The video game Hollow Knight: Silksong has captured the attention of the gaming community thanks to a peculiar combat mechanic that has been rediscovered by players. Hornet, the main character, has a taunt button that not only attracts enemies but also inflicts damage, which has led a YouTuber, Bloblumordthe3rd, to attempt to complete the game using only this action, dubbing his video series “Garama%”.
Ragebaiting until the end
The curiosity about the use of mockery has grown in the community, given that this attack causes six points of damage, while the needle, its main weapon, does five at the beginning and 21 when fully upgraded. However, users have pointed out that this strategy is not very effective for progressing quickly in the game. Bloblumordthe3rd has published weekly updates on his progress, highlighting that each fight becomes a monumental task, like when it took him two hours to defeat the final boss of the first act.
The comments on Bloblumordthe3rd’s videos reflect both amazement and fun, highlighting the entertaining and challenging nature of this approach. Some viewers describe these sessions as “ragebaiting” the bosses, echoing Hornet’s effort in facing enemies with coordinated and surprising skills. However, the path is not easy; in the second part of the game, the YouTuber has encountered significant difficulties in battles that require the intervention of NPCs, raising questions about the viability of his challenge as he progresses through the story.
With a growing base of followers, the initiative of Bloblumordthe3rd highlights creativity within the gaming community and the eternal quest for new challenges in the world of video games. As it continues its journey, many eagerly await to see if it will succeed in completing this unusual feat in Hollow Knight: Silksong.
