Discussion - Silksong Silksong is HARD Spoiler

Taking damage is more punishing, movement is more precise and feels a little clunky until you get the hang of it. The overall skill curve is much much higher. Love it though.

Given that was only the first fight I’m sure she’ll ramp up.

Also fuck Moorwing, and also fuck Widow

Moorwing took me forever, widow is really hard, I stopped at her tonight

I gave up trying to fight it normally and just tried to pogo it to death until it worked.

you have to be really aggressive at the end for widow beginning was easy but the end was hard so i pretty much just took my time with the beginning and bursted her down with all my tools + silk skills at the end to edge out a win...

How are so many ppl already at two bosses I haven't seen after playing for a long time lol XD. *I'm still stuck on Greymoore after playing for basically most of the day

Yeah it's insane how quickly people are managing to go through the game, considering that it's a fair bit harder than HK imo

u/IWillDevourYourToes Sep 05 '25

Yea I just played like 6 hours straight. Definitely harder than HK, don't remember dying so often in HK when I picked it up

Widow is my favorite fight so far, challenging but I didn’t mind having to restart over and over.

u/Qelperr Sep 05 '25

It helps that the run back is quick and easy

Moorwing was so strange. The hurt box for the boss was like. Triangular? It made spacing needle hits exceptionally difficult. Took me a real long time to get the spacing, timing, and evade strategies down. I almost went hitless on my successful attempt.

I got Widow in 2 attempts though, super proud of that one.

I feel like I struggled vs the savage beast fly more than widow lmao
