sawtooth scales off needle damage right
this is the scariest shit ive ever seen in my life
no, crafting kits
i run sawtooth for shamans as well, egg and volt filament are other obvious ones, egg might be switchable depending on person and the challenge

My heart was racing 
Would you run sawtooth or something else on beast
i have 68 on flea juggle
understandably 
Is it normal for me to get hit a lot on my first playthrough
It woulda been weird if otherwise
wait im trying to understand this is hornet double jump- pogo double jump clawline and repeating????
im still contemplating tbh, its weird, depends on the challenge
injectors, volt filament, and sawtooth i all have considered on beast crest
Im thinking about doing a 1 mask no spells run but allowing tools on beast.
its basically jump and attack spam at the same time, clawline is just to stay close to the enemy usually
everyday i remember no-hit hollow knight run exists
i made this gif hold on
beast crest users would kill their own kind for that blue vesticrest
clarifying 1 mask not a full nohit run
dash attack > clawline > double jump > pogo > clawline > dash > double jump > pogo > double jump > pogo
and I would do the same because I love that shit
i would probably say sawtooth, though injector is probably safer. Sawtooth for speed injector for safety
@latent bane
what about claw mirrors?
if im binding for damage
i dont know enough about them, plus if you are talking about a regular run right? you dont get them till late, though idk what 1 mirror does
CM is too risky on 1 mask
it's even normal to just drop the game and never touch it anymore since Silksong is actually pain in the ass for anyone without experience in metroidvania(or any similar genre) or at least HK
why does it shred enemies faster than wanderer dash attack volt filament parry πππππππ
because sawtooth circlet is just goated like that
everybody has the capability to git gud 
there are people here with hundreds of deaths in their first 10s of hours dont worry man
just taking frequent breaks did wonders for me tbh
Nah I played hk and Im still getting whooped by everything haha
Shawtooth gets you 34 damage in act 2
Yeah I do that
silksong has a very harsh difficulty curve to be fair
When your needle damage was still 3
I am trying to learn how to learn how to use sawtooth circlet rn and GOD the amount of inputs I have to mash is crazy
*13
counterpoint:
Silksong is a newer game with different mechanics and hornet is a different size from the knight, it definitely needs getting used to
even best hollow knight players died to bosses a bit in skong so
agreed
witch crest btw
the clip only has 3 circlets, its not carried by circlet here
my friend insisted i get all of hollow knight's endings minus p5 before i start silksong and boy was he right
dash attack, 3 pogos, and 2 clawlines as well
illusion do you have an LL witch clip i want to see how you deal with small enemies on witch
Because witch dash attack has higher damage ohtput
I died to bell Beast multiple times on my 1st playthrough despite having radianted NKG
I wanted to try it but like its too much for my brain so Im just running druids eyes and reserve bind instead
I love using my mouse for silksong I have button 4 for inventory and button5 for binding and the only buttons I need to press on keyboard are the movement and Q for silk skills and E for clawline
not really maybe ill need to find one
ME TOO its mostly just a matter of you still getting used to silksong's new movement mechanics
Ill try it out in my next playthrough
and the one secret button for POSHANKA πππ
i have an ascended fight from a long time ago
no worries, didnt know if you have one on hand, thats my only worry with witch crest atm
lifeblood overdose on witch crest is really op too cuz you can heal passively or with the bind
hornet definitely is a bit different from the knight in that regard
someone send that poshanka gif I dont have perms
OD on Beast is even more OP
small targets seem akward for witch but i need more playtesting with it tbf
OD on beast is complete overkill
I see, thanks guys for like talking me through haha
You got a free +1 mask on heal before the lifesteal
Beast is already nigh unkillable
OD just breaks it even more
Another reason why beast needs a nerf
Yo mehieddin i got a cool karmalita fight
The only thing I can manage to do with sawtooth rn is witch pogo
also PLUS no one is forcing u to git gud at silksong, not even hornet herself!!!
sawtooth pogo?
Do hunter
Hi chat
I melt Karmelita in seconds with beast OD

Just rebeat lost lace this time without resorting to toolspam
you will win. 
It works well? I mainly use the pogo for damage
hiii
i havw this fight from a long time ago and itβs not optimized cuz i didnt feel like it
I like how my fingers circle around the inputs
Oh hasn't that been a thing since hk?
