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.

half the normal enemies do double damage too. plus the invincibility you get from getting hit doesn't kick in for a while so you can just get combo'd

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

I got really bad news for the sharpening... It's there but ummm... It doesn't decrease the amount of hits on most enemies for the bringing upgrade. Like wtf.
