hollow knight: silk
I think we should remove hollow knight
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
hornet needs to survive till act 3 just because skarrsinger carmelita ost needs to be real
silk is made from the soul 🤔
terrifying truth: shakra, pinstress, garmond, and other characters are actually haunted and manipulate hornet to continue the journey in pharloom/j
according to materium
cool
maybe being able to collect soul from striking enemies is related th pale king
fine thread spun from the soul of its creator.
(i never got too deep into HK lore)
i mean, the knight can collect soul but it doesn’t really seem to be an ability every bug has
i guess hornet just makes silk from the soul collected
but when you play the needolin the usual strings doesn't appear 🤔 and doesn't the haunting bind the bugs to their like, job or something
makes silk from the soul collected and can produce from within too i think
Silksongers should I beat up the sun on hollow knight first before I purchase silksong
no hit radiance and maybe you can be able to win the first silksong boss
that’s a joke
, since these characters give silk upon being hit despite not being haunted (so it can’t be explained that hornet just collects the silk from haunted bugs)
kek
yeah, silk hearts do
why doesn't hornet just get 9 silk hearts is she stupid

so like there isn’t really any other explanation. it can only be that it’s the soul from them, since they shouldn’t have silk
. well, maybe garmond does due to being from pharloom, but shakra is from outside of it so there is no way lol
also trobbio isn’t haunted either
. trobbio just fights for the performance 💔
the vile "game mechanic" option
Isn't Shakra from the edge of pharloom
trobbio more like gay bug and TROBBIOOOO
mod that makes silksoar horizontal and clawline vertical
i hoped that silksoar would actually connect between room transitions
💔
its very satisfying yes
would be annoying to bring the lacquer otherwise
imo i wouldn't mind, i love mount fay's parkour
"Ahhhh"
"Ooohhh"
"Ehhhhhh"
💥 🎆 TROBBBIOOOOO! 🎆 💥
"Bleh"

Is first sinner just a faster widow
the background music: "troobbio"
the fight is kinda similar but not really
like hollow knight and broken vessel
sealed weaver
first sinner is everything GMS wanted to be
Widow's bells are harder to dodge than nails tbh
you also get better movement in first sinner so like
those gods loving to throw nails at you
Double jump already trivializes mount fay
radiance, grand mother silk
act two through wisp thicket
father of the flame act 1
father of the flame sucks kinda 💔
Find a way to sequence break and fight Karmelita as your first boss
and the upgrade
this action actually requires needolin, it’s not scripted
Ok that fight was fun
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
I noticed first sinner has the same voice lines and music as widow
Peak idea actually
Basically the reapers
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
real
that one mod that removes enviroments damage
Console
crazy
Yo the gms silk skill is sick
homing missles
wonder if the little silk eaters ever grow up
I just beats savage beast fly 2
Silksong’s godhome equivalent will be all savage beastfly
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
hi
shaw
imagine we fight the ||massive beastfly corpse in the chapel|| idk if that counts as spoilers so im tagging it anyway
putrified ducts??? 
💀
yes, pale lake
just lake looking at the wiki
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
What are those markers on your map for? -Lotus
Steel soul quest
When you find an npc in blasted steps
Npc that doesn't get new dialogue in act 3
Unplayable
me when i cant fight shakra in act 3
Ring the ring
are we just forgetting the zote dialogue in act 9
sometimes you can find her sitting in bellhart for a breather
ohh yeah no that fight is inaccessible in act 3
yea shakra fight is missable
same as garmond and zaza
what did you guys think i said 
Find
idk i dont read
haha i did that one!!!11!!!1!!11!!
