What's the best crest in terms of usefulness and usage (help channel is empty rn)

[dusk oasis]

what's a Spool?

[dull cape]

many people don't care about spoilers until they get a real spoiler that really spoils something real for them

[weak ice]

mb twin

[hexed stirrup]

ok twin

[drowsy hazel]

Depends on your playstyle.

[restive rivet]

tbh, no glazing, wanderer

[rich nexus]

thought these were ventricas

[celest cypress]

ok bet

[weak ice]

wanderer

[jolly falcon]

to whoever made this level, may your woes be many and your days few

[hexed stirrup]

ventricas only in citadel

[ocean bridge]

wanderer is the all-rounder ye

[barren moth]

one of them is act 3 exclusive, but heres where they are/will be (i might be wrong about the ||Whispering Vaults|| one)

[drowsy hazel]

I can never understand. You only get one first playthrough, I am definitely playing blind.

[brazen osprey]

it was the most ive raged at a game, i just wanted my pale oil :(

[restive rivet]

does he know about bilewater lads...

[weak ice]

||i was lying btw||

[hexed stirrup]

whos gonna let bro know this is on the easier side of platforming

[celest cypress]

i love all the pop lites in this game

[rich nexus]

theres a harder one

[dull cape]

the best one is the one you enjoy using, wanderer's crest is the one if you want to make the game very easy, if that's fun to you, then maybe that one.

[weak ice]

laughs in mount fay

[cyan pewter]

oh boy i sure do hope this doesn't lead into a super hard boss fight?

[jolly falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/praying-crying-downfall-sad-tears-praying-gif-7785197299162436598

[hexed stirrup]

its not that hard i first tried it

[celest cypress]

HAHAHAHAHAHHAH

[restive rivet]

it leads to PEAK

[dull cape]

I assume you are already done with the game? because there's no such thing as blind while being in this channel lol

[uncut bolt]

i wonder how the knight surpassed pure vessel and hornet with no training whatsoever

[jolly falcon]

THIS IS WHY HALLOWNEST IS SUPERIOR, GLORY TO THE PALE KING

[celest cypress]

first sinner was not allat

[cyan pewter]

well my name aint scep now is it?

[tight viper]

It’s the Hollow Knight’s cousin from Philly

[ocean bridge]

i wish there were more zipline sections, that shit was so cool

[hexed stirrup]

just play aggressive

[weak ice]

wdym he didn't train

[glad peak]

I am quite good at pogoing and love exploring
How's that?

[brazen osprey]

it aint super hard but it is super fun

[hexed stirrup]

everyone is spke now

[celest cypress]

bro mount fay was so fun

[dull cape]

there will be mods with more platforming soon enough

[weak ice]

wanderer

[normal summit]

is that the first sinner??

[brazen osprey]

were the nailmasters nothing

[uncut bolt]

i mean both pv and hornet were trained by higher beings and other powerful fighters

[cyan pewter]

nah its moss mother 5x

[weak ice]

i hope they would add lost sinner

[normal summit]

dayum

[uncut bolt]

yes nobody uses nailarts

[barren moth]

PV was trained by the Pale King, Hornet was trained by Vespa, from what we know The Knight has just been wandering for it's whole life, fighting random stuff. no real actual training other than the nail arts, which dont really get taken into account much anyway

[jolly falcon]

I LOVE WANDERER CREST I LOVE HAVING A STABLE POGO AND AGGRESIVE PLAYSTYLE

[glad peak]

Quite good at diagonal pogoing*

[ocean bridge]

yea the cold mechanic was neat!

[dull cape]

haha. but why not play silksong instead of hollow knight

[weak ice]

witch ig

[glad peak]

Alright I'll try it out

[quasi fog]

gauntlets before bosses are absolutely pointless especially if the runback is simple as shit just let me fight the boss without padding out the fight i dont care about these enemies

[primal kiln]

Why the hell is trobbio so damn accurate with his bombs aren't they supposed to fly randomly?

[pearl swan]

The unquenchable desire to hit things

[weak ice]

they do and u can hit them

[glacial kelp]

you can knock them away :3

[uncut bolt]

same

[drowsy hazel]

Yep, all achievements.

[restive rivet]

the more you move (and the average person moves a LOT), the higher the chance it will hit you, making it seem that way

[olive siren]

Hi if i banish grimm do i still unlock nkg in godhome i wanna practice

[glossy grotto]

I love clicking silksong spoilers on reddit without reading the title and getting spoiled about the true ending

[hexed stirrup]

dormir

[restive rivet]

are you talking about how Sherma was GMS all along??

[pearl swan]

Either Wanderers crest or the Arcitecht Crest where you hide in the corner like a bitch and cast random bullshit whilst overdosed on drugs so you don't have to heal

[quasi fog]

you should read titles

[prime drum]

HYPEST SHIT EVER

[quasi fog]

bro spoilers

[primal kiln]

I was clinging to a wall when I got smacked by 2 bombs in less than 3 seconds and i died

[brazen osprey]

:(

[hexed stirrup]

only if u reach nkg in p5 i think

[old token]

why does hornet regain some abilities she had in hollow knight in silksong? did she lose them somehow

[weak ice]

spoilers channel bro

[undone jolt]

guys what is the tech with ||Sawtooth Circlet|| i saw somebody oblitirating a boss with it can somebody explain it?

[olive siren]

But morally i want to not help evil grimm and save grumm

[glossy grotto]

i dont know how to read 😔

[dull cape]

"depends on your playstyle" bros believe there are people out there who naturally have trouble with wanderer's crest due to their playstyle and are just naturally great with beast crest. no, you should seek to have a "playstyle" that is stretching out and working on things. you consciously change your play to suit what makes a crest good. just picking things based on HK habits or what's easiest... is just ignoring new distinct parts of the game and in the end, having less fun.

[hexed stirrup]

when shes caged i think she loses her abilities idk we need mossbag

[jolly falcon]

btw should i be able to get double jump?

[pearl swan]

Bro ikr I can't believe Sherma is the final boss. It explains so much, like how he was always literally one step ahead

[normal summit]

double jump casts blade

[quasi fog]

read the message i was replying to 🙏

[brazen osprey]

i wish u could close the door inside the bellhome

[olive siren]

If i fight and beat him do i unlock it now

[jolly falcon]

or is that accessable later on

[weak ice]

am blind

[barren moth]

iirc its similar to Flukenest. If an enemy's hurtbox changes position while inside the hitbox of the sawtooth circlet, it repeats the damage

[shell grail]

what a waste of rosaries >:(

[primal kiln]

Do you have harpoon?

[untold dune]

depends what point in the game you are

[weak ice]

u need to clawline

[hexed stirrup]

psalm cylinder beats to study to

[normal summit]

once you reached the citadel, you can get double jump

[drowsy hazel]

if you keep playing you'll find it eventually

[dull cape]

that's, like, your opinion, man

[restive rivet]

lil bro teleports past last judge when doing phantom route, and teleports into a spa that is completely walled off

we should have seen the signs!!

[jolly falcon]

citadel, just killed that gay dancer robot

[weak ice]

nice tip man

[lost apex]

Where you at rn

[barren moth]

tell that to the workers in the citadel who dont get to lay down and have to pay 15 rosaries every time they want to sit

[shell grail]

Dude I could have bought a simple key instead and ||freed that prisoner in sinners road||

[untold dune]

you cant just yet but you're not far off

[dull cape]

you know, if you're not done with the game, but you post a screenshot, people are likely to spoil things you haven't seen yet 🙂

[restive rivet]

when you get clawline you can get it

[hexed stirrup]

chat is sinners road called sinners road cuz its not the way to last judge but thru phantom

[shell grail]

Woah youre right

[lost apex]

You're not too far off

[undone jolt]

oh k nice

[jolly falcon]

ahh i see

[pearl swan]

I think the biggest giveaway is the fact that he's always singing. I mean it's called silk song. The only thing he's missing is silk, and that's what Hornet is for.

[shell grail]

But shouldnt they spoiler tag everything?

[wild canopy]

WHY IS HORNET USING TOOLS AGAINST ME

[hexed stirrup]

yaoi clankers in silksong 💔

[cyan pewter]

why did they murk mottled skarr? he aint dont nun wrong?

[shell grail]

This is silksong discussion and also spoilers

[weak ice]

because u sin to go to bilewater

[winter swift]

can someone help? i got to sinners road right after getting the wall climb ability and found the mist. I just fought the boss in exhaust organ and im somehow in the citadel. Im scared that i followed the wrong route or i missed some major stuff because i havent explore sinners road or shellwood properly

[untold dune]

why doesnt hornet use cogflies? is she stupid?

