Hornets probably older than her
true
Ture
why does it have to be a lesbian ship though
Lesbian geckos
nobody ever suggests shipping hornet with a male 
There's no males that fit
As someone with a strong gaydar hornet gives lesbian/bi vibes
What is that? A tail?
yea
what is shakra even
Possible stinger
Bug
I've heard people say she looks like a wasp
She does fit wasp
Ig she also says she has a tribe so a wasp tribe?
Maybe
I wonder if the crows are supposed to be adjacent to dirt daubers (mostly because of their nests)
I dont think theyre based on any real bug ngl
they just took a crow and made it a bug
Eugh I saw this and remembered a thing I saw where someone found one of these in their Wii and it had a bunch of paralyzed brown recluses in it
They have feathers fly like birds and have abdomens
I don't think it's necessarily a binary of Based On A Bug or Entirely Separate
I think that specific aspect could be inspired but other aspects arent
Radiance also had feather particles when she teleports but shes a moth so idk
I dont think we should really compare real life bugs biology to hk bugs lol
don't you know that craws are real irl? I saw one in my garden yesterday 
Damn god loved skong so much he made it real
What would Shakra think of deepnest/hornets home?
Hornet: Shakra I wanna show you where I live.
Shakra: ... You should move.
Would probably see it as a disgusting place
she's been in bilewater, surely it's not a negative opinion 
Along with having SHIT combatants
Bilewater was disgusting, not disturbing
Shakra: this was your home?
Hornet: yes...and it was beautiful
Deepnest before the infection probably looked diffrent idk how different tho
Bilewater > deepnest any day
Based on what we know about deepnest, probably not much
Probably not
PK literally made a deal with the mantis lords to NOT LET ANYTHING LEAVE DEEPNEST
Just weaver banners
Do y'all think that one weaver hiding in the Weavenest is the only one is hallownest?
Idk maybe there were more cocoon homes like the ones in distant village that like got ruined or smthing
The only weaver in full part? Probably, others likely fled, were infected, or died
But I feel like im getting into headcanon territory lol
Headcanon: once the infection cleared and hallownest was at least somewhat repaired (enough to be livable), a bunch of weavers returned to hallownest, gave the dead weavers proper burials or smth, and reintegrated themselves into deepnest
Now I imagine hornet returning to hallownest, only to find a bunch of weavers are here now, and she's just like "WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU COME FROM!?"
I'd imagine the weavers would also be like: "YOU KILLED GMS?!"
Since they expected someone to replace or at least snare GMS
"you did WHAT!? And you kidnapped her child!? How the fuck!?"
"You did WHAT to the original Higher Beings of Pharloom?"
"i beat the fuck out of her, sent her to the void, and then beat the fuck out of her child in front of her.*
Honestly Hornet would probably just give them a very mean death stare if she saw the Weavers again.
Especially the ones that raised her in Hallownest
How would Shakra react to the weavers?
poshanka
It would probably depend on how much she's heard or seen of them in Pharloom
Super excited to fight one
Ranging between "Those strange beings from the statues" to "The children of the haunting"
Ripped it from the wiki
Yeah I just found that
Ah i forgot about the Widow dialog
Would she win tho?
She does technically get to fight a weaver in half-part 
In fact, I wouldn’t be suprised if part of her having a friendly duel against hornet was to experience dueling a weaver
Is it possible for weavers to one day find out how to have children that are weaver in full part?
Hard no
Did I use the "in __ part" thing right?
They're all referred to as sisters, so likely not
Yeah all known weavers in full part are female
Idea: they found out about transgender and now there's male weavers
They could pull an EVA but instead of a GMS replacement it's a brother weaver
The closest to weaver in full part is probably eva and uhhhh
Do we ever see what Eva MIGHT look like inside that shell thing? Since iirc the shell is there to keep her alive and not her actual body
There's the vague shadow in the glass of the iron shell
And also the symbol for Sylphsong might be a representation of her actual form
Evil and intimidating featherlight
Is that hair or does she just have tendrils for arms?
It might be silk like GMS's hair
That makes way too much sense
Also the head does kinda match the sylph song symbol
is it just me or is her head kinda shaped like the godseekers
I dont see this so called bell eater snacking on any bells
False advertising!!!!!!
In theory, would it be possible for weavers to make Eva strong enough to leave the shell she's trapped in?
i thought she was trapped there, becasue she was a failure, the intention was that if it was a success she could just walk but dunno
eva the GOAT for upgrading hunter ❤️
It's somewhat like that,
She failed because she was too frail, and would die outside of the iron shell.
Who was worse? GMS or the weavers?
i will go with weavers, gms arguably doesn t seem that bad
She was a dick but at least she didn't take advantage of thousands of bugs
gms was very flawed
weavers were outright evil
higher beings in hk really just have a knack for not being good
weavers cared not for the bugs that would be affected by their great escape plan
Except for PK
He was decent
I think there's some interesting lore with weavers/conductors' responsibility to be discerned from the Pious Isamor stuff
and how it talks about the old citadel as a relatively humble place
could imply that the citadel the weavers controlled wasnt quite so evil as the current underworks system
i say as a king he was pretty good, he just had unusualy ways of dealing with a moth
Endless sawblades
Yeah he honestly wasn't the brightest
let him have hes hobbys, he needed some
(and that the super fancy citadel with the choral chambers and cogwork core and underworks and whatnot was done moreso by the conductors? not totally sure.)
I have seen that one lore video calling out the conductors being the actual true villains of skong
Do you think PK ever tried to reason with rad
tbf it was clever just poor execution i think, looking that the void tends to eat whatever it can, trying to use it to defeat a god was a good idea, just not done fully correclty
it is said many times that disputes between pale beings have never been settled peacefully
I just imagine
