[grim forum]

HK IS UNIQUE YOU SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH

[fallow sorrel]

What do you mean PoP counter 965

[copper hedge]

and do stupid stuff like making a hammer nail gun

[cedar bluff]

it means they did path of pain 965 times constantly somehow

[fallow sorrel]

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT

[copper hedge]

they like pain ig

[cedar bluff]

path of pain

[copper hedge]

they probably have no mouth to scream suffering

[fallow sorrel]

Ok AM

[inland sparrow]

0_0

[grim forum]

And no will to break

[copper hedge]

no mind to think

[grim forum]

No voice to cry suffering

[copper hedge]

no path too convenient

[grim forum]

Oh you alr said

[fallow sorrel]

Only ever read I have no mouth and I must scream, never played the game

[copper hedge]

[cedar bluff]

[grim forum]

Time to listen to pikmin singing creep, ahem

[cedar bluff]

[copper hedge]

[grim forum]

Creep by pikminhead

[copper hedge]

speaking of waffles and pancakes

flashbacks of that time i was playing papa's pancakeria, and made a whipped cream tower on a waffle lmao

[fallow sorrel]

ITS PAPAS PANCAKERIA NOT PAPAS WHIPPED CREAM TOWER ON A WAFFLERIA PLAY THE GAME PROPERLY OR NEVER BASK IN THE GRACE OF PAPA AGAIN

How many unique attacks does nyleth have

[storm karma]

Lol

[grim forum]

Yes im srs bro

Desc reader here

[cedar bluff]

[copper hedge]

ok which Papa's branch would Hornet excel a lot

[leaden delta]

I should’ve specified movement but hk is pretty basic all things considered

[fallow sorrel]

4

FIVE

ITS FIVE I FORGOT TO COUNT THE WALL SWITXY

[tight meadow]

And how many hits to stun her

[cedar bluff]

bro took too long to answer, you are now irrelevant to society

[fallow sorrel]

Never counted

[copper hedge]

[leaden delta]

god forbid a hot bitch shower

[tight meadow]

Not very #1 fan of you

[copper hedge]

[fallow sorrel]

I NEVER COUNTED HER STAGGERS GOD DAMN IT

Zote with cat

[grim forum]

Zote steal yellow tool quality

[inland sparrow]

ment for exploreing and not fighting

[crude geyser]

There is legit only two viable yellow tools

[copper hedge]

i like the ascendant's grip tool

[grim forum]

Real

[grim forum]

Compass and dice

[copper hedge]

and the shell stachet

sachet

[leaden delta]

they’re meant for qol more than anything

[cedar bluff]

satchel

[grim forum]

But also silkspeed anklets

[copper hedge]

man i suck at soeling

speling

[lavish apex]

ascgrip, dice, and barbed bracelet are the only ones with appreciable combat utility

[grim forum]

Soeling

[lavish apex]

and dice is lowkey kinda bad

[iron trellis]

i have obtained the magitite dice

[grim forum]

Excuse me?

[cedar bluff]

your keyboard has a skill issue

[grim forum]

EXCUSE ME?

[crude geyser]

Dice and belt

[leaden delta]

weighted bracelet also though it's less useful in silksong due to the nature of its combat

[lavish apex]

did you fart or something

[copper hedge]

did u win from a mini gambling game

[grim forum]

And belt yeah

[leaden delta]

30% more iframes is nice tho

[iron trellis]

found them on a body

[grim forum]

Barbed bracelet is NOT good

[light swan]

i wouldn’t put ascgrip over silkspeed anklets but both are low-key situational

[inland sparrow]

I will hate you forever now

[lavish apex]

dice is at best like 3% damage reduction

it's not good

[copper hedge]

uhhhh ok....

i hope its not a victim of yours or

[grim forum]

Ascgrip can actually help with parkour cheese cause you can grab 1mm ledges easier

[opaque sigil]

dice are bad but that just goes to show where the bar is with yellow tools

[unkempt steeple]

Not like other yellow tools are very good in comparision

[iron trellis]

totally…

[unkempt steeple]

People would say dice is trash if it was a blue tool lol

[lavish apex]

barbed bracelet is good for nohits

[opaque sigil]

and it would be

[copper hedge]

so whats with your hunter's journal having a recent entry-

[grim forum]

True true

[lavish apex]

and farming grand reeds

[inland sparrow]

true...

[grim forum]

Im in act 2 but never fought sister splinter

I skipped her

[inland sparrow]

yeah cause you can do a skip

[iron trellis]

i absolutely fucking murdered that guy

[lavish apex]

belt is also good for wanderer and beast

[grim forum]

Im gonna fight sister splinter for fun

[lavish apex]

i kinda just forget it exists tho

[copper hedge]

wow.

so whats the hunter's notes you wrote about

[grim forum]

Wanderer and belt+fleabrew

[lavish apex]

i'm not sure what combat utility anklets have

[iron trellis]

he rolled a 1

[grim forum]

Well if enemies move fast, so do you, but other than that its just being quicker

[lavish apex]

i cannot recall any boss where i was like yeah i wish i could risk dashing into their face and taking contact damage to get to them like 5 frames faster

[copper hedge]

he rolled a 1
@iron trellis lol

[lavish apex]

or where that would be useful for evading something

[cedar bluff]

im actually so bored rn

[grim forum]

Green dancers or whatever

[inland sparrow]

same thats the only reson why am here

[lavish apex]

i know who you're talking about but i don't see your point

[light swan]

i know it particularly comes in handy for second sentinel parries

[cedar bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/jesus-ballin-mars-bars-gif-19910027

[light swan]

but its likely just generally useful outside of that

[copper hedge]

embed failure

[light swan]

because running faster is always good

[grim forum]

You get to them on the sides quicker

[cedar bluff]

bro failed an embed and deleted it

[inland sparrow]

