Can I Survive the Deadly Traps of Cogwork Core? Silksong

Welcome back to the Silksong playthrough! In this episode, we continue exploring the mechanical Cogwork area after defeating the Cogwork Dancer. The path forward is anything but straightforward, with moving platforms, spikes, saws, flying enemies, shortcuts, and plenty of confusing routes to figure out. Our exploration eventually leads to a strange encounter in the Citadel, where we learn about a quest involving rare ingredients and a mysterious oil that can increase our damage. We also discover new routes, a fast-travel point, more NPC dialogue, and some interesting lore before calling it a day.
