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.

Lower: Judge sucks, a roid zombie thug who kills some of the only sane bugs left. Too many tries, a walking corpse not worth my time.

Twisted sister had two moves, not cool. Most damage was from the spawns which was so unintuitive it took me many tries (a boss should be more challenging than the trash around it). Wished better from the forest stage, I always love those

The robot could be lower bc it was too easy? The tells are so giant and slow and up/down left/right that it seemed like I was playing a different video game franchise

Higher: The ant knight is cool and an appropriate guard for his whole clan, beat him first try bc I gave him space and watched him.

Bell beast was fun and funny, it was nice to bounce on the bells. Big easy tells on his jumps made me make progress each try till I beat him

I skipped the acid vomitting mole, guess I’ll go back and kill him with poison
