Finally hopped on this. Just got the dash. Loving it so far. Blasphemous series prepared me for this one.

I have beaten hollow knight, so , pretty experienced.

Finished it a couple nights ago. Got the 100% but it wasn’t under 30 hours.

Honestly didn’t think lost lace was that bad. Took about an hour to get it down. Spacing is pretty key in that fight and wanderers crest was my favorite. Had the closest to hollow knight’s moveset

I finally decided to fight her and end the game, but DAMN she is as tough as they come (and there are a lot of ridiculous bosses in this game already)!!!

Finally got the double jump.

Experience should improve. Although I realize the jump puzzles will just get tougher

I thought sands of karak was harder than mt fay honestly. But you’ve also got bilewater left if you just found the double jump

All of Grand Mother Silk's moves you have seen from other bosses you've beaten. Also, the food fetch quest can be frustrating being one of the deliveries is timed and if you take damage, it can mean you fail the delivery.

I finally got around to checking this one out. I'm about 12H into it and am in the Shellwood zone, having just unlocked the Bellway station & nabbed that damned mask shard that you have to pogo on the white flowers until you wish for death.

Wall Cling ability must be next.

Hunter's Reach can go frick itself.

Checking in to say that fixing that broken bench in Sinner's Road sucked.

Agreed. A boss-style runback from a full zone over just to unlock a save point, only to introduce one of the most unforgiving platforming segments experienced in the game so far is borderline contempt for your players.

I had to take a break against beating my head against the wall on The Last Judge. Still haven't been able to beat her, but I did get to phase 2 of that fight. The Blasted Lands runback to get back to the gate isn't nearly as daunting as it once was.

ETA - I was Saturday years old when I discovered that not only if you hold the dash button down, do you sprint on the ground, but if you hit the Attack button, Hornet does an uppercut move (that usually requires a downward slash/pogo strike to keep you from taking damage when you land).

Slight Spoilers

Finally on Act 3 and really burning out. Loved act 1/2 but doing all the requirements to trigger Act 3 which I also had to look up because no way would I have figured that out on my own really did a number on me.
