silksong but i remove all the song of the game

#

Hollow Knight: Silk

distant holly
#

hollow knight: silk

opal totem
#

I think we should remove hollow knight

sturdy heart
#

lets handle silksong to EA games actually

#

or, something

distant holly
#

wait. maybe collecting soul from creatures is the pale king’s ability. silk is made from the soul, and hornet can collect it. it could have been the fact that enemies are haunted but hornet gains silk from non haunted creatures too

sturdy heart
#

hornet needs to survive till act 3 just because skarrsinger carmelita ost needs to be real

sturdy heart

#

cool

#

maybe being able to collect soul from striking enemies is related th pale king

distant holly
#

fine thread spun from the soul of its creator.

sturdy heart
#

(i never got too deep into HK lore)

distant holly
#

i guess hornet just makes silk from the soul collected

Silksongers should I beat up the sun on hollow knight first before I purchase silksong

why doesn't hornet just get 9 silk hearts is she stupid

distant holly
distant holly
#

also trobbio isn’t haunted either monkdevious. trobbio just fights for the performance 💔

sturdy heart
#

the vile "game mechanic" option

opal totem
#

Isn't Shakra from the edge of pharloom

sturdy heart
#

mod that makes silksoar horizontal and clawline vertical

distant holly
#

kinda sad there is no infinite length clawline

#

like the crystal heart

sturdy heart
#

i hoped that silksoar would actually connect between room transitions

distant holly
#

💔

sturdy heart
#

imagine silksoar from bottom moss grotto to blasted steps

#

shit's crazy

distant holly
#

yeah

#

you can get to the top of maunt fay in few silk soars lol

sturdy heart
#

its very satisfying yes

distant holly
#

would be annoying to bring the lacquer otherwise

sturdy heart
#

imo i wouldn't mind, i love mount fay's parkour

broken plover
#

"Ahhhh"
"Ooohhh"
"Ehhhhhh"
💥 🎆 TROBBBIOOOOO! 🎆 💥

#

Is first sinner just a faster widow

distant holly
#

the background music: "troobbio"

distant holly
#

like hollow knight and broken vessel

#

sealed weaverslugwoke

sturdy heart
#

first sinner is everything GMS wanted to be

opal totem
#

Widow's bells are harder to dodge than nails tbh

sturdy heart
#

you also get better movement in first sinner so like

act 1 faydown cloak no clawline ❤️‍🩹

distant holly
#

sturdy heart
#

oh yeah

#

act 1 or act 2

#

seth bossfight

distant holly
#

father of the flame act 1

sturdy heart
#

father of the flame sucks kinda 💔

split sluice
#

Find a way to sequence break and fight Karmelita as your first boss

distant holly
#

it’s impossible though

#

you need needolin

sturdy heart
#

and the upgrade

distant holly
#

this action actually requires needolin, it’s not scripted

void prawn
#

Ok that fight was fun

opal totem
#

You know what I think would be cool

#

If steel soul allowed one death but after it the steel gang starts hunting you down everywhere and kill you permanently

void prawn
#

I noticed first sinner has the same voice lines and music as widow

split sluice
#

Basically the reapers

full vale
#

love claw skip

#

FUCK ME I ACCIDENTALLY STARTED FIGHTING SISTER SPLINTER

void prawn
#

How I feel loosing all my money again from the same gear that you practically walk right into if you don't stop moving right as you enter the room

Yo the gms silk skill is sick

sturdy heart

#

Hmmm

#

Do I use Phantoms silk skill first sinners skill or uh

#

Gms' silk skill

clever furnace
#

wonder if the little silk eaters ever grow up

opal totem
#

I don't think they do

#

They're kind of just there to give you more silk

full vale
#

just first tried widow after a while of not playing silksong

#

hell yeah

sudden plover
#

I just beats savage beast fly 2

split sluice
#

Silksong’s godhome equivalent will be all savage beastfly

void prawn
#

I just put a curse on the next person who's discord profile is "Troupe Master Grimm" with the pfp of Grimm sleeping if they beat savage beastfly 2 they die

