[harsh sorrel]

go to the left

[grand kayak]

you need silk soar

[proper rivet]

i have no key

[tawdry sierra]

is this act 2 or act 3

[proper rivet]

idk where the one in the shop went

[harsh sorrel]

you dont dawg i used vog to get the fleas for fleatopia

[grand kayak]

thats ||mr mushroom||

[pseudo wraith]

theres a craftmetal behind you, nothing you can get other than that (except if you are in act 3)

[foggy tapir]

omfg god i get it my nintendo switch i suck ass at this that doesnt mean you have to crash when i die

[harsh sorrel]

oh wait that room you do but not the one they showed on the map

[grand kayak]

sinner's road isnt that bad tbh

[proper rivet]

it is bad for me who 1. is using hunters crest and 2. is ass

[harsh sorrel]

OH THATS ANOTHER PERSON

[atomic ravine]

Btw, talking about trobbio, one of my favorite details in the game is that you can steal his quills

[harsh sorrel]

nvm leave that there

[grand kayak]

hunters crest is one of the best crests in the game

[unkempt burrow]

The purple one is the biggest flex

[frigid glacier]

If you’re struggling just use ||wanderer||

[foggy tapir]

h o w

[elder gale]

Common switch L (← also plays on switch)

[eager topaz]

just got lost lace ending

[marsh crater]

2

[unkempt solstice]

yea arguably the best

[cerulean obsidian]

i js got 3 crowned i need tips (arena 8)

[faint nova]

i was about to get it on nintendo switch but i just got a computer so i dont have to deal with that bull crap

[frigid glacier]

Who else also spoil it

[unkempt burrow]

Spoiler yo messages clanker

[proper rivet]

is that the one with the diaganal slash? if so that makes me die so many fucking times

[pseudo wraith]

its only bad if you get there with 5 or 6 masks with no needle upgrades like most people did on release

[grand kayak]

nah wanderer is actually busted

[elder gale]

hey just an FYI put || around spoilers PLEASE

[atomic ravine]

Like look at it, it looks to cool

[lost gate]

Is ||moving the fleas to fleahaven|| required for act 3?

[grand kayak]

u just gotta get used to it

[foggy tapir]

YOU are a clanker breh

[frigid glacier]

Yes

[proper rivet]

my key disappeared

[grand kayak]

hi i went there with 6 masks and no needle upgrades on release
it was fine

[lost gate]

That's a task for another day

[frigid glacier]

Literally how..

[proper rivet]

im trying

[unkempt burrow]

Sounds like a clanker thing to say

[elder gale]

I ate it sorry :(

[pseudo wraith]

dang really i got absolutely mauled by the muckroaches 😭

[tawdry sierra]

soeaking of clankers
heres my clanker tier list

[grand kayak]

i did sinner's road in act 1 lol, i damn near found phantom before last judge but i never figured out mist

[atomic ravine]

dont buy a quill for a long time. You can get a red one on the right of ||The Stage|| where his presentation-thingy is written during act 2 and the purple one if you hold out until ||Act 3||

[proper rivet]

its not in my shop or in my inv and none of the doors are open

[unkempt burrow]

Fire

[frigid glacier]

||Cogwork dancers lowkey got me in my feels ||

[timid acorn]

if u are struggling with the pogos there just get reaper

[proper rivet]

wait

[brittle elbow]

i thought hunter's crest was gonna be as snappy as spectre knight's mid-air slashes but those startup frames and steep angle throw me off too bad
beast pogo's better, the way it's so horizontal in a way that almost feels homing lets you ignore it having an even worse startup

[elder gale]

Based and accurate !!!

[frigid glacier]

Damn well

[grand kayak]

Respectable

[proper rivet]

i think i used it for a flea once

[tawdry sierra]

reaper is just wanderers with better silk generation, slower speed and longer range

[frigid glacier]

I can’t help with that

[proper rivet]

damn

[atomic ravine]

How is this guy not S tier, look at him, he is just a little guy

[elder gale]

The better range makes it better for platforming imo

[ivory blaze]

trobbio!!

[faint nova]

bro sherma

[unkempt burrow]

His larger brother pisses me off

[grand kayak]

Fun fact: Wanderer still has better silk generation than reaper as the attack speed actually outpaces the extra silk you get binding with reaper

[tawdry sierra]

how is he there

[frigid glacier]

I really dislike ||reaper||. It just feels SO bad for me

[elder gale]

Everyone s tier or above is a friend, that is just a guy

[grand kayak]

Reaper is mathematically the worst crest in the game

[timid acorn]

yes so you agree its better for pogo in random areas because it has double the range of wanderer

[tawdry sierra]

it just exists ig

[unkempt burrow]

Hunter is my favorite, I like witch but the focus is goofy af

[tawdry sierra]

yea
thats the only thing that reaper is better at than wanderers

[timid acorn]

like yeah?

[elder gale]

It's got a goated passive and an ass moveset

[tawdry sierra]

many bosses move around alot so i never used witch crest

[faint nova]

idk i was messing around with mods and i think i released the bell beast to early

[onyx plinth]

how the hell do you beat ||groal||

[grand kayak]

again, the passive is also ass
the attack speed is so slow that wanderer still generates more

[atomic ravine]

I didnt like witch at first but i love the focus

[proper rivet]

where?

[unkempt burrow]

Same I just love the pogo on it though

[faint nova]

spam tools

[gusty marlin]

Tips on getting 100 on flea dodge?

[brittle elbow]

reaper souls not homing towards you and being unable to facetank coz it dispels the reaper buff immediately
so bad

[frigid glacier]

The range might be better but ||wanderer|| has more potential 💔

[timid acorn]

greymoor

[atomic ravine]

the idea of a dmg nuke on heal is so fun, put the 2 mirrors and BAM!

[tranquil wigeon]

I was expecting something more like this when I heard Tormented Trobbio

[rich pagoda]

I honestly prefer Hunter for platforming. It's nice, it's consistent.

[brittle elbow]

should've just had the reaper souls fly towards other enemies to deal more damage or smth

[heavy wraith]

||am i supposed to be revisiting the whole map during act 3? I feel like I could be missing out on more upgrades or abilities.||

[grand kayak]

if you're using reaper for vertical pogo or silk generation, use wanderer
if you're using reaper for attack reach, use architect

[gusty marlin]

Reaper is peak tho?

[tawdry sierra]

the dialogue seems intentional tho

[onyx plinth]

ran out of shards

[tranquil wigeon]

Especially in act 3 where|| everything is over come by void.||

[unkempt burrow]

Yall think there will be that monarch crest in dlc?

[grand kayak]

the upswing 🥀

[timid acorn]

is that his moustache or his eyes

[foggy tapir]

of course you ship lace and hornet

[atomic ravine]

There is a ton to find in act 3, idk if the whole map, but there are missable stuff

[gusty marlin]

Yes, along with hollow knight (tiny) boss fight and gauntlet of pharloom

[rich pagoda]

Wdym upswing? Nothing wrong with it

[timid acorn]

its more fun too

[frigid glacier]

||Progress through the story first.. there will be something that will let you see your missing stuff ||

[proper rivet]

does is require a simple key?

