bilewater is love
radioactive bilewater
Slowest projectiles of all time even a newborn could parry them away
and the start up animation is also slow
bilewater is more radioactive than the hotdog i put into the microwave for 1.5 hours
Yeah, wouldn't nuking it just make Bilewater worse since it got to that point via pollution
I hated Raging Conchfly at first. Then I discovered that not only can you smack the missiles back at him, they deal silly amounts of damage.
My enjoyment greatly increased after that.
A sperm could parry them
They used to give me some trouble when I speedran sinner’s road route but later game they are pretty easy
stilkin do 2 masks and have bigger hitbox
Chalemet! Rah!
U can WHAT
This is true for 90% of projectiles in the game
there wouldn't be a bilewater to speak off after getting nuked 17 times
and shoot 6 darts
Nuke them and they'll deal 4 and be the size of Groal himself
remember to try other crests if you're strugglign with a boss!
the joGOAT
every area has those jumping maggot fish enemies
Lies, there's only 1 crest and it's hunter
Nah I always prefer Wanderer
Remember to mald and spam tools! ❤️🩹
wasn’t bilewater canonically a result of pollution from the citadel
hate those
what was bilewater before being bile
Water
Am I insane for slowly finding appreciation for bilewater
it always takes about one hour for me to go from "this crest is ass" to "pretty good actually"
cleanwater
goodwater
my favourite silksong area
water
it probably looked exactly like that area where you complete shakra’s mission
no i like bilewater too
Nah that’s kinda valid
atmosphere is good everything else is kinda mid or just bad
Still not my ideal area but it’s not bad
Once you get better at the game it’s natural to like harder areas
As long as you have wreath it's not too bad
bilewater is my favourite area
Parry this you filthy casual
it’s objectively a good area I just hate it
I think my fav is deep docks or greymoor
Ive always appreciated bilewater for everything it is including its history i just fucking hate being there
probably because i'm Shrek and i live in a swamp
ew
Music is nice and atmospheric. Also has one of the best bosses in the game (no, not Groal.)
greymoor is peak
Guys i have five cold sores inside my mouth
deep docks' ambience and music is hella underrated
Bilewater ost WILL be played at my wedding
just be warm
not really, it succeeds at one thing and one thing only which is having a terrible atmosphere and making you hate it, but other areas can have great atmopshere and also be really fun to traverse like mount fay
Gratz!
Whiteward is also an insanely unique area concept wise and in its execution
You know what. I think this Silksong game is actually pretty good!
There doesn't seem to be much to do in Whiteward though. Other than saving Sherma
bilewater is good imo but one of the most annoying places without wreath of purity
widow was one of my favorite bosses about an hour ago but now i hate it because i'm salty i lost steel soul to it
bilewater is overall an ok area, its not dogshit but its not really one of the best areas either
My first thought upon getting to Greymoor was "did I just walk into Bloodborne...?"
Greymoor is awesome
bilewater is fine but the stilkin dart shooting bros singlehandedly make me despise the entire area
mount fay whiteward and choral chambers probably my top 3 
didn't find it until after the game
mide game ngl don't buy it
Mount Fay is beautiful
and the mist is the worst area of all time ever
i somehow reached groal before killing gms
Mid game mid price 🤷
i live on mount fay
It is but it’s unfinished unfortunately
What even is the consensus on wisp thicket
I wish Whiteward was longer
I love hospital levels
They literally come out of the ground. Not even out of the water, out of solid rock.
I was not amused
bro is mask maker
yeah and it's kinda rushed
Just needed some more months of devlopment
And Choral Chambers just has a really good theme
Daddy flame ❤️🔥
no that's my roommate
took way too long for me to figure out what to do there
finally someone understands that the dart shooting bastards are the most annoying thing in this game
wisp thicket is cool i enjoyed father of the flames fight even tho it was short
firebending is cool
wisp thicket is like the 3rd worst area
I don't even know where that is
what even is a thicket
above greymoor
My opinion is that the aesthetic is nice but holy crap I hated the enemies
matched only by spit squits
wdym everyone hates the stilkin
even if you try getting near the dart guys they will run away
Wisp thicket is carried off of vibes alone
an area encased in tree canopies
Thank god it's short
It’s just pretty forgettable
Love it when the grass is bigger than the enemie
SILKSONG SUCKS TEAM CHERRY DIE
I don’t know why but I kind of hated it 😭
Yeah, that much is true
Kinda reminds me of Bloodstained's Oriental Lab
favorite non-boss enemy? mine is probably the chalamet guy. he's so round and sounds goofy and has a unique attack
Which, coincidentally, is also an area with great vibes and annoying enemies
i think he lost a ton of rosaries
the enemies in wisp thicket slaughter me immediately
Prolly
Bilewater claims another
i know for a FACT first sinner dropped a silk heart at some point in development
Massive Mossgrub
who would've guessed...
choir pouncers. they are always placed in a spot where they jump off and fall into a pit of spikes
i kinda like pharlids
what are the big stronk enemies that have different death animations called
the cultist dudes in greymoor
My fav is def those little leaf guys in Fairfields
the only joni fan ever
I like the big jellies
Aren't Pharlids from the first game? I could have sworn there was an enemy like that in Deepnest
The polvares enemies
i like grand reeds because committing genocide in the name of rosary farming is something i always end up having to do
good pick
In deep docks?
