sk-discussion

[meager nexus]

Havent reached act 2 so far but in act 1 its definitely 4th chorus

[fair bison]

yeah i met them. they chill.

[real spindle]

Wanderer seems really good especially with the blue tool that increases your needle reach and the yellow tool that keeps you steady

[past yarrow]

Not just that, it outright doesnt target you in final phase

[safe yew]

Honestly havent fought him yet but purely by design hes my favorite character

[polar jay]

[pulsar granite]

isn't that the same in hollowknight?, seems like a nod to the original maskmaker

[fathom cobalt]

is it possible to access the rest of ||the slab without getting captured? i made it in but it feels like i can only access a small portion||

[steady swallow]

the dlcs will go hard

[ripe dagger]

Touch grass now bro

[lone plank]

cogwork dancers

[polar stag]

Suffering through the Underworks without Rosaries is just misery. I want out

[sly shadow]

Bro whens pantheon coming so we can fight them as a thruple

[stiff tide]

||lace act 2 or phantom||

[sullen briar]

his fight is so fun

[fair bison]

"through the darkness and dangers you preserved" you got that right

[errant topaz]

10/10 boss fight, died none

[analog holly]

How do I get there PLEASE HELP

[late prawn]

Is there even any point in doing tipp and pill deliveries other than rosaries cause they seem to just respawn indefinitely

[proper tartan]

is that act 2?

[pulsar granite]

yes

[polar jay]

i would like that

[graceful cairn]

yeah i was expecting a rampage phase at the end like the oblobbles in hk so that really hit

[past yarrow]

Oh yes, its just HK. But worth noting range is better than HK.

[safe yew]

Valid he was my favorite for a wild

[pure oar]

if you want to experience that put on barbed bracelet and face ||lace 2||

[tame steeple]

you need an item called ||key of apostate|| but NGL i dont remember where i got it

[fair bison]

me too lol

[compact shoal]

its from bilewater after you beat the boss

[ornate egret]

Oh dang, I didn't know you could do that. I'll have to check in a later video, I don't feel like coming back all the way back up there just for this

[daring bay]

well yeah it only makes sense
speaking of harder the gimmick where you can’t stand on hot coals in deep docks for too long was an incredible idea, they should just do that for all ground in the game

[marsh gust]

fast + midair + 3 masks healed tho, plus you can extend your spool

[lone plank]

you get it in the putrified ducts

[stiff tide]

The special ones? Yes (gl on the liquid laquer btw that shit sucks.) the generic ones idk

[oblique creek]

After Blighttown 2.0

[real spindle]

My only real gripe is the up slash but tbh even the reaper upslash is abysmal

[polar jay]

is lace 2 also susceptible to repeated trauma to the head, like i did to her the first time? boing boing boing diagonal slash, diagonal slash, diagonal slash!!!

[pulsar granite]

found in ||putrified ducts||

[vestal plume]

from ||greymoor at the 2nd from the right big area||

[gaunt wolf]

it gets harder but no malenia

[magic lodge]

Finally beat the true ending final boss no hit no tools and I've just been looking at the save screen for like 30 minutes 😭 😭

[hardy wyvern]

wait trobio?

[sullen briar]

bilewater is just deepnest but 10x worse

[tame steeple]

bro that boss was actual torture LOL

[errant topaz]

yeah

[pulsar granite]

it gets manageable

[gaunt wolf]

omg ongbal?

[summer flame]

||how to cure the curse after the quest||

[vestal plume]

dawg its just poison swamp from fromsoft lmfao

[analog holly]

at the 2nd from? can you DM me the location please?

[pastel sparrow]

Yeah. Have all of the town wishes done just need the meal for the oil

[safe yew]

What boss took yall the most attempts?
I'm ashamed to say it was ||chef lugoli/ass jim|| which took me 25 tries

[graceful cairn]

i just realized when i beat silksong ill be so lost

[oblique creek]

Massive skill issue fr

[fair bison]

whats yall favorite ||crest||

[pure oar]

i honestly do not remember the lace 1 fight she died too fast

[magic lodge]

war

[dense oar]

anyone know how to open all this stuff in the top right of far fields, checked every wall where the map shows

[compact shoal]

yeah I just stayed in the maggot water and hit him whenever possible lol fk staying up above

[polar jay]

Four with a charm and there's also a second life charm

[sullen briar]

what if an enemy did 3 masks 🤔

[past yarrow]

Its not rly hard, but its unforgiving as fuck. Rly rough for newer folk.

[lusty knoll]

go to mount fay (snowy place) before bilewater

[nimble sparrow]

wtf am i supposed to do in the mist pls help

[lone plank]

yeah and it should oneshot you so the game encourages speedrunning, and since they do that they should add a 5 minute timer for you to beat the whole game and if you fail you get timetravelled back to 2 weeks before silksong releases

[gaunt wolf]

search up on google

[ripe dagger]

Guys I made it to act 2 and is this boss in act 1? Because I didn’t fought it

[green nimbus]

Well yes, I do.
Do you have any questions about it?

[real spindle]

Savage Beastfly 1

[pure oar]

music will guide your soul

[sly shadow]

Reaper up slash is a weird fox upair man

[safe yew]

Reaper or beast for sure

[sullen briar]

evil ass place man

[hardy wyvern]

damn, how on earth did you manage to beat him first try? I have died 50+ times to this guy!
||still love his boss fight tho lol, i love his entire theme||

[gaunt wolf]

think silksong

[oblique creek]

Ever play Ocarina of Time? Lost Woods?

[ornate egret]

Wait for the hit-spam enemies

[pulsar granite]

||fucking flower quest ahh wish||

[graceful cairn]

probably the reaper crest cause the pogo is nice and i like the extra silk

[trail raven]

what are the best charms to use just wondering

[stiff tide]

He took me a while as well, I think it was ||act 2 lace|| not sure though

[lusty knoll]

2 masks just means you gotta be more careful ngl, i feel like if most of the bosses in this game were 1 mask they would be way too easy

[fair bison]

||st judge||

[sullen briar]

why not just do it rn

[tame steeple]

i stayed on the far right of the arena cuz the spike balls dont hit you there and the enemies before the fight are easy to kill there

[polar jay]

as someone who has played quite a bit of celeste the hot coal ground never bothered me because i am already used to spamming short hops

[polar stag]

Savage Beastfly has to be the only Act 1 boss I actually hated

[errant topaz]

his attacks are so well telegraphed lol, only his tornado move is one to look out for

[tame steeple]

savage beastfly harder than NKG on the lowks...

[hardy widget]

fuck i love the wanderers crst

[void mural]

there’s like 3 you can only get in act 3

[late prawn]

Do I have to just check periodically for the special ones or is there something in particular I do to get them to appear. I did one for that one npc in sinners Road that makes you silkeaters and saw it made them able to make you 2 at a time so I realised the special ones likely have unique rewards already

[lone plank]

straight pin is S-tier

[sly shadow]

Also gamers are we KB or controller players?

[misty lantern]

I am genuinely developing cog phobia

[magic lodge]

oh no my first hitless was actually before his, I just did a new hitless that was no tools nail only and I think its the first on youtube?

[past yarrow]

Imo there should be a range

Like 1 mask collision and 2 masks for every heavy ass move

[sullen briar]

forbidden love 🥹

[astral jacinth]

Genuinely with all of my heart and soul fuck bilehaven, if it was between doing that and killing myself im pulling the trigger

[fair bison]

i died more to ||last judge|| and the ||high halls gauntlet|| than the final boss.

[lone plank]

kb

[thin burrow]

I like reaper a bit more, the range is nice

[trail raven]

real

[real spindle]

Threefold Pin seems to be better with the poison

[pure oar]

trobio took me like 5 tries it was actually mostly the screenshaking that messed me up in that fight

[lusty knoll]

absolutely true

[oblique creek]

Anyone who uses KBM for this game needs to get back on the meds

[daring bay]

same here tbh it’s for the bit thou
also celeste is like the best platformer ever i still need 2 get to finishing farewell…

[polar jay]

doesnt savage beastfly literally kill all the minions as it passes through? all you gotta do is not get hit by the big guy and then hit him as he slams the ground vertically

[lone plank]

i was joking

[compact shoal]

woah wtf is that

[tame steeple]

why not threefold pin tho? only slightly less capacity for 3 times the pins

[sullen briar]

the froag boss was not that hard tbh

[gaunt wolf]

his is also nail only, but gj king

[dense oar]

lol no idea

[polar stag]

Savage Beastfly the first time I got more frustrated by the runback than the actual boss

[sly shadow]

💀 I'm a keyboard player

[lone plank]

I WAS JOKING

[graceful cairn]

well thats because that gauntlet is hell you cant compare anything to it

[charred pulsar]

😓

[fair bison]

i have only found ||wander, reaper, beast, and architech||

[hardy wyvern]

yea i got him ater a lot of fighting but i still died a lot, im just really surprised that someone was able to beat him on their first try since i was having such a diffcult time myself

[sly shadow]

