How I Finally Skipped Silksong’s Infuriating Groal the Great Fight

Let me paint you a picture. It’s 2 AM. My neighbors are probably drafting a noise complaint. I’ve just died to Groal the Great for the thirty-seventh time. You know the drill – that sinking feeling as Hornet gets clipped by a half-off-screen lunge, the slow-motion horror of watching the Muckmaggot poison tick your health into oblivion, the arena itself conspiring against you with collapsing platforms and zero safe footing. I’m convinced this boss wasn’t designed; it was summoned from the collective rage of every Bilewater survivor. And then, like a silk-wrapped gift from the Pale King himself, the internet delivered: a genuine, no-asterisk skip that turns the entire encounter into a joke. No, I’m not talking about the usual “hide in the water and pray” nonsense. I mean a way to waltz past the door, grab the Seeker’s Soul, and never swat a single Muckmaggot. If you’re still banging your head against that grotesque wall, let me tell you about the Voltvessel.

Before we get into the juicy, boss-bypassing goodness, let’s all agree on one thing: Groal the Great is a war crime. Team Cherry gave us gems like Widow and the Cogwork Dancers, fights that feel like a lethal ballet. Then there are the swear-inducing heavyweights – Savage Beastfly, Seth, The Last Judge, and the eternal pain that is Moorwing. But Groal? He takes the already-infuriating poison-and-puke mechanics of Bilewater, the persistent Muckmaggot swarm, and stuffs them into an arena that actively hates you. The floor? Optional. The movement space? A cruel joke. The advice veterans dish out – “just hide in the water, eat the poison, and chip away” – is basically an admission that fighting him fairly is a miserable, twenty-minute exercise in masochism. And honestly, if a boss refuses to play by the rules, why should we?
