So you can talk about it instead of playing it.

Why did it flop?

>>719804853 (OP)
Just got it on steam faggot, see ya later alligator!

I'm finally downloading
Thank the Pale King
Sorry to all my bros who are still stuck

Bell Beast is harder than Hornet 1

cause noone can buy it

No.
But Lace 1 is

The Hornet porn is about to go even further beyond.

>>719804853 (OP)
I'm at work so I've only played it for like 5 minutes. The Steam Deck OLED is truly the best platform to experience Silksong.

Moss mother was fun :)
I love this game already

>>719807026
Does it have HDR support

>>719807026
>not playing it on Nintendo Switch 2 instead

I would have bought it if the game was called Silkthong.

Is the first game really that good to warrant all the hype and 33 (as of this moment) different threads on /v/?

i peeped the credits and the last person they thank is the person who was terminally ill and designed a character

that was really sweet

Holy fuck bros

How is Christopher Larkan so good?

do I need to play the 1st game?

>>719807617
Yes
Its a direct sequel

Got baited into playing animal well not falling for it again

Music is like 10 times better than in the original. I think the composer thought that they were making shit nobody cares about with HK but here he realized that it's the most wishlisted game ever so he really tried

>>719807968
Yeah bought the soundtrack bundle for this one

Bros... I beat PoH but I keep dying in Silksong...

>>719807617
No, you likely burn yourself out, HK is too big and this one apparently is even bigger

>>719807786
It's not a sequel, so it's perfect for people that never played the original

Finished the game already. It's only 3 hours.
Silksong dies in the end
Hollow Knight becomes evil
You control their son in the end

Heal whenever you have two damaged masks, not four.
You heal three masks a heal.

What if selksong was a girl?

I'm getting filtered by the Bell Beast. Why am I so bad at videogames.

>>719805854
I died once trying to get hornet's meme dive to work., the blud telegraphs every he wants to do, just stay in the middle of the screen so phase three can't cheese you with an unavoidable hit

>>719807548
way to out yourself, retard

>>719808506
>I'm getting filtered by the Bell Beast. Why am I so bad at videogames.
It's defintely harder than HK, you're not bad you're getting better.

ive cleared out pretty much everything i could find up until the lace fight
found the ant merchant but i didnt buy anything off of him, the little throwing dagger seems fine enough to me for now, especially with the crafting kit buff. there's a secret wall off to the left in the big vertical area in the hunters march with the wind gust, gotta nail bounce and air dash to get up there early though.
honestly the hardest thing so far has been the ant arena fight there shakra shows up to help, i died like 4 times just because of all the shit on screen

>>719808817
Did you kill the mole?

>same shit as the first game
What the fuck. /v/ said this was going to be game of the century.

>>719808817
How did the hell did you reach her that fast. How many hours have you clocked in?

is it just hollow knight but female? i enjoyed 1 play through of hollow knight

>can only equip the compass OR the magnet upgrade
This shit better get a second slot FAST

>>719804853 (OP)
I want to try but hollow knight bored me midway so I never finished it

>>719808817
I just found Lace fight. Pretty hard but also quite fun fight so far

>>719808874
havent seen anything like that so far, probably the 1 weird path i missed

>>719808990
3 hours or so, although my gamer sense about where to go is pretty on point so i didnt end up stuck or having to backtrack much

>>719804853 (OP)
Only bad thing about the game are the redditors farming reddit gold in the steam reviews

I'm playing on linux, GOG version, does anyone have issues on some cutscenes?
Like the travel cutscene goes at 10fps and the sounds cuts off 2 seconds in
the same happened with the intro cutscene where the second half it was on mute and dropping frames like crazy

>>719809140
>havent seen anything like that so far
It's located up and left to the bone village. You reach it from the place you get your first spider-power.
It requires you to pogo off of two flies to reach it.
The mole takes like 30 hits to kill and you can only hit it once before needing to hide from its attacks.
There's a locked door in the area as well, I'm currently grinding beads to buy the key to it.

This is why they didn't let journalists have the game

>>719809281
100%, journos are NOT ready for the platforming.

>>719809281
I'm actually getting filtered by the fucking platforming in this game.
That never happened in HK early on.

moss mother butt

IS SHAKRA BLACK-CODED???
OR BROWN GIRL AMAZONESS???

IMPORTANT QUESTION

>FREE upskirts
What were they thinking?

>>719809525
You are crazy bro

Im still getting filtered in the ant area

this animation is prerendered. you can see the video compression in this losless PNG

>>719809268
ahh i will check it out next time i go back to the village with 500 prayerbux

>>719809649
Did HK do the same thing for the beetle ride animation?

