re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Thread

It seems to be about twice the size as the original. I think I counted 30 areas while the original has 15, so pretty much on point.

Widow was the hardest and best boss thus far. Really good challenge

But with everything this game brings, absolute kudos to the game creators. They could have easily charged $30 or $40 and people would have paid for it. It’s insane this game was only an Andrew Jackson. Nintendo and Microsoft would have sold it for $60.

Seen the video of the actual final boss… there’s no way in hell I’m going to be beating it. Makes the Radiance look like an absolute cakewalk. If you’re able to beat it, the achievement unlocked should be “Eternal Virgin.”

I’m getting close to endgame and I can say with 100% certainty that a sizable portion of the player base will not be capable of completing the game in its current state

I never thought I would play a metroidvania harder than Aeterna Noctis, but this takes the cake

There are some absolutely brutal bosses with some of the worst runbacks imaginable. The Bilewater boss + its associated runback is one of the most egregious, mean-spirited game dev choices I’ve ever seen. There are some absolutely vicious precision platforming segments as well that top Path of Pain…but they aren’t optional like PoP was lol

I’m just saying it looks like the single most difficult boss fight I’ve ever seen. They really need to release an easy mode and put almost all the enemies to a one mask damage rather than two, with some exceptions of course.

And the only reason I could beat that was the Hiveblood and Grubworm charms. Took me forever, but could only manage it with those two.

Did you find the hidden bench that makes the runback a little less awful?

and gives you the slug debuff? Yeah

I struggled so much with the sister boss but then blew past the widow boss after a few deaths

I think I’ve figured out the pattern to the sister boss and if weren’t for those flying things she summons I would have definitely beaten her by now. Died maybe six times to her but will start back up soon.

It's always awesome that these types of games show how people react differently to certain bosses. I struggled so much with the sister boss but then blew past the widow boss after a few deaths. Game has been very good and I haven't hit any "unfair" parts but I know I'm still early!

Got Sister on first try, Widow was the first that took me multiple attempts

Just wait till you reach the citadel lol

laiaiaiaiaiiiiii......oooooosh ka lohhhhhhh
