As for the upgrades, it is up to you, as it makes your character stronger in-game, but to fight this enemy, you’ll need some patience and practice.
Silksong Moorwing: How to beat and defeat it?
There are in total 4 to 5 main attacks and their slight variations that this enemy can do. One is a dive attack in which it flies close to the ground and tries to ram into the player. This can be easily dodged by jumping, and you can also do a follow-up move by diving and hitting Moorwing mid-air.
It uses its claws to unleash a rotating saw that travels on the ground. Initially, there’s only one saw that travels in a straight line, but later there will be two, which will sometimes curve upwards from the ground and come back at the player like a boomerang. The best option is to observe its trajectory and be quick to dodge. The movement of the saws is quite predictable, and you can easily avoid them if you pay attention.
Next is the move where it uses its claws mid-air in a haphazard movement, trying to slash you. This has a small radius and is only done to keep the player from approaching Moorwing. The simple trick is to wait for him to finish this move, then approach and attack. You will get the hint when it’s about to do this move, as he will pull his head backward before the attack.
Conclusion
It will use all these attacks and their combinations, such as doing a dive attack and then immediately following up with the rotating saw. There’s the regular screaming that does not deal any damage whatsoever. When he gets knocked out, you’ll have a small window of opportunity to hit him continuously. Note that for every attack you take, it will deplete your health by 2 points, so you have to take the opportunity to heal mid-battle. For this, you will have to use silk and ensure that your silk meter is not depleted. Once you have these basics clear, defeating Moorwing will only require slow, consistent efforts. If you try to rush in, you might get caught up in the frenzy of attacks, so sharpen your senses before moving close. We have shared a YouTube video for your reference.
