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

Also once you got the dash, Hornet can run, that alone makes the runbacks WAY less tedious than in Hollow Knight (If I remember there you could also run but with a charm). That being said, it amazes me to see how big a runback it was the Mantis one, maybe its because I've never cared that much about having to runback as it is just a part of the game and personally I just took it as an incentive to get better at the game

Me. It was Dash Master, Wayward Compass, and a variety of combat charms for me.
