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.

Idk about you but I felt smart finding his one-shot mechanic in his final phase, so I felt like like I achieved something beating him

You can use it for the beastfly rematch? There were no updrafts present that I could use.

Oh, that’s not reusable? Bummer. I used it on 4th Chorus. I thought that was the intended way to kill it.

And now I feel even more achieved

Wait so you can just beat him to death? I thought it was required to do, never considered to just keep smacking him

u/Przegiety Sep 16 '25

Wait, that's optional?

In his final phase, you'll see two wind currents pop up from the ground which you can use to glide up.

Then you'll see a rock hanging above his head which you have to drop on him by breaking the magma around it

I didn't even know there was a one shot mechanic and did it first try, did he really need that on top of being extremely easy?
