||I must have missed him, I will go check that out||

[velvet trench]

||did u not do gourmet quest?||

[digital robin]

||I'm missing the Courier and Worm ingredients (I didn't want to do Courier until I got 2 silk hearts to have an easier time, so no reason to rush the other)||

[velvet trench]

Ah ic

[mental shuttle]

DO IT ASAP

if you wait too long the fight becomes unreasonably hard

[velvet trench]

I’m already struggling w it, it gets harder??

[mental shuttle]

[digital robin]

||Courier I imagine you mean?||

[mental shuttle]

[mental shuttle]

BOTH

[velvet trench]

Ah yea not gotten ending yet

[digital robin]

I don't even know where ||Chef|| is LMAO, time to look at each wall to see what is breakable

[mental shuttle]

[velvet trench]

||it’s not hidden, but does need double jump||

[digital robin]

||Ahhhh there is a door, it may be a melody door||

I see something sus in the map

[opal totem]

What the fuck

||If you save and quit in haunted bellhart you wake up in the web||

[velvet trench]

[mental shuttle]

oiduashdfoipuashdfpiuashnbdbfpiaushdjfpiasuhjdfpouaihsdfpiuasenb THIS GAME SUCKS

[opal totem]

||Welcome back, Beast Den trap||

Hornet must feel like home

[velvet trench]

[mental shuttle]

@clever furnace

[opal totem]

A certain act 3 fight with the severe lack of floor

[mental shuttle]

what the markoth

[digital robin]

I'm pretty sure the ||Chef|| can be beaten easily with the ||fire trinket + just regenerating last silk|| as long as you keep your distance at all times

[opal totem]

Summoner class is real

[digital robin]

It even ||parries the projectiles away from you|| XD

||Hook + Fire|| hit-and-run is REAL

[serene oxide]

the fact that he's voiced by a guy whose last name is Trobbioni or something is so funny to me

[digital robin]

||He needs to remind the audience, Marketing is really important for a small indie actor||

[mental shuttle]

probably one of those ones addded by a fan
like how the first game had

[digital robin]

Yea most dream bosses where Kickstarter goals

and also some small NPCs that help you a bit, like Mr Shie... oh ||he already dead||

[mental shuttle]

LET ME PLAY THE GAMEAERFAELFOIHJSE G(OIU YB*&SETFAOEFTAE^RTAE&

[full vale]

[atomic lintel]

holy fuck. Steel Soul Exclusive Content Spoilers

[opal totem]

Discord hates spoilering images today

[digital robin]

||I imagine is the room where you get the free recover your cacoon items?||

[hollow laurel]

||You know what would be even funnier, if there was a really hard secret extra phase to grandmother silk that only shows up if you are in steel soil, kinda like the farewell golden room that||

[atomic lintel]

nope but the screenshot i sent before is

this is a completely new room in blasted steps

[clever furnace]

YOURE ON STEEL SOUL ALREADY???

[atomic lintel]

yuh

[clever furnace]

YOURE ON STEEL SOUL IN BLASTED STEPS ALREADY??!?!?!????

[atomic lintel]

just reached the citadel actually

[digital robin]

Blasted only has like 1~2 pretty hard boss, and the beta nerfed one

[atomic lintel]

me skipping the blasted stops boss cause im cool like that

[digital robin]

You skiped ||Judge?||

[atomic lintel]

yea

did it on my first playthrough too

[digital robin]

How do you skip ||Judge|| exactly? XD

[atomic lintel]

some secret area :3

[digital robin]

You are going trough ||the Phantom route||?

[atomic lintel]

yea

its just easier imo

also it unlocks a good path for a future quest

[digital robin]

You do you, both are probably around the same difficulty, ||Judge|| is slower but hurts like a Bergentrück

[blissful obsidian]

||man how tf do I get my stuff back in the slab||

||I snapped the guard’s neck and got my cloak and needle back but like||

||WHERE ARE MY TOOLS||

||WHERE ARE THEY

WHERE THE HELL DO I FIND THIS DAMNED APOSTATE KEY||

[opal totem]

||Not in the slab||

[dim harbor]

why can t we do that to anything thats stunned

[blissful obsidian]

AAAAAAAAAAAA

where do I go

[opal totem]

Out

You don't need that key to escape the place

[blissful obsidian]

yeah I figured that out

I found the bellway inside there

[serene oxide]

oh the key...

[gentle cedar]

||yo does anyone know where to find the sm guy in ff? bro said the very edge of the border but i have no idea what edge they mean||

[opal totem]

Should I kill it

[atomic lintel]

wth i havent seen this

[gentle cedar]

yeah where the heck is that

[atomic lintel]

i know where it is but i guess i just

never returned there

[opal totem]

Looking for one of the last 3 missing journal entries and I have no idea where this one is

Honestly no idea where any of the last 3 are

[mellow sigil]

this one is in ||the slab|| on the lower parts of it!

as well as the one on the right

[opal totem]

But is it there in ||act 3||

[mellow sigil]

ouh idk:0 im still on ||act 2||

what in the world happens in ||act 3||

[opal totem]

Fun

Or the opposite of it according to some

[gentle cedar]

yeah id describe it as fun

[hollow laurel]

A lot…

Can’t wait to play more later :)

7 hours…

[torpid zinc]

yeah ||the slab|| doesn't change much in ||act 3||

[opal totem]

Well I can't find it

[tawdry osprey]

oh you got there

[hollow laurel]

Yeah that arena sucked though

But yeah this games awesome

[opaque shard]

Wasul gaymers

*wasup bruh

[opal totem]

I find all the kinds of guys except the one I need

Bro just dropped the lore of this area

Ok finaly found one

[digital robin]

Courier Dish: ||I though it would be far worse (I got hit 1 time in some spikes because I'm dumb and still had 2 hits left)||

[native turret]

dam gj

[digital robin]

I finished the quest btw (it was the last item)

[native turret]

I had this much left

[digital robin]

What route did you take? XD

[native turret]

uhhhh ||left into the woods, up through blasted steps, through the gate and up through choracl chambers||

got it on my second attempt so I didnt bother with a different one

[tawdry osprey]

you can get hit 2 times

and still do it

[digital robin]

In my case 3

I still had a bit more

[native turret]

I did get hit once, would've been perfectly fine if I didnt

[digital robin]

Yea 1 hit is not too bad if you get the forest elevator down before the quest to not wait there

[native turret]

oh I also didnt know I could sprint

[digital robin]

?

