Cofy on YouTube has printed a video information for sequence breaking Hole Knight: Silksong to unlock its double leap, the Faydown Cloak, before you’re supposed to and with out the supposed prerequisite objects. The one catch is that it appears extremely difficult to drag off, demanding each endurance and twitch reflexes.
Each Hole Knights are deliciously old fashioned in how they make you work to your double leap, withholding it till deep into the sport. In Silksong, the Faydown Cloak is positioned on the high of Mount Fay, previous a difficult, platforming-centric stage that requires the Clawline, an Act 2 means. No less than, it is imagined to require the Clawline. For the skip, Cofy wanted:
- The Needolin
- Swift Step
- Reaper Crest
- Drifter’s Cloak
- Sharpdart
This is already nuts because the Sharpdart itself is designed to require the Faydown Cloak to grab—it’s a Catch 22. But Cofy also has a guide showing the requisite jumping tech to get the Sharpdart before the Faydown Cloak. Sharpdart is a touch assault that Cofy is ready to use as a poor man’s Clawline in the course of the climb.
Mount Fay’s solely entrance is within the Slab, so you must get captured by a Wardenfly and end the jail escape sequence first. After that, it is principally simply extremely intuition platforming. Cofy appears to make use of the Reaper Crest’s wider hurtbox to pogo off enemies whereas virtually stage with them, as a substitute of above. Additionally they present that it is doable to leap up the seemingly unclimbable slippery slopes on the mountain.
Cofy’s gnarliest trick, although, is purposefully dying in strategic places to depart behind a cocoon they will run again and pogo off for further top, finishing in any other case unimaginable jumps. That simply feels notably hardcore.
In spite of everything that, you possibly can, certainly, technically get the Faydown Cloak in Act 1 and with out the Clawline. However this is not precisely a useful trick for common gamers to change into overpowered early. In truth, lots of the YouTube feedback on Cofy’s video recommend this implies Michael Saves’ Silksong Randomizer mod could be made much more difficult than it already is: Its merchandise spawn swimming pools not have to make sure that the Clawline is obtainable exterior Mount Fay to keep away from softlocking gamers.
