Did I fuck up by giving my boomerang to the ant in far fields?
THICK SILK ASS
>>720390158You get a better one after revisiting
>>720390158Rest and go back to him.
Seriously where the fuck is the third oil
How many of you here have done the cursed ending?
>>720390224Reward for getting every flea.
>>720390224western exit of whispering vaults and/or fond all fleas and go there
>>720390192These bugs are unreasonably sexy.
Can anyone here tell me if there's a bench in the fucking hellhole that is bilewater? because if I have TO RUN THROUGH THE ENTIRE FUCKING MAP, THE ENTIRE THING again just to get to bilehaven's challenge, I will stop being so nice

>>720390035Why does everyone think Sherma is a boy?
>>720390270Ah, that makes sense, I'm missing two of the bastards. One I saw hints about last thread but one's in Bilewater and despite doing laps around it I can't find how to get to it.
>>720390296Yes.
>>720390304I don't get it.
>>720390296
>>720390334Because he's explicitly called "him" in one of the sidequests. I also thought he was a girl and not just because Yuru Camp gave me a yuri onsen fetish.
>>720390409Nice handwriting.Post signature
>>720390334referred to as "him" by his quest text
So I made it into the Citadel. Not really a fan so far, it feels like a giant maze with very similar looking rooms and very little going on. I've only found one map and I'm just randomly going from door to door hoping to find something.
>>720390390people think its a nod to expedition 33, the only other goty candidate for this year
>>720390427>>720390448Fair enough.He's still cute.
>>720390340It's not JUST all fleas by the way you also have to do a bunch of minigames that are retardedly difficult
>>720390296You are right next to it, but coming from the wrong sideGo up and over and then wade through the maggots at the wall for the secret entrance
Adds in boss fights should drop shards
Sherma was born a girl, so he's actually trans
>>720390192
WHY IN THE FUCK ARE THE LAST 4 MASK SHARDS AND FINAL PALE OIL EXCLUSIVE TO ACT 3
WHEREWHERE IS THE SECRET PASSAGE IN THE VAULTS TO FIGHT GARMOND????SHOW ME YOUR MAPS
>>720390465>Doesn't like gigantic mazesThis genre isn't for you
>had to rollback to act 2 because I didn't duel ShakraOh well, I guess I'll have to refight Bell Eater.
>all the wagies in Underworks carry less rosaries than pilgrims at The Marrow
use the needolin on Sherma when you find him in the Whiteward. cute and sad
>>720390593They have to waste it all on benches and confessionals.
>>720390372>>720390409>>720390461>>720390489Thanks but fuck this dogshit map, its the worst area I have ever seen in a metroidvania ever, what a fucking terrible idea, why does it expect me to swim in the sea of fucking maggots to find a hidden wall? I just don't understand
>>720390158wait what?where do you do that?
>>720390035Buy an ad shill
>>720390484yeah, he's cute. i'd suck his cock.
>>720390564It's a boring maze and I enjoy filling out a map not just aimlessly wandering for hours.
>>720390684far fields
So now that the dust has settled, can we all agree that the location of the Pollen Heart is the most fuck-stupid obtuse thing in the entire game? With the other two, it was reasonable to assume their respective locations. Of course an item called the Hunter Heart is located in Hunter's March. Encrusted Heart can't be anywhere else on the map, so that was a freebie. The heart with POLLEN in the name has to be located in area where enemies spew POLLEN. It even shows up on the Shellwood quick map. Except, no, you fuckwit. You have to backtrack to the spot where the big elevator fell, smack a blink-and-you-will-miss-it breakable wall, and then backdoor to the area. The one hint prior was there was some vines located next to where you fell in that dark room. God forbid you take a break after that point. Seriously? Everyone in the playtesting room came to unanimous verdict that a reasonable person would be searching for the heart of the woods near the fucking Underworks area? Why did they make one so cryptic and the other two so mind-numbingly simple?
How do I reach this faggot?
I can't beat this stupid fucking bullshit boss
Well this is interesting. I got LEECHED. Unsure of what to do, I revisited the witch, but all that was left behind was a husk. So I went back to this thing, because she promised she could expand my nature or something. I don't know. Like help me if my nature changed or something like that. But when I got close, she was already shielded, and told me she can detect the leech and won't let it befoul her. So now I don't know what to do.(And I'm not asking for help either. No hints, clues, allusion, or solutions please. I'll see if I can work this one out on my own.
The true final boss is so fucking AIDS holy shitWho thought her being able to teleport right into your dash when you're dashing to dodge another attack was a good idea
>>720390684In the far fields there's a target practice room, and if you hit them all with one boomerang throw in Act 3 you get a reward.
why does the haunting happen? how does it benefit gm silk to be haunting people as opposed to how pharloom was operating before the haunting?
God fucking damn it, I WISH I could give my remove a Silk Skill on Beast Crest and just get a blue slot instead. SS on is fucking useless since all you want to do on beast is get into rage mode and stay in rage mode, which usually takes up all your silk.
>>720390702Yeah I bet all previous 100 threads reached bump limit because it's all a marketing campaign where people pretend they are playing the game and posting screenshots.
>>720390862Have you tried jumping?
>>720390334Because he is.
>>720390850Start in the underworks and make your way east.
WHERE IS HE???
>>720390827I didn't find it without someone on here already mentioning it but surely eventually you'd try to approach it from all directions
fuck flea dodgeit shouldnt be randomised so you get fucked by rng
>>720390870um they're not leeches stupid
>>720390862
>>720391001>>720390850>eastwestI know which way left and right are, honest
>there's a item that's essentially infinite use beast shard on a cooldown>Steel soul meme mode exclusive :^)FUCKING NIGGERS
>>720390903I assumed the Haunting was GM manually reanimating the corpses of various pilgrims/Choral members, there's some lore about how they're injecting silk into their shells in order to achieve immorality so idk if that's why she can do it or what.
WHERE IS THIS???
>>720390158How in the fuck am I STILL missing content from the bottom of the map, brosThis game is fucking insaneHollow Knight can be fully explored in like 40h. I'm like 80 into Silk Song and have yet to reach act 3
>flea gamesgoddam, fuck this shit. i rescued all the flees, give me the oil! you can gate your shitty charm behind the games instead
How do I get this flea?
>>720391134Content is locked behind acts.
>>720390334He's a cute boy
>>720391014Dodge was easier when I started doing very small movements and learned some fleas just go right over your head. You can still get fucked by RNG but a few tries will eventually give you some good luck.FUCK flea juggle though, holy fuck I hate that shit.

>>720391019The magical being capable of discerning people's natures called it a leech, so it's a leesh.
>>720391213I meant, posted the wrong img
>>720390870Fuck you. Go to Bellthar and talk to people. One will hint you to right direction.
>>720391213magnetic dice
>>720390550Do you know the area where you can fall into bilewater? It's to the left of that. You have to start falling and then do some platforming, I think harpoon and stuff whatnot. It's brutal because if you fuck up you'll just fall right into bilewater and have to an hero to get back up fastest
I didn't understand any of the endings or what Act 3 was about.
>>720391227>>720391231>>720391263my thanks
>>720391292voltvessels and plasmium phials
>>720391014I found juggling to be the biggest cancer, if only because you have to do 3 each, and because it doesn't really correspond to an established gameplay element. Dodging and bouncing is literally just combat and platforming, but juggling is mostly gimmicks, especially since there are no enemies that can actually be juggled.
>>720391235yeah, it was a great sequenceI don't get the complaints about act 3, it's very good so far
This fight alone is bringing the game down from an 8/10 to a 7/10

>>720390850Read the post above yours
>>720391318act 3 was the most straightforward and explained via dialogue part of the game though?
>>720391356thanks anon, love you forevernow to figure out what masks I'm missing... that's gonna be fun
>>720391420It's not that hard
>find way to the guy banging on the door near the merchant in far fields>open the door>he runs out after attacking me for a bit>can't find him anymorehope he doesn't kill someone cool
>>720391139Bounce and juggle easy to do with the reaper's crest. For juggle, they made it so that you always get the overhand swing if you are trying to hit a flea, and the dash attack can come in clutch. I almost never used reaper in playthrough and it saved me for those.
