>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.

Yeah that's what I thought. Playing the floor is lava(cause it is) with a bunch of flying cunts who want to fly just out of reach is not fun but at least the double jump would optimise air time. I also think I'll wait until I get the oil from the capital too.
>>
>>720395748
>>720398287
And 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.

I beat her using the memory shard and a bunch of the bug summons and tacks.
I fully rested at the hot spring to fill up silk then just let her kill herself on my clones (I intentionally took 1 damage attacks at times to get the memory shard clones out) and focused on dodging with only a cheeky hit here and there.

question lorebros
was lace laughing or crying in the finale?

my personal interpretation is she was crying or holding back tears through whimpered laughter because while she did despise silk, she still wanted her affection and she only realized that in the very end when her mother sacrificed herself to save her
or am i offbase and she was just laugjing because shes a broken psycho

There simply aren't that many things you can't access on first approach in act 1. Sounds like you're marking stuff for later that you could do now if you looked around a bit more.

Honestly I feel like the trick is to just not panic. I just tried it, got hurt retardedly, tried again, and then did it. I'm pretty sure I also didn't take any gimmicky secret route or anything, I just ran left through Shellsomething and then up where the evil white flowers are, then up the blasted steps. I even got hit twice and I did it with time to spare. They were really generous with this one, all things considered.

Please bros tell me the best tools/crests to deal with multiple enemies/adds, I know I'm bad at the game and old and retarded but I fucking can't follow the erratic movements of multiplle enemies on screen, I get filtered at the beastfly which has the most pathetically telegraphed attacks and I take zero hits until it starts spwaning trash mobs, I get filtered at the fucking crow room where I can't keep track of those niggers flying randomly while the other one throws knives.
Zero issues platforming and pogoing everywhere, and minimal death to single bosses, and yet I can't see tow attack patterns at the same time.

so the third game would be about lace right?
>>
>>720398658
Laughing I am pretty sure. Probably because she is now free.
Losing her mother might be bitter sweet, but remember that she drew the blade on her mother first. A rebellious and maybe hasty act sure, but Lace was feeling stifled by Pharloom's haunting and the curse of her being. And her mother was at the core of it all.

But I am basing this read primarily on how I think the sound sounds a fair bit more like laughter than crying. But I'll admit that the sounds be surprisingly similar at times and I wouldn't confidently claim that it couldn't be crying. Just doesn't sound like it to me.

makes no sense. makes slightly more sense the other way, not walking SILK to have HORNET because she's jealous of hornet, but even that is done because they'd both be doomed to the void anyway and it's not like lace gives a shit about saving pharloom

also didn't address why gm silk having lace with her lets her live in the void and ruin the kingdom, but taking lace away without even finishing off silk somehow resolves the issue

Hey lads, I'm back. Took the week off /v/ to avoid spoilers, went through the entire game almost completely blind. I just had to look up how to get to Act 3 because it felt very arbitrary. And those last fleas were a pain to find. Overall greatest thing I've got spoiled on was the name, but that's fine. Clocked out at 61 hours and 89% completion, I'll probably use a guide for the rest. I think it's my GOTY.

Thematically for true tragedykino, Lace should be crying there. But yes, we only ever hear her laugh and it sounds very muck like her giggles.

But then again, Team Cherry made Sherma sing scared in Whiteward if you Needolin'd him. So I think while she was laughing there's a hint of sadness with how subdued it sounded. Not haughty or victorious but the anon is right more bittersweet.

That is to say, if Lace looked like a himan she'd be laughing but there'd be some hint of tears forming at the corner of her eye I reckon.

Silk singlemindedly loves Lace. Lace being there made her use all of her power to create a coccoon to hold back the Void for as long as possible to keep Lace alive.

It resolves the issue because at the end Hornet saves Lace and Silk gives Hornet the strength needed toe scape the Abyss. All she wanted was to save her daughter.

>not walking SILK to have HORNET because she's jealous of hornet
That's what I meant though. Maybe it wasn't clear, but I was referring to Hornet with 'her'.

