Hollow Knight: Silksong Nerfs 2 Early Game Bosses, Increases Currency Drops in Upcoming Patch

Team Cherry has unveiled an update for the game Hollow Knight: Silksong. This new patch addresses various glitches and tinkers with the balance of two Act 1 bosses, Sister Splinter and Moorwing. These bosses now experience a minor decrease in difficulty, which may prove beneficial for players who found Sister Splinter or Moorwing particularly challenging.

Noteworthy enhancements encompass: eliminating the float override control when you’ve acquired the Faydown Cloak, thereby lessening the difficulty for Sandcarvers (this should minimize platforming annoyances on Blasted Steps); lowering the costs to navigate through the Bellway and Bell Benches slightly; and increased chances of finding Rosaries, essential for acquiring Tools and additional items, from specific environmental objects.

By finishing courier deliveries, you’ll receive additional Rosaries, making these tasks even more satisfying. For detailed updates on this, take a look at the full patch notes below. At the moment, it’s accessible in the public beta branches of Steam and GOG, with a planned release across all platforms within the next week. Keep an eye out for another patch from Team Cherry, as they continue to work on further improvements.

You can now play Hollow Knight: Silksong on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, Nintendo Switch, and an upcoming Nintendo Switch version. Take a look at our review for more details.
