Cutest bug?
sherma my beloved

Man, this is game is too fucking big. I should've taken a couple of weeks off work.
>>720573039Nice spoilers cunt
Tell me your accidental skips you had on your first playthrough
you have 20 words or less to fix act 3go
>>720573334fewer*
>>720573308>he didn't get to the timeskip alreadylmao
>>720573334Buzzsaws.
>>720573334Minimize pre-fight cutscenes on retry.
>>720564017Unfortunately, those two things are what made me love HK in the first place. The fact that they're so sorely lacking in SS really brings the game down for me and makes me not really give a shit about it>City of Tears>It's raining 24/7>It's raining because there's a big lake above it>The water has to go somewhere, so there's sewers>Naturally the boss is poop themed>His lore shows he's not actually just a shit bug, he's a powerful, respected warrior who is the last of his kin>There's a big tower here too>It's super high up and locked away behind a lot of doors>The boss is hiding at the very very top and only comes out once you discover his secret>He's experimenting on souls, which is bad, so he needs to hide in the tower>Naturally the boss is sorcerer themed>His lore shows he's not actually just a crazy wizard, he's doing this at the behest of the king to try and save the kingdomVs>Choral Citadel>There's bells >There's bells because the Pilgrims use singing for religious purposes>Part of the Citadel is also cogwork, I guess because they have a lot of brass to use or some shit>The boss in the Citadel is not music themed, but cogwork themed>It's two ballet dancers who are a copy of some dude you met in a completely different zone, with no explanation as to why the Citadel made a copy of them or why they gave a shit about the original. Btw you meet the original in the post-game then rip his heart out because he just whines about his lost kingdom>The 2nd boss is located near an archive area>For some reason he's like a theatre actor>Omg he's just like Grimm, but gay and lame, remember Grimm guys!>He puts on plays for religious purposes, or something>3rd boss is hidden in the medical ward of the city>Medical ward is there because they steal silk from the citizens >Naturally, the boss is silk/bandaged theme>Is actually just a gigantic monstrosity thing who spits bodies and also does sword summoningI'm exaggerating only slightly
>doing ascent from the abyss>have cogflies active from earlier>they keep killing the enemies I'm supposed to bounce on
>>720573561wow that sure looks difficult
>>720573561So does the white girl represent Hornet, and the black dude is The Void?
>spawn campedlamo rip bozo
>karmelita fight doesn't charge you for tools used when you respawnheh... guess i'll go all out then
>>720573039This sequence was so fucking good, I love my Bellbeast friend.>>720573329I don’t remember where and if they actually changed anything but I remember doing a few pogo jumps off flying enemies early on to reach some ledges, probably got a few rosaries early and that’s it.
>>720573596Ain't nobody reading all that shit
Lost Verdania is extremely kino and comfy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlOKo9mygp4
>>720573596>two ballet dancers who are a copy of some dude you met in a completely different zone, with no explanation as to why the Citadel made a copy of them or why they gave a shit about the original.

>>720573334lost lace is an entirely new boss
>>720573334A 20 hour long Lace and Hornet lesbian sex scene instead of a full act.>>720573596>The boss in the Citadel is not music themed, but cogwork themedTechnically it's both? Cogwork dancers after all. Or do you consider dancing and music not related?
>>720573714I liked it until I realized I didn't need to grind it for the bestiary and just had to beat it once
>>720573131"Dear friends, I'm off to go find supplies to help everyone"Aww"In Whiteward"YAMEROOOOOOO!!!
>>720573561Really? In front of my hornet?
>>720573716>kun>is wrong>all that is explainedThe explanation being two lines of flimsy nonsense is not an explanation
>>720573829Playing for her in whiteward is kinoShe's so shaken
>>720573334New enemies in the world.Old enemies aren't void possessed.Less projectile spam.
>>720573716nah hes right, silksong is significantly more contrived and unexplained than almost the entirety of hallownest's plot
>>720573334More unique areas to explore so it doesn't feel like boss spam tedium
words cannot described how fucking PUMPED I was when I found the architect crest, coolest fighting style in the game and it's not even close>>720573308sorry but that's on you for coming to 4chan before beating the game
>>72057333480 hour long hornet and lace sex scene
for me itshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj_0KoleZiU
>>720573039Where is Shwarma in act 2? I can't seem to find him. Last time I saw him i think it was near Pilgrims Rest.
>>720573716There is 0 explanation as to why they made copies of him besides he was an important figure and his kingdom got raped by GMS like literally everything else
>>720573957I used Wanderer until then and I used wanderer after it..Until I find a boss I can't beat with Wanderer anyway
So what happens if you get captured by the jailer bugs in act 1? Is that another way to get to enter act 2?
>Court of Craws
>>720573334no more gauntletsthey suck and only exist for padding
>>720573308>he didn't fight Zote in Act 1lmao
>>720574008I hated High Halls so much that I didn't even take in the musicThankfully it's a very short area
>>720573957did you know the pogo and the dash attack can be charged>>720574061the answer is so comically elaborate that you wont believe ityou get sent to the slab without your clothes and needle, have to retreive them, neck snap a jailer and have to fight your way out
>>720573596>HK is my favorite game because... they explain why it's raining in city of tearsi mean yeah shit like that is neat but i care about gameplay most of all in my video games and imo the gameplay in silk song is just an objective improvementalso if you want to be autistic, where does the water come from that fills the blue lake? it would need some source of water to fill it at a rate equal to the tremendous amount dripping into the city of tears constantly. it's never raining on the surface so where's it all coming from? not saying it's a plot hole/lore hole or whatever just that it's easy to poke holes in this stuff if you're motivated to shit on it
>>720574061no, the only way out of prison in act 1 is fast travel station
>>72057333430 different and reoccurring, 3 damage dealing Bosses per room/area.
>>720573931most things are, yeswhich is why complaining about one of the few things that IS explained is retarded>>720574046green prince literally tells you flat out that the copies were made by his gay buttsex loverif you actually read the fucking text you would know that
>>720574148do you need to grind money for it if you lose it all?
I'm gonna be honest, I'm getting tired. I'm starting to drift to other games just because this one is so grindy and unrewarding. It has some really good fights but they're in between incredibly slow sections and MMO-tier sidequests. Maybe I'm just burnt out but next time I get stuck on something I'm not sure I'll care anymore.
>>720574084The reward is absurdly good, go for it
>>720574061i don't think you can get to the citadel from there if you're in act 1, some one way door somewhere. so you just have to use the bell station
>>720573334There's crest customization after beating specially crafted encounters. Each one is a micro campaign with a final boss.
wow haha how did this game know I love long ass runbacks to bullshit bosses with bloated hp pools?
>>720574204>He made them because he made themThat is not an explanation you stupid fucking faggot. Go back to /a/ you god damn retard
>>720573334the world isn't nearly dead enough
>>720541007Except those no-death runs always involve the player quitting out or returning to bonfire before they die.
what am i missing here
Holy chungus this is everything
>>720574279The runback is like 30 seconds and it's engaging, this is honestly a nice runback. there are far worse ones
I am deliberately not looking at most of the posts in these threads but I just wanted to say that I'm 20 hours into the game and I've only just started act 2. I went through Bilewater and thought Phantom - I actually turned around at the Blasted Steps because I thought I needed a double jump for one section (I didn't lol). Is this anyone else's experience? I saw people saying they beat the game in 16 hours the other day and I assumed they were half-bullshitting. Without following a guide and exploring everything myself, I've done a lot of backtracking I imagine, but I'm still having a ton of fun. I only found the Reaper crest today because I completely missed on my first run through Greymoor, but it seems like the best one by far.
>>720574206it's only 50 rosaries
>>720574146> in silk song is just an objective improvementnot necessarily desu. i love both but HK1 has a lot of things going for itfirst games' world had more freedom of exploration and guided you through a specific path less once you get the claws, the route variety is insane. its kind of like if the entire game was the beginning of act 2the first game had stuff like white palace, colosseum, etc. silksong generally does not go anywhere near that farhk's quest for the void heart is so much betterwhile hornets' moveset is amazing, i dont think enemy movesets ever get as good as something like Soul Tyrant or the DLC bossesHK1's secrets and breakable walls were much more meaningful. Silksong literally just places them in every centimeter to the point theyre barely a surprise anymore and are much harder to miss
what exactly does the weavelight tool do?increases speed of silk regen it says, does that mean when I hit an enemy I get extra silk?
>>720574125>did you know the pogo and the dash attack can be chargedyup, that was one of the first things I noticedthat solved almost all issues I had with pogo-ing in this game to be honest, I can't imagine doing the fleamaster bounce challenge without the architect crest
I'm trying to get the cursed ending, any tips on dodging off screen needles?