Bro it's actually easier on keyboard

[pure oar]

im also a keyboard player

[polar jay]

i havent beaten the c sides or golden strawberries as my attention shfited towards casual speedrunning, but i did beat farewell. currently im like 40s off sub 40

[oblique night]

Guys how do I open journal on hitbox

[misty lantern]

I'm too far in to switch to controller brother I am becoming suicidal

[magic lodge]

yeah but he has tools equipped, he clearly has barbed bracelet on

[graceful cairn]

alr guess im a masochist

[real spindle]

Threefold is better after you get the poison, but without poison straight pin is pretty competitive with threefold in terms of damage

[daring bay]

you can justify keyboard for hk but definitely not for silksong

[compact shoal]

mnk is lowkey goated guys

[fair bison]

does anyone use ||architech or beast||

[past yarrow]

Wdym? Whats the damage gap

[real spindle]

Ive been playing keyboard for silksong just fine

[tame steeple]

i usually run threefold + cogfly but if the boss is grounded then ill run tacks and its EZPZ

[radiant light]

Agreed, the high healing/mobility necesitates higher enemy damage output

*i do think base hp should compensate for this, but 1 damage would make it trivial to face tank most bosses instead of learning mechanics

[earnest sonnet]

Whats wrong with playing it on a controller

[safe yew]

Heres how many tries each boss took me
Am I cooked 💔

[pastel sparrow]

Chat should I go on reddit and complain about double damage now

[polar jay]

silksong on keyboard plays perfectly fine

[astral jacinth]

After that long ass arena with almost no chance to heal cuz you keep falling in the maggots? Absolutely not. I’m just not doing it

[sullen briar]

architect looks so fun to use but i cant switch of hunter 😢

[lone plank]

im too used to celeste kb gameplay so i do it on keyboard for hk as well

[graceful cairn]

keyboard and mouse sucks with hk

[pure oar]

||architech|| is fun its just that i dont have the shell shards for that

[daring bay]

yes

[earnest sonnet]

It depends entirely on the person, some find it easier on a controller

[misty lantern]

til you gotta pogo on shit bro cogwork core is kicking my ass

[real spindle]

2 threefold pins = 1 straight pin, but having poison means landing 1 threefold pin is less resource wasted

[rose mist]

wooooot upwards crystal dash lets go

[sullen briar]

make a twitter thread bout it

[hardy wyvern]

yall can we PLZ stop calling Savage Beastfly hard? It only have like 2 attacks+summon minions cmon yall

[thin burrow]

Idk why people are so hung up on it, the first fight is seriously not that bad
The rematch on the ||fourth chorus|| arena can go fuck itself tho

[placid citrus]

dw bro they do it here too, go all out

[marsh gust]

kb bc im used to and don't love joysticks, especially for stuff like platforming/precise movements

[dusty acorn]

just got the least climactic phantom kill ever

[oblique creek]

I use the Scuff Envision Pro, best controller on the market and SS feels incredible on it

[ornate egret]

Is what I was thinking as well. iirc many enemies worked like this in HK. They can strike a balance between that and what we have now.

[sly shadow]

Bro they should make the default keyboard setup as WASD JKL; instead of the arrow bs

[fleet reef]

What do y'all think is the worst area too btw

[earnest sonnet]

Idk who cares if some are playing on controller for the extra difficulty experience

[polar stag]

50 fucking attempts on Savage Beastfly just for a Crest I'm not even good enough to use effectively 😭

[lone plank]

🤑

[wintry narwhal]

mouse and keyboard

[sullen briar]

he is fat

[graceful cairn]

how do i get some shell shards fast i literally have none

[dusty acorn]

just teleported to a tack and died frame 1

[late prawn]

31 on last judge is crazy

[compact shoal]

this is why im hardstuck on repear crest cuz it gives me time to adjust since its slow on the pogo

[safe yew]

I was the opposite of locked in 😢

[radiant light]

A tad higher than me but so long as your having fun you'll be fine

[tame steeple]

the default keybinds are butt tbh, for HK i ran wasd and jkl; for all my abilities. but for silksong ive just been on controller

[oblique creek]

Literal mental illness ngl

[pastel sparrow]

This game is very forgiving for getting the healing off I wouldnt be surprised someone has a steel mode run completed soon

[pure oar]

poison + cogflies = pogflies

[sly shadow]

OK you're a fucking psycho who tf uses left and right click wtf

[plucky dew]

is max health 9 masks?

[surreal cradle]

I play kbm cause I’m silly like that ig

[graceful cairn]

itd be easy if it werent for those minions ||(especially in the second one)||

[stiff tide]

Well theres only one more special one after the one you just did. It by itself doesn’t have a special reward but it’s a part of a bunch of other stuff that’s for… something. I’d rather not spoil unless you want me to. I’d do it anyway.

[fair bison]

i wish the shards were infinite or simply didnt rely on a resource. like the traps simply refilled when resting at a bench

[compact shoal]

mouse is too good for this yo dont underestimate

[fiery plaza]

Does anyone have tips for the gauntlet ||in hunter’s March|| I’m actually so frustrated w it rn

[late prawn]

Fr it took me 2 tries BOTH times you fight it, annoying biss but by no means is is hard

[misty lantern]

I'm so ass not even reaper is helping me 😭

[surreal cradle]

I use left click for attack and right click for dash 😁

[hardy wyvern]

THAT IS NOT . . . uhm that is not a reason . . . i mean it doesnt change . . . uh . . .
okay fine thats a fair point, Savage beastfly is hard

[oblique night]

They should give keyboard movement assist

[magic lodge]

wait is posting youtube videos here allowed, even if it has spoilers? I know spoilers are allowed but people prefer if you use spoiler tag

[chrome sedge]

anyone know how to open the door on the bottom left of deep docks?

[hardy widget]

why? im moving perfectly fine

[oblique night]

Ik Im kidding

[sly shadow]

Just use the JKL; keys wtf

[daring bay]

other side

[polar jay]

the only game i haven't managed to play with a keyboard is castle crashers. silksong on keyboard plays great!

[real spindle]

I use purely keyboard input cause having a layout similar to a hitbox for fighting games help a lot

[surreal cradle]

Me and u man

[misty lantern]

spoiler the link iy'll spoiler the embed

[late prawn]

If the deliveries count as quests then I assume its needed to unlock act 3 or something?

[fair bison]

get the second ||nail upgrade|| at ||whispering vaults|| remember to jump off wall is you feel trapped or cornered

[graceful cairn]

same. best way to get more is probably buying them from ||that smith in deep docks||

[chrome sedge]

theres doors on thb other side that are locked behind a switch

[magic lodge]

oh fr? fire

[pastel sparrow]

I was stubborn and got it 2nd try but I would reccomend || sting shard sold by forge duaghter in deep docks || and getting ||the dash || ability

[safe yew]

We yes WE all agree that ||cogwork dancers|| has the best boss theme in both hk and silksong

[hardy wyvern]

AGREED! like it can be annoying the first time but calling it hard? CMON! everyone calling it hard or the hardest boss ever got major, and i mean MAJOR, silk issues

[opaque sigil]

they are not

[sly shadow]

💀 mouse users and arrow key uses fr psychos wtf

[stiff tide]

Yep

[magic lodge]

[ionic fern]

True

[vestal plume]

is there a ring?

[restive sapphire]

those are some very interesting keybinds

[whole roost]

the ascent up this mountain is incredibly hard, and i dont understand how im supposed to be able to use my needle to grab this bug when he floats out of range of it

[sly shadow]

OH THANK GOD ANOTHER NORMAL PERSON

[chrome sedge]

wym

[pure oar]

im just used to arrow keys

[surreal cradle]

I use wasd but mouse right click for dash and left click for attack

[vestal plume]

is there a ring dangling on a chain?

[polar jay]

i recommend trying to avoid all of the enemies on the final wave because frankly there is too much stuff going on in the screen and the orange map bug lady takes care of the bugs quite quickly. with a little bit of luck you should be good

[marsh gust]

10

[fair bison]

i signed up to play hollow knight, not getting over it in terms of difficulty

[pastel sparrow]

Worlds first? Youre gonna anger alot of god gamers here

[sly shadow]

I have WASD Attack as J and jump as K

[restive sapphire]

why do people use such weird keybinds for jump attack etc

[real spindle]

It is the hardest boss so far ngl, even harder than high halls gauntlet

[shadow sentinel]

Dont know what Harpoon and Needolin is yet so those might be bad binds

[fiery plaza]

THERES ANOTHER WAVE 🙁

[ionic fern]

What the fuck

[sullen briar]

evil ass keybinds wtf 😭

[misty lantern]

feast thine eyes with this monstrosity

[magic lodge]

I dont see any on youtube, and any other hitless runs have blue tools equipped such as barbed bracelet

[safe yew]

Honestly I tried the 1 damahe mod on a separate save file and it was just extremely boring double damage is infuriating sometimes but in terms of balancing its necessary

[plucky dew]

thanks, thought it would be 9 like regular hollow knight and was wondering why i didnt get the achievement

[late prawn]

I wonder if the regular deliveries also count as quests and I need to do each one at least once

[radiant light]

If the bugs out of range, odds are your supposed to access that bug from a different jump point

[polar jay]

the wave with the flying bug and the tall bug is the last one iirc thats the tough one

[earnest sonnet]

I thought space was for jump universally

[sullen briar]

ok nvm wtf is this

[shadow sentinel]

Jump as K with wasd is mental just use spacebar

[chrome sedge]

found the ring

[whole roost]

...there is no other jump point

[hearty rune]

this is so depressing

[sly shadow]

Needolin is like an E key for me tbh and I have harpoon on ;

[ornate egret]

Team Cherry had to balance some boss and enemy damage when Hollow Knight was released and it's turned out fine, they'll likely do the same now to strike a balance between what should have 1 damage and what should have 2 (and the very rare 3)

[hardy wyvern]

bro, it only got 2 attacks, and its a freaking boss! the minions are fair!

