[tight hull]

is bilewater really a bile water?

[smoky bridge]

Gurr collects trophies.

[verbal steeple]

no one likes gurr

[finite atlas]

I want a 'back to hallownest' dlc...

[smoky bridge]

I like gurr

[verbal steeple]

you don't exist

[unkempt steeple]

and that's where we get answers about bell beast lore plus a rematch with her kids

[verbal steeple]

never seen anyone be excited about being captured by gurr

the dude just appears randomly

[unkempt steeple]

I wonder how badly the cidadel treated bell beasts

[restive ibex]

Okay but why don't they just cook and eat all the maggots out of the water though. Seems easier than farming asshole dogs

[verbal steeple]

how did he get to the citadel

[rocky jolt]

the nostalgia baiting is insane

[verbal steeple]

he has a grand reed as a trophy. how did his fat ass get into the citadel

[smoky bridge]

Sneeky

[verbal steeple]

stupid skarr

[unkempt steeple]

more meat

[finite atlas]

I'm all for it

[rocky jolt]

of course you are

[subtle lynx]

NO.

[tight hull]

maggots to small

[smoky bridge]

Maggots are probably really nasty taste wise.

[finite atlas]

Why not

[unkempt steeple]

he probably lured one out

[smoky bridge]

Lugoli is deranged.

[tight hull]

back to hk abyss dlc

[verbal steeple]

who the hell is lugoli

[willow turtle]

Oh nice i just killed (LATE GAME BOSS SPOILERS) ||gurr the outcast||

[verbal steeple]

do you mean ass jim

[unkempt steeple]

no way the choir bugs never leave the cidadel into pharloom if they've left pharloom entirely

[smoky bridge]

Gurr.

[subtle lynx]

I want new stuff

[crude geyser]

What does killing zango gives you

[subtle lynx]

not hallownest again

[restive ibex]

That's like saying rice is too small 😭

[smoky bridge]

I agree.

[subtle lynx]

I already didn't like void in this game

[verbal steeple]

why the angry face

[smoky bridge]

Dead Zango

[finite atlas]

I aint saying just copy and paste Hollow Knight hallownest into Silksong dawg

[tight hull]

no way! congrats for killing (LATE GAME BOSS SPOILERS)

[restive ibex]

Get a fucking bowl my dudes

[subtle lynx]

well, you said hallownest back

[smoky bridge]

No Idea who Late Game Boss Spoilers is, but they sound cool.

Back.

[willow turtle]

Gurr the outcast

[smoky bridge]

Typing echolalia is funny.

[verbal steeple]

more like Gurr the stupid

[finite atlas]

Back to hallownest, perhaps hundreds of years later
unsure if Silksong is set way in the future

[tight hull]

late game boss spoilers is my fav boss fr

[finite atlas]

Familiar but not the same, that'd be dumb yeah

[willow turtle]

We love late game boss spoilers

[unkempt steeple]

Idk if back to hallownest would really be that interesting especially now that the infection is gone

just a huge empty kingdom full of corpses

[tight hull]

and what we'd be doing there

[smoky bridge]

I wish garmind duel didn't involve him seemingly unsure on how his own attacks work.

[subtle lynx]

we need a "fixing what act 3 did" dlc so the game can be playable again🔥

[unkempt steeple]

yeah like are we just gonna replay hk? lol

[finite atlas]

Living things find a way to continue
Nations don't stop moving because a war ended

[subtle lynx]

we could also get the coral courge and verdania back again

[willow turtle]

Act 4 🔥

[unkempt steeple]

yeah but it's still pretty empty

[smoky bridge]

Hornet the fixer DLC
Forklift crest.

[verbal steeple]

sherma has taken over hallownest

[plucky jungle]

what is yall favorite boss

[verbal steeple]

actually no. ELDERBUG has taken over hallownest and u must team up with the PURE vessel to beat the elderbug

[unkempt steeple]

like no way hallownest is back to being full of life after the radience killed every single living bug

[tight hull]

late game boss spoilers

[restive ibex]

It's probably lifeblood hell by now

[subtle lynx]

look at his pfp

[verbal steeple]

do u guys think elderbug survived

[unkempt steeple]

no bc I killed him

[smoky bridge]

Hallownest didn't have Heisenbug injecting random stuff with Lifeblood tho.

[verbal steeple]

i hate pilby. always make him die.

[restive ibex]

Joni kind of did

[finite atlas]

It did not kill every single bug?

[subtle lynx]

that mod that lets you kill elder bug is so brutal

[smoky bridge]

Joni is dead.

[subtle lynx]

geniunely, heartbreaking

[plucky jungle]

why

[brazen patrol]

hey sliksong fans! just got into the game... and wow!

[smoky bridge]

Pilby my fren

[verbal steeple]

he's stupid

[brazen patrol]

smash hit for sure!

[earnest drift]

lost lace

[subtle lynx]

I hate that we don't see him after pilgrims rest

[restive ibex]

Yeah, just like the researchers. The pale king successfully contained lifeblood a long time ago, and the knight released as much of that shit as possible lol

[tight hull]

yeah because he discovered lifeblood and turned into a new lifeblood pale being that does lifeblood, consumes and spills lifeblood and he did his new lifeblood family and lifeblood kingdom and friends lifeblood

[plucky jungle]

i wish we saw him in shell wood

[unkempt steeple]

still it's not nearly enough to get hallownest back and again, what would be the purpose gameplay and story wise to go back to hallownest? we did everything in hk and I doubt hornet can do much more

[verbal steeple]

i hope he appears in sea of sorrow and lets you DROWN HIM IN IT

[unkempt steeple]

it sounds cool in concept but there's no real purpose to go back

[subtle lynx]

https://youtu.be/TMzNnnCdBDQ?si=4Pxvfy_UMkMp7Iln

[subtle lynx]

NO

[restive ibex]

But yes there's absolutely no reason to go to hollow nest, even if I'd like to have seen more in the red memory

[subtle lynx]

we already failed myla, not pilby

[tight hull]

LEYTSSSSSSGOOOOOOO

[verbal steeple]

I WILL KILL PILBY A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE I LET HIM LIVE

[unkempt steeple]

unless a plot twist happens and we find out hallownest got completly revamped or smth

[subtle lynx]

I'll let him live 2 thousand times just to make up for your murders

[finite atlas]

Places change, people make more people
There could be so many reasons

[unkempt steeple]

but by then what's the point of going back if it's just basically a new kingdom

[verbal steeple]

"WAAAH WAHH I can't survive rhinoguard and skull tyrant :(((((((((" SHERMA DID IT IN A CAVE WITH JUST 2 METAL RODS

[summer locust]

wait until he finds ||shrine guardian seth||

[tight hull]

😭

[subtle lynx]

sherma has an hypnotizing weapon

[verbal steeple]

HE MADE THAT WITH JUST 2 METAL RODS

[tight hull]

why this fleas so rich

[restive ibex]

Recycling art is faster? I guess?