I know they said surface bugs were just regular old bugs but, its a little unnerving that even its body looks conventional compared to everything below it. Like consciousness is an irreperable deformity he was spared from
>>720391362I feel the same way, there's nothing in the game that replicates flea juggle so you just have to fail over and over while developing the muscle memory.And then they fuck with you by throwing in fleas with different falling rates GOD I hate flea juggle.
>>720391420use clawline liberally, don't be afraid to go stupid hard and stick to her like glue.
>>720391437>>720391319Why is this boy so sexual?

>>720390543So you don't end up overgeared for Act 2, I guess. It feels like Team Cherry really wanted players to stick to their 'vision' of how the game should be played with this.Like, I think one of the reasons so many combat encounters do double damage is to punish you for playing outside of what's given to you - like in HK, you could just gear up and create facetank builts to mash through everything. SS doesn't let you do that, at all
>>720391474I just used Polygon's interactive map and cross referenced locatoons i did and did not have on my mapSome are also quest rewards though
>>720391538>>720391362i got like 200 on the juggle it was extremely easyyou guys suckyou know you don't have to upswing, anything that would deal damage will keep them in the air
>>720391610How do you that, by the way?
uuuoooo i'm feeleing HEALTHY oooooooooo
>>720391610You can break it?!
>>720391594There are other stags elsewhere that you can complete the hunter's journal.Unless you're referring to something else.
>>720391594why do you people keep lying about this? it's not even funny.
>>720391527you remember the cutscene after first sinner? being uplifted to intelligence really does physically change bugs' forms
>>720390878Every single phase 1 attack can be countered by double jumping away from her and pogoing/landing next to her and attacking.
>>720391551That's going to get you killed 99% of the timeShe has so many retarded >LMAO you thought you could do damage? GET FUCKED moves>parry>random tentacle followup>ground tentacles cucking your>void mortars cucking you>teleports
>>720391434incredible
>>720391034If it makes you feel any better, there is no actual orientation, so we could be moving from north to south for all we know
>>720391610guess he's dead then lmao
>>720391656yea I've been using one of those maps too, I'm only missing 2 pieces
>>720391637I think all the Hallownest bugs are dead, Anon.
>>720391594if youre talking about the shopkeeper in the pilgrims rest room, all his items are sold by the thief later on
>>720390035
>>720391437my wife (male)
>>720391094Unreleased. PRobably shelved for DLC
>There's an animation for opening your map while lying in bedVery cute
>>720391637marissa and brumm
>>720391661I understand you don't have to upswing, but what's killing me is having two fleas with different arcs on the opposite side of the stage from a third flea, only to get a hyperactive flea on the next toss that I have no hope of juggling in time.
>If you hookshot the lights in Fay Mountain, they breakSuper fucking gay mechanic, what were they thinking?
>>720391676Just one more dose, bro.
>>720391710You can dodge the parry attack and punish her, you just need to be ready to react depending on what attack she does
>>720391641Because silksong is actually properly balanced. It's balanced to be difficult, but balanced none the less. In hollow knight you could just voidrape everything with descending dark and void scream with charms that almost feedback loop into infinite spells
>quit load in steel soul>fractured mask rush>still piss and shit myself constantly
Gotta say 5 hours is pretty generous, died a bunch, had to backtrack because I got lost/forgot stuff and I still had just under 2 hours to spare.Fuck the Conductor's Melody arena though
Ive spent 4 ingame hours trying to beat this fat swampfaggot, what the fuck is this trobbio, first sinner and phantom didnt take me more than 5 tries but this fucker is somehow my filter
>>720391841it's funny
is there anything relevant in this room?this is the ceiling of the place with the cooks in sinenrs road
>>720391881cheese him anon
>>720390827at least it's optional
>>720391808How the fuck did you figure out his name?
>>720391014You think flea circus is bad now? Wait till you meet Seth.
>>720391551I'm a serial clawline spammer and this is absolutely not a clawline fight. 90% of her moves land next to you and the ones that don't she just teleports next to you immediately afterwards.
>>720391881Embrace the grubs.
>>720391904your needlin bro
so wheres the place where you use silk soar in mount fay
>>720391808>>720391936wtf even is this cutscenewho the hell is pilby
>>720391868show me your checklist of stuff for getting straight to the end so i can try it
>>720391808I lost my respect for most pilgrims in that moment
>>720391979
>>720391851You have to dodge preemptively right after one attack which will again fuck your damage And if she does the tentacles you will eat shit And even if the parry didn't exist she'd still have a billion other moves to prevent you from punishing her other shit
>>720391094It seems like there was a lot of ocean-themed shit that got cut. Coral Tower was originally gonna be an entire platforming area and it got turned into a series of gauntlets. This entire town and biome seem to be gone. Maybe DLC, maybe it just didn't synergize with TC's vision for the game. I can get how it would feel pretty out of place with the rest of Pharloom, plus they probably realized that adding a FOURTH town would increase the amount of content they need to make exponentially.
>>720391792Yeah just like the giant snail house in the release trailer of hollow knight was released eventually in a DLC, right?
>>720392007He's the Little Pilgrim.
>>720391979are you asking where the secret area is that the pinstress tells you about? the one that is said to be in the center of the mountain?think for yourself for one second. where you do think you would use an ability that makes you go up if you wanted to end up in the center of the mountain.retart
>>720391979A good tip is where you find shafts of light in caves = silk soar spot.
>>720391936I'm guessing it's something to do with the needolin desu
>>720390035Plasmium chads, where are you at?https://youtu.be/_s_pumI-nrM?si=lRTx-z_MQIbIOQ4p
>>720391894I'm not laughing.>>720391894
RANDOM MOB ENEMIES DO NOT NEED TO DO DOUBLE MASK DAMAGE OK
can you get to vilewater from putrefied ducts without having to do the fight with groal the great to get the seeker's soul?
>>720391770There are three pieces you get from act 3 quests - one from killing 12 abyss husk things and one from fighting a boss in the far fields near the ant queenAnd one for the races
>>720391881tank him, you can spam hits while inside his mouth to get silkdid it second try
>>720391975yeah i used that, its in the picturei just didnt think of it special, no reward or anything
>>720391868Hardest part of these was always just doing fights with 0 upgrades. I remember doing shade skip in HK and having 3hours to spare for both watcher knights and hollow knight, i barely made it.
>beat lost lace without tools>not because of difficulty autism, because I just ran out of shards and didn't feel like farmingI... I guess I beat the game?
>>720391923>>720391974I always have less than 2 hearts when I get to groal and I keep getting aoe death from his gay bouncy balls even when im hugging the bottom corners
is there a NG+ if I get a bad ending or do I have to make a new save?
>>720391679>>720391668open the door until a silver gear inside appears and hit it.
>>720392117Silk leech is worse, to be honest.
>>720392123nothe path to groal is blocked from the other sidehe is a mandatory boss
>>720391881>comes after an arena fight>muckaids swamp below, even if you have the purity charm>worst runback in the game and it's not even close>every attack does 2 damage>his dive is very fast, giving you little time to get out of the way>vores you for 3 damage no matter whatIt's like they specifically designed him to be killed by tools because they knew people would neglect them in boss fights most of the time
beat my scores or you didn't beat the game
>>720392159>I guess I beat the game?Depends on the crest.
>>720392117they don't, if you don't get hit
>>720392187imagine if they had a leech alongside the aids maggot water haha
>>720392180game ends and credits play then next time you load from main menu you're right before the final boss.
>>720392060Yeah but if you do it right you still get to attack at least twice, I also don't remember the tentacle attack being quick enough that you can't react to it in time to punish either, you mean the ones like Pure Vessel does right where they come from her body or do you mean the ones on the floor
>>720391936You just have to talk to him enough. He sometimes has new dialogue and eventually he tells you his name.
>>720392117>flies away from your needle>spams projectiles>teleports away from you>teleports into you>knocks you into environmental hazardsProblem, weavefag?
