it will probably be very repurposed than I imagine
Im sure the additional content they're making will be great either way
yes!! 
free update implies the existence of a paid update
and thinking about it
victoria 2 DLCs do kind of partially fit being paid updates
they do add a lot of new content
but there are also a bunch of bugfixes and qol features that are specific to the DLCs for some reason
arent all dlcs just paid updates
the most notorious example being Yellow Prussia
Updates are sequential, DLCs aren't 
You can play Watcher without Downpour
ture
what makes them dlcs methinks if that they're completely additional and optional
ouh Randi already said it

Victoria 2 makes defining DLCs rigidly a bit more difficult in this regard too though
There are two major DLCs, and the second DLC requires the first DLC
the Victoria 2 major DLCs are basically paid updates 
gn silksongers 
gn mae :3 
Isaac does the same thing
If you want the Online Co-op mode (Repentance +, a free update) you need Repentance (pay DLC 3) which require Afterbirth + (pay DLC 2) which require Afterbirth (pay DLC 1) and the base game
They're just paid updates basically
most of the time the final boss being locked behind needing to beat the previous update final boss to reach him in each run (or unlock a new pathway)
i dont know about anyone who plays isaac without dlcs just because of that
You either try the base game and maybe buy all DLCs later or buy all DLCs
i bought all directly
oh wait true
and those dlcs arent even actually additional isaac is like a completely different game without them
I bought them all at once as well once I had the money to buy tboi in general....
Isaac is a bit of a weird case since Roguelikes like them tend to have hard areas always hidden behind "easier" ones, and as such if you want a new one you usually add it after a previous one that may had been the harder one of the previous DLC
either that or an entirely new "quest / path"
which it also does XD
since Repentance was a true DLC (a mod that added a bunch of new unrelated stuff)
Have you completed Act 1?
16
17
1
Yes
94% Completed Act 1 before Watcher 1.5? 
You know what? ||sends you to bilewater boss||
I can first try it now with a decent build. I did it in both my speedrun and steel soul run
(Phantom)
||She’s technically a bilewater boss
||
How shakra feels after filling out one room and giving you the map
TECHNICALLY shes an ||exhaust organ|| boss :3
is that a silksong mod
how can I defeat ||lost lace|| when im on the verge of tears because of the boss theme
/silly
quick question
||which crest should I use for act 3 + how should I build it?||
||I think any crest is good depends on your preferred playstyle||
||I completed almost the entirety of act 3 with architects but I just really like it
||
Ive used ||hunter the whole game and am still using it||, so yeah completely depends on ur playstyle
||shaman|| is my 2nd fav, great for damage
cool one
what boss would we consider the most difficult in the game currently
honestly I might put my money on ||skaarsinger carmelita||, although ||lost lace|| is pretty tough
Imo ||lost lace||
||lost lace took me longer than skaarsinger but second place is skaarsinger for me||
I found the difference between ||skaarsinger|| taking me a whole day vs ||nyleth and khann|| being first-tries pretty comical
at least ||nyleth has seth and khann has the arenas, I suppose||
i would agree the hardest ones are those two by a margin
its so noticeable the diference between thos and the others
the ||shakra|| duel is up there for me, actually
i didnt find it because the game never tells you about it 🥹
not quite on that same tier but it's a tough one
i never got to experience it
||the little circle thingy on a pole is sitting right in front of bellhart, so if you pass by the area you'll probably notice it||
i dont usually go to that area anyways tho
next time i went theres ||was in act 3 after the map change, before that i didnt have any reason to go back there||
Explore
ive explored every area aside from like 2
i think the last 4 are either in ||Bilewater...|| or sold by merchants
why not explore those 2
||Did you find the Secret Bench to respawn closer?||
||also, second tip- when it does the glob spit attack you can get under it and land a bunch of upswings relatively risk-free||
||the boss itself is easy its the enemies before that get me||
no, where is it?-
||Top left is the boss arena||
cool thanks
its funny everyones mentioning ||lost lace as the answer to the hardest boss question cus Im currently still struggling with her||
Im gonna do it though!!! eventually
probably
its that time again
||I didnt attempt Karmelita much yet wonder how much she will take me||
you used the ||conjointed heart to go to lost lace?||
yk you lost a ||memento||
whatevs
||robot yaoi|| is peak
maybe on another playthrough
No
That one becomes it
It’s just the extra one
||Which heart do you think makes the best memento||
||Conjointed||
and it begins
da big 3
||birb, spooder, and unholy abomination foreign from any god||
now its time to ||ascend to the surface||
alright chat speculation time
what do you think will be the focus of the Silksong Content Expansions™
I think... ||Maybe more stuff like lost verdania? Exploring a dream realm seems like it has a lot of potential.||
my pipe dream is still a ||playable Act 3 postgame. Act 4, even||
obviously ||the coral tower|| isn't the last we've seen of the ||Crusty Kingdom||
i love playable postgames
it's why i love downpour campaigns
||It's considered 'cut content' for now, but yea that's one of the main things I expect to see from my first idea of more playable dream realms||
Something similar to pantheons, and I’d also like smth like dream bosses? Yk, harder versions of regular bosses. Idk what the reward for doing them would be tho, since it’s essence in HK
remember, this is a <@&981421790339403807> channel
cant go into detail
and I'm so glad I didn't!
i loove chainsaw man
anyway, as you were saying about content expansions you wanted to see, @barren ingot
what do you imagine that being like
||No More Annoying Void Enemies™, some new quests about rebuilding the presumably struggling-to-rebuild population, etc. I understand that lore-wise it wouldn't make sense for certain enemy types to still be aggressive, but that's on team cherry to figure out.||
||also hornet and lace can hold hands||
i dunno if hornet's the type to ||help rebuild a population||
maybe ||no more haunting|| is good enough for her
FUCKING FINALLY

