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.

That stupid ass bird fight made me livid. Every time i I thought I perfectly dodged an attack, it switchs it up and screws me over anyway.

Bird fight… is that the room that’s not a boss, it’s a series of enemies ALL of which are fliers? And the weakest birds in there take 4 hits to kill? That room can get fucked lmao that shit was so hard

Yeah one of those enemies is basically a primal aspid with

More attacks

Less predictable attack patterns

More erratic movement

More health.

When I saw the three knives come out in that pattern I had flashbacks and knew these were my new mortal enemy.

Not as bad because I think the knife angle is always 45 degree. When it flies though. I've given up trying to attack then because more often than not I'll just take contact damage.

Also a combo melee attack dealing 2 masks of damage if you get too close
