Its just a useful tool when Wanderer isnt/too dangerous to be close
yeah
Its one and a half slashes, pretty good yeah
erm, hunter level 2 + barbed 
35 damage 💰
isnt that fully charged
Your THAT type huh?
Get away from me, freak
(/silly)
Yes
the true no hit strat
It ironically synergizes really well with each other lol
Though, sadly, still less damage compared to tool spam 
tool spam too broken
yep, unexpected synergy
don't get hit for more damage + more damage but higher punishment for getting hit
the "just don't get hit" build 
I would like to talk about lore btw
What are yalls thoughts on the Cursed child ending? Imo it kinda fits with the new theory we have on the White Lady
really scary ending
what theory on white lady
im very unupdated on lore
The theory is that the cursed child and white lady are similar/maybe the same species, but the White lady is the result of a root consuming a pale being
People suspect that the white lady ate the pale king's corpse for power, which is why they are so close to each other, the pale king gave the corpse as they were trying to become smaller for the kingdom, win win
Heavy speculation btw, prolly not true, but fun to think about
There are tons
The main one is that the white lady is like the root
oh
hmmm that sounds interesting
Im sad we dont see the child 
I guess it makes sense since it lets us be creative with it, but I'd like go see it
silksong dlc: child update
Act 4 with twisted child confirmed?!?!?
would be more of an alternate act 3 tho 
Nah, the update is that Hornet does the Lost lace fight with the twisted child
Chaos ensues
i find so funny the game straight up doesnt let you fight LL with the child
hm, how would a higher being greyroot look
Yeah, lore wise though its interesting cause its averse to the void
I suspect similar to the white lady, with its root's being a pale glow
silksong dlc will include fight with Found Lace
Holy shit we find Lace?
News to me
oops sorry thats developer exclusive spoilers

i am in fact. the Team CHerry
They seem very similar in a lot of aspects
One is obviously a pale being though
Full sillouhette of her is beautiful and shows how expansive her root system is while being binded
Please lets stop talking about it
(The person isnt a fan of the topic as well)
Oh
I just wanted to throw in my thoughts sorry
woah what where does this come from
Godhome I think
I understand but I also dont want to cause a heated argument in here, the conversation happened and for now it has moved on
Nothing against yoy, just want to make sure it doesnt explode on our faces and we all just yell at each other
Godhome, its a beautiful image, there are others for the other higher beings as well
Ehh prolly not, hasty on my part
oh but I lvoe explosions
It didn't break rules or directly cause issues
Late to this but
We do.
Breathing is done by instinct, as well as holding our breath underwater
Everything we know to do automatically is taught through instinct
You flinch right? That's instinct to avoid pain
You move out of the way of danger don't you? Also instinct to avoid dying
We may not live on instinct but a lot of our actions are done through instinct.
I had it saved as a just in case (As an fyi this message is from Troupe Master Grimm or as their discord id shows, ambanti)
Here, you can just post it again lol
(Or dont, prolly dont)
This is a message from me :3
i like it i never saw it
Edited it with proper credits
I saw their response to my message is it alright if I give one last response on the topic
I understand
, but yeah for the reasons I've stated above, we move on
So no response?
Got it
I found I funny skong animation but idk who made it cuz it was sent to me
Does that mean I can't send it since I can't provide credit?
Preferably dont send it? I am not fully caught up with how we deal with those
@unreal hedge How do we deal with those?
got swift step
Wait you got wanderers before swift step?
Sad
Neato
I can ask the othe- oh wait Randi's here
Nice -Falena
What a rollercoaster of emotions -Falena
And he-💥
i think there's no actual rule regarding always crediting posted art, outside of art/meme channels?
Wait so what does that mean
Post it then
Let us see this funny animation
yea, wanted a dps buff asap
(sorry for lack of credits it was sent to me by a friend so idk who made it)

I knew the second I fought that damn boss it was gonna be memed
What did people call him?
Ass Jim?
ass jim
Yessss -Falena
lace time
chat, guess how many crits do I land on lace
6
0
Lace
0 was the answer
Damn, seems like the gamblers life aint for you
squid game
Wait is the hole just a part of her mask or is it broken?
Cuz in the transformation cutscene she already has it
also got hit once, she dashed into me when I was pursuing her 
OH BTW, what challenge should I do for my third steel soul? I did a steel soul run with Hunters crest as practice and it went well :D
ahh fair
beast crest
(didn't heal)
No tools
At all
And no non mandatory silk skill use
Damaged yeah
Her mask got damaged either from wear and tear or from fighting against GMS
beat the game without playing the game
no quitting unless sitting at a bench
Beast crest and no tools, neato
Gotcha
Beast crest as an fyi is uber broken for fights, we did damage calcs and its faster attack and more damage then wanderers base
And no Sherma
Leave him in the ward
really good
Didnt like em anyway
Should have died in act 3 smh smh
(JK DONT KILL ME!)
