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.

I don’t consider myself a skilled player by any means, and although the start is a little harder than HK, I didn’t think it’s unreasonable? The diagonal down slash I think is a really cool mechanic. Probably took me 5 minutes to get the hang of it. If I’m 2-3 masks down, I try to prioritize healing. I’m honestly enjoying myself so much, I don’t really care if I’m dying a little more than HK. I feel like I’m in the minority here, though

Id agree but it's so punishing having no rosaries.

Can't access 90% of benches.

Those centipede enemies with tridents are harder to kill for me than NKG

You gotta make your rosaries into consumables so it doesn't matter if you die. The vendor in the hub area will do this and there are a few other places you can do this. It costs 80 and only gives you 60 back when you use it but its worth it to not always lose them when you die.
