[orchid spruce]

[hybrid flare]

john fuck and jeanne new

fucksee and newass

[raven stream]

hmmm

[hybrid flare]

Im gonna platinum bloodborne

the night is indeed very fucking long

[open bane]

time for cursed ending

i was considering doing this in steelsoul, lmao

[hybrid flare]

What.

[timid sky]

Nice silksong update

We can finally fish mark

[hybrid flare]

Mark, i made a steak

[ocean quarry]

that's ultrakill's "- Removed Herobrine."

[hybrid flare]

No this is literally added herobrine

[orchid spruce]

Collect 10 fried fish, 10 grinded fish and 12 marinated fish!

[ocean quarry]

also why is flesh prison harder than minos prime

[hybrid flare]

true

ultrakill would be a 10/10 if not for flesh prisons

[tulip spire]

Ii

[trim estuary]

It’s not bro just parry it

[open bane]

cursed ending with 5 masks is a great idea, right

[rose flax]

who is a bigger hater, FS or Groal

[ocean quarry]

groal, duh

[open bane]

i died

[rose flax]

groal has his lore tablet expressing his complete and utter hate for the citadel, while FS gives us a move that literally has "rage" in it, and also didn't seem to be too happy with GMS when finding out her real origins

im trying to find atleast one character who can compete with groal's hate

[ocean quarry]

uh

green prince?

[rose flax]

how

[orchid spruce]

hornet

[crisp raft]

w nine sols mention

[rose flax]

ngl i dont think anyone CAN compete with groals hate

[orchid spruce]

hornet

[rose flax]

mf literally has corpses of citadel bugs tied up in his home

[crisp raft]

Actually, that is Yi, not Hornet

[rose flax]

how so

[open bane]

Hornets hate for flys

[rose flax]

i dont think she hates them enough to string up their corpses as examples

[ocean quarry]

that's just racism

[lusty grove]

Hating is their whole thing

[ocean quarry]

OH

[open bane]

she would if they didnt smell that bad

[ocean quarry]

bell hermit!

[rose flax]

why

[crisp raft]

bell hermit aint even do nothing

[ocean quarry]

groal's hate is focused

bell hermit hates everything

[surreal halo]

Gms?

[rose flax]

bro is genuinely the colonel H. stinkmeaner of silksong

[ocean quarry]

as confirmed by the game's fanon, we know that groal at the very least loves lugoli

[rose flax]

who does she hate

[ocean quarry]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

long list

[surreal halo]

Everything after hornet did her thing or something ^_^

[rose flax]

seems more like obsession to me

she wants to capture and bind all of the living weavers

[surreal halo]

Obsessive hate?

That she's stuck in the abyss going to die...

[ocean quarry]

does yarnaby qualify for that

[rose flax]

yarnaby is more obsessive hate than GMS

pissed at the bellhart bugs for saying her methods suck ass

and really wants to prove them wrong

GMS is just obsession

all higher being antagonists are guilty of obsession

[ocean quarry]

gms hates weavers (?)

[rose flax]

shes pissed at them for putting her to sleep and then fucking off

but obsessed with them enough to try to drag back every last one and absorb them

[orchid spruce]

doesn't she need them to awaken

[rose flax]

higher beings being weakened from not having enough followers has ended in obsession every time its happened (twice)

[exotic dome]

why does this game throws 1000 enemies at me now

[ocean quarry]

radiance is a whiny bitch tbh

[rose flax]

she was going to die 😭

[ocean quarry]

which game

[rose flax]

higher beings need followers to live

[rocky jolt]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1087207488274833550/1283204895968722964/attachment.gif

[exotic dome]

nine sols

[ocean quarry]

no she wasn't, what

[rose flax]

the radiance fell into so much obscurity that she was literally dying

[ocean quarry]

cuz it's a bad game

[rose flax]

the infection was a desperate and obsessive effort to regain her strength and followers

[ocean quarry]

hm

i simply disagree

[rose flax]

the radiance's obsession ended in the light, while GMS's ended in the haunting

[ocean quarry]

i like it more when i think of radiance as a whiny bitch that committed genocide cuz a newcomer had more friends than her

[rose flax]

not neccessarily genocide

[orchid spruce]

[rose flax]

just mass mind-control ending in death

[orchid spruce]

media literacy etc

[ocean quarry]

right, multiple genocides

[rose flax]

i wonder what did radiance's original subjects look like

before PK showed up

[bitter briar]

Moths

[rose flax]

but like did they have the orange eyes and stuff

[ocean quarry]

markoth didn't

thistlewind didn't

radiance herself doesn't

[open bane]

wait a sec

is the witch/cursed pogo fkn multihit or am i tripping

[rose flax]

then where does the orange shit from the infection come from

[ocean quarry]

it comes from the radiance

but she isn't infected herself

so no orange eyes

does the seer even have orange eyes?

[rose flax]

im just wondering did her original subjects along with the bugs of hallownest in general have kind of a calmer version of the infection since they werent resisting and it wasnt as forceful

[graceful oyster]

Because there's no turning back

[orchid spruce]

i'm doing blueslop with imperfect focus and normal build stuff

[rose flax]

the seer is alive while still under PK's influence

[orchid spruce]

this is more fun than hitless

[open bane]

CURSED ENDING DONE

[ocean quarry]

yes and no

yes as in it is literally two separate hits

no as in the total damage is the same as one regular strike and you can't miss the second hit if you hit the first one

[open bane]

HELL YEAH

[open bane]

ah i see

[rose flax]

i notice that when you hit non-infected enemies, they emit white particles, while infected enemies emit orange particles

the white can be interpreted as being under PK's influence and being sentient

cuz hornet has it, the mantis lords have it

who else has it tho

[graceful oyster]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/885988783525355582/1456963597493211166/QuickLittleVideoForPeopleComplainingAboutBackstep.mp4?ex=69e60596&is=69e4b416&hm=05933bd2d41d05d038d47574dce9ed6408a2e9012fb54a629806212caf62f2b5&
Can't miss the 2nd hit?

[open bane]

the pogo looks sick tho

[exotic dome]

act 3 gauntlets type shit

[ocean quarry]

ok but both of those pogos did the same total damage

[graceful oyster]

No the second one did less

[rose flax]

just karmelita being built different

dodging an undodgeable hit

[graceful oyster]

I can pay attention trust me

[ocean quarry]

how do you know

[errant sleet]

Does anybody else agree with me that the world of sk feels very linear in comparison with hollownest?

