#Silksong Discussion (soiler warning)

cool
hornet 2 in my steel soul run was a peak gaming experince for me becuase I severely underprepared (including keeping fragile greed enabled and having iirc the worst nail) and spent around a third of the fight on one mask, yet managed to eventually persevere
wow amazing
the Widow fight in Silksong was posing to be the same (underprepared and spending a lot of it on one mask) except I just straight up lost in it instead of persevering 
dangit I almost nohit LL but her projectile got me :(
why would you do that š„¹
i find ||flea juggle|| genuinely fun
not much else to do after 100% other than that and ||courier service||
i cannot remember acronyms, what's LL
you picked the worst of the 3 to get a good score 
oh!
nuh uhhhh this onees the best
(late postgame) ||lost lace||?
i think so
late postgame sounds absurd :leditoroverload:
you are weird
:(
it really does asjdkljdsa
yus
disciple of john rain world i curse you with dying to ||bilewater||
WHAT WHY
why would you do that to someone
im evil
HOW DARE YOU
remember, if your health drops to zero you die, so be careful
most dont know this
does it aply to other games
or only this one
i made it past ||mount fay|| and now it's time to die to ||bilewater||
actually wait no, ||putrefied ducts first||
NO dont listen to the curse
its fake
im afraid they already got me, i can feel it

ugh I keep getting hit by LL's flycatcher move
yea she's only getting me with the flycatcher move now š
am tryna not to leave the ground too much now, but now I'm getting hit by her standard attack 
ayyy good job!
ty 
i mean you could always try to learn her telegraphs more and react dodging instead of predicting
am trying, but most of her attacks involve getting off the ground as best answer
you dont have to neglect getting off the ground but look at the telegraphs and if she does the jump attack dont jump
all the attacks have a different telegraph so you can tell which
oh, if you're too close she gets ya too with the flycatcher
then move backwards
question which bosses would yall count as hard ones || lost garmond, pinstress, bell eater, khann, nyleth, clover dancers, or edgy tribbio|| very late game question
uuu none of those, maybe just the last one
yeah thought so too, but i was just told ||act 3|| has some truely hard bosses, yet i have met nothing of that sort yet
thats kinda the easy ones tbh
yeaaah
all of them either first try or second, besides ||bell eater||
thats more annoying than hard
idk hes the only one that took a few tries
think bosses are too easy?
I got a solution for you
barbed bracelet
NOW they hit as hard as they look
tbf on a couple of those bosses i could use it yeah
do you have the fragile heart?

remember, it only boosts needle damage 
gotta get close and personal to make use of it
||lost garmond is hard?|| 
||clover dancers are easier than cogwork dancers due to lacking third phase
||
not really
i just heard bosses in that act, were hard, found none of them hard yet
silksong has so many things that donāt count to 100%

Cant wait for silksong downpour dlc /silly -Mary
yeah
||unlike hollow knight, this includes more than the hunterās journal. curvesickle, druid eyes, claw mirrors upgrades donāt count (since they replace the tools, not add new), but they do affect gameplay. also the crawbell i guess||.
theoretically, the drifterās cloak and ||the faydown cloak|| arenāt percents either. idk if itās actually possible to get 100% without either though
||cockwork dancers third phase was easier than the second tho, leves more blind spots||
yeah, but ||clover dancers have equivalents to just phase 1 and phase 3 of cogwork dancers, making it way faster (lacking 1 phase). also you can clearly tell who is the one you attack (they donāt share hp)||
TOO EASY LES GOO ā¼ļø (literal end of the game spoiler)
what even the point of ||spider strings|| tool
i wish needolin was more useful in combat
itās pretty not at all
. it makes enemies freeze for a bit if you play it.
dreamnail (arguably the equivalent "lore" tool in hollow knight) gave soul, which is actually quite useful
though, ||grapple (which is kinda like crystal heart) is really good in combat||
no hit right? congrats :33 
||clawline? whenever I try to use it I run into an attack lol||
||either from being forced into the air or an enemy that telegraphed an attack while my finger's already heading for the button||
||clawline got too much end lag for me ig||
||nah, I'm using it at the wrong time and never bothered to learn as I find it better to dash in instead
||
yus, LL has been owned
absolutely owned :3
does ||clawline|| do needle damage?
maybe it does more which in that case it's worth more than dashing in
hm wiki says it's 1x needle damage split in 2 half parts
chat, im stuck on a boos
should I either fight using parries, fight using an ungodly amount of tools/silk skills. or go unga bunga monke spam x?
silk skills have insane dps if you can land them (especially thread storm) so maybe go with that :3
mandatory get hit less advice
bind takes a lot of silk which could be used for more silk skills
thread storm +the funny silk skill upgrading tool whose name i have forgortten +||shaman ||crest = DAMAGE
yesssss
i tried to use ||Beast|| & ||Witch|| crests but [boss name spoiler
] ||Karmelita|| is far too fast for that 
(I suck at landing that attack.
)
Im purposefully leaving my cocoon in ||bilewater|| to go do the ||silk and soul quest|| I'M ONLY GOING THERE TO KILL ||groal||
and Not Dying Trying to Heal with ||Beast||ā¢
||im starting to like bilewater for just how comedically evil the area is||
fun fact: there's a medical term for that
its called ||stockholm's syndrome||
||all part of big bilewaters plan||
You will be contained until you learn to love it

