[lucid trellis]

i never got captured, i only got around to the slab in act 3 with the key

[thorny mica]

I mean sounds like I can! From the Slab into the citadel!

[wind gate]

Sinner's road is the only way to skip last judge

[exotic cedar]

Hk is kinda easier compared to sk, plus there's 12 more % so you can choose like something instead of something else

[wind gate]

The citadel path is blocked

[undone gate]

It's one tool I will just use mods to use it not play Steel Soul

[thorny mica]

Awwwww....

[exotic cedar]

Hk map is more small and there's not much threats compared to sk's

[amber wedge]

wwhat if U go out of bounds

[meager jolt]

I also like Zi and Sula, and I think Styx is a chud

[onyx python]

the steel woman in hk is useless

[wind gate]

They made sure you can't do that

[earnest drift]

styx deserved to die

[wind gate]

Unless you hack

which is for losers

[earnest drift]

skynx is not a simp

[meager jolt]

YES

[undone gate]

I remember trying Silksong Steel Soul once and I died in the Ant Arena towards dash because I got sniped while healing

[amber wedge]

i clipped out of bounds once in a random place so surely with enough persistence i can do it there

[onyx python]

but he's so cool he cooks food for me

[exotic cedar]

Yeah you can also like fall into lava thrice and then die (saying from experince)
Also contact damage

[wind gate]

Try it then, prove me wrong

[earnest drift]

hornet is a hypocrite muckroaches are gross but raw silkworms are yummy yum apparently

[exotic cedar]

God i hate seamstress house room

[meager jolt]

Silkeaters are grubs

[spark anchor]

Crustcrag and Massive Mossgrub journal entries

[exotic cedar]

Such ass to traverse

[amber wedge]

silksongs early game is lowkey insanely hard relative to the rest of the game

[wind gate]

She has her own taste buds man

[spark anchor]

eugenics 😡
eugenics, but fluffy 😁

[earnest drift]

this too

[exotic cedar]

Yeah

Act 1 you don't have much upgrades

[amber wedge]

all of my steel soul deaths were within the first like 1-2h of the file

[earnest drift]

hornet gives in to her desires too often

[wind gate]

Huge and soft, a fantastic combination

[undone gate]

You have like 1 mask, 3 spool upgrades, 1 nail upgrade, 25 tools

[amber wedge]

you have literally nothing

[earnest drift]

25 wha

[amber wedge]

and then U get double jump in act 2

[meager jolt]

RUINED by its haunted aggression

[short trout]

Yea the economy as well is atrocious even after the buff

[spark anchor]

probably of all colours

[amber wedge]

and U just get everything

[earnest drift]

how many memory lockets in act 1

[exotic cedar]

Masks are really improtant

[amber wedge]

6 or 7

[earnest drift]

die wait nvm

[wind gate]

[amber wedge]

Dude

[civic island]

Chat

[earnest drift]

can you get the blue vesticrest in act 1

[spark anchor]

no

[civic island]

Nah

[earnest drift]

what about the yellow

[spark anchor]

that's without skips btw

[civic island]

Ye

[meager jolt]

I think so

[spark anchor]

yeah you can

[meager jolt]

Why do you ask, lace?

[civic island]

How to get the one in chch

[earnest drift]

just wondering how upgraded you can be for last judge

[spark anchor]

where

[exotic cedar]

What is chch

[wind gate]

can you beat Silksong without song?

[latent terrace]

Can you replay the minigame in flea festival after you're done with the rewards?

[civic island]

No wait

[exotic cedar]

Yes

[spark anchor]

mhm

[meager jolt]

Ah, okay

[spark anchor]

in fact... there is a bigger challenge waiting for you

[latent terrace]

Might be worth it to go to bilewater then

[spark anchor]

[civic island]

Whispering vaults

[latent terrace]

Deepnest ain't shi

[wind gate]

can you beat silksong without silk?

[spark anchor]

how does chch translate to vaults

[civic island]

Ye

[civic island]

Im dumb

[spark anchor]

mask shard in vaults?

[civic island]

Whispering vaults

[spark anchor]

oh you have to go under the room

[amber wedge]

how to bell beast

[meager jolt]

Clawline and Needolin say no

[spark anchor]

the map is quite close to the entrance

[civic island]

Idk

[undone gate]

Your like one slot away from blue vesti crest

[wind gate]

Bowser Fart Gif but with Groal The Great

[spark anchor]

right next to the scrollreader at the vaults entrance, there is a ledge peeking out that you must hit a few times to lower; then you can climb the ledge and open a shortcut to songclave and buy them map

[earnest drift]

if hornet gets another blue vesticrest, how much does the game's balance break

[spark anchor]

dear god

[meager jolt]

Beast ends all

[civic island]

Im js gonna watch a utube video when i get back home

[wind gate]

a bit

[undone gate]

Witch Crest with 5 Blues sounds insane

[slender juniper]

It won't

[lavish apex]

it instantly becomes better

[wind gate]

I thought there would've been a red vesticrest ngl

[latent terrace]

Hmm, claw mirror or sawtooth circlet on every crest

[wind gate]

btw anyone else just used the yellow vesticrest for compass

[civic island]

Yay four red tools

[amber wedge]

even after i learned the maps i still put on the compass as a comfort tool

[slender juniper]

Would be impossible

[earnest drift]

wouldn't beast break the game with 2 blues

[civic island]

I think it would be nice if it was by default

[latent terrace]

Cogflies, sting shards, conchcutters, and voltvessels

[slender juniper]

The amount of buttons on a controller is unsoficient for a red vesticrest...also it would break the game

[latent terrace]

With pollip pouch ofc

[amber wedge]

I kinda like the option

but it being by default would be nice too

[wind gate]

Default just makes it easy

[latent terrace]

Architect crest is salivating at the thought of red vesticrest

[slender juniper]

If we had a red vesticrest then, up R1 ,down R1, and then what?

[nova needle]

IMAFUCKING QUIT SK IVE BEEN STUCK ON SISTER SPLINTER FOR LIKE 2 WEEKS OR SOMETHING I TRIED TO SKIP HER BUT ITS REQUIRES MATHEMATICAL PRECISION AND ITS BASICLY IMPOSSIBLE CUZ I GOTTA BE PIXEL PERFECT AND SISTER SPLINTER IS DEMOTIVATING AF SO ITS OR I TAS THE GAME OR I QUIT OR I GET A FRIEND TO DO IT FOR ME

[slender juniper]

How

[wind gate]

the power button

[slender juniper]

😭

[latent terrace]

Whoa...

