so what the fuck do i do here? did i do path of pain 2 in cogwork core for nothing at all?
Those fleas are lucky I don't fucking gut them after those shit ass flea carnival minigames.
>>720277852it's about the journey not the destination
>>720277852hmmst wait a minute those lines
STEEL SOUL LORE DROP:>So from the sounds of it by Seer Zi, the City of Iron is a civilization that has successfully Weaponized Void completely. They also have the "Masters" of this society who seem to keep things under a strict totalitarian watch. In Silksong Steel Zi is in Pharloom to pursue what is essentially a servant bug (Unwilling Slave Bug) who has "Touched the Dark" AKA learned how to do stuff with Void, and therefore must be hunted and killed to the end of the earth.>The City of Iron is probably a huge robot void cityWe have our DLC locked in.
Are you locked out of completing the hunter’s journal if you didn’t kill the ghosts before the mist disappears?
>>720277992Hallownest is getting powercrept what the fuck is this nonsense
>>720277992can we have cameo of knight's presence at all? Or something resemblance of his figure to hornet that makes prompt to say she knows that thing before
>>720277992sauce me up, my nigga
>>720277992I really want Team Cheery to set a game in a civilization at their peak
I beat the cursed ending, that was exhilirating.I'm 2/5 endings I think.shame about pic related, I would've probably grinded the speedrun achievements if not for this crap.
>>720277992>Hollow Knight: BLADE DANCE>Lace is the new MC>she infiltrates the city of iron because she's seething at the void now after it killed her mother silk>gameplay entirely based around parrying nextWould you play it brehs?
>>720278045The Pale King was a benevolent ruler. All these other places sound like absolute hellholes for their citizens
The fuck is this place? Is there some hidden region here?
>>720277852you just have to make the pictures line up for each column, idk if you're supposed be copying some pattern elsewhere but it was pretty easy to brute force
I don't play this shit game, I just like the cute small hat bug
oh boy I love doing 10 enemy gauntlets before the boss I have no idea what they do, after doing a bunch of pogoing over spikes and disappearing platformsthanks team cherry, totally love this sands of karak zone!
I need answers bros. I just completed The Red Memory, and talked to everyone in it. 1. Why was dad not there? 2. Did Hornet actually respect the wish of the PK to bring reason to the bugs? 3. How far did the King's final wish spread?
>>720278153>HK is Dark Souls>SS is Bloodborne>3rd game will be Sekiro>4th game will be Elden Ring
So Team Cherry straight up lied to us? It unironically proves SS was harder than they intended.
Difficult Silksong Boss are preventing good saars from finishing the game and learning the Lore, why would Team Cherry do this to us???
The only missable thing before Act 3 is Shakra fight right? Where is she now I can't find her anywhere.
>>720277852>SharpdartIs it any good?
>>720278191cute!
>>720278153>parryslop
>>720278264You can summon her infront of bellheart by hitting the ring in the area where the flees camped at.
>>720278153yeah but i'd really rather have any MC other than lacehonestly i hope TC does a new character as the protagonist of their next game
>>720277852you need to replay HK if you think that was path of painlollmao
>>720278308I finished her quest and she doesn't have any new dialogue. How do I trigger the duel?
Wheres the secret boss in sands?
The moe king is sleeping
>>720278240Lmao theyre autists
>>720278312Zote game next
>>720278153did you forgot that zote still alive? That fucker had a lot of shit to unveil for the next game and he should be the next MC
>>720278153TC will not pander to you lolicons.
>>720278362this man is deceased
>>720278340I dunno, I stumbled upon the duel by accidentally hitting the ring.
>>720277852damn, sad
>>720278376
>>720277852>shitsong
>>720278396Oh wait, I'm hitting the ring IN Bellhart. Oops
>>720278175yes, but you cant get to it through the underworks
>>720277852I just beat these guys on my 3rd try>1 mask left>no silk>no weaponswhy aren't the doors opening?>the last dude starts moving again"at that moment, cell felt the true terror.jpg"absolute terror in my veins, sharingan activated focused on the dude, stayed as far away as possible watching his moves thinking he may get even faster, but thankfully he did notbest fight so far
>>720278376Uh??
>>720278240hollow knight was more enjoyable to play cause the base game wasn't "prepare to die edition".silksong plays better but the amped up requirements mean it's more of a bullet hell + platform/dashing game than a simple metroidvania.the game itself is made well, but they are CLEARLY going for the "we want the masochistic audience" type of balance. I would bet money not a single journalist has beat act 3, or even 2.
>>720278424its ok theyre gay
>>720278205Seriously, anyone else care about the implications of the memory or just me?
>>720277992what steel souls have new content?or is this after credit lore drop
>>720278205>1I'm so mad pretty much everyone important from HK1 got a cameo or representation of some kind aside from Pale King
Okay what's the deal with The Mists?If I wander around long enough I can get to the point where the music gets more intense, but have no idea what I'm actually supposed to be doing here.
>>720278450What tease. Given the location I guess you'll get there trough bellheart or shellwood somehow. Or perhaps Greymoor.
>>720277852Path of pain is in act 3 btw
>>720278196Isn't there only a single big conchfly that aggros off you on the runback? It's like a 20 second jump and dash from the bench.
>>720278565Play YOUR music near the butterflies
>>720278484because people who spent literally every inch of HK since it came out, wants more of challenging content. The only difficult part from HK is path of pain (platforming segment) and colossium trials (gauntlet segment). Which is why TC decided, why not they gave us 10x times more of those along the journey
>>720278563I think he's actually super dead.
Seth is not showing up in any of the places he's supposed to the fucker. I hope it's either a trigger no one knows about that I'll eventually hit or something they'll fix in the upcoming patch.
>>720278340what did she give you, i afraid i will miss something important
>haha lets put spikes in the room and have the enemy fly away if you jump towards him while he spams projectiles100 deaths to whoever designed coral tower
>>720278598how big must his cock be to actually fuck that thing
>>720277992What the fuck
>>720278635skill issue
>>720278635If only you had your own projectiles available...
>>720278635yes I know I have tools, I would ideally like to save them for the fucking boss, when I get through the 50 gauntlets or so.
>>720277992>In Silksong Steel Zi is in Pharloom to pursue what is essentially a servant bug (Unwilling Slave Bug) who has "Touched the Dark" AKA learned how to do stuff with Void, and therefore must be hunted and killed to the end of the earth.Ghost is dead so my bet is Pure Vessel.
>>720278635The Coral Tower fights are some of the most honest fights in the entire game
>>720278635Where is your silkshot
>>720278635it's fairnever forget that you have to do everything on steelsoul afterwards for the real ending
>>720277992>Yeah, sorry guys. We don't know how to make a DLC so we'll just make a new game instead
>>720277852I‘m a bit into act 2 and so far it feels similar to elden ring. A huge map and combat that is pushed to its absolute limit resulting in harder enemies. It‘s not what i hopes for but it‘s not bad either
>>720278690>Ghost is deadlmaooooo
>is the best boss in the entire game in your path
>>720278596I'm so dumb.I fuckin knew they were both important but somehow I never put 2+2 together.
>>720278694yeah the one where the floor is all spikes and you can only get across while using the dash that wastes silk, very fair.
>>720278689clawline or wall jump
>>720278240Why are kids so upset about loosing in vidya games these days?I had plenty of vidya that I couldn't beat even halfway and it was fine. Is this the result of "here's your star for effort" parenting culture? People can't handle failure or being denied what they want?
>>720278576If you've explored all of Greymoor you probably noticed one room that looks suspiciously different.
>>720277852I swear to god I've heard every single mild platforming challenge in this game called Path of Pain 2 at this point
>>720278124First one doesn't sound too bad, after Weaver you just gotta defeat Phantom and you get to skip a lot of bosses that way100% completion is masochism
Just finished off The Unraveled, I saw earlier people saying the boss is shit but I thought it was pretty alright, although is there anywhere you face those beyblade enemies that appear in the boss fight, cause that was the first time I've seen them?
>>720278636She has many small vaginas
>>720278748???? Those werent nearly as bad as the fight in the trial of fools
>>720278635Clawline is your friend against flying shitters. They'll input read your dashes and jumps but a grappling hook is too fast to react.
>>720277852>get cucked by the Twisted Bud glitch earlier>revert my save>make progress>get back the Twisted Bud>didn't realize it cries even when it's NOT selected, whenever you're anywhere in the menu>stuck with this little goddamn fucker until the patch dropsTEAM CHERRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
>>720278760Play the baby bell beast tune needolin in the boss room
>>720278742why does your carmelita look like that?
>>720278753>Why don't other people think the same way I do? This is wrong, and should be changed. Everything should be the sameDamn, you're really struggling with reality.
>>720278753so boomers are okay with never seeing the 2nd half of any game they pay for?
