closer to 3, but the screenshot don't lie
The knight doesn't die in any ending, dream no more is heavily implied but embrace the void is possible as well
Ain't true when there's like zero speed running tech and decent routes that are currently known
Sorry I'm not much of a hollow knight lore fan it just looked like he died
Even then game is difficult
I skipped double jump and rushed right to GMS, that's not a speed runner time. that's just "Don't get hit" %
Some people are just good at games, any% in ~3 hours is pretty reasonable
I haven't beaten the game yet so idk
If you don't go off the intended route you can basically do a straight line through all the bells without doubling back at all.
Considering how difficult this game I'd think it would take at least a few extra hours to speed run
This was my run "after" getting 100% on a normal file. Once you know the patterns it's just a matter of execution
I can't wait to see what true ending speedruns look like
Lifeblood Syringe causes a little bit of vertical ascent, could that have applications for skips?
people are just crazy good lmao
plus the game has been out for a few days now
give us fanatics who waited around 6 and a half years and we get to work
probably. I just pogoed off enemies where I needed extra height and didn't need to do it much on the main path
I think you could also go through the bilewater route to go straight to citadel
Only thing I went out of my way for was wanderers crest for the slightly higher movement speed and tighter controls
Lifeblood syringe + Beast Crest needle art could do some crazy stuff maybe???
who knows
Do we know if the path through the mist is the same every time or randomly generated each run through?
Random
When team cherry makes a speedrun achievement. They make it possible for the average player. you don't need to be a crazy speedrunner to achieve it, if you just go in with a single goal in mind
100% in 30 hours is kinda wild for an average player
File limited to 10 but heres a screen shot at every one of the spool locations minus the one in slab, memorium, and high halls. actually fucked.
Also, I took the mist route to get the parry, and also get into the grand bellway
How exactly do you deal with High Hall though? Genuinely curious?
I got it in 25ish hours.
Parry, I guess?
Congratulations, but you probably aren’t the average player
Is someone working on a guide
how about underworks one ?
probably not. But I'm just saying it's doable, that was on a blind run
both are in there
6th and 7th images respectively
Where are all the craft metals? I feel like I got a couple at the start, then the rest at the end with no in between. Am I just bad at finding them or something?
You hardly even entire bile water, only the very first area
theres a site with all of them just google silksong interative map smth like that
Does anyone else think ||it's the actual white lady talking to Hornet in Red Memory? They were talking like it's way past the fall of Hallownest, that Hornet has matured and wised up from being hallownest's sentinel.||
don’t use beast
Probably, She's a higher being after all, Not Wyrmblooded but still on par with the other gods of Hallownest like Unn and such
Is there any special meaning to the ||bellways (and bellhart)? Like, who created the bells and stuff?||
Pharloom has metallurgy other kingdoms can't even fathom, Bells are easy to make and a show of talent with metalworking. Honestly it's probably just become an icon through usefulness
where does one find the actual save file
That’s actually really interesting
And you can sort of see the shift from the floating memory text to when Hornet locks in and they talk normally
I didn’t even think about that
I don’t know if this is just a fundamental sadness at the death of her kids but in the memory she talks about void like it’s still an enemy
Surely she sensed Rad dying
She likes Hornet more than the vessels
bc she dont have that void inside at all
How do you get curveclaw in act 3
welp, guess i'm doing my 100% game completion in steelsoul!
How many endings are there
I’m trying to fit my 100% completion speed run in steel soul and it’s not fun
3, kinda 4 depending on what you consider an ending
mr mushroom is his own ending
MYSHROOM GUY IS BACK IN SULKSONG???
4-5 then, I forgot him
Yknow thinking about it, ||First Sinner|| and ||Grand Mother Silk|| have remarkably similar fights, I wonder if there's some sort of lore implication there
Is that just how all ||Weaver or Weaver adjacent|| things fight?
Thinking about piecing together the story now and I'm asking, was it basically ||that Pharloom/the Citadel got so obsessed with eternity that they captured Weavers for their silk to extend their lives??||
I always thought that ||the Weavers came from Grand Mother Silk's dream like how the Mosskin were for Unn||
So Hallownest’s mask maker was that goated that even unmasked they weren’t that lucid
||i think they captured weavers because GMS wants an heir. So much she made a fake one with Lace. I think the eternity thing is a side story. Lace, Widow, and the other spiderr-likes are all failures created by GMS||
yall, what did ||widow|| say before you fought ||her||?
i remember hearing something about you ||returning to your old home||, maybe im tripping
sorry, just added spoiler
I never quite understood why the|| citadel is decrepit, ||was there a specific cause?
||Then did she specifically want Hornet to take over since she was half-Weaver?||
||i dont know about specifically hornet. Theres a room to the left of the Cradle area that shows that they tried to capture a bunch of part weavers from different areas. This is my interpretation so far btw, I'm only in act 2 still, but I beat GMS||
from what im hearing she wanted hornet because ||she can weave soul into her silk since shes half wrym half weaver and it was suppoused to be used to "finish" lace||
Also why is it that in Act 3 ||Pharloom feels like it underwent a whole ass one year time skip imo? Like we have the Wormways completely turned into lifeblood, and the professor's like almost dead from the lifeblood, I feel like that would take a while to kick in.||
|| its stated by widow that "mother wants your silk shell and claws"||
I guess that makes sense, what I'm also wondering is just.... why???? ||Does GMS need an heir or smth??? Why'd she create Lace and also maybe Phantom??||
||They seem to have some kind of natural maternal instincts, as she was also said to call the Weavers their children.||
||see i havent played the game or really got to witness any lore yet because its a new game theres no videos out yet about it but from what was said in here i assume she was trying to make lace a heir she clearly loved lace thats why she freaks out in the ending lace gets sucked into the void||
||so why can't she create new weavers? Was she not their god?||
||Or does it not work like the radiance and the moths, or did I not understand that either||
||Yeah, their entire struggle against the Void, even as it stretched their soul thin for upkeeping that barrier was for Lace's sake, not her own.||
||yeah but its specfically stated she made lace out of silk and thats why she wants hornet for her silk||
||i think she tries to, but fails.
I think its not consistent. She got lucky with the weavers and won the lottery. Now shes trying again but not successful.||
||from what i can gather yes and no she took regular spiders and wrapping them in her silk is what makes them the weavers or atleast thats how she made the orginals||
That does make an amount of sense considering the ending. ||I also thought it was that the citadel used silk BEFORE GMS swooped in, considering there are multiple areas and leaders like Nyleth and the Green Prince and the Crust King and Karmelita. I thought that GMS didn't like how maybe the Citadel tried to experiment/take the Weavers' powers to feed their immortality or smth||
And why did ||the weavers leave the citadel/pharloom again?|| The ||nests had some lore about why but I never quite understood||
||Yes, because the Weavers left or died or were imprisoned. Lace and Phantom seem to be her attempts to fill that void, and finding Weavers or their descendants is also part of that.||
||i think the weavers tried to make their own god. Eva, and thus became heretics.||
||as far as i know thw only thing we know is the haunting was started with GMS wether it was she was the first afflicted or created it we dont know its just how it started with her and she was using silk to brainwash and control people specfically its said she surgically modified widow to prevent her from being able to use her own silk ||
Ah, right, this makes sense to me
||Breaking from servitude under Silk, primarily.||
the ||haunting||
There's a big theme on freedom with both the Weavers and Hornet herself, breaking cycles, all that.
