[wheat mango]

Wait has it ever been clarified if Garmond’s wearing a hat or not

[earnest drift]

iselda would've fit in so much in silksong

[spark anchor]

I think it is a hat yeah

[earnest drift]

strong woman = silksong character

[wheat mango]

Ah ok

[spark anchor]

Like what a knight would wear

Does lugoli have a chopped ass haircut or do they wear a hood like other roachkeepers

[earnest drift]

lugoli is a waste of food, i'm glad they chopped them up and ate them in the end

all that fat was going to waste

[wheat mango]

I like to think Garmond is a mite

[somber ledge]

I am going to log onto silksong soon and go back to trying to find bosses

I feel so bad for what I did. Pavo looks so sad. I wish he died in the chaos so I wouldn't have to look at his expression and feel guilt

[lean yoke]

I manage

I'm so excited for act 3, all the good platforming sections are there, mt. Fay was mid as fuck

[spark anchor]

What even happens to the pondcatcher npc

He just disappears in act 3 without a trace

[wheat mango]

Mainly because that’d make Zaza a beetle (specifically a carrion or dung beetle but I’ll say carrion) and irl mites have a symbiotic relationship with carrion beetles, often relying on them for transport for food (they eat maggots that’d eat the beetle’s young in return)

[spark anchor]

Dude’s just forgotten

[wheat mango]

Oh yeah

Reed

[somber ledge]

Eira's babies should have names.

[lean yoke]

I'm gonna love silksong path of pain

[wheat mango]

Reason I’m talking about Garmond a lot: he reminds me of my grandpa and it’s how I cope

[wheat mango]

For me that was just the Sands of Karak and the Cogwork Core

[scarlet karma]

peakk

[lean yoke]

Cogwork core was ehh

But I am looking forward to karak

[scarlet karma]

karak is meh

[wheat mango]

Real that’s one of my favorite boss fights

Top 5 all time

[scarlet karma]

border caves was challenging ig

[somber ledge]

Why do so many people like Phantom. You just find them, go through a mid af fight and they die and it's over. I don't even remember them having any dialogue

[wheat mango]

I have dogwater reaction
timing

[scarlet karma]

but thas it

[spark anchor]

I just like them

[lean yoke]

Like it wasn't boring, I made it interesting to do it without taking those little ring things but still

[scarlet karma]

ascendants grip

[scarlet karma]

lore + design

[somber ledge]

Question though, are lace and phantom related somehow? I needolined a thing and it showed a faint image of lace talking to phantom in a container I think

[scarlet karma]

also u get cross stitch

[lean yoke]

I want a more challenging platforming sections >:]

[wheat mango]

It’s the presentation AND the way the boss fight ends it’s legit something that doesn’t happen with other bosses

[scarlet karma]

siblings

[spark anchor]

The fight, their voice, even possibility of a bigger backstory than just being lace’s sibling

[scarlet karma]

phantom is the old discarded and lace is "the favourite child"

[wheat mango]

Even with that I’m still not great (I have gotten better but still)

[scarlet karma]

u got this

[spark anchor]

The forgotten one like broken vessel…

[wheat mango]

I’m doing my best and I’ve gotten this far so I’ll take it

[scarlet karma]

broken vessel ptsd

[lean yoke]

I hope we get silksong Pop before silksong godhome, I'm so ass at combat I wouldn't be able to cope

[cold trellis]

Right now, all Phantom really has is just being Lace sibling

[earnest drift]

why couldn't we save both of them

[cold trellis]

And die

[wheat mango]

Like

Drink?

[spark anchor]

Discarded, left to rot in a crevice no one would dare find for a long time

[somber ledge]

Lace is the favorite? I thought her mom disliked her, or like, diregarded her in favor of the weavers or whatever

[earnest drift]

hornet is no better than gms, she saves the favourite and kills the discarded

[wheat mango]

Also phantom of the opera

[spark anchor]

Atleast phantom wasn’t haunted

[somber ledge]

I don't know, I do not pay attention to lore

[void moat]

chat?

[scarlet karma]

bcuz hornet likes lace the best

[cold trellis]

Quite the opposite

[lean yoke]

Path of pain

[somber ledge]

oh

[scarlet karma]

hes everywhere i swear

[wheat mango]

ohhhhh

[earnest drift]

lace was the favourite but gms decided taking in weaver descendants was more efficient than waiting for lace to wake her up

[spark anchor]

How it feels to Lie

[rocky lotus]

Is this the sea of sorrow voice cast

[void moat]

that's the cast for toy story 5

[somber ledge]

Oh

[earnest drift]

so gms still loved lace as a child but decided she was useless at her job

[scarlet karma]

i know 😔

[wheat mango]

I cannot put into words how much I LOVE Phantom’s theme and introduction

[void moat]

https://letterboxd.com/film/toy-story-5/ im not, hover over his name

[scarlet karma]

yessir

[somber ledge]

That's what I get for not paying attention to dialogue, now I sound stupid

[void moat]

she's pretty cool but she's a victim of doing nothing and then dying

[burnt pagoda]

i fought them as my entrance to act 2 so i loved their fight a lot

[somber ledge]

Real

[wheat mango]

Like it is ONLY seconded by Widow’s and that’s because she might be my favorite boss fight so far

[cobalt pilot]

???

[earnest drift]

polluting bilewater is based though

[somber ledge]

Karak discusser, discuss karak please. I want to hear

[burnt pagoda]

widow and phantom are such good fights

[spark anchor]

Oh my god bruh

[wheat mango]

Also Phantom is referred to by they/them (not trying to be obnoxious)

[somber ledge]

Widow was actually prett fun. Tough though as a beginner

[scarlet karma]

yuh but headcanons

[cold trellis]

Pronoun discourse incoming 😭

[spark anchor]

Widow on subsequent playthroughs is a fun boss

[burnt pagoda]

they’re fun

[spark anchor]

I think she’s a really good test to see if you’re ready for the upcoming final boss of act 1 whether it be last judge or phantom

[wheat mango]

For me it’s her ost

[lean yoke]

Oh my god I hate trobbio so much why is this ho required

[cold trellis]

Imagine Toby just dropped some Gaster lore here, shit gonna be generational

[scarlet karma]

TROBBIOOOOOO

tormented or reg?

[void moat]

this is a pretty common discourse so i wont post more than like 1-2 messages but journal entries arent a very good judge for pronouns, multiple gendered characters use they/them in their journal entries, phantom is also referred to as sister by lace and gms is known for only making daughters

[wheat mango]

Her OST legit had me in a chokehold and it still does

[somber ledge]

Last Judge is eons better than Phantom. I just fought the latter recently and they just pissed me off. They are so grey and boring they just pissed me off

[scarlet karma]

their*

[spark anchor]

Hits you harder when you fight THE SINNER

[lean yoke]

Reg, I did say required no? Wait is tormented required too 🧍‍♂️

[spark anchor]

This is about widow

[wheat mango]

Ah

I’ll just chock it up to she/they then so I can (hopefully) avoid any consequences

[cloud geode]

guys whats the requirements for pic perms in this channel

[scarlet karma]

oh mb

[arctic epoch]

[wheat mango]

REAL

I felt like that ascending SpongeBob meme when I first tried to fight her and I heard Widow’s theme playing

[burnt pagoda]

TRRROBIOOOOOOOO

[cloud geode]

alr thanks

[somber ledge]

Tormented Trobbio is not required, is he?