[summer locust]

insert iron man gif here

[unkempt steeple]

imo it makes way more sence to go to city of steel than hallownest with how it has been set up

[subtle lynx]

nah city of steel feels too fan coded

and doesn't fit in the game

[verbal steeple]

discord gifs be doing everything BUT loading whenever its the perfect time for a joke

[summer locust]

nah, i just dont have image perms yet

[restive ibex]

Wut if da city of steel was da hallownest all along?

[verbal steeple]

i meant for me

[summer locust]

300 is a lot

[tight hull]

city of lifeblood😼

[finite atlas]

Sure but I just said it'd be cool if they did smthn with hallownest
What makes sense is going to new places of course

[verbal steeple]

what if the city of steel was actually the city of SORROW

and it was actually in a SEA

[restive ibex]

That's stupid.

[unkempt steeple]

wdym fan coded

[subtle lynx]

like a city in a sea of sorrow?

[summer locust]

whats city of steel

[tight hull]

city with steels

[unkempt steeple]

huh?

[plucky jungle]

nah im hoping we see him pilby in pharloom bay as a small little pirate

[subtle lynx]

idk, I don't see how it could fit in the game

[restive ibex]

It's a Sharpe city

Careful

[summer locust]

ah yes i love sharpie city

[manic blade]

Hi

[restive ibex]

Be funny if there were just no NPCs or lore if you weren't playing steel soul

[unkempt steeple]

fit how? we barely know anything

[restive ibex]

In that hypothetical area

[subtle lynx]

I already am not playing steel soul

[tight hull]

crustynuts city

[manic blade]

I just play it for fun

[unkempt steeple]

someone here once said it could a roguelite which sounds cool even if it has no evidence

[coarse leaf]

[subtle lynx]

a silksong roguelike gamemode would be pretty dope

but it could get old soon

would be cool as a mod

[trim estuary]

the boss rushes should be roguelite

[subtle lynx]

nah

[restive ibex]

It's just khanns tower but endless

[trim estuary]

yah

[unkempt steeple]

depends on how simple team cherry makes it, splatoon's rougelite dlc was pretty short, basically 100%'ed it in a week

which tbf for a dlc for a non-roguelike game idk how complicated they'd be willing to make it lol

[restive ibex]

Down by the bay

[subtle lynx]

God of war Ragnarok did it for free and it ended up being better than the base game lol

[tight hull]

silksong but if you die you're cloakless until you get your cocoon again

[unkempt steeple]

never played the ragnarok roguelite I should try it one day

[subtle lynx]

It is really fun

[tight hull]

wheres that guy that upgrades your nail

[restive ibex]

He went for a walk

[tight hull]

where

[subtle lynx]

In the shellwood funeral

[tight hull]

ok

[restive ibex]

To get some smokes

[versed current]

Silksong bad

[raw pawn]

WAIT BARBED BRACELET DOESN'T INCREASE THE DAMAGE OF VOIDED ENEMIES???

Is that the case with Lost Garmond and Lost Lace tho

[slim thorn]

what?

[raw pawn]

They still deal 2 masks only

[near breach]

I finally defeated lost lace today

[tight hull]

thats because theyre already buffed ig

[tribal scroll]

If barbed bracelet was a 50% buff then I'd consider it but 25 is too small

[near breach]

Now I needa defeat tormented trobbio, karmelita and watcher at the edge I think

[raw pawn]

The wiki says yes it does work with lost lace

[tribal scroll]

How did anyone find watcher at the edge the first time lmao

[near breach]

Didn't work for me

[wild owl]

best red tools for nyleth?

[verbal steeple]

iirc it was 75% at first but got nerfed to 25%

[dim arch]

Drill

[versed current]

Atom bomb

i just need to buy the shi

[scarlet karma]

yuh

[old raft]

19hrs 12m 14s
is this pace to get speed completion?!

[dawn needle]

For crests in my experience, the easiest crest to defeat gms with is Hunter, and the most fun is Beast

[tight hull]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-silksong-hornet-trobbio-dramatic-death-gif-4926813514533061211

[scarlet karma]

oh you changed ur pfp

nice

[tight hull]

whats the meaning of that me when beans gif

[scarlet karma]

inside joke

passed down by generations

[tight hull]

😔what joke?

[dawn needle]

I wish having the beast crest affected the taunt when challenging gms

[prime vale]

How does that work

[dawn needle]

Haven't seen that one a million shawing times

[prime vale]

I dislike last judge

[cerulean sable]

what if Faraway was in the top of Pharloom and you gotta go up and kick Sunny's shit in

[dawn needle]

Itll get worse

[prime vale]

First sinner is gonna make me snap my switch in half I still haven't killed last judge

I hate fire

[rotund peak]

It is if you know exactly what you have to do

[rocky jolt]

six seveen

[tight hull]

no

[light isle]

I WANTGT SEA PF SORRROOWWSSS

[tranquil flame]

guys, what's the reward of doing this arena at the top right of deep docks ? https://youtube.com/shorts/Bgl1PCseVvc?si=Om2_oVVSsdxg6q1X

[minor sparrow]

that might be the mask shard one

[tranquil flame]

damn so it is indeed important

I die to second or third wave

[minor sparrow]

It's the one by far fields right?

[tranquil flame]

uhh wait. i will see if I can show you where it is

[minor sparrow]

Wait that's marrow/docks lmao

[zealous elk]

i don't know if it's just me, but i feel like in Sea of Sorrow, or perhaps another free DLC/update, the bottom space of the map will be another area. just look at how much space there is!!!! or, perhaps, this is just where the rest of the Abyss is; assuming that the Abyss is always down there somewhere no matter where you are and it just stretches on infinitely.

[old raft]

noooooo i suck so much i choked the sub1 gms kill 😭

i got caught once 😭

[rocky jolt]

too bad its gonna be bilewater

[zealous elk]

sigh,, yet more bilewater content,,, why must you make bilewater one of the biggest areas in the game, team cherry? why...

[shy hill]

I’m in mental agony trying to do the most 😭

Mist*

[tranquil flame]

yeah. I made a screen recording but the channel doesn't have send feature.

[minor sparrow]

You want the answer straight?

[shy hill]

I’m scared, go on

[minor sparrow]

Use your needolin

[old raft]

guys i am in act3 now
there is a world i can just instantly die in the void arena

I AM SO SCARED

[shy hill]

I know how to do it, it’s THE DAMN BANSHIES AND THE FACT YOU RESET IF YOU FALL

[old raft]

do i turn on cheat

[minor sparrow]

Gogo gadget 4 mask fight start

[old raft]

i have 8 masks already and i forgot where the rest are

[minor sparrow]

You can also save quit before the arena and it'll give your masks back

[mental arch]

is 22 masks enough to fight the third sinner

[old raft]

ye i know that but i am stilll scaed

[minor sparrow]

Maybe not

[minor sparrow]

Ah

[mental arch]

ya my nail is only +7 xd

[shy hill]

And I heard the boss fight in exhaust organ was pretty hard too… is that right?