crazy
welll... just finished act three
||it still seems DNM is the true ending, least it always will be in my heart... that and daughter of 3 queens is somewhat cannon...||
|| and this is why we all have been saying godhome dream no more or pale flower have to be the cannon ending||
||Not particularly, Dream No More is still very possible||
thats one of the 3 i listed
||The shades arent shown as unified as the shade lords, minus a split second||
||i cant remeber what ending but with the void heart you become the lord of the shades and in my opinion that ending seems to be what they are hinting at with the hollowknight showing up as a shade and its confirmed thats the same vessel we play as in og game in the screenshot||
|| but there is also a ending where hornet uses the pale flower||
GUYS GUYS
in the great Conchfly bestiary entry, Hornet says that she's outlived her mates.... dos that mean she's... a Widow?
yes someone came in here earlier and was like so shes bisexual and we all were like no shes a widow then shes out lived everyone shes loved
okay but the joke of her being a Widow, as in the spider, is hilarious to me
i thought it was pretty funny as well but yeah someone thought it was them claiming she was bisexual and we were all like ummmm no
i have a question would hornet be a centipede if her dad is a worm and her mom is a spider slither thing plus legs = centepiede
where would you even get that information that she's bisexual
they used that exact desc you just put in here for the conch fly
i was like is she bisexual or just a widow
dayum this guy did not make it
eat him
its a bug eat bug world out here
Survival of the fittest
true true 
what part of that implies she's had relations with bugs of more than one gender, it just says mates, it could be literally anything so there's nothing to extrapolate from really
okay who ever reacted to my comment that emoji is TERRIFYING wtf
and that was our points we were like it legit is telling you shes a widow not bisexual and we were confused how he got that from the entry
reading comprehension out the window i guess
but it was a little funny to me straight posted a photo of the entry and was like so shes bi and we were all like yeah no
Cradle Secret behind wall
Hallownest might be dealing with or has had to deal with another infestation unless Im reading this wrong
prolly a cordyceps situation
is the delicate flower from hk the same in silksong?
why are bells so significant?
yes
atleast the designs look identical
I mean its clear that lifeblood has a similar process as the infestation did its even more surprising its gotten this far out of hallownest
|| and considering how the void reacted to the flower at the end just like it did in the orginal game is another reason i believe they are one in the same||
so like
yeah but we get the flower in a memory tho
life blood is said to be natural tho
half memory its hard to decide but alot of us think its more than just a memory the way the pale lady speaks
I always figured it was related to a higher being because of its presense in godhome and the abyss
but in one of the endings its used hornet witness it and she mentions in game || watching a god be felled||
when? i rlly do not remember when she says that
didnt the alchemist import it from another land
Is it ethical to be simping for ||First sinner||, ||Last judge|| and ||Great mother Silk||?
No widow?
no cog dancers ?
When once makes it sounds like it was far in the past and delt with
im trying to find a vid or screenshot now but yeah its been discussed multiple times in here today
maybe that also is what is tied into joni
I interpreted the lifeblood as something that naturally ocurrs when there is extreme decay on populated Areas, there was alot of it in Hallownest because the whole kingdom was practically in shambles and dead, while Pharloom, is still very much alive and full of life and non crazed bugs, meaning it could only spawn on the outer parts of pharloom, in an area that is likely a dump for whatever the worms got to eat, geologically, the lifeblood is also underneath the Sands of Karath, a dead Tribe.
The ||Cogwork dancers ||and ||Green Prince ||questline is literally everything to me. I need a godhome style boss expansion with the doomed lovers
we are still tryna piece it together bit by bit lol
Are ss and hk lore interconnected
Yes
yes
would bilewater count as a viable place for it to spawn?
No but what's with the random || voices I get when I claimed that skill||
Am i supposed to find out later in the game or did I miss something
what skill you asked me to help you with lore
Not really, it's not a dead zone, it is very full of life actually, the local residents and the worms seem to be triving, it just happens to be a pretty big swamp
That skill which unseals the beast
one that wants to kill me 💔
would mount fay also be a kinda viable place for lifeblood to hang about
Not really, since its a mountain, but its not a dead zone
I gotta clarify, What i mean with Dead zones is places where there was at one point, lots of bugs or traces of civilization, just for these zones to become giant graveyards of rotting things
wait so people still cant figure out how to trigger every ending
No we know how
how many ending are there
yea but lifeblood doesnt always flourish in those particular areas specifically
have we ever heard the name "everbloom" in hk?
there is 5 endings and only 4 triggers have been found so far
you can find multiple in pretty well populated areas like the mantis village
Its just a pain in the ass to figure out exact conditions for what the trigger for a specific one is.
ut this is base game not silksong
We have held one, but it was only referred to as the delicate flower
on youtube you can find all the endings and theres a ending even on reddit they are saying they saw it on youtube but no one can trigger it
It’s also in godhome which definitely counts as a populated area
This is a tricky one because exept the Mantis village and the colliseum, the rest of Hallonwest is fucking dead
Datamining
yeah i really wanted to know if delicate flower is actually the same as everbloom
It is 100%
its also in a dream so
Yeah
its confirmed on reddit i guess the delicate flower and the flower in silk song are indeed the same flower
Grey mourner 100% from Pharloom
Lifeblood just has a weird need for a host but crawls into weird locations
Like it wants to draw people in to infest them but it chooses some odd locations
why would you say that?
maybe they just drop the dead in those places including lifeblood infected ones so it pops up in the graveyards
No lmfao, there is not a single Roach or a person with a werid speech in the entirety of pharloom, im sorry, but you gotta let it go, the accident was not your fault
She has the flower, and is literally Grey “moor”ner
i feel like ther has to be canabilism going on we never actually see any food we see tables but in rl bugs eat bugs all the time so i feel like lots of missing bugs happened alot
like some id discovery type stuff
maybe not from pharloom but prolly took a visit there at some point
yeah but that may be a coincidence
we dont exactly know how far each of the civilizations are
we cant be 100% sure that shes from pharloom
Didn’t you take the everbloom from a memory
all we know is she was a great warrior for the pale king and white lady
yeah but alot of us disscussed this we arent sure if that was 100% memories with some of the things said to hornet by the whitelady
Anyone else think the Craws aren't just actual crow bugs but regular beetles and whatnot that have gone mad and decided to dress up + act like crows? xD
I mean I think we DO see what an actual ||bird|| is like lol
I think white lady directly spoke to hornet via her cool higher being powers
same some thing were way to specific for the white lady to know espically if shes been bound by her roots for years
Im only saying that because it would indicate that the flower isn’t native
If you pulled it out of a memory
think of it as a god flower
we have only ever seen it used against the void
Not my point
I mean yeah! Plus I do find it adds to their ||cult vibe||
kinda is if you pay attention its not native anywhere in the world yet somehow magically appears everytime its needed to be used against another higher being (yes the lord of shades is considered a higher being) so my thought is someone else is bringing it in an handing them outcause the flower is also tied to the god seekers
the shade lord is a lower being cuz its lower to the earth /j
on the wiki its listed as a higher being along side the pale king white lady and radience and in this univers a higher being is a "god like being"
yea i just like calling it a lower being cuz its from the abyss
which is pretty low to the world
IS THE BILEWATER BOSS ANOTHER SOUL MASTER?
from the first game??
he has soul powers and they allude to it in songclave
His journal entry referenced soul master
Yeah but I read it as narrative coincidence than like magically appearing when the void is around
wait yooooo
i mean it is the only time we ever see that flowe come into play is when the void is around
Does the needolin let you listen to the dead?
