So you can talk about it instead of playing it.
Why did it flop?
>>719804853Just got it on steam faggot, see ya later alligator!

It's just a simple game where you walk to the right and jump over enemies, what the fuck is wrong with normmongrels?

>>719804853I'm at work so I've only played it for like 5 minutes. The Steam Deck OLED is truly the best platform to experience Silksong.

>>719807026Does it have HDR support
>>719807026>not playing it on Nintendo Switch 2 instead
I would have bought it if the game was called Silkthong.
Is the first game really that good to warrant all the hype and 33 (as of this moment) different threads on /v/?

>>719807617Yes Its a direct sequel
Got baited into playing animal well not falling for it again
Music is like 10 times better than in the original. I think the composer thought that they were making shit nobody cares about with HK but here he realized that it's the most wishlisted game ever so he really tried
>>719807968Yeah bought the soundtrack bundle for this one
Bros... I beat PoH but I keep dying in Silksong...
>>719807617No, you likely burn yourself out, HK is too big and this one apparently is even bigger>>719807786It's not a sequel, so it's perfect for people that never played the original
Finished the game already. It's only 3 hours.Silksong dies in the endHollow Knight becomes evilYou control their son in the end

I'm getting filtered by the Bell Beast. Why am I so bad at videogames.
>>719805854I died once trying to get hornet's meme dive to work., the blud telegraphs every he wants to do, just stay in the middle of the screen so phase three can't cheese you with an unavoidable hit
>>719807548way to out yourself, retard
>>719808506>I'm getting filtered by the Bell Beast. Why am I so bad at videogames.It's defintely harder than HK, you're not bad you're getting better.
ive cleared out pretty much everything i could find up until the lace fightfound the ant merchant but i didnt buy anything off of him, the little throwing dagger seems fine enough to me for now, especially with the crafting kit buff. there's a secret wall off to the left in the big vertical area in the hunters march with the wind gust, gotta nail bounce and air dash to get up there early though.honestly the hardest thing so far has been the ant arena fight there shakra shows up to help, i died like 4 times just because of all the shit on screen
>>719808817Did you kill the mole?
>same shit as the first gameWhat the fuck. /v/ said this was going to be game of the century.
>>719808817How did the hell did you reach her that fast. How many hours have you clocked in?
is it just hollow knight but female? i enjoyed 1 play through of hollow knight
>can only equip the compass OR the magnet upgradeThis shit better get a second slot FAST
>>719804853I want to try but hollow knight bored me midway so I never finished it
>>719808817I just found Lace fight. Pretty hard but also quite fun fight so far
>>719808874havent seen anything like that so far, probably the 1 weird path i missed>>7198089903 hours or so, although my gamer sense about where to go is pretty on point so i didnt end up stuck or having to backtrack much
>>719804853Only bad thing about the game are the redditors farming reddit gold in the steam reviews
I'm playing on linux, GOG version, does anyone have issues on some cutscenes?Like the travel cutscene goes at 10fps and the sounds cuts off 2 seconds inthe same happened with the intro cutscene where the second half it was on mute and dropping frames like crazy
>>719809140>havent seen anything like that so farIt's located up and left to the bone village. You reach it from the place you get your first spider-power.It requires you to pogo off of two flies to reach it.The mole takes like 30 hits to kill and you can only hit it once before needing to hide from its attacks.There's a locked door in the area as well, I'm currently grinding beads to buy the key to it.
This is why they didn't let journalists have the game
>>719809281100%, journos are NOT ready for the platforming.
>>719809281I'm actually getting filtered by the fucking platforming in this game.That never happened in HK early on.

