Did you free green prince and talk to him in the citadel/cogwork core

[plucky palm]

ngl i searched "Astolfo femboy fanart" it was about top 20 results 😭

[open path]

Last Dive is peak

[full dome]

Cogwork dancers is the best OST in the game tho paired with the boss fight. Weaver OST is good but not a comparison

[cerulean sable]

Ballow would fucking destroy LL if he cared enough

[wary storm]

red maiden umm is cool too actually

[vast wharf]

Last dive ||plays the hollow knight theme in it so is objectively peak||

[full dome]

Is it the Abyss escape OST?

[flint rover]

The soundtrack is so good

[untold dune]

the dive into the abyss lake before LL

[open path]

I think so, but more notably the Lost Lace buildup ost

[flint rover]

That's enter pharloom

[cedar bluff]

the true final boss of silksong is NOT ||lost lace|| its the ost itself

[full dome]

Oh. That one was meh. For me skarrsinger then

[lost zinc]

HUNTERS MARCH SUCK

god enter pharloom is so peak

ok, karmelita is the second finalist

Cogwork dancers works so well because the fight is also incredible

How is Choral Chambers not even here I thought it was an overall favorite for sure

[open path]

[vast wharf]

Dude I dreamt the entirety of a godhome dlc for silksong last night

[austere cloud]

lost to last dive apparently

[onyx owl]

If Pharloom and Hallownest went to war who would win

[full dome]

True..

[tough ivy]

rip Choral Chambers

[shrewd gate]

Just found out you don’t lose any of ur tool ammo when you die in the dream world and I think that’s pretty neat

[vivid belfry]

ngl fair, Khann's theme is bombastic and catchy but it's kinda really repetitive by larkin standards

[untold dune]

pharloom because they have a standing army and hallownest doesnt

[lilac ore]

Wow, what were the news boss?

[cerulean sable]

this is TAS so every frame here is assisted with an input that you can "rewind" until its perfect

[flint rover]

a human needs to see what's happening on the screen, process it, decide which buttons to press, then physically press them.
With a TAS you don't need to do any of these things.
You know how the enemies will behave ahead of time and can formulate the perfect response.

[shrewd gate]

There was a giant praying mantis and you gotta climb on its arms while fighting it

[onyx owl]

(I think Hallownest would absolutely steamroll Pharloom with the fact of how many higher beings it houses)

[vast wharf]

Lost versions of the song heart bosses and a lost grandmother silk

[fickle stone]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES (Couriers Rasher)

[vast wharf]

And trobbio 3

[lilac ore]

Lost Karmelita? Please no she's already the hardest boss of the game to me

[onyx owl]

Higher beings change that completely, and I'm saying for each empire's every person working together against the other

[silent gull]

ok now do liquid lacquer

[fickle stone]

Not now

[untold dune]

rasher is harder than lacquer ngl

[vast wharf]

How was karmelita harder than lost lace

[austere cloud]

OK SO THE BEST OST IN ALL OF SILKSONG IS....

thanks for participating on this i wanted to make smth fun :3 i hope you liked it

[silent gull]

gang what are you smoking

liquid lacquer is a longer distance with more danger and less room for mistakes

[lilac ore]

What was his name and colors?

[silent gull]

rasher you just have to mildly rush

[untold dune]

its literally just the rasher route but you go to mount fay where you shouldnt be taking any damage anyway bcuz its a platforming area

[onyx owl]

Punished trobbio

[barren topaz]

counter argument
mt fay is easy as balls

[open path]

goat

[vast wharf]

It was like pink and it was reborn trobbio

[vivid belfry]

mt fay is the victory lap

[fading barn]

... i hate him

[silent gull]

its the rasher route but longer and less room for mistakes

[vivid belfry]

taking the lacquer through the citadel, ESPECIALLY in act 3, is the problem

[cedar bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-silksong-reaper-crest-the-mist-greymoor-gif-13464358243469655364

[austere cloud]

ok nobody cared about the end result lmao 🥀

[vivid belfry]

act 2 lacquer is fine

[untold dune]

id argue you only get 3 hits with rasher anyway because of the timed thing

[lilac ore]

Karmelita is the only boss where I had to ask people for an ideal build against her

[cedar patio]

this is me with the witch crest

[vast wharf]

Krill issue me thinks

[vivid belfry]

actually I tend to use exhaust organ for rasher, which doesn't provide the same benefit to lacquer

[silent gull]

speak for yourself i got hit 4 times and succeeded on my rasher run

[untold dune]

thx for the bracket

[limber igloo]

I FUCKING DID IT, I BEAT THE LAST JUDGE

[cedar bluff]

rasher was ez ngl (NOT RAGEBAIT)

[untold dune]

[stray mulch]

Why do you hide 2 words "Silk Soar"?

[fickle mist]

:( oh no

[cedar patio]

wanderer crest 🤝 architect crest
being able to trivialize the game at different points

[wanton terrace]

nope I'm on my way to complete everythong before her, but I know I can defeat her with some random bullshit go of mine

Not really tbh, chargeup needs to be faster in order for it to be relevent

i used to only use architects when farming rosaries, but then they nerfed it so i never use it now

[native canyon]

I primarily use wanderer and wanderer's needle strike sucks ass

is there any tool that boost the range of nail?

longclaw

longclaw

shortclaw

[native canyon]

have I got the tool for you

[normal summit]

not really, other than architect, it's pretty much a waste

[valid hare]

Longclaw

[inland wind]

Mediocre sized claw

[untold dune]

the act 3 shaped elephant in the room

[cedar patio]

hornet will never feel the strength of the Great Slash
😔🤘

[inland wind]

Longclaw isn’t really that useful unless it’s wanderer imo

[cedar bluff]

guys btw, if you didnt know this already common silksong fact, || ||

[kind frigate]

Squatcraw

[sturdy sonnet]

the guy who hasnt played with any crest except the wanderer:

[cedar patio]

gotta use it with shaman for BIG range

[normal summit]

i was hoping the charge atk for witch is similar to Knight's

[native canyon]

hunter needle strike is pretty good actually

[cedar bluff]

toby when he went past the gaster door in the 10th aniversary stream

[buoyant brook]

Peak game

[valid hare]

Idk I think longclaw is decent. Theres probably better blues for a lot of crests, but it’s not bad.

