quiet sentinel

also vuly

#

this is a spoiler thread

exotic cobalt
#

yea i noticedd

quiet sentinel
#

you should probably not be here

exotic cobalt
#

#

tru

quiet sentinel
#

i dont want you getting spoiled

#

you can share progress in my dms :3

exotic cobalt
#

okie :3

quiet sentinel
exotic cobalt
#

didnt read any messages here so

quiet sentinel
#

i forgot most of it

exotic cobalt
quiet sentinel
#

i dont even remember there being dialogue

#

maybe only between karmaleta and prince since they can actually talk unlike the corpses x3

wise monolith
#

true

#

wawa

clever furnace
#

looking at gilly dialogue, it seems that there's a chance that the hearts are actually sort of the core of their respective biomes, so I wonder what's gonna happen to them after some time, will they just disappear and become part of the wasteland?

wise monolith
#

well verdania was regrowing

#

so..

clever furnace
#

wonder why hornet didn't go take the heart of the moss grotto monksilly

wise monolith
#

i think it could just be

#

the bugs themselves

barren ingot
wise monolith
#

hm

barren ingot
#

west sounds boring and wastelandy

wise monolith
#

on one hand

barren ingot
#

east could just be More Regions of any kind

tawdry osprey
#

eastward sounds interesting for me

barren ingot
#

east would be the most classic silksong regions like we've already seen

#

pale lake could have some interesting stuff

#

down is Abyss ofc, and I don't know what all could be interesting down there

wise monolith
#

i think eastward is my best bet but downward...

barren ingot
#

maybe Abysshome (godhome after the ending where it gets fucked up by the abyss)

clever furnace
#

uhhh, abyss city monksilly

tawdry osprey
#

abysstopia

broken plover
#

Hornet fistfights Zote to the death in the new Silksong movie

barren ingot
wise monolith
barren ingot
tawdry osprey
#

also upwards sounds interesting but also too fanmade to add anything up

#

like it would just sound fake

wise monolith
split sluice
#

Shade lord is a fight I would love to see

wise monolith
#

you know what i want?

barren ingot
#

new and improved Voided Radiance fight™: literally just the radiance with the basic void attacks from act 3

wise monolith
#

a post game dlc

hardy jolt
barren ingot
tawdry osprey
barren ingot
#

we're buddies.

wise monolith
#

i want to see them rebuilding

wise monolith
barren ingot
tawdry osprey
split sluice
#

I think if there is a shade lord fight there shouldn’t be a full defeat of it, but instead seperating the knight from it

hardy jolt
#

absolute grandmother... absolute silk.. uh

split sluice
wise monolith
wise monolith
hardy jolt
barren ingot
hardy jolt
split sluice
wise monolith
#

would be awesome sauce

barren ingot
#

this isnt even a theory

#

what are they talking about

wise monolith
barren ingot
#

Subjective Opinion: Is Silksong ACTUALLY Too Hard?

wise monolith
#

how do i put this?

#

lame /silly

hardy jolt
split sluice
#

I don’t think the shade lord at the point we see it by silksong can be fully defeated in it’s current state

tawdry osprey
#

a lot of people say Grandmother silk instead of Grand mother silk, so just add the actual grandmother as a dlc secret final boss

wise monolith
#

i want to see more of the void ecosystem

#

like

hardy jolt
#

grand grandmother silk

wise monolith
#

...

split sluice
wise monolith
#

i cant talk about the story important end game area in act 3 </3

wise monolith
wise monolith
barren ingot
barren ingot
#

I don't think anyone ever beat that

split sluice
#

and now a dead pale being

tawdry osprey
wise monolith
#

but

barren ingot
#

ignoring the concept of Abysshome, I think my order of preference would be:

  1. Up
  2. East
  3. Down
  4. West
wise monolith
#

exploring the voids depths would be so cool

barren ingot
#

exploring the surface sounds neat.

barren ingot
#

but I could see some thing where you get like, an upgraded diving bell from the diving bell guy and use that to descend into the abyss

#

for whatever reason

split sluice
wise monolith
#

i was more thinking something to do with the flower

barren ingot
wise monolith
#

but that was used up

wise monolith
tawdry osprey
#

yeah i was about to say the flower is just gone so the abyss is too big of a threat to actually reenter idk

barren ingot
#

wow lol I said hunter

#

rain world am i right

split sluice
wise monolith
#

guys remember when people thought the knight was like
perfect
or near perfect

wise monolith
barren ingot
#

I mean, it's Technically something you could go back and forth over

but yeah I don't think our knight is hollow or whatever that means

wise monolith
#

going off of void ending

clever furnace
#

still dunno what to make about the "given focus" form of the knight being flashed very briefly on the ending cutscene

barren ingot
wise monolith
#

the knight def has while ig isnt a personality?
but still it is a mind to think and stuff

barren ingot
#

void heart type business

#

I don't think you need void heart for godhome ending but that's besides the point

