metroidvanias are not for everyone, HK and Silk are like metroidvanias mixed with souls games

Still getting my arse handed to me by Moorwing and the gauntlet of little bastard ants inside Hunters March. Looks like without the wall climbing ability I’ll need to do one of those before I can progress anywhere else 😭

if you want a serious tip for moorwing..read the spoiler..you'll beat it first time
once you have angered it, go back up the gust of wind thing and you can jump and downward hit it to kill it, it cant get to you or hurt you
but the horrors that await you after that arent making the game any easier

Ah nice one! Got past the gauntlet in Hunters March going the other way, so more options now, but none of it is good for my blood pressure 🤣

I get that - an hour tops is enough!

yeah, something like that for me as well, the "one more go" factor of this game is insane, its like, this bit of the game is not going to fucking beat me tonight, not on my watch....then this

Really hitting a brick wall with this at the moment. The runback for the final boss of Act 1 is just ridiculous.
I know that with a little patience I could beat them, as their attack pattterns don’t seem that bad, but have no desire to endure a difficult 2-3 minute runback where you regularly lose half your health before getting there. I see that PC modders have implemented a ‘Stake of Marika’ setup like Elden Ring, where it dumps you back at the room before the boss - that would be a godsend at this point

Now beaten it after 3 hours 😂
The patch is now live - seems like they’ve tweaked a fair amount of stuff they haven’t listed in the patch notes - seems like most of the small enemies are now doing only 1 mask of damage.
Also noticed that one really awkwardly placed enemy has been removed altogether from the above mentioned runback, making it much less frustrating

which boss was that?

The Last Judge. Looks like there is an alternative route to get to Act 2, but this one seemed like the lesser of two evils 😆

oh, i'm not up to that yet, i've stopped moving forwards and have gone back now i have the wall climb to unlock all parts of the map i previously couldn't get to
i didnt have fun with the sister boss though, she was easy, it was the little spawny fuckers that killed me every single time, maybe 2-3 hours on that one for me, plus i didnt realise i could get the lift up, so was traversing the map for about 5 minutes to get to her each time
the sense of relief when you do beat them though is great

Yeah the mobs that the bosses spawn have been the problem with pretty much every boss so far!
Patch has made such a difference though. Enjoying it much more now as you’re not as hesitant to explore in fear of getting mashed

Maybe we’ll stop moaning about it so much now 😆
I am on that Last Judge now, that second phase with the flames, owww! Tried it 3 times and gave in to tiredness. Really enjoying the game though, feeling even more 'souls' like than HK, also gives my hands a workout, getting aches and pains, maybe I am just getting old..!

I found this out too late, but apparently if you have the Magma Bell tool equipped that stops any extra damage being inflicted in that annoying second phase 👍
