Thread 719953269

I died taking this screenshot and this guy disappeared when I was back. Did I fuck up?

admit you want to fuck the bug

I'm already bored.

It's no super metroid.

How many simple keys and locks are in the game? I'm about 60% in and I've found 4 so far

>>719953339
I have found 4 locks and 3 keys.

WTF

I’m getting shat on by literally every boss / arena

Just died, but this boss is fantastic

>rosary holds 60 beads
>it costs 80 beads to string them together
That's a fucking RIP-OFF. I remember playing some other game, maybe Sekiro. There was a similar system, where you could save money by buying pouches. And it first it was a rip-off too, but later you'd get a discount making it a 1:1 trade. So there's no reason not to use it. But unless you get a discount in Silksong, there's no reason TO use those rosary bead assembling machines.

what do i do with the shards? i have 400/400

Just got my second Pale Oil NPC says there is more to find. HUH?

>>719953324
I feel no attraction toward bugs. Now the cats in Nine Sols...

>prominently featured in early footage
>2 fights and 3 interactions
Does it feel like some aspects of Silksong were pushed aside in the name of constantly adding shit to the development to make it bigger

>>719953391
Bosses are the best when its pure pattern recognition and 0 random bullshit.

>>719953406
I hope you remember that if you die a second time and lose hundreds of beads.

>>719953391
Just beat these guys, very fun simple boss.

IT'S TIME

WISH ME LUCK BROS

wheres her bust?.... i was lied to.....

Finally beat Last Judge
Took a whole ten minutes every time to get him to last phase, exhausted. Exploring the Underworks and man is it grim here. I thought the previous area was bad, but this area is 10x worse. Traps everywhere, money everywhere and an enemy with moveset of a boss.

>>719953406
>there's no reason TO use those rosary bead assembling machines.
While I generally agree with you, if you plan to suicide run an area and want to keep your beads safe, it's good. I never used them. I'd rather the game work the other way around. You can pay a tax of 25 or even 50% to recover your shade, like Jiji from game 1

90% of the dev time was dedicated to making random poems for lore streamers to gush over

>>719953436
He's the Hornet of Silksong. He appears more than enough.

>>719953436
No one tell this anon about the true final boss

>>719953436
>2 fights

lmao

>>719953412
Throw them at niggas
unironically
or build a bridge idk

>>719953526
They're not random. They tell you what to do later.

>open the door that the giant bug was banging on
>he runs through it and escaped
uhhhh where the fuck did he go? is it going to kill the pilgrims outside?

Also the elevator down Grand Gate scene was genuinely amazing. I loved it.

Is this area real?

Are you locked out of any endings this time around or can I just try and get everything before getting the endings this time?

>>719953601
how do you open that door?

>>719953626
>lever breaks after I beat the shit out of it
Yeah, that fits.

>>719953269 (OP)
I am utterly fucking sick of the run back to Last Judge.

>>719953436
Hornet didn't show up all that much in the original either

Where the fuck is fucking Hall of Gods?
Act 2 has so many kino bosses that I want to refight all of them. Same with the Judge and Willow.

Team Cherry you god damn cucks.

Exodia has been assembled

>>719953269 (OP)
FUCK THOSE DOGGY THINGS IN SINNER'S ROAD

>hmmm im having a tough time, now that i got a bunch of movement upgrades i should go through early areas and pick up whatever’s hidden to power up
>find 1 mask fragment, 1 good charm and a bunch of trash
bro wheres the fucking metroidvania part?

>>719953387
Yeah. Every fucking arena takes me like five to ten tries. I'm getting filtered so hard. My hands are literally going numb from the carpal tunnel because I'm gripping the controller too hard.

>>719953697
Last judge run back is easy and quick compared to some later on. Some are incredibly cancerous and long, I can only make it to some boss half the time.

>>719953470
FINALLY

Only took me about 13 times of failure at the final boss lol.

>>719953716
dlcs maybe

TROBBIO

>>719953767
There's mandatory bosses that have a run back longer than 40 seconds?

>>719953387
>>719953745
You guys are using tools and skills right?

I fucking finally beat the judge!!

>weapon upgrade is locked behind a timed fetch quest
what the absolute fuck

>>719953667
go the far fields station and start banging around walls
if you wanna kill him make sure you dont hit the door switch before he dies or he just runs out lol

>>719953734
Where are the ingredients? Nothing in the game has dropped any for me, so I presumed it was from the shops/towns maxing them out.

am i supposed to help them now or do i come bak later?

>>719953738
do you not like your command grabs?

People who complain about savage beastfly just dont use tools, a single bomb one shots the adds.
The boss is probably even bigger walkway once you have double jump

>>719953858
You're supposed to explore shellwood and help them

2 dancer fight in act 2 is fun, no bullshit, just learn to dance

also if you wall grab and tap sprint, you can go back up a bit. without jumping

I didn't want to accept but I'm worse than journos.

>Give 300 beads for the camp in the citadel
>Lol thanks for the cash
Why is this kingdom filled with shysters?

>>719953873
>a single bomb
that'd be great if I could find bombs.
Some anon even told me where the bombs are on the map and I can't seem to reach it, no idea how you obtain them.
I already beat beastfly anyway by spamming the boomerang

Just got to Last Judge, I think the complaints about prior bosses are overblown but this one might be justified, not sure how to dodge that big fire attack
>>719953858
You need to clear the next area to help them

>>719953852
One from the moss lady
One from the halfway inn
One from a courier quest in bellhart
One from a boss in sinners rest
One in a secret area above blasted steps

>>719953809
Congrats. It was a tough fight.

I just wish the difficult parts were countered by exploring. Like if you explore, you just get an upgrade that feels like it does nothing.

>>719953937
>has boomerang but no bombs
there is no way this game has that many paths

>immediately broke the bridge for lulz
>nothing happens

I ain't even mad but what the fuck this cost 300 shards lmao

I need my Venomous Harpoons I can't be wasting money on infrastructure

>>719953873
>a single bomb one shots the adds.
What bomb? I have daggers, triple daggers and longnail and they all do shit all even with the poison charm. Needs like 4 hits to kill the little guys so I just let the boss kill em

>everything explored
>act 2
>only one full health upgrade so far

seriously what the fuck

>>719953990
boomerang is in hunters grounds

>>719953464
>>719953439
holy shit the run back from this boss is the most dogshit fucking runback holy SHIT

How am I reading so many people are finishing this in 15 or less hours? Fucking HLTB.com has the time at 11 fucking hours. Is there some kind of early game bad ending I missed? I'm currently 15 hours in and only reached the end of act 1. Is act 2 just a cutscene?

>>719953960
>boss in sinner's rest
I've been through there, into the Mist and Bilewater. Where is this boss I somehow ran past. I did the cockroach guts quests there

>>719953337
Super Metroid? More like Snoozer Metroid. Shit game. Did you know that Hollow Knight 1 has sold more than the entire Metroid franchise combined since 2017?

>>719954031
No it isn't, ignore the big guys and it takes like 10 seconds

>>719954026
I am 99% sure there's only 1 health upgrade and 1 silk upgrade obtainable in the entirety of Act 1.

The Phantom was an excellent boss fight. Also
>it's a way to the citadel without passing through Blasted Steps
Kino.

>>719954029
what in the fuck, i completed that cancerous zone, entirely

>>719953814
qrd?