>>720574391>thoughtfought, fucks sake
>>720573987This but Hornet and Sherma
There I beat her with Reaper too, can we please have boss-rush now
>>720574280he made them because he missed his gay lover rearranging his bughole every night you dumb fucking nigger
>>720574494dont chase after the boss if it risks an off screen needlealternatively be VERY high up
>>720574279pretty easy runback since you dont need to fight any enemies
>>720574458Basically, one extra silk thread that regens on its ownUseful for platforming challenges when you want to use clawline
>>72057439116h is pretty reasonable to reach an ending if you are not deliberately going out of your way to backtrack and explore stuff whenever you get new upgrades, but just generally going the direction the game guides you in and finding stuff there.
>dataminers have found "God's Glory" in the games codeBOSSRUSHCHADSGODHOMEBROSSHADELORDGODSWE ARE FUCKING BACK
>>720574391it took me around 50h without looking anything up, use the map markers because you're guaranteed to forget shitjust play thoroughly anon, no stress
God FUCKING dammit, man. I FUCKING hate when double jump activates when I'm not pressing jump twice. I'm getting fucked in these segments where lava is rushing up because of it and it's fucking up these spots where you're between spikes above and below you
Where to get Craftmetal?
>>72057439116 hours isn't really surprising desu, i beat it in 20 and i'm a shitter who got stuck on some bosses and i also spent hours backtracking instead of going for the main objective of act 2it has a LOT of content but it's all optional, if you just beeline the final boss you can do the entirety of act 2 in a single sitting easily
I'm at Widow and jesus fuck I'm getting my shit pushed in in phase 2
>>720573334Instead of Void nonsense, Silk's egg sac hatches and the entire world is filled with new spider enemies
>>720574672There's a lot of leftover code from Hollow Knight.
>>720574672Baaaased. Give me afirst Sinner super boss thanks.
>>720574684Double jump only activates when you press jump after pressing jumpLiteral skill issue
>there's an optional Shakra fight that I completely missed out on
>>720574046Their homolust kingdom was too strong so silk mother had to put stop for thatThey made copies as a joke
>>720573334Buff Pintress, Nyleth, CKK, Gurr, Palestag and Crawfather
>>720574785No it doesn't, it activates randomly when doing platforming and it's fucking garbage
>>720574730Keep calm. You only die because you panic. You know all her moves. You know when it's safe to hit and when it's safe to heal. Don't panic. Don't rush.
>>720574763Apparently thats not what they used for godmaster in hk
>>720573334Void enemies not being tankierReduced cutscenes and bullshit on runbacks
What's the lowest % you can finish the game with?
I'm losing steam...
>>720574929dont worry bro. At this point the entire rest of the game is backtracking 1000x times :)
I fell in the water in Sinner's Road and now Hornet has become Matou Sakura
>>720574730Just get more aggressive. Ignore the other guy. All you need to do is kill that bitch and the more dedicated to that you are the easier it is.
>>720574878just stop panicpressing u noob lol
man trobbio skip would be absolute game changing
>>720574593What about when I have to, to avoid the falling rocks?
>>720575016I'm not
>>720574805It's nothing special, but you did miss out on the optional jurnal entry.Same with Garmond.
>>720574730I finally beat her tonight, I used poison and I don't care if I didn't "beat her" by doing that
>>720574926Interesting question. Already know you can skip Drifters Cloak, and Sister Splinter. Annoyingly the thing that lets you see completion percentage isn't given to you just before the normal end like in HK
Any way to get there?
>>720575101Garmond has a fight too? Goddammit
>>720574926dunno, assuming mandatory upgrades count for % i'd guess like 2% or so? you need dash, wall cling, sneedolin, and clawline, everything else is optional
>>720574436disagree with pretty much every point. outside of the very beginning, ss feels like it throws optional areas to explore constantly. hunter's march is completely optional (even in act 3), you have two different routes to act 2, you can get to greymoor the normal way or by getting five fleas, can use your early game key on deep docks or worm ways, etc. hollow knight really doesn't give you many exploration options until half way through. soul tyrant being an example of great boss moveset made me loli do agree ss goes overboard with the breakable walls/hidden paths though
>>720575170ye, check tall ascend on the right
>>720575170Yeah there's a hidden passage behind a breakable wall on that shaft on the far right
>update game yesterday>play today>missing some of my silkspool spaceWhat the fuck?I have like 3 spool upgrades, where the fuck did it go?
>the level one upgrade almost doubles your damageWhat the FUCK
>>720575170Find the Prostate Key.
>>720575262wrong photo
>>720575258>nyleth and fourth chorus in great instead of boring???
>>720574878Please tell me how you activate the double jump without jumping first
>>720575170yeah you need the third key from putrid ducts>>720574929just use the charm that protects against maggot water and look up where the closer bench is if you don't have it. use tools to clear the AIDS mobs, especially the first wave. not bad at all if you do that
>>720575292doesn't feel like it doe
>>720573334Real rewards for beating bosses
>>720575337Ask the devs because I'd love to know too
>>720575313looks like you have three upgrades to mewhat's the issue
>>720575313It looks like you have 3 spool upgrades.
/v/, I want to fuck this child.
>>720575407Fucking lolSucks to suck hombre, it's worked consistently for me the past 30 hours
>>720574878First time I've heard of this, maybe your controller is fucked?
>>720575292>pale steel needleYou need act 3 for this or just the putrefied ducts?
>>720575292dam, really didn't feel that way to me. hell i'm on the level 4 needle and it definitely doesn't feel 4x stronger than the starting needle but that might just be because so many of the act 3 enemies are void buffed
Architectbros what do you have on your crest?
>>720575498Pretty sure you need an ability from act 3
Let me guess, you need more?
>>720575498Act 3
>>720575498The last upgrade requires you to find all the fleas.
>>720575319Fourth Chorus is fun fight. Nyleth is easy but her fight is unique enough.
>>720575413>>720575425apparently I'm beingfucking retarded and picked the wrong photo twice.
>>720575564Nah, I need lessBeen using Wanderer since I got it and I'll be using Wanderer until I beat it
>>720575104...what do you mean poison
>>720575571finding all fleas only gives you egg of fleatopia, you can do it in act 2
>>720575564The robot tool is so over powered it's not even funny, couple that with the poison charm and you can just dodge bosses until they dieAbsolutely insane ratio of total damage per material cost
>>720575664The game gives you tools. Use them.
>>720575564>he didn't gotted the railgun silkshot
>this is /v/'s latest waifuIncomprehensible to me.
>>720575664The Pollip Pouch, that you get from Grayroot
>>720575714Hey, I don't judge you.
>>720575634anyway the issue is just that you temporarily lose your silk upgrades when you diego get your cocoon and they will come back
>>720575664Go back to the Shellwood and search every nook and cranny. The reward is well worth it.
>>720575714>no hips>no ass>flat chest>kuudere>lolibaba>pedophileIt's a no brainer.
>>720575780wait really? how did i never notice this?
>>720575714i've been a bugfucker for years, faggot
>>720575714Hornet has that attitude, that absolute confidence, that makes people attractive.
>>720574279That boss isn't even hard lmao
>only attempted Steel Soul in the first game after grinding the fuck out of every boss in GodhomeThose achievements in Silksong will have to wait
Aw hell nah
im about to fight groal wish me luck
I've done seemingly everything in Act 2 save for raging conchfly and whatever is behind it. I fucking hate this boss. Yes I have the shortcut. Yes I have tried toolspam, to the point I now need to fucking FARM in a fucking metroidvania to be able to use tools again. Is there some Act 3 bullshit reason I need to beat this boss now for or can I just leave it? This has to be the most fucking tedious metroidvania I've ever played.
>>720575761>>720575792Fuck, I knew I should've gone back, I'm still missing one pollip. Guess I'll go back there after I beat her, I don't wanna lose all my rosaries
REMOVE QUICK LOAD FROM STEEL SOUL
>>720575995remember you can do the maggot water cheese if you struggle
>>720575995Don't worry he's easy
My game froze, stuff moves but buttons don't work. Hopefully resetting will fix it.
>>720576003you'll have to go through that boss in act 3 for even worse bullshit
>>720574929Ngl, that's the most I've died in the entire game. Save your tools for the big fucker.
