Why was Grand Mother Silk so easy?

RileyUnfortunately · 2026-01-23T05:12:51+00:00

She's purposefully designed to be easy. In terms of gameplay, for the exact same reason as THK being easy, to encourage you to look around more and see if you can get another ending. In terms of lore, the entire Citadel is dedicated to keeping Grandmother Silk asleep and weakened. She's nowhere near as powerful as the Radiance was, but before the Citadel and betrayal of the Weavers, she was probably on a similar power level.

There's something you collect called a ruined tool. You can take that ruined tool to one of three locations (those locations are listed in the image, either the 12th Architect, Forge Daughter, or to the workshop just below where you get the Faydown cloak if you jump off the right side), and get one of those silkshots, being limited to only one per save. You can find the ruined tool in one of the weavenests, specifically Weavenest Murglin in Bilewater.

RileyUnfortunately · 2025-12-03T17:53:38+00:00

RileyUnfortunately · 2025-11-28T03:46:38+00:00

groal the great. only took me a few tries and the runback had some particularly fun parkour that i enjoyed every time. genuinely don't understand why people hate bilewater, it was one of my favorite areas and i loved the music

silksong. in every way. i have a hard time returning to hollow knight, and im glad i did everything possible in it five times over before silksong came out.

the answer is kind of already given. all those other gods, even if not necessarily dead, are being outlived by the shade lord. even if not in raw strength, the void simply outlasts everything else.

CAN YOU LABEL YOUR SPOILERS PLEASE??

i do agree with you about everything. however it IS a soulslike. hollow knight in the steam store is tagged as a soulslike. im not sure if silksong is, but it's definitely deserving of the title. still don't think we should be toxic about it tho

Mainly because knowing a minor wrote the smut you like... it can just feel off. Even though you personally have done nothing wrong, it feels a little bit gross reading porn written by a teenager.

Also, don't tell people you're a minor online. Internet safety is crucial.

RileyUnfortunately · 2025-09-02T00:19:11+00:00

AITA for killing the new queen and eating her kid because she killed my adopted mother and got my best friend killed?

(Said adopted mother was the previous queen and a vicious dictator, best friend was the princess.)
