I am the only Silksong mod user that beat the game. Any other mod is unacceptable.
why can't you just cheat without begging for approval
>>720600793Nah, use any mod you desire, just don't go around claiming how hardcore you are for beating the game (you should not do that even if you didn't use cheats)
>>720600793There's barely anything else worth putting in yellow slots anyway
It is retarded how they locked two essential QoL (rosary magnet + compass) behind charms basically making all other yellow charms useless (other than ocassionally the speed one)
>>720601296>>720601338haven't played this game but is this like a Link's Awakening thing where you've got two item slots but it always feels like you've only functionally got one cause it's a fool's errand to not have the sword equipped in one of them at all times
>i’m the only valid cheaterOkay, cheater.
>>720600793the game only has 3 yellow charms worth using and you have 3 slots
>>720600793Hold up, you're telling me you need to use an equipment slot for the map to work the way it's supposed to? lol. lmao, even.
>>720601296Shards+Anklets+GripNeed all 3
>>720601939No, the compass just shows your position on the map so it's completely useless anyways unless you're a sub 80iq subhuman with 0 spatial awareness.
>>720601668There's four different types of equip slots>yellow (utility)>blue (passive bonuses)>red (battle tools)>a combat abilityYou start out with one slot of yellow, blue and red, but can increase them. The compass goes into a yellow slot, so if you need it, it likely goes on and never goes off.I personally beat the game without equipping it, but I instead had the same problem with two other yellow equips>one that boosts shard drops from enemies>one that attracts money pickups from defeated enemies or objectsLike I put on those and I just never took them off.
>>720602024The grip is pointless, you can already stick to walls using the dash.
>normalfags monkey paw'd cheats returning to gamesfucking hell
>>720600793you literally get a compass slot from one of the weavenests though
>>720602212>get sent to the slab>money stolen
>>720602143I think slashing while sliding down a wall also stalls you for a split secondAnd if not that, you can always mash hover while mid-air
>>720601296Scuttlebrace is funShard Pendant is needed in this economyWeighted Belt is niceBarbed Braclet is for future me when I'm good enough for itAscendant's Grip is greatSilkspeed Anklets are the goat yellow toolTheif's Mark is good sometimesAnd my brain stutters without CompassDon't sleep on yellows
Nah I also beat the game
>>720602212The cloak made of leaves is bretty cool
>>720600793Do Silk mods work on steam deck?
Lol.Lmao.XD even.
>>720603027Needs to disable Fractured Mask
>>720602753this is the mod we need. I want to give my wife a cute little pink bow
>>720602439>Ascendant's Grip is greatI just found the one boss where it'd be useful, and even it was pretty easily doable without it
>>720600793PC vegans are pathetic. At least have the dignity not to admit you use embarrassing shit like this
>>720604065The flower boss I assume?
i've literally never used the compass
>>720604457I can't think properly without it. Even after beating HK multiples times my brain always gets weirded out with it not on
>>720600793you have to be sub 100IQ to use a compass, just open the fucking map and look for the rooms.
nobody here has ever used a directory or a paper map apperently
>>720603027>gets fractured mask>back to quit-loading
>>720604372Aye
Is there a mod that just reverts the nerfs?
>>720605380download the older patch from steam depot
>>720602137Why would you ever need shard drops? genuinely confused since most bugs drop absolute fuckloads and I barely used tools until about the last 20% of the game past injections. Most of the tools do terrible damage even when upgraded and it's always better to hit things with the pin for silk/learning patterns. Kind of feels like a sekiro situation honestly where 90% of the secret tools are worthless.
>>720605487I use them for sniping aerial enemies while exploring so there's somewhat of a constant shard drain going on
>>720605415But I want the bug fixes.
>>720605562Swap between patches based on area you are in
>>720605552That's fair, but most bugs drop shards like crazy even without the badge equipped.
>>720600793You didnt beat the game if you used this "amerilard down syndrome journalist difficulty" talisman.
If you use mods you didnt beat the game.
>>720603027Looks like a challenge for an absolute legend
>>720605628More the merrierI don't need the one that makes you cling to walls, I don't need compass, I don't need weighted belt, I don't need the purse, barbed bracelet is hard to utilize on first playthrough, magnetite dice is just luck, I just use air dash so I don't need scuttlebrace, spider strings only seems to come up here and there, thief's mask maybe if I need to grind moneySo all together that leaves shard pendant, magnetite brooch and silkspeed anklets. I don't need compass.
