6 FEET UNDER

CRUSTY OL BASTARD

fraud already laughs about my struggle with christmas tree and mist do NOT give him more ammo

[elder ivy]

I swear both me and Fraud had the easiest time in the universe with him because we had no contact damage 😭

it must have been a bug then??

[feral bobcat]

yea he is a bug

funniest man award goes to

[unique lily]

aint no way someone is actually struggling on Khann

bro is easy af

[elder ivy]

Fraud, Gio has CONTACT damage with him

[feral bobcat]

[feral bobcat]

THAT I DIED 4 TIMES TO IT

THE HELL

HE DID TWO MASKS TOO

[elder ivy]

gio had it apparently????

[unique lily]

have you tried moving out of the way?

[feral bobcat]

i swear fraud

[elder ivy]

this was a bug apparently 😭

[feral bobcat]

now i have bragging rights over yall cuz of bug abuse

[unique lily]

bruh

[feral bobcat]

should be banned from silksong indefinitely

[elder ivy]

this is so funny 😭

I literally just stood INSIDE him and kept hitting him with the wanderer

it was the easiest thing in the world hahahhahaha

[feral bobcat]

how do u even come up with the strat of standing inside an enemy

everything has contact damage in this game

[dense kindle]

do I really gotta do sinner's road into mist in order to get harpoon

[elder ivy]

I didn't... It just happened accidentally and then I noticed "huh there is no contact damage? okay then!"

[elder ivy]

what do you mean? I guess so??

[unique lily]

guys if you are struggling on a boss I would recommend moving out of the way to avoid damage and attacking to deal damage. Hope this helps 👍

[elder ivy]

I'm going to kill you fraud!!!!!!!

[dense kindle]

fine I was hoping I could just get there through underworks

[unique lily]

how? you can't even kill a video game boss 💀

[elder ivy]

nope it's locked from there 😔

[feral bobcat]

loading screen tips ahh

[elder ivy]

[unique lily]

Roaring knight lowkey harder than any silksong boss

[elder ivy]

I agree, I couldn't beat the Roaring Fraud

[feral bobcat]

you cant even UNDERSTAND how easy ||khan || was but his contact was allthat got me

[dense kindle]

probably not because fraud has like no rng

[dense kindle]

I saw someone first try him yesterday after patch, I think they took like 3 hits total

[unique lily]

I was stuck on that bozo for like 5 hours. No skong boss took me even half that time

[feral bobcat]

i wouldve firstt ried him 0 HITS

were it not for him hugging me constantly

touch deprived bastard

[dense kindle]

I think the cloak boss took me longer lol

[feral bobcat]

crusty ass basement dweller

[elder ivy]

that one is sooo annoying too yeah

John Mantle....

[unique lily]

no rng but insanely punishing and precise fight. plus I'm ass at bullet hells lol

[dense kindle]

can toby fox remove the mantle boss already

I'm tryna replay all secret bosses and this is actually the worst part of the whole thing

[feral bobcat]

is this delta or under

[unique lily]

I like that its unique but god is that guy such a pain 😭

[elder ivy]

no because his aesthetics is pretty cool!! I like the vibes

[feral bobcat]

one of the games is on sale on steam rn

[elder ivy]

deltarune

[feral bobcat]

well shi

i think under is on the sale

like 2 bucks

[elder ivy]

but I recommend playing Undertale first!

[solar hound]

When am I going to get another mask

[elder ivy]

yeah Undertale is the first game you should play

[dense kindle]

bro is harder than the actual secret boss

[dense kindle]

never

[feral bobcat]

im gonna get my last mask soon i thinks

[elder ivy]

there are lots of mask shards you will be finding everywhere

[solar hound]

Sinners road —> bilewater —> the mists is so hilarious

[unique lily]

https://tenor.com/view/eram-deltarune-shadow-mantle-deltarune-secret-boss-lol-gif-11075350009172146036

[dense kindle]

I swear it's so hard to get mask shards until act 3 than you get like 4 chucked at you

[feral bobcat]

smash marry kill type of array

goat goat garbage

i will die on this hill

[elder ivy]

smash the bilewater, kill the sinner's road, marry the mist!

[dense kindle]

oh yeah gio hates mist and deep docks more than everything

[unique lily]

speedrunners would agree with you lol

[dense kindle]

hey I said that too lol

[unique lily]

twins

[solar hound]

I want to LEAVE

I want to GET OUT

[elder ivy]

I swear Gio has like the opposite experience of all of us here 😭

[solar hound]

I get to play silksong for like 1.5 hours a day

[dense kindle]

that's enough to finish the game 🙂

[feral bobcat]

ill accept this on account of bilewater smash

[solar hound]

I do not want to spend one more second of it in this hellscape

[elder ivy]

yeah the game takes like at least 60 hours to finish fully 😔

[feral bobcat]

your marriage will fail and lead to divorce but at least u had a good one night bilewater stand

[elder ivy]

it will not!! I love the mist

[dense kindle]

you want to... one night stand the maggot and swampass zone

[solar hound]

I know and I will

[elder ivy]

what, you'd prefer the roaches???

[solar hound]

But this isn’t feeling very zen game time

[unique lily]

my 100% save file has like 80 hours lol

[feral bobcat]

i may aswell be australian with how upside down i am

[solar hound]

Zen game time zen game time

[elder ivy]

say hi to team cherry!!

[dense kindle]

55 hrs for me but I looked up collectible locations at the end

[feral bobcat]

no im an expert in divorce trust me you will fail

[dense kindle]

tell team cherry to make the dlc harder

[feral bobcat]

im at prob 80 hrs and uhhh 86% completion aint i goated

[feral bobcat]

youll fight two beastflies with one piece of land and the rest is maggots

also that one piece of land has 5 of the sinners road roaches

with deep docks helmets no pogo

[elder ivy]

and deal 3 masks of damage!

[solar hound]

Just realized I missed the joke

[unique lily]

ask team cherry wtf they were thinking making the flea juggle minigame. Most evil thing in the game highkey. Makes bilewater look like a walk in the park

[dense kindle]

... that sounds doable

[dense kindle]

oh hey you got it

[dense kindle]

dawg you haven't even tried to get the guardian memento yet

[solar hound]

I figured you meant over the next week or so lmfao

[dense kindle]

it's so much worse

[solar hound]

Anyway

[dense kindle]

or is that what you're trying to get

[feral bobcat]

bile is a walk in the park A VERY BEAUTIFUL PARK matter of fact the atmosphere is gorgeous and the soundtrack a vibe

[elder ivy]

I tried the juggle game again and I genuinely don't understand how to do it......... what crest do you think is the best for it?