[burnt pagoda]

he shouldnt be?

[spark anchor]

I will use He and They pronouns for groal because he seems like that

[wheat mango]

Trobbio’s voice has become a vocal stim for months for me atp

[void moat]

karak's lore is second to none, most if not every boss in there is great, and it's one of the most well designed areas in the game

[scarlet karma]

no

[spark anchor]

He only drops a claw mirror upgrade, not even needed for completion

[scarlet karma]

hes optional

[burnt pagoda]

i fucking love sands of karak!

[somber ledge]

Karak is a boss? I thought your name was a Sands of Karak upgrade

Oh wait never mind

[cold trellis]

Tbh, while GMS only known for making daughter, Phantom is like the discarded or failed result, being they/them might actually add more to their character (if you know what I mean) lmao
Also phantom is He in some language so uhhh, he/she/they gang

[scarlet karma]

no its an area

[wheat mango]

Coral utopia reduced to desert after water stops flowing

[somber ledge]

Its an eira

I read wrong.

[terse fiber]

lace calls her a sister

[scarlet karma]

minro typo 😔

[rocky lotus]

Translations arent a good source tbf

[scarlet karma]

is it not sibling?

[somber ledge]

This proves that being blind is not a condition, it is a lifestyle. I am wearing my glasses and I still can't fucking see.

[rocky lotus]

The prince lovers are referred to as brothers in some translations iirc

[cold trellis]

It sister
But some attempted to argue that we don’t know who speaking

[somber ledge]

I will have yarnaby to surgery on my eyes and make them better

[scarlet karma]

glasses people can relate

[wheat mango]

Hhhhhh

[arctic epoch]

isn't it just more evident of a condition?

[void moat]

???

[wheat mango]

Not gonna say it

[wheat mango]

Ai overview is so shit man

[cursive torrent]

put the -ai in the bag

[somber ledge]

No, Tom. It is not.

[arctic epoch]

[scarlet karma]

this is what ram is used for bro 😔

[somber ledge]

Pale king

[terse fiber]

if you use needolin in a tube spot in exhaust organ then you will see lace talking to phantom and calling her sister

[somber ledge]

I know that character

[void moat]

except it's pretty explicitly stated that theyre not, and shitty translations were common in early silksong anyways

[scarlet karma]

aight

[wheat mango]

Steam deck really went and died for this

[burnt pagoda]

EVIL hornet 😈😈😈

[scarlet karma]

emo hornet

[void moat]

two princes born on exact beat, apart or some shit

[somber ledge]

I am going to go needolin the place and see 😮

[spark anchor]

Dark hornet

What if hornet was dipped in black tar

[scarlet karma]

arent they in love

[rocky lotus]

Oh ok

[spark anchor]

And she screamed loud as fuuuuck

[rocky lotus]

Mb

[spark anchor]

They’re gay

[scarlet karma]

oh i remeber, two peopkle born on the same beat are entertwined for life or smth

[scarlet karma]

sm transaltos say brother tho

[wheat mango]

I’m more thinking of something that’s p obvious but idk if I can say it in the server

[somber ledge]

Act 3 has been so terrifying. I am mostly scared of karmelita

[wheat mango]

This

[spark anchor]

I think that’s a mistake on the translator’s part

[burnt pagoda]

act 3 my behaloved

[spark anchor]

Karmelita is fun af for sure

[void moat]

yes, im explaining how theyre not related

[scarlet karma]

yessir

[somber ledge]

I hear she's tough

[scarlet karma]

they kinda are but not also

[spark anchor]

Yeah she’s the only elegy boss that’s actually a boss

[terse fiber]

idk I never had a problem with Karmelita's fight

[wheat mango]

I’ve heard so many good things about Karmelita and looking at her statue I’m inclined to believe y’all

[void moat]

"She spun us to fade... She spun us to break... Why us, sister? Why us?"

heres the exhaust organ ndd if anyone wanted it

[kind tide]

Erm, guys?

[burnt pagoda]

i still think she’s the second hardest fight in the series including godhome

[somber ledge]

Tips for karmelita then? I will need it when i find her

[terse fiber]

I did it on 3-5 tries

[void moat]

khann > karmelita

[vagrant merlin]

groal the great is easy boss true/false ?

[spark anchor]

Have fun and practice her well

[kind tide]

Uhhhh, chayt???

[cursive torrent]

no he's p hard, even if you don't consider the runback

[spark anchor]

One of the biggest things to learn about her are punish windows

[rocky lotus]

I agree

[kind tide]

GUYS?

[somber ledge]

I will not have fun but thanks

[cold trellis]

Best fight imo

[wheat mango]

False

Good grief I despise him and that fuckass vault

[scarlet karma]

????

[spark anchor]

You can’t just wildly swing at her since she can block attacks

You’re hitting her after she does

[somber ledge]

Every boss blocks attacks

[spark anchor]

No

[scarlet karma]

karmelita >>> dream boss

[wheat mango]

He better be like genghis then

[vagrant merlin]

i first tried him steel soul, i also first tried coral tower

[scarlet karma]

nah

[spark anchor]

Like she actually puts up a guard to prevent taking damage

[burnt pagoda]

i like all three of the heart bosses even if karmelita is the hardest one by far

[spark anchor]

Not like the forebrothers where they can’t get pogoed or shit like that

[cursive torrent]

you don't have to wait for permission lil vro what

[void moat]

uuuh.. army-wise yeah, his bossfight's pretty easy though

[scarlet karma]

yeah?

[wheat mango]

Ah. Gauntlet haver I’m gonna guess

[burnt pagoda]

though seth > nyleth imo

[void moat]

his lore and aura absolutely sweep karm's though

[spark anchor]

Yeah khann is, or was a tyrant

[void moat]

survive my gauntlets

[scarlet karma]

does the gauntlent even count as the boss fight

[spark anchor]

He commanded an army of hundreds

[burnt pagoda]

Fight my gauntlets

[somber ledge]

Most bosses have a thing where if you hit them, they block and then attack you. Parry. Basically the same thing

[wheat mango]

No Khann (and Groal)

[rocky lotus]

I like his fight more than karms ngl

[somber ledge]

Also, I needolined the exhaust organ place, the dialogue said sister

[void moat]

i would, it's pretty important to his character and memory

[spark anchor]

No she doesn’t have a riposte move like lace

[burnt pagoda]

that is only like
phantom and lace 2

[vagrant merlin]

favourite crest ?

