[normal bramble]

Liquid lacier doesn’t give a momento

[quartz roost]

You're welcome :D

[violet canopy]

What do u mean a 1 time job?

[normal bramble]

Basically you do it once and it doesn’t show up again

[exotic dome]

sorry was it just a bellhome entry

[normal bramble]

The other deliveries are infinitely doable

[strong sand]

I think out of the delivery quests songclave is the best money maker but they're all pretty meh for rosaries,you're better off farming the reed hallway

[violet canopy]

Really only for rosaries? No mask shards or spool? Haven’t found those in a while

[exotic dome]

they are there for rosary farming

[normal bramble]

Nope nada like that just rosaries

[quartz roost]

Yeah, none of them give anything of the sort

[exotic dome]

killing grand reeds are faster but whatever

[violet canopy]

Alright thanks guys

For saving my time

[strong sand]

Yeah reed hallway with greed charm is busted lol

[normal bramble]

I wish there were more unique deliveries

[violet canopy]

Btw should I hold on to the arcane egg or give it for rosaries

[normal bramble]

Rashier, Liquid lacier and queen eggs are fun but I don’t care for the repeatable ones

[normal bramble]

Give it

[exotic dome]

it's meant to be sold

[normal bramble]

Does nothing outside of the collection

[strong sand]

Rasher is honestly pretty easy if you just clear the enemies beforehand

[normal bramble]

Rasher is honestly really fun imo

[empty solstice]

yes but that's so very boring!!

[exotic dome]

yeah we need more of this and mementos. they seem incomplete

[normal bramble]

It gives you a timer and it’s a test of your mobility

[empty solstice]

I love the stress of one of the silk stealer things popping out of nowhere right infront of me

[normal bramble]

You can also use it to try getting anywhere under it’s time limit

[strong sand]

I do wish it was repeatable for the fun factor but I just want my needle upgrade damnit! Lol

[tulip spire]

I’ve done them all except the one to fleatopia because lol lmao

[exotic dome]

there is a cut achievement for mementos, i hope they're planning to add more and add the achievement at the very end

[light swan]

NINE SOLS FIRST BOSS SPOILERS
@graceful oyster @orchid spruce heres my average gp for now btw, do y’all have any more tech n stuff for me to try out this replay

[normal bramble]

Fleatopia one is one I just stare at and go “ya sure…”

[strong sand]

I would honestly be surprised if we don't get a new memento in sea of sorrow

[normal bramble]

Did it once and never again

[empty solstice]

They better not...
I cannot be asked to beat seth's highscores for his momento

[violet canopy]

Is the cursed ending required for completion?

[normal bramble]

No

[graceful oyster]

Hah, I happened to be listening to crossing blades as you posted this

[orchid spruce]

[normal bramble]

It gives an achievement and a Home Screen

[exotic dome]

juggle, pogo and dodge my fleas

[violet canopy]

I now got the ability to see completion % and I feel like I missed some stuff with 77% in the start of act 3

[strong sand]

No it's just a different ending you can get 100% without it but you do need to cure the curse for 100% to get witch crest

[tulip spire]

Nine sols tech: don’t get hit

[normal bramble]

Almost all completion is Mask shards spools and tools

[empty solstice]

juggle i've already done, (first try too!)
The other two though...

[tulip spire]

Memorizing this tech will pay dividends against the bullshit final boss

[quartz roost]

Ooo, good job! I don't really know many techs for Nine Sols so I can't really give you any tips

[violet canopy]

Alright I’ll do that after I finish the game, lucky I made a save file in act 2

[orchid spruce]

stay calm grynne its ok

[graceful oyster]

Do ||Yanlao|| before ||Goum|| because why not

[graceful oyster]

What

[orchid spruce]

nothing

[tulip spire]

I mean I think you’re playing pretty well generally since you’re perfect parrying and air parrying since it’s direction agnostic

[light swan]

dude bowel the alcohol never wore off

[quartz roost]

And parry

[light swan]

it’s less that im struggling i just wanna play coolly

the same way i’d suggest my past self to animation cancel and play with barbed bracelet

[tulip spire]

If you play well in nine sols you’ll look cool

[orchid spruce]

your Y looks not cool

boohoo

[light swan]

damn ok

[tulip spire]

It’s just very hard to play well

[quartz roost]

Question: Should I try to do silksong with one mask?

[tulip spire]

If you’re playing on standard difficulty if you don’t master the tech you’ll get your ass beat

[orchid spruce]

one of the reasons i like nine sols is it's very easy to look cool playing it just be mildly mid

[graceful oyster]

(NINE SOLS FINAL BOSS) Stand strong in the face of adversity and let the challenge blow past like a fleeting wind

[light swan]

i dont get it do you not like how i play lol

[brave geyser]

Made it past bell beast ts easy fr

[light swan]

ik im not spamming uc on every attack and stuff and that im not like, your level or whatever cux i just got back into the game

[plush plover]

epic gameplay, my only idea would be to try throwing in ||skull kicks|| while doing the regular slash combos for added cool points :stupid_yi:

[orchid spruce]

no, it's not targeted towards you lmao
i'm just saying it's ez to look cool in nine sols bc the floor is not that high

[tulip spire]

The floor is really high lol

[plush plover]

ik you didnt ask me but swagever

[light swan]

what was the stupidyis about

[light swan]

how does this work

[graceful oyster]

Stupidyi doesn't mean anything

[orchid spruce]

idk i just spam it everywhere

[graceful oyster]

It's just a stim

[orchid spruce]

grynne gets it

[graceful oyster]

[tulip spire]

You can make like two mistakes against Yingzhao and then you’re dead. It’s a pretty high floor

[exotic dome]

:stupid_yi:

[tulip spire]

||Goumang|| is ez though

[graceful oyster]

I give Discord $10 a month so I can stupid_yi

[normal sedge]

How yall feel about a crest that lets you bind with 3 silk for 1 mask and for every extra 3 silk you bind with you get 1 extra mask. The bind would only be a second long and heal the masks over time with 1 mask about every 1 or 1 and a half seconds

[light swan]

can we put boss names in spoilers for anyone else

[orchid spruce]

Not as high floor as some stupid shit tech in Silksong tbh

Oh yeah, and censor that

[plush plover]

regular slashes (easier when youre already off the ground by a bit) and throw in a ||skull kick|| between like the 2nd and 3rd slash to get more damage in

[graceful oyster]

Illusion did you see Starpengu is doing the challenge rooms (or at least checking them out)?

