>>720799981Asking for art of Hornet fucking the huge flea
>>720799981What the fuck is the abomination of a fight that is Savage Beastfly II.Why can he fly off screen so you don't know what height he's going to charge you at, why does he have 2 damage delayed lava bomb flying adds, why can he remove the ENTIRE floor?
>>720800586It’s not that bad. I did it pretty early with six health and triple pins without the broken shit.
All this art reminded me I had a couple of Hornet pictures from this guy
>>720800701I did it with 6 health and poison tripwire + long pin and The winning fight took about 30 seconds of non stop momentum to kill him, but it just becomes complete unrecoverable shit if you take a hit when he's summoning 2 of the fliers.
I saw the red memory recently. Pure fucking kino bros

how did they fuck it up so bad
Where'd all the snails go after you remembered stuff?

>>720801529>void worshippers summon void>sacrifice themselves to stop the voidi don't get it
>>720801314They got what they fucking deserved
>>720801191the adds shoot 2-damage projectiles that also set the ground on fire, and they can fly out to the side so you can't even hit them without tools
>>720801678Shamans are void worshippers now?I thought they were soul mages.
>>720801626Eh, they're cultists that hide in the shadows and manipulate the mindless darkness that would consume the world in an instant if given the chance. They quite literally hid their nature from her and then hid away smugly as they waited for the world to die because they simply don't give a shit about anything as long as they managed to kill god.>>720801678They summoned the void to kill god, and were willing to sacrifice themselves not to stop the void, but to finish off the god they were trying to kill. Also they wanted to see if it could even be done. They clearly don't value their lives very highly, which is probably a necessity for someone dealing with the void like that.Snails are not to be trusted.
>>720801678They're old and they don't really give a fuck. They just like seeing cool shit. Like big ass void voring a sexy milf god and said void getting obliterated by a fucking flower.
>>720801606>>720801612oh ok my b
>>720801719Your magma shield bro? They also die from silkstorm, which you probably didn't have in 1, hen you were stuck with that lance.
How do I get into the coral zone (which I learned about from the bestiary place)? Here? Wall doesn't seem to lead anywhere
>>720801898That's an exit, entrance is way more to the left
>>720801312wdym? its perfect
hornet got slabbed
>>720801898There's an entrance rom the Pintress's house who tought you charge attack on the west side of blasted step (right next to where you fought the twin giant conch flies)
>>720801869>Your magma shield bro?I tried it and then I fell in lava and still got two masks of damage so I immediately removed it again>they also die from silkstormdamn, I was trying the dash-through-enemy ability but that one didn't one-shot them sadly, I did go back to silkstorm not long after that fight
>>720801898That's the exit, the entrace is way to the left, you know where the Pin master is? its that same path but higher, I think it requires harpoon to do iirc
>>720801976I find it funny that the flies literally didn't care about Hornet because they'd rather fuck their own mom or something
>>720802031>I fell in lava and still got two masks of damageIt has a cooldown.
>>720802031The shield reduces any fire damage, but it has a cooldown. As for the skill, I generally dislike one hit skills. They do comparable damage, but if you miss, that's it, but with silkstorm you still may get a few hits.
>>720802108Which is bullshit by the way, if you're gonna take away my precious blue slot, then that shit better be permanent. Fuck everything that uses fire in this game. And the maggots.
Why Mother Silk is so hot?
>>720801934>>720802040>>720801996Found it, cheers
>>720801869None of the adds in beastfly 1 have projectiles and are all pretty damn slow and non-aggressive so they're very easy to avoid and farm silk from.The smaller arena and slow low damage enemies lets you keep your eyes on beastfly the entire time.You don't need silkstorm in beastfly 1 as the adds he summons are so slow they easily get crushed by him, which isn't the case with 2's adds.Specific hard counter charms tend to be an indicator of shitty design in general.
>>720802108>>720802194ohhh that makes sense, yeah I had probably hit a magma turd and I fell in the lava right after, anyway I replaced the bell with the poison thing lol no regrets
>>720802258Massive dumptruck. I still like the Radiance more though.
>>720802085Yeah it always bugged me tooIt could be related to how the Pale King just disappeared with no trace, but that's unlikely
>>720802336>I replaced the bell with the poison thing lolAbsolutely fair.
>>720801537>I wonder if the Vessel plan failed because a Vessel would always be impure solely by existing, or if the Hollow Knight truly could have been a pure Vessel if things had gone rightThe Pale King thought a vessel can be pure but it's clear by the end of the game that he never fully understood the Void or how it worked, or what makes the difference between a pure or impure vessel. He thought void was basically just the absence of everything and if a living being was imbued with void it would just turn into a soulless automaton. The PK underestimated it or it could've just been a whole lot of wishful thinking on his part, because he was desperate to believe it due to there being no other way to save his kingdom.In reality the void itself has some degree of sentience to it. It can change itself, has capacity for malice and vengeance. It can also be protective, as seen from how Ghost treats Hornet. And that's just the void itself. If you combine the void with real sentient bugs (this is how you get Vessels) it'll definitely create something capable of having a will, a mind.If the vessels were ever 'pure' to begin with (I don't think so) they lose that purity as soon as they experience anything in life that elicits a reaction in them. For the Hollow Knight, supposedly the purest Vessel of them all, all it took to render it impure was just the faintest notion of having a connection with another bug.Maybe I could see a Vessel being pure if it's basically kept in total isolation from the start of its life, depriving it of all sensory experience and thus preventing it from ever developing opinions or impressions of anything. But no Vessel was treated like that. The Hollow Knight wasn't pure, Ghost had a mind and a will and a soft spot for Hornet, the Broken Vessel wasn't pure. Don't think we know of any vessel in the canon who is truly pure.
>>720801946>doesn't stop enemy attacks so it can whiff because the enemy's attack moves them out of the hit zone>doesn't stop enemy attacks so it can put you in positions where you get hit by a later part of the enemy's attack or just spits you out into their hitbox
>>720801804Sealing a huge ass void is kinda hard. Nosk had a few vessel bodies in the Deepnest, for example, it's not unreasonable to think that there may have been more exits.
>>720802375>spoilerAh, I see you're a man of culture as well
>>720802415I think the Pale King WAS right about the Void, but it was the fact that the Vessels were still borne from him and the Pale Lady that allowed them to think and feel. Ghost treats Hornet like a sibling because Ghost isn't fully Void.
>mfw shaman crest with 3 silk hearts + weavelight and the electricity charmI have to admit infinite homing electrified swords does sound busted but given how late you get everything you need to make it work I think it's balanced
>>720802602Electricity charm?
>>720802602It keeps missing against fast enemies, like you know, the final boss.
>>720800586I kept getting juggled and killed whenever he'd spawn two adds at the same time so I cheesed the fight by running out of the arena to the left where beastfly doesn't follow but the adds do, killing them there, then running back
>>720801715Name one thing they did wrong.
>>720802069don't they go through the effort of making her a gimp suit?
>>720802789No, anon. That was fan art.
Wow they ruined Lace with Lost Lace. The first two fights were pure melee vs melee kino, Lost Lace is le ebin kite the mage fight.
>>720802335Fat guys home in on you deal 2 damage, and their aoe is huge. The small flies may also zone you. Only crawlers are reasonable for a third boss in the game. As for the charms, I get what you mean, but use your frontal cortex (didn't beat the game). The boss is in the lava and his adds spew lava pools.
>>720802819ah, I never actually encountered that so I was confused
>>720802835>Lost Lace is le ebin kite the mage fight.I get where this is coming from, but I genuinely felt like the Lace fights were too easy and didn't really make her feel like a proper rival. Lost Lace was an excellent fight imo and more or less made up for the earlier disappointment.