Am finally done with this stupid game

[light swan]

for example, chasing first sinner

[lavish apex]

that is true

[cedar bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/i-saw-i-saw-waht-you-deleted-deleted-doakes-james-doakes-gif-13276549325124160491

[grim forum]

Nuh uh

[lavish apex]

in exploration and for speedrunning

[light swan]

also i may be a bit biased because im a witch crest user and witch ALWAYS wants to use dash attacks

[unkempt steeple]

Do I count pre-boss gauntlets in my hitless boss run

[light swan]

another example is karmelita's big sweep/sprint

[grim forum]

Nahh

[light swan]

khanns attacks that push you away allow you to quickly go back in for some burst damage before he jumps

[grim forum]

Do speedrunners go out of their way through memorium to skip groal

[cedar bluff]

almost did khann no hit first try btw thats how bunz he is

[light swan]

and also there just... isnt really any drawback since you rarely sprint straight for long enough to lose a piece of silk

[cedar bluff]

average groal skipper

[light swan]

ascended grip.... helps with cheesing groal ig

[lavish apex]

the drawback is not being used to it and smashing into their face

[light swan]

and some other niche scenarios where you just wanna chill on a wall

[grim forum]

Ive never tried groal or skipped him i js know of it

[light swan]

for example i liked it in hhg and karmelita's attacks

[copper hedge]

ive used it to cheese the choral clappers with garmond

[light swan]

its particularly good against surface climb but thats not combat

[cerulean sable]

Silksong should power creep tools

to the point it goes like this

[grim forum]

Idkkk

[lavish apex]

fire emblem heroes jumpscare

[copper hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/a-mimir-gif-26093646

bro pokemon already has power creep silksong doesnt need it either

[copper hedge]

ight gn guys

[lavish apex]

god that game sucks ass

[grim forum]

Gn

[ionic stump]

What is your favourite silk skill?

[inland sparrow]

Gn

[cedar bluff]

cross stitch clears

[grim forum]

Cross stitch

[unkempt steeple]

Pale nails

[lavish apex]

thread storm or cross stitch

[ionic stump]

Yeah fair enough

[inland sparrow]

Cross stitch

[light swan]

silksong is the only game where heavy blow will have a minor niche on one particular playstyle

[stable pilot]

Sharp dart

[grim forum]

What

[unkempt steeple]

Can just activate without much thinking

[ionic stump]

I mean 9/10 times cross stitch carries

[cedar bluff]

shaman loadout is pale nails sharpdart and cross stitch since thread storm is overated

[ionic stump]

The other 1 is when I use shaman so i also use other abilities

[inland sparrow]

And the dopamine you get from it

[grim forum]

Shamans using 17 cross stitches in a row is what i wanna do

[stable pilot]

Dopamine is overrated

[ionic stump]

Shaman with volt filament and weaver light

[cedar bluff]

unpopular opinion

[inland sparrow]

thats okay

[cedar bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/i-saw-i-saw-waht-you-deleted-deleted-doakes-james-doakes-gif-13276549325124160491

[lavish apex]

spear is worse vengeful spirit but still good

[grim forum]

Somebody should go to lower bilewater with cross stitch and punish them for their sins

[ionic stump]

It's good early game

[unkempt steeple]

The goat that let me do lost lace hitless

[lavish apex]

it carried me through hhg on my speedrun achievement file

[ionic stump]

I just beat her and it was really needed

[light swan]

i play way too aggressively to not have a parry

[grim forum]

Real

[ionic stump]

Now I will probably try steel soul

[lavish apex]

steel soul sucks in this game

[cedar bluff]

steel soul is overated

[ionic stump]

Or i will make a save that will never go to act 3

[inland sparrow]

lowki all i needed was sleep cause then am more alert and have a faster reaction time

[cedar bluff]

MY MAN

[grim forum]

Having parry must make savage beastfly ez

[lavish apex]

i've done it without quits, it was miserable

[inland sparrow]

Itdoes

[ionic stump]

When i learnt all of her attacks it was easy

[grim forum]

Sigh i wish i had vc

[inland sparrow]

fair

[ionic stump]

Now idk what to do next probably go for all mementos

[light swan]

steel soul doesnt sound very fun ngl

[ionic stump]

And collect all relics/ cylinders

[inland sparrow]

what the fuck do you mean?

[grim forum]

What

I got muted so i had to start over

[light swan]

ive tried steel soul out like 7 times

[inland sparrow]

oh

damn

[lavish apex]

in hk1 it's a challenge that i can appreciate because it's much harder to lose control of a situation completely in that game

Why were you so aggressive with that😭

[inland sparrow]

Idk bro

[ionic stump]

Bilewater trobbio

[lavish apex]

1 misinput at the wrong time can kill you in so many places in silksong

[cedar bluff]

no its moss grotto cheap knockoff

[lavish apex]

or snowball into a death

[light swan]

precisely

[grim forum]

Same as tormented

[ionic stump]

Cross stitch is my favourite ability with pale nails being second

[cedar bluff]

gotta love sans of karak

[broken seal]

sans of carrot

[inland sparrow]

took me 94 trys to compleate steel soul

[ionic stump]

Hate this region more than Bilewater

[grim forum]

Why did i ragequit sk for a month cause last judge and then come back at beat her first try a bit ago

[exotic dome]

this is why i haven't started a steel soul run yet

[cedar bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-hornet-hollow-knight-gif-5503458344524908864

[broken seal]

i love bilewater and sands both are amazing locations

[ionic stump]

Bilewater is not that bad

[exotic dome]

i agree lmao

platforming is so repetitive and boring in karak

[cedar bluff]

unpopular opinions

[ionic stump]

The sands of karrak has just more annoying platforming

[grim forum]

Bilewater lowk not TOO bad

[ionic stump]

Yeah

[grim forum]

But it still sucks

[ionic stump]

Nah groal is peak

[inland sparrow]

Yeah its a bit over hated

[lavish apex]

and then you also have the act 3 opening which is just bullshit

[cedar bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-hollow-knight-rage-bait-hornet-phantom-gif-13542340927859002000

[ionic stump]

Especially when he swallowed me for 100000 time

[light swan]

lowkey (sorry for the mio mention) but i feel like this is why mio feels so much more fair than silksong despite being more punishing

[grim forum]

L-ratio + skipped + L bozo

[cedar bluff]

ez

[ionic stump]

You can't skip him it's patched

[cedar bluff]

casually downgrades

[broken seal]

go one day without mentioning MiO in SK Discussion challenge:

[ionic stump]

Nah i won't do that seems like cheating

[inland sparrow]

ama be honest the muck maggots is what made groal the great hard

[grim forum]

WHAT WHEN

[cedar bluff]

delver's drill and conchcutter spam groal ez

[broken seal]

that skip got patched like super early on lol

[inland sparrow]

You could skip him in the first place?

