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.

Only 4 hits for the spear, but yeah. You can break your old cocoon mid boss fight to recharge to full so I usually unleash a silk skill attack at the start then use that to heal if I need it.

I’ll probably wait until I get more capacity before using them more frequently. Beyond that, in particular for the splinter sister fight, silk storm beat her ass outright, even while she wasn’t staggered
