as long as a flying enemy doesnt get the small buzzsaw one

main glacier
#

this guy takes 17 hits to kill while voided

left crypt
#

im not saying weak

main glacier
#

as well as the flying guys

left crypt
#

they are tanky

#

but mostly easy to dodge

#

the void attacks might be an issue

main glacier
#

with 5 masks, annoying void attack combos, DOUBLE DAMAGE contact damage

#

which i still think is dumb if its an enemy that usually only does 1 mask of contact damage

candid kayak
main glacier
#

i did the original hunters march arena after shakra (non voided) and i almost died to THAT lol

versed current
#

Hornet dies at the end of act 3

left crypt
#

oh the orginal arena is terrible

#

without dash

silk pumice
#

Honestly i didn't find either to be particularly difficult

twin summit
silk pumice
versed current
left crypt
#

on my first playthrough i went to march first and got destroyed

#

over and over

twin summit
#

i hope therell be a good ending where hornet lives in a future dlc

candid kayak
#

the skarrgard at the entrance is the game's way of telling the player "turn around and leave, come back later"

#

you see big fucking enemey who's destroying you and you nope out of there

versed current
#

Lugoli did dlc mama die

silk pumice
main glacier
left crypt
#

the skarrgard was fun

silk pumice
#

What do you suffering?

candid kayak
#

yeah the thing is

silk pumice
#

I loved hunters march

#

Its still amazing
Peak area

main glacier
#

i think the skarrguard was meant to be "dash would make this easier" but it wasnt that well communicated

left crypt
#

i didnt struggle with it too hard

silk pumice
#

Only second to sinners road because you can pick up barbed bracelet there

left crypt
#

very fun challenge

candid kayak
#

generally if you're gonna throw yourself against it over and over, you've already mentally locked yourself out of seeing what was down the other path you could've taken

#

like it is a valid way forward, but it is like

#

the path of most resistance

worldly lake
#

i remember beating the skarrgard without dash and seeing the pogo fruits and thinking, "oh, i guess i need an ability to get across" and left 💔

#

because i didn't know how to pogo

silk pumice
#

I beat him and went straight down because I kept missing the red bulbs

candid kayak
#

even though pogos are required to pass areas as early as fungal wastes in the first game

worldly lake
#

it took me until all the way to shellwood lmao

candid kayak
#

ah, a bouncy mushroom

but I can't... get a high bounce...?

#

well there seems to be no way past this tall wall right now

worldly lake
#

"oh i bounced a little off those flowers, that's so cool"

candid kayak
#

because the game never explains that you can attack downwards to bounce on enemies, props, and hazards

versed current
#

Mrs mushroom

worldly lake
#

and then i go up to the perfectly vertical area up to the bell beast and think "...oh"

light swan
#

it just sounds like a death sentence tbh

candid kayak
#

no other game has you ATTACK a mushroom to bounce on it

versed current
#

I think its just something you find out

candid kayak
#

yeah

well silksong is intended to be played after hk 1

Coiled Nail

left crypt
#

yes it is

candid kayak
#

coiled nail is funny like dude it's just a screw lol

versed current
#

You dont need to know anything about hk to play skong

left crypt
#

same is true for most sequels

candid kayak
#

what the hell is THIS

left crypt
#

but silksongs story has lots of connections to thefirst game

versed current
#

Silksong is just a harder game

Screw

candid kayak
stable mica
left crypt
#

but the true ending is too much to ignore

versed current
candid kayak
left crypt
#

void, snail shamans, shadow creepers, the abyss, red memory

#

true ending requires lots of knowledge to make any sense

candid kayak
#

nailsmith like "I reforged your nail, also I gave it a different Funny Pattern this time"

worldly lake
#

i was able to scrape by with my incredibly surface level knowledge of the game

left crypt
#

basegame is fine besides some widow dialogue

versed current
candid kayak
left crypt
#

red memory especially

versed current
#

True ending was kinda just a fan service
At least the knight part

candid kayak
#

you only need to know the first game to understand that they are sorta callbacks

#

lol

left crypt
#

but you dont really enjoy it as much

worldly lake
left crypt
#

its meant to be played second

#

not that it HAS TO

versed current
left crypt
#

but it should be

candid kayak
#

silksong's story is mostly self-contained

versed current
#

There is no intended order to play the games

candid kayak
#

again, the knight in the true ending would make absolutely no sense without prior context

