[green dagger]

It's my favourite one! :3

[frank seal]

i dont even agree thats why i put it in quotations

my opinion is that none of the crests are a "crutch"

[past cypress]

where do i go to get the true ending in silksong ive beaten up to trobbio and gotten 3 nail upgrades idk where to go

[mossy sparrow]

Ty

[maiden turtle]

Agree

[tacit sentinel]

You don't need range. Just get close to bosses

[quaint sentinel]

(major act 3 spoiler) ||did the shamans just get vaporized ||

[vital saffron]

architect is fine but with poison shell and cogflies it becomes a crutch

[simple crown]

activate windows gnagn

[limpid condor]

Wait the bind isn't only there?? whattt

[plain bloom]

❤️

[upbeat ruin]

can i do it even after i defeated the original first sinner and am in act 3

[elfin timber]

ah

[vital saffron]

the architect crest by itself is not a crutch

[green dagger]

That's for nuvs

[dull cape]

things are crutches if they are used as crutches, leaning on them constantly. better to use all the tools and decide how to get the most fun out of variety and also the most success. I can think of bosses that are awful for each crest

[magic ruin]

Once I picked it up I never looked back

[daring dew]

Eh range is like the most important thing in silksong for most enemies/bosses, especially flying enemies, which is like half of them. This time around, quickslash is only worthwhile on the big tanky enemies that stand still long enough for you to go ham on them.

[prisma plaza]

i used the god home mod to tp to it

[timid plinth]

why is reaper a crutch crest

[frank seal]

no build is a crutch and you're lowkey annoying if you call anything a crutch

[solid fern]

Yes, they ended up like every other shaman we've seen other than one in forgotten crossroads, what did they as a species do to deserve this 😭 😭 😭

[tacit sentinel]

Architect spammers complaining why Karmelita was so easy 🗣️

[plain bloom]

i literally played with all the crests I have access too and then go back to the things that work for me... how is that a "crutch"?

[vital saffron]

WHAT THERE IS

[prisma plaza]

yes

[signal pagoda]

Reaper is so bad bro has such an inconsistent attack pattern, the pogo is so slow, most people barely get any value out of silk orbs

[dull cape]

i said that things are crutches if they are used as crutches

[timid plinth]

reaper crest isnt a crutch when it sucks

[upbeat ruin]

so they do respawn if i already defeated them and get the mod?

[maiden turtle]

oh lmao I thought it was actually|| the first sinner|| lol

[solid fern]

Yup when I first learned about I was shook honestly

[deep moon]

will 1 fractured mask save you from one gma silk cobweb attack or no since its 3 separate instances of damage instead of 3 at once

[prisma plaza]

yes

[alpine vortex]

THE STUPID MOSQUITOES ARE SO ANNOYING IM BETTER OF JUST RUNNING BUT THERES LIKE 30 AND THEY FOLLOW YOU SCROSS THE PARKOUR YOU HAVE TO DO IF YOU WANNA GET OUT, AND EVERY JUMP OF SAID PARKOUR HAS THE STUPID TOUNGE THINGS AND LETS ADD A FEW MASSIVE MOSS CHARGERS IN THERE BECAUSE WHY NOT

[candid crown]

Why say spammers? Its legit shaman for people who dont like silk skills

[nimble raptor]

that's why you play wanderer crest

[peak vapor]

visiting the memory areas are giving me a lot of sadness due to how beautiful they once were….

[tacit sentinel]

I beat the whole game with wanderer. You just gotta git gud at spacing

[vagrant fog]

Ok just did it not as bad as i thought since i remembered the path on the outside

[vital saffron]

those are the downsides but you can get your full silk spool back if you loop it correctly

[wraith rapids]

so much fleas

[limpid condor]

I need to see this bro 😭

[signal pagoda]

The range is very bad its for skilled people

[magic ruin]

AWOO

[upbeat ruin]

it’s just an unnecessary risk collecting them where you focus more on them than the boss

[solid fern]

Honestly FUCK the pale beings

[plain bloom]

ok, I could either stress out about people who cap on the way I play the game, or I change what I stress over, and it won't be others caping on how I play the game.

-serenity gained

[nimble raptor]

longclaw

[quaint sentinel]

they fr always get the worst turnout dawg😭 ig thats what they get for meddling with void and soul so recklessly

[past cypress]

is there a god home or pantheon in silksong like there is in hollowknight

[tacit sentinel]

You've succesfully ragebaited yourself

[unborn heath]

Not really since the range on the lateral swings are abysmal

[short hawk]

you can attack the tongues of the grabber things to make them go away for a bit

[signal pagoda]

Even then i like to have 2 tools 🥀

[sour sail]

we NEED MARKETABLE PLUSHIES

[tacit sentinel]

Not yet ❌

[gleaming idol]

cogflies:

[daring dew]

I feel like reaper is so bad, it doesnt have as good range as Hunter crest, but it's also slow asf, it also knocks enmies away from you, what is even the point of it

[frank seal]

wanderer + longclaw feels about the same range as base reaper

[alpine vortex]

I know that, but I’m also trying to run from the 8 mosquitoes chasing me

[wraith rapids]

why did the fat flea become evil for 50 seconds

[spare tide]

WHY WON'T FIRST SINNER DIE ITS BEEN 20 MINUTES

[past cypress]

was that a dlc in hollowknight? the pantheons and godhomes?

[green dagger]

Also I beat Karmelita with no tools cause I forgot to put them on the bench and I was like: Naaah, I don't wanna lose 1 min to go to bench

[tacit sentinel]

Give me bell beast and Big Flea plushy NOW

[upbeat ruin]

did you dupe your save or playing on your original, wondering if it alters the gameplay a lot and if i can disable and enable it easily without any issues

[short hawk]

no long range tools, huh. dang

[frank seal]

are you interrupting their heals?

[signal pagoda]

Im use long claw with hunter soo...

[green dagger]

I mean, red tools, not all tools

[maiden turtle]

idk extra silk ig

[vocal sky]

The mosquitoes can be killed by the tongue guy, the big guys can be jumped over, also there’s like 2-3 mosquitoes on screen at most

[tacit sentinel]

Yes, they were a part of the godhome dlc

[languid violet]

have you heard of bilewater

[gleaming idol]

doesnt have as good range as hunters crest??? are you high

even with longclaw reaper has more range

[spare tide]

Oh

[past cypress]

ah so silksong is likely to get one eventually?

[daring dew]

I wanted to try out longclaw on wanderer crest, but I'm too attached to the two healing charms at this point

[prisma plaza]

i duped it because killing bosses twice can make your % go above 100

[remote onyx]

why does every enemy teleport in this game

[sour sail]

YEAA

[alpine vortex]

IVE WAS THERE FOR SO LONG I RAN OUT OF SHARDS

[untold echo]

||I use volt fillament on every crest except arch||

[sly scaffold]

KARMELITA HAS A THIRD PHASE???

[maiden turtle]

That fight is way more fun that way

[elder ruin]

wanderers crest my beloved

[vital saffron]

they have the same range, hunter has wide swings

[worldly marlin]

yeah im not beating this

[magic ruin]

The real question is why do they all know how to parry

[rose finch]

have fun

[tacit sentinel]

We obviously don't know what the dlc is gonna contain but my guess would be there's gonna be something like it

[frank seal]

just expand the vesticrest

[solid fern]

If youre a mf in the hollow knight universe that tries messing with any form of soul or void just know its about to be wraps for you in the story 😭 ✌️

[gleaming idol]

base hunter maybe, reaper has a ton of range

[woven perch]

who's karmelita

[daring dew]

Definitely don't like the charm system in this game, I really miss having more than two charms on at once. Plus, some of them that you'd expect to be good charms feel pretty underpowered

[remote onyx]

reasons im sure

[tacit sentinel]

Act 3 boss

[uncut forum]

who did this

[wraith rapids]

is there any point in doing the deliverys

[green dagger]

I don't like red tools anyways. i just use the one that gives speed or the one that gives u more damage

[sturdy iron]

act 3

[woven perch]

is that the ant lady

[dull cape]

sounds like you did.

[tacit sentinel]

101%

[frank seal]

i could totally be wrong bc i was eyeballing it but that is the thing i saw

[green dagger]

A very fun boss that killed me more than 5 times, which makes her the third boss that was able to do that :c

[tacit sentinel]

Yeah

[south ember]

whats the best way to farm rosaries in ||act 3||

[signal pagoda]

Do people use silk speed boost tool in boss fights?

