no tools

fossil sorrel

dont think so honestly

#

it takes a little bit of time for you to actually. get into the pogo after u input it

clever furnace
#

dude pinstress is gonna make me lose speed completion

clever furnace
#

no one has to say anything about pinstress? no tips at all?

digital robin
digital robin
#

The ground dash is easy to punish if you know how

misty isle
#

Run attack after the X slash is a nice way to squeeze in damage

digital robin
#

you can probably parry the projectiles to win i-frames

misty isle
#

Also the projectiles are parriable

clever furnace
#

ok phew I thought I was shadow muted or smth

digital robin
#

You can also use a stall Shaman build

#

to spam spells

#

3 hearts + weavelight means you can stay at range and spam nails, parry or threadstorm

#

depending of how aggro you want to be

clever furnace
# misty isle Spam clawline

yea I'm spamming clawline, it's giving me spacing issues though
and no I'm not cheesing, no tools, hunter barbed

fossil sorrel
#

thats auea

#

aura

fossil sorrel
#

i used cross stitch to punish the charge attack she does

#

other than that i just dodged

clever furnace
#

ok I forgot she can dash offscreen

fossil sorrel
#

i honestly didnt use clawline much

#

yeah

#

i had her throw me off the mountain once which ended the fight for me. after i was already back up

digital robin
#

Yea, if you jump down it cancels the fight

#

useful for steelsoul if you are scared

clever furnace
#

I'm already abusing running away from the fight, fuck honor I am not losing steel soul

fossil sorrel
#

barbed on steel soul ๐Ÿค

clever furnace
#

yes
genuinely good with hunter

digital robin
#

No

#

it's extremly useless

#

and a death sentence in Steel Soul

tawdry osprey
#

wdym its de definition of fun

clever furnace
#

dunno what u talking about
what's the risk if you just delete enemies

clever furnace
#

chat how's this loadout for surface ascent

opaque shard
#

Why multibinder

dim harbor
#

pretty nice, i found the grip to walls useful on it too

opaque shard
#

It aint that hard tbh

clever furnace
#

didn't need a single of these tools for the ascent lol

#

Whats the ascent? -Seth

#

the surface ascent, that one platforming challenge above the cradle

#

Show on map? -Seth

opaque shard
clever furnace
#

How do you get above the cradle? -Seth

#

silk soar

opaque shard
#

With silk soar

clever furnace
#

What is up there? -Seth

#

you really wanna know? I think you should find out tbh

#

Okay theb

#

All i found when i went up the cradle was the new silk skill

#

Did we miss something entirely? -Seth

#

Oh fun

opaque shard
#

Its like a whole new parkour section

clever furnace
#

How is its difficulty compared to white palace? -Seth

opaque shard
#

I wouldnt say its that hard tbh

clever furnace
#

Okay then

#

less than white palace for sure

quiet sentinel
clever furnace
#

No, hornet is bilewater -Seth

vocal canyon
#

fuck lost steel soul to last judge, time to go hitless her on a different save

barren ingot

didnt Path of Pain get added in lifeblood update ๐Ÿค”

hopefully we get another fun platforming segment down the line

Breaking news! New Groal cheese strat unlocked
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8J3-wk4GOo

This glitch is soooo much more than this one application, but hey this is the application I found first. And who could be upset about actually being able to use Hornet's Silk God mode in game? Expect to see major skips and testing to try and find the utilization of a literal out of bounds glitch that can seemingly be brought to every area of Pha...

#

chat is it normal i struggle so much in the chapel of the wanderer arena

clever furnace
#

wonder why resting gets rid of phasmium

opaque shard
#

Cuz sleeping cures all the diseases

clever furnace
#

man I'm so glad they changed hornet's voicelines when using silk skills
that roar she does adds so much power to them monksilly

light sleet
#

can i also talk abt regular hollowknight here or only silksong?

wooden sun
#

We're all Hollowknighting here

light sleet
#

cool, hornet is greenpath is beating me up so bad

wooden sun
#

Well, she's going to need to stay alive to be in the sequel. monksilly

clever furnace
#

is being short in Hallownest an attractive feature, considering they had a Shortโ„ข Kingยฎ?