>>719954049
They are fucking liars, game is massive with shit ton of optional areas

>>719954059
Under the cockroach guy, in this room
Be warned, the boss is a fucking pain

>>719954109
it's a very hidden area
At the top of the gust of wind, to the left there's a seemingly empty room (I think it had shell shards in there initially), left wall of that has a hole to the secret area with an ant merchant that sells the boomerang and a skull charm. Both are S-tier items.

>>719953269 (OP)
I made more fanart
Should i give her milkers? Y/N:

>>719954049
I also don't understand it at all. The youtuber dude who done it in 16 hours in one sitting I understand cos he's a faggot who skips dialogue and cutscenes and rushes the games just to get boss footage but I think everyone else is trolling

>>719954171
No
You should give her arms tho

>>719954171
draw her pregnant

>>719953958
The circle fire?
Equip that one tool that you buy from the Deep Docks vendor, it reduces fire damage by 1, just stay away from it and move along with the circle
The run back is fucking cancer but the boss is actually very forgiving in terms of hitboxes.

>>719954159
>spoiler
ive seen so many ppl with those i thought its a2 after u have double jump

>>719953960
>One in a secret area above blasted steps
How to get there?

is there a way the citadel is connected to the bellways? or any way I can teleport back to the act 1 areas? don't tell me I have to run to and from the slab everytime

>Delicate flower like quest, have to run through half the zones of the game to reach my destination
>But this time with a timer too so you can't take your time

>>719954235
No, I don't even have double jump.
I'm being filtered by the Judge right now

>kill Last Judge after like 15 tries
> it fucking explodes
>I die
>"hehe surely I just need to do the runback one more time, no way I actually need to fight it again
>

I'm hearing conflicting reports so someone spoil it for me is there really an act 3? What's the actual length of the game? I'm worried I'll finish it to fast

>>719954293
there is no act 3 but i feel dlc will be act 3 and be about something else, not about the whole weaver/silk thing

>>719954293
1 act and act 2 is basically just cutscenes and one boss (rip off of radiance) no clue what team cherry were doing for 8 years.

>>719953387
arenas only take me two or three tries, but the bosses are ridiculous

>>719954240
Above the pinstress trainer, you need the harpoon upgrade

How do you open that one room the roars come from in Far Fields?

>you can double press tab to open up the whole map this whole time
I can't believe I didn't know. All that time spent going to inventory wasted.

>>719954091
I'm in act 1 and i have 2 silk upgrades

>>719954096
Where do you see that guy?

>>719954362
OK and time it takes to complete?

>>719954381
there's a dedotaned button for opening map, just check the keybinds options menu. i set it to "4". the only thing that doesnt work is the inventory button

>>719953873
>bombs
What the FUCK are you talking about? I mean I didn't struggle too much with the beastfly once I noticed he takes his own adds out with the vertical attack, but where does one find bombs?
>>719954439
You have to get through the Mist by following the moths

>>719954026
This game is such a chore. Exploration is miserable, most of the hidden shit is beads and or shards and even then it's a small amount.

I just got to Greymoor and I don't really feel like playing anymore. I guess I'm gonna beat it since there isn't anything else I want to play and I hate not finishing games I buy.

>five bells of awakening
Bravo. Team Cherry really outdid themselves with this one.

>>719954483
>he's only at Greymoor
You have no idea yet.

comfy game

Is it just me or does killing the Beast Tyrant give you a damage boost?

>Fight the [spolier]moth at the bottom left of greymoor together with the knight [/spoiler]
>After a few tries decide to do something else because of the retarded runback
>Complete first flea quest
>Decide to travel with caravan and land at boss location with boss nowhere to be found while the knight isn't there either
Did I just skip the boss?

>finally made it to the citadel
>singing bug girl isnt there waiting for me like she said
fuck
shes dead isnt she ;_;

>Magnetite Dice actually triggers quite often
This thing is awesome. Worth using in boss fights.

>>719954380
This one, to be precise.

>>719953391
>Kill one of the robots
>The other one still tries to do the dance alone and its sad as fuck
Cinema

>>719954535
any boss that is skipped can be refought after entering act 2, devs thought of it

Anyone else find this dude? Only thing he does is sing

what gets me most is how awful the game is to control. the shity pogo that eats your input half the time and the weird tool key that is complete jank to use in the middle of a hectic fight and triggers your spell all the time as well.

>>719953386
this section was so fucking kino

>>719954091
I got two and a half silks and one and a quarter mask and I haven't even unlocked the citadel

>>719954650
I did not have craftmetal to make it

>>719953818
>>719954589

I am once again asking how the fuck to get here.

This find the courier quest was actually a lot of fun.

>a boss heals
FUCK YOU

>>719954293
There is an Act 3 and at least five different endings.

How do I get the map for bilewater? Double jump?

>>719954595
what bosses can be skipped? moorwing was the only one I fought on act 2

>>719954747
last judge

>Pimpillo
haha

I'm not really understand the lore atm, but conceptually, defeating a God that's turned its people into an instrument is cool in concept.

>>719953412
Pretty soon you will start using tools that arent the throwing dagger on bosses and you will have 0 and need to go farm more. If you chuck all your throwing knifes it costs you 40 when you rest. The spike trap thing is goated btw get it

>>719954589
Secret passage in the fast travel room, below right platform.

>have to grind 20 bear arses for a critical movement ability
Thank you TC, very cool

>>719954731
I don't remember where I got it but flee that horrible area with 5+ minutes boss run back.

>>719954591
I kneel

Do I need like a key item to beat The Mist or something? It just seems to be going on forever.

>>719954804
anon, you just have to hit the spikes, you get 4 out of an enemy at minimum

>poison
>shreds everything

its this games mimic tear

>>719954724
Just like the good old days of MGSV threads

why the FUCK would they tie tools to a resource when theyre already limited per rest?

>>719954709
>>719954709
>>719954709

H E L P
This is driving me insane

>Died on the last judge runback while getting the ore from it after mapping citadel
NO I CAN'T DO IT AGAIN

>>719954895
they played too much bloodborne

I like the game but I'd just like to get one fucking powerup that makes me feel satisfied for having gotten it.

>>719954839
Didn't notice that, thanks

>>719954049
Finished at 14 hours 10 minutes or so, I'm sure there are a handful of areas left to explore but I did just about everything on the main path + at least a 2h+ detour to some optional area that I could have just skipped.

Helps a lot when you do all the bosses in a few tries at most, last boss took 2 tries, second to last 4 or 5. Hardest fight in the game was a main story gauntlet for me.

WOW he is literally me kek

>>719954895
I hate that shit. Having to farm if you fail too much on a boss is horrible. Disabling that will be one of the first mod I install. Would actually make the architect crest usable.

>>719954895
you mean DeS or bloodborne?
You get a fuck ton from every enemy
If you are running out it means youre too reliant on crutch tools and should get good

>>719954208
cheat engine > lock silk at 10 > play game
or just gitgud idk

>>719953742
This is the dark souls 3 of the series

>>719954965
So did they scrap the huntress completely?

Wow, this room sucked
Still did it first try

While you can argue that bosses doing double damage is fine, I hope TC nerfs the fucking saws and worms down to one damage. It makes exploring suck ass

>>719953269 (OP)
>finally kill the Last Judge
>die while she's dying because the devs, for some fucking reason, decided that the hardest boss of the game thus far NEEDED a fucking kamikaze explosion attack during her death throes
>if you die while the boss is dying your victory doesn't count, so I have to endure the shitty Judge/Drillbug thing/Wind gauntlet AGAIN in hopes of killing the boss that I've already killed again
I've pretty much gotten her moveset memorized and know to run the fuck away after landing the killing blow, but jesus christ that is total bullshit. I can't remember the last time a game pissed me off this much.