>>720601939Cute jeet
>>720601296Everybody who ever complained about farming rosaries was either dying and losing cocoons constantly, or wasn't using Magnet + Thief's Mark. If you get the third yellow it's 100% Silkspeed Anklets, accept no substitutes.
I didn't feel like I was gimping myself leaving Compass on all of the time. Yellow tools aren't that good. It wasn't like the blue ones where they're full of bangers
>>720605824Maybe it's crest dependant but I feel like weighted belt is almost required for reaper since it lets you do way more damage.
>>720606332I just use the default crest since there's always one or two changes in the other crests that I don't like.
>>720606216>using blue toolsyou did not beat the game
>>720602212I would buy the Knight cloak
I can't beat the enemy gauntlet in High Halls. The big brown bugs are too scary.

Kept it on the entire timeI only momentarily played around with the other crests. I didn't like Beast's running attack and its Screwattack downslash.
>>720606623You always stay to either side of them. Never get between them. Only attack one at a time, get familiar with how they telegraph each move. Don't stay in the air more than necessary, being on the ground gives you more options to get the fuck out of there.

>knowing where you are should not require opportunity costactual pussy shit learn to read a map
Knowing where you are does not require opportunity cost. Is the apple shit true? Are some people just completely incapable of visualization?
Bro the map just shows rectangles 90% of the time and doesn't update in real time. Don't act like you can 100% always determine where you are on the map without compass.
>>720607217your marker on a map is a basic feature expected of every metroidvania.not an optinal buff. learn how to design a game.
Why does Team Cherry insist on grinding some basic ass mobs like a dozen+ times for an additional piece of text
>>720606623I beat them today and I suck at the game. If I can do it you can do it. Just keep them both on the same side of the arena and dash back after every hit.
>>720602698I really want to know the logic behind the decision to make it cost silk in the first place. I really hope we get a proper post-mortem for this game at some point.
>>720607217It wigs out my brain sometimes remembering what room I'm in in reference to the map.>>720608147I think it's because you can make enemies stop and sing with it
>>720608280>you can make enemies stop and sing with itand they snap out of it and wreck your shit pretty quickly, it gives you zero advantage.
>>720608147Probably something silly like dream nail warping costing essence in HK, so this gotta cost something
>>720608367Yeah, I'm just thinking that could be the only rationale.For Anklets I think TC thinks it's simply COOL that they consume silk. (it kinda is) Maybe that's the case for the needolin too
>>720603027what's the difference between No Reviving and No Respawns?
Why the FUCK is jumping DOWN into a hole the bellbeasts dug fucking Needolin+UP While the song that plays to the ghostly heavens is +DOWN?Harms my autism something fierce.

>>720608496Quiting presumably doesn't save. Needs DS style no-pause too.
>>720608147If you didn't use it, you could just stun enemy AIs
>Love shaman moveset>Love throwing knivesreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>720610350>read this post>just found the crestWell then
Game balance makes a lot more sense when you have infinite silk.
So about crests, what's the condition for upgrading them? I've upgraded hunter twice
>>720605824>I just use air dash so I don't need scuttlebracescuttlebrace is an air dash upgrade though. you dash backwards without changing direction so its faster
>>720606623Save all your items for the fianl two and melt them
>>720611038I just don't like the input
what other useful tools even are there that take up the orange slot desu I have found all of the tools so far very underwhelming and not even worth using
Haven’t touched the compass yet. Usually the maps have little landmarks on them that you can use as a basis for things, and then those on top of the markers for benches and merchants just make it unnecessary.
>>720611121>desu I have found all of the tools so far very underwhelming and not even worth usingyou're talking about the offensive ones? they're all good. even the base dagger is 3 attacks of damage at range. you're gimping yourself if you aren't just chucking tools at problems whenever you feel like it
>>720606096I needed about 10,000 more rosaries than I got from playing.Why even make up this kind of bullshit?
>>720611173I don't like the extra half-full second of brainpower not having Compass causes in me.Also you can use hornet's horns to measure where precisely you should be under for Super Jump openings.
>>720611486>Also you can use hornet's horns to measure where precisely you should be under for Super Jump openings.Oh shit thats a good point
>>720610935It's just hunter. No clue what the condition is. probably something to do with memory lockets.
>>720600793This mod is useless once you unlock the slots that are always available regardless of crest.
>>720611483Yeah I didn't lose a single rosary and still wound up needing to farm several thousand at the end of the game for 100%.