PK: hey I get you're mad but like I can give back your tribe and—
Rad: fuckyoufuckyoufuckyoufckyoufu
It's just the radiance scream on repeat while PK tries to get some words in
What would happen if he did strike a deal with rad tho?
uhhhh
berlin wall between hallownest and radiance's kingdoms
also didn t radiances tribe just straight up abandon her due too pk being quite good?
I think that's the implication
Because PK doesn't seem like the guy to barge into a random tribe and go
"You are all my citizens now, worship me exclusively"
Instead he made deals with the Mantis Tribes and greenpath and such
I remember someone saying the pier on the lake of unn was made by hallownest
Which could imply that PK didn't care and sometimes even helped others worship other gods
even with hera who entrusted her tribe to him kind of
she certainly wasn t there to take care of it anymore
Pk:as we all(SCREEECH+BOSSMUSIC) know my dear citizens(SCREEECH+BOSSMUSIC)there has(SCREEECH+BOSSMUSIC) been a terrible infection going(SCREEECH+BOSSMUSIC)on around the kingdom (SCREEECH+BOSSMUSIC)
Idea:
PK x rad
Danger relationship
Since gms is ||dead post act 3|| doesn't that technically mean ||silk in general will become a thing of the past?|| or do you think it lives on through lace?
hornet has the silk hearts, ye? not crazy to imagine that things like that could still exist in multiple cases
like... bell beast....??
I guess bell beast had one because it was stuck in the magically regenerating silk
and that was being sustained by a silk heart
Hornet being the vessel of silk 
ok that makes perfect sense actually
confusion dispelled
Gms really tried to possess it but failed miserably because bell beast is pure of heart
impenetrable armor
But yeah.. it'd be really interesting to get a post act 3 to conclude hornets story
Screw it im walking by foot I hate bell eater
She's wrapped up with her past, but I really want to see how she paves her future
LOL
The normal bad ending is really interesting because it feels like hornet embracing the corrupted dream of the weavers, to seek freedom from their imprisonment by becoming the one who imprisons
I mean there is the implication with "The First Light" that some resources can be limited.
Hornet can only barely make silk with all the silk hearts, and the other weavers were running out, so silk may actually fade away.
silk is just another form of soul anyhow, so it isnt like soul would be gone
All of those silk flies seemed to have persisted for eternity so, in a way they are a literal light of hope for the weavers
What's left of them
the ability to make silk from soul could fade,
Hornet finally turning 10000:
I guess PK may have saved the last hope for silk then
By making the last weaver impervious to aging
That's probably mostly why herrah wanted a daughter, as the future of silk not paved by the weavers, but hopefully a brighter one
One free of the fear of their mother waking and taking claim of their lives
ironic considering herrah also went to sleep forever
Man if only they used Dreamer magic to permanently put GMS to sleep 
infection 2 lol
Are they stoopid? /silly
Isn't that already the haunting? 
ok then
haunting but different 
To be fair, it doesn't seem like pharloom ever had any presence of magic other than silk itself, in fact they basically eradicated all other forms of magic in order to upkeep the need of the eternal song that keeps gms asleep
So... they kinda fucked over themselves
I mean Wishes are implied to be a very powerful magic
All of the original kingdoms of Pharloom are said to be upheld by wishes
really?
Yeah, the wish of the weavers freedom definitely outweighed everything else, but that would be interesting still
In a way all the kingdoms do still exist through song
Found it
what happens to pharloom politically speaking post act 3
any group needs someone or some group to lead, if so will they elect pavo as president? 
Sherma for king 
Fa ri me do fo so let
sherma is certainly set up to be in a leadership position by act 3
but presidents are overrated
Sherma may actually have a will strong enough to create a Powerful Wish
in a more serious tone, hornet, despite clearly voicing her intention to leave after things are settled, would be a serious candidate to lead the future of pharloom as literally everyone loves her for doing all those wishes 
Is there even really a hollownest to return to anyways...
I think hornet would moreso be the one to go around and help rebuild directly rather than managing stuff from above
Well besides to see THK 
(and that would be like, Gameplay)
good point kalum
How would THK be holding out by now?
Seeing as they're probably free from the black egg
I need an image of Shakra holding an angry hornet by the collar of her cloak it would be so funny
this is all assuming embrace the void as being the canon ending
in dream no more, the hollow knight goes back to the void like all other vessels
I imagine them either waiting in the egg for PK to return and congratulate them, or resting in dirtmouth
There is a single shot of the shade lord in the SOTV ending, so I’d hope embrace the void is canon.
Lost GMS??
Basically the regular gms fight but she uses moves that specifically make you say "Wtf thats bullshit" out loud
any radiance type moves
The spike floor attack except they stay spiked permanently and you cant knock them down
99 fucking scissor blades
That cool ass 3 mask attack except it does 5 now and she spams it
spam cross stitch and pray 
@broken plover no
Joyous
What do y'all think PKs biggest crime would be (before rad and the vessel stuff)
Yes but she's not a fight she's just incredibly confused (also she would have dialogue now)
What would GMS say if she was around post SOTV?
He's innocent swear /j
Hmmmm
Honestly im not sure of his history much before the storm hit
There are no laws against ginormous cavern destroying wyrms 
In all honesty, probably mass property damage
I would be surprised if no one's home was destroyed in the havok the cast-off shell left
primal aspid summons
Fighting LL with beast crest
beast crest rocks, it’s underrated imo
the only reasons it’s hated is cause of the down pogo, but if you’re gonna do parkour just don’t use beast crest ig
lack of blue tool slots is another big criticism of mine but at least you get one instead of none
eternal punishment
The humble air hockey puck
Is this peak?
Love how even though gms spun a giant cocoon to protect her child, and yet lace got voided anyways
@broken plover lace would be outright gone if she didn't 

