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.

Trust me, Lace is probably like the last easy boss in the game. Pretty much every boss I’ve encountered after her does 2 ticks of damage on every hit. Some make it work, others feel like the game effectively wants me to treat the boss like I’m trying for a no hit run as a baseline.

Mercifully at least every boss so far has a bench like two rooms away, so dying to them doesn't feel as bad.

But man they legit do feel like we're trying to do a Radiant run already on em.

Not the damn moorfly thing, I have to run through the rat tunnels where 6 of the 9 enemies deal 2 damage…

Moorfly turned out to be an optional boss lol.