[wind gate]

Tip: you can break the branches

[latent terrace]

Take a break buddy

[nova needle]

The boss is DEMOTIVATING me bro i basicly quit the game

[slender juniper]

Brother if you can't beat sister splinter the end act 1 boss will beat your ass to obliviation

[nova needle]

I did for 3 weeks

Or 2 idk

[slender juniper]

Which crest and tools are you using

Also if the boss is demotivating you that much just skip her

[nova needle]

Cant

[slender juniper]

Yes you can

Speedruners litteraly do it

[nova needle]

The skip requires mathematical precision

[slender juniper]

It does not

[nova needle]

This

[slender juniper]

Wdym

[nova needle]

Well im not a speedrunner

[slender juniper]

You just lure an enemy

Did you do it correctly

[brave geyser]

The skip is just a pogo

[undone gate]

First make sure to use your silk skills like eighter Thread Storm or Silk Spear they one shot the minions and destroy the vines

[brave geyser]

that's literally it

[slender juniper]

Equip the warding bell use your silkspear on the ads, line them up

[brave geyser]

Zack what kinda skip are you even trying to do

[nova needle]

Basicly i fail to pogo hhat bitch ass mf cuz he aint at the rjght height and it requires me to be pixel perfect

[slender juniper]

It does not what

[brave geyser]

Literally what

[slender juniper]

😭

[brave geyser]

It's nowhere near pixel perfect

[wind gate]

Have you played hollow knight?

like the first game?

[slender juniper]

https://youtu.be/KbJIyOh4-Q0?is=BvZY68Lm4LOPlfzN

[latent terrace]

Why Moorwing specifically?

[slender juniper]

If you choose to not use the skip

Use the tips I gave you ,use silkspear,line the ads up, get better tools

Go back to explore the map instead of bashing your head

[undone gate]

The fact that there are 25 tools in Act 1 is crazy

[rocky mauve]

[nova needle]

This absolute bullshit

[slender juniper]

...did you lure the enemy

With the taunt

[nova needle]

Lemme show you what i do

[latent terrace]

Damn...

[slender juniper]

What are you even doing

[nova needle]

Yes

[latent terrace]

Is it the wind blades?

[undone gate]

How did Moorwing mess you up so bad like it sounds like you have a phycological problem with Moorwing

[slender juniper]

Then why is the enemy on the left

Did you reset the room

[exotic cedar]

Personal beef with moorwing

[latent terrace]

Must had fought the guy on act 3

[amber wedge]

is not mathmatical, lure the enemy all the way down until the enemy goes to your side, then pogo when it is at the apex of its height

[undone gate]

I guess your mental state wasn't good when fighting Moorwing because otherwise that's just is not possible

[amber wedge]

and thats the entire skip

[latent terrace]

Do you fought Moorwing on act 1 or 3?

Huh....

[undone gate]

See you clearly weren't fighting Moorwing in a good mental state

[latent terrace]

Garmond and Zaza help?

[amber wedge]

u were fighting a modded version of moorwing

[wind gate]

jump over him

[amber wedge]

ur game was bugged

[wind gate]

[undone gate]

If you fight a boss for 9 hours in a day without proper breaks you will just never win

[amber wedge]

are U sure

[amber wedge]

youd be surprised

[slender juniper]

Cloak

You're using the cloak, don't cloak, you pogo and dash

The cloak prevents you from grabbing the ledge

[nova needle]

It Litterally mathematical precision i have to TAS this shit i aint good at the game im no speedrunner

[slender juniper]

Pogo, dash to the right

No cloak

[nova needle]

How

[finite swift]

hey guys olook underthere

[wind gate]

Did you play the first Hollow Knight game pls tell me

[amber wedge]

that last one would have worked if you pogoed

[nova needle]

I play on switch 2

[slender juniper]

.pogo and then right dash

[nova needle]

Yeah but if i dont use the closck then i fall down

[slender juniper]

You don't

https://youtu.be/KbJIyOh4-Q0?is=BvZY68Lm4LOPlfzN

[nova needle]

Fine il try that

[undone gate]

This is like saying I spent 10 hours fighting Moss Mother with my hards tied up so she is the hardest boss in the game

[brave geyser]

Yea you don't instantly open cloak

[subtle lynx]

I used that skip for my sub 5 hours

[nova needle]

Or ill just buy the game on pc lesrn how to tas this game replay it untill that point then do thenskip or sister splinter thatbway

[subtle lynx]

Only skip I've used in all my life

[slender juniper]

.... sister splinter skip is nowhere near TAS

[wind gate]

TAS still requires human input LMAO

[amber wedge]

it is a skip so its not like the easiest thing in the world

[nova needle]

Ik

[amber wedge]

itll probably take u a couple of tries

[subtle lynx]

It's pretty easy

[undone gate]

Modding is like way easier than TAS

[brave geyser]

Mobile player here. It's not tas. You can do it on like 30 fps. Maybe even less

[subtle lynx]

I did it first try and I never did a skip

[amber wedge]

IK

[brave geyser]

Fratute i missed u

[wind gate]

https://tenor.com/view/bubble-bubble-tadc-tadc-the-amazing-digital-circus-i'm-having-a-baby-gif-2265997756944399670

[slender juniper]

Will you cry if I say the next bosses are way harder than sister splinter

[nova needle]

Yeah i got it

If i die then games over

[slender juniper]

Did you get the skip

[nova needle]

Yeah

AHHHHHHHHHHG

[amber wedge]

be careful

[slender juniper]

Farm silk from the easy enemies

[nova needle]

The stakes are super uktr ahugh if i fail well im fucked catastrophicly

[wind gate]

I'm having a boiby

[slender juniper]

I believe

[brave geyser]

Not quite once you get a skip down once you pretty much are able to get it everytime

[nova needle]

FUCKKKK I DIED

[brave geyser]

Unless it's QGA

[brave geyser]

No time for crying yet go back there

[nova needle]

3 nonilion years it will take me to get back there

[brave geyser]

I know that

[visual musk]

hey on the topic of sister splinter im literally listening to her theme song rn

absolute banger btw

[nova needle]

Shes mie

[amber wedge]

wait why does it say several people are typing with names instead of several people are typing

[wind gate]

Sister Splinter is mine

[mortal elm]

nuh uh

[visual musk]

irrelevant but crop yo damn pfp

[nova needle]

Btw i find that hunters march is awsome its like kne kf my favorite areas

[amber wedge]

ur discord is Bugged son

[brave geyser]

Yea reaper is just not good for first sinner i have been relying on clawline for damage the whole time
Though iam doing her hitless too. Not sure if that affects much of anything

[amber wedge]

learn the way of the reaper crest

Liar.

[visual musk]

im a beast crester and literally had to swap to hunter just to beat her but her fight was also absolutely amazing, loved the music and her abilities

[amber wedge]

wait how did you do tha.

