Silksong Rosary Beads Complaints and Pushback
Rosary Beads Get Destroyed Easily
Hollow Knight: Silksong players voiced out their concerns around Rosary Beads getting destroyed easily, specifically when falling into spikes. In Hollow Knight’s Reddit page, fans shared their experiences regarding the difficulty of obtaining these beads.
For context, Rosary Beads are the primary in-game currency for Silksong, used to purchase a wide variety of items from merchants, including maps, tools, and upgrades, as well as most benches and fast travel points. A main complaint by fans comes from Rosary Beads scattering into hazardous areas, making it impossible for players to obtain them.
According to a Reddit post, players stated that the physics on these beads are problematic, as the game’s map is riddled with spikes and other dangerous terrain. The main poster mentioned that even with the Magnetite Brooch, an item that attracts the beads, it is still difficult to obtain them.
Additionally, many noted that the trajectory of the beads when attracted by the brooch leads those beads to hazardous areas, rendering them unobtainable. As of writing, the Reddit post has gained over 5k upvotes with over 200 comments, and has been a hot topic within the community.
While these issues have plagued Hollow Knight’s sequel, including the CN translation woes and long runbacks, Silksong is still favored by the community, gaining "Mostly Positive" reviews on Steam. Here at Game8, we gave Hollow Knight: Silksong a 98 out of 100 for taking the original game and making it even better, making every second of the six-year wait worth it.

Community Pushback on Complaints
In another post on Hollow Knight’s Reddit page, fans are expressing their frustration about the complaints that people have with the game, mostly regarding the scarcity of the Rosary Beads. This ties in with the issues people have with the beads getting destroyed easily, which heightens the grievances of many about the lack and difficulty of obtaining them.
A user stated that the Rosary Beads players get snowballs later on, which was also the case for the original Hollow Knight, where the in-game currency becomes easier to farm in later sections of the game. Some even shared their farming strategies to prove that players can obtain beads in the early parts of the game.
Additionally, while beads can be lost forever upon players’ death, they can protect their beads by purchasing Rosary Strings so they may have them regardless. This strategy may have eluded most players according to the community, which may be another reason for the complaints.
While all of these statements are based on personal experiences of players, it is important to note that Silksong was just released less than a week ago. Many users mentioned that these complaints may be too early and will be addressed as the game progresses.
Hollow Knight: Silksong is now available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. To stay up to date with the latest information about the game, check out our article below!