Where's the NUT?
>longclaw is just a measly 10% range increaseare you kidding me
>>720278858>they pay for?You're not entitled to a victory because you paid money though.
>>720278636Somehow mother nature finds a way.
>>720278901above the blue swordmaster camp
>>720278901Ask the butler! He tells you where the stuff you don't have is!
>>720278918let me guess, you're not entitled to a movie without ads because you paid money too?
I probably fucked up by giving my silkshot to Architect but she's cute so I had to let her leave her mark on it as a memento.
>>720278908most of the charms are pretty shit in this oneonly ones that actually felt like they pulled their weight for me were the heal shield and the petrified hornets when you take damage
Lace is fucking me up in the Citadel
>>720278820Not Coral Tower anon but I'm starting to think that's what the bell throwers in the Citadel were trying to teach me, I'm just very stubborn
>>720278760For me it was the goddamn top of his head hitbox and how annoying it is to land hits. I took damage so many times trying to drop in behind after dashing over and barely grazing the back of his hitbox. Fix his hitbox and the fight would be almost trivial.
The fleas are gay as fuck compared to my grub bros
>>720277852just solve the increcibly easy puzzle for literal babies you retard.
>>720278993Congrats I think your the first person to ever die her anon!
sinner first try, bitchesand then I died 6 times to the flying turd in slab
>>720278635Where is that place?
>up towers spinning, near the surgeon spurned closer to High Halls or Whiteward?
>>720278830Aww man I have to go back there? I just went to Far Fields for the lava escape...
>>720278993As always stay close, phase 2 punish windows are mostly about that.
>>720278991honestly i take the range forever since im comfortable with wanderer crest
>>720278760Unravelled is shit because his design looks awful compared to how cool the Whiteward was
kek sperm alien looking aah bitch
>>720278970Holy false equivalence batman. Get good.
>>720278153Lace can fuck right off. Absolute dogshit character with a fun fight and a great theme. I don't want to play as her.
>>720278991skull mask from ant is insane value from start to like 8 masksbell is great as welllongclaw is... okay, I guess. shoulda been 20%hell, in HK you get like 40% if using both range extension accessories
>>720279005Yeah I did notice that with the charge attacks so I was keeping more of my distance on those, I'm glad the projectile attack is predictable at least, I'd hate for there to be combinations in the fight that could go two low, one high.
>>720278991Bro? Your>Pollip Pouch?>Druid's Eye?>Multibinder?>Injector Band?
so why the fuck did this happen at the start of the game anyway?
>cogflyyou didnt beated the game
>>720279134her period
>>720279008Grubs>Give you money (for EVERY grub)>Give you charms>Give you charm slots>Give you upgrade mats>CuteFleas>Gives you NOTHING for most fleas>Bring you to areas you've already been>Give you beer (not free)>Peep on you in the bath>Charges you to say where their friends are even though they want you to rescue them>Gives you an upgrade mat at the very end>Gypsies
>>720279134So you could hear her moan and possibly also a concussion from knocking around inside a cage while falling from a massive height
>>720279134you still had some leftover void cum sloshing around your insides after getting annihilated by the hollow knight back in hallownest
>>720278908then why does it feel like 50% on wanderer
>>720279134to give me an erection
im going through act 3 and just killed Karmelita, wondering how are normies expected to beat this game? she goes nuclear after the second scream.
You now know that there are permadeath-mode only bosseshttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xJstJdZhKDM
>>720279218I've checked in the game files. the animation might be larger visually but the actual effect is only 10%
>>720279284Normies are expected to quit after GM Silk
>>720278858No? You just get good enough to see the second half of a game or accept defeat and move on.I can buy a bicycle because I want to experience fun of riding it, but I still need to learn to ride it myself.
>>720279069Yeah that's fair, I really like the vibes Whiteward as well, it reminds me a lot of Bloodborne and I'm not sure that was just a coincidence considering those wheelchairs you see around the area. What would you have wanted for a boss design anyhow, I do agree it's a bit lacking visually.
>>720278980it's fine, she has a Big Bug Booty
>>720279312And just like a bicycle if your a faggot you can get training wheels (mods) to make it easier
Progress report:>Beat Weaver>Decided to explore a bit more around the areas I've been>Found the Beast, the Reaper and Wanderer crests>Little guy got killed by the Tyrant, during his funeral I jumped into the hole he got thrown to>Found Eva by accident, got Hunter upgrade (still using Reaper)>Decimated a lot of non-important bosses from beast fly to Mother Moss duo etc>Finished most quests I had ATM (more showed up after progressing)>Got my shit kicked in by Last Judge 7 times before nailing it down (did not get caught on the surprise move)>Progressed to the First Sanctuary>Got the Claw>Found the architect and the Ward>Mfw poor as fuck>Just keep doing more missions>Cog Dancers were a cool fight>Found the chef, got quest for the Oil>Got the spear move>Went back to the Flea Caravan>Got spied on>Because I got more fleas they moved to where Last Judge was at>Found the Sands of Karak (by far the worst area I hate it here)>Died a lot hate tight corridors with spikes>Found the Chestnut>Found the bench of the area and the simple keyThat's enough for today, Silksong feels like a huge labyrinth compared to Hollow Knight it's insane how easy it is to get lost or miss something Fun game, wish the bosses were a bit more challenging though, once you figure them out they are too easy to read, hopefully I'm proven wrong later
>>720279321Something weirder, anything really, problem is the boss itself just looks like a white sheet
>the sheer fucking speed that wanderer gives you>several hits into the enemy on every small pause they make>all that silk that can go into healing or spellsholy shit this crest is insane, I have like double the silk compared to reaper
>>720279291Cool. One more reason to install mods.
fucking HOW I must be missing something because I don't see how this is possible, even if I don't get hit I can barely make it up the blasted steps
>>720279437based
>>720279437I will say this unironically.
>>720279454>>720279437Do we even know how they nerfed moorwing and splinter
>>720279437Moorwing was already easy why would they nerf him of all bosses and not beastfly or something?
>>720279418?? Reaper rips when you get it going, you just have to be willing to bind in favour of silk generation vs outright healing.
I got lost in the citadel because I couldn't buy maps without rosary. My smoothbrain didn't understand that the "models of the citadel" were what will give you the map anyway. Finally found a Bellway station and gfto out of there, now exploring Sinner's Road and after that Bilewater. Also stumbled into The Mist. Bad idea overall - hard zones. Took me hours, and the whole ordeal felt kind of empty, since I was most likely not supposed to be there on the first play through since many parts were obviously designed with double-jump or something like that in mind. I did find some fleas though, so....At least I could get some silk-spools that way. Now back in Citadel and it's much more manageable now that I actually got maps.Overall a very frustrating part of the game.
>>720279386I feel like it would've been cool if the boss was a surgeon (or the surgeon) of the Whiteward and was more so based off the scissor enemies you see around the fires in Whiteward, but also had been altering themselves so during the fight parts of their body (arms and face) split open like the patient enemies do, maybe have the boss be able to drain the silk out of the background husks and use that as an attack or something.
>>720279445I can't do that run either, maybe when I get the double jump or the other lance throw thing
okay, im just abusing clawshot since you can spam it infinitely, better to kill the flying fucks rather than diealso the best tool when platforming, just abuse it on any enemy or spike or to get huge distance.
>game gets significantly easier the further along you arewhat a bizarre difficulty curvebarring a few exceptions like bilewater boss I need like one third of the attempts at a fight compared to early bosses
>>720279445do you have double jump? It makes it infinitely easier. My route had like 6 monsters which you can prekill to save you the hassle
>>720279445There's another way. Some anon posted this and this is what I used. Worked like a charm with time to spare
>>720278991fast heal and double heal are pretty good
>>720279445kill mobs beforehand and dont restdont bump yourself on walls while sprintingits that simple, i did it even without the sprint charmi had all the mobility upgrades though
I legitimately hate how many spawns are locked behind quest triggered gating and I believe it has no place in this genre at all.
>go into game to check out something someone mention in a thread>have chakrams equipped>press "challenge" for no reason>hornet slaps chakrams together instead of doing her usual challange animationThis game has so many fun little things on my god.
>>720279490moorwing is so easy to cheese if you use the walls and ceiling
>>720279445easier with dbl jump, you can just go rip through blasted steps chugging flea brew for gigaspeed
>>720278970the ads get in the way of your experience no matter what you do, being able to clear the game is entirely in your own hands
>>720279497reaper is wanderer but worse. worse pogo, slower attack, bonus attack range doesn't really matterthe only benefit of reaper is second tool slot, but wanderer is so op in combat that it doesn't really matter
>>720279291Please tell me you get a couple of free retries. I don't want to alt+f4 every time I'm not completely confident in beating something like this.
is the red spike at the end of cancer gauntlet in coral land is persistent for getting to the boss? I dont see why else it would be there.