[exotic cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/theres-no-limit-to-the-glaze-flight-riding-ftc-glazed-donut-gif-13467296479651443764

[ionic stump]

Muck maggots it's what made Bilewater hard

[opaque sigil]

hitless is even presented as an intended playstyle which is kind of crazy

[inland sparrow]

True

[ionic stump]

Yes with the lightning red tool

[grim forum]

Multibinder is anti

[lavish apex]

it kind of is in silksong too tbf

[ionic stump]

I just used wreath

[lavish apex]

stuff like barbed bracelet, egg of flealia, hunter focus

[grim forum]

I dont have wreath

[opaque sigil]

not in nearly the same capacity

[inland sparrow]

I did all of bile water before getting that😭

[ionic stump]

You can find it on putrified ducts

[ionic stump]

Thank god i was prepared

[light swan]

its more consistent to do hitless in mio tho

[grim forum]

I dont know where putrified ducts are

[lavish apex]

yeah probably

[ionic stump]

After you beat groal it's the next area

[lavish apex]

i can't think of any boss with visual problems in mio

[midnight jasper]

I got to act 3

[ionic stump]

There is also another way in

[light swan]

and also like, the player is trained into that mindset ig so its easier from there

[light swan]

only friends i think

[ionic stump]

Through memorium

[lavish apex]

and the lack of contact damage makes it feel broadly more fair

[light swan]

exactly

[ionic stump]

I just beat act 3

[light swan]

you only need to focus on the boss attacks in terms of defense, which is the core of what the bossfight is about

[grim forum]

https://tenor.com/view/youtooz-big-chungus-spin-funny-gif-26470160

Js click on it

[opaque sigil]

it's also more important to actually learn fights since there's no healing mechanic

[light swan]

yea

[opaque sigil]

much harder to tank your way through stuff

[light swan]

mio forces you to play well and from there the difference between playing well and playing hitless is pretty small

[lavish apex]

while i dislike the fact that contact damage still sometimes feels like bullshit in a lot of games i feel like there is merit to including it esp for bosses

like it prevents
what you can do to nabuu
for example

[light swan]

it depends on how its done i think

[midnight jasper]

I liked the alt ending

[light swan]

i dont think contact damage in nine sols had any problems

[opaque sigil]

nabuu just needed a get off me move

[midnight jasper]

But anyways, now that I'm in act 3, what things should I go for first

I got the Beastling Call

[light swan]

xerneas has a get off me move it just doesnt work

since its a backwards kick shake thing but doesnt hurt you if youre in their top half

[grim forum]

How do you enter act 3

[midnight jasper]

Oops I forgot to get the Witch's crest

[midnight jasper]

Are you sure you want spoilers

[grim forum]

Yes

[midnight jasper]

Alright

[stable pilot]

Bla bla bla Cuphead has better boss design than both MiO and silksong

Bye

[midnight jasper]

I'll put a spoiler on the message for those who do not want spoilers and are just here to chat

[lavish apex]

i think it can be a cool extra layer to combat but also including it means you need to make enemy movement polished

[grim forum]

Yes and no

[light swan]

i think generally it depends on the game ngl

[opaque sigil]

obviously a boss rush game is gonna have more involved boss design

[lavish apex]

and the hk games kinda don't have a 100% success rate with that

[light swan]

a more rigid game like nine sols is ok to have contact damage for example

[lavish apex]

it's pretty high

but not perfect

[light swan]

in silksong where you move a lot it can be very easy to fuck up

mio where you move a LOT if contact damage existed it would be fucked up

[opaque sigil]

ss also has a lot that do two masks of damage that deally don't need to from my memory

[light swan]

particular annoyances of mine are super minor stuff like

[grim forum]

Db???

[light swan]

first sinner crouching down and sticking her head forward

second sentinel often ducks before attacks and then stands up into me

[lavish apex]

i feel like that's only an issue for a hyperaggressive playstyle

[light swan]

yea it is

but its something thats impacted me a lot

[lavish apex]

that happens to be using a crest that smashes into bosses' faces

[light swan]

but like delvers drill is impossible to use on second sentinel now

[lavish apex]

where it's like Bad for me
is most of the flying bosses

[light swan]

also with teleports it feels a biiit unfair when something teleports into you and you take damage

[lavish apex]

like lugoli, beastflies, broodmother

[light swan]

even though its avoidable it still is kinda annoying

[light swan]

yeaa

[grim forum]

Db u still here?

[lavish apex]

or unravelled with its fucking bouncing off the wall

[rough quiver]

unraveled is not that bad

[opaque sigil]

teleporting is often just lame

[lavish apex]

you can play around it but that doesn't mean it isn't annoying

[light swan]

random flying contact damage moment

[lavish apex]

unravelled is probably a bottom 5 franchise boss for me

[light swan]

i never had a problem with lugolis contact damage because they often try to fly away or around you before starting an attack that comes in

beastfly its after the slam and then they jump into your face

[inland sparrow]

Real

[grim forum]

Isnt unraveled that one puzzle game where you and 1-3 other ppl are yarn and stuff

[midnight jasper]

@grim forum

[grim forum]

Thxx

[smoky bridge]

Cross stitch is one of the two valid silk skills for Beast the way I see it.

