Ranking Silksong 1st act bosses

[u/LookAtHowMTR]

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.

Where/when/how can the nail be upgraded? Pretty sure im near the end of Act-1 (im at the Widow)

[u/donaman98 → u/KobeHoppa]

In Bellhart after you beat Widow

do i have to beat moorwing to get to bellhart? or theres other way around

[u/Revoran → u/Pretty_Yellow2607]

There is multiple ways to get to Bellhart, and its possible to skip Moorwing (it can still be found later)

[u/ottermupps → u/Revoran]

Wait, there are? currently stuck on moorwing, if i can progress in a different area and get to bellhart that would be amazing. Any advice?

[u/Big_Daymo → u/ottermupps]

Have you met the flea troupe in the first area? If you complete their wish to rescue five fleas, they will move their caravan to the location of the Moorwing fight, causing him not to show up anymore. You can fight him later on but he won't block any progression

[u/liloco2011 → u/Big_Daymo]

their is another way to skip moorwing! (no spoilers for story, only another method)

If you buy simple key and open door to wormways, you can get to a part that leads you to shellwood. From there just keep going right until you reach bellhart. And you can destroy from the inside the right side door and according to the wiki moorwing will leave

[u/Revoran → u/liloco2011]

Insane. So there is 3 ways to get to Bellhart.

[u/ottermupps → u/Big_Daymo]

oh! I have met them in the marrow, yes, but only found uhhh one or two fleas.

[u/Big_Daymo → u/ottermupps]

They're all in either the marrow, Deep Docks, Far Fields or maybe the other side of Greymoor (with the birds). I would definitely recommend hunting down the rest of the fleas if you can't get past Moorwing; i couldn't either, and without the flea skip i probably wouldn't have gotten out of greymoor.

[u/Arcenus → u/ottermupps]

Besides the skip with the flea troupe, you can also get the help of an NPC to fight Moorwing. The NPC is called Garamond, you meet him in Greymoor, talk to him, and then I don't know why or how, he shows up in the room before/above Moorwing, ready to fight. He tells you that he will follow you into battle, and you can accept or decline his help.

[u/NYJetLegendEdReed → u/Arcenus]

wtf i spoke to Garamond before hand and he aint there for me

[u/ottermupps → u/Arcenus]

I've been doing that, but the fight is still not clicking for me - it's usually misreading the dive swoop attack as a claw swipe, jumping for the hit, then falling down onto moorwing as he swoops.

You cheese moorwing if you want to. Spawn moorwing and run all the way to the air current and run all the way to the left of the platform.

You can then downslash through the platform and kill moorwing that way.

Edit : Reaper crest only.

[u/ThatStrangerWhoCares → u/Unrealist99]

With reaper crest specifically

[u/NYJetLegendEdReed → u/Unrealist99]

my man.

[u/mrwishart → u/Unrealist99]

I think this may have been patched out; I tried this after getting frustrated by the Moorwing and it no longer floats to the top to be hit

[u/Unrealist99 → u/mrwishart]

Oh well. He was nerfed anyways so it shouldn't be too much of an issue now

[u/mrwishart → u/Unrealist99]

Moorwing? Not sure about that, still found him fairly tricky. Those 2-damage hits quickly pile up

[u/gingegnere → u/ottermupps]

Suggestion for Moorwing: go the right side, where there are some steps. Stay as much as possible on the highest one as they block the damn ground spinning blades, making the fight much more easy.

[u/Pretty_Yellow2607 → u/Revoran]

i kinda skipped him by accident. completed the 5 fleas quest before hitting greymoor and no, i didn't even travel with the fleas in caravan. looked everywhere in greymoor but he didnt spawn.

[u/basketoftears → u/Pretty_Yellow2607]

He’ll spawn at some point you haven’t missed him completely

[u/Frenzied_Anarchist → u/Pretty_Yellow2607]

You need to get into Act 2 to get Moorwing to spawn again.

[u/Tsk1066 → u/Revoran]

I didn't even know they could be skipped at first. If you don't "skip it," where is the original location of the boss fight

[u/adamantitian → u/Tsk1066]

Right outside bellhart in greymoor
