hunter is just that busted anyway
i should attwmpt it
the game IS ascended
4x mask damage π
I was able to get like 4 hits when she did her charge combo but yeah I wish my pc would let me record my gameplay it was so satisfying
i think radiant will be more worrying but thats just me tho
i can't stop thinking about how the steel city enslaves weavers and pale beings
They Stole it from widow
it runs silksong just fine but the moment I hit record on obs it decides lag is on the table
did you try to latch onto her?
oh yeah i saw that ping
Obs or Steam?
Never let this player touch nine sols
They enslave pale beings?
what does that mean
Kay im not gonna switch back to hunters
ive already beaten nine sols :D
attack her airborne
Did you know cross stitch gives a few tiny I-frames if it misses?
Okay cool you arent the player
yipe
I don't like witch's crest
yes i am i made the gif π π π π
i didn't respond to it cause i was busy sleeping but yeah the steel guys are fucked up and evil
zi thinks hornet was sent by the steel city because she's a pale being iirc
Nuke
Yeah, I once had Lost Lace phase through me after I accidentally slipped on a c stitch.
Bruh
I tried that a few times but it was super risky and like I said I could get like 4 hits on her during her triple charge combo
Get better
ill definitely be doing a second playthrough of ss where i maximise everything
Like it's good for boss fights but for exploring it sucks
already have
figured i jjst wanted to reiterate for everyone possible because the whole steel city thing really bugs me
bro doesn't know
I also got a hit whenever she used a needle strike because a dash attack was safe
@light swan good, my complaints about Pintress is still very much factual 
Nuke...
That's a pretty looking health bar
Nuke?
what are your complaints
i mean seriously they probably have access to soul, silk, the void and whatever the fuck theyr edoing with that steel shit
Imagine if the only way to access steel city is through steel soul
i say steel like it's a magical material but it is pretty unique
my problem is the fight is too slow even when trying to go fast if it's anything like that we're of the same opinion
Prolly whats gonna happen
Si cabron
I thought the flea festival was gonna be easy π
Coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb
New dlc is fire
Which case I will probably not play it
A vaya pues
@native canyon this is the summarized version btw
I CAN GET THE KEY NOW
Idk bout yall but i NEED this
skong undertale
i wouldn't be surprised if the masters were putting void guys in steel bodies
oh my god
How did you only get yellow verti..
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO#
springlocking void masses
im p good at parrying ngl id be a great nine sols player
i mean the growstone is a thing so its definitely magical
I cant actually speak spanish
@native canyon this is the original complaints
E1131 type image
Can you?
Ts fire
wdym
you should try the prime karmelita mod
I can too it's my native language actually
yeah we have the same general opinion lol there's too many problems with this fight nailmasters better
dont really feel like it
No
:c
This dialogue really makes me wonder what the hell is up with their masters

How do you only have yello on your verticrets
pinstress is a solid low c tier (my lowest tier is d tier) this fight kinda sucks
theres a blue one?
OH GOD THE WITCH MAINS THEY'RE EVERYWHERE
Yes.... I thought it only came with both...
I will never buy scuttlebrace
what
Dam i didnt know there were so many of my kind
for all the complaints, i would put Pintress at A tier
It brings a lot of new thing to the table [ along with 127 hitless attempts ]
127 JESUS
Yes there is a blue one how the hell did you only get the yellow one
i pushed through
theres a coven and im the head of the coven
when i got it people didnt said anything wrong
Fucked up tbh her fight coulda been way better imo
I couldn't do bellbeasts baby hitless
how do i get the blue extra slot?
wow the witch goat is the leader of the witch gang who would've thought
Maybe its just me idk...
Talk to eva again
you get blue after you get yellow
whos eva
Oh fr? I got them both
-# of course, they have a teenty tiny ||self doubt||
Person who gave you vesticrest
Steel and void

Should've upgraded needle
like any good leader
when designing pinstress team cherry really went and said "what if you could fight an average architect crest user"
I think you should upgrade devices
"like masters" yea ok so the masters are just void. thats it. we cannot deal with these guys. its genuinely over
architect users are much worse
im so bad at names please tell me their visual appearence
Too long of a questline
I'm so excited for my next no-hit court of craws might actually be fun
I think it's open to interpretation
BECAUSE WITCH CREST KILLED MY GRANDMA OKAY?
(..My uncle broke his hand playing reaper once)
How did.. witch crest kill your grandma? Which silkskill was she using?
I was the one playing witch crest..
(Insert witch crest gameplay)
I was so lost in trance that I didnt realize..
WITCH CREST USER NO!! (Insert die sfx)
that's gurr the outcast (spams tools and runs away)
Or steel is just same level as void who knows
We gonna need the goat to handle this one againπ―
what the fuck is this π
"one last attempt!" I say while charging my needolin
Inside weavenest atla the person you talk to who is like behind some glass
im gonna use this for the rest of my life
This is genuinely peak, im screenshoting this
oh ok
anyways gimme some good ideas that i can steal π i'm making a Mount Fay Expansion DLC
"why do you use witch crest?"
"BECAUSE WITCH CREST KILLED MY GRANDMA OKAY??"
wait no its the other way around
do?