Sharp dart is the alternative, but even then I'd pick cross stitch every day of the week.

[broken seal]

Cross Stitch is overall the best for every crest lowkey

[smoky bridge]

You don't care about the damage, and CS is just better for Beast.

[clever crystal]

chat should i continue to 100% my steel soul with with only 5 masks?

[grim forum]

Wait wheres fleatopia

[light swan]

cross stitch has amazing damage anyway

[grim forum]

No

[light swan]

its not like it deals less damage than most other silk skills

only threadstorm and sharpdart beat it out

[broken seal]

you need the other masks for 100% anyway 😭

[lavish apex]

i like cross stitch as it is

[clever crystal]

wot ._.

cuhhhh

[broken seal]

Masks give percent lol

[light swan]

it needs a damage nerf imo, 2.8 was fine

[smoky bridge]

Nah, Sharp Dart is more reliable for Iframes and deals more damage

Silk Storm is by far the best damage wise/aoe.
Pale nails are just .. good ranged attack.

Uuh.

Rune rage exists.

[grim forum]

Rune rage doesnt exist

[smoky bridge]

I forget spear exists often, but it's decent.

[light swan]

threadstorm generally isnt worth it for most crests i feel

[lavish apex]

i would rather every silk skill just get buffed

[smoky bridge]

It has more effective range etc

[clever crystal]

so i need to get fleas and masks now 💔

[light swan]

it takes too long to get the most damage out of it

[clever crystal]

life is hard

[smoky bridge]

Thread storm isn't bad, just stop extending it.

[spark anchor]

does rune rage take longer to activate than a bind

[smoky bridge]

It got buffed again recently, but I'd still stop at like. One extend.

The damage falls off the longer you extend it.

[lavish apex]

it takes longer than an injector band bind i think

[lyric hull]

Guys I just beat lost lace for the 1st time
Tbh I expected her to be a little bit harder

[light swan]

and utility wise cross stitch and sharpdart are just easier and faster to use

[broken seal]

Cross Stitch still does great damage and provides the most safety and a ton of range, most consistent and overall most useful for every crest. Others can be argued for Shamans cuz it relies on them for damage, but even then Cross Stitch is almost always ran on Shamans

[smoky bridge]

It does make you drop all your silk of you get slapped in the animation tho.

[inland sparrow]

fair

[grim forum]

Time to do some stuff

[inland sparrow]

she is easy

[last marten]

||Ya know when you complete an ending you get a new menu loading screen option? Is there one if/when you get Cursed Child ending?||

[grim forum]

Bilewater shenanigans time

[light swan]

in which case it barely does more damage than other silk skills lol

[inland sparrow]

yeah

[lyric hull]

I got to her last phase at my 2nd attempt

Any tips for 30hrs 100%?

[inland sparrow]

Also one if you beat the game on steel soul

[last marten]

Oooh what does it look like, google aint giving me anything

[smoky bridge]

No, you're extending it too long
I tend to go for two extra presses.

Also it deals damage in a good Area.

[inland sparrow]

i will show you just let me get silksong up

[smoky bridge]

Either way Cross Stitch is better than sharpdart for beast, cause it lets you keep the pressure on much better.

[light swan]

in whcih it still barely does more damage than other silk skills

[lavish apex]

thread storm is the add deleter

[last marten]

Tyyyyyyy

[light swan]

im not saying threadstorm is bad

[smoky bridge]

I wish rune rage was good... It looks so cool...

[light swan]

im just saying i wouldnt put it above sharpdart or cross stitch

[inland sparrow]

here

[light swan]

and of course threadstorm is useless on witch crest because bind is just better in every way (except silk cost)

[lavish apex]

yeah that's fair

[smoky bridge]

No, I am not putting it above, i'm putting them roughly equivalent.

[lyric hull]

It's beautiful

[spark anchor]

OH MY GOD LOL

[light swan]

id put them slightly below

[smoky bridge]

Tbh That's purely because iframes are preem currency.

[last marten]

Oh it looks pretty cool I wish I could do that now (I didn't even realize it was an ending until after I started Act3)

How does the Steel Soul look?

[inland sparrow]

like this

[smoky bridge]

You die If you die.

Oh I was expecting more

The backgrounds are so pretty.

fair lol

[inland sparrow]

there is one if you do the mr musroom quest]

[lyric hull]

Yea I prefer that one from normal with Lace but in Abbys

[smoky bridge]

I hate mister mushroom.

[light swan]

i thought that was just regular TE screen

[smoky bridge]

They put their weapons togetha <3

[inland sparrow]

LOL😭

[tight meadow]

Is there a damaged rosary string count

Like can you only hold 20?

[last marten]

||I think I like the regular Citadel version most out of the ones I have, I feel like I might eventually do Cursed Child ending cause I really do like it too, but given how Im already in Act3 I dont really feel like start a whole new playthrough||

[last marten]

Erm I dunno what that is so I think I wanna find out myself

[smoky bridge]

Yep all rosary strings have a cap

[inland sparrow]

k

[smoky bridge]

Not sure if 20 but that feels right.

[last marten]

I think it's 20 for all types of rosary strings

[tight meadow]

20 is max for most things

[smoky bridge]

And shard packa

*packs

[last marten]

Tysm for the viewing

[tight meadow]

What about hornet statuette and architects core

[smoky bridge]

Sadly there are not 20 beast shards.

[inland sparrow]

Your welcome

[smoky bridge]

We should get NG+ just so I can hit 20 stacks of hornet statuettes

[tight meadow]

When I found rosary gun place I thought I'd be able to make all the strings

Like even the 320 rosary ones 😭

[exotic dome]

ng+ in silksong would be so funny

[inland sparrow]

I got the rosary gun and never used it

[exotic dome]

we need a mod of that

[smoky bridge]

It is bad

[inland sparrow]

Yeah

[smoky bridge]

It's fun to mess around with, but like. You're burning a string worth' of beads to mildly inconvenience the enemy.