>>720600793very cool anon, i hope you get your recognition and validations from random internet strangers. im pretty sure this will boost your self-esteem that you are sorely lacking!
>>720611667I like always having Scuttlebrace on simply because it makes me smile anon
>>720611775Taking mongolian basket weaving a bit too seriously there chief
>>720600793Devs legitimately like fucking with the players with all these game design decisions. Might as well scratch your balls with sandpaper.
>>720600793any mods that make the game fun?
>>720611627That's kinda weird, just makes me less likely to switch from hunter
>>720612642Yes >>720603027
grip really feels like it should've been an upgrade rather than a trinket.>permanently slotted for parkour because it gives you a moment on tight wall jumps>most yellows are useless/situational enough that there's no real point in taking it off outside of thatits too useful for yellows, but not useful enough to be a blue.
>>720600793based. i used Cheat Engine to give myself unlimited reloads when i played REmake 2 and REmake 3, because i don't like being asked to conserve ammo in my shooters.
>>720615470oh that topic, weavelight as well.having a fourth pip that regenerates is such a massive upgrade if you use silk skills that im surprised they didnt give us a fourth silk heart instead.
>>720608678you know where you are in a millisecond because of a marker.it's a standard QOL feature. shut your dumb nigger mouth you retarded fanboy.silk songs devs are retarded. thy do no know better than the best Metroidvania devs.
>>720600793I love seeing lifelong Hollow Knight fans playing a Hollow Knight game for the first time!
>>720615470Nah grip starts to feel bad in certain ways. I'd be pissed if it were permanent
>>720616108the grip works as long as you're holding your directional movement key against the wall, if you let it go you slide as normal and pressing movement against the wall locks you in place again.
HOLY FUCK FLEA JUGGLE IS ANNOYING FUCK YOU SETH FAGGOT
>>720606810every heal is capped to 3 because who the fuck knows but it's especially retarded on beast because you already give up so much. why does it only have four slots?
>>720616307>juggle minigame>the only thing even remotely close to juggling in the real game is deflecting traps from sinner's road bugswhat a shitload of fuckat least first game had everybody's favorite bosses to juggle defender and zote, silksong has literally nothing
>>720616307Use the Shaman Crest, it's a big help
>>720616586The worst part is sometimes the fleas patterns just give you nearly impossible scenarios. Its horse shit
>>720616682Ty anon did it first try with shaman. Holy fuck it feels like it was designed specifically for shaman and nothing else. Suddenly those impossible scenarios with reapor didnt exist
>>720610935only hunter, first is free, second needs all memory lockets

>retards saying tools do no damageDo they live in a different reality or do people really not know how to use them? Shit like the boomerang can easily be made to hit multi on single enemies and is great at crowd damage due to the piercing. The drill fucking shreds any enemy you can get away with using it on.Like I use the robo crest just so I have 3 tools instead of 2. The 3 silk attacks I have are kinda underwhelming.
>>720617728Wtf, how do you open that up
>soft bodied enemy standing completely stationary, doing nothing>touching any part of their body does as much damage as getting hit by a weaponWhy do enemies even waste time using weapons? Lace would be more deadly if she threw her rapier in the garbage and just used her fast movement speed to teleport on top of you repeatedly
>>720617802Probably by using it from the top the first time you went up there
Onlything im missing now is the hubter journal, can i just beat the game and fill it out after
>only missing one mask shard now>no clue where it could bepain
>>720618754I think I know which one you're missing, it's super easy to miss
>>720600793GIVE ME A FUCKING SHARD MAGNET PLEASE half the fucking mining spots in the game just knock the shards into oblivion

>done the game, all mementos>only things left are steel soul modeI think I'm done. That was a good game, especially for $20.
>>720608147Lore reasons. She uses her silk to create the string.
>>720608618Because you are bringing UP the bugs and dragging DOWN the spirits;)
https://www.nexusmods.com/hollowknightsilksong/mods/46i beat the game and reduced my frustration
>>720617761I think a lot of the people bitching about the difficulty are memeing themselves by not abusing tools. Keeping up the pressure with them and silk attacks makes you shit out damage and gets fights over with way faster.
>>720608678I haven't been playing much but there's at least a big room with a narrow corridor at the top that doesn't really show up at all in the map. It left me confused with the marker on, let alone none equipped. At this point I resign myself to just unequip it when I need to grind because in this game that's a thing.