#

and considering even the shortest bugs were taller than PK (at least when comparing eye level)

#

this is very important to HK lore

opaque shard
#

That is how he rizzed up herrah and white lady

clever furnace
#

also, why don't the vessels bear any resemblance towards white lady at all

deep in my heart at least

clever furnace

No, he is in love with greyroot -Seth

anyone know how to get into here?

can you get to city of tears before beating hornet?

#

um

#

technically yes

The blindfolds work well enough, the pale king just lied to her and stuff

hornet is cooking me

clever furnace
light sleet
clever furnace
#

ohisee

#

i recommend you keep your distance and don't neglect using your vengeful spirit

#

only heal while she's stunned

light sleet
#

would stalwart shell or soul catcher be better?

clever furnace
#

starwart if you like to facetank
soul catcher for minor extra spells and heals

light sleet
fossil sorrel
light sleet
#

ok so uh now where do i go after beating hornet

fossil sorrel
#

you should go explore

#

thats a part of the fun of hollow knight

light sleet
fossil sorrel
#

you xan take multiple paths

light sleet
#

cool

fossil sorrel
#

do you really have to ask for guidance here?

#

i feel like this is risking like

#

a lot of spoilers

#

but maybe you dont mind

light sleet
fossil sorrel
#

ooh

#

i highly recommend just trying to figure it out on your own then

#

its so fun

clever furnace
#

chances are, the genius game design of Hollow Knight will guide you in the right direction

#

especially considering you've seen people play it already

light sleet
#

this guys cool, im naming him gerald.

clever furnace
clever furnace
#

I sure would love to have the craws as allies, awesome creatures

clever furnace

it's like TC knew

light sleet
clever furnace
light sleet
#

this bouncing on these mushroom things are buggy

#

or confusing

clever furnace
dense wasp
#

does anyone have suggestions for these slots (reaper should have flea brew already)

light sleet
#

is this bounce even possible only with the moth wing cloak?

clever furnace
light sleet
dense wasp
#

suboptimal but if im using barbed im going for a no hit atp

clever furnace
#

yep, go big or go home with barbed

dense wasp
#

i really dont know what else is even good to run though especially with witch

#

you probably just put cogflies on it

opal totem
#

What isn't good to run

#

Any throwable to help dealing with flying enemies is good enough

clever furnace
#

mm hm
tools don't synergize much with the rest of hornet's kit
just throw something in and it'll probably do

#

fuck, I need the complete journal notes for the memento

dense wasp
#

i wish more of the plain throwable tools felt good

clever furnace
#

not even strong throwables feel good
you throw a pimpillo, it goes boom, and done

dense wasp
#

curveclaw/sickle is the only one that i like of the more standard ones

light sleet
#

the mantis are jumping me

dense wasp
#

voltvessels are really good though i accidently skipped phase 3 cogwork dancers with them because i was messing around

clever furnace
#

pretty much any strong tool does that when spammed

#

did that feel rewarding though

But then Team Cherry decided "nah, we're going to be based"

chat I did a thing
sadly I broke steel soul's honor and reset on quite a few of the act 3 fights
but I got 100% all mementos at least

#

and speed completion

#

even with the fails, I'd still not trade barbed for anything tbh, the damage is just too fun to leave

tawdry osprey
#

so

#

you finally did all steel soul?

clever furnace
#

yea

#

I did up until gms quitless

greymoor... thatโ€™s like some king of city of tears

#

i got the grindle crafting kit in act 1 but i forget if i got the architect one before or after this

opal totem
#

Just realized boss rush dlc will likely be the last so tc don't have to update it every time they add a new boss