[light swan]

so i just skik and keep slashing?

[graceful oyster]

I'm excited to finally have someone other than just me experience them

[plush plover]

yah

[tulip spire]

I think like advanced tech mostly doesn’t exist in Nine Sols? The tech is just the intended gameplay lol

You either execute or ||Jiequan|| sets you on fire and that’s that

[graceful oyster]

Like genuinely other than devs and betatesters I think I've been the only person on the face of the planet to do the challenge rooms and it's BOOOOORING

[light swan]

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

[plush plover]

advanced tech is UC everything with ||divine hand|| :stupid_yi:

[orchid spruce]

It exists, it's just not all that difficult, ugh i guess except tunnel parrying and jump cancel which i can't do consistently

[light swan]

i’ll wait until theyre added into the game first

[graceful oyster]

Even better if you do it without

[quartz roost]

That's just worse than the normal bind lol. Plus it takes more silk per mask than normal

[empty solstice]

who wins in a fight hornet yi or the knight
-# idk yi powerscaling i played 9 hours of nine souls and stopped around the lab area thing after beating a few bosses

[tulip spire]

I wish the boss concepts in 9 sols were a bit more robust

[short trout]

Yall talk about this Nine Sols game a lot

[graceful oyster]

Yi just parries everything the Knight throws

[plush plover]

i could never i love dhj too much

[graceful oyster]

UC the shade spells

[quartz roost]

Because it's amazing

[plush plover]

TRUE

[orchid spruce]

LIMITLESS GLAZE

[tulip spire]

My favorite nine sols boss is ||Ji||

[plush plover]

based

[graceful oyster]

Oh boy I wonder what this 2-character spoiler tag could be

[tulip spire]

A bit too much hp but feels like the fairest fight in the game

[plush plover]

I have no favorite character whatsoever

[graceful oyster]

Lmao

[quartz roost]

Mine is ||Ji|| or ||butter fly lady||

[orchid spruce]

[tulip spire]

||Nuwa can die in a fire||

[graceful oyster]

Because it's really easy and one-sided

[orchid spruce]

guys, the best boss is obvious

[inland sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/soggy-cat-soggy-cat-cat-meme-silly-gif-1947576969338905744

[orchid spruce]

just say it with me 🥹

[plush plover]

||Baichang|| surely

[tulip spire]

I mean the bosses surrounding that one are rng and rng but worse

[light swan]

noggins on top

[inland sparrow]

Moss mother

[graceful oyster]

People who say ||twins|| are rng are just skissuing

[tulip spire]

You can roll some pretty dogass patterns

[light swan]

the fucks are fuckers rng or not

[graceful oyster]

||Twins|| are all about positioning and using alternate solutions if necessary

[plush plover]

i never particularly cared for them theyre like my 5th fave or something like that

[tulip spire]

It’s a classic bad two guys soulslike boss

Very cool looking fight though at least

[graceful oyster]

If parrying puts you into a snake, dash instead

[orchid spruce]

[tulip spire]

The hitbox on the back step attack is so fucked

[plush plover]

wtf nine sols lets you move around❓

[tulip spire]

Why is it behind Yi lol

[exotic dome]

who up nining they sols

[tulip spire]

Boss that took me the longest was ||lady ethereal||. Hate that fight.

[light swan]

everyone knows i love forward slashes that hit behind the enemy

[heady iron]

hey I wanted to join that

[graceful oyster]

[plush plover]

[tulip spire]

With unclear telegraphing

[tulip spire]

She’s kind of rng I think. My success rate directly correlated to my luck in phase 2

[plush plover]

i think the big CRIMSON orb is enough of a sign to either get out of the way or UC

[light swan]

i swear they buffed imperfect parries

[graceful oyster]

-# WHY ARE THERE ADS ON MY TACHYCARDIA VIDEO

[quartz cave]

https://tenor.com/view/dennis-whitaker-derp-the-pitt-gif-3657539233116397586

[quartz roost]

You hate the fight, meanwhile it's my favorite fight

[orchid spruce]

what drugs were you on during the first playthrough

[tulip spire]

It’s hard to ub since you’ve got two attacks coming in during the charge. The window is real small. I ended up mostly lucking out and avoiding it twice and then she never did it again

[plush plover]

taking the drug that makes you absorb one billion internal damage

[light swan]

i swear they never gave back qi or disarmed the robots

[orchid spruce]

||imperfect doesn't disarm||

[tulip spire]

No imperfects always gave qi

[light swan]

i always thought “ok so spamming parry is viable but i still need to perfect it to use my damage”

[light swan]

well it just did

[graceful oyster]

It does iirc

[orchid spruce]

???

truly nine sols, every copy is personalized

[tulip spire]

Guys did anyone else get stuck on the eleventh sol

[plush plover]

randomly became bad at ||water flow|| again 💀

[tulip spire]

How do you become bad at that it’s automated

[light swan]

bruh they hit behind them

[plush plover]

the cycle where i run one specific tali for one specific challenge and then i lose all muscle memory for every other one

[tulip spire]

This statement can apply to like 80% of the hostile encounters in the game lol

Nine sols has some jank hitboxes sometimes. Makes it easier to parry but also pain

[light swan]

i don’t have a keybind for bow is that valid

[plush plover]

genuinely fell into ||eigong crimson fire|| while streaming to like 4 people because i thought i was running ||full control|| 💔

[plush plover]

always

[light swan]

skick is expensive i don’t really wanna get it

[orchid spruce]

It's easy to make hitboxes fit perfectly, but they didn't do that and it's for the player's benefit, makes everything easier to parry

[light swan]

but makesit more annoying to not parry which affects no one except for me

[orchid spruce]

unless you're not parrying then it's against you

[plush plover]

everything is expensive 😔

[orchid spruce]

[tulip spire]

Full control deez nuts [teleports behind u and sets you on fire]

[graceful oyster]

But the juicy 5-hit aerial combo

[orchid spruce]

the jank hitboxes especially benefit ||unbounded counter||, which you think is peak

[light swan]

why does wirlfriend require UC

[graceful oyster]

What

[orchid spruce]

tf is wirlfriend

[light swan]

WF

[light swan]

what i jut hacked wrong but i did it so fast it worked

[tulip spire]

Always be parrying even when you don’t think an attack is gonna connect I think really is the motto

[worthy lintel]

Hornet is void

[graceful oyster]

