the unravelled is so stupid bro they unintentionally made a gauntlet longer than forum
I think unraveled took like 2 attempts
karmelita lost lace seth beastfly 2 and fuckin soemone else idk
Unraveled took more attempts than lost lace
prolly damn lost garmond he took me forever
Beastfly 2 is soo overrated
LOST GARMOND ???
cz its hard
this is true
i never said it was rational
It took me like 6-7 attempts
i js fucking struggled with him specifically
...
silk seven
Didnt even had to learn him properly
We need a pogo where hornet goes up
unraveled is two predictablea attacks bro im sorry
I didn’t even know there was an exploding rock above the arena until I saw someone else do it
I wish we had a rematch against him
all bro ever does is run
warding bind post
LL, TT, SSK, Groal (including gauntlet), Seth, Nyleth, Beastfly 2, Lace 2, voided Forebrothers, clover dancers, etc.
is it worth sacrificing injectors though
top 5 imo is : LL, unravelled, lugoni, karmelita, lace 2
i’d say so
silksong so peak
horrendous ass list bro
because it looks so cool
the ADUACITY to put lugoli and unravelled above karmelita
literally just started today btw
Vesticrest
Its my experience
ok ima go before i get spoiled
true
the hardest boss is trying not to annihilate nyleth and actually enjoy the boss
What could Lugoli possibly have over karmelite???
Lugoni took me more attempts than her
Lugoni took one attempt
Same for unravelled
a bigger a-
im crine bru were you straight eating his muckmaggot 😭
ASS JIM!
mmmm muckmaggot 🤤
Karmelita is in my top 3 for bosses I think (fun factor)
it’s still possible to bind without injector bands it’s just a bit harder so i’d say that the awesomeness balances it out
Personal experience
yep
nah but fr you can just hit the muckmaggot blobs away, the butt bounce is easy asl to dodge, and the slam is stupidly simple
Personally Seth for example wasnt that hard despite very challenging
ie: (same fight)
i really fuckin hated raging conchfly for some reason
I had much more trouble with Nyleth than Seth
seth is hella simple
am i the only one who found groal the great easy as hell and didnt even get close to dying once
yes
I beat that thing first try because I love angles
and hes also weirdly readable but hard to read at the same time
reject new types of damage embrace wanderers crest
why?
dont act superiour everyone struggled to groal at some point
hunters crest + pin badge clears
speedslop
Vengefly King
LITERALLY
hk 2 ❤️
nyleth was super hard for me
then i pulled up with witch crest and destroyed it
It's a difficult, yet simple fight that feels quite fair
🔥
yet its under unravelled?
no its insult i hate it
I use delver's drill against lugoli
I didnt find it rlly difficult at all, ive seen harder enemies
if i wanna destroy someone ill use beast
and fucking ASS JIM?
you can probably get more damage with snitch pick
I disagree with this take, but you probably just had a diff game experience than me so I don't wanna argue over it
now that it actually WORKS in dream sequences
Yeah, it's just my experience
also i learned that rune rage unironically goes hard against far fields savage beastfly
yep
it wastes its time roaring at the start and gets hit by ten billion trillion runes
anyways reserve bind should give wanderers a permanent crit increase
Whats the best crest in yall opinion
For example, I rushed the act 3 plot without doing much side stuff so i only had like 7 masks and a few silk upgrades going into LL. I also didn't have much experience with harpooning in combat so I had a rough time against the no floor/walls part
Seth was an interesting boss but probably not top 5 in terms of difficulty
NONONOONONONON
boom, phase 2 within like 7 needle hits
WHAT ARE YOU DOING

either reaper, hunter, wanderer, beast, architect, witch, or shaman.
you don’t want to do this
oh god we were so chill too
oh nyleth? i kinda annihilated nyleth and imo its hard not to
the soul master became a weaver
yep
ahhh.. i see what you've done there, good job
holy crestslop
Somebody told me silk was refined soul
Same
So i did this
if you use anything BUT slab hornet you suck
weaverqueen supremacy fr
What about pre yarnaby witch
wanderers crest
kinda shit mfs did in hk looking for breakable walls
if you aren't using weaverqueen crest you aren't playing the game bruh
true true
don’t do this pls
the slab on its way to ruin hornet's character after having some crazy good moments and parallels in act 3 and weaver queen
Yea bc unravelled was a cancer for me
ofc a NEW user took it seriously
It was so obnoxious
fym slab ruins hornet?
What about the best crest passive
makes her racist
The entries man... the entries...
hunter and its not close
what did the slab do 😭
she already was racist 😭
is this an inside joke of some sort?
have you SEEN slab entries this is a NEW level
why is hunter crest so strong
0 empathy btw, even once she knows they're slaves
I would be pissed too if some bugs kidnapped me and took my clothes
i never even knew one could get more racist
This is the true Last Dive
Because i main it
Reaper
i
Like no contest
witch becuase witch bind is cool
your right on no contest cz its hunter
If you can get hits in without getting hit, you get insane damage boosts
Wanderer’s crit is so satisfying
Hunter
hunter because damage, beast's shield pierce is also neat
omg a nerd reaction my life is over
why didn't she kill the freshfly that spawned after broodmother
Hornet's racism towards Flies is based
this is who you tjink you are isnt it
Reaper has both the best pogo and best passive
oh god its so slow
she CAN'T be THIS evil bro they gotta spare some for the 4th old heart
reaper passive is so ass
what the fuck?
