How goes your Steel Soul run, anon? You are doing it properly, right? You're not quitting anytime you get to 1 HP, right?

>>723385786 (OP)
no, im quitting every time i get to 2 HP

All done. Died to Lost Lace once before succeeding, 20 hours down the drain

>>723385786 (OP)
Lost my first Steel Soul run to an optional mask shard platforming section in Shellwood yesterday. My fault for going for it with Beast crest, and also for not coward-quitting the moment I reached 1 mask like anybody else would have.

>>723387085
I know that one, this and the flea challenge right at the entrance are the toughest part of Shellwood if you don't know what you're doing.
For the mask it's best to stock up on silk beforehand, then when you grab the mask immediatly dash left before the two exploding bugs appear. Then with your silk and Silkspear you simply snipe the remaining two and you're free.

>>723386483
How many attempts?

I'm putting the game down. After nearly 300 hours. The strange part is I'm still shit. I never got good. Overall its top 3 best games I've ever played. The art design is so excellent and strong that other aspects often appear lackluster. I hope the DLC moves in the direction of lore and exploration over combat and sweaty hands. There are other ways to provoke the player than mechanical difficulty, and they know how to do this. The biggest disappointment was the lore, and perhaps the writing in general. They had a few good ideas, but none of them felt developed. The Weavers' almost space age technology, the surface town, the mechanics of the haunting, the existence of robots, soul extraction... a good writer would've woven these ideas into the thematic currents of the world and each aspect would've reinforced the others. Instead Pharloom feels like a set of grounded, logical levels mixed in with gamey arcade levels. I will wait for the randomizer mod to come out. The Unravelled was the only boss in the game that made me scream.

>>723387462
Volt tool turns that fight into a joke. Just volt its ass and focus on dodging the butt bombs. Didn't even have to heal.

>>723389570
Cool, cool, but did you get the lava savage fly under 3 tries?

>>723390113
No, because of the flying fire Hitlers. I needed 6 tries till it dawned on me how to kill them fast.
The first Beastfly took me 10+ tries, same with the Last Judge, Sister Splinter took 15+ attempts and Unravelled can go fuck itself with ±30.

I've been playing the game almost every day since release night. I'm coming up on 80 hours, and I'm in act 3. Haven't beaten any of the 4 big bosses yet, still exploring around.

How slow am I going?

>>723391329
The flying adds in the second Beastfly fight are cancers, particularly when there's two that shows up at once, I have no idea how to reliably get out of the shitcan when it happens besides spamming Thread Storm and hoping the big dude doesn't object

>>723388384
around 70 save and quits

>>723392927
Hollow victory

>>723392005
>besides spamming Thread Storm
That and clawline are supposed to be how you beat it. There's a reason it doesn't pop up until after you've already beaten the Dancers and visited Songclave, because at that point you have two ways to get the clawline before you start backtracking for extra secrets in older areas. Beastfly2 is supposed to be a boss you do on the way to or from getting the heart piece in the lava escape room.

pretty slow, im at 40 hours with only the final boss left and the completion tool says im at 80% completion without using a guide

ez refund

>>723385972
Cowards live longer, they always say

>>723395204
Cope.

>>723397870
Yeah I guess I don't use Clawline enough, I'm always worried that ranged enemies will start their attack when I throw the needle and I'll connect point-blank

>>723385786 (OP)
>You are doing it properly, right?
I am beating Steel Soul as the devs intended. :^)

>>723390041
best bit is both ends are separate hitboxes so when they spawn close you can hit them with the same threadstorm to absolutely melt the boss

FUCK SETH, this is the worst boss in the game, who the fuck designed this shit
HURR LET ME TELEPORT RANDOMLY ANYWHERE, HURR LET ME BLOCK EVERYTHING
FUCK SETH HE DESERVES POISON TACKS AND COGFLIES

>>723385786 (OP)
Died to bell beast lmao
I hadn't played for 2 weeks since so it was my fault. Replaying the game and getting speed achievements before trying again - playing fast but controlled, dying is a massive waste of time anyway

>>723399505
Kek ok. How about the above Bone Bottom.

Thank you! I take it back you're not a retarded cunt

SOULSLOP, OH ZANZIBART LEND ME YOUR IFRAMES

>>723400804
I can't believe it was that one. You're still a bit of a retard to be honest man. But who isn't these days.

>>723385786 (OP)
Been thinking about trying the 5 hour speedrun achievement and normal steel soul in one go. Should I go for some upgrades or just rush to the finish line with the one nail upgrage you get for free? I never did a speedrun before.

>>723403246
Just get the free one and the one from the Vaults, you don't really need it but there's plenty of time to get it

>>723403246
Yeah, go for it if you have a good grasp on Cogwork Dancers, Widow and Last Judge / Phantom.

>>723403246
Practise bosses via debug first. Especially Trobbio.

>>723404112
I'm more likely to be filtered by the high halls gauntlet than those bosses, especially without mask upgrades.

>>723404205
Is there a mod to practice bosses?

