The next Silksong update helps the bosses but does little to allay our own, interminable suffering

Hornet sits on a bench in Hollow Knight: Silksong.

The first Silksong patch was released last week and, among other things, nerfed a couple of the tough early game bosses like Moorwing and Sister Splinter. But if the patch notes for Silksong's second update are any indication, Team Cherry doesn't intend to keep dialing down the difficulty. If you were hoping for some more boss nerfs or perhaps fewer obstacles on the way to bosses, then give up all hope ye who enter here.

No, the latest Silksong patch—which is currently live in the public-beta branch on Steam, but will roll out officially in the coming days—is mostly about making sure the bosses themselves don't keep making dumb mistakes.
