6-hour gauntlet anon here. Finally finished it after taking another break, then third tried the big nigga. He was a fun boss, too much health again but enjoyable. Absolutely no reason to put ANOTHER mini gauntlet before him though. It's done, 2 more hearts to go. I think I'm going to play some flea games for a while now...

Were you meant to fight Trobbio very early on? I'm late act 2 and steamrolled him with wanderer and 3 nail upgrades. Thought it was a fakeout, but nope, no phase 2.

Though he only pretends to be dead, when you walk away you can hear his pained breathing, and if you walk back he quickly assumes the dead pose again, which is hilarious. Please tell me he comes back later.

Also, the 2019 trailer has a scene where you fight vault keepers, I'm assuming this got cut?

I just rolled credits early like a retard because I walked into the cradle boss assuming I'd beat them and then unlock double jump for one final smaller area.
I don't even have a map for bile or slab yet. There's a mountain that freezes me and a haunted misty London place i didn't figure out yet. There's a scary crying baby in my inventory that won't shut up and three pieces of a mechanical heart.
I have no idea what i missed. My only wishes left are the stupid gourmand fag who i still need three ingredients for (including the horrible package delivery thing) and farming needles from those bugs for songclave.
I really thought I've done everything I can do besides those two wishes. I found and beat that Unravelled boss also.

I'm actually shard-broke as fuck right now thanks to the First Sinner, so I've got fuck all in the way of supplies.
But the poison saw is pretty good on them because it hits them repeatedly, and if they jump over it it it comes back for a round two from behind and hits them repeatedly.

I think it's the adult form of the little guys you encounter on the way up, you know the ones that don't explode into spikes.

Lace 2 is a fantastic fight. Did it without tools because I wanted it to feel pure.

It also made the next boss feel ridiculously easy by comparison.

I think it's extremely unlikely, closest we'll probably get is maybe a remix of Deepnest or White Palace, maybe if they play into more of that memory stuff we saw the Snail Shamans doing. I guess given they did spritework maybe if we're lucky we might finally get a Vespa boss fight.

Worst fights in the game imo are the fatass chef and the broodmother. Not worse as in hard, worse as in “this isn’t enjoyable”. I can’t speak on the Bilewater boss because I just killed him with a boomerang spam. He seems like he fits in this category though just on looks.

Act 3 bosses felt way easier than most bosses and I commented they felt like early game bosses that were put into Act 3 for some reason. And based on anon poasting trailer earlier it confirms those Act 3 bosses were created earlier in development. So maybe they were originally planned to be fought earlier in the game but then thought "oh we already used up all our good ideas better make some shit bosses and leave something cool for act 3"

Are you retarded? The whole point of the game is the Citadel. Act 1 is just the outskirts outside the Citadel, act 2 is the entirety of the Citadel (the citadel itself is almost as large as Act 1). Act 3 is completely dedicated to the Abyss and the destruction of the world by void. What is there not to understand?

honestly she deserves lower
her only redeeming quality is her status as the "use your fucking silk skill to deal with adds RETARD" tutorial boss

wouldn't make sense for lace to get her own game given one of the few traits she has is being 100% dependent on sucking hornet's silk straight from the spinneret to not fucking die

Eira means "Assemble" in the bug language or that's the closest translation as far as we know anyway. It might even be closer to "Gather" or "Come"

you get to act 3 by doing all the quests and getting enough fleas to relocate the circus to the final location. Also I think you need the bellhome. Just know that some of the quests necessary seem to be the random NPC ones out in the world that may be hard to find. You will need the double jump to navigate some of the areas too.
>>
>>720538132
If the boss can be staggered or is mostly static it does good dps.
>>
>>720538024
Your next stop is mount fey, west of the Slab. Then, get ready to get grindy because you're gonna be collecting every flea and doing every quest. Honestly just start googling shit at this point, priority #2 after mount Fey is getting the map of the fleas, and its hidden in a hidden area.

it's the same fight but less kino. what really pushes cogwork dancers into most people's S tier is phase 4 and the somber note the fight ends on.

Yes. Especially since I got into Hollow Knight late, last year, and have been hearing how people found it so easy because they'd been playing for years at that point.

Did we fight the same boss? Of her basic moves, she's only safe to hit when she does the dive kick or the tentacle attack. She is vulnerable when spitting out the black projectile stuff, but it's dependent on the big-spikes not guarding her. She's still a boring boss and Lost Lace is dishonest because she blends in with the big-spikes. It's hard to see her during the final phase. Lace is boring and her Lost Lace sprite needs to be brightened or given a white outline.

What retards convinced Team Cherry that down+jump to float was a bad idea?
I genuinely don't buy the idea that it was "unintended". It's not the kind of thing that just appears as a bug from a mistyped code line or whatever.

At best, "unintended", I can imagine would mean that there was some internal disagreement within the team. And that one part intended for it to be in the game, while another did not. But people claiming that it was a bug because the patch notes claimed the feature was "unintended" is insane.
It's also fucking insane that they removed it. Fucking hell.

I did really well against Karmelita.
I don't really get why people act as if it's the most difficult boss.
I struggled a lot more versus Lost Lace or even First Sinner or the Coral Tower gauntlet. So I'm not just bragging. I ate plenty of shit, just not versus Karmelita.