[native turret]

I learned about sprinting right after I finished the quest

so I was spamming dash the entire time which is a bit slower

[digital robin]

Don't you need sprint to leave the sprint+dash tutorial? XD

[native turret]

no

I never once needed sprint really

[digital robin]

||Sprint+jump allows you to dash in the air with super high speed, being almost like 2 air-dashes||

I though it would be neecessery, good to know

[native turret]

yea I thought that happens when you jump mid dash

but also i learned about this when exploring BS for the first time

[clever furnace]

Where the hell is the ||fast master of whatever their name is. “Meet me at far fields border furthest border” THERE ARE LIKE FIVE BORDERS ||

[lusty trout]

game please no

i have to fight || mother silk like THIS?||

[barren ingot]

do you want some advice on how to get rid of it?

[lusty trout]

first ending then

[red river]

It is an achievement to do so

With that

[digital haven]

tbh if you could bind then id probably be able to do it

i feel like tools arent that big of a deal in gms

anyways hi skongers wheres ||maggot protection tool/anything to help with groal||

[lusty trout]

||1st phase down time for last||

[digital robin]

Does ||Shakra|| bossfight gives any reward (other than Hunter Journal)? Or is a Gray P. Zote type "fight for the lulz"?

[tawdry osprey]

wait theres a fight??

[digital robin]

Yes

I'm in the endgame of Act 2 (||I have done ending 1 already, I'm serching the 3th soul||)

Do you want any hints Comotur?

[digital haven]

which soul

im struggling with ||beating groal||

why do i have to do this bro i hate this guy

its there a cheese or smth

[digital robin]

Hook and run

Also I think you can hook multiple times the suck attack

without being eaten

[digital robin]

||hermit||

[digital haven]

hook as in ||clawline?||

[digital haven]

that ones quite easy

[digital robin]

I just don't remember seeing anyone near the bell-town

that fits the description

[native turret]

then you probably didnt find ||one breakable wall||

[digital robin]

It's in the forest area or in the maze in top/bottom?

[native turret]

it is in ||bellhart||

[lusty trout]

I DID IT (TC ending spoilers)

[native turret]

oh so you were in the ||bottom||

then just look around more, if you want a bigger hint ||it's in the top half of the bottom maze||

[digital robin]

||Yea I have the link to the 1st area from before dealing with Widow||

Important Breakable walls, are always a gamble if you just notice them, specially in areas with weird wall textures

[lusty trout]

||also first ever boss without binding||

[digital haven]

btw howd you even beat ||groal||

[barren ingot]

||hug the bottom of it when it does the spitting attack and you can get a lot of safe damage from upswings||

that's the only way I managed it

[digital robin]

I already told you, ||Keep your distance (usually 1 platform in case it decides to jump / start moving), use a long range nail like Mech or Reaper, and punish each time it finishes an attack (mainly suck, orbs can be in a nasty spot), maybe adding 1 or 2 extra hits, grappling into them (it doesn't consme silk if you hit, and get +1 for extra hits)||

[digital haven]

what about the minions

[barren ingot]

||they go away instantly, no?||

[digital haven]

||i think they stay there until you kill them||

[digital robin]

They go away

[digital haven]

oh ping

[digital robin]

100k dev stream

[digital haven]

i think im gonna grab ||piton tool|| and sit under the side platforms and just hit once every 5 business days and hope i live

the balls cant get me there i think

[digital robin]

||Minions disapear after they submerge again they just don't appear, they just spawn from time to time when the boss goes underwater, you are better off just jumping and trying to get or 1 free hits for silk, and ignore them, if they are in a nasty spot bait them and evade the projectiles||

[digital robin]

Explosion hitbox goes trough walls sometimes

[wide ledge]

why did they say this?

i feel the same way to them

[hardy jolt]

hey chat im stuck on a boss do yall got any tips (act 2 spoilers, deltarune spoilers)

[full vale]

[storm garnet]

[storm garnet]

so much wasted effort toward this "hornet" fella

act 2 soily soil soil
||nooo not the aimbot bugs||

[full vale]

[storm garnet]

wage slavery

[clever furnace]

I BEAT ||ENRAGED CONCHFLY||

TAKE THAT YOU ||STUPID OVERSIZED DRILL ||

Now on to another boss… sigh

[full vale]

yes

this thing s so

cool

and cute

and stupid

and

[clever furnace]

||Wow what a beautiful looking region I sure hope it isn’t ruined by eight billion arenas one after the other with no save points||

[hardy jolt]

um

[tawdry osprey]

get jumscared

[storm garnet]

should NOT have unspoiled that

[glad stratus]

The fact there's no shortcut to ||last judge|| really feels like they wanted to make anyone who plays this game hate it to it's core

[mental shuttle]

Im going to kill team cherry for their crimes

[glad stratus]

Starting to doubt I'll ever beat this boss

[trail pagoda]

I wonder what this fella helps me with

[glad stratus]

I hate everything about it

I have to slowly chip away at its health on phase 2 and idk how much health is left because this game doesn't have boss health bars

[slim fjord]

get the ||magma bell ||
and git gud

[glad stratus]

100% sure this game expected me to get every mask shard before getting past fucking moss grotto..

[glad stratus]

Get the what???

[slim fjord]

||get the magma bell and upgrade yer nail and get a mask shard and get traps and other tools||

[glad stratus]

I did upgrade my nail

[slim fjord]

the lil charm that ||protects you from fire ||

[glad stratus]

Where can you find it

[slim fjord]

oh ok good
go get mask shards and SPAM TOOLS

[slim fjord]

||Deep Docks, its sold by the little blacksmith guys||
you do need a shard of iforgotwhatitscalled

[glad stratus]

One of the mask shards cost like 880 rosaries and this game is annoying when it comes to getting rosaries, and the other is behind an enemy gauntlet

Considering the fact I've made too much progress and getting here was already annoying enough and I don't have any rosaries left, I'm going to brute force this boss

[slim fjord]

godspeed lixian

[slim fjord]

fair enough it took me 40 frickin minutes to get 1k rosaries

[glad stratus]

Tempted to just get the invincibility mod for this one fight

[slim fjord]

Do not. It gets significantly harder from this point onward. If you choose the coward's route I will not help you

[queen trench]

alright I made it this far, hopefully I'll be able to complete it now (late act 2)

[glad stratus]

Remember when every enemy dropped geo in HK??