>>720573334Remove that ridiculous needle upgrade jelly quest
>>720576040didnt know its a cheese since everywhere but water is deadly there so i never even tried to get rid of them
>>720575953I cannot imagine someone doing steel soul without quit scumming in silksong, the game is 10 times harder than the original HK
>>720576003i meanyou don't have to kill it now but one of the mandatory act 3 bosses is behind it so you'll have to kill it eventuallyhave patience lil nigga if you try to rush him you're gonna keep dying like you are right now
>>720576021it took me until fleatopia to realise his moustache wasn't his eyes
so should i just carry the tormented bug in my inventory until im about to fight GMS before talking to the witch?
>three fucking phases JUST FUCKING DIE ALREADY BLOATED HP SHIT
>>720575994I had to look this quest up purely because I didn't realize you had to do it in order and the first clue wasn't referring to the first shrine
Nyleth and Kahn should've been way more ambitious.Nyleth would be fine as a puzzle boss, maybe expand the arena so it's about the size of the Pale Stag's. No viable floors, but vertical walls and platforms to pogo into. You need to reach the corners of the arena to hit and destroy special flowers (first 2,then 3, then 4) so Nyleth becomes vulnerable, all the while she's shooting increasingly elaborate flaming projectiles patterns at you.For Kahn, his basic moveset is fine,maybe make it so as the fight progresses he literally makes you climb the tower with him on coral platforms he creates,all the while you duel him, until the end where you fight him on top of the tower and beat him by pummeling down all your previous path
>>720575714you know she also has rosary string in her ass
>>720576147It took me until Fleatopia to realise that the lying down small fleas wings weren't their eyes
Can you give me an spoiler free warning of when im finising act 2?Im assuming is after i bitch slap whatever high entity is on the citadel
>>720576156what, why?
>>720575995It's pretty hot when he vores you and you can see Hornet's silhouette in his stomach.Team Cherry... they GET me!!!
>>720575840Well, early on there's not much difference between having a full spool or a broken one
I finally beat the tutorial bros.
That sands of karak runback really makes me want to drop the game
>>720576156yeahif you give it to her early you'll have to fight lace 2 with it and she's way harder than big G
>>720576231>Im assuming is after i bitch slap whatever high entity is on the citadelYes
>>720576231When the game gives you a prompt that says "CHALLENGE".
>>720573334VOIDed Silk with brand new attacks.Expanded Abyss.Coral Forest.Saveable Garmond.TOTAL. LACE. DEATH.Sherma romance.Bloom stops double void damage.
>>720576306what fucking runback, just go from the blasted steps bench???
>>720575995update i jobbed to the mobs beforehand because i hadnt seen them before kek
CURSED ENDING DONE.I'M FREE.Any other endings exclusive to act 2 or can I finally move on?
>>720573561Why does Silksong trigger cucks so much?
>>720576231Both of those people are lying to you. You have to start a specific quest, complete that quest, then pick a different option on a boss when prompted.
>>720576386the sherma sex ending
why is this fat fuck fly in the sinners road butcher area giving such a hard time
First try, baby. I got 35. I probably could've gotten more
Is there a secret to First Sinner? She's so fucking fast.
>>720576386The Tagteam /ss/ Sherma with Lace Ending.
Got chills from this scene. Holy kino.
>>720573334MORE ELEGY SONG INTERACTIONS FOR BOTH LORE AND BATTLES AND EVEN A COUPLE OF FULLY EXPLORABLE REGIONSWOULD BE AWESOME
>>720574280its heavily implied that the green prince and his lover were equal rulers within their kingdom of verdaniait is also heavily implied that they disagreed on whether to submit to the authority of the citadel to save their home or notthe lover built the cogwork dancers as some kind of peace offering as well as to showcase the talents and use of the verdanians i think? only when they were completed he was killed and his soul was imprisoned within them as a power source.verdania fell to ruin anyway, and was forgotten, the lore tidbit in memoria kind of confused me though, it seemed to imply it was a system failure of some kind?either way it didn't matter, the green prince couldn't have done anything, it didn't matter if he stayed or surrendered as the outcome would have been the same, as hornet tells him to try and give him some closure, but he regrets his decision anyway, and fights you in his last memory, in a fight identical to the cogwork dancer only with an invulnerable ghostly apparition as one of the two dancers, you defeat him and grant him peace, and he grants you his heart, still beating with the passion he had for his home and his lover or something, usable as an alternative in the spell in act 3 btw, you can skip one of the others.the lore is told visually and through lore items and small bits of dialogue, you're meant to piece together the info and try to ascertain what it all means. this is just my interpretation but its the best i could come up with based on what facts we're given, and i think it fits pretty well with how many themes of choices, regrets, conviction, faith, etc there is.its fine to not like this kind of storytelling, i can even see it being lazy in a way, forcing the player to do the heavy lifting to avoid well written delivery.
How'd I do silksongers?I did detour to grab the cracked mask and the speed anklets, also died a few times. I have to now do the cursed ending and speed completion.
I fucking hate the fact that Hornet's the one writing the lower entries in the Hunter's journal.90% of them revolve around her just going >oh this thing is pointy, I don't like it>wow that one is fluffy>this one is creepy>UWUU THIS ONE IS SO... CUTE!!!!!! if only he wasn't aggressive...>OH MY GOD THIS ONE IS ADORABLE I WISH I COULD PET IT IF ONLY IT WASN'T AGGRESSIVE>IF THIS ONE DIDN'T HAVE SPIKES... IT'D LOVE TO PET IT
>Lace 2 was the boss that killed me most in the first two acts>didn't even need to save-exit abuse once against her on my SS runA Lost Lace training arc will do that to ya I guess.
>>720576302Based, me too. I was having more trouble with her first phase than the second for some reason.Honestly, I thought she was too easy on the normal ending, but having to actually get good makes you appreciate granny more.
>>720576527>corpses of old bosses laying around just like in HK>sneedolin doesnt work
>>720576512Remember what you did for phase 2 Widow, but do that faster. Then when you get to phase 2 First Sinner, do it even FASTER. Alternatively, just use the Longclaw with architect and you can just walk around and hit her without having to dash.
>>720576595And.. you hate that?
>>720576578You will never be a woman.
>>720573596No, I agree. Act 2 narrative is much weaker than hollow knight>hornet just knows a higher being is running pharloom>hornet somehow knows she’ll have to replace GMS if she defeats her>GMS motive or goal isn’t explained. We just operate under the premise that she’s bad>Weavers ran away from GMS cause she was abusing them somehow>The citadel is some corrupt religious institution for no other reason than religion bad>People are going crazy in pharloom right when we arrive just because >Lets make all this cogwork shit for no clear reasonSome areas like bile water being the industrial waste dump from the citadel really shine through but the main narrative of act 2 seems pretty weak unless there’s some lore bits i missed on a first playthrough
>people complaining about cogs and mt fay being too hard with platformingcan't wait to see their faces when they try to reach the 7th mr mushroom
>>720576527yeah i was quite disappointed that there were no dream boss rematches like lost kin or white defender in hollow knight
Man, fuck the casuals. The worms were NOT the only hazard to get nerfed. Cogwork gears only do 1 now, and worst of all, falling bells only do 1 now too, which makes Willow way easier. Anyone notice any other silent nerfs like this?
>>720576595>I hate getting more character insight on this games protagonist!Did you really want Nuu's takes on this games enemies anon
>>720576598Yeah no healing definitely is the real fight. Was a great fight. Also struggled more on her first phase
>>720576512be aggressive, i beat her my third try, the whole game you need to play somewhat slow against the majority of bosses to wait out their attacks and then punish, against her you can finally take the weights off and just react instantly to things as you're rushing her down, you can dodge it all, her punish windows are tiny but if you're consistently up her ass she will go down, it feels amazing, just sit up and push her. the more defensive and slow you are the harder she is.
I hate that 90% of the lore delivery of this game feels like it was written by an ESL trying to write a haiku while having no idea what a haiku is.It's further enshittified by how simple the actual story is
>>720576716Unironically yes.
wow ok just fought groal for the first timeso:>massive hitbox with contact damage and staggers where he falls>adds>sits at the end of long bossrun (though tbf not as bad as people have been making it out to be) and enemy arenaits everything wrong with this games bosses rolled into one
>>720576595She says what we're all thinking.
thank god i finished with mt Fey.unlocking the harpoon really opened things upthe little platforming challenge + lava gauntlet + escape sequence in far lands was a ton of fun. thankfully it only took me a couple of tries. still pretty hard tho>>720573242>I should've taken a couple of weeks off work.i did and it still wasn't enough
>>720576691Some of those bosses (white defender and zote) were dlc, so here's to hoping we get more like it.
Done but unsure if I'm going to bother with the 100%. I was seething so bad with Lost Lace, so I just took two days break and went off to play a fucking farming game then came back and beat her on my second attempt.