[heady iron]

You made that user up just now

[mortal elm]

diagonal pogo is fun

[amber wedge]

Planetary might be a discord dev ngl

[nova needle]

Sk is easy

[mortal elm]

diagonal pogo is peak

[nova needle]

Got it first try

[amber wedge]

first they have a bugged discord and now they are pinging nonexistent pings

[queen acorn]

those who snow

[amber wedge]

thats edited

that user does not exist

[mortal elm]

silksong is much more fun when ur pc has 30 minute time limits that don’t auto save ur progress :DD

[amber wedge]

see

[brave geyser]

I know that iam just trying hitless bosses with every crest
Already did hunter now it's reaper time

[flint oasis]

that several people user is my friend ok this hurts their feelings

[brave geyser]

Iam right here bro

[amber wedge]

I was waiting for u to get it 😭

[brave geyser]

Iam sorry but who even are you 💔

[short trout]

Whats happening

[amber wedge]

Anything for the bit

Its ok we are all chuds

[flint oasis]

wtf i didnt know it was a real person i thought he just typed in there as a joke

[still osprey]

Always ragebait, never be honest

[brave geyser]

Iam literally right here yo 💔

[flint oasis]

i genuinely dont even know whats hapening 🥹

[amber wedge]

Yo welcome to the server! are you new here?

[amber wedge]

ragebait becomes a way of life at a certain point

To not ragebait is to not live

[flint oasis]

does several people have like multiple people on the account so like its multiple people

[earnest drift]

ragebaiting is bad

[flint oasis]

on

[earnest drift]

please don't ragebait people

[amber wedge]

U gotta try harder than this

[flint oasis]

what do you guys think is the most easy to use crest

[nova needle]

How do i do this yall

[earnest drift]

architect

[flint oasis]

gatekeep

[nova needle]

How

[amber wedge]

watch the video that was linked a little bit ago @nova needle

[slender juniper]

Float to the left

Dash ,float left

[brave geyser]

There's a platform to the left

[flint oasis]

lowkey reaper is so easy to use and the passive is nice

[amber wedge]

so true

[slender juniper]

.. that's not even...what

[nova needle]

Ik if i float i cant grab it

[brave geyser]

Yea iam just not gonna do first sinner yet

[amber wedge]

what about second sinner

[slender juniper]

Dash left and then float

[flint oasis]

go fight the 3rd sinner hes ez

[nova needle]

Ig ima use yhe thing that has my silk when i die to do it

[slender juniper]

It ...gets you back to sister splinter

[brave geyser]

You can grab it when floating
See the reason we told you not to float earlier was because it stopped you from jumping all the way up

[slender juniper]

[brave geyser]

You can grab ledges when you floating above them

[amber wedge]

wait wouldnt clawline be better there

[slender juniper]

Yes float grabs are weird

[nova needle]

I dont get enough height bro

Cant float

[amber wedge]

Watch the video

[brave geyser]

Just float and dash atp

[amber wedge]

like just watch the video

[brave geyser]

Anyway guys what boss do i do with reaper now

[slender juniper]

...dash to the left and cloak

[amber wedge]

let me think.. have u tried First sinner?

[brave geyser]

I tried
Could beat her, got her to 488/2100 tho
Iam trying them hitless too

[nova needle]

Well ig ima die thenuse that to pogo of it

[onyx python]

last judge

[brave geyser]

and honestly reaper was not good at all for first sinner i had to opt for clawline damage instead (W ability anyway)

[amber wedge]

@nova needle if u just watch this it shows u exactly what to do

including the jump

[wind gate]

Silksong is so much more fun with joycon drift!!!

[onyx python]

delete all consoles

[amber wedge]

mnk is where it is at

[nova needle]

Ok ig

[amber wedge]

on specfically @safe venture's soul NOBODY plays sk with a controller

[slender juniper]

What are you doing bro

[onyx python]

use focus ability with the silk charm and gain 5 billion kg of silk

[wind gate]

If Grimm was a skong boss he'd be easy asf ngl

[amber wedge]

too hard for me because i abuse shade cloak for one of his moves

[nova needle]

I okay with controller

[wind gate]

But you got like a million other moves

Grimm vs clawline

[amber wedge]

true i could RNG farm

or clawline actually good point

when are they adding vertical claw line

[slender juniper]

I do

[wind gate]

silk soar

[amber wedge]

DIAGONAL

dont say pogo

[wind gate]

pogo

[onyx python]

ricochet

[nova needle]

Where do i go

I cant fail this sbit bro

[slender juniper]

Left

[amber wedge]

video

[nova needle]

Do i continue left?

[amber wedge]

it leads U to the end of the skip im pretty sure

i would just follow the video icl

[slender juniper]

Lmao bro died just so he could pogo the caccon

[amber wedge]

thats creative

[nova needle]

I trully trully trully trully trully hate my life

[nova needle]

Wuxifmcm2mrkcjM*%€%#**'ucugm3mznxnc t rnxjfjfjfjfjrhrh4h44hrhrthrnthtnhJ&-&$&&=,=,=,÷÷*JDJDDJRI3IIW9XC8IDIFJCJFJ4BDBDBHIR488R8D8 IVJFMMAILANRBTBJDIFIJ4

[slender juniper]

You went right

[rose flax]

reaching my daily quota of glazing the weavers

[slender juniper]

Left is that way <-- right is that way-->

[rose flax]

bro got possessed by the radiance irl

[nova needle]

IM SO FUCKINY DONE WOTH THIS BULLAHIT GIVE ME MY FUCKI G WALL CLIMB ABILITY SO I CAN FUCKING PLAG THEGA GXJ3JG8CKDEIF7C

[amber wedge]

😭

[rose flax]

bro might be feeling more hate than groal at this moment

[amber wedge]

I get the frustration

[nova needle]

5HIS IS TORTURE

[slender juniper]

It's not

[nova needle]

I FUCKING HATE EVERYTHING

[slender juniper]

Then why did you go right 😭

[nova needle]

Idk man

[rose flax]

“IF I HAD THE POWER TO BEND TIME”

[nova needle]

i saw an exit and assumed i was above that nightmare wich i hate and thought youd get wall climb there

[amber wedge]

make sure when you get to that part again you hold both of your hands up in a L shape so U know which one is left or right

OR alternatively you follow my advice and just follow the video guide

[brave geyser]

Messed up my hit & dodge timings during the circle attack. Otherwise it's fine. No real advantage to using it here though

[rose flax]

premium ragebait?

[amber wedge]

i have actually done this in game before im not ashamed to admit it.

[solid grail]

In the straight room up to the wallclimb go up to the right exit . Stand on the lowest branch then challenge the flower so it goes under and into the part. Pogo the flower to get above. That would put you right outside SS exit. Then proceed to get wallclimb.

[brave geyser]

Also i noticed that reaper locks you from sprinting when you are attacking for like half a second so that's fun

[open bane]

Dying to First sinner doesnt end a steelsoul run, right? ive heard people say that it doesnt, but im not sure

[brave geyser]

It doesn't

[nova needle]

I went right because sometimes i mix them up idk why probably cuz im autistic

[solid grail]

It doesn't, you just get dropped outside

[amber wedge]

really??

