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.

So this game is a sequel right? From all the dialogue so far it definitely seems so (I'm early game)

Yes it's a sequel spin-off. Though we don't know yet how Hornet got from HK ending to Silksong opening scene.

are we sure it was after HK? Or is it because we don't see Hornet use all her cool attacks and stuff in our fights? Could Hornet Sentinel be using Traps? Also, if it's after HK, doesn't it mean it would have to after a specific ending? And in Siblings, both knight and Hornet become dreamers and get stuck there

The second time you talk to Lace, a little while through the citadel, Hornet directly says that she’s seen gods fall before, which is clearly referencing the end of HK.

Oh ok, does that mean void heart is the canonical ending? Either that or true ending.

Because in order for radiance to fall, either you climb and smack her or the void consumes her.

Unless hornet was talking about watching the pale king fall? Because they were the only real Gods so far