[untold dune]

i dont even use longclaw on wanderer 🤷

[bright flame]

okayy am I supposed to do something here or this just it

[kind frigate]

Longclaw on reaper is fire

[modest vessel]

Undertale mentioned in the silksong chat???

[native canyon]

that was just the entire 10th anniversary stream, everyone went silent when something new happened

[normal summit]

that's it

[barren topaz]

did you pick up the ruined tool

[thick steppe]

games over wrap it up

[bright flame]

yes

[lilac ore]

Lace 2 exist and she teach you a lot about Lost Lace. Simple as that
The build I beated here with is wanderer with cogflies, multibinder, injection belt, druid eyes (later realised that pollip pouch is better instead), weighted belt, magnetite dice, and the otehr yellow tools + the silk skill don't matter much (I mostly saved my silk for healing, cross stitch or thread storms are prefered)

[native canyon]

finally makes it semi-usable

[barren topaz]

then that's everything

[untold dune]

you say as if there isnt a large overlap in fans

[inland wind]

Beast/witch/reaper already has good enough range

Architect don’t got blue slots to spare considering it needs both slingshot and poison

Shaman is one of the only ones that actually fit but it also doesn’t have much slots to spare since it basically needs Volt and Wispfly lantern

[cedar bluff]

sans (silksong after not surviving)

[native canyon]

yes

[normal summit]

tweaking sans

[cedar patio]

you can unlock two extra charm slots right

[dawn wagon]

Maybe

[native canyon]

we got sans in hollow knight (dashmaster) now we got papyrus in silksong (sprintmaster swift)

[inland wind]

one blue and yellow

[normal summit]

yes, 1 blue 1 yellow from Eva

It's a beautiful day outside,
Birds are singing, flowers are blooming,

Architect can actually drop both of those if you are using Plasmium

[cedar bluff]

SHOULD BE PLAYING SILKSONG

[kind frigate]

Should be using reaper crest

[modest vessel]

Fr

[finite sierra]

should i use wanderers crest for lace 2.0

[inland wind]

Plasmiuk Architect build is absolute ballers

[untold dune]

you're telling me this water is bile?

[modest vessel]

So true

[iron pulsar]

Vesticrest

[mystic prism]

On the right of weavenest atla what is the big silk spool for?

[fleet reef]

It's probably cuz it's how sinners go up to the citadel without the need to go through grand gate to be judged

[native canyon]

is slingshot even that good

[modest vessel]

I wont allow reaper hate

[normal summit]

before cursed ending, i pretty much use reaper

[cedar bluff]

ok ill delete it

[open path]

I actually was able to slot Mt Fay Silkshot comfortably into my build because I had literally nothing else to do with the extra silk

[lilac ore]

Stop sending the falsest thing ever. Nobody struggle with pogoing like that

[native canyon]

it just uses double the ammo anyways, seems a bit pointless

[finite sierra]

same but i got shamed to death for it TT

[kind frigate]

Reaper fans finally rising up is crazy

[native canyon]

it does

[cedar patio]

needle strike also doesn't give silk which immediately makes it more ass iirc

they fixed that, it gives silk now

eh reaper is fine, but after getting Witch, Reaper is just too slow now

Reaper attack sucks, good passive tho

You like doing the pogo parkour with architect?

Dude, the way of downslash upslash is so annoying

[untold dune]

the only bad crest is the groal crest, idk what they were thinking when designing that one

[modest vessel]

Yall glaze the worst crests bro tf

[lilac ore]

Witch crest is my favourite crest and I ended up realising it's better than reaper as a long range crest in most cases

[native canyon]

beast crest tears through enemies

[modest vessel]

Just use wanderer

[cedar bluff]

witch's pogo is cool

[inland wind]

Specify “worst crest”

[native canyon]

reaper crest is the worst because it's the only one that's defensive

[normal summit]

the only bad crest is cursed crest from twisted bud. Let's be real

[modest vessel]

Beast and witch suck

[floral kindle]

oi

[dawn wagon]

I really don't like the heal

[native canyon]

beast has higher damage potential even if wander is more consistent

[cedar bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/lace-silksong-gif-23857333

[kind frigate]

Ngl beast crest got so much better after I got the upgrade from ||Second Sinner||

[alpine crest]

witch?

The "press B to kill everything in your surroundings" crest?

[heady bough]

All the crests work for whatever playstyle. Beast and witch have a learning curvr with the heals but work fine.

[inland wind]

Icl witch can be a nuke but it’s so situational

[normal summit]

[iron pulsar]

Bro you can use vengeful spirit as the side attack what do you mean!1 the pacman from smash bros crest’s up attack is by far the worst

[open path]

Wanderer is easier but Beast is stronger

[cedar patio]

architect and wanderer are the best crests.
architect is SS and wanderer is S
imo

[untold dune]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-silksong-npc-caretaker-waving-gif-1296244235196704295

The crest with a bind that deals as much damage as a mashed volt shaman threadstorm while also healing and being faster?

[heady bough]

Witch also kinda forces you into a specific build

[lilac ore]

I hope you all considered using injection belt on witch crest...
Don't say it such if you haven't tried it, because your opinion wouldn't be considerable then

[modest vessel]

Yk what just use hunter it's top 3 best crests

[native canyon]

I'd say it depends

[cedar patio]

the bind does volt shaman thread storm damage?
holy shit

[heady bough]

Hunter is great esp if youre good at not getting hit

[inland wind]

if you use it with trobbio’s mirror

[iron pulsar]

What about hunter tho

[heady bough]

Imo reaper is the lowest skill threshold crest. Jts so floaty.

[modest vessel]

Hunter is S

[normal summit]

yep it's just that strong

[kind frigate]

Actually, crest discussion is irrelevant until godhome because silksong is too easy fr

[cedar patio]

I can respect people who use hunter's crest but you're still boring
muwahahaha

[modest vessel]

I need to do radiant first sinner

[iron pulsar]

Yes

[normal summit]

which is why Witch is the best crest

[alpine crest]

basically? iirc it's like 150~ something damage, while volt shaman thread storm is like 168 I think?