The entirety of Celeste, I heard its a good game
Re
Witch crest nuked my grandma*
The masters could also just be like "whole"
Whatever that would mean
wouldn't it be so convenient if we someone born of god and void to beat the master. some king of The Hollow Knight
how do i get map of this area (the place with half life enemy and the person asked for meat)
i should nuke during my hitless fights more ngl
it should be "why do you use witch crest"
"BECAUSE X CREST KILLED MY GRANDMA OKAY?!" (insert whatever crest you want into the X)
I think itd be cooler to have masters be genuinely just that, masters of steel
Crawfather was surprisingly... easy. Got him first try.
if only
same for me with silk mom
pale king I remember you're vessels
is Wanderer the theoritical fastest pogo or is it Hunter π€
Honestly beastfly 2 is much easier than 1
everyone needs to compliment my art NOW!!!
plot twist the masters are human steel benders from avatar
wanderer comes out super fast probably that
they should buff grand mother silk
Its like hes in some king of
IM GONNA SCREAM
even huge flea is harder than grand mother silk
Beastfly hate is so unjustified people just encountered him too early, i defeated him after getting my 2nd nail upgrade and hes easier than brooding mawlek
its all fun and games untill the knight starts roaring
Yea
Iam pretty sure they made her weaker bcuz twisted ending but like
... that just takes away the challenge from it
but tbf, Hunter also comes out super fast, its just you're incentivized to move because of the pogo's nature
i changed my mind im always wayy too aggressive to get in a good position to get a bind off
true...
i fought with beastfly as soon as possible i had nothing and beated it
Yea that's the thing
The game just lets you fight it too early
And hunter's march in general like hunter's march dashless sounds annoying
Beastfly just sucks design wise
hunter and wanderer probably my favorite pogos I love being fast and aggressive in this game
it only relaly works if the enemy comes ot me and if i dont need to chase the enemy which means i need to be less aggressive
Took me 80 tries ez
you can just backdash -> clawline -> djump > bind if im not wrong
I quite enjoy savage beastfly tbh
the masters defo have some extent of control ober the boid
No, cursed, cursed is the only one that has an ending tied to it, and forces you to get good, and not be tool/crest reliant, cursed is the best crest, I rest my case 
I just love smacking that bitch
I find it interesting they like ban summoning the void
Im getting off fuck coral tower
how do i get map for this place
that's a given since they have a bunch of crittets of the same species who can summon the void
what tools should i use for a shaman build
One of my favorite artists answered my ask with a drawing π₯Ή
You
Enter from memorium
This is the 3rd time i tried to upload and tenor keeps refusing w5f
im always in the middle of sawtooth pogoing when karmelita does something i can bind against, and i cant easily pivot off
I didnt experience either hunters march or beastfly until act 2 so i really had no trouble. Just got used to the way hk usually had a "this is a bit too advanced for you" area so i assumed it was that then just moved along and came back to it
i also need to make sure im like full on silk before healing which is more micromanagement

Counterpoint, Crestless leads to Hornet getting her own boss theme in the Slab
crackhead theory about steel society: what if they're like, the evolution of some ancient civilization sect
what kind of combo is this π
thingβs surprisingly tanking for a super early game boss
once I'm done with my no-hits I'm learning how to do sawtooth pogos they look so fun
Karmelita floor slam? Pretty sure you have plenty of time to bind there
You have to go through a different entrance
Considering the hk universe this could be entirely possible
how theres nowhere else to go in memorium
i read steel society as soul society
No not crackhead this is einsteincranium
Optimal Fourth Chorus gameplay 
nope, her triple slash and her roomwide dash
What if they make steel?
very interesting since jiji does it too yet jinn calls jiji a frienf
ah yea, roomwide dash definitely the call to bind
A certain quest you get in Songclave will lead you there
It's too hidden just look it up
Once you do it, you'll never look back
Don't, it ruined my perception of the game π
or go there when doing the "lost merchant quest" again like lost suggested
b-but I like being cool and aggressive 
I think Jiji is similar to Sula, and is Jinn's Vassal
Will steel society be game 3?
you will fall into the depth of optimizing gp like i did last weekend when i tested every pogo combo i could find
Does jiji ever do it
steel society dlc with aizen steelsuke as the main villain
Oh wait jiji not jinn
Shlawgg we don't even know if there will be a game 3
yes but jiji summons the void, zi says sula has been tarnished after they summon their champion (shes defo the same species as sula tho no doubt about that)
Confused the two
STOP STOP IT'S ALREADY DEAD π
the big evil shade:
wow underworks doesnt have a stag
have you beat the game with the mushroom guy yet π€
Team cherry emailed me there would be one
That is a good point ngl
watashi no steel society or something
Noway
oh i have plenty more of the clips
Tell me why the hell did cogwork clankers take me 16 tries but lace 2 took me 3
technically more than four π€
lace 2 is basically lace 1 with flair
so i just found out hunters crest might be stronger than what i initially thought
Wanderer's crest is so tuff
you fought cogwork dancers fresh into act 2, youfought lace 2 after enduring trobbio, hhg and potential other bosses inbetween
lowkey I might ask my brother if I can use his spare ps4 controller for hollow knight, I feel like I can't pull off the precision I want to do 100% of the time with a joystick and we all know switch pro controllers have awful d-pads
hmmmm
holy shit how many is that
Yeah thats true, its just embarassing cause like no one ever struggles with cogwork* dancers unlike some other act 1 bosses in the first playthrough
ngl i feel like max awakened hunter might take over wanderers for the default right now for me, and i havent even unlocked my 2nd red slot and 2 yellow slots
only 4, which is why i did this. For better balancing
Wanderer's has the highest DPS and it's very mainable till you get shaman
OH MY GOD I FORGOT TO FIGHT LACE 1
hunter and beast:
You know what else is mainable
I JUST GOT JUMPSCARED
Lace: WHERE THE FUCK IS SHE?!
