[uneven tendon]

Top left underworks?

[delicate sun]

It does

[halcyon plover]

Does parrying cause damage?

[unkempt steeple]

nah

[toxic vigil]

Hello

[unkempt steeple]

hi

[toxic vigil]

No more crest talk yay

[halcyon plover]

Probably the strongest mortal bug ever, singing and soloing everyone

[severe cosmos]

FINALLY

time to really go exploring

im tired

i really liked how they introduced the clawline

[unkempt steeple]

I kinda hate how you can accidently parry lace's attack when you use a sprint attack on her and get thrown into her hitbox

happens alot in my steel soul runs with lace 1

[severe cosmos]

just found it horrible that it is deeply concealed within a tight spot in the map

it is SO missable

it should be at the major part of the underworks

[unkempt steeple]

I didn't find it missable tbh

[meager jolt]

Also required

[severe cosmos]

but SO missable

[severe cosmos]

i only got the clawline on the quarter of act 2

[idle field]

just discovered sands of karak 💀

[fallen spoke]

not really, after you beat || trobbio || there's basically a straight path to it

[halcyon plover]

I don't think it is missable since it is kinda required to explore most other parts. If you don't get it you are bound to explore and find it eventually

[severe cosmos]

it is SO hidden on your firs playthrought
i am OBVIOUSLY using myself as a compass tho
Im not saying that everyone found it missable

[severe cosmos]

then it is missable

if something is only found when your only option is finding it
it is missable

[unkempt steeple]

well

it's a metroidvania, so...

[fallen spoke]

but its not tho, theres a straight path to it after || trobbio ||

[severe cosmos]

sorry if im being rude tho

[meager jolt]

Not rude, it's your opinion

[fallen spoke]

no no, its completely okay to critisize a game

[severe cosmos]

oh yeah its true

[halcyon plover]

I realised i missed a few things in act 2. I don't know how. But i just didn't encounter || first sinner||.

[severe cosmos]

but why a major skill?
Why did it need to be hidden behind the whiteyard or trobbio

[meager jolt]

She's super hidden, very understandable

[unkempt steeple]

I missed alot too but weirdly not the silk and soul quest, I somehow found that by myself cuz I did every side quest I could while advancing the main game normally

[fallen spoke]

but trobbio isnt hidden, he's literally required, if you do conductors or architect melody first, you will not be able to get them so you will go do vaultkeepers, which will lead you to clawline so you can do the other two

[trail holly]

whats up sk discussion

[halcyon plover]

My friend hyped me up for the battle so much, so i am looking forward to it. But i plan to explore every region fully this time in act 2. So I don't miss anything

[meager jolt]

Hello

[unkempt steeple]

she's peak

[severe cosmos]

i din't say they're hidden, the CLAWLINE is hidden BEHIND them, you only unlock it if you go throught them

[meager jolt]

One of the best bosses in the game

[severe cosmos]

i cheesed her so bad, i din't find her anything, and a bit underwhelming

[halcyon plover]

Same. I thought that you get like after completing every quest. Fortunately i didn't have to do the delivery quests

[fallen spoke]

but trobbio is required and easy to find, so its not missable

[delicate sun]

thr was no good vid for silk and soul

[severe cosmos]

🫤 really.
you arent even trying to understand my point.

[fallen spoke]

maybe, i have like no reading comprehension

[halcyon plover]

Cheesing usually takes the fun out. ( I cheese most of the bosses, so i have difficulty in actual fight)

[severe cosmos]

why is one of the silk hearts so hidden tho?
I only got it in act 3

[slender juniper]

Clawline isn't locked behind trobbio

[fallen spoke]

well silkhearts arent necessary

[slender juniper]

You can get clalwine before dancers because of whiteward

[severe cosmos]

but theyre cool

[slender juniper]

False

[halcyon plover]

You can get all 3 in act 2 itself.

[fallen spoke]

I KNOW, but its the most straightforward way to get it

[severe cosmos]

we all know

[hybrid flare]

Ahhh... you were at my side... all along...

[slender juniper]

Bell beast silkheart

[fallen spoke]

really? where are they required again? i forgot?

[severe cosmos]

%'ing the game

[slender juniper]

And if you don't have a silkheart you can get softlocked

[fallen spoke]

thats not what im saying bro, i mean getting the third silkheart isnt required

[halcyon plover]

Well having all silkheart and weavelight is free skill spam

[fallen spoke]

i mean its a metroidvania, so some stuff is just very hidden

[slender juniper]

If you don't have a silkheart after getting clawline and You save and quit you're hardstuck

Don't do dashless wormways

[halcyon plover]

Can we do it if we have good amount of silk?

[slender juniper]

No , because if you save and quit all of your silk gets deleted

[fallen spoke]

but you wont have any silk if you save quit

[halcyon plover]

Oh yeah. Sorry i didn't read properly.

[severe cosmos]

hornet's gender is up to the player's interpretation

[slender juniper]

Why is hornet such an incel

[bitter briar]

Cause she is a racist bum

[slender juniper]

Twitter user ahh

[fallen spoke]

coral tower is good guys, just cause something is hard doesnt mean its bad, and it doesnt have a pure unfair row like high halls last row

[lone escarp]

this fucking flying loser, i pogo him withe witch crest, i crawl up his ass, then i exit his ass, and on the exit he just keeps flying and i take contact damage on spawn, incredible

[halcyon plover]

Guys can old hearts act like charm?

[severe cosmos]

Pharloom's silking is quite advanced

[slender juniper]

No

[fallen spoke]

90% of coral tower are flying enemys, which one?