Using contact dmg to skip boss toars
All good, just curious how the fight goes
i streamed the beginning of silksong to my friends and one of the things i initially couldnt stop commenting on was how perfectly hornet's cloak flows when she walks
Not all bosses sadly some
notable ones are both dung bosses, collector, traitor lord
I guess in hk some bosses dont have their hitboxes register before their scream is done as well im pretty sure , i would need to fact check that though
iirc sawtooth can also block horizontal attacks right
unless i need to play this game more 
spogo is so terrifying to me on her lol, bind on parry makes sense though, good thing to remember 
yeah its surprisingly decent for parrying
yea, its funny in shakra fight, can deflect rings quite a bit
saved me many times in high halls gauntlet with all the mfs who fly everywhere and throw shit
high halls gauntlet is the only gauntlet besides the bilewater gauntlet that i can safely say
and long enough horizontal reach to kill the evasive ones
is absolute buns
Just use beast for high halls
agreed
It completely trivializes it
hha killed my most successful speedrun attempt π
Then again what does beast NOT trivialize
spogoing in between hits is the best idea
exploration
im debating if i want to attempt a (pantheon mod silksong speedrun) curious how fast i could do it with beast
trobbio
you can see me spogo between the dashes
I feel a lil robbed here ngl
Also trivializes
geometry majors needed for beast pogo πππππππ
geometry majors π:::
Funny enough it does trivialize alot of sections due to the massive range on the pogo
Or just learn that the pogo goes forward then down like a mid air dash 
It's extremely simple and easy
βJust use delvers drillβ ew what r u talking about, I am GOING to pogo like a saw
How do you like repeated use beast pogo
holy shit
I cant like reposition myself to spam it
Guys what is better beast pogo or architect pogo
what mod is this btw?
wavedash turnarounds to go through her is awesome
If you don't do the tech you just hold either directions for Abit to move yourself slightly from the enemy then pogo again
no mod just savedited to have 1 mask
Obviously beast pogo, it's one of the best
While architects is just outright horrible because of the sticking you to the enemy
OHH gotcha
yolo speedrun attempt time fuck it
LOCK IN you got this
its sawtooth for beast isnt it...
Or
i hate it so much

the most magnetic bell in the world
flee brew is when i run out of silk for bind and need to gain it to get bind back quicker
I personally uses druid eyes with Beast
So I can tank and gain silk
While healing through lifesteal
hmmm i wonder if druid eyes would hmm
intresting
i might need to do multiple runs tbh
I uses it as my Karmelita killer build
fuck maybe barbed braclet is bad for speedrunning
I just use injector band
but sawtooth damage
Only if you die because of it
I believe i wont surely 
Beast rage is also block proof which is even better against Karmelita
claw mirrors clears
i prefer injector band for beast since you typically dont wanna get hit during rage anyway
hi
my reaction to this build: yes
i also like running delvers drill with beast so i dont have to awkwardly navigate midair for the pogo to hit
Uh
Getting hit during rage is fine though
Either way you're gonna spam bind like a madman
not if you want maximum uptime
since it reduces how long you stay in rage
Even if you facetank you get basically 100% uptime 
Only difference is time spent binding and silk usage
i like having some extra silk because i use cross stitch
gets me out of dangerous situations easily
wb sharpdart
With beast you just chug the dangerous situation 
crossstich is good but glazed
sharpdart maybe but if the enemy is against a wall or whatever im kinda screwed
also just feels good to land the parry
so i prefer it
if its againt a wall y even use a silkskill
the true average beast crest user
cursed video
fair enough actually
im just addicted to the parry lul
Putting wanderer facetankers to shame showing them real facetanking 
just use shaman atp bro π
ts shit is so balanced
attack directly on me? who cares?
Not a single damn one hit ππ
Iβve seen enough massacre rune rage
waste of silk just dodge its an excuse for being ass
yeah this is another good thing about cross stitch you basically just get one or two free hits after
the amount of iframes after the anim is wild
Or just facetank and continue attacking with beast 
watch me face tank with reaper
Guys i slipped in a water with larvas and now i cant have silk
i must be stupid or something because i;ve run all around Shellwood and i CAN'T find the last polyp heart
-
nerfs rune rage and reaper
-
buffs beast and cross stitch
Team cherry be like
What should i di
should of got the wreath of purity
you need to bind to get rid of it
you can
Iβve seen enough massacre reaper and rune rage again
it just gets drained over time so you need to rack up silk quickly
Ok
did they nerf reaper what
"what if descending dark was even more busted?" -William pellen, high as balls
ddarkβ¦β¦ 2!
It's a joke lo
Widow is a Stand user, her Stand is Withered Foxy
honestly ik its lore accurate or whatever but i kinda hate thread storm its kinda boring as a skill i wish we got something like imagine a silk bomb lol stupid ideas
when is ddark 3
that's basically Sharpdart/beast pogo
i've gotten three in the upper half of shellwood, and two in the bottom half
LOL
but there's one more and i can't find it
i thought it might be somewhere in the bottom left side of the map
shellwood
no shit
wdym you was looking in the marrow
i dont get people asking ts on discord go search it bro
Just got hollow knight silksong!