What the fuck us with Fay Mountain, I did all that for the double jump and looking back idk what they were thinking. Is that shit required?
>>720279558>shit ton of environmental damage vs a path with literally only one buzzsaw on the waywhoever posted it is a peak retard
>>720279558>sinner's roadthat's harder than taking the normal path
>>720278240They simply didn't notice that it was "too hard". They are so used to the formula after developing the game for years.
>>720279047what did spinning tower mean anon?
>>720279627No but it does make things a bit easier
>>720279558That's a good one, sinners vertical shaft and some jumping on spikes and bells seems to be the hardest parts
>>720279445do you have double jump?I went left and got it comfortably timed on 2nd attempt, despite getting hit oncealso used the silkspeed accessory thing, not sure how much of a difference it made
>>720279627If you want the True ending, of course
>bilewaterglad I pirated, now I'll buy the game, leave negative review and refund
>>720278921spiders teach us so much about females as a whole>species where males are stronger than females: comes up with concepts such as "women and children first">species where females are stronger than males: males are treated as foodthey are unironically evil, on a fundamental level
>>720279445I went left and through blasted lands, use the silk speed boots, and clawline forward over the top of any enemynot getting hit > going a bit slower in spots to be safe, hits waste lots of time.
team cherry is so fucking evil
>>720279489I fought him post patch and the second phase attack with the spinning saws is easier to dodge. Other than that felt the same
>>720279008But they are extremely cute
>>720279291>5 masks>no silk regenerationwhat's happening here?
>>720279185>do a cute "awooooo" if you find themI don't need more of them.
>>720279291>no silk generationthey are insane
>>720279743>haha you want a bench, too bad>the hidden bench is still not beside the boss, and requires a clawline + double jump to not get maggot debuff when you leave10x worse than blighttown ever was, finding the map alone was bad enough.
It's fucked that Widow doesn't have a second fight since it's one of the most fun bosses
>>720279552Hollow knight was the same until post game
>>720279743
>>720279627it's optional but not really, you'll miss out on loads of stuffsingle biggest upgrade in the game, too. game's difficulty is pretty much:>shit's hard yo>get wanderer crest>shit's kinda hard yo>get double jump>lol lmao
>>720279816h-hot...
>>720279552>>720279814Silksong has way more gamebreaking builds than HK
>>720279816this is someone's fetish
>>720279661nta but I assumed it was whiteward initally because it has a surgeon and elevated spinning fans
>>720279836Yea like equiping the wanderers crest and automatically reducing the difficulty by half
So the games telling me to go fuck myself right? Hiding this fucking bench here
>>720279836bullshityou get wanderer crest as big upgrade over hunter, then you get architect which can cheese some fights, then you get double jump / harpoon for mobility and.. that's pretty much it as far as impactful upgrades go in the entire gamearguably the skull thing from ant is also impactful. but that's about it
>>720279661okay, I got it after rethinking surgeon spurned
>>720279643>work your way up greymoor rafters>through sinner’s road>through bilewater>through the mists>beat phantom>two benches are hidden in that pathGod help any anons that went that wayShellwood is chill and blasred steps eats ass plus TLJ is harder but fuck is that still the better option even if it puts you in the underworks instead
>>720279757You don't get silk from void enemies.This boss doesn't look too bad. It literally has the standard void attacks and it darts around a bit is all.
>>720279836Does it? I remember HK having charms that just let you facetank some bosses
>>720278742joseph anderson killed it first time on stream
>>720278459Oh man, had a similar feel before realizing he's just sadly dancing his part and accepting defeat.
>>720279291Man, Silksong is packed with content, it's pretty insane they even dedicated bosses to a mode only like 5% of the players will actually attempt to beat.
just finished the game, next playthrough im gonna have full map on the other monitor and minmaxxing before each next act especially the nail upgrades
>>720279743Maggots "fan-art" incoming.One thing I disliked about Hollow Knight was, that you could only set markers, which were even limited in numbers onto the maps. I would have liked the ability to actually name them or write a small note.>Silksong does the fucking same and has an even bigger map.*sigh*
>>720279887>Our hate is forever.Team Cherry was speaking directly to the player here
What the actual fuck am I supposed to do here? Is this some sort of gay ass puzzle?
>>720279897Poison silkshot architect.
>>720279552I think it not being playtested more really fucked up the difficulty curvepeople who played HK for years won't struggle with the early game because they're already familiar with movement. but if you last played hk 5 years ago, or never? may god have mercy on your soulBut then you put in 15 hours into it and learn all the movement n shit, get some good upgrades like double jump and suddenly act 2 just doesn't have much of the grind that act 1 had
>>720279968Use you're brane.
>>720279921Yes.
>>720279816i look like this
Do I have to get the act 3 upgrade before I can do the rest of Karak?
i beat the 2nd savage bloatfly in two tries. to be fair i came into this fight with forbidden knowledge about harpoon, but still guys this shit isn't that hard
>>720279968it's a square in square hole tier '''puzzle''' i believe in you
>>720279816I'm assuming there's no interaction in this but it'd be neat if Groal had a unique reaction if he swallows Hornet while she's afflicted by maggots, I dunno if such a reaction would be good or bad for Groal (maybe it heals him but clears Hornet of the affliction, or maybe it just deals damage to Groal) but still.
>>720279997It's too smooth and I haven't slept the entire night as I've played this game non stop.
>>720280041nah
Reaper boys, ww@
>>720279925That guy might be a retarded divorced autist but he's stupidly good at games for some reasonProbably the only oneup he has on matthew phimosis
>>720280045>poison spikesYOU *clap* DIDNT *clap* BEAT *clap* THE FLY
>>720280045>le cheese upgradesorry, you didn't beat it
>>720279816Why can't Silksong just pick the maggots off?
Does taking damage on courier missions for settlements lower my score or make things worse for them or anything? I keep resetting every time I lose a notch.
>>720280056That doesn't happen, but you can throw bombs in his mouth and it'll stun him while it explodes.
>>720279996>not being playtested moreI seriously doubt the game was playtested at all and if it was then it was probably a bunch of fanboys who were just happy to play the game and told the devs everything was perfect
>>720280045savage fly 1 is tough because you have dick allsavage fly 2 is a bitch unless you do it really early. either harpoon or double jump trivializes itlava platforms don't even disappear on their own
>>720280096Used reaper for 90% of the game and I still cant tell if its OP or shit
>>720280096omw to beat act 2
>>720280124Nice, I should've realized he was a Dodongo at heart, I'll give that a try next time I face that boss
So people actually like the wanderer crest?Beast was useless. Wanderer felt "eeeh" to me. Hunter is fine overall. Reaper is fun, and I enjoy using it for exploring, because the downward attack is useful, but it's weaker in boss-fights compared to hunter.Didn't get the other crests yet.
>>720280051Ah, I figured it out now. I was trying to match each pillar with each other rather than what you are supposed to be doing.
>>720280096i literally couldn't beat last judge for hours on reaper until i switched to wanderer and got it first trythe lag matters when every boss is a reaction speed tester
>>720279996>>720280127>NOOOOO IT'S TOO... LE HARD!genuinely git gud, you're absolute shitters.
>>720280045Hold on, the grapple hook to enemies gives you i-frames? That‘s busted
>>720280041you can still go up there but it's hard
>>720279925>>720280101i beat it first try too its not hard, its one of the only bosses in the game that doesnt do 2 damage with everything
>>720280104>>720280105a win's a win
>>720280194I don't see how I can get up there
>>720280184yes
So where does the huge bug who asks you for meat for her brood go in act 3
>>720280045>no pogos whatsoever until boss is stationaryhuntercucks are so fucking lost
>>720280229Anon...
>>7202801274 people playtested it.The two lead devs themselves and their equally good friends.
>>720280101he's mainly good at 2d platform games, don't watch him play mario odyssey or something
>>720280180I‘m doing just fine but i also beat every boss in hollow knight on radiance and did all pantheons with bindings. This game was not playtested by regular players
>>7202781752 extra areas Connect to underworks
>>720280250+3 damage
>>720280293>This game was not playtested by regular players.And why should it be? I don't want some baby shit.
>>720280223go down, grow a tree, climb the tree, be fast
>>720280106She secretly loves how they vibrate on her body
>>720279291What are the chances of there being a secret boss and ending hidden behind 100% steel soul completion? Or maybe the game has been datamined already
>>720280162The fast hit speed on wanderer makes for fast silk regen and more heals or skill usage
>>720280096I'm in Act 3 did all the mandatory fights and now I'm just combing around for optional bosses, missing items, etc. Every fight so far except Karmelita has been pretty reasonable.
