Struggling with the Moorwing and Sister Splinter boss fights in Hollow Knight: Silksong? The game's first update will make those battles easier

Hollow Knight: Silksong's first patch has been announced, and it makes the game easier, at least somewhat. The new update includes a "slight difficulty reduction" for the early-game bosses Moorwing and Sister Splinter. Additionally, Sandcarvers now do less damage.

The notes for Hollow Knight: Silksong 's first proper post-release patch have arrived. Team Cherry have been busy fixing bugs and making some "slight balance adjustments in the early game", which you can now give a go early via beta branches on Steam and GOG.

The Last Judge in Hollow Knight: Silksong is a terrifying prospect. His runback is a joke, and he's insanely hard to beat. But the good news is that, when you do slay him and open the Grand Gate, you'll be in the heart of the Citadel in no time. Or so the game would have you believe.

An influx of players excited for this morning's launch of Hollow Knight: Silksong are encountering widespread errors purchasing and downloading the game from Steam this morning. Ars Technica writers have encountered errors getting store pages to load, adding the game to an online shopping cart, and checking out once the game is part of the cart.

Silksong protagonist Hornet is far more agile than the Knight from Hollow Knight, especially in her diagonal downward slash. But this angled attack is causing lots of frustration for players online, especially in areas of the game where Hornet has to bounce off objects with the slash to get past deadly obstacles.

Silksong update is scheduled for next week, and it's lowering the difficulty of a couple of early-game bosses, plus more.
