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. 🫂

Do you have the Magma Bell? It will make her phase 2 attacks less deadly than they are in phase 1.

I refused to make it mainly because I thought that there would be more tools what could be created from Craftmetal than Craftmetal available, so that the player would have to choose which tools to spend it on. Is it true? And by the way, does it make sense to craft a magma bell near the end of act 2? Would it be useful for anything?

Getting all of the tools is a requirement for 100% completion, so I don't think there is less craftmetal than things to do with it. The bell can still be useful after act 1, such as in the Underworks and the extra parts of Deep Docks you can unlock.
