Why is she so polite?
>>719899348She’s a princess going on a fairytale adventure
>>719899348at what point did you realize this is a terrible game?
>>719899348I was gonna say she was raised by three queens but is that still canon? I'm not far enough into the game
>>719899348Constant Pale King beatings.
>>719899348Is Hornet an unashamed exhibitionist?
>>719899458You misspelled "I suck ass and also I'm reddit".Go back.
Gillychads, do you remember the locations she was at? Either specifically or the general map areas? I found her first location but that's it.
>>719899531Hunters March, then dead ends rooms around the area where you fight antkikes.
is there actually zero checkpoint before the last judge because this is like Manus tier runback
>optional phantom bossfightthis is going to filter so many people
If you are on CH1 just stop playing. Games are not made for you, get a new hobby and fuck off.
>>719899348She has dignity, you should try it sometime
>>719899348fucking FINALLY
>>719899458>prebbitors when they get memed into using pogo in combat
>>719899561You will do your precision platforming and you will LIKE it.
>wanderer crestSo they literally put an option to go back to hollow knight's moveset, what are shitters still crying about?
how do I unfuck Bellhart? do I just keep moving past Shellwood?
>can't sprint/dash anymore for some reasonwhy are the controls in this game so fucking buggy?
What was the point of this nude scene?
>>719899458I got to the hunter's march / ant area, a generic ant and flying ant enemy takes 4 hits to kill map system also sucks like the original
Please respond how the hell do I get here
I find it curious how so many Act 1 exploration rewards are mostly rosaries.Like I get the logic. Most of the items are now centralized around select shops and rosaries are stupidly hard to come by in Act 1. It's a very curious balancing act TC did that I don't think panned out as well as just dotting the entire map with mask/soul shards, grubs, charms, and relics.Act 2 is way WAY better though. But the fact that Act 2 shits out so much rosaries makes exploration back in Act 1 a bit weaker.All in all though things are still kino and this is a personal GOTY contender for me. It's HK and then some. Lacks the melancholy though.
I keep hitting bosses that make me go "this is fucking bullshit that is actually impossible" and then after a few runs they click and I dance around them and do it hitless. Just happened with Widow. I think the difficulty in this game might actually be perfect.
>>719899458> t.
>>719899612I wonder what must happen in a person's life for them to so desperately need to cling to fleeting achievements with such jealously. How base you must be, how little you must hold dear. Interesting but also disgusting.
This guy is harder than Nightmare King Grimm, and that's a good thing.
>>719899651>Make new game for 7 years>Everyone goes to find the secret that lets you play the game the same way as the old one ignoring the new movesets because they suckGee I wonder
>bench disappears when Shakra leavesGod damnit I hate this shit
I can't do it. Morwing is ending me. I'm going hollow.
>>719899723>he doesn't know there's a harder beastfly later onOH NO NO NO NO
>>719899657Yeah, keep going. You loop back into it through Shellwood pretty quickly and do it then.
>>719899657Shellwood, get wall climb, proceed to go up and to the right, figure out how to get into the Bellwall of Bellhart, fuck around in a bell maze until you find a bell bitch and get belled on. Dong.
>>719899735greymoor? theres literally one next to it
>>719899703Not at Act 2 yet still on the Last Judge. Is it any better than Act 1 in terms of actually rewarding exploration
It took 10 attempts for me...
Did you guys hit the perv in the spa?
>>719899729They don't suck, in fact they are way better, the fact your small nigger brain can't adapt to them, doesn't make them bad.
>>719899558Ohhhhhh, here I was looking in fucking far fields and greymoor
>>719899348This is my map currently, what's my current best place to grind anal beads?
>>719899718Literally impossible
TAKE THAT YOU PIECE OF SHIT
just saved the bellhart guyswhere the fuck do i go now? i didnt mark the doors on the map and the doors i did try didnt open from playing music
>>7198997914 screens away
>>719899458+1
>Find Shakra>Can't afford map>Ok I'll explore to get money to buy map>Go back to Shakra>She's gone>No map for the rest of the levelWhen do we kill this bitch
>>719899689Metal Gear Solid 2 reference
>>719899810Bro.... its just reskinned hornet fight from HK
>>719899723just get lucky bro
>>719899637>instead of 1hp per hit it is now 1.5hp per hit!>oh yeah, the enemies beyond have their hp scaled up to this revolution!>well worth the wait!
>>719899810Fucking HOW, senpai? she's the easiest thing I've faught so far and I got her on the first try. >>719899868go back to bone bottom and smack her ring where you typically find her and she'll appear.
>>719899875I didn't play HK.
>>719899834LMAO unironically Hunter's March
>>719899709The bosses are designed with the intent of the player being able to move out of the way of their attacks, rather than use i-frames. Which means that all you have to do is move better to winJust like Hollow Knight, when you understand the patterns you realize just how much you can do to the boss. It's a good combat system
Is Cornifer coming back later in the game?
>>719899883The trick is to pogo. Never jump unless absolutely necessary.
>>719899718Ah yes, the Cuphead tutorial. Exquisite.
Is anything missable so far? I'm scared of going to chapter 2 without exploring everything in chapter 1.
>>719899923fuuuck
This game is too hard for me
Alright, home from club. As promised here is the full map for anyone who wants to see it. BTW if you are still in act one you have seen less than 1/6th of the world.
>>719899810
>>719899721I'm having fun and you are not. Time to go back to e33 sister
>>719899910She is the only thing I died on so far. I'm becoming old.
>>719899790>Shellwood, get wall climbsorry I'm an actual retard or maybe I'm barely alive after playing at 3AM, where?
>>719899925For all my bitching about the contact damage ESPECIALLY when a boss staggers I do agree that this system is still one of the most to master in a metroidvania.
My hands hurt.My brain hurts.Im tired after 15 hours of gaming.I dont know where to go.but im having fun.
>>719899810I only died to Lace like once or twice because I was fucking around with the dash and fell in to the lava. She can't compete with Hornet at all, the Ants are more threatening
>>719899976JESUS CHRIST MY EYES
>>719899689Metroid Zero zero suit Samus callback>>719899834very next area after Far Fields has enemies that drop ~18 per kill. Just go there
>>719899976I'm not gonna fucking look at it but I'm gonna save it. thanks senpai.
>>719899883>jumping right into the enemyEven I know that's not a good moveI mean, I still DO it, but...
>>719899932You find his wife later in the game where she reveals he died from having his pelvis shattered one night.
>>719899976what the fuck is wrong with team cherry. The world is not even that interesting compared to metroid, this is just a huge waste of time.
>>719899503I love how, when you get the ability to float, Hornet just undresses completely.
What the FUCK do I do in Act 2Do i try to reach the citadel thingies? I don't have the skills though, I'm stucked
>>719899834Ignore the march. The area to the left of The Marrow's bell beast transit station near the elevator down to the town in Bone Bottom there is a loop you can take which has a bench in the halfway point. You can easily grind 500 beads for the simple key in about ten minutes just doing loops.
>>719899976HOLY FUCKING CHRIST
>>719899976And this is before DLC
>>719899990??? How do you know I'm not having fun? What the fuck kind of fantasy world do you live in?Also I didn't touch E33 because French.
Is there a difficulty fix?
I don't understand people who switch off of hunter. The dive sending you forward is so good for positioning and so much of the platforming seems balanced around it. And no other crest seems to do this.
>>719899723No idea what you fags are talking about. Beat it on my second try because I came in with 1 HP on my first.
>>719900039Bitte anon
>>719899976Wait. Did you finish the game already? How many hours?
>>719900128Yes, git gud
>>719900128left hand on wasd
>>719899976I'm in act 1 but I've been to 12 areas so farHow many are there in total? Someone count it for me so I don't spoil myself
>>719900005Nah you're good bro I'm doing the same shit. Ok so basically, Shellwood is hellwood but continually try to explore upwards you will eventually find a Bell Bench. This is your spot to get into Bellhart from. From the Bell Bench you'll go up, left, right, find an elevator, I think you'll also get the wall climb at the same time, that elevator has a bell wall on its right, the wall has a weak spot, you're in.
>>719899976okay anon can i get this in a first world language please
>>719899918Makes sense then, hornet filtered many
>>719899976I'm only 3.5 hours in, got to hunter's march. I feel like I've already seen enough bullshit that this is daunting more than anything
>>719900179Cartographer achievement says 28 maps.