>>720802789They strip her naked and play around with her stuff
>>720802439It literally makes you invulnarable, you shitter. It's op as hell.
>>720802995The fight is boring as shit and all it does is incentivize toolspam.
>>720803039That I did see, meant the stitched together gimp suit someone drew in the same art style as the game
>>720803079git gud architech shitter
>>720803079I thought it was fun, and I didn't have to resort to spamming tools.
>>720803072yes it makes you invulnerable until it ends and you're clipping inside some lingering hitbox
>>720803168Don't even have it but I can clearly see how much less boring doing the obligatory playing keep away vs her would be with it
>>720802629coral land item in act 3
>>720803181It has enough lingering I-frames after the parry is done to literally just walk away.
Lost Lace felt like the kino opening to an even bigger better fight against a god or void itself.But there isn't one, it just ends and you go home. HK had you dive into the final bosses dreams to slay god.
>dying to sandworms (or any hazard?) puts you at the closest platform to your death rather than the one you started atWTF
Seth was a pretty fun fight disregarding the fact that I had to start over like 3 times after he teleported inside a wall
>>720803486I found him pretty hard, despite him only having like 3 moves
i just downloaded the updatedid i brick my game
>>720803521It was one of those fights where I had to stop bad habits to beat him.
>>720803486The trick with Seth is realising the 'arena' isn't the room itself but the space between where he throws his shield to your left and right. Viewing your space as being that limited with you meant to doge his attacks then strike was the epiphany I needed to beat him first try after I stayed playing by that rule after dying by the start of the second phase.
>high halls rushholy mother of kinoi was getting disappointed the other 2 song things didnt have bosses but that made up for it>go in >'oh another trash rush'>hey this is kinda long>is that TWO of the summoner guys?>is that a NEW big nigger enemy?>IS THAT TWO OF THEM?it might has well have been a boss, it was more fun than every boss up to this point
I love Hornet.
>>720803858She's the best.
I love seeing the tiny ants carry the corpses of your enemies away
>>720803563please respond
lmfao
>>720804025which enemy is this?
>>720803792All it was missing was a part where the floor turns into spikes and 5 of those thrower assholes that dash away from you pop out
>>720804067Little hoppy flappy fuckers in the Vaults
>>720803858I can't like her until I see her real face. Just like makeup, I'd prefer to see the woman under it.
>>720802415I think it’s funny that the pale king wanted a mindless child, but he himself as a pale being radiated sapience and still let the hollow knight be near him. Oops.
I finally beat that cunt in Bile Water. I feel so good right now. Took me like 2 hours
>>720804118Fucking faggots
>>720801234>Not HornetxLaceGay.
>>720804181Lace can watch
>fighting disgraced chef>he just left the fight in some point>it happened two times team cherry instead of nerfing should fix this fucking bug
>>720803792The best part is that you can it with your pals Garmond and Zaza.
>>720804137
>>720804137>her real face.Anon. That is her real face.
>>720804216Lace WILL watch
>>720804169Yeah, that area is rough as fuck. When fighting a boss a generally decide if I want to play it straight or if I want to cheese it with weapons. Bike water sucked so hard that he’s the only boss in the game so far that I decided to melt with boomerangs. He lasted for maybe 30 seconds. Fuck that guy and that zone. I don’t even know his moves.
>>720804258A Mask is a Mask even if they make a new Mask later when Growth has happened
I think I'm finally almost done after 50 hours? not a completionist run yet but I have all masks upgrades, deliveries and wishes done (I think).I'm missing a few tools and materials though.I'm at the lost lace fight, and died at the third stage, not sure if there is more after that.It has been an ultra fun game, and might be my favorite metroidvania. the early game was mighty difficult (pre splinter and moorwing nerf) and some of the runbacks were brutal like bilewater. the progression is really well done, it's not just the upgrades but you really feel like you as a player is getting good and the latter bosses, gauntlets and platforming felt quite easy compared to act 1, and the game makes you feel like it's just as much because of the player skill, in addition to your in game power ups.I love the tool and crest system, everything is viable and you can really express your preferred play style. The only gripe I have is that the poison tool + bug tool is overpowered and can let you cheese bosses by just focusing on dodging, instead of punishing small windows of vulnerability. the most fun I had was when I played the bosses "ethically" without the poison bug tool as a crutch.
What is your favorite>crest>red tool>blue tool>yellow tool>silk skill
>>720804332To be fait the boss itself is actually really easy. I'd genuinely say if he were on his own he'd be the easiest boss of act 2 but because he's waiting behind a CBT gauntlet and one of the, if not the worst run up in the game you cant really relax and learn his moves easily.
>>720801678>snailman, pls help me kill god>>ok>snailmen, god is gonna kill everyone I need to kill it again>>okMakes sense to me.
>>720804237I only found these 2 before the moorwing boss fight (they didn't join for some reason) and they joined in one random trash fight in choral chambers and haven't met them again...
>>720804360Did they also make masks for every single Vessel straight out the egg? Admit it anon, the Pale King's children just look like that.
>>720804509Mask Makers are very busy people
>>720804509Maybe pale beings look like that and normal bugs wear masks to imitate pale beings.

I know this game has quite a few barebones zones, but the worst has to be wormways right? I mean, it’s just worms and a guy. Even the wisp place is at least weird.
>Get all fleas>Complete every mission board task>finish act 3>83%Where's the last 17% of the game hiding?
>>720804603This... actually makes a lot of sensePale beings or gods uplift bugs to being Higher Life Forms, then they take on Masks to more solidly form their minds to the tasks they doMask Makers must be a symbiotic life form to Pale beings, in service they make masks to help the uplifting process, and maybe they get power and lifespan out of it?
>>720804727Go back during act 3.
>>720802415Knight's purity depends on the player's action I think. He's a very player defined character.If you just do the basic minimum to get the HK ending, never do side quests or anything of the sort, it can be argued a Knight like that is truly pure. He does the bare minimum to get the job done and gives no fucks about anything but his prime directive to contain Radiance.Meanwhile a Knight that goes around helping, that shows curiosity and will to uncover the truth of Hallownest, that ends up being a Knight that isn't pure. But then again that Knight does stick to just containment, he outright kills the moth.
>>720804746I did. it’s cool, but it’s still an entire zone that’s just one thing. It needs to have at least something more going on
Anyone know how much missable content there is in act 1?I already know I missed a boss fight in bone bottom. Also theres a mist area I didn't go to.
>>720804509I remember the Mask Maker from HK saying something to the effect that not everyone has a face, so he makes masks for the faceless (like the Midwife who still has a "feral" head).
>>720804815You can still go to the mist area.
>>720804603This is a really neat idea.>>720804819This is true, but that also implies that there are those that DO have faces and don't need masks to obtain a higher sense of self.

>>720805168There used to be beauty in these lands until the Citadel shit all over it.

>>720805168I guess they couldn’t thematically justify hitting trash cans with sticks as a soundtrack for an area.
>>720804228They did fix it in the patch, the mentioned they did, but it still happens lolIt's unfixableMuckbuggies cannot be contained
>>720805227I want to know how the fuck there were smart bugs in the area without a Pale being present.
I'm surprised Architect isn't a much liked Crest. I like this and I especially like that the pogo can be charged
>>720805012I am still under the assumption that to a bug with an exoskeleton, the mask and the face are one in the same. What matters is if their mask is part of them, or if it was built and donned, and I will stick by this until we're given more definitive proof otherwise.
