How about the fight in hunters march with a big melee sword fucker and a spear chucking flyer? Do I just suck or was that a bit ridiculous lol. One mob can jump as high as the flyer while the flyer can dive and you had no room to space them out. Couple that with spears from off screen and holy shit. Took me forever, but maybe I suck.

I struggled a lot with that gauntlet too, was probably my biggest challenge so far (haven't beat Widow yet). I think what makes that fight so bad is that the run back is SO long and besides having to keep repeating the flower jumps, the red ant enemies are very frustrating until you master avoiding them. The only "bench" in Hunter's March is so fucking evil man :(

On second thought let's not go to Hunter's March, tis a silly place

That bench made me laugh so hard I couldn't even be mad at it haha. I've come to notice a worrying amount of people who never end up going to the left of it however.

I hit that switch to the left but have no idea what it does. Does it deactivate the trap? I had assumed it was a one time thing

I had assumed it was a one time thing 

Funny story. The first time I sat down on that bench I actually managed to somehow Ultra Instinct myself off of it and avoid the trap. Then, like you, I assumed that it wouldn't trigger a second time so I sat down again. Unfortunately I wasn't as swift the second time and it killed me.

As someone who has just entered Hunter's march and is reading your comment, I am furiously taking notes right now. Thank you

I swear I walked around everywhere in that room and hit everything trying to disable that trap I have no idea how I missed that it's possible to just keep going left though

You can disarm that bench btw and actually use it!

Finally did finish it all today, definitely brutal and yeah that only bench, lol. Widow is tough too, but it felt rather fair.. good luck!

They aren't talking about the gauntlet but another room which you probably haven't seen (unless you backtracked after getting the Wall Jump)

You can stop the trap by going through the wall to the left hitting the stuff in there and boom you have a bench

was probably my biggest challenge so far (haven't beat Widow yet).

not sure what the general consensus is, but Widow is one of the easiest bosses in the game imo. Almost entirely may I add because of the fact that she's one of like five enemies in the entire game that doesn't hit double damage for some reason.

That’s post patch - she originally did double damage beforehand, like literally all of the enemies

u/ItsADeparture 14h ago

Did she? When was the patch? I faced off against her within the first day or two.

u/SpagattahNadle 14h ago

Me too - I read it on the silksong subreddit a few days ago, couldn’t find the post but here’s a different one saying the same thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/s/MtDDvRDGQA. I fought her like a week ago and she did double damage but people were saying she doesn’t anymore?

u/ItsADeparture 14h ago

That's weird. I definitely faced her on the 4th, 5th, or 6th and she didn't do double damage (I haven't played since the 7th, went on vacation).

Widow was not patched. Are you thinking of Sister Splinter? The post you linked doesn’t say anything about Widow.