Also, can we agree that the pale king is actually goated and we need to apologize. Grand mother silk strings people up, Radiance infects people, apparently lifeblood eats your soul, the nightmare heart enslaves, and the pale king just be granting the gift of thought like jeez, no cost to great, cause otherwise these bugs are gonna suffer forever.
basically dream nail for silksong
So talking to ghosts
he also doesnt have anti homeless architecture
Real, so real
Dang I was hoping the bug down the hole was still alive
He loved his kingdom
Though that might be darker
also the canon ending is the one that you give the delicate flower to the godseeker right?
because if its the same flower its gotta be that one
Anyone ever seen the area ||Nameless Town||?
yeah
huh
So Silksong is after God master embrace the void ending
Could be, but you also see the void seep into the ground in dream no more so it could be thought that the night returned to the void in that ending which would still line up with silksong
I do think its dream no more
The design is the one the knight uses in that one
Also yall reckon we might get a prime citadel in the dlc
With all of the memory stuff going on I feel like we could get into it via the broken down Sentinels where you fight the last one
Pretty sure on the surface the figure the needolin shows is a godseeker
I hope we get another godmaster
or maybe not these bosses are something else
huh we what
you can go there by soaring to the top of grandmother silk's chamber and going through hellish jumping puzzles for what amounts to ||dreamnail dialogue and a little sprite||
Path of Pain classic
any talk about the fact that the snail shamans are ||freaking murderers?
like in the secret room in their place we see a text about sacrificing pilgrims alive Oo||
That'd be cool, I hope we get more Veridian stuff, i wanted to see more. And I maybe some weaver stuff to help clarify everything that happened
I still a bit lost on what all happened between the weavers and gms
We fight the second sentinel but who was the first?
huh
like on the nameless town?
Considering what else we see them do, it shouldn't be too surprising. They're helpful, but generally a danger to everyone around.
little crack theory here
Silk wanted daughters, so she created the weavers, but that wasnt good enough, so she created Phantom and Lace, but still not satisfied, she commanded her followers to go and capture Weaver descendants in the hope of finding a strong/suitable daughter/heir which Hornet would be the perfect candidate
Now what i still dont really understand is:
Why is silk trapped in her cocoon
Why did she start cursing Pharloom
Why did some weavers betray her
could this cut content be one of the ||snail shamans||?
could be, but snails shamans have white eyes
yes but surely reworked
so is the barnacle area cut or i just didn't find it yet
It’s gone, but he remains.
Yeah I'm lost because she supposedly saves lace and refuses to die to save her, but that feals contradictory to the haunting. And why did the weavers want to leave was it just for freedom and then gms got mad and punished them?
Sub area does exist though in the sands of Karak
I don't mean the coral area, I mean the barnacle one
I think it looks more like the witch, could be cut or maybe even a tease for something in the future
I understand.
It’s barnacle and lightning themed
I guess it's a case of "I never realised you were my real daughter all along"
basically Silk thought she yearned for a better daughter, but upon almost losing lace to the void, she realizes that she truly loves her
Not sure for why the weavers left tho, still blurry to me too
Yeah but the area in this screenshot must be in the game
It is in the game. Sands of Karak, not the coral tower one
Really???? I haven't seen it then
Yeah it's a secret area above the bridge you break
The lightning one that is
The barnacle area doesn't seem to be in the game, but it seems like there's too many assets for them to just cut it all out, but who knows
I still think it's a future dlc
It's weirdly hidden, in the room a little bit before the boss on the Sands, on the ceiling
Im stil waiting for all of the steel soul mode content to be cataloged
Cataloged?
Like actually known and out there
I mean, I'm working on a route right now
Im talking about the exclusives like the steel assasins and stuff
WHAAAAAT
IT'S THERE???
Oh, hmm, I only know of a few dialogues that changed for now
Help what is that voice I'm hearing
I don't think that's in the game either, I got all the bestiary and I didn't see it anywhere
There's a trailer with an enemy in it that looks like them
btw you can make the little judge hatchlings sing if you keep playing needolin after they disappear
It’s kind of crazy that when you look at the hunters journal for hornets notes she repeatedly makes mention about wanting to pet creatures with soft fur.
Question: Is grandma silk a pale being?
Unclear, but she is called pale at one point.
Yeah lmao hornet loves soft things is canon
nah just a higher being
She just like me fr
Headcanon that hornet would snuggle with one of those bell bugs if they weren’t aggressive.
pale being is only used for the two creatures in hallownest
Headcanon? Thats the official lore
that's in journal
But like would she snuggle or would she just pet
Give hornet a floof team cherry
Im refunding the game if hornet doesnt get a godamn floof
No look at the journal entries for the big one and the crusted one
um so... you can get regenerating health with lifeblood
like, full on, better version of the hiveblood charm
If I remember right the crusted one said something about how tragic it was she couldnt hug them cause of the shell
Can you refund a gamw after 38 hours
Email tc, they’ll refund you fs
Found a secret weaver relic by revisiting the conductor in ||Act 3||
if you gather 9 lifeblood masks (this is in act three with wormways turning lifebloody + the phial), it turns your health into lifeblood. your hearts regen over time but but you cant heal with silk
Oh so that’s what she meant when she talked about not being able to take too much life blood.
Thsts pretty cool tbh
Cause I saw the journal entry for the lifeblood bugs
i saw that and was curious what would happen if you got the max
10 is the most you can get, the more you get, the more the lifeblood hearts start shaking
Lifeblood’s kind of scary
Its weird hoe much more aggresive lifeblood got in silksong
Seeing how it was barely present in act 1
2 plasmium cacoons + phial
I mean in hk it couldnt exactly use the knight as a host lmao they werent alive
Really makes you understand WHY it was so frowned upon in hk
Something i noticed in a task description. Sry its not relevant
Yeah but even then the lifeblood infected characters seemed more peaceful in hollow knight
Well that lifeblood were only little pockets after being ruthlessly hunted out.
Which characters are lifeblood infected?
But this is a new infection taking hold.
The charm one
Ah right joni
Do we know the full story of Joni?
Also the fact that lifeblood mutates bugs in silksong when it was just spreading in hollow knight
It did mutate joni
Joni’s blessing does mutate the knight by making all your masks lifeblood
But it does seem like the alchemist brought a more virulent strain of lifeblood
A certain alchemist was dumb enough to inject EVERYTHING he found with lifeblood so yeah lmao
Yeah but it wasnt as agressive as it didnt infect anything else. If this is by choice or by force i do not know.
Right it was all directly planted
We could even assume most of the sources of lifeblood were eradicated by the pale king
Thats pretty heavily implied yeah
The lifeblood was also being specfically cultivated
Like imagine giving a infection fertilizer
Its weird that lifeblood also weirdly does like void
I do think it eeally might have some ties to void though
Well there was the lifeblood room in the abyss
Found in the abyss and it seems to grow stronger in act 3
But I feel they are different but have similarity’s
- the lifeblood grew like crazy once the void took over in act3
It could also be that the void doesn’t actively fight against lifeblood
Unlike pale beings control who do not like it.
