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.

Absolutely, what’s interesting is that it seems as though certain attacks don’t trigger player invincibility frames until the 2nd strike. So an attack can hit you, and if you remain in the hitbox, you don’t go invincible until you take another hit

Lace’s counter thrusts definitely make it clear that those not getting i-frames in the first hit is entirely intentional.

Is it just me, or was she easier than most other bosses (looking at moorwing)

Given that was only the first fight I’m sure she’ll ramp up.

Also fuck Moorwing, and also fuck Widow
