[bitter briar]

Welp time to wait for hk zoteboat

[frosty kelp]

yes very elegant of you

[keen narwhal]

why is witch crest called witch crest anyways

[severe cosmos]

"Gms will you stop being a bum and have any real feats?"

• "HELL NAW" (Gms)

[frosty kelp]

cus ur a witch controlling a parasite to move how you want it

[wraith dragon]

Savage skullbeast

[keen narwhal]

hornet is a witch

[frosty kelp]

no she's a hunter

[light swan]

greyroots a witch in a hut

[frosty kelp]

her true identity is hunter crest

[frosty kelp]

hornet is not a witch but she harnessed the memories of greyroot I'm assuming and then learnt the skills of a witch

[rocky jolt]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1087207488274833550/1251706170335432844/attachment.gif

[light swan]

she is a witch when she has the crest on

[frosty kelp]

yeah she's using the memories of a witch

[bitter briar]

Hornet is a bug

[frosty kelp]

she's an architect when she has architect crest cus she has the memories of the architects

same with other crests

what I'm wondering is why she can't use vengeful spirit if she has the memories of the snail shamans

maybe soul manip is too hard and she will become fat like groal and soul master if she tries

[light swan]

shes a shaman she just cant use soul

[wanton rain]

OMG FINALLY

[frosty kelp]

good job

[light swan]

i hate khann hitboxes

[frosty kelp]

eh makes sense imo the hk 1 spells were better than silksong spells(except for cross stitch) because they had a faster cast

[light swan]

i wish heavy blow was in the game

[frosty kelp]

in hk 1 you could basically implement spells mid combo and not lose out on dps

[severe cosmos]

hug her!

[frosty kelp]

? I just dodge

[keen narwhal]

complaining about khaan to any degree

[frosty kelp]

she's dead

[severe cosmos]

hug her, she needs affection in afterlife

[frosty kelp]

honestly for me vengeful spirit was peak

[severe cosmos]

Kahn slander should stop

[sand bronze]

Guys is there any news on dlc yet

[keen narwhal]

one of the easiest bosses

[frosty kelp]

you could just go brrr with nail and vengeful spirit

[light swan]

his hitboxes are still annoyuing

[frosty kelp]

in silksong the only spell that doesn't make you lose dps is sharp dart and spear

and pale nails cus you can move while they attack

[light swan]

why does thread storm lose dps

[keen narwhal]

gotta be the most predictable boss ever you don't even need to jump most the time and he shows where the attacks are going

[frosty kelp]

also spear does too much knockback

[light swan]

not my point

[frosty kelp]

cus it knocks them too far away

the hk spells were spammable without losing dps

[keen narwhal]

the hitboxes being big isn't a real problem when the boss has like 2 attacks

[frosty kelp]

I think he's attempting a hitless aggressive kill to say that the hitboxes are annoying

[light swan]

i never said they were a real problem for a casual player just trying to beat the boss im saying that theyre annoying for me

real problem or not i find them annoying

[frosty kelp]

lost lace hitboxes are also annoying

[light swan]

and my problem isnt that his hitboxes are big at all

[wet portal]

Whos khann?

[frosty kelp]

go to #sk-help for no spoilers

[wet portal]

Ok

[frosty kelp]

khann is very late game

[light swan]

should i just use cross stitch

[clever abyss]

Why Did the devs make a whole act of the game locked behind a tough quest

[fervent viper]

cuz the act is also tough

[severe cosmos]

This is dumb.

[frosty kelp]

guys what if you use throwing rings and pollip pouch to spread lots of poison cus it bounces around

[rocky jolt]

you will do bilewater and you will enjoy it

[light swan]

omg i did

[tidal glade]

It's the rite of initiation

[torn canopy]

Just died at the beginning of act 3 in steel soul. What a nice experience!

[clever abyss]

Sybau

[fervent viper]

i would end it

[leaden delta]

not his name

[severe cosmos]

Stfu dude, you're making dum ass questions and get "angwy Uwu" when someone points out that what you asked about is dumb

[clever abyss]

Shiver me timbers

[raw pawn]

Nah his name is khann hitboxes

[torn canopy]

Luckily I've already beaten it only savescumming like three times for the final boss, but I wanted to do it without quitting.

[leaden delta]

what a dumb fucking boss

[frosty kelp]

guys here me out: wispfire lantern is a waste of silk 😭

[light swan]

i cant even dash attack against this because i go under him and he covers me

[fervent viper]

i save scummed every time i could because i could not bear such deaths even though that literally is steel souls point

[raw pawn]

What's next? Why is Zango so fun to fight?

[severe cosmos]

Grow up duhhde

[leaden delta]

EXACTLY his punch is so fucking bad

[clever abyss]

Fell for the ragebait mate🙏

[leaden delta]

god forbid a bitch do anything

[raw pawn]

I fear the beginning of act 3 might end my steel soul run

[frosty kelp]

why is last judge such a good training dummy

[keen narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/ohio-speed-ohio-speed-ishowspeed-ohio-disgust-gif-9279846234476452687

[light swan]

also i cant dash over him because of his hand raise

[severe cosmos]

Duuhde u really think i'm raging🥹

[severe cosmos]

thanks this is now mine

[clear delta]

Zango had potential but they fumbled everyth8ng

[clever abyss]

Yeah one of your messages distinctly looked like raging

[torn canopy]

I don't think the game was well thought out for this mode. Like wdym I have to fight a gauntlet of enemies that deal 2 masks of damage in a claustrophobic room, with 4 masks, no tools and the hunter crest. Like why lol

[frosty kelp]

nah nah zango is a dps test

[raw pawn]

Why does khann deal 2 masks of contact damage but karmellita deal 1

[clear delta]

He could HAVE BEEN an actual boss

[frosty kelp]

cus khann is fat and karmelita is agile

[keen narwhal]

because karmellita is better

[clear delta]

I lowkey don't think he should even count as one
like HIS DEATH ANIMATION IS JUST THE ONE USED FOR BIG ENEMIES

[severe cosmos]

Do you really think i would rage so quick for a discord random? It says gullible on the ceiling

[fervent viper]

honestly if there were spots where save scumming could be considered ethical to some extent it would mainly be the beginning of act 3 (i save scummed AS SOON as i got there, didnt even try the gauntlet) and the beginning of act 2 (underworks) though its not as bad

[clear delta]

Compare that to the craggler which is comparatively lame but gets a full ass slowdown and boss death animation and doesn't even have a title

[clever abyss]

🙏🥀

[keen narwhal]

zango is the lifeblood boss that has no attacks right?

[fervent viper]

yea

[clear delta]

He has. Two attacks. Two extremely lame attacks

[ruby dune]

i swear it was 1

[pure nebula]

https://youtu.be/sqyVYYectV8?si=2oMmO1R1PPmmZ652

[severe cosmos]

Sybau skibidi rizz mewing aura ohio w speed 💀

[clear delta]

He starts doing a fast crawl at lower hp

[raw pawn]

Wait really? Looks up

[keen narwhal]

you know what else has two lame attacks? almost every enemy in the game

[wise crystal]

how do i spoiler images?

