>KrattJust another cliche ugly old bastard or a misunderstood gentleman?
The game does not make me feel comfy. It makes me stressed and angry. Face the music, it's a shit fucking game with clunky mechanics. Give it 6 months and the YouTube video essayists will start coming out in DROVES. History will not be kind to Silksong like it was for the first Hollow Knight
first tryfuck you bitch
>>720058573Posted it again award.
>>720058724Here's your "got the COVID vaccine award" for being a herd-minded hype-beast retard. All these people calling this awful game good can't possibly be wrong! Don't believe my lying senses!!!I'm sorry you waited seven years butdeep inhaleSilksong is shit
>>720058632I lost a run against her because I hit her by accident while trying to deal with one of the flying shits and she got stunned and fell on top of me.
>>720059262>reddit spacingYou got the wrong thread to shitpost btw, it's the other one that's active now.
Come on game, if you're gonna give me an extra tool slot at least make it either blue or blue/yellow. I don't need more yellows.
It's kind of disappointing how much better the Wanderer Crest is compared to everything else
groal is actually so free if you just hang back and poke him with harpoon a bunch>shoots the slowest moving fireball ever that you jump into yourself like the biggest retard over and over
RUNNING INTO A WALL DAMAGES IT?! ABSOLUTELY FUCK OFF!
there IS a way up those balances at the citadel gate right? i DIDN'T brick my save by leaving the area before activating some shit?
I beat the beastfly after hours of trying only to my friends tell me i could have gotten the wall jump to make dodging easier.
>the mistwhat the FUCK do i do here

FINALLY BEAT THE JUDGE. is there another shitty boss runback or was that the worst one?>>720063726i also beat him early and didn't have that much trouble with another boss until much later.
>>720063726also the beast crest is by far the worst crest in the game, enjoy your literal nothing
>bugstein and smugh at the top of Hunter's MarchI just cheesed the fuck out of the flier with the traps and then took my time with the big guyI feel like I didn't beat them

Anyone gifting copies?
maybe dont name the town bilewater if you dont want everyone dumping their shit water on top of you all the time dummies
is something supposed to happen when you do this?https://streamable.com/07yg50
>>720063983nta but fighting him at least gets you decent at controlling hornet/dealing with summon spam.
I just beat Lace for the second time. Does continuing end the game? I heard there is an act 3 but you need to unlock it from a wish or something? I'm worried about locking myself into ending the game.
I just got an ending, beat the final boss in one try (lmao gg); now what? Is there some elaborate string of events I should follow to get like a more complicated ending? 30h game time.
How do I get in this area? I've tried to find any passage in that spot
>>720063329Hunter is the best by far
>>720063989the game gives you those traps to use, they're even an iconic attack Hornet does against you in HKnever feel shame for beating the game with the tools it gives you
>>720063989>bugstein and smugh
>The ritual beckonsUhhh bros? I don't think I trust the fleas any more.
>break hidden wall>bilewaterWtf? I'll never get to act 2 at this rate.
>>720064127I appreciate it for this at least. Took me a number of tries rivaling nightmare king grimm, not bad for a *flies at you* enemy with two attacks.
any hints on what to do to open this door with an angry beast behind it?
>>720063726I fought Beastfly late Act 1 and he was still annoying, but it only took several tries instead of the hours I see people talk about.The real feelsbad was beating Judge with it's hellish corpse run only to find out later that the flea caravan moves in right next door to the boss room.
>>720064314Where at?
MY WAIFU IS DAMAGED GOODS!?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
>>720064328The path starts below on the map, you'll need wall climb to access it.
>>720064314You can get to Act 2 through Bilewater and the hidden boss in an area it connects to
The Wanderer dash attack is so fucking good, dash in and combo them 3 times then dash out before they have a chance to attack
>>720064047DR0C4-5KAIQ-VHBAKGJ0LX-WRWFX-XKQBYHZ9BS-9NWW6-I4B3E
>>720064340What were the conditions for the flea caravan to move? I have a suspicion that it won't move until you've beaten the judge.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IM LOSING ALL MY FUCKING MONEY
>>720064407Really? I have wall climb but I haven't opened that door. Is it directly below Pilgrim's Nest?
>>720064127sorta, though the trick in most fights is "use your weaver technique" which doesn't quite work against his adds because the crawling bugs and the big bugs don't die in 1 hit, and have annoyingly long invincibility frames on their attacks it's especially annoying that they can actually fukken i-frame the stomp attack beast bug does that normally kills them
so when you upgrade the hunter crest, do you have to do attacks immediately after the other to get the benefit of the increased damage from successive attacks? because then it would be worthless against bosses.
>>720064516it's not worth it
damn what did bro do
>>720064520Post a wider screenshot of the map, there should be a vertical section in the areas below that you haven't explored yet and it should be obvious.
>>720064328fun fact for this, you can easily miss out on this but if you play your needolin next to the door you can hear the beast singing to itit's a sapient bug, not a mad beast bit of a secret
>HORNET HONEY I'M HOM-
caltrops are goated. even saved me against flying bosses by getting hits on them when they do their inevitable slam
reaper crest is the bestyou constantly have full silk
What the hell do I do after bilewater? I feel like Ive been everywhere I can go right now but I dont see anywhere for new progress and there are still a couple places I cant reach even with double jump
>>720064520>>720064586Wait, I just remembered it's not obvious. Sorry bro, go to the tram station and try the bottom right corner, the path is actually hidden. Got my wires crossed, my bad.
someone spoil me on the "fast travel from anywhere" shit. I really need this to make getting all the fleas not a pain
>>720064516if you force close then it doesn't save, sit at the nearby bench then savescum
>>720064553BUT I ALREADY GAEV HIM 300 ROSARIES
>>720064606I think you can get a song from playing the needolin near almost anyone, it's a bit like the dream nail. Kinda neat.
>>720064553Wrong, it's very worth it.
i have defeated First Sinner , what next??what about that area with the frog everyone's talking about?
>>720064445Really? I thought the only way was through the boss that /v/ was fearmongering about, I was leaving the final area of blasted steps for last.
>>720064398>>720064610THIS CAN’T BE TRUE WHAT THE FUUUCK
>>720064764bilewater, get these from the whispering vaults or sinners road
>>720061343>4chan might judge me for how I format my online posts I have to fit in and make them look as unreadable as fuck and if I ever format them to be funnier as they are read that's REDDIT because the high IQ geniuses like me on 4chan said soCattle confirmed
>>720064398>non canon
>>720064761not the fast travel bug he just roars to itonly sapient bugs sing to it, some have the same songs as each other (couple ones in the flea caravan have the same song)but it's notable for this one that there's otherwise no real hint that it's sapient, and course you don't have to fight it (reward isn't even that great), if you open the gate it stops attacking you and leavesgenuinely a fun secret
>>720064534Nah, there's a little bar that fills up after a couple of hits, look to the left of your health masks. You lose it if you get hit.
Finally got all the equipable items in the game. Missing two mask shards and one spool fragment but I'm at 96%. Where's the latest percent?
What's the best way to farm bone shards in act 2? I'm fucking starving of them fighting these bosses
>>720064878
>>720064831That particular boss is skippable if you go through the other area. You can fight that guy from the otherside with a much shorter run back
>>720064507I'm really not sure. By the time I returned it was a while after wandering around in Act 2. To the point that I found half the fleas in the game and saved Kratt. It's too broad to speculate on. But they did already set a precedent of skipping Greymoor. I could see them skipping Blasted Steps as well. While this game is difficult I can't imagine they would place such a convenient bench only after it becomes redundant just to fuck with us.
>>720063329The range is too small, maybe if there's a longnail tool later on I'd use it more.

