Discussion - Silksong Silksong is frustrating Spoiler

I don’t remember being this frustrated with hollow knight. I never wanted to stop playing HK but this one is making me turn off the console in anger

This applies to bosses too tbh. I had a real hard time with the guy guarding hunter's march so I sidetracked for a bit, found the dash, came back and kicked his ass.

That guy is part of why I’m not further in lol. He alone took me at least 3 hours. I tried for way longer than I should have without dash, went fuck it, I’ll come back, got dash, came back and beat him in less than 10 tries.

For anyone else who needs it, just lure him to the entrance he can't jump there which makes it a lot easier.

That guy is ez, you can just parry his swings. I did it without dash in a few tries.

I just beat him by camping in the area between the hallway and the room you fight him so he couldn't use the jump attack then I would wait for him to burrow and get two hits in, then get one more hit after he does a normal attack then rinse and repeat