split sluice
#

Ok I just came up with an idea

clever furnace
barren ingot
clever furnace
#

god of gods

split sluice
tawdry osprey
barren ingot
#

I couldn't imagine much, she seems to regret spending so much time there

#

second sentinel dialogue and all

#

I am curious about what could've happened between hornet and the cured hollow knight post-godhome ending

split sluice
wise monolith
#

i think having hornet revisit hallownest would be cool but a focus on it wouldnt be good
like an entire act 4 feels
bad

wise monolith
barren ingot
#

chat what is the void a metaphor for

it has GOTTA be a metaphor

#

void screams metaphor

wise monolith
#

void is a metaphor how nothing can be perfect, using an empty thing to mold it to your will will only lead to pain

split sluice
barren ingot
#

doin whatever she is doin to protect lace in act 3

split sluice
wise monolith
split sluice
#

Considering how they directly go after platforms

wise monolith
#

hmm true.,,,,,,.

#

but again

#

GMS

barren ingot
#

I wonder if hornet's height would mess up some of hollow knight's level design

#

maaayybee? I feel like the doors are typically tall enough

barren ingot
wise monolith
#

or redesign

split sluice
barren ingot
#

baby hornet prequel dlc

#

that way you can use knight height

#

it's foolproof

#

we can learn how to nail with the bee friends.

clever furnace
#

yea, hornet's height is too off the scale of hallownest monksilly

barren ingot
#

and like, talk to the pale king or whatever

wise monolith
split sluice
#

I think more pale king content would be peak

clever furnace
#

scuttebrace

split sluice
wise monolith
#

why didnt the pale king just
hate his child is he stupid??

unreal hedge
#

regarding act 3, interesting note is that much of it is internally referred to as black threads

wise monolith
#

oh yeah

#

you can see

barren ingot
#

they are very straight

wise monolith
#

the threads get soaked by void

#

you can see it

split sluice
wise monolith
#

this will be the end of the time travel DLC

clever furnace
wise monolith
#

we explore all 3 regions and then we go to knight

wise monolith
split sluice
wise monolith
split sluice
clever furnace
#

y'all think godhome 2 would actually work for silksong? monksilly

unreal hedge
wise monolith
wise monolith
#

i hope they do something new instead of just god home tho

split sluice
#

“Higher beings, these words are for you alone: Bell beast OP, team Cherry please nerf”

barren ingot
#

Voidhome™ seems viable enough

wise monolith
#

maybe we find the corpse of the uhm er godseeker

split sluice
wise monolith
#

then we use the elegy of the deep

barren ingot
#

presumably pharloom is quite phar away

wise monolith
barren ingot
#

phar phar away even

clever furnace
#

i hope the equivalent of bindings will be done in a more fun way

split sluice
barren ingot
#

have fun!

wise monolith
split sluice
#

I think hallownest is a better name than pharloom

wise monolith
#

hallow nes

#

the nest that is hallow

#

phar loom

#

uh

#

cant think of anything for pharloom

#

hallow nest makes more sense which i think makes it better

#

cant think of any reason pharloom would be named that

hardy jolt
#

silk oriented kingdom and loom

wise monolith
#

ok but phar??

hardy jolt
#

um

#

its very

#

far

#

from hallownest

#

trust

wise monolith
#

lmao

#

hallownest geocentric theory

wise monolith
#

hornet is just not actually attempting to kill her

#

thats what me thinks

#

(And you fight bell beast in the first part of the game where you are weak sooo)

#

also

#

i dont think GMS really means to be fought

hardy jolt
#

shade lord vs goam who wins

wise monolith
#

he strength comes from threads and controll

tawdry osprey
#

who goam

hardy jolt
wise monolith
tawdry osprey
#

oh

#

didny know they did have a name

wise monolith
#

these guys are the real strongest in the universe

tawdry osprey
#

i thought it was just a way to say groal

split sluice
foggy grotto
#

I am confused by this quest

#

I am outside what I believe to be the ||"cage of one who raged against the silken lie"||

#

but nothing is happening

#

and I see nothing to do

hardy jolt
#

do you hear anything

wise monolith
#

honestly one of my favorite theories about dlc is fighting the dead pinmaster

foggy grotto
wooden sun
foggy grotto
#

well that would explain it

opal totem
#

Yeah you do

foggy grotto
#

ty

wooden sun
#

monksilly ||Mushroom Man our beloved||

hardy jolt
#

oh monkwail

#

i didnt register that th others werent done already 💔

foggy grotto
#

is there a ||chapel that I haven't found yet or something rivflabbergasted ||

#

I know that I'm missing a crest

opal totem
#

There's a chapel you forgot about

wooden sun
opal totem
#

Likely also related to the missing crest

foggy grotto
#

after which I'll just check all the other chapels I guess

wooden sun
foggy grotto
#

wait

#

no that doesn't make sense either

wooden sun
#

monksilly I hope I didn't put the wrong idea in your head because I'm known for doing that

