Every boss seems to deal 2 mask damage, the room challenges are fucking retarded (pic related was fucking disgusting), the massive hunter's march section without a bench was harder than path of pain, and normal enemies like the scissor wielding guys would be midgame bosses in hollow knight. Team cherry is 100% gonna tone down the difficulty later on.
Just don't get hit.You control the buttons you press.
>>719838591You're not supposed to head to Hunter's March.
>post nerfyou didn't beat the game
Its pretty rough, just beat Skull Tyrant and fucker must have taken over 50 hits from my basic nail.
>>719838878I almost got memed into buying it due to /v/ at the moment. until I saw how many hits shit takes to die. Holy fuck interest dropped immediately
>>719839210I mean I might just be a retard and missed my basic weapon upgrade, I feel like I should have found one by now but I have not.
>>719838591Get good.
>>719838687Ever?
>>719838591the bigger issue is that everything has bloated ass HP for no fucking reason>fight widow for 3+ minutes>kill her>lol faggot that was only phase 1 btw phase 2 has the same amount of health as phase 1it's just stupid.
>>719838591Git gud.
>>719838591Give it a few days and look up guides. Let the Conquerors pave the way.
>>719838685I'm about to control my dick in ur ass faggit.
>>719839473Idk about upgrades but I watched some early bosses on YouTube and the videos were literally like 5 minutes of dodging the same moves. It looks like shit takes forever.
>>719840632yeah, that's my biggest complaint with the game so far. fourth chorus especially, that boss takes absolutely zero effort to dodge but his "fight" is arbitrarily drawn out because he has a bajillion hp.
>>719838591Sounds good, great even
>>719838591it IS too hard. But nowdays we cant complain about difficult anymore because of the git gud tards. Its fucking boring, bosses take forever to die
>>719838591>>719839210>>719841227Obviously TC was assuming several million players of the first game had 6 years to get good enough to beat the pantheon, and I respect that. If it was too easy and didn't elevate the skill ceiling within the same combat design from the first game, people would be dunking on it for that.
>everyone creaming themselves over hunters marchthe enemies were tanky but i mostly had no issue going there as soon as possible. i guess this is what p5 all bindings does to a nigga>>719841227My bosses have been dying in 1-2 minutesThis is like hollow knight 1, if you can land hits very frequently and make the most out of all enemy attacks you can kill them very fast. In the early game im using the spike trap and it deals sexcellent damage
The savage beastfly has me raging and Im not usually one to get pissy at video games. This fight blows so much and is honestly making me not want to play the game.
where are the fucking nail upgrades for fucks sake
>>719838591Yep, they fucked up and the game is too hard, no wonder it's flopping.
>>719840632normies get what they deserve for praising elden ring. you want more of that shit? here you go.
is moorwing the first great filterer? Besides the easy diagonal pogos anyway. It was the first boss where I actually had to learn the cues. I’m playing on keyboard as god intended.
>>719841227This was 100% the case for like, every single boss they added to HK after it launched but you weren’t allowed to say anything bad about difficult content ever.
>>719840632youtubers arent very good at the game>>719840795his hp is too high but you can kill him in 2 minutesuse the spike trap btw its damage is sexy
>>719846541Grimm is kino and you're a pleb.
frrrrggggggggggggggg rrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhh
Can someone tell me where the fuck the map seller in the 4th area went? She's the one that sits on the ground and she fucked off before I could buy anything.
>>719846853nvm i beat it
These fucking BOULDERS are a bit ridiculous
>>719846332The bird gauntlet before him
>>719847342The fire ones for the quest? Where the fuck is the third one? I looked all through bone bottom and couldn’t find it.
>>719844916there are none
>>719846810>dude just fight this boss that spews random shit every where all the time and everything does at least 2 HP and you never have time to heal and you can never use ranged attacks and if you die you have to walk all the way down a super long corridor for no reason >lmao
i'm glad that more things do 2 damage now. It was SO FUCKING ANNOYING when all of a sudden stuff started doing 2 damage in HK1 and your mask upgrades are just negated
>>719847570One's near the bottom towards bone bottom, one's at the very top of the marrow, and one is before the entrance to dry docks up top (or so I remember it)I was bitching about the falling rocks though, there's bells later on too. Fucking annoying
>>719847705I'm sorry to hear you have difficulty playing video games, try checking out Animal Crossing as it seems more your style.
>>719844916Bellhart, after freeing them
why does everything have SO MUCH FUCKING HEALTH JESUS CHRIST
>>719847776instead your mask upgrades are negated from the start, because when everything does 2 damage there's no functional difference between having 5 health and 6
>>719849932just like khazan..., god i fucking despise this, its artificial difficulty
>people honestly expected Silksong to be easier or the same as HK lmao
>>719841950If I took a tally there were probably well over a hundred posts declaring that Silksong would be easy as pie because we were tempered by Godhome. This shit is basically just a continuation of Godhome.
>>719844916have to beat a NKG tier boss to even get the first one. No, I'm not joking.
>>719850898>artificial difficulty >why don’t I have a BBC my normal sized white cock is artificial difficulty
>>719851583Why wouldn’t they? It’s a sequel, not a Kaizo Mario hack.
>>719851929>It’s a sequelit's a retooled DLC
>>719839835This is where i am, legit don't kmow how i am gonna beat phase 2
>>719838591I beat the bird arena on the 1st attempt. Learn to movement.
Every enemy is primal aspid
I don’t see the godhome comparisons. Listen, the bosses are challenging and some do more damage, but c’mon now. Godhome was hard because>it was an endurance test>Markoth, Nightmare King Grimm, Pure Vessel, and Absolute Radianceand so far there hasn’t been a single boss that’s been harder than those. Now maybe later on, they will. I don’t know. I do hope there isn’t a boss rush in the game as is because I don’t ever wanna do pantheons again.
I love seeing people struggle with stuff I thrived with. I can't believe the ant boss is filtering people. I can't believe people hate the diagonal pogo. This game is so fucking fun.
>>719852843This game is like pulling teeth
>>719852904You're playing with the wrong mindset. It's a planning type game, if you can't learn from mistakes and or try to rush through combat you'll have a hard time. During run backs you do not have to fight enemies, and bosses have a bench nearby in 9/10 times - If it's far, there is a route you can take without combat. It's even nice enough to put your cocoon outside of the arena. What are you struggling with?
>>719852710i'm not going to say savage beastfly is objectively a harder boss than NKG, but i died more times to it than i did to NKG so it's almost undoubtedly overtuned for how early in the game it's accessible.these early bosses feel like you're playing with the bindings on since everything does an assload of damage and you have very few abilities that actually help you in combat.
>>719838687There's no indication of that because the enemies still die easily there.
>>719852710I didn't have Shadecloak when I attempted NKG in his DLC. I made him my bitch in Godhome and only lost to him in my P5 attempt once because I forgot his fight.Widow is a fucking atrocity and I learned so much from that fight that I didn't know prior and it pretty much beat my HK1 reflexes out of me. I figured out that healing is a tap and not a hold, I figured out that you can heal in midair, I figured out that I can get angrier than I've ever been at vidya without breaking my controller into a million pieces, etc. I can say that at 6 masks he's harder than NKG or PV with a fully masked and charm-kitted Ghost. AbsRad also didn't take me this long. Their Radiant difficulties sure.
>>719852992Sister splinter was really chaffing my ass but I just beat her. Now I’m fighting widow and I know it’ll be another slog to learn her moves and win. I might go back and explore and see if I can make myself more powerful. I have 3/4ths of a mask so maybe more health would help
>>719838591The problem isn't the difficulty because rooms like that are a clear indicator that you're on the wrong, too difficult path and should try another route, that's a great, natural way of telling the player off while not outright forcing a more skilled player to abandon it.The problem is that copying the FromSouls design can lead to frustrating sequences where if you walk into that room with 200+ rosary beads like I did, then you're forced to complete it or forever lose what you just accumulated over the last three hours, and obviously fucking nobody in the world is going to willingly accept that loss.Copying souls for no reason other than its popular worked fine for Hollow Knight because it added nothing there so it could be ignore, but it actively adds nothing to Silksong at best, while being super frustrating and forcing players to play an area they don't want to at worst.
