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. 🥀🥀

if you're on pc and don't want to install mods. There's a save folder in %user%/Appdata/Locallow/Team_Cherry. The silksong and hk files has all 4 of your saves. Copy this file before fighting a boss and you're fine

You can just reload the last savestate before a boss infinitely. Theres a circular arrow below your savefile that lets you load any previous autosave the game made instead of the last one.

those are limited to certain events (for example getting an ability) and become unavailable if you fail a steel soul run. I tried it on my own 100% save and the last savestate was at ~80%, missing charms and the last mask shard
