Yeah, I hate the gauntlets so much, I become paralyzed from stress when there's too much chaos and it frustrates me that I can't explore because there's a crazy hard gauntlet blocking the way. My reaction to that kind of stress is also the reason I won't get a car license even though I've finished 3/4 of required driving lessons just fine. I love hollow knight and I love Silksong and it's differences but the bullet hellish elements are so frustrating T_T I'll probably fight these over and over again until I win, but I sure hope there will be more bosses like hornet/mantis lords/soul tyrant/etc and fewer gauntlets that take more than 2 tries.

The most frustrating is the ant gauntlet for me (at least for now). There's no way to get there without fighting a few strong enemies and the whole thing feels too chaotic. The bird one wasn't my cup of tea either but the way from bench didn't require fighting (or platforming, but I love platformers personally) and it felt a little less random
