How do you like the game so far?Also made a meme, hope you like it
Finally found Phantom. What a shitter. But I've kinda thought that about the last dozen bosses I've run into and some of them weren't so bad once I figured it out. These damage windows are very tiny though.
here's your runback brothat'll be $19.99
How the fuck do I even get up here? Double jump isn't enough.

>>719971809Leap off the small bit of raised ground to the right, clawline, double jump, should make it.It's for a mask shard so deffo worth doing.

The fucking sprint in this game is genuinely worse than PoE 2. It basically only serves to make you take damage because you accidentally held the button too long when dodging.
Something about Act 2 is draining me a bit. Maybe it's because a couple of the areas I feel like I missed a map when I probably should have one. I forget what it was called, the Gap or the Maw or something, I found a bench and Bellbeast location before I found a map.

>>719971642I liked your memeShowed my gf and she also liked itGood job anonI've barely played it, waiting till I have time off but she likes it so far other than the common complaint of really struggling with the phone so far She just beat the second (?) boss and got the silk heartCan't figure out wtf it does, I assumed it'd be constant silk generation but it doesn't seem to be
Hello, any missables or dying characters that I should be aware of?I found that Bird boss that disappears after the gypsies move in, but apparently the boss reappears after the gypsies move on, so it's not an issue.
KINOOOOOOO

The health bloat on these enemies is insane if you don't use tools and even then.

I think I drop the game. It can be hard whatever but running to the boss 5-10 minutes is the line for me.
What are all the areas I have access to before blasted steps
I love Sherma.
Is the bench in hunters mark always going to be a trap? I just found the boss area but I came from the marrows bench. I don't wanna do this long ass walk every time.

I HATE BILEWATER!!!!!!! I HATE POISON SWAMPS!!!!!!!! FUCK YOU MIYAZAKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>719972098this one actually piseed me off, the runback to last judge is child's play compared to this one
>>719972313From thief vendor.
I sure love runbacks there's surely no way there isn't a bunch of enemies in my way that could also potentially knock me into a worm infested water that requires me to heal twice if I want health back but it also sucks away my silk at the same time
>>719971642I have yet to find a tool that feels good to use. Ive found a fire buff for my sword, 2 kinds of throwing knives, and the spike ball. So far it feels like they are not helping me with difficult fights. The way the TWO DAMAGE TWO DAMAGE TWO DAMAGE bosses are designed, I either get fucking bodied in a single combo that no tool can save me from, or I win so dominantly that I didn't need the tools in the first place. This reminds me a lot of Sekiro and how all of the tools were gimmick shit that nobody used unless they were trying to record showboat webms on their NG+++ runs.

>>719972098I should have waited for double jump to do it. Was quite cancer without it and the reward is shit.
you can break the 30 dollar jew merchant door from other side
>>719972347Throwing knives are amazing for boss fights. Because they deal a nail of damage.
>>719972165Anon, please stop huffing your copium. These idiots didn't genuinely consider some of this. HK let you heal without a full vessel. It also needed less mana for a top off.Which, granted, they might be wanting you to play on the edge at 3 hearts. The issue is that since everything does 2 hearts of damage, you go from 3 to 1 and thus you NEVER get optimal healing.Also you cannot regen the silk fast enough if the boss elects to keep summoning.
Nectar from the teat you say?...No wonder Hornet is eager to drink it.
>>719971919Alright, thanks. I tried that a few times I guess my timing was just off.
>>719972098This one wasn't so bad if you use Wanderer Crest and are used to Hollow Knight pogoing. But the climb back up is a meme and I took the right turn the first time with 1hp left.
I can't beat Hunter's March arena. Should I come back? I already finished Greymoor so it feels like it's the best time now.
i refuse to get trolled by some gay australians so this is how i'm playing their game that i pirated.
>>719972476the rewards are not worth the effort. just come back when you have better combat options.
>>719972485Only thing i want is no crafting material requirements, the rest is fair.
is there a way to make the bench in sinner's road operable
what is it?

Fact: Hornet should be able to craft rosary necklaces at benches. You're telling me a 10000 year old spider ninja can't make a fucking necklace whenever she wants? Artificial difficulty.
>>719972660kek prepare your anus for round 2
>>719971783Damn this sucks, the fight itself is fun but the runback is atrocious. Actually the first thing I dislike about the game so far. I really want to keep playing today but at the same time I absolutely loathe this runback.>>719972570For me what worked is bursting down the flying one fast. If you activate the fight and run to the right the flying one spawns there and you can get some hits in before the big boi arrives. Use thread storm and just melt that fucker, the big one is easy solo, sidestep the double swing, go under the leap attack.
Predict the first nerf patch, /v/. I think we're only getting a Last Judge bench.
FREE beads?

>>719972749You can oneshot the mobs and those spikey walls with the needle throw ability. It's a really easy fight once you adjust for that and keep in mind that it will hit you for two if it falls.
>>719972649I've literally never ran out of beads even once in my 20+ hours of playtime, you just suck at exploring/are dying a ton.
>>719971923He should just be turning to the left at 0:11 and running up the wall, not doing that complicated dance at all
>>719972920I'm not feeling so comfy
Don't forget to support the heckin deverinos and buy the game if you like it!
>>719972863lots of 2 damage is getting nerfed
What do you need to upgrade your crests after the first two upgrades?
>>719972749First tried her and 2nd tried Widow. Git gud
>>719972649Are you not storing your beads in strings? I haven't run out of beads since I hit Greymoore.
Wait what????!! You can press dash again while wall clinging to move up the wall. That's going to be so useful
look at that spooder go
>>719973029I'm trans btw not sure if it matters
>>719972863last judge runback and the fucking mob arena fight in high halls. those were the only two genuine pain points in my experience beyond me just being mad cause bad.
The fuck do I do in this area? I know it probably has something to do with the glowing jellyfish thingy, but I've been running around for half an hour now and I still don't know I'm supposed to do.
What would 3D Hollow Knight play like?
>>719972826Like in the good ol' times.
>>719973037The problem isn't losing them, it's gaining them.
>>719971642It's a better hollow knight which is everything I wanted, I'm enjoying it a lot.I am having a way easier time than I did in hollow knight too for some reason, even though the game is obviously harder, I think I unironically got gud. Hope they don't nerf the game too much because of casuals complaining.
>>719973076probably like the game it copied half it's stuff from

>>719972863I definitely think the Last Runback is getting nerfed.I do not understand why Team Cherry did this for a semi-mandatory boss for progress.It is baffling.
anyone know what to do here? playing the harp has some dialogue but nothing else