[unkempt burrow]

Average bug shipper

[timid acorn]

no

[elder gale]

Only if ur getting consistent hits with wanderer
Considering bosses move around a lot and you can usually only get one to two hits in in a row, reaper generates more silk

Not saying reaper is good tho lmao

[proper rivet]

good

[foggy tapir]

ship the second sentinel with the fourth chorus 🔥

[unkempt burrow]

That would be a funny boss fight

[faint nova]

i love having a computer now.( i can mod games)

[unkempt burrow]

Hell yes

[grand kayak]

oh it takes some practice for sure but you underestimate just how much faster wanderer can hit

[timid acorn]

what happened o the first sentinel

[grand kayak]

ded

[unkempt burrow]

My goat

[frigid glacier]

Plus the passive on ||wanderer|| is insane if you get lucky

[alpine bronze]

I just beat || Clover Dancers || and now I wanna cry

[elder gale]

That is true loll I do believe you

[foggy tapir]

second sentinel and the twelfth architect

sewelth sentitect

[frigid glacier]

I shredded a boss with it

[full halo]

I don’t like replaying games I’m replaying silksong rn but the no upgrades life sucks early game silksong is ehhh

[gusty marlin]

Such a fun boss fight ngl

[grand kayak]

dont forget magnetite dice for that 0.1% buff

[unkempt burrow]

All sentinels x 12 architect

[alpine bronze]

True, but it made my depression flare up

[frigid glacier]

I STILL DONT UNDERSTAND THE USE FOR THAT ALSO IT ||0.2||

[rich pagoda]

Hunter is a great and fun all-rounder. Also for any issues with the upswing which I have none?
Just jump and upswing. It's been a valid strategy since HK.

[foggy tapir]

of sadness or of grief from dying so much

[unkempt burrow]

They done added random crits tf2 to silksong 😭

[gusty marlin]

Pretty sure they reunited at the end so why cry about it?

[elder gale]

Yeah, 0.1 is nothing but 0.2 is where it's at

[proper rivet]

but do we all at least dislike sinners road at least? idk i fuckin hate the guys who throw projectiles, they kinda screw me over. and the maggot water

[frigid glacier]

Yep it’s SOOO helpful 🤑

[gusty marlin]

Twelfth Chorus when?

[wide zephyr]

bosses based on difficulty
feel free to debate

[grand kayak]

You see we don't hate sinner's road because bilewater exists

[rich pagoda]

I hate Sinner's Road
I am the biggest Sinner's Road hater.

[low pagoda]

beast crest best crest

[proper rivet]

i never said hate, just dislike

[feral bramble]

guys how can i get this quest? (ive got all the fleas)

[alpine bronze]

Just the story coming to a close and how far Verdian fell. It hurt to think about and made me sad

[tawdry sierra]

unraveled aint that hard brah

[grand kayak]

idk i like sinner's road i think it was a cool region and i really like the platforming there

[frigid glacier]

Do not forget ||putrid ducts || 🫩

[grand kayak]

also it uses maggot water at least somewhat sparingly instead of bilewater where its fucking everywhere

[foggy tapir]

snitch pick is so peak guys

[wide zephyr]

you go to bellhart i believe and theres a quest there

[proper rivet]

wellp guess im ass then 🤷🏼

[grand kayak]

meh putrified ducts has wreath of purity

[rich pagoda]

I hate Sinner's Road purely because of the stupid roaches that are a garbage annoying enemy.

[feral bramble]

its not.. thats why i asked in video there is also quest in bellhart but i dont have it

[frigid glacier]

Yeah but like would you actually use that

[wide zephyr]

r u in act 3?

[grand kayak]

they are annoying to fight but thankfully not that hard to avoid

[eager topaz]

so the delicate flower p5 ending was the canon ending for HK?

[raw brook]

For anyone wondering how to unlock ||Act 3||, I made a document with the requirements I noticed on my playthrough.

[proper rivet]

yeah, those guys and the throwing star guys

[feral bramble]

ofc

[dark fern]

i did ||the unwravelled|| in act 2 pre-||lace 2|| and can say with confidence that it is harder than ||groal||

still haven't beaten ||carm|| yet

[unkempt burrow]

Hornet Plasmium chug challenge when

[grand kayak]

i use it whenever i need to go to that side of the map lol

[timid acorn]

for me last judge and moorwing would be at A

[grand kayak]

its so goated

[shrewd terrace]

After several deaths, ||I finally finished the Greymoor gauntlet. Those birds are annoying...||

[frigid glacier]

||That boss was easy I beat it first try wdym?||

[steep cloud]

yall which game should i play after silksong (for all of you who says i might want to steel soul the game no i want to take a break?)

[meager nexus]

Tormented trobbio

[tawdry sierra]

clearwater stilkin

[grand kayak]

nine sols

[proper rivet]

OMG I HATE THOSE BIRDS

[shrewd terrace]

Something casual like Papers Please?

[wide zephyr]

yeah but without much upgrades it can be a pain

[steep cloud]

thanks

[shrewd terrace]

I think I counted 17 deaths.

[dark fern]

i suffered
~15 minutes in i beat the boss but died to a lingering attack
took me another half hour to win again

[grand kayak]

unravelled isnt hard its just very tanky

[unkempt burrow]

I hope there will be triple jump

[shrewd terrace]

All that's left is the ||Moorwing||.

[frigid glacier]

I actually didn’t have much upgrades and only used my nail for it

[foggy tapir]

guys i got a idea for a trinket

[grand kayak]

there's even better than triple jump

||vertical cdash||

[proper rivet]

i eventualy gave up on the arena, i'll go back sometime tho cause i really need ||threadstorm||

[rich pagoda]

I just really hate that damn long room with 4 of them on the ground and 2 Roachkeepers on the upper path that requires some platforming to get between each section.

In Act 1, the roaches each take iIrc 4 hits to kill. They're awful and they swarm you if you fall. Which is likely because the Roachkeepers can just choose to ledge camp with their whip attack

[feral bramble]

BRUH, the quest just appeared...

[tawdry sierra]

hollow knight 😱

[frigid glacier]

This brings me back to ||last judge|| but she didn’t get me because I’m not dumb and she’s just a stupid bitch ❤️

[wide zephyr]

sorry sir not everyone is a god gamer like u

[shrewd terrace]

I actually got it after ||I beat the gauntlet. All that's left is to get the cling grip.||

[unkempt burrow]

Can’t wait for a mod that adds the knight

[foggy tapir]

who wanna hear my trinket idea

[raw brook]

Are there any areas of this game that don’t have a boss besides ||Mount Fay||?

[grand kayak]

after doing the quest to hunt them in act 1 got used to them tbh

[elder gale]

Go for it man

[shrewd terrace]

Hornet skin mod, I reckon. (Give it a month or two, and people would be putting tons of mods.)

[wide zephyr]

i think putrified ducts? correct me if im wrong

[frigid glacier]

Heh.. yeah that’s right.. I just got all of the endings

[grand kayak]

putrified ducts

[proper rivet]

yeah, ||sister splinter|| took me a good bit but i got it eventually

[shrewd terrace]

Just wish me luck. Silksong's actually tougher than HK. 😅

[raw brook]

Interesting, I would’ve thought there’d be one there

[grand kayak]

wormways hasn't got a boss either unless you count plasmified zango

[wide zephyr]

epic i got 112% on hk beat p5 and 100% silksong with all endings cant wait for dlc brooo

[proper rivet]

yep

[foggy tapir]

what if magnetite brooch, but for shell shards.
the shell shards will gravitate towards you when you bind, its a medium sized vicinity however

[frigid glacier]

Majority of the bosses took me 1-3 tries

[faint nova]

ONE MORE!!!!!!

[shrewd terrace]

Should I go for a modded experience, or pure vanilla?

[frigid glacier]

ME TOO IM WAITING FOR DLC

[raw brook]

I do

I ask because I’m trying to make a OC based on a cicada

[rich pagoda]

I don't mind them 1 on 1 but when there's more than 1, I say some words that are more foul than the maggot water. That room takes me at least 5 minutes to clear safely if I wanted to not risk things with the roach swarm

[brittle elbow]

modded. unless you're a speedrunner or smth.

[shrewd terrace]

I just want to make the most experience in Silksong.