[surreal sinew]

help where is || bilewater|| map

[heavy knot]

It's not hard but it did kill me more than any other boss in the game somehow
I think I had my brain turned off or smth

[ionic fern]

Fr

[fiery plaza]

Okay this is good to know I’m like actually about to throw my switch into the ocean

[restive sapphire]

broo why does everyone have the weirdest keybinds
are these like not normal??

[vestal plume]

default binding ftw so i can short hop up slash

[ionic fern]

Same

[earnest sonnet]

For me left click is attack right click is sprint space for jump and wasd for movement

[real spindle]

I like putting my jump button beside my attack button, I use spacebar for Clawline

[fair bison]

the issue with ||savage beastfly|| is that his whole body is the hit box and ur needle is attack range is always too short no matter what ||crest|| you use

[sly shadow]

WHY MOUSE ATTACK

[hardy widget]

? what you mean
my left hand sits on the bottom row of my keyboard and my right hand sits on my numpad
all but the menuing keys are within reach at all times

[shadow sentinel]

????

[sullen briar]

this should be the default

[soft lake]

Pi na so mima ni
Se da na fun su low ba

[whole roost]

calm calm. you cant win if youre frustrated. take a 5 minute break

WHO USES MOUSE ATTACK WHAT

[surreal sinew]

and also how to talk to weaver mugnani or ||whatever||

Tips for Trobbio

What do you have Skill/tool as

[oblique night]

Game gets easier when you realize you can ||pogo half the enemies in the game||

[graceful cairn]

BUT THE MINIONS SUCKKKK. have you fought ||the one in far fields|| yet? cause that ones minions suck so much more

[restive sapphire]

i have r for bind because see im actually a pro speedrunner so i had quickcast bound to e and focus bound to r (i suck at speedrunning but you get hte point)

[sly shadow]

[chrome mason]

(SCREENSHOT OF A LATER GAME BOSS FROM THE TRAILER) So does anyone know how to activate this guy? I found his seemingly ||dead body|| up in the ||Sands of Karak|| and while playing the needolin did give me some text and glowing screen flavor text, it didn't do anything substantial. Is there any way to activate this guy before ||act 3||?

[vestal plume]

really tho, default binding is great because all one hand has to do is precise movement all the time

[trail raven]

WHO DOESNT???

[vapid roost]

ANYONE KNOW HOW MULTIBINDER interacts with Beast Crest??

[sullen briar]

nah

[fiery plaza]

Game so hard it’s got me doing my university readings instead 😭😭😭

[fair bison]

[sour nova]

How excactly do you “complete” the game

[misty lantern]

who tf uses mouse on a 2d game

[cedar pewter]

it doesn't because you can't equip it

[graceful cairn]

killed my cat

[hardy widget]

from what i read it doesnt

He is only activated in act 3

[sullen briar]

[vapid roost]

You can equip it guys.

[ionic fern]

How tf can people play with both hands on a kb 😭😭

[fair bison]

you cant use blue attachments on ||beast crest||

[candid dock]

Ur goated

[thin badger]

||It's locked behind act 3||

[pure oar]

wait people actually use the beast crest?

[spare tangle]

Question, are you meant to pogo the spikes to escape the ||lava chase|| section or did i do allat just to miss the intended path

[cedar pewter]

does anyone else think ||Phantom|| and ||Lace|| are a lot alike?

[polar stag]

Dark Souls 1 fans losing their minds over the Firelink Shrine elevator shortcut because of the "interconnected map" would absolutely silk themselves playing a metroidvania

[compact shoal]

@restive sapphire @ionic fern some goated keybindes I’m using lool

[vapid roost]

Spoilers. ||You get a blue and yellow crest permanently|| @hardy widget @cedar pewter @fair bison

[fair bison]

so no ||multibind|| on ||beast crest||

[glossy crystal]

not even close

[oblique night]

Hey at least nobody has met anyone using A DRAWING TABLET to play the game yet

[bold hedge]

So did you guys have to beat last judge twice as well? because of her last “attack” 🤠

[vestal plume]

nice speedrun

[pure oar]

i play maplestory which is forced to be arrow keys controls

[sly shadow]

i'm on this

[fair bison]

OH

[magic lodge]

ty, its the 3rd time I've no hit her now and it took probably 6 total hours for all of them

[sour nova]

How the hell did you get that screen

[vapid roost]

Yea. Oh is right.

[sullen briar]

if yall using both hands on keyboard something is wrong with you 😭

[trail raven]

right

[pure oar]

arrow keys are just comfy now

[sly shadow]

mf have you never learnt how to TYPE

[earnest sonnet]

Bruh what it's been 4h to me and I still at the beast

[pseudo wraith]

i have 100% i just need to beat lost lace again :D

[real spindle]

Im not, I fought the first beastfly fight with only 5 masks, Hunter Crest, unupgraded needle, no poison tools, basically nothing you could get after far fields and it was the most challenging fight in the game for me

[fallen oriole]

how get

[vapid roost]

still wondering how that shit interacts - if you lifesteal more with beast crest or what

[hardy wyvern]

i have fought both and it only took me 3 tries each
its seriously not that hard yall just need to git gud. i mean i just cannot stress enough that the boss only got 2, TWO FREAKIN ATTACKS AND YALL STILL COMPLAINING 😭

[sullen briar]

this is a game bro i aint writing an essay 😭

[spare tangle]

Hands don’t rest till the animation for a bug registered in the hunter’s journal appears

[misty lantern]

Something is indeed wrong with me but my keyboard is big enough to play on 🤷‍♂️

[late prawn]

I did lmao, still didn't have much trouble so I wasn't too annoyed

[glossy crystal]

whats the speedrun category where you die to the ||conductors melody ambush|| like 10 times

[graceful cairn]

does anybody actually use beast crest??? the pogo sucks way too much for it to be good at all

[candid dock]

k for jump is insane ngl

[vestal plume]

if people can do panth 5 on their keybinds, ill respect it

[polar jay]

assuming youre talking about beastfly 1, i dont think hes that hard and last judge was a lot harder personally

[hardy widget]

whatr was i pinged for in this i think im forgetting what i asked

[vapid roost]

Multibinder and beast crest

[lone plank]

🤑🤑:money_mout:

[sullen briar]

so is mine but mouse and keyboard is just better

[candid dock]

incredible dedication 🥹🥹

[vapid roost]

since beast doesn't have a blue slot

[sly shadow]

personal preference thing idk it's not that much different from space jump

[sullen briar]

sprint on scroll wheel what 😭

[graceful cairn]

man shut up you just got lucky

[safe yew]

And then you do the same thing when you get farther in the game
Continue the cycle

[late prawn]

You say that like we EVER had bosses doing kamikaze attacks in hollow knight, then I'd understand

[fair bison]

elden ring is from a game series/type known for being hard, hollow knight wasn't known for being hard

[hardy wyvern]

😔 i fought with the same conditions and it only took me 3 tries. it really wasn't that hard man

[fallen oriole]

how get

[real spindle]

You can get a blue slot vesticrest later in the game

[misty lantern]

holy fucking shit and I thought mine was bad

[nova raptor]

Tips for Trobbio?

[fair bison]

i think people just werent expecting silksong to be hard

[pseudo wraith]

goated and you cant convince me otherwise, i had like 12 attempts on a boss at most

[unreal lintel]

There’s a room underneath connected to the tall room on the right

[ebon pebble]

what the shit

[lone plank]

i play with my mouse ontop of my keyboard

[surreal cradle]

My keybinds drawn on cause I’m out rn lol

[hardy wyvern]

😔

[vapid roost]

ye that's my point; I'm wondering what beast crest does w/ it

[thin badger]

||hidden area above greymoor||

[sullen briar]

this has been the only normal one

[restive hearth]

different area entirely lol ||above greymoore||

[real spindle]

I prefer fights like Widow and Trobbio, they didnt take any longer than 3 tries

[surreal cradle]

The crossed out ones are ones I don’t have yet

[fair bison]

idk find out

[candid dock]

Usually jump is a key you would press with your left thumb

[restive sapphire]

lesgooo
btw am i a pro speedrunner my best time is 45 mins 😭 (for hollow knight)

[fallen oriole]

the mist??

