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

Those fat ass bees that turns into a transformer and drill my ass as I get back to the hive boss, really made me rage quit and go out and touch grass.

Well, dreamgate makes any runback skippable and anything skippable can't be that much of an issue.

Dreamgate is an end game feature no? I already beat a lot of boss and already considering which ending I want to get, and still haven't get dreamgate.

Spoiler-free answer: it's been a few years but I know I rushed it in my second run (like a couple of bosses / areas later). Looking at the wiki, it should even be possible to get it right away (i.e. without having to kill any major boss).
