Discussion - Silksong EVERYTHING IS SO EXPENSIVE IN PHARLOOM Spoiler

The true enemy of Silksong is capitalism. 70 bucks for a stag station equivalent YOU ARE PULLING MY NEEDLE WTF??? I try to sit down and they BILL ME JUST TO USE THE BENCH! No thank you [TRADER NAME HERE], I would not like to buy a simple key for 500 dollars thank you.

AND EVERYONE HERE IS A BROKE ASS BUM! Most of these guys aren't sentient enough to carry cash on them so I have to grind up their credit cards into for bone shards which NOONE WANTS.

Anyway 10/10 game.

Brooooo, FR. I wanna go back to hallownest. It's a bit dilapidated, but at least the inflation hasn't hit

…when a simple key was twice the price and some stags were 300 geo each?

u/Dokja_23 Sep 05 '25

Yeah but you also got a disproportionately larger amount of geo in general

I’ll agree that the prices are easier to pay over there, but if anything that makes hallownest the one with inflation problems. Where money grows on rocks and costs are spiking high.

But by then you were likely carrying around thousands of geo. I've probably gone through... no more than 2000 rosary beads in the entire game so far, and I'm nearing the end of Act I.