I’m a fan of Dave
no those were like called deep hunters
no
how would y'all recommend i get to sinner's road in act 1
Lowkey Servitor Boran is awesome
Greymoor
and there were also little weavers
They one's in the Crust King Khann dream
bloatroach
jk its either judges or scrollreaders i fw their aura
nice
there’s only one way to get there and it’s through the top of greymoor
get cling grip and go through greymoor as usual
That's tough
- Grand Reeds are fun to kill
- Massive Mossgrubs exist
- the huge chain guys in Sinner's Road look cool
i guess i can do that
Those tiny legs will break at any moment
couldn't you also go through bilewater
i forgot about the big chain guys
Does big flea count as a boss
get him on a football team
Mini boss i think
its giving green screen running skeleton
yeah but you need to go through sinners road to even get to bilewater
roach keepers?
he’s in act 1
Could go through whispering vaults -> bilewater -> sinners road
vaults shaft (in act 2 but still)
Multi binder is the best blue tool i have found so far
i think that's what they're called
multibinder best tool
What blue tools do you have
once again, act 1
Ooh, the pilgrim type with a bunch of rosary beads is also interesting
Wait, how? I scoured whispering vaults and didn't find anything to break.
Oh my bad
more of an injector band guy personally
Weavelight and sawtooth circlet
YEAH
Personally I’m more of an injector band kinda guy
what's the route i need to take
Sawtooth is a million times better than multibinder lol
And weavelight is op on shaman
Up top in the right most dome i think
far right big room, very top right corner is a false ceiling
I'm in act 2 I can't get shaman
theres 2 blue tool slot so it doesnt matter
Plus sawtooth circlet is mid
pollip pouch and quick sling are MUST HAVES in my shaman crest build
????
28 spammable damage for free
run while you still can
hehe there's 2 chalamet guys, the other one is in bilewater HAHAHA
Any other beast crest users here?
QUICK SLING???
aren't you the guy that dedicated his life to witch + circlet clips
Yeah if u can move away from what your fighting in time
your favorite enemy is in bilewater
no none unfortunately right @keen solstice
bilewater is a cool area
You can literally jump in place and hit them bro 😭
Here i am
BROTHER
agreed but most people despise it
yea sawtooth is top 2 blools
What enemies are u fighting that stands still?
sharpdart is worst silk skill
the only other thing in competition is volt filament
We using the truly best crest ❤️🩹
me when rune rage
I need to start saying blools
yea its cool but a pain to traverse 1st or 2nd time
That's an unguided nuke
have you actually used dart extensively
rune rage has aura
Brother sawtooth is literally instant as soon as you jump 😭
im surprised most people didnt find the "secret" bench
And float 😭
I’m so sad that rune rage is bad because lore wise it’s so cool
no because i dislike it
the breakable wall was very obvious for me
You can literally do that on the ground and spam it
Plus double jump makes it way harder to aim the thing
you could see the cracks on the wall a mile away
what the fuck is this image
The only aim you need is literally just stand next to the enemy 😭
then which spells do you like
i'm extremely intimidated
Blue lock type of shit
can you stop posting this?
And pray it doesn't hit u while your doing acrobatics
Ok :((
Breead
nooo its tuff

cross stitch and thread storm are my two favorites
Brother go try sawtooth instead of talking about it while not having even touched jt
I did and it sucked
Can i do one last time?
can you try sawtooth more
it's reaaaally fucking good like very
Skill issue.
well your opinion is invalid cause you clearly not usinf the confuckle super pogo harpoon sawtooth 1000 damage bind combo
Plus needle dps is WAY MORE important
why does the gif flashbang me at the end
the secret bench in the beastfly chapel is actually such a saviour i wish it wasnt so hard to find
The w h a t
youre doing MORE damage with sawtooth btw
28 damage per sawtooth vs 21 needle dmg and both have almost the same speed
(Flintslate casually upping that damage while having fire damage over time)
Literally just spam jump and attack next to rhe enemy 😭
Between spots where youre not using ur needle it fills in for it its lit just more dmg. U dont have to use it but its not even bad
And pray it doesn't run into you?
Sawtooth doesn't damage you my guy????
D O D G E
you know you can like use flintslate and sawtooth at the same time right
The enemies
Yeah but sawtooth isn't buffed
Well no shit they will also damage you while you're using your needle????
nice i got threadstorm
the argument here boils down to “sawtooth is good actually, use the super big omega combo”
most practical tool ever
i read this as doge and my face crumpled up and i shriveled up like a prune
I'm sorry I don't wanna build my entire run around a single tool
I see
I found a new toy...
like even if youre just next to a guy you can double jump + float while slashing
Plus it's the WORST for parkour
Okay this guy is definitely ragebaiting
hes not i can sense it
excuse me
and it's not very hard and you get good damage out of it
I don’t think there is one
I'm starting to realize we have extremely different playstyles
i like lying
GREAT HEAVENS
Try it for yourself... if you dare.