#

like "who the hell is this?"

versed current
#

Theyre just chronologically different

left crypt
#

ok no

#

hollow knight is at least slightly more intended to go first

candid kayak
#

the first game provides context for the second game, and not really vice versa

left crypt
#

yes

worldly lake
left crypt
#

except for distant village and herrah making more sense

inland wind
#

Is gameplay of silksong suited for people who haven’t played hollow knight

left crypt
#

gameplay yes

wind mulch
#

u dont need to play hk

left crypt
#

story kinda

candid kayak
#

at the very least you can just like
look up a playthrough or summary

inland wind
#

I can’t make unbiased statement because I speedran hk countless times before silksong

wind mulch
#

id recommend it tho fantastic game

brave geyser
worldly lake
#

maybe enough to see the knight in the true ending and think "oh wait that's the. void guy. from the first game"

left crypt
#

i dont even care about that tbh

#

i care about red memory

versed current
#

Gameplay wise

#

You can play in any order

left crypt
#

gameplay wise i agree that silksong can be done first although it ruins the first game

worldly lake
candid kayak
#

separate learning curves for the skill

brave geyser
candid kayak
#

different enemies, different bosses, different learning

versed current
#

Story wise you still can play the games different but it might be weird

left crypt
#

playing silksong first makes hk 1 a piece of cake

#

except godhome

versed current
worldly lake
#

shrue and shralse

versed current
left crypt
#

depends on the crest you enjoy using

versed current
#

You may already be used to the hk formula but theyre still different games

worldly lake
#

i got my ass beat by early soul tyrant ten quadrillion times and gave up

left crypt
#

if its beast, witch, architect, shaman, or hunter, probably

wind mulch
#

i died a lot more in hk than i did ss i know that much

left crypt
#

but reaper and wanderer are both very similar to the knights moveset

#

especially wanderer

candid kayak
#

I wish reaper had more going for it

versed current
brave geyser
left crypt
#

dash is in both games what

brave geyser
#

Iam never greeding clawline damage ever again

candid kayak
#

at its core it's just... really poor attack speed in exchange for a bit more range and an underwhelming bind effect that ends as soon as you take any damage

versed current
left crypt
#

sprint

brave geyser
candid kayak
#

the sprint is so much better

left crypt
#

i didnt even know dash was a sprint until act 2 lol

versed current

#

i wish silksong had shade soul 😔

left crypt
#

i just spammed it like in hk

candid kayak

brave geyser

#

sharp shadow main

brave geyser
#

nono shade soul is vspirit upgrade

left crypt
#

oh i thought he meant shade cloak

worldly lake
#

i don't even have sharp shadow i just like phasing through attacks

candid kayak
#

shade soul is the upgraded fireball

worldly lake
#

fuck

left crypt
#

yea he meant shade cloak

worldly lake
#

shade cloak

#

shade soul is a different thing

left crypt
#

if silksong had DDark it would be so over

versed current
#

Sharp dart proves sharp shadow wouldve been good if not for the extra dash distance

worldly lake
#

actually dumb

sharp shadow's extra dash distance is really annoying in platforming

hornet is so mobile that even without the knights crazy iframes ur still busted

worldly lake
brave geyser
#

I wouldn't even care if sharp shadow was 3 notches without the dash distance

left crypt
#

it hits twice

candid kayak
#

me trying to dash between the collapsing platforms in queen's garden when they're spaced exactly one normal dash away from each other and sharp shadow overshoots the platform and hurts me