>also didn't address why gm silk having lace with her lets her live in the void and ruin the kingdom, but taking lace away without even finishing off silk somehow resolves the issue
I mean. The void falls off of Lace because we quite literally beat it off of her. If left alone she would have surely been consumed again.
And Silk managed to keep Lace alive in the void the very same way she kept herself alive. Partially shielded in the silk cocoon, and with the pale might of her divine silk.
And when escaping, why would Silk be in any immediate danger? They escaped void free thanks to the flower and thanks to little bro. Without someone to supply Silk, Lace would surely fade in time though. But presumably Hornet would be able to do so herself, since she is apparently one of few rare (final?) beings with a silk heart that can produce silk. And for what it matters, Hornet's silk is presumably better than most weaver's silk, thanks to being part pale. Probably making her silk closer to Silk's silk than other silk.
Who the fuck knows if Hornet can actually do it though or if it's easy or difficult. Either way, it's not as if Lace would instantly crumble without Silk. She'll just fade in time and I don't think we can surmise how fast or slow of a process that'd be without her being sustained with fresh silk.

my point was if the kingdom is fucked up in act 3 because gm silk is living so long in the void, then why does taking lace away from silk the void solve that problem. but i guess with you and some other people in this thread i'm buying that there's more evidence that gm silk really loves lace and without having lace in the void with her, maybe she'd give up and let herself die to save the kingdom

still feel like the main story needed more lace and more focus on lace/gm silk's relationship put in your face rather than in side lore dumps

Well that was easy. Beat shakra again with hunter what a fun fight.

I probably will keep hunter on for a bit though because it's just nice being able to one shot enemies with max focus and barbed bracelet

Silk made the weavers by transforming common bugs.
Weavers betrayed her because they realized they were fake creations.
Silk felt betrayed and enraged so she screwed over all the weavers and turned them into cows to milk thread from.
From that thread she made Lace and Phantom.
Lace was created to perpetually be a child.
Silk kept the entire kingdom running just to supply Lace with thread and keep her alive which Lace hated.
Hornet was captured just so she could be milked

>then why does taking lace away from silk the void solve that problem
Oh that's simple.
1. Because Silk downright gives Hornet the last of her being in order to assist Hornet to escape the void. And even if some of Silk was to remain, Silk would have no reason to resist the futilely anymore. The only reason she did so at all was to protect Lace for as long as possible. Nothing ever suggested she'd fight and thrash so hard for so long just to save her own skin. She did it for Lace. Futhter reinforced by how she downright sacrifices herself to power up Hornet.
So of course the issue is resolved. The void threads were going bananas across the kingdom because Silk was fighting the void. But if Silk is no more, then it would follow that it would cease.

Pale King is definitely a more compelling character and is more straightforward. And the Radiance is just a straight up clearcut bad guy.

Mother Silk and Lace's story are less in your face and you really need to poke around to figure shit out. But now that I've stewed over it more, I like the conclusion just as much but I can see why others might not feel the same.

Hornet's character arc is great though and my favorite part of the game.

>>720401016
I genuinely think Silksong has what I would call "bad Metroidvania design". It doesn't funnel you well, it lets you go to terrible dead ends and then be forced to go back because you don't have the right thing yet. The design has more in common with Dark Souls 1 than something like Super Metroid. A good Metroidvania doesn't even need mapmarkers because it's tightly designed enough that you never have the problem of "running by a bunch of cans and waiting to get the can opener".

I don't mean to be overly harsh to the game, I like it, but it and HK are not great Metroidvanias, they are great sidescrolling open-world RPGs.

>>720401463
This entire criticism feels like it's rendered completely redundant by the fast travel and dash which make getting in and out of areas a complete walk in the park. The game gives you more then enough tools to make it easier. To the point that I'd genuinely say HK itself is worse for your criticism than Silksong is because of how lacking in movement options the Knight is.
>>
wheres the best bell farming spot in act 2?
>>
>>720401463
I disagree, on a first playthrough Super Metroid loves slamming doors in your face and making you wandering blind - it's the one that invented map stations, not Hollow Knight. It seems fluid now because everyone knows the basic routing.

Hollow Knight isn't a great Metroidvania because it doesn't give you 11 billion health and get-fucked auto rockets which is kind of the fun of character progression based games.

Right on top of First Shrine. After you get the double jump it's an easy 200 rosaries in two minutes

Just find whatever high-rosary farm, it's 5 rosaries for 8 shards when buying shard packs. Almost certainly faster than farming shard mobs.
>>
>>720401463
most of the stuff you back track for all optional collectibles, boss fights, etc. super metroid absolutely makes you back track constantly if you want full completion or to get more missles/e-tanks/etc. Silk Song just puts way more content behind the back tracking to the point that it feels crazy to ignore that shit. but if you're going for the speedrun achievement or doing a steel soul run or just care about getting to the end, it really isn't that bad. plus you're never really that far from a fast travel point, it's not like super metroid where if you missed something down in lower norfair you have to walk all the way there

This is actually a great fucking comparison. HK was like Das1. Kinda janky, kinda small, pretty slow, but utterly full of soul. Fantastic worldbuilding and all these mysteries and crazy hints going on.
SS is very much like Das3/ER. The gameplay is much much better. But they're trying to do way too much, the story is a complete rehash, the world is too big for it's own good, and all the worldbuilding is surface level without introducing anything new.

