||bro is stuck in this animation ||
Horrible mini game tbh
did you know you can beat him to death
not to death but you can beat him up
He canonically outruns sonic. He was just holding back.
rating silksong bosses based on how much id want to hug them

Groal Top tier? Rage bait
Bro groal has got to be FILTHY
clover dancers in mid

Raging Conchfly

Enraged conchfly
It definitely should be
GARAMA!
guess the boss from the emojis
π
Mb lmao
cute racist spider
Damnπ«©

With all due respect, the runback to raging conchfly is gonna make me blow my brains
π£ π π¦

Ansgty Actor

clover dancers
Wait you mean the very room before the boss????
Great Nailsage Sly
Collector sure is an interesting...."boss"
shitttt
collector as a fight starts improving FAST as soon as you start doing non full gear stuff
rating silksong areas based on how good they (probably) smell 
time for the best god damn silksong gameplay of your life
πͺ΄ π©βπΌ πͺ°
Bilewater should be on the top
π π π©Ά
trust me i love bilewater but it probably smells like piss in there lets be honest
Pinstress
the waters are filled with muckmaggots, and muckmaggot/muckroaches are a culinary delicacy
Broodmother
hornet spamming tacks in every fuckingboss and laughingh abt it
Showers fear this man
it actually is very interesting!
I'm trying to do the cursed ending rn
SS-discussion fears me
Not particularly
Phantom
I feel like whiteward would smell like Clorox tho
i just dont like how groal encourages you to play. it's kinda boring and it sucks
This final boss is just so good
No?
πͺ΅ βͺ π guess the AREA (this is easy)
whispering vaults?
Yeah, no. You're kinda just being corny nowβ₯οΈ
is this where im supposed to find the snare setter?
no, you're the one who kind of sucks and is boring
get the docks down
π§ββοΈ π¦ββ¬
crawfather
too easy?
Extremely
??
omg hi sonia
Room above this one
yo
aight thx dude
See what i mean? Gotta get your funny up
Wait guys where's the shortcut to conchfly i dont see it
nuh uh
β³ π πͺΈ guess the area (genuinely cannot get easier than ts)
Yuh huh
karak
proof or fake
Watcher on the Edge
π€ πΆ
i said AREA
cogwork dancers
Oh. Crust King Khann
fourth chorus
that would also work but not what I intended
π ragebait
who's that?
Ts is not hard
Someone. Idk
yeah but there would be two robots
This is the path i take idk if this is the shortcut or not
I need advice, i'm stuck missing 3 enemies and 1 shard mask for 100%, should I keep searching by myself (because it's possible to find it naturally) or should I check for clues online ?
Also nuu gave me advice to find one of the enemies but i searched everywhere and can't find it
i cant belive the
emoji was right at guessing what baby hornt looked like
just finished mount fay on 1 hp
Bro became self-aware π

Lost and Found

Holy parry

π¨βπΌ π₯ β€οΈ
Ohhh alright thanks
Im sorry bro, but you're fighting casper for half of this fight
She uses a pin
Flame Parent

The father with a burning heart
π :D
a loving father oh god the house is on fire
burned pregnant man

elite ball knowlodge
man I'm sad no one answered my question , is 1h19min46s good for a first speedrun ? :3

I am NEVER doing steelsoul
Didn't do it in the original won't do it here
That one's pretty cool
do it for the completion
Understandable but there are some cool upgrades tho
I got all the endings in the original I'm fine with that
π π΅ πͺ β°
π°ββοΈ β°οΈ
I actually got every achievement but beating nkg, true hunter, and any of the steelsoul ones or speed run ones
Guys what does count towards the 100% thingy cuz i got 97% in act3
Will there be anything to fight bosses again like Godhome?
ira
Hearts, mask shards, abilities, crests etc.
Ty
is the groal skip patched
damn he got some moves
Yo bro i went there and ended up fighting another boss instead π
Is this a joke am i being trolled
I love how || u can here grand mother silk screeming in the background some time to time in act 3 and then the screen goes moody || its horryfying
No i mean it
early game silksong is hollow wallet
But u get a cool charm from that boss
Where's the shortcut tho, is it after that boss
groal skip patched??
No i think before
Voltvessel one yeah
πͺ€ (only one emoji this time, because you guys are getting them too easily)
|| I wish it would stop after you beat the game. I was hoping my neighbor in bellhart wouldn't be so sad anymore either||
Oh, so its somewhere in the volt area
ALLL the steel city work ive done today, map enemies and ideas 
I think silksong is easier than hollow knight
moochmooch muhhh muhh mooch gopu mooog
nooooooooooooooooooooo
erm... what the fuhπ
woo im doing crazy
Mister Mushroom.