[minor sparrow]

Eh

It's aight

In terms of A1 bosses, it's on the harder end but the competition isn't steep

[spark anchor]

no

unless you found hornet sentinel in hk hard

[tight viper]

Pinstress is fun

[spark anchor]

after doing enemy rando for 20+ hours god adding pinstress is gonna make it even worse

shakra's already the worst enemy to appear in a rando since she can teleport to you from ANYWHERE

[tight viper]

She's not in that mod yet?

[spark anchor]

no, but they recently added phantom, karmelita and khann

[tight viper]

figured she would've been added by now

[spark anchor]

she doesn't seem that restrictive compared to nyleth or fourth chorus

just a fatass bird

i'd imagine the next update that adds enemies will include her and seth

[tight viper]

might be something to do with the wind and her float

[spark anchor]

maybe lace and lace 2

i don't think the environment affects her. she has bullshit to make her float

[tight hull]

what you guys think about this psalm cylinder?

[spark anchor]

i play it in bellhart for everyone to hear

[tight hull]

😭

[prime vale]

I KILLED LAST JUDGE IM SO HAPPY

[magic crater]

congrats :D

[spark anchor]

if you were to put last judge in pantheons where would you place her

[prime vale]

Somewhere near the end

[restive ibex]

First pantheon second last boss? She's not that bad

[spark anchor]

idk i'd put widow in that spot, maybe as the penultimate boss

[unkempt steeple]

They're alright collectables, you get to add custom themes to your bellhome with them as well which is pretty cool

[tight hull]

I mean the audio of this one

[tawny dome]

A Mooshka bossfight would be cool if his attacks were summoning fleas that have the bells on their head

[tight hull]

and it would be like a mix of all the flea games

[unkempt steeple]

Ig if you're enough of a freak that's a good bellhome theme...

[old raft]

i frfekaing died in bell eater

its so fking jover

[tawny dome]

The flea juggle part would piss me off so bad

[unkempt steeple]

Flealia boss fight

[old raft]

I SHOULD HAVE JUST TURNED ON CHEAT

[unkempt steeple]

Acctually mooshka is the only flea that doesn't appear in a minigames

[old raft]

is there a way to cover my save

[tawny dome]

No, he appears in Flea Juggle after like 50 points

[restive ibex]

What neutral NPCs could we even fight aside from seamstress to take the roll of sly/nailmasters/paint master equivalents

[unkempt steeple]

Really? Only did barely enough for seth's memento so I never got that far

[tawny dome]

Yeah, and Flea Juggle is difficult so I don't blame you for not seeing him yet

[unkempt steeple]

I think we already fought all the npcs we could outsidd seamstress

[spark anchor]

shakra's master

[unkempt steeple]

Not really an npc more like a background prop😭

[tight hull]

what about that one that stays in the background near the score board

[unkempt steeple]

Same with the dead pinstress

[spark anchor]

that's so mean to say

[unkempt steeple]

Idk what kind of fight shakra's master would have, elder hu revamp maybe?

[odd hull]

Idk, but I would like a Vog fight

[prime vale]

Underworld is just only up

[restive ibex]

Vog I guess?

[tawny dome]

We AT LEAST should get Summoned Savior if silksong does get a Pantheon type system

[unkempt steeple]

Appears in flea juggle after enough points

[tight hull]

yeah? so theres the big flea on flea juggle?

[unkempt steeple]

Yes

Huge flea is in every minigame

[tight hull]

every flea is on flea jugglçe?

[tawny dome]

If Sharpe doesn't get added in a future DLC (he prob will), he should be added in as a Pantheon ending boss

[unkempt steeple]

No only the regular fleas, huge flea, flea brew flea and the three npc fleas from the first flea camp

[tawny dome]

Except Kratt and that one other flea

(And vog)

[unkempt steeple]

Kratt is in flea bounce and vog is in flea dodge

[tight hull]

I never got the huge flea on flea juggle (not that I spent much time on it)

[unkempt steeple]

He only appears like after 45 or smth iirc

[tawny dome]

Yeah

[unkempt steeple]

He appears earlier on in the other minigames

Or well, the other minigames have faster growing numbers

[tight hull]

yeah I love when he appears on the flea bounce

I got saved by him once

[unkempt steeple]

I think it's kinda weird flea brew is just made free in act 3 rather than us being given the recipe to brew it ourselves without having to return to fleatopia everytime

[restive ibex]

The biggest reason I don't spam brew tbh

It was wasteful to use it when learning a fight

Even though it's obscenely powerful

It's probably just boiled shell shards like everything else we use

[spark anchor]

this is why i like flintslate more

[tight hull]

is funny that flea brew in my language is smth like flea beer so the flea brew fleas are drunken fleas

[spark anchor]

roughly same dps increase + added DoT and works better on evasive bosses like THE SINNER

[winged mantle]

how do server tag's work?

[tawny dome]

I dont use red tools AT ALL due to me being too used to HK

[tight hull]

fr

[light swan]

@ancient mortar broooo YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG I TOOK TO DO THIS

laika: aged through blood spoilers

[tight hull]

how your obs videos are at mp4?

[unkempt steeple]

Brew is usually used to refer to wine or beer and it has effects on your body so it's definitly supposed to be alchool

[light swan]

idk some setting somewhere

[unkempt steeple]

We have injections in the form of plasmium and alchool in the form of flea brew, when are we getting a weed tool?

[tight hull]

bunch of drunk fleas charging at you

[gilded umbra]

Wise it of penny good the is

[spark anchor]

i'm starting to like needle strike a lot on hunter

[tight hull]

basically the fleas games

[gilded umbra]

Understand me not?

[unkempt steeple]

"Yoooo shakra you gotta try this man it's crazy"

Suspicious brownie red tool

[sly scaffold]

silksong tomorrow

[main turret]

Hm. So, I'm missing 4 entries in my journal and I have no idea which ones I'm missing

[tight hull]

sea of sorrow 2019🔥

[unkempt steeple]

Look up the list in the wiki

The wiki has them in order

[spark anchor]

funniest thing stilkin can do is instakill any other non-stilkin enemy with their grape darts

i found that out in an enemy rando when one killed last judge instantly

[main turret]

I'll check that out then, thank you lol

I just had to go back to Bilewater to get the maggots that jump out of the water at you because I apparently never killed any of them lmao

[tawny dome]

Use the entries around the missing ones as context clues

[unkempt steeple]

Understandable, they're only in one room

[main turret]

Well, the first one I was missing I probably just would not have ever guessed lol (the Cragglites)

[willow turtle]

When this happened i was just speechless.

[willow turtle]

It was the songclave supplies

[unkempt steeple]

The craggler and cragglites are so weird

[main turret]

Okay I think I also just figured out another one I'm missing because I did not know you could kill them until recently, the juvenile Judges

[unkempt steeple]

What is their purpose, why is the craggler almost a boss like zango and watcher

[willow turtle]

At least i did this today

[icy crow]

Clagger is literally not even close to a boss

Vro has only two moves

[main turret]

I literally just killed the Craggler and it was so funny because at first I tried using Sting shards, ran out and died, and then I was like "wait, why am I not using Architect?" and then I was like "wait Cogflies exist"

[unkempt steeple]

He has a roar that stuns you for some reason

And there's only one craggler

[icy crow]

No title card

The Skarrguard at the entrance to March also has a roar that stops Hornet

[main turret]

And now, to the Blasted Steps to commit infanticide :D

[unkempt steeple]

Iirc the cragglites can be seen in a trailer in a cut area so maybe the craggler was gonna more than just a random obstacle that nobody really cares about

[brisk zealot]

whos craggler bruh?

