"So if you die to a powerful enemy or tricky platforming section, you're likely to get sent back pretty damn far. However, there is one bench that's tucked away in a corner of the map that offers a moment's rest...but it's actually rigged with a spiked trap that will absolutely kill you if you sit down on it without taking the proper precautions."
"However, if you survive being impaled by the trap, or don't sit down on the bench right away, you can disarm the whole thing by walking over to the left side of the bench and breaking a lever that triggers the whole thing. Then it can function like a real bench. Sorry to anyone who, unfortunately, went in blind and found themselves on the wrong end of a spike trap."
Hollow Knight: Silksong features benches that heal and act as checkpoints. Benches are scarce in Hunter's March, making death especially punishing. One concealed bench in a corner is rigged with a spiked trap that kills players who sit without precautions. Players who approach expecting respite can be impaled, creating viral clip moments. The trap can be disarmed by walking to the bench's left side and breaking a lever that triggers the spikes. After disarming, the bench functions normally as a healing checkpoint. Players should approach unknown benches cautiously to avoid unexpected death.