Why does the needolin cost silk? Is there any gameplay reason? Seems fuckin stupid.

>>720057975Just got the "normal ending".Did hornet just ascend to Godhood?
when should I go to hunter's marsh? I beat the ant and I'm pretty comfortable with pogo platforming, but I lose the arena fight because I struggle to observe & react to attack patterns.
>>720057975Silksong is a mean game. Don't get me wrong I am having a great time but it is not comfy. Once you leave Bonebottom/Marrows it becomes a struggle. Hell one of the NPCs even comments on this after Hornet brags about it being easy, the NPC says that's bullshit because they know Hornet's been struggling like hell to ascend.
how do you fight the bellbeast rematch?

>>720065153you can get to the place that you unlock it right away
How much damage does Hornet gain with the first needle sharpening upgrade? It feels like it's taking me the exact same amount of hit to kill stuff. I remember in HK getting my very first nail upgrade made basically everything in my path take at least one fewer hit to die, but here it feels the same.
>>720065038Because you're creating silk to play it on the needle.
Anyone else feel like the double jump is dogshit?I honestly wish I could turn it off cause its fucking up my platforming more than helping.
>>720065219huh?
>>720064875well, i just found a very hidden passage to the right of the libraries... how the hell would i have been supposed to find that out? it isn't even noticeable.

>>720065391Just go around the ghosts and follow the flies
>>720065435Look at that thick ass, look at that humongous booty
>>720065410Comfy is the game being casual enough that I can soak in the atmosphere and feeling of the game without having to stress over mechanics all the time. I'm not actually asking for bosses to be easier, I just don't like traversal being so difficult being basic enemies have special combos and take 10 hits to kill, while spikes and vines deal 40% of my HP over platforming sections that are White Palace tier difficult.
Any gifting?

>>720065734So you're admitting that the standard traversal in Silksong is Path of Pain tier? That only confirms what I told you, that the majority of this game is too mean and mechanics-intensive to be comfy.

>>720065789It's a sequel. There is zero room for doubt since it leads on from one of the endings. It's not up for debate. Prequel cucks need to stop coping.

>>720063329I feel you. I keep switching back to hunter for the upgrade and dual tools then immediately turning it off. Vesi crest means free compass so I don't care about one tool, it changes to suit the situation now.
>>720066184You do see the Shade Lord for a split second.
>>720066083Sorry I care about lore. I'll be sure to not hurt your precious fee-fees next time I talk about it, you whiny /pol/fag.

>>720066289Yea.>annoying platforming section with monsters hitting you for 2 masks or blocking you?>not anymore
>>720066054I did the Path of Pain. I would never enjoy a game in which the Path of Pain is the standard experience and never really stops. Moderation in game design matters.

>>720066289If you use the tools that the devs gave you, then you beat the game.
something i like about this game is that they're not afraid to throw very hectic bossfights at you that don't give you much time to rest. a lot of hollow knight's bosses just felt slow and plodding with long telegraphs and wide, sweeping movements.
>part in hornets memories where the white castle motif kicks inoh my GOD i am literally pogging the fuck out
Yep, that's good 46 hours. final ending unlocked.Can't believe We got to see my boy againOverall thoughts on Silksong:Unironically very well balanced, nothing felt really that bullshit. Fun fights, great movement, fantastic setting, good soundtrack.. Just overall a better Hollow Knight. 10/10 good Indieslop.
uhh... where did the rhinoceros beetle go? Did i miss something by being a pussy and not killing him when i had the chance?
Where the heck do I use this? I went to craw gauntlet in Greymoor but that's not here.
>>720066232I do honestly accept that it's the meme kaizo version of Hollow Knight but I'm still not really having fun because the game is pretty obviously designed on purpose to not be fun. I'm still playing exclusively for the steam cheevo so I can shut down fanboys later when I say how shit it is, and because it's too late for me to refund it.