[brittle elbow]

im waiting for randomizer

[foggy tapir]

oh and the shell shards can do a little bit of damage if an enemy comes into contact with them while the silk picks them up

if you got any synergy ideas let me know

[wide zephyr]

i hope they add like a part of hollownest after the events of hk cuz i would pay for that

[grand kayak]

styx gauntlet🥀

[terse stone]

why is that not a part of the magnetite brooch lmao, there’s no good reason for it

[shrewd terrace]

Co-Op mod, though... 👀

[grand kayak]

well the needolin does access memories so..

[uncut bolt]

i just killed your sister

[frigid glacier]

Yeah ikr the ||memories|| gave me so much nostalgia

[raw brook]

I’d say pure vanilla, but definitely try to unlock ||Act 3||

[shrewd terrace]

GUYS! I think I may have an idea for a Hornet skin for a possible skin mod.

[somber carbon]

TC I NEED TO BE ABLE TO REPLAY THE PHANTOM FIGHT PLEASE ADD GODHOME

[brittle elbow]

there already is. there's also soul-link (one dies, both die)
there's also co-op with shade knight from hk.

[somber carbon]

congrats on beating the best fight in the game

[proper rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/war-vietnam-ptsd-shell-shock-moment-gif-3022747568394546158

[foggy tapir]

are shell shards made of metal?

[deft coyote]

dlc on halloween

[grand kayak]

they are made of shell

[somber carbon]

i mean the rosaries seem to be made from clay tbh

[rich pagoda]

Not there yet. But I might have gone through Sinner's Road to get to Act 2 if that room wasn't so vile.

[wide zephyr]

||red memory was so peak i was in awe when i saw the elevator with the spikes on top nostalgia fr||

[shrewd terrace]

No shot?

[terse stone]

… you know, that’s completely fair, doesn’t mean it’s not annoying

[rancid flare]

THAT WAS THE COOLEST ESCAPE SEQUENCE EVER WTF

[frigid glacier]

I instantly tried to pogo off of it idk why 😭

[grand kayak]

red memory was so cool it got me SO pumped for the final boss

[wide zephyr]

muscle memory

[celest fractal]

At lost lace, this reminds me of when I spent several days fighting the radiance, several hours apart every day.

All of the tentacle attacks are actually insufferable but other than that, cool boss. Hopefully won't take me quite as long as the radiance

[brittle elbow]

oh yea nvm it's just visual, the other hornet can't affect your game

unless you install soul-link of course.

[wide zephyr]

baby hornet

[shrewd terrace]

I'm still at ||Greymoor. I just got the threadstorm. The bird gauntlet is so annoying! The birds move like mosquito larvae.||

[grand kayak]

[rain tiger]

I’m just a bebeh 🥺

[proper rivet]

[frigid glacier]

Flashbacks to when I was doing the radiance and it took me 2 hours 🥹

[brittle elbow]

https://tenor.com/view/dragon-ball-dragon-ball-z-gogeta-shut-up-never-speak-again-gif-4325222744100899233

[raw brook]

Yeah, the Craws suck to fight. I’d recommend using ||Sting Shard|| and some other crowd controlling ||Tools||. Also, definitely get ||Warding Bell|| if you haven’t already

[wide zephyr]

bro radiance took me like maybe 10 min absrad took me 3 days ong

[frigid glacier]

STOPPPP 😭

[urban mulch]

I just beat steel heart

[shrewd terrace]

Wait... ||Sting Shard?||

[grand kayak]

why did you spoiler tools lol

[frigid glacier]

Fr fr

[shrewd terrace]

Oh... Well, I used the ||Straight pins.||

[proper rivet]

i think thats smth you can buy from those big smithers

[wide zephyr]

mainly because you had to beat every boss before fighting it

[raw brook]

Oh, nvm then

[shrewd terrace]

I haven't bought one of those yet.

[frigid glacier]

1 hour buildup and if you fail you have to do it over again

[wide zephyr]

torture

[proper rivet]

me neither

[shrewd terrace]

I'm short in ||ROSARIES!||

[frigid glacier]

It was more than that 💔

[proper rivet]

YES

WHY PHARLOOM WHY

[celest fractal]

All of the double damage attacks in quick succession is very annoying though

Also unrelated to the boss but is anybody else experiencing input lag?? I genuinely don't knoow if its misinput on my part but I swear on my life sometimes I'll turn around or hold down + attack and just.. Not perform the move, or swing in the wrong direction even though I was moving in the correct direction

This is an issue I've kinda just dealt with the entire game though, not related to any boss, just mostly gotten used to it, its just become very prevalent in lost lace because of the fuckin 20 inputs a second by 2nd and 3rd phase I have to perform.

[shrewd terrace]

I don't want to brag, ||but I'm cracked in straight pin throws.||

[brittle elbow]

best anti-air aside from shakrams

[floral kindle]

Try turning off vsynch

[raw brook]

Nice! I tend to use the triple dagger variant

[celest fractal]

ok

[shrewd terrace]

I may have found some ways to get some more ||beads, but they're time-consuming.||

[proper rivet]

honestly the strategy i found for ||widow|| phase 2 was actualy kinda funny when i was doing it

[raw brook]

I still use them, I really like throwing them before the boss appears and okizemeing them

[frigid glacier]

Hush and play architect and spam those bugs

[silent tangle]

havent experienced it in combat but while platforming sometimes the jump input is very delayed. turn of vsync and try doing it

[foggy tapir]

guys i got a question does the claw mirror work for craft bind?

[austere cliff]

if you feel like you need 20 inputs a second for lost lace, that goes away as you get more familiar with her move set. you actually don't need to move as much as it seems at first

[stark shuttle]

Is mother silk a really easy boss? I beat her in like 3rd attempt

[wide zephyr]

wonderers crest with flea brew go brrr

[grand kayak]

yes

[silent tangle]

every boss tbh. you can beat a lot of bosses with minial movement

[tawdry sierra]

wtf do u mean silksong is alrd 1 month old

[grand kayak]

gms needs buffing xd

[floral kindle]

Tc tries to alleviate input lag by arbitratily jacking up fps, just like they did with hk

[celest fractal]

Do you mean wanderer? Architect isn't spammable I don't think

[frigid glacier]

I main wanderer but if the boss is too hard I pull out architect and rapid fire that notch into the ground

[grand kayak]

There's a lot of bosses where you can stand completely still and they take longer to hit you than you'd think

[celest fractal]

or oh you mean tools

[frigid glacier]

OH IT VERY MUCH IS 😭 💔

[shrewd terrace]

There's a tool for ||extended needle range, ya?||

[brittle elbow]

lol same
i wish tacks were as good, they kinda... there's probably 3 flying mobs for every 1 non-flier

also what fighting game do you play lmao (guilty gear?)

[celest fractal]

oh lol

[silent tangle]

yes really easy. cursed ending is why i think she was made a bit too easy but even so for cursed ending i beat her 1st try

[viscid ledge]

Yes

[wide zephyr]

yeah longclaw

[proper rivet]

getting that ||pouch that lets you keep some of your rosaries|| is honestly so good

[shrewd terrace]

I always refer to them as "charms".

[celest whale]

Dude why lost garmond so hard 😭 😭 😭

[dusty seal]

when will the first dlc probably come out

[frigid glacier]

Do you wanna like know the game plan for it or nah

[silent tangle]

truth

[celest whale]

Next yr

[viscid ledge]

You might be going too aggressive or greedy

[grand kayak]

bosses shouldnt be balanced around an optional lategame challenge

[wide zephyr]

i beat him first try every void being has like the same attacks

[austere cliff]

lost lace's 6 bomb toss is a good example. after a while, you'll just kinda know whether or not you even need to move out of the way. a lot of times, you barely need to move for that move

[silent tangle]

another truthnuke

[floral kindle]

Don't rush him

[past igloo]

should i fight the last judge or the other person first?