>>719900179Game straight up tells you there's maps for 28 areas
>>719899348Should I use my key here? I also know there’s one in the wormways and one in deep docks, can’t decide
>>719899723You did realize that he can crush the other bugs right...?You did use him as a ram to crush the bugs?
I feel like that the game is artificially prolonged>3-5 hours. >Explored only 4 areas>didn't upgrade health at all>special meter barely moved
>you can evolve crestsThe progression system in this game are way better than the ones in the original.
>>719900236Get ready for gaping.
pretty cool there are two routes into the citadel but the second one is behind a hard as balls optional hidden boss
Am I done with Sinners Path after finding the maggot slave guy?
>>719899976I thought the game was small due to people speedrunning it but it seems like they literally skipped most of the content cause jesus that's a lot of stuff.
>enemies can be used for platformingkino
Had to play this to farm beads for my mom and it is honestly much smoother and better than HK
>>719899976This is like going from Dark Souls to Elden Ring. It just keeps going.
>>719899348Any benefit to killing that poison spewing creature guarding the locked room above Bone Town or whatever its called?
>>719900281HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DEDICATE ONE-TIME POWERUPS WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IF I'LL FIND A BETTER CREST LATER
>think splinter is impossible>beat it in 6 triesThese bosses are fun, and gives me the same feeling as hollow knights.
>>719900343Lol are you the anon from the other thread who said she'd be asking him for help
>>719899856
>>719900359Not sure but you do have to kill it to fill the bestiary and do snail's quest.
someone post their map of the citadel please
>Now even using a bench costs currency.Oh come one.
>>719900359Satisfaction.
Reminder that zoomsissies can't even beat the first stage.
>>719899348She's submissive and needs someone strong enough to dom her.>>719899689Team Cherry knew people would just mod this in anyway, so decided to do their work for them. Only now modders have a base sprite to make curvy, which Team Cherry knew would happen anyway. >>719899703Yea, it's actually a step back imo. I get why they did it, but it doesn't feel rewarding to do a side platformer quest and just get...rosaries at the end. Like thanks - I could have probably gotten this many Rosaries if I just farmed some mobs a few maps away from this, and I wouldn't have risked dying and having to retrieve my current rosaries halfway into the challenge. They really should have stuck to giving actual rewards, exploration just doesn't feel as exciting this time around.
>>719900341time to backtrack kek
>>719899976>BTW if you are still in act one you have seen less than 1/6th of the world.No wayNO FUCKING WAYSomeone tell me if this Anon is bullshitting or not I do not want to open that spoiler
>>719900376You can probably get enough to max all of them.
>>719899702There's a hospital in the Citadel.
What does filtered mead? If a boss took like 100 attempts but I still beat it in the end without even get angry, am I filtered?
>>719900438This post is going to age like a Hollywood actress.
>>719900438anon not everyone is unemployed
>>719900128After having played it with M&K and a gamepad I found a gamepad was much easier, especially if you have mappable back buttons you can assign to your Up and Down tools.Tools are easy mode. Grind out all the trinkets and accessories to power them up and it will make your life much happier than trying to ungabunga shit with just your needle. Don't worry about saving shell fragments, they drop everywhere constantly.
THEY TOOK MY CLOTHES!!!!
Important question Silkscholars.Do we think Team Cherry should have let you swap between crests like styles?
>>719899458>HUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRR, I'm super aggressive and don't dash strike, why am I being punished?God these people. They put so much two mask damage because you have a lot of tools to defend yourself. You don't need to use silk for ranged attacks, because you have tools. Healing gives three masks instead of 1 at a time. So it is worth it more to stay in the fight. I've just been more mindful of my positioning and haven't had the problems these guys are complaining about.
>>719900484Depends who is using it. Really it's just dependent on consensus, Beastfly is justifiable to get roid rage over but Bellbeast is literally a Moss Charger with very obvious telegraphs.
>>719900478It's true.
>>719900378HOWHOW??????SHE DOES ALLL THE DAMAGE AND HAS ALLL THE HEALTH AND SPAWNS FUCKING ADDS THAT ALSO KILL YOU INSTANTLY ITS NOT FUCKING FAIR
>>719899639pogo was great in hollow knight thoughever
Judge is absolutely pushing my shit in, a mid level boss that's harder than the radiance it's insane
>>719900529would have been more ludo
>>719900596USE YOUR FUCKING SPEAR RETARDIT BLOWS UP ADDS IN ONE CASTUSE THE FUCKINGSPEAR
>>719900484think bro. how do filters work?when you put a filter in something, what is it supposed to do?are the things blocked by the filter or getting past the filter considered "filtered out"?
bros where to go after widow? the wormplace doesn't seem to lead anywhere or do I really need to buy that 500bead fucking key?
>>719900478nah you can get to 13/28 areas before even entering the citadel, id say act 1 is more like 40% of the game
Oh my god I'm so fucked.>>719900527You and I are in the same boat, brother...
>>719900596Dude Sister Splinter is fucking cancer, can’t stand the cunts that say she is easy. I beat her last night but I almost popped a blood vessel, widow and moorwing aren’t even close to as annoying as her. Good luck anon, just keep roughing it out.
>>719900596Claw attacks are always left right left. If you see thorns spawned focus them. The flying fuckers only take 3 hits and can be parried if you don't get caught in the windmill. I got her in 3 tries but the first two had me raging. With all the camaraderie I can muster anon, you've got this git gud.
>>719900634WHAT FUCKING SPEAR?YOU MEAN ALLLLLL MY FUCKING HEALTH???THAT I NEED TO LIVE???
Is the church/sanctuary thing supposed to charge you money every single time you enter it?
>>719900596Use your silk spear or the AOE silk move. Splinter is basically forcing you to use your skills and tools to deal with the adds ASAP by oneshotting them. Her pattern is extremely simple too, it's always just alternating swings.
>>719900379Yeah lol, I had to finish HK for her
>>719900512sorry for your economic stability.
>>719899979I only lost my first fight against her because she hit me with that double hit attack into lava. I beat her second try without having to heal.Lace is easier than the Mantis Lords from Hollow Knight.
>>719899810I'm worried for you anon, Lace is practically a tutorial fight.
the runback for the act 1 last boss is satanic wtf team cherry i got that ass tho
>>719900380>have to beat craw lake to access bench
moornig was easy i killed him with default attacks lol
>>719900378i thought she was really easy. the boss right after her though...
>>719900709Break the wheel above the door on the inside when you unlock it.
Why are all the speaking characters female?
>>719900596I used spear and the spike tool. Just gotta know the cues, my man
what the fuck is this runback man?
>>7199004781st Act is basically a prologue. 2nd act is the meat and potatoes of the story and game. 3rd act is the finale. 1st act is just unlocking basic movement skills and some tools to teach you how the systems work. 2nd act will give you many skills, tools, and trinkets as well as copious amounts of beads to buy stuff with so not only is there an insane amount of map to traverse but you will backtrack to gather everything you couldn't get in the prologue. 3rd act is where you bring all the tools, skills, and experience you gained together to challenge the truth of Pharoom.Also we still have three to four DLCs planned that are supposed to expand the world and map greatly.Now you understand why every other indie dev is crying tears of blood over the $20 price tag.
>>719899348funny how zoomers don't have sexy women in their games outside of gachashit, so now they have to lust over a stick
ahemfuck the savager NIGGERfly
Just got to spider woman. I give up.
>>719900706Just don't lose health lol
>that flea that peeps on you in the hot tub>you can beat the shit out of him aftergonna be some good art from this game
>>719900579that's 17%, almost 1/5th of the world. You zoomniggers can't even do simple math. BRO THATS CRAZY BRO hey go donate some money to your streamer friend
>>719900713Based anon helping his mother. I hate mine but respect the archetype. Good on you lad.
>>719900596Oh and reaper crest for all the silk
>>719900706How the FUCK are you getting hit by her basic bitch 3 slam combo?The adds are the only tricky part and they die in ONE(1) CAST
Are you kidding me right now?? my wife is naked
>read previous threads>learned about where the bridge “was”Ok, did anyone else fall down the giant hole from the top and just happened to fall and break this thing? I can not believe my precise falling. It does however explain why I ended up at the very start.
>>719900814Go to sleep to get those neurons solidified and one-try her tomorrow.