>>720066732am i on a list now?
>>720066625I like to use Architect with poison/double throw as a sort of "Random bullshit go" versus arena fights where some waves are just a massive pain. It does depend how often you use skills over healing though. I love the parry so I don't really use architect all that often.
Lads where the fuck do I spend the 4th simple key, and where the HELL is the 5th craftmetal?
>>720065530Choral music and rosary farming tho
As someone who crawls every nook and cranny after every upgrade get I can tell you following about the double jump and I think this is the earliest point you can go for it is as soon as act 2 after cogwork dancers and claw line since you can just traverse the area then.btw anyone who calls mount fay white palace equivalent is a platformer pussy because besides the area gimmic putting some pressure on you the actual platforming was really easy.
>Bilewaterwtf, who thought this was a good idea?

I can't decide if I like this thing or not.
Is it possible to get a map for the mists/exhaust organ or is it just gonna be a big empty space?
>>720066804Just report this idiot.
Two ants that block merchant in hunters march are straight up impossible to beat
>>720066796You get a free blue and a free yellow slot via a weaver door near the very start of the game
>>720066821Cage in sinner's road. Room in the high ward, room near the big crafting lady. All the way left from the first town. No clue about the craftmetals though, sorry.
What the FUCK is Mist's deal? I get what it's doing but I can't seem to make any progress.