[ocean quarry]

wtf no

[rose flax]

no

[graceful oyster]

Because it hit one less time
And because I main witch
And I play with damage numbers

[open bane]

hk feels way more linear

[lusty grove]

The world as in the world building or the world as in the plot?

[graceful oyster]

Yes

[rose flax]

hallownest has really vague lore, pharloom is just easier to figure out

[errant sleet]

World building

[lusty grove]

Then no, Silksong's worldbuilding is just easier to understand

The timelines are equally convoluted tho

[ocean quarry]

that's what happens when your character can speak and is canonically both super powerful and super hot

[open bane]

just missing speed completion

[lusty grove]

...super hot?

[ocean quarry]

so more people tend to relay info to hornet

[rose flax]

im pretty convinced that hornet is canonically hot in bug standards

[ocean quarry]

kratt:

[odd hull]

Say that again..

[lusty grove]

Ah, yes, ofc, let's use the creep's taste in bugs to define what counts as standard beauty in the HK world

[errant sleet]

But ones you went through an aria you hardly revist it.

[lusty grove]

That's called the plot

World building is the lore

[errant sleet]

I find it boring

[normal bramble]

Same is true in HK

[graceful oyster]

What are you on about

Level design is not plot

[ocean quarry]

tfym "you hardly revisit it"

that's kinda on you

[normal bramble]

I genuinely never went back to any area in hk more then two/three times

[lusty grove]

Plot is what happens in game, lore is what happened before you started playing

[errant sleet]

There is always stuff locked behind abilities

[rose flax]

super

[normal bramble]

Ehhhh

[lusty grove]

Genuinely how

[errant sleet]

There is no reason to

[orchid spruce]

now i like blueslop better

[rose flax]

fym bro i'd tell TK anything

[orchid spruce]

these two are like the same atp

[rose flax]

chubby lil mf

[normal bramble]

I found monarch wings and crystal dash so quickly

[lusty grove]

Me too but still how did you not go back to at least Crossroads like 5 thousand times

[rose flax]

hornet canonically had several partners

[normal bramble]

Ok well crossroads is cheating

[odd hull]

https://tenor.com/view/super-hot-vr-game-gif-15704568

[normal bramble]

I went there mostly due to the charm lady

[errant sleet]

What?

[rose flax]

yes

[lavish apex]

crossroads and city you can go through a lot

[normal bramble]

Or to run through it for white flower which I failed like 3 times

[lusty grove]

She mentions it in the Great Conchfly journal entry

[lusty grove]

And Waterways, if you go to Godhome before killing every boss

[normal bramble]

Godhome was the last thing I found

[rose flax]

you get an immortal girlfriend, but she has to watch you die of old age

[graceful oyster]

I told you

[lusty grove]

Honestly I did all of the flower quest without even stepping onto Crossroads

[orchid spruce]

[normal bramble]

I was at uhh 106? % when I found godhome

Autocorrect is tweaking wow

[rose flax]

im never 112%ing HK

[lusty grove]

Legendary typo

[rose flax]

i dont have the masochism for godhome

[normal bramble]

I’m at 111% rn

[rose flax]

farthest ive made it is p3

[lusty grove]

You don't need p5 for 112%, you just need p4

[normal bramble]

P4 and P5 left

Albeit I started doing Pokémon shiny hunts so

[rose flax]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-gif-4594523742914133487

[normal bramble]

That’s gonna have to wait

[rose flax]

i am NOT fighting this fucker

[orchid spruce]

pure vessel

[lusty grove]

Easy af, no-hit'd this guy 5th try

A joke of a boss, I use it to test joke charm builds

[lethal mason]

whos harder NKG or karmelita

[rose flax]

NKG

[orchid spruce]

karm

[odd hull]

Karmelita

[rose flax]

i skipped nkg to play silksong and beat karmelita in one day

[orchid spruce]

nkg took me 20 minutes

[worldly umbra]

caramel is harder to eat than nkg

[rose flax]

i just recently beat NKG

[orchid spruce]

[odd hull]

NKG took me idk 3h, Karm 6h

[lethal mason]

oh

[lusty grove]

Skill issue

[lethal mason]

karms lowk whooping me rn

[lusty grove]

NKG 7th try, Karm like 3rd

[lethal mason]

im getign to her 3rd phase ez

[odd hull]

Yes, I'm bad at the game.

[rose flax]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-hk-mister-mushroom-mushroom-turn-gif-3210638192694703431

[orchid spruce]

have you tried egg before, sashimi

[lusty grove]

What's egg?

[summer sphinx]

Bought silksong on launch day and still never finished it 😔

[orchid spruce]

trashsols' final boss

[lusty grove]

Never played that

[odd hull]

Why

[orchid spruce]

[summer sphinx]

Call it a skill issue but I found it so difficult compared to hollow knight that I could genuinely have an easier time beating nkg than some parts of this game

I got to somewhere in act 2 and lost interest

[exotic dome]

finally got to the boss

i'll do it later tho i've been playing it for 4 hours

my brain cant handle this now

[orchid spruce]

good luck

[odd hull]

Happens

[bitter briar]

If silk is your song what’re you without it

[rose flax]

i wonder what hornet's favorite genre of music would be

i am very certain FS's would be some rebellious shit

[orchid spruce]

3 games in my backlog

[lusty grove]

The Hollow Knight

[worldly umbra]

polished it up

thinking i should add something in the middle put idk what i should put

prob wont put anything there tho

[exotic cedar]

What are they

[orchid spruce]

ori 2, grime, afterimage

[odd hull]

Have anyone here played Dust: An Elysian Tail?

[worldly umbra]

https://tenor.com/view/chat-dead-gif-21784038

[rose flax]

widow's theme makes me want to sob and scream uncontrollably

[orchid spruce]

damn i'm only liking blueslop more and more

i think blueslop is clearly better than sasuke

but i'm not a sucker for bosses with too many unique moves

[light swan]

the thing is that the reaction to sasuke’s moces are almost all the same

in my experience

||almost all of her attacks except for 1 in phase 1 it’s just “shairpin strust jump repeat”||

[orchid spruce]

yeah, but i like bosses with simple movesets with mixups

but as i learn blueslop more, i am liking it more

[light swan]

in phase 2 ||she gets 2 attacks where i parry and shairpin and theyre practically identical||

[rose flax]

hunter's march is one of my favorite areas

[light swan]

the problem isnt that it’s simple ots that it’s all the same to react to

[orchid spruce]

i'm using a normie build and seeing the goatedmove every time now

[rose flax]

ngl i wish the entire path to karmelita was in hunter's march

the music wouldve fit the place rather than far fields music

[light swan]

agree

[orchid spruce]

you'd complain about egg's moves only being responded by parry but i really enjoyed egg as well

[light swan]

yea, it’s clear i have a type/taste lol

[orchid spruce]

i still don't understand the ||throw hand then slam down|| move's timing

it's honestly confusing, the animation doesn't seem to match

[light swan]

MAJOR MIO SPOILERS DONT CLICK
this one?

