nice fight but that was annoying
>>
>>721139781
Select few instances of Act 3 are kino. Karmelita, Seth, Flea Circus, Dancers 2, Trobio, are kino. But a lot of the level traversal gets tiresome because of the void entities. Coral Tower is offensively bad. Nyleth is annoying stalling until you get fed up and blast her ass with tools. And most importantly, YOU ARE ALREADY FATIGUED. Silksong is undoubtedly a fucking slog to get through, and Act 3 ratchets up the bullshit right when you're at your most sick of it.
>>
>>721139813
Don't forget the fact that the Pale King chose to be a manlet specifically so that he could bang women over twice his size.

Don't want to spoil anything but it kinda sucks that you need to reach act 3 to unlock that new "fast travel" ability
>>
>>721139701
Weavers can breed. Silk was capturing their daughters
>>
>>721139781
Act 3's kinda weird cause the way it starts I was thinking "holy shit all the enemies are tougher and have more health and void attacks now and I can't access my fast travel?" and I thought I was in for some serious grueling punishment but then turns out I was wrong cause only some enemies randomly get voided and the Ventrica station in the Memorium was still open.

>>721140032
Weaver kids are rare. Silk's totally incapable of having kids and because she uplifted them they got some of that downside but there's ways around it. Getting knocked up by another pale being obviously works but that can't be the only one.

Just started playing a couple days ago.
The diagonal down attack is giving me a lot of stress. Is swapping crests the only way to get a normal ass down attack? I managed to get the Wanderer's Crest but the shorter range is really not sitting right with me

please i just want a normal down attack, i just want hornet to attack downwards when i press the down and attack button at the same time
>>
I love Act 3. It's basically just the late game dream essence hunt of Hollow Knight but packaged way better and filled with tons more secrets.

And the best part is that it will only continue to get better with DLC because Team Cherry essentially brought back the Dream Nail. So they can go fucking ham adding shit.
>>
Is there anything cool on act 3 to explore? or should I stick to the main quest?
>>
im missing 1 flea and it does not show up on my map whatsoever i am on act 3 now any help? i have Vog and Kraft and the big flea but any Flea's you know that dont show up on the map after buying them from Vog?
>>
>>721140091
I don't remember the line but couldn't Hornet have been expressing her birth specifically? That creating such an entity as hers should have been impossible? Or perhaps her mother's specific pregnancy, like she was individually infertile (we know she wanted a kid but couldn't have one, and agreed to become a dreamer as in exchange for one)? I don't think Weavers necessarily need to be uniformly infertile based on that line alone.
>>
>>721140025
It's a nice convenience but totally unneeded. No matter where you go in this game you're almost never more than six or seven screens away from a fast travel.
>>
>>721140292
combat is fun, i dunno what to tell you. but yes, you're trolling if you think you're "sick of it" when you need to specifically go out of your way to even unlock it, something people who are "sick of it" would never ever do.

Coral Tower is EXTREMELY honest.
It follows the Colloseum of Fools style of gauntlet where they give you way weaker nothing waves as a break.

i bet a lot of the people struggling with the game are people using the alternative crests not realizing that all the platforming is designed and spaced around hunter's crest
you can do it with all of them since they are similar enough in terms of distance but it flows best with hunter's. same with combat too.

Weavers are an artificial race. They were created by Grand Mother Silk by uplifting arachnid beast bugs to sapience. This discovery, that Weavers aren't the sacred descendants of a pale being, was found by the First Sinner, and why that Weaver was imprisoned in the Slab until and after death.

The Weavers worshipped their creator, then were cannibalized by the very civilization they were a part of. That's why Weaver cages and seals that limit their power exist, the bugs of the Citadel coveted their silk and tortured them to death to try and implant it in others or create new sources of silk. That's why Widow, a surviving Weaver, had pins planted deep in her spine to restrict her silk generation.

At some point Grand Mother Silk was lulled to sleep, likely by the Citadel so they could claim and reuse her silk. The Citadel sent a platoon out to Hallownest to capture Hornet, whose infamy had spread to beyond Hallownest, as Hornet was a living half-Weaver and thus a pure source of silk. Silk wound up creating Lace and Phantom as her surrogate children because the Weavers were all gone, as "purer" children than the spiders. Her rage in trying to wake up imparted her will to her silk, causing the Haunting, turning countless bugs throughout Pharloom into puppet zombies, and resurrecting the dead too.

Lace despised her own existence, seeing herself as an abomination, and wanted to rebel against her mother by sending the Void threads up to destroy Pharloom, bringing everyone and everything down in her own misery. Hornet fights against Lace not to slay Silk, but to oppose Lace's nihilism. Hornet is anything but nihilistic.

>all this whining about combat difficulty
Difficulty is fine. Combat is often easy and at worst learnable, and you can abuse a VERY strong hover-heal mechanic to have, effectively, dozens of masks each battle. Platforming is SUPER easy late game thanks to double jump and hover, and honestly only somewhat hard very early before you're used to, or can switch from, diagonal pogo.

