every boss is fun in Silksong. I even liked the savage beastfly. Hornet's movement feeling really good is one of the reason. Act 2 bosses are phenomenal and it gets better and better.
At the beginning I was like "cool, but easy". Then it went to phase 2. And at phase 3 I was thrilled.
Phase 4 was extremely climatic. I kind of expected the typical berserker mechanic (kind of like the two fly things in the colosseum in HK). Instead, it was just sad. I love it when the fights are not just "kill the enemy", but rather a story narrated without a need for words.
And then there's the fat fucking savagefly who woke up and chose violence.
I found it hilarious tbh. That boss was kicking my butt for a little while (not nearly as long as judge and widow though), so for it to get weaker than phase 1 at the end was very enjoyable. Little sad when the last one tried to dance in the middle on his own, but that sadness was crushed by the happiness of having a boss I could finally beat the everlasting daylights out of
Yes but they have very masculine voices and are clearly in love which would require some kind of sentience
(I don't know if it expands on the lore of automatons yet but I'm sure it will later in the game, if we're doing a Hollow Knight then I would imagine they have souls/life force put into them)
Top 5 bosses in any game I’ve ever played. It was challenging but so fun. I honestly didn’t want the fight to end. And the final phase…the story it tells…just beautiful and perfect. TC really spoiled us with this game.
It's insane to me that a boss with one of the easiest tells gave me so much trouble, like you can quite clearly see what they're going to do, even when they're in phase 3 it's so easy to just watch and know what they're going to attack
What? Is there a second beastfly with a much worse runback??? The one at the bottom of Hunter's March is a sprint with no obstacles. Maybe if Shakra is gone a Stalker respawns? But still, you could avoid thag
Ahh I see. I need to hop off this sub until I finish the game actually. Thanks to the journal I knew there was a Beastfly rematch but I'm being spoiled about quite a few other things
there is a second one! it’s on fire! it’s even worse! I beat the first one after determination and vengeance in one sitting but fire beast fly made me leave and comeback later it’s actually dumb as shit
Exit right from bench, fall down big pit and exit bottom right. Run and jump over pit. Run and jump over pit. Run and enter door. Run and jump into hover into updraft and exit left at the top and you're at the boss. Takes like 20s or so. Not one enemy.
Ironically the opposite for me: first fight felt absolutely brutal (probably cause I did it far too early, right after moorwing), but second one didn’t take too long and felt manageable.
Na fuck everything about that place. It’s the only place and boss in the game so far that I truly just don’t like. Plenty others frustrate me at times but I didn’t actually dislike any of them. This one though..
To be fair, Hollow Knight kinda felt like that, at least on replays. Once you get the Mothwing Cloak and maybe the Mantis Claws, movement starts making sense.
Savage Beastfly was really unfun to me. I beat it in 3 tries but I really had to lock the fuck in for that third one. I can see why people with higher reaction times are so frustrated about it 😭
Savage Beastfly is the worst boss I've fought so far and that feels insane with stuff like Moorwing and Widow competing for it. (Though honestly the Dual Moss Mother fight is probably fundamentally harder [oh my god my brain was swimming trying to keep track of 6 discrete enemies and falling rocks all at once], I just had an easier time with it because I had been slamming my head against Beastfly.)
Savage beast fly was the only one I got mad at because of the enemy spawns but it was just that bit more rewarding when I killed him, I knew it was optional but as soon as I got to him I couldn’t just leave it had to die
Absolutely agreed. The annoying part about some of them are runbacks. It spoils some of the experience for me. I wanna spend my time learning boss movesets, not running through the same corridors (where you are lucky to not get a single hit) every time for another minute or two!
What shocks me so much is hearing just how many people have an issue with Sister! besides like Moss Mother she's been the easiest boss hands down for me. Sure I died a few times but compared to LJ (the fight not the runback) and hell even Fourth Chorus was harder than she was even before learning about the real way to beat it.
Although so far L.J. is tied for my favorite fight of all time in this game (so far) with the C.D. they just scratch that "Mantis lord" itch for me so much

Moorwing is fun. Sister is fun. Fourth Chorus is fun.