They arent the same by any means, just thinking lifebloods growth may be fueled/accelerated by void
Id be down for a lifeblood expansion honestly
guys is there an upgrade to every crest? I just upgraded hunter's ||for the second time|| and it's straight so much better than the others
No, unfortunately
Idk about it being better
I wish wanderers got upgraded
It’s just given something unique
Every crest except wanderer has unique gimmicks about them
Wanderer does too
Crit chance
I never used beast or witch
Crit hwat
You get critical hits with wanderers no?
btw this shit strong
Heal on both is far too gimmicky to ever feel safe
Idk about beast
Hell I got lost lace to phase 2 in only about 5 swings cause I crit twice
But witch is actually pretty good
Shaman is probably the worst heal in the game though
Shaman forcing you on the ground
Its a solid second longer than all the otherd
And taking longer even with the speed heal tool
And you don’t even get a single red tool slot
Doesnt it give perma grubberflys tho
So no lifeblood
True but it also swing slower. I think
Idk I never used it
Ive still only ever used respers for a boss
My freaking save file is broke
Reapers is by far the most useful
And while the range is good, reaper with long claw has some WILD range
And you’ve done everything
Nope, spool didnt count
Yep
Wdym spool didn’t count?
Missing one half of a spool, but every spool location WITH proof is done and no spool there
You buy em all
Literally have a ss of me at every spot on the map
Of course, all my stores are out of stocj
My current guess is it was the flea one
High halls one? I never saw that one on a map when I was looking
The one behind like the wall
Or the one you get from climbing up
If you scroll up about 5 hours you can find the ss of me at every spool spot
In hh its only the on from climbing all the way up
I’m missing a single spool too
But I’m not done with everything else
I think the second flea travel they give you a spool)
I got to 99% blind, literally missing one half of a spool, after 5 hours of searching I gave up and googled it only to find out I shouldve had 100%
Yeah I think I moved the fleas to the lake before I got 14 fleas or smth which mightve broken it
The fleas shouldn’t do the final move though until you get the grand gate movement
Cause I simply do not remember receiving one from them
Yeah thats what i’m talking about
is there a mask shard finder/tracker in-game?
Nope. You just gotta go break every wall
here we go
There is hints though, like defeating optional bosses and talking to them afterwards they often mention places
I have 2 mask shards and 1 spool unaccounted for
Thats where I was sitting at 98%
im missing like 2 more
Then got the last 2 mask shards and found out I was cooked from the start
Nah all spools are available from act 2
Hrrmmmm I will need to go spool searching I guess
Thankfully someone posted a full map
Of the game
I can tell you the exact location of every spool unfortunately 😭
Ooo that would be nice
Aside from ||Huntress|| do we have any quests that if left behind when moving to Act3 have an affect on the npc? Be it dialogue, lore or anything
||Those 2 bug bros in sinners die apparently||
||You can no longer challenge shakra to a duel||
Oh...what happen to those stuck with the curse thn?
They are fucked until people discover how to get spines in act 3
One in moss grotto near the transition to the marrow, you go in from the room above and to the right of bone bottom, on in weavenest atla, left side after the warp, 2 in deep docks, one in a bottom left room one in bottom right room, one in slab 3 rooms above and one to the left from the stag station, 2 in underworks, one in a room down and to the left from the terminal thing, one down a hole on the right side of the underworks, 1 in whitehall under the elevator, one in high halls at the tippy top, one in memorium on the left side, andddddd one in grand gate in the top of the room
You could do what???
WTF is this ||lifeblood boss||??????
There must be a way to get the extractor after finishing the quest right?
How the fuck do you kill the bitch then
Oh cool, I did the ||master funeral||, how can I duel her now?
what are our thoughts on the cursed ending?
Lmao smack his ass for like 5 minutes, worked for me
I think you need to deal fast damage. The amount of tears he throws gets incresingly higher if you keep hitting it. However avoiding him lowers it.
She should be near like leaving bell town to greymoor or in first room of greymoor leaving bell town you should see a ring you can hit or smth.
I just killed him with the extractor
If you corner him on left side of the room his projectiles hit the cieling before they hit you
Use wanderers, unironically the quick hits kb him and basically stunlock him
confirmed
just got him
you need to deal damage fast, he is like perma healing
I killed him in less than 20 secs
By spamming attack
Oh yeah, it's a gimmick for all ||lifeblood|| enemies. They are constantly healing, as shown with a ||blue|| effect on them.
I was so confused when people were talking about an immortal guy when I got here cause I killed him with like 0 trouble when I did it
It just took a min
The lower he is the more projectiles he'll throw
Im gonna be honest idk how to feel about the fact basically every boss does 2 masks of damage.
Thanks!
I think the game is balanced around that, maybe it could be toned down only in Act 1
Also the fact I was stuck on 6 masks for like 8 hours of my playthrough
Idk, I got one in act one, two in act two, and one in act three, seems pretty balanced
Masks that is
I genuinely think they designed this game to progress as if the citadel was the city of tears progression wise, and by the scope of the game, that’s about right.
I believe there's a pretty hidden one in the Whiteward
Which people don't get and would get them the 7th mask early on
Whiteward isn’t that early, when most of the complaints are “six mask don’t do anything against double damage enemies!”
Which show up fully from the second boss in the game onwards
are silkeaters limited?
There's a way to get more
Renewable.
Nah go to the ||Royal waterways|| and a vendor will sell more.
the Royal waterways 😭❓
It's actually Sinner's Road
hey how do you get the white hall spool
oh I get it now.
yep I see what you mean there.
I have 4 and I lowk might use one because I lost 500 rosaries 🥀
I recommend that this depends on whether you are intending to go back to your coocon or not
Like if you still need to get there, why use it
If you plan on heading somewhere else, use it
Yea its definitely a qol thing
I do like its animation is slightly different if the ||coccoon is from a cursed death||
YEAAAH I FOUND THAT YESTERDAY
I like the little menu animations
Makes the items feel more intersting
I'm surprised it still works in that condition
Damn literally every npc can sing if you play music
And they're songs are different
has anyone found the huntress in act3 after we've completed her quest?
i hope the meat we gave her wasnt for nothing
Yeah, you use silk and they sing a song
Not me personally no
Elevator needs to be up top while you’re at the bottom
Sorry im going to bed, gl
Ooo yikes lowkey spoiled myself 🥀
I just beat grandmama and got the weaver queen ending, where do I go from here. Should I just do sidequests and explore till act 3?
that’s my own fault ✌️
ive fully beaten the game 100% can i ask some questions to a resident lorehead here
Would you happen to know what I should do after killing grandmother
im not sure why youre asking this in the lore channel but i do, ill just DM you
Thanks twin
junior lorehead but please go on 🔥
just want to make sure you've fully beaten the game too right
Self-proclaimed lorehead go on
99% because my save file is broken, but yep
Have all but 4 journal entries too
Summary of the game's narrative as you understand it first
Starting from before the beginning, dozens or potentially hundreds of haunted pilgrims set out to capture hornet, and bring her to pharloom, the reason for which is not explicitly stated as far as i’ve found or heard so far, which the seal on hornets cage breaks, she escapes, and here there is a bit of divergence depending on if you want the TE route or standard ending route
what is the point of this room? am i missing smth or is it just lore that i dont fully understand? if its lore im guessing its to do with ||the dreamers from kollowknight||, but idk
Needolin
yea i did, it just gave a few words which i mentioned what i think they mean but idk
Pretty much it for that room as dar as I could tell
Anyways back to paragraphs
isnt it bc ||mother silk ||wants to harness hornets power and also remove the entire weaver species?