From a game design standpoint I'd lock it behind midgame to make sure people are well established in using the normal talis structure before allowing an automated one

[light swan]

i think it’s fine becaue it deals less damage rifht

since less qi

[orchid spruce]

who's gonna tell him

[tulip spire]

WF costs 2 qi lol

[light swan]

and FC uses 5

[graceful oyster]

FC uses however much you want

[light swan]

i was never incentivized to get WF because it’s easy to hold and burst 5 already

and regular uses 3 right

[graceful oyster]

Up to 3

[tulip spire]

Regular is up to 3

[graceful oyster]

Uses all you have up to 3

[tulip spire]

I know people like using fc for ||eigong|| but like how

[graceful oyster]

Lots of windows

[orchid spruce]

she's a punching bag

[graceful oyster]

Cancellable with no detriment if she switches up

[orchid spruce]

just punch her

[round creek]

Are the automatons alive

[light swan]

i wish qi could be used to heal

that would be cool

[tulip spire]

That’s what smonk is for

[exotic dome]

just smoke the zaza for heal

[orchid spruce]

[light swan]

yea but using qi for it is cooler

[tulip spire]

Why didn’t the Solarians just hit the blunt are they stupid

[light swan]

and i dont like systems that give you limited heals that you refresh at checkpoints it’s boring

not that it’s bad its just not my preference :D

[tulip spire]

It’s too easy to farm qi

[light swan]

it’s a gripe towards blasphemous and afterimage too

[light swan]

thats true

[tulip spire]

Oh no I’m low on hp I’ll just stand in front of a low level mook and perfect him for a minute

[orchid spruce]

lmao

[tulip spire]

Itd be effectively impossible any boss that isn’t like idk ||Yanlao|| to kill you since everyone else hands out qi like candy

Oh and ||Kanghui|| I suppose once again proving that even under alternative systems he sucks

I’m glad he’s dead

[mystic chasm]

gms woudl 100% beat the radiance right

i mean the CHUDiance needs to trick bugs into accepting her light

and was instantly packed up by the void

[foggy gulch]

i cant shaw no more

🧐

[orchid spruce]

NINE SOLS MAJOR-ISH SPOILERS

@graceful oyster I forgot how cool his music is

[worthy stream]

Sos when

[graceful oyster]

Nice timing on those UCs!

[orchid spruce]

[light swan]

is there any reason why i shouldnt ||kill all the shanhai 9000||

[orchid spruce]

||achievement & secret cutscene||

[graceful oyster]

They're funny :D
And if you don't have the ||fortune teller|| achiev

[orchid spruce]

i only have 10 hours on the GRIME save (real hours) but my Steam says 40 hours, I'm just AFK too much

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-3495860185272545760

[graceful oyster]

Why does jq's fight pan in on him for a second whenever fighting him

[magic narwhal]

Why tf do you go to Mount Fay for OG Silkshot

Hornet can have a workbench...

[light swan]

cuz mount fay is a weavenest

[orchid spruce]

never noticed till you point it out lmao

[magic narwhal]

You don't need a Weavenest tho

Forge Daughter and Architect just use a bench

[light swan]

it’s the materials in the weavenest specifically that do that

[graceful oyster]

It's bothered me since the first time I fought him

[orchid spruce]

[magic narwhal]

Alternatively why not Atla lol

Very nice actual workbench there

[light swan]

because those materials are in askar not atla

the materials in atla make the snare setter

[rose hatch]

Js got all 10 masks 👀

[neat python]

There's 11

[rose hatch]

Bruh

you gotta be joking

[neat python]

😂😂😂

[rose hatch]

Nah you mean for that

I’m pretty sure there’s only 10 😭

[neat python]

I genuinely cant remember

Its been too long since I played lol

[mystic chasm]

why doesnt hornet just sit on the ground? is she stupid

free heals

[light swan]

NINE SOLS SPOILERS @graceful oyster i dont remember how to get to ||yanlao before goumang||

[graceful oyster]

Me neither I've never done it

[brave geyser]

11 hits act 1 we are digging straight down

[graceful oyster]

Maybe go through most of right side and then before going to her, go to left side and do all of that

You might just need ||charged strike||

[brave geyser]

5 of which were from straight pins to lace

[light swan]

i think so

[quartz roost]

Can you even do that? I thought ||Goumang|| was a trigger for ||Yanlao||?

[light swan]

i think its possible

[vale whale]

go to gougou way first until you get charged strike and then head to yan

you can do yan before yin

[light swan]

what if i just do everything except for the bosses

[graceful oyster]

I have heard 1st 3 are doable in any order and it makes sense

[light swan]

collect all the abilities and stuff

[mystic chasm]

9% talking about silksong
6741% talking about nine sols

[light swan]

is there naything that locks me out

[graceful oyster]

I think that's how it has to be done

[vale whale]

i lowkey got a tao fruit before beating yin

[vale whale]

no you cant ever get lockwd out of anything

until ponr

and a few quests

[orchid spruce]

||you only need to do the fengs and ji to finish the game, as they gatekeep the two items needed to destroy the pinkslop and reach Eigong (this is the Any% route)|| (Nine Sols major spoilers)

[light swan]

as in like is there anything that locks me from continuing further

[light swan]

yea but theres hella sequence breaks to even reach them

[orchid spruce]

speedrunning so

[light swan]

for a more casual player without doing ledge storage wiggle fly rope storange shenanigans

[round creek]

I wonder if any vessels wandered their way into pharloom

[orchid spruce]

||you will only be called by jiequan once you have all three seals|| (NINE SOLS SPOILERS)

[orchid spruce]

omg ANOTHER grime peak boss

[raw pawn]

did you know that Nine Sols has Nine Sols?

[orchid spruce]

why is this peak so underrated

[opaque sigil]

Stockholm syndrome

[raw pawn]

😭

[orchid spruce]

this shit is pure vessel

omg

[rocky jolt]

so youre some sort of king of nightmares

[raw pawn]

What if zote was a prince

[rocky jolt]

and green

[raw pawn]

green prince zote

[rocky jolt]

zote if he fell in love with the knight instead

[raw pawn]

Wdym he always loved the knight he is just hiding it trust

[terse heart]

tips?

[rocky jolt]

i must have been playing jolly knight instead all this time

[raw pawn]

Stay cursed until you beat the game

[stray shuttle]

so i am thinking about buying between HK and Silksong and i haven't played any of the both, which one do i buy ?