[orchid spruce]

yeah

i wasn't hit when i ||stand in front of him|| then the parry stun makes me hit by ||his thrust||

[timid sky]

Same here

Literally never able to dodge it

[orchid spruce]

nine sols players encountering normal hitboxes:

yep, i did it. watching an example helped

[strange knot]

No cloak silk and soul

[light swan]

although, there’s still nuance

like when i have the time to go in and WF, when i can UC, the reactions to the tgrab atyack is also different

parry timings are different

[lusty grove]

Yall should I play Rainworld?

[light swan]

with sasuke its just the same loop

[lean pendant]

What if we made Zohran Mamdani the president of Pharloom?

[lusty grove]

Who?

[orchid spruce]

but the loop is fun

[lean pendant]

He's the mayor of New York City.

[light swan]

it is

[lusty grove]

Oh, US bs

[light swan]

that’s why i love sasuke so much

[orchid spruce]

i honestly think i would like string & violin much more if i could refight them

i literally only fought them twice

[graceful oyster]

The humble boss refight mod

[light swan]

but the existence of a loop still brings it down a tad bit

[orchid spruce]

that exists?

[graceful oyster]

I also have a save file with them on low gear

[graceful oyster]

It respawns them every time you rest at a checkpoint

But yeah

[orchid spruce]

does the mod work with r2modman

[light swan]

and i think the strailpin loop isnt even that much better than the kinetic thrust loop tbh

[graceful oyster]

It doesn't work on projekt or rambo

[orchid spruce]

rip

[lucid trellis]

give me a game reccomendation with a current steam price under $10 USD

[orchid spruce]

i wanna fight projekt again

[lusty grove]

Hornet vs the entire US army who would win

[graceful oyster]

No, Mio modding is all manual files

[light swan]

is afterimage still on sale

[orchid spruce]

🙁

[graceful oyster]

Well I also have a projekt save file on low gear

That I could send you

[orchid spruce]

don't recommend afterimage first, illu. you recommend peak first then afterimage

[orchid spruce]

sure, i'd love it thanks

[graceful oyster]

Dome Keeper

[light swan]

well no because that just starts with high expectations

[loud kite]

Daily dose of shrimp🫴 🍤

[orchid spruce]

oh true...

[graceful oyster]

YOMI hustle

[light swan]

afterimage was my 2nd ever metroidvania and i had low expectations for it

[lusty grove]

Which one should I play first: Rainworld, Mio, or Ori?

[lucid trellis]

give me a rundown on it

[light swan]

that led me to enjoy it more

[loud kite]

Also love your children

[graceful oyster]

If you 100% plan on playing all 3, do Ori first or else it'll be disappointing

[orchid spruce]

Ori 1 first. You won't want to finish Ori 1 after MIO, I think?

[lusty grove]

Undertale

[light swan]

metroidvania eith an insanely fucking big map, like double the size of silksong

[orchid spruce]

hivemind

[lusty grove]

Alright

[lucid trellis]

already have it

[light swan]

but mid bossfights and bad presentation of the story

[light swan]

the exploration is peak tho

[lusty grove]

Ok so I'll do Ori, then Mio, then Rainworld

[rose flax]

what do we think about scuttlebrace

[exotic cedar]

New character unlocked

[lusty grove]

Absolutely no practical use but extremely silly

[rose flax]

it can be useful

[lusty grove]

When? Like genuinely when

[lucid trellis]

ok, what the heck is rainworld

[orchid spruce]

yiquan is here

[rose flax]

dodges moss mother swoops, dodges trobbio tornado, if timed right can dodge many things

[orchid spruce]

survival + metroidvania-lite, from what i heard

[lucid trellis]

i wish it was good, but grip exists

[graceful oyster]

Insanely good game and there isn't really anything like it
It's hard

[graceful oyster]

It's not even close to a mvania

[lusty grove]

The slug cat game with a functional ecosystem

[orchid spruce]

[rose flax]

scuttlebrace shrinks but widens ur hitbox alot

[lucid trellis]

were silksong players, we like hard games

[graceful oyster]

It has platforms, that's about it

[rose flax]

so like u can dodge alot of horizontal attacks

[orchid spruce]

i swear steam tags slugcat as metroidvania

[rose flax]

scuttlebrace can also dodge two of karmelita's attacks

[graceful oyster]

If anyone tags it like that it's people who call anything with 2D platforms a mvania

[rose flax]

actually more than two

[lusty grove]

Super Mario Bros is a metroidvania

[graceful oyster]

Apparently

[lusty grove]

Metroidvania alignment chart

[rose flax]

anyways time for daily karmelita glaze

this mf sings, yells, and fights you at the same time

WITH HER EYES CLOSED

also probably the strongest mortal bug known of rn

[lucid trellis]

OOT is a metroidvania

[lusty grove]

Lawful Good - Metroid is a metroidvania
Lawful Neutral - Hollow Knight is a metroidvania
Lawful Evil - Rainworld is a metroidvania
Chaotic Evil - Super Mario Bros is a metroidvania

[orchid spruce]

i think blueslop is another case of being S tier only once i'm good at it

[graceful oyster]

Pale King

[rose flax]

thats a god bro

[orchid spruce]

i honestly wouldn't enjoy fudie as much if i wasn't good at it

[lucid trellis]

Chaotic Neutral: Ocarina of time is a metroidvania

[orchid spruce]

i'll grind this boss to death

[lusty grove]

Hornet is right there

[graceful oyster]

Mortal
Dies

[rose flax]

higher beings can die

[lusty grove]

Also she's just as strong as Green Prince

[rose flax]

especially when void is involved

[lusty grove]

Gods die all the time

[orchid spruce]

oh about the refight mod thing, does it use bepinex

[rose flax]

hornet is half-god

[graceful oyster]

Then they're mortal

[graceful oyster]

Typically they get killed, they don't just slump over and die

[lusty grove]

Yup. I think

[rose flax]

PK died from void exposure

[rocky jolt]

gubby this gubby that

[rose flax]

most higher beings seem to be very weak to the void

[orchid spruce]

i mean for MIO, not Silksong

[lusty grove]

Unn is dying of natural causes

[graceful oyster]

No, it's all like .dll files

[lusty grove]

Oh then idk

[rose flax]

when did unn ever die

[rocky jolt]

i heard somewhere that the void inside the knight is what awoke unn

[lusty grove]

She IS DYING

[orchid spruce]

it's in the dc server?