Bilewater is a good area. Write that using the maggots 
Bilewater has taken them we must save these poor lost souls
Grabs maggot gun
You next 
the ||wreath of purity|| in question
||radiance infection? silk? nah. bilewater brainwash||
||bilewater is, in fact, not fun when you dont have the charm that negates half the entire difficulty of the area where you get after exploring all maggot areas||
I get why people think bilewater is awful, but the pain is the best part!
||granted wreath can be gotten early but im talking about first playthrough||
I didnāt find that till way after finishing bilewater 
same š
mmmm masochism
a not-so-uncommon trait in the silksong community throughout these seven years
||After getting all movement abilities isn't really early||
i swear ||bilewater||'s supposed to be an ||act 3|| area whilst being accessible to act 1 š
Feels like it
same for how ||hunter's march|| is great when you explore it way later
The most fun parts of it are locked behind act 2 anyway
Like ||groal||
Where exactly do I fight ||groal||
At the end
||heās near the top of bilewater, after an arena fight||
Is there a bench near the arena/after the arena
||after groal :3||
what bench are you at rn
DUDE YOU MEAN I HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL OF BILEWATER (my nearest bench is in sinners road)
||thereās a secret bench||
Did you miss the bellway bench

theres a secret bench on the path to ||groal||
There's a bellway in bilewater 
Could like
Someone send a full map of bilewater idk where the bellway is
Ok fine I'll google it/pos/neg/srs/i hate u/silly/notsilly
Bites you
I heard there's two ways to get into bilewater from sinners road
Or is there a way into bilewater from sinners road and a way into sinners road from bilewater
well that ||final boss|| was rather ||anticlimactic||
a good bit ||easier than I was expecting considering how much people have been talking about difficulty||
is there a ||secret final final boss or something||
only one
the other way is a breakable wall only destructible on bilewater side
What?
I wish we could domesticate the roach things in sinners road
Is ||voltnest|| a region? -Mary
More like a subregion
wanderer crest 
also you can use any tools since ||they donāt get used for real in memories, they get back to the original amount after dying or leaving memories||
Didn't they change that
no
||itās not a real place, why would they get used?
||
Because I keep hearing that they do now
||shell shards with architect crest also get back, but you need to have them before entering it||
||you canāt spawn cogflies or get lifeblood overdose beforehand. but tools (and silk amount - 1 used for needolin) revert to the amount before you have entered the memory||
you still limited to the max uses though (unless with ||architect crest, then current uses + whatever amount can 800 shell shards be crafted into, they also get reverted||).
||same with breakable blue tools, they get reverted.||
||memories are meant to be like dreams in hollow knight, so nothing is used for real and you canāt die even in steel soul. it should be intended
||
Guess I'll check if I happen to lose to one of these
you can bring shard bundles for more shards 
though I don't think you could run through your supply unless you make heavy misuse of tools lol
weirdly enough, ||you canāt die to first sinner too||
||I think first sinner is just testing us and not having the intent to kill||
||Sort of like a duel||
Doesn't leave the cocoon
||but it isnāt memory, tools donāt get reverted||
||other duels have a special animation replacing death||
so itās some weird middle thing