[unkempt steeple]

A random enemy that appears before wormways

[willow turtle]

I swear these courier quests keep feeling easier (I’m scared to do the mount fay one)

[main turret]

Big guy that chases you and spits acid, you can see it in the trailer

[brisk zealot]

oh lmao

[unkempt steeple]

There's only one craggler and he gets voided in act 3

[icy crow]

Yeah, I'm guessing another one will show up at Pharloom Bay

[tight hull]

whats the best tool to kill this thing

[main turret]

What if I do something mean and just throw tacks down before I start playing my needolin?

[main turret]

Cogflies made it comically easy

[willow turtle]

Cogflies

[brisk zealot]

theyll take damage i think

[coarse leaf]

hi

[brisk zealot]

helo

[main turret]

Yeah, just gonna spawncamp a bunch of juvenile Judges lmao

[spark anchor]

cogfly

[brisk zealot]

coggers

i hate cogflies

[tight hull]

why?

[main turret]

I feel like a bad person now lmfao

[brisk zealot]

silksong would be more fun without red tools

[spark anchor]

you have to remember that the last judge was one of them

[tight hull]

silksong but you got no pockets

[spark anchor]

this can grow into last judge

baby.

[tight hull]

tf is that

[brisk zealot]

it grew into last judge

[spark anchor]

judge grub

[tight hull]

aint lj like a robot?

[brisk zealot]

apparently not

[tight hull]

whats that ugly thing😭

[main turret]

I'm aware but they're just children and I lured them out to immediately die on tacks lmao

[spark anchor]

no

[brisk zealot]

they can be found in a room next to the grindle room if you play your needolin for like 30 sec

[spark anchor]

the robots are in the citadel

[willow turtle]

Probably not but i guess she can just explode and control fire naturally

[main turret]

Nope, those are juvenile Judges

[tight hull]

wait then this bugs are like naturally robot-like

[willow turtle]

I JUST SAW WHAT YOU WERE PLAYING IN YOUR PROFILE NOO

[spark anchor]

LMAO

[main turret]

Oh >-> I never killed the floaty dudes in the ascent to the surface. And then there's one I don't know that I'm guessing is in Cogwork Core

[willow turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-last-judge-death-gif-10261273771146646774

[tight hull]

poor pilgrims

[oblique patio]

Have you guys ever came into a really major / difficult fight and you were not at all prepared not like tools like not enough masks or insufficient needle damage

[willow turtle]

I mean it looks like she isnt robotic her torso and abdomen look natural (like not made of metal)

[brisk zealot]

with enough attemps anything can be done

toolless and hitless

[willow turtle]

Moorwing i think (mainly the fact that i hadnt even beat hornet 1 in hollow knight at the time)

I still beat moorwing before beating hornet 1 somehow though

[oblique patio]

I was completely not prepped for lost lace

[brisk zealot]

you found hornet harder ?

cope

[tight hull]

I had like only one and half hearts in tboi and got into the boss room acidentaly after using that damn item that teleports you to a random room

[main turret]

Gotta climb all the way back up the GODDAMN CRADLE

[willow turtle]

Nah

I just had a skill issue with hollow knight, hornet 1 is so much easier than moorwing

[brisk zealot]

LOL

[brisk zealot]

your statement was pretty irrelevant then

[earnest drift]

going by how long it takes to beat them for the first time, hornet 1 is the hardest boss in the series

[tight hull]

again😭

[brisk zealot]

idk bro difificulty is pretty subjective many people beat her in like 4 attempts

i think he is ragebaiting

[void moat]

khann's voice is cool i hope i meet the va some day

[brisk zealot]

seths design is pretty i cool i hope i.........

[void moat]

itd be nice to get my hands on some unedited voice files

[earnest drift]

no she literally took me longer to beat than absrad

like two weeks

[brisk zealot]

damn

[earnest drift]

both hk and sk have a difficulty curve issue which i think is due to the dmg enemies deal being very rigid

it's always 1, 2 or 3, can't have any number other than that

[brisk zealot]

u want half a mask of damage?

[tight hull]

you want enemies dealing 5 masks of dmg?

[main turret]

Okay how am I SUPPOSED to consistently kill one of these guys?

[brisk zealot]

i think he is ragebaiting

[earnest drift]

why not

[spark anchor]

the game uses a "heart" system for health rather than big number values like 150 hp or whatever

[tight hull]

half mask dont makes sense

[earnest drift]

yep

[spark anchor]

hk would be a MASSIVELY different game if that were the case

[solid grail]

I think the issue with HK and Skong is that they are both too easy at replays

[brisk zealot]

im crine

[solid grail]

And the only fix is Steel. souls which did nothing to the boss and only the runback

[brisk zealot]

thats not really an issue tho

which game is harder on a replay that doesnt artificially infalte difficulty ?

[visual mason]

Aren’t all games

[tight hull]

isn't every game (except some rougelikes/lites) easy at replay?

[brisk zealot]

"life is easier when u live a lot" ahh

[tight hull]

lol

[visual mason]

Lmao

[solid grail]

I mean a new game plus with difficulty increase

[brisk zealot]

thats artificial difficulty

[solid grail]

Blue Prince have curse mode

[brisk zealot]

its just inflating numbers

[solid grail]

Celeste have B-sides

[brisk zealot]

u think that would work for hk and skong?

[tight hull]

theres not even the 1st silksong dlc and you already want a new game?😭

[solid grail]

All the bosses could be their Ascended variant instead

[brisk zealot]

b sides and c sides arent replays..... theyre completely new levels

[solid grail]

On replays if you unlock the B cassettes you could play that instead of the A sides to complete the chapter

[main turret]

I'm struggling to kill ONE of these things, not even because they should be hard to kill, but because they're platforming obstacles

[prime vale]

Cogwork dancers are difficult

[brisk zealot]

its not a replay if youve never done it

[visual mason]

Ye it’s just addons

[brisk zealot]

see

and the game being easier on a replay feels really satisfying to me bcz i conquered these motherfuckers

hehe

[tight hull]

I don't think so, you can literally see where their attacks are going the whole fight

[brisk zealot]

what are u talking about?

[solid grail]

Your true I guess

Might be because I have done too many replays

[brisk zealot]

lol even sugar tastes bitter when u overdo it

[solid grail]

Now every time I play HK I always go for Brooding Mawlek as my first boss

[brisk zealot]

but i love silksong 😍 😍 😍 😍

[solid grail]

And use Hunter's March to Swift Step

[visual mason]

Lmao it’s the opposite for me, I lose passion after first play

[fathom saddle]

kill what

[solid grail]

The Double Enemies mod actually make things more fun in skong but sadly it doesn't exist in HK yet

Randos have that problem where the difficulty curve went down instead of up

[brisk zealot]

double enemies 😭

[solid grail]

And double bosses too

[neon geyser]

well that depends on the settings

[brisk zealot]

that DOES NOT sound fun 😭

[solid grail]

It is actually fun

CKK are actually threatening and isn't free

CD is also better

Both trobbios are way more fun

[brisk zealot]

whos ckk?