I’ve never played Hollow Knights and I’m not going to play Silksong, but there’s a question about the game I’ve always wanted to know.

They’re bugs, right? Does the game take place in somebody’s backyard? Or is this a fully fantastical world with no allusion to ours.

>>719809649
Yeah first game is like that too for the fast travel, always stuck out.

>>719807446
You can find the guy if you just keep exploring. It is sold to you like in the first hollow knight. If you die, stuff like enemies reset and you can rest on a bench and go back to where your silk corpse is, to farm money.

>>719809281
>>719809370
WHY DOES THE POGO HAVE TO GO IN AN ANGLE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>719809819
>Or is this a fully fantastical world with no allusion to ours.
It's this one.

>couldn't buy the game
>pirated the game

>>719808196
>It's not a sequel, so it's perfect for people that never played the original
It is way faster and better than original HK. going from silk song to hk will feel awful.

>>719809281
Came to this thread to bitch about this and the FUCKING ANT ASSASINS if it had the alucard backdash it would be kino but this hunter's march shit is pissing me off

>>719809905
https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Hollow_Knight:_Silksong#Save_game_data_location
Bookmark this site. It will save your sanity in the future.

The game so far is significantly harder. If you didn't play HK, I could see someone getting frustrated very easily by SS. Many basic enemies hit for 2 hearts.
I've also found one jumping puzzle section, and two sub-sections that I was able to reach by using the downward air poke on an enemy

Great so far.

Im just about done

DASH UNLOCKED BABY

>>719810016
Yeah I am legitimately surprised at how much Ive died in this game.

goddamn I think I'm getting filtered by her

This shit is already "That Part"

>trying to get accustomed to the finicky divekick pogo for platforming over spikes
>very aggressive enemies
>single straight fucking line and the nearest bench is outside the area

I was having fun before this but I'm getting filtered so hard right now

>>719810086
SHE CAN BOTH DASH AND RUN HOLY SHIIIIIT

How do I beat the marrow boss

where the fuck is my controller?

Only the sticks work for some reason but not the buttons

Tried enabling or disabling steam input

>>719810198
you have to use prayer beads to unlock controller support

i killed the big spooger above bone bottom, it was mildly annoying

being able to edge-cancel heals and lose your resources is hilarious but i hope they patch it

>>719810283
kek

>>719810124
just dive attack, shes grounded 90% of the time

THE FLEAS ARE SO CUTE AAAAAAA

>>719810183
the bell beast? you have to unlock silkspear first

>>719810086
dash is found where?

>>719804853 (OP)
I VASTLY prefer the Knight’s pogo to Hornet’s weird diagonal spike. Chaining them to bounce off platforms is way more finicky than in HK.

>>719810086
Bro spoil me.
How long did you unlock it? 3 hours?

>>719810439
Above lava area through the ant area.
There's an arena you have to fight through.
>>719810483
3 hours sounds about right. I am taking my sweet time, however.

>>719810426
no the one after. that does 2 hits or jump attack

The menu music and 'select setting' chime sounds like old Kingdom Hearts. Especially the jingle. I like it.

>>719809984
Thanks but it doesn't seem to work for some reason. I started a new game on save file 2 on the steam copy, and it appears as a dat file right next to my pirated save in that folder, but I can't get it to actually appear when launching through steam

>>719810467
yeah I'm gonna have to refund, this is hollow knight 0.5

>>719810086
it's so great
>>719810483
pretty quickly, i think things aren't in a linear order

>>719810467
>>719810597
You can change her pogo

>>719810376
Yea finally. Feels like facing Hornet for the first time in the first game (but significantly harder)

>>719810580
Ah, that's a classic issue.
You solve it by creating a new save, as you did, then deleting the file and replacing it with the pirated save while the game is open. Load the newly created save and it should load your pirated save instead of the original save (which you deleted).
Does that make sense? Tell me if it doesn't.

>>719810467
yeah it's great
pogo was so cheap in the first game that they had to make every boss jump high randomly so you couldn't spam it

>>719810086
IS THERE A DASH JUMP

>when hornet moves from a stop, or turns, the animation is like Alucard from SOTN
GOTY, I like little details.

Just beat the silk beast and still havent seen a point to shell shards other than the one donation thing in town once.

Did I miss something?

>>719810747
it's not a short-platform thing, at least easily, but yes.

How do I defeat the ding dong sneed worm

>>719809525
Artificially lengthening the game by making players get distracted and die more often from Hornet's erotic featureless figure.

>>719810747
Yes.