foggy grotto
#

well we'll find out soon I guess

#

ok I found it monksilly

wooden sun
quiet sentinel
#

wruff

foggy grotto
#

I get the feeling this is an elaborate joke set up

wise monolith
#

found this again

#

they will wither like fall plants then regrow
thats hwo i see it

foggy grotto
#

ok I am confused again

wise monolith
#

me thinks we see the stages of this will all 3

#

karmilla is recent

#

khann is in the middle of dying

foggy grotto
#

I already went to ||cradle|| and ||last judge||

wise monolith
#

and the plant l;adys region has regrown

opal totem
#

When my chapel is fallen

barren ingot
wooden sun
foggy grotto
barren ingot
foggy grotto
#

I know where it is probably

#

unless it's in ||terminus for no reason||

barren ingot
#

||You'll need to use Silk Soar.|| <- Here's the direct advice for if you get stuck and want to use it later

foggy grotto
#

I have done that climb too many times

#

this will be my 4th time going through there

barren ingot
#

just wanna make sure we're thinking of the same area

opal totem
#

Just use the shortcut then

foggy grotto
foggy grotto
#

THERE'S A SHORTCUT??

opal totem
#

Did you not open it

foggy grotto
#

where is it supposed to be

barren ingot
#

||anyways, the mushroom spot is at the very highest spot before you reach the top room.||

foggy grotto
#

||terminus?||

opal totem
#

I think you can also apply voltvessels skip on it

#

Higher

barren ingot
foggy grotto
#

I was talking about the shortcut

barren ingot
barren ingot
queen trench
#

quick question (my controller's repaired so I can finally play silksong again) did they change the courier's quests to no longer have a time limit?

foggy grotto
#

just last one left

barren ingot
#

oh I see now that someone told you

barren ingot
#

ok describe exactly how you're getting to this high area you're talking about

queen trench
#

also reply ping pls

opal totem
#

Others are damage based

barren ingot
#

I thought the basic camp ones used a timer as well?

#

just not the other quest ones

opal totem
#

Pretty sure they didn't

wooden sun
#

Only rasher has the time time limit, as it's the only one that has the dripping particles indicating it's going bad

#

All others will only de-increment with damage or slamming you face into a wall.

barren ingot
#

yknow what would be a funny useless gimmick

#

if going to mount fay froze the timer on the rasher

#

for ✨immersion✨

foggy grotto
#

OMG

wooden sun
#

That would imply the much more dangerous going to Deep Docks and having it decay faster

opal totem
#

Maybe it already works this way but no one tried

foggy grotto
#

I ACCIDENTLLY TRIGGERED THE ENDING

#

NOOOOOOO

opal totem
#

How do you trigger the ending accidentally

foggy grotto
#

WHY DOES PRESSING DOWN DO THAT

barren ingot
#

how does one accidentally- yeah

wooden sun
#

which ending?

barren ingot
#

I don't know what you're talking about actually

foggy grotto
barren ingot
#

that doesn't help

foggy grotto
#

you can ||claim the act two ending||

#

||where GMS should be||

#

I was trying to do the ||up spear thing||

opal totem
#

That's not what happened

wooden sun
foggy grotto
#

and for some fucking reason

barren ingot
#

yeah no you didnt get an ending lol

wooden sun
foggy grotto
#

...

barren ingot
#

a very nice one

foggy grotto
#

I must have closed out the game the first time I did that

wooden sun
barren ingot
#

does it or rune rage have higher DPS? 🤔

#

I hear more people talking about rune rage

#

but it seems very good as well

opal totem
#

Unlike rune rage it hits

foggy grotto
barren ingot
#

wild

foggy grotto
#

unless the youtube video I watched is outdated

barren ingot
#

I dont recall hearing about any significant nerfs or buffs to silk skills

#

so it's probably still relevant

opal totem
#

Rune rage and sharp dart got buffed, thread storm nerfed

foggy grotto
#

I see

barren ingot
#

these wiki writers are thinking with their whole brains

#

genius plot

foggy grotto
#

ok I should probably equip wanderer

hardy jolt
# foggy grotto in act three

||me when i accidentally go to the abyss then accidentally dive in it then accidentally kill lost lace then accidentally silk soar out of it /silly||

LOOK AT THIS WIKI PICTURE WHAT

clever furnace
wise monolith
barren ingot
#

every wiki page starts somewhere

wise monolith
#

this is like the only one that looks like this too 🥹

wooden sun
#

You didn't add those? hunterbaffled

barren ingot
#

be the change you want to see in the world

#

add a better image

clever furnace
sudden plover
#

The bugs are MORE evil now!?

clever furnace
#

silkspear also pierces

barren ingot
#

my personal favorite was the dash silk ability

clever furnace
#

sharpdart

barren ingot
#

because it gives damage but doubles as an evasive maneuver if you get cornered

opal totem
#

If rather cry for silkspear hitbox width buff

barren ingot
#

shade dash from hollow knight Two

sudden plover
#

Question

I WANT THE FUCKING FESTIVAL WHEN DO I GET THIS SHIT

wise monolith
#

yeah!!

clever furnace
#

get all fleas

wise monolith
#

YEAH!