apparently there are some triggers that make garmond and zaza missable in act 2
i heard it was doing either second sentinel or threefold melody
that like disables it
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
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
I saw him around the citadel twice before he appeared at the dueling spot
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
pantheon of beastfly
immortal beastfly that summons every enemy in the game in order
and only after all can be killed
Pantheons if they were made by hakita
cant wait to fight gms in the savage beastfly pantheon rematch
Immortal tarmite mod when
minigun tarmite mod when
it’s worse, this one is missable if you complete quests in songclave
So is it quests based
What you mean have to
ah yeah so it is quests then
Well then you have to not complete it
I think it's the boss everyone just facetanked
Would really benefit from double damage
i remember you’re cogflies
You're druid's eyes multibinder wanderers
It upsets me that wanderer is doing a better job at being beast than beast
pollip pouch multibinder druids eye flea brew flint slate beast
wait
do druid’s eyes generate silk twice if you hit with rapid double 1 mask attacks
or once

Not sure, would make sense if it's double
Flea brew doesn't stack with beast's bind
Fun fact: I thought longclaw doesn't work on shaman because I was using injector band to test it
yeah i’m also unsure 
it seems like dice can activate on either hit
I remember dice doing that yeah
which means it can’t negate 2 damage but the chance should be higher though
How do you get shaman? -Lotus
what act are you on
3
near shamans

in the ruined chapel
you gotta go all the way to the rightmost room and use silk soar
injector band + multibinder + druid’s eyes 
wait how good is it compared to grubsong
it’s better actually
Is it
Grubsong gives 15 soul per hit, eyes' equivalent would be ~11
Transmascs will love silksong
You bind all the time -Lotus
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)
I think it's more crest dependant
I'd consider it on wanderer and beast, otherwise seems like a pretty bad pick
there’s a lot more healing windows in silksong
even without injector band it’s often enough for multibinder
I'd rather try to not take damage

yeah but you would need to only get 7 hits to heal (if you take 2 mask damage twice, get 2 silk)
Why 7
damn, cross stitch is actually pretty epic
Oh yeah it was buffed
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
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
The curse is in motion
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
Apparently this exists
ASS
Jim
What do y'all think
Huh interesting, have you guys seen the new green prince thing on the beta branch
y'all should I destroy the light
I don't think it does anything
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
eat them
No I have not enlighten me
it just makes the bench area even more shit
But I want more silksong, not more hk
I want more original stories
Has anyone drawn what hornet might look like after the weaver queen ending?
I wanna know what people think
spider
when you defeat green prince and come back to the place where they died next to the automaton, there'll be clover sprouts sprouting around them
idk if its just a little detail but people are speculating it to be a dlc hint
i really hope we get a dlc for the coral area
its too pretty to just scrap it how they did
that's what the speculating is, cut content return
always bet on restore pharloom dlc
you have 2 silk from 2 damage, need 9 to bind
what is this
you reacted to it 
It was repurposed, not cut, so I doubt it'll return
Unlike snail village place
still, id like to see a full region as long as they could fit it into the story somehow
no the entire platforming section and exploring the area was definitely cut out
even the steel soul looking dudes
I don't think steel soul dudes were specific to this area
no way to know because its cut
And it seems many things from the coral area ended up being blasted steps and SoK
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
Yeah that still seems possible
has anyone had issues with the liquid lacquer quest not showing up in act 3?