[light swan]

hk

[raw pawn]

Hey don't tomato me

[normal bramble]

A lot of Clawline

[raw pawn]

I don't really have tips for the fight tho good luck

[normal bramble]

The more you Clawline the better you’re doing

[rocky jolt]

you go in the order in which they happened in hk then silksong

[orchid spruce]

omg it's EVEN more peak

WTF IS THIS BOSS

[stray shuttle]

thx

[raw pawn]

Worst thing about the fight is that you can't use silk skills

[normal bramble]

I personally played silksong then HK but the traditional order for them is HK then SK

[orchid spruce]

AWESOME GRIME BOSS

[raw pawn]

Awesome Grimm boss

[rocky jolt]

ya this is really the only tip i would give

[slim thorn]

huh?
upswings or pogos are good enough
clawline can be usefull to escape tho

[quartz roost]

Get a parasite implanted into you

[normal bramble]

Clawline allows you do basically hunt down gms Everytime she ever tries to move

[raw pawn]

Imagine this out of context

[slim thorn]

oh more optimization i see

[round creek]

How does killing one of the ||old rulers in their memories kill them in real life||

[normal bramble]

Also you can Clawline to dodge her attacks some of her attacks then Clawline back in

[raw pawn]

You take their heart

[quartz roost]

I was going to say child but that's a little too crazy out of contexts

[slim thorn]

magic i guess? it makes sense to me but dont ask how, it just does and seem completely correct and normal

[quartz roost]

Because you take their heart

[normal bramble]

Lmao I get it dw

[raw pawn]

Pretty sure if you kill someone's memory you kill them too tho

[orchid spruce]

is this boss better than seth?

[normal bramble]

That’s me with like 90% of stuff I do in silksong, I’ll just look at my clips and be like “how in the world did I even do that, what even were the inputs for that-“

[quartz roost]

I would think they'd become pretty much an empty shell of a body

[mystic chasm]

think of it like you're calling tung tung tung sahur in real life

[orchid spruce]

no, it's not, so i guess another C+ boss

above NKG

[slim thorn]

be carefull around this place child wielding parasite

[raw pawn]

gng what does this mean

[mystic chasm]

im joshing twin 🤣 the only one i know is karmelita, you defeat her so she allows you to take her heart

[quartz roost]

Oh my lol

[mystic chasm]

idk about the rest of them, their hearts kinda just appear once you defeat them

made you like weaken them after you defeat them in their memory

[raw pawn]

Does yarnaby react to you being muckmaggoted? I am gonna check it myself

[mystic chasm]

i think so

talks about healing and sitting at a bench i think

[quartz roost]

Being their souls are there enough for you to inter their memories their hearts are probably in the statues or something

[mystic chasm]

is nyleth defending her heart using like willpower or something

and then krust king khaan just uhhh

[mystic chasm]

i'm talking about how the hearts are even revealed to the player

[raw pawn]

Why does hornet have to fight nyleth and khann to take their hearts while they are dead? Is she stupid

[mystic chasm]

like why does killing them in memory allow you to take their hearts, other than karmelita

[round creek]

How do ||plants emerge after killing the green prince||

[orchid spruce]

i'm fighting two bosses back to back

[mystic chasm]

i guess the only dead boss you get a heart from is nyleth

[mystic chasm]

i mean dead bodies can be used as fertilizer no

[raw pawn]

maybe we will get a 3rd cogwork dancers fight in a dlc

[mystic chasm]

let this guy rest 😭

[raw pawn]

What if it's verdania blooming again tho

[mystic chasm]

maybe when you kill them 'in memory' you're actually killing them, like you kill their soul or something

for krust king khan atleast

[main urchin]

green prince must be full of sh#t then

[raw pawn]

Isn't khann already dead

[normal bramble]

No god please fucking no

Never revive those fuck ass enemies

I hate all of them

[mystic chasm]

i thought khann was just frozen because of no water, if you gave him some water he'd come back right

[main urchin]

me who actually liked the verdanirs as enemies

[normal bramble]

I love the green prince but I despise every single verdania native

[rocky jolt]

bro is a dry ghast

[mystic chasm]

maybe when you go into nyleth's memory your going into the heart not the statue

[main urchin]

Screw those little dudes who take 3 needle hits instead of 1 or 2 for some reason and always damage you

[worldly umbra]

daily cat

[orchid spruce]

this is like watcher knight but less annoying

not all that impressive

[light swan]

my respawn point was set in spikes wtf

[mystic chasm]

i dont think it really explains how the heart appears but i mean atleast you arent going into the memory of a statue

[main urchin]

Pour flea brew on him

[mystic chasm]

how was nyleth even like queen of shellwood or whatever

such a push over, how do you get got by like the easiest boss ever

and then her boss fight is easy asf too

[rocky jolt]

she is a seed that created an entire forest

[mystic chasm]

i mean yah but did she not protect the people in shellwood or something

[rocky jolt]

but nyleths fight shows how much aerial combat potential this game has

until sister splinter came around

[glacial notch]

sk too easy

[mystic chasm]

or wait did she just die to some other thing and then sister splinter came in and took shellwood

[normal bramble]

Jesus Christ I haven’t played sk in ages I’ve gotten use to mark of pride HK range

[mystic chasm]

fr

[normal bramble]

Oh well trail by fire time, high halls gauntlet on repeat till I’m used to it again

[mystic chasm]

for having such a long weapon hornet has no range

[raw pawn]

First time I hear someone saying SK too easy

[rocky jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/crab-eating-grape-white-ghost-gif-10441093735883391860

Oh wow I don’t even have a map on my save

I think I was going for purple quill 😭

Welp let’s see if I can even remember my way to high halls

[raw pawn]

Grape trobbio

[mystic chasm]

trobbio was honestly suprisingly easy

at first he looked like a hard bossfight but then i fought him and best him like second try

[violet canopy]

He kinda beat my ass took me like 10 tries

[normal bramble]

Trobbio took me the second longest of any boss

Karmelita being the longest

[violet canopy]

Not lost lace?

