[hard junco]

Why does silksong get boring when u reach act 2?

[brittle totem]

WUDDUUMEANBELLHARTGETSRUINED

[weak depot]

You can also no longer fight map mommy in act 3

[slender juniper]

Bait used to be believable

[graceful oyster]

Because Silksong is boring smh

[hard junco]

Wdym

[broken seal]

some of the bellhouses fall down and stuff is broken and everyone is kinda depressed

[graceful oyster]

Silksong ain't got no Wheel moments yk

[broken seal]

yeah that too

[stable mica]

Silksong rolls upd

[slender juniper]

[stable mica]

let players capture shorts and upload them

[weak depot]

Mmm ofcourse you did it in the midst of a void-quake

[brittle totem]

who did ts, im gunna murder that bih before act 3

[broken seal]

you, technically

[graceful oyster]

Frey eats pilgrims

[slender juniper]

25% hornets fault

[hard junco]

@brittle totem so you gonna do do it?

[brittle totem]

guess i gotta pull thk

[slender juniper]

75% belongs to the snails

[wicked cedar]

I FINALLY finished the (extremely minor extremely late game spoilers) ||flea juggle|| 😭😭

Took me forever bro

[lime radish]

ikr who came up with cogwork dancers, first sinner, trobbio etc when we had such brilliant bosses like moss mother and skull tyrant that they could have made more of

[stable mica]

incorret

[hard junco]

Ong, the choral smth is so boring

[stable mica]

moss mother is no better than the Unravelled

[broken seal]

she didn't know but she also did like all of the heavy lifting lmao, and the old hermit and chapel keeper lady barely did anything other than give some soul. Vast majority of it was you and caretaker

[hard junco]

Fun first boss

[brittle totem]

im eating act 2

[slender juniper]

Skill issue

[weak depot]

holy shit I just realised I died more times to trobbio than to lost lace

[hard junco]

Boring not hard

[weak depot]

😭😭🙏

[stable mica]

Unravelled actually gives u smth and is the best silk heart boss

moss mother gives u annoyance

[weak depot]

Uhm...bell beast???

[broken seal]

Calling Unravelled better than Bell Beast AND Lace 2 is insane bait

[lime radish]

moss mother has THREE (!!!!!!!) whole attacks, surely nothing can compare with that

[slender juniper]

What if we just killed gms and didnt bind her

Silksong easy happy ending

[weak depot]

I think she'd just regen

She can make infinite silk

[slender juniper]

Nah

[broken seal]

idk if you really can just kill her

[hard junco]

What if hornet just leaves

[weak depot]

She refuses to leave

[hard junco]

Dumb decision

[slender juniper]

Like she said shed be hunted down again and also intrueged by pharloom

[broken seal]

you're prevented from leaving the borders of Pharloom cuz Hornet says some shit about "If i leave, they'll only come back for me" which is true

[weak depot]

..no not really

[hard junco]

Yeah but who will come exactly, a bunch of pilgrims?

[broken seal]

In act 3 it changes to smth about how "i cannot in good faith leave behind this kingdom that i had a hand in ruining"

[weak depot]

The same people who caught her in the first place

[slender juniper]

Start cutscene

[graceful oyster]

Mio doesn't have dialogue for leaving the map, if you decide to fly off into space you fly off into space fr

[hard junco]

Yeah who are those anw?

[broken seal]

she got captured the first time around lol

[weak depot]

Choir members

[broken seal]

Random choir members

[hard junco]

They shouldn't be an issue?

[weak depot]

twin are you ragebaiting

[slender juniper]

Yeah but hornet was plot weakned so she could be caught

[broken seal]

GMS will keep hunting Hornet down, if that doesn't stop her then something else will

[slender juniper]

For silksong

[broken seal]

also if she's sleeping 💀

[hard junco]

No I am genuinely confused

[lime radish]

i mean they do have those cages that can bind her skills

[weak depot]

The opening cutscene dude

[hard junco]

Okay that makes sense

[broken seal]

or they caught her while she was asleep or exhausted from some kind of battle. She definitely is weakened by the cage tho

[hard junco]

How did she break free btw?

[weak depot]

If she can get caught by a wardendly then choir members who are controlled by gms can definetly catch her as well

[slender juniper]

Also they have runes ,hornet was unable to use her silk until the rune was sealed

[broken seal]

Silkfly ex machina

[weak depot]

THE OPENING CUTSCENE

[hard junco]

IK BUT WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED

"How"

[slender juniper]

Lace sent a silkfly, they break seals

[weak depot]

it literally shows you how

[slender juniper]

The silkfly broke the cages rune

[weak depot]

A silkfly sat on the cage and the runes broke

[broken seal]

Well we THINK Lace did, i don't think it's ever explicitly said, but that's what people think was her first act of rebellion against GMS

[weak depot]

If lace wasnt a bitch and didnt go in the void with gms then pharloom would've genuinely been saved

[slender juniper]

Yeah but hornet would be dead

[fossil socket]

hero wannabe

[slender juniper]

That means no silksong

[broken seal]

tbh if Lace didn't go in then they'd be more fucked because GMS would have Hornet trapped with her instead

[weak depot]

Bro she had plenty of time to jump away after cutting off gms hand

[broken seal]

which is arguably way worse

[slender juniper]

Nope,gms grabbed her

And there were void tendrils right below

If lace didnt jump in silksong would end at act 2

[broken seal]

https://tenor.com/view/gms-grand-mother-silk-silksong-hornet-lace-gif-12555888595701384440

[broken seal]

it would end with Pharloom being fucked

[unkempt steeple]

Why didn't they just bait gms into the void portal with "perfect daughter that way" signs

[weak depot]

https://tenor.com/view/gms-grand-mother-silk-silksong-hornet-lace-gif-12555888595701384440

She didnt grab her

(Lace)

[slender juniper]

Are we deadass

[broken seal]

i JUST posted this bro 💔

[slender juniper]

Are you blind

[weak depot]

I didnt see it

[graceful oyster]

Why didn't Horn stop playing music when she started to see void come out

[weak depot]

probably, i havent slept for a day

[graceful oyster]

Is she stupid? (Yes)

[slender juniper]

Go to sleep

[stable mica]

surely yk its a jk

[lime radish]

why doesn't hornet just beat sprintmaster swift by building a wall that looks like a road so he can crash into it

[broken seal]

i mean GMS didn't grab Lace

but Lace has her pin stuck inside GMS

and very quickly after she attacked GMS they were both swallowed up

so Lace didn't do the wrong thing lol

If GMS brought Hornet with her then there would be pretty much nothing Pharloom could do lol

[weak depot]

Leave her pin there bro 💔

[broken seal]

again, she didn't know wtf was happening and she's clearly suicidal lol

[weak depot]

True

[broken seal]

her goal was to fuck over GMS and then die with her

[still osprey]

Do we know why gms discarded Phantom like what did they do to get into the exhaust organ was she just not satisfied enough with them or what

[sharp slate]

honestly they should have just put the void portal under GMS's cacoon while she was sleeping are they stupid /s

[broken seal]

she didn't know what would happen if she went into the Void with her and we can't expect her to know lol

[graceful oyster]

Instead she led on the worst act in gaming history

[weak depot]

Proceeded to fuck the entire kingdom over

[graceful oyster]

Thanks Lace

[minor sparrow]

womp womp

also not her fault

[broken seal]

yeah but if Lace did nothing then the kingdom would be wayyy more fucked

[graceful oyster]

But we wouldn't have had Act 3: Retconworld!