>>720280127more games should be made this way
>steel soul>not steel silkMissed opportunity
SHAMAN GODS > ARCHITECT CHADS > BEAST BROS >>> HUNTER NORMOIDS >>> WANDERER SISSIES >>>>> REAPER TROONSYour response?
>>720280276That makes sense. Hollow knight also launched without the compass charm iirc so masochistic design is just their thing i guess. Going to be interesting how they approach patches
>>720280293>beat every boss in hollow knight on radiance and did all pantheons with bindingsYour intended to do this before playing SilksongLike actually I thinkI did it too and all the stuff I thought was a good challenge to maintain a mix of fun/difficulty was apparently bullshit to normalfag players, I have NO idea why team cherry said this game would be 'good for beginners'
>>720280371didn't beat the game tierlist
>>720280252W-what? I thought all the meat would save her....
>>720280378Reminder that the main inspirations for Hollow Knight weren't Super Metroid and SotN.But Faxanadu and Zelda 2. Silksong is the modern day equivalent of a CBT NES game.
>>720280335Do all crests give the same silk on hit? That seems like an oversight
>>720280371If this game had a PVP mode then Beast wouodnalmost always win.
>>720280371wheres witch nigger>shamannice cheese crest
>>720280371>no witch kings
>>720278829just switch to the beta branch dummy
>>720280371shaman is good? i havent use it yet
>>720280371Where's Witch?
>>720280162People are afraid of change and choose the closest thing to what they're familiar with, doesn't help that Wanderer has 3x crit thingie, cementing it's place in these stagnant people's heart.
>>720280371Uhhh bro? Your Witch????
>>720280368It was called silk soul originally...
>>720280368Its still dealing with the void
>>720280450It is funI am link master sword
>>720280450its charge attack has absurd range so you can just spam it and never actually engage enemies
How is not having the compass charm different from just reading a regular map in real life
what did the map lady duel drop, i missed the fight, i hope its not something important
>>720280385It‘s pretty funny. I went into silksong worried that the game would be too easy since i did everything in hollow knight but now i‘m wondering how the hell absolute beginners are coping
>beat Moorwing in 2 tries>apparently people are getting their asses handed to them so hard by it that it got nerfedis everyone just DSP now or is it the influx of FOMO zoomers
>cheesed the first sinner boss fighti feel regret because it was actually kino as fuck
>>720280096I didn't buy Silksong to play Hollow Knight, i'm still a Hunter beast chad
>>720280371BEAST SUCKS FOR PLATFORMING, WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT ITS PERFORMANCE IN BATTLE WHEN YOU CANT FUCKING HOP WITH THAT SHIT
>first sinner bossholy KINO. I can't believe some of you are saying that HK had better boss fights
>>720280487Regular maps have landmarks and topography everywhere, 90% of hollow knights maps are featureless rectangles
>>720277852You know I'm not sure that there is a real way to solve this. I just matched up 2 and then assumed as long as long slots per cylinder matched the rest would, but it would've been real easy for the developers to be very mean and make multiple matching slots that don't line up to the full thing. Like how you add loops in a maze to destroy people. But I haven't seen any real way you're meant to deduct any real solution apart from that. 5 faces per turn with 4 slots and 4 cylinders is a little large for that sort of baby non-puzzle if so.
>>720280443Other platforms exist beside PC, dummy.
>HONEST CRESTSWandererBeastHunter>DISHONEST CRESTSArchitectShamanWitch>SHITTER CRESTSReaper
>Having to fetch pearls and the likes like a dog (make sure you use the magnet mod)>backtracking as bas as in HK>25 god damn spine cores, this should be 10 maximum>hit button using the same finger as jump (should be on a trigger/shoulder instead)Game's as outdated as a retro game but I guess the audience who hasn't caught up with modern standards is still big enough.
>>720280545In general yeah though it's not by a huge margin, and Silksong is at disadvantage from the lack of DLC
>>720280573Nobody cares
>>720280516I put on speed ankles and went fast, it was so fun
>>720280616I accept your concession.
>>720277992>tfw we’ll get fifth chorus boss battle
how long did it take you guys to figure out the mist, took me like an hour I think, I really wasn't thinking at all.
Cursed Grandma fucking SUCKS, she’s easy but the fight just goes on forever and I eventually die to attrition. Maybe I should’ve just gotten 9 masks before this, if I even could.
and i'm donei enjoyed it
>>720278484It's not a bullet hell because bullet hells require large amounts of designer intent and care to pull off. Most of the bosses in Silksong have roughly the same 3-4 move moveset. I'm a decent way into act 2 and half the bosses are STILL>a charge across the bottom of the screen>some projectile thingy>a jump attack so you can't dodge everything by jumping>and some add or whatever that covers space and makes it hard to concentrate on the boss There's barely anything even on the level of NKG and I consider him to be a pretty basic boss.
>>720280607Hunter is the only honest quest. If you played with an easier pogo you did not beat the game
>>720278153>LaceNo.
>>720280648Like 10 minutesBut I was a serial dreamnailer back in HK
So far the ant gauntlet is kicking my ass harder than any boss
>>720280648I ran around for an hour, then left assuming I needed an item or hint elsewhere, returned 10 hours later and did the same, then finally came back and figured it out in act 3I feel I was robbed of the phantom fight and parry by my own retardation
>>720280648My brother walked by and just told me what to do because I had completely forgotten I had the thing.
Name my band
>>720280665Beast has a harder pogo thoughbeit
Is this the biggest metroidvania ever? What even comes close?I just beat Act 1, walked into here and I’m just wow’d. Huge fucking area.
>>720280736>Is this the biggest metroidvania everno>What even comes closea lot of things
>>720280648In 5 minutes, after realizing its a loop. I kept an eye on small butterflies throughout the game, because of the intro movie, Lace controlling them through music and generally being everywhere.
>>720280648my brother was watching me play and figured it out in a couple minutes
>>720280736Afterimage beats it but for all the wrong reasons
>>720280765name 3 gamesi'm not joking i want some recs
>>720280765Name them because no Castlevania or Metroid matches this and the former were the biggest.
>throws darts sideways in a corridor barely tall enough for a short jump
>>720280736It's pretty fucking big.I'm sure there's some doujin kaizo whatever hack of SOTN that's technically 50 bajillion square meters but it's all the same pool of tiles and enemies, in terms of sheer encounter and environment variety Silksong might be the biggest, more important than traversal time any day.
>>720280765I've never played one as big, pls advise
>>720280765name them
I tried Ender Lilies and it made me realise how much all the small stuff in Silksong adds to the game
>>720280608>Literal magnet charm in-game>Burned out dopamine receptors can't handle walking around>Brainlessly kills the enemy instead of hitting it once to trigger and collect its spikes>Brainrotted by dark souls so much he doesn't rest the jump button on his thumb joint and attack on the thumb tipYour newfag is showing
>take a perilous path that requires skill and impeccable timing>reward is some strung up rosaries>hitting them will make half of them roll onto the floor, through your characters model and into spikes making them disappearone of my big complaints
>>720280807Go under.For me it's the little rosary tossing cunts.
Silksong genuinely feels AAA-tier even more than The Lost Crown.I guess that's what happens when you have 7 years and millions of dollars.
>>720279925Literally who
>>720279925i killed it second try, it just goes to show you can be the best boss in the game without being a massive pain in the dick to kill
hey so ummm where's the last pale oil???
>>720280857Your cocksucker is showing.
>>720280807Fuck swampniggers I wish there was a way to burn that whole shithole down with these fuckers still in it
>>720280514People are bitching about a 30 second runback to Last Judge. DSP mentality is predominant.
>>720280887I accept your concession
>>720280854>Ender LiliesBoring trash. Refunded after an hour
>>720280854Silksong has just so many of that its unrealI think its actually unfair toncompare those sort of qualities to other games in the genre
>>720280875collect all the fleas
>>720280903motherfuckers don't even know the real bullshit runbacks in this gameand i am NOT talking about the meme bilewater runback
How?
>>720280875all fleas
>>720280875Flea quest, have to be technically postgame Act 3.
>>720280798Afterimage is huge
>>720280736It's bug sized
>>720280648around half an hour I think, including runback time after I get french kissed to death.At first I thought it's follow the white bugs trail and enter the closest exit at the end, then I thought the number of bugs means something, then after accidentally reaching the halfway point I saw the bugs are moving and try Needolin on the next screen.
>>720280608Niggerfaggot spine cores are the fastes to collect item in the game. I know your retarded monkey brain didn't realize you have to hit the spines that stick to the walls and ground and not just kill the enemy.>thing is outdated because umm... it's um...fucking moron
>>720280887seethe, chang
>>720280798>>720280804La-Mulana (kino) (also La-Mulana 2 (slightly less kino))Rain World (pretty good)Afterimage (meh but the map IS fuck huge)
>>720280934Anon I'm not going to be mean but you can see the path right there.