dont tell me the ||journal completion (thus hunter memento) counts for 100% of the game||
Nah
none of the ||memontos|| count for a ℅
thank god
Hunters one only gives an achievement
then im assuming Im only missing tools
Probably do you have ||far sight?||
yeah
im missing 9
3 red, 5 blue and 1 yellow
Mmm do you have the ones from the ants?
Theres also some breakable walls in GM
idk what reds I might be missing, I know 2 blues
You can send a screenshot ig
two blues ik are from ||father of flames and pinmaster||
Lemme boot up the game rq lol
The reds one is hidden behind a wall in ||greymoore||
isnt it near the ||bellhouse||
Yeah i thinknso
I knew there was smth else there
yellow ones in ||sinners road||
For the blues;
Ones in ||mount fay||
Brought from ||grindle||
totally forgor about this one
||pintresst|| boss
Also another blue accessible through a breakble wall in ||greymoore||
And I think ones in BW? ||bilewater||

whats a good spot to farm rosaries?
the best one i've found so far is ||those giant bugs near the entrance to Cogwork Core, with grindle's tool it gives like 50 each||
i also used the same place made like 2k under a hour
I FINALLY DID IT
||LOST LACE DOWN RAAAAHHHHHH||
I BEAT THIS FUCKING GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
||each time Traitor lord kills me i do 1 pushup, Just did my 57th
||
10 pushups per hit
This is the method to becoming half as strong as zote
im only missing this now
end game soiler ||AWW THE ENDING GIVES ALL MENU STYLES LACE'S PIN||
||I thought its exclusive to one menu style
||
Fun fact this also happens to ||moorwing||
glad i got rid of it lmao
So close
idk what tool it is
||Do you have the floor trap one?||
||tacks?||
I seem to remember it being far down on the list
Yeah ok so I’m wrong
ohhh the one from ||the silk and soul quest?||
erm chat
I don't think that is supposed to happen
Oh I know
jumping food
I'll leave them alone
It’s ||voltvessels||
ohhhhhh the hollow purple one
No unfortunately you can’t get that one again
Yeah that’s the one
time to search it
Took me an annoying ammount of time to find it
time for another ||lost lace fight|| 
postgame oilers
excuse me what
||plasmium moment||
its not the guy atleast
chat what's the trigger for savage beastfly 2
||One of them is forth chorus||
nice swim
||Oh my God you must be perfect at the game to get shakra to help you in the forum||
id say dont even bother for ||forum help||
just bang your head against the wall enough times
||The forum isn't meant to be done solo||
Well this game is impossible
Like straight up
I still think that ||Shakra|| is harder or at least as hard as ||forum|| itself if you beat her you can beat ||forum|| already lol
Incomplete-able without superhuman reaction
Wall cheese :)
aimbot
postgame oierls
I did not saw this