she’d be truly lost 💔
Lostlostlost lace
want advice or nah
Whaddya mean you lost lace, Go find them
LOST lace? she’s literally right there (sorry guys i just really wanna show off my fanart)
Yeah dude wtf I can NOT beat bell eater holy shit
Im not gonna see those bell beastlings 🥹 💔
i didn’t want to beat bell eater so for a while i just walked everywhere (i don’t regret it)
um i don’t have a lot of tips for bell eater unfortunately
voltvessels spear
I've been using the bolas 🥹
All it took was some electric balls on a spear holy shit 
steel soul time because i dont wanna do rwsc rn
and i still havent done 100% steel soul sniffles
Sorry i stole it
Playing steel soul is worth it just to fight Widow
What a cool boss fight
what a rush
Love how one of hornets taunts is her going "Heh! Garama!"
fun skip to pull off :3
next imma get sharp dart and the phial
damn they nerfed this enemy
it only does one mask now 
it always only did one mask 😌
twice

I've seen some Silksong videos where the mask bar have these spikes of sorts on them, what tool is that?
Barbed bracelet
Where do you get it?
its in sinners road
If i remember correctly...
yknow the way to the chef boss?
instead of going up go down
Does mr chef get voided in act 3 I've procrastinated on him a bit 
I think so

love this skip
no need to return to wormways in act 2 
yep
i had to leave for work but once im back in gonna finish up the phial quest, i even got the memory locket so i should be set for the rest of act 2 without wormways :3
i will most likely be taking phantom route then i go to act 2 eventually
i dont trust myself to handle last judge with steel soul nerves and only having beaten it like twice
phantom is much easier
R.I.P. cool tech to skips lots of things
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1cfQlA1B1M
the tragic day is here: voltpogos are no more, along with their cousin conchpogos and distant relative projectilepogos.
too are the days of pause storage no more (as far as i am aware lmao maybe im just bad)
This was just a quick video about the recent Silksong Patch (1.0.29242). I'm still working on my next video, 100%ing Silksong without Dri...
Atleast we have Beast-skips (for now)
🥀 1 less Groal 🧀 strat
We only need one cheese:
the bile water
Just the bile water is enough
That thing was patched already 
oh good maybe I wont lose a steel soul run to wormways then

Alright chat, give me some hollow knight characters to put through Google translate a bunch of times
its gleak
despite having done the fight so much i still get adrenaline spikes when i hover around 2 masks especially in phase 2
The music too works so well
shes so scary if you miscount a bell attack and fail a heal window
shes killed over 70% of my steel soul runs

Really?
i always first try it, it's usually either Sister Splinter or the Moorwing who fucks me up
(i Skip the moorwing now, not worth it)
she psychs me out so bad because shes kinda like the "turning point" of the run for me
since post needolin i have access to a lot of things that make the run a whole lot safer
so it feels nice that im past her again
Do you fight her with 6 masks
NUHHHH
i tend to not do any quests or masks or stuff until post needolin so i dont get too attached to the save until im sure its going well </3
Trust it's so easy, do the quest for the pilgrim robes in bonebottom to get rosaries, buy the mask shard 1
Then get the one before the Gate to wormways, you can get to it without any abilities by just pogo jumping 2
Get the one in far fields once you get the cloak 3
And finally the 4th one in shellwood
You can do it as you play without getting too involved with quests
fun fact about that shellwood one
And you'll have 6 masks! which helps cause she mostly does 1
i lost a steel soul run trying to get that one on the way back LMFAO
i am genuine ass sometimes 😭
She wouldn't care about her mom that much, maybe about her sister
The stupid flower creatures are dumb 
hopefully this run goes well now that ill have phial
i also plan to grab some more stuffs now so hopefully its safe...
IF the run somehow dies again
i will try the 6 mask pre-widow strat
Do you use plasmids?
....what Bioshock
Do you use Plasmium*?
yea, im gonna try a run with it and see how it goes
Ohhh i kinda wanna do one with it
my save is currently in wormways with all 3 lifeblood things collected
just gotta return it now but i need to sleep...
so itll have to be tomorrow
i was already getting the melodies when the unravelled killed me
I wanna voice act this but I can't do a hornet impression for the life of me 
Should've gotten Plasmium
i feel like that + the shell pouch is gonna be kinda game changing early game cause its straight up 4 masks for stuff without any tool upgrades
so thats why im so locked in on going for it