>>719810858
it's just the bushbug from the first game
it's attrition mostly

>>719810725
I just figured it out before I saw your reply lol but I still appreciate it thank you

Why doesn't steam ban every award farmer from the forum? Every new game it's the same crap spammed ad hominem

@STEAM @GABEn
DO SOMETHING

I'm only like half an hour in but I like how vocal Hornet is. She even talks during dialog.
Knight was this silent, efficient murder machine while Hornet is a complete opposite, she vocalizes all of her moves, the way she vaults over edges of platforms and "trips" when you switch moving left to right, she seems infinitely more emotive and almost "sloppy".
Very different experience.

THE FUCKING TRAPPED BENCH LMAO

FUCK YOU AUSTRALIAN KIKES

>>719810763
I was just thinking that, the little backdash she does when you turn around looks so cool.

THIS FAT FUCK AT THE START I'M NOT GONNA FIGHT HIM YET

journos are gonna cry about the bell beast aren't they

also, the dash is very very good, you are more agile than the first game and also you can do a continuous sprint with it if you want. and the down slash move is very useful cause it's diagonal.

>>719810824
You will find blacksmith who can craft tools and traps for you later. At least one of the trap requires shards to refill the gauge

>>719810995
You're welcome, anon! It feels good seeing actual people together for once instead of the usual negativity bait shitposters.

>>719811042
feels like the little monologue about the beast in the intro is gonna play off that

>>719808991
Yes, you spend the first hour swiping on dating apps and deciding what food to have delivered

I’ve died like 3 times in an hour lol. Only once to a boss.

just played 2 hours of it and unlocked sprint ability
it sure is more hollow knight
i do miss the pogo jumps tho

The dash+sprint feels sooo good bros
This is what HK needed traversal that feels fun

And the ledge grab jump is kino

>>719811086
I've heard there are some games that steam encrypts the save file and you can't transfer saves from pirated copies, is that right?

When are they going to patch the game and add a proper downwards attack?

>>719809923
grown man made this post

I left off after beating bell beast and I can’t play for another 6 hours…

>>719811265
Not entirely; Steam doesn't do that as far as I'm aware, but developers can encrypt saves to prevent tampering.

combat is even more fun than the first game, because hornet is more agile and you even have new skills/unlocks

this and e33 will fight for goty probably.

>>719811292
Unlock it ;)

Im not joking btw

>>719810141
I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD you finally reach the end and it's a goddamn TRAP BENCH

I'm tilting so hard what the fuck kind of hateful monster designed this game

hornet is confirmed void?

>>719810467
Think of it less like a pogo and more like a dive kick.

I like the spear

>>719811534
It's "VREN", with a 'V'.

What the fuck was TC thinking making tjis game so much harder than the first one

I have beaten PoH and Im fucking dying to the first two areas

I had trouble with the Bell Beast. It's fucking over for me or what

>>719807446
Team Cherry are retards that hate maps

>>719811631
see >>719809848

>>719810141
This seems like a mid-game area, I'm am actually shocked how precise the platforming is and how much health the enemies have here.

>>719811075
Havent missed him yet though?
So paranoid after the first game

what the fuck is wrong with the ants, jfc

>>719811664
Doesn't change what I said. HK handled maps similarly and it was stupid

The normies are getting filtered lol

This fucker will filter millions.

>hinduism
google "rosary" based retard-kun

the dash is really good, plus you can sprint all the time with it, and in the air you can get to the ground faster to get attacks in after a dodge

hornet is basically like vergil and presumably you get much more than a dash in the game.

How do you get hornet to say SHAW?

>>719811265
there are games where your steam id is in the save and pirated games use a steam emulator with a random id so if you put it into your real steam account it won't match
but, there's usually a settings config file for the pirated games where you can setup the fake account to use your steam id so you won't have that problem

>>719812067
Do you get iframes with the dash like in HK

>>719811665
Motherfucker I had more fun playing the Path of Pain than trying to do this stupid fucking divekick platforming. I am about to throw everything I own out the window this game is infuriating. I know I'm going to log a thousand hours in it.

I died to a miniboss(?) like 4 times in a row

>>719809281
These things are horrible

>>719804853 (OP)
i played and enjoyed the hell out of Hollow Knight years ago and I never understood the reverence and anticipation for "Silksong".
simply put I do not give a shit about it.
i'll play when i can get it for 5 bucks.

>>719812158
the mole? yeah same

>map system is still dogshit, same as the first game
>compass seems to be mutually exclusive with other yellow slot charms
Why does Team Cherry insist on the map being fucking terrible?

