video-games

[elder ivy]

I understand yeah

[wintry cedar]

||Hunter’s March|| almost frustrated me to tears and when I beat it it was like “okay”

that was the area I was complaining about day 1 lol

[unique lily]

the thing I love about skong's gameplay is just how much more depth the movement and combat has

[wintry cedar]

It’s so good - though I don’t make much use of the ||crest|| system

I found the one I likes and never switched off it

[elder ivy]

I think it's not meant for early hours.. I think you're meant to come back to it once you get the ||reapers crest or something||

That's what I did and it felt much better

[wintry cedar]

I think you’re meant to get the ||cloak|| but yeah

[unique lily]

hunter's march is the Caelid of silksong

[wintry cedar]

It was the last available area before I had to grind money for the key so

[elder ivy]

So it's like.. I don't blame you but it's kinda on you... You didn't have to do it.. This is how team cherry teach you that exploration is important, you don't have to bash your head!!

[unique lily]

most players go there early and get their ass beat lol

[elder ivy]

No it's more like the tree sentinel at the beginning

Optional fight completely, but some people for some reason choose to fight it and suffer and hate the game

[wintry cedar]

No I left to grab the cloak

[light widget]

and then you stepped into the true horror area

[wintry cedar]

I did give up and explored

[unique lily]

the reward is worth it tho. Useful for the whole game

[wintry cedar]

What’s the reward for ||Hunter’s|| March again

[elder ivy]

What was even the reward??

[wintry cedar]

It was just a ||crest|| I thought

[light widget]

what is the condition to || upgrade your crests|| btw?

[unique lily]

that skull mask charm

[elder ivy]

Same

[wintry cedar]

I have no idea

[elder ivy]

What?? What's that?

[unique lily]

the one that lets you take an extra hit

[elder ivy]

Huh.......

[wintry cedar]

It’s not necessarily even ||upgrading them, you can get a difference marking too||

[light widget]

if you find it xd

[wintry cedar]

I didn’t get that yeah

Gayyy

Hm

[unique lily]

you go from dying in 3 hits to dying in 4 to double damage enemies

[light widget]

|| ye upgraded hunter and then got a yellow perma mark ||

[elder ivy]

What do you mean???? I thought I explored it thoroughly??????

😭

[wintry cedar]

That’s what I got too

I have no idea how to upgrade it though

[wintry cedar]

Me too!!

There must be a secret

[elder ivy]

I thought it was indeed just ||the crest||

[unique lily]

the thing I have learned is that you can never be thorough enough with this map lol. a friend of mine found a ||boomerang tool in hunter's march|| which I completely missed

[elder ivy]

Act 1?

[light widget]

i got that one lol, but i found || a secret area|| while i was looking for the || bombs in greymoore|| 💀

[unique lily]

yes

[elder ivy]

????? WHAT???
I MISSED TWO THINGS IN THERE????? ++

How????????

[wintry cedar]

There’s a shop yeah

[elder ivy]

😭

[wintry cedar]

I love that tool

I use it all the time

[elder ivy]

How did I miss that too????????????

Omg I have to go back there...

[wintry cedar]

It’s the same area lilac

[light widget]

the one || where you have to pay to get in?||

[wintry cedar]

You get the tool at the shop

[elder ivy]

I must be blind....

[wintry cedar]

I don’t remember 😔

[elder ivy]

I don't remember any shops meow 😭

I must be so blind wth

[wintry cedar]

Me too I wanted to get the hell out of March and so probably missed a lot

[elder ivy]

Yeah...

[wintry cedar]

I hateeee it

[elder ivy]

Argggghhhhhhh!!!!!!

[unique lily]

As someone who has experimented with ||crests|| a lot, I have to say, and I feel like I'm repeating this a lot: the ||crest system|| seems remarkably well balanced for playstyle variety besides one exception, the ||beast crest||. I tried so hard to work with it but it just doesn't happen

[light widget]

|| how many crests u got ? ||

[unique lily]

the heal feels so bad for such a short duration

[wintry cedar]

I haven’t tried anything besides repear 😔

[elder ivy]

It seems very difficult yeah...

[elder ivy]

Same hahaha

I love it too much

[unique lily]

reaper is a noob trap and I will stand by that claim

[wintry cedar]

||The Beast is the one that makes you heal every time you hit right? Yeah I don’t like that one||

[elder ivy]

I don't want to be without my baby ||the reaper crest||

[wintry cedar]

I don’t give a Flip

[unique lily]

I WILL glaze wanderer's crest until the day I die. Crazy dps build potential with that one

[elder ivy]

I hate hate how tiny your attacks though

I love to have big range

[wintry cedar]

Pogo is bad

[elder ivy]

I already take too much contact damage all the time.. I don't want to be forced to hug the enemies even more!!

[unique lily]

yeah that's the main difference between the two. Reaper is much safer while wanderer has way more potential if you can manage the short range

[elder ivy]

I see I see..

[unique lily]

it's like chooseing between mark of pride and quick slash

[light widget]

well the ||crest|| i just unlocked is a better ||wanderer|| but got a huge || negative ||

[elder ivy]

Ok I gotta go get some food now, see ya ❤️

[unique lily]

I'm already betting on ||wanderer's and architect's crests|| to be the main dps builds for this game's pantheons

[unique lily]

I dont think I have that one yet

[wintry cedar]

I do not either

[light widget]

you guys need to do your || wishes ||

[unique lily]

with the way ry has been hyping up act 3, It better be the best thing ever lol

[wintry cedar]

IM TRYING

I don’t even have whatever quest that’s supposed to be

[light widget]

im certain that you have that quest already

or atleast that you started it

[wintry cedar]

Probably not!

Unless it’s the ||pale oil|| one

[light widget]

no

[wintry cedar]

Then I don’t

[light widget]

you start that quest-line in ||act 1||

[wintry cedar]

I have three quests: ||the bells quest, pale oil, then the pilgrim cloaks||

[unique lily]

Also I find it absolutely insane that the main backlash TC has been getting from media aside from the chinese translation is the game being priced so low??? how tf is that a bad thing????

[wintry cedar]

I didn’t ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wintry cedar]

It messes with the economy

[light widget]

https://tenor.com/view/rainbow-spongebob-imagination-gif-999515482279420853

[wintry cedar]

If a game of silksong’s quality is so cheap then other games (made by developers who can’t afford to price it that cheap for far less game) it places pressure on other indie developers

It’s not their fault obviously

But I can understand why some people might be concerned

[unique lily]

yeah but silksong is like a 1 in a million game. Its not like it can become a standard even if ppl wanted it

[wintry cedar]

Doesn’t stop folks from being jerks about it 😔

[unique lily]

surely the media needs to be more concerned about the regular $80 price tags than a $20 one

[wintry cedar]

I mean of course but consider: those stories are old hat it’s time to pick on the hot new thing

/s

[unique lily]

yeah that makes sense. But I feel like they can still get clicks if they view it in a positive light instead of a negative one

but then again, Idk anything about viewer enagagement

[wintry cedar]

History has shown outrage is more popular than fluff pieces

Cuz you can get two kinds of audiences to interact: the ones who agree and the ones who don’t

[unique lily]

that actually makes a lot of sense wow

I'm still wondering when the void will show up in the game. Surely act 3 right?

