So sharp shadow? Horrible

Language
Touhou players is doing this like an average tuesday
MY EARBUDS ARE GONE
@native canyon @rich herald thoughts on stp wraith?
NOOOOOO
Do NOT become the wraith
unblock me and maybe ill consider giving them back
you could say your earbuds are lost like a lace
I noticed you retweeting that one comic and let me say it's peam
pls can enyone help my fix the game!
I mean you called her a glorified palestag so
you get this screenshot after sitting on the bench and leave the game right away

i find it interesting
i miss when gibralatsr didnt hate me
Anyways uhhhh i like absrad one of the best fights team cherry has ever made
Up up down down left right left right B A start
absrad is probably fun to those people who like doing hitless and everythingless
I DONT HATE YOU
I know this is any radiance
i pinged u and u ignored iirc,,,
Gruz mother is the best
THIS IS WHY YOU'RE THE GOAT
Shhh you'll wake her up
Calm down
Mmc>>>>

good beye
lowkey would rather fight 5 markoths in a row than ever use reaper crest
but to a casual player like me absrad at least phase 2 is just annoying as fuck and way harder than all the other bosses for no reason
absrad is qualityslop, you only like it because it's good
Would you hug a Moss Mother for one dollar
SORRY I WAS ARGUING WITH CHUDS ONLINE
shades what are you on wtf
i would pay a dollar to hug a moss mother
IM SORRY OSMUSSAAR
probably cus the fight is unique and learning it is completely different
its ok gibraltar,,,,
boss slop
gibraltar 🇬🇮 has a flag???
I'm on 0 hours of sleep is what I'm on
who the HELL is gibraltar
you guys just like bosses because they're boss slop
thats suboptimal you should eep gn
i fought absrad like 15 times and did not feel myself improving ermm skill issue!
It's all your fault btw
you are right
what that shoud do?
I've got a therapist appointment in 3 hours
I miss her.
if u fight 15 times and don't improve that is skill issue
vaguemessage king
like do i have to do it in the manu screen
if u didn't feel yourself even SLIGHTLY improving from dying 15 times
i fault the fight cus its not fun
or in extras
Turks and Caicos Islands have pretty good beaches in their capital city.
NO ASTIG WE NEED TO CALL THE SHIFTING MOUND RIGHT NOW
If you fight something that many times and you aren’t improving you have a skill issue
sounds like a bunch of excuse slop
You’re correct
i beat like her 6 times
What is wrong with your game
With friends like THESE you don't even NEED enemies
stop trying to do excuse slop
its along story]
friendship slop
:(
The neccessary EVIL:
sleep for 3 hrs
ENOUGH OF BEING THE WRAITH
i lost my initial safe file
it's always EVIL or GOOD but never neccessary neutral
no!
I have a silksong theory
Next person who types will be shaved bald
i improved enough to beat her and after that i didnt consistently beat her because some shit just isnt reactable for me
Blocked
and i used a safe file editor to get all the thinks i wasent having
You’re bald
im not training my reaction time for a video game
Wut theory
?
crazy
you go the point
hey osbald you got a friend now
i wanted to revcover my stuff
Joni fan was already typing
????
Doesnt count
STOPPPPP IM NOT BALD
Also blocked for calling oswald bald
So, the Wiki says the Steel menu style in silksong makes crystal sounds, but to me they sound like godtuners
IM LITERALLY RAPUNZEL
hhahaa baldness baldis basics
Also blocked for denying being bald
and eva now doesnt want my to give sphylsong
dont u got curly hair gng
hates me
lune im gonna amputate ur hair
City of Steel is our godhome
That’s literally every video game with combat dude
EVERYONE is getting blocked tonight
??? i aint do nothing
are u even playing a video game at that point
so i cant get in ||act 3||
i didnt have to get above average reaction time to beat every other boss in the game tho
youre hopping on the hate train youre supposed to back me up
if you aint training your reaction time for a video game you aint even playin cuh
L mans 
go play stardew valley my guy
if you’ve beaten other bosses you have above average reaction time
lowkey whining to whine right here
Embrace the Sinner's Road posting
you literally sent the motivational copypasta to everyone BUT me
sure didnt feel like it when i fought absrad
it is not a hate train I resent that! it's more like a truth train
sounds like a bunch of silk issues
almost every death felt unfair
every death is unfair to someone with a skill issue
i fought pv until i could do it radiant and it was the most fun shit ever
can you help my pls
merely beating absrad felt like shit
because pvs learning curve is far easier than absrad
chat do y'all use film grain
pv is just alot easier
Good morning to the one who does not give up
Whenever he stumbles, he gets up, and whenever he makes a mistake, he corrects it.
