>Literally a worse boss runback than sir Alonne from Dark Souls 2you can't defend this
>>720243446Skill issue
if you kill the boss you dont have to run back...
https://files.catbox.moe/pls5zb.webmon the first fly normaly I'd just take damage and keep running and then kill knight at the top to heal
>>720243446I haven't played it yet but there's no possible way they could have done something worse than horsefuck valley
Good news! You have to do it again. But this time with a strict time limit and without taking damage, having already run through half the map with the next half of the map ahead, and no shortcuts.
I just bait the first drill fly so I can pogo up the left wall and skip a bit.
Im literally in the middle of this section with the boss killing me still and its not that bad yet
>>720244818No joke, all of act 1 is the tutorial. It's about to end.
>>720244287You take no damage on the first fly if run keep running without stopping your sprint. Otherwise that's the route I took. It makes the run back much easier. Also if you're dying to the last judge you can just hit your cocoon at the top for full silk and a free heal.
>>720244952act 2 is easier than act 1 since you get showered in rosaries and also way more upgrades
>install mod that lets me respawn right outside the boss roomnothin personnel, devs
>>720243446You only have to fight one fly, everything else is just a pogo routine.
>>720246759you don't have to fight anything
Anyone else notice that the Judges are reminiscent of Godseeker and her little cult?
>>720246759You're probably thinking of the first red drill fly. You can evade it if you're fast enough.
>>720243446Anyone complaining about this runback should not be allowed to play video games. It literally takes 20-30 seconds. I can't believe how many retards are getting filtered by the easiest shit.
>>720247494People forget how fucking fast Hornet is. If it was any other metroidvania, sure, but like you say it's never over a minute.
>>720247494Anons are old, they don't have reflexes like they used to.Went from mocking game journos being unable to do the cuphead tutorial, to complaining about how an area filled with traps has traps.It's a sad sight, how age degrades a man.
>>720247580Say that in bilewater and not online and see what happens.
>>720247705I'm 35 and better at video games than ever. I know a guy who's 45 and he's, I mean, he's not good but he isn't worse than he was when we were teenagers.
>>720243446You can skip half of it with some optional jumps.
>>720247705I really think some people are just retarded. Age isn't as big a factor as keeping up with exercise, both physical and mental.
>>72024770548 anon. It's not that hard. Youre just mashing sprint a bunch
>>720247705This is cope used by "gamer dads" and shitters
>>720243446>some mild platformingvs>gauntlet with a dozen rape samurai and fireball-spitting lizards
the gauntlet runback in bilewater is worse, even with the secret bench.
>>720243446Just run past the conchfly, its not hard at all.
>>720243446You're assuming that the runback to Alonne bothered me. No, Iron King was a great DLC and all the bosses were fun and not too hard. I loved the run to Blue Smelter and Alonne, I would spend hours putting my sign down and helping other players kill them.
>>720248130These shitters will never reach bilewater
>>720247714Ok, but you have to let us know if you found the secret bench or if you're just shit.
>>720247494I dont enjoy backtracking or running the same map over and over again.Thats for speedrun trannies
>>720243446You avoid that first fly and the rest is incredibly easy. Not like you're having to rush past a dozen enemies
>>720248316Then don't buy a game where backtracking is a feature.
this is literally a Jewish tactic to waste the goy's timedon't give these people any money
>>720248130>Die to an add during the boss>Run back>The gauntlet is part of the boss and not a one time thingLol I'll just install a cheat and skip this one. I want to fight bosses, not random mobs
>>720248418Didnt see it in the advertisement.
What i really hate about Silksong are flying enemies. The weapon is short and most flying enemies fly away from you. Want to kill them with RB? good, but good luck not needing the silk to cure yourself. Tools? Well, also good luck getting one that hit aerial enemies consistently (looking at you Boomerang)
>>720247705The ones complaining are bitchmade zoomers though who need their hand held like in elden ring.
>>720243446ShaaDross je Khalimo Hakana sagamos
>>720248430meds
>>720248464don't forget>you have to beat it for the true ending.
>>720248571So you don't know what a metroidvania is and your opinion doesn't matter. Go buy some yogurt and then return it for having lactose in it.
>>720247705Then they should kill themselves if their age is so problematic that they must constantly complain about it.
>>720243446>I have to go through that part of the map again, but doing the courier's rasher delivery missionim tired...