[brave geyser]

Yep

[open bane]

okay, thanks

[solid grail]

Fave boss

[amber wedge]

Wow

[brave geyser]

just like shakra and the 3 heart bosses

[open bane]

i dont wanna lose my 20 hours steelsoul safe

[brave geyser]

Gaymond and marijuana can't kill you but you do lose it if you fall into the spikes iirc

[amber wedge]

good luck solider

[slender juniper]

No because hornet hallucinates all of it

[amber wedge]

i learned during my steel soul save that U can fight brood mother in act 2

i thought it was act 3 only

[open bane]

the stench of the flys in the slab cause hallucinations, makes sense

[wind gate]

I fought her in act 2

[amber wedge]

I somehow never got the quest until act 3 on my first playthru

[brave geyser]

Give me another boss

[slender juniper]

That's the quest I tell everyone to skip

[open bane]

Broodmother fkn sucks

[slender juniper]

People say "do all quests to get to act3" instead of giving them a checklist

[amber wedge]

awful boss

[open bane]

imo worse than the savage bitchfly

[slender juniper]

So they assume broodmother is one of them

[nova needle]

Is this the right way

[amber wedge]

yes

[brave geyser]

Well why don't you ask that stoned gal right there

[surreal halo]

Brood mother is mandatory ^_^

[slender juniper]

It is not

[surreal halo]

It's a amazing boss ^_^

[nova needle]

After like a few weeks and nesrly quitting yhe game i did it

[brave geyser]

She isn't

[surreal halo]

It's only mandatory bc of how good the fight is ^_^

[nova needle]

I FUCKING DID IT

[brave geyser]

You might quit it for this next boss which is mandatory

[nova needle]

THANKS EVRYONE WHO HELPED ME

[surreal halo]

True... but it's still decent ^_^

[nova needle]

Nag

I like difficulty

[surreal halo]

You probably won't ^_^

[brave geyser]

I can see that

[surreal halo]

Good luck ^_^

[brave geyser]

Well she is more of a skill check i'd say

[nova needle]

Bro i do i like hunters march cuz its hard

[slender juniper]

Go explore all of the map again now that you have the cling grip,you missed a lot of tools

[granite plaza]

isn't Brood mother just harder version of gruz mother?

[brave geyser]

So maybe

[brave geyser]

Do you like sister splinter

[nova needle]

Where the hell are they

[open bane]

OH MY GOD, FIRST SINNER DOES THE FAKEOUT TOO, THIS BITCH

[slender juniper]

Got it so you just were racist against sister splinter

[open bane]

[brave geyser]

We all hate bitchass woodpuncture anyway

[granite plaza]

I always skip this motherfrascer

[amber wedge]

maybe epicZACK236 just hates his sister

[nova needle]

Idk i waw overwhelmed with the amoubt of bosses

[slender juniper]

1)hunter march 2)deep docks vendor 3)greymoor

[brave geyser]

Y'all gimme another boss to do with reaper

[amber wedge]

First Sinner

[nova needle]

Ok

[slender juniper]

Lost lace

[brave geyser]

except sinner

Ok

[slender juniper]

First sinner

[amber wedge]

im hearing quitter

[brave geyser]

Funny enough i never did lost lace hitless despite having done court of craws and coral tower

[brave geyser]

100% all day every day

my pfp will be different by the time you see me fight her

[nova needle]

Tbh i fibd sk quit easy

[amber wedge]

oh really

[brave geyser]

just so you know i have had this bitch for like 3 years

[nova needle]

I expected the game to be hunters march level of difficulty from the start

[amber wedge]

#Soon

@brave geyser wait actually i have a boss for you

[brave geyser]

?

[open bane]

alr first sinner down

[amber wedge]

so theres this secret boss in the slab that when U beat it, you get the silk skill "Rune Rage"

i dont remember what its called tho

[brave geyser]

I KNEW IT

[open bane]

ugh, i will have to Fight Broodmother for 100% huh

[slender juniper]

Something with FS

[amber wedge]

Ohhh

maybe Fourth Saurus?

[slender juniper]

Fabulous shitter

[still osprey]

Broodmother is not required for 100%

[dire jacinth]

why do people on reddit hate the shaman crest bind so much
it aint that bad

[open bane]

wait really?

[still osprey]

Yea

[slender juniper]

Skill isues

[amber wedge]

dont U get a tool

[still osprey]

She only gives a rosary necklace

[amber wedge]

or is that a different boss

[open bane]

i thought you need ALL quests for 100%

[dire jacinth]

ive seen people acting like nyleth is hard with shaman crest

[amber wedge]

nah

[dire jacinth]

(No)

[slender juniper]

The crest that rewards using silk for offense punishes you for using it for defense wow no shit Sherlock

[open bane]

ohhhhh

[amber wedge]

Most of ur percents in SK are like tools and upgrades

[dire jacinth]

its easy to heal in 90% of fights and most the rest are easy anyway (nyleth)

[still osprey]

Over 50% of completion is just tools

[amber wedge]

yeah

[slender juniper]

I think shaman should still be able to wall heal tho

Just so you don't completely prevent players from healing in nyleth

[dire jacinth]

that would be cool yeah
ascendants grip special interaction trust

[slender juniper]

Maybe it would make the heal -10% faster on walls

[dire jacinth]

honestly shes one of the fights similar to father of the flame where you don’t really heal but you really dont need to anyway

[slender juniper]

With the grip

[dire jacinth]

healing on walls is normally slower, but ascendants grip turns it back to normal speed maybe

[quiet minnow]

What is the hardest possible challenge in Silksong?

[quiet minnow]

Not including achievements

[round creek]

Why does shawman crest even have a limited bind

[brave geyser]

Ok i died but i have to go anyway

reaper good for LL There's a chance

you don't get to hit her alot anyway so

[open bane]

isnt shaman the one you cant heal in the air with?

[brave geyser]

Steel soul minimum upgrades minimum tools barbed bracelet on at all times all bosses

[slender juniper]

Yes

[dire jacinth]

Because it would be really really strong otherwise

[quiet minnow]

Nevermind I'm not doing that

[visual musk]

||lost garmond|| without feeling emotionally shattered afterward

[slender juniper]

It rewards you for using silk for offense and punishes you for using it for defense,unlike architects,this is balanced

[dire jacinth]

Nyleth with shaman crest is fun

[brave geyser]

There's steel heart with barbed bracelet which i found very fun

[open bane]

Impossible

[brave geyser]

except for like that one mask shard in bilewater

[visual musk]

yeah its the hardest challenge thats why i said it

[exotic cedar]

[open bane]

the slubberlugs or whatever they are called

[brave geyser]

Omega fuck those guys

[open bane]

that whole species needs to go extinct.

[brave geyser]

I should definitely do it.