[wintry cedar]

Surely

Surely

I want shade dash

I cannot tell you how much damage I’ve received relying on muscle memory of the shade dash

[unique lily]

yeah that most definietly ain't happening 😭

[wintry cedar]

I know Hornet can’t be void I don’t caaaare

She’s their sister surely she gets sibling privileges

[light widget]

i will say || it exists||

[unique lily]

the hardest boss in silksong was getting rid of the HK muscle memory lmao

[wintry cedar]

I have the ||silk art || yeah

[unique lily]

it was like the thing with hades and hades 2 all over again

[wintry cedar]

I still want the thingg

[wintry cedar]

I actually played h2 before h1 and the transition wasn’t very difficult

[unique lily]

I think ppl will come to appreciate skong's mechanics a lot more as time goes on as we've seen in hades 2

[wintry cedar]

No sprint but I was dashing a lot anyway

[unique lily]

but the other way around was kinda hard for me and most players

[wintry cedar]

I can imagine yeah

Going from skong to hk will be interesting

[unique lily]

I'm SO fking hyped for speedruns and optimizations you have no idea. It was probably my favorite thing about HK

[wintry cedar]

Unlike with Hades I think Hollow Knight’s playstyle is still as enjoyable as skong’s , with H1 I find it so much lesser than H2 they aren’t comparable (still good though!!)

[wintry cedar]

God yeah

Firebornnn

[unique lily]

fireborn my goat was using the wanderer's crest in his first playthrough. He sees the vision

[wintry cedar]

lol

[echo hazel]

ok @light widget i understand why you spent 4 hours in ||bilewater||

||groal||'s runback was RIDICULOUS

like martyr logarius levels of crap

the first time i actually got frustrated in this game

[light widget]

if you need a hint that makes it easier let me know

[wintry cedar]

It’s awfull

[echo hazel]

i beat the guy

[wintry cedar]

PLEASE

[light widget]

https://tenor.com/view/sorry-sliding-bow-late-gif-8802779

[wintry cedar]

I DON’T USUALLY WANT HELP BUT IS SO BAD

[echo hazel]

the boss itself and the arena weren't hard, the entire difficulty was because of the runback

[light widget]

|| there is a hidden bench halfway up to the guy ||

[wintry cedar]

WHERE

[echo hazel]

bruuuh 😂

[light widget]

|| do you know the long hallway with the flying umbrellas? next to there is one, but you have to access it from one story up ||

do you want a screen?

[wintry cedar]

I was like “surely they won’t be so cruel ||

[echo hazel]

yes

[wintry cedar]

Yes please

[light widget]

[echo hazel]

oh wow i didn't find that

[unique lily]

also can we talk about how amazing the boss quality is in this game? I feel like 90% of the bosses in this game have been an absolute treat, which is a higher number than most games I have played. I love that there's almost no "fodder" bosses like HK. The pantheon equivalent of this game is gonna be so peak

[echo hazel]

time to run it back once more!!

[echo hazel]

yeah bosses are awesome

though a few have abysmal runsbacks 😂

[wintry cedar]

They’re incredible yeah

[unique lily]

so far my fav boss was the ||second sentinel|| what a banger fight

[wintry cedar]

Except for beastfly hate that bastard

[echo hazel]

haven't found yet 🤨

[wintry cedar]

Me either

[echo hazel]

my favorite was ||phantom||

[wintry cedar]

I should stop being in here

Spoilers

[unique lily]

act 2 kinda secret boss found in the ||citadel||

[echo hazel]

aight I'll keep watch

[unique lily]

he has his own mini questline

[wintry cedar]

Alright I’m dipping for now 🫡🫡🫡 good luck

[echo hazel]

have any of y'all found ||the father of all flames|| or something like that

[unique lily]

his fight is basically ||phantom|| but way cooler and there's no runback

[echo hazel]

it's in a secret area above ||graymoor||

[light widget]

did anybody || hear of a "Laughing child" from a pilger?||

[echo hazel]

i heard yeah, i think it's just ||phantom||

i meant ||lace||

[unique lily]

that sounds like the name of an area in Blasphemous lol

[echo hazel]

it's a boss name 😂

[light widget]

thought it would be a || secret boss/npc||

[light widget]

i did || while i was looking for the bomb 💀 ||

[unique lily]

Father?? like Father of all Monsters?????

from HADES 2?????

[echo hazel]

WOAH

😲😲

[light widget]

so something just occured to me || i only found 3 keys, but i have no keydoors left? because 2 of them opened either by itself or you can access them from behind 💀||

[echo hazel]

here's every door i found

1. above ||bone bottom||, entrance to ||wormways||
2. bottom right of ||deep docks||
3. the ||green dude|| in ||sinner's road||
4. next to the ||architect|| in ||high halls||

[elder ivy]

it also works the other way arond too, right!!? now devs that make really high quality games will also be compared to silksong's price and it might end up making some games cheaper? probably not.. but it's still funny

[light widget]

||architect is its own key tho, not small, the architect sells it if you got x amount of tools||

|| also you can free the little red dude with a key aswell||

[unique lily]

unfortunately nothing can faze AAA studios, no matter how successful a game like silksong gets 😔

[elder ivy]

😔

[unique lily]

they WILL continue to give us shooter slop

[echo hazel]

wait wrong guy

[light widget]

either by gun or by foot

[elder ivy]

if they manage to implement online mutliplayer in silksong too, can you imagine how insane fireborn's hunter vs speedrunner series would be 😳 😳 😳

[echo hazel]

no the "little red dude" just needs you ||hit the door||

[light widget]

|| welp i just ignored him and he free'ed himself 💀 ||

[unique lily]

omg yes! it will be such a treat to watch

[echo hazel]

anyway, the guy ||in high halls that gives one of the songs you need|| there's ||a door next to him that needs a simple key||

[unique lily]

also what are our thoughts on ||Trobbio||? aside from him being a really fun fight

[echo hazel]

fraud i think you're way ahead of everyone here

[unique lily]

I think he will 100% show up again in the future or a dlc

[unique lily]

tf he's in act 2

[echo hazel]

actually wait that name sounds familiar

[unique lily]

he literally screams it at the start of his fight lol

||TRRRROOBBIOOOOOOO!!!||

[echo hazel]

I don't remember 😭

[unique lily]

have you gotten all the melodies?

[echo hazel]

no

[unique lily]

bc he's guarding one of them

[light widget]

thought the guy || wouldnt die tho 💀 ||

[unique lily]

||he didn't tho he was acting. If you leave and come back, you can see him get up to check if you're still there||

drama king

[light widget]

||funny lul, but he is connected to the big flame guy pizza mentioned 👀 ||

[unique lily]

aight then I don't wanna know

feels like we're all at the same point in the game but still experiencing different things lol

[elder ivy]

shows how great this game is!

[unique lily]

it truly does!