>>723404278
Really depends on what tools you grab. There's also that SS-exclusive blue tool that gives you additional red tool uses, that was handy for spamming that gauntlet down.

last judge or phantom?

>>723404278
>>723404538
*yellow tool, it was yellow.

>>723395204
hollow knight

>>723404620
Last phantom

>>723404620
Both S tier, but Phantom's approach, appearance in a column of steam, and song all put her ontop. She's too cool, moreso before her sister is a cringelord.

>>723404358
Yeah, a few. Download the new debug from nexus.

>>723404358
Just manually copy saves.

>>723403246
If you're on Steel Soul then you'll have tons of time since you will by definition not be wasting a bunch of time retrying bosses, which means you'll have a couple hours to farm upgrades. Retrying bosses on minimal upgrades is the biggest timewaster for cheevo attempts.

>>723404620
If you're the speedrun guy, Phantom. Much faster route not just to get to her, but also up through the Citadel in act 2.

>>723404620
>Last Judge route
+ Easier to reach (since you only have to go through Blasted Steps)
+ Pinstress is near so you can grab charged attack (need to fight the Conchflies but they're easy enough)
+ Craftmetal on your way
- Only options once reaching the Citadel are Underworks (the long way round) or climbing the balances, and it still all the way opposite to Songclave
- Need to reach Songclave to get the Whiteward key to actually access the part of Underworks with the Clawline

>Phantom route
+ Directly starts near Clawline and the Bellway station / Songclave path
+ Unlock Bilewater while you're at it
- Route is harder and takes longer
- If you're on SS mode the Mist is very risky as an area

Basically, it depends on how fast you want to get Clawline. Phantom is also way easier than Last Judge as a fight

>>723385786 (OP)
Is "doing it properly" meaning to install that mod that doesn't delete the save file?

>>723405315
>Phantom is also way easier than Last Judge as a fight
I wouldn't say easier, but Last Judge takes longer due to being really bulky for that part of the game.

>>723405979
Last Judge can fuck you up by choosing to jump on you several times in a row when you're running away, and he can attack from offscreen.

Whenever Phantom jumps (so about every ten seconds), you get a free space to heal

Is it possible to just stand your ground and parry these guys? They have 3 attacks: a two-hit combo, a big swing, and one where they jump on you. But the windup pose for the latter two seems to be exactly the same.
And yes, I know they're piss easy if you just pogo them to death.

Lost lace is such a trash fight. You can even see what's going on because of the projectile spam, she teleports into you and the hitboxes are trash. And it's another rehash.

>>723406964
She doesn't teleport into you

>>723406867
Learning to deflect regular enemies with multiple attacks is a waste of brain power when you can deal with them in countless other ways. The only regular enemies I bothered to deflect were these fuckers and the gigachad ants.

>>723406964
you may not believe this, but It was you who ran into her.

Lost Lace keeps parrying all my witch heals lol what a bitch

>>723406964
I'm sorry but according to the official /v/ tier list it appears you are a cock-sucking faggot.

Two things I never discovered that I've learned about since- apparently there's a way to get from Greymoor to the silkeater guy in Sinner's Road? How do you do it, I always went the long way.
Also apparently you can get from Sinner's to Bilewater? I always went the long fall way from the zone with the record player guy. How do you do that?

You didn't beat Steel Soul. You didn't beat the game. You accomplished nothing. You fucking loser.

>>723407672
>>723407854
I never quite had this problem. I didn't panic dodge, I didn't think there was soooo much stuff to dodge, I just spaced away from her calmly and she'd appear under my feet.
It's bad design.

I play the bosses nice and slowly with lots of space, one hit at a time. It's why I one shot Seth.

>>723407501
Replace groal.png with a map of bilewater and bump it to Amazing

>>723407564
>>723407672
She won't teleport on top of you, maybe in extremely rare circumstances, I've beat her enough times, you're just running into her

>>723408047
>fat, sweaty, unemployed slob who does nothing but play this shitty game all day every day posts his no life sweatlord webm as an "argument"

>>723407501
I start to believe the people who appreciate Karmelitta do so because she has so much HP and on top of the random blocks she does, the fight takes long enough so people actually see her moveset. I've seen max upgraded beast and wanderer speedrunners that melt bosses before they dish out 3 attacks. Of course in cases like these, bosses will feel like they are bad.

>>723408132

>>723392005
I beat the second beastfly by going back to the entry of the area every time adds are summoned, this despawns them and you can get a couple of hits on the boss. Very slow method, but effective.

Weird I didn't hear anyone else about the pursuer tier grab on lost lace. Literally pulls you in from behind her.

>>723385786 (OP)
What's Steel Soul? I play all my games with cheats on, so I get to have fun and explore without worrying about having to waste time restarting.

>>723408047
Man does flinstone really do that much damage? she entered the 4th fase where she does that 3 white circle slashes in 9 hits, 4 with flintstone.
Pretty calm and pro fight. Maybe my problem with with fight is that I need to play calmer. I'm always spazzing around, dashing everywhere and and using the clawline which leaves you in the air with limited movility.