[exotic cedar]

You should not

[brave geyser]

Except the all bosses part

[slender juniper]

I love shaman

[brave geyser]

You are NOT catching my ass in act 3 hunter march ever again

[restive mango]

we all do

[exotic cedar]

Why would you do that to your sanity 😨

[quiet minnow]

I'm working on sub 30hrs Steel heart and I am NOT touching that thing

[restive mango]

top 3 crest

[brave geyser]

Because i need to get my social credit back up after this bs fail

[dire jacinth]

I need to do steel heart but idk if I’m good enough yet

[wind gate]

I hope team cherry's next game has dialogue like this
https://youtu.be/RJ__1lmPJWY

[exotic cedar]

YOU are insane

[brave geyser]

Which isn't actually bs and i was the one being an idiot

[brave geyser]

Don't you just love trying speedrunner movement for the first time on your steel soul

[visual musk]

sorry are you playing silksong on fucking phone

dont even come near me

[exotic cedar]

I remember it was 3am and i was not home so i watched all episodes of this show all at once while being sleepy as fuck

[dire jacinth]

it trivialises nyleth and coral tower which were both hard for me on my first run

[brave geyser]

Hates me and wants me to die

[restive mango]

Honestly not that bad

if you use architect

[visual musk]

god i know who this is but i forgot its name

[brave geyser]

My phone would probably crash

[wind gate]

Xavier Renegade Angel

[visual musk]

yeahhh that thing

[broken seal]

gng...

[dire jacinth]

I died to a mawling in weavenest atla once

[brave geyser]

It would've been done last week if i didn't get cocky onb

[brave geyser]

I died to a giant bell dude

I died to a skull crawlie

I died to fuckin' pp in whiteward man

[dire jacinth]

On my first run of the game

3 hours were spent fighting the unravelled

[brave geyser]

Lemme flex my losses man

[broken seal]

i died to one of those fly things in mosshome (joycon disconnected and i froze 💔)

and i also died a GRAND REED OF ALL THINGS

[brave geyser]

Fuck that guy anyway

[brave geyser]

same

[open bane]

ugh

[heady iron]

what doth silk

[open bane]

time to get that mask shard in skull cavern or whatever its called

[broken seal]

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

[open bane]

huh

that was easier than i remembered

[onyx python]

how do you dod that

[broken seal]

Witch Crest + Clawline + Sawtooth Circlet

[slender juniper]

Why...

[quiet minnow]

Worst mod oat

[short trout]

Trying to get a <1min nohit. Any tips to deal more damage before they get to do their slashing attack? That eats up at least 5 seconds cause I can't hit them.

[civic junco]

why do maestros cogflies hurt u on the way backwards its so dumb

u can dodge as much as u want but someitmes they just heat seek u on their way back

[short trout]

Yea he is just a dumb enemy overall imo

[quiet minnow]

Is thread storm good again?

[slender juniper]

Sawtooth circlet

[slender juniper]

It always was good

[quiet minnow]

Wasn't it nerfed?

[short trout]

Not really a fan of it

[slender juniper]

Yes ,for balance

It way way too good

[short trout]

Yea it's still great

[idle sparrow]

Gives higher dps

[short trout]

The go-to spell for crowd control and overall damage

[short trout]

I'm not arguing that I just don't like using it

[idle sparrow]

Ah

How about

Flintsslate beast bind?

And flea brew

[short trout]

That'd probably be pretty fast

[toxic vigil]

You can do a scream skip

[slender juniper]

Parry instead of nails

[short trout]

Nohit

[toxic vigil]

Oh k

[slender juniper]

U used nails once

And that was for scream skip

Cross stitch would give you more damage

[short trout]

Parry wouldn't be good cause if they go above they dodge it completely

[toxic vigil]

I mean circlet is kinda.
THE thing for quick kills

[short trout]

How much damage does it deal

With shaman + volt fillament

[idle sparrow]

BEAST BEAST BEAST BEAST

[toxic vigil]

X3 nail ( same as nails )

[idle sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-beast-crest-bocchi-kita-gif-14742515943086903638

[toxic vigil]

Hunter evo 2 better

[still osprey]

Silk Spear is also faster than pale nails if you know how to use it

[slender juniper]

Also in the second and third phase use sharpdart instead of nails

For more damage

[idle sparrow]

Wait how about witch bind build

[toxic vigil]

109 i think

[short trout]

Nails are pretty cheesy cause I managed to damage them at the beggining + it allows me to stack skills

[short trout]

Makes sense

[idle sparrow]

WITCH WITCH WITCH WITCH WITCH

[still osprey]

• Turnaround to make it come out faster
• Stand near a wall to make it retract faster

[short trout]

Wdym witch

[idle sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/agenda-witch-crest-average-witch-crest-user-silksong-silkpost-gif-487930681628415259

[peak nymph]

i still think savage beastfly is harder than radiance and the final boss of silksong

[slender juniper]

False

[toxic vigil]

Just use circlet hunter evo 2

[toxic vigil]

Just lowk throw a rock on it

[idle sparrow]

Witch with circlet is pretty good imo

[short trout]

I think witch has too high of a skill cap for me

[toxic vigil]

......
Ignore this guy

[short trout]

Nah he is probably right

[toxic vigil]

Like why witch circlet
If ur doing circlet just hunter or wanderer circlet

[idle sparrow]

doesn't witch have like a two hit pogo or smthy

I forgort

[toxic vigil]

2 hits of half

[idle sparrow]

Ohhh

[slender juniper]

For 0,5 damage both

Actually nwm they both round up

[idle sparrow]

You can also use wanderer with flinslate and circlet

[toxic vigil]

Or hunter evo 2 with max focus

[slender juniper]

Why would you ever use wanderer instead of hunter in hitless

[normal bramble]

Style, duh

[idle sparrow]

Crit idk

[normal bramble]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/586931790208434203/1481335365414424597/caption.3e6bea82.gif

[toxic vigil]

All at just to be worse than hunter

[short trout]

I mean I'm primarily using Shaman cause I find it the mot fun

[slender juniper]

Crit the same fuckass gambling of rune rage

[normal bramble]

I main hunter however witch is just infinitely flashier

[idle sparrow]

But with crit you can still keep on using the normal needle strike low risk high reward

[slender juniper]

Rune rage would actually be a good spell if they increased the damage by 10% and improved tracking

[toxic vigil]

The dmg can be high already

[slender juniper]

Rn the damage is too low to risk gambling

[toxic vigil]

But it misses

[short trout]

And it for some reason has the longest cast time

By far

[cerulean sable]

rune rage buff by giving you a small circle on your current location

but that would just be threadstorm

[toxic vigil]

Just make it not miss

[digital sandal]

my biggest problem with rune rage has nothing to do with the targetting... it's the fact that if you get hit during the bind you lose ALL silk just like a normal heal bind

[toxic vigil]

They removed that

[digital sandal]

oh

amazing

i have no problems with it then, i used it a decent amount in my 100% playthrough

alsoways thought it was dumb that i lose all silk but if i hit first sinner in her bind she was still able to immediately cast rune rage lol

[lucid trellis]

need some tips for tormented trobbio

[toxic vigil]

You can cancel her heal bind but not rune rage bind

[digital sandal]

yeah, point is she doesnt lose any silk when her bind was cancelled lol... that's still one of my favorite fights ofc, i just thought it was weird

[toxic vigil]

Needle strike destroys the exploding balls withoit them exploding

[short trout]

Tried using the sawtooth circlet but I am a moron and ended up mistiming my last pale nail. Still above 1min I think.