Sure, it costs 9 silk instead of 4, but it's faster and also heals you, on top of having a really good moveset (dash attack also gives 2 silk by itself fyi). Witch is broken

[heady bough]

I completely agree actual discussion of crest builds is useless until godhome—we have to frame of reference for what the real best endgame builds are.

[modest vessel]

Witch is the worst crest

[open path]

Hunter, Architect, and Witch are probably the best 3 but its such a small difference that you can really use any crest and find success

Yes even Reaper

[floral kindle]

Hunter ain't boring
Wanderer and architect are

[native canyon]

silksong will still be too easy after godhome, team cherry needs to learn how to make harder games

[earnest cliff]

remember when we got the release trailer we thought Nuu was a boy

[normal summit]

godhome i probably will use reaper

[modest vessel]

Holy what a lie about witch

[heady bough]

Most really skilled high level player will just run hunter all game cause jts the default

[cedar patio]

no crest can seriously match the output you can get with architect/wanderer I think

[native canyon]

shaman is better than all of those

[umbral brook]

hey guys what’s the most amount of game completion can you achieve BEFORE going into Act 3?

[untold dune]

wait they arent?

[cedar bluff]

if u were to be a type of bug in the hollow knight world what would it be?

[kind frigate]

I like reaper but thats just pain and suffering

[dawn wagon]

It's really good with cross stitch and weavelight

[native canyon]

top 3 is like shaman wanderer and beast

[modest vessel]

Like 92

[untold dune]

93

[normal summit]

the majority of population still thinks Savage beastfly is too hard

[earnest cliff]

no, she's a girl

[modest vessel]

This server is good at ragebaiting

[heady bough]

I think once godhome releases and we get a proper meta well see the best builds

[inland wind]

Wish granted, beastfly duo

[native canyon]

savage beastfly should've been harder

[normal summit]

idk, i feel safe with Reaper

[alpine crest]

yeah tbh in the end it just comes down to getting used to them

I can't beast crest for the life of me, for example, but Shaman's moveset (not the silk skills, I never end up using silk skills vs lost lace for some reason) fits like a glove, y'know

[normal summit]

honestly, yea

[cedar patio]

witch dash attack surprised me so much I was like wait how many times did I hit that guy when I did the follow up lol

[kind frigate]

Is gonna be so sloww

[heady bough]

But its like HK—a nail build and a comedy unn build both are good bets abt nkg

[native canyon]

wdym ragebaiting I'm stating my opinion based on experience

[normal summit]

i mean, if you want to speedrun it, yea just go wanderer

[modest vessel]

Only wanderer is valid

[cedar bluff]

[heady bough]

Reaper is very floaty and lets you bounce around certain enemies, especially lace.

[inland wind]

Reaper isn’t even that bad, it’s just mid

[native canyon]

I've played this game a lot every crest except reaper is great, you can make basically all of them overpowered

[dawn wagon]

If we have that disscussions, any ideas what will be the name of silksong godhome

[normal summit]

the only problem i have with Wanderer crest is the fact im missing 1 locket to open 1 more slot

[modest vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-hornet-hollow-knight-gif-5503458344524908864

[open path]

agree, I've said it before and I'll say it again the best crest is the one you feel most comfortable with

for example Architect is just my playstyle so I use it the most

[heady bough]

Lost Lace dropped like 5 difficulty points for me once i switched to reaper from wanderer

[native canyon]

reaper is the only one you can't make overpowered, just adequately powered

[alpine crest]

This ⬆️

can we like pin it or something

[dusk oasis]

fuck bilewater

[normal summit]

the shard consuming playstyle

[vivid matrix]

Soo why are the enemies hostile?

[kind frigate]

No i mean
Reaper being an inherently slow crest is gonna take a long time with godhome boss rushes
Hunter, wanderer, shaman, etc. Are inarguably going to be better at it

[cedar bluff]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/586931790208434203/1424734348728340490/caption-2.gif

[slate leaf]

why the fuck is everyone arguing about crests

[normal summit]

cuz tyrany

[drifting void]

I beat the game with reaper, every crest is for someone or for certain situations just have fun

[alpine crest]

haunting + hornet is from another kingdom

[native canyon]

I think this falls flat when you're good at all of the crests

[modest vessel]

Architect is just a gimmick crest ngl cuz you can't get infinite shell shards but it's pretty fun and deletes every boss

[open path]

you dont need to worry about wasting shards if you dont die

[native canyon]

when you're able to use all of them well a best one is bound to emerge

[cedar patio]

the drill is also very cool

[normal summit]

still shard consuming

[heady bough]

A thing that does not exist yet lol. I think we cant properly rate them until godhome drops.

[lilac ore]

There's something I've never seen anyone pointing out, so listen...

People who use architect crest and just spam tools against boss are all skill issue persons

[dusk oasis]

isn't the fucking way is enough already ? and annoying boss at the end of it?

[cedar bluff]

best red tool in the game is conchcutter easily

[kind frigate]

They definitely need to rework architect in godhome

[heady bough]

As is now reapers is training wheels crest imo.

[fleet reef]

I wonder how they will do godhome with architect's, cuz yk you need shards to craft

[native canyon]

the difference between the best crest and the 6th best crest is smaller than the 6th best and 7th best

[kind frigate]

The humble cogflies:
The humble curvesickle:

[heady bough]

Idk how to balance architect in godhome lmao

[open path]

when you're good at all of them the best one is still your favorite

[floral kindle]

You still get to have plenty shards
Like 800+1600 from bundles

[cedar bluff]

ok but its still up there

[cedar patio]

Reaper needs to deal more damage instead of giving you more knock back

[native canyon]

best is top of S tier, 6th is mid S tier, 7th would be like mid A tier (7th is reaper)

[normal summit]

with all the bosses ive seen, i think Wanderer and Reaper will be best contender. But Witch is probably the fastest to clear

[lusty valve]

guys what crest in act 1 should i get to help with that damn savage beastfly

[kind frigate]

Yeah i personally love conchcutter
Replaced it with curvesickle when i got it tho

[fading barn]

i freaking hate this boss

[lilac ore]

Too many red tools have similar roles not gonna lie...