#

putrified ducts??? monkwail

gentle cedar
#

bless your soul

#

that looks like pale lake too

clever furnace
#

yes, pale lake

gentle cedar
#

i wonder if there's any other spot in ducts it appears in

#

or if its just lake

clever furnace
#

just lake looking at the wiki

gentle cedar
#

damn

#

so they just want you to suffer

#

mine was over there too after putting my other 2 in the easiest fuckass spots to reach and near eachother </3

clever furnace
opal totem
#

Steel soul quest

clever furnace
#

Ohhh

#

When do you get that -Lotus

opal totem
#

When you find an npc in blasted steps

#

Npc that doesn't get new dialogue in act 3

#

Unplayable

wise monolith
#

me when i cant fight shakra in act 3

opal totem
#

Ring the ring

gentle cedar
#

are we just forgetting the zote dialogue in act 9

wise monolith
#

its gone

opal totem
#

Then walk left or right

#

She's defending bellhart

wise monolith
#

you literally cant

#

you cant fight her

gentle cedar
#

sometimes you can find her sitting in bellhart for a breather

opal totem
#

Oh fight

#

Yeah you can't

gentle cedar
#

ohh yeah no that fight is inaccessible in act 3

clever furnace
#

yea shakra fight is missable

gentle cedar
#

same as garmond and zaza

wise monolith
#

what did you guys think i said slugloafcry

opal totem
#

Find

gentle cedar
#

idk i dont read

wise monolith
gentle cedar
#

apparently there are some triggers that make garmond and zaza missable in act 2

wise monolith
#

weitd

#

weird

gentle cedar
#

i heard it was doing either second sentinel or threefold melody

#

that like disables it

wise monolith
#

garmond and zaza is so weird

#

their triggers are strang

opal totem
#

At this point I have no idea what the trigger for Garmond moving in is

#

I thought it's finishing forum arena, some people assumed it's fixing second sentinel, then I was told it's getting all three melodies

#

All of these happened and I still was able to fight him in my recent save

gentle cedar
#

odd

#

maybe its board quests??

opal totem
#

Could be

#

It was a speedrun save so I didn't do any of those

gentle cedar
#

since on my first save i only saw him once in the citadel before he moved into songclave

#

but by then i had already done most the board quests

opal totem
#

I saw him around the citadel twice before he appeared at the dueling spot

gentle cedar
#

on my steel soul i didnt see him at all, i just went to the duel spot and he was there

#

garmond and zaza are the biggest mystery because idfk what triggers anything for them

distant holly
#

immortal beastfly that summons every enemy in the game in order

#

and only after all can be killed

opal totem
#

Pantheons if they were made by hakita

gentle cedar
#

cant wait to fight gms in the savage beastfly pantheon rematch

opal totem
#

Immortal tarmite mod when

gentle cedar
#

minigun tarmite mod when

distant holly
opal totem
#

So is it quests based

distant holly
#

probably

#

which means you have to fight second sentinel

opal totem
#

What you mean have to

distant holly
#

it’s a quest in songclave

#

if you complete it and others you will miss the duel

gentle cedar
#

ah yeah so it is quests then

opal totem
#

Well then you have to not complete it

distant holly
#

true

#

is second sentinel even hard

#

i accidentally beat the fight first try

#

💔

opal totem
#

I think it's the boss everyone just facetanked

#

Would really benefit from double damage

distant holly
#

i remember you’re cogflies

opal totem
#

You're druid's eyes multibinder wanderers

#

It upsets me that wanderer is doing a better job at being beast than beast

slim fjord
#

pollip pouch multibinder druids eye flea brew flint slate beast

distant holly
#

wait

#

do druid’s eyes generate silk twice if you hit with rapid double 1 mask attacks

#

or once

opal totem
#

Not sure, would make sense if it's double

opal totem
#

Fun fact: I thought longclaw doesn't work on shaman because I was using injector band to test it

distant holly
#

it seems like dice can activate on either hit

opal totem
#

I remember dice doing that yeah

distant holly
#

which means it can’t negate 2 damage but the chance should be higher though

clever furnace
#

How do you get shaman? -Lotus

gentle cedar
#

what act are you on

clever furnace
#

3

distant holly
#

near shamans

clever furnace
gentle cedar
#

in the ruined chapel

#

you gotta go all the way to the rightmost room and use silk soar

clever furnace
#

Okay then ig -Lotus

#

Thanks -Lotus

distant holly
#

injector band + multibinder + druid’s eyes slugwoke

#

wait how good is it compared to grubsong

#

it’s better actually

opal totem
#

Is it

distant holly
#

no i’m wrong

#

it’s a bit worse

opal totem
#

Grubsong gives 15 soul per hit, eyes' equivalent would be ~11

clever furnace
#

Transmascs will love silksong
You bind all the time -Lotus

distant holly
#

you need to get hit 9 times with druid’s eyes but only 7 with grubsong

#

for full silk/soul meter

#

it might be better with multibinder though (which is actually a viable option unlike deep focus)

