Thread 720277852

so what the fuck do i do here? did i do path of pain 2 in cogwork core for nothing at all?

Those fleas are lucky I don't fucking gut them after those shit ass flea carnival minigames.

>>720277852 (OP)
it's about the journey not the destination

>>720277852 (OP)
hmmst wait a minute those lines

STEEL SOUL LORE DROP:
>So from the sounds of it by Seer Zi, the City of Iron is a civilization that has successfully Weaponized Void completely. They also have the "Masters" of this society who seem to keep things under a strict totalitarian watch. In Silksong Steel Zi is in Pharloom to pursue what is essentially a servant bug (Unwilling Slave Bug) who has "Touched the Dark" AKA learned how to do stuff with Void, and therefore must be hunted and killed to the end of the earth.
>The City of Iron is probably a huge robot void city

We have our DLC locked in.

Are you locked out of completing the hunter’s journal if you didn’t kill the ghosts before the mist disappears?

>>720277992
Hallownest is getting powercrept what the fuck is this nonsense

>>720277992
can we have cameo of knight's presence at all? Or something resemblance of his figure to hornet that makes prompt to say she knows that thing before

>>720277992
sauce me up, my nigga

>>720277992
I really want Team Cheery to set a game in a civilization at their peak

I beat the cursed ending, that was exhilirating.
I'm 2/5 endings I think.
shame about pic related, I would've probably grinded the speedrun achievements if not for this crap.

>>720277992
>Hollow Knight: BLADE DANCE
>Lace is the new MC

Would you play it brehs?

>>720278045
The Pale King was a benevolent ruler. All these other places sound like absolute hellholes for their citizens

The fuck is this place? Is there some hidden region here?

>>720277852 (OP)
you just have to make the pictures line up for each column, idk if you're supposed be copying some pattern elsewhere but it was pretty easy to brute force

I don't play this shit game, I just like the cute small hat bug

oh boy I love doing 10 enemy gauntlets before the boss I have no idea what they do, after doing a bunch of pogoing over spikes and disappearing platforms

thanks team cherry, totally love this sands of karak zone!

I need answers bros. I just completed The Red Memory, and talked to everyone in it. 1. Why was dad not there? 2. Did Hornet actually respect the wish of the PK to bring reason to the bugs? 3. How far did the King's final wish spread?

>>720278153
>HK is Dark Souls
>SS is Bloodborne
>3rd game will be Sekiro
>4th game will be Elden Ring

So Team Cherry straight up lied to us? It unironically proves SS was harder than they intended.

Difficult Silksong Boss are preventing good saars from finishing the game and learning the Lore, why would Team Cherry do this to us???

The only missable thing before Act 3 is Shakra fight right? Where is she now I can't find her anywhere.

>>720277852 (OP)
>Sharpdart
Is it any good?

>>720278191
cute!

>>720278153
>parryslop

>>720278264
You can summon her infront of bellheart by hitting the ring in the area where the flees camped at.

>>720278153
yeah but i'd really rather have any MC other than lace
honestly i hope TC does a new character as the protagonist of their next game

>>720277852 (OP)
you need to replay HK if you think that was path of pain
lol
lmao

>>720278308
I finished her quest and she doesn't have any new dialogue. How do I trigger the duel?

Wheres the secret boss in sands?

The moe king is sleeping

>>720278240
Lmao theyre autists

>>720278312
Zote game next

>>720278153
did you forgot that zote still alive? That fucker had a lot of shit to unveil for the next game and he should be the next MC

>>720278153
TC will not pander to you lolicons.

>>720278362
this man is deceased

>>720278340
I dunno, I stumbled upon the duel by accidentally hitting the ring.

>>720277852 (OP)
damn, sad

>>720277852 (OP)
>shitsong

>>720278396
Oh wait, I'm hitting the ring IN Bellhart. Oops

>>720278175
yes, but you cant get to it through the underworks

>>720277852 (OP)
I just beat these guys on my 3rd try
>1 mask left
>no silk
>no weapons
why aren't the doors opening?
>the last dude starts moving again
"at that moment, cell felt the true terror.jpg"

absolute terror in my veins, sharingan activated focused on the dude, stayed as far away as possible watching his moves thinking he may get even faster, but thankfully he did not

best fight so far

>>720278376
Uh??

>>720278240
hollow knight was more enjoyable to play cause the base game wasn't "prepare to die edition".

silksong plays better but the amped up requirements mean it's more of a bullet hell + platform/dashing game than a simple metroidvania.

the game itself is made well, but they are CLEARLY going for the "we want the masochistic audience" type of balance. I would bet money not a single journalist has beat act 3, or even 2.

>>720278424
its ok theyre gay

>>720278205
Seriously, anyone else care about the implications of the memory or just me?

>>720277992
what steel souls have new content?
or is this after credit lore drop

>>720278205
>1
I'm so mad pretty much everyone important from HK1 got a cameo or representation of some kind aside from Pale King

Okay what's the deal with The Mists?
If I wander around long enough I can get to the point where the music gets more intense, but have no idea what I'm actually supposed to be doing here.

>>720278450
What tease. Given the location I guess you'll get there trough bellheart or shellwood somehow. Or perhaps Greymoor.

>>720277852 (OP)
Path of pain is in act 3 btw

>>720278196
Isn't there only a single big conchfly that aggros off you on the runback? It's like a 20 second jump and dash from the bench.

>>720278565
Play YOUR music near the butterflies

>>720278484
because people who spent literally every inch of HK since it came out, wants more of challenging content. The only difficult part from HK is path of pain (platforming segment) and colossium trials (gauntlet segment). Which is why TC decided, why not they gave us 10x times more of those along the journey

>>720278563
I think he's actually super dead.

Seth is not showing up in any of the places he's supposed to the fucker. I hope it's either a trigger no one knows about that I'll eventually hit or something they'll fix in the upcoming patch.

>>720278340
what did she give you, i afraid i will miss something important

>haha lets put spikes in the room and have the enemy fly away if you jump towards him while he spams projectiles
100 deaths to whoever designed coral tower

>>720278598
how big must his cock be to actually fuck that thing

>>720277992
What the fuck

>>720278635
skill issue

>>720278635
If only you had your own projectiles available...

>>720278635
yes I know I have tools, I would ideally like to save them for the fucking boss, when I get through the 50 gauntlets or so.

>>720277992
>In Silksong Steel Zi is in Pharloom to pursue what is essentially a servant bug (Unwilling Slave Bug) who has "Touched the Dark" AKA learned how to do stuff with Void, and therefore must be hunted and killed to the end of the earth.
Ghost is dead so my bet is Pure Vessel.

>>720278635
The Coral Tower fights are some of the most honest fights in the entire game

>>720278635
Where is your silkshot

>>720278635
it's fair
never forget that you have to do everything on steelsoul afterwards for the real ending

>>720277992
>Yeah, sorry guys. We don't know how to make a DLC so we'll just make a new game instead

>>720277852 (OP)
I‘m a bit into act 2 and so far it feels similar to elden ring. A huge map and combat that is pushed to its absolute limit resulting in harder enemies. It‘s not what i hopes for but it‘s not bad either

>>720278690
>Ghost is dead

lmaooooo

>>720278596
I'm so dumb.
I fuckin knew they were both important but somehow I never put 2+2 together.