>>719900667>ugly bastards sniffing Hornet's cloak
>>719900781worst runback in any game i have ever played holy shit just let me fight the boss probably an even gayer one coming up
>>719900814The Widow? It's honestly not that hard once you realize you can only reliably hit her when she's throwing the bells at you. Focus on dodging the rest of her attacks
>>719900781Reminder to equip your magma defense charm.
>>719900771They're bugs. Bugs are primarily female. Whodathunkit
Did Team Cherry just pull a fucking Elden Ring on the map size?
>>719900781Silksong has made me realize that after Stakes of Marika in Elden Ring, I want tough bosses and no run back. The runbacks are pretty annoying now.
>>719900861Spoilers, anon.
>>719899458It's so fucking funny how whenever they have any complaint about a game they have to say "my ONLY complaint" and shield it behind 10 compliments
>>719900830how?I tried to smack him but he went away and when talking with him I got no new dialogue
that group fight with the map vendor in the hunters march fucking sucked. yes I love having 18 things flying around independently on my screen yeah that's great love it more please
>>719899637idk if there is a bug in the game or something but last night i got this upgrade and didn't feel a difference. then this morning when i booted it back up i felt powerful. probably just mental, but made me think the change didn't take effect til i restarted the game
>>719900861UHHHH MODS?
Is there even enough ore to make everything in this game? You need so fucking much of it and I still only found one.
So now that Shadelord(Delicate Flower) ending is canon, does that mean our guy Hollow Knight is free of the infection and recovering in Hallownest?
>>719900964It's honestly better if you already went all the way to Farlands and got the upgrades so she doesn't spawn. She just fuckin yells and takes up so much space on screen. I'm the MC bitch I've got this thanks very much.
>>719900990>and I still only found one.I've found 3 and only found 1 use for it
>>719900964Wait until you get to the group fight where the enemies are almost the same color as the background.
>>719900781was waiting for anons to eventually post this garbage. Judge isn't even that hard of a bossfight but the runback makes it hard since its a bit of time between attempts
>>719900781It wasn't that bad, half of it can be avoided if you are using Reaper because the downswipe has such a large hitbox. I just wish they put a thing to allow you to go over the last jump instead of under with the sandworms.
This game is too hard. Just one hour in and everything instakills you
the SINGULAR low point of this game so far is having to farm 25 Spine Cores
They are taking the fucking piss with this run back to The Last Judge
>>719899723>beat this fat faggot>fun fight>oh, what's this... the "beast crest"?>oh, I can change my crest at a bench, I understand>wait, why are my attacks different?>why is it auto-equipped?>why am i doing a fucking Sonic homing attack?!>alright, I lost a lot of health getting out of here, let's h->wait>I can't fucking heal>I have this lifesteal bullshit now>well, that's okay, if I die I'll respawn at the last bench I rested at>die>I respawn in front of the fucking church>that's okay, I'll just check my m->wait>i didn't have enough rosaries to buy a map and when i went back to buy it, the map girl was gone>also the crest unequipped my fucking compass and anal bead magnetThis is genuinely such shit game design. Auto-equipping the crest that changes how you heal, changes how you platform, and arbitrarily resetting your respawn point to bum-fuck nowhere behind a couple jumps you can't just clear with the sprint and cloak. And to make matters worse, the beast crest is just pure shit from what I've seen.I'm loving the game otherwise, but what the fuck, man.
aye bruh what the fuck a nigga sposed to do in gaymore where the map trick at I done everything else at this point until a nigga fight out what two do hear
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>719900990You can buy one if you recall. To be fair, nothing in the shop require it aside from the trap maker from what I’ve seen.
Wow, Widow is the boss everyone's complaining about? Really? That took me like 3 tries, why is everyone having a prob->She comes back for a second round
>>719901121I-is that what happens if you don't hunt it down for the sidequest?
>>719901114This one moment is enough for me to gang style execute all three of TC. Even if the rest of the game is 10/10 this one design choice got me.
>>719899976I'M GONNA CUM
so its good?how does it compare to the first game?man I haven't played HK in like 5 years kek
>>719900483Oh shit where? Do you get teleported into that part of Pilgrim's rest or what?
>>719900341I assume it was intended, but this is one of the first things I did in the moss area above the first town. It just led me to a door that required a key, and no way am I grinding 500 anal beads just for whatever disappointment is behind it.
>>719901134>>She comes back for a second roundoh no, 3 more tries
>>719901134Yeah, you and me both>phew, that wasn't too bad>wonder what all the fuss was abo->AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH WHAT THE FUCK
>>719901101It’s actually fast if you’re fast enough to drag him into a good position and just slap all the spines off the walls. The pilgrim cloth one took me longer. Farming beads took me even longer.
>>719901101I think it's fine but it will definitely suck on repeat playthroughs.Totally unneeded though yeah.
>>719901101>farmYou did notice that you needed to hit the spines, right?You get like 8 from each enemy if you try, and there is way more than enough to get 25 by just clearing the area.
>>719901168Looks like it happens after you do the quest. It happened randomly. Even destroyed the bench.
>>719901168No, it's what happens if you DO.Don't worry about it, they are all fine, except for that one Pilgrim by the bench, he's dead.
>>719901168No, that happens either way.>>719901121Come back later for a funeral.
>>719901178It's great but hardarguably too hard
I upgraded the default crest but forgot to actually read the text, so I have no idea what it does now. Something about more damage after focus? Does anybody have a screenshot perchance? Thanks.
>>719901178Kino, I'm afraid.
-300 anal beads because I tried to be smart and not retrieve them until I needed silk
>>719901267Nice job dickhead.
>>719901101wait till you see the crows that is literally>dude refresh the screen a dozen times and fight these things
>>719899637>Like half the enemies don't even get a hit taken off by this>citadel enemies still take like ten hitsGettin real tired of this shit. Even HK wasn't this bad.
I am being filtered so fucking hard by this one fucking jump
>>719901114What? You would have known about the auto equipping from Reaper. Do people get Beast before Reaper?
>>719901134beat it on my second attempt, just cling to the walls bro
>>719901170Good to know I'm not fucking crazy for being genuinely mad at this. I think I played for probably three hours, but that was all I needed to take a break.
>>719901178>so its good?Very.>how does it compare to the first game?A straight up upgrade of everything. Including the difficulty.
>>719901101Anon, you can get like 8-16 cores per enemy. They shoot multiple times before they die when you hit them.
>>719901305Do you have the dash yet?
>>719901204>himwhomst?>>719901235wait what the fuck i thought this was just a loot drop on killit's just the things they shoot outwooooooooooooooooooooooooooow thanks team cherry
WANDERERS CREST IS AS FAST AS QUICK NAIL FROM THE FIRST GAMEWHAT THE FUCKWHY DID YOU TELL ME THIS SUCKED, REAPERKEKS?
>>719901319Nah this had me legitimately raging. Controlled but holy shit I was ready to curb stomp a fellow Aussie.
>>719901178if you like hard shit like Dark Souls and Hollow Knights end game than yeah its pretty good.complete downgrade in the other aspects that made Hollow Knight fun in the first place though.
I read that you get your first needle upgrade after beating Widow. I beat widow. Where do I find this needle upgrade?
>>719901306I did. It's not like I have any idea where I'm going. I always try to take the least obvious path first, though.>>719901101It was novel, but I don't really think it's good or anything. Just a moment of>Oh, that's neat I guessbut it's not like it's fun or engaging. The animation for picking up items from dead enemies is also very frustrating.
>>719901279go to the crests menu, the description is there

>>719900958idk, i let him get a peak and then jump up and hit him. then when i came back he was sorry and not i can just keep beating him around in the overworld
>>719901315I havent given it another go yet, stepped away for lunch after that. It was just the boss defeat animation playing and then her coming right back that had me sweating a little.
>watch silksong walkthrough>credits: 2 lead testers, 6 playtestersthat kinda explains the weird balancing
>you can bait chapel of the beast's slam attack to kill his adds>but sometimes he just randomly slams through the add and doesnt kill itfucking bullshit, only reason i lost the last 2 runs
>>719900948The main problem with the run backs is that you fucking have to with any boss go through a period of learning the boss which developers of every Soulslike game ever made seems to have not even considered as a factor. Even if the run back is a straight line, if it is too long that is still adding a buffer between all your practice attempts. It's not challenging, it's just annoying only getting one attempt every few minutes. This is mobile game design but without the paying to teleport back to the boss. I'll use Sister Splinter as an example, it's pretty easy to get to her and her patterns are pretty easy to figure out, but it still took me a few tries to figure her out and the run back is at least a minute and a half especially since you have to wait for the lift to raise you up. It took me about 6 or 7 tries to beat her. The boss ended up taking about 5 minutes because of course every boss in this game has 2 million health as well which means a boss that should have taken 10 to 15 minutes tops ended up taking about half an hour to 45 minutes.Now I'm on the Widow lady and it's the same exact shtick, except now not only do I have to wait for the same lift but I have to circle back and kill an enemy to use the "short cut" as well.