[drowsy hazel]

She uses tools, that's part of her fighting style.

[hexed stirrup]

hornet if she had cogflies and fleabrew/flintslate in kingdoms edge:

[restive rivet]

if im not mistaken, I believe it's that the left and right half of the circlet have their own hitbox, so moving away from the enemy lets you hit it with the 2nd hitbox

[quasi fog]

hornet use poison cogflies you moron

[hexed stirrup]

(lore accurate hornet)

[barren moth]

if you want to know the name of the ability youre looking for (it doesnt tell you much about its use) before being able to get double jump its called ||Clawline||

[restive rivet]

bro casually did the speedrun route

[lost apex]

Ghost when Hornet drops a voltfilament on them

[hexed stirrup]

thats the unconventional way to act 2

[cyan pewter]

noo no there are 2 ways in the citadel either blasted steps or they way u went, i myself actully went that route too and im fine so dont worry twin

[glad peak]

Weird looking silksong boss

[brazen osprey]

this is a perfectly normal way to get into act 2

[untold dune]

yeah you accidentally did the hidden act 2 route lmao, you can still go and fight the "intended" act 1 final boss tho it hasnt been disabled or anything

[winter swift]

please tell me i didnt lock myself out of some major stuff

[jolly falcon]

ooh yeah i alr have it

[quasi fog]

it would be really cool for like a pvp mod where one player can use hornet and the other can use the knight

[winter swift]

oh thank you

[lost apex]

You can still do all of it

[mortal lichen]

why do people hate groal over the runback but love karmelita despite the runback?

[gritty cobalt]

||the first sinner|| is such a good friggelingaling boss

[cyan pewter]

ur fine i did the same u can still fight last judge and all that

[hexed stirrup]

no u can do all of it after coming back

[spring zenith]

No it's a metroidvania, there are multiple paths

[drowsy hazel]

You can't be locked out of anything major, don't worry. It's not a linear game, it's a Metroidvania. Explore how you want to.

[restive rivet]

there are technically no missables to full completion

[glad peak]

There's people that call the knight as ghost? Very cool and quite rare

[quasi fog]

karmelita has a good runback wdym

[winter swift]

thank you guys

[weak ice]

there is no runback for karmelita?

[timid plinth]

im sure im late for saying this but apparently there's a the slab cinematic?

[left ore]

Steel Soul will require me to have my fingers on alt + f4 24/7 then

[knotty shell]

what runback

[barren moth]

Sinner's Road is the Road that sinners take to the citadel so they dont have to be judged for their sins. Theres another way in from the left of shellwood, but you arent skipping any progression. That route is intended, but alternative

[drowsy hazel]

If you get kidnapped, yes.

[normal summit]

none

[cyan pewter]

goral is big back fat frog

[lost apex]

"Runback" and it's enemies that die in 30 seconds and you don't have to refill anything

[prime drum]

Ok why the fuck are there pilgrims in bone bottom

[untold dune]

the runback is 10 seconds of waiting for hornet to go to sleep then running around the damn arena

[restive rivet]

"long" brother its like 15 seconds max

[weak ice]

I think he means gauntlet

[mortal lichen]

the runback is the large ammount of waiting you have to do for all the animations of waking up, playing the needolin, waking up again, then waiting for the gauntlet to start after challenging

[timid plinth]

i extracted some game files and found it so

[lost apex]

Gotta give the fellow some name

[knotty shell]

also no maggot water

[mortal lichen]

at least other runbacks give you a chance to press buttons and stuff, these dream boss runbacks are just a whole lot of waiting

[quasi fog]

thats not a runback thats just the cutscene also thats still like maybe 15 seconds you can wait that long

[untold dune]

at least in hollow knight you had dreamgate 💔

[peak tangle]

only reason i beat groal the great was plasmium overdose + water camping

[indigo eagle]

hey team cherry when are we getting an area called Grubnest full of grubs and grubberflies

[restive rivet]

this the type of impatience and aggression that causes people to leave bad reviews lmao

[barren moth]

then yeah, you have everything you need (as long as you have dash, wall jump, and float) to get double jump. If you want a pointer to where to go, its ||left from the Choral Chambers and left of the area you find there||

[normal summit]

because hornet called it little ghost before

[mortal lichen]

you can't hate on runbacks then be fine with long unskippable cutscenes, that makes no sense

[knotty shell]

meemaw silk? since Hornet binds her in the weaver queen ending

[jolly falcon]

aight thanks

[tall gulch]

Someone pray that they get rid of the boss introduction sequences in the eventual pharloom hall of gods

[restive rivet]

oh im not in the camp of people hating runbacks, but I get you

[burnt sierra]

is it hard to do the game sub 5hrs?

[drowsy hazel]

We need a Mucknest that doesn't have any platforms. It's all muckwater.

[timid plinth]

jail hornet

[primal kiln]

Why do you want to kill these goobers??

[glad peak]

I know. I just don't see alot of people call it as ghost

[barren topaz]

not in particular, but a roadblock for most people would be conductors arena

[untold dune]

the collector:

[burnt sierra]

i did it first try

[timid plinth]

with proper routing, idts

[drowsy hazel]

I mean it kinda is a ghost.

[barren topaz]

then you should be fine

[restive rivet]

to put it into perspective, I did 2 5 hour runs (for 2 systems), and got 3.5 hours each. I choked HARD on high halls gauntlet (spent 1hr+ there) and a bit of lace 2

[barren moth]

hot take: I like runbacks. Groal's is a bit too much because of the maggots and how easy it is to take excessive damage, but the ||Last Judge|| runback that people complain about a lot is good. Its fun platforming, not too hard, and it lets you cool off and strategize between attempts

[untold dune]

i did it in 3:04 first try its so easy if you plan ahead

[burnt sierra]

also is sub 30 100% needed for platinum?

[drowsy hazel]

It's not hard at all with a planned route.

[untold dune]

yeah but that one is even easier actually

[frosty magnet]

just beat tormented trobbio and i feel like im just seeing the purple color everywhere no matter where I look, 11/10 would fight again

[drowsy hazel]

Pretty sure yeah.

[burnt sierra]

yeah?

[brazen osprey]

what long runback? even if you didnt spawn right outside the dream the bench is litterally right there

[mortal lichen]

I was fine with last judge runback as well because even if it is slightly long you still get to do things during that runback and don't have a gauntlet to deal with before the actual bossfight begins

[untold dune]

heck, its even easy to get it in sub 20h

[drowsy hazel]

Yeah, I finished it in like 16 hours in Steel Soul mode.

[burnt sierra]

damn

[barren topaz]

either route to act 2 is fine

phantom route is easier but more rng reliant
bell route is more skip intensive but less rng reliant iirc

[brave timber]

objective aarea tierlist

[mortal lichen]

I guess for karmelita, and the other dream bosses, it's less of a runback and more of a waitback because of how long it takes to enter the dream sequence

[barren topaz]

bell route is faster

[restive rivet]

100%. getting your head level and perfecting movement leads to easier experiences over time.

Also playing a lot of legendary older games, runbacks are actually completely normal (HK had annoying ones including the most annoying of the series: PoP). It's just that Elden Ring has cooked our brains

[warm gazelle]

i beat silksong by killing grand mother silk, ik this is most deftinetley the quickest ending and most likely not the true ending, can someone give me any hints on how to progress since im really lost

[untold dune]

groal is my favorite boss to toolspam ❤️

[torpid rover]

I fucking hate verdania get me out

[cyan pewter]

mag dumping him with silkshot is my fav

[drowsy hazel]

Complete wishes and find fleas.

[warm gazelle]

fr?

[wild canopy]

Whos cuter

[untold dune]

curveclaws will melt him in my experience

[torpid rover]

knight 100%

[untold dune]

hornet

[drowsy hazel]

If you get a quest from the Songclave caretaker you're on the way to true ending.

[brazen osprey]

id have been more fine if it was ab the clover dancers cause i despise those damn enemies in verdania but the karmelita gauntlet is really easy

[cyan pewter]

never rly paid attention to it cuz i had a yillion other tools but with his chunky hitbox i can see it being good

[restive rivet]

difficult tbh, hornet is naturally cute, but look at Ghost, bro is so chill just randomly exploring a foreign kingdom

[peak tangle]

so anything else i miss out on by going into act 3
already did shakra and garmond refuses to stop resting

[barren topaz]

does voltvessel damage groal when he goes in the water

[warm gazelle]

aight dude thx

[cerulean sable]

I fucking love her fight so much man 😭

[hollow yoke]

fuckkk double damage first sinner is tough

[mortal lichen]

oh yeah, clover dancers runback is pretty long too

[untold dune]

once garmond rests you get locked out of his duel sadly, otherwise besides cursed ending you're good

[barren moth]

if i had to guess, it damages him while hes diving in and coming out but not while hes just fully gone

[viscid tendon]

Hollow Knight 3 Zoteboat
Confirmed
My Uncle works at Team Cherry

[warm gazelle]

including seth in the games credits is so wholesome

[brazen osprey]

harder than the actual boss lmao

[dull wagon]

Don’t do the true ending right after normal ending, do the ||twisted child|| ending cuz u can’t get that one after true

[mortal lichen]

If they weren't so easy then that runback definitely would have started to piss me off

[peak tangle]

is cursed ending bad or good

[knotty shell]

it should instantly kill him while he’s taking a dip

[drowsy hazel]

Don't remember it being that bad, no enemies you had to fight either.