>>719809649Did HK do the same thing for the beetle ride animation?
I’ve never played Hollow Knights and I’m not going to play Silksong, but there’s a question about the game I’ve always wanted to know.They’re bugs, right? Does the game take place in somebody’s backyard? Or is this a fully fantastical world with no allusion to ours.
>>719809649Yeah first game is like that too for the fast travel, always stuck out.
>>719807446You can find the guy if you just keep exploring. It is sold to you like in the first hollow knight. If you die, stuff like enemies reset and you can rest on a bench and go back to where your silk corpse is, to farm money.
>>719809281>>719809370WHY DOES THE POGO HAVE TO GO IN AN ANGLE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>719809819>Or is this a fully fantastical world with no allusion to ours.It's this one.
>couldn't buy the game >pirated the game >bought the game >still playing the pirated copy because I can't figure out where the pirated copies saves are so I can transfer them to the legal copy
>>719808196>It's not a sequel, so it's perfect for people that never played the originalIt is way faster and better than original HK. going from silk song to hk will feel awful.
>>719804853Kill the niggers
kissy kissy woo~ hehekissy kissy!!! gonna take ur first kiss hehehhe!!
>>719809281Came to this thread to bitch about this and the FUCKING ANT ASSASINS if it had the alucard backdash it would be kino but this hunter's march shit is pissing me off
>>719809905https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Hollow_Knight:_Silksong#Save_game_data_locationBookmark this site. It will save your sanity in the future.
The game so far is significantly harder. If you didn't play HK, I could see someone getting frustrated very easily by SS. Many basic enemies hit for 2 hearts. I've also found one jumping puzzle section, and two sub-sections that I was able to reach by using the downward air poke on an enemyGreat so far.
Im just about done
DASH UNLOCKED BABY
>>719810016Yeah I am legitimately surprised at how much Ive died in this game.
goddamn I think I'm getting filtered by her
This shit is already "That Part">trying to get accustomed to the finicky divekick pogo for platforming over spikes>very aggressive enemies>single straight fucking line and the nearest bench is outside the areaI was having fun before this but I'm getting filtered so hard right now
>>719810086SHE CAN BOTH DASH AND RUN HOLY SHIIIIIT
How do I beat the marrow boss
where the fuck is my controller?Only the sticks work for some reason but not the buttonsTried enabling or disabling steam input
>>719810198you have to use prayer beads to unlock controller support
i killed the big spooger above bone bottom, it was mildly annoyingbeing able to edge-cancel heals and lose your resources is hilarious but i hope they patch it
>>719810283kek
>>719810124just dive attack, shes grounded 90% of the time
THE FLEAS ARE SO CUTE AAAAAAA
>>719810183the bell beast? you have to unlock silkspear first
>>719810086dash is found where?
>>719804853I VASTLY prefer the Knight’s pogo to Hornet’s weird diagonal spike. Chaining them to bounce off platforms is way more finicky than in HK.
>>719810086Bro spoil me.How long did you unlock it? 3 hours?
>>719810439Above lava area through the ant area.There's an arena you have to fight through.>>7198104833 hours sounds about right. I am taking my sweet time, however.
>>719810426no the one after. that does 2 hits or jump attack
The menu music and 'select setting' chime sounds like old Kingdom Hearts. Especially the jingle. I like it.
>>719809984Thanks but it doesn't seem to work for some reason. I started a new game on save file 2 on the steam copy, and it appears as a dat file right next to my pirated save in that folder, but I can't get it to actually appear when launching through steam
>>719810467yeah I'm gonna have to refund, this is hollow knight 0.5
>>719810086it's so great>>719810483pretty quickly, i think things aren't in a linear order
>>719810467>>719810597You can change her pogo
>>719810376Yea finally. Feels like facing Hornet for the first time in the first game (but significantly harder)
>>719810580Ah, that's a classic issue.You solve it by creating a new save, as you did, then deleting the file and replacing it with the pirated save while the game is open. Load the newly created save and it should load your pirated save instead of the original save (which you deleted).Does that make sense? Tell me if it doesn't.
>>719810467yeah it's greatpogo was so cheap in the first game that they had to make every boss jump high randomly so you couldn't spam it
>>719810086IS THERE A DASH JUMP
>when hornet moves from a stop, or turns, the animation is like Alucard from SOTNGOTY, I like little details.
Just beat the silk beast and still havent seen a point to shell shards other than the one donation thing in town once.Did I miss something?
>>719810747it's not a short-platform thing, at least easily, but yes.
How do I defeat the ding dong sneed worm
>>719809525Artificially lengthening the game by making players get distracted and die more often from Hornet's erotic featureless figure.
>>719810747Yes. https://cdn.steamusercontent.com/ugc/16031295940210192771/6D662F94F65077EF3188B25E248DC748751EE144/
>>719810858it's just the bushbug from the first gameit's attrition mostly
>>719810725I just figured it out before I saw your reply lol but I still appreciate it thank you
Why doesn't steam ban every award farmer from the forum? Every new game it's the same crap spammed ad hominem @STEAM @GABEnDO SOMETHING
I'm only like half an hour in but I like how vocal Hornet is. She even talks during dialog. Knight was this silent, efficient murder machine while Hornet is a complete opposite, she vocalizes all of her moves, the way she vaults over edges of platforms and "trips" when you switch moving left to right, she seems infinitely more emotive and almost "sloppy". Very different experience.
THE FUCKING TRAPPED BENCH LMAOFUCK YOU AUSTRALIAN KIKES