Hunter's is best, reaper's is best for casual, wanderer's is most satisfying, beast fits most with the crest itself, and im forgetting the other crest passives
dude its not the best im sorry
The reaper passive is such a nothing burger
Skill issue
counter point, wanderer pogo
NO way you said skill issue to reaper
istg bro LOL
It's neither the best pogo or the best passive
im act crine how stupid can one be 😭
I admit : reaper doesnt have the best moveset
Now THAT's a massive skill issue
But the best pogo and passive
💔
notice how the only good damage was the bind
The reaper passive sucks lol
Hunter's passive is the best, reaper's passive is the best for casual, wanderer's passive is the most satisfying, beast passive fits most with the crest itself, and im forgetting the other crest passives.
hot take
reapers passive isnt even that powerful what????
no fucking way..
real
ASS take bro
0 Kelvin take fr
All things considered reaper pogo isn’t THAT slow, but I still think it could be 9f startup instead of 10
I think red fits hunter more and reaper is definitely blue
I said what i said. Racism? Bad, obviously. Fictional racism towards awful creatures? Yeah whatever
also what
Sill issue Lmao
its racism tf r u on
I had no idea crest discrimination was a thing until like yesterday
architect top??
guys what are we on rn
dude it sucks idk what to tell you
they're slaves..
Be careful dude, using your brain cells is forbidden here
It aint my fault you guys are bad at the game
it’s in the architect tier
god almighty please shut up
oh wait yall
the value of reapers is ass it can go cry in a corner
Mate it's not even about the virtual racism, it's about how it is portrayed
Having wrong done to you does not make you immune to doing wrong yourself 
should we defenestrate the people who use "skill issue" and "git gud" as serious responses in arguments?
Nerd
ITS ALPHABETICAL ORDER
true!
BAHBAHBHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
The game potrays this as super righteous and just
We all have different experiences with crest tools and such
THERE IS NO WAY CHUD ASS CALLED ME A NERD IM ACT CRINE
The important part is tha we won
I've already discussed this several times here, not again
Youre lowkey projecting
Ye kill them in self defense wtv, but no pity whatsover? even after talking to old penitent?
your a DORK bro be QUIET 😭
the beauty of silksong is that you can customize to your own play style perfectly why are we arguing about which crest is best
NO, the important part is that people recognise the superiority of hunter crest
Stop projecting
If you say so
The important is that we all won
There is no point competing which way is easier to beat the game
Bc we won
WHAT DID YOU WIN???
what keybind do yall use for claw line
NO, the important part is that people recognise the superiority of injector band + multbinder
e
Right mouse button
S, the default
The respect of our peers
This is the correct answer
L2
rune rage
valid
lower side mouse button
Bro, sending your cheeks reaction images doesnt make you right
i would have this but im a stupid ass laptop chud
im bored
That’s fair
Go back to hk and peak r5
The acid sweets package be like
No, the whispfire should be superior alone
dash is right click, heal is upper side mouse button, attack is left click, harpoon is lower side mouse button, silk skill is middle click
Bro is a dork
Should? Idk but it sucks
ok he's just ragebaiting
ITS GOOD
congrats you found the ultimate mouse optimization
delete your entire shit bro
delete your account delete your steam delete every game you own
wispfire looks cool and comes from a cool area
My reaction to that info
you little cunt
uAGH :(
my fucking ears
also this annoyed me can we get a mod to ban him
a minor inconvenience for me must result in an instaban
i spent like 2 hours on hhg enemy rando
Dork
oh no...
real
Sorry
Punk
😭🙏
i still didnt do it
yk i even passed the maestro stage i was doing WELL
until i got jumped by fucking double lost garmond
Bum
holy goodslop
Took like 10 tries is it that hard? 😭🙏
2020 ptsd
circlet moment
whos this again
there is another
Bro stop
oh was it beastfly?