>>719953269 (OP)
how to get here in sinners road?

>>719954842
genuinely. completely raped the savage beastfly that is filtering everyone in 3 tries. poison seems to be doing 1/2 of your needle dmg every time, which is kino.

>>719954976
>why are you complaing about bosses taking a million nail hits?! use your tools you retard
>why are you complaining about tools being an incredibly limited resource that you have to farm forever for?! git gud you retard
what the fuck is wrong with the fans of this shitpile?

>>719954667
>the shity pogo that eats your input half the time
Skill issue, 100% success rate for me

I FUCKING LOVE FLEAS BREW

GOD FUCK HOW COULD YOU USE ANYTHING ELSE

how do you niggers use your pins?

>orange
filtered by an ability
>grey
filtered by an enemy
>red

Where is the map for The Slab?

I have the keys, double jump, and instead of fighting the boss First Sinner I want the map before

>all those shitters online complaining about difficulty, demanding a nerf patch

this is why you don't want normalfag audience

>>719955064
I got to 1 HP after that shit. Very lucky.

GARAMA!

>>719955185
The excessive run backs and sparse rosaries drops are valid complains. Whoever complains about parkour is just bad.

>>719955180
its in a hidden tunnel in the slab, its tattooed on a dead beg, lmao prison break reference

No, she's another beast.

WHERE IS DOUBLE JUMP?!?!?!?!?!?!?

>>719955139
>incredibly limited resource
your inventory can hold like 400 by default
the only time I got it under 90% was when I used it for a couple of quests in bone bottom

So what does freeing the green nigga in Sinner's Road actually do? I haven't run into him since
Is it just lmao -1 key

Ability required

I just unlocked the throwing knives and I'm really not a fan of recharging it with currency. I hated this shit in sekiro and if there is nothing to mitigate the costs here I'll probably hate it in silksong too. The rest of the game is great so far.

is this a fucking joke?

>>719955160
Really ? Doesnt that just make you attack faster ?

>>719953387
>Get dropped into an arena
>Game makes me fight an enemy I haven't even seen on its own yet with multiple other enemies alongside it

>does everything wrong
It would take more time to fix this game than it took to make Hollow Knight in its entirety.

>>719955324
Combine it with Wanderer's Crest.

>>719955317
You have to fight him again later.
This time over breakable platforms suspended over lava.
While he spawns adds that shoot lava at you.

>>719955317
Yes, you are. It's easy come on man

I'm giving up on The Mist for now.
I don't understand what I'm supposed to do here.

this game is what bloodborne is to dark souls 1 and that's not a praise
bring back slower tactical movement instead of this adhd action crap

>>719955410
You need to sneedolin

>>719955343
Eh not really. I have some issues with it but there are only a few number tweaks here and there to fix the most egregious stuff.

>>719955247
Got it, diabolical to hide it near the bench.

You found out what this dude is for, he is fucking annoying

name my band

>>719955353
But my range ..

>>719955170
hold map, printscreen, ctrlv into pureref, ctrld to paint a red dot
yes i didnt beat the game

I already hate the faggot who made this shit without save points.

Beast claw is either garbage or broken because Two tools sounds incredibly good. If only its pogo wasnt worse than getting hornet to chove her needle on your dick

>entire citadel is powered by one horse
>can hop on a treadmill near him for no benefit other than to make him feel better

>>719954284
wait did you actually have to fight him/her again?

Theres a very high chance that theres an act 3, even if the game can technically end on act 2

>>719955478
this was fucking terrible even with the annoying map lady helping you

Are all crests limited to 2/2/2 charms?

>>719955473
Y J K

>>719955462
as far as i know you need to talk the lady you collected the purple flowers for for that baby quest

I AM YOUR HUMBLE SLAVE /v/
AND A SLAVE MUST SERVE HIS MASTER
Should I use the simple key to free complacent guy at the start of Sinner's Road OR explore Wormway?

>>719955507
Yeah you have to disarm all the nukes

Do Silkspeed Anklets let you jump farther?

>>719955307
how do you get the silver or black one? shakra just disappeared of all spots for me

I'm right before the 2nd lace fight. do I get those later?

>>719955526
You get an upgrade that gives you an extra tool slot regardless of crest.

The long run backs to bosses are one thing but why pack them with unskippable enemies to chip your hp down before you even get to the boss?
The judge at the citadel door is a prime example
Tedious run back made worse by the unskippable cone shooting fly in your way that hovers over the dune worms so you have to sit there like a fucking chump waiting for him to hover over so you can hit him FOUR (4) times or expend ammo
Its just faggotry

>bell enemies sing when you play the violin
huh

>>719955564
>shakra just disappeared of all spots for me
Hit the ring at belltown.

>>719955553
the only benefit to the wormway key is you get a side quest that basically lets you have blue hearts from HK

so that's why the spa is so cheap...

also look up and he runs away.

can someone tell me what to do at the top of cogwork core

im kinda retarded, it looks like the music notes should line up but I cant find any combo that works

What does this do? Heal more masks or heal faster? If it's just extra masks that's not worth but if it increases the speed I'll drop all my rosaries on it, I have just enough strings to afford it

>>719955628
This legit was a h-game sequence. What the fuck did Team Cherry mean by this.
Even the prison part too.

It's all fucking pornbait.

>>719955628
Hit him

Name my band.

>>719955660
Deep Focus from HK
More but slower

>>719955628
you can hit him, he'll stop

>>719955660
NOT WORTH

That's just Deep Focus from HK.

>>719955661
when the thief guy wants to see your valuables, he tries to grab her and hornet slaps him

HOLY FUCKING SHIT LAST JUDGE IS PURE CANCER (I am having fun learning the fight. Which tools? I am using poison traps and triple daggers).

>>719955693
>>719955716
wow that fucking sucks thanks for telling me, glad I asked here first

>>719955687
onee shota bugs

How much damage does each tick of the spike trap do? Surely it can't be that high, it hits like 8 times

they really went full bloodborne

FUCK Hunter’s March

>>719955687
the green mices

>map's OST is just piano organs
>its the boss playing them

>>719953269 (OP)
there's no shakra in hunter's march and she's not in the start town either. where do I get the map for this place?

>>719955810
It's not that bad, even without help. However you should probably do it after getting dash and float

found it
it's worth backtracking the previous area and hitting random shit just because you can

>flying enemies dodge just outside your range whenever you attack them
This sucks

I stood on my chair and yelled Kino, what a cool boss

I presume the flame shit you get is for the organ quest. "SEARED" organs

>>719955576
you can just run past that guy bro

>>719955620
doesn't wormway key let you unlock wanderer crest too?

>>719955620
That seems like a pretty good bonus, I mean health is so stingy in this game, especially in Sinner's Road/Bilewater

Do you know what the prisoner guy gives you?

i'm watching my friend fight a boss and i swear they're using the sound from the pig cops in duke nukem 3d.

>Randomly make my way to Phantom
>Beat the boss and now suddenly I'm in Act 2
uh did I fuck myself? there's a whole two zones that I didn't even finish exploring

I'm playing on an OLED and the game obviously looks very nice, but the color banding is a little distracting. Is anyone else noticing it? Should I set Nvidia settings from 10bpc to 8bpc?