#

Wonder what ambitious plans they could have for dlcs before that

wide ledge
#

imagine if they add hk bosses to silksongs gods and glory counterpart dlc

opal totem
#

Markoth if he was good

broken plover
#

I find Pharlids and little weavers adorable

split sluice
#

Itโ€™s almost time for the bilewater part of my silksong playthrough hunterglee

opal totem
#

Peak time

split sluice
#

The moment cannot arrive soon enough

split sluice
# opal totem Peak time

I still need to finish great taste of pharloom for the needle upgrade, but after that itโ€™s headed to the underworks to get vaultkeeperโ€™s melody

#

and then BILEWATER HOURS THROUGH WHISPERING VAULTS

opal totem
#

Twistedbudding time too

split sluice
#

Otherwise I would just bell beast into bilewater

opal totem
#

I want to play more silksong but steel soul keeps kicking my ass

split sluice
#

I needed my early bilewater hours so I got the bell beast station before clawline

opal totem
#

Yeah I'm usually unlocking bellway in act 1

split sluice
#

Bilewater is an addiction, do not try to help us we love it here

opal totem
#

True

split sluice
#

I just got a great idea

#

Like groal

#

Bilesinger Karmelita

opal totem
#

Groaltastic idea

split sluice
#

Ok but genuinely groal deserves more recognition outside of just being โ€˜the runback bossโ€™

opal totem
#

Tbh he has only like 3 attacks, he's not the most exciting boss

#

But I like him anyway

split sluice
#

He actually uses vengeful spirit, and is one of the first major clues to the fact that concepts from hollow knight will return

opal totem
#

Same way I like Lugoli

split sluice
#

Iโ€™m not the biggest lugoli fan tbh

opal totem
#

Understandable

#

I just like the vibes

#

There are some bosses that have mid gameplay but cool vibes

#

Crawfather is the best example

split sluice
#

Groal phase 2 is great lore though

#

I love how we get to see a bug actually harness soul in a familiar way

#

Not just teleporting around like A CERTAIN BOSS I COULD NAME

#

Ok on the topic of soul master/tyrant, the phase 1 theme is severely underrated

opal totem
#

It was one of the songs ever

#

I remember nothing about it

split sluice
opal totem
#

Funnily enough Trobbio is my least memorable boss theme in silksong despite how memorable the character is

split sluice
opal totem
#

If I didn't look it up and listen to it outside of the game I'd have no idea where it plays

split sluice
opal totem
#

That was more memorable

split sluice
#

That theme is so fucking hilarious (/pos)

#

I love how itโ€™s one of the most dramatic tracks in the game and itโ€™s just trobbio painting himself purple

clever furnace
#

i think i'm going to start steel soul attempts

split sluice
#

Anyways since I hate him Iโ€™m exiling trobbio to putrified ducts with no access to pale lake or heaven (bilewater)

opal totem
#

Mucked Trobbio real

split sluice
#

Iโ€™m in bilewater

hardy jolt
#

blows up bilewater with mind

split sluice
#

Congrats you just executed trobbio

hardy jolt
#

worth

#

also they're in putrified ducts not bilewater

split sluice
#

I rigged a trap in bilewater that kills trobbio

hardy jolt
split sluice
#

Anyways bilerwater time

barren ingot
#

how would trobbio react to being placed in bilewater

hardy jolt
#

no

#

i blew it up

#

no bilewater time

#

๐Ÿ’ฅ

split sluice
hardy jolt
split sluice
#

Also he goes to putrified ducts because I refuse to let him enter my haven

broken plover
#

I love how trobbio becomes ourple

#

I fucking HATE widows "oOoOo im gonna run across the floor and make the floor become spiked" attack

opal totem
#

Why

#

It's cool

broken plover
#

I have the skill issue

#

Thats why

#

I killed moorwing, but if I did the flea caravan skip, would they till appear again eventually

opal totem
#

Yeah

#

You can fight him in the room next to bellway after some time, not sure what the exact triggers are

split sluice
#

Ok I think this is a hot take

#

But I think ||lost laceโ€™s|| (heavy endgame spoilers) theme feels a bit too generic, I would have preferred if it focused more on what was actually occurring rather than just feeling uplifting constantly, it doesnโ€™t feel fitting at all.

