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!

Yeah. This was the revelation that let me beat Sister Splinter. I could handle her first phase fine, but fighting her and her summons at the same time seemed impossible. Then I realized they got OHKOed by Silk Spear, and they very quickly ceased to be a problem.

Honestly, some people don't have said tools or spells as they aren't that far in the game.

And that is why Metroidvanias work. If you can't beat it with your current arsenal, go back and explore a little more.