ok guys im gonna go sleep
good
we've got a whole detective agency now



missing a dog, though...
bye guis
Night floofy mossy
Yeah honestly there r so many other tools id rather use over sawtooth. Having diff playstyles is no big deal idk why its such a nerve striker here
shandow Join My Crew
I found a new toy...
While I don’t use sawtooth myself I understand how good it is
I like using multibinder with weavelight
are we finding a pirate ship in pharloom bay
Who do you think the next hollow knight game will follow if they make more
Saw tooth always ended up killing me while I was attempting to use it
CINEMA
with blue groal
Groal
Is there anything I lose access to upon immediately going into the diving bell in act 3 after killing bell eater?
Shakira fight
Is that it?
No
Didnt know shakira did smt else than singing
what mods should i play around with
Shakra fight is locked to act 2
godhome or randomizer or knight in pharloom
Diving bell sequence doesn’t change anything
Ok
How long did it take you to beat the path of pain
I just killed ||fourth chorus||
theres this one mod that lets you add and delete obstacles and enemies but im too stupid to even begin to comprehend how that works
We're in sk buddy
Survive My Infiltration
With the rock or normally?
Is it weird that I’ve beaten pantheon 5 but never path of pain?
With the rock
You also miss the harmony fight once u enter act 3
I thought that was the only way to kill
on my 1st playthrough i beat chrous without the boulder it took like 7 minutes 🥀
OBVIOUSLY he's talking about the ||mr. mushroom|| ascent
hornet will don armor to fit in when she sets foot in the city of steel
also groal the grey is there
Ah dang
I genuinely didnt even see the boulder i just thought the air currents were for letting me pogo off its head lmaaooooo
path of pain isnt that hard theres a lot of soul totems you dont even need hiveblood
So I found wisp thicket. Got immediately nuked by living fireballs through my magma bell.
I don't think I'm a fan
I haven't even beaten the pantheon of the sage
Yeah I just don’t think I gave it enough tries
what path would be good to get to sinner's road in act 1
the first part is hard imo
Greymoor
There's only one, greymoor
the jumps are hard but you get infinite tries so its fine
Can the boulder be used against the second Savage Beastfly if it wasn't used against Fourth Chorus?
where though
hiveblood can help you sometimes so if youre not confident i recommend it
Up of greymoor
just spam ddark when you get to the kingsmoulds
Yea autocorrect up means north
Why are you dying ☠️ to bosses 👨🏼? You should just be using descending dark 🕶. Descending ⬇️ dark 🕶️ gives you iframes 👀 which stop 🛑 you taking damage 😔. It also does a🅰️🅰️ lot of damage 😢. Stop 🛑 dying ☠️ to video 📻📻👾 game 👾 bosses 👨🏼 and just use descending ⬇️ dark 🌑
dark descent
Shadow Stomp
The boulder feels conflicted about falling on a savage beastly
ascending light >>>>
up from halfway home?
Worse than ksi
Is that the missing Astra Gor (from Karak Gor)
To think that one tweak could change the meta of the first game entirely though
Me seeing the meta tower crumble to dust once the Descending Dark i-frames are removed
guess the character
Fayforn?
Fayforn my beloved
Dhisufiroa
sherma
Ok
White fatalis
Soul master
ok well its white
White Lady
Zoh shia
pale king
yes ur right thats his dead ass corpse
HOORAY
its beast crest
The best crest
Bread
It’s funny to me how people divide themselves into cult like groups based on crests
I don’t care what crest you use as long as you don’t think architect takes skill
Drillchitect takes skill 
does anyone even main beast crest or do they only use it on bosses
Lots of people main it lol
It works everywhere just fine
the true beast learns to platform with it
do you struggle with regular enemies or platforming
Nuh uh
ok
architect does require skill yes 🙌 it is difficult 😣 to dodge the bosses when throwing conch flies🪰, saw blades, and boomerangs 🪃, and you need to sacrifice your healing ❤️🩹 for more tools ⚒️ someitmes
It's easy to pogo once you learn to think of it as a dash
Yeah you gotta stop thinking of it as a downwards attack
S K I L L
Can confirm
Start using it to defy gravity
cherry picking
Cool gif, but however made it should really activate their Windows
i could say the same thing for witches
Guys I preordered Silksong and played it for 2 hours on release day, should I actually play the game?
My least favorite boss might be widow
Her fight is too fast paced for me
Hornet becomes too angry to give a fuck about the laws od physics and gravity and starts ramming her head into a bell
Yes
Now
Widow is dogwater compared to other bosses specifically
I can’t
Groal and lost lace were much easier
Widows fun tho
gg
Personally I think the unpredictable of the bells is a nice touch but first sinner is still definitely better
But what about in 2 weeks🤔
yea
ASAP
anyone know how i can easily disable my mods? can i just take the bepinex folder out of my steamapps?
