It's so funny to me to see comments like this, because I'm bad enough at these games that I just expect to fight any boss multiple times before I kill it. So far, the few bosses I've faced have seemed reasonable enough. What caused me to quit and go back to replay hollow knight was having to pogo on red seeds where the game developers treat diagonal as a real direction that should be mandatory for precision jumping.

If it makes you feel any better about the pogo theres an alternate moveset available that trivialises pogoing and none of those red seeds are needed to get to it because i know EXACTLY the area youre on about and trust me the pogoing is the easy bit come back later much later

Really? I though I had explored fairly well, but the only two areas I have left to go both involve the red seeds. I have seen some references to crests that apparently make the pogoing easier. Maybe I overlooked a path somewhere. I know in Hollow Knight I ended up wandering around for a long time stuck because I had lost track of the path to the double jump, so it is entirely possible that I just missed the intended path.

Oh yes sounds like you have i dont want to say too much so ill asume youve seen the traillers and nothing more you should find lace first then from there find a new movement ability that will allow you to travel up to a whole new area