[light widget]

i just finished 2 out of 3 ||melodys|| because i literally think i did everything else 💀

if i didnt overlook any other secret area 💀

wait except that reminds me @unique lily || where does one get the buzzsaw? if that isnt the red flying beetles you can summon, cause i might need it for a quest that i cant finish yet ||

[wintry cedar]

If only

[elder ivy]

💔

[unique lily]

||you buy it from the architect in underworks||

[feral bobcat]

Oh so ||beastfly|| is a difficult boss but not ||trobbio|| or ||signis brothers|| /jk

Also ill ask again but
Someone here mentioned they got softlocked by a boss
Was it the ||chef|| in ||sinners||

[unique lily]

Idk those fight's felt hard but in a very fair way unlike the fly

[unique lily]

yeah it was him

[feral bobcat]

Is it forever bugged or could u get a win on another try

Just so i know to not waste my time

[unique lily]

bro was like "nah I'm out gang"

I won on the next try

[feral bobcat]

I thought||trobbio|| dashing at you during the explosions was more unfair

[unique lily]

I would just float in a safe spot during that

[feral bobcat]

And thats with ||hunter|| dps on ||trobbio|| vs ||reaper beastfly|| so i had it easier on the former

[unique lily]

also I had the parry for ||trobbio|| so that also made it easier

[feral bobcat]

Ngl i do believe ||reaper|| dps is lackluster now bc firing speed but as a generalist for getting through areas its great because you want safety
You can attack enemies on platforms above u
Pogos are safe
The dash attack makes u leap back so its safe
The bind is neat

[feral bobcat]

Still didnt go far enough in ||sands|| i believe thats where u found the skill

I keep falling on some spikes

Tho to be fair, playing for uhhh 17 hours straight might not be helpful

My focus is cooked

Played from yesterday 5ish pm till 13pm today

Tho i took some breaks, ate, some tf2 so account for that

[unique lily]

yeah that's basically my thoughts on it. I prefer it for platforming and change to ||hunter/wanderer/architect|| for combat

[feral bobcat]

I want more lockets on ||architect|| i really wanna try it

[unique lily]

its found in ||the mist|| after a boss

[feral bobcat]

I could see the ||wanderer|| vision if i had one more locket for the 3 bind charms but the range is offputting
It makes pogoing wack
Hitting upward wack
Cant hit through platforms above myself

[unique lily]

its high risk high reward which is basically my bread and butter in any game lol

[feral bobcat]

Oh i got in ||bile|| and ||mist || as i was exploring the area around that ||trobbio stage||
But i died to the white flying ghost things lmao

And no bench no map so i didn't explore much, only through the area with ||moving boxes|| and ||vault keeper||

[unique lily]

wierdly enough, I have gotten used to the wanderer pogo so much that I'm starting to like it more than reaper in some cases

[feral bobcat]

I do like that kinda gameplay yea but i just cant really do good pogos on enemies w it or have time to read incoming attacks

[elder ivy]

😭 No way...

[feral bobcat]

Like for example the ||high halls gauntlet|| had two of those ||gold flying claw guys|| and it was easiest to disparch them by pogoing

And the slash range for pogoing from a bit to the left or right of the enemy helps a lot

[elder ivy]

How do you not constantly take contact damage with wanderer though...

[feral bobcat]

To gain some height and then stay on top of them

Or if they move away so u dash and then u clip them on the edge of the hitbox

[elder ivy]

You make it sound so easy but you have to be very precise to pull it off.....

[unique lily]

I guess it helps that I never used longnail or mark of pride in HK either so maybe its easier for me to get used to the short range

[feral bobcat]

With ur crest itd be tough to do that, needs a lot of precision

[feral bobcat]

On ||reaper||?

[elder ivy]

Ahh it was my fav charm haha

[feral bobcat]

Im a pogo merchant lmao

[elder ivy]

On wanderer!

[feral bobcat]

Oh yea that's rough

Ofc

[elder ivy]

I use the reaper currently myself yeah

[feral bobcat]

Im not making it sound easy

I was talking about ||reaper||

[unique lily]

I loved it on my first run but I quickly realized that its just 3 wasted notches that I could be using on shaman stone/strength

[elder ivy]

Fair point...

I love having long range haha

[feral bobcat]

Id be fine with horizontal short range if vertical was better

[unique lily]

I ALWAYS take more damage over safety no matter the game lol

[feral bobcat]

Hades 2 type mindset

Big number

[unique lily]

BEEG NUMBER

[feral bobcat]

The bigger the better

Anyway ill prob only.play more silksong tomorrow cuz today i crashed out after that long session and slept a bit but im clearly not top shape

Sucks that i keep falling more and more behind

[unique lily]

dude I'm losing my mind I have a friend who calls ||Trobbio "Throbbio" 💀 ||

[elder ivy]

Not as behind as me....

[feral bobcat]

I thought i had such good momentum then i backtracked a lot for hidden areas , shops

[feral bobcat]

What if he spawned those explosives like hearththrobs as he dashes

Absolute ||trobbio|| moveset

[unique lily]

ascended ||trobbio|| surely

[feral bobcat]

Also also
Recently finding out parrying w the nail is so huge like not just viable actually huge

It helps a lot with any enemy that fires projectiles or lobs explosives

[unique lily]

yeah I've been warming up to it a lot more

[feral bobcat]

Such as||trob||

[feral bobcat]

Ull get there quick

[elder ivy]

Idk I'm slowing down a lot too now.. Starting to burn out a bit too....

[feral bobcat]

Im making a mistake by not playing in an optimal state of mind and rest

So i only really progress through brute force

[elder ivy]

😔

[feral bobcat]

||mt fay|| is still so embarrasing to me lmao

Didnt know how harpoon worked at all

So i made it 5x harder than necessary

[feral bobcat]

I been burnt out for years but i still function hell yea

Beating silksong through sheer will and mogging the enemies

[elder ivy]

||the harpoon ability|| is my favourite, I love it so much!! I try to use it all the time hahahah

[harsh verge]

||is harpoon the one with gravity from shellwood||

[elder ivy]

No

[harsh verge]

im toughing it out through silksong because ive heard the lore is evil

also the ||weaverdens|| are crazy

like what the hell

[elder ivy]

Are you still in act 1?

[harsh verge]

yesss

[feral bobcat]

I need to learn how to use it in combat more

[elder ivy]

Ok ok cool

[harsh verge]

im suffering through ||sinners rd||

hate this area

why does every enemy have a 2 dmg combo attack 😭

[echo hazel]

how do i open the door on the top right of ||cauldron||?

[elder ivy]

It's great in combat!! Whenever an enemy zones you, you can instantly close the distance on them with it and transition into pogoing on them!!

[feral bobcat]

Does it stun tho

[elder ivy]

No why would it

[echo hazel]

also i found a ||surgeon's key|| but I've no idea where to use it

[elder ivy]

Your regular attacks don't stun

[echo hazel]

does anyone remember a locked door somewhere in ||whiteward||

[feral bobcat]

Well im not getting on an enemy only to get hit by them

[elder ivy]

It's like a regular attack in terms of damage, I think

[feral bobcat]

Id rather dash to a near by distance and assess their action

Based on that i attack or back up

[elder ivy]

Well you need to time it of course! If they just finished an attack, you'll be okay

Because there is like a couple of seconds between attacks usually

[harsh verge]

how does the ||wanderer|| moveset play?

[austere wadi]

I may quit this game over 2 mask hazards.