Huh? Hell bells aren't unpredictable. Silk strands indicates where they will be thrown to
Widow is my favorite earlygame boss by far tbh
(if we don't count last judge as "early game")
With this treasure I summon…
I wish we could get shaman earlier or at least overdose on it
MAHORAGA
shaman us bad because i dont@use silk skils
She's very easy to get used to compared to other fast-paced bosses
I can’t wait for season 3
how do i even get to the top
Top of what actually
climb
Did you unlock the easy lift to the left of Halfway Home
no
climb the towers to the left
Is hollow night and slik song the same thing?
As in?
silksong is the sequel to hollow knight
*silksong
Nuh uh
It canonically is
Nuh uh
i love people who correct typos, not even mispellings they thought were correct but were wrong, literal typos as in misclicking the keyboard
Fr
Bro hasn't done the true ending yet
the fuck you asking for then
it is canonically a sequel
I cant even get past the 1st thing so I deleted both
Yes, yes it is
This thanksgiving... I'm thankful for Phonk
There's some dialogue confirming it before true ending too, like with second sentinel
And when you visit abyss for first time and talk to lace
just pogo hes easy
I kinda liked father of the flame tbh
He's easy unless you can't pogo and dodge
I'm trying to, but those projectiles home in hard.
I did that fight so late in the game though it was super easy, I kinda wish I'd done it sooner so it was harder
What 1st thing even 
literally just double jump to dodge
English or spanish😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
easy as hell
Father of the flame was tough for me the first time but once you learn the rhythm its easy
Da 1st stage i think
of?
I have yet to experience fighting Father of the Flame
Make sure you time your pogos with the fire so you have full control when they target and you dont just pogo into them

How long does recovering my stuff from The Slab take anyway
I want wine 🍷
English or spanish😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
not that long
How far are you into it?
10 minutes
Not too long
"Corny or unfunny" type shit
Hewwo
Round 20-30ish minutes
Got one key only but had to save and quit since I was running out of time
Bread
Bread
Guys
Why are you ragebaited?
My question is why are you attention seeking mate
Ok, then not that long, you need another key and do alot of parkour
Which enemies comes after the brothers of forge in she hunter's journal?
I finally beat trobbio! But is the claw mirror good?
Finally nobody is eating me when i appear
Yeah I want to experience the parkour specifically lol
"alot" literally 1 room
If you can make good use of it surely
I want wine 🍷
cragglite
Wait you are so tuff mb ill back off
Silkslop is an unmitigated catastrophe of design — an exercise in masochism disguised as “challenge.” It’s not skillful, it’s sadistic. Every encounter feels like a deliberate act of cruelty, an insult to anyone who dares to believe that reflexes or intellect might triumph here. Hollow Knight was elegant — measured difficulty, poetic rhythm, and earned mastery. Silkslop, by contrast, is chaos incarnate — an erratic, ego-crushing ballet of nonsense that mocks the very notion of “gitting gud.” It’s not a test of skill; it’s a declaration of war on sanity.
Oh right I haven't killed those teo
how do you get rid of the effect that drains your silk
From which area?
sinners road
The humble exploration:
bind, sit on a bench or sit in clean water for a few seconds
Bind & or bench
those are muckmaggots
Binding can also remove Muckmaggots?
yes?????
ye
I always thought only benches could get me free of those little fucks lmao
hell no, binding gets rid of them
Just bind or die
Binding never worked for me so I just went for the bench
what do I do with materium
Place it at your Bellhome
Iirc it didn’t work with multi but I’m pretty sure that it works now
but the bind removes the muckmaggots INSTEAD of healing you
bought the bench next to shakra but it’s not showing up
ok
There you go zeekz
yes the firsxt bind removes them so you heal 2 masks
I'll try once I get to Bilewater
break top of left wall and do some platforming
I thought it just…didnt work in general with multi but
Huh
no what people were complaining about is the first bind didnt remove the maggots so you didnt heal with multibinder
no multibinder used to just not apply if you had muckmaggots, but they changed it so it now removes muckmaggots on the first bind, then heals 2 masks on the second bind
oooOHHHH
it didn't do the second bind before
After 4 days of not being able to play silksong I finally fixed my playstation and am able to play again
clapclap
4 days what did you do throw it in water?
5 days no silksong i feel my bones getting brittle
I knew I was misremembering but I didn’t remember what part of It
How are you alive i cant live without silksong
I am on 2 weeks clean (without silksong)
NOOOOOOOOOO
I miss skong!!!!!!
100%ed today😭
damn it took me like 100 😭
Idk but I am so glad I'm able to now
it took me 50 what
Now, do steel soul
no
lmao
awwwww
I am not doing steal sole😭
It finally fixed after initializing it and thank god for ps plus which gave me the ability to save my data and not lose all of it
just play an hour and 2 minutes and 41 seconds
Do steel soul for 20$ trust
It ain't so bad trust
Damn took me 189 hours
Not yet atleast
B-b-but completion !!!