[safe yew]

I think people thought it would be hollow knight hard

[thin badger]

Nope

[fallen oriole]

a DIFFERENT area above greymoor??

[wise geyser]

My hands are too small to play with a keyboard. I had to buy a controller specifically for HK.

[spare tangle]

do yoi guys like my keybinds

[restive hearth]

||above the left tower||

[polar stag]

It does baffle me that Dark Souls fans think an interconnected map with cool shortcuts is some revolutionary concept that other games don't replicate when the metroidvania genre has been doing it forever.

[sullen briar]

this is also good

[potent night]

HOW THJE ACTUAL FUCK DO YOU FIGHT BEASTFLY 2

[surreal cradle]

Thanks broski

[compact shoal]

Ur goated

[vestal plume]

hardest part playing hk into silksong is different move set

[restive sapphire]

WHY DOES EVERYONE USE THIS THIS IS SO CURSED

[ebon pebble]

so interesting seeing how other people do this

[hardy wyvern]

agreed. I personally am having a hard time understanding how everyone is finding savage beastfly so hard
it only have 2 attacks+minions for god's sake!

[safe yew]

Pray to a higher power (pape king)

[green nimbus]

Anyone knows what's the deal with the Chinese translation? I only saw that it was problematic but couldn't find more about the topic

[sullen briar]

dawg his are normal?? 😭

[safe yew]

[restive sapphire]

heh not to flex 🤓 but i also beat every boss radiant and i got every steam achievement

[graceful cairn]

why do you unironically use z and x

[thin badger]

Map location to get you there if you want but yeah another location above greymoor

[late prawn]

So did I? I don't think I even used tools AT all on it as I hadn't developed a habit of doing so atp, took me 2 tries. Second one also took 2 tries.

[fleet reef]

Perfectly normal reaction after reaching this point

[unreal lintel]

What are the two journal entries after shardillard?

[fair bison]

yeah i did. hk difficulty curve felt natural. sk just greets you by kicking your shit in

[fallen oriole]

this map is HUGE

[spare tangle]

easy and comfy

[restive sapphire]

THIS IS NORMAL (maybe attack on keyboard i can see)

[trail raven]

what yellow tools do yall use

[lunar shore]

yeah

[wicked charm]

oh hey I got it

[tardy prism]

GROAL MY BELOVED

[sly shadow]

Idk i feel like you have more control with K jump using a finger instead of your thumb

[soft lake]

Moss dude

[wide basin]

||Chat how do I get to act 3||

[magic bronze]

bell beast is top one character

[potent night]

do you guys not use controllers..

[compact shoal]

Ye nw not a flex I also have done those

[real spindle]

I find Last Judge a LOT easier since I have some action platformer background so finding safe zones during attacks is like second nature to me

[pulsar granite]

bad use spoilers

[fleet reef]

||finish all wishes including the fleas gathering||

[spare tangle]

no

[rugged heart]

I wasn't paying full attention when I did it but does anyone know what ||the second upgrade for hunter's crest is.||

[hardy widget]

to all the people saying "just use tools when its hard" brother im not even using tools that often and im actualy tool mat broke

[restive sapphire]

radd

[clear spoke]

I just want to say...please...put levers in the elevators. I don't know how many times I've entered one by mistake while running and had to wait the whole way to get back on, not just in this one, in all elevators of this type.

[wise geyser]

I'm not exactly good at platformers, and SS is definitely hard, but beating a boss is so satisfying.

[polar stag]

Ass wings

[ionic fern]

Its the default keybind

[soft lake]

How do I mark a message as spoiler?

[ebon pebble]

lmao exactly

[sullen briar]

this is basically mine but my tool is right click

[vestal plume]

the arena is the hardest part of him tbh

[hardy wyvern]

yknow i tried to play silksong with a controller and i couldnt get used to it. How do yall play platformers with a controller?

[lusty knoll]

probably wormways

[celest fossil]

I think the only wish i need to finish now is the nail upgrade that requires meatquest

[lunar shore]

i dare say i would have enjoyed that boss if there was a closer bench

[restive sapphire]

ohhh i see

[sly shadow]

was shift taken for sprint or smth?

[late prawn]

Do you enter the area from that connection to greymoor or is that one you create from wisp thicket?

[safe yew]

Imagine if the English version was entirely in old English
Thats the chinese translation

[spare tangle]

because its the same settings i used for hk minus the new stuff

[sullen briar]

he wasnt even that hard 😢

[lusty knoll]

massive universal W

[fallen oriole]

how get...

[graceful cairn]

this guy has caused a permanent effect on my mental and physical health

BILEWATER

[soft lake]

How do I mark a message as a spoiler?

[north granite]

Silksong - Were was an easy mode two mechanics I would implement would be:

• All damage that would deal more than two or more damage be reduced to one.
• When taking damage during a heal, your silk isn't depleted despite the failed attempt.

[ebon pebble]

no, my pinky just rests naturally on capslock so i set it to that

[spark marlin]

i hope they make a mod to remove ||maggot|| textures cuz i really cant stand them... nearly unplayable...

[restive hearth]

||ledge of the bellway below it||

[vagrant frigate]

Does Silksong have a World sense feature?

[spare tangle]

keyboard is honestly pretty good for hk

[real spindle]

Widow, Trobbio, and Last Judge are just like action platformer bosses, they focus more on finding safe zones during their attacks than the usual back-n-forth you expect from soulslikes

[fleet reef]

Classic

[sullen briar]

there is a secret room in the ||bell beast station||

[graceful cairn]

look behind the ||far fields bell beast ||

[safe yew]

They really aint bad enough to get a mod for them dawg

[hardy wyvern]

widow's fight was awesome ngl

[safe yew]

[lusty knoll]

bilewater is just the deepnest of silksong, aint too bad but it would be better if you didn’t need the double jump to unlock map

[velvet tangle]

who up shawing they git gud

[dapper dew]

anyone actually uses the barbed bracelet?

[restive sapphire]

fair enough, i was thinking of putting needolin on right click since its basically dreamnail and thats what i had on hk as my keybind, but needolin used so rarely i dont think its super necessary

also i have map as f5 only because my mouse side button is bound to f5 for minecraft 🤣

[vestal plume]

man no one loves the first sinner fight...

[sly shadow]

wait lmao it's actually just home row lmao shift it right by 1 and have like ESDF

[proper stone]

so far the best fight has to be first sinner

[ionic fern]

Me in boss fights

[safe yew]

I do its broken

[green nimbus]

Oh, so it's not necessarily a mistranslation but a bad choice of tone and vocabulary? Hm

[thin burrow]

I love that instead of just killing her Hornet fucking absorbs her

[compact shoal]

You guys were running back from the second bench right?

[pseudo wraith]

bait used to be believable

[dapper dew]

feels like the tradeoff is too steep

[graceful cairn]

i keep calling the ||bell beast|| a stag im too hk brained

[bold hedge]

I hate that green bush guy who jumps out of the floor

[muted echo]

I need help with ||last judge|| its so hard 😭

[thick steppe]

Radiant beastfly 😻

[lusty knoll]

i am not letting the bugs do 3 masks of damage vro (eh maybe its not that bad)

[tardy prism]

I really dug it. It took me a fair amount of tries but I loved the fast-pace nature of it. Kinda gave me NKG vibes

[sullen briar]

Is anyone excited for hollow knight: dark knight aka hollow knight 3?

Put these || on both sides of your message.

Don't disrespect deepnest like that
Bilewater is a pain because of the maggots and the guys with darts
Literally nothing in deepnest was actually that bad

[coarse leaf]

Please no

[lusty knoll]

fuh nah dawg 💔 🥀

[sullen briar]

I COULDNT FIND THE BENCH MAN but its ok i only died twice

[polar stag]

The trade off of the Bell Beast having no dialogue like the Stag is puppy

[vagrant frigate]

Is there a world sense in Silksong?

[coarse leaf]

That place is ass bc of the boss as well

[proper stone]

bilewater is the poison swamp to end all poison swamps

[wise geyser]

I think it's easier personally. Fewer buttons and they're closer together. I tried keyboard with HK and it was impossible.

[restive sapphire]

use the magma bell, and for some reasonn beacuise this is an amazingly designed boss you should only go for like 2 or 3 hits at a time and then dodge until next hit window

[velvet tangle]

nah we cooked when absolute savage beastfly comes

[fair bison]

i know im still hung up on this but i can't believe ||chef lugoli's|| ass does 2 damage.

[smoky nebula]

Yeah groal the great fucking sucks

[stone current]

beast fly in far fieldsbeastfly will makew me end it

[vestal plume]

deepnest is just dark, bilewater is just poison swamp from fromsoft

[muted echo]

What crests or tools are good for ||last judge||

[hardy wyvern]

HOrnet really was not having any of widow's bs

[dapper dew]

if you use barbed bracelet you're a god gamer

[spare tangle]

“That thing..your hollow knight..give it to me..”