[glad stratus]

Now only like 4 enemy types drop 6 rosaries

[glad stratus]

And saving the game cost rosaries

[glad stratus]

You are supposed to play this game from start to finish no breaks

[slim fjord]

you absolutely are not, bro-

[slim fjord]

those benches are scams

[glad stratus]

EXACTLY who the fuck decided to make saving your game cost in-game currency???

[slim fjord]

saving your position, it autosaves on main menu and automatically

[native turret]

fellow late game players look at this innocent soul

[queen trench]

hehehe (still late act 2)

[slim fjord]

the lack of benches n whatnot is really annoying and tedious but id say getting past those terrible areas is well worth it

[slim fjord]

[glad stratus]

That's why I don't close the game whenever I'm not at a bench and I'm done playing

[native turret]

I am so excited to see him finish ||the songclave quests||

cuz he's doing that rn

[full vale]

lost all muy money

lol

[native turret]

dam

[glad stratus]

There should never be another official hollow Knight game

[glad stratus]

Unless it's about quirrel

[tawdry osprey]

[glad stratus]

Give me my quirrel prequel team cherry......

[storm garnet]

weird glitch with an enemy corpse i just witnessed

[slim fjord]

blasphemy

[glad stratus]

Absolutely terrified of woman

[glad stratus]

Unless it's a quirrel prequel

[slim fjord]

"AahhH oh no non oNON onon onON ono HEELP HHeeellp MEEEE DONT HURT me pleaWUwuws Im just a level 1 lil guy!! pleasee!!"

[storm garnet]

act 2 quest spoiler
||i have the double jump at last, hopefully the courier's rasher will be easier now||

[full vale]

is there a technique to finding any of these

[storm garnet]

google lmao

[glad stratus]

I hate this fucking game

Made with scotch tape and bullshit

[clever furnace]

I just found the most insane rosary farming spot

[glad stratus]

Served on a rusty platter

[slim fjord]

this is why i blocked you

its meant to be difficult

[glad stratus]

You blocked me?

Huh I never noticed

[trail pagoda]

||cidadel?||

[glad stratus]

I guess that's the point of blocking someone 💔💔

[clever furnace]

||near the first shrine, equip thief’s mark and kill the three sentinels, they drop 55 rosaries each and respawn after sitting on a bench||

Also I hate all the discourse surrounding this game can tc just release an easy mode already

[glad stratus]

Type shit

[clever furnace]

There are some mods you can download if you still want to play

[full vale]

</3

[queen trench]

hmmm somebody seems to be ||calling out to me or something|| I wonder who, maybe I'm just imiganining things (late act 2)

[full vale]

ooh?

[full vale]

real

[clever furnace]

A lot of people play with them on there’s no shame in it

[hardy jolt]

found glitch where enemy is immortal :< BW spoilers

[clever furnace]

#1407386303796088832 message

[glad stratus]

Yeah but last time I tried modding I lost all my progress

[full vale]

yeah just read it

[trail pagoda]

ahh yes, I want to do this, I lack the items tho

[full vale]

ok i can already see this puzzle in specific is gonna be unfair

[clever furnace]

Try following a guide for modding and always create a backup

[velvet trench]

Does visiting ||the slab from the citadel stop the jailer guys from spawning? I wanted to do the cool jail break thing but I went to deep docks and greymoor and they aren’t there, I never killed or saw one||

[mellow sigil]

man if you're even struggling with enemy gauntlets to the point of like giving up on them maybe its just not for you

it cant be THAT hard😭

[full vale]

nvm it was easy

[full vale]

it can be that bad

[clever furnace]

People have different skill levels and also some people just aren’t willing to put up with the insane runback

[full vale]

COUGH COUGH COUGH ||cidatel conductor's melody|| COUGH COUGH COUGH

[mellow sigil]

they're entirely shitting on this game for things that I never even heard anyone else struggling with lol

[velvet trench]

Anyone?

[opal totem]

||I think they only stop spawning if you visit it with the apostate key||

[velvet trench]

||hmm I don’t have that||

[clever furnace]

Did you read the part with “different skill levels”

The game can be incredibly annoying sometimes

[mellow sigil]

YOUR low skill doesn't mean that the game is badly designed??? your skill is supposed to grow as it progresses

[clever furnace]

I get that silksong isn’t badly designed entirely but it does have flaws imo

[velvet trench]

Everyone’s skill level is different, no need to be harsh. I personally have struggled with a lot of bosses and arenas, some even taking like 8 hours to beat, and I completely understand ppl not wanting to put that much time into attempts

[full vale]

you aren't supposed to pair every single annoying enemy together in a room the size of an ant

[clever furnace]

Seriously people need chill out about the difficulty of this game

Like seriously I’ve been seeing stuff that borders on ableism with it

[velvet trench]

Mm it’s because there’s quite a big divide from pro hollow knight players who did things like ||beat all pantheons, some even w all bindings|| and ppl who just play silksong casually. A lot of the former ppl seem to…idk look down? On ppl just for struggling with something

[mellow sigil]

I struggled with some parts as well and ofc it has flaws but I just find it a lil rudicilous to call the game shitty because of what you missed and because of your skill

[clever furnace]

Some people need an easy mode or accessibility features. It’s not a cardinal sin to not be incredibly good at a game

[velvet trench]

Incredibly goo 🥹

[mellow sigil]

sometimes there are things that objectively deserve criticism and you struggle with because of bad design and sometimes there are things that were intented, you're just not paying enough attention yourself, or missed something, or didnt explore enough

[serene oxide]

is being able to enter ||the citadel through bilewater|| a flaw or an intended way

alternate way

[storm garnet]

act 2 quest soiler
for fucks sake

[full vale]

putting all of the annoying enemies in the same room, even if intended, should be an executable offense, fuck you team cherrt

[serene oxide]

genuinely made my skin crawl the first time i failed it

[mellow sigil]

Im not saying that its a cardinal sin its okay to be bad at something😭😭😭😭😭 I find it dumb to blame it on the game ESPECIALLY if objectively its not the game's fault

(even though ofc silksong has flaws)

[clever furnace]

That wasn’t aimed at you I meant some people treat it like that

[atomic lintel]

steel soul exclusive content spoiler

steel soul exclusive content spoiler

pretty interesting

[clever furnace]

How much steel soul exclusive content is there? I just started my run is it easy to encounter?