>>719971783>he doesn't know>>719971642Runbacks suckNew charm system SUPER fucking sucks, you get 3 blues and 3 yellows plus 2 tools. The main problem is memory lockets aren't nearly as cool as a charm slot, if you only use one Crest. The game should have had a crest hot swap like a Style button.Shards, just like that one thing in Sekiro, make it so eventually you might not be able to use tools. Its dumb.
>>719973167bros why are the aussies punishing us NEETfags?
>>719971809where the fuck do you even get double jump?
Serious question: what made the devs think everyone who played Hollow Knight spent the whole time saying "I wish it sucked more!" I personally thought Hollow Knight was in a really good spot, difficulty wise, and all the ways they're forcing cheap deaths out of me in Silksong make the game feel really fucking awkward and malicious.
why did they make an entire game out of the path of pain from the first game?
>>719973262They get bigger when I pull on them.
>>719973307Snowy mountain outside the prison
>13 hits to kill the small ant with the skull helmetI mean I like their movement set but.. really?
Game is 100% centered around speedtrannies and I hate it.Just lost all my rosaries in sinners road. What's the point of swarming enemies that take 10 hits to kill? Best strat is to ignore everything and rush to the next bench.Also you can't heal? This is shit.I remember one chaplenge in god mode where you get no nail upgrades and I was thinking "this is retarded, even if you do everything flawlessly it takes too much time, it's not worth it"Guess what, they decided to do this in silksong WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE NAIL UPGRADES
Tips please
>>719973209Lol
>>719973292>He doesn't know
all that just for a bench, really? did I miss anything in the grinder? is there really nothing there?
>>719973167sovl overload
>>719973292the biggest problem is that most of the crests suck so you just funnel all your memory things into the few that matter and it stops being a reward.wanderer sucks because all the lategame bosses don't give you enough time to hit twice outside of stagger windows so you're just playing with a range handicap, beast is ass because it replaces your heal with dogshit, and witch is bad for the same reason even though the needle moveset is probably the best in the game.
>>719973315Nah I didn't think Hollow Knight was difficult enough.
Am I missing something obvious? Area above bilewater where you get the apostate key and the quest to kill bugs with tools? Is there a way to progress there or do I have to find an alternate route?
sex with Sherma
>>719973356oh I thought I had to get something to do that first, the frost was destroying me, guess I just got to go faster
NO ONE knows how to get here, by the way.
>>719973415Kill the mobs as soon as you can. When they spawn just ignore damaging the big boy and take them out. Dodge his horizontal charges at last minute so he doesn't move into you and try pogo him a couple times when he hits the wall. Get a hit off every time he does the vertical spam and if you can try bait him into killing the mobs. Then just try avoid damage. He does give you a lot of time to heal so it's just about focus and persistence.

How does you even get back to the citadel chef with the couriers rasher without using fast travel?
>>719973584No, I went and used the key at The Slab, my question is how do I progress in that top right area of the map?
>>719973528Those are DLC areas
>>719973546Right of Greymoor crows house.
>>719973546Right of Craw Lake clearly. So Greymoor far right
>>719973415Boomerang is great for taking out the flying ads.Wanderer's crest for dps is best. You get more than enough mana from just hitting him.
>>719971642>make a short post saying I'm not impressed by the game so far>all the sycophants come out, people I've never interacted with ever, and directly insult me while telling me that I'm wrong and their game is perfectHollow Knight Derangement Syndrome is real. Don't criticize the game, guys.
>>719973650I am currently doing this aswell, I think Bellhart-> Book it west through Shellwood then go up the vertical shaft in shellwood. Into Blasted Steps, then upwards to grand gate, then to the chef

How many mandatory bosses are in the game? Trying to decide if beating this game is worth having an aneurysm over.
>>719971783It's not great but it's no O&S
>>719971642>less than 30 minutes into the game and ALREADY having paid benches shoved in my faceHonestly tempted to drop the game based on this alone.
>>719973563Just dash the split second you stun her

The areas where you get a map late are infuriating. Worst part of the game.

>>719973845Hey. I resemble that remark.And yeah, I know, but it's striking just how mad people get when you talk shit about Hollow Knight. It's unreal. Even here on /v/ where no one even likes video games.
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE HUNTERS MARCH VENDOR WHERE WHERE
Why do the devs think that crippling your healing ability is challenging or fun?Maggot-infested waters, enemies that drain your silk... Just, why?
>>719973845No it hasn’t. Game forums are very negative. These games, soulshit, E33 are just sacred cows among losers on the internet
>>719973875I mean without double jump I think either routes aren't feasible. The other route I thought up is probably Greymoor to Sinners to Mist/Failed Organ to Vaults to then into Grand Bellway then run to the Choral Chambers
>>719973954i genuinely do not think team cherry will do anythingbut i could be wrong
>>719971732Okay that wasn't so bad. I just had to get better at getting out of those big nukes.

Once at the lift area, just make your way across the chasm. Then once you've unlocked the door with the key keep going left until eventually you'll be on the other side of a locked door at the very start of the game (right after the tutorial boss)>>719973924Wall jump is in an area called shellwood.

>>719971783git gud casual

>>719974293No, that's the one thing that remains available.It lies in front of his corpse.A good thing to remember for future playthroughs, I suppose.
The last judge kicked my ass a few times, but I was surprised at how little HP she had. Either it's because I just sharpened my nail or because poison subweapons are broken.
>>719974348How it's meant to be played. The fags rushing to beat the boss in 10 hours after waiting 7 years are genuine retards.

