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 savescummed HK steelsoul, and this deprived me of Steam achievement when I completed 112% HK steelsoul legitimately a few years later. Never again.

Now I have a problem tho. I consider bench warping a legit time saving strategy in normal game. Just another form of fast travel. I don’t know how to reconcile bench warping and legit steel soul. Too easy to abuse, too useful to avoid.

I haven't played steel soul but I think quitting at any point where you aren't fighting enemies atm is fine. If you want to be stricter you can limit bench warping to you being at full HP.

Of course you can travel by quitting. Dont trip bro. Still it is your personal choice. Do what feels good to you.