hornet fucking dies
what's better on shaman crest, weavelight or spool extender
nah tbf its a spoiler landmine when u go look stuff up
fuck you i was looking in SHELLWOOD where the wish SAYS and i still can't find it
I still find it funny how team cherry saw beast crest and thought: "yep, give it armor, shield and parry piece"
When reaper is still fucking dead in a ditch π π π π
ok
weave probably
have fun
it's just more enjoyable to ask people here than looking it up
weavelight
yea that too
ill take the chances bro π
youll spend longer with no silk than full silk as shaman
ideally youd run neither but weavelight is better
also i get to feel good answering peoples basic questions 
that being said, do you know where the 6th polyp pouch is? 
i swear i don't even remember there being 6
i already 100% everything and didnt really need guides other than for twisted bud yarnaby
somewhere shellwood and stop looking in the wormways
Isn't it 5
Pollip pouch still useless 
i fogot he existed
what should i use if i already have volt filament and egg of flealia
go to hell
stop looking in the void
the one thing i really needed a guide for was ||nylethβs location|| because why the fuck is the entrance there
low effort ragebait honestly
It's not ragebait
Pollip is genuinely the worst blue tool in the game and desperately needs a buff, lol
i couldve found it up TM Trobbios butt before there oml
ok all the locations i remember by heart, i know theres one in both of the big rooms, one next to cling grip, one after cling grip, one in that flower parkour room, and one in the widow runback
underworks workers worked to build the entrance to work more
damnit, i haven't gone to the widow area yet
they built it in on the mf ceiling
the map says that's considered bellheart so i thought it couldn't be there
injector band or fragmented mask imo
thank you so much
Pollip is actually not super good.
it connects up to another part of shellwood that acts as a shortcut for widow
its damage is very low
what if i'm too good to get hit
Team cherry has a fuckton of questionable design choices
"Let's add a poison tool!"
- makes it deal dogshit damage
- doesn't allow it to stack
- any venom is removed and reapplied on every tool hit

it's not the greatest blue tool in the game but i'm about to fight widow and i want it
brotha
It's garbage against widow
man i cant play silksong atm
then yeah i guess run weavelight or anything else that buffs your damage
yet the silk skill buff tool is insanely op lmao
Like
Pollip in general is garbage, but again widow and bosses that teleport or move out of the screen in particular it's abysmal trash
is it stupid to use both barbed bracelet and druid's eyes together
idk man extra damage sounds good to me
your not sooo, spool ext, multi bind, warding bell, dark mirrors, your welcome stay safe
probably
power went out out of nowhere. an electric pole got burnt so its gonna take a few hours for it to be repaired bru
if she teleports or he idk teleports out of view it does nothing
1-2 extra damage if you only use 1 tool every 5s 
And you also have to pray widow doesn't teleport aswell so she doesn't remove the poison
i am though
rip
i just wanna get some bind reserve
does doing that make u take '2 hits' every time and give u the full spool every time?
Flintslate, volt filament, S A W T O O T H
wdym automated teller machine
well what build are you going for
at the moors
i'm serious, what blue tool would i use on shaman if i already have volt filament, egg of flealia and i don't get hit
at the moment*
ah
blue only?
Pin badge 
spell build that doesn't use tools that rely on getting hit
longclaw is good
shamanβs charge attack is meh
Advanced Tech Moorwing (atm)
Volt filament: "what if cross stitch was even more busted?"
Bigass range
Good for Bluetooth silk
weavelight
on shawman home boy ππ
How are you supposed to use rune rage?
no if you take 2 dmg once, druid's eyes only gives 1 silk
Snitch Pick, of course
if you like dash cancelling you can use sawtooth
i love snitch pick but on shaman??
pray and hope it hits something (its so random)
Works just fine
yes and also pollip pouch β
Long wind up time and even though I imagine it's meant for crowds I can't avoid getting hit
clawline is the same on every crest
lace
Sucks as a reward for first sinner tbh
I fucking loved that fight though
it really needs a buff
ok longclaw technically helps you get more silk so i'm using it
its ok you get to pretend to be pure vessel (it doesnt work 90% of the time)
maybe have it increase chance on hitting the target predictively
For me the real trick was using claw line offensively
the fight itself is the reward ig
at max needle how much does a clawline with max hunters focus do (with snitch pick)
best boss in the game fr on cod
35
And I think that's meant to be the point
Iβve seen enough nerf it
@earnest drift use weave light, pin badge, or wispfire lantern for passive dmg
ahh i found it
Eh, I've enjoyed GMS more tbh
why tf would i use wispfire lantern on shaman crest
lowk rune rage would be cooler if the runes were actually pure vessel size
She's easier but it's such a fun boss fight
she's tooo eaaasyyy
damn it's that ass?
forget it just use weavelight
Who needs silk on your silk focused crest
i swear it did good damage against groal
Y e s
also i cheated to have snare setter in act 3, and the runes look really nice on the floor of lost lace's arena
rune rage should just have the ability to nuke the target if it hits
best use of pollip pouch
Because GMS is a genuinely fun and well designed boss, it just ends too soon
It was your tool damage, lol
At max toolkit it only deals 3 dmg for 2 ticks, and it doesn't stack, and is removed on every single tool hit and reapplied
Early game on your projectile red tools
hehehe
seth π©·
Oh
Best use of Pollip Pouch is making the Silkshot look like the Needler from Halo
What's bottom left
ah yes the three silkshots of pharloom
oh nice you finally evolved it once
fastest spider in the wild west
thats the steel soul exclusive tool? i think?
maybe?