Some real problems:
>Fetch/grind quests like a 2000s MMORPG. Some of which don't even have 100% drop rates.
>Self-heal too strong. Devs just doubled enemy damage to compensate instead of making them more aggressive with better attack patterns.
>Red tools are mostly overpowered, a few are comically so. Devs just inflated enemy HP and spammed adds/pre-boss mob gauntlets to compensate, probably because they thought these tools were cool and wanted to differentiate from HK's charm system.
>Blue/yellow tools suck. Most are garbage. The good ones are boring. Way less flexible than charms system.
>Crest balance needs work.
>Some bosses are great. Some are boring with just 2-3 attacks plus a "I'm faster now!" phase 2.
>The final boss is a boss that by that point you've already fought twice. She has three phases, all identical except for the appearance of terrain hazards and lame projectiles.
>Location coherency is way worse than HK. Why is the "windy" biome INSIDE and beneath a once TROPICAL ocean inlet, which is beneath a FROZEN mountain, which is somehow not just underground but beneath an unfrozen surface? Some places, like the Wisp Forest, are just randomly placed filler.
>Location design is also way worse. Abyss shows up again, but while HK's is Lovecraftian and unsettling with an eerie lighthouse and bleeding-eye statues, SS's is just a cave. City of Tears' atmosphere and music mogs Choral Halls'. The "swamp" biome is used like five times.
>Story is a rehash "WORSHIP ME" story with less interesting characters. NPCs design is worse.
>Hornet is a BIG Mary Sue.

>and wanted to rebel against her mother by sending the Void threads up to destroy Pharloom
I was with you until this point. Lace definitely didn't think this far ahead. Her whole hatred of Silk revolves around her misunderstanding how much her creator cares for her. She wouldn't have planned for Silk to try to save her life and inadvertently destroy Pharloom with voided silk strands.

Played for about 5 hours now. So far the game is pretty fun but I gotta admit that I prefer the charm system over this tool system.
Also, the starter crest is way too awkward to use for something you're supposed to start with.

100% will be nominated for the category and multiple other categories, but I doubt it will win goty. It's only real competition in that regard is Expedition 33. While I played both and prefer Silksong, it's not exactly the type of game they're looking for. It gets mogged in terms of accessibility by E33. It's only really advantages in accessibility are that it's $30 cheaper, and the fact that shitbox PCs can run Silksong due to it being far less demanding than E33. Not to mention Silksong is a 2D game, which is a massive turnoff for a surprisingly large amount of people.

There's already like only 5-6 truly practical charms in HK. Silksong's system is way more healthy in that regard that it doesn't force you to think "which useless charms should I equip so it doesn't feel like im wasting slots". Having 2 types of charms divided into "exploration/movement" and "combat" categories also helps to make a decision of "what is the optimal build for me right now i wonder"

While I think it will be my GOTY, I don't think it will win The Game Award's. I will even go as far as to say that it may not even be nominated. TGA usually has 6 nominations for GOTY. Here's how I see them panning out:
1. E33 (the frontrunner)
2. Ass Creed (Ubisoft)
3. Yotei/Death Stranding 2 (Sony)
4. DK/Mario Kart (Nintendo)
5. MH Wilds (Capcom)
TGA is a marketing event. If a big publisher releases something in the year and it's not an abysmal failure, it's going to get nominated. The 6th spot could (and should) go to Silksong, but E33 is already there as the "indie representative" and there are other big games that could be nominated: MGS, Oblivion, KCD2, Battlefield 6, both Yotei and DS2, and so on.
Remember, Team Cherry snubbed journalists by not giving them early access copies, forcing them to work extra on release week to write their reviews. Journalists are the ones who decide GOTY.

It's a fun game, but it definitely has some hardcore shills touting it as the "game of the decade". You have people who try to say that it revolutionized/revived the entire RPG genre, but it doesn't really do anything special or unique in terms of it's gameplay that dozens of other good games haven't done before in the past. It's real power is in it's story and music, which are probably the reasons it will win GOTY.

Probably not. It will be nominated for multiple other categories and possibly win some of those, but Expedition 33 didn't make journalists seethe by having no early access and is the exact type of movie-like game that the game awards people are looking for. Even if Expedition didn't win it would probably be Death Stranding 2 since the game awards is a mandatory Kojumbo jerk-off session.

Feels like a real miss.
When I got the "go collect three things" quest in the original HK, I opened up my map and said "holy shit, those objectives are so far away!". When I got the melodies quest in SS, I said "oh wow, they're all nearby!".
Literally all they had to do was put the puzzle melody on the top of the mountain and one of them in Bilewater. Feels like the whole flow of the game got fucked the way they did it.
I know I'm griping about something minor that I had total control over but the fact that I'm in this situation at all feels odd.

