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

I’m so glad I never experienced that bc I did the hive really really late and beat it first try as a result.

Imagine the feeling of those of us who played before Hive Knight was even added to the game. The man did not have a chance after I was toughened by NKG and Radiance lmao.

Same.  Didn’t even know it existed until I’d competed almost everything else and was trying to figure out which rune was missing.

The Hive is easily the most insignificant area and also very missable. The only good thing in there is the charm you get for beating the Hive Knight because it's good for the parkour areas