wooden sun
#

Honestly, kinda agree

split sluice
#

I wouldโ€™ve loved if it included some piano similar to hollow knight, to really symbolize how much of an effect the void is having, and to foreshadow the ending

wooden sun
#

It doesn't really give me ||I'm all the way below the bottom of the world, surrounded by the darkness that wants to consume me, trying to save this kingdom from collapsing by saving this person from the darkness|| vibes.

split sluice
#

I think the music is one of the main reasons LL is my number two fight

wooden sun
#

What's your number one?

split sluice
#

Skarrsinger karmelita

wooden sun
#

ah

split sluice
#

Which is probably like the single best boss theme in all of hollow knight and silksong

opal totem
#

How can she sing and shout at the same time

wooden sun
#

I just find that boss fight funny in that the boss is singing their lungs out while they pummel you to death.

opal totem
#

Immersion broken, unplayable

split sluice
opal totem
#

At least it's still more playable than Lace having different pin

split sluice
#

Ok but genuinely every time I see a boss ranking put Karmelita at number 2 Iโ€™m a bit disappointed

#

Lost lace is an incredible final boss donโ€™t get me wrong, but Karmelita has an absolutely perfect flow that makes the fight so much fun

opal totem
#

Boss rankings are kinda boring

#

Top3 is always the same

split sluice
#

Genuinely across all of gaming, Karmelita is my second favorite boss fight

#

Between the PRIME SOULS FROM ULTRAKILL

opal totem
#

Tbh Minos starts feeling too basic after all the stuff we've gotten after that

split sluice
#

Heโ€™s still incredibly fun

#

but yeah

#

My top 3 is
3) minos
2) Karmelita

  1. Sisyphus
opal totem
#

What difficulty

split sluice
#

Brutal

opal totem
#

Pain

#

I can't have fun with brutal Sisyphus

split sluice
#

Thatโ€™s pretty much the only difficulty I play atp

opal totem
#

Same but that's one thing I still can't figure out

split sluice
#

Brutal Sisyphus is definitely โ€œHOLY FUCKโ€ tier but itโ€™s the fun kind of โ€œholy fuckโ€

#

Iโ€™m now officially in bilewater ๐Ÿฅน

opal totem
#

Can you enter bilewater unofficially

split sluice
opal totem
#

True

split sluice
#

Anyways in terms of brutal sisyphus it actually wasnโ€™t that bad my first time around

#

Then my second time I got annihilated

opal totem
#

I learned what's the brutal change for Sisyphus long after p ranking it and I still can't beat him consistently

#

The rest of the level is fun though

split sluice
#

I think the sheer difficulty of brutal Sisyphus is an important part of the fight

#

Regardless, it still feels fair (IMO)

opal totem
#

Not saying it should be easier

split sluice
#

Bilewater bellway reached

quiet sentinel
#

this is what hornet gets up to after binding gms monksilly

hardy jolt
quiet sentinel
#

youre silly :3

opal totem
#

Have you seen the new groal skip

#

With voltvessels, again

quiet sentinel
#

who wouldve guessed

#

is it the one in putrified or another new one

hardy jolt
opal totem
#

Putrified is the old one

quiet sentinel
#

whats thw new one

#

i havent seen that

opal totem
#

New one is about pogoing on your vessel balls using snaresetter

split sluice
#

The misfortune of having to leave bilewater to go fight lugoli in order to finish great tasteโ€ฆ

opal totem
#

Apparently works with drill too

split sluice
#

Choral chambers is not honest with itโ€™s appearance

#

Bilewater is honest

#

This is one reason why bilewater is superior

opal totem
#

Bilewater ost in question

split sluice
#

Ok but look at bilewater

clever furnace
#

so glad moorwing's saws no longer deal double damage

hardy jolt
#

whaaaaaaat

#

make them do 4 damage

quiet sentinel

broken plover
#

The true final boss of silksong is slugcheerstothat but EVIL

dense wasp
#

early snare setter and skipping part of mount fay (which is only notable if youre doing it without clawline to make it easier)

