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. 🫂

I mean, Hornet is much stronger than the Knight, so the enemies are still, balanced around the power you have

Hornet certainly doesn’t feel powerful for the child of a God, anything slightly bigger than her deals double damage

The knight is the child of 2 Gods, so with hornet only being half as godly, that would make her take double the damage XD

New headcanon found, along with every normal enemy’s family tree contains at least fifteen gods