>>720805390The Big Drill attack is great and I love it, but I have real difficulty fighting bosses with it

>>720805468Angled pogo is unnatural.If it's angled it should be triggered by a diagonal input, not down.
I die to flying enemies' contact damage way more than their attacks

>>720805168Unironically commentary on the destruction of nature by industry.>Citadel builds it's waste ducts right above the pristine Bilewater>turns it into a rancid, filthy encrusted place>puts the tragic son of the monarch that's dying and wasting away in charge of managing the entire fucking operation>gives you two areas if you go east enough where you can appreciate just how utterly everything got completely fuckedOnce it was pointed out to me I gained a new appreciation for Bilewater. The theme is somber because you're witnessing an utter tragedy. You're Treebeard witnessing the destruction of the woods by Isengard, or the hobbits seeing the scouring of the Shire upon their return.
>>720805227>Hornet in fanart.jpg
I wish to do things to this bug
>>720805123I disagree, I thought it was a very fun fight.
>>720805624I interpreted it backwards I thinkI thought the ducts were once "aquaducts" that brought in water from the lake to the east and that as the water got used up it was poured into what became bilewater. I guess it makes more sense your way, but then the question is where did they get the water from to begin with? Mount fay?
>>720805594It might be more worth while with the Pinstress charm to reduce charge time but I've not tried it
>>720805332I'm pretty sure people misunderstood the exact effect the pale beings have on bugs, or it got retconned.Because by this point it's very obvious bugs don't need pale beings to ascend from beasts. There were entire kingdoms in Pharloom that didn't depend on Silk for their sentience.
>>720805468Hunter I can't, but I find the charged architect pogo to be infinitely easier.For me personally, the distance travelled with the air charge is probably what I intuitively expect with the hunter pogo, which is why I think it's easy to fuck up.
>>720805729I think he got it pretty spot on, but there's also the possibility that they drew water out of the Blasted Steps and coral caves and turned them into a desert.
>>720805618Flying enemies in this game are just trash. EVERY flying enemy has the same shitty hit-and-run tactic flying just out of reach, and many have projectiles on top.
>>720804137Hornet having long pale hair hidden inside her mask would be hot.
>>720805769You see, I’d say you are right but when you go to the surface, outside the reach of Pharloom, there are bugs that look similar to generic NPC bugs, but they behave like real bugs.
what is the point of a gauntlet before a fight than just to waste your time
>>720805231I need a mod that relocates Zaza to Bellhome. Little guy doesn't deserve to starve to death waiting for a dead man to wake up. Who do I ask for commissions?
>>720805769I think the pale beings are essentially a shortcut to sentience. Bugs can naturally grow into it and build kingdoms, but being in the presence of a pale being makes the bugs start at the same place it may have taken decades or centuries for others to reach
>>720805308lel, so true
>>720805729It could have been both. Bring in water from the eastern lake and dispose of waste.I don't remember exactly where I read the lines but I think it was Shakra that points out the reason Bilewater's in the state it is is due to the waste produced by the Citadel above.It also explains why the Bilewater residents fucking hate the Citadel so much they string up pilgrims that dare enter.
>>720805891Test your focus.
>>720805468>another angled downward attackfuck. I was planning on using that. oh well, into the garbage it goes next to hunter and beast. maybe witch will be the one to finally replace wanderer.
>>720805891to consume traps you've set
>>720804169My favorite boss? Groal.
>>720805769mantis tribe, the hive and the shroom hivemind were counterexamples present in the first game
>>720805891Challenge you, look cool, and potentially drain your resources.
>>720805919Not the pilgrims fault.Bileniggers get the cogflyrapebots.
>>720805729the aquaducts ARE aquaducts and worked just fine in the past.They pumped so much refuse in from the underworks and vaults vents that it bubbled over and got in the clean water.
>>720805965This is almost exactly what I did.
>>720805965>popping all of your cogflies like a sperg>no bombs>almost fucking diedPoor form desuYou didn't cheese the game right
>>720805970Do we know for sure those pre-date the Pale King though? They didn't worship or were part of Hallownest but that doesn't mean their sentience wasn't due to his presence.
>>720805931Witch has a great moveset, but the heal will filter you.
Maybe pale beings just give you the “mare machines” type of intelligence while most bugs are just tribal.
>>720806015Right, so it wasn't the Ducts that tainted the water it was the Underworks. And then it ended up tainting the Ducts above.Still, the point is Bilewater's music is tragic and somber because the area is a goddamn tragedy. fuck the boss run up though, goddamn fucking run up
>>720806074I wanted to like witch but you are right, not having a proper bind filtered me. I sincerely hope for a dlc that gives a ng+ with all crests unlocked so I could play the entire game with witch
>>720804137HOT
>>720805965>not bombing those dodongos
>>720805819Yeah my instincts tell me it should travel farther, if not infinitely until it hits something or is cancelled. Other than that I actually think diagonal pogos are fun
>>720805891that's part of the balance of the fightso is the runbackthe most difficult "fights" don't have a gauntlet or a draining runback
>>720806138Yeah either way, bilewater got aids'ed by the citadel like the green prince's butthole did.
>>720806061I only remember the mantis tribe having confirmationthey made a pact with the pale king for non-intervention
>>720806053I tried going with bombs once, they didn't kill him. And what's wrong with popping all cogflies at once?
>>720806204I'm fighting the ant bitch right now. the gauntlet adds nothing. the two big dudes aren't really a challenge.
achtt too wholesome… the beads were worth it…
>>720805769Pale King is described as a different kind of light to radiance.It's less that he gave them sentience and more that he gave them free will.There was no free thought under the radiance but there was also total unity.Compare this with the Pale Kings rules where bugs were free to do and think as they wanted and while for the individual that's pretty cool it also led to stuff like the Soul Sanctum taking their research into fucked up directions directly against the kings wishes while he was busy trying to stop the Radiance infection the first time.
Dunno which of you recommended Rabi Ribi to play after Silksong but its actually really good, im beyond surprised
>used all my lockets on Hunter and Wanderer early on>no motivation to use the other crests with their limited charm slotsCan't they make it so you can switch slots between crests? There can be a cost or a specific place to do it so you can't do it willy nilly.Now I probably won't use the other crests until way into the lategame if I can't find more lockets.
>>720806257You can only have 4 active at a time, so you wasted the others. It didnt matter in the end, but it's still bad form
>>720806290If you explore thoroughly you’ll find plenty of lockets.
>>720806053Bombs don't even do all that much damage for how few of them you get. Concutter or boomerang are far better choices when tacks aren't an option.
>>720806259then you passed the requisite skill floor needed if they are nothing to you. it's arguable that those guards are not really necessary, I agree. That fight is one of the weaker arguments for a gauntlet before the boss.
>>720806354It's not about the damage, it's about the "fuck you" factor
>>720806331Oh shit, really. Haven't used them before this fight.
>>720806370I'm arguing that they don't value the player's time.
Yeah hi how the fuck do you find your way around the mist?
>>720806281I thought only the moths worshipped Radiance before.
>>720806420sing to the fireflies
I beat nyleth earlier todayTook a few tries but I basically facetanked her with wanderer and flintblade. Felt like a rape desu. Not really fair. But hey, a heart is a heart and I need to save Pharloom
>>720806436Moths were the only survivors of the ideological/meme purge to remove Radiance from the physical world.
How do I slip into this wheel?
>>720806508Cog core.
>>720806508You have to exit east fromn the cog core
>>720804137Imagine hornet with long, luscious bed hair.