[unique lily]

I am NOT getting that. Its probably just straight up impossible for me

[unique lily]

I did beast crest 🔥

[dense kindle]

fr lol, probably harder than P5 lol

[feral bobcat]

i dont even have all fleas lmao

[dense kindle]

wanderer with longnail

[elder ivy]

that's what I used too..

[unique lily]

bilewater soundtrack is gorgeous I agree

top 5 track in the game

[feral bobcat]

i got 5 fleas left

im such a game

r

[short swift]

fog canyon is genuinely most infuriating area lmao

so far

im lost im broke i keep dying the same jellyfish

[dense kindle]

either hit the jellyfish and get behind thick cover, or just don't touch them

[feral bobcat]

what is that area again

[dense kindle]

hollow knight

[short swift]

wait not jelly

the weird spark things

idk its like

[dense kindle]

oh I see

[feral bobcat]

right

[short swift]

the area denial things idk they pulse with electricity

[dense kindle]

you're doing a parkour section to get something

yeah

uh good luck idk, it's a timing thing

at least the area is small so it's easy to get back?

[short swift]

it was a hallownest seal

so not worth it atm

😭 spent like 30 minutes on it

[dense kindle]

lol

[feral bobcat]

@elder ivy i think im figuring out the "shellwood" boss

[elder ivy]

you're playing the first hollow knight??
is it your first time?

[short swift]

yea lol

[feral bobcat]

not much of a shellwood boss lmao

[elder ivy]

Seth is the real bossfight there hahaha

[short swift]

i found the boss for the fungal area but the guy outside of it told me to find a nail upgrade

[elder ivy]

ohh nice!! enjoy!!

[short swift]

is it in the starting town or is there some area i didnt go to

[elder ivy]

some other area

[short swift]

Huh

[feral bobcat]

why your profile white lilac

darn flashbang

[elder ivy]

specifically the ||City of Tears||, if you want an answer

[short swift]

ohh

[elder ivy]

💔 😔 I'm sorry hahaha

[short swift]

uhh dunno where that is im sure ill find it

tbh?

i dont even mind being lost but sometimes benches are placed quite far

and having to backtrack like 6 times and walk like 4 rooms everytime i die gets a bit grating

but otherwise i like it

[dense kindle]

nyleth was so much freaking harder for me lol

[elder ivy]

you'll get used to it!

but yeah

[short swift]

do embeds work in here

like

[dense kindle]

I just had to get used to never having silk from all the harpooning

[short swift]

the copy link thing

[elder ivy]

yes

[short swift]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1354268701104279712/1416447864082534480/Projector_-_Preview_2025-09-13_10-37-21.mp4?ex=68c6e15f&is=68c58fdf&hm=e7969788ce8e4ea3e967cd377942b6ff65df7a481204d379859b0369f8e3ad71& this felt so genuinely malicious lmao 😭

my bad timing too but

this took me way too long to get the platforming down

[feral bobcat]

goddamn this guy moves a lot

[elder ivy]

wow 💔

[feral bobcat]

ok i understnad why u said hes the real boss

[elder ivy]

hahahaha

yeah

[unique lily]

I just beat the true final boss with beast crest therefore its OP

beast crest haters real quiet rn

[elder ivy]

you were one of them 😭

[unique lily]

I'm a reaper hater now. Worst crest in the game

its so ass

genuinely no reason to run it

at least beast has a niche

[feral bobcat]

get out

[elder ivy]

Reaper has a niche of long range and pleasant pogos!!

[unique lily]

no u

[elder ivy]

I really wanted to try making the shaman crest work but it's so difficult..... I always need silk for healing, I cant be wasting it all the time on spells :(

[unique lily]

but horrendous dps and slow ass moveset. The silk regen is cool until you find out wanderer's fast attack speed literally nets you more silk overall

[elder ivy]

I want to see if any people figured it out

[elder ivy]

team cherry really should make it at least a bit faster..

[unique lily]

I used a full spell build on true final boss and it was pretty nuts yeah

[dense kindle]

I swapped from wanderer to reaper for nyleth because wanderer's stubby pogo kept getting me hit

reaper letting me pogo from in front of the boss was super handy there

[elder ivy]

yeah but can you address my questions!

[unique lily]

I used witch. Its pogo feels really safe to me

[unique lily]

which one?

[dense kindle]

I've beaten final boss with wanderer and hunter so far, I should try some of the others

[elder ivy]

#video-games message

[dense kindle]

don't heal

[elder ivy]

great advice! 😭

[unique lily]

oh unfortunately you do have to get good to make the most out of shaman

[elder ivy]

oh

I dont want to do that...

[elder ivy]

you should've recorded it.... I would love to see it

[dense kindle]

I might do witch next but I kinda suck so I'm worried I won't be able to heal on boss fight

[unique lily]

witch is another similar one where if you can learn to use the heal effectively its really strong

[feral bobcat]

the range on witch tendrils is so bad tho

[unique lily]

I will do that next time

[feral bobcat]

and i cant tell if it always heals 3 or not

[unique lily]

it heals 3 if you hit all 3 hits from the roots

[elder ivy]

Witch + the improved mirror from the second 🎆🎆🎆 TROBBIO 🎆🎆🎆 fight

[unique lily]

yes thats what I used. along with pollip pouch bc that actually applies to the 🎆🎆🎆 TROBBIO 🎆🎆🎆mirror effect so you basically get a nuclear bomb everytime you heal

injector bands is also handy for faster bind

[elder ivy]

no you must always say "trobbio" as 🎆🎆🎆 TROBBIO 🎆🎆🎆 !!!!

[feral bobcat]

i hate how ||seth|| fires the shield offscreen

[elder ivy]

don't run away from him!

keep him on the screen!

[feral bobcat]

big brain strat

also still taking so much contact damage\

[unique lily]

move out of the way cuh

[elder ivy]

1. deal damage to him
2. avoid taking any damage from him !!

@unique lily I'm learning from you

[feral bobcat]

he JUMPS ON ME

[unique lily]

and I learnt from our lord and saviour Zote so I love seeing my master's teachings spread

[unique lily]

my advice still stands

[feral bobcat]

well your advice isnt applicable

[unique lily]

it worked for me

Mothers will always betray you... 😔

Precept Forty-One: 'Learn to Detect Lies'. When others speak, they usually lie. Scrutinise and question them relentlessly until they reveal their deceit.

i killed him but hes ina wall

[elder ivy]

uh oh...

[unique lily]

LMAOOO

[elder ivy]

did you get the Hunter's Journal update?

[feral bobcat]

nope

bastard

[elder ivy]

then you will have to do it again 💔

probably..

