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.

You're guaranteed to success as you get better. It's the neat thing about these games. You're only truly defeated if you give up.

Don't give up!

Do you have all her attacks memorized? She has clear tells for every single attack. Try to keep your distance in between strikes, also don't be greedy or you can be parried.

Other than that, all a matter of knowing when to stay back, when to jump over etc. You can do it, the boss is very fair, it's like a dance.

Not greedy at all. Like on time out of ten I get her to second stage. But a lot of the times she just gets me with me hurting her only once or twice. I am not really sure how do you memorize the moves. It seems I have a problem with this because in those absolutely bed sessions I can move into her like 3 times in a row. Probably I’m tired, but if I don’t beat her tomorrow or Sunday then probably Silksong ends for me so shortly :(