>>720806412Anything a player doesn't find fun will not be worth a player's time. I agree that that fight's gauntlet is bad and does waste player time because the gauntlet isn't enough of a threat or a challenge, and 99% of the challenge is the actual boss.That doesn't apply to other fights though, such as Bilewater.
I'll do this fight properly when they release Godhome.
>>720806412Nigger you're playing a video game how the fuck are YOU valueing your time
>>720806576Lol as if you would be capable
Not like this...
>>720806556That bottom right one with the silk falling over her face is pretty lewd.
>>720806532>>720806545Okay I'm retarded I just hadn't tried from the left beforeThanks though
>>720806576I still can't see the tell for the attack. Literally impossible.
What does Silksong improve over Hollow Knight?
>>720806705combatbuild expressionmovementside quests
>>720806705Everything
>>720804137You literally see her face in the normal ending and its a giant U shape, its exactly like the mask, not a little head underneath.
>>720806752>side questslmfao
>>720806705Movement and combat feel nicer, and I like Hornet being able to talk and contribute to the story in a way that the Knight couldn't. It's still got it's problems, but they're few and far between, and it's a wonderful game nonetheless.
>>720806798care to expound?
>>720806705tracking side quests
>>720801678They never intended Act 3's bullshit, they wanted to seal the GMS away and Lace ruined everything >>720801763What do you think soul is anon? I'm half joking but the void worshippers in HK also did soul stuff iirc so the link seems to be there
>>720806827bring me 3 mossberries and then we'll talk
>>720806834That's a good fucking example.
Couriers bacon is making me scream
>>720806705Colored tools are an improvement. Not the actual implementation, but the idea is solid. Gadgets are a decent combat addition. Supporting characters are also better. That's probably about it.
>Looking down at your experiment only to see your son and you love him>and he loves you
>>720806942How did he fuck a tree exactly?
>>720806970wid he willy
>>720806970
how would you change the tool system?I'd reduce the uses and make replenishing free.
>>720807023I wouldn't.
>>720807023remove it entirely
>>720806970drill penis
>>720807023Make its own separate bar that needs to be filled to get use, like the silk bar but it doesn't heal you. And it also goes to zero when a boss fight starts.
>>720807023Pretty much that yeah. Not all of them need to have the usages reduced. Or at all. I'm not sure reducing the number of usages is required. I mean ultimately limitations are the same.
I'm so confused reading around now that I'm done with the game.Was Last Judge considered hard? The runback was annoying but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the boss itself. It took me some runs because I was not really looking at what the boss was doing, but when I started to stop and slow down I finally understood, and with that mindset, I downed it after a couple of tries.I've seen so many people say that the boss was so hard that it made them stop and put the controller down and rage about it.
Genuinely how the fuck are you supposed to deliver this fucking meat in time?Not even talking about getting hit, there is just not enough time to deliver this piece of shit.ALSO WHY THE FUCK DOES SPRINTING INTO WALLS DAMAGE THE DELIVERY AHHHHHHHH
>>720807117It really pissed me off. But I was rushing too much. The stupid runback with that fly in the beginning tilted me every time. I hate all the flying enemies.
>>720804430>Hunter>Don't use em'>Claw Mirror>Compass>SilkspearYeah, I beat the game.
>>720807215Its very possible, if you do it with double jump its even easier
I thought about godhome in Silksong and it seems like it wont work>need shards to use tools>nowhere to farm inside godhome itself>bosses will never be balanced around tool spam properlyit will be a mess
>>720807023Make it a different button press every time I tried to use tools I would move out of position or misfire a silk skill
>>720804430WandererVolt VessleFractured Mask, Multi Binder, Injector Pin :)CompassThread Storm
>>720807117the only thing I had problem with LJ was that I'd lose 2 masks from contact damage from a stupid backdash it did. Imagine dodging all attacks only to get behind her to smack her a couple of times only for her to do a backdash the moment you touch the ground.
>>720807314godhome had you fight multiple gods between benches, so you can't reset tools between those
>>720807215Kill everything on the route and dont rest at a bench so there's no enemies
>>720804430>Wanderer>Threefold pin (seriously underrated)>Longclaw>Injector band>Thread storm
>>720807215wait until you get the double jump. and/or go through the mist if you're really chafing at this route. getiing hit is also absolutely worse than running down the clock, knocking 1-2 sections off of it.
>>720807215I did it but I went through the Citadel Spa since I felt it's the safer route. I also used the silkspeed bracers. Still took me a few tries.
>>720807314Just make Godhome let you remake weapons for free at benches there, but only there
>>720807215Equip the movement speed item, clear every enemy on the path without sitting on the bench, learn the scales puzzleEven without the hooks hot you can barely manage it. With the hookshot I managed it to deliver the meat with almost two health bars
I don't understand why the snail family is helping hornet after they got they wanted.
>>720807314You don't consume shards in dreams and Godhome was already a dream.They could easily add some mechanic to replenish tools somehow if they wanted, but it's not really necessary. And Architect can already do it.
>>720807482They didn't though. They wanted Silk dead, but she wasn't, she was barely hanging on in the void.
This game is driving me to the brink of insanity. Having to fight bosses who can hit trade with you with ease or are jumping puzzles and flea juggling It drives me up a fucking wall and yes I'm having fun
POSHANKA :D
my wrist hurts
>>720806942>the power of love damned the kingdom
>>720807486As an Architect enjoyer I'd be happy with a part of the game where the other crests can shine more anyway.Nuking bosses down with tools kind of defeats the point of remixed challenge areas. I'd try out Witch or something.
>>720807562I bet they fuck
>>720807593women can't have sex with each other
>>720807615They're magic bugs they'll find a way
>>720807593Hornet pledge to be a virgin forever after realising she'd always outlive her partners, haven't you read the lore?
>>720804430>CrestHunter's. I like the whole "don't get hit" thing with the evolved form. I still sometimes mess up pogging but if it's a hard platforming section I switch to reaper. And if the widows are just that short I switch to Wanderer's but so far the only time I've absolutely needed to was the High Halls trial.>red toolANCIENT PHARLOOMIAN WEAVER BEAMS>blue toolI mean there's so much utility in blue but I guess the hook. It makes the grapple attack stronger.>yellow toolClinging tool. God I love not sliding down walls so much.>silk skillGET PARRIED! GET PARRIED! GET PARRIED!
>>720807404Can you use the elevator in Exhaust Organ while delivering? Is it only Bellway and Ventrica that break it?
>>720806942I think the Vessels were never truly hollow enough for the Pale King's plan to work, but this was the moment he realized that for himself, as well as that it was far too late to go back.
>>720805624>>720805168Fuck I just realized Verdania should totally have been the past-version of Bilewater instead of shunted off to the side. Is there a reason that wouldn't make sense?>>7208070231.Make almost ever yellow tool a straight upgrade with no cost, it was retarded in HK that I had to choose between combat charms and the compass, and its retarded here that I have to choose between the compass and the magnet, it adds nothing2. Let me have more blue charms on everything and make em' stronger. Like Hollow Knight basically3. Uncap shards, reduce cost a little bit, nerf the strongest stuff so I don't have to be thinking about not accidentally breaking the game.
>>720807651So why does err the weaver just make guns like literally guns what's the point of that?.
>>720801067for me it was the other way
>>720807482Snails didn't want shit to get blown the fuck up. They're not villains wanting the void to kill everything, they just worship the void.The entire thing happened because of Lace regardless. They completely did not account for that variable because why the fuck would they.