>>720392252I'm not referring to the maggots.I hate voidniggers so goddamn much.
>>720392175where are your sticking points?If my final hp is too low I farm mosquitos for silk to heal.My only real issue is the 2nd roach fucker on the run back is a 50/50 for taking damage while trying to pogo off of him, and the moss guys rng bullshit.
Pretty much all that I have left to do before starting act 3 is visit the slab, and duel garmond, Garmond is currently at the first shrine, can I still duel him or am I cooked?
>>720390679You can actually avoid the maggots on your way out if you clawline under the low ceiling and double jump onto the wall. Also, there's a charm in the putrefied ducts that nullifies the maggot effect.
>>720392235>>720392237>Have to find all the fleas
>>720392083>Little Pilgrimzero idea who you are talking about. is this the girl that sings the song and tinks her bell?
Why do enemies drop so little shards holy shit
>>720392284Interesting, I tried to talk to him whenever I could but outside of a bit of new dialogue he never said his name.
>>720392402Are you using the “more shards” trinket?
>>720392402Bro your shard charm?
I ened an ending checklist, what do I need to do? Beat the act 2 final bossbuild a trap of some sort and do it again, but this time have a bunch of quests and fleas found? Then what?
>>720392135I imagine this might get patched out at some point, given how the rest of the game is balanced.
>>720392402rule of thumb is "people" drop rosaries, the richer they were in life the more in death and animals/robots drop more shards.
>>720391437I'm not usually into straight shota but the thought of Hornet making him experience an orgasm for the first time while they're bathing together is insanely lewd.
Thanks jew
>>720392129already did all those, I'm done with wishes too, just on the round everything up phase, not the most fun, wish they'd just do what they did with the fleas and mark the remaining stuff on the map

>>720392440>>720392441>>720392475Yeah I'm using the more shards charm but I still feel like I'm drowning in rosaries and poor as fuck in shards at all times
>>720392159I... I guess I beat the game?Only if you didn't use Wanderer or Architect crest
>>720392106Based.Plasmium chads we can't stop winning.
>>720391437why is /v/ so horny for this bug
>>720392516HIS NAME WAS ROBUG PILBSON
>>720392346You can only get there through the memorium which is an area I haven't even visited yet according to the map or after bile haven which at that point the charm is useless, this area is just dogshit, there's no saving it. What do I get for being the giant frog bastard? because if its too shit I think I'm going to skip this area, once again its completely hampering my enjoyment of the game because of how bad the runback is even if I avoid the maggots, its plainly just shit, no two ways about it
>>720392495For me, it's the weighted belt and longclaw in the vestigial slots
>>720392110>stunned splinter falls on you and deals damage>traps in hunter's march>falling rocks/bells>the entirety of bilewateryou should've gotten the joke already mate
I found a bomb toolIs there any situation in which I need to use this tool to blow up a wall or something that nothing else can destroy?

>>720392520>Beat granny silk on the first attemptMight as well be boasting about beating Moss Charger
>>720392007>he doesn't talk to npcs and checks hoe they are doing once in a whileSad!
>>720392394Crazy that this one little plot and gameplay irrelevant character has like 5 different paths and outcomes.
>>720392545If you're drowning in rosaries, I suggest you use some of them to buy shard bundles from the many npcs that sell them. That's why theyre there, anon
>>720392563For beating* I'm so frustrated with this shit I can't even type right
This is like my 20th attempt. She feels easy but I keep throwing. I'm at 18 hours and I'm still in act 1. I'm trying to finish her then start act 2
>>720391808I killed the tyrant boss and was surprised to find that he stills kills pilby.Shouldn't this be avoided if ypu kill the tyrant boss?
I'm losing my FUCKING MIND trying to get the cursed ending. Every time by the end I have one hit left and the stage turns into spikes in the center and falling rocks on both sides and I can't weave the projectiles. I'd be embarassed to admit how long I've been running this fight today.
>witch crest doesn't have a slot for the compassdropped instantly
>>720392641are they infinite stock? I assumed they would be one time purchases so I left them in case of emergency
>>720392563>What do I get for being the giant frog bastard? because if its too shit I think I'm going to skip this areaHe's required to beat the game.

>>720391014Flea Dodge was the only one I did first try
>>720392681that was a different one. the originals corpse is still there.
>>720392712if you bought them you could just leave them in your inventory in case of emergency.
>>720392563If you're confident enough, you can make Groal easier by becoming a maggot boy, you just camp inside the maggots and go for safe hits, the only attack you have to worry about is his dive, the rest can't hit you.
>>720392681There's two tyrant bosses, the one that kills Pilby spawns in and nukes him from off-screen.RIP my boy.
>>720392671pogo her. she's significantly easy if you just no sale pogo her.
>>720392693Do you need to do that shit to get to act 3 or is that just required for pointless achievement autism?
>>720392701>compassLolShiggy diggy bros>>720392681There are two of them, I guess:(Such is life and death for the bugs of Phimosis...
>>720392671Why are you black?
>>720392813for some reason no one knew my boy's name during the funeral
>>720392738why the fuck are you complaining over getting two damage upgrades?
>>720392701senpai where is your vesticrest
>>720392785to kill pillsbury ofc
>>720392563you get the last third of the game. both hollow knight and silksong are designed for people who believe optional content is mandatory content. TC takes making areas that 1% of players will find to an extreme, and locks endings and all sorts of high-effort content behind this. the first endings are always obviously "bad endings" but you get retards that somehow feel satisfied with that and leaving all the optional stuff on the table. choose what type of gamer you are.
>>720392837the latter, thankfully
>>720392760That's on the second slot, nigga
I saw someone say in one of these threads that Eva gives you a second blue slot in your vesticrest, but I got the final upgrade from her and it was just another boost to Hunter. Was I duped?
>>720392671honestly my favourite fight in the game so far
>>720392809I tried that strategy and I found it completely terrible, didn't work at all. My runs where I just did shit normally worked infinitely better even though they didn't succeed. Someone on the wiki said that sitting on the corner spamming silk shot is apparently a good strat so I'm probably going to try that next. The boss isn't even hard, once again its just fucking frustrating garbage
pilby....
>>720392738one's a reward for mastering everything outside the citadel, one's a reward for mastering everything inside the citadel
>>720392791If you think this is bad, wait until you discover the actual cancer of this game.
>>720392916its the best Act 1 boss fight, but there have been a few in Act 2 that I've enjoyed more. The Clockwork mantis knight dudes were great.
How long does it take for the rhino monster to show up and destroy the shop in Far Fields after you let him out?
>>720392927He was literally me.Nigga didn't even begin his quest of pilgrimage. He just sat there doing nothing all day until he died.
I thought the Rosary increase from relics/pslams on the beta branch was going to be like a 10/20% increase, but it's around 3-4x the amount, it's pretty crazy
I'm in act 2 and this is my map, I only need to get the High Halls melody until I can open the gate in the Cogwork center.Tell me should I go do the High Halls gauntlet now, or should I keep exploring somewhere to find more stuff I missed? Please anons.
>>720392837I want to do everything in this game, perhaps sans Steel Soul. Nothing about this fucking boss fight is hard, I am just fucking dogshit, outside of really weird attack timings everything is so goddamn predictable I should have had this done with hours ago.
>>720392914HE FELL FOR IT AAAHHHHHH
>>720392924Yes, Groal by himself isn't a even a noteworthy boss, it's the fucking runback and the gauntlet everytime that make him terrible.
>>720392863you never learned his name then, anon.Hornet is the only one who even really knows who he is, if you interacted enough.
>>720392791Kek, this is one of my favorite fights in the game. Felt like a god ripping through these faggots after a bunch of attempts.
>>720392607You can use it to blow up maggots.Which has no practical benefit but is very cathartic.
>>720392738anon the chef guy's oil was not supposed to be the first one you get
>>720390035Fuck off, I wanted to bathe with Lace.
>>720393054Groal is a push over, I beat him first time. Just hug the right wall and most of his attacks are meaningless.