[wheat mango]

I cannot put into words how much I am dreading having to fight that stupid giant water bug

[scarlet karma]

which one

[burnt pagoda]

i dont recall any other boss other than them and karmelita having a parry/block

[spark anchor]

Hunter because i’m a stock chud

[somber ledge]

I swear every boss had a parry move

[arctic epoch]

Wanderer suckass

[rocky lotus]

Seth

[scarlet karma]

W

[wheat mango]

Gonna be honest it depends but I like Witch and Beast

[burnt pagoda]

oh wait true seth

[wheat mango]

Groal

[spark anchor]

Only lace, lace 2, lost lace, phantom and second sentinel have a parry

[burnt pagoda]

but thats where it ends

[scarlet karma]

i recomend wreath of purity

[wheat mango]

He’s the main reason I’m tryna get to act 3

[spark anchor]

Seth doesn’t have a parey he just puts his shield up

[vagrant merlin]

groal is easy once you know what he does

[burnt pagoda]

i keep forgetting about second sentinel because i fought her so late

[vagrant merlin]

i first tried him steel soul

[wheat mango]

I struggle with the gauntlet

[somber ledge]

Nuh uh. I am not going to be gaslight. I swear on my entire life most if not EVERY boss i've fought had a parry

[cold trellis]

Fuckass Lace

[somber ledge]

You're all lying to me

[wheat mango]

Lace’s fight is also pretty good

[spark anchor]

Savage beastfly has a parry yeah

[burnt pagoda]

i like lace 2

[scarlet karma]

second sentitl headcanon is pinstress's creation with the women who gives hornet drifers cloak

[cursive torrent]

most intelligent skong player

[burnt pagoda]

best fight in act 2

[vagrant merlin]

summoned saviour has the best runback

[wheat mango]

Mainly because I found that listening to her theme and just

Watching it it felt like a dance

[rocky lotus]

Only lace and phantom parry

[spark anchor]

And senti!!!!

[somber ledge]

LIAR. YOU LIE, SR. FUNGUS

[wheat mango]

Phantom loves to parry

[cursive torrent]

sent does too

[scarlet karma]

the coocoon helps a lot

[somber ledge]

Every fucking boss I've fought had a parry, do not lie to me

[rocky lotus]

Seth parries? I thought he just blocks

[scarlet karma]

moss mother

[spark anchor]

No

[scarlet karma]

does NOT have one

[wheat mango]

Do you mean just like

Negation

[cursive torrent]

not SETH, SENT. like SENTINEL

[rocky lotus]

Did beastfly have a parry?

[somber ledge]

I don't know what that word means

Referring to negation

[wheat mango]

No but I hated him and got fed up so I took spammed him twice

[burnt pagoda]

maybe you’re just overextending

[rocky lotus]

Mb im illiterate and stupid

[scarlet karma]

makes ur attack useless

[cursive torrent]

happens to the best of us

[scarlet karma]

like voids it

[somber ledge]

EVERYBODY IS TRYING TO CONVINCE ME I AM WRONG. EVERY BOSS I HAVE FOUGHT HAD A PARRY, I KNOW THEY DID

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM

[scarlet karma]

?????

moss mother does not

[rocky lotus]

The beastfly parry was so peak...

[cursive torrent]

open up a fresh file and fight moss mother and show us that she has a parry

[spark anchor]

Parry means you put up a guard (like how phantom lifts their spear up) block the attack and counter with a strike

[scarlet karma]

thats the first

[somber ledge]

I will not allow myself to manipulated

[scarlet karma]

pin*

[wheat mango]

Ok

[vagrant merlin]

i first tried all the bosses in steel soul after memorising their move patterns and getting every useful item before that boss

[spark anchor]

Ok but their longpin is like a spear

[cursive torrent]

ok so give us proof that you're not being gaslighted

[rocky lotus]

You are escaping the matrix

[spark anchor]

So i will also call it that

[burnt pagoda]

dude i was really shocked when groal the great parried my attack and i had to do the runback because he killed me thats so crazy

[rocky lotus]

You have found out the truth of the sacred groal parry

[cursive torrent]

@somber ledge show us this

[scarlet karma]

longpin

[spark anchor]

Yeah groal also knows desolate dive

[vagrant merlin]

why do people complain about last judge runback it’s not that bad

[somber ledge]

I cheesed groal so I wouldn't know if he parries or not

He has vengeful spirit though, that's cool

[rocky lotus]

He does dont worry

[cursive torrent]

@somber ledge address me

[spark anchor]

One driznit, you can still run away from it if you’re fast enough

[wheat mango]

I think that Groal is a diving beetle

[scarlet karma]

js pogo and use cling grip to half i

[somber ledge]

I do not think moss mother has a parry, bro

Or sister splinter

[cursive torrent]

so you are contradicting yourself lmao

[spark anchor]

I’ve seen ‘im teleport on top of me while i was on 2 masks. Scary shit

[somber ledge]

or bell eater

[scarlet karma]

"EVERY" boss

[cursive torrent]

hypocrite looking ass

[burnt pagoda]

groal is…….. great?

[somber ledge]

That's 3 out of a lot, bro

[scarlet karma]

yes

[wheat mango]

People say they’re a frog

That is a diving beetle and I will not be told otherwise

[somber ledge]

Why take me so seriously

I mean every as most, not every as every, gosh

So harsh.

[scarlet karma]

he can use vengful spirit better than hornet

[cursive torrent]

i like toying with ragebaiters

[somber ledge]

I am no ragebaiter. Go talk to lace

[vagrant merlin]

worst tool in skong?

[cursive torrent]

needle phial

[burnt pagoda]

[wheat mango]

I like Bilewater’s lore but GOD I hate navigating it sometimes

Not all the time but sometimes

[scarlet karma]

[wheat mango]

[cursive torrent]

bro that shit is NOT useless take it back

[arctic epoch]

i mean, you should have said most then atp

[burnt pagoda]

yeah im druids eyes

[vagrant merlin]

[scarlet karma]

dash backwards or turn around and dash

[vagrant merlin]

druids eyes is not bad

[wheat mango]

Wait fr

[cold trellis]

Yeah who just said volt filament

[candid kayak]

the problem is you can just turn around generally

[scarlet karma]

druid eyes kinda good lowkey

[open path]

Wispfire Lantern

[somber ledge]

Use common sense bro, obviously moss mother does not have a parry. I am just exaggerating

[scarlet karma]

shell satchel

[somber ledge]

I stand by the fact that most bosses have a parry though, I don't care

[wheat mango]

If I were Groal tbh I’d crash out too if my home was turned into a Floridian septic tank

[cold trellis]

Bad tool but not the worst

[vagrant merlin]

dead bugs purse imo

[candid kayak]

scuttlebrace is marginally faster than turning around and dashing, but it also requires you to use a specific input to use, and it replaces your downdash

[scarlet karma]

oh yeah

[burnt pagoda]

i still dont know how to feel about sawtooth

it IS good but i feel like it makes fights go by way too fast

[somber ledge]

I know this character, it is the black haired guy that is friends with gojo. I am right

[scarlet karma]

but i guess it still has a use unlike someone

[burnt pagoda]

tho i probably wont mind as much when the pantheons come out

[cold trellis]

You’re telling me…when you use a good tool for fighting boss…the boss fight goes by faster?