>>720807117nah thinking back it wasn't that hard. Everything about the moveset is fair, maybe some attacks will catch you off guard the first time. The runback is easy enough if you practiced it.>>720807215I did it on my first (serious) try, but it was basically after unlocking every movement upgrade. Just go through the route to the Gourmand once clearing all the enemies (except the pond skaters, those respawn but are basically a non-issue), then go back the same way to Bellhart to double confirm no enemies/which ledges to jump on and accept the quest. Don't spam run, just dash and be mindful of ledges and don't take damage. I didn't even use the Silkspeed Anklets and wasted some time entering 2 wrong rooms and I still had about 2 bars worth of timer left.Crest shouldn't matter much but I used Reaper since the pogo is easier.Also in case it wasn't obvious, do all of the above without resting at a bench since the enemies respawn.
>>720807765Literally everything is Lace's fault. Damn brat needs correction
>>720807731I think Verdania just being completely devoid of life fits better, though then again "Verdania" in the real world is just a fucking cave.>>720807747Anon, the question isn't why do it, then question is why NOT turn your silk into laser beams.
>>720804237It would have been cool if they let you have both quixote and shakra help you if you fulfill the conditions instead of one or the other
>>720804430>cresthunter. diagonal pogo is amazing if you learn it instead of reeing out and switching to wanderer>red toolcogflies. id use them if they were the worst dps in the game. i just like summons>blue toollots of options but maybe weavelight because the effective cooldown on grapple pisses me the fuck off>yellow toolanklets>silk skillparry
>>720807023Late game enemies need to drop more shards. You shouldn't have to farm rosaries to buy bundles if you want shards.
>>720807812Reminder Hornet strings Lace up by her silk every night and corrects her sexually.
When I enter the flow state, no man can defeat me.
>>720799981now tha tI reached act 3 this is not so comfy anymore
It's so weird seeing other places like metroidvania have a meltdown regarding SS when me, someone who has just played a few out it think it was hard, but not THAT hard. The only one where I really went "fuck this place/fight" was Bilewater and the High Halls Gauntlet.Regarding bosses, I didn't feel any of them were unfair.
>>720804430WitchShakra's ringClaw MirrorsAnkletsParry
>>720807765>The entire thing happened because of Lace regardless.Wouldn't it have been worse if Lace didn't save Hornet and Silk took her?
>>720807908There are no men in the game, only bugs.
>>720807928Only part that had me fucked up was the Rasher quest.
>>720807117I'm not very good at the game and it felt very fair. The runback wasn't hard but that one Driznit along the way is a complete piece of shit that easily adds 15-20s to the runback. That shit was not okay.
>>720807967>final DLC boss is a giant boot stomping on you from the top of the screen
>>720808024crazy how i could solo the entirety of pharloom and hallownest
>>720807215Platinuming death stranding prepared me for this shitClear the path from enemies beforehand, use speed boosts like fleabrew and anklets
>>720807970Ehhh, that one was easy for me. Maybe just because I opened up tons of places before I did that so my route was okay. I did it without even the double jump skill it was fine.
Why the fuck do people want DLC? The game is done. Its finished.Its literally a DLC on its own in the first place.The game took 7 years to come out because they wanted to jam in literally everything they could think of, and they did.What else would you want?
>>720807961Honestly? No. Worst case scenario is that Silk lets herself die and takes Hornet down with her, and Pharloom is free and almost entirely intact because the corrupted silk never appears, and the best case scenario is exactly the same EXCEPT the Knight shows up to save Hornet at the last second.Sure it's likely that Hornet dies in this ending, but the consequences on the rest of the kingdom are far less horrible than when Lace intervenes.
the mask maker keeps telling me i have a mask on, well i can't take it off pal
>>720808121More bosses
>>720808121Hollow Knight's DLC were kino, so Silksong's would probably be kino too.
>>720808130If I pull it off, will you die?
>>720808121Anything. They set the bar before adding a shit ton of dlc for free, no way they don't they do it again.
>>720804430>CrestI like Beast the Best>Red ToolI think that Hornet's canonically favorite tool is the Buzzsaw (And its mine)>Blue CharmEarly game its Skull Mask for being able to survive. Late game it's spool extender for being able to hold more emergency heals>Yellow ToolI enjoy the Rosary Magnet the most. Almost never took it off as soon as I got it, and I'm sure it has saved me hours of gametime>Silk SkillThreadstorm has managed to get me through a number of bosses that spawn enemies so it has a special place in my heart
>>720808175it would be very ouchie
>>720808171They should add crest swapping in the DLC
>>720807812Only act 3. Everything prior is the result of either the weavers or GMS
>>720808110>Ehhh, that one was easy for me.I personally didn't mind Bilewater or the High Halls gauntlet, but hearing this makes me legitimately confused. Good for you anon, I wish the Rasher went as well for me but I just hated that shit.
I miss shade cloak
>>720799981I can't be the only one disappointed that having your needle repaired and subsequently sharpened/oiled doesn't minorly change the look of its shading at least a little, making it cleaner and less dulled in game instead of just changing its look in your inventory. Could've even had a mechanic the longer you go without resting at a bench killing things the more the hue returns to it's original look.Would've even liked a little embroidery on the edges of her robe after getting the glide ability too but I get that's a little much.
>>720804430>crestWanderer's for exploration, Hunter for bosses.>red toolCogflies. Come on is there really any other answer?>blue toolLongclaw. I was complaining about the reach for a while and then when I got this I never ever took it out.>yellow toolInjector Pin, easily.>silk skillThread Storm or the parry one I forgot the name. But mostly Thread Storm.
>>720807961As other anon said, without Lace there Silk just accepts death and tries to take Hornet with her. But I don't think Hornet would have died since Knight shows up clutch once more.
Where's my epic Pale King memory fight?
>>720808304What route did you head through? I've seen a lot of anons agree that going through the exhaust organ makes the quest a lot more bearable
wow i sure love bumping into every wall and ceiling for 10 hours straight to progress the story because it's locked in some hidden location with just one hidden entrance
do bugs fart?
>>720808432I agree, maps should have had an opening on them to show you where you could use it.
>>720808432What the fuck are you even doing? Looking for spots to super jump at?Light you dumb idiot. Look for a light source shining down. That's how you can tell.
>>720808432when you find it you'll be mad and think "I'm sure I checked here"
What parts of the map are optional/skippable?
It should only be optional upgrade stuff in the secret places, hiding a whole area in a very hidden spot is silly.
>>720808379The expected one through Shellwood and Blasted Steps. I'd never even considered that going through Exhaust Organ was technically an option, and I'll probably try that out on my next playthrough. Honestly it was just the time limit that had me fucked up and stressed out, considering that I did the Lacquer quest without any hassle or stress whatsoever.I just think it's funny that I had no problems with any bosses or locations in the game, just to get heated as fuck at that one particular fetch quest.
>get through bilewater>few areas later get double jump>ok i'll come back to it to see what i missed>mfw there's still like another 70% to go and it's all even more aids than the first part
>>720808603Except for all the places where theres no indication yeah
>First SinnerI just beat this bitch and still don't know what the fuck just happened. One of those times I was just mashing buttons and happened to win at the end.
what does poisoned flea brew do
>>720808804It's the opposite at most. Places with light sources not having an opening above.
>>720808813same, fight was a blur for me but was fun
>>720808813One of the fights where fighting like a xenomorph with rabies works
>>720808664I'm just glad i found the Wreath of purity before going through part 2 of bilewater.