>>723409094
>I don't play games
You definitely belong here.

>>723407559
To get to Styx from Greymoor, you just bounce off balloon until you find the secret entrance, there's no secret wall or anything. IIRC it's the big room to the right of the bell in Greymoor.

The entrance to Bilewater from Sinner's Road is through the vertical room before Styx's room, there's a secret breakable wall next to a corpse

>>723409206
Someone said they changed it so it's based off of Nail damage so with the Hunter buff and Barbed Bracelet it probably does a lot now, I don't know how it works exactly or how it worked before if it was even changed. Just react to her attacks, there's no point trying to attack her first because she teleports away anyways so you won't get to wail on her

>>723409192
>>723409286
Don't worry, you'll grow up and understand one day... hopefully.

>>723385786 (OP)
I'll wait for the Godhome DLC.
On my last run (where I went for the sub 5 hour achievement) I got filtered by Last Judge again for some goddamn reason and the HH gauntlet took a lot of tries as well. I cleared both on my first try in the run *before* that one. I'm just too inconsistent still.

But honestly Steel Soul just sucks as a challenge. You can't just have a go at it and retry over and over because then you'd only practice the early game and never the late game. I'd really prefer if it worked like doing a 1CC run in an arcade game where you're allowed to continue after dying but your run doesn't count anymore. Just make it so that the UI goes back to normal (maybe include a horrifying cutscene or some shit) and let the game continue.

>>723409094
Honestly, this obnoxious game comes close to deserving it.

Honestly phase 1 and 2 of lace isn't too bad. It's all the shit that's on the screen in phase 3 that kills me. She hides inside her own attacks, and since there's all kinds of waterfalls and shit on the foreground blocking the view I literally can't see where she is and what she's doing. I get that they were going for the whole void aesthetic but they making everything the same color was a mistake here.

>>723409791
White Palace would've certainly made me quit if I hadn't used cheats.

>>723409610
>cowardly manchild is too frightened of adversity to play games without cheating
>tells others to grow up
Your skin looks like my shit.

>>723409806
I found phase 3 much easier because she stops parrying.

>>723409709
If you want to practice SS, simply make a regular run and use it to practice bosses and gauntlets until you're confident you can beat them first try.

>>723410109
For me it's the opposite, 1 and 2 I can do hitless pretty consistently.

I wish Sinner got VOIDed in Act 3
That'd be CRAZY

>>723409806
Disable screen shake in the options menu if you haven't already. All that chaotic screen shaking in the second phase of lost lace unironically throws me off. I do a lot better without it.

I just beat the final pantheon for the first time. Once I stopped focusing on DPSing AbsRad and actually focused on avoiding all damage no matter what, it got easier.

>>723391329
>Unravelled
>30
lmao

>>723410842
What not the 15 Sister Splinter attempts, at least with the Unravelled you can fight him at varied strength

>>723411005
Yeah dying at all to sister splinter is crazy, maybe if you can't deal with her adds that well. Though I will admit I did lose a steel soul to her just because I was going for cheeky hits during her triple hit attack and misjudged how much bigger the hitbox is than the animation twice in a row

>>723407945
The achievement popped, so you can eat ass

>>723411948
splinter on release could be way easier or way harder out of RNG with how much it wanted to spam adds

>>723385786 (OP)
I beat Steel Soul the way the devs intended.

Hornet? More like Horny LOL!

>>723413686
The trick is to save all your silk and just use it to Silkspear every add

I wouldn't mind a Steel Soul/Heart of HK, but TC's change in design philosophy for SS is so hostile to the player that it sounds like a miserable challenge. The game just throws way too much bullshit at you and it takes so fucking long for you to be strong, even if you rush upgrades and tools.

>>723413990
Using 4 silk on removing the 1 enemy too many instead of taking 4 damage and using 9 to heal is the answer to every arena fight in the game and yet people still can't seem to figure out how to beat the High Halls Forum without ragequitting

>>723407501

Too bad about Witch crest's bind. I rather like everything else about it, except for that.

How bad am I at the original HK?

Not even gonna botther. I can understand speerun achievements (Muramasa had fun ones when combined with 1 hp), but this shit's retarded.

>>723416967
I don't know, like top 5%?

>>723416967
The fact that you beat pantheon 5 by itself makes you in the top 5% and doing them with all bindings, even if not simultaneously, probably makes it closer to top 1%.

>>723417484
It doesn't actually take that long when you know what you're doing. You can easily do it within less than half the required time.

>>723397954
HORNETBROS NOT LIKE THIS

>>723419796
Top 1% for P5 with bindings one at a time? Really? Even I have that and I don't feel like I'm truly good at the game. I think the true top 1% is P5 all bindings.

>>723416708
fighting lost lace with witches crest was pure suffering i ended up just counting to myself and healing when she phase transitions

>>723397954
>this mindbroke /v/

>>723422228
That would be top 0.1%

Bell eater, Pintress and Raging Conchfly are the only reason why I haven't started a steel soul run yet, they are the only bosses that I had trouble on my second playthrough

how do I get to the marked location?