[native canyon]

I don't think that's true lol

[drifting void]

mawlings are annoying

[heady bough]

This reminds me of chrono trigger party discussions where its like, yeah Ayla does the most damsge but who gives a shit, its chrono trigger, use who you want.

[steel veldt]

Give examples

[native canyon]

the best would be what kills enemies the easiest and fastest, reaper can't do that

[finite sierra]

bro the twelth architect is so funny

[lusty valve]

which one then

[normal summit]

get 500 rosary, get simple key, go to wormways, go down till you get to the Wanderer chapel

[kind frigate]

Hunter is prob gonna be a top tier crest

[native canyon]

not as well as the others

[open path]

define easiest

[steel veldt]

I love her so much

[finite sierra]

her reactions to taunt are the best

[lusty valve]

is wanderers crest good?

[cedar bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/mods-gif-919334760262788322

[finite sierra]

peak

dirty clanker smasher

[dusk oasis]

fuck this place

[normal summit]

if you ever played Hollow Knight, then it's basically that

[steel veldt]

Yes like every crest it is good

[native canyon]

okay easiest was a bad term lol

[open path]

its pretty good although I would not advise using it against Savage Beastfly lmao

[lusty valve]

oh wow

[cedar patio]

wanderers crest rewards positioning and mechanical skill by turning you into a blender if you become good at positioning

[kind frigate]

Yeah wanderers against savage beastfly is not the brightest

[native canyon]

I used wanderer against both beastflies and it went wonderfully

[ornate torrent]

imo savage beastfly is one of the better bosses for it

[steel veldt]

Still doing it

[hearty prairie]

is there anything interesting or useful in hunters something? im at the end of act 1 and still havent been there and im wondering if its worth it

[normal summit]

nah i woould say Wanderer against SBF 1 is good

[native canyon]

wanderer pogo is insane against beastfly's horizontal dash

[lusty valve]

im struggling bro silksong is so much harder for me than HK

[dusk oasis]

lies

[kind frigate]

Hmm actually ive never used wanderer lolski

[open path]

if you played Hollow Knight and are used to nail builds in that game Wanderers is best for you

[foggy sandal]

Is silksong on mobile because istg a person was playing it on his phone today

[normal summit]

you dont need to pogo SBF anyway

[timid acorn]

u dont get to spam attack

[storm oracle]

i reached grandmommy silk

[steel veldt]

There is a chapel there two good tools and memory locket

[normal summit]

good, now suffer

[fleet reef]

Pretty sure it's an emulator or smth

[odd tree]

does he know?

[native canyon]

hunter's march is required for true ending, and has some tools for you to collect

[open path]

honestly my best advice against Savage Beastfly is to leave and come back later the boss is entirely optional

[steel veldt]

A mask shard too I belive idk

[storm oracle]

not that difficult lowkey

[lusty valve]

WHAT??

[flint warren]

What’s the first crest that people usually get

[cedar bluff]

|| ||..... || ||? || ||!!!!!!

[hearty prairie]

ok ill go there

[kind frigate]

Real sigmas use simple key on deep docks for flintslate

[foggy sandal]

No legit controller like the og hk

[normal summit]

nice, now do the cursed ending

[lusty valve]

FUCK THAT THEN I THOUGHT I HAD TO KILL HIM

[steel veldt]

Simple key for wormways

[dusk oasis]

why hornet is a spider? who named her?

[native canyon]

reaper is pretty in the way of standard progression, but I always got wanderer first

[open path]

Hunter

[storm oracle]

sorta doing it,as i am using witch crest my belovedf

[mental magnet]

in high halls for GUN

[kind frigate]

Crestless

[normal summit]

i got reaper first before wanderer, but you can technically grind for early wanderer

[native canyon]

hive queen vespa

[earnest cliff]

this photo is so hard

[steel veldt]

Reaper

[brisk bolt]

Did I just get ghost pinged?

[normal summit]

dont cure yourself first

[storm oracle]

Hornet is the daughter of Herrah the beast and the Pale King so she is a spider,but i am pretty sure she was raised in the Hive

[lilac ore]

I remarked that there is multiples tools in general that are badly designed in my opinion (like magma bell or flea egg) or just completly outclased and need a rework (like warding bell or longpin)

[foggy sandal]

I beat Moorwing after dying 20 times and now i went to early to sister splinter

[native canyon]

don't even need to grind that much thanks to the mossberry buffs lmao

[flint warren]

I only just got to the docks so uhhh this will take a while..

[native canyon]

god white lady and herrah look so good in this game

[burnt atlas]

I have about 190 hours logged in the game and i still hsve no idea where tf this room in The Slab leads too...

[native canyon]

vespa's there too I guess, she's cool

[normal summit]

she's a Weaver and Half-wyrm. She then trained by Vespa the hive queen

[steel veldt]

Vespa my queen

[odd tree]

Then check

[kind frigate]

Wait same lol

[storm oracle]

oh yeah,raised by WHite Lady. Mb

[fading barn]

surely this is another boss

[native canyon]

breakable wall in the tall room, it contains a frayed rosary string

[cedar patio]

best crests:
4 tools: architect
4 nail damage: wanderers
4 brute forcing: beast
4 spells: shaman
4 being ok at multiple things: witch
4 being slow: reaper
4 being nothing special: hunter

What bugs even are the bilewater mobs 'spose to be

[cedar bluff]

its pain trust

[normal summit]

you see that long vertical path on the right? there's a hidden door there

[flint warren]

And then she proceeds to lose TWICE to a vessel that woke up one day and decided to throw hands with the sun💔

[kind frigate]

Hunter is just an athletic murder weapon i love it

[mental magnet]

they don't have to be based on real bugs bruh

[native canyon]

hunter's pretty good, top 3 pogos in the game easily due to how it abuses the i-frames

[floral kindle]

Hey how come lost garmond becomes a zombie but lost lace pretty much stays sane

[normal summit]

she's most serving the white lady after all her training. making her the mother figure

[odd tree]

Vessel with the power of a god btw

[indigo eagle]

Fleas are so good. Their taste is so yum

[native canyon]

the strange trajectory of hunter pogo allows you to just phase through some enemies it's so fun lmao

[fleet reef]

Yea ig so, there's legit exploding jellyfish

[kind frigate]

Flea cotton candy when

[normal summit]

to be fair, Hornet is not void-born. So she's weaker

[odd tree]

I'm killing you

[flint warren]

they won’t find your body.

