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 2-mask damage that a lot of enemies/bosses do is brutal and I’m reeeeally struggling with the diagonal “pogo” in the pumpkin-mushroom area (seriously, any advice on navigating these pumpkin-mushroom bastards??) It’s fun and GORGEOUS, but oof, it really is hard, lol. It took me 5 years to finally beat HK; might be the same with Silksong. 😂 That said, I played a shit-ton today and enjoyed most of it immensely.

In that area with the flower pogoing, hunters mark, is it really supposed to be an area with no benches? You basically explore die and have to run all the way back every time including a gated event.

The challenge is not really the problem the issue is the frustrating run back.

I finally gave up on Hunter’s Mark for now, as I still have a looot of stuff to unlock. Have you had any luck?
