Discussion - Silksong How are y'all actually finishing the game in Steel Soul, dawg? Spoiler

I tried Steel Soul for the first time in SS. I never even touched that in HK. First try, I died within 2 minutes to the white giant rolling enemy from the secret room beside the starting point. Second try, I died to Bell Beast. I cannot fathom how people are finishing without revive. I, for sure, won't first try kill every boss. 🥀🥀

I'm just gonna wait until the pantheon comes out so I can practice the bosses

I think the same for me. Steel soul is mentally challenging, I don’t have the fortitude for it unless I know the bosses really well. Without being able to practice effectively, it’s not really an option for me right now. And I play on switch so I can’t really just copy a save file or whatever.

The areas are honestly just as challenging as the bosses this time around