[graceful oyster]

If you look at the modding resources in MIO there's instructions on how to get the modding set up

[rose flax]

where does it say this

[errant ingot]

he did? i thought he just died of death in his own dream

[lusty grove]

Her power is diminishing

Godseeker says it, and I think there's a lore tablet about it

[rose flax]

higher beings often tend to die either from falling into obscurity or the void

[graceful oyster]

The set up really sucks but after that it's just downloading a dll and plopping it in your mod folder

[lusty grove]

All confirmed Higher Being deaths have been Void

[rose flax]

radiance ALMOST died from obscurity

i think unn is dying of obscurity

[lusty grove]

Yeah true

Also, I just remembered, GMS can die from being bound by Hornet or turned into Greyroot

[orchid spruce]

aw... okie dokie

i'll stick with blueslop for now

[lusty grove]

Void kills 4/5 out of 6 Higher Beings

[graceful oyster]

When I get home I have some easy steps and a zipped folder of modding files that makes the process really easy if you want

[lusty grove]

I mean, if we count the Vessels it's a lot more

Like 1000005 out of 1000006

[orchid spruce]

that'd really help, thanks a ton

[errant ingot]

which ones havent died of void? you mean gms and unn?

[graceful oyster]

Actually I can just forward every message I sent to Starpengu

[orchid spruce]

[rose flax]

count the vessels original bodies dying and becoming vessels?

[rose flax]

if you really think about it GMS never dies of void in any ending

in act 3 she died from giving the last of the silk making up her body to hornet

[sharp slate]

to be fair GMS was kinda dead to the void no matter what, it was just a matter of time

[lusty grove]

Yeah

[lusty grove]

...true

[sharp slate]

its like would i rather shoot myself or die from getting stabbed

[lusty grove]

Void kills 4 out of 6 higher beings

[rose flax]

void seems to be a kryptonite for all non-void related higher beings

[strange knot]

Do you need 2 couriers saved for couriers rasher

[rose flax]

unless theres a lifeblood higher being

[strange knot]

Or only 1

[rose flax]

some say lifeblood and void have a mutual relationship

[sharp slate]

i think you need both

[errant ingot]

you havent saved the second one?

[strange knot]

Fuck my life

[lusty grove]

Lifeblood seems to get stronger with Void

[errant ingot]

bro hes not even hard to find 😭

[rose flax]

there are no black threaded enemies in wormways which is weird

[strange knot]

I’m making my 100% route and I wanted to save 2nd courier during the rasher

[lusty grove]

The Knight becomes stronger with Lifeblood, Wormways becomes Plasmified in Act 3 only

[sharp slate]

wiki info intresting you need to trigger food quest first, makes sense though i guess

[errant ingot]

oh ok

[lusty grove]

And the Abyss Creature is Lifeblood related

[lusty grove]

Probably Plasmification overrides the Haunting

[strange knot]

Can you enter sinners road through bilewater?

[lusty grove]

Without the Haunting, they can't get black threaded

[rose flax]

its also strange that lifeblood, and the void which literally attacks all life, seem to be related

[sharp slate]

yea this makes sense to me

[sharp slate]

let me check real quick'

[rose flax]

where are we entering bilewater from

[strange knot]

Whisp vaults

[rose flax]

then yes

if you keep going down youll get to sinners road

[sharp slate]

you break in through the right side right?

[rose flax]

whisp vaults entrance is at the top of bilewater

[lusty grove]

Lifeblood is terrifying

[orchid spruce]

[lusty grove]

Nah, the left side

[sharp slate]

yea but we are talking bilewater to sinners road

[strange knot]

Pretty sure yeah

[rose flax]

the person asking said hes entering bilewater from whispering vaults

[lusty grove]

Since HK1 I had a weird feeling about Lifeblood

[rose flax]

and asking if he can get to sinners road from that entrance

[lusty grove]

It's beautiful in a horrifying way

[rose flax]

makes me see blue child joni in a different light

who tf really was she

[lusty grove]

Or horrifying in a beautiful way

I genuinely can't tell

[strange knot]

Joni is cool I always found them really interesting

[orchid spruce]

i wish blueslop had less downtime

[lusty grove]

She was probably a cultist, considering the new context

[rose flax]

why does this literal child seem to be completely intact as a peaceful corpse when we've seen a lifeblood infected individual

[sharp slate]

I honestly hope we get a lot of lifeblood stuff in sea of sorrow, defintely one of my favorite visual effects/art in the game

[broken seal]

we will

[sharp slate]

I mean at least a sizable amount, i know there will be some but we dont know how much

[lusty grove]

She is infected. Her entire blood is now Lifeblood. She just probably has a connection directly with the Dream form of Lifeblood, skipping the "weird vines and butterflies" part

[rose flax]

imagine a lifeblood outbreak instead of the radiance in hk

i cant tell whether that means the vessels wouldve been more or less effective

[lusty grove]

Probably more

Void and Lifeblood seem to go well together

[rose flax]

cuz they can safely absorb lifeblood and walk around like its completely fine

[lusty grove]

...which could be bad tho

[lusty grove]

Yeah but Lifeblood is stronger with Void

[rose flax]

only hornet seems to have problems with having lifeblood in her system cuz of the missing void component

[lusty grove]

I guess nothing can truly contain Lifeblood

The best you can do is kill the cocoons

[sharp slate]

im confused which aspects we have seen of lifeblood and void working together

what are you referencing?

[broken seal]

The Knight definitely can lol

[rose flax]

wormways has its outbreak in act 3

[sharp slate]

yea but those enemies arent void haunted

[lusty grove]

The Knight only gets upsides from Lifeblood, The Abyss Creature lives in the Abyss and is related to Lifeblood, Wormways gets Plasmified in Act 3

[broken seal]

that's not shown to be related to the Void, as none of the enemies Black Threaded

[rose flax]

when the void happens to seep up into pharloom, lifeblood happens to go rampnat at the sam time

also the hidden void/lifeblood creature in the abyss

[lusty grove]

I think trying to contain Lifeblood in a Void vessel would only make it stronger

[rose flax]

and the fact that TK can safely absorb lifeblood with no seemingly negative effects, but hornet doesnt seem to like it very much

[sharp slate]

I always thought of it being sealed away almost is what the door represents, but the knight only getting the benefits does make sense i guess and no downsides

i was going to say it was due to the charms but the knight does interact directly with lifeblood cocoons, which is safe to be assumed to be pure lifeblood

[broken seal]

i mean it never gets any negative effects, no matter how much you give it. There isn't anything to really suggest that Lifeblood would be able to beat out Void or that Void couldn't contain it.

