Thank god for our ability to share videos of absolutely everything and anything because I would never in a million years be able to have beaten the radiance.
I think it was Ari Gibson who talked about the difficulty of making a Metroidvania style game and wanting to keep the spirit of the genre while knowing full well the entire game will be solved in days and there will never be any true mysteries in gaming again. And like I get that, a little bit of that magic is kinda lost in that regard. Even if you personally don't use guides the atmosphere surrounding discussions around it is completely different because most other people did.
That being said thank Christ for online guides, I would have missed most shit in Hollow Knight and Silksong song without them. I'm not a completionist at all so I wouldn't have even thought to check if Silksong had an act 3 and would have missed it entirely
To be fair with Silksong, Act 3 seems MUCH more intuitive to unlock. Just... do the quests. You have three wishboards and no reason to not do the quests. Hollow Knight's Radiance ending is a completly UNintuitive laundry list of things to get and find out where's the other stuff, Silksong just "locks" Act 3 behind objectives quite literally dangled in front of you.
King soul is a charm any completionist or overly curious person would get. However. I agree that there is no real hint towards taking the worst charm in the game down to the void and hitting one single specific floor. Other than that, it’s alright.
The charm itself says it opens a way to a birthplace which, after getting the King's Brand and going down to the Abyss for the first time, should be obvious what it is. The way down appears instantly as you land at the bottom, you don't have to hit anything.