Whenever he failed, he tried, and whenever the days insisted on making him frown... he smiled against her will. ❤️
me when the harder boss has a harder learning curve
are u happy now
me when someone is worse at the video game than me
Yeah he is basically thk who teleports a lot
thats better. i take it back, you have long straight blonde hair
absrad is like fair 95% of the time? im not denying that she DOES have rng but its not that bad. and i dont say this after doing modded or anything, i havent touched any modded radiances so im not comparing her to anything here
No dude I’m laughing at you because you’re giving awful excuses
Don't know how to recover lost save files man sorry
maybe im just bad at platformers ❤️ ❤️
i said someone kn who to code
if u didn't feel any improvement from fighting radiance 15 times. then you just have a skill issue at that point
“Every death felt unfair”
“PV’s learning curve was easier”
“I didn’t need above average reaction time to beat every other boss”
Why is film grain even an option
again i like absrad phase 1
like she took me like 3 days in a row to radiant back 3 years ago but you can get better at the fight, its not completely unfair
so i can invert some think
because absrad phase 1 is like on the screen and stuff haha
idk....
shes just a very hard boss so its realistic that it's alot harder to learn
I think the big thing is not her rng but the climb
Guys bad enemy idea I came up.
Combine the big drizznet on the coral towers with the primal aspid
FUYCK THE CLIMB
whats wrong with climb?
the climb is brutal to the unprepared
Suggestion: ddark your problems away
Isn't that setting like making quality worse on purpose
yeah sure bro the fights still unfun
FUCK THE CLIMB
ure going to hell
incredible boss design
FUCK THE CLIMB
unfun is an opinion
what about black hair
absrad is just unfun for you and that's fine
it's to simulate old capture methods which eh.....
nothing it's just massively skill testing and reaction based
no
Mantis Lords is fun
i love spamming ddark its so fun and engaging
Yeah, I don't see why would Team Cherry add it there lol
Also i agree ddarking away shouldnt be an excuse for bad boss design but. You dont need to ddark nearly that often on absrad if at all
Its very much helpful as shit in Absrad but like its not required
this is why u have a skill issue
yeah having to ddark constantly instead of blasting the most shriekable boss is not fun
you see people enjoying a fight and then saying "ooo actually no it's bad"
probably best in phase 2 with those spikes
chat how would y'all feel about ddark iframes on landing getting removed
so you can't just land inside an enemy and walk away
erm before getting spells u only use ur needle
ddard would still have iframes before it contacts the ground
yeah its fun for the people who have like 1000 hours im sure
i guess enemies are unfun
oh my fucking god whatever im not saying anything anymore this is just gonna turn into a shit flinging situation again
Ddark the spikes
Ddark when she is above you then hit with nail
Stage 2 ddark when she is right above you then spam nails
For the climb...
Yeah good luck with that one
you just spam needle and nothing else
would be so weak tbh
i hate this fucking community none of you are good at discussing boss quality
needle slop
im just not bothered to learn the fight to make it fun cus getting to that point is not fun lmao
Why are we having Hollow Knight™ in this Silksong™ channel
boss quality is lowkey subjective
I'm an exception right? :)
unless it's pale stag. WE all hate palestag
Mantis Lords is peak boss design
#hk-general with image perms
YOU MURDERED ME WITH A KNIFE
#hk-discussion feels forgotten lmao
why is sister splinter is easy.
#WeAreHkGeneral
Because she is
I WANTED THE PRINCESS AND THE DRAGON IS THAT SO BAD IT'S NOT MY FAULT HOLLY MADE YOU THE WRAITH
err is this guy mad about getting to know ABS Radiance moveset in radiant difficulty or am I missing something
absrad phase 2 lowk felt like palestag
he's angry because people find radiance fun
chat I think imma abandon this steel soul and go get beast earlier
I'll need to think of my route differently...
im not twin ✌️
People find radiance fun?
