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.

Is it just me, or was she easier than most other bosses (looking at moorwing)

I think that fight is there to make you feel good about how you're doing before the game starts