opal totem
#

I think it's more crest dependant

#

I'd consider it on wanderer and beast, otherwise seems like a pretty bad pick

distant holly
#

there’s a lot more healing windows in silksong

#

even without injector band it’s often enough for multibinder

opal totem
#

I'd rather try to not take damage

distant holly
#

yeah but you would need to only get 7 hits to heal (if you take 2 mask damage twice, get 2 silk)

opal totem
#

Why 7

clever furnace
#

damn, cross stitch is actually pretty epic

opal totem
#

Oh yeah it was buffed

clever furnace
#

oh

#

wonder what the cross stitch symbol's supposed to be

broken plover
#

My favorite part in the Silksong Movie is when Trobbio burst in and went "Ahhhh"
"Ooohhh"
"Ehhhhhh"
💥 🎆 TROBBBIOOOOO! 🎆 💥
"Bleh"
And Silksonged all over the place

sudden plover
#

I guess I have a slave now. I tried to decline

#

Any hollow knight experts know if leg eater still dissappears if you go to him with the unbreakable charms after the grimm troupe leaves/gets banished

#

Skong dlc idea:

The Pale King is overcome by silk, causing his kingdom to succumb to a new plague. With the help of the hollow knight, hornet battles through hordes of silk possessed husks.

Boss ideas:

Silk defender

Silken vessel

Lace

Silken prince zote (it's just the colosseum zote fight once again)

Silkseeker

The Silken King of Hallownest

opal totem
#

Apparently this exists

Jim

quiet sentinel

Huh interesting, have you guys seen the new green prince thing on the beta branch

clever furnace
#

y'all should I destroy the light

opal totem
#

I don't think it does anything

sudden plover
# sudden plover What do y'all think

Mentioned the idea in another server

Someone said "but PK is dead"

So? The silk cann possess corpses

"His corpse is in the dream realm"

Silk can be used to access memories, it could probably find a way into the dream realm

quiet sentinel

#

I want more original stories

sudden plover
#

Has anyone drawn what hornet might look like after the weaver queen ending?

I wanna know what people think

slim fjord
#

spider

quiet sentinel
#

idk if its just a little detail but people are speculating it to be a dlc hint

drowsy ginkgo
#

i really hope we get a dlc for the coral area

#

its too pretty to just scrap it how they did

quiet sentinel
#

that's what the speculating is, cut content return

wide ledge
#

always bet on restore pharloom dlc

distant holly
quiet sentinel
#

you reacted to it monksilly

opal totem
#

Unlike snail village place

drowsy ginkgo
quiet sentinel
#

no the entire platforming section and exploring the area was definitely cut out

#

even the steel soul looking dudes

opal totem
#

I don't think steel soul dudes were specific to this area

quiet sentinel
#

no way to know because its cut

opal totem
#

And it seems many things from the coral area ended up being blasted steps and SoK

drowsy ginkgo
#

while i think getting a full coral area probably isnt happening, id be willing to bet steel assassin sharpe is still gonna be a thing

#

or something very similar

opal totem
#

Yeah that still seems possible

drowsy ginkgo
#

has anyone had issues with the liquid lacquer quest not showing up in act 3?

opal totem
#

Not specifically in act 3 but I didn't get this quest in steel soul

#

But this was already fixed

drowsy ginkgo
#

hmm im in steel soul, has it only been fixed in a beta

opal totem
#

Possibly

#

There were two fixes to courier quests in patches that are already live

quiet sentinel
#

What was wrong with them, I literally didn't do a single one other than the pale oil one

opal totem
#

The one for mask maker just didn't appear

drowsy ginkgo
#

well the quest showed up after i did a songclave supply run

#

i really thought i was gonna be locked out of doing one tiny little thing lol

void prawn
#

Hey slugchat

#

I know there's two fleas in the ducts (one being vog)