>>720278694
yeah the one where the floor is all spikes and you can only get across while using the dash that wastes silk, very fair.

>>720278689
clawline or wall jump

>>720278240
Why are kids so upset about loosing in vidya games these days?
I had plenty of vidya that I couldn't beat even halfway and it was fine. Is this the result of "here's your star for effort" parenting culture? People can't handle failure or being denied what they want?

>>720278576
If you've explored all of Greymoor you probably noticed one room that looks suspiciously different.

>>720277852 (OP)
I swear to god I've heard every single mild platforming challenge in this game called Path of Pain 2 at this point

>>720278124
First one doesn't sound too bad, after Weaver you just gotta defeat Phantom and you get to skip a lot of bosses that way
100% completion is masochism

Just finished off The Unraveled, I saw earlier people saying the boss is shit but I thought it was pretty alright, although is there anywhere you face those beyblade enemies that appear in the boss fight, cause that was the first time I've seen them?

>>720278636
She has many small vaginas

>>720278748
???? Those werent nearly as bad as the fight in the trial of fools

>>720278635
Clawline is your friend against flying shitters. They'll input read your dashes and jumps but a grappling hook is too fast to react.

why does your carmelita look like that?

>>720278753
>Why don't other people think the same way I do? This is wrong, and should be changed. Everything should be the same
Damn, you're really struggling with reality.

>>720278753
so boomers are okay with never seeing the 2nd half of any game they pay for?

Where's the NUT?

>longclaw is just a measly 10% range increase
are you kidding me

>>720278858
>they pay for?
You're not entitled to a victory because you paid money though.

>>720278636
Somehow mother nature finds a way.

>>720278901
above the blue swordmaster camp

>>720278901
Ask the butler! He tells you where the stuff you don't have is!

>>720278918
let me guess, you're not entitled to a movie without ads because you paid money too?

I probably fucked up by giving my silkshot to Architect but she's cute so I had to let her leave her mark on it as a memento.

>>720278908
most of the charms are pretty shit in this one
only ones that actually felt like they pulled their weight for me were the heal shield and the petrified hornets when you take damage

Lace is fucking me up in the Citadel

>>720278820
Not Coral Tower anon but I'm starting to think that's what the bell throwers in the Citadel were trying to teach me, I'm just very stubborn

>>720278760
For me it was the goddamn top of his head hitbox and how annoying it is to land hits. I took damage so many times trying to drop in behind after dashing over and barely grazing the back of his hitbox. Fix his hitbox and the fight would be almost trivial.

The fleas are gay as fuck compared to my grub bros

>>720277852 (OP)
just solve the increcibly easy puzzle for literal babies you retard.

>>720278993
Congrats I think your the first person to ever die her anon!

sinner first try, bitches
and then I died 6 times to the flying turd in slab

>>720278635
Where is that place?

>up towers spinning, near the surgeon spurned
closer to High Halls or Whiteward?

>>720278830
Aww man I have to go back there? I just went to Far Fields for the lava escape...

>>720278993
As always stay close, phase 2 punish windows are mostly about that.

>>720278991
honestly i take the range forever since im comfortable with wanderer crest

>>720278760
Unravelled is shit because his design looks awful compared to how cool the Whiteward was

kek sperm alien looking aah bitch

>>720278970
Holy false equivalence batman. Get good.

>>720278153
Lace can fuck right off. Absolute dogshit character with a fun fight and a great theme. I don't want to play as her.

>>720278991
skull mask from ant is insane value from start to like 8 masks
bell is great as well
longclaw is... okay, I guess. shoulda been 20%
hell, in HK you get like 40% if using both range extension accessories

>>720279005
Yeah I did notice that with the charge attacks so I was keeping more of my distance on those, I'm glad the projectile attack is predictable at least, I'd hate for there to be combinations in the fight that could go two low, one high.

>>720278991
Bro? Your
>Pollip Pouch?
>Druid's Eye?
>Multibinder?
>Injector Band?

so why the fuck did this happen at the start of the game anyway?

>cogfly
you didnt beated the game

>>720279134
her period

>>720279008
Grubs
>Give you money (for EVERY grub)
>Give you charms
>Give you charm slots
>Give you upgrade mats
>Cute
Fleas
>Gives you NOTHING for most fleas
>Bring you to areas you've already been
>Give you beer (not free)
>Peep on you in the bath
>Charges you to say where their friends are even though they want you to rescue them
>Gives you an upgrade mat at the very end
>Gypsies

>>720279134
So you could hear her moan and possibly also a concussion from knocking around inside a cage while falling from a massive height

>>720279134
you still had some leftover void cum sloshing around your insides after getting annihilated by the hollow knight back in hallownest

>>720278908
then why does it feel like 50% on wanderer

>>720279134
to give me an erection

im going through act 3 and just killed Karmelita, wondering how are normies expected to beat this game? she goes nuclear after the second scream.

You now know that there are permadeath-mode only bosses
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xJstJdZhKDM

>>720279218
I've checked in the game files. the animation might be larger visually but the actual effect is only 10%

>>720279284
Normies are expected to quit after GM Silk

>>720278858
No? You just get good enough to see the second half of a game or accept defeat and move on.
I can buy a bicycle because I want to experience fun of riding it, but I still need to learn to ride it myself.

>>720279069
Yeah that's fair, I really like the vibes Whiteward as well, it reminds me a lot of Bloodborne and I'm not sure that was just a coincidence considering those wheelchairs you see around the area. What would you have wanted for a boss design anyhow, I do agree it's a bit lacking visually.

>>720278980
it's fine, she has a Big Bug Booty

>>720279312
And just like a bicycle if your a faggot you can get training wheels (mods) to make it easier

That's enough for today, Silksong feels like a huge labyrinth compared to Hollow Knight it's insane how easy it is to get lost or miss something
Fun game, wish the bosses were a bit more challenging though, once you figure them out they are too easy to read, hopefully I'm proven wrong later

>>720279321
Something weirder, anything really, problem is the boss itself just looks like a white sheet

>the sheer fucking speed that wanderer gives you
>several hits into the enemy on every small pause they make
>all that silk that can go into healing or spells
holy shit this crest is insane, I have like double the silk compared to reaper

>>720279291
Cool. One more reason to install mods.

fucking HOW
I must be missing something because I don't see how this is possible, even if I don't get hit I can barely make it up the blasted steps

>>720279437
based

>>720279437
I will say this unironically.

>>720279454
>>720279437
Do we even know how they nerfed moorwing and splinter

>>720279437
Moorwing was already easy why would they nerf him of all bosses and not beastfly or something?

>>720279418
?? Reaper rips when you get it going, you just have to be willing to bind in favour of silk generation vs outright healing.