[atomic lintel]

its uh

post citadel pretty much?

not exactly

[velvet trench]

Hmm yeah I’ve just ||re entered, benched, re entered the deep docks and greymoor jailer rooms a ton of times and no spawns. Ig just visiting the slab is enough to stop them, shame…now I gotta get the key ||

[clever furnace]

So after act 2

[atomic lintel]

you can start the wish in act 1 you just wont be able to finish it until like

late act 2 probably

or mid act 2

[clever furnace]

Oooo there’s new wishes? Interesting

||Act 3|| is insanely hard lmao

also the item that makes you save more rosaries on death is replaced with this Steel Soul early item spoiler i guess

[hollow laurel]

I think it has to do with a newer update for discord because I never have that issue

[storm garnet]

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Act 2

[atomic lintel]

kind of wish this was in the normal run

its so good...

[glad stratus]

Love how the version of silksong I have (the one in GOG galaxy) just cannot be modded no matter how hard I try

[full vale]

wait why do the ||pink balls from the gay ass moth|| deal 2 damage

[glad stratus]

At least not automatically

[velvet trench]

Idk but I hate him

[digital robin]

There are a few a decent farming spot that gets || arround 150 rosaries/cycle, but is a bit hard (you can die if you are not careful)||

[velvet trench]

Oh m cool do you know abt this at all?

[trail pagoda]

im farming in a safe route that I did, pretty solid also

[digital robin]

Yes, I know

the answer is ||That I visited the first room of the Slab, and found jailors later (at the exit of Greymoor bell station, when going to the bar)||

[velvet trench]

Hmm did you bench ||at the slab? Cause I did…||

[trail pagoda]

should I donate to ||first shrine|| or ||bellhart( I might get my house with this one)||

[atomic lintel]

hm i wonder what ill get Steel Soul npc replacement spoiler ig

[full vale]

yeah same

[atomic lintel]

ah, 53 rosaries

[full vale]

i only love gay people when they don't deal 2 damage with every single thing they do

[digital robin]

||The top of the Slab has a one way-lever I think, so you need to be jailed to acces that area and get a few things||

[tawdry osprey]

crazy

[digital robin]

It's probably just random

and you are getting (un)lucky

[velvet trench]

||yeah ik that’s why i wanna get jailed, i went down the bottom part tho and benched there cause i went to mount fay||

[hollow laurel]

Most hours I’ve put into a game in a week ever

[trail pagoda]

might just get my ||little house||

[velvet trench]

Hopefully

[tawdry osprey]

after release yeah

but in a single week i actually did like 180 hours in a week on my gd era

[hollow laurel]

Wow lol

[tawdry osprey]

yeah that game consumes

[tawdry osprey]

wait no

[hollow laurel]

Next team cherry release I will have the foresight to take an entire week off

[tawdry osprey]

thats in 2 weeks so its half the time

90 hours

[glad stratus]

Why does thunderstore think that's there's only one version of silksong??

[velvet trench]

Average of 12-13 hours a day 🥹

[hollow laurel]

Oh did the update drop today?

[tawdry osprey]

played that game too much... theres a reason i have 5k hours

[glad stratus]

Wdym?

[hollow laurel]

???

[glad stratus]

I'm talking about wanting to mod silksong

[hollow laurel]

Yeah

[glad stratus]

What update

I think that was sep 7th or something

[hardy jolt]

how good is ||flintslate + pollip pouch compared to regular flintslate ||

[tawdry osprey]

didnt try, but it removes the flame effect

just poison

[storm garnet]

ok genuinely how the fuck are you meant to do this shit

literally just worse ||delicate flower||

[hollow laurel]

So the question would be ||what’s better? Flame or poison?||

[full vale]

you aren't, like everything in this stupid game

[storm garnet]

||run into a wall accidentally and its over||

is there any ||tool that prevents it from rotting?||

[hollow laurel]

||Don’t run into walls and don’t get hit, you can generally afford one or two hits||

[glad stratus]

"Silksong is launching via steam" I DON'T HAVE STEAM VERSION 💔💔

[velvet trench]

Do you have the ||anklets? Those might help a bit||

[storm garnet]

yes

[slim fjord]

huh

[glad stratus]

Trying to mod to make the game more enjoyable

[storm garnet]

imo they need to nerf this quest

[velvet trench]

Mm the ||timer seems very unfair, it’s a,ready a challenging journey||

[atomic lintel]

have you tried the exhaust organ path

[full vale]

finally

[hollow laurel]

|| i think it would be fine if the timer was more forgiving||

[full vale]

i hate this stupid ||gay moth|| guy

[hollow laurel]

That does not sound better

[atomic lintel]

it is

[storm garnet]

itd also be nice if ||every enemy didnt do 500 masks of damage and will nuke the rasher||

[full vale]

also

[atomic lintel]

it took me 2 attempts

[slim fjord]

so you decided to ruin the game for yourself because of a boss?-

[full vale]

does anyone thingk the uhhh, ||robots guys were like, really cool and stuff|

does it like

get better

[storm garnet]

what he fuck is the ||exhaust organ||

[digital robin]

I did it today ||you can get hit 3 times and if you are fast enought still do it (as long as you no-hit / get hit once is not too bad) if you have all powerups. If not, yea quite a bit harder||

[glad stratus]

I'm not ruining the game for myself 💔

Just wanting to enjoy it the way I want t enjoy it

With some simple qol mods

[velvet trench]

I’m starting to think that I’m not just getting unlucky bc I have ||re entered the rooms and benched, or quit like 40 times now and nothing…it seems really cool I don’t wanna be locked out of it ||

[full vale]

oh this boss is useless

[digital robin]

Usless?

[atomic lintel]

also keep in mind you can clear every non beast enemy on the path for the quest and just not sit on a bench so they never respawn lol

[storm garnet]

i orgot about that

[full vale]

yes

[atomic lintel]

that was like the strat for theeee flower in HK

[full vale]

useless

[atomic lintel]

the flower in HK took me more attempts though

because movement there is way more restricted and you had literally 0 chance at mistake

[digital robin]

I usally commit 1 mistake in courier quests

is not as strict as flowerquest which makes it a lot less annoying

[glad stratus]

I'll just have to give up enjoying playing silksong

[icy basin]

i think you are allowed 2 masks of damage before the remaining time's too short

maybe 3 if you really push it

[digital robin]

I did it with 3 (having one hit)

[icy basin]

damn

[digital robin]

With the ||silk sprint trinket|| you are barelly fast enought

[icy basin]

oh damn i forgor about that thing

[atomic lintel]

i think i only got hit once in my final attempt

and i had like almost 2 nodes left

[digital robin]