#

But every guide only guides you to get vog

drowsy ginkgo
#

i thought vog was the only one

clever furnace
#

i don't remember another flea in ducts

opal totem
#

How do you know there are two fleas

hardy jolt
void prawn
#

Map

hardy jolt
#

ooh wait

void prawn
#

There's a flea marker right under the first room of putrified ducts

hardy jolt
#

yeah thats at the citadel

opal totem
#

Which is not in putrified ducts

void prawn
#

Every guide also happens to not cover it as well

hardy jolt
#

team cherry is EVIL and made the fleas too close to unrelated regions

Might be a good idea to buy flea maps one at a time

clever furnace

hallo
I almost lost steel soul to standard underworks enemies multiple times monksilly

clever furnace
opal totem
#

So you don't buy citadel map and wonder why there are a new flea in putrified ducts

opal totem
#

Real

clever furnace

I almost lost my first steel soul to 2 damage steam

I love underworks monksilly -Lotus

sameee

its such a cool area

opal totem
#

It's one of areas ever

it's got the capitalism benches

#

and therefore I hate it

when i was playin silksong for the first time i thought it was good but then i got to underworks and i started actually loving the game

I started loving silksong when peak appeared on my screen

haha that guy has my most amount of lost steel souls monksilly

hardy jolt
#

blasted steps is so awesome...

quiet sentinel
#

time for 13th steel soul attempt monksilly surely this time i dont be stupid

opal totem
#

Maybe I should do another steel soul attempt

#

I want more silksong

wide ledge
#

why even bench on steel soul if you can't even die honestly #removebenches

clever furnace
#

we should get blasted steps 2 with worms that deal 4 mask damage

opal totem
#

Tools

#

While citadel with no benching felt unusually peaceful I kinda missed my pins and sting shards

clever furnace
wide ledge
#

true

#

I perfectly predicted when and how the second act popup text was going to play out heh

#

heh

#

according to my friend it was obvious but I don't caaare

quiet sentinel
#

mucked beastfly oh hell no

clever furnace
#

Mucked beastfly? -Lotus

wide ledge
#

mod

opal totem
#

Do we need any more proof that modding was a mistake

wide ledge
#

savage beastfly in bilewater

#

noope

#

it was a miracle

#

I think I could beat double lost sinner if they didn't kill me instantly

quiet sentinel
#

it summons the bile spitter things and also the platforms crumble underneath you yea no

#

LMAO thats awful

clever furnace
#

surely I don't lose my steel soul to far fields savage beastfly monksilly

quiet sentinel
#

We need a mod that adds a variation like this to every area

#

cant wait to replace moss mother with beastfly

gleaming badger
quiet sentinel
#

mossy beastfly

#

ppl need to stop using the new encoder

wide ledge
#

cogwork beastfly at the dancers arena

quiet sentinel
#

i cant play videos encoded in that format

#

im not upgrading to windows 11

opal totem
#

Which one do I use then

wide ledge
#

silksong steel soul with only beast crest and barbed wire like if you agree

opal totem
#

Make barbed +1 dmg instead of 2x and I might agree

gleaming badger
clever furnace
opal totem
#

Damage taken

wide ledge
#

a fourth of a mask

clever furnace
#

yea yea yea I realized just after sending monknervous

drowsy ginkgo
#

would 1.5x dmg on your attacks make it worth it?

opal totem
#

Probably not

#

I like not dying

drowsy ginkgo
#

what about 2 times?

#

i think thats when i would start using it

opal totem
#

Then I'll probably try it out, still die and never use it again

quiet sentinel
#

i cant believe silksong copied hollow knight, like the style and gameplay is so similar its a blatant copy

opal totem
#

It's the kind of extreme where you either kill everything so quick it's not even fun or you die too quick which isn't fun either

drowsy ginkgo
#

if it did do 2x it would definitely be broken in the right hands

clever furnace
#

I think barbed is fine as is
I take it as a handicap, because without it I genuinely need to try to crack my fractured mask

#

and the damage bonus is to get something out of the handicap, namely, taking about a hit less to kill fodder enemies
and progressing tougher ones faster