[fervent viper]

no he has an attack where he like crawls around

[ruby dune]

the sequel to why is lace so fun to fight is crazy

[clear delta]

It actually confuses me why they gave zango a title and not the craggler

[raw pawn]

I like fighting crawfather and I don't care what anyone says

[severe cosmos]

see it?

[light swan]

cuz zango deserves a name and cragvler doesnt

[icy crow]

Defeated Father of the Flame in my second try

[severe cosmos]

<@&283547423706447872> dude i don't think you should say this

[torn canopy]

Yeah I mean steel soul was fair and fun in hollow knight because there weren't any bullshit moments like the ones in Silksong. They could've handled steel soul much better imo but well it is what it is I guess.

[silver oak]

are we fr

[raw pawn]

Zango is like if lost kin was a random guy on the street

[clear delta]

Consult the fact that. ZANGO'S DEATH animation is just the one for big enemies.
And the craggler has a proper boss death animation and everything

[severe cosmos]

Sorry necromancer

[rich herald]

zango is like if mawlurk could move

[keen narwhal]

zango should've exploded and lifeblood should've splattered everywhere and gives you 2 hearts

[icy crow]

Anyways, now that I have finished Wisp Thicket, I should head onward to Bilewater already

[clear delta]

Zango not even having a reward other than a journal entry

[raw pawn]

Oh wait you just reminded me that brooding mawlek was my first boss in HK (I hated it)

[severe cosmos]

zango should fuckingly fucking pull out a fucking shotgun and fuckingly fucking shot hornet until she's become fuckingly fucking ashes

[keen narwhal]

path of pain felt more rewarding

[light swan]

ts so hard to do consistently

[frosty kelp]

guys this is so accurate the pale king's christmas presents are just spiky balls and spiky stuff

[raw pawn]

I mean getting lore is good enough for me

[light swan]

tempted to drop warding bind because i think this looks cooler than warding bind

[frosty kelp]

ohhhh you're trying to warding bind

[raw pawn]

And path of pain told us why the pale king failed too

[frosty kelp]

that's why ur saying the hitboxes suck

[light swan]

no thats not a warding bind

[keen narwhal]

zango is also kinda lore but path of pain was entertaining

[frosty kelp]

ofc I didn't hear it but ur attempting it

[severe cosmos]

stop the kahnn slander you newgens

[frosty kelp]

bro was the reason the hollow knight was impure

[raw pawn]

Khann haters when he points at them and spawn a rock on their face

[frosty kelp]

here's my theory. All beings are pure as a newborn but lose purity as they grow what the pale king should have done is just throw newborn hollow knight at the radiance

[light swan]

no im not trying to warding bind there

[clear delta]

With path of pain you can say like beating it is the reward but this does not apply to zango he is the most brainless "boss" in the game

[severe cosmos]

Yeah the slander is over

[frosty kelp]

then why do you ahve warding bell equipped

[light swan]

because im trying to warding bind on his stagger but not that attack

[raw pawn]

I have seen people using warding bell as a second cross stitch lmao

[keen narwhal]

and then people say path of pain has no reward

[frosty kelp]

ah ok

[icy crow]

Should I fight Disgraced Chef Lugoli?

[light swan]

https://youtube.com/shorts/35YqJl88IgM?si=bkCN_VOKfjo2G60b

[frosty kelp]

that works with architect. Illu mentioned it in his offensive warding bell video

[light swan]

warding bell cross stitch montage

[rocky jolt]

500 laces

[raw pawn]

Wait does warding bell protect your tool bind?

[severe cosmos]

Warding was always offensive, how did yall not see it in the first moment?

[opal bobcat]

craggler was a complete waste of my time

[keen narwhal]

the ceiling acid thing?

[opal bobcat]

yeah

[severe cosmos]

no, the kahnn slander (it's useless)

[raw pawn]

Bro has a lot of health for no reasons

[opal bobcat]

why do so many people struggle with beastfly i did him 3rd try

[leaden delta]

his name is klann!!!!!!

[keen narwhal]

1st fight or 2nd fight

[frosty kelp]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tOZoCXxAlKo

[severe cosmos]

Yeah, but we need to end kahn slander

[opal bobcat]

both

[keen narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/michaeljordan-mj-basketball-gif-michael-jordan-no-no-no-no-gif-16220345851539903827

[keen narwhal]

2nd fight was hell

[raw pawn]

Does warding bell also give you iframes after the bind like cross stitch?

[opal bobcat]

the 3rd one almost got me

[keen narwhal]

a little bit

[frosty kelp]

yes it gives the i frames of the normal take damage

[opal bobcat]

i mean 2nd

[keen narwhal]

the only hard part of that fight is the lava spitters

[icy crow]

Dude what

[manic cove]

she not built for it bro she gon end up like them soul sanctumers

[icy crow]

Why in the world can Lugoli do the Muckmaggot against me

[raw pawn]

Use multibinder

[icy crow]

I am

It's just that I lack silk

[keen narwhal]

disgraced chef in sinners road

[light swan]

hit the boss

[glacial idol]

I think it’s odd that you both gain and lose silk from melee but it’s a cool crest idea

[raw pawn]

When was this an emoji 😭

[icy crow]

Cannot when the moment I'm going to they literally get to buttkick me

Maybe I should wait for them to come at me first

https://tenor.com/view/jgmm-cat-meme-ragebait-cat-think-cat-ponder-gif-7034802297606826390

[light swan]

pogo the butt kick

[icy crow]

Yeah that's what I'm thinking

[raw pawn]

You can dash under it btw

[light swan]

you can predict which attack theyll do based on how they float

[raw pawn]

I always stay away from him once he does an attack so I don't accidentally hit the maggot balls

[winged plank]

i got twisted child

[light swan]

ggs !!

[raw pawn]

Now go talk to greyroot

[winged plank]

what

im scared

[light swan]

greyroots dead

[winged plank]

wow the menu screen is

[light swan]

[winged plank]

kinda cool

[keen narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/annoying-orange-annoying-orange-clock-timer-gif-13192983397644770337

[winged plank]

gives a bit of the original hk vibes

[light swan]

lol that last kakri is funny

[tidal glade]

Am getting destroyed by Lost Sinner lmao how can you reliably dodge the rng impossible short window speed needles without ever using Cross stitch

[winged plank]

first sinner easy i beat it first try
just dash through her needles, downslash her when she charge at you and when she comes from above dash and fit another hit in if youre able

[tidal glade]

LOST Sinner

[winged plank]

holy fucking hell i am a moro

[fervent viper]

"ignore pablo" ahh photo

[frosty kelp]

r u ok with that scary tall dude watching you?

[icy crow]

Just defeated Lugoli. That was about my fourth attempt

[tough gorge]

Yeah that’s my roommate Pablo

[frosty kelp]

bru hthat kakri stabbed you and then dipped

[frosty kelp]

but pablo is this guy

[tough gorge]

Hes just fixing my tv

[worthy stream]

Guys I got injector band and I have fractured mask and multi binder equipped , should I take one of those off and replace it with injector or keep those 2?

