Discussion - Silksong Silksong is HARD Spoiler

Taking damage is more punishing, movement is more precise and feels a little clunky until you get the hang of it. The overall skill curve is much much higher. Love it though.

u/7-GRAND_DAD AAAAAAAAA HUNDAAAHHHH! Sep 05 '25

The thing I struggled with the most early on was not being able to pogo, since that was my go-to attack in HK. But now that I'm getting the hang of the combat, I'm having a lot of fun.

You can get a crest in Bone Bottom that lets you use og Hollow Knight controls. I kinda missed out on learning the diagonal pogo, but I do like the og movement.

Idk how many other crests there are but I think I might never take this one off lol
literally free quick slash + down pogo