I think it's a harder overall package, but I didn't have anything take me as long as the first game
The bosses just feel super easy and the fights are quick
Mimua.
I think this is only true bc no SS DLC
6οΈβ£ 7οΈβ£ π€£ π€£ π π₯ βοΈ π 
I hope they make hard bosses
Guys || coral tower is horrible || any help ?
my username
try attacking the enemies it helps a lot
Shaman crest and thread storm spam
no your name is 777777 wait a minute thats six sevens
Well dont have it yet
Why is Sherma the most annoying NPC in the game? Gives the worst quest and has that annoying ahh chant
The bosses here are definitely harder than anything in base HK, but nothing compared to likes of NKG and the godhome variants.
take that back
six sevens
2nd lace fight wants me to kill my self i fucking hate ts
wait till the third one
I think it'd be cool if we could select different melodies to play on the needolin, maybe a new NPC that teaches music π€·ββοΈ this idea stems purely from the fact that I want to play the conductor's melody when I use the needolin
Just wondering, how long has it been since you changed your username?
I think there also being more variations of quickslash/fragile strength super builds contributes, because you are more likely to find something that works for you
A lot lol, its a nickname for the server
fr bro why is it so hard like hes so small
I keep it for the fun
Fuck Sherma
this without context sounds weird
Imagine if the twisting bud ending turned all of pharloom into bilewater
BRO THERE'S NO SHORTCUT AT THAT COLUMN
Oh...., filling an apology form rn
The last judge ended my steel soul run π
do the first judge then
i love spamming gifs
A door ended mine
Big Flea on S because I simply love the Fleas (more than the Grubs)
moss mother didπ
where lace 2?
S, beside Sett
guess the boss
100% steelsoul fumbled to lost lace weee
cogwork dancer
last judge
expected tbh, I decided to try it without practice
dang it
will just practice for next run
chat am i cooking with the steel city ideas tho
what does the last picture lead to on the right
do yall think godmaster will come back
so you're saying deaths still count on lost lace??
her 3rd/4th phase sucks. The visual clutter of the arena ruins what could've been a fun boss
ll deserves to go in f i hate her istg every single time i fight her i do worse and worse im crashing out
ofc they do
whats on the right again
lowk guys I had an idea. What if they make another grimm troupe dlc but we fight the new grimm that we raised in hollow knight and he would have a completely different move set
this is the dashing fire attack thing
bc the nightmare heart feeds off dying kingdoms and pharloom is a dying kingdom
Faut s'entrainer en partie non-steelsoul sur lace avant et ca passe
sigma!
i dont think anyone speaks french here
Pas grave π
well duh, I just thought maybe I could get it done without practicing
nah i dont speak baugette
and just ego it. As I said, next run I will just practice and call it a day
i was hesitating in between replying with sigma or skibidi
I dont want to speak english I got 12/20
these birds are pissing me off
but it felt a bit cheesy
Oh yeah
Sad
Do I go with beast crest or nah?
im doing,,thestupid craw gauntlet, ive failed like numerous times because i just genuinely suck at silksong and for some reason the birds in particular anger me even more
depends on playstyle
Aggressive
beast/wanderer
Let me check out wanderer
Silksonf
tung tungπ
@severe hemlock thank you so much, you saved my sanity.
and the worst part is is its not even the gauntlet im mad about, it's the fact i have to travel so far just to get there every time i die
it has a short range though which can be buffed using longclaw
hey guys if you go to the big bell elevator right when you get to act 3 are you gonna miss anything π€
no u can get back to surface
oh ig im gonna do that
Ill try it
ignore what i deleted
yo isnt lace suposed to be a child gng
WTF IS THIS NPCS PURPOSE OMG
no
they exist
what is YOUR purpose?
IS THAT IT, ALL SHE DOES IS HIDE AND POPS UP IN HUNTERS MARCH LIKE BISH MOVE
if you find them 10 times you get the super secret ending
BREH
and unlock act 4
cap
dont voided enemies deal 2 damage even if they dont normally?
yes
i beat the birds
i jsut fied loke 13 hours intoo dtell soulll i hate this gane i hate this gaem so much
now for the boss fight i eventually know is going to happen
you still take 2 damage with barbed bracelet its just free now
Well, that's 13 more hours of experience
nooooo
i i died to the forebrothers
but hey at least i beat gms and got the achievement for normally beating the game in ss but i was really hoping for 100%
is it not 4
Hollow knight pablo will be canceled. TC will be working on hollow knight seth instead
when I do Steel Soul, ngl I'm just going to rush Architect
No
It really doesnt help tbh
be a good little gamer and stick with hunter otherwise DON'T DO STEEL SOUL.