nah beast and hunter have the highest, and if we include red tool buffs, hunter might have the highest dps
I wonder what #1reapercrestfan will say π€π€π€
she's so sassy I love her
cursed witch
@light swan proud to say this is who leading the coven π₯
LMAO
this is the exclusive dialogue for those who are too lazy to pull up the wiki page
One of the main reasons I will main wanderer is because I love the OG HK pogo
You know me too well i think ill have to take you out back
Why is there a coven
how many members does the witch coven have can I call it a witch mafia
i still think it's funny that the normal speedrun route skips literally every boss aside from moss mother, lace 1, widow and trobbio (obviously you cant skip the cradle bosses)
is it a witch mafia, is illusion secretly tony soprano
oh and phantom
i can count like 6, six that i know of
It does judge now instead of phantom but yeah it's funny
so far i suppose my rankings are just in a limbo between hunter beast wanderer architect at top 4 followed by witch shaman and then we got reaper
I cast a spell on the witch coven that turns y'all into cursed Crests 
I need a real position within the coven
beat seth in 3 tries, 8/10 fight
like architect is the easiest crest in the game to use so it might take 1 just for that, but if we arent gonna take that into consideration, its between hunter beast wanderer
widow and trobbio arent skippable anymore at all
Beast hunter have higher nail dps
Architect also exists
no? same dps as unupgraded hunter and upgraded hunter beats it
Youre forgetting one
it easily has higher dps than un upgraded hunter wym? only a fully upgraded hunter beats it
|| FACTION:
- Witch Coven
- Hunter Guild
- Wanderer Pilgrimage
- Beast Tribe
- Architect Company
- Shaman Tower
- Cursed Children
- Barren Prisoners
it does?
yeah
Cogfly Army 
no mafia 
you dont even get the hunter crest nail damage buff until you upgrade it
reaper mafia?
We have a reaper fan club
pop 67 cogflies with pollip pouch and the boss is cooked
i mean i did mention it @elder falcon
Pollip pouch is useless
Iirc wanderer has 36% higher dps than un upgraded hunter
With the pollip pouch obv
What about people who are part of none 
Hollow Vessels
π
thats...not possible
Slap quicksling instead of shit pouch
Good good
Why do people only care about dps when discussing crests...
I'm part of none, I use all crests 
i use none
once you advance enough, you are quite good at using the crests so dps is the main contender at that point
Beast too?
i play silksong with no crest
Team cherry really needs to stop
call it whatever idrc
ykw fair enough, i gravitate a lot between crests too
Yes
I imagine hunter guild is the biggest
PROUD TO SAY THIS IS WHO LEADING THE COVEN
Wanderer
what matters is who we are not how weβre named
hunter guild is where everyone starts, but most of them end up in wanderer
probably wanderer
unfortunately tbh, i feel like hunter has so much untapped potential that ppl dont utilize
I love how tormented trobbio's theme is just trobbio's name said over and over again
I mean... if your goal is speed the optimal play is to skip all crests and just use hunter so you don't need to go out of your way
wanderer is the comfiest crest if people dont wanna slave away trying to farm shell shards
awesome it's a witch mafia and this is you
huge
the goal is to kill bosses the fastest, not have the fastest run which is a speedrun type thing
iβm the herald
I don't like wander because of the baby range
Reaper is its fuckass cousin
Wanderer with beast claw is decent
H3Y COOL K1D 1S TH1S YOU
Seems arbitrary to me
oh yeah reaper might be 2nd or even the most popular crest due to how much people glaze it
ye i never use it without longclaw
Architect crest gets huge bonus points for an insanely good needle strike can we talk about that
Manager's Schedule:
- 1-2 discussion per sometimes
i need a position ;-;
it has more range than hunter
it is arbitrary but people just like using crests that kill bosses the fastest
If I wasn't able to use beast claw tho then I'm not sure if I'd want to use it as muh
make yourself a position then
No we all know that
I need some tips on how to kill those drill bugs and the one with a sword and flies around in the arena act 3, those sukers always destroy my run
It's the same as hunter
bro yk it was f tier when the game release π
also illusion idk if this is known tech but i figured out that holding direction while doing a dash attack lets you cross stitch any stationary (or just, not backdashing) enemy
is the requirement to lead a crest fan club to glaze the shit out of it or are there more
Its wanderer with silkskills* as its main damage dealer which is a huge turnoff/turnon for people so its either you really like using it or you really dont
Amazing
be good at it
Havent played in a bit, this is where i'm at
just beat nyleth, why is she so easy? second try
i still consider it the weakest crest for me but idk general consensus is that people use it a lot
i wouldn't be really useful to be fair, it disrupt the momentum of your gp
wanderer length is actually the same as hunter believe it or not
oh thatβs cool i get it, lowk feel like using that in places
no its not wym π
like genuinely just use clawline, double jump, float, and pogo and as long as you arent a nimrod its an extremely easy fight
is this official
bouta see Volt Fillament pop up somewhere
I use beast against big bosses that are easy to hit and are tanky, as well as shield enemies, I use architect against enemies that move around constantly, I use hunter in general, because it's the starting crest, I use wanderer for harder fights since it's the easiest and safest for me, especially when fighting modded bosses, I use shaman for coral tower and flea games, and while I don't use witch or reaper practically, I refight bosses with them for fun
no
nicee:D
Naur
who said she was hard
it's really great against last judge and a few other bosses, it's kinda nice to be able to cross stitch on demand in general
noted. so i guess i need to do the same thing inventor did and beat every boss with hunter only
makes sense
No
why is seth harder than her tho
nobody i just really expected more from a memory boss or whatever, karmelita was a lot harder (still only took me 7 tries)
dropping injector band for warding bell not volt unfortunate
like a dash attack cancel? Then its probably useful for less agile boss
same as khans arenas bro
CLAWLINE
Wrong reply
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME IT'S NOT HUNTER ONLY IT'S NO-HIT π
I like beasts damage thing but its pogo throws me off so much, ill admit its my skill issue
than who
yea its just teh width thats like a cone
he took me 3 tries, and yeah he was way harder
I think that's why a guardian was needed
Oh my gosh clawline..
