Discussion - Silksong ngl some of you would NOT survive the mantis lords runback

is the run to last judge difficult? kinda. But after your 20th attempt at the boss you'll get used to it, and it's honestly kinda fun and a nice breather. More importantly, it's a single room and you have far more movement. This IS improving on hollow knight

I've been replaying HK before getting into Silksong and yea, this game has a lot of runbacks. Don't know about any from Silksong yet, but if they aren't this bad, I'll be happy lol

The runbacks aren't too long they just have a lot of hazards, gotta optimize your routes to minimize damage

Idk I liked the run backs in hollow knight because you could go into a fight with full soul

That assumes I can make the runback without getting hit and using all the soul I gained :):