>>720248464Why are PC vegans so pathetic? They find something challenging and just cheat their way through it. Is it a brown person thing?
>>720248464Just watch it on youtube then.
>>720248571Yes you did. When it was announced as a sequel to Hollow Knight, a game with backtracking.>WHY THE FUCK IS THIS CALL OF DUTY GAME AN FPS
>>720248723>Use my dash attack while doing courier quest, lose a pip.Tt...thanks...
>>720248641Use architect crest and spam poison cogflies. This is the intended way to beat the boss.
>>720243446Just run past everything
>>720243446This wasn’t even that bad unless you’re absolutely awful at platforming you can just skip the enemies it takes like 20 seconds. Anyway, I just beat the cog dancing faggots any tips before continuing on?
>>720248971you don't need tips, just keep playing
>>720248971>I just beat the cog dancing faggots any tips before continuing on?Take your time exploring the Citadel, it's finally a place where you can get good amounts of rosary beads.
>>720248694>>720248859Silksong is the first videogame I've ever played.So no, I had no idea. And "backtracking" was not advertised anywhere like you're implying
>>720248774Sorry, but I dont have time to waste on runbacks.I'll just teleport back to the boss and try the fun part again.
>>720248971Don't continue. The game isn't worth your time.
>>720248589Use the level to your advantage and drag them to a place where you can hit em from below, I usually find that a more consistent way to kill them and get silk.
>>720250191No, Ive never played videogames before silksong. Also not brown so no need to project, mutt.
>>720250475No. No need to project, mutt.
>>720243446Literally nothing to defend. The respawn locations of silksong are a mixed bag, and easily one of its worst aspects.
>>720247494>bossfight that takes 30-60 seconds>runnback that takes 30-45 secondsLiterally no excuse. Walking back from a respawn should not take as long as the boss fight itself.
>>720250768Nice projection, mutt.Lets get back to the point since you're obviously trying to divert attention away from me serving you: This is my first videogame ever so how was I supposed to know about backtracking being a "known feature"?
>>720248589Why are you fighting them? Is there some supernatural force compelling you to hunting down and killing every flying enemy in a room?
>>720251163The gauntlets? Hello?
>>720251163I've seen this behavior in these types of games in general, some players just see RED and hunt shit down like a rabid pitpull with no regard for their safety. If you ever invaded in souls games before you know what I mean.
>>720248774>PC veganstill pissy about sony giving up on exclusivity, huh.
>>720247494>>720247705>>720243446I'm a 36 yo boomer with shit reflexes and low videogame experience and this runback is easy as fuck if you run, you don't have to fight anything. I don't get you guys.
>>720248723don't bother until you have double jump. it's nearly impossible without it
>>720244467Definitely not as bad as that. It's definitely the worst runback in history.
>>720244467Nothing will be as bad as that or blue smelter run back
Run back in Dark Souls causes you to gain souls, building up a larger and larger reward for actually killing the boss. Someone having difficulty will then end up getting more levels, helping them more than someone who doesn't have trouble and kills every boss in one go.It's a natural difficulty balancing.Silksong doesn't want the player to have any ability to gain an advantage for a boss. The runback serves no purpose same as exploring does not.
>>720243446It takes 30-60 seconds to get to the boss once you are used to it. No big deal.
>>720253443That time could be used to have fun practicing the boss
>>720243446>worse boss runback than sir Alonne from Dark Souls 2So you mean an overexaggerated, pretty simple run that you can run past most of the enemies Smelter Demon Part 2 and the Twin Tigers was the actual annoying run backs.
>>720252549Wasn't there a bench in the mantis village?
>>720254086Practice it in your mind during the runback.
Cant really defend this, its just there to waste your time, its bad design
>>720254331You have to beat the mantis lords for the door to unlock
>>720254086Hey, those runbacks are good practice for when you have to make that delivery for the weapon upgrade.