>>720576702Probably easier just to figure out what hazards weren't nerfed. So far only the Volt area above Sands of Karak has hit me for two.
>>720576702worm floor hazards like in the desert only do one heart now instead of hitting twice, which is fine because that was horseshit
>>720576828>thank god i finished with mt FeyDid you find both mask fragments and mr. mushroom there? :)
Witch Crest rocks.That is all.
>>720576365Yea. The long ass runback from the bench
>>720576795Poison boomerangs/cogflies make short work of him, fortunately. Probably the only boss I'd agree it's 100% okay to be a coward and use only ranged weapons on.
>>720576595i think it's cute. hornet has this stoic, no-nonsense personality that she shows the world, but when she's alone she dreams of keeping a cute fluffy bug as a pet.
>>720576856Has lava been nerfed? If so, that makes the magma bell more lame
It wasn't enough to just beat Vog, I had to mog Vog
>>720576849>play a fucking farming gameI bet playing Sakuna after Silksong would feel like one hell of a powertrip.
>>720576898man its just wall jumps with 0 hazards
>>720576897Sell me on it, I briefly tried it when I got it and the heal ability just seems like a worse version of the heal you normally get
>>720576686I don't understand how people have trouble with the platforming. I mean yeah I've missed some jump here and there but come on now, compared to the Path of Pain this is child's play, even the last area past the Cradle.
>>720576716I can get character insight from her talking to other NPCs and how she acts while I play.I'm reading creature entries so I can learn interesting things about them, not hear what Hornet's thinking or how it felt the last time she wiped her ass with a leaf.That's what made the Hunter's descriptions interesting to me, he explained how the creatures you slay worked or tidbits about them and rarely he talked a bit about himself.It's a hunter's journal, not a hunter's diary.>>720576902I would have liked it more if they kept it more subtle like when you go in the flea carriage seeing her wanting to pet one or something.
>>720576702didn't the falling bells always do 1? at least they did in bell beast, don't remember widow since i beat her first try
>>720576849unless you are an achievement whore I couldnt recommend it. Act 3 fucking sucks dick outside of the last story stretch. I'd atleast check out Verdania, the one and only new area introduced in Act 3.
>>720576874No, fuck off. It made the blasted steps feel way more threatening. If you can't platform you should be punished hard for it
>>720576978Kill yourself
>>720576849100% isn't as bad as I thought. It's mostly grinding out beads to buy every upgrade in the game. Doesn't even require all bosses. I still have sadboy Trobbio to do but I don't really want to learn his explosions that badly.
>>720576961you will be even happier with that flea dodge score later
>>720574365first you buy off the bug that steals shit in blasted lands, second one is in Bilewater
>>720576961Seth is going to make you his bitch.
>>720575196optional areas to explore, 9 billion of which are very shallow and instant dead ends. thats not route variety>You have 2 different linear paths to act 2And you have 7 completely different routes to reach the Dream Nail after getting mantis claw that can all transition into eachother.>you can get to greymoore the normal way or by getting five fleaswhich does not really change your route other than the fact you skip one straightforward segment. How about having 4 different entry points to the resting grounds or 3 different ways to get to east city of tears, and these entry points having different possibilities each?>hollow knight really doesn't give you many exploration options until half way through. It gives you fucking everywhere as soon as you get the mantis claws. clearly you underestimate the ever living fuck out of HK1's route variety before even factoring in glitchesbasically everything you described as large route variety is very shallow compared to what you have in HK1, but admitedly still beyond 95% of metroidlikes>soul tyrant movesetare you bad at attacking him repeatedly or something? describe what you dislike about him
NTA but i am stuck in the same situations of not having the poon and the double jump and have no idea where to look. Very funny that both of us where going the same way and beat the same boss, phantom was so cool.
>>720576612not a substitute obviously but sometimes you'll come up on the snail dude examining an old boss corpse and he'll comment on them
>>720577021>local retard goes from the wrong bench and complains because he's a retardthe classic retard's tale
Props to any idiot who beat her with Witch, this has to be the worst Crest by far, literally what is the advantage
>>720576595Stoic, serious girl who is secretly in touch with her feminine side is a great trope though.
do you need to defeat the 3 bosses in act 3 to unlock the mini games? i want that pale oil
>>720577021you fucking retard, unlock the shortcut to blasted steps already and stop complaining about the gamewhy am i even helping you, i should laugh at ur suffering
>>720577021Are you fucking blind or stupid lmfao
>>720575035they dont hit you instantly once they start winding up if youre really up above
>>720576901i took my poison off for the purity wreath thingy, might reequip it though. unfortunately i have fuck all shards and cant be arsed going to get more
>>720576875welp, i found 1 mask, a flea and a tool.also, there's a hole in the ceiling made by a falling pillar i couldn't get into.guess i'll have to come back later
Can't wait for godhome so that I can use subweapons with impunity
>>720576010>I'm still missing one pollipit's in the corridor between belhart and shellwood, left side breakable wall
>>720577126No, just go there
Anons, does this lead to the ending? Should I explore a bit more first? Feels like I haven’t met many NPCs in act 3 yet.
>>720576702I told you guys they were going to nerf a lot of stuff in act 1 because of the bitching. Just hope they don't nerf act 2 and 3
>>720576984Your heal becomes a lifeleech version of the Silk Bubble ability, your sprint attack hits twice for two silk, your downward attack hits for 1.5 times the damage and tethers to enemies and it's very easy to use. You get 3 Blue Charm slots and 2 Tools. The only iffy attack is the charged one but who the fuck uses that?With the mirror you get from the dancer guy, my heal is a fucking nuke.
>>720576939I doubt it but someone else can boot it up to check.Magma bell would have to lead to zero damage from initial fire damage to make it still do anything.
>>720577126they are unlocked immediately when u enter bellhart>>720577165need the wish first
>>720574389I don't mind the runback itself, like the geometry or length of it. But that one little conehead bug that always descends right at the exact height you would jump dash over the gap is the stupidest shit ever. I can't believe someone didn't playtest and say to themselves "yeah this has to go it is beyond obnoxious"
Spoil me the best ending.
>>720576595you autists pick the stupidest stuff to sperg out over. do you really miss the extra shit like "the smorgplort hunts popidoops to feed to its larvae" that much?
>>720577203>LAST DiveI don't think there's any coming back from it, anon.
>>720577203yes its the ending with the last boss
Anyone know what the rewards are for these 2 fights? They're both annoying as hell and I'm 40 hours in and wanted the game to be over 10 hours ago.
>>720577229You and Pharloom become a cocoon for a new god.
>>720577252anon how am i supposed to be IMMERSED in the world without that vital info about the smorgplort???
>>720577229literally the same shit as HK1 except hornet doesnt die
>>720573334Add a new area to each Heart boss.Lost Lace has Silk get corrupted and fight alongside her.
>>720577098>>720577132>>720577138>literally no indication on the map that those 2 areas connect thereNice fucking game
>>720577203Yes, but don't worry, if you go and get the ending the game will load you to the last bench you rested at after
>>720577298bottom right is a maskbottom left is true ending access and best done before a3 because boss will be voided
>>720577214Fair enough, I might give it a tryI still love me Wanderer though, perfectly balanced
>>720577298right: mask shardleft: spool fragment i think
The fact this dude didn't show up again despite most likely being a Weaver is pretty fucking gay
>>720577298second mark is a mask.it's pretty hard, but the poison boomerang served me well, also abuse that harpoon
>>720577006>Act 3 fucking sucks dickI wouldn't have that much issues with it if it didn't take seven years to kill a single enemy once they get voided
>>720577229Chloe = LaceIllya = HornetMiyu = Sherma
>>720577283>>720577287>>720577373Got it, thank you. I guess I might as well get to know the boss first.
>>720577372because the map wont lie to you, they dont connect until you connect them
>>720577372Consider using your eyes when you play the gameAlso consider using your head and realizing that literally at no point during the game does it expect you to do such a massive runback
>>720577252Yes!!!Also I miss entries like this one, pretty funny.
>>720577372>big fuckoff cracked stalactite clearly visible hanging from the ceiling>hmm i will NOT attack thisdeserved for being a fucking retarded niggerthere is no way you stumbled onto sands of karak naturally, it's your own fault for being a guide-using faggot
>>720577434>MiyuWhoops, meant Mimi
Feels like every direction I turn is a new form of CBT.>Bilewater filled with funny exploding bugs>Sands of Karak's floor is 99% piranha maggot sand>Far Fields floor is literal lava battle gauntletI hope to someday git gud.
>>720577375>bottom left spoilerWhich is kinda crazy cause it makes the first phase significantly easier than the second phase when it's supposed to be the opposite.