[cedar bluff]

[strange gazelle]

Do you think that someone in Team Cherry had some absolutely wicked australian illness and the only doctor that was able to help them was an outcast named Yarnaby, serving as an inspiration for the plot?

[indigo eagle]

I also like to eat Grubs

[hollow yoke]

wait what why is it blue now

[steel veldt]

Consume fleas

[native canyon]

in a game full of bugs they somehow managed to add bird enemies

dont forget that we got a loyal servant in bilewater

ok

[hollow yoke]

this attack also got bigger i swear wth is happening

[frigid dagger]

|| spoiler ||

[cedar patio]

silksong feels like it takes a few steps in the right direction and then right back to make up for it
it's a rough mix of progressive and regressive game design that comes out good but not as good as it's predecessor fr

[dusk oasis]

no
didn't know she has one

[civic vale]

hmmm. nah, only the weak are scared of losing their moneh

[lilac ore]

It will be easier to show with a tierlist looking thing I think. It will take some extra time

[normal summit]

cost 20 to make that string

[thick pilot]

what crests yall use

[civic vale]

they buffed the buff guy

[cedar bluff]

its basic survival instinct, people who dont care are weak.

[tough mulch]

avoided ts just to be a requirement anyways 💔

[kind frigate]

Yea once you get all of her maps its in the wishboard (Act 2)
I wish you the best of luck :)

[dusk oasis]

her skirt is up

[cedar bluff]

make a necklace if ur in bellhart then

[civic vale]

nah im just lazy to get to pebb and get the rosary string thingy

[cedar patio]

mostly wanderer

[mental magnet]

coral tower is peak

[dusk oasis]

ty

[normal summit]

Witch

[kind frigate]

Two of the most goated bosses in the game cmon

[tough mulch]

the way up tho

[twin prism]

is hornet vergil

[normal summit]

literally the easiest one to kill

[thick pilot]

I use reaper cuz I'm basic🥹✌️

[steel veldt]

Another vergil daughter

[dusk oasis]

is lace also a spider ?

[native canyon]

that's not a good enough answer

[thick pilot]

lace IS silk

[kind frigate]

I use reaper and hunter 🤝

[normal summit]

she's a sentient silk

[floral kindle]

Hunter and wanderer
Can't beat the classics

[thick pilot]

we can be basic together tein

[tough mulch]

the fuckass thing is in the bottom part then im gonna need to parkour my way up 💔💔💔

[vivid belfry]

I've evolved to the point of swapping crests as needed for different parts of the game

[mortal bluff]

Honorary dream warrior.

[kind frigate]

It is not THAT hard bro 😭

[steel veldt]

Very fire

[twin prism]

does lace come with shoe ok I'm dragging this joke long enough

[normal summit]

i kept chasing this mf with witch crest

[timid acorn]

when do you use Shaman

[thick pilot]

teach me.

[native canyon]

I like swapping crests when I'm bored, never touching reaper though fuck that shit ✌️

[vivid belfry]

do not use beast for pinstress. do not use wanderer for unraveled.

[vivid belfry]

Coral Tower

[tough mulch]

it disappears in like 3 secs for me twin

[normal summit]

arguably the most brutal fight as a witch crest main

[timid acorn]

why

[valid hare]

Reaper is good for aerials and if you are bad at managing range. It doesn’t have a lot else going for it. Hunter imo is a worse wanderer. It’s a middle ground that doesn’t do anything super well.

[floral kindle]

who tf at tc thought we needed no eyes round 3

[native canyon]

shaman is insane for coral tower

[vivid belfry]

incredibly protracted string of encounters with no benches

[kind frigate]

Reaper claps pinstress lowk

[cedar bluff]

witch crest is shockingly good against nyleth

[timid acorn]

Hunter is good for everything because it looks cool

[hollow yoke]

WHY AM I BLUE NOW PLEASE I NEED ANSWERS

[vivid belfry]

no way to get new tools without purposefully dying

[thick pilot]

REAPER MY GOOOAAAY

[tough mulch]

is there a bench in the top tho

[twin prism]

you guys switch crests for different things?

[vivid belfry]

which, you know, is a strategy but it's boring

[untold dune]

makes sense that the shellwood crest would be good against the shellwood boss tbf

[grim lark]

the default one for exploration and the reaper for bosses

[normal summit]

i use reaper for exploration, witch for everything else

[vivid belfry]

same is true for beast beasting on karmelita

[kind frigate]

Hunter has a very good dash attack, more range than wanderer and the focus thin
Also a lot of range on that pogo

[thick pilot]

putting the percents for your games in your user name is insane work

[fading barn]

easiest thing i have done

[timid acorn]

but why is Shaman good against that and not the other crests

[native canyon]

the best thing to do in coral tower is immediately kill the fucking alitas with pale nails or silk spear

[twin prism]

what I just use beast for everything and deal with it very fun

[untold dune]

a lot of others do it to i just like joining in on it

[timid acorn]

there is also the boosting damage ability

[solemn shore]

all of them except for shaman and beast

[valid hare]

Wanderer for general purpose, architect when I’m absolutely fed up with a boss or arena, reaper when it’s an arena that I have to stay mostly airborne or lots of small aerial enemies.

[storm oracle]

5 attempts,fucker down🤞

[grim lark]

the ones that spear themselves at you?

[thick pilot]

is shaman THAT bad

[vivid belfry]

because using one bench sit's worth of inventory for 4 arenas and a boss fight makes you run into scarcity issues

[normal summit]

yay, now time for cursed ending

[solemn shore]

I zon't like the healing

[storm oracle]

I fucked around with the Craw gauntlet more than i did with the literal final boss

[tough mulch]

go serenade that mf

how are you doing coral tower after getting shaman..

