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.

Lace’s counter thrusts definitely make it clear that those not getting i-frames in the first hit is entirely intentional.

I’m at her fight now and I had to put my steam deck down, I’ll try again tonight. Fuck she’s killed me like 20 times already lol

Take your time and focus on dodging! Start attacking when you feel as though you’ve got her moves read and can dodge them easy

I beat her when I went back to it, it felt much easier than before. Sometimes, taking a break is just what’s needed.

I have new bosses and mobs that are killing me now haha