>>719955986
You got the kino route.

>>719955896
Let me guess, just got to Greymoor?
The triple pin is an anti-air cannon that shoots at exactly the angle to kill birbs. You can also pogo as they go by.

>>719953960
what the fuck

>>719955986
I haven't even fought that boss and I'm almost done with the game

>>719955986
no you did not fuck yourself, there are two routed into citadel and you took the harder more secret one

Hunters Crest is actually tye most fun crest to use
The Dash attack and the divekick give Hornet so much ability to safe while still attacking, and the extra range goes along way
It just feels to fast and fluid if you don't get filtered by a 45° angle

just got beast crest, seems utter dogshit. cool

>Hit random wall

No, act 2.

I've spent 3 hours trying to kill Groal in Bilewater I can't fucking do it. What is the strategy to kill him? Please help

>>719955874
Oh I’m not complaining about the platforming. I’m complaining about the total lack of fucking benches.

Best grind spot for rosaries in act 2?

>>719956019
This game has some REALLY expensive stuff, but also alot of vendors. I can't imagine how much the total cost for all items in the game would be

>>719956069
The main tip is to learn to enjoy the runback :)

im not having fun :(

>>719956124

>play song manually instead of shouting to call bug stead
SOVL

I wonder if it'll be possible to get enough of those slot upgrades to max every single crest in the game or if you'll have to pick and choose.

So this is a fucking lie.

I'm looking for a bomb tool or ability as there are so many breakable unbreakable walls.

where the hell is the bomb you people are talking about? i swear ive gone back and explored most areas with wall jump and have done the quests in bone town and belhart but no bomb...

>Choral chambers music after you faced Lace
omg THIS is the city of tears equivalent

>>719956207
>i should have the wall jump for this area
;)

Is there a mod already that removes the cost of using tools?

This game is actually just straight up better than Hollow Knight
The level design is better, the movement is better, the enemy variety is better, the boss designs are better, Hornet actually has variety in her arsenal, the story is more engaging, it's just a better game all in all.
The only real 'fault' I can find is that the game is hard, which isn't really a fault.

Which quest is the delicate flower equivalent quest and can I bench warp it

If team cherry patches the game to nerf the difficulty I'll be very mad. It's perfectly balanced.

>>719956235
Greymoor westernmost tower/upper left, hidden breakable ceiling above a shut-in bug. Need the crafting metal you can buy cheap from Bonebottom shop.

I THOUGHT THE MIST AREA WAS JUST SOME SHITTY "YOU NEED THIS ITEM TO PROCCEED" MAZE SO I DECIDED TO COME BACK LATER AFTER BEING RAPED BY THE GHOSTS WHAT THE FUCK

Jesus fucking christ how much fucking shill money do you rich fuckers have for this garbage game?
Fuck you i'll play an indie metroidvania instead.

>get into a room that requires double jump with a cheeky pogo from dragging an enemy near a wall
>inside there's another ledge that requires a double jump
Fuck off

>>719956264
Yep, I'm 100% with you on there. Levels are so much more engaging to explore it's unreal.

>>719956264
this is a true and real

>>719956309
Stop lying

I have to be honest it's a little disappointing how linear everything is. There's nothing to explore really it's all straightforward and you either have the power up necessary or you don't. Hollow knight was better in this regard

>>719956264
I still prefer HK. Hallownest is cooler, its areas more memorable, I also like its music better. I prefer the knight's magic over traps. And the stuff with the Vessels and the infection is more compelling than Hornet's side quest into a strange land.. although this opinion might change with time because I haven't finished Silksong yet.

>>719956361
>Stop lying
Ok what boss filtered you? Sister Splinter? Last Judge?

>>719956309
no it isn't the beast crest is useless

>>719956262
Haven't happened yet but if I'm dying too many times and lose all my tools, I will just cheat and fill me back up. I almost went out during the last gauntlet to get one of the melody.

Aaaaah how do I get a fucking booooomb tooool?

>>719956364
What the actual fuck are you talking about?

>hmm this game is kinda lacking kino boss fights

i already ask this in another thread but do anyone know where is the best place to farm rosary in act 2?

>>719956227
do you want spoiler? it's at the upper leftmost side of greymoor

>>719956069
tips:
>don't try to kill the mobs that show up, just avoid their attack
>if you're having too much issues avoiding the maggot water, just fight the boss with maggots, his moveset is very plain and easy to deal with when you don't have a panic attack over getting affected by maggots

>>719956420
Best bossfight in the game.
Predictable, but challenging.
And also quite touching.

>>719956387
I'll be completely honest. The only memorable area that truly hit the most in Hollow Knight is City of Tears/Blue Lake, Deepnest, and the Abyss.

>>719956426
Man, spoil me maximum, can you give me a pinpoint on a map?

>>719956264
you deserve a (you) for this bait

Where do I find a second metal ore in act 1 ?
I spent the first one on the magma bell cause I thought tools were not worth the trouble at that point.

>>719956364
very glad you got the weaver queen act 2 ending bwo

>>719956406
>the beast crest is useless
Why did I beat Sister Splinter and Widow with it then? Pic related.

Be honest, did you get shoved into the cage or did you find The Slab by walking there?

>>719956395
the ant gauntlet, bird gauntlet, and the moth

>>719956518
I got caged in Act 1
It was honestly way more kino than walking there normally

>>719956364
How the fuck is this game linear.

>>719956240
Yep, it's perfect

>>719956534
It's ok anon-shi. You probably just need to get used to using silk storm to clear fodder.

Can anybody give me hints on where I can find Ghillie or the names of the areas she is in?

It does, I don't think there's a way to get there without the wormway key.

>>719956518
No one can convince me that they got sacked not on purpose considering the fat fly mob is way easier than the sackers in bloodborne

>>719956176

>>719956420
>Just lost 500 rosaries
GOD

>99% of boss attacks are 2 masks
>Contact damage is 2 masks
>Level hazards are 2 masks
I have to wonder what the though process was. Did they design it like that from the start or did it all used to be 1 damage and they just doubled it for some reason

Uh-oh, I've played this game before

>>719956418
The areas are just boring. I mean you get to a place and within 10 minutes you've seen everything and I think that's mostly due to areas being too spread out. They could have shrunk this game down to like half the areas to make the content more dense. I think they spent too much time on combat and while that's a lot better the map design has suffered because of it. It's not game ruining but it's a little disappointing

>>719956630
i feel ashamed now, it caught me off guard thats for sure

>>719956387
Just from the early game: deep docks, hunter's march, and greymoor are extremely memorable levels and better than nearly everything in hollow knight

>killed the kidnapper in the far fields so it's just the ants there now
>there's another kidnapper in bilewater but when I got killed by it I just died
I'm gonna try the bilewater kidnapper again but I'm afraid I fucked myself out of the prison scene.

>>719956483
You can find one in the marrow and one you can buy from the guy in town. I've found those 2 so far so if you've already bought the one from town which seems more likely then you need to explore the Marrow more.

>finally got out of the citadel area and into the slab and mt. flay to get the station
So far, Act 2 is quite interesting. A lot more architecture around here.

>>719956483
Can't remember, but there are like 4 pieces scattered around the first few areas in act 1. If you haven't done so yet, you can also buy a single piece from the merchant at Bone Bottom.
>Tools
Eh, the only one I've found worthwhile is hidden in Greymoor and it requires some progression through the first act to get it.

