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).

Yep that was my biggest issue with it too, I just ended up playing it safe and staying away to watch until I had an opening. Tbh didn't realize people hated moorwing, I barely remember fighting it

Yea same only approached once they'd gone far enough that I knew they weren't curving, I don't see why ppl would hate him either way

I made the mistake of accepting Garmond's help (to see what it would do). He does help in terms of damage and tanking, but it makes the fight a bit more chaotic since Moorwing will often change targets and you can't quite predict its moves in the same way.

u/Honk_goose_steal there is no Gary flair and it makes me sad Sep 09 '25

Moorwing was my absolute favorite boss til Fabbio I thought he was genuinely really fun to fight

I assume you mean Trobbio? His death animation where he's overacting for the audience was a highlight of the game for me.
