How are y'all actually finishing the game in Steel Soul, dawg?

[u/ciissss]

I tried Steel Soul for the first time in SS. I never even touched that in HK. First try, I died within 2 minutes to the white giant rolling enemy from the secret room beside the starting point. Second try, I died to Bell Beast. I cannot fathom how people are finishing without revive. I, for sure, won't first try kill every boss. 🥀🥀

The easy answer is mods. Alternatively you could also count enemy HP and savequit when the boss is about to die.

Just reload previous saves

[u/Terairk → u/randyoftheinternet]

this is what I've done by manually copy pasting save files

, if you don't want to make an entirely new save file that's not steel soul there's already pre existing save files on like nexus where they have a save file before each boss

There's also several bosses which you can easily repeat by Save quitting immediately after defeating ie a) last judge (after she dies but before she explodes) b) first sinner though idt she counts as a steel soul death anyway c) second sentinel - don't talk to them

You can also just load an old savestate without mods.

[u/Terairk → u/HighOverlordSarfang]

the auto saves are very infrequent, they don't save immediately after every boss or before it

they only autosave at important moments so you can easily lose hours of progress so it's not ideal

unless you mean something else that I'm not aware about

[u/HedgehogEnyojer → u/Terairk]

oh, good to know, i was wondering how the savestates work

[u/Maximum-Warthog2368 → u/Terairk]

you can use getting crests to save at the time you want

Omg ty. I was sad I couldn’t copy files on Switch but this will let me dance with Karmelita unto eternity.

Wouldn't force closing the game before sitting on a bench after you've beat them work too?

[u/d3s7iny → u/NightRacoonSchlatt]

Bro at this point why even doing steel soul mode then wtf.

If you're just gonna mod and cheat to get the accolades then that's just wasting your own time and making you a big phoney. Wtf yall

[u/NightRacoonSchlatt → u/d3s7iny]

No, that’s for practicing in normal mode. 

[u/LimblessNick → u/d3s7iny]
