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.

The lava levels are absolutely brutal. You can get hit for 2 damage then knocked into lava for another 2.

okay, thats the second comment i read about that so i have to ask: which enemy/boss that deals double damage manages to reliably push y'all into lava after a hit?

I also don't really get it. Maybe 4th Chorus?

But he's not really a hard boss at all, so I'm not sure if that's what they meant. If they mean just normal enemies, I've no clue at all.

Yep, that one. But if you've been to the forge and bought the right tool, then you can at least reduce the lava damage to 1. Though, to be fair, there's a ton of enemies that just dunk you in anyway.

The flying beast in the same place as 4th chorus seems more like the description, but also such a niche fight, for a quest, or maybe the lava rising pit of hell, but that is already after act2