Ik
i pray you ONLY get Maestros and Yumamas
Beastfly
Isn't circlet + wanderer a terrible combi
@queen acorn
Screamers are banned so yeah you could probably report this to mods
fun
thats not very nice
Beastfly was kinda fun ngl
anyone know why Sprint master is so gay
Each time you're activating circlet you could have done a needle hit which could have been crit and charged your silk
LMAO
you can shortjump circlet and itll be viable
you do know you attack every circlet trigger right
Well no, because you jumped
i
you also simulatenously slash
How silksong fans be talking about second beastfly and groal
@light swan can you explain it
hi karmelita
at release
You can attack and circlet together
dont first try so you can do karmelita even more
trust me you dont wanna first try it cuz it means you get to experience PEAK more
exactly
craw summons finally
i think its 10% but im probably EXTREMELY wrong on that
i might gotta test it
but i couldnt be asked to
thats the job of some hk wiki tryhard to do
Which I am not
yep
i can check real quick, only will take like 1 minute
bet
spot on actually
our bind is 3 masks and shes healing fucking 130
ok but seriously why was everyone complaining about savage beastfly 😭
thats just absurd
you can get there with pretty low gear which is brutal
its attacks were lowkey simple and it wasn't the only boss at that point that dealt double damage
damn lol
I kinda liked beastfly 😭🙏
the one dash attack
people don't like its low TBA
that one attack was so damn unpredictable
People reached it with low equipment
do i still need to or is it over
far fields beastfly is annoying cause of the adds
The charge is also a little wonky
i think thyer gone now
👍
There’s a pattern to it, but the pattern isn’t immediately obvious
first charge aims for you while the next one doesnt and the final one does but the aim of the 2nd one is dependant on the first one????
this is the 5th boss ever what the fuck????
not even widow had this complex attacks???
5th?
give or take
just dodge the dash :)
the secret to every boss
lost lace is easy just dont get hit
does anyone wanna see me struggle to do anything in steel soul?
The bosses aren’t even a problem it’s the open world 😭
tbh biggest checkpoint for my first steel soul were widow, trobbio, lace 2, though i was trying to speedrun achievement at same time xD
thats the struggle lol
Hello
where should i go now?
cogwork dancers speedkill is kinda hard
explore choral chambers more ( up and left and down )
right then up then left
Nice instructions ^_^
i shouldve learned spogos before lol
Opposite directions ^_^
wtf u mean? r u tryna take me to mount fay
Check that bottom right area in Choral Chambers, methinks
i saw the video was 27 seconds and i was like holy hell thats a speed kill, it was infact not a speed kill, cool though xD
no im tryna take you to the actual progression spots lol
I belive underworks...
so just tell me the name
ive been spoiled a lot
idc abt spoilers
||Songclave|| and ||Cogwork Dancers||
lol just learning spogos
holy shit that was almost a warding bind at the end
i did karmelita in 24 lol
noice
sad that this is not possible with hunter 😔
flintslate is peak
cross stitch is peak
volt filament is more cross stitch so more peak
wanderer is peak ❤️
and circlet
||water on the hill!||
spogos Are possible from the side and hunter is more consistent at it than others at the corner at least
but beast (first half) and reaper can spogo at least
should i go to cogwork dancers now or songclave
Wdym beast 1st half
You need to do cogwork dancers to get there
the first half of beast pogo’s animation/hitbox can land the spogo
oh
Interesting
Its more of a dash attack tbh
especially cuz of the 15 frame startup you gotta like land the pogo pretth early to land the spogo
Its weird. Like cool but personally dislike.
Spogo might be very consistent using the dash pogo tech of beast
Flea bounce is peak
how do i go up from here (i want to get to clockwork dancers)
bruh why u hating on nkg 😔
every crest can spogo from the side
sounds like a skill issure
I can't find myself bro
tfym
Walk
Go around through that tall room to your left, or go to the right half and climb that room
Not saying it has to be from teh side
I meant the tech itself since dash gives you just enough space to land another pogo, which should work well with sawtooth
oh i get it
Ts sounds harder than sbf shitty maze
yea it does make it easier
holy shite I beat karmelita with one hp
How?
although… why spogo when you could be doing this
Isn't that my clip lmao
wtf
no
There's like one million death traps that need a zyrith soloist aka a unemployed guy like me to cross it
Hunter
i got this from iliketoplaygen8 (timmy)
And he got it from me lol
sigh I should prob try to make another silksong map
Whats more dangerous lore wise ? The plasnium/lifeblood or infection ?
but like. idccccccccccc
oh nvm then lol
I was about to ask if you got it from him but i forgot his username
I have good games to play and silksong isn’t all that to me platforming wise and I feel like I’d rather map hk, but I also don’t have motivation for that?
Impossible to know right now, since SoS will likely deal with Lifeblood/Plasmium
isnt clockwork dancers a ez boss
i made this yesterday, first time doing level design stuff
Their attacks have a lot of telegraphing, but they’re fairly difficult
Depends on your equipment as well
it gets worse as it progresses becuase interesting level design with hornet is hard
5 sawtooth 5 normal attacks
28+26
64x5
320 dmg in less than 2s
How much dmg reduction does grand reed have again
1x
hello guys I'm back after a week off
EXAFTLY
How much is their hp again
280?
this is my main problem with ss mapping
260
this is something I do not feel with tk
there’s only so much you can do with hornet
i feel like itd be worse with tk
it isn’t
unless we’re factoring weird pogo tech like shriek pogos or slowballs or smth
straight up I disagree
Why is there no abyss tools…
This but wanderer is basically me.