[exotic dome]

it's a tool that exists solely for worldbuilding

[smoky bridge]

The animation looks cool tho.

[inland sparrow]

and it doesnt do alot of damge tbh

[smoky bridge]

I wish it was better. You should be able to load it with big rosaries for extra damage.

[inland sparrow]

but it is cool

[smoky bridge]

Let me fire the big ass white rosaries.

Hornet has impeccable firing stance.

[lavish apex]

rosary cannon is a joke item

[smoky bridge]

Wish it halted you mid air when you start firing, then it could be used for air stalling.

Like flintslate and blueberry juice.

I still think it's funny how Hornet immediately pack bonds with Second Sentinel.

[grim forum]

I hate slubberlugs

[inland sparrow]

Who is that?

[still osprey]

Slubberlug room is the worst room in the game

[inland sparrow]

oh

[still osprey]

Like, by far

[inland sparrow]

those

[grim forum]

Why is nobody in sk vc 🙁

[inland sparrow]

i would go in sk vc

[grim forum]

Im gonna go in sk vc

[inland sparrow]

k

[lavish apex]

slubberlug room sucks yeah

[fossil socket]

omg its lace from skong

[twilit lichen]

I played the game for a bit and ended up in the place with lava and literally just a loop that all leads back to the same places

[scarlet karma]

explore new areas

ur prob going in the same places

[plucky elk]

Baby hornet is amazing

[smoky bridge]

I was gonna make a meme but the program fails to remove the background from the hornet sprite (it leaves behind a weird haze) and I do not give enough of a damn to do that manuall.

[stable pilot]

Hello

[fossil socket]

hi

[dreamy rose]

I just bought silksong!!

[still osprey]

Nice! Good luck and have fun 😌

[twilit lichen]

Can you mod pirated silksong

[lucid forum]

not the kind of questions you should ask here pal

[acoustic jackal]

lwk should of js bought peak

[twilit lichen]

Well i did ask in molding discussion

[twilit lichen]

My dad said I can next week

I just wanna like try the start out

[summer meteor]

yes, but I don't think this server likes piracy just look it up on youtube

[vast bolt]

I own Silksong.

[lucid forum]

sometimes it's better to be patient until the actual peak happens

[odd hull]

Nice, have fun!

[twilit lichen]

Well,is the hp bar on steam atleast or am I gonna have to go to third party shit

[lucid forum]

as far as I know you have to mod it with external stuff, dunno, I haven't modded mine

[still osprey]

Silksong modding uses BepInEx and you download mods through Thunderstore

[vast bolt]

Tribbio got my ass kicked 2-3 times.

[midnight jasper]

TROBBIOOOOOOOOOOOO

[prisma star]

Would I be locked out of act 3 if I defeat the Final boss without using the needolin?

[smoky bridge]

Huh, act 1 Blue vesticrest is impossible. Shame.

[still osprey]

No, you cannot lock yourself out of Act 3

[prisma star]

Will the final boss spawn again or something? how does that work

[sharp slate]

cant lock yourself out of anything thats a % anyway i think, there is a softlock in the game but you have to be trying really fucking hard to get that xD

[fallow sorrel]

Beat her and the game puts you back right before you beat her, pretty much any metroidvania does this

[still osprey]

Yea the game doesn't just delete your save file or anything you can still play

[fallow sorrel]

You can still lock yourself out of an ending though

[prisma star]

...alright, I guess

[twilit lichen]

Is the game getting on sale in spring sale

[fallow sorrel]

Could do

[sharp slate]

i dont think anyone knows, but i wouldnt be suprised

[twilit lichen]

Well is spring sale usually better than winter or not

[sharp slate]

it went on sale in winter which is suprising

i would guess its gonna be same since its so new so 16$ probs

[twilit lichen]

Its 8$ for me cuz regional pricing

[sharp slate]

just guessing though, i dont think there is way to predict steam sales, though maybe there is some secret xD

[twilit lichen]

You rickrolled me twice

[sharp slate]

rip another one, i really need to just replace those with my youtube videos

i really didnt realize how many people click on profiles lmfao

Moss Grotto, halfway the way up. It's marked on the map like every other Weaver door you've spotted

[toxic arch]

BARNAKS CAN EAT COGFLIES??

[still osprey]

[tawny dome]

I am trying to fill out as much of the map as possible, and the Chef Lugoli secret room isnt showing, even when I have gone in it multiple times.
What the hell do I do

[mental swallow]

[near mirage]

w wiki

[sharp slate]

you did bench i assume

[tawny dome]

Correct

[vocal aurora]

where did old lady go

[sharp slate]

hmmm odd, there is a secret room in lugolis area, but that shouldnt be needed to fill out the map

[vocal aurora]

the one that wakes u up after u pass out

[sharp slate]

bizarre

[tawny dome]

Yeah, I am trying to log the secret room, but it isnt appearing

[sharp slate]

secret room my not appear on map let me double check

[kind narwhal]

HOLY IS THAT A JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURES REFERENCE???

[vocal aurora]

oh nvm i foudn her

[sharp slate]

oh it does log weird, never noticed

[sharp slate]

maybe try getting the needlolin dialogue there

[vocal aurora]

little lamp guy

in weavenest

[sharp slate]

i doubt that will trigger it though

[tawny dome]

I have been doing that

[old thicket]

I hate when I’m fighting ||Lost Lac|| and then I become locked out and enter mistake flow like I just can’t stop messing up after the first mistake and then I die

[icy crow]

Something I've noticed is that this channel has been calmer as of lately

[mossy heath]

looks like a sink

[icy crow]

Did I miss something

[cloud parcel]

abt to fight ||lost lace||, wish me luck!