[unique lily]

how tf do you always encounter these situations 😭

[feral bobcat]

imma kill him again

hes alive

[unique lily]

bro's game is plotting against him

[elder ivy]

I know right... gio's playthrough seems the most confusing 😭

[unique lily]

at least its entertaining af lol

[feral bobcat]

i nearly got him and i died

[feral bobcat]

im actually a game tester sent to find every bug in this game

[elder ivy]

Precept Fifty-One: 'Nothing is Harmless'. Given the chance, everything in this world will hurt you. Friends, foes, monsters, uneven paths. Be suspicious of them all.

[feral bobcat]

get out

[elder ivy]

I was able to finish the game today, I have nowhere else to go 💔

[dense kindle]

speedrun and steel soul

[elder ivy]

I don't think I can do those...

[feral bobcat]

the hell

how

[elder ivy]

I'm not the type to pursue such huge challenges

[elder ivy]

I kinda skipped a lot of the optional stuff honestly

[feral bobcat]

does the game just end after the 3 bosses

[elder ivy]

there is one more boss and then yes

[feral bobcat]

craws?

[elder ivy]

I haven't done Craws

I was too eager to see the ending 😔

[dense kindle]

craws is kinda annoying if you didn't get enough kills in acts 1 and 2

[feral bobcat]

i died to contact damage

[feral bobcat]

im actually missing quite a few early game journal entries

[elder ivy]

Precept Twenty-One: 'Be Aware of Your Surroundings'. Don't just walk along staring at the ground! You need to look up every so often, to make sure nothing takes you by surprise.

[feral bobcat]

as in never even encountered these things

[feral bobcat]

reinstalling hk and killing zote 50 times in a row

with only compass equipped

[elder ivy]

lmaoooo

🤭

[dense kindle]

I'm surprised zote never showed up in act 3

bro would've solo'd, I suppose

[elder ivy]

Same...

I'm surprised there are no returning characters at all

well besides.. (HUGE SPOILERS, gio dont click) ||the Knight during the ending cutscene||

[dense kindle]

except for ||the knight|| and ||red memory|| characters

yeah

I honestly hope they do some returning characters in the updates lol

[elder ivy]

same!

[elder ivy]

the dlc will introduce " ACT Z "
Z stands for Zote

[dense kindle]

my picks would be like, Cornifer+Iselda, Zote, The Hollow Knight, Quirrel, maybe Grimm

[feral bobcat]

ok hes dead

[feral bobcat]

urghhhhh must not click

[elder ivy]

We have grimm at home: TROBBIO

[feral bobcat]

u guys wot believe what slots i have unexplored in the journal

its so early game

what the hell is this whole screen attack

[dense kindle]

maybe you didn't find a zone yet idk

[feral bobcat]

ok this is much harder than ||khan||

[dense kindle]

which one, the grass one?

[feral bobcat]

||nelyth||

oh no floor

im sure fraud would love this

[elder ivy]

hahahahhaaha

[feral bobcat]

i died to contact damage

whatsnew

ok maybe i need tools for this fight

[elder ivy]

drill time!!!

[feral bobcat]

no lmao

coglfy

[dense kindle]

I got by with just harpoon and reaper I think

[feral bobcat]

whywould i wanna be in this ladys face

[dense kindle]

above all else I hate its freaking bullet hell move

[dense kindle]

you avoid the annoying attacks

[feral bobcat]

i doub tthat

cuz i was pogoing

and got hit

by a lot

[dense kindle]

yeah just don't get hit by those

[feral bobcat]

great advice

[dense kindle]

I think it only does the bullet hell if you're far

the rest are pretty easy imo

[feral bobcat]

true

[dense kindle]

just gotta get ready to harpoon out and in for the fart

[feral bobcat]

ii dont harpoon

[dense kindle]

the fight will be rough without harpoon

crossing the gap is possible but too slow without it I think

[feral bobcat]

also she does the hell even upclose

[dense kindle]

yeah I think that's if you're too far when she queues it up

[feral bobcat]

yea being near her sounds bad

nope

in her face whole time

[dense kindle]

it's how I got my kill, still a tough boss though

[feral bobcat]

being near her is just bad

no being near her is so bad im certain now

[dense kindle]

I couldn't find a way to deal meaningful damage from afar without crutching on tools so that's how I did it

[feral bobcat]

chip damage

being upclose is a death sentenc ei dont see how thats worth it at all

even with her low hp its a bad idea

everything can hit from there

makes it harder to avoid wide attack

harder to avoid the slices

puts u near spikes

just sounds so wrong

[dense kindle]

the spike balls are a free attack
the point blank slashes are an easy dodge
fart cloud is just a simple harpoon
cross gap charge is a few free pogos

bullet hell sucks

[feral bobcat]

theyre easy doddges when ure not upclose

and bullet hell is actually pretty free too

[dense kindle]

I think double jump parachute is enough air time to hover out of range for the slashes

[feral bobcat]

im actually dying more by trying to push in

i should be even more far away

[dense kindle]

I mostly died when pogoing because of wanderer I think, switching to reaper helped a lot

[feral bobcat]

nah being upclose suucks i try to greed barely 2 hits and i get instantly hiut

its just not wise

imma just do this one real slow

[short swift]

finally upgraded the old nail

found an enemy near an entrance that gave 10 geo a pop

so i just rinsed and repeat to get the 260 total

[feral bobcat]

shes dead

and guess what

i played really safely

made it really easy

[dense kindle]

if it works it works I suppose

[feral bobcat]

for sure

maybe reaper helps the aggresive playstyle but i was on wanderer and going in felt dumb

id rather get in 1 hit per each of her attacks but being afar then closing in momentarily

[dense kindle]

reaper let me pogo from in front of it which helped a ton I think

[feral bobcat]

than be all up in her face and hope i damage race

[dense kindle]

being on top of the boss really sucked, especially when she stunned

learning to just crutch on harpoon also helped me, I was too conservative with it initially

[feral bobcat]

the pogo is quite easy onc eu learn it, her hitbox is massive

i dont think i really used harpoon

[dense kindle]

the issue is her hitbox lowers when she gets stunned, and then she gets back up when you're hitting her, so I always got hit by contact damage after the stun ended

very annoying

[feral bobcat]

i think same for dash

any1 know what breaks the cogflies

||ARCHITECT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO||

[dense kindle]

I think they just die after like 4-5 hits? maybe? I've never looked too closely

[feral bobcat]

i wonder if its a cumulus of both the tanked hits and hits dealt

cuz they also die after a couple attacks

[deep hemlock]

just got that bilewater runback

im going to kill something

[dense kindle]

do you have the midway bench

[feral bobcat]

god ||trobbio|| is such a drama queen

[dense kindle]

bro was definitely a theater kid

[short swift]

ccan i like disable spells or smth

[feral bobcat]

yea

wait

holowknight

[short swift]

whenever im trying to dash midair knight keeps using a spell and getting me hit

[feral bobcat]

i dont know

[short swift]