Yknow one thing i’ve noticed when comparing both hk and sk bosses is that a lot of sk bosses have staggers

[cursive torrent]

no

[spark anchor]

Even the wild beasts

[somber ledge]

I swear on everything trobbio had a parry

[cursive torrent]

nope

[cerulean sable]

an1 smoking that garmond grade pharloom zaza hitting it cloud 9 than act 3 pintress

[somber ledge]

You hit him and then the shing white lught and then tornado

[scarlet karma]

i dont think pinstress has one either

[spark anchor]

I’m pretty sure the only bosses without staggers are father of the flame, zango and voltvyrm

[burnt pagoda]

sk bosses are a lot more. “involved” if that makes sense

[vagrant merlin]

pinstress has one

[cursive torrent]

i forgot about the pinstress fight so that's why i didn't put her on there

[spark anchor]

Does skull tyrant stagger?

[scarlet karma]

does she

?

[spark anchor]

No pinstress just blocks

[burnt pagoda]

yes

[somber ledge]

I feel like I remembered widow having a parry too

[cursive torrent]

no

[somber ledge]

You hit her and then shing white light and then she scratches you

[earnest drift]

do conchflies stagger

[cold trellis]

Ts might be Mandela effect but for some reason I remember pinstrss having parry 😭

[spark anchor]

Oh yeah those dont either

[somber ledge]

I swear on my life, my mom, on god, on my kids they had parries

[cursive torrent]

the only bosses who parry are the laces, phantom, and sentinel

[vagrant merlin]

same

[burnt pagoda]

no im pretty sure they do?

[somber ledge]

LIAR

[cold trellis]

I think raving conchflies do? Idk might be Mandela effect

[spark anchor]

No that’s just a regular attack

[vagrant merlin]

well good bye

[burnt pagoda]

or am i thinking about raging conchfly

[cursive torrent]

rip family i guess

[spark anchor]

Raving Conchflies

[vagrant merlin]

who actually found craw father hard

[cursive torrent]

a simple way to do this would be to watch a youtube video on all silksong bosses :3

[somber ledge]

No

[mental acorn]

does the moorlap mod make the game more replayable

[scarlet karma]

i looked up and no she just blocks the attack although its called a "parry"

[burnt pagoda]

you might be mistaking your own parry for her’s

[cursive torrent]

then i guess family died

[somber ledge]

My kids are still alive, they have parries

[vagrant merlin]

easiest act 3 boss?

[spark anchor]

Pinstress, karmelita and seth have this kind of block p sure

[tulip spire]

The more I try witch crest the more I think the people are good at it in spite of how it works rather than because of how it works

[burnt pagoda]

same thing for every boss that isnt phantom, lace and second sentinel

[somber ledge]

May zeus strike me down if I am ying. I SWRAT they have parries.

[spark anchor]

Zango if you count him as one

[somber ledge]

Hornet can't parry?? Not without cross stich

[scarlet karma]

i dont see cinna anywhere does druid eyes know where she is?

[somber ledge]

I only got that recently

[tulip spire]

Trying to fight lost lace with witch crest and it’s actually awful

[scarlet karma]

yuh she can block

[spark anchor]

If we don’t consider him as a boss it’d be khann ngl

[somber ledge]

Nuh uh

[burnt pagoda]

cinna is…… trapped in the Void

[cursive torrent]

i mean either way, parries were also extremely limited in hk
only the hornets and HK could parry

[somber ledge]

I have never seen that before

[burnt pagoda]

if you time your attacks right she can parry most attacks

[scarlet karma]

is that a good thing.......?

[somber ledge]

Wait, you're right

OH MY GOD, WERE THE SHINGS MY FUCKING PARRIES?

[burnt pagoda]

yeah lol

[scarlet karma]

loll yess

[cursive torrent]

oh were you talking about clanks

lmao

yeah that happens when you attack a hurtbox

[vagrant merlin]

yes

[somber ledge]

I think what would happen is that I would try to hit, parry, get confused, get hit and then interpret it as a counter attack from them blocking

[burnt pagoda]

idk probably not lol

[cursive torrent]

no

[somber ledge]

Oh, wow.

[burnt pagoda]

probably lost all her rosaries by now. fuckin LOSER

[somber ledge]

Oh.

[cursive torrent]

what was happening was you were hitting a hurtbox as a move was going and it clanked

[scarlet karma]

unrelated note but should i get stray, ive seen the reviews it looks awesome

[cursive torrent]

happens with most blade attacks

[cursive torrent]

extremely good game if you like puzzle walking sims like little nightmares

[somber ledge]

I've been stubborn for this long I feel like I can't admit defeat now

All the bosses had parries, you are all liars.

[cursive torrent]

and her hole grows yet deeper again

[somber ledge]

My therapist told me about you gaslighting monsters

[tulip spire]

I feel like all those witch crest aura farming clips were mostly impressive because there were against a bunch of immobile punching bags

[cursive torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/ss-sk-skong-silk-song-gif-3134327606096542884

[tulip spire]

The second you try it against it something that poses even remotely a challenge to hit it fucking sucks

[earnest drift]

voltvessels and curvesickle vs lost lace

[somber ledge]

Lace (NAR) is back!!!

Welcome back, friend

[earnest drift]

lace

[cursive torrent]

should work alright

[earnest drift]

try it

[cursive torrent]

bolas or vessels

[earnest drift]

either

[cursive torrent]

eh why not i have my hundo save open

what crest

[earnest drift]

hunter

[cursive torrent]

anything else

[somber ledge]

Guys, how hard is lost lace?

[scarlet karma]

shaman 🥺

[tulip spire]

I can beat ll with hunter and wanderer rather easily. I’m still working on beast but can get to phase 4 with it now. Not yet consistently. Witch I legit can’t get past phase 2 lol

[cursive torrent]

hardest in the game

[somber ledge]

I am nervous for when I reach her fight.

[scarlet karma]

eh not really its jsut lace 3.0

[earnest drift]

nah just try using curvesickle and voltvessels against lost lace and tell me how it goes

[somber ledge]

Oh, no.

[scarlet karma]

no needle?

[burnt pagoda]

witch sucks for lost lace specifically but ive never had trouble with witch on every other boss

[somber ledge]

Wait, is BUP4T trying to trick me. Trying to ragebait me in return for when I unintentionally ragebaited him?