>>720393039You're missing a lot but the game won't end if you get the melody first
>>720393039You're missing the Slab and the MountainFind a random enemy with a cage and get caught
Can someone tell me how to fight the robot in Act 3? I think this is the last thing I need to reach 100%. I know I need a quest for that but I checked first shrine and there is nothing there
>watch a speedrunner do some late game boss>he has zero nail upgrades>takes pretty much the same amount of hits as it took me with two nail upgradescool game
>>720392738Nothing stopping you from getting them the other way around.
>>720393050I... I guess I did...
>>720392738where is this
>>720393079I talked to him every time I was in town...Damn
>>720393039You can do the fight if you feel like it, just don't use the elevator after, you are still missing some zones.
>>720393039Well, once you get the melody you still have to play it for the statues, it's not like the game forces you immediately to move on, so just go for itI will say that you have a ton left to do tho including several entire fucking regions man good luck
>>720392791Btw if you wall jump in the top right the big guys literally can't even reach you.
>start using this>the enemy that drops 32 rosaries now drops 4 fuck it, worth the damage boost.
>>720392671ayoo hol up…so u be sayin we wuz bugz n sheeit?
>>720393091wait how am I supposed to get the one locked up then? I already have everything but the timed meat delivery done and the crustnut(?) thing
>>720392914just vore her bro
>>720392693play passive when the spikes are turned on, only dodging. You can also disable them by hitting them. It makes the fight significantly easier for me
>skull tyrant fucks up bone bottom right before I can fulfill the bridge wishYeah I wanna fucking kill myself
is there anything up here? I can't reach it yet....
>>720393212>I already have everything but the worst 2Kek
>>720393039damn bro you're missing like five areasanyway you can do high halls right now and come back for that shit after the credits but high halls' last fight is a pain in the fucking dickso if you get there and need upgrades try going left from choral chambers
>>720393134Yeah I refuse to believe the needle upgrades actually do anything major. Hollow Knight's nail damage went 5-9-13-17-21, with Hornet's needle it feels more like 5-7-10 (I haven't gotten more yet)
>>720393130You need to see him help you out in combat a few times to trigger it.Which happens randomly when you enter rooms in the choral chambers.
Great game.I may have the longest time and lowest completion percentage that I've seen here but being stubborn and persistent gets the job done.Just wish I could re-fight Karmelita. Also would like some kind of a NG+. Might just see if there's a modded save that starts out with all Crests. Beat the majority of the game with Reaper and curious how things would go playing the entire game with something like Beast.
>>720391881get the charm that invalidates the maggot water, get the secret bench that's kind of close to him, use cog flies and the floating pin things to kill his adds, always say to far left or right when the spike ball comes down. don't bother attack his adds during his actual fight, they just do like one attack and fuck off. do all of that and he's pretty easy, just hit and run him so you don't get caught out when he dives
>>720393272Yes.
>>720393260For me it was right before the Hornet statue.I paid for it and never got to see it...
>>720393260you are locked out of act 3 now
I want the DLC to introduce pirate bugs.
>>720393272YesCome back once you have double jump
>>720393306at least beast is earlyi think it would be cool to do a no-tools playthrough with shaman
>>720393283Oh I've got my route planned out and practiced for the delivery but I got distracted by a different quest, I don't even know where I need to go for the nut one.
>>720393091>>720393138I'm autistic. I can't explore any of the citadel before conquering bilewater.>>720393158Vaults, left of choral. The room exits at the place with the pinmaster sign
>>720393292I don't know the exact numbers but I do know at max level I one-shot enemies that used to take 4 hits.
>>720393354ty
Fuck outta here
>>720393260I fucking landed on the bridge from high up after having it fixed. Waste of fucking money man, build your shit better.
>>720393381It's in the Sands of Karak
>>720393196idk if its bugged or i'm just retarded but this thing is definitely not giving me extra rosaries, even when i harpoon
>>720393381for the nut, go revisit the pinstress in blasted stepsthat'll put you on the right track
>>720391808>>720392681I don't understand how the Skull Tyrant thing works. Initially thought that if you ignored the quest from the notice board the boss shows up on its own to wreck the town. But it turns out even if you complete the quest on time, a different Skull Tyrant shows up to do the same anyway.
>>720393224I did. She doesn't give you an extra slot, she gives you an ability that lets you regen silk on benches.
>>720393453def bugged
>>720393292i dunno what the starting value is but a max nail in silksong is 21 damage according to the guy who posted damage numbers for everything
>>720393380Yeah it is pretty early. I also didn't get bodied by Savage Beastfly 1 this run cause I went way later, so maybe I should go through that suffering.
>>720393294I see, I haven't seen the robot once. Thanks, anon
>>720393272why post this question instead of just putting down a marker and coming back later when you think you can reach it?where's your spirit of adventure and discovery anon?
Is it even worth it to keep doing the dart throwing challenge? He just gave me a pouch upgrade and now he says there's rosaries of I do it again. Is there anything else ?
>>720392343Can anyone answer this please? >>720392343
What is the strat for the flea juggle? Just pray for good rng? Tried reaper and it makes the early bit easy if I have to dash, the dash attack is so slow and fucks my position up. Been having more success with wanderer but still get screwed by when three fleas show up and form two groups on opposite sides of the stage
>>720392586I get the joke, I just don't think it's funny. It's not a funny joke and they keep repeating it over and over because they think you're not laughing because you didn't hear them, when you did. And what's the point of the Mask Maker? Is he part of a quest
>>720393476I think if you can't understand that there are multiple skull tyrants running around then you might be really fucking stupid.
>>720390827the only HINT is that the door in the elevator room is covered with vinesI combed that area so hard I could tell before reaching the area which walls were fake from the other side and would open a shortcut
>>720392671I thought phantom was male
>>720393629wanderer and sprint back and forth without jumping
>think Reaper is the best at silk generation>is actually the worst at it because of the slow attack speed and how it baits you to waste time chasing after the 1/3 silk balls instead of just fucking attackingGod, Reaper is so disappointing.
>>720393629i did it with hunterwanderer felt too short and reaper felt too slowalso jumping is a trap
>>720393306really cool stats imo
>>720393580I think the pouch upgrade is all that's worthwhile
>>720393554died when i had to runback through a zone for the 5000th time to a previous marker
>>720391698welcome back Pure Vessel
>>720393598He's a joke boss and gives no reward so you're not missing much imo. When I dueled him, it was from finding him in that little area just east of songclave (think you go through archives to get there?). After we killed mobs together, I talked to him and that's when we dueled. Idk if it's specific to that area or if it can happen any time you can find him fucking around.
>>720391003Cut from the game.
>>720393357Anon, he builds a statue of himself and makes a tiny one of hornet for you
>>720391003Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Game
>>720393598I think Garmond duel is Act 3 exclusive. I've barely paid attention to his quest and I'm pretty sure I just got the quest to duel him in Act 3.
>>720390827I found it by look aroundI was actually assuming that after the void quake a hole had opened up in the blasted blastsI was right but it was only lootI did a big ol loop around the head trying to find the entrance, wasn't that hard
>>720393424>WandererYou didn't beat them
>>720393792He's a backer character so they'll had him eventually
>>720393797>makes a tiny one of hornet for youWHELP, guess I'm never seeing that shit.It'll probably count for 100% completion or some shit, won't it?
My crest? Underpowered and honestYour crest? You didn't beat the game
>>720393646cry about it and break your controller then you manbaby
uhhhh? am I supposed to kill this guy? I've been whacking him for a while
>>720393687She's a silk being so fundamentally I'm not sure anything applies but from needolin dialogues I think Lace called her sister.
>>720393453It is bugged and they said theyll fix it in the upcoming patch, which upset some anons as they nerfed a few things, too
The requirements for act 3 seem too steep, in getting bored of trying to find fleas in hidden rooms
>>720391003Probably DLC. There was supposed to be some overarching story about a bunch of assassins chasing Hornet and I guess it just didn't gel with the rest of the game. Feels like it could make for a good DLC side story though.
>>720393915he's got absurd health regen, just burst him downalternatively, the boss up top has a tool for absorbing the blue goop that you can use
>>720393851in the sequel. that was the case for hollow knight's backers.