[harsh verge]

i know where to find it but idk if i want to spend a key to unlock it

[harsh verge]

crash out with me twin

[feral bobcat]

@unique lily awaken my masters

[elder ivy]

You don't need a key for it, I don't think

[harsh verge]

im a hunter addict i fear

[elder ivy]

So it's probably a wrong place

[harsh verge]

oh...

i like hunters crest

[elder ivy]

Not the reaper even?

[harsh verge]

||the upgraded version you get from weavenest atla|| is lowkey really good

i used to use reaper but ive been recovering

[elder ivy]

Wanderer is very hard to play.. Fraud seems to like it... But I don't

[austere wadi]

"We heard people liked the Path of Pain, so we doubled hazard damage and called it '||Cogwork Core||'."

[feral bobcat]

What does the ||upgrade|| do btw lmao

[feral bobcat]

Hahaha good luck with that one

[harsh verge]

its like blood drops if it didnt suck

[elder ivy]

Is this act 2?

[austere wadi]

Yes.

[feral bobcat]

You'll find a pleasant surprise at the end of it

[harsh verge]

||THE HOLLOW KNIGHT IS ALIVE BECAUSE OF THE POWER OF LOVE??||

[austere wadi]

I know I'm on the trail of the ||Pale Oil.||

[elder ivy]

Not clicking on it then, I'm not there yet 😔

[feral bobcat]

Power of friendship

[elder ivy]

||hornets lost sister.. Jornet||

[feral bobcat]

Jornet sounds like jeans hornet

Yknow those means

[harsh verge]

the secret zagreus fight is at the end of the platforming gauntlet

[elder ivy]

Yeah that's what I was thinking hahah

[feral bobcat]

Like the jouch, jean couch

[unique lily]

bro the ||cogwork core|| was so fun

[feral bobcat]

It was fun but screw the ||gauntlet||

[unique lily]

the music is so good in that area too

[austere wadi]

The most memorable so far.

[harsh verge]

also guys who do you think would win in a fight

hallownest or pharloom

[feral bobcat]

I fear i cant actually remember any song

[harsh verge]

when the pale king was alive obv

[feral bobcat]

I need to check the album on god

[elder ivy]

Pharloom for sure

[unique lily]

hallownest is more dead than pharloom so prob pharloom

[feral bobcat]

Pharloom has a goddamn Talos

[unique lily]

yeah pharloom has clankers on their side

[feral bobcat]

It has the power of the gays

[elder ivy]

Gay Clankers...

[harsh verge]

okay but they dont seem to have soul magic from what i see?

[feral bobcat]

Twink showdown between grimm and ||trobbio||

[unique lily]

silk IS a form of soul magic from the lore I have understood

[harsh verge]

also pharloom was presumably ||not kidnapping|| people when pk was alive

[harsh verge]

silk stores soul magic i believe

it isnt soul magic inherently

[feral bobcat]

So stupid question yea but

[harsh verge]

or wait actually you might be right

[feral bobcat]

The rosary strings

Do they last in ur inventory on all deaths

[elder ivy]

yes, rosary strings are good

[feral bobcat]

Or just 1 death or

[harsh verge]

i think they start fraying when you die

[unique lily]

no silk is a manifestetion of soul, similar to how howling wraiths and vengeful spirit are

[austere wadi]

Stringed rosary beads are like regular items, I think.

[elder ivy]

tie them all up all the time

[feral bobcat]

Aight

[austere wadi]

They do not get dropped upon death.

[elder ivy]

the 20 rosary tax is whatever

it's worth it

[feral bobcat]

Imma farm some and then tie em up to go to the ||thief||

[harsh verge]

i believe the best stringer is the ||flea caravan guy||

unless there are other ones

[feral bobcat]

Idk what other shops i still have open

I guess theres the wish posts

[elder ivy]

I'm amazed you are further in the game than me and havent known this 😭

[feral bobcat]

And i need ||metal|| for ||arhictect||

[elder ivy]

stringed rosaries are sooo good, I always have been doing it

do it at ||Bellhart|| for the best exchange rate

[feral bobcat]

I kinda knew but just didnt know how many deaths

Since i never kept track of my string cohnt

[elder ivy]

it lasts forever yeah

[feral bobcat]

I thought it was like 1 more life and then gone

Since my inventory count is so volatile

[harsh verge]

i wonder if team cherry has analytics for where people are dying

[feral bobcat]

Oh question

[harsh verge]

ahem. ||moorclaw||

[elder ivy]

they probably have analytics for everything!! at least I hope so

[feral bobcat]

Theres in uhh i think ||mt fsy|| a guy who says ||he helps those without faces, but that we already have a mask||

[unique lily]

I was thinking of doing all achievements in this game but then I saw that one of them requires you to beat steel soul 💀 maybe one day...

[harsh verge]

i feel really bad for the casual hk players who loved the lore

[feral bobcat]

Whats his deal

[elder ivy]

that fight is so hard I know 😭

[harsh verge]

no bc why was ||widow easier than moorclaw||

[elder ivy]

5 hour speedrun one seems tricky too!!

[harsh verge]

bc she was actually fun to fight

||moorclaw|| felt like it was trying to touch me

i was actually so scared

[unique lily]

||moorwing|| is the first hard boss of the game

[elder ivy]

nooo I dont agree, the ||widow|| was very hard for me too

[harsh verge]

thats fair

[elder ivy]

or rather.... the very final phase was extremely hard

[harsh verge]

i think mostly ||widow is more fun and has a better runback||

[elder ivy]

I agree with that yeah

[harsh verge]

unless you do ||beastfly first||

[feral bobcat]

||widow|| was like 2nd or maybe 3rd try
||Moorwing|| maybe double digits

[harsh verge]

yea

the fly almost made me crash out

i cannot lie

bc why does the runback also include the ||cage ant guy||

[feral bobcat]

Fly was manageable when i came back to it with better damage better movement

[elder ivy]

the first couple of phases on the ||widow|| are pretty manageable, but the final after the ||death fakeout|| is the worst 😭 how am i supposed to ||dodge 200000 bells coming my way from all directions?||

[harsh verge]

||sister splinter was super fun||

[harsh verge]

i liked the way the music synced up though 😔

[elder ivy]

what about the ||fourth chorus arena beastfly?? that one is so awful too|| LETO DONT CLICK

[unique lily]

I have been seeing a lot of ppl clowning on moorwing bc they struggled on it. Like I dont think the boss has any design issue (its actually really well designed imo) but its just very punishing compared to all the previous bosses

[feral bobcat]

Uhhh apply daze

[harsh verge]

i think its just a really oppressive fight

[elder ivy]

it was so hard I couldnt pay attention to the music 😔

[unique lily]

but it feels so good once it clicks

[feral bobcat]

Took a lot of tries because again im not taking care of myself
But, the fly itself is ok
The adds sucked , need to hit my full ||storm|| on them

[harsh verge]

👎

[unique lily]

the learning process is a bit rough that I can agree with

[harsh verge]

i actually disagree like genuinely

[elder ivy]

yeah the adds are the worst part in that fight

[harsh verge]

i think the hitboxes are evil

[feral bobcat]

The blades are annoying is all

[harsh verge]

because the attack hitboxes are under them and then you have to hit them from under them

[feral bobcat]

It ||hits twice|| WITH || a stagger||

[harsh verge]

yeah literally why

[elder ivy]

the double mask damage in this game is very punishing for sure 😔

[harsh verge]

anyways this too

[feral bobcat]

Also the guy who helps u does like kinda nothing i believe

[unique lily]

damn It feels like I'm the only one who enjoyed moorwing 😭

[harsh verge]

i hope they add accessibility options for casuals

[feral bobcat]

The ||Zaza|| fellow

[elder ivy]

hopefully TC will add an easy mode or something 🙏

[harsh verge]

he was there for morale

i liked hearing his voice

||i think its the dung defender va||??