:(
k imma
hunter's march now
I like Sherma, but I rarely got a chance to meet them in my first playthrough, so I wasnt that attached
Randomized boss order
also no benches unless you need to save so you can close the game
My friends fuckin loved them
Yeah no, I like to have fun
WAIT
THERES A FUNNY THING YOU CAN DO WITH BEAST
You should do Pilgrimage.
Your crest already only gives one mask of health back, you can overdose and healing will be the same
This is silksong not rw
Shoo
You're in the wrong area, pal
Already did it sprinkles, isnt Fenton your friend or something
This means you cant bench...ever though
what is steel soul's challenge if you can retreat to bench when you would've died otherwise 
Oh true true
So you WILL do my challenge after all!
I should also only play with one hand
Im not gonna cheese with the overdose mechanic
You can take a pilgramige to the citadel -Falean
I didnt for my first completed steel soul, wont for my third
Sprinkles is trans, an ally, whatever you believe they are
yes sprinkles is canonically a transfem
the game is about that
Wait when was this cannon? I am not caught up
Must've been the third season
I havent watched it fully
They should make wiki pages for the server bots
Holy shit real? I see
So I can learn about them
They should make it so half the Wiki talks about Inv
and only Inv
And then the server only talks about Inv
and then the devs only make Inv content
I think I like Inv
(the story is that Animoso's original submission used "he" for Sprinkles
and when turned into a bot, the democratically elected pronouns were she/they/it, hence transgender)
Inv is fart :P -Falena


horse Wikipedia page
g
Horses are not allowed in the server nor in the wikis, any and all horse content is illegal, as instated now
🐴
/pos
horses aren't real
Oh shit I accidently posted horse conte-💥
what about mules
Life goals
They are half illegal
oh, so you can flying enemy pogo skip to this mask shard
nice
I love seeing Sheo and Nailmaster making dolls action figures and just loving each others presence
He seems so much happier with sheo
You can skip a lot of things
Did you know you can skip bell beast? You can literally soft lock yourself if you dont get wall climb, skip bell beast, then get forced into the slab
Imprisoned%
Gays! -Falena
He really does
He made the nail as an extension of itself, when it could not be perfected, he believed his life was fulfilled, but when he found Sheo he found new meaning :D
The pinmaster is amazing cause hes the opposite, he sees it as an art, so he sees it as a fun project to maintain such a great weapon!
I might do a randomized boss order run and just hope I get something possible
The nailmaster's entierly existence is the art, they took a shallow piece of nothing and created perfection
The pinmaster loves the art and maintained a great tool and made it better, love the symbolism!
What if they make this into an ending and the cutscene shows hornet walking around the slab before sitting at a bench and fade to black
my favorite skip is to get to the hunter's march treasury by enemy pogo
the 360-380 rosary reward is very fat for early game
I almost asked "isn't pin master a woman?"
I was thinking of pinstress
I am dumb
yea I was thinking of pinstress too
Ending, Hornet is the new fly boss, becoming the boss you fight in the alternate game TC makes in 12 years, Pablo
chat, how many crits do I land on the skarrgard
1
Nah
Hornet just sits there
It fades to black
Fades back to just hornets cloak and mask
Roll credits
I landed four (4) ‼️ 
Crits are probably the part of wanderer crest I care about the least
Since she is a pale being she doesnt need to eat at all
She literally just stays there for eternity 
Its only 2% too, its very weird
That's much worse lol
Yeah that’s the reason I don’t really care about them
can anyone calculate how much does crits affect your dps 
It would have been better if it was earned imo
Iirc it's x3 per crit
By 2% or something close to that
what 🥹
Maybe after a successful silk skill?
Oh wait it increases it by 4%
But it's rare so prolly not much
best crest 🔥
That way wanderer crest is even more op
Nonsense, Wanderes just need a liiiiitttle bit more dps
Come on, just give me more!
MORE!
The solution is m1
You heard me! My goal has been clear from the start
Infect the whole server with Inv! To make everyone talk about Inv!

Slowly I have been in the sidelines, but thanks to my efforts, at least a quarter of the staff are Inv sympathizers! We are growing stronger!
(/silly ofc)
In all honesty i think wanderer crest is essentially the needle focused equivalent to architect
Pyro personified
Both are extremely effective when played properly
chat it's hunter's march arena time, surely I don't lose steel soul to this 
surely
3 minutes later: 
nah i trust
Inv is now banned
done
Did Shakra help I heard Shakra can help that one
On my first playthrough I didn’t start heavily using wanderer until I got longclaw
What a fool I was
What is longclaw again -Falena
on my first playthough i used wanderer for 1 minute and never used it again
Longnail but skong i think

Random chance Im fairly certain
Thats how High halls work
Wait what?!?!?!?
HOW DO YOU GET IT
-Falena
Its usefulness and values varies between crests, strongest on wanderer with a 30% increase in range
Wish in Putrified ducts, talk with the huntress
If you are in act 3, talk to one of her kids in the same place
i never dpubted you
That gay couple literally had no chance against the homophobic hornet
I still find it so funny how one of the few genuine wrong things Hornet has done was to kill the Green Prince, its so tragic
He was just a grieving man who lost his husband and is taking time to think about it
He literally tells you THREE TIMES he wants his own personal space in the time being
Its like going to a Widows home and them stabbing them 28 times, like qhar?!?!
