[ocean iris]

the WHAT

[unique lily]

final boss

not saying ||Grand Mother Silk|| every time

[ocean iris]

BAH

lmao

[echo hazel]

has gilf become the official community name for her 😭

[unique lily]

hopefully 🙏

she bad asl

[elder ivy]

omg blue got a new WR !!!! @unique lily

1:03:41 !!!!!

[unique lily]

omg that's insane!

I remember a week ago he was saying 1:05 was probably his limit

[elder ivy]

wow

[unique lily]

looks like we'll get sub hour within a month at this rate. I thought it would take like a year lol

[elder ivy]

!!!

[echo hazel]

what's the current hk world record

[light widget]

any% is 30 min 49 sec

[unique lily]

yet another sub 10 second groal kill. God I love architect's crest

[feral bobcat]

HUGE GILF WIN

[unique lily]

Conch cutter might be even better than boomerangs for him

[feral bobcat]

About 3 or 4 hits with 7 hearts which is what i had iirc

[unique lily]

ye I also had 7

[feral bobcat]

3 if u get grabbed 4 if skewered etc

[unique lily]

I also learned you can remove the spike platforms by hitting them twice

[feral bobcat]

The grasshopper any%

[unique lily]

it used to be bees at one point lol

[feral bobcat]

YOU UNDERSTAND

[short swift]

got coiled nail

hopefully the watchers should be marginally easier

[echo hazel]

there's a secret that lets you instantly kill one of them, if you need all the help you can get

[feral bobcat]

He knows i think

Mentiond before

[echo hazel]

ahh cool

[unique lily]

resisting the urge to say "just spam ddark lmao" when someone is struggling with HK is so hard

[echo hazel]

i usually got shade soul and dream nail before fighting them, put on shaman stone and went to town

[unique lily]

for me its "just spam ddark" for HK and "just use cogflies" for silksong lol

[echo hazel]

is architect crest just infinite tool spam

how much silk do you need to use a tool

[unique lily]

as much silk as you need for a heal. it uses shell shards to refill all your tools immediately

[echo hazel]

oh

oh that's kinda strong

[unique lily]

although in this case, I didn't even need to craft bind to kill groal

just the fact that you have 3 red tool slots is already super strong

architect also has by far the strongest needle art in the game so it benefits a lot from the pinstress badge as well

you can do the coloseum strat in most gauntlets where you charge the nail art and spawn kill most enemies

[feral bobcat]

Archi craft doesnt heal tho right

Like at all

[echo hazel]

how much damage does architect needle art do

[feral bobcat]

Ive never used the craft in a fight

[echo hazel]

maybe I'll take the architect pill for my second playthrough

[unique lily]

you can still used regular bind too

[feral bobcat]

Ik

But thats the issue

I always want to use binds

And i rarely have enough silk for more than that

Thats just how my playstyles has been so far

[unique lily]

also you can use lifeblood OD to take care of the heal situation so you can only use your silk for craft bind

[feral bobcat]

Do a ton of dmg and if i was stupid enough to get hit then heal up real quick with double heal

[weary skiff]

I understand why I-Frame abilities aren't a thing in skong

Too much Descending Dive use

[feral bobcat]

Ye but i aint walkin back to that loser

Actually I need to walk back once to kill that boss

[unique lily]

I mean the parry still works as a good enough panic button for me

[feral bobcat]

Ok so ive 3 bosses left

[echo hazel]

team cherry in the meeting be like "maybe having both ddark and shade dash was too much"

[feral bobcat]

Parry is insane

[weary skiff]

Parries are kinda intended in Skong tho

Unlike HK where no one understands how it works

[feral bobcat]

Someone does

[unique lily]

no I mean the parry silk skill. though regular parries are also very good in skong

[weary skiff]

Also it really helps that in Silksong you can parry projectiles

Unlike in HK where projectiles are all just some sort of "energy" attack

[weary skiff]

don't have it

[feral bobcat]

Saved me from raging in deep docks even more

[weary skiff]

my ass still in act 1

Blasted Steps tho

I wanna do the optional boss before the real one

[feral bobcat]

Blasted steps is pretty fun

[unique lily]

those ant guys in hunters march became a lot less threatening when I learned that I could slap their projectiles out of the way

[dense kindle]

blasted steps is initially stressful

[unique lily]

especially now that they nerfed the double damage hazards

[dense kindle]

the only one I still find scary is the flying spear guys

[feral bobcat]

The tall guys became a joke after i just parried their 3 attack sequence perfectly

[weary skiff]

Also, I haven't gotten to the last act 1 boss yet, but they use lava attacks right?

[unique lily]

yes

[dense kindle]

yea

[weary skiff]

Magma bell time

[weary skiff]

hunter or wanderer crest?

[feral bobcat]

Wanderer

Fast attack speed

[weary skiff]

Yeah that one

Don't like it much

[feral bobcat]

Lets me parry those guys like theyre a joke

Tbf i have it buffed

[weary skiff]

Tho it does seem to be THE parry crest

[feral bobcat]

If other crests got such buffs like wanderer the balance would be a lot more close

Like imagine reaper with an attack speed charm

[weary skiff]

Huh

wanderer had a buff?

[dense kindle]

what buffs

isn't hunter the only one that changes

[weary skiff]

Ik hunter can evolve

but the rest?

[dense kindle]

also I think I can't earn the hunter's journal memento

I think I softlocked myself out of the rhinogrund

[weary skiff]

cya guys

imma go skong it

public beta is out and curve claw got fixed

[dense kindle]

what's the beta version

[weary skiff]

enemies can't destroy curveclaws now

[dense kindle]

I might be on it

[echo hazel]

wait do you need the second entry of every enemy?

[dense kindle]

yeah

[weary skiff]

No idea what that is but how did you get softlocked from maxing your journal entries?

[echo hazel]

oh that's
wow

[dense kindle]

not for 100%, just a collectible

[fathom juniper]

GUYS! GUYS!

[echo hazel]

ah, the achievement doesn't need it, cool

[fathom juniper]

sorry to interrupt your skongposting, but...

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/361885089824505858/1417559185872392233/ayNzKKq_700bwp.webp?ex=68caec5e&is=68c99ade&hm=47493d05b923579242285e5fc411620aec529fb276ef1a38affbaae80e46d48a&

it's real

[dense kindle]

hunter journal achievement needs it

[fathom juniper]

i checked myself

[dense kindle]

old news

that was like 2 days ago

[weary skiff]

Blah blah Randy is an utter idiot

[echo hazel]

haha bro got ragebaited

[weary skiff]

• IT'S UNREAL ENGINE 5

they didn't code an entire engine they just failed to use one provided by epic

[dense kindle]

Randy being randy after 10+ years is still very funny to me

[austere wadi]

Does Fox Engine belong to Kojima or Konami?