no because theres a better change
it's lowk complex but not really fun
absrad is fun but not really base rad
gut ddark damage to shit
im mad at absrad (phase 2 SPECIFICALLY) cus it teleports off your screen and spams projectiles on tiny platforms
sharp shadow is better
Ddark my dear love save me
ITS NOT FUN i want to hit the boss
isn't the issue that it allows free dodging rather than the damage
it shouldnt exist in the first place yes but gutting its damage to shit is better than removing iframes
reaction bait
Why are you taking damage to bosses? Just use Descending Dark
sharp shadow is the best move in the entire game
ok but with less damage it becomes a lot less worth
Yes its still a free dodge but its sacrificing damage
errr its okay to boss in 2d platformer game to use 2d platformer mechanics in its bossfight
she only has 9 spawns iirc and if you play on the top plat, you cover 6 of them
also shade soul on far plats is double dmg for 80
yooo absrad can i hit you
absrad: no dodge my projectiles
it should do 1 damage total
only 9
you could also additionally remove some iframes at the end though but i think in general gutting the damage would be more significant
"The answer to life's problems is not ddarking ok?"
-Trevor sinnersroad
dodge my projectiles
each spawn is a 10% chance but the next one in a clockwise pattern is 20% i believe
so would have to be 9 spawns
compare it to every other boss in the game
the most "i'm gonna chase boss and forget about dodging or dodge without moving at all and wait" taticts enjoyer
Trevor Sinnersroad? Holy moly!
markoth is close to radiance is that a compliment
Sea of Sorrows should add more polearms
would rather fight 10 markoths at the same time than use reaper crest for 30 minutes
ngl i beat radiant markoth long after radiant ABSRAD
im more like "dodging projectiles constantly so i barely get a chance to hit the fucking bos"
I am silking it
Nerd react tis ratio
yo just pracitce more this phase is cool
and then youre on top of absrad and then she does that nail attack where she surrounds herself with nails and its super annoying and i hate it
ddark it
then you slightly move out of the way of her swords
i love arguing about absrad when i haven't even completed pantheon 5
just use descending dark or move left or right
I HATE P5
how are we STILL TALKING ABOUT ABSRAD
i hate sly so much
sorry i needed to get this out of my system
galien
obv i try to do that but im not a god who can do it every single time
Guys which is harder? All S ranks in cuphead + dlc or radhog?
True I love going through boring bosses for half of the runtime to get the chance to fight the actual good bosses
galien lowkey easy
chat i made tiramisu ts tastes like heaven lowk
Prove it
oh shit youre 1 pixel off the 20 pixel gap
I'm sure I'll be able to echo this sentiment a lot better after I start grinding r5
you dont need to be a god to dodge simple attack pattern
hardest boss in r5 for me somehow
it doesnt look aesthetic...
Dont even need to do that
mail some over, thanks
ts is ragebait probably or what
go grind p5ab :3
while yure being overwhelmed by like 5 other projectiles that are there or are coming
liar
how does one genuienly beat sly
acting like absrad aint the hardest boss in the game
astig I can't say what I want to say here
it tastes good but it doesnt look THAT good, looks acceptable..
he's so small i can't see changes in his stance
wait till he attacks -> great slash punish -> repeat
u kidding right
that's the entire idea of a boss rush, go through every boss one after the other
guys the final boss is the hardst wtf
p5ab is basically all the problems p5 has but exponentially worse
oh so patience slop
ok
.. yeah basically
phase 2 shriek makes u look good at the game though
Ok but it does not have to have every fucking homeless dude in hallownest
sly's pretty fun you should shriek his cyclone slash 3 times
i just pogo on his cyclone slash
I LOVE PHASE 2 SHRIEK 🗣️
yes it fucking does p5 is the "fight every boss" option
it'll crumble..
ngl if phase 2 absrad staggered id have no problem
is steel soul 100% silksong easier than pantheon 5
Okay look
I’m gonna go play persona 5 instead of have these kinds of arguments for the fiftieth time in a row
I'm going to say something that I'm not sure you're ready for but I think you'll understand
are we still on absrad is absbad argument
you're really showing your true self
what
I think a vast majority of p1 and half of p2 shouldn't even count as a boss
can we bully anyrad players instead
MAWLEK SLANDER
( @mortal dagger )
can we bully wanderer crest users
WOAH CHILL
Ummmm…
sure I buy that /gen
in what world am i an anyrad player smh
holly why are you in the anyrad server
maybe he's an undercover agent meant to find anyrad players
Idk
holly are you an anyrad fan...