Its actually genuinely making me want to drop the game im not even pressing a

[feral bobcat]

HOW DOES EACH AREA GET MORE BEAUTIFUL

||VERDANIA|| MY BELOVED

[dense kindle]

aren't they totally different buttons

[short swift]

i was being dramatic

but still

i think its bc

dash is a button right next to quick cast

so i just disable quick cast and Knight stopped using the spell LMAO

i wasnt gonna drop the game it just really irritated me bc i knew it wasnt my fault

i won like maybe 4 attempts after i figured that out

[dense kindle]

my complaint is more that cast and heal are the same button

sometimes you want to heal, then want to cancel because an attack is coming, and then the game detects that as a tap of the button

so you fire a fireball and you get hit anyways

[feral bobcat]

omg the ||clover dancers||

so good

[dense kindle]

yup

(ngl I wish the dancers had a smidge more sauce)

[feral bobcat]

i tool spammed them but whatever

they were so cool

[dense kindle]

they're just a bit too slow for my adhd brain, but maybe they'll get a Sisters of Battle upgrade later

[feral bobcat]

maybe

altho something like ||first sinner|| levels of speed would be too much

[dense kindle]

nah I could handle it

[feral bobcat]

with some training yea but

at that point it really is tool spam and hope for dodges

[dense kindle]

I think the bigger, more fair boss fights maybe need to be harder

||cogwork dancers, lace, grandma, first sinner, phantom|| were all really cool, but were all easier than giant beastfly so like

[feral bobcat]

beastfly is easy it just forces the player to understand that if u move a lot like a moron, ull get hit like a moron

||grandma lace phantom dancers|| were pretty easy yeah but ||sinner|| could be challenging
i didnt take too long to defeat her, maybe 3 4 tries i think , but i can see people struggling with her

[dense kindle]

I definitely died more on beastfly than the real final boss lol

[feral bobcat]

especially if u didnt fight ||grandma|| yet, if thats possible

i might have too lmao

but way more to ||twisted bud grandma||

[dense kindle]

have you done the real final boss yet

I thought you were still doing act 3 stuff

[feral bobcat]

im missing 1 flea

just finished all 3 hearts and gotta go to ||shamans||

[dense kindle]

isn't ||twisted bud grandma|| like "just don't get hit"

[feral bobcat]

after that idk whats left

[feral bobcat]

basicaly yea

[dense kindle]

don't need to heal if you don't get hit

[feral bobcat]

ayup

[dense kindle]

it's pretty peak

[feral bobcat]

last flea is behind ||far fields door|| near ||pilgrims rest|| what the hell

[feral bobcat]

ive also got ||craw|| from what ive read here
and ig the 100% as awhole which is needed for the ending
i have like 86%, missing a lot of items

[dense kindle]

you don't need 100% for ending

unless you want the achievement

[feral bobcat]

oh

well then ive 2 ||void masses|| left

going to the ||shamans|| to turn quest in

and uhhh maybe craw

ihope i dont get locked outta anything if i get ending

[dense kindle]

nah it's like hollow knight, that obscure indie game

[feral bobcat]

Oh also i didnt fight||karmelita||

Dont even know where she is

[dense kindle]

she's pretty easy to find

way easier than ||nyleth||

[feral bobcat]

Dont have any idea where she'd be

Without a quest im clueless

I imagine at that ant statue ?

[dense kindle]

ya

[feral bobcat]

I am so smart

how the helll do more people have ||remembrance|| than ||clove dancers|| kill

isnt it needed?

[deep hemlock]

istg nothing better happen to sherma he's the sweetest bug in all of pharloom

[dense kindle]

no lol theres a reason ||clover dancers|| isnt marked on the map

its a secret 4th

[feral bobcat]

oh thats why there was one near far fields

can i still fight it?

i still need that flea behind the door too

hope theyre not tied

[dense kindle]

yeah theres not much content you can miss

[feral bobcat]

well good, maybe one day i get that flea

also still need like 6 memory lockets LMAOOO

[dense kindle]

basically for 100% you need all masks, all tools, all spools, maxed needle, maxed tool pouch I think

you dont need max memory lockets or relics or hunters journal

[feral bobcat]

i also just now got ||Kratts spa||

[feral bobcat]

ik but lockets make the builds so fun

i want ||architect shaman|| for sure

[dense kindle]

make sure to hit him to make it free

[feral bobcat]

for sure

[echo hazel]

I don't know any of those two bosses

no I'm confident EVERYONE here is ahead of me 😭

[feral bobcat]

how

i remmeber u beig really far ahea

oh vacation

[echo hazel]

yeah

i assume both of those are act 3 bosses huh

[feral bobcat]

ye

[dense kindle]

act 3 doesnt exist

[feral bobcat]

well

||remembrance|| isnt a boss

[deep hemlock]

just lost 1k runes 😆

*rosaries

my mind is dying

[feral bobcat]

lmao

tbf1k not too bad

[feral bobcat]

theyre tied lmao

or well

notthatboss

another boss

to the flea

||karm||

[deep hemlock]

i wish there was a way to change ||silkshot|| i just got the one from forge daughter

didn't know about variations

kinda wanted the || laser ray|| one

[feral bobcat]

YO WHY SHE KINDA BAD THO

@unique lily you were so RIGHT

[light widget]

i only googled for that area cause i was missing 1 map 💀

[feral bobcat]

ive been at ||karm|| for over an hour good lord

[light widget]

which one was that?

im bad with names

[feral bobcat]

The one in far fields, ||ant queen||

[light widget]

|| ahh yes that one took me a bit aswell the other 2 were a breeze 💀 ||

[feral bobcat]

I mean 1 hour tgi

Yho

Still not done eithe

[feral bobcat]

barely getting 2 pahses

[feral bobcat]

Her one attack keeps throwing me off everytine

[light widget]

ohh i c you found your 5 hour gauntlet

[feral bobcat]

cheeky bastard

[light widget]

https://tenor.com/view/black-and-white-raccoon-hehehe-hahaha-gif-4252892434233422607

[feral bobcat]

i just dunno what tool to use against her

[light widget]

i either used buzz or spikes i believe 🤔

[feral bobcat]

hardest boss so far genuinely

what the hell

3hours in

dude i cant with this attack

im pulling out everything man, reserve bind, spikes, wanderer

i cant deal with that attack

||architect|| tool spam doesnt do enough damage

||witch|| heal is too inconsistent

hunter reaper too slow

[echo hazel]

hunter is never too slow

i haven't tapped a single one of those spoilers but i will NOT ignore hunter slander

