>>78126819Absolutely peak
>>78127084Thanks anon. I could tell it was a touching comic.
We may not have "shaw!" Or "edino!"But when she knock on the doctor door with a "LAOOO" it's almost as good
>>78129228>knock on door>LMAOOOOOOwtf based dingdong ditcher Hornet
>>78126582Imagine if Haydee had been a good game.
every time i think im close to finishing up the map and being able to go get the three melodies without feeling like i missed something, i find another new thinghow much fucking content did they pack into this and how did they do it
>>78131013The power of Team Cherry.
>>78131748for realanyway im in pilgrims rest for the delivery and i have no idea what the hell is behind this doorhow do you get behind it? or do you just break it somehow
>>78131899Take another look around the fast travel station. It's surprisingly easy to miss.
The knight would eat this bilewater maggot shit upBith in-lore and in-game
*yakuza mission text*Find Sherma
>>78132035>defeat the guy>item he drops falls offscreen into spikesi-it wasnt anything i needed, r-right?
>>78132396It was a Beast Shard you're fiiiiine
>>78135232>exhausted from fucking White Lady>then has to fuck HerrahAs much as I envy him, I kind of pity him.
>>78132428good to hearanyway, i've been trying to use Beast Crest more and for the life of me i cant deal with that pogoit's great for boss fights because of how much damage you're doing with your melee if you bind it, but god does moving with it around places clearly meant for the Hunter pogo suckalso her taunt changes, it's probably diffrent for every crest too
I can't believe Silksong gave us this years most sexy, powerful and interesting black women in a video game and it's a bug.
>>78136154I bet you fapped to that muscular Aku worshipper who was on screen for like 10 seconds in Samurai Jack.
>>78136253You know what, I never did. But I'll put that on my list just for you friend.
>>78136154cant belive Silksong also defeated racismTeam Cherry is truly the best there is
Karmelita got shafted pretty bad, being an optional act 3 boss.
I would be posting more but I'm getting my ass handed to me by the Act 3 final boss.
>>78141453Oof.
It's funny how the people who'd normally go "umm that's a child" about Lace have basically been dead silent because everyone was making porn of her and shipping her wit Hornet for years before the game released.
>>78143199I go "umm that's a child" about Lace because brat taming is based
>>78144153I've been thinking more about the opposite scenario. The brat turning her new guardian and protector into more of a servant.
>>78145019
>>78146962It's weird how Second Sentinel doesn't really do anything in Act 3 besides fight off husks.
>>78126582When do we get to fight Grand Father Song?
Small sister
>>78148297What exactly would you have expected him to do? His purpose was to protect the citadel and he's the only capable fighter left there, no Trobbio doesn't count, and he was never going to leave his post. If he left the pilgrims would likely all die, if he came down to help he'd just be either eaten or taken over by the void as even the other machine bugs got void'd meaning only has he no way down but he'd possibly end up becoming Lost like Garmond
Characters with enough fanart/porn:>Hornet>LaceCharacters with not enough:>literally everyone else
Willing to take any scummy tips on dealing with the Forum enemy gauntlet. Been attempting this thing on and off for lile 6 hours and I can't do it. Gimme the juice!!
>>78149675Most people proved that they were barely making it past act 1 let alone act 2. Most haven't even binded to eva, seen Shakra's quest through, beaten the 3rd act.Most artists have not played the game even in a quarter yet, most are pretty much seeing their character sources from online or from videos
>>78149721>Forum enemy gauntletwhat do you mean? You have the cheese with you in the fight as she throws rings right along side you
>>78149721Use Sting Shards or Cogflies for flying enemies and Tacks for ground ones. If you get a chance and Shakra's with you, you can use the Needolin amplification tool to lock enemies in place while she hits them for free damage.
>>78149721You can ask for Shakra's or Garmond's help for that but I've never seen the requirements for those.
I like the headcanon her hair looks like her mom's without the hat
>>78151317was going to post that earlier, but i forgot. lol.
>>78151295I think it's just her hair up in a bun instead of a hat
>>78151331This little faggot sacrificed himself to show us that Hornet is canonically hot, we should all be grateful.
>>78150586Shakra can help you ??? Damn I wonder how many things like that I have missed. Shakra's only helped me in hunters march for that one tiny gauntlet.