>>719810763I was just thinking that, the little backdash she does when you turn around looks so cool.THIS FAT FUCK AT THE START I'M NOT GONNA FIGHT HIM YET
journos are gonna cry about the bell beast aren't theyalso, the dash is very very good, you are more agile than the first game and also you can do a continuous sprint with it if you want. and the down slash move is very useful cause it's diagonal.
>>719810824You will find blacksmith who can craft tools and traps for you later. At least one of the trap requires shards to refill the gauge
>>719810995You're welcome, anon! It feels good seeing actual people together for once instead of the usual negativity bait shitposters.
>>719811042feels like the little monologue about the beast in the intro is gonna play off that
>>719808991Yes, you spend the first hour swiping on dating apps and deciding what food to have delivered
I’ve died like 3 times in an hour lol. Only once to a boss.
just played 2 hours of it and unlocked sprint abilityit sure is more hollow knighti do miss the pogo jumps tho
The dash+sprint feels sooo good brosThis is what HK needed traversal that feels funAnd the ledge grab jump is kino
>>719811086I've heard there are some games that steam encrypts the save file and you can't transfer saves from pirated copies, is that right?
When are they going to patch the game and add a proper downwards attack?
>>719809923grown man made this post
I left off after beating bell beast and I can’t play for another 6 hours…
>>719811265Not entirely; Steam doesn't do that as far as I'm aware, but developers can encrypt saves to prevent tampering.
combat is even more fun than the first game, because hornet is more agile and you even have new skills/unlocksthis and e33 will fight for goty probably.
>>719811292Unlock it ;)Im not joking btw
>>719810141I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD you finally reach the end and it's a goddamn TRAP BENCHI'm tilting so hard what the fuck kind of hateful monster designed this game
hornet is confirmed void?
>>719811405>customizable movesetGOD DAMNIT I WISH I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO RUN ERRANDS SOON
>use heal>FREN!based
>>719810467Think of it less like a pogo and more like a dive kick.
I like the spear
>>719811534It's "VREN", with a 'V'.
What the fuck was TC thinking making tjis game so much harder than the first oneI have beaten PoH and Im fucking dying to the first two areas
I had trouble with the Bell Beast. It's fucking over for me or what
>>719807446Team Cherry are retards that hate maps
>>719811631see >>719809848
>>719810141This seems like a mid-game area, I'm am actually shocked how precise the platforming is and how much health the enemies have here.
>>719811075Havent missed him yet though?So paranoid after the first game
what the fuck is wrong with the ants, jfc
>>719811664Doesn't change what I said. HK handled maps similarly and it was stupid
The normies are getting filtered lol
This fucker will filter millions.
>>719811483thanks for the warning friend, uninstalling it now
Hornet makes too many noisesIts honestly annoying
>prayer beads>sacred sound>pilgrimages>bellsIs this Hinduism or something?>>719811878It honestly gets my dick hard You can turn it off in the settings I think
ant area is kicking my ass
>>719811878ha huh hup hoo
>>719811628>he isn't in the 100%
ngl map bitches humming is fucking grating compared to cornifer
>>719811878I know, I can't play for more than 30 minutes without jerking off to her voice.
I'm getting filtered...
Please don’t have a boss rush at launchPlease don’t have a boss rush at launchPlease don’t have a boss rush at launch
>>719811878I'm already used to it. When OoT came out, I thought Link was annoying but I got used to that too.
>>719811939>hinduismgoogle "rosary" based retard-kun
the dash is really good, plus you can sprint all the time with it, and in the air you can get to the ground faster to get attacks in after a dodgehornet is basically like vergil and presumably you get much more than a dash in the game.
How do you get hornet to say SHAW?
>>719811265there are games where your steam id is in the save and pirated games use a steam emulator with a random id so if you put it into your real steam account it won't matchbut, there's usually a settings config file for the pirated games where you can setup the fake account to use your steam id so you won't have that problem
>>719812067Do you get iframes with the dash like in HK
>>719811665Motherfucker I had more fun playing the Path of Pain than trying to do this stupid fucking divekick platforming. I am about to throw everything I own out the window this game is infuriating. I know I'm going to log a thousand hours in it.
I died to a miniboss(?) like 4 times in a row
>>719809281These things are horrible
>>719804853i played and enjoyed the hell out of Hollow Knight years ago and I never understood the reverence and anticipation for "Silksong".simply put I do not give a shit about it.i'll play when i can get it for 5 bucks.
>>719812158the mole? yeah same
>map system is still dogshit, same as the first game>compass seems to be mutually exclusive with other yellow slot charmsWhy does Team Cherry insist on the map being fucking terrible?
Now that the dust has settledWhat is the first real filter of the game bros?
the game is very fun but it WILL filter the cuphead game journos who cant do basic movement.
Is it possible to buy the game now or are there still errors?
>>719811793Cope
>>719812067>first Vergil mention from someone who has played the gameI am validated
>>719812250What gave you the impression anyone here cares about your opinion?
>>719812328Yea you can buy it
>>719812296gps brain ngmi
>>719812158This guy?I ran past it at first then just hid under the last ledge
>>719812313the bell beast, if you dont wait to see if it jumps people will just get filtered assuming they dont dive attack it. it's a patience test not a dps test.
>>719811598shu up it's fren
not going to play until all missables list are out, i will not restart this shit again like hollow knight
>>719808990NTA but I reached the lace fight in less than 2 hours playtime, but I haven't encountered everything he mentioned.