LOL TRUE
Hornet is homophobic
I will say, for my Steel Soul run I made sure the heart in my collection was Skarrsinger's heart, because her fight is my complete fav
Still, I literally didnt need to kill karmelita OR Green Prince 
now that you put it that way, the heart on display is seriously messed up
yes wow
It just beats as she sleeps
Its her white noise smh smh
still the ones you are intended to get are the other ones so the green prince was never necesarry and could be the "canon" display heart
You can also play the whiteward cylinder as she sleep 😉
That is fair
Karmelita wanted to die, so its slightly less screwed up
But even then, Green Prince dying is just screwed up no matter what
The canon in game is whatever happens in your save until a sequel is made imo
Yeah, it really is 
I guess she goes by the philosophy of killing the few to save the many
OH MY GOD, I JUST REMEMBERED
If you kill Karmelita after getting the everbloom, you still have the dialogue with GIllie saying "This was necessary to save the world, I had to do this terrible act"
NO YOU DIDNT HORNET, YOU ARE PUTTING IT ON YOUR SHELF
IT HAPPENED WITH MY STEEL SOUL SAVE LOL
I WAS FUCKING FLABBERGASTED
I had to do it for Steel Heart, but Hornet literally did NOT need to do it lore wise LOL
She forgets to mention that "This was necessary to save the world" just meant she needed the heart for her vibe collection, which is her world
oh well, karmelita was already on death row when we find her
I mean shes like 1000000 years old
needs the entire collection or she dies, good one hornet🥹
Yeah but its still really funny 
Wasnt necessary, but still happened and was willing to kill
Also you could say that green prince was a mercy kill in a way ig
Karmelita would have probably preferred to die in her prime, Hornet gave her just that, doesnt change that she could have just let her live
he lost his kingdom and lover so there was nothing left for him
Maybe theyre lesbianing in the bug heaven lol
I understand, but still, he had his own life, that is still enough to rebuild something or make anew
He was grieving, but he didnt want to die, we dont get to determine that for him, but we did it anyway
there's always more road to travel
we just kill prince with all of his grief taken to the grave
A person can lose everything and they can still rebuild and become anew, which is why his death is considered wrong by my and many other peoples standards
did someone say disposable thumbs
Nailsmith also asks for death after making the pure nail maybe the philosophy of hallownest is just fucked up lol
two hours ago
I found a really interesting account in steam. It has 9 positive reviews (1 phrase long saying something along the lines of "good game") and then 1 negative review (Silksong). That one being a giant wall of text that can't even be screenshot due to how long it is

DONT DISPOSE YOUR THUMBS
Yeah, thats expected from negative reviews, they usually have a lot more to say lol
this reminds me of the absolute no-lifer that is Obey The Fist
fuck that guy
The hornet took me 2 hours guy
In case someone is curious
no that's the different one
Thats what society wants you to think
you can get everbloom without Karmelita?
Oh thats not too bad
Realizes i can scroll right 😨 -Falena
HOW MUCH TEXT IS THIS
Yes, skip Karmelit and use Green prince's heart instead, it still counts
Once you get the Everbloom, you can fight Karmelita and her heart will be on the shelf instead of Green Princes
Its what i did for my Steel Soul save
gimme a sec lemme send a screenshot of it on the shelf, it actually really fits with the vibe :D
Green Prince is probably easier and can be used to skip 1 heart
I would have done it to replace The Coral King because of how long the arena fight is
Verdania is technically longer, but its less of a damn headache
Coral Castle Gauntlet is so fun though -Falena
Their first review on contrast is "MMMHMMM (Upvoted TF2 review)"
People skip The Pollen heart with it because Seth can actually kill you in Steel Soul, but I practiced his fight a shit ton so I was able to do it
So seeing the contrast was wild
Do they a review on hk?
Naaa
Its long and dying makes you do it all over again if you dont beat the third arena, its good for lore and setting but I found it too frustrating and long
TF2, Civ 5, Isaac Rebirth, Terraria, Undertale, Factorio, Library of Ruina, Limbus Company, Picayne Dreans, Silksong
@unreal hedge Karmelita's heart in the bell hart is such a vibe
I find the length great
And also it does sound a little silly that you are complaning about having to restart it when you are playing steel soul
Its like nothing compared to a permadeath -Falena
Read it, pretty fair review. I like the point that this game only had 8 playtester, they should have had way way more
You can store the hearts in your house?