Add flintslate and cross stitch filament
i dont see what makes hornet worse than the knight at this, clawline just adds a TAD bit more depth to the dash
floating with updrafts is pretth cool to reset your stuff
but yea with these in mind, i get what you mean lol
Hold on I need to try to think of my explanation
cuz yes
I haven’t quite put it into words I think
Btw look at the top right lol
what am i looking for
magnetite platforms are the only reason why this is interesting
Fps and cpu usage 
and that’s because i’m miopilled
spent too much time attacking in platforming and now it’s spreading into silksong
What are the 10 easiest tools to get after this i need architect key
uhh i know nothing about those i jut see 60 fps is that special
can i fight clogwork dancers w/o clawline
dice
buy out the shops
yo how hard is this boss?
No it just exists in all my clips kek
Magnetite brooch
I think it’s mainly the lack of more movement shit. the extra stuff tk gets access to allows for more varied platforming, and stuff like spells are also way more useful. ultimately I don’t find clawline or float that impactful of movement when im making stuff. clawline is cool but don’t think it’s AS impactful as people usually pass it off as. Also tk is a bit more conductive to being in the sky, which is where you get the more interesting platforming
Nice ^_^
does that make sense?
ah lol
you’ll have to trust me. I mapped hk for like 5 years and got burnt out with silksong in like 4 months
spells are pretty useful i completely forgot
nah nah i trust you and agree with you lol
im just less experienced with this so i’m trying to find the reason why
spells, movement tech like with the pogos
Not too hard... medium difficulty ^_^
uhh outside of that cdash is the only other specific movement ability rifht
I'm still too lazy to practice lace 2
Is that a mod?
Id have to use benchwarp to get the melodies and I'm simply too lazy
For some reason benchwarp doesn't have the lace room 
What's a mod
What mod
setup?
That's vannila gameplay
man fuck cross stitch why are parries so dumb
The setup is kinda obvious lol
warding bell is a good parry
thats more like stallwart shell
dont uou take damage with stalwart shell
Barbed bracelet, evolved hunter,cross stitch, volt filament,flintslate,
And tacks
these tools
It said by Juan camus in the bottom left...
Get that shit out of my screen thank you
Yes, but even cdash has some interesting shit you can do with it, esp when you start getting into glitches n stuff
Nice ^_^
( the one on the left yellow is shell satchel, steel soul exclusive but i hacked it in )
Cdash storage can get sexy as hell
Nice ^_^
no.
im not well versed in glitches and cool pogo tech
Ddark rise storage is p cool but hard to get rid of. Levi used it in lm5
Why are you using wanderer if your doing hitless 
It has mods so...
Evolved hunter is right there
Hold on hold on I have the perfect demonstration of why I like hk more
are you thinking of baldufs shell
im not. that was a quick kill
have you seen g40cm
oh y eah
no
Why?
You want ones that are faster?
sorry my bad i am dumb
Yes and hunter would be faster
baldurs shell doesnt use your soul or damage the enemy
If you want faster just use architect lo
Maybe idk
I don't know what that is sorry
This is the main path of Google 40% cops map made by @the_future1474 (also known as Sonia on Discord).
As you may see in the video, the map is non-linear cuz there are some alternative paths. I've done them all in this video:
The map kinda is a maze with several paths and you have to find the right one, which is a...

flintslate is only addative
lovingly crafted thumbnails by me btw. god im so awesome
Yes ? Ik

Sure you can use hunter beast witch shaman to get faster kill than ehat rocket showed but if you really want a speed kill just use architect
so i only get x2 instead of 1.5 x 1.34 + crits
though flea brew exists, and 1 more red slot
i just like wanderer more
so this is my ultimate hk map. I was gonna make a more ultimate one with architect but then ss released and I lose motivation
Wanderer is faster if you get good rng ^_^
Im pretty sure Hunters max focus outdps’s wanderer (unless you get some really good crit luck)
1.5×1.3 is less than 2
Wanderer is just more fun to use ^_^
You need atleast 5 crits to match hunter or beast
OH SHIT I FORGOT GAMBLING
- crits
PULL OUT THE DICE
Yep ^_^
beast crest needs constant bind aka less cross stitch
What's 1.34 for?
Less cross stitch= more damage lol
wanderer
Cross stitch dmg is doodoo outside of shaman
Wanderer what
Only worth for avoiding damage
attack speed
Plus you can just parry instead and get increased attack speed for every parry landed lo
it's literally the same as silk spear, pale nails, and unextended thread storm
And they all deal mid damage compared to nail spam unless shaman
THERES A FORUTH PHASE TO CLOCKWORK 7DANCERS
What ,1.5 is flintslate right?why are you putting attack speed
I COULD ONLY DO LIKE 3 PHASES
it's 3x needle damage that's not bad at all
Huh
wait is the 4th phase the phase where their attacks are uncoordinated
for flintslate yeah
vs flintslate hunter
Unextended?
thats 3rd
bruh
Considering cast time required you would get alot more from just spamming nail, unless you use sharpdart/silkspear to a wall
mashing the button makes thread storm last longer
i could only do 3 phases
unex is 69 i think
If you can get it to cancel by hitting a wall
HOLY PEAK???????