Oh Ok. well i guess i'm just gonna do all that but with hunter
why is khans arena so much harder than khan himself
HUNTER JUST HAPPENS TO BE USED A LOT BECAUSE IT'S THE BEST NO-HIT CREST
active warding bell meta ππ
anyways thats a third heart and i assume i dont have to do khan since i did green prince
yeah obviously
Hold on you got a video
it cancels the lift you get from doing the dash attack but you still get a tiny bit of forwards momentum
after my current run though i'm excited to see what's going to kill this steel soul run
who's the leader of the hunter fan club
reason im not doing khann is because
- im a sands of karak hater
- i SUCK at gauntlets
gimme a sec
yes but coral tower is one of best areas in the game
pretty niche >-> have you tested how much of these are possible/difficult?
kinda like dash-binds to gain more horizontal movement with less vertical movement
Guys how do yall kill those drill bugs in khann's arena? Just needle?
' skips every boss aside from '
none, none that i know of
like its beautiful
Beast crest makes Seth so easy, as well as any boss that blocks a lot, like Karm, and makes face tanking her even more viable with beast
im a sands of karak hater, any area associated with sands of karak is immediate dogshit im sorry
should be possible against almost eve hunting
bro it took me 2 hours to do the gauntlets and by the time i made it to khan i beat him first try
i'm going to take that mantle but if i dont prove it by the end of next week you guys can crucify me
This is a breakable wall?!
Guys I think this shopping mall have been built by weavers (this picture isn't mine)
It makes most bosses easy tbf
Thread storm
insane dude
It's fucking braindead and busted
Specifically the change to piercing
lol yeah sands is comparable to bilewater tbh bilewater is overhated
its easy on everything but not worth when the boss is agile since they can just step out of range
if u die to khan do you have to do all the gauntlets all over again?
theres 1 checkpoint
Haha sometimes
No, just the last
there is skip
Nah just the final arena
i see
u still need to do the last gauntlet tho
khan might be the easiest boss in the entire game
well im still not doing the fight cuz uhh i wanna go do more story progression π
voltwyrm?
lowkey by the time u get up to him he probably is
Garmond and zaza
Me who have SoK as my favourite area 
The run back was hell
it feels weird having beating hearts in my inventory, i feel like a murderer
actually no, he is legit the easiest boss in the game, the mini boss in hunters path is harder than that
@neat forge voltwyrm might be harder actually
can I be second in command I've been using it so much 
sure
like if we talking relative difficulty to when u can firt fight the boss then its porb khan
hmmm
I definitely did not beat it first try, so I'd have to give that to moss mother or lace, in terms of main quest bosses
you...kind of are a murderer tho
how.
I won't change my dn because it's perfect as is also I don't think the character limit would let me
The actual easiest boss is probably skull tyrant or Garmond 1
whaaat? no that wasnt me CHARA did it
Why the hell is a am I gay test popping up when I'm doing a silk song boss tier list
He has a lot of hp and does 2 damage
just how many pilgrims have you murdered, how many sentinels, how many other enemies
no moss mother isnt considered a boss
silksong is gay obv
all silksong players are gay confirmed
undertale reference
unless you are doing speedrun I reccomend to go to this area cuz its beautiful anyways unlike sands
Which boss fight was the most thrilling for yall
For me it was karmelita and first sinner
unc he has the most braindead moveset in the entire game, voltwyrm and moss mother is harder to dodge
I beat garmond 1 in two runs i did
Both times it was a first try nohit like it genuinely shocked me how easy the fight was
All bosses give me anxiety lol
Maybe itβs because Iβm attempting Steel Soul/Heart
I end up drenched in sweat after most boss fights
I think I had most problems with widow or first sinners also lava savage beastfly
prolly the weaver dingus we fight in bellheart bc that was early game
Moss mother does just require you to jump when she flies under, I think you might be misremembering it
@next pier im kinda at school rn so not a very good video but this is the general idea
oh the most died to boss for me was savage beastfly 2
and moorwing cuz these unpredictable patterns I beat him before he got nerfed\
Id like to report that i have all the crests, about to reach act 3, finished most quests and I still dont have thread storm because i forgot to get it
exactly, and khan is still easier
most died for me is probably cursed gms
personalised ad π
In my low gear run I spent like 2 or 3 hours on it...
i fucking love the bell beast call dude, might be my favorite thing in the game, so convenient
That's why I don't touch steel soul
or the single conchfly boss
Bruh
I hate tenor
It refused to let me post the beast gif 5 fucking times
that checks out
like being able to just get out of anywhere is so useful
at the time u face khan u have pretty much everything in the game but a few nail upgrades and some mask shards andstuff
honestly late game was easier than early game for me idk is that thanks to reaper crest or just my brain remembered hk1 skills
wrong reply, 
Thank you this is fire
... relative to other bosses around him he's pretty easy. Definitely not the easiest in the game tho
Early game learning curve is always the most difficult part in games, makes sense
i have all nail upgrades, am missing the final mask shard (from doing that quest where you kill the void masses) and have all spool fragments. am i ready π€
i feel like the second one was more so the hitbox moving ever so slightly forward that activate the parry >->
Can somebody try posting this to tenor
THE PIXELS
Widow was a sudden jump in difficulty so reasonable, and for the lava beast fly I 2nd tried him coz I met it a bit later in the game I was upgraded and had cog flies
Im hk1 veteran so yeah
Imo khan is comparable to like... watcher knights difficulty maybe? Still not easy
tenor hates me it took like a week for my second sentinel gif to be uploaded
yes, i did it with 7 hearts like 4 spool frags and a fractured mask with 2 nail upgrades
yeah true, first one is a better showcase of what i meant (the bright side is if the second situation happens it still works)
Fist sinner is just like her both fights were awesome
i see, ill do it after i get everbloom and the final mask shard
π
still seem pretty niche tho, and definitely not a Witch thing
@light swan is this replicable for Witch?