I go for the mask the skarr fella gives you
Do it I dare thee
unravelled is bad until you just bs their bs and facetank their projectiles and just keep hitting and healing when they dive
Alright I will >:3
But the skarr gauntlet before his store has killed me twice before
I only go there when i'm strong enough
wait is that the brute and the spear
If only i had gotten double jump i could have moved more freely around the arena AHHHHH
i forgot they had a fight
no, for the shopkeeper skaar
Also you should probably sleep
Gotta get some rest
Before you can reach the skaar that sells you stuff theres a mini arena
With skaars yeh like the flying ones
Skarr or skaars hold on
Skarrs
There we go

Idea: a silksong mod that makes it possible to beat silksong while following the known rules of a pilgrim (like not having a weapon) but, obviously, you lack a weapon. And if you break the rules, last judge/phantom will attack you before the citadel and since you lack a weapon you can't win the fight so you die
You're also locked into steal soul
Steal soul
there's a SUBREDDIT for this?
https://www.reddit.com/r/fucksavagebeastfly/
Silksong, but if i break the rules of a pilgrim a last judge spawns
also the rules just say no weapons
so you can still kick
and use clawline
cuz technically the enemies just walked in fromt of your grappling hook
a grappling hook isn't a weapon on its own
deliberately aiming it at somebody though, that'ss using it as a weapon
just like those pilgrim hikers have a climbing stick which they swing at hornet as a blade
hornet's needle is a very oversized sewing tool with blade edges
i got the reaction notification i did not type that
Your discord is possessed!
haunted!
(In all honesty make sure you aren’t hacked or anything)
no im not lol
might be a message i got while cleaning the keyboard and didnt notice my discord was focused
pretty sure anyone can make a subreddit for anything with little to no limitations
lmao
I should've taken care of savage beastfly in the far fields when I had the chance...
lets make r/rainworlddiscord which is literally just this server but redditified
I am NOT fighting black threaded savage beastfly
Chat I got tht nuke build against LL
Is loyal mergwin gatekeeping the last pale oil or are there other sources
Shining needle
then theres more pale oils then that one
do you wish to know how many oils you have left?
I BEAT LL WITH BEAST CREST
wow what a scammer skynx I got this run
they give 50, 100, 150, repeat
with only 8 silkseaters, it means that the last batch is the smallest it could be
if 150 was even the second reward, that's 50 rosaries more total from then
on the fourth silkeater I've given them, they gave me 46, literally the smallest possible reward
Why was the void pissed at hornet before she beat LL?
Did it just not realize hornet was here and just hurt her while lashing out at GMS and her cocoon?
wow what a convenient set of spots 
Is that the steel soul quest?
yea
resting sites are selected at random from a set of predetermined spots
the other 3 spots are in far fields, high halls and pale lake
I found that beastling call works as a semi-useful panic button
too bad that's unlocked after most of the scary bosses
and gets interrupted when you get hit
and doesn't work on LL
Skong
If you want a easy to use mod manager use thunderstore
Also there is a multiplayer mod like hkmp called ssmp
good rasher time 
is anyone else having issues with menu styles and steel soul not saving?
I got to act 2 and unlocked the style but it was gone when I reopened the game
I also need to input the code in the extras menu to unlock steel soul again every session
I've read reddit posts about it and it primarily happens when playing the xbox edition of the game in a pc via microsoft store or game pass
but my copy is a steam one so idk what's going on
ugh I am NOT beating the game in steel soul again for the menu style if I make it to the end this time
Weird, I haven't encountered that issue
But speaking of steel soul, I am about to continue my run :3
Anyone else nose exhale when a enemy jumps into the spikes or triggers a trap
Went back to my old hk savefile
Chat where's that "lace age defense" image I think I saw it here
Forgot I had the minigun primal aspid mod active 
I'll just need to be a bit stingy with it since no infinite refills for now..
but i get 4 uses just like that without tool upgrades, so should make bossing and emergency situations a lot safer :3

gotta take all precautions in this mode
true! stay safe
Is there any indication of steel soul mode in the HUD other than the grey empty spool and grey empty mask slots?
just that
damn
trying to play by memory as well
because i really want the special quill on this save too
that looks so weird to be so empty omg

good luck with it Mae!
I know I can barely get to the big hole from bellhart without the map
ty!! 
act 3 quill?
maybe, but if i find it a genuine struggle i will probably go for the act 2 one
sweeet
I thought it was the dying animation and then I saw the masks and realized you got a mask
i had no idea they were act 1
i guess i never did explore marrows much after i did the flintgem quest on my original playthrough
ooh tool pouch righttt
5 phial uses now 
immortality but for girls 
yea this was terrifying without shakra
if it wasnt for the phial 
wait i just realized this leads to savage beastfly
should be fine..
also scary
it takes 3 sharp darts to kill the spear skaar theyre sooo tanky
rolling in dough though :3
yea i was worried for nothing
pattern recognition my beloved
am i the only one that finds judge attack patterns really weird
sometimes they'll take long pauses and stuff before an attack, or chain it or dont, or sometimes wont attack at all and reposition or attack without warning

