For a frame of reference for how much time that might take to reach at a normal, first playthrough pace, I&#8217;m 20 hours deep and still quite a ways away from fighting Trobbio. As for the purple quill, you have to take on the more difficult reprisal version of him, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/hollowknight.wiki\/w\/Tormented_Trobbio\" target=\"_blank\">Tormented Trobbio<\/a>, in Silksong&#8217;s expansive Act Three late game.<\/p>\n<p>Denying yourself an automap until these fights, just to be clear, merely results in a cosmetic change to your map and quill&#8217;s inventory icon. It is such a tiny, absurd detail, and seeing it requires either a huge oversight or deranged self-imposed challenge on the part of the player. I love that Team Cherry did this.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the sort of craftsman attention to detail you get from a seven-year development cycle, and it reminds me of the surprise reactivity, &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe they anticipated I&#8217;d do this&#8221; moments in Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3. On the player side, such a minor cosmetic requiring so much commitment feels strangely fitting, the sort of memetic badge of honor that real Silksickos would go ga-ga over.<\/p>\n<p>And hey, there&#8217;s always the possibility that some players simply miss the first quill by accident and go through most of Silksong thinking it has a deliberately unhelpful in-game map. I have a friend who beat all of Elden Ring as a heavily encumbered, fat rolling wizard with minimal HP.