For the TE route, hornet ventures throughout pharloom, helping all the bugs she comes across and forging friendships and helping pharloom begin recovery from the haunting, culminating into her fighting lace, at which point hornet realizes that she does not want to follow the path of the ruler of pharloom but rather as a savior, and so she goes to the snail shamans, who help her set a trap with the souls they have gathered, and then in the GMS fight, right as hornet sets off the trap, and the void moves to consume GMS, lace knocks hornet out of gms’s grasp and takes her place, causing the trap to go wrong due to gms refusing to die on account of her daughter being consumed by the void if she gives up on life, and I will continue in just a moment
GMS is never stated to be the one who brought hornet to pharloom, as well as her journal entry suggesting that she’s been “lulled asleep”, so its likely that she’s simply been asleep for a long time and pharloom has beeb degrading due to her sleep causing the haunting
My personal headcanon is that hornet was retrieved to build more architects, as dialogue with the architect heavily implies that only weavers had the ability to create the architects, and without the architects pharloom will grind to a halt, though thats just my speculation
but them writing that shes the last of her kind also implies they hunted the rest?
I did witch in act 3 and the spines were in their house after they died
which is also all those things in the slab right?
Bit of an old convo, but forgor to respond to this
huh
The dice bros in sinners?
the dice bros? aren't they the gut fellows
Wait, am I getting them mixed up
there is a single pair of npcs in sinners
its the people that give the guts quest and tacks
For the witch crest quest line, you need the spines to cure yourself yeah?
yes
And you go to sinners to buy it, but if you do it in act 3, they're gone and you just get the spines in the house
from what i understand purely from what ive found and nobody elses opinions, those "prisons" in the slab are all the weavers, maybe from different lands, being the "first of the first, fourth of the twelfth" kinda thing. and theyve all been hunted, and up until now hornet has been the last weaver
well i had a friend who didn't even do their initial quest and only found tacks on their dead bodies
or at least that's what he said
Man i’m never finishing writing out the full narrative am I
yo bro lock in ma
What was the original prize for fulfilling their wish again?
i havent even begun discussing anything with u cuz u dont finish 😭
The roach meat one right?
People keep talking to me 😭
ignore them
Hang on lemme boot my pc so I can use my kb itll go faster
bet
Guys I think I figured it out || the silk makes the song ||
tacks
also the cutest thing in the game is the bell beast change my mind
Yeah so no loss letting them just kick it :^)
yea but apparently he couldn't get spines then
is it not a reopening game thing to spawn them?
i have no idea
i also wonder that like the pin throwing minigame, since its destroyed in act 3 can you just get the tool pouch upgrade for free?
That one I do not know. I bet it's in their room at the top of the destroyed game den?
is there a lore reason why pharloom's disgusting areas are so much more icky than hallownest
probably
bug waste got to go somewhere
Isn't everything in Hallownest just dead basically?
also hallownest has been degrading for a LOT longer then pharloom
I mean in Pharloom we dont have Fluke Marm
guys i realised something:
first sinner
second sentinel
fourth chorus
last judge
Is there a "3rd" something?
I think these are all different groups. Like we see the 1st to 3rd Chorus their in the Automaton Workshop
Why was the fourth chorus in the far fields though?
I got to say though getting the base speedrun achievement doesn’t seem that hard
We also see the other sentinels, their by the second sentinel boss fight. And I think Last Judge is both a reference to the fact their the last robot like them, but also that they are the last challenge before you enter the citadel gates for pilgrims
interesting. very interesting. i wonder who is half-wyrm in this game. very interesting. (first image isnt spoiled cause its from hollow knight)
Also wtf is the mist in lore
Citadel really likes abusing pilgrims, made a giant robot just to make quick first glance judgements of them and beat them into paste if they didnt pass
Hornet is half Wyrm
yeah thats what i was saying .. it was a rhetorical question
steel enemies are cut content huh
I thought they were steel soul exclusives?
I realized that Team Cherry might have done a retcon, or the situation is weird. The White Lady in the original game is terrified of the delicate flowers power and doesnt even want to touch one. While in Silksong they give you one.
i mean idk why people keep saying that when there hasnt been a single screenshot video or account of that being the case
i think they're straight up gone, at least for now
It seems they sadly cut alot of the coral place, and also the steel enemies like Steel Assasin Sharpe
We also never got our Lion Village
Damn if only we had 3 more years of dev time
Sounds like DLC to me
....what?
We could have had full areas based around the dreams.
If you give team cherry a character DLC to make, the same thing will happen again
Which is a good thing but very long wait
Lace next MC confirmed?
not too sure about that one
so hornet dives to the abyss, using an old diving bell that breaks partially on the way down, has a conversation with lace's spirit, in which hornet decides that she will not stand by and try to hold pharloom in stasis as she allowed to happen in hallownest, and then hornet escapes the abyss , talks with the snail shamans about her plan to retrieve lace from the void's grasp, which will require using the original everbloom flower, as the passage of time has resulted ini the flowers power being dimished, in order to do so she needs a lot of memory power? (I don't remember the actual name for it its late and i'm tired), which she cannot provide herself due to her needing her mental strength to fight in the void. So she gets information from the snail shamans on locations of some of the ounding beings of pharloom, who's memory is incredibly powerful, and goes and seeks their hearts to fuel the ritual needed to retrieve the everbloom from her memory. in doing so, its revealed that this process will likely cause pharloom to degrade somewhat, as these beings (not to be confused with higher beings, of which it is unclearwhether they are or not) are integral to pharlooms prosperity. After retrieving the hearts, Hornet goes through her memories of life, beginning in deepnest with herrah the beast, then moving on to training the needle under hive queen vespa, and finally into her stepping into her role as a child of the pale beings for a time, and talking to the White lady, who is the one who gives hornet the everbloom. (it has been pointed out to me that it is potentially not a memory at this point but hornet speaking to the actual white lady, as the style of dialogue changes). hornet wakes up, the shamans are dead from the procedure
I see
whats up with the snail shamans? why do they die after we go in our memories
Too much power probably
she goes back to the abyss with the now funcitonal diving bell, dives beneath the void, cuts the void from laces body, and this allows Grand mother Silk to finally let go of her attachment to life, using the last of her strength to propel Hornet and Lace out of the void, which almost works, they get near the surface, but hornet passes otu from exaustion, being saved by the knight in the from of either the shade lord or the void given focus form, not entirely clear, and then the game ends, hornet and lace survive, and pharloom's collapse is stopped.
theres potential for me to have missed some things there, asa its now 4am for me and i'm pretty damn tired, but thats a basic plot synopsis of the TE route
But like I’m kind of sad we didn’t get any collo of fools challenges in this game
I do agree that all the hearts dont seem like higher beings. But Nyleth being a heart is very weird, because they are seemingly the original source of all plant life in Pharloom. Its weird that they arent as big of a deal when you fight them to that of Radiance or NKG even though their lesser powered than both
anything else you wanted @jolly rock
bro mightve gone to sleep
ah whatever I need to sleep as well
If we dont count Nyleth as a Higher Being, then Pharloom has two Higher Beings in it. Grand Mother Silk, and Grey Root.
