Hey! I brought some Courier's Rasher for the new threa--
>>78516705Time to go back to Tipp and Pill.
>>78516705KEK
>>78516705>my successful run I was maybe 2-3 seconds away from failing>had to do the clawline jumping for giga momentum>forgot I had the silk bracers or flea brewIt's part of the experience, at least it wasn't the flower quest
>>78516184I like her but the thing is, like a lot of other stuff, she's entirely missable for most people. You can't forget that the game doesn't really tell you or hint that she actually exists, the path to get to her is one with very little precedent as it requires you to get taken up by several of those vine enemies, and then on top of it there's a chance to just not need her if you find the fleas on your own or just use an online map. Then to top it off, she really doesn't go on to do much, while she heralds the flea games most people are seemingly only just reaching even lost Lace and the 3rd ending, kinda hard to expect people to know her when most probably never even got that far. Hell nobody really even recalls our little moss hider because she's extremely missable and unlike many doesn't seem to add anything specific since she has no items and no known quest either.You could argue much the same for those Steel Soul exclusive characters too as we have another female metal bug and nobody does much for her currently either
>>78517987The funny thing is I found out from Mooshka that he'll quest you to find her because "the caravan needs protection". But this'll happen only if you get them to Fleatopia first.
>>78518054That's another thing too: Fleatopia is a pain in the ass to go to meaning straight up people go there and then just never go back after it unlocks the first time unless they want more flea brew which is then free. I'm honestly curious how many even have the fully refined nail since the last oil comes from beating their games. Steam says only 27% actually got the final gift from the fleas
>>78518157Putrefied Ducts was an interesting area for me because it felt very tacked on. There's really not much going on there - it has 1 true entry point from the Memorium (since the Bilewater entrance only gets you to the Huntress because you can't break the wall from that side). Sands of Karak felt similarly empty.Obviously not every area's gonna be big like Greymoor or City of Tears.But, the final gift from the fleas for 100% fleas is the Egg of Flealia charm.
Do you think the DLC will be similar to HK? or will they go a different direction?
>>78518595the godhome equivalent and steel assassins are a must
>>78518595Here’s hoping they are inspired by all the bellhome fanart and expand on that alongside a dating sim mechanic. I want a treasure room for the bell, one that lets you swim in a pool of rosaries.
>>78518595Well since they already opened the doors for dreamland time-travel they could always do more with that.Also Pharloom Bay, we were fucking robbed with that one.
>>78518657>>78518760I'd like a pantheon-like dlc that expanded some fights, like Phantom for example, it'd be cool to see them at their prime when they weren't fucking dying of silk aids>>78518684A second Bellhome to lock Lace in when she misbehaves
>>78518595Do I think it will be similar? Well I hope we get some stupid bullshit like grey prince Zote and the path of pain ASAP.
>>78519208No please, no grey prince Zote, anything but that bullshit
>>78519114>Phantom for examplePhantom absolutely needs the Pure Vessel treatment or something.Also some kind of double battle vs Phantom and Lace together would be sick. Same for the pinstresses.
Mooshka mentions a flea somewhere in the ducts that would provide good defense. Anyone know where they are ? Scraped this area a few times and no luck.
>>78519114Grandma was kind of a pushover. I need to see an expanded fight.
>>78519611When the barnacles from half life grab you, you can wait for them to pull you up before mashing out with some pretty remarkable precision. Maybe you could get to some new places with their help.
>>78519644Dang. Thats so sneaky. Guess I'll go and let them grab me...
>>78520816Sick
>>78519114>>78519575
>>78523516She wasn't a great thinker
>>78518595>>78523542Seeing what Bilewater used to look like would be cool for a dlc.
I don't remember who said it, but I recall someone referring to the "mainland" which I thought was interesting.
>>78524193It was just called "cleanwater"
Okay damn there is like a ton of missable shit in act 3 they don't really point you towards at all. Such an intimidating chapter.
>>78516654Does anyone have any tips for flea bounce? I got juggle and dodge but beating Seth's score for bounce is fucking killing me.
>>78527481double jump helped me pace it while staying in the center of the arena so I could maintain my timing. Also ignoring Kratt because it felt like bait
>>78527481Use witch crest and take it slow. There's no penalty for missing fleas, and they'll always pass through the center, so focus on maintaining your own positioning.