[vital saffron]

you can have 6-8 charms on at once

[sturdy prism]

how much does grand gate map cost? apparently i did all of act 2 without iot

[dusty ridge]

The hell I missing

[uncut forum]

i was just admiring the beauty and design of the characters

[woven perch]

yea she's been slamming me but i can get to 3rd phase reliably now

[sturdy iron]

Do you gain access to bell beast after beating act 3 spoilers ||bell eater||

[worldly marlin]

I hate bilewater it takes me 20 mins to come back

[green dagger]

Ye?

[sturdy prism]

yo cameo

[tacit sentinel]

Depends on which crest you're using, but it's not a top skill for bosses no

[magic ruin]

I used it against lost lace

[elder ruin]

you can needolin while sitting on a bench ?!??

[desert grotto]

Oh huh I didn't know the ||ant queen|| was a backer character.

[gleaming idol]

i do. its pretty useful in some of them.

https://tenor.com/view/взгляд-2000-ярдов-война-war-soldier-gif-3632617944134077161

[maiden turtle]

Oh hey Spanish spotted :D. And yeah Red tools are sometimes useful and other times aren't

[woven perch]

yes and some other cool stuff, its worth it

[daring dew]

Well like, there are different tiers. I mean like the ones that are good for combat, not compass and gathering swarm

[tacit sentinel]

20 minutes????

[frank seal]

are you just super early into yhe game becaude you can have way more on

[signal pagoda]

High halls top leftest bench, go to the right, silk spear the 3 enemies and reset

[quaint sentinel]

ong😭 🙏 these damn bugs never learn

[maiden turtle]

yes

[limpid condor]

Okay so like where???

[graceful cairn]

dude

[green dagger]

Third what- She... has... third phase? Didn't notice it XD I knew she screamed 2 times in battle, but the last one didn't notice any change

[sturdy iron]

well yeah cuz i was planning to take the beast down to bone bottom for the quest lol

[desert grotto]

There is a hidden bench that makes the runback a lot easier.

[alpine vortex]

How?

[limpid condor]

NVVMMMMM

[sour sail]

welp try harder

[worldly marlin]

okay maybe that's an exaggeration like 5 mins

[woven perch]

i think she gets even quicker but it could be placebo tbh

[graceful cairn]

man shut up

[south ember]

?

[solid fern]

Just silk soar up from there

[daring dew]

Guys, I meant it only allows two of one type of charm, the exploration charms are not that useful.

[soft geode]

5 hours to complete game below 30 hour mark, at the stage of getting the 3 memories in act 3, dont think i can 100% it in time

[worldly marlin]

tell me NOWWWWW

[dusty ridge]

Does I might be miss 1%?

[signal pagoda]

I mean theres really not much choices that can help with boss fights for that slot

[untold echo]

JIA QIU????

[tacit sentinel]

Exaggerated by 4x ✅

[short hawk]

HOLY HELL KARMELITA WAS FUN

[proper otter]

we all love skrill here

[dull cape]

play more, and avoid these channels because they will spoil the entire game for you very very very fast.

[sour sail]

people find her hard? i just slaped her with wonderer intill she died

[uncut forum]

yes thats me

[woven perch]

literally exactly what happened to me

[elder ruin]

Last judge pmo oh my GODDDDD

[green dagger]

The only "change" I noticed, was that she did a slight step back after the running attack, which killed me a lot of times. But idk if that's cause phase change or not

[frank seal]

vesticrest gives an extra yellow and blue + the slots are different on certain crests

[maiden turtle]

That's exactly what happened to me with the final boss lol

[signal pagoda]

Oh mb its the bench on the bottom left, i thought it was in high halls

[untold echo]

Peakject moon mentioned

[woven perch]

we can't all be as good as you cheesy

[sour sail]

QUIRREL SKRILL

[balmy dove]

was i supposed to find the groal bench easily before even fighting him at all

[daring dew]

I really only like using wanderer and hunter crests though.

[proper otter]

prob not to us, in the hk world its likely a common herd bug like a chicken or smth to us

[tacit sentinel]

🐐

[signal pagoda]

How much more damage do they do with barbed bracelet?

[umbral ether]

nice

[maiden turtle]

final final, that's why i didn't name it

[dull cape]

because of type limitations, the tools are able to be stronger and better balanced for THIS GAME, which is not Hollow Knight

[worldly marlin]

thank you

[upbeat ruin]

x2

[green dagger]

I see

[desert grotto]

Np! 😄

[daring dew]

That bench is so dumb. They could at least make the wall look visibly breakable.

[vital saffron]

separating them into tiers balances them because you dont have weaker charms competing with shaman stone

[tacit sentinel]

2x damage recieved 2x damage dealt

[magic ruin]

Barbed bracelet is like 1.2x more damage

[umbral ether]

how do i reach this flea

[woven perch]

UR BIO SAYS UVE DONE NKG NO HIT FYM "do people find this hard" YOU ARE THE 1 PERCENT

hot. Take bile water is the best area

Gonna be 2x faster so 2x less attacks to avoid makes sense

guys cross stitch or rune rage

[balmy dove]

i came knowing i was going to fight bro and heard abt the crazy runback and then just found the bench right outside quickly

[sour sail]

thats not even nkg in my bio thats a harder modded version

[green dagger]

2/10 ragebait

[upbeat ruin]

so hot that you just burnt it

[magic ruin]

Fr was shocked when I heard that

[umbral pivot]

call me crazy cogwork core has the best music

[woven perch]

yea valid it probably doesn't constitute a change of 'phases' as we know it

[maiden turtle]

I mean it's kinda obvious lmao

[dull cape]

both obviously. depends on the scenario

[oblique pumice]

Where should i go from here?

[untold echo]

I like the music and area design

[proper otter]

cross stich for boss fights, rune for other stuff but ur better off with thread storm for an AoE attack

[tacit sentinel]

Just checked. It's 25% dmg buff. Holy scam

[daring dew]

Bilewater is cool, in the same way deepnest is cool, I just think the runback to the boss is fucking stupid.

[upbeat ruin]

i may be crazy as well then

[dull cape]

everywhere

[untold echo]

NOT THE GAMEPLAY

[vital saffron]

the tool system mogs the charm system in every way imo, crests by themselves put it over hk

[native canyon]

mount fay was fun as shit and short so it's peak

[woven perch]

exactly WDYM HOW ARE PEOPLE STRUGGLING WHEN UR A GOD GAMER

[still plume]

whats yall fav boss

[quiet kettle]

Does anyone have any tips for Groal the great? I'm gonna actually weep, why the 5 waves before a 2 stage boss

[vocal sky]

Rune rage is great for some enemies (big/slow ones) but useless when it’s not those enemies
Stitch is good most of the time

[next orchid]

Wormways

[sour sail]

aww thanks man

[drowsy juniper]

what about for arena
and which would be the best for traversal

[green dagger]

1/10 ragebait XD Nah, well. I'm glad you can enjoy that area honestly, but for me and 99% community, we hate that shitwater

[upbeat ruin]

first sinner / second sentinel / karmelita

[umbral pivot]

it’s so fucking good

[dull cape]

so in this scenario, you're homelander?

[solid fern]

Bro I actually got excited seeing the wingmoulds again brought memories back from playing white Palace for the first time years ago 🥲

[woven perch]

❤️

[vital saffron]

bilewater is a good area

[proper otter]

just take your time and dont get greedy with hits, also just sit in the water, he legit can barely attack you from there

[native canyon]

my favorite...

[tacit sentinel]

Bilewater best area imo

[vital saffron]

its supposed to be dreadful with no safety anywhere

[untold echo]

I hate the maggots. they need to be nerfed. /silly

[graceful cairn]

okay

[woven perch]

insanely hot take if real

[oblique pumice]

How do i get there? Up?

[maiden turtle]

I honestly don't even like the theme of the area. Music is good though

[still plume]

cogwork dancers are peak

[daring dew]

For me, tools feel spammy/unsatisfying, whereas spells in Hollow Knight got factored into the healing system/how often you were hitting enemies with melee weapon

It's fun to cheese a boss that you find unfun. But that's where the fun ends for me in terms of tools, really

[green dagger]

Let him eat you, you can deal like 5 attacks when inside him and recover silk, just paying 2 masks

[upbeat ruin]

wait till you get to clover

[sour sail]

hollowparty

[ruby flicker]

how is Steel Soul 100% in this game even possible? especially without quitouts

[dull cape]

for most arenas, rune rage is very very good. unless the enemies move really fast. but if the arena has a big scary dude, like the High Halls one, then cross stitch is good to avoid damage. for traversal I would probably be using silk spear or thread storm.

