i made it to this place but i fell down here, i couldn't get back up as the levers were too high to jump,i couldn't even use the elevator i got here on the right as nothing was there, did i softlock myself? i have no stag station to get back up there.
i ended up quiting my game and going to a bench that was up there.

I thought that I had screwed myself too until I used my brain for a moment. The levers shift when you step on them, but there is another way to shift them that doesn't require you to stand on them. Can you figure it out?

took about 8 tries. she was fun but openings during her second/third phase are small so it's better to play defensively than offensively which took me a bit to figure out since SS has mostly forced me to play offensively.
I did learn that throwing tools are pointless in this fight. They're only really usable in phase one and are either too dangerous in two/three or just not worth the silk loss from not using needle, so I went with the melee buff tools which were a lot better. once I figured all that out and how to deal with each attack, it only took two more tries.

you can squeeze in a throw in phase 2 before the fire blocks it, if you get poison effect on your tools it adds up very quickly since the openings to hit her with a nail are short

I didn't get the chance to do Moorwing early game since I took the fleas but why the fuck adjust Sister Splinter? She's probably the second easiest boss I've fought so far.

You have to have advanced multitasking ability (or luck).
Not that it's bad, per se, I'm just noticing differences between two games.

nope. one day hollow knight was dropped on steam with next to zero previous marketing, so "modern audiences" weren't immediately infatuated by it. probably doesn't help that silksong is miles more difficult than it.

Same, but for SisSplint, since she holds your cocoon hostage, I think that should maybe be removed (push the cocoon outside of her vines after death) or make her weak enough to where the average(?) player wont regret facing her without preparation.

The thing with Moorwing is that he gives kinda a lot of time broadcasting his attacks, at least for phase 1, and doesn't spam them quickly. I can kinda understand for phase 2 when he mixes things up and does the charge + talon toss or the tricky double talon toss though.
The bench being a little far is a bit annoying too.

I think she was one of the first bosses with adds but they're low health that go down in a few hits or can be lanced. There are a few cheap things that can lead to deaths:
She can fall on you and you receive contact damage
In the final phase she'll shoot vines through the whole area an inch apart so when you attack to break one, you'll recoil into the one behind you if you don't have that recoil reduction item equipped.

Other than that she's super easy and both issues can be solved with minor tweaks like no contact damage during her initial fall and very slightly increasing the space between vines in the final phase.

Upgraded hunters crest builds up damage on successful hits, when not taking damage back.
But what's the numbers?

Also does wanderer crest even have a dash attack?

Charged attack on a reaper crest is awful

Beast is just useless on any boss that does 2 damage

These red projectiles behave so weirdly I struggle to dodge them...

yeah, they've fucked with my brain too, that's why ignored trying to hit the boss when he's shooting and just focused on staying away at that time

I just go back and get my cocoon. I'm still early on in the game, not even act 2, but I've died 10s of times, already, but never missed my cocoon.
Maybe later bosses will make these machines worth while?
I wonder if steel-soul mode has these machines and shop choices turned-off.

wanderer's dash attack gimmick is just being able to do normal slashes while running without slowing down

it's not just for dying. you use hard currency when you're just shy of affording something important.

Ok what the fuck? I lost a fight to Lace (the first one) and now I can't dash anymore??