[light widget]

played act 3 only on ||wanderer||

[feral bobcat]

when youre guaranteed to take damage, it is too slow

this spikewall attack is so infuriating

no i actually dont understand what im meant to do

[light widget]

||the big or small one ||

[feral bobcat]

small

with a sinusoidal shape

bell shape

[light widget]

you can either pogo or jump over it no? i jumped over it and pogo'ed on her

[feral bobcat]

combo'd into other attacks it makes it impossible to dodge or do dmg

u can jump yea but then she'll do another attack and ure screwed

cuz ur jump is spent

[light widget]

thats why i pogo on her face

[feral bobcat]

silk is precious for heals so harpon feels like a waste

also she blocks so pogo does nothing

DUDE

SO CLOSE

CMON

out of the 800mins of playtime today, i think i reached her at 500-600

this is so disgusting

that attack is the death of me

DUDE

DUDE

I CANT

i quit for today

im done

not only does it eat up half the map it also does the buzz attack in the air and hits me from across the map

[deep hemlock]

Please don’t hesitate to use the harpoon to attack- when u do, the harpoon replenishes the silk if u land the hit

Ngl this month so stacked i forgor final fantasy tactics releasing on sep 30

[feral bobcat]

I know

Learnt from ||mt fay||

But whatever I'm done for today

[deep hemlock]

Fair

[feral bobcat]

I cant with this boss

Her hitbox is egregious

Covers the entire map

Cant be Pogo'd

[deep hemlock]

Ngl i rage quit the game like 30 min and then reopen it like 2 min later

[feral bobcat]

Im p sure her projectiles have some slight homing aswell

Im sure i was like 5 hits away from the win and Nooooo she hits that bs whirl attack from halfway across the map

2 masks gone right there

As im stuck in the air with no mobility

Lovely

[deep hemlock]

Annoying af ngl

[feral bobcat]

Cant wait to put a pin in her face

[deep hemlock]

I hate how the flying enemies all dodge

[feral bobcat]

Nah im just done

I dont wanna do this boss after the act 3 ending

So either i beat her or i quit the game

And after i have beaten her ill finish the act 3 quest

[weary skiff]

Beast Crest is arse. Who thought it was a good idea to give it such a bad pogo?

Not worth the pain of that boss

[toxic crater]

Potential spoiler if I’m right: I suspect that it’s a bad idea overall (or even in relation to the ending, which I’m still nowhere near) to ||break the little statuette of yourself for shards||. Am I right?

[elder ivy]

It doesn't matter as far as I know
the only bad consequence is your own self consciousness feeling bad for doing such a thing 💔

it's such a cute little gift after all!!

[toxic crater]

It is! Not that I need to at this point. I’m usually glutted with ||shards||.

I think ||Trobbio|| is the most fun boss so far. Enjoyed every try, and the runback wasn’t bad.

[elder ivy]

It's pretty great yeah!!!!

[wild acorn]

||trobbio|| was a really fun fight, probably top 3 imo. i'd say ||cogwork dancers|| and ||first sinner|| are the top 2

[elder ivy]

Have you beaten act 3 yet?

Because there are some great fights there too!!

[wild acorn]

i'm at the very end of act 3, i have ||everbloom|| but i haven't gone back down

[elder ivy]

Nice!

[wild acorn]

but i agree, a lot of fun bosses in there. especially ||green prince||

[elder ivy]

I kinda hate that one 😭
The Arena is so small and claustrophobic to me, feels very hard to dodge attacks

[wild acorn]

really? it's literally my favorite boss in the entire game

[elder ivy]

yeah I loved the ||cogwork dancers|| but the ||clover dancers|| is much much harder.... only being able to hit ||one of them sucks... the arena is smaller and it felt much much harder to dodge the attacks... I don't know I struggled sooo much...||

[wild acorn]

personally i'm waiting for the pharloom pantheon so i can replay them over and over again

[valid ridge]

Is there a known issue with the mini boss on || the bile pit? I’m fighting the fat enemy who sends out the word things and she like. Left the screen and just. Isn’t coming back? Combat music is still going and the doors are locked lol. I guess I just quit? ||

[elder ivy]

||the chef lugoli?||

[valid ridge]

Yea I think so

[elder ivy]

both me and Fraud also had that bug happen!!

[valid ridge]

lol cool

[elder ivy]

unfortunatley you have to quit out and replay the fight

it could be a bug that has something to do with tool usage perhaps

did you use tools in that fight?

[dense kindle]

yep

[elder ivy]

it's not in Bilewater though

it's in the Sinner's road technically

[valid ridge]

Shoot my bad

Luckily not too bad a fight

[elder ivy]

I really didn't like it at all

[dense kindle]

It was ok

Having maggots as the punishment is kind of an interesting brutality

The boss is hell if you're at the wall, and normal if you stay centered

[valid ridge]

This quest to get the || rasher to the chef without using any fast travel is gonna suck ||

[elder ivy]

do you want a hint?

[valid ridge]

Sure.

I’m just gonna run it and clear every single enemy

[elder ivy]

there is a relatively easy way to do it!
go through the Exhaust Organ instead of the Blasted Steps

[valid ridge]

And not rest

[elder ivy]

it's not worth it, there are barely any enemies in the way, it will just waste your time

I tried it and it was pointless lol..

[valid ridge]

Idk what the exhaust organ is lol

[elder ivy]

OH

uhhhh

have you found the Mist?

[valid ridge]

Nope

[elder ivy]

uhhh

go through Bile water then

I recommend you first explore the Bilewater completely (as much as you can for now) and do all that stuff

at the end of it all there will be a much much shorter alternate path to the Citadel

[dense kindle]

Use anklets, I just did normal route

shellwood, blasted steps, citadel, hotsprings, win

[elder ivy]

the normal route is way way way harder in my opinion... also anklets is a trap!! because you will accidentally run into walls with them and will damage the rashes

[dense kindle]

just dont do that

[elder ivy]

the other route is like WAY easier, there are like barely any enemies on the way there

[dense kindle]

hopefully you have all movement abilities if you didnt do mt fay itll be annoying

[elder ivy]

why are you recommending the harder path 😭

it's genuinely not worth it

[dense kindle]

idk it was like 2nd try for me

[elder ivy]

well sure you might be really good at the game then.. but like... the alternate path is still way way easier

[dense kindle]

Especially since all hazards only do 1 damage now

[unique lily]

fun fact: cogwork dancers don't have a shared health pool so the best play is to only target one of them otherwise you're wasting time

[dense kindle]

yeah I realized that as well on my second playthrough

[elder ivy]

oh really? it seems extremely hard to keep track of them though..