I already did a hunter only playthrough for Speedrun 1
Then do it again
π
ITS THE CORRECT WAY TO PLAY THE GAME
Why not? Wouldn't overdose be helpful?
my source? trust me bro
I'd say its better with Reaper or wanderer
Fighting lost lace is like taking candy from a baby
Except the baby is angry, buff, and about double your speed
Too much stuff on screen u could just not see yourself dying
I guess voided enemies are hard capped to only do 2 masks
I did it. I beat Silksong. Wow. Holy peak
and the baby has a needle and wants to kill you very badly
yeah ig voided enemies only do 2
i have a really really cool idea for this area tho
no
Guys lost lace is literally the best boss in the game
Why does it look like a leg?
wait tf
Im not sure how to deal with her second ohase
I swear if you equipped barbed bracelet you take 4 damage to enemies that do 2 damage
focus more on doding more than attacking, also every 3 attacks she does the dash across the screen thing
Ok
trust me itll all make sense
people complaining about widow feels so release week core
chat which blue tools should really just be yellow tools
If she does 3 consequent bell attacks shes gonna do the quick 2 damage attack
Ok thanks!
I got a clip for you. Might take a bit to send though
correct, but it doesnt seem to work on void enemies
FUCKFUCKFUCKUFKDSBOASIGHOISDJG LACE WS SO CLSOE TO DYING POSSIBLY LIKE 5 MORE HITS OMFL OMFLMFOMFSL
Is bile water worse than sinners road or is it just more of the same?
normal enemies yes but bosses no
Itβs safe and fun
Guys Hunter crest is the only crest for the final boss. Youβre losing absolute cinema value if you donβt use it
Bro Hunterβs March is so scary on a first playthrough
stop ragebaiting
Both
you take 4 damage from bosses that do 2 normally
wait i confused hunter with beast, nvm u valid
yeah
We calling good opinions ragebaiting now π
bro the shakra fight is fr crazy
i missed it, 234 journal go brrr
Ping me when its up π
bug with void enemies
is bellbeast just named eira or something
guys where do i find the normal worms from wormways if i got the area infected i need them for the diary
weavenest
How do architect crest users hit the downslashesπ it's so hard
top right of wormways is free from lifeblood methinks
It's not explicitly mentioned anywhere in the game, but whenever you call bell beast hornet shouts "Eira!" so we assume that's her name
bruh shakra is so fast that the boss fight is slow ykwim
Thereβs one part where Iβm just aura farming, but the clip is a good general of how to play the fight
i genuinelly didnt know this
top right worm ways
Lol alr
FR BRO after i saw that pogo i un-unlocked that crest
she also says it quietly after bell eater so i think thats just it
you can charge it just like every other architect nail attack so it goes farther
No itβs Barnaby and her children Barnaby Jr, Barnaby 2, and Barnabus
YYOU CAN CHARGE DOWNSLASHES????
charge it and itβs literally hunters pogo
diff angle but yea
EHAT THE FUCK
hm yes very useful indeed yes
Jesus
HIW DOES SOMEONE FIGURE THIS IUT THE GAME DOESNT TELL ME THIS EVER
best boss
A lil short
so my whole idea for this beige balm area is that you are repairing and riding a failed tramway constructed by the citadel to transport stuff to the steel city. you need to go into houses and fight arenas and pick up lost parts to repair the failed tramway. the scenery is beautiful but the experience isnt.
I actually canβt tell if youβre being serious or not lol
Just defeated volt boss and got the item thingy is this the hollow purple people are talking about
it is actually helpful
Nvm it despawned on me
Oh gotcha, thanks
also how didnβt u dodge the grim attack the first time
Sometimes it helps, sometimes you'd really rather the enemy be dead instead
wait what
Anyways how hard is khann's dream compared to the rest of the dreams because im about to take a look inside..π
Did anyone else ascend during architects melody?
i couldnt find this one there
I heard he's easy, idk about the gauntlet however...
top right worm ways
yo does dueling with shakra again have any changes?
Top 8 bosses. It should be higher but thereβs just so much peak in this game
No
oh this one
yea top right
I heard it was worse than conductor's idk
Khan and Nyleth are pretty easy. They are both gimmick fights. You can even hit him still when he is in his corals
sooo what did that duel give me
Its not worse its just 3 in a row
Im sure its only just the drilling enemies, which is one thing i hate, and a gauntlet which is another thing i hate, put you know minus x minus equals plus or something
I see
Just an entry in hunters journal
Nothing ground breaking at all but it just hit me how easy it is to get Wanderers early
Like just get to wormways with the bone bottom simple key and use the other entrance to Bonegrave and boom, done! They account for you not having cling grip! You can just do Lace 1 with Wanderers if you wanted!