Now that the dust has settled

What is the first real filter of the game bros?

the game is very fun but it WILL filter the cuphead game journos who cant do basic movement.

Is it possible to buy the game now or are there still errors?

>>719812313
the bell beast, if you dont wait to see if it jumps people will just get filtered assuming they dont dive attack it. it's a patience test not a dps test.

>>719811598
shu up it's fren

not going to play until all missables list are out, i will not restart this shit again like hollow knight

Bell Beast killed me once by comboing me in phase two. It does double damage, but it’s telegraphed. It’s basically the same boss as moss charger but you can’t knock it back and there’s bouncing projectiles with the bells.

HORNET TALKS LIKE A HAG
AND SHE KEEPS FUCKING CALLING BUGS SIRS

I THOUGHT SHE WAS A TEENAGER

>>719812481
Which missables were important in HK? Other than letting Zote die.

>people already got filtered by the easy as fuck Path of Pain that was only tricky at the very final part
These red pogo spots are going to FILTER millions.

>>719812597
Anon she is a hag how could you think of her as a teenager

is there seriously no bench in the ant area before the mini boss encounter where map bitch helps? died twice but redoing the platforming encounter is pissing me off and i just fucked up and lost 200 beads

haven't gotten to hear enough yet but the first area sounded like Divinity Original Sin 2 and that's cool

>>719812676
it's not that bad but i could see how if you're using a controller with a shitty d-pad (like xbox) it could be annoying

It can’t be THAT good, right?

protip: if you grab a ledge then press jump at the right time, you get a boosted jump.

not necessary but it can be useful

>>719812701
holy fvcking based

>>719812780
that's high praise

>>719804940
Bros?

>>719812770
wait for him to jump, if he does run over then stab, if not, poke him once

>>719812770
just stay near the low hanging part so he can't jump. hit him once, run away so he borrows, hit him when he pops up, repeat

How's the movement in Silksong? I liked Hollow Knight but it was way too slow.

Am i the only one who is disappointed? The dash is very clunky, down slash sucks and i hate the quest system. I feel like i came into the game not expecting anything revolutionary but i‘m still let down

>>719812816
Ive actively starting to aim for the corner of ledges because popping up vertical sections using it feels great.

>>719812770
Yeah it was hard to judge when to jump away or walk under him. He has a lot less health than you'd think though. Obviously spam all your throwing weapons into him right at the start then smack him like five or six times.

>>719812770
The bit after him is very ‘fun’ as well

>>719812904
i'm like two hours in and still don't have a dash so it feels extremely slow. i've heard you get one at some point though

>If you fail this jump where you entirely rely on enemy position you go back to the start

What the fuck man

>>719812816
>not necessary
That's what you think

>>719812904
the dash is now also a dash

>>719812904
Faster but not as tight as i would like

So were all in agreement that they made Silksong harder right?
I genuinely do not think I've had this much trouble with HK early on

>>719804853 (OP)
the only complaint I have is that i cant extend the spike attack
got me hit a few times because i kept expecting it to go further when holding it down

>>719812954
Portrait of Ruin had quests too.

>>719812994
there's an elevator right below you my guy

>>719804853 (OP)
Eatan my ramen and taking a break. So far it is breddy good. I shouldn't have replayed HK last week and should have just gone in fresh because the diagonal pogo took me way too long to adjust for since I was still in HK mode.

Where can I find the dash ability?

ai lai lai lai lai
meshkare meshkare
the little red ants on the floor will carry off shell shards

>>719812994
Don't worry about it. Even if you get to the other side, get passed the acid spitting bug, and actually get into the worm ways you can't progress since at the end of the first section of the worm ways there is a jump that is literally impossible to make without a dash or double jump. It's over a spiked pit with nothing to pogo off of.

>>719813089
>[shit game] had quests too.
That‘s not a good thing. Fetch quests don‘t suit hollow knight at all

A reminder that you heal in mid-air.

>>719813248
>PoR
>shit
I should've realized you were just baiting.

Story-wise is it a sequel or a prequel?

>>719813258
i honestly feel like this heal is all around easier than HKs

>>719813229
>without a dash
The dash is only a little further into the game.

How old is hornet supposed to be? Hallownest looks like an ancient ruin and there's thousands of vessels in the abyss, and the old man at Dirtmouth doesn't remember it being populated. But some of the residents/ Dreamers are/were still alive. It's hard to get a sense of scale for how long the infection had taken over

Is the game map changing arbitrarily or was I always able to go directly to the docks and skip the hunter's march? I feel like I took a harder route than I was supposed to but I don't recall being able to platform across that lava bath when I first got to that edge of the marrow

its over....