FUICK I JUST LOST SO MUCH MONEY
Yeah that does nothing
have you tried the thingy I told you about yesterday?
||let's just stand on the wall and oh??? What's that I can't hit the fucker trying to kill me? Let's go down a bit and uh oh I fucking died||
And what is that exactly? I forgot
||longclaw wanderer crest||
||Idk where long claw is and I hate putrid ducts too much to look for it||
||to the left, inside a house, help a spider and she gives it to you||
You can hit them with hunter crest
||and what is the spiders quest exactly?||
||a spider?!??!??????!!!?||
||Hunter crest is only good if you're able to no hit forum||
||feed her children||
fucking keyboard
yes
Oh my good lord the fucking ||maggot effect|| is the worst thing
||WHY DO FLYING ENEMIES HATE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH???||
oh yeah forgot to mention ||putrified ducts has a tool for this also||
Oh yeah I got that
||Yeah but then it breaks then what's the point not like there's many benches nearby||
||constantly jump so it doesnt wear out as much||
lemme get a pic of where she lives
||I CANT ATTACK FUCKING DIAGNOLLY||
||STOP FUCKING MOVING YOU FUCKER||
||I HATE SPIT SQUITS||
AAAAAAA
WORST ENEMY
WORST FUCKING ENEMYKIIKEJWIE

||now I'm at 2 hp which is just 1 hp because why the actual hell not?? And I can't heal because I'm infested||
Every zone in this game is worse than the last
why are you still playing, I have solely seen you express negative emotions towards the game
masochism
The game is fun, it's addicting as shit
Yeah it’s really fun but wow some of the areas in this game were evil
Yooo now do steel soul
My entire driving point is "What happens next?"
That's the only thing keeping me going
ill need to do ||twisted child|| first
or I can just copy my save and load back to when I had ||the baby with me||
||Just gonna do the forum||
I'll get it done eventually
thats what I said
No matter how long it takes.
Just gonna skip all this bullshit with assistance and do it.
bang your head on the wall enough times, eventually it will fall 
||no long claw no hunter crust just me and garmond.||
if I managed to do all of that and more you can do it also 
with the power of friendship!
do you plan on doing ||act 3?||
Yeah but you probably steel souled the first game
Yeah
actually, I played to false knight only
||the final boss awaits you with a lot of slop||
||garmond is just the zote of silksong||
this is the difference between the times in hk games
||GARMOND HASNT HIT A SINGLE FUCKING THING||
HE IS A USELESS CHARACTER
You could remove him from silksong and not a DAMN thing would change
||act 3 will make you sad||
||does he die???||
||As long as Zaza is alright then we good||
||you kill him||
Good.

Have you done ||groal the great?||
Not yet
Well good luck ||you need to defeat him to get to act3||
Im sure you wont struggle against ||grand mother silk||
Its not as hard as it seems
I'm never beating this :(
Yee
]ed
Yes
Yesyes
Yes
Yes
Try to get them to the same side
People say it makes it easier to handle
I didn't do it but it might help
Oh yeah ||tacks might be helpful for initial dmg||
I fucking did it
||I couldve sworn there was more after the 2 big guys no???||
Oh my fucking God let's fucking go...
I actually
Fucking
Did it
HAHAHAHAAA
YESSS
HAHAAA
Oh my God
Omholy shit
We are IN chat
Let's fucking GOOO

I told you would eventually get it
Now prepare yourself ||lace 2 is harder than grand mother silk itself||

I dont really like ||reaper crest lategame cuz of this||
Most bosses are fast to say the least
||She is so fucking fast i can't react||
Thats the downside of ||reaper crest||
I'll use hunter for this fight I suppose
Its not unusable but its harder for fast paced bosses
Have you been soiled about the ||act 3 final boss?||
If not ill let you discover by yourself
Not yet I don't[think
Ill let you discover it by yourself then
Ah and if you dont like 2 mask dmg attack
||there are 3 mask dmg attacks|| 
No need to soil act 1
Wanderer?
Lowkey sucks too
Removes the entire new moveset Hornets supposed to have and the new fighting styles
Feels too basic compared to the entire other faster/heavier crests
It's for muscle memory for people who played the first hollow Knight
Thought that was common sense
But I suppose not
I beat pure vessel and yet I still prefer hunter 💔
Cool, great
It feels like it's for people who don't wanna adapt to Hornets play style
I just play it cuz I want fast
Yeah THATS THE POINT it's for people who are USED TO THE OLD COMBAT MECHANICS
Im a ||witch crest enjoyer|| 
I'm not saying people shouldn't use it I'm just saying I don't use it because it feels like it removes the purpose of hornet having a different playstyle
||shaman time||
I just need speedrun now
And steel soul etc etc
But thats just a minor issue
hows the fight going @glad stratus
Not good
too fast?
Yeah if your perfect
trust me, im not perfect and did it
||counter... CounterCounterCounterCounterCounterCounterCounterCounterCounterCounterCounterCounterCounterCounterCounterCounterCounterCounter||
jump it
This is annoying
wanna a lil soil of the ||act 3 boss? (only the name)||
Make that 86 pushups