[raw brook]

SSBU, UNI2, AoCF, SF6, DBFZ, UMvC3, etc

[shrewd terrace]

Every time ||I have extra rosaries, I always bundle them in my inventory, just in case I get wasted by those unwanted birds.||

[frigid glacier]

Last judge

[silent tangle]

you can fight them both. do whatever you like first

[celest whale]

Should i go Architect with 3 red tools and pollip?

[past igloo]

it’s so hard to get through the windy place

[silent tangle]

lj is easier yes

[thick wave]

I just beat the two gay bugs let’s go

[brittle elbow]

i have no idea what those first 3 are you just said 💀

[celest fractal]

I think changing crests right now would throw me off too much, im going to continue with v-sync off and if it still doesen't work maybe change crests or go look for another mask shard to complete another mask

[wide zephyr]

i fought phantom first

[frigid glacier]

The run back was not that bad for me so idk 😭

[oak sail]

HOW BEAT STUPID BILE WATER BOSS

[dusty seal]

🔥

[silent tangle]

LJ runback overhated

[dapper bloom]

Does lost garmond give anything

[celest whale]

Phantom feels more... Heavy

[wide zephyr]

clawline and pogo go brrrr

[viscid ledge]

Whatever works for ya, just treat it like an actual boss and don’t rush in recklessly

[shrewd terrace]

||That + Wanderer's crest = Hollow Knight. (I'm not hating on the Hunter's crest, don't get me wrong, but the angle of its pogo is confusing at times. Especially when you try to parkour, or escape||

[grand kayak]

most people dont have clawline for last judge

[rich pagoda]

I agree. So far I have found that you can really slow down in most boss fights. It's not a frantic rush constantly lol. I stand by Last Judge being a test of nerves. Because while she is kinda fast, you don't have to move much to dodge her and you don't have to move frantically either

[dusty seal]

let him eat you, hit him while in his mouth, then heal. try getting safe hits in when not eaten.

[celest whale]

People who complain have only had it run back 2-4 times

[frigid glacier]

Well you don’t get Clawline that early but with just the pogo it was pretty easy

[silent tangle]

yeah and just when you think you have a punish window she counters within 1-2 hits

[wide zephyr]

wait fr 0;

[oak sail]

Do you get silk when in his mouth?

[grand kayak]

clawline is in citadel

[brittle elbow]

ohhhhh smash, of course. it's weird to see it abbreviated that hard.
under night in birth 2... and uh a touhou game idk about??

[dusty seal]

yes

[silent tangle]

true

[wide zephyr]

i did phantom first so last judge was like a side mission for me XD

[dusty seal]

you rarely dont get silk from things

[frigid glacier]

What crest are you using for this boss

[uncut bolt]

i am disappointed in myself

She’s a main mission so the cutest caravan in the world can progress

[grand kayak]

yeah try doing last judge with 6 masks, barely any tools and 1 nail upgade lol

[celest fractal]

How many other bosses would I have beaten easier with this off

[silent tangle]

baby hornet part was the best section in the game

[shrewd terrace]

Welp. I gotta go kill the Moorwing. Wish me luck, dudes and dudettes. And have fun! 👋

[brittle elbow]

wow a fighting game where everyone is flying, that's dope.

[frigid glacier]

Idk try playing airborne

[grand kayak]

Moorwing got nerfed HARD its really easy now

[wide zephyr]

i think phantom was harder anyway

[raw brook]

Yeah, the thing is divided into 3 lanes; and is team-based.

[vivid belfry]

the only thing that got nerfed is the projectile damage

[wide zephyr]

tru i was lazy with the fleas so i had already defeated judge by then

[vivid belfry]

I think you just got good at the game

[viscid ledge]

Wasn’t the only nerf the saws
He’s pretty easy anyway once you learn you can just dash forward depending on which saw attack

[wide zephyr]

bapanada

[frigid glacier]

||I would of beaten that boss first try if I wasn’t coming back from getting the witch crest ||

[rich pagoda]

That is what I did and she wasn't that bad. I feel like Judge highly punishes frantic, twitchy movement and aggressive playstyles.

[silent tangle]

fuck flea dodge

[grand minnow]

hey can you get ||kidnapped and stripped at the slab|| even after act 2 has started?? this is very important i need to know

[vivid belfry]

how the fuck do you put off moorwing for that long

[thick wave]

Chat what are good tools I should look for to unlock || tge architect crest||

[wide zephyr]

XD

[raw brook]

Have the ||Flea Caravan|| usurp the arena

[vivid belfry]

as long as you haven't been there or killed all the wardens

[grand minnow]

YESSS

[brittle elbow]

i havent yet fought lost moorwing, shakra and regular garmond

[grand minnow]

im escaping the slab naked.

[raw brook]

Lost Moorwing?

[grand kayak]

i have a very aggressive playstyle xd
problem is especially in phase 2 the move where she throws the bell is REALLY hard to dodge if you're near her

[viscid ledge]

You can actually skip moorwing line that? That’s so funny

[frigid glacier]

||Tacks and those flying bugs. Maybe even the vial and the electric rods ||

[brittle elbow]

oh wait no, is it lost beastfly?

[raw brook]

Yeah, you just re-fight him later as an optional boss

[wide zephyr]

i just pogo on that part like a hk boss

[silent tangle]

take the bench in greymoor and run west, he should spawn above where the bellbeast drops you

[frigid glacier]

Just run past him. He’s pretty slow and the doors aren’t locked

[vivid belfry]

yes they are

[raw brook]

I hate this attack too. It’s this and the spinny one when I’m against the wall

[real spindle]

The only thing that made the fight hard were the 2 damage projectiles

[vivid belfry]

at least the door to bellhart

[wide zephyr]

magma bel

[viscid ledge]

I just can’t believe moorwing goes his way out to hunt hornet, but the moment the caravan moves in he’s all cowardly
Maybe the fleas are hiding something
:p

[grand kayak]

spinny one isnt too bad just avoid getting backed up against a wall

[frigid glacier]

When in doubt.. start pogoing 🥹 ✌️

[wide zephyr]

so true

[weary gorge]

I just did it with 5 masks on a gameboy lol

[proper rivet]

have you beat ||widow|| yet? if not i can tell you a really good strat for phase 2

[real spindle]

Talking about moorwing

[coarse kelp]

jesus

[raw brook]

Maybe…

[weary gorge]

TLJ fight on gameboy

[raw brook]

I agree. Ironically enough, I was only able to beat ||Last Judge|| by being as aggressive as possible and switching to Wanderer.

[frigid glacier]

They mainly only have one jump attack so after you pogo you just go to the side and wait them out. The strat is so easy to pull off it’s NOT funny 😭

[austere cliff]

are we comparing last judge and phantom? phantom felt much more forgiving and p3 felt kinda free compared to earlier parts

[coarse leaf]

i think it's funny that if you play the ||bell beast melody|| inside the|| cog core|| they can't come get you cause the ground is all ||cogs and stuff||

[rich pagoda]

Ahhh
Yeah I don't have an aggressive playstyle. My problem bosses are usually the ones that force me to play aggressively by creating targets (ads, hazards) that require some diverting of my attention to deal with. Ex: Collector AB walled me in HK and still does because the only way through him is countering my entire previous playstyle.

[grand kayak]

i cant wait to see silksong on an oscilloscope

[shrewd terrace]

No, not yet. ||I'm just exploring the area for some goods.|| (Just as you pinged me, I got swiped by the ||Moorwing||. 😭)

[wide zephyr]

pogo is best skill in hkss history

[serene marsh]

is this through streaming or is the game boy a little pc like a steam deck or something?