>>720617761If you think the drill is broken just wait till you get the projectile version that can also ricochet
>>720618754This is me but fucking memory lockets
In HK it was acceptable because right away you knew you could equip more badges (it was just the Paper Mario system so I'll call them that) and the cost was minor.In here there's multiple unique slots and you only get one of each at the start.
>>720616234The issue with the grip is that it carries momentum. If you try to grip onto a wall while falling, you will drag down the wall for a good while depending on how fast you were falling. Meanwhile the default wall cling will stop all momentum no matter what before sliding down.
>>720600793The trick here is that the compass is in fact actually useless. You don't get new map data until you sit on a bench, which means the compass is useless in undocumented areas. And on revisits, you always start at a bench, so you should know your position even without the compass.
>>720621113Yeah, I'm not enough of a masochist to do steel soul either.
>>720600793I still do not understand how team cherry think the compass is a good gameplay mechanic.
>>720616694You can diagonal slash them too, doesn't have to be upwards.
>>720616307This and flea dodge are the only things I have left to do in this game.
>>720620894It was in brightvein
>>720602024Grip is actually worse for parkour. It's much better to be able to slide down.
>>720625003Grip is worse for downwards parkour since you're inevitably accelerating. For upwards parkour it's better since you're grabbing walls at the apex of your jump (or double jump)
>>720606096>or wasn't using Magnet + Thief's MarkI mean this just proves you were farming because that's the only use for this combo. I don't want to farm at all.
>>720625136>figthing enemies is now farmingLike no shit you wont have rosaries if you skip enemies
I got to the 15-target minigame, lost a bunch of times, and that's when I installed the mod to add 1000 rosaries. It saved me a shitload of grinding and I don't regret it.
>>720625307It's bad to leave on because if you enter a boss room then every time you get hit you lose all your money.
>>720625504Well, thats true, but I I am a rosaryfag anyway, worst case you'd lose shit you farmed last run and there arent that much sudden bossess either, usually its pretty obvious and you can even turn back if you want.
>>720625463You can alt f4 to close the game without saving, that's what I did after wasting 700 rosaries on that game.
>>720601939I mean it's annoying but that's how real maps work and I know it's hard to ask modern people to do a little thinking but it's completely workable without the compass.
>>720600994fpbp and op destroyed
>>720606096I literally didn't lose more than 500 rosaries over the entire game and still had to farm thousands. Stop lying faggot.>Thief's MarkNet loss during a simple exploration when a stray hitbox can just fly into you
>>720606096>Everybody who ever complained about farming rosaries was either dying and losing cocoons constantly, or wasn't using Magnet + Thief's Mark.this except I actually unequiped magnet during act 2 and I never had to farm even once. it's also retards who bought everything at the start, started whining that they couldn't afford anything afterwards and went to farm instead of just progressing and getting rosaries that way, i just did the latter if there was something i couldn't afford.
Hornet used goods
>>720602024I can understand grip for bosses in act 3, but why the fuck you need anklets, same with shards. You can just convert rosaries to shards, you don't have anything new to buy anyway, save the pay for pinmaster upgrade. Before you reply, I use tools but not spam them every time and I still have stockpile full of shard bundles
>>720607380>basic feature>any metroidvanianot all games are the same nigger, do you just want every game to be metroid.
>>720615470Grip feels like ass, sliding down is useful in certain areas.
>>720617761They probably didnt get the damage upgrades
>>720610935just hunter, when you get to Eve in chapter 3 and used enough memory lockets you can bind her and you regenerate silk to full while sitting on the bench
>>720600793nvm me posting best mod
>>720615470you dash up walls in this game rather than directly off of themit's a weird change but it also makes that charm useless
>>720600793>>720601296I wish I could go without the compass but I'm retarded. I also need the silkspeed anklets and the weighted belt
>>720600793Despite this not being an actual problem because you know where you are if you just read the maps and look at the shape of the rooms (much like how real maps work) and because there's no other item worth putting in a yellow slot anyway, I'm okay with people making or using mods that make the game easier for them if it means they can have more fun.What does peeve me is the fact that for some reason, the dude who made the mod felt the need to add that line about how it "should" not require opportunity cost. Just stay in your lane and make your baby mod for spatially unaware people, but don't make judgmental statements about how the game "should" be designed.