>>720393461>>720393450oh, alright. I'd seen that on other peoples maps but couldn't figure out how to get there, I'll go back and search ty
>>720393653I've never seen more than two.
>>720393897>If you didn't beat Elden Ring fists only like Gino you didn't beat the gameThis has been /v/ for all of its history.
>>720393880I doubt itIt's just an itemYou can break it for shards lol
>>720393646you have to deliver an item equivalent to the delicate flower to the mask maker from the weavenest in the far fields in order to get the true ending
>>720392553His cute voice just tickles my ears every time he appears after a cancer stage/boss
Gay bugs.
>>720393915This guy was dead when I found him, he has a boss fight??
>>720393915
The third game should follow a young Garmond and Zaza on whimsical adventures throughout a foreign kingdom before settling down in the village that was eventually silkraped or whatever happened to it
>>720393974oh I see, that's quite annoying
>>720392791>there was another wave after thatARE YOU SHITTING ME WITH THIS FUCKING CRAP!
>>720393995Sounds like it's just a vanity thing then, that's good to know.
what does it mean when the cirlce in the top left is white
>>720394083Lmao
>>720394076Lifeblood is a dangerous solid fuel
>>720394084It should be a Quirrel game that doesn't rehash the plot and isn't so pointlessly big
>>720394076Act 3 is some shit man
>>720394123it means you are GAY and can press circle to heal
>>720393424DAMN nigga they're just doing their job..
>>720394093It's actually useful for the quest
Are there any cool badge combos? I'm trying out bigger heal + quicker heal to decent effect, but it's pretty difficult to set aside the value proposition of cracked mask and pollip.
I'm in Act 3 at the Sands of Karak place with the Ant guy. How do I fight him? It's
>>720394017The map bug's chanting got stuck in my head the first few days I was playing the game, I was humming it under my breath during work a couple times.Does she just stop humming in later areas?
So on top of the fucking awful runback, dogshit maggots and enemies, terrible fucking bench placement of the area I also have to deal with the game glitching out this one bug because I pogo'd it into the water and now its immortal and unaffected by nail attacks. I'm seriously so close to unninstalling and calling this game shit, its so unnecessarily frustrating it hurts
>>720394214Keep progressing, you'll get a new song
>>720391868What route did you take?
>>720393897Assuming you're using crests the way they're designed to be used the only underpowered crest is hunter until you upgrade it and even then if you're not pairing it with barbed bracelet it's pretty weak
>>720392681Huh...Pillby in my game is fine in the Far East abandoned town, next to the 30 rosary shopI fought Skull Tyrant at bone bottom btw, no clue if I did something different
>>720394214wait nvm im retarded had to play down needolin
>>720394238Did you at least get the bench that's not at the bellway?
>>720393424HOW DID I NOT TRY HOOKLINE CANCELS I ALREADY BEAT THE GAME REEEEE
>>720394274Try to talk with him to see if he keeps going.
>>720391808PILBY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIF I DIDN'T SEE IN MY GAME IT DIDN'T HAPPENED
>>720394238yeah that happened to me too. this game is shit but I haven't uninstalled it yet
>just got a second mossberry stew from the druidI already turned one in to the guy guarding the oil. Does it serve another purpose? Or is it a bug?
>>720394238Do you ignore the silk room before the boss every time?
>>720394291I did, its dogshit, and the runback is still awful Bilewater is some of the worst shit I have ever seen in my entire life of playing video games, complete shit
>>720394343you're lucky, I fucked up his questline and didn't even get his name
>>720394180no lol
>>720394103Go recruit an NPC to help you, or cheese with tools
Are the last 3 crests with Eva or will I find them as I go further in Act 3?
>>720391437>finding him terrified for his life in Whiteward and him nervously tinging while I fight off undead bugsI will defend this little fella to the death
>>720394180witch + injector + claw mirrors is pretty fun, basically your heal gets replaced by thread storm
>>720394180noall the items suck, the biggest "combo" is seeing how blue slot poison tool interacts with flea brewi know of gimmicks like scuttlebrace ignoring the spikes and overdosing on lifeblood by crafting extra with architect crest, but they are not even combos
>>720394238filtered
>>720394368I don't need a silk room, I need closer placement to the boss so I don't have to deal with this shitty masochistic area, silk isn't what's keeping me from beating this shitty ass boss its just everything surrounding it
>>720394421>last 3 crestsdamn dude you missed not one but TWO crests in act 2
>>720394421There's only one Act 3 exclusive crest and none are from EvaI can tell which you're likely missing if you wish
>>720394421None of them have anything to do with her, at least not to unlock them
Weavelight my beloved ~Thoughts on Wavelight? I never took it off.
>>720392914You do get a blue slot tho
>double jump is kind of just there for you to pick up whenever you like>not even a boss>just a piss easy platforming segment>completely unceremoniousI... uh... okay.
>>720390035Am I the fucking GOAT? What a fun arena
>>720392791Just switch to Architect and spam tools the instant the two big fuckers spawn at the end.
>>720394540's alright
>>720394540It just increases the silk heart regen its not good
>>720394557>Am I the fucking GOAT?>cogflieslolno
>>720394540completely useless outside of grapple challenges. does literally nothing in combat
i beat her without using tool and wanderer :)i'm proud of myself
>>720394584means you can spam needle throw and you've quickly got access to silk powers when you've got all 4 silkhearts.
>>720393924>he didn't find the npc that marks them for you
>>720394540good for sections where you grapple a lot cause it lets you just spam it constantly, other than that it sux
>>720394549wouldn't want a boss that rewarded something too big now would we
>>720394540It's garbage everywhere in the game except in clockwork core, Mount Fay and the Surface climb
>>720394549>whenever you likeYou have to go through the prison.
>>720394604What's wrong with them? They're cute. And I just got them too
>>720394540>wasting a precious blue slot on a marginal platforming crutchnigga your price/performance? did you not find any other blues?
>>720392671Top 5 boss fights so far for sure. I'm only in act 1 though
>>720394618>more than 5 HPYou didn't beat her
>>720391881>doesn't know about the insta kill if you use bombs after he eats you
>>720394549>piss easyFunny that people were saying it was this game's Path of Pain
>>720394618I'm a cuck I'm a cuck I'm a cuck I'm a cuck I'm a cuck I'm a cuck I'm a cuck I'm a cuck I'm a cuck I'm a cuck I'm a cuck I'm a cuck I'm a cuck I'm a cuck I'm a cuck
>silicone pad in controller worn out>buttons get stuck>impossible to do platforming sections>will need to borrow controller from a friend and that's not until tomorrowI'm only in act 2, just sad I don't get to talk about ending and lategame yet
>>720394628I have got them marked, but I can't find any way to get to some of the marks, and searching is no longer fun
>>720394549Too many many other moments in this game were far more annoying/hard to end with oh a bundle of stones.
>>720394702yeah phantom is a kino fight
>>720394493>>720394497Forgot to count Architect, so I actually am missing 2. I wouldn't mind a hint on where I can find the other Act 2 Crest.
How in the fuck do I get to this goddamn flea? I've been all around it in all directions and can't find shit, including inside the exhaust organ.
>>720394702Phantom was probably my favorite boss in the game, felt like a classic HK fight without all the add bullshit that Silksong is obsessed with.
>>720394680I got it and never went to prison. You just go through the slab. There's an entrance to the west of Choral Chambers. Also you can go to prison "whenever you like", assuming you don't kill the cagers.
>>720394816>including inside the exhaust organ.You didn't look hard enough then
>>720394816get inside the organ, there's a secret exit. alternatively, wait until you get the super jump
>>720390296>>720390409>>720390679It's not even really hidden. There is a HUGE gap both underneath and behind the planks. Why wouldn't one check and assume that there would likely be something behind them? Maybe not a bench, I'll admit. But you'd assume there would be something. And then you'd find the bench.
>>720394132Quirrel would be good too
>>720394802find the annoying baby in the cancer shitfuck zonetake it to the npc who wouldn't shut the fuck up about birth and rebirth
I despise everything else about Silksong, but Sherma is my bro. Keep banging that chime, little dude.