The gauntlet's alright. You get a skip to the last one after beating the first few floors
Oh its floors i see
How many times will i have to spam my whole arsenal of toolsπ
So in retries you only have to beat one gauntlet room before getting to Khan
thats what i did AS SOON as the game releases and i was one of the first people to get a crest
they also designed fourth chorus with only hunters crest in mind
I mean i dont really need khann, i did clover instead because they're COOLER!, but im still doing khann because my ego fucking sucks
actually you get a crest as soon as you start a new game
Wdym?? I donβt remember anything changing when I fought them with Wanderers/Reaper vs Hunters
a crest you obtain ahem
with hunters u destroy fire balls with reapers/wanderers you pogo off them
thereβs a video about it
Dude imagine doing that cool wormwayβs skip Iβve heard about, getting flea brew and a needle upgrade, and then going back and fighting Lace 1 thatβs gotta be cathartic
You get a memento for that
cant go through blasted steps tho
surely not a bad place to sleep in , right?
oh wait Iβm dumb
Silk song pantheon totally real leak
tsk tsk, im eating the heart sorry aint nothing staying on my desk
I DID IT OML (Act 3 spoilers)
Or sinners road which side note do you think Lace can get stained since sheβs all silk? Cuz if so being in sinners road must suck so much imagine getting touched by the waters as her
βact 3 spoilersβ doesnβt even spoiler the image
Hi guys
its spoilered
well discord doesnβt think so it thinks I clicked when I didnβt
No but you get a reward of a totem that looks like her after beating a boss
Who dat in the baaaack π
congrats!
Updated tier list of mine
Grand Mommy Silk
β€οΈβπ©Ή
Joker don't
invalid bell beast not atop of B tier
You don't know me, but my name's Sai
oh no
grandmother silk
Didn't enjoy Voltwyrm as much. Very easy gimmick boss, very underwhelming despite being a secret
you're right batman ...
Dude can you even kill craggler without cogflies? Like I donβt think you can pogo off of it and itβs extremely mobile
thank u! im actualyl so happy that took like 3 hours π
i know lel
Fair enough
I can see the tier list doesnβt have bell beast above last judge
Just hit it once, hide, repeat
so itβs invalid
maybe u can clawline?
You can
I did it in Act 3 with Silk Skills
Minor spelling mistake, list is invalid
You are not deadass π
Bellbeast is not better then Judge
I killed him before getting Silk spear
Real (I didnβt make the template)
do u need craglings for journal achievement?
FINALLY
Yea
you ainβt free yet (act 3)
SHIT I FORGOT TO SPOILER IT
βBosses are like the last words of a sentence, itβs crucial that they are handled goodlyβ -mossbag, rest in peace, gone but never forgotten
Hoping the message dosent get deleted
You're in the spoilers channel dw
Phew
It's fine, spoilers are allowed, and you're not that far in the game
I got double jump before beating trobio
And im about to fight the 2nd version of lace
Buzzsaws cut trees π
how about 2nd version of trobbio
Well, you have ||an entire Act + the setup to get it|| left
I just beat trobio what do you think
Silksong is so good
do u got both entrances to citadel unlocked?
I haven't even left act one yet (I have beaten last judge though)
i hate you skarrsinger karmelita but she kinda
Yes
you should open the back path through the mist
Although I did have to beat them a second time to prevent myself from going to act 2
That what I'm gonna do after I do everything else possible in act one
We, YES WE are all forfeiting all material values when our lord and savior mossbag returns from the dead π
Nah she's goated
Explore Sinner's Road
Ok should I get vaultkeepers melody on 1 mask or go heal
shes hard to kill
did u get ur only free needle upgrade for act 1
Already completed it except for mist/Bileewater
Heal
She's one of the best 'duel' fights imo. It's really fair tbh
Yeah, I've done that
Alr
i know its a good but shes hard to kill
also nothing is locked if u enter act 2 itβs only act 3
Yeah but apparently it makes some stuff harder
So im gonna do my act one first
have u been to slab yet?
It doesn't, that's Act 3
I don't think so if that's a nickname
i personally don't like how after u beat true ending in both hk and skong it just reverts back to before u beat the game i feel like there shld be something after for the plot and stuff like if u beat final ending the void gets contained or whatever
Are you sure, I looked at moorwings wiki page and he gained health in act 2
did u see those wardenflies if so get captured by them it doesnβt active any acts
guys how do i get lumafly for ss?
I haven't seen them yet but I wanna get captured by one for that room in the docks
u dont
the one with simple lock?
oh nvm
Dym the black threaded thing?