>>719812058They're not just going to outright call them mala in a game made in English retard
How the hell do I get 25 Spine cores? I ran through the cave twice already and only have 11. There's no other ways to go, I can't leave until I get the poofy dress shown in the trailer
Ping me when someone discovers a cool skip
>>719812313The red jawbone bug who will punish you for running away
>>719812454No, some red thing
>>719812313Bell Beast killed me once by comboing me in phase two. It does double damage, but it’s telegraphed. It’s basically the same boss as moss charger but you can’t knock it back and there’s bouncing projectiles with the bells.
HORNET TALKS LIKE A HAGAND SHE KEEPS FUCKING CALLING BUGS SIRSI THOUGHT SHE WAS A TEENAGER
>>719812481Which missables were important in HK? Other than letting Zote die.
>people already got filtered by the easy as fuck Path of Pain that was only tricky at the very final partThese red pogo spots are going to FILTER millions.
>>719812597Anon she is a hag how could you think of her as a teenager
is there seriously no bench in the ant area before the mini boss encounter where map bitch helps? died twice but redoing the platforming encounter is pissing me off and i just fucked up and lost 200 beads
>>719811598More like /v/ren
>>719812597she respects old men
0001 vidya silksongs
Rate the soundtrack so far
I love how this game is more platformer focused.
>>719812597Hornet knows social etiquette, gutter trash like yourself wouldn't understand
Getting filtered by this nigga
>>719812707haven't gotten to hear enough yet but the first area sounded like Divinity Original Sin 2 and that's cool
>>719812676it's not that bad but i could see how if you're using a controller with a shitty d-pad (like xbox) it could be annoying
It can’t be THAT good, right?
protip: if you grab a ledge then press jump at the right time, you get a boosted jump.not necessary but it can be useful
>>719812701holy fvcking based
>>719812780that's high praise
>>719804940Bros?
>>719812770wait for him to jump, if he does run over then stab, if not, poke him once
>>719812770just stay near the low hanging part so he can't jump. hit him once, run away so he borrows, hit him when he pops up, repeat
How's the movement in Silksong? I liked Hollow Knight but it was way too slow.
Am i the only one who is disappointed? The dash is very clunky, down slash sucks and i hate the quest system. I feel like i came into the game not expecting anything revolutionary but i‘m still let down
>>719812816Ive actively starting to aim for the corner of ledges because popping up vertical sections using it feels great.
>>719812770Yeah it was hard to judge when to jump away or walk under him. He has a lot less health than you'd think though. Obviously spam all your throwing weapons into him right at the start then smack him like five or six times.
>>719812770The bit after him is very ‘fun’ as well
>>719812904i'm like two hours in and still don't have a dash so it feels extremely slow. i've heard you get one at some point though
>If you fail this jump where you entirely rely on enemy position you go back to the startWhat the fuck man
>>719812816>not necessaryThat's what you think
>>719812904the dash is now also a dash
>>719812904Faster but not as tight as i would like
So were all in agreement that they made Silksong harder right?I genuinely do not think I've had this much trouble with HK early on
>>719804853the only complaint I have is that i cant extend the spike attackgot me hit a few times because i kept expecting it to go further when holding it down
>>719812954Portrait of Ruin had quests too.
>>719812994there's an elevator right below you my guy
>>719804853Eatan my ramen and taking a break. So far it is breddy good. I shouldn't have replayed HK last week and should have just gone in fresh because the diagonal pogo took me way too long to adjust for since I was still in HK mode.
Where can I find the dash ability?
ai lai lai lai laimeshkare meshkarethe little red ants on the floor will carry off shell shards
>>719812994Don't worry about it. Even if you get to the other side, get passed the acid spitting bug, and actually get into the worm ways you can't progress since at the end of the first section of the worm ways there is a jump that is literally impossible to make without a dash or double jump. It's over a spiked pit with nothing to pogo off of.
>>719813089>[shit game] had quests too.That‘s not a good thing. Fetch quests don‘t suit hollow knight at all
A reminder that you heal in mid-air.
>>719813248>PoR>shitI should've realized you were just baiting.
Story-wise is it a sequel or a prequel?
>>719813258i honestly feel like this heal is all around easier than HKs
>>719813229>without a dashThe dash is only a little further into the game.
How old is hornet supposed to be? Hallownest looks like an ancient ruin and there's thousands of vessels in the abyss, and the old man at Dirtmouth doesn't remember it being populated. But some of the residents/ Dreamers are/were still alive. It's hard to get a sense of scale for how long the infection had taken over
Is the game map changing arbitrarily or was I always able to go directly to the docks and skip the hunter's march? I feel like I took a harder route than I was supposed to but I don't recall being able to platform across that lava bath when I first got to that edge of the marrow
its over....https://youtu.be/CiXQSGB-wIA?t=496
>Act 1 - PharloomBROSWHAT DID THEY MEAN BY THIS
>>719813327I'm getting hit a lot more in Silksong though.
aside from >>>style<<<, is there any benefit to flips over just jumping normally? the height seems the same, innit?
Why does jumping out of a dash feel so delayed
>>719813387Act 2 - Hallownest
>>719813353>How old is hornet supposed to be?Very, very old. Old enough that being called a child doesn't bother her.
>>719813313Sequel.
>>719813406Yeah it's a lot more difficult, about the same as Queen's Gardens starting out
>>719813413you dont need to land on the platform to do them, just grab the ledge