i think everyone in gray here should not be a boss and there are very very very very good arguments for guys in cyan. Posting the tierlist bc i cant be assed to crop Im lazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
No
okay good

we only like well designed bosses here
sisters of battle top 1
ragebait

@verbal steeple what's that frame in your pfp
Unemployed arc
when sea of sorrow for playstation?
never
Silk Shaw Silk Shaw Garama Hup Raah
uhhh. i just went to shellwood without even going to bellhart or the far fields wtf
trees in minnesota right now for some reason:
didnt even know that was possible
im like 90% sure thats a speedrun route
i just killed a arena in bilewater
oh shit fr?
im also not a speedrunner so
now somethings going out of the ground
good fucking luck
Good luck
WHAT
your so FUCKED
GROAL THE GREAT
but i think you get simple key for wormways and then do some skips and then you do some skips in wormways to get to shellwood
HE ATE ME
also you'd grab sprint
kill him from the inside
guys i tried beast crest for the first time today and i think i am starting to forget all the other crests this game has
are you playing the game 10 seconds at a time and then pausing so you can report everything 😭
yes
swag
someone ping mods
my recommendation for you when you inevitably struggle like the rest of us is to lock in and then type on discord
i dont have the confidence for that after i pinged mods while a mod was there 
Silksong with no health no spool upgrade no needle upgrade + barbed wire is certainly something
just do it that is bannable its a scammer
no mods are on rn
yeah you’re so right
why dont you do it then? but sure
guys what do we say barbed bracelet for groal the great
Not like the message was deleted
well u got online
its gone now
look this is what im talking about im actually colorblind
im not going to be watching it 24/7 till its gone
im in negative money
Hi
sup
Who agrees that Silksong's stagger system is better than Hollow Knight's?
i enjoy the stagger graphics ❤️ it made it much clearer imo
Being on a timer unaffected by attacks unlike hk which cancels on the first hit
Idk tbh
The grimms being an exception to this
false knight? idk the mechanic that well i might be wrong
nice, this is the fourth chorus of the game but in reality it’s just a parry tutorial
I don't have parry..
you should go get it imo
idk where it is
On last mask
there’s still an entire side of the map you haven’t been to
average he/they
Beat Karmelita on my 5th try last night. That was a fun fight.
wait wrong image
Am i the only one that thinks that lost lace wasent RLLY that hard
Radiance was harder
I had to spam abyss shriek to even do any damage
why do I play this stupid game
I thought LL was harder, cuz she's a small target that does contact damage and keeps moving everywhere
I just find somewhere called the mist
Yea the most damage i got from LL was just me bumping into her
do you have the needolin?
And it's weird least to say
It has a gimmic. Try and figure it out.
I do
ok, then keep going
it's basically a labyrinth
there is a way out thou
Yeah i figured that out
It’s more like lost woods in Zelda.
do you want a hint or can you figure it out yourself?
My suggestion is don’t try to take on two of those wraiths at a time.
I'll try to figure it out myself
ok then
Is my game gliched i beat LL but the quest is still here
I better switch to a another crest
it never leaves
We are hollow knight we carry the void
Do I need to get all momentos for 100% file?
when you reload your save file, it goes back to before you fought LL, so it's always there
Do I need full journal?
no
Is pinstress hard
Somewhat
Took me I think 3 tries.
Maybe 4
It was hard enough I did a little dance when it was done.
It's like the lost woods from Zelda
Hornet vs Groal is just princess and the frog
But the frog doesn't try to suck the princess
The groal the greatest does
Hollow Knight: Sandborne
do i take this randomcrying baby
Yes
alr
May God bless you with all the patience.
hes cute in the inv tbh
how so?
no, I exist, and I'll die on the hill that LL is one of the worst final bosses ever
Chill out the game aint even done yet
Maybe they add a dlc with another boss
What if u can recruit lace after beating her as LL and u both go fight the last boss
Idk WHAT the last boss could be tho
Stockholm Syndrome in gaming form
Lost zote
Oh my god i love these 2 dudes so awesome
Worlds falling apart around em and they still mailing shit
Now thats what a call being a good courier
tipp and pill the secret goats of silksong
found a new area and wtf gng
gimmie a break i jus found bilewater
i saved a baby and ts whta i get team cherry???
oh alr
he finnaly has a useful thing
poison pouch gang is sad to hear you say that.
I'm actually not in the poison pouch gang anymore. I'm in love with injector, druid's eye, multibinder build. I can be aggressive and stupid and clumsy and still have enough healing.
