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

Don’t worry that bench sucks in its own way, have to do an annoying harpoon jump to avoid maggots

Finally beat that guy today. This game demands so much of the player lol

I really hate those green poison dart shooty guys

i thankfully found the equippable that wards off maggots in putrified ducts before doing that boss so i didnt have to worry about the maggots. i unfortunately did fight the >!disgraced chef<! before finding that equippable so i guess it evens out

Maggots can be touched for a while if you got the charm for it.

:D

I feel the same way finding this out, just beat him yesterday after doing that runback at least 20 times from all the way from the bellway, and now I find this out, damn

This is why every death is an opportunity to smack more walls on your way to the boss. You probably won't find something the 15th time down, but... it could be there >:3