[earnest drift]

needle is allowed obv but i want those red tools to be tested against her

[burnt pagoda]

ive beaten ll with every crest though

[scarlet karma]

how would voltvessels be viable since she moves so fast, does void conduct

[tulip spire]

Depends on your build. She’s a positioning boss and very fast so you need to focus on speed

[earnest drift]

void does not conduct

[somber ledge]

Very fast. Oh no

[scarlet karma]

alr

[somber ledge]

My brain is slow 🙁

[tulip spire]

If you bring reaper you’re going to get your ass beat

[burnt pagoda]

hunter i think is best for that fight

[cursive torrent]

is pollip good for bolas i forgor

[scarlet karma]

lokwey my build was curvsickles and plasmuim

[somber ledge]

Hunter is the best for every fight

[earnest drift]

absolutely not

[somber ledge]

Hunter is the best crest

[earnest drift]

did curvesickles work okay on lost lace

[burnt pagoda]

the beast crest in question (if you know how to use it):

[tulip spire]

Hunter is the best for not getting hit by her follow up attacks yeah. Wanderer is good for just ending the fight faster

[somber ledge]

Beast crest sucks

I don't remember using it but I bet it sucks

[cursive torrent]

wish me luck chat i haven't done ll in a monthish

[burnt pagoda]

goodluck soldier

[scarlet karma]

it was actually pretty good since she moves around alot

[tulip spire]

Beast is good but also isn’t good for fast targets

[distant topaz]

That's a very controversial opinion, especially since you don't even remember using it in the first place.

[earnest drift]

gl

[scarlet karma]

best in phase 4

[earnest drift]

doesn't that make them worse?

[somber ledge]

I remember not liking it. That is enough

[earnest drift]

when i tried it i only ever hit her once or twice with one curvesickle

sometimes it worked properly when she stood still in the air

[tulip spire]

Beast is fun but anyone who thinks it’s the best is fucking high

[earnest drift]

or coincidentally moves with the curvesickle

[scarlet karma]

she jumps around which makes i easier ig

[cursive torrent]

bro i died nearly immediately lmao

[scarlet karma]

coincdenace helps lol

[burnt pagoda]

using injector band i feel helps beast out a lot in faster fights, as long as you time your binds properly its extremely strong for almost every boss

[scarlet karma]

that sacrifices ur only blue tho

[cursive torrent]

yeah actually this kinda sucks but its ok

[tulip spire]

Honestly I’m still trying to beat ll with it and it’s a crapshoot

[earnest drift]

both voltvessels and curvesickle?

[tulip spire]

I either tear through her first phase or she rocks my shit

[burnt pagoda]

it doesnt really need any other blues unless u wanna use like. sawtooth or some shit

[distant topaz]

Still controversial, it's genuinely a good crest if you know how to use it and which tools work best with it.
With tools like Injector Band and Magnetite Dice (I think that's the name), the Bind can be a lot more powerful to use and in turn speed up bossfights and kill enemies with ease.

[tulip spire]

Really depends on how much she aerials

[scarlet karma]

sawtooth increases dps exponentially

[earnest drift]

exponentially??

[tulip spire]

You don’t need dps for beast lol

[somber ledge]

Maybe I will try it then. Your tone is very professional and I feel the need to match that attitude. I will give it a genuine attempt.

[earnest drift]

with what

[burnt pagoda]

other crests are prob better if you want to use sawtooth then

but beast is still plenty strong without it

[scarlet karma]

mb not exponetially greatly

synyoms i swear

[distant topaz]

But, then again, I haven't played this game in a while, so take this with a grain of salt.

[tulip spire]

Also beast is dogshit in the air

[distant topaz]

It's been a couple months... Like, 4, 6 ish....

[cursive torrent]

bolas are pretty nice in this fight actually

[tulip spire]

You’re not using sawtooth that much with it

[scarlet karma]

better than injector band no?

[earnest drift]

are you hitting her with them every time

[distant topaz]

I should really get into the game again...

[cursive torrent]

no but they cover good space

[somber ledge]

I don't want to fight lost lace. Hornet should just slap lace and say 'That's for beating me up' and then kiss her and say 'and that's for saving me from grand mother silk' and then they all go to bellhart for a party and shakra is in the corner trying to act casual but it bopping her head

[cursive torrent]

obviously not amazing but better than nothing

[scarlet karma]

https://tenor.com/view/joe-biden-what-gif-3784745843284049350

[burnt pagoda]

i cant agree when it has iframes Like This

[somber ledge]

And then they all hug each other and say 'Together, we are silksong"

[burnt pagoda]

genuinely the pogo iframes on beast go fucking crazy why does no one talk about it

[earnest drift]

doesn't beast pogo work like a shorter clawline

[scarlet karma]

cuz no one plays beast for parkour 😔

[somber ledge]

And then hornet says 'Lace, you go left, Shakra, you go right, and sherma.. just be sherma."

[earnest drift]

kratt is in hell

[remote swift]

I've either done something cool, this part is intentionally tricky, or I'm just bad. But when are you meant to get sharp dash

[scarlet karma]

vog is the bouncer

[somber ledge]

And then the when grand mother silk comes sherma gulps and says 'Guys, I think we have company"

[distant topaz]

THE BEST BOSSES ARE SECOND SENTINEL, SHRINE GUARDIAN SETH, AND SKARRSINGER KARMELITA, NOBODY CAN CHANGE MY MIND.

[scarlet karma]

u can get it act 2 ish

act 1 with beast skip

[burnt pagoda]

seth 🩷

[remote swift]

beast skip?

[scarlet karma]

seth 💜

[remote swift]

I haven't done that clearly

[distant topaz]

it's kinda weird how all those bosses start with an s...

[scarlet karma]

using beast bind and pogo

[tulip spire]

On beast? Fuck no

[somber ledge]

Honestly the writing team should just hire me

[remote swift]

With the grapple, right?

[tulip spire]

The windup is so long

[scarlet karma]

js use frac mask atp for an extra mask

[trim estuary]

I thiiiink you mean Crawfather

[scarlet karma]

clawline yes

[scarlet karma]

crawmother when

[remote swift]

Yeah alr figures, I hath not done something particularly impressive, but am proud of myself for completing it nonetheless

[cursive torrent]

@earnest drift nearly got it third try, but i was kinda cheating with volt pale nails, did you want me to do primarily the tools?

[somber ledge]

Is silk soar actually ever required past the abyss section or is it just for convienience? I am am silksoaring everywhere and nothing is happening

[earnest drift]

yeah i wanted to know how good they are

[distant topaz]

Don't get me wrong, Crawfather is an AMAZING boss.
It's a boss mostly composed of ads and very easy attacks, which honestly sounds really bad on paper, but it's execution is GREAT.
However, I just find bosses that have fun and tricky-to-dodge attacks more enjoyable in general.