[umbral pivot]

am i fighting this guy or is it just dialogue

i have cogheart

Third triangle

[daring dew]

It's definitely much harder than HK, not just cuz of the game difficulty but because fragile heart isn't around this time and mask shards are so spread out.

Fourth Chorus W

[green dagger]

Oh wow we... wrote the same xD

[remote onyx]

what do i get for ||clover dancers|| or we its called

[tacit sentinel]

I scored 94 at one point and almost broke down

[upbeat ruin]

he’s got cool design but the fight itself is underwhelming

[woven perch]

i still need to finish the game so i can watch 1000 youtube videos explaining what the first sin was and basically everything else that happens

[proper otter]

are you just saying this cause of cogflys? cause all of the other tools dont really do this, they still require some degree of good aim and timing to use

[green dagger]

A fun fight? :3

[solid fern]

No hit true final boss again. Harder to no hit than PV or NKG

all the bosses are worth it i would say but you can if you want

Rosary gun

[maiden turtle]

idk, didn't use tools in that one lol

How much more damage does pollip pouch do?

then use long nail thing

i only have 3 fleas left now one in mount fay and 2 in bilewater

[proper otter]

reminds them of FOTF maybe 🤷

[green dagger]

As OTP Wanderer, I'm sad :c

[remote onyx]

well yeah i dont want to skip any really

[hollow tartan]

i got the beast claw which extends the range

[daring dew]

I mean you have to aim them yeah but you can spam them way more than spells in HK. Different strokes for different folks. Plus Spells in HK just feel like they hit SO HARD because of the great visuals and sound design and how much damage they did

I do love thread storm but I need that silk to heal and thread storm has such a coomparatively small hitbox.

[slender wren]

Moving saws…

[next orchid]

Imo was still a good amount harder to radiant than nkg

[ruby flicker]

i ALWAYS use rapiers in games. whatever pokes like a needle, my thing. i cant stand wanderer, too short

[sour sail]

silksong but you can only use rosairy gun

[native canyon]

from what I can tell it was lost to time, so I imagine ||she was the first to rise up against grand mother silk||

[woven perch]

ive been a wanderer main until i found witches crest, wanderer is just for the hollow knight uncs/aunts/old people

[upbeat ruin]

the humble clawline

[untold echo]

Witch crest+ long claw

[magic ruin]

used to it probably played hk alot

[green dagger]

Enjoy it, only 1 damage. I had to play that part when they did TWO masks...

[pliant sedge]

i just noticed that the ||flintbeetle||'s attacks is ||trobbio|| but lite

[ruby flicker]

i aint got long claw yet. couldnt play for the past week, im only starting act 3

[timid plinth]

damn it is all wanderer but not hunter 💔

[magic ruin]

Witch crest is dog

[slender wren]

😭

[umbral ether]

they removed 2 mask damage form the saws?

[green dagger]

I find NKG 10000 times harder to do radiant than Pure Vessel tbh

[daring dew]

I've beaten Radiance with base nail/masks, and Silksong is kicking my ass. Can't imagine what this game would be like for more casual players.

[proper otter]

not really no? thread storm is insanely good for wiping out fodder enemies, better than rune rage imo, just guide them all into one area and you can quickly dispatch them, plus you're much less likely to get hit during the animation

[maiden turtle]

That actually makes a lot of sense

[gleaming idol]

guys whats the fucking point of rosary gun? why would I want to stop moving in my movement centric game?

[ruby flicker]

i love witches too, so smooth

[native canyon]

what the dog doing

[upbeat ruin]

witch crest only good for zango

[limpid condor]

Sorry for so many questions but is it done after || nameless town??||

this game is so beautiful man, i cant stop playing. I want a godhome so bad

[native canyon]

funny

[umbral ether]

[green dagger]

Yeah, one of the changes on difficulty that I appreciate. I don't like nerfing bosses, but nerf to enviromental damage is nice

[cinder solstice]

this boss isnt even possible

[knotty vapor]

wanderer is literally just base knight loadout with quick nails equipped and no long nail

[umbral ether]

yeah blasted steps was hell

[timid plinth]

you shoot ammo like the land of freedom

[woven perch]

yeah im still lost when it comes to grandmother silk and the curse, is gms a pale being or a higher being? or both? i have a million questions

[slender wren]

Why wouldn’t you want to shoot enemies

[proper otter]

cross stich my friend, just use cross stich

[ruby flicker]

now imagine steel soul 100% in under 30hrs, doing this

[tawdry valley]

You can aim it

[daring bay]

i love he

[tawdry valley]

They are not meant to work for combat. Yellow tools are qol

[sour sail]

yes and hes fun

[daring dew]

Still not as good as having descending dark and abyss shriek and shade soul

Hell, the little spear through silksong does (silk spear or somethign?) takes so long to do compared to shade soul and has such a smaller hitbox. Hornet is super undepowered

[untold echo]

You get it from. A quest in putrifed ducts from huntress or ||runt if your in act 3||

[signal pagoda]

Steel soul 100% under 30 hours beaten under 5 hours is what im gonna go for lol

[sage heart]

I have been playing silksong for so long that when i played stardew valley i pressed L1 to open the map

[cinder solstice]

fun my ass bro wtf

[native canyon]

the way she's described I think she's a pale being, and she's basically the source of all silk

[solid fern]

You already did path of pain jr sorry there's nothing else that tedious in the game as of now 😔

|| is second sentinel fight act 2 or act 3? is it the “final audience” wish? ||

[cinder solstice]

i dont have that

[north dragon]

i have over 3k rosaries in endgame with nothing left to buy

[steady tapir]

Yeah i uh was not ready for the seth nyleth sandwich so i picked the other one for the 100%

[dull cape]

you're too attached man. let go. open ya mind

[buoyant sphinx]

Is there a flee map like the grub map in hk?

[daring bay]

practically the same wym

[sage heart]

Depression hit them like a ton of bricks

[green dagger]

Ye, Hive Knight I think was literally my first Radiant xD I'm good against bosses who use swords, needles, etc I like that kind of combat

[tawdry valley]

Yes and no. Continue exploring

[sour sail]

you need good reaction time

[oblique pumice]

Whats the best early game area to get rosaries

[sage heart]

Technically

[proper otter]

im gonna be completely honest spells were just as spammy in hk as tools are in ss, also tools feel like they take a little more thought to use and you have a wider variety, but i think the point is that hornet cant use soul/void like the knight can

[covert island]

fuck bilewater dude why are enemy spawns so randomized on the runback to the arena it's so fucking dogshit like what the actual fuck

[earnest cliff]

the shopkeeper is the same person, she dgaf

[fresh current]

is there a way to get lantern im in this place i forgot what its called it has alot of dark tunnels and annoying birds

[native canyon]

you know the little pharlid enemies? ||she used her silk to make those into the weavers|| (this is shown after first sinner boss fight)

[signal pagoda]

Did you get the secret bench

[woven perch]

that would make sense

[next orchid]

But hopefully we can agree absrad radiant was an insane grind to pull off

[worldly marlin]

yo guys im right next to the bench but I cant get there is there some kind of breakable wall?

[tacit sentinel]

When the diagonal fleas come up, I like to jump high into the air. When the vertical comes, I stand on the edge of the platform, when the horizontal come I don't move unless my platform is getting hit. For the big fat guy, pogoing him once is safer than praying platform comes back in gime

[knotty zenith]

ACT 3 SPOILERS, BUT ITS CUTE SO ITS PROBABLY ALRIGHT TO SEE

[vocal sky]

No

[ruby flicker]

you don't need to do everything?? i actually still have no idea what givs you percentage in this game. haven't even done act 3 yet

[gleaming idol]

yes

[upbeat ruin]

bench on left side of shakra in bone bottom has pilgrims to its left

[dull cape]

they wanted a new design with a new way of playing, they got it, there are going to be people who just want more hollow knight,.

[daring dew]

Ok but if you spam souls in HK you won't be able to heal. And then you have to go in for melee hits again. I thought it was very balanced in that game.