Not specifically in act 3 but I didn't get this quest in steel soul
But this was already fixed
hmm im in steel soul, has it only been fixed in a beta
What was wrong with them, I literally didn't do a single one other than the pale oil one
The one for mask maker just didn't appear
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
Hey slugchat
I know there's two fleas in the ducts (one being vog)
But every guide only guides you to get vog
i thought vog was the only one
i don't remember another flea in ducts
How do you know there are two fleas
why dont you buy a map from vog and check 
ooh wait
There's a flea marker right under the first room of putrified ducts
yeah thats at the citadel
Which is not in putrified ducts
Ah
Every guide also happens to not cover it as well
real 
team cherry is EVIL and made the fleas too close to unrelated regions

paws at u :3
under underworks? WRONG!! it's at the zone you've never gone to at the top of greymoor
wruffffff 
arf wruff :3
Might be a good idea to buy flea maps one at a time
hallo
I almost lost steel soul to standard underworks enemies multiple times 
This paw emoji is so cute -Lotus
So you don't buy citadel map and wonder why there are a new flea in putrified ducts
underworks is scary
Real
may have been too tired to properly plan my movements
I almost lost my first steel soul to 2 damage steam
I love underworks
-Lotus
It's one of areas ever
it's got the capitalism benches
and therefore I hate it
alloyed collective tomorrow
same 😭
Its cool worldbuilding though -Lotus
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 lost my first steel soul run because i tried fighting that hidden big rolly guy in the first room of the game -Lotus
Is it actually out tomorrow or just another dev diary
dev diary
Therefore dying at the first enemy in the game -Lotus
Bilewater
haha that guy has my most amount of lost steel souls 
blasted steps is so awesome...
time for 13th steel soul attempt
surely this time i dont be stupid
gl 
why even bench on steel soul if you can't even die honestly #removebenches
we should get blasted steps 2 with worms that deal 4 mask damage
Tools
While citadel with no benching felt unusually peaceful I kinda missed my pins and sting shards
I started loving silksong when peak appeared on my screen
(act 1 : Pharloom) -Lotus
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
mucked beastfly oh hell no
Mucked beastfly? -Lotus
mod
Do we need any more proof that modding was a mistake
savage beastfly in bilewater
noope
it was a miracle
I think I could beat double lost sinner if they didn't kill me instantly
it summons the bile spitter things and also the platforms crumble underneath you yea no
LMAO thats awful
surely I don't lose my steel soul to far fields savage beastfly 
Oh no 😨 -Lotus
We need a mod that adds a variation like this to every area
cant wait to replace moss mother with beastfly
(act 3 soilers) crazy save
cogwork beastfly at the dancers arena
Which one do I use then
silksong steel soul with only beast crest and barbed wire like if you agree
Make barbed +1 dmg instead of 2x and I might agree
thats just what my steam exports as 
1.25x
Damage taken
a fourth of a mask
yea yea yea I realized just after sending 
would 1.5x dmg on your attacks make it worth it?
Then I'll probably try it out, still die and never use it again
i cant believe silksong copied hollow knight, like the style and gameplay is so similar its a blatant copy
fr lol
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
if it did do 2x it would definitely be broken in the right hands
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
I'd rather it be more than mainly a handicap
Taking 3 damage for 25% boost sounds fair to me
4 is too much
maybe she wraps it around the needle
but its probably an adrenaline thing since the double damage
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
Simply add radiant bosses to make it viable
barbed, unexpectedly, synergizes pretty good with hunter crest
gotta not get hit to keep focus
and barbed's disadvantage comes when getting hit 
i wonder if anyones died to the bell that drops while youre frozen in the kill animation
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
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
its really good with wanderer too cause it affects the crits as well which is funny
Good question
is there a lore reason for any silk heart
i mean the other 2 form in places of high silk density
this one is just kinda there
id probably just have chosen lace 1 to have it idk
if there is a lore reason for bell beast then sure
Lace also works
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
speaking of them, did you do mount fay with 1 or more silk hearts
why the hell did it get autocorrected
i tried attempting on 1 and got annoyed at running out midair so went and got a 2nd one before i got my wings
1
Third silk heart was one of the last things I did to 100%
damage modifiers are additive right? (except wanderer crit)
Some enemies have resists I think
some enemies + bosses get damage reduction based on your nail upgrades
my wife is so cool 
I have a cool theory that there's some jank with how wisp lanterns take damage
some enemies have a reduction against higher tier weapons to reduce the impact of the higher level
evil
it's for good reason, you'd otherwise delete enemies that look tough
how dare I not be able to one hit everyrhing
smh..
no needle upgrades and no tools LL fight
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 
crazy
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
No reaper smells
Would also be cool if wanderer did less
true...
