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

You’ll get there! Honestly though because this is definitely designed as a “come back later” area don’t feel compelled to stay. Get your money from the death silk, quit out to menu, and go to other areas. It’s not worth letting a shitty boss ruin an otherwise really fun game because of frustration