[dense kindle]

when they do the middle attack how do you know which is which

[unique lily]

speedrunners have to do it. Its not as hard as it seems

[elder ivy]

do they look slightly different?

[unique lily]

they always go back to where they were before doing the attack

[dense kindle]

ah

[unique lily]

y'all should watch the any% speedrun, its really sick

[elder ivy]

The one done by blueSR?

[unique lily]

yeah he explains the route very well

[elder ivy]

Dyno...

[valid ridge]

Alright did it on like 4th try

Normal route

[light widget]

lilac spreading fake news, blasted steps is easy || if you had to run that route 10000times because of the judge ||

[dense kindle]

||double jump|| means you avoid every enemy there except for one of those slow statue guys

[light widget]

just ||harpoon|| over them, thats what i did

[elder ivy]

I don't know, I tried the normal route twice and couldn't do it
then I tried the alternate route and that one was sooo much easier I think I did it first try

like even if y'all are extremely good at the game and can do the blasted steps route, the exhaust organ route is still much much faster and easier

there are fewer enemies and less running

[light widget]

if you go through the upper exit of belheart you have barely any real enemys aswell, the only hard enemys you encounter are the 3-4 rooms on the grand bellway

[elder ivy]

the humble blasted steps conchfly:

[light widget]

you only encounter 1 tho

and from that one you can run

[elder ivy]

whatever!!

y'all continue to be crazy

[light widget]

i despise maggot water that much, im not crazy its just ptsd

im not going near that with my || fragile package ||

[elder ivy]

you don't need to go nowhere near the maggot water

there is an entrance to the exhaust organ through the sinner's road on the left

[light widget]

but isnt there maggot water on the bottom of that entrance || i mean before you even enter it, if you mean the "normal entrance of "the mists" ||

[elder ivy]

||https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/360122575533113366/1416820936321011924/image.png?ex=68c83cd2&is=68c6eb52&hm=25576caa19e08b497553fa154e4e4849a27e9bdfecc842f73924278d7d4b1329&||

if you're talking about that tiny bit of maggot water, you can just harpoon over it easily

[light widget]

well fair, but i just harpoon over the enemys in grand steps instead ill take flesh eating worms óver maggots any day

[elder ivy]

fine fine..

[light widget]

how far are you btw in act 3, or are you done

[elder ivy]

I am done!!

finished it yesterday

[light widget]

uhhhh nice how did you like ||the last boss / ending cutscenes||

100% too right ?

[elder ivy]

IT WAS ABSOLUTE CINEMA!!!! I LOVED IT!!!
||though I wish the fight was easier 😭 it took me like 3 hours||

everything about it was soooo amazing

[elder ivy]

no... I had like 90% or something..

[light widget]

do 100% i beseech you !

[elder ivy]

noooooo I am too exhausted

[light widget]

but there is more 👀

[elder ivy]

I need like a break for a week or something I burnt myself out so much

[elder ivy]

I already looked a lot of things up 😔

[light widget]

well i had like i think 87% after ending act 3 💀 so i did aswell

[elder ivy]

I got sooo burnt out at the end there.... very very exhausting

[light widget]

and i searched like 3 hours for my last fragments and stopped after not finding it, then booted up after a break and found it in 2 min 💀

[elder ivy]

I was like barely breathing during that last fight so when I finished it I was like gasping for air 😭

[light widget]

lilac not breathing and eatin, is that how you achieve 10 min godhood

[elder ivy]

lmaoooo 😭

yeah sure

[elder ivy]

Precept Forty-Four: 'You Can Not Breathe Water'. Water is refreshing, but if you try to breathe it you are in for a nasty shock.

[light widget]

i had thought about doing steel soul, but i think i wont i will prob perma die at the first boss 💀

[elder ivy]

Precept Thirty-Nine: 'Eat Quickly and Drink Slowly'. Your body is a delicate thing and you must fuel it with great deliberation. Food must go in as fast as possible, but fluids at a slower rate

I am just following Zote's precepts!!

Precept Fifteen: 'One Foe, One Blow'. You should only use a single blow to defeat an enemy. Any more is a waste. Also, by counting your blows as you fight, you'll know how many foes you've defeated.

this one is very good too!

[light widget]

feedback channel is gonna get exchanged to lilacs-state-church 🙏🏻

[elder ivy]

you know, I won't mind people bringing me gifts and offerings!!!

and in return I will bless you with my sacred knowledge 🙏

[light widget]

🎁 there you go

[elder ivy]

gift me elden ring nightreign on steam 🤭

[light widget]

my car is leaking so i think i wont

[elder ivy]

just tape it

(I don't have a car, I know nothing about cars)

[hybrid jetty]

I think if anything will end my eventual steel soul attempts, it'll be the damn double damage platforming hazards

[light widget]

cause you taped it

[elder ivy]

they're gone now!

platforming hazards now do only 1 damage

[hybrid jetty]

oh really when did that happen
must have been after i got through blasted sands lol

[light widget]

well but can you still get pushed from 1 trap into another and you get 2 dmg anyway 💀

[elder ivy]

2 days ago or something haha

[elder ivy]

Precept Seventeen: 'Believe In Your Strength'. Others may doubt you, but there's someone you can always trust. Yourself. Make sure to believe in your own strength, and you will never falter.

[light widget]

POV on me: *believing in my strenght snapping my leg muscles and breaking both legs *

[elder ivy]

that's wrong, you are not allowed to do that, according to Zote

Precept Nineteen: 'If You Try, Succeed'. If you're going to attempt something, make sure you achieve it. If you do not succeed, then you have actually failed! Avoid this at all costs.

[light widget]

ok ill remember that in 1 hour when im at the gym

[dense kindle]

chat is silksong good

[hybrid jetty]

its pretty good

if you liked hollow knight and wish it was a bit harder you'll enjoy it
if you didn't like hollow knight you won't

[elder ivy]

11/10 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! one of the best games in the world right now in my humble opinion

genuinely it feels as perfect as a game can realistically be

one of the very few games where I genuinely have no big criticism at all... (maybe having an easy mode would be a nice thing though)

[white lotus]

What was your judgement on HK?

[dense kindle]

it was good and cheap

[white lotus]

Well silksong stands to hollow knight like Hades 2 stands to Hades 1.

[dense kindle]

yeah silksong was good and cheap as well

[white lotus]

Ah sorry I thought you were literally asking 🤣

[dense kindle]

wait my god the soundtrack is 2.5 gigabytes

nevermind 6/10

[white lotus]

Lol, the jokes are endless

[solar hound]

Sherma is OP

What do you mean I’m in a battle for my very survival every time I step off a bench and he’s just… there

[dense kindle]

how tf did sherma make it all the way up here

you're really telling me that sherma made it past ||deep docks, far fields, greymoor, shellwood, and also blasted steps||????
Without a weapon
I think he might be a better player than me

[white lotus]

Stupid question... Did they nerf the last boss?

