Tragedy struck a local gamer this weekend after the location of an obvious wall jump spot had completely faded from memory hours if not days before the wall jump ability was unlocked, sources say.
“It was like saying goodbye to a friend you know you’re not going to see for a while,” said Brooklyn Summers, who picked up the recent Hollow Knight: Silksong under the false impression it wasn’t as BS as other Soulslikes. “I was having a fun time exploring with the bug lady when I came across this sheer vertical wall with a platform way up at the top. Now, I played the first Hollow Knight two presidencies and one transition ago; I know a wall jump spot when I see one. I figure I’ll remember where it is on the backtrack, so I just go back to playing. Cut to nine hours later, I’m balls deep in Hunter’s March with six rosaries to my name and a bench that’s trying to kill me, and the last thing on my mind is a piece of wall in an area I cheaped out buying the map for ages ago. Where is the map lady? Is she even in Pharloom anymore?” [...]
I've taken to doing the same with the map markers in Silksong when I run into something like that, but that means buying all the map markers.
Come to think of it, I should probably re-explore most of the act 1 areas as I almost certainly missed things earlier.
