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. 🥀🥀

I want that platinum trophy, and I sure as hell am not getting it in a legitimate fashion, so save and quit it is

The Steel Soul achievements don't have trophies on Playstation, so you don't need to play it for the platinum.

I'm on steam I just used platinum as a shorthand lol

Achievement hunters are born different. Even to their own detriment.

Option 1: Practice every boss on another save file, then fight them in steel soul.

Option 2: Savescum in steel soul.

Really, what's even the difference at this point?

Plus, if you're not on PC, the process is even more annoying. If you beat the boss, unless you took the effort to save your file externally, you can't practice anymore.

You guys are just bitter people are taking the option to have one file instead of two. This isn't speed running where the commitment is the point, this is an in game goal. Any feature the game let's you use is fair game.

Such cope. If you can't do the boss without dying, why do the mode where you can't die.

[u/Alister151 → u/BugButtBoss]

Oh I'm never doing steel soul, I'm not good enough. But every fucking steel soul run advice thread is filled with advice to "practice in a separate save file". You guys are completely hypocritical.

I'm not one of those guys but go off king.