[lusty grove]

No, I mean, the Vessel would survive, but the Lifeblood would only get stronger

[rose flax]

if there was a lifeblood outbreakk instead of the radiance throwing a tantrum, THK would probably be able to walk around normally while containing the infection

[broken seal]

Sure, Lifeblood goes crazy in Act 3, but the enemies throughout Pharloom aren't inflicted with just Void, they're still haunted but with Black Threading

[lusty grove]

It wouldn't be contained, it'd just get stronger

[rose flax]

void is still a major component in black threading as seen by how they lose their color and are described to be "hollowed out"

[broken seal]

ofc but it isn't pure void is what i mean

[sharp slate]

i think there is an argument that the lifeblood spreads in act 3 not due to void, but due to professors experimentations, obviously that may not be true either, we dont got much evidence

[lusty grove]

Void appearing in Pharloom made Wormways get Plasmified

[lusty grove]

It's a combination of both

[timber aurora]

Guys can anyone buy me a pc

[sharp slate]

wormways enemies are haunted pre-void as well which is intresting, so its almost as the lifeblood overrides the void when it arrives

[rose flax]

i wonder what lifeblood tastes like

[sharp slate]

time to shovel some snow, i wish you the best of luck

[broken seal]

I mean the area was already in the process of being plasmified, and we have no idea how much time passes throughout Silksong. Even if we just play through a segment in a few hours, the "real" time could be weeks or months

[timber aurora]

Thank you

[sharp slate]

blueberry

[rose flax]

ngl plasmified broken vessel would be living hell

if its true that lifeblood makes void stronger

[sharp slate]

There is the question... what exactly is going to happen to pharloom post act 3 with the lifeblood

[broken seal]

Blue 1 food dye

[sharp slate]

like all good the haunting void is gone... welll life bloood infection time

like pharloom is still beyond fucked

[rocky jolt]

we open the lifeblood market

[rose flax]

the real reason why all HK games have some kind of infection or mind control:

if it werent for that, all bugs would be docile and friendly

not enough enemies

[broken seal]

It's still contained within the Wormways, there's absolutely nothing to suggest it would spread throughout the rest of Pharloom, with or without void influences

[wispy dragon]

I just beat first sinner and oh ma gawd it was so peak what the hell

[rose flax]

grimm rubbing his hands together hungrily rn

[sharp slate]

I just don't see why it couldn't spread either farther

[rose flax]

did u see the post-fight segment yet

[sharp slate]

no doubt pilgrims could stumble upon it

and thus spread lifeblood infection further themselves

[wispy dragon]

Yeh the small cutscene thingy with the evolutions of weaver?

[broken seal]

they would need to willingly inject it into themselves repeatedly

[sharp slate]

A really fun fight, so face paced

[broken seal]

It's not like something with Lifeblood will give something else Lifeblood

[wispy dragon]

Real
Clawline carried half of the fight

[rocky jolt]

yall eat up anything fast paced

[sharp slate]

Fair, but we seen how it was taboo in hk, which meant people did williningly do it at some point (most likely) and how we see joni

[rose flax]

from how i see it, the void presence gave lifeblood the abilty to forcefully infect bugs without injection

without the void, they go back to needing to inject lifeblood into themselves to actually get infected

[sharp slate]

yea fast paced, fair attacks, keeps you moving, good mix ups

[rocky jolt]

yall eat up anything that tastes good

[broken seal]

it spread so much in the wormways because wannabe walter white injected it and synthesized more of it in the ecosystem

into like everything

[fiery burrow]

ChatGPT generate me an indie fastpaced roguelite movement shooter

[rose flax]

i doubt he injected all of the worms with it too, just the plants n shit that wouldnt try to kill him

[broken seal]

but even then it never goes outside of the Wormways

[vale whale]

ew first sinner glaze

[sharp slate]

its likely that he started the infection and the worms tbh just fucking ate anything

[vale whale]

man i hate how i hate everything that people talk about here

[sharp slate]

even if he injected a few creatures, i doubt those worms are picky what they eat

[vale whale]

mio and first sinner and karmelita have to be some of thd main topics here

[broken seal]

Right, and because they dig around so much and probably use that as their food, that's why they got plasmified. But they didn't spread it to other things.

[rose flax]

She called us daughters...
She called us divine...
SHE LIED.

[broken seal]

A worm eating another worm isn't gonna give that other worm plasmium

[rocky jolt]

daring today are we

[rose flax]

i thought i was the only person who glazed the weavers fym

[vale whale]

wouldnt it

[broken seal]

I mean no not really

[errant ingot]

you forgot nine sols

[vale whale]

the plasmium is in the food the worm eats the food

[vale whale]

nine sols is good though

[sharp slate]

im opening up silksong i want to take a look at wormways area

im actually curious more about background and what it looks like

[broken seal]

Plasmium isn't just some disease that you get infected with and spread to things you come into contact with

[errant ingot]

never played it nor mio so i just leave most times

[vale whale]

you would be ingesting it if you ate something with it inside

[sharp slate]

i assume its through consumption as well though

wasnt that implied in hk i thought maybe im misremebering

[vale whale]

usually ingesting a weird virus blob thing makes you ill

[broken seal]

I was saying the plasmified worm eating a non-plasmified worm, not the other way around

[vale whale]

ohhhhh yeah

mb i misunderstood

[sharp slate]

oh im saying the reverse

[broken seal]

If a plasmified worm ate or attacked or bit or whatever another worm it wouldn't spread

[sharp slate]

non-plasma worm taking a bit out of a plasma creature

[broken seal]

And we never see non-plasmified worms attacking or eating these other creatures at any point

And even then it would need to be a large enough dosage or a repeated dosage over a short period of time to get to the later stages of plasmification

[sharp slate]

yea but its a safe assumption i think that they need to consume food and they consumed something infected with lifeblood

[vale whale]

but yeah we can sort of infer plasmium spreads through ingestion since you get its effects by drinking it up or plugging it into your system directly and when you drink it up or plug it into your system directly too much you overdose (with the sole exception of the knight of course) and if you arent a demigod and you overdose you probably plasmify

[rose flax]

why is widow the only weaver with arms

[broken seal]

which would have likely been micro-organisms in the dirt

[rocky jolt]

IDK BRO go ask her

[rose flax]

shes too dead

[sharp slate]

im curious what she is implying with this tbh about the plasmidas

where is she implying? for home caves

[rose flax]

widow wouldnt been hell if she was allowed to use her silk

[vale whale]

idk she lived in white palace

[rocky jolt]

deepnest

[vale whale]

maybe she means hallownest as a whole

[rose flax]

not only does she actually have arms, but a massive presence of silk already in the area along with being able to use her own

[vale whale]

her home was the white palace im pretty sure she omly stayed in deepnest until herrah went to sleep

[broken seal]

Because of mr. white's experiments, plasmium is coursing throughout the ecosystem, and the worms we see dig through are clearly consuming soil like real worms, which is probably how they get nutrients and were exposed to plasmium. I doubt it had anything to do with a non-plasmified worm biting or eating a plasmified one or one that had plasmium.