[cyan pewter]

am i like interrupting? tf are you searching for😭

[dull cape]

there's no point, all spoilers are allowed here because it's a ton of work for everyone and for moderators because every person has their own level of spoilers depending on what they know. so the rule is, all spoilers are allowed because it's a game discussion channel

[warm gazelle]

me lying in 1st grade core

[dim idol]

hey super random question, checking something and wondering if someone can do me a favor--

if you are on PC and using a Playstation controller, do you have a PS-style graphic in the Options area or does it also show the Xbox layout? I don't have a PS controller to test and am curious, it's for a meta-analysis of this kind of thing

screenshot if possible

[barren moth]

is there any lore on how deep the Maggots go in SInner's, Bilewater, Putrid? Groals fatass can fit under them

[restive rivet]

those are the only 2 things. Maybe you lose access to a shell shard spawn, but that's it. Also those 2 things were not required btw if you were doing them for 100% completion

[still prawn]

What dat? I have 100% and ive never seen that icon in my life

[untold dune]

its very challenging but ultimately just a bonus thing

[viscid tendon]

🙏 🔥

[vagrant python]

i just completed ||red memory||
this is game of the year full stop 100%

[quasi pawn]

I actually think that there are no bad runbacks at all lol
In general i think team cherry did a great job of using Hornets dash and designing paths to boss's from benches with it in mind.
I got a really hot take here
I think Bilewater is one of the best areas in the game and beating it was such a great feeling not really found anywhere else in the game as i see it.

[drowsy hazel]

It shows PS controller.

[steady stratus]

Are you guys feeling more "Shaw", "Garama", or "Poshanka" right now?

[primal kiln]

No? Hollow knight 3 is Pable

[warm gazelle]

hmmm should i remove the tag?

[peak tangle]

....shell shard spawn?

[mortal lichen]

on top of the 2 waking up cutscenes and needolin cutscene you have to do a lot of running and 2 silk soars, 1 of which can get interrupted by an inconvenietly placed offscreen flying enemy

[barren topaz]

poshanka

[dull cape]

don't worry, you'll get more money in no time, and almost everything is worth buying eventually 🙂

[restive rivet]

my speculation is that it tells you if you got a completion %?? I think it's from the latest patch

[unkempt pine]

how do i open

[still prawn]

Huh neet

[barren moth]

I think groal's runback would be fine if if you didnt have to do the enemy arena first. Its not difficult it just adds time and thats annoying

[restive rivet]

dw bout it, not even worth it

[viscid tendon]

It's Zote time

[barren moth]

its a metroidvania come back later

[steady flower]

so i was playing this game and i found this location which ive seen people use to call diagnol dash BAD somehow was this really hard for some people?

[drowsy hazel]

If you get stuck somewhere, keep exploring and doing other stuff.

[unkempt pine]

this what i have been doing

[dull cape]

you think i don't notice that you cleared out every single enemy? LOL

[vagrant python]

yeah people have this magical thing called a skill issue

[barren topaz]

it took me a bit to get used to but it's so fun

[barren moth]

whats the best hollow knight/skong voiceline to say in bed?

[mortal lichen]

shaw

[untold dune]

shaw

[dim idol]

AWOOOO

[warm gazelle]

wtf is ||twisted child|| ending?

[steady flower]

and? you draw them out and kill them i saw this place and staert recording

[restive rivet]

I honestly can't believe the number of streams I see with people missing these pogoables

[unkempt pine]

cornifer song

[untold dune]

beat gms while cursed

[dull cape]

cool, so in other words you found the pogo too hard to do with the enemies alive

[steady flower]

its just pogo but COOLER

[peak tangle]

is it like in your inventory or just regular shards

[cyan pewter]

did yall know that if u dont have any silk the challange animation also wont have any? if you do it will have its classic look

[jolly falcon]

what is this place dawg this is the white palace all over again

[restive rivet]

regular

[steady flower]

why would that be an issue they follow you around and the only enemies are flying babies

[viscid tendon]

The easiest and most common level in Mario Maker 2 be like

[warm gazelle]

how do i curse myself and what does cursing myself do?

[glacial kelp]

youre almost done dw

[peak tangle]

do i lose these too

[restive rivet]

he doesn't know lads....

[dull wagon]

U need to get the ||twisted child or whatever it’s called|| I forgot where it was, then you have to beat grandmother silk without the ability to heal or the ability to use any silk skills

[restive rivet]

I don't know how many ways you want us to say no

[steady flower]

also if oyu want i can ultrainstinct draw them all to chase me while i speedrun this its so fun

[quasi pawn]

the thing about the time investment is fair. But i think if players would just explore the space more like other areas (and not like a one way pipe) then they would find that ||secret bench|| which makes the boss fight, even with it's pre fight, much much more enjoyable.

[barren moth]

somewhere in hell Bilewater

[dull wagon]

Yeah this

If you’ve already cured it then you can’t get the ending on that profile

[warm gazelle]

is it possible to uncurse myself once i curse myself?

[barren topaz]

yes

[dull wagon]

Yeah and it gives witches crest

[dull cape]

face it, pogoing through this with hunter crest and the flying enemies alive is harder than most combat in this game

[untold dune]

basically you can get yourself cursed by bringing the twisted bud to greyroot later in the game, you're able to undo it later but while cursed youre forced to use witch crest, cant use any tools and cant heal

[glacial kelp]

people need to lie more in this channel

[steady stratus]

You have to find the alternate entrance to bilewater, for people like me who spent hours hitting walls looking for somethibg you can't get from the sinner's road entrance

[drowsy hazel]

Then just don't pogo with them alive? You can kill them first.

[steady flower]

this is the most dumbest statement alive and you know what ILL do it anyway JUST TO show you

[untold dune]

but i like being nice :(

[restive rivet]

think we've hit our quota on daily misinformation today tbh

[warm gazelle]

ight dude thx

[lucid kayak]

only in act 3

[barren topaz]

there's no such thing

[steady flower]

the enemies are 3 flying creatures you can pogo on them but really why bother even fighting them on THIEr territory

[restive rivet]

nice, guess ill continue

[steady flower]

also THIS GAME IS BECOMing so much more fun now with the FLYING CAPE

[dull cape]

I can do it too, I did it many times speedrunning, who cares? the fact you can do it is not proof that it's easy. stop using your own experience to devalue others' opinions about difficulty, you are probably not a low percentile skill player so you being able to do it doesn't automatically reflect whether most players can/should do it

[restive rivet]

it only gets better, even tenfold better tbh

[barren moth]

i disagree. I think once you find the hidden bench the boss runback is fair, but the 30-60 seconds it takes to kill the shitters that jump in and out of the maggots makes it mentally taxing to fight

[normal summit]

wait till you get double jump

[velvet fulcrum]

Angelic Voice✅
Gorgeous Red✅
Gauntlet?✅
Am I screwed?✅

[steady flower]

my fingers will break my thumb finger on the space

[barren moth]

there should be studies done on how stubborn people are in this game. I think if TC made a boss that looks beatable but isnt, people would unironically take hours dying to it before going another way

[restive rivet]

I too love khann

[dim idol]

ok ty

[steady flower]

btw i was having too much fun with the FLying cape doing near misses the side of my thumb has a small itch after double tapping space too much

[void prawn]

||you know what that parkour part was worth it this is beautiful||

[barren moth]

i love how krusty he is

[glacial kelp]

unbeatable boss sounds funny

[steady stratus]

I'm really looking forward to the cursed low% speedrun that gets act 1 faydown and only kills 5 bosses

[barren topaz]

no khann emote

[civic matrix]

it's fun

[brazen osprey]

in more ways than one

[restive rivet]

shite discord fr

[steady flower]

so you guys know this guy

[barren moth]

but even when it stops being fun people keep bashing their heads against it

[glacial kelp]

wait you can use the cursed bind as movement tech for skips no

[velvet fulcrum]

Eh, I’ll manage.