Slave knight uhhh blel , hollow knight 3

[lilac haven]

is there some sort of secret im supposed to know about for the ||courier's rasher||? as it stands this legit doesn't even seem possible

[tardy prism]

Magma Bell

[sullen briar]

groal the great is an easy boss its just the run back is ass

[coarse leaf]

Magma bell

[ebon pebble]

i can't wait tbh

[celest fossil]

Better a sherma than a savage beastfly (the second one)

[vestal plume]

whatever you're most comfortable with

[late prawn]

Imagine trying to get Radiant groal

[lusty knoll]

what about those stupid bugs in distant village who are always bitchy and annoying and i don’t like them and they do that one attack that does 2 masks of damage and at this point in the game you’re probably like 4 areas in

[coarse leaf]

Fr

[graceful cairn]

i like the bell beast way more he feels so much more alive and silly

[vital saffron]

wheres the last crest? i have ||hunter, reaper, beast, wanderer, architect, witch||

[muted echo]

What abt offensive tools?

[smoky nebula]

||get silkspeed aglets||

[magic arch]

yo in the silksong reveal trailer at 0:23 theres this || coral area|| is it still in the game?

[soft lake]

That is a valid point..

Pi na so mima ni
Se da na fun su low ba

[restive sapphire]

DO PEOPLE ACTUALLY CALL IT SKONG 🤣

[ebon pebble]

the bosses so far have all been amazing imo, i just haven't enjoyed the timed platforming leading up to an arena tbh

[real spindle]

Kill all non respawning enemies on your route before doing the delivery, dont rest on a bench since that causes all enemies to respawn

[lilac haven]

cool. i have literally no idea what that is, so fair enough. ig im just not supposed to do it yet

[woeful steeple]

Peak

[open hollow]

Why was the final boss 10x easier than the judge

[smoky nebula]

Oh the devouts
They're just slow to kill if you're patient they shouldn't hit you

[full sun]

dude i swear to god i have every flea i can currently access im going actually cry

[spare tangle]

||Wisp thicket|| cuz there isn’t much and the enemies aren’t anything special compared to like every other area

[hardy wyvern]

FR! I Swear bro if i see another person calling Savage beastfly hard, imma go and do a no damage video JUST TO SPITE THEM!

[fair bison]

i do hope we get a boss rush type mode as dlc.

oh what a joy that will be

[lusty knoll]

oh yeah i got a route twin

-uhh
-uhhhhh
-oh yeah its uhh
-just run to the guy and dont take damage twin

[vestal plume]

be a gamer and use harpoon to skip enemies

[tardy prism]

Please I need a tutorial

[vital saffron]

i did it just fine, go from ||shellwood, blasted lands, grand gate, citadel spa, to the old man||

[ebon pebble]

savage beastfly, moorwing, last judge

[real spindle]

Its still really hard imo for that point in the game

[soft lake]

Yeah should be

[lusty knoll]

hate how much i forget that thing since its so cool while cloak and wings get all the muscle memory

[sullen briar]

basically yeah

[coarse leaf]

I don't know how that will work out in Silksong since Silksong bosses are really hard

[smoky nebula]

||It's a tool you get in one of the weavenests||

[fleet reef]

||Father of all flames took me 15 tries and I didn't know there was a bench there... so I hadda run back from the tavern...||

[sly shadow]

wait if garama is taunt was hornet just constantly calling the knight slurs while they were fighting or smth

[ebon pebble]

literally did moorwing first try and didn't remember their name so i was confused who everyonne was crying about

[magic arch]

did u visit it?

[graceful cairn]

i just wanna refight ||cogwork dancers|| man

[late prawn]

So is the arena, having to jump to attack him when half his moveset causes him to move TOWARDS you make it so he flies into you half the time.

[thorny cipher]

||has anyone got cross stitch yet? this shits so good holy moly||

[smoky nebula]

It's in plain sight...

[safe yew]

Yeah but its alot worse since chinese relies alot more on tone then English does so the entire game is really hard to read and entire sentences change meaning

[proper stone]

real af

[reef tiger]

those are actually really easy once you understand them

[full sun]

beastfly is only considered hard bc people are going there before getting dash and replaying the boss over and over until they beat it instead of leaving and coming back

[coarse leaf]

Yes

[vestal plume]

if you have enough silk stored, you can spam it for horizontal skips

[real spindle]

Reminds me of that stupid chef in sinner's road

[sullen briar]

just spam the little flying minions and he hella easy

[spare tangle]

||Father fire for me was like bed of chaos: cool design cool music cool lore but easy and awful bossfight ||

[fleet reef]

I took the left route before the right lol

I prefer either ||rune rage or pale nails||

[sullen briar]

guys when does silksong come out

[tardy prism]

Ass Jim???

[hushed hollow]

guys how do you enter the citadel and beat the last judge

[flat bronze]

What progress counts towards 100%?

[polar stag]

I really liked how old and wise the Last Stag felt. You feel like he's been around since the kingdom itself and he's the last sane denizen of Hallownest. I like Stag and Bell Beast equally, for different reasons

[pseudo wraith]

i like calling it skong
its funny :)

[smoky nebula]

5 days ago

[reef tiger]

september 10

[green nimbus]

Oh no...sounds unreasonable to fix it soon I suppose

[hardy wyvern]

damn, we both have the opposite preferences haha. like i tried the controller and it was so hard to move around and dash attack, etc. pogoing was also near impossible for me.
I may try that again tho, cuz it sounds fun hahah. What controls do you use? or are the regular controls ok?

[fair bison]

wait rly?

[ionic fern]

True

[restive sapphire]

i like it LOL

[vestal plume]

its just a better version of flukemarm lol

[drowsy badger]

Damn, silk song is so good

[stone current]

idk, last judge took me maybe 7 - 10 tries but the dam savage beastflies are so dam annoying

[compact shoal]

Yeah it’s too nice I got it when only 0.2% of players beat || phantom||

[open hollow]

Use silk needle to one shot the adds, the boss does still suck and it's rng on the number of spawns. Not sure why anyone acts like it's a fun fight when it's just annoying imo

[sullen briar]

that was yesterday

[ebon pebble]

that's not how tones work man, written chinese doesn't have an issue with that at all

[ruby forge]

finally i did it

[bronze reef]

if I'm looking for shakra in the ||mist||, should I be going left or up?

[reef tiger]

dataminers found a God's Glory mode hidden in the files. it's unimplemented though

[placid echo]

||i accidentally destroyed this statue in bone bottom, is there a way to bring it back?||

[late prawn]

I didnt have those, and I was stupid and didn't think to use ranged tools at all really until after like 8 attempts

[reef tiger]

no and why ;(((

[fair bison]

pffft

[hushed hollow]

no, like how do i enter the citadel area

[real spindle]

Controllers in general are overrated, keyboard has always offered more precise inputs and execution, and if you want to go a step further there are hitbox controllers that fighting game players like to use

[thorny cipher]

any tips for first sinner?

[bronze reef]

if I'm looking for shakra in the mist, should I be going left or up?

[faint tendon]

[sullen briar]

thats just a week away 🥹

[ruby forge]

my silk hurts

[hushed hollow]

idk how to enter it

[hardy wyvern]

Guess it's on! Imma go and get to savage beasfly (will have to start a new save unfortunately 😔 )

[vestal plume]

the greatest bait

[lusty knoll]

Its kinda funny whenever i see someone in this server complain about smt “savage beastfly” or “moorwing” for the 300th time and they’re like 3 attempt bosses with pretty annoying runbacks

that one boss in deep docks that you can fight after getting the harpoon is absolutely hell though

[tardy prism]

Yeah, agreed. Shit's so annoying. I beat both versions already but thanks for the advice, I'll keep it in mind for save file 2.

[polar stag]

Omg I can't wait. It's gonna be so good

[cedar pewter]

HOOOOOOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[drowsy badger]

She telegraphs moves big time. Gotta learn the move set and how to dodge, get 1-2 hits in between. If you kinda wanna cheese use the magma protection charm thing

[reef tiger]

keep dash striking her until she bears her claws, then run away

[vital saffron]

IKR

[ruby forge]

this thing kinda cute tho i wanna pet it

[graceful cairn]

i think the old stag had more of a tragic story which was really good and i like that but its nice to have something thats just a silly creature yknow

[ionic fern]

After beating her

[sullen briar]

are you fighting sherma who tf is that 😭

[soft lake]

Not yet, but I do know it's in onr of the acts

[open hollow]

||She doesn't exist, theres a trick to finding the path, I won't spoil though||

oh beans i thought the lava race in far fields was hard. I would like to sincerely apologize ||thanks abyss||

[hardy wyvern]

I DONT CARE! >:(
i had the same arsenal as all of ya, tis no excuse!

[wise geyser]

I have an Xbox controller. I just use the default settings.

[tardy prism]

Godspeed bro, might as well do a hitless vid for every boss

[thorny cipher]

and now u have the best skill in the game

[fair bison]

can you believe it guys? silksong is in a week! i am so excited about this information

[nocturne sluice]

terrible news, you won’t be finding her there. ||navigating through the mist relies off a particular gimmick, not a map||

[hushed hollow]

where is the last judge

[flat bronze]

the fact that they put a paid bench in the middle of all that 😭 i had 88 rosaries and was so seething

[bold hedge]

Oh wow using beast crest??

