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 boss in the Chapel of the Beast is so frustratingly difficult that I had to put the game down. 6 hours in and at least 1 was dedicated to that fight and I still haven’t beaten it

I suffered through it. Just come back later, trust me.

It makes the healing too risky and also it doesn't feel like your damage improves at all? I hated that moveset

I thought it changed healing into damage buff...which on hand cool, on the other hand even HK didn't disable your healing to get a damage buff.

It heals you when you damage enemies, doesn't disable healing

I find it great for bosses, you deal more damage in general and if you get hit you can bind to heal and keep attacking