>>78151704Does anyone have that art where they were flirting while hornet played a melody ?
>>78150786I'm a bit puzzled aswell. She's been sitting in belhart the whole time, I even stopped by to chat while going to refill plasmium and she didn't mention anything related to that. I'll look it up on my 2nd playthrough.
>>78150786Shakra: collect all the maps and meet hwr master (i think)
>>78151704Lace is too cute and the game has made me not want to kill her.
https://www.nexusmods.com/hollowknightsilksong/mods/427it's out
>>78152626
>>78152626>need to login to see itdamnhow curvy is she
>>78152664
>>78152671Not the right kind of curvy.
>>78152671>curvy while not being too muchvery goodare there any screenshots of the scene where she gets the floating cloak upgrade, or the spa scene where she gets spied on
>>78152696Sadly not. I'm not far enough in Silksong to make my own screenshots for those things either...
bugnid
>>78153136Now give me the knight version of this same thing anon, I crave more futa knight content and have been in the desert for years
>>78153184all i got is this.
>>78153228You've let me down anon
>>78126582Should I do all cleanup available before going into the threefold elevator ? Just yes or no, want to avoid spoilers. This seems very final but they didn't give a point of no return prompt so it feels reasonable to ask.
New crest
>>78153267sorry sempai...
>>78153290Yes
>>78145019>>78146078There should be a version of that outfit for the normal sized hornet. Something with more tight fabric instead of the loose robes.
>>78152696Like this?
>>78154077You have to install that mod first?
>>78154121What modThis happens every time you stand in an updraft
>No porn of shakra's master>No touching art of Shakra's master>No art of Shakra's masterIt's rarely been so overI do kinda wish there was a way to have met her when she was alive or even save her if you were really fast to mapping out Pharloom or kept her trail before certain checks happened.
>>78154468>save herFrom what? Old age?The only thing that could happen is team cherry making the past needolin work on her
>>78154612She was young and hip, she was in her prime even. Bilewater is what killed her
>>78154077no i mean the scene after you get the 20 needles and give them to the seamstress so she can give you the ability to floatshe takes off her cloak there
>>78154656That is actually the exact opposite of what happened.
>>78150786I believe you have to complete her quest. It'll show up in bellhart but first you need to buy all her maps and get two parts of the threefold melody.
>>78136154She's amazonian, not a disgusting obese niggress.
>>78157194but anon, all the bugs are black in silksong#000000 black in fact
>>78158497The HK setting is Africa? Of course! How could we have been so blind?
>>78158535that or Australiathose places host some fucked up creatures
>>78158704But there aren't any black people in Australia.
>>78153290You can activate and go into the elevator, just don't challenge the final boss. It will be obvious what to do to challenge the final boss, it's unlikely you'll do it by accident.
>>78149773>most haven't binded to evabecause it's a pain in the ass finding enough memory lockets to bind her even once you've gone through the whole/most of the gameI haven't been using any guides; beat Lost Lace and most of the world bosses (only missing Watcher at the Edge and Crawfather rn) and I still haven't maxed the Witch's or Shaman's crests
>>78149721Beat the First Sinner and Voltwyrm and spam Rune Rage/Volt Filament. Genuinely makes the gauntlet trivial, I beat it on my third try
>>78159806You don't need memory lockets or maxing anything, you just need all the crests
Just got the true ending. That was pretty great.
>>78161914What did you think that laugh was about ?
>>78154425>>78152696 was asking what the updraft thing would look like with the mod >>78152626 posted.
>>78151857This?
>>78162165Yeah that. Thanks for finding it.
>>78162116I interpreted it as surprise on her part that things had turned out the way they did. Being vague to avoid spoilers.
>>78162165Never would have thought of Lace being the tsundere but I like it.
>>78164691
>>78145019Cool fanart of the hidden ending where you don't press anything after falling down into the moss grotto (real)
>>78165387hot.
>>78165387GMS's gift to her daughter ? Or the aftermath of the slab scenario ?
>>78166083Lace's rebellion. instead killing the spider or letting her go she's taking her for herself
>>78166671So she offers her that choice after enduring some months under the flies's treatment.