What do
yes
regardless my tool case is ass and polyp pouch is unironically the best i can get rn
its the tool stachet
lets u hold more tools
Ah
best for early game imo
replaces dead bugs purse lol
PolPouch is fine in the early game
you get 4 slots btw lol
i thought it gives you a ton of shell shards
this build is shit btw
At least try to make these believable
nah thats the growstone which is diff
flea is ass
i got warding bell, magma bell, that druid berry thing, and the broken mask
ohhh ok cool
where's the Crest of the Silkposter
u get growstone from doing the steel exclusive quest
Broken mask should basically always be on for you

That and pol pouch
oh not added yet in next update
growstone such a good item ngl
Have you gotten wanderers crest yet?
less shard farming
i died to unravelled because i was to greedy
yeah but i wish you could get it a bit earlier in your run
true
Don't burn your simple key on it if not, you can snag it right after getting the wall jump for free
i do like the randomness factor of it tho, it spices up your steel attempts
i like that the mode where you dont use as many shellshards gives you the more shellshards item
lol i used way more shell shards in steel soul than in normal
red tools are such a good backup option
whereas in normal im just like 'eh i can heal whatever'
leaked silksong dlc cutscene
"Miss Hornet, your bellhome is now 5000 rosaries due on rent. I advise that you settle your rent within this week, or, and I am quite sad to say this but, you will be kicked out of your own home if you don't."
she sells shell shards on the sea of sorrow
act 4: capitalism
π
pavo becomes the new gms
alright let me cook up the worst boss ever for masochists give me 5 minutes
Hi!
hi
Greedy Money Sucker
It already exists, hitless voltvyrm but the floors and walls are lava
.. clawline?
the ceiling hurts
why lava and not voltnest electric walls and floors?
I meant to air stall
won't do any good
@light swan @tight viper I got my nohit for lost lace!!! video incoming
Nothing to gain height with
what are u clawlining tho, volty disappears half the time
Wtf do u do
No way to safely damage
Air to stall
Pray to whatever higher power you believe in
Nice!
BET
you can pogo snare still setters still right? tech for floorless walllless voltworm xD
good job
Would it bounce you?
architect crest with snare setter air pogo
guys I am just getting news that sherma will die in sea of sorrow by 2nd sentinel
won't be enough, methinks
probably not but funny concept
What if i do the sea before 2nd sent
worth a shot, though
might be enough to stall you so you can clawline to voltvyrm
@light swan is this enough wavedashes for you?
idk if clawlining voltvyrm will put you into the ceiling though
If you clawline the voltvyrm, you'll go up into the ceiling
sherma will return as a boss
It flys like those shitty bell throwing guys, give muckmaggot and the freezing affect no matter what (faydown and purit) and it goes underground like unraveled and shoots out primal aspid shots and the platform is moving at 20 Mph also breaking apart and dropping and there is lava muckmaggots under it, oh also it does 4 damage without barbed bracletβ¦ and has 8 phases, also the Abs rad climb with 25X faster light beams of muck maggots and lava and if the lava hits you the entire fighting sequence restarts also you are forced to use witch heal, beast pogo, and wander attack with reaper speed also you are charmless at 5 masks with no silk regeneration ππΌππΌππΌππΌππΌ
what if you clawline like the lowest part of voltvyrm though
There's like one spot you can safely clawline it, and even that is a thin margin that will result in you dashing away into electricity
damn lol
only works if it's in the middle, I believe
info i have 0 clue about because who the fuck clawlines voltvyrm lmfao
Sherma gonna be infected by G-virus
i fucking hate architect silkshot so much
you wish who used clawline more?
wouldnt throwing the needle and kicking in the face hurt more than a normal strike if we are real tjough?
team cherry
Guys where should i go after i beat splinter sister
left of her arena
Alr did it
I've tested it out a bit for no floor, no wall, no silk skill, no hit. It didn't end well
u got the ability?
More stuff designed for it ig?