I raised the platform, fell down and now I can't reach either. did I softlock myself?
>>720280923>>720280935>>720280942I got them all>act 3uhh fuck how do I know if I unlocked it?

>>720281001It's postgame. You'll know.
I never want to pogo again, bossthe fight itself is fine but HOLY SHIT WHY DOES HE HAVE SO MUCH HP
>>720280648i got the butterfly part down pretty quick but when i entered the next area most of the time i had a ghost standing right at the entrance, impassable, and i didnt know you could even kill them cos they didnt recoil or any shit from getting hitso i just kept resetting and making no progress kek
>>720279743Fuck this place in particular. What a horrible fucking retard zone and getting maggoted means you lost fucking 10 spools of silk fuck you!
>Wormways gets overrun by LifebloodWHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK????
>>720281040i don't know if we should call it postgame if it's like a quarter of the game at least
>>720280960Slurp, slurp, slurp.
If the Shakra fight doesn't have an orchestra/boss version of the song she's singing I'll be disappointed
>>720280984nigga just walljump off of the spike platform
>>720281096It starts after the game ends so it is post game :-)
>>720281092>hehe let me just inject it everywhere for science and shit!
>>720281150>gives you his sack as a quest rewardwhat a sick fuck
>>720280648Around 20-30 minutes, the first 10 were spent dying and figuring out the area. The other 20 were spent figuring out how the fireflies worked.>>720280656>Not 112%Lmao, nice "completion" fag.
>>720281096Postcredits, at least. Idk being more specific sounds like a spoiler, I think postgame is a good indicator that if you've got them all, you've got them all continue to play.I wish the Fleamaster gave a better hint on where that postgame flea is, brings it up once and it's a pretty fucking vague description, multiple areas are "mucky" and she's just chilling right around the corner anyway.
>>720281026>ESAWhats that one?
what crime did she commit?
>>720281254Looking like sex
>>720281203That hint is absolute horseshit because the way to get there is exactly what you wouldn't want to do. Which is very fucking kino for a secret but kind of annoying for a place an npc talks about and just says "eeeeeh it's around here lololol"
>>720281254being so good of a boss that all the others in the game seems like shit
Holy shit I died so many times against the final boss
>>720281254apostasy, moron. did you not read her cell?she was the first weaver, and the first weaver to rebel against gran-gran.
>>720281254realized that religion is a lie to literally control the masses
>>720281059>crust king>not coral kingthat guy got the short end of the stick even with his name
>>720281150>Can't tell him about the fate of his researcher if you manage to find the bodyWell, that was kinda pointless.
>>720281254it literally tells you it's apostasy when you examine the prison
>>720280096I used a locket on every slot so I have to use it now
>>720281254For daring to think mindraping everyone wasn't a good thing to do.
>>720281315What do lockets do
>>720281106ching chong
GUYSdo the characters talk japanese or is it just me?lace and phantom keep saying shit in japanese from what i understand
>>720281059Im sure you are supposed to fully upgrade the nail for these fights. The other act 3 bosses without them are just way too long for how easy they are
conductor's melody and the beastfly fights are the biggest load of horse shit. actually ruined the game for me.
>>720281274Found it without the hint, or even knowing that he wanted another flea in the first place, you should have had experience with barnacles taking you secret places in Half-life
>>720281359I swear the Seamstress speaks French.
>>720281359You are just a weeb, it's uncurbable I'm afraid
>>720280798Please play lone fungus, no one knows the game and it has 10/10 movement mechanics, unlocks and bosses
My silk meter suddenly shrunk. I lost my silk upgrades for some reason. What the fuck happened?
>>720281359Japanese voice actress
>>720281359No, they don't speak actual words. They do take inspiration from different languages. Shakra is slavic, Phantom is Japanese, Sherma is French and I think the ladybug game master is spanish.
>>720281359both VAs are japanese women so even if they're not using real words, their vocalisation habits come through
>thiefs mark charm indentifies you to fellow thieveshas anyone checked if theres a special interaction with the rooms where you encounter thieving little bastard npcs that suck your rosaries?i cant remember any of the locations i fought them
Lace and Hornet are voiced by japsHornet in the first reveal trailer originally counted in japanese when she hit consecutive clawlines
>>720281406You died
>>720281406>My silk meter suddenly shrunk.many such cases with men after 30
>>720281337unlock charm slots
>>720281359You're not crazy, there's definitely some real words and phrases hidden in the gibberish. Bilewater fuckers and the thieves straight up speak English. Heavily slurred but definitely there. There's some JP and French hidden in other places.
>>720281359lace has a japanese voice actress
>>720281359yes the devs are full on weebs and even love shit like frierennot unexpected and may as well be canon phantom does say 消えろ
>>720281448I'm most of the way through act 2 and I never even noticed that it resets to the beginning when dying.
>>720281359I noticed it too
>>720280648Almost instantly What took me a while was figuring out you could just jump attack the wraiths when they howl and dash and just loop thatPreviously I just ran like hell
Jesus fuck the second lace fight is annoyig
>>720281359I just keep hearing desu while fighting lace
>>720281359All I hear is Hornet calling everyone her "husband". She says this to women too. Confusing.
>>720281493Yeah I didn't notice until quite late, it was the same in the first game but the UI had a special animation that made it more obvious
>>720281516I thought it was pretty good. Wait till you get to the Slab boss if you thought that was annoying
>>720281305CRUSTY CRAB
>>720281348Ah, you're a Chinese cocksucker. Rare combo.
>>720281454Holy shit so you can equip both the magnet and the compass?
>>720281456>Chapel lady in the intro is literally saying "Hello" and "Come on" when waking up hornet>Filthy Bilewater needle fucks whispering "Shinderu" when stalking you>The flying bell head in Deep Docks literally goes "Oi" like a british police officer, matching his portly appearancethere's probably more, but it's very clear that TC don't really care about making the language feel alien. They just let the VAs do whatever fits the vibe of the characters they're supposed to play.
Does anyone know what triggers Eva's upgrades? Is it just crests acquired?
>>720281565She moves so fast and upredictably that it pisses me off.
>>720281587>no u
>>720281623Using Memory charms
>>720281623Crests acquired and memory lockets used is all I've heard works.
>>720281615Vibe based kino
>>720281590indeed. You also get permanent, crest agnostic slots later in the game for an extra 2
>>720281623i think silk skill count too, maybe memory unlocker?
What is the best area theme and why is it Lost Verdania
>>720281310you do if you find the researcher before him
>Architect crest with buff toolsHow is this balanced?
>>720281615Thieves, the little round cunts, have the longest phrases, straight up "Gimme yo stuff" and "I want that".It doesn't matter, it's not like HK has a conlang, random sounds with the occasional real word thrown in is fine. Cute easter eggs.
Is the shakra fight missable? She's not where she's supposed to be
>>720281635it's a dance. try to be patient. I got baited a lot into the parrys when i was too aggressive. after I slowed down the fight was a lot more manageable
>>720281717That's retarded.
>>720278742it's just amped up Widow moveset, Karmelita was way better
>>720281729Pogo is slightly not good oh no :(
>>720281735I heard yes if you go from Act 2 to 3
>>720281746I fucking hate these rythm based bosses. I'm just gonna magdump her with poison cogflies and silkshot.
Is it possible to get locked out of act3?
just got to act 2how much more of the game i have left?
>>720281789well fuck me then
>>720281789how do you trigger it?
>>720281832you are at max 1/3 of the way there
>>720281832You're like 30% through maybe.
>Verdania is the only area I liked visually>Cannot enter again
>>720281812No you can reload your save and go back if you beat the boss without unlocking it
>literally hides one of the best bosses in the game behind an obscure secret ceiling??¿¿??¿¿
>>720281853I heard you have to call her in bellhart and talk to her but I missed it too and I'm pretty bummed about it
>>720278742one of the few bosses where i wouldn't mind if they gave it some extra hpit's really fun but it's over too quickly
is phantom the hardest boss?aside from true ending boss
>>720281368do I really have to find all the fleas though
>>720281884which one?
>>720281884It's a reward for being a cool person who explores and pay attention
>>720281920lol no, not even close
>parrying (clash) resets your attack cooldown>so you can parry even flurry attacks by mashing your own attackThis is very satisfying. And with Hornet's attacks seemingly having longer active frames than Knight's, that makes the game more parry-friendly in general. Plus the whole parry silk art.Same applies to projectiles, so you can deflect multiple in a row, like those poison darts in Bilewater. They throw two, and you time your attack to deflect the first dart, you can also deflect the second, if you just double tap.
>>720281729Bankruptcy
>>720281790I don't think poison stacks, might be best to stagger the flies. They definitely want you to shit out spells, though. The auto-regen on the first couple of pips so you get a spell access at 5 silk pips but healing requires a full stack is 100% intentional for you to not get hit and piss damage as a reward, spells are so good in Silksong.