witch has different tech for doing basically the same thing iirc
probably
lava beastfly gave me problems cuz minions it summons after shot leave fire that gives double damage + they can fly also beastfly itself and I didnt know magma bell exists
mb brovalone 
I can't tell whether first sinner or widow is better... I think I'm feeling widow? Both are among the best bosses in the game
where
the pogo?
it is really niche but i love it since it kinda lets you use cross stitch independently from what the boss is doing
right before last arena
Widow really grew on me its such a cool fight
I definitely enjoyed widow more because of her bell attack, but first sinner is fun too
you see the vision...
Yeah the bells are it for me too
I also had 6 masks at widow so yeah also second conchfly fight was annoying for me groal didnt made much problem cuz had strategy
I'm widow's biggest fan she's such a goated early game boss
First Sinner pulls off some crazy combos though
k got shaman crest too
Very sad cause I was working on 100% since someone made the save checker. And I realized that ||I coulda fought garmond before Act 3 and now that's locked out for me entirely ;-;||
It felt so satisfying landing a perfect pogo on her bell attack with hunters crest on it made me feel like i mastered the sideways pogo
Yeah I am lucky I did not meet that bs before my upgrades, I died to the normal one 7 times π₯
not that im gonna use it lol but good for completion
true, Widow is peak
ehhh, doesn't seem possible
Actually you need to do it before getting the third melody
also i think the tech could be super good against first sinner
I wonder how hard groal would be if I didnt used strategy to stay in the maggot water
Yeahhh I saw that. Way too late. So major rip to that I guess
The max u can get to fight widow is 6 masks I guess coz that's still act 1
The conditions for fighting Garmond and Zaza is so specific I imagine almost nobody did it in a blind playthrough
was testing out a tech from @ornate torrent
yeah I even got put into slab cuz tried to grind rosaries π
first sinner lets me do this :D
this is me
TRUJEEEE
literally me
i take too many breaks i dont get aqnything done
Ngl when i took a break from steel soul i finished it
I tried Witch on FS and it was waayyyyy too difficult for me
k the shamans are doing their weird little shitty singing ritual on me
ow this hurts why am i exploding
Took me 2 weeks to get back to playing silksong cause of high halls
GOD DAMN thats violent
witch is the hardest crest to use but if you get good at it it's so stylish and cool
I fucking love high halls gauntlet
yeah fs
my witch gameplay:
- 99% Clawline
- 1% maybe a bit of Witch
i just made the craziest ass discovery ever
Hornet endures pain
BASED?!
Take an indefinite break from Silksong and you'll never lose to a boss again
why did they force me into hunters crest wtf red memory is shit!!!
if you lock in during a boss fight, you can't actually die. just beat widow's ass with beast crest
RED MEMORY IS SHIT I CANT USE REAPER!!!!!
The sans classic
snitch pick is SO underrated
Honestly conductor melody is my favorite just because of the gauntlet
take an indefinite break from video games, video games are for nerds
No shit it took me 38 hours for my first blind playthrough and atleast 8 of those hours were from high halls
HELL YEA LIKE +5 DAMAGE? WE'RE LOOKING AT A 25% DMG INCREASE
TROBBIO
I also like the lore conductor ballador provides
Conductor melody always reminds me of the We Three Kings Christmas carol
take an indefinite break from all your hobbies and work overtime at your job
TRUE
Pharloom simulator irl
Ballador kinda reminds me Asgore from undertale
architect melody is the best in terms of like, the actual melody
OH MY GOD ITS BABY HORNET
FS was my very first witch crest bossfight, that shit was so fun and so difficult and made the bossfight so memorable for me
Trapped by forces beyond his comprehension

I should watch smth about silksong lore ngl i don't know much about it
I sentence you to Hitless Pintress
basically an awakening when i used witch against fs
genuinely dude the moment where all the singers in the back join in is insane
Use your needolin during the red memory and youll get my favorite needolin lines in the whole game
its just really slow and boring, not much you can do in that fight tbh
dont watch the mossbag video it was kinda not that good
they have similar body type and both have this deep voice and both have or used to have high position in their country
will do
who gave you the authority to sentence me
Practice*
are we fr? I was holding off on it
Is theres something that can show me about the lore
the architect melody room lighting up and all the robots singing was peak cinema
high halls gauntlet is so fun with no upgrades
its so funny seeing hornet basically make biscuits on her cloak even tho shes weaving it
they're advising you, kinda their job
I am the jester of this palace, it's either my head or the king's ego that fall
Its good, but definitely felt a bit rushed research wise
Has there been any discourse with the HK wiki?
zamn
yeah theres a lot of errors in it, to be expected because its his first silksong lore video he's probably gonna drop a better one down the line
hm not bad needolin dialogue
say bye to the head
"ive never lost to Ronaldo in football since ive never went up against him" ahh inquiry
It just means were getting a "fixing all my silksong lore mistakes" video in a few months, lock in silksong nerds
never considered clawlining her during her float but i mean it seems inconsistent to do without the witch pogo iframes
Anyone know how to refill Plasmium once you get the Plasmium Gland from the alchemist?