#

it would also make no sense for a bit of barbed wire to double your damage

opal totem
#

I'd rather it be more than mainly a handicap

#

Taking 3 damage for 25% boost sounds fair to me

#

4 is too much

quiet sentinel
#

maybe she wraps it around the needle

#

but its probably an adrenaline thing since the double damage

clever furnace
#

i feel like it's just the equivalent of overcharming where you gain a small benefit that's normally not worth the massive handicap but it's still really useful in certain situations

opal totem
#

Simply add radiant bosses to make it viable

clever furnace
#

barbed, unexpectedly, synergizes pretty good with hunter crest
gotta not get hit to keep focus
and barbed's disadvantage comes when getting hit monksilly

quiet sentinel
clever furnace
#

long as focus is kept, you can hit really hard with standard attacks
a shame that neither barbed or focus buffs tools or silk skills

quiet sentinel
#

also is there a reason for why silk heart is with bellbeast lore-wise cause theres just a ton of lingering silk in the room but that doesnt explain much

quiet sentinel
wide ledge
#

is there a lore reason for any silk heart

quiet sentinel
#

i mean the other 2 form in places of high silk density

#

this one is just kinda there

wide ledge
#

widow shouldve gotten the silk heart

#

I'm lying kinda itd be kinda odd

quiet sentinel
#

id probably just have chosen lace 1 to have it idk

#

if there is a lore reason for bell beast then sure

opal totem
#

Lace also works

quiet sentinel
#

but i dont see it

#

yea

opal totem
#

Widow makes the most sense but I guess they didn't want to give her 2 unlocks

#

You don't need silk hearts until needolin anyway

wide ledge
#

bearing the silk out of lace it sent me to the silk realm

#

beating

quiet sentinel
#

speaking of them, did you do mount fay with 1 or more silk hearts

wide ledge
#

why the hell did it get autocorrected

quiet sentinel
#

i tried attempting on 1 and got annoyed at running out midair so went and got a 2nd one before i got my wings

opal totem
#

1

wide ledge
#

who the hell knows about the unravelled

#

imagine

opal totem
#

Third silk heart was one of the last things I did to 100%

clever furnace
#

damage modifiers are additive right? (except wanderer crit)

quiet sentinel
#

no

#

theres literally damage reduction modifiers that work on a percent

wide ledge
#

whaattt

#

what reduces your damage

#

can't think of anything

opal totem
#

Some enemies have resists I think

quiet sentinel
opal totem
#

I have a cool theory that there's some jank with how wisp lanterns take damage

clever furnace
#

some enemies have a reduction against higher tier weapons to reduce the impact of the higher level

wide ledge
#

evil

clever furnace
#

it's for good reason, you'd otherwise delete enemies that look tough

wide ledge
#

how dare I not be able to one hit everyrhing

#

smh..

#

no needle upgrades and no tools LL fight

clever furnace
#

I'm looking at this modifiers table, and the biggest reduction goes to fourth chorus with a 0.45 multiplier when hit with level 4 weapons monksilly

wide ledge
#

crazy

quiet sentinel
#

does reaper crest actually deal more damage? or is it just slow to balance out the bind

#

would be cool if it did like an extra 5 damage

opal totem
#

No reaper smells

opal totem
wide ledge
#

true...

quiet sentinel
#

literally unplayable

wooden sun
#

Hover Hornet

opal totem
#

Not the first time hornet gets an ability to float

clever furnace
#

reaper should get some damage buff so it stinks less

#

it hits soooo slow

wide ledge
opal totem
#

I watched a crest tier list video today and reaper was put above hunter

quiet sentinel
#

yea it feels like it should hit harder

opal totem
#

Criminal

wide ledge
#

it should have a hit stop everytime you hit with reaper

#

no damage buff just placebo

opal totem
#

It has a hit stop on some attacks, it just only affects hornet

wide ledge
#

reaper is only good because of the uppercut

opal totem
#

Eh

quiet sentinel
#

wruff

#

i think its quite ruff

opal totem
#

There have been very few times I used uppercut to hit something airborne

hardy jolt
#

i just learned that the track name that plays in the arena when you get ur stuff back from the slab after getting kidnapped is called red maiden monksilly hornets theme instead of the enemies theme moonsparkle

#

arf :3

quiet sentinel
#

yes :3

wooden sun
#

Hornet's not stuck in there with them,
They're stuck in there with HER

opal totem
#

Yeah true

#

Totally didn't almost lose steel soul to two wardenflies

wide ledge
#

I died so many times in that arena for some reason

clever furnace
wooden sun
#

The funniest part about that section to me is if you look at your cloak in the inventory afterward, it'll say it smells like flies, and it takes about a few hours to wear off.

opal totem
#

Don't you clean it by showering

wooden sun
#

That's how it wears off?