[normal bramble]

2nd tried

[main urchin]

Splinter just showed up and seized a power vacuum

[violet canopy]

Damn

[raw pawn]

First time I fought him I found him hard then he became easy after like 2 deaths

[violet canopy]

The 2 lace fights I had so far were very easy

I though as a final boss tho…

[worn reef]

2nd lace is actually hard

[raw pawn]

I still don't like his Tornado move tho

[violet canopy]

Trobio got so much going on

[main urchin]

Lace 2 might’ve taken longer than LL for me

[mystic chasm]

I lowk decimated lace 2 with tacks on my first playthrough

[normal bramble]

I never struggled with any lace fight honestly

[rocky jolt]

me accepting the pain, unemployment and starvation wish to fight homeless trobbio

[worn reef]

still have done karmelita yet so....lmao

[violet canopy]

It was the easiest to punish for me, I was begging him to stop throwing them balls and do the tornado instead

[slim thorn]

she forgot to equip the compass :(

[normal bramble]

Oh wow I did make it to high halls

I still remember choral chambers mapping!

[violet canopy]

Without a map?

[raw pawn]

I somehow found tormented Trobbio easier than normal trobbio tho

[worn reef]

how

[mystic chasm]

lowk i havent beat lost lace yet

[normal bramble]

Yup

[violet canopy]

Crazy

[mystic chasm]

More tools and stuff

[mystic chasm]

meant to reply to this

[slim thorn]

like that it took you less to beat than first trobbio?

[worn reef]

tt is hard

[raw pawn]

Eh you don't really need a map after your 2nd or 3rd playthrough ngl

[normal bramble]

Same

[mystic chasm]

I mean..

[worn reef]

tormented trobbios trails are like nkg

[normal bramble]

The only area I fr appreciate a map on is the vaults

Vaults is annoying to navigate everything is fairly easy

[bitter briar]

If silk is your power what is song without it?

[worn reef]

id choose vaults over bile or ducts

[slim thorn]

the one that has a big room that doesnt show you the blockings on its path and that you have to go through like 3 different times to fully explore?

[mystic chasm]

i havent fought tormented trobbio in a while but i remember beating him super easily

[worn reef]

dang

[raw pawn]

vaults is one of my favorite areas tho because it has Trobbio and cardinius

[normal bramble]

Trobbio is choral chambers

[raw pawn]

Yes I like cardinius

[mystic chasm]

im indifferent about vaults

[normal bramble]

Yup

[worn reef]

wait I mistook liking vaults for whiteward

[normal bramble]

Bile and ducts are easy to go through without a map

Ducts because it’s small bilewater because it’s linear

[mystic chasm]

i didnt reslly like whiteward ngl

[worn reef]

whiteward is underrated

[normal bramble]

Vault is a complete mess of an area

[graceful cairn]

LMAO

[mystic chasm]

it’s kinda creepy but once you realize theres little to no enemies there it just became annoying to navagate because it will say a path is open and i go there and it’s a wall

[lilac karma]

Sk update in a week guys

[raw pawn]

tomorrow

[normal bramble]

Alright high halls time

[lilac karma]

Sk update just a week away

[worn reef]

just that one weird boss in whiteward

[normal bramble]

I can surely still do this on 5 masks no tools

[normal bramble]

Surely

[light swan]

yay ||airdash||

nine sols ability spoilers

someone teach me optimal movement tech

[worn reef]

i need to replay ninesols

[light swan]

im replaying nine sols rn

[worn reef]

enderlillies and ender magnolia were fun

[light swan]

also i beat one of the ||red dragon elite|| guys first try so fast i could fit it in a 30 second nintendo switch clip

[orchid spruce]

||airdash + parry/slash + small jump, repeat||

[mystic chasm]

would a sequel to nine sols be called nine sols 2, 10 sols, 18 sols, or 9 9 sols

[bitter briar]

10 sols

[worn reef]

81 sols

[bitter briar]

Actually probably 0 sol

[orchid spruce]

it would be called your father's presence because it doesn't exist ||sorry||

[light swan]

thanks

[mystic chasm]

sharts cutely omg frick my gassy life

never saying this shit again

[rocky jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/sus-pizza-among-us-among-us-meme-sussy-gif-24581549

[normal bramble]

Nope.

[light swan]

thisll take a while to get good at

[orchid spruce]

this tech is called swagdashing

[light swan]

||does the parry have to be immediate after the airdash|| nine sols

[orchid spruce]

aura farming tech name

[mystic chasm]

the silksong mask economy must be ass

[orchid spruce]

||before you land||

[light swan]

one day ill be able to say sunstroosting

[mystic chasm]

i mean, you get 5 masks, alot of enemies do 2 damage so really you have 3 alot of the time, and you rarely find mask shards around the map

[orchid spruce]

the extra parry/slash only makes you like some pixels faster

so you can honestly skip it

[bitter briar]

If silk is song than what is noise?

[mystic chasm]

and then once you get another mask you still really have 3 masks when fighting enemies that do 2 damage

[mystic chasm]

noise

[light swan]

alr

[bitter briar]

Pizza tower mentioned

Noise pizza tower real

[mystic chasm]

🥹

[orchid spruce]

nine sols spoilers

[bitter briar]

I still haven’t figured out how to do that

[light swan]

seems like in every game except for afterimage or midslop like mio and hk the strat is to dash jump

[bitter briar]

Did u just call Mio slop

[light swan]

yes

[bitter briar]

Dang

[rotund gate]

finally someone realized how mid mio is

[bitter briar]

How the turns have tabled

[bitter briar]

You were hella hyping the game

[orchid spruce]

wrong clip

[rotund gate]

How is sherma not at S

[light swan]

i realized it was bad

[mystic chasm]

"ranking all minecraft potions" ahh

[rocky jolt]

i put these guys here to kith

[light swan]

and that you shouldnt play it

[orchid spruce]

nine sols spoilers

[rocky jolt]

these are the next tierlist

[mystic chasm]

bilewater gauntlet was certainly memorable

[rotund gate]

wingsmould instant s 🗣️ 🔥

[light swan]

NINE SOLS SPOILERS

[rocky jolt]

this one would taste the best

[rocky jolt]

i lied the one in bilewater would

[orchid spruce]

🔥

[mystic chasm]

thats like the macha equivalent of pogo balls

because it's green

[rocky jolt]

yeah but its a real pulsating being unlike macha

[light swan]

is there more tech i should be doing

[orchid spruce]

nine sols spoiler

completely useless tech ||charged strike storage ||

[mystic chasm]

is it a tumor

like is it just a hunk of flesh

[lucid trellis]

fighting karm, going to ise hunter, pogo seems perfect, wish me luck

[light swan]

i dont get it

||youre UCing while charged striking?|| nine sols spoilers

[mystic chasm]

fighting karmalita, going to use hunter crest, pogo is perfect

[orchid spruce]

it's 111% useless anyways

[mystic chasm]

goodluck twin

[rocky jolt]

probably sum single celled organism that got taken over by bile

[bitter briar]