>>723423135
Not being retarded, mostly. I got there the first time I got to that area, without any upgrades.

>>723407501
I've never understand why people like first sinner that much, it isn't terrible but at least for me was more forgettable than Widow.

Also why Tormented Trobbio and Last Judge so low?

What the fuck was wrong with Weavers and Lace?

>>723410109
Same. Her parry and accidentally running into her when she repositions fucked me over the most, whereas the new moves in the subsequent phases are easily dodged and give plenty of time to get free hits in.

quick sling isn't very good, all it lets you do is throw your tools faster, you're still limited to the same total number per rest which is generally much more relevant than how fast you can throw them.

>>723389297
>The Unravelled was the only boss in the game that made me scream.
For me it was Savage Beastfly 2 and Broodmother. Unravelled is critically weak to poison tacks and the floor sawblade

>>723398204
>always worried that ranged enemies will start their attack when I throw the needle and I'll connect point-blank
You should be. That killed me 3 times during High Halls because the bell thrower threw the bell right into my face as I was Clawlining at him. Despite this expected misfortune of mine, I still believe Clawline is THE thing to fuck up flying enemies and the rapid horizontal movement is a lifesaver in any and all gauntlets especially High Halls

>>723428359
Unravelled was a cakewalk once I realized the Snare Setter is literally the most damage dealing tool of all of them. Pissed me off I couldn't use it in act 3.

>>723426634
This is my experience

>>723398731
I hated him too until I exhausted all my shards using (and failing) at Architect. I had a sudden brain blast, something somehow clicked, so I fought him with Hunter and removed all tools except
>magnetic dice
>longclaw (vesticrest)
>weavelight
>sawblade skirt
>plasmium
>cross stitch
And nothing else. Here's my observations:
You need Cross Stitch to keep up with him. You CANNOT use hunter tools on him because of how fast he is. Only raw attacking, jumps, pogos, and Clawline matters. Silk only goes to healing or Cross Stitch. You need to abuse your own mobility or he will stomp you. When he throws his shield and jumps to where it goes, you NEED to dash or Clawline there to catch him so you can hit him once maybe twice in time before he starts a new attack. Hunter pogo matters too because of the angle in relation to Seth's own mobility and attack movements. Sawblade skirt matters too because the incidental damage from you abusing your mobility will surely stack on him as the fight goes on. When he slams down and explodes on phase 1, he ALWAYS does his ground combo slashes, which you can pogo right before he detonates and right after he detonates and is slashing forward

>>723403246
I beat the game in 3h17m. There was plenty of time to get the first pale oil. The second one requires getting the double jump, but that's not necessary to beat the game. I'm kind of disappointed that you can't beat the game without the float cape. You need exactly once and I had to back track to get it in act 2.

>>723407501
Time to repost mine, updated after my last session. As always, this is NOT flamebait. It is my truly unfiltered (allegedly dogshit) opinion

This is one of the only times in the game where Hornet plays a different melody on the Sneedolin.

Her fight in the pantheon of Pharloom is gonna go crazy

as a person who doesn't really give a shit about metroidvanias something about this game hit every spot just right. It's been about 3 weeks since I beat it and I'm constantly thinking back on it. really fantastic experience honestly.

>>723432423
Did you play the first one?

>>723432645
yea i played it but I thought it was ok it didn't really grab me

I'll admit it: I'm a Reaperbab

PUSHANKHA

>>723433370
Reaper is the worst crest in the game by quite a bit.

>>723433849
It's what works for me.

>>723433989
At this point, Reaper is the only crest that you can say you beat the game with because the others are overpowered in comparison.

Its not particularly interesting. The enemies aren't smart, the player's moveset and options are lacking. Most bosses aren't very reactive at all. They have a set of 3-5 patterns they randomly pick from, memorize them and you win. No interplay.
Considering the common attitude that many players have where if you use x tool you didn't "beat the game" I would imagine that most fans probably never play fighting games and/or are terrible at them. Not that I used tools very much myself. But if you have to artificially restrict yourself from using options the game gives you to make the bosses fun, then maybe the bosses aren't as good as you think they are.

>>723397954

Yes but you are the only one she'll let get her pregnant and marry her.

Crawled my way back to where I last died. I currently have claw line, double jump, working on getting the two needle upgrades in act 2, some more masks (i'm at 7 already), gonna work on recruiting garmond for the hgih halls gauntlet. Things are lookin' up.

>>723435439
That's my child

I am the father

>>723438064
Congrats Sherma

I'm getting filtered by the bird gauntlet in Greymoor. Is this normal? What's happening? They keep throwing aimbot daggers. And when I try to hit them? Those fat bird niggas sit on me. They're so strong. I can't... I can't... I can't do it anymore... pic unrelated.

>>723439957
They're not aimbot daggers, they have two trajectories patterns based on whether he's on the ground or in the air.
You can just free Bellhart first for the free nail upgrade if you're struggling that much.