literally unplayable
Hover Hornet
Not the first time hornet gets an ability to float
this happens so much times it makes me die a lot
I watched a crest tier list video today and reaper was put above hunter
yea it feels like it should hit harder
Criminal
It has a hit stop on some attacks, it just only affects hornet
reaper is only good because of the uppercut
Eh
There have been very few times I used uppercut to hit something airborne
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
hornets theme instead of the enemies theme 
arf :3
yes :3
Hornet's not stuck in there with them,
They're stuck in there with HER
I died so many times in that arena for some reason
on the other end, you do get a damage bonus if your weapons are low level for the stage you're on
though still less than simply upgrading your weapons
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.
Don't you clean it by showering
That's how it wears off?
I believe so
I beat up Grey prince for the first time and now bretta's depressed what do I do 
I wonder if showers in citadel can wash off maggots
Do it 8 more times
Considering how much attention to detail they put in everywhere, I'd assume yes
biggest damage bonus goes to shadow charger with a whopping 2.5x damage taken when struck by level 0 weapons
OOH OOOH I KNOW THAT GIY
the biggest damage bonus taken is me when i am skill issue
||chat wtf is a craw summons||
||do I go back to greymoor now???||
Blame mods
head to craw lake to find out 
Always blame mods
I meant if damage bonuses add (25% + 25% = 50%) or multiply (1.25 * 1.25 = 1.5625)
||oh hey Seth, again, are you gonna quirrel on me :(||
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
||oh okay you just wanted to talk about birds||
what
Damage numbers wiki lists for void filament and shaman are higher than I thought
that is literally multiplying
nvm
lol
||damn rune rage is fun||
i've heard that the wanderer's crest has great dps but the range felt pathetic so i never really used it much
the additive upgrades is just nail upgrades
pretty sure everything else is a multiplier even stuff like flint
Iirc wanderer's range is about the same as hunter's, its arc is just much thinner
needle 2 + hunter focus 1 + barbed does 14 damage, nice
you could try it with longclaw it makes it a bit better
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
i'll never not use hunter, with focus it hits so hard
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
I think its downslash is pretty sweet
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
You can tell team cherry thought shade dash was very strong by the fact they gave sharp dart a windup
35 damage in a single swing with palesteel + hunter lvl 2 + barbed 🤑
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
its silly
i think i'm used to the hunter's pogo now
then theres..whatever the fuck beast pogo is
ill get tools after i get needolin cause rn im just speerunning to phial
Best platforming pogo
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
made a boss tier list :3
oh i cant unhear it now LMAO
when she does the dive attack into the claw swipes
she says "SEH" just like grimm does when he dives
i cant believe i noticed it only now
where is mucked savage beastfly?
is this based on your enjoyment btw
mucked? 
:3
what does mucked mean 
Am I the only one who hears "zota" in one of trobbio's voicelines
Defeating Mucked Beastfly, a mod by JngoCreates that replaces Groal with another savage beastfly fight that's a little mucked up and slightly more challenging.
It's overall not too bad provided you don't let the minions live for too long. I found a quick silk spear as they spawned usually took them out right away. Wreath of purity also helps a ...
i feel like savage beastfly is overhated
yooo :3
i did much better that time :3 and just played less aggresive
what moor said
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
My second beastfly attempts are either breeze through or everything goes wrong, no inbetween
will it follow you outside of the arena
and focus on killing the minions and let cogflies kill beastfly
i wonder if you can get it stuck somewhere
hmm good question
savage beastfly cheese 
cause if you can im so down to cheese it cause fuck that boss 
fight cheese with cheese
My most successful attempts where I was aggressive enough to not let it survive for long and summon more ads
okay, now that i have needolin, time to finally go back and do quests and get masks and stuff
that works too 
my successful attempt funnily enough was putting on bracelet
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
second beastfly was kicking my ass because I'm the best ever and I kept running into it
pretty sure i had no grapple or anything either
thread storming worked well but gotta be careful to not use it while it dashes
does eva give you upgrade straight away?
