A skilled Hollow Knight: Silksong player has figured out an incredibly specific sequence break in the iconic prison section that can actually result in the game completely softlocking.
Team Cherry had a whopping seven years to work on Hollow Knight: Silksong, which really shows in the final game. There are a ton of interactions and secret moments packed into the game that make it clear that Team Cherry was aware of how players were going to mess around in Pharloom.
That being said, the Hollow Knight community is incredibly creative and has already figured out a number of bizarre strats to sequence break and reach areas they weren't supposed to. While most of these are harmless or just skip painful boss battles, there's one that no player will want to attempt, if they could even figure it out in the first place.
Most of you are probably aware of one of Silksong's coolest optional moments, where Hornet can get captured and end up in The Slab's prison. That results in a jailbreak sequence where Hornet retakes her belongings, snaps a neck or two, and then escapes on the Bell Beast to get back to her quest.