[broken seal]

cuz if Hornet got stuck down there with GMS then Hornet would be cooked and then GMS could use Hornet's silk

[slender juniper]

Fandom=lace is a child we cant ship her, also the fandom:lace is a fucking bitch

[graceful oyster]

So really the pros outweigh the cons

[slender juniper]

[weak depot]

Both can be true

[minor sparrow]

i think im against calling children bitches

little shits is fair game though

[slender juniper]

Lace isnt even a chilf but I wont start this argument

Anyways Beast crest

[weak depot]

Imagine she did get hornet down there and we had a bigger sequence with the knight

[minor sparrow]

i wouldn't provoke it lol

[minor sparrow]

give me a blue slot pleaase

[graceful oyster]

You subscribe to starting an argument when you take a clear side in controversy

[slender juniper]

No ,fuck blue slots

[broken seal]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1124698833683759137/1126541383210106973/1033422672308215890.gif

[rocky lotus]

what

[minor sparrow]

the bigger sequence would be the exact same thing but hornet is just alone at the bottom of the world

[broken seal]

guys ignore it

[broken seal]

nah Hornet would be cooked lowkey

and GMS would be able to use her

[slender juniper]

Hottest silksong char

[broken seal]

so same situation but instead of Lost Lace you have Lost Hornet and there wouldn't be anyone in Pharloom who could stop it

[rocky lotus]

no that would be kratt

[sharp slate]

no though? because GMS isnt trying to save hornet, thats the only reason she survives the void for so long to save lace

[minor sparrow]

nah the knight would just swoop down, get hornet and go

[fossil socket]

what

[fading pike]

winida

[lime radish]

those flame enemies in wisp thicket are probably hotter

[tight viper]

False

[slender juniper]

Croisant ass forhead

[sharp slate]

i think there is a real chance hornet dies/consumed by void but GMS is screwed as well

[minor sparrow]

none of the events change except you just know jack shit about pharloom since you never explored the past

[fading pike]

this was a surprisingly fun gimmicky boss

[broken seal]

she literally puppets her around with void threaded silk, she only tries to save her AFTER

[tight viper]

FotF is great yeah

[minor sparrow]

i don't see how it would be any different then what happens in the SotV cutscene

[fading pike]

pogo your way to victory

[late depot]

Can't send pics here 😔 wanted to share my rough sketch of karmelita that I'm about to start painting

[sharp slate]

I'm confused isnt it said in game that the only reason GMS is surviving the void is because she is trying to keep lace alive

[broken seal]

they'd be trapped in the cocoon

[sharp slate]

i might be wrong im a bit rusty on the lore

[minor sparrow]

i don't see why the knight wouldn't just go into the caccoon and save her

[rancid wing]

technically he's "hot" cuz he literally got a blazing gargantuan torch on his chest

[broken seal]

Void and Void Silk/Void Thread or whatever you wanna call it aren't the same

[tight viper]

Indeed

[minor sparrow]

on what grounds? hornet dove straight into that shit, what's stopping the knight, who can clearly maneuver through the void, from doing the same

[broken seal]

i mean the knight doesn't do this while we're fighting Lost Lace lol

[rocky lotus]

you cant spell father of the flame without ass

[minor sparrow]

because hornet isn't in active danger

[rocky lotus]

because the boss fight is ass

[minor sparrow]

she intentionally dove in with the intent to fight

and save lace or whatever

[tight viper]

What’s not to love about a fight that incentivizes a lot of pogoing?

Pogoing shit is fun

Floorless shit as a whole is very fun

[rocky lotus]

if it had more attacks i would agree

[minor sparrow]

markoth and uumuu flash backs

[unkempt steeple]

The hunter vs hallownest's sprintmaster

[tight viper]

Unless it’s Ass Jim, actually

[broken seal]

https://giphy.com/gifs/degisikhesabmis-gamevault-memevault-VOkpcujSu5L77ysRiD

[tight viper]

Nah Markoth is great

[minor sparrow]

i like treating groal like its floorless

[tight viper]

Uumuu does suck though that’s fair

[minor sparrow]

he'd be fine if that fuckass shield wasn't there

[rocky lotus]

Uumuu is the worst hk boss by far

[minor sparrow]

mostly the second one

winged nosk

[lime radish]

there's just nothing to the fight other than pogoing and going slightly left or right to dodge the wisps (which i also hate as enemies)

[minor sparrow]

discord ate my reply but you get the point

[tight viper]

Godhome VFK:

[tight viper]

And that’s all it needs to be

[unkempt steeple]

I think nyleth does her gimmick well enough

[minor sparrow]

stretch, that fight is fine

[rocky lotus]

i dont hate that fight

[lime radish]

marmu is up there imo

hell most of the dream bosses

[rocky lotus]

its just a complete nothingburger

[tight viper]

It’s so fucking boring though

It’s just a slog

[lime radish]

that's not fun on its own imo

[broken seal]

all of the dream warriors suck they're completely RNG based and the fights have 0 character or interest to them. The dream warriors have some neat lore on some of them and the characters are cool, but the actual fights against them suck

[rocky lotus]

Uumuu is even more of a slog

[unkempt steeple]

I hate most dream warriors

[sharp slate]

i think uumuu godhome is okay, but regular is just narrative "fight" pretty meh

[tight viper]

Nyleth is peak, yeah

[minor sparrow]

wait, hear me out. p5 VFK would be more fun as a silksong boss

[lime radish]

i'm doing a beast crest only run and that was a fun way to spice that fight up a bit but on its own it's just not fun

[tight viper]

At least with Uumuu you can do cool shit with the explosions

[tight viper]

Definitely

[graceful oyster]

Dang it's so sad that Mio has no floorless fights then
Oh wait it has several

[lime radish]

nyleth is also way more fun with beast crest

[tight viper]

Aerial combat is so much better in Silksong

[sharp slate]

VFK is the first boss i would remove from godhome

[lime radish]

she's still massively overshadowed by seth though

[unkempt steeple]

Alot of things are much better in silksong...

[minor sparrow]

mine would be gpz because i forgot to leave him to die

[minor sparrow]

what is up with you lol

[trim estuary]

TRUE

Except Markoth

[raw pawn]

Plasmium phial is my best friend in steel soul

[tight viper]

Markoth is great

[unkempt steeple]

My best friend is pavo

[graceful oyster]

Idk man not much, yourself?

[minor sparrow]

oh now I want that one section in trial 2 in silksong

[trim estuary]

Don’t lie to me

[rocky lotus]

Aerial combat is so much better in Silksong

[minor sparrow]

nothing fr

[tight viper]

They should make the floor of the Unravelled kill you if you touch it

[sharp slate]

shocking that the sequal has better mechancis xD

[minor sparrow]

honestly that'd be pretty manageable

[unkempt steeple]

You never realized how much I used clawline until playing without it

[raw pawn]

The amount of damage the phial lets you tank in steel soul saved my life a lot of times

[rocky lotus]

team cherry should hire you

[unkempt steeple]

Also sprint

[minor sparrow]

his top hitbox having a big ass no-pogo-zone is a bit annoying but it'd be neat

[tight viper]

I assure you it isn’t lmao

[unkempt steeple]

And air binding

[lime radish]

the unravelled is messy enough as it is

[balmy talon]

i love fahlaris guy

[minor sparrow]

his fat ass has a spot you can pogo on it

[wintry dock]

||I LOVE LOST LACE FIGHT||
||I didnt won yet, but the fight itself, it’s like dance duet , chess play! When I lose I don’t get mad, but smirk at Lace for getting this one||

[minor sparrow]

it's managable but not fun

[tight viper]

It’s fun but holy shit is floorless Unravelled so comically difficult

[balmy talon]

does anyone else love fahlaris guy (i like his voice his attack is annoying)

[graceful oyster]

You're talking to the floorless guy

Trust

[unkempt steeple]

I think the unravelled is neat the issue is it's way longer than it needs to be bc the boss is constantly underground

[tight viper]

When the table shows up, sure yeah

[balmy talon]

yeah!!