I got lost in the citadel because I couldn't buy maps without rosary. My smoothbrain didn't understand that the "models of the citadel" were what will give you the map anyway. Finally found a Bellway station and gfto out of there, now exploring Sinner's Road and after that Bilewater. Also stumbled into The Mist. Bad idea overall - hard zones. Took me hours, and the whole ordeal felt kind of empty, since I was most likely not supposed to be there on the first play through since many parts were obviously designed with double-jump or something like that in mind. I did find some fleas though, so....
At least I could get some silk-spools that way. Now back in Citadel and it's much more manageable now that I actually got maps.
Overall a very frustrating part of the game.

>>720279386
I feel like it would've been cool if the boss was a surgeon (or the surgeon) of the Whiteward and was more so based off the scissor enemies you see around the fires in Whiteward, but also had been altering themselves so during the fight parts of their body (arms and face) split open like the patient enemies do, maybe have the boss be able to drain the silk out of the background husks and use that as an attack or something.

>>720279445
I can't do that run either, maybe when I get the double jump or the other lance throw thing

okay, im just abusing clawshot since you can spam it infinitely, better to kill the flying fucks rather than die

also the best tool when platforming, just abuse it on any enemy or spike or to get huge distance.

>game gets significantly easier the further along you are
what a bizarre difficulty curve
barring a few exceptions like bilewater boss I need like one third of the attempts at a fight compared to early bosses

>>720279445
do you have double jump? It makes it infinitely easier. My route had like 6 monsters which you can prekill to save you the hassle

>>720279445
There's another way. Some anon posted this and this is what I used. Worked like a charm with time to spare

>>720278991
fast heal and double heal are pretty good

>>720279445
kill mobs beforehand and dont rest
dont bump yourself on walls while sprinting
its that simple, i did it even without the sprint charm
i had all the mobility upgrades though

I legitimately hate how many spawns are locked behind quest triggered gating and I believe it has no place in this genre at all.

>go into game to check out something someone mention in a thread
>have chakrams equipped
>press "challenge" for no reason
>hornet slaps chakrams together instead of doing her usual challange animation
This game has so many fun little things on my god.

>>720279490
moorwing is so easy to cheese if you use the walls and ceiling

>>720279445
easier with dbl jump, you can just go rip through blasted steps chugging flea brew for gigaspeed

>>720278970
the ads get in the way of your experience no matter what you do, being able to clear the game is entirely in your own hands

>>720279497
reaper is wanderer but worse. worse pogo, slower attack, bonus attack range doesn't really matter
the only benefit of reaper is second tool slot, but wanderer is so op in combat that it doesn't really matter

>>720279291
Please tell me you get a couple of free retries. I don't want to alt+f4 every time I'm not completely confident in beating something like this.

is the red spike at the end of cancer gauntlet in coral land is persistent for getting to the boss? I dont see why else it would be there.

What the fuck us with Fay Mountain, I did all that for the double jump and looking back idk what they were thinking. Is that shit required?

>>720279558
>shit ton of environmental damage vs a path with literally only one buzzsaw on the way
whoever posted it is a peak retard

>>720279558
>sinner's road
that's harder than taking the normal path

>>720278240
They simply didn't notice that it was "too hard". They are so used to the formula after developing the game for years.

>>720279047
what did spinning tower mean anon?

>>720279627
No but it does make things a bit easier

>>720279558
That's a good one, sinners vertical shaft and some jumping on spikes and bells seems to be the hardest parts

>>720279445
do you have double jump?
I went left and got it comfortably timed on 2nd attempt, despite getting hit once
also used the silkspeed accessory thing, not sure how much of a difference it made

>>720279627
If you want the True ending, of course

>bilewater
glad I pirated, now I'll buy the game, leave negative review and refund

>>720278921
spiders teach us so much about females as a whole
>species where males are stronger than females: comes up with concepts such as "women and children first"
>species where females are stronger than males: males are treated as food
they are unironically evil, on a fundamental level

>>720279445
I went left and through blasted lands, use the silk speed boots, and clawline forward over the top of any enemy

not getting hit > going a bit slower in spots to be safe, hits waste lots of time.

team cherry is so fucking evil

>>720279489
I fought him post patch and the second phase attack with the spinning saws is easier to dodge. Other than that felt the same

>>720279008
But they are extremely cute

>>720279291
>5 masks
>no silk regeneration
what's happening here?

>>720279185
>do a cute "awooooo" if you find them
I don't need more of them.

>>720279291
>no silk generation
they are insane

>>720279743
>haha you want a bench, too bad
>the hidden bench is still not beside the boss, and requires a clawline + double jump to not get maggot debuff when you leave
10x worse than blighttown ever was, finding the map alone was bad enough.

It's fucked that Widow doesn't have a second fight since it's one of the most fun bosses

>>720279552
Hollow knight was the same until post game

>>720279627
it's optional but not really, you'll miss out on loads of stuff
single biggest upgrade in the game, too.
game's difficulty is pretty much:
>shit's hard yo
>get wanderer crest
>shit's kinda hard yo
>get double jump
>lol lmao

>>720279816
h-hot...

>>720279552
>>720279814
Silksong has way more gamebreaking builds than HK

>>720279816
this is someone's fetish

>>720279661
nta but I assumed it was whiteward initally because it has a surgeon and elevated spinning fans

>>720279836
Yea like equiping the wanderers crest and automatically reducing the difficulty by half

So the games telling me to go fuck myself right?
Hiding this fucking bench here

>>720279836
bullshit
you get wanderer crest as big upgrade over hunter, then you get architect which can cheese some fights, then you get double jump / harpoon for mobility and.. that's pretty much it as far as impactful upgrades go in the entire game
arguably the skull thing from ant is also impactful. but that's about it

>>720279661
okay, I got it after rethinking surgeon spurned

>>720279643
>work your way up greymoor rafters
>through sinner’s road
>through bilewater
>through the mists
>beat phantom
>two benches are hidden in that path
God help any anons that went that way
Shellwood is chill and blasred steps eats ass plus TLJ is harder but fuck is that still the better option even if it puts you in the underworks instead

>>720279757
You don't get silk from void enemies.
This boss doesn't look too bad. It literally has the standard void attacks and it darts around a bit is all.

>>720279836
Does it? I remember HK having charms that just let you facetank some bosses

>>720278742
joseph anderson killed it first time on stream

>>720278459
Oh man, had a similar feel before realizing he's just sadly dancing his part and accepting defeat.

>>720279291
Man, Silksong is packed with content, it's pretty insane they even dedicated bosses to a mode only like 5% of the players will actually attempt to beat.

just finished the game, next playthrough im gonna have full map on the other monitor and minmaxxing before each next act especially the nail upgrades

>>720279743
Maggots "fan-art" incoming.

One thing I disliked about Hollow Knight was, that you could only set markers, which were even limited in numbers onto the maps. I would have liked the ability to actually name them or write a small note.
>Silksong does the fucking same and has an even bigger map.
*sigh*

>>720279887
>Our hate is forever.
Team Cherry was speaking directly to the player here

What the actual fuck am I supposed to do here? Is this some sort of gay ass puzzle?

>>720279897
Poison silkshot architect.

>>720279552
I think it not being playtested more really fucked up the difficulty curve
people who played HK for years won't struggle with the early game because they're already familiar with movement. but if you last played hk 5 years ago, or never? may god have mercy on your soul
But then you put in 15 hours into it and learn all the movement n shit, get some good upgrades like double jump and suddenly act 2 just doesn't have much of the grind that act 1 had

>>720279968
Use you're brane.