>>719813327
I'm getting hit a lot more in Silksong though.

chained ogre is literally impossible

>>719813642
They are so goddamn cute.

DLC when?

>>719813569
if he charges you, jump over (or do a down slash over him if you can)
if he burrows to to the other side to jump, run under him and then hit him before he digs again. if you stand in the right spot you can get 2 or even three hits off that
if he screams, he's gonna drop two bells you have to jump over, can hit him once if you're fast but a bit risky

those are his only attacks, just have to know how to handle those and not get greedy

>>719813723
Ever been to a church bro?

>>719813657
works better, even. it gets rid of your attack's recovery.

0w0 what's this

Post your reaction to the Hollow Knight boss

>>719813723
Well everyone I’ve seen so far are pilgrims

The diagonal pogo is complete ass. I finally got the first crest that gives you a normal pogo and I'm never switching back.

>>719813643
Just got that myself. That whole area is up there for being most annoying. Fuckers wont come down and its a climb up using the shitty downwards pogo strike.

jfc I’m getting filtered. Long platforming section into an enemy rush is tough

Anyone remember what screen this is on? I want to go back here since this jump seemed impossible before. Now I can do it with the hover.

>>719813387

Does the Bone Bottom(?) theme remind anyone else of the Code Veronica save room theme?

>>719814119
Oh I fucking hated that part. Especially after that fat red fuck miniboss.

I THINK it's skippable, if you take the alternate route out of the right hand side of The Marrow and directly into Deep Docks.

You get your dodge there which makes movement in the air much easier

>equip the magnet
>the spikes now delete the beads
for what purpose?
also, why is there a limit on the shards too

I'm bored already
when does this get fun?
I'm about go over 2 hours refund limit

If journalist played this game, it would be funny

Buy now or wait for a sale?

>>719814126
It's not impossible without the hover, I did it without the hover. IDK where it is in Hunter's.

>>719814341
>why is there a limit on the shards too
because they're hearts

Game time!

>>719804853 (OP)
Uhhh im 1 boss in and I can't enjoy this game now unless I beat hollow knight because I have no idea wtf is going on.

How’s performance?

>>719814496
I beat hollow knight and have no idea what's going on. I did not beat the dlc before I lost my save though. what did I miss gang?

>>719814387
Depends if you want to be part of a major cultural moment in videogames

WHEN IS THE CRACK

>>719804853 (OP)
Is /v hating on the game because it's popular, and /v can't help but be contrarian?

How the fuck do you beat the big red berserker boss?
I guess you run under him when he leap swings and run away when he normal swings but his startups for both are identical

>>719814593
this is not an argument at all. how many major cultural moments in video games do you remember retard?

>>719814629

How is the nonlinearity so far?

Did we any of you reach the mantis claw moment yet

>>719814167
Oh thanks, I was wondering how to beat that.

>can jump half a screen and swing for additional 30%
>can randomly swing from the ground
am I just not getting something? how tf do you actually avoid his shit? there's no tell if he's jumping or just swinging

oh. weird. nothing else you buy from her needs to be equipped though right. Pretty sure everything else i got from her just applied itself to the map.

>>719814376

also
>can only equip compass OR currency magnet
Team Cherry outdid themselves

>Dead end here
>other way is blocked by a big spider stuck in some webs

Where the fuck do I go? Why is team cherry so terrible at guiding the player? You think after an hour youd get some new exciting power up that would get the ball rolling on where to go next.

>>719814376
retard

Jesus christ what is with this games bosses dealing 2 hit points this early on? Im like 4hrs into the game and only got 1/4 hp up shards. Is Hornet really this pathetic?

>>719804853 (OP)
Died to the bell beast 3 times but on the 4th try I got him.

Now there is the question of the 3rd Mossberry. I gained one early on. I saw another one too high up to reach. And the 3rd was in a secret area right near the quest giver.

Now that I have r1 spear maybe I can go down and jump and spear the seed from the side. But I have a feeling I will need another ability.

I have some rosaries now and bought the first 2 maps from the lady. But now I beat the beast and she moved. Man. I just wanna have my compass without farming for it.

Anyone else having trouble with map on gamepad?
I can easily remap the key, but pressing it in game does fuckall

>>719815202
Which gamepad? only xbox and playstation ones are supported. if you are using anything else, you need probably xpadder.

>>719815138
Go to big spider stuck in webs and go left and up. Get r1 ability to open webs. Profit

>>719814660
>>719814660
Stand still before his tells (poke once, then FREEZE), jump away if he does the two-swing tell, run under if he does the jump. If you’re moving away when he does the jump, you’re already fucked.

unironically though, for games like this it's difficult as fuck to give directions to those asking for help because of it's level design.