I see that parrying still works. Good.
>>719813569Literally just jump or go under him depending on what he does. What is wrong with you people

>>719813642They are so goddamn cute.
DLC when?
>>719813569if he charges you, jump over (or do a down slash over him if you can)if he burrows to to the other side to jump, run under him and then hit him before he digs again. if you stand in the right spot you can get 2 or even three hits off thatif he screams, he's gonna drop two bells you have to jump over, can hit him once if you're fast but a bit risky those are his only attacks, just have to know how to handle those and not get greedy
>>719813723Ever been to a church bro?
>>719813657works better, even. it gets rid of your attack's recovery.
0w0 what's this
Post your reaction to the Hollow Knight boss
>>719813723Well everyone I’ve seen so far are pilgrims
The diagonal pogo is complete ass. I finally got the first crest that gives you a normal pogo and I'm never switching back.
>>719813643Just got that myself. That whole area is up there for being most annoying. Fuckers wont come down and its a climb up using the shitty downwards pogo strike.
jfc I’m getting filtered. Long platforming section into an enemy rush is tough
Anyone remember what screen this is on? I want to go back here since this jump seemed impossible before. Now I can do it with the hover.

>>719814119Oh I fucking hated that part. Especially after that fat red fuck miniboss.I THINK it's skippable, if you take the alternate route out of the right hand side of The Marrow and directly into Deep Docks.You get your dodge there which makes movement in the air much easier
>equip the magnet>the spikes now delete the beadsfor what purpose?also, why is there a limit on the shards too
>2 speedrun achievements
I'm bored alreadywhen does this get fun?I'm about go over 2 hours refund limit
If journalist played this game, it would be funny
Buy now or wait for a sale?
>>719814126It's not impossible without the hover, I did it without the hover. IDK where it is in Hunter's.
>>719814341>why is there a limit on the shards toobecause they're hearts
Game time!
>>719804853Uhhh im 1 boss in and I can't enjoy this game now unless I beat hollow knight because I have no idea wtf is going on.
How’s performance?
>>719814496I beat hollow knight and have no idea what's going on. I did not beat the dlc before I lost my save though. what did I miss gang?
>>719814387Depends if you want to be part of a major cultural moment in videogames
WHEN IS THE CRACK
>>719804853Is /v hating on the game because it's popular, and /v can't help but be contrarian?
How the fuck do you beat the big red berserker boss?I guess you run under him when he leap swings and run away when he normal swings but his startups for both are identical
>>719814593this is not an argument at all. how many major cultural moments in video games do you remember retard?
>>719814629i downloaded a portable 2 hours ago wdym
>>719814629holy newfag
How is the nonlinearity so far?Did we any of you reach the mantis claw moment yet
>>719814167Oh thanks, I was wondering how to beat that.
>can jump half a screen and swing for additional 30%>can randomly swing from the groundam I just not getting something? how tf do you actually avoid his shit? there's no tell if he's jumping or just swinging
>compass that says it'll show my position on the map>buy it>it doesn't show shitWhoop de' fuck
>>719804853They retcon Hornet into a lesbian?
>>719814807I cheesed him by making him constantly dig
>>719814841yesmaybe they'll retcon you into a man next
fucking cheeky cunts
>>719814828You have to equip it
>Giant axe boss is absurdly hard>A million miles away from a benchWHELP
wtf does this even do?
>>719814969It's a dedicated taunt button.
>>719814917oh. weird. nothing else you buy from her needs to be equipped though right. Pretty sure everything else i got from her just applied itself to the map.
>>719814376Should have pirated it, dumb ass
>just fucking died to a ledge grabthe moment I saw it has ledge grabs in the trailer I fucking knew that would happenalso>can only equip compass OR currency magnetTeam Cherry outdid themselves
>Dead end here>other way is blocked by a big spider stuck in some webs Where the fuck do I go? Why is team cherry so terrible at guiding the player? You think after an hour youd get some new exciting power up that would get the ball rolling on where to go next.
>>719814376retard
Jesus christ what is with this games bosses dealing 2 hit points this early on? Im like 4hrs into the game and only got 1/4 hp up shards. Is Hornet really this pathetic?
>>719804853Died to the bell beast 3 times but on the 4th try I got him.Now there is the question of the 3rd Mossberry. I gained one early on. I saw another one too high up to reach. And the 3rd was in a secret area right near the quest giver.Now that I have r1 spear maybe I can go down and jump and spear the seed from the side. But I have a feeling I will need another ability.I have some rosaries now and bought the first 2 maps from the lady. But now I beat the beast and she moved. Man. I just wanna have my compass without farming for it.
Anyone else having trouble with map on gamepad?I can easily remap the key, but pressing it in game does fuckallWorks fine on keyboard
>>719804853>Lacks the gloomy atmosphere of Hollow Knight>Not a single "Shaw!" yetI'm not feelin' it, sisters...

>>719814629pay your EMPRESS what she fucking deserves
>diagonal attacksWhy?
>>719815138go to the left of the spider
>>719815138you just have to not be blind and forgetful
>>719815202Which gamepad? only xbox and playstation ones are supported. if you are using anything else, you need probably xpadder.
>>719815138Go to big spider stuck in webs and go left and up. Get r1 ability to open webs. Profit

>always jump to heal because I prefer the animation
>>719814660>>719814660Stand still before his tells (poke once, then FREEZE), jump away if he does the two-swing tell, run under if he does the jump. If you’re moving away when he does the jump, you’re already fucked.

Bros...Where is the city of tears moment???
>>719804853downloading nowI'll go ghost for a week cause I know you /v/iggers are itching to spoil everyone
>>719815230unironically though, for games like this it's difficult as fuck to give directions to those asking for help because of it's level design.
>>719815483No city, just our tears of frustration
Just did the Lace fight and the game already feels so much more fluid than HK, I think I'm in for a wild ride
>>719815138ABSOLUTE RETARD REFUND
>>719815509what spoil? It's just a low iq metroidvania
>>719815464so we agree if you get dash before beating her you didn't beat her right?
>>719815269>>719815321thx anons>>719815284I have a bad sense of direction, but Ive beaten other metroidvanias without problem. HK and this game just look so samey everywhere you go it all blends together.
dont stab his face, use the wind and go up.
>die in the transition room due to the pots spawning a projectile>the ghost just doesn't spawn despite the map saying it's there and I lost all my money shit game
>>719815327usually the steam peak is in about 19 hours (or was 5 hours ago, an hour before the game released)
>>719815509here is a spoiler just for you anon...the gamealso snape kills dumbledore
>>719814629Right now, the game is virtual crack
>>719815550uhhh you literally have to get dash to beat her
>>719815649Try hitting the walls or the insides of the transitions.
>>719814905The lack of other nearby _______benches_____ makes that such a fucking cruel trick
>>719815509What's there to spoil? This shit doesn't have a story
I can’t wait to get the mark of pride equivalent
>>719804853Didn't even finish the first oneI remember beating a boss that looks just like that character on the cover here and shortly after I got bored and quitBraindead kidslop
I'm sorry but what the FUCK happens if you don't accept the cloak quest? Is it fucking game over? How do you get out?
>normies and anons getting filtered by the fucking bell bosspales in comparison to this bastard.
boring
where do i go to spend shell shardsi'm maxed out and can't find a vendor
That asshole above the prison blocking the way to Hunter's Marsh is a CRAZY difficulty spike. Wonder if you're meant to come back later with more skills instead of pogoing behind him over and over like I had to.
the glide + air traversal is pretty f'n cool, that plus the better dash and even early game mobility is a big step up over the first game.also, you can perma run with the dash, no need for crystal heart to do fast traversal.
>>719815936im there now, pretty sure its balanced around having dash
Bros... the retard above the prison is too strong for me...
>>719815856enjoy your ADHD zoomer games
getting filtered by the platforming
DING DING DING
>>719814126in the ant area, get to the long vertical area with the wind blowing in the middle. it's the bottom right passage
>>719815936He really wasn't that hard, I bursted him down with the spear and he only attacked like 4 timesThe area after him is a bitch though.