Is 1.34 hits per second or how long does it take to hit once?
Then it becomes alot more
it has 1 more than silk spear or pale nails
god I love g40cm im op as fuck
cross stitch is instant
silk spear has tech giving it reduced windup frames
thread storm does not take long at all to cast
There are 62 levers in hollow knight, which is basically equal 42 if you just round down. Because there are basically just 42 levers in hollow knight, we can use the knowledge of 42 being the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything to determine that every silksong dlc will release within the next 42 days
Cross stitch animation keeps you locked for more than a second
Oh right cuz wanderer has 34% faster attack speed
I'm considering the entire animation, not just windup
This is horrible logic... okay ^_^
well if you're using cross stitch you won't be sitting there you'll be getting attacked and triggering the skill hello 😭
Hi 👋
that's like a horrible counterpoint
You literally need to wait a second to be able to attack again lmao
i feel like this also delves into things like how stuff like the dash and double jump feel to use
Would be better to clawline dash for iframes to the other side
yeah if you get focus 2
but the extended hits are weaker*
Someone tested this
You can get focus 2 for karmelita from the gauntlet so you can start the fight fully focused
also i just like wanderer more
Well according to me, my logic is perfectly reasonable and correct
Clawline dash is much faster for iframes and avoiding dmg whike repositioning and is overall just better than using cross stitch
Still cool, tho!
yeah ik hunter is better.
i am just better at wanderer circlet timings
This is also true! wings feel a tiny bit more useful because of the extra distance you cover, and dash is the main reason why tk is more conductive to constantly being in the sky which is very important
Blasphemy
Anything is
Does it cost extra Silk?
What does
It's still a nice guess ^_^ But it will probably come out in the summer...
Nope, free
Extension of Thread Storm
Double PEAK!!!!!!!
shade dashing and shade gates also introduces downdashing in a cool way
downdashes r so sexy
Sea of Sorrow will release on April 2nd
ur right
also wanderer has more range than hunter @slender juniper
Nice cool water to swim in (do people go to water for summer?)
Sos is coming out on May 29, June 5, or whatever day is 42 days from now
Is extending thread storm still worth it after the nerf?like short thread storm + needle hit in the same amount of time is more damage
all of this is making me want mio level editor even more than before
No idea ^_^
Aoe + it is easier obviously
Ducks do at least ^_^
How often are you thread storm and immediately hitting
You see you'd expect this to be April First, but on April First everybody is going to be saying "Sea of Sorrow Tomorrow" and actually be correct about it
Therin lies the joke
Thread Strom isn't actually something I use, I just know the theory itself 
Ducks are always in the water, right?
???
They come out to nest ^_^
What?
buff rune rage
It is already one of the best silk skills
Yes 🗣️ 🔥
You just gave up on your argument >_<
Buff Quick Sling
Ah oops right
It would be nice if they spawned within a distance to enemies ^_^
-# don't ask how
Silk skills
1: sharpdart/stitch
2)thread storm
3)pale nails
4) silkspear
5)rune rage
Idk what's the point of runerage when pale nails exist
They are the same tool but one is better
Thread storm so bad it's on there twice
What
Lore ig
Idk what's the niche rune rage has over pale nails
You understand me
@slender juniper trying hunter karmelita
Pale nails also has a better parry ^_^
Pale Nails and Rune Rage are very different
First sinner should have given you a new crest instead of that shit
How so
wait the 4th phase was so ez
They are ^_^
why is Silkspear that low?? it has some of the strongest utility out there
How are they similar?
Nice ^_^
Because pale nails is a better silkspear and thread storm does more damage
They are both automatic skills except pale nails is literally better in every way
Pale nails summons 3 projectiles that only hit one thing once per projectile
if it hits the target, sure
but its also mostly single target damage
While rune rage summons double to miss like half of them?
they literally have aimbot
Or they can just buff rune rage. I think her main gimmick is silk skills which shaman already does
Silk Spear is better than Pale Nails. Pale Nails can miss on its own, Silk Spear only misses if you do. It also has piercing
So in the end they are the same?
Okay but can you use silkspear before boss screams?
It won’t miss half against large targets and gauntlets
is lost lace kinda like silksongs rad
Silk Spear I think is the best Silk Skill
I don't understand the descriptions of how Rune Rage actually works 
I’m sure you can if you time it right
Depends on which boss I'm pretty sure
god I wish
It will
False
I’m telling you from experience that it won’t miss half
Pale nails gives you free boss scream hits
And 85% of the time they land
Name the bosses it misses against. Broodmother’s one of them
But who else
It has range, multi target hits, and it deals good damage
not to mention its the first spell you get
You could argue that rune rage at least is obtained sooner than pale nails but is it really?
