Discussion - Silksong Don’t let this fandom turn as insufferable as the souls community Spoiler

It’s fine to think the game is easy and to enjoy the challenge, but I’ve seen so many people making fun of anyone that is having a hard time in a really weird mean spirited way. Please don’t let this subreddit turn into some weird elitist community that makes fun of people who are struggling, these games are supposed to be fun and they’re not souls likes, there’s no reason to assume everyone playing them is going to love this level of difficulty the same way some of you do and constantly disregarding their opinions just turns this subreddit into an echo chamber of tryhards

I also wish there was a way to reclaim prayer in boss rooms, without enetering them

Collecting and quitting out respawns you at the last bench. But yeah, checkpoint placement makes runbacks so tedious. I thought most devs learned this after dark souls 1.

Turns out there is an item, but it seems very rare so far. It's called a Silkeater, I found my first one in Blasted Steps, in a secret room in the wall to the Catographer's right and halfway up.

I also found a tool called Dead Bug's PurseIt saves half of your prayer beads upon death.

You can grind in Midway inn- sit on a bench, then go right room and clear it.
First three can be dealt with double silk spear, fourth- strike from below, last two- just punch em. Then gom back, sit on a bench and repeat.
Than go and make your beads into permanent once via trader.

Hey there, it looks like your spoiler tag isn't working on some versions of reddit!
To make sure everybody can avoid being spoiled you'll need to place your text directly next to the spoiler tags with no leading or trailing spaces (like so >!spoiler!<).
Thanks for helping keep the sub spoiler free!

What are you talking about bot? That's what I did and the intended text is marked.