wind mulch
#

sharp shadow is horrendous

left crypt
#

my friend cant take it off

candid kayak
#

the damage is extremely poor

left crypt
#

its okay

brave geyser
candid kayak
#

it's all about how it feels tbh

left crypt
#

my friend loves shade dash

#

hes kinda a noob

candid kayak
#

it feels good, but it's weak

brave geyser
#

Love shade dash hate sharo shadow

brave geyser
#

sharo shadow is like the pollup pouch of hk

left crypt
#

he has it with dashmaster too 😭

versed current
#

Dont argue about ss bro pls

candid kayak
#

1 unbuffed nail hit, with a huge delay between each hit and you don't gain soul from it either

brave geyser
#

You feel like it genuinely carried you but if you take it off and don't use it for like 10 minutes you'd get the same result

never heard of it

can't stop thinking about the time I was scrolling through a yt short's comment section (the video was abt phantom) and there was this one person in someone's replies that's like "WELL HORNET USES GENDER NEUTRAL PRONOUNS FOR LIKE EVERYTHING IN THE HUNTER'S JOURNAL AND IT DOESN'T EXPLICITY SAY THAT PHANTOM IS NONBINARY SO USING SHE/HER FOR PHANTOM IS COMPLETELY ACCURATE

They were trying so hard to defend their position too like bro please stop just accept that you're wrong gosh

sharp slate
queen acorn
#

i think its cz lace says "she spun us to fade sister"

#

or sum like that

latent berry
#

it makes more sense that phantom is talking to lace in that sense

queen acorn
#

wait lemme find the

latent berry
#

besides, they've lost more hope and are speaking a lot more negatively 'she spun us to fade' as they wither away due to not having new silk

queen acorn
#

even still she said sister

latent berry
#

well if phantom did use she/her, wouldn't it actually be used a lot more often in the game's text?
They are always referred to with they/them

toxic vigil

#

Hello!

toxic vigil
sharp slate
latent berry
#

every instance of referring to phantom is gender neutral, i don't know if there's other references made about them from other npcs but even then

#

and just like people so desperately trying to say they use she/her are crazy to me because why are you insiting on being exclusionary
just let us have our shred of representation please

sharp slate
latent berry
#

even then gender can change

sharp slate
#

i dont think we should just say that people are discriminating because they are arguing lore

latent berry
#

yeah I'm not saying that's how everyone who takes that stance is, it's just the one I've most commonly seen

left crypt
#

I mean yea all weavers are females and lace is too so phantom is likely female as well

sharp slate
#

it would just seem odd to me lore wise for team cherry to pick phantom as non-binary rep in the game tbh

latent berry
#

I wouldn't be suprised if Phantom was forced into that role of femininity because of GMS, like seen with lace acting like a child for GMS' approval
either way i should probably go to sleep

sharp slate
#

kinda curious is there no other npcs that use they them? not sure off top my head

latent berry
#

cardinius uses its

left crypt
#

I mean anything can use they them

mellow totem
#

guys any strat for groal i am really struggling in this boss i got the secret bench as wel

latent berry
#

it takes longer but it's the only way i've been able to beat him so far

# latent berry water.

but when he spawns enemies mid fight its hard to dodge their attacks if u stay in water

left crypt
latent berry
#

yeah or right underneath the platform

latent berry
static rose
latent berry
#

that's hilarious to me
either way I actually have to go to bed

left crypt
#

Also be patient in the fight

static rose
left crypt
#

Don’t be greedy for damage

mellow totem
#

also is it worth leaving bilewater to get multi binder ascendants grip i dont rlly want to do the platforming again thats why ive been using the same cogflies pollip pouch and threefold pin

left crypt
#

Id avoid red tools

static rose
left crypt
#

Until you know you can win with them

static rose
#

The deciding factor isn't gonna be tools it's gonna be dealing with what groal can throw at you