Fuck /v/ You talk so much shit but can't play games.
>>719838591>have to pay 30 beads to trade with the merchant in the area you get the floating skirt Fuckkkk you. That is just difficulty and friction for the sake of it.
>>719853239I called it on Savage Beastfly because fuck off with all the adds. It should only be able to pull 2 adds top, but no it has had up to 3 and if you're unlucky enough to get the big ones and it doesn't ground pound you're pretty much just fucked. I feel I should just backtrack for some stuff but given how far away a station is I really don't want to.
>>719838591Beat that boss first try get fucking goodAlso beast crest is so god damn ass what were they thinking
>>719854240Sister Splinter is AIDS as well for this reason
>>719854009Has been for a while now.
>>719838591Just wait until you get to the REAL problemsI'm fucking bankrupt on shards
>new game comes>out of every place to discuss games on the internet, /v/ is the one complaining the most about the difficultyWhat happened to this place?
>>719853239I beat nkg on my first try and beat savage beast fly just now in two tries... is this just the thread where everyone admits theyre shit at video games. I genuinely baffeled by this. Are you fags just using basic strikes and not any of the other tools in your kit? Kill the adds with your throwing daggers, use the silk flurry instead of the needle throw its not that fucking hard
>>719854445/v/ always does this. /v/ sucks at games.
Use your kunai you fucking retards, it deals the same damage as a regular attack or pretty close to it but it's ranged.
>>719853987They're copying the retarded design even Miyazaki moved away from in Sekiro and ER. The runbacks are fucking trash.
What the fuck I just got caged and dumped in a prison.
>>719854450You dont have sex very often do you? LOL!
>>719838591Is the Chapel of the Reaper after this optional like the Beast Chapel is or should I be doing that?
>>719854450You guys are such liars. Either that or you’re in the top 0.000001% of talent. I argued with a guy on this board that said he beat Erdtree DLC radahn on his first try without summons or a cheese build. Just shameless lying.
>>719846332not sure if a glitch or what but i got the flea quest done while looking for upgrades, they move to where you fight him and now hes just gone? im kinda pissed, i hope i dont miss out on quests and shit because of this. im actually thinking of just droping the game... bought it on a whim. also i was trying to look up if anyone else had a similiar issue/ solution but JESUS CHRIST there is 7 YEARS of fucking lame Reddit memes to wade through.
>>719853987Yep, I'm basically committed to grinding Widow now with 5 masks and base silk because I dared to enter the boss room instead of travelling across the map to spend my shit. I'm enjoying the game but I wish they took the lies of P approach and put your shit just before the boss entrance
>>719853987>losing beadsJust buy the rosary strings so you don’t lose them, ez
>>719854445tbqf most places probably haven't played long enough to get to the hard shit
USE YOUR FUCKING TRINKETS/GADGETS RETAAAARDSSHARDS ARE PISS EASY TO GET YOU WON'T RUN OUT OF THEMSTOP GOING SUPER OFFENSIVE AT EVERY BOSSSIT BACK AND LEARN THE ATTACKS FIRST
>>719854748The chapels are where you get moveset upgrades. And they unironically lock you out after collecting them and leaving.
>>719854748You get a Crest for doing it
This game is the Dark Souls of the Hollow Knight series.
>>719854894I was getting filtered by the Savage Beastfly so I decided I would come back after getting at least one nail upgrade. I'm at the Flea Troupe in greymoor currently.
>>719854893Uhmmm ahahahhhow do i get those again
>>719854893I ran out of shards fighting Widow...
>>719838591im at pic related and its why i went here to bitchflying enemies with shit hitboxes and your tiny dick needlehow fucking annoying of a fight
>>719838591It's really not that hard, the game is just boring as fuck full of tedious backtracking, long runbacks, and rosary farming.
who designs a metroidvania where armor upgrades dont exist and health upgrades are so fuckin scarce?
Is this guy beatable or am I just wasting my time?
>>719854938Its the elden ring shadow of the erdree of the dark souls hollowvania genre
>>719854348Getting to this piece of shit everytime after dying is the real boss fight.
>>719855032Flying enemies have way too much health. There's no way it should take me 6 hits to kill this fucker that loves to float just outside of my range
>>719855150He's beatable. Probably not worth it
What the FUCK were they doing for the last 7 years?
Is he right? Wtf is this game? >>719854909
>>719854240Use your fucking skills. If there are too many adds then just throw your spear, it one shots most of the enemies and if it doesn't then you only need like one or two hits after that.>>719853239Literally how? I did it on probably my 5th try and most of my deaths were just being dumb and jumping into the slam. NKG was much harder and had me stuck for a while.
>>719855150You can beat him but it's a waste of time.
>>719855087this... and its hard.
>>719855087If you remove the run backs are just spawn the player outside of the boss room the illusion of the game would fall apart. It would feel extremely short and underwhelming
>>719855168whats fuckin great is you jump towards them, and they have the most godlike footsie game and move accordinglyholy fuck this kunai pigeon is the most annoying fuckeron top of this thing and the red ant, having no real telegraph for the instant jump or fly down attack
>>719838591Just spam your tools and they'll melt most regular enemies.
>>719854893i will snatch your every fukken birthday. YOU FUCK. YOU GODSDAMN BENCHOD. SHUT THE FUCK UP. SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP.FROG!!
>>719855218No the fuck it wouldn't retard, the game is massively bloated and way too long due to this stupid time-wasting bullshit.
This game makes me look at hornet as a weak little shit and the little ghost as the chaddiest of chads
Holy shit, i have been stuck for 3 hours already. Where the fuck should i go? Can't proceed further in lava area and in the grey area there is only the angry fag that i can't beat no matter what.
alright where the fuck do i go after far fields in greymor? left?right beings me to OPs image and im gettin sick of these enemies.
>>719854763I dont know what to tell you anon, you can not believe me on nkg all you want but tbf it was right as he was added after i 100%ed the base game so i was maxed out. Hes really not that hard just dodge and charge attack. As for the savage faggot i dont see how you guys are getting filtered by it. He literally has 2 fucking attacks and gives you plenty of time to heal. Just kill the adds first then hit him thats all theres is to it. If you think thats the top .00001% of skill then maybe you should just stop playing games, its not for you
>>719855187>>719855194alright thanks senpai I'll just run past him every time then
>>719855154Yeah, this place is fucking hell. I lost all my beads already.
>>719855218thats what cup head is, but your right, short and underwhelming and easy.
>>719855146team cherry doesn't like making the metroidvania aspect of actually getting stronger, they just wanted to make a difficult platformer similar to something like IWBTG, and upgrades would take away from that.
>>719855154This. Genuinely want to say this was the worst runback of any game I've played.
Why does every fucking enemy take 4 or 5 hits
>>719855295
>>719855415But in the lava area it seems that i need double jump or something to get further.
this game is just as clunky as volgar the viking lmao
>thought Hollow Knight couldn't possibly get any more tedious time-wasting bullshit >they add rosary farming and fetch quests
>>719855295Explore until you found dash. Hes a soft check for you finding the dash, but some of my friends just kind of brute forced there way past him. If you have the dash already and are still dying then stop being bad at videogames
>>719855168The game wants you to make liberal use of your tools. That fly for example will die with 2 daggers, and the threefold set you can find early on will usually melt most basic mob encounters.
>>719855459Those were already in hollow knight though
>>719855453you get dash. i have it circled for you
Really liking the fame but stuff in the begging is a lil too tanky and some attacks shouldn’t do that much damage, am I missing like some nail upgrades and some masks? I don’t know I just feel that I haven’t progressed that much, I’m now in the sand area but I’ll turn back and see what I’m missing tomorrow
>>719855482They shouldn't have made tools need a currency to replenish
I see people talk about a beastfly, where is that?
>>719855191That game is hard but not in remotely the same way. Also, once you understand how it works fully, you can just break it in half. With a few exceptions...Villith's Drain is still fucking brutal, and the path to Jalta Lake to the left of the start is also impossible to cheese due to the static square up in the sky.