opal totem
#

I believe so

broken plover
#

I beat up Grey prince for the first time and now bretta's depressed what do I do monkwail

opal totem
#

I wonder if showers in citadel can wash off maggots

OOH OOOH I KNOW THAT GIY

the biggest damage bonus taken is me when i am skill issue

glad stratus

||chat wtf is a craw summons||

#

nice bug stupid game

#

hp bar stays if you kill it with the environment

glad stratus
opal totem
#

Blame mods

clever furnace
#

head to craw lake to find out monksilly

opal totem
#

Always blame mods

clever furnace
glad stratus
#

||oh hey Seth, again, are you gonna quirrel on me :(||

clever furnace
#

looking at the wiki, it seems that they simply add, with the exception of wanderer crit that multiplies damage done by 3 after other damage bonuses apply

glad stratus
opal totem
#

Damage numbers wiki lists for void filament and shaman are higher than I thought

quiet sentinel
#

that is literally multiplying

clever furnace
#

nvm

quiet sentinel
#

lol

glad stratus
#

||damn rune rage is fun||

clever furnace
#

i've heard that the wanderer's crest has great dps but the range felt pathetic so i never really used it much

quiet sentinel
#

the additive upgrades is just nail upgrades

#

pretty sure everything else is a multiplier even stuff like flint

opal totem
#

Iirc wanderer's range is about the same as hunter's, its arc is just much thinner

clever furnace
#

needle 2 + hunter focus 1 + barbed does 14 damage, nice

quiet sentinel
#

i used it up until i found shaman then i fell in love with a new crest

#

this run im doing hunter only

#

since i practised all bosses with the hunter pogo so thats what ill be used to

clever furnace
#

i'll never not use hunter, with focus it hits so hard

opal totem
#

Used it for the most of my dead steel soul run, only had range issues with flying enemies

#

Hunter beloved

#

Did you know hunter is bad because its pogo is ass

clever furnace
#

I think its downslash is pretty sweet

quiet sentinel
#

i wonder how broken a shade dash would be with how fast the sprint dash is

#

wait it has a cooldown in the original nvm

#

moorwing time

opal totem
#

You can tell team cherry thought shade dash was very strong by the fact they gave sharp dart a windup

clever furnace
quiet sentinel
#

i dont feel safe

#

everything was going super smooth and i was pogoing the whole time and then i get stuck in his body for 2 hits cause he shooses to do the upside down double claw thing

opal totem
#

Where tools

#

Why pogo

#

Doesn't sound safe

quiet sentinel
#

its silly

clever furnace
#

i think i'm used to the hunter's pogo now
then theres..whatever the fuck beast pogo is

quiet sentinel
#

ill get tools after i get needolin cause rn im just speerunning to phial

opal totem

oh thats interesting, sister splinter cannot die while staggered

#

even if you deplete the healthbar, shell become immune and only until she pops up at the top again will the next hit be fatal

#

i guess they didnt wanna code 2 different death animations

#

widow time, where the past 3 runs have ended somehow

oh i cant unhear it now LMAO

#

i feel like savage beastfly is overhated

opal totem
#

First one is

#

Second one is annoying but not because of the boss itself

quiet sentinel
#

YAY we have a steel soul run going

#

first good attempt since the last 3 attempts

hardy jolt
#

yooo :3

quiet sentinel
#

i did much better that time :3 and just played less aggresive

quiet sentinel
#

the minions in 2 are genuinely painful

#

i think i was underprepared on my 1st playthrough so ill come back a bit better ready for it to hopefully lessen the pain

#

in general i really dislike tanky flying enemies cause theyre designed to weave and move away from you as well

#

so youre stuck chasing them tanking some damage to try get rid of them

opal totem
#

My second beastfly attempts are either breeze through or everything goes wrong, no inbetween

quiet sentinel
#

yea im scared lol

#

gonna equip magma bell for it to be extra safe

hardy jolt
#

best strat for beastfly 2 is prolly like

#

a passive playstyle with architect

quiet sentinel
#

will it follow you outside of the arena

hardy jolt
#

and focus on killing the minions and let cogflies kill beastfly

quiet sentinel
#

i wonder if you can get it stuck somewhere

hardy jolt
#

savage beastfly cheese arti_evil

cause if you can im so down to cheese it cause fuck that boss maeLaugh

okay, now that i have needolin, time to finally go back and do quests and get masks and stuff

quiet sentinel
#

my successful attempt funnily enough was putting on bracelet

opal totem
#

Just gotta use skills properly to get rid of small bugs in time

#

Last time I tried to use tools for that, turns out curveclaw is pretty bad at dealing with them

quiet sentinel
#

yea lol

second beastfly was kicking my ass because I'm the best ever and I kept running into it