[maiden turtle]

smol is da best

[magic ruin]

Can't wait for the dlc silksanity to start

[north dragon]

yeah\

[fresh current]

alr thanks bro

[silent sage]

also barbed bracelet, scuttlebrace and magnetite dice aren't for combat? lmao

[daring bay]

she so precious… sob…

[earnest cliff]

yes, the one sign above

[magic ruin]

So small

[untold echo]

Real

[upper plinth]

how many ||mask shards in act 3?||

[green dagger]

Yep

[daring dew]

Ok so, the corpse run mechanic is really annoying in this game. It's fine for exploring areas, but if you die during a platforming section, or on the opposite end of the boss arena, it is simply annoying. Not fun

[sour sail]

small bell beasts are the best

[north dragon]

go in from the top

[misty bison]

This peak

[signal pagoda]

4

[covert island]

if it's that one that's tucked behind a bunch of muck yeah

[limpid condor]

AWWWWWWWWWWWW

[upbeat ruin]

bracelet and dice are

[gleaming idol]

who tf uses barbed bracelet?

[earnest cliff]

i would die for her

[dry anchor]

https://tenor.com/view/fricknmcnugget-tf2-heavy-weapons-guy-heavy-gif-22800647

[next blaze]

act three spoilers - i hate fighting bosses who also wield pins they’re so annoying

[proper otter]

people who spammed soul attacks usually just killed things so fast they wouldnt even be hit, again i think you're just biased cause you've played hk longer

[urban flame]

Where do you find the steel enemies that look like jinn?

[oblique pumice]

It doesnt give very many though. Is there a bench closer to the ant guys?

[ruby flicker]

same, spammed cogflies LMAO

[dull cape]

this game has the rosary necklace system and farmable silkeaters. so it doesn't matter at all.

[desert grotto]

Yeah

[native canyon]

I am heavy weapons hornet

[upper plinth]

||is that including the one in bottom left of blasted steps?||

[worldly marlin]

down from here?

[noble kiln]

Players that don't get hit/barely get hit, the damage bonus is pretty alright.

[lean pendant]

Does The Knight appear in Silksong?

[steady tapir]

||The percentage is acquired after you hand in 3 items but theres 4 you can get, if you kill the fourth boss its item can be showcased in the bellhome instead||

[graceful cairn]

I just jump as high as I can and pray when the big guy comes

[silent sage]

how could you argue scuttlebrace not being for combat

[timid plinth]

it is similar to the shade so im not too bothered by it

[thin mesa]

can't agree more there is so much bosses that I want to replay instantly

[upbeat ruin]

left side in hunters march in the vertical area

[maiden turtle]

I really liked that fight though. Learning it was very fun

[silent sage]

it's not very useful outside of it lmao

[solid fern]

Geniunely kinda felt the same after the surface climb I was like "that's it? I only died like three times!"

[sage heart]

I heard bilewater sucks but im still trying to get the gun how do i get there

[desert grotto]

I mean it's just for fun, I don't think it's very practical anyway.

[magic ruin]

It's a flex tool plus it's somewhat ok with wanderers

[signal pagoda]

No, thats not act 3 im pretty sure

[ruby flicker]

i guess ||carmelita khann and nyleth?||

[dull cape]

it's way kinder to the player than the shade.

[daring dew]

Except it does cuz you lose 50% of your silk so it still forces you to backtrack constantly. But yeah the rosary necklaces are better than HK

[graceful cairn]

when youve unironically been playing flea dodge for like 20 minutes and lowkey start doing ass

[urban flame]

Where do you find the steel enemies that look like jinn?

[green dagger]

My favourite bosses are Pure Vessel, Hive Knight, Zote (even if this one is kinda different to usual sword fights)... On Silksong, Lace... Xd

[native canyon]

I think the reason I find just using needle more fun in this is because of how much cooler it feels

[untold echo]

My favorite enemy

[remote onyx]

uhhh so i got the ||conjoined heart|| but i didnt 100% the area is it unaccessible

[proper otter]

silkeater:

[upbeat ruin]

it’s just rng

[daring bay]

all you need is the farsight and i got that b4 any of the hearts

[north dragon]

no the breakable wall right of where you circled, it's at the bottom of a maggot pit

[tacit sentinel]

Works most of the time. Sometimes rng decides against it working

[untold echo]

Which xote

[umbral ether]

disgusting

[daring dew]

I only got like 3 of those all game

[dull cape]

silkeaters solve that problem, and they are plentiful, or just dying right beside your bench. don't stockpile money unless you really need to.

[native canyon]

they really stepped up build diversity in silksong you can be all needle all tools all silk skills a mix of all 3 it's so fucking fun

[north dragon]

i thought it was gonnA eat the chef

[proper otter]

then u clearly got some more exploring to do and a certain someone to talk to

[sage heart]

I dont get it

[umbral ether]

yeah this guy is fucking disgusting reminds me of darkest dungeon

[magic ruin]

Same

[gleaming idol]

i honestly thought the gourmand was just fucking dead and the chef couldnt accept that

[green dagger]

The colosseum Zote ofc! Nah, the Mighty, Great, etc Zote

[desert grotto]

Not to mention it's easy to get them because of Sytx

[timid plinth]

ik you can farm those

[untold echo]

The humble Styx

[hollow spade]

Hey can I talk here without worrying about giving spoilers

[next blaze]

ive used like 5 and i have 5 in my inventory rn

[ruby flicker]

yes

[noble kiln]

*String beads you aren't planning on using right away too.

[native canyon]

did this guy in steel soul last night before heading to bed, the complete definition of gluttony

[steady tapir]

||Karmelita, Khann, Nyleth and there's a certain green guy who may or may not be royalty||

[umbral ether]

what?

[patent sentinel]

guys i just beat grand mother silk

[daring dew]

Oh yeah there is the guy who makes silkeaters but that would just mean backtracking through sinners road as opposed to backtracking to get your coccoon

[proper otter]

honestly im realllyy hoping for a colosseum of fools type of area in the underworks possibly, would be a pretty cool area imo

[short hawk]

I wish... 😭

[sage heart]

Its just a black screen for me

[umbral ether]

you did the quest?

[coarse leaf]

great minds something something

[cerulean obsidian]

an hour and a half into lost lace no hope is seen

[ruby flicker]

ah that one too. ok, no idea where to fight him tho. i guess cogwork dancers arena?..

[hollow spade]

Did anyone do the secret ending with the infected hornet?

[native canyon]

yeah

[patent sentinel]

now time for the other half of the game

[desert grotto]

It took me an hour to beat Vog's score. LMAO

[dull cape]

if you don't care about your money then you can just die at a bench.

[umbral ether]

oh the screen was in the middle of fading out when i screenshotted

[noble kiln]

||There's eventually a shorter route through Greymoor mostly.||

[proper otter]

you can enter his area from greymoor

[ruby flicker]

5.8% of players did

[woven perch]

that explains the cutscene of first sinner being like "you lied about our creation"

[thin mesa]

congrats, I just started to doing her, did my first attempt,|| second phase is a pure chaos||

[native canyon]

rasher only took 2 tries because my first try I fucking got hit 3 times in blasted steps

[umbral ether]

anyways 2nd pale oil obtained

[signal pagoda]

Anyways the 4 shards are
2 from bellheart wishes in act 3
1 in mount fay that needs silk soar
1 from sprintmaster in very right far fields

[timid plinth]

i didnt know it existed until i got act 3 so i missed it

[graceful cairn]

now try beating seth

[magic ruin]

How far into the fight have you made it

[cerulean obsidian]

just wait until act ||3|| final boss

[umbral ether]

it took me 3 i only failed beacuse i kept taking damage

[hollow spade]

I want to know from someone who has done it if I can do it without worrying about going into act 3 like this

[coarse leaf]

dude getting pale oil in this game is SO DIFFICULT

[cerulean obsidian]

phase 3 when she does the white circles

[green dagger]

Ye

[dull cape]

oh boy thank you for that spoiler tag

[steady tapir]

If you complete all interactions with him he'll return to his old home in the final act There's a small section dedicated to it in the memoriam as well on the lefthand side

[maiden turtle]

yeah

[graceful coyote]

one of the worst bosses in silksong imo

[magic ruin]

You're so close

[hollow spade]

I want to know if I can do it without worrying about going into act 3 like this

[desert grotto]

Do you get anything for beating his score?