>>719855489Who could forget harvesting 25 grub spines for the Elderbug in the original Hollow Knight
>>719855506*gameGod why the fuck does that happen so many fucking times
>>719838591i was really struggling until I hoped in vc with my discord bf and he did some asmr affirmations for me while I took my hrt and got comfy, maybe try that?
>>719846332I just used beast stance and hit him while throwing all my tools at him. Almost every boss can be beaten this way.
>>719855525It's a common resource that every single enemy drops anyway, and by the time they start becoming necessary for clearing the larger ares you'll likely be capped on shards.
This is one of those games that is just a miserable chore to play but people still pretend it's good just because it has a high level of polish
I just realized that I can run by holding in the dash button, and that hornet can heal while jumping in the air. Any other core gameplay features that took you guys a while to notice?
>>719855525This. What's the point of a currency for using your tools? Can't they just make them have charges and recharge at bench? This just punishes you further if you're struggling against a boss or challenge room.
>>719855525The currency is a literall non issue
my only issue with the game so far is pogo'ing and the fact that literally every other enemy has double damage, like cmon we barely had ANY in hollow knight and your telling me a buncha fat birds and random entities get double damage, the same amount of damage as the god of hollow knight in its peak performance
>>719855640You can also swim fast by holding the button
You guys are just having trouble wrapping your heads and muscle memory around the novel mechanics. Just keep at it you impatient fags.
>>719855627Yes but only if your a devoted contrarian
>>719838591I just did this one, died a few times but it wasn't that bad since the bench is like 2 rooms awaybut FUCK the one in Hunter's March, that one was complete aids
Dont have enough money for a map? Teehee looks like you need to go grind the 2 enemies that actually drop money 3 different maps away.
>>719855691>game has a female protagonist>suddenly enemies start doing absurd amounts of damage
>>719838591It better be, Hollow Knight was pathetically easy
>compass still takes up a charm spacethis was the worst thing about the original and they carried it over
>bird up high>jump to hit him>he lowers down and body hits methis is fuckin retarded.
>>719854809I had this as well. >fight bird>say fuck it i'll do it later>flea people move in>bird has now fucked off?????Anyone have an answer for this? I didn't want to skip the fucker.
>>719855150Beatable. Journal entry.
>>719855651Their brains are still in 2018. Please understand.
I'm in THAT area huh
>>719855841I still maintain that damage for just touching enemies is the laziest shit.
>>719855835Only valid criticism of the game thus far said. We literally have a Compass no matter what mod for this
>>719855691>>719855781The knight is just built different.
>>719855934the erratic assholes suck and being able to only hit up/down/left/right with a tiny needle is the most fundamentally stupid thing they have implemented and use for any sort of difficulty.this is the clunkiest piece of shit ive ever played. why did people praise this?
Am I missing some nail upgrades a masks? I’m like at the start of the sand area, everything just does too much damage and it’s too tanky, I’ll go back to the ant zone with the wall jump to see if there’s something new there
It's fucking retarded like only 20% of the enemies you fight actually drop beads. It just forces you to go find a spot to grind instead of just getting them by playing the game.
I got softlocked in the Lace fight. I threw like 4 traps from outside the arena and when I entered and triggered the boss fight my character just froze in place. I was invulnerable to damage but I couldn't do anything else, I couldn't even pause. Had to force close the game.
>>719855540English please
>pirated original game>paid for this oneWish I could reverse that.
>>719855968>everything just does too much damageGet used to it. Most enemies and traps will do 2 masks of damage.
>>719855968Also at what point am I really supposed to enter the bird area? Like if you wan to move forward that’s the only way no?
>>719855618And then the later, better tools like caltrops cost a fuckton to refill to the point where you're out if you lose to a boss four times.
We can all agree the game would be way better if:>shards removed >rosary loss on death removed>bench fee removed>twice as many benches>draw map based on exploration rather than having to buy it>cut the fetch quest bullshit>actual rewards and power gain for progression and boss kills>rosary beads don't bounce around all the fuck over the place>many spongy bosses and trashmobs had their HP reduced (or just give a fucking damage upgrade earlier)As it is right now, it's dogshit
>>719855973thats my plan for today just collect anal beads and upgrade shit
>>719855982Serves you right for being a pussyLace is actually fun and there's a bench right outside
>>719856052beads bouncing around is such a retarded design
>>719855973My favorite is when the beads are deleted by spikes
>>719855992Funny bat momentum memes go brrrr except in two places.
Why am I reading reading about Shakra helping with the ant combat room? She never showed up for me. I had to solo that shit.
>>719856052Also remove the contact damage from most enemies and make compass a passive upgrade that doesn't take up a slotIt's like this game could be fun if the devs didn't absolutely fucking hate the playerbase.
>>719856057I was just curious what would happen, I didn't think it was an very hard fight. It was actually the most fun boss imo.
>>719855961>why did people praise this?Hollow Knight took like 60 hours to get to the levels of bullshit Silksong starts at and most of it was completely optional. Then Pantheon happened and things just kept getting even worse. So now that's the new baseline. HK also had some insanely good levels, City of Tears is still goated, but honestly 8 hours in and Silksong has yet to wow me even half as much as HK did.
God I cant wait until people start getting to the hardest platforming section and find out that every time you fail there is a solid 2 minute run from the rest point.
>>719856052>actual rewards and power gain for progression and boss killsThis one tweaks the fuck out of me. You kill an entire massive robot and your reward is fucking nothing. Not even some beads.
How are you fags having issues with beads? Are you not exploring? Are you not breaking nodes? Im swimming in beads rn, havent felt the need to grind at all
>>719856057The fucking ants were harder than “damn brat needs rape correction” ass bug, literally just pogo back and forth, that fight against the stick bug was so fucking annoying, thank fuck for the kunai tool
>>719856052This. Let's just also add a mechanic where if you lose to a boss too many times you can skip it
FUCK BIRDSTHIS POST WAS MADE BY THE BUG GANG
>>719856162>2 minute run from the rest point.It's crazy Fromsoft themselves solved this in the time it took them to release Silksong and they just didn't copy Stakes.
>diagostab an enemy>attack ends half a millimeter before connecting>you fall in front of the enemy and take damage
>>719855032>constantly out of range until you decide to jump then it comes in and you take contact damage
Fuck this dogshit boss and the entire ass cancer area you have to go through to even reach it.
>>719856169I felt poor until Greymoor and now I have a comical amount. Spent like 300 of them on shard pouches because that feels like a more important resource to have at this point.
>>719838591In Hornet's words:>git gudI'm already exploiting enemy mechanics for slash jumping to unexplored places.I've never done this shit in games like this before. Normally this is a speedrun tactic in a game, in this one it's a legitimate tactic they teach you. Insane.It's like a giant path of pain at times.
Anybody else feeling the lack of charms?Even though I always used the same ones they were still cool things to collect and play with, and it was occasionally fun to be up against a tough boss and decide to try and pull out the meme strats
>>719854348Maybe their greatest troll yet
what the fuck the r3 parry button does?
>>719856261eckfuckinzactlythats where all the damage im takin is comin from.
>>719856323Garara voice line on command
>>719856223use a better crest
>>719856323What? R3 does something? I didn't test it
>>719855459Yeah but I didn't like HK's.For some reason, Silksong's is addictive as fuck for me.
Where are you guys in the game right now?I beat stick bug and I’m heading to the evil ass sand area with the worms on the ground and the steel soul jynn look alikes
>>719841227>nowdaysback when this board wasn't 99% twitter transplants OP would have been called a casual faggot a dozen times over within minutes, and you would toocry about the baby game more why don't you
Stuck in the area with wind currents and bugs don't drop materials for the floating cloak...
>>719856380A shame that Hunter is so ass. Reaper is slower swing, but has a way better downward attack and dash. I'm probably going to do a Hunter playthrough eventually to try to get good with it though.
>>719856387maybe it block projectiles but melee enemies just hit anyway from it, didnt test much
>>719855495Circled? Wtf. I'm sure i walked through there 3 times already. Maybe i was just sleepy. Thanks anon, will search more after work.