>>720279921
Yes.

>>720279816
i look like this

Do I have to get the act 3 upgrade before I can do the rest of Karak?

i beat the 2nd savage bloatfly in two tries. to be fair i came into this fight with forbidden knowledge about harpoon, but still guys this shit isn't that hard

>>720279968
it's a square in square hole tier '''puzzle''' i believe in you

>>720279816
I'm assuming there's no interaction in this but it'd be neat if Groal had a unique reaction if he swallows Hornet while she's afflicted by maggots, I dunno if such a reaction would be good or bad for Groal (maybe it heals him but clears Hornet of the affliction, or maybe it just deals damage to Groal) but still.

>>720279997
It's too smooth and I haven't slept the entire night as I've played this game non stop.

>>720280041
nah

Reaper boys, ww@

>>720279925
That guy might be a retarded divorced autist but he's stupidly good at games for some reason

Probably the only oneup he has on matthew phimosis

>>720280045
>poison spikes
YOU *clap* DIDNT *clap* BEAT *clap* THE FLY

>>720280045
>le cheese upgrade
sorry, you didn't beat it

>>720279816
Why can't Silksong just pick the maggots off?

Does taking damage on courier missions for settlements lower my score or make things worse for them or anything? I keep resetting every time I lose a notch.

>>720280056
That doesn't happen, but you can throw bombs in his mouth and it'll stun him while it explodes.

>>720279996
>not being playtested more
I seriously doubt the game was playtested at all and if it was then it was probably a bunch of fanboys who were just happy to play the game and told the devs everything was perfect

>>720280045
savage fly 1 is tough because you have dick all
savage fly 2 is a bitch unless you do it really early. either harpoon or double jump trivializes it
lava platforms don't even disappear on their own

>>720280096
Used reaper for 90% of the game and I still cant tell if its OP or shit

>>720280096
omw to beat act 2

>>720280124
Nice, I should've realized he was a Dodongo at heart, I'll give that a try next time I face that boss

So people actually like the wanderer crest?
Beast was useless. Wanderer felt "eeeh" to me. Hunter is fine overall. Reaper is fun, and I enjoy using it for exploring, because the downward attack is useful, but it's weaker in boss-fights compared to hunter.
Didn't get the other crests yet.

>>720280051
Ah, I figured it out now. I was trying to match each pillar with each other rather than what you are supposed to be doing.

>>720280096
i literally couldn't beat last judge for hours on reaper until i switched to wanderer and got it first try
the lag matters when every boss is a reaction speed tester

>>720279996
>>720280127
>NOOOOO IT'S TOO... LE HARD!
genuinely git gud, you're absolute shitters.

>>720280045
Hold on, the grapple hook to enemies gives you i-frames? That‘s busted

>>720280041
you can still go up there but it's hard

>>720279925
>>720280101
i beat it first try too its not hard, its one of the only bosses in the game that doesnt do 2 damage with everything

>>720280104
>>720280105
a win's a win

>>720280194
I don't see how I can get up there

>>720280184
yes

So where does the huge bug who asks you for meat for her brood go in act 3

>>720280045
>no pogos whatsoever until boss is stationary
huntercucks are so fucking lost

>>720280229
Anon...

>>720280127
4 people playtested it.

The two lead devs themselves and their equally good friends.

>>720280101
he's mainly good at 2d platform games, don't watch him play mario odyssey or something

>>720280180
I‘m doing just fine but i also beat every boss in hollow knight on radiance and did all pantheons with bindings. This game was not playtested by regular players

>>720278175
2 extra areas Connect to underworks

>>720280250
+3 damage

>>720280293
>This game was not playtested by regular players.
And why should it be? I don't want some baby shit.

>>720280223
go down, grow a tree, climb the tree, be fast

>>720280106
She secretly loves how they vibrate on her body

>>720279291
What are the chances of there being a secret boss and ending hidden behind 100% steel soul completion? Or maybe the game has been datamined already

>>720280162
The fast hit speed on wanderer makes for fast silk regen and more heals or skill usage

>>720280096
I'm in Act 3 did all the mandatory fights and now I'm just combing around for optional bosses, missing items, etc. Every fight so far except Karmelita has been pretty reasonable.

>>720280127
more games should be made this way

>steel soul
>not steel silk
Missed opportunity

SHAMAN GODS > ARCHITECT CHADS > BEAST BROS >>> HUNTER NORMOIDS >>> WANDERER SISSIES >>>>> REAPER TROONS

Your response?

>>720280276
That makes sense. Hollow knight also launched without the compass charm iirc so masochistic design is just their thing i guess. Going to be interesting how they approach patches

>>720280293
>beat every boss in hollow knight on radiance and did all pantheons with bindings
Your intended to do this before playing Silksong
Like actually I think
I did it too and all the stuff I thought was a good challenge to maintain a mix of fun/difficulty was apparently bullshit to normalfag players, I have NO idea why team cherry said this game would be 'good for beginners'

>>720280371
didn't beat the game tierlist

>>720280252
W-what? I thought all the meat would save her....

>>720280378

Reminder that the main inspirations for Hollow Knight weren't Super Metroid and SotN.
But Faxanadu and Zelda 2. Silksong is the modern day equivalent of a CBT NES game.

>>720280335
Do all crests give the same silk on hit? That seems like an oversight

>>720280371
If this game had a PVP mode then Beast wouodnalmost always win.

>>720280371
wheres witch nigger
>shaman
nice cheese crest

>>720280371
>no witch kings

>>720278829
just switch to the beta branch dummy

>>720280371
shaman is good? i havent use it yet

>>720280371
Where's Witch?

>>720280162
People are afraid of change and choose the closest thing to what they're familiar with, doesn't help that Wanderer has 3x crit thingie, cementing it's place in these stagnant people's heart.

>>720280371
Uhhh bro? Your Witch????

>>720280368
It was called silk soul originally...

>>720280368
Its still dealing with the void

>>720280450
It is fun
I am link master sword

>>720280450
its charge attack has absurd range so you can just spam it and never actually engage enemies

How is not having the compass charm different from just reading a regular map in real life

what did the map lady duel drop, i missed the fight, i hope its not something important

>>720280385
It‘s pretty funny. I went into silksong worried that the game would be too easy since i did everything in hollow knight but now i‘m wondering how the hell absolute beginners are coping

>beat Moorwing in 2 tries
>apparently people are getting their asses handed to them so hard by it that it got nerfed

is everyone just DSP now or is it the influx of FOMO zoomers

>cheesed the first sinner boss fight
i feel regret because it was actually kino as fuck

>>720280096
I didn't buy Silksong to play Hollow Knight, i'm still a Hunter beast chad

>>720280371
BEAST SUCKS FOR PLATFORMING, WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT ITS PERFORMANCE IN BATTLE WHEN YOU CANT FUCKING HOP WITH THAT SHIT

>first sinner boss
holy KINO. I can't believe some of you are saying that HK had better boss fights

>>720280487
Regular maps have landmarks and topography everywhere, 90% of hollow knights maps are featureless rectangles

>>720277852 (OP)
You know I'm not sure that there is a real way to solve this. I just matched up 2 and then assumed as long as long slots per cylinder matched the rest would, but it would've been real easy for the developers to be very mean and make multiple matching slots that don't line up to the full thing. Like how you add loops in a maze to destroy people.

