The developers of Hollow Knight: Silksong have playfully devised a trick bench designed to mislead players seeking respite. While the game is known for its adorable character designs and challenging gameplay, players are finding that not all benches provide a safe haven. Specifically, a deceptive bench located in Hunter’s March can trigger a hidden spike trap that inflicts damage to the protagonist, Hornet. Gamers have shared their frustrations and amusement on social media, recounting their surprise when this trap caught them off guard. Thankfully, players can deactivate the trap to use the bench safely by attacking a lever nearby, allowing for a much-needed break from the game's intense challenges.