>>719901178HK is a piece of garbage flash game that's dicksucked by zoomniggers that love to kill the gaming industry and others hobbySilkSong is the same but it no longers feel like a cheap flash game, it feels like a regular flash game. Also lolsprint
>carrying 500 bone shards>no fucking idea what to do with them>every time I find a breakable wall or a hidden room, it has more fucking bone shards I can't carry in it
How do I reach Shakra in Bilewater?
>>719901440>that one secret in Underworks that just takes your rosaries and tells you to get back to work wagie.I'm gonna start tweaking if I find another progression thing I'm too broke for.
So is there any point in using anything but the Wanderer's Crest?
good grief, she's naked!
>finally hit my filter where I have to decide between which 3 shitty fights I want to do.And I'm barely in. Some of these runbacks were great and some are terrible.
>>719901490are they stupid? tiny testing clique is a classic failure mode
is there no bench in the ant area? not the trapped benchI swear this is the worst runback so far
>>719901519Kino fight.
is shit supposed to be making my controller vibrate so much sometimes it feels random
Why the fuck did they decide to put every bullshit mechanic possible into Hunter's March?>a ton of backtracking>incredibly annoying enemies>traps that are basically impossible to see and take two masks of health>more pogoing than anything in the original game short of Path of Pain>you finally find a bench>SIKE it's a trap that instakills youI can't fucking take it anymore.
>>719901529The shards are used to replenish your subweapon. You can equip subweapons like Castlevania. They're comparable to hearts in Castlevania.
>>719901491Seems to only kill on the vertical slams
>>719900948I don't mind them, but I have that speedrunner autism so I get some sense of enjoyment out of optimizing the runbacks. The beast one was the worst thus far, and it was sort of fun to treat it like an obstacle course.But yes, it's probably better off without them. I hate what Stakes of Marika did to Elden Ring's dungeon-crawling, but I see why they're a necessary evil. The grace spam in that game cannot be excused, however.
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE BITCH WITH THE MAPS
>>719901389I prefer hunter and beast.Yes I am a hipster.
>>719901613The same reason they let players enter it so early.
HELPI'm being BUTTFUCKED by Last Judge
Wait what Shadelord is canon now?
>>719901613Not to "l2p" you but I've literally not had any of these issues
>>719901625I see. There was a wish early on to dump some on the repairman in town, so I wasn't sure whether they were some sort of subcurrency on top of being ammunition. Guess I'll use my subweapons more.
>>719899692Use your power, it's much stronger than the spell in HK.
>you still take damage from touching stunned bossesfuckingbullshit
>>719899651>>719899729I love the diagonal poke and I'm staying with the default crest the whole game. Anything else is non-canon.
>>719901529>meanwhile I'm scrounging for rosaries like an addict diving after a crack rock>haven't even lost any since Hunter's March, but I refuse to grindAlso fuck all these bug niggers for taxing me to string them I won't pay it.
>>719901490I was wondering how much they playtested Last Judge and the runback. That killed my 8-hour session last night and I still don’t feel like trying again.
>>719900952To be fair is the only way not to get ravaged by the absolutely cancerous community this game has
>>719901613the bench triggered me but you can turn the trap off
when i pogo and change direction on the red grapes to pogo again she only changes it in one animation, the other one seems to play out and follow my input but if i downward attack again it disregards it and flies diagonally to the wrong side. Is my controller a POS, or is there something am i retarded?
>>719901613Hunter's march is probably the devs teaching you to visit other places first to get your upgrades then come back to it so you can breeze through it but if you really want your ass raped then by all means go through it.
>die 4 times in the wanderer's shrine because reaper crest pogo just won't fucking movereaper is such bait, hunter all the way
>>719901598There's one at the bottom before it transitions into the Docks and whatever the magma area is called (I can't remember).
>>719901613CH1 levels are borderline tutorials
>>719901589>are they stupid?probably just lazy
>>719901640i know, but i've seen him slam straight through mobs multiple times and not kill them, he even slammed through 2 at once one time and only killed one of them

>>719900785I’m going to start a steam discussion topic at some point in the future for a shitty early access indie game that costs more than $20 and ask why it costs so much when it has less content and value compared to Silk Song. This topic in particular really triggers some indie devs
I feel rapes
>>719901826I have faith in you, anon. Which is a nice way of saying you're going to get assfucked
>>719901598You can disable the trap...>>719901609The vibration gives you some information. If something you are walking over is rickety and might break, if something you are walking on is dangerous, or if there is something very large and dangerous walking nearby are some examples of what the rumble is cluing you into.
I tried to not use any tools but feels like they are just mandatory
>>719901807All I can say is that literally any time he did the vertical clam he instakilled whatever adds he summoned for me
I haven't gone down Hunter's March yet so the game is still a 10/10 to me.
>>719901789If you need more height with Reaper just pogo float then pogo again.
>>719901878beast mode, hahaaa
>>719901692Anons who beat TLG, please give me some fucking tips I'm losing my mind hereUnironically, they should patch this fight it's ridiculous, at the very least put a bench a little closer fucking hell team cherry.
can someone give me a clue what i'm supposed to do after Far Fields? i am in Graymoor and figured out how to bounce off the air bags upward into the air, and i got the circular attack from the Weaver. but what now? where to go? or am i in the wrong area?
>>719901878Beast is gonna be #1 for actual bosses when bench run is quick and you have all the upgrades.
>>719901878if you add in the letter r it becomes breast
>>719901613>got trolled by the game auto-equipping the Beast Crest after Savage Beastfly>didn't find the bench on my first run through the area>find it as I'm desperately looking for a bench to swap the fuck off this shit crest>mfw I had two HP left
>>719901178>Is it good?Yes>how does it compare to the first game?Some aspects are better but then some design decisions would make you wonder what the hell was Team Cherry thinking.I'm in act 2 so about halfway (or almost halfway) through the game and overall, I prefer the first game so far, purely just for the world, which I find less interesting in Silksong.
>>719901878hornet says rawr but that's about it
>>719901878it has a cool looking pogo. >watch it become the must use for speedruns
>>719901114I have no idea how that made it into the game. They should unironically patch it so it does not auto equip. Insanely shit design
>>719900667She's so fucking sexy, how do they expect me to play without pausing every 2 minutes to jack off?
Why cant you parry sitll? are the devs really so bad at thisenemies can parry to counterattack, but the player can just block
>>719901613Just come back later if you think the area is too hard, why are people so retarded?
>>719901764>Also fuck all these bug niggers for taxing me to string them I won't pay it.>find rosary machine>still charges $20
>>719901692>>719901943Leap and the toss are free hits, just dash under and jump in phase two and simply jump over the reel back for the second, it won't hit you at all if you're close. Spin is the only bullshit one you just have to dash out the moment you see her spin the lantern and don't stand in the smoke rings for phase two. her big arena dive is also easy to dodge, just jump it and move out of the explosions. She's really not that bad the god awful runback just makes it take forever to learn.
Can Hornet SHAW or not
>>719901943Don't get hit. That's all you need to know
>>719902053Pharoom is run by jews.
HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO WIN AGAINST THIS?THIS FIGHT IS BULLSHIT
>>719901826Never gonna make it with the bugs, kid.
>>719901907>Hunter's MarchWhen am I going to get there? I’ve got floating already
>>719901918I want to hit something vaguely underneath me. reaper works fine for well defined movement (yuge boss like the flying cunt near the reaper shrine) but the moment stuff moves back and forth, like some flying enemies or the fat fuck pilgrim from the very early game, you just hover impotently in place and accumulate contact damagehunter pogo >> reaper pogoreaper dash + normal attacks > hunter
>>719901987>I prefer the first game so far, purely just for the world, which I find less interesting in SilksongI'm still in Act 1, but Silksong's world feels a little... I don't know, contrived. The visual design of the areas is fantastic, but nothing about the worldbuilding has left a strong impression on me yet.