>>723439957
Ignore it. The only purpose it had was Threadstorm anyway, and it was nerfed to genuine shit.

That's actually a pretty big buff. Antimaggot is important and the only way to deal with it is at the end of act 2.

Is Pollip Flintslate any good?

>>723423663
Hornet's journey is about not becoming like her dad's side or the weaver's side. But at least PK has a fucking excuse, since it was in his nature and instinctual. Weavers were assholes for no goddamn reason. They even propped themselves up as rulers after making their creator fall asleep

>>723442735
Not really. It poisons but lowers the damage per hit

>Sherma got all the way to the songclave through sheer strength of faith

>>723426634
>I only built around one tactic the list
You may as well just make a build list and not a tier list at that point. You can use void filament/spells or mirrors/witch crest and down bosses in a fraction of the time you spend tack/flying.

What is Team Cherry's fetish with gay fucking gauntlets everywhere in this game?
I played this game to fight bosses, not waste ten fucking minutes to generic mook gauntlet #72 before I get the privilege of getting a single other attempt. It's like if you have a gourmet meal but before you can eat it you have to wait for ten minutes to watch some old dude take a diarrhea shit in front of you
Does anybody actually enjoy these?

The enemies prepare you for the boss

>>723443910
they forgot how to make a proper game

>>723426634
I thought the Conch was really good

>>723443910
It's because they were balanced around hornets tools. Personally I think tools are unfun so while I used them I also didn't care for gauntlets

>>723444231
What's this proper game to you exactly? I just wanna know your opinions on this matter

>>723439957
The trick to dodging the triple knives is to move, but not too much, if the fat fucker is on the ground do a short jump instead of a long one, you can also parry the knives the same way you can parry those blades skarr scouts throw at you. Use the spike trap from forge daughter, it's the best tool against flying enemies you can get at this stage of the game.

>>723444453
nta but silksong without a bunch of gay ass gauntlets would be nice

>>723444409
>tool casuals ruin the game again
Many such cases

>>723443910
They made tools and expected players to use them forgetting that 99% of people are autistic and will just spam melee while getting upset and confused.

>>723444081
Thanks, I agree that tack and flies are boring. Learning how to position for witch crest heals is far more engaging.

>>723444624
Both are boring.

>>723444504
so, just punching bags and bosses? got it

what a conveniently placed cocoon

>>723444758
ya just like the first game

>>723444758
The gauntlets are punching bags anon. The issue is that rather than having punching bags before getting to the fun part, you could just have the fun part

>tfw my first run was almost entirely with reaper

Witch is way worse than reaper and trying to beat lost lace with it feels genuinely impossible, she WILL move away from your heals

>>723445154
>guaranteed opening when she uses the attack where she dashes back and forth three times

All Witch requires is learning where openings are and starting your heal when you see it. With the Thread Storm nerf, it's also by far the strongest attack in the game.

>>723445285

>>723445527
Thanks. Here I am wandering around looking to decruse myself

Do you not read the crests you equip?

I still feel ballistic whenever I think about the time when I saw First Sinner using Rune Rage against me for the first time.
I thought a fight couldn't possibly get better after Widow's but that phase two sent me flying.

>>723445590
Point out where it's even remotely implied "reflected on health bar"
They look more like crystals than barbs, which given the game's inspirations, is tied to a fucking curse

>>723444812
shitty loadout no wonder you died

>>723445654
Basic critical thinking and paying attention after you equip something new oh going
>wow this only happened after I equipped an item that increases the damage I take
I think trying to double down on this only makes you look stupider, just accept it was a foolish mistake.

Still stuck on Last Judge. Have only done like 10 attempts though. Too busy working and watching NFL. I'll get that fucker eventually.

723445807
I think trying to farm (You)s over an invalid point with no observational context already proves you're stupid, so whatever you say is pretty much invalid

>>723426634
This has got to be the worst tier list ever fucking made. Refrain form making another tier list ever again.
Objectively better tier list

>>723439957
When you expect the fat bird to throw his knives just imagine three lines from his fat fuck bitch body and jump between them. It becomes a problem when the Luigi steps in but just let your instincts carry over and it will work out for you.

shit-tier list

DLCs when. There is no more games this year what do I do.

>>723446043
>Use tools
No

>>723446017
Yeah, redditors are a bunch of shitters. My tier list is perfect though. A couple of things to clarify:
Yes, the magnetic broch is S tier. You won't have any fucking money without it because it will all fall into spikes.
Magma bell is S tier because it trivializes fire bosses.
The flies are used exclusively by shitters that want the game to play itself so C tier.
No, the pick is not some super secret underrated tool, it's fucking shit. I tested it. And yes I use the claw in combat, it doesn't matter. D tier.

>>723445928
why is snitch pick always so low on every list? surely a silk and add dmg is good enough

>>723443910
>I played this game to fight bosses
Why?
No legit question, why? It's a sequel to Hollow Knight. You know it's a sequel to Hollow Knight. You know that in Hollow Knight you explore all over, fight minor enemies, fight numerous gauntlets, hell there's even an entire area dedicated to fighting gauntlets for prizes. It wasn't just bosses. The only boss rush mode was late DLC. So why would you expect Silksong to be any different?