mellow totem
#

true

graceful oyster
static rose
#

Though if you reach phase 2 feel free to spam cogflies like crazy

mellow totem
#

i think i should finish him with my current situation rather than leaving bilwater and coming back

static rose
#

But yeah use needle strike its very very good

#

Harpoon in -> dash out is also valid but worse

left crypt
#

Honestly just keep trying

#

He’s really simple when you get to learn him

mellow totem
#

for now ive been reserving toold till the boss then spammed cogflies and all my pins till he went 2nd phase

left crypt
#

The eating attack is easy

#

The exploding balls are difficult kinda but hugging the walls works pretty well

#

And when he summons enemies, just dodge their attacks and let them go away

mellow totem
#

okay so basically jut dodge the enemies and hit groal from the water

left crypt
#

I don’t recommend the water honestly but I’ve never tried it

#

I always stay on the edge of the arena

#

Just keep trying but don’t use red tools

mellow totem
#

what crest do u reccomend

left crypt
#

Honestly doesn’t matter but just not witch or beast

#

You don’t pogo in the fight anyway

static rose
#

Architect imo

mellow totem
#

im using reaper rn

static rose
#

Not bad

left crypt
#

Reaper is great

#

Best range which is good for growl

#

Architect is good for tool spam but it is kinda no skill

static rose
#

Needle strike yall

weary sorrel
left crypt
#

True

mellow totem
#

so i think for now im gonna try to get him seconsd phase without usage of tools and then spam cogflies

static rose
#

It's literally dash slash but for silksong

ancient mortar
#

Reaper is lacking in damage per second, you don't need much range for him since they are a big target. Wanderer is easy to use and good for newer players

static rose
#

And like dash slash is crazy in hk

left crypt
#

Dps is hard to come by, even hitting once is good

static rose
#

The arena also

left crypt
#

Wanderer had short range

static rose
#

Reaper is good into the arena

left crypt
#

Groal is a hard fight imo

ancient mortar
vast grove
#

HHIIIIIIIIhiiiii

left crypt
#

Width still helps

ancient mortar
#

The hitbox is smaller vertically

weary sorrel
ancient mortar
#

But slightly longer then hunter horizontally

left crypt
#

But for groal, crest barely matters

#

Wanderer and reaper both have the same memory locket slots

mellow totem
#

aight ima attempt him with this strat

left crypt
#

Good luck

ancient mortar
#

Beast hunter or wanderer are pretty great for groal

weary sorrel
#

I ate groal

left crypt
#

Beast is hard to heal with

static rose
#

I would not recommend beast for groal. Being aggressive on groal is a bad idea for new players

left crypt
#

Yes

weary sorrel
#

I was once a new player 😔

left crypt
#

Beast is not really meant for new players period

ancient mortar
# left crypt Beast is hard to heal with

I'd say it's not so bad once you are used to it. It's even better for healing with the right strategy. You can straight face tank with that shit and not lose much health

ancient mortar
left crypt
#

When you get used to it, it probably demolishes groal

ancient mortar
#

Wanderers is ideal for newer players that need more DPS though I personally don't find it very fun

vast grove
#

is killing groal while in his mouth possible?

weary sorrel
ancient mortar
#

I like hunters the most but it's only strong if you are using it correct so it's not as universal

left crypt
#

I think he spits you out then immediately dies

it doesn't have a unique animation but that's what happens

Man

#

Well that makes sense too

#

Yo wish mugiwara luck guys

mellow totem
#

oh my

#

i almost first tried him

#

i made it to second phase on 1 hp and started the cog fly spam but when i jumped to pin he sucked me and i died

left crypt
#

At least you’re close

mellow totem
#

the only thing that bothers me is that my shard amount is going down

left crypt
#

Don’t use pin

mellow totem
#

what should i use

#

i got volt vessels

static rose
#

Don't use those if you're running low on shards

left crypt
#

Either don’t use a second tool to conserve shards or use curveclaw if you have it

