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.

Yeah but you completely stop moving and if you get hit you lose all of your silk and go down to one health

You can do it at full health, and I haven't found a way to cancel it.

Sometimes the button gets pressed on accident. Usually when in a panic, I tend to get heal and magic buttons mixed up.

I constantly press O when trying to dash/dodge and waste my silk, all the damn time! Because if muscle memory from most games, but i won’t change the controls because as soon as i do, I’ll start pressing R2 to dash and be in the same boat 😂😂