[lone escarp]

"b-b-b-but it's good" shut the fuck up dude, i'm just giving myself infinite hp, i couldn't give less of a fuck about it

[lone escarp]

doesn't fucking matter

[fallen spoke]

ok your choice, chill out dude

[severe cosmos]

Theyre hearts of strong and important beings, not crystalized fragments of someone's or something's will, that poured into a vessel forming an object that manifests such will

[narrow bramble]

Gng respected 2 coral drill couple and not green prince

[lone escarp]

kites are dogshit and everyone hates them, 90% of the coral tower is dogshit, the rest 10% too, lmfao you call it fun and then say that, like sybau

bitch ass fucking tower, couldn't care less, get it over with, throw it in the trash, never create anything like that again, thanks team cherry

[fallen spoke]

i find it fun, whats your problem with that? chill man

[severe cosmos]

Mementos are the closest things we get to them, but they're mostly cosmetics and dont inherit a will, so they are just pins that mean something.

[fallen spoke]

just cause you hate something doesnt mean that everyone should agree with you

[lone escarp]

everyone hates this shit dawg, gtfo don't talk to me right now

wait, there's a button for that, see ya

[fallen spoke]

same, i dont want to anything to do with you either

[bitter briar]

Coral tower is never this deep

It’s four floors dawg😭

[fallen spoke]

its deep underwater tho

[bitter briar]

Unless you’re counting khann but he’s lowkey easy

[halcyon plover]

I think after few times it will become easy. I hated mount fay in my first play through. Couldn't even reach first bench. So had to use mod for whole thing. In my second play through. I did it without mod for most part. (Still couldn't reach first bench.) I hope i can do it without mod in 3rd try.

If you feel difficult you can use mod i think. Set up your own challenge level

[bitter briar]

The deep from the boys mentioned

[severe cosmos]

Someone who COULD form a charm is The Watcher Of The Edge, that carries such strong will to protect their kingdom, the point of surpassing extinction and death.

[fallen spoke]

oh the edgy guy, i lowkey forgot he existed

[lone escarp]

bruh, mount fay has nothing on the coral tower, like.. parkour is fun. this shit is just kites

[toxic vigil]

Egg of flealia is just straight up a charm

[fallen spoke]

i thought you were leaving

[devout dove]

that parkour was NOT fun for me lmao

[fallen spoke]

it was for me, mount fay is my second fav area lol

[bitter briar]

One could say it’s peak

[halcyon plover]

I am not good at platforming, especially with timers.

[devout dove]

the parkour could've been fun but the freezing genuinely just put so much pressure on me

[toxic vigil]

Mount fay peak

[bitter briar]

Holy shit it’s dartling
Gunner btd6

[fallen spoke]

i found the freezing to be very cool, like it was stressing me out which is fun

[devout dove]

are you a masochist perhaps

[halcyon plover]

I hate mount fay more than bile water. Because i could get used to enemies but not the timer.

[toxic vigil]

Hrp

[fallen spoke]

sometimes i do question that

[devout dove]

actually i havent even been to bilewater yet how horrible is it

[bitter briar]

When are you getting a paragon

[toxic vigil]

56 trust

[bitter briar]

Ice monkey got one

[fallen spoke]

i love both, bilewater is my 3rd favorite area (maybe the guy who said im a masochist is onto something)

[bitter briar]

Druid done got a paragon before you bro it’s never coming

[broken seal]

what does idk mean

[fallen spoke]

its so bad its amazing

[devout dove]

you're DEFINETLY a masochist twin

[halcyon plover]

It is horrible. But i entered with most of upgrades and tool. So it was difficult, but not that painful for me

[bitter briar]

Atp super monkey paragon before dartling gunner

[devout dove]

idk means "i dont know"

[severe cosmos]

oh yeah

[broken seal]

Balanced Spell Twister

[fallen spoke]

worse grubberflys

[broken seal]

the effect Egg has is better than the effect of grubberflys

[fallen spoke]

imo grubberflys has a way better effect, plus its use during radiant mode

[devout dove]

but you dont gain soul when using grubberfly, though

[fallen spoke]

but you can shoot from so far

[broken seal]

does less damage

[fallen spoke]

oh

well actually i hate using grubbers just because of the awful sound of the beams

[broken seal]

also 3 notch cost

[fallen spoke]

i only used it for radiant sly, which was awesome\

i've never used egg tho

[broken seal]

peak asf for Shamans, not generally worth for most crests but still very good (assuming you avoid damage)

[broken seal]

(Except for Architects obviously)

[fallen spoke]

not worth for most crests tho, its a blue tool right? there are so many better choices for that (except for shaman)

[broken seal]

yea that's what i said lol

it's good but generally there are stronger options

[fallen spoke]

oh i cannot read apparantly

[proven roost]

what's the best route for under 5 hr speed run achievement?

[bitter briar]

Phantom

If you’re good

[fallen spoke]

judge if you're on latest patch

[bitter briar]

They mega nerfed judge

[fallen spoke]

but you cant do the drifters skip pn latest patch

[bitter briar]

Oh yea

[proven roost]

is the worm ways route still any good?

[fallen spoke]

no

you cant do the drifters skip, its patched

you can do it by downpatching tho

[toxic vigil]

Just play normally but fast and gud

[cerulean sable]

most aurafull character in Silksong?

[lone escarp]

just did the coral tower with wanderer's first try, fuck kites

[lone escarp]

You are now John Silksong

[winged lily]

Time to 100%

Also what's up with the room above lugoli's arena

Is it just needolin

[winged lily]

Alchemy...?

[still osprey]

Just lore

[winged lily]

Aight

[severe cosmos]

So cute to see the imprisoned souls of the bugs!

except here they are kinda free

silkflies are so miserable that no freedom would overcome the curse of imortality and removal of conciousness + a lot of things

Stripped of their bodies, mind, soul (kind of), emotions, conciousness, sense of self

does living even matter for them?

i guess that they would beg to be killed if they could

they have nothing left

[heady iron]

wonder who the silkfly that sacrified its life to free Hornet was

[severe cosmos]

idk

maybe heng

since she's the goat❤️‍🩹

[scenic yoke]

Does hornet have anything like shadow dash?