>>719839835>>719852216Lmao get fucked. it took a few tries but it's not that bad. I just beat it and it was the best fight in the game so far. Good lord I share a board with serious shitters.
>>719856429You gotta attack the spikes not the enemy, like when the spikes hit a wall or the grou d just hit them
>>719855973>finally kill flying enemy>their beads fall into pit or lavaMany such cases
>>719855929Why did I have less trouble here with a diagonal slash than I did in hollow knight with a normal slash?Something ain't right with HK's down slash. It's dicky as hell.Silk's is far better and it's fucking diagonal (at the start).
>>719856415Stuck on Widow's second phaseWill deal with it tomorrow
>>719856415I'm done for the day after i found out that Widow has a second phase
Fuck this faggot ass Prison area
>>719856312It is a glorified DLC, after all.
>>719856052We don’t need more benches and Im gonna be the fag to say bead bouncing is soulful but yes to the rest
>>719856474Fucking hell. Thanks anon!
>>719856479use the upgrade that collects beads
The theif guy never appear for me after freeing him. A friend has him standing in the same room. I didnt miss anything important with him did i, this game isnt going to do the gay obscure timed missable quests like ds and elden ring right?
>>719856052>I'm shit, therefore it's dogshit
Blasted Steps or Sinners Path? Which one is the correct way to continue the storyI of course want to go the wrong way. But both seem like they'd lead me to the citadel.
I struggled more with Moorwing than Widow desu
>>719856479>Geo falls into pit or spikes in HK>Can still collect it if careful or if you have gathering swarm>Beads fall into lava or spikes in SS>Insta destroyedFucking shameful it is
>>719856514Nah, totk is a glorified DLC, this is nothing like it
>>719856415I found blight town and got kidnapped
>>719856537The game is easy, all this shit is just boring ass padding.
>>719856502You're not supposed to fight anything until you get back your equipment. RUN. You are zero suit samus, your pathetic kicks are just to recover string and knock the enemies away,
>>719856498>>719856495Widowmind
>>719856415I just got into Act 2 and found the Slab. I feel like I need to go back and pick up some upgrades that I missed, only just got mask upgrade.
>>719856415Finished act 1, stuck in some garbage sewer with no rosaries. Outside of the fucking dogs in Sinner's Road and the entirety of Blasted Steps I've been having a good time.
>already 94/100 on the bugs of pharloom hunter journal questhuh....
>>719856323It does damage, I feel like it’s a heavy attack aoe but it never feels practical to use
am i supposed to do the clocktower thing or the caw caw green bird shit?
Infinite tools currency mod when?
>>719856415I just beat Lace after trying and keep failing. I think I'm getting too old for this...I also lost like 300 rosaries after going to the Hunter's March.
One thing I like about Silksong more than HK is the dash, it feels so smooth and it's very satisfying running so fast between screens. Much better than spamming the dash button on HK.
>>719856415Spent 20 minutes trying to jump to the top in greymoor’s right side so I just went left and found a comfy inn
>>719855295If you fight him in the smaller tunnel he can't jump, only burrow. You can poke and run as he surfaces.
>>719856660Dude Lace was just pogoing, you’re going to love the stick bug up ahead
>>719856514It's a different game to me 2bh. HK was far less kaizo and wasn't nearly as fast.This game feels more like Metroid Dread after Samus finally get's her speed boosts.But it's like that from the start and it just gets more and more intense and ridiculous with mechanics. So many hidden movesets, it's insane. Never seen a 2D game with this many intended hidden mechanics. Things like backflips off of enemies. It never tells you how to do them, but they're there.
Where is the best place to farm? Just beat the four armed robot btw. I need the Forge duds tools
>>719856662I like the sprint but I had the drop after you airdash
>>719856415>explore all the way through sinner's road>no boss found>explore the fuck out of blightwater>no boss found, no map found>now i'm at the mist and i have absolutely no fucking idea where i am or what i'm supposed to be doingi never got this lost in hollow knight, what the fuckalso these areas are super giga monkey nigger aids to actually traverse, full of ranged enemies that run away from you and shoot targeted projectiles and then just disappear when you get close so you can't actually kill them
>>719838591Movement is much smoother than HK, but the combat feels so much worse. Pretty much everything dealing 2 damage while their HP is bloated as fuck is NOT fun.I just fought 4th Chorus and while it was easy as shit pattern-wise, I was wailing on that fucker for several minutes which makes me question if I missed some damage upgrade along the way or if Team Cherry just went full retard with the game balance.
>>719856635i see guess its good to use when boss is stunned and you have full health
>>719856415Bell area for now, but I explored so many nooks and crannies of the bottom area.
>>719838591>>719838685It's not that bad. The game is just autistically obsessed with "taking turns". So just wait your turn to poke while they alternate between their three different attacks.
lets make birds take 4 hits to killfuckin bravo
>>719856579>and I'm a sociopathic liar
>>719838591>farming rosaries >not glimg to camp to have them chained together You only have yourself to blame, also you don't even need to hoard that much currency at that point in the game.
>>719856689I haven't gotten used to the vertical pogoing yet, that's the problem. It's also why I died at Hunter's March, the monsters were easy to kill, jumping between plants wasn't for me.
>>719856727There's a mechanic in Fourth Chorus where you drop the ceiling to kill him.
>>719856693>Things like backflips off of enemiesyou need to be retarded to not notice these lmaothey literally happen automatically
More like SilkSnore, this shit is so fucking boring.
>>719856732It honestly feels built for like an enchantment or super move you get laterIdk I haven’t found any new attacks outside the dart tool
We have spent 3 years perfecting our spike placement to destroy 90% of your beads.
>>719838591I went to the bird gauntlet just after getting the reaper seal, foolishly thinking it would be better than your base seal. The upward reaper attack has half of the coverage of your upward base attack, making it a pain in the ass to land an attack on flying enemies (think half a parabola vs full parabola ). As soon as I switched back to the base seal I cleared it. There are a lot of quirks about this game making it less enjoyable than HK:Having to use a diagonal dive attack to bounce off of objects is a fucking hassle whether vertially or horizontally. I can do it, but I hate it.I never thought I would have to go rosary farming (and hunting the map chick before I lose all of my cash), and the rosary chain scam is dickish (spending 80 rosaries so I have 60 I don't drop on death is basically a 25% annoyancetax).When I was fighting Forth Chorus, I was really starting to wonder when the fight would end. >>719855295I beat him without dash. Just use the area where the ceiling transitions from low to high, and have him dig between the two areas so he can't jump and just do a single hit and run.>>719856090I got the assist when I got to that fight. Maybe it's dependent on how much money you spend on her.
>>719856495Just managed to beat her. The flea juice + poison trinket was clutch.
>>719856807>they literally happen automaticallyNot necessarily.You need to be dashing and move the directionals a specific way.
arent the backgrounds a bit TOO blurry?
>>719856807Backflips off of enemies?
why do most bosses and now regular, non-large enemies just do two shells worth of damage now and this early on
>>719856727Stop trying to needle only. Use Tools, use silk for abilities. Silk Storm does as much as 5 needle hits in a third of the time. Hornet kills so fast if you aren't just trying to sit and spank. The Tri pin can shotgun and each does half of a needle hit. Properly positioned you can spam them into a boss and they melt.
>>719856804>Oh there's drafts on either side of the area now. Oh well I doubt they're important.
>>719856221>Fromsoft themselves solved thisyou are a retard
>>719856869Because HK was too easy.9 Sols kinda proved that.But I think Silk's got it beat now because of the variety of moves on offer.
Act 3: hallownestKinoooooJk i'm still on act 1
>>719846853i lost 300 beads to this shit
>>719855295I was having trouble with the same angry dude. If he jumps don't run away, run towards it and attack from behind, all the other shit he does you can just walk out of range at normal speed.
I've noticed so many gen a's getting filtered because they're used to being babyed by modern gaming. "Enemies hurt you just from touching them!", "the runbacks are too long!", "the bosses are too hard!" Silksong is 7 years in the making, and carries over these old school philsophies. The downside of a game taking forever to come out is missing the changes in consumer standards during that time
>>719856862>>719856868literally all you do is downwards attack LMAOyou can combo it with dash how is that complicated?