Lost lace
I've only had like the bottom nail miss I think
Khan
I may understand it vs Broodmother and 2nd Sent, since their arenas are small.
pale nails are for downtime
Bosses with delayed hitbox spawns, sure yeah it’ll miss
But there aren’t many
rune rage works against khan if you just fuckin time it
IM TRAPPED
in fact that's the case for most large bosses
Rune rage is the only skill that has no reason to exist, not because it sucks, but because it is practically a more random version of another skill
(excepting savage beastfly and conchflie(s))
I think Rune Rage just needs to track more actively, and it'd be fine
That's just pale nails 2.0 still
And it looks cooler? Sign me the fuck up!
Rune rage sucks because the lag is so long and then it does medium damage when a boss is stunned it's better to swing and use other silk skills then rune rage
I'd like it to have it's own niche
I'll probably do it for Silksoul
That’s just a false statement, just because both summon “weapons” doesn’t mean that they’re virtually identical
Do bosses in this game also take 1 DMG per hit while stunned
uhh what's happening
Except they are virtually identical
No that was for THK
all the problems with rune rage are extremely overexaggerated
Good, I doubt if I should use my skills while bosses are stunned constantly since idk if they'll just do 1 dmg
They aren’t. That’s just objectively false.
No that's just thk when it's doing its stabby phase
I thought it was every boss?
No
rune rage is fine people just forget the game isn't pure bossslop
you can use it when the boss is active and it hits more often than you think
No, damage is only decreased to one when thk is stabbing itself
Damn I've been living a lie this whole time
Bro started stabbing itself and the depression gave him protective aura
it's just a slower witch bind
just predict when the boss is gonna stop moving and drop a rune rage
Defender's crest: suddenly has more DPS than a normal attack
you don't even need to get close to it
My depression wants me to live bro wtf
OR use the better pale nails that don't need to do all that and are always good because they never miss
Yes for 60 damage
Sharpdart does 73
silksong fans when the skill that blows up half the screen doesn't do the most damage to a single target
Honestly I wouldn't ind runerage just being a more consistent, weaker damage pale nails
Also, pale nails always target the weakest or more annoying enemy or STH because they always hit the enemy I want
Actually it's too slow for that
Pale nails make coral tower a joke
They should reduce the charge time or buff the damage and then it'll be fine
If you're gonna make me float in the middle of the screen like a jackass, I'd hope you do good damage
right, the skill that you only unlock in act 3 and has barely a fraction of rune rage's aura
38 seconds
Pale nails can miss against enemies that disappear from the field
Hi! Can anyone tell me how to defeat Widow phase 2?
@slender juniper karmelita with hunter attempt
First Sinner, LL, etc.
unfortunately due to rushing so much i get hit quite a bit
and it does
The only time rune rage is useful is like with gauntlets
killing a lot of enemies is its use case yes
You need to basically beat act 2 to get to first sinner and you can get pale nails pretty soon and earlier than rune rage even
gauntlets, large bosses, bosses that summon minions
avg guy using Karmelita/Grand Reeds as training dummies
Witch bind better
that's a lot actually
Yeah because rune rage can hit those LOL
You can get Rune Rage in act 1
yeah but even if, it still suuuuuuuuuucksss
Only the first one the other times it's shite
No? You need the putrified ducks key
I never said it could hit them. Rune Rage isn’t for them
You can get it in Act 1. I’ve done it, others have done it
Be very careful of her telegraphs. After she attacks a bit she will always slash across the screen. That attack is the biggest threat during this phase, so pay close attention to her telegraph and jump over it
Act 1 Mount Fay
I still think its one of the visually coolest skills in the game
first sinner is very much beatable in mid act 2
Well... This discussion was always about rune rage Vs pale nails so then it doesn't make sense to bring that up
it isn't even that hard
the coolest
You need to get wings, go to memorium and then putrified ducts
It's not hard, you won't ever get it at an early act 2
I’m just saying that Pale Nails can miss in some situations. You said it can never miss. That’s a false statement
Technically you could do grand reef skip
You don’t need Memorium, just Groal
Apostate Key is in the Huntress room
groal also needs wings
Well.
Yes, which is why Act 1 Mount Fay makes Rune Rage possible in Act 1
Oh yeah, cause that's easier lol
I can dodge that. The problem beggins with the bells bouncing up again, I just don't see them
It’s not about easy, it’s about being possible
and it balls against groal the great, grandmother silk, and broodmother
Why do you hate nkg?
the fight sucks
and high halls gauntlet
A skill issue perhaps?
I never said you can get pale nails early, I'm saying you're realistically never getting rune rage early or mid act 2
Imo, he's very fun
nope!
I think he's easy
Yeah
And here's me who has gotten Act 3 via Act 1 by avoiding Act 2 entirely with NMG MG.
respect
master's glory
HORNET
Homophobic
Odulent
Racist
Necromantic
Eager
Transphobic
Who will be at the end of p5 in ss so you think?
Necromantic Hornet
Found lace
V2
V2?
Newfoundla nd ce
i'd argue you can get rune rage before most of the fun parts in act 2
Lost and found lace
Absolute Mother Silk
I don't think V2 is in silksong
Again, this was never about possibilities, it's about what you're realistically gonna do
V2 = Voltvyrm 2?
and realistically, that's what i did
It better not be v2 her ass is dead
no one's gonna rush the story in a metroidvania
Yeah
her ass is dead as fuck!