>>720575292is there a list of how much your damage increases when the Hunter Focus bar is full?
>>720577434How big was the animation team for this and how many meetings did they have?
this corny shit infuriates me
>>720577432Just get the final sword upgrade
>>720576339That would straight up make the game a 10/10.
>>720577549>How big was the animation team6 inches.>how many meetingsAt least five bathroom breaks per daily meeting.
>>720577564I fucking suck at juggling my dude.
>>720577553>"Bet you wish you could get in here,tee-hee!"
>>720577553Opposite for me. I like it when games obviously show me where upgrades are instead of hiding them behind secret walls
>>720577528It's flat 5 damage increase.
>>720577553at least they learned to show you that hey there is something but you have to find a secret entrance instead of making everything invisiblei can understand people bitching about wiki-people in original HK, but in silksong u can get 100% or at least find everything except that 1-2 things without searching for anything
>>720577072>7 completely different routes to reach the Dream Nailthis is such a disingenuous characterization. that's like saying there are a hundred different routes from your bedroom to your bathroom because maybe you'll leave home and go to the store firsti'm not shitting on soul tyrant for being hard, on the contrary he's easy and pretty forgettable. him doing the fake out slams halfway through is kind of neat the first time you fight him and you aren't expecting it but other than that he's meh
>>720577624Pro tip: you don't have to up attack to keep them juggled
>>720577624you can just normal attack the fleas when juggling it doesnt have to be up+attack btw
>>720577624hold up at all timesequip hunter with longclaw for the fastest and longest upward slashsometimes they cheat but wcyd, its random in the end but i can get 40+ consistently
>>720575673In Act 3 there's flea minigames that give the last upgrade
>>720576483The trick is to hit them in the order they appear and in a rhythm so you don't trap yourself into having more than one about to fall at once.
>>720577126after you get all of the fleas and talk to the main flea dude, a quest should show up in bell hart that will then unlock the carnival. idk if you have to explore a little first or if it will just be on the board immediately
Just beat Savage Beastfly after several attampts. Hate how body itself is a hitbox so you can be hit twice in some unfortunate knockback from a hit. Savage mode is cool.
>>720577227The first traffic cone bug is the worst, but it has to have been put there on purpose.
>>720576539>you defeat him and grant him peace, and he grants you his heart, still beating with the passion he had for his home and his lover or something, usable as an alternative in the spell in act 3 btw, you can skip one of the others.The rest of this makes sense based on his dialogue. The citadel fucked over his kingdom and killed his partner, but idk how you took away this last part. You literally invade his memory uninvited and murder the dude while he’s just reminiscing about his gay lover while waiting for the world to end. He even tells you to gtfo at the start of his boss fight. Idk if this was partially cut content but it seemed pretty abrupt. Hornet flat out askes karmalita for her heart but doesn’t even mention it to the prince.
>when you kill ant enemies super tiny ants carry their corpses away
Are you a bad enough dude to take on the inevitable Pantheon of Pharloom?
>>720577829lol worms
>>720577553The funny thing is that i don't even want these fucking spools, they are nothing thanks to the combination of costly healing and clawline taking silk.
Made it to Mount Fay. Is there some kind of ice protection item I need or am I supposed to just climb the mountain fast as fuck?
>>720577283You can go up and down the diving bell freely.
>>720577827But down attack being different is cancer
>>720577960>or am I supposed to just climb the mountain fast as fuck?You got it, buddy!
>>720577960there are random heat spots or barriers that stop the cold, you have to go up to them quickly
>>720577960Yep.At the top. Get climbing.You'll need the grapple.
>>720577960>am I supposed to just climb the mountain fast as fuck?Yes. Get climbing, boy.
>>720577915no
>>720577915Nah.Didn't touch it in Hollow Knight, won't touch it in Silksong.
>>720574279brother this is the nerfed version
>Beast Crest>you can literally fucking facetank every enemy gauntlet in the gameAPOLOGIZE TO THIS CREST RIGHT NOW YOU FUCKTARDSAPOLOGIZE RIGHT NOWI BEAT CORAL TOWER NO RPOBLEM BECAUSE OF ITFIRST TRY EVEN AND I JUST FACE TANKED EVERYTHING
>>720577483That path was open without hitting anything but the map didn‘t show it>there is no way you stumbled onto sands of karak naturallyWow how could i ever figure out to grapple to the conveniently placed rings that lead me to a new area
>>720577624don't listen to "hold up" guy, the direction you hit the fleas affects their movement. if there are three fleas and you hit all of them from the right, then they'll all stay pretty close and you'll never be in a position where you have to dash to opposite sides of the stage to keep them up. once i figured this out, i cleared juggle first try
can I return from the void after I descent for the 2nd time ? I need to kill one fucking bug in there to return a full journal to Nuu
>>720574279>long ass runbacksIt's like, 30-40 seconds.
fuck casuals, their very existence hurts games. Get fucking good
>>720577227Yeah agreed, I wouldn't mind if it was 30 seconds of mindless runback, but you have to be very careful to not lose health before the fight even starts. But in the grand scheme of things it's not too bad. I got through DaS1, I can cope with this
Hornet's sure loves slapping people.
>>720576828>unlocking the harpoon opened things upnow if only i can get that while being on act 1
>>720577718>this is such a disingenuous characterization.it literally isnt>city of tears, downdive, crystal peak, chasm>deepnest, tram pass, crossroads tram>deepnest, tram pass, basin tram, either instant east tears or kingdoms edge then tears, go up>city of tears, waterways, basin, east tears, go up>crystal peak, dont go for the chasm, broken vessel for the wings, go over salubraamong others i forgotAnd all of this happens completely without the player knowing what to expect and exploring freely, these are just the straightforward paths to the entry points. While in Silksong both paths to act 2 are practically linear
>>720576021...are the flees alright?
>>720578097Bro what the fuck are you doing. Just keep running and climb the little chimney to the left instead.
Love these little bugs like you wouldnt believe...
>>720578082Yes
>>720578049>lifesteal caps at 3 and requires you to safely bind first>normal heal caps at 3 and requires you to safely bindBeast is WORSE at facetanking than Wanderer
Question:What's my path to getting the second needle upgrade? I was told I needed to do a delivery for something but i don't know which one of these it might be.
>>720576595She is right though. That floating flower that explodes into exploding pollen. Would be a good pet. At least if it wasn't for the exploding pollen. It's kind of obvious. But is it too faggy or womanly to acknowledge it? What's your problem?
>>720578207Hmm what did he mean by this?
>>720578049I did it with witch crest and also on the first try lol
>>720578219are their deliveries required for 100%?
lads i fucking hate groal
>>720578217That's the route I took when I was doing runbacks for the Last Judge and it never occurred to me that little vent could be used going TO the Grand Gate and not only going FROM it. Think overall, runbacks early on are a way to make players get better at platforming.
>there's 8 mask shards remainingNani the fuck. I thought there was 4 tops. Where the hell.
>>720578317>What's your problem?See >>720576998
>>720578318Don't worry 'bout it
>>720577915as long as it's in a dreamscape with infinite shell shards
Reposting because it was hilarious.
>>720578312You help a fat retard with his lunch and you break into the Citadel's Vaults.
>>720578354Maybe for filling out the material catalog.
>>720578312It's called Couriers Rasher. I don't know for sure but I suspect you need to speak to the recipient first to unlock it, if you want to know where that is it is Choral Chambers west, the area on the map with markings like a settlement
>>720578318It's a troll you think they're setting you up for a similar "ritual" as the grubs but then it turns out the ritual is actually carnival games.
>>720576998>It's a hunter's journal, not a hunter's diary.She's a woman tho
>>720578312Did you get the quest from the guy to begin with
Are Don Quichote and his trusty steed gone if you dont go to sinners road prior to the end of act 1??
The hunter's marsh merchant died and now I can't get the boomerang anymore. Great.This game is like a parody of Dark Souls in the worst ways possible
>garmond's bug suddenly by fast travel and wants me to follow himoh no
Dont mind me just performing my rematch ritual.
>>720578474How bad do you have to be
>>720577624So why are some fleas sentient while others are weird dog things? Are they babies? Mentally retarded? In the case of the latter, does it make Hornet a literal tard wrangler?
What is the point of Witch crest? You can do damage when you heal? Despite that usually being when you don't want to be near the enemy
>>720578506it spawns above him
Anyone know the name of the eerie track that plays in the ruins of Bone Bottom in Act 3, and during the Hero's Call quest in the Blasted Steps corridor just before encountering Lost Garmond?It doesn't seem to be listed in the official OST.