[feral bobcat]

He was a meat shield at best

[harsh verge]

#morale

[feral bobcat]

Moveset is fun when u get it but the blades are so annoying when u arent used to their paths

[elder ivy]

||whaaat? Garmond and Zaza help you with Moorwing?||

[unique lily]

so far I have only really disliked one boss and that is the ||beastfly||

that shi was some turbo ass

[elder ivy]

i agree yeah

gruzmother if it was bad

[feral bobcat]

Lmfao yea

[unique lily]

gruzfather

[elder ivy]

I found them only after that fight so I didnt get their help 😔

oh well

[feral bobcat]

Now that i rack my tired brain i cant remember disliking a boss after beating it ... Apart from ||signis brothers||

Like i would mald yea but

[unique lily]

also apparently you can just skip ||moorwing|| entirely if you get the ||flea caravan to travel to greymoor before beating it||

[feral bobcat]

Idk

[harsh verge]

i cant place my finger on why i didnt like #gruzbrother

dont feel like spoilering ||beastfly||

i think its bc it just doesnt telegraph very well

[elder ivy]

the adds is the worst part in my opinion..

[harsh verge]

once i got the hang of dashing under it it was better though

i was okay with the adds tbh bc ||it can kill them||

[feral bobcat]

U dont wanna dash much against it

[unique lily]

now imagine if they pulled an ascended markoth and removed the floor. That would be crazy right?

[feral bobcat]

Actually the removed floor was sometimes useful

[harsh verge]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G0P8zvuWsAA-H_h?format=jpg&name=240x240

[elder ivy]

thank god team cherry arent that evil 😌

[feral bobcat]

It can fall in the floor with gives u time, cuts the attack sequence short and makes the spawn spot predictable

[elder ivy]

||😭 ||

[harsh verge]

fraud do you have any last words

[harsh verge]

girl the bench

the bench in ||sinners road||

[elder ivy]

😭 😭 😭 😭

[harsh verge]

like WHYY

[unique lily]

what did I do?? 😭

[harsh verge]

i talk to shakra and then i go "what is that awful sound"

and i look behind me

no i just think he cant be giving tc ideas

[elder ivy]

||they make you PAY for it 😭||

oh

lmaooo

[harsh verge]

i am genuinely expecting a bench in some region that just falls through the floor and takes me back to the start of the game

[elder ivy]

yeah that would be such an evil idea... i'm so glad team cherry didnt do it 🙏

thank god

[unique lily]

uhhhh....

[harsh verge]

...

[feral bobcat]

Hear me out

[harsh verge]

ill crash out

no bc i paid ||300 mask shards to build that damn bridge||

it better save me

ALSO APPARENTLY THE ||BRIDGE ||IS DESTRUCTIBLE??

[feral bobcat]

||beastfly||
One piece of land
Spawns the chompers from||sinners|| instead of the flyers

[harsh verge]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G0P8zvuWsAA-H_h?format=jpg&name=240x240

[feral bobcat]

Frenzy 2 aswell

[elder ivy]

I accidentally destroyed it 😔

[unique lily]

OR a beastfly duo!

[harsh verge]

also can we talk about how every enemy has like 600 animation sprites and yet every single one has the same damn ||claw flurry 2 masks attack||

all that animation work just for ||"grab grab slam 2 damage ooh that combo was cold"||

[unique lily]

I can already tell ||beastfly|| is gonna be memed to hell and back by the community

[elder ivy]

I'm so happy you're here leto because you're the only person whose spoiler tags I can click on safely because you're the only person who's behind me currently hahahaha

[harsh verge]

</3 i need to 100% act 1 before i move on

[feral bobcat]

If fly gave a better reward maybe it was better received

[harsh verge]

||like when i found out every enemy has a mandolin animation i was really impressed||

[harsh verge]

the bosses dropping no money is so evil

[feral bobcat]

HUH

[unique lily]

Team cherry: "I just think they're neat"

[elder ivy]

the ||mask shard is a pretty good one at least!!!|| (leto dont click)

[harsh verge]

YUP

||you can use them on some environmental corpses too|| and it summons ghosts

[elder ivy]

????????????????????????????????

[elder ivy]

????????????????? OMG

[feral bobcat]

Im trying to avoid it sometimes for the ||silk faster regen || but idk

[unique lily]

yeah I've uncovering some pretty epic lore with it

[feral bobcat]

I CAN RAISE THE DEAD IN SILKSONG

HADES DOES IT AGAIN

[harsh verge]

i got the ||beast crest|| but its highkey kind of bad

like its really bad

[elder ivy]

do I have to play the ||needolin in every single room??|| 😭

[harsh verge]

the downslash is terrible

[elder ivy]

yeah no one has figured it out yet properly...

[harsh verge]

like i see the vision but the downslash is ass im sorry

[unique lily]

Its BY FAR the worst one yeah

[feral bobcat]

Maybe if it had more charm slots itd be better

[elder ivy]

5 red tool slots 🔥

[harsh verge]

i feel like ||beast and reaper|| are supposed to be the bossing crests but ||beast|| has a really bad moveset and a meh risk/reward and ||reaper|| is fine

[unique lily]

the lifesteal is also ass bc the duration is so short

[feral bobcat]

||architect||

||reaper|| is NOT for bossing ive found out lmao

[elder ivy]

#video-games message
someone answer this please ^

[feral bobcat]

Far too slow attack speed

[harsh verge]

idk i just know its for some enviro corpses

waitt

[unique lily]

the only good thing about beast crest is hornet's growling noises

[harsh verge]

i should ||go play it next to the ant dancer statue||

[unique lily]

do it for the LORE

[elder ivy]

OMG YOURE RIGHT

!!!!!!

[feral bobcat]

Does nothing

[harsh verge]

HEARTBREAKING

[elder ivy]

OMG GIO

dont spoil though

i wouldnt mind going there to try it out

[harsh verge]

https://i.redd.it/aq0i98o2aynf1.jpeg

[unique lily]

the ant dancer statue seems so important it has to do something later on

[elder ivy]

I know right.....

it seems sooo specific

[harsh verge]

idk if it has lore implications tbh

[feral bobcat]

Theres a lot of empty secret rooms tbh

[harsh verge]

bc the mantis tribe also just had the sisters grave

[elder ivy]

ok I gotta go, I need to do some more homework before I can play more silksong 😔

[feral bobcat]

[feral bobcat]

I can silk my song aaaaalll day after i sleep tho , ive genuinely got blood veins on my eyes

[feral bobcat]

Wait i haven't seen my goat in forever

I better not find an empty shawl and hat somewhere

[harsh verge]

omg wait apparently you can call the ||bellbeast with the needolin||

[harsh verge]

||i saw them in bellhart||

[unique lily]

||mine is chilling in songclave healing ppl||

[feral bobcat]

Speaking of ||bellhart||

Theres a quest for finding bells

[harsh verge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Silksong/comments/1nbnr60/my_fan_art_for_silksong/

[feral bobcat]

Are those preset and limited or spawn again every time

[harsh verge]

this is kinda fire

[unique lily]

I can't wait for someone to put together an hour long compilation of all the needolin interactions

[harsh verge]

i think most of the fetch quests are preset?