I'm pretty confident that I could learn to beat Karmelita no-damage pretty easily. Sadly the game auto-saves upon victory and it's a bit of an ask to replay all the way up to act 3 just to rematch her.
Hopefully we'll get the godhome equivalent sometime.

She could have just had been a unique NPC that had a unique secret quest that gave you a special reward.

Honestly I'm still enjoying act 3 but the sheer number of boss fights is starting to wear on me. Like I went to do the plant heart and there's a boss on the way to it so I thought "oh cool, I guess they're switching things up from the way the ant worked where getting the heart itself will be peaceful" but no, you just have to do a boss fight so that you can move 1 room over to enter a door to do another boss fight. The gameplay is great, the bosses are great, but I feel like some of the boss fights would have been better as optional bonus content rather than part of the critical path.

Why?
All her rewards are Crest related. Why shouldn't the conditions for the rewards be crest related too?
Maybe the game shouldn't have been so cryptic as to what the conditions actually are though. Very few seem to even realize that Eva just wants you to fully upgrade your (non-hunter) crests with the memory lockets.
But getting a reward for fully unlocking a crest is fine. And it kind of, at least to some extent, incentivizes you to at least make other crests "battle ready" so to speak. As opposed to sticking to a Crest for 90% of the game as most people do anyway.

The warning at the base of the mountain made it sound like doing it would trigger some sort of flag for the ending and I wanted to make sure I didn't miss whatever the basic ending was like you can in Hollow Knight, so I ended up doing the whole "endgame" without the double jump, and then acquiring it afterwards and feeling very silly.

Beastfly 2 was the first try for me. It only has two moves. Three horizontal tackles and three ground pounds.
And the two bugs it summons are just free silk.
I did not first try First Sinner. But it didn't take me too long to beat it either but I can't remember how many times I died. Lost Lace kind of fucked me real good for a good while though. I later realized she was a lot simpler than I made it out to be, but she still got me pretty good.

But Karmelita is honestly not that bad at all. Her projectiles are super easy to avoid and it's not even risky to do so. There are no feints to her huge sawblade spin since it just goes alongside the top every time. So you just dash into the middle and you're safe. Her long dash across the floor with the spikes behind her is also not really a big deal because she only ever starts to dash from the edges of the arena which would be away from you.
Perhaps the fact that I've never taken off the Silkspeed charm ever since I got it helped me a lot. Because whenever Karmelita started running, I'd just run too and I'm faster than her because goddamn Hornet is fast. And if you jump you can pogo off of either Karmelita herself and or the spikes she makes.

The only thing of hers that would get me were the pirouettes across the floor since they're rather sudden and can very easily and suddenly tackle you if you aren't careful or aware.
But. The easy way to avoid those is apparently just to remain elevated, be it by floating or on the walls. And then you just bounce on her when she initiates the spins or punish her when she finishes them.

I'm not trying to be some hardass or anything. But I really do think she is one of the simpler bosses.
Like for real. Stay floating in the middle of the screen and she has NO moves that will ever hit you. Except her thrown projectiles, and only from certain rare angles sometimes, because most of the time the projectiles won't even pass through the middle.

Thanks, found him in a secret room, I think this might be the only place he spawns in Act 3, I do remember seeing him before but I never killed him

He's through a door at the bottom of the core.

I still find the game overall a lot more engaging. So I still find it really fun.
But I agree that the game is genuinely easier. Which I find sad. I'd like the much more engaging gameplay with the added difficulty. You can have both and I wish we would have gotten it.

Hopefully DLCs will deliver. But the updates they're currently doing haven't instilled too much confidence.

I did that sometimes too. But you really don't even need to. If you float in the middle of the screen, as stated, nothing will hit you. So you can just jump over her projectiles towards the middle and you're safe. Not just from the projectiles but from whatever she does next.

The origibal HK had a lot of finetuning and balance for its first few patches

>>720541517
they should have had it for the samurai style cut-through execution animation that plays on bosses like Phantom and the Act 3 bosses.

Any tips for tormented torbio? The purple one.
This fight is a mess of overlapping ambiguous hitboxes and the asshole just won't stay still.

More saws.

>>720541264
I can't. P3 is a mess.

Act 3 is just shit that got cut from the regular game.
The ant boss and coral area were announced very early and they probably were part of act 1 in original plans.
I'm surprised the cut steel assassin wasn't also shoved into act 3.

I did this just earlier.
I didn't want to leave Zaza there...

I never even saw them use a cage in their attacks, I usually tried to kill them before they could do anything more than spit since they seemed to be special spawns so I assumed there was going to be some quest related to them.
>>
>>720542634
I didn't actually see that the enemy had a cage first either.
I actually tried to play the needolin for the cages, wondering if I could get some lore on what the cages had imprisoned if anything. But that gave the bug enough time to attempt to attack me with the cage. Which made me curious.

Same. It's like a little pre-bossfight, and allows you to take a breather before each fight so you pace yourself and can actually lock in during the fight.

>>720542603
Yeah, I wish you could adopt him or bring him to the Sprinter bug to help out with the races or something.
>>
>>720541968
seems strange that they would even give you the option. if they can't be fucked to remove exploits i'm going to use them

Wasn't first sinner just an enhanced widow already?

They'll take a few retards cheating on a self-imposed challenge over having to spend time doing anti-cheat measures.