OMW to fight last judge on a mid-act 2 save 
||In my current save I took the courier's rasher, went my usual route and realized I haven't beaten last judge yet||
||yeah thatās part of the reason Iām doing it rn||
easy, speedrun a nohit last judge
||I went exhaust organ route instead, turns out it's quite a bit faster||
||Had 3 pips left at the end after getting hit twice||
||phantom route is so much nicer no matter what||
Can we all take a moment and admire ||baby hornet|| (Soilers)
||1) less stuff to do by act 2 entrance
2) vibes
3) YOU GET PHANTOM FIGHT FUCK YEEAAAAH||
||beat last judge without destroying the thing
||
||beat last judge without the pilgrims dying||
but the sinnerās road 
Ok but genuinely when I got there on this file I was like ||āthis looks bad compared to bilewater, man I canāt wait to get there againā||
||also the blasted steps route is faster because itās closer to the destination room in the citadel||
i mean itās good otherwise, just not for the quest

||the mist is weird
||
||bilewater is still peam I think||
||Your first destinations in citadel are songclave and cogwork dancers, you're like 2 rooms away from one and 2 more rooms from the other when entering through exhaust organ||
||also BELL BEAST||
no, for the quest i mean 
I think it's still slower
||mist is faster|| yes
well, the room needed ||is on the left of the citadel.
. shellwood is pretty straightforward and then few rooms in blasted steps and thatās all||
there is more enemies on the other route
and environmental hazards
Hazards yes, enemies no
||there is basically no enemies on the path
. like 1 in shellwood, few in blasted steps, none in the grand gate.
||
||there is a lot of roaches, and few flying enemies directly on the path in the sinnerās road. there is few more rooms in the citadel but there arenāt a lot of difficult enemies anyway||
||Iām in the right side of sinnerās road
Oh yeah. Itās bilewater time
||
||There's one room in choral chambers with 6 choir enemies, there's a similar room in the organ route but less enemies and easier to avoid||
||Roaches aren't a problem, there are two roachfeeders but they aren't that bad to deal with either||
iām thinking about two flying enemies near the bench in sinnerās road 
||Idk both the hits I took were in choral chambers, nothing until then was an issue||
Iāve arrived in bilewater, and Iām genuinely tearing up with happiness to be back š„¹

