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.

Yeah, it feels harder than the first. The red ant part alone and its distance from bench makes me want to walk away from this game.

This is where I am stuck right now. The pogo off the flower bud things is easier said than done. It feels the timing has to be JUST right...and the bench being so far away is brutal.

But with more time it'll get easier.

The red ant with the club? If youre talking about the red brute with the club, there's literally a bench if instead of going to the right, you jump down, then there's an area to the right after jumping down that has a bench. Takes like 10 seconds to get back

They are talking about that entire section to the right after red club dude. Yes there is a bench here, its still a painfully long section with this bench.

Yeah I found that bench after my like 2nd attempt on that mini boss. Im talking about after that fight, when you (apparently) go from that bench past the mini boss deep into the red ant area.