>>720808432>>720808432I did the same thing and did the whole run around bumping ceilings and hiting walls. super jump the elevator below grand gate
>>720808818the same as flea brew but you leave fart clouds that poison stuff
I fucking hate these cunts with every fiber of my being
The unraveled is kicking my ass. He has TOO MUCH FUCKING HEALTH
>>720808121There's several areas in the release trailer that got cut, I was looking forward to the actual coral zone the entire time, instead it was just a dusty and desaturated platforming gauntlet.

>unravelled is filtering /v/>karmellita is filtering /v/>last judge is filtering /v/>motherfucking beastfly is filtering /v/These are the people I share a board with, gross
>>720808121Wrong.
>>720801678They've been involved in void fuckery since the first game
Is it possible to enter the citadel through wisp thicket? I'm pretty sure you can grab the wall leading into it without double jump by leading a flying enemy over, but the part of greymoor where the entrance is located seems gated by act 2 upgrades.
>>720809306>stay tuned for 2032 to see how that turns outwwwwIt's a shame I know most journos throw out those jokes out of genuine pettiness because "lol 7 years" is pretty funny now that we finally have the game itself.

Is flew brew basically the same as infection juice?Now that we know that Lifeblood is just as destructive as the orange stuff, could it be that its just used as a drug (or alcohol) when its not busy mutating and making bugs aggressive?I mean the brew does make you faster and do more damage, just like it did to infected bugs in hallownest.
>>720809417HK had a way better story in all regards
>>720807215Not gonna mass respond to everyone but thanks for the tips anons. managed first try after that.
>>720806705Combat and movement in my opinion.
>>720808121I want more of the same because I like it. I enjoy playing Silksong, and I would like to play more Silksong. I don't see why this is such a difficult concept to grasp.
>>720809450because it was just dark souls story
>>720809431There was no flea juice in Hallownest, what the hell are you talking about
>>720809431Infection was specifically a biproduct of the Radiance. Can't be the same thing.
>>720807314No tools git gudOh god Pantheon of Pharloom would be a nightmare I'm not ready.
>>720809431it's just some tasty stew
>>720809306Silksong Godhome is going to be a bitch. We all know they're going to do a Godhome for it.
>>720807615this
>>720808432jesus dudeMap is your first clue. If there's an opening there's probably a way to get to itLight is your second clue. Light pours through cracks.The cracks themselves are your last clue. Walls, floors, and ceilings that have hidden entrances look a little different than others.
>>720809417>The age of silent protagonists is dead and gone.That's not inherently a good thing.
>>720804430>CrestReaper - It's the best crest for getting around and the free post-heal silk gets you far.>Red toolDidn't use them. Either you know how to beat a boss and don't need them or you don't and end up spamming all your tools before dying in phase 2 to some attack you don't know how to deal with and end up running out of shards.>Blue toolWarding Bell, saved me so many times.>Yellow toolCompass lol>Silk SkillDidn't use them, saved the silk for healing for the reaper free silk.
>>720800037Jannytranny can go kill xerxelf and so do you
>>720809417No, Hollow Knight's story is so much better presented to the player.The amount of times people have to ask about why Lace/Silk/the Weavers did whatever they did vs how nice and straightforward the Pale King and the Radiance's motivations are speaks to that.Also, fighting Lost Lace is just nowhere near as satisfying a narrative climax as fighting the Hollow Knight and the Radiance.
>>720809478>it was just dark souls storyNo, just the premise was dark souls. The whole story was so much more.
>>720810289same with dark souls, thanks vaati for helping me learn /v/ theories :)

what do i do in this room? i hear a weird grunting
>>720808989All flying enemies piss me off because they have that fly close enough to attack then stay out of reach pattern but these guys are especially bad.
>>720810036If people didn't have mossbag vids to orient HK they'd be just as lost. The story's got about the same level of presentation.Also you've got way more people asking about SS's story because there's more normalfags playing and normalfags are retarded.It's the same reason back when Demon Souls released, people mostly got the story just fun. But with ER you've got a thousand "lol where's my vaati lorevid bruh I can't follow this".
>>720810364music but you'll be disappointed
>made screenshot twice during cutscene>immediately fight LaceAAAAIIIIEEEE I don't even understand what's going on.
>Fixed Cogflies incorrectly resetting their HP to full on scene change.It's so fucking over.
maybe silksong is only harder because the iframe dash in HK was too strong
oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit I accidentally let out the beast in far fields and can't find him. how fucked am I?
>>720810559The I-frame dash instilled bad habits into gameplay and really fucked with the flow of combat
>>720810387To be fair ER's story and lore really was a lot more fragmented and shitty than DeS or any of the DS. Being pretty much a true open world didn't help much either.
>>720808989OH MY FUCKING GOD JUST FUCK OFF I JUST WANT TO GO FIGHT THE JUDGE YOU FUCKING CUNTS STOP FLYING IN MY WAY ALL THE FUCKING TIMEGOD FUCKING DAMN IT I'M MADFUCK YOU TEAN CUNTYFCK
>>720810627it's fine
>>720810686I disagree. Outside of a few side things the main story and background of ER was pretty easy to follow. Sure some details are murky but the overall thing is easy. People are just genuinely daft in my opinion.
>>720808989Funfact almost every FUCKING area in this game have ONE ANNOYINGLY DESIGNED flying enemy
>>720810716If you patched, it's 1 guy. If you didn't - it's 2. It's fine.
hot take: TC actually designed the game to be stratified. If you are an average player, you can get to the first ending by simply beating the obvious bosses and traversing the obvious areas needed for the story to keep going. Almost all areas and bosses people find frustrating are the optional ones to move to act 3. If you aren't a stubborn retard, you can "finish" the game without being that good
>>720810797Wait is that why the second fucker disappeared? The patch?
>>720810482I knew something was wrong when they kept killing silk kattle in bilewater
I disagree with Lace hitboxes.
>>720810797Well, goodThat runback is fucking cancerous enough with just one of these niggers showing up
>>720810938My counterpoints>Last Judge runback>High Halls
>>720811003Both are easy
>>720799981Is it a feature working as intended to lose your whole silk when you get damaged while healing?
>>720808989The bell niggers in the citadel made me hate these guys less in comparison. And the cancer with wings in the putrefied ducts did the same for the bell niggers.
>>720811040yes
>>720810938norrmie way to play metroidvania is too fill out the map, normal person wouldnt see act 3 bosses because it is hidden behind a not obvious breaking wall basically but bilewater would be a surface level stuff
>>720811003those are not really counterpoints. it's the final boss of act 1, it shouldn't be that easy. high halls is small as shit and mostly platforming
>>720810559It was and they clearly knew it by designing DLC enemies around it, like with NKG's flame trail.That said, the Silksong dash's wind up is 3000 years too long
>>720800586You can tell where he's going to charge because it always charges level with where you are when it winds up for it, and it does it at a pretty consistent rate. But yeah that fight takes some getting used to. Abuse Clawline whenever you can.
>>720808989I frankly find these to be one of the least annoying fliers. They don't do that infuriating back step like most others (or keep a tethered distance just slightly out of reach like some other cunts), and the cone projectile is hardly the bullet hell obstacle.
>>720811182It's not the area, but the trial in High Halls.
>>720808507Yep, and Hornet's smell really bad, so stop fantasizing about them.
why are people shilling those two so much?They're robo-faggots. Why couldn't they be prince+princess, team cherry?
>>720810938That's true to an extent. But it's less true than it was in HK. Getting an ending in HK is extremely easy. Getting an ending in Silksong is about on the level of getting dream no more in HK.
>>720804430WandererStraight PinPoisonDiceCross Stitch
>>720811284Its technically selfcest as the robots are modelled after the same one dude.