[rocky lotus]

Khann

[brisk zealot]

oh khann

[solid grail]

First Sinner is even more peak

Gurr actually requires strategy to do

Pinstress bugs out though

[brisk zealot]

we get it bro

🙏

[tight viper]

How much of the screen was completely off-limits at any given time?

[solid grail]

99%

[visual mason]

Is gurr vene possible

[tight viper]

Sounds about right lol

[solid grail]

I must strategically activate traps

I just beat him yesterday

[visual mason]

How long did it take

[scarlet karma]

lowkey phantom 2x is buns if ur speedrunning

[solid grail]

15 minutes

Phantom and last judge is a roadblock

[brisk zealot]

is the unravelled fun to do?

[solid grail]

I recommend skipping them on your first try

[tight hull]

i don't like them

[brisk zealot]

double unravelled

[tight viper]

I remember watching a double bosses video where someone tallied their total attempts per boss, Phantom was easily the highest

Double Unravelled sounds fun

[brisk zealot]

quintuplets signis and gronn

[tight hull]

https://youtu.be/xHRpVl1lp-M take a look at that lmao

[main turret]

I got it, it's the floating dudes in the ascent to the surface

[brisk zealot]

ts lowk looks fun

[main turret]

Only enemy I need now is something in Cogwork Core (presumably, anyway) but I've already been through the entire place, idk what I would be missing

[heavy mason]

Are the flea games necessary for 100%

[candid lodge]

no

[earnest drift]

yes?

[candid lodge]

you only get a memento (i think they were called like that) and they dont contribute to %

[earnest drift]

aren't they necessary for the pale oil needle upgrade

[candid lodge]

what?

[earnest drift]

shiny needle covered in flea fur

[ancient mortar]

You don't have to beat seths scores but you do need to beat the festival to get the oil i think. assuming needle upgrades contribute to a percent

[candid lodge]

oh.

i forgot about that my bad

[main turret]

Okay the wiki says there's supposed to be an encounter with just one of these Godwork Clappers and there's not one here >->

I found the double encounter, but not the single one

[main turret]

Wow this is annoying

Ha. Witch crest for the win

Oh, the single one wasn't there because act 3. Gotcha.

[inland sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-beastfly-gif-1643588580854591308

[scarlet karma]

sigma and gronk? that was a fun fight

[orchid locust]

sortnet

[light swan]

:)

[solid grail]

The second Signis immediately does for some reason

So it's just triplets

[main turret]

I was trying with Hunter, they were being annoying, so I grabbed Witch and they immediately imploded lmao

Also, uh, random question- where the hell am I supposed to find another Rhinoguard if the one in the far fields door died in act 3?

Or another Covetous Pilgrim... at all lmao

[prime vale]

IM AT TROBBIO YIPPE

[main turret]

Excuse me, a Rhinogrund >->

[orchid locust]

there's one in memorium and one in far fields straight right of lace

[main turret]

Yep, found it, and of course it's black threaded >-> yay

Love that

He is about to be a proud member of the Jumped By Cogflies Club

[earnest drift]

so why don't rhinogrunds, cogwork clappers or covetous pilgrims respawn

[muted cradle]

lace ur a larp

[earnest drift]

never

[muted cradle]

i’m joking

[earnest drift]

could it be that...
...they'll be in godhome?

[muted cradle]

i hate the rhinoguards

[earnest drift]

what's the correct way to fight rhinogrunds

[muted cradle]

they’re harder than the that one soul sanctum guy in hk

[earnest drift]

i always rely on longpin and skills to deal with them

[tribal scroll]

What happened to the other three choruses 🤔🤔🤔

[earnest drift]

maybe not good enemy design

[muted cradle]

cog work flies

[earnest drift]

don't they get blocked too

[muted cradle]

oh no

run

[earnest drift]

yeah according to hornet, you're supposed to use skills and tools

[light swan]

i pogo their butt when they charge

[earnest drift]

i don't think that's good design

[light swan]

it’s a useful skill

[earnest drift]

can you do it consistently

[light swan]

helps with first sinner too

[light swan]

i think so

[earnest drift]

ok then it's a fine enemy

[light swan]

it depends on if most people can do it consistently or if youre expected to do that

[tribal scroll]

"I should adjust my strategy as needed"
Hornet would be a great elden ring player

[muted cradle]

hornet is so cool

[earnest drift]

hornet is one of my favourite protagonists

because she kills children

[muted cradle]

OH

[main turret]

Cogflies and Curvesickles proved quite effective lol

[tribal scroll]

Can't even defend this, she canonically does 😭

[earnest drift]

i'm pretty sure curvesickles get deflected too

[tribal scroll]

Broodmother moment

[muted cradle]

long pin and cogflies work

also any explosive tool

[main turret]

Not if they curve and hit it in the back

[earnest drift]

do sting shards pierce blocking

[muted cradle]

i don’t think so

[earnest drift]

but don't they return at a higher level compared to the position they were thrown from? rhinogrunds are grounded enemies

[muted cradle]

they jump randomly for no reason

[rose forge]

Yes, that Long Pin also does.

[main turret]

If you space it properly it'll catch them right as it turns when it's closer to the ground

Plus, yes, they do jump

[earnest drift]

hm ok

[tight hull]

for the memorium one I just stayed at the part that it cant reach and keep hitting em, for the far fields one I just used poison cogflies and stayed where it wont notice me

[earnest drift]

is there a general guide for which tools pierce and which ones don't

[main turret]

Well damn, I was coming over to the Chapel of the Wanderer for elder pilgrims and I found a Covetous Pilgrim, I will take it lmao

[muted cradle]

50 rosaries

me when i kill grand reeds

with thief’s mark

[light swan]

https://tenor.com/view/average-witch-crest-speed-kill-gif-16326558384304353968

[tribal scroll]

Grand reeds are the Albinarurics in this game, they exist solely because they have one good farming spot

[spark anchor]

the rhinogrund is the most atrocious regular enemy ever conceived but it's only found thrice in the entire game

[rocky lotus]

but unlike albinaurics they are actually a threat

[main turret]

Grand Reeds make me wanna die

[muted cradle]

THERES THREE OF THEM?

[spark anchor]

one in the memorium
two in far fields, but the other only appears in act 3

[rose forge]

the act 3 one is such a jumpscare

also the same thing with moss mother

[main turret]

Wouldn't be so dumb if there weren't two of the damn things blocking off Cogwork Dancers and they're tall enough to make running past them annoying

[spark anchor]

how do you counter rhinogrunds without tools or skills

[rose forge]

theres a new moss mother in moss grotto in act 3

[rocky lotus]

pogo the charge

[spark anchor]

they're easy to dodge

[muted cradle]

oh wait i knew this

[rocky lotus]

thats the only thing i can think of

[spark anchor]

that just bounces off their hide

[muted cradle]

i just forgot to kill it in act 2

[rose forge]

The Moss Mother in act 3?

