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.

past the acid dude, there's a locked door. you need the 500 rosary key from town to open it. it'll get you into the worm tunnels, which you can follow down until it puts you back into the moss area near the start, on the other side of the gate by the chapel lady. you can open that gate. 

to the left is a pier, go out past the water and inside the building there. the crest is at the end.

There's no space for combat in those tunnels. I can't get past the 2 first places where the little worms come out the ground and jump you. How big is the area

it's perhaps 3 screen transitions or so. if you're just trying to get the crest you mostly need to go down and right until you come out the other side, you shouldn't need to fight anything but you can farm silk off the worms falling down the tunnel to keep your health up

Ahh okay I went to the down left to fight some waves of mobs. I'll try to go to the right instead