[native canyon]

these fucks

[storm oracle]

Nah

[twin prism]

good job

[vivid belfry]

which, yes, you can save the red tools for the end, but if you're going through most of the encounter without using red tools, why do you have them equipped

[valid hare]

Shamans actually pretty good, but you get it so late I think a lot of people don’t bother using it much.

[native canyon]

shaman is right after silk soar

[storm oracle]

Peak game 10/10

[untold dune]

you can get shaman after silk soar not after everbloom

[jolly wasp]

where is that

three silkslots is wild

Shaman with the volt blue is cool

[tawdry valley]

Thread for damage and then your choice of iframes

[carmine spire]

did i just miss it completely i thought the secret area was locked off until everbloom

[valid hare]

The range is nice too.

ohhh right i cant fight last judge since i skipped bell beast

[coarse leaf]

guys my friend ive been talking about made a new crest tier list

[native canyon]

"your choice of i-frames" either peak (cross stitch) or mid (sharpdart)

[normal summit]

she's not the final boss

[storm oracle]

I an dead serious,why would there be an act 3

[dull willow]

Volt vessels (the ball one) throw it, pogo on one, delver drills the other, throw again, repeat

[timid acorn]

they teleport WAY less often than a lot of enemies, and the projectile isnt the worst compared to some other bugs

[thick pilot]

ah personally my favorite is the sharp shadow equivalent

[grim lark]

whos gonna tell them

[solemn shore]

THERE'S AN ACT 3 PERIOD.

[native canyon]

grand mother silk is the final boss

[cedar patio]

that little caltrop throwing bug threw one at me and I shot a claw line past it and intercepted the caltrop mid air before starting a pogo chain on his head. absolutely skongmogged

having a cool unique, extremely plot effective and thematic actual final boss 👍
having a recycled boss you've fought three times with some new attacks as the final boss 👎

yippee nail art

[subtle fossil]

Then there's something you missed

[timid acorn]

doesnt stop them from being one the worst enemies in the game

[vivid belfry]

beastfly is sloppy but the first encounter is pretty fair

[golden turret]

w-w-w-why did you put yourself through all that pain

[lusty narwhal]

What next you're gonna say santa isn't real?

[native canyon]

did you complete the materium and hunter's journal

[storm oracle]

Santa ISN'T real. The Easter Bunny is

[bright dock]

Share your secrets

[hollow yoke]

ITS STIIIIIIILL BLUE WHY

[vivid belfry]

yes it does, the counterplay required to kill them is fun, unlike spit squits or stilkins

[grave monolith]

Tips?

[weary gorge]

I'm at 1h28m and I killed widow, got my nail upgrade etc. Omw to clap some Judge cheeks. You guys think I got this 5h run?

[dull willow]

Yeah fuck that, hunters journal is pain

[normal summit]

act 3 can only be unlocked once you finished a certain quest. How to get them? do everything you've missed

[cedar bluff]

effects and cool looking-ness

[native canyon]

the big problem with beastfly 2 is the fact the marmite's projectiles are like a worse version of the crystal hunter's

[dull willow]

If you don’t get hardstuck high halls arena then yea

[twin prism]

why and how is it blue

[storm oracle]

I have the taste of pharloom one still

[grim lark]

insert the undertale skeleton man line

[hollow yoke]

BUT IT WAS WHITE SINCE I STARTED THIS RUN AND JUST CHANGED IN THE MIDDLE OF SHELLWOOD FOR NO REASON

[lusty narwhal]

Bro what are you on? santa is real you must a naughty child that's why you never got gift from santa

[vivid belfry]

I miss you crystal hunter I'm sorry about the things I said

[storm oracle]

And the feast ones from huntress

[weary gorge]

Tips?

[merry kelp]

how the hell do i shut up ||twisted bud||

[wary storm]

detalisation, music, fighting system, builds, narrative design, all that are better than it was in hollow knight
quests are mostly boring shit like go get 20 something, people swap crests because they are used to reaper/wanderer/hunter, difficulty curve is broken, so first 3 hours is peaceful, then you get fucking destroyed, then you'll get stronger and stronger to the point that you will die in a very rare situations. Mistakes cost a lot, economics broken and you'll gonna need to grind a bit to get all what you want, even if you lost like 400 rosaries

[grim lark]

that one isnt required

[untold dune]

play slowly, try to get him to crush the adds during the downslam attack as it kills them

[grave monolith]

God yes

[vivid belfry]

you're still the worst enemy in hollow knight the game but you're not the worst enemy in hollow knight the franchise

[silver knoll]

Someone mentioned that Lost Lays' void attacks seemed to have been made for her and then they were tacked onto the regular enemies later. That's part of the problem. By the time of the boss fight you've already seen the void attacks hundreds of times.

[bright dock]

Does 100% Steel soul implicitely unlock the normal 100% achievement?

[lilac ore]

Actually I just don't know how to explain it, but I have that felling. Sorry
Instead, here expamples of red tools that are actually very distinct from other : flintslate, flea brew, plasmium fial, dweller drill, rosary canon, cogflies and tacks (but these two are rather overpowered), and the other spike trap thing

[weary gorge]

Disagree, silksong 10/10

[twin prism]

pain

[ornate torrent]

for sb2 prioritize killing the tarmites over everything

[cedar bluff]

nah u just didnt notice before

[grave monolith]

I get too focused on position of myself and beastly. Sometimes I forget to track his add ons and their projectiles

[native canyon]

crystal hunter... was a hero, and I just couldn't see it...

[storm oracle]

Then wich is?

[hollow yoke]

I SWEAR IM NOT CRAZY!

[grave monolith]

I brought boomerang

[dull willow]

Not really sure what to say besides get good, it would be a lot easier if you spent a little bit more time getting an extra pale oil, I got into act 2 by like 1 hr 13 min mark

[lilac ore]

Rude.