>>719856918
Is there a reason why falling in these should deal 2 masks of damage other than to fuck with you? This area is already aids, was there a need to do this?
>>719855295I came to the same conclusion as this Anon >>719856674Lure him into the tunnel, whack him when he emerges from his burrow, dash away to dodge his attack (if he doesn't burrow again), run away to force a burrow, rinse, reapeat.The tunnel being there probably makes this an intentional strategy, but dear God, it's a fucking retarded design.
>>719856869You have a problem with that, anon? Haven't you learned to press A?
>>719856869Because Team Cherry thought HK was too easy and most people did too, so they wanted to make a harder game. They succeeded.
>>719856869>>719856929One of my biggest complaints in HK is that the world wasn't threatening and barely any enemies did 2 health of damage.I am actually so fucking happy Silksong has actual shit that can just outright push your shit in.
>>719856964It's a hint from Team Cherry, telling you not to fall in.
>>719856415The area after you get the floating robe upgrade and go to the surface. I just finished the reaper seal gauntlet and the bird gauntlet.
>>719856964Get used to itAll traps in the rest of the game do two masks
>banshee enemies that dash around at mach 10 speeds doing a grab attack with a MASSIVE hitbox and drain four of you fucking silk bars when they hit you>and of course they also do 2 damage because fuck you nigger you're not allowed to enjoy the game
>>719856975its not harder thoughunless it is supposed to get harder after 4th chorushonestly the game is still piss easy harder than HK sure but thats moot, silksong itself isnt hard
>>719840632Game released today. Instead of playing it and discovering it for yourself, you are watching YouTube shitters play it.Is this a poor person thing or is your brain too rotted to form your own opinions?
>>719838591I don’t even know how you people have gotten so far in this game. I got 4 hrs in and haven’t run into any bosses that are particularly hard but I also havent spent the entire fucking day playing. If the game is so hard then why put 10+ hrs in it day one? With HK, I was always very patient with how I approached bosses and didn’t beat my head against a wall because I would take frequent breaks.
>sequel to popular game>it's more of the first game>it's slightly more difficult than the first game>basically a perfect follow-up>fags on /v/ somehow still complainI'm not saying it's a 10/10 game but what else did you guys expect lmao
>>719857028It becomes hard after that yeah, starting in grey moor
>tfw did the entire downslash gauntlet to get the boomerang gadget way earlyI don't know why I was masochistic enough to do Ant Hell when I clearly was undergeared for it, but sure
>lets give you the move that helps you kill the birds after you do the hard challenge room>lets give you the dash later that would help with this boss actuallyweird
>>719838591>/v/ openly admitting to getting filtered instead of playing tough and pretending like it's easySilksong is a magical game.
>>719857028Bro Silksong is hardIve played most metroidvaniasAnd the things Silksong throws at you Act 1 already makes it harder tbat almost all of the other mainstream onesLike only Rabi Ribi on a harder difficulty and probably Aeterna Noctis platforming-wise is harderLa Mulana too but mostly because puzzles
>>719856415Hunter's March
>>719856897> Silk Storm > Tri pinI had neither of these, just the basic dagger and my Nail.
>>719857072At least they aren't bitching and pretending it's the game's fault for being too hard
What’s the best place to grind rosaries? Someone mentioned Mosshead I think, but I couldn’t find what they were talking about. It’s a bit aggravating to not be able to unlock benches and bellstops.
>>719855640you do a special attack while sprinting
>>719857109the issue is metroidvanias as a genre is piss easy especially for boss fights sure silksong tried to add more dark souls shit but doesnt change that it isnt per se hard hell if shit was doing 1 mask damage people would brute force
Hunter's March is literally the Catacombs of this game.And people keep fucking running into it.
>>719856964Because fuck you, that's why.
when do i get the dashi just got to hunters march
>>719857138Then explore more. Silk storm is after fourth Chorus. But i'm just saying in general, you'll want to be using these tools when you can, don't try to spare their use, it only hurts you. I use them even on basic enemies. You should have at least gotten the Shard Pin though, from Forge Daughter. That thing is really nice.
>>719838591git gud retard, its literally that simple. the fact shit does 2 masks of damage does not matter, fucking helen 'nigger hater' keller could figure out the attack patterns of these dudes.
BUY THE RED TRAP FROM FORGE DAUGHTEREQUIP THE RED TRAPUSE THE RAD TRAPTHERE I JUST MADE ACT 1 PISSEASY FOR EVERYONE
>>719857156where you first find the ring lady merchant person, you go in a counter clockwise lap around mosshead area back to the bench before her
>>719856551I got fucked and did the feast before moorwing so I never got to fight it and now I'm pissed. I hope it appears after the fuckers move again
>>719857215It was worth it to battle with cartographer wife (literally just met her today) but yeah you can’t do much without an upgrade.
>>719856804just pogo his head forever like god intended.
>>719857318how the fuck did "fleas" come out as feast.
>>719857156In the beginning where you first meet the map chick, there is a circular loop to your left (with a bench near to the chick) that nets you 50 beads every time you complete it.
what the fuck is the mistwhy is it completely fucking randomam i even making progress or am i missing a key upgradei must've gone through like 30 or 40 rooms before i just gave it up and killed myself
>>719857140If they did, I would easily call bullshit. This game is difficult, but you never feel like it's unfair. You can always tell why you fucked up, and how you can improve. The only time it felt unfair for me so far was those bullshit floor/ceiling traps in Hunter's March and the location before that that are impossible to see and shave two masks off you, that was pure trial-and-error NES Mega Man bullshit.
>>719857301>>719857359I don’t remember where we first met her, that was hours ago
>>719856292so many people complaining about this guy and i just don't understand, i literally one shotted that whole section, i'm not gonna say it was easy but it's not particularly hard either
>>719856428Yeah even if we all sucked dog dick at a game back then we knew better than to ever publicly blame the game for it.
>>719857391You can quit to titlescreen and spawn at a bench for free without dying.
>>719857428That's how I felt about people bitching about bell beast.
>>719857412where you first meet the green spitting retards
>>719857464People complained about Bell Beast? Of all enemies/bosses?
The answer to everything is to git gud, that's all there is to it. There's occasional bullshit, but you conquer all situations by using your brain and coordinating the situations accordingly
>>719857453ehit puts your cocoon at the start anyway so it only took like 10 seconds to get my cash back
>>719857273I bought the lava does less damage tool. No more materials.
>>719857505in the first few threads, yeah. i don't trust this place after that.
>>719857506Tell much how much skill is required in a one minute runback with zero risk to get back to a boss? Did it really matter or is it there just to make the experience unpleasant?
Is it true shakra helps you in hunters March? I've talked to her in every spot and she didn't help me on any fight there
>WAAH WAAH 2 MASKS OF DAMAGEYou guys are crazy. One of Hollow Knight's BIGGEST issues was how fast you scaled past a majority of the world.Literally early to mid game the only bosses that could really pose a real threat to you were the Watcher Knights. Maybe the Dream Bosses.I'm.not trying to gloat here. HK was literally that easy early on.
>>719857391I don't know yet, but I'm 99% sure the Mist is a lost woods loop type map
>>719857584Dont die to the boss?
oh yeah, this boss is fucking annoying.
>>719857506nah its tedious nonsense. i dont feel good beating shit. its just like sekiro all over again
>>719857028what compels you to post this? youve barely played the game. youve seen like 3 bosses. you have gotten 1 upgrade>"yeah, ive played the game for 1 hour, guess i know everything about the game. i will unanimously declare it NOT HARD"niggers like you ruin the day 1 discussion of any game. shut the fuck up until youve actually played the fucking game
>>719857584This game so far has only 1 dogshit runback and it's not Hunter's March. Every single other runback takes 10-20 seconds
>>719857627damn so it was like every metroidvania where it was about exploring and gettin stronger?fuck...
>add different moves sets with the crests>theyre all worse than base hunterReaper seems kind of ok but why would i want slow heavy attack that DOESNT actually do more damage. Im just gimping my dps
>>719857028>its not harder though>harder than HK for sureYou're a special kind of moron aren't you?