GUYS THERE IS A SECRET BENCH IN BILEWATER I REPEAT THERE IS A SECRET BENCH IN BILEWATER
i'm taking a piss break
>mfw theres ACT VWhere does it end?
>>720066184lol
>>720066869>no votes for architect>1 vote for shaman/v/ is nothing but casuals stuck in act 1 because they can't beat last judge, damn
>>720066865Where is this? Everyone keeps talking about it but I haven’t found it yet.
>>720066869No Vesticrest option?
>>720064606When I opened the door he ran awayI still need to kill one more of those to complete my hunters journal
is there bell beast travel in choral citadel? i forgot to go with the caravan and they're sitting in moorwing areaor does it not really matter when I progress their quest? I already found two of the little dudes in act II
>>720066914Not even gonna spoiler it because everyone's asking this.You play music for the butterflies and they fly to the real exit. You gotta go through like five rooms to get out.
>>720067007Blight town, but even more cancerous.
>>720066931I'm just doing that zone, holy shit you are a life saver.
The old hag sings with you if you play her the Needolin
>>720067043it doesn't matter when you progress the flea questalso there is in fact a fast travel point in that area
So I'm guessing we need to farm rosaries in this one? Considering the amount we need. There's probably a good farming spot somewhere.
>>720067108Every single NPC does
>>720066797>Nah you never did path of pain lol.I did. Years ago. Your argument predicating on guessing something neither of us can prove (there's no achivement for it) means your argument is shit.
this isnt a comfy game
>>720067049Okay I thought the flies had something to do with it, thanks anon.
>>720067108every single npc sings with you if you play them the needolin
WHy is unravelled such a fucking nigger
>>720067108Pretty much Every NPC does, and so do enemies. There's also ghosts..
>>720065556you can keep smacking him around in the camp and juggle him, but only before you leave the area
>>720066910for a hunter crest, not beast crest
>>720067136I'm farming the 2 guys just outside the bell beast station in the citadel.
Why does Hornet only have two eyes while her mother and other spiders had six? Were the Pale King's genes that strong?
>>720066329>>720066604does the pinstress teach you anything else? I talked to her again and she gave nothing
>>720067108Literally everyone except bosses do.
>>720066869Bro I don't even have witch and shaman yet, kek. And I guarantee most others don't either.
>>720067007Above Graymoor
>>720067139I don't need to prove anything to someone bad at video games.
>>720065726i think silk song's ost on average is about the same as hk's if not slightly better. hk is carried by city of tears though and nothing in ss can touch that
>>720066595Still samefagging here schizo?
so why can't hornet just call HK to suck up all the void cum devouring everything?
Where do you go to farm rosary beads?I liked the long corridor to the left of the songclave but it's much worse in act 3.With the Thief's Mark, obviously.
>>720066506>savage faggotfly breaks all my platformsWELL NOW WHAT
>>720066154Tf do you have on your vesicrest if you main compass
choral chambers ost is making me feel nostalgic for something that I don't remember
>>720067239you need the upgrade to hook onto rings, and there are rings near her home
>a THIRD raceJesus I barely won the second one
>check reddit while taking the most insane long piss ever>niggers are moaning about a 30 second runback to judgethis game is getting nerfed to the ground
can anyone spoonfeed a retard on where the architect and witch crests are?
>>720067424i only play my needolin for her.
Hornet finally proved that she is stronger than Knight!
At this point I’m about to mod the hell out of this game because their design choices are so bad they should be published for them. Hell I might even pirate the game and refund the copy I bought because they did so much stupid shit in this game that I’ve lost respect for them. Padded artificial diffuculty due to lazy fucking shit game design
>>720066350nigga you can always find her in bellhart and she'll sell you the map as long as you at least talked to her in the new area
Where do i find the snare setter? Eva told me it's near where moss and den meet, but i didn't find anything in here.
>>720067424She's cute
SEX WITH THE PHANTOM
wish they just stuck with the charm system from HK.I really dont feel the need to use other crests, they seem meh
>>720067472>her
>>720067445Witch is behind a long ass sidequest involving reverse-birthing and Architect is just bought with the key from the citadel machinist.
4%? Really?
so that bilewater bench fake out was a joke right? there's a second bench in there somewhere... right?
Getting rid of environmental double damage (except for the lava) and balancing rosary economy would completely fix the game, and it's kind of frustrating because there's so much to like here.
That's strangely satisfying.
>>720067424Where do I find this one again? I didn't see her after that village with the door getting bashed against
Can someone remind me where Huntress is again?>>720067472Sherma is a boy btw.
>>720067514It's in a hidden area in the weavernest to the left part of it, not the one with the bench.
Anyone know where the collector's map is? Everywhere seems to be talking in gay vague riddles like "uhhhh have you tried checked the areas on the right"
I think you fags are sleeping on the beastEquip all damage and attack speed stuff, and try to melt a boss with it
>>720067564Most people are still playing blind. This is a fairly diffcult to find boss fight.
>>720066869Crests piss me off>Fun witch crest gameplay>But it changes your heal into a REALLY shitty lifesteal
>>720067445Witch Crest is a whole ass quest chain and it fucking SUCKSYou need the Architect's Key to get the Architect's Crest.>>720067514Weavenest Alta, but you need double jump
>>720067564I'm currently softlocked at Last Judge. I literally can't progress because the game doesn't progress after the door opens
>>720067514At the spider nest in the starting area, above the bench is a secret room with the Snare setter
>>720067514Go to Area RelatedJump through ceiling????ProfitAlso, this was the first actual glitch I experienced, 32 hours playtime
>>720067514fake ceiling in the middle level
Hornet receives the wisdom of floral hivemind
>>720057975>parkour to activate the sinner's path benchand we're done
send help
>>720067678You need to go track down all the bells you ignored and whackem.
>>720067713Yeah I've seen that one
>>720067547>>720067628no...no..........
>>720067713I saw that one too.
>>720067721Lmao
>>720067564nigga most people probably have less than 8 hours in the game so far. hell, a decent number of player probably rage quit at bell beasthell, to this day, only like 60% of people who played bloodborne have beaten father gascoigne
>>720067721wow... he's literally me...
>>720067665Wait, what's the actual path then? I thought going through the mist was how to progress
>>720067713https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82dSwKXV_BA
>>720067721Wtf devs put me in the game!?
>>720067472>her>>720067526>sheIt's a boy.
Finally, a good mod for the game.
Seriously my brothas where the fuck is huntress? I forgot.
>If you use tools in a dream fight and you die, they are filled back up without using any shardsHow strangely convenient, for once
this place fucking sucks dick
>Sinners Rise>Wisp ThicketWhat ither places are abhorrently fucking terrible?
>72 minutes playedEasy refund. I enjoyed hollow knight but this shit is trying a bit too hard to be "good".
>>720067823Yeah whatever I'm raping him next time I see him
>>720067713I got a glitch fighting that zesty grimm troupe reject, where I clipped into the ceiling and couldn't get down.I'm too lazy to make a webm of it thoughever
Where do you get the final Silk Heart? I've gotten the true ending and it still eludes me.For that matter where the hell did I get the second one? It just showed up one day.
Do I have to go through hunter's marsh? Or can it wait a while? just found lace for the first time, she feels way easier than the long runback+ant arena
>>720067721
>>720067721I look like this and say that
>>720067739if you don't have double jump, get double jumpif you do have double jump, there's something you can do to make the fight a bit easiertake a look around in the empty room
People will look at this shit and act like the increased difficulty isn't justified. This game is like the speed difference coming from Dark Souls 1 to Bloodborne.
>>720067842use hook to enemies then pogo them
>>720067776Daddy Gas Can is harder than later bosses, though.
>>720067823still has a tight boy hole for my needle
>>720067630>>720067668>>720067691>>720067713>>720067719thanks everyone, i've been having a lot of trouble spotting secret ceiling holes