[feral bobcat]

Next one will be the fly

[harsh verge]

||did you do the purple heart|| quest?

[feral bobcat]

For the charm?

[harsh verge]

ya

[feral bobcat]

Ye

[harsh verge]

[feral bobcat]

Just you wait until a ||gauntlet|| spawns like 15 guys with those bells so u cant pogo anything

[elder ivy]

do we know if that || purple charm does a lot of damage by the way?||

[feral bobcat]

I should test

But i just take it cuz what else even adds damage

[elder ivy]

let me know what you find out!

[feral bobcat]

Prob not soon, tomorrow

[elder ivy]

[feral bobcat]

But ill try to use the ||flea brew gas|| to kill something

[echo hazel]

HAHA delivered ||courier's rash|| with ||1/4 integrity|| left 🔥 💯

[feral bobcat]

I expect something like 1/4 nail dmg per tick but im just saying a random number

[elder ivy]

I'd hope at least 1/2 nail dmg....

it doesnt tick that many times....

[feral bobcat]

I hate deliveries , didnt do a single one but in hk it was annoying i dont think i ever completed it

And the timer in this game feels so short

Idk if im supposed to find shortcuts or whatever

[elder ivy]

did you do the ||queen egg delivery to Styx?||

[echo hazel]

so where do i find a ||crustnut||

[echo hazel]

yes

[elder ivy]

that one was quite brutal hahaha

[feral bobcat]

Is ||styx|| the one in ||sinners||

[echo hazel]

yes

[feral bobcat]

Memory did t fail me this time

[echo hazel]

you need to have ||double jump|| and the tool that makes you ||sprint faster by consuming silk||

[feral bobcat]

I will run into an enemy headfirst w that

[echo hazel]

go left through ||shellwood||, climb ||blasted steps||, go to ||the citadel through the grand gate|| and then make a run for it

anyway has any of you found a ||crustnut||

[solar hound]

Reaper crest is insane

She has an entirely different moveset? Man

And a more effective pogo lol

Just as I was getting used to it

[echo hazel]

sorry, ||hunter's crest|| solos 😤

[elder ivy]

It's my favourite one for sure, I am not taking it off

[white lotus]

My favourite is ||quickslash|| I don't remember the name

[elder ivy]

it's so boring relatively speaking though.... it's just the most basic ass one 😔

[elder ivy]

it's ||wanderer||

[white lotus]

The crest of the ||hunter "||?

[white lotus]

Oh ok!

[echo hazel]

whole game on ||hunter|| crest, swapped to ||wanderer|| for a few seconds in ||cogwork core||

[white lotus]

I use that so much

[solar hound]

I am… bemused about having to unlock charm slots again

That was pretty mean

[elder ivy]

why dont you like the ||reaper one?||

[echo hazel]

feels a little slower

[feral bobcat]

||reaper|| for exploring areas
||Hunter|| for bosses or gauntlets

Safety and mobility for one
Dps for the other

[elder ivy]

why not switch to ||wanderer? Fraud says it has the highest DPS||

[echo hazel]

guys what's up with the tunnel at the top right of ||blasted steps||? it's on the map but I can't find it

[echo hazel]

it also has the ||shortest|| range

[elder ivy]

yeah it sucks haha 😔

[elder ivy]

been wondering that too... probably another mystery to solve.....

[feral bobcat]

Where exactly cuz i cant manifest the map in my mind

[elder ivy]

on the ||runback to the last judge, there is an area where you can climb up but it's a dead-end but on the map it shows as if you can go further up||

[solar hound]

Where are the charm slot unlocking thingies

[feral bobcat]

Oh right

[elder ivy]

everywhere scattered across the map...

[echo hazel]

there's plenty all around the game

[feral bobcat]

Some shops and secret rooms

[elder ivy]

since I only use one crest all the time I have like 4 in my inventory just sitting haha

[echo hazel]

i have 9

[solar hound]

Lowkey… I like hornet’s pogo

Wow I am really bad at finding those crests

But anyway I like hornet’s pogo…

Hunters crest is actually hard for me to use

[echo hazel]

ok so i just looked up where ||crustnut|| is and god damn

it would've taken me at least an hour to check the spot

[elder ivy]

I agree!! it has a lot more thought put into it than the Knight's

the knight's pogo was very simple which also made it a bit more boring

[wintry cedar]

I hare this gameeee I hate ||bilewater|| so mych

[elder ivy]

spoiler tag it, Yum hasnt been there yet I think!!!

[wintry cedar]

I disagree entirely I think the Knight’s pogo was seamless and Hornet’s is more difficult for very little gain

[echo hazel]

||bilewater|| is just the deepnest of this game

[elder ivy]

yeah it was seamless but it also made it more boring

[wintry cedar]

Boring is subjective

For me the pogo was better because it was thoughtless, it was as easy as breathing

Hornet’s is more complicated which takes up more attention of which I do not have much

[elder ivy]

yeah one could argue that's more boring because games are supposed to be somewhat challenging

[wintry cedar]

Ye

[elder ivy]

I like having to put thought into my moves!

[wintry cedar]

For me I guess like.. the challenge is less fun

:/

[elder ivy]

understandable..

[wintry cedar]

My hands hurt my head hurts this area is awful I want to die

[elder ivy]

maybe team cherry will grant us an easy mode 🙏

[wintry cedar]

No

[elder ivy]

no as in you dont want it?

[wintry cedar]

Yes

[echo hazel]

OH MY GOD IT'S AN ENTIRE AREA

[wintry cedar]

The game is supposed to be hard, even though I hate it that’s intentional

[elder ivy]

well it would be optional anyway, I hope there is an easy mode for people who need it

[wintry cedar]

Perhaps

I don’t know how they could make it Easier per se

[elder ivy]

yeah they could do it similarly to how it was done in Celeste

[red quartz]

increase player damage

[elder ivy]

where the developers clearly indicate that its not the intended way to play, but if you must.... you can have it

[red quartz]

that'll unironically fix most of my problems with it

[elder ivy]

or remove 2 mask damage haha

[red quartz]

like, enemies doing double damage or comboing you into losing masks would feel less frustrating if you can also kill enemies faster

[echo hazel]

i was just looking for a ||crustnut|| to get the ||oil|| and found another secret area oh my god

this game is insane

[red quartz]

like genuinely why do those bugs in ||beastfly bossfight|| take 4 hits to kill

[elder ivy]

I love it sooo much

[elder ivy]

yeah that's sooo annoying...

or the tiny ants that crawl on the ground take 4 hits to kill too??? they're just little guys!!!!! why do they have so much hp!!!!

[red quartz]

literally, just say, making player damage 1.5x would make everything sooooo much less frustrating

[wintry cedar]

True

[red quartz]

how do i put it, hmm

like, with hollow knight, i could come back home after a tough day at job, and relax and play.
with silksong i have to be locked in all the time

because every enemy hits like a boss fight and has hp like that too

[feral bobcat]

||mist||?