>>78164691>>78164700I see we're reading the same fic. Do you think Silk made Lace to be a brat princess or Lace just turned out like that?
>>78167768Yeah I've been following that fic, even though I wish I could find a story that made the brat still feel some loss for her mother.>Silk made Lace to be a brat princessYou mean her mother spoiling her to be like that ? I could see that happening, the snail shaman basically said that she had free reign throughout the kingdom.
Did you know you can upgrade the boomerang, and that the silkshot has three different variants?
>>78169785Lol if only.
>>78170094This explains her hatred for flies. I knew it was not just because they stink since there are much grosser creatures in the game she doesn't hate as much
>Act 3Man this is depressing. Would've been nice if there were opportunities to support what's left and have it reflected ingame.
Ya know all this talk of flies and not a single piece of art for the one mother in that jail
>>78171904What would she do ? Fill Hornet with larvae ?
>>78165387jokes aside, the citadel hornet design looks cool af
>>78160184you do need to unlock a certain amount of memory lockets though, I ran into that issue. Not all of them but most.Binding Eva is worth because Slyphsong is busted
>>78169491I saw the variants of the silkshot, but I assumed 12th architect was the only one who could repair it. I've heard that one was the worst and the Mount Fey upgrade bench is the best, but oh well, I barely used it anyway. Curvesickle on the other hand, my GOAT in arenas with all the flying enemies
>>78165387>>78173340Do you picture her having a binding mark on her shell beneath that robe ? Or maybe some heavier implements that keep her silk controlled but usable unlike what was done with the Widow ?
>>78175444Still waiting for a crossover fic to be written for Silksong.
>>78165387How far are you in the game anon ?
>>78176086Oh, funny story actuallyIt took so long to edit this because i alredy beat chapter 3 and could not find any non-void backgrounds to use, so i had to make a new save and get to the citadel again
>>78176336I thought you were datamining all those assets. >so i had to make a new save and get to the citadel againI guess you didnt save the sitting Lace image from act 3 before starting over then ? Cause that one would be fun to use in some ideas.
>>78176336Oh and thanks for going through all that effort for the convert edit !
>>78176422I can manage
Fluffy...
>>78176455Well if you want to go for it, how about a lewder sequel to the slab edit that follows the subservience contract idea ?>>78167343 >>78175439One where she's sitting somewhere, maybe in a different room of the slab this time, watching Hornet be used by the guards. It could have a dialog box with her asking if the spider will consider her offer of a "partnership" this time, or if she would rather ponder over it for a few more months.Or for something that you could use right now with the Citadel still in act 2, have her sitting on that Songaclave chair, holding the leash to her kneeling converted pet ?
>>78176091i wonder how strong flitslate+flea brew+Beast Crest could get
where the fuck do you get the ability that lets you reach upper bilewater man im pretty sure ive explored every other area its crazy
>>78177714im assuming you dont have the double jump? go left of the slab for it
>>78180642I really like seeing all the hornet art with all her doodads and equipment
I wanted colloseum of fools but full of skarrs soooo bad for all these yearsThey even capture other bugs in their cagesCarmelita is a fun boss but the ant presence in the game is negligable
>>78177911Yeah, but I just got it. Mount fay was the only area left I hadn't really touched, thought the freezing status may have been a clue to come back later.
>>78182126>>78180642She does have an absurd amount of equipment on her at all times. Limited only by how much space she has on her body/Crest.
>>78184241same thing happened to me, it seems pretty commonthey should have put one of those brazier hot zones within sight of the entrance so people didn't just go "Oh I need an upgrade I don't have for this"
>>78184241>>78185045>Mount Fey tricks more bugs than bile water, more at 11
>>78185045Eh its not really the game's fault. I'm a fairly cautious player and I won't push too far into new areas unless I'm 100% certain I'm equipped for them. Like that giant warrior ant blocking the entrance to hunters march; some players were freakbeasts and took him out early, but I got my ass beat a couple times and said "Fair. Respect." and fucked off somewhere else. lol
>>78185045>>78184241if you have Flintslate from Deep Docks you can use it as a temporary means to avoid chill damage
>>78187667That's awesome. I'll keep it in mind.
>Brat takes over the bed
>>78189729Lace sleeps on the floor or she doesn't get to eat. Simple as.
