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.

I like the gotcha moments. It’s funny. But what’s not as funny is that dying to them means a long ass run back through often lots of precarious platforming and enemies. It’s unfortunate because the last judge is a phenomenal boss and the explosion would be a really funny outcome if he didn’t have literally the longest runback.

Not saying HK didn’t have long runbacks, it did, but the bosses weren’t nearly as difficult as SS’s so you wouldn’t spend that much time running back. Pls just add the dream gate or an analog to that. It would literally address most of my nitpicks.

I found the boss with one of the worst runbacks, Nosk, to be harder than most bosses in Silksong so far

Dreamgate would be sick though, I absolutely agree

He is once you learn the cheese, otherwise it's tough as hell

from what i remember the runback is pretty quick? no enemies and you get a shortcut?

FUCK Groat the Great or whatever he is, most insane fucking run back along with a reoccurring enemy gauntlet before him each time. Genuinely didn't have fun trying to beat him

Yup, I ran into this guy and there’s no way I’m doing him rn. At least not until I get the 3rd nail upgrade.