[frosty kelp]

drop frac mask for injector band multibind

[tough gorge]

They are the same person

[worthy stream]

Ok thx

[frosty kelp]

interesting but pablo is a bug and that tall dude is a unidentified tall object (UBO)

[worthy stream]

Nice thermostat you got der

[tough gorge]

Thanks

[frosty kelp]

wow your roommates are really friendly. Bro must have came down as soon as you needed to fix the thermostat

[tough gorge]

Yep isn’t John great

[tidal glade]

Then there's this atk where she does her dive atk while there's needles still on the screen

Like how tf u dodge those

[frosty kelp]

idk I think just cross stitch that's the only way I can think of

beat lost sinner with everything first then attempt needle only

[eager pelican]

and an character that dosent exist

[icy crow]

Will the enemies in Bilewater just keep respawning or

[keen solstice]

The flies yes

[icy crow]

What about the Stilkin

I just killed one and another one stepped in right away

[mint nymph]

[fallen ravine]

[fallen ravine]

Yes

[mint nymph]

[fallen ravine]

[fallen ravine]

[light swan]

next goal

[light swan]

https://tenor.com/view/average-witch-crest-speed-kill-gif-16326558384304353968

[fallen ravine]

Crestless

[light swan]

[fallen ravine]

The Slab

[mint nymph]

🤯

[icy crow]

I might just explore Bilewater and beat Groal then stop for today

[bleak abyss]

Is it just me or is the first boss so hard

[fallen ravine]

Mosz mother?

[mental arch]

yeah moss mother took me like 10 attempts

[fallen ravine]

Thats what happened to the fly that stole Hornets clothes

[rocky jolt]

i hate her chud son

[bleak abyss]

It took me 17 attempts and I was like 2 more trys then I just quit

[tidal glade]

Pretty normal for first playthrough

[mental arch]

what a bum

[mental arch]

whatever u say thresh

[frosty kelp]

witch has really good combos but it's still kinda bad compared to optimal wanderer gameplay or beast or hunter

[fallen ravine]

I like witch

[frosty kelp]

that beginning was so satisfying

[fallen ravine]

My favourite after hunter

[tidal glade]

Can wanderer do the witch circlet combo too?

[rocky jolt]

why THE KNIGHT is actually LEBRON JAMES

[frosty kelp]

no but it can just stand there and click jump and slash at the same time to do more damage faster

[fallen ravine]

Hes the Goat

[fallen ravine]

What arguement is this 😭🫩

[frosty kelp]

like wtf man my witch tech spam loses to this braindead clicking bs

[neat python]

Can we talk about something other than silksong pls

[rocky jolt]

the knight and its chud son

[fallen ravine]

Nice channel brotatochip

[frosty kelp]

yeah no wanderer is so braindead giving the highest skill ceiling tool makes it lower the skill ceiling and become more braindead

[mental arch]

he is NOT a chud he is my son and I love him

Did I just die to a Slubberlug

[fallen ravine]

Fuck greyroot

And whatever this kid is

[light swan]

i would say something but its not allowed for the server

[frosty kelp]

sadly the other crest don't need to do it at the same level to match the dps 😭😭 why is witch not good enough

[pure nebula]

She left before paying child support 😔

[rocky jolt]

the unravelled or obbobbles

[pure nebula]

[timid kraken]

do yall got any tips for grandmother silk?

[frosty kelp]

She's easy so not really many tips

[main kayak]

Use the flintslate for damage

[lavish spruce]

Speedrunners, could this be used as a faster way to the ability?

[undone gate]

With or without curse

[timid kraken]

im still shaking from beating the high halls gauntlet so mb🥀

[timid kraken]

without

[lavish spruce]

Utilize clawline a lot

[undone gate]

High Halls is hard without upgrades with upgrades it's not too hard and you have 3 ways to nerf it

[leaden mauve]

where do i get pale oil

[light swan]

what could be used?

[undone gate]

Which attacks do you struggle in

[spark current]

why yall think high halls gauntlet is hard
its no that bad 🥀

[lavish spruce]

Should've circled, the spore flower guy on the bottom

[fathom echo]

You mean luring a flower there?

[frosty kelp]

Lost lace is so annoying she's too short to use circlet. Her parry makes you take damage from clawline and her up attack is just annoying

[timid kraken]

i did it without shakra

[rocky jolt]

second sentinel is like a hollow knight

[undone gate]

It's easier than Trobbio

[spark current]

feed the old man

[leaden mauve]

its no that bad 🤖 🤖 🤖

[undone gate]

I also have beaten it without shakra or garmond and zaza

[lavish spruce]

Using the flower as a pogo up yeah

[fathom echo]

Except it has a mind to think etc

[timid kraken]

because im bad at the game

[undone gate]

If you normally kill enemies while exploring it isin't too hard

[spark current]

it literally took me like 4 or 5 tries and i didnt rage once

[leaden mauve]

chat i wish beast crest had one blue slot

[lavish spruce]

Its annoyingly long with tons of flying enemies

[lavish spruce]

Vesticrest

[timid kraken]

oh gg then

[undone gate]

The double maostum waves is hard other than that it's fine

[leaden mauve]

chat where do i get cogflies

[light swan]

some problems, the any% route doesnt get float which may make it more difficult + it doesnt sound very consistent to set up too even if its possible

[undone gate]

In High Halls

[frosty kelp]

Too OP

[spark current]

L + ratio + the music is awesome + the choir enemies are easy

[wraith dragon]

Only the last wave is stupid

[leaden mauve]

wouldnt thread storm just obliterate any enemies in the gauntlet

[timid kraken]

nahhhh

[wraith dragon]

I still cant beat it without spamming tool

[lavish spruce]

Its those no skill cogfly bugs💔🙏

[wraith dragon]

I can beat 9 wave of hh gauntlet but the last wave i have to spam tack and cogfly

[timid kraken]

the one with the two guys with the flying things are the WORST

[leaden mauve]

where do i get flea brew

[undone gate]

I kinda learned it it really isin't that hard now

[leaden mauve]

i wanna use flintslate and flea brew so i can melt bosses with beast crest

[spark current]

theres a room in high halls with a ton of captive robot bees, u can find a crafting table and with a ripoff iron ingot, u can make red bees

[undone gate]

Yes that's in my opinion the worst but luckily it's pretty early

[lavish spruce]

5 fleas, move the fleas, talk to the round(er) flea

[mental arch]

now that is a chud

[pure nebula]

Good News everyone, Microsoft announced they purchased Team Cherry and that the next Hollow Knight will be a Game Pass exclusive

[undone gate]

You kinda just shouldn't be in-between them and attack them after they attack

[spark current]

Where does the flea brew come from?
Whats it made of?

[austere veldt]

Hollow Knight: Eternal Debt

[lavish spruce]

Team cherry wouldn't sell us out like that

[light swan]

piss

[leaden mauve]

the next game protagonist is a woman with a bun and a scar on their face and they have to save like 17 different men in distress and also theres a twist villian and a little buddy that follows you around

[lavish spruce]

Radiance

[leaden mauve]

flea go into juicer

[pure nebula]

Thats just Metroid Prime 4.

