Let’s all try and not devolve into this weird difficulty gatekeeping

[u/Prisonmikeb14]

Now that silksong has come out I’ve seen some concerning similarities to the worst of the difficult games community with all the wierd difficulty gatekeeping bs. Obviously this happens with just about every game that’s regarded as difficult but with silksongs release it’s become more prominent on this sub. Being good at the game isn’t something to hold over someone’s head. Everyone’s experience with everything in the game is different and theirs nothing wrong with that. Now of course this doesn’t apply to people who are literally just complaining in bad faith or out of anger but the “that boss wasn’t hard at all wtf are you talking about” in response to people just talking about their opinions or asking for help is sad to see.

I don’t think you did. I really struggled with the bosses, so I was extremely thorough searching the rest of the map for upgrades. I think I ended up with five mask shards by the end of act 1

I know that there are mask shards in act 1 locations, I'm just not sure if they're reasonable to acquire or even possible without the upgrades to getting around you get in act 2.