Maybe a duel fight against gms and ll at the same time. I saw a video of a mod that does this, and it looks like it would be a really fun fight
And no one's gonna rush double jump for groal or memorium for apostate key for slab, beat the slab and then do first sinner for rune rage
I think they need to add marksman revolver in SoS
Name: Lost and Chained
I hate the clover dancers fight
You don’t have to rush it, it can be something you just do
it's not an unlikely scenario
you get a movement ability and explore
I just get the key for first sinner so I can fight her again (it's one of the best fights in the game)
Yeah, and you're just doing it late act 2 which is my whole ass point
(And the other guy is actually talking about rushing it so yeah...)
Oh yeah and for the percentage point
1st sinner fight is peak
I want a key for that
I wanna fight her again its so peak
nobody's talking about rushing it bruh
No, you can do it in late act 2 just as easily as you can do it in early/mid act 2
I don't think anyone is doing what I just said early or mid act 2
is it that much of a stretch for someone to get a movement ability before the melodies
And potasmium said that’s the route they took
I hate the clover dancers fight sm
Not rushing, exploration
Verdania is pretty
Then you think wrong
But i just hate the fight
It’s not even a hard fight…
Oh I meant for each new save file that's why I get the key for first sinner. There isn't a key to fight her multiple times in one save file
and is it that much of a stretch for someone to get a movement ability and think "cool, i think i will use this to explore because this is a metroidvania game"
Yeah
It’s just cogwork dancers b
From my experience and what I've seen on other people's playthroughs, I'm right
That’s like saying “no one would ever reach act 2 through the mist”
The fight is fine, I just don't like the runback
Ya no Fratute has a point
Yeah except you're basically drastically reducing everything you need to do lol
Well no shit you’re right from your own experience
The Unravelled is the hardest boss in Silksong.
Change my mind.
And how many other experiences have you watched
Me when I don't read
The Putrified ducts is generally one of the last areas you get to and otherwise you need double jump and killing groal
Two separate replies
reducing what bro
Uhhhhh, gurr?
But it's not even just the ducts, you also need to do the slab
Also that
Gurr was so difficult
Chat, whats the pale kings role in pharloom if he had any
Albeit I feel like that’s more reasonable
"or"
Cause you can get caught in act 1
You're basically presenting as people get double jump explore and they find rune rage while not already being late act 2
just pull up to the memorium and see the breakable wall
And that makes you get the 2* keys
@subtle lynx
No, only the first 2
I had so much fun with first sinner
I cant even beat clover dancers and im attempting to fight them now
I like the hl2 reference in ducts
Idk how many, but I'd say at least 10
is that too much of a stretch
Ive been killed for such stupid reasons during the fight
So it’s really just when do you get apostates and imo that’s generally much latter of a thing
It's very cool
10 is nothing compared to the total number of people who have played the game
Here’s the thing
Ok?
I found groal pretty fun
Ok ok let’s put it this way
Take your time, don't be greedy, dodge
Rune rage no matter what is bad for being an act 2 exclusive
So you have a small sample size for asserting your claim as fact
if i really wanted to go there i'd say get act 1 faydown cloak
It doesn’t even matter when In act 2 you get it
Also I'm changing my prediction for SoS release date to either May 28 or June 4. My initial prediction was the 29 or 5, bc those are Fridays, but Team Cherry seams much more inclined to release dlc on Thursdays, bc 3 of HK's dlc released on Thursday, not to mention silksong released Thursday. This may extend to their major game patches as well, but I haven't checked (yet)
It’s definitely in need of a buff, true
W barnacle
For being a skill you can’t get in act 2 it’s worse then Cross stitch silk spear and Thread storm
rune rage should have better aim
It’s also worse then sharpdart but that’s also act 2 unless you do the skip
While we can't get fact from this sample size it does lead to making much more informed conclusions about the game than if you just had your own experience
You can get it in act 1 of course, but regardless it needs a buff
10 other people is pretty good
Except I have reasons to believe what I said is a fact, and your guys argument is just downplaying how unreasonable it is to say someone will do all the steps to get rune rage and still not be late in act 2
First sinner is the type of boss i would fight over and over again if there’s a godhome-like dlc in silksong, just like how i am with grimm
The threadstorm nerf was not needs
ok
Me af but with Karmelita
define "late act 2"
Yeah
The thing is, someone in this chat just said their experience resulted in rune rage being acquired pretty early into act 2
Karmelita so fun
Rune rage was my last unlock of act 2
75% + act 2 explored
Okay?