[spark anchor]

you can only hit them from the back

[muted cradle]

both this and rhinoguard

moss mother act three is easy

[main turret]

Oh yay, Lavalarga are next

[rose forge]

EASY bro

[main turret]

At least they're not the worst, I just don't like them lol

[rose forge]

Get evreything related to shaman

[rose forge]

Volt Fil shaman, All 3 Silk Hearts, Weavelight, and Pale Nails

[low wasp]

You can only give them backshots

[main turret]

Or alternatively, sting shards :D

I love this tool so much, it's not the best in the game, but it is canon Hornet in my eyes and I adore it

[tribal scroll]

Hollow Hornet

[muted cradle]

The Silksong

sister of The Hornet

[rocky lotus]

who is hornet

we play as the silksong

[muted cradle]

the hornet is from hollow knight

the hornet is the hollows sister

and we fight the hornet twice in hollow knight

[light swan]

laika movement is so scuffed (LAIKA AGED THROUGH BLOOD SPOILERS)

[fervent grail]

What would be the silksong equivalent of gods and glory ost

[silent mural]

silks and songy

[earnest drift]

lesbians and laurels

[spark anchor]

symphony of memories

[muted cradle]

songs and silk

[spark anchor]

outside of lace and cogwork dancers who do you think will get new themes for the boss rush dlc

[earnest drift]

phantom please

[spark anchor]

cogwork dancers' theme syncs with their fight so i don't see why they shouldn't get a remix

[muted cradle]

karmelita

[spark anchor]

that would go so hard man

but if we're being for real they'll likely just get generic music

the truth stings harder than bees

[lavish apex]

phantom's theme is already so good though

i don't like how the pantheons replace so many boss themes

[spark anchor]

a lotta bosses in hk have themes that go quite hard like gpz and white defender but in pantheons they just use godhome themes

mantis lords and hornet get their own themes which are definitely deserved but the other bosses... man

[spark anchor]

Grimm is the biggest offender

it's just haunted foes

[lavish apex]

yeah that sucked

[light swan]

every pantheon boss will get an upgraded ost

[spark anchor]

realistic outcome is that only lace, cogwork dancers and one of the godhome exclusive bosses get a unique theme

if they don't then i would be the happiest man alive

this is why > pantheons

[light swan]

i feel like the weavers would keep their theme

[spark anchor]

oh yeah true widow and first sinner

karmelita...

[tight hull]

whats pale needle base dmg?

[lavish apex]

karmelita's should be untouched

[lavish apex]

21

[light swan]

karmelita i expect to get changed into the pantheon ost

[void moat]

khann deserves his theme

[lavish apex]

this would be dogshit

[light swan]

i agree

[lavish apex]

she has the best boss theme in either game

[light swan]

that goes to strive unfortunately

[void moat]

khann's is better son

[lavish apex]

i don't even remember khann's

[void moat]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOWu5AXLFwQ&pp=ygUQY3J1c3Qga2luZyBraGFubg%3D%3D listen to peak

[lavish apex]

strive is ok

[light swan]

its so good you dont remember it

khanns is like... relaly relaly good

[void moat]

top 3 themes of silksong

[lavish apex]

nothing will beat karmelita's ever for me

well that's not true other games have better boss themes

[void moat]

simply listen to it

[lavish apex]

but in hk

[tight hull]

https://youtu.be/xHRpVl1lp-M thats also peak

[light swan]

in hk the best theme is undoubtedly sealed vessel

[lavish apex]

i've played through act 3 5 times it would have made its impression by now

[light swan]

dude every time i listen to it it just gets better

[soft spruce]

I beat silksong act 3

finally

[light swan]

that one damn key change in the last minute

[spark anchor]

from a story and narrative perspective it blows out every theme out of proportion ngl

[light swan]

with the victorious harmonics its just so good

[lavish apex]

yeah pretty much

[tight hull]

sealed vessel maked me cry

[void moat]

khann's theme is downright perfect ngl

cements him as the best old heart

[light swan]

if khann was difficult enough to be karmelita level khann would probably be my favorite boss in the game

best theme, best area

also he was the one i knew nothing about

[spark anchor]

the amount of emotion behind the theme repeating the same tune just like how hallownest is perpetually in limbo

[light swan]

seeing a dead king surrounded by his army and then meeting the dead king himself

and then he turns out to be the most badass character ever with constant aurafarming and the best theme

[void moat]

"dead" we do kill him for good after we beat his bossfight though

[light swan]

if only the gameplay matched how good this theme was

[leaden delta]

I do wish nyleth was better soooo badly

[spark anchor]

he's just really thirsty

if you gave him a cup of water he'll come back to life

[lavish apex]

seth is good enough to make up for it

[void moat]

nyleth is easily the worst old heart

she has no lore, compared to the other bosses a mediocre design and bossfight, it's just meh

[leaden delta]

goddd I do think I just wish it was a plats fight, I think

[spark anchor]

https://giphy.com/gifs/dj-khaled-graggletwo-what-does-he-v1zlyzPMsDUyTQJzyC

honest reaction to nyleth

[leaden delta]

I like the idea but I think nyleth having contact dmg and the slower pogos make the fight not as fun as it could be

[spark anchor]

she just made shellwood, worst act 1 area of all time

[leaden delta]

so phase 2 ends up feeling slow

[light swan]

grynne send the spogo gif

[leaden delta]

at least, I think it’d be more fun with tk

[lavish apex]

shellwood is good wtf

[leaden delta]

also ik typical spogo stuff ik ik

[spark anchor]

i just don't like it

[leaden delta]

still

[graceful oyster]

@light swan One of my friends who is in the early game fought lotad's evolution and said it was his favorite boss so far. Out of burger king, blacksmith, zangy, bamby...

[light swan]

i can believe it

[graceful oyster]

Trapu

[light swan]

lotads evolution is REALLY damn good when played early on

[leaden delta]

I just wish nyleth was a bg boss and it was plats instead. I feel like I’d like it better cuz plats r already an amazing idea and u get to chase things down better in ss

[graceful oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-witch-crest-sawtooth-circlet-sawtooth-circlet-gif-9051854759941621799

[spark anchor]

i tried doing this tech yesterday and i can't get the sawtooth to hit

[graceful oyster]

Nyleth one isn't a gif but I knew what you meant

[void moat]

i wish after each heart fight hornet discussed/communicated with them in a way, itd be nice to see their views and outlooks on life and stuff

[graceful oyster]

I'll get the Nyleth

[spark anchor]

what's the proper angle or position to be in to do sawtooth pogos (specifically with hunter)

[light swan]

activate the sawtooth like 2 frames before your pogo

[light swan]

spogos are only 100% consistent with witch

[spark anchor]

so double jump?