[cedar bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/game-interface-video-game-battle-buttons-fight-gif-5014208634238361296

[grave monolith]

But it’s jank kinda.
This one video has a dude suggesting to NOT pogo on his swoop attack. I think that’s sus

[lusty narwhal]

I guess pharloom made us understand how good we had it in hallownest

[vivid belfry]

proejctiles? Is thsi beastfly 2?

[bright dock]

Oh, so I can just do that and not cry that I missed garmond & shakra fights, thanks

[twin prism]

says dude with zote username HMMMMMMM

[storm oracle]

Kill him. Real chads always kill Toriel and Papyrus

[grim lark]

im presuming all of the ones that are more plot important that dont just give you random items

[native canyon]

silksong's spectrum of enemies is incredibly cool and fun to engage with (most choir bugs) and then infinite suffering (squatcraw, marmite, spit squit)

[cedar patio]

this game is good but bad in enough places that are important to put it below it's predecessor. would recommend though, but lightning in a bottle and all that

[vivid belfry]

if so, my advice is you fuck off and come back when you can instakill his adds

[dull willow]

Heh.

[grave monolith]

Yes! The first one was kind of annoying. This beastfly 2 is a punk

[vivid belfry]

if you don't have threadstorm you are going to suffer greatly

[timid acorn]

Shakra fight was so annoying i think i hated it the most out of any boss

[bright dock]

HUGE

[lilac ore]

By the way, do you unlock a unique title screen after beating the game in steel soul? I've never seen it anyway so maybe someone could show it

[cedar bluff]

real chads DONT do that infact ur jst bad

[grave monolith]

I have it!

[weary gorge]

I think i can get the second pale oil on the way. I upgraded my crest to have an extra red slot and I also increased pouch size so im hoping to use the cogflies and the saws to hopefully get it

[thick pilot]

is it really that good

[bright dock]

Any tips for 30h?

[storm oracle]

In fact,real chads only do pacifist to get to genocide

[grave monolith]

Just been using my silk on heals lol. As soon as the adds come it fucks my rhythm up

[vivid belfry]

use it to instakill the spawns, the longer they live the more damage you will inevitably take

[native canyon]

I think you only need needle 3 to one shot the marmites with most silk skills

[dull willow]

It’s right above trobbio lol

[cedar bluff]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/586931790208434203/1424723621238014055/image0.gif

[wary storm]

yep, this game right now is 9/10, but first game was so far away further

[native canyon]

they go down in 3 hits with needle 3 iirc

[storm oracle]

Nah,i'd win

[vivid belfry]

yes but its power isn't as important as its directionality here

[weary gorge]

It is but you dont need it for beastfly 2 there are other ways to do it and they arent going to have a hard time with him

[vivid belfry]

it lets you spawncamp the flying bastards

[cedar bluff]

bro u cant win against judgement itself

[storm oracle]

I'd win

[native canyon]

also destroys their projectiles for when it summons 2 at a time

[cedar bluff]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/586931790208434203/1424734348728340490/caption-2.gif

[grim lark]

but what if he’d win

[hollow yoke]

one of my favorite skips ❤️

[storm oracle]

I drank all the water😛

[vivid belfry]

WHY THE FUCK DOES THAT WORK BUT YOU CAN'T DEFLECT THEM WITH THE NEEDLE

WHY IS THIS FIGHT A THREAD STORM CHECK

[cedar bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/mods-gif-919334760262788322

[native canyon]

team cherry felt silly

[dull willow]

30h isn’t hard, just don’t get hardstuck on any bosses and be generally good, don’t mess around doing random shit and just do the 100% completion criteria (all tools, silkskills, spool fragments, mask shards, silk hearts)

[storm oracle]

I'm a human and against clankers😛

[grave monolith]

Beast fly imo is kinda shitty boss.

[cedar bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/joke-gif-20931370

[weary gorge]

Its not tho lol

[valid hare]

I do feel that the bosses are cool but they could’ve pushed the envelope a little harder, especially on some of the late game ones.

[dull willow]

cog flies 😔, boring item

[storm oracle]

It was infact not a joke😛

[grim lark]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/586931790208434203/1424460612217606184/image0.gif

[lusty narwhal]

It is for most ppl too

[native canyon]

it kind of is lol

[vivid belfry]

you speak without thinking

[native canyon]

thread storm also just lets you decimate the beastfly itself

[dull wagon]

Just 100 percent the normal game. Time for steel soul

[grave monolith]

Like other bosses, there are clear mechanics to engage with that are skill oriented. This fight is “let’s just add enemies, make the fight contingent on boss moveset RNG on falling platforms and summons”

[dull wagon]

Also don’t go into act 3 without using the song clave farming spot before

[weary gorge]

Lol I just want to beat hhg and clear in 5 hours fr. I havent used the cogflies yet but im hoping they can take away the pain

[cedar bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/lace-silksong-gif-23857333

[lapis minnow]

BABY shit now do it with a Wii balance board instead of a controller

[native canyon]

the platform thing is cool but the adds are the worst

[valid hare]

Honestly by the second beastly encounter I was just pogoing on top Of it with wanderer almost the whole fight

[vivid belfry]

I have beaten beastfly 2 without thread storm and it's incredibly fucking annoying and difficult, just skip it with thread storm

[weary gorge]

https://youtu.be/RqNlkkIPIYg?si=IBc7ql2ptpb3K3rI

[storm oracle]

Lace DOES have allat

[vivid belfry]

there's no reason to do anything else

[dull wagon]

Why rip😭

[cedar bluff]

does have what

[grave monolith]

Might take the double silk charm

[vivid belfry]

do it without clawline

[weary gorge]

I did it with beast crest and the dash through ability and it was fine

[grave monolith]

If I can kill those fuckers as soon as they spawn I should win.

[cedar patio]

I'd give it more of a 8/10 imo

[storm oracle]

You know what she has😛

[dull wagon]

Wait yall should I try to do the 5 hour achievement before steel soul?

[dull willow]

now do it with all normal controls but up is now the enter button

[native canyon]

why did they give collector annoying anti-airs that it spams all the time

[cedar bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-lace-lace-silksong-alright-thats-it-aight-thats-it-gif-3534831597557595095

[weary gorge]

This is like saying do it without threadstorm lol

[grave monolith]

Tried using the tacks and the bug bots. No dice. That YouTube video sucked

[lilac ore]

And this is the perfect time to ask this : how many of you knew that beast crest have a unique taunt?