Last judge is killin me

[icy crow]

https://tenor.com/view/parry-nuke-parry-sword-nuke-explosion-gif-9576768970272135833

[scenic yoke]

and she is so fuckin TALL

[still osprey]

Not really

[severe cosmos]

yep

[still osprey]

Closest thing is Sharpdart, which is only accessible in Act 2 without skips

[severe cosmos]

SO GET THAT SKIP

[scenic yoke]

AAAUUUUGGGHHHHHHH

[severe cosmos]

if you want to kill her really, you need to do skips

[scenic yoke]

I need to defeat last judge to get to act two

skips?

[severe cosmos]

but you can also kill phantom

[old compass]

hornet

[scenic yoke]

Man you can just say I fuckin suck alr (T^T)

[severe cosmos]

skips is what we call techniques used to bypass a requirement in games, being money, skill or whatever

[scenic yoke]

Okay and to get clawline with skips entails?

[still osprey]

You can just get it without clawline

[severe cosmos]

you cant use skips to get clawline its act 2 only

[still osprey]

Sprint jump, dash, heal stall, float

If you want to make it more lenient you can also stall with flea brew

[scenic yoke]

My guy, she is TALL. Most times I need to jump off a WALL to get over her, shes a god damn MOUNTAIN

[severe cosmos]

thats the type shit you'll do in act 3 dw

[severe cosmos]

we're talking abt the skip to get sharpdart

[scenic yoke]

Oh

What does sharpdart do>

[still osprey]

It's basically Sharp Shadow if it was actually good

[scenic yoke]

SERIOUSLY?!

[old compass]

it does have a delay every time you use it though (

[still osprey]

Dash through stuff, deal damage

[scenic yoke]

Hand over your secrets lol

[old compass]

so be careful with it, THEN it becomes sharp shadow if good

otherwise if you get hit on the delay, you use up silk while doing no damage

[still osprey]

I can open the game rq and record the skip, but it might take me a bit to get there

[scenic yoke]

Shadow dash has like a 1.5s cooldown or more... smth like that i honestly forgot

[old compass]

yeah but that's cooldown, I meant like, when you activate sharpdart, it has a small delay

[scenic yoke]

Oh

Alright

Now how do I obtain this

[old compass]

wormways weavers nest

[scenic yoke]

Of fucking COURSE ITS THE GOD DAMN WORMWAYS

I have a personal grudge against that place

[old compass]

wormways isn't that bad just farm soul

it's just boring

[old compass]

is this skip necessary though

what context is it used in mostly

[still osprey]

getting sharpdart early

if you want some kind of max% act 1 save file idk

[old compass]

yeah...why would you want that

[still osprey]

pretty sure it can be used to get faydown in Act 1 too

[old compass]

WHAT

[still osprey]

Sharpdart is just a good skill to have, what's the harm in getting it early

it's arguably the best silk skill depending on who you ask

[old compass]

well, no harm but, just curious

I guess maybe steel soul mode

because it's you know, shade cloak

no need to risk mist

to get cross stitch

[still osprey]

I hate how it consumes the silk even if you get hit during the windup

not even silkspear does that

[old compass]

yeah that kinda sucks

[scenic yoke]

Okay so where am I goin in wormways?

[still osprey]

just left and up

[old compass]

yes

[still osprey]

to the weavenest door

[old compass]

the most left of wormways

[still osprey]

I actually forgot about this skip when recording a collection of all silksong skips and movement I know

There we go now it should be complete

[old compass]

what's godpixel

[worldly umbra]

imagine genuinely naming your files

[old compass]

dang that's crazy

[still osprey]

pixel perfect gap

[scenic yoke]

Question: is the way I wish to go in wormways locked behind a door with a simple lock?

[old compass]

yes

[scenic yoke]

FUCK

[old compass]

pay up buddy

[scenic yoke]

I used the one from vendor to unlock the cage on sinners road

[still osprey]

there are 2 simple keys in act 1, if you've already used both, you're out of luck

[scenic yoke]

Alright wheres the second?

[still osprey]

Sinner's Road

[scenic yoke]

(-_-)

[old compass]

yeah

lol

[scenic yoke]

Of course its in that hellhole

[old compass]

time to get chased by all em mutts!

[icy crow]

Sinner's Road only bad part are the Muckroaches if you don't know how to properly bait their attacks

[still osprey]

Sinner's Road is just a little annoying

[old compass]

I mean you can avoid them for tha most part

[icy crow]

Can get to bait their jumping bite and bonk their heads when they land on the ground

[still osprey]

nothing really wrong with it

[scenic yoke]

Yeah they're easy to avoid mostly

but the MAGGOT ROT is what I most DESPISE

[still osprey]

I think I put it in B or C in my area tier list

[icy crow]

Sinner's Road is just Bilewater Easy Mode lmao

[old compass]

NOT THE BILEWATER

[icy crow]

You'll see plenty more maggot water in Bilewater

And I mean plenty more as in 3x the amount

[still osprey]

yea it's in C

[icy crow]

Gonna wait to see where will Pharloom Bay land in that tierlist

[still osprey]

I'm expecting it to go in A probably unless the enemies really piss me off

[old compass]

bay land? is that the confirmed name for sos

[still osprey]

Pharloom Bay, yea

[old compass]

hmmmmm

[scenic yoke]

I HAVE A GOD DAMN QUESTION

you cannot like bilewater and hate ducts

it doesnt work like that

Yes you can

[severe cosmos]

i refuse to believe there's **nothing there **

oh yeah i forgot this is the seth area

Ducts is bilewater if it was fucking ass

[old compass]

ducts has like...THOSE enemies

so the same

[icy crow]

You'll get to there in act three

[fallen spoke]

bilewater is peak bro

[severe cosmos]

yeah i know, i amafyauqwr0[ the peak silksonger

[exotic cedar]

Bilewater has fun platforming, good enemies, good music

Ducts has none of that

[fallen spoke]

the platforming in bilewater is fun

and music

and groal is also good (hot take)

[queen acorn]

team cherry reportedly sacrifices the souls of backers to make people like bilewater

[exotic cedar]

Ducts also doesn't have any boss and doesn't have any content

[icy crow]

I think people like Bilewater more despite everything because it's at least more "fun" than the unfair random bullshit go that Ducts is

[old compass]

ducts kinda just exist

[fallen spoke]

...what?