[old thicket]

I mean a lot of people already beat hollow knight and silksong and have done enough playthroughs or speedruns for their satisfaction and moved onto other things so I imagine thats part of it

[icy crow]

I'd recommend using Cross Stitch and adapting to it for that one if you haven't yet

[icy crow]

No, I mean active people who talked here even after beating the game

[cloud parcel]

cross stitch is the ONLY silk skill i’ve used since I got it

[tawny dome]

Yeah

[mossy heath]

love cross stitch dude i havent used any silk skills other than that and pale nails

[old thicket]

Yeah I imagine they got bored and moved on with their lives or just forgot the server existed or something it could be something else though, their lives got busy or something I don’t know

[tawny dome]

I am just trying too hard to be a complete completionist of my current save file

[icy crow]

It's the optimal way for getting out of a finnicky situation in Steel Soul

[old thicket]

Make sure you have plenty of shell shards, I learned that the hard way and now I struggle to find efficient shell shard farming spots in the ||abyss in the same area as the lost lace fight||

[cloud parcel]

i have max shell shards

[icy crow]

Apparently the ones I'm thinking of got banned from here

Not gonna dig into it though 🤷‍♂️

[old thicket]

Unless you’re like doing a thing where you only use your needle or only silk skills, best of luck then

[icy crow]

Lost Lace is very doable without using tools honestly

[cloud parcel]

ty

[icy crow]

It's just her but voided

[cloud parcel]

yeah

[icy crow]

About two new attacks and that's it

[cloud parcel]

now that you say it, voided enemies are hard coded to do 2 damage so barbed bracelet is js a needle buff

[rocky jolt]

bro said two new attacks

[icy crow]

Iirc it does not apply to Lost Lace but you can check the wiki

[cloud parcel]

oh

[mossy heath]

i won’t lie i havent played silksong in a long while
anyway have y’all encountered any bugs during your time playing it

[old thicket]

I’ve heard, I just have massive skill issue with her but that’s just me I guess, I’m also fighting her on laptop, which is interesting, I took a break from her and silksong so now I need to refamiliarize myself with her mechanics and fighting pattern 🥀

[cloud parcel]

yeah about 225

[icy crow]

True 100% is basically 100% completion and Materium filled

[sharp slate]

it applies only to some her attacks

[rocky jolt]

gurrs cage didnt work properly

[cloud parcel]

could’ve encountered 7 more but

[rocky jolt]

there was also hornet

[mossy heath]

i havent paid attention to speedrunning either what’s the world record rn

[icy crow]

Only the ones where she directly uses void are not damage boosted, right?

[tawny dome]

Which I already have +All Mementos and (non steel soul) journal entries

[lucid forum]

i still have to complete the materium.. finding some stuff there is kinda hard..

[icy crow]

Steel Soul basically has only one additional Journal entry lol

[lucid forum]

that or I don't know where they could be

[icy crow]

You might want it for the perfected Journal though

That empty spot next to Lost Lace feels so off

[tawny dome]

I know right 😭

[sharp slate]

yea, pretty sure, though i think void waves are still 4 masks

[icy crow]

Thankfully, Summoned Saviour is just a flying Void Mass with dashing capabilities

So you can either beat it to death or do the same via tools

[lusty grove]

I quit the game in this exact frame, does it count as a death?

[icy crow]

You cannot pause when the death cutscene plays iirc

[lusty grove]

I used alt+f4

[light swan]

hop on and check

[tawny dome]

I think I have killed all void masses

[lusty grove]

DAMMIT

[light swan]

did you kill the one in bonegrave

[tawny dome]

Let me check

[mossy heath]

your not allowed to give up rn gng keep up the songsilking

[lusty grove]

...well, it was just 44 minutes

I can do all that again

[north hedge]

after fighting her a 2nd time i must say Lace 2 has improved alot her fight is so fun

[sharp slate]

rip

[vocal aurora]

is moss mother duo just 2 moss mothers

[tawny dome]

Keeping the BoneGrave Covetous Pilgrim alive lol

[vocal aurora]

I think thats a yes

[mossy heath]

yo chat i did the things all the people in this discord do and flexed my achievements am i tuff or what

[static sluice]

Is lost verdania required for 100%?

[north hedge]

it's where 2 bosses are so yeah

[static sluice]

Okay

[still osprey]

No, not for 100% completion

But if you want to see everything in the game, yea, you should do Verdania

[static sluice]

So i have 12h left to get that 5%

[north hedge]

oh i thought you had to fight all the bosses for 100%

[spark anchor]

im ngl seth should've been an act 2 boss

[still osprey]

Nah, 100% is just things like items, upgrades, etc

[spark anchor]

like he could be fought in act 2 but it's practically worthless until act 3

[static sluice]

I have 95% with 18h 30m playtime
am going for the under 30h achievement

Is the court of crows also required

[still osprey]

Nope

[static sluice]

I got the summoning for it btw

[still osprey]

Crawfather is not required for 100%

[static sluice]

I still don't know what triggers it i didn't get it in ky first playthrough

[still osprey]

It's just random

[icy crow]

Did you get all Tools, Spool Fragments and Mask Shards?

Tool Pouches and Crafting Kits also give 1% each along with Silk Hearts

[static sluice]

Alright
Am gonna follow the guide I am following until i finish the game 100%
And then will return to complete all other things

[static sluice]

Missing 2 tools and one silk skill

I have all upgrades and silk hearts

[still osprey]

Well there you go that's probably 3% already

[static sluice]

Cant send images to show you my inventory

[icy crow]

Did you perhaps get Quick Sling?

It is one of the more hidden tools

[still osprey]

What about needle upgrades? Do you have all of them?

[static sluice]

I literally just upgraded the final upgrade

[still osprey]

Alright nice

[icy crow]

Can you also name what skills you got

[still osprey]

What about Eva? Have you bound her?

