Should You Play Hollow Knight Before Silksong?
With the hype for Silksong manifesting into meme magic, and the game officially releasing on September 4th, many players are flocking to the game due to its hype. Many players who didn’t even play the first one are curious about the situation too. Since the game is a sequel to the hit indie darling, many want to know whether you need to play Hollow Knight before Silksong, which is a fair question for narrative reasons.
Well, should you?
The short answer is no - you don't need to play Hollow Knight before diving into Silksong. While Silksong is technically a sequel, it features a new protagonist (Hornet) and takes place in a different kingdom, making it accessible to newcomers.
However, playing the original Hollow Knight first will enhance your experience by:
- Providing context for Hornet's character and abilities
- Helping you understand the world's lore and mythology
- Familiarizing you with the core gameplay mechanics
- Allowing you to appreciate the evolution of the game's design
Best Rosary Farming Spots
Mosshome Farming Spot
This location offers excellent rosary drop rates early in the game. The enemies here respawn quickly and are relatively easy to defeat, making it ideal for new players looking to stock up on rosaries.
Greymoor Farming Spot
For more advanced players, Greymoor provides higher-tier rosaries but with increased difficulty. The risk-reward ratio makes this spot perfect for mid to late-game farming.
Rosary farming becomes more efficient as you progress through the game and unlock better equipment.