I fucking hate ||Traitor lord||
oh okay cool ||memory crystal|| is BUSTED
I wonder how much damage it does
Same
interesting loadout id say
It worked
Somehow???
It's gotten me this far
lemme soil you the name for the last boss of the game
John hornetkiller
its fun 
That's the name???
||YO WE FOUND HER!!!!||
It wasn't fun, but I won from pure LUCK
how
yes I am
||thr needles||
lost to ||lace 1||
||The game faked me outtt cmonn.... :(||
you dont reallt need rosaries in ||act 3||
I have a mod that lets me switch to WHATEVER crests whenever so I'm gonna try ||Gms cloakless||
I just realised grindle and sly have extremely similar voices
Hey
I'm missing stuff and I have no idea where lese to look
I'm at 96% completion. Any hints for where to look?
||This mod is kinda a double edge sword, on one hand I have access to every crest and can swap without benches, but on the other hand I can't use silk skills or tools on crests I haven't "unlocked"||
Which imo is a very good drawback
||the mod also lets me see which crests I want to unlock next||
Here's a neat little list that's pretty helpful, try crossing stuff out on this
And what about gms
||I'm missing a single mask shard (I think) and a single spool fragment. I also need a blue tool (I'm missing 2 but I know where 1 is). And I want to get the stuff im missing in the materium, and all mementos||
||What tools can be upgraded? I have the upgraded curveclaw and upgraded druid's eye but there might be other tools that can be upgraded||
||oh, add upgraded mirror. I've fought trobio 2||
Upgrading doesn't count for a percentage if that's what you're asking - if you just wanna know what can be upgraded, a wiki would be more useful than me
I got that. I was just curious, lol
I didn't even know you could upgrade those 2
I always assumed the first was just for some extra rosaries so I never bothered going back
SICK
i love how much hidden stuff there is
Here's how to upgrade them
||For the druid's eye, you take every mossberry in the game to the druid. It still gives silk after 2 hits but it gives 2 instead of 1.||
You found the other upgrade as I was typing how to get it 😭
Yea I just looked them all up
i guess ||claw mirrors count as an upgrade, so i did get those on accident at least, theyre quite unmissable||
Lol yeah
Just curious, does it consider getting the ||plasmium gland and having free plasmium phial refills ||as an upgrade on the wiki?
I wouldn't count is an upgrade, it's more similar to a held item like the ||everbloom|| which just grants you a passive effect, cause it's not really upgrading anything
does that award a completion point? I never checked
It does not
Same here. I was just curious if the wiki called it an upgrade
||YOO I HAVE A MOD THAT LET'S ME REFIGHT BOSSES YOOOO||
I don't like Silksong
Type shit
i like silksong
||which ending is required for act 3 exactly||
||act 3 is a spoiler||
Yeah that's hy I spoiled it
||have you done all your quests by the way? or any fleas?||
oh shit oops i guess i clicked it without realizeing...
I have to do ALL of them?
||not all the fleas||
i think you only need 25
Quests
oh i dont think you need to do all, but i think most are a requirement
Ngl I feel like shit because I had to beat ||GMS|| modded because it was too much going on :/
Also the health bar mod is very broken
i think its funny not knowing how far you have gotten in a fight
"surly the fights almost over... right?"
Eh all that matters is I had fun, I could always fight her again whenever I want
this is true
Lowkey
You beat the whoe rest of act 1 and 2
Shes fairly easy i bet you could do it
Like
Easier than anything else in act 2
hope they add some difficulty to that fight at some point
i think ive died more to this thing than ||gms|| /gen
Real 
The way I was so fucking terrified seeing || Nosk disguised as me in deepnest for the first time, Thanks for the nightmare fuel team cherry!||
wruff :3
wruffff
||i need your honest opinion, will Weaversong help me wear down traitor lord||