But I haven't seen any real way you're meant to deduct any real solution apart from that. 5 faces per turn with 4 slots and 4 cylinders is a little large for that sort of baby non-puzzle if so.

>>720280443
Other platforms exist beside PC, dummy.

>HONEST CRESTS

Game's as outdated as a retro game but I guess the audience who hasn't caught up with modern standards is still big enough.

>>720280545
In general yeah though it's not by a huge margin, and Silksong is at disadvantage from the lack of DLC

>>720280573
Nobody cares

>>720280516
I put on speed ankles and went fast, it was so fun

>>720280616
I accept your concession.

>>720277992
>tfw we’ll get fifth chorus boss battle

how long did it take you guys to figure out the mist, took me like an hour I think, I really wasn't thinking at all.

Cursed Grandma fucking SUCKS, she’s easy but the fight just goes on forever and I eventually die to attrition. Maybe I should’ve just gotten 9 masks before this, if I even could.

and i'm done
i enjoyed it

>>720278484
It's not a bullet hell because bullet hells require large amounts of designer intent and care to pull off. Most of the bosses in Silksong have roughly the same 3-4 move moveset. I'm a decent way into act 2 and half the bosses are STILL

>a charge across the bottom of the screen
>some projectile thingy
>a jump attack so you can't dodge everything by jumping
>and some add or whatever that covers space and makes it hard to concentrate on the boss
There's barely anything even on the level of NKG and I consider him to be a pretty basic boss.

>>720280607
Hunter is the only honest quest. If you played with an easier pogo you did not beat the game

>>720278153
>Lace
No.

>>720280648
Like 10 minutes
But I was a serial dreamnailer back in HK

So far the ant gauntlet is kicking my ass harder than any boss

>>720280648
I ran around for an hour, then left assuming I needed an item or hint elsewhere, returned 10 hours later and did the same, then finally came back and figured it out in act 3
I feel I was robbed of the phantom fight and parry by my own retardation

>>720280648
My brother walked by and just told me what to do because I had completely forgotten I had the thing.

Name my band

>>720280665
Beast has a harder pogo thoughbeit

Is this the biggest metroidvania ever? What even comes close?
I just beat Act 1, walked into here and I’m just wow’d. Huge fucking area.

>>720280736
>Is this the biggest metroidvania ever
no
>What even comes close
a lot of things

>>720280648
In 5 minutes, after realizing its a loop. I kept an eye on small butterflies throughout the game, because of the intro movie, Lace controlling them through music and generally being everywhere.

>>720280648
my brother was watching me play and figured it out in a couple minutes

>>720280736
Afterimage beats it but for all the wrong reasons

>>720280765
name 3 games
i'm not joking i want some recs

>>720280765
Name them because no Castlevania or Metroid matches this and the former were the biggest.

>>720280736
It's pretty fucking big.
I'm sure there's some doujin kaizo whatever hack of SOTN that's technically 50 bajillion square meters but it's all the same pool of tiles and enemies, in terms of sheer encounter and environment variety Silksong might be the biggest, more important than traversal time any day.

>>720280765
I've never played one as big, pls advise

>>720280765
name them

I tried Ender Lilies and it made me realise how much all the small stuff in Silksong adds to the game

>>720280608
>Literal magnet charm in-game
>Burned out dopamine receptors can't handle walking around
>Brainlessly kills the enemy instead of hitting it once to trigger and collect its spikes

>take a perilous path that requires skill and impeccable timing
>reward is some strung up rosaries
>hitting them will make half of them roll onto the floor, through your characters model and into spikes making them disappear
one of my big complaints

>>720280807
Go under.

For me it's the little rosary tossing cunts.

Silksong genuinely feels AAA-tier even more than The Lost Crown.

I guess that's what happens when you have 7 years and millions of dollars.

>>720279925
Literally who

>>720279925
i killed it second try, it just goes to show you can be the best boss in the game without being a massive pain in the dick to kill

hey so ummm where's the last pale oil???

>>720280857
Your cocksucker is showing.

>>720280807
Fuck swampniggers I wish there was a way to burn that whole shithole down with these fuckers still in it

>>720280514
People are bitching about a 30 second runback to Last Judge. DSP mentality is predominant.

I accept your concession

>>720280854
>Ender Lilies
Boring trash. Refunded after an hour

>>720280854
Silksong has just so many of that its unreal
I think its actually unfair toncompare those sort of qualities to other games in the genre

>>720280875
collect all the fleas

>>720280903
motherfuckers don't even know the real bullshit runbacks in this game
and i am NOT talking about the meme bilewater runback

How?

>>720280875
all fleas

>>720280875
Flea quest, have to be technically postgame Act 3.

>>720280798
Afterimage is huge

>>720280736
It's bug sized

>>720280648
around half an hour I think, including runback time after I get french kissed to death.
At first I thought it's follow the white bugs trail and enter the closest exit at the end, then I thought the number of bugs means something, then after accidentally reaching the halfway point I saw the bugs are moving and try Needolin on the next screen.

>>720280608
Niggerfaggot spine cores are the fastes to collect item in the game. I know your retarded monkey brain didn't realize you have to hit the spines that stick to the walls and ground and not just kill the enemy.

I did literally every except the one right thing.

>>720281001
It's postgame. You'll know.

I never want to pogo again, boss

the fight itself is fine but HOLY SHIT WHY DOES HE HAVE SO MUCH HP

>>720280648
i got the butterfly part down pretty quick but when i entered the next area most of the time i had a ghost standing right at the entrance, impassable, and i didnt know you could even kill them cos they didnt recoil or any shit from getting hit
so i just kept resetting and making no progress kek

>>720279743
Fuck this place in particular. What a horrible fucking retard zone and getting maggoted means you lost fucking 10 spools of silk fuck you!

i don't know if we should call it postgame if it's like a quarter of the game at least

>>720280960
Slurp, slurp, slurp.

If the Shakra fight doesn't have an orchestra/boss version of the song she's singing I'll be disappointed

Around 20-30 minutes, the first 10 were spent dying and figuring out the area. The other 20 were spent figuring out how the fireflies worked.

>>720280656
>Not 112%
Lmao, nice "completion" fag.

>>720281096
Postcredits, at least. Idk being more specific sounds like a spoiler, I think postgame is a good indicator that if you've got them all, you've got them all continue to play.

I wish the Fleamaster gave a better hint on where that postgame flea is, brings it up once and it's a pretty fucking vague description, multiple areas are "mucky" and she's just chilling right around the corner anyway.

>>720281026
>ESA
Whats that one?

what crime did she commit?