[earnest drift]

for lost lace

[cursive torrent]

yeah bolas are unironically p alright

curvesickle is ass tho you're right

[distant topaz]

And all those bosses that I listed, meet my standards quite well.

[cursive torrent]

god grinding steel hundo made me forget how powerful hornet gets in endgame

[distant topaz]

ehh
not really
it does good dps in crowds

[cursive torrent]

for lost lace

[distant topaz]

oh yeah it sucks for lost lace

[cursive torrent]

i fucking LOVE boomerang

[earnest drift]

damn I thought it was the other way round for ll

[distant topaz]

No suprise, considering that Lost Lace is a single entity.

[remote swift]

Yo, does this SK version of a lifeblood bulb do anything?

[cursive torrent]

boomerang and bomb are my favorite reds

[cursive torrent]

yes it still functions properly

[distant topaz]

Basically, they work the same.
However, there is a certain mechanic that can do something very cool....

[earnest drift]

Ty for trying it out for me

[trim estuary]

Based

[cursive torrent]

np :3

[distant topaz]

i'm not telling you of course because I don't wanna spoil

[remote swift]

The one in wormways? It doesn't seem to do anything

[cursive torrent]

oh the tiny ones?

[remote swift]

Is there multiple, I'm assuming so

[cursive torrent]

you need to do something else

[remote swift]

Yeah it is kinda small

[trim estuary]

oh yeah those don’t work (yet)

[cursive torrent]

explore wormways, you'll find someone there who's interested in them

[distant topaz]

Oh, you mean the blob things?
You need to... Do something with them for something...

[remote swift]

Oh the guy up top?

[cursive torrent]

yeah

talk to him twice

[distant topaz]

Yeah, the weird scientist guy. Talk to him, he might give you something!

[remote swift]

Oh he just gave me a quest, goated

[distant topaz]

ye

[tulip spire]

Honestly you don’t really need tools for ll but honestly being boring and throwing a bunch of tacks after the second wave attack and luring her over is really more than enough

[cursive torrent]

lmao

[distant topaz]

anyways I'm going to sk help bye

[earnest drift]

I wish she had more hp

[tulip spire]

Who would win: the avatar of the void or one pointy boi

[cursive torrent]

btw why did you want the info?

[earnest drift]

I feel like none of the bosses have enough hp for me to do everything I want to do

[remote swift]

there's an sk help channel?

[cursive torrent]

one channel down

[tulip spire]

Honestly ll has enough imo

[cursive torrent]

#sk-help

[tulip spire]

If any of the phases went on too long she’d really overstay her welcome

[earnest drift]

because voltvessels and curvesickle are usually considered the most brokenly overpowered red tools, so I wanted to know if they still held up against the final boss

[remote swift]

I hate discord, it has the "show all channels" setting off by default

[cursive torrent]

lmao

[tulip spire]

I don’t use tools when I fight ll though

[cursive torrent]

?

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-purple-hollow-purple-hollow-knight-hornet-gif-7738007478703433910

[remote swift]

I would have been in sk help this whole time instead of bothering discussion with all my questions lol

[trim estuary]

purple cogfly was NEVER good.

[earnest drift]

I tried it out myself and they sucked pretty bad, I wanted a second opinion

conchcutter is the third broken red tool, but it’s still good for lost lace

not as good as for big hitbox bosses though

[tulip spire]

Curvesickle is good specifically against Groal lol

[cursive torrent]

yeah

big bodies

[brave gale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSU0zChLids

join chat

[tulip spire]

You know what else is good against Groal? Like everything lol

[earnest drift]

also I started reluctantly using cogflies because they complement snitch pick nicely

[cursive torrent]

yes!

[earnest drift]

I love snitch pick but clawline isn’t that useful if you have ranged red tools

[cursive torrent]

ok lace your testing made me run out of almost all of my shell shard stach in my hundo lmao

[tulip spire]

If it weren’t for Groal’s runback I feel like people wouldn’t remember him as being hard

[trim estuary]

No

[earnest drift]

sorry lol

do you have enough rosaries to buy more

[cursive torrent]

yeah but it's just like

[distant topaz]

yo sup

[cursive torrent]

my hundo file is just ll grinding now

[brave gale]

u know u labeled urslef ragebaiter

[trim estuary]

I fought Groal second day after launch and didn’t know about the second bench in Bilewater. It was Unpleasant

[distant topaz]

there was no one in either help things so i'm just here ig

[trim estuary]

Looks can be deceiving

[earnest drift]

what does Hundo mean

[distant topaz]

Guys, can we swear?

[cursive torrent]

100%

[earnest drift]

can confirm

[trim estuary]

No

[cursive torrent]

fuck yeah

[distant topaz]

Oh, okay.

[tulip spire]

I beat him in like two tries I think so I didn’t get the full bilewater experience™️

[distant topaz]

he just did tho....

i'm asking just in case if I get banned for it or not

[cursive torrent]

no you're chill

only thing you'd get banned for is hate

[tulip spire]

The boss that gave me the most trouble was Karmelita first run

[cursive torrent]

yeah

[distant topaz]

welp...
no more hating on groal I guess...

[tulip spire]

Oh and pinstress.

[vestal flicker]

I didn't hear about bilewater until 5 days after release, the new hk players were absolutely raging over it and quit due to it

[distant topaz]

Pretty sure everyone had that experience.

[cursive torrent]

no like hate speech
hating against certain groups

[tulip spire]

Pinstress still sucks

[distant topaz]

yeah ik, did that for the joke

[cursive torrent]

true

[tulip spire]

Though not because she’s hard she’s just annoying

[distant topaz]

i'm so hilarious, I know.

[cursive torrent]

top 3 isn't hard ok

[tulip spire]

Winged nosk 2.0

[distant topaz]

you guys are supposed to be- laughing

[cursive torrent]

wait pinstress i thought we were still talking about karm

[tulip spire]

Pinstress

[cursive torrent]

pinstress sucks

[distant topaz]

pinstress sucks

[tulip spire]

Karm is exploitable but only if you know the trick

[cursive torrent]

the trick is boring tho

[tulip spire]

Who is the third other than ll and Karm?

[distant topaz]

uhhhh

[cursive torrent]

in fact the entirety of my switch 2 is just a ll grinding device until tomodachi comes out

[distant topaz]

hmm... Good question

[cursive torrent]

sinner

[tulip spire]

Lmao

[distant topaz]

yeah sinner is pretty difficult

[tulip spire]

Sinner has never once killed me

[cursive torrent]

pro

also like

seth is top 5

[distant topaz]

I died to it like 50

hundred times.

[tulip spire]

In fact she’s the only boss who has never killed me

[cursive torrent]

thank god seth has a short runback or else he would've been true pain

[distant topaz]

can't say the same for groal...