#1407386303796088832 message

[trail pagoda]

time to farm rosaries for usefull things now

[digital robin]

useless*

[tawdry osprey]

useful...

thats the best use

[mellow sigil]

this game's difficulty actually relies a lot on your movements
the reason why so many enemies deal double dmg for example is because Hornet can escape more damage if you're abusing her movement abilities enough
for example, you know that she can ||sprint right?? also jump out of her sprint, attack from sprint (even two times in a row!)||

[trail pagoda]

NEVER

[glad stratus]

I know all that, attacking out of sprint just gets me hit

[icy basin]

slep

[digital robin]

Most enemies can be dealt with sprint attack + dash back or ||Grapple into them + sprint back||. 2 masks punish reckless behaviour. Also if you do 1 damage, just 8 hits vs 3 damage would get you to max HP again

[mellow sigil]

the ||basic, starting crest|| is also a little bit hard to use imo, maybe it wouldve been easier for you to use the ||beast crest (cant remember how exactly its called) or the wanderers crest, this ones is literally just the same hollow knight knight's movement haha||

[trail pagoda]

aura farming

[digital robin]

||Beast is bad, Maybe you mean Reaper||

[glad stratus]

I have every ||Crest||

[mellow sigil]

yeah I also think that most enemies can be dealt by just hitting and sprinting
and also pogo sticking on them haha

[mellow sigil]

hhhmm probably?? I mean the one|| that makes a very heavy and slow hit downwards||

[digital robin]

Yea

that one

[mellow sigil]

its just KINDA early-game so thats why Im suggesting it

oh alright

[mellow sigil]

and are you like. Using them?...

[digital robin]

||Beast is the one that sends you super far in a weird arc, and has weird healing mechanics, Reaper is the slow but strong poggo + decent range at the cost of less hitbox||

[trail pagoda]

I feel touched

[mellow sigil]

oh btw im probably just kinda dumb but I only realised that you can|| expand your crests slots with memory lockets towards the very end of act 1😭||

[glad stratus]

||reaper for last judge, because of the hitboxes and silk gain||

[icy basin]

what ||crest do u have vro 😭||

[glad stratus]

All of them

All 3

Or well all 4 if we wanna include the first one

[mellow sigil]

I feel like ||the wanderers is better for last judge but if it worked for you than yeah alright:P||

[glad stratus]

||what makes wanderer better exactly?||

[icy basin]

||reaper is so good tho tf you mean you hate it||

[glad stratus]

Its slow

[icy basin]

also ||wanderer|| is kinda mid and ||beast|| actually suck

[glad stratus]

Don't let bro play the original hollow Knight 😭

[icy basin]

ehhh i can see that but the downslash is prob one of the best

[glad stratus]

The entire moveset... Is ||wanderer crest||.....

[icy basin]

i've beaten p5

i know

[mellow sigil]

||the window where you can hit the last judge from above is very tiny so its better for the downward hit to be fast and rapid methinks
you might just be late with reapers||

[icy basin]

||why would i buy silksong||

||just to play hollow knight again||

i

[digital robin]

Being slow is good, it means if you time correctly you have more time to think where to go next btw, at worst you take a hit but stay in the air due to big range

[tawdry osprey]

not really

its way shorter range

[icy basin]

i honestly prefer ||hunter crest|| more cuz at least it feels more unique

[digital robin]

||Wanderer is less range but quickslash||

[glad stratus]

||the increased gain in silk after binding with reaper lets me use my silkspear ability more often after healing||

[digital robin]

Hunter is nice if you know what you are doing due to how fast the pogo is

[icy basin]

yea

[digital robin]

it allow to relocate, but if you mistime the distance is over, also it's just a bit too short and sometimes you pogo a bit to high, that is why I preper Hunter 2.0 (||Mech||)

[mellow sigil]

well alright than ||Im not saying that the wanderers is required or 100% better it just works a lil better for me I suppose||

[icy basin]

ngl i just use ||reaper|| and ||two other act 2 crests||

[digital robin]

||Reaper is the best if you don't need anything special||, ||Upgraded Hunter and Mech are my other mains. Wanderer seems fine if you want to risk it with good reaction times and Beast is the early game one that is kinda bad||

[glad stratus]

||there's more???||

[icy basin]

||i mean you didnt really get the achievement for getting all crests did you||

[glad stratus]

||Welp, my urge to get all of them has ignited my determination to kick this bosses ass||

[icy basin]

||waiting for fireborn to beat the entire game with beast crest whilst being chased by 10000 primal asphids||

[digital robin]

Which bossa re you fighting now?

[queen trench]

||there are three locations in which a jailer spawns if you've either killed them or already been captured they don't spawn, however you can access every area in the slab even without being captured you just need the apostate key|| the locations: ||in deep docks near the entrance to hunter's march you need the wall climb; in bilewater somewhere on the lower right you can go up in a room where there's some enemies including the jailer; in greymoor after you beat the fly thing right outside the station||

[digital robin]

||For escaping quickly without fighting it may actually be good||, ||but it's skill floor is too high for what it gives usually, is better to wait for someone to be bellow you and punish with horizontal or diagonal parries||

[velvet trench]

||I have been to all of those spots but bile water, I never saw or killed one, nor have I been captured before. And I re entered the rooms and benched a ton of times to see if was random but nothing. Ik about the key but I really wanna do the jailbreak, it sounds so fun||

[mellow sigil]

I really like ||the wanderers crest|| but it is like very simple and basic

maybe Im just still too deep in hollow knight.......

[icy basin]

||"escaping quickly without fighting" proceeds to downslash into spikes cuz you cant aim with that thing||

[digital robin]

You mention him

[trail pagoda]

iirc it has smth like a crit

[digital robin]

HE probably know how to do it, but like I said is too bad for no good reason

[trail pagoda]

me personally I dont like it as much[

[mellow sigil]

oh yeah but It works a lik weirdly thats nit really the mechanic I abused much

[storm garnet]

ok i literally got the quest done first try after clearing the enemies lmao

[trail pagoda]

I use ||reaper crest|| even tho I get hit more than I would like to

cuz I dont like to be so close to enemies as ||wanderer crest|| makes you

[storm garnet]

they are delightful, bugs are delightful
act 2 quest spoiler

[trail pagoda]

also I need ||memory lockets|| cuz no blue slots

[mellow sigil]

I just like how fast it is and its very convenient for the platforming!!

though yeah the low range was a bit of an issue for me

[trail pagoda]

I will need to try to get ||witch crest||

looks good

[queen trench]

might be some kind of glitch then, idk

[atomic lintel]

chance for critical hits

[queen trench]

I'm just using the base ||crest||

wait critical hits are a thing in this game?