#

those are just the ones that only require one jump so theres probably some chain stuff you can do but i havent put time to do that

#

oh and for rando it would let you get upper memoriam checks early and probably putrified ducts

split sluice
#

I just thought of really random but I think would be cool cosmetic feature

#

Instead of just being learned and then used to reach the cradle, each of the melodies could be used individually instead of the default needolin, same effects but with a different melody

#

to add onto that concept, the standard needolin could become weaverโ€™s melody

opal totem
#

Missed opportunity for the rhythm minigame

hi

hi snowy!

clever furnace
#

hello i made it past cogwork dancers on my steel soul run

#

so far i've just been following the speedrun path with some detours for safety stuff but i think i'll try to get more upgrades before stuff like high halls arena

quiet sentinel
#

hh arena was my furthest steel soul death so im praying for you

opal totem
#

Getting Shakra's help makes it relatively easy

#

But that requires surviving bilewater

quiet sentinel
#

is garmond viable i heard he can help too

opaque shard
#

He can help too but you have to fight him first

quiet sentinel
#

at least his fight isn't lethal so its still an option

opal totem
#

Would be cool if second sentinel was also an option

C-c-c-CENSOR THAT BOSS!!!!

distant holly
#

tbh i kinda underestimated hunterโ€™s focus

#

i tried to practice trobbio fight for speedrun achievement later, and it was difficult monksilly. and i did it first try after getting the hunter crest upgraded monkwail

#

apparently, getting 6+ attacks without getting hit is way more common than i thought

opal totem
#

You also get two hits worth of combo for a single clawline use

distant holly
#

cross stitch is also pretty great for the tornado monksilly

distant holly
opaque shard
distant holly
#

itโ€™s faster to get clawline after trobbio

opaque shard

It keeps pushing him back during his tornado attack

distant holly

i skipped silk storm slugtroll

opaque shard

Its my go to silk skill lol

distant holly
#

can you skip somehow craw lake arena to get it

opaque shard

Maybe with silksoar lol

it might be useful for high halls arena though

It is

idk how iโ€™m gonna beat it ๐Ÿ’”

I have figured out how to make the bell beast โ€˜purrโ€™ and I feel like it might become a vocal stim

Is there any reason to replay the slab sequence? I've just been killing the wandenflies with cages
ig you can get the keys of indolent and heretic, but like, almost everything of importance in the slab is behind apostate locks
and when you do get apostate you can enter the slab with it, I see no point then

Meh I donโ€™t think itโ€™s worth

Quicker to just go later

you can get it later

hello bugs of Hallownest

opaque shard
#

Hello

clever furnace
#

hi dizzy

#

Can you exit the slab without hornet's stuff?
I am thinking you could open the memory locket tunnel with the key of apostate before getting captured

and cage wardenflies stop spawning once you get to the top room of the slab according to the wiki

first is needolin now this???