>>720632685reminds me of the retard "UX" designers from other game studios shitting on elden ringthese people just don't understand game design yellow slots aren't even important
>>720632685It's doable without a compass, but it's annoying having to second guess my position constantly. Especially if you've just been exploring without a clear direction
I was interested in this one https://www.nexusmods.com/hollowknightsilksong/mods/28 but it's Chinese so it might be malware
Can somebody explain why ANYONE would waste their time using a compass? Can't you just look at the map? Don't you want to have a fucking charm that suck up rosaries, considering how many times they end up rolling into the abyss?I for real can't even begin to understand the mindset of somebody that needs this charm.
What's even the point of this mod?Yellow slots are useless for the most part outside of a couple and you get a universal extra yellow slot anyway
I don't get why this is necessaryjust fucking put the thing onthere's not that many trinkets that are THAT useful, especialy in yellow, they're all mostly utility or quality of life shit. I think I had magnetism equipped for 99% of the game.My biggest annoyance with the game, honestly, was how when you get a new crest or upgraded one they would fucking force it on you and not equip anything on it. Just a minor annoyance, considering, but still annoying all the same.Beast cleared me through the whole game, that shit was fucking BUSTED, the only thing I really missed from the others was the blue slot for shield.
>>720625003You can slide down with grip.

>>720625098>For upwards parkour it's better since you're grabbing walls at the apex of your jump (or double jump)you can guarantee you jump at the highest height possible by doing the wall dash
>>720633252i think compass is really good when exploring an area you 'dont' have a map forit allows you to see your exact position in the void of the map which is actually quite helpful and lets you more easily identify what to expect, connections with other areas, etc

>>720634691I like the boss fight at the end, but the fight arena rooms before it are a dragRemember to break the stalactite after what, second or third fight arena?
>>720600793No, fuck you. This isn't a Metroid game where the map is easy to digest. Between Hollow knight and Silksong, I've over ever played one metroidvania with a bigger map: Prince of Persia the Lost Crown
>>720635571Never mind, I'm a retard. I didn't read the description.
>>720600793I 100%ed it without mods. So did consolefags.
>>720635483Boss fight was pretty easy, it was just tedious having to redo the arenas on the way up if you die on the third one. Also, not a big fan of the mob arenas before bosses thing they've done a few times so far.
>>720632609 Same, bro. I tell myself "this run, no compass," and five rooms later I'm staring at the map like I'm reading IKEA instructions in Braille. It's not even that it's hard, it's just that the room shapes start blending together and I end up walking in circles like a moron. Silkspeed anklets and weighted belt are gospel though-without 'em everything feels like wading through molasses.
>>720635851The game relies on mob fight arenas a bit too much for my liking, and more often than not they're harder than some of the actual bosses in the game.
>>720635943I did the conscious decision to not use compass until I got world sense, and started to sweep the map for the last remaining things, and that helped with my comprehension of the map.
>>720600793>opportunity costWhy does this sound like some shit a retarded political American would say, exactly the kind of person I'd expect would cheat at a videogame
>>720629063I don't want any game to have a map system as shit as Silksong where you need a "buff" just so the map isn't completely useless.
>>720636295>political AmericanWorse, corporate American
>>720625463The reward for the 2nd game where you have to hit the target 25 times is literally only 220 rosaries, so you are objectively bad at this game
>>720636379Funny how Nine Sols was so criticized at its 1.0 release even if the map was way better than the shit we have in SS. And they even nerfed it even more post release.
>>720636379>Completely useless>Huh I'm in a big room>Look at map and see a big roomOkay, I'm not giving up my other much more useful utility items when I can just use my head
>>720636015I get that they needed to add in the arenas to break up the massive world they made, I just don't get why you would put one before a boss. Especially multiple bosses (I'm mainly complaining about Groal here)Also there are way too many times in this game where the first time you see an enemy type is during a boss/arena
Why did they make Seth telefrag so hardWhy is TC making me annoyed at a kid that died of cancer
>>720600793I can already tell the comments on that mod are basically>I have a great sense of direction, I just want to see the player iconwith zero self-awareness.
>>720636597>Also there are way too many times in this game where the first time you see an enemy type is during a boss/arenaThis is especially annoying in regards to hunter's journal, I find
>>720636521there are countless "rooms" that don't show up on the map.just display the marker like any other game.it has nothing to do with other utility items, there' no logical trade of there. the devs are just retards.
>>720602024do anklets provide any actual benefit in combat?like, do you dodge faster or further away?or is it purely for exploration purposes?just curious, still havent gotten them yet, started late, etc
I just got to the spooky ghost area... it's so spooky...