[atomic lintel]

for wanderer crest

[tawdry osprey]

all crests are good and viable... except the ||BEAST CREST||

[velvet trench]

Im guessing its bc I visited ||the slab omw to mount fay, and benched there. Which is dumb imo, if that locks you out then they should just have a scripted encounter w one there instead of just preventing you from experiencing it…especially since I found the slab pretty early into act 2 not long after I had gotten to the citadel so I hadn’t gone back to previous areas to do other things||

[queen trench]

also I got on top of here, what is here (act 2)

[atomic lintel]

once we get bossrush the speedrun meta crests will probably be beast/wanderer

you just cant compete with their DPS

[queen trench]

nope, I that too and they still appeared

[velvet trench]

[digital robin]

Can't ||updated hunter work also?||

[gleaming badger]

(slight spoilers for a late late game boss) LOL I SAW THIS COMMENT ON A VIDEO AJFKDJKHH

[velvet trench]

I’ll go to the spot in ||bile water and hope there’s one there ig||

[tawdry osprey]

dskjsdakjsdak WHAT BOSS

[digital robin]

Technically we are in a NO RAINWORLD Channel Magica

[gleaming badger]

||bell eater||

[clever furnace]

Does anyone know if silksong has a dream gate equivalent?

[atomic lintel]

you gotta no hit in that case

[digital robin]

||I imagine it was him XD||

[slim fjord]

naur

[tawdry osprey]

actually makes sense lol

[queen trench]

this is the spot

[atomic lintel]

||beast DPS is just too busted,the only bosses it probably struggles on is on ones that teleport/move around alot where you cant keep slashing more than once at a time||

[glad stratus]

||the more I play Last judge the more I realize the path isn't really that long||

[tawdry osprey]

found the best silksong mod

[gleaming badger]

peak

[clever furnace]

Great day for masochists

[gleaming badger]

i cant figure out how to rip the assets for silksong (i just wanna look at the sprite sheets </3)

maybe ill try a different unity asset ripper

[tawdry osprey]

nooo stop rippinh apart silksong

[digital robin]

Modders are each day more and more casual... Back in my day ||mods added 12 mask damage (Radiant mode)||

[tawdry osprey]

well... theyll add that by tomorrow at this pace

[clever furnace]

…why would you add that when steel soul exists…?

[gleaming badger]

how tf do silksong mods work, are they using a modified mod loader that they used for hk?

[atomic lintel]

its funny how underpowered reaper is compared to wanderer/hunter

[digital robin]

I remember a "half-joke" about how Silksong is super hard and the devs took note... So in the 1st update they added a code to ||unlock steel soul mode without finishing the game (even harder)||

[clever furnace]

Don’t diss reaper like that

[clever furnace]

Also how is it weaker?

[atomic lintel]

like, reaper's entire gimmick is ||giving you more silk, yet both wanderer and beast swing so much faster they get ALOT more silk||

[digital robin]

||Reaper gimmick is being range and a really easy to connect Poggo, silk is an aftertough||

[clever furnace]

Does reaper have increased damage?

[atomic lintel]

its good for newbies because of its long range but thats about it

[atomic lintel]

nope

[clever furnace]

I think it could be good if it had increased damage

Most games balance out slow swings with higher damage

[digital robin]

Reaper is slow but high range

[atomic lintel]

it could be good if it's extra silk mechanic was actually good

[digital robin]

Naaa it wouldn't be a good idea

[clever furnace]

Yeah the silk it gives is super low

[tawdry osprey]

its good because range is broken

also sprinted attack is good

[atomic lintel]

its like.....||20% bonus silk only during that little status it gives you after you focus???||

[clever furnace]

Give me infinite silk reaper that would be peak

[digital robin]

||33%||

[atomic lintel]

cant combo it into dive on some quicker bosses

[clever furnace]

Yeah and you have to actually hit an enemy to spawn silk

[atomic lintel]

||AND you have to pick it up.||

||meanwhile, wanderer just slashes at double or more than double the speed, AND has random crits built in||

[digital robin]

The thing with the silk is that if you can get to full with 1 heal and have enought silk meter for 1 spell you could spam spells all the time and just heal again repeating and repeating

[queen trench]

if you do it right you can get all the silk back

[tawdry osprey]

but shit range

so its worse

[atomic lintel]

range really isnt as necesarry in silksong as it is in HK

[digital robin]

Range is more important

[atomic lintel]

except for like.

flying enemies

[clever furnace]

Me when I lie

[digital robin]

since a lot of enemies have projectiles and umpredictable stuff so you need to keep your distance

[clever furnace]

You forget like half of the enemies are flying in the most annoying way possible

[digital robin]

specially horizontal range that is when you can spam quickslashes

[atomic lintel]

also reaper is a bit bad for parrying

because of how slow it is

[digital robin]

1 mistake is 2 masks meaning needing to heal now ||or sooner if you heal 4||

[atomic lintel]

you pretty much cant parry multiple attacks in a row

[clever furnace]

Range helps projectiles as well because you can hit them

[atomic lintel]

which you can with wanderer

[clever furnace]

How often do you use wanderer?

[atomic lintel]

all the time

[digital robin]

Also that, Reaper made a certain ||ring-thrower|| boss a lot easier since I was parrying most attack just by being far away and slashing constantly the projectile

[atomic lintel]

i use hunter too sometimes because of the diagonal dive

[clever furnace]

Out of interest do you use any range increasers

[digital robin]

||Any? Are there more than the claw from the kill enemies with tools quest?||

[clever furnace]

Idk

[atomic lintel]

my true ending boss build was this Fully Maxed Crest Spoilers

[gleaming badger]

||LETS GO GAMBLINGGG|| /silly

[atomic lintel]

the amount of damage you can get in during staggers with wanderer is insane

especially if you get lucky with a crit

[clever furnace]

Are you gonna attempt a 100% steel soul run

[atomic lintel]

probably not

i only really did it to check out the steel soul exclusive content

and to replay some cool bosses

[gleaming badger]

oh how was steel soul?

[atomic lintel]

i hate lava

🥹

[digital robin]

Lava doesn't move, acording to you your wanderer should be able to kill it in an instant

[atomic lintel]

it is unkillable unfortunately

[clever furnace]

Did u know you can kill ||maggots||

[digital robin]

Which ones?