>>720281884>ceiling you have to stand on the edge of a chest to jump ontoAbsolutely fucking hilarious I don't know what pushed me to even try jumping there
>>720281968Except trashmobs just bodyslam with their flurry you so parrying doesn't matter most of the time
>>720281968>boss walks into you while attackingwhat now?
Alright, I think I'm ready to move on to Act 2. I've visited >Moss Grotto>Weavenest Atla>Wormways>Marrow>Deep Docks>Hunter's March>Far Fields>Greymoor>Sinner's Road>Bilewater (missing the map)>Grand Bellway (missing the map connecting to it)>Bellhart>Shellwood>The SlabAnd>Blasted StepsI also got the map for the Choral ChambersIs there anything I'm missing or anything important I should do before I move on to The Citadel? I'm currently just chilling with Sherma in the steps. I've done basically every quest that I could find in both towns and around, my current flea count is half+1.
>>720281990I have no idea how much damage poison even does
>>720281968parry makes the game easierthe clash oneyou didnt beated the game if you used it
>>720281874>>720281880damn...
>>720281932You don't need all of them but at least the game marks them on the map. I beat all act 3 with only 2 upgrades though it isn't that bad, try to get at least 3
>>720282029>he didn't do The Mist
Is there something I'm missing on the surface?
>>720281990The Weavelight (fast regen plus extra regen pip) seems crazy strong. If you use Silkstorm you recover your first pip before the animation even ends. But apparently the game is easy enough to beat in an hour and a half anyways so it kind of feels pointless.
>>720281884That makes it more kino
Does this game has any missables or timed quests? Is it possible to brick yourself?
>>720282002>>720282007Yea, it still doesn't prevent contact damage, if you come into contact with their hitbox.
6 hours later and I still haven't found the last craftmetal for 100% completion, nice
>>720281920Your post made me realize the game doesn't have any hard bossesI can't think of a clear "hardest boss" right nowYet reddit complains it's too hard. Curious
>>720281990>>720281790Lmao get rekt
>>720282093A memento, the bugs you kill for the journal and it's a quest location later
>>720282114Yes, yes, Yes
I completely missed this area, do I need double jump to reach these unfilled areas? I think I've gone everywhere I can reach, I was kind of disappointed with the big reward being an ingredient for the chef quest.
>>720282091The Mist is kinda sequence-breaking in the current state of the game, isn't it? Seems like the game logic doesn't properly account for the player going that route before opening the gate.
>>720282114You can miss a couple bosses so far
>>720282114Yup but only for bestiary and other minor shit like lore. Still awful game design
>>720282126all bosses are easy they all have 3-4 attacks at mostim just curious on whats the hardest or coolest for anons
>>720278153I would rather play as Quirrel, but since he is fucking dead...
>>720282126Black Lace is hardest to me, but only by a littleNothing was really gigafuck hard
>>720281703How do you even get to Verdania?
I know this is gonna sound like i‘m just a shitter but i really feel like the game would be better if there was no contact damage. You can‘t play nearly as aggressive as you should because enemies constantly dash forward and backwards which damages you even when they‘re not attacking
>>720282164It's important for the last act also. And I think you do need the double jump but you can attempt the climb. You just have to trigger the root at the bottom
>>720282091Silly Anon, the Mist takes you to the Grand BellwayI also don't think there is anything in that area besides the connection to the Bellway>>720282170Yeah, I don't know about that. I just alt+f4'd the moment the game said Act 2.
>>720282041About 12 damage, 2 per tick. Worth about a +2 needle hit. So whatever for Act 3 bosses but pretty fucking goated through all Act 1/2.
>>720282170they wouldn't have made it lead directly to the fast travel room in the citadel if it wasn't an intentional pathis the last judge thing even still an issue after the recent patch?
>>720282221atleast no 2 mask contact damage, that is just pure bs especially when bosses have adds
>>720282183>bestiaryhuh????????
>>720282126Only the 2nd savage beastfly If you fight it early because it's awfully designed and unfair. Other than that karmelita slightly and then the final boss which is isshin levels of difficulty
>>720282201hes not dead hes not dead fuck you he just laid down his needle to settle down and get bug married and have bug babies thats all
>>720282170It becomes very weird if you go to the gate from the citadel so yeahSEVEN YEARS
>>720282221Contact damage is fine for balance and spacing reasons but it should not do 2 damage ever specially since some bosses randomly pop beneath you
>>720280959Unintuitive, what is a core ?
>>720280959you mispelled fastest
Is this like a real instrument or just a piece of metal?
>There are Steel Soul exclusive bossesWhat the fuck man
>>720282197most fun boss: first sinnerhardest boss: i dunno probably savage beastfly 2 i think i died to him the most of anyone so far
>>720282389Wierd chime thing. Probably used to tune an instrument.
Should I do anything before getting this last one? I'm assuming it's the end of act 2
>>720282315>balance and spacing reasonsThen increase the frequency of enemy attacks. It‘s not like you have easy i-frames so you have to constantly move anyway
>>720282389I think Japan has a traditional instrument like that (probably wooden though), could be wrong
>>720279445Just go through Wisp Thicket
>>720280614>In general yeahGrimm and no one else doesn't count as better boss fights plural btw.
>>720282429Nah point of no return is way way later don't worry
>>720282401It's so fucked up but so funny. What the fuck do you mean there are new bosses in the permadeath mode. Die to new boss you have never seen 20 hours in and have to restart all over again and you can't rush because risking it and dying is also a reset.Funniest shit I've ever heard.
>>720282467You're probably thinking of these; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geMtxlrT3PQ
>>720282513cool
ill bet they made the game really hard cause one reviewer said HK was too casual and they took offense
>>720282429End of Act 2 probably isn't for a long while, getting Act 3 requires 100% all sidequests and shit, one of which requires all Shakra maps. You gotta go up the elevator for final bosses.>what should I doBuy everything because grinding in Act 3 is a fucking nightmare.
>>720282126Does the first game even have hard boss outside of Godhome stuff?
>>720282540>3 Australians they probably did it just to fuck with people because they think it's funny
>Sister of the VoidYou think you're clever huh
>>720282126I'm pretty sure normies just think a boss is too hard if they can't beat it first try. I'm a shitter and at worst have died to some bosses maybe 10 times and still think they're all fair, just the right amount of challenging
>>720282540It's hard because they've spent the last 7 years tuning Godhome.>>720282567White Defender. When the bosses get fast enough that you need to keep fall speed in mind for their next attack string I think you can call it hard in good faith.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyotQ-vBrDgongbal even destroyed silksong when everyone cries its too hardgoated
>>720282567Nothing to the level this one has other than Nightmare Grimm who was DLC, most of the Radiant bosses in Godhome are harder than these ones though
this game will be a gold mine for streamer rage clips.
>>720282227That was a fun climb, but I died before reaching any kind of bench. Assuming this game's endings works like Hollow Knight's and I can do the bad ending before cleaning up extra objectives to get the better(?) endings, is there stuff I should avoid doing to make sure I can get the bad ending?
how do I get the journal entry for the water maggots and sandworms?
>>720282389It's a bell tongue. He is a little bell.
>Add tools>Bloat HP to mitigate the effect of toolsWhat is this Aussie economy
>>720282642>korean tas robot not a real player
>>720282663Only way I figured was throwing bombs at them.
>>720282690proof
>>720282690silksong doesnt have any tas yet ongbal is the real dealcan no hit style on any hard game
>>720282663Pipebomb.
>>720282725https://youtu.be/ugt0ezchtXA
>>720282684Game feels pretty good once you're on the last Nail upgrade, but unfortunately that comes with the melanin injected enemies that feel infinitely worse than anything else.
I'm doing okay with the bosses but I can't seem to wrap my head around the more complex platforming in this game. I can't be accurate or fast enough with all the actions required. I don't know why my brain's broken like this, I used to be better at platformers. Looking at other playthroughs and seeing what's required to do the rest of the game is making me lose hope completely.
How the fuck do i get this fleai tried from underworksi tried from wisp thicketWHERE IS IT
>>720282710>>720282727thx
>>720282540it was me i said that in my steam review
High Halls arena is filtering me
what advice to get through the coral house slaughter house?
Isn't normal ending the best ending for the resident of Pharloom itself?>No more silkcontrol>No act 3 victims from Hornet and void
>>720282721he has no proofongbal has many haters but he is the best and best always get hated
I got the parry and that shit is fucking busted, is there any reason to use other silk skill?
>>720282850Hornet literally silk controls them and becomes the new queen
>>720282241I'm not saying the path is not intentional. Given the game's non-linear nature, I'm sure the devs intended it to be an alternative route inside. I just mean that somewhere along the way, the proper programming for the main quest progression for that path got lost.
