What is your advice on trying to beat Silksong's late-game bosses?
Keep at it.
Keep at it.
Just saying.
I have hundreds, I had hundreds of hours in the first Hollow Knight and even I felt, even I felt the the daunting mountain of like Silksong.
Is this game just like too, actually too hard for me?
Carmelita to a certain degree, the final boss whose name I won't spoil.
There was a third, a couple of enemy gauntlets, let's not forget about that, screw the bosses man, the real devil is the enemy gauntlets in that game.
And even exploration, I was like, am I actually just shit at the game?
No.
Just turns out that Team Cherry absolutely had a certain design vision in mind, I agree with their vision, and even though the mountain felt gigadontic to me at first, perseverance.
Perseverance, and if you want more concrete stuff, I would highly recommend runs of bosses where you don't press the attack or ability, any button, except for move and jump, even once.
Just move and jump and sprint and dodge.
And just look at the boss.
don't fuzz about damage until you like have to damage them enough to see the new faces and then again just learn patterns and learn patterns it's incredible how much more brain power you can use spend to learn boss patterns when you are not obsessing over your own damage that's the one thing
uh