[tulip spire]

Seth is a good pick I think just because he’s hard to read

[distant topaz]

i mean what the hell is that boss ngl.

[cursive torrent]

he has 79 different attacks

and some do double

[tulip spire]

Widow is also reasonably hard for the point in the game you have to fight her in

[distant topaz]

I actually didn't find Seth that difficult.

[cursive torrent]

lmao

lol even

[tulip spire]

Seth only took me two tries I think

[cursive torrent]

for a fp maybe

i first try her all the time now

[distant topaz]

took me about 11ish, maybe 15

or not even that like 5 or 7

[tulip spire]

Most tries was like launch version sister splinter I think lmao

[cursive torrent]

everyone liked that

[tulip spire]

For me

That had to be like 25

She was so aids

[sharp slate]

i dont know why but seth gave me trouble for some reason, weird boss for me to get stuck on

[cursive torrent]

the optional progression boss ok

[vestal flicker]

Harder than first sinner I would say.

[cursive torrent]

actually wait torm trob is also top 5 but he cheats because purple on purple

[tulip spire]

I mean she’s optional but this was before we knew about garama skip

[distant topaz]

Ehh?
He's fine, I did that in like 3-6 tries

[tulip spire]

Her shitty little adds did 2 dmg and she summoned them way more often pre patch

Ttrobbio is basically an rng boss fight I think

[cursive torrent]

right i forgot splinterwings did 1+1

[tulip spire]

He’s either easy or he sucks

[distant topaz]

Trobbio (Normal Form) on the other hand was surprisingly difficult...

[cursive torrent]

sure?

[vestal flicker]

silksong promotes aggression, Seth punishes it sort of so it really isn't a surprise, most people I know struggled on Seth because they got too use to spam attacking

[cursive torrent]

idk trob is just kinda kard in general

[tulip spire]

Regular trobbio is pretty easy imo

[cursive torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-trobbio-dust-smiling-friends-gif-556265872279670689

[tulip spire]

Tormented trobbio is like “hey there’s a 1/3 chance he’s just gonna be offscreen for 80% of the fight good luck soldier”

[distant topaz]

I could not sightread his attacks for the LIFE of me.
i think that's why it was so hard

[cursive torrent]

god i need godhome in skong more than ever

get sea of sorrow done sure but like

[tulip spire]

That’s fair I didn’t have too big an issue with his stupid particle effects

[cursive torrent]

man i am envying hk for a boss rematch

[tulip spire]

The main difficulty imo is he’s a pain in the ass to hit

[distant topaz]

sameeee
I wanna fight Seth again

Do you guys think Reaper is a good crest to use for bosses?

[cursive torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/reaper-crest-silkpost-silksong-average-average-reaper-crest-user-gif-11428658938507077422

[distant topaz]

i mostly use it because of it's pogo

but I admit it's pretty mid

[sharp slate]

its a good crest overall, solid survivability

[cursive torrent]

@tulip cedar who?

[tulip spire]

Depends on the boss but generally not really. The main issue with it is that it has kinda crap dps and it encourages you to position at a slightly uncomfortable range

[cursive torrent]

@tulip cedar i see you typing address me

[tulip cedar]

don't mind me www

[cursive torrent]

ok :3

[tulip spire]

Also its gimmick is just kinda not worth it since like wanderer or using Druid’s eyes basically gives you the same gimmick without borking your attack speed

And you don’t need to physically pick up the extra silk

[distant topaz]

huh, that makes a lot of sense.
I mostly use it because it's just comfortable to use in general, but I do admit that it's pretty mid. It's gimmick does make up for it though.

[somber ledge]

Guys. I just went to the grand gate to find karmelita, and I was confident I found her, but then some fool named seth stops me. I look at the map. I am on a straight path to karmelita. Do not tell me I need to fight seth just to have a chance at maybe beating karmelita

[tulip spire]

Does she know chat

[distant topaz]

...
Your... What?

[formal scroll]

Hello

Does they know

[distant topaz]

that's- no your not going towards karmelita, that's another heart boss

[sharp slate]

what do you mean by uncomfortable range btw? doesnt it have longest range thus most options to position

[somber ledge]

Oh

[cursive torrent]

what? not karm, nyleth
and if you do mean nyleth, yes you have to kill that kid

[sharp slate]

unless you are talking about the upslash?

[somber ledge]

Oh

[formal scroll]

If you wanna find karmelita try going to hunters march

[real leaf]

You are going for nyleth

[somber ledge]

Oh, I thought that it was karmelita

[trim estuary]

“Kill” is perhaps generous. Seth at full power could destroy the world

[formal scroll]

I love seth

[somber ledge]

The black figure looks like her, kinda

So I need to fight a boss to fight a boss?

[distant topaz]

i can kinda see it

[cursive torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/ss-silk-song-silksong-skong-gif-9056276688868888316

[vestal flicker]

does karm refer to karmelita?

[distant topaz]

You need to fight Seth to fight Nyleth, yes.

[somber ledge]

SO I NEED TO BEAT 4 BOSSES TO BEAT THIS STUPID QUEST

[distant topaz]

Yeah, pretty much.

[formal scroll]

No it refers to karmhelloiminact3andineedhelpfindingthebosses

[somber ledge]

Act 3 is fucking crazy. Why would anyone want to do this?

[tulip spire]

If you’re too far away it’s harder to keep an enemy onscreen or make a tight overhead jump; it’s actually best to be just outside the effective range of enemy melee attacks

[cursive torrent]

for cinema later down the line

[trim estuary]

Have you gotten the formal request yet?

[formal scroll]

Extra content

[somber ledge]

I think I am actually starting a new save file.

[distant topaz]

Pretty fun.

[cursive torrent]

also it's fun

[somber ledge]

Not fun

[vestal flicker]

I mean, I don't want to suggest this but you can quit at act 2 if you enjoyed your experience up till there.

[cursive torrent]

and you get a new movement perk

[sharp slate]

yea but you can always just, play closer though, longer range doesnt mean you need to play at the edge of the range

[somber ledge]

WELL IT;S TOO LATE NOW

[distant topaz]

also the absolute AURA you feel after completing a boss makes up for the struggle

[formal scroll]

Nyleth aint that hard crolingual

[trim estuary]

The six bosses are super fun. Except for ONE of them

[cursive torrent]

you can be blind to your game completion lmao

[tulip spire]

Oh I know. I mean to imply reaper implicitly creates bad habits

[somber ledge]

6

[distant topaz]

six?

[somber ledge]

SIX WHERE? SIX?????

[vestal flicker]

ignorance is bliss

[distant topaz]

wdym six

[sharp slate]

though i do think reapers up nail hit is horrible

[tulip spire]

By encouraging overly cautious play with its unnecessarily big range

[cursive torrent]

what are we waffling about

[formal scroll]

Hi

[somber ledge]

I started a new save file, I am not doing this

[distant topaz]

Are you counting both Clover Dancers as two bosses?