Just to bring something different to the thread, I found a really good prequel fic for Silksong. https://archiveofourown.org/works/71929151/chapters/187231786Not porn or romance related for once, is AU-ish but apparently ( havent read the HK story that precedes this one) not to the point of changing Hornet's origin or the setting, and has a mature writing style and dialogue that matches the game's setting.
>>78528172First sentence in and i'm alredy going insanehttps://youtu.be/-vFWHUMM8aA?si=WZLYBMD5Xq8gZH5S
>>78518595I don't think the DLC will be too different, unless they make like a quest pack one where there is like, 20 more wishes to do I guess.I'd love another Grimm DLC story tho.
>>78528204>what Lost Lace sees after getting beaten by Hornet on a Steelsoul runhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLt5Vw5u2YM
Marry her and take responsibility
>>78531026Silksong confirmed for Kingdom Hearts 4????
>>78516654
I just love the amount of artwork we're getting.
Förebröthers
>>78535602Everyone loves the mario-luigi dynamic
>>78535786Now I can imagine them doing this to you and recoiling from the thought.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSDGuQSd99c
>>78535981pretty much how my first encounter with them went
>>78536986God, I want to play the Mario & Luigi games again, but I can't make the time for it.
rate my fic so far
>>78518595I honestly hope they don't do pantheons. In HK you either used a nail-focused or a caster focused build, and both pretty much worked for everything. The whole point of Silksong's bosses is that you can change your kit out to suit the needs of the fight; one build very much does not fit all, so unless you can swap stuff around between every fight it's gonna suck ass to fight back-to-back bosses.
>>78538653>imagine fighting Savage Beastfly 2, Groal, and Lace 2 back to back with the same setup.
>>78518595What if they added a roguelite dungeon mode>>78538653What if they did specific gauntlets for specific crests or something like that?
>>78538608> PapyrusNYEH HEH HEH!
>>78538653>>78538766If they do bring a boss rush of some type I highly doubt it'll be done the same it was in HK, while they share similar traits, HK and Silksong play very differently, and as >>78538763 said, some combination of bosses would be a slog without being able to change your equipment between fight. They might change it up in some way, but they'd definitely gonna give us a way to fight specific bosses whenever we want, I want to fight Karmelita and Lace more without having to go through the whole game or load up a previous save
>>78538763>No tool refills.It would be horrible. I am so ready.
Damn it!I really don't think I'm going to be able to do this without being able to practice specific bosses.
>>78539327just use the old alt+f4 method before you die
>>78539360Then I get no gamer cred for finishing it though?
>>78539618Inheriting that phat ass was the reason Lace was the favored daughter over Phantom.
My goat should have been recruitable or at least have given you a unique taunt like how Shakra gives you one for her rings
>>78540791if you have the mirrors equipped you get a unique bind animation
>>78540879Not the same, I should be able to hear Hornet yell her name loud as fuck on command
>>78541051Now I want it too.
>>78541051I found something simmilarhttps://x.com/Tmasutake/status/1975808414417829925?t=J5Pv4DAZSzqg7QW2K6PmNQ&s=19
>>78542174They don't yell Trobbio yet though Anon
>>78542174Cute. These make Hornet look like a massive fangirl.
>>78542174>don’t squeak out a tiny “trobbioooooo” when deployed1/10
>>78542191>>78543277https://x.com/Tmasutake/status/1975858663287054558
i'm the only one who finds this thing hot?
>>78544198Yes
>>78544376Godhome double battle RIGHT NOW team cherry
I love scrounge
>>78528638Who's the father tho?
>>78545913Shakra is one of those parasitic wasps and she implanted her eggs in Hornet.
>>78545913
>>78546610Not possible, check the game
>>78546641Not sure what you mean.gy8pt
Some more fuckin' around with sprites before i make something bigger>"I'LL KILL YOU SPIDER, YOU AND YOUR STUPIDLY TALL FRIEND">"...put her down"
>>78544198PLANT BLOWJOB WOO WOO
>>78547494Hornet has been freed!
>>78547494This. I like this. Never thought I’d say this but I think I want sprite comics to be a thing again.
No dialog box ?
>>78555697Forgot quote>>78547494
Does silksong even have a battle colosseum ? i dont think there's much map left for me to uncover in act 3...
>>78557373None so far that I found, and I 100% it.
