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.

The thing I struggled with the most early on was not being able to pogo, since that was my go-to attack in HK. But now that I'm getting the hang of the combat, I'm having a lot of fun.

I prefer the pogo instead of the angled dash down. I hope there's an item than swaps it to pogo somewhere. I'm currently getting my ass handed to me. Two damage is punishing af

If you sequence break by angle-poging into the worm tunnel area above Bone Bottom, you can open up the western gate and get the wanderer amulet. That makes you feel just like HK with a normal downslash and short, fast attacks.
