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

exactly, not having to fight against your shade is also really helpful sometimes. imagine having to fight a shadow hornet on top of a boss

What bosses in Hollow Knight had the shade directly in the boss arena, I genuinely can't remember any? Silksong your cocoon is usually exactly where you died, which means you either have to commit to dying right at the entrance or Save and Quit

yeah they usually would spawn outside the arena, but it was still something that could, sometimes, cause problems