[red quartz]

i can't relax, and that leads to frustrations

[echo hazel]

nah i found that very soon

it's ||karak sands|| or something like that

[red quartz]

still, loving the game even if it keeps rage baiting me

[elder ivy]

yeah I think it was by design.. this isn't a chill game... it's a challenging and difficult experience on purpose... I sort of like it though because it makes the game more immserive in some ways!!

[feral bobcat]

Oh yeah

[elder ivy]

you actually feel how it is in Hornet's shoes

[feral bobcat]

From ||blasted steps||

[red quartz]

the ||bench in hunter's march|| was vile

genuine rage bait

[echo hazel]

yeah

[elder ivy]

hahahahahah

[red quartz]

i legit just paused and quit before the ||trap||

[wintry cedar]

MY GAME BUGGED OUT AND THERE’S AN INVINCIBLE MOBBB

I NEED TO BACKTRACK AGAINNNNNN

I HATE THIS AREA

[red quartz]

[wintry cedar]

ITS SO AWFUL

[feral bobcat]

Do i do it

[red quartz]

also can i just say, the combat feels better once i got the float ability

[elder ivy]

combat feels even better than that once you get the ||harpoon ability!!|| I dont know if you're that far yet though

[red quartz]

wiffing a diagonal pogo feels less pain when i can just press space and cancel all momentum

[white lotus]

Diagonal pogo is so good once you get used to it

[feral bobcat]

Just read a facebook comment saying silksong is woke bs cuz of female protagonist

I think i just gained a point of iq from this

[elder ivy]

😭 😭 😭
and she's super badass and cool too!!

[feral bobcat]

Lies and deceit

Snake oil

[solar hound]

It’s so satisfying

[wintry cedar]

I hate this area

[red quartz]

yeah it feels more satisfying when you chain like 5 pogos in a go

[wintry cedar]

I hate it so much

[red quartz]

espcially on keyboard

[feral bobcat]

Do i do it

[white lotus]

You are dancing in the air! Majestic

[wintry cedar]

And I can’t leaveee

[red quartz]

i literally hold down S the entire time in air

[wintry cedar]

Do what

[feral bobcat]

Gitgud

[red quartz]

parrying with diagonal pogo :peak:

[white lotus]

Oh! I know where you are now

[feral bobcat]

Im sorry

[wintry cedar]

Im tryinggggg

[red quartz]

yeah i'd just prefer it be less frustrating

[wintry cedar]

No I can leave it’s just that I don’t have many other plces left to go

[elder ivy]

I hear you

[solar hound]

I’m tired of being poor

[red quartz]

that's why i suggested doubling player damage rather than reducing enemy damage

[solar hound]

All my money goes to benches and shakra

I have no savings

[elder ivy]

immersive capitalist experience!!!

[solar hound]

How is hornet going to retire

[feral bobcat]

Wait are u trying the parkour at the entrance of ||sands|| meow

[white lotus]

Constant in life and in SS

[unique lily]

OMG THE ENEMIES SING ALONG WITH YOU WHEN YOU PLAY THE NEEDOLIN??????

[feral bobcat]

Benches are real estate

[wintry cedar]

Yes

[unique lily]

PEAK VIDEO GAME

[white lotus]

WHAT?

[feral bobcat]

WCUZE ME

[wintry cedar]

This is just like hit video game Transistor

[white lotus]

I CAN SHERMA THE ENEMIES?

[red quartz]

also chat how do you taunt on KBM?

please tell me

[feral bobcat]

Whats taunt even for lmao

[red quartz]

baiting enemies

[feral bobcat]

I forgot it existed

[elder ivy]

also if you quit out of the game in ||Bellhart before you rescue the citizens, Hornet will also get all silked up and be floating in the air trapped like the others when you start it again||

team cherry think of everything!!!!!

I love it

[unique lily]

I thought the needolin would never have as much depth as the dream nail but boy was I wrong

[unique lily]

WHAT????

[elder ivy]

!!! i know right!!!

[wintry cedar]

It’s still not as useful imo

[unique lily]

Silksong GOTY

[elder ivy]

the attention to detail is astounding!!!!!!

[wintry cedar]

It doesn’t really stall them + dream nail used to give mana

[elder ivy]

Expedition 33 does not stand a chance!!!!

[unique lily]

but you can get lore out of so many things

[white lotus]

I am scared of that grey box

[wintry cedar]

Not much! I tried using it on enemies they don’t have much to say

[elder ivy]

it's a very minor Bellhart spoiler

[wintry cedar]

Have you gotten the climbing ability

[white lotus]

Ja

[elder ivy]

you can click on it then

[wintry cedar]

Then it’s good

[unique lily]

but they sing along with the dream nail esque dialogue!

[wintry cedar]

Like what things can you get lore from?

[unique lily]

its so good

[elder ivy]

me

[wintry cedar]

Yeah but I want mana

I want manaa

[elder ivy]

who cares about mana!!! lore >>>>

[unique lily]

I have been using it on the enemies in the citadel

[white lotus]

But but but! To think I never got it

[wintry cedar]

It’s not lore!! It’s them going “climb… song..” which is lame and gay

[elder ivy]

fair enough 😔

[unique lily]

I also have a tool that increases needolin range

[white lotus]

Why was this the requirement for that question?

[unique lily]

bro most of HK's enemy dream dialog were also one or two words 😭

[wintry cedar]

If you can climb you’ve been to that area

[wintry cedar]

Yeah but you got mana

It was worth it to dream nail for the soul

Needolin costs soul it’s not worth it

[elder ivy]

I wish it didnt cost anything at least yeah 😔

[unique lily]

did you seriously use dream nail for soul? just hit the enemy lmao you get more that way

[elder ivy]

no you get more from dream nailing them...

[white lotus]

No you don't need climb to ||reach bellhart|| am I crazy?
Or is the quitting out not in ||bellhart||?

[wintry cedar]

When they were staggered yeah

[elder ivy]

you're overthinking it sunberry 😔

[unique lily]

looks like someone didn't have quick slash equipped

[wintry cedar]

No no, if you have climbing then you’ve reached ||shellwood|| which means you’ve been to bellhart

[elder ivy]

I want my nail to be long, not fast!!

a statement you can say about many things, I'm sure 😔

thank god pronto is not here

[white lotus]

Isn't the climbing ability in ||shellwood||? I didn't need it to walk towards ||bellhart|| wtf.
And in two different playthroughs

[elder ivy]

you're overthinking it omg 😭

[wintry cedar]

Yeah shellwood is after bellhart so if you’ve gone to shellwood you’ve been to bellhart

[white lotus]

Yes I clearly am

[wintry cedar]

That’s the logic

😭😭😭

[elder ivy]

😭 😭 😭 😭

jesus

[white lotus]

Oh i got it now

[elder ivy]

omg yay

[feral bobcat]

Do you like it diagonal or vertical tho

[elder ivy]

diagonal

[white lotus]

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[feral bobcat]

I shall refrain from saying what i want to say

[unique lily]

I also have a ||glass cannon tool that greatly increases my damage dealt and taken|| and its taking every fiber in my being to resist equipping it

[elder ivy]

no police will be called then 😌

[feral bobcat]

Belt?