[normal bramble]

I like to think she does lose silk but is so goated that she just has 10 silk hearts and like weave light on steroids equipped

[short trout]

And this isn't really spectacular circlet gameplay I haven't used it much ever

[toxic vigil]

What mod are you using for this btw

[lucid trellis]

what if i hide in the corner with plasmium and shoot him?

[short trout]

Pantheon of Pharloom and ShowDamageHealthBar

[digital sandal]

i can get behind this, instant silk recovery... plus being a full blooded weaver probably has some benefit as well

[restive mango]

First sinner is way more weaver than hornet is

[toxic vigil]

Alright

[toxic vigil]

are red tools allowed

[open bane]

When you collected all silk spools, you have enough silk to bind exactly twice, right?

[queen acorn]

yes

[toxic vigil]

yeah

spool extender gives + 3 slots of silk ( so like 3 full or 6 fragments )

[open bane]

great, so i am missing one silk spool fragment where i dont know where

[queen acorn]

did you get the moss grotto one

[open bane]

i think so

you can get all silk spools in act 2, right?

[queen acorn]

yes you can

i think?

rocket come back fact check

[toxic vigil]

yeah

[open bane]

i might be missing the one in the memorium

[queen acorn]

wheres your flea caravan

[open bane]

fleatopia

[slender juniper]

Fah

[short trout]

I'm using Shaman so

No I guess

LET'S GO <1MIN NOHIT!

[queen acorn]

then no idea

[slender juniper]

Why do you need spool extender if you're below 18 silk all the time anyways

[queen acorn]

cross stitch dude cross stitch

[short trout]

I am not using spool extender wdym

[open bane]

i need the one in Cogwork core, that i know because i have the room its in Not filled in yet, but i dont know where im missing the last one
well, imma just look at the complete map and check all locations

[queen acorn]

this one pissed me off

[toxic vigil]

oh.
kinda unfair to all other crests but i guess can i atleast use flintslate

[slender juniper]

What is that

Does it always glow like that

[toxic vigil]

egg of flealia

[slender juniper]

Oh

[short trout]

Yea it's the egg of flealia

[short trout]

Nah this is just my own little challenge do whatever you want haha

Sawtooth circlet is a lot more fun than I thought it'd be gotta be honest

Might start running it instead of weavelight

Just maybe idk. Weavelight is still nice to have

[toxic vigil]

weavelight is a bit weird in fights

[devout oracle]

random voided moss mother at the bottom of moss grotto just chillin

[oblique parrot]

Takes too long to be of use if your playstyle is aggressive.

Because you'll be reaping silk by hitting constantly anyway.

Sawtooth Circlet is crazy.

[toxic vigil]

shaman is one of the worse circlet crests and its still amazing

[oblique parrot]

Makes half of the bosses take less than a minute.

[short trout]

Well it really depends on the boss for me

[oblique parrot]

Just finished the Pantheon Of Pharloom mod and Circlet pretty much carried.

Raging Conchfly is probably the biggest visible improvement for me. A kind of slow fight going down in 30 seconds is so fun to see.

[toxic vigil]

snare setter is my 2nd favorite tool

[oblique parrot]

Yeah, it's good for those that don't let you get a lot of hits in.

[normal bramble]

My favorite way to do raging conch is just throw on beast and recklessly charge forwards

It Just works

[short trout]

Lmao bro just got exaporated

[toxic vigil]

could definitely be optimized with just better snare setter timings

[oblique parrot]

Also, is Circlet slower with Witch crest or am I just doing it wrong? Feel like spamming attack and jump doesn't activate Circlet as easily as it does with Hunter Crest.

[toxic vigil]

witch crest has a slower attack speed, thats why

[short trout]

Eh, on second thought I'd rather not run it. Using egg of flealia + shaman crest makes it really counter intuitive for me to use a tool that specializes in up close combat.

[toxic vigil]

however you can do spogos with witch crest
and reaper
( also apparently beast but i haven't seen it )

[oblique parrot]

What's a spogo?

Sawtooth pogo?

[open bane]

after you free || the green prince, you cant lock yourself out of getting the conjoined heart, right? ||

[oblique parrot]

Yep.

[toxic vigil]

yeah

[toxic vigil]

yoiu can never lock yourself out of it

[short trout]

Weavelight + egg of flealia is actually a pretty nice combo when I burn through all of my silk skills

[toxic vigil]

i mean
i guess it does give a very fast first silk so basically means only 2 hits for a silk skill

[open bane]

alright

i think the spool fragment im missing is in east greymoore

[lucid trellis]

beat tormented by hiding jn the cor er

[short trout]

Have you heard of the silksong tracker by chance?

[open bane]

nope

got the fragment now, was east greymoore

[short trout]

It's a website in which you put your silksong save file and it reads it completely giving you info on absolutely everything you need to find and where

[open bane]

im on switch, sooooo

[short trout]

Oh

[open bane]

[orchid spruce]

why buy switch

[delicate temple]

In a cuteness competition who wins, Sherma or Bell Beast?

[toxic vigil]

sherma

[orchid spruce]

Neither are cute

[delicate temple]

I agree

[delicate temple]

Can we kill this guy?

[orchid spruce]

[exotic cedar]

Me

[normal bramble]

False

[exotic cedar]

:3

[delicate temple]

I asked for realistic answers

[orchid spruce]

omg so cute

[exotic cedar]

Stardew valle

[orchid spruce]

duduvalley

[minor sparrow]

I am inclined to say bell beast cause the concept of something being so thick armored that hitting it is petting it is pretty cute

[orchid spruce]

one of my favourite games

[minor sparrow]

Also I like its song

[delicate temple]

That’s literally just my bulldog in a nutshell

[minor sparrow]

...are you hitting your bulldog

[stable mica]

u pet ur bulldog with a needle? interesting

[orchid spruce]

this thing looks like human face muscles

i cant unsee its horror

[delicate temple]

Other way around, also I pat the side of him pretty roughly but he likes it because if he didn’t my hand wouldn’t exist

[orchid spruce]

[stable mica]

wait what.....

u r making me unsee it

hopefull i will recover from this trauma

[delicate temple]

Looks like a mask I cannot say because it’s against tos

[exotic cedar]

I remember my stardew phase

I played it a lot

same, i have over 900 hours on it as of now

i got bored of it when i started my metroidvania arc

will play again when 1.7 comes out

[civic junco]

i love how lace 2s 3rd phase is easier tahn the 2nd one

cuz the new attack poses 0 threat and is a massive silkspear here window

[exotic cedar]

I bought it on like Microsoft store but then i moved to steam

I love love designing farms

[opal pelican]

[orchid spruce]

[spare isle]

Groal the Great

[potent vessel]

why am i C tier brah

[craggy turret]

Remember those three silk spear destroyed walls that only showed up in two rooms in the beginning and never again? Great mechanic

[vivid belfry]

You do not want those things to show up after other skills become available

[still osprey]

Me trying to break the silk spear wall with cross stitch

[fallen spoke]

they can always be programmed to break from any silkskill..well idk about cross stitch