>>719956729

>the remaining clockwork dancer stutters and kneels when doing the solo routine and keels down after the failed combo

NOOOO THEY'RE MACHINES WHY DO I FEEL BAD

Crystal Peak is one of my favorite areas in Hollow Knight and Silksong runs circles around it.

>>719956676
There had to have been conflicts and development because the developers claimed that this game was going to be new player friendly and it absolutely is not in any way shape or form because even hollow Knight veterans are getting chewed up

>>719956698
I ask again, what the actual fuck are you talking about? Nothing you're saying tracks to reality. What fucking game have you been playing? It certainly doesn't sound like Silksong. Are you just shitposting?

>>719956717
stop feeding the trolls idiot

>get reaper
>the game suddenly become so much fucking easier
what the FUCK

Finally! Something to spend my rosaries when I've bought all the items in the game!

>>719956593
I don't recall needing a key to get that, just wall jump to get over and around the door near the priestess lady

>>719956717
I honestly forget half the shit that is in the map if I don't mark it with a "progress here later" pin. Didn't use to happen with hollow knight.
It just doesn't leave as much of an impression.

>those endless fucking waves before the last melody
>last one is double niggers
Holy fuck my thumbs hurt, I'm taking a break. How do you even deal with them?

>>719956698
Atleast watch streams of the game you're trying to shitpost
Pretty much anyone who played both games will agree silksong has at least twice as much content as base HK, most actual issues being related to not liking Hornet as MC.

>>719956782
>THEY'RE MACHINES WHY DO I FEEL BAD
You gain soul when hitting them, meaning they're alive in at least some sense.

>>719956812
Wait until you get wanderer, I'm planning to replay without it because it make the game way too easy.

>>719953269 (OP)
phew. they're safe

Man…

>>719956676
This was 100% something they decided early in to the games development. It introduces an enhanced element of risk and forces the player to be more engaged and less sloppy. This is the reason Hornet's bind is the way it is

>>719955180
is the double jump there? I'm not fully sure how to proceed but I'm going to make my way back over there when i play again.

>>719956862

>hunter's journal says the machines are two but the soul is one

It's fucking sad that I have to suffer for 4 hours until I get to enjoy the game

>>719956862
I used the bomb to deal with the adds, but it's still a shit boss fight (the only shit boss so far imo)
Also, the fact that I need to kill ANOTHER ONE for the hunter journal unnerves me (I don't want to see that fucker again)

>>719953386
Anon, this is a blue board!

>>719956862
What do you do in this situation?

>>719956791
You just have a different opinion and that's fine but the maps in hollow knight had so many more secrets and hidden areas so the ones here in silksong feel lackluster. To be fair I didn't play hollow knight on launch so maybe the maps only became that way in hollow knight after updates so I guess we'll have to wait but as is the maps in silksong are disappointing. I do think combat is way better though. It's not all negative

Later on you can buy larger necklaces that still only have a 20 markup, so it's more efficient.

>>719957027
Most people complaining about any boss genuinely does nothing but normal attack and heal
I'm sure some aren't even doing pogo because base crest pogo is a bit tricky to use

>>719956890
Double Jump is West of the Slab, in the snow mountain. You claw line go up the mountain

>>719956969
It's not even the pogo, the dps and silk generation with it is so overpowered. I believe that all the people complaining about boss having some insane health bar are using slow moveset, but as far as I'm aware, damage doesn't scale with those slow crest, you basically have double the dps of reaper with wanderer.

can anyone tell me the weavenest locations? I've only found atla so far

My """trick""" was just running away when it spammed projectiles because the arena is so wide.
But I also didn't really beat it since I accepted the elderly knight's help.

PRO TIP
>PRO TIP
Do NOT exhaust Shakra's stock. Always leave a pin in her inventory. The game WILL bug out and you won't get the extra dialogue per zone.

>>719956987
Ok show your 100% exploration rate save data

>>719956987
This sounds to me like you're just not exploring and blaming it on the game cause in my experience Silksong is way more dense with secrets to find per area.

>>719957164
reaper crest

I'm confused how the lady in Atla upgrades crests? What's the trigger to upgrade them? I want my Wanderer crest upgraded. She obviously does the hunter one at the start. I went back to her some time later and got something else but don't remember what. What actually makes her upgrade your stuff

>>719957150
Talk to the cum vial in the weavenest atla

Why does contact damage deal 2 hearts of health? Ok his bigass sword deals 2 hearts because it's a giant Guts sword, it why does just touching him wipe almost half my HP?

>>719957087
It was the same in HK if i remember correctly.
Pretty much everything was insufferable but if you actually refought some stuff with double jump, max range nail (or spell boost) and shade cloak i turns out you are the boss and not them.
I can only assume with max dmg, proper tools and useful charms shit like judge is gonna melt.

>>719957214
I exhausted all her dialogue when I found her and she only upgraded hunter, guess I'll go back

>>719957230
Hornet hates being touched

>>719957206
There's a tool too, someone mentioned it before

>>719957182

I UNDERSTAND Last Judge's dogshit runback, but all the other complaints like Willow, SisterSplinter, Moorwing, etc. are all complete memes.

Because devs are retards
Most people are gonna be running the whole game with 6 masks pretty much nullifying the point of 6th one in the first place

>>719957270
you get head

>>719957321
Either it’s really small or there’s something I’m missing. You take like one mask damage per ten seconds.

You can tell how mentally ill people are if they sexualize what is practically a fucking stick figure.
There is no such thing as pretending to be retarded.

>>719957214
She upgraded hunter for me not wanderer.

FUCKING FUCK OFF ALREADY WITH FLYING ENEMIES THAT INPUT READ AND KEEP FLOATING JUST OUT OF REACH
WHY ARE THEY IN EVERY SINGLE AREA
WHY ARE YOU SO OBSESSED WITH TEDIOUS TIME WASTING SHIT LIKE THIS

So from what I can tell throwing knives with the first upgrade deal 1.2 hits worth of damage per shot as the little warrior ants die in 5 hits from the knives but 6 hits if I use melee in any way.

Silkspear also deals 3 hits worth of damage, god bless it.

>>719957196
I've literally been going back to areas constantly. All of my map markers are used up. The game simply isn't as dense as hollow knight. I'm sure it's got more content overall but the areas feel surprisingly empty

>>719957095
ah alright. I was heading that way to attempt that area. It seemed insurmountable when I stumbled on it the first time.

I think Citadel has far better level designs than the lower part of Pharloom

>>719956976
I actually really like Savage Beastfly. Perhaps it's stockholm syndrome, but he's designed in a neat way.
His attacks are all readable and easy to dodge. The only hard rule of the fight is to not jump when you don't need to, because his tackle attack tracks your position, so if he catches midair it becomes impossible to dodge. Once you understand he becomes very hittable boss.
The challenge comes from his mob bugs, which force you to not only memorize and understand his patterns, but also improvise on the spot to nove situations. I really came to understand how the hunter crest works in this fight

>>719957348
Yeah literally no point in upgrading health with this double damage bs

>>719957407
Literally just turn away. They input read so they know to come to you at that point.

>>719956985
Walk into left bug for 1 dmg, get invincibility and dash to right

>>719957445
Citadel is denser.