There are a lot of ||worm-like creatures||

[clever furnace]

The ||annoying ones in the water of bilewater||

[atomic lintel]

i love silk

[glad stratus]

I love song

[digital robin]

First we Silk and then we So||ul||

[tawdry osprey]

You trolled me…

[gleaming badger]

yeah i found that out while i was filling out my hunters journal

oh speaking of...

(48 now)

[clever furnace]

I found it while throwing random ||tools at groal||

[tawdry osprey]

Only steel soul and speedrun left now

Good luck

[atomic lintel]

anyway imo range isnt as necesarry in silksong as in hollow knight because you have so much more mobility to engage and disengage with enemies

[gleaming badger]

sob

[atomic lintel]

you can keep spamming sprint attacks on an enemy over and over

[clever furnace]

Oh wow are you going for 100%?

[atomic lintel]

in HK chasing for enemies/bosses was an actual chore cause you were sloooooooowww

even with dashing

[tawdry osprey]

Most achievements in this game aren’t that bad

[atomic lintel]

so range was reallyyyy good

[tawdry osprey]

It’s not like hk

[clever furnace]

[tawdry osprey]

I said most

Not all

[digital robin]

The nefarious 100% speedrun

[clever furnace]

||Act 3 is proving a challenge for me ||

[gleaming badger]

kinda, but i will probably try in a month or so, im silk songed out

[digital robin]

Fun fact, I got Speedrun + Steel Soul in HK together

[clever furnace]

Honestly most of hollow knights achievements weren’t that bad

[digital robin]

I doubt I can do the same here XD

[clever furnace]

Same lol

[clever furnace]

Good luck, you’ll need it

[gleaming badger]

scary default assets... huh

thank you unity

w-why are there 15 iterations of the same image

[clever furnace]

I really don’t like that far right one

[digital robin]

||Act 1 | Act 2 | Act 2 (after melody) | Act 3||

[clever furnace]

Am I the only one who’s brain is bursting with both rain world and hollow knight lore and theories

I’m struggling to keep up…

[gleaming badger]

no

[icy basin]

the far right one is me after ||the hunters march bench||

[atomic lintel]

||https://youtu.be/Rw4pHkHqaVc?si=jQAA4LeBPk8ykqOF|| post game spoiler watch this if you dont believe in wanderer crest

its so peak

parrying with quickslash

is peak

[glad stratus]

are we deadass 💔

[glad stratus]

I just got hit by everything 💔💔

[atomic lintel]

also

magnetite dice increases the chance of wanderer crit by 10%

[clever furnace]

Magnet dice my beloved

[atomic lintel]

its so busted

[glad stratus]

I didn't get manget dice..

Because I'm poor

[atomic lintel]

sob

[clever furnace]

||Rip to that guy but it’s saved my life so many times ||

[glad stratus]

I gambled it all away

[atomic lintel]

happened to me on first playthrough

got it way later though

[clever furnace]

||Wait you can buy it||

||Dude like half of my stuff comes from dead people lmao||

[glad stratus]

Over 250 rosaries gone due to my gambling addiction

[glad stratus]

Quirrel would be pleased

[clever furnace]

||I’m still sad I didn’t get to speak with The ant salesman ||

[atomic lintel]

ill try the true ending boss with beast crest

perhaps

[queen trench]

rest in peace (act 2)

[atomic lintel]

it only having 2 yellow slots is so fucked

[hardy jolt]

||wait ngl i kinda feel bad for stealing all his money he was nice ||

[clever furnace]

Gotta love discord messing with the spoilers right as silksong comes out

[atomic lintel]

trolling

[gleaming badger]

wait huh ||does this happen after you buy everything from them or smth, i never had them die||

[queen trench]

yeah

[foggy grotto]

NOT EVEN CLOSE REST IN PISS BITCH

hated this guy

[slim fjord]

serves you right

[clever furnace]

The music was really just adding insult to injury

[glad stratus]

Fuck you too 😭

[clever furnace]

Dude chill

[digital robin]

Act 3 ||Poor Director, he was obviously at their limit and THE THING finished him off||

[foggy grotto]

I think I heard the track loop at least 3 times during the fight

[clever furnace]

The fight is just so obnoxiously long

[foggy grotto]

||ALL THAT FOR A FUCKING CREST??||

nah I'm pissed

I just got scammed

[digital robin]

About that...

[gleaming badger]

oh my pccCCCCCC (it just froze trying to rip assets)

[clever furnace]

Get used to it

Bosses don’t give good rewards

[gleaming badger]

idk if its owrking but its working hard

[clever furnace]

Like 90% of the time anyway

[clever furnace]

I love how to achievement is called “tragico”

[digital robin]

||I love how he has one of the most "overdramatic" deaths, and if you peek after leaving the inmediat area he is already going up and ready to leave when noone is looking||

[gleaming badger]

the files finally loaded...

that took way longer and killed my pc so i hope it actually did something instead of returning "unreadable asset"

IT WORRRKEDD

i have the pngs...

[foggy grotto]

I might be cooked

I was in fact cooked

WAIT IT RESPAWNS ME HERE

I'M SOFT LOCKED

HELP

[queen trench]

why are you soft locked?

[foggy grotto]

||you need silk to use harpoon||

||I have no silk and no way of obtaining it||

||only way to move through the room is harpoon||

[queen trench]

also unfortunately myu controller b button seems to be "sticking" or something, so either I have to clean it out a bit or it needs a replacement part, either way I'll have to fiddle around with it a bit before I can continue silksong

[foggy grotto]

||I respawn on this platform when I die||

[queen trench]

don't you have a ||silk heart?||

[vagrant crane]

You uhh
Have enough silk with regen from the silk heart you got all the way back when you fought ||bell beast||

[velvet trench]

||silk hearts passive regen gives you enough||

[slim fjord]

please tell me you have ||silk heart|| ketchup

[foggy grotto]

...

where is it?

in the inventory

I don't see it

[slim fjord]

it passively gives you silk i think

[velvet trench]

How did you skip ||silk heart|| what, did u fight ||bell beast?||

[slim fjord]

youmighthavetorestartyourplaythrough

[velvet trench]

Nah

[foggy grotto]

yeah I did

I must have not picked it up or something

[slim fjord]

some MENACE is gonna play through the game without ever using fast travel

[digital robin]

||No, silk heart 1 is obtained early on but is after a boss||

[foggy grotto]

wait

I'm smart

[digital robin]

||Maybe widow?||

[velvet trench]