>>720067848Forced quality
>>720067847What the fuck is "wasp thicket"
>>720067564I can't believe people haven't fought this secret boss in this three day old game
>>720063329It's a short pee pee crest I can't relate to it
>>720067913Yes, and I hate it.
>>720067721Is this real?
I died at the same time I killed the last guy after recovering my gear in the slab. After running around everywhere I could, it appears I'm truly fucked.
>>720067740Nope. That's not what I'm talking about. After beating the Last Judge, the door opens and the sound cuts out and Hornet just stands there. Nothing happens and the game just softlocks.
>>720067886You don't have to do the beastfly, but the boomerang and fractured mask are hidden behind a wall up there and they are two of the best early game items.
loli hornet uoooh
IM MISSING ONE SINGLE FUCKING MASK FRAGMENT AAAAAAAAAAAA
hornet should just permanently have maggots and muckroach knots in her bussy
>>720067564Optional. Most people went through Last Judge instead.
>>720067814there are two ways up into the citadel. one is killing phantom, which you did, and the other is through blasted steps. when you see people screaming about last judge, that's the path they're taking.
>>720067913I'm eagerly waiting for speedrunners doing crazy tech.
>>720067713>Also, this was the first actual glitch I experienced, 32 hours playtimei was in the mountain area where you get double jump, died, and respawned at the first bench in the tower. when i got off the bench, i clipped into the floor somehow. could hear myself swing the sword but couldn't jump or anything. eventually checked my map and it had my marker way down in blasted steps somehow lel
>>720067906the simple key locked door? yeah I don't have simple key
>>720067976Dang you're fucked. Might have to try going from the mist.
>>720067913 Combat is fun but platforming isnt. Theres no reason why wall traps are doing 2 damage.
>>7200679132 hearts for contact damage on those was a step too far
>>720068061Where is that?
Can you get into the wormways door without double jump?
Where will I get the second simple key in act 1? I want to do a side area to not be mad
>spend 80 eurobux to travel somewhere>its a dead endlmao
>>720068058no, the other empty roomyou might need to loop around to get up there, i don't remember
>>720067972 yesalso here’s a textless version in case anyone wanted to make this handsome plant say something
>>720067976A cutscene is supposed to play there. Check your file integrity. Might be the movie file is corrupted.
>>720068020More like the ASSBLASTED STEPS WHICH IS WHAT THIS STEAMING PILE OF RHINO DIARRHEA IS
>killed the cage flies that were in hunter's march and graymoore>I was supposed to lose to get to the prison early>have to run all the way back to the one in sinners so that I can lose on purpose
>>720066979>ACT VII>there is no end to the content in site, please send help
>>720067258Fuck, I feel like I’ve explored all of Graymoor but I still haven’t found it, am I blind?
Silksong is GOTY, there's no way someone doesn't get up to Act 3 and admit it
>>720068123oh shit
Holy shit that final boss is fucking cancer.
did I fuck up by talking to this guy only after finishing the quest? did I miss anything
>>720067842the sting shard tool carried me through this fight, can easily kill all the enemies just with that if your stuff is upgraded
>>720067913>This game is like the speed difference coming from Dark Souls 1 to Bloodborne.So it's a confirmed GOTYAY then
>>720068126I wonder what he'd sing if she played the needolin.
>>720068116Sinners passA big spiky man will drop it at the top of a tall shaft past a walljumping challenge
>>720067976Just grab somebody’s save, tf you gonna do? Replay?Sure youll get used goods hornet but so be it
>>720067913>that kill timeget gud
>>720068220BUG PUSSY UOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>720068201That's the thing. The game's like one big filter but if you manage to get to Act 3 you will go>Wow this is fucking amazing this game is great
>>720068235what crest
I promised myself I wouldn't post before getting a true ending but then the game dropped this on me and I couldn't not do the jokemild spoilers
for the anons who've played a bit into act 2 or finished it:which do you think is better?act 1 or act 2?
>>720068220UNDER THE MOON BUG ISHO
>>720068141It's not that. There's a problem I've been having where cutscenes only play if I don't have another one play. For instance, if I fast travel, the cutscene plays the one time but won't do it again until I restart the game. I tried killing Last Judge after restarting so this wouldn't happen but it does anyways. So, I'm truly fucked. I'm on Windows 11 LTSC but this also happened when I was on Windows 10 LTSC. There's some file that I literally can't obtain or something that necessary and I don't know what it is.
>>720067913the grapple thing is underrated, makes the combat so much more fluid. easy three hits on any enemy really quick and then dash away
>>720067776>>720067939>>720068018I have 10 hours in the game. I have no idea who the fuck "the judge" is. I thought going through The Mist was the way to progress. I just beat the phantom and act 2 started afterwards
>>720068209nah hes just like that
>>720068295architect
Is crafting kit worth it?
>>7200683142
>>720068209No, he's just an asshole.
>>720068314When does act 2 even start?
You’re a fucking faggot if you play this game bruh
To be desu, act 2 enemies seem easier than act 1? They dont really do much more than in act 1 and you get better tools compared to running with nothing but a shitty dash
Why do I sometimes get a white flash when I hit things?
>>720068339How did you find the Mist? I beat the Judge but my game softlocks after. Where is it? I feel like I've been literally everywhere
>>720068235man I spent like an hour running laps back and forth there from bench to bench grinding beads to buy everything275 beads from 5 guys if I didn't get hitNeeded 2500 to buy everything for my house
I'm stuck, I dont even know what this area is but it has lava floor and vertical air streams. I can't use the air streams and there is a locked fucking door at the end of the area. I can't even get out of here. Where the fuck do I go
>>720067136I'm not farming rosaries. I'm also not buying anything. Team Cherry obviously wants you to pick and choose one, maybe two items per vendor. If they wanted you to actually buy everything, they would give you more rosaries.
>>720068413temporal lobe epilepsy
>>720067913didn't know that grapple move could be useful on combatmaybe i need to practice
are there more than 4 keys/locks?
>>7200683142 by a lotthe boss fights are significantly more fun, you get more interesting crests and charms, the abilties you get change the game a lot especially the grapple
>>720068209He's a big nigger, literally and figuratively the blackest nigger in whole Pharloom
>>720068464Bottom right
>>720068413Because the wanderer crest has crits.
>>720068490It's mandatory for a few fights actually.
>>720067564nigga I haven't even seen this boss and have no clue where it is
>>720068208which final boss? if you mean the one in act 2, I actually enjoyed it a lot and found it kind of easy. reminiscent of the early stages of the moth god in HK. once you get it's rythm and speed it's satisfying
>>720068307Hot
>>720068220I POST AND POST AGAIN…I POSTED IT AGAIN… ALAS I GET NO (you)S
>>720068430Sinners Path, its directly above the PubIf you get to an even worse area just keep moving till you find the fast travel, then its directly left
I've literally been sitting here listening to choral chambers for an hour. I want to play the game but the musics too good
>>720068545The true final boss. It's straight up cancer teleporting everywhere and getting contact damage because of that.
>>720067739awful fight. if your on the last two dudes, just grapple above the door and they wont be able to hit you. wait for an opening
>>720068220WET SLICK AND SILKY HORNET PUSSYHMMMM IM GONNA CUMHORNET PUSSY....
How do you get the upgraded Druid's eye?
>>720068430It's in the Sinner's Road area. Go further and you find a place called Bilewater. The Mist is somewhere around there. I'm pretty sure it has 2-3 places you can access it from. In Bilewater, it's right by the shortcut train thing. I don't have Bilewater's map, but just go through Sinner's Road and you'll find it eventually
wasnt there a door for the key of the apostate outside of the slab? where was it i need a strategy guide or remember to use their stupid pin system
TROBBIO
>>720068490its great for rushing down fliers, or anything that rapidly backs away
>That dynamic music when you Parkour up from the AbyssSo good
>>720067357I just now unlocked it. Also it expands? Neato!
Great fight. very much like a dance. My right trigger is getting fucked thanks to this game though