Only " designed " is nyleth id say
Its still good elsewhere
Ye
Sister Splinter, however, might actually be possible
how
Barely possible
alr then go to the part above bellhart
every boss that can be fought after getting clawline has massive opportunities for clawline to be useful
fair lol
especially every airborne boss
Btw how i unlock those bells at bellhart
i guess by the time i thought about using it everything was dead already
time to fight Widow again, it took me HOURS to beat her on my first playthrough
this is my second
u gotta beat someone up (||widow||)
my second playthrough was 1st try
And where i find her
?
that finish was AWESOME
wall climb to the right of sister splinter entrance
like far far right
im so glad someones mastered wavedash turnaruonds im so glad i taught some hunter tech for once
If someone its playing rn silksong can make me a video from the sister splinter room to the widow place?
those wavedash turnaroudns are beautiful
devon you better watch it buddy
I am doing it so instinctively you can see me almost kill myself in the second clip and have to stop myself from doing the wavedash so i don't lose.
sick gameplay but i do find it very entertaining that you burnt 5 silk to flex during the phase transition
@frito hop on (once you finish your fwgshhs challenge thing)
at 19 seconds that tiny jump is me about to wavedash and then realizing "oh shit that would kill me" at the last possible moment
nah you wouldve lived
i've done the fight so many times that i chat with gms using taunts to pass the phase transition.
you should wavedash turnaround like, during stuff like staggers
That'll take a while lol
is there a reason for clawlining over the waves instead of running to the walls?
when shes shooting the orbs into the air? shes slightly elevated so my muscle memory would have betrayed me too.
is there a reason you arent cross stitching the waves?
true...
never thought about it honestly
ive heard somewhere that jumping as youre attacking is faster attack speed than normal
but if anything, you can attack as you jump and now yourei n a prime spot to wavedash turnaround
you should learn anyway
clawline after the combo :D
Theres a lot more wavedashable attacks in that fight too, rng didn't favor me for them tho as some she has to appear very close or theres not enough time to do it safely
her parry for one
her triple swipe
and her triple lunge can be done too if its the first lunge
does fritos challenge allow silk skills
for me my muscle memory is built around doing it right as i see certain attacks start so my brain doesnt process doing that during staggers when im super locked in
ya i get it lol, just food for thought if you consider it
yeah i do want to do further runs as she is one of the more fun fights
gotta do coral tower still tho...
Ooh also i can do my tierlist now
my tier list is funny
i only know my top 5 and i dont care about anything else
why is moss mother in interesting
the VERY cool tier is technically S tier and the pretty cool imo tier is technically A tier
first two tiers are purely my top 5
everything in truly peak are all tied for 2nd favorite boss
I just did couriers rasher with mere SECONDS left to spare
i could not care less about bell eater, its so inoffensive i have no bad feelings towards it
bell eater is cool in competitive pokemon which is cool though
arena trap ability is strong
bell eater carried by its theme
yeah only if the lore and design is not that good
Having fun in paradise
learn dash cancelling when
Heres my tierlist of how fun i found each boss to nohit with no tools
I probably know how, I'm just shit with terminology
Man voltvessels will go crazy when pantheons drop
Do people still play this game?
βWhenβ π
No i've never played this game before in my life
No, itβs dead
its when you cancel your attack cooldown with adash
why is second sentinel not in S
I played this for a week at launch and stopped
second sentinel is probably one of the funnest bosses to nohit compared to doing it normally
oh that, yeah that's easy
Id probaby like them more without cross stitch but cs kinda trivializes them
Next run perhaps
Yall have some huge love for this game!
Skong godhome dlc in 9 years
Super cute
I feel like my most controversial take in the list is wate at f
I just did not have fun
Sucks that itβs not as replayable as Voidheart π
Elden Ring is way better
my playstyle was boring af, i will probably like them more if i tried something else.
and they have crazy good reverse dash attack potential, especially cuz hunters dash attack is good
Elden Ring is my favorite game
and wavedashing also sounds awesome against the triple slash
shadow of the erdtree was incredible
Surely architect pimpillos and voltvessels and like sting shards will be the way
Someone should do sandworm only wate
That was my favorite DLC of all time lmao
Trueβ¦
My favorite boss from Elden Ring has gotta be either Heolstor or Adel
No needle no skills no tools just luring them to sandworms
aww its hit and run tactics
missing out so much, this boss has so much room for cool things
I think i gave up on trying to style on watcher at the edge because the runback was miserable.
ah, i think wate was the first boss i used godhome mod for lol
My favorite is the fat dude with the spear π. He was so annoying
I might give them another chance eventually but im just not a big fan
I hate the fire giant
Iβm trying to remember who this is but it could be anyone
I like bosses with a lot of attack variety and wate didn't do it for me
The twin dude
π π»
Or the brothers
The Godskin Duo?