[tight viper]

But when it’s not there? During phase changes, spears, the beginning?

[minor sparrow]

the what?

[raw pawn]

It's because they take half the fucking screen

[tight viper]

You’re in for a wild ride, my friend

[tight viper]

The big one

[balmy talon]

are you that one youtuber with the same pfp

[unkempt steeple]

"Who ate all the silk?!"

[minor sparrow]

it's because of that stupid wall bounce he does at the end of the arena, other than that im fine with the fine

[tight viper]

I need to find the recording of my best floorless Unravelled attempt

[graceful oyster]

That's just a 12th archi sprite from Silksong g

[minor sparrow]

no, there's just no images of twelth architect between this and being dead so everyone uses the same one

[wintry dock]

Unraveled is mostly uncomfortable cause of lack of light, rest of it easily learned patterns, at least it was to me

[lime radish]

it also has 1k health, an absolutely ridiculous hitbox and a dash attack that is barely telegraphed

[raw pawn]

That attack where they throw corpses at you and you don't know where they are coming at you sucks too

Good thing they deal 1 damage only tho

[balmy talon]

dude unraveled has a massive hit box dont make it more annoying than it already is

[minor sparrow]

the lack of light is like for the first 10 seconds

[balmy talon]

sad

[lime radish]

it can just run into you and deal damage because the hitbox is absurd

[quick oak]

Yea

[unkempt steeple]

The hitbox makes it so hard to hit it after the dash

[minor sparrow]

and then the fanart of twelth isn't that much better

[quick oak]

I locked in when I used wanderer 1st time and 1st try him

[minor sparrow]

there's one i have for steam but i haven't found anything else that isn't intentionally sexual for some reason

[balmy talon]

dude i left unravelled down there and lowkey forgot about it till act 3

[raw pawn]

Maybe the spears were fun to dodge in the unravelled

[quick oak]

Bro and why people are suffering in the abyss out route the lava slows down when it's close i got hit like 3 or 4 times and did it

[minor sparrow]

they're cool except for the fact that they can hit you after bros already dead

[balmy talon]

the curse of being clocked as a female

[graceful oyster]

Moron no longer

[quick oak]

Am in act 3 with everything I need and now all quest need to be done

[minor sparrow]

tis but a shame

[quick oak]

Any tips?

[raw pawn]

Nightmare no more

[quick oak]

Uhh ok

[balmy talon]

depends which quests

[quick oak]

All

[minor sparrow]

I feel no attraction towards any characters in either game, i don't know how people do it

[quick oak]

Everything' i accept everything

[quick oak]

Lewds?

[azure patrol]

Who would win?
Grand Mother Silk (Prime/full power)
VS
Pale King's overwhelming rizz

[quick oak]

Or is it lawds?

[raw pawn]

But gms th- /j

[quick oak]

Pale king win

[minor sparrow]

not even her

[wintry dock]

I wish we could move Styx out of sinners road, like, I have whole bell house, i don’t think others would mind if bellhart got new resident
I love my morsel making husband, but it’s ridiculousi need to walk through all that stuff just to get to him

[balmy talon]

flea juggle tip: give up and kill yourself /nsrs

[minor sparrow]

like sure she's female shaped at the top but she's just like an orb

[light swan]

theres a hole above bellhart, move styx there

[raw pawn]

I think he is too big

[quick oak]

Alr ;_; i will play Tommorow i 100% abyss it wasn't much

[minor sparrow]

the one with the memory locket?

[quick oak]

Btw free 600 rosaries

[balmy talon]

what about you put him down in the bell hermits old home (since styx is kinda a hermit)

[light swan]

probably

[quick oak]

Curiosity make cat rich this time

[fervent pasture]

My Cat gracy Gave birth 4 days ago
My dog rosy killed the kittens yesterday

That bomb looks ai generated

[quick oak]

It's not my native language either

[balmy talon]

i was thinking that i didnt want to be mean

[wintry dock]

Of course, your native language is Awoooooooo

[quick oak]

Yea

Awoooooo

[raw pawn]

Btw is trobbio a moth? Is he related to the radiance?

[raw pawn]

Find a depressed gay prince

[quick oak]

I did

I talked to him he said he was late

[raw pawn]

[quick oak]

And then I say u r late

[wintry dock]

It’s Bretta’s beta design?

[minor sparrow]

idk if bro has elegy yet, he just did ascent

He is an unrelated butterfly

[minor sparrow]

i think

[exotic fern]

its. Someone!

[wicked mason]

Im stealing that giant slug and putting it in my game

[wintry dock]

She is adorable though

[exotic fern]

carnival of crustaceans might be an extremely early sands of karak

Btw curiosity give cats things too like I got pale nails

[wicked mason]

Salubra?

[exotic fern]

does anyone know what this is referring to

[quick oak]

Awooo?

[cursive torrent]

[wicked mason]

Maybe the citadel was a tower back then who knows

[silver oak]

coral tower

[wicked mason]

But...

[quick oak]

No awooo?

💔

[exotic fern]

i know karmelita was but was khann a backer character too?

[silver oak]

mhm

[wicked mason]

Why is my image taking so long to be sent

[tight viper]

Idk if this is my best one but this is the best one I could find

[wicked mason]

Maybe it's the tower from my game map :))

[exotic fern]

were all of the people you steal the hearts of backer characters

[fiery burrow]

Not Green Prince or Nyleth

[wintry dock]

Bridge of peace sounds like a beautiful safe shortcut area

[fiery burrow]

Seth is fanmade but not by a backer

[silver oak]

is mistlake a pun

[tight viper]

I just realized a full successful attempt would probably reach like 4-5 minutes, holy shit

[wicked mason]

It quite is.
And kinda like dirtmouth, the more you explore and find NPCs they will move there

[wintry dock]

Coral city, I can only imagine if there will be seahorses that act like actual horses

[exotic fern]

god bless brandon lieu #WeLoveYouKhann

[wicked mason]

Thanks for the idea 👀

[wintry dock]

Oh, iits one of ‘comfort area with friendly npcs’ places?