[dusty seal]

[full halo]

Remember when people thought HK and SS were the same size

[grand kayak]

i think that's why i first tried first sinner, its a boss that punishes playing defensively

[real spindle]

I would definitely say TLJ is harder yeah, Last Judge has higher multi- hit potential especially with the fire effects

[frigid glacier]

Brings me back to the hollow knight fight (HE RARELY JUMPS 🥀)

[rich pagoda]

Also GPZ took hours to figure out consistent strategies for me

[proper rivet]

lol, you wanna hear the strat? its the only reason i didnt get stuck on her for even longer lol

[coarse leaf]

and this is before any dlcs

[dusty seal]

cant wait for pantheon of pharloom

[candid plover]

Haloooo

[wide zephyr]

i think you can literally do nothing that bossfight and the hk will just stab himself easiest final boss ngl

[coarse leaf]

phantom + lace duo

[full halo]

Would Ori be fun for a HK enjoyer?

[dusty seal]

i like this idea

[shrewd terrace]

I already ||watched the cheese of it, but I have to see if I can beat it without cheese.||

[grand kayak]

Yes
It's a lot easier than HK and has more of an exploration/platforming focus

[wide zephyr]

i loved it and blasphemous is really good

[proper rivet]

i see then

[candid plover]

yes, Silksong was influenced by

[frigid glacier]

Right like I 2nd tried that boss and I was like “this is the second to last boss?”

[normal summit]

ori and the blind forest? yes

[wide zephyr]

so tru

[vivid belfry]

it basically doesn't have combat but the platforming is good

[proper rivet]

good luck!

[past igloo]

i think i’m going the wrong way

[candid plover]

Silksong is smorgusborg of influences fro other games

[normal summit]

the 2nd game has combat tho

[vivid belfry]

that's true

[grand kayak]

If you're going from hollow knight to ori i'd play on hard cus ori is a lot easier than HK

[normal summit]

1st game was platforming only

[full halo]

Oh no combat is a deal breaker for me

[grand kayak]

It does have combat

[normal summit]

this is very true

[frigid glacier]

My fighting style is so inconsistent. Like sometimes I’m very aggressive and sometimes I’m very defensive. It all depends on what works the best tbh

[lusty acorn]

I feel like Blue Tools are just weaker than Charms in general

[grand kayak]

Combat in the first game is just very simple

[candid plover]

yeah, I think you bounce off them or soeething

[grand kayak]

Bashing and wisp fire

[full halo]

can I just play the sequel and skip first game

[rich pagoda]

I'll have to see that one when I get there but Idk. The bosses in HK that walled me the most aren't the usual ones apparently. Apparently PV and NKG are hard but I eat those for breakfast. Markoth too. But I crumple into dust if you ask me to play against Collector AB or GPZ AB. I can't.

[dusty seal]

yes

[grand kayak]

I'd recommend playing the first but you can skip it afaik

[scarlet laurel]

i keep dying on the last few waves of coral tower 😭
today wasn’t my day, this part of the game tarnished my already bad playtime. i gotta beat it tomorrow

[candid plover]

ori is really beautiful and escape sequences are peak

[real spindle]

For some, yea, but then you have monsters like pollip pouch and injector band

[dusty seal]

the first game's 112% is a tutorial for silksong

[grand kayak]

It's a lot shorter than hk too so i think its worth at least checking out

[full halo]

graphics look peak

[normal summit]

you can but you will simply missed an entire great lore

[prime oak]

The Citadel eliminated all my Rosaries + Bone Shards problem

[vivid belfry]

there are several blue tools that are straight upgrades of analogous charms

[grand kayak]

ehh P5 is harder than anything in silksong

[lusty acorn]

Pollip Pouch is 4 damage lmao

[dusty seal]

you only need P1-P3 for 112%

[real spindle]

On every hit from a tool

[full halo]

ok what’s a metroidvania that has peak bosses and combat like hk

[grand kayak]

P1-P4

[frigid glacier]

I’m so glad I did path of pain before silksong. It prepared me for a lot of stuff 🥹

[dusty seal]

oh alright

[rich pagoda]

Pantheon 4 is a % yea

[grand kayak]

P5 is an ending not a %

[candid plover]

I did the Abyss escape sequence last night, and it was peak. Reminds me of Ori

[real spindle]

Not a metroidvania but mega man zero 3

[vivid belfry]

1. Nine Sols
2. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

in that order

[austere cliff]

too bad we dont have anything like fury of the fallen, that might be my only complaint. or lack of quick slash for other crests

[tawdry sierra]

i wish i could remove my silksong knowledge n play it from the start again

[candid gyro]

i disagree tbh. Besides the unbreakable charms and quickslash, blues are pretty on par with HK charms, in many cases better (baldur's shell and thorns of agony COMBINED are a joke compared to warding bell for example)

[full halo]

There’s no platforming in silksong harder than path of pain imo

[frigid glacier]

Yeah I know but at the beginner that down attack was atrocious

[grand kayak]

we joke about it but seriously nothing in silksong comes even close to path of pain

[wide zephyr]

i need to actually beat 9 sols and stop procrastinating it

[dusty seal]

def not

[rich pagoda]

It's worth it though.

[vivid belfry]

barbed bracelet, flea brew

[candid plover]

I think I'm going to do path of pain now that I'm a platformign god since I have the Silksong badge

[full halo]

I have it but it’s not optimized for switch runs so bad

[wide zephyr]

we need a pantheon in silksong

[wide zephyr]

i just got hades 2 on swithc (:

[frigid glacier]

I need pantheon and a path of pain platformer section

[dusty seal]

colosseum of fools felt like child's play after beating silksong

[grand kayak]

1.0 cogwork core and the surface are the only platforming challenges i had any difficulty with and they are not even remotely close to PoP

[candid gyro]

they're 100% gonna add something of that difficulty in a dlc, but it's worth noting that a lot of the platforming is just way easier because of Hornet's movement. Imagine going through sinner's road with TK's movement, you'd shit yourself

[wide zephyr]

path of pain wasnt really that hard

[full halo]

Picked up hades 1 yesterday and idk what the hell is goin on but we roll

[dusty seal]

i really want pantheons so that i will be challenged

[real spindle]

Well at least HK has specific builds that give you infinite attempts on platforming sections, once SS gets its own path of pain it will actually be pain

[grand kayak]

as a celeste player, PoP took me like. 45 minutes lol

[wide zephyr]

masterpiece of a game bro

[pallid veldt]

tried playing hollowknight again, i miss sprint

[vivid belfry]

heroin addict hornet:

[marble swift]

Hey where’s the Druid at? I’m in act 3 but have been looking for him for ages since I have the quest done

[candid plover]

doesn't look like it, but it's so long, so repeating if mistakes. ...

[grand kayak]

there are celeste maps that have taken me 12+ hours

[civic skiff]

:)

[dusty seal]

what point would the section serve

[full halo]

yeah but going from hollow knight to hades feels weird idk why I’m doing never ending gauntlets 😭

[wide zephyr]

it took me like 40 min no deaths

[frigid glacier]

Yeah it was actually pretty fun, I just want it because hornet has like 10 different movement abilities

[dusty seal]

hes like at the top near the silk spear weaver thing

[real spindle]

Idk, maybe a % or nothing like PoP

[grand kayak]

i died to the kingsmoulds x.x

[pallid veldt]

what phone?

[proper rivet]

them flowers may be horrid, but not as bad as PoP

[marble swift]

Gotcha. Thanks 🙏

[rich pagoda]

Same here. I'm good at the platforming lol.
I'm still working on getting 7A Gold. Slowly but surely. I have very lofty goals of eventually doing Chapter 9 Gold.

[full halo]

how much % did the first hk dlc add to the game?

[grand kayak]

liquid lacquer can go die though

[civic skiff]

Samsung m14 5g 6gb ram 128gb rom

[wide zephyr]

when your near death hanging on to 1 mask of hiveblood and you fall into the arena

[grand kayak]

2% i think?

[dusty seal]

i did too

[frigid glacier]

I was about to crash out because I WAS not ready 💔

[mortal bluff]

Do we think that the first sinner is a bit too easy once you get the hang of her?