[polar stag]

Yeah Bell Beast is puppy

[cedar pewter]

THE PHANTOM

[velvet tangle]

i wonder if theres gonna be like a hollow knight voidheart edition for silksong

[ruby forge]

this MIIIIIIGHT be the radiance 😭

[tardy prism]

Who's gonna tell bro?

[hushed hollow]

idk how to find her

[lusty knoll]

what could this be referring to i inquire

[ionic fern]

Blasted steps left of shellwood bell station

[fleet reef]

There is ||no mist map, it's a part of sinner's road||

[timber sand]

I'm so glad I found hell water once and then forgot how to enter

NEVER. AGAIN.

[ebon pebble]

smth or other brothers? yeah i haven't beaten them yet, didn't bother bc i didn't think they were important yet lol

[graceful cairn]

unironically the easiest boss ngl

[safe yew]

Entirely misunderstood what I said I was saying the choice of words matter alot more then in English

[ruby forge]

thank god i was loaded with rosaries that are UNFORUNATELY all gone

[sullen briar]

the phantom is such a good boss man 🥹

[cedar pewter]

yeah it's pretty funny i like the moveset and the noises hornet makes

[vapid moss]

THE SHERMA SONG IS STUCK IN MY HEAD HELP 😭 😭

[real spindle]

It's the only boss that took me 40 minutes when pretty much every other one went down in 1-5 attempts

[reef tiger]

it is a separate area internally

[buoyant oasis]

/sp

[bronze reef]

hm maybe the white lady means I went the wrong way?

[whole roost]

hey guys you can break the heat sources on the ascent to double jump

[fair bison]

sherma is adorable

[hushed hollow]

alr thanks

[polar stag]

The music and atmosphere of Blasted Steps was so good

[compact shoal]

Ur in for hell if you think this was radiance

[spare tangle]

Back in my day we called cheese actually cheesing tactics like the off platform old dragon slayer kill in ds2,why do people call anything that helps you in a fight cheese nowadays💔

[crystal cloak]

||guarana||

[buoyant oasis]

||am I supposed to get the silk and soul quest BEFORE or AFTER fighting grandmother silk>||

[safe yew]

These are so damn good

[late prawn]

Wait, there's another room like the rising lava one in far fields, ur kidding right, that room was the worst thing I've done in the game so far.

[reef tiger]

||it has nothing to do with them||

[nocturne sluice]

this boss was actual peak i know i keep saying that but i really mean it phantom was SUCH a fun boss

[cedar pewter]

no you're wrong she actually has the legendary power of making me feel stupid for not being able to dodge simple attacks

[bronze reef]

damn

[crystal cloak]

i havent had it yet but ss makes me want to try it now

[graceful cairn]

use the ||needolin to the butterflies||

[fleet reef]

||Either works, as you can load the save again to redo the fight||

[lime kite]

Do I need double jump to get to sling shot tool in bile water

[faint tendon]

[ebon pebble]

ah mb, ig i've seen so many people talking absolute nonsense abt chinese because they don't understand how the language works lol. i do speak mandarin though, i don't actually think the choice of works is that different

[safe yew]

Imagine a Canada dry but more refreshing and a little fruity

[sullen briar]

can someone show me their rosarie farming spot 🙏

[late prawn]

So in other words, ur SUPPOSED to do it before

[drowsy badger]

Because there is really no purpose in making such an easy fight easier with a very specific charm

It’s cheesy and just cope for not learning a move set

[hardy wyvern]

savage beastlfies only flies from right and left tho? i would argue its not that annoying but fair i guess.
im not saying annoying tho, im saying the people who say that savage beastfly is on the level of NKG, i hate that

[cedar pewter]

and i do love that "press f to parry at the end", just out of nowhere

[lusty knoll]

gotta love how this game makes you feel like the world’s against you

especially confessionary booth

[buoyant oasis]

||I heard I can find a map of the fleas in the cradle, where is it? I think its all I have left||

[crystal cloak]

where do i fight ||absolute radiance||

[graceful cairn]

so real. thats why it took me two tries to beat her instead of one 💔

[flat bronze]

||bilewater's|| final gauntlet has such a horrible runback, and the gauntlet itself is kinda ass too

[ionic fern]

Gross mott

[fleet reef]

||Putrified ducts||

[buoyant oasis]

||ive done every community board quest and the tastes of pharloom quest||

[sullen briar]

you have to beat celeste first

[vital saffron]

do you have the ||maggot repel charm? it makes it 10x easier||

[spare tangle]

I think the ||last judge ||is quite hard honestly, compred to the rest

Not extremely hard or something like that but definitely harder than the other bosses imo

[ionic fern]

Gross motto

[wild latch]

I BEAT GROUL!!

[buoyant oasis]

||give me a hint on the direction, pale ash?||

[lusty knoll]

double jump is needed for the map in bilewater so uhh probably idk

[glossy crypt]

idk man been looking for that for days

[real spindle]

The problem is that it can decide to be very erratic if it wants, your movement is already very limited by the beastfly itself, but then you toss in adds that force you in different positions and suddenly the beastfly becomes unavoidable

[cedar pewter]

it took me like, 10 tries because im so distracted by how cool she is

[safe yew]

You might be righ I might be entirely wrong i just barely started learning like a month ago lmao

[ebon pebble]

basically anywhere in act 2 tbh

[hardy wyvern]

true lol. I actually mainly use keyboard cuz thats what i have grown up with (playing mega man x3 since i was 6yo)

[rose mist]

after you get harpoon theres a mask shard in farfields waiting for you near the weaver door. i thought the lava rising race was hard at the time. but that didnt require double jump or harpoon or super hop to beat really.

there is a second rising lava race

[graceful cairn]

nkg is easier ngl cause theres no jank with minions. you can just learn him

[reef tiger]

use dreamnail on GSM

[pseudo wraith]

i love the true ending so much :)

[sullen briar]

i am in act 3 and everything is dangerous so i will pass

[zinc edge]

Anyone else find the constant super long enemy gauntlets with overly obnoxious runbacks to make the game just straight up not fun any time they show up?

[stone current]

ya, hes 100% a ez boss but these snipers of bugs he has when u fight the second one are so annoying to me, im having trouble getting close to them without getting sniped or them backing up further

[fallen oriole]

ngl... how get.

[fleet reef]

||there's an npc flea there, I forgot where they were but I think it wasn't the pale cave||

[ruby forge]

no i was joking but i already know im in hell thanks

[crystal cloak]

||last judge|| is made difficult only because of that little bird at the start of the runback that shoots cones at you

[vital saffron]

||right of memorium, above bile water||

[ebon pebble]

yeah fair enough. what was the discussion about abt translation though? i haven't heard anything abt the chinese localisation yet

[spare tangle]

Generational take c’mon he is NOT harder than NGK😭

[polar jay]

oh yeah last judge was also harder cause i had the spiked bracelet. very fun boss though

[flat bronze]

No, where can i find it?

[late prawn]

I wish I had that charm when I fought groal, when I found the charm later, I got pissed

[sullen briar]

go look 🥹

[lusty knoll]

ngl thought it was about you finding an even harder section (required parkour sections in this game are crazy)

[maiden copper]

how big is act 3 compared to the ones before it

[vital saffron]

||puridated ducts||

[sly shadow]

being able to just hold S to pogo instead of trying to microadjust and aim your pogo left and right with a thumbstick is a godsend

[buoyant oasis]

||do I need to defeat the shaman frog to access the area||

[hardy wyvern]

I have seen those fighting game controllers but im honestly not a fan, i dont like them

[cedar pewter]

also is there a map for The Mist? i'd assume not because of the nature of the area but im curious if anyone found one

[velvet tangle]

bro the fleas are adorable

[fallen oriole]

i looked from every angle...............

[thorny cipher]

theres a 3rd act??

[modest palm]

Yoooo guys I just beat HK, I'm gonna start Silskong now, any advice?