Literally right before I went to fight gms and start act 3
I got rune rage after I got third melody
So 10 people is not enough to account for everything, not even close. Fratute is acting like it is
i'll put it this way
what would be the last story boss the player would have beaten
He's only difficult if you go there as soon as possible. The only real danger he presents if you get every other combat item before fighting him is the nerves when fighting him in steel soul bc his health bar is pretty big
Hello 👋
What is the statement trying to be made?
same with karmelita for me
There are a ton of ways to play through the game and countless orders in which you can acquire things. Early act 2 rune rage is not unrealistic or unreasonable
Yeah
It doesn't make sense to put it that way since it is a metroidvania, again, late game act 2 is 75% of the game beaten in my opinion, you could argue it is 66% so that it is divided in equally sized sections
As if someone who has 112% hk and 100% SK would ever have a wive
Obtaining Rune Rage in early/mid Act 2 is unrealistic
Yeah
It's not unreasonable or unrealistic but it is definitely unlikely
spogos are crazy man i'll try hitless next
But it's not me, it's bing bong
Unlikely compared to the norm, sure definitely
We've already gone over this, I'm not repeating myself again
do silk skills (including rune rage) not count as a percent
I can add like, 6 or so people to Fratute's sample size, everyone got Rage late
They each count as a percentage point
My favourite silk skill is pale nails
I haven't even thought this, but finding the slab by itself is already hard to do if you haven't been csptured
Rune rage is mid to late actually 2 imo
Faydown cloak isn’t hard to get at all, doesn’t take much
And much more stuff, which is what I've been saying
I forget where the entrance is but yeah doesn't that require apostate if you're not captured?
There’s a sign pointing to it
Finding the slab is as simple as exploring
You need crawline for it
what was the other opinion i didnt read the discussion
If you don't know what you're doing it, it is
Which means you need to either go through white ward or you’ve beaten trobbio
Yeah in the room before it? That isn't even a good sign it tells you nothing
Either way you’re basically approaching the mid way point of act 2 at that point
It’s the same kinda sign that marked the Marrow jail
"much more stuff" is it too much of a stretch to say that someone starts exploring when they get a new movement ability
Eh
None of the platforming in SK is hard. I can't wait until SK's version of PoP
Same
So it signifies to an uncaptured player “oh hey there’s a jail here”
Nameless town climb was such a disappointment
Yeah
Fr
You get memento and journal and Mr mushroom 
I swear when i kill the clover dancers i will have no shame, I WILL BE SO HAPPY
Guys, I think I glitched the game...
One of the reasons I'm so excited for the dlc is bc they're actually going to add real challenges to the game. The base game is too easy
Welp time to get witch crest on my 100% speedrun save
Finally gonna be able to go back to it
Get cursed ending in steel soul. It gives a new menu background trust trust fr fr
Honestly I can no hit gms
Like the Widow isn't spawning but the music is playing
Albeit that would require me beating a steel soul run up to that point
The nerves sure as hell will make sure you cant
Which I have Not done
Okay so let me write down all the steps for someone to find rune rage after getting into act 2:
Find whiteward key
Explore whiteward
Explore underworks
Find clawline
Get captured/go through the random hall in choral chambers that happens to lead to the slab
Go to mount fay
Get wings
Go to memorium and find the secret entrance to putrified ducts (1 hidden passage + 1 hidden wall) or do groal in an area most people will leave for late game naturally
Find the key in ducts
Go back to the slab and explore it if you haven't done so
Find first sinner which is a hidden boss btw
Beat it
You're telling me someone who's never played the game and doesn't know where anything is, is gonna do all of this early to mid act 2? And someone experienced is gonna prefer to do all this stuff to get rune rage while they could be getting much better upgrades?
I feel like a lot of people get captured by accident in act 1
There’s a guy to capture you right outside of the greymoor bellway
There’s also one in a very obvious wall climb spot
I feel so too
It isn’t a random hallway, it’s a sign that’s on the path to the Choral Chambers Ventrica, there’s an incentive to reach that hallway and a reason to explore it because of the sign
This can also be simplified because you find the underworks right after you beat trobbio
Good thing i did it in act 3
Such a tragedy for those who don't 
And once you beat trobbio you basically gotta go get crawline
Yeah, that's if you even decided to explore left side choral chambers where there is no incentive to do so since none of the main story elements are there
Groal may not be done late game, stubborn players and tool spam enjoyers exist
I survived cursed ending in steel soul with one mask left. I later went on to die at lost garmond bc I forgot literally all of his attack patterns. I have not tried steel soul since then
I also didn’t get captured… I killed all the jailers lmfao
This guy did it in act 3👆
I did*
It's called "Silk Issue"
Oh lmfao
I got captured in act 1 and it was wonderful
Does another experience count btw?
The Grand Gate entrance takes you past the Ventrica, any remotely curious player would want to find a way to reach the Ventrica
I didn’t find that ventrica till halfway into act 2
We've counted 17 experiences btw rn
I didn't find it until late act 2 cause I never needed it
Also I’m telling you rn after you drop into under works
The only thing you want is a bench that doesn’t disappear and a bellway
😭
The sheer amount of people who have played this game means that there are players, such as potasium, who have gotten Rune Rage fairly early
Hey @normal bramble did you find rune rage early or late act 2?
Right before starting act 3
Oh, 18