[fathom juniper]

konami

[austere wadi]

Damn.

[dense kindle]

doesn't deathstranding use the horizon engine now

[fathom juniper]

10 years?
dude i could point those distinct gearbox-ims in their first game from all the way back from 1999

[echo hazel]

decima?

[fathom juniper]

ye

ds1 and 2

anyways - i just wanted to share this here so i could easily dig it up later if need be

carry on

[dense kindle]

idk what he said back in the opposing force days

[fathom juniper]

didn't say much, but it's the game itself

[feral bobcat]

Long claw

[unique lily]

damn bilewater lowkey chill now. Didn't die a single time on this run. Just knowing about the maggot immunity helps so much

the music is so nice too

[dense kindle]

bilewater does have some nice music

[fathom juniper]

from painfully unfunny "humor", the whole "turn on a gerbox and turn on a valve" puzzle to even the last boss doing the romero thing and speaking backwards
only this time it was crap

[dense kindle]

I miss my quickslash

[fathom juniper]

i could go on and on

[unique lily]

kid named wanderer's crest:

[fathom juniper]

i used to like opfor, but in the recent years i came to realize gearbox has always been like that

[dense kindle]

I need it to be even faster

faster faster faster faster faster faster

[unique lily]

hunter, architect, and witch are the goat crests and I will not be hearing any arguments against it

[unique lily]

flea brew 🔥

[dense kindle]

true I love performance enhancers

[feral bobcat]

Tren

[dense kindle]

they should put the pale oil somewhere else and give me infinite flea brew as a reward for fleas

[feral bobcat]

Counterpoint witch root radius is too small and bind too slow to work on serious opponents like act 3 final boss

[feral bobcat]

See

[unique lily]

I'm seeing the vision now

[dense kindle]

still have to get maggot immunity all the way in putrified

meaning you either have to have ||double jump|| for ||memorium|| or already finish bilewater, right?

[short swift]

I DID IT

I DID it

spell spam for the win

[feral bobcat]

I didnt

[dense kindle]

I might have an issue

I've been playing with anklets for too long

I can't go back

[feral bobcat]

Same

The speed is addicting

[short swift]

literally just the spell cheese strat

[feral bobcat]

Its actually easier to follow the game play when im going faster

If i go slow i cant pay attention

[short swift]

Dream Wielder, Soul Catcher and Spell Twister
and long nail to help with pogos

[feral bobcat]

Weird cuz hades 2 frenzy 2 isnt like that

[echo hazel]

no shaman stone? ☹️

[dense kindle]

cuz frenzy is them going faster

anklet is you going faster

[echo hazel]

shaman stone my beloved 🫀

[short swift]

wait lol

i forgor

i mean tbh

i gave up a bit of dmg for a bit more spam

it worked out

should i try and get the final nail upgrade or should that i wait to do the pale ore farm

still got two more dreamers left if that helps

[echo hazel]

upgrading your nail makes all the ghost bosses have higher hp, you should do it late in the save

[short swift]

like the dream bosses?

[echo hazel]

no, the ones that give you essence

[short swift]

ohh

[echo hazel]

also makes the grim troupe content harder

it also has a few enemies whose health scale with your nail level

in my subsequent playthroughs, i kept my nail at level 3 for most of the file, deleted all the scaling bosses and enemies with upgraded spells, then maxed my nail

@unique lily it all makes sense now

[hearty yarrow]

will eventually go for the 30h one

But I need time to figure out how I want to approach that

[faint hollow]

the 100% speedrun seems a lot harder because this game is pretty massive

but tbf there's probably going to be optimised routes

[clear python]

i heard they use lumen. game looks like straight from 2008. why do randy's parents still allow him to have money. why should other code their own engine if bl4 uses ue5.

guy is posting like it's the next crysis

WHY ARE PEOPLE GIVING THIS GUY MONEY

but on that note, i actually wanted to ask you if you know any actually good looter shooters

i technically like borderlands' system actually

[dense kindle]

game good unfortunately (except optimization)

lso the game does look pretty good ngl

[broken smelt]

pale lurker also has scaling hp with nail upgrades

[dense kindle]

lol

[clear python]

did they stop the series' downwards trajectory? i feel like it looks pretty much like 3 (and I've converted to the rollerdrome school of comic style since then)

[dense kindle]

story boring but inoffensive
gameplay as good as, or better than 3

I think that's all people needed to be sold

[clear python]

yeah i found bl3 the worst i've played but cant say much more about 4 without playing it then

[dense kindle]

people liked bl3's gameplay a lot

[clear python]

3 was the best-selling title of the series iirc anyway

[dense kindle]

its story was just a huge turnoff

[clear python]

i dont wanna sound high and mighty but did they like it because it was easy....................

[dense kindle]

idk

[clear python]

difficult to verbalize anyway

[dense kindle]

I dont' think bl2 is a masterpiece in terms of gameplay anyways

[clear python]

I liked it except the balancing which was atrocious, especially on the higher difficulties. PS was the same (except cute lil movement mechanics) and 3 was just ten times more oranges and ten times more damage

I didn't get into 1 at all (played it after PS)

I remember stopping to play at a bossfight in a valley where the boss (some sort of bandit king?) is on high ground, instantly cuts down your HP and I had like 20 bullets and no idea how to continue

[hybrid jetty]

3 just felt better to play and the different action skills were cool, the worst part (gameplay wise) was easily how many legendaries drop

i was finding legendary grenades in vending machines it was dire

[dense kindle]

isn't 4 really stingy with legendaries

[clear python]

i had around 15 legendaries lying around in any given level near the end

hell yea

Huge % gap between this and steel soul/speedruns tho

Goes from 3.3 to 1.4 for hunter journal to .6 for speedrunnee

Then .3 .3 .1

And i dont even know if i wanna do the journal

Maybe ill try the 100% cuz im at 95%

I reckon its 2 more masks 2 more spools 1 pale oil?