>>719901878beast is complete retarded bullshit because it has the WORST poggo in the gamelike i would love to take it for the last judge because she's currently BEATING MY SHIT RAW but having to do the runback with it sounds even worse than trying to bruteforce my way with the boss with some shittier one it's unbelievable
>>719902116That's one game that the internet and zoomers ruined for me. I would've enjoyed ER more if the internet didn't exist but alas Bloodborne will always be king.
>get hit twice (2)>quit to menusimple as
>>719901654The catacombs in Elden Ring's DLC figured out a good middle-ground where there are less graces in the dungeon but more stakes of marika, so you can respawn but without the advantages a grace has.Unfortunately they never applied this to the rest of the game.
Why did he do it?
>>719902129Beat the bouncer
How do you evolve your crests? I only got the default Hunter one evolved. Still stuck using the default one because I wasted 2 memory thing on the Beast before realizing it doesn't heal.
>>719902204Who?
>Oh? You would like some mask shards and resources? Well I just don't know if we can afford that right now...>Badges? You want badges for health? Well that's just silly, why would you want more health? You can heal a whole extra point! Now be on your way...
>>719902192He has been in worse places
First sinner is kicking my ass so hard already lost count of my deathsWanted to get some help in youtube but there is nothingIll just go to sleep, it usually helps
>>719902248Big boi.
>>719901949someone please grant my wish
>>719902249>heal a whole extra point>take the same amount of hits anywaysI love this game.
>>719902192You wouldn't?
Will beating the ambush room in Craw Lake let me access something that makes Moorwing easier, or should I just kill Moorwing and keep going left?
>>719902290Go left.
how do i get to the very tippy top of hunters march
>>719901907I recognized that the guardian at the entrance would probably be trivialized if I had a dash so I moved on and began exploring other areas. I returned later in the game and just swept through the entire march like it was nothing. The Hunter's March is an example of a diagetic tutorial in that the devs are showing you, not telling you, that there will be areas in the game which will be too hard, so if you come back later when you are better equiped you can navigate them easily.The problem is that Hollow Knight cultivated a fanbase of autistic retards incapable of critical thinking. So without a guide to tell them where to go they just beat their heads against a wall.
god I fucking hate the stupid fucking birds
>>719902192 Weaver pussy hit different
>>719901181In the top-right corner of Citadel there is a key. Somewhere around the bottom middle of Citadel is a room with an elevator that is locked with a lock that has a surgical symbol on it. Check your map for unexplored rooms.
>>719901878which one of these has the easiest pogo
>>719902296I bet that when I'll finally get the 7th mask, ennemies will start hitting for 3 masks so it'll round up the same.
>>719901826I've been consistently dying a lot to every boss, but I'm getting through the game just fine.
>>719902290You go west. That's it, I don't think it's any more complicated than thatCome to think of it I can't recall why you need to raise the balloons, or if it's just for optional stuff
does hunter's march not have an actual boss? there's the chapel and the challenge at the end. that's it?
balance fix mod when?
>>719902324>>719902415thanks
>if your healing gets interrupted, silk is wastedwho THE FUCK thought this was a good idea?
>>719902116not even, this is the horse knight nigga equivalent
>>719902369gotcha thanks anon
Idk if it’s because of the slash I’m using but hit detection feels noticeably worse here than in Hollow Knight. I feel like I’m getting hit a lot more by just touching an enemy while trying to hit them.
>>719902341think the intended way is with the updraft cloak.idk if you can pogo off enemies thobut be warned its just another one of those annoying hammer enemies and this time he has a flying friend
>>719902050Because I have two bosses I can fight right now, one is there and one is in Greymoor, and they both fucking annihilate me while I can't even find a single goddamn health upgrade. So all I can do is bash my head against the wall until one of them dies.
>>719901301More like 15 hits because sometimes you miss the hit because they magically float away from you as you approach.Really tired of that shit. Fighting enemies is not fun.
>>719902374Reaper is ultra easy mode pogo.
>Keep losing hits to instinctually trying to void cloak dash thingsPlease God tell me you get it at some point. I've lost so many fights to this.
O HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO
>>719902374Wanderer. It's just the Knight's moveset from the last game. If you are familiar with that it will be like slipping on an old pair of gloves.
>>719902343Unfortunately for the developers, I'm too fucking GAWDLIKE for self-reflectionAlso even if I didn't first try Big Red, I probably would have bruteforced him because it was less trouble to simply press forward than it would have been to backtrack and find another path.
How long is this game? I'm currently on the breakers desert thing left to the forest
>>719902449Get the bell charm.
>>719901581kek, same. I hate flying enemies.
>>719902449So just like soul healing in HK?
What the fuck is this second phase against Widow, Jesus fucking Christ.
>>719902468For some reason Hornet's attacks have tiny ass hitboxes and her hitbox is fucking xboxhueg. The enemies are all also massive fucking squares.
Comparing Silksong to Hollow Knight is exactly the same as comparing Dark Souls 2 to Dark Souls 1.The game is pretty fun and more polished in a way but it feels flat and too streamlined.To be fair they set the bar pretty fucking high with Hollow Knight
Is there only one ending?
>>719902548What is it with Team Cherry and their love of the>annoying flying piece of shit who hovers ever so slightly outside of your rangeenemy archetype
>>719902541Based on the spoiler someone posted, like 20% or so.
>>719902374reaper 100%
I did not beat the game,And I'm okay with that.For those that want to join me, used reaper crest.
FARI DUNA SEMA NET
>>719902505No dark souls panic roll for you.
This game seems extremely long or what? I'm like 10 hours in and only got 7/28 maps
filtered streamer clips?
>find item that makes you deal more damage, but you take more damage insteadOH YEAH YOU KNOW WHAT I WANTED, TO TAKE 3 MASKS OF DAMAGE ON EACH HIT
I'm only in Greymoor, is there a Quirrel stand-in like for Myla and Cornifer?
>>719902627Pathetic
widow is raping me
>>719902592So what you're saying is... the DLC will fix everything.>>719902634purenpurenpuren
FUCK, I just accidentally skipped the Moorwing boss by collecting 5 fleas and riding the caravan which deleted its boss arena, am I fucked out of 100% journal completion? There's also an NPC still waiting to fight Moorwing, it just feels like a glitch.I have a backup save from 2 hours ago, should I roll back?
>>719902541I meant you're 20% in.
>>719902636I JUST WANT TO SIDE SWAP AIEREEEEEE
where do I go after I get needle throw? I'm running in fucking circles?
>>719902564It's a whole different fight from the first phase, stick to the wall so you can wallkick and just dodge the bells, and when she teleports to the centre run in and get a hit or two. Maybe sneak a down attack in when she rushes at you if you're feeling confident
The anon who said widow would filter 75% of players was not joking.
>>719899810There's something really off about the dialogue boxes in this game.
In a 2020 interview someone on Team Cherry was saying SS would be a great jumping on point for newcomers, and the difficulty would be consistent with HK. WTF happened? It feels like SS is made as a extra hard DLC to HK
Whats the point of longnail? Does it do loadsa damage on account of being slow and woth big dropdown?Additionally what’s woth the bomberman enemy that spawns in the first area after the village later on? It leaves explosions in its wake and drops some orange crystal, is it some side quest or what? You can track them with that orange goop on the floor
>>719902627I did end up beating him, using NPC help he was practically useless and using all silk for damage late in the fight.
>>719902468Yeah, it's weird. The enemies also slide or something so they reach you and hit you before you hit them many times. I've missed a lot because I don't know my own range or something.
>>719902491There’s a guy upstairs in that area who can help you fight him
Is Mist random?I fucking cant progress the game
>>719902618>>719902704Lmao this is why this game took so long to come out, jesus this game is long, it might be too large for hornet to handle
>>719899639Pogo is fucking busted if properly used, it has INSANE i-frames (only on the base kit though, fuck everyone else)Shame there is such a huge fucking delay between button press and the pogo. It also has a really small hitbox so you sometimes miss when you shouldn't.
>>719901692use the boomerang you can buy in hunter's march, it deals a ton of damage
Hornet's dignity regained.I loved how the fight starts by hornet snapping the neck of one of the fat flies.
How to dodge Widow's fuck you 4 bell attack? That shit is getting annoying.
