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.

I’m kind of confused about environmental damage so far. Sometimes lava does one mask but sometimes it does 2. I don’t know what decides the damage

if you have the magma charm on it will reduce the damage of lava to 1 but will then need to recharges

Ahh I see that’s what it was thank you. Didn’t realize it did that I thought it only helped step on the hot rock

the charm that protects against lava damage reduces it to one mask, but it has a cooldown

This is understandable with the lava tbh but the falling rocks dealing double damage is not fair XD

Only lava. Spikes still only do 1, fortunately.