its a really hard read knowing what they do next so i have to predict like 4 different outcomes each time i wanna go in for an attack
doomed yaoi
ngl sharp dart is kind of amazing
i never used it much originally cause i stuck with thread storm a lot but i love it so much now
This one was pretty easy to read
But sometimes they just dash into you without warning
ive noticed that with wanderers you can chain pogos without them being to retaliate

oh i didnt notice but they lose the title "the lucky"
anyways thats my yellows for the rest of the run probably
where is belt
30% more iframes
Simply don't get hit
wait why not shell satchel???
oh i didnt know it gave iframes but i still wouldnt use it
shell satchel will go on the vesticrest
love the added aggressiveness of weighted belt
no more reduced dps because of knockback 
besides, needle buff tools are rare so there's not much choice lol
for a game about a fragile but agile protagonist, there's little choice in tools to increase hornet's mobility
and better offense tools are scarce compared to "on hit" or "when binding" tools
As the saying goes, "The best defense is a good offense."
right now my only alternatives are weavelight or pollip pouch
and weavelight + spool extender aren't exactly "offense" tools lol, they make silk management easier
I am not counting on hit or on bind offense tools like memory crystal, the better play is to not need to heal in the first place
I HAVE ALL 3 NAIL ARTS AAAAA
unfortunately you will forget about all 3 promptly and never use them again
actually thats a lie, i did use the nail slash in colloseum
visit sly for a surprise
smartest silksong player /j
"we are the silksong players, feed us team cherry!"
"we are the silklings! Feed us song!"
Beta Patch:
- Added Advanced Settings to Controller menu. Specific options per OS.
- Fixed Gloomsacs not damaging the player on impact, when on one mask.
- Fixed Lace (Cradle) slash attack sometimes not causing damage after being stunned.
- Fixed Beast's Needle Strike sometimes gaining unintended height when performed in the air.
- Fixed additional instance of Second Sentinel being able to push Hornet out of bounds in rare instances.
RIP, they are about to fix Beast-skips (after fixing the other super cool movement tech)
Only heal-airstall remains (I think)
damn when did team cherry become so allergic to skips
They even fixed a HK glitch that was present in Silksong
To be fair this "Ralsei fella" has been posting nonstop softlocks (which can only be fixed by using backups) using all this glitches
Hey everyone! Welcome to the channel of a guy who really likes video games and loves talking about them too much.
For any business inquiries, you can email me at bkilroy1@outlook.com
Kill Ralsei
nah they're cool


imo it exceeds belief that XYZ random person would find half of those skips if they werent actively looking for them
and at that point, actions have consequences imo
either way, can you not just load an older save?
this is probably the worst thing to ever happen to me i love beast boosts
didnt they kill voltvessel pogos too
they did
rip early memorium/putrified and snare setter
Dude
The first game has so many skips caused by weird movement quirks
Why are they removing them in this one????
last patch killed them yea
they removed a lot from hk
"Hello vessels! Today we are returning to Hollow Knight with a few patches aimed towards smoothing the experience of new players! Among the fixes included:
- Fixed the knight being able to pogo off of their own spells.
- The shade now relocates if the knight gets higher than it."
/satire
fast fall, that one float bug i dont remember the triggers of, explosion pogo (the removal didnt work)
- Acid pools meant to be crossed with Isma's tear no longer have clingable walls
The float bug is understandable yea
But like
The current patches are like if they removed fireballs skips
voltvessel skips could have stayed but beast boosts are not hard to trigger unintentionally
No major glitches category? how about NO glitches

I wonder if the giant muckroaches were spawned in to stop the npcs from doing the fight end thing where they leave offscreen
oh I see I was just looking at the tiny discord thumbnail version
Tbh savage beastfly is annoying but not hard
it just has unintuitive movement and high contact damage
thats the kind of boss i hate like . stOP spawning ads PLEASE
still haven’t beaten the savage beastfly in act three and now i kind of have to if i want that 10th mask
(shame on me for putting it off but whatever)
good luck, they have double health and void attacks in act 3 
cornered them in this tunnel, they could not launch a single attack because of staggers and phase change 
beat lost sinner
i dont care im keeping sharp dart!!
la bomba
i almost just lost the run to a big mite oh my god
i dashed into it with 2 health and no clue where my mask went but thankfully i killed it right after coming out of my dash
Oh I just figured it out but in case anyone was still speculating it's tied to total amount of slots, which in turn does tie to memory lockets used
(the initial 7 slots from hunter dont count)
yea
good rule of thumb, you need exactly 1 more slot for another eva upgrade if all your crests are fully unlocked