>>719902751Hanging in fucking circles*
You ARE speedrunning the game so you can beat it before the inevitable patch that nerfs everything in the ground, right? You DO want to beat the game, don't you?
>>719902703You meet him again later.
>>719902627lol idk what that is but i cheesed like 2 bosses already by hiding, idk what were they thinking with not locking you
Moorwing fucking suck
>>719902824Where exactly is that?>>719902063Good advice anon thanks, hopefully I'll beat it soon
>>719902701The DLC won't add moments like these
:no i-frames during dashI’m not used to this.
>>719902874cheeky fuck
>small background ants will carry away the corpses of big humanoid ants you've defeatedSOUL
>>719902876I'm unironically using mods to lower the difficulty.
The third fucking Plasmium just keeps eluding me...
>>719902769>WTF happenedThey had 8 testers
>>719902876just don't update.
>>719902427anyone knows? can't find a bell beast station either
>>719902914>Where exactly is that?
>>719902879Get above the arena in the Morwing fight where you enter into the area fromDownward slashIt hits him through the platform.
>>719902792>Additionally what’s woth the bomberman enemy that spawns in the first area after the village later on? It leaves explosions in its wake and drops some orange crystal, is it some side quest or what? You can track them with that orange goop on the floorSidequest. Go to the town of Bone Bottom, pick up the quest, and kill three of those guys. Return and you will get a locket which gives you more trinket slots on whichever crest you use it on. Lockets are a finite resource and you will not get enough to completely unlock all your crests.
how the fuck am I supposed to avoid beastfly if he's at a height I can't jump over?
>>719902876Not speedrunning it but the transknight community seems to be pretty bad at the game they sucked off so much. I'm also not collecting x/20 bluedingleberries fuck off.

Okay, I now hate Shards. Why do I need currency to use my subweapons? They're already limited by their ammo count.
>>719903173heh i also forgot the 2 weaver doors i stumbled upon the moment i got sneedolin
infuckingsane how much of /v/ is bitching and getting filtered by a platformer because it's not a total jokeprotip:use tools if you're a shittersome of those tools unironically can do half the boss's health or more by itself from safe distance
>>719902769i never played hollow knight in the first place and i just got reaper's crest and killed morwing,the hardest boss so far was >>719901856
>>719903039>Not speedrunning it but the transknight community seems to be pretty bad at the game they sucked off so much.Did you think>Biggest Hollow Knight fan excited to finally play the gamememe was just a meme? Trannies spend all day in discord and ERPing FFXIV. To keep themselves thinking about how miserable their existences are they listen to video essays on youtube. A not insignificant number of them latched onto Hollow Knight without ever playing because of those video essays. It exactly like when Elden Ring came out and all those "hardcore" darksouls fans were completely shitter shattered over the difficulty.
>>719902876TC won't nerf shit. People complained Hollow Knight was hard too and they didn't.But if they do I have my GOG installers for the old version.
>>719903219give me a clue bro
>>719903049just beat her minutes ago, thanks anyway
>used pogo>it’s literally one pixel away>touched an enemy as resultIt happens more often that I expected
I can't do it, I can't find all the fleas

GG

I can't fucking take this shit no more, man.
>>719899723He's hard because>two hits + addsbut really if you rush him down by pogo'ing his charges and keeping on his ass you can topple him before he starts summoning too many guys.

>>719903037the height of his dash is whatever height you're at when he starts it so you can manipulate it
>>719899883>that damagethe fuck when did you fight him
>>719901491yeah the fat one especially seems to be really inconsistent for this
>>719903248But I like bitching and getting filtered.
Any way to fast travel back from the citadel?
its happening
Two mask damage ain't so bad when you ain't got a bitch in your ear telling you they can't dodge
>>719903318I beat the beastfly as soon as it was available. It was a pain but he can smash even the fat flying guys. You just gotta get every possible hit in so he is stunned a lot and the fight doesn't last long enough so you get unlucky with the spawns
>>719903248>is bitching and getting filtered by a platformerGot filtered by last judge, the platforming parts are actually fun
>>719903283there seems to be some kind of invincibility on it because i've pogo'd with half my character model inside a boss and not gotten hit multiple times, but it seems inconsistent and i dont know how it works
>>719902341you need the wall jump i'm pretty sure
bitch made the fight harder
Are the rest of the acts good? I kinda can't stand act 1 and I haven't found ANY neat looking upgrades yet aside from being able to throw my nail and throwing knives.
Imagine the smell
>>719903496It's funny because they're actually not deadlier, they just generate orbs that replenish some of your silk
is it true that the magma badge thing protects you against the judge's fire?
>>719903576He's just like me
How do I reach those Act2 main quest destinations? I feel stuck, I have no idea how to reach themGive me some hints pls
>>719903562She really did. I even thought I was fighting her at first because of what was happening.
>>719902763seriously? i beat this in two tries but that fucker guarding wall jump took me like 20
>jew nigger bug steals my orbs every time i want to rest>jew bench station in greymoor costs 2.5x the orbs of other bench unlocksfaggots
I think people are mistaking the game’s aggressive nature as a mistake when it’s the whole point.Hollow Knight was walking into the ruins of a broken kingdom while Silksong is the kingdom currently burning down during a siege.Hornet is kidnapped into this hellscape and the only other people climbing are taking refuge from the nightmare, people are constantly in danger and being killed and Hornet has to scrape by for every single scrap to survive as you avoid the increasingly hostile communities of birds and antsWhether you like it or not is a different story but I respect them committing to a completely different atmosphere
I'm too ESL for this bullshit. Just say it opens door o algo
>>719903587At least it also increases the attack speed
>>719903638ur like the only one in a2
>backtrack to far fields>open the song door>inside is a fucking yellow charm i will never be able to useth-thanks
>>719903384ok ty
>>719903638just keep explooooooooring
>>719903576>Hornet got molested by these
>>719903217It’s called world building
>widow's phase 2Is this what these guys felt like?
Okay, beat the game and got all endings. 7/10 feels more like a four year game than a 7 year game but Hornet is still hot and shows off a bunch so that's a free point right there.
The avoid the spike wall platforming behind the far fields stag station really reminds me of ori segments
>>719903684no no, the point is that I paid 20 bucks and I demand that I be able to play the whole game even though I’m physically and mentally retarded
>>719903772One of his attacks is from grimm so yes
just lost fifty trillion rosaries trying to get back to last judgeepic
I'm getting Last Judge into P2. Is my torment almost over?
HOLY FUCK WIDOW IS RAPING METhis bitch has a few Grimm moves, doesn't she?
>>719902636Is it really not in the game? Back when I saw the trailers, I assumed that little spider scurry that Hornet does would be our invincibility dash.
>>719903318It always does 3 charges before changing directions, so he is easy to predictUse the Spear on the adds to burst them before they become a problemTake it easy and slow, none of it's attacks are tricky if you know they are coming, only the adds make the fight chaotic.
>>719903962Yep, she stole his dive into slash move directly
>only have time to play like 15 minutes yesterday>wasting time at work today, browsing /v/ and steam>shitters complaining about the difficultyis it real difficulty or is it just zoomers not knowing how to play vidya
>>719903902well for 20$ even half of the act 1 takes more than some entire games
how the fuck am i meant to get up there?
>just got hit with a three mask damage attackI fucking can't stand team cherry.
>>719903962Widow got a lot easier when I realized "oh yeah I can just climb the wall for that floor spike move."
>>719904024Both.
>>719904024it's hard in a way that hollow knight did not feel like it has. Probably because horny has so many different things she can do.
>>719903587It's deadlier, you can tell the damage increases between enemies.You are thinking of the Reaper, and "focus" doesn't mean healing, it means a unique bar to the left of your health bar.
>many enemies early on already do 2 masks worth of damage per hit>even on contactI feel like that's overdoing it. There's no reason for me to be taking double damage, because the boss' model, hovering in the air, bobbing up and down slightly, came into contact with my hitbox for a brief moment. If you ask me, I'd say contact damage shouldn't be a thing at all. Unless, it's an enemy lunging at you with all their body.
>>719903942>boss is called Widow>"he"
Does Act 1 even have any health upgrades, armor upgrades, or damage upgrades? So far, all I could find is the mask charm that gives me one additional hit point.