>>723446209
No you.

>>723446319
It's pretty good with architect to spam a boss to oblivion. I like it.

>>723446361
The only fucking thing you've said that is objectively correct is the Magma Bell. That list is hardly perfect. Far from perfect in fact. Imagine thinking you won't have any money if you don't use the Magnetite Brooch. Couldn't be me.

>>723446552
NTA but what do you use your yellow slots for?

The intended pairing, no matter how much lacenet fans try to push their narrative.

>>723446397
The extra damage doesn't seem too considerable but I don't know the actual numbers, the extra rosaries are substracted from the total amount the enemy would give on death and if you're fighting something you will probably kill it anyway. Who gives a fuck about a few extra shells.

>tierlists never cover alternatives of the tools that have them
and that's why they're all shit tier tier lists
why are you not rating the different silkshots? why are you not rating the two voltvessel forms? why are you all shitters?

>>723385786 (OP)
>steel soul
im not touching that ever. i've half given up on finishing act 3, just lost all motivation

>>723446651
I've heard it's 50% and the hit counts toward stagger

>>723446552
Of course it's not perfect, because it's a subjective opinion, i'm joking. Why the fuck wouldn't you use the magnetic brooch though? do you like having to run around picking the rosaries that fell all the way down and losing 50% on spikes? It's not like there's that many things to put on a yellow slot.

>>723446651
>>723446748
The way clawline works is it hits twice for half your nail damage each, so it adds a third hit at the same damage.

>>723446748
Dunno, maybe I did treat it too harshly. I would have to test it more on my next run. It's a blue tool though, the competition is too fierce.

Why not? Gotta run around to pick up shards anyway. I played the entirety of both games without using either money-sucking item, because fuck that there's better shit I could put in, even if it's only marginally so in silksong.

>>723447061
She's naturally sexy

>>723446690
It was not an option to add and i'm not adding them. I'm not sure which silk shot is better because they all seem pretty bad but maybe the forge sister one.
The spear voltvessel is definitely better, in my opinion. I think you can do more damage with the other one but they always bounce out of the way.

>>723447085
>because fuck that there's better shit I could put in, even if it's only marginally so in silksong.
I don't know about that. I replace the compass and brooch for the dice, belt, or anklets for important fights and bosses but for general exploration I don't like losing money on spikes. Though there's a lot of areas with enemies that don't give any, so not point in having it all the time I guess.

>>723447174
Original is best imo because it's a high damage laser, exactly like the kind those big orb machines on the mountain shoot at you. So while it's relatively slow and you need to be precise with it, you get far more damage per silk compared to the other two.

>>723446043
I am. Just need to get the attack patterns figured out better.

>>723447273
Do you think Hornet would like a tarantula? They're fluffy. Maybe she would be disgusted instead.

What does the dice even do? I got it from the thief but the description isn't helpful at all.

>>723447448
the only times I can figure using the brooch is at the beginning of the game when there's nothing else available or if you're an avid user of the rosary canon.

>>723447610
Gives you a 2% chance to negate the damage from being hit, which goes up by 2% for every hit that isn't negated to a maximum of 10%.

>>723447610
The dice randomly shield you from one attack. Every time you take a hit and it doesn't activate, the chance for it to activate increases to an upper limit that I don't remember, and once it does activate that chance resets.
It synergizes with the magnetite brooch to cause it to grab rosaries quicker.

>>723442302

>>723385786 (OP)
why would anyone do a steel soul run of any metroidvania, doubly so for metroidvania with sekiro levels of damage taken and bloated runtime wise beyound belief? That's the most time wasting autistic activity you can probably engage in. What next, beating monster hunter steel soul style?

>>723448065
If people are doing it in 4 hours, it's not that bad on time. You can do that in an afternoon. It is punishing, I don't think I'll do it

>>723448157
mathematically unlikely unless you've replayed the game multiple times already. No way after beating the game just once you remember what item is where

>>723448267
Erm, a lot of people would probably look up a guide at that point

>>723448267
If all you're doing is a quick speedrun to get the basic trophy then yeah, it's really easy to remember where the important stuff is and plan your run.
But even for a 100% run, as you make your way through each area it's easy to go "okay I remember there was a breakable wall here that leads to this item" and it makes 20-25 hour 100% runs very doable. Most of the fucking around on the first run is going into it completely blind having no idea where anything is.

>>723448065
Yeah this game is a bit too long and kinda difficult at times for an ironman mode to be worth the time investment. It made more sense in the first hollow knight because it was shorter and easier.

>>723448513
bold of you to assume this game has remotely the memorability of dark souls where you do actually remember every fake wall.

PSA for keyboardfags
Use this mod. This is the only mod I use along with Always Compass. Compass theres an argument against but this has no excuse for not being in the game.