[dusty seal]

thats like every boss after act 1

[grand kayak]

i mean i did first sinner first try

[austere cliff]

she kinda felt like a pushover but im just glad there was no runback

[full halo]

Do we think any boss is easy once you get the hang of them

[pallid veldt]

cool shit does it overheat?

[wide zephyr]

thats like any soulslike boss ever

[dusty seal]

we need more bosses like last judge

[candid gyro]

is there any chance of a mod that lets you play silksong as TK and vice versa? They're built on the same framework, so it should be reasonably easy to "port"

[rancid flare]

You have got to be fucking kidding me

[modern raptor]

same here i died to them multiple times actually i thought doing pop was easier than beating both of them at the end

[frigid glacier]

Let’s put that one to the thought

[grand kayak]

nvm the first DLC added 0% lol

[pallid veldt]

same lol

[dusty seal]

its like a super dash but a jump

[grand kayak]

GPZ and White Defender arent a %

[rancid flare]

No… the completion %…

[wide zephyr]

nkg is 1%

[grand kayak]

nkg isnt part of hidden dreams

[dusty seal]

now lose 26%

[candid gyro]

brainrot

[wide zephyr]

ik but hes dlc

[mortal bluff]

Yeah, but I beat her once with three nail upgrades, after dying like 3 times, then I beat her with 2 upgrades, then with one, and it never felt like I was really gonna bite the bullet on my second and third go of it.

[grand kayak]

they were asking about the first dlc

[full halo]

We need more bosses like Lace, Karmalita, Widow, First Sinner

Also why are all the S tier bosses girls

[rich pagoda]

I love GPZ even though I rely heavily on spells to kill em.

damn i hope silksong dlc gets a %

silksong is all "girl power" but not in a pushy-feminism way

[feral bramble]

[frigid glacier]

Groal took me like 6-7 tries.. it was just annoying

[finite swift]

guys be honest which tool is the best?

[pallid veldt]

i am a bit sad tht there are no good male bosses

[grand kayak]

groal took me exactly 6 tries
it felt like 60

[uncut bolt]

groal is better than first sinner

[wide zephyr]

all of those are mid

[frigid glacier]

Honestly didn’t like any of them

[full halo]

all ass but cogwork wheel is best here

[dusty seal]

the trick is to stay on the floor for the non-special fleas. its a rhythm, and jumping messes up the timing the game tries to give you

[gaunt wyvern]

The red one ig all of them are mid

[proper rivet]

honestly im kinda ass in both games, im playing both rn

[finite swift]

WDYM ALL OF THIS ARE MID

[grand kayak]

architect's key which isnt a tool but makes all tools better

[frigid glacier]

They just are

[near pumice]

Do you guys believe me that I’ve beaten Nyleth, khan, Seth, grape Trobbio, old fathet flame, and unraveled in act 3 boss the boss I struggled with the hardest was… pinstress

[uncut bolt]

literally fucking arent

[wide zephyr]

they are lolz

[modern raptor]

the wheel is goated rest all mid

[dusty seal]

yes

[finite swift]

So cogwork wheel is good?

[candid gyro]

wheel overrated as hell

[full halo]

the wheel is good the rest is niche

[pallid veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-silksong-hornet-spider-crawl-gif-4507433950551265571

[wide zephyr]

maybe used wheel once

[austere cliff]

scuttle brace can be fun to try

[near pumice]

And the Verdania bosses but they easy as hell

[grand kayak]

wheel is great on gauntlet rooms

[dusty seal]

its fine. my opinion is get whatever you want

[full halo]

I used it on the unraveled

[finite swift]

is the wheel thing slides over the floor like traps?

[candid gyro]

unless you're fighting a really fat boss who stays on the ground, wheel is basically useless

[gaunt wyvern]

The shard bundle is the best one ngl

[near pumice]

Is there any difference between the cohort dancers and the clover dancers. They seem identical

[wide zephyr]

||Lost Lace is mad ez ngl||

[finite swift]

correct

[full halo]

fuck the unraveled by the way i will tack cogwheel him all day

[rigid moss]

All she does is hover and spam pins 😭

[dusty seal]

it rolls on the ground, hitting enemies, goes onto the wall, then falls back the opposite way a little bit

[young vortex]

i'm doing mount fay with an ac on for full immersion

[grand kayak]

wheel goes so hard on high halls gauntlet

[feral bramble]

i never jump (ive just lost cuz one of the stubid fleas just left the place and i had to leave the arena to hit him and i couldnt...........)

[near pumice]

The way she jumps around is so annoying as hell

[full halo]

after diffing her 20 times I agree

[rich pagoda]

Is there a tool that turns me into a buzzsaw? Jk jk

[wide zephyr]

nice username

[modern raptor]

yes cuz you can store 16 of them when maxed capacity and they hit multiple times only downside is bad against flying enemies

[grand kayak]

beast crest pogo

[full halo]

Lost Lace is the best boss in hollow knight both games

[dusty seal]

do you also struggle with the special fleas fast-falling unnaturally

[candid gyro]

clover dancers flash their next move instead of showing it for a long time, and their tandem move is a lot more dangerous. But otherwise yeah, basically the same thing

[rich pagoda]

I want to bring the White Palace experience to Pharloom

go thru sinners road

isnt that the longer path

[mental arch]

No

[cerulean sable]

should silksong have been affected by the rapture

[silent quiver]

team cherry really should have added better controller support on steam deck

[dark fern]

I think my first metroidvania was Hollow Knight (although I played SM prior to that, Zelda games don't count here), and then took a 5 year gap, where I got Animal Well and then beat like all of the metroidbrainias besides the witness

3 seconds until I would’ve won flea dodge. Little bitch throws a spear at me. Great design.

How did silksong's release affect the fortnite item shop

[hexed sigil]

It would be genuinely crazy the game was out in September 4th and the rapture was presumingly supposed to happen at September 10 so like that's 6 days

[mental arch]

the sinners road path is fool proof bro blasted steps sounds like hell 😭😭

[tulip spire]

It’s good but kind of unreliable. The nerf made it significantly less good

[fresh dagger]

Tlj is easier, but a bit longer

[halcyon crow]

but its longer tho

[dark fern]

anyone here not get fooled by the infamous ant trap?

[candid gyro]

HK was my first metroidvania, i remember legitimately getting my ass beat by Hornet 1 for over an hour. Don't know how that happened exactly, but it is what it is

[silent quiver]

What platform are you using it on though

[mental arch]

ur not going through bilewater are you

[ocean bridge]

instead of cogwork wheel, use sawtooth circlet instead

[mental arch]

steam

[proper rivet]

how did the release of silksong affect the local trout population?

[weak hornet]

me saying i hate|| lost lace|| how is it people fav boss knowing damn well i said that abt the|| first sinner ||but changed my mind when i mastered the moveset

[silent quiver]

Pc or steam deck

[candid gyro]

does sitting down, hearing the click and hopping off to avoid the hit count

[foggy tapir]

guys if you have the tool and your kinda struggling with a gauntlet, use throwing rings they richoshot off of other enemies

[fresh dagger]

I disliked ll until I switched to a decent crest and realised its not that bad

[mental arch]

yes thats what shakra says when she gives them to you

[dark fern]

wait you can do that?
i just was like "oh yeah i see that, better disarm it"

[full halo]

it’s my favorite boss in the game

[halcyon crow]

the road is longer but ill try

[silent quiver]

i guess it’s a steam deck specific issue then

[dark fern]

||bilewater|| bench got me though

[weak hornet]

which crest did u use im using reaper

[fresh dagger]

Witch

[tulip spire]

I had been informed that one of the benches in the game was booby trapped (but not which) and I intuited that that was the one based on where it was

[mental arch]

No matter how I look at it the blasted steps path is slower

[weak hornet]

how do u heal with it

[foggy tapir]

it can also deflect certain projectiles

[silent quiver]

There’s at least one trapped bench 🥀

[fresh dagger]

After the down dash attack or the triple slash

[pliant mauve]

Sinners road is shorter but harder blasted steps is longer but alot easier

[weary gorge]

Blasted steps is legit one of my favorite areas in the game lol

[tulip spire]

Another reaper casualty press f

[tawdry sierra]

i heard architect crest cant parry is that true

[foggy tapir]

does this actually work?