[latent terrace]

Guys

[craggy turret]

Special interaction where if you have cross stitch on the walls violently try to whip hornet

[still owl]

if SS wasn’t so linear it’d be fine but, well SS is pretty linear compared to HK

[vivid belfry]

Regardless, they exist to gate progress behind finding silk spear, so putting them in areas where you're forced to have silk spear already wouldn't accomplish anything

[opaque sigil]

(Or architect)

[latent terrace]

I can't stop listening to the Widow and Karmellita's theme

Specifically widow

[still osprey]

Silksong is not linear lol

[still owl]

compared to HK? I disagree

[minor sparrow]

It triggers the animation for gms' 3 mask attack

[latent terrace]

It's such an earworm of a boss theme

[fallen spoke]

but they're cool

[orchid spruce]

Less linear than a line

[minor plank]

Sea of sorrow today

[still osprey]

HK's early game is more linear than Silksong's

[craggy turret]

Act 3 specifically is very linear

Your only options are the order you do it in

[fallen spoke]

act 1 is kinda linear, not the others tho

[latent terrace]

Which theme in the game are your guys favorite?

[vivid belfry]

Being able to accomplish objectives without a set order is what nonlinear means

[fallen spoke]

both have linear early games

[craggy turret]

Or if you wanna commit a hate crime and kill a poor gay bug

[fallen spoke]

but there are options, so its not linear

[orchid spruce]

I may convulge violently and talk about how ass Act 3 is again, stop me

[fallen spoke]

but hk's early game is prolly a little more linear

[latent terrace]

Let's talk about which theme OST in the game is our favorite

[orchid spruce]

Lost Lace, ez

[still osprey]

Crossroads -> Greenpath -> Fungal Wastes

Marrow -> Deep Docks OR Hunter's March -> Swift Step -> Lace OR Wormways -> Far Fields OR Shellwood OR take the Flea Caravan to Greymoor -> Bellhart

[digital sandal]

i legitimately choked on my water reading this

[craggy turret]

I hated the black threaded hunters March gauntlet

That was just mean

[latent terrace]

Mine is the widow genuinely

[fallen spoke]

trueee

[undone gate]

I took 3 hours against her

[orchid spruce]

Widow's good but Lost Lace eats

[still osprey]

I don't get people saying silksong is linear cuz it literally is not

[fallen spoke]

GUYS BILEWATER

[vivid belfry]

Silksong is linear in the order that it gives you movement upgrades but there is a fuckton of content outside that progression that's basically freely available at any point

[fallen spoke]

i agree its not

if anything, hk is more linear

[undone gate]

There is like 25 tools in Act 1

[latent terrace]

What about Karmellita?

[orchid spruce]

go listen to lost lace then come back here, fool

[still osprey]

Even the whole marking objectives on the map complain like are we forgetting HK does the exact same thing with Dreamers?

[fallen spoke]

bilewater better

[orchid spruce]

karmelita is good

[opaque sigil]

the best track is whatever the abyss climb one is

[undone gate]

I like Seth's ost more than Karmalita

[fallen spoke]

same, nyleth makes me cry

[formal scroll]

Hello sk discussion i love seth

[lavish apex]

hunter's march completely dead ends at that point there is virtually nothing you can do there without cloak

[latent terrace]

What about area OST?

[orchid spruce]

seth's theme doesn't fit at all. it's not for the character, it's for the person. also the transition to his theme is so abrupt.

[undone gate]

Choral Chambers, Cogwork Core, Bilewater are all ready good

[still owl]

https://youtu.be/7ITtPPE-pXE?t=1162&si=DTbvuVfM3HAbOgaM watch the entire bosskeys video for why I disagree weeew

[fringe jungle]

did they patch out pogoing off of tools

can't remember if they did or not

[undone gate]

The Choir is an amazing ost

[vivid belfry]

Mostly yeah

[latent terrace]

Silksong have so many great OST imo

[craggy turret]

Idk why but I got the feeling of whoever patched out the other Seth pushing hornet through a wall instance was frustrated with how many walls this man could shove hornet into

[latent terrace]

They aren't losing to the original

[still osprey]

It works as an alternate way into Swift Step, that's not really a dead end. In fact I'd argue it just makes the game less linear as now you have a reason to go back after you get cloak

[lavish apex]

how?

[orchid spruce]

why does silkslop have so many good osts, give christopher lirkin to better games

[lavish apex]

how does it work as an alternate way into swift step

[still osprey]

You can go down the long vertical room and it leads into the ant arena before swift step

[vivid belfry]

You can get swift step by going through hunter's march instead of deep docks

The benefit to this is more early game cash

[latent terrace]

Christopher Larkin then get moved into Nine Slop

[still osprey]

It's also just, more fun imo

[fallen spoke]

someone doesnt watch speedruns

[lavish apex]

killing the skarrgard without dash sucks

[orchid spruce]

peak meets peak

[still osprey]

You can even reach all the way up to the trap bench without cloak by doing some platforming

[vivid belfry]

Wait hunter's march is faster?

[latent terrace]

Or Blasphemous 3

[fallen spoke]

it does, but you can do it

[minor sparrow]

This applies in both games, oddly enough, except that one isn't a hate crime

[undone gate]

It's still very much possible you can kinda just get lucky and win by pogoing against it

[still osprey]

In a few categories yes, because of the extra money there

[orchid spruce]

blas3 will never happen, thought that's confirmed

[lavish apex]

yeah and it sucks

[vivid belfry]

Ah fair

[orchid spruce]

if it happens, it will be a very bad move

[fallen spoke]

no, but for longer categories it is

[still osprey]

True Ending for example

[fallen spoke]

and all bosses, and hundo

[lavish apex]

that sounds like such an ass route i didn't know it was even possible

[still osprey]

Shakra helps you with the arena too

[craggy turret]

The gay lover in hk kills herself after you deliver a flower of course The Knight doesn't commit a hate crime

[undone gate]

Yea otherwise the arena would be insane

[still osprey]

She appears in the Hunter's March arena and fights alongside you if you go there before you enter Greymoor

I genuinely love early Hunter's March it's so fun

[lavish apex]

how much can you even do on key route on current patch

[minor sparrow]

I was talking about nailsmith

[craggy turret]

Ohh

[lavish apex]

hunter's march is pretty mid

[vivid belfry]

I did early hunter's march on my first playthrough because I never back down

[still osprey]

You can reach up to The Cauldron

[minor sparrow]

Actually it could probably be a hate crime if you VS'd him

[vivid belfry]

It was the crucible that forged my pogo ability

[undone gate]

I did it all the way till the arena then I just decided to go Deep Docks

[lavish apex]

stalkers are fun and some of the platforming is ok i like very little else about it

it needs to be bigger and have more rewards

[minor sparrow]

The big man in the way made me think I wasn't supposed to be there lol

[opaque sigil]

I'm not gonna say it I'm not gonna say it

[minor sparrow]

Same thing with the one at the top of match

[vivid belfry]

I don't know what you're alluding to

[orchid spruce]

the miorot is all-consuming

[lavish apex]

mio reference

[opaque sigil]

good because I'm not gonna say it

[undone gate]

I just see Hunters March as a short and hard early game area

[orchid spruce]

silksong just has so much potential that's wasted for no reason

silk of potentials

[opaque sigil]

does it

[orchid spruce]

it has potentials

[opaque sigil]

I found the map unremarkable but the things ss does well are unrelated to the map so wouldn't really call it wasted potential

[undone gate]

That's why it's getting DLCs

[open bane]

we gonna get dlcs, you know that, right?