Retardedlt the Inventory key functions differently to the Crests, Tasks, Journal, and Map keys. This mod makes it work the same way. Now all we need is a mod to enable rebinding the secret keybinds of [ and ] for next/prev menu.
Controlerfags are lucky as it's just the triggers and they have no panel-specific menu keys. Just one [menus in general] button and two to cycle menus. For some reason TC felt the need to give this trait of the Inventory key to keyboard controls as well. But not to let us rebind prev/next menu. That'd be fine but for some reason "Inventory" is [Menus in general] rather than specifically the Inventory panel.
Absolutely fucking annoying.

>>723448560
The number of fake walls is overstated, and most of them led to rosaries or shards. Peoples' frustrations were with specific breakable walls and hidden passages that led to entirely new areas, but those ones are easy to remember.

>>723448065
The game is easier than the first HK on a second playthrough so it changes almost nothing. Unless you choose not to use half the crests and most of the tools in the game, you won't really ever be at risk of dying.

>>723447770
Dice are nerfed so hard in comparison. Carefree Melody is completely busted, its lowest chance is as high as Dice at its highest.

>>723447886
I think we got Hidden Dreams and Grimm within half a year so maybe well get an announcement soo when they release their first actual post release blogpost

>>723445278
Next game is like kenshi but you have bugs

>>723449042
Sure but Carefree cost three charm slots, was near the end of game and required skipping NKG.
Dice can be acquired in Act I, take up the freest slots in the game and don't require giving anything up.

>>723446412
Anon, did you actually play Hollow Knight?
Hollow Knight does have enemies. It also has gauntlets. But the number is significantly reduced and the placement is highly reasonable. The trials are optional and the bosses after are pretty easy to compensate with the fact that they came after a gauntlet. In fact, right now the only gauntlet to boss combo I can think of is the Traitor Lord, and that's a very obvious special case that you should know about if you've played the game considering what happens during it
Meanwhile, the fun standout bosses get to actually stand out and going back is straight forward. Or are you really gonna sit there and tell me that NKG was trash and what it needed to be good was three waves of primal aspids before each attempt?

>>723401695

>>723385786 (OP)
I haven't even finished my first run. Still in Act 2 and stuck at the Bilewater boss fight. The contact damage is driving me nuts to the point where I'm penalized for using the drill tool and penalized for Downward aerial attack if I'm not careful. This area is bad enough for screwing over your ability to heal if you fall into the water. And the false rest stop is just spiteful. My rest stop I'm using is the one next to the dude who is proud to be your slave and spins silkeater. It probably would be faster to get to the stop by the Mist but I can at least convince myself I'm farming partially this way.

>>723450969
there's a secret bench

>>723450969
>contact damage
The boss is extremely easy if you stay underneath him. His spit just travels over you and he does a big tell before diving down. Otherwise, he just flies around slowly meaning you can just aim directly up and get non-stop free damage.
That's also setting aside that you can throw bombs in his mouth and just accept the maggots and jump in and out of the water to more easily avoid attacks.

>>723450969
be one with hatred. be one, with maggotwater. explore moar

>>723385786 (OP)
Done. Two legit quit-outs (once in the opening on act 3, once when I got stupid with a dark heart in far fields), one semi-legit (I would probably have made it back to my bench in the Wormways, but decided not to risk it.
In penance, I beat Tormented Trobbio.

I've tried for a long time to like this game and I just can't fucking do it. I say this as I'm almost done with Act 3.
I think the obvious reason is there's a shift in philosophy between the first game and this one. The first one wasn't easy, but it generally never went too far with its punishments. No bench traps, no critical benches that are behind breakable walls, no maggot water, runbacks are rarely longer than 60 seconds, and the main feeling of exploration, battle, and reward is always there. If it ever gets frustrating, it never feels like the intention.
This game, on the other hand, will trip you, grind your skull into the dirt, spit in your face and then piss on your unconscious body before laughing at you. The game feels less like it wants you to have a fun time and more like it's constantly daring you to beat it and trying its fucking damndest to make you burn out and give up. It often does that well and pulls a lot of shit to that end. And a lot of people do like that kind of game. But it's also not the kind of game the first one is. Even though it's just as well designed as the first, in some senses even moreso.

Damn I just died to the nuke throwers in Deep Docks lmao. I stupidly decided to use my key and go in before I tackled Hunter's March to get FracMask

It's really, really not that hard at all. At most, it's just designed differently since tools require you to actively use them and consider when and which to use.

>>723453196
>tools
you didn't beat the game

>>723449535
>>723445169
Trannyslop.

>>723452269
silksong has zero runbacks over 1 minute

>>723453196
As someone who was doing a no red, blue, yellow tool / no skill blind run up until Karmelita, it really is crazy just how much easier the tools make the game
I beat the game pretty damn easily after that, but the game quicksaves after each major boss fights, so I still want to go back and do a "proper" run eventually

>>723453084
wait when is this played?

>>723453597
After First Sinner I think

>>723453571
Yeah build can do anything from making the game slightly easier to fucking brain dead
Unfortunately, that comes at the cost of people who can make a half decent build making the game easy and cheeseable as fuck. Basically the opposite problem
>>723453439
Post your Bilewater run

>>723453748
did you find the secret bench in bilewater...