#

IM GONNA BE THE CHANGE I WANNA SEE IN THE WORLD!

barren ingot
wise monolith
#

IM HEAT FLAMESMAN!!

clever furnace
#

nods

sudden plover
#

What now

clever furnace
#

all fleas

barren ingot
#

talk to Vog if you havent already and get the maps

wise monolith
#

is this a good wiki pic

clever furnace
#

oh, flea caravan must also move to pale lake if they haven't already

sudden plover
#

I have lake, vog, piece of shit, and act 3

clever furnace
#

all fleas then, all 30

foggy grotto
#

well that was certainly a quest

sudden plover
#

...

foggy grotto
#

hardest platforming section in the game for NOTHING

sudden plover
#

You need all fleas to get to the lake

foggy grotto
#

you can be missing a few

sudden plover
#

You don't?

#

Damn

#

Idk they said even the stragglers were brought back

foggy grotto
#

oh wait I can't read

#

you're not talking about triggering act three

#

whoops

wise monolith
#

ok i dont know if i can edit uhm

#

i will not be the change i want to see in thre world ig

sudden plover
#

FLICK YOURE ALIVE

#

MY FRIEND

wise monolith
#

oh ok i figured it out woop woop!

sudden plover
#

Even the birds are mad what the fuck

wise monolith
#

i have become the change i wanted to see in the world

split sluice
#

Silksong act ranking
3) Citadel of song, feels the most tedious of all of them, and while the new areas all look nice, they all blend together and you spend far too much time in choral chambers
2) Pharloom, a great introduction act, areas are all visually distinct from each other, Bosses are a strong set, and exploration feels like it’s at its peak

  1. Abyss, this act is bordering on perfection, my only complaints are that the void enemies are a little too tanky and there aren’t many new areas. Regardless this act has some of the best bosses in all of video games, and the new areas that are introduced are some of the most vibrant and stunning areas. That is all without bringing up what solidifies this act for me: the story, the void feels present, it’s aggressive and it’s tearing the world down, compared to the more subtle play of act 1 and 2, you can well and truly feel how the void has changed things. and to top it all off, is that ending that is a beautiful sendoff to the two hollow knight games colliding in such an incredible way.
opal totem
#

That but reverse

split sluice
#

Me when half of my typing was act 3 focused (I may like the act idk)

opal totem
#

I like side content

#

So act 3 kinda smells

split sluice
#

Fair

#

Act 3 is definitely the act that focuses the most on the main story

#

It kinda makes sense there wouldn’t be much side content because hornet is dead set on stopping the void

opal totem
#

I wish at least it had more exploration

split sluice
#

Yeah that’s one of my two main issues with the act

#

There were really only two new areas added

clever furnace
#

i like the ending but not the final boss

barren ingot
#

I don't mind act 3 at all from a story perspective, but it does make postgame a lot less enjoyable

#

hence why a new postgame DLC would be great

#

act 2's worldstate is just more fun as it stands

clever furnace
#

since godhome was mentioned earlier i hope we're not just going to be getting like..absolute lost lace or something at the end

opal totem
#

We need absolute gms

split sluice
#

if there was one thing I could change about the final boss, it would be making lost lace the penultimate boss, and bringing in the shade lord as the actual final boss

opal totem
#

Or having voided gms join mid battle

split sluice
#

Really just some kind of actual higher being participation

clever furnace
#

the fight itself is great but it's just so disappointing the final boss is the third time fighting the same character

opal totem
#

I sure hope we don't get another boss rush ending where we defeat the void without ever touching lace and gms

split sluice
#

I do think lost lace is important from a story perspective, but there needs to be something else

clever furnace
#

i wish it was more like sekiro if you know how the final boss there is

split sluice
#

Maybe as a last ditch effort by the void to consume all three beings in the cocoon

#

Also instead of a standard and intense boss theme, I think the shade lord’s theme should be abyss ambience with some of the OG hollow knight motif

barren ingot
#

I can't think of a reasonable explanation for why we'd be fighting shade lord/knight in the first place unfortunately

foggy grotto
#

yeah ||void seems chill with hornet as per cutscene after beating lost lace||

#

it would also feel weird imo

#

why are we randomly fighting the void for no reason at the very end of the game

opal totem
#

Idk because void evil

foggy grotto
#

the introduction of the void in act three already feels a bit out of left field

clever furnace
#

shade lord also feels too expected but i wish there was some other final boss instead of it being just lace 3

foggy grotto
#

it should have just been a lace/gms duo fight

#

I assumed that's what phase two would be when I fought her

distant holly
#

hornet fights in godhome because of godseekers

hardy jolt
#

speaking of the void stuff

#

the voidheart says the void is united in hk but in silksong shit is NOT united monkwail