>>720281254

>>720281203
That hint is absolute horseshit because the way to get there is exactly what you wouldn't want to do. Which is very fucking kino for a secret but kind of annoying for a place an npc talks about and just says "eeeeeh it's around here lololol"

>>720281059
Im sure you are supposed to fully upgrade the nail for these fights. The other act 3 bosses without them are just way too long for how easy they are

conductor's melody and the beastfly fights are the biggest load of horse shit. actually ruined the game for me.

>>720281274

Japanese voice actress

>>720281359
No, they don't speak actual words. They do take inspiration from different languages.
Shakra is slavic, Phantom is Japanese, Sherma is French and I think the ladybug game master is spanish.

>>720281359
both VAs are japanese women so even if they're not using real words, their vocalisation habits come through

>thiefs mark charm indentifies you to fellow thieves
has anyone checked if theres a special interaction with the rooms where you encounter thieving little bastard npcs that suck your rosaries?
i cant remember any of the locations i fought them

You're not crazy, there's definitely some real words and phrases hidden in the gibberish. Bilewater fuckers and the thieves straight up speak English. Heavily slurred but definitely there. There's some JP and French hidden in other places.

>>720281359
lace has a japanese voice actress

>>720281359
yes the devs are full on weebs and even love shit like frieren
not unexpected and may as well be canon
phantom does say 消えろ

>>720281448
I'm most of the way through act 2 and I never even noticed that it resets to the beginning when dying.

>>720281359
I noticed it too

>>720280648
Almost instantly
What took me a while was figuring out you could just jump attack the wraiths when they howl and dash and just loop that
Previously I just ran like hell

Jesus fuck the second lace fight is annoyig

>>720281359
I just keep hearing desu while fighting lace

>>720281359
All I hear is Hornet calling everyone her "husband". She says this to women too. Confusing.

>>720281493
Yeah I didn't notice until quite late, it was the same in the first game but the UI had a special animation that made it more obvious

>>720281516
I thought it was pretty good. Wait till you get to the Slab boss if you thought that was annoying

>>720281305
CRUSTY CRAB

>>720281348

>Chapel lady in the intro is literally saying "Hello" and "Come on" when waking up hornet
>Filthy Bilewater needle fucks whispering "Shinderu" when stalking you
>The flying bell head in Deep Docks literally goes "Oi" like a british police officer, matching his portly appearance
there's probably more, but it's very clear that TC don't really care about making the language feel alien. They just let the VAs do whatever fits the vibe of the characters they're supposed to play.

Does anyone know what triggers Eva's upgrades? Is it just crests acquired?

>>720281565
She moves so fast and upredictably that it pisses me off.

>>720281587

>>720281623
Crests acquired and memory lockets used is all I've heard works.

>>720281615

>>720281590
indeed. You also get permanent, crest agnostic slots later in the game for an extra 2

>>720281623
i think silk skill count too, maybe memory unlocker?

What is the best area theme and why is it Lost Verdania

>>720281310
you do if you find the researcher before him

>Architect crest with buff tools

How is this balanced?

>>720281615
Thieves, the little round cunts, have the longest phrases, straight up "Gimme yo stuff" and "I want that".

It doesn't matter, it's not like HK has a conlang, random sounds with the occasional real word thrown in is fine. Cute easter eggs.

Is the shakra fight missable? She's not where she's supposed to be

>>720281635
it's a dance. try to be patient. I got baited a lot into the parrys when i was too aggressive. after I slowed down the fight was a lot more manageable

>>720281717
That's retarded.

>>720278742
it's just amped up Widow moveset, Karmelita was way better

>>720281729
Pogo is slightly not good oh no :(

>>720281735
I heard yes if you go from Act 2 to 3

>>720281746
I fucking hate these rythm based bosses. I'm just gonna magdump her with poison cogflies and silkshot.

Is it possible to get locked out of act3?

just got to act 2
how much more of the game i have left?

>>720281789
well fuck me then

>>720281789
how do you trigger it?

>>720281832
you are at max 1/3 of the way there

>>720281832
You're like 30% through maybe.

>Verdania is the only area I liked visually
>Cannot enter again

>>720281812
No you can reload your save and go back if you beat the boss without unlocking it

>literally hides one of the best bosses in the game behind an obscure secret ceiling

??¿¿??¿¿

>>720281853
I heard you have to call her in bellhart and talk to her but I missed it too and I'm pretty bummed about it

>>720278742
one of the few bosses where i wouldn't mind if they gave it some extra hp
it's really fun but it's over too quickly

is phantom the hardest boss?
aside from true ending boss

>>720281368
do I really have to find all the fleas though

>>720281884
which one?

>>720281884
It's a reward for being a cool person who explores and pay attention

>>720281920
lol no, not even close

>parrying (clash) resets your attack cooldown
>so you can parry even flurry attacks by mashing your own attack
This is very satisfying. And with Hornet's attacks seemingly having longer active frames than Knight's, that makes the game more parry-friendly in general. Plus the whole parry silk art.
Same applies to projectiles, so you can deflect multiple in a row, like those poison darts in Bilewater. They throw two, and you time your attack to deflect the first dart, you can also deflect the second, if you just double tap.

>>720281729
Bankruptcy

>>720281790
I don't think poison stacks, might be best to stagger the flies.
They definitely want you to shit out spells, though. The auto-regen on the first couple of pips so you get a spell access at 5 silk pips but healing requires a full stack is 100% intentional for you to not get hit and piss damage as a reward, spells are so good in Silksong.

>>720281884
>ceiling you have to stand on the edge of a chest to jump onto
Absolutely fucking hilarious I don't know what pushed me to even try jumping there

>>720281968
Except trashmobs just bodyslam with their flurry you so parrying doesn't matter most of the time

>>720281968
>boss walks into you while attacking
what now?

Alright, I think I'm ready to move on to Act 2.

I also got the map for the Choral Chambers
Is there anything I'm missing or anything important I should do before I move on to The Citadel? I'm currently just chilling with Sherma in the steps. I've done basically every quest that I could find in both towns and around, my current flea count is half+1.

>>720281990
I have no idea how much damage poison even does

>>720281968
parry makes the game easier
the clash one
you didnt beated the game if you used it

>>720281874
>>720281880
damn...

>>720281932
You don't need all of them but at least the game marks them on the map. I beat all act 3 with only 2 upgrades though it isn't that bad, try to get at least 3

>>720282029
>he didn't do The Mist

Is there something I'm missing on the surface?

>>720281990
The Weavelight (fast regen plus extra regen pip) seems crazy strong. If you use Silkstorm you recover your first pip before the animation even ends. But apparently the game is easy enough to beat in an hour and a half anyways so it kind of feels pointless.

>>720281884
That makes it more kino

Does this game has any missables or timed quests? Is it possible to brick yourself?

>>720282002
>>720282007
Yea, it still doesn't prevent contact damage, if you come into contact with their hitbox.

6 hours later and I still haven't found the last craftmetal for 100% completion, nice

>>720281920
Your post made me realize the game doesn't have any hard bosses
I can't think of a clear "hardest boss" right now
Yet reddit complains it's too hard. Curious

>>720281990
>>720281790

Lmao get rekt

>>720282093
A memento, the bugs you kill for the journal and it's a quest location later

>>720282114
Yes, yes, Yes

I completely missed this area, do I need double jump to reach these unfilled areas? I think I've gone everywhere I can reach, I was kind of disappointed with the big reward being an ingredient for the chef quest.