I'm assuming only one since you can get four and have to use 3
Only the fourth one
I can't choose which one to keep 
You have to do it after you turn the first three you dont want to have in your house turned into the everbloom
Once you do that, any heart can be kept
And it autoselect Green if you have the 4 when meeting the snails
I did the heart of the boss I liked the most, Karmelita
Yeah, need to give 3 hearts then go for the 4th one, which will act as memento. Otherwise it will default to conjoined heart as memento
hm the flea caravan is honestly pretty useless as skip method
I got the fifth flea on the middle of far fields, and at that point I can just keep going for drifter's
after drifter's, I can just go up greymoor
Its meant to be a funny skip method, its not really meant to be a good one
The real skip method is Wormways after Dash
isnt it just a "i dont want to see moorwing" method
I beat all flea minigames sensiboooo
In my speedrun I grinded for the simple key got the one in wormways and skipped lace and moorwing
Which is easy if you farm a bit in deep docks
and Skips Lace (gets you the secret dialogue), Corus and Morwing
Why 🐌 ?
Lace 2 skip when
I mentioned the REAL method outside caravan XD
Lost lace skip when?
Game skip when
Clearly they know an even faster method
What if I randomly say a boss using symbols instead of letters then like
Act like you know what I said
Me after doing ACE to teleport into Mother Silk 🗿 🚬
silksong speedruns in 2026 will include doing arbitrary code execution in the moss mother fight and rolling credits
Pay me
No I'M gonna act like you know what I said
So dev tools in rw?
ok theres actually no way you thought about ACE too
Oh wait this isnt a rw server people wont know that
I mean, they kinda do already? As in glitched speedruns
I HATE 0-"3 _5-( like
Correct. YOU COPIED ME! You are a copy CAT

Ok, gonna go drive my bike to get home, fun talkin with yall! Cya!!
BUT BUT my idea was writen at the same time as yours im not a <@&1249103251920392254> !!!
0-"3 _5-( felt like a filler boss before #"9,34 dancers
I want to make a male weaver oc but they're gonna be male because they're TRANS RAAAHHHHH
That's just hunter from Hollow knight
ouh weavers being all-female technically usnt a skong spoiler right ......
really?!??! what?!??
nah
also you ndont needa spoil stuff here anymore
Oh I'm just joking. He just has similar eyes
why would you do this to me
nah I just accidentally send that same message to spoiler genderal and was confused why didnt anyone deleted it haha
oh 
love those covetous pilgrims
rosary piñatas 
chat how many crits on sister splinter
0 lol
Another steel soul attempt?
yea
lost to sister splinter last time
her minions are really annoying
hm, turns out you can simply bait their attack for a easy opening
The Strat™ imo is to save up your silk skills for them to appear, and then quickly kill em in one go using one
the silk storm ability is probably the best to use there
2 crits
3 hits, one for double damage

ye you win this one

Hunter prolly wasnt a weaver, prolly a wolf spider cause no silk and focus on hunting
Its prolly not a weaver, but its a male spider
double moss mother time
one hit
deleted the first mother before she could summon the second 
skull tyrant time
if first hollow knight was about the harm of child neglect, and silksong is anti religion, which other problem will TC make a game about
ez no hit
Why does google give you the reaper crest down slash
fourth chorus time
how many steel soul attempts did you had already:000
awh
i love the way Sherma says raventa near the bone gate
First sinner shakra garmond(act 2) and all dream bosses don't kill so that's why they're goated for skong
And steel soul
to be fair, it's impossible to lose to Garmond
beast time
not a bad s.beastfly ig
Got my stuff done on the sixth try
say that again..

What is skynx? -falena
styx's replacement npc on steel soul
silk eaters' fuction is useless, so you can give them to skynx for rosaries
I think the buzzword was husk lol
probably different
what in the world is a spoiler in this
El servidor ha bloqueado este contenido
ive heard that the dead body is just shedded skin but like i doubt that and if you go above to their masks none are replaced or gone which like it makes sense if they just didnt include that detail but its still worth considering
spanish jumpscare
Ooh cool! -Falena
yea I'm not american, crazy right? 
greetings from Chile
Yes, finland is real, I learned this from ultrakill
Silksong taught me life in australia is hard
a shame that focus doesn't increase skill damage
it makes it so the skill does less damage overall than to keep slashing
for example, with focus I can kill some dudes in just 3 hits
but a silk spear doesn't kill them outright
as an example right now, my sharpened needle does 11 damage when focused
but silkspear still does 27
silkspear does 27 / 11 = 2.4545x needle damage when focused
what is focus again I completely forgor
if I were to equip barbed, the problem becomes larger
I'd do 14 damage but silkspear does 27
27 / 14 = ~1.9286x needle damage
@mellow sigil when upgraded, hunter gets a new mechanic called focus
land 6 hits without getting hit yourself and get your needle damage increased by 25%
ooooohh:0 didnt know about it
so its kinda forced on you (since you get it from not getting hit simply) but it also decreases skill dmg???
it doesn't decrease it, rather, it doesn't increase it together with needle damage
so, when focused, silk skills lose value over slashes
awh
but that's just a nitpick at the end of the day
the extra silk from not binding has to go somewhere so might as well use skills 

oh my god
sands of karak + putrified ducts 
great conchflies time
done
Wawawa -Falena
Good job! 
last judge time
OOH!!!!!!!