#

the knight had to come themselves and tell the rest of the void to not kill hornet

opal totem
#

Proof that silksong is a prequel

clever furnace
#

Before bed I just want to randomly say
needle strike good, use when able
that's all byee

#

isn't it just the knight being able to unite the void instead of the void as a whole being united

foggy grotto
#

hornet actually does all of silksong before coming back to rescue him

clever furnace
#

that is why they become the "shade lord" monksilly

hardy jolt
foggy grotto
#

I always read into it as tk being united with the void

#

and the void is comprised of many different parts

#

shades, the goop, shade lord

distant holly
clever furnace
#

hollow knight but celeste 2

foggy grotto
#

you know you could totally replace madeline with hollow knight in celeste and it makes complete sense

distant holly
barren ingot
foggy grotto
#

everybody talking about prequels and sequels

#

what about presentquels

opal totem
#

What about official AU

foggy grotto
#

true when are we adding downpour to silksong

distant holly
foggy grotto
#

hollow knight is in desperate need of More Slugcats

#

Expedition Mode

#

Challenges

#

Jolly Coop

#

Expedition

#

and Safari Mode

opal totem
#

If there were slugcats in hollow knight they'd be very killable

wooden sun
#

hunterbaffled How would any of that work

foggy grotto
#

more slugcats also simple, just add slugcats

#

more of them

#

challenges are also pretty obvious I think

#

just add a bunch of custom made arenas accessible via the main menu

#

jolly coop is just multiplayer

barren ingot
foggy grotto
#

safari mode is just free cam

#

shrimple as monksilly

foggy grotto
#

I'm glad somebody finally recognizes the value in my 50 foot tall slugcat headcanon 🥹

opal totem
#

What about 100 foot tall hornet

hardy jolt
#

i need my favorite games to have the side content that rain world has

foggy grotto
#

uhhhh spoiler

#

lol

hardy jolt
#

this is still a no rw discussion space btw

#

thread from offtopic gen

wooden sun
#

oh right, sorry!

foggy grotto
distant holly
#

the knight only united vessels

hardy jolt
#

the voidheart doesnt say the void from the vessels it says the void

#

also the statue guy that gives shade cloak calls you lord of shades

#

i doubt bros a vessel

wooden sun
#

Also the godhome ending has the knight uniting much more than vessels, he pulled up the entire ocean

hardy jolt
#

its not that they only unite the vessels of the void its just that the void isnt as connected as a whole like i thought

wooden sun
#

Maybe it's like higher beings where the void heart can only effect things generally around it?

wooden sun
#

Actually, there should still be some influence seeing as the knight could tell where hornet was.

clever furnace
#

even radiance's influence was limited to hallownest

wooden sun
#

even if they couldn't control the void from such a distance

hardy jolt
#

maybe all the void is connected but some of the void just doesnt wanna listen to shade lord and they do their own things 😭

quiet sentinel
#

wruff :3

clever furnace
#

knight just took 3 acts to reach pharloom, the void is pretty hard to map monksilly

quiet sentinel
#

hornet is void

hardy jolt
#

wruff

quiet sentinel
clever furnace
#

still feels hard to point out any criticism i have with silksong at all because some people act like it's flawless and take it way too personally

distant holly
barren ingot
clever furnace
#

you're safe here, if anyone "takes it too personally" just let snaff know

#

not talking about here, just people in general

quiet sentinel
#

yuh

barren ingot
#

ah

clever furnace
#

i despise the hollow knight community tbh

barren ingot
#

I try my best not to accidentally stare too deeply into The Internet

wooden sun
#

The internet stares back even when I'm not staring into it

clever furnace
#

i mostly had good experiences with its art community but everywhere else there's just so many elitist assholes

wooden sun
#

slugwhat It terrifies me

clever furnace
#

this is the rw community though

quiet sentinel
#

yea i remember asking for help with pop a few years ago in hk discord and got flamed for not being able to do it

#

fun experience maeThumbsUp

wooden sun
#

What's pop again?

quiet sentinel
#

path of pain

wooden sun
#

ah

clever furnace
#

rw community has been mostly pretty nice so i feel fine with sharing my thoughts here

clever furnace
#

I would never treat my fellow humans that way though, I don't see the point

Why is that the gimmick for both the max collectable charms between the games

needle strikes stink ><

hardy jolt
#

how much less silk do they cost anyways

quiet sentinel
#

if there was a charm that automatically charges one for you when youre not attacking

opal totem
#

1

distant holly
#

silk lantern thing is probably better generally

quiet sentinel
#

then maybe itd be cooler....