[wicked mason]

Yeah and even the bugs are just passive and stuff

[wintry dock]

Even better if you will add the sea sheep

[wicked mason]

Whats a sea sheep

[wicked mason]

Give me a sec

[slender juniper]

Google is free

[quick oak]

Like a random ass mini boss that do random atk

[wintry dock]

They are perfect bug game looking sea creatures

[quick oak]

Deals 2 mask of dmg

[wicked mason]

That looks awesome I'll try to add it

[wicked mason]

I will pretend I didn't see your message

[slender juniper]

Why

[wintry dock]

It can be less sentient bugs like Zaza or bellbeast
Being more of transport or livestock bugs

[wicked mason]

It's annoying enough to a point where Im gonna kindly act like I didn't see it

[slender juniper]

But google is free

[wicked mason]

You brought me the fast travel creature idea

I wasn't setting my mind for that one

But a see sheep for fast travel would be awesome

[slender juniper]

This build is peak

[wicked mason]

🤯

[azure patrol]

Hornet is behaving like a dick again

[exotic fern]

they were here the whole time

[slender juniper]

Arent sea sheeps really slow

[wicked mason]

Yo that's awfully good

[wintry dock]

Blissful canyon sounds either sweet or lazy?
I bet most of bugs 5ere are either passive or don’t look agresssive

[wicked mason]

I don't know about that but I guess

[slender juniper]

Theyre like snails, slithering

[wicked mason]

It's kinda peaceful with less bugs, but the bugs there are real bad. It's supposed to be a little place with blossoms and flowers and stuff

[wintry dock]

Gun, knifes and under influence of substance hornet with someones wallet she took form dead body

[wicked mason]

Oh damn

[slender juniper]

Actually they are snails

[wicked mason]

Wouldnt it be hilariously ironic to put a see sheep as a fast travel

[slender juniper]

No

[wicked mason]

Elder hu from shakra's master too 🤔

[untold dune]

i dont remember the 2nd bug tourist looking messed up like that 😭

[unkempt steeple]

they should make a dlc about the skarr getting infected by cordyceps, also I wonder if greyroot is based on the horse hair worm

[wicked mason]

But he looks comfortable

[quick oak]

Use ankle bracelet compass made it too op

[wintry dock]

Sea horses are better option
Sea sheep even look more like ‘cute little thing you pet’

[quick oak]

Yoo i got in act 3

[wicked mason]

Like Zaza? Uh how big is a see sheep?

[untold dune]

gg

[wicked mason]

Male sea horses are the ones that get pregnant btw

[wicked mason]

Yes we know

Sea sheep are somwhere between shrimp and sea horse in size I think?

[quick oak]

I got zango heart or organ and bind with ava silk soar and new crest and pail nails

[wicked mason]

Sounds good 👌

[slender juniper]

Slug sized

[wintry dock]

Only species where male can add opinion on abortion, my respect to sea stallions

[wicked mason]

Alright

[exotic fern]

what if you did a sea angel instead

[wicked mason]

Imma send how the main character looks like one sec

[wicked mason]

Holy that looks gorgeous

[unkempt steeple]

you know what it'd be cool? a fog canyon like area in sos with sea angels like those jelly fish enemies

[wicked mason]

I like how were talking sea creatures and my game is about water n stuff

[wicked mason]

That's awesome

[wintry dock]

That looks like it’s should be a realigious Angel figure like character who sacrifices their life for Mc or something

[unkempt steeple]

lowkey eva kinda looks like a sea angel in her achivement

[wicked mason]

is this a peak animation or what

[exotic fern]

some aquatic insects if you need them

[wheat mango]

I’ve finally found all the lost fleas

[wicked mason]

damn i only knew about water strider and stinkbug thx bro

[void moat]

add a barnacle boss

[unkempt steeple]

there are alot of aquatic spiders that form a bubble around their head to breath, what if we get an ancestral art like that in sos to go underwater

[wintry dock]

Is this THE Pablo?

[wicked mason]

definetely

[minor sparrow]

dude axes are so cool. give hornet an axe

bounce that shit off an enemies head and reel it back

[exotic fern]

theres also the water boatman

[unkempt steeple]

voltvyrm kinda looks like one

[wicked mason]

close enough, he was supposed to be pablo but i made him this (his name is Rivet)

[minor sparrow]

anemonae

[wintry dock]

Neat!

[minor sparrow]

or however you spell that

[wicked mason]

heres the old pablo one

[wheat mango]

It’s more of a bivalve

[wicked mason]

dont make fun of me for thinking he has a hammer pls

[wheat mango]

Does he not?

[wicked mason]

its a razor

afk

[wheat mango]

Oh

[unkempt steeple]

weirdly according to hornet it's not even concious, like a venus fly trap

[wintry dock]

I THOUGHT IT WAS A GIANT MACE

[minor sparrow]

i was just thinking its little tendril head thingy looks like anemone and the fact that it uses electricity

[exotic fern]

i think a bug wielding a giant hammer would be way cooler actually

[wintry dock]

Dont mistreat your sibling like that!
Thought if they did bow to accept the boba tea, maybe they agreed

[void moat]

voltvyrm is probably based off of anemones or deep sea worms yeah

[wintry dock]

Toad bug gave me a jumpscare, it look like creepy old man smiling

[wheat mango]

I’d also recommend a triop aka the creatures that Shelly and Donny are in Splatoon 2 and 3

[exotic fern]

defense mechanism

[wintry dock]

Styx, my boy, please, move into bellhart!
It’s safer and you can make me morsels in our little house!

[void moat]

do not play steel soul

[minor sparrow]

well she did say it was safer so

[slender juniper]

This is not a dating simulator

[exotic fern]

yes it is havent you seen act 4

[wintry dock]

Im not planning to anyway, I would kill splinter sister and then die to random ahh bug

[void moat]

silksong has writing fit for a dating sim

[wicked mason]

im bac

[wheat mango]

Real

[void moat]

good i dont think youd like what happens to styx

[wicked mason]

its definetly cooler

[wicked mason]

mace? the spiky ball?

[wintry dock]

Hornet has

Shakra
Lace
Styx

And that only those I remembered right now

[void moat]

not lace

[wintry dock]

They not?

[void moat]

she's underage

[wintry dock]

sheds a tear of widow,not on above bellhart
I know what happens to him, I couldn’t handle to witness it

[void moat]

rest in peace my young son

[wintry dock]

I thought she was ‘laced’ into that role?
Like groomed into infidelity
She says she was forced to be like a child, no?

[wintry dock]

Nooooooo
My husband!

[fervent pasture]

playing silksong, streaming it in VC silksong 1 if anyone wants to give tips or shiz

[wintry dock]

Spend rosaries and Biden them into strings or bracelets

[lime radish]

biden them

[wintry dock]

Shards are must have if your build depends on tools

Buy compass from Shakra

[void moat]

she is but in silksong it's taken to a more literal sense, with gms weaving her to be a pristine and perfect child, incapable of disobeying and forever loyal to her

[short crest]

LJ runback is awful 😭

[lime radish]

avoid buying more benches than you need early on, if you unlock every bench you come across you will struggle with rosaries

[void moat]

just wait until you fight groal

[wintry dock]

FlyingLine is right, your should invest in bellbeast

[lime radish]

groal the goat

[wicked mason]

It takes time but it's not hard

[short crest]

Is Groal the Soul Master on drugs?

[wintry dock]

PTSD FLASHBACKS
So true… so … many… maggots

[wicked mason]

Kinda same lore

[exotic fern]

and gms failed again🤦‍♂️stupid ass

[wintry dock]

Is soul master is mafia guy who does lines of coke in his mansion
Groal the great is crackhead in alleyway who cooks his dose with metal spoon and lighter

[lime radish]

i always enter bilewater after putrified ducts because wreath of purity makes most of the area trivial

[short crest]

I lowkey might use Sinners road skip to citadel

[wicked mason]

I wish I couldve known sooner 💔

[wintry dock]

Good luck on ||horror like part|| of road to citadel

[wicked mason]

Greymoor?

[short crest]

Gaymoo-

[wintry dock]

The one before ||phantom||

[short crest]

I using Reaper,Magma Bell,Flea medication,Silk spear

[lime radish]

who would win?
the largest area in the game outside of the citadel
vs
one tool

[wicked mason]

It's their first playthrough right? I don't think they'll even find ||the mist|| before they beat the last judge

[raw pawn]

Have you ever played silksong with your life on the line?