Was cogflies targeting hookpoint enemies ever fixed

clever furnace

does anyone else struggle with implementing needle strikes onto regular play?
when I don't have a chance for more melees, I rather silkspear instead

Also my keyboard doesn't like having X, Z and C pressed at the same time monksilly

opal totem

I remember there was such fix for wispfire lantern but not flies

Yea I always forget needle strike exists, it was like that with hk as well

opal totem
quiet sentinel
#

My keyboard also has ghosting cause its a poop laptop so i cant really do much holding 1 button

clever furnace
quiet sentinel
#

so some motherboard are built in a cheap way to where they can only process a certain amount of inputs at a time

clever furnace
barren ingot
#

oh yeah that

quiet sentinel
#

so for example having certain keys held in an area of the keyboard will make other keys in that same area unresponsive

barren ingot
#

weird name for that

#

doesnt feel very descriptive

quiet sentinel
#

the term is derivative of rhythm games i believe

#

its why when i played celeste i used both a controller and keyboard at the same time monksilly

#

the consequences of speedrun

#

time to catch up on some things

opal totem
#

Can't you fix that by just buying a separate keyboard

#

Every laptop user I know does that

clever furnace
#

oh, of course, just be richer!

opal totem
#

Keyboards aren't that expensive

quiet sentinel
#

sounds awkard to use on my desk

opal totem
#

Kind of is

quiet sentinel
#

im just saving up money for a proper desktop setup

#

i have the funds, just waiting until i find a new place

#

cause i dont wanna haul around a fat pc and get it broken somehow

clever furnace
#

i've never used anything other than a laptop but it stays on my desk all the time

quiet sentinel
#

yea mine just stays there no reason to bring it anywhere

#

wow my map sucks

opal totem
#

That's what my map looked like when I continued speedrun save

#

Map description still says it's from Shakra

quiet sentinel
#

thats actually a bit scary without thread storm

#

isnt the silkshot tool here i swear it was up one of these

opal totem
#

That's snare setter

quiet sentinel
#

oh

#

can i not get that yet

opal totem
#

Not until faydown cloak

quiet sentinel
#

aah yea

#

okay i got light spool and upgrade i think im done here for a while

#

i guess its sorta been tested that memory lockets + crests are like a point system for the side crests so ill come back for those later

at first i was thinking well ofc i cant make a cocoon its steel soul then i got the idea to heal stall and i guess it paid off :3 early sharp dart :3

#

i have shaman crest brainrot

#

i instinctively press down + silk skill cause thats the slot it was before

#

oh yea speaking of this apparently the intended way to kill the plasmified assistant is by using the extractor, not raw dps

#

but my stupid ass just spammed wanderer until they died

#

huh i guess steel soul changes it which is pretty cool

glad stratus
#

||holy shit this crest lets me use 3 different silk skills???||

opal totem
#

Wish that wasn't steel soul exclusive

quiet sentinel
#

wonder what other stuff is exclusive

#

this game is so peak

opal totem
#

There's that quest reward item that's kinda mid

quiet sentinel

steel soul exclusive quest??

Don't get your hopes up, it's not very exciting

flintslate and hunter’s focus adds

quiet sentinel
#

no flint is a multiply

#

im pretty sure focus is also a multiply

#

unless they coded a flat number for each upgrade which is dumb

#

yes they are both multiples

#

idk why people keep thinking bonuses are additive

#

thats now how you optimize code

#

or gameplay

#

flint is a 50% on top and focus is 25/40% respectively at both crest upgrades

#

flint also applies after focus

opal totem
#

I don't see how % bonuses being additive is an unreasonable assumption

quiet sentinel
#

so its a true mult

opal totem
#

Doesn't sound much harder to code than all mults either

quiet sentinel
#

cause that doesnt make sense mathematically

#

you dont add percentage you multiply

#

they work using decimals

#

1+1.5 does not equal 1*1.5

quiet sentinel
#

youd have to code a flat value for each seperate thing

#

instead you can just apply a multiple and have it affect everything retroactively