>>719857657>it's tedious waaaah waaaahNo one cares faggot. Now get out and let people who care talk about the game. You've shat up enough threads for one day
>>719857686There's "getting stronger" and then there's "obviating all risk"
>>719857668I'm talking in general. Every runback that isn't there to murder you is pointless.
>>719857732theres no fun if things become tedious, you know that right?like are we past tryin to have fun and just tryin to feel good about beating a janky ass videogame? is there like nothing else going on with your life that you really need the game to be this way?
>>719857695why do crests change the fucking pogo of all things. trying to bounce off things in beast is so awful I don't even want to try it
>>719857818I said no one cares faggot. Get lost.
why would you ever use nimble crest?
I died to the trap bench in Hunter's March and i couldn't stop laughing, they got my ass real good.Also, toughest boss so far was the double Moss Mother in Atla , that shit took me like 7 tries
>>719857853>no one carestheres like 20 other anons here who think the game has issues. quit being a blind fanboy
>>719857871Why would you ever use any of the creasts. Theyre all defult unsable except the base one thanks this bullshit >>719857839
finally scraped together enough beads for a simple key, where should I use it? I've run into several doors that seem like they require one.
>>719857957>20 other anonsYeah you, you and you. Now seriously, piss off and let people have fun discussing a new game. What do you gain from spamming threads with the same trite copy paste posts? Nevermind, don't answer. This is the last time I'm responding to you anyways.
>>719855960The Knight was a void and God being just like the Hollow Knight was and was just as capable of fucking up the entire line of bosses. Even Hornet couldn't do that.
>player character has humongous hitbox>the contact damage still there for some reasonlegit what the fuck were they thinking? I literally have to measure my fucking jump when hitting flying enemies to avoid contact damage
>>719858024sorry your $20 totally not dlc sequel is just as shit as the base game.7 years and they didn't playtest it enough i guess
>>719856869You heal for 3 instead of one and can do it mid air.
>>719857839well, beast gives you more attack speed, and your bind replaces healing with more damage and lifesteal, i think they gave it a shitty pogo to balance it out
where the fuck do you get spine cores??im in the caves? i thinkthere are very rare flying dudes but they drop nothingwtf is this
>>719858024the only discussion youre going to get is the problems with the game anon
>>719858167right side those flying things shoot spikes collect them
>>719858167I think those were the spike thingys that get shot out, hitting them drops the items
>finally reached Act 2KINO
>>719858167i got stuck there as well, you have to hit the spikes the flying dudes shoot, and then collect them
>>719857695More reach, generous pogo hitbox and the slow swing speed doesn't matter as much with jumping attacks. I've only found wanderer and reaper so far but I find them both situationally useful.
>>719838591I wouldn't say it's hard, but everything feels tedious now. It's like they completely shifted design philosophy after the Grimm DLC. Also feels like they did not enjoy all of the speedkills people were doing, so now bosses have more HP and let you attack them less often. I'm also starting to understand the pogo complaints. The angle just feels wrong, the hitbox on the dive is way too small and I've just zoomed right over flowers I should be hitting. Also the distance you travel with it feels too short.
>>719857584You're a big boy, you can handle a corpse run. Games shouldn't have checkpoints just before each boss so that you just run at the boss mindlessly 24/7
HOLY FUCK THE DIAGONAL POGO FINALLY CLICKEDI COULD CHAIN SHIT BETWEEN DIFFERENT ENEMIES
>>719856415Beat the Fourth Chorus boss in one go, gonna hit the hay and do more tomorrow. Don't know why my roughest boss so far has been the fast travel bug, but other than that, I've been really enjoying the game. I need to go back and see what I've missed, I think my only current active side quest is the fleas.
>>719858273>>719858239>>719858264holy shit why the fuck do i need to attack the projectiles they shoot that are stuck on the ground instead of auto pick upstupid retard team cherry
Is it worth it doing the sidequests?
>>719858372ant nest really shows how weird the angle is i got hit by spikes by missing obvious jump multiple times
What the fuckI just sat on the bench at Bone Bottom and a second Skull Tyrant attacked the village, murdered the guy by the fireplace and now they're all holding a funeral
whats the 3 bell sign mean anyway?
>>719858495lmao what
>>719858483Some more than others.
>>719858450Because she told you to get the spines, you dip.Spines as in spikes, not spines as in vertebrae.
Hunter's March feels like I'm fighting normal enemy versions of Lost Kin. Somehow the enemies predict where I'll be before I even decide I want to be there.
>>719858523The bench got snapped in half too, now some guy is repairing it with a hammer
>go into lost march>keep attacking horizontally instead of diving>keep dyingI'm fighting the level more than I am the enemies
silksong wont win goty because blue hair woke journos cant beat it
>>719858608Wait was it because I didn't buy the bridgeWas the name fucking literal
>omega ass cancer-aids runback>retarded fight where he just walks towards you until you're pinned against a wall and then does the move that hits almost the entire screen so it's literally unavoidable>2 damagethis is fucking stupid dudewhere is the part where the game is funwhy does it take multiple minutes of platforming to get back to fight this guy again only to die before i even get to the second phase he obviously has
>>719858676Unironically thoughIt is actually insane how Silksong has practically ZERO QoL lmaoIn fact, TC literally designed it not only to be harder but to fuck with the player more
>>719858676I'm starting to get why they didn't want game journos to get their hands on it. Game is a fair bit harder than non-Godhome HK.
>>719858731I hope to fucking god they patch thisThis fight would be fine if not for those FUCKING CEILING CORNERS
so does it feel worth the development time?
>>719838591What is with the addslop splinter sister. Its fucking awful! What is this, Sekiro?
>>719858851really polished game feels like time was spent well
>>719838591Uhhh, anyway to get a second simple key before i finish the area with all the worms in the sand and sandstorms?I unlocked the door in Deep Docks and was underwhelmed.Anything I should double check, I feel like I'm close to act 2
>>719858851100%.
>>719858734> bring Steam down by not allowing preload> increase the ways to fuck with the players> still going earn tens of millions each easilyAussies are just built differently.
>>719858890You can get a second key in Sinner's Road but I think you're maybe not supposed to get in there before some kind of double jump? You can get in with some head bounce off the maggots to wall jumps
400 rosaries goneYeah I think Im done
Holy shit I actually beat him
>>719858974Also, I'm pretty sure you're intended to use the simple key there to get a loser out of a cage
>>719859005Before you got the dash?
>>719859005if you bait him to tunnel on left he cant jump but good job beating him normally
>>719838591How are all of you this fast bruh, it's not even the end of the week it released in, are you going to beat it in 3 days
>Bell Beast>Hunter's March>Moorfly>WidowsWHO IS THE REAL ACT 1 FILTER /v/?
>>719846853Ok why would they do this
>>719859005I didn't realize the game sort of hints you need the dash and fought him a few times before taking him down. Somehow the bouncing on the flowers in the next section is what really fucked me up and was the first time I lost beads.
>>719858731>get to the second phase>becomes a "mom said it's my turn to attack" boss where he spams moves that cover the whole screen and prevent you from getting close to him and there are barely any windows to attackthis might actually be the single worst fight in either game
>>719838591lol this room just made me put the game down for a bit, made me tilted as fuck
Where do you get the dash, I need a hint I feel like I've gone everywhere accessible to me
the flying bird like shit are OP 10 trillion hits to kill themgame is HP bloated after 4th chorus YOU RETARDS FIX THE GAME
Isn't the biggest complaint about the original HK that it's too easy? You people just can't agree on shit.
>>719859193lava bell area
>>719839835That sounds like the first game to me.
>>719858734>practically ZERO QoL lmaoThe buzzwords you retards use to justify your lack of skills never ceases to amaze me
I've been capped on these for hours now, is this normal or I'm missing something?
>>719859228Use. Your. Tools.
>>719859239As in lower Marrow?
am I supposed to go up there? I keep missing the second pogo bounce
>>719859271Hes not wrong silksong's map system is still the same as hk and it has zero difficulty options or ways to mame the game easier when almost every other game in the genre these past few years have one
>>719838591I like the difficulty. Have the base game be hard but then don't include dog shit like the Pantheons again cause lets be real they fucking suck.