>>719815483
No city, just our tears of frustration

Just did the Lace fight and the game already feels so much more fluid than HK, I think I'm in for a wild ride

>>719815138
ABSOLUTE RETARD REFUND

>>719815509
what spoil? It's just a low iq metroidvania

>>719815464
so we agree if you get dash before beating her you didn't beat her right?

>>719815269
>>719815321
thx anons

>>719815284
I have a bad sense of direction, but Ive beaten other metroidvanias without problem. HK and this game just look so samey everywhere you go it all blends together.

dont stab his face, use the wind and go up.

I remember beating a boss that looks just like that character on the cover here and shortly after I got bored and quit
Braindead kidslop

I'm sorry but what the FUCK happens if you don't accept the cloak quest? Is it fucking game over? How do you get out?

>normies and anons getting filtered by the fucking bell boss
pales in comparison to this bastard.

boring

where do i go to spend shell shards
i'm maxed out and can't find a vendor

That asshole above the prison blocking the way to Hunter's Marsh is a CRAZY difficulty spike. Wonder if you're meant to come back later with more skills instead of pogoing behind him over and over like I had to.

the glide + air traversal is pretty f'n cool, that plus the better dash and even early game mobility is a big step up over the first game.

also, you can perma run with the dash, no need for crystal heart to do fast traversal.

>>719815936
im there now, pretty sure its balanced around having dash

Bros... the retard above the prison is too strong for me...

>>719815856

in the ant area, get to the long vertical area with the wind blowing in the middle. it's the bottom right passage

>>719815936
He really wasn't that hard, I bursted him down with the spear and he only attacked like 4 times
The area after him is a bitch though.

getting filtered by the arena round after the platforming

ATTENTION GAMERS

I must inform you that the images presented in this game depicts a FEMALE main character under the context of fantasy-action. The game is WOKE. Do not play this game.

>game locks you in an area until you collect 25 needles
Are they serious with this shit?

>>719816008
Silksong

>>719814807
if this fucker shows up as a normal enemy later on and you DON'T get void dash in this game I'm sending a dead pig to team cherry's office

Guys I'm fucking trapped in this zone, There's a bug that offers a cloak upgrade for better movement but without it I can't get out and I have to grind fucking 25 things! Is there a way out I'm not seeing?

I am scared of the late game difficulty bros

I bought it for my mother because she liked Hollow Knight.
How is it difficulty-wise? Easier or Harder than Hollow Knight?

>>719816308
Harder.

it's really fun, but I wonder how crazy things will get with the movement options you have now.

>>719816176
wrong game kid

>>719815723
didn't work, I bought the map and it seems like it fucking spawned behind the door you can only open from the other side, pretty bullshit

am i supposed to figure out how to use the air vents or is it some ability i don't have yet

FUCK THIS BOSS
>FUCK THIS BOSS
Jesus christ it took me at least 10 tries to get it right.

It‘s genuinely shit. I can‘t believe it. 6 years of waiting for this.

Genuine question, is there actually any woke shit pushed into the game? I've seen nothing so far which is good.

>>719816167

but yeah it feels very shitty mmorpg quest

Are we going to pretend this is not Metroid for zoommutts who grew up with mobile tier games?

You are 28, you are a fucking loser and a ritual poster. Kill yourself you stupid nigger mutt.

Okay someone spoil me for anyone who tried it

Is it worth grinding for the simple key to unlock THAT spot
The one with the vomit
You know the one

>>719815116
Compass is completely unnecessary if you have any kind of basic map reading ability

How is the soundtrack? Is it so good that the bundle is worth it?

Time for classical pogo action.

The ants DON'T fuck around

>the soundtrack is one of the best selling items on steam as well
What the fuck
This is the first time ive seen that sort of stuff

Never played this game but checking steamdb.info
>original hollow knight game peak ~70K
>this release peaks over ~530K
that's huge, maybe I'm not young enough to see this as the gem it is but its impressive that apparently only 3 people worked on this and it turned out to be a bigger success than their last game.

goes to show you don't need AAA, just a dedicated enough fan base

>>719816470
Idk but did you kill the mole? He drops a big chunk.

>I'm not young enough to see this as the gem it
Because it is not.

Being ignorant is not bliss. Zoomers are unironically killing the industry

why does she sit like that

>>719816626
Also helps that the game runs flawlessly in 2025

Should I just give up? Failed Bell Beast for 30 minutes.