ATTENTION GAMERSI must inform you that the images presented in this game depicts a FEMALE main character under the context of fantasy-action. The game is WOKE. Do not play this game.
>game locks you in an area until you collect 25 needlesAre they serious with this shit?
>>719816008Silksong
>>719816037
>>719814807if this fucker shows up as a normal enemy later on and you DON'T get void dash in this game I'm sending a dead pig to team cherry's office
Guys I'm fucking trapped in this zone, There's a bug that offers a cloak upgrade for better movement but without it I can't get out and I have to grind fucking 25 things! Is there a way out I'm not seeing?
I am scared of the late game difficulty bros
I bought it for my mother because she liked Hollow Knight.How is it difficulty-wise? Easier or Harder than Hollow Knight?
>>719816308Harder.
it's really fun, but I wonder how crazy things will get with the movement options you have now.
>>719816176wrong game kid
>>719815723didn't work, I bought the map and it seems like it fucking spawned behind the door you can only open from the other side, pretty bullshit
am i supposed to figure out how to use the air vents or is it some ability i don't have yet
FUCK THIS BOSS>FUCK THIS BOSSJesus christ it took me at least 10 tries to get it right.
It‘s genuinely shit. I can‘t believe it. 6 years of waiting for this.
>>719816093Genuine question, is there actually any woke shit pushed into the game? I've seen nothing so far which is good.
>>719816167it's like 5 minutes anonbut yeah it feels very shitty mmorpg quest
>>719816343Are we going to pretend this is not Metroid for zoommutts who grew up with mobile tier games?You are 28, you are a fucking loser and a ritual poster. Kill yourself you stupid nigger mutt.
Okay someone spoil me for anyone who tried itIs it worth grinding for the simple key to unlock THAT spotThe one with the vomitYou know the one
>>719815116Compass is completely unnecessary if you have any kind of basic map reading ability
How is the soundtrack? Is it so good that the bundle is worth it?
Time for classical pogo action.
The ants DON'T fuck around
>the soundtrack is one of the best selling items on steam as wellWhat the fuckThis is the first time ive seen that sort of stuff
Never played this game but checking steamdb.info>original hollow knight game peak ~70K>this release peaks over ~530Kthat's huge, maybe I'm not young enough to see this as the gem it is but its impressive that apparently only 3 people worked on this and it turned out to be a bigger success than their last game.goes to show you don't need AAA, just a dedicated enough fan base
>>719816470Idk but did you kill the mole? He drops a big chunk.
>>719813313Prequel
>>719810421AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>719816626>I'm not young enough to see this as the gem itBecause it is not. Being ignorant is not bliss. Zoomers are unironically killing the industry
why does she sit like that
>>719816626Also helps that the game runs flawlessly in 2025
Should I just give up? Failed Bell Beast for 30 minutes.
>>719816626>just a dedicated enough fan baseNo, you just need to make a GOOD FUCKING GAMEThat's ALL it takes
i am glad i am a platforming god, those red bulbs are going to piss so many casuals off

>>719816472Fuck you cunt-head. It's impossible to tell where you are without a marker.
>>719804853it's disappointing so far. more of the same shit. no innovation
>>719816692You're probably out of the target age range too, then.Not everything has to appeal to people who've already played games, this might be someone focal point rn growing up. Games like these are like indie studios not relying on hollywood to give them coverage and being some kind of reviewer saying "Actually it sucks" doesn't mean anything.
I was determined and extremely early on I killed that ceiling spitter boss on the top left of the map near the beginning. It was worth it because the eventual reward (you need a simple key, grind for it.) is a crest to give to us new combat moveset, and remove the angled down attack
Jesus fucking christ finally. I know I'm rusty and I was probably supposed to do this fight later, but TC isn't pulling any punches.
>>719816703Because she's a sophisticated lady.
>>719816453>admitted being millennialwell now grandpa how about i put you down on a coach and give you a pong game?
>>719816892I also just beat him, definitely an annoying fucker when 2 hits of contact damage basically kills you
>>719816847Zoomers are killing gaming. Games shouldn't appeal to everyone, Silksong appeals to everyone. Mobile tier garbage, stop being such a fucking nigger. Your kid is also a failure
>>719804940steam sabotaged it. if orders actually went through it'd be at 1 milly+, easily.
>>719814463Moonlight?
How OP can you get before fighting the first boss?
THE OST IS GOD TIER It reminds me of Skyrim, Hollow Knights was good but this is so much better it's as if Christopher Larkin has been possessed
THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING 4CHAN!??I ALMOST HAD AND HEART ATTACK!
What does the taunt do exactly? Haven't tested it much yet?
>>719816626reputation is not something you can buy with money
>>719816919Nothing wrong with being a part of the greatest generation to ever live instead of being a fucking mutated zoomer nigger. Straight up skipping your generation all the way to the Alphas. You are already out of time, out of future and out of cultural relevance.
>>719816857Killed the thing but didn’t buy key. Will now.
I FOUND THE MANTIS CLAW MOMENT
SHAW
Why is tiny male x tall woman so hot?
How do I grind for rosaries?
>>719815936>Wonder if you're meant to come back later with more skillsThe game doesn't lock you into the room when you encounter him, 100% intended to make you shit yourself when you first run into him but burn him into your brain for later
>>719817090what
>>719817138Go to the bench where the map lady was the first time. Go left of the bench, and just do a loop. There are 5 pilgrim bugs to kill. It'll take maybe 10 minutes to grind out 500 beads but it's worth it. You're looking for a graveyard.
So can you even SHAW? I know you can GARAMA with R3
>>719817071Is it bombastic you stupid nigger? super bombastic ost
>>719816964The beast crest seems cool but the down pogo is even worse than the default, which sucks there's a lot of platforming based on it.
I need a mild spoiler.Normally, I leave sidequests til endgame, because it gives me something to do once I have the “main kit” fleshed out. But I’m worried the non-divekick down slash is locked behind a sidequest.If it is, which one? I NEED that shit. That becomes priority one.
>>719804853i keep losing my rosary beads in parts of the map i havent discovered yet
>>719809281because of rose cunny?

