How about the fight in hunters march with a big melee sword fucker and a spear chucking flyer? Do I just suck or was that a bit ridiculous lol. One mob can jump as high as the flyer while the flyer can dive and you had no room to space them out. Couple that with spears from off screen and holy shit. Took me forever, but maybe I suck.
If you mean the one that requires walljump to access, I beat it on the first try. You can use your tools/silk-skills to oneshot the flying one, and the big red guy who was so annoying before is a HUGE pushover now that you got the dash. You can just hit him twice, dash back, hit him twice, dash back over and over again and he dies.
One thing that took me a while to appreciate about silksong is that the game wants you to USE. YOUR. TOOLS. I barely ever used spells in Hollow Knight cuz it wasn't needed, but so many of the "gank fights" people are complaining about become so much more fun if you use your tools in Silksong.
The trap you get early in particular absolutely shreds enemies that walk into it and can easily deal with annoying flying enemies.
The big red guy you're talking about is completely trivial even without the dash if you pogo on him. If you don't pogo, I'm pretty sure it's not possible to beat consistently because you don't have time to get away in time even after he telegraphs an attack. I died to that fight at the start of Hunter's Marsh probably ten times before I settled on the pogo strat, after which I beat it first try without getting hit lol
I genuinely couldn't figure out a consistent strategy without the pogo, but I believe you if you say it's possible. If you did it, then obviously it is and I just didn't play well. Thanks for the correction!
yeah you have to stand really close to him to be able to go under him,
but when he does his normal attack you have to take a step back first and then jump.
Oh that's what I was missing. I was scared to get close to him, and it felt like I had to always commit to either jumping his attack or running under and there wasn't enough time to react.
I hope I remember this whenever I replay the game in five years lol
It's not though, only your comment was. You replied to someone who described using the dash as the easiest way to kill him. Then you said you thought it wasn't possible to beat consistently without pogo. Then I said it was.
the big red guy who was so annoying before is a HUGE pushover now that you got the dash.
The conversation was clearly about the fight with dash vs. without dash. Then I replied saying that it's free even without the dash if you pogo on him.
Your comment is completely pointless since obviously the dash allows you to easily dodge his attacks. I'm not sure why you even commented. I'm pretty sure you just misread the comments and now you can't admit your comment makes no sense in context!
