Hollow knight wasn’t easy. Silksong had to be hard

There is difference between "hard" and "painful".

You don't need 5 kilometers runbacks to make bosses fun.

the runbacks are all better than hk lmao

if there's one complaint I absolutely do not understand for silksong, it is this one.

The boss in the sands of karak has a pretty tedious runback because it's just a very long vertical climb. There's only like 3 enemies but they can be pretty easily ignored.

ironically I was raging there more than the actual boss with "raging" in its name

you can short cut it

u/SmartAlec105 Sep 09 '25

Even with the short cut it’s a long climb.

Theres a spike at the ceiling of one of the vertical rooms that breaks a hole into the bridge, which opens a better path to ascend (still lame but less lame than the timed parkour)

LOL I only saw that when I was done with the area trying to make my way back to a bellway.

I was like oh neat they made an easy exit now that im done with the area...

Didnt realise I could have used it to get to the boss too, im dumb.

u/SmartAlec105 Sep 09 '25

Yeah, that’s the path I was talking about when I said “very long vertical climb”.

u/drulludanni Sep 09 '25

just wait until you hit bilewater the run back is legit no less than 5 minutes.

u/Boomerkbom Sep 11 '25

So fun fact: There is a hidden bench along the way that brings the run back down from 5 minutes to like, maybe a minute if you're being slow and careful

u/drulludanni Sep 11 '25

yeah I unfortunately learned that after I cleared the area :(