Is there any reason for me to do Hunters March early on?
Hey guys I am stuck in greymoor right now and cant progressI cleared out the bird area and got the weaver ability but I have no clue where to go nowThere is nothing anywhere, everything is a dead enedThe ant areaLeft of greymoor,, the clocktower thingWhere the fuck am I supposed to go? I have checked the map multiple times
>>719974348>5 hours later you have to do it again>5 hours later you unlock another power and you have to do it again>10 hours later you finally get a double jump and get to do it again
>>719974403wanderer's crest is way far left of the starting town, you need at least the dash to get to it
>want to play game>going to spend today and Sunday out of homeAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUGGHHHH
Is there anything which is a direct downgrade from Hollow Knight? I think the music and characters are less memorable
>>719974525Take this a learning opportunity and start hugging walls.
>>719974609No.
if there are any game devs in here, please never EVER make flying enemies that read your inputs just to stay just outside of range. It's not quirky, fun, or engaging
>>719974525Is this in that place right of Fourth Chorus?
>>719971642>How do you like the game so far?I don't. They forgot to make an actual fun game behind the meme difficulty. There's also no metroidvania elements.
>>719974605Ah. only 3/5 and I'm too much of a lazy fuck to look for the last 2. Eventually I guess.
is there anything you can miss out on by starting act 2?
>>719974659Seconding this. It's just infuriating.
Rosaries lost to dying: 50Rosaries lost to dogshit devices that don't explain what they do and turn out to be fucking useless but you can't ignore them because some of them open new fucking paths: +700
anyone found the upgraded reaper yet?
is there a warp like hk?
>>719974638I could accept characters. Music absolutely not.
free my man
What the fuck happened to Gilly and Grindle?What even happens if you do their """quests"""?Someone just spoil me.
>permanent fly stink nowreeeeeee
I got the Evolved Hunter's Crest. Does it actually change anything? It seems to be exactly the same
>>719974638Agree on the music, but I'm really liking all the NPC interactions.
>>719974638>>719974741I'm liking the music of Silksong more
>>719974615yeah and I can't wait
>80% positive on steam>it's the chinks again>"Oh well, fair enough given the botched translation, lets just have a gander and see their reviews">10 reviews in they only mention the translation once or twice as part of a larger beat down of the game as a wholeChinks are truly the chosen people
>>719974659God, this is the most fucking autistic shit in this game. I hate it so goddamn much. I think Silksong highlights the flaws of small teams; not enough people to point out "hey isn't this completely retarded??"
SO IS THE GAME GOOD? HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO THE CURRENT METROIDVANIAS ON THE MARKET?
>>719974638No. This is the best kind of sequel, the kind that makes the original look like a proof of concept.The atmosphere and difficulty will turn off some, but frankly I see it as a big improvement. I may become a hollowhead yet.
>>719974638yes, the inclusion of frayed rosary beads and shard bundles. It blows my mind that the devs think people would be using sub weapons enough to justifying putting shards everywhere instead of beads or pickups that people actually care about. I have never gone below max shards once lmfao
>>719971642Do I actually need to have the Reaper Crest equipped to destroy certain wooden barricades and such. I'd rather keep the Hunter moveset. Feels like you just barely have time with the Sprint pulling it together before you switch to Reaper
>>719974605Fuck, I thought it was going to be a new crest for all that trouble.
Press F for the bench pilgrim
Does everyone know clues in cogwork core ?
What triggers the rng crits??I was getting them for a while after beating widow but they seem to be gone again
The fact that bosses will wiggle back and forth to bait out TWO CONTACT DAMAGE whenever you approach them is so incredibly infuriating to me. I haven't been tilted so hard playing games in a long time. No, I don't think that's a good thing, I genuinely think almost every choice they've made in the name of LMAO SO HARD memes is shit design. Silksong's gameplay is awful in comparison to Hollow Knight.
I managed to get this and I remember a place with a mechanical solider, but I absolutely cannot remember where was he. Anyone remembers where a small room with a guy without a heart is?
>>719974659What do you mean bro? Aren't you having as much fun as Team Cherry was when they added enemies that shoot projectiles from off screen and bounce/persist on screen?
>>719974781increases dmg if you dong get hit and land some attacks, like a temporary +1 upgrade while you git gud, basically
HORNET IS USED GOODS
>>719974836It has a high degree of perfection, even when compared to the likes of SOTN, La Mulana and Super Metroid. I still prefer those games, but you'll know if you like it or not within the first hour I'd say.
>>719973998Hidden behind a wall in a unsuspecting room.
>>719973415The dive pogo actually has iframes on hit, so you can effectively phase through the enemy, even when there's no space above to vault over it.
>>719974638Music.
>>719974413There are multiple oils?
>>719974848Only half-agree.A noticeable problem of Silksong compared to Hollow Knight is that HK densely packed its areas with tons of shit you can find.Silksong probably has just as much shit as HK but the problem is because of the town hubs and the "alive world" tons of stuff you'd usually find exploring is now stuck to shopkeepers, quests, and stuff like that.
>>719971642>Also made a meme, hope you like it
>>719974980Yes. He literally tells you there are.
>>719974638Virtually all of Hornet's combat options are a huge nerf from the Knight. If you modded the Knight into Silksong, he'd dab on the entire boss gallery so hard it wouldn't even be funny. If you played Hollow Knight recently enough to still have muscle memory of it, you spend the entire game of Silksong in the cuck corner.
>open cheat engine>give yourself 1k rosaries>buy every upgradeNow the game is fun. You can thank me later.
>Get perved on by some old guy>Undress in front of strangers>Get kidnapped and strippedAnd people wonder why I don't like to play as a female character
>>719974921by who?
>>719974415I get that part but the other scales are still too far out of reach unless i'm missing somethingI put it down to needing double jump maybe
kino new fren
Literally meGET FATTER GET FATTER GET FATTER
I HAVE BEEN STUCK FOR 2 FUCKING HOURSWHERE THE FUCK DO I GO?I CANT GO TO THE LEFT OF GREYMOOR, THAT IS LOCKEDTHERE IS NOTHING TO THE RIGHTEVERY DEAD END I CHECKED IS A DEAD ENDHUNTERS REACH IS ALSO A DEAD END BESIDES A BOSS WHICH I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO FACE YETTHE PILGRIM AREA IN FARFIELDS DIDNT LET ME PROGRESS EITHERWHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?FUCK THIS NIGGER GAME
>>719972098>he doesn’t rape that room with triple knives
>>719972570bro your spike tool?
>>719974836it feels more like a dark souls sl1 run than a true metroidvania. my biggest nitpick is there arent enough upgrades to find. im in act 2 and ive increased my health once. i havent found any reward that made me go "oh shit exploring this side area was totally worth it"
>>719974904I'm retarded I didnt attach a pic aaa
>>719974393It takes longer running back to the judge than doing the actual fight.
>>719974831its still mostly the utter dogshit translationthey like the game but shit makes zero sense
>>719971642>That hermit under bellhart who is an obvious homage to diogenes of sinopeHoly based aussies
>>719975013There are bosses he couldn't even survive without the cloak hover, and bosses he couldn't hit without the hook. You can also equip the wanderer crest and play neutered like that if you want. If you just mean damage or attack speed through charms, the games are just tuned differently.
>>719974659also if you for some reason decide to make this retarded decision, please don't give them 12 hp so that players have to sit there and wait for a good minute just to kill them
>Still haven't unlocked the ability to break heavy rock or jump higher than double jump, both I know I need for 100% map completionI am going to fucking kill myself.
>got rape victim'd into Slabwtf
>>719974863Yeah almost feels like team cherry thought everyone would be using tools instead of your actual main weapon to deal any amount of damage
>>719974618Cheers m8
>>719974393>sharpened nail>poison what??
>finally got the first sword upgradeI'm going to cry it's been so rough until now
Im starting to see why this game took 7 years. it's fucking massive.
>LOST 800 BEADSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>719974904>>719975128Here, I think..?
