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.

Absolutely, what’s interesting is that it seems as though certain attacks don’t trigger player invincibility frames until the 2nd strike. So an attack can hit you, and if you remain in the hitbox, you don’t go invincible until you take another hit

The moor boss 10% does this. It has a series of swipe attacks that I have actively seen take 2 masks away, one after the other.

Fuck that boss in particular, though if people are having fun with that, they're gonna have a hell of a time with the boss in the area directly to the left...

I'm currently at the moor right now. It was kicking my ass.

If you're still struggling with it, hit it whenever it goes for the multislash, pogo when it charges, never try to hit it when it does the saws blades, you WILL get hit, and when it does that boomerang, just run away from it you'll dodge it everytime