[icy crow]

And has one of the most boring wishes ever

[still osprey]

ducts is an annoying nothingburger area where you walk in a straight path

Bilewater has great level design

[worldly umbra]

i know far fields is already huge but i would love more farfields
like in the background of big rooms in the farfields you can see so much more going on
ex: that big skeleton, big bridges and pathways, more lava and stuff, it would be so cool

[queen acorn]

live scene of team cherry casting a spell to make people unconditionally glaze bilewater

[icy crow]

Ducts is the type shit Mario has to go through before he enters the actual underground

and then it does everything it can to make that straight path be as annoying and bullshit as humanly possible

[scenic yoke]

@old compass dude I'm at the door in wormways

however I can't reach it

[sage glade]

come back later

you don't have the ability

[scenic yoke]

theres gotta be SOME way

[sage glade]

my friend

you literally do not have the conditions required to enter rn

[scenic yoke]

I have the needolin

[opaque sigil]

what the fuck is a metroidvaniaaaa

[sage glade]

if you have it, entering is obvious

[quartz cave]

chat how are my creations looking

[scenic yoke]

its just too high/far to reach

[broken seal]

for entering Wormways or for the Weavenest?

[broken seal]

ah

[still osprey]

Well yea you have to do a skip if you want to reach it in act 1

[exotic stump]

0_0

[sage glade]

hello is mio trolling me

[exotic stump]

Hello everyone

[scenic yoke]

thats the thing I don't know the skip

[sage glade]

i feel like i'm circling back and forth between the same two areas

[opaque sigil]

how would it be trolling you

[sage glade]

there's no way i'm gonnna beat all the 7 different ||body parts|| at this rate

when i've not even met one of em

[hybrid flare]

7?

oh right, the ass

[scenic yoke]

Shiiii I'm gonna need to take off an item rq

[broken seal]

Sprint
Jump without releasing the button until max height
Float
Start the dash with the float button still held
Heal slightly before the dash ends
Hold float during the healing animation so it starts early

[still osprey]

? Which one?

[scenic yoke]

Multibinder

[quartz cave]

alright quick give stuff suggestion before i close the game this is the time

[hybrid flare]

The pacing is indeed quite weird itll be a while before you get your first and you'll get the rest pretty quickly

[quartz cave]

i can make books, videos, pets, games, music, misc, and foods

[still osprey]

I don't think multibinder affects the skip, you're just gonna stay mid-air for longer

[scenic yoke]

oh

[broken seal]

just voltpogo fr

[quartz cave]

BadTie bestie i can add that robot you sent earlier as a pet instead that wouldnt require me drawing

[proud plume]

ì think volt pogo is patched as of rn

[sage glade]

i'm fighting a fucking ||door||

what in the fromsoft is this

[broken seal]

the joke is that you need faydown to get voltbolas + snare setter anyway and if you have faydown you don't need a voltpogo for weavenest karn (also it's patched yeah)

[severe cosmos]

im crine

[hybrid flare]

lwk good ass duo boss

duo..?

[still osprey]

Hell yea

[sage glade]

straight up what is this mob spawning shit

[vale whale]

door?

[quartz cave]

who do i give it to

[cursive pagoda]

hallownest vs pharloom would probably be a hallownest victory imo

[sage glade]

for what

[cursive pagoda]

wdym

[sage glade]

victory in terms of what

[cursive pagoda]

annihilation idk

[quartz cave]

im so peak

[vale whale]

oh my god it's fucking MIO

[hybrid flare]

If its infantry vs infantry pharloom mogs

pharloom's soldiers can use quite literally silk

[cursive pagoda]

yeah im talking about adding in the big guys too

[vale whale]

idk man

[hybrid flare]

Yeah pharloom aint doing shit then because hallownest has plot armor

[unreal ice]

Is the reason Hornet can run for long periods of time but the Knight can only dash short distances the fact that Hornet's head is very aerodynamic and lets her cut through the air easily

[vale whale]

no they can flail it around the only ones who can " use it " are the clappers who can imbue it into their weapons

[halcyon plover]

dude saw the movie today. as you said it was great. probably my top 3 favorite space film

[vale whale]

none of them can TRULY use silk hornet says they do so crudely

[hybrid flare]

They were trained specifically to be proficient with silk read choristor and grand reed i think entries

[quartz cave]

IM SAYING LIKE

[sage glade]

i think infected hallownest could win

[vale whale]

so true

[hybrid flare]

They can't generate it but they can use it

[sage glade]

haven't watched it yet, ppl say it's outer wilds movie is it true

[quartz cave]

i need to add ryland to my tomodachi island but idk how to make miis
i bet there are a few ryan gosling miis though

[opaque sigil]

uh no

[sage glade]

why not

[opaque sigil]

they just aren't very similar

[halcyon plover]

i havent played outer wilds so idk

[vale whale]

son YOU read it the grand reed entry directly states it's crude

[sage glade]

but did you like it

[hybrid flare]

Usage is usage nevertheless lmao

[opaque sigil]

yeah it's a pretty good movie

definitely recommend reading the book too it has some cool stuff that doesn't make it in

[hybrid flare]

"somewhat crude" compared to hornet's more refined techniques sure

[vale whale]

flailing a spool of silk around won't make you stronger then hallownest's infantry

[hybrid flare]

hallownest's infantry is dogshit they aren't doing anything either way

[scenic yoke]

Alright whats voltpogo-ing?

