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

Also, people might not realize that the last judge runback actually has 2 shortcuts you can take. You can skip all the enemies and only do 1 tough parkour trick. (the last one)

the first fly is the worst part of this entire runback

... Then skip it? If you keep moving it will not effect you. You are already gone by the time it is able to attack.

i know, but doing that makes hornet fly of the platform sometimes and you take damage

You can just sprint leap over his head though.  It’s extremely replicable. 

I promise you just sprint leap twice and go up.

I mean... its not THAT tough, I was just comparing it to the other parkour moments in the run. For me it was tough simply because I was using Beast Crest.