Bc that's Act 3
No a different one in docks, it's where the wardenfly takes you apparently
She telegraphs all her attacks, you can parry most of them (even her curvesickles), you can pogo off her spikes, and the arena is big enough for heal windows. The only thing you can really mess up bad is getting hit with her jump attack
Oh I thought it had a different one for act 2 aswell
the fly takes u up to slab near the citadel
wdym
Oh
wait dy mean lumafly as in like scarab or lumafly as in lantern
but you are still in act 1
He might be in that room then,I'll go there later
i dont know i just want mods for ss on macos
Alr cya guys ion wanna get any spoilers of bosses from other people chatting
Reminder that Toby Fox loves Silksong
took me this long to finish everything in act 2 π
yall who voices phantom i need to know
a bug
yes baby hornet voices phantom
Should i try to beat sillsong with only upslashes and warding bell damage?
seriously tho who voices phantom, they are so talented
idk
check the credits?
When will moss bag return?
lotta people saying lace will be the next protag but honestly I heavily doubt that since how will her moveset be able different from hornet's?
it doesnt have phantom listed π
its pablo
real!
||lost lace|| such a stupid boss
is this rage bait
Iβm just mad rn cuz I canβt beat her
itβs sherma
that game would be too easy
do you have 2 brain cells or more
welp you cant cheese lost lace unless u own more then 2 brain cells
looked it up, so far no public information about it.
fweak
Anyone here completed the materium?
nah they would send literal god as a regular enemy
me
Mind sending me a ss of urs when u can? Wanna see what are the 2 things im missing
guys who would win sherma or every one in hollow knight/silksong expect sherma
did you do all the corriers
Can you show a pic of yours
Unfortunately not rn, i usually play at morning and its 9 pm to me rn
ic
Pretty sure not, actually didnβt do most since i have small patience for those
uh
thats prob it then
hrost hlace
Neat, thanks pal 
yer
I DID IT I KILLED SKARRSINGER
only the necessary ones, the pale oil quest and the queens egg. The rest are just for farming beads I think
lost my steel soul to moorwing
starting to like the fact the fleas cook his ass in act 3 
si
WHAT DO YOU MEAN
no silk
and the water?
no i have enough to bind
what's harder
all of act 3 or all of steel soul mode up to completing act 2?
yes
the second one
steel soul is absolutely cooking me rn so id say act 3 is easier
yeah exactly
how hard could steel soul possibly be gng
all of act 3 because not being able to kill the caretaker deals 3 masks of psychological damage
how mnay times have u died in ur main save
how can I find out
oh funny, a slight bug - dont have poisoned tool π
you can after you gather 3 hearts
warding bell really helps, but its really unforgiving if you dont have a route planned or experience with the harder bosses (looking at you moorwing)
can someone add me:<
he dies incidentally, you don't get to kill him
is there a way to find out
Awww
artist is SnakeDraws
okay you have definitely died more then once in act 1 and 2 so yeah Iβll say steel soul harder
what's harder, speedrun 1 or steel soul?
steel soul
speedrun achievement gives you 5 hours, which is pretty lenient given that even from the very early days silksong's speedruns have been under 2 hours long
steel soul > literally everything else
Really? Can't you just get all the power ups first before doing any of the hard things?
true ending was like 3 hours on release right?
whereβs the nearest bench to groal besides bellway bench
where u get long claw
I think the first true ending speedrun took 5 hours and the current record is a little above 3:30
yeah they give u a lot of time
bleh~
the closest is longclaw area
Why do weavers have huge foreheads?
That's after Groal though
Big brain
you can break the floor to the bilewater using volt vessels
MANDO RENDIO SOLAVENGA
Really? I have to try that some day
idk if itβs patched or not
Not me scrolling on Pinterest and finding out that Silksong fan artists have been popping off and I had no idea outside of the few things posted here and on YouTube
probably patched
but I used it to skip groal
They patched it
imagine skipping groal
ah
groal th GOAT
What bug is Groal even meant to be anyway
Heβs hideous no matter what but Iβm curious regardless
soul dictator
some weird frog with wings
where do i find pinstress after defeating her?
Canβt remember actually
Part of me thought she just stayed on that frozen mountain waiting for Hornetβs promise to come true and the void to go away

much harder than hk's steel soul
a frog most likely
Harder in early-midgame, way easier in lategame ngl
awooo
I dunno Iβve been getting farther into Silksongβs steel soul than HKβs. Then again, I havenβt given HKβs steel soul 80+ hours of my time
made a bingo card for this chat, lets see how long it takes for me to hit bingo
Havenβt even gotten an ending yet btw
show us bingo card rq
its taken a year off my little flea life and i've just got to phantom 
Neat
hk's steel soul felt just like a regular run to me. never died or got close to dying in the first game
no
So much pain, so many tries
Thatβs a cool, casual way to flex on everyone
I'll post it once I hit bingo
Yeah, these games are much easier the second time around
blackout bingo or just 5 in a row bingo?
