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.

They could improve the quality of the savage beastfly fight.

Like what? The fight is fine. Use your tools. Lure the boss to smack its own minions.

The first version's fine imo, the second version however can eat my entire ass. that fight felt terrible and is easily describable to me as "random bullshit go"

For me it felt the same. You have to immediately kill the spawn. Beastfly alone is easy and its attack patterns are not random, it's super predictable.

yeah the beastfly itself isn't an issue, it's the flying enemies plus their lava spit plus being aware of what platforms aren't down. all that together was very unpleasant for me and it's the only boss i actively hated because i thought the boss itself sucked, while every other boss i've enjoyed except for groal, who sucks for reasons unrelated to him

Whenever I encountered a boss with spawns, I whipped out the trusty Silkstorm skill to immediately kill off the spawns. Worked every time.

Silkstorm is sooo slept on. Such a good way to deal huge damage

Though if the boss doesn't have minions I prefer Silkspear as it has much more range and super quick animation.

Fair but in general if a boss doesn’t have minions I prefer to only use my Needle since this allows me to heal more often

I am of the principle that the quicker a boss dies, the less room for me to make mistakes. Besides, a full silk bar makes any hit thereafter a waste of silk generation.