I mean I dont think you understood what I asked very well
I may have failed to make myself understood well
Feels like they could have done so much more with the coral area place has like only a few items
I played teh game, I know that this all happens, I just thought you'd explain the mysteries
ah you'd have to be more specific on which ones you want to know about
it sucks, but lore-wise it makes sense
Very sad they cut most of the coral place, and just made it the tower
HORNET IS FROM THE HIVE? or her nail was
Let's start with the intention of GMS
Yea but your rewards for the zone is a SINGLE TOOL. And crusted nut
yes
there are two tools in sands
Oh yea ok sorry
i mean thecolosseum
I still need to grab that one
its very easy to miss
Whats interesting is in Hollow Knight we dont know how long the parts of the kingdom held out, all we know is the Mantis's are the only ones still fully around and sane, and some of Deepnest. This gives us an idea that the Bees where probably the last to fall
The Bees locked themselves in, they probably interacted with Hornet whos name is Hornet, because everyone else was dead for the most part
You think they will do a similar DLC content with silksong like they did HK?
im sure team cherry is already planning to release dlc soon (8 years)
They said DLC is coming but no idea what
how long was it until lifeblood dlc came out from launch?
I want them to explain how an entire ocean dries up in a natural mortal life time
think we might see the Grimm troupe again?
grimm troupe was also what, a year after release?
mostly speculation on my part for GMS's role, my personal thoughts are that she's not really in control, it's likely the last true thing she did while fully aware was the creation of Lace, as the journal entry suggests, she's trying to awaken, and the haunting is a result of her slumber, so her intentions in bringing hornet to pharloom probably lie somewhere between a tool to be used to restore her kingdom or a vessel used to reawaken
Some how the Sands of Karak dried up along with all the coral stuff, and we dont know how.
sorry thats not formatted very well
I feel like the GMS journal entry will make sense once we understand the Weavers relation to her, and what happened between them
She seems to have an obsession with "children", as the first sinner says she called them Her children until she abandons them, likely after the creation of lace/other silk based beings
Do we know anything about Grey Roots orgin
unfortunately i'm not familiar with Grey Roots, I meant to do that today but got busy trying to figure out what was wrong with my seve file
The problem with this is that Lace was created to be what Hornet is but she couldn't live up to the task so she resents her mother as a result (and hornet)
what exactly do you mean by what hornet is?
I have no clue, thats why Im asking waht her intention is
There seems to be some great conspiracy between the Weavers to create hornet
i'm not really sure thats true though, In the flashback (at least what I got from it), the weavers weren't really approving of hornet, aside from herrah.
they were trying to prepare her for her role
They were all huddling around her expecting greatness from her
the reason she's brought to pharloom is that she is, in essence, an immortal weaver
Just asking:
Is it better to read the tutorial to get the ending I want first, or play blind?
I'm not used to multiple ending game. Everything is fated in my days
Play blind
what exactly they wanted an immortal weaver for is up for debate
Going off of interaction dialogue Grey Root, who is a Root and likely a Higher Being like White Lady, wakes up after a long dormant slumber when Hornet enters the room. They then act very suspiciously when you know the context, telling you to get pollips for "the rites" or the preperations. Then eventually you find their root baby that already exists in the world, bring it to them and then they curse you. If you kill GMS with the curse instead of binding GMS Grey Root comes out of you and grabs you and Grand Mother Silk killing you both in a unique ending where the entire Cradle becomes root.
ohhhhhh thats grey root
Are there any male weavers
No right
Oh wow that’s kind of crazy, also difficult as it means no healing for the final boss.
Silksong is based on weaver spider, right?
The male supposed to be able to make the same quality of web.
But idk if Team Cherry adopted this behavior, or make any Weaver as female.
likely not, the weavers were created by Grand Mother silk, so as artificially made beings essentially, they were not really made to reproduce
I think Grey Root is a twist on White Lady. White Lady was obsessed with making more vessels. Grey Root I think is obssessed with Rebirth and be coming stronger. I think they steal the power of GMS and you, being that you are half Wyrm.
Is there any point in doing the Whiteward boss?
Yeah but the Weavers are not silk based 😵 like lace is at least
...THAT LADY IS HAND MADE???
I thought she is.... well, a weaver.
So she's a product?
I think you get an important key from white ward boss
In fact Hornet expresses immense surprise when she realizes Lace is a pure being of silk
artificially made is the wrong way to put it
artificially enchanced is probably better
The Weavers where made by Grand Mother Silk, we see Grand Mother Silk turn a normal bug into a Weaver
OooooOoooohhh...
Like research or through certain brutal ritual?
why is it called silk when it should be webbing. silk is from worms not spiders
where
At the end of First Sinners fight
first sinner cutscene
Ik what you are talking about
first sinner has a cutscene?
After the fight yeah
huh
gms pushes silk into a bug/small spider, and this causes them to grow into a weaver
And then you get rune rage
can you post it, i never saw it
That's interesting, okay, so again back to this idea of a grand conspiracy
GMS when Silkworm Clan pulls up with a cease and desist letter
I’m still missing the blades pointing down silk ability

And im in act 3
you get it in act 3
i'm assuming you're talking about the silk spears right?
Yep definitely
nope. I got as my 97th percent
@lost lion Why do you not think theres some conspiracy here? All the places where you bind your skills literally speak of you as if you're a prophetic being that they were trying to create.
Where is it then?
I do wish some of the foundational lore in SilkSong was better told to the player. Like the fact that Hornet being part Weaver can bind memories to themself, gaining their power. They are binding the memories of deceased things to themself all game.
spoiler or hint?
They also can bind GMS Silk. Which gives them intermissions with them, but initially youd think its Weavers
Hint: like Verdania?
Hint: somewhere in the upper citadel, a passage is visible on the map.
Oh cradle?
I thought that was just for mister mushroom
sorry I got sidetracked. I'm of the opinion that these weaver structures were not necessarily locked to just hornet, but rather any "first generation" weavers that appeared
anyone kind enough to give me a clue on this?
look for holes in ceilings
I'm a 92%
The key for it is in whiteward
Thanks guys
Aight.
Imma continue explorind the citadel. Things got too interesting especially when I
correctly guessed that the sinner here is unnatural.
Like dude, look at the range of the silk that able to manipulate ppl. It's supposed to be NOT THAT FAR.
Also, any tips what I should focus on?
Ngl the amount of areas unlocked by deciding the wall jump up a random add wall is so annoying
Also, Widow is kinda cool eventhough her ability is kinda close range
Do wishes as soon as you get them, except for gourmand? That can wait
Actually The Father of the Flame might be a higher being of sorts? On the lowest of the spectrum
I know there's some wished that heavily effect the surrounding, like in bone village.
So they're significant, huh...
Basically anything on the wish wall should be done
They spoke of a person who would take back their kingdom, it seems to me that they were trying to kill their creator
It was prophetic in writing not general
Even getting the blue liquid?