[sharp slate]

im thinking so, but its weird because we dont really the records of life blood creatures existing really in hollownest besides abyss joni

[broken seal]

Deepnest/Hallownest in general

[vale whale]

well yeah for a reason probably

[broken seal]

she's also old asf so it's not like remnants would necessarily survive the collapse of the kingdom

[vale whale]

it was bad and caused what hornet is talkiny about so pk likely outlawed it/made it taboo and had the lifeblood druggies exiled

barring joni for some reason

[broken seal]

and it was probably on a smaller scale, i imagine lifeblood shenanigans were shut down quick by PK and other rulers

[vale whale]

idk but chances are lifeblood had its fair share of influence in hallownest before the downfall

[sharp slate]

yea but i assumed lifeblood would be gone by time hornet was born

becasue the pale king cracked down on that shit

maybe it took him longer than i thought to get a handle on it though

[vale whale]

thats speculation moreso

easier to say it only became a bigger problem around then

[broken seal]

Or it took longer to begin as an issue in the first place

[normal bramble]

Currently working on the lava escape

It's making me mad

[sharp slate]

I guess once pale king gave them higher thought it became a problem

[unkempt steeple]

When are they deleting the game

[sharp slate]

we do see them lifeblood getting close to leaving wormways tbh

[vale whale]

people struggle with abyss escape?

[sharp slate]

it would be cool to see a mod for lifeblood takeover of pharloom, a big project but really cool

[normal bramble]

I do sadly

[unkempt steeple]

So sad it couldn't reach bone bottom before the pilgrims fled

[rose flax]

just turn up the music

it'll make you lock in so fast

[vale whale]

my favourite part was the end when hornet makes it out but the floor cracks and she falls back into the abyss weakened and you have to stealth to the ruinz of weavenest absolum and regain your strength

[normal bramble]

The music is such a bop

[normal bramble]

WHAT

[vale whale]

im good at mgs so the stealth was aight

[rose flax]

bad writing ngl, its just a deepnest copy

[vale whale]

deepnest had NO stealth

[rose flax]

but when you escape you fall back in

[vale whale]

yeah she walks around with her needle wedged in her head

[normal bramble]

Bye 😭

[graceful oyster]

A copy of Deepnest is a good region

[vale whale]

oh fair

[sharp slate]

i did notice how regular enemies are lifeblood infected in wormways though

bell throwing pilgrims

sad, who wouldn't have wanted plasma bell throwing pilgrims

[rose flax]

wait WHAT?

[sharp slate]

sounds amazing

[rose flax]

they ARE or ARENT lifeblood infected?

[sharp slate]

pilgrims ARE NOT life blood infected

and it guess only half the worm ways is infected as well because dead bugs purse room isnt infected

[slender juniper]

It does

[rose flax]

what would a conductor's crest be like

[slender juniper]

Lifeblood does leave wormways look below in bone grave

[slender juniper]

Shit,

It would be shit

[rose flax]

but like what if it allows u to have infinite cogflies

like those enemies in the high halls gauntlet

[slender juniper]

Those are not conductors

[rose flax]

but theyre heavily conductor-related

[vale whale]

would durability scale with silk or something

[slender juniper]

You'd get a large fattas hitbox

Just like conductors

[rose flax]

hornet gets overweight when equipping conductors crest

[vale whale]

do you become a primal beastfly when using beast

[slender juniper]

Yes

[rose flax]

too many silkeaters

there is no one to rule pharloom so plasmium takes over and we fight plasmified lace

[lament vessel]

My goat pilby scared it off

[quartz cave]

yeah no i need to redo his personality

[vale whale]

hornet has to go to the void and inform the knight and then face the source of the infection and the knight swoops in at the end for the kill

[rose flax]

ngl i cant find any leitmotifs in lost lace

[unkempt steeple]

It would probably help with conducting

[vale whale]

void trumps all

[rose flax]

it doesnt sound related to lace's original theme at all

[vale whale]

isnt that the point

[rocky jolt]

i think lifeblood/plasmium is alot more interesting than void the haunting or the infection

[quartz cave]

homiisexuality

[rose flax]

it would make more sense if lace died at the end

[lament vessel]

Gay people thumbs up

[nova wolf]

Is there a substance abuse trait in that game?

[vale whale]

true

[nova wolf]

Make him overdose on fentanyl

[quartz cave]

i can make vicodin a food item and only feed him that

[rose flax]

cuz like the fact that there's not a trace of lace's theme in lost lace implies that she's truly gone, which she isn't

scuttlebrace and pollip pouch only give you aura points

wtf is that game

eat 1000 cherries

honestly wish we still had sk-discussion2

it was mostly quiet, but at least i could go there to talk about silksong stuff instead of being spoiled on other games because people are illiterate

[rose flax]

TK becomes god in hollow knight act 5 where it goes to pharloom

[sharp slate]

cant wait to play as the knight in skong it will be great

[rose flax]

imagine getting to spar with the knight in act 4

what if its like fighting another player

[raven stream]

man i bet some of yalls breath smells like 10 pounds of bounce that ass

[rose flax]

no teleporting bullshit like shakra but minimally telegraphed attacks and soul healing attempts

that would suck

every time shakra is mentioned i have trauma from hitless

i need to finish my steel soul cursed crest playthrough

[rose flax]

bell beasts theme is so fire for a character with only 2 scenes

[exotic cedar]

Wtf

[brave geyser]

I need to make one bad

[sharp slate]

im running out of challenges 😭

[iron trellis]

if it wasnt for fractured mask steel soul would be so much worse for me

[brave geyser]

Wait can you maybe quite possibly hand me a cursed crest file with bell beast killed

[sharp slate]

yea i had fractured mask on basically whole time, injector band and multi as well

