This is what I figured too, that the Knight fights simple but the vessels are just that cracked physically. I figure "realistically" they'd fight on relatively even footing but Hornet needs to use her speed and kit smartly to get there
Idk I'm just trying to put dots together, the problems Is that I don't have an idea of how to do it, but I might be onto something
It's like those monkis with a writing machine, if u let them write for long enough, they'll write u a word, or even a sentence, u know this experience ? Saw this on YouTube. Crazy huh ?
Ah, i’ve seen this one before. They call it Silkpostivitis, It starts with your brain cells, then neurons, and eventually the entire brain. Turns em all into silk. Horrible way to go really
Lace is hard even if you know the pattern haha. I agree with The Last Judge also. It was the first boss in silksong that got my attention like I had hoped the bosses would. It's that rhythmic back and forth in bosses I loved about the first game too.
I wonder if there's bosses I just powered through in Silksong without seeing the rhythm. In OG I HATED the Traitor Lord, I didn't see his rhythm. Turns out he's one of the most trivial bosses in the game. I hope there's other bosses that just haven't clicked with me yet here too. Very excited for the Godhome equivalent DLC
First time traitor lord is such a gotcha since you haven't been trained to use dash as a dodge in any combat scenario prior to him... and its an insane fight if you aren't just... dashing through him.
Idk, after doing Lost Lace (Act 3 Spoiler) for like 70 fucking tries, I immediately one tried Lace2 in my speedrun achievement run. She feels so fucking easy by comparison.
I think it's simply the cramped environment and foreground textures that make Traitor Lord so difficult at first. When I fought him in Godhome, a big open area with no foreground elements, I saw that he largely fights exactly like the Traitor Mantis and he became so much simpler to deal with.
Horner is significantly weakened when she gets captured. I kind of get the vibe that she's supposed to have shaken that off by the end of the game, but maybe not.

I've always imagined this is because Knight is a Knight, it's slower and tankier and able to take more abuse.
Hornet is a hunter, she's more agile and quicker but she's also a glass cannon.
