Bilewater is infamous. It’s a large, disgusting zone on the opposite facet of the already irritating Sinner’s Highway that you may stumble into pretty early on in Act 1 of Silksong, and which is required for those who ever need to see the sport’s Act 3. There are various the explanation why Bilewater is loathesome: it has many obnoxious enemy varieties that may ambush you and destroy your day, there are many spikes you possibly can fall on and damage your self, and notably, it is stuffed with maggot-infested water that can cease you from therapeutic and regenerating silk. Bilewater is terrible.
However other than the grub-water, some of the standout horrors of Bilewater is its lack of benches. There’s one bench means, means down on the backside of Bilewater, within the Bell Beast station. At first, you could be tricked into pondering there’s a second bench nearer the highest lefthand facet of the zone however, shock! It is a lure. Not a bench in any respect. Down into the maggot water you fall.
So…uh…is that it? Is the Bell Beast bench actually the one bench in Bilewater? Do you actually need to do your entire zone, and the lengthy, agonizing run again as much as its boss over rivers of maggot-infested goop, previous piles of spikes and exploding bug enemies and people terrible issues that belch poison at you, all with no break?

The quick model is that the hidden Bilewater bench is situated behind a breakable wall on the far right-hand facet of a cavern, previous a large pool of maggot soup on the backside of a pit. Break the wall and drop down via one other pit, then break one other wall in your left to seek out the key bench.