>>719957180
What elderly knight wtf didn't even find that nigga. Imagine using "summons" for this piss easy boss.

reminder that you can dash downwards

you can also dash upwards while wallclinging

Which Crest is better Reaper or Hunter? Both have same slots. I guess it's a choice between damage and more silk.
Also how do I explore the rest of the weavernest Atla? It keeps rocketing me between tunnels and I can't stop

>>719957639
I miss the better downward swipe tho.... also do I need to upgrade it twice for it to be good or the once + side is good already?

>>719957645
No, hunter's march is entirely optional. There is nothing required in there at all.

>>719957509
Really, it's just about the crest you prefer. They all have different movesets that have different use cases. If you can't comprehend 45° degree angles you should probably switch off of hunter crest though

>>719957608
Yes they seem to randomly spawn when you enter a valid room

>>719957696
they didn't
you panic the moment there's a boss and a mob in the screen

>>719957608
Silver bells are a random spawn, just run around the area till you get 8 of them.

>>719957628

>>719957717
I killed him and then got the quest and then turned in his trophy for the quest reward. But I killed him before the village got fucked up by him so am I safe?

HE'S HERE!

>>719957645
Turn around and come back here later. Didn't the gatekeeper at the door give you enough hint that going here without Dash and Float is a bad idea?

>>719956842
i think the "problem" is that the maps are huge and very open, so there's like 7 paths to different rooms everywhere you go, it's a lot easier to get lost or remember where stuff is compared to hollow knight

>>719957758
>you panic the moment there's a boss and a mob in the screen
Poor argument since there's several other bosses that do the exact same thing and I trounced them.

I think it's doing those dream sequences, with white silk platforms and spiders in the background

>>719957780
I don't know anon, he ram raided the village from the left side while I was walking back from the wormway.

>>719957645
You should probably get more movement abilities before you do Hunter's March

How do you open the big metal door in Deep Docks? The one that's past the padlock door area.

>>719957715
Sherma, she is pretty nice, i like her voice but there isn't much else to her, she is a devout believer

When does "naked" encounter happen? I am afraid I will miss it.

>>719954842
I love this stupid thing. It clears the dumb enemy arenas so easily. It makes me realize how trivial my problems were.

>>719957818
I'm trying to find an excuse for either your lying ass or why you are traumatized by a boss with a simple pattern that spawn basic adds. I'm not obligated to not just call you a shitter, but it seems that's what you want.

>>719957783
Please tell me he still hums

where you recommend using the first simple key? i'm short on rosaries but need to progress, and i remember wasting my first simple key in HK on confessor jiji and remember how useless that was

Guys I'm super serial, where is the last plasmium. I've been looking for an hour. I'm gonna kill myself. I got the one on the west side of the lower wormway with the obviously dead assistant and I got the one near the very bottom entrance.

>>719957928
You don’t need to use a single key to progress.

Holy shit, I beat the tree boss and Widow on my first try without visiting a bench in-between. For all the talk about difficulty, this might be the most fair and least trial-and-error Metroidvania I've ever played.

>>719957726
Sorry, not the slots, but the crest itself gets an upgrade
Desu if you like the heavy down attack then pick that, it's better be consistent and comfy

this game definitely has way more kino moments than hollow knight. the npcs and towns feel so dynamic. it's such a nice feeling.

>>719957897
>She
Anon...

My only issue with the game so far is the amount of gangbang rooms and bosses that summon extra units. I've stunned this cunt here like five times and killed over a dozen of his mooks, but one badly timed charge attack from a flying fuck and I'm back at the bench.

It's over. I'm being filtered. Just tell me how I put the game on easy mode, where do I need to go?

>>719957928
There's a mask shard hidden right at the entrance of the wormway in a little watery area so if you want that go there.

The only actual valid criticism I've seen so far is that some of the boss run ups are a tad too extreme.

>>719957928
Up the elevator at bone bottom, head to the left at the top. Across the chasm

>>719954842
Where did you get poison from? Is that a quest item?

>>719956323
Ender Lilies is better than Magnolia. Or try Grime or Death's Gambit. All of them are better than this. This is Metroid Dread levels of disappointing.

>>719958008
sounds like a girl, it's a girl. I don'r remember Hornet calling her a sir like she does everyone else

HOW THE FUCK DO I EARN BEADS?!
4TH BENCH/MERCHANT/STATION I PASS AND I EARNED A TOTAL OF 0 BOSSES GIVE 0

EVEN THIS FUCKING FLEA PASSIVE WANTS 30 BEADS??

ARE THEY BRAINDAMAGED???

>>719957908
I could just as easily call you a liar and say you didn't one shot him.
I've demolished every boss so far, beastfly has been the ONLY problem, and that's a COMMON experience, choosing to pretend like it's not an exception just so you can act like you're better than everyone is just being lazy.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FUCK THESE ENDLESS ARENA FIGHTS AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I'm only peeking in to ask because I want to avoid spoilers, but how long is this game? I'm 14 hours in and still not done with Act 1, which I admit must be slower than usual because I was an idiot and turned around at the two entrances to Shellwood both times I was first there and completely forgot to go back, leaving me wandering around like an idiot for hours. How far in am I? Am I going to take so long that I miss these threads? I'm scared at how big this game seems to be compared to HK.

>>719957987
Ok, but what’s your load out so we know if you were just a needle and healer.

I'm actually really surprised at how good the quest system feels.
When I first heard about it I thought it would be obtrusive and tedious but no, they go by like nothing and are honestly fun to do

>>719957593
Amazing that secondaries got go caught up in the Silksong hype meme they forgot the reason we were excited for Silksong in the first place is because we love Hollow Knight, go back to redit you fucking loser. Not because you think Hollow Knight is overrated but because you think anyone who doesn't is somehow just trying to troll you

>>719957697
where do you get the fiery tool thing?

>>719958026
I think there's definitely merit in the complaint that there are too many 2 health damage stuff with barely any mask upgrades early on.
Combine this with the fact that beads are so much more valuable so dying to 2 damage shit hurts that much more at least in Act 1.

>>719958009
Ironically after dealing with so many flying enemies. I’ve learned how to better deal with them. Team Cherry tricked me and made me learn.

>>719958107
You're still in the tutorial bro

>>719955801
God damn this is great. I hope that the person that made the Vessel for Darkest Dungeon does Hornet, she has like four different movesets at this point.

>>719958107
you're VERY far from completing the game. the citadel is act 2 and it's fucking ginormous

>>719958087
>and that's a COMMON experience
Most people did NOT take 0-1 tries in most bosses and 30 tries in Beastfly. Some people find him annoying, but it's usually the people who already are struggling with single boss like Moorwing. You would be an exception, if I am to believe the shit you spew.

>>719958107
you're less than 1/3 of the way in

>>719958115
Thats fine and all but why THE FUCK is the spine quest like that

>>719958016
> Just tell me how I put the game on easy mode, where do I need to go?
Nexusmods

Day 3 and I can safely say silksong is way better than OG hollow knight. Except in terms of story but I always knew there was no way it was gonna top it anyway. I’m still in act 1 btw but at the area before the citadel I assume

>>719958026
Some of the bosses are too fucking long as well.

>>719958009
Whoops forgot the picture.

>>719958026
game is boring? how about that? dogshit platforming in a game with mobile tier movement is NOT FUN

>>719958107
you are 1/3 in. If you like to explore and backtrack it will take a while

>>719958086
early game beads are hard to collect. for now only pilgrims drop beads for you. the more you play and more areas you unlock, the more enemies start dropping beads (especially if you clear areas without dying). hunters march also has a lot of beads but that area is really tough (i completed it after bellhart ). Dont worry about shop items for now, you'll get enough money to buy them all out later on.