>>720600793Yellow charms suck anyways.
did anyone think that getting hit into void out spikes during Nyleth was fun at all? a single person? no?fucking remove it then
>autists are now pretending they beat the game without using the compass
>>720606623I just glued myself to the wall and let Garmand kill the last wave, took him like 5 minutes. The enemy gauntlets in the game are easily the worst part, there's way, way too many of them.
I know I should just snap my rosary strings, but for some reason I don't want to.
>>720638726Even worse, pretending they ran around with the Thief charm equipped when that would be an overall massive net loss of beads unless they literally beat the game without taking damage.
>>720627649Farming didn't feel that bad. I just went to the hallway with the violin bow enemies while having the thief mark equipped.
>>720630843is it customizable to work on boss rooms only?
>>720637616>do anklets provide any actual benefit in combat?they're instrumental in the Last Judge fight because you have enough speed to out run her, even if she's hopping towards you after you escaped being corner locked. Constant dash away and then dash attack is a great way to get in safe hits on her, thanks to the ample arena you fight her in.
>>720639881yeah this what I expect of the "people" that hate this game
>>720601296Magnetite + Thief + Barbed for farming rosaries and Belt + Dice for boss fights But yeah I think I never unequipped the compass since it was always in the perma yellow slot. Longclaw was in the perma blue slot, love that item
I need a mod that relocates Zaza inside Bellhome after Garmond dies.[spoilerhe doesn't have to stay there and starve to death ];_;
>>720640571This is the one time the game made me feel something.
Can all fleas be collected before ending act 2?
>>720602698Now this is something that should be in the base game, it’s pretty much the dream nail of the game
Are there enough memory lockets to upgrade all the crests?Just got the witch crest and I don't have any left to upgrade it.I have pretty bad memory, so it's gonna be a pain to find all the lockets I missed.
>>720641687Yes.
>>720605487>a sekiro situation honestly where 90% of the secret tools are worthlessMost tools cheese the shit out of the games, you are just trash. Git gud.
My main gripe with t[Pay 60 rosary beads to read anons post]
>>720606794how'd they make a paint bubble underwater?
>>720608147It's because she uses her Silk as string. It makes sense in the setting.Gameplay wise it's a bit dumb but lore wise it's perfectly justified.
>>720642016Question, how do I open the door at the bottom of deep docks? No spoilers pls slgive me some leads. I've collected the 3 songs already. Dunno if there is even an act 3 or you people are trolling.
>>720643202There is a thing you can cling onto with the needle air dash ability
>>720640923Finding out Bell Beast was a mom in Act 3 made me feel pretty fuzzy inside.
>>720643291And to specify: the thing to cling onto is on the other side of deep docks
>>720643291Uh I didn't see anything there, you mean from the left side? Will check.
>>720643386If you're talking about the door at the bottom, near the Bell Beast station, go to the bottom right side of deep docks, from Far Field side.
>>720643140Gameplay > lore every time, they done goofed with this one
>>720643486>>720643140I think it'd be fine if it didn't continuously drain Silk.Have it cost 1 bar of Silk and let you hold it for as long as you want.Would still work lore wise, not break anything by being too powerful since enemies snap out of it when your 1 bar is done with anyways, and not have this awkward stopping and starting the song over and over again when you want to hear what characters are singing.
>>720643813yeah, that would be a great way to do it
>can only carry 10why tho
>>720644761I never even used one of theseAll because the NPC dishing them was in Sinner's Road of all places
>>720644761I haven't used these things a single time, surprised they would cap it.
>>720600793Joke's on you. I uninstalled my pirated copy and went back to switching between Tomb Raider, Arkham City, and Alien: Isolation.Metroid Dread is the only Metroidvania that's come out this decade that was actually fun to play and doesn't have any goofy Souls shit in it.
>>720645096Technically Nine Sols only has Sekiro shit in it.
>>720644924>>720644940I've used them several time because they are free and infinite>Halfway up a giant platforming section and die>Fuck it I'll do it later when I'm less mad>Eat a silkworm and sleep it offor>Realise I forgot to check something back the other way I came>Suicide>Worm>Profit
>>720600793keep your compassgive me respawn near boss roomshow many metroidvanias have you played OPi played so many of them i only need to use these tools on my first playthrough, in any other's i've already memorized the whole map
>>720645250>>Realise I forgot to check something back the other way I came>>SuicideWhy not just save and quit? You restart from your last bench that way anyway
>>720644940>>720644924I use them pretty liberally, there's not much reason not to.Like when I die somewhere off the beaten path and am too lazy to go back there for my cocoon but also too lazy to kill myself to get it to spawn close by. I just use them as time savers really.