I heard Ai can now hepl you witz Games I asked Gemini what the first area of silksong is, it said golden vaults, wtf
Quick, everyone pretend you’re a resident in silksong
Pollip pouch me friend
Praise the holy Citadel, it's the best for us polgrims
I asked something recently to AI about silksong, and it said there was no good answer since it hadn't come out yet... I was like, "Bro, it came out in September." And AI said, "Ah, my bad, you're right."
Sucks to be british. Imagine colonizing countries but forgot to colonize your foods
Hornet did NOT say that
guys i beat hollow knight but am completely ass at silksong
Uh yeah fym
My Ai said no I wasn't right and didn't play the real game
Must have been in act 4 or something
bro guys i am stuck at widow
huh
Go into right corner bell can't hit there
lol
2nd Phase right?
I think both

My Ai said the first Boss is the Mighti Golden Weaver
im gonna delets this in like 1m
Here is what Gemini said:
The first boss of Silksong is The Skittering Weaver, Silk-Thief Grol.
The Encounter: The Threaded Ravine
As Hornet wakes up in the depths of the Ravine, she isn't alone. Grol is a scavenger who has spent decades stealing the silk of fallen travelers. He doesn't want to kill you; he wants to unravel you.
Grol’s Tactics
- The Silk Lasso: Grol throws a loop of sticky thread. If it hits you, you aren't damaged, but your movement speed is halved for 3 seconds as you struggle to break free.
- Ceiling Drop: He vanishes into the darkness above and drops three heavy cocoons. You have to slash them mid-air, or they burst into a swarm of tiny, biting spiderlings.
- The Scavenger's Spin: He curls into a ball and rolls around the arena, trailing a line of razor-sharp silk behind him that stays on the stage for the rest of the phase.
The Twist
Halfway through the fight, Grol realizes your needle is made of "True Silk." He stops attacking and tries to trade with you instead. You have to decide: finish the fight to take his hoard, or accept his "stolen" charm, the Fractured Bobbin, which lets you heal slightly faster.
Should I describe the terrifying "Mid-Boss" that guards the exit of the Ravine, or would you like to hear about a fake new spell Hornet can learn?

And how does that make LL any better?
“ever” is pushing it
I don't know the context to this and I'm extremely confused
That I have ever fought*
LL isnt a terrible final boss, but imo shes a bad one
Who knows maybe we'll get a pantheon
thank you for clarifying, gamers :)
gms’s entire character is being a terrible parent
she is NAAAAWWWT getting a redemption arc
Do you think there should be the crest of the karak? If yes what should it do?
Meant as a bossfight
Cuz I've heard like 3 people say she was mid
i dont think karak would fit as a crest personally
but itd be cool
fair, she kinda was
What boss did u want then
Lost mommy prediction
I saw someone say that people keep pushing the lgbtq agenda on silksong but like
Clover Dancers are a gay couple (or were when the other was alive)
As well as
Nailmaster Sheo and Nailsmith are a couple in the first game im pretty sure
Also what fkn agenda
there are alot of gay characters in silksong
the only ones I could think of
A good boss?
grey mourner, green prince, sheo and nailmaster as you said before, and more
off the top of my head
What boss who tf did u wanna fight
she's les? I was actually completely unaware. Neat.
yeah she’s in love with the traitor’s child, it’s pretty nice
Clover dancers are the only couple I can think off of the top of my head 😂
but i dont think hk is pushing any agenda lol
Hi
Again, a unique boss with a good moveset, decently sized health pool, good arena, and has an interesting part in the main story
GODDAMMIT
cursed crest bind just BARELY doesn't let u reach the ledge that lets you reach widow
can't beat widow without cling grip
Do you hate silksong do we kill you
altho ig that's a good thing considering there's a climbing section in the widow dream
Yk what i'm not going to ask any questions
time to fight sister splinter with cursed crest
?
why did the gravity falls guy turn into this man this sucks
hey people I just watched the mossbag video on HK's story and was pretty amazed. what should I expect for SS? I know it's subjective but which one would you say has the "better" story
you should just play it and find out
the silksong story kinda mirrors the first game
cursed crest sister splinter defeated
took me 2 tries like moorwing
i didn't realize how much i really used healing
imo hollow knight has the better story, but id still give silksong a playthrough
knowing me i'll probably end up watching a vid anyways because i'm not smart enough for the cryptic type story-telling. will still finish ss tho
Guys team cherry just revealed that the sea of sorrow DLC is getting to big, and they're making a new game. We are getting Zoteboat
interesting. as in the theme is same but hk executed it better or SS has a different theme altogether?
ss has different themes, i like the theme theyre going for but the game's main story falls a bit flat
are you intentionally skipping bosses earlier to make your cursed run harder?
id still consider it a great game tho
first ending complete
keep going... the game is too fun, it can't be over!