[hybrid flare]

But it does... that's literally soul usage and it has proven to be quite effective

[vale whale]

hornet was alive when the weavers were around she has seen more average weaver use of silk matter of fact she literally says it's slightly similar to how the weavers used silk

[hybrid flare]

Mhmmm

them being able to use silk at all is already a big thing

[scenic yoke]

Whats voltpogo-ing?

[vale whale]

void soldiers

great knights

[halcyon plover]

i think all space scifi movie i have watched are pretty good. interstellar, gravity, armageddon, mickey 17 and project hail mary.

[hybrid flare]

limited in quantity and isnt "infantry"

[vale whale]

pure vessel

[hybrid flare]

those arent infantry either

[sage glade]

can they even move

[still osprey]

[hybrid flare]

The void soldiers cant rlly use void themselves that's their composition

[halcyon plover]

pogoing off volt orbs, it was removed i think

[sage glade]

missing Arrival

[halcyon plover]

https://klipy.com/gifs/kowalski-noted-1--k01KQ2MSAZH28T2TPA8C5PYJPF7

oh i cant send gif

[vale whale]

theyre still comprised of void a substance known for its ability to destroy literally ANYTHING to ever exist

[sage glade]

new member

[halcyon plover]

anyways noted

[scenic yoke]

NOOOOOO

[vale whale]

the collector didnt use void but that one bug got voided up

[narrow bramble]

Groal is scared of you

[quartz roost]

You need to send 300 messages first

[hybrid flare]

Yeah it's in a relatively small quantity and the moulds dont throw it around per say

[hybrid flare]

By exposing himself to the collector too closely for a period of time

[vale whale]

if youre fighting someone close combat are you not exposing yourself to them

[halcyon plover]

guys i noticed when you play needolin in front of grey root you dont get any dialogues, the grey root just sings

[vale whale]

• theyre described as skilled wielders of curved claw blades which shows because they toss that shit and it is HUGE it could take out like 3 reeds in one swing

[hybrid flare]

You are but not very direct as the void layer is separated by armor and likely moulds would fall before the exposure could do any decent numbers

[hybrid flare]

No it wouldnt lmfao, yes they're huge and powerful but what keeps holding them together is their armor

[halcyon plover]

is there any actual way to skip groal now?

[hybrid flare]

or wtv soul thing they used to keep the void in shape

[vale whale]

which just happesn to be extremely durable

[hybrid flare]

which any hard impact would just liquefy

[vale whale]

and even if they do get taken out they explode into void

[hybrid flare]

they dont explode they just pour out

into a measly relatively harmless puddle

[hybrid flare]

Yeah its harmless

[quartz cave]

i love it that if you google vicodin all the bottles say "House, Gregory" in them

[vale whale]

to the knight

a being immune to the vois

[scenic yoke]

For some reason the skip won't work

[hybrid flare]

tk isn't

[scenic yoke]

I've been trying and trying but it don't work

[hybrid flare]

tk gets his ass handled by the void a few times idk if you've played hk

[quartz roost]

Which one?

[halcyon plover]

also guys i remember rescuing a flea in choral chambers in my first playthrough, the one you have jump between three spinning to find them. I pogoed the blade using wanderer. Is other crest usage even possible

[hybrid flare]

and this little void liquid wouldnt be doing much in the battlefield on the larger scale

[scenic yoke]

In wormways behind the locked door

[still osprey]

Nope, all known ways have been patched

[halcyon plover]

is there way to access total of wormways without simple key?

[scenic yoke]

I don't think so but then again I am the WRONG person to ask

[vale whale]

do you mesn the siblings

[quartz roost]

I don't know what skip you're talking about. This is what I get for not playing the game in months

[scenic yoke]

theres a giant gap infront of a door requiring needolin to open in wormways, you have to unlock a door to even get to this spot though

[hybrid flare]

tendrils, siblings, tk also walks on the liquid without it doing anything

[halcyon plover]

the coccon skip in wormways? without dash?

[quartz cave]

alright chat ive made peak

[hybrid flare]

Hornet also exists within the liquid itself, whats dangerous is wtv shape it can take

[scenic yoke]

OH MY GOD COCCON IM A DUMBASS

[quartz cave]

prepareth thyself

[vale whale]

the siblings are concentrated masses of void and obviously the liquid wont do anything it's a sad little puddle

[scenic yoke]

COCCON CAN BE POGO'ED OFF OF RIGHT?

[vale whale]

theyre concentrated so they smack its shell and it gets hurt

[halcyon plover]

yeah, but they spawn only on particular location

[thorn copper]

man this is wonderful

[hybrid flare]

The moulds are also turned into measly pools when killed

[scenic yoke]

I meant the one made upon death

[hybrid flare]

a strike from a clapper would lwk liquefy a mould

[quartz roost]

Oh

[halcyon plover]

yeah, i mean those too. i meant they dont spawn exactly where you die. they have fixed location in room

[scenic yoke]

Okay I have a stupid fucking idea but it JUST MIGHT WORK

[waxen void]

What's everyones main here

[vale whale]

they explode and then turn into a pool if youre sending like 5 moulds at a clapper and it kills them that much void exposure will affect it

[quartz roost]

Take a guess.

[waxen void]

Wandarer

[quartz roost]

Nope

[waxen void]

Witch

[hybrid flare]

the clapper has also armor that the small amount of void really wouldnt do anything against

and anyways thats like 1 clapper per 5 moulds ratio thats good shit

[waxen void]

Witch

[quartz cave]

now this is my kinda shop

[hybrid flare]

also no guarantee that the void will land on the clapper instead of js being on its mace or on the floor

[quartz roost]

One of them, but not the main main

[waxen void]

Architect

[scenic yoke]

OH GOD DAMN IT

[quartz roost]

DEFINITELY NOT

[waxen void]

The knight one

[scenic yoke]

I thought the flea's brew when combined with pollip pouch would deal poison dmg to self

[quartz cave]

dude this game is amazing

[waxen void]

Idk it's name

[hazy spear]

Cursed witch?