[summer pasture]

i was gonna show an image but i cant post it
shoutout to my 80 gigs worth of silksong gameplay (excluding act 1 and not even done playing the game)

[wicked mason]

No but have you?

[tulip mango]

almost died bro

[short trout]

Was it ever mentioned that there will be new crests in the upcoming DLC/DLCs?

[void moat]

implied in the trailer

[wicked mason]

It's confirmed by the trailet

[raw pawn]

Nah but there is one scene in the trailer that hints to it

[void moat]

not sure if tc's directly said it on their blog

[lime radish]

they haven't confirmed anything but it does seem to be hinted at least

[short trout]

Oh okay

Thank you guys

Now I know to save my memory lockets

[raw pawn]

I hope that crest along with sea of sorrow aren't only available in act 3

[slender juniper]

No reason why

[short trout]

Wdym

[slender juniper]

Theyl give you more memory lockets in the DLC

[minor sparrow]

uh. why?

[lime radish]

if they add a new crest they will also add more memory lockets

[short trout]

Well yea but I'll just fully upgrade it faster

[slender juniper]

Theres just enough memory lockets for all crests and you need to unlock all of them for 100%

[wicked mason]

Fair point

[short trout]

No guarantee I'll find all the necesarry memory lockets needed

[wicked mason]

Dont worry I don't think team cherry would put them behind a path of pain

[lime radish]

no you don't, my first 100% save file is missing a memory locket

[slender juniper]

Easier saying all than 33 crest slots

[lime radish]

you only need enough to get all of the eva upgrades

[short trout]

Yea I get that but I can't know if I passed a hidden one or not

[wicked mason]

Ok

[raw pawn]

New crest = more slots = easier to get Eva upgrades

[short crest]

I'm done with Silksong for today

[slender juniper]

If you dont spend any lockets on hunters you can get sylphsong in act 2

[short crest]

I saw someone beating the hell out of LJ with beast crest

[raw pawn]

You can spend lockets on Hunter and still get sylphsong in act 2 actually

[slender juniper]

Youtube I looked them up

[slender juniper]

Nope

[slender juniper]

You cant. All the other 6 crests give exactly 33

[short trout]

I used a silksong tracker and inserted my save file and it's much more efficient imo

[raw pawn]

I am betting 5 dollars you don't know about the locket in deep docks

[slender juniper]

I do

[lime radish]

yeah i'm pretty sure i got sylphsong before act 3 in my current save and i upgraded hunter

[slender juniper]

Wait fuck you can

[short trout]

Besides I don't think anyone should rely on the internet to find at least 80% of hidden items if they are actively trying to find them

[slender juniper]

Why not ,fuck searching

Love youtube tutorials

[short trout]

How is it more fun to look up a tutorial for everything than to actually find it yourself

[minor sparrow]

searching? in my metroidvania? why I'd never

[wintry dock]

I only used hunters crest and wanderers if I felt like to try something new
When I beat beastfly, I was so disappointed to find how mid beast crest is
Like it has good roar and animation of attack, but it’s jumping is so

[slender juniper]

Leaves the tediousness of having to revisit every area and smack every wall

Thats where 50% of lockets are hidden

[short trout]

Well that's fair I thought you ment like using it for literally everything

I was only missing like 2 or 3 lockets, the rest I found on my own

[minor sparrow]

i don't think I missed too too much

[chrome canopy]

what silksong mods could I get

[slender juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/ss-sk-skong-silk-song-gif-14514797702729285380

[minor sparrow]

could or should?

[slender juniper]

Skill issue

[bronze oasis]

I was thinking. and there are 2 ways how cornifer could get in places before the knight.

a) he has the some of the abilities of knight

b) he can use 3rd dimension

[chrome canopy]

could.

[minor sparrow]

cause there's hundreds of mods

[hard junco]

No 2 masks damage or always have compass effect

[chrome canopy]

because I'm (attempting) to make a modpack
and Idk many good mods

[minor sparrow]

he burrows obv

[short trout]

Pantheon of pharloom is a pretty good one that adds a ton of replayability

[minor sparrow]

like the beastlings

[slender juniper]

No 2 masks of damage?eww why make the game easy

[lime radish]

i wish i could move like this man i was losing my mind trying to get through this minigame just an hour ago (i'm doing a beast crest only run)

[unkempt steeple]

he acctually just has the teleport mod

[bronze oasis]

I prefer the answer he can use 3rd dimension

[hard junco]

Cause

[minor sparrow]

ew no two masks

[chrome canopy]

I've played that one it's peak
but it won't work for a full playthrough which is what I'm trying to do

[minor sparrow]

the game is significantly easier without 2 masks, like unbearably easier

for me at least

[chrome canopy]

I'll keep my 2 mask damage
the compass one I might get tho especially with moorlap (Idk if it'll work properly but I'm trying it)

[hard junco]

I am feeling unmotivated to continue act 2 ngl

[slender juniper]

Why

Best act

[minor sparrow]

true

[hard junco]

I don't like the place or enemies in choral, and boring

[unkempt steeple]

act 4?

[hard junco]

There's an act 4?

[slender juniper]

Bait used to be believable

[minor sparrow]

mid, act 6 is better

[hard junco]

Wtf

[short trout]

Act 4 is good but lowkey act 5 takes the cake

[unkempt steeple]

They add new acts every week

[short trout]

Act 6 is mid ngl

[hard junco]

Woah fr?

I thought max is 3

[minor sparrow]

nah bro fight me

scrap

[short trout]

The 25th architech shop is so mid

[hard junco]

Are these acts before or after grandmother silk?

[minor sparrow]

but you're telling me the return of grimm troupe was bad?

[hard junco]

Talking about 4-6

[short trout]

LMAO

[hard junco]

WHAT???

[unkempt steeple]

can we talk about how badly exectued the radience's return in act 9 was

[hard junco]

Are y'all fucking with me

[chrome canopy]

it's a joke

[short trout]

Speaking of grimm troupe was I the only one who thought the grimm troupe was gonna return when they saw Trobio's sign?

[minor sparrow]

she shouldn't have been brought back bro

[slender juniper]

Grandmother silk is act 8

[chrome canopy]

it's all a joke

[minor sparrow]

there's no reason the pilgrims should even know about her

[tight hull]

what is going on😭

[chrome canopy]

we're talking about silksong's acts

[hard junco]

Wtf, I thought there's only 3 acts

[short trout]

We are discussing the acts

[lime radish]

yay pinterest is still an extremely annoying boss it just doesn't get any better as i complete more runs

[hard junco]

How long is this game

[slender juniper]

Theres 12 get the new update

[unkempt steeple]

every act ends with you fighting an older great grandmother

[chrome canopy]

there's only 3
get out of here this is spoiler land

[hard junco]

Which is the latest version?

