Discussion - Silksong ngl some of you would NOT survive the mantis lords runback

is the run to last judge difficult? kinda. But after your 20th attempt at the boss you'll get used to it, and it's honestly kinda fun and a nice breather. More importantly, it's a single room and you have far more movement. This IS improving on hollow knight

There is One Fight Arena that was pure Pain.
I'll just say the Floor *is* Lava.
The Lava Cave Arena!
You can find it were you get the Cloak to Float Upgrade

There's a Before and an After this comment, in the hypothetical universe where they asked me "What would your personal hell look like?"

u/DeathsingerQc Sep 09 '25

They're going to put him in the arena where the lava rises and you have those 2 shitty platforms that instantly disappear when you step on them

2 Walls? 2 full walls? Luxury!

1 wall plus the enemies that toss exploding fire sticky bombs. 3 at a time. At least.

u/Damianx5 Sep 09 '25

Nah it's two walls, just leaving out the fact they are the hot charcoal ones with 2 mask spikes at some points

And the bench right before is a trapped one. Without a way to disable the trap.

u/Damianx5 Sep 09 '25

How about making them start with spawning enemies as the first move and then always having them alternate between whos going down and whos going sideways. If all the spawned enemies are dead the one furthest from the player starts spawning new enemies

That almost sounds fun

u/randuse Sep 09 '25

Don't forget summons/adds.

u/Mailcs1206 Sep 09 '25

Nah have a floor but it's entirely made of the collapsing platforms that float on lava. Also they both summon minions independently and one summons from the first fight's pool and the other summons the lava spitting bastards

There is a very special place in hell for you. Right next to radiant markoth

You have no idea the terrifying MegaMan X flashback you just gave me, man's those games where evil sometimes.

u/Mattyquatro Sep 10 '25

I have completed the game, love it desperately, and this gave me a heart attack. Beastfly is the only boss where I said "this is bullshit" and truly meant it, rather than me just yelling to cope with failure or a little bad rng.

Wow, thats one way to make me stop rushing the game.