hardy jolt
opal totem
#

That's 25%

#

It is cool

wooden sun
#

Wait, that means max silk hearts can now regen an entire spell

opal totem
wooden sun
#

So theoretically you can have endless parries

quiet sentinel
#

yes but even with weavelight its still kinda slow

hardy jolt

quiet sentinel

id know because i kept it on for a few hours

quiet sentinel
distant holly
clever furnace
#

ah, trye

distant holly
#

or you could hit twice with normal attacks anyway

wooden sun
#

In all honesty the Nail Arts from HK felt a lot better to use then the Needle strikes in Silksong

opal totem
#

Eh not really

#

They feel about the same

wooden sun
#

The slight delay from releasing the attack button to the actual attack kills me though for needle strikes

#

when HK had them be instant

opal totem
#

Swap off reaper

distant holly
#

most of them are bad

wooden sun
#

The others still kinda have that small delay iirc

clever furnace
#

i preferred how you could have multiple nail arts in hk instead of it being crest dependent, it feels like there's a move for every situation

distant holly
#

i think wanderer would make you unable to move lol

opal totem
#

Hunter's strike is pretty responsive

#

Shaman's too iirc

clever furnace
# distant holly when you’re charging attack the enemy would already hit you

think of the many cases where an enemy can't be approached for whatever reason, either they are too far to keep slashing or are doing their own attack
in this window, instead of just waiting for another opportunity, keep the attack button held so that when you do get an opening it comes with a bigger reward
that is what needle strike is most useful for

distant holly
gleaming badger
#

i made her evil and red by recoloring a recolored skin mod

wooden sun
#

I wonder if they'll add direction needle strikes for each of the crests

distant holly
#

shaman has higher range so i guess it’s kinda useful

quiet sentinel
#

I'd like to see more crests added monksilly maybe a new crest with each content drop

opal totem
#

True

distant holly
clever furnace
gleaming badger
#

what if the pale king was like evil and capitalist (and hated saw blades)

opal totem
#

That's just pharloom

broken plover
#

The knight would probably be So bored in pharloom, the lack of excessive Sawblades, AND the lack of spikes would bore them to death

gleaming badger
#

The vessels need enrichment

wooden sun
#

The path of pain wasn't created to block out memories of the idea instilled, no, it just just an obstacle course the Pale King made for the vessels.

#

Becuase he's just that good of a dad

broken plover
#

I do wonder what would occur if a vessel had wandered into pharloom

clever furnace
#

wonder why tc didn't make a single actibe tool that gave silk in any way

wooden sun
opal totem
#

Probably because boring

#

Want extra silk to cast a spell? That's just tools with an extra step
Want extra silk to heal? Reserve bind

clever furnace
#

most active tools are extra boring as is
throw it, it deals damage
use it too much and it needs to be replenished at bench
use it too frequently and you run out of shards
As it stands, the only way to use skills or bind is to needle enemies, so just finding oportunities to strike enemies is magnitudes more valuable than spending your tools
Even just a fraction of silk upon hitting something would be good as it would allow binds and skills from a safe distance, and actually excuse the limited supply

opal totem
#

Idk I have fun with tools

quiet sentinel
#

i cant stop humming the trobbio fight theme

#

its so whimsical

wooden sun
#

I can only presume Trobbio hasn't fallen to the curse yet because GMS's silk keeps getting fried by his constant firework displays before they can reach him.

#

It only makes sense monksilly

glad stratus

wise monolith
#

gave me legit creepypasta vibes ngl

clever furnace
#

tbh what i find stupid is she could just run around and be the same amount of trouble

#

touching her and letting yourself be hit by a pin shouldn't do the same amount of damage

clever furnace
#

just a small nitpick but i wish snared silk went straight into act 3 instead of having a fakeout ending, like it doesn't even end the story in any way and just feels a bit immersion breaking to have this kind of meta thing. personal preference though

opal totem
#

I mean hk ended the story with the exact same ending

hardy jolt
#

thats not what they meant

opal totem
#

That's a part of it

hardy jolt
#

it would be the same if you like
got the kingsoul and then the game told you you got an ending

#

hk doesnt really have a "fakeout" ending like that

opal totem
#

Except I just defeated the final boss

hardy jolt
#

..its not the same thing

opal totem
#

It doesn't have fakeout endings but it does have an ending where the main evil is defeated and instantly replaced with another

clever furnace
#

the closest it goes to being similar is that you can do two kinds of stuff to the "final" boss

||(dreamnail/focus for THK, bind/trap for GMS)||

#

except in silksong, using option two opens up way more content

#

imagine there's a person who never entered black egg, and just went to crystal peak, found the statue in the radiance, and then never met it until godhome