>>720811284it's a cool boss
>>720811284crickets are all gay men
>>720811284explain exactly your grivances without incel language
>>720810797They patched out the least offensive and most avoidable one on runbacks too, just a spit in the eye to people "heh, we listened to your complaints and made it easier lol"
>>720811284Seeing dancing and thinking homosexuality screams insecurity and projection.
>>720811326no
I don't understand Lace's charge attack for distances after 1st scream.
Dare I say it? Kino
>>720811417>organ music stops
>>720811417basic and easy, boring
>>720810993That runback was fine and didn't need nerfed.
>>720808024>Operatic music interrupted by monty python squelch
>>720811284>gay bugs
>>720811494ocarina of time did that 27 years ago
I'm at 99% completion and I'm missing a tool apparently. Halp.
>>720811417Everything in this fight is great. Presentation, music, HK Hornet moveset
>>720808818Indigestion.
Does Lace's counter attack becomes longer with each attempt? Why the fuck can't I dodge it with dash now?
>>720811284I hate faggotry but this one doesn't seem all that strong to me, still feels like it could've been a brotherly love angle, like maybe they were twins and they were just flamboyant. Then again I still haven't completed act 3 so maybe there's a more blatant reference I haven't found.
>>720811326The game very clearly tells you that they were gay prince lovers in Verdania
>>720811679Holy meds
>>720800037I want to know why discussing a video game on /v/ gets deleted all the time.
>>720810559Iframe dashing through attacks and thin enemies was more fun than:>move away from attack>sprint back in and smack enemy
>>720811659Remove heavy belt, equip fast sprint. It's one of those.
>>720811040yes, but what's actually bullshit is pressing a silk attack and getting stunned or knocked out of it still taking the silk before the attack frames start
>>720811708It wasn't
>>720811679Yes but that robot models were modelled after only one of them, they used his whole body for the robot. It just so happens to be that the princes looked really similar, Hornet even comments on it and thinks its weird.
>>720811701READ nigger READ
>>720811507Yeah it was pretty easy but it was meant to be an alternate final boss for act 1 so difficulty wise its meant to be like the Last Judge. Would be neat if they buffed each boss if you fight them later in Act 2 based on which route you chose to take to get to the citadel.
>>720811417>mist leading into phantomhttps://youtu.be/Q6is6K8jbho?si=VCGC4g1149reuIX9&t=2847It's more specific to the ost, but I love it.
>>720811565Nevermind I somehow missed flintslate, I got it
>>720811565flintlsate from behind simple key door in deep docks
>>720811789Hornet is homophobic.
>>720811789They're siblings not lovers you fucking dumb schizo
>>720811789they sound more like twin brothers than loversnot that loving somebody doesn't mean sexual love necessarily, it could be familial love
>>720811789>two bros rulling a nation with kindness and grace>:|>they also do ballet>GAY BOYS GAY BOYSThe moral of the story is male ballet will always be gay
>>720811793>You show up to fight Phantom later than usual>She's just dead and unraveled due to lack of silk
>>720811789If they're princes of the same place and look the same they're obviously brothers, not lovers.
>>720811892Same thing.Sweet home Alabama.
>>720811284Eh. There wasn't any gay ass "muh oppressed gays" fuckery so I didn't mind.In general gays in media are best when they're just put there without raising too much of a stink about it. Helps that since TC is so quiet they've not gotten into any online media shitflinging about it so they don't get sucked up into the political wars.
I really like the extra focus Silksong puts on the arts. It's cool theming
>>720811896I guess Hornet wouldn't understand sibling love, she tried to kill most of her brothers that she met.
>>720811660In act three you go through the memory of a gay bug who spends the entire time explaining his homosexuality with this other faggot.Trobbio is fun gay, these two are woe is me gay which is so much worse once you're dealing with the actual npc and not the robots.
>>720811789Hornet's diss there is also foreshadowing that she will fall in love with Lace who is her opposite
>>720811003>Last Judge runbackIt takes 30 seconds, MAX. I can't believe people bitch about it.
>>720811565What is that electric purple thing?
>>720812057zap tool, the only tool with 2 modes, get it in memorium(?)
>>720812057some kind of takoyaki
>>720811789>love is always romantic
>>720811094Fucking shit...>>720811742It's the main reason I swapped to the parry skill.
>>720812024Lace is for bullying and brat correction, not love.
>>720812024I think Hornet's opposite would be Sherma.
>>720812024Considering Hornet complains about no one matching her age and Lace being probably ageless like her they're a perfect pair.>Starts of as "I'm just with you because you need silk to live!">Slowly falls in love
>>720804430Hunter. It has no weaknesses, diagonal pogo is actually good, and it feels the most canon.Snare setter. Before that it was tacks.If I had to pick one, either warding bell or fractured mask. But I like the combo of injector and multibinder most.DiceThread storm. It's the only one I can remember to use.
>>720812119no, but these two are obviously lovers
>>720812175brothers, they're princes of the same kingdom
>>720812237lol, sure mate
>>720804430ArchitectCogflies (Poison, of course)LongclawMagnetite DiceCross Stitch
>>720811789people are coping, that is a weird thing to say about brothers
>>720812237Nah Hornet's comment makes it not seem like that. If they were brothers it wouldn't be odd to love someone that similar to you at all.
uhmmam I supposed to defeat shakra? Do I miss anything if I don't do it?like, how have I not seen anyone complain about this one yet? this is literally worse than beastfly 2 shit is so fast it's humanly impossible to even react to anything
>>720812175>fuck women>only share love and loyalty with the brosYou wouldn't get it
>>720812140>"I'm just with you because you need silk to live!"Other way around is hotter>Lace going "I'm just with you because I need silk to live, idiot!"
>>720812256Sure they're a bit fruity and they clearly treasure sibling bonds in their culture but canonically all signs point to brotherhood and dance partnership, that's about it.
>>720812140It is a pretty great set up for some yuri drama.
>>720812308Hornet killed at least one her brothers and tried to kill two others.
>>720812312If you stack a lot of passive stuff it is easy.Memory shardPoison toolsCogfliesTacks/spike trapsRest at spa for full silkOnly use silk for healing
>True ending>Lace laughs>Hornet stares back blankyI think she has the autism
>>720809689map doesn't show hidden pathslight rays are everywhere and don't indicate anythingcracked and broken tiles can just be a design choice and not interactable
>>720812406>If you stack a lot of passive stuff it is easybut... I want to actually beat the game... I'm not a shitter...
>>720811191>>720811708Use your harpoon jesus christ
>>720812406Dishonoraburu
>>720812312It's the most optional kind of optional. It doesn't count towards anything and is even missable.
>>720812134That's why they're the best ship.
>If you get caught by the fly jailer while cursed, instead of being taken to the Slab you wake up a second later surrounded by vines and the jailer strangled to death
>>720811789The replies remind me of people trying to argue Sheo and the Nailsmith aren't gay>Look, just because the Nailsmith is living with Sheo and just because the achievement for seeing them together is called Happy Couple does not mean they're a gay couple, Team Cherry would not put non-yuri gay romance in their games
>>720811892>Dual princes of old VerdaniaEither they're just brothers, or they're brothers AND lovers, but they can't not be brothers with that comment.
>>720812413>>Hornet stares back blankyHow else are you even meant to react in such a scenario?
>>720812453>>720812459Once they give hornet a teleport that she can use in battle it is a fair fight since that bitch can do it.Until then no tactic is dishonorable. Maybe she should buy some tacks.
>>720811708They made sharpdart just for you.
>>720812413Which one?
