Silksong spent seven long years in development. While developer Team Cherry spent cooking up the wildly anticipated sequel, it also met with Seth Goldman, a fan who was battling cancer in 2020. After meeting with him, Team Cherry promised to include a character of Seth\u2019s own design, directly named after him. Seth unfortunately lost his battle with cancer, but his memory lives on in Silksong. Now that the game is finally out, players have sought out and encountered Seth, immortalized as a boss<\/a> awaiting players in a hidden area.<\/p>\n

Taking to Reddit six years ago, user big_boi878, or Seth, announced<\/a> that after meeting Team Cherry thanks to the Marty Lyons Foundation<\/a>, a character of his own design would end up in the game. \u201cHe\u2019s really cool and has a boss fight,\u201d Seth Goldman wrote six years ago.\u201cI named him after myself (Seth) [\u2026] I can\u2019t wait for you to see him, and see his cool lore and design and gameplay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seth, the Silksong boss, appears in a hidden area in Grand Gate. Hopefully by this point in the game, you\u2019ll be furiously attacking all walls you come across to discover secret areas. This particular one is found after a trip up an elevator shaft in Grand Gate, where you\u2019ll find a smashable wall on the left at the top. You can check out the boss battle with Seth here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Upon release of the game, Hollow Knight fans took to social media to mourn the loss of Seth while celebrating the game\u2019s eventual release. \u201cI wish so badly that we could play Silksong together,\u201d reads a post<\/a> from one user who considers Seth the reason they became a Hollow Knight fan, \u201cbut I\u2019m glad you\u2019ll still be there in some form.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Silksong spent seven long years in development.