No wait 1 mask

And 1 charm

[unique lily]

I'm almost into act 3 on my second run and I'm realizing that steel soul 100% is actually so doable

like I'm confident I can do it right now without godhome

[feral bobcat]

Nah i cant even 100 % a normal save file after 99 hours

I wonder if dying in the memory land counts for steel soul

Like vs the act 3 bosses

[unique lily]

good question. It didn't in HK besides the radiance fight

you could die to NKG or Pure Vessel and still be fine

[feral bobcat]

Oh wait ik what charm im missing

||volt filament||

Where tf is the ||voltwyrm||

[unique lily]

oh yeah that's an act 3 thing

[feral bobcat]

This the 15th time i gotta backtrack to mt fay

[unique lily]

you need to use ||silk soar|| in sands of karak to get to it

[feral bobcat]

I thought i was done w act 3 mt fay stuff after the brightvinr

In the tower

Or on that area w the boss

Watcher

[unique lily]

it at the top of the room in the middle of the map

there's like a bridge there too

[feral bobcat]

||https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1009742220682866701/1417645762568785980/207A721.JPG?ex=68cb3d00&is=68c9eb80&hm=1a11352163c2abd4b33681383459b31a8fd67e35ae31b8502cc237b655e5c690||

also i wonder what those blocked off areas may do when dlcs arrive

[unique lily]

they could just be nothing similar to howling cliffs in HK

[feral bobcat]

ngl idk if i wanna do volt or flea games first

i only did the bounce one

[unique lily]

volt is 10x easier

[feral bobcat]

juggle got to 12 pb in like 5ish tries
dodge i think 38?

also what the hell could these be
another crow?

can the fliers at the shroom parkour be killed?

i might need one for journal

Thats nasty if so

This hunter journal gonna take forever

Wait u need everything for 100% holy yea i aint doing steel soul w that in the next 5 years minimum

Ill get lost immediately

[dense kindle]

for achievements? yeah

[feral bobcat]

U need active pins pointing out everything

Every charm spool tool mask everything

[dense kindle]

you need steel souls, steel soul 100%, 5 hour speedrun, 30 hour 100% speedrun

in order to get all steam achievements

like Hollow Knight, many players will never get it

[feral bobcat]

Yea ss on top of having everything is crazy

Thats not normal

At that point ure not even playing a game anymore

I can see ss win and 5hour speedrun , maaaaybe 30h speedrun 100% but the steel soul 100% is wild

[dense kindle]

5 hour speedrun definitely isn't too bad

I got to high halls gauntlet in 3 hours just roughly following the current speedrun route

[feral bobcat]

No that feels acceptable

[dense kindle]

with a LOT of deaths

the speedrun route rn is basically ||Silkspear, Dash, Parachute, Wall Jump, Needolin, then Mist, Cogwork Dancers, Harpoon, Cogwork Heart, High Halls, final bosses||

[unique lily]

OOOOooooOOOOoooo mist

spooky

[dense kindle]

spooky

[unique lily]

there's a last judge route being worked on too right?

[boreal isle]

:)

[unique lily]

and there was one that was trying to fit in wanderer

[feral bobcat]

Yea that just sounds like a job and not a game

[dense kindle]

I'm gonna pick up wanderer just because high halls gauntlet with hunter seems difficult

[unique lily]

I'm doing this next. actually seems so doable now that I have gotten better

GGs on the clear!

[dense kindle]

I suck so going deathless is never gonna happen lol

[boreal isle]

it's probably a lot easier to do after speedrunning to harpoon

[dense kindle]

especially since it's so much harder to farm a heal in this game

[feral bobcat]

The humble bilewater

[unique lily]

my play is gonna be to speedrun to harpoon and cogflies and play safely from there

[dense kindle]

I'll give bilewater that, at least it has some enemies that are easy to farm

[boreal isle]

savequit

[dense kindle]

yeah I suppose

altf4 in panic

[unique lily]

bilewater is genuinely fun on second playthroughs trust

[feral bobcat]

Wait is that how people win this shi

Oh that's just lame as all hell

So not only do u actively ignore the game and only follow paths for items to get %

[unique lily]

a win is a win lmao

[feral bobcat]

U even quit the game

[boreal isle]

yeah

[feral bobcat]

Yea but asking the player to not play the game when playing the game is like

[dense kindle]

that is the point of getting 100%, yeah

[feral bobcat]

About on the same levels of bs as what underworld speedruns for hades 2 are

[boreal isle]

that's just how the game is played at high level

[dense kindle]

it's like using tools

[feral bobcat]

Oh yea high level

[dense kindle]

do whatever it takes to win

[tribal lotus]

even in normal mode savequit can be a good way to avoid pain

[unique lily]

honestly between tool spam and save quits, steel soul sounds hella chill

[dense kindle]

benchwarping is pretty neat because backtracking to bench after getting something is a hassle a lot of the time, before act 3

[unique lily]

benchwarping has been an ol reliable since HK

[boreal isle]

the only difference between savequitting to retry a boss and going to godhome for practice is presentation

[dense kindle]

alslo runbacks

[feral bobcat]

And ones intended

[unique lily]

do you know if dying in memories in skong ends your steel soul or is it like dream fights in HK?

[boreal isle]

it doesnt

[unique lily]

this shi easy bro

I'm loading up steel soul after this run

[boreal isle]

also get fractured mask

it gives you so much hp

[unique lily]

oh yeah for sure

[dense kindle]

isn't fractured mask just 1 hp

or 2 if you take a double hit at the mask

[boreal isle]

that's 20% at 5 masks

[dense kindle]

yeah I guess

[boreal isle]

40% if you are taking a 2 mask attack

[dense kindle]

I'd have to get it though

[boreal isle]

you need cloak for it i think?

float

[dense kindle]

big ant and then ant gauntlet

[unique lily]

what are the reqs to get shakra to show up in the hunter's march arena?

[boreal isle]

before something

before lace1 maybe?

[unique lily]

isn't lace 1 entirely skippable?

[boreal isle]

yes

so i guess a different answer

[broken smelt]

there is yeah

[boreal isle]

i cant imagine that being faster

[dense kindle]

you'd have to do craws

[broken smelt]

it's not

[unique lily]

can you skip last judge if you move the flea caravan there before fighting it? similar to moorwing?

[broken smelt]

but it doesn't have the rng check into act 2

[boreal isle]

you can't move the caravan there if you haven't defeated last judge

[dense kindle]

can the flea caravan just bring me to lace 2 atp

[unique lily]

they might become 2 separate categories honestly

[boreal isle]

sub hour is so close

[unique lily]

I remember having a convo with a friend of mine and we were discussing how far Skong speedruns will go within the first year and our guess was sub hour lol

these mfs are getting it within a month

[dense kindle]

when's the act 3 speedruns coming

[boreal isle]

still being routed lmfao

[unique lily]

soon. I think the route's nearly complete

[dense kindle]

I'm still not a huge fan of the reqs to get true ending

[unique lily]

I would imagine that they skip coral tower because that seems the longest of the 4

[dense kindle]

yeah

well actually, idk how fast you can do verdania

do you have to do ||palestag|| to finish verdania?

[unique lily]

and to get verdania you also need to do the green prince quest

[feral bobcat]

I mean collecting the little lights gotta be faster than the gauntlets right

[dense kindle]

ah yes

[dense kindle]

there's a lot of lights though

[feral bobcat]

Eugh right quest

Just let us fight ||khann|| twice as a reward

[dense kindle]

compared to 4 arenas of combat which you can pump DPS on

[feral bobcat]

Give him 2 hearts

[dense kindle]

just lemme farm karmelita for 3 hearts

[unique lily]

Khann is basically piccolo from dragon ball. All aura no skill

bro just aura farms while being the biggest pushover in act 3

[feral bobcat]

Im all aura no skill

[dense kindle]

it's weird because I found karmelita to be the easiest heart to get lol

[feral bobcat]

You remember that ||lava escape|| i did no double jump?