>>719814807Honestly that whole zone is kind of ass like I know they want you to get gud at pogoing but to put pits under ALLof them is kind of ass
>>719816964>>719817325Oh jesus fuck team cherry you fucking morons, don't automatically swap fighting styles without a bench. The new moveset's down spike for platforming is entirely different and now its all fucked

>>719817338I am literally on the catalog and there's nothing but a truckload of silksong threadsanon are you ok
uhh.. anons.. where to go?only place that I can go seems like is the simple key spot but no way that is the proper way to progress
>>719817353>silksong>ADHD gametell me more of your good jokes, anon
>>719817109For a guy that keeps posturing about how great he is for being born earlier you sound like a massive weepy faggot. Is silksong’s success really making you that mad?
WHEN AND WHERE CAN I UPGRADE MY NEEDLE DAMAGEi have two ores.
>>719817292Thanks.You also found the mask shard before the door?
Fucking Bell Worm fucks me over without a DashI swear Hornet had a Dash in HK
What the FUCK is that at the bottom right of the catalog?
Jesus fuck how big is this game? I just got to Lace and am I right in assuming this is essentially just the first Hornet fight pacing wise?
>>719817450Silktrash is just a symptom of a dying industry. You know it's boring, repetitive and moves like a mobile game.
>>719817401Try to open it from the thread.
>>719817401Bottom right.>>719817090It spooked me too.
>>719807372I'm playing on the ally at 120fps.Also own a switch 2, but that screen is so shit for side scrollers.Also I'm playing via gamepass :^)
>>719817431mosshome to the top of the spike thing on the map
I cant do the boss that just hits you with the bone in front of him for 2 masks.Too slow to move underneath him when he jumps.Pogo is retarded and doesnt give you enough momentum to go past him, his attack also hits you mid air.Is this a case of go back here later? Like what the fuck this is harder than all of HK, like fighting watcher knights on speedrun with 0 upgrades.
reminder you can hold the glide and then dive attack, for when you get to balloon land.
>>719817107Doesn't it just give you a little silk?
>>719817287Coward shit. Beat him and just did the fight with mapwife too. I will bang my head against and wall you put in front of me. I will NEVER come back later.
USE YOUR CONSUMABLES YOU RETARDSTHE GAME SHITS OUT SHARDS FOR A REASON
I do not care for Hornet's divekick.
HOW TO I GET MORE ROSARIESI NEED MOREMORE
>>719817431Rights side of beast bossfight
>>719817584I was spooked by SHAAAAW, not her sprite.
I am crashing the fuck out in this area right now. Is there another route I can take or somethign other than hunter's march? The pogoing is already fucking hard and then the room at the end where you fight with the map shopkeeper just kills me every time.
>>719817656beast.. huh?i only had moss mother lol
>>719817639I can already tell it's going to be the #1 complaint. Feels like I'm being forced to use the reaper crest because it has a functional down pogo.
>>719817639I find it incredibly fun and the flip she does after hit is sex
>>719817606He's 100% a "come back later", the zone behind him is a massive difficulty spike compared to the one you get to by going to the bottom right, but he's beatable. Just pogo behind him as soon as he pops up and let him swing at air. Only trick is not getting corner trapped.
>>719817691its super easy on keyboard
>>719815936It feels like you should have a dash of some kind because if you attack him and you go right after he digs you’re pretty much fucked
>>719816964>contact damageHow is this shit still a thing in 2025?
>>719817731Literally top-right of where you are located.Apologies for the spoiler.
How do I acquire the float ability? Feels like I'm softlocked in the lava area. Can't go back without it.
he cute
>>719811042Hmm. I liked HK's silent protag thing.
>>719817639Its so fucking awful but feels like its requires to learn eventually.Its genuinely the worst part of silksong, i'd rather have no pogo than this shit and game made with no pogo in minds like all metroidvanias.Although pogo is what made HK special. For me at least, its hillarious.
>>719817691You just have to git gud, also no fucking benches after that so if you’re low hp then you’re fucked
>>719817691Deep Docks first. Go down to the bottom from where you entered in the Marrow.
>>719817691sounds like you need to use keyboard.
>>719817431did u fight the Bell beast nigger? its that huge Bell on the map i think, upper right
How are you nigs so far in already?
>>719817329This isn't the Blasphemous thread.
>>719817795the purrs he does while sleeping are too much for my heart, even controller vibrates
>>719817795DONOTHITHIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>719817795It also barks when you come back after not seeing it
I honestly quit when they told me to farm 25 common enemies to progress. That's some Ubisoft-level bullshit. What retard thought it's a good idea to add monster farming quest in a fucking platformer? And the worst thing is that these enemies only start dropping the item after you take the quest.
>>719817776Yeah. You can do it by staying behind him after pogoing over his head but feels like you should be dashing through.
>boss hits for 2 damageartificial difficulty
>dash lunge>into diagonal pogo>into regular attackKINOOOOOOOOO
ooooo aaaiee lee laei laei laei
>>719817946Just avoid the hit.