get it done in 24 attempts so you can say you're better at pinstress than him
insert 127 hitless attempt
It just refills indefinitely
No need to go back to the Alchemist
Without shards?
i did pinstress hitless like third try but i just stood around while she was floating in the air
you have to extract it with plasmium phial its a qte
AND THATS WHY IM THE CLAWITCH OF THIS WICKED COVEN π₯
Yeah pretty sure it doesnβt need shards
took 24 attempts on my part, took risky hitting her in the air methinks
holy shit its hollow knight
like sure you can do it but also she might throw pins at you at that exact moment and fuck you over
yeah its just not worth it (btw for my hitless fights i still use cross stitch so it's a lot less impressive)
i should equip spider strings against pinstress and play the needoiln while shes in the air
about a third of my attemps was solely due to this btw
It's not refilling for me and I want to overdose to get infinit regen
cross stitch my goat...
where

Pinstress pretty much is designed to punish you for doing anything but waiting around on the ground like a nerd itβs such an unfun fight
My favorite small detail in this game is that at a certain needle upgrade it shows it had a honeycomb like texture implying that vespa gave it to her which i think is really cute
big spike that u can hit nad it drops down
herrahs such a good mom bro
As a hollow knight veteran this is what I thought of the bosses
What is qte?
quick time event
... For all it take to be an advisor, i myself deem this as genius as disappointing of a strat it sound
I tried cross stitch against tormented trobbio for like 2 attempts before realizing sharpdart would probably help me more (more damage and the repositioning is actually appreciated)
quick time event, you have to slide the phial into every vein on the gland its super annoying and if you miss a vein the gland pops an dyou have to go back to wormways to rip one out of an eneky
is it possible to get witch crest before fighting cogwork dancers
you need to go to whispering vaults, so no
You need vaults
widow fight is genuinely so peak π₯Ή
Anyways, Shakra A+ tier [ bossfight ]
tormented trobbio no-hit no tools no silk skills is gambling, it's dictated almost entirely by rng so it's literally the only boss I used a silk skill on thus far
It's so much fun
guys hear me out what if i just just pogo pinstress
pain in the ass : lugoli
good plan
why is zango in this list
i'd say its harder than it sound... but you can try
my iframes protect me
I'll give it a shot
He literally can throw his ass at you point blank twice in a row
you're the better pogo in either of us afterall
nvm im not fighting pinstress
can i still get steam achievements if i have save states mod and stuff?
good plan
no i was just finding it comical that the boss who does ass attacks is in the pain in the ass category
he almost fell for it 
im too tired for this shit let me just swap to hunter
i dont dodge opportunities
yessss be converted to hunter...
Well I didn't put him there intentionally but I suppose he's a boss because he does have a large health pool unlike other small bugs
Why did they give pinstress an unpunishable block when sheβs on the ground lol
Hunter is Hornetβs Crest the rest are someone elses identities
Oh no I got it
because they were bored
William I need answers
The guild of yours twist your personality around a mere plaything of us wicked coven's witches.
the only thing i fall for is the transition between whispering vaults and bilewater
Bilewater is peak
and also second sentinel
this guy has a peak design
not lying, twin
Savage beast fly. The second one where you fight it above lava is a bunch of bs
That wasn't fun at all
Like on your knees or on your knees type of falling?
why cryibg emoji
Why he so dam nosey
When Bilewater is supposedly "ass", but I can't stop enjoying the OST:
he looks cool
you get more upgrades tho
idk whatever floats your boat
Zote 
hey btw I noticed something about pinstress when I was doing no-hit attempts (look at the weapons specifically)
Itβs pretty crazy that Zote always wins his battles
zango doesnβt act like a boss, he js walks around and has 2 attacks
hes basically a walking test dummy
dont fuckign compare those two
So he's dead and I think he only gave me rosaries after completing all his games
one is the goat and the other is pinstress you're right
one is goated and the other is pinstress
If you lose to him you need to drink Plasmium
(Theyβre both kind of underwhelming after being built up)
WHAT THE FUCK π
hear me out
Compare Pintress to Groal [ along with the runback + gauntlet ]
god damn red memorys sad, at least i got everbloom
the goat and the goat...
LOLLLLLLLLL
can i still get steam achievements if i have save states mod and stuff?
time to go get the last mask shard and fight khan
She should have better dps! What can I say!
yes
ethel is still my favorite class in the entire game...... and definitely the 2nd strongest dps wise....
ok ty
flash fencer or ethel specifically cause flash fencer has some pretty nutty dps
i'm the naked pilgrim who dies in the shower (i use wanderer)
Ethel, flash fencer is fine
flash fencer is literally the 2nd strongest dps class in the game lolo
The best area in this game is Bilewater and Sinnerβs Road not Sloppy Chambers and Midwork Core
Who's that girl with blue swords tho?
no hero has good dps anyway outside of rex so thatsn ot worth comparing or thinking of
someone should get all the naked pilgrims and do a tierlist
that's fair, heroes are so unbalanced cause there's no point in not using a healer π
City of Tears more like City of Losers
all i see is peak and ugly
Fifi goes brrr
choral chambers is cool π
mid dps anyway
yeah i know
What are you trying to say
rex... my goat...