5 in a row
Whatβs the public opinion on Bell Eater
kill
love it, but 90% of people say it sucks
did you know the ass points in the direction of the first spit
a very interesting fight
because I didn't
My opinion of Bell Eater is that it's got a lot of good and some really obvious bad and overall it's a high-B/low-A fight. The creature itself is really cool.
meh boss. maybe it has floorless potential but otherwise I donβt enjoy it
i found bell eater really easy
I do wonder: since the Bell Beast can annihilate it does that mean the bell water is very weak or Derra is very strong
did you perhaps lock the fuck in after seeing the name?
It falls to voltvessels or witch bind nuking really easily
we weakened the bell eater
oh absolutely
anything for my baby bell beast
Dunno who the heck Derra is (I know what you're talking about but want to make it clear you're insane)
Also: I was so shocked to come here and realize most people think Hornet calls her βEiraβ because thatβs what Hornet calls to bring her to the station.
I CAN SO CLEARLY HEAR A D SOUND AT THE START
heβs talking about eira
i called her belly whenever i streamed to my friends lmao
I called her bella for most of my playthrough
Idk what quests I'm missing to go to Act 3
Itβs crazy no one else hears it I can so hear the d
That's why I said I knew what they were talking about goofy
The only times I died in HK Steel Soul were when I got careless
What are the mandatory stuff to go to Act 3?
This game's Steel Soul is kicking my ass!
I did nearly everything
And I'm abusing saving and quitting like crazy here. I never did that in HK
move fleas to fleatopia
17 wishes including crawbug clearing, shakra's wish, sherma's wish, among a few others
get your bellhome
Criiiiinge
I just didnβt have the patience for HK steel soul. Like 6 failed runs and I went βthese go too slow and get too boring to keep redoingβ and I didnβt go further
I did all of that
Idk if I have more than those missing
this game took me 20 hour to 100% in for the speedrun mode I am not putting that much time on the line
In my 28 SS attempted runs of Steel Soul so far, I have never done that because I think itβs dishonorable
Save & Quitters need to go, either do the challenge right or understand that you don't deserve the achievement
team cherry please make the first dlc a godhome for silksong i need to replay these awesome fights
cringe it may be but I don't have the patience to go through moss grotto again
sinos de prata my favorite quest
Are any of these mandatory? @vestal jewel
one of the pantheons bosses could be the pinstress that gives you the floaty cloak
the meat one gives an insanely good tool
crawbug one yes
Which one is the crawbug one?
I fucking hate moss grotto dude
I think u gotta finish all of them at least for me the one in the bottom right I had it and I couldnt get silk and soul before I finished it so I just think u gotta do all the quest
Corbiscos
It do be a challenge for a reason
wait thats mandatory?
Like if they want to save quit to make sure they donβt die, thatβs their right. They bought the game theyβre not cheating anyone but themselves if they want to do it they can. I just personally disagree with it.
you should do the organ one for a good tool as well
you also need to do all the donation quests
mhm
I did all of them
it's like twice as long as King's Pass and you spend way too long of it just waiting for Hornet to get up
not all
I just hate that people gonna be walking around lying to themselves and everyone else saying that they did something hard
IT TAKES AT MOST 10 MINUTES
okay I'm cherrypicking but icon of hope is still one out of 17
I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES TO START THE GAME ON EACH ATTEMPT
I will after I get to Act 3
Weaver Crest idea V4, which is inspired by the weaver bosses, and hornets naked move set. (I'm sad its only temporary and not a viable option.) The idea for this crest is to be physically weaker than others use silk in combat to stun enemies while also allowing for greater regeneration and spell spam. I feel this is a niche/playstyle not covered in any existing crest.
Also concept for the crest design by Entwined Spectre which redesigned the 2019 weaver crest.
Weaver Crest
"Ensnare foes within your grasp tethering them with silk"
(Obtained from A weaver or remnants of GMS Cocoon in The Cradle in act 3.)
Gameplay changes: Silk generation is doubled for when you land a hit, but every attack drains 1/3 a silk (inverse reaper, when out of silk you use the naked/crestless move-set) All attacks deal 25% less damage reduction. And maybe Bind now only heals 2 masks.
Main Attack: Hornets attacks are similar to her naked/crestless attacks, but instead uses her arms instead of legs to use martial arts which incorporates silk to reinforce these attacks. (Like the beast crest but using physical jabs instead of claws) Briefly stunning normal enemies and causing bosses 50% extra stagger damage. (tangling them with silk) (its attack speed is on par with base beast crest)
Run Slash: Hornet will swipe thread around her 3 times in a circular trajectory. (basically witch and wander crest running swipes but very short range and covers behind her.)
Up Attack: Hornet will swipe upwards with silk, with 2 variants like the witch crest, reaper and beast crests. It functions inversely to the beast crest, instead hornet moves her hand upward from in front of her face to above her head. This grabs flying enemies allowing her to alter their trajectory to make them move above her.
