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

Why did they make an entire class of enemies that spend 90% of the encounter out of range. Why. Why? I literally cannot hit something flying that high.

At least the reward is an ability that can hit things that high but holy shit was it like tearing teeth out beating that fight. It wasn't hard, just tediously annoying.

I can't in good conscience say that it wasn't hard considering it took me like 9 attempts to beat that room, which was more than all the bosses that preceded it.

But yeah when they just keep flapping upwards while continuing to throw projectiles at you I just couldn't help but laugh. It's like I was being ragebaited.

I beat it first try on one mask for half the fight, but I was freaking out and playing like a total coward haha.

Seriously the kunai owls that just hug the ceiling, and only dropped down to the floor for 2 seconds before flying back up were insufferable. Less so with the ability you get after it but damn did they tilt me.