where's the architect door again? I bought the key but my dumb ass didn't mark the door
>>720068513It's a locked door
>>720068721So what are everyone's guaranteed tools?Compass and Longclaw for me
>>720068726My actual fingers are getting fucked. I might need to take a break.
is it just me or is this little nigga really good?
Enlightened ones, please tell me how to recognise a fake ceiling/wall? Do you just hit/jump into everything
>>720068220NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP
>>720068745Above the vendor, go through the door on her right, up and then left.
>>720068314I think all the issues with the game are in act 1.
>karmelitai am getting my ASS handed to me
>>720068782Bead Magnet and Poison ToolsPeople actually use the compass?
>>720068782Same.
>>720068745right there

>>720057975cute!!
>>720068726I hope you didn't have a difficult time on it, the rematch is brutal, did that one second try and I have been stuck on the rematch for hours.
>>720068574>>720068653I've gone through all of Sinner's Road besides the one spot where I need double jump.>>720068739I've been using LTSC for gaming since 2018 and I've had zero problems besides when I needed the v9 codec for Wo Long. I can't install the Media Feature Pack because it's not there
>i forgot you could double tap the map button to open the full map right awaydamn, i'm stupid

>>720068806They always look off slightly. Like how in old cel animated cartoons you can always tell when somethings about to move because it pops out from the background slightly.
>>720068087why are you falling for the same trap twice lmao
>>720066538>delivery quest on a timer from bellhart to the corar chambers that requires perfect movementnot even close. once you have double jump and clawline movement in the entire game is trivialized and you suddenly see shortcuts everywhere. even if you are slow you can make it there with a third of the time left provided you dont get hit. just run past everything.
Where the fuck is Blasted Steps
>stuck for hours>stumble upon a new area accidentally>fully explore it>doesn't actually give me anything useful but some tools I'm not going to useholy fuck where is the last prison key I'm going insane
>>720069035left
>>720069043if you want to be spoiled, it's in bilewater, past the vore boss everyone bitches about
>lacewhat is this character even? she gets rekt several times but somehow still acts like a smug cunt
>>720068721there's always a few people in threads asking what are the requeriments but it seems like truly nobody knows. it's funny how in the game it's super vague like "come back when your nature grows!" and hornet says "oh yeah sure my g i'll come back because i totally understand what you talking about", but truthfully we have no idea.
I still got a few loose ends here and there but I'm not sure that I'll keep finding new areas so easily, I'm thinking about playing the melody at the altar already. But somehow I feel it'll just give me a 'fakeout' ending.
Any Hunterchads? I only switched to Wanderer for dps on a couple of bosses. I've heard Beast is good for gauntlet rooms, I should try it.
>>720069030i had almost half the time left when i got there lmao.for anyone struggling with this, don't. just go get double jump and it's trivial.
>>720069106She isn't real. Just a ghost in the thread.
>>720065113worldbuilding, anon. Pharloom really drives in how much of a hellhole it is

>>720068671>wasnt there a door for the key of the apostate outside of the slab?Yeah, near the fast travel spot.
>>720068970didnt take me that long, i'd say about ~10 tries? really got to be patient with the fight. otherwise too much aggressiveness is just gonna get you parried
>people are on karmelita>i cant even find sinner
>>720069106brat correction simulator after she gets her first taste of Hornet spankings she becomes addicted and follows you around goading you into punishing her more
>>720069142it wont, it's a fight and then you can go back to do the rest of the map. it's fun good luck
>>720069106It unironically makes sense when you get to act 3 what they were trying to do with her
>>720069152I've been sticking with, and will continue to stick with Hunter this playthrough.It's a bit vanilla but that's alright with me.
>>720069080>bilewateruh oh