Down Attack: The down attack would be the same as Hornets naked/crestless down attack. But she will coat her legs with silk allowing her to bounce off spikes. (uses no silk but landing attacks only generates 1 silk, so platforming doesn't become an issue.)
Charge Attack: Hornet will use silk to create a web in front of her with both hands. This attack functions like a web and grab attack which stuns multiple enemies for 4 times longer than normal. (on bosses does extra stun damage) (equivalent to 3 normal hits)
Tool Slots: Silk Slots: 2 Red Tool: 1 [Max 1] Blue Tool: 0 [Max 2] Yellow Tool: 1 [Max 1]
SHAW? ADDINOS!!!
Don't die, be patient, meticulously plan, practice on new saves, there are other ways
HEGALE
as someone who had 10+ steel soul deaths i promise moss grotto is not the worst part abt restarting lol
in fact i'd say that moss grotto walk is needed to clear your head and try again
put together a spreadsheet of my quitless steel heart attempts
It takes a lot more than a moss grotto walk to clear your head if you die any meaningful length in
i shouldve did thattttt
Worst part about restarting is being dashless fr
YES you get it
Im taxing you 850 rosarys
OH YEAH THAT
the start of the game is just, so fucking slow
guys HEAR ME OUT: a dlc where we play as hornet when she absorbs the grand mother silk. we would have to rebuild pharloom and protect it from the threat such as the void or any other god being entity. since hornet would be overpowered we could do things like hornet vs umuu or hornet vs radiance
dying to moss mother is tough
the fucking walk of shame through mosshome
ur phantom run ended at bilewater
||https://youtu.be/OXYZQoGjPkw|| finally didnt get the ceiling bug
city builder sequel
Worst way Iβve lost a run so far is one where I did Mount Fay got the faydown cloak, did all this Act 2 stuff, got Clawline was ready. And died to a single Cogwork bug. It was a normal Cogwork bug and it killed me.
now that i 112% hollow knight its time to start
almost 30 minutes π but its finally done
good catch
I USE 1000000 ROSARY TEMPORARY BENCH
Congrats on finishing the tutorial /j
dying to basic enemies is the worst, but let me one-up you
I died to the abyss enemy gauntlet in the act 3 intro sequence.
was it the one just before the upwards vertical section
Honestly real thats what I did before starting up today
wait what cogwork bug?
I died to Lugali 2 runs ago. I was 15 hours in
Itβs weird to me that people find Phantom a hard fight I have never once died to phantom during steel soul and I regularly take her route into Act 2 over Last Judge
Funny enough I didn't even feel too bad about it at the time
kinda weird moorwing doesn't have a rematch, feels like one of those bosses that would, like brooding mawlek
Shhhh now I'll just tax u 1 billion rosarys
Oof
I've never heard anyone say Phantom is a hard fight
maybe if/when we get a colo as dlc
Did you at least go in with 4 masks and a truckload of honor?
The one with a shield and a long weapon thing.
though the route to her is much harder
bet you didnt see my uno reverse card sticking out of my pocket. AND NOW I SHALL USE IT
my phantom death was my PB and I was so busy thinking about surviving the citadel I completely blanked on how to fight her lol
Mists is terrifying on steel soul
i sure did, but i do think its unfair asf that they throw you into that with four masks.
I donβt get that either the mist is tricky but blasted steps is awful
ah i thought u meant bug as of glitch xD
Then even death is respectable my friend 
ah
cause i found a bug on ||cogwork dancers|| and maybe we were talking about the same thing lol
honestly? not really once you've done it once
Sinner's Road is harder than Blasted Steps, and the mist is really hard if you don't know the trick behind it, which can take a while
mist is terrifying in general
out of all the areas in both games, the mist was the one time i backtracked from sheer intimidation
fun fact about the mist: when I finished act 3 I went to kill her and I didnt use my needolin to escape so I was kinda cooked and spent 30 minute trying to find her just for that fight
there's room for you to pogo every wraith to death slowly
If I ever make it to act 3 in a steel soul run Iβm not save quitting to get all my masks back so I can survive the opening void but gauntlet
nah dude those spectres shit myself
We need more players like you in the world
dude im loving silksong so far
granted this was because i was fighting my way through sinner's and bilewater without finding a working bench and just stumbled into the mist
I actually opened Act 3 and decided to be done for the evening, so when I came back and saw I healed, I hurt myself back down to 4 before doing the gauntlet
take time to learn how to pogo them, if ur really struggling with them dont trigger multiple at once
I wouldnβt even be mad if someone save quitted to get their masks back in act 3 opening you would get 2 shot
Sinnerβs Road was hard for me at first but at this point itβs just another area. Shellwood is harder
I do. But if you do get hit it can quickly throw things into chaos.
It's very tense.
That's the challenge
There's no way Shellwood of all areas is harder.