>>720390035>Just beat Mother Silk and got the normal endingbros tell me that there's an ending where laze survives I want her to be happy
>>720390035where the fuck is the map for the library
>>720394924lollmao;_;
>>720394924go get the true ending you dumb Akoposter
I found an area called sinner's road but it feels like it's a late game area, should I leave until after I reach the citadel?
>>720394259Gunned for The Mist > Nail Upgrade 2 > Trobbio > Clawline > Vaultkeeper's Cylinder > Any order for the other two melodies > Lace 2 > End BossThere's a lot of room for error, you can take a very brief detour early in the Marrow to grab a craftmetal so you can get Cogfly during the descent in the High Halls. Parry carries pretty hard for the arenas
>>720394734that shit let me finish 4 bosses at 1 hp, i love it
>>720394346Same. It's fun but it's shit.
>>720394540If you combine this with egg of flealia and volt filament, you have a self-sustaining battery of skill spam if you retain full health
>>720394996If you can get through it, do it, if you can't, feel free to leave
I just unlocked the door in the starter area and upgraded the Hunter crest and now I'm confused. What did it actually change? I didn't notice anything different. Also how do I know when I'm ready for another upgrade?
>>720394006Cringe.
>>720394996If you reach it, you can be there
I can't fucking do it, juggle bros. Had a run to 27 with beast crest and then beefed it. I think it's just rng, that good run i had I don't think i ever had a situation where the fleas were on opposite sides of the area completely. beast is also ass because it's dash attack WILL get you DQ'd so idk how i even go that far with it
>>720394540I like it, the fact that it gives +1 silk heart is really nice
>>720395117Not true for The Mist.
>>720394996explore it now dudethe boss fight you access through that area is kino
>>720395056Use memory lockets, I also don't know in what way is stronger, I feel like it wouldn't be damage
>>720394540based>can use silk ability after just 2 hits>can spam hook infinitely>hook into basic attack twice -> retreat - > silk ability = ebin
>>720395056>what did it actually changeAdded a focus gauge. It fills up as you hit enemies and empties when you take damage. If you fill it up all the way you do more damage.>how do I know when I'm ready for another upgrade?The upgrades are dependent on number of memory lockets used. Expand your crests bro.
I used to shit on this game at the start, but ever since Act 2, it's been exponentially more fun.Probably because I got gud and have more masks to sacrifice, and the enemies at the citadel actually drop some money.I really don't know why Act 1 is so punishing. Like, they should've just done what HK did with the infected crossroads: Make the beginning areas easy and then add the 2-damage-dealing enemies after act 2.Anyway, fuck Niggerwater, fuck Niggroal.
the escape from the abyss made me unistall
>>720395159You only need the needolin to solve it right? can you reach before that?
>>720395159>he doesn't know
>>720395056it gives hunter crest a new mechanic to compete with the other crests and their various perksif you hit enemies you build up a little meter in the top rightwhen it's full you do more damageif you get hit it resets
>>720394623>4 silkheartsH-huh?? I thought there were only 3...
>>720394996try at least getting the nail upgrade. I did it 99% of area except of the boss with my base nail and it's quite tedious
just beat act 3im kind of dissapointed by the final boss i expected something cooler than just lace again but blackim a bit of a brainlet, i cant fully understand some plot points, so if anyone could enlighten me:this one might be dumb but why did mother silk kidnap weaver halfbreds? i dont get iti get that hornet wants to save lace but why did the void try to destroy pharloom if knight is in charge?whats the deal with snails why did they all disappear / die after hornet dreams and why did their shells looks so worn suddenly
>>720391881I was struggling a lot until I figured out you just have to jump in the water, he can't really do anything to you, just watch out he dives
>>720394584>It just increases the silk heart regen its not goodIt also doubles as an additional silk heart. And faster silk regeneration is very good. It means that even if you heal at the minimum possible silk needed to do a heal, setting you back at 0 silk. You'll actually get back to a minimum of 4 silk within shortly even if you don't get any strikes in. And if you do get a strike in afterwards, you'll be at 5 instead of 1 or 2. It also means that if you don't have enough for a silk skill, within a moment you'll have enough. >>720394615>completely useless outside of grapple challenges. does literally nothing in combatIt makes mistakes a lot less grievous since it's a lot easier to get back into action from 3 or 4 silk than from 0 or 1 silk. Having a stable and reliable minimum silk supply is not bad at all. And as said above. It means you'll always have access to silk skills without forcing you to hit the enemy. >>720394659>It's garbage everywhere in the game exceptHow so?
>>720395320Granny....
>>720395270>the (best part of the game) made me uninstall
This is the real good indie game. I don’t know what bullshit I have been playing in the past five years
>>720395278Where do you even get the Needolin again, I'm trying to work out how I got it and thought I had to do The Mist and somehow missed Blasted Steps but I've completely forgotten
>>720395370>It also doubles as an additional silk heart.did not know this. that explains why my minimum regen kept randomly changing throughout the entire game
>>720395343she took weavers because she was still weak and not fully "awakened" after the weavers sealed her long ago, she needed more silk to fully awaken or whatever
>>7203951191. Use Wanderer, and I say this as someone who dislikes Wanderer. Attack speed is the most important factor.2. As a rule of thumb, always try to hit fleas from the same side. You influence their direction with you hit them. Vertical attacks will redirect a flea after 1 or 2 hits, while lateral attacks will immediately redirect them but are more time-consuming the properly position.For example, if two fleas spawn on opposite sides of the stage, first left, then right, hit the first flea from the inside (right side), and then rush to hit the second flea from the outside as well (right side).3. Try to minimize the amount of time you spend jumping, use jumping to control your momentum.I'm going back to jerking off, good luck.
>>720395332I'm 90% through act two and I'm pretty sure there's only the one you get from the bell beast. those two empty slots are there to taunt you
>>720395449Widow
>all the higher beings have a cool bug motif going on>silkma is just Womanfuck’s sake, Team Berry
>>720395449Is the widow fight, after wall climb
>>720395449It's the reward from the Widow fight
>>720395370>It also doubles as an additional silk heart.This actually changes everything, that's pretty good.
Feel like I'm taking this game incredibly slow. I've only just hit Greymoor and anons are posting 100% completion and spoilers are rife on YouTube with people even starting to do lore videos albeit low quality ones
>>720395524>all the higher beings have a cool bug motif going onwhite lady is a tree bro
>>720395524scariest creature of them all
are there any areas exclusive to act 3?
Finally beat the game. The last boss kicked my ass for hours.
what am i supposed to do here
architect has a big ass
>>720395623yes
>>720395523>>720395534>>720395545And you can go to Blasted Steps before you get wall jump right but you'd need it to go up, I must have thought it was a dead end for some reason, probably cause I'm an idiot
>>720395609Just do it at your own pace. The game is quite long anyway
>>720395343>this one might be dumb but why did mother silk kidnap weaver halfbreds? i dont get itBecause weaver fullbreeds were extinct or at least nowhere to be found. It wasn't by choice, but rather they were running out of options.>i get that hornet wants to save lace but why did the void try to destroy pharloom if knight is in charge?Because while the knight cares for us, and presumably other life, the knight isn't actually in control. The knight just carries a lot of influence over the void, but is neither not omnipresent nor omniscient. Make note that even in Hollow Knight, while your shade and shade brothers will stop harming you after you've obtained the void heart, the vicious void sea will still lunge at and harm you.
>>720395343imo all of the stuff with lace is kind of retardedlike she's got some kind of complex about gm silk not loving her and loving hornet more, then she saves hornet, and gets trapped but then for some reason gm silk loves lace so much suddenly that she's able to survive in the void (???) to protect her and for some reason her living in the void is making everything worse? and when you rescue lace, gm silk is just fine with dying at that point and lets the void kill her? it's a messalso they needed way more silk in this game if she was going to be that plot relevant. fight her once in deep docks, talk once at the citadel, and they don't see her again until act 2 boss and her astral projecting or whatever when you see the abyss. idk what they were thinking with that, she should've been showing up constantly in act 2 to talk if they wanted me to care about her
>>720395623only two
>>720395613and bugs live on roots, what about it? You get my point.