I beat LL with beast
apparently not true for yellow vesticrest but wtv
wanderer + reaper + beast fully unlocked are 7 + 7 + 5 = 19 slots
which means you have to get architect for blue vesticrest
aw man
- architect is + 7 = 26 slots, so you must get witch for hunter 2
sylphsong needs all* memory lockets in act 2, or 3 less and shaman
*may be obtained a bit earlier if memory lockets aren't used on hunter
Anything for the flea
awoooo :3
awoooo :3
act 2 time i think
gonna clear sinners road and then go through mist
even with 6 phial uses i still dont trust myself to not die on last judge
what about this one
He is useful
You can use him like a soccerball, very good stress relief

binder buff i love you
average sinners road experience
also dont they kind of look like phantom
that got a bit sketch until i got back in the groove
phantom down!!
yea thats why i went for it
I love how they give you cross stitch when defeating her
,
oh for sure
It’s not just binding her to get it you just get to use it as the final hit against her
i always go through Phantom
i know for sure that Last Judge would weep the floor with me
well technically, its a bind with extra steps
cause she "unravels" and you bind to that unravelled silk, same way you bound silkhearts and stuff
Fair, but it’s a cool bind with extra steps
i want to learn flstudio so i can make a cringe phonk edit of bilewater music and make a bilewater edit
Only from a recent patch
I say recent but maybe it's like 2 weeks ago or something I don't remember
Yea, binder got a buff that allows the first heal to clear maggots, its really neat
depression
w hunter crest user 
pretty well, i had a close call back in graymoor surprisingly to the big mites after i binded reaper crest and failed to use it well but otherwise its smooth rn :3 i think im gonna try speedrun getting clawline and wings then stock up on health and things before i progress story
hh arena
but this time ill be prepared with phial and more upgrades
of course its hh 
more progress lost to it 
i like how the 5 bell thing for the judge door is still there 
silly arena 
hmmmmm'
i could just go for purple... but red matches my cloak

ngl i was getting my ass kicked and my mask broke LOL
:3
wonder if any underworker ever managed to escape the underworks
and what would their fate be if discovered by the citadel (or if they outright escape into the citadel)
your inventory in painful in every level 
why so much unspent rosaries and unbroken rosary strings
why unsold mossberry
why partially completed rite of the pollip
why partially completed silver bells
why so many new item red dots 
peak ability gotten :3

i dont check the inventory now since i kinda know whats there so i guess it builds up

i just learnt the best way to deal with them is clawline im a genius
I think with hunter focus you an one shot them
or you may need barbed buff too
needle strike also takes them out well
i think now i am gonna do the unravelled and then get wings
wait actually how do i get to slab without being captured
key of apostate
where that
putrified ducts
nearby huntress' hut
key of apostate is needed for most of the slab's goddies as well
I think the only stuff you can get without it are a few frayed rosary strings 
☹️
oh, and a flea
Corals towers gonna be the death of me.
"Oh you died? Too bad! Back to square one with you!"
gotta let it happen 
sharp dart my beloved i did that hitless
i was gonna do unravelled before wings for the extra silk regen for mt. fay but i think now that i know the pathing i should be able to handle it with 1 silkheart just fine
not too worried abt the cold dmg cause of multibinder and phial
should be smooth sailing hopefully :3
why do you exist
god i love mt fay music
wings!! the plan now is to just stock up on as many mask shards as are available to me, which im pretty sure is all of act 2 now
this time hh arena wont take me down
ill be beefed up and ready
i saw a lore theory today that they speculated theyre a silkmoth, but the pigeon rumble and shape really doesnt convince me to that conclusion
not to mention the cloak description outright states they are feathers
if you hold it it keeps the downward motion too which looks awesome
awoooooo :3

.<
i second tried hh arena i was expecting that to take far longer
that was scary what the hell
i got stunlocked into the kill animation and almost got triple hit into the lava
maybe i do need more health
almost lost the run to the goddamn brothers
oh yea tulin check it out
red quill on da steel soul :3
🎉
i was gonna go for purple but red looks nice with everything else
5k rosaries is crazy
i keep ending up poor and i think ive lost rosaries maybe once or twice
LMAO i have nothing to really spend them on since im just kinda running around ignoring everything and just collecting upgrades so theyve been piling up

i dont wanna get too attached to this save but at this point its too late for that
i have all act 2 abilities ect
im in a really good position
i rushed mask shards and other shit so i like . fucking got wings and had 8 masks before fighting cogwork dancers
or was it 7 it mightve been 7
either way it was a lot
wild
ive been on 6 ever since forever
fractured mask saving my life multiple times
and phial
i should get that charm but also i like injector band and the multibinder
yea thats gonna be my setup once i get my blue vesticrest
the only change im gonna do real quick of magma bell for savage beastfly 2 and the escape sequence of the mask shard in far fields
savage beastfly 2 is annoying i put that one off until getting nail 2
and then i was just goated with it
also i had wings that helped a lot lmao
where is this guy
sinners road
in the room with the fucking. guys that want roach guts. on the left side
yea im not touching it with a 10 ft pole until i get needle 3, and all the masks i can
thats so fair
i have wings and clawline which should be a lot better than my first playthrough
my dumbass did it with barbed bracelet the first time 😭
wanderer crest + that
sobbing
man what
"lower graymoor"
looks at map
its where he was last seen
the trail is like fucking stupid i think but i looked up that location
so
i dont even remember them
oh yea
okay gonna do this and courier rashers as well, hopefully its not too bad now that ive done it once before
is curvesickle act 3?
wiki says it is
lame
is this charm setup good?
i would add quick slash if you had the notches but otherwise it looks fine
longnail + mark of pride is really funny but also realistically overkill as fuck
Hey the setup let me beat hiveknight pretty easily
Shouldve just spell spammed smh
i facetanked a bunch of lategame bosses with fragile strength + quick slash + mark of pride + longnail
its kindof broken with nail 4
I have coiled nail rn
dead rat