All aura

No skill

Pure aura and luck

[unique lily]

surely nyleth is easier. pogo simulator

[dense kindle]

I struggled a lot on nyleth

just gimme a floor and any boss is easy

unless you're beastfly

[elder ivy]

I also don't like the lava is floor minigame 💔

[boreal isle]

the skull cavern is the hardest arena in the game

[unique lily]

funny enough I actually think nyleth is the first time team cherry removed the floor from a boss and actually made it fun

[unique lily]

who?

[feral bobcat]

Whats a skull cavern

[boreal isle]

in far fields

you need harpoon

there's a mask shard there

[dense kindle]

oh fighting the flying lava dudes lol

[feral bobcat]

Oh the sequence

[boreal isle]

you fight the arena with lava floor

[elder ivy]

the one with the lava escape?

[dense kindle]

the gauntlet at the bottom sucked, yeah

[boreal isle]

yes

[dense kindle]

the lava escape afterwards is awesome

[unique lily]

the humble cogfly:

[feral bobcat]

I used tools for the gauntlet

And pure aura for the climb

[boreal isle]

i dont really use tools

[feral bobcat]

Keep the double jump as change

[dense kindle]

I've come to the conclusion that I don't like having Obama drones do the fighting for me, unfortunately

[unique lily]

cogfly is truly the answer to all life's problems

[dense kindle]

so I will be a stubborn idiot and harpoon into the projectile for the 20th time

[unique lily]

but they're so cute 💔

[boreal isle]

i feel like i always have 0 shards any time i use tools

[dense kindle]

isn't it like 10 shards per drone

[feral bobcat]

Cogfly cool and all but if i can see the enemy suffer right beneath my nail ill do so any day of the week and twice on tuesdays

[boreal isle]

it's 80 shards for a full refill at max usage without the steel soul tool

[dense kindle]

cogfly is dark souls summons, now that I think about it

consumes resources, fights for you, probably better than you

[feral bobcat]

They aint better

Theyre clankers

[boreal isle]

they are playing the game hitless

[dense kindle]

they do better dps than you probably

[boreal isle]

i've always wondered why enemies don't take contact damage from us

[unique lily]

cogfly hate is crazy 💔

[feral bobcat]

They die in a couple hits

[dense kindle]

they don't take damage

[feral bobcat]

I dont hate em i just recognize em as lower to us

[dense kindle]

they did patch infinite cogflies unfortunately

[feral bobcat]

I've seen em die plenty of times to enemies with fast attacks or room wide attacks

[dense kindle]

or will, very soon

[dense kindle]

no they just break after 4 hits I believe

[feral bobcat]

And they didn't get their hits in for sure

No i doubt that

One lasted a lot against single enemies when i did bile

Pissed me off cuz i couldnt farm silk

[unique lily]

does anyone know the numbers on the flame daddy charm? is it any good or just as trash as old glowing womb was?

[feral bobcat]

Im not touching it out of disrespect

[unique lily]

valid

[feral bobcat]

What about the crawnest tho any1 know how long it takes to farm

[elder ivy]

small creatures should take contact damage from bigger creatures !
the small ants should take contact damage from hornet and hornet should take contact damage from the big ants

that's how the nature works in real life

[dense kindle]

hornet is huge though

[elder ivy]

her head is huge, her body is tiny though..

[feral bobcat]

Im pretty sure the ants could lift hornet up if this worked like real life nature

Is it her whole head or just her mask tho

[dense kindle]

I kind of don't like how big hornet is

maybe that's why I feel so cramped a lot of the time

[feral bobcat]

The hitbox can feel wonky for enemies flying above u tbf

For example got hit by a flea during minigames

Mf just tickled my horns

[elder ivy]

now imagine being Shakra... she must be hitting her head on the doorframes all the time 😭

[feral bobcat]

Nah she seems nimble and flexible enough to crawl through small spaces

Her mom tho

Dummy thic

Or well mentor

[unique lily]

she's smaller than she looks. Her horns dont have a hitbox

she's bigger than the knight but smaller than, for example, the penitent one from blasphemous

her size is like comparable to Yi from nine sols

[dense kindle]

she definitely feels bigger than the penitent I think

[unique lily]

definitely not

at least not to me

especially considering how many huge enemies this game has

makes you feel even smaller

[dense kindle]

maybe it's the faster movement of silksong

the arenas feels small a lot of the time

[boreal isle]

have y'all talked to the old penitent

[unique lily]

yeah I think that's it. The world is much larger but you're also way faster so it makes rooms seem not as large as in HK

[unique lily]

is that the grand gourmand guy?

[boreal isle]

no there is a character called old penitent in the slab

[unique lily]

oh

I dont think I found him

[boreal isle]

you play needolin to lure him out of his cell

[feral bobcat]

YES

i was so proud to find him

[boreal isle]

damn gio loves this guy

[feral bobcat]

.

[unique lily]

does he do anything?

[feral bobcat]

idk what he does

but im proud of mysekf

[boreal isle]

just talks to you

[feral bobcat]

thats the equivalent of finding out the mist secret

ye ig just like mask maker

@unique lily yo how long flea took u

[unique lily]

like 3 hours 💀

[feral bobcat]

im sorry to say this but

[boreal isle]

that's crazy

mad fun

ragebaiting at times but fun

idk if i had more than 15-20 tries of juggle
dodge took the most i think
bounce was a breeze

[unique lily]

||Lost lace|| took me like like half the time of flea juggle 😭

[feral bobcat]

lmao

i got very close to killing her on like 4 runs

then died to some bs

[unique lily]

the other two were fine, flea juggle was the one that I was struggling on

[feral bobcat]

same thing rn for shroom ending

died like twice whilst she was so low

[boreal isle]

whilst

[feral bobcat]

i hated dodge more than juggle

its so finnicky when u get to jump back after being booped by a flea

sometimes its immediate sometimes ure cucked

[unique lily]

pogo was the most chill one

[feral bobcat]

ye was ez

and u get to slap kratt

worth

juggle u just gotta learn to not bounce em away from each other

and not off the platform

i actually think the brew boosted and the fat ass are easier since u only get one to focus on

so its kind of a little break

[unique lily]

true

[feral bobcat]

so ig now i just have the ||surgeon key and unraveled||

and then im kinda done-ish? i could hunt for the 100% but eh

i already had enough boring phases of beelining to spots pointed out by online guides or ppl here

if its just hints then its fine but if i gotta see the exact spot on the map like w an online guide it takes away all the fun

it just becomes walking simulator

[solar hound]

God

[boreal isle]

what are you missing

[solar hound]

I just beat ||the forum gauntlet|| and got distracted from the dialogue with ||ballador|| didn’t even read what he said

I did all that for nothing lmaooooo

Time to google it I guess

I wonder if that’s been filled out on the wiki

[elder ivy]

he doesn't say anything interesting 💔

[solar hound]

LMAO

[elder ivy]

... probably because I genuinely don't remember

[solar hound]

I just got pranked huh

10 round gauntlet fight and I get a boring conversation

[boreal isle]

i mean

you also get to beat the game

[elder ivy]

you get the melody, that's the most important thing

otherwise he's just like ||"wow pharloom is dying huh... my melody is so beautiful... if only i knew the cost of it all... now my tummy hurts..."||

or something like that!