[sonic palm]

I hate those little pockets between greymoor and far fields and bone botom and the forest area

[dull cape]

most games are linear. most young people in 2025 have experienced an extremely low variety in games because of how the industry & marketing are now.

[barren moth]

technically but it doesnt actually help anywhere

[normal summit]

wait till you fight a boss that has no platform

[coarse leaf]

The SHAW! Addiction has infected me... Now it's start spreading, similar like fall of Hallownest kingdom

[steady stratus]

theoretically yes but by the time you get cursed it's not that useful

[near sand]

can someone help me for a thing

[cyan pewter]

Analyze ts

[civic matrix]

well i just try over like an hour or two and then leave coming back only when ive gotten bored of smth else

[slate totem]

is it just me or do some bosses have weirdly little hp? - like ||GMS had so little health i barely had to learn her patterns - while Skarrsinger karmelita had just enough to make me fully learn her patters||

[steady flower]

so this guy i was "fighting" him for 5 minutes just dodging because i thought this was a time limit like survive 5 minutes or something I DID NOT KNOW HIS HEAD WAS WHERE You should attack afterr that yea i killed him easily : (

[restive rivet]

ngl true. There was no wish for beastfly 1 so for all we know, it could've been unbeatable. But we all trusted TC wouldn't be THIS crazy lmao

[barren moth]

but even people who played HK and know that you should go a different way if you cant make a jump or cross a gap dont keep that mindset for bosses. Including me, but still

[near sand]

its a specified thing but i need help someone trying to scam me on dms by saying "i accidently reported you by illegal purchase" but i dunno how to report this guy

[steady flower]

first try too

[dull cape]

you expected that boss to be the hardest boss, when in fact it is designed to be a fun and satisfying/grandiose boss.

[barren topaz]

i don't think the act 1 faydown plays a role in the low%/cursed route or whatever

[steady flower]

all because of Floating cape ability

[steady stratus]

||GMS is easy because she needs to be beatable without healing for one of the endings||

[cyan pewter]

dawg first instinct is always to start smacking😭

[slate totem]

fair enough

[normal summit]

and i hated it

[steady stratus]

It does for low% since it lets you get into act 2 without killing Last Judge or Phantom

[stray kayak]

Wailing Mother quest is getting on my nerves who agrees

[slate totem]

thats true ig - but then there is ||that FLY|| so idk

[steady flower]

i tried dhitting hands and body it didnt so i just sslept mentally and got my brain melted dodging his nice attacks

[restive rivet]

I felt this way with father of the flame, and unfortunately the lack of hp bar with the mod means I don't know how little, but I expected more than 1 or 2 waves of him shooting out fire

[quasi pawn]

it does not get easier yeah, but i still think it's better than needing to come back from the bell beast station lol.
At the end of the day i think the difficulty of the area is fair since it's kind of guarding ||act 3 even if you can get to it from behind and get the item anyway (i think)||

[barren moth]

I disagree, she couldve been harder. I beat her first or second try normally and 4th cursed try. They could also buff your nail damage or something while cursed

[cyan pewter]

huh,? brotato is a easy mini boss wth are you talking about

[sonic palm]

When are we getting the super bosses dawg, I feel like I just did everything minus the 100 percent steel soul run 😭

[barren topaz]

isn't it still 5% though since you need at least dart or vial, each being a percent

[dull cape]

the cocoon mechanic encourages you to keep returning to a spot, and save/quit out of locked doors is cheese that new players don't know about. leaving often doesn't even occur to people

[restive rivet]

actually there's a bunch more. 2nd sentinel is really quick. Pinstress is (thankfully) really quick etc. LL is the only 1 I felt lasted as long as early bosses (maybe we just got good)

[steady flower]

i felt this way for all bosses untill now ; ) but i think its just because i wasnt fighting the metal guy for 5 minutes

[slate totem]

there isnt any non self inflicated way to add difficulty right? - besides THAT mode?

[steady flower]

no jumping

[coarse leaf]

Hornet during normal ending:

[steady stratus]

You don't need dart, but you do need both vials I think?

[normal summit]

well technically there is

[dull cape]

what does "non self inflicated" mean

[barren moth]

True. "well i need to get my cocoon" and then "well, im already here, and i feel like i got so close last time! surely Ill beat it now!"

[barren topaz]

yeah so wouldn't that be a higher % overall

[tiny cedar]

how do you guys denote markers?

[chrome folio]

people can't play games without constantly asking "How do I get here? What do I need to do to unlock this?" Sorry, buddy, but you'll have to figure that out by yourself.

[slate totem]

like - no healing - no items etc

[dull cape]

equipping barbed bracelet is definitely much harder

[dire swift]

Guys I have a question.
I want to try hollow knight on phone it's real to install?

[steady flower]

what does this all mean

what is all that

[dull cape]

chatgpt.com

[barren topaz]

gross

[slate totem]

i guess thats fair enough - but that just makes mistakes more punishing and not really what im looking for - more looking for more patterns/harder ones in boss fights

[sonic palm]

When did the dlc for the first game released?

[dull cape]

if you need my words explained to you, don't make a human do that labor

[steady flower]

i heard about something like that but idk i havent tried that thing

[barren topaz]

6 months after release

[restive rivet]

after about half a year

[dull cape]

idk person wanted a hard mode 🤷

[sonic palm]

😭

[knotty shell]

oh god it’s gonna be a long wait

[coarse leaf]

Is this a crime?

[barren topaz]

worth

[silver nacelle]

Unless team cherry came extra prepared or smthn, but that's unlikely.

[silver nacelle]

You monster.

[thin mesa]

how second sentinel and pinstress can be related? They have the similar charged attack and with devs like team cherry who likes detail it should be somehow related

[knotty shell]

slab for life, no parole no absolution

[coarse leaf]

🏃‍♂️💨

[dull cape]

that's basically designing new bosses. because all the AI and animations are part of balancing difficulty

[untold dune]

hornet mischaracterization 💔

[steady flower]

as a person wwho played every game ever from the age of 8 at max difficulty This game is practically kind of a torturre device in the sense ITS annoying at most annoying times for example i get annoyed by flying creatures going out of my range or the diagnol slash having hitbox on head to take damage all of this breaks flow and makes uncinamtic fights which makes me EXTREMLY ANGER due to OCD

[sonic palm]

I think the pinstresses were the ones who trained the sentinels

[steady flower]

also its annoying that ITS A GRINDING GAME WHERE I NEED to grind SOme enemies to get ROSARIES BROOOOTHER thats toerture

[dire bloom]

I tried barbed bracelet and its sooo bad

[silver nacelle]

Get over here, scum!

[slate totem]

i guess thats fair enough - shame

[drowsy hazel]

If you have Clawline, flying enemies going out of range shouldn't be a problem.

[steady flower]

what is clawline

[thin mesa]

why is she then in a desert called blasted steps and not in a citadel finest house

[coarse leaf]

YOU WILL NEVER TAKE ME AND MY ROSARIES WITH 67% PROGRESS!!!

[barren topaz]

act 2 ability

[untold dune]

harpoon

[dull cape]

right but most of the difficulty of combat in this game is around learning patterns of enemies, and understanding how to keep safe with enemies' entire moveset & movement. in that way, taking a hit from an attack is pretty similar to falling in a pit, it is a mistake of positioning the character in the right place at the right time

[barren moth]

the cocoon is what happens when you die, leaving behind a silken cocoon that you must destroy to get your money back, or else youll lose it. If you save and quit to the main menu of the game after getting your cocoon youll respawn at your last bench, with the cocoon already collected. It lets you get the cocoon and get out of a risky situation, but its cheese and new players dont know it

[silver nacelle]

The Pinstress was part of an order and GMS is a colonial bish. I say she met the order.

[sonic palm]

GMS is evil and such

[hard sedge]

Thats it chat
I'm collecting innocent npcs now
Starting with Sherma

[steady flower]

i died in hollow knight before that had much cooler mechanics of getting item back is it same here where my ghost chases me?

[barren moth]

shermas my son you cant have him

[silver nacelle]

I have 100% and cheated in 99999 rosaries!

[drowsy hazel]

I don't think they were "trained." Probably just programmed with the attacks.

[sudden vigil]

can i get a memory locket in halfway with charge beast attack?

[dire bloom]

gms feels so removed from the kingdom to me.

[barren topaz]

you're free to try but i don't think so

[barren moth]

no, this time your "ghost" is just a cocoon that stays in one spot, doesnt fight back, and can be broken in one hit

[coarse leaf]

[silver nacelle]

I ain't grinding all that.

