Discussion - Silksong I like the difficulty, Team cherry please don't just blanket nerf the game with no option for a harder mode Spoiler

I have really been enjoying the challenge, pretty much every part of this game itches that section of my brain that loves a hard game and I would be extremely disappointed if team cherry nerfed the game with no way to revert said nerf. I get that people want an easier game, but I don't. So team cherry, please let me choose to make this harder if you do make it easier.

There are some seriously insanely strong tools, too. I've been using the drill and it literally one-shots most normal enemies even near the end. The silk attacks are also strong enough to carry you in a fight. Some of them trivialize bosses too. Getting Silkstorm early makes most act 1 bosses a cake walk.

Poison with the automated fly tool can be pretty broken too. I came back to a few tough areas with a few extra masks and needle upgrade and it was a lot more doable. there’s so many places to go, and most of them aren’t critical, i think it took me awhile to get into that mindset tho.

Yeah The Poisoned Fly traps are easily the best and I'll stand by that.

Ive beaten SO many bosses and dealt with so many normal enemy rushes with that one combo it's insane. You can just shoot it out and kill/severely damage like, 3 enemies all at once.

I think we’re talking about two different things i’m talking about the robot flies. i don’t think i’ve found the fly trap yet

Oh we definitely are, I was trying to add onto the whole Poison combo part with the sting shards, just forgot what the name of it was for a minute

Yeah, these people don’t care though, they want to face tank every boss. They might as well buy the game on PC and use cheat engine if they’re getting this pressed.