[sage heart]

I feel like the first one is sort of easy its just exploring the citadel

[upbeat ruin]

the humble groal the “great”

[thin mesa]

I like chaos, I liked|| First sinner|| sm and I can't explain how I beated it in second attempt

[daring dew]

It is the best option but still annoying. I'm just saying, it's not game ruining or anything close, but I think the game would be better without this mechanic.

It fits Dark Souls well because souls are mostly just for levelling up, and there aren't platforming sections in that game. In Silksong, if you lose your shit it forces you to grind just to be able to buy benches and maps and stuff. It's just a bit meanspirited.

[willow stratus]

They're pretty easy tho

[green dagger]

U wont. You do the fight and go credits. Then return to bench

[vocal sky]

Needed for act 3 but not completing the game normally

[north dragon]

i actually really liked it on my second playthrough, it's like no eyes

[next blaze]

rate my build

[north dragon]

but worse

[sour sail]

easist boss ever

[dull cape]

the mount fay climb is super fun and good clawline training, which a lot of people need. you're not pogoing are you? people keep trying to use pogo in mount fay, you don't need to pogo even one time

[willow stratus]

Very. You can't progress the game without it

[daring dew]

I really warmed up to no eyes when I beat it on radiant.

[hollow spade]

Okay, thanks, and thanks for not spoiling the situation.

[native canyon]

yep which is why she ||made lace after killing all the weavers and their spawn, so she could have an eternal daughter that wouldn't betray her like the weavers did|| (I think the same goes for phantom?)

[green dagger]

Try to get it, is very useful. Not 100% necesary but you will enjoy being more movable. Its worth it

[remote onyx]

so i just left ||verdania|| after getting the ||conjoined heart|| but im wondering if theres anything missable? I didnt get anything except for that and idk how to get back

[sage heart]

It is necessary for some OPTIONAL areas but if your having trouble i recommend acendents grip its a life saver

[native canyon]

grand mother silk is a bit tragic but also she enslaved all of pharloom soooo

[north dragon]

radiant no eyes made me rip my own eyes out very immersive

[signal pagoda]

We found the only witch crest user 🥀

[noble kiln]

It's better to focus on being consistent, then going faster, the climb pushes you to learn new speed tricks too.

[gleaming idol]

bro really? multibinder? use reserve spool or mossberry or smth

[maiden turtle]

It was kinda meh, and doesn't help that the next boss is ||Clover Dancers||

[coarse leaf]

that one yes, but the other half of your nail upgrades are insane

[dull cape]

multibinder might be one of the best tools in the game, meanwhile mossberry might be one of the worst

[next blaze]

it increases the bind damage 🤷

[umbral pivot]

holy shit || second sentinel || was so fucking fun

also first attempt swag

[vocal sky]

Witch crest

[daring dew]

Some of the radiant bosses are unexpectedly hard. I think I had a harder time on Radiant Uumuu than radiant Pure vessel

[graceful coyote]

I'm kinda lost now

[cerulean obsidian]

ive only made it there once and now its at the point where im just annoyed so i keep dying on phase 1 😭

[north dragon]

radiant oblobbles

[signal pagoda]

Multibinder is broken bro 🥀

[boreal viper]

silksong is out
what am i supposed to wait for now?

[noble kiln]

Multibinder gives Witch extra hits in my experience. Heals for 2+2 on other crests.

[daring dew]

That one is so goddamn stressful

[vale vale]

Hollow Knight: Silksong

[signal pagoda]

This

[umbral ether]

crowsworn

[gleaming idol]

yes I love getting hit out of my heal during boss fights

[sour sail]

obobbles FUCKING MARKOTH uh yea

[graceful cairn]

FUCKING HELL I GOT 83 AGAIN

[signal pagoda]

Injector:

[green dagger]

What multibinder does? I didnt buy it yet cause Expensive XD

[dull cape]

33% more healing, why would i want the mossberry tool over that?? each time i get hit i get maybe 1 more silk?

[native canyon]

the bind buff tools are good on witch but I can't see them being useful in subsequent playthroughs on any other crest

[sage heart]

Can i point out i found out my brother got the silkmother with base needle because he never bothered to look up in bellhart

[daring dew]

4 masks insteada 3

[magic ruin]

Let's see the build

[coarse leaf]

go to the egg drawing on the map

[north dragon]

there are leftover godhome files in silksong according to dataminers, so we have that to look forward to

[quiet knot]

When Is there gonna be a Silksong randomizer mod

[remote onyx]

bro my heart..... RIP ||BONEBOTTOM||

[dull cape]

you heal for 2 and then 2 again, for the same silk cost as 3

[noble kiln]

Extends bind time some, but gives 2+2 healing chunks.

[native canyon]

it lets you heal more with bind (super good with witch)

[upbeat ruin]

noooo not lace 😭 give me zote

[maiden turtle]

2+2 healing iirc

[green dagger]

More time to heal or just straight buff?

[gleaming idol]

youre binding right next to the boss, you want that to take as little time as possible

maybe I'd actually use witch crest if it had more range on the bind

[signal pagoda]

Does multibinder work when youre overdosed?

[dull cape]

2 and then 2.

[magic ruin]

Nice silkpost

[noble kiln]

No, you aren't using silk at all at that point.

[daring dew]

It takes longer but you can pair it with the faster healing charm and it becomes goated

[maiden turtle]

More time to heal

[native canyon]

2+2 like others have said, it's a bit longer but it seems worth it if you get hit a lot

[dull cape]

in most cases the extra time doesn't matter at all

[north dragon]

yeah, heals two masks instead of one

[willow stratus]

Fourth Chorus time 👏👏👏

[green dagger]

Mhmmm ye I dont like it, probably good for others tho

[native canyon]

you can also use it with the injector band for super fast heals

[signal pagoda]

Ong that seems broken, would it be a good idea to try for lost lace xd

[north dragon]

no dice?

[dull cape]

for platforming or exploration healing, it's free because no interruption, for fights if you can't heal in that time then you're already healing too risky

[noble kiln]

I've used Multibinder as a regular thing since the first +2 is faster than normal 3-heal.

[native canyon]

honestly a blue tool that more people need to use it snitch pick

[magic ruin]

Do you have dice and long claw?

[green dagger]

I always use Injector, I love healing fast

[sage heart]

I think you should replace multi binder with poisen since you have cog fly

[next blaze]

i love pick but it was bugged on release did they fix it?

[sour sail]

pretty muhc the build i used for 99% of the game

[graceful oyster]

Most average build ever but at least that's because it's good 🙏🏿

[daring dew]

I was thinking about the Silksong healing system.

In a way, I think it was actually completely necessary in order to push the boss design.

Like, what are the most advanced fights in HK? Probably Pure Vessel and NKG. And guess what, they're so fast that you can barely heal.
So I think the new system means they can have more bosses like those fights, but balances it out so you can actually heal still. Plus it's just very satisfying to heal in the boss's face

[cerulean obsidian]

dice yeah but idk what it does

[native canyon]

clawline is an incredible combat option so snitch pick is an incredible blue tool

[dull cape]

injector is fine but most of the time, you can spare the extra heal time anyway. otherwise you should be more thoughtful when you're choosing to heal

[gleaming idol]

its bugged and doesnt give extra rosaries, but yeah harpoon is great esp against flying enemies

[woven perch]

okay this is starting to make more sense, so the general plot of the weavers/gms is: ||gms does the pale being thing and grants sentience and power to buggies to make the weavers, weavers are cool. first sinner maybe finds out their origins and gets locked up. but then remaining weavers stage a coup for (?), it works im guessing since there's the massive silk ball gms is trapped in and then any remaining weavers fuck off from pharloom to take refuge somewhere else|| (holy yap mb)

[earnest cliff]

why is Shakra's fight so hard I die instantly

[green dagger]

Ye for platforming is nice. But I like fast healings on bosses, even if its risky and theyre not stunned or smthing. I might calculate very well if I can or not, and with that, I wont be able to do that

[magic ruin]

Chance to not take damage and increase wanders Chance to crit

[graceful oyster]

I think it not working before the patch made the large majority of players forget it exists before they beat the game

[north dragon]

it's this game's version of carefree melody, blocks instances of damage sometimes

[native canyon]

well the rosary thing doesn't really matter, I'm talking about the damage buff

[cerulean obsidian]

magnetite dice right?