God hollow knight made me so rusty on silksong
I keep dashing into ||lost lace|| thinking I have shade dash
silksong steel soul is so fun compared to hk idk man i was expecting to hate it like i did in hk
and youll have the perfect save
it genuinely annoys me when people stream a first playthrough of a game (in this case silksong) and play their own music over it
Holy Sun allergic
Can agree i also have all achievements
Why abs radiance why
twin you had a whole 3 acts to get used to silkosong 💔
Fr I've beat the game on steam and xbox
200hrs here
Ima do a 2nd playthrpugh first and THEN attempt steel soul
Me Returning to hk after playing skong and attempting to flare drifter's cloak 
how did it take yall so long bro what i literally got 100% for my first time in 50 hours
I beaten silksong then started hollow knight
Rn on hollow knight i am on P5 stuck due to abs radiance
I wanted to give lost lace a try in silksong rn and uh
Yea I am so rusty
Just use silk dart
216 actually
genuinely went back to hk and tried absrad and died to the climb phase because i didnt have cloak or ledge grab
true...
You think that's bad? I kept expecting the beast crest pogo and hunters pogo cause i am crustier than crust king khann
Like does crust king khann like thr Pizza crust or smrh
Nah ts so real tho it jus be like that
Nobody is crustier then king khan
I have every memento besides gaurdian and hunters too
I am crustier
krust king khann
Kk.. wait a minute
Dont abbreviete it

Yo 😭
God I suck
kk, i wont, k?
I now know the reason for the bilewater hate
it
You just found out
i dont
steel soul not that hard
Well i like bilewater imo. Putrified id sorse
I skipped it using phantom but came anyway
Did you cheat tho
Bilewater was easy
I need to find shakra
yes
Just save and quit to Bench Yes I know burn me on the stake later
Groal would be a funnier boss fight if Hornet could throw a pin which popped him like a balloon
And the runback isnt even that hard imo
bilewater isnt skipped by using phantom tfym
Poor groal
I attempted to skip it
blasted steps is
wdym coming from bilewater bellway isn't hard??
Theres no reason not to use this to ur advantage its just actually insufferable otherwise
Wanderers crest
theres another bench twin
You came from the BELLWAY?
Well alot of people hate it
why am I learning about this now 😭
its a "hidden" bench with a really obvious breakable wall
Dude I forgot hookshot exists
like really really obvious breakable wall
it's called clawline but why does that name sound lowk fire
Umm akschually is called Clawline
I just used the architects crest
Worse,
My runback was sinners road 💔
cause it's da zelda name
....
oh jah from twilight princess?
Yes it was that bad
You guys do be complaining about boss runbacks meanwhile my ass doing runbacks for broken deliveries
no that's the clawshot
That advice worked thanks. Got to phase 2 and just dumped bunch of lightning stakes on the big burning ball
hookshot is from ocarina
I forgive the Hives runback and Soul sanctum runback now
Holy i pay. My respects sir
god damn it I'm so dumb
well actually its first appearance is link to the past
ARE YOU CRAZY?? Ur insane man huge respects for not giving up 😭
Someone reteach me silksonh
Start a new save
It was 4 in the morning and I had nothing better to do 💔
Just attack enemies and find stuff
Who struggled with PoP 2?
it's a bad tool
what do you mean pop 2
Speedrun
Steel soul
Main
And my lil brother
I have no save files
Path of pain 2
cradle climb ig
surface climb? that's nowhere near pop
Yes
The thing where you Get to Surface Memento
wonder if the filesize is too big but what do y'all think
Path of mild discomfort (PoMD)
Ik, but some ppl genuinely struggled even tho its easier than early game parkour
silk issue
True
Probably because of their crests I suppose
When i lowk see a video posted in SK discussion i go "Is ts witch crest glaze" and yours isnt thank god
though im not one to speak tbh
croissant head
Also, who here found the hunters march platforming with hunters crest hard?
my sense of difficulty is completely broken
Hunter Crest Glaze (Hunter max evo hitless with barbed)
Am I the only one that hated flea juggle
No
I glaze hunter
hunter pogo is easy if you do it point blank
I dont mean point plank
hunter ftw
Welp I finished lost lace's first phase
It genuinely took me more trys then lost lace
I glaze wanderers
I did it before getting dash iirc so it was hard
Wave time
Keyword first pahse
flea juggle is so easy bro what
No bro
Crest?
dodge is pain tho
I did it with dash yet still struggled cause i wasnt used to the Pogo
i used hunter
Ive beaten the main story and still haven't gone to hunters march :3
i wonder how hard gms would be if the hitboxes on the needles were always on
lol should I do cursed hitless next
If ur on controller using the analog stick its hard. Not for me tho as soon as I realized controller would be a fucky wucky for aiming my pogo i jus went back to keyboard
Hunter's March parkour overall was literally really easy for me
Do it
Guys what if someone doesn't know how to fix sinners road bench. Misses Styx bench. Doesn't find Bilewater bellway. Then misses the secret bench so groal runback from halfway home
its ez now ofc, I was used to the pogo but not good at the game
This does happen to a lot of people yeah
I died since it was abit laggy
on my cursed successful run, I only lost 3 hp cause I blundered into a pin and was knocked onto spikes lmao
Does Bilewater really have a lack of benches to the point runbacks are always extended lol
😭
Im on switch 2 and it was mad easy😭
I mean i got 111% in hk..