[drowsy hazel]

I mean she wasn't involved with the Citadel and all.

you can get to the Grindle shop that way

[dull cape]

try it and let us know

[silver nacelle]

No.

[barren moth]

why does far fields have a bite taken out of it

[steady flower]

ok another thing is EVERYTHING is so much rosaries guys i entered a new location okay i saw my BEST friend FOREVER shakra -> bench -> Riding puppy summoning area

ALL of them required 50 Rosaries i didnt have 150 rosaries i had 10 SO I had to go all the way back and come back 🙁

[coarse leaf]

Corruption...

[untold dune]

i was hungy

[feral pier]

Dude I have 98% and I genuinely have no idea where to find the missing things

[dull cape]

oh... if you haven't played this game, being in this channel is going to harm your experience 100%

[silver nacelle]

I needed them to empty the shops for act 3.

[void prawn]

Idk if any one else likes ||styx|| as a character but I really do like the guy even tho he’s a bit of a freak

[drowsy hazel]

What are you missing?

[coral quartz]

are you missing tools?

[peak tangle]

okay so the ONLY thing im missing out on by going into act 3 is zaza?

[boreal stone]

hey uhm i just joined and want to share a video of a bug i found

[steady flower]

okok ill leave and finish then i just wanted to show diagnol slash is actually REALLY GOOD and even better than downward slash

[untold dune]

have you bound eva? do you have the final needle upgrade?

[drowsy hazel]

I've seen a lot of people who like him.

[white rivet]

Now that I’ve beaten most of what’s in the game I can firmly say last judge is my favorite boss, the climb out of ||the abyss|| is my favorite part, and bilewater is my favorite area

[hard sedge]

If it's a cool bug then... 🫙

[barren moth]

i like his visual design and he just like me fr so how can i dislike him

[feral pier]

I’m pretty sure I’m missing a final silk spool, some mementos, and a relic

[dire bloom]

also apparantly your supposed to be able to change the menu style in extras? the option is just not there for me though 💔

[coarse leaf]

I'm gonna repost this in another 6 month later

[thin mesa]

he is so relatable

[dull cape]

Have you played the Ori games? (this is relevant)

[coral quartz]

mementos and relics dont count for 100%. silk spool does tho

[craggy wedge]

Hey guys i need help

Where do i find that one ninja-like flee who will tell me all missing flees location?

[untold dune]

momentos and relics dont count for %

[white rivet]

You need to unlock them

[boreal stone]

it's a way to go through the floor

[drowsy hazel]

Mementos and relics don't matter for 100%. You can see a video for all Spool Fragment locations.

[dire bloom]

ive 100% the game already

[white rivet]

Both :)

[feral pier]

I’ve only gotten an upgrade from her twice because idk what she means by “get stronger”

[steady stratus]

Apparently faydown isn't a percent for some reason, but not sure. Do you have the current low% route?

[drowsy hazel]

Putrified Ducts.

[craggy wedge]

tysm

[white rivet]

Oh wacky

[feral pier]

I caaaaaaaaannnttt

[coral quartz]

you progress her questline by unlocking crest slots with memory lockets

[dire bloom]

i never remember getting this statue

[brazen osprey]

putrified ducts

[untold dune]

it means unlock more crests and memory lockets basically

[craggy wedge]

thank you

[dire bloom]

yeh :/ it keeps resetting back to the original red menu which is my least favorite

[barren topaz]

this is from the 18th
faydown is not a % yes

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mwzi3iZh_tu0_E4a9ldDLk4e7XvYJrVvIaOJA1i_EJk/edit?usp=sharing

[hard sedge]

"garama, mooshkeh" 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥

[boreal stone]

https://youtu.be/iOELHAV-DkU in case anyone wants to see it this is the bug but i dont think its of any use

[barren moth]

It isnt (the cloak upgrades dont count), but its not in the run because it requires dash, which isnt in the run

[dull cape]

if you get faydown in your low% route, you will not be competitive

[brazen osprey]

yet all the tools are % lmao

[coral quartz]

@feral pier if I had to guess you’re missing the thread spool under the Whiteward elevator or the one behind a breakable wall in moss grotto

[barren moth]

if its a real low% run its impossible to get faydown i believe

[barren topaz]

chaincat was originally talking about a low% cursed ending run iirc

[lavish grove]

cuz very tasty

but why no shaw team cherry i need shaw

[dull cape]

low% has harpoon and 1 silk heart before completion, and also can have drifter's cloak

[brazen osprey]

i was hungry

[crystal ledge]

btw whos the golden warrior the songclave ppl r talking about in act 3? is it like second sentinel?

or garmond?

[drowsy hazel]

Yes.

[rich nexus]

who are WE eating out first karmelita or lace?

[lavish grove]

its the second sentinel

[hard sedge]

Ate it out of frustration of not finding any bugs for my collection

[drowsy hazel]

Garmond isn't golden.

[crystal ledge]

k thx

[lavish grove]

wym?

[keen stream]

I fucking hate bilewater

[barren moth]

both? tf kinda question is that

[dull cape]

faydown cloak is required to get all tools, so it's baked into the percent in that way, but with 51 tools it stands to reason they might have removed percents from a couple ancestral arts

[crystal ledge]

his heart is ❤️

[restive rivet]

Karmelita is an old dying woman now

[lavish grove]

cuz hes ||dead|| LOL

[normal summit]

karmelita. lace is a mere child

[hoary laurel]

please say the high halls arena is optional please say the high halls arena is optional please say the high halls arena is optional

[rain socket]

HIGH HALLS GAUNTLET 2ND TRY????

[crystal ledge]

WHAT NOOOO

[barren topaz]

i think silksoar doesn't have to be a % tbh

[untold dune]

mandatory 💔

[barren moth]

the cloak upgrades dont count as percentage

[steady stratus]

You skip Cross Stitch and Needolin but have to get both vials so I guess it'd be equivalent then

[rich nexus]

like a tool like flea brew that regenerates some masks and silk

[lavish grove]

except abyss spam and offscreen stuff but yes peak fight

[dull cape]

this means your steel soul run would have ENDED

[drowsy hazel]

I understand lol. I spent an hour in the Forum during my 5 hour speedrun run. I did it first try in Steel Soul.

[hard sedge]

Also hornet
Why the fack have you been free the fleas I've been collecting

[untold dune]

did anyone else actually really enjoy high halls arena

[hoary laurel]

please I dont wanna do it

[crystal ledge]

u need that architect melody to progress bro

[drowsy hazel]

Save and quit.

I thought it was mid

[hoary laurel]

save quit my beloved ii got it first try

[crystal ledge]

no ur a weird masochist

[vagrant python]

the abyss spam is some of the best bits 😭

[drowsy hazel]

It was torture at first but fun on subsequent playthroughs.

[pseudo wagon]

having shakra help and having spiders present is optional! :)

[full dome]

I am at Skarrsinger. How much of the game is still left? I am honestly tired.

[dull cape]

edit save file and give yourself 10 needle upgrades and 600 health.
i can think of cheats too 🙂

[hoary laurel]

I made it to the final wave twice
im so close

[rich nexus]

i like the final wave

[lavish grove]

ngl best fight in the game is first sinner that shi is peak and like pure vessel

[crystal ledge]

YOU MUST PREPARE FOR PAIN

then go to bed fool

how many hearts do you have rn

I still need journa entries in verdania how do I get back

I dont even know where shakra is rn

[full dome]

9

[dark kraken]

can someone gift me silksong 🙏🙏🙏

[dire bloom]

high halls arena is kinda overrated difficulty wise.

[barren topaz]

1-2 more hearts depending on if she's the 1st or 2nd heart boss you did, then true final boss

[hollow forum]

ur fucked

[hoary laurel]

no idea how to summon spiders too

[full dome]

I am tired of this game I meant. It genuinely is too long

[plucky oar]

It's joever

[crystal ledge]

^this

[untold dune]

it is a lot of prep but if you buy every map from her then do her quest, you can get her help in that arena

[barren moth]

the 5% are Cling Grip, Needolin, Cross Stitch, Clawline, Silk Heart

[pseudo wagon]

sorry I mean extincting the spiders

[hard sedge]

They should all get unlocked after you beat clover dancers

[desert briar]

Time for Steel Soul!!!