>>720645339why when I could just kill myself?
>>720645193I never want to do another sword parry or corpse run in any game ever.Life is too short.
>>720645407>sword parryGod I wish the options in this game were better. I only ever parried accidentally and the silk skill felt pretty underwhelming.
>>720645394>>720645378You get a free-use warp to your last used bell beast station in act3 so I just never saw the need for them
>>720643202One door only opens if you get to Act 3.
>>720645536yeah but when I was exiting the void I realised there was some enemies back the other way for my Hunters Diary
>>720642041are you a retard? tools are a crutch. they are designed to not be needed and therefore they are optional assists, which means they only apply to scenarios where a good player already wins. by definition, using a battle tool in battle is the opposite of getting good.I bet you heal damage
>>720645528Cross Stitch is pretty great. It doesn't do extreme amounts of damage but it has an absolute shitton of parry frames, you can mash it as a panic button really easily
>>720645612You'll re-enter that place to finish the game anyway
Now that I think about it, I don't think I ever intentionally used the charge needle attack.
>>720645654I just had, I was leaving to scour for the last 6% I needed
>>720645746It depends on your crest, it's really fast and easy to use on Hunter for example.
>>720644924There's a shortcut directly to the guy from just below in Greymoor.
so can we mod in proportions like picrel yet?
>>720645930Guess I never found it
>>720645854this, whenever i want quick damage, i use it
>>720645854I used Reaper and it's pretty much worthless on that. The swing is aimed diagonally upwards of you and doesnt extend far infront of you so it seems to be more meant for flying enemies but then it's so fucking slow that everything that flies can leisurely move out of the way after you release the button
>>720645854>>720646285I pretty much exclusively use Reaper so yeah, that would explain it. Its sprint attack is too good to ignore.
>>720645968Stop wanting to fuck bugs.
>>720645628>they are designed to not be neededThe fact that they aren't necessary doesn't make them not handy. Running around with a full sack of shards and passing up free damage just makes you a bit retarded.
Okay i'm at the end of my HK playthrough and i'm ready to just get spoiled on stuff I may have missed.Tell me where all the cool secret shit is.
>>720600793It's true that knowing your location shouldn't require using an equip spot but also the yellow tools are total shit so you're going to be using it anyway
>>720645746I used it against Phantom because she'll spam parries if you attack too often, so hitting her with one or two big dick damage hits over a bunch of small hits is preferable.
>>720645746It doesn't even feel like it does more damage than the time it takes to get multiple hits in
>>720647652why, my peenus weanus of course :)hahah! :Dit's my weeeeeenus peanus! :) hahahITT: Tell me where all the cool secret shit is - my answer is, of course, my peanus weenus :Dhahaha!
>>720600793How is it there is no arts of Hornet getting fucked by those dogs from Sinners Road? In one attack they literally mount her
>mfw the mistI think I give up
I got the three melodies so I think I'm pretty close to the end of Act 2. Is there anything missable I should do before I continue ?
>>720606465>Using BeastYou did not enjoy the game.
>>720651930Beast is the best for fighting, and getting used to its pogo takes no time. The pogo is even less of an issue once you get double jump
>>720651682Nothing missable for 100% ingame completion but there's lots of Dark Souls NPC quests half of which you probably already fucked up
Do I need to enter underworks throught the mist to get the ability I'm missing?
>>720652195No. You never need to clear the mist, except for 100% completion, I think.
>>720652404Damn, so I did all this shit for nothing
>>720652452Phantom is a way more fun boss than Last Judge though
>>720652452I forget where the ability is, but it may be an alternate path to get to it, though. The way I got there was through whiteward? maybe?I genuinely forget where that ability is acquired from
>>720652404>>720652195Wait you can get to the Organ and do the fight there from the Citadel itself? I thought it was locked off and only accessible through the Mist.
So all moths in HK are dead?
>>720652593Pretty sure you can get to the organ only through the mist, and it's an alternate way to enter the citadel if you so choose.
Voided enemies were a mistake
>>720652591I'm here and I think I missed a double jump or something to reach certain areas on the citadel>>720652556last judge was best boss so far imo
>>720652729So, I think in underworks you get some ability that lets you cling onto metal rings.And then later, you use that ability to get to another ability's location
>>720608147It should be 1 flat cost and then you can listen for how long you want.