>>719817946Well you heal for 3 now.Every boss being ascended difficulty is funny
I literally just bought the game because it was $20 to fuel some shit slinging on /v/ but this game is decent. However I feel I should play the first one as I am not getting some of the story.
HOLY FUCKING SHITLORE IMPLICATIONS?????
>>719810141Wait until you find the bench in Hunters March cunt
>>719817431retard problem solved>>719817603i had somehow completely missed the silkspear shit
im at shellwood fighting sister splinter and it feels like ive missed so much shit. I havnt found the needlesmith, ive only found 2 mask shards, and i have a single skill and only 1 red, 1 blue, and 2 yellow tools. according to achievements ive unlocked 5/10 fast travel locations so I assume im at least a decent chunk through the game but I havnt gained a tangible upgrade in power in hours and the bosses that im facing seem tuned for a higher progression characterhave i missed an area or is the progression curve really this wonky
I HATE ANTS I HATE ANTS I HATE ANTS
>>719818030LIFE BLOOD MEANS VOID????
>Hollow Knights pale ore equivalent for Silksong >metal you use for crafting >it's called "craftmetal" How long did it take you to realize Team Cherry were the biggest hacks of all time
>>719817946>artificial difficulty
>>719818071You can't absorb it, so there's most likely a connection.
really not a fan of these diagonal only down strikes and 3 mask healing
how do you beat the huge ant guy in the marrow? do I need more abilities to dodge through its attacks?
>>719818050How the fuck are you far in already
>>719818030what are you supposed to do with this? I hit it, it explodes, but then does nothing
>>719817691The beast temple thing? Dont bother, the 'reward' is a shitty crest
>>719811043
>>719818085Pale ore was metal touched by Radiance.Craftmetal is simply metal that is useful for crafting.
Where do we unlock the bestiary?
>>719818167All of my instincts tell me you can't beat him without a dash.
>>719818050How nonlinear is the game after Lace?
>>719818167git gud
I love ledge grab jump, I usually hate ledge grabs because of being locked into them but the jump fixes everything.
>>719818191Probably a lore/true ending thing for later on.
>>719818245at a bar in the rainy area. just keep going, its impossible to miss.
>>719817874They got the key early bypassing steam store death, and now really want to post cool shit on 4chan for (you)s, so speeding through. Get ready for whining and complaining when they finish the game tomorrow evening.
>>719818140you can find crests which change your moveset. when you get to greymoor go all the way to the left and you will find a place called the chapel of the reaper. clear it and you get the reapers crest which makes your attacks slower, attack in a wider arc, and changes your down swing to be basically the same as hollowknights
>>719817874i like playing games before streamers so i can watch them play
>>719818248its impossible to know for sure but I havnt noticed a big change in linearity.
There’s 28 areas in the game? That’s massive.
>>719817898>everything is about pilgrims and rosary beadsit is now
Uhh, I don't think these cheevo numbers quite add up bros
>>719818167>>719818246you can beat him, you just need to focus on divekicking him when he surfaces and either run out of range or get behind him, and keep baiting that move
bro where the FUCK is the map nigger if you missed him?
>>719818050Depends. Did you get both crests aka new movesets and charm slots? Also a few vendors you probably missed
>>719818167>>719818246you are intended to beat him after you unlock the skill to free him. hes this games stag beetle and opens up fast travel after you beat him. just focus on the pogo and running underneath him when he jumps
>>719812329Real cope comment ngl
If you hold down dash you sprint.
>shakra's music is nowhere as catchy as cornifer'sshit game
>>719818618I got the crest but no new charm slots. I got baited into buying the tool pouch from the one vendor that you have to pay to access every time thinking it was another slot but it appears to do nothing until i get more red tools i think?
>>719818645We're not talking about Bell Beast
>>719818167Ignore all of those anons, rush in and smack him 5 times before he can attack and then lure him under the entrance with the low ceiling. It completely removes his ability to use the jump attack.
>>719818770Charm slots are from Memory Lockets. Either in shop or found in world.
>>719817791Found it. You gotta hit the spikes to collect them and finish the quest.
Am I an idiot, where the Fleamaster
>>719817460Let me know if you find out anon I've been scouring for an answer to this
>>719818645talking about the ant warrior with the giant bone club that seems to be guarding the entrance to the coral forest

Harder than Failed Champion.
>>719818896marrow. there's a giant sign with a flea symbol
>>719818986See>>719818829
pogo being diagonal might have been the best change. completely exposed the frauds who relied on it so much
jsut 2nd tried lace. are u guys having trouble with this one lmao its the most hollow knight boss ive seen yet
>>719819076sadly you unlock normal pogo early on
>>719818995I know its in the Marrow, but I’ve gone left and right of the Bell Beast and I haven’t seen him
>>719819076The first games pogo was definitely too easyBecame such a fucking crutch
>>719819105I killed it first try and I was very surprised at how easy it was, considering I've died 3-5 times to every other boss.