[solar hound]

I must have missed something bc I don’t really know its importance

Glad I got it out of the way I guess

[boreal isle]

beating the game.?

[elder ivy]

you need the ||three melodies to be able to go up the elevator||

it's how the citadel functions for some reason... the melodies are basicalyl like a secret code

[solar hound]

…was I told this?

[elder ivy]

that only a few people can know

[boreal isle]

yes

after the dancer fight

[elder ivy]

yeah!

[boreal isle]

it's also a main quest

[solar hound]

Oh

I haven’t done the dancer fight

I guess that’s why then lol

[boreal isle]

what

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

[elder ivy]

you have

you can't go to the forum without fighting the dancers, can you??

[boreal isle]

im like 99% sure you are required to do that fight to be at the part you are at

[solar hound]

I have not

[elder ivy]

h-huh

[solar hound]

They’re the duo fight at the top of the choral chambers yes?

[boreal isle]

how do you have harpoon

[solar hound]

Yeah I haven’t done them yet

[boreal isle]

how do you have harpoon

[solar hound]

I… went to the underworld?

Underworks*

[elder ivy]

this is just like when meow accidentally skipped Lace 1 somehow 😭

[boreal isle]

how did you get there without going through the vaults

[valid ridge]

Idk if || grandma silky || is supposed to be harder than || first sinner || but got to the former and beat it on second try compared to my 20+ for the latter.

[solar hound]

I did go through the vaults

I just haven’t done the fight

Went around it

[boreal isle]

how did you get into the vaults without going through the core

[solar hound]

Bro idk I just explored 💔

[elder ivy]

||the GMS is supposed to be pretty easy yeah, the first sinner is supposed to be a lot harder||
so your experience checks out

[valid ridge]

Gotcha

[boreal isle]

show me your map

[solar hound]

Give me a bit

[boreal isle]

the progression is dancers -> core -> vaults -> under -> harpoon -> forum

you can't get to the core without the fight

[solar hound]

I haven’t been in the core at all

Or like

[elder ivy]

wait you can't go there through the Whitewrd?

[solar hound]

Yep I did whiteward

[elder ivy]

I think Yum must have taken the Whiteward route!

[boreal isle]

you can't get to the vaults unless you go through the core 😭

[boreal isle]

?? no

[solar hound]

I am just telling you what I did 😭

[elder ivy]

Whiteward leads to the Underworks !!!!!

[boreal isle]

oh

oh

[solar hound]

I don’t have the core map and I’ve never been inside it

[boreal isle]

this is crazy

[elder ivy]

wow Yum knows Silksong better than ry

[boreal isle]

why did

i didnt even know that

yeah i mean okay

i guess it is possible to play the game like that

[solar hound]

So yeah that’s how I ended up here getting this melody that I don’t understand

But I’m glad I got it yippee

[elder ivy]

it's a metroidvania, who would've guessed!!!

[solar hound]

Lol indeed

[elder ivy]

it was just as confusing when meow skipped the first lace fight somehow, we were all so confused

[boreal isle]

intentionally skipping the main quest and going as far as possible around is possible

[elder ivy]

lmaooo

[solar hound]

Feels judgmental

[elder ivy]

yeah this is so funny

[solar hound]

That’s how I like to play 😭😭

[boreal isle]

i am judging

[solar hound]

I’m a big exploration person

[elder ivy]

ry, the real last judge

[solar hound]

I do important quests after everything else has been exhausted, generally speaking

[feral bobcat]

Judge him back for save quits

[boreal isle]

is that why everybody is taking 20 years to finish act 1

[feral bobcat]

We like to play the game

[elder ivy]

that's the reason it took me this long too yeah

[boreal isle]

this is crazy

[elder ivy]

(... besides the conspiracy board)

[boreal isle]

i can't live without movement

[elder ivy]

I like to take in the atmosphere and vibes!!

[boreal isle]

i probably have more hours than you

[feral bobcat]

I run into any room i can to hit anything i can

[feral bobcat]

Ye

[solar hound]

Exactly

Idk I like the way I play

Obviously, or I wouldn’t do it that way

It’s my way of prolonging the experience of discovery

[elder ivy]

once you finish the game we can invite you to our cool club secret discord 👀

[solar hound]

Sounds fun

[feral bobcat]

Dont rush the experience

Take ur time

Fight everything

Put a nail in everything

[elder ivy]

even yourself!

[feral bobcat]

See them suffer

[solar hound]

I think if we’ve learned anything about me in the past 5 minutes it’s that I’m not rushing anything

[boreal isle]

imaging this path is so funny

[solar hound]

That’s what I did!!

I saw the boss chamber and decided to save it for a rainy day

[elder ivy]

it does look funny actually 😭

lmaooo

[feral bobcat]

Actually looks ok to me

[unique lily]

dude quick sling is actually so stupid wth? 10 second boss kills go crazy

[solar hound]

I’ve done Mt Fay too

[feral bobcat]

IKR

ITS SO GOOD

I KILLED THE||PLASMIUM|| GUY WITH BUZZSAW SPAM

10 MORBILLION BUZZSAWS TO THE FACE

[boreal isle]

WHY????

[feral bobcat]

Woe, saws upon ye

[boreal isle]

killing the local drug addicts with torture devices

[feral bobcat]

My goat

[solar hound]

Best region honestly

Felt like Celeste

[feral bobcat]

I already like u yum

[solar hound]

But easier

[unique lily]

I just melted ||bell eater|| in like a maximun of 8 seconds. how is this even allowed lmao. What is this, elden ring?

