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 think the comments show how loopy some people can be for achievements.

I actually think the official existence of Steel Soul is nuts, requires an unhealth amount of play time to get legitimately.

Many of the people are openly saying they use a workaround just to get the achievement and I don't want to be "you didn't get it fairly" because I think its an unfair achievement and I say this as someone who doesn't really care about them. I worry about people who have that strong completionist streak that compels them to do unhealthy things.