i mean
it does dmg
so yea
There's freaking ||traitor lord|| IN SKONG?
||no, Weaversong is the name of a charm in the first game||
OHHH
you don't have to spoil hk
yes but its still nice to :3
theres a few people here that are playing hk
I just wanna tbh, don't wanna spoil any other new hk players
It just makes my brain auto to act 2-3 of skong
||Heard it has a synergy with grubsong, is this true||
Nvm
Nvm
Just figured it out ||the little spiders give you soul when they attack someone while you also have grubsong equipped||
anyone else ||utterly disappointed by this sequel|| or is it just me
just you
why did i put that in spoilers
just you
||this would be a Awesome cameo though, just imagine the reanimated corpse of Traitor lord just appearing in front of you||
I definitely wasnt disappointed:D
I could see people being dissapointed, although mostly just because of the buildup of unrealistic expectations that can happen in the years of development
I personally think it's good, and my only big issues are in relatively easily fixable things like damage tweaks
I think it lives up to high expectations though
Unless they were like.. completely ridiculous or expected it to be an entirely different game
SS is literally much more bigger and more evolved HK what else is there to expect
I wasnt waiting for it for 6 years though and wasnt a huge HK fan so maybe I just dont know yea
silksong if it was any fucking good
Just wait for a mod to make every area just as bad
where's the ||4th one anyway, according to google there are only 3 silk hearts... though of course the game is quite new so not all info will be known. If it's act 3 then please say it's act 3 and not exactly where it is||
Wrong hearts 🥹
||i want a mod that lets me go to act 3 (and let's me replay acts 1 and 2) without having to do random bullshit||
You gotta get the quests so that it makes sense for the game to be the way it is
||in act 3||
Otherwise the continuity is all wack
I still wanna replay old acts without having to start a new save
Yoy can technically?
If you make a backup
And then roll back ur save
But like
Why would you do that?
what I want is a mod or some ||kind of extension that lets you roam Pharloom after you save it from the void🥹|| (post-game soiler)
Idk, just kinda wanting to experience the old stuff again I suppose
Itll probably be very hard or long to make but imagine.....
Post-post-game
Its a bit hard to do something like that in a metroidvania
do you all think that ||the parkour challenge above the cradle|| is as hard as path of pain???
bruh discord just crashed after I send that
I didnt go far in it yet but Ive seen it getting compared?? I suspect its something similar right
nahh
Not really tbh
hornets skills make it not that hard (fun tho)
We are talking about a different type of hearts. But still there are effectively 4 silk hearts ||one is a blue Tool, which act as an extra silk hearts||. It can be found in ||ATLA|| during the end of act 1 (is better to grab it at the tail-end of act 2)
Its hardly similar
||cog core|| was harder 💔
I mean Im struggling on it a lil
but I first-tried ||cog core||
its alright Im gonna do it though
||surface ascent||

ough it was shorter than I thought
yeah its definitely not "silksong's path of pain"
damn you youtube clickbait!!!!!!!!!!
how do you ||do the secret??? old mushroom???? quest??? (I know nothing about it) btw
what do you even start with||
it starts at ||pale lake||
squishes your paw beans with my paws 
im currently stuck at work BUT
its surprisingly cozy tonight