Good luck! -Falena
beat her, but imma retry because it was not that good
Retry? -Falena
yea, quit without saving
Okay then?
Why? -Falena
too many hits
want to show myself I can kill her without having to heal so much
Okay then
Gl!
bilewater time
bilewater done
damn, needle strikes are quite effective against wraiths
anyway mist done
ez
didn't remember phantom being so slow 😪
They are pretty slow all things considered
But it’s still an incredible fight
ye, it's fun to revisit
Stuck in Deep docks, Any idea where to go?
I just noticed, the second skull tyrant has a cracked skull
that makes me wonder, maybe this skull tyrant picked up the skull from the first tyrant 
do you have swift step
also be warned that this chat is full spoilers
||you should go to the citadel||
I think I missed that, Also im fine with spoilers
ok ||lace is actually ness||
imma get some sharpening asap
damn gl, the last phase is tough
psa, don't try to hit lampbearer projectiles
I just had a random thought of the four memory bosses:
each one of them tests an ‘aspect’ of silksong
huh
true, gauntlet exploration boss fight and uhh flowers?
The lack of floor
the markoth treatment
Karmelita tests the boss fight aspect, Khann/Coral tower tests normal enemy combat, Nyleth tests platforming, and Clover dancers/Lost verdania test exploration
Walling
also spoilers lol
Path of pain in question:
There are no spoilers
yes, spoilers
It’s permitted to yap full spoilers here
yea
o ok ig the spoiler tag everything era's over now
Just for here
ok
I think that's why they removed coral area, just so we don't have two hearts be about exploring
lace dies in endgame
level 2 needle
yey
nop cuz they need dlc ideas
yayyy
There's no coral area dlc
I still really want coral gorge to be a full area
yet
Never
or will it? (vsauce music plays)
I wouldn't mind it if it was a part of the main map but as a memory it doesn't seem that fun
Verdania already feels a bit meh because how isolated from the rest of the game it is
I think the way I would want it executed would be that, while still a memory, there would be benches (obviously), an obtainable map, and specific points in the memory that correlate to actual points in sands of karak/blasted steps that you can use the needolin to exit the memory from (also granting memory re-entry points when you go to one of those places in the ‘current’ world)
trobbio time
surely I don't fumble this boss
ok... I didn't die ig 
didn't lose the fractured either so, I guess it was good enough
lmao
damn, he ignores the needolin
ok enough fooling with this guy
clawline aquired
adquired
SHRINE GUARDIAN SETH MADE ME FEEL THINGS I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD
fuck that guy
Who Seth?
Do you get any rewards for saving the fleas like in hollow knight with the grubs
yes
though at a way slower pace
Im assuming mostly rosaries? Or different stuff
different stuff
The reward is saving the fleas
oh, garmond wants to duel
I am so glad (assuming its the first) ||lace only does 1 mask of damage (except that flurry rush attack, screw that attack)||
wonder if it's intended for garmond and zaza to be a pathetic boss
Oh fuck
Tbh he feels more like a regular enemy
not like they're the most serious characters
damn, I never though needle strike was this strong
with hunter and barbed, needle strikes become a pocket instakill on demand
Steel soul barbed, what could go wrong
almost lost a few times, but it's been going well
only one color is correct, obviously
k time to get cursed for the fun 
purple of course
omg curse swings soooo slow
Is memorium soundtrack not in the ost
witch obtained
How does one choose which heart to display
Do I choose which three hearts to use
No
If you have 4 conjoined is left out, otherwise whichever 3 you have
I have four
left hornet sleeping at her shiny steel painted bellhome
deserved after a long barbed steel souling session
If I had known I wouldve done khann last after I turned in the other 3
Coral tower so good I made a language and a culture for an underwater species after beating it
Hearts turned in
Why do hollow knight+ silksong bosses have a trend of naming a boss "Lost larry" and making it 10x more threatening
(Lost kin was kind of a joke though)
Any secrets in red memory I should know
They're secrets, you shouldn't know them
Gr
THE
THE ELEV
AHH
I couldn't get a screen recording of the hive queen and hornet
Sad
may be worth a look around
Cuz idk if I can go there again and miss a memory locket or sum
I'd say no, but I remember I didn't try to silk soar after reliving a memory
Well there's prob not a ceiling
nah, I don't think there's any object of value in there, it's a story sequence 
there may be some lore or smth?
