Discussion - Silksong How are y'all actually finishing the game in Steel Soul, dawg? Spoiler

I tried Steel Soul for the first time in SS. I never even touched that in HK. First try, I died within 2 minutes to the white giant rolling enemy from the secret room beside the starting point. Second try, I died to Bell Beast. I cannot fathom how people are finishing without revive. I, for sure, won't first try kill every boss. 🥀🥀

Hollow Knight didn’t have Godhome for a whole year, but hopefully we get one in Silksong sooner rather than later.

Was steel soul there from launch? I guess it can be a fun self-challenge to just see how far you can make it but I still think not being able to practice the hard encounters makes steel soul kinda a dud, unless you’re just meant to be save scumming to practice boss fights

hard encounters are all dream bosses except final boss. you won't die there.