[static sluice]

Am only missing pale nails

[static sluice]

Yes

[icy crow]

You should return the way you started act three and look for a way to climb higher

Pale Nails is located in the area where you fought Grandmother Silk

Bind her severed arm

[static sluice]

Gonna go there anyway for the mushroom guy

[lusty grove]

FUCK THE MIST

[static sluice]

There is an achievement for it

[icy crow]

Don't forget the Surface Memento aswell

[static sluice]

This

[icy crow]

Doesn't give 1% but it counts for Materium

[static sluice]

Well am not going for literally everything

[lusty grove]

Sinner's Road -> The Mist -> Bilewater -> Putrified Ducts might just be the worst sequence of areas Team Cherry ever made

[static sluice]

I want to get the platinum trophy for silksong
I need the mushroom ending
Steel soul
100% under 30h ( my current run)
100% in general
Getting all maps ( i believe lost verdania is the last one)
And i think thats it

[foggy crystal]

The mist is cool at least, also bilewater is a nice parkour area tho

[icy crow]

Steel Soul has both a normal and 100% completion achievement

[lusty grove]

the Mist ended way too many of my Steel Soul runs, and Groal runback makes Bilewater as a whole worse

[static sluice]

Steel heart isn't available in the ps4 trophies for some reason

[icy crow]

That's odd

[static sluice]

So i don't have to do it

[north hedge]

i wish Gms was harder

[static sluice]

Oh wait

[tight meadow]

How does Styx make the silk eaters

[static sluice]

Oh shit

I need the hunter's memento for an achievement

[foggy crystal]

The mist is really hard, but that’s the whole point of it. About groal runback, idrk, i beat it first try

[static sluice]

Well gonna grind for that later

[icy crow]

That one isn't hard but grindy

Some enemies have like 15 required kills and only show up in two spots

[foggy crystal]

I mean, the reward from the mist is more than worth

[lusty grove]

room guessing game! which room is this?

[static sluice]

Let me see how many i have

[static sluice]

Abbys bench

[foggy crystal]

Radiance’s bedroom

Secret area on the slab

[spark anchor]

[static sluice]

I entered act 3 like half an hour ago so i still remember the room

[lusty grove]

it's the same room, it counts as being correct

[spark anchor]

for your own sanity don't do coral tower in enemy randos

even with bosses disabled

[cloud parcel]

IVE GOTTEN TO THIS STUPID LOST LACE FINAL PHASE TWICE AND DIED AS SOON AS I REACHED A FLOW STATE

[spark anchor]

for some reason the enemy rando considers shakra as a regular enemy and not a boss

which room is this?

[spark anchor]

hmm

[cloud parcel]

somewhere in abyss

[spark anchor]

ancient egg abyss room

[static sluice]

That lava Parkour

[lusty grove]

yes, but where?

[static sluice]

Idk it's name

[icy crow]

Lost Lace has a break between her four phases by the way

[static sluice]

When you escape the abyss

[icy crow]

If you think you're close you're quite far than you think yet

[icy crow]

Skull Cave

[static sluice]

Tip: don't run a lot

[lusty grove]

[leaden delta]

[strange knot]

Why is one cycle bell beast so hard

[slender juniper]

Quiting silksong

[still osprey]

I haven't played mio because I hate the letters M, I and O

[desert compass]

I havent played mio because silksong is too big of a game so my 5 gb laptop cant handle it /hj

[exotic cedar]

I havent played mio because shit cannot run on my laptop

And people said it could run easily

[light swan]

mio takes less than silksong

[graceful oyster]

SIlk SOMg

[exotic cedar]

I couldnt even open the game

[still osprey]

Which silksong song should I listen to rn

[slender juniper]

Everyone wish me luck time for shitwork core

[graceful oyster]

The main menu isn't resource intensive

[rocky jolt]

purple maiden

[desert compass]

silksong is forever goated for being able to be played in my 4gb ram office laptop ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

[light swan]

isnt silksong like 7-8 gb

[exotic cedar]

Atleast it gave me more time to grind dead cells

[slender juniper]

Shitwork core because thats what the parkour feels like

[light swan]

mio is 4

[slender juniper]

@strange knot

[desert compass]

goodluck

[light swan]

[strange knot]

Cog core is peak tho

Got my second fragless win

[graceful oyster]

Definitely that Haven one for sure

Everyone misses the Haven one

[strange knot]

Haven is so beautiful

[light swan]

which one

chaxel, cos, or the other one

[slender juniper]

Only if youre not a hunter main

[light swan]

is it the one nextr to overseer

[graceful oyster]

In that one empty room on a ledge, you need strid

[strange knot]

Wdym I do cog core with hunter

[graceful oyster]

No

[light swan]

this one?

[graceful oyster]

Yes

[light swan]

didnt know that was a common one to miss

[slender juniper]

You know the strugl les

[graceful oyster]

For 3 of my friends that was one of if not their last candles

[main urchin]

Does any regular Souls boss have as bad of a run back as hidden bench-less Groal?

[light swan]

my steal sol% knowledge is coming in handy rn

routing every candle paid off

[cinder nova]

im going blind into silksong from hollow knight, ive heard its difficult as hell, is this true?

[light swan]

eh kind of

[stable pivot]

somewhat

[exotic cedar]

Not THAT bad

[stable pivot]

yeah

its js gonna be annoying at some points

[cinder nova]

can yall gimme a difficulty rating of hk and sk from 1-10?