Cogwork Dancers is a fucking awesome fight man. That's my kind of fight. I actually wanted it to go a phase or 2 even longer honestly. Love methodical fights like this.
>savage beastfly has two attacks>beat him third try>people struggle with this guy somehowWhy are u so bad
how do we refute this?
I just broke the curse in Bellhart and I think I've explored most things I can in the areas I've discovered. Should I head into a new area? Or should I finish off all my sidequests first?
I like playing music to NPCs it's cute.But it kind of annoys me they call it a Needolin when it clearly makes harp sounds.
>>719975075I think you should be able to explore greymoor more
who else found the shovel knight crossover boss?
>>719974863I was overloaded on shards at first but now I've been near 0 for the past 6 areas. I don't use subweapons that much.
HOW MANY FUCKING AREA DOES THIS SHITTY MIST AREA HAVEAND YES I'M FOLLOWING THE FUCKING FIREFLIES
>>719974836It's not really a metroidvania
>>719975256which is hilarious given how anemic they are other than the AOE shit you use on bosses. I love the little limp dick lance that you can throw, it's limper than I am on a tinder date with a fat girl after gooning to 3 hours of kpop choreography
>>719975075>I CANT GO TO THE LEFT OF GREYMOORwhy not? there's a bench in halfway home, the upper thingy is reaper crest (non-bench save point) and the thing below has two entrances to the boss - one through rats, the second unlocked... idk by whatno weird movement abilities needed
>Done every quest>Explored as much as I could>Still no fucking clue how to get anything except the bad default endingMan what the fuck am I missing...
>>719975367The game is about to get real hard, so yes, so wrap shit up and steel yourself.
What's a good act 2 roasry farm
>>719974348
>>719975347you go to the pool with your steam deck
>trivializes all combatheh... nothing personnel
>>719974831>>719975158All of the Asian regions are still more harsh not just mainland China.Here's an example. Hollow Knight's ratings from East Asia:>Taiwan - 97%>Korea - 98%>Japan - 86%Now compare that to Silksong:>Taiwan - 81%>Korea - 77%>Japan - 72%Basically they're all mad at the difficulty. Though China is definitely the one that wants to see Team Cherry to behead the translators they unwittingly hired.
IF YOU USED THIS YOU DID NOT BEAT THE GAME.
>>719975056https://youtu.be/7xsoiUdLcKM?t=216nvmseems that IS the way, you just might need whatever tool they are using to dash to make it up
Niggerfly really mind broke us there at the beginning huh
>>719975013You are so bad at this game it's embarrassing. the knight is OBJECTIVELY slower in every single aspect besides attack speed.
>>719974317didn't they also nerf desolate dive? it had an absurd amount of i-frames on release or something
Why the FUCK does nobody drop money? It's all just fucking shards. I barely even use the tools, and you can't craft them on the go anyway.
>>719974638yes, a lack of fun. normal enemies are too tanky and every other enemy is also a "flyer that throws projectiles" guy built to annoy you. notches were better than crests, since you had full loadout customisation. more impactful early game trinkets in HK, and better stuff to find in general. most areas are kind of meh in atmosphere, the citadel and exhaust organ are cool though.
>>719975308GOD BLESS YOU ANON
>The Mistis this place just random? what am I even supposed to do? just roam mindlessly? am I missing something here?
What the ACTUAL fuck were they thinking with Last Judge You have to stay two miles away from that bitch with your tiny needleMy health upgrade doesn't mean dick, because EVERY attack deals 2 damage so I functionally have three hitsThe runback is awfulShe's fucking ginormous and you can't jump over herI have to stay so far away I can't even see her on screen, which means her attacks cone from off-screenFrankly, I'd rather fight Nightmare king Grimm. A DLC SUPERBOSS.How the hell did anybody beat her already? Is there some upgrade or tool I'm missing out on? There's some more of Hunters March and Far Fields I can explore, but not a ton.
>>719974659Based bird niggas trolling shitters
How many hits is one silkspear equivalent to?
>>719975519>tfw I just left that boss and came to it later when I was stronger and never had any problemlmao I ain't fighting a fucking adds enemy without shit to deal with them
>>719975452Vaguely remember someone showing a 100% completion map and it had an area below deep docks
>>719975519Real shit
>>719975598ask locals for help
>>719975456Fuck. Thanks Anon. I already had a huge struggle session with that huge fucking ant and his flying bitch faggot that only rewards you with rosaries.
>>719975598play your needle when near those fireflies, they will show you what exit to take
YES! YES! MORE AERIAL ENEMIES WITHOUT ANY INSTRUMENT TO DEAL WITH THEM!
>>719975598play the instrument near glowing moths and follow them to the right exit
>>719975601you literally need to get good enough at the pattern to no-hit her, because she has an ass load of health too. also, get ready for her to go out with a bang
>>719975607>bird niggasTHERE ARE EVEN MORE FLIERS IN THE CITADEL
So, I noticed that some enemies which go WHIRR and annihilate your masks with double damage have hitstun. So I thought, why the fuck would NPCs have hitstun? Can you somehow dodge/parry/get away in between the two hits? I once managed to parry a whole flurry of attacks, and I'm pretty sure Hornet can't even swing that fast. Although that was before I got caught by it.
>>719974831Hello chinkhow does it feel having to refer to yourself as chink to pretend "you're one of them" white guys?
>>719975707Nigger you literally have ranged options are you dumb? Use your tools.
>>719975460Use the silk ability immediately on the summoned ad, not the boss. It dies in 1 hit from it.
>>719975512poison cogflies my beloved
>>719975664I have the 100% map but there are so many areas I have no idea how to access, it seems like I need some sort of tool to break heavy walls but not sure if anything like that exists.
Did you guys also get kidnaped and taken to the slab? The fuck was that shit about?Kinda ass the whiteward doesn’t have a boss that I know of
>finally get through the mist>be forced to wade through maggot water>die to a shitty moth with rng pathing
So far Lace has been the most fun boss
>>719975698>>719975709>>719975669I see, thanks bros, I figured it had something to do with the butterflies but I was just following their general direction, is there any hint to figure that out?
>>719975739fuck the tools
>>719975671>bench is 10 seconds away>flying nigga can be killed in about 6 seconds if you unload at him with spells, leaving just big niggaidk man you have skill issue and a tactics issue
>>719975739Which range options do I have? The shitty lance which consumes my meter? Dash+hit for...... 1 hit.......
Can you even remember the last time you played a game that was actually hard?Alatreon and Fatalis in Monster hunter World?Oh and everything in shadows of the erdtree.
>>719975601Most of the bosses in this game are just you bashing your head against them until you win through sheer luck.This game is not for people like us. They're for masochists who loved doing pantheon 5 over and over again.
>>719975067How fat?
>>719975774i guess the devs played zero mission and thought "yeah let's steal that lol"
>>719975830What is it with people conflating difficulty with fun?
>>719975774Naked hornet
WHERE THE F U C K IS THE SHAMAN CREST
>>719975601You can jump over her, you will be to do so many times in the fightI never once saw her attack from off screen, she always hops up to youYou can upgrade the needle prior to this, for me this was the missing link to make it not frustrating. Don't charge attack so you can regain silk to heal in the many long openings she gives you.
>spent 1 hour to beat unraveled>get nothing
>>719975830>>719975882Erdtree was fucking meme difficulty.Look. I can bitch about Silksong all I want but NOT FUCKING ONCE did I fight a boss in this game so far that has been as bad as any of the flanderized shit Fromsoft made in that game.
>>719975830yeah i can, and it is a much better game.
>>719975524Moving slower hardly matters when he can pump out literally 10x the dps through pogos and shrieks. Knight gets an iframe dodge for free. Playing Silksong right after P5 runs in HK is like trying to fight after getting both your legs chopped off.
>>719975417What is it then?
>>719971642I think Ive been filtered. Between the judge, sinners road and the addslop beast boss Im not having fun anymore. Everyone's bitching about the birds but that was the last time I actually enjoyed the game in hours.
>>719975737Vai mas é po caralho que te foda e vai chupar a pila dos gajos da Team Cherry visto que não consegues mentalizar-te que o hoje ta horrivelmente desenvolvido.E não, não sou brazuca. So para quando meteres isto por um tradutor porque és um retardado que só sabe falar inglês seu puta.