[grizzled sierra]

gave them jazillions of dollars

[austere veldt]

what if team cherry used AI for silksongs story

[languid swallow]

Whats that one video "if EA owned hollow knight"

[pure nebula]

2025 has shown me how low humanity can go. I can believe anything at this point. 😔

[languid swallow]

Pay to unlock new skills

[lavish spruce]

Its too consistent

[spark current]

its just hk but gambling. theres also a mod for that

[lavish spruce]

TC is beyond humanity

[grizzled sierra]

breaking news team cherry used ai in silksong absolutely no one believes it

[tidal glade]

Pay $49.99 for Shade Cloak 💀

[spark current]

WHERE????!!!!?? 🗣️

[grizzled sierra]

oh I didn’t reply to the dude

[grizzled turtle]

ai thinks ||lost lace ||is a fanmade boss fight (act 3 final boss spoilers)

[languid swallow]

I swear if someone's spreading controversy about silksong

[grizzled sierra]

this is a spoilers channel

[lavish spruce]

If its Google ai then no wonder

[undone gate]

That's crazy but with the amount of silkposts there are AI could believe anything

[spark current]

guys i think hornet was made using ai....

[austere veldt]

my brother was so pissed because a youtube thumbnail spoiled the ending

[grizzled turtle]

nah haven't found that area but the citadel is pretty cool looking

[pure nebula]

Said this before but its honestly bonkers that there exists folks in this community who unironically are AI bros when the dev and game are absolutely against everything AI stands for.

Hollow Knight - $600 ~ Hollow Knight: Silksong - $1,000

[grizzled sierra]

yeah buy no paying at benches gamepass would be around 600K rosaries

[undone gate]

Hunter would be weaker than other crest without evolving that's why it gets evolved

[languid swallow]

Which boss did you find the hardest not including the bilwaterl guy and Lost Lace

[lavish spruce]

Its get a 3rd evolution

[languid swallow]

Damn auto correct

[tidal glade]

Karmelita?

[frosty kelp]

Bro the fact LL can spawn out of the ground literally makes sorting invalid cus she can spawn in front of you

[fathom echo]

Why is beast crest emblem the most plain looking out of all of them

[grizzled sierra]

the better it is the more plain it is

[old raft]

u can predict where she spawn tho

[undone gate]

I took like 3 times longer to beat LL but she is probably the 2nd hardest boss

[cerulean sable]

I NEED DLC
I NEED DLC
I NEED DLC
I NEED DLC
I NEED DLC

PLEASE

[weary gorge]

Same haha

[light swan]

is this better than the vid yoi saw earlier

[lavish spruce]

WE NEED DLC

[tidal glade]

I took more time to hitless Karmelita than LL

[grizzled sierra]

what dlc zoteboat is releasing in 5 minutes

[austere veldt]

Which would you rather fight? Absrad with 500 primal aspids or Lost Lact with 200 of those damn bilewater aspid guy things

[frosty kelp]

Bro I'm running in some direction and she just appears in front of me and I run straight into her

[weary gorge]

Me thinking about silksong but i cant play rn

[old raft]

dont run

[grizzled sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/hornet-silksong-dance-hornet-dance-hornet-silksong-gif-3654151901745923854

[frosty kelp]

This is so satisfying wtf this is actual peak

[old raft]

walking works better in ll fight

[undone gate]

The fact that she can teleport and deal double contact already makes her way harder than Lace 2

[austere veldt]

thats why I spent 2 weeks straight on Lost Lace

[frosty kelp]

The fact she can teleport makes hitless nearly impossible

[undone gate]

I haven't tried hitless but LL does feel like a more learnable boss

[void moat]

did they delete sk-discussion2???

[weary gorge]

Don't run

[fathom echo]

Just because something is voided doesn’t mean it should do double contact damage

[grizzled sierra]

no it’s now called #hk-discussion

[tidal glade]

And Hitless Emo Trobbio took way longer than Karmelita lmao
Those random balls

[weary gorge]

Not even, the teleport only gets you if youre running when you dont need to

[void moat]

ouuuhhhh.. ok!

[undone gate]

Not only that but the amount of mix ups she has is like way more than any boss

[frosty kelp]

Bro Ur using plasmium

[austere veldt]

Oh get this. Hornet uses the Everbloom to guide the Void AWAY from her, but SHE DOESNT PULL IT OUT WHEN FIGHTING LOST LACE WHEN SHE CLEARLY SAYS SHE WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO SACRAFICE HER LIFE????????

[weary gorge]

I know lol but the gameplay here is still an example of what im saying. I go pretty long period of time without getting hit

[grizzled sierra]

she uses it against all void enemies.

[light swan]

this must be so scary on steel soul i can see how careful youre being lol

[weary gorge]

Its also steel soul

[austere veldt]

wtf do you think lost lace is?

[grizzled sierra]

why do you think Hornet doesn’t lose silk when she gets hit.

[frosty kelp]

Fair but Ur using plasmium and that's kinda cheating

[weary gorge]

Tbh its not too bad only because I liked the fight so much I redid it a bunch of times on my original non steel soul run. Super fun fight

[cursive pagoda]

man Seth is such a good boss

[spark current]

"ermm... she has the eternal flower on hand!!"

[fathom echo]

Using a fully intended game mechanic is NOT CHEATING

[spark current]

seth difficult

[grizzled sierra]

then that would disprove their point

[cursive pagoda]

no shit

[weary gorge]

I mean ive cleared her without it. This wasnt supposed to be an example of my godlike skills, just an example of how the teleporting doesnt matter if you dont run too much

On witch plasmium is basically cheating tho fr its so powerful

[icy crow]

Top three amazing death runbacks

[undone gate]

He didn't feel that hard

[austere veldt]

i know LACE is silk but once whe is taken by the void all of that silk is pushed away until stagger

[austere veldt]

best part of silksong

[tidal glade]

Just die again atp

[fathom echo]

You sk elites who say people can’t save quit in steel soul pmo Fr

[undone gate]

I have probably tried it like around 10 times and it's horrible

[icy crow]

Nah, I'm good

[grizzled sierra]

top three dumbest moments (does he know)

[icy crow]

?

[light swan]

this is faster

[fathom echo]

Does he know?

[grizzled sierra]

the bench

[icy crow]

I'm aware about a secret bench I just couldn't spot it

[weary gorge]

Yeah idk if ill ever legitimately clear steel soul without save quit. And im probably gonna play steel soul again even though i already did

[spark current]

parry + double damage + shield throw (hornet uses some random spiky tool, takes damage, misses every hit)

[austere veldt]

im uninstalling

[grizzled sierra]

that’s the point

[timid kraken]

I BEAT GRANDMOTHR SILK YOOOOO

[icy crow]

Silksong on steroids

[undone gate]

Amazing final boss

[left folio]

When the suns are bleeding, am I falling?

[icy crow]

Calling me dumb wasn't neccessary either way

[grizzled sierra]

you might wanna go to #sk-help

[spark current]

now beat ||black lace||(act 3 boss hints)

[tidal glade]

Just run away from him and look for an opening, use the wide terrain to ur advantage

[glacial kelp]

bilerwaterer

[austere veldt]

bilewater 7: The Spire of Acid

[fathom echo]

Steel soul would be a lot more tolerable if you didn’t have to deal with hornets period cramps every new save

[undone gate]

He has like 1 mask damage for contact and shield and he doesn't have that much hp

[spark current]

i randomly defeated him with flintslate and cross-stich spam

[weary gorge]

Lol its annoying at first but once your runs start to get longer is becomes more bearable

[tidal glade]

https://youtu.be/aBm_ByvR9rw

[glacial kelp]

what is sh silkhong

[grizzled sierra]

yo Hornet watch out

[dense galleon]

Is completing steel soul with bench storage considered cheating?

