On Switch 2, Silksong calls,
Through trials deep and echoing halls.
This journey stretches Acts One to Three,
Not finished yet\u2014it still waits for me.
Thirty hours\u2014I\u2019ve pushed and run,
Eight bosses down, with thirty-nine to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I started with Moss Mother, first in line,
The opening test by careful design.
It looked so simple\u2014an easy fight,
Yet still I fell a few times to get it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moss Mother struck from low to high,
So I dodged and leapt as blows flew by.
It thrilled me facing that mossy boss,
Dodging each stone that it tried to toss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes two Moss Grubs joined the fray,
So I cleared them out, then struck away.
Rinse and repeat through grub and foe,
Till Moss Mother fell from the final blow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fall down\u2014get up\u2014fight again, don\u2019t run,
Lose today\u2014come back till the day is won.
One hand, one strike\u2014till the fight is won,
First boss down\u2014still more to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next came the Bell Beast\u2019s thunderous roar,
A ringing menace I couldn\u2019t ignore.
It swung great chimes through the air with flair,
Then slammed them down\u2014I had to beware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I dodged each strike and answered each blow,
Learning its rhythm and moving just so.
If I struck first, then the timing was mine,
If not, I waited and watched for a sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes it scattered a storm of spheres,
So I stayed alert and calmed my fears.
I weaved between them, precise and clean,
Avoiding the chaos that filled the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It charged straight forward with furious pace,
So I struck a few times, then dashed from its space.
Again and again, I repeated the play,
Until that loud beast finally gave way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fall down\u2014get up\u2014fight again, don\u2019t run,
Every loss I take just fuels what\u2019s begun.
One hand steady\u2014locked and loaded, none,
Two bosses down\u2014I\u2019m not yet done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The third boss, Lace, with Hornet-like grace,
Fast and relentless\u2014she quickened the pace.
Her movements were sharp, her pressure was real,
Each phase demanded more focus and skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She charged up slowly, then held her place,
Then burst into strikes no one could outpace.
If caught in that circle, two hits cut through,
So movement\u2019s the key in all that you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Change your direction\u2014don\u2019t stay in one lane,
Or you\u2019ll get trapped in that glowing domain.
Keep moving, stay sharp, stay ready to flee,
Or that deadly attack comes crashing on me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fall down\u2014get up\u2014fight again, don\u2019t run,
Through every mistake, I adapt and overcome.
One hand sharp\u2014every move outrun,
Three bosses down\u2014now the grind\u2019s begun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then came the fourth\u2014the Chorus of Flame,
With lava below, so no room for a game.
If I fell down, I respawned in pain,
One health was gone\u2014I had to play safe again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The boss dropped an arm, slamming heat down low,
Striking the lava with a fiery glow.
So I dashed and ran, stayed quick and stayed brave,
One wrong move there, and I would not be saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lava stones rose, giving ground to stand,
But patience was key\u2014I followed the plan.
Survive through the fire, don\u2019t rush or misplay,
Or one small mistake takes it all away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fall down\u2014get up\u2014fight again, don\u2019t run,
Heat of the fire, but I still won\u2019t come undone.
One hand strong\u2014through the flames I run,
Four bosses down\u2014I\u2019ve only just begun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chapel of the Wanderer\u2014the quest is there,
A trial ahead\u2014danger fills the air.
So many enemies stand in the way,
But I push forward\u2014I\u2019m here to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, grab the silk\u2014make sure it\u2019s full,
You\u2019ll need every thread for this fight to pull.
Then come the phases\u2014one through four,
Each one tougher than the one before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phase one starts\u2014they strike me three,
But I strike them back\u2014they fall to me.
Once they\u2019re gone, the path is clear,
I drink some silk\u2014restore, prepare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phase two begins\u2014it feels the same,
They strike again\u2014but I win the game.
Three more hits\u2014but they go down,
I stand again\u2014I hold my ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fall down\u2014get up\u2014fight again, don\u2019t run,
Through every phase, I battle till it\u2019s done.