>>720641940>Are there enough memory lockets to upgrade all the crests?yes
>>720651494was the only time I needed to look it upyou have to play the needolin next to the fireflies and follow them for the real exit
>>720652913felt good figuring that one on my own
>>720652195Mist leads into the Exhaust Organ which is connected to the Grand Bellway and I think Underworks.It has a boss fight that gives a silk skill but aside from that it's just an alternate non-Grand Gate entrance way into the Citadel, there's no progression movement ability there if that's what you are after.
>>720652913yeah but fighting the ghosts sucks fucking ass
>>720652952is there a map for mist/exhausted organ? I found a secret exit on exhausted organ not even sure if it's worth following
>>720653148Figuring out how to navigate the Mist is a puzzle.
>>720653148A map for Mist would be worthless and the Organ is super small and straight forwardAfter you beat the boss there the Mist dispels and it's just a simple one screen area you run through
>>720653073pogo
>>720653073If you take it slow and don't rush they are trivial, wait for them to charge you, pogo once while they pass you by, then wait again. They have very little health and are slow, as long as you don't rush through and let them gang up on you they are very trivial
If you're not able to tell where you are on the map just based on surrounding points of interest like shops, benches, and stag stations then you're a directionlet.
>>720653462>If you take it slow and don't rush they are trivialthis is my issue with like 90% of the game, making progress feels super slow
What is it with the SHARP uptick in posters who are genuinely proud of being mouthbreathing casual retards in the past few years?
>>720653620what's with the sharp decline in good games
>>720612642yeah, uninstalling it and asking for a refund was super fun for me. you should try it out.
>>720627649>Pretending you don't have to buy benches and fast travelYeah dude the bead system sucked.
>Shitter using cheats to beat game>I'm hecking valid!
>>720655748year has been great for video games
>>720645628You just proved me right, retard. By them not being needed, they cheese the game. git gud, bitch nigger.
Not allowing people to bring in speed/silk related charms during the races kind of defeats the purpose of this kind of game
>>720607217I would be happy if the game simply highlight the room you were in, and the compass narrowed it down. That would be a fine compromise, I think.
>skarrsingeranother fucking respawned mob arena before the bossfucking cease
>>720600793i used cheat engine and a guide, enjoyed the game, already 100%
>>720605487>Most of the tools do terrible damage even when upgradedThats blatantly untrue
>>720653475I can but it takes an extra half second of extra brainpower. Sometimes I mindlessly traipse through rooms and trying to look at the map without compass discombobulates me for a moment.I want the mental apprehension to occur immediately and effortlessly.
>>720662857This. The most important point is that if you've ever used compass before and look at the map without it on; you'll waste a second scanning the map for your icon that isn't there. Then you go "oh no compass fuck where was I.... ah yes there."Shit's mildly vexing.
>>720611121Buff them with poison niggaLiterally all of them are good, with some being outright broken. You have zero reason to not weave them into your normal assults and actively hurting youreself if you dont. Tacks and cogfly are notable for being absurdly broken with next to no additional thought needed on yourpart. I went through most of the game with triple daggers + longpole.
The only retarded mechanic haters have a point with is losing ALL silk when a heal is interrupted. There is no reason why it should be more punishing than just taking damage and losing the initial silk
If you didn't beat the game in the first few days, you never beat the game. You used mods. You used cheats. You used guides.
>>720663757who cares?
first patch barely changes the game, retards
>>720600793Yeah, I got all achievements
>>720600793Do people actually use/want the compass? Both in hollow knight and silksong I enjoyed looking at the map and figuring out the layouts and where I was at any given time.
>>720601939>the way it's supposed tohave you never seen a map?
How do Cogflies work, time or number of hits?
>>720625463bruh it took me 2 tries. you don't have limited time, just take your time.
>>720602024you just proved the other guys point, all useless
>>720666626They take damage from enemy attacks, when they took enough damage they disappear.
>>720606465I feel like beat used to be very strong earlier in development and they kept nerfing every aspect of it until the game released. Terrible run attack, terrible charged attack, terrible pogo, terrible slots. The only thing it has going for it is the facetaking against some big enemies the don't fly or jump around everywhere.
Fuck this game it's too hard
>>720664382A nerf is still a nerf.
>>720663623Use the bell that shields you while you heal
>>720667723The run attack is goodThe pogo is extremely broken in battles
I love this game, what a challenging delight
>>720608147it's just another el ebin XD silkpost jolt to the balls