[rose mist]

oh no it super is about finding a harder parkour section

[graceful cairn]

well this may be biased cause i know nkg better than like any boss ive ever fought

[drowsy badger]

People aren’t using tools or their skills and are losing it. Game is really not that bad once you use all the things it provides

[crystal cloak]

im gonna beat the game before i try johnny twomove boss fight again

[maiden copper]

yup

[velvet tangle]

no you didnt

[sullen briar]

think outside the box

[lusty knoll]

cog place or mount fay

[fair bison]

the only mods ima download after getting all endings is a mod for infinite shards and a mod that allows me to unlock items so that I can do a "new game plus-esque" run. no progression items or abilites, just all ||crests, and tools, attachments||

[pseudo wraith]

act 3 has tons of new bosses and stuff and changes the map a bit, also makes normal enemies like 3x worse

[flat bronze]

Oh haven't found that area yet lmao, i'll go for it next, kinda want to take a break from that horrible gauntlet as well

[graceful cairn]

did him radiant too

[fleet reef]

||You can also summons 5 cogfly during it's introduction phase so it went instantly into phase 2||

[vestal plume]

congrats on beating the tutorial

[real spindle]

Never dared to try them either but luckily you could configure the keyboard to be about the same thing

[cedar pewter]

pretty sure there's a breakable wall outside of the wormways that leads there

[maiden copper]

how much is tons

[safe yew]

Oh yeah if you go through the negative reviews almost all of them that arent about the game being hard are about how the chinese translation was really bad

[crystal cloak]

start early while the energy's fresh and prepare yourself for death

[sullen briar]

can someone show me what to do with the little crying fucker

[modest palm]

thanks🧀🧀

[quasi dock]

Knockback never heard of her
<against some bosses>

[pseudo wraith]

i think at least a quarter of the games bosses are act 3, and theyre all super cool

[nova trout]

||are all the hearts able to get as soon as the quest is given or is there more to do? dont say what though if there is||

[vestal plume]

||grey root lady||

[modest palm]

🙏🙏**

[ionic fern]

Im gonna dwld a boss refight mod and shards

[ebon pebble]

exactly, i'm watching people fight bosses with unupgraded needle and not using any abilities and then complain the game's hard. no shit man

[sullen briar]

idk who that is

[tardy prism]

🍞

[ruby forge]

what does this guy even do and why is he at the edge of the world

[hardy wyvern]

:O i see! I have got a ps4 controller, but imma leave it on default settings as well. Thank you! any tips tho? LOL sorry if i am asking too many questions, im just really not used to controllers

[compact shoal]

|| Go to the npc that had you collect purple polips in shell wood ||

[pure oar]

bilewater isnt as bad as everyone says

[thorny cipher]

like infected crossroads but everywhere?

[sly estuary]

Whoever they outsourced the translation to did a really bad job apparently 😭

[crystal cloak]

the bosses are really fun but i honestly have more difficulty in the gank rooms

[fleet reef]

||delivery quest later on||

[remote ibex]

||makes masks||

[pseudo wraith]

yeah...

[flat bronze]

do you guys know of any good rosary farming spots in the late game?

[graceful cairn]

get ready for the worst enemy gauntlets known to man

[vestal plume]

there's an npc in shellwood ||you do the polip heart quest||

[strong trench]

He’s the mask maker

[sullen briar]

if you have 10000 rosaries he actually takes them all and then you fight to get them back

[hardy wyvern]

:J guess i have to huh?

[thorny cipher]

bros making masks man

[drowsy badger]

Use tools

[nocturne sluice]

anyways time to go fight for my life to do couriers rasher. this will probably take a few attempts because the moment i’m trying not to get hit, i get hit in the dumbest ways

[remote ibex]

how late game

[split cape]

Where is he at the edge of the kingdom?

[crystal cloak]

yEP

[ruby forge]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[iron cedar]

help , name song

[fair bison]

how long until someone mods ghost into sk

[sullen briar]

oh that one ok

[flat bronze]

Act 2

[pure oar]

apparently they not only did a bad job but they also broke nda and leaked things

[crystal cloak]

i forgot that i have tools, ive been playing the game like i did hollow knight

[safe yew]

His name explains what he does pretty well
Not sure why hes at the edge of the world though probably just a weirdo like the character in hollow knight

[rose mist]

this second rising lava race compared to the first feels like comparing path o pain to the spike jumps grub in crossroads

[ruby forge]

left side at the edge of the ||snowy mountain thing||

[fleet reef]

The route is absolutely horrid with only 3 margin of errors

[remote ibex]

||top of citadel the big guys theres like 5 across the top, each drops 32||

[late prawn]

This mf just said beastfly harder than nkg, my lord, bro, beastfly kills his own minions half the time, the other half they are free silk, you can't be deadass

[tardy prism]

You'll have your own compilation of radiant bosses before the boss rush dlc even comes out lol

[wraith python]

I just beat ||Trobbio after 3 tries||

[crystal cloak]

which you can also do, just follow hornet & cranky's advice

[lusty knoll]

theres a second one? dam

[ebon pebble]

really, i hadn't seen that. maybe i could help fix it 😂

[rose mist]

flower quest

[sullen briar]

no you didnt

[bitter tartan]

NOOOOO
why do we have to fight ||second sentinel||
||why must everyone i like die T.T||

[hardy wyvern]

AGREED! like use all your traps and tools and skills! it makes the game sooooo much easier. Also poison traps are OP, love them

[lone plank]

why is first sinner just an overpowered widow

[flat bronze]

farming those guys is a pain, but i guess they're the best choice for now

[real spindle]

Cant believe killing those guys are just simply more efficient than taking on the deliveries from the bellhart couriers

[tardy prism]

Quite a take there chum, ngl

[kind leaf]

well

[graceful cairn]

yeah well ngk is more consistent is my point

[pseudo wraith]

i think people struggling with beastfly is a skill issue

[split cape]

|| I wanted to make a joke about kingdoms edge but thanks for the help ||

[vital saffron]

because ||you make silk||

[pure oar]

is this all the areas of the map or am i missing one?

[pseudo wraith]

well he doesnt really die

[glossy plank]

||you smell too silky to be left alive||

[lusty knoll]

wheres this take place in the game

[rose mist]

and its storyline mandated too

[fickle wasp]

This indicates that there are ||Pale Beings||

[proper stone]

its so much more fun than widow tho cuz of the faster pace

[queen marsh]

How do I get to the spot to the right of songclave?

[wraith python]

Suprisingly ||hes easier than the cogwork dancers||

[sly shadow]

omfg i hate the one way shortcuts man

[pseudo wraith]

2 but theyre act 3

[sullen briar]

you are missing 1 area but its act 3 so

[vestal plume]

for those that are struggling with delicate flower 2.0, use your harpoon

[crystal cloak]

ok im gonna say something controversial, bosses with minions always reduce an original fun score by at least 3 on a ten scale

[safe yew]

Dawg you dont gotta spoiler pale beings 😭😭

[ruby forge]

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

[whole roost]

im going to be honest, the ascent is awful

[drowsy badger]

I bet you use magic and summons when you play dark souls

[pure oar]

thank you

[drowsy ermine]

||you miss entire act 3 and clover location||

[vital saffron]

||go to the left of the pinstress, theres something else in moss grotto||

[crystal cloak]

except for collector where thats the gimmick

[graceful cairn]

THIS

[real spindle]

They should make the rewards for bellhart deliveries better cause there is literally no reason to do them when they 3 big guys outside songclave is simply more efficient

[sullen briar]

anything is easier than cogwork dancers 😢 but goodjob man

[late prawn]

Didn't have those at the time either lmao, ended up going in with just straight pin and sting shard and using them periodically since going in close with groal is basically a gamble everytime you do it

[rose mist]

you are missing a weavernest and act3's ||abyss|| and ||verdania||

[pseudo wraith]

wait do you have wisp thicket?

[graceful cairn]

yeah and you can just fireball them all anyway

[hardy wyvern]

its not that hard yall cmon. it can be erratic BUT even if it is about to hit you, if you do a pogo (hunter crest), you get i-frames and save yourself that way. there are countless ways to deal with savage beastly

[rose mist]

😉

[ruby forge]

is there people who worship the radiance in pharloom?

[broken oracle]

Kind of confused why silksong is very positive but not overwhelmingly positive on steam

[fleet reef]

Bro just floats down every single time 🥀

[sullen briar]

DAWG THE BEST BOSS IS SHRINE GUARDIAN SETH AND THATS ON MY KIDS

[late prawn]

Beastfly has 2 moves my guy

[nocturne sluice]

i’m jealous of you, ||trobbio|| took me way too many tries because ||i suck but also because there’s so much going on on the screen with all the fireworks i kept getting overwhelmed and losing track of what the fuck was happening|| LMAOO. good job though

[ebon pebble]

depends on the boss and the minions tbh, but yeah mostly agree

[late prawn]

Real shit

[sullen briar]

how many attempts did it take you for cogwork dancers?

[placid ether]

Does anyone know if this shit works

[pseudo wraith]

i cheesed him by smashing his face into the floor and getting him stuck

[limber wedge]

man why are these damn boss fights back to back to back

[graceful cairn]

beastfly himself is easy i just hate the minions shooting fire on my very limited platforms

[hushed hollow]

chat can yall help me how do i enter blasted steps

[fickle wasp]

Yes i do

[ebon pebble]

harpoon into enemies and steal their money probably

[safe yew]

Hes lying dw

[shadow haven]

is there bellway in hunter's march

[hushed hollow]

cuz the gate is closed and idk how to open it 😭

[reef tiger]

increases rosary drops but drops your rosaries when you get hit wait nvm i got confused

[hoary bough]

what a great game bro

[vestal plume]

||shellwood||

[pseudo wraith]

@sullen briar ||https://medal.tv/games/hollow-knight-silksong/clips/l3HZq4IPjQoH0ODDS?invite=cr-MSw4Q3MsMjc5NTcxNTU5&v=30||

[sullen briar]

his shield went out of bounds and he softlocked me twice 😁

[fleet reef]

Especially when hunter's crest gives u i-frame on downward slash hit

[placid ether]

that's another one

[hushed hollow]

ik

[thorny cipher]

what is hunters march? im in act 2 and dont have that on my map

[wraith python]

Yeah i was thrown off at first, but then I remembered, I play Touhou so bs projectiles are normal to me

[reef tiger]

yeah mb

[shadow haven]

does anyone know?