Shift left, shift right\u2014ready to ignite,
I rise, I strike\u2014I own this fight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heal once more\u2014phase three is near,
Repeat the fight\u2014no room for fear.
This time, though, just two hits land,
I strike them down\u2014just as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another silk\u2014I brace once more,
Now comes the hardest\u2014phase four.
The enemy strikes me\u2014again, again,
But I fight back through all the pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just one remains\u2014I dodge, then strike,
Move with rhythm\u2014fast and precise.
Dodge again\u2014then land the hit,
Until it falls\u2014I finish it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One health left\u2014I barely survived,
But through it all\u2014I stayed alive.
Now I heal and claim my prize,
New power gained before my eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Attack and hold\u2014Bind is mine,
A Wanderer\u2019s strength\u2014now intertwined.
Stronger now with every fight,
I rise again for the next trial\u2019s bite!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fall down\u2014get up\u2014fight again, don\u2019t run,
Through every phase, I battle till it\u2019s done.
One hand focused\u2014every strike lands clean,
Trial complete\u2014now I\u2019m sharper than I\u2019ve ever been!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One big enemy was brutal and tough,
I died so much\u2014it felt like enough.
It smashed the ground\u2014I had to jump fast,
Then strike a few times before it struck back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I stepped away to make some space,
But missed my mark and lost my place.
Then it burrowed under the ground,
So I stayed ready for the next sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It popped back up in another spot,
So I dashed left or right and gave it all I got.
Again and again, I repeated the fight,
Trying to survive and time it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was one tight spot that trapped me bad,
The smallest mistake was all it had.
So I made sure the area stayed wide and clear,
With room to dodge when danger came near.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fall down\u2014get up\u2014back in the fight,
Through every phase, I hold on tight.
Dodge left, dodge right\u2014keep it in sight,
I rise, I strike\u2014I win this fight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Hunter\u2019s March, the trials begin,
With bounce and nail\u2014I dive right in.
If I fall, I start again,
Repeat the run, again, again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bounce and strike, then nail it down,
A few more times\u2014I hold my ground.
Enemies rise, so clear them fast,
Before I reach the next map at last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are so many\u2014it\u2019s hard to do,
So sometimes I just push on through.
Skip the fight and hope I last,
Just trying hard to make it past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the part that tests me most,
Five nail drops\u2014I can\u2019t lose focus.
One wrong move, I fall again,
Back to the start\u2014restart the pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My health is low\u2014one hit, I\u2019m falling,
Start again\u2014my strength is calling.
Even lower than before,
So every move must count for more.
Careful timing, steady aim,
Each nail drop\u2019s a risky game!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fall down\u2014get up\u2014stand tall, don\u2019t run,
Through every phase, I fight till it\u2019s done.
Lean left, lean right\u2014feel the ignite,
I rise, I strike\u2014burn through the fight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then the mini-boss begins,
No one there to help me win.
Four long phases, same routine,
But one enemy is just too mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I shoot and jump and stay alive,
Moving fast just to survive.
Until that enemy finally falls,
And quiet settles through the halls!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phase two comes\u2014it\u2019s even worse,
More enemies flood in with a burst.
Bigger than I thought they\u2019d be,
Firing wildly, endlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They shoot like maniacs\u2014no escape,
I try to dodge, but seal my fate.
And now I\u2019m stuck, I can\u2019t get through\u2026
But I\u2019ll be back\u2014I always do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fall down\u2014get up\u2014no fear, no retreat,
Through every phase, I grind till defeat.
Move left, move right\u2014timing it right,
I rise, I strike\u2014end every fight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another boss I faced was Sister Splinter,
My skills felt weaker\u2014thinner and dimmer.
Two little spawns stood blocking the way,
So I had to defeat them before I could stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Respawn again and return to the fight,
Again and again through the long game night.
I failed many times\u2014I won\u2019t pretend,
But I kept on trying again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At last the boss finally fell to the ground,
Victory music\u2014a sweet, shining sound.
But more challenges waited ahead for me,
Another tough boss I was soon to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fall down\u2014get up\u2014fight again, don\u2019t run,
Every fall I take just makes me become.