>>719975473Holy autism.
>>719975906>I never once saw her attack from off screen, she always hops up to youbro thats just false cuz she will throw her bell at you off screen
>>719975958it's an ARPG
>>719975830I beat Rockman V on my famicom. Yes, the one with the 8 level Wily Castle. This game is WAY, WAY harder. Not even a contest.
Are there numbers for all the needle/tool damage?
fucking birds are so annoying to kill I can't get over that enemy gauntlet fight
>>719975958A regular 2D platformer/action game It honestly has too little exploration to be a metroidvaniaIt's short as fuck, too.
Does that guy who captures Hornet and steals all her shit show up again? I defeated him before I knew his deal and the hunter's journal implies you can fight him multiple times.I wanna see nekkid Hornet
>>719975923True. You have all the options available to you to kill anything on your first try.
These boss fights kinda fucking suck ass?
>>719975978Começa a jogar bem retardado
>>719975946You are essentially crying you don't have easy mode invencibility garbage that trivializes the game, we get it, you don't want to learn the bosses, you just want to spend mana in huge damage attacks that stagger the boss then you can get more usages of the overpowered boring HK skills.
>>719975912Oshiete, oshiete yo...
>50,000 parkour attempts just to get to raging conchfly>die immediatelyholy shit and I thought the judge runback was bad. i'm pretty sure I shan't be doing this ever.
i just died to the bilewater bossplease please please please please fucking tell me i don't have to do that whole mob gauntlet againwhat the actual fucking nigger dick were they thinking
>>719976016Try V on the gameboy. That one's a little bullshit, but III on the gameboy's the real fucker.
>>719976019best way to deal with them and most of these shitty enemy rush rooms i've found is the tool from the forge daughter. the aoe spike trap. it shreds them
>>719976113How? The run back isn't so bad and the boss isn't difficult, killed it second try.
How the FUCK are you supposed to beat the two moss mothers?
>>719974228I sprinted into the wall by him and he ran away lmao, didn't check if he comes back. Thank god I bought everything.
Top 3 fuggable bugs in Silksong, go
>>719975830Nine Sols, final boss. Nothing will ever compare.
>>719976083Being railroaded is fun! I hate having options and choices.
>>719976134Took me 3 hours of my 22 hours of playtime to kill it. 90% of that was the run back.
Are there any fun movement upgrades like the crystal heart in HK?
Place your bets right now.Will Team Cherry make the game easier?
>>719976209It's the easiest boss in the game x2. They could have four moss mothers and I wouldn't sweat it.
>>719974638the atmosphere. Hollow knight felt lonely. This feels like a curated hero's journey.
What the fuck is this shit?
>>719971783just got through thisthe shortcuts are a lot easier and makes it go fastalso, Last Judge is probably the best boss so farabsolute kill or be killed fight that you can buzzsaw through in a minute once you know it
>>719976263You have plenty of options and choices, you just don't have one answer that is better and easier than all others. Sorry you hate having to think instead of just going invincible.
>>719974638Maps aren't as dense as hollow knight so far and I'm like halfway through the game. I don't know if it improves later though
>>719976204Am I missing a bench here?
>>719976283there is just too much going on
Does ANYONE use the Beast Crest? I mean, for combat it's fine, you can use whatever you want. But I feel that the moment you encounter one of those pogo platforming sequences - you might as well turn around and go back to the nearest bench to swap to literally any other crest.
>runback>contact damage
Wow, I think I might hate this more than the 100+ attempts it took me to beat one of the late-game bosses.
>>719975923Strange, I have the exact opposite opinion.
do I need any specific thing for the ice area? cause it doesn't seem doable without some extra cold protection
>>719976386there is no cold protection
>>719975923>NOT FUCKING ONCEevery boss with minions is automatically shit tier, and silksong is full of them
Silksong feels like the original team died and was replaced early into development
>>719976372needolin, nigga
Have you guys found that fight against those brother dude in deep docks?
>all the ebin amulets go into the blue slot>0 useful yellows
>>719976359You are missing a shortcut from blasted steps to sans of karak. I id run back from where you are using the south way and climbing up, but might be easier to simply climb up from blasted steps.
>>719976386let me guess the apostate key is in bumfuck nowhere half a mile to kansas, china
>>719976386No, you just need to go faster. There's nothing needed for that area besides movement options you are obligatory to have at that point.
Has anyone reached the ending with the knight yet? The only thing I can find about it is the datamined cutscene.
>>719976382Aside from Memefly, Silksong is filled to the brim with HONEST bosses.Only other egregious parts is Last Judge exploding last minute and Splinter falling on you. All of the later Act 2 bosses don't cuck me out of fun like Erdtree did.
>>719971642I just can't believe they spent 6+ years on this shit. Yeah yeah i know it's like 3 jewish trannies in a cave, but seriously what the actual fuck have they been doing all this time... Oh i know, they've been rubbing their tiny dicks against a plaster wall while wipping their ass with all the money they madeWhat the fuck manAnd the kicker? They just made BANK again
>>719976270what the fuck is the point of this? i'm genuinely considering dropping the game now if this is what they expect of youit's just not fun to do the cancer ass platforming and kill the same retarded nigger mobs that run away from you and spam projectiles for 5 minutes every time you die to the boss
LMAOOOOOOOOOOBeast + flea drink makes the game so much easier it's like playing a different game.It's so easy to beat bosses with this combo you just spam lifesteal and attacks
>>719976476your barbed bracelet, xister?
where do you even get the double jump? I'm 25 hours in and still no double jump
>>719976457>make one mistake>have to slowly traverse 8+ rooms again, being forced to spend five seconds per room to activate the fireflies while also killing every ghost you accidentally triggerFUN AND ENGAGING GAME DESIGN
>>719976482Oh, thank god
>got to sinner's road through crowtown>some big bug is now my slave>seemingly nowhere else to gobros?
>>719976359Destroying the stalactite opens up a shortcut into Blasted Steps, so you can run back from the station there
>Go back explooooooring with my new platforming skill>Realize I could have gotten up there with just pogo jumpingI went through the game so much I didnt have this upgrade at allWell it better be something shit
Any boss that summons adds is a shit boss
>>719976531see >>719973430
>>719976547based brainlet
I like how the map doesn't feel entire rooms as soon as you enter, you can actually know if you haven't explored a bit
>>719976343Are you retarded, you have next to no build options. Everyone's bitching that theirs zero rewards for anything. This is not even an opinion, there is mathematicaly 1/10th the pins. Only item worth anything the entire game is the compas.I bet you loved all the character options in sekiro too, lol!
LET ME SAVE THE FUCKING NPCSTHEY ARE MARCHING TO THEIR DEATHS
>>719976519>anything in this game>honest
>>719976583hey, that's game of the year you're talking about. show some respect.
>>719975923Always fun to see this kind of opinion when I did soul level 1 of Sote as my first go to at it and had fun.
>>719976569To the left of the prison :))))
>>719976627>>719976531I did my last hour of run backs with this bench, but still super ass.
>>719976623
>>719971642the clawline is so much fun god damn why does it take so long to get, if any devs read this, dont lock the most fun movement out of your game after 10h of gameplay
>>719975452missing 2 zones lil bro
>>719973528So how do you break the wall that leads there? Its cracked but bombs, charged attack etc nothing works.
>>719971783The game itself is fun, but the runback to the boss room is a serious problem, even recent Souls games/clones understood that it wasn't fun and placed checkpoints nearby the boss room.
>>719976662Sekiro, the game that is basically known for the players crying about the difficulty when the arm abilities and skills were actually very useful and obejctively made any boss way easier? Yep, that sure is a good example. You are just as braindead as the people who cried about Sekiro, very true!
>>719973315Honestly, what did you expect? You realize if the game was easy it would be absolutely hated. Even high school redditors would turn on it without the artificial gatekeeping that makes sure only "real" fans get to the final boss.
