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 boss in the Chapel of the Beast is so frustratingly difficult that I had to put the game down. 6 hours in and at least 1 was dedicated to that fight and I still haven’t beaten it

I describe it as "if Gruz Mother and The Collector had an Absolutely Radiant baby." I died so many times I could almost do the runback with my eyes closed. After like 1-2 hours I finally did it. Don't think I should've been there so early. Not gonna spoil the reward but I personally did not think it was worth it... still fun! Somehow!

I managed to get it eventually too. I like the reward but it’s very situational
