The player can recover health through using Bloodlust attacks which do take time to charge up. What I also found is that the dash to dodge could be unresponsive or slow at times, meaning damage was taken even when a dodge appeared to be timed correctly. Patterns are easy to work out but there is still randomness involved which means that you could be doing well in a fight but something will catch you off guard. However, Eldest Souls seems to unevenly tilt towards players needing quite a lot of luck in some fights. The intent is to make you figure out each one’s attack pattern so you can get past them.

I wish that there were more than ten bosses, but you’ll still need several hours to beat them all. It helps you get into a flow state as you take on each new challenge.Įldest Souls is a massive challenge. Instead, it blends into the background, offering an appropriate soundstage for your battles against the Old Gods. The music isn’t meant to draw your attention.