>>719976627i HAVE that benchit's STILL fucking aidsthe mob gauntlets are the absolute worst part of this game and having to do one AND cancer platforming EVERY SINGLE ATTEMPT is just autistic padding
>>719976773Like? And you'd better tell me how to get there or else you're a memer.
>>719976519The DLC wasn't fun, I just didnt find it that difficult compared to ER. This is filtering me hard >>719975975
DOGSHIT GAME
>>719975601Well, so far I've found this boss is easier if you keep her close. The long-ramged attacks are the real bullshit.
>>719975487Isn't it just a worse pogo?
zzz
>>719976819Sekiro like all souls games has clunky controls and movement.
>>719976774Haven't gotten there yet but has anyone tried beast crest or it's pogo? I have this sneakin suspicion that all the crests have another use outside of the moveset.
>>719975519the rematch is even worse, if you run out of tool ammo, just stop and farm some more shard before you tackle the boss, you'll thank me later
Is it just me or the combat feels awful? So far I have Reaper and Wanderer Crest in addition to the starter crest.In Hunter mode the diagonal downwards attack feels awful.in Wanderer mode the range is a complete joke, can you upgrade it somehow?Reaper feels like the best one, good range, downwards attack doesn't suck, but you are so damn slow, also it gives FREE soul after focusing for some reason, kinda OP?
Shut the fuck up you Elden Ring niggers everyone knows that souls games have variable difficulty determined by your fucking buildm it is NOT a benchmark for anything, how does it take you this long to figure out basic shit like that?
there's a spool fragment hidden under the elevator in whiteward
>mfw I left the citadel to see if all my favorite npcs are still alive in act 2>mfw I can't get back inuhh... softlock much?
>>719976819okay anon, please show me your video where you beat Sword Saint without parries and only using Prosthetic Tools
how do i fight the phantomi did the mist bullshit already
Ohhh, so that's where the foreshadowing was.
>>719976068Jogo melhor que tu seu fdp de merda. Jogo ta mal calibrado e nada que tu digas vai mudar isso.Ve la mas é se arranjas juizo em ves de tares a defender merda estupida como esta.
This item makes retards seethe.
Vast Wild, Gouging Rock, Scarred Shell, Break Through? I played the needolin at the far fields where there's a monster trying to bust through. I'm getting filtered by the hint.
so has anyone worked out how to get to the abyss or verdania yet?
>>719976941platform up the grand gateor if that's blocked somehow then go fight phantom for the other way in
>>719973315it's the fromsoft problem>we want the game to still be challenging to our veteran players, so we had to raise the overall difficulty
THE PHANTOM
Is there a worse runback than the bilehaven frog boss?
>>719976941Go back in the same way you got out.
>>719976907I have 2 nail upgrades and like 5 crests. +2 masks or so and like 4 silk upgrades. I still feel weak as shit.
>>719976284This. I'm fine with the change overall. But in HK it was a treat to find a living NPC actually willing to talk. In SS there's NPCs all over the place, I can't remember most of their names and there's already a weird NPC I needed to return to and completely forgot where they were.The music situation is weird. SS has overall better music. But HK had some absolute all-timer tracks. Green path, city of tears, etc. I haven't heard a single track in SS yet that really blew me away.The environments are also slightly worse IMO. The level design is much better, but of the first 7-8 zones none of them are that cool. In HK they were very very distinct. Grey rock place. Green jungle. Fog Canyon. Purple crystal place. Dark shithole nest. Darker void place. White palace. City of Tears.None of the zones in SS have really gripped me yet. Some have been pretty solid, like Hunters or Docks. Greymoor is decent. I'm still waiting to walk into a zone and go 'holy shit woah'
>>719977051No. That's the worst one. Get excited for the grand reward.
>>719976941how do you get to the little cul de sack at the bottom of underworks, the area under the bench near grand gate
>>719976819Exactly, you are uneducated trash. You hate choices becuase you hate thinking retard. What everyone else considers boring and repetitive you call fun. Im sorry I'd rather play a strategy game than a rythem game like a 12 yrold girl. DS2 for life you dumb college rejected faggot!
>>719973991The consequence of making a game one's identity
How do I improve my combat? I can do only 2 things - pogo on an enemy or 1 hit and run. There is no flow.
>see everyone complaining about bilewater boss>kill him on my second try just magdumping all my tools into him and not even really dodginggetting these tool upgrades sure was worth it
So what are the requirements for the true end?
>>719976947>UHHH if you use one consumable of the game YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED to use the normal defensive mechanism of the gamelol
>>719977071>>719977017the platforms are too high up and I can't grapple anywhereat least I can get the double jump... right?
>No one knows how to get in the fucking diving bell or how to even get other endingsWhat the fuck
>>719973894gives an one use item that allows you to retrieve your cocoon
media illiterates will never find this amazing place and its really sad
>>719976668I wish I had bet on DS2 before this released. I think its safe to say DS2/E33 have GOTY in the bag.
I just got the MECH soulI'm going to use it because I love the drill animation
>one of the most hyped indie games of all time>devs went all out making it NES cancer difficulty>millions of people, and even casuals FOMOing, are going to get hit by the full brunt of their autismThis is genuinely fucking hilarious.And the funniest part is that no one had any warning because they refused to give journos review copies.I have to respect the aussies.
>>719977146nooooooooo you didn't beat the gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaameeee they are uselessssssssss
Fuck this roomI did most bosses up to that point on the first try but I get stuck in a filler wave of enemies with too much health
>>719976996Where the hell is that? I have 13 tools, 13 blue charms and 11 yellow charms and don't have that one.
>>719977249get bent faggot
>>719977146I don't like using tools just like I don't like using magic in Hollow Knight. It's just me and my needle, I don't even bother with the damage skills either.
>>719977196it's probably something autistic like ringing the bells in stations a certain amount of times like the cookbooks tell you
>>719975460Kill the adds asap
>>719976819least fun fromsoft game to replay
I think the game should have that thing from other Metroidvanias where the map gets highlighted or has a 100% completion shown once you grabbed every item/uncovered every secret room in the area, otherwise you'll have to rely from outside sources like a guide just to check if you didn't miss anything important from that area which isn't very fun.
How do I get up here? Come back later?
>>719977082>The level design is much better, but of the first 7-8 zones none of them are that cool.>None of the zones in SS have really gripped me yetexactly my point, and I feel the same way. Hollow knight was more of a bitch and confusing at the beginning but it felt like exploring a dead civilization. The game grabbed me immediately and didn't let go for 5 hours. Silksong is technically a very good platformer. But it lost the magic somewhere.
>>719977160>admits you have to only ever play defensively and your "build choices" don't actually matterI accept your concession.
>>719977365Need double jump
FUCK YOU BITCH ASS NIGGA
>>719973894>>719977247Also gives you a delivery quest from the couriers that expands his nest after completionI assume it increase how many of the silkbugs can spawn
I hate the rosary system so fucking much
WHERE IS THE APOSTATE KEY HNNNNNNIGGER
Tacts are my favorite tool, holy shit I just dump them on the floor and the boss just runs on them
controller or m&kb?
Hornet is a femcel.. Damn..
>>719977431Congrats, anon. You beat the third filter.
>>719977447not in the prison
In Hollow Knight, you could get Mark of Pride, Long Nail, Quivk Slash, Shaman Stone, Fragile Strenght etc, all items that made you instantly stronger. In SIlksong, you only get shitty, hypersituational charms that don't help you at all.>oh, great, another red tool I'll never useFuck this game
>>719977082>>719977369Problem is Silksong hinges on you caring more about Hornet than Pharloom. In Hollow Knight it's just you, the little guy, and a gigantic dead kingdom. And the best part is that the ending ties extremely well to his character.I think no place in Silksong has matched City of Tears but a lot of its other places are just as good if not better than the areas in Hollow Knight.Dirtmouth MOGS all the towns though for sure.
>>719977438Bro just wait 6 bazingas for your slave in bilewater to make you the retrieval item.