[dull cape]

ideally you know when there's a slow boss attack, so healing is free whether it's fast or slow

[thin mesa]

also did it on second attempt, it felt kinda... empty...? ||The ending sucks btw, can't wait to do act 3||

[untold parcel]

Those damn scissor bugs in the Whiteward... ||How the hell am I supposed to fight two of them to rescue Sherma!?||

[timid plinth]

i feel like i missed her fight completely

[magic ruin]

Yea

[sage heart]

Also why can you fight half the npcs in the game

[cerulean obsidian]

alright and whats long claw

[next blaze]

fair enough

[gleaming idol]

pogo

[coarse leaf]

pogo!

[green dagger]

Act 2 only.

[graceful oyster]

Thread storm <3

[magic ruin]

Increases needle range

[signal pagoda]

Im sorry but its not real 🥀

[daring dew]

Hell, it is often better to heal straight after the boss hits you then it is to wait around and probably not get as good of an opportunity. (||am fighting lost lace rn lol||

[maiden turtle]

The game itself is built around it. Ari explained they wanted the player to be either at full health or with only 1 mask and switching between both states constantly

[sour sail]

MooskaDance

[native canyon]

I saw someone say that ||the weavers put grand mother silk in that giant cocoon|| but I'll need to confirm that

[timid plinth]

sad

[umbral pivot]

used to pray for times like this

[dull cape]

clawline normally does the same damage as your needle, MINUS 1 point. but it's better for positioning and moving enemies

[brisk folio]

it would lowkey be kinda hype

[green dagger]

I know its better, dw. But I get more fun with risky things

[sage heart]

What am i looking,at

[sour sail]

yes

[cerulean obsidian]

i think i should get more masks as well but i have no idea where anymore are im at 8 and 3/4

[gleaming idol]

wait i thought it did more damage than needle?

[north dragon]

dyou know what triggered it?

[graceful coyote]

I'M SMELLING BOSSFIGHT

[green dagger]

I lost her too... I just saw a vid 10 mins ago about things u lose at act 3

[daring dew]

Haha yeah it is great how you can go from "so over" to "so back" in an instant.

I wonder if in DLC hornet might get a permanent upgrade to her heal ability, heal 5 masks or something

[maiden turtle]

yeh

[sage heart]

It is

[ruby flicker]

so pretty wow

[untold parcel]

I suck at pogoing.

[signal pagoda]

Not for a while lol we waiting another 6 years 🥀 (even tho i only waited 2 years for silksong)

[dull cape]

no, it's barely less than the needle, unless you use the tool to increase its dmg.

[umbral pivot]

as soon as they gave me my bellhome

[graceful oyster]

Don't worry it's easy.

Like, way too easy.

[woven perch]

id believe that

[native canyon]

it's great for positioning and comboing also I think it does more damage normally, I killed some enemies in less hits using it exclusively compared to needle

[timid plinth]

oh yeah i haven't gone to lost verdania yet

Wait, his movement really resembles another boss

[noble kiln]

That's nothing by the time you're farming Citadel.

[native canyon]

buffs hunter crest

[magic ruin]

Honestly I used an interactive map to find the last few mask shards I needed

[next blaze]

find out

[maiden meadow]

Chat, hear me out. Lace as MC of hollow knight 3, or a DLC if it ever comes out.

Like she is PERFRCT.

[timid plinth]

evolved your hunter crest

[daring dew]

Ok so, I don't want to upset anyone but... ||I'm not talking about the very touching backstory behind the fight, OR the visual design. But the Seth boss fight was the worst fight in the game for me. Running away from you, jumping into your hitbox, and blocking your attacks. It's just not good.||

[winged plank]

gives you cool stuff

[north dragon]

no it's just funny that you finished everything before getting the key to your bellhome

[coarse leaf]

upgrades for crests

[native canyon]

it's a super good buff and you lose nothing going for it

[vocal sky]

One attack changes, telegraphs are slightly different, and maybe it’s faster idk

[timid plinth]

hunter best crest in the game btw, definitely true info

[oblique pumice]

Is this the cheapest one?

[umbral pivot]

oh lmao

priorities

[daring dew]

I do like Lace but she is not as cool as Hornet was in Hk imo

[native canyon]

"crests" it's just one

[magic ruin]

Wanderers

[cerulean obsidian]

i wouldnt even know what ones i have or not

[gleaming idol]

wdym? he was very interesting to learn. he's so predictable

[maiden turtle]

That would be cool. But yeah, this game handles the balance between the 2 states pretty well once you understand why the things are as they are

[coarse leaf]

there's also the venticrests

[green dagger]

Worst than Groal? Doubt it...

[upbeat ruin]

so when you play as lace she collects more silk, her butt stores it and gets bigger and bigger, binding or using silk skills will deplete it

[untold parcel]

||I really wanna save Sherma. He's adorable.||

[graceful oyster]

No I mean all other keys are free but this one's right there at the start

[native canyon]

LIKE I SAID BEFORE HUNTER AND WANDERER ARE LIKE KOBE AND SHAQ

[bright compass]

I liked it

[maiden meadow]

She literally has no purpose, she says it herself, her finding purpose would be cool journey

[woven perch]

i think hornet and lace's chemistry work wonders compared to the knight and hornets lol

[west flint]

Dear dairy,
I wanted to rage quit silksong because of the runbacks to ||thefinaljudge|| then i remember i beat hollow knight radience after months of attempts

[untold parcel]

MOO~

[noble kiln]

Hunter moveset is alright, but I don't like ||managing focus meter without getting hit||.

[dull cape]

usually this indicates that the devs see your playstyle and they see exactly all the ways to punish/counter your playstyle. which means that adopting new strategies is a huge advantage

[coarse leaf]

guys is multibinder actually good or is everyone joking

[native canyon]

works when both of the people in question can talk

[magic ruin]

Most of them are bought so it I just checked places I didn't remember

[sour sail]

then learn his pattern

[oblique pumice]

Is there another fight against Lace they were the easiest boss so far

[daring dew]

Tbf once I got to Groal I got so tilted I literally just downloaded a mod that makes you respawn right outside boss arenas (highly recommend it, tbh). So Groal became actually kinda fun after that.

[modest elk]

hey gang, is there anything that I will not be able to do or anything that will become locked or unobtainable once I beat ||GMS with the trap set up||?

[cerulean obsidian]

can you not beastling call in ||abyss||?

[west flint]

does my cow want some grass

[brisk folio]

yeah

[umbral pivot]

good with injection band

[woven perch]

precisely

[graceful oyster]

Oh I swear if their next game is about Lace that might be where I stop with Team Cherry hype

[tropic apex]

seth just disappeared

[native canyon]

no

[quiet knot]

It is good yeah, that is if you can find a good heal window

[bright compass]

Oh yes…

[maiden turtle]

I was getting a little frustrated with him as well until I decided to actually learn the patterns of the fight and then it clicked why the fight was like that. It was SOO much fun and emotional after learning it.

[umbral ether]

why

[native canyon]

it's very good dynamic ragebaiter vs the ultimate idgafer

[west flint]

-# WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU FINDING THESE SOUL MASKS?!?!?!?!

[north dragon]

the garmond and shakra fights become inaccessible

[untold parcel]

It's a sad day when one overlooks the difference between "dairy" and "diary."

[next blaze]

||i found seth annoying too until i stepped back and watched his attack patterns. all of the bosses with nails in this game play differently than the rest||

[signal pagoda]

I was kinda hoping hollow knight 3 would be the knight and hornet as main characters together, where you explore using both of them at different times, but iirc its already confirmed a new game wouldnt be about hollow knight

[gleaming idol]

if a runback is long or difficult, then that just means you didnt find the right shortcut. except the bilewater one that just sucks

[coarse leaf]

think of it as an extra rather than smth that's required for the charm to function. just play normally and enjoy the extra damage every once in a while

[cerulean obsidian]

oh man

[noble kiln]

It's good overall, but the extended healing time can make it harder to find openings in fights (healing in 2+2 does negate getting hit mid-heal, at the cost of silk held). ||Injector Band|| offests the longer heal

[green dagger]

Mhm I didnt know that exist. Anyways... I wouldnt do that (in this first run at least) The only mod I would download if exists, is Boss Healthbars

[modest elk]

thank you so much. anything else?

[pseudo wagon]

How do I unlock the savage beastfly wish? Is it act 3?

[upbeat ruin]

2

[vocal sky]

Two optional npc fights, most shopkeeper items get moved around, some random enemies die/move around, some ||npc’s die||, probably more idk

[maiden turtle]

Yeahh exactly

[floral garden]

||does nameless town have anything in it?||

[native canyon]

well hornet's kind of a fake idgafer but when it comes to lace she's a real idgafer

[noble kiln]

That's part of why I prefer Wanderer's random crits instead.