Yes
Interesting choiceβ¦.
idk why i was locked out with animation cancelling against this bos
I am really bad at names
Spears are fun
i just timed it super late for some dumb reason
looks more fun than what i did but his attack variety still makes me not super into him
yea thats fair
which is funny bc i like shakra
but idk something about her moveset clicked with me
probably bc i love clawline
we're the opposte lol
Radahn is my top favorite
i gave up on shakra because theres no good styling on her
Which one
When you first fight him
doing first sinner hitless on anything that isnt witch is such a missed opportunity
Okay but like Heolstorβs sky related attack is coolerβ¦
its so boring on eveyrhting else
and honestly witch has some of the best damage output against first sinner compared to other crests too which makes me happy
hunter gets close but ultimatey is not as consistently high damage as witch
Yeah but you already experienced fighting him so it wasnβt as good when you first fight him
since dash attack attack doesnt cover her backdash and is a bit slower
Unraveled judges us with a spear? Is that some kind of spear of justice
I mean this attack not PCRβs meteor
And all the cutscenes with him are awesome
and if she teleports away super fast then you get less damage than witch too
and also staggers are the best with witch which hits the highest damaging attack in the game against fs
what happens if you don't get cursed before act 3? or is it a requirement
Nothing really
Itβs not a requirement and you still can get that
Not a requirement you just get locked out of the twisted child ending
so you could technically beat ||lost lace|| while cursed and leave hornet cursed forever?
If you continue to act 3
No
first sinner was the first boss nohit i recorded, my gameplay looks pretty similar tho
game says no
hornet doesnt jump down if shes cursed
You canβt enter the LLace fight with the curse
oh
The parasite gets pissy enough about the void to not let you down there
it's cool that they thought of that
Itβs not cool that this thing exists
You would forbid something from existing? How cruel
You should be able to fight ll with curse
it looks a lot less frantic and also yea definitely less damage output tbh
Idk if that would even work well on her
I think next runthrough of these nohits will be for dlc.
and then again after all dlc with maybe beast crest no spells
SHAKRA APPRECIATION
Shes so peak
But yeah im very proud i managed to take down ll like that, I wanna try to get a cleaner win but for my first success i think that ll run was pretty clean.
its so peak
i wish shakra wasn't so easily missable
yeah but its neat as a secret
Looks awesome. Idk if i could ever manage that level of comboing consistently lol
well done
like first success nohit or first success doing all the fancy stuff
i wish witch had more blue slots
i want to use snitch pick
but i need to aurafarm with the strongest attack in the game
that video was my first successful attempt at nohitting ll. I could have won earlier if i wasnt trying to do cool shit and play aggressive but thats no fun.
if vesticrest got any more blue slots beast and witch would become absolutely busted unfortunately
unfortunately? nah thatd be PEAK
hi
So I just found out how ass high halls gauntlet without faydown is
but the others would get left behind
snitch pick rdac would in actual bossfights would be awesome
witch is already left behind tbh
actually would they
beast would leave everything behind though
@earnest drift did you see my ll clip
if we got another blue vesticrest how would that affect balance
multibinder mirrors beast would go crazy
oops where
Beast would be cracked
slow bind 134 damage per bind + the attacks
beast probably wouldn't have multibinder claw mirror synergy, similar to witch
i hope it does
i dont know how multibinder beast works actually
beast having 2 blue slots would not make that big of a difference imo
does it play a bind animation twice or is it the same just longer
2 as in like
good job

no tools either
1 normally + vesticrest
no that would be overpowered
if it had 2 built in that would be overtuned
Longer animation, + 1 recoverable mask
2 in vesticrest 0 built in
i really don't think so
so its not split into two binds?
No
well it sort of is?
It isn't
i think it fires claw mirror twice and the first one clears maggots + second one heals
it makes sense, both witch and beast don't have the overdose bind downside, but they don't have the claw mirror + multibinder synergy
well i know for multibinder mirrors on witch
Act 3 no context
the bind gets split in half, with 2 and 2
mirrors activates in between, but not at the end
so even if beast bind gets split in two, it probably might just do the same where it still fires once despite being two binds
Maybe beast also activates in-between, but that'd require mods
this is the reason why warding bind is impossible with injector band, because it turns it into 4 + mirrors
I think there's one on vortex that gives beast more slots
Can't decide what build to take into dlc
You have most of 2026 to think about it(probably)you'll be fine
i kinda don't think it'll be most
sawtooth
not to get too high on hopium
but like
we know it's built on cut content and also tc said they had other plans for this year
even if you dont sawtooth spam like other crests, its still just nice
to float as youre landing for example
and it unconditionally buffs every wavedash turnaround
So I'm doing speedrun for my last achievement
And idk if I should keep brick walling high-halls gauntlet w/o faydown or just take a stroll over to slab
I'm leaning more towards just getting faydown
did you get 2 extra masks and gleaming needle?
Are any of the act 2 crests before Lace 2? I'm not too keen on looking up or asking for the actual locations of stuff but I feel like this is a vague alternative
I have nail 2 and 1 extra mask
Which crests you got already?
Reaper and beast
that and wanderer with iband was enough for me and my time was just over 3 hours
I know there's one more in act 1, dunno where
Try checking out bonebottom
My crest isn't the problem honestly
In bone bottom? Really??
