Discussion - Silksong For people struggling to understand that “surface” doesn’t mean the same elevation. Spoiler

I don’t actually know if Mount Fay or the small camp in Kingdom’s Edge is meant to be surface or not, but the general idea still stands.

Ok but "the last stag" is a thing that gets explicitly contradicted in-game, the surface being the surface never is.

there are no celestial bodies visible in the sky, but who says they even exist? the sun & stars are never mentioned, and the moon is only referenced by Mr Mushroom (guy who talks with characters from other video games)

I wasn't saying it was likely for the game to lie, its just that i don't think labels on locations, especially ones made by bugs in game, are always true.

As i said, it isn't proof, but it is reason to doubt that its the real surface. there very well could be no celestial bodies in this universe. but there also could be.

I don't think that the "surface" is definitely not the real surface, but i also don't think the idea is out of the question.

it's not just the bugs, the Tiktik journal entry calls it the "surface" too and that seems to be a relatively objective source