[solar hound]

But still challenging at points

[feral bobcat]

This the type of playstyle I love to see

This is how games are meant to be played

Not some point a to point b beeline speedrun bs

[feral bobcat]

Lmfao

I had to beat hiss ass with pure nail tactics cuz i didn't wanna spend shards

How did i write my wss

Ass

Im tired

[boreal isle]

best region so far
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/742056287264833546/1417682882633400395/843259.jpg?ex=68cb5f92&is=68ca0e12&hm=f3981b2798390b86c43f35c4e0b6271c44366af9a7eee05ad9f8e82823c813e3&

[feral bobcat]

I mean

It kinda is the best

[unique lily]

I did that on my first run and now I'm just testing just how stupid things can get in this game on my second run. Getting some very entertaining results

[feral bobcat]

I see i see

[boreal isle]

i pretty much played my entire first 100% playthrough without red tools

[solar hound]

Even if Mt Fay is the peak of exploration, I’m bringing a “holy sht two cakes” mindset to this

Except bilewater that’s like poop from a butt

Though I’m probably going to backtrack there next

[unique lily]

it gets 10x better on your second playthrough trust

[feral bobcat]

Speaking of experiencing stupid stuff
Loaded up hk for about 20 mins
Started pantheon 3 , the bosses are so ez wtf quickslash should be illegal
The heal is so slow tho

Also god tamer beat my ass like 3 times and then i quit.

[solar hound]

I hope so 😞

[feral bobcat]

Remember when i said i like you

Why you gotta do this to me man

[solar hound]

LMAO

[boreal isle]

it's pretty close

[solar hound]

My opinion of it might improve upon my return trip

I didn’t get that far last time because I lost my rosary beads and fell into a minor depression

[boreal isle]

my brow is furrowing

[unique lily]

quickslash? wanderer's crest so good they put it in the first game too

[feral bobcat]

Quickslash is even faster man

[boreal isle]

how do you enter bilewater without the vaults

[feral bobcat]

The dps is insane

[feral bobcat]

I spawn there

Its my first region

[boreal isle]

yum has a personalized copy of the game

[feral bobcat]

I want to mod silksong and start in bilewater

[boreal isle]

oh you get there from road?

[solar hound]

Very funny

Yes sinners road

[boreal isle]

is the walla breakable from both sides?

[solar hound]

Maybe you have a personalized copy of the game in which every region has to be accessed through the vaults

[boreal isle]

that's the "intended" progression afaik

[solar hound]

..yes? TBH I don’t remember if I had to break a wall to get in

But either way it was accessible to me

[boreal isle]

i dont know how people discover sinner's road

it was like the 3rd to last area i ever found

[solar hound]

Probably for the best

[boreal isle]

some people are finding it at 5 masks and needle0

[solar hound]

I went greymoor—> (other things back to greymoor) —> sinner’s road —> bilewater and couldn’t even get to the map

I still can’t chart it out but I explored what I imagine is a decent portion of it

[boreal isle]

the map is soooo much better in this game

[solar hound]

Lailailai ushkaro

[boreal isle]

poSHANKA

[austere wadi]

I don't think I found it that early, but I think it was on my first visit to Greymoor.

[solar hound]

My mapping experience kind of feels the same as HK

What do you think is better?

[boreal isle]

silksong

the map is more accurate, which i like more

oh i misunderstood the question lol

but the second one

yes

the map is more accurate

[solar hound]

Lol

I’d have to revisit HK

[boreal isle]

i notice little things

[austere wadi]

My recent run hasn't been bad with the map, but I do remember from prior playthroughs that there are some inconsistencies.

HK's map was good, but if Silksong cleans up those little problems then I can agree that it's better.

[boreal isle]

this part of peak specifically riles me up

oh theres no pictures

[austere wadi]

Crystal Peak?

[boreal isle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/742056287264833546/1417685591419519086/1ce7b26e2a756146c2b25a270192afe8.png?ex=68cb6218&is=68ca1098&hm=bc714a98bbe76a96a960f837e550623995dc32f54184ed6760cf2ddb94ccbb9b&

[austere wadi]

Oh yeah, that part is wild.

[boreal isle]

i don't think the map of hollow knight is bad at all

i just think silksong's is better

[feral bobcat]

Silksong heal for sure better thk

Tho

[boreal isle]

it's a lot more fun to use

[feral bobcat]

Also whats wrong w peak there

[solar hound]

I remember thinking those drops came from accessible areas

[feral bobcat]

Eh

Its not that bad

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1404551136425414878/1417689102253428907/FB_IMG_1758073770693.jpg?ex=68cb655d&is=68ca13dd&hm=11a0164d534062a03aefdfb2aaf2559e1b97196db847e444fa9366127affeb45&

[elder ivy]

I got to Bilewater from the Sinner's road too lol

that seems to be the intended way!

since it's Waaaaay earlier in the game

[boreal isle]

mfw i get walljump and decided to mess around in greymoor

[elder ivy]

yeah pretty much lol

[feral bobcat]

I got there thru the vaults

[solar hound]

I fought the cogwork dancers

Really easy but such a beautiful fight

[elder ivy]

"really easy"
yeah maybe it's because you spent all that time exploring and you got overlevelled 😭

it's supposed to be the first thing you do in the citadel after all... without a harpoon or a double jump

so I guess there is a downside to exploring too much and straying from the main objective 😔

(though to be honest the cogwork dancers aren't supposed to be difficult anyway)

[feral bobcat]

Idk if u get that much leveling up done from what regions he exploree

There was bile and high halls from what i remember

Oh harpoon db jump

I may not be able to read

[elder ivy]

lmaooo it's okay

[feral bobcat]

I thought of dps or health lvl ups not mobility

[elder ivy]

I guess you can't get any pale oil until after you beat them....

[feral bobcat]

That and idk how many tool upgrades ud have

[solar hound]

That did cross my mind each time I double jumped

[elder ivy]

😭 😭 😭 lmaooo

[elder ivy]

this is insane because you were scared of the dancers and didn't want to do them yet, so you ended up doing a MUCH MUCH Harder High Halls fight UNDERLEVELLED

and then you came back and beat the easier dancers OVERLEVELLED 😭

this is the funniest route I've seen lmaoo

[solar hound]

When you put it like that it sounds insane LMAO

[elder ivy]

You're getting a very unique experience at least???

[solar hound]

I’m instinctively scared of bosses and not scared of regular enemy encounters even in gauntlet format

Odd mindset perhaps

[elder ivy]

lmao no I get that! I agree!

but that one specific gauntlet is just sooo brutal, it's considered one of the hardest things in the game

especially the two big guys at the end, that's pretty much a bossfight

[solar hound]

It was pretty traumatic

[elder ivy]

yeah it's like a double bossfight after a marathon of fighting regular enemies 😭

[solar hound]

I remember when I got past the midway miniboss and another wave of fliers spawned in

Thought I was hallucinating

[elder ivy]

💔 I also thought it would be over...