Yeah but then what's mossbag for
How I feel potentially spoiling everything to a guy who didn't know act 3 exists
they also eat voltvessels 
And cogflies
and cogflies
I think they die if the cogfly's poisoned though
The take poison damage, don't think it kills them
Pimpillo does
Oh huh, if you win the gamble against Lumble he survives
he does? I thought the died on the way in blasted steps
Well maybe he did
on that wall climb tunnel towards last judge
But he didn't die at his gambling spot, that's an improvement
I could swear that corpse looked like lumble
Eh most pilgrims look the same
thing is, it isn't there usually
When he gives you the dice he says something about being lucky with the pilgrimage, I'd like to think it means he'll succeed
But maybe not, haven't seen that corpse
Might check it after I'm done with SoK
Also I was told Lumble has 40 rosaries and you have to win it all before he gives you dice, he gave up after losing just 12
Maybe he loses some in act 2
nah it was less than 40 on act 1
I think went to far I dont want to fight this 4 armed metal bug wtf oh god holy shit fuck fuck fuck no please im so young I have so much to live for oh my god
Forth chorus my beloathed.....
Nvm this dumb robots moves predictable as fuck 🤣
seekers soul + first sinner with no faydown
i'm probably weeks behind everyone from not playing but i just have steel soul left now
any% steel soul seems fun but 100% seems so tedious so idk when i'll start
It's not much different from the regular 100%
i just find a lot of the 100% progression to be annoying compared to the original and repeatedly needing to do it on every attempt would suck, for example the like 10 quests that are basically just "kill x amount of this enemy"
Iirc most if not all of those are skippable
And even if not you complete them by just playing the game normally
Except the broodfeast one
important tech
by doing all of memorium without faydown cloak (requires 3 beast momentum skips and a damage boost) you can make mount fay slightly shorter
for beastfly 2 i just try to immediately kill the summons with silkspear
WOAH
THATS SO AWESOME
oh yeah its actually accessible pretty early too since you can skip wings by pogoing on the guy to get up to memorium 
you just do beast momentum skips
that works too
Its like spell pogo 🥹
also this application of voltvessels + drill isnt relevant its just something neat
the really notable thing is you can get to putrified without faydown
I hate bees they broke my mask
Wuh
wait can you also get the snare setter
act 3 wingless? 
act 3 without faydown would be possible if it wasnt for the fact its hard coded to require it
oh :<
but you can meet all the requirements to do so
Fartdown cloak...
but i believe that you can do everything that requires faydown pre act 3 without it
well
Mount fay is like
Evil celeste...
theres some stuff in mount fay that isnt possible and bilewater might have some stuff that isnt
The hk down spell
but excluding those two everything is possible to obtain to my knowledge
Nah celeste is more evil
the voltvessel drill skip might also let you reach the act 3 part of far fields early though id have to try it
i think its way too high up
its possible with faydown and scuttlebrace so its almost certainly possible
randomizers are going to be absurd i am not excited for the seed where you have to do fay without clawline
oh and wisp thicket ofc since theres an invisible wall if you dont have faydown
the current skips seem pretty accessible outside of some scuttlebrace stuff which im happy about
whats the scuttlebrace movement tech? 
ofc we havent had much time yet but theres probably not anything like shriek pogos
idk how it works but it lets you get up walls that you otherwise couldnt (like the way to shaman crest and the way to act 3 far fields)
oooh
It's getting fixed I think
it is
i should probably start playing on the beta i want to test how good wispfire is now
it went from 10 to 17 damage which is big
Oh
these let you get to grindles shop and jim in act 1 btw
beast crest is just the goat i fear
If only it was as good for normal gameplay
it is
it shreds bosses especially if they have a dash towards you
savage beastfly 2 with it was pretty easy because you can just pogo through their dash and take no damage
and also the pogo is just good in general
i thought you were a beast crest supporter
It's one of the useable crests ever
😭
i think its 5th in the ranking above witch and reaper
I don't know what kind of skill it requires to shred bosses but it doesn't seem to be worth it
i dont think its that hard you just have to learn to control the pogo and thats the main learning curve
Anything with small hitbox and/or short damage windows I struggled with as beast
Pogo is least of my issues with it
Though I do miss sprint+pogo combo
sprint + neutral (+neutral sometimes) combo exists
Also not a big fan of those leaps on sprint and strike attacks but that's something you can get used to I guess
i can tolerate the charge attack being bad because it lets me do skips
i barely use it in combat though
Skips aren't real so I can barely tolerate it
when i get to practicing the bosses for steel soul i might just stick with hunter's crest for all of them
what did you have in your vesticrest
Injector band always
if you want an easier steel soul id recommend architect
I wanted to try druid eyes but
tacks + curveclaw + cogfly kills most things very fast
theres also plasmium overdose but i dont like that so i havent used it personally
I still need to try druid's eyes on wanderer
i dont get the druids eyes hype
What hype
i find it really bad but people seem to think its really good
I don't think there are many people who really think that
most people ive talked to have said that
It's just something to help making facetanking builds work
also have to stop myself from instinctively wanting to check every corner even if i know there's nothing good
idk i just find most of the healing/defense tools pretty underwhelming outside of mask and when used on witch
I don't think they're underwhelming but I don't feel like I need them either
Except injector band