I was expecting more elaborate boss design but every encounter so far was either "le platform destroyer boss with sweeping attacks" or annoying niggers spamming summons. When will it get fun and please dont tell me this legendary 7 years in the making game gonna devolve into "nothing personal kind" teleports behind you bullshit
>>719903772My trick to that was using the throwing knives and pollip pouch (grants poison to your tools), along with the flea juice and threadstorm. Essentially, I tried to poison & damagemax her out in the second phase so it would be over as fast as possible.
Question: where can i upgrade my Sneedle?
>>719904038forgot pic
>>719904024Both, game has a brutal start but once you get going the game is completely reasonable and a good challenge
>>719904024I’ve done virtually everything except Pantheon of Hallownest in HK, and I can confidently say that Silksong is harder. 8 hours in and I’m still at act 1.
Holy shit I finally found a fast travel point in Act 2. had to fucking jigaboo sprint through like 5 fucking zones what in the fuck.
>>719902878What about the NPC? He's still there asking if I want help. Will his quest continue?
>>719903772>>719903962It's just phase 1 but faster, you can do it anon.
>>719902940here
>>719904024It is more difficult than the original but I didn't reach anything that made me piss and shit my pants, those flower bud things are finicky but doable.
>>719901878I think I played most of the game so far with beast (first one I got)It's actually pretty fun since it's the one that's further away from the usual moveset with the lifesteal and that weird pogo. Now it feels weird going back to the other pogos.Sucks when you fuck up and fall to 1 HP and have to risk it for the heal. Also there's some parkour sections where there's no enemies to heal despite they giving you thread for that.
>>719904024>only have time to play like 15 minutes yesterdayWhy do you open your moth full of cum then
the city music is so good why did they have to make the game a rapefest it could have been comfykino
>sell my diginity and cheese Morwing>still no nail upgradeI WAS LIED TO. I AM GOING TO CRY
>>719904034Then why’d they give me the whole game?Stupid Australians
>>719904024It's definitely harder than Hollow Knight although I haven't run into any bosses that are Eigong tier yet.
>>719900341Is this a thing HKbabies are unaware of?
Finally, Easy Mode.
>finally understand what to do in Mist>5min later im back at the beginning>i do not in fact understand what to do in Mist
>>719904215You've reached where you get the nail upgrade though. ;^)
>>719904053Yeah a large chunk of my deaths happened before it occurred to me that would work. I liked it fight, I did take like 10 tries but it always felt fair and I eventually figured out a winning strategy.And I don't get the fuss about Moorwing, only died once and had it sussed
I think I'm at the widow.. the way you anons have been talking about it, guys in scared
>>719902794where was the npc? I didn't see him
>>719904262completion status? unfinished.
>>719902876I don't care. I think the game is fine the way it is. If the bosses took slightly less damage to die, it'd would still be fine.
>>719904215I don't think there are any upgrades in that zone. Sure, it connects TO upgrades but from what I remember that place is barren heh as shit.
>>719904119Act 1 has>a Belhart damage upgrade>the deep docks simple key door tool that gives your weapon a fire enchant(also poisons enemies with the polip charm) >the evolved Hunter crest that increases your damage(check the needolin doors)
>>719904215If it makes you feel better Shellwood is oddly easy.Widow ain't tho lmao.
morwing wasn't THAT hard
>>719904262LMAO, thing is i would gladly install it if not for late game equivalent of HK and Radiance And widow only does 1 mask of damage so the game clearly is balanced with something in mind.
>>719903814seriously? how long did it take you?
>>719904262HAHHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA FAILURE OF A MAN
HOW THE FUCK DO I GET UP THERE I AM SO FUCKING OVER THIS FUCKING NIGGER SEWER JUST GIVE ME THE MAP SO I CAN FUCKING LEAVE
>>719904231None of these bosses in either of these games come close to Eigong
Any reason not to use flea brew in every boss?
>>719904369>hunter crestnot using that until pogo mod is released
where to go after widow
>have to kill the cute little floodlight robutts for bestiary completionNot very daijoubu
>>719903674Dude, the greymoor station is worth. I'll tell you this. The area right next to the bench is the farming zone.
I look like this and say exactly >>719903902
>>719904389Hardest boss so far up to this point, Widow wasn't even that bad
Where do you even find the Apostate Key? I feel like I’m going insane
>>719904024it's boomers, zoomers are good at vidya
>>719904450If that's what you want one of your tool slots to be then no. You can always just get more after all.
>>719904410
>>719899976so this is why it took 6 years
>>719904298I'm at her too, posting in these threads while procrastinating going back to getting my ass kicked.
Jesus widow sucks. Some of the bells bounce twice and some don't. Fucking terrible visual design on this fight.
>>719904385>need to beat the bitch everyone's saying is even worse than MorwingI JUST WANTED A BIT MORE DAMAGE FOR THE BIRD TRIALWHY IS THIS HAPPENING
Where the hell do I find Whispered Vaults map? I believe I have done the whole zone, did boss and got the melody but still not map.
>>719904512Boomers are good at games as well. The only generation that's bad is post-NES millennials.
>>719904024Game is harder than HKBut people complaining about the difficulty are turbo shitters with an IQ too low to properly analyze bosses' patterns (they have like 4-5 patterns each lmfao)
>>719899976This game is easily 60 hours what the fuck.
>>719899976nibbas will look at this and say "yea super metroid is better"
>>719904470up, blasted lands, last judge
>>719904389Yeah, once you realise that he shoots after a dash and you're practically invulnerable if you heal in the air, he becomes manageable.
>>719904024It is literally just shitters. I have seen people here and on live streams ragequit the game because of the Fourth Chorus, a boss that isn't actually a boss but the most basic platforming environmental check imaginable. It is basically a tutorial to test if you know how to avoid taking damage in a shifting environment with highly telegraphed slow as fuck attacks and it is filtering THOUSANDS who are sneeding and demanding Team Cherry nerf the entire game to accomodate their personal mental deficiencies.
is there a point to the lower bellhart tunnels or is it supposed to have absolutely nothing but a useless connection to the marrow?
>>719904615Just knock them away if they're overwhelming you
do you get a shrink/roll ability at some point
>>719904450It's not even that good, the sting shard traps deal more damage from safety and the flintslate is a better buff tool.
Is there any kind of boss rush or way to refight bosses?Yes or no is fine.
Does Last Judge have a fucking phase three?
>>719899976Yeah Super Metroid IS better
>>719904407About 25 hours. Games only looks bigger that the first it's mostly empty space.
>>719899348I really enjoy hearing her actually interact with people here.She was so cold to the Ghost early on that I was worried that she'd just be the same way to everyone in her own game.She's very cordial and polite to everyone who gives her the same kindness, and it's nice to see.The Ghost (I like that name better than the Knight or the Vessel) had a lore reason to not speak. No voice to cry suffering, and all. But Hornet does a lot of talking, so it makes sense that they wouldn't keep her silent in her own game.So what's the hope for Hollow Knight 3?I'm hoping we get a prequel where we play as the Hollow Knight. Maybe that'd be a bit too similar to the Ghost though, so it could also be Zote or Quirrel as a couple examples.Hell, even Sly or Iselda would make interesting games.
Widow's Grimm double dash used to be free damage in hk, but now I keep getting parried instead.
WORLDS MOST ANNOYING NIGGER AWARD
>>719904780Nope mode del fuego is it.She does explode and deal 3 hearts when she dies though, almost got my ass.
>>719903039Not come across them yet
No wonder gametime looks like that when i just wasted 2h trying to get through Mist without success
>>719904758perhaps
>>719902846Hornet does not fuck around
>>719904737I did start doing that, and figured out a dash strike chained into a pogo is free trades, plus healing in the air if not enough air to out float the ground bells, but she's still an ADHD retarded boss without flair. Literally just throwing tons of shit at you. I do like the "yesyissyiss" she does when skittering across to bring up the ground spikes.
>>719904887I swear I was already several attacks deep into fire mode and it did a big scream like I was going into another phase and I freaked out and threw.
What do I do after beating Moorwing? Nothing's happening in the creepy bell town
>>719904839>She's very cordial and polite to everyoneShe outright says that as long as they pay her in knowledge or power, she will help people as much as she can. She doesn't give a single FUCK if there isn't a reward for her efforts.
>>719904024Shitters. I'm a 32 year old retard that struggled with Hollow Knight for the most of it. Only had one hard boss so far.
>>719904973She does do a big special attack, but it's literally just the spin for like ten seconds straight.