Who uses this outside of ||jiequan||

Probably worst skill ingame, literally forced to use

[mystic chasm]

the person who uses it

[orchid spruce]

||i released charge strike during the uc release animation. the charged strike automatically happened afterwards|| nine sols spoiler

hence, ||charged strike storage||

[light swan]

ah

seems kinda useless :D

[orchid spruce]

😄

[graceful oyster]

My mom just sent me a message saying she bought a physical Switch copy of MIO

[light swan]

why do yall have cool family members

[graceful oyster]

She hasn't played a game that wasn't on her phone since like, Super Mario Bros

[orchid spruce]

[graceful oyster]

I didn't ever nudge her to do this she's just cool like that

[orchid spruce]

She wanted to reconnect to her rebellious teenager

[graceful oyster]

I don't even live near her

[orchid spruce]

[graceful oyster]

Brother I am out of the nest lol

[bitter briar]

Isn’t Mio slop now

[light swan]

yea

[graceful oyster]

We're chill

[orchid spruce]

We sometimes do what's called slopbaiting

[light swan]

man collage is so good

Little does she know her son is like one of the maybe 20 most knowledagble people about Mio

[orchid spruce]

it's so good

[light swan]

It’s fucking impressive, but imagine if you had spent those 2k hours on, for lack of a better word, something more meaningful. Something that could benefit you financially. If you had spent those hours learning programming you’d probably be good enough to make 2.2 yourself. It’s really crazy to me how people can commit to such time investments for little to no reward.

[light swan]

holy shit bro

I'll watch this one

I have to pause because I'm dying laughing

Tears streaming down my face

[mystic chasm]

i know i am very funny

hilarious, comedic even

[quartz roost]

The hitboxes are even that bad lol. Plus don't you want them big so you can parry more often?

[light swan]

do people complain about that attack

[orchid spruce]

yeah

it's the most frequent complaint about the fight

[light swan]

wtf

[bitter briar]

Of all the bullshit attacks, talisman is a crazy one to complain about

[light swan]

is that the fucking british indian guy

[orchid spruce]

who

[light swan]

the fucking yi pllush

[graceful oyster]

I can't keep myself together

[onyx python]

[graceful oyster]

[graceful oyster]

This is one of the funniest videos I've ever seen

[plush plover]

the talisman top 10 video is one of the greatest videos of all time

[light swan]

why didnt bro let the best part of the song ifnish

[onyx python]

the judges, the cogworkers, yk

[graceful oyster]

It's Alan Walker even if you've never heard the song before you can just mentally fill in the blanks

[light swan]

i know but i want to hear it not mentally hear it

i can mentally hear any/every song

(assuming ive logged it in my brain before)

[marsh ibex]

because you see similar colors and feel a connection

HK uses a base of certain colors for certain groups and the Citadel’s bronze/gilded feel aligns with the Godseekers

the difference is their architecture

[versed pollen]

Why would anybody want to make GD 2.2

[light swan]

HOW DO YOU KNOW that copypasta came from geometry dash

[versed pollen]

It was stinky and rancid

[orchid spruce]

she talked with you some time ago about geometry dash

[versed pollen]

I don't know Geometry Dash never have

[orchid spruce]

you silly goldfish

[light swan]

wait nevermind it says 2.2 in the fucking lines

[plush plover]

i was gonna say 😭

[light swan]

im a jjk fan i cant read

Do not show the person who made that copypasta the open source software community

They will fall over and die instantly

Khann's the crab in the top left of the dish, yeah?

What if I'm stupid

[plush plover]

but no way bon finally hopping on nine sols

[barren dew]

I was told to play it like millions of times way before but I get lazy 💔

[plush plover]

fairly sure like 80% of those times were from me anyways

[orchid spruce]

you and I do more advertising for the game than RCG

[barren dew]

Game about cats who fight eachother for no reason why so EVIL

the rest are super nice and heartwarming

[tight viper]

ENOUGH!! Who do they think they are? We give them everything, and they lull us to sleep! Don't they know what we're capable of?

...WEAVERS... They only think about themselves—they're pretenders! They won't lavish in their false rule, they won't flee beyond our silken sight... WE WON'T LET THEM!

WE'RE ETERNAL! WE'RE TRUE DIVINITY! WE'RE THE MONARCH OF PHARLOOM!

WE... ARE... SILK!!

man so many things i need to play

[tight viper]

fixed it

[light swan]

can you still knock them into the sand

[graceful oyster]

I wonder how my mom will like MIO since she's not a gamer at all and it isn't very easy.
She doesn't have any expectations because she doesn't know what other games are like

[rocky jolt]

It's just about the least biased you can get

Thats fucked up.

Let the bugs eat them

[light swan]

boss is ruined

[orchid spruce]

i'm sure she'll like it

[plush plover]

bugs from hollow knight

[light swan]

that was the only thing that made wate interesting 💔

[midnight magnet]

Hi im the bugs from hollow knight

[plush plover]

im a big fan of your work

[rocky jolt]

hk fan bosses: ok i make boss faster

[midnight magnet]

Thanks

[graceful oyster]

I wish I could visit her while she plays but it's just not possible

[humble surge]

too much cheese festival

[graceful oyster]

This is such a great opportunity to get insight into what the game is like on a foundational level

[light swan]

hk fans: i make
faster ok: boss bosses

[humble surge]

dw itll be an actually good bossfight when im done with him compared to the rush slop tc made (he deserved better)

[rocky jolt]

type shi

[light swan]

the rush slop is fun because you can knock them into the sand

[humble surge]

this is just phase 1, im planning on some area control and phantom phase 2 type shi

[light swan]

wate and witch crest are the reasons why heavy blow needs to be added into skong

[humble surge]

like imagine sandstorm for phase 3, tink effects appear from the direction hes going to come at you

and each tink effect will mean a different attack, kinda like inner eggnog

[barren dew]

I'm so fricking scared is this bugs from hollow knight

[normal bramble]

Does anyone remember where the 4th tool dmg upgrade is?
The three I remember are architect grindle and forge daughter

[tight viper]

Criege iirc

[normal bramble]

Ah

[rocky jolt]

someone should make an awakened groal fight

or groal with the reaper crest

infact just make a groal skin mod

[tawdry socket]

Got to act 3 :)

[tawdry socket]

Its given by the bug that was where grindle was in the marrow

[normal bramble]

That’s a tool pouch

Not a crafting kit

[tawdry socket]

O

No i forgor

[still osprey]

Creige, reward for completing Crawbug Clearing

[normal bramble]

The only guy to not charge you rosaries for one

[onyx python]

the citadel is consuming my brain

i become more insane as time goes on

[undone gate]

That quest is also mandatory for Act 3 right

[quartz roost]

Y'all know any mods to put me at one mask?