i guess noone wants to fly on fridays
mriiauu
thats awesome :3
silksong’s path of pain is called ||"bilewater"|| 
arf arf wroof bark woof :3
Guys they just announced this
pablo
PABLO
OFF Crossover
Move it football head
pablo
is this real.... it doesn't really look real...
yeah it's not real
alright
Its not 💔
Why is Pablo in bilewater
Its is real smh
It’s real wdym
this boy is so bloody tanky, i should get nail upgrades first, i think
It's a girl
Omg genius idea
Definitely not stolen from another game
||when you go for act 3 GMS should have an extra phase, just to spice it up since its your second time fighting her||
I think she should be buffed just in general
||"But she's like hollow knight fight" except she's a godlike being so it doesn't really work||
She was sealed away for like
Forever
She's sleepy
You expect someone to fight at full capacity when they just woke up???
I expected more than what we got
||Also doesn't the same apply to radiance||
Idea definitely not stolen from like
Nine sols or anything
Or was she just chilling there
ah, and yeah her attack patterns are really easy, but shes so bloody tanky and with her ||teleporting away from half the hits it takes ages||
She is NOT tanky
Oh wait
GMS does not have a lot of health yeah
Use ur ||grapple|| if you have it
Idk if you need it for PD
maybe?
i know i defeated most bosses faster then her first phase
How many needle upgrades do you have
only the first one
i was trying to get the thingys but i could not find it in ||blasted steps||
You need ||double jump|| to access the fight so yeah
But it's doable with just sprint combos
awwoooooo
||cursed ending:||
you cant buff her
Why not
postgame spoilers
||TROOOOOOOOOOBBBIIOOOOO||
||TROBBIOOOOOOOOOOOOO||
||imagine: DLC where you get the Act 3 equivalent for hallownest, playable as hornet. Like, you get to play in hallownest and see what was going on there after the ending in hollow knight. It'd be easy to make since they already have the whole map, and you wouldn't need to add that much||
||TROBBIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO||
question, postgame
||so the vendor is gone, and im pretty sure i had unpurchased items,,, is it gone or was it moved to another vendor?||
||I assume it was moved to the blasted steps vendor, just checking though||
Ya mean the "steady body" like tool?
||you can find his corpse||
yes
Postgame spoilers ||I think taking the green prince’s heart is the best ending for him, finally reunited with his partner, and getting to enjoy a dance with him one last time||
||Also I just learned you can bounce the beastlings, peam||
Its very bittersweet
team cherry loves their doomed yaoi
There’s non-doomed yaoi in HK
Imagine in hk 3 sheo and nailsmith die
no
||eternal damnnation in bilewater for your sin||
what if i like the popowater?
One of us
Ngl i really like the designs of the ||big flying enemies that puke lol||
I have grown to unironically like ||bilewater||
Also the platforming and music reminds me of white palace
The BW consumes
The church of BW
not if you kill him
||also (very technicality) Phantom is a bilewater boss||
BW gotta be my fav gender
true
Gender of causing pain and agony to those who don’t accept the suffering
I love the suffering now so 
Embrace the pain
Also Can’t wait for most enemies in HK 3 to deal 3 damage
cant wait for pablo to release
In HK 3 youll play as pablo, exploring the long forgotten empire of shitsen the 3rd filled with dangerous foes, challenges, and fights but also with the allies to help you on your journey
it will take 12 YEARS to develop
That's 3 evil benches
In the empire long ruined where the popowater is taking over it theres rot everywhere and pablo has to get the help of perry the playtpus from the hit animation phineas and ferb
the hollow knight was born of two gods and void (also godlike) 
So was broken vessel and he's nowhere close to being as strong as rad
||Even grand mother's children are stronger than her||
still godlike though 
it’s not exactly hard though 
i mean i guess 
You buff her and it becomes a nightmare getting that one 🥹
just make a phase that’s skipped on it 

what even happens in this ending?
it’s very vague 💔

||i guess hornet and grand mother silk die, turn to the greyroot. but it didn’t show consequences for pharloom at all
||
secret good ending
it really can be though 
||no more silk control from gms. but it’s unclear what greyroot wants||
||is the wood of shellwood just the body of that character? (and the other wood area where you get the baby) 🤔||
||maybe it just wants to grow||
Can an expert on act 3 tell me what are the things I should do before entering the act 3, in case I miss something and that
||shakra duel||
Aight
||all other endings will be inaccessible too||
Anything you can miss is optional
Oh damn

