[minor geyser]

Sadly

I'm act 3

[rigid cypress]

Oh lmfao

But like, you got double jump without Clawline?

Pretty sure you need Sharpdart to do that

[minor geyser]

The ForeBrothers are much harder

There are glitches to it

[rigid cypress]

I see

[sand quartz]

You can do it with fleabrew and plasmium phials too

[rigid cypress]

I see

[sand quartz]

Still need three cocoon skips either way

[minor geyser]

Like just jumping in the snow and using flintslate

[rigid cypress]

I don’t remember the Sharpdart method needing that

[minor geyser]

That doesn't get you that far though

[minor geyser]

BC there's other methods

[rigid cypress]

Yeah but they said either way

[sand quartz]

First one is right after the first bench, second is right before the third bench, third is right after the third bench

[rigid cypress]

Uhhhh

Didn’t see that in the vid I watched

[sand quartz]

You need one to climb up to the big drop, one to climb up the end of the big open room and one to climb up right after the third bench

[sand quartz]

Link?

[rigid cypress]

Nvm I am dumb and forgetful

[minor geyser]

I also skipped some bosses like sister splinter, moorwing and the fourth chorus

[sand quartz]

Mf do you even like playing the game bruh

[minor geyser]

I hate how they patched the savage beastly in far fields

[minor geyser]

I went back for them I just needed to do something else

Wait no I didn't skip fourth chorus in my main save or moorwing

My first save I did

[minor geyser]

Yeah I just upgraded my needle and got clawline first

[slender anchor]

Guys does the warding bell have a limit to how much it can protect you, like how the baldur shell charm is in HK?

[rigid cypress]

Nope

[fierce meteor]

Anti pirating W

[minor pendant]

Silksong on mobile ? Nah skip

[rigid cypress]

"We don't do that, that's pirating" 🤓

[neon sorrel]

Fourth chorus has some exploding rocks above his head that when you hit will end the fight early, and I find that pretty cool, yet another way in which this boss is similar to iron golem from ds1; they both let you manipulate your environment to end the fight early

[mint dust]

I mean it is an iron golem

[lost anvil]

I did not know that Bilewater was so welcoming

Definitely the tourist destination ever

[hallow otter]

"Thanks for your attention." no way

[night wharf]

i did it

i found an actually legitimately terrible silksong boss

father of the flame has zero redeeming qualities

[shut igloo]

I like pogoing

[night wharf]

• fight is uninteresting
• attacks are tedious as fuck to dodge (wisps turning on a dime to hit me point blank from across the goddamn room)
• you get zero silk from it
• the item you get is literally just silksong's glowing womb equivalent

[crystal nova]

Wispire Lantern is still way better than glowing womb

[signal anchor]

Glowing womb is the goat

[crystal nova]

It deals so little damage for how much soul it needs

[signal anchor]

No its peak man

U just are unable to play summoner builds

[crystal nova]

Even spells do better damage

[signal anchor]

Too easy to use spells or nail

Summoner solos

[plucky idol]

its ez tho so wasnt that bad

[long burrow]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/586931790208434203/1444952928786976789/fleapetting.webp

[rigid cypress]

Unique fight, where you get zero silk, which is unique for the Act you fight it, and you get Glowing Womb but good

It’s a very Mother Brain-esque boss

Not great but like, it’s no… Plasmified Zango

[night wharf]

i dont think plasmified zango should be considered a boss

its more depressing than anything

this long dead dude has been reanimated by lifeblood

[rigid cypress]

Then Broodmother

[shut igloo]

Worst boss imo is Voltvyrm, and that's just because it has the difficulty of an early act 1 boss when you're going to be fighting it late into act 2, or in act 3. It's just boring nothing.

It even has terrible HP, literally the same HP and damage modifier values as the first Savage Beastfly. So it's not even a sponge.

[elder notch]

.

[neon sorrel]

Freak everyone in #sk-discussion

[north aurora]

Dayum

[dapper ice]

i like volyvyrm

it was easy but satisfying

[raw herald]

yeah it's cool but it's really easy

[minor geyser]

Ello

[crystal nova]

It would have been worce if it was a damage sponge

[icy phoenix]

wwwwhat is your problem

[elder notch]

sk 2 is dead rip

[lethal pollen]

guys who's with me that expedition 33 probably gets the goty instead of silksong?

