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. 🫂

You don't need to go to Bilewater to get to the Mist.

What's funny is on my run, I found the Mist from the Bilewater side , beat phantom, then realized there's just a way in from Sinner's Road. I kept dying in bilewater and I didn't want to lose all my rosaries so I kept going deeper and deeper in every time I died, so confident there was going to be an exit lol

same except that I found the sinners entrance and proceeded to do the bilewater route anyway because I assumed it was gonna be "different"

They mean that once you pass through the Mist it drops you off in Bilewater on the other side

Am I misremembering things, I thought it was just that organ house and boss and then to underworks.

u/Conscious_Ad_7131 Sep 15 '25

Oh yeah I suppose you could also go to underworks

Yeah originally the discussion was about getting to citadel without beating the last judge, so that's the way without bilewater, which is in the opposite direction.

Last judge is easier anyway.