not much harder ig, just less openings, honestly I lowk expect to dodge them when she staggered
it depends on preferences
Whichever u use to play the game it depends on preference
I already do phase 1 hitless most of the time without trying too hard, at most 1 hit
the run where I blundered 2 times this morning
Guys where the heck do I find the mask shard in mount fay
its left of the rosary bench double jump up the chute
Yes exactly and I fucking hate controller Im a keyboard girly 4ever
It's right there... you just don't know it yet 
oh f I forgot to get the shard I think
epic poshanka moments number 55
there's a silksoarable spot somewhere
i found lumble
why is hornet white
oh my god pachi you cant just ask people why theyre white... /ref
what if they hate alcohol so runback from far fields bellway
but what if they had no money to buy the bench, and they forgot about the seamstress, runback from forge daughter
but what if they didnt explore lower deep docks and immediately went to lace, runback from marrow jail
but what if they thought grindle would rob them if they benched there, runback from marrow bell room
but what if they have a phobia of loud noises, runback from mosshomje entrance
but what if they hate shakra's singing for some reason and didnt realise she moves from that location after beating bell beast, runback from marrow entrance bench
but what if they didnt have money, rnback from bone bottom
does anyone use microsoft
i use microsoft
Nah the first thing you do in Bilewater is speedrun the bellway
i dont have my laptop at the moment
Nah they'd farm money and buy a bench. Also halfway home is free and if they came from far fields bellway then they would also do that for moorwing
I found the last mask shard I think
WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN BONE BOTTOM ISNT THE CLOSEST BENCH TO GROAL WHAAAAAAAT
The max is 10 right... because if so I found them all
what if they're atheist and hate rosaries
Wow good job
why would they bench in a bar they hate alcohol

Aye I won vs lost lace
Ok I think we're just trolling
i'm gambling rn
I'm athiest and when I see rosaries I punch my screen
Now can I beat p5...
That just playing the whole game benchless
yes if you read my post you can pretty clearly tell
can yall use that for me
Virus
Guys where do I dream nail the seth
Nah its a virus I can tell by the
Guys i beaten lost lace again
Now let's try abs radia-
-# dies in the first phase
true, the is quite supsicious
why does almost every bench cost money
bro, im literally just tryna save up for silksong
capitalism
Bro saving up for silksong☠️ go mow your neighbours lawn or something
Pharloom capitalism
with the points
Because rich men Something something camel through a needles eye
i feel like it is easier to beg money for it instead
sinners road is so annoying cant go anywhere without getting gangbanged by 30 enemies
how many times do i have to do this
Do what
Sinners what you say? 😆🥂
magnetide dice
5, iirc
Throw it right when it glows. It glows after every 13 scrambles iirc
my neighbors wouldnt pay shit
top 10 silksong facts to make your day!
- silksong 2025!
yea
what if, bear with me, you kill the enemies before moving on to the next ones so you dont have 32 enemies around me
You have to win about five times or more
I haven't even reach that area yet
I put on a metronome and counted 6 (iirc) ticks before throwing
it does a sound in rising pitch, the 5th time it glows and is a guaranteed win
Oh😂
that makes no sense if you dont specify the bpm, just listen to the sound
Mb
I could prob find the source that says what bpm-
I didn't even notice there were sound cues, I just kept looking at the dices
Who voted silksong for game of the year?
i didnt think it glowed until after you tossed it tho?
I voted expedition 33 but I love silksong almost as much
It always glow at some point which is where you should throw in the same moment
I did
Happy if either win
lol I forcequitted the game it turns out I got the fay shard
Haha
Which is better for savage beastfly plasmium or flintslate
I'm not going to phase 3 with the save anyway cause its a challenge save that cannot, and its already 10h so its not on phase for speedrunner, so I dont think its cheating
Trying to beat the big red cone bug when he is enraged cause I killed the other one - what build should I use cause I keep dying- and is there an easy way to beat him?
