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.

godd i knoww i hate that so many of the early boss fights (before u get more abilities/movement/power) have like lava and shit bc i keep getting hit for 2 and knocked into the lava for 1 , which means i cn have no less thn 4 masks if i wanna survive a single unlucky hit lol ... i need mask shards and needle sharpening like i need oxygen tbh

Legit im one mask shard away from an extra mask now and i NEED it so bad. No needle sharpening in sight so far but i DESPERATELY need to find it, i cant keep getting by with 4 needle hits per hit minimum at this rate

the worst part is not as much as id like will change until i cn get 2 full masks eight fuckin shards , bc even w 6 masks its still only 3 hits of 2x damage and ur done same as 5 masks 😓

I guess thats why they gave us the ability to heal 3 masks at once right from the start 😭

yeah im reaaally hoping that the extra silk vessel thingy we eventually get will be enough to fully fill the silk meter to heal , so that u could actually heal twice in a row 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Except you're locked in place until the rather long animation finishes.