that rat sure is dead
The mukroaches got him
its kinda creepy cause that creature is mimicking the last words styx said


yea that was a walk in the park i was a bit skeptical but :3 pattern recognition wins again
Wait +104?
Lugoli gives mone now??
Or wait is it the tool
am dumb
mod
converts every 5 hp an enemy has into a rosary
Cheater smh
so it makes every enemy drop rosaries depending on how strong they are
ok lol
me when i play my copy of the game how i want to
Gonna report you to team cherry so theyll nuke yoy house
wait until you hear i have always magnet, always compass
AND the magnet pulls shards
youre gonna shit yourself
💩
(I say this as I play rw with 50+ mods)
wait i havent defeated last judge i cant do the rasher quest yet oops
uhhhhhh i feel comfortable enough with my nail upgrade i think
Just go through sinners road nothing bad can happen trust
now i feel safe
i feel more comfy with last judge route for it cause it takes me like 3 tries to get through mist im not very good at it 😭
okay well i played like a little bitch but we stay winning
i only went in on her slam and charge attacks, otherwise i stayed the hell away 😭

yayy i feel a lot healthier :3
I do that all the time
Specifically in far fields
no
Bruh
if only jobs fell off the sky like in the industrial rev
Ong
Rob people than
the times where companies actually needed workers

Sounds like too much work
Lazy bum
And most people are broke now a days
Rob the rich then smh
We dont have rich
💔
can't be calling us that when low wage jobs are asking for multiple year experience and degrees 💔
they know they can get away with that
Me when the job requries you to have 30 years of experience as a 15 yo
And must speak 8 languages fluently
Well anyways my steel souls start with me speedrunning the melodies
I only unlock grand and bellhart
Sometimes blasted
Then i go back and get everything
Act two is kind of a checklist ngl
I mean so was the og hk ig
Get upgrades > get dreamnail > get the three dreamers etc
Tru
Hk feels so slow compared to silksong
Ledgegrabing is so op
Ong
Anyways imma a disappear now
Poof*
y'all think shakra could defeat gms on her own
In terms of lore, no.
It would basically be like if a human decided to challenge a hippo to a fight with only a sharpened stick
Silksong is no longer Evil Wizard approved
hornet's arsenal is rather basic, it's just her blade, tools, traps and silk
shakra is shown to be very skilled
You are nolonger fish approved
Pale being skilled?
My point is, by all means, shakra is a well trained, but normal, bug.
Grand mother silk is a god. Even if she was felled Shakra does not have access to binding or the needolin, GMS would likely be able to recover
why do I have to lose you so often hunter 2... 💔
is 75% extra needle damage not enough to compensate for my massive skill issue?
chat do you think I'm prepared enough for s.beastfly 2 
No
you are never too prepared in barbed steel soul...
ok I didn't lose to a vicious caranid this time in the lava escape mask shard
I did touch a beastfly but still had enough silk to silkspear the tarmites
so what do y'all think killed this pinstress
I am no forensic expert, but I notice a bunch of stilkin trapper spikes scattered around
but the hut's overall damage seems far greater than what they could accomplish alone
so maybe groal showed up too?
The water thats bile got her 
From all we know she couldve chocked on a pickled mugmaggot
how do you explain the mass damage to her home though
groal definitely showed up
she was outcast both from citadel and bilewater since citadel hunts her and groal and his tribe despise the citadel and associate her with it
so its highly likely the groal tribe overwhelmed with sheer numbers
maybe the damage just shows the extent of the struggle
a mass stilkin attack seems to be the answer
on a different topic, how does longclaw increase hornet's needle range?
does she tape it on the tip of her needle? 
radiant motherfucking forebrothers
sit down assholes!
with their memory locket in my possession, I can get sylphsong and use it on groal
actually, before that, I'll get the last 2 spool fragments
omg I DESTROYED trobbio lmfao
team cherry really is right, the "easy mode" of hollow knight is exploring for upgrades
tbf, there's nothing wrong with that, specially in steel soul
chat I think I'm ready to fight groal, what do y'all say 
Naa
It makes the needle float out of her hand
"I did not ask for your help"
You literally have to ask her for help for her to show up in the arena
I really did not ask for her help
she wasn't besides the arena so I just went in but she showed up out of nowhere
do you not trust me on that? why would I be lying?
Why would I trust a stranger online smh
wow, act 3 is at arm's reach once again
after so many dumb defeats it almost seemed like a dream to reach it again
but this time, I didn't need to practice any boss
just a pair of act 2 exclusive deliveries and it's time for gms
Can confirm she literally decides to just show up now
Dont ever talk to me again until youve defeated mucked black threaded Savage beastfly /silly
I think I miss bilewater
I think I hate coral tower
Beautiful scenery... but those conchflies....
Fuck those conchflies...
im ready.
i got a bit scared
but i did it
the steel soul lives on!! 