hardy jolt
#

lmao

#

i think thats technically possible 🥹

clever furnace
#

would be pretty awkward though

quiet sentinel
clever furnace
#

they'd have to miss Herrah but fight Nosk, turn away after Uumuu and the WK

clever furnace
#

WK top 1 boss in Hollow Knight btw

#

though i haven't fought NKG yet

pv best boss

glad stratus

hardy jolt

#

the ||nightmare heart arena and title card are so cool|| nkg spoilers

#

also the ost

opal totem
#

Normal Grimm ost is cooler

glad stratus
hardy jolt
opal totem
#

Sorry I forgot I need permission to express my opinion

glad stratus
distant holly
#

since it counts as an ending

opaque shard
distant holly
#

you need to get snared silk ending to access act 3, which has required percents

#

which would mean you have to get steal soul completion achievement

opaque shard
#

Oh im just dumb alr lol

distant holly
#

considering the first goal of act ||3 has the description "discover the fate of pharloom.", i think the idea is that you would get the ending and be unsatisfied that it ended that terribly, and would want to fix this, so act 3 is kinda really "post game", an option to fix the consequences of snared silk ending monksilly||

clever furnace
#

i don't see the game as having ended if there is still a major threat that hornet would want to fix
the other act 2 endings and all the hk endings are situations where you are unable to do anything after that point so the story ends but here hornet is still playable, the story is not over yet

#

imagine you get kidnapped to the slab and credits roll
"wow what a terrible ending, i need to load back in and fix that"

#

shes not a baby but I do find lacenet a lil
weird
I think the point is that she&Hornet are mo so. Familiar? they probably supposed to have sort of an older protector&younger in need of protection dynamic

#

its not morally wrong to ship them ofc ......

distant holly
opaque shard

I mean shes called a child in mind and body

digital robin
#

Not even a baby, a child

mellow sigil
opaque shard
#

Yeah I think they would have a sisters dynamic

distant holly
#

just friends huntersip

digital robin
#

The funny thing is that Lace already had a sister

opaque shard
#

And hornet killed them monkwail

digital robin
#

but Hornet kill her in act 1 / to get a spell hunterkek

distant holly
mellow sigil
#

and in certain circumstances Hornet can literally replace place of Laces mother😭
not literally but I hope yk what I mean

opaque shard
#

Lace: HER PRONOUNS ARE THEY/THEM

digital robin
#

Me when she doesn't use she/her

mellow sigil
#

I like to think of Hornet as a more so guardian figure to Lace

opaque shard
#

They in journel lace calls phantom sister monkwail

mellow sigil
#

instead of her sibling

#

maybe they use she/they ??????

distant holly
#

technically lace is an aunt of hornet because weavers are children of gms slugwoke

mellow sigil
#

I did hear a theory though that Phantom is straight up trans

opaque shard
#

nah lace is they/them-phobic obvsly

distant holly

All weavers are canonicaly homophobic for killing the clover lesbians

"It was important to save the world"
GIRL IT WASNT YOU ONLY NEEDED 3

mellow sigil
#

I still struggle to figure how do you even explain what Hornet did to that poor guy
WHY DID SHE DO THAT

digital robin
#

Hornet is just a Karmelita simp and wanted to keep her alive

opaque shard
#

Ture

#

We all are

mellow sigil
#

I mean Ik that he is now supposedly with his
dead partner hooray!!!! but you dont need to die to move on from your partners death???monkwail

#

Hornet truly is homophobic

digital robin
#

The funny thing is Prince and Karmelita are probably arround the same age and one is completly destroyed while the other is only a bit depressed

opaque shard
#

I mean queen ant live much longer compared to other bugs

digital robin
#

Yea, and she is destroyed physically even when the tribe is still pretty much functional and devoted to her

#

while Prince seems to still be on their prime even after being jailed in a tiny cage for a while

opaque shard
#

15 years old and looking like that 💔

distant holly
#

i guess phantom wanted to fight actually?

digital robin
#

The journal say it pretty clear

opaque shard
#

Yeah im pretty sure they wanted to go out in style

digital robin
#

"This one wanted a warriors death instead of slowly fading away (the silk is starting to wear off and being unravelled)"

mellow sigil
#

I mean I doubt they're haunted so ofc they wanted to fight

#

they attacked Hornet....

distant holly
#

why gms even discarded phantom but tried to save lace after lace’s betrayal monkwail

opaque shard
#

Lace is the golden child

mellow sigil
#

favourite kid

#

Shes even Hornet's favourite kid!!!!!!! wtf

#

thats so not fair

digital robin
#

Phantom is the old son that works on the family buissnes (Making Bilewater the worst place possible)

#

While Lace is the favorite kid that is just send to patrol and look for troublemakers

#

(and have fun)

distant holly
#

why weavers didn’t do anything to lace hunterbaffled

opaque shard
#

"I love all my daughters equally"
-Grand Mother Silk

distant holly
#

lace probably already existed

digital robin
opaque shard
#

I think she was spun after weavers betrayel?

mellow sigil
#

pronouns that Hornet uses for people in her journal are in general a lil confusing

#

or maybe its just me

digital robin
#

In general she thinks everyone is female XD

#

unless stated otherwise

opaque shard
#

Shes into fat bitches

mellow sigil
#

makes sense I suppose

#

everyone in her tribe is female .......