Yeah but sheβs completely fucking broken lol
Which Crest's dash attack is y'all's favorite
I wonder who the Second Sentinel fan is calling an ugly
Greymoor rains bug poop City of Tears rains actual water so Greymoor is better
swordfighters that dual wield
witch cres's dash attack is my favorite
Take a wild guess 
Getting hate but bilewater is easier than lower deep docks
hunter
ethel from xenoblade chronicles 3
Unpopular opinion: Groal is shit
I dual wield PINS
not dumb SWORDS. Its very differenr
those are scissors btw
second sentinel doesn't use pins
they use like... scissor blades
@silver jewel whats the proposition already π
wth
Ogghh i never noticed
I like Wanderer's dash because you can do an immediate follow up
second sentinel is ryuko from kill la kill
so can other crests
I like Witchβs charge attack
I think i thought this bcuz of the move pinstress uses
Unpopular opinion: I hate fleas
Beast
Lowkey, Second Sentinel should have had a fast floor sweep in conjunction of their charge attack
37 whole minutes holy shit
kind sir, there never was one
I see, I heard Xenoblade chronicles gameplay is complicated. Not sure if I will try it one day because of that
its a specific followup
...
wtf is that dodge timing
basic but hunter
Get digging fries, the witch crest is probably underground
hunter does this better because it doesn't reposition you 
Yeah we HAVE to feed ALL Pilgrims and Fleas to muckmaggots they are worthless
@shell shell i knew the kid wouldn't shut up so
the stupid blue one with the fancy swords
Best dash is probably witch but I like how you can get Hunterβs follow up with wanderer without having to overcommit to it
what did you come to do then
No to me
exactlyyy
no hunter does this better
The plasmium phial isn't refilling even with the plasmium gland 
There's legit a mechanic with wanderer where if you hit a dash attack, you bounce back, and if you attack again you dash at the enemy, dealing two hits
as a wanderer main btww
Can someone tell me how to beat growl
have you fought god of plasmium zylotol
its complicated to 100% master but its completely (a bit too) simple for casuals
other crest can animation cancel dash attack with a clawline
okay we can all agree worst dash attack is shaman right
Actually lets remove every crest in the game. Hornet loses her needle and only finds it in act 3
Does anyone know what the silksong mobile code is for the Chinese port?
Yep
Yep
Remember when Sherma turned out to be jerma in act 10?
"An acquired taste."
- @silver nacelle
The hidden boss?
Unpopular opinion: Reaper Crest is goated
hunter dash attack deals 1.5 at focus and can instantly follow up with a FASTER attack for another 1.5
witch dash attack deals 2 and can instantly follow up with a FASTER clawline for another 1 hit
the needle hits you square in the head and stays there until act 3 where it is snapped in two and one half still remains in her shsell but it cant be pulled out
Speaking of Kill La Kill (I also though about watching this anime since a while)
wanderer wouldnt be able to combo with dash attacks like this
god of plasmium my ahh
the one in lifeblood spire yeah
Just use chain attack and the base game is like 100% free unless you pump up the difficulty. The chain attack is too good (and takes too long to execute lol. I miss xc2βs chain attack)
xc3 hard mode is genuinely the only way for me to play nowadays
Assuming the entirety of Pharloom is underground thatβs true
Is that jerma silksong
This version lets u play the needolin actually so sure we'll go w that
The one that regenerate health if you don't keep hitting him?
No it literally is
the game is way too easy normally lol
xenoblade 1 has the best chain attacks imo but tbh I prefer overdrive as a mechanic
Get digging fries, the witch crest is probably above ground
without it the game is too easy imo
whats the name of that ||npc that doesnt let me enter their house||
Shellwood is at least within the entrance of a cave
i do think xc3 has the most interesting chain attacks but theyre just way too strong
until the final boss π
Yarnaby iirc
ayo why am i cooking (ignore the stupid tiny tv, my grandma gets pissed and starts groaning whenever i use it for games but i need to play silksong)
Why do I love combat games but hate fps games
overdrive is one of the best things in the entire world smh cant compare ts to xc1 chain attacks
take a wild guess π
Also don't ask me why I consider watching it
And yes I said that to make you all more curious about why
Well... 
They play differently and u dont like the playstyle in fps games
Real
Friesβ favorite tool is the Delverβs Drill
I donβt like the insane rng for xc1. You can weight it but I really donβt like spending my ability to get people up to get like 3 attacks in
Do y'all think it's significant that the little floaters in bilewater fall down the same way the clawmaidens do
Thatβs pins/books
I love hitting absurd numbers on hercules blow...
FPS games are slop ass these days and I say this as a person who has 6200 hours in Counter Strike and over 500 hours in Overwatch
Yes, but WHERE did Pin get it from
Btw u don't need to spoiler
The wheel of doom
This channel is spoiler heavy
the enemies? maybe they were inspired by tehm
Governor... Uh, I mean Yarnaby
anyways I'm procrastinating I'm gonna read, see y'all in like 3-4 hours
nuhuh
also iirc they have the same amoutn of legs
The floaters are lifesavers in bilewater π
xc3 chain attacks weigh in so much from strategic teambuilding and on the spot strategy unlike xc2 and xc1 for me, xc2 is much more limited in use since its required for revives and its something you build up the entire game
I always go grind the floaters when I am low on health in bilewater
I like how xc2βs is like finishing a combo. Also it doesnβt take like 3 actual minutes to execute lol
oh wait yea, i wanted to see if you could guess where this is from yesterday but you poofed 
yea xc3s have a lot of flaws but overall i feel like their gameplay aspect exceeds the others by a lot
but xc3 chain attack theme is a banger
Got it
i have no idea unfortunately :( this shits impossible
Iβd like it more if it didnβt cancel all the fantastic boss music lol
unravelled room
It honestly sucks a little bit that the game doesn't change at all after getting the true ending in act 3. I wish the void tendrils got removed
it kinda looks like the slab? or the cradle
understandable
This and the Slab one deemed me the most ragebaiting pharguesser yesterday lol
Is this the elevator in vaults to the underworks
What are the advantages/disadvantages between witch and beast crest?
how many memory lockets do you need to fully unlock the witch's crest
underworldπππ it is infact that bad
I mean it makes sense. There's not supposed to be a post-game so there's only up to the true ending that you can play
Jerma
3 I think?
I haven't played the game for months and I forgot everything
purple trobbio gonna make me pop a nerve
It is actually pretty nice when you get used to it.