>>720282091
The Mist is kinda sequence-breaking in the current state of the game, isn't it? Seems like the game logic doesn't properly account for the player going that route before opening the gate.

>>720282114
You can miss a couple bosses so far

>>720282114
Yup but only for bestiary and other minor shit like lore. Still awful game design

>>720282126
all bosses are easy they all have 3-4 attacks at most
im just curious on whats the hardest or coolest for anons

>>720278153
I would rather play as Quirrel, but since he is fucking dead...

>>720282126
Black Lace is hardest to me, but only by a little
Nothing was really gigafuck hard

>>720281703
How do you even get to Verdania?

I know this is gonna sound like i‘m just a shitter but i really feel like the game would be better if there was no contact damage. You can‘t play nearly as aggressive as you should because enemies constantly dash forward and backwards which damages you even when they‘re not attacking

>>720282164
It's important for the last act also. And I think you do need the double jump but you can attempt the climb. You just have to trigger the root at the bottom

>>720282091
Silly Anon, the Mist takes you to the Grand Bellway
I also don't think there is anything in that area besides the connection to the Bellway

>>720282170
Yeah, I don't know about that. I just alt+f4'd the moment the game said Act 2.

>>720282041
About 12 damage, 2 per tick. Worth about a +2 needle hit.
So whatever for Act 3 bosses but pretty fucking goated through all Act 1/2.

>>720282170
they wouldn't have made it lead directly to the fast travel room in the citadel if it wasn't an intentional path
is the last judge thing even still an issue after the recent patch?

>>720282221
atleast no 2 mask contact damage, that is just pure bs especially when bosses have adds

>>720282183
>bestiary
huh????????

>>720282126
Only the 2nd savage beastfly If you fight it early because it's awfully designed and unfair. Other than that karmelita slightly and then the final boss which is isshin levels of difficulty

>>720282201
hes not dead hes not dead fuck you he just laid down his needle to settle down and get bug married and have bug babies thats all

>>720282170
It becomes very weird if you go to the gate from the citadel so yeah

SEVEN YEARS

>>720282221
Contact damage is fine for balance and spacing reasons but it should not do 2 damage ever specially since some bosses randomly pop beneath you

>>720280959
Unintuitive, what is a core ?

>>720280959
you mispelled fastest

Is this like a real instrument or just a piece of metal?

>There are Steel Soul exclusive bosses
What the fuck man

>>720282197
most fun boss: first sinner
hardest boss: i dunno probably savage beastfly 2 i think i died to him the most of anyone so far

>>720282389
Wierd chime thing. Probably used to tune an instrument.

Should I do anything before getting this last one? I'm assuming it's the end of act 2

>>720282315
>balance and spacing reasons
Then increase the frequency of enemy attacks. It‘s not like you have easy i-frames so you have to constantly move anyway

>>720282389
I think Japan has a traditional instrument like that (probably wooden though), could be wrong

>>720279445
Just go through Wisp Thicket

>>720280614
>In general yeah
Grimm and no one else doesn't count as better boss fights plural btw.

>>720282429
Nah point of no return is way way later don't worry

>>720282401
It's so fucked up but so funny. What the fuck do you mean there are new bosses in the permadeath mode. Die to new boss you have never seen 20 hours in and have to restart all over again and you can't rush because risking it and dying is also a reset.
Funniest shit I've ever heard.

>>720282467
You're probably thinking of these; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geMtxlrT3PQ

>>720282513
cool

ill bet they made the game really hard cause one reviewer said HK was too casual and they took offense

>>720282429
End of Act 2 probably isn't for a long while, getting Act 3 requires 100% all sidequests and shit, one of which requires all Shakra maps.
You gotta go up the elevator for final bosses.


>what should I do
Buy everything because grinding in Act 3 is a fucking nightmare.

>>720282126
Does the first game even have hard boss outside of Godhome stuff?

>>720282540
>3 Australians
they probably did it just to fuck with people because they think it's funny

>Sister of the Void
You think you're clever huh

>>720282126
I'm pretty sure normies just think a boss is too hard if they can't beat it first try. I'm a shitter and at worst have died to some bosses maybe 10 times and still think they're all fair, just the right amount of challenging

>>720282540
It's hard because they've spent the last 7 years tuning Godhome.

>>720282567
White Defender. When the bosses get fast enough that you need to keep fall speed in mind for their next attack string I think you can call it hard in good faith.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyotQ-vBrDg
ongbal even destroyed silksong when everyone cries its too hard
goated

>>720282567
Nothing to the level this one has other than Nightmare Grimm who was DLC, most of the Radiant bosses in Godhome are harder than these ones though

this game will be a gold mine for streamer rage clips.

>>720282227
That was a fun climb, but I died before reaching any kind of bench. Assuming this game's endings works like Hollow Knight's and I can do the bad ending before cleaning up extra objectives to get the better(?) endings, is there stuff I should avoid doing to make sure I can get the bad ending?

how do I get the journal entry for the water maggots and sandworms?

Game feels pretty good once you're on the last Nail upgrade, but unfortunately that comes with the melanin injected enemies that feel infinitely worse than anything else.

I'm doing okay with the bosses but I can't seem to wrap my head around the more complex platforming in this game. I can't be accurate or fast enough with all the actions required. I don't know why my brain's broken like this, I used to be better at platformers. Looking at other playthroughs and seeing what's required to do the rest of the game is making me lose hope completely.

How the fuck do i get this flea
i tried from underworks
i tried from wisp thicket
WHERE IS IT

>>720282710
>>720282727
thx

>>720282540
it was me i said that in my steam review

High Halls arena is filtering me

what advice to get through the coral house slaughter house?

Isn't normal ending the best ending for the resident of Pharloom itself?
>No more silkcontrol
>No act 3 victims from Hornet and void

>>720282721
he has no proof
ongbal has many haters but he is the best and best always get hated

I got the parry and that shit is fucking busted, is there any reason to use other silk skill?

>>720282850
Hornet literally silk controls them and becomes the new queen

>>720282241
I'm not saying the path is not intentional. Given the game's non-linear nature, I'm sure the devs intended it to be an alternative route inside. I just mean that somewhere along the way, the proper programming for the main quest progression for that path got lost.

>>720282661
just pick "bind" when you kill the final boss. if there's no choice, that means you didn't get the good ending requirements yet so you're forced into the bad ending.
if you pick the other option, it permanently locks you out of the bad ending.

>>720282789
The later platforming is genuinely easier than the earliest platforming. Nothing in the entire game compares to trying to pogo only some of the early shit with hunter not even stuff like the Surface climb.

>>720282645
Can I be a contrarian and say Nightmare Grimm is not that hard.
He's not much faster than regular Grimm and his lava tower has a massive punish window.

Worst thing about Grimm is his stupid pincushion attack. Scripted to do it 3 times a fight, sitting on your ass playing hopscotch for 20 seconds because he's literally invulnerable during it, shit move. "Do you remember you can short hope" yes I remember this isn't difficult let me play the game now. Also the hard damage cap on his stagger is gay.
No other boss in any of these games has an ultimate you straight up can't punish.