[solar hound]

All that for a melody I didn’t even know the purpose of

[elder ivy]

😭

[solar hound]

What a messed up order honestly I get why Ry was in disbelief

[elder ivy]

that's so funny

yeaaah

[solar hound]

Now that I’ve done it all 😭

[elder ivy]

you made traversal between areas unnecessarily difficult too....

because going from Songclave to High Halls is a straight sprint!

[solar hound]

🗿 yeah

Granted it was mostly exploration and not retracing so I was ok with it

Unlocked the fast travel waypoints

[elder ivy]

You can enjoy feeling unique I suppose!!

but yeah you don't need to be as afraid of bosses here

most of them aren't all that terrifiying, it's just a few...

[solar hound]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1413333929385267353/1417726995395121253/IMG_9879.jpg?ex=68cb88a7&is=68ca3727&hm=037682ab412eb7abf57a0f6274fcf83b5a36c144b541c1721010ea20d651869b&

[elder ivy]

it's the opposite in this case though 😭

[solar hound]

I know…

[elder ivy]

also wow I hate this image

[solar hound]

I couldn’t find the inverse

[austere wadi]

"They hated him, for he spoke the truth."

[elder ivy]

ahh okay hahhaha

[solar hound]

No schpoonman gets it

I enjoy the endless halls of the choral chambers while you bums rush the cogwork dancers (fight them at a reasonable time)

[deep hemlock]

fought first sinner

tc cooked

genuinely peak

[elder ivy]

I KNOW RIGHT!!!!

one of my fav bosses!!!!!!!!

[deep hemlock]

75% of her moves are Hornet's moveset

[elder ivy]

yesss I love how thematic it is!!

also how ||it builds on top of the widow's moveset too, since they're both weavers too!!||

[deep hemlock]

really felt like the pale vessel of this game

[elder ivy]

you haven't even seen the REAL pure vessel of this game yet.....

there are a lot more insanely cool bosses later

[deep hemlock]

||right, and it adds so much to the message of pharloom being used like slaves for their rulers- even the more "respected" bugs are still pawns||

[deep hemlock]

im kinda worried ngl
but also really excited i think it might be favorite boss design wise, def top 10

[elder ivy]

what do you mean top 10? have you fought more than 10 bosses so far??

😭

that top 10 means nothing lmaooo

[deep hemlock]

nah the only boss ive fought is sans for befriending my mother

[elder ivy]

unless you mean like top 10 out of all the games in the world?

[deep hemlock]

top 5 in silksong, arrived on this boss late act 2 have fought at least 20ish bosses i think?

[elder ivy]

i remember you're genocides...

[boreal isle]

lilac ar eyou famous

[deep hemlock]

of course we get the infamous mother befriender but we can't get my glorious GOAT Papyrus

[elder ivy]

👀

[deep hemlock]

genuinely unfai

*unfair

[elder ivy]

how do you know ry??

[deep hemlock]

but top 10 boss designs in all of hk

they remembers you're fames

[elder ivy]

why would chara make me do this....

[deep hemlock]

"Kris, Chara made me spend 25 dollars to remember you're Snowgraves"

[elder ivy]

25 rosaries*

[deep hemlock]

ngl all the snowgrave on save slot 2 memes do make me want Toby Fox to pull some shenaningans with the save/load system

[deep hemlock]

wow! almost enough to sit a bench 2 times!

[elder ivy]

chapter 5 will still not be out for like another year, as per the recent newsletter 💔

[deep hemlock]

Pale King I take back all the criticism I ever had of you you truly were a benevolent leader

[deep hemlock]

it does suck but honestly like silksong is so peak and i appreciate it a lot and i def feel like it was worth the weight
and deltarune + undertale have insane levels of detailing and polish so i don't really mind

[elder ivy]

true true!

[deep hemlock]

cuz like i know for a fact that toby fox is silking it rn and i hope he's enjoying his song

[elder ivy]

silksong was 100% worth the 7 years of waiting

[deep hemlock]

all my frustration evaportated when they said "oh yeah it took so long cuz we were having fun with it"

honestly W for that

[elder ivy]

absolutely!!!

@boreal isle are you not planning on elaborating?

because I'm going to go sleep soon..

[boreal isle]

no

[elder ivy]

okay

[boreal isle]

lalalalala (playing(

[deep hemlock]

oh and true ending spoilers ||i do really like how the knight showing up kinda mirrors hornet saving the knight after the king's brand||

||like a we're even in a way||

[elder ivy]

wait you just fought the first sinner but you know the ending??????????

[deep hemlock]

yep got it spoiled to me

😔

[elder ivy]

this is so messed up

[deep hemlock]

why would chara spoil it?

what an unfriendly kid

Is there any way to get a permanent || resistance to the worm water or only the fragile wreath || ?

[solar hound]

Just found the actual vaults lmfaooo I was straight up lying earlier

[elder ivy]

The wreath is the only way

[solar hound]

I thought they were a subsection of the choral chambers 😅😅

[fathom juniper]

well - a lot of games have rarity systems now
which i'm quite honest tired of

BUT
i found that deadzone rogue scratches that borderlands itch really well

even if it's a roguelike

at least i got the hang of modding it baby's first

but yes blands4 related post was nuts

more expedition 33 spoilies in this one but i locked in
it did take over a week tho. video editing is my passion

[austere wadi]

If you save at your Bellhome and reload the game Hornet's lying down like she was resting. 😭

[ocean iris]

time to see how much they butchered the new skate game

[austere wadi]

And the First Sinner is pretty cool.

genuinely most annoying guys

😭

30 attempts and i can assure you the last 15 were wiping to these two

[toxic crater]

Silksong side quest question: can I use the ||drill tool|| to make ||shredded organs||?

[echo hazel]

idk i used the ||chainsaw|| that you can buy from the architect

[toxic crater]

I don’t have that one yet. I’ll just keep trying stuff. I have bundles on deck if necessary.

[feral bobcat]

Me with bilewater

[feral bobcat]

Yes

Wait

||shredded?||

I think it was ||skewered||

Either one of those

So if theres some way u're getting ||skewered|| already then use drill for ||shredded||

I think i used the||longpin|| for ||skewered|| now that i remember

Ok yes drill should work

[toxic crater]

You can get ||skewered|| with ||sting shards||. That’s what I’m using.

[feral bobcat]

Yea so drill should work for the other one

[deep hemlock]

i perfer using the saw wheel if u have it

it's good damage and u can use it on the big boy enemies, 2-3 wheels set up and kills them in putrified ducts

[glossy trench]

||beast|| and ||architect|| crests give you ||shredded organs|| with their basic attacks already

so there's no need to spend shards on that

[solar hound]

I think after experiencing Mt Fay I’ve healed

Greymoor to sinner’s road to bilewater was too brutal for me

[faint hollow]

mt fay, a healing experience? that's crazy

SR to BW to PD is truly the combination of all time

[austere wadi]

It's after Bilewater, though, anything is better following Bilewater.