[light swan]

with hunter it only happens some times, aka at corners or sides

[spark anchor]

hmm i see

[light swan]

its pretty unlikely to land if youre doing it dead on from the top

[graceful oyster]

Both Silksong and Mio are severely lacking in platform fights

[light swan]

are platform fights even fun

[graceful oyster]

I didn't notice that until you mentioned that but it's something that I have been thinking about

[light swan]

sound kind of boring from the ones ive played (radiance, markoth, no eyes, uumu)

[graceful oyster]

Brain fart

[light swan]

radiance is a special case where i wouldnt say the platforms help

[graceful oyster]

Platform fights can be fun. I don't think we've had one yet

[light swan]

but that general gameplay loop doesnt have much going for it does it

[lavish apex]

platform phase is the worst part of absrad

[light swan]

with little abilities and damage upgrades and as a new player, the fight is exactly as tense as it needs to be

[graceful oyster]

One of the best parts about Markoth is the platforms I think

[spark anchor]

the amount of times i've been hit by the wall of light because i dashed into a platform's edge

[graceful oyster]

If not the best

[spark anchor]

good god imagine the ascended groal arena

there's gonna be traps in the muckmaggot water so you can't cheese it

[graceful oyster]

I guess groal kinda has platforms

[light swan]

id say the platforms in markoth are the less fun part

[spark anchor]

take damage AND get covered in maggots

[light swan]

honestly

markoth is kind of like washing machine in a way

if markoth was in mio, markoth would be SO much funner

[leaden delta]

Rad plats r the best intentional decision tc has made with any boss, asckoth is pretty fun with the movement across platforms though I do wish markoth had more shit to do

[graceful oyster]

EnShiitification

[light swan]

holy SHIIT i love your pfp

[leaden delta]

plat fights force your movement to be different, and vary the way you dodge attacks

it also rewards aggressive play and good movement

[light swan]

its been way too long since ive played hk so i might have an uninformed opinion

[lavish apex]

it rewards good movement for sure but i think it punishes aggression more than anything

[leaden delta]

Hornet has even more to do

[leaden delta]

Certain level once you’re good enough

[lavish apex]

radiant absrad is like. you spend half the time camping bottom plat

[graceful oyster]

Yeah in Absrad I don't move

[leaden delta]

good aggressive play and movement allows you to do more damage

[graceful oyster]

Using the plats in Absrad is kind of a death sentence if you're not cracked

[leaden delta]

it can also make dodges more consistent/less varied though it does depend on the attack

[light swan]

it just sounds like a limiter

that you have to bash your head against

[lavish apex]

honestly part of why i'm not huge on that fight

[leaden delta]

ehhhh kinda ig when you’re learning the fight

but plats enables soooo much unique shit and I like that a lot

and modded rads get to have a field day there too

[lavish apex]

i certainly don't see how it rewards aggression

[leaden delta]

though plats only benefits the well designed mods

[lavish apex]

maybe Doesn't Punish if you're good enough

[light swan]

Helloooo! Looking for some map magic, you wanker??

Map updated, you wanker!

[leaden delta]

I guess

Plats rewards good movement with good aggro

[glacial kelp]

what if there was no plat and instead a humble markoth to pogo

[light swan]

id love it

[lavish apex]

what if there were two of them with synchonized attacks and no projectiles or shield

[graceful oyster]

At last you have the vision to find my house! Now you will see the #### that prevent your approach to #####!!!

[light swan]

how fast does markoth move regularly

[graceful oyster]

Go, with many blessings!

[leaden delta]

Every like year we accidentally invent futukoth again

[light swan]

does he move around a lot

[glacial kelp]

are these jokes in 2026

[graceful oyster]

No I'm stimming

[glacial kelp]

stimming via text is crazy

[graceful oyster]

It's a reference that I can't complete because spoilers

[leaden delta]

at least futukoth isn’t my most popular map thing anymore. Thank god

[tight viper]

She's possible. LL is possible to do with no floor, no wall, and no silk skills.

This'll take a while to beat but it's actually doable

[graceful oyster]

Clawline is stupid

[light swan]

me when i Oosh Ay Ah Rey Ya

[tight viper]

It's stupid and I absolutely love it

[leaden delta]

it’s so so fucking dumb

[light swan]

shaman pogo to the rescue

[tight viper]

I love this damn crest

Oh, I managed to beat Pinstress btw

[glacial kelp]

no way you made futukoth

[tight viper]

First time getting her to below half health iirc, managed to avoid choking

[arctic epoch]

peak fight

[urban mortar]

How to high halls gauntlet

[tight viper]

Easily an S tier fight, maybe high A if I'm feeling annoyed about the wind

[glacial kelp]

dont get hit probably

[tight viper]

How many masks and needle upgrades are you sitting at

[glacial kelp]

theres like 50 cheeses for it if you really cant

[urban mortar]

6 masks
For the first pale oil

[slender zealot]

@tight viper huge flea is not a boss

[hardy socket]

wat-

[slender zealot]

And to bone bottom skull tyrant

[urban mortar]

Pretty vague

[tight viper]

I'd leave and go grab another mask or two, personally

[glacial kelp]

i think thats very clear

[tight viper]

Maybe another pale oil

[urban mortar]

Oh ok

[tight viper]

you mean do?

[light swan]

i just did used my shotgun recoil mid backflip to crush my skull against a cliff

[tight viper]

or that the skull tyrant of bone bottom is also not a boss

[glacial kelp]

frito have you done voltvyrm

[tight viper]

it can't be done, I'm afraid

I have tried

[glacial kelp]

yeah it sounded weird in my head

why is that

[tight viper]

I think there's a single spot to safely clawline it without hitting the ceiling

[light swan]

can we admit shotguns are awesome (minor laika spoilers?)

[tight viper]

but that's nowhere near enough

[urban mortar]

Have you done green princes

[tight viper]

Is that an intended mechanic? That's sick

[glacial kelp]

hes working on them supposedly

[light swan]

yes

[tight viper]

I have, they were tough but fun

[glacial kelp]

nvm

[light swan]

you cant jump in this game you gotta boost off of slopes and use momentum and stuff

[tight viper]

Got very lucky and had an attempt where they didn't use that infernal tornado attack

[light swan]

but with this you can redirect your momentum and get one jump

[glacial kelp]

wait thats crazy

[tight viper]

Are there other guns with different ways to boost you up?

[light swan]

i dont know this is the only other gun i have

[glacial kelp]

are you like early game

[tight viper]

The tornado attack was possible to dodge, though

[light swan]

i think so

[glacial kelp]

yeah no i saw your thing

[light swan]

actually i think this gun specifically is a movement upgrade type thing rather than the usual combat gun so it might be the only one

[tight viper]

Oh right I posted the first one I pulled off here

[light swan]

this game is fucking sick man

have i described it before

[ancient mortar]

im glad you are enjoying it 🙂

[glacial kelp]

is that just your bgm or part of the game

[light swan]

part of the game

[ancient mortar]

its kinda like fallout where theres an in game music player

[glacial kelp]

what a strange track

[ancient mortar]

i think the mc has a walkman

[glacial kelp]

oh bike diff ig

[ancient mortar]

or smthin like that

[glacial kelp]

walkman???

is he old

[light swan]

shes a mom

its basically a music playing device she inherits from her brother after the beginning of the game

you can find tracks in the world and play them how you want in your menu

[ancient mortar]

i need to play laika again as i forget the lore

[light swan]

some areas still have specific area themes tho

[glacial kelp]

i cant get a read on this game

[ancient mortar]

laika has such a great artstyle

[glacial kelp]

i thought it was more like a grimy gore thing

[light swan]

oh it is

this world is depressing and gory as fuck

[ancient mortar]

its a very grim and depressing story with blood and guts but its also beautiful.