Is the Mask Shard in the Slab accessible before I get my belongings back by the way
Wait wtf i beaten abs radiance first try
Did lost lace train me or some shit
Why is lace so fun to PUNCH in the face
hes very insane just lock in and learn to time your jumps to avoid the ads
i cant as im fighting one 5 more join in
How da fack
no
I used Plasmium both times
It's super duper useful for helping you get more silk without dying
I’m engineer- so I’m having a hard time finding openings
you need the key of heretic which drops from the fly arena
bro locked in
I mean architect
no its just stupidly fast lol it beat me pretty bad, you just need to keep going until ur faster
Is Raging Conchfly just one of them but 10x faster or
ima need more rosaries
ehhh conchflys pretty easy
abs radiance is like pulling the lever of a slot machine
one of them + 3-5 small ads + all super fast and covers the whole screen
it's super telegraphed
One Conchfly but it's angry and fires projectiles and summons Conchfly minions
So bro did train for revenge huh lmao
double conchfly is like 50x easier I first tried that on second playthrough
50 times 0 is still zero
apparently they're mates so the small ones could be kids
Bro forgot 0 ÷ 0 = ∅
its more like 1 or 0.5
Ye and he spawns in lil ones and fakes you out and shoots at ya
What crest does anyone use for flea juggle and dodge? Shaman seems the best because of the range of the attacks, and probably shaman again for flea dodge because of the height you can get from pogos
conchfly 1 you can beat as long as you have basic braincells, even if ur slow,
Game theory of the year
Fortunately, unlike the beastflies, the smaller conchflies practiced their syncronized flying and screw off when their routine is done iirc
You can just dodge em, don't worry about killing them
You think the spikes could be good against him?
But you can still bop em for silk
conchfly 2 you actually need to somewhat get good, you cant just be smart, you also need to do your smart action in time
Oh yeah if I don't use the boulder against Fourth Chorus can I still use it against Savage Beastfly 2.0
I used Wanderer but anything without an attack speed penalty will work for Juggle fairly well
I'll be impressed if you can find an opening to throw it lmao, could try tho, I just needle striked and prayed
You can kill Fourth Chorus without the boulder??
TWO TIMES IN A ROW? WTF
Always could lol
dodge is mostly just preference for whatever pogo you want to use
LOST LACE WHAT DID YOU INJECT INTO ME
ya just slap it
Void silk
yeah Fourth Chorus has a health bar, the boulder just does an ungodly amount of damage lol
Update- they are not
I beaten abs radiance 2 times in a row after beating lost lace
She injected something in me wtf
me with lace 2 on the first try win, only to go do it again and get cooked
I just cheesed that fight with conchflys
I used Wanderer's for Juggle, and it doesn't matter much for Dodge
Diddnt hit her once with my needle
Steel Soul 100% will definitely be hell considering there is a Mask Shard locked behind Savage Bitchfly 2
honestly the only tools I can see being safe with conchflies are threefold pins, bonerangs or cogflies, maybe conchcutter but idk if you can get there before conchfly
Void plasmium with flea brew secret ingredient
steel soul not that bad tbh
Despite the praise and combat advantage from wanderer, it's just the range is so short and tools don't work in the games so I just don't use it
I just noticed that when using sylphsong, you can hear Eva humming
I mean I can deal with most bosses and enemies just fine but Savage Beastfly 2 is literally ridiculous
savage beastfly my beloved is perfectly fine with needle 3 ( 2 pale oil)
slap that magma bell on and you're good to go
I did use it and even then he can really piss off with his summons
Sylphsong is honestly such an upgrade from the blessing in the first game
Works super fast and makes sense
lol I first tried it with only needles and thought it was easy but apparently I just really locked in that time
Bell and cogflies
its not so bad the ads die in 2 hits
You gotta get rid of savage beastfly 2 summons as FAST as possible
if you let them live they're annoying but they die FAST
the summons can be annoying if they linger but if you focus them down its pretty easy
You can’t - literally the only reason I’m live die repeating ts
doesnt it do the same thing
Thankfully his summons are dumber than him who bonks his head against floors
Right salubra's voice gets so annoying in og hk
When is it wise to approach Hunter's March? I just grabbed Threadstorm
Yes
Crestless beastfly 2 is actually hard
yes but you dont have a giant fatass floating above you while moaning
or use despawn trick (I didnt)
Good to know.
Me trying to get rid if them as fast as I can meanwhile Savage Beastfly literally about to headkick me again
Yes, but
- Sylphsong works WAY faster so you aren't sitting there for like 5 mins
- Eva's singing is easier on the ears
yeah you have a weird silk inside you instead
I'm not insane!
His fight alone is easy for me but the moment summons are in I have to lock in

I ended up landing in the lava with magma bell just to not take two masks of damage from him 
I am good smh
No hate to Salubra, but...yeah...
eva doesnt sing lol
if you dont mind a cheese you can leave da arena and the ads despawn but beastfly doesnt heal back
so just beat Savage Beastfly 2 
Well, it's more like a vocalization
I did like three days ago 
Cool
Fighting pinstress again, just realized how pretty mount fay is
Guys I finished my steel soul run today
Yeah except Eva isnt annoying
how many deaths tho
Mount Fay is great once you don’t have to rush through it 😭
Does shakra sell a putrified ducts map?
sliding down the slopes in mount fay is the best part of silksong because 2025 reveal
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Though I do find both the refight and the escape sequence in the nearby settlement unsettling
After 4 days of no silksong I'm actually appreciating it so much
nope
I was honestly pretty annoyed with her fight
Until I used Witch
Yeh
oh and last dive as well because release trailer
Two
I'm getting very conflicting information
no she doesnt
you need to find it in the area itself
I loved the mount fay parkour tbh
you find it in a room
you need to let one of the ceiling enemies pull you into a secret room
So it's not required for the shakra quest?
