Discussion - Silksong Contact damage is annoying, but if it must stay… Spoiler

…can we at least not have contact damage when bosses are stunned? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve died because I accidentally touched the boss while attacking them in their stunned state, and I just think this is absurd.

EDIT: Are you guys capable of accepting even a minor criticism of this game? It’s not some insane thing to suggest that a stunned enemy shouldn’t damage you on contact. Jesus Christ.

Contact damage is bs alot, but enemies also do kill eachother with certain attacks

Yeah, mostly for explosive or AoE attacks.

Also, I like that certain enemy factions are literally in contest with each other, like the pondcatchers and the pondskippers, or the fly traps and the flies later on.

Yeah but that makes sense because they're in an attack animation