[timid plinth]

multibinder with injector bind

[uncut forum]

am i the only person who sees the resemblence

[signal pagoda]

Knight:

[timid plinth]

yes

[coarse leaf]

||use the needolin on the house at the far left||

[graceful oyster]

It'd be 1-trick pony-ing and there's no way they make something nearly as well-fit as Skong's story

Lace is a created being with like no backstory and no purpose

[modest elk]

so i gotta buy everything in the shops! got it 🙂

[next blaze]

you have an interesting mind

[native canyon]

"||yeah fuck you bitch I'm saving you and this kingdom||" (act 3 spoilers)

[brisk folio]

hornet is way cooler than the knight idk

[daring dew]

You see, I tried to play passively as well, because I figured that's what I had to do. The problem is he has a shit ton of health. Like, an enourmous amount. I even had the 4th needle upgrade.

[sour sail]

damn thats one ugly mf

[ember oriole]

my friend reset his save cuz he couldn't find shakra 🙏

[dull cape]

do you find that you are always BARELY healing, or can you tolerate a longer heal? you need to evaluate that for yourself, because the extra healing is huge

[west flint]

its not that its long or hard, its the fact there is a runback.
like TO ME , the runningback to that boss only to get murdered passionately and then running back is just... it gets annoying after a while yknow?

[signal pagoda]

Knight has more aura 🥀🥀🥀

[gleaming idol]

yeah but wanderer is dodo because of the tiny range

[eternal wedge]

nice percentage

[native canyon]

fake idgafer too because they gaf about their family and killing radiance

[uncut forum]

should have tried 67 first

[maiden meadow]

The % of players that actually visited the weaver next right next to spawning area is terryfying low xd

[brisk folio]

hornet has better journal entries

[daring dew]

Once I got to ||red memory|| I really wanted a Knight boss fight

[umbral ether]

nice

[native canyon]

the whole point of the vessels is that they're fake idgafers that's what HOLLOW KNIGHT IS ABOUT

[gleaming idol]

that runback was so satisfying when I mastered it. I didnt have to fight a single enemy. also do you have silkspeed anklets?

[noble kiln]

You can get used to it, and learn to use sprint/walk to space better along the way.

[cursive swift]

hey i have a question, is there a site like for the first hollow night that allows you to send your file to show you what you miss? becouse i cannot find my last spool fragment and i wonder where is it

[umbral ether]

i predict the next game will be about zote

[native canyon]

was actually doing the soyjak thing when I saw this

[sour sail]

this would be cool but dont know how it would work

[graceful oyster]

That would be fire

[daring dew]

I think the percentages must be bugged cuz at one point it said like, "2 percent of players beat first lace fight, 10 percent of players beat last judge"

[celest spade]

so I mighta softlocked myself the last mask shard... ||does the merchant from the 1st town die in act 3 I can't find them||

[umbral ether]

beacuse zote was shown as the 3rd playable character in the kickstarter for hollow knight if i rember right

[next blaze]

its the last act the bosses are going to be harder i personally dont think he’s unfair just very punishing

[wicked vortex]

they finally made the hive important to the lore Holy Shit…. 🤯

[maiden turtle]

That was the moment where I knew that Hornet is indeed, "The princess of 3 queens"

[floral garden]

thank youu

[elder ruin]

I GOT THAT EVIL FUCKING METAL SHART TO THE THIRD STAGE ‼️‼️ PROGRESS ‼️‼️‼️‼️

[dull cape]

really doesn't make sense to manage it. with any crest, you always want to hit things, and you never want to get hit, so stop thinking about the meter lol

[daring dew]

Imagine if on launch, Silksong had a cold open where you play as Zote for like an hour with no sign of escape.

[umbral ether]

i think im ready for groal

[west flint]

idea: try to find ||their dead body or a merchant that mightve know him or took his stuff||

[gleaming idol]

you cant lock yourself out of this stuff. if a shopkeep dies then their stuff appears somewhere nearby

[graceful oyster]

This was always a thing, they just made it more obvious with Skong

[green dagger]

I WOULD love it

[sour sail]

hm

[next blaze]

||i died on nyleth 3 times compared to seths 10 ||

[umbral ether]

i will do this tomorrow however as i have spent most of this day getting amsk shards and spools

[green dagger]

Not enough

[short hawk]

a certain thief will sell you the items of shopkeepers who die...

[gleaming idol]

only one shard bundle? youre fucked /s

[next blaze]

lmao

[coarse leaf]

zoteboat is real

[daring dew]

Finall realizing why Hornet, a spider, is named Hornet ||she was trained by hornets- I MEAN BEES, FUCK||

[umbral ether]

yeah i should get the 2nd pale heart from the whiteward boss

[native canyon]

||"SHE MENTIONED THE HIVE THE NEEDLE IS LITERALLY FROM THE HIVE" || (3rd needle upgrade spoilers lol)

[umbral pivot]

|| so i’m currently doing silk and soul 3/4 doing groal now. how exactly do i get act 3 tho? beat gms again once this wish is done? ||

[grizzled nacelle]

yeppers

[celest spade]

so I'm not missing the merchants mask shard then.. WHERE IS THIS LAST ONE

[sleek cave]

yes

[umbral pivot]

i see

[dull cape]

i know a speedrunner who only found it near the true ending

[sleek cave]

it’s under there

[umbral ether]

i have not contuine the main quest yet

[coarse leaf]

me during the entire red memory

[green dagger]

U should be 17 masks, Needle 6 upgrades

[north dragon]

i think that might've been the point? and why nyleth is the only act 3 quest boss to have a "guardian" lore wise

[maiden turtle]

yup

[wise thunder]

finish the quest, talk to the npc before GMS and now u can needolin after the boss is killed instead

[quick rock]

yo guys in bilewater ||ive been told theres a secret npc that joins the caravan and gives u a map for fleas u dont have? is this true? how to get to him? ||

[sleek cave]

not in bilewater

[green dagger]

Is not in bilewater

[maiden turtle]

It isn't in Bilewater

[next blaze]

you’re totally right i never looked at it that way

[quick rock]

what area then?

[grizzled nacelle]

she's in a diff stinky place

[umbral ether]

forgot to buy more shard bundles

[vocal sky]

It’s in ||purified ducts||

[sour sail]

above ducts bell beast

[umbral pivot]

mmmm okay. boss is the same exact thing right

[sleek cave]

putrified ducts

[quick rock]

interesting

[hoary mica]

why is seth so much cooler than what he guards

[subtle steppe]

lads i finally got ||architect crest||

[fossil socket]

I got silksongg yippie

[stiff fjord]

E

[sleek cave]

bc he was made for a fan with cancer

[maiden turtle]

ikr

[native canyon]

shard bundles get marked up in price for being the most sought out item in pharloom

[glacial kelp]

chill dude

[sleek cave]

also because he’s goated

[hoary mica]

yeah hes sick as hell but the boss behind him lowkey boring

[dull cape]

The character of Seth was developed together with Seth Goldman, who's a really cool young guy we were fortunate enough to meet and get to know. Thanks to the Marty Lyons Foundation for hooking us up with Seth. Huge thanks to Seth himself! And look forward to entering battle with his deadly bug warrior!

[coarse leaf]

man lmaooooooooooooooooo

[wise thunder]

get leeched and pulled upwards till u reach him

[sleek cave]

it took me way too many tries

[grizzled nacelle]

HAHAH U CANT SAY T U A H

[gleaming idol]

"certain" bosses when I throw 32 tacks at their feet

[native canyon]

WHY IS DYNO GETTING SO MANY PEOPLE 😭

[hoary mica]

yes i know why seth is cool as hell im just asking why the boss behind him is kinda lame

[sour sail]

good.

[grizzled nacelle]

hawk

[coarse leaf]

try saying "t*ah"

[gleaming idol]

those fuckers arent leeches

[sleek cave]

two ahh

[undone spruce]

does team cherry try to play the game ever ?

[daring dew]

I actually have some ideas for a Knight boss fight. One move could be flying with monarch wings in center screen, while spewing void everywhere. Another one could be the Knight shade dashes through you and then slashes you on the other side quickly.

