Hollow Knight: Silksong players are expressing frustration over how easily their Rosary Beads shatter upon hitting spikes. This article explores player complaints about the game's currency system and the community's divided response.
Player Frustrations and Community Debate Over Silksong's Rosary Beads
Fragile Rosary Beads Pose Consistent Challenge
Hollow Knight: Silksong enthusiasts have raised concerns about the delicate nature of Rosary Beads, particularly when these valuable items scatter across spike-covered terrain. On the game's official Reddit community, players shared their struggles with collecting this essential currency.
Rosary Beads serve as Silksong's primary currency, enabling players to purchase maps, tools, character upgrades, and access essential services like benches and fast travel points. The core issue arises when beads land in dangerous locations, making recovery nearly impossible.
One prominent Reddit discussion highlighted problematic physics governing the beads' behavior. Given the game's abundance of spikes and hazardous environments, players found the Magnetite Brooch - designed to attract beads - often falls short in practice.
Community members observed that the brooch's attraction mechanics sometimes direct beads toward dangerous surfaces rather than safely toward the player. The discussion thread has gained significant traction with over 5,000 upvotes and 200 comments, indicating widespread engagement with this issue.
Despite these currency collection challenges and other concerns like translation inconsistencies and lengthy backtracking sections, Silksong maintains strong community support with "Mostly Positive" Steam reviews. Game8's review awarded Hollow Knight: Silksong 98/100, praising its successful evolution of the original formula and justifying the six-year development cycle. Explore our complete evaluation below!