nah
one of my friends just started bilewater 😁😁😁
What boss is this? Wrong answers only
Witch is kinda garb for exploration and dance-type fights
But for bosses that take their sweet time with certain actions and heavier armored enemies, it CLEARS
im ready for them to crashout
LeBron James

BELL BOY
Big ass forehead guy

michael scott
i wish i could gamble more
chat is hk or skong better objective answer
Both are good
Then what am I missing? I've got b*le water, bell hart, far fields, deep docks, greymoor, hunters march, marrow, moss grotto, wormways, blasted steps, mt fay, and shellwood
AGREED but if we have to pick one
skong for the parkour but hk bc it's an absolute classic
Oiiiiii Ahouyyyyy Oiiiii ouyyyyy Oyyyy Oiiiiiii Ahoiiiiyyyyyy
Silksong
Mostly because of the movement
true
Sinners Road not here
Verdania I guess?
FAIR
Forgot that one I've got it
Which heart should i keep as a memento? I was thinking karmelita since it's my favorite boss
Sands of Karak?
but like hk movement is elegant bc its so simple like theres charms to that too
What in tarnation is verdania
Silksong since it's more balanced tool wise
HE DOESNT KNOW
like positioning feels way more intentional in hk
sands of karak
Ohhhhhh i dont have that
You will find out
Putrified Ducts
Lmao no the maps for trails end are jus the ones u get from shakra
I love the first game, but damn, it feels stiff sometimes
And dodging with double jump feels kinda awkward
That's not required for trails end
should i go back to deep docks to get some red weapons
i feel like hk has better and more memorable bossess too
its just Sands of Karak that you're missing
Hollow Knight addicted Silksong players when they don't get a tool that increases their damage output with no downside
I have absolutely no idea where to go for that
nkg, pure vessel
Like, wall jumping in base hk doesn't feel incredibly natural
do you want a hint?
Oh I thought you were just looking for missing locations 🥲
Another update- idfk how I’m supposed to heal here wtah
I'm guessing blasted steps due to the cone heads being there
Yeah, you'll want to go visit the Pinstress again
dont take damage
WOW THANKS
injector band
ANY TIME
Tf? Ain't she all the way in deep docks or far fields?
memory crystal 🤢
thats the Seamstress not the Pinstress
Every time I see someone's clips I always see them with an item I don't have way earlier
Where'd you get that frozen shard thingy?
wait- did you never find the pinstress
Multibinder + Injector Band + Claw Mirror = exploration meta? 👀
Who in tarnation is the pinstress
Nope never found em
Uhhhhhhh hmmm … ion remember but ik I got it today
Did you not find her in Blasted Steps in act one at all 
Nope
have you ever wondered why you dont have access to something akin to Great Slash in Hollow Knight
Whermst? Mount Fay?
She's the seamstress' sister located in blasted steps
There's smth like that in this game?
...yes. You get it from Pinstress.
I unlocked this games version of the great slash in late stage act 2
How much have I missed
Ion think so?
no idea but you must've missed the banner outside her room
i guess idk maybe its js my playstyle or something but i 100% btoh and i feel like for both games there was just like a clear best build/toolset and I just used that the whole time like yea silksong is more balanced i guess but theres still like clear best options so it doesnt really change anything
It thought it was a trap
no that was her banner lol
Oh actually I think it’s in sands of Karak?
Spent a Lil to much time in the mist
Yeah Silksong is definitely more balanced and the Barbed Bracelet is pretty much one of the hundred points to prove it lol
Huh, weird place for a coldshard item
Nah- just looked it up- it’s mount fey
Oh you mean the Memory Crystal? Its in mount fay
I assume the Memory Crystal is in Brightvein?
wdym
no actually, its near a bench lol
Where?? I've been all over that mountain like 4 times already
INCLUDING IN BRIGHTVEIN
Why in the world is percentage literally half made up of tools anyway
Its near the lower left bench in Mount Fay
Ah, thanks
While Hollow Knight gives you a damage increase charm for almost little to no cost, Silksong balances it by making you deal and take more damage
it's actually really well hidden for being... a really bad tool
I like it…
nothing wrong with liking a bad tool
What does it even do anyway
whenever you get hit it places a crystal behind in the spot where you took damage
Well what tool would you suggest instead for this annoying ahh fight
if an enemy touches it, it deals damage equal to your needle(?) and then disappears
One enemy away from finishing the hunter's journal
🥀 Claw Mirror better than that lmao
Correct!
Which one is it?
It’s probs best for swarms of enemies tbh
Flea Brew + Flintslate + Beast crest make brain go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
i mean yea more balanced fs, but what im saying is like it doesnt really effect the gameplay that much most of the tools are still pretty useless tho just like in hollow knight and theres still like clear best options, so the fact that its more/less balanced doesnt really change the customization as much