[grizzled sierra]

wdym bench storage

[weary gorge]

Steel heart 🤘

[spark current]

i just dont like the fact when hornet gets teleported in the bosse's range when they use some kind of '2 damage but actually its 1+1' attack

[weary gorge]

Bench storage?

[austere veldt]

all in favor of skipping groal the "not so"Great?

[fathom echo]

Well they took the perfectly fine kings pass of hk and went “how do we make this take far longer than necessary”

[dense galleon]

Basically when you have a forced respawn point go to a bench and just before the sitting animation ends you save and quit

[glacial kelp]

you still get the achievement so

[frosty kelp]

Patches

[light swan]

https://tenor.com/view/silk-song-sk-skong-silksong-gif-10584794009593226309

[weary gorge]

Oh trust me, ive experienced it close to 10 times. But it gets better eventually luckily lol

[spark current]

literraly just get pollip pouch
Groal becomes a no greater then

[dense galleon]

Youll enter the bench storage state wich is basically the game considers youre still sitting in a bench, and you can heal yourself by entering menu

[grizzled sierra]

yeah that’s cheating

[undone gate]

Seth is just kinda a weird fight I still don't think blocks are that bad

[spark current]

why he using barbed bracelet

[glacial kelp]

gen 8 is lowkey the worst one why is teleport future sight slowbro a thing

[light swan]

i’m using barbed bracelet because it’s a good damage increase and i’m not taking damage so there’s no drawback

[fathom echo]

So hornet just commits narcolepsy and full heals mid battle

[undone gate]

Cause 25% extra damage

[dense galleon]

Without useng silk also

[frosty kelp]

Idk

[austere veldt]

if you noticed it is telling him to bind. So basically he never had to heal a single time during that entire playthrough?

[icy crow]

In the end the runback was worth it

[pure nebula]

I hate that too. I get its a multi-hit attack but its SO jank Hornet is teleported into the combo. Its dumb.

[undone gate]

Pogos work really well against him

[dense galleon]

You can also do some cool stuff like this

[spark current]

i like in hollow knight the boss still sometimes 'showed' it was gonna parry, but in skong, some bosses just parry without warning

[light swan]

yea that’s what i did on my 15th playtheoufh

[grizzled sierra]

yes yes it was.

[icy crow]

All bosses I've seen so far have parry animations

[fathom echo]

Shit like that has NO place in hk

[undone gate]

Both Karmalita and Seth don't parry they block which they do passively when not attacking

[dense galleon]

You can change crests while walking, and if you do it mid animation with a dash attack you enter that weird state and you cant control Hornet

[tidal glade]

Good thing am using Wanderer 😌

[frosty kelp]

Like who?

[icy crow]

https://tenor.com/view/goku-angry-goku-goku-stare-death-stare-kid-buu-gif-7537122150460177467

[dense galleon]

With reaper crest you shoot yourself upwards

[spark current]

karmelita and seth

[light swan]

why is that a good thing

[spark current]

reaper = good
fight me

[dense galleon]

Dont mind the music lol i hadn't noticed

[fathom echo]

Respectfully fuck karmelita for blocking it makes zero sense

[light swan]

those aren’t parries they’re blocks btw

[frosty kelp]

Clearly they block not parry

[weary gorge]

In silksong the parries are usually punish opportunities tho which is nice

[undone gate]

There are like 2 bosses who block

[dense galleon]

Reaper is a good and balanced crest, its just not for everyone ig

[austere veldt]

respectfully. I hope Karmelita puts a bullet in her heart

[frosty kelp]

In advanced combat it's definitely worse but still good

[spark current]

i mean that, like i used my flintslate and flea brew + barbed bracelet combo but they blocked it and my effect ran out and i feel sad

[rocky jolt]

karmellitas blocking is kinda dumb to be real

[glacial kelp]

what boss even parries besides lace and phantom

[fathom echo]

I hope she gets the old heart rip animation back

[undone gate]

She actually stops blocking mostly in phace 3

[dense galleon]

Fr thats what makes her fight so hard you can only hit her sometimes when she wants

[weary gorge]

This is sick

[light swan]

that’s why you attack her when she can’t block

[tidal glade]

It's not that bad, prevents face tanking and ooga booga nail spam, unless u use beast crest

[glacial kelp]

this is why you use beast or shaman smh

[light swan]

is this the avg hunter gif that youre replying to

[undone gate]

Which is during her attacks

[light swan]

https://tenor.com/view/ss-silksong-hollow-knight-hk-beast-gif-7167947808925894620

[weary gorge]

Yeah, good shit

[frosty kelp]

Why can LL parry your spells that's just really stupid imo

[light swan]

yea that’s right

[fathom echo]

Do you just have these for every crest?

[wraith dragon]

Permission to call you silk issue

[dense galleon]

Oh right beast now hits through blocking

[light swan]

there’s a couple for every crest

[icy crow]

Found the secret bench

[undone gate]

Karmalita and Seth are big targets which are easy to hit as opposed to LL

[fathom echo]

Denied

[spark current]

now git gud

[wraith dragon]

:(

[icy crow]

I need two more Memory Lockets to fully expand Architect

[weary gorge]

Agree. I didnt think it was so bad. It does make it oonga boonga resistant which makes it feel like a real solid W when you win

[icy crow]

What if I told you I already am

[glacial kelp]

okay but hornet can parry like everything

[wraith dragon]

Thats different cuz we're playable!!!11!1!

[frosty kelp]

How tf do you stop the lace shoot 3 void bullet attack while she PARRIES so if you hit her you die and if you jump you fight hot by the stupid balls

[austere veldt]

which should I do... 100% silksong before any dlc? Or 500% silksong once dlc comes out?

[weary gorge]

Marchon is OP

[spark current]

LOST LACE IS AN NPC!! HORNET IS THE PLAYER!!! 🗣️ 🔥 🔥

[tidal glade]

Tbh just step away XD

[glacial kelp]

how is hitting her during the 3 void countering it

[weary gorge]

Both

[frosty kelp]

Oh yeah I forgot to tell you I'm against the wall

[austere veldt]

i hope you fight a primal aspid

[glacial kelp]

move away from the wall then zawg

[frosty kelp]

She's standing there in front and if I jump I get hit

[weary gorge]

Its doable but its definetly the hardest part if youre going dor hitless

[rocky jolt]

hornet silkshield

[spark current]

Are the burning bugs connected to the grimm troupe in any way? (without the thing that they worship flame)

[glacial kelp]

i really cannot fathom this being not just a skill issue

[light swan]

bro planning the perfect scenario that totally happens often

[frosty kelp]

It kinda does tho 😭

[rocky jolt]

guys is trobbio related to the grimm troupe he wears red

[glacial kelp]

when the fuck does this ever happen in a way where you cant do anything about it

like the 3 bullets has a huge foreswing

[light swan]

just dodge them in the air

[undone gate]

I never had a situation like that but the attack is pretty tricky

[blissful cliff]

Anyone have feedback to either design?

[glacial kelp]

is this the fractal crest

[spark current]

whats this crest of the root?