[trim estuary]

Karmelita, Khann, Seth & Nyleth OR Green Prince & Palestag

[burnt pagoda]

its a comfort crest mainly imo with its huge and highly active moves

[cursive torrent]

oh right, that fucking deer that i hate

[distant topaz]

Palestag isn't a heart boss though...

[formal scroll]

Oh shit i forgot about that stag

[sharp slate]

eh, maybe, not 100% sure, sometimes i value that extra distance though as well for example widow 3rd phase, it feels very uncomfy to be close to her when she can do her dash attack tbh, though obviously thats just one bos. probably boss dependent overall

[trim estuary]

It’s required for the heart boss ain’t it

[formal scroll]

That fucking stag that i hate

[cursive torrent]

what are you uh, gonna do

[vestal flicker]

palestag was so forgettable

[tight viper]

Replace Reaper Crest with Trobbio Crest

[somber ledge]

Going to get to act 2 and stop ther

[distant topaz]

No, you can kill the clover dancers without killing the deer.

[tulip spire]

Yeah it’s not a bad option I just think there are better ones that do the same thing without sacrificing attack speed or favorable hitbox data

[cursive torrent]

you already did?

[trim estuary]

WHAT

[somber ledge]

New file

[distant topaz]

That's what I did at least.

[tight viper]

secret memory orbs

[cursive torrent]

oh wait speedrun gaming?

[distant topaz]

I'm not going through that MESS of a boss.

[somber ledge]

Idk

[glacial kelp]

is it really secret

[somber ledge]

Not good at speedrunning

[glacial kelp]

its just an alt route no

[tight viper]

breakable walls and hidden rooms I mean

[formal scroll]

Can we lowk just make a new hollowknight sequel called hollow knight 3: remastered

[distant topaz]

wait the orbs aren't the main route?

[sharp slate]

I agree to an extent tbh, at least at higher skill levels it gets outclassed at its job. Though i think reaper is one of the best crests for starting out the game and maybe fully through a first playthrough

[distant topaz]

Are you telling me I went on the alternate route this WHOLE time?

[glacial kelp]

you have to do the fountain to skip stag

[distant topaz]

there's no wayyyyyyyyy

there's no wayyyyyyy

[glacial kelp]

no you still need the orbs you just need less

[distant topaz]

oh

[tulip spire]

I think it’s good up until like you hit lace 2 and then it sharply drops off in utility

[glacial kelp]

stag and fountain both give orbs

[cursive torrent]

as soon as the glow gets big you're done

[distant topaz]

but I skipped the stag, and I still killed the dancers?

[somber ledge]

This sucks. No dash, no claw, no grapple, no wings. Just slow misery

[cursive torrent]

yeah

[tulip spire]

Like after you beat trobbio I think it’s best to move off of it

[somber ledge]

I hate being a new player.

[sharp slate]

I can see that, i wish i could delete my knowledge of the game and replay the game with each crest

[burnt pagoda]

its definitely one of the best crests for casuals but if you’re looking for crests that feel rewarding or reward good performance reaper just falls off

[cursive torrent]

why are people put on this earth if all they will do when they grow up is yap

[burnt pagoda]

its still good just not As good

[distant topaz]

huh
this is confusing.

alright ima go bye

[somber ledge]

Yes, everybody should just shut up and let me talk

[glacial kelp]

is this reaper discussion again

[vestal flicker]

sigma newcomer

[formal scroll]

Hey are they talking about my crest

[cursive torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/reaper-crest-silkpost-silksong-average-average-reaper-crest-user-gif-11428658938507077422

[formal scroll]

Cause its pretty good when it comes to being a crest

[vestal flicker]

Witch is better

[tulip spire]

We’re trying to be more nuanced

[trim estuary]

new game+ with a certain crest would be cool. OR A ROGUELITE BOSS RUSH MODE THAT GIVES YOU A RANDOM CREST AAAAAAAHHHHHH

[tight viper]

everything is better

[sharp slate]

fair, especially in a competive sense it just doesnt do anything, though im curious of how well it would go for people to use in steel soul. At that point you are probably good enough to generate enough silk from orbs to regain a solid amount of silk. hmmm curious

[tulip spire]

Than crest bad no grr crest good

[burnt pagoda]

its good for what it is
i think it has its place in the game and thats good enough to justify using it for some people

[vestal flicker]

tru..

[cerulean sable]

Dyo you Hornet was mogging Lace when she said the I will alays be a daughter of Hallownest line

[glacial kelp]

i think ive seen like every take on reaper

[trim estuary]

100%

[sharp slate]

fun fact there is a random crest mod, i want to try it out tbh

[cursive torrent]

are we fr

[somber ledge]

My controller just got incredibly delayed

[tight viper]

I tried it with an enemy rando, it was misery

[sharp slate]

my view is the same tbh

[formal scroll]

Habadahabadahababububabababba

[tulip spire]

My steel soul run I literally immediately ground rosaries to get wanderer lol I don’t care I will do wormways

[tight viper]

I kept getting cursed and crestless, one after the other

no way to disable em, think that's still the case

[cursive torrent]

it's grinded, not ground

and also wow, committed to the bit

[sharp slate]

yea, for my 100% steel soul run I b-lined it for lifeblood and wanderers

[burnt pagoda]

honestly i cant imagine playing steel soul without hunter, wanderer or reaper LOL those three are by far easiest crests to use

[tulip spire]

The past tense of grind is ground

[trim estuary]

Oooh that sounds interesting. Is there a more save file slots mod yet?

[sharp slate]

though i never used reapers in my first playthough, only hunters

[glacial kelp]

where is the frito crest where every floor is a hazaard

[formal scroll]

I ate it

[burnt pagoda]

reaper might go hard with claw mirrors

[sharp slate]

not sure tbh

[trim estuary]

Also maybe a remove memory lockets mod?

[tulip spire]

Okay here’s my sicko steel soul thing: I did trail’s end lol

[tight viper]

shaman crest + radiant difficulty mod

[tulip spire]

I would rather die than fight those two fuckers in the hhg

[tight viper]

no wait

[formal scroll]

Or like not use any memory lockets at all

[sharp slate]

yea defintely, there is a weird concept i have been working on of architect + lifeblood just means a fuck ton of health for steel soul, but i think pogo is just too annoying for people to use it in steel soul

[tight viper]

shaman crest + altf4

[light swan]

mio crest! crest of the keeper! please i need this

[glacial kelp]

yeah idr what fwish stands for already

[slender juniper]

Mid

[light swan]

floorless wallless silk skillless hitless

[rancid stag]

hello everybody my name is multiplier

[glacial kelp]

go back to the mio discord activated windows

[opaque sigil]

how would you translate it

[tulip spire]

Architect is probably the most meta steel soul crest but also it’s just not a fun crest to play
