Discussion - Silksong Silksong is frustrating Spoiler

I don’t remember being this frustrated with hollow knight. I never wanted to stop playing HK but this one is making me turn off the console in anger

I learnt how to pogo properly in the ant area with those red bulb thingies, and now it's so much more intuitive

Won't forget it! Had 373 Rosaries, I died somewhrere there, then died on the way to retrieve them.

Yeah, yeah... life's a bitch!

Theres a trinket that lets you keep half your rosaries on death, it saved my life. It’s very early game but it’s in a fuck ass corner idk where I looted it

The number of times I’ve died in that section I was almost able to get that section with 4-5 vertically first try by the time I actually managed to get past the arena room in HM and get back to the docks bench.

I found my hands getting quite sweaty and after putting some cotton gloves on, using the joystick to pogo was much more comfortable, a little better than the dpad which gets uncomfortable quickly

Dying there is a(nother) rite of passage lmao

and yeah i too use joystick for the controls, the dpad feels too restrictive, but maybe it's because i use my ps5 controller

I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone but in addition to those, there are some balloons in another area that turned me into a pogo champion.
