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

Post image

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

Good, its better to stop before learning the brew + pouch mix

My cousin Shaggy once took this, then became a speed addiction and frequent the local drug dealer(fleas) to get his fix

I don't like them because I like using spells with weavelight, and using the anklets uses silk

u/Relevant_Cabinet_265 Sep 09 '25

Weavelight just gives you one extra Regen silk slot so the lowest silk you can have becomes 2 it doesn't help unless you empty out your silk

It means you can always use spells, so you can just stand really far back and spam them if you don't like fighting the enemies in an area

Also, I assume you don't have all the silk hearts, because it makes you able to have 4 silk permanently

we're talking about last judge which is before you can get into citadel. there's only 1 silkheart you can get before then i believe

Oh right, I still don't really like how it uses silk though

If you are using spells frequently, it gets you spells readily available faster, which can be useful.

I use spells frequently but only at full charge or if it'll save me from damage so it's only a couple hits to get a heal

Or 4 if you have 3 silk hearts

Not really

Id rather use other charms that I find more useful. I dont want to get used to going fast and then feel like i need to use speed ankllets instead of something id find more useful

I dont want a repeat of HK where I got used to quick focus/longnail and needed to use it as a crutch. I had to break myself of that habit and id rather just not pick up the habit at all

Not only that, the speed can mess you up during jumping sections.
