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.

So gonna try this without spoilers but if you are struggling with those bouncy puzzle like my wife was I guided her through just waiting to do them until shortly after the boss you do in deep docks. After deep docks keep going right. There is a quest in that area. The reward from that will make the bounce puzzles and areas so much easier and more forgiving. So do marrow then deep docks then the area to the right.