>>720578514HA HAA!
>>720578474reaper sisters.... our response???
>>720573334path of pain number 2
>>720578474I can't believe people use this dogshit crest. The only good attack it has is the shoryuken sprint attack.
>>720578563those flies are bugged and can sometimes spawn with no hurtbox
>>720578474I'd laugh but I'm pretty sure similar shit has happenedAnd anyone that's laughing I promise you similar shit has happened to you, and you're just suppressing the memoryGod I hate the flying input reading enemies the most. Faggot game design.
>>720578474Average reaper user.
game is too difficult to be enjoyablei didn't finish sekiro for the same reason
>>720578647>those flies are bugged
>>720578597Your dash and down attacks do multi-hits but you can only heal by attacking with your roots when binding. Think of it like the in-between crest of Beast and Wanderer. Personally, Architect is the best because it gives you the most range and you can hold on your diagonal down attacks for a second.
>>720578729Sekiro isn't difficult, you just suck. It's genuinely not hard at all
>>720578474you're truly beating the game don't worry
>>720578474>the amount of people too stupid to realize the enemy is bugged and invincibleman /v/ really is thirdies with IQs that could freeze water, that's why there's so much complaining about savage beastfly
>>720573334Pantheon.Unlock ability to revert world to pre Act 3.more Act 3 exclusive areas.GMS Rematch.
>– Fixed Swamp Squits becoming invincible if hit under water.Why is /v/ full of retards?
>>720578602You mean on his corpse? The corpse had the mask, but not the boomerang
>>720578729Credit to Silksong for not making the first boss a grappler and slapping parrying on after forcing the player to git gud at everything else.
>>720578814>Sekiro isn't difficultHey its that guy from the other thread who feels compelled to brag and lie anonymously
>>720578647And I thought Lugoli randomly fucking off and making her fight unwinnable was bad enough. They really didn't playtest this game.
>>720578586The map flea talks about protecting the young, so I presume they are babies
>>720576162Her pattern is super telegraphedJust remember to not try to punish her with pogos during her ground fire dash, she will always get a hit on you.GIT GUD
Someone please explain to me how Clawline is balancedThis shit is actually fucking brokenMastering it is like opening your third eyeIts like figuring out descending dark iframes
>>720578814Not everybody is you, some of us actually take pride in knowing when to say no, this game is too difficult and is for sadists only
Game needs NG+ pretty badly.Or at least the option to use whatever crest and tool you want from the start after you completed the game once.
>>720578823>enemy is buggedI see what you did there.
>>720578474>>720578823skill issue
>>720578884It's in the room directly above him, threw me off too because I'd already done it but it's tied to some ropes after a gauntlet
>>720578823>the enemy is bugYes.
Skarrsinger Karmelita is owning my ass. Any tip against her?
so do some weavers just have big ass planet sized heads or is most of that mass just mask?
>>720578514I'm genuinely really fucking tired of shit like this in vidya. Ever since fucking Dark Souls it's like you just can't have hopeful good endings anymore.Everything has to be bleak and dying with no hope and somehow it gets worse. It's exhausting.
>>720578917>everyone who disagrees with me is a liar!Okay
>>720578978100%I want to play the game with Shaman unlocked
>>720578956 But there's one big fat fuck
>>720578963I'm lacking critical information.
>>720578963You need to be good at using it.
>>720577203>one last job...
>>720578978i'm hoping for a "choose starting crest" mod sooni want to do a witch-only run and get gud
>>720578506it's in the room above where he died, no need to sperg out
How do I get even more disgusting then this?
>>720578272I was so baffled when I finally realized that your lifesteal is arbitrarily capped to 3 with beast crest. Beast crest is just baffling in general, though.Benefits:>the pogo is good in combat>you get an attack speed and damage buff after bindingDrawbacks:>only 4 slots total>no blue slots>healing is riskier>healing is even RISKIER because hitting enemies after binding basically blinds you (seriously, look at this shit)>healing is also worse than other crests because you can never heal more than 3 masks>you can't heal without enemies>pogo is extremely awkward if you ever have to hit something directly below you>pogo and sprint attack don't have hitboxes for roughly .5s, meaning you have to deliberately space your sprint attacks more than any other crest's>NO. FUCKING. BLUE. SLOTS.It's still my preferred crest because it's really fun, but... dude. The idea is that you want to preemptively bind before you take damage and then proceed to use the increased attack speed and healing to immediately refill your silk so you can bind again, but the lack of blue slots is just so fucking grim.
>>720578963It isn't.
>>720578978Rando whenI'm surprised I haven't seen any metroidvanias that just have that as a built in option
>go through hell for the shittiest crest imaginable
here i come, steel heart...
>>720579138>no poison cogflies
>>720579031A reference to Don Quixote not knowing his limits and refusing to listen to those who implore him to stay safe isn't grimdark, it's pathos. There's plenty of hope in Silksong. Hell, finding Act 3 at all is predicated on the player going "fuck you there's no way that's how this ends." Twice!
>>720579034Why are you boasting if you're then going to accuse other people of lying
>>720579179Can't use poison cogfly because poison prevent regen
>>720579080Clawline is the grapple hook. If you get the hook tool (which should be yellow ffs) you're at silk positive since it adds an extra hit to your clawline grapple, instead of silk neutral (so you spend one to gain one).Means that you can grapple into enemies while gaining silk. It makes the fuckers that fly and input read mostly a non issue and is super useful for some bosses.
>>720578963>Mastering Theres your answer. Thwre are people here who still bitch about flying enemies despite having clawline.
>>720579208I can't believe you're actually this retarded
>>720576595As opposed to the hunter going>fucking weakass just kill it>strong, would've loved to kill it instead of you>what a strange thing, love to hunt it though>delicious, always keep some of these on you while you hunt for a fierce foe
>>720579028The top part of the room is a big safe zone for cowardly healing if you need it (I did).
So what‘s the ratios on this? I assume you take more damage than you deal because the devs are pieces of shit
Wow, the final boss was WAY too easy, first tried it actually.Oh well, 6 more years for the next game. Just kidding, I know about act 3, still need to explore some areas and finish some quests.
>>720579232Grappling should already be silk positive in combat because you can immediately land a normal needle attack or pogo after grappling to an enemy, but yes the hook makes it better.
>called the architect>all her items are complete fucking assI'm glad you're dead bitch. The cogflies I made myself mogged everything you made
>>720578963Why do you think they tied it to silk? You can just spam it nonstop otherwise
I just reached act 2, is there anything I should do before continuing from act 1?anything missable?
>>720579312
>>720579060Because it was experimented on by the memorium people.You find other oversized critters in the memorium and Hornet comments that they're oversized because the memorium people experimented on them.Keep up
>>720579193You can try and justify the specific instance all you want, but the fact is that when taken in the greater whole of vidya, especially this genre and soulslikes as well, people have fucking abused bleakness and bad endings to the point they've become cliche and boring. I was sick of bittersweet 10 years ago. Now I've gone from sick of it to barely tolerating it. That spoiler specifically makes me just not wait to play the game anymore, because why bother? My reward for the effort is just to watch NPCs I've grown fond of die because developers have a fetish for Miyazaki's stupid bullshit.
>>720579339>he got the shit versionOhnononono
>think sherma is cute>oh it's a guy>think the flea hunter is cute>oh its a guyfuck this
>>720579339it baffled how dogshit they balanced the shotgun , like 18 damage? really? The fucking laser does 38 damage while the peashooter does 23~ why the FUCK is a close range spread shot does 18
>>720579216Quit being a pussy and embrace poison lifeblood kino.
>>720578963That's what I've been saying!
>>720579350Nothing missable until act 3 and even then it's 1 tool upgrade
>>720579315Do it cursed if you're so great
>>720579193>spoilerbetween this and the overall plot of act 3 I think one of them played nier automata at some point during development
>>720579420you're gay now.
is garmond gone if you dont meet him in act 1 in the sinners road? because i sure as shit cant see him anymore
Ok I did the food quest, complete all the request boards in all 3 towns. Is that all I need to do in act 2 before moving on?
>>720578729you're sooooooooo far off. Both games are difficult. Silksong is just annoying at times, along with being difficult. Sekiro is a masterpiece
>>720579339I love the fucking wheel you take that back!