[slender juniper]

They already ended in act 2 cuz they have a skill issue

[crude geyser]

I don’t understand father of the flame gimmick

[minor sparrow]

the Shade lord fight in act 10 was a bit disappointing but I understand

[crude geyser]

Like, when it makes a reverbed sound

[unkempt steeple]

act 11 was the worst act I hated the multiverse bs

[short trout]

There is no gimmick he is just a platforming boss

[minor sparrow]

pogo. that's the gimmick

[crude geyser]

It makes it deals actual damage

[minor sparrow]

it was on the nose, but it did explain the "all endings are canon" thing

[slender juniper]

Yeah like tf why did I have to fight 3 laces at once

[midnight jasper]

I switched to Wanderer crest

Dude that is absolutely broken

[slender juniper]

Ladies and gentlemen,we lost another one

[chrome canopy]

Nuh uh every crest is valid and good

[minor sparrow]

we have to put him down, just like they did with shakra in act 7

[midnight jasper]

I don't know how but I kept hitting critical hits and I genuinely felt like prime Yuji hitting blackflashes

[short trout]

3 Lace fight was so bloated. Act 10's Lost Sisters fight with Lost Lace and Lost Phantom had so much better execution with a much nicer flow to the attacks.

[midnight jasper]

Same for the dice

Dude I've never felt better in my life playing Silksong

[minor sparrow]

now that I thing about it, I don't really like the crit sound that much. it's kind of grating

[crude geyser]

Why does it make sounds sometimes ? Like a reverb ?

[midnight jasper]

It gives me pleasure

[slender juniper]

.Except reapers.

[hard junco]

What 12 acts were y'all talking about

[fiery burrow]

Saw '3 lace fight' and thought we were slandering LL and being based for once

[lime radish]

trying to heal against pinstress with the beast crest (she won't let me get near her for one fucking second whenever i bind)

[cinder violet]

use flintstone, it is better

[chrome canopy]

Yes

[unkempt steeple]

the trobbio crest:

[chrome canopy]

what's wrong with it?

[midnight jasper]

Reaper crest is good sometimes it's just more commonly used for parkour more than combat

[minor sparrow]

beast crest has piercing so I think she can't block it at least...i think

[chrome canopy]

Reaper is also good
I don't use it personally but it's not bad

[slender juniper]

The attacks do the same amount of damage

[midnight jasper]

Yeah true

[noble siren]

Honestly, I think we need a dlc all about trobbio and how amazing he is

[slender juniper]

It litteraly is bad

[midnight jasper]

The upslash is just not good for flea mini games is what I'd say

[minor sparrow]

i do like reaper mods a lot that adjust the damage

[minor sparrow]

it's perfectly usable lol

[midnight jasper]

What are you trying to say here?

[lime radish]

the problem with reaper is that while all of the other crests get better as you improve at the game reaper gets worse because you don't need to bind as often and are left with a crest that just deals less damage with no benefits

[slender juniper]

But bad

[slender juniper]

Heavier attacks for no more damage, bind ability doesnt save it cuz it sucks, 3 orbs for one silk

[short trout]

Does anyone else really dislike the Pinstress fight?

[lime radish]

the only use case i could see for reaper is that you could maybe use the extra silk for more silk skills but shaman crest exists for that

[minor sparrow]

idk. I don't really see it as bad, but worse, if that makes sense

[short trout]

Wdym reaper is insane for new players

[lime radish]

i mean for more experienced players

[slender juniper]

The bind is horrible, 3 orbs for one silk

[short trout]

Literally your first free down pogo crest

Used it through my entire playthrough

[minor sparrow]

it doesn't do anything more than the pogo

[minor sparrow]

for new players

[short trout]

Well yea fair

[lime radish]

i'm gonna be honest reaper's pogo kinda sucks

[slate wagon]

is hunter really that hard to aim

[slender juniper]

I love hunters pogo

[minor sparrow]

it's my favorite pogo by far

[short trout]

Not really the abbility is also nice but even if it was just the pogo it'd still be worth it in my eyes

[minor sparrow]

i like hunter though

[slate wagon]

(the answer is no btw)

[lime radish]

it's slow as hell and i find myself getting hit while trying to pogo with reaper way more often than i do with hunter

[midnight jasper]

It really helps with Hunter's March, it's definitely not as good as the other crests but I don't get why you're trying to call it bad, I can use it anytime and it's really not that bad

[minor sparrow]

the ability isn't too too useful

[midnight jasper]

I used the Hunter's crest for a while now

Only switched to Wanderer's crest today

[thorn wharf]

Guys i reached the green guy in bile water. I forgot his name but i thought he was in act 3😭🙏

[lime radish]

my favorites are hunter, beast and of course wanderer

[slate wagon]

having used hunter crest only my first run, it’s amazing

[slender juniper]

Youre forgetting how slow the attacks hit

The pogo is even slower

[lime radish]

it's one of the more disliked fights in the game

[slender juniper]

Id rather hunter pogo ovrr that

[minor sparrow]

i don't think the pogo speed really matters to me

[thorn wharf]

I love the hunter crest. It carried me the whole game

And the attacks are like the grimm attacks

[slender juniper]

Hunter pogo is peak

[thorn wharf]

If you know how to aim

[minor sparrow]

i don't like witch's and architect's, and im not experienced enough with beast

[slate wagon]

beast crest pogo is actually insane for combat
it sucks for platforming but everything else it’s peak

[thorn wharf]

Architect is so good

[minor sparrow]

hunter and reaper are fun

[lime radish]

it just feels awful to play with a pogo that slows me down when i usually want to use the pogo more aggressively during combat

[minor sparrow]

talking specifically about how i feel about their pogos

[thorn wharf]

I meant reaper

[slender juniper]

Destroy.reaper.crest.

[thorn wharf]

I missed up the names of creasts

I meant reaper

[minor sparrow]

reaper is aight

[thorn wharf]

Peak*

[minor sparrow]

in terms of overall crests

[slender juniper]

No.destroy .it

[thorn wharf]

Destroy what

[slender juniper]

From.the.game

[crude geyser]

Father of the flame is legit a dogshit fight omg

[lime radish]

right now i'm really enjoying beast crest's pogo because once you get used to it you can use it really aggressively, same goes for hunter

[slender juniper]

Reathrows up per. CRest

[short trout]

Usefull and interesting enough to hook in a new player

[thorn wharf]

You will never understand

[slender juniper]

3 orbs per silk

[minor sparrow]

i think the concept is cool, but the implementation leaves a bit to be desired

[short trout]

Just get good I guess lol

Or hit multiple enemies

[woeful matrix]

we love reaper

[lime radish]

well the thing is reaper is the only crest that feels like it was made for new players

[slender juniper]

Or wanderer sharpdart and make the game easy

[short trout]

Maybe it would be viable if it would give a silk every 2 orbs instead of 3

[thorn wharf]

The reaper crest passiv is so good for exploring

[lime radish]

so it falls off a cliff when you stop being a new player

[slender juniper]

It doesnt have a passive

[minor sparrow]

i think I like reaper when it comes to groups of enemies rather than when it comes to bosses

[short trout]

Yes I completely agree with that and I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with having a crest mostly catered towards newer players

[thorn wharf]

The silk abality (cant spell sry)

[minor sparrow]

when it comes to bosses I'd rather use hunter since there's not shit flying around my screen

[slender juniper]

All crests should be perfectly balanced

[lime radish]

i don't think it's a good idea to have a crest that acts as a crutch for new players and doesn't serve any other purpose

[minor sparrow]

not feasible but ok

[slender juniper]

And they arenr

[woeful matrix]

i was super reaper crutched when i first played

[woeful matrix]

i think its actually fine that the crests arent all perfectly balanced

[slender juniper]

3 orbs for one silk

[thorn wharf]

Yeah its good

If you can hit

[minor sparrow]

anyways crest discourse is boring anyways

[lime radish]

if you want to make a beginner friendly crest it should still serve a purpose late game, that's not impossible

[minor sparrow]

it's been the same talking points since the game dropped

[thorn wharf]

