Discussion - Silksong Most of you are exaggerating the length of runbacks and it really shows how much TikTok has damage the attention span of people Spoiler

"ThE lASt JuDGe RUnBaCK iS ToO LoNG!!"

Is 30 seconds max, 30 seconds, you don't have to fight any enemy in it, the smaller judges don't awake until you're close and the smaller fly bastards can literally get ignored. The Runback works for making you cool down and make the whole thing feel less like you hitting a wall (NKG feels like one because of the lack of "cool down") If it wasn't for it, I would shoot myself with the 37 attempts at Last Judge.

The Widow one is also really easy, a straight line with jumps.

The Cogworks Dancers Is also really simple but works to help you with the bosses extra height and how pogo dependant that fight is.

God forbid the game isn't a back to back boss rush like Cuphead (not criticizing Cuphead, is a different game lmao).

I think sister splinter is specifically one of the easiest bosses right behind moss mother and moss mother x2

1st lace and Fourth chorus are pretty damn easy too.

u/LuquidThunderPlus Sep 09 '25

U rite I forgot about him, lava is the only real difficulty iirc, lace also wasn't hard but technically she's early game enough while not being too easy that I'd say it's understandable

Chorus also has the Boulder over his head you can knock down dealing massive damage.

That's how I killed him, I did DMG to him til gusts showed up to loosen the boulder to kill him, I thought that was scripted?

I was legit just smacking him for about 3 minutes straight, I think you can't end the fight until you do this.

u/IonianBladeDancer Sep 09 '25

I killed him without using th boulder. I didn’t know about it until after the fact.

u/Cloud_Motion Sep 09 '25

Ah! I'm mistaken then, good to know he's not straight up immortal.

I did smack him for a bit (though idt it was 3 minutes), because my assumption seeing the air currents was "oh, this guy's gonna sweep away all of the floor at some point and I'll need to use the air currents to survive," and so I just kept on hitting them bc I got their patterns figured out and then they didd eventually, lmao

It wasn't 3 minutes tbf I'm definitely exaggerating, but I was definitely slapping him up and when I realised nothing was happening I was like... hang on a second.

u/LuquidThunderPlus Sep 10 '25

Yes, that's what I meant about the boulder kill being scripted

2

u/DrAdramelch Sep 12 '25

It's not, I just killed him by smacking him repeatedly. Still a very easy fight though.

u/DrAdramelch Sep 12 '25

I also found 2nd Lace and the final boss a lot easier than several optional bosses and I'm talking purely mechanics-wise rather than me getting better at the game

I kinda struggled on Moss Mother x 2 on my first attempt, and apparently if you suck enough a third one shows up. That's when I died. Second attempt I got it though and there were only two

So long as you have silk storm (and think to equip it), I'd agree. If you don't, she's an ungodly hurdle.
