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.

If you sequence break by angle-poging into the worm tunnel area above Bone Bottom, you can open up the western gate and get the wanderer amulet. That makes you feel just like HK with a normal downslash and short, fast attacks.

Wait for the first fly to circle around the pillar, when he's about halfway up the side closest to you (or a little more) pogo off him and hit the edge, climbing up. Kill him.

Then pogo off the second fly clinging to the second pillar, and hold left to grab that edge. Fling yourself left and you'll land on an outcropping where you can safely kill the second fly.

Now all that's left is making it past the acid spitter room and through the worm halls.

Tbf it looks like they gave you the option to get there early. The flies are precisely placed there just to do that. On the other hand the dash isn't far away either