[north aurora]

Me

[manic cairn]

||lost lace|| is beating my azz, someone please help 😭 is this build any good?

some of the attacks are making me want to chew bricks

[north aurora]

Ask #sk-help

[severe valve]

its like

okay

[rigid cypress]

Honestly this ain’t a bad build, but I’d say Weavelight is not that good

For Hunter specifically, I mean

It’s already a Crest that will gain a bunch of unused Silk if you take advantage of Focus, which means Weavelight will not be doing much for you

[limber token]

parry imo makes any fight much easier

[quiet talon]

i would take off sharpdart, weavelight, and filament

[real dagger]

sharpdart is like sharp shadow + dashmaster but stronger

[quiet talon]

slow windup makes it unviable for ll

[edgy cedar]

is it just me or do i think silksong is ahh

[lofty perch]

It’s the same cast time for nearly all skills, and it’s not that slow

[quiet talon]

for the range it’s cast time makes it mostly unviable for ll specifically

[lofty perch]

I can’t really say anything because I mainly used needle and which crest bind

[tawny basin]

anyone know if Snare Setter counts for a completion percent before you give it to Caretaker?

because that determines if Act 1 Max% is 61 or 62

[fierce zenith]

Dlc idea

Claw line brings stuff to you if you hold up

And a red tool that drops if moorwing is killed in act 2

Like his spinning claw attack

[tawny basin]

that sounds cool

[fierce zenith]

I just sat down and cooked

[tawny basin]

facts

[fierce zenith]

But I am afraid it's gonna be too much like curvesiclke and cog wheel

[tawny basin]

hmmm

maybe it should be like the one in Phase 2 when he shoots the 2 above his head that converge

[fierce zenith]

Yeah

[compact spruce]

I'm having trouble with diving bell key can anyone help

[nova forum]

what trouble?

it's just in the room above it

[compact spruce]

I can't f

Find i

[nova forum]

you have to be in act 3 and have talked to ballow

[compact spruce]

I am

[nova forum]

you cant find the bell itself or the key

[compact spruce]

I get killed before I can do anything

[nova forum]

where

did you not do forebrothers in act 2 or something

that could be tough

[compact spruce]

I'm looking for it and there's one spot I haven't been to but there's a boss the that I can't get past yup I didn't

[nova forum]

oof

venom-ified forebrothers isnt fun lol

yeah you'll have to beat them

that's on the way

[compact spruce]

Ok

[nova forum]

after beating them you unlock a shortcut

[compact spruce]

What crest would you use

[nova forum]

i used wanderer the whole game after i got it so

that one

you could go architect and tool spam the whole thing

[compact spruce]

That's the one I use I can't get past the fireball guys tho

[nova forum]

grinding shards/beads isnt the most fun in act 3 tho if you're not rich

[compact spruce]

I
Have zero left after cheesing the fight with groal

[nova forum]

i actually went back to act 2 after defeating bell eater and realizing i forgot to go fight the forebrothers in my playthrough lol

then i farmed up a bunch of rosaries and shell shard bundles

before going back to act 3 lol

but all i lost was getting through bell eater

[dim grail]

bet you guys are going to destroy me, but i think bilwater is a good area

[thorn summit]

It’s well made but really annoying to get through. But Ik that your just attention seeking 😔

[dim grail]

while i am seeking attention, i actually enjoyed Bilewater. you're not gonna like the fact that i also like Groal

[thorn summit]

groal wasn’t bad the run back was

[dim grail]

yeah, the runback was pretty stinking bad,

but groal was top tier, the also with the voidness of groal was pretty nostalgic and subtle foreshadowing

[thorn summit]

Most people just got frustrated on him bcuz they made dumb mistakes or the mucked water but he legit wasn’t that bad, and if you just couldn’t beat him there’s always toolspam as an option

[dim grail]

currently doing toolspam against Aunt Karmelita

[thorn summit]

I think in some dialogue he was a shaman that was turned by something but I have no idea, might be tweaking

[dim grail]

REALLY!?!?! WOW!!!

[thorn summit]

I have 0 idea if ts is sarcasm or not

[dim grail]

its not, i think thats cool.

sorry if i came off as saracstic

[thorn summit]

nah it’s fine that all caps confused me

silk and soul was honestly really easy to do, only roadblock was groal

[dim grail]

same here.

now i'm stuck on act three

[thorn summit]

same bro I’m trying to get to crust king khann but the 4 gauntlets before him are annoying and I haven’t been able to get past the 3rd one for the shortcut

[dim grail]

that doesnt sound fun

[thorn summit]

it isn’t on some waves there are mini raging conch flies that are annoying asl to hit and do double damage

this game is ragebait😔

[dim grail]

yes it is,

sometimes, thats part of the fun

[thorn summit]

and the reason why team cherry made silksong cost 20$ didn’t want to drain our money, only mental state

[dim grail]

right

I could do this every seven years. pay for a great game using pretty much only my mental sanity

[thorn summit]

Sometimes I wonder if TC wanted us to enjoy the game

but atleast it’s gas

[icy sigil]

You could use shaman with pale nails and the electric bugalloo thingy and the tears of druid, i used this weird build to reach the checkpoint, once there you can die to change to a diferença build to fight khan

I don't think it works all the time but it will get you there sometime due to stalling

[thorn summit]

alr I’ve been overdosing on plasmium usually to get to like the 3rd gauntlet and been dying there

[icy sigil]