[dense kindle]

Don't think so but maybe a stealth nerf?

I didn't beat them before patch so can't compare

[solar hound]

Faridomasimanet

🔔

[deep hemlock]

ngl i still don't know why the fatass chef deals 2 mask damage

throwing it back genuniely that lethal?

[dense kindle]

bro is just that thick

[boreal isle]

@feral bobcat did you finisht eh game

[dense kindle]

alright I'm about 1 hour into my speedrunish save, just got the lute

(the actual speedrun does this in half the time)

[solar hound]

Being alive is so difficult

In silksong primarily but also in life

[austere wadi]

I've died way more in Silksong than I have in real life.

[solar hound]

Waking up is about as difficult as no-hitting the last judge

It actually takes me longer to wake up in the morning than it did to beat the last judge

[dense kindle]

oh that's not too bad I think

[hexed kindle]

in the first hour of silksong, i died 17 times more than irl

[dense kindle]

waking up is as hard as no hitting giant beastfly

[solar hound]

Yes ok you’re very skilled suace face

Oh so true

[hexed kindle]

okay not literally first hour cause i think that's not enough to reach the first boss

[dense kindle]

are we talking about moss mother or bell beast here

[hexed kindle]

i was talking about the guy that jumps and idr his name

its a guy that jumps and hes near that thief you rescue

[dense kindle]

oh the big ant

yeah that guy sucks, I think he's meant to be a powerup check

I know you can do it with parries but it's so much easier if you just wait a smidge

[austere wadi]

I got rolled by the Skarrgard (I think that's his name, I know the red ants are Skarr-something) until I came back with Sprint.

[dense kindle]

yeah, same experience for me

and even then he still walloped me a few times

[austere wadi]

Gotta get used to the new tech.

Also Silksong spams the hell out of 2 mask enemies very early in the game.

[dense kindle]

hm yeah

though Skarrguard I think is meant to be the equivalent to the crossroads big dude, which also did 2 damage

[austere wadi]

Hunter's March isn't necessary, though, right?

[dense kindle]

actually yeah thinking about it it's completely optional for true ending

[austere wadi]

You get the City Crest from the False Knight, which while also not technically necessary is going to be the most popular route through the game.

[dense kindle]

???

[austere wadi]

I swear I remember some HK routes that don't require the City Crest to advance.

[dense kindle]

yeah I think so

I was talking about hunter's march though

[unique lily]

any% doesn't use city crest yeah

you shade skip to blue lake and get to city from resting grounds

man I'm actually having so much fun with hunter and beast crests on my second run

now that I'm actually good at the game and know the enemy and boss movesets, I can experiment more with these crests and they're a blast so far

beast goes crazy in bosses and gauntlets

[elder ivy]

you think it's actually even better than the wanderer in terms of damage?

[deep hemlock]

ugh i do wish needle strike was better ngl

[dense kindle]

weird that it doesn't give silk I think

[deep hemlock]

i think beast is unironically the strongest dps wise

[deep hemlock]

yeah nail arts was pretty underutilized and they just kinda made it worse?
but i can't complain too much the crests really do add so much

[dense kindle]

each crest getting a needle art is neat

[deep hemlock]

ngl if u can learn to use beast, u can kill anything ridiculously fast, either artificer or beast

[dense kindle]

I barely used mine because I was on Wanderer LMAO

[deep hemlock]

same lmao the small consecutive stabs just looked really funny

[dense kindle]

I think needle arts might suit Silksong a bit better than Hollow Knight because you generally have lower uptime in Silksong

[deep hemlock]

like hornet was an angry italian pointing her fork lmao

[dense kindle]

If you're gonna spend a second or two dodging, why not charge up a bigger hit for your openings

[deep hemlock]

aye that's fair

ngl tho clawline is peak

like against 75% of the bosses it's so good

[dense kindle]

the harpoon?

[deep hemlock]

couldn't make it work against raging conchfly ick

[dense kindle]

yeah it's pretty cool

[deep hemlock]

yes

[dense kindle]

found it vital on Nyleth, useful for airstalling

[deep hemlock]

if u give me a grappling hook in a game im gonna use the grappling hookl

[dense kindle]

it costs silk which makes me want to not use it

[deep hemlock]

fair, but if u hit, it's a net zero cost

[dense kindle]

yeah

[deep hemlock]

and i find getting close to ur enemy is so good

[dense kindle]

I just played pretty safe, jousting style

[deep hemlock]

hornet really can just wail on these mfs

[dense kindle]

they do their attack, I dodge, I get a single hit in, or maybe 2

[deep hemlock]

prob for the best lmao

[hearty yarrow]

Finished 100% in 60h not bad

[deep hemlock]

i do die cuz of overextending but it just feels so good

[hearty yarrow]

But I did way more than the % needed lol

[deep hemlock]

im 40ish hours still in act 2 💀

real fun tho

ong they need to drop bossrush mode

i need to put 100 hours all style all bosses ong

please

[deep hemlock]

bruh i love the quest system ngl

[dense kindle]

you got guardian memento???

damn that's wild

[hearty yarrow]

I looked up mementos

[deep hemlock]

it's so peak to see hornet really do her best to bring hope back to pharloom

[hearty yarrow]

Cause I wasnt gonna find em all

Either asked others and looked up guardian one

[deep hemlock]

i absolutely despise the mf higher ups istg im ready to kill em

[hearty yarrow]

Very collaborative experience this game for me lol

[unique lily]

It might be but I dont have the numbers to back it up

[dense kindle]

I mean I looked em up, doing guardian memento itself is hard enough lol

[deep hemlock]

mf last judge fraud ass spawncamping desperate pilgrims

[hearty yarrow]

It seemed hard but I ended up doing it pretty fast

[deep hemlock]

and then they get dropped into the equivalent of bug sweatshop factory

pale king really was mr.generosity huh

[unique lily]

They nerfed the last judge runback so hard lol

[deep hemlock]

my bad ill never slander him again

[deep hemlock]

hitler dead thank god

[dense kindle]

they nerfed parkour in general I think

[hearty yarrow]

What did they even change about it

[dense kindle]

worms, gears, thwomps all deal 1 damage now instead of 2, I'm pretty sure

[deep hemlock]

i don't think reducing 2 mask damage to 1 for parkour is bad ngl

[hearty yarrow]

Oh ye

Last judge runback was fast anyway

[unique lily]

hazards do only 1 damage and they removed a bunch of the conchfly enemies on the way