[thin mesa]

three octopuses here

btw if you have 12 masks in your save file, it breaks the game displaying stuff like tools, abilities, silk amount

[tall gulch]

LL lowkey has the same problem as radiance where some of her attacks/her hitbox are hard to see

[plucky oar]

Gee golly you're right

[lavish grove]

i did it first try i was so sad cuz i only first tried the peak bosses the bullshit ones i died 2000 times

[glacial kelp]

low% though…

[desert briar]

(You’re cooked as the kids say)

[full dome]

Wait. What do you mean by hearts? I thought you were asking about HP lol

[dull cape]

i don't know why you are telling me this specifically, I already know all this info lol, I responded to it

[gilded mural]

What was the clue eva gave for Snare Setter 😭 I can't find it
(Don't tell exact location)

[rich nexus]

pack it up unc

[untold dune]

except its worse with LL because radiance doesnt do contact damage

[real spindle]

Clover Dancer's new attack is so cool

[pseudo wagon]

you don’t reasonably need the silk heart, right? like just grab silk to use for needolin and clawline right

[desert briar]

3:

[normal summit]

something shining near moss area

[dire bloom]

yeh my first attempt i was like "its still going???" but i did it with 7 masks and only the very first nail upgrade and it wasnt actually that bad

[barren moth]

It isnt useful there either sadly

[hollow forum]

It was kinda the opposite for me I first tried beastfly, the boss in whiteward, and did grog second try

[dull cape]

collecting 1 silk heart is required to open the door to the final boss.

[vagrant python]

i dont think ive done first sinner

[lavish grove]

u find it in some weavenest i forgot what one

[brazen osprey]

i mean literal hearts, youll know what i mean when you’re in act 3

[gilded mural]

Hmmm

[barren moth]

youre forced to get the one from beating the second to last boss in the game

[lavish grove]

lucky bastard i did groal runback 10000 times

[rich nexus]

? 2

[hollow forum]

That's pretty cracked ngl

[drowsy hazel]

Is it actually hard to see? I've never really had that problem, can't really understand it since the background is white and Lace is black.

[dull cape]

I don't know what ? 2 means

[barren topaz]

low% skips bell beast

bell beast is skippable in low% lol

Bellbeast is optional

its in the slab its literally pure vessel plus widow

[pseudo wagon]

ah right

[rich nexus]

ah

[peak tangle]

wait... what? wheres act 3?

[keen stream]

Just spam tacs & cog flies for the bosses. The other enemies in the gauntlet you can beat. The double conductors just use silk storm to clear.

I thought the enemy gauntlet was sorta tough but the boss itself is pretty simple

[full dome]

I am at act 3... I was just about to fight Skarrsinger

[barren moth]

Go back to the town Sherma is in

do all the quests and get fleas to purified ducts

there is no act 3

[drowsy hazel]

It's not that hard, just don't jump.

[dull cape]

don't jump, don't do upward attacks

[dire bloom]

its the only memento i refuse to get lmfao, it just doesnt seem fun to do

[lavish grove]

ye the runback and gauntlet is hell boss is easy just i had 2 masks when he spawns lol

[celest cypress]

so many

Quest in bellhart/songclave after the following requirements

[barren topaz]

1:39:57 from like a week ago

[rich nexus]

jumping makes it easier for me ngl

[hollow forum]

Did you at least find the secret bench

[dull cape]

you are not meant to know about act 3, you got spoiled. play more of the game, do more stuff, find more things, talk to more people

[lavish grove]

i did

[tawny relic]

game says im missing blasted steps flea but i collected it a few days ago

[cerulean knot]

Naked hornet is lore now

huh? whys low% slower than any%?

[barren moth]

almost a week ago it was 1:40:00 but id be SHOCKED if it wasnt lower

[hollow forum]

Don't jump it unsyncs them

[dull cape]

https://app.milanote.com/1UW1LX1vDhIZhF/silk--soul-requirements

[brazen osprey]

yes so how many hearts have you gotten so far, is karmelita your first? second? third?

[drowsy hazel]

Unless you're jumping for last hit, jumping makes them fall faster.

[barren topaz]

no dash, jank route

[plucky oar]

Upward attacks are fine, but generally trying to hit the fleas inward keeps them closest together

[peak tangle]

and the fleas

[frosty topaz]

if we were to get another hollow knight game who would the protagonist be ?

[vagrant python]

for fucks sake what am i missing 🥀

[lavish grove]

simp people are still simping even to a stickbug bruvb

[untold dune]

thats normal? because it requires you do a bunch of jank skips

[hollow forum]

the hollow knight

[barren moth]

15%

[drowsy hazel]

Look at your inventory.

[upper current]

how do i get here?

[steady stratus]

Is there a softlock% speedrun? Trapping Hornet forever in the slab for her sins

[frosty topaz]

honestly that would be cool

[barren topaz]

you can't

[cerulean knot]

Understandable she is fkin hot 🔥

[brazen osprey]

prolly lace

[drowsy hazel]

Doesn't exist.

[rich nexus]

tf is low%? i thought it was just any% with glitches

[full dome]

You mean the 3 black markers that have appeared on my screen? She is the first one

[drowsy hazel]

Low% is finishing with lowest possible completion percentage.

[frosty topaz]

yeah lace most likely but a prequle where you play as hollow would be cool

[untold dune]

its when you try to get the lowest completion percent possible

[dull cape]

good luck with that, it makes the fleas fall at inconsistent rates which means more brainpower to hit them, smaller timing windows if they get to ground level, and you have to use a faster crest instead of using the one you like the best.

[steady stratus]

low% is "get as few things as possible"

[rich nexus]

aha

[plucky oar]

Also with the acrobat flea and the hyper fleas those are the only ones where jumping makes it easier

[vagrant python]

im missing masks and spools that i know
but idk what else

[brazen osprey]

ok so once you get those 3 you can then fight the final boss

[rich nexus]

yeah i used wanderer

[restive rivet]

It looks like it requires me to sign up.. is it like the exact detail?

[dull cape]

you would have been done in half the time if you used reaper and didn't jump / upswing

[drowsy hazel]

That's why any% is called any%, you can finish with any percentage of completion.

[dull cape]

but hey, you're done

[hollow forum]

Shaman is probably the best one for juggle

[tall gulch]

Honestly no idea it could be anyone, maybe hornet maybe a different vessel that somehow ended up in a different kingdom, maybe a different higher being entirely or even a common bug

[dull cape]

didn't require me to sign up at all

[hoary laurel]

turns out I cant jump high enough to banish the clawmaidens

[drowsy hazel]

Pablo confirmed already.

[rich nexus]

i mean its so much easier than the rest

[steady stratus]

Shaman is kinda good for flea juggle since the hitbox stays until the projectile disappears. Though it's probably better to just clawline or use beast or something

[rich nexus]

flea dodge doesn't seem consistent to me

[frosty topaz]

i've gotten to repsonses so far but i think lace or hollow would be a candidate

[untold dune]

oh my god the any% glitched is at 10:53m right now what the hell

[hollow forum]

flea bounce is way easier

[frosty topaz]

WAT

[restive rivet]

I'll check on pc later ty

[dull cape]

sent image.

[restive rivet]

Aw hell yes

[hoary laurel]

I REALLY dont have another choice everything else is blocked of by something

[novel dune]

Yeah i spent WAY less time on bounce

[pseudo wagon]

sure you can. if you’re doing hhg without wings what are you even doing

[worn surge]

About how far in the game the ennemy shard they drop become useful?

[hollow forum]

I beat Seth's score in one attempt

[steady flower]

i have aquestion about this Sword VS sword clash I was having with LACE idk what this is CAN YOU CLASh every attack by your own sword?? is that like a parry?

[plucky oar]

I f--king love flea bounce

[vagrant python]

ah yes all crests
i need to do that
i think i have all abilities but i have no idea
i have all nail upgrades and tool/crafting kit
obvioulsy have everbloom
theres only 3 silkhearts right?

[sudden vigil]

how can i get a memory locket in halfway Faydown Cloak less?

[hollow forum]

Whenever you want to start using tools

[rich nexus]

main menu storage also works in silksong?😂

[twin phoenix]

as long as you use tools theyll be always useful

[barren moth]

i need a picture of the joker saying "there are no laws against silk, batman"

[steady flower]

it goes TINKK TINK TINK where your atttack and enemies sword attack hits same time causing a parry maybe

[untold dune]

seems like it

[hoary laurel]

I would get wings if I knew where they were

[brave maple]

yes

[pseudo wagon]

bro I so can’t wait for people to band together to fanmake pablo.
I really mean band together also otherwise we’ll get half a dozen half-baked copies

[frosty topaz]

is this real ?

[steady flower]

how does it work is this viable can i use it for every sword attack

[knotty shell]

actually genuinely how

[barren moth]

3 silk hearts, 7 crests

[rich nexus]

lmao menu storage cannot be stopped i guess

[drowsy hazel]

Yeah, it's from Team Cherry.