You have it I’m sure

[foggy grotto]

I have a ||silk bug thing||

that should give me silk I think

[slim fjord]

nono that doesnt give silk

[digital haven]

dont

[velvet trench]

Let,e get a ss of where silk heart is in inv

Okay so you know ||the wheel with ur movement abilities on the main inv screen, on the left? There’s 3 dots under the middle section showing ur silk hearts||

[digital haven]

first silk heart is bell beast, second is very late act 2

[foggy grotto]

ok no I do have one

I found it

[velvet trench]

Nice

[vagrant crane]

ok, I need to go grind rosaries. I have done everything I can find|| in act 2||, so throw me any methods you know of please

[velvet trench]

Prob not the most efficient way but I just go to ||grand bellway station, bench, kill the two bugs in the next room and repeat||

[vagrant crane]

Thanks

The goal is to afford the ||rosary gathering items grindle sells|| and then go from there tbh

[digital robin]

Welcome back ||Arcane Egg||

[clever furnace]

Go to ||the first shrine, equip thief’s mark and kill the sentinels||

||they drop 55 rosaries each with thiefs crest||

[vagrant crane]

||Don't have the thief's mark, but I plan on getting it in the middle of my grind||

[velvet trench]

Those r annoying and kinda slow to kill tbh

[clever furnace]

Not if you get the rhythm right

[hardy jolt]

garama!!

[clever furnace]

And for 55 rosaries? Absolutely not

[clever furnace]

||It’s much faster than killing the two at the bottom of the citadel ||

[vagrant crane]

No they're not. They're fun and engaging to fight

[clever furnace]

||Even without the thief’s crest they drop 33 each||

[velvet trench]

I could easily kill the bugs by || grand bellway|| 3 times in the time it takes to kill one of those, and those bugs drop ~35 per run

[clever furnace]

Yeah I mean if you struggle with them then it would be faster

But I’d highly recommend trying to learn their movements

||Especially for farming, just dump all of your silk spells on them||

[velvet trench]

Ik them it’s just slower

[foggy grotto]

ok yippee I escaped

[clever furnace]

It’s more the fact you have to run all the way back to respawn them

[velvet trench]

It’s v fast

[digital robin]

Finally, one piece of dialogue that says that Silksong is ||almost surely a sequel (some said may be before HK)|| <- Lore spoiler

[velvet trench]

It was confirmed to be a sequel ages ago, it says so in the steam description

[digital robin]

Yea, but is good to mention in-game

[velvet trench]

I mean I’ve seen quite a lot of dialogue that hints at it tbh, like ||hornet saying smth along the lines of she’s witnessed several gods falling||

[digital robin]

Her's dad is one of them, and also originally the Radiance was tough to have fallen (twice). But yea

[foggy grotto]

I have found ||4 soul/silk vessels|| since I last found a ||mask shard||

this game ||hates mask shards||

[velvet trench]

So real, my record was 6 🥹

[digital robin]

||Yea, silk are not too common early game, but in late game they are surprisingly common||

||I found a home-telescope that "allow to look far away" in probably the most remote area LMAO||

[hardy jolt]

love how you can see its corpse from in here

[digital robin]

||Yea, it really got splash all over the room and the one bellow XD||

What are you doing now Err?

Didn't you finished already or is that another person?

[hardy jolt]

steel soul

[queen trench]

you don't, there are 5 and on the opposite end you can ||bench at the high halls||

also with ||2 needle oil upgrades|| the farming there isn't difficult or slow at all

very fast

(directed at chiki not owl attack)

[atomic lintel]

what do you mean you have no silk

you have a silk heart

[clever furnace]

In some miraculous way they managed to miss it

I still don’t know how

[atomic lintel]

you would literally have to

[digital robin]

Who gives the 1st silk heart again?

[atomic lintel]

not get fast travel

ever

[clever furnace]

Yup

[digital robin]

Can you even progress, doesn't that spot required to progress to the next area?

[hollow laurel]

[clever furnace]

[queen trench]

[hardy jolt]

||bell beast||

[queen trench]

[hollow laurel]

[hardy jolt]

[hollow laurel]

[clever furnace]

[clever furnace]

Do you know you can save and quit to avoid death or are you against doing that

[queen trench]

[hardy jolt]

[hollow laurel]

uhhhhhhhhhh.... crazy ultra spoilers

[grizzled spoke]

how peak is this ||(skipping last judge)||

[hollow laurel]

this game is something

[hollow laurel]

and also ||that arcane egg...||

[digital robin]

Everyone does 2 damage? What would be next... 3 damage?
The humble Australian dev team:

[grizzled spoke]

hornet dies so easily in hk because she takes two damage there too

[digital robin]

she has this on already, it's doing 3 damage per nail-hit

[hollow laurel]

||its double...||

oh nvm

[digital robin]

||I want an update to overcharm so we can have the mythical 6 mask attack||

[tawdry osprey]

It does 4.

[grizzled spoke]

not so peak anymore nvm

[hollow laurel]

||yeah that tool is so funny :)||

[tawdry osprey]

I actually used that one for ||trobbio, was funny oneshoting the boss as it one shot me||

[atomic lintel]

i used it for grinding rosaries

[hollow laurel]

||TROBBIO!!!!||

[grizzled spoke]

[hardy jolt]

||look above chakra||

[hollow laurel]

||doesnt that wall look funny||

[grizzled spoke]

what a painful path huh

[hardy jolt]

a path of.......

[grizzled spoke]

ache

[hollow laurel]

oh cool ||a new ability :)||

[grizzled spoke]

died near the end, back to ||midway home ||ig

[velvet trench]

Oh huh ||Garmond and zaza can help u in the high halls arena? I heard it was shakra, can both help you? ||

[tawdry osprey]

Wow how did you do that

[velvet trench]

Idk he just showed up, ig I found him ||in various spots throughout the citadel?||

[tawdry osprey]

Well that’s good lol it might be way easier now

[velvet trench]

I also did a ||duel with him||

[tawdry osprey]

||I want to learn how so I can use him for steel soul eventually, guess I’ll search it||

[tawdry osprey]

I didn’t know about that, where?

[velvet trench]

Yk the ||path just below songclave in whispering vaults? It leads to a silk spool I think, and there’s also a flea top right, he was along that path and after I helped him he offered to do a duel||

[tawdry osprey]

I didn’t find that, I’m noting this

[velvet trench]

I thought u got 100%? Wouldn’t those items be required?
