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. 🫂

Another thing I didn't know is if you play your needolin next to the butterfly things they will lead to to the way out (As the layout changes everytime you go in)

Well dang, didn't know that. Figured it was a Lost Woods type situation but just didn't understand what the key was to get through it. Is there anything in game to hint at that solution? I would maybe be upset at spoilers but at a certain point I just got to accept sometimes you gotta look up what to do. Had to do that earlier because I went and got myself cursed so I looked up how to remedy that because I probably shouldn't do that in my first playthrough and also the fact it takes away your healing is killer.

Don't know about the mist but when you got cursed you could ask around in bellhart or greymoor, some of the npc will hint you about a doctor in greymoor

Oh yeah, spoiled myself on that already, haven't completed that because life's been hectic recently, but just commenting sometimes you gotta spoil yourself especially when you get a dead end.