[frosty kelp]

Good point I'll try that

[light swan]

not enough negative space it feels very crowded

[glacial kelp]

wait the harmonic series crest like songs like silksong holy…

[blissful cliff]

Weaver/silk material arts crest

[old flicker]

Which do i buy

[cerulean sable]

i am reminded again that we have hypothetically 2 more years of SIlksong

[undone gate]

The design is really good the crest does have really good slots with like 2 silk skills and 1 red tool

[cerulean sable]

and the fact that i dont have the DLC yet makes me sad

March release surely...

[light swan]

mio is releasing in january 20 2026

that can please you before dlc releases

[undone gate]

I guess after the first DLC people will be sad that the 2nd DLC isin't out yet

[cerulean sable]

infinite greed

[light swan]

especially since mio is far better than silksong from my own experience and what i know

it is an acquired taste tho because the game is like a soulslike

[sinful bough]

Question
Is there a checkpoint in the ||coral tower gauntlet||?

[candid kayak]

yes after the third

[blissful cliff]

Ty. But have any feedback? Or do you think j just need to further refine them?

[frosty kelp]

I feel like lace has one of the best movesets to counter hitless attempts except for markoth

[sinful bough]

Oh my god thank all the heavens, I'm getting crushed by the gauntlets

[candid kayak]

there's a giant conch you can drop to open a shortcut that lets you skip the first 3 gauntlets once you've made it that far

then you only have to redo the last gauntlet + boss

[pure nebula]

This game looks REALLY pretty. https://youtu.be/ZDkMU-7egkI?si=Le7rKPjadzCv9Hpb

[atomic crow]

how i beat it was overdosing on plasmium

[sinful bough]

I'll keep that in mind, thanks

[candid kayak]

👍

[light swan]

literally look how good this is

[normal token]

MY LIFE IS CONNECTED BY THE STRING

[light swan]

mio is definitely gonna be better than silksong and i genuinenly cant wait to see just how much better

[tidal glade]

But it's def possible even with pure needle unlike lost sinner 😭

[light swan]

the demo alone has combat thats better than silksong (ignoring witch crest & customization) and thats crazy because theres only 1 movement option you unlock in the demo

[pure nebula]

A lot of indie metrovanias share a similar aesthetic. Its nice seeing something that isnt aping Silksong or Dark Souls in terms of visuals.

[tidal glade]

Are there alr speculations on how much the game's gonna cost upon release?

[cerulean sable]

LIKE THE SONG TO SUSTAIN PHARLOOM ETERNAL

GIVE ME SILK OR GIVE ME DEATH

[frosty kelp]

I'll do hitless lost lace later Imma go play nine sols now

[undone gate]

Markoth is just like let RNG take care of you

[icy crow]

Is the Bilehaven bench only after Groal or did I go the wrong way

[undone gate]

Where are you in nine sols

[frosty kelp]

Guys do I pick standard or story mode

[undone gate]

Standard

[frosty kelp]

I just started

[tidal glade]

Ohh it's not that bad, the preorder tends to be on pricier than the release price right?

[undone gate]

Story is like easy mode you can change much much easier you want it to be

[tidal glade]

Story mode is easier mode, u can adjust difficulty slider

[light swan]

idk but its on sale rn

[frosty kelp]

My guy just fell off a cliff 😭

Is he ok?

[undone gate]

You can make yourself a god in Story Mode

[frosty kelp]

Yeah ok story mode sounds boring

[tidal glade]

Didn't know that lol

[light swan]

prepare yourself to meet the best character

[frosty kelp]

I wanna get beat up like what happened in silksong

[undone gate]

Haveing 10x damage and 100x damage resistance is insane

[frosty kelp]

Ok from the title I'm assuming we play as the fox dude who fell off a cliff?

[light swan]

yes

[undone gate]

Yea just note the game is very parry focused

[frosty kelp]

Omg whit hair boy so cute

[light swan]

thats not the best character

[tidal glade]

Am attempting to defeat the modded final boss and I can't defeat the final phase 😭

[tidal glade]

That's the Sherma of Nine Sols

[light swan]

yea the main character is like sherma

[undone gate]

Also for the bow it deals 100x damage at max modifiers for some reason which is just one shot territory

[frosty kelp]

Oh your can dash from the start

[undone gate]

Yea and it does have Iframes

[tidal glade]

It alr has iframes

[icy crow]

Dude the fight against Groal just started and I fucking died to his spits

[undone gate]

You mean the acid bombs

[icy crow]

Yeah

[wraith frost]

how many floors does the coral tower have cause im on floor 3 and ts is so easy

i saw people complaining about how hard it is so im really confused

[tidal glade]

I can show a gameplay on defeating him if u want (it's not a guide but can be a reference)

[tidal glade]

4 maybe and the 5th is the bossfight

[undone gate]

It has 3 guantlets then a shortcut with 1 gauntlet and a boss and it is not easy

[candid kayak]

it is easy

[undone gate]

Some people are good at guantlets I took like 3 hours to beat coral tower the final guantlet and boss are easy

[candid kayak]

karak gor is the only complication

[undone gate]

I took the same time to beat coral tower as LL

[wraith frost]

mk

[frosty kelp]

You have all movement abilities from the start?

[undone gate]

Kakri suck

[undone gate]

Nope there are extra ones you unlock

[candid kayak]

...the thin flying ones?

[tidal glade]

Nope u get it throughout the playthrough

[leaden delta]

fucking coral tower

[candid kayak]

those guys snap like twigs

[wraith frost]

yall gotta start using red tools and not silk skills

[tidal glade]

Just like any Metroidvania

[leaden delta]

kakri are the scum of the earth

ik theyre doing some shit in missouri

[undone gate]

Way worce than spit squids

[candid kayak]

what the fuck

okay are you guys like sincerely playing a different game or something

[tidal glade]

I forgor, wut do they look like again?

[candid kayak]

kakri are like a 3 hit kill

[leaden delta]

hitless coral tower tooless

[candid kayak]

these flying pencils

[frosty kelp]

There are more? That sounds cool

[frosty kelp]

Revek

[leaden delta]

everyone in coral tower is a member

[undone gate]

Yea which teleport constantly and deal double damage every attack

[tidal glade]

Ohh, those things

[candid kayak]

TELEPORT??!??!?!

NO THEY FUCKING DON'T

[undone gate]

Have you never seen them just zip around

[leaden delta]

youre thinking of alitas

[frosty kelp]

Wait how long has Yi been in this village?

[candid kayak]

alitas are the ones that do a glorified teleport yeah

[undone gate]

I mean they kinda teleport like spit squids

[tidal glade]

I thought y'all were referring to the red grasshoppers that always teleport away from u

[wraith frost]

i only ever use silk skills when ill still be able to heal

[leaden delta]

ok thats not a teleport

[candid kayak]

that's not a teleport

[undone gate]

It's still annoying

[candid kayak]

also the arenas have um
walls

[wraith frost]

or if im pulling an nkg and trying to quick kill

[candid kayak]

if you back them against a wall they have nowhere to go did you ever consider that

[undone gate]

So does High Halls which is way easier

[tidal glade]

2 years maybe? Forgor

[candid kayak]

also again

three hit kill...

