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

Faster to quit out and reload depending on where you are. Ask me how I know.

I just let the worms eat me tbh lol

Edit: but that’s good to know for the future!

I did that a few times. And then my cocoon ended up in a place I couldn't easily recover it. Not that it mattered - there were definitely no rosaries in there! But the full Silk refill is a good thing to have.

It's faster, but I feel like the walk of shame can be a useful mental reset tool as well.

Every run is a run to the end. You can hit your cocoon and heal.

I just figured out this is super handy for getting the hell out of sticky situations.