>>720069490inaccessable till you have double jumpyou run past it on the way to the fast travel
>>720069490I don't have it yet, but I'm a secret finder god, so I'm 100% sure you need double jump to get it
>>720067913best part? he dies to one charged attack on archetict and i think 1-2 normal onesi really want to exact dmg
I like how they teased two different biomes that as far as I can tell aren't in the game
>>720068314i don't think it's that clear cut since it's not like you never go back to the act 1 area, and you'll probably discover stuff there that you could have found in act 1 but didn'tbut imo act 2 is way better because the combat/movement feel great once you get double jump and grapple
>>720069676>he actually doesn't knowact 3
>>720067721I see you found my backer character
>>720069194I don't even really understand what the place is. So Hollow Knight is set in another kingdom, and IIRC Hornet is some kind of ||royalty|| there (also NPCs constantly call Hornet in that way here). but Hornet got kidnapped to this realm because she's ||part spider|| and she's relevant for the silk mind control thing? at the end of act 2 I found the ||logs of other kidnapped bugs that said how much weaver dna they had inside or whatever||are the worlds just tiny insect nests that are a little bit far away? are the gods from both realms relevant always or are they independent from eachother?maybe this is obvious for the lorechads but I've just been skimming the dialogues and it's been a while since I last played HK. I'm aware that lots of things are prob explained in act 3 (I've already seen a few lore spoiler pics of act 3 so if an anon wants to go in depth about it feel free)
I can't with these command grabs in Sinner's Rise.
Can someone explain the lore and cosmology to a brainlet?
>>720069676oh no no nomore like spoiler zone
Can you do the Mist from the moment you enter or do you need a hint from some NPC to go past the looping rooms?
>>720058632what tool is that
Where's the hunter's march store? I need my crutches
>>720069764You need to sNEEDOLIN
>>720068969
>>720069293What's your tool setup? Me, I have gotten a ton of mileage out of the Druid's Eye, and I also like the fast sprint and the weaver trap.
>Just rolled the creditsFug, I thought they would tell me my game completion.I totally missed the double jump, is there a third act?
>>720063329a nerfed version since hornets hitbox is fuckhuge and i get fucked when i pogo
WHY THE FUCK CANT I FIND BILEWATER
>>720069879you're not even halfway done with the games content
Silksong is a another case of a sequel to a game (Hollow Knight) which the developers didn't understand why people loved.They think it is the sweaty platforming as in white palace and the late tryhard bossfights but in reality it was everything that came before that.Silksong is just a high difficulty DLC to Hollow Knight and they never should have turned it into a new game. There is nothing new in Silksong.>>720065561This
>>720057975>that gauntlet with the temporary lava platforms and escape sequenceMan...I only have so much stamina for this game. Any time you explore, seems like you get slapped with some pretty tough gauntlets and platforming. Fun in moderation. Exhausting at the rate I've been playing, though kek.
this shit was not fucking worth it
>>720069816Second room from the top on the left hand side of the big verticle room after the gauntlet behind a fake wall.
>>720069859lol
>>720069228>karmelita>sinnerwho?
>>720069715>>720069738Well shieeeeeeeet
finally got act 2 through the shitty buzzsaw and now im at a place whre shit takes 5 hits to kill. cool.nice change of pace now though. i feel like theres shit to actually explore
>>720069901>They think it is the sweaty platforming as in white palace and the late tryhard bossfightsAnd they were right.
>>720068969>>720069859AWOOOO
>>720069560That's the spike trap isn't it
>>720069895Excellent news.
>>720068123THANK'S ANON REMOVING THE GAY FLOATING SPIDERS MAKES IT MUCH MUCH EASIER>inb4 you didn't beat the gauntletSUCK MY DICK
>>720069483what flea juggle
>>720065936LelBranch looks like hornet is doing a face palm
>>720069764Use the guitar on the fireflies
>8h later, some bosses, some areas and things unlocked>check eva>still has nothingits triggering me at this point
>Act 4What the fuck is Team Cherry's problem?
>>720069901The problem is the community was by now full of people spending their time in Godhome. All they heard about their previous game from their community was about that.
>>720069718Hollow Knight is set in Hallownest and surroundings, an entirely different kingdom. There's a lot of details but basically Hornet is the child of the Pale King from Hallownest and a Spider Queen from Deepnest (Which is close to Hallownest) So she's half spider, weaver in specific. Old Silky needs more silk so she captures Weavers and Weaver adjacent to keep the looms spinning so to say.Gods can be interchanged with higher beings, creatures who grant the normally feral insects sentience. So imagine a world which are just feral lands aside from the kingdoms here and there centered around these higher beings. Some known higher beings are the Radiance, The Pale King and Grandmother Silk. Sure there's more but this is a shortlist of the most relevant ones.
so what's this for?
there are some secret nooks that just reward you with a tiny batch of ammo shards... so boring. in HK the small geo rewards were always useful and never felt like bullshit, but in here the currency rewards for exploration just feel like a slap in the face
>>720070004No you're thinking of the bugs in the little shack in Sinner's Road.
when can i get back to act1 areas after i enter act 2?
>>720070110Your Needolin actually has a stun effect on enemies, but it is so short range they are gonna get you before you can finish playing. This makes the AOE bigger.
>>720070164when you leave wyrm's sloppy seconds area
>>720066595it was playtested by 8 people total over 7 years. you can imagine the bubble they are in with how its tuned.
>>720069871Pollip Pouch for venom on tools + increased binding speed (being able to heal quickly trivialized some of the harder bosses for me)Flintslate for proccing fire + venom on my regular attacks and Cogfly occasionally for arena fightsHaven't really found and used any neat yellow tools, so I'm running compass and the item that reduces your self knockback
post waifus
>>720070125The shell shard rewards would be a welcome sight if they actually gave you a decent amount. I just found an area with tons of shell geodes and got like 30 shards tops
>>720070042Act 3 at Fleatopia
>>720064516savescum by force closing. i did it on my third try. take your time with it it's not on a timer and the patterns are pretty obvious
Most of the complaints saying HK was better in the music and environments just sounds like pure nostalgia bias to me. You think of it better because you have fond memories of it that have stewed in your mind for 7 years.
>>720070102I seem to remember that there was some like carcass of a titanically huge worm in HK and I think some lore tidbits said that it was the original source of conscience. maybe that was the original "pale king"? anyways I need to check again on that youtuber guy that had all the long lore vids about hollow knight. I watched them all years ago but don't remember. thanks for the summary explanation.it being laid out like this is very fun desu
how the fuck
>>720069483Go beat my 99 second record on the flea dodge.
fuck i figured sinners road was an area i do later now im stuck in act 2 shit with no way to return
>>720069859AWOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>720070320The Pale King was the worm, he just downsized. The maw of the worm carcass has the same shape as the king's crown
>>720070381They can fly.
>>720069483Wait, that's where the third oil is located? Guess I know where to go next.
act 1 felt way too long now that im lookin back at it. probably shorter in retrospect but i think there was a lot of nonsense to do that made it feel longer
How do you get to the mountain area?
>>720068174Is this meming or is it really this long?
