You can make Silksong's terrible Bilewater boss 100 times easier by simply surrendering yourself to the maggot bath

If you've been playing Hollow Knight: Silksong, you'll know one thing for certain: Bilewater is terrible. It sucks there. Enemies that explode when they die, darts that explode when they're thrown, bounce orbs that also explode—and worst of all, pools of maggots that will strip you of your ability to heal (after being exploded by said orbs).

It's also home to one of the most obnoxious runbacks in Silksong's entire library. For the record, you can find a slightly-closer bench located in the screenshot below. It's down at the bottom of a shaft with a pool of worms at its base—just break the wall to your right instead of going left.