?
how would it make my cursed run harder
they’re there so you can improve
also no i haven't skipped bosses
splinter sister usually get's cleared WAY before curse
i used a mod to start with cursed lmao
oh, that's what you're doing
How would he crest of the vaultkeeper work
i thought it would be the next step after 100% steel soul
trust me i debated skipping fourth chorus without the curse (yes i suck
)
nice. how fast did you do your 100% SS run?
the worst part is not being able to equip circlet
well 28-29 hours
Does pollip pouch damage scale with tool upgrades?
the steel soul achievement. the 100% steel soul. and the under 30 hour 100% completion
Now i have to do act 3
dang good luck
But i'm not motivated enough to do so
also apparently pollip pouch isn't affected by the defense modifiers of enemies
The damage of each tick depends on the number of Crafting Kits that Hornet has. Venom ticks deal 1 damage when Hornet has no kits, 2 damage when she has 1–2 kits, and 3 damage when she has 3–4 kits. Hitting an enemy that has been envenomed resets the effect.
-from wiki
wait resets the effect as in removes it?
or does it like reset the duration of it
no, it starts the timer again
ah
so max damage will be spread out the hits
I defeated Nyleth and Clover Dancers, do I need to defeat Khanna and Karmelita or is one of them enough?
just one is needed, 3 total... the 4th will be a momento
i risked my steel soul run by going with nyleth instead of clover dancers
only one
almost died against seth
nyleth is easier wdym
I'm not sure which one I say is harder... Khann is easy but 4 guantlets is rough
VERY rough
u need to fight seth before nyleth
seth isn't a dream boss. which means if u died there u die completely
nyleth is easier though
look above
you can just yk leave at any time
seth is the risk
just dodge a lot and get a few free hits
Seth is easy first try
nyleth first try seth second try'
i did almost die against him
plasmium is such a good tool in steel soul
wouldn't have completed steel soul without it
really?
yeah
how
it's extra HP
it takes so long to give a temporary mask
it doesn't take long
Oo Seth
also u can just stock up on plasmium and then start a boss
oh yea didnt think of that
the masks are there untill u get hit or rest in a bench
The clover dances are easy but verdenia is hell
if you use plasmium on a boss and then pause quit, do you get the plasmium back or no?
also it saved me in the abyss climb lmao. i actually escaped the abyss climb with only 1 mask
nope. any tool usage is saved
finally someone who gets it
yeah but in steel soul u atleast won't risk your entire run with verdania
magma bell saved me fr
as an idiot i did abyss climb with CIRCLET and hunter crest
i didn't die that many times in verdania on my first play thru, why do people say verdania is bad?
ur just a god gamer ig
if i didn't have plasmium i wouldev died
I say Verdania is bad because it's an awful region
hunters creast isnt even bad
yeah but circlet is what made it horrible
Wish me luck on steel soul last judge
How do i get acess to the upgraded druid eye
oh yea i can see that
i think i did the guantlet first try, and died once besides pale stag, and pale stag only got me the first time, cleared the second time.
phantom is probably easier
Mist.
true
Bring more mossberries here. Mmm. Yes, we will trade.
I NEED AN ANSWEAR
need all the druid eyes... one is up in the citadel act 2
I ain’t doing deatless mist
the thing is i did this all with only one needle upgrade so maybe thats why i thougbt it was hard
That is the answer
No it isnt
verdania with ONE needle upgrade?
Yes it is
ah, I had all 4 upgrades
mist is easy just jump and pogo on the dudes
YEA
bro why did u torture yourself
Can i get someone whos actually usefull here
Go find mossberries and bring them there
just look up moss berries on a guide or something...
collect all mossberries
I cant unlock it
you need more mossberries
i didnt want to do allat flea hunting and stuff so i saved it until right before lost lace
Bring more mossberries here
I did that before and sold em do they come back?
you need to collect every mossberry in the game nd bring them to them
if u didn't get druid's eye then u didn't collect them all
how the hell did you sell them
you don't have them all...