[brave geyser]

pls I need it it's my favourite crest

[vague ice]

Bruh I didn't even manage to get umbrella on my best steal soul 😭

[quartz cave]

WHY DO THEY KEEP BRINGING IT UP IT HAPPENED A WEEK AGO

[brave geyser]

Who the fuck is umberalla 😭

Oh drifter's

[vague ice]

Yeah I forgor what it's called

[rose flax]

ngl probably because it is the only character who is completely impervious to hornet's attempts at damage, and is tied up in GMS's silk instead of haunted

[sharp slate]

i have never heard drifters called umbrella but i find it really funny xD

[iron trellis]

this is silksong discussion

[rose flax]

bell beast is built different

[exotic cedar]

New challenge idea: cursed crest glass soul upside down while bungee jumping irl

[rose flax]

too easy

[brave geyser]

Actual lightwork
Maybe throw in no upgrades too

[rose flax]

cursed crest glass soul upside down while skydiving irl, you have to complete the run before you open your parachute

[sharp slate]

you should do double enemies steel soul, i need to find someone i can drag into doing this

[exotic cedar]

That sounds scary

[orchid spruce]

so double bell eater?

[exotic cedar]

Maybe you could make a normal save and practice in it til you get consistent

[brave geyser]

If i manage to get that mod to work 100%

[sharp slate]

just a little, once you beat double enemies once though its easy surely

[unkempt steeple]

the lace skin mod gives her an ummbrella since she has no cloak, pretty cool imo

[brave geyser]

Cue sting shards bombs

[unkempt steeple]

I love how lace is a very feminine and delicate characrer while still having a brawler fighting style

[sharp slate]

i think last judge double killed me the most in double enemies SS

[vague ice]

It is an umbrella tho kinda. At least umbrella shaped

[sharp slate]

The void ant arena killed me once as well, i was PISSED

[exotic cedar]

I also kinda stopped playing silksong, i started ultrakill and im kinda addicted

[brave geyser]

Have you beat it though

[orchid spruce]

her combat style isn't brawling it's just elegant sword fighting or something

[sharp slate]

yep!

[lavish apex]

double enemies steel soul

[brave geyser]

Was it fun

[lavish apex]

psychotic

[exotic cedar]

Well a 1-2 month ago atleast

[lavish apex]

or wait does that just stand for silksong

[sharp slate]

it was actually pretty fun, though i did it after attempt triple/quad enemies (which i didnt complete got stuck on LL)

steel soul

im lazy i didnt want to type out steel soul

[exotic cedar]

Its still impressive to get that far though

[unkempt steeple]

she's still a very physical character with her kicks and stuff, she only gets any kind of range when she gets voided and even then void isn't exacly feminine

[brave geyser]

God i hope i get the double enemies mod to work this time

[sharp slate]

i might fire up skong and try triple LL again surely i got enough skill now to do it

[lavish apex]

triple ll just sounds awful

[orchid spruce]

i guess my idea of feminine things just are more broad

[sharp slate]

fuck we ball i was trying to figure out what to play lets go for it

[iron trellis]

i dont remember this being here

[rose flax]

you arent a real skonger if you cant beat steel soul with a single mask, no silk, cursed crest, no benches, and no upgrades, while in a aerial dogfight IRL and you have to complete the run before you leave the aircraft

[sharp slate]

double is fun, triple is VERY hectic but kinda fun

[quartz cave]

@runic atlas

[unkempt steeple]

"you aren't a real skonger if you can't beat the game on easy mode"

Eh gender is a social construct anyways so it's all subjective, but this discussion doesn't belong in this channel

[sharp slate]

i didnt even have cross stitch for triple LL funny enough

[quartz cave]

Thats the personality chart thingy

[sharp slate]

triple phantom is actually hell

third phase just deletes you

actually now that i think about it if i went back to it with life blood....

[vague ice]

Triple doesn't sound possible to beat

[orchid spruce]

how does one enjoy silksong this much

[rose flax]

you arent a real skonger if you cant achieve sister of the void ending without any inputs

[sharp slate]

best mechanics for combat of any 2d game i played

[unkempt steeple]

you aren't a real skonger if you play the game, you should still be coping that it'll come out

[sharp slate]

no, a real skonger would still be playing hollow knight with no knowledge of silksong at all

[orchid spruce]

i don't like silksong's combat balancing

[vague ice]

I absolutely adored the combat in Silksong and I would call it the second best out of any game I've played, Ninesols combat hits different tho

[unkempt steeple]

what's a silksong

[orchid spruce]

but there are things i like about it, such as clawline

mostly clawline

[rose flax]

idk bruh, i finally beat nkg tho

[teal ridge]

then i dont like you throw

[sharp slate]

combat can be dumb af if you do redtool spam from architect but you just dont do that and its fun

[quartz cave]

Beatie i literally JUST closed the game as i heard the ping 💔

I need to prepare im going to the move ies

additionally challenges like pan of pharlooom prevent the tool spam thanfully

itd be cool if we could fight that secret weaver dude in the weavers' den

jokes aside i wonder if there are any male part-weavers

or do weaver genes just automatically make any child born female

[teal ridge]

i think not. if there was a male weaver they could reproduce

which maybe they do

there are a lot of smaller weavers in hollow knight 1

[rose flax]

but they have to find a male other bug to make a male part-weaver in the first place

[teal ridge]

the ones in the deepnest

you can

you need to achieve some numbers of messages

[rose flax]

witch crest literally turns hornet into a fucking anime character

[heady iron]

She already was one

[teal ridge]

being a weaver might be cool. you can make stuff with silk you produce

[rose flax]

you can also scuttle around at mach fuck to dodge shit

[queen dust]

Which i should've already achieved, i've been here since 2021 and have over a thousand messages here

[orchid spruce]

witch crest honestly didn't elevate my opinions on silksong combat that much (it's still really good). it's just that it's just one crest and honestly feels like an accidental creation.

[light swan]

imaginary technique: hollow witch bind :D

[teal ridge]

i suggest messaging moderators

[queen dust]

Is this a newly implemented system?