[woeful matrix]

silksong tomorrow for sure

[minor sparrow]

honetly I expected all of the crests to get upgrades and not just hunter

[worldly tree]

SoS tmrw

[slender juniper]

No, you gotta make all playstyles all the same power level

[minor sparrow]

i get it but still

[rocky jolt]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/586931790208434203/1461489975177515149/submarine.gif

[lime radish]

we still argue about charms like steady body from time to time and hollow knight is 9 years old

[minor sparrow]

and that's boring, yeah

[thorn wharf]

Sea of sorrow tommorow TRUST

[lime radish]

crest discourse isn't gonna end anytime soon

[minor sparrow]

i didn't say it would lol

i just said it's boring

[woeful matrix]

on this guys life sos tomorrow

[slender juniper]

Changed my name yall

[short trout]

You're acting like it's actively detrimental to you if you aren't a new player

[thorn wharf]

I will take it

[worldly tree]

yay

[short trout]

Is it the most optimal? No, but you can definately make it work just like any other crest

[worldly tree]

reaper dookie

[slender juniper]

Rate my new username

[woeful matrix]

i like reaper for platforming

[minor sparrow]

i don't really care 3/10

[lime radish]

yeah it kinda is, it just has worse damage output and a slower moveset than the other crests with no benefit

[wintry dock]

So Zote Boat

[worldly tree]

actually i like all crests except architect

[slender juniper]

0/10 for not caring

[minor sparrow]

sure, whatever you say

[short trout]

The additional silk gain and down pogo precision?

[wintry dock]

Reaper is decent….but beast or witch…

[woeful matrix]

same
i never used architect because i dont like using red tools lmao

[rocky jolt]

architect haters when their crest doesnt have the biggest attack variety out od any crest

[slender juniper]

Reaper crest has the 3rd worst silk gain(with bind)

[worldly tree]

no dissing beast crest

[slender juniper]

The bind ability doesnt help it at all

[woeful matrix]

beast crest is so fun

[worldly tree]

architect mains when they can’t pogo

[short trout]

Yea excluding the bind definately

[lime radish]

again, these are only significant if you're a new player

[slender juniper]

INCLUDING the bind

Its the 3rd worst in silk gain

[rocky jolt]

they use delvers drill for that

[wintry dock]

I fought beastfly for most mid pogo jump in game
Though mechanic of beating shi out of enemies to gain heal is great

[short trout]

You can still run it normally tho

Like I actually don't see a problem with it the way it is

[woeful matrix]

don't get the problem with reaper being designed for new players i think thats perfectly fine

[short trout]

Exactly

[lime radish]

i'm not saying it's unusable it's just worse than the others

[slender juniper]

The bind gives you a 30% silk gain if ALL hits hit during the time period, if yiy get damaged, the bind ends

[worldly tree]

i disagree the pogo is broken for pvp

[rocky jolt]

incredible day for the 5 pvp users

[short trout]

Well yea but nothing wrong with a crutch in my eyes

[slender juniper]

So you get one extra silk on evarage per bind, that is 3rd worst silk gain

[woeful matrix]

yo who cares if it has the worst gain bro 💔

[slender juniper]

Me ,because it fails at its gimmick

[worldly tree]

i meant pve whatever

[slender juniper]

Its a crest that REAPS aditional silk from enemies and it fails to do that well

[short trout]

I switched over to Shaman once I found it and never looked back on Reaper but I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it

[wintry dock]

I tried to fight with beast pogo jump, I felt like Hornet was drunk the whole time

[woeful matrix]

i like all the crests (except that one)

[worldly tree]

i hate people who don’t like their crest but use it cuz it’s good

[worldly tree]

architect $

[woeful matrix]

just use whatevers fun lowk

[slender juniper]

Fun?YOU PLAY GAMES FOR FUN?

[worldly tree]

for me wanderer is fun so i use it or beast cuz its so skill and satisfying

[worldly tree]

shush

[rocky jolt]

beast user around

[lime radish]

unless a game has an incremental progression system where you unlock stronger abilities as you progress and naturally stop using the weaker abilities you unlock early on, having an item whose only purpose is to be a crutch for new players while all of the alternatives continue to have uses for more experienced players is poor game design imo

[slender juniper]

The fuck the car do

[worldly tree]

chillll

[wintry dock]

More question, WHO LEFT CLAW MARKS ON IT?

[lime radish]

i've seen games where the beginner friendly abilities you unlock early on continue to be decent late game they're just not as flashy as the others, it's not impossible

[short trout]

Yea maybe if you factor in the higher DPS from wanderer, which comes at a cost of a really short range. A casual player isn't gonna run all those calculations and comparisons on the fly and it's completely fine if it's not the most optimal, it's not that big of a deal really.

[slender juniper]

Who needs long range when you have the best silkgen and can outheal everything

[short trout]

I have no idea what you are talking about

[rocky jolt]

if you use the term "dps" in your first playthrough (specially in the early game) you need to be sentenced to cursed crest only

[chrome canopy]

do silksong performance mods even exist

[lime radish]

the simplest solution would be to give reaper an upgrade like hunter to help it keep up with other crests for more experienced players

[slender juniper]

Wanderer:facetank facetank,sharpdart,ffacetank, bind ,continue and you win

[woeful matrix]

i dont think it's bad design if it fulfills its purpose very well, it allows new players to get into different playstyles and exploring while also being placed at a spot where the game starts to get harder to help people

[slender juniper]

@short trout

[woeful matrix]

i agree it should be able to upgrade like hunter and that would be cool

[near mirage]

Awoo

[short trout]

I mean maybe they could just make 2 orbs give you one silk instead of 3 orbs. An upgrade is a nice idea tho I will not lie

[rocky jolt]

chalamet

THE MUSIC JUMPSCARED ME

[slender juniper]

Reaper has extremely missed potential

[chrome canopy]

monor what crest do you use

[rocky jolt]

whatever bro

[slender juniper]

Everything...except reaper

[still osprey]

Reaper needs a buff but idk how you would buff it without changing the core idea of it

[burnt pagoda]

give it a tipper

[sturdy trellis]

give it a little extra range and make the silk gen a little stronger

[burnt pagoda]

i be sayin this since forever it needs a tipper that does more damage

[slender juniper]

1)25% needle damage increase
2)silk orbs give one half

[sturdy trellis]

reaper is not that bad if you dont judge it for its performance against bosses

which is not where it's meant to shine

[short trout]

Let's just agree to disagree and move on. Each side made their completely valid points and frankly I don't think it's THAT deep

[burnt pagoda]

and maybe generates more silk

[woeful matrix]

positive conclusions in my ss disc??