>>720579420Oh it's a dude? It was an obvious strong figure so I assumed it was a girl, how can you even tell
>>720579327Hitting an attack after grapple isn't always feasible depending on damage windows.Also some bosses, you can grapple, let the backflip happen, and grapple again. It's insane the windows it opens up and you look cool doing it (this is a silk neutral maneuver though, since the second hook isn't meant to hit anything)
Any point in fighting Shakra more than once?>>720579420Flea hunter is a girl.
groal is kicking the shit out me should i just leave and buy shards for cogflies
>>720579408The ending should fit the character, and Bug Quixote overestimating his limits and dying because of it is a sad, but fitting end. I'm sorry this game isn't all sunshine and rainbows, maybe Nintendo games are a better fit for you.
>climbed a hidden wall at the left of the memorium and now im in a whole new area called pretrfied ductswhat in the fuck it never fucking ends
>>720579519>Is that all I need to do in act 2 before moving on?You need to rescue 22 fleas and beat Lace for the second time.
>>720578474
>>720579420I'm like 90% they said Vog was a girl but I forgot where.
>>720579420Could have sworn flea hunter was referred to as a woman at some point
>>720577796And we need to top1 the 3 games ?
>>720579339It's really impressive how everything she sells except the architect key, the crafting kit and MAYBE the jumping saw are pure garbage.
>>720579524>
>>720579614I need to rescue all the fleas in act 2? They are already at the lake, which is think its the final place.How do I find lace to beat her again?
>>720579646Yeah.
>>720579620"Skill issue."
Nice, first big glitch! Fought the shrine guardian, he threw his shield like the right arrow shows, teleported by green, glitched into the wall and disappeared
The hunter's journal in Hollow Knight was so informative bro, it was ALWAYS so informative bro there weren't some absolute fucking duds in them nope
>>720579339I still have no idea where you find the parts for that
What's the item that gets you more rosaries?
What in the FUCK was that xenomorph thing anyway?
>>720578474I had this bug happen during the fucking boss fight. During the prelude when it spawns 3 of these fat fucking flies one of them was just immortalThis was before I found (looked up) the secret bench in Bilewater
>>720579584>sick of the same overdone grimdark trite? Better go play Nintendo gamesDo you have anything constructive to say or are you just going to shitpost and act like a fucking idiot that completely purposely and disingenuously misses the point? Or maybe you're just one of those edgy little hot topic teenager shits that thinks "man it's all bleak, isn't it so cool and tortured like me!" somehow makes a good narrative?
>>720579470NTA, you sure there's no significant thing i would miss if i proceed to act 2?
>>720578474A Hunterchad wouldn't have struggled like this.
>>720579524It's a worse Conchcutter
>attack a regular enemy thinking it'll die in one hit>oops it's actually a void enemy even though it wasn't faded and now you take damageThis pisses me off, why even have some enemies already taken over if they're base forms already have the extra health
>>720579610>it never fucking endsI wish. My ideal version of Silksong would have more hidden zones than main sequence zones.
>>720579420She's a competent fighter anon, of course she's a girl.
>Commander Shepard has become a legend by ending the Reaper theat. Now you can continue to build that legend through further gameplay and downloadable content.
>>720579620
>>720574279bilewater is worse :)
bros this platforming sequence when you superjump from grandma's grave is kicking my ass...
>>720579712When does she say that? When infected by the crying baby thing?
eepy
>>720579698TOTALLY FUCKING INFORMATIVE BRO
>>720579680This happened to me with Beastfly, just left the room and he appeared again.
>>720579610I mean right im stupid
>>720577842THIS is what people complain about? An easy as fuck 15s runback?
>>720579734Uh oh, melty!
>>720579812My resting spider wife.
Anon use your fucking tools most of the bosses fucking MELTS to the right tools , you can't play this shit like hk and not be a masochist.
This silk art intentionally avoids the enemy. It makes no sense. It's so bad
>>720579817Sure is helpful and not something that literally happens as you play the game
>>720579654I love how one of them is just "you can also dash by pressing down"
>>720579496I don't know man, didn't mean to brag, but once I switched to wanderer+longclaw+weighted belt the game just kinda clicked and I'm blowing through everything. Maybe it's because of wanderer's low animation commitment? Such a good crest.
>>720579712Oh fuck, I should have gone back to her while cursed, what happens?
Too bad I have to retry the fightFuck it, I'm cheesing him with infinite counters
>at 100% completion and am just about to fight the final bossholy shit what a ride. though im missing like 5 enemies from the bestiary but idgaf lol. time to fight the big bad
>>720579736I went on to act 3 as normal and have almost 100% the game and every guide I've looked up for the few things I've missed have led me to things I can still access in act 3The game is very kind when it comes to missables (even the one "missable" thing in act 2 is just a downgrade from what you can get in act 3)
How hard is mount fay in comparison to white palace? How hard in comparison to path of pain?
>>720579805go do your super meat boy reps
Just beat First Sinner in my second try, was she supposed to be a hard boss? I used Wanderer, Dice & Longclaw combo. Very solid crest for multi-phase boss fights.
>>720579153Hope you beat the "final" boss first, anon
>>720579712I’m sad people hate the parasite. It’s just a parasite and its how they live. Obviously it can’t be allowed to live inside us, but I didn’t hate it.
I just found the apostates key. I have been waiting to get abducted and get into the slab, but it isn’t happening. Should I just use the key and go in there? How do you trigger the cage guys?
>>720578474Summary:>Slashes 1-5: Clearly missed.>Slashes 6-9: Missed due to positoning (bad jump control).>Slashes 10-11: Very close, but momentum and hitboxes make these reasonable misses.>Slash 12: Likely didn't actually come out because Hornet was already dead.
>>720579698i dont understand why people complain about eitherits their fucking thoughts, if horney is a girl who wants to pet everything then its her fucking right to write it downif hunter wants to be edgy and write edgy shit its also his righti personally find hillarious that in every interaction with other NPCs hes that one serious confident warrior who wants to save the land, and then she looks like a total silly goober when floating and only thinks about petting stuff
>>720579805You got the stick-to-walls charm? It helps a little. Absolutely hate how there's momentum to touching a wall so if you come in too fast to a small one you can still slide right off.
For me it's the railgun silk tool (from the ice mount area)
>>720579914tbf there were entries like this in the first game aswell, with the fungal balloons to be exact
>>720579817>>720579914Very amusing posts
>>720579929Bestiary doesn't count against 100%?Wonder what I'm missing then
>>720579942If White Palace is a 7 and Path of Pain is a 10, Mount Fay is a 4.
>>720579914Seriously there's nothing wrong with having Hornet's opinions, at least it's Hornet and not some fucking weirdo.
>>720579878Shitposting it is. I guess it isn't a school night, so go ahead and post little lad.
>>720579972where is your cogfly bwo?
>>720579942Much easier than both you basically just harpoon whatever's in front of you, but the time limit is annoying.
>>720578474wandererGODS would kill that shit too fast for it to bug out
>>720579924nothing really beyond that dialogue, which was very unhelpful
>>720579923No, really, do it cursed for another ending.
>>720579419none of those guns are worth using
>>720579138Lay off the meth bro.
>>720578474outskilled
>>720579889>reached 4/4 pips of tool damageLet the games begin.
I made it anons, please (you) me so i can feel a sense of pride and accomplishment
>>720579942A lot easier than both
>>720579680Left walls in general seem to be bugged and cause a lot of things to clip out of bounds.
>>720579952>Just beat First Sinner>I used WandererYou didn't beat her.
>>720580067good job bro
>>720580016These ARE Hollow Knight, I'm posting why that idiot complaining about the Hunter's Journal in Silksong is fucking retarded.
>>720580006Railgun is so fucking nice , its essentially the architect's range attack
>>720579952She's a fair boss, I also beat her within I think 6 tries. Very fun imo
Implications of this little baby?
>>720580016nvm, disregard this post im a moron lol
>>720580067(You)
>>72057997210/10
>>720579420You call her madam when you meet her
>>720579339the double jump spin slash is really good in certain fights because it can bounce back projectiles
>>720579942It's a fraction of the amount of damage zones with a timer attached when you're in the snow. You just gotta go fast.
>Hornet's moans of pain during that sceneBoner, no...
Can you still 100% your game in act 3 if you haven't done everything in act 1&2?
>>720579947fucks sake if I wanted to play super meat boy I'd go play it instead of silksong>>720579991yeah it definitely helps but I suck at platforming in general
>>720580115he's a fatfuck
>>720580053WHAT HAVE YOU DONE , WHERE ELSE AM I GONNA GET MY MEDICALLY PERSCRIBED PLASMIUM ?
>>720579963>Open inventory>It can't shut the fuck upI wonder why.
>>720578620ZANZIBART
>>720580115The implication is that you didn't really accomplish anything and that the cycle of dogmatic oppression continues anew
>>720574785For me its my fucking R2 being so goddamn sensitive if i just brush my finger over it I wind up dashing into shit
>>720580120Too cute to be canon. 11/10
Finally got the fight with Shakra, but it's suck a godawful fight, bosses that just teleport all over the place are terrible design.