[mental magnet]

Lace is bad

[timid acorn]

i just remembered how usefull that was to kill the flying shits

[vivid belfry]

this is my point

[native canyon]

beastfly is gonna be hellish in the pantheons if they do the bindings again lmao

[upper copper]

Hi so a while ago I was playing and was able to float without double jumping but haven't been able to do it since. I had smoked a joint and forgotten the muscle memory. Is there a trick to it?

[grave monolith]

“Don’t down pogo a boss that you can get half a dozen extra hits in with. Just spam your tools and hopefully you have shards”

[dull willow]

Just silkspear…

[weary gorge]

Your point is it requires threadstorm im demonstrating that other things, like clawline, can do it and easily

[lilac ore]

In what way?

[hollow yoke]

BOOO i cant open it 💔

[native canyon]

thread storm is better against the boss itself

[mental magnet]

hmmmmmmmm

[cedar bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-hollow-knight-silk-issue-silk-issue-gif-15588893687607418966

[vivid belfry]

I wouldn't call it "easily" considering the person in this video spends half the time getting knocked into lava

[dull willow]

Shell wood bell bench or greymoor

[cedar patio]

saying it's a 9/10 would put it too near hollow knight, rdr2, and gow3 for me. simply not happening

[neon plume]

||FREE PALESTAG||
||DEATH TO ISROACHEL||

[hollow yoke]

no i know which one im missing its after bell beast
but i skipped her this run

[weary gorge]

This is me in the video lol but it really wasnt that hard

[dull wagon]

So… should I do 5 hour achievement or steel soul 100% first

[native canyon]

you get more opportunities + it punishes staggers the best

[dull willow]

😭 how does one skip the bell beast

[steady abyss]

lets just say that i just got the act 2 ending

[vivid belfry]

takes too long

[weary gorge]

This fight was nowhere near hard enough to be a threadstorm check imo

[vivid belfry]

the adds spawn at the top of the screen

[lilac ore]

I legit laughed at this, is this bad?

[cedar bluff]

i dont know anymore

[hollow yoke]

a bunch of annoying heal stalls and cocoon skips through wormways and getting wallclimb before dash 🔥

[obtuse oriole]

so im on my second playthrough when can i get vesti crest yellow

[valid hare]

Nah. You can easily beat beastly a dozen dif ways. Threadstorm is good for the adds but not required.

[weary gorge]

Wild

[neon plume]

All the bodies shall be unrecognizable

[dull willow]

Beastfly wasn’t that hard for me personally, never had it be a threadstorm necessity

[terse stone]

why the fuck does the unraveled have so much hp

[wary storm]

yep more like 7-8/10, those things making the process uncomfortable

[vivid belfry]

I will stop calling Beastfly 2 a D tier fight when there is a non-threadstorm way to deal with tarmite projectiles

[steady abyss]

all silk no song 💔

[dull willow]

I still think silksong should be buffed overall

[storm oracle]

Yall HAVE to be lying about act 3. I did every quest i am sure

[lilac ore]

Uh...

Don't tell me you never though about talking to Eva again after you first met her...

[weary gorge]

Yeah if anything beastfly 1 was harder than 2

[indigo narwhal]

Team cherry is evil (spoilers for act 2)
||I just beat the cogwork dancers like yesterday and the last part if the battle made me feel evil because one of them were dancing alone 😭 ||

[dull willow]

I dunno about all that

[vivid belfry]

I recommend needle strikes and cogwheels

[valid hare]

Harpoon users:

[cedar patio]

yea
it's a good game it's just missing that flavor. that flair. it's a damn shame and I think about it every time I play lol

[vivid belfry]

savor that cogwheel recommendation because it's never gonna happen again

[obtuse oriole]

bro ik i need to speak to eva but how many locket should i use to get it bruh

[terse stone]

it does not need three fucking phases, it would make far more sense to end after the second knockdown

[mental magnet]

literally how

[silver nacelle]

There's also an area between his head and the wall that's safe when he dashes.

[verbal quartz]

Is there anything else to do at Icy Summit after defeating her? Can someone confirm this for me? I'm at 92%

[steady abyss]

I recommend going full on bob the builder

[weary gorge]

Could be because I fought him as early as possible

[dull willow]

Most satisfying thing is beating pinstress but you’re above her the entire fight, just pogoing her so she can’t escape

[wary mica]

I'm struggling so hard with widow bro is this mf actually an early game boss

[vivid belfry]

yes, tacks also get tremendous use here

[steady abyss]

flea maybe

[dull willow]

Laser silk shot if u have ruined tool

[terse stone]

oh i can do it, i'm just not having fun lmao, the fight is kinda dragging on

[mental magnet]

silksong vs hollow knight is like hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby

[wary storm]

well only thing that makes me calm is first and last hollow knight trailers, there was like 3 years of difference between them, but the progress was insane. Devs will cook hopefully

[shrewd gate]

Is this a good setup? Using reapers crest

[cedar bluff]

[near stag]

istg I just heard a Stilkin in the background say "shindaro"

[vivid belfry]

my recommendations were purely for decreasing kill time

[steady abyss]

Pollip Pouch 🗣️

[weary gorge]

I did prefer lava over the 3 different adds. The one fireball add was way more manageable imo

[verbal quartz]

anything more?

[merry kelp]

honret

[finite gulch]

Anyone know how in the world to not die in steel soul when the tiny ants can throw stuff at you constantly 😭 I can't do this anymore

[dull willow]

Reaper crest 💔

[floral kindle]

Yeah
Of skong is hydrogen bomb of bullshit

[vivid belfry]

fun fact, tacks are the most efficient tool in the game in terms of damage per shell shard

[lilac ore]

Memory lockets have nothing to do with Eva. To my knowledge, she gibe you upgrades afer you defeat a certain ammount of boss. Not idea what are the exact numbers required

[neon plume]

They shall be dump in the burning mass grave where they shall never know peace

[vivid belfry]

anybody wanna guess what the least efficient is?