>>719804853 (OP)
it's disappointing so far. more of the same shit. no innovation

>>719816692
You're probably out of the target age range too, then.

Not everything has to appeal to people who've already played games, this might be someone focal point rn growing up. Games like these are like indie studios not relying on hollywood to give them coverage and being some kind of reviewer saying "Actually it sucks" doesn't mean anything.

I was determined and extremely early on I killed that ceiling spitter boss on the top left of the map near the beginning. It was worth it because the eventual reward (you need a simple key, grind for it.) is a crest to give to us new combat moveset, and remove the angled down attack

Jesus fucking christ finally. I know I'm rusty and I was probably supposed to do this fight later, but TC isn't pulling any punches.

Zoomers are killing gaming. Games shouldn't appeal to everyone, Silksong appeals to everyone.

Mobile tier garbage, stop being such a fucking nigger. Your kid is also a failure

How OP can you get before fighting the first boss?

THE OST IS GOD TIER
It reminds me of Skyrim, Hollow Knights was good but this is so much better it's as if Christopher Larkin has been possessed

>>719815936
>Wonder if you're meant to come back later with more skills
The game doesn't lock you into the room when you encounter him, 100% intended to make you shit yourself when you first run into him but burn him into your brain for later

>>719817090
what

>>719817138
Go to the bench where the map lady was the first time. Go left of the bench, and just do a loop. There are 5 pilgrim bugs to kill. It'll take maybe 10 minutes to grind out 500 beads but it's worth it. You're looking for a graveyard.

So can you even SHAW? I know you can GARAMA with R3

>>719817071
Is it bombastic you stupid nigger? super bombastic ost

>>719816964
The beast crest seems cool but the down pogo is even worse than the default, which sucks there's a lot of platforming based on it.

I need a mild spoiler.

Normally, I leave sidequests til endgame, because it gives me something to do once I have the “main kit” fleshed out. But I’m worried the non-divekick down slash is locked behind a sidequest.

If it is, which one? I NEED that shit. That becomes priority one.

You also found the mask shard before the door?

Fucking Bell Worm fucks me over without a Dash
I swear Hornet had a Dash in HK

mosshome to the top of the spike thing on the map

I cant do the boss that just hits you with the bone in front of him for 2 masks.
Too slow to move underneath him when he jumps.
Pogo is retarded and doesnt give you enough momentum to go past him, his attack also hits you mid air.
Is this a case of go back here later? Like what the fuck this is harder than all of HK, like fighting watcher knights on speedrun with 0 upgrades.

reminder you can hold the glide and then dive attack, for when you get to balloon land.

>>719817107
Doesn't it just give you a little silk?

>>719817287
Coward shit. Beat him and just did the fight with mapwife too. I will bang my head against and wall you put in front of me. I will NEVER come back later.

>>719817584
I was spooked by SHAAAAW, not her sprite.

I am crashing the fuck out in this area right now. Is there another route I can take or somethign other than hunter's march? The pogoing is already fucking hard and then the room at the end where you fight with the map shopkeeper just kills me every time.

>>719817656
beast.. huh?
i only had moss mother lol

>>719817639
I can already tell it's going to be the #1 complaint. Feels like I'm being forced to use the reaper crest because it has a functional down pogo.

>>719817639
I find it incredibly fun and the flip she does after hit is sex

>>719817606
He's 100% a "come back later", the zone behind him is a massive difficulty spike compared to the one you get to by going to the bottom right, but he's beatable. Just pogo behind him as soon as he pops up and let him swing at air. Only trick is not getting corner trapped.

>>719817691
its super easy on keyboard

>>719815936
It feels like you should have a dash of some kind because if you attack him and you go right after he digs you’re pretty much fucked

>>719816964
>contact damage
How is this shit still a thing in 2025?

>>719817731
Literally top-right of where you are located.
Apologies for the spoiler.

How do I acquire the float ability? Feels like I'm softlocked in the lava area. Can't go back without it.

he cute

>>719811042
Hmm. I liked HK's silent protag thing.

>>719817639
Its so fucking awful but feels like its requires to learn eventually.
Its genuinely the worst part of silksong, i'd rather have no pogo than this shit and game made with no pogo in minds like all metroidvanias.

Although pogo is what made HK special. For me at least, its hillarious.

>>719817691
You just have to git gud, also no fucking benches after that so if you’re low hp then you’re fucked

>>719817691
Deep Docks first. Go down to the bottom from where you entered in the Marrow.

>>719817691
sounds like you need to use keyboard.

