How does Cursed end?

A "cursed ending" typically refers to a specific, often challenging, alternate conclusion in video games, notably the "Twisted Child Ending" in Hollow Knight: Silksong, achieved by defeating the final boss while remaining afflicted with a curse obtained from the Twisted Bud, which severely restricts healing and abilities, leading to a tragic or bittersweet outcome before the game returns to a state where other endings can be pursued. It's an Act 2 ending, requiring players to embrace the curse instead of curing it, making the final fight much harder but locking them out of Act 3 until the curse is lifted on the save file.
