  Hottake:<br>Enemy gauntlets are fun and serve as a similar obstacle as bossfights. I with there were more big serious gauntlets in Silksong similar to Coral Tower and High Halls one. Something like Colosseum of Fools would be a nice addition

  About the cogwork dancers fight, i think we forgot why people love this fight in the first place. The big point about it is the emotional arc of the fight, along with the music, its the confusion of the telegraphed attacks, the ramp up in speed and intensity, you get swept up in the moment, and then boom one of them dies, and you start feeling bad for the second dancer, the music becomes depressing rather than the upbeat elegance it was before, and then the whole green prince storyline ramps the fight up even higher in retrospect. It was never about the fight to begin with

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_xpK4aLInY&amp;t=252">4:12</a> I think they need some more unique combo attacks to break up the regular telegraphed attacks you get used to in the clockwork version. That would really make the fight feel both more challenging and unique.

  Dude my problem with Wanderer crest when I first got it was that it was WAY too short. Genuinely WAAAAY too short. Could you imagine my surprise when I went on the internet and saw that the crest I deemed unusable was highly praised, while my goat reaper crest was deemed bad??? Genuinely unfathomable.<br><br>Upon getting used to it + getting longclaw I started to like it.<br>I should also mention that I never saw the importance of Longnail OR Mark of Pride in the first game.

  I think widow is so memorable is cuz she was the 1st boss fight where I felt the difficulty spike in a noticeable way. From that fight onwards I was really going to enjoy most of these fight (f u savage beastfly)

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_xpK4aLInY&amp;t=1330">22:10</a> we just vibe code all bosses and npcs until it works, who doesn&apos;t want to play as savage beast fly vs gruz mother in a platform fighting game?

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_xpK4aLInY&amp;t=810">13:30</a> Luke-warm Take: Grimm&apos;s theme alone is so iconic and such a banger, it eclipses all base-game Silksong music.<br>Except maybe Seth and Nyleth&apos;s, because it gut punches my emotions so damn hard.

  Imo, silksong has higher highs, but far lower lows than hollow knight. <br>There is no worse feeling in either game than grinding for geo, buying stuff, and walking back to the high halls entrance to grind for more.

  I love bilewater actually and it&apos;s because of the following things<br><br>1) i found it&apos;s platforming section pretty fun tbh, once I got used to it I liked parkouring through it. It&apos;s meant to be challenging and annoying sometimes and I liked it for that <br>2) the lore. How it was a beautiful place before the citadel ruined it and turned it into what it is right now, I like all of that<br>3)is the music, I don&apos;t need to explain much about this one <br><br>I understand why people don&apos;t like it but all of the above is just my opinion