One hand ready\u2014never second to none,
Five bosses down\u2014now I\u2019m on the run!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then Skull Tyrant rose with terrifying might,
And I had to keep jumping throughout the fight.
Sometimes it slammed and shattered the ground,
So I stayed alert as rocks tumbled down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then it would charge me\u2014left or right,
So I timed every jump and stayed in the fight.
It leapt up high, then crashed back down,
While falling boulders rained all around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With danger delayed, timing was key,
So I watched every second carefully.
Stay sharp, stay ready, react on sight,
And slowly I pushed through that brutal fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fall down\u2014get up\u2014fight again, don\u2019t run,
Timing every move like a loaded gun.
One hand locked\u2014every battle won,
Six bosses down\u2014see what I\u2019ve become!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then Widow appeared, and that boss was tough,
Demanding quick movement\u2014this wasn\u2019t a bluff.
At times I would jump, then move left or right,
While shots started flying all over the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She sprinted so fast with a sudden glide,
So I kept on jumping whenever she\u2019d slide.
Each moment was tense, every second felt tight,
As I struggled to survive through the chaos of night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She dashed from both sides with a strike left or right,
So I had to react fast and stay in the fight.
In phase two, she quickened\u2014attacks everywhere,
So I stayed on my toes and dashed with great care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fall down\u2014get up\u2014fight again, don\u2019t run,
Pressure getting heavy\u2014but I won\u2019t be undone.
One hand steady\u2014still I overcome,
Seven bosses down\u2014the end\u2019s near to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then came that boss\u2014the Moss Mother again,
But this time there were two\u2014not just one friend!
The same old pattern\u2014the rocks start to fall,
While little Moss Grubs come crawling through all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second one entered in seconds\u2014so fast,
Now both of them flying\u2014I\u2019m dodging each blast!
They struck together, wild and untamed,
So I fought back hard\u2014relentless, unchained!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One finally fell, but the other survived,
So I stayed on attack\u2014kept the pressure alive!
That last one kept flying, attacking nonstop,
Throwing all that it\u2019s got\u2014I couldn\u2019t let it drop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fall down\u2014get up\u2014fight again, don\u2019t run,
Now the fights get harder\u2014this is where it\u2019s won.
One hand fierce\u2014burning like the sun,
Eight bosses down\u2014now the hard part\u2019s begun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One path ahead is Sinner\u2019s Road,
And honestly\u2026 I hate that mode.
In the swamp, if I fall to the ground,
Poison takes hold and spreads around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can\u2019t use flasks while poison remains,
So I must endure through damage and pain.
Clear it away, then heal once more,
And move with care like never before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Last Judge strikes like thunder and stone,
Two quick hits\u2014and my health is gone.
One heavy blow, then another comes through,
And suddenly, just like that\u2014the fight is through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For now I\u2019m stuck\u2014I\u2019ve taken a loss,
Not sure when I\u2019ll conquer this boss.
There\u2019s another path that I still could go,
But it brings a challenge I already know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fall down\u2014get up\u2014fight again, don\u2019t run,
Even when I\u2019m stuck\u2014I still won\u2019t come undone.
One hand fighting\u2014till the final one,
Not there yet\u2014but I won\u2019t be done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next comes the Mist, so silent and grim,
With wraiths that drift through shadows dim.
I cannot strike\u2014I must evade,
Just run and jump through traps they\u2019ve laid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through spikes and danger, I weave and climb,
And if I fall\u2014I restart each time.
Over and over, again and again,
Caught in a cycle of struggle and pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three bosses remain, their endings unclear\u2014
The Last Judge still waits, with danger near.
Great Conchflies are stuck, and one I won\u2019t share,
Another hard challenge is waiting out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though I feel stuck and I\u2019m not quite sure
If I can keep playing and still endure,
I\u2019ll push ahead, I\u2019ll face the fight,
Through every fall, I chase the light!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fall down\u2014get up\u2014fight again, don\u2019t run,
Every loss I take just proves I\u2019ve won.
One hand rising\u2014toward the final sun,
I\u2019ll finish this run\u2014I\u2019m not done!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