>>720282661just pick "bind" when you kill the final boss. if there's no choice, that means you didn't get the good ending requirements yet so you're forced into the bad ending.if you pick the other option, it permanently locks you out of the bad ending.
>>720282789The later platforming is genuinely easier than the earliest platforming. Nothing in the entire game compares to trying to pogo only some of the early shit with hunter not even stuff like the Surface climb.
>>720282645Can I be a contrarian and say Nightmare Grimm is not that hard.He's not much faster than regular Grimm and his lava tower has a massive punish window.Worst thing about Grimm is his stupid pincushion attack. Scripted to do it 3 times a fight, sitting on your ass playing hopscotch for 20 seconds because he's literally invulnerable during it, shit move. "Do you remember you can short hope" yes I remember this isn't difficult let me play the game now. Also the hard damage cap on his stagger is gay. No other boss in any of these games has an ultimate you straight up can't punish.
>>720282894But she is not insane like granny Silk
>>720282831best crest is pretty good for itthe last part can be cheesed by wall clinging, they can't hit you in the corners and you can tool spam or chip them down slowly
>>720282873Boss can move out and it can leave you in disadvantageous position in the end.
>>720282813Underworks. There's a connection to it at the top of the tower over the lake with the double wisp spawners.
>>720282847other than being patient and learning enemy movesets, since it isn't that hard, spam tools they recharge for free on dreams
>>720282813i think it was a breakable ceiling to the left of you in that little building section in the long room
>>720281884>>720281962>>720281991>>720282109what boss
>>720280371beastcucks are objectively master racethere is no explanation for why you'd run this dogshit meme outside of just styling on everybody else that use normal crests
>Styx says Hornet's age is reekingIs Hornet a Lolibaba
>>720278036Yeah, the Wraiths only appear in the Mist, when the mist disappears if you didn't kill them, you're locked out of completing the journal.
>>720282813underworks
>>720283019>he didn't played hollow knight 1
>>720282029theres no reason to hold off on acts.
>>720282873The last one you get is pretty good too, but yeah it's hard to justify the others compared to those two.
>>720282914Thanks.
>>720283020Shit. How many do you need to kill? They're normally good at not making this possible aren't they
I wish I could disable the fucking wings. Going back to do the secret Far Fields platforming challenge from under the bellway is a lot harder with them.
What charm am I missing? it's the last charm I need to have all of them
>>720278036there are a bunch of missable journal entries i wouldn't bother unless you are really dedicated
>>720283020actually I never killed them since I though you couldn't and I have the entry unlocked. Don't know If it's the same with verdania enemies
>>720283040no shit nigga, i'm standing right above it in underworks
>>720283020Wait, does the Mist disappear once you beat Phantom? Fuck.
>>7202822722nd Savage beastfly became an instant joke the moment I switched to the default silk skill to oneshot the stupid extras.
>>720283082the op as fuck dice from the gambler dude>>720283106
>>720283081if you hold down you dont double jump and immediately glideuse it before they patch it out, it's already gone in the beta. you can use it to cheese some platforming sections since you can double jump AFTER gliding this way.
>>720282917you say that but I was only able to do the Mt. Fey climb with the custom spawnpoint mod and even then I really struggled. And even with the double jump it seems I'm just really clumsy moving around the environments.
>>720283012First sinner in the Slab
Is there any way to cheese the gauntlet fight that ends with 2 big hammer guys?I seriously don't think it's possible to do it legit because of their wide swings and cramped space with 2 of them at the same time.
>>720283098it is, i know i didn't kill enough enemies to get all their journals filled out there and i have full completion of the area.
>all the Lacenet faggots jumping ship only because Lace is basically a lolibabaLol
>>720283080I think I killed like 6? I only killed them because the bitches were right at the start or close to too in the way, they're not hard to kill though, their only attack just lounges at you and you can just jump and downwards attack, I also spammed tools.
>>720282680Ohhhhhhhh
>>720283215unironically just lock infocus on dodging using the walls if necessary and wait for them to stack, then you can engage
>>720283215well, bring your tools for one. Thats the point of them.And yeah, the only dangerous move is the jump and the big explosion, just keep poking and backing off, get them both on the same side of you.
>>720283218Why did Silk teach her the retarded speechHonestly I wanna pull my hair out whenever Hornet or NPC speak the fake ass middle age speech
>>720283081>>720283173That's dumb that they would patch it out
Where is steel soul jinn?
>>720283349>Honestly I wanna pull my hair out whenever Hornet or NPC speak the fake ass middle age speechI'm annoyed by it too
>>720283353it might be able to break progression or something, at least that's my best guess why they are getting rid of it.
>Food "breaks" if I fast travel>Supplies tooWhat the fuck is this logic
if you think about it hard enough the true ending is basically yuri
>>720283020Oh, thank GOD I killed them.Are there any other enemies I should max out their kill count the moment I see them?
is the railgun act 3 only?he doesn't react to the ruined weapon
>>720283470It's not him, it's a table next to one of the benches
>>720283426the logic is that it's supposed to be a challenge, given that sk is a video game
>>720283470I am so salty I missed out on this because I repaired the silk launcher as soon as I saw it as a shop option
>>720283215>Is there any way to cheese the gauntlet fight that ends with 2 big hammer guys?it's the one place in the game where wanderer crest isn't optimal because you don't get 2 tool slotsthe moment you see them spawning throw a bunch of tacks on the ground, then bombs once he spawns. should kill him outright or put him really low
HELPthere was a table thats used to craft an explosive weapon for 1 craftmetal, but i forgot where it is, does anyone know?i just searched all of the lower area of deep docks
>>720283470it's right under where bird is
clawline + float + clawline x100 is so useful, you can do more than 1 so you get tons of forward movement.
>>720283019As far as we know there's 4 major time periods in Hollow Knight.>pre-Pale King Ascension A lot of truly ancient stuff, wyrms, abyssal voids, proto-and-psuedo civilizations have been around. >Hollownest Dawn AgeDreamers are running stuff, Pale King is getting groovy, moths being blasphemous, all nice until Radiance emerges.>Hollownest Glory AgeRadiance is sealed via Dreamers and Pale King basically jerking off into the void for a very long time, Hollownest continues for so long that it claims itself to be the first civilization and people generally believe it.>Hollownest Decrepit AgeRadiance unseals herself because Hollow Knight can't stop thinking about how much he loves the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, things go bad. It has been so long since the Glory Age that people have forgotten what most of what Hollownest is and only mercenaries and treasure hunters know about it.>Hollownest to Hornet's Pharloom Funtime AdventureLong enough for Hornet's equipment to go to shit at least.Hornet has been around since the beginning of the Glory Age since she was a condition for one of the Dreamers to be part of a door. Yeah she's fucking oooooold, the babaest lolibaba. And somehow Quirrel is older since he was a Dreamer's assistant and he's just a regular bug.
>>720283570Greymoor, above the locked bellhome.
>almost 100% done>still need like 8000 rosaries to just buy random shit>I only lost like 300 to dying in Hunter's March 70 hours agoIt really does not feel like they give you enough of these fucking things.
whwre can i find the huge moth that attacks the shopkeeper on the memorium i still need to kill 1
>>720283604thank yougotta start buying map pins and using them
>>720283570greymoor on top of the doctors house iirc
pls pray for me, bros
>Shakra thinks Hornet looks really young>Sherma calls her a maiden>shes an old ass fuckHornet is the closest thing to a thousand year old loli in the game but unfortunately shes probably closer to her teens in appearance considering we see her actual child form
how do I get this motherfucker??
>>720283470This is the one thing I'm genuinely mad at in this game. It's very cool, fucking awesome even that there is a secret place to get a different type of gun, but the fact that it's the only missable item in the game makes me mad. If the game had a bunch of missable shit I wouldn't be half as mad but this being the ONE thing you can miss out on is so annoying. My fault I guess for listening to hornet and going to a talented crafter.
>No Breta in SilksongWhat a bummer, I guess that was the end of her story
>>720283672Whispering vaults, top right of the big rightmost room.
>>720283662That was more like an infant form so she can be still loli
>>720283654good honest vict->wandererinto the trash
>>720283582>Long enough for Hornet's equipment to go to shit at leastDidn't she say her stuff is gone because the kidnappers took her shit
>>720283728thanks anon, I would have never guessed to look that far away
>read about weapon upgrades>in Act 2 already but don't have one. Enemies are getting spongy>look up a guide>it's in fucking Bellhart, but I never noticed>map doesn't clue this, because it's filled out completely for the areaOkay fuck this. I would have never noticed without a guide.
>>720283768Yeah that was my last one. The map really makes it look like it's some kind of hidden duct wall or some shit.