[leaden delta]

ok but kakri are still members

fuck coral tower that shit is horrible

[undone gate]

Is it with nail 5 cause I had nail 4

[candid kayak]

not with base damage on nail 4 no

that's a 4 hit kill, which still isn't that much tbf

[sleek inlet]

I have nail two and I’m trying to do the hearts thingy like karmelita

[candid kayak]

but like

just do the idiot "horizontally attacking flying enemy" counter of standing beneath them and attacking upwards

[sleek inlet]

nd shit

[candid kayak]

it's like fighting an underpoke

[frosty kelp]

Ah ok

[candid kayak]

stand below them and hit upwards, knockback keeps them above you and they can't attack downwards

[frosty kelp]

Wait people who have a red hibiscus are beheaded and go live with god???

[vale sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-wait-silksong-seat-silksong-cute-silksong-fleas-gif-15439778005425867114

[candid kayak]

also like uh, consider a needle strike lol

[sleek inlet]

guys where are some like pin oil

[undone gate]

Not possible when they are over spikes which is when they are hard

[candid kayak]

yeah but that's only like once

[frosty kelp]

Oh yeah 2 years. Shuanshuan don't gooo 😭

[candid kayak]

and again, 3-4 hits

potentially less if you have hunter focus or something

[sleek inlet]

please tell me I need help

[leaden delta]

https://youtu.be/_0GAL2NqzNo related

[candid kayak]

sitting in a room connected to vaults (easiest to get)
Great Taste of Pharloom
fleas in act 3

[sleek inlet]

I got the first

[rich herald]

one from a room in whispering vaults
one from completing the food quest
and one from completing flea festival games and getting the high scores in act 3

[sleek inlet]

idk the howto do second one

[candid kayak]

great taste of pharloom is a wish from an NPC in the citadel

[tidal glade]

Very noice, now do it pure needle 🔥

[sleek inlet]

And third seems easy asf

[candid kayak]

in the dining hall

third is not easy, also requires act 3

you have to set high scores on minigames for the third oil

[rich herald]

find the NPC in choral chambers in the long dining hall, there you will have to get 5 different items of food and return it to him

[leaden delta]

no

[undone gate]

Luckily you don't have to beat Seth to get the oil

[sleek inlet]

I’m act three

[candid kayak]

mm ok

this room in the citadel has the second one

also clawline could be used against the kakri

free hit from a good distance

[tidal glade]

Go back to Fleatopia and set the highscore on the flea games

[lavish spruce]

Skip I found for speeding up pollip pouch

[candid kayak]

hot take: i hate trobbio

Mine when converted comes out to ~$11 due to regional pricing

[lavish spruce]

Trobbio is a good boss, tormented trobbio is so trivial I don't get his placement

[candid kayak]

you made him sad

[light swan]

nice

[fading breach]

i hate trobbio specifically because of his boss, hes so annoying and bs but not in the fun last judge way where when I die, it feels fair, in the just bs way

[lavish spruce]

The only unfair part are those janky tornado hitboxes

[tidal glade]

The balls projectile arc feels so random it always ruin my hitless attempts lmao

[candid kayak]

you can hit the balls away from you btw

similarly to large falling bells in certain boss fights

[tidal glade]

Yah ur right but nothing much u can do if it's on top of u

[candid kayak]

mm

[icy crow]

Finally defeated that fucker

[candid kayak]

best to not let that happen, as much as possible
but, easier said than done lol

[icy crow]

Groal went from Great to Dead Meat

[candid kayak]

lmao

[tidal glade]

Defeated him regardless

https://youtu.be/kWbKgISipmY

[candid kayak]

nice

[candid kayak]

hornet turned into a rabbit at the start

[icy crow]

Anyways I'm calling it quits today

[candid kayak]

nicely done

[icy crow]

Putrified Ducts tomorrow

[lavish spruce]

What's up with the little silver bit on widows chest

[icy crow]

That's something impaled in her

[lavish spruce]

The needles go all the way through?!

Holy hell she was fighting like that while in pure agony

[pure nebula]

I'm gonna make a thumbnail like this but with the Knight vs Hornet

[candid kayak]

I much prefer electrified ducks

[wraith frost]

i think it might just be evolved hunters crest is crazy for the coral tower

[icy crow]

Heavy pins which made her not be able to use silk apparently

Binds her silk useless

[icy crow]

First Sinner soon...

[lavish spruce]

Why didn't they just make widow work in the whiteward

Or maybe she did until everyone died

[fathom echo]

Check her hunter journal entry

[candid kayak]

widow is loyal to gms

[lavish spruce]

Oh yeah whiteward is conductor stuff

Unrelated to gms

[candid kayak]

while yes, whiteward does end up gifting minds to gms, that wasn't the intention

[clear delta]

Fun fact for some reason shakra blocks less attacks than garmond and zaza before staggering while fighting alongside hornet

[lavish spruce]

Shakra has better armor

And doesn't swing around her rings like garmond does his weapon

[clear delta]

No she blocks less

[fathom echo]

It’s probably the same alloy as her rings

[clear delta]

Which is weird cuz we know shakra is like Stronger

[clear delta]

It's just her shell

[pure nebula]

The Citadal was created to keep GMS asleep so most of it is unrelated to GMS.

[fathom echo]

I wish they elaborated more on the method she uses to make them

[clear delta]

She's not wearing anything
I think the shop description for like the yellow map markers says "These were modelled after my own shell"

[lavish spruce]

Then her shell is just stronger

[clear delta]

Yeah but the thing is she blocks LESS hits

[lavish spruce]

Yeah cause she's more durable

[clear delta]

Garmond can block more before he staggers
15 vs 20

[karmic trail]

did the liquid laquer run. It's kind of a pain, though half the fails is due to the faydown cloak

There isnt really skips to the place. You kinda jump too high because you have double
With normal jump you just hold the jump key and pray that when you clawline you can hit the other thing you are going after

Damage to liquid laquer when freezing is just dumb though

[clear delta]

Gng the point is she can take less hits than garmond before staggering, which is an oddity

[lavish spruce]

Wait wait I thought you were referring to arena fights mb mb

[fathom echo]

They should have kept the cloak cancel

[lavish spruce]

Idk that's weird then

[clear delta]

Also weirder cuz she has more health than garmond and zaza

[lavish spruce]

I did it in act 3 and it was trivial

[fathom echo]

Except garmond has the indomitable bug spirit

[karmic trail]

silksoar much?

[tidal glade]

Been thinking on trying that, can't u just go to the top with Silk Soar the go down to the mask maker?

[lavish spruce]

Quite a lot, though you gotta know to cancel or else your run is cooked

[fathom echo]

Silksoar takes a hit on the bonk

[karmic trail]

oh yeah cause the damage when hitting the ceiling
How interesting

I think its worth it. opens up some alternative routes (the bit to the far right?)

[clear delta]

I wish the garmond and zaza fight was actually challenging
I get that he's old but we know he and zaza can literally hold their own for the most part
Like they reached the citadel
Shakras fight being a cool challenge Vs garmond and zaza being an absolute joke kinda ticks me off

[lavish spruce]

I only used it to speed through blasted steps and the early section of mount fay

[frosty kelp]

Guys am I cooked for nine sols the first boss is lowk hard 😭

[lavish spruce]

Clawline then fay cloak makes mobility easy up there

[tidal glade]

Told ya u are forced to learn parry XD

[karmic trail]

Act 2 rn trying everything before gms(es).
You can get all 18 spool fragment in act 2? Sounds kinda wrong, though there isnt any in abyss

[tidal glade]

Also is it Ying Zhao?

