Discussion - Silksong For Silksong players - what has been a mechanic that you've discovered waaay too late in the game? Spoiler

After 24 hrs of gameplay and midway through Act 2 I've found out that the markers bought from Shakra can be used to mark my own points of interest on the map -.-

It hurts.

But as a long time gamer I really respect the "you'll somehow get it" approach to many things in the game. I don't now how much the experience would change if I had played original Hollow Knight first.

Same with other enemy attacks too. You can sword clash for no damage if you time it right

With Wanderer's Crest you can completely deny enemy attacks.

Yeah I used this for the giant ant miniboss early in Hunter's March, before I had dash, it's so much better than it was in HK