sharp dart just instantly took care of the silly minions
I want that mask shard, but i procrastinated the beastfly till act 3... and I dont wanna deal with icky yucky void...
never seen him rest here before 
Is that like a sauna or something
yah
Fascinating
Today I found out there's a Sherma encounter with bell beast
Feels like a top quality silkpost
mmmm
rashers time i think, i unlocked all the shortcuts too so should be fine
first try 
helps to have done the route before and memorized, got hit three times and still made it 
peak :3
Yummy needle
silly beast felled
its actually cool ust how much stuff you can do before even tackling any of the melodies
@clever furnace red dot jumpscare
dies
pimpillo my goat :3
not sleeping smh
what are the small cages used for?
im aware theyres items inside but why? what point is there to keep items like this
maybe as incentive or as something "just out of reach" ?
idk
im busy being 
:3
grindle could fit in one of those tbh 😭
😭
for Nyleth patience is pretty important methinks
better to wait for a safer hit then throw yourself into spikes
the singer is mainly learning the attack patterns and persevering
in the final phase I just spammed tools and dodged to kill her before she kills me
for nyleth, pogo, and clawline you can get one pogo or more then clawline to the side let her do an attack then clawline into her, and make sure to be above her in the case she dashes,
karm also is quite weak to pogos, but going for one hit then running away between attacks is quite good too
what just happemd
I have no idea wtf is happenin in this video
i actually managed to get true 100% on one save file, after not playing for several months dam
@nosilksongdiscussion!
die
No u
I love that Lace is the one saying this, when she is also the one who has caused the gender discussions with Phantom by calling them Sister instead of Sibling
I can imagine after that "I TOLD YOU I'M NON BINARY"
Lace: HA jokes on you i don't know how to count
Phantom is an elderly silk-constructed being whose LITERAL FACE (mask) is FALLING OFF yet they still beat up Hornet..
Ida ho! - Funny silk bug in a steam engine piano thngy
Idaho?
Its one of the things phantom says while you fight them
i had an astronomically funny moment earlier when finishing my witch crest run
i was fighting LL and her song came on when i reached the arena, and i was really confused because the boss hadnt started yet
it was my spotify...
a little scary but we stay winning
i like the lore of these cultists
they literally burn the silk inside them to stay free from the curse
fella
deliveries are fun :3 i didnt realize the other ones dont even have a timer
Attempt at drawing Seth from silksong traditionally
(Fucked up his weapon 💔💔)
Truely a masterpiece of our time
am i the ionly one that finds it strange that the map machines go away after dispensing one map
what if someone came before me and bought a map
however will i get one now
never knew they could just eat the vessels
ooh getting this before bilewater might make it more enjoyable.. but then again i also have multibinder so 
They can also eat pimpillos and cogflies
thts so awesome i love this game
Thats awesome
stinky bud
ewww
get it away from your menu!
i wonder if the dude will comment on it at all if i havent done the first quest yet
huh wait
i always asumed it spawned after the first quest
didnt know it was just there
truly amazing
a pointless first quest then
with all the "its almost birth time" i thought the thing just didnt exist
I'd think the dude will be like oh good you have the thing now go get the purple things
oh yea i almost lost my save today to the stupid rhino beetle thing
in memorium
that creature is genuenly such bs
like
how am i supposed to hit you from behind
when your head is bigger than your body and covsers the top
and you ram and jump around and clip into my hitbox a ton
and also have an attack that just says fuck you as you spew rocks over every inch of my screen
🥹


if he does do this id just headcanon it to be a lore reason 
doesn't he need that for idk something
literally unplayable game
he goes back to sleep or something idk i kinda skipped over his dialogue on my first playthrough hes kinda boring af
true
doesnt even acknowledge the incessant whining
unplayable
yes SEE this is why i though the baby would be available

its like if the first quest was needed for the actual baby to be born
maybe its an overlook
im already typing it dont worry
run through like every room
zoomies


does anything special happens when you beat LL with the curse?
or does hornet refuse to jump down being like no I cant go like this
I think you can t fight ll while cursed
yea would make sense
yes game doesnt let you
something like "i must solve this before saving pharloon" or something
yep
man WHERE are these last 2 i swear ive been everywhere </3
they're all very visible and it's crazy how easy it is to miss them

WHAT
i just didnt get this one okay then
i swear i did thats why i never checked back here
one to go
the one that took me the longest to find was the one on the way to widow
I guess after beating her I never bother to go through that room again
yea the plan is get witch crest, hunt down lockets, and then get hunter 2 and then i think im fonally ready for melodies and hh arena WONT take me down this time 

zzzzz
scary part of the run i think
okay sneeb time
This is a modded boss that uses the cut sprites from the game. It's currently work in progress still. There's a bee conducting move that I haven't finalized and generally it needs more polish. I'd like to keep adding more hive content to Silksong even after this boss fight but we'll see.
Special thanks to Sumwan for having the GDrive with all t...
a mimir
I loved grand mother silks fight, Im just upset she was such a "that was easy! Too easy" type of boss
Yeah
Same issue with lace one and cogwork dancers imo
There's no reason for the random big enemy at the start of hunter's march to be significantly harder than Lace was
Most of the early game bosses are pretty easy actually
Bell Beast is fairly difficult and then there's kind of just nothing in terms of hard bosses until moorwing