>>720580229They did that on purpose
>>720576682It's pretty clear that GMS is pretty controlling and oftentimes cruel when it comes to her "children". The weaver boss is a captured runaway who has her silk pinned inside her, the lead up to GMS arena is filled with cages of other captured weavers, and hornet herself was likely to be controlled and possibly tortured as well by her. The weavers seemed to just want to be free of her influence and she took it poorly, and made Lace to be her favored kid, and they eventually wanted nothing to do with her either. The citadel is only corrupt because of GMS, and her waking up from whatever stasis she was in is what's causing all the people going crazy.
>>720580067How are anons taking this long on average? It only took me 40 hours. Is it because I used guides for like the last 5%?
>>720579765you are just looking for things to get mad over at this pointat least silksong gives an ending thats not only phenomenal but explains everything without leaving it too vague for some tranny to do 6hour essay
>>720579283what is your point faggot
>>720580191You can recharge it infinitely at the bench at that point.
>>720579952First Shitter is much easier than Widow IMO, literally all you do is:>wait for a boss to appear>use clawline + attackIt stuns her and since clawline gives i-frames you just auto-dodge all the knife stuff..Repeat over and over for a very easy fight
>>720580191From his infinite crack gland of course
"I don't feel like playing the game" type of a build
I just wanna say bros.Much like when Elden Ring first came out, but even moreso now because reviewers never played it first, I'm glad I got play Silksong with you all you lads blind. It was fun just sharing shit and getting surprised by atuff people found and experience but you never did.Let's meet again when there's DLC or with Duskbloods? Or Prime 4? Or maybe some other big secret filled game.
>>720576595there are only a small amount of entries like that
>>720580248Yeah I've been there. Multiple times been wondering why dialogue has been advancing itself and realised it was because I was very gently squeezing R2
i explored pretty much everything, how am i missing 2 spools in act 3
>>720580115>literal baby already wants to be bred until her womb is packed full of eggsIT'S AWWRRRRIGHT!
Is the run from high halls to the first shrine the best way to farm rosaries?
>>720580362basedI fondly remember the original hk threads too
>>720580303Clawline is honestly overlooked.I include the clawline upgrade tool in my every boss run build, it's just free damage and negates the Team Cherry™ boss design of having the boss teleport around for difficulty
>>720580362eat shit and die
>coral toweri feel like this place should be an entire new area and not just some arena rush mode with every other monster just to fill the journal. sad, the place is pretty nice
>>720580434>>720580434>>720580434
>>720580428I think so? Use the thieving charm for more money (provided you can no hit the big dudes).
>>720580428Yea, at least its the least annoying one
>>720580362Legit one of the comfiest gaming experiences I've had despite how badly the game pissed me off at times. Here's hoping the DLC or distant threequel give us a similar experience.
>>720579952She's not that hard, but she is one of the only good bosses in the game
>>720579664>I need to rescue all the fleas in act 2?No, you're good. 22 is the minimum for them to get to the lake (the lake, the lake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4En8MMQMDo). As for Lace, just go up the elevator.
>>720580469I genuinely think TC expected people to use it more.Flying enemies and tons of bosses get mogged so hard by effective clawline use.
is the mist supposed to be stupidly tedious?
>>720580257sure but thats technically how she should look like lore wise
>>720580290God imagine if this can lead to a bad ending
>>720580497It was an entire area in the OG trailer.
>>720580362Still on the fence about Duskbloods. I hope it's good but I don't trust Nintendo online enough to buy a system for one game.
>>720580096Reaper and Wanderer rules, all other crests have dogshit down attacks, can't be bothered, tbqhwyfdsa (to be quite honest with you famalam desu senpai anon). That purple shit is much more OP if the enemy doesn't move much or get stunned.
>>720580362I went offline for the last week while playing through SS, some guy got shot apparently
>>720579952>longclawYou didn't beat the fight
>>720580560No, it's unfortunately a very fast sequence despite how unique it is, get out of here before people tell you what to do.
>>720577915of course, in fact i'm waiting specifically for it
>>720580020>20 Mask shards>18 Spool fragments>57 tools>6 crests
>>720580550Yeah I had mentally filed it as semi-redundant movement tool for most of the game
>>720580674I have all crests, tools and mask shardsI guess I'm missing some spools? Is there no achievement for them?
>>720580669if the puzzle is about killing those yelling souls I'll unironically uninstall this game
>>720580817What, I also think Silk Hearts would count too
>>720580393nvm found an easy near the top of bone bottom and somehow missed one close to deepdocks travel point
>>720576998>not hear what Hornet's thinking or how it felt the last time she wiped her ass with a leaf.>That's what made the Hunter's descriptions interesting to me, he explained how the creatures you slay worked or tidbits about them and rarely he talked a bit about himself.Then you're misremembering. I just clicked on some random entries. Didn't even go through a quarter a fifth of them. And they're full of personal remarks, comments and observations of the hunter.
>>720579952>compassyou haven't even started the game
>>720580635lmao what, Hunter's pogo is way better in combat than Reaper's dogshit stall pogo, and Hunter has much higher DPS due to faster attacks + focus. Reaper is the noob trap crest because it's the first one most players will come across and it makes platforming easier.And Wanderer is unbalanced and basically cheating.
>>720573334unironically buff almost every boss. savage beastfly forma del fuego should not be harder than the true final boss
>>720580278For me I just took my time, spent a lot of time revisting areas especially in Act 3. I admittely did look up a guide to find out which memory locket, spool, and mask piece I missed, cos I missed exactly one of each annoyingly.
>>720580946If we were to compete in drawing a map of Pharloom by hand. Including marks and comments of where all the stuff in the world were. Then I'd win. Because I used the compass.
>>720579810Yeah
>>720579712Dude wtf I thought we were frends
>>720576595She's a woman after all.
does killing the blue assistant give anything? idk if he has a huge hp pool or if i'm just not out dps-ing his healing but i don't give a fuck about running back to him if it's just a lore fight
>>720579963It wouldn't be so much of a problem if there's a way to mute it
is the Multibinder worth buying at all?what's the actual effect?fucking 800 rosaries for probably some shit ass tool
>>720580362It's been a pleasure anon. See you next time.
>>720577847it just seemed to me based on how he also told you to not let him out of the cell, that he was kind of a stoic, and sort of was just pulling a tsundere moment with what he said, a warrior has his pride and whatnot, but ultimately, he knew you were right and he had no negative feelings towards hornet, not really, his story was a tragedy, but hes not angry about it, at least not anymore, hes sad, and he wanted it to be over i think.
>>720581452Hunter's journal entry.
>>720579151Bloodstained has a built in Randomizer but there's a community mod one that pushes it even further.Still neat to have one available on console.
um... so what do I get for beating The Forum gauntlet?
>>720581674vored
>>720581494+1 mask heal , heal in 2 burst of 2 heals
>>720581494Instead of healing for 3 you heal for 2 twice in a row. If you get interrupted you still get a partial heal but the whole process is slower. It's good in some Architect builds where you have nutso silk generation and can facetank some harder bosses and just heal through the damage. But otherwise not really worth.
>>720580674It's also pouch upgrades.
>>720580945But you see. What the Hunter wishes to drink, play with, or finds entertaining. That's based and cool. But what Hornet finds amusing, cute, or disgusting. That's cringe, gay, woman shit. Apparently. According to anon.
>>720580946NTA but in Hollow Knight I never used the compass because I didn't need it and other charms existed but in Silksong I pretty much always have it on since I like it better than most other yellow tools. It's weird how that works
>>720580020btw getting hornet's memory counts as 1% if you havent. mandatory act 3 stuff before the final boss
>>720581494Yes, 33% more healing and you shouldn't be healing when you're at risk in the first place so the longer cast time isn't a problem but you can pair it with the quicker heal if you want and then facetank everything
>>720578354no i have 100% and the only "unique" delivery i did besides the one required for the oil was one that sent me to mount fay, but it just gave rosaries so i doubt it mattered.
>>720581884they pretty much made it so u dont have to sacrifice dmg for compassblue = dmgyellow = movementi think only steel soul has a yellow charm that is just for dmg
>>720580930Must be a secret achievement for some reason?
>>720580930>>720582325nvm I already have the Extended achievement, genuinely don't know what I'm missing
>>720582448Eva?
>>720573987this
>>720582482I keep forgetting about that bitch because I never figured out what she meant by "advancing my nature" or whatever the fuck
>>720579153Weird way to say best