[hazy spear]

That's wanderer you already said it

[waxen void]

The default

[hazy spear]

Surely hunter

[vale whale]

well yeah theyre not exactly durable when big guy who amplifies his attacks with silk runs in

[hazy spear]

Wanderer is closer to knight moveset, hunter is default

[waxen void]

Reaper

[hazy spear]

But I think it is shaman

[waxen void]

Where do I find it

[waxen void]

Nahh je mains reaper

[quartz roost]

Nah. There is a very big hint

[hazy spear]

I'm playing along bro

[waxen void]

REAPER HAS A BOG ATTACK

[quartz roost]

One of my mains but not my main main

[halcyon plover]

are you planning to create a coccon to reach the weavenest in wormways?

[waxen void]

REAPER HAS A BIG ATTACK

[hazy spear]

How do you have reaper and architect but not wanderer

[waxen void]

I don't have architect

[hazy spear]

Weaver queen?

[quartz roost]

Shh, hints help with the joke. Now be oblivious

[hazy spear]

Maybe no crest slab?

[scenic yoke]

... noooooo... yes...

[waxen void]

(Just start naming shit from hk)

[quartz roost]

That's a good one, I should use it more lol

[halcyon plover]

i dont think it is possible. you have no enemies there

[quartz cave]

WAIT NO

[quartz roost]

Shockley no

[waxen void]

Uhhh steady body

[waxen void]

Oooohhhhhh ur a hornet main

[scenic yoke]

Not in that specific spot yes. However I planned on using flea brew with pollip pouch (which applies poison to tools used) to kill myself with poison'

[hazy spear]

Who needs crests when you have sharpdart

[dusk quail]

whazzaaaa

[hazy spear]

Are you one of those sawtooth circlet only players?

[scenic yoke]

The levels of stupidity are mind boggling...

[quartz roost]

Yuup, but not the answer I'm looking for

[waxen void]

(Play along)

[scenic yoke]

(no)

[waxen void]

Uuuhhhhhh ur a silk songbmain?

[scenic yoke]

anyways bye for nowwww

[quartz roost]

I don't like sharpdart personally

[waxen void]

(No)

[scenic yoke]

OH SHIT I HIT 300 MESSAGES

[hazy spear]

😱

[dusk quail]

i beat coral tower wisp only worst mistake of my life

[hazy spear]

Please say cross stitch?

[halcyon plover]

[quartz roost]

Tell me you're crazy without telling me you're crazy

[toxic vigil]

Archi overdose?

[quartz roost]

I like cross stitch, not my main silkskill though

[hazy spear]

Did you have flintslate too?

[waxen void]

Ur a bind majn

[dusk quail]

what seven months of no Sea of Sorrow does to you

[hazy spear]

THat buffs them right?

[toxic vigil]

No

[hazy spear]

Claw mirrors carrying

[quartz roost]

That's the fun part though

[hazy spear]

What does again, it had a synergy with smtn

[dusk quail]

my egotistical ass didnt even want to touch plasmium (i ended up using it in the end)

[dusk quail]

huh why

[toxic vigil]

They both contribute to the same fire dmg.
It takes 3-4 hits to activate and deals 4 dmg 3 times

[waxen void]

Hot take the most fun part about lifeblood in hkss is throwing the bottle

[quartz roost]

Announcement: Hollow Knight Silksong's DLC: Sea of sorrow is releasing on May 10th 10:30 A.M. ACST! And it's free of charge! Don't miss it!

We can't wait to see you swimming in the seas of sorrow!

[hazy spear]

I thought it's fire is better with flintslate

[dusk quail]

hot take but savage beastfly (both fights) arent even hard its just pogo simulator

[toxic vigil]

Nope.

[quartz roost]

Yes, now which one?

[toxic vigil]

Its easy with wanderer for me but hard with hunter

[waxen void]

Uhhhhhhhh dice

[halcyon plover]

when i fought gms for first few times, i used plasmium, fleabrew, cogfly. but i actually defeated her without any red tool usage.

[toxic vigil]

Wanderer pogo is just fast

[hazy spear]

Can you check wiki

[quartz roost]

👏👏👏👏, No

[dusk quail]

that fight is so cinema ong

[waxen void]

Warding bell?

[toxic vigil]

It only contrirbutes to the fire dmg

[quartz roost]

Least favorite

[hazy spear]

That means it is a buff

Flintslate makes it do more damage with fire

[waxen void]

Uhhhhhh dark Souls

[toxic vigil]

Nerf actually bc they steal each other's dmg

[halcyon plover]

it is opposite for me. i love wanderer yet i cant consecutively pogo aerial enemies with it. I just defeated it with hunters with max pogo

[toxic vigil]

Interesting

[waxen void]

Ur different

[quartz roost]

Yessssssss!!

[waxen void]

I GOT IT YEAAA

[polar burrow]

Silksong is NEVER getting released 😭😭😭😭😭🙏

[toxic vigil]

It dosen't bc wisp never hit

[waxen void]

Impossible

[dusk quail]

btw is this real

[halcyon plover]

not just savage beast fly i could pogo all aerial enemy with easy using hunter. Will have to test against groal, but i doubt i would survive

[vale whale]

if sos comes out on may 18th i will cry

birthday sos...........

[quartz roost]

No, I made it

[waxen void]

Did Pythagoras really die

[polar burrow]

Dude I can’t wait to play silksong in 2037 😭😭😭

[hazy spear]

He's saying he did coral tower wisp only

[waxen void]

I bet ur name is aaron

[hazy spear]

You have silk hearts

[dusk quail]

its not even hard to pogo with hunter lol

[hazy spear]

There are enemies.

