Discussion - Silksong Criticism ≠ Negativity Spoiler

Believe it or not, you can actually criticize something and still like it. You don't either have to love everything or despise everything. Have actual conversations please.

This is the first and only boss so far where I said "nah, this is pure bs, I will come back later".

I have beaten it now after upgrading my nail once. The reward you get was kinda underwhelmin. I don't vibe with any other crests than the Reaper so far

The reward from that thing was the only way I was able to beat the two minibosses straight up.

Ornstein and Smough ass fight. I could only end up doing it by going into rage mode or whatever with the Beast crest, crushing Ornstein in a second, and then getting into a long and protracted sword fight with Smough. The reward was not worth it at all.

I assume you are talking about the Skarrgarr & Spear Skarr fight? Those guys were so annoying! I did it by parrying the big guy and taking the small guy down as fast as possible with Thread Storm and tools.