[silent quiver]

Lost verdania is probably my favorite area

[coarse leaf]

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

[fresh dagger]

It’s super inconsistent though cause sometimes she teleports or parries and you just dissolve

[vocal sky]

Steps is prob hell without double jump, but with it it’s a joke

[feral bramble]

||ive saved the nailmaster now will he gonna turn back to his place?||

[dark fern]

my strat is to use wanderers and somehow parry a long attack via 5 consecutive parries

[silent quiver]

Greymoor is also really good cause it gives off bloodborne vibes

[tawdry sierra]

no

[young saffron]

never listen to them, reaper is a good crest. We do not need "cheese" crests like w*nderer or witch crest

[pliant mauve]

Nail master?

[tulip spire]

Are we talking about the rasher delivery or just in general

[weary gorge]

Yeah

[candid gyro]

blasted steps is way easier, the only threat there that you can't just run past are the pond catchers in lower shellwood. Every other enemy can be safely ignored

[real spindle]

How are those cheese crests?

[dark fern]

i like wanderer because fast

[vocal sky]

Rasher

[neat remnant]

[full halo]

Man thank u silksong for making college bearable fr

[tawdry sierra]

sprintmaster fucking dies from tacks\

[fresh dagger]

Rage bait used to be believable

[mental arch]

you can pogo off the spike at the top of the vertical room in sinners road to skip a portion of the room double jump+l2 makes the big guys not able to hit you at all

[young saffron]

yikes wanderer users replying, blocked

[real spindle]

Witch crest still requires you to learn the enemies

[tulip spire]

Steps ain’t shit just kill all the guys in the place first

[silent quiver]

mfs complain like wanderer is for cheaters 😔

[dark fern]

as a wisconsinite i can only use cheese crests

[onyx owl]

lol I one shot the boss

[tawdry sierra]

censor on wanderers 💀

[hexed sigil]

Woah?? Really cool synergy may I ask for the build

[mental arch]

once ur thru sinners road and in the elevator theres basically nothing in your way

[candid gyro]

calling witch a cheese crest is wild

[hexed sigil]

Wtf is bro doing outside of tcg pocket 😭😭😭

[austere cliff]

yea he kinda flops over like many random act 3 bosses

[tawdry sierra]

witch isnt cheese
u need to hit enemies to heal and most bosses move around alot

[silent quiver]

also witch crest is ass everyone says it’s great but I see no good use for it

[real spindle]

Ive left that game behind for like 4 months now

[young saffron]

My wanderer comment still stands

[tulip spire]

Woe claw mirrors be upon ye

[hexed sigil]

Same but I'm still there just for chats

[candid gyro]

oh, wanderer is a cheese crest for sure

[young saffron]

reaper supremacy

[mental arch]

the heal with claw mirrors+multibind oneshots every non boss enemy and does absurd damage to bosses

[floral kindle]

Because it's a one trick pony that's only ever good with one loadout

[brittle elbow]

hornet really does heal too much.

[tulip spire]

Witch crest can do like 200+ damage per bind to some bosses lol

[mental arch]

worst crest in the game past act 1 my man

[deft summit]

[real spindle]

It's good IF you learned all the enemy movesets and know when they will stay still for you to use it

[tawdry sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/reaper-crest-silksong-jjk-gif-11394692553717979041

[dark fern]

question does ||shaman|| count as a cheese crest if you synergize ||volt filament||, ||3 hearts + weavelight||, and ||pale nails||?

or is "avoid everything and cast magic missile every 5 seconds" a valid strat

[fresh dagger]

Witch crest is dogwater, but it has pretty slashes so it’s the best crest

[rustic plover]

Silksong so fast

[coarse leaf]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/586931790208434203/1421403944005140483/image0.gif

[silent quiver]

Makes sense

[real spindle]

It's downward slash is horrible

[young saffron]

finished act 2 with it, was too easy 💔

[candid gyro]

i did the calc not so long ago and the damage cap without barbed bracelet is exactly 150

[pliant mauve]

No

[tulip spire]

Reaper mains calling crests that are good “cheese crests” is super funny

[mental arch]

u get i frames lol you can use it to dodge certain boss attacks

[muted crystal]

Am I crazy? I'm replaying Silksong and cogflies have 6 now? I couldve sworn there were 8.

[full halo]

She isn’t having it

[candid gyro]

that's 150 with nail 4, multibinder and claw mirrors

[austere cliff]

if a crest doesn't have some glaring weakness or annoying limitation, it's cheese

[vocal sky]

I mean all ur doing is running away and spamming homing attacks so imo it’s cheese

[floral kindle]

I feel like some of you misinterpret what cheesing is

[tulip spire]

Claw mirrors just got buffed

[brittle elbow]

is valid
but consider you're only casting every 8 seconds. it gets boring.

[silent quiver]

I just found out about the cradle lace glitch it’s funny as hell

[dark fern]

used this strat against ||seth|| and it legit changes the entire playstyle, i'd recommend trying it just for funzies

[fresh dagger]

It has iframes for exclusively contact damage, it sucks for 90% of bosses

[candid gyro]

any known stats on that?

[real spindle]

No, it vacuums you into the attack, the iframe is fake, you just get dragged into the attack range of a boss when you were supposed to pogo over them

[full halo]

Video?

[muted crystal]

Though its good they nerfed cogflies

[tulip spire]

It one shots grand reeds so make what you will of that

[dark fern]

8 with full size upgrades

[silent quiver]

Just upslash her in front of her face over and over it breaks her ai

[mental arch]

To be very specific in ||lost lace|| specifically you can avoid her void tendrils on the dash attacks

[foggy tapir]

so is conchcutter good for coral tower gauntlets?

[real spindle]

I used the downslash to pogo off of seth and immediately got caught in his 3-slash combo, like then wtf is the purpose of a downward slash then?

[fresh dagger]

That’s not true

[marble swift]

Don’t I only need 7 mossberries for the one charm?

[candid gyro]

those have 130 hp

[mental arch]

Its what I did man

[tawdry sierra]

i used to think reaper is better than wanderers

[silent quiver]

Don’t bully my homeboy Seth 🗣️

[brittle elbow]

yes
anything that lets you deal with hordes like pincushion and rings

[mental arch]

I used witch crest for most of act 2 and all of act 3

[fresh dagger]

Did you pogo during the dash or at the end?

[real spindle]

That's cause its vertical hitbox is not enough to catch you probably

[foggy tapir]

pincushion?