i just finished up ||bilewater|| on steel soul
someone here said they hoped i lost there
but not today
new dlc: hornet moves to ||bilehaven||
Bilewater spares you
thank you bilewater š
Did you do the ||mask shard room||
not yet
yeah ill be honest i forgot about that room so i am a little worried about that
their curse might still work
as long as im patient though i dont think there are many more places ill struggle with
||Bilewater IMO is like a more in your face deepnest in terms of the suffering it inflicts||
||for me the reason I hate deepnest is arachnophobia for so bilewater is heaven to me||
im actually a pretty big fan of it too, although i still have complaints
craws have so "we really wanted to add crows but itās a bug game" design
true, it should've been a bird game 
and hollow knight just straight up has jellyfish for some reason
have we gotten crustaceans in the game yet? ik there's the ||coral tower|| enemies but idk if they count
cuz they're the bugs of the sea
worms and snails arenāt arthropods either but i guess thatās fine
aināt some look like isopods
yeah sorta
i just want like a full on lobster
make it the main antagonist of the next game
I took the lost fleas wish after getting all of them and seems now I'm stuck with it forever
multibinder actually doesnāt heal 4 masks at slower rate, but (as the name suggests) it makes hornet bind twice for 2 masks each; so if youāre interrupted during the second bind you actually retain first 2 healed masks
(works better with warding bell). ||so with injector band you heal twice in a row at a faster speed, resulting in the time of a normal bind||.
Isn't it funny that ||it's more cost efficient to replenish silk by drinking at halfway home than by purchasing silk spool from the dispenser||
it makes sense though
||I got rid of the screaming infant and I got a crest for it||
Hoorah
||I got one and then came back at like 97% and got all of the rest||
where's my lion village
||witch crest might just be the sickest crest yet||
||I'ma stick with this crest because it actually makes me play the game to heal||
Silsonk
tegale
ADINO
||I ACCIDENTALLY BROKE THE FUCKING HORNET DOLL NO š AND I DIDNT EVEN GWT ANYTHING OUT IF IT BECAUSE I HAD MAX SHARDS :((||
I am a a terrible person for this crime... And should be sacrificed ššš /silly
||yeah, thatās because it infects you||
Thats quite fair, who needs upgrades
Someone made bellbeast plushie
Hornet got turned to umbrella meanwhile bellbeast into marketable plushie
Flea plush when
Evil 
tomorrow
i got confirmation
mr team cherry contacted me
Silksong tomorrow real
thats so good
i am an amazing silksong player
why then
why are ||petrified ducts mosquitos|| beating my ass?????
I had a dream that hornet got like a haircut after act 2 and i got spoiled for it :T
i can assure you there's no haircut in act 2
or after
how would that even work
Hornless
silk wig
horncut
Like instead of the arc horn cut she had like a really short horn
She looked like this
I think my dream was a reflection of me getting soiled for watcher
Free benches in hallownest already do all the defending
You should've seen the evil ass laugh i did when I discovered you can sit on the throne after hitting his corpse off
Dont you disrespect the king
It's his fault that he felt the urge to fill his castle to the brim eith sawblades
I think that's protection only exclusive to the dream realm
Imagine allat suffering in the white palace is because some kingsmould was like "this place would look amazing with 100000 sawblades" 
Why would a random kingmould have ascended dream nail protection
I still think the pale king just
Did all that
(Massive soiler probably) ||why does lace laugh when you save her from the abyss, is it like a "whew! That that happened haha! Or is it like a "hah! Imagine saving me nerd!!!" ||
The first one i think
I think it's more of a ||"you crazy bitch you actually did it"||
Kinda in the same vein
||Some people belive Lace to use his laught as a coping mechanism when sad/stressed/angry||
man, the ||ending makes me really wish there was a post-post game state where we get to see pharloom free of the haunting||
True
False
||I don't think there'd be a lot of fun gameplay to do after that, at best they could make a comic about it||
See it yeah, keep playing it no
||it wouldnt hurt to have a postgame where you can roam around freely post LL||
||Act 3 already suffers from the lack of side content tbh||
||all I (hopefully) have left to do now is find some fleas and stuff||
The creature....
you don't need it to be all that, it could just be a 100% reward
||like the farewell state of the underground in undertale. You can go talk to everyone and get unique dialogue, and then leave.||
it doesn't need to be forever
Yeah if you put it this way it doesn't sound very appealing
||I'd rather get a comic covering a period of time after the ending showing pharloom getting recovered||
Dont you love it when the videos are just a black screen (ty discord)
||Voided moss mother real||
Oh
Thats disgusting
I wonder what ||muckroach guts|| taste like -Lotus
Glop
People are forced to eat that because theyre starving š
Yeah, but its apparently the tastiest part -Lotus
According to those two hillbillys -Lotus
Tastiest doesnt mean that its good
Its tolerable
Lmak
Lmao
The nectar probably goes crazy
They still seemed to really want it
Theyre stuck in sinners road and probably starving to death š
You see here in turkey we have smthing called a "kokoreƧ"
Its animal guts lol
But also, ||lugoli|| is fat, that must mean he enjoys eating, he must be eating the ||muckroaches|| and think that they are yummy -Lotus
He was also banished š
"Disgraced chef"
You dont call someone that for no reason 
Maybe its because they kepts slapping people with their asscheecks -Lotus
It could have nothing to do with their cooking if you think about it -Lotus
Ermmm actualy ||lugolis|| pronouns are they/them š¤
Imo that would be a
Actually I wont finish that sentence
Is that true -Lotus
Yup
Neat
The non-binary icon we all needed ā¤ļø
Again, that would surely give them the title disgraced -Lotus
||I also think they became disgraced cuz they cooked people lol||
Since im nonbinary too, should i attack people with my asscheeks /j -Lotus
Finally
Yes
Nonbinary people get a buff
I mean trans girls in particular get an ass attack buff (bridget guilty gear)
Poor transmascs dont get ass attack buffs -Lotus
As a girl I get monthly evil pains
Also, ||sands of karak|| is fire -Lotus
I hate you
I broke it because it was ||60shards in a bow||
i have brain rot of that image
its just a gif of them turning around
"analyze this"
Insert a cool silksong clip of like crazy parrying or dodging and then slap this on
It's peak
Boo
What did i do?? Why do you hate ||sands of karak??|| -Lotus
What bosses
Theres 1
Im counting ||voltnest|| -Lotus
Theres only 1 boss in karak proper
I suffered in SoK on my first playthrough but ||faydown cloak|| makes it a lot more bearable
How did you get there š
Also ||voltvyrm|| is the easiest boss in the game
4 then
So boring
?
Are you including stuff in ||act 3|| or something? -Lotus
||Voltwyrm, bug, Khann, watcher||
Oh shit I completely forgot about ||watcher|| thats how insignificant he is
i hate that you can at most have 5 masks in this game
when against bosses
well while it's 10 on paper, are there really bosses that DON'T do double damage?
Gangalang I'm at ||act 2||
except for, idk, Act 1 Lace
||3*||
good job!
better job!
I already know I'm gonna hate all the double damage
The first arena alone took me two tries
barring spikes
There is
In the ||citadel|| some flask throwing guys deal 1
NEVERMIND
you'd like to think so don't you
they do for maybe one or two seconds
"hey my dog! That's not my dog."
5 is pretty good
Problem is 3 hit kills in the early game
Dude
The triple heal combats it really well
In HK double damage was a heavy blow to your health
Since you can only heal one at a time
Like
Silksong heals make it a fun thing to learn when, and when to not heal
that's cool, however giving double damage to common shitroller bug is really unfun
When you are at full hp
And you take 2 dmg you can play it safe and lose 1 heal
Or gamble and hopefully get hit by a 1 dmg attack next
So you can heal 3
ā haven't checked what enemies still do double damage btw
Silksongs healing is so fun
-Lotus
I can't understand how to see changelogs on mobile steam
and I can't access it on my laptop rn due to bad wifi
yeah, all four kinds of it are!
Four?
-Lotus
crest spoilers
||Normal - Hunter, Reaper, Wanderer, Architect crests||
||Attack to heal - Beast crest||
||Ground contact for binding - Shaman crest||
||Bind attack-heal - Witch crest||
oh right
Ohhhhh, that makes sense -Lotus
Dont know what those last two are, but they sound fun -Lotus
they're hidden pretty well
Are they in ||act 3||? -Lotus
||Shaman is, the Witch crest is in a part of Bilewater that's accessible if you enter through Whispering Vaults||
||the witch crest also has it's own questline and an ending||
Where is the ||whispering vaults entrance to bilewater||? -Lotus
@mental shuttle be ever so kind and help me
I can't access my laptop right now
oh she's offline
At the top iirc
-_-
on second thought, my memory still serves me well
Sob
huh -Lotus
Do you have the map for it
it's on top of one of the lower rooms in ||whispering vaults||
I FORGOT I USE THE BELLWAYS
there'll be a corner in the room that actually hides a secret entrance
from there I'm sure you can lead your own way down to ||bilewater||
and once you ||fall into bw, go right and then in the next room all the way to the left||
oh right, ||after you pick up the item from there, you have to go to|| Greyroot in Shellwood ||and give it to them for the quest to proceed||
or rather, begin
Okay, thanks!
Still gotta do right of the polyp -Lotus
oh yeah i think it's important
Real