Eghhh
oh. ON THE WALL.
Well okay how far are you in citadel?
Found the entrance, so it is locked to ||Act 3||...
How the Radiance was created is iffy but there was one interpretation that saw them as a deified moth person, who then became the patron and eventually seen as the creator of the moths. That would make The Father of the Flame a beginning stage of someone becoming deified if it even works like that
Already met Lace (not fighting, just talking) and succesfully get out from that brutal place.
I want to get in again, while Idk if I'm ready
Do all the songclave wishes
ALL???
ok
There will be multiple sets
I'll skip searching for blue liquid
Relax...
I don't even scroll up.
and Idk what "clave" means anyway
Ok so
It's also likely (at least in my head) that these tablets which grant these skills are likely not just objects, probably have at least some form of consciousness, as many of them seem to be too specific for prophecy, as those are typically much more vague, as well as Eva's existence suggesting some pretty interesting weaver abilities.
Hey so back on Grey Root, the ending where you beat GMS Cursed is called "The Rite of Rebirth" ending. Meaning that it is probably correct how Grey Root is an inversion on White Lady, who wants to rebirth themself stronger using other gods.
DEM
sorry i'm taking a really long time with these responses i'm struggling to write I think its time for bed for me
wait the key isn't here?
Nope
It’s behind a random breakable wall found after jumping through a hole in the ceiling.
All of them have the same structure except Eva though
Are we talking about the bound weavers?
You are talking about the weavnest or the places grantin silk skills or upgrades
Eva structurally talks with you like a person, the places granting silk skills say a very short a message to you
its not conversational
They don't even ask anything about you, they already KNOW you
One of the Weavers is called the "Weaver of Time" in their effigy, prophecy wouldn't be the strangest thing for them to do.
Right, one of the major forces in silksong, or at least in act 3, is memory, so it would make sense for the weavers to know of this and utilize it, potentially making these places that can, for lack of a better word, jog your memory, remember, these arent abilities that hornet is acquiring for the first time, she’s remembering how she once was before her weakening in pharloom
These words don’t necessarily come from the tablets but could also be just what hornet needs to hear to regain her strength
The only one I don’t get is sharp dart then
Cause thread storm and the throw are skills she uses IN hollow knight
Rune rage is from first sinner who more imparts their own power
Sharp dart?
Yea the skill where she turns into a spear and goes forward
Ok so the only one that makes no sense with that theory is sharp dart at least in my opinion.
Curious, is ||the unraveled|| bossfight tied to ||Act 3||?
Don’t think so
Not really
I’d love to keep debating, but unfortunately I have class tomorrow and its pushing 5 am now
Harpoon is found after whiteward so you need to go to underworks and come back to whitewardç
This is like the third time you’ve said you should sleep
Its fr this time I swear
You've just got to do the thing where you lie there for an hour and then give up and come back online first.
Can’t you access underworks right as soon as you enter citadel or can you not make it to grapple until you go through whiteward.
The mist has got to be the most cool experience for a new player imo
Especially if they find it in act 1
I'm most curious about Pharloom's leadership timeline. To the best of my knowledge there were a few different rulers around, then at some point the Weavers were in charge and constructed or aided in constructing the Citadel around Silk, and eventually after that Silk woke up and took control from them.
so that was a fucking lie
wait I destroyed it and it still has dialogue
I think so?
I'm going to get the beta version now
got them all
btw is this only for getting their hunter journal? i freed these guys and i didn't get anything from them
their room is also locked now in ||Act 3||
guys is herrah a weaver?
i'm seeing people on a post saying that she was just a "common bug"
In Red Memory how old is Hornet if Hornet is fighting Hive Queen Vespa and she is that size, around that time. She grows enormous and then cant leave her hive because she cant move out of it, eventually she dies of natural causes.
So how old would that make Hornet
Also Vespa knew about Weavers
Also White Lady talks as actual White Lady in Hornets memory and breaks the fourth wall, telling her to take it and accomplish her goals
After finishing the final act in this game, i have a good feeling all the Hollow Knight lore channels, especially Mossbag, are gonna have the biggest field day to have ever field day'd lmao
Theres still somethings we just dont understand, like what the heck dried up the Coral Desert
I feel like the importance of Red Memory is Hornet forgiving the Pale King and the White Lady for their vessel plan as now she empathises with them.
The biggest mystery right now, that I havent really seen answered is what caused the falling out with Grand Mother Silk and the Weavers. We have a few things it could be, the creation of EVA, or them not liking the practices of the Citadel. But the weavers seem to have started the Citadel at first
What is Eva implied to be? I understand Phantom is an early attempt at creating something like Lace
I may have missed like a small tablet we could read at the Sand Karek biome
EVA is the weavers own attempt to make life, as far as I know. They are said to be a extremely powerful higher being like figure, in a form too fragile to sustain them
Wait does SS take place in one of the HK's endings or all of it?
Is there anything that says how it was done? The ocean drying up?
Im still sad they cut out the water biome :(
Yeah them cutting coral caves is sad, and we see a ton of enemies that would have gone there
Theres always the DLC packs right?
Why would they do such thing? They can reproduce, right?
Im pretty sure SS is post Godhome ending, or the normal true ending
Underwater combat bouta go nuts
Team Cherry says they'll be doing DLCs for Silksong so i hope they the biome back in
Op still gotta dig through godmaster yet
I dunno but the Weavers did make EVA. Also the Weavers can reproduce but where seemingly made by Grand Mother Silk
Thats twice now that they cut out potentially swimming gameplay :')
I just did the Lost Lace ending, so SS is like, 100% a sequel huh
Yup its probably the Shade Lord Godhome ending
You see Shade Lords face pop up briefly in the meeting with The Knight
That’s my guess as well
Which means the Hollow Knight is alive and in Hollownest
That’s cool, I wonder what they’d be doing
Unique interraction if you (alternate ending spoiler) ||go to Eva while cursed||
I mean the Hollow Knight is on a different level of dangerous than The Knight, so Hollownest is probably safe
Is Soulsteel completely gone from the game?
Eyyyyyyyyyy. Was talking about Grey Root they are absolutely the same type of creature as White Lady
I believe at some point EVA is called a higher being with too fragile a form to do anything.
I was freaking the fuck out when Little Ghost appears and he like transforms into the Shade Lord
Little babey is a fucking god!!!
Grey Root is extremely powerful, and is definitely a Higher Being. They seem to be an inversion of what the White Lady does, instead of creating things they are obssessed with rebirth, and becoming stronger by rebirthing themself from other gods.
Same, also more confirmation that they do have feelings and emotions since they cared enough for her to saved Hornet
I wonder how they're doing back at Hallownest when Hornet gets kidnapped? Lol
Grey Root has an entire ending too them where if you beat Grand Mother Silk, Grey Root restrains both you and GMS before you even get a chance to bind them, and then kills you both, turning the entire citadel to root.
I imagine the Hollow Knight playing with Elder bug or smth lol
Oh fr? That’s interesting
Pretty confirms that the true ending and the godhome ending are canon!