>>719904024I put in 60 hours of Hollow Knight in month coming up to Silksong. Silksong so far is harder. Platforming is harder because instead of a normal pogo you have a diagonal downwards dash that's very short range so it's easy to fuck it up, Hornet's grace period when gettnig hit is very very short, there's a lot of 2x mask damage early on, and she doesn't have the OP combat magic of the Knight that allowed him to avoid damage or nuke enemies from range. IDK man I beat P5 twice but I am getting my ass kicked in Silksong. That's my impression so far anyway, I'm not even 10h in.
>>719901395>complete downgrade in the other aspects that made Hollow Knight fun in the first place thoughlike?
I think I'm gonna change to reaper for widow, problem is that I can only open one shard slot for it, should I get one more defensive charm or another tool?
>>719904996Just keep moving to the left? You can buy a map if you go back to Bikini Bottom and ring the ring.
>>719904996Anybody? I'm playing the switch version, hope it's not glitched or something.
>>719904996Keep going through shellwood, it'll loop back.
>>719902343>TFW beat the guardian but immediately fucked off to go find a dash at this room.I used to love pogoing...
>>719904839>I'm hoping we get a prequel where we play as the Hollow KnightThere's nothing there anon. The Hollow Knight was dragged out of the Abyss, was kept in the White Palace, and was locked away in the Black Egg. Not a lot to do there.
>>719903772my strat was to stand in the corner where she literally can't hit you, and pogo her face when she charges at you
>>719904996Loop back around enter bell town from another direction.
>>719905163Oh really? I thought the next area was locked behind a later upgrade, because I couldn't progress. I'l keep looking around.
You should be able to unlock the ability to walk around naked anywhere.
I’m fucking awesome at the platforming but this combat is raping my entire extended family
>tfw going back to refight widow and you accidentally dash into the elevator
This shit is carrying my ass so hard, I pity anyone who missed it.
>>719905163I did but there's a big metal door.
Do we already know how many crests there are in this game? And if it really is only those 4 we can get during act 1, is there any way to upgrade their moveset? Hunter so far has been my favorite but the dive could go a bit longer
>>719905357Nevermind, I found the next room.
>>719905198I thought the entrance to the wormway was a sequence break so I went all in exploring that area as soon as I could. I got the Wanderer's Crest before anything other than the silk spear so I was very happy to have my Knight moveset back.
>>719904803Are you sure you didn't rush it and missed a ton of content? That happens in Hollow Knight if you don't go for Radiance
NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOW
>>719905481Not the same guy, but I'm pretty close with a similar time. There really is just a ton of dead air especially post-Act 1.
So can you come back to act 1 areas in act 2?
>>719905336you didn't beat the game
>>719905645yes, but it can take awhile to find a station and wagie town taxes you for any break taken.
>>719905269Surely there will be a mod soon?
i feel bad killing the little pygmy enemiesthey are just helpless lil guys trying to get to the citadel and they couldnt make itit doesnt feel like killing hollows in dark souls
Imagine human Hornet with no other changes to her outfit or animations.
>>719905336where do you obtain it?
>>719904389>did the flea quest before getting to him>locked myself out of the fight and the discussion surrounding himi hate it.
Chat... i found a thing
>>719905336WHY IS SHIT SO FUCKING EXPENSIVEIt's like 400 and some change for 3 fucking items and I haven't even bought the shit in the first store. EVERY BENCH AND BELL COSTS 80 FUCKING BEADS.
>>719905764ant area, look for a merchant past a secret wall
>>719905568WHERE???PLEASE
>>719905753If it makes you feel better, according to post-widow dialogue most of the people that get THREAD'd die anyway.
Wat do?
New thread?
>>719905758would she be black?>>719905807I've found a few of these
>>719905834go up
>>719905764Hunter's March. There is a hidden shop behind a breakable wall located here.
>>719905843ah :,>
Bilewater has to be the most annoying area in the game>bug-infested water that forces you to heal to remove it (can't heal before removing it)>fast-moving flies with rng pathing fuckign everywhere>said flies are placed on the walls that you need to touch, forcing you to aggro them, then either take your time killing them or precision platforming around them>further area contains dart throwing enemies that are near impossible to dodge or attack
Blasted steps is a fucking nightmare
>>719905843Ew no. Beautiful white woman.
>>719905452should be 7 going off my achievement tracker. or 8 if it doesn't include the first in the percentage.
Fucking crows making me look like a goober
Holy shit the clockwork bossfight is full KINO.I was getting really pissed about the 2 damage hazards everywhere but this made up for all of it.Also last judge is a piece of shit who should not be allowed to use the circle flail moev when you are in the corner after dodging her dash.
>>719905953I did it with the diagonal pogo and it didn't seem too bad.It barely has any enemies.
>>719905953u rike pogo and platforming?
>>719905963but she's a black bug
>>719906007Boomerang em
>>719905953have you seen the runback yet? I want someone to attempt to defend that garbage.
Does anyone know how long the game is to 100%? Is it still too early?
>>719905819Act 2You need the clawlineCold...
So let me get this straight, to get the second nail upgrade you need to do five things:>backtrack to the starting area>complete a white flower quest>spend a fortune, then beat a boss>and two other things i haven't discovered yetWhat the actual fuck
>>719906074it's fun, shitter! filtered!i can't defend that shit lol
I have fun while fighting the bosses and I don't have fun while I'm not fighting the bosses :(
>>719906074>>719906238really hope they patch that, it's pretty bad and it's not an optional boss either.
>>719906074I'm ok with runbacks as long as they actually have a challenge in between them and you have to manage reaching the boss without losing resources ala Dark Souls. How's that runback like?
>>719901443Real gamers approach the chapel of the beast, can't get to it because no float skill yet, forget about it completely, and get Reaper first.
>>719899689I don't want to fuck a bug, but confident exhibitionism is one of my biggest fetishes.I'm conflicted.
>>719906310>How's that runback like?it's a tedious waste of time
>>719906310behold
>>719906310Do you consider hoping the enemies pathing doesn't make them stay in your path so you have to wait until they move a challenge?
i HATE the bird enemiesi HATE the scissor faggotsi HATE double mask contact damage
Nobody told me that it's gonna be this way... That runback was ASS, beat the duo fly boss first time though but even that one was cruelHAHA NICE GOING RETARD, TURN BACK AROUND
>>719906310You'll probably love it then. Until you optimize it and then it becomes a chore.
Judge has a phase 3. Great.
>>719906427>fly didn't move upwards at 0:18, forcing you back downLucky bastard
>>719906427and this is a clean path there, sometimes the flies get in the fucking way so you have to stop and fight them. PITA
>>719906168fuck, I havent even found varia suit yet.....
>>719906427>>719906494Kek that does looks tedious. I'll kill the boss first try tho
>>719906503christ I haven't made it past his 2nd phase yet, the fuck does 3rd phase do?
>>719906579>I'll kill the boss first try tholollmao
>>719906427>>719906579>>719906539You don't even need to pogo, you can legit just fly/dash to the wall. Also the bug wont bother you if you go slightly to the left like he did. Super Metroid taught us well.
>>719906074I thought the Moorwing runback was way worse, the Judget just needs you to pogo bounce a bunch of times and if you use the upper route you avoid all enemies except the initial flying one you can run past.
>>719906579you definitely won't, 2 of its attacks come with little warning and all attacks are double damage. Have fun!Literally nobody has done it in one attempt
>>719906617i don't know, he did spin to win while i was in the corner, it spawned like a gazillion extra rings and i couldn't dodge
Trick to beating Last Judge: poison boomerang fucks her shit up
Reaper or Wanderer? Which is better?
>>719905753It's called mercy. Shakra explained that.
>>719906693
>>719903317Such an awful reward for an aids area.
>>719906709>poison huh?
>>719906579I just got there. Good fucking luck
>>719906617>>719906705Ok, it's not really a phase 3 just a super powered spin move that leaves him vulnerable afterwards
>>719902343yeah that's real nice too bad i'm the kind of retard that went through the entire darkness area in hollow knight without knowing there's a fucking latern
>>719906785Complete the flower quest and you get a trinket which adds poison procs to your tools. Tools that have multiple hits like boomerrang proc poison on every hit. That shit is additive and builds up extremely quickly. Deletes certain bosses.
>>719906785do pollip flower quest in shellwood
>>719906427Why are you going right on that platform? Dash back and go up the wall.
>>719907087>>719907115I could only find 3 of them