What if we made brooding mawlek but bad
I thought I was free from infection spam
Why does ||bell eater|| have a disgusting butthole
More importantly how does a E10+ game even fit that in
That's what it's rated on switch
Id think the bellhart cutscene would bump up the ratings a little
to steel soul or not to steel soul, that is the question
maybe I fuck up in hunter's march arena again 
thanks pal
can I call you pal?
yes you can call me pal

how this steel soul run goes is completely determined by how the right ow spawn marrowmaw fight goes 
you should do the ||cursed ending|| steelsoul run
hm it won't go well, got hit once by it
preferably with getting ||the curse|| as soon as possible
honestly, ||cursed|| is boring after playing with barbed bracelet so much
you hit like a pool noodle and can facetank so much šŖ
ooooooooooh, that's how you determine what attack moss mother is doing 
she shakes when going in for a ram
and she doesn't when hitting the roof
why would you ever need to determine moss mother attacks š
I always found traitor lord difficult so this time I'm going in with 18 lifeblood (unfortunately lost one but you can't see it because it would've been off screen) and spamming descending dark
for the ||secret Marrow Moss-mom ambush||
i thought you 100%'d the game
GLASS SOUL?
š„¹
already lost some
alright did it
lifeblood sure is over powered
(sorry for the picture spam)
well, duh, if you're stacking that much 
boss got to deplete your health like 3 times over the usual
all while you're spamming spells with the extra soul at it
i feel bad for the boss
Skong
Shaw
edino
Did you all know that in hollow knight Hornet says āShawā this is a reference to the fact that ||she never says this in silksong||
Hegale
bell beast no hit less go 
It could also be a reference to the fact that she says āShawā in hollow knight
Steel soul?
yea another steel soul
Garama
chat what is your favorite method of waking up the bell beast
mine is a pogo in their back
Smae
chat prediction, will I die to the skarrgard at the entrance to hunter's march 
well I almost did but that's because I forgot I can't dash away from their ground attack right now, I must jump up and over it
k got it
FUCKING
||VAULTBORN||
FLIGHT PATTERNS
it's like those fat craws but worse
cuz its in tight spaces
Dont die at the arena again please
k I didn't, but my performance definitely doesn't give me much confidence
not locked in enough
theres silk in the song
Gang what do I eat
I've only eaten a ham sammich and it's lole
Lile
Like
3
Pm
Should probably have put that all into one sentance
bell beast rematch??? 
YES
I
LOVED THAT FIGHT
chat do I pogo into the skarrgard + spear skarr fight?
there's a VERY fat rosary reward if I make it 
chat I made the pogo
ez
š¤
actually how much is that
375
yiiiep! worth the risk
more risky choices, do I take wormways into shellwood to speedrun cling grip + needolin? 
would very much help in reducing backtracking
damn, hunter run slash has a deceptively big hitbox
imma defeat lace first and ring the bell
ok, deep docks arena time, surely I don't royally fuck up 
nah, no hit
ok watch this lace no hit
||You somehow end up in the void :3|| postgame spoilers
nvm I'm incredibly washed
beat her, but this deserves an immediate rematch
one contact damage 
one standard attack hit
am so used to ||longclaw|| + weighted belt combo
am genuinely whiffing slashes by a few pixels
theeeere you go!!
k wormways time
chat, quick stop for wanderer crest?
Is life without wanderer crest even living?
got it 
imma swich off it once I upgrade hunter
how much does wanderer crit do? 3x damage?