[light swan]

im suddenly wondering why i like afterimage more than 9s

this isnt me

[undone gate]

There should be a 1 mask mod even otherwise you can use debug mod to get yourself to 1 mask

[lucid trellis]

well, at least the song playing whole im getting my ass handed to me is a banger

[still osprey]

Yea

[quartz roost]

I don't see one. I'm using r2modman

[undone gate]

Just search Debug Mod

[still osprey]

I had a dream you could clawline diagonally during Flea Dodge

[lucid trellis]

[quartz roost]

Thanks

[lucid trellis]

Ah yes, ant

[meager jolt]

Adorable emote, too bad you can't use animated ones without Nitro

[undone gate]

Clawlineing Diagonally Upward would be insanely useful for Flea Dodge

[still osprey]

Yea

[hybrid forge]

EVERYONE! Theirs a bench on the far right side of the coral tower!

Has anyone else discovered this

[twin summit]

there's

[undone gate]

I must say though using Clawline in the last moment just stalled time enough to get the required time for Pale Oil and another time to get the required time for Seth

[undone gate]

Yea I know about it

[meager jolt]

Yeah, for changing your tools or something like that

[still osprey]

No you are the first person to find it in the 7 months the game has been out for

[undone gate]

Yea each dream boss has a pretty close bench

[meager jolt]

Clover Dancers

[undone gate]

Just go right it's like a somewhat long room but still not insanely far

[meager jolt]

Yes, but Lost Verdania is an entire area

[still osprey]

Nyleth's bench is further away than Clover Dancers

[main urchin]

Unpopular take but I feel like I got more enjoyment from Aeterna Noctis than Afterimage

[undone gate]

And you have to pay 15 rosaries every time you want to change something

[meager jolt]

You mean Seth's bench?

[main urchin]

Though Aeterna also made me way more infuriated

[lucid trellis]

yes

[light swan]

i havent played aeterna

[still osprey]

It's the same one does it matter

[light swan]

ive heard mixed things

[undone gate]

The underworks Bench is the closest bench to both Seth and Nyleth

[meager jolt]

Yes

[main urchin]

It’s basically metroidvania: hell mode

[lucid trellis]

I want to sit in the rock seth was on

[light swan]

i thought afterimage was the most metroidvania metroidvania lol

[meager jolt]

You can actually die to Seth

[light swan]

most worrying thing ive heard is that each area kinda feels standalone

[main urchin]

Map oversized to biblically absurd levels

[worldly lake]

simply take the blasted steps bench 🔥 🔥 🔥

[meager jolt]

That's a vibe

[worldly lake]

the pharloom economy amirite

[undone gate]

Yea but we are talking about the distance outside the dream to the closest bench

[main urchin]

Like 16 freaking areas

[light swan]

bigger than afterimage?

[still osprey]

I have great news for you

[meager jolt]

Ahhh, okey

[main urchin]

I think Afterimage is a bit bigger but AN is like #2 for metroidvania size

[meager jolt]

Oi?

[lucid trellis]

hornet collaborating with the beastlings to bring a bench with her everywhere

[lucid trellis]

what?

[light swan]

afterimage has 21 areas not counting subareas that you hardly explore

[still osprey]

The pre-fleatopia pale lake bench they added is the same one Seth sits on in the Flea Festival

[lucid trellis]

no, i mean the one he sits on before he beats your ass in the boss fight

[undone gate]

That's why it's better to do Verdania instead in Steel Soul

[graceful oyster]

Top 10 reasons ei-

[meager jolt]

That's what I did!

[lucid trellis]

same with the conchflies

[still osprey]

I mean they're basically the same if you really think about it

[main urchin]

It’s got hollow knight healing but you need more hits to heal

[light swan]

if i counted the subareas you hardly explore itd be 28

[meager jolt]

You need 3 old hearts, choose your battle

[main urchin]

AND not every attack gives you the soul equivalent for healing

[worldly lake]

wasn't seth standing the whole time

[light swan]

dude i keep miscounting and the number keeps rising

[lucid trellis]

yeah, but I don't want to have ti run all the way back to change my tools for nyleth

[main urchin]

AND there’s the most brutal platforming in any metroidvania

[meager jolt]

No, he was sitting on a rock

[worldly lake]

damn i got extremely loud incorrect buzzered 😔

now i'm gonna get vaporized

[undone gate]

It's like I guess 4 short rooms long

[light swan]

is it brutal fun?

[main urchin]

Uhhh… maybe?

[meager jolt]

And 15 Rosaries

[light swan]

like celeste or mio

[versed pollen]

Hm. Okay, something interesting is happening

[light swan]

or is it like worse path of pain where its all precision n shit

[main urchin]

But the platforming difficulty varies from like, queens gardens to path of pain

[light swan]

trailers arent selling me

[lucid trellis]

cogwork core: path of minor inconvenience

[versed pollen]

Aw....

[orchid spruce]

Oh, it's aeterna noctis' turn

[main urchin]

The hardest stuff is harder than path of pain

And so much longer

[orchid spruce]

This game has one of the hardest bosses in metroidvania, I heard

[undone gate]

You also have Mount Fay, Abyss Climb and Surface Climb

[light swan]

visually it looks mid, the map looks mid too cuz i got spoiled on what it looks like at one time

and also becaus the trailer shows me so much

[main urchin]

A random slime boss that JUST WONT FREAKING DIE

[orchid spruce]

"Mostly Positive", nevermind Not enough money to invest in Mostly Positive games

[leaden delta]

ohhh aeterna noctis

[light swan]

eveyrthing looks so disconnected and thats what ive heard from others too

[lucid trellis]

its non-newtonion

[leaden delta]

i have that game!