barren ingot
#

this is something that definitely wont be in any NMG routes

icy basin
#

now i wonder if this is gonna be allowed in low%

barren ingot
#

low% runs typically arent the type of thing that go on speedrun websites, although i guess it depends on the game whether or not it would

barren ingot
#

usually low% runs allow everything

#

because it's a test of how badly you can break the game in the first place :^)

icy basin

i wonder if skurry will use that to cut percentage in the form of ||clawline trobbio mirror and lace silkheart for bellbeast silkheart||

clever furnace

chat how's my score in juggle

it caps at 4, but their fall rate gets faster

so the hit rhythm gets faster

i watched the any% speedrun and i almost cried from laughing it was so funny how broken the game is

clever furnace

wanderer is the goat for all of these but flea bounce

clever furnace

low%'s rating is also based on how fast can you complete the run

but obv a run with less percent is always more valuable

no more 40 hour long low% speedruns, tragic

https://youtu.be/k8J3-wk4GOo oh this is pretty cool btw (someone prob shared this already)

This glitch is soooo much more than this one application, but hey this is the application I found first. And who could be upset about actually being able to use Hornet's Silk God mode in game? Expect to see major skips and testing to try and find the utilization of a literal out of bounds glitch that can seemingly be brought to every area of Pha...

its so sad that the weaver queen crest isnt realmonkwail

although it does like. ACTUALLY affects the way your silk meter works??? which is pretty surprising

More so, it uncaps the silk limit

clever furnace

oohh

#

huh

#

my idea of the way games innerly work is sooo ignorant......

#

/silly

distant holly
#

itโ€™s kinda funny seeing things that used to do two damage do one now

#

like they usually keep the slashing animation (which indicates 2 one mask damage in a row)

#

and the patches happened during my playthrough, so idk all things changed monksilly

#

apparently, cogs dealt double damage? hunterbaffled

#

did spinning things in the citadel vents too?? or iโ€™m imagining it monkwail

mellow sigil
#

yyeeahhh

#

every environmental hazard that isnt like
a spike probably dealt two.....

clever furnace
#

idk why the steam still does double damage

#

lava doing 2 masks is understandable especially with there being a tool to reduce it but why steam

mellow sigil
#

steam can be extremely damaging!!! Its painful for me to even like. Put my hand above boiling water

#

Im not sure though. If its more damaging that literal moving crushing cogs and blades

clever furnace

yeah thatโ€™s what i mean

distant holly

also kinda funny inconsistency now, bells used by bell beast and bell eater do double damage, but by widow and in bellhart just one

mellow sigil
#

they did two before???

#

that I also forgor

clever furnace
#

yea widow was significantly less forgiving

distant holly
#

lore reason: they used cheaper extra light weight bells in bellhart

mellow sigil
#

or maybe Widow just throws them at you too WEAKLYhunterclose

#

WEAK

clever furnace
#

meanwhile the bells go down so hard they bounce high off the floor

mellow sigil
#

lore: they bounce because they have the bouncing liquid from Portal splashed on them

distant holly

lore: phantom does 2 masks damage with parry because hornet does too (2.2 needle damage with cross stitch) slugwoke

so loreful

(not including multihits)

oh yeah

i forgot

yea i found that out when trying it out with the final boss

yes, you take 2 masks when touching voided enemies or getting hit by a void drop

oh lol

clever furnace
#

or magnetic dice luck monksilly

icy basin
#

unless it works like carefree where the first hit is 0%

#

then in that case 6 procs

clever furnace
#

how does the dice protect multihits
does it have a chance to trigger every hit?

icy basin
#

yes

clever furnace
#

you just need to trigger it once to negate 4 damage

icy basin
#

oh yea lmao

#

so the dice protect 8 masks

#

with dream luck

distant holly
#

twice

icy basin
#

nvm

#

4 masks

distant holly
#

the attack would deal 3 x 2 damage

#

wait

icy basin
#

wait its 6 masks

#

with barbed

#

aka less than a bomb guy in deep docks blowing you up into lava with barbed

#

(2 + 2) * 2 = 8 masks

distant holly
#

why do dice not work against environmental damage

clever furnace
#

we talking about a hypothetical reality where lace attacks did 2 masks each hit for 4 total
in her 3 masks move, she'd do 6 if that was the case, or 12 with barbed
negating 1 of the 3 hits would reduce the damage to 8