>>719859312Map system and zero difficulty modifiers are perfectly fine game design
>>719859283Read the post just below yours.
>>719859283If you use tools (and you should since they do more damage than you think), going to a bench will have Hornet use them up to make her tools.
>Wanderer CrestHoly soul…
Does anyone else like Hornet like just as a character?I like the way she's written and how overall humble she is in the dialogue.A lesser studio would have gone full muh girlboss.
>>719855295use kunaistay close to him when he emergesjump only if he pulls his sword back - but you can also just attack to parry itpogo if you jump above his attackrun forward under him if he jumps, short hop and attack upwardyou can do so much more DPS than him it isn't funny
>>719859192The rest of the game is kicking my ass, way too hard. The birds are the one thing I got. I was down to one health but beat it first try. Than didnt die in this section. Its weird as the enemies after raped mr.
>>719859128last judge. the casuals aren't there yet but it's definitely that one.
Kinda wish the crafting shards weren't a thing and all enemies just dropped money.
>>719855415How do you open the gate by the bench to take that upper path?
>>719859128Last Judge. I've been stuck here for two hours.
>mfw trying to get used to the dive after being used to the HK pogoI always feel like I over or undershoot it. Decided not to do that one area that requires multiple jumps using it because I'm just that bad.
HERE ARE FREE PRO TIPS FOR NEW PLAYERS IN ACT 1>do NOT go into hunters march immediately>use your silk spear and red tools consistently>USE THE ROSARY STRINGS AND SAVE UP ROSARIES>let your dash pogo linger instead of spamming it>BUY the red trap from forge daughter>immediately go to bellhart first and get the needle upgrade once you canHope you have fun brehs. Really the big tip here is to not be afraid to just use the tools.
Hornet is a boy btw.
>>719859128Buying the game > Splinter Sister > hunters march > Bell beast > windows > Moorfly
>>719859370It would be soul if the range wasn't a severe problem with how this game is calibrated.
Mooreing never spawned for me in greymoor do i have to activate him or something where is it? Is it because i took the flea caravan?
>>719859506>do NOT go into hunters march immediatelyI'M NO BITCH. Getting through Hunter's March was difficult though
>>719859546I dont know if this is true but I think you can fight moorwing again eventually when the caravan leaves
>>719839835lol i beat her first time.just git gud.
>>719859369I don't have any tools. I'm guessing you gotta find a crafter npc to make them or something?
>>719859506>>BUY the red trap from forge daughterHow the fuck do I use these well
>>719859492You get an upgrade later that makes you summersault your sword in the air, makes it infinitely easier.
>>719859506>BUY the red trap from forge daughterI still don’t know who this is (I think), could I have missed her?
Wormways or Deep Docks for my key?
>>719859128Why would Bell Beast be a filter boss?Hunters March isn't too terrible, just frustrating.Moorfly can easily be skipped Widow should have less HP, but it isn't a bad fight outside of that. It was actually one of the only boss fights I've enjoyed so far, on par with double Moss Mother.
>>719859005I beat him without realizing there was a dash. Git gud.
>>719859372She comes off as to the point and focused, while also being polite to those who deserve it. The dudes that are there aren't ones she puts down to talk about their privilege, she's just a good level headed character, and that's all she needs to be.
>>719838591Died to the miniboss at Hunter's March like 12 times before i tried parrying his tracking jump he does. How are normalfags supposed to figure this out when they don't even tell you you can parry shit and you barely use it in the first game?
>>719859629Widow is the first boss that mandates tool use. If you use tools her health just fucking evaporates.
>>719859546I guess entering the area from the reverse side causes the boss to despawn permanently(?)
>>719859461someway to get to dash. i dont really remember what you had to domaybe i jump pogo'd an enemy to a ledge. im not sure
uhhh, im at the reaper areadid i miss tools or whatever the fuck u guys are on abouti dont have the vbucks for buying shit from the forge lesbians
>>719859662THAT WOULD BE GREAT, TOO BAD I ONLY GET 10 USES
Tools are your charms in this gameExcept theyre active so fucking use them your mouthbreathersYou are LITERALLY playing hollow knight with zero charns if youre playing silksong without using the tools the red ones especially
>>719859506>belharti dunno i talked to some old guy ina clocktower and he disappeared now i took a caravan thats southwest of there and i can only go left.when the fuck is that.
>>719859629Bell beast has been my hardest boss until Splinter Sister. I swear I got it down to 1 hit left 4 times but just couldn't close.
>too hard!!these trannoids are not even vs Last Judge lmaobut yeah people will cry
>>719859606I'll look out for that, not sure how far away that'll be from Far Fields but I appreciate there's something.
>>719859697map if anyone cares, has suggestion somewhere important to back track if i miss fun shit
>>719859732When you go to left
>>719859732Left of the caravan...
>>719859642NTA but same
>>719859310get float and you don't need to pogo at all
I get it now.Silksong is filtering everyone who played HK by just swinging the nail and nothing else. Act 1 expects you to use everything you have.
I’m gonna assume this will just be an Elden Ring situation where people will complain en masse for a while and then slowly adapt and accept it by being good but then you’ll get threads like this every so often and then replies will be two or three guys posting from their 20 gigabyte webm folder of them beating every enemy in the game in 5 different ways.
>>719859757Looks like you've missed a bunch
>>719859672Well thats fucking lame. Does it drop anything
AM i supposed to go to far lands or hunters march first.In far lands there are those winds that push you up but i cant do shit there for now, it seems like i got lost
>>719859072Yes!
>>719859814Honestly surprised he didn't jump more considering how often you were in the air. But then again I feel like they programmed him to use the jump less often than other attacks.
artificial difficultythe game is just hard for the sake of being hardit's just elden ring again
>>719859856At least in ER you can just go whereverSS is still a metroidvania
>>719859901Far lands, there's an npc down there that makes you something to use the air vents. Hunter's March is optional.
I had a feeling they might balance around the autists that 112%ed the previous game.Casuals like me who merely played through the game once without even 100% it are not the target audience of Silksong
>>719859853>Silksong is filtering everyone who played HK by just swinging the nail and nothing elseUsing all nail range charms and quick slash was fun tho
>>719859901You unlock the item for the wind geysers in the Far lands - bottom right theres a quest giver in a house.Hunters is optional content
>>719859712You do realize that you can unlock crest slots and bring TWO tools in, yes?
>>719859935>SS is still a MetroidvaniaSo you can go like 3 other places for a bit
>>719859856I just think they need to adjust the hit detection on the pogo dive to be bigger.
this nigga shaved off good 40 minutes of my life for basically nothing
>>719859976You do realize those are limited resources - I have long since spent all of the ones I have unlocking passive slots
I missed at what point moves changed. Like down diagonal rush changed for hk1 downward slash
This game is literally and I mean literally Bloodborne to Dark Sous, a slower game morphed into a gun blazing one and I fucking love it, Hornet with movement speed upgrades is so fucking cool.
>>719860076Beast form is so unbelievable dogshit i have no idea what they were thinking
Was there even a point in going to Hunter’s March early? I know there’s that guy who sells stuff, but I didn’t have any money on me then. I don’t know if I forgot something or missed something.
>>719859536>>719859736>spinter sister>hardJust use your silk spear when the adds spawn so you 1hko them and jump her attacks, she is very basic.
>>719841227they made the game with the autismos in mind who ground out the pantheon dlc.
>>719860184Boomerang is nice for some large or flying enemies, the broken mask gives you a one time ( in between benches) extra hit on your final mask when equipped.Thats about it, outside of the beast crest locked behind an ass boss fight.
>>719859932this person didn't get the bench by the map lady lolalso funny the weaver is unlocked after the birds, where it would be the most useful
>>719860260>>719860184The broken mask is 100% important.
>>719860260>BoomerangHuh wheres that i explored the whole area
>>719854450you are still a virgin anon
>>719859757>>719859697You can get both the throwing dagger and 3-projectile kunai before getting the reaper crest, anon. The kunai is in the lava dock area. I forget where, unfortunately.