hunter lvl 1 yes
didn't even have a problem with the minions I just kept being way too aggressive on it
with REAPER crest 💔💔💔
Can't die to tarmites if you die to beastfly first
no
Was cogflies targeting hookpoint enemies ever fixed
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 
I remember there was such fix for wispfire lantern but not flies
yea i never use them 
I mainly only use it against flying enemies that don't give you many attack windows
everytime i try i get punished 💔
Until I get clawline
I use it to delete citadel enemies ig
What does this mean
oh thats funny
Surface climb bugs
doesnt grimmchild still attack wingmoulds
You have one cogfly out and you're fucked
Yea I always forget needle strike exists, it was like that with hk as well
Maybe it does but it's not an issue because unlike coglfies no one uses it
My keyboard also has ghosting cause its a poop laptop so i cant really do much holding 1 button
Skullwings, Driftlins and Mnemonids
what that
so some motherboard are built in a cheap way to where they can only process a certain amount of inputs at a time
oh yea the ghosting sucks
I can either jump or dash with a needle strike ready, but not both
oh yeah that
so for example having certain keys held in an area of the keyboard will make other keys in that same area unresponsive
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 
the consequences of speedrun
time to catch up on some things
Can't you fix that by just buying a separate keyboard
Every laptop user I know does that
oh, of course, just be richer!
Keyboards aren't that expensive
sounds awkard to use on my desk
Kind of is
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
i've never used anything other than a laptop but it stays on my desk all the time
That's what my map looked like when I continued speedrun save
Map description still says it's from Shakra
thats actually a bit scary without thread storm
isnt the silkshot tool here i swear it was up one of these
That's snare setter
Not until faydown cloak
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
oh and rune harp
theyre just throwing a big tantrum
you motherfucker
huh that actually worked lol
waow nice
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
That explains so much, he was so bloody tanky
I just flea brew and flintslate and prayed he died before me
gonna let these pile up as high as they go itll be funny
huh i guess steel soul changes it which is pretty cool
||holy shit this crest lets me use 3 different silk skills???||
Wish that wasn't steel soul exclusive
There's that quest reward item that's kinda mid
steel soul exclusive quest??
Don't get your hopes up, it's not very exciting
Its for one of the most boring bosses in the game 🥹
What if ||void mass|| could move
well i died again as soon as i got a new mask so thats great
why am i attempting this again
maybe i should just save and quit
cause im getting discouraged at it
whatever i am gonna eat and suck it up and try again tonight i need to stop taking stupid risks and just take it slow
||i want a mod for the first hollow Knight that gives hornet all of her silk skills||
||any tips on widows third phase? (the one were she throws two bells at a time)||
||I think I usually did that phase with a safe approach, only dealing damage when absolutely possible, and I used reaper||
||also use silk for binding ONLY||
||i dont have reaper||
||i never really use slik spear anyway||
||Get reaper, it lets you get silk when hitting enemies after binding, can be found in greymoor in the chapel of the reaper||
ty
||I don't remember WHERE it is all ik is it's in the leftmost??? Side of greymoor you'll know when you find it||
||wouldnt matter anyway since i was too poor to buy the maps for greymoor and shellwood||
Lmao 💔
||what i do with the locked bell home?||
||The one with yarnaby?||
||which one??||
||the onw asking for a worthy specimin||
(alright spoilers for late(ish)-game quest) ||yeah that's yarnaby uhh come back to it when you get a curse in your shell and I don't mean getting infected with muckmaggot||
You guys do know, you don t have to spoiler things here right?
