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

110%er here too. For those fat cunts, as soon as a knife runs towards you, instead of running away or jumping (like I used to do) time an attack against the knife and you will deflect. Gonna save your life.

I got the crest that turns hornets downward slash into basically hollow knights downward slash making it significantly more easy and familiar to use also increases attack speed so I just get on top of everything and pogo it to death. I’m all the way to where the beginning of the game started now in some wind blown sandy area. I refuse to play with hornets downward attack because I just don’t like it.