>>719860157bone bottom...why
>>719859856I have 650 hours in ER and I'm currently playing nightreign ( killed all everdarks so far ) and even in hindsight I'd say that Malenia and Promised Consort were too much. I was simply left behind by the constant arms race and one-upping of the challenge where the joy of overcoming a boss wa replaced by just being glad it's over. Everdark Libra is the most recent example. I got his relic and will never ever fight him again lolI really hope some indie people or so will some day pick up the mantle and make DaS3/BB tier difficult souls games for filtered casuals like me.
>>719860365Merchant guy sells it
>>719859084some anons no-life the game and then lpay through it multiple times, but I'm the kind of normalfag wageslave that will play it one hour a day and slowly chip through it (I also unironically find it more enjoyable this way), which is why I should really stop coming here soon
>>719860076lol wtf where is this retard at?
>>719860076all the flying enemies are just way too bullshit compared to ground enemies.they dont even compensate HP bars for them eitherjust armored apache DRONES who have the most immaculate footsies when you try to even hit them
>>719860420hunter's march, top right, can only get there if you can float on the hot air
>>719854840good goy
>>719860462you can pogo up there no need floating upgrade
>>719860409DaS3 really was the sweet spot with the bosses. I remember people absolutely losing their minds over sister friede. Today that boss looks like a crippled and old crucible knight in comparison.
why would you not use reaper over the normal? in fact the dive kick is a lot more safer to use since it doesn't nose dive you and if you aren't perfectly accurate you eat a hit thanks to retarded body damageimagine playin dark souls and you take damage because you run into an enemy jsut standing there
>>719860404i'll try to just go around old areas i guessi missed shit ton seems like
WHERE'S THE LAST PURPLE WORM
>>719860409the only thing akin to input reading estus reading punishing in this game is the flying enemies who bob and weave in and out whenever you go in for a jump attackits actually the most infurating thing about the combat right now
>>719860409Yeah nothing wrong with having a preferred level of difficulty, im comfy on ER/SOTE levels but if they up the stakes any higher i might tap out too (i will still play it, just with a summon instead of solo).It only becomes gay when you blame the game like a little bitch.
>>719856932that'd be some great fanservice. A time-skip, post-pandemic hallownest.
>>719860076lol
>>719860420Hunters March. Optional boss fight, the boss itself isn't too bad - but he can spawn up to 3 ads in his smaller than normal arena, a spike dude, a mini version of the boss, and a flying guillotine guys that does 2 masks dmg.You can easily get caught inside his hurtbox after success pogos because he receives no knockback and flys wherever he wants to.Ads with hit you, push you into his hurtbox, so you'll take 3-4 masks dmg while stunned.Absolutely terrible design
I wish Hornet's attack had a fair bit more knockback, I'm too used to just sitting there as the Knight and being able to push away enemies that are trying to fly right in my face.
>>719860524Don't worry; I'm only a couple hours ahead of you. As a STRONG word of advice, the boss for Greymoor is a fucking faggot so don't go above him because contact damage will rape you. It's safer to just say below him and to the side and dodge his projectiles/charges.
>Marrow>Hunter's March>Deep RocksMan all of these zones suck.
>>719859831OH
>>719860462>>719860608hunters march is that shit after the red ant thing filtering everyone?i hate flyin enemies in this game. just seein a flyin enemy boss means i am dreading him
>>719860519Upward attack has less range and it is factually slower than other crests.That's it
>>719860638Why do you hate lava.
is reapers crest simply worse than the normal kit?
>>719860668Yea. Honestly ants aren't too bad after getting used to them. Swordsman ants always drop 25 rosary beads, so they're good money if you get the technique down.
Genuinely how the fuck are you supposed to get past widows second phase? I just imedeately die the moment it starts because of how suddenly there is like half a dozen bells flinging around and that fuck also charges at you and she catches you she also deals 2 masks worth of damage. I only have 6 masks at this point so even if I am not even hit by anything in the first phase, the amount of shit flying on the screen in the second phase just deletes my health. And there is no time to heal either in that phase due to just how fast everything moves.
>>719838591Right now I'm stuck at the giant flying mite thing boss in Greymoor. I'm shit at video games, but I'm persistent.
>>719860519Its.....slow.
>>719860720Better pogo. The extra silk generation on hitting enemies after focusing is a plus, dunno how it compares to upgraded hunter crest dmg increasing with focus tho.
Whrer the FUCK is the first nail upgrade
>>719860856SAVE BELLHART
>>719860796There is time to heal - wait for the vertical bells indicator lines to appear, jump mid air and heal in the sweet spot .You can also get a heal in when widow does the scream, or jump and queue one up mid air at the start of the grapple dash widow does
>>719860796In her second phase she kinda does the same as before just that she immediately dashes in your direction rather than going into the air first. The ball trajectories being markef by light and being slow helped me
>>719856052this, let's also add a feature where you press a red button that says "win" and it rolls the credits
>>719860409The problem with Libra is it would snowball and become nigh unwinnable midfight in multiplayer. The only chances you have of salvaging a run like that only open up if you’re willing to spend 10+ minutes stalling as you run around and backpedal as guardian or revenant. Even Radahn or Malenia, if they had you down to 0 flasks while they still had half their HP, you could potentially activate gamer mode and play aggressive and win, and even if you didn’t you just went back to the grace and walked back in. Libra would make your entire 30-40 minute run void because it’s just insanely hard to carry in and every members has to bring something to clear the condemned ASAP.
just got the floaty cloakis there anyway out of this area without beating 4th chorus? I don't see any other paths
>>719855000The trinkets are worthless against her anyways because you ain't gonna land shit on her, and the bells will just trigger the blade traps.
>>719860924im at belhart, but shits fucked. now im in shellwood. and i died to purple flies because fuck the flying enemies in this game are AIDS
>>719861065u have to beat itit is braindead boss desu
>>719861065not that i know of, what a gay and slow boss fight
>>719861085THROW DAGGERS. They died in two hits to the daggers
>>719856491Horny has a generous hover on most attacks and Knight falls like a brick as soon as you stop holding jump. Timing his down stabby shortsword to pogo requires tight timing, hornet requires anticipation mostly. You also don't fall straight down into the enemy and take dmg like in original game as often. I ate shit with knight for a long time before getting used to it, yet barely miss divekicks here.
>>719861065Fourth chorus is one of the easiest bosses.
>>719861112the three spread one?
>>719861092yeah i feel like i can do it, just confused because in HK you could always run back and do other stuff whereas i'm stuck in this zone until i beat itI could understand not being able to go forward until i beat a boss, but now i can't even go to the crafts smith or anything
>>719859856elden ring's bullshit picked up late game.early game was pretty standard.
>>719856774yes goy, pay the tax
>>719860293The fractured mask is trash. The magnetite dice are better.
>>719860993It doesn't matter if the ball trajectories are marked when there are shittons of them and they bounce around, and I also have to keep track of the cunt charging at me with her needles. I just end up being hit by something, my eyes can't track fucking eveything at the same time.
>>719860407A tragedy.
>>719861174Yes
>>719853386>3 mask damage hits before youve had 1hp upgradeanon if you couldnt figure this out, this game isnt for you, youre too dumb for it.
is magma bell needed for progression?is there any must buy from forge sisters?
>>719861484anons say some red trap but those npcs dont have it
>>719861484trust me when I say thisyou want the magma bellnot for progression, but because fire is BAD BAD BAD
>>719861484Magma bell isn't needed, just hop on the coal floors.The spike trap is nice for a few boss fights because it can multi hit
>>719861484Think of magma bell as purchansing half a spool upgrade + fire res
>>719859308keep going east from lower marrow into the forges
>>719838591>the bigger enemies deal twice as much damage as the small enemies!git gud
Close enough. Welcome back, City of Tears
>touch a fat person>fly away 5 meters from the recoil
>>719861786>move towards flying enemy>he moves away>jump up to attack him>he keeps moving awayFUCK
The fuck do you mean plasmium you quack scientistThis blue glowy shit with butterflies is clearly lifeblood
>>719862345FINALLY some good fucking shit.
>>719862469>it's "incompatible" with pollip pouch and makes the extra health self-destruct into huge poison clouds