I also tried that, in my case it didn't work because my controler has insane drift in the movement stick so i have to flip my character around a lot, i just got hit too much for it to have a good effect

But it can work

[thorn summit]

yeah I’ve been using threadstorm but it isn’t really working might use that but honestly blue slots are the most competed for because there are way too many good blues

but i sold by using injector band with plasmium overdose tbh

[icy sigil]

Yeah, the blue tools have way too many good tools that could make a build even better but can't because of no slots

[warm egret]

It's a good area

[thorn summit]

Yeah

[icy sigil]

I considered using witch crest for the extra blue slot but the dps increase in the third gauntlet ended up saving me more than the extra blue slot

No wonder khan was surrounded by so many warriors at his dead state

[thorn summit]

Yeah dps is op

[icy sigil]

Those fellas are nearly [tittle card] when together

[lone pasture]

I found this on Facebook

[nova forum]

i hated it at first, but it grew on me for sure... you'll never convince me that bench needed to be as hidden as it is tho, that's maybe my biggest complaint in this whole game lol

[dim grail]

yeah, the bench was tricky to find. (nice pfp by the way)

I also got a knight one but it also had a similar fate

It would not have happened if i was told before leaving that kids would be going to my house 💔

[dim estuary]

Saw someone claiming that you shouldn't use spacebar for anything in a metroidvania, so I was wondering how y'all (keyboard players) have your mappings set up.

Here's mine:
left hand, movement:

• wasd: up, left, down, right
• space: jump
• shift: dash
• ctrl: harpoon
  right hand, combat:
• k: attack
• l: silk skill
• ;: bind (all three are in the same row)
  Then usually the first letter of the action for other misc. stuff, like n for needolin

for half of my first playthrough, I was doing everything with one hand lol (remanent from og HK). Had to remap my muscle memory after getting the harpoon and I realized I was playing on hardcore mode for no reason

[icy sigil]

Engrish

[fossil oriole]

actually
there is a line if you talk to the shamans about the red memory rite while cursed
they'll refuse to do it, because they'd be reaching into its memories as well as hornet's
my guess is that the "boss rush" mode will be something akin to the red memory, bosses strung together from silk and memory
and if there's enough of the greyroot parasite left to pull at in that way.....
that could be very interesting

[fathom sun]

I'm actually planning on doing that tonight just so I can go get the first ending faster

[hazy ridge]

chat i just did all of the old heart bosses hitless in act 3 🔥

[nova forum]

nice!

[hazy ridge]

thanks 🙏 actually i only have 5 bosses left in act 3 to do hitless, and also the game (ive done all act 1 and 2 bosses hitless)

those being lost garmond, pinstress, watcher at the edge, crawfather and plasmified zango

[frigid knoll]

I use (for hollow knight but I imagine I would use similar control for Skong) the default controls, and have never had a problem. The only thing is I think I remapped the quick map and inventory button. I like these keybinds though, maybe I’ll use them. The only bad keybinds are the ones that use mouse

[icy sigil]

Good job

[hazy ridge]

thanks! 🙏

[plucky idol]

any suggestions

[frigid knoll]

Don’t use pail nails

[icy sigil]

What is the boss/situation

And yeah, don't use pale nails

[plucky idol]

jus got it so i was testing it out. I usually run cross stitch instead and replace the pollop puch w injector band

[plucky idol]

im about to dive into the void

[icy sigil]

Okay, i am more of a stall player (i beat up the boss with focus on my nail but my kit is focused in surviving in case i am hit

[stoic fractal]

i 3d printed hornet's needle

[vale kelp]

pale nails is good tho

its a silk spear that cant pierce but you also dont need to aim it

[stoic fractal]

beast crest is honestly underrated

even if the pogo sucks

[vale kelp]

beast is peak

[vale kelp]

the wind up just takes getting used to

[stoic fractal]

yes

also what do you think of hornets needle?

[vale kelp]

flying enemies are not safe when you have beast pogo

[stoic fractal]

it took 7 hours

Equivalent dmg to Silkspear and Cross Stitch, but with homing

pale nails is everything rune rage wanted to be

[flint cedar]

I have a small question for anyone who has more elite ball knowledge than me

I noticed in phantom’s theme, it shared a small amount of musical synergy with Bilewater’s theme.
Is this intentional or am I just hearing things

[shut igloo]

Exhaust Organ is in Bilewater so

[flint cedar]

I guess that’s a question for team cherry tho, I will have to see if it gets answered in a panel or smthn bec I’m wondering if it was an intentional design choice or am I just hearing something incorrectly

[bronze reef]

well it's in bilewater and she plays the organ so it's most definitely intentional by Larkin

ikr, it's one of the more innovative fights in this gamae

my only gripe with it is his last phase where he does the triple shield slam, that breaks up the flow too much for me

[granite summit]

Almost died to trobbio, almost died to 2 separate gauntlets, worried a bit in mount fay, fractured mask broke a few times,

This is a nice smooth sailing steel soul run