Can't believe silksong dies in the end
youre meant to
not here anymore
It's better to be safe than sorry
Fair enough
yeah, it has hornet’s leitmotif
taunt and wanderer’s crit multiply
flintslate and hunter’s focus adds
use longclaw
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
I don't see how % bonuses being additive is an unreasonable assumption
so its a true mult
Doesn't sound much harder to code than all mults either
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
its just extra effort tbh
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
It's not a preference, it's a different result
Slightly different but still
1.25*1.25 doesn't equal 150%
yeah? just 4 hits 
im just correcting someone thinking it was additive
Then how are you even answering this question
Are % bonuses additive or multiplicative
yea apparentl
there is no such thing s % bonus
how do you think you get a percentage lol
How do you think two percentage bonuses stack
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
What
no it’s like base needle damage * (multiplier + multiplier + ...)
yes
well also no
flintslate would be at the end of all of those outside of the bracket
it doesn’t 
so it would be damage + (mult + mult) * true mult
it would because it applies after everything else
according to wiki it adds 50% of needle damage
According to wiki flint is additive
needle
then the wiki should look at the code
Only true mult is wanderer's crit
i think you need to learn what additive means /srs
No
yes
taunt too
I think everyone here understands what's meant by additive % bonus except you
It says taunt is additive too
okay, how do you get 50% of nail damage additively
please show
write the equation
You add 50% on top of all other damage bonuses
okay write it
i’m pretty sure it actually isn’t, well at least according to a video about max damage in one hit 
If it's the only damage boost it's 1.5x, if it's with barbed it's 1.75x
unless they changed it in an update
Tbh wiki info is so different from what I've seen in those vids I don't know what to trust anymore
it adds a flat value that is 0.5*needle damage 
No one questions how a single bonus works
it does NOT
The question is how they stack
ITS literally a MULTIPLIER
Then explain what the remark about wanderer means
Why is every other bonus +% and only wanderer x3
cause it applies after everything
What difference does it make if you claim all damage bonuses are multiplicative
Order wouldn't matter
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
If there's no difference then why is it not +200%
Why apply specifically everything else
Show me how this works with multiple bonuses
because with the crit you just slap everything into parentheses and its easier
give me an example
Maxed out hunter and barbed
I love leitmotifs in these games
The Wormways soundtrack makes me want to do backflips
It's either 1.65x or almost 1.8x depending on how you stack them
nail damage + (nail damage*0.35 + nail damage*0.25)
huh nevermind it IS easier to apply it additively
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
i sat there for like 5 minutes and was like yeaaaaa no
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
Why not just do like
Nail damage * (1 + 0.25 + 0.15 + 0.25)
i forgor
turns out flintslate isnt true mult either
my rot is eating my brain away
- enemy damage reduction

i wonder if that applies to just nail damage or after everything 
This is funny I think
the hell is raging conch doing that high up? Unravelled and Craws are kinda low. Good list though
IT'S CALLED RHINED CHAPEL BECAUSE IT'S THE RUINED SHAMAN CHAPEL
lost my steel soul run in the bellvein of all places
We have :3 -Lotus
:3
I lost my 14th attempt today I'm coping so hard
widow always backpedals before doing that grounded slashing attack, unless she's cornered
she always does this move after throwing 3 sets of bells, or earlier at random
the attack can't be dodged if you are in her face when she performs it; her start lag is too small to jump away in time
I have 2 more days off from work to try beat it... then I'll have to wait a whole week before more attempts :3
Pain
multipliers can be added
base_damage * (1 + multiplier_1 + multiplier_2 ... + multiplier_n)
uhhh, yes that's exactly what I was asking 
no equipment first sinner 🔥
yea I saw, I was going down chat history
that sure was one of the convos of raincord 
I don't blame you though, confirmation bias can be very strong
Weaver
"This is where I watched my mom die sherma"