[feral bobcat]

Any1 have any idea why i dont get notifs from this channel

Not even the little white dot on the left of the server profile

I got it favorited, followed, all messages enabled on notifs, no mute

[austere wadi]

No idea.

[feral bobcat]

Can u send another msg i wanna test smthin

[austere wadi]

Fully Ramblomatic released their Silksong review, eager to pick through the humor to find genuine takes.

[feral bobcat]

Gracias

Works now

[austere wadi]

Cool.

[feral bobcat]

Apparently muting the offtopic category mutes this channel aswell even tho i moved it to the favorites category

[austere wadi]

Well that was actually harsher on the game than I thought it'd be.

Yahtzee did make some points I agreed with, one of them being that Silksong brought a ton of heat with their boss runbacks, and I'm pretty sure he called out the High Halls gauntlet very specifically.

[feral bobcat]

Yahtzee?

The game?

[austere wadi]

Yahtzee Crowshaw, the game reviewer. Zero Punctuation, now Fully Ramblomatic.

Mostly famous for being a super caustic reviewer, I think he approaches games as an artform first and foremost.

[feral bobcat]

So you're saying he's pretentious

[austere wadi]

Mostly performatively.

I think he was the guy who coined the PC Master Race thing.

[feral bobcat]

I see

[austere wadi]

So the Bone Bottom courier run took about two minutes.

The Songclave run looks nightmarish.

[deep hemlock]

The Pale King ran an economy so good it continued to proper after his death, built affordable publice transport and free non anti-homeless benches, and failed his grand plan because he really did love his son

he was the GOAT

my apologies my glorious king

i shall never talk smack about you

[feral bobcat]

He also got freaky with it

Very often

What did ||gilf|| ever do

[deep hemlock]

dw ||she just abused her kids||

[feral bobcat]

And had em ||taken away by custody|| HUGE ACT 3 SPOILER BTW

[toxic crater]

Just beat the ||First Sinner|| in only three tries! I was absolutely in my bag on that last try.

[faint hollow]

nice!

I tried that boss but was failing hard, so I completed the great taste of pharloom first

hoping to get it tomorrow

[toxic crater]

I was doing my running attacks and getting in between the horizontal attacks. Almost like I meant it, too! It was getting ugly for them.

[elder ivy]

Nice you experienced one of the best bosses in the game!!

[faint hollow]

which crest were you using?

[elder ivy]

someone @ that one person who was complaining about this boss being "unfair" or something 😭

[faint hollow]

people are allowed to think something's unfair tbh

[toxic crater]

Reaper.

[elder ivy]

yeah sure, but that person was insisting very hard that this boss is a terrible design and impossible to do

[faint hollow]

ah

[elder ivy]

there is a difference !

[faint hollow]

Reaper is usually my go-to crest but I had such a hard time hitting the boss with it

[elder ivy]

Reaper is very slow unfortunately.. 😔

[dense kindle]

team cherry pls buff reaper dps

[feral bobcat]

for something called the reaper u sure dont reap a lot

maybe get to meet the reaper more often tho

good platforming tho yay

[feral bobcat]

So you can feed bombs to ||groal||

[valid ridge]

What the max numbers of masks/health. 9 or 10?

[elder ivy]

10

[austere wadi]

Okay.

I've got the ||Hivesteel|| Needle, I've got Longclaw, I've got my poison Cogflies.

I have 8 masks. I should be able to get the ||High Halls|| gauntlet within an hour.

I bumped my controller cable and Silksong stopped recognizing it.

[feral bobcat]

Scammed

[austere wadi]

||Shakra is carrying me.||

Second try.

Got ||Lace|| in 3.

And there's the first ending.

[feral bobcat]

Gg

[valid ridge]

Any tips for late game || flea dodge game? The juggle and pogo were pretty easy but 60 second no hit is a bit tough ||

[echo hazel]

the gimmick of the crest is you get more silk from hitting enemies

you're "reaping" extra silk

[elder ivy]

can we have a crest called the Sower too then? where instead of getting silk we GIVE silk to our enemies, so that we can reap it later with the reaper...

[echo hazel]

so you can reap what you sow...
mind = blown 😳 🤯 💯

[elder ivy]

Exactly !!!!!!

🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[dense kindle]

I'll spend like 3 playthroughs just nonstop sowing all over the place

so the next playthrough the reaping will be so juicy

[elder ivy]

one hit = 10 silk + 100 rosaries + 400 shards + your family is alive again + Hallownest is okay again

🔥

[austere wadi]

C'mon, Team Cherry, ||black tendrils across my save file|| isn't nearly scary enough. /s

I did spoil myself inadvertently, some careless link clicking put me on a page that said ||HEY YOU GO TO THE ABYSS LATER||, but watching ||Lace slap up the GILK|| has me very ready for Act 3.

I was like 33% correct, I thought ||we'd return to Hallownest at some point, the Abyss is just about the same thing.||

[elder ivy]

being spoiled on that is rough 💔

[echo hazel]

yeah, that blew my mind

opening my savefile and ||seeing a cutscene play, slowly realizing there's way more content was crazy||

[weak herald]

I made a poem thing about Silksong and wanted some thoughts. Edit: I added another line.

Lace and song and woven thread, silk reanimates the dead.
weaving life within its loom, the mother's life, the daughter's tomb.
Her song rings out and echoes through, bind past to present, lost void consumes.
Save us please oh child come, from wyrm and spider, your fate unspun.

[solar hound]

Oh my silksong is finally updating

Guess I did the original moorwing fight and not the nerfed version then?

Neat

[austere wadi]

So far ||only one of the Hearts|| is obvious. I was very over Act 2 so I wikiwalked my way to Act 3, going to try to do as much as possible by myself for this ending.

Well done, I did ||Cogwork Core|| before hazard damage was dropped.

[solar hound]

I’m actually in the vaults rn

I guess I did that too?

Lol

Was all hazard damage dropped? I thought it was just the steps

[austere wadi]

Multiple areas, included the two above.

There are still some 2 mask hazards.

[solar hound]

Guess I’ll find out as I wander around

[weak herald]

The biggest silksong tip I’ve found is not to get greedy and don’t waste forge metal until late act two after high halls.

Don’t get greedy and try for extra hits on bosses, learn to dodge better always above all other skills.

[valid ridge]

This || flea dodge is going to be the death of me for real. ||

Both of the other challenges were very fun and this is just

Is there really no way to tell if || a flea will go down or diagonal. That being rng is very lame ||

[dense kindle]

based on how they come into the screen I think?

[echo hazel]

they do a little movement before they launch

if it's down it's a little vertical movement. if diagonal, then a little diagonal movement
