Hollow Knight: Silksong

Day 1 release, GOG version -- no patches. 100% completion. Been stuck on the final boss for weeks. Finally beat it. Finally. 132h30m29s by in game timer; 148h45m by Lutris (out of game) timer.

At first, coming from Hollow Knight, I really wasn't fond of the Hunter's Crest and would use the Reaper's Crest and the Wanderer's Crest for most of my playthrough, using the Architect's Crest for semi-cheesing difficult bosses.

My recent playthroughs focused on the Hunter's Crest and the Shaman's Crest and I found I really like them. The Hunter's Crest is great for fast fighting and dodging and the Shaman's Crest is great for silk regeneration together with Weavelight.

Now I really want to give the Witch and Beast Crests a thorough attempt.

It took me a dozen tries over several days but I finally got her. It was just challenging enough to be rewarding. I'm so pleased with myself lol

I can’t get the hang of the names tho tbh

Silksong is my current addiction.

After I beat the beastfly and got the reward I notices these three spikes besides my needle and mask display. When I try to heal the display gets these red streaks and I do not heal a single mask. Does anyone know, what this means and how I can solve it?

Binding multiple times or sitting at a bench does not help. Thinking of the high difficulty level I don't really want to procees without being able to heal.

As Hollow Knight: Silksong difficulty discussions continue, Team Cherry is preparing its first update to the game that will make things a little easier.

I never played Hollow Knight but I hear that Silksong is substantially more difficult? What are the major differences?

He's a fantastic composer, here's a video of him working

(he kinda cute btw goodness)

My favorite track is Moss Grotto, what about you

1. Don't promise any wishes in Bone Bottom
2. Beat the bell beast, then turn around and head left
3. Don't rest on the bench
4. Exit to the left
5. Kill the two pilgrims for rosaries - you'll be farming them
6. Head back up to the bell pit, walk all the way to the right so that the screen shifts, and take a few steps in. Don't ride the beast.
7. Head back to the two pilgrims and farm
8. This is the easiest, fastest way to farm rosaries and is completely safe

prompt: A 2D digital illustration in a side-scrolling video game style. The environment is dark, dreamlike, and cavernous, with a color palette of deep blues, purples, and teals. The scene features massive bone-like arches curving overhead, stalactites hanging from the ceiling, and a glowing misty background suggesting infinite depth. The ground is made of uneven stone platforms, with strange dream-flora and silhouettes of plants. Skulls and fossil shapes are embedded in the landscape, adding a sense of ancient decay. Bright star-like motes of light float in the air. The art style is cel-shaded, with flat color separations and clean lines, combined with soft atmospheric gradients to suggest fog and glow. The overall mood is lonely, remote, beautiful, and slightly ominous, evoking a surreal dream world. Include a small, horned character in a red cloak standing on the stone platform, holding a thin needle-like weapon. The character is framed against the glowing haze, with stark contrast to the dark environment.