#

I’ve heard curveclaw is good

mellow totem
#

im currently using my reserve shards to do this

left crypt
#

Maybe just keep cogflies than

static rose
#

You might want to take a break and do other stuff

mellow totem
#

ye good idea

static rose
#

The reason the shard system exists at all is to encourage you to take breaks

mellow totem
#

i just got on this is my first attempt since yesterday

#

so i will try for a bit

left crypt
#

How many attempts do you have on groal

mellow totem
#

hm like 6

left crypt
#

He took me like 8 or 9

#

I don’t think I used any red tools

#

Maybe plasmium phial

#

Another tip is that you should only heal when you know it’s absolutely safe

#

Because healing at the wrong time can mean instant death

#

And for silk skills I would use silk spear or thread storm

Hi ! I am doing a statisical study that aims to establish a sort of "community ranking" of the silksong bosses.
The idea is to put this ranking into perspective with in-game characteristics, in order to determine what aspects of a boss make it more likeable by the playerbase.
This kind of project requires a lot of data, so I was wondering if there was any place in this server where a survey such as this can get many replies. If there isn't, I understand perfectly

Here is the link to it : https://qualtricsxmzrm5mh8q6.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8vRCbIxInauUHdA

And here are some more details about it :

You will need to have beaten all 46 bosses in the game in order to be sure you can answer all the questions.

What this survey does is ask you ten times your favorite boss between two randomly selected ones. (In order to be short and easy to answer)

This "randomization" is impossible in most survey making tools. This is the only one I found, and it has some drawbacks.

Mainly, I could not insert images, so you will have to know all bosses names by heart.

(Also, I asked the mods and they told me to post this here)

oh hell na im on 3 shell shards

You can still beat him without red tools

I did

mellow totem

I used my 3 reserves and im back on 240 now

#

bro his green ball somehow exploded in the water and i died

slim thorn
mellow totem
#

yes i only use tools when i enter second phaase

left crypt
#

What is your crafting kit level

#

Or how many kits do you have

mellow totem
#

uhm 0

left crypt
#

Then tools really aren’t helping

mellow totem
#

i dont have any kits so yh

#

i shoulve gotten some

#

u know what i didnt want to leave bilewater until i beat groal but i think this is my only choice

left crypt
#

4 cogflies do a less than a tenth of his health

#

Just keep fighting him

mellow totem
#

u think i can do this without tools upgrades?

left crypt
#

Don’t use red tools honestly

#

It’s what I did

mellow totem
#

okay so basicallyno tools

sharp tundra
#

is sea of sorrow tomorrow yet

left crypt

Plasmium phial is good

#

If you have it

i dont have it hto

left crypt

Oh

#

Needle upgrades?

mellow totem
#

left crypt
#

Have you done great taste of pharloom

mellow totem
#

nope

#

i figured ishould do it after groal

left crypt
#

Groals reward is pretty good

mellow totem
#

part of me is saying i should get out of bilewater for now and go get tool upgrades maybe needle 3 and come back

left crypt
#

If you want

mellow totem
#

should i?

left crypt
#

Groal is a late act 2 boss

#

Have you gotten any melodies

i finished all 3

slim thorn

If you can beat high halls then you can basically do anything in act 2 with enough effort

left crypt
#

High halls is BRUTAL

mellow totem
left crypt
#

dear god

slim thorn
# mellow totem yes

dodge him for like 3 minutes with some hit to recover health sometimes, you will build up courage to land more and more hits and it will die before you know, just focus on keeping your health high

mellow totem
#

i abused harpoon and double jump

mellow totem
left crypt
#

Don’t use the water

slim thorn

Exactly what he’s saying

slim thorn

if you hear traps you stay on the wall, if you see enemies you dodge and kill if you know how

mellow totem
#

aight im gonna attempt it ill be back

Good luck

I’m going to bed but good luck and hopefully you can beat groal