[unique lily]

yes

[feral bobcat]

My goat

[unique lily]

I like big numbers what can I say?

[wintry cedar]

I hate this game

[feral bobcat]

Use it on the farm spot

[wintry cedar]

I cannot stand it

I hate this area

I want to die

[elder ivy]

some people are already speedrunning silksong wtf 😭

[feral bobcat]

With the charm that increases||rosaries,||

U get like ||50,|| per enemy

[solar hound]

Where do I get it tell me now

[unique lily]

the speedrun community has been foaming at the mouth thinking of this game. You think they would wait?

[elder ivy]

you're very far from it for now

[feral bobcat]

Late game ish

[elder ivy]

dont spoil yourself anything

it is not worth it haha

[elder ivy]

something something take time to savour the intended experience first??? 😭

[feral bobcat]

Delayed gratification all thay

[elder ivy]

yeah

much more fun that way

instead of burninig yourself out

[feral bobcat]

Slow and steady wins the race
That's why ||reaper||my GOAT

[elder ivy]

I binged the hell out of Elden Ring and I regretted it sooo much because it didnt let me enjoy the game as much 😔

[solar hound]

I don’t even care to recover my shade most of the time because I have no rosaries to save

[feral bobcat]

If only i had hardware for elden ring

[elder ivy]

you can farm a good bit of them in the ||crow village||

[feral bobcat]

Maybe in like 5 years when i have the money

[elder ivy]

if you want a similar experience to Silksong, ELden ring definitely scratches that itch really well too!!

[unique lily]

I've seen speedrunners who have 100%ed the game already so they kinda have savoured the experience. The main thing is that they don't get stuck on bosses and hard sections like us normal ppl do

[elder ivy]

the only two games that can pull it off

[feral bobcat]

No specs

[elder ivy]

just letting you know for the future ✅

[light widget]

I'm at work but I feel you

[elder ivy]

😭 😭 😭

[light widget]

I know exactly why you wrote this 💀

[unique lily]

whoever designed the ||maggot water|| needs to be locked up

[elder ivy]

I've only barely dipped my toes in ||Bilewater|| but I already hate it too... cant wait to see what other horrors beyond my comprehension are there....

[unique lily]

imo its the hardest location in the game so far and its not even remotely close

[elder ivy]

😭 😭 😭

[unique lily]

makes ||hunter's march|| look like baby mode

[elder ivy]

that ||poison affliction that wont let you heal or store silk is THE WORST||

Satan designed it

[feral bobcat]

Hehe dip toes... Water

[light widget]

It's the || true sinners rode ||

[wintry cedar]

ai want to dieeeee

[elder ivy]

it's worse than Blighttown or Caelid because at least you can HEAL in those games!!!!

[unique lily]

still not as bad as Tomb of the giants 💀

[wintry cedar]

Lilac share my suffering

[unique lily]

god I hate that place

why yes, I love not being able to see

[elder ivy]

I will once I get the ||double jump|| or something like that because I dont see a way to get further without it

(dont tell me if there is a way to get there otherwise though)

[wintry cedar]

Oh yeah you can’t

Ooo

P

[elder ivy]

that's what I figured 😔

[wintry cedar]

Sorry

[elder ivy]

hahah its okay

[unique lily]

dw I'm planning to go back to ||bilewater|| next 💔

[light widget]

I'm so glad that I'm done with that area

[wintry cedar]

I’ll be more careful 🫡

[elder ivy]

i'd appreciate it! ❤️

[wintry cedar]

For future reference I won’t tell you any pathing

I’ll just share my woes

[elder ivy]

sure, yeah

[solar hound]

||sister splinter…||

[elder ivy]

that's pretty much what ry did too...
it's really funny to be in these early game areas and seeing everyone in act2/3 only talking about how much they're suffering.... 😭

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-look-the-other-way-look-away-awkward-weird-gif-17246188

[elder ivy]

ohhh that fight is sooo much fun... but the ||adds make it 20x worse 😭 ||

because those idiots hit for 2 masks too!!!!!!

like come on!!!!!!!!!

[solar hound]

I am being pranked

The runback is also terrible

[elder ivy]

I think it's okay.. there are no enemies on the way at least

it lets you chill for a moment

[solar hound]

Why am I waiting for this dumbass elevator man

True

[elder ivy]

there are some other awful runbacks WITH enemies on the way, that's much worse

[solar hound]

I should be counting my blessings

[elder ivy]

yep haha

[solar hound]

SHE FELL ON ME AND I DIED

[elder ivy]

uhh... next time dont be under her when she falls!!

[boreal isle]

[elder ivy]

[elder ivy]

😭 😭 😭

you're insane (in a good way)

[solar hound]

This fight is actually insane

Am I underpowered for it perhaps

Probably not

[boreal isle]

i am

[elder ivy]

unlikely

[boreal isle]

wait

[solar hound]

I think I need to get good

[boreal isle]

i’m wrong as hell

i need the

full journal

[feral bobcat]

Lmfa

[boreal isle]

the journal is kinda ridiculous in this game

[elder ivy]

I only recently beat the ||cogwork dancers|| in the meanwhile.... lmao

amazing fight though!!!

[boreal isle]

[feral bobcat]

Im laughing as if i dont have like 40 achievements left

[boreal isle]

[elder ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/you-ded-you-dieded-died-dieded-hornet-died-gif-8163515769741623680

[feral bobcat]

Ive 50 too

I should refund

Im washed clearly

[solar hound]

I got so far

[feral bobcat]

I should retire and start playing fortnite or whatever

[feral bobcat]

And tried so hard

[rustic falcon]

wow washed and cooked and maybe next silksong will take you out on a lovely movie date

[elder ivy]

washed... cooked... what else are we?

[feral bobcat]

Movie dates suck ass i want a game date or picnic or make dinner together

[elder ivy]

I agree, movie dates are bad because you dont get to interact with the other person at all

[feral bobcat]

I say as I've never dated anyone and turned down any girl who showed interest in me

[elder ivy]

you just sit in silence and watch the movie

[feral bobcat]

Also its uncomfortable to leave if the situation isnt great

Like how do u tell someone "ok i dont like this im off" in a movie theater

[feral bobcat]

Coaches dont play 🗣️

[unique lily]

All the sins of pharloom's economy have been forgiven because ||I am a proud homeowner now||

[rustic falcon]

you watch the movie!! LMAO

if youre not vibing afterwards just say that and leave

you got to watch a movie either way

[elder ivy]

same!!!!

[feral bobcat]

Real estate , from benches to ||homes||

Tf you mean SAME

whered u find the ||bellhome||

[elder ivy]

you can get it pretty early on!

[austere wadi]

There's a disturbing number of kaizo traps in Silksong.

[feral bobcat]

Also theres a guy in a ||bellhome|| his name starts with y, where is he

[unique lily]

now if only the same could apply to real life 😔

[elder ivy]

uhhh I'm talking about ||the free house people give you in Bellhart||

[austere wadi]

I feel like it's almost the norm instead of the exception. "You get the AC6 slowdown on boss kill? Watch out for the surprise hazards."

[feral bobcat]

He asks for u to bring him something to eat

I swear theres a occupied ||bellhome|| somewhere i just lost it