>>720395645Come back in act 3
>>720395645Come back later with the boomerang tool.
>>720395661nature's breeding mount
>>720391019>>720391294>got witch'd>no idea what to do>accidentally talk to an npc in bellhart and he starts giving me hints about how to cure iti'm guessing this will filter so many people
>>720395506>always try to hit fleas from the same side. You influence their direction with you hit themah, good to know, figured it was just random
>>720395119shaman+longclaw for mehit the fleas (relatively) late when they are appearing from the side, and jump up to hit them preemptively when they are bunched up in the middle
WHERE DASHMASTER
Can I buy pale rosaries somewhere? I saw an anon with a bunch of them
>>720395718wait that one last point is not true at all, when you get voidheart, water stops attacking you too, also, this
>collecting 100% in act 3>it’s sad maybe I should just stop at act 2
>>720395645Someone said that you can spam the boomerang tool on this to get an upgrade, but I don't know if trueIn Act 3 it gets replaced by 4 targets and hitting all of them with a single boomerang throw gets an upgrade, and this IS true, done it myself.
>>720395748she hates her mom more than she hates you. Keeping you from her is pretty much her plan. I agree that she’s ass for the finale though. It’d be like fighting Hornet but infected at the end of Hollow Knight or something
Wait. So almost no anon actually knew how weavelight worked? I thought it was common knowledge.
>>720394557No, that arena should take like 2 tries max.There is a silk ability that utterly trivializes it too.
>>720395758so i guess it's just the abyss and the cradle?
>>720395748>like she's got some kind of complex about gm silk not loving her and loving hornet more, then she saves hornet, and gets trapped but then for some reason gm silk loves lace so much suddenly that she's able to survive in the void (???) to protect her and for some reason her living in the void is making everything worse? and when you rescue lace, gm silk is just fine with dying at that point and lets the void kill her? it's a messI'm also confused by this entire plotline, it makes no sense.
>>720395912>when you get voidheart, water stops attacking you too, also, thisOh fuck, you're right. I forgot about that. But either way. He just has influence over void that's close to him. There wasn't really anything to imply that he was one with all void that exists no matter when or where.
>>720395220>>720395257>>720395295Cool. Thanks. Is Hunters crest the only one that gets upgraded or can you upgrade other ones? Or is it just getting the free extra slots after the that?
>>720396010Lost Verdenia
>>720396061shit
>>720392202>use tools>no shards because I used them on toolsSo every five attempts I have to spend half an hour grinding shards and rosaries to buy shardsBloodborne 2 but somehow this feels worse
Is reaper ez mode? I only play with reaper because I get>super far reach, can kill bosses safely>ez pogo, more safety>a lot of silk generation>balanced amount of tools, charms etc
>>720395718Lore master, do you know about the silk hearts? You get one from lace, but the other 2 are with 2 random creatures in the world
>>720395623do gay bug questlinenothing points this out but a new area opens to the right of the bird house arena
>>720396059hunter is the only one to get upgraded. you get vesticrest upgrades and then one final upgrade that's neither of those.
jumping out of a run feels terrible
>>720396107I use reaper myself but they all say wanderer is the easy mode
>>720395506got to 40 on my second try after getting this advice a shot. thank you, based coomer anon
>>720395748I don't know what's the deal with her protecting Lace but she uses her connection she has to the silk in the kingdom to push the Void outwards towards there, you see it in the cutscene I think with the Void travelling up the silk tethers and it's probably why the boss fight is in some kind of bubble instead of pure void, that's how she survives and why it's fucking everything up there
>>720394320What do you mean cancel ? Cause she didnt end up jumping over the mob ?
>>720390035Wtf is that runback to the boss in Sands of Karak?? Are you fucking kidding me??>finish platforming segment>open shortcut>now only need to go through a slightly less difficult platforming section to reach the arenI know it's my fault for even dying to that shit boss, but goddanmit.
>>720396096Yea this made me not use tools much. Shard farming is tedious and a bad mechanic.
Let’s just admit it Garmond died because he is a guy
>>720396261I guess it's more of a hookline combo desu
>>720396272use your grapple hook. It's piss easy
>>720395748anons were joking about hornet the black female protagonist, but silksong's story does reek of feminist wankliterally the last dialogue hornet has before the end is about how she will finish lace, voided or not, to prevent further ruinbut then lace got unvoided somehow and also hornet decided that she feels bad
I got to the area above Bilehaven, but now I'm stuck. All I found was the giant dude asking for meat. Is there anything else up here? Am I retarded?
>>720395685At my pace I'll be done when DLC starts dropping
I'm playing the first game for the first time and the walks back to the bosses keep demoralising me. Are the checkpoints better in Silksong?
>>720396430ahahahahahahaha
>>720396236Hornet mentions that GM Silk can survive in the Void because she's making a cocoon of silk as fast as the Void can consume it, but it's a losing battle. I think this means the Void is free to hijack the silken threads across the kingdom and uses those to spread, it's not GM is doing herself.
>>720391881He actually has very little HP for a boss that far into the game. Attacking him with the nail is incredinly annoying because he either do the swallow attack or move slightly to cause you contact damage, so i just spammed tools untill it died.
How long is act 3, should I be exploring around before going in the diving bell?
>>720396430They are worse
>>720395370It works on the low end where you're playing against attrition and at late game where you're using a no-hit shaman playstyle
damn, that took a bit
>>720396430HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH MY SIDES OH NONONONONONO HAHAHAHAHA IM GONNA PEE HAHAHAHAHA
>>720394874>>720394858I swear to god I already checked that wall four fucking times.
>>720391437whatever his bug butthole is I need to fill it with thick cum
>>720396473You get your last movement upgrade doing the diving bell, so no.
>>720396324>Garmond died because he is a guy100%. Every straight male is useless or destined to die, every woman is a stronk girlboss in a position of power. It gets even worse when you consider the Void = Male, Silk = Female interpretation of the plot, where men are literally keeping women down and using women's power for their own ends.
yeah wait how *did* lace get unvoided? lol
When you purchase the flea map, is it one flea at a time or one area at a time?
>>720396332It's not that difficult once you get the shortcut, but it's still blind platforming (can't see the next step before making the jump) and the worms in the sand deal two damage.
>>720396453>>720396478>>720396496oh no
>put off broodfeast quest until very end of the game because I assume it'll be super tedious>it's actually easy as fuck and I get it done in 5 minutes just farming the pondskeeters in shellwood>reward is fucking amazingwhat a pleasant surprise
Does Long Nail affect Shaman Crest?
>>720396585idk everything related to the ending is a bummeri was having a lot of fun but the end left a sour taste on my mouthgay title screen with lace and hornet weapons together is the cherry on top
After reaching the Citadel do you now use the pneumatic tubes for fast travel, as in nothing there is connected to Act 1 maps anymore?
>>720394816There a room with a silk spool with an exit to the left.
>>720395950you have to notice the extra bit it gives (why doesn't the description mention it at all i don't know), and the frantic pace doesn't really work well with capitalizing on "extta" regenerated silk during combat
>>720396591Area
>>720396585power of love or some shit
SEX WITH MOTHER SILK AND RADIANCE AND WHITE LADY AND
>>720396494No one tell him.
>>720396576>i will interpret the plot in a hyperspecific way that makes me mad>WTF WHY IS THIS PLOT MAKING ME MADwhy are you like this
>>720396236then why don't we kill GM silk down in the void? we just take lace and fuck off. what about taking lace makes gm silk decide to just let itself die
>>720396748Thank you anon
>shakra's quest Damn that actually made me feel something. The ending to that was beautiful. What a great questline. Shakra is a great character
Do i have to win 10 in a row for the dice wtf.....
>>720396401there'll be something there later
>that fucking enemy gauntlet in Far fields that requires the grapling hook moveFuck that I'm not doing that until I get the double jump.
How do you get this flea?