[orchid spruce]

i just want red tools to be nuked

[teal ridge]

i have no idea

[queen dust]

I saw i had to get new roles as well

[light swan]

so what would you think if the other 6 crests were removed

[orchid spruce]

silksong'd be trash

sorry

[rose flax]

why

[light swan]

idk if it’s an accidental creation with how everything everytbing perfectly balances together

like, everytbing feels so intentionally designed

[teal ridge]

i didnt used witch crest other than the twisted child ending

[light swan]

missing out on so muc

[rose flax]

witch crest was my console main, hunter crest is my pc main

[light swan]

it’s beautiful

[teal ridge]

my main exploring crest is reapers crest. my combat crests are wanderer, reaper and hunters

i used others rarely

[unkempt steeple]

do y'all prefer the dash nail art or silksong's sprint attacks

[light swan]

sprint attacks by far

[rose flax]

sprint attacks

i dont remember using sprint attacks. why im so ignorant

[rose flax]

sprint attack + hunter pogo is pure dopamine

[unkempt steeple]

I love wanderer/hunter's sprint attacks bc they throw you back like clawline and you can pogo back into the enemy afterwards

[lavish apex]

what about the awful normals

outside of the pogo

[sage pewter]

Wanderer sprint attack automatically pogos you if you hold attack I think

[teal ridge]

pogo is the best attack

[rose flax]

then if you time it right you can get a third attack in with actual pogo

[light swan]

thats part of why i think it’s so well designed

compensating normals for dash attacks and pogos feels like such an intentional decision

that just adds to witch’s unique identity

[manic knoll]

Hi guys

[orchid spruce]

this is irrelevant for 99.9% of players anyways tbh

[rose flax]

disrespect to such an honorable opponent

[orchid spruce]

i'm honestly a decent sk player and still never do these

[light swan]

but it still exists and it’s something i need to acknowledge as a person who plays at an advanced level

i know witch crest isnt for everyone and thats fine because of how playstyle works

[orchid spruce]

[manic knoll]

Hi people

[light swan]

but i think it’s still fine to acknowledge it even if you don’t personally like it

[rose flax]

the choir is so good

[teal ridge]

im sorry i didnt wanted to disrespect

[orchid spruce]

yues

[light swan]

same way i acknowledge that eggnog is the best bossfight in all of gaming by far even tho i dont personally vibe with it

[rose flax]

tf is eggnog

[orchid spruce]

a drink

[lavish apex]

all of gaming is a pretty lofty claim

[orchid spruce]

probably not in all of gaming but probably top 10 at least

[sharp slate]

basically a trade off, i will never use witch due to the bad normal, but i understand its usage xD

[minor plank]

I’ve been thinking about it and I really want a prequel game as the pale king and we see hallownest in its prime

How cool would that be

[sharp slate]

i honestly am impressed how they did balancing so well in skong tbh

i have up on triple LL after a half an hour btw fuck that shit

maybe another day...

[graceful oyster]

True we all know the best bossfight is the ender dragon

(I did see the ender dragon very highly rated on a "best bosses of all time" list)

So it was written by an idiot

[sharp slate]

i honestly dont think i could even pick a best boss among my set of games

especially since i probably have multiple best bosses based on either narrative vs mechanics

[rose flax]

one of my favorite bosses is doomsday zone from sonic 3 & knuckles

[sharp slate]

defintely not the same boss

[lucid kindle]

when is sea of sorrow

[sharp slate]

though honestly the games i have the most time in probably will have my best boss opinions hk and skong

[rose flax]

another is absolute radiance even though i never fought her

[lavish apex]

the ender dragon is probably in like the bottom 1/3rd of every boss in any game ever

[sharp slate]

when you complete other 25% SK it releases

[lucid kindle]

same

[rose flax]

its the music fading out during the final climb that gets me

like even the game is going "yo dont fuck this up"

[lucid kindle]

i hate that

[sharp slate]

final climb is such a good part of radiance fight

[orchid spruce]

you could even say it's pretty rad

[rose flax]

i personally think it would put me in a deeper state of focus

[sharp slate]

its so sad that phase 1 of radiance is MEH, i guess its a teaching phase for the moveset

[lavish apex]

i like phase 1

[sharp slate]

i see its purpose, but its boring on replay of it

[lavish apex]

idk i find it fun

[rose flax]

in DNM the siblings pulling up hits hard

[lavish apex]

but it's better in absrad

[sharp slate]

thats fair to each their own

[lucid kindle]

thats where i died on my 5th all bindings p5 run

[sharp slate]

you think with my trauma from speedrunning i would still hate plats phase but its so good i cant hate it

so close to that WR...

[sharp slate]

ow, thats rough

[stiff vapor]

Damn

[orchid spruce]

i got rickrolled twice

anyways, you speedrun?

[sharp slate]

ik that the climb is what makes the fight unique but i crave some of that for skong

[lucid kindle]

now i havent played hk in a while and can only do abs rad on ascended

[sharp slate]

used to a long time ago, dont have the time anymore for it, p5/p4

[lucid kindle]

im so cooked, i wanna get back to being pro

[orchid spruce]

ah ok you speedrun pantheon

[fiery burrow]

Climb is so good

Really feels like you're cornering Rad

[stiff vapor]

Pantheon was lowk ez

[fiery burrow]

Also its like pretty fun outside of spectacle

[orchid spruce]

HK had more narrative incorperated into gameplay

[sharp slate]

yea, when i started speedrunning pantheon it was such a peak time, only one other person was using fury (they were number 8) on the leaderboard, it was such a good time to get into it

[orchid spruce]

nice

[sharp slate]

defintely

looking back after knowing the lore THK is such a well designed fight, for music/lore/ it stabbing itself, so cool to see that in a mechanic way

[lucid kindle]

guys be honest which game is more cinema? hungry knight, hk, or sk? (we all saying Hungry knight)

[orchid spruce]

yeah, honestly part of why LL felt lackluster. the ending of GMS giving silk was strong at least.

[lucid kindle]

the cooler thing is after almost a year of playing i just realized thk only had 1 arm

[orchid spruce]

i loved thk fight

not the bossfight itself, just how it's presented

[sharp slate]

i honestly didnt realize that for way to long lol, my brain never registered it

[fiery burrow]

Its pretty fun as a boss too ngl

[rose flax]

i like watching other people react to games, and it pmo so bad when they just straight up fail to notice THK stabbing itself, or curling up in an attempt to contain the radiance when it's near death

[orchid spruce]

i just facetanked the thk to get to radiance

i just said the the hollow knight

[sharp slate]

yea defintely when you get full gear (or even close to full) THK is a joke, my first fight with them was pretty low gear, so it was a tough and fun fight, but after that steam roll

[rose flax]

i watched a streamer who's comment section taught him how to facetank everything apparently, and he was so busy doing that, that he didnt even notice THK stabbing itself and also acidentally got sealed siblings 😭

[lucid kindle]

gn yall

[orchid spruce]

hk was my first metroidvania so i wasn't aware of true endings and stuff. i was shocked thk was so easy. found out about radiance later.