@valid moon Listen to this! -Lotus
im around other people so i cant rn :(

I'M SORRY SORRY WHO EVER I RANDO CALLED
I'M SCROLLING PROFILES AND MY FINGERS TOO DANG BIG
I can believe I almost died to covetous pilgrim 
Who's that again
the guy with the rosary lassos
3 crits on a single enemy arena, this crest actually kinda fire
wonder why they gave the crit mechanic to wanderer of all crests
Wish this wasn't steel soul exclusive
||Wanderer crest|| is how my brother beat ||last judge|| third try -Lotus
good fight
damn, crits do that much to be considered a balancing issue?
sister splinter time
They don't, it's just an unnecessary cherry on top on what's already arguably the best crest
team cherry nerf wanderer for no reeas on ā¤ļø
"No reason"
Team cherry nerf ||beast and witch|| crests
Yeah beast crest is way too powerful I too think it should be nerfed
got the cling grip 
Yeah they should remove the iframes so your in the hitbox when the pogo ends
yeah
Excited to lose your run to widow?
Guys can we ban hornet, she is too good -Lotus
Mfw when watching streamer finish act 2 with unupgraded hunter
what does the upgrade does other than the meter
Meter
nothing
And vesticrests that are unlocked after it
Also, once i beat ||act 3|| i plan on beating this game without any of the optional upgrades, and also without using tools or spells (unless i literally have to), how hard do you think that this will be? -Lotus
hard i think
Also, is it possible to get to ||act 3|| without mask/spool/damage upgrades?
ya
Final boss time
widow time
Thats gonna be fun
-Lotus
she's eeeez imma be fine
I struggled so much with that fight I havenāt even tried it
easy
they should buff wanderers crest why does it take away my double jump when i dash attack
meter's actually a decent reason to use hunter
25% buff to needle damage which may push you ahead of enemy hit thresholds
gotta, well, not get hit to keep it though
||is it possible to do clover dancers for the heart instead of a different fight? Seth kinda scares me||
Nvm first tried it lol
||double upgrade hunter|| with barbed hits like a fucking truck
yes you can do them instead
why wouldnt it be,,
Oh awesome
if you ||do all four, the 3 quest hearts take priority||
||whichever heart is left out is placed by hornet at the bellhome as trophy||
ben2ben has cursed me, let's see if it's enough to bring my downfall
Good luck :)
||is there any lost lace attack that does 3 masks||
nope, am too good
||phase 4 cover-the-arena attack||
Yeah

was getting hit by her phase 2 melee
||Back when I was doing 100% steel soul I beat Seth's scores on dodge and bounce first try by just going for pale oil||
Where's my skill now
Ok there it is
||seth|| let you pass him. As he is a humble and noble warrior and a legend
||yo sick I got the parry YEAAAA||
i remember having a dream right before the watcher release, were i got spoilers for the whole map from steam workshop mod
š„¹
Where is that
-Lotus
probably not 
silksong postgame ||hornetās memory of the white palace has spikes and wingmoulds||
||no itās crust king||
itās like barely possible to lose

