It&#8217;s as if Hornet is far from impressed by their well-choreographed, synchronized moves and is yelling at them to see if they&#8217;ll mess up.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bloblumordthe3rd, Hornet&#8217;s <em>garama <\/em>does a total of six damage with the Hunter&#8217;s Crest on. For reference: The Needle, you know, Hornet&#8217;s <em>actual<\/em> weapon, does five damage at the start of the game and 21 when fully upgraded. Apart from the emotional damage you deal by yelling at bugs until they die, <em>garamaing <\/em>your way through Silksong is probably one of the least effective ways to finish it.

They ran into a fight against several waves of enemies that can&#8217;t be done without recruiting the help of an NPC. The taunt can&#8217;t quite reach the flying enemies, which is a problem that I suspect might come up again in the later parts of the game.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be cheering them on whether or not they manage to actually finish the entire thing.