>>719977447i just got it. it's past the bilewater vore boss good luck faggot lol
>>719975256at a certain point in the mid-late game (I don't know how much more game there is left after finding the 3 melodies) you learn that you need to spam the tools. Some arena fights are just unbearable if you just use the needle.
>>719977447Bilewater
>>719977469KB always
>>719976065>Phantom>suck assWhy? It's my favorite fight in the game.
>>719974605When you say the second oil, you mean that there's a first one beyond the first free upgrade?
>>719975601Update, I beat her!Okay that boss is actually pretty fucking sweet. Beat it with just one health left, too.The only objectivly shit part is the runback, but the fight is nice and short.
>>719977483UHHHHHHHH IS HORNET CONFIRMED USED GOODS?????????
>>719977504>>719977521>>719977538AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Sinners road is 100% the worst area in the game by a country mile
>>719977586Anon? he literally tells you to go bring him pale oil from the citadelIT'S A FUCKING QUEST, even. Are you blind? Retarded?
>>719977617I missed that and already beat last judge, should I go back?
>>719975601Oh yeah, and I used Reaper crest. You can't spam attack or dive anyway, so the extra damage and silk really helped out.I think Moorwing was still the worst boss.
Where do I go after beating widow? And can I get second weapon upgrade before hitting act 2?
>>719977617No, Bilewater is even worse.
>>719976874it's a pogo that hits 4 times
>>719977617>respawning randomly placed flying enemies with wonky pathing and unreliable lunge attacks that explode on death>silk stealing waterbilewater. it's bilewater.
>>719976306oh that's what I need to give to that guy, where did you find it?
>read thread "wooooooooow [area] is fucking bullshit this is worse than path of pain, what were they thinking????">you just need to do 3 pogos in a row, area is at worst a little tricky and I die once or twice exploring them>this is the 3rd area like this/v/ really sucks at games nowadays huh
>everyone is bitching and struggling about everything>meanwhile I'm just cruising with my poison build beating most shit easilyTools are the biggest brainlet filter in this entire game
Is there anything to the dice guy beyond playing dice with him?
>>719977797t. mimic tear user
>>719977794>nowadays
>>719977082blasted steps was kinda of a "holy shit this is wild" moment for me. i think the citadel is supposed to be like that too but it kinda flops because they build it up all game.
>>719977793I'll tell you if you tell me who you need to give it to.
Are the worms in the Wormways killable? Someone tell me before I waste a bunch of time trying to find out.
Do the drills from the Architect moveset hit twice or am I going crazy
Anything that's confirmed misable? Whats required for secret final boss?
>>719977767this highlights a potential big problem with small dev teamsbecause sometimes, they might have an idea like "what if we randomly placed flying enemies which can read your inputs and made players fight them while in a cramped corridor that also has a lot of platforming"and then they won't have anyone to respond with "are you sure that's a good idea and not something that is fucking retarded?"
>>719977860>>719977797same lmaoexcept i'm using fleas brew
>>719977763Yeah but the trap hits like 6 times without even aiming, caltrops also hit a bunch of times and the boomerang can hit a ton of times if you get the range just right.
>>719977483>none could match my lifespanBecause you ATE their FCUKING HEADS
>>719977794This place is a completely lost cause. I knew this was the case when you see more and more nintendo fanboys who are legitimately entertained by games with difficulty for actual children. And don't even get me started on gacha games.
>>719977897Yes but they aren't really worth killing. Charge is required to kill or some op tool
>>719975308thanks, but.... he just leaves?
OwO whats this
>buy this>play music>fucking words appear on the screen, probably unique for each townThis is going to be some True End shit right
>>719977921>and then they won't have anyone to respond with "are you sure that's a good idea and not something that is fucking retarded?"Your problem lies in that you assume this isn't intended behaviour.The game is clearly designed for people who are very good at video games
>>719977794Yeah Mount Fray or whatever people were building up to be really fucking hard or some shit and it was actually pretty simple so I was kind of confused
>get cagie'd, stripped and imprisoned>kicking the frumpy flying niggas does fuck all damage>"hmm makes sense that you're weaker without your weapon">get back your weapon>frumpy looking flying niggas still take 8 hits??????
>>719977483>femcel>clearly says that she had matesShe's not a virgin.
>>719977767bilewater is so much worse than every other fucking area in this game it's unreali hope there's not worse to come because jesus fucking christ
>>719977510This game would be so much better with just a teeny bit more range.Where is the Longneedle? I know it's fucking in here.Also locking a needle upgrade (the last one?) behind the white flower delivery quest is fucking vile.
>>719977794Me when I lie on the internet for epic gaymer cred.
I just obtained the grapple but I don't know how to get out of this Underworks area, all exits I've found are blocked. Where do I go?
thoughts on this fella?
>>719975824The throwing knives you imbecile.
HOW DO YOU FUCKING DO THE TRUE END I'M GOING INSANEHOW HAS NO ONE IN THE INTERNET POSTED THE GUIDE YET
Where do I find the hot springs?
>>719977989Mate your willingness to eat shit with no complaints doesn't make you good at bideo games.
>>719977697You need to go through there anyway but I think its an alternate route to the citadel by using wall climb around the halfway house If you wanna complete the quest to get needle upgrade oil from the chef in the citadel then you need to go there
Do you guys prefer the hunter or the reaper crest? I find reaper easier to use because of HK muscle memory, but I wonder if perhaps I should be sticking to the hunter crest to get better at the diagonal pogo as I assume later content will be designed around it more than the vertical pogo.
>>719977965I found one of them in the wormways too, they are the lifeblood plants from that one HK update
Is the bilewater found before the Mist area?
>people hype up last judge like some be all end all niggerman>3 tries thanks to using tools with venom applied to itdsp_wow.png
>>719978140You can't be good at everything in life, anon.Better to accept that sooner than later.
HOYHOYHOOOOYHOOOYAHOYHOY
Does beating the cage guy at the top of Deep Docks lock you out of getting the kidnapped sequence?
>>719977909I didn't find the hunter's march area merchant at first so I went when I had already progressed a bunch the 2nd act.He was dead in the floor and I got the fractured skull charm. But now I have no idea of where I'm supposed to get the boomerang. It's either missable or some super late game merchant will be selling it, I have no idea yet and haven't found anyone talking about it lol.
>>719978202are you bragging about your ability to eat shit?
>>719978201>people hype up malenia>equip mimic tear and beat her easilyand people say she was hard!
>>719978242no, you have a second cage guy in bilewater that you can lose to
>>719978242Yes.
>>719978201The Last Judge is really fun because it's just an all out slapfest with him. The fight ends so damn quick.
>>719978201Just read the thread, there are unironic retards who think tools are useless, these are the people complaining.
How do you guys get to uh the place to get to phantom from greymoor?
>>719977870I'm not 100% sure, but there is an nps who won't come out of the house, on red pin, unless I bring a "shell with something foul inside" or something
>>719976306I would like to know too... Some npc said something about it, but that was it.
what's the area above bilewater with no map? i went all around the limited space they give you and i didn't see any other paths, am i missing something? i REALLY don't want to go all the way down bilewater and then have to come back up later.
oh my god, it's finally happening
were people joking with last judge? shit was easier than widow
>>719978260You're the one eating shit, anon. I'm having fun.
>>719978306Nah, not him, that's a different quest.
>>719978201The fight itself isn't bad it's just the run back if you die is a giant pain in the ass.
is the game short?
>>719978345having fun eating shit? weird hobby
>>719978306That's for the witch crest, have nothing to do with this.
HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO SAY THISTOOLS ARE THE CHARMSCHARMS ARE THE TOOLSTOOLS = CHARMS = TOOLS= CHARMS = TOOLSDO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS?IF YOU DONT USE YOUR FUCKING RED TOOLS THEN YOURE NOT USING A CHARMDID YOU GO CHARMLESS IN HOLLOW KNIGHT?WHY ARE YOU GOING CHARMLESS IN SILKSONG?FUCK THE TOOL TRIVIALIZE SO MUCH SHIT IN ACT 1 AND ACT 2