>>720254086You aren't playing the game at that point if that were the case, you'd just be sparring against a training dummy until you manage to bring it down through brute force
>>720244287>48 fucking secondslegitimately unacceptable holy shit
>>720248294I only found the secret bench AFTER beating the boss and doing almost a dozen run backs across all of bilewater. But honestly I'm not complaining, if anything I went from mediocre at platforming to feeling like I have it down after all those runbacks. Then again I also spent like an hour and a half aimlessly wandering around The Mist before I thought to play music Unironicly having a blast with this game
>>720243446the frog is worse, especially if you don't find the secret bench
>>720254886That makes no sense
>>720254970>having to play the game for less than a minute is unbearable for zoomersHow did this happen? maybe you should get another screen to watch advertisements while you play so you don't get distracted LMAO
>>720244287Whered you get the dress puff attack from. I'm in act 2 and don't have that
I'm glad I did Phantom instead.Eventually I came back to Last Judge with Double Jump and Harpoon so even if the boss posed a challenge, the runback itself was trivial.
>>720243446Takes 30 seconds and you should be able to beat judge by the 5th attempt
>>720247705it's kids with zero attention span crying about it, not old fucks
>>720255681>5thSkill Issue
>>720255679Where phantom? I didn't cuck myself out of that fight by doing the normie route, right?
>>720255827I assume not but yeah you just go North-East instead.It's a much more annoying route, exploration wise, but you get an easier boss with a less shitty runback - the fight is also just better and you actually get an actual reward for it. Meanwhile your reward for Lost Judge is to be dunked into grey exploitation mines.
>>720243446the only runback I've ran into so far, that I can legit say needed a better shortcut.
>>720254810>>720256049I can't imagine how hard life must be for you retards if a basic 30-second platforming section is too much to handle
>>720249723How old are you?
>>72025641828
>>720255597you can buy it from a merchant on the eastern side of the Underworks
I entered the Citadel from the other route and was entering the Judge's boss room from rightwards to fight her (and died a couple times). I figured that during the runbacks, I'd kill the enemies along the way for a little bit extra coin. after all, my cocoon was easy to get to, right?I entered the bossroom with 2HP left, rushed for the cocoon, and then she fell from the ceiling and landed on me as part of her intro, killing me. 1000 rosaries lost before her boss fight even officially started. I was so hopping mad
>>720254970>>720255520I can't think of a single boss runback in Dark Souls that's anywhere near that long. The only one close to that would be Ornstein and Smough and even that's not 40+ seconds.
>>720243446I attacked the boss from the opposite end so I never had to bother with that runback.
>>720243446>>720244287??? just hold W hello ???
>>720243446It is meant to punish you to teach you not to fail
>>720243446redpill me on crestsonly got beast and reaper so far
>>720258528reaper is all you need
>>720258528Wanderer gives the oldschool pogo, which is nice.It's cool but Reaper is generally just the better allrounder.Architect is when shit gets bonkers.
>>720243446The runback to the sinner's road savepoint is worse.>have to climb all the way to sinners road from a save point in a different area>SR itself is filled with difficult enemies >maggot water that will block your silk use>save point is the middle of the area>save point is paid, but is stuck and wont activate even after you pay for it>way to fix it is behind a hidden wall>you need to cross a mini path of pain to unfuck it>if you fail at any point during this you will have to start the whole thing over from the other areaHonestly fuck that whole area. You cant even sprint through it because the enemies will fuck you over if you get careless. Not doing that till I have a double jump or something.
>>720252549i don't remember it being that bad
>>720258528wanderer gives you super fast attack speed and the most consistent pogo move. would recommend using it when you get it. it's passed the locked door up and to the left of bone bottom. continue left and then down to find the chapel
>>720243446it takes 30 seconds
>>720243446It takes less than a minute. Go back to fall guys
>>720248130where's the secret bench bwo
>>720258075you fucked up son. if you go left after skipping the firs shield dude you could save like 5 seconds.
>>720258760Have you tried not being bad at the game?
can you upgrade other crests besides hunter?(I don't mean slots unlocking )
>>720258760maggots will block your silk use ONCEalso suffered though bilewater with aidsblight until I accidentally cleared it kekalso there's at least 2 save stations in roach citygo down, there's an NPC that gives you the recover bead items.
>>720243446>boss runbacks are badI hate this gay newnigger generation.
>>720260210yes and no, only one crest upgrade has been found, but looks like theres more crest upgrades if you find in the files of the game
>>720243446use the beast crest + nectar tool and the boss dies pretty fast
>>720243446https://www.nexusmods.com/hollowknightsilksong/mods/46
>>720248723You can cheese it just like you could with the delicate flower in Hollow Knight. Kill all the foes between point A and B and avoid benching. Only a few tiny foes will respawn. There's also a speed upgrade in one of the Weaver Dens.