[barren topaz]

glitched is very funny

[plucky oar]

Flea Juggle seems impossible but when you understand the strategy it becomes fun and challenging but stupid mistakes can kill your run. Flea dodge feels too RNG dependent. Flea bounce feels like all skill

[brave maple]

Whats the pablo lore

[celest cypress]

BRO HOW MANY FLEAS ARE THERE IN FLEA JJUGGLE I LOST AT 48

[rain socket]

SAVAGE BEASTFLY 2 IS FUCKING EASY I DON'T GET HOW PEOPLE SAY HE'S HARD

[dull cape]

If you are not doing High Halls arena at least this well, what are you even doing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Xy3VQIwhqI&t=16s

[brave maple]

I would totally involve myself with pablo fanmake

[frosty topaz]

why is he just pablo

[drowsy hazel]

It's endless.

[worn surge]

"tools" okay, seems like another thing I missed... I'll have a look

[rain socket]

just use fucking THREAD STORM AND HUNTERS CREST

[plucky oar]

Isn't that enough to win??

[restive rivet]

Goddamn I need to use clawline more holy moly

[celest cypress]

oh

[rich nexus]

it's infinite lol

[bold mango]

OMG this is giving me goosebumps

[untold dune]

i saw this but im waiting for the full tas to come out before getting to see it

[hoary laurel]

I would clap and cheer and then claim to have done all the work

[knotty shell]

when people said this game was full of bugs I though they were making a joke about the characters

[frosty topaz]

wait they just finished silksong

[hollow forum]

I didn't think flea dodge felt too random it just felt like it required extremely quick reaction time

[restive rivet]

It gets better

[novel dune]

the back 90% of this video is discussion/analysis about it, which won't be in the completed run.

[novel dune]

Its / and then it comes up

[untold dune]

fair, i will watch that discussion later

[rich nexus]

do you know where you are?

[bold mango]

Oh I’m sorry, how do I do that

https://tenor.com/view/flight-reacts-shocked-gif-9885796698302419555

[drowsy hazel]

All spoilers are allowed here. If you don't want spoilers, maybe don't come to the literal Silksong discussion channel?

[signal spoke]

Hm did people already leak Silksong dlc stuff? Saw that I am not banking its true

[untold dune]

use || around text and for images theres an option to mark as spoiler before posting

[frosty topaz]

is that a razor on a stick ?

[pseudo wagon]

the strategy is shaman

[brave maple]

it is kind of a bummer that silksongs come out when a sub 30 hk was possible

[plucky oar]

This sequence was one of the very few parts of a video game to make me tear up

[barren topaz]

100% fake

[delicate grotto]

Should I use reapers crest or wanderers crest or architect's crest, im currently using reapers crest and its so good for pogoing and flying enemies and even bosses, but ive heard architect and wanderers is better

[plucky oar]

Hornet baby girl you deserve so much better

[full dome]

Is there a lot of side content in act 3 that is missable?

[brave maple]

I would reckon nothing you see about dlc is true

[restive rivet]

This game would go from 12/10 to 8/10 without chef lugoli and his cake

[barren moth]

completely fake, although i do wonder what program they used to make it because it looks very real

[rich nexus]

we already know what will the dlc contain godhome

[hollow forum]

reaper ftw

[untold dune]

yeah a ton

[pseudo wagon]

they’re all adjacent literally use what you prefer

[brazen osprey]

nope you can always come back after beating the game

[dull cape]

unfortunately if you are not fully complete with silksong, this is not the channel for you. this is a discussion channel so every part of the game will be discussed.

[rich nexus]

theres no way they wont add godhome

[brave maple]

they will add godhome

[dull cape]

they can do a new thing.

[novel dune]

Do you think it will be godhome or something else

[hollow forum]

godhouse

[barren topaz]

at least a boss replayable mode, godhome or not

[restive rivet]

There are only 2 missable bosses which are not required for hunters journal. Everything else is still attainable

[signal spoke]

Good to know, I knew it would not be that, just checking

[brave maple]

i need the old tribes dlc

[signal spoke]

Where was that confirmed?

[rich nexus]

just a different name probably

[dull cape]

they are all great. you should use them all enough to understand how to make them work well, and then you can pick your own favorite. stop trying to min-max.
that said, wanderer's crest is for babies who need easy mode 🙂

[brave maple]

lost coral forest lost shellwood lost skarrdom please happen 🥺🥺🥺

[crystal ledge]

well architect is the best dps in the game with the op tools and wanderer feels really good to use and also really good dps with less focus on tools, reaper is kinda shit but if u wanna use it u can

[rich nexus]

it isnt but 99% chance

[signal spoke]

=_=

[full dome]

ok

[knotty shell]

i payed 20 bucks to play as Hornet not the Knight

[rich nexus]

volt shaman crest is for babies actually

[dull cape]

i paid $40 to play all crests, not 1

[novel dune]

Yeah mechanically but like, will it be in godhome

[plucky oar]

I was gonna say to use the crest that fits your play style but because your bias agrees with my opinion I'm gonna uncritically agree with you

[brave maple]

yall remember fighting mantis lords in hunters march

[barren topaz]

architects is for babies actually

[drowsy hazel]

Why Lost Shellwood?

[lament igloo]

Hot take yall , rosary cannon needs an buff

[brave maple]

because shellwood is one of the old tribes

[drowsy hazel]

Or Lost Skarrdom?

[dull cape]

🙂
#sk-discussion message

[marsh crater]

dude the 2 fat guys in the high halls fight are so annoying man

[rich nexus]

you can kill lost lace with like 10 threadstorms😂

[restive rivet]

Good times tbh, they even made the runback short this time

[crystal ledge]

im sorry that hunters crest isnt working n skarrsinger karmelita

[drowsy hazel]

Shellwood is in the game. Only difference with Lost Shellwood is that there's no haunting.

[brave maple]

because there was a ton of cut skarr content

[brave maple]

We could see a new part of shellwood though

[dull cape]

IMO we should all be using many crests and swapping them based on the challenge

[feral pier]

Hunters crest is great for her wdym

[rich nexus]

i beat her with hunter, why is it not working?

[feral pier]

lol at the same time we sent that

[split cape]

I did theres a family reunion dlc

[brave maple]

And post haunting shellwood is allegedly only a fraction of what it once was due to ||nyleth|| dying

[drowsy hazel]

Maybe, but it would look the same as current Shellwood. Just the platforms and enemies are positioned differently.

[novel dune]

Maybe if you have all the memory lockets

[marsh crater]

https://youtu.be/llLXcr1YMtk?si=zme6EIXTcm7TmrDX

[plucky oar]

So what is Lace's relation in this case, the golden retriever step-aunt?

[novel dune]

But im not going wthout my lc

[stray kayak]

Just defeated Brooding Mother. A bit annoying, but kinda fun once you get the hang of it

[barren moth]

unn and greenpath all over again (except Unn's power just faded, they didnt die)

[crystal ledge]

see i have a large skill issue so for bosses like this i cant dodge like all the attacks so the focus mechanic doesnt really do much and its the main gimmick so its just not worth using over other things for me

[brave maple]

you could have it be more vibrant and it could be larger due to the fact it was likely cut down a lot by the citadel

[split cape]

The knight crushes laces skull

[drowsy hazel]

Yeah, but what's the point of getting a new area that looks the same as an area we already have. Even something like old Bilewater would be better because it would be new.

[dull cape]

nah, tools help but they are not required. and the game lets us choose what colors to use the lockets on so maybe we don't need 3 yellow tools on 1 crest until there's no better option, lol

[crystal ledge]

anyway i gtg so bye

[restive rivet]

But bro we were about to talk about chef lugolis cake no homo

[plucky oar]

I'm fine with Lost Shellwood because base Shellwood has my third favorite musical theme in the game

[brave maple]

old bilewater would also be sick

[feral pier]

I just like that it feels classic. Like it feels like hornets thing I like using it

[chrome folio]

https://tenor.com/view/cogwork-dancers-hollow-knight-hollow-knight-silksong-gif-11351941220971726370

This and clovers are so peak

[toxic slate]

😢

[chrome folio]

I love them so much

[tribal minnow]

I love what people are pulling off in this game. Apparently someone figured a path that soft locks you at the slab

[plucky oar]

Good. She deserves it for being stinky

[mortal lichen]

nah, clover dancers kind of suck

they're barely different from cogwork dancers but now you have an obnoxious runback

[restive rivet]

I saw that and the requirements look so damn annoying to do as a casual player, I hope it becomes an optional setting in the randomizer

[copper condor]

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-hollow-knight-flea-sit-resting-gif-8654430270658626557

[plucky oar]

Don't mind the runback when the music is so sick

[tribal minnow]

Yea this really requires rather insane path to do

[restive rivet]

But they're our favourite gays

[mortal lichen]

the entire game has sick music

[drowsy hazel]

Getting kidnapped before unlocking Bellway?

