Team Cherry has announced a new patch for Hollow Knight: Silksong, fixing several bugs and making a few balance adjustments to two Act 1 bosses, Sister Splinter and Moorwing. Both have seen a “slight” difficulty reduction, which is probably for those who felt stuck by the latter.
Other notable improvements include removing the float override input when you’ve obtained the Faydown Cloak and reducing damage taken by the Sandcarvers (which should reduce platforming frustrations on Blasted Steps). Prices for accessing the Bellway and Bell Benches have also been slightly reduced, while Rosaries, used to purchase Tools and other items, now drop more frequently from certain environmental objects.
You’ll also obtain more Rosaries from completing courier deliveries, making the requests that much more rewarding. Check out the full patch notes below – it’s currently available in the public beta branch for Steam and GOG, with a target release for all platforms next week. Team Cherry has another patch in the works with even more fixes, so stay tuned for more details.
Hollow Knight: Silksong is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. Check out our review.