>>720812140>Being shipped mainly because of the technicality that everyone else will die of old ageI'm not the only one who finds this lame as fuck, am I? Their chemistry even in fanart is so generic.
>>720812584my brain autocorrected it as shartfart when I got it
>>720812628Based
>>720812628more like milk song
>>720812615Its not just that, mainly the silk dependency. I can't really see a way for them to not have to stick together without Lace dying. Its more of a enemies that don't get along into eventual friends cliche rather then just the age thing.
>>720812628AWOOGA
>>720812597Hornet is autistic. Lace is just a retarded child.
>>720812024Fall in love with that arse.
>>720811539mario first did platforming 45 years agotherefore silksong shouldn't have any platforming
>>720812615I'm not into it but shipping doesn't matter and I like seeing them in fan art anyway. I would like more art of Hornet cuddling Sherma though.
>>720812615Hornet has better chemistry with Shakra.Lace would probably work better with Ghost more than Hornet.
>>720812549there's a lore tablet that explicitly refers to them as "lovers." I don't know why it's so hard to accept they're gay lol
Why are they even called princes? There's no King or Queen so they'd have to be the King's right?
>>720812783Alright then they were gay incestuous lovers.
>>720812615>Their chemistry even in fanart is so generic.I think not many artists finished the game yet, there's tons of potential for their dynamic after the true ending.
>>720812703>mainly the silk dependency.Regardless of shipping I can at least admit that this is a neat concept.
>>720812829It's a principality, I guess.
VREN!
>>720812567>Once they give hornet a teleport that she can use in battleYou mean the clawline?
>>720808338The original hollowknight didn't do this either.Huge disappointment, honestly.
>>720812916No more like Marx's air dodge in Star Allies.
>>720812829The title "Prince" is also used for the ruler of a Principality.
>>720812916That isn't a teleport
>>720812743
HK3 will be Hornet gets kidnapped (again) and Lace needs to save her or she'll die
GARAMA!!!(means "come get some dumb bitch" in bug-tongue)
>>720812615From what I have seen so far in social media>their dynamic overall was completely different from what fanartists imagined based on the 2019 demo (duh), making hundreds of pieces of fanart age like milk>Lace is a child in everything except chronologically, which makes shipping her with Hornet it PrObLeMaTiC
>>720812521kino ngl
Fucking fleas could have given me the pale oil they were hoarding earlierIt might have fucking helped you pieces of shit
>>720812970HK3 will have Hollow as the protagonist after getting taken to the City of Steel.His skills and upgrades will be connected to a prosthetic arm he received to replace the one he lost while in the Black Egg.His adventure occurs at the same time as Silksong, which is why his Shade doesn't help Hornet.
lost lace is a nigger of a fightif you sprint away to heal she'll teleport infront of you and boom - 2 contact damage
>>720813095>making hundreds of pieces of fanart age like milkteam cherry, I kneel
>>720813238Once you learn to bait certain attacks she is easy tough. Hardest thing is to not get greedy and interrupt your rhythm.
>>720813217>His adventure occurs at the same time as Silksong, which is why his Shade doesn't help Hornet.

>>720813338You're a retard lmao
>>720813338Little Ghost is not the Hollow Knight you retard.
>>720813238heal mid air but not on her diagonal also time your heal with her throwing void traps, its free
>>720812970Both hornet and Zote were on that original kickstarter so the next protag is obvious.
Hollow Knight 3 will be about how Hornet got greedy and crushed some other kingdom underneath her giant pale ass
>>720805390The pogo can be charged???I thought its just a more unwieldy diagonal, but if you can charge it and stall in the air this changes everything
>>720813498But he died in Greenpath
>>720813498Zote really has such great potential. The realization that he is a complete fucking loser and has been all along, to then force himself to grow and eventually become the giga chad he always saw himself as. The story of the game shouldn't even be about him, he'd just be there basically as an NPC that follow around Hornet or whatever thinking he's tough when he's not. Only to actually become strong and save the day in the end
>>720813615Then at the end of the game you zoom out and see that its just the dream of his rotting corpse in greenpath
>>720812970Hornet getting kidnapped a second time would make her look incompetent
>>720813615>>720813606>>720813498>>720813338there won't be a hk3 in our lifetime, team cherrys next game has already been trademarked and is cslled fearless fox
>>720813608Yes >>720805819
>>720813498Zote's game will be a wario-like
>>720813738As if the bugfucker weren't bad enough, i really don't wanna have to deal with fullblown furries
Everything other then wanderer is so fucking slow though. How do you even deal damage or get silk back you do look one attack and the enemy has moved.
>>720805819>>720813608>>720813740my only problem with it is that uncharged is VERY short and fucks me up compared to Hunter
>Weh weh wanderer is cheap!Clearly you never seen architect gameplayhttps://files.catbox.moe/kt90r8.mp4
>>720813738Unless one of them dies an early death we should still get like 2 more games out of Team Cherry in our lifetimes.
So that's where the nigga went
>>720813860>No poisonYou didn't cheese the game enough
>>720813615Were it up to me, I'd have him on be a summoner character for all the other bugs who bought into his bullshit like Bretta. He could have a mount to get all the movement upgrades and he'd go through the game never getting any stronger himself, despite saving the day he'd learn absolutely nothing.

>>720812829Robin Hood was the prince of thieves but who was king?
Shakra's journey should end with becoming Hornet's slave.
>>720814443Just git good. I beat with just using the flea brew in about 4 tries. She telegraphs her attacks very blatantly, and has barely any moves that can hit you if you are pogoing her.
>>720814646I would play a bug dating sim as hornet
>>720805274It would've fit the vietnam areahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdbuJkJsXt0
>>720814646they make a better couple than lace and hornet. They share far more intimate moments, Shakra aids you in a gauntlet twice, and you find her master and mourn her together in the rain of a waterfall. Far more couple coded than the big and little sister coded of Hornet and Lace
>>720814578Architect is the journo difficulty option
>>720814743Pale King did nothing wrong

>>720814960Did you draw that anon? I like that fanart a lot
>>720814896So she telegraphs very blatantly, glad we agree
>>720814895So god damn adorable
>>720807314I kinda hope they just drop and rework the whole shard systemHere's my pseud game designer rework proposition:-Tools don't cost shards anymore, they are simply limited by uses. Base carrying capacity is nerfed.-The crafting kit upgrades now only increase tool damage, the tool pouches now increase tool usage instead of shard carry capacity. -Shards are not capped anymore, but you lose a portion of them permanently when you die (vs losing all beads but being able to recover them) kind of like Sekiros exp. This still makes shard bundles valuable as you can pop them before buying from a shop-To craft or buy any tool you'll need to spend a significant amount of shards (ranging from 100 to like 400). Shards are now clearly the "tool" currency while beads are for benches, stations or any other trinkets which also heavily alleviates the stingy bead economy
>>720815068Did you go through Lace 1 to Far Fields or straight to Shellwood via Wormways?
>yuritroons shiting up the thread again
>>720815159NTA, but Lace 1 to Far Fields to Greymoor is faster by far.You can farm a single spike source for the float quest by leaving and entering an area.
>>720815121>the tool pouches now increase tool usagedon't they already do that? I distinctly remember upgrades that made me able to hold more straight pins
>>720814858Get fucked

>>720813095>Lace is a child in everything except chronologically, which makes shipping her with Hornet it PrObLeMaTiCShe calls Hornet little spider and at various times during the game drops the child like behavior and gets serious, including in the last conversation before the plunge into the void lake.She might, in some fashion, be made to act like a child but she's clearly a being more ancient than any bug in Pharloom. I swear people on the internet just get more retarded as we go.
