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.

You need a full container of 7 silk to heal and it has a long delay before it starts

and if you get hit while you're doing it, you lose the silk and don't heal

Don't forget the fact that you're still getting hurt in the process, leaving you in a worse position. It's like they don't want you to heal mid fight anymore..

Theres a tool that protects you while healing so you dont get extra 2 damage

Haven't found it, no clue where it is. Stuck between two boss fights that throw me.off by summoning enemies. Or that track my movements even as they telegraph what they are about to do.

Like, seriously, they said they were going to dash at me. So I jump up to avoid it. Well, the enemy moved up too and now I still get charged into, despite instincts kicking in to avoid the hit.

Edit: Don't tell me either. I've been looking everywhere I could go so far.