[orchid spruce]

well, it wastes its potentials on where it could've done well

[lavish apex]

trying to go there early on my first run and getting met with 2 dead ends only to backtrack later and get nothing but a crest i hate, a memory locket, and some rosaries was probably the height of my disappointment with the exploration

[opaque sigil]

it would've been cool if more of the ability checks were like the clawline ones sure

[orchid spruce]

yeah, if the DLCs fix the bad things then sure

[undone gate]

What do you consider as the bad things

[open bane]

for example

[orchid spruce]

i want to love silksong too

[minor sparrow]

Idk even if you didn't like it, a crest is a pretty sizeable reward for a relatively small area

[lavish apex]

i think the game should have 4 more mask shards

[orchid spruce]

[lavish apex]

like highkey

[undone gate]

It already has 20

[lavish apex]

put one in hunter's march, one in sinner's road, have fleas give you the other two

[orchid spruce]

act 3 is the most obvious and the heaviest strike against silkslop

[still osprey]

Are we just. Forgetting about the 300+ rosaries at the top of Hunter's March

[lavish apex]

boom the rewards structure feels better

yeah i mentioned those

[open bane]

huh?

[minor sparrow]

And then also you get curve claw which is really good

[still osprey]

Like that's insane for earlygame

[lavish apex]

you need claw for that

[undone gate]

Act 3 was fine the bosses in Act 3 are great

[lavish apex]

so not by a lot

[light swan]

i don’t want more mask shards give me more fun tools

[lavish apex]

i'm aware

i said what i said

that too yeah

[orchid spruce]

I don't want to convulge about Act 3 again

[still osprey]

I'm excited to see what tools Sea of Sorrow will have cuz it's been implied it will have new tools

[undone gate]

There are like 6 mask shards in Act 1 and 25 tools in Act 1 it's crazy

[orchid spruce]

Just take my words for it It's ass

[light swan]

i mean i woudlnt mind but it feels a bit boring finding just mask shards

[still osprey]

I love Act 3

[light swan]

the thrill isnt very thrilling at some point

[undone gate]

I found it pretty fun

[minor sparrow]

Wdym you don't want 5 utilities tools with the same usefulness of spider strings?

[lavish apex]

both could happen

both would be good

[light swan]

should’ve just expanded every area in act 3 man

[still osprey]

I just think more silksong in general would be awesome I love this game so much

[open bane]

thats the fun thing about opinions, they are opinions, Not facts

[minor sparrow]

A3 should just make all of the platforming harder, trust

[leaden delta]

act 3 should’ve just been goooood man

[light swan]

i want this

[open bane]

HELL NO

[light swan]

force you to go through bilewater with sawtooth circlet

[orchid spruce]

omg, act 3 slander AND slay the princess fan. we're made for each other

[leaden delta]

give tc like a day more in da time chamber for that one

[minor sparrow]

Make everybody hate traversing a3 and then make gms scream 2x more often

[leaden delta]

it’s not slander if it’s true!

[orchid spruce]

TRUE

[vivid belfry]

Act 3 is good

It's not the highpoint of the game but it's a big swing that paid off for me

[minor sparrow]

It's an opinion but ye ig

[opaque sigil]

act 3 is fine getting there sucks

[lavish apex]

i would like more relics as well, dlc will probably do this but i mean specifically dispersed through the rest of the game

[minor sparrow]

Condition for S&S should be listed someway

[light swan]

for some reason my brain replaced a bit of this map with mio’s map am i fucking mio rotted

[still osprey]

Maybe it's cuz I'm a completionist but I don't mind how you access Act 3 at all

[open bane]

im so excitedddd to play that

[undone gate]

Act 3 has the best bosses so that just makes Act 3 really good for me

[lavish apex]

as boss rewards for those that don't have any. also like rosaries from some of those would be great even if it was a little bit and i think there's 0 reason for none of them dropping shell shards

[vivid belfry]

Yeah, through this lens it's fine, but it causes some friction when there's no indication that doing side content is progressing main content

[lavish apex]

maybe have the fleas give you like 2

[wind mulch]

collect my bells

[lavish apex]

or some shard bundles

[light swan]

legit thought this was the lead up to snowman boss

[onyx python]

SNOWMAN BOSS !!!!!

[orchid spruce]

you're so done

[lavish apex]

just more rewards
as i play and reflect on other metroidvanias that specific part of silksong annoys me more and more

[vivid belfry]

Caretaker does show interest in Hornet fulfilling wishes but imo it's too subtle

[light swan]

a drop down into a small room that leads rught, with a small outlet on the left of the dropdown you can sneak your way into

cant blame me

[lavish apex]

like i don't think it's just hk1 that does them better it's mio, blasphemous 2, afterimage as well

[light swan]

btw tje boss isnt actially a snowman it’s just a code name

[orchid spruce]

just play more metroidvanias to realize how silkslop is not as good as you thought

[formal scroll]

Hello what are we talking about today

[light swan]

i’ve always never been too happy with silksongs exploration so you’re not alone

[still osprey]

Yea I definitely think it's something that could've been executed better but like, I don't mind the doing wishes or finding fleas or whatever cuz like if you want to actually play as much of the game as possible, which I assume most people that bought the game do, you'll probably be doing that anyway

[vivid belfry]

I've played many more metroidvanias than you and only solidified my opinions about silksong being peam

[light swan]

more bad metroidvanias :D

[lavish apex]

i mean it's not specifically the exploration even it's how like 80% of bosses and fleas and gauntlets feel like they give you literally nothing because that is statisticlaly the case

[orchid spruce]

play less slop

[formal scroll]

Silksong took like 7 years to make and like uhhhh its very very cool yk they took 7 years putting content in the game yeaj

[orchid spruce]

[lavish apex]

why are act 3 void gauntlets just there to get in your way why are there literally 0 rewards from them

[vivid belfry]

Silksong's rewards are mostly in the form of sidegrades and expanding options rather than objective power increases, and I get why some people take issue with that but I love collecting shit

[formal scroll]

Idk act 3 feels kinda rushed honestly

[odd hull]

Idk. Protagonist is good intended, seems only natural that the true ending will be achieved by helping everyone.

[lavish apex]

it's 90% of the way through the game make them shit out rosaries and shards

[vivid belfry]

Example?

[lavish apex]

i also dislike this but i take more of an issue with how much content gives you basically nothing at all