also ||silk stealing things can be eliminated in high halls||
they can’t be in ||act 3||? i think
I have a random lore thought: ||We know that Hornet is part pale being, and her half siblings (the vessels) were born of two pale beings and the void. In the standard SS ending Hornet essentially allows the Weaver part to take over. In the DNM and EtV ending the knight casts away its pale shell, becoming a being purely void essentially. That leads me to my idea: Is the knight we see by the era of silksong a new kind of higher being? One that’s the opposite, but not always the enemy of the pale beings|| postgame spoilers
chat did u know sherma has special needolin dialogue in (act 2 area) ||whiteward||? 
Yeah
The fact that we see ||shade lord flash in true ending cutscenes confirms the fact that Ghost is ascended and attuned with the void through Godhome ascension||
So yes, they are now essentially on the same level if not higher than what absrad was
||Tamed the void||
||Name Idea for the being type: Shadow being, being one of the lingering remainders of a Pale Being’s plight, a shadow of that, and being composed of void||
I mean what I just said is up to interpretation, but it's what I like to believe :)
I think ||Based on the ending, the Shade Lord does exist, but it’s only a small portion of the void that is under it’s control at any time||
Yea - which makes sense
||Given how the void tendrils attacked hornet when she was diving, and we can see the Knight was not pleased with that||
Void is described as 2 reoccurring things; regrets and lack of thereof ("nothingness") through lore tablets + dialogues and journal entires
chat how do I get up there (act 2 area)
Void carries those regrets in it which is why it acts so hostile is why I imagine
You get there with the next movement ability I think
a3 oilers
I hate this
||I think the knight is essentially the ‘mind’ of the Shade lord as well, the one in control while all the other siblings form the “shell”||
nvm I got it
It allowed me to cling grip after I used (act 2 ability) ||claw line|| 
||loads coral launcher with malicious intent||
I remember there being two ceiling holes, I couldn't get to one until late game
uhmmm
(act 2 area) DAYUM...
It doesn't
as you saw by the clip it did NOT allow to cling
Bugs
im pretty positive you shouldve been able to, grappling doesnt make a difference on flat surfaces
it will cling you regardless of if you grapple or not
It's a slope though
Post game spoilers ||I truly believe that the shade lord is a non-malicious entity, it does what it thinks is ‘good’ for those that it’s components liked (just hornet)||
not that one
Where
that one is specifically elongated enough
if it requires ||silk soar|| then im just brain loss
||Wreath of purity|| room
||I think it’s just somewhat thankful for how Hornet helped||
Actually || I think it helping Hornet is points away from it the canon ending being godhome||
basically soul twister v2
its so messed up lol
||injecting silk into bugs and them not surviving the process||
oh nvm you can just make it, it's unusually tight though
Also after seeing that cut secret ending, I understand what happened to gms' previous captors
No wonder we never see any of them in the ||cradle||
she absorbed them
Which explains why she had to deal with ||clawmaidens and all the other outdated silk twister machines and junk for her silken curses||
Then again idk if I should regard cut content as canon
But it makes so much sense though :(
I really disliked that fight
Though nothing can be as bad as ||groal||
i just tanked everything the entire fight
projectiles do 1, so just sit and slash away
heal when he dives
repeat
i did end up no hitting him to redeem myself for that hk gameplay
lmfao I phase changed so hard with (act 2 needle upgrade) ||hivesteel|| 
Idk it was just a bit boring
peak
man silksong hate is so forced
Difficulty hate is understandable
got hit twice like a noob but still made it
soul sanctum you mean
?
soul twister is the name of the charm that you get from the injection machine
its the soul twister machine v2
not even them themself but terrible waves of enemies before
oh
||injector band||?
but yea|| whiteward|| is basically soul sanctum 2 lol
yeah
no no
||silk is just soul (according to materium)|| and the goals are the same
and song is from the soul...
you could almost say it's a silksong..
who could've guessed
random silksong fact that i learnt just earlier, the ||slab sequence that gives you the different capeless combat is actually applied via an invisible crest called capeless crest
||
pretty cool that thats the way it works
did any of you repeat ||the slab sequence|| after the first time
I personally avoided ||cage wardenfly ground pound|| like the plague on second playthrough
oh yea another cool interaction with ||slab stuff is getting captured while cursed
||
though that one is more common knowledge i think
whats the video about i cant really tell
i think it might be a new update but im not too sure
I wanted to but didn't want to risk it
yup 30h is def doable
||currently at nylith for first heart cuz i need to go get delver's drill||
also ||seth|| is still hard
probably top 5 in difficulty tbh
number 1 hardest boss is ||seth flea game scores||
Chat, thoughts on Styx?
relatable
NGL ||Seth is unironically like the second hardest boss for me, behind lost lace||
||carmelita was def harder for me (and I think most)||
making me regret going to ||lost verdania|| for what
the river?
the ||silkeater maker||
how does an all female population of weavers reproduce
oh right
bugs
chat which one do I put on for my last blue slot (some act 2 tools)
||warding bell||
oh wait the emperor said we don't need to spoiler act 1 stuff
warding bell
nah, I rather not use anything that buffs binding
warding bell doesn’t really do that much IMO
it can damage the enemies if they hit near the end of binding
at least i think so
It’s good for avoiding damage, but you still get punished hard
don't need to bind if you kill the foes first 
also, last of three blue slots?
||at that point why not use mirror?||
because I don't see it
Pollip pouch if you like red tool use
hm, imma use ||spool extender|| for now, maybe there's something else later that more directly buffs either needle or silk skill damage output
that's probably the best choice
and no I literally don't have active tools equipped 
||injector band my beloved||
fair enoigh
why bind when you can kill before getting hit 
btw does ||the last battle in the slab theme has the hornet leitmotif?|| 
maybe i’m crazy
whats the name of the soundtrack, i can give it a listen rn
honestly, i don’t know