#

its preference

#

both work

#

but its more reasonable to assume that anyone that knows what theyre doing will just multiply

opal totem
#

It's not a preference, it's a different result

#

Slightly different but still

#

1.25*1.25 doesn't equal 150%

quiet sentinel
#

i never said it did

#

i dont even know what that is

quiet sentinel
#

im just correcting someone thinking it was additive

opal totem
#

Then how are you even answering this question

quiet sentinel
#

this is going heavily off topic

#

what question

#

i wasnt answering any question

opal totem
#

Are % bonuses additive or multiplicative

quiet sentinel
#

there is no such thing s % bonus

#

how do you think you get a percentage lol

opal totem
#

How do you think two percentage bonuses stack

quiet sentinel
#

yes multiples apply to each other additively

#

but thats not what was being asked

#

of course they apply additively

#

i wasnt ever denying that

#

you cant get results by multiplying multiples thats just not how it works

#

the only caveeat here is true multipliers

opal totem
#

What

quiet sentinel
#

which apply to the final number

#

okay

#

so

distant holly
quiet sentinel
#

yes

#

well also no

#

flintslate would be at the end of all of those outside of the bracket

distant holly
#

it doesn’t monksilly

quiet sentinel
#

so it would be damage + (mult + mult) * true mult

#

it would because it applies after everything else

distant holly
#

according to wiki it adds 50% of needle damage

opal totem
#

According to wiki flint is additive

distant holly
#

needle

quiet sentinel
#

then the wiki should look at the code

opal totem
#

Only true mult is wanderer's crit

quiet sentinel
opal totem
#

No

quiet sentinel
#

yes

distant holly
opal totem
#

I think everyone here understands what's meant by additive % bonus except you

opal totem
quiet sentinel
#

okay, how do you get 50% of nail damage additively

#

please show

#

write the equation

opal totem
#

You add 50% on top of all other damage bonuses

quiet sentinel
#

okay write it

distant holly
opal totem
#

If it's the only damage boost it's 1.5x, if it's with barbed it's 1.75x

distant holly
#

unless they changed it in an update

quiet sentinel
#

oh my god

#

what do you think 1.5x means

#

is it a flat additive or a multiplier?

opal totem
distant holly
opal totem
quiet sentinel
#

it does NOT

opal totem
#

The question is how they stack

quiet sentinel
#

ITS literally a MULTIPLIER

opal totem
quiet sentinel
#

YES

#

THATS HOW YOU TRANSTALTE MULTUIPLES

#

oh my god

#

no

#

i refuse

#

im out

opal totem
#

Then explain what the remark about wanderer means

#

Why is every other bonus +% and only wanderer x3

quiet sentinel
#

cause it applies after everything

opal totem
#

What difference does it make if you claim all damage bonuses are multiplicative

#

Order wouldn't matter

quiet sentinel
#

there is no difference its just what is simpler to understand

#

nail damage + (naildamage * 0.5)
nail damage * 1.5

#

like why make it more complicated than it has to be

opal totem
#

If there's no difference then why is it not +200%

#

Why apply specifically everything else

quiet sentinel
#

apply what

#

oh the crit?

opal totem
quiet sentinel
#

because with the crit you just slap everything into parentheses and its easier

quiet sentinel
opal totem
#

Maxed out hunter and barbed

I love leitmotifs in these games

opal totem

#

i take back everything i said i had to sit down and type it out and then realize how much extra effort multiple bonuses are

quiet sentinel
#

confidence is a crazy thing

#

i was wrong maeMelt

quiet sentinel
#

but just for fun it would probably be something like nail damage + (nail damage * 1.35 - nail damage) + (nail damage *1.25 - nail damage) LMAO

opal totem
#

Why not just do like
Nail damage * (1 + 0.25 + 0.15 + 0.25)

quiet sentinel
#

i forgor

#

turns out flintslate isnt true mult either monksilly my rot is eating my brain away

distant holly

#

i wonder if that applies to just nail damage or after everything Clueless

now I never used scuttlebrace before

hm, It kinda sucks that it removes the ability to dash downward

hm I'm quite puzzled with scuttebrace
I saw this video of parrying attacks that are only possible with scuttlebrace and found it very epic
now am not gonna be tryna be fancy in steel soul, but it could genuinely be good at very quickly reposition and keep the pressure on

#

On the other hand, I gotta trade the silkspeed anklets and down dash for a movement that I'm unfamiliar with
which is suboptimal to say the least

Skuttlebrace seems more just fun than usefull -Lotus