Just like ER, I don't think I will ever replay SS. It's a good game but it just doesn't have the same focus and gets way too fucking tedious.
>>
>>720398831
once you beat coliseum of birds you can climb to the top of the area and get the gossimer storm from Hornet Hollow Knight. It stunlocks and 1hkos a lot of adds in an aoe.
Also finish the polyp quest in shellwood to get an item that lets you melt through normal enemies with your tools.
>>
>>720401663
it's the connection room between hunters march and deep docks. it gets blocked from the docks side after a certain point, thankfully you can at least unblock it from the Hunter's March side, which is an improvement compared to the first game, where the random blocked paths were just a big orange FUCK YOU.
>>
>>720402127
you gotta kill the boss and then go up. from there you're in the ducts, i think the way to the fast travel point needs you to hit some breakable walls on the way
>>
>>720402127
Oh you might be forced to go from the other entrance then.

Not even remotely true, Silksong is consistently good at either blocking off areas immediately if you don't have the right tools (Mount Fay, High Halls) or looping you around so you don't have to do massive backtracks like in Cogwork Core or in Bilewater where you go all the way around and reach the fast travel if you don't have double jump.

Instead of the typical case where your save goes back to right before the final boss, i really wish this game just had the world actually be cleansed and all the void shit removed. So you could have the ending and roll credits be hornet walking off into the distance

>>720403071
there is another, but each pale oil is another upgrade so you want to get both.

I personally find it really interesting how you have this godlike who desperately wanted children but couldn't have them normally.
Adopted children of her own and imbued them with her own power. Only for them to rebel. Making her change tactics and make her own children entirely from scratch, shaped by nothing but the very silk she shapes. And then these children too grows to resent her due to the impression of them not being true beings.

There are multiple steps and levels of desperation and obsession at play here. Yet with a sympathetic core that ultimately still has disastrous consequences.
And then I find it really interesting to have all the many individuals caught in these consequences, regardless of whatever motivations lies beneath it all.
Then you've got different individuals who have different yet incomplete pictures of the above puzzle, and it's interesting what different conclusions they draw.

That's what I think at least. And it also personally resonates with me a bit more since Pharloom's kingdom is actually alive (if falling) as opposed to having already fallen. It kind of raises the stakes you know.

What even are the conditions?
I got the quest like, the moment I finished the prior main quest. Pretty sure at least. It was very early at least.

Is that uncommon? I didn't even get the 'regular' ending since I foolishly did the other ending first. Naïvely assuming it would just be like when you fought Hollow Knight, and that the game would just reload you before the fight and allow you to do all other options afterwards. I didn't even know act 3 existed. I genuinely thought the game was ending.
Aside from the quest directly tied to the ending, I wasn't aware that there other conditions people apparently struggle with.

You can lock yourself out of the regular ending in Hollow Knight, too, so it's about the same.
Conditions aren't datamined, all we know it's all sidequest boards, about 20-25 fleas found with the caravan at the last place and a handful of other friendly NPC quests.

You need 2 for completion.

It took me ages to get that quest, although I don't remember the last time I checked Bellhart's notice board. Feels like you need to complete side quests, although whether its a specific set or just a number I dunno.

Nah theres another one - i think in the memorium hall in the citadel?

The amount of places where you can sprint uninterrupted is absolutely negligible. I spend the majority of time in this game cycling clawline and drifter's cloak across rooms.

Can you get locked out of any endings besides the curse one? Like if you do the mushroom one, are you locked out of the regular one or vice versa?

>You can lock yourself out of the regular ending in Hollow Knight, too
I suppose you can screw yourself out of the first ending.
But you aren't locked out of any of the others. Sealed Siblings and Dream no More is just the difference of whether or not you actually dreamnail the Hollow Knight and fight the radiance. No matter what ending you choose you can just return to the other. And the same is true for the flower or godhome endings.

It's not like Dream no More starts an entirely new act that erases all prior endings and fundamentally changes the entire game world.
The act3 stuff is exciting in its own way. But it certainly caught me very off guard.

Map Lady can be challenged east of Bellhart. Where the Flea Caravan would otherwise set up camp. So presumably you must have progressed them far enough ahead to have left Greymoor. I imagine.

There might be other conditions. Like buying X number of maps from her or something. But I don't know.
If you can duel her, there should be a ring on a stick where the Flea Caravan used to be.