Is this ok hp to go fight lj?
alex. if u didn't get the upgrade. that means u didn't get them all
go to a bench bro
[[mossberry]
lj?
it's steel soul. don't risk it
[[mossberry]]
Nah, I’m just healing
Ate em idfk
also did u get upgraded hunter crest
JUST GET ALL
go to this wiki page and collect every mossberry
nah you gave them to her, but there is still one or some out there.
Yeah
did you get the one in the memorium?
did u get the one near wanderer's chapel
the one above bone bottom. the 2 in moss grotto
the one in a hidden room near that druid lady
I love flea dodge because its either you wait 10 seconds for something to happen or youre fighting for your life
guys speedrunning the game in under 5 hours was actually easier than i thought
and u can't be mad because it's fleas
Lj is actually easier
what was your route
Than I thought
phantom
Anyway, ACT 2 STEEL SOUL!!!
that's the most you can have unless you enter the citadel via phantom
never gotten mad at flea games because every fuckup was my fault
flea juggle was annoying
okay but what tools did you get and did you get any upgrades like masks and spools
maybe even evo hunter
im better at flea juggle than i thought i was
I can acctually
no mask no spool only wanderers crest
Death to fleatopia
Cro
I’m just really bad at dodge 
no tools too
okay did you get any tools
no
damn okay
u can pogo on them btw
Do I go into underworks?
No
i know
what about u
Yeah uh huh, yep, totally how it's supposed to work, uh huh
How does this even happen
There's no worthwile in underworks in early act 2
i do both clawline and pogo and i got 112 one time and my score has still not escaped the 70s consistently 
clwaline gng
Who is chappel roam
Worst part of the game
people seem to think u can only get clawline from beating trobbio
when u can actually get it with whiteward
who thinks that fr
Early act 2 and also that part isn't really bad compared to the part connected to the grand gate
Also how does this work
i always to phantom route so i dont know
So.
I posted this poll. Anyone here would like to guess the answer.
theres a secret bench
there better be
second answer
gibberish and faulty
The third
Only time I lost my roseries in act 3 was that area
I’m actually rich asf
Oh it's the second
on the 3rd booty hair to right of diddys receding hairling there shall be a few unbreakable walls
I spent like 2 hours trying to get to choral chambers
Go to underworks and give it to the confessional
I'm so glad you don't acctually need to go there at the start of act 2, terrible even in replays
But the thing is, last judge is one of my favorite bosses
seth is really good too
So I'm split into doing last judge and suffering in underworls
Second hardest boss In the game
no way
I agree Last Judge is amazing, but the Underworks is so painful to go through.
You don't need to go to underworks after judge
seth was too easy for me
u can skip doing the underworks btw its not even a glitch
You can go to choral chambers directly from lj route
WHAT?
Yeah
exactly
But in my first playthrough i didn't know that
i see wanderer users struggling and tbh i get it since they only attack between attacks
but as a witch crest user ive never struggled with seth even with hitless he was one of the easiest ones
And If I didn't watch bluesr te Speedrun id never know
this was entirely accidental and unplanned i'm genuinely going to end it all
Yes just hit those platforms at the grand gate from the bottom and it'll go up (and the other will go down)
Do i get the hornet statue from flick and lose 3 hours of progress, tool getting and bossfights
Yes way
Or progress
is bilewater really that bad guys
Seth took me a little while in my first playthrough but he's fine imo
First time traversing yes
seth is 3rd hardest imo after ll and karm
Not that bad
Karm is easier ngl
hell no bro
Karn is only hard because of the gauntlet
Haven't reached him yet in my replay but it just seems like you gotta keep him on your screen and pay close attention to see if he'll do the ground or air shield teleport
????
The gauntlet is so free
karm's gauntlet is not that hard huh
You can't even die
No way
It's basically free silk before the fight
the 2 big guys are a bit hard but like not enough to bring karm as a whole up a notch
where is it...
Dude I hate the gauntlet SM I struggle with it immensely
You must've hated hunter's march
No? Hunters march was so much easier then i heard online
Legit the easiest thing in act 3
I hated hunter's march on my first playthrough
It was a cakewalk for me
Ngl me too
Hunter's March is overhated
If you do it before dash, 100%
i got to hunters march in like late act 1 so it wasnt that hard for me
It's fine imo it's kind a nothing burger if you're fighting it late
Otherwise its hell
Does anyone actually hate Hunter's March? Outside of the initial torture?
Fuck did I say man
Silksong is an easy game
Hunter's March is not that bad