Farielo farime kaliosileme davifunciono (definitly wrong)
Lol
Is that fucking spiderman
no
No, it's weaverman
Shawabummer
I still say first sinner is friend shaped you can't prove me wrong
Something doesn't have to be cute to be friend shaped
Cool looking things are friend shaped too
looks like a mentor
like a uhh
like the type of character that teaches you moves in the beginning of the game just to be an endgame boss
She gets a single fight, a 10 seconds cutscene, and like a single line of dialogue
Favorite boss
Gang
Y'know that flea that looks like its under putrified ducts
How does one find that flea
yeah, on the right side of whispering vaults, this tall room, there should be a secret there, and also another secret as you fall
which then leads to the flee
nice
Savage beast fly so hard I beat the final boss for practice
Like that's not even a joke I was stuck on savage beast fly 2
Gave up
Beat the game
Beat savage beast fly immediately
||bell eater|| is NOT a dog
its a bad dog
Coyote
more steel souling yippee
gl
anyone else get a huge dopamine hit when getting a spool extension 
the way the fragments hit and then reverb when combining is sooo good
anyway, clawline time
Are you really using barbs on steel soul?!!?! -Lotus
trust its op
peak
it synergizes with hunter which is all about not getting hit
damage + damage, the math solves itself
math is mathing
the faster the bad guy dies, the less opportunities they have to damage you 
aight, going directly for faydown cloak now
Good luck bud -Lotus
am doing just fine, long as I don't facetank twice and lose the fractured mask
Thats true -Lotus
Fractured mask is goated -Lotus
Crust king khann was lowkey a good boss fight
Took me two trys
Coral tower was the only hard part about it
It was -Lotus
Coral tower was really fun -Lotus
Really wish we had an actuall coral region though -Lotus
I use fractured as a bell ring that am getting too hot with damage and as a way to not instantly lose to a double hit when at 4 masks
with multibinder, I can also heal to 5 masks and then make my way to a bench
Doesn't multibinder do four
The repair parts for my controller just arrived! meaning I'll be able to silksong soon again! Not today though, I've got a whole lot more to do before actually reparing the controller so I'll do that tomorrow morning when I've got more time
when losing the fractured and being at 1
fuck I forgot
oh I just realised that all silksong spoilers are allowed in here now, I should probably leave until I actually finished it in full
chat is this how weavers used to walk around 
this is the correct way to walk
it really is though
doesn't the weaver from hk scatters the exact same way
spi de y
omg no way, you can turn around and jump while scuttling 
AND YOU CAN CLIMB WALLS LMFAO
Oh you didn’t know? 
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
Has skuttlebrace ever even helped anyone? -Lotus
They are very high yeah
OH YEAH, IM SO HAPPY CROSS STITCH IS GETTING BUFFED
Sad that to get buffed it needed the blood of thread storm but hey you reap what you sow idk
Parry for life!
sigh
chat
so I really like silksong right?
so I decided to get some clay and honor it right
Is this how hornet looks like? Is this how she looks like? Spare me of my suffering and haunt me already.
(idk if this is the place to post this)
I love it lol -Lotus
TRUE
why isn't this her sprite team cherry?
I'm very dissapointed in you
they should replace the hornet statuette with your masterpiece
Honestly, that looks so good the statuette is just shameful in comparosin -Lotus
I might as well break it for shards -Lotus

ik right?
i mean what is there of bad about her?
her legs are uh.... perfect, probably
her eyes? completely straight trust me
absolute perfection, it's exactly how I imagine hornet would look irl
it's like she's standing right in front of me when I look at this
Un torments the error
❌ ❌ ❌
Also kills trobbio
Are you ok
trotro
trrrrroooobbiiioooooooooooo
thank you TC for bringing this little guy into our lives
I did trobbio with silkspear

rip
how the hell i get this bitch
bell beast

parkour zone behind the bell station
i think this is my last flea, how do I get it
greymoor top left
you would never believe it
but its greymoor top left
WHY??!?!!??! -Lotus
huh why what
Why is it greymoor, thats so stupid lol -lotus
this one flea literally gets harder by having the map
somehow
Well they had to make people go there somehow
it just baits you into thinking its underworks