opaque shard
#

"Huge and soft a fantastic combination"
-Hornet the fat bitch lover

mellow sigil
#

also I realised that before I said that Hornet like
almost directly said that she dated someone from her tribe but I realised that its not true

#

thats probably why noone gives a damn

opaque shard
#

I mean all weavers are sisters soooo

mellow sigil
#

BUT she still says that she had a partner ONCE!!!!!! and said that her mateS didnt outlive her!!!!!!!! so she probably means some other kind of mates
for example. TRIBEmates......

mellow sigil
#

WTF DID SHE MEAN BY THAT EBTRY THAN WHAT DID SHE MEAAANNNNN

#

WHO WAS HORNETS PARTNER

fossil sorrel
#

thats only really availavle in the catagory that gets the duplicated rooms through main menu storage

digital robin
#

Finally someone mention anything about the video and not my small joke XD

#

This doesn't use MMS

fossil sorrel
#

ya

digital robin
#

it's a lesser glitch

fossil sorrel
#

wait is it considered a non major glitch

#

bc it doesnt mms

digital robin
#

and a few people say MMS is too annoying to run so they can use it for a major glitches sub-category. And also challenge runs like Low% or LowBoss%

fossil sorrel
#

oh true

#

i was working on like

digital robin
#

The main glitch is room duplication

fossil sorrel
#

first sinner in act 1 using mms but i couldnt get it to work

digital robin
#

with a minor glitch in the form of getting control while on menus

#

that only require pogo-storage which will most likely be a minor glitch

fossil sorrel
#

then i spent a while trying to get it using beast crest into memorium,enemy pogo into putrid ducts, and then get the apostate key (?)

#

but i gave up before i could get to that point of progression on a new save file and then i saw a video of it on my YouTube reccomended

fossil sorrel
digital robin
#

It can make a mini animation glitch that is funny

#

Hornet just Aurafarming there

digital robin
#

In some languages I think it was female

#

and devs aparently confirmed it

mellow sigil
#

how did they approached the problem I wonder of some characters using "they" but that pronoun not being very translatable to some other languages

distant holly
#

they didn’t

#

smh

mellow sigil
#

in vessels case I suppose you could refer to the vessel by the pronoun of the word "vessel" (in my native language specifically)

#

but in other cases like. You cant just assign them a gender can you...

#

ohhh they probably dont curate translators work all that much right

#

its not like they canmonkwail

distant holly
#

lowkey annoys me that apparently watcher devs made it not gender neutral (in one language) for a character in an update, despite it being worded like that in the original release (well, i was told slugtroll)💔

it’s no rw spoilers zone, however saintpensive

mellow sigil
#

was it in russian .....

distant holly
#

maybe?

mellow sigil
#

ah

#

it annoys me too in general but
I suppose its a problem I have with my native language specifically because the singular they pronoun is absolutely usable in it (and people already use it in another form)it's just very unconventional

#

and too queer I guess

distant holly
#

you can also just word it differently smh

mellow sigil
#

oh yeahmonkwail monkwail monkwail

distant holly
#

it’s entirely possible to completely avoid using pronouns or gendered forms of words

mellow sigil
#

its a lil more complicated in my language because we have gendered endings of words

#

like for example
if I say something about you
"you went" the word "went" will have a gendered ending

distant holly
#

passive voice though

mellow sigil
#

its a lil hard to explain. Maybe you have something similar in your language though Im not sure

#

how do you use passive voice in this specific example:0
the road was walked by you???

#

hahah

distant holly
#

kinda? depends on a way the language words it

mellow sigil
#

that's actually translatable to my language... but sounds a lil silly

#

and changes the meaning and implications a lil bit

distant holly
#

could be reworded completely but with the generally same meaning monksilly.

#

it would be more effortful

mellow sigil
#

was the character you're talking about from 1.5 btw???

distant holly
#

actually no monksilly

#

were there translation updates for 1.5 already? hunterbaffled

mellow sigil
#

oh I dunnorivflabbergasted didn't thought about it

#

I never play in my native language but now Im curious how did they handle it.....

#

and in Silksong as well

distant holly
#

native language option looking at you like the green mask

mellow sigil
#

I wish more queer allies or queer people in general translated things from english to my native language
the ignorance of pronouns and neutral language in general is the thing that prevents me from interacting with it the most

opal totem
#

Switch to native localization and don't regret it challenge (impossible)

distant holly
#

deltarune doesn’t have translation except japanese for that reason monksilly

opal totem
#

Toby is a weeb reason

mellow sigil
#

doesn't Toby knows Japanese though:0 its probably only translated to it because he can curate the translation process

distant holly
#

yes

#

that’s what i mean

mellow sigil
#

ah alright

#

we need to force him to learn every other language as well

distant holly
#

toby knows english and japanese and so there won’t be errors in translation

mellow sigil
#

VIOLENTLY