Yep, they are ridiculously powerful and very murderous. After we get cursed we see the Soul Sanctum level of bodies stuck in their root walls in their basement
I looked it up on youtube and omg it was freaky af
Looks like something out of Alien
I really wonder whats their relation to Pharloom as a place, as they are definitely equal level with Grand Mother Silk and have just been ignoring them up to this point. Supposedly they where asleep before you show up to them
Infact when you do first meet them, they start listing what you are, before realizing your half Wyrm. If they didnt realize your a Wyrm and that they could use you, they probably would have just killed you like the people in their basement
From the looks of it, Grey Root infects gods, and rebirths itself through them to become stronger.
Im glad she took the baby away from my pocket, the little guy's cute but like pls stop, im not ready to be a mom
I had a fucking Russel from Up moment during Act 3
When i got rescued by the bell beast and her little babies pop out and all of us sang, i got the beastling call and i read it as, he's a mom???
I think you can hit that
I'm going crazy since the beggining of the game
Why are trees so weird in this universe 💔
First White Lady now Grey Root lmao
It's like I'm missing something here
I dunno but their the same type of Root creature as White Lady. They are probably a Pale Being because White Lady is one, and are ridiculously powerful likely on level with White Lady minus the power limiting and being passive.
Also why are there like 8 diff areas that you can only access by going to some obscure corner of a room 💔
im looking at u bilewater
I dont know why they had a kid though, but it seems they do this type of thing often due to EVA's response, where they will infect people kill them and come back stronger.
Dude the ducts are only found because of that merchant quest
White Lady was a freak
The path to that flea starts in the fast travel room
At least she took care of hornet to some degree (i think?)
just found it, what the fuck
My exact reaction when I found it too
Someone run a count of how many unmarked hidden walls and hidden areas there are in the game
There is a metric fuck ton
Ts gotta be in the thousands
Omg i remembered the whole Hornet was raised by 3 queens lore back in Hollow Knight but it got scrapped, and it was later reintroduced in Silksong, making it canon aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
AND BABY HORNET, SHE SO BABEYYYYY
A whole ass silk heart is hidden behind a missing ceiling then a breakable fucking wall
Welcome to Hollow Knight lol
Hornet was raised by midwife, pale lady and someone else i thought
Pardon?
Bro I don’t remember hollow knight being this bad
HK was NOT as bad as ss is with walls
how to reach act 3?
Then again I played after the many updates where information was very easy to get.
Watch your tone mister 👁️ 👁️ /j
Guys Im reading the journal and noticing hornet really likes fluffy things lol
preeetty sure you gotta complete all the wishes idr
Yep
She likes fluffy large creatures
I agree, those giant moss grubs look really soft and cuddly, i agree with her tho, wish it wasnt so spikey
Large flea is particularly liked
I like that the Large Flea was like a mini boss lol
Can we just say though that bell beast is the cutest thing team cherry has come up with
Ngl I'd hug one of the moss bugs from greenpath theyre adorable
Large flea almost ran the fade with me im ngl 💔
I don’t remember a large flea I might have dementia
Counterpoint ||Babies||
tbh when in Red Mist I almost lost it at the White Palace section thinking we were gonna see Hornet talk with Pale King
||The bell beast includes the bell babies||
Hornet sprint + a+d
Or joystick right left
Sorry no
I remember fighting this guy named Seth while trying to get to Nyleth, if i remember this guy was important in the Hollow Knigjt community?
The way they stomp their feet when you go afk to get hornets attention
Some dude named seth
I mean, Seth is a cool name tho
I believe that's Seth Goldman, who couldn't make it to Silksong release and TC had him design a character
That's the final name on the credits also
The fact when you use V they roar back and the fact you can come back to them NAPPING
It’s so adorable!
Oh...now im sad
And then you hit them in the face 20 times
I would never
Was Seth a kickstarter backer?
do i need to complete this to unlock act 3
?
I don't think so, let me look for the reddit post
devs confirmed that it’s petting and that it doesnt harm the bellbeast
Nope thank god
phew
They did?
Dear god
Ya
Team Cherry is EVIL for making it have 3 health AND taking 2 damage from literally everything
like just make it the delicate flower at that point
The Radiance does the same damage as half the pharloom enemies btw
Honestly though as long as you make it to mountain it should be smooth sailing from there
And he never did....but at least Seth actually made it in the game as a fun cool boss...

sorry but nothing is gonna hit the same as the boss in Failed Organ
Yes, even though Seth seems to be reworked for the final game. I believe he was actually going to be fought in the Citadel.
Hornet 2?
Phantom? Shit is a surreal experience
Hornet, Hornet edition
Also it’s exhaust organ if I got it right
The silver lining was at least when you reach the Whiteward, there is a tool that can make healing faster, but its not like the speed during the beginning trailers, its a little faster, Multi bind makes healing finally duable lmao
Phantom showed up, died, and gave me the anti duelist ability gotta love it
Seth was supposed to be an NPC found in the cut barnacle area.
Girly pop, plays the organ, says nothing, beefs with Hornet, dies like a shakespear character
What a diva
Injector + multibind 😍
cut?
in the end, was there any relation to HK in silksong? I'm barely finishing act 1 but just curious
Ah barnacles
But like the journey of sinners road into the mist into phantom just to show up in the fucking citadel was crazy when I did it cause that’s how I got to citadel
Yeah, barnacle area is gone from the game. There's the electry barnacle subarea in Sands though
I didnt know you could shortcut that
But he's found in Act 3 guarding one of the mandatory story quests, honestly him as a boss is better than nothing, happy Team Cherry acknowledge him
Have you done the act 3 stuff yet?
Like in the memorium?
It’s why I think the 5 hour speedrun won’t be that bad
5 hour speedrun all acts
Speaking of, omg yeah the barnacle area, that was also scrapped
No
Because my king should not be disrespected
oh
Yeah
So it IS like in the memorium, just its own area
idk I considered the coral king and sands the extent of it
Correct!
Told the story it needed
So why did you say no silly goose 
I’m so sad the coral area is gone it seems like it would have been really cool
Why tf do they cut out the cool water biomes in favor of FUCKING BILEWATER AND THAT OTHER SEWER BIOME WHATS IT CALLED???
cause the Memorium part is only there because Voltnest exists
This is what happens when team cherry doesn’t have enough dev time
I want the beautiful colorful coral biome man 😭
Brother they had 7 years
was there any conenction or reference to HK in silksong?
It’s sarcasm
We dont talk about Bile Water around here
Fucking maggots
A
Literally 💀
Team Cherry saw Blighttown and said "We can do better"
genuinely hoping they do a dlc with extra content
Dookie land made it in but water world didn’t💔
and not actually make it into a new fkng game jsjsj
Thankfully I didn’t die on the Bilewater boss fight
The barnacle area was also supposed to have it's own town I guess with this dude (which probably was another Snail Shaman)
So no dumb run back for me
I would pay extra for the coral biome and barnacle town coming back with like 10 new bosses honestly
I don’t think it exists
too many wishes to do tbh, are the board wishes the only ones necessary for act 3?
Think so
I think it will probably be a dlc
would make sense
Paid or free?
The wish part only seems like it will be an issue for 100% speedrun
Cause wishes aren’t really that bad
who knows
NOOOOOOOOOOO
Free probably
Wait she’s dead?
wait I get his shit for free?
You probably still got to craft it
This actually happens when you get everything
I actually really like this dude
I got this from the corpse
MY KING
Sucks his fight is stupid easy compare to everyone else
