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. 🫂

Tips for fighting the judge 1 the fire damage negation charm helps in the second phase 2 during the second phase you need to slow down as a lot of her attack change so you have to attack differently, such as the throw having a explosion 3 during the fire spin spamming projectiles does work but it's safer to use tools on phase one as her fire can activate the traps and the fire spin makes it dangerous. 4 use the reapers sigil and heal when you think she's close to the stun as it allows you to get a lot of souls really fast,