[tight viper]

Seems like an interesting game

[light swan]

if you look in my top right, the currency in this game is viscera

[ancient mortar]

its quite good, didn't get as much love as it deserved on release

[glacial kelp]

yeah see i was expecting like metal vibes

[light swan]

spoilers for the very VERY beginning and also slight trigger warning but ||your nephew gets crucified with his guts as the opening||

[ancient mortar]

Its certainly one way to open a game

[glacial kelp]

is the main character jesus

[tight viper]

Sounds like an average Tuesday

[untold dune]

what game is this about dang

[tight viper]

Minecraft: Story Mode

[light swan]

the main character is a struggling mom

who rides a bike and wields a gun

[glacial kelp]

is this what its like to be a single mother in big 26

[ancient mortar]

The main character is basically a superpowered warrior protector of a post apocalyptic tribe trying to protect her daughter and her tribe from an invading fascist regime if i remember the basics.

[tight viper]

It's actually about Laika

[untold dune]

the guys who made coraline? jk

[glacial kelp]

arent the characters rats

[light swan]

she watches all her friends die tragically around her as she tries to protect her daughter

[light swan]

dogs or some kind of mammals

[tight viper]

I need to watch Coraline again, I never watched that movie as a kid because it fucking terrified me

[ancient mortar]

how far in are you btw?

[untold dune]

why is it on sale for 10% off when the price is already 90 cents 😭

[ancient mortar]

which game?

[untold dune]

laika

[ancient mortar]

oh it was 70% off earlier

[untold dune]

??

[light swan]

||finished the mines stuff, just got to Where Waves Die||

[untold dune]

fuck it sure why not

[light swan]

yea i got it for 5 dollars

[glacial kelp]

that is NOT the same one lmao

[light swan]

or 7 or smth

[untold dune]

ah

[tight viper]

Looks like it's $20 on Steam

Er, sorry. $19.99

[ancient mortar]

Laika:aged through blood is the full title

[untold dune]

i just clicked t he first result lol

[ancient mortar]

yeah it was 5 bucks a week or so back

[untold dune]

yea that makes more sense

[ancient mortar]

also i got outer wilds half off earlier

[light swan]

march 7th is the deadline for the sale i think

unfortunate

[slender zealot]

@tight viper there are 48 bosses

[light swan]

or it mightve been march 6th

[untold dune]

already march 8th here oop

west coaster spotted

[tight viper]

48? is that including the voided Moss Mother?

[light swan]

anyways can i really quickly describe the games fundamental mechanics because theyre so awesome and theyre what made me wanna play in the first place

[slender zealot]

Yes

[untold dune]

sure

[glacial kelp]

why is voided moss mother there dawg

[ancient mortar]

Im glad someone else is liking Laika as i've never met anyone else whos actually played it lmao

[untold dune]

ts is probably including skarguard or something

[tight viper]

Title card doesn't pop up during that fight so I'm not counting it as a boss personally, but I did do it regardless because why not lol

[slender zealot]

If you didnt get the mossberry before

[slender zealot]

No

[tight viper]

Spawns regardless of the mossberry

[light swan]

so you ride a bike which cant jump and stuff, you go into the air by sliding/riding off slopes

[glacial kelp]

no like why are we counting it

[slender zealot]

Ik

[slender zealot]

Cuz its there

[light swan]

you have a gun with limited ammo, and when shooting you get bullet time (hold for bullet time, let go to shoot)

[glacial kelp]

???

[ancient mortar]

One thing i love about the game is it makes doing tricks like flips a required core mechanic

[light swan]

do a backflip with your bike to RELOAD

[tight viper]

Oh so that's why it looked like it was in slow motion for a sec

Bullet time is a cool mechanic

[light swan]

and do a frontflip to refresh your parry

[untold dune]

thats so hype actually

[slender zealot]

@tight viper are you counting bone bottom tyrant

[light swan]

and your parry is when you drift your fucking bike into the enemy

[tight viper]

I'll probably do it at some point, yeah

[light swan]

if you dont have a parry and you drift, itll just be a spot dodge which is still cool

[slender zealot]

So where are the 2 bosses

[waxen sentinel]

i hate ||bilewater||

[ancient mortar]

or into their bullet to deflect em

[light swan]

also you can block bullets with the bottom of your bike

[glacial kelp]

i cannot imagine it is any different from regular skull tyrant

[slender zealot]

The arena

[tight viper]

Voltvyrm is impossible, and the voided Moss Mother isn't a boss because it lacks a title card

[glacial kelp]

yeah no shit

[light swan]

so like if something is shooting you from above you can do a 180 and block it with your bike

[waxen sentinel]

why and how are we talking about bikes and guns

[slender zealot]

Ahhh

[light swan]

im getting into the stage where im switching guns mid combat

[untold dune]

illusion im so convinced already, i trust your taste in games wholeheartedly

[tight viper]

The boulder drop frequency is a lot lower iirc, which is something I guess

[ancient mortar]

talking about a game called Laika: aged through blood

[waxen sentinel]

i see

[slender zealot]

Flip voltvyrm arena

[ancient mortar]

metroidvania where you ride a motorcycle and fight bird fascists

[slender zealot]

Yeah thats why void mother is not on wiki

[light swan]

i dont actually know anything about the birds except theyre birds and theyre evil

[glacial kelp]

i havent like thought about it too hard but you dont have to use clawline for voltvyrm right?
does pogo not work

[tight viper]

The ceiling is angry

[light swan]

i knew about laika since late 2024

[tight viper]

It craves blood

[glacial kelp]

what if you use like not shaman

or is shaman part of the challenge

[tight viper]

I won't be able to get height regardless

[slender zealot]

Isnt gms impossible cuz of the falling rocks phase

[tight viper]

There's nothing to pogo off of

[slender zealot]

Same with lost lace

[tight viper]

I'm not sure how I'll handle that yet, but Lost Lace is possible, just have to change my build up a tad

[slender zealot]

So do it rn

[light swan]

i love how i can reload my shotgun at any time if i have only 1 bullet available

[slender zealot]

Why not try khann

[light swan]

also that means i can reload my other gun freely too

[tight viper]

I'll hold off until later, what with her being the final boss and all

[glacial kelp]

okay im looking at it the ceiling is indeed very angry

[light swan]

epicc

[tight viper]

Khann has that 4th gauntlet I have to clear out, he's not that fun and very hard to fight

Or, he can be fun, but that gauntlet is awful

[ancient mortar]

Anyway everhood is still four dollars highly reccomend that

[glacial kelp]

no hit gauntlet is pretty ass yeah

[light swan]

ive already done some cool movement with the shotgun