Then flintslate wouldn't do shit

Reallll

[hazy spear]

Bro you just said

Ok nvm

[waxen void]

Guys is it gay to like gathering swarm equivalent to hkss

[hazy spear]

Here's what it says on wiki:

[queen acorn]

ethreally ass chat

[hazy spear]

"Flintslate and Wispfire Lantern both contribute to the combined chance of setting enemies on fire."

[waxen void]

What

[dusk quail]

no but its gay to like men if youre a man i think

[waxen void]

Oh

[queen acorn]

bro forgot the part where we send daily reaper hate

[hazy spear]

That means if you have flintslate, wisps set enemies on fire more, doing more damage

[waxen void]

Woaw woaw woaw hold up here

[queen acorn]

its a bit ion hate reaper

[hazy spear]

Which helps you beat coral tower with only wisps

[waxen void]

Woah woah woah careful this is how wars start buddy

[queen acorn]

i just

[dusk quail]

also why is it called #sk-discussion and not ss-discussion what does the k stand for

[waxen void]

SilK

[queen acorn]

silk

[hazy spear]

Sil Ksong

[dusk quail]

does that mean hk stands for HolloK

[waxen void]

HollKow

SilsKong

[waxen void]

Sister in laws kong!?

[waxen void]

Sils donkey kong

[toxic vigil]

Yeah.
If you use flintslate to hit things

[hazy spear]

Is it not saying it buffs the chance

[toxic vigil]

No

[hybrid flare]

any big blunt force would mog moulds either way

RAAAH

[midnight magnet]

If the bugs were a loop would you disintegrate them?

[hybrid flare]

truly

[fiery burrow]

GG

[compact cargo]

hey can you not get the citadel spa marked in your map in act 3?

like the little text of "citadel spa"

[midnight magnet]

They marked me.

[fiery burrow]

The Citadel spa is a psyop man I've never encountered it in any playthrough and apparently sherma and green prince show up there

[sage glade]

ominous sentence

[midnight magnet]

I can no longer close my eyes

[urban mason]

Wait, the green prince also shows up at the spa?

[fiery burrow]

He doesn't because the spa isn't real

Pay more attention smh

i think you mean "never"

[cerulean sable]

i have played these games before

it is not if

it is when

also i hit you with my famed Polehammer then use Adrenaline > Rotate > then swap to Great Hammer

[onyx ember]

its insane how easy some difficult bosses are when you are calm instead of rushing

[cerulean sable]

thats everything tbh

i remember my first HK playthrough

i was fucking shaking at Dung Defender lmao

[onyx ember]

😭

i barely beat him first try, same with nosk

[cerulean sable]

one thing i realized over time ive built a lot of "nerve" from replaying a lot of other action games

[onyx ember]

for both hornet fights i needed 2 tries

[onyx ember]

real

[cerulean sable]

opposing force is better (never played either expacs)

man bloodborne's final boss is so good

[rocky jolt]

its the only one without a black mesa remake though

[cerulean sable]

its ongoing already though no?

[hybrid flare]

black mesa has blue shift?

[cerulean sable]

i forgot but iirc theres 2 seperate Black Mesa style remakes

[rocky jolt]

theres a mod for it

[cerulean sable]

one uses Black Mesa as a base and the other is a from scratch

yeah

its on the Workshop

[hybrid flare]

im waiting for black mesa opp force

[onyx python]

bacl mes from half life

[rocky jolt]

its not finished rn but you can play most chapters

[cerulean sable]

and iirc theyre close to releasing the final chapter

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2424633574

[rocky jolt]

they announced an operation black mesa idk what happened to that

[cerulean sable]

yeah last Chapter was back in November 2025

[cerulean sable]

they did an "Were not dead!!!" years ago

still though

i get that they dont wanna reuse Black Mesa Asset

and you can notice theres a bit of an arstyle difference from their assets vs to BM

but still, thats gonna be a ALOOTTTT of work

[rocky jolt]

yup

i actually wonder if black mesa blue shift will try to rework the ending a bit

[cerulean sable]

afaik its very anticlimatic yeah?

you were like

"meet up with us by the car" and then, its over

[hybrid flare]

isnt it the same as regular blue shift

like it should be BM was the same thing as hl

[cerulean sable]

well, the Black Mesa Blue Shift mod ISNT done yet

tbf BM did a lot of creative liberties

[rocky jolt]

after you do some teleporting shenanigans in xen yes

[cerulean sable]

hate it or like it (i mostly like it except i think it couldve been cut by around 20% shorter) they expanded a lot of end game stuff

[rocky jolt]

xen naturally being a very weird chapter in both half life and blue shift

[rocky jolt]

some expanding would be nice

[hybrid flare]

the whole xen section just not being good in hl1 was certainly something

[rocky jolt]

valve ran out of budget ig

[cerulean sable]

fwiw, i still enjoyed the expanded Xen in Black Mesa

i do think its a bit too long

[hybrid flare]

especially when stuff like fauna and fungus was introduced later and it didnt really fit into what xen is

[cerulean sable]

but shit like the Vortigaunt Village and the factor level is the type of shit is how 11 year old me remembers Xen

[hybrid flare]

yeah black mesa did xen favours

[rocky jolt]

i loved gonarchs lair in black mesa

[hybrid flare]

nihilanth is still mid unfortunately

[rocky jolt]

interloper was definitely too long tho

[rocky jolt]

i think hes fine

[cerulean sable]

tbf, i dont think theres much you could do with a boss fight in the Half Life series 🥴

[hybrid flare]

I liked that it had environmental storytelling but yeah it dragged

xen was beautiful loved that

[cerulean sable]

at most i think a single boss fight wont really work more so than a pressure/resource management kinda fight

[hybrid flare]

it was long but i had a good time

[cerulean sable]

something like the Strider assault in White Forest is the closest thing you can have to a good "boss fight" in Half Life

also not really a hot take but i can see why a lot of old hates dont like the OST as much

I personally do

[rocky jolt]

whenever theres a bossfight in a half life game its usually just hiding and running from it like episode 1 strider and the antlion guardian