[floral kindle]

which pogo doesn't get sucked by seth anyway

[onyx owl]

should I do lost verdania now or leave it for later? neither my masks or nail or spool is maxxed

[mental arch]

the dash attack also lets you dodge an ass ton of things

[tulip spire]

Not sure on exact numbers then. I just know claw mirrors do more damage now

[real spindle]

Any attack with a vertical hitbox is gonna catch you when you do a witch crest downward slash

[brittle elbow]

i have no idea what its actual name is. the anti-air thing that bursts into spikes when an enemy is nearby

[dark fern]

wanderer all the way, but run #2 will have me ban it because variety✨

[fresh dagger]

All the crests have sucky dash attacks

[vocal sky]

You could probably do it now

[onyx owl]

And I already did nyleth and khann in this situation

[floral kindle]

Dw lost verdania is piss easy

[silent quiver]

That’s all irrelevant to verdania just do it

[foggy tapir]

sting shard

[real spindle]

It's worse with witch crest cause the pogo itself sucks you into him

[onyx owl]

It felt kind of ass to traverse honestly

[ocean quarry]

it's not easy after cogfly nerfs

[brittle elbow]

oh that's a lame ass name rip

[coarse leaf]

i love how hornet is like "big and fluffy i love it" and "this creature is so pretty i want to ride it" and at the same time she isn't opposed to ||killing babies||

[candid gyro]

a good benchmark for 200 damage is void masses in act 3, those are roughly around that number. I know that minmaxed shaman thread storm is just barely enough to oneshot them, and witch bind is not even close

[onyx owl]

And the place didn't seem to have much

[floral kindle]

Dawg I did it with hunter and no tools, it is pissy easy

[fresh dagger]

Witch would be nice if it had a slightly larger bind and faster swings

[mental arch]

the witch crest slander is not tolerated i believe along with hunter and wanderer its the best

[grand kayak]

i wish there were more nkg/pv difficulty level bosses in silksong
i will probably eat these words when DLC drops

[real spindle]

Just make it so that the downward slash doesnt suck you into the enemy

[tulip spire]

All crests are good reaper is just the least good

[fresh dagger]

Or at least give you iframes after you leave the pogo

[young saffron]

Explode.

[ocean quarry]

all crests suck except wanderer

[foggy tapir]

witch crest makes healing a fucking attack bro

[real spindle]

Witch crest is good IF you already know all the enemy movesets

[modest cipher]

why does clawline even cost silk?

[grand kayak]

problem is if you miss said attack you dont get any healing

[floral kindle]

Because it deals damage

[candid gyro]

ngl, half the game is above NKG/PV level. The latter is a total joke if you just jump anytime you see it do anything

[tulip spire]

Because otherwise you could just spam it

[floral kindle]

And well it also let's you really bully mobs

[silent quiver]

nah it was chill just the boss runback was tedious

[mental arch]

ok and I beat every end game boss with it it does unbelievable damage, AND gives 3 blue slots meaning you have 4 in total and can incredibly easily run injector band+multibind to get near instant 200 damage nuke 4 mask heals

[grand kayak]

nah not really
id only really consider karmelita/lost lace to be harder

[real spindle]

Savage Beastfly early game is already harder than both of them

[onyx owl]

I'll return to it if the rewards are worth it

[tulip spire]

I just did beastfly in act 1 and bro is not that hard

[errant ice]

I feel way too happy fighting lace idk why

[tulip spire]

Beastfly 2 sucks ass though

[ocean quarry]

legit, act 1 savage beastfly without wanderer's is cancer

[jovial vale]

Why us my vision ver limited in widow boss is it cause I'm in mobile

[wet raft]

I got 65 seconds on flea dodge. Needed 66. I’m about to fucking break something.

[foggy tapir]

witch crest lowk the best crest to exist rn

i also have an idea for a mod crest

[fresh dagger]

All the crests work to beat bosses, witch does decent damage but throwing yourself at stuff to heal is just worse than healing normally in all scenarios

[candid gyro]

i can clear both of those hitless reliably, but have to lock in for most of silksong. Last Judge is NKG level, and it goes up from there

[silent quiver]

Suit yourself, it’s just an optional area anyways that doesn’t add to 100% completion so your doing it for the lore and good vibes

your loss though

[ocean quarry]

THANK YOU
idk why this is so hard to understand

[tulip spire]

LJ is not nkg level lmao

[coarse leaf]

i bet gurr was gonna put hornet here 😭

[jovial vale]

Why us my vision ver limited in widow boss is it cause I'm in mobile

[grand kayak]

thats because you've fought nkg 50 times and you've fought last judge once
last judge is nowhere near nkg in difficulty

[fresh dagger]

The witch bind glaze fails to consider the fact that thread storm is a cheaper, better alternative

[floral kindle]

Verdania doesn't have any rewards other than the heart to skip one main quest boss or a memento if you already got all hearts

[onyx owl]

fine

[glacial kelp]

flea

[real spindle]

Yeah Last Judge has harder to dodge attacks than NKG now that I think of it, especially the explosive ball toss

[coarse leaf]

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

[onyx owl]

btw WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO WORMWAYS

[vocal sky]

Last judge isn’t even normal Grimm lvl imo

[grand kayak]

Lifeblood.

[mental arch]

nah every boss has at a move that let's you do the bind completely for free you just have to play a little different and look for those moves that make the boss stand still for a minute

[ocean quarry]

infection

[onyx owl]

I HAVE ONLY TWO HEARTS THIS SHIT IS INSANE

[floral kindle]

Yeah duh, didn't you use needolin there

[tulip spire]

The witch bind haters fail to consider that it’s insanely funny doing 150 damage by healing

[silent quiver]

fortnite chug jug

[ruby trout]

Last Judge is not even close to NKG lmao
Last Judge actually lets you heal

[real spindle]

NKG's attacks arent really hard to dodge tho

[foggy tapir]

guys double sling with sting shard isnt useless, its a bomb

[fresh dagger]

Last judge is chill

[candid gyro]

nkg has plenty of heal windows

[grand kayak]

they're not but theyre still harder to dodge than last judge

[ocean quarry]

bro even Lost Lace lets you heal

[mental arch]

Like with karmelita its after a melee attack, with tormented trobbio its after the tornado swirl, with lace its after a parry, rush attack, or cast

[glacial kelp]

every boss lets you heal

[real spindle]

So does NKG, you can heal after the flame pillar and bat attacks

[vocal sky]

Nkg has plenty, they just aren’t really obvious

[fresh dagger]

Healing is a lot easier in silksong

[mental arch]

bosses have windows that let you use witch crest bind for absolute free

[grand kayak]

Oblobbles:

Father of the Flame:

[ocean quarry]

nkg has zero heal windows (outside of staggers) if you don't have shape of unn

[real spindle]

There is enough time to heal once between each volley

[onyx owl]

wait wait wait does the big worms heal themselves?

[tulip spire]

The only boss I found the heal window to be sorta shitty is Karmelita in later phases where she just never stops attacking ever

[foggy tapir]

guys is double sling actually good?

[twin tulip]

?????

[fresh dagger]

Or you could heal normally and use threadstorm in those windows

[ruby trout]

Also I just got Silksong Speedrun achievement!
All my homies hate High Halls Arena

[silent quiver]

Not a single boss in this game was as hard as NKG 🥀

[real spindle]

??? Flame Pillars, bats attack

[candid gyro]

flame pillars, bats, start of pufferfish move

[twin tulip]

arguably the most fun fight in the game

[floral kindle]

Yeah lifeblood mobs have regen so go ham on them

[glacial kelp]

tears with magma bell weavelight

[wet raft]

Is there an alternative pale oil to the flea minigames or should I just jump now?

[modest cipher]

but nkg does have heal windows?

[coarse leaf]

all mask shards

[mental arch]

or you could heal and use threadstorm at the same time during maybe a 2 ot 3 second window at best 🤯

[feral bramble]

HELL YEAHH

[silent quiver]

just jump

[vocal sky]

Just don’t get it

[tulip spire]

No

[grand kayak]

i just spammed lifeblood lol

[ocean quarry]

how the fuck are you healing during flame pillars what
they manifest under you if you stand still like that

[coarse leaf]

i just got it too

[tawdry sierra]

i want a ||karmelita rematch but im so lazy to get to act 3 again||

[twin tulip]

you can load the save

[vocal sky]

Wait for the last one

[austere cliff]

you WILL complete annoying and aggravating tasks to get your damage upgrades

[tulip spire]

Can’t you heal once they go off

[real spindle]

You can literally heal after you walked away from the 4th pillar

[grand kayak]

There's enough time between the last one and the next attack