[dull cape]

because you like a different kind of challenge

[glacial kelp]

is this the cap lmao ive never used it

[sour sail]

it is a cool boss

[sleek cave]

what’s wrong with ‘em?

[timid plinth]

cone goober

[hollow maple]

i literally just got Silksong, any tips before I begin?

[wise thunder]

sry, got used to DRG

[native canyon]

I don't think I will

[arctic totem]

theres like 10 primal aspid enemies in this game

[nocturne beacon]

just beat ||grimm 2|| (i forgot his actual name)

[daring dew]

Love silksong, but they put in too many enemies that seem just designed to annoy you.

[north dragon]

TROBIOOO

[dull cape]

people do NOT want cuphead bosses in their hollow knight

[calm cargo]

How do I beat Clover Dancers? It is significantly harder than the original fight, idk what I’m doing

[sleek cave]

if you’ve played HK you’re good, GL with the game and have fun!

[nocturne beacon]

yeah him

[gleaming idol]

no. i was exaggerating, but archetect allows you to refill your red tools mid fight

[daring dew]

They made the flying enemy AI worse than Hollow Knight.

[sour sail]

still nothing to primal aspid

[normal token]

Sick game with a sick parry

[hoary mica]

idk most of my friends thought it was the worst of the ||4 heart bosses|| i dont think theres anything like wrong with it its just a little boring

[dull cape]

hit, don't get hit

[sleek cave]

Ngl I just first tried it idk 😭😭

[arctic totem]

who tf are people cuphead is fun asf

[hollow maple]

thanks! I've beat the first game multiple times

[undone spruce]

stupid .this in the tower not the normal one

[timid plinth]

if you feel like you're getting beaten up, give up and get stronger first

[gleaming idol]

yeah, and you have red tools and harpoon. so what

[nocturne beacon]

||i love that he just plays dead it's so funny||

[maiden turtle]

nice

[glacial kelp]

how many can you have on the ground at once

[sleek cave]

We LOVE cross stitch!

[umbral ether]

the last pale oil is in act 3 right?

[dull cape]

i think they wanted 4 different things for 4 hearts

[sour sail]

yes we do

[daring dew]

so what? How about act 1

[dull cape]

some people *

[safe scarab]

I’m sulking it and by it… let’s just say my sonk

[maiden turtle]

Don't give up (as in like, the game)

[sleek cave]

What’s your guys’ opinions on the coral tower?

[hoary mica]

try to avoid spoilers like the plague, if you want to google anything (which i dont think is bad just do so sparingly) do it in here instead because if any search engine knows you like silksong youll get spoiled by a thumbnail

[timid plinth]

its aight

[undone spruce]

no i mean the tower version

[daring dew]

Coral tower was cool but I wanted a whole area

[hoary mica]

i think it was a little drawn out but other than that pretty fun

[glacial kelp]

disappointing

[native canyon]

man every so often I just stop and appreciate my wallpaper it's so good shoutout nanikos (act 3 title screen spoilers)

[gleaming idol]

4 throws, so 16 total. just throw more after they get used up

[maiden turtle]

kinda boring until Khan

[daring dew]

How did team cherry not make a full area out of their prettiest tileset? Wtf

[dull cape]

do not participate in the silksong channels on this discord, or watch streams, or look things up, until you have a percentage counter in your game. or later than that

[hollow maple]

@maiden turtle @hoary mica Thanks!

[vocal sky]

Isn’t this the cursed ending title screen

[green dagger]

What is Ribbit? XD

[next blaze]

should have been a whole area and not just enemy waves

[sleek cave]

I liked the Khan boss bc it’s just like insanely easy

[hoary mica]

yeah i guess that makes sense actually

[glacial kelp]

kinda like cogs then i guess

[timid plinth]

crust king khann is kinda easy tho, im kinda disappointed

[gleaming idol]

are there bullshit ranged flyers in act 1/

[hollow maple]

alright ill disappear now\

[native canyon]

it's a deltarune mod

[sour sail]

deltarune mod i think

[safe scarab]

Currently doing steal soul,wish me good luck

[sleek cave]

bye!!

[native canyon]

no it's normal ending with the act 3 completion addition to the title screen

[sleek cave]

steal, you Grindle?

[green dagger]

What is about? Xd

[tawdry valley]

Fuck all these khann haters, I’ll jam out to the theme with or without your approval

[timid plinth]

good luck

[daring dew]

Well I remember getting particularly annoyed by the righthand side of Greymoore

[maiden turtle]

oh yeah it's ridiculously easy, but it is visually very cool

[native canyon]

kris is a frog now

[sour sail]

pretty much changes the entire game

[nocturne beacon]

not the 5 human game launchers 😭

[sleek cave]

I like it bc he disintegrates to wanderer crest

[green dagger]

... Lol I might see that xd

[coarse leaf]

the last arena before the shortcut is harder than the area boss

[dull cape]

yes, lots of kiting flying enemies. you're highly expected to use clawline but not everyone makes it a habit

[daring dew]

I liked that Coral tower was easier, a lot of the gauntlets in this game are difficult to the point of being unfun

[gleaming idol]

those craws eventually fall to the ground after getting tired of flying

[green dagger]

Wanderer tier S uwu

[near pumice]

Im at the gauntlet at the beginning of act 3 and I already want to quit

[tawdry valley]

You can’t call bosses easy and use the comically meta crest

[glacial kelp]

clawline act 1?

[dry anchor]

LL is easy

[graceful oyster]

Architect is the comically meta

[sour sail]

yes you can

[dull cape]

sorry not act 1 lol

[native canyon]

I noticed it was kinda cool with the 2 delta runes and the hearts so I immediately threw everything else into folders (silksong stays because it's peak)

[subtle steppe]

NOOOOOO
||WHAT HAPPENED TO GARMOND||

[daring dew]

If it's in the vaults, you can quit out, respawn at bench, then go the other way. I hate that gauntlet too, completely skipped it.

[tawdry valley]

Yeah toolspam but still

[graceful oyster]

Wanderer is just meta

[sleek cave]

dude that’s like saying you can’t call bosses easy if you use quick slash in HK

[warm siren]

YES YES TROBBIO IS ALIVE I KNEW IT I KNEW IT

[dry anchor]

https://tenor.com/view/karite-black-proud-brother-im-biggy-black-blackety-black-and-im-black-talking-gif-17142680

[next blaze]

random bullshit go!

[daring dew]

I miss mark of pride + quickslash lol

[gleaming idol]

how the fuck does wanderer's just unconditionally have better damage than hunter (max focus) and beast (sicko mode)

[tawdry valley]

It’s not lol

[willow stratus]

He's too dramatic to die

[native canyon]

architect players when they're forced to play the game

[maiden turtle]

It was unfun for me lmao. Maybe it was because the 2 days I tried it I was tired but the gauntlets from Coral Tower took me more tries than the Choir lol

[timid plinth]

sheer dps and atk spd

[graceful oyster]

And Hunter is what should be, and probably will be in time, the true meta

[sleek cave]

practically the same thing

[tawdry valley]

Lore accurate knight crest

[sour sail]

attack speed is good

[native canyon]

yes it is

[spiral pasture]

NOOOOOOO

[glacial kelp]

using tools gives using magic in elden ring lowkey

[sleek cave]

you use wanderer for quick slash

[daring dew]

You can't hit the flying enemies with it, unless you're a speedrunner ig

[native canyon]

if you use quick slash in hollow knight you fucking suck this is true

[frosty light]

Six heart shaped objects, and the meme will become complete. Five. That's how many we have collected thus far. Understand?

[flint dust]

Whats yall fav crest?
Mine is reaper for exploration and architect for combat

[tawdry valley]

Wanderer isn’t just a swing speed bonus

[warm siren]

i was so sad when i thought he died- BUT SO HAPPY WHEN HE CAME BACKKK

[dull cape]

i think they were trying to guard against hollow knight players raging about getting used to hunter's crest, so they made wanderer's the easy button for HK players

[calm cargo]

How do I dodge this ridiculous tornado attack that Clover Dancers do?

[daring dew]

BRUH

[flint dust]

TROBBBIOOOOOO

[next blaze]

witch

[tawdry valley]

Go around

[sleek cave]

Like 2% crit chance I don’t think it has much besides that

[north dragon]

sprint and clawline

[graceful oyster]

Reaper is the king of utility in overworld exploration

[normal token]

harpoon

[native canyon]

I don't actually judge you for using architect don't worry everyone gets different enjoyment from this game