Which I also don't really need but faster heal just feels nice
Meanwhile in steel soul not a single offensive blue tool ever gets equipped
1 extra silk per getting hit is quite alot and builds up fast
its really nice to have
druid eyes my beloved
What if I don't get hit
then um... dont use it i guess
Also 0.5 silk per hit until mid game
you can get it like the moment you get into the citadel
I can't get it until post mount fay
you can pogo off the guy to get into memorium
Skips aren't real
Oh and it gets even worse in act 3
not really
maybe im just biased but it feels bad when it has a higher cost than grubsong and a smaller effect (1/3 of a mask and 1/4 of a spell compared to just under 1/2 of a mask and spell)
thats truee
for some reason even tho i like druid eyes in this game i never used grubsong in hk
it feels more valuable in this game
its just hard to justify for me here when its competing with stuff like volt and longclaw
i use those two alongside druid eyes 
ive been using them more and more
ive been trying to get my curveclaw rebounds with hunter
does this mean what i think it means 
can you hit curveclaw back outwards after it comes back
yeah
I almost never felt the need for longclaw in this game
While I played most of hk with long nail/mark of pride
hunters down pogo doesnt work with it currently though unless youre on beta
thats so cool
it takes the 3rd/4th slot because there isnt something better usually
same tbh kinda but i cant find any better alternatives 
as i play the game more i find injector bands and multibinder less and less neccasary
might be different with the sawtooth circlet and wispfire buff though
so i dont use them anymore
I feel like multibinder has better value than druid's eves
i just like the fact that i can use druid eyes for spells too so i can spam spells even more 
its very versatile
I don t think you can get anywhere but to bench unless something new was found
oh
rip
Free bench tho
Also theres skips a person got wings in act 1 so yeah still you techniclly can
I wonder how lower %runs will look like for true ending
I want to see a run where you hold as many unique items in the inventory at once as possible
higher beings, these words are for you alone
Hello
hollow knight city building game from the point of view of pale king
next civilization game
You start with only buzzsaws
nono, you ONLY have buzzsaws, and you have to carve buildings out of them!
And you sacrifice millions of children until the 'right' one appears
Then you let it eat the sun

somehow expected the first death to be to Morrowing

So far we have died multiple times stupidly in far fields -Atropos
Anyways the death was jumping off the ground while far from Morrowing to heal, and got hit by the sawblade that was in curved motion during the flash
isnt it Moor-wing
Fair nough
My first steel death was uber embarassing 
Died while trying to do sister splinter skip
ironically it is safer to be closer to moorwing and heal in the air
lots of bosses have moves that are trickier to avoid when further out
shoutout to huge bosses that have a weapon of their past assasination attempts lodged in their head, one of my favourite tropes
It has no consistent way to attack you in the air if you are far, so if you are really scared do that
None of the bosses are good at swatting you compared to hitting you on the ground
anyways I think I am getting decent at fights rn
I can beat all early game bosses before music even starts looping
thanks man, you just enlightened me, havent considered that before
I give the best tips
wonder how much damage am I doing with needle strike
Hope tis helps
If you don't yell git gud before a fight are you really playing skong
second Moorwing death on Steel Soul wohoo
The damage of Needle Strikes multiplies with other Needle damage increases
hm, does it add with other multipliers, or is it after other multipliers, like wanderer crit
I cant believe I can do Lace 2 more consistently than Moorwing
ah, looking at https://hollowknight.wiki/w/Damage_Values_and_Enemy_Health_(Silksong)#Needle, it seems that the damage is multiplied before any modifiers, directly to the needle damage value
Real
ok chat guess: will I die at Moorwing next attempt
Nah you got this
Just make sure to yell garama
13 * (1 + 0.25 + 0.25) = 19.5
rounded to even, that makes it 20
20 times 2 strikes grands a total of 40 damage, not too bad hm
ok Moss Mother music didnt even reach the second part 💔
I think I might be gitting gud
nvm I'm wrong, I took the non-needle strike value kek
18 * 1.5 = 27
27 * 2 is 54, pretty good
4 off of doing a needle strike with palesteel 
from 36 without buffs to 54 with barbed focus
ok arena music didnt loop too 
holy shit just landed a beautiful pogo chain across a room 🥹
damn it's SO satifying to needle strike those pesky underlofts 
actually it's satisfying to delete all of the underworkers 
Mercy kill
apparently the melody Lace is humming before first battle is the title screen theme lol
got too cocky and then the magnetising parry attack got me 💔
at least it wasnt Moorwing
gotta git better
not much else that can help you against lace 1, at most you can get a spool extension and druid's eye in that stage
lace 1 aint even that hard lol
you can get wanderer too if the issue is not running into lace 
Yeah the fight is easy af, I was just trying to do it as fast as possible
lace 1 harder than 2 and 3
Parried the attack, mini jump + pogo, got hit by magnetising hitbox before the parry landed
The most annoying part of steel soul is losing the dash/sprint everytime you die -Atropos
REAL
you purposefully clash with attacks? nice
Yeah, its more fun that way
Parrying in silksong is fun, and useful against lace
Oh wow, that sounds fun -Atropos
Playing defensively for a second run would be boring, so dealing as much damage as possible is just my playstyle now
i can relate, I would never part with hunter barbed for more health options 
i think the boss' name is Elder Scrolls IV
Nah it more wink
Isn't Morrowind TES III
tbh I just remembered it was one of the Elder Scrolls games and assumed it was 4th
I have never played any TES game
wonder why sherma has a girl va
sound cuter ig?