>>720282894
But she is not insane like granny Silk

>>720282831
best crest is pretty good for it
the last part can be cheesed by wall clinging, they can't hit you in the corners and you can tool spam or chip them down slowly

>>720282873
Boss can move out and it can leave you in disadvantageous position in the end.

>>720282813
Underworks. There's a connection to it at the top of the tower over the lake with the double wisp spawners.

>>720282847
other than being patient and learning enemy movesets, since it isn't that hard, spam tools they recharge for free on dreams

>Styx says Hornet's age is reeking
Is Hornet a Lolibaba

>>720278036
Yeah, the Wraiths only appear in the Mist, when the mist disappears if you didn't kill them, you're locked out of completing the journal.

>>720282813

theres no reason to hold off on acts.

>>720282914
Thanks.

>>720283020
Shit. How many do you need to kill? They're normally good at not making this possible aren't they

I wish I could disable the fucking wings. Going back to do the secret Far Fields platforming challenge from under the bellway is a lot harder with them.

What charm am I missing? it's the last charm I need to have all of them

>>720278036
there are a bunch of missable journal entries i wouldn't bother unless you are really dedicated

>>720283020
actually I never killed them since I though you couldn't and I have the entry unlocked. Don't know If it's the same with verdania enemies

>>720283040
no shit nigga, i'm standing right above it in underworks

>>720283020
Wait, does the Mist disappear once you beat Phantom? Fuck.

>>720282272
2nd Savage beastfly became an instant joke the moment I switched to the default silk skill to oneshot the stupid extras.

>>720283106

>>720283081
if you hold down you dont double jump and immediately glide
use it before they patch it out, it's already gone in the beta. you can use it to cheese some platforming sections since you can double jump AFTER gliding this way.

>>720282917
you say that but I was only able to do the Mt. Fey climb with the custom spawnpoint mod and even then I really struggled. And even with the double jump it seems I'm just really clumsy moving around the environments.

>>720283012
First sinner in the Slab

Is there any way to cheese the gauntlet fight that ends with 2 big hammer guys?
I seriously don't think it's possible to do it legit because of their wide swings and cramped space with 2 of them at the same time.

>>720283098
it is, i know i didn't kill enough enemies to get all their journals filled out there and i have full completion of the area.

>all the Lacenet faggots jumping ship only because Lace is basically a lolibaba
Lol

>>720283080
I think I killed like 6? I only killed them because the bitches were right at the start or close to too in the way, they're not hard to kill though, their only attack just lounges at you and you can just jump and downwards attack, I also spammed tools.

>>720282680
Ohhhhhhhh

>>720283215
unironically just lock in
focus on dodging using the walls if necessary and wait for them to stack, then you can engage

>>720283215
well, bring your tools for one. Thats the point of them.
And yeah, the only dangerous move is the jump and the big explosion, just keep poking and backing off, get them both on the same side of you.

>>720283218
Why did Silk teach her the retarded speech

>>720283349
>Honestly I wanna pull my hair out whenever Hornet or NPC speak the fake ass middle age speech

I'm annoyed by it too

>>720283353
it might be able to break progression or something, at least that's my best guess why they are getting rid of it.

>Food "breaks" if I fast travel
>Supplies too
What the fuck is this logic

if you think about it hard enough the true ending is basically yuri

>>720283020
Oh, thank GOD I killed them.
Are there any other enemies I should max out their kill count the moment I see them?

is the railgun act 3 only?
he doesn't react to the ruined weapon

>>720283470
It's not him, it's a table next to one of the benches

>>720283426
the logic is that it's supposed to be a challenge, given that sk is a video game

>>720283470
I am so salty I missed out on this because I repaired the silk launcher as soon as I saw it as a shop option

>>720283215
>Is there any way to cheese the gauntlet fight that ends with 2 big hammer guys?
it's the one place in the game where wanderer crest isn't optimal because you don't get 2 tool slots
the moment you see them spawning throw a bunch of tacks on the ground, then bombs once he spawns. should kill him outright or put him really low

HELP
there was a table thats used to craft an explosive weapon for 1 craftmetal, but i forgot where it is, does anyone know?
i just searched all of the lower area of deep docks

>>720283470
it's right under where bird is

clawline + float + clawline x100 is so useful, you can do more than 1 so you get tons of forward movement.

>>720283019
As far as we know there's 4 major time periods in Hollow Knight.
>pre-Pale King Ascension
A lot of truly ancient stuff, wyrms, abyssal voids, proto-and-psuedo civilizations have been around.
>Hollownest Dawn Age
Dreamers are running stuff, Pale King is getting groovy, moths being blasphemous, all nice until Radiance emerges.
>Hollownest Glory Age
Radiance is sealed via Dreamers and Pale King basically jerking off into the void for a very long time, Hollownest continues for so long that it claims itself to be the first civilization and people generally believe it.
>Hollownest Decrepit Age
Radiance unseals herself because Hollow Knight can't stop thinking about how much he loves the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, things go bad. It has been so long since the Glory Age that people have forgotten what most of what Hollownest is and only mercenaries and treasure hunters know about it.
>Hollownest to Hornet's Pharloom Funtime Adventure
Long enough for Hornet's equipment to go to shit at least.

Hornet has been around since the beginning of the Glory Age since she was a condition for one of the Dreamers to be part of a door. Yeah she's fucking oooooold, the babaest lolibaba.
And somehow Quirrel is older since he was a Dreamer's assistant and he's just a regular bug.

>Shakra thinks Hornet looks really young
>Sherma calls her a maiden
>shes an old ass fuck

Hornet is the closest thing to a thousand year old loli in the game but unfortunately shes probably closer to her teens in appearance considering we see her actual child form

how do I get this motherfucker??

>>720283470
This is the one thing I'm genuinely mad at in this game. It's very cool, fucking awesome even that there is a secret place to get a different type of gun, but the fact that it's the only missable item in the game makes me mad. If the game had a bunch of missable shit I wouldn't be half as mad but this being the ONE thing you can miss out on is so annoying. My fault I guess for listening to hornet and going to a talented crafter.

>>720283796
I had no upgrades for this exact reason until near the end of act 2 lmao.
Fought first sinner with no upgrades and it was so much fucking fun.

>>720283796
you really never looked around town or noticed the ladders? how

>>720283837
I can't remember any indication that I could climb something. I saw people frolicking on the ground level and thought that was that.

>>720283796
Yeah that's kinda retarded in a game like this anon.

wait I need all journal entries fully completed for the memento? Yeah fuck that not killing 60 maggots one bomb at a time

I've gotten the float, dash, and wall climb but I still see a few areas that I can't reach with no enemies to pogo off of. is there another movement tech to be found? if so just "yes" will suffice as an answer

>>720283756
Her Needle was all busted and torn from pure aging, and we know there was a fully capable Nailsmith in Hollownest until roughly the end of HK1 so there's no reason it should be in the completely trash stated it is in Silksong.
Which is an inference but I don't think a giant leap in logic.