[fathom echo]

Check under the white ward elevator

[frosty kelp]

The red tiger baizhang or smth

[tidal glade]

Ohh a miniboss

You'll be fine

[gloomy hill]

Not really actually, first boss is one of the hardest because the combat system is so new, admittedly later bosses are even harder but you do get better at using the combat system more effectively so it sort of balances out

[tidal glade]

Whenever there's a red flash just immediately dash, u can't parry those

[fallen flower]

has anyone done sub 5 100%?

[gloomy hill]

The Speedrunners

[gloomy hill]

I wouldn’t say immediately, that’s a death sentence like 1hr into the game

[cursive pagoda]

guys it’s my giant stick insects birthday say happy birthday

[frosty kelp]

I beat it already. Anyway where do I go now I'm kinda stuck

[waxen hemlock]

i still dont know how to see the spotify recap since its not in my face

[fallen flower]

it’s all 5+ hours, i searched everywhere

[gloomy hill]

Check speedrun.com

[mint nymph]

It just randomly popped up for me

[cursive pagoda]

Spotify are we fr

[waxen hemlock]

no way it said age is just a number 💀

[frosty kelp]

Nine sols combat system is really fun tho this is nice. I prefer HK art style but the gameplay in nine sols been really fun

[tidal glade]

hhhhmmm kinda forgor, the game is more linear than Silksong anyway, maybe go to the elevator

[mint nymph]

RIGHT?! I WAS CONFUSED

[cursive pagoda]

nine sols is really fun but I wish it had a more dynamic combat system than mostly parrying

[frosty kelp]

Oh yeah I'm dumb wtf

[gloomy hill]

https://tenor.com/view/game-combat-sekiro-from-software-gif-12490160

[mint nymph]

Im not 24 •᷄ ࡇ•᷅

[tidal glade]

Yah I agree it's satisfying to just parry all day

[cursive pagoda]

prison is just a room as well Spotify

[gloomy hill]

Wait till you can parry but better

[fallen flower]

like i said i checked everywhere, no one got under 5

[gloomy hill]

Huh weird

[fallen flower]

it’s monstah 5:05:38

[tidal glade]

I thought I saw a sub 4 from BlueSR

Maybe I was imagining things lol

[waxen hemlock]

not surprised

[gilded umbra]

Just played Ghost Recon Breaking Point on the ps4 with my dad

[plucky stag]

the fact that my parry button on my controller isn't consistent actually forced me to be deliberate with my parries instead of blindly mashing the button

[fallen flower]

it’s in reach dw, blue just got true ending sub 4, think he’s trying to do 3 too

[fathom echo]

Have you considered changing your keybinds

[plucky stag]

i did but my muscle memory is too ingrained at this point

i just got used to it

[spark current]

crust king khann's theme is so good

[waxen hemlock]

i feel like the runbacks are only bad in this game because every flying enemy is a primal aspid on steroids

[dawn needle]

Watching a randomizer video
Moss Mother got replaced with...
A mossgrub.

just a little guy

[spark current]

i like that dream bosses dont end ur steel soul run

[gloomy hill]

Hornet arrived too early

[spark current]

she gave birth and died

[dawn needle]

🤣

their first run (that got ended because the first gauntlet started with groal)
She was replaced with herself

It was steel soul randomizer

[clear delta]

What if we went into slop mode and put silksong enemies into pokemon evolution lines

[clear delta]

Is this rusty's

[waxen hemlock]

i swear these guys appear out of nowhere and steal ur silk and make it into a blade that deals 2 masks

[clear delta]

Look for a room in high halls btw

[plucky stag]

i found out after i got through the high halls arena that there's a way to stop them from spawning there

[ruby dune]

Jjst djsable the.

[waxen hemlock]

what.

[ruby dune]

Holy typo

[clear delta]

There's a secret room in high halls where you can permanently stop them from spawning

[ruby dune]

Just disable them cause theres a funny room where they cant spawn

[waxen hemlock]

fr?

[clear delta]

It's a room where they infinitely spawn until you disable them

[clear delta]

Yeah
Hint is you gotta move something around to reach it

[waxen hemlock]

ok i guess i will have to remember this since im not in high halls yet

[clear delta]

Alright

Do you have the clawline (grapple)

[waxen hemlock]

no

[clear delta]

You need that for high halls yeah

[viscid lion]

THE FUCKING SPAWN OF SATAN

[clear delta]

What

[waxen hemlock]

is grimm in this game?

[viscid lion]

THE FLINTFLAME FLYER

[waxen hemlock]

oh that piece of shit

[viscid lion]

IM AWARE

[waxen hemlock]

this is what i have of the citadel rn

[mint nymph]

Yes

Sort of

[hollow galleon]

Me when i spread misinformation

[karmic trail]

(dramatic music)

[clear delta]

You can get to the spot with clawline from either vaults or whiteward. Good luck finding it

[foggy sigil]

There isn't even a grim equivalent.

[karmic trail]

Also "flying stinger". How interesting

[unreal kite]

im so pyoore vesal

[waxen hemlock]

real hornets in silksong DLC?????

[gloomy hill]

Me reference

[mint nymph]

Oh shoot that's highkey spoilers

[tidal glade]

Queen Vespa fight hopefully 🙌🏻

[waxen hemlock]

she is a bee or a wasp and she is dead

[clear delta]

Bee

[mint nymph]

She's actually a pikmin

[clear delta]

Vespa means wasp but I think she's meant to be a bee like everyone in the hive

[tidal glade]

Red Memory, anything's possible

[clear delta]

Theorie vespa is actually a yellow fly

[waxen hemlock]

i swear if hornets come to silksong im gonna cry since hornets and wasps are my #1 fear

[tight viper]

What if Vespa is secretly Groal the Great's older sister

[clear delta]

Groal the great is older than everyone in the verse so no

[gloomy hill]

True

This was already cannon tho

[waxen hemlock]

no she is clearly a queen bee

[clear delta]

She lied

[blissful cliff]

Which of these up attack options sounds the most fun or fits the theme of my crest the most?
Up Attack: Hornets up attacks are similar to her naked/crestless attack, but I have 3 possible ideas. 1. She uses her arms instead of legs attacking upward like the witch crest. 2. She uses her legs to swipe upward like the hunters crest. 3. She uses silk to swipe above her in a complete arc like the reaper crest down attack

[clear delta]

She's actually wearing a fur coat

[waxen hemlock]

how

[clear delta]

She just is

[velvet cape]

How is hornet wearing a cloak 😲

[waxen hemlock]

bee's fur are apart of them but hornets cloak is not a part of her so hive queen vespa is likely not wearing a fur coat

[velvet cape]

No way thats censored 😭

[pliant juniper]

why is vespa small in red memory btw

[waxen hemlock]

idk im not in that part actually idk what red memory is

[wispy girder]

thats her actual size iirc. infection made her massive

[pliant juniper]

oops

[velvet cape]

Isnt she dead by the time the infection happens

[wispy girder]

yea her corpse is in the bg

[velvet cape]

So she got massive while being dead?