Again: if you want to save quit thatβs your right. But in my eyes itβs dishonorable and Iβm not doing it myself
@empty flume did u get used to fixing sinners road bench?
exiting the game for reasons other than bench warping kind of removes the point of steel soul mode
What if you save quit to save time getting back to your bench rather than to avoid dying?
Oh it's definitely dishonourable
I wish I knew the statistics of people who actually got Steel Heart vs people who cheated. Rn Steam's saying 1.3-1.4% of players but I wanna know how much of that was s&q rescued.
The amount of times the flowerβs pollen has wombo comboed me into the thorns of any of the shooter guys have hit me through the floor and sent me to my grave is many many many, more than Iβd like to admit. Shellwood is much harder than Sinnerβs Road for me at the moment
I think my closest chokes were one close call in whispering vaults, and then breaking fractured mask on unravelled and lost lace
save and quitting to benchwarp while ur safe is the only way u can save and quit in steel soul without cheating
it's a single player game so it dont matter but i'll put out there my personal opinion of steel soul. imo if ur gonna quit out during combat then what's the point of even doing it
I do that. When I'm in perfect sheer safety at full masks I go back to my bench to save time sometimes
like why go for the achievement or play this gamemode if ur not actually gonna experience the challenge of it
Thatβs just understandable and youβre not doing it to cheat anything
it's an optional challenge tied to an optional achievement
Youβd probably make it back just as well if you save quit or not
helloww
Iβll probably wait for dlc before doing steel soul
the longpin throwers can send you through the floor?
DLC will definitely make steel soul easier
No the flower shooter guys
I always said that and then found The Godhome Mod and life smelled sweet for a week or so.
more % to go around so you have more flexibility for steel heart, like in HK
probably some nice items that can help with stuff
no hit DLC when
the ones on the wall?
huh.
the 3 attempts I had 2 died to bell beast and 1 died to regular ass enemy
and ofc a proper way to practice fucking bosses
βThen life smelled sweet for a week or soβ you should be a writer thatβs amazing
Thanks
I save edited my dead steel soul saves into regular saves, loaded those up in a different slot and just reloaded the save on repeat until I had the section down
They hit you through the platform youβre standing on and knock you into the thorns and then the flying flowers get you with their pollen for two masks and break your fractured mask and youβre knocked backwards into more thorns and die
Who said it happened to me
I did. I may not have said it exactly but you all know now
The fight against shakra is lwk so peak
A lot of people in this server hate it
Idk why
I have no opinion on it because Iβve never done it. Iβll be doing it for the first time during steel soul
vegeta?
Does this make me a masochist chat
Its fast pace and u dont die if you lose
afaik shakra won't kill you
I once got womboed by a caranid on my way to Greymoor, I pogoed, hit a ledge with my head that pushed me back down to take contact damage with the bug, then got double damaged by the dang thing and died
Its js a training fight
I learned then to always heal even when only down 2 masks
Ah
And she dont kill you she js knocks u out infront of her
this game should be more clear with what losses aren't considered real deaths
So even if u lose you can ask a rematch in 4sec
other fights that don't kill you include garmond and zaza, first sinner, and then the elegy fights
Idk why 1st Sinner is a death free fight
Weird choice on their end, there's a bench right there
first βis this a dream or a memory and what do you mean I wake up outside no cocoonβ sinner standing over on the side
she puts u outside her arena
Cuz hes a dream fight i think
So does Savage Beastfly
lolno
is svage beastfly really that bad
cross stitch and other silk skill damage scales based on base nail damage and not current nail damage right?
Savage beastfly isn't a dream and dying there doesn't put you outside of the arena
No you misunderstand
current nail damage
The first fight not that bad the second thoπ
wait does First Sinner count for Steel Soul?
deathless fights imply the boss is either not looking to kill you or is just a memory
feel like this is implying something about first sinner
so they're affected by hunters crest and flintslate?
Correct, it's not a dream, but it does put you outside of the chapel
upgrade level of the nail only
Lava that break when he dash + he spawn enemy that snipe you that deal 2 mask
ok sweet, this is what I meant by "base damage"
Plus his 2 mask dmg
no, just upgrades
apparently not
So you think maybe 1st Sinner is actually dead and we're just fighting the memory of her to claim the power?
It seems very real and not memory-like
yeah im pr sure this is the case, since the arena looks different while you're fighting her
sinner's not allowed to die while in her prison
therefore you aren't either
i doubt you'd be fighting a memory given you don't do anything to enter a memory
because you fight her in the prison
Also an interesting take
This doesn't feel correct
this explanation doesn't account for the arena becoming slightly larger and having different features during the fight
I definitely remember doing a runback from deep docks to savage beastfly
almost time for the DLC announcement at the game awards
TRUE
deep docks for beastfly??
December Division can still win