[mortal lichen]

unfortunately, they were too busy being our favourite gays to have a good bossfight

[copper condor]

Taylor swift got nothing on this

[scarlet saffron]

Christopher Larkin cooked

[marsh crater]

it actually suits hornet's sounds so well lmao

[compact locust]

shakra boss so peak…0

[barren moth]

People have gotten double jump with no clawline and no sharpdart

[copper condor]

Idk if lace is part of the reunion...

[restive rivet]

Fair unfortunately

[pastel aspen]

I might draw a rendition of lost shellwood

[hoary laurel]

mount fay just might be worse than path of pain

https://tenor.com/view/mouth-open-meme-funny-black-guy-mouth-open-meme-black-guy-mouth-meme-gif-14667232777531175562

[drowsy hazel]

Now you can complete the game without Needolin, so freeing Bellhart and defeating Widow is optional now.

[dull cape]

people be like "games are so expensive" and "why isn't silksong on sale"

[brave maple]

ragebait used to be hot

[barren moth]

yup

[plucky oar]

Mount Fay was super fair tbh

[copper condor]

Give Hornet a M249 LMG

[marsh crater]

mount fay was so fun

[prime shuttle]

What do y'all think the dlc will be?

[barren moth]

it isnt.

[copper condor]

Mount fay pretty spiffy

[prime shuttle]

Do y'all think we will get any new areas or quest lines?

[plucky oar]

In fact I think basically all the platforming was fair except pre-balloon cloak Hunter's March but that place is optional anyway

[hoary laurel]

no like POP was just minless platforming this takes actual planning on everything

[dull cape]

are you one of those people that doesn't use clawline even though almost every single platforming spot in the whole game is designed around it

[compact locust]

silksong being 15 bucks is crazy

[shut vector]

Im getting the feeling I jumped over an enemy.

[marsh crater]

we help shakra find her master

[copper condor]

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-bored-wait-lonely-dreamy-gif-9244283054391750250

[hoary laurel]

I do use it tho

[random frost]

What’s the worst crest

[compact locust]

gay.

[copper condor]

Map mommy

[barren moth]

i love cudlil

[wooden tide]

Is Grasshopping still faster than sprinting if you use flew brew and anklets?

[prime shuttle]

Low-key the balloons weren't that hard

[copper condor]

Hunter

[dull cape]

measuer it

[wooden tide]

I hate you

[copper condor]

Why projecting

[shut vector]

I would say twisted crest, but htat is the whole point of it.
Otherwise, I would say Beast or Witch.

[compact locust]

no

[wooden tide]

Im too stupid for that

[drowsy hazel]

Mount Fay actual parkour is really easy though. Also actual planning? You mean just looking at the route? Because there's just one route.

[compact locust]

we’re all gay lets be honest

[plucky oar]

They're not but without a decent way to course correct small mistakes can be punishing

[prime shuttle]

Reaper

[copper condor]

https://tenor.com/view/chihaya-anon-anon-chihaya-bang-dream-bang-dream-its-mygo-bang-dream-its-mygo-episode-12-gif-3930304106434746850

[celest cypress]

i hate fleadodge holy fuck

[marsh crater]

dont you dare

[prime shuttle]

Fair enough

[wooden tide]

He's got a point

[compact locust]

incorrect

[marsh crater]

REAPER IS SO COOL

[plucky oar]

Reaper is great for staying alive which is ultimately my goal

[copper condor]

Uh no
Stop projecting

[random frost]

Can y’all rate my crest build?, architect, Cogflies Bladesaws or what they are called, the boomerang thingy and pollip pouch

[prime shuttle]

The bind ability is useless,i think it has the worst DPS out of any build and the pogo sucks

[marsh crater]

tbh just shit on beast crest atp

[compact locust]

none of the crests are bad
ok but beast is ass

[restive rivet]

Ikr other games dlcs are that much and barely have a fraction of the content

[barren moth]

its definitely beast. The things you can do with it are crazy dont get me wrong, but no blue slots kills it

[dull cape]

sounds like you are referring to "major glitches"

[copper condor]

Spiffy!

[wooden tide]

Reaper is for people who love slow attacks with long range and gaining silk, and hate diagonal pogos. I am the opposite

[prime shuttle]

But what if you stay alive by killing everything before they kill you

[drowsy hazel]

Isn't Beast considered great for bosses?

[compact locust]

i dont care i hate it

[marsh crater]

nah its ass

[sterile snow]

beast has the highest DPS of all crests

[restive rivet]

Melts them like crazy

[prime shuttle]

Doesn't the bind make you do more damage with beast?

[barren moth]

its good for bosses. not great, and its awful everywhere else

[celest cypress]

FUCK FLEA DODGE

[drowsy hazel]

No major glitches, just skipping tech. Unless you consider things like healing in the air or pogoing your cocoon glitches.

[sterile snow]

i wouldn't say beast is awful everywhere else

[dull cape]

when i hear this opinion i only hear someone who didn't manage to implement proper changes to get the value.

[marsh crater]

yeah for like 5.82 seconds

[sterile snow]

hell beast pogo is actually kinda nice for platforming outside of that one spike pillar in shellwood

[restive glade]

Hello, I'm trying to get ||Passing of the age|| achievement. I met ||mister mushroom|| at the last place ||the cradle||. He flew away, didn't get the trophy?

[random frost]

Is pollip pouch Cogflies worth the hype?

[plucky oar]

Reaper is a great all arounder and the only reason people struggle with the pogo is because they're not used to the timing because the pogo is superb

[dull cape]

you're telling me you can get credits without summoning the lace elevator, without glitches?

[prime shuttle]

Better than reaper's borderline useless bind

[compact locust]

in my opinion i cant find use for beast credt

[restive glade]

Yes, the most broken thing ever

[barren moth]

you gotta beat the game after he flies away

[drowsy hazel]

You have to complete the game.

[marsh crater]

it is the second crest we get in the game, its pretty fine for that

[rain otter]

What's the first crest called?

[restive glade]

So kill || Lost Lace ||?

[prime shuttle]

Also being a buzzsaw means you get a 360 degree pogo

[normal summit]

hunter

[restive rivet]

If you see high-level beast play, you'll see why it can be goated. So many enemies can be melted even if they fly, or their attacks avoided cause you're in the air just pogo melting them

[marsh crater]

hunter

[barren moth]

yes

[prime shuttle]

All crests should be useful

[drowsy hazel]

You don't need Needolin to summon Lace elevator.

[restive glade]

Thank you !

[barren moth]

it can definitely be pretty cool. its still the worse crest though

[wooden tide]

The needolin doesnt have to be unlocked for required uses of it. It just lets you play your nonexistent needolin

[sterile snow]

and beast during rage has some REALLY good reach

[marsh crater]

well whichever suits one's playing style

[chrome folio]

I realized that the cogwork dancers don't even attack you. They just dance. They never target where you're at, you just might be in the way when they move. You can't get through without destroying them, but that's not their fault.

[robust solar]

guys how do i make sure not to finish the game on act two?

[prime shuttle]

I use wanderer bc fast attacks

[shut vector]

Im having the feeling I found a bug.
But idk how to reproduce it.

[marsh crater]

ohh

[dull cape]

idk if that's good or bad for rando

[stray kayak]

Cogwork Dancer is such a sad boss

[drowsy hazel]

You don't need it after getting to the Citadel, that is. You need it for the Last Judge and Phantom. So if you go through Wisp Thicket you can skip that.

[dull cape]

no robot sympathy.

[shut vector]

After spending my double jump, Ijumped above an enemy, in what appearsto be a frame perfect move.

[wooden tide]

You go back to before the fight after you win, dont worry

[stray kayak]

I felt so bad 😭

[barren moth]

The 3fold song isnt playing your needolin, its technically different-- it just uses the same button input. So you dont need needolin to beat the game

[plucky oar]

Cogwork Dancers didn't deserve it

[chrome folio]

[prime shuttle]

That thing carried me through the game

[sterile atlas]

ć

[dull cape]

bugs can only be reproduced by bugs

[plucky oar]

And then the entire ||Lost Verdania|| sequence makes it ten times worse

[barren moth]

https://youtu.be/zEzW_ZVor_I

[drowsy hazel]

Cogwork Dancers deserved to die, the Clover Dancers didn't.

[marsh crater]

cogwork dancers were lovers

[dull cape]

cogwork dancers did not die. they are robots.

[stray kayak]

What's our opinions on this guy? Just had to save him for the second time

[plucky oar]

They didn't choose to be made...

[prime shuttle]

Low-key wish we could go back to the dream areas