>>719955170
i do not use pins at all

>>719958107
It’s about double that amount of time. You’re almost at the end of Act 1.

>>719957783
How did you destroy the ground here?

Lace 2 is bullshit. Can't even reliably get past the 1st phase. How do you even react fast enough to her attacks?

>>719958114
Reaper, with no tools on Widow because I used them all up on the tree boss.

Also my reward is playing music? What the fuck am I supposed to use this for?

>>719958107
you currently have 9 areas unlocked. you wanna know how many areas there are in the game?
28

>>719957780
I killed the skull tirant, got the quest later, delivered the horn, THEN later skull tyrant destroyed the village
fucking cheating faggot

>>719958250
you open it from below

>>719957910
He does not, sadly.
>>719958250
From beneath.

>>719958278
To open the door believe it or not

Alright, since I got spoiled.
Should I rest at the bench in Bellhart for that "secret" cutscene?
I still haven't explored Sinner's path, that arid looking place near Pharloom's edge or Wormways and I fear it may have some repercussions if I do it
I also haven't done the Bell quest, just found the room and fucked off to leave it for later. Is it hard progress or do you need to do something extra to "save" the town

>>719958278
opens up closed off areas.
tip: go to the starting zone and pay attention to the map and find similar doors

>>719956264
>The only real 'fault' I can find is that the game is hard, which isn't really a fault.
I honestly haven't been finding it that hard so far, not to the point of it being unfun at least, but where most of the difficulty is coming from is definitely wack.
>You effectively have three health in most situations instead of five because of how commonly you take two damage, and getting your first HP upgrade doesn't change this at all, o your life bar feels misleading
>On top of that, iframes after getting hit are nearly non-existent, so even if you only take one damage from something the likelihood of immediately being hit again is high
>Meaningful upgrades in general feel few and far between, you can clear out several areas and encounters without getting anything that felt worthwhile or made you feel stronger and it make them feel more difficult than they were just because you wasted your time
>Fights with hordes of enemies fucking everywhere, and they're often ones you won't have experience fighting individually yet
>Currency is scarce (with some areas having almost no sources of it), but literally everything costs money, so some degree of grinding is practically required unless you're never dying or constantly stopping to go get your beads strung up
>Tool material is easy to come by, but it's also easy to run out if you fail an encounter multiple times, so more grinding
>Insane checkpoint starvation in certain areas while others have more benches than a public park
>Traps lmao
Overall just a very oddly designed game in many ways.

>>719958193
You do know hitting the quills he throws everywhere will give a spine right?

I found lifeblood.

Jesus Christ. Appreciate it bros, guess I'll be here in a week, hopefully discussion won't have dteriorated too badly by the time I'm done. Despite how daunting this game is, I'm having a lot of fun. Fuck those wormdog things in Sinner's Road though

>>719958107
DId the last boss at the 14h mark. Your progress (+ at least 2 extra areas ahead) took me like ~6h.

>>719958351
It’s a straight up boss fight, but you can’t go there easily until you’re done with Shellwood.

holy fuck greymoor is unmatched, this areas mood and enemy design is so fucking cool

>>719958329
>>719958357
Oh cool. I thought it was like Silent Hill where most doors are just for decoration.

How the fuck do I traverse Mount Fay without dying simply by existing

I... am not fond of this game's "spawn at a bench 100km away from the boss" mechanics. HK had this problem to a still manageable degree but here it's absurd. The marathon to the Last Judge boss after respawning is absurd.

>>719958369
Some of your earlier points I disagree with but I do agree that they could have eased up on how to refill the tool system. I love using tools but some shit just makes zero sense.
The lifeblood needle especially is too far off to be useful. A shame too because fleas brew uses the same system but is so fun to use.

>>719955478
this part was really bad because those flying bugs get out of your reach too fast.

>>719958462
I don’t even understand what the lore behind this guy or any of the greymoor guys are. All I know is there’s a super scissor guy.

I finished it
it was alright

it just kinda ends and the last boss is basically just radiance from the first game

>>719958462
This is a homage Scissorman from Clocktower, right? Their idle noises sounds like his theme song, and their attacks similar to his.

>>719958129
deep docks past the locked door

FINALLY
Fuck Willow

Just beat the fat lunch lady boss in Sinner's Road
It took me easily 30+ tries
I wanna jerk off to grotesque r34 of her now

>>719958531
It's a red herring ending btw.

>>719958531
I'm sure you killed hollow knight in the first game after 3 bosses and also considered HK done

>>719958487
You’ll think so then you’ll start to be able to run it in like 20 seconds.

>>719958531
>just kinda ends
Anon you should have learned by now from the first game

>>719958531
i don't know if im going to finish it, im in the clockwork level, it's just ... boring

>>719958462
I don't like Greymoor. Drags on too long, bird enemies are annoying to deal with, and Moorwing bugged out when I fought it.

>>719958086
There's an act 1 loop in Mosshome with a bench and a couple pilgrims that you can farm for easily more than 30 beads per loop. I'm surprised no one else is talking about this.

>>719958582
Seriously, how does no one realize the ending is just like HK? Now what’s the dream nail of Silksong?

>>719958616
we've already talked about it a lot in previous threads here.

What the fuck is this zoomer adhd sescond silk fight?
This isn't fun or challenging, just tedious.

>>719957995
It sure helps to have a society that's sort of shambling along instead of "pretty much entirely dead" like in most soulslikes.

>The mist
WHAT THE FUCK

I've been making steady progress, downed widow but I have to say, I don't feel accomplished.
I just feel fucking exhausted playing, and I find myself just dreading what comes next instead of being optimistic that I beat a boss. Maybe Soulslop isn't for me.

>>719958675
Which fight?

I can't believe that the second needle upgrade is a fuckin quest that sends you all over the place defeating the most insane bosses when you could just smash the thing the oil is in and give it to the guy in Bellhart

How do you get on the left? I got there yesterday for the tube and I already forgot now that I have rosaries

Super fun boss fight

>>719958156
Damn, that's nice to know.
I still don't know how I feel about putting a pretty much entirely non-combat ability on a face button over one of your red tools though.

>>719958721
I am so annoyed, my brain auto filtered 'lace" to 'silk'.

What do you mean skull tyrant

>>719958719
Same, but until I reach the end. Can’t stop. Won’t stop.

>>719954842
I have no shame using that against gauntlet fights.

Alright I give up. The Chapel of the Beast is way too fucking hard. I'm coming back when I've got more upgrades.

Because you can heal mid-air you retarded niggers.

This is the singular most broken shit in the game.

>>719958775

Come back later for a funeral.

>>719958754
How do you get to the right side? As far as I remember you have to go all the way around and up to get here on the left side. It’s a one way.

>>719958814
So you fucked around and found out?

This is why higher beings should only breed with other higher beings. Otherwise you get a MUTT like hornet that gets double and tripled masked ag EVERYTHING

>change spells? bench
>change crest? bench
>died to boss? lol run back fucko
theres just so much wasted time everywhere

>>719958026
I have two broad criticisms.
>1. Rosaries are far too scarce in the early game. I'm nearing the end of Act 1 and my rosaries have suddenly ballooned to 800+, but before that point I was struggling to afford benches, stations, and items.
>2. There's way too fucking many flying enemies that are simply obnoxious to deal with and discourage you from changing crests because pogo'ing is the best way to deal with them when your hunter's tools run out.