phantom 
also fire damaging bosses if you have magma bell
projectiles usually deal 1 mask damage too
weavenest atla, west of the bench
swim under the wall
the issue in silksong is you need 9 silk to heal, rather than finding a window to heal like in hollow knight
Thanks!!! -Lotus
That will be easy
yea, 9 silk is very expensive
dude, can I stop touching the moss mothers 
||YO THIS GANE HAS A CLOTH COUNTERPART||
this is one of the reasons I force myself to use barbed bracelet, I can't tolerate facetanking but it's genuinely a viable way to play, as bind is pretty quick for healing 3 masks
||Vog <3||
||who tf is vog
||
||the big flea||
ok I know what I'm doing wrong
moss mothers actually fly quite low to the ground which I'm not expecting, causing me to jump into them for a mask of contact damage
imagine ascended difficulty moss mother was 3 moss mothers 
this fight is actually kinda fire to try and master
A godhome like thingy in skong would be so fire -Lotis
of course!
it could be literally just godhome 2, as it's canon that godseeker travels through the world looking to attune with more gods 
True!!! -Lotus
theeeeere you go!
very speedy too
Godhome was so fun
I cant wait to see what will be in skongs dlcs -Lotus
enemy arena pantheon
pantheon but ||crust king khann has 8 arenas no shortcuts||
im pretty sure people just don't like the placement of some of them
||like hunter's march forcing you to fight void touched ants in act 3 to get past an area they've already been able to access most the game, which is what some of my friends didn't like||
since yk it was kinda not needed ||especially given the rest of far fields did that but on a less forced scale anyway||
I didn't mind that one, ||act 3 already kinda lacks content so an extra mandatory encounter wouldn't hurt||
speaking from hearing other people's opinions, it's genuinely just because of the placement for that specific arena ||since a lot of act 3 is already a drag according to a few of my friends and is just hype moments and aura||
idk i genuinely just think arenas are hated specifically for the placement and not for the difficulty
time for some quick fun 
||by the time people reach act 3, they have done nothing but continuously fought arena after arena whether by exploration or picking up stuff they need, so i understand the general dislike. they're just sick of them by then||
||It's more of a general lack of content I dislike about act 3, fighting same enemies but voided in same areas isn't as fun as completely new area||
||i didn't care much for act 3 beyond getting 100% shrug||
i genuinely forgot about this guy oops
guys why does this npc sing so good
iirc i remember seeing somewhere that leth voiced the minigame ladybug
just a cool little thing ig
are people still trying to find the stardew creator's character since apparently they have a voice in silksong???
Have you heard phantom's singing voice
watch me nohit skull tyrant
I believe in you
-Lotus
dang
falling rock got the big hitbox
Damn, i thought i believed in you -Lotus
sorry to disappoint 
Its okay...
I just need to stop getting my hopes up
/silly -Lotus
Slightly tedious and annoying to me, ||especially if the enemies can counter/block||
Ngl
After downloading some qol (and some funny) mods, im actually starting to enjoy the game
Got one called guts that lets me resize my needle so we're gonna fuck around with that
||okay cool I used clawline while having it be at max size and I disappeared||
||Also I noticed that the bilewater enemies are haunted, I imagine they would be fairly chill with hornet if not for that||
Modding community is so awesome
||anyways groal maggot arc time||
rip weary pilgrim
the poop in their pants from the close bell beast encounter held too much weight for the ascend 
||Groal|| is fire -Lotus
Spoil tag pls
Thanks
Btw wile you're steelsouling you should check out Skynx's singing
dang that was an easy ||final boss||
am sorry for what I'm about to do pebb...
yes
they sing about feeling holy with rosaries
when killed they drop a lot of them, I got 55
I thought it's just a random funny thing
||got the silk and soul wish.. Act 3 is coming sooner than I thought :)||
if there are two moss mothers does it mean theyāre lesbian
||am I supposed to ensnare the monarch for act 3 or no||
moss mother
||Voided moss mother|| in question
did you lose that earlier run...
what? no, I'm calling fourth chorus boring
||i got snared citadel or something, does that unlock act 3?||
beast crest time
boy o boy I sure hope savage beastfly doesn't clap my cheeks too hard 
IT IS
HAHAHAHA YES FINALLY
SOMETHING NEW
HAHAAAA
nah, too easy
so is my blessing working
well I've only majorly fucked up once so far so I'd say it's not going that bad
nice
reaper time
why is a goddamn PLANT more formidable than an ||abyss-covered Silk being||
||is the diving bell behind the lock door in deep docks?||
And where do I get a key
Who the fuck sells a key I think I bought all of them
So now what am I supposed to do
Do I just give up?
cilantro
I can't find any keys, so I guess that's that then š
shaw
have you found the one in ||bilewater||
Nope, show on the map where it is