>>719978251>But now I have no idea of where I'm supposed to get the boomerang.Explore the place where he was thoroughly, someone said they found it there.
>>719978306that's for the witch crest, not the seeker soul. unless it's both.
>>719978271>how dare this asshole player use the tools provided to him, he must suffer like i did because i couldn't press RB+up/down!like cry some more or whatever nigga, i had my fair share of difficulties but bosses just ain't that hard when you're actually using your head
How do you get this flea by the organ? It's too high up.
>>719978192Simultaneously
What is consensus on map mechanics? Is that fun? Or super annoying?
>>719977794You're fooling no one
>>719978412It's very funny seeing you boast about having beaten the game on easy mode.
>>719978403but i went nail only in hollow knight.....................
Any idea where this is? I feel like this is way too broad..Is there a list of where each thing is
>>719978461You can drive a car in first gear only, doesn't make you a better driver.
>>719978427do you have double jump yet? if not, go get double jump.
>>719978353>>719978395>>719978406well rip for the "ghost in a shell" itemthanks for the witch quest tips tho
The scuttle charm is unironically great
>>719977965You must stick your needle (ovipositor) in it.
Honestly on the map the only things I have no clue about still are the Whiteward device, and like one other spot that also needs an ornate key.
>>719978496the bar
>>719978403but my charms didn't require to farm mobs every 10 attempts on a boss
>>719978427Secret area inside one of the side rooms leads to an exit above the entrance.>>719978403Charms didn't use up (in)finite resources though.
there's clearly a zone above me here but how the FUCK do I get up?
>>719978496halfway houseenjoy the ant rape
That is the most jewish thing i have ever seen
>>719976065pic not related?
>>719978496One in Sinner RestOne from delivery in the BellhartOne from Halfway Inn in GreymoorMoss shit is from the early game cauldron green bitchOne from Sands of Karak area
Do we seriously have no idea how to get the true end?What is going on? I don't think it took this long to find the Radiance.
Can you post some high skill gameplay? I want to know what the gameplay is supposed to look like.
Just booted up hollow knight for a bit to make sure and yep half the bosses in silksong is harder than pure vessel.
>>719978576underworks is wagie-only area, so makes senseBACK IN THE CAGE WITH YOU, YOUR MANDATED 15 SECONDS OF BENCH TIME ARE OVER
Anyone got any rosary farming spots? Trying to buy out all the stores
>read a shit ton of spoilers shitposting in threads>act smug when you get into a fight you expectedSinner's road was easy for me too before I realized that if I didn't know how to fix the bench I'd be getting fucked in the ass every five seconds.
>>719978526I forgot to try that thing on bug enemies, what if I can impregnate them
For anyone wondering, if the hunter's march vendor dies then you can find his boomerang in the room above the one he's in.
>>719977960Lol literally just a few minutes after asking I found Weavenest Karn and got an ability that lets me 1-hit the fuckers.
>>719978613people are playing their needolin everywhere lmao
>>719978672there's an npc a bit above that area that will give you a tool to be able to collect it for him. it's just a small quest for a blue charm
>>719978613I had imagined it would use this guy in some way
>>719978576all the dead bugs in there tend to have a tube near them that dispenses beads for workyou can run the treadmill for money too lol
>can twang your little harp instead of calling for the bell beast at the station>all NPCs sing along with you>even the crust bell hermit >even the fucking robotneat
Is there any pogo height difference between reaper crest and hunter crest?I feel I get more airtime on hunter when I'm doing shelllwood's flower sections but I might be imagining things.
>>719978635I straight up installed a mod that gives me rosaries when I press a key. It's in nexusmods, just filter by most downloaded.Some retards will insult me for this, but I'd rather just install a mod than save and quitting and killing the same enemies for an hour
>>719977510silk issue
>>719978559Climb nigga climb right above ya, there will be a breakable wall that will lead to this game’s blightown
>>719978546Thanks
>>719978726ye, i went and did that quest asap and never tried to attack an enemy with the quest item, curious if it does anything to them
>free the green guy in the cage in sinners roady/n? its my only key
>>719978886So far he doesnothing but some dialogue and hugs a clock pussyFeels bad man
>>719978331it's just that the run back is obnoxious as hell
>>719978865yeah I got to the part with the big bug on the right side but all I found in that area was some locked cages
>>719978251I more wondering about NPC stuff for true ending.Doubt they would do it considering HK didnt but you never know
can someone tell me what area the upgrade that lets you interact with the rings is? im assuming its a grappling hook or something
>>719978805The amount of interactions is insane.
I don't understand what am I supposed to do with the Needolin
where the fuck is the crustnut
WTF? Is there any way to prevent this?
>>719978613There's a fuckton of things that could be related to it but you can't really pinpoint anything because there's so much lore tied to the singing and it takes forever for the dialogue to roll through. There's a sign with notes in mosshome that you can play needolin near for a poem but it's another cryptic herring that could just be lore for all we know.
>Enemy parries>I hit>I parry>Enemy diesNow we're Silksonging
>>719978805I'm stuck in this area. How do I get out?
>>719978805>>719978984Enemies can be played to too
where do I go after I found the architect? I went everywhere, and just dead end after a dead end. the way back is closed.
>>719978979underworks after you do a side quest in the citadel for the missing merchantshe sells the key that allows you to access the elevator there
>>719978986it opens needloin doors. Did you not pay any attention when you got it?
>>719978979Underworks if I'm not mistaken
Reminder to play the needolin near all bugs https://youtu.be/n_UWAFWs-l0?si=n_sguVpcon_5WaGY
almost 10 years to play a game thats worse than Nine Sols
>>7199789847 years allowed devs to fulfil that developer itch of "what if this thing did this useless, yet cool thing?"
>>719979060I thought it would help in the combat as well... damn
>>719979053>she sells the key???I found that key hidden in cogworks
Wait I have to take the rasher from bellhart all the way to the fucking citadel on a timer? Are they fucking joking?
Why is she called hornet when she's a spider and not a bee?
>>719979003Nope also when the bury the body play the needolin near them
>>719978986>open spider doors>get NPC interactions>get location lore dumps>Solve the firefly puzzle in Mist for quick access to Citadel/Act 2
>>719979065funny enough thats the area im in right now. i guess i wouldve had it way earlier if i didnt enter the citadel through phantom first
>>719979085How do I play the needolin
>>719979003I think it always happens after you do the Weaver lair in Moss Grotto. Just so you know Bone Bottom has no more use anymore
>finally get an extra mask after 7 hours of playtime>it's practically worthless since every boss does 2 damage per hitI honestly feel like I've barely gotten stronger since starting the game.
>>719979105For all my bitching about Silksong I do agree there's a lot of surprisingly sovlful interactions in the game that didnt need to be in it
>>719979145well she sold me the white key for the "surgical" elevator for 250 anal beads so i dunno
WTF WHO KILLED HIM?
>>719978986>>719979060>>719979197It also temporarily stuns silk-controlled enemies (applies to most "humanoid"/sentient bugs)
>>719979214You find it later on in the game, don’t worry about it until later on
how the FUCK do i kill the stupid frog boss? i can barely survive getting there in the first place even after getting the bench and i literally cannot get close to him. do i really have to buy upgrades and more tools and just spam the fuck outta him?
those niggas weren't lying when they said that Silksong was bloodborne to HK's dark soulsyou even get a clinic with bugs getting injected with old bloodsilk
>>719979261yeah I did not have to buy that, I found it somewhere instead. Weird.
THREAD WHERE
>>719979284Pretty sure the other ants did
>>719979085>find out later in the game all the bugs are interwoven with silk and you're basically forcing them to spit out their thoughts
>>719979463>>719979463>>719979463>>719979463
>>719974749I only saw Grindle in the slab after freeing him. Who is gilly?
>>719979284I hope you bought that tool, otherwise you're not able to achieve 100% completion anymore.