Female va voice a good amount of male characters in general
Some people have crazy range
interesting
I forgot who made this abomination but you need to see it
is this like, a lore room or smth, it's just 8 silk behind a hefty paywall
like, yea, i get it, silk was and still is a big deal for the citadel 
Oh God no
imma empty the machine for fun
at least on this room you get to talk with a recurring npc
Thinking of doing a coin flip with every future Steel Soul death
Heads is next run, tails is modding hell
Everyone talks about weavers looking different in hollow knight but
What if they have regional variants like pokemon
mount fay time
I mean first sinner also looks different compared to other weavers
hi chat :)
hi
barbed mount fay, what could go wrong 
Wait do the freezing do double damage?
fuck sinners road
I only hate sinnersroad cuz mukroaches
I hate the muckmaggots -Atropos
Atla is the biggest nest, right?
I think so ye
nohit climb 
Imagine we get a dlc that adds a massive weavenest called like "The Grand Weavenest" and there's a bunch of dead weavers but like 3 who are still alive and you can talk to them
Second sinner third sinner and fourth sinner
got my wings
sigh... hi styx...
finally...
Styx is weird
i only have one achievement to get
I like him, he's neat
lets gooo
bro got nothing to devote his life to
He is a redditor
oh i could fight phantom rn
TRUE
not complainign though cough
anywho
well hello there exhaust organ
Thoughts on going to Last Judge for steel soul -Atropos
go for it
Okay -Atropos
Thats the route we always want to go on
While it is longer
The last judge is a funner boss than phantom imo
fuck, I'm missing one (1) tool slot to upgrade hunter to level 2
so I need one (1) memory locket
What exactly are the numbers for the upgrades? -Atropos
first visit hunter 1
12 yellow vesticrest
20 blue vesticrest
27 hunter 2
32 sylphsong
all slots from crests except hunter count, red, blue, yellow, and silk skill slot
Sylphsong? -Atropos
no slot from hunter counts, not even from memory locket unlocks
silk on bench
Ohh, havent gottent that yet -Atropos
chat, opinions on sharpdart
imo, it's not very convenient with its start lag and very long distance
Its fart, lol -Atropos
Its like the only one we will never use
When the sinner is first
You are good at art -Atropos
chat almost lost to a flintflame flyer 
really evil enemy, tanky and throws double damage projectiles
good that ignis doesn't summon these guys lol
Godhome update:
lesson learned ig, do not the deep docks without magma bell
even with a "don't get hit" build, it is devastating to get my masks evaporated by constant double damage
Thats why I didnt do the deep docks key rooms till I was max gear on steel soul lol
hopping in here to show a photo i took after Suffering
Birb
i think it’s a moth but yeah lol
wait, does magma bell do anything against flintflame explosions 
Test it out >=}
i could swear I got double damaged by it
What which one 
For me the double slash counted as two seperate hits
im confusion i dont think that ever happened to me
8dmg
Dash+upper slash +spin+down slash
"But hey it's balanced because you don't lose two silk per hit taken anymore"
She took me like 10 attempts
And I dont think I ever lost 8 mask in any of thoso attempts
yea the flyswatter is really harsh, low lag and massive hitbox
she pretty much gets you guaranteed if ure off the ground, or too close when she does it
Didn't get in the combo of doom death and agony ig
Im just built diffrent
I lost two masks at the phase transition then died shortly after on my latest attempt
| me fr
v
forebrothers time...
Dont forget the fractured mask and magma bell
locking in hard
this time I got the shining needle, magma bell and an extra mask
VERY IMPORTANT USE MAGMA BELL
and also learned to abuse needle strikes
I got chills when I heard the white palace motif before I even started that section of red memory
Am I a nerd for that
got em
Matterafact
If I didn't barely cry at media I would be bawling my eyes out at the white palace section of red memory
The motif is beautiful
Seth too
hunter 2 time
How many memory lockets are needed for each Eva upgrade
it has the bug shell under those feathers but tbh it really seemed like Ari got really into birds while designing the enemies
the craws themselves are basically ravens
Is it possible craws aren't seduced by the haunting because like
They're shown to have some conscious (wearing black cloaks in act 3 in mourning)
do they show strands when using the needolin on them
I dont think crawfather does?
Not on pc rn tho
hunter 2 obtained
i can now have a staggering 65% extra damage when full focus 
Uhhh idk I'm fighting lace 3 rn
the bug believes itself capable of avoiding damage
I feel so basic using only hunter
i would much prefer Hunter Crest if it just removed some percentage of focus upon getting hit
yea, it's not that hard when you nuke enemies in a few hits
not all of it
6 hits without getting hit aint that hard
shut the FUCK up lace
beauty