ohh wait not ||bilewater, i meant sinner's road that's my bad||
Not that I know of.. could you show it on the map?
cilantro
this area i believe
Sweet, thanks
time to lock in
so is it canon that ||skynx is just styx but with a different mask||?
||i think skynx killed styx or stole styx's mask off their corpse||
is steel soul the canon route because you dont die
what even is steel soul how does it fit into a lore-wise run
consider the ||silk soar secret over styx's web thing where there's various masks in display, and the needolin dialogue where he's considering if he should serve or be feared||
Consider the ||suspiciously Styx shaped dead body||
ad somehow when youre doing it other steel seekers are aware
we need an entire steel soul lore video
||may be just a change of shell, many animals irl go through a period of replacing their outer||
no they are most definitely killed off lol
hk has no problems killing off npcs in steel soul
think the rancid egg trader in hk
Yeah remember the rancid egg guy
||lorewise, masks can outright change a bug's personality||
its not a personality change
they are used to either enhance or supress a personality
its just a slider
grimm troupe supresses their members
maskmaker supresses himself
other bugs outside of kingdoms enhance their minds to not lose them with masks
its just a meter, it doesnt change them
more clearly seen with maskmakers and grumm/blumm
or whatever their name was
brumm
brymm and nymm
brumm*
holy typing
Wait where's phantom
Where

it's in bilewater past mist
Oh I don't wanna go through mist
you need the needolin to effectively go through there anyway
since the little butterflies tell you the correct exit to go through
double boss mod?
idk what youre looking for but if its challenge you could try that one
Mods aren't real
Guess I'll wait for some kind of a balance patch or mentally prepare for another steel soul attempt
||saw that you can go meet lace at the blasted steps entrance (and sinners road) if you dont do lace 1 and went to go see for myself and its awesome
||
Isn't lace needed to even get there
||theres a route through wormways that skips far fields deep docks and greymoor :3||
Wait ||warden bugs|| appear in A1 righ
yes
Yeah
Prison ending
wait doesnt the warden spawn like right below hunters march
and you need bell beast kill to get to that part
I think there's like
Atleast 2
oo oki
yikes, ||I got the high halls resting spot for the steel soul wish||
||steel soul wish||
Why yikes
quite late area
Doesn't one spot always spawn somewhere that needs most movement abilities to access
On last steel soul save I had one in ||pale lake||
is this like... a steel soul exclusive thing or something... because if it is please spoiler (tag) it properly
Ah yes, the suspicious empty ledge everyone freaks out about
last judge time
Don't die on a steel soul in act 1 gng
woawwww
got hit once but that's it
:3 paws at u
Bites you
eviscerates and dies
YES
spell of resurrection (life in ||bilewater||)
Too bad
Anyways I just beat the shit out of ||lace 2||
wonder what happens if you leave bone bottom during the skull tyrant attack
||The cutscene right before that fight is probably my favorite in all of the game||
Bites you
Is it even avoidable

||it transitions perfectly into laceās theme and the battle||
Revives you again
||Putrified ducts time||
||pale lake?
||
no.
cries
moorwing time
||Fleatopia is the best town||
yea, "difficult"
Silksong town ranking (postgame spoilers):
||6) Pilgrimās rest, barely even counts but I guess it does
5) Survivorās camp, a nice worldbuilding detail and itās good to know a lot of bone bottom survived
4) Bone bottom, itās a great starting point and I love the way it cycles between repaired and destroyed throughout the game
3) Songclave, a really nice place in the midst of the citadel, plus sherma.
2) Bellhart, feels the most like a āmainā town, certainly nice to just exist in mid game, and shows just how bad the void is in act 3
- FLEATOPIA, YOU HAVE THE FLEAS, YOU HAVE THE FLEA GAMES, YOU HAVE A PLACE TO ESCAPE THE DARKNESS OF ACT 3, IT IS FLEATOPIA, IT IS A UTOPIA, IT IS PERFECTION (Wish sherma visited though to make it 11/10)||
@hardy jolt :3
man rosary spread is weird
Before cling grip you're barely scavenging around for them
then after it you've got more than you can spend
||oh God it's the fucking threefold melody all over again š||
||OH OKAY CORAL TOWER WAS PEAK???||
Me with my 13k rosaries
||does anyone know how to get to this heart?||
(Sorry about the quality the screenshot feature isn't working on my rog)
are you asking for the answer or a hint
Preferably the answer
||Elevator to Underworks after the Grand Gate, there's a hole in the wall (or a breakable wall, i can't remember exactly which)|| <- answer
Ohhh I see
No wait
is it not that? i swear it was that
||silk soar|| up the elevator
yes thats what i meant
There should be a breakable wall after that
shouldve clarified
||One of the best abilities in the game btwš„||
Metroid shinespark
Yeah but to get there
You have to go to the top
Its stupid
i think if you go from the bottom then you'd have to use it but not from the top
Theres a BIG FUCKING DIVIDING WALL
me when i forgor
okay i see why we're confused
theres actually 2 different paths to it lol
i never found the one that requires ||silk soar|| first
yeah that checks out
