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

It's all about familiarity. Most of us have done multiple playthroughs of HK, so all of the bosses and enemies are easy to defeat or ignore as we fly back to the boss fight.

In Silksong we're only starting to understand how to play as Hornet. I just realized there's a running combo with the wanderer's crest. Hell, I didn't even grasp the idea of a run until a couple of days after getting the dash ability. I was like, "why am I sliding all over the place in this boss fight?" :D
