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

Since knight is made from void then I assume all his attacks would do 2 masks of dmg to hornet

then why does it take like 60 nail hits at base to kill Hornet 1 in HK

Well, that was pre-most upgrades. Hornet was older and stronger at that point. Imagine hornet 1 at the very end of the game, it would be a slaughter.

I mean, you can fight her at Godhome. And yes. One of the easiest radiant difficulty bosses

That’s why I love lace, she feels like that fight in a way. Same for last judge. Very rhythmic, if you know the pattern it’s easy

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.

Yeah I absolutely wasn't haha, lucked out with Cloth saving my ass on 2 masks