[deep hemlock]

it's just really frustrating to do a runback and die halfway

[dense kindle]

yeah, especially since spikes and thorns still keep existing in late game, which only does 1

[deep hemlock]

plz stop saying how bad i am

[dense kindle]

I think they specifically removed 1 conchfly

more importantly, imo, they doubled the money you get from relics

[deep hemlock]

plus mount fay i feel like is the highest damage should go

oh damn

[unique lily]

now they just need to add a second bench in bilewater and the game is perfect

[deep hemlock]

pharloom economy really needed god to step in and save it lmao

[dense kindle]

it already has 2 🙂

1 at the bottom, 1 halfway up

[deep hemlock]

and give us the ability to kill mort and grindle the pricks

[dense kindle]

and you even get a third at the top!

sherma be sleepin

[unique lily]

btw wtf did they do to sister splinter? I literally beat her hitless on my first try in my second run

just some damage nerfs I'm pretty sure

ik they changed it but I couldn't notice any other differences

[deep hemlock]

the runback really is not that bad if u don't stop and try to fight em all like a dumbass thanks

maybe they slowed down the slam animation a bit?

[deep hemlock]

double damage became single i believe and vines easier to break

[hearty yarrow]

Ye I aint fighting em I am dark souls running past em

[deep hemlock]

unnecessary

[dense kindle]

slam still does 2, as does contact damage

[deep hemlock]

ah mb

[dense kindle]

Moorwing projectiles got nerfed to only do 1, that's the only change I noticed

[deep hemlock]

favorite red tools?

[dense kindle]

cogflies are broken

[hearty yarrow]

Anything with poison

[unique lily]

I hope they dont keep nerfing bosses bc it will kinda take away from the long term enjoyment of this game

[deep hemlock]

is contact damage still 2?

[dense kindle]

yeah

[deep hemlock]

yeah ngl the difficulty does kinda grow on ya

and the three mask heals do make sense

[hearty yarrow]

Eh it's gonna be fine I think as long as nerfs are within reason

[dense kindle]

I think bosses are the easy(er) part of the game tbh. The money problems, and distance between benches are more strenuous

also some of these encounter designs are like wtf bro

[deep hemlock]

but istg that chef must have been doing something nasty to get double damage

[deep hemlock]

the money problems make hornet really relatable ngl
and pharloom is my city where public transportation kinda sucks

bravo team cherry

[hearty yarrow]

Smth smth capitalism

[dense kindle]

great storytelling, Team Cherry. Screw you still, though

Paying for like half the benches and almost every station is just mean

[unique lily]

my second playthrough is so satisfying bc I'm just shmoving through everything and first trying all bosses and and gauntlets instead of dying every 5 seconds like I did in my first run

[hearty yarrow]

I mean what the game misses is dreamgate

[deep hemlock]

The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for Pharloom

[hearty yarrow]

Also religion

[dense kindle]

it's got it
(in act 3)

[hearty yarrow]

No it doesnt

[unique lily]

the act 3 beastling call kinda acts like it

[deep hemlock]

absolutely but honestly it really does make me pumped to kill every mf citadel leader

[hearty yarrow]

Dreamgate you set somewhere

The act 3 variant here doesnt do this

[deep hemlock]

maybe we'll get something like that in dlc?

but seriously, boss rush mode already

[unique lily]

I always had mine set at stag stations 💀

[dense kindle]

fr I'm shocked it's not base

[hearty yarrow]

Hk bossrush was its final dlc

So I give silksong bossrush about seven more years

Or it gets modded in

[deep hemlock]

that was the really fun part of hk too, just knowing where everything was and the mechanics made it feel like u mastered a part of the game

[unique lily]

I need godhome dlc now so I can fight Karmelita 2198473468 times

[dense kindle]

just make it a small part of the whole thing if you still wanna do the pantheons and lore stuff, I just want to rematch some bosses

[hearty yarrow]

First sinner tho

[dense kindle]

literally just have the Hall of Gods that'd be enough for me

[deep hemlock]

exactlyy i have like 7 upgrades and i wanna curbstomp moorwing

who's the one with the annoying saws and double damage now bastard huh?

[unique lily]

first sinner, Karmelita, and true final boss are my definitive top 3

[hearty yarrow]

I dont like the true final boss

[deep hemlock]

gotta admit i really liked the gourmet side quest

[unique lily]

I love her

[hearty yarrow]

For the same reason i dont like pure vessel

[dense kindle]

true final boss is really good

[hearty yarrow]

Black/white attacks on black/white backgrounds are unreadable to me

And I dont like it

[unique lily]

we can't be friends then 😔

[deep hemlock]

u don't like pure vessel????

[dense kindle]

I like sword duels better than big boys

[deep hemlock]

he's the GOAT the GOAT

[hearty yarrow]

It's a personal thing ye I just can't read the attacks instinctively

[deep hemlock]

genuinely peak lore design and gameplay wise

[austere wadi]

Good.

[hearty yarrow]

Forces me to focus

[unique lily]

I love how many sword duel type bosses are in this game and they are all bangers

[hearty yarrow]

And I have

Really bad adhd lol

[deep hemlock]

valid

[dense kindle]

are we sure this isn't dark souls 2

[hearty yarrow]

Like forced focus tires me within half an hour lmao

I wanna play things on intuition and instinct

[unique lily]

no bc this game has actual fun bossfights

[dense kindle]

I guess dark souls 2 has you fight too many mobs with swords, not bosses with swords

[deep hemlock]

i just really liked how much they showed the fall from grace, the infected eyes, the reduced damage, the screeching, the lack of spells between the hk and the pure vessel

[hearty yarrow]

Ye

[dense kindle]

Pure Vessel shoulda kept the armor on

[deep hemlock]

ds2 mfs when u ask them to name one positive thing that isn't majula for the fiftieth time

[unique lily]

ON GOD

[deep hemlock]

they should have let it hang

[hearty yarrow]

Ye pv is good in theory it's just I have a hard time personally to read his attacks in the scheme of colors they went with and it annoys the hell outta me lol

[deep hemlock]

yeah nah it's all good there's always that one boss that everyone likes but u don't

[unique lily]

I love the Seth fight too

[hearty yarrow]

Ds2 enjoyers when I simply let them be and do not play their game

[deep hemlock]

i have played 10 min of ds2, so i am an expert and can slander it fr fr

[dense kindle]

they went so hard on making a community character

[hearty yarrow]

I have it platinum on my first char and never played it again

Lol

[dense kindle]

it's very sweet

[hearty yarrow]

Nyleth fight also fun

[deep hemlock]

ngl i understand why it took 7 years it to come out, it's just so beautiful

[unique lily]

I recently learned about the story behind the character and I wanted to cry