[lime radish]

i mean if anything reaper being such a crutch for new players discourages them from getting into different playstyles, i've seen many people getting different crests and switching back to reaper shortly after because it provides a comfort zone they don't want to leave

[burnt pagoda]

honestly yeah the one problem with reaper being so easy to use is that it enables bad habits for people who want to try to stretch out and play other crests

[woeful matrix]

fair point

[short trout]

That's a fair point but again you might missinterpret that for wanting a safer crest

Like imo I really don't like wanderer and Beast I especially disliked

[slate wagon]

beast has a learning curve, but it’s very good once you get it

[short trout]

I didn't use the Architect crest cause I had absolutely no money to afford all the shell shards needed to get it's max value

[slate wagon]

the distance for the pogo especially

[burnt pagoda]

beast crest 🩷

[lime radish]

well beast feels completely different than almost any other crest in the game so i can understand leaving it for later playthroughs

[short trout]

So I just stuck with the reaper

[slate wagon]

totally
(looks at steel soul beast only run)

[short trout]

Completely valid reasons for sticking to the Reaper imo

[lime radish]

yeah i'm really enjoying that right now

[slate wagon]

if it helps
holding back or forward changes the distance you go

back will make the windup dash shorter

[burnt pagoda]

ive mastered the pogo for traversal i think

[lime radish]

no i didn't know that and i'm about to fight lost lace lmao

[burnt pagoda]

once you do that it becomes so good to use for everything

[short trout]

Really don't like it for exploring no matter what you say about it you can't argue with the fact that it's not one of the worst when it comes to exploration if not the worst

[burnt pagoda]

unless you wanna heal during platforming or whatever

[slate wagon]

i mean, as long as you’re not like one mask and no silk

[short trout]

Yea you can make it work but it's mechanically among the worst for exploring

[slate wagon]

it’s not terrible
you cna easily hit and run a lot of enemies during exploration to get it back

[lime radish]

the bind gets really annoying if there are no enemies nearby yeah

[burnt pagoda]

realistically you’ll probably have silk or at least nearby enemies to farm silk from

[slate wagon]

that i can agree with

[wicked mason]

does anyone use gale mod manager

[short trout]

Really wish Shaman was unlocked earlier in the game btw

[burnt pagoda]

its not very exploration friendly if you arent used to it though yeah

[short trout]

Me

[wary storm]

we'll get reaper lifeblood progression in SSSOS

[slate wagon]

i wish there was an option to use crests in a new run
like new game plus and start off with your preferred crest

[wicked mason]

this happened as soon as i set up gale and tried to run it do u know a fix or smt

or are u just as clueless as i am 🥺

[lime radish]

man i understand that team cherry wants to keep this game immersive and whatnot but not adding an option to start with any crest you want is such a missed opportunity gameplay wise

thankfully you can do that by editing your save file but it should just be a built in feature

[short trout]

Not gonna lie I don't know

Maybe delete and reinstall? Or input the directory yourself

[strange knot]

What’s gale

[short trout]

Yes that would be pretty cool

[analog mist]

meow meow meow reaper needs a buff

[burnt pagoda]

you have such little time to make use of shaman if you do everything in act 2 before heading into act 3 like i did

[slate wagon]

would love a witch only run
too bad i gotta wait til like hella mid-late game to get it

[analog mist]

what if reaper just had soul collector effect

[strange knot]

Mods?

[still osprey]

I've played through the entirety of acts 1 and 2 while fighting all available bosses along the way with Beast crest, and while the pogo is hard to get the hang of, usually if you're to the side of the thing you're trying to pogo it ends up working it

[analog mist]

each hit = 1 1/3 silk

[wicked mason]

yeah i did both but i think i know the solution now, thx either way

[slate wagon]

i’m on console

[burnt pagoda]

i kinda just used it for crawfather and. that was it lol

[short trout]

Yes that is true but I am making use of the Shaman with the Path of Pharloom mod. A really fun crest for me

[strange knot]

Oh, ye that sucks

[analog mist]

actually should be 1/2

[dark harness]

Chat I'm making a Silksong X Legends Arceus AU
What would Trobbio's ace Pokèmon be
-# I'm just making a Crossover where Silksong characters replace characters in Pokèmon: Legends Arceus
-# Why? Because It would be interesting, now shush /j

[short trout]

Oh no problem and good luck

[analog mist]

hisuian liligant or smth

[lime radish]

shaman being a very late game unlock makes sense due to the bind and the difficulty of managing your silk between three silk skills, assuming there will be late game content in future DLCs that give you time to actually use it (like a godhome equivalent of course)

[analog mist]

actually nah

should be smth more dramatic hmmmmm

[short trout]

Yea I understand why it's not in the early game but still feels too late imo

[strange knot]

Shaman would be too op if you unlocked it earlier

[slate wagon]

not really

[slender juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-game-knight-hollow-silk-song-gif-25946303

[analog mist]

ehh

[strange knot]

Gn

[slate wagon]

you have no skills to use on it, you’d just have the base moveset like every other crest

[short trout]

Good Night

[midnight jasper]

ChatGPT still thinks Hollow Knight Silksong isn't out 😭😭

[analog mist]

tell the gpt it's a dumbass

[short trout]

Let's keep gaslighting it

[untold dune]

yeah its pulling its data from reddit which in our case means silkposts lmao

[strange knot]

U can get first 2 skills in first 2 hours.

[midnight jasper]

Honestly I don't trust AI I just ask it for fun

I use wikis instead

[untold dune]

yeah i dont trust ai either

[final furnace]

no good silk skills and gaming skill if too early

[slate wagon]

having 2 skills is not that strong i promise
especially early game with a tiny ass spool

[untold dune]

i dont understand anyone who uses it for research

[analog mist]

can we not make ai pull info from Reddit the moment it can

[strange knot]

Thstorm is one of the most damaging skills

[short trout]

Shaman does have a really good range tho

[lime radish]

i mean 3 of the silk skills are in act 1

[midnight jasper]

Most of it's answers are gathered from community posts and it can have misinformation

[languid plaza]

👀

[obsidian owl]

yo is that senris i see

[analog mist]

oh yeah shaman would also be ass early game cuz of spool

[midnight jasper]

It literally told me that Hollow Knight: Voidheart was a combination of all DLC's and thats misinformation

[burnt pagoda]

are shaman skills stronger than archi tool spam?

[short trout]

Yes another good point

[slate wagon]

is that alp or do mine eyes deceive me

[strange knot]

Wdym spool

[scarlet kite]

bro who lied to me and said first sinner was hard it took me 3 tries

[analog mist]

small spool

[strange knot]

No

[midnight jasper]

Hollow Knight comes with all DLC's and Voidheart is just nintendo version

[obsidian owl]

thine eyes do not deceive thou

[chrome canopy]

anyone know any mods that add new tools

[strange knot]

Doesn’t rlly affect it that much

[burnt pagoda]

then shaman’s probably not too strong for act 2

[minor sparrow]

I just did revolt and devotion and twice in a row then immediately failed to maintain consistency lol

[analog mist]

I didn't buy no voidheart
I just bought base game it included all dlc

[short trout]

I mean I'd say they are close but I'd personally rather not have to rely on my money to utilize a crest in the most efficient way

[strange knot]

At least it doesn’t make shaman bad

[burnt pagoda]

you get like. sawtooth + extremely good tools around the same time you get architect

[slate wagon]

realistically in a fight with base spool, youre gonna have to worry about healing too
you won’t just be spamming skills unless youre a god gamer

you have to think about the crest in the hands of the average player

[strange knot]

Shaman should be unlocked in late act 2

Not earlier

[analog mist]

plus egg of flealia and volt filament are both pretty late game

the two things that make spamming silk skills more op

[analog mist]

I agree tbh I feel like act 3 is too late

[strange knot]

To make shaman good enough and not rlly op it should be there imo

[short trout]

Shaman will truly shine with more DLCs I just know it

[strange knot]

Witch is pretty ok with unlocking

[analog mist]

witch is a little annoying to unlock itself tbh

[short trout]

Witch has some interesting tool synergy but I just see it as a slightly better Beast crest imo

[strange knot]

I’d say it’s rlly good

[analog mist]

only one that requires side quests instead of just finding it

[short trout]

A little is a severe understatement haha
