My internal clock has been utterly derailed by having finished school last week, so I didn’t even notice that it’s Friday again lol. I don’t have any soulslikes on my plate right now - sounding like a broken record at this point - but I’ve been thinking about trying to get a PS4 emulator running on my PC to give Bloodborne another go. It’s been way too long since I’ve last played it.
I’m not sure if it’s the saddest boss in a soulslike, but Romeo from Lies of P is definitely up there. The second playthrough recontextualises many boss fights and this one was just gut wrenching.
What’s your pick?
No soulslike right now, because I’m working my way through the Resident Evil series in order, but this made me want to play Lies of P again.
The first one that came to mind is Sif in Dark Souls, specifically if you do the DLC first and she recognizes you. She goes from a regular monster boss to a sentient creature with a long memory and complex emotions.
Also, poor loyal puppy baby.
