I read over a list of all the bosses in the first Darksiders before I played the game. The only one that particularly interested me was Tiamat, and I took very little notice of Silitha because, well, I wrote her off as just another giant spider. This opinion carried all the way through my journey through the Iron Canopy, which I didn't find particularly impressive as a dungeon. But when I actually fought Silitha, my opinion about her changed a lot.
Like I said, I expected a pretty stereotypical spider boss. Something you'd expect from a giant spider. Crawling on walls, trapping with webs, spitting poison. Those kinds of things. I didn't expect her to be a teleporting maniac. :bleh:
Silitha's visual design isn't exactly unique, but that's true of a lot of the designs in the game. Regardless, her fight is one of the more inspired ones in the game, and was the first one to really catch my interest since the fight against Tiamat. The fight was short, but it was intense fighting Silitha as she blinked around the room, giving you little time to latch onto her with the Abyssal Chain before she fell on top of you or did some other attack. I thought it was a really neat battle given how easily it could have been generic.
I just think Silitha specifically could use a little love, especially since I don't see rapidly-teleporting spider queens... ever, actually.
What did you guys think of Silitha and her dungeon?
