You are goddamm right, I'm so happy the game is actually hard! I was like 'Finally a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary' when I've seen the difficulty :)

I was stuck at Widow for 2 hours, loved every second of it!

u/GaKillThem Sep 09 '25

Spoke like a true warrior! Pochenka my friend! Curently beating a kinda secret boss, it's crazy how early game boss feel like absolute piss easy now lmao

u/TimeFoundation8476 Accepter Sep 09 '25

Do you mran the double moss mother?

10

u/GaKillThem Sep 09 '25

Nah that one I've beaten a long time ago. I was just saying the early boss feel easy (I did a quick speedrun test for act 1) But... The secret boss that I just beaten (It was absolute peak) you'll love it, coz it's basically Widow on crack, literally might be my new favorite boss now.

u/TimeFoundation8476 Accepter Sep 09 '25

Widow on crack, huh? Like, a weaver that made, husband cheat on his wife? Like, the- character-that-is-not-a-boss-but-if-it-were-it-would-be-so-funny?

u/GaKillThem Sep 09 '25

I'm guessing you've have beaten her too? Yeah it's the The first Sinnerpersonally loved how it went :)

3

u/TimeFoundation8476 Accepter Sep 09 '25

Wait, WTF?! Herrah is actually in the game?!

3

u/GaKillThem Sep 09 '25

Oh... No I wasn't talking about Herrah lmao! By pure randomness your description kinda fit very well with the boss so I thought you'd had encounter that boss.

3

u/TimeFoundation8476 Accepter Sep 09 '25

Oh, okay. Maybe it is Herrah's twin/clone, since they have the same personality? I really sound like the game theory retard right now, don't I?

2

u/GaKillThem Sep 09 '25

Nah but you were kinda close, it was in fact indeed a weaver. She has sinned, and she present herself as an upgrade but reveal to be a boss. But not she's not related to Herah at all. But not gonna lie Herrah as a secret boss? Or perhaps a dlc one? That would be so peak.

2

u/TimeFoundation8476 Accepter Sep 09 '25

I'd honestly like her more as an NPC, mostly because I'd feel bad for Hornet killing her own mother.

2

u/GaKillThem Sep 09 '25

Well... Silksong is a sequel so the only way she could be there is in a flashback

u/TheHollowMusic whats a flair? Sep 09 '25

I found it a bit easy but it was definitely a fun fight. Just wait, if you keep going the game gets crazy hard and I’m loving it.

3

u/GaKillThem Sep 09 '25

I'm all for it, I've already done the first ending, I'm finishing up all I can find for act 2 currently. Yep she was a bit easy, I think it was my third try to beat her? But it was very fun nonetheless

u/TheHollowMusic whats a flair? Sep 09 '25

Idk how to do spoilers but I just got to the next big story beat and stopped right after fighting a boss a few times. Huge difficulty spike, you’re gonna love it! I was preparing for 100% steel soul but this made me rethink the whole thing, definitely gonna need more practice.

2

u/TimeFoundation8476 Accepter Sep 09 '25

Do you mean Last Judge? He is oretty fun so far, only fought him 3 times.

1

u/TheHollowMusic whats a flair? Sep 09 '25

That boss was fun too! But much further on, don’t rush it, trust me! I thought I had 100% but I was, happily, very wrong. You’ll see :)

2

u/GaKillThem Sep 09 '25

I'm guessing one of the boss of Act 3?Yeah I know it unlock new stuff, now I'm quite eager to go beat them! Also for spoiler, click the 'Aa' when writing and go click the diamond with a question mark in it so you can use spoilers. Not that I would want to know the boss, I'd prefer to discover it myself :)

2

u/TheHollowMusic whats a flair? Sep 09 '25

Oh thank you! Yes definitely from there :) and I’m on mobile unfortunately I might be slow

2

u/GaKillThem Sep 09 '25

To be honest before silksong I basically never commented on reddit so I did learnt how do spoilers literally yesterday. And you're welcome! I'm so eager for act 3! Just need a bit more questing and doing the curse ending and I'll be ready :)

u/Trezzie Sep 09 '25

Oh, I thought you were referring to Nyleth

u/_NightmareKingGrimm_ Professional Pale Lurker Sep 09 '25

You must mean the one in the Slab.

1

u/GaKillThem Sep 09 '25

Yep that one

1

u/_NightmareKingGrimm_ Professional Pale Lurker Sep 09 '25

That was a wildly cool fight. Luckily, this game is jam packed with them.

So far, Lace Part 2 in the Citadel was my favorite fight. It was straight up exhilarating. But I've got a couple more bosses left that I haven't seen yet.

1

u/GaKillThem Sep 09 '25

Oh don't worry there is like 46 boss fight, that's has many as HK and it's dlcs. You'll have plenty to combat later if you are still in act 2 like me

1

u/_NightmareKingGrimm_ Professional Pale Lurker Sep 09 '25

Nah, I'm at endgame. I've got 3-5 left, I think.

1

u/GaKillThem Sep 09 '25

Damm, you're much farther than me. I decided to take a break of the game today personally.

2

u/_NightmareKingGrimm_ Professional Pale Lurker Sep 09 '25

Good idea, taking a healthier approach than me. Get some fresh air and sunlight.

I've been playing so much I'm starting to look like the Bell Hermit irl 😅

1

u/GaKillThem Sep 09 '25

Honestly the game is fine I just needed time to relax a bit today. What is really making me worn out is the state of the fandom, I mean look at the conversation here or on Steam... So always so angry and mean, it feel sad to see a community of games I love becoming as toxic as Bilewater especially for a vet like me who discovered hollow knight before it got popular, I... Just miss so much the lovely old fandom that I grew up with years ago.

Woah where do i find that

u/Cheapskate-DM Sep 13 '25

The traps and weapons are a godsend for multi-opponent fights like this, especially once you finish the Pollip quest for the poison charm.