[rocky jolt]

6-7/10

[cinder nova]

[spark anchor]

the learning curve is wayy steeper

but you'll eventually learn how bosses and exploration really works

[cinder nova]

is it harder than sekiro or smth

[light swan]

hk 7/10 silksong 8/10

[spark anchor]

and why common enemies deal double damage

[cinder nova]

oh ok

[stable pivot]

nah

[sharp slate]

i think learning curve is sharper in silksong but late game is easier imo, healing is just so fricken strong/abusable once you get the hang out of it

[light swan]

id say red is hk and green is silksong

[cinder nova]

oh that makes more sense thanks

[stable pivot]

holy visual learning

silksong doesnt have anything absrad level yet

and in those bosses you practically cant heal outside of staggers or super niche scenarios

[desert compass]

you know that one phrase that goes like base hollow knight is a tutorial for silksong? It does hold true, the difficulty rating of sk lessens when you have already played hk.

hk - 5/10
sk - 8/10

in my eyes atleast when you realize compared to sk you can just tank a lot of things in hk

[cinder nova]

here i thought the platforming in hk was hard what 😭

[rocky jolt]

ive died more to hornet sentinel and nkg than any silksong boss

[glacial kelp]

hk platforming is just like white palace

[cinder nova]

what

[desert compass]

oh no platforming in hk is still hard but its like one massive place, silksong has mini path of pains for us

[rocky jolt]

is it just me or does hk not prepare you enough for white palace

[desert compass]

yeah no it doesnt

[rocky jolt]

doesnt matter cuz i beat path of pain in 2 hours

[spark anchor]

oh yeah make sure to look for suspicious walls. you'll also find a lot of important secret passageways

[stable pivot]

lowkey path of pain felt harder than the parkour in silksong

that might be just me tho idk

[desert compass]

what do yall think was harder path of pain or the climb to the surface

[cinder nova]

even more exploration

[spark anchor]

a lot of players in silksong don't know about the mist entrance in sinner's road

[main urchin]

Ok Silksong is way harder for platforming

[rocky jolt]

the only area with pogo balls is fungal wastes

[glacial kelp]

path of pain is literally an optional platforming challenge

[rocky jolt]

dawg surface climb was so easy

[stable pivot]

path of pain for me idk

[glacial kelp]

surface climb barely counts

[rocky jolt]

just get used to the same pattern of jumps

[stable pilot]

Coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb

[main urchin]

Good news: in hollow knight they didn’t explode

[rocky jolt]

also surface climb is called border caves

[main urchin]

Other way round

[desert compass]

I struggled more with surface idk what to say 💔

[spark anchor]

those are only the bilewater grapes

[stable pilot]

Fym

[desert compass]

path of pain highkey easy like AFTER you play silksong ill be honest

[stable pilot]

Obviously a baby is stronger than a bomb

[main urchin]

That was just a name on a meme map

[rocky jolt]

we got offensive pogo balls in sk 💔

[stable pivot]

tripping

[stable pivot]

prolly yeah havent played since silksong tho

[desert compass]

my bad king

[light swan]

definitely

[rocky jolt]

border caves must be the name in the code

[cinder nova]

what hell do you have to go through to think path of pain is easy

[glacial kelp]

bomb baby vs coughing hydrogen

[main urchin]

Baby boomer vs coughing hydrogen

[still osprey]

Path of Pain is easy in general

[spark anchor]

no clawline and no drifter's cloak is gonna be hard to get used to again when playing as the tungsten knight

[cinder nova]

coughing bomb vs hydrogen baby

[rocky jolt]

mt fay was the hardest section in silksong

[sharp slate]

i honestly didnt find parkour bad at all in silksong

cogwork core was bad but thats because of the bullshit gear hitboxes

[light swan]

i didnt like clawline spam it feels boring

[glacial kelp]

the average difficulty is higher than hk

[light swan]

and slow too since silk hearts

[main urchin]

U n d e r w o r k s

[spark anchor]

when would you prefer flea brew over flintslate

[glacial kelp]

though if you know what youre doing its far easier

[spark anchor]

i tend to use flintslate more since brew's extra movement speed kinda messes me up

[glacial kelp]

the skill ceiling is higher

[sharp slate]

for parkour i guess

[spark anchor]

also running back to restock sucks

[desert compass]

coughing bomb vs hydrogen baby

[rocky jolt]

i think using clawline on those rings shouldnt spend silk

[light swan]

flea brew activates faster

[sharp slate]

its just that silksong has alot more tools so they could do a lot more with parkour

[spark anchor]

mmm true

but when is that a big difference

[glacial kelp]

hydrogen baby bomb vs cough

[light swan]

i think they shouldn’t be rings but insyead be those mt fay enemies

[desert compass]

hydrogen vs baby bomb cough

[light swan]

that way uou get silk, it’s not slow boring movement, and you bounce which is cooler

[spark anchor]

the skull fliers and driftlins? yea

[rocky jolt]

being able to just be stationary with clawline is pretty cool tho

[glacial kelp]

the rings are fine since you can chill in them for a while

[desert compass]

blocking the hits from the verdania enemies genuinely feels like fighting a wall

[main urchin]

Mount Fay has rings too I think

[light swan]

and i think it’s boring in terms of movement

[desert compass]

I gotta spam that to survive 💔

what i DONT fw is that ONE RING in the sprintmaster area

where you DONT bounce if you go through it the other way

[spark anchor]

which enemy

the scallion?

[desert compass]

yes

did you know I figured out late into act 3 that you could block projectiles by hitting them

it took me until karmelita’s fight 😭😭😭 and I genuinely just thought I was buns at the game

[desert compass]

no gif perms

[simple orbit]

god every trip to haven is a blessing

[stable pivot]

slime me out bro

[stable pivot]

ts sent me

[desert compass]

my bad king

I didnt know there was levels to silksong

[full rune]

and where did it send you

[rocky jolt]

theres interesting stuff that silk soar could be used for in harder platforming sections

[desert compass]

it sent him to coral tower

[stable pivot]

NO

[spark anchor]

only applies to non-liquid projectiles

[void moat]

damn send me too

[spark anchor]

well most sharp projectiles atleast

[full rune]

ts sent me silk soarin

(coral tower)

[stable pivot]

I lowkey died like 50 smth times in the coral tower

[desert compass]

WE yes WE will enjoy fighting ALL of CKK’s soldiers

[stable pivot]

STOP