[hybrid flare]

i love it

[cerulean sable]

I love the very synthy loney vibe the OST has

[hybrid flare]

it hits hard its similar to EZ2 ost

[cerulean sable]

[hybrid flare]

and hl2's ost in general

[cerulean sable]

its a fetch but they have the same vibe for me of that lonely piano atmosphere hence i loved Karaks OST

wait tryna find the cut OST that i personally lvoed

[cedar trench]

sea of sorrow next week spread the word

[cerulean sable]

https://youtu.be/zFTqQ2r2c3Q?t=16

this was cut i think

but i miss it 😔

i really really love that warping/reversed sound to it

[cerulean sable]

I need to play that lol

[cunning geode]

STRIDER HEADING FOR THE SAWMILL

[strange knot]

Can trobbio have almost undodgeable patterns or do I just have a skill issue

[hybrid flare]

i liked it quite a bit i played through it for every ending

[cerulean sable]

you can probs try hitting the balls mid air

i think i need to replay HL2 and finally play EP1 and 2

[hybrid flare]

you havent?

[mystic chasm]

i wonder what happens if you come to greyroot with the bud before getting the poison thing

i guess i'll figure out rn

[sage glade]

black mesa when white savanna walks in

[cerulean sable]

Weird thing is i dont know why, maybe i just dont want a series that ends in a cliff hanger

and wanting more is agonzing

(sounds familiar)

[mystic chasm]

guess i cant get witch crest bceause this quest is broken 🥹

[cunning geode]

i’m also replaying a classic shooter

[cerulean sable]

but yeah i felt like i didnt wanna get invested in a series that may or may not end, so despite knowing the shit about Ep1 and 2, i just never played them

[cunning geode]

halo combat evolved, but with Ruby’s Rebalance mod

oh my goooooodness it’s so yummy

[fiery burrow]

ASOIAF..

[sage glade]

you've never played episode 1 and 2...?

[opaque sigil]

is leaving off at the end of hl2 normally that much better

[subtle skiff]

Speaking of series that end on a cliff hanger can g.r.r martin finally either die or put the fries in the bag and let someone else finish asoiaf i want to read it

[sage glade]

holy larp of the cnetury

[opaque sigil]

also uuuh if you like half life and/or old doom play selaco gotta plug that game more

[terse heart]

I hate fleas as much as I do hate grubs

[cerulean sable]

No, i played through 1 (2 times), BMS (4 times) and HL2 (like around 5 times) and a couple of mods iirc

most of my HL days were fucking around Half Life 1 mods

[opaque sigil]

with the disclaimer that it's in EA hell

[cerulean sable]

They Hunger, Scientist Slaughter House, etc

[sage glade]

was about to say

[cerulean sable]

Selacos is almost like Signalis

also ive been eyeing Selaco and almost buying it a couple of times already

but i keep getting off put by the dev speed

like id rather buy a complete product

[opaque sigil]

what's there is already pretty good but yeah that's reasonable

[cerulean sable]

not saying what there isnt good fyi

[sage glade]

money may motivate the dev

[cerulean sable]

TRUE

[opaque sigil]

it's not like they aren't working they do post devlogs fairly often it's just taking a while to y'know double the amount of content in the game

[hybrid flare]

y

[cerulean sable]

ye ofc its just that, i dont think im the type of guy who replays a lot of these indie shooters

so most likely id rather play the full thing ya know

especially horror games

[opaque sigil]

it's not a horror game but fair

[sage glade]

garten of banban 10

[cerulean sable]

fuck you and your content update, youre not getting me back into your shit hole

unless youre Stalker, for some odd reason Stalker scares and creeps me but in a way the vibes and the Zone really does pull me back in lmao

[halcyon plover]

what are the abilities that speed runners get? cloak, clawline and cling grip?

[cerulean sable]

(narratively fitting because a lot of Stalkers in that game cant go back to their original lives and they gravitate to living the zone in itself)

[cerulean sable]

ye ye i meant to word it like "Especially if said game is a horror game"

not that Selaco is a horror game

[sage glade]

#speedrunning

[cerulean sable]

like i enjoyed Signalis but if they announced some kind of content update (hypothetically) id tell you go to fuck themselves i aint touching it again

[wicked mica]

why tf does this stupid nasty chef have 3 heart damage

[sage glade]

it really ain't replayable

[cerulean sable]

Stalker legit is the only horror game i keep coming back to because theres some level of vibe of just surviving with NPCs while exploring such a hostile world, and im trying not to be flowery with my description but there is some weird level of beauty behind the evil in that place

[delicate sun]

Depends on the category

[cerulean sable]

I tend to replay games i enjoy enough despite not having much difference in the gameplay on replays
like Black Mesa got me through multiple times and the only change i did was "im gonna use the pistol more this time" kinda vibe

though i guess you can also argue its pacing

[sage glade]

hard for me to grasp if it's so linear and full of cinematic cutscenes/menu interactions etc that take forever (signalis)

[cerulean sable]

HL games dont really have that- yeah actually

now that you mentioned it

yeah its around 650 pesos

what of it

[median sentinel]

😭

[terse heart]

why we always talking about anything but silksong

[cerulean sable]

we waiting for the sea

still low tide

we aint getting it until late 2026

mark my fucking words

[terse heart]

you're late

[cerulean sable]

no its not

its accurate

theyre no operating by a scope

[worthy lintel]

Sea of Sorrow JUST released wdym

[cerulean sable]

ive seen "Early 2018" flashed in my eyes back when Godmaster was still Gods and Glory

[worthy lintel]

(My source for this is @sweet orchid, blame him if I'm wrong)

[still osprey]

I mean it's been a few hours now

I've made some pretty good progress

[sweet orchid]

die

[cerulean sable]

my favorite Godmaster part was William accidentally uploading the build 2 days earlier

[still osprey]

This is my map so far