>>720070446Top left underworks to choral chambers, breakable floor in CC
>>720069718>shitcord spoilers
core time I guess? there's like nothing here i looked everywhereall the shit in the green is locked
>>720070574>breakable floor in ccshit i must have missed that obvious thing then. im in some place where i saw lace again
>>720070562This game has 20 acts and 412 mapsThe TRUE final boss is so hard you literally have to go into the games code and change it to win
>>720070562I just got to Act IV, threw my hands up, shut down the playstation, and started drinking.
Fey Mountain is FUCKED
>turn on a light >now the area has a bunch of extra enemies>free the thief nigga>lose out on a bunch of loot Why is the game like t his
>>720070263Oh yea I've had the weighted belt in since the beginning, so I completely forgot about it, but that's probably essential for the fighting style I adopted.My brain puts Flintslate in the same category as the Flea poition: it should be good but I can never seem to drink it often at the right moments.
>>720067574Yes. There is another, niggerJust explore.It's by a side road below some bullshit, around where the triangle flying bugs are.
>>720070737Kek
>>720070125i remember stumbling on a room with like a single non special enemy and literally nothing else. Game design.
kino...
>>720070612you cant get core, your next path is whiteward
>>720070689people will laugh at you, but I'm somewhat decent at the platforming and didn't get stuck on it for too long, but I still think it's objectively bullshit. it gives you barely any leeway for mistakes, you have to play it close to perfect. so many casuals will get hard filtered there.
>>720070263>Haven't really found and used any neat yellow toolsGet your hands on the dice, pronto.I thought yellow was supposed to be utility but ~5% chance of negating damage is great.
>>720070737Those guys are free soul
>>720070737Pretty sure the thief sells his fairly found loot to you.
>>720070737>>free the thief nigga>>lose out on a bunch of lootwtf I free'd him too, how fucked am I
i should buy those fucking pins and mark every door but now its too latefound another (not simple) key i have no idea where to put it
>>720070263brew and magnetite for the winThe brew is especially powerful, basically quickslash+strength on command
>>720063827That's kinda funny since I saw butterflies and was like "oh man imagine if it's like following them to get through" or "getting enough of the ghosts killed by their own traps", but I ended up just brute forcing it by running through enough.
>>720070834I did it by using blueblood because I missed a fucking bench hahahaha
>>720070914>Not simpleSo what key is it?
>the easy farming hallway gets nuked in Act 3>new home upgrades that cost over 1kmotherfuckers
>>720070749I definitely use Flintstale a lot less often that I should, but some of the higher tempo fights make it easier to just fire and forget about trying to think of the perfect time to use.
>>720070875>>720070737Thief guy frees himself eventually, you didn't lose out
holy shitthe reveal that the trap summons the void is so fucking cool, and Lace saving you is great as well, really liked that whole sequence
>>720070980On the bright side though, they got rid of that fucking saw, maybe 1000 years darkness might not be that bad afterall
>gauntlet/arena fight behind the locked door in Lava landI nearly went mad with the atrocious runback and then getting meme'd on hard (mostly because of the retarded direction+R1 vs R1 shit)>gauntlet in the ForumPerhaps stretches on too long, but I feel like it kinda made me better at the game and enjoyed it
if this is required, gotta be honest, I don't think I'm going to be able to beat this game.
>>720069859Topkek
Is it ever actually needed?
>>720071260that platforming section is not that bad. you have a bench halfway up behind a wall
>>720071328does the needolin even do anything other than open weaver doors?
Act 3 has its own sidequests, holy shit this game is a beast
>>720068972Weird. I'm playing on LTSC too and did not get softlocked after Last Judge, no issues at all.
What the ACTUAL FUCK is this white flower questWhy not destroy the fucking thing if you get hit? You're not gonna make it anyways!
>>720071397Later in the game it's used for fast travel
>>720071397you can use it exactly like a dream nailgives you dialogue from npcs and makes them sing stops enemies and also gives dialogue but it's very hard to land
>>720071449What the fuck. I'm gonna try reinstalling the game to see if that might do anything
What happens to the snail lady from the intro? She's just vanished for me
I personally think MORE indie developers should design their games in a total vacuum for seven years without letting a single new person play it before release.
>>720071530At what point in the game are you?
>>720071669Act 2, I need her for the last sidequest
>>720071646NOO WE NEED DECADE LONG PAID EARLY ACCESS AND 70 DOLLAR RELEASES OR OUR STOREFRONT WILL CRASH
>>720071646If games were perfect, they would come out of nowhere at all like Hi-fi rush and this and be 10/10's
>>720071701If she's not above, she'll be right below where she usually is
>>720071863She was neither, but turns out I hadn't fought the Skull Tyrant at Bone Bottom and she showed up immediately after. Seems like it's required
So you don't actually need the simple key to enter the door in deep docks. You just need to go throught the secret in the secret in far fields.
>>720071646You need a fuckton of cash like Team Cherry got for their first game to pull that off.I keep hoping one of Kyle Thompson's games will hit it big so he can afford to spend years and years assembling the next one.
>>720071945I think the reason the game forces you to do every interaction like that is to prevent people complaining about missing out on content, even if it makes no sense like having to walk to where the map would be in bilewood before being able to buy it
>>720071958You do if you can't gitgud for the boss below
>>720072104The what in the what now
Gifters?
>>720072156If you can't get the boss down easily, the runback is hellish, so it would be preferable to blow a key on the easy walkback
>>720070125The big chests filled with beads straight up feel like placeholders they forgot to change in most cases
>>720072156It's not an easy one too, enjoy that runback ;)
just kill me now please
First fucking tried Groal the Great let's go.Hunter's crest forever.
>>720071804yet the studio got booted
>>720072213I got you, if you're the first to figure out this puzzle that is
>>720072262:(
I hate the fucking map it makes it seem like I fully explored areas I didn't yet
>>720072305the answer is 34,981
Where's the Pale King apology form.
>>720072287I ate shit the first time because I was maggoted and not expecting the fight with how far back the only bench I knew at the time was.Third time I just threw my entire inventory at him and won.
>>720067564Vros just don't have the gumption. Phantom was kino.
>>720067424>do her quest>watch as her faith is slowly broken>starts fumbling her chant:(
>>720072360FUCK DEEPNESTFUCK MOTHSFUCK WEAVERS (Sex too)LUV ME VOIDLUV ME BUZZSAWSLUV ME ROOT PUSSY
>>720072360I ate it.
so climbing all the way up here was just a fucking joke?
>>720072410I keep forgetting to use red tools. And I even found that item in bilewater that doubles the number of tools you throw out too
>>720072265Apparently you can clear the whole path of enemies then do it? I don't know why I didn't think of that since it worked in HK but I did it the hard way.If you have double jump this is the path I recommend.
>>720072517
>>720072524I have the same issue, I don't use the red tools for 70% of the time till I struggle with something, use them to make it a lot easier. Wonder why I don't use them more often, then don't use them afterwards.Same with the charged up attack in general and the needle throw against fliers.
>>720072551Why are you taking that long ass path? Did it going through wisp thicket got it twice and would have made it getting it two more times.
>>720072551Can confirm killing enemies before hand still worksAlso this is not the worst courier mission, but at least that one isn't timed