It's those two fuckers at the end
There's 2 other act 2 crests iirc. Witch and architect.
Well idk just go find it yourself
yeah they can be rough
i got cogflies and just saved them for the end and used them to burst down one of them
Are either of them before lace 2? I'm assuming architect is based off the name
Both can be gotten before
Oh goated, time to explore
Tried that. i was thinking I'd slide under one of them while they did a leap. Then they did the floor-wide attack + normal swing and I got cooked by contact damage afterwards
Life is pain
Imagine if after entering a new act you couldn't go back, so if you missed something you just can't get it
I think I'm a couple minutes over 3 rn, but this should be the only challenging part
L2 and GMS are pretty free
Wanderer is either wormways key route or wall jump
bwb i assume you have fully upgraded needle for ll right
there are 2 bosses only available in act 2
That would just break the world
"Imagine if team cherry sucked at game design"

TC thought about this so stuff just appears in a different location after the npcs that held them before die like lumble and the tacks guys
Grindle finds all
I need to do a run where I just don't free him
I literally just beat the high halls gauntlet for the first time. I didn't even use cogflies I just spammed the shard mines at the end basically which let me pogo without too much issue
Im pretty sure he can get out either way freeing him is optional
Lame. thought I could deepnest zote his ass
Yeah. I'm just a bit underprepared since I want to keep time down
I literally haven't stepped foot in sinners road
Oooh, yeah I took my sweet time so my advice prolly won't be of much use lol
Nah it's fine
I literally did all of my run today so I can take a break
After this I'm never doing blasted steps route again
No me gusta
If anyone makes a reskin mod where Hornet becomes the Unraveled they should rename needolin to contrabassiphon
so that it's a pun with contrabasson and silk siphon rather than needle and violin
Oh btw is needle only L2 a good idea? I'm not necessarily doing it on purpose but I find that I have a better time if I play patiently and wait for her counters to hit with needle. Idk if it's gonna take like 5 years to beat like that tho
Yeah, that's usually how I fight her anyways
I always thought it was needle and mandolin
Oh it could be mandolin
I had no idea that was a name of an instrument ngl
But it fits better i suppose, violins aren't played like hornet does it
Since yknow hornet doesnt exactly hold it like a violin and she doesnt hold it like a mandolin either but tbf shes short
I only know it's an instrument because of Brooklyn nine-nine
yeah and she strums the strings on it rather than using a bow
What if changing your crest also changed the way the needolin was played
Probs just cuz it sounds better than needleharp
I can't wait for someone to start modding in the crest specific hornet outfit mods
They all look so good
i wish every crest got a custom garama
Real real real
I've seen fanart of stuff like that it's so cool
Valid
i can imagine witch garama to sound like a snake and have likje the tentacles come out or smth
wanderer garama can be like praying, shaman garama can be like chanting a spell/curse
I'm kind of surprised reaper doesn't have its own bind animation
Given how it's gimmick relies on binding
yeah
Do most crests not?
Only 3
Huh, interesting
I'm kind of surprised that I've not heard what other crests do, only the ones I have
Actually 4
Shaman doesnt really rely on binds
Architect crafting
oh true
Now does it rely on it? Kinda sorta. It's more integral than other crests
Also just depends on if you wanna consider it a bind
They nerfed shaman binding just cuz having 3 silk skills and being able to heal mid air was probably too op π
They need to have the enemy steamroll you
Nerf shaman by making hornet take one extra mask in damage
"Oh you wanna play hollow knight, huh? Heal on the ground then"
Multibind will solve that
Barbed bracelet giving you a solid 6 damage for getting hit by a double damage attack
I like how direct last judge's ost is
Multi hit would 12 I guess
no sad parts no strings nothing
Straight up throwing hands
I've not heard of euther of those items
Guys best boss fight in act 1-2?
Not 12 wait
First sinner
Zote
act 1-2 weaver queen ending or in general
I love glants
I think I've not seen like a lot of the tools I could have, based on what I've heard
Oh btw is L2 the entrance to act 3 or is there more to act 2
Tools taking up a smooth 57% of completion just cause they can
L2 is not the entrance to act 3
Okie doke
lace 2
no its before the entrance
silksong news is silksong
first sinner isnt as good as the others i mentioned imo but only barely
its still very much up there
first sinner is the only one thats still fun with a 100% build tbh
which is why i mentioned it
the rest are fun as youre going through the game for the first time but the combat truly opens up around endgame so yoyu cant actually enjoy them with the funnest version of the combat system
Hi
1st sinner was really fun for me
I think first sinner stands out for me because it was one of the only bosses that I was excited to keep losing to
I just wanted more and more of it, especially coming off of the heels of groal
the nonexistent runback also definitely helps in making the fight more fun
Also its a memory fight so no cocoon or wasting tools if you lose
And the widow theme just being really good
Her sound design is also very impactful and feels nice in my headphones
Guys Sea of Sorrow spoiler: Zote becomes a God
He already is
Oh yea
I forgot
The Invincible Fearless Sensual Mysterious Enchanting Vigorous Diligent Overwhelming Gorgeous Passionate Terrifying Beautiful Powerful Grey Prince Zote
he becomes more god
He defats the ShadeLord π
He is peak god tho
All of zote's adjectives will stay on the screen for the entire fight
In the middle of the fight you will be asked to fill in the blanks for the 57 precepts
Zote becomes the most godlike being in all universes
trobbiooo's 3rd phase is killing me in game and irl
the part where his jet things come from the floor
ig but the floor explodes when i knock him out thrice so im calling it 3rd phase
hi

I think lost lace best
seth π©·
I have died like 10 times already to trobbio but I don't at all feel angry or sad that I lost
Meanwhile savage beastfly v2 had me pulling my hair out by the 5th attempt
Would you say after playing and beating most of silksong, am I ready for hollow knight?