>>723385786 (OP)
Are there Silk Pantsu in the game tho??

Bilewater has no runback

>>723451158
>>723451393

I guess I could go back into that area to search more thoroughly.

>>723451348
damn I wish I thought of giving up and hiding in the maggot water after being infected. That's a good idea. And I was previously using the Architect before switching back to my ol' faithful reaper. The Architect is good at poking directly overhead.

>>723453967
If you didn't die to Groal at least once then you did not beat the game.

>>723408047
She'll quite often teleport onto you if you play to chase her in situations where she's trying to get out from the corner or rare happenstance but people overplay it massively.
The real bullshit is her backflip, the move singlehandedly forces you to watch and wait and is fucking nasty in phase 3

>>723385786 (OP)
I beat it a few weeks ago. I did it legit, but it took me 8 attempts. Only need to get the 5 hour speedrun achievement then I'm done.

Just fought Karmelita again. Such a good boss. Her and First Sinner are tied for first place for me.
Lost Lace is the runner up

>>723454758
I just wish they didn't have the ant mooks in front of her
Would've made it at least 10x more enjoyable

>>723454758
I'm split on her to be desu
I like her first and second phase. Her third phase feels pretty unforgiving and like it's meant to be a tool spam window. Which, yeah - you can do that and she crumples like a fucking leaf, but it's not exactly satisfying or fun

>>723454758
Kindred post.
>>723455178
I'm fine with the mooks, it's the playing the needolin that irks me more

>>723422228
>Even I have that and I don't feel like I'm truly good at the game
It's literally the second hardest thing to do in the entire game besides all bindings at once on P5 lmfao. What are you TALKING about you aren't "Good" at the game.
There is genuinely nothing else you could do harder in the base game itself.

GIVE ME LAST JUDGE, PHANTOM, GMS, FIRST SINNER, WIDOW, FOURTH CHORUS, AND COGWORK DANCER SUPERBOSS REMATCHES

>>723456367
Lace too. She could be harder

I don't really see the point of steel soul because nobody is actually going to do that shit legit.

>>723456431
calm down satan

>>723456367
>FIRST SINNER, WIDOW
First Sinner IS the Widow rematch

>COGWORK DANCER
Already in the game, sadly

Whenever the boss rush stuff comes out everyone's gonna realize Trobbio 2 is worse than hitler.
He's gonna be the Malkuth 2 of the final pantheon I gaurentee.

>>723456446
I did it legit in the first game because I didn't know about the save and quit cheese. Now that I know it's there it's hard to ignore though

>>723456598
hollow knight is nothing compared to this madness

>>723454758
I just got Karmelita for the first time after 10 or so tries. Turns out that if you jump off the walls to the center you can safely heal at the very top of the arena and staying high, moving above her with dashes and clawline and pogoing her is the safest option. The only time when she can actually hit you is when she jumps high to do the buzzsaw, but if you keep doing the pogo you will only lose 1 mask or even none. Since she rarely hit me I was generating silk for heals faster than she could do damage and I was actually surprised when she died as fast as she did. Good fight, but very cheesable as it turns out.

>>723456575
I got Trobbio on the first and Tormented Trobbio on the second try. Turn off the annoying screen shake in the option menu and he's a cakewalk.

>>723456541
>First Sinner IS the Widow rematch
Give me a First Sinner superboss then
>Already in the game, sadly
Four or three dancer is easily possible

>>723456575
I don't think it's hard to notice Trobbio 2 putting you in undodge-able situations. Or at least, unintuitive attacks to dodge. Tornado + 6 Bombs is probably dodge-able by being in the air instead of the ground.
Overall he's fine but that attack combo reminds me of Dream Zote for some reason. And I hate Dream Zote

>entire sequel proves pale chad right
>even hornet trips into the same pitfalls as her father

KINO

>>723457082
I never finished hollow knight, explain

Anyone tested pollip pouch after the last patch? They said the blue tools now scale with tool upgrades, does that mean poison got stronger?

Does this mean the hover slash tool way better now?

Every time someone has shown of their Silksong achievements I’ve always asked them when they are planning to do steel soul legitimately
They always get assblasted and seethe but I’ve never been rebutted even once. Why does every lowlife nigger playing this game cheat? If you are going to quit out why not just use the achievement unlocker like the bitch you are? There is zero fucking difference
Not only are you pathetically trying to lie to other people despite the truth being obvious to anyone with a brain
You are also cheating yourself immensely
Does it feel good to follow a step by step guide made by someone else while you quit out 80 times with the fractured mask?

>>723456367
>give me (…) COGWORK DANCER SUPERBOSS REMATCHES
It already exists bro, it’s called Clover Dancers

>>723461920
Those faggots arent any better

>>723461860
We live in a world where people willing condemn themself to lifelong debt to afford a flashy car and a big watch for no reason other than superficially inflating their self-worth. Shit like this is just more of the same. It's all just puffed up feathers.