Everything else is pretty specific:
>The bullshit that is the Chapel of the Beast, specifically how it auto-equips the beast crest, resets your respawn point to outside the chapel of the best, and simultaneously changes your method of pogo'ing AND healing in an area where you do a lot of pogo'ing and healing
This is one of the most egregiously retarded design decisions I've seen in a long time
>The cage traps in Hunter's March can be broken by attacking them, so you unconsciously assume that you can use the trapped bench by attacking the trap until it breaks, but the switch is actually slightly off-screen in a hidden area
>There are a lot of "blind falls" that results in you having to backtrack, usually for meagre rewards

>>719959289
Yes, you just gotta jump good.

Is this fucking pogo to the top of greymore near sinners row even fucking possible, what is even the reward for this fucking engaging trash jump?

>>719958928
>no coat
when does this even happen?

Cogwork core song reminds me of a game.. i think it's chrono trigger not sure.

>>719958430
>t. narcissist

>>719959372
Yes, approach it from further up, not from the first balloon

>>719959285

>just saw a vid of how to reach the double jump
>oh that's not ba-
>cold damage
I'm not finishing this game.

>>719959416
I don't even know if I have access to that

are 2 mask damage hazards really necessary? really TC?

>>719958604
the only one i found annoying was the guy who throws three blades, only because he refuses to fly into hitting range, i loved the music and art direction of the place so the length of the area was a plus for me. sorry to hear about moorwing, my stupid ass accidentally skipped it with the flea quest

>>719958824
That's all good until enemies can fly like the crows or the beastfly.

>>719959467
If it's the one I'm thinking of (in the room that leads to Sinner's Rise), it's in the same room. You just jump and float from where the exit to SR is.

>>719959490
Falling into lava should be instakill

>>719958797
Never mind I beat him.

I love how many fucking gimmicks each areas has now.
City of Tears was memorable because of the atmosphere.
But Deepnest was memorable because it's such a fuckfest of an area.

And almost every area in the game has that sort of shit now.
I won't spoil it but there are certain areas in this game that will stick with me for a long time in the genre.

>>719959338
Any advice? Please for real

>>719959512
>the fat bird that throws blade
Least favorite enemy so far
I hate Team Cherry's obsession with flying niggers

>>719959543
I think I see what you mean

>have 200 milliseconds to figure out whether to jump or not (and get hit for two damage when you get it wrong)
>attack hitboxes exist before she even attacks
>one attack auto-parries even though her parry animation hasn't even started yet
>zooms all across the fucking room
>this bitch is most definitely gonna have a second phase
I really dislike this fight. Last Judge was more fun in comparison and that's saying something.

>>719959587
Anon, why are you trying to put the square peg in the round hole?
If you can't reach something, you're not meant to get there yet.

For all the shit I read yesterday I thought Mount Fay would be hard

Imagine how bullshit I pantheon of all the Silksong would be

>>719959372
You have to keep bouncing on the balloon until you can pogo off the gnat for a grand reward of two lines of baking instructions.

is this a joke? am I really supposed to go through the entire mist section to get back to phantom?
please tell me I missed a bench

...
*unzip*

>>719959820
Doesnt it fuck healing?

>>719959769
There's a bench in the Exhaust Organ, should be to the top left of the main hall.

>>719959852
You can tell Team Cherry was just holding their powerlevel back in HK
And now that they don't have to worry about money they just made a fucking CBT NES game

>>719959636
I actually counted the frames. You have 310 milliseconds to react.
What the actual fuck.

>>719959881
i got a new heart near the end of chapter 2 lmao

>>719958824
>actually it's fine that you take double damage from normal attacks because you can heal in mid-air
That's like the definition of a non-sequitur

>>719959903
No the Up B is to make shit, B is still healing. RB is another tool, you lose a spell slot for an extra tool

>>719959881
Most people finishing the game already just seem to be rushing it.

>>719959956
>your healing move is simply better, heal 3 instead of 1 per sec, and can be used in far safer positions
>uuhhhh doesn't count
retard

>>719959923
i don't remember any fetch quests in my cbt nes games

I'm not finding a lot of these bosses hard, but I'm finding them really satisfying to play against. Way less bullshit to deal with compared to Hollow Knight.

>>719959760
Yeah I just found that out, gotta be shitting me

>>719959956
Yes because mid-air heals are stupidly strong a majority of the time in this game

Doing phantom instead of last judge is way easier, wtf

>>719959820
Suck ass because you will need to farm for 10 minutes after each boss attempt using 3 tools.

>>719959919
what happened between hollow knight and this game to turn team cherry into such evil motherfuckers? i didnt even realize i was walking into a bossroom until the gate shut behind me
time to get gangbanged by ghosts again i guess

>>719960029
>your healing move is simply better, heal 3 instead of 1 per sec
Only enemies start doing two masks damage instead of one a few hours into the game.

It's kinda incredible that it took them 7 years to make the most miserable, unfun and tedious metroidvania of all time. You can tell they were huffing their own farts the entire time.
I hope they fucking die in a fire for ruining one of the only things I was excited about in my life.

>>719960032
Their main inspirations are Faxanadu and Zelda 2.

>>719960105
>1 heal when enemies hit 1 > 3 heal when enemies hit 2

>>719959992
x doubt. Some anon have like 30 hours already

>>719959960
> you lose a spell slot for an extra tool
fuck that

/v/ should stick to gacha games from the looks of it
can't play a real game no more

>>719960069
Anon, it's very clear you're still in act 1. Come back when you've reached act 2.
>>719960143
It takes 9 hits to heal 3 masks as opposed to the old 3 hits to heal 1 mask.
The math is against you in Silksong. You are capable of doing basic math, yes?

Alright game, I understand. I'll fuck off to another zone.

Where is the item to use these fucking rings?

>>719953928
>>719953928
>>719953928

Where the FUCK is double jump

>>719960219
there's no freeze resist or anything, you're supposed to go fast

>>719960149
Yeah probably because nobody fucking says anything in this game and you're constantly checking old areas to see who moves where and what you're allowed to explore. There's a shooting range where the thief was locked up now. When did this happen? Why did this happen? Fuck if I know.

>>719960219
You should push through, trust me

>>719959929
1 hit confirms in street fighter games are anything from 140 to 170 milliseconds, jump ins are 400+ milliseconds
310 milliseconds is more than enough time to react

>>719960295
>backtracking quests

disgusting

>>719960029
I still don't see how this justifies me taking two damage from lightly brushing against a completely stationary big rat's buttcheek

>>719960337
Street Fighter is for actual autistic people who do nothing but play Street Fighter all day every day.

>>719960216
>basic math
do the basic math to how long it takes to heal 3 masks in HK and how long it takes to heal 3 masks in Silksong, please.

>>719960260
Pain and misery.

>>719960394
You aren't healing as often in HK because 2 hits don't put you into one shot territory

>>719960536
Yeah, you aren't healing as often in HK as well because you can DPS race most bosses with quick attack as long as you aren't braindead.

>>719960394
Healing in Silksong requires you to survive thrice the amount of time fighting an enemy than in Hollow Knight.
Enemies also do two masks of damage per hit in Silksong as opposed to one mask in Hollow Knight.
>HURRR BUT U CAN HEAL IN MID AIR DURRR

>>719960579
>you can DPS race most bosses
You literally can't shitposter-kun. Most bosses are a patience game, because just blindly attacking them will get you caught in their attacks.