obviously not you need to play the entirety of oneshot and deltarune first
Yea
I hate Bilewater and groal the great*
It's yes
Yes you absolutely can
You also see some aswell
I haven't even gone through sinners road yet. Puttng it off until I get clawline and double jump and then I'll run through hell
Btw I looked up a guide on how to get the clawline and it said there's a key in songclave and I saw nothing. What am I missing?
Its very far right
do you have a merchant called jubilana
Not to be confused with the poltical position
I haven't accepted that quest
Just like Bellhart
Yo guys I was doing a 100% in under 30 hours speedrun and I accidentally beat karmelita 1st try what do u think about that chat
nicely done
lol
Haha
May I also seek some approval
Got any more pixels?
Found a clearer one
Oh nice I didn't expect you to actually get more pixels 
Also is getting harpoon even possible before widow
It's modded
With skips maybe idk
Theoretically slab > fay > double jump > wisp > act 2 works
This is my modded clawline damage only challenge save
It's 2k recording but discord needs nitro to post good footage
clawline at widow... interesting
I also did moorwing, lace 1 and ant gauntlet lmao
they aint giving bellharts glory quest
is this godhome or some other mod?
But the hunters march one was with shakra
It was the one that lets you start with all skills, but I used config and selected only clawline, so I have clawline at the start
ah
I realised you can't regain silk and thus can't heal more than once without druid's eye/reserve bind/eva
Theoretically I can fill up with druid and then use cocoon for 2 heals but it's very easy to blunder and the setup is long
i kinda dont wanna enter act 3 cuz everything would just be destroyed
Relatable
Has anybody made the connection elder hus tribe is shakras
In the game its stated elder hu is an immigrant
yes a lot
has anyone made the connection that seth comes from shakras tribe too
What
Guys i have something to confess
round golden object with the same yellow explosion and teleports
I think that watcher at the edge is harder than lost lace
seth lost his memories, thereβs no reason why he couldnβtve been from shakras tribe
Did they tell Seth about shakra when he was drawing it
still has the explosion though
Not sure if that would make much sense in the lore, if he would then how is he completely disconnected from the tribe and is instead guarding a flower god
OG Seth has a penny for a shield
Bro's already been redesigned
Seth was drawn like in 2020 by a kid
Anything is possible
why is there just a random unknown master of combat and throwing yellow objects
well shakras disconnected from her tribe too, same for elder hu
seth specifically lost his memories which is a mystery
but that doesnβt deny the theory
Is someone getting springlocked
Not entirely for shakra, sheβs literally searching for her master in the entirety of act 1 (unless sharpdart mt fay) and most of act 2
Did he loose his combat skill?
With the amnesia
and whereβs her connection with the rest of her tribe
nope muscle memory!
Debatable, heβs still epic gamer
he lost his memories but still knew how to walk and talk, itβs not out of the window to say he still remembers his tribes fighting style
Seth didnt loose his memory before the fight
teleporting + throwing round yellow objects + making cool yellow explosions
Its after
hornet gonked seth so hard on the head he got amnesia
Got any more pixels?
well even if he didnβt heβs still a pro gamer enough that he can get 67 on flea bounce
can we admit lace was part of the 5 great knights
sheβs literally known as the white knight
goodnight friends
@graceful oyster do you know where the core plays
flashbacks + bay?
: )
Cool
well done :3
If this turns out to be true....mmnmbkbnbh k
are the maskmakers in both games purely for lore
silksong dead?
6 minutes of pure silence
Do you know who else was known as the White Knight?
Ghost
Lace is Ghost confirmed
just beaten The Unravelled in a few tries as a refresher on a practice save for my steelsoul run, and i agree with the weird hitbox
anyways brb imma go to my local drug dealer (plasmium almost empty)
no everyone just uses the hk chat
yeah true
πββοΈ
I think my save is approaching 80 hours rn
YA'LL
YA'LL
