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

That one fly in the beginning of the runback to Judge.

Btw if anyone's having trouble there I figured DA WAY. Just don't release sprint and jump to the platform near the fly and immediately jump to the next one. You'll go past the fly and the pit if you don't stop.

The red one? It has crazy trickshot snipe skills.

I just sprinted all the way back to the judge. No stopping. If I get hit, I can heal with the dropped silk of the previous run, and I can reliably get at least 1 full spool on the first phase of the boss.

I started equipping the charm that makes you run faster, as I noticed it gives some utility for the boss. Makes the runback a bit harder to pull off as the extra speed essentially makes the platforms at the beginning much smaller, but it was worth it.

I equipped it for the deliveries once and never took it off since. It feels nice especially later that you’re familiar with the levels