Beast: Super active and non-bullshit gameplay
Witch: slower/more skill demanding gameplay
oh good, thanks
Also, why the hell is shaman being abused so much? Goddamn.
more methodical, not really slower
wdym months
I feel like the game came out two weeks ago wtf
Beast fury is very op tho
Sorry, Herald
I would love to use normal word since it is now 2am
Fair enough, but it just makes me feel like all of this was for nothing, same goes for the radiance fight
Bless you dyno
Is there a way to get ttrobbio out from the floor sooner anyoneβs found or nah. I find my experience with him varies wildly in quality depending on whether he spends like 70% of the fight off screen or 40%
AM I COOKED,CHAT?
I just got on discord only to be met with someone slandering shaman crest. Wth?
Beast outperform Witch yes
But i sure hope you're looking for more than just DPS when you're looking for a crest to main
one of the easiest fights in the game lmao
Not really.
nice bait π 7/10, almost believed
So witch crest is better for more professional no hit/speedrun stuff and beast crest is better for generally playing? I see. Im planning on doing some playthroughs just using primarily a single crest so I wanna learn more about them individually
it's not that hard but i don't think it gives silk
Sherma crest when?
theyre both super difficult, witch just has a higher skill floor and ceiling
It depends on your taste
Sherma is a pilgrim. Wanderer's crest is the pilgrim crest.
You mean Sherma can defeat first sinner?
Fa ri do la si ma net
First Sinner would probably adopt him instead.
survive my gauntlet
No one can guess where I live
Pharloom?
not this run old buddy, i need to try the other crests
I don't think im gonna do a witch crest playthrough seeing as you have to be quite a bit farther in the game to use it compared to beast
wanderer NOW
Dox speedrun
i should try swift race with my new wavedashing fixation
Bermuda triangle
Milky Way
im using beast for act 1 witch for 2 and shaman for 3
I think my second favorite build has to be drilltect despite never actually using architect at all.
It's just such a fun concept.

it is currently 1:57 lol
you crazy,gng
How? There ain't shit there
Please, stop.
i decided i dont like you please stay away from me
I wanted it to be bigger, but being small made it feel like a secret i guess
Lol
thank you dyno π

the vibes are nice and it feels really disconnected from the rest of the game in a cool way
Why does falling down here get you to the side of whatever this is
The sticker is literally called grub sussy btw
Its so annoying
Also, turns out dice never works on the first hit.
It's the walls of the slab
Congrats youβve narrowed down their location to a nation of tens of millions of people
i dont like you either
You mean why doesn't?
Is there like a map of grubs but for the fleas?
yea
my goat sells them
Do you want to know where it is?
yeh typed wrong
Honestly I think I prefer it that way since it helps leave the ending more open to interpretation but I can see where you're coming from when you put it like that
Yes you have to save a woman in purified ducts
Yah
Yes. You'll need to find the person selling it in putrified ducts.
NOT THAT AREA
Its in bilewater, high up pretty hidden
put more respect on the goat vog

But like a little down from there there is somewhere it looks like you can go in but this seems to be the only way, and it doesn't work
Wait not bilewater petrified ducts
I just didn't want to spoil her name
btw i accidently friended you while i took a nap with my phone on sorry
Unfortunately, Vog is in that area. She's a flea who sells flea maps after she joins the caravan.
Cause that's not the only way
@gloomy fjord can you ban this guy i really dont like his build
Shit that's not even a way
Oh another person is called mods again lmao
Ohhh its that
Not bad
shaman heal build

I get it, but you should still go to the slab if you fall through those poles
One singular yellow slot on wanderer π₯ π₯ π₯
ts worse THAN BILEWATER
You forgot the main point of shaman tho
They don't know wtf healing is
shut up dork ur a dork dork, ok dork? keep your dorkiness to your dorkself uhhhhh dork dork dork
Oh, this gave me psychic damage.
take the bracelet off
This but cross stitch sounds fun, I like using that spell cause its about timing and speed which fits with wanderers playstyle
It really isn't I have no idea what you're doing in there
That's the point, it sucks. That's the joke.
Spider strings hard carry
Im happy to play the game fully blind (only things that i got spoiled of are some bosses bc I bought the game just on halloween, act 3 requirements and this guy named vog)
add some red tools

lmao
Pale nails is really good on wanderer because you can maintain uptime for a while
yea, it freezes your enemies better which gives you time to heal
Reaper build:
Click click

thats why im an innovator
pretty mean, man
moth
I can't decide which creeped me out more
Deepnest from Hollow knight
Or
Mouldwood from Ori and the will of the wisps
No no no, we hate your build. The shaman crest is perfectly fine.
If anything, it's buildism.
Moth mother
High quality bug carcasses and spider den
Whiteward
open your mind
stop being a vertebrate, and open ur mind to being an invertebrate hermaphrodite
Im aware its better but I just try to up the difficulty when using wanderers personally
Omg a weaver
