Hollow Knight: Silksong developers are trolling players with a seemingly safe haven
While Hollow Knight: Silksong’s cute character designs may suggest something light and effortless, do not be fooled. Silksong is not an easy game to play. In fact, it is darn difficult, requiring plenty of precision, be it platforming of fighting.
Thankfully, developer Team Cherry has popped a number of benches throughout Silksong, where the game’s protagonist Hornet (and the player), can take some weight off and recover from the perils that have come before, before heading once more out into the fray. Except, when the team hasn’t…
You see, many players have come to realise that Team Cherry has in fact planted at least one trick bench in the depths of Silksong, that doesn’t really play fair (please read no further if you do not want to know where).

Silksong’s trick bench can be found in Hunter’s March, which itself is found off The Marrow. As with many other areas in Silksong, it is tricky. It’s an area you can do early on, but should probably come back to with more upgrades to actually have a better chance of getting through. Needless to say, when you get to a bench, you will likely feel a sense of relief, and want to finally pause and take a breather. Except this trick bench will scupper that breather, and when Hornet sits on it she will activate a spike trap that will whop a load of health off. Ouch!