[main urchin]

It’s just a big slime that spawns little slimes but IT WONT FREAKING DIE

[leaden delta]

i really shouldve gotten through it more

[orchid spruce]

and it's more expensive than nine sols

[leaden delta]

i like the platforming though

[orchid spruce]

i probably will never buy it unless it's 90% off

[meager jolt]

Abyss climb wasn't too bad and surface climb is overhyped to hell

[lucid trellis]

why foes that cat look like elder hu

[main urchin]

light tower is peak, rest is kinda mixed

[orchid spruce]

i think it's probably pretty good though

or decent

[main urchin]

Abyss climb you might die a few times but it’s hype as hell

[light swan]

i feel like this was drawn by a 12 year old on google slides

[orchid spruce]

[light swan]

im sorry 😭

[undone gate]

They aren't hard I am just saying they are more platforming section in Silksong

[light swan]

i also know im the only one who likes afteirmage

[main urchin]

afterimage asking where the difficulty went (the answer is the shadow realm)

[meager jolt]

The vibe is immaculate, but I personally never died during it (nor took a hit during lava rise)

[leaden delta]

https://giphy.com/gifs/fantastic-four-the-thing-say-that-again-Ivw3Gzk8EK495WrQmk

Hot maybe hot maybe only a little spicy take: abyss escape is better than any of the Ori Games’ escape sequences

[meager jolt]

Twinsies!

[main urchin]

I dunno how it’s better than the Ginso Tree or the Sandworm

But it FREAKING IS ANYWAY

[versed pollen]

hmm Aeterna Noctis' movement looks kinda rigid to me....

[light swan]

yea

[main urchin]

It gets cool with the blue arrows tho

[orchid spruce]

GRIME just randomly has framerate drops Might be my potato laptop issue

[leaden delta]

it is

[main urchin]

but also insanely hard

[light swan]

are we serious rn what is ts

[orchid spruce]

I have to close the game when it happens then reboot

[leaden delta]

i dont think thats bad though

[lucid trellis]

anyway, got full nasks, spool, and mqx needle

[orchid spruce]

[main urchin]

Welcome to hell

[versed pollen]

I just don't really like sticky, rigid platforming

[icy crow]

Bloodbone Rapids

[main urchin]

Looks like Bone Cancer

[light swan]

my goat put aeterna noctis in B tier

[versed pollen]

I have like a billion million games in my backlog anyways

One day I will finally get to IWBTG

[light swan]

its in B tier right

[versed pollen]

Okay who the hell is your goat

[light swan]

leftish bottomish

[light swan]

https://www.youtube.com/@MetroidvaniaGuru/videos

hes played 169 metroidvanias and has great taste

as you can see from his top 3

[versed pollen]

This image is some bullshit the only ones I recognize are the ones I've either played before or have seen 10 billion people play before

[light swan]

whys that bullshit

[versed pollen]

I get hardly any information from this image if it's so blurry I can only make out like 5 titles

[light swan]

well yea theres 169 games

[versed pollen]

Allow me to introduce you to increasing the size of your image

[orchid spruce]

OMG, SILKSONG IN A TIER, THIS DUDE IS THE GOAT

[broken seal]

i was looking through this and was thinking "wow this is A LOT of metroidvanias i'm seeing" and then i realized

[orchid spruce]

literally every metroidvania except silksong i've played is S

my rating is the same

[leaden delta]

literally

[light swan]

[broken seal]

Funny that there aren't any Metroid games in S tier for metroidvanias 💀

[versed pollen]

Oh hell no

[leaden delta]

I kinda wanna post my indie list again but nahhhh

[light swan]

i dont care about the rest of hte list i just see good games in S tier

[orchid spruce]

Noctis is in B tier

[versed pollen]

This might be the most uncomfortable method of information presentation in existence we gotta purge this tierlist from the internet in its entirety

[orchid spruce]

so ugh like very far away from your average S tier

[broken seal]

What about the tiers tier list tier list tier list tier list by that one tier list guy

[light swan]

to be fair his list is obviously subjective to his experience

[orchid spruce]

dude has Blasphemous 1 as top 6

[light swan]

laika is in D tier because of skill issue

[orchid spruce]

his opinions are no longer valid

[light swan]

and blasphemous in top 6 yea

[versed pollen]

The quality of this image is still static dawg this is cursed

[graceful oyster]

He put lone fungus in A tier

[orchid spruce]

unacceptable

[light swan]

all i care about is his top 3

[orchid spruce]

that's an easy S

[lucid trellis]

nobody thinks as metroid as a metroidvania ever since it went 3d

[orchid spruce]

he very clearly favors exploration/vibes tbf

[light swan]

well yea thats what metroidvanias are about :D

[lucid trellis]

it just seems like a normal game nkw

[orchid spruce]

no! it's about combat + exploration + story!!!

and NOT-miserable level design and enemies!

😠

[lucid trellis]

Name a 3D Metroidvania

[light swan]

pseudoregalia

[orchid spruce]

?

[lucid trellis]

Metroid + Castlevania

[light swan]

pseudo + regalia

[lucid trellis]

that's either an Australian animal or a medicine

[orchid spruce]

that's a game

[light swan]

or a 3d metroidvania

[leaden delta]

outer wilds

[orchid spruce]

heard it had peak parkouring but was really short

[light swan]

yea its really short

[orchid spruce]

here, we prefer bloated slops

[light swan]

i just realized this is inaccurate

[orchid spruce]

so no chance

[leaden delta]

its quite literally a metroidvania

[versed pollen]

Outer Wilds is actually a roguelite

[graceful oyster]

Illusion he put Laika aged through blood in D tier

[leaden delta]

soapee stop lying

[versed pollen]

What the deadname....

[light swan]

if you time attack a second time it creates 2 more slashes like that in front

[broken seal]

i love the limited 3d graphics they use. they're quite charming

[orchid spruce]

HE PUTS CONSTANCE IN B TIER

If this is B tier then Noctis must be TRASH

[light swan]

so its more like \\('_')

[orchid spruce]

Laika is officially three times as TRASh as CONSTANCE

[light swan]

#sk-discussion message

[orchid spruce]

I was wanting to check out Solateria as well

[light swan]

wtf does he mean afterimage is 50% bigger than hk

[main urchin]

B tier next to Axiom Verge

[light swan]

afterimage is like 300% bigger than hk

[orchid spruce]

man clearly has a bias

[main urchin]

Well it took me longer to beat than Afterimage :/

[lucid trellis]

so zelda is a metroidvania?

[versed pollen]

Yes

[light swan]

big map doesnt translate to longer game

silksong took me like 60 hours while afterimage took me 40

even tho afterimage is way bigger than silksong mapwise