HIM
!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>719817795
It also barks when you come back after not seeing it

I honestly quit when they told me to farm 25 common enemies to progress. That's some Ubisoft-level bullshit. What retard thought it's a good idea to add monster farming quest in a fucking platformer? And the worst thing is that these enemies only start dropping the item after you take the quest.

>>719817776
Yeah. You can do it by staying behind him after pogoing over his head but feels like you should be dashing through.

>boss hits for 2 damage

ooooo aaaiee lee laei laei laei

I literally just bought the game because it was $20 to fuel some shit slinging on /v/ but this game is decent. However I feel I should play the first one as I am not getting some of the story.

>>719817603
i had somehow completely missed the silkspear shit

im at shellwood fighting sister splinter and it feels like ive missed so much shit. I havnt found the needlesmith, ive only found 2 mask shards, and i have a single skill and only 1 red, 1 blue, and 2 yellow tools. according to achievements ive unlocked 5/10 fast travel locations so I assume im at least a decent chunk through the game but I havnt gained a tangible upgrade in power in hours and the bosses that im facing seem tuned for a higher progression character

have i missed an area or is the progression curve really this wonky

You can't absorb it, so there's most likely a connection.

really not a fan of these diagonal only down strikes and 3 mask healing

>>719818050

Pale ore was metal touched by Radiance.
Craftmetal is simply metal that is useful for crafting.

Probably a lore/true ending thing for later on.

>>719818245
at a bar in the rainy area. just keep going, its impossible to miss.

>>719817874
They got the key early bypassing steam store death, and now really want to post cool shit on 4chan for (you)s, so speeding through. Get ready for whining and complaining when they finish the game tomorrow evening.

>>719818140
you can find crests which change your moveset. when you get to greymoor go all the way to the left and you will find a place called the chapel of the reaper. clear it and you get the reapers crest which makes your attacks slower, attack in a wider arc, and changes your down swing to be basically the same as hollowknights

>>719817874
i like playing games before streamers so i can watch them play

>>719818248
its impossible to know for sure but I havnt noticed a big change in linearity.

There’s 28 areas in the game? That’s massive.

>>719817898
>everything is about pilgrims and rosary beads
it is now

Uhh, I don't think these cheevo numbers quite add up bros

>>719818167
>>719818246
you can beat him, you just need to focus on divekicking him when he surfaces and either run out of range or get behind him, and keep baiting that move

bro where the FUCK is the map nigger if you missed him?

>>719818050
Depends. Did you get both crests aka new movesets and charm slots? Also a few vendors you probably missed

>>719818167
>>719818246
you are intended to beat him after you unlock the skill to free him. hes this games stag beetle and opens up fast travel after you beat him. just focus on the pogo and running underneath him when he jumps

>>719812329
Real cope comment ngl

If you hold down dash you sprint.

>shakra's music is nowhere as catchy as cornifer's

shit game

>>719818618
I got the crest but no new charm slots. I got baited into buying the tool pouch from the one vendor that you have to pay to access every time thinking it was another slot but it appears to do nothing until i get more red tools i think?

>>719818645
We're not talking about Bell Beast

>>719818167
Ignore all of those anons, rush in and smack him 5 times before he can attack and then lure him under the entrance with the low ceiling. It completely removes his ability to use the jump attack.

>>719818770
Charm slots are from Memory Lockets. Either in shop or found in world.

>>719817791
Found it. You gotta hit the spikes to collect them and finish the quest.

Am I an idiot, where the Fleamaster

>>719817460
Let me know if you find out anon I've been scouring for an answer to this

>>719818645
talking about the ant warrior with the giant bone club that seems to be guarding the entrance to the coral forest

>>719818050
Only 7 so far here
>>719818448
>28 maps

WHAT THE FUCK HOW BIG IS THIS

Harder than Failed Champion.

>>719818896
marrow. there's a giant sign with a flea symbol

>>719818986
See
>>719818829

pogo being diagonal might have been the best change. completely exposed the frauds who relied on it so much

jsut 2nd tried lace. are u guys having trouble with this one lmao its the most hollow knight boss ive seen yet

>>719819076
sadly you unlock normal pogo early on

>>719818995
I know its in the Marrow, but I’ve gone left and right of the Bell Beast and I haven’t seen him

>>719819076
The first games pogo was definitely too easy

Became such a fucking crutch

>>719819105
I killed it first try and I was very surprised at how easy it was, considering I've died 3-5 times to every other boss.

Move here bros?

HOLY SHIT

The game sucks. Quests were mistake.

it's ok

they've overdesigned equipping tools so to be objectively less interesting than charms
ledge grab is annoying
padded the game with fetch quests
too many benches
hornet's hitbox is too big