>>720283796>frees a town>doesnt explore its homes>blames the gamefag
>>720283756Pinmaster praises the needle meanwhile it is trash without upgrades
>>720283662She's probably maxed out height wise, she's about Weaver/Pale King sized. Enjoy ur eternal loli my dude.
What have I got left? I have all three songs, I've done every side quest I've encountered so far, about to fix the screaming bud, what else before I move on Act 3?
>>720283796I had no upgrades for this exact reason until near the end of act 2 lmao.Fought first sinner with no upgrades and it was so much fucking fun.
>>720283796you really never looked around town or noticed the ladders? how
>>720283837I can't remember any indication that I could climb something. I saw people frolicking on the ground level and thought that was that.
>>720283796Yeah that's kinda retarded in a game like this anon.
wait I need all journal entries fully completed for the memento? Yeah fuck that not killing 60 maggots one bomb at a time
I've gotten the float, dash, and wall climb but I still see a few areas that I can't reach with no enemies to pogo off of. is there another movement tech to be found? if so just "yes" will suffice as an answer
>>720283756Her Needle was all busted and torn from pure aging, and we know there was a fully capable Nailsmith in Hollownest until roughly the end of HK1 so there's no reason it should be in the completely trash stated it is in Silksong. Which is an inference but I don't think a giant leap in logic.
>>720277992Wait so is this real
I got his dice next to his body lolHow did he even die?
>>720283949Yes,
>>720283874I just didn't. There's so many ways to go. I was probably preoccupied.>>720283869At least I am not the only one.At least put a sign there or something.
>>720283940They count as many so it takes like 4 bombs or something
>>720283991you should be trying to reach the roof of every single room you have a map of.if you can't reach the roof, make a note of it.
why is phantom not talked more?do people not care about edgekino in 2025?
>>720283503Fuck off, nigger. It make sno logical sense
>>720283971cool thanks. I figured there must have been with how thoroughly I checked out the areas for breakable walls or hidden paths
How the fuck are you supposed to beat Father of Flame?It is impossible to not take damage from the constant homing fireballs he spews.
>>720284037Phantom is overrated
>>720284037she is fun, but it gets better in the same style
>>720283620You can get 400-600 or so on a quick Citadel clear with the thief thing, but yeah it's rough. Geo farming in Hollow Knight 1 was also pretty rough, lot of high cost crap that required beating Trial of Warriors/Fools a couple times or suffering on some shit grind loop.
>>720284054They don't actually home that hard. Just play it slow and the fight is easy. It's just really fucking annoying waiting for sprites to spawn that don't block you from getting up. Also don't kill any limbs until you have them all on 1 or two hits and he won't increase in difficulty until phase 2.
>>720284038if you want>muh logicthe bellbeast is too rough of a ride and the tubes are canonically lethal to ride so it fucks up the food and supplies. You also lose durability on the deliveries if you bump into walls while fullspeed dashing.
>>720284054It's a lot easier to juke with double-jump or grapple.
>>720284152grapple is busted
>>720284037>why is phantom not talked more?went there late in act 2 and whupped her ass on first trynot very memorable when it just fucking dies
Harpoon's autojump makes the platforming too easy
>>720284152I have both.>>720284120When you are pogoing on the limbs it is pure rng if the fireballs hit you or not.>Play it slowFucking gay.I really hate the way the game forces you to play bosses according to their retarded pace instead of being able to set the pace of fighting yourself.
>>720284028Sure I can do that. But this only works if I notice that something is still hidden. But the game indicates with other rooms that there's something unexplored, you can clearly see that you didn't explore everything. But it doesn't do that all the time, so that's just wonky to be honest. Also, why can't I write down notes on the in-game map with the pins, that would be helpful.
>>720283965>How did he even die?Boredom playing his own shit minigame with himself.
>>720283965his luck ran out
>>720284187she is an act 1 boss anon
>>720283215Tightly wall jump in the top corners of the arena and they can only hit you if they decide to do a jump attack very close to the wall. Then between attacks, pogo them for damage.
Well fuck
>>720284218>When you are pogoing on the limbs it is pure rng if the fireballs hit you or not.It really isn't. The fight sucks, but it's very easy if you just wait. You can also just throw out robo bugs with venom on and the fight is a complete joke.
>>720284142Then why don't you take damage from fast travel? Your logic makes no sense
>>720284227>shit minigameEveryone point and laugh at this skill-let
>>720284252yes, but I think most people want to act 2 through the last judge, then likely spent a lot of time in the citadel rather than going outside
>>720284218>I have both.Then grapple to the horizontal fire thingy as stuff starts to home on you. Also wanderer crest for high DPS pogos. Like other anon said their tracking sucks, should be able to pogo/dj combo to clear easily.You want the Magma Bell for the fuckups too.
>>720284054use an easy pogo charm like reaper it becomes a joke
>>720284252>>720284341Hardly an act 1 boss when its hidden behind a wall in an already hard location that wards off people even more than the ant fort
>>720284321>Then why don't you take damage from fast travel?The same way Hornet is 4 foot tall but can take a 12 inch dick, she's just built different.
>>720284347it's baffling harpoon lets you iframe through attacksharpoon into a living thing? makes sense, you just whack it as you reel in, and needed for mechanics besidesbut 'harpooning' into some random sawblade flying at you? or even a fireball??? nigga cmon
>>720284054multiple hits tools and crest like sting shard and architecht destroys it.
>>720283582You've called them ages, when you could just have easily called them bug decades and changed nothing
>>720284276>Fatty got through all of those shit areas only to die on her own terms chilling in a showerBased
>Call beastlings near traps>traplocked and diesHow did they not make Hornet immune to damage after casting
Do you jump or not when juggling fleas, this is way harder than the food quest
>>720284501It definitely took longer than 10 years per age.Unless we're talking Bug Years.
This game is phenomenal. Massive spoiler btw.
>>720284321Motherfucker, do you get your spine shatter when a car goes over a speedbump too fast? The shit in your bag would still get jumbled and messy and the bellbeast ride is constant bumps.
>>720284494Nigga I can't even get the fucking arms destroyed without being at 1 mask or so.
>the intro cutscene to the 2nd lace fight holy kino
>>720284627Unerwhelming final boss tbqhIt is like Jetstream Sam being the final boss
oh... only Subaru doesn't have those fancy dresses...
From the. beginning I thought Hornet's sprite was way too big and I was hoping it would have been scaled down. A lot of Hollow Knight's magic was how small he felt in this massive world. If they somehow rescaled Hornet I think it would solve a lot of problems, including an often confusing inconsistent hit box.
>>720284690>It is like Jetstream Sam being the final bossThat would've been kino and everyone prefers that fight. If you mean in terms of story importance, yeah, but mechanically I'm very glad they didn't do that Radiance shit again.
>>720284662Wait until you get double jump, he gets significantly easier. Also start from the highest target, I'm pretty sure he spew out fire faster as he lost more arms.
how do i get this little fucker
>>720280648I got spoiled
>>720284745I mean they are both cool but not final boss coolI needed a bigger boss
So completing the Advanced Alchemy quest just outright bricks your plasmium vial, even the beta branch doesnt fix it
>>720284793Go from wisp
>>720284789I fucking have the double jump. It is the constant barrage of fireballs that just chips away at my health and I can't fucking heal because nothing in the fight gives silk.
Shhh Hornet is sleeping BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN STUCK ON SAVAGE MOSSFLY ALL DAY.
>>720284829thanks why does the faggot flea man tell me its in The Citadel reeeeee
>>720284690TC took note that people loves Vergil final boss.
>>720283019I got some (location spoiler) abyss dialogue, this may take place centuries after HK
>>720284865There's some weird area groupings in the hints for sure.
>>720282813there is a breakable wall in wisp thicket, in the middle where the fire lamps are
>>720284841It's kinda hard to explain, if you see a flame about to launch at you when you're pogoing stop attacking and let yourself fall down, then double jump when you're about to get hit and continue pogoing.
>>720281510Same. They didnt seem killable for some reason and I just felt like the objective is to get through without them spotting you which proved impossible after several run backs.
I brought your muckmaggot cunt what the fuck is your problem? I really thought this would work lol
>>720284310The robobugs don't even target anything in that fight.
>>720280648Uh, like 3 minutes? I enjoyed playing the harp to find out how npcs/places react, and the moment I died the first time and saw a different layout in the entrance I knew the butterflies were the key so I insta played the harp.
>>720284690Nah man everything about that final boss is kino.I got chills watching the final plunge and the great escape.
>>720285029That's clever, they should add dialogue for that. It's a boss drop though.
>>720285029I thought you need to get maggot'd and talk to the two guys who want roach meat and they'll convert them into item lol, turns out it's just boss fight reward.
Need nuu thread
>>720285161>>720285161
>>720284981Half of the time the fucking flames come from beyond the screen so I have no idea of when they are targetting me or not.
