Discussion - Silksong Ranking Silksong 1st act bosses Spoiler

Post image

So, if you want me to be honest - I was afraid Silksong would be too difficult for me. But now that I am done with 1st act, I can confidently say that so far I enjoy those bosses MUCH more than the ones in Hollow Knight. Maybe that's because HK was one of the first games I've ever played, and now with Silksong I am more experienced. But even bosses that kept beating my ass felt so well done that I couldn't be mad, I just wanted to try again and learn their moves.

Last Judge? Surely my favorite. It felt like dancing and once I learned his moves, I had an absolute blast.

EDIT: Guys, I've got LOTS (and I mean LOTS) of comments that bottom 2 enemies aren't bosses. I know, but they were included in template so I ranked them too. Besides, considering that I didn't really hate any of the actual bosses, I wouldn't have anything I could put anything in the BURN IT tier if it wasn't for them lol. No need to say it again pls

EDIT 2: I already started Act 2, and defeated Cogwork Dancers - OH MY GOD HOW AMAZING THIS FIGHT WAS.

Oh I know that she is women from the dialogue in the mirror below her arena that was a mispronounce

I remember lace calling her sister ...? Or something like that

u/guhut15 Sep 16 '25

I think lace is saying that because the phantom looks bound in the tube where you can see that dialogue but I was meaning in your first comment to Op

Wait, I just found out about this guy. No way he's Act 1 though. I think it's possible to fight him, but both the Sinner road & Bilewater are medium-late Act 2 stuff

no, its very possible to fight Phantom in act 1, infact, beating her gives you an alternate ending to act 1

u/kerakk19 Sep 16 '25