[dense shale]

WHO THE HELL THOUGHT THAT THIS ROOM WAS A GOOD IDEA WHATTT WHY IS IT LIKE 10 GODDAMN WAVES..

[graceful cairn]

bro...

[reef tiger]

next to the marrow

[restive sapphire]

bro anyone else hate the fact that saws deal double damage for no reason

[safe yew]

Not too many

[vestal plume]

this man really got to act 2 without dealing with the ants and 45 degrees pogo nightmare

[sullen briar]

you is not surviving a day in the ||coral palace||

[real spindle]

I like that more bosses in silksong focus on safe zone attacks rather than simple back n forth movesets

[whole roost]

how the heck am i going to be able to get this freaking double jump, its so freaking hard

[hardy wyvern]

btw a good trick to quickly dispose of those enemies is to use your tools, especially with poison. I personally quickly unload a couple of poison pins on the minions as soon as they spawn and then pogo over the beastfly (cuz lets be real, its probably charging at you while you shoot the pins), and then slash the minion one more time and its down

[sullen briar]

who is jim 😭 but i first tried cogwork dancers so idk mann

[lusty knoll]

over exaggerated difficulty land

[pseudo wraith]

YEAAAAAAHHHHH

[pure oar]

nice

[graceful cairn]

remember to use your hook thing a lot

[rose mist]

don;t worry, youre allowed two hits of damage or dashing into a wall this time

[nocturne sluice]

ass jim 😭 still haven’t beaten ass jim because i tried a few times and went “hell no” and decided to come back later when i was in a better mood LMAO

[versed jackal]

this is exactly why last judge is one of my favourites, same with fourth chorus and cogwork dancers
the bosses feel like they really test your movement skills

[lusty knoll]

been playing skong for 4 days of straight peak, easily game of the year

[thorny cipher]

now do it again in steel soul

[reef tiger]

insane but congrats

[chrome glacier]

You can increase thread storm damage by 50% if you spam the button. From 5 hits become 10 hits (1st - 5th hit 20% motion value per hit, 6th - 10th hit 10% motion value per hit)
So 1-5th hit: 13 damage
6th-10 hit: 6 damage
total 95 damage

Wanderer crit chance is 2% for 300% damage multiplier

Architect normal attack is 3 hits from what I've tested, at nail level 4 should be 15, 2, 2 (19 like in your post) and charge attack has 7 hits.

[subtle lichen]

Man those dancer guys gay as hell

[whole roost]

it doesnt attach when i need it to, which is one of the two main problems im having

[late prawn]

He floats down when he wants to do the suck attack, that's the issue, his movement pattern changes with EVERY attack he does, he moves more sporadically when he starts the glowy projectile attack too

[lost apex]

Did the place without even having a dash/sprint 💔

[wraith python]

Yeah patience is very rewarding in this game

[subtle lichen]

Will say the bosses in this game are fun ASF and great to fight

[steady pumice]

act 2 ||guys is trobbio optional this guy is insanely difficult to deal with lmao||?

[hoary bough]

same bro i just did act 3 ending and man am i feeling the feels right now

[queen marsh]

How does one get this flea

[safe yew]

How could you forget ass jim? Hes the best character

[fierce gulch]

everything does double damage in this fucking game

[lusty knoll]

WE did the place without dash/spri- oh wait actually i didnt nvm twin

[pseudo wraith]

hes required

[subtle lichen]

What I personally don't enjoy is the runbacks

[real spindle]

Last Judge, Widow, and Trobbio feel like bosses you'd actually see in a 2D action platformer

[fleet reef]

WOW, I am going to hate him on steel soul lol

[rose mist]

required fight

[reef tiger]

probably go up in that cutoff hallway

[tawdry wraith]

the boss ||Seth in act 3 was made with the help of a child who was terminally ill his name is Seth Goldman||

[versed jackal]

FR
AND WIDOW WAS GREAT TOO

[hardy wyvern]

true, tho doing ⬅️ ↙️ ⬇️ ↘️ ➡️ input is kinda hard with keyboard ngl, far easier to do this on joysticks

[pseudo wraith]

i was so happy when i found him

[ruby forge]

wow thats awesome

[sullen briar]

oh that guy 😡

[queen marsh]

Tried

[thorny cipher]

just play really patient, onlt beat him this morning took a while

[safe yew]

Honestly I really should've done that be was so damn annoying 💔💔

[reef tiger]

to what result

[lost apex]

I am cracked at ts game fr

[craggy meteor]

Act 2 spoiler: Unfun fact: You can actually overdose on blue masks...

[versed jackal]

ive heard people had trouble with last judge but I beat her on like my 4th try 😭

[sullen briar]

why did you die 25 times to him tho..

[rose mist]

team cherry is very chariable yes

[queen marsh]

Hitting every wall and ceiling and fail

[pseudo wraith]

these 4 are gonna be so buns

[versed jackal]

idek how honestly

[hoary bough]

truly

[fair bison]

yo anyone got tips for the flying bus in ||putrified ducts||

[hardy wyvern]

LOL, will probably take a whole lot of time and practice tho, cuz im not gonna lie, some bosses like trobbio ARE really hard

[woven spade]

|| I KILLED PHANTOM FIRST THEN LAST JUDGE. WHERE IS SHERMA??? SHE NO LONGER NEAT BENCH WHEN I WAS FIGHTING LAST JUDGE ||

[lusty knoll]

steel soul mode might be harder than dark souls idk never played either one before

[fair bison]

these little fucks annoying af

[nocturne sluice]

i die to everything at least 20 times personally . it’s a rite of passage, as someone with a skill issue

[real spindle]

Guilty Gear Strive requiring you to do ➡️↘️⬇️↙️⬅️➡️ + HS for almost every character 🙂

[tardy prism]

I feel you on that lmaoo

[pure oar]

this helps with qol for that

[placid ether]

Can you upgrade every crest or only hunter's?

[hardy wyvern]

LOL true! im glad to be a pc player haha

[graceful cairn]

dark souls aint even that bad man base silksong is worse

[lost apex]

Wdym ass Jim is hard

[safe yew]

Shes know her own pilgrimage shes not gonna stay in one place long (||hot springs||)

[fair bison]

i will never get over the fact this guy's ass does 2 damage to you.

[sullen briar]

if you uninstall the game it will actually make your computer run faster so you can hjave a better chance at beating them

[restive sapphire]

really? Some guy on youtube already got a 1 hour and 45 minute any% run

[safe yew]

Guilty gear mentioned ??

[lost apex]

Damn that shit fat

[nocturne sluice]

this isn’t true btw there’s at least 5 easy bosses so far i’ve done first try . but on everyone else ermmmm no comment

[real spindle]

Its the maggot bouncing on the walls that always gets me

[woven spade]

I will find these hot springs

[bronze reef]

ok I'm stumped. what do I do after getting the elevator to fall?

[lusty knoll]

base silksong got a 50 hour tutorial

[pseudo wraith]

i need an animation of ass jim jumping from the top ropes onto hornet

[fair bison]

like hornet is INSULTINGLY WEAK

[sullen briar]

you dont

[lone plank]

first sinner telefrags you waytoo much

[brisk dome]

steel heart might be harder than any souls game ive played so far

[pure oar]

did you bench?

[potent night]

just..go up??

[hardy wyvern]

😭 rip my keyboard and fingers if i ever attempt that
I was really into tekken 7's armour king and his one throw was so hard, i cant do stuff liekt that man 😭

[hoary creek]

Am I the only one who thinks they may have gone a little overboard with the ||conductor/high halls gauntlet||?

[muted echo]

I’m actually so done with judge, you have zero time to dodge its attacks

[bronze reef]

yea

[graceful cairn]

go up the shaft and find the boss in there

[sullen briar]

the fire lamp thing

[hoary bough]

i do NOT wanna suffer trying to do that yet

[abstract lodge]

||I can't believe I beat Savage Beastfly today, then beat it again for my older brother||

[crude loom]

Steel Soul gonna be so damn impossible in Silksong. There will probably only be 10 people that can beat that 💀

[pure oar]

elevator drop is just unlocking a shortcut

[wraith python]

Yeah this is pretty useful but that shop is insane cause there are 2 things there that imo are more important to get first than the grip

[safe yew]

I recommend it its one of my favorite moments in the game

[nocturne sluice]

to be fair, if someone with an ass twice the size of your entire body sat on you, you’d probably be experiencing double damage as well

[hoary creek]

I feel like they can tune that gauntlet down a little at least

[fair bison]

like a sword, sharp teeth, claws, projectiles i can all understand.

BUT A RANDOM GUYS ASS?! HORNET WAS BORN WITH GLASS BONES AND PAPER SKIN

[zinc ginkgo]

Last Judge more like Last Denier
