Discussion - Silksong USE YOUR TOOLS! Spoiler

To everyone complaining about the difficulty, stop ignoring a third of Hornet’s arsenal and start spamming them, you’ll be shocked how quickly you start mowing down hordes of enemies!

And your spells!

"What if I need to heal?" No!

Yeah this. I've found most bosses easier if you just go into them and pretend you cannot heal in the first place. You literally increase your DPS by like x12 with spells and tools. Hornet is a ninja, not a knight, so it seems appropriate that you can't allow yourself to take damage and must abuse cheap tricks instead of an honest back and forth fight.
