The real gauntlet

Having finished Hollow Knight, and after doing the Fool's Colosseum, all 3, I'll never complain about Silksong's gauntlets again. Coral Tower feels nice in comparison because at least you get some rest with silk enemies and there aren't crap tons of primal aspids, ffs I had more attempts on the Fool's trial than I did the radiance.

The upside is that the Fool's Colosseum is optional technically, whereas the gauntlets throughout Silksong are mostly mandatory, but High Halls Gauntlet doesn't feel so bad now all things considered. Not to mention you can cheese with Shakra, there's no cheesing the Colosseum. Except the last boss with weaver song but that's a waste of 2 notches.

I still gotta do godhome for HK but man both games were incredible.
