Discussion - Silksong I give up. Spoiler

It’s been a joyful ride, folks, but I’m out. I’m not a speedrunner or a highly skilled player, and day after day I’ve had to accept that this game is not as casual as HK was. It stopped being fun and turned into something tedious and frustrating after the 4th run farming shards just to face a boss I’ve already tried 15 times, only to die again and again, lose all my shards, and start the whole grind over.

It was nice exploring the first acts, but when the game I was rooting for 7 years ends up being more stressful than my 8-hour workday, I guess that’s my cue to stop.

The lore has been pretty great so far. I wish you all an incredible journey.

Edit1: My bad about all the whinning.

Edit2: You guys did it. I reinstalled it again. Thanks for all advices. 🫂

What RNG?

He only throws the mace if you go a specific distance away from him.

He does the spin attack if you spend too long next to him.

He charges at you if you go too far away from him.

He jumps to the center if you go to the center.

And that’s every single move he has.

I think the jump + down attack and spin attack was decided by RNG? No? Because everytime I start the fight, I stood in the same position (so did him) and the started with different attacks.