it is the one playing ||when hornet regains items and fight them||, if anybody knows

maybe they’re all made by ||grand mother silk||
the original weavers i mean, not half weavers like hornet obviously
i guess so
you can but it doesn’t protect from damage. you can even use both for more damage 
the ||weaver cages|| in ||the cradle have only mixed weavers||
ooooh that's what "||in eighth part or in quarter part||" means
even add ||the witch crest||. basically like the thread storm anytime you heal
actually it is lace leitmotif 
but yea it does use a leitmotif as the lead viola
actually even the cello sounds like it does in lace theme
it has a lot of close similarities
main menu also seem to use hornet leitmotif, well it’s obvious thinking about it
i wonder if that means anything
well
i actually know very little to no slab lore
||they definitely had an order from lace or grand mother silk to catch hornet||
other than its just disguised to be a place where you can attone for your "sins"
another propaganda thing
yeah
is there a comandment of that or somethinbg
it’s a really cool sequence i think 
it is
Too bad i couldnt play it 
chiki youre so good you never got caught 
i don’t think so? i mean, aside of the fact that’s basically the main reason hornet is in pharloom after all. ||i think it’s reasonable to assume they tried to catch hornet again||
||i don’t know how much damage hornet does without the needle. but it’s pretty unique to use saws placed on the arena to attack.
also, nice they didn’t forget to make it impossible to pogo on spikes lol. and the pogo is like on the hunter crest, makes sense since it’s hornet’s style.||
RAHHH LORE ESSAY VIDEOS ON MY HYPERFIXATIONS RAH
team cherry are afraid of adding real snow
||that’s the second time they do it, after kingdom’s edge||
||this time the place is actually cold, making it even weirder||
cant wait for the dlc
it looks kinda like dandelions
Yeah
||Pinstress|| seems to be covered in snow
why bind when you can no hit everything
i think the higher you get it transitions into snow
or maybe it’s ||fayforn fluff|| actually
is there a hq map
why is this fatass shedding all over me
dumb pigeon
maybe it’s both snow and evil dandelions, it’s unclear what it is 
Evil dandelions 
what if hornet has allergies :(
it’s not cold, hornet just crystallizes from dandelion allergy
oh (postgame spoilers)
I think Hornet is allergic to Nates
here i was happy about my nohit and now people are doing 2 at once??
that sounds unreal and difficult
very difficult
especially if they desync
||new boss, grandmother silk. like grand mother but old||

gms isnt that hard
LMAO
I bet most of them just didn't know how to get rid of ||curse||
Im probably gonna replay the game to get the ||cursed endings cause I found it and cured it super early, like before I got any of the melodies, and doing all that cursed sounds annoying||
Yea I'm surprised so many are doing it, it probably won't be a rare achiev soon anymore 🥹
You can roll back to pre ending save backup
make a copy of your save so you can revert to when you got the ||twisted bud/child||
Or pre ||curse||
Does it save that? That was soo long ago
man you cant say that
it saves important points
It saves any major event
Is ||twisted bud|| major is what i meant
It is
Hm
yeah but ||no healing and no tools makes it a challenge. not the hardest in game, but still||
huh is that what restore points are?
i think getting ||cursed is, but twisted bud no, so any major event before curse and just get the bud||
I wonder... ||do you think Groal took some inspiration from dodongo and allows you to feed it a pompillo for massive damage?||
i saw them when i was copying a save for godhome and didnt know what they were
random but the hell you can even use ||4 yellow tools on wanderer|| 
I did gms first try no tools, only heals basically, then I did nohit
I got it like, after ||cling grip||...ill just do another save 
Pretty sure I saw ||getting cursed and rid of it|| in my backups list
I saw ||cursed|| yea but again my thing was it was soo long ago, its not worth it
thats what I said, getting the ||twisted bud item itself i think is not a major event||
wtf cool
Like 70h ago 🥹
i had no idea lol
Press the button and it lists many events it made backups for
heals make it way easier lol
. it’s not exactly hard but it’s really easy to mess up too
nah
Yeah its nice, and for once a backup system is on console 🙏
||one eye for each set of needles||
i never knew :3
looking at you rain world
console still doesnt have the backup feature?
Nope
RW backups aren't on console?
Good thing my only console is a portable pc
why i didn’t saw the taunt button in settings lol