>>720396591It's probably per flea since I bought the citadel map for 80 and other smaller areas for more.
>>720396107>wandererclassic pogo and quick slash>architectembracing your pale king heritage and spamming buzzsaws
Just need more 2 achievements, monsterpedia and steel soul 100%. For the ST100 I will have to plan a route and take it really slow so for now I think I'm done with Silksong, at least for a while.
>>720390870Have you tried asking lace for help?
>>720396823a dlc of Shakra that takes 7 years to make and takes place in a different kingdom when?
>>720396697yeah
Is there anything you MUST do before Act 3? I know I'm missing stuff still, but have done all the major shit like quests
>>720396879go to the top of greymoor and look for fake ceilings
>>720396576My nigga Sherma is the best bug in this entire hellhole
>>720396949it's really too bac that the architect moveset sucks ass
>>720396576It do be like that in the insect world.
>>720396714the tubes are only within the citadel, so you'll still spend plenty of time going to Eyra for rides.
>hey Hornet, I want to duel you to test my might>dump 10 poisoned cogflies and sting traps around herHope she liked the duel
>>720396965>10 hours a day since release
>>720396823>Shakra's questIs this some Dark Souls bullshit where you have to talk to an npc three times to trigger the correct dialogue or something? I see no sign of progression in Shakra's endeavor.
>>720396985There's a section to the left I forgot to explore, thanks anon.
>>720396984You literally can't get the Cursed Child ending if you do the Witch Crest questline during act 3. I think that's it though.
>>720396976alright, i tried to compare with and without and couldn't notice a difference, the beams seemed to hit the same ranges, but i'm not the best at judging things like that.
>>720396984>fight garmond >fight shakra >talk to architect
>>720397072pretty sure you just have to progress far enough into the game
>>720397070It's more actually, I did a few rollbacks on my first save a couple times
>>720396470Maybe but it's her connection that let's them get in I think, the Void can't just invade whenever it wants and didn't just wait for her to be weak right?>>720396813I think the only reason she's holding onto the connection is because it protects Lace, once Hornet rescues her she cuts it off and let's it take her over completely, Hornet probably could just kill her down there but she wants to save Lace, seems a bit stupid that she'd know she'd willingly let herself die afterwards but maybe there was no way she was getting back at allI might be completely wrong but I think it's a good enough interpretation as anything
>>720391437FARI DULA SIMANETDONIPWA NA VOLINET PINASOMI MANI SET DANA FONGSHU LOOOBUNG https://youtu.be/XOmW7gm25_8?si=6aanVE_7buNM4qGbSHADELORIAAA
>>720389183The drill doesn't rebound when it hits him, it does massive damage to his ass. I set spikes on him, then spammed the drill when I knew it was going to hit him and focused on dodging his moves. Tools make quick work of it but most people don't even bother with tools to begin with.
>>720396813First off granma gives the last of her power to Hornet so she can escape wit Lace, and second she was only keeping herself alive stuck in there because Lace was also here.
>>720397092>You literally can't get the Cursed Child ending if you do the Witch Crest questline during act 3I thought you got locked out of that entering act 3?
>only missing 1 mask part and 1 spool and have no clue which ones they arefuck me...
>>720396576Are you gonna call real life woke because female spiders and mantises eat their mate after coitus now? In the bug world, females are always queen because they're all about reproduction, that's why there are ant queens and queen bees and not ant kings and king bees.
>>720397092Got the Witch quest already>>720397109How do you fight Garmond/Shakra?He's sitting in First Shrine and I did her quest
I left Choral Chambers via Grand Gate and for some reason the access to Underworks has been blocked and I can't figure out how to climb back up. What the hell?
DIE YOU WORTHLESS FAT FUCKING FROG, FUCK YOU AND YOUR RUNBACK

>>720397407I don't know about Garmond, Shakra should have a post you can hit to call her just at the east exit of Bellhart.
where the fuck is the whispering vaults map
>>720397016regular attack is no different from basic hunter slash, and downward attack gives the opportunity to stall in mid-air for a bit
>>720397351>maskProbably the sprinter quest>spoolThere's one under the Whiteward(?) lift and another needing Surgeon Key, if you're like me it's probably one of those two.
>>720391003Looks like one of the Bilewater niggers. I wonder if we'll get a "past" sequence for the DLC, Groat was said to be a knight.

>>720397590You need to get inside from below.
>>720397590The fast travel ball pit below you
>>720397442yes, I have zone in the map discovered too so it's something I already passed by I guess >>720397537surgeon key? I don't have that, that's probably it
>>720397505Top right I think. Its one of those model things where you just buy the map.

>find new gauntlet in the vaults in act 3 with a bunch of little singing dudes>clear it>no rewarduh... okay
>shakra fight holy fuck she's fast how am I supposed to beat her
>>720397554My only advice is to either get the fuck out of there until you have the maggot shit people are talking about or slowly but surely get used to his moveset up until the point where you can just dive into the maggot lake to dodge since you don't need to heal, only spend the silk to deal damage until its fucking dead, but as you can see I was almost dead in the picture I posted, its not easy>>720397648I guess that's part of the reason why there's a lore item after you beat him, I wanted something that actually helps me but what can you do, this game is just fucking CBT over and over again
>>720397439Are tou dumb, anon? He's not a frog, it's a fatass mosquito, his head is at the center and those green bubbles are no his eyes.

>>720397885I'm also missing 1 shard but still 2 spools to go after the 2nd whiteward one
>>720395748>but then for some reason gm silk loves lace so much suddenly that she's able to survive in the void (???) to protect her and for some reason her living in the void is making everything worse?Granny Silk always loved Lace. That was neither new nor sudden. In fact much was sacrificed for Lace's sake. Not necessarily for Pharloom's greater benefit, but at least for Lace's subsistence. And though Lace surely harbours some affection for her mother and isn't just full of spite or hatred or anything. Considering how Lace was described as living as a guardian of Pharloom, even if at the detriment to most of its citizens, but presumably in order to live up to the role given to her by her mother. Presumably to please her or make her proud. But evidently. It's also obvious that Lace wasn't happy. Felt stifled and restricted by said role. Or eve Pharloom at large. And she felt her instable existence to be harrowing and dreadful, and further demoralized by her senior sibling's much worse state. In short it's clear that Lace and Silk did not understand each other. And though Silk loves Lace, Lace wanted to be "free" however that was to be defined. So it's clear that there was already tension between Lace and Silk even before Hornet's arrival. But Hornet's capture does escalate things. It appears like Lace is assuming that Silk might be aiming to replace her with Hornet, similarly to how the other weavers were replaced by Phantom and Lace. Since Hornet is special. A weaver like Lace's predecessors, but also a pale being like Silk herself. So it seems like Lace simultaneously harboured resentment towards Hornet from the get go. And probably even jealousy since Hornet was "free". But it also seems like Lace kind of enjoyed how Hornet were shaking things up and destabilizing Silk's order, which would align with Lace's rebellious desires.
Now post EVA porn
>>720398142>>720395748And when Lace saves Hornet from Silk, she outright claims that was her final act of rebellion, but it makes sense since the act robs Silk of Hornet, as if Lace wouldn't let Silk to have her. Saving Hornet's life, instead sinking to her doom alongside her mother. So that instead of Hornet being claimed, she'd be the only one to run free, with Silk falling. And Lace already felt doomed, she presumably didn't feel much resistance to the idea of falling down with her. Hornet's actions towards Lace also make a fair amount of sense I'd claim. Not only did Lace save Hornet's life, so to some degree she probably feels a bit indebted. But more than that I imagine that Hornet likely feels some degree of kinship with Lace. Both Hornet and Lace are the princesses of their respective kingdoms. Both are daughters of pale beings, who have lived long, cursed existences not by their own choice. And since Hornet is hopeful unlike the doomer Lace, she likely wants to believe that Lace can be saved just like she'd like to hope that she herself could live true. That's my take on it all at least. Seems plausible to me. Makes sense I'd say. Don't know if I missed or misinterpreted something, but the way I understand it I am not particularly confused.
>>720397836I'll answer wrongly