>>
>>721142845
Hollow Knight was designed in a way that you had three distant main objectives and you slowly worked towards them as you explored. Silksong is designed in a way that you can go in any direction and find a new path to explore, which MAY lead to a main objective, or just be a side area instead. But it's all interesting and worth it to explore. Just kind of mind-numbing to actually perfect and complete.

One with two spell slots, 1 red, and a normal distribution of blues and yellows. Gimmick is generating a little bit of extra silk on hit (fills partial slots like the druid's tear). Available early act 2. Basically, I want a spell focused one that you can get and use before act 3. Have no idea what the moveset should be.

Spell twister. A machine gun that doesn't eat rosaries. One that lets you aim the clawline at an angle, up or down.
>what new boss rematch do you want
Silken Phantom.
>what new "QoL" NPC do you want
A guy who will give you hints on tools, mask shards, memory lockets, etc. that you haven't found yet.
Not an NPC but a QoL thing; when you select the grand bellway station there should be an option to also select a ventrica stop and go straight there. And the other way around; when selecting the grand bellway ventrica you should be able to then select a bellway station.

sorry but i'll have to diagnose you with silk issue then.

the juggle became way easier for me when i learned that the way i hit the fleas matters and determines which direction they bounce off to. at first i was dashing back and forth between like 4 fleas like a retard and it was super hard, but then i learned i could essentially force them all to bounce to the same side, so it became super easy and just a matter of dealing with the special ones.

>>721142897
Silk is thread spun from soul. By spinning silk into objects, infused with their essence, they become tangible and real, so long as the thread lasts.
Hornet dove into her own memories of growing up in Hallownest to find a point when she played with the delicate Everbloom flowers and thus spin one from her memory using her silk.

This is also how Lace exists. She is life spun into silk, in the shape of a bug. She's not a bug.

>>721143240
I didn't expect to see the Pale King at all. Maybe it was just my desire to see Hornet's backstory, but I started grinning the second I saw child Hornet, and began tearing up when I realized I was climbing Deepnest. I dunno, call me a faggot if you want, you wouldn't be wrong. I just really really cherish my first experience seeing the Red Memory.

Besides, Hornet despises the Pale King. It'd make sense that she represses the memory of him. Though that does pose the question as to why she was relatively cordial with the White Lady.

How to fix crests:
>Hunter
Focus buff is gradual instead of needing to max the bar to activate it.
>Wanderer
No crits
>Reaper
Bosses need 1 less hit to stagger
>Beast
Blue slot replaces the silk skill slot, bind + up gives you a super-slow ground heal that is basically impossible to use mid-combat but can be used for platforming sections.
>Witch
Extra yellow, bind damage scales with volt filament.
>Shaman
locked behind double jump, 2 extra yellow slots, bind + up works like the dreamnail and generates lots of silk but in a circle AoE(can be done in mid-air)
>Architect
30% cheaper tools, tools deal 20% less damage

I'm currently wrapping up my HK playthrough. I just need to do the Godhome stuff.

You can definitely feel how less agile the knight is. The dash just doesn't feel anywhere near as good as Hornet's sprint. The double jump also feels WAY too floaty. Also, not having Wall Cling is an absolute fucking BALL BUSTER in the Path of Pain, and can be really annoying in other areas. Honestly, I'd go as far as calling Wall Cling an essential tool in Silksong.

Hornet was raised by three mothers: Herrah, who gave birth to her and raised her as a Weaver. Vespa, who trained her as a warrior and gave her the name Hornet, and the White Lady, who raised her as a dear daughter and with the grace and honor as a royal princess. All three imparted to Hornet the same wish, that she be able to choose her own fate in the end.

They're what made Hornet into the person she is today.

It feels like every last thing in this game has a catch or a got ya or something to account for like I'm playing a romhack. Maybe it's because I did Bilewater and Wisp Thicket back to back and these areas are just annoying. I haven't actually died that many times and beat both bosses in 2 attempts and found the infamous Bilewater boss easy actually but I haven't had any fun at all.
Projectile? It tracks and or explodes or comes out in groups of three.
Flying enemy? It dodges backwards when you jump up at it.
Drop down? Spikes on the floor.
Climb up? Rock falls from above.
Straight hallway? Traps or an enemy comes out of the floor or ceiling.
Ground enemies? They explode or teleport or go off screen.
Pogo section? Something will be spamming projectiles at you. Kill the enemies that shoot you? They just respawn. Also the enemies fly, shoot projectiles that explode, and explode on death.
Navigating these areas is just exhausting.

Soul Master is easier than Last Judge. But yes, the runback is on him is worse.

Eunuch reference bug.
>>
>>721144717
It's because last judge is harder. Especially the two mask damage. Even when you lose against soul master, it takes a while to actually die, so you feel like you spent more time fighting him than getting to him. But last judge can delete you pretty quickly making it feel like you're spending more time on the runback than the boss.
>>
People bitching about runbacks are pussies. Except Groal, they're completely right about that one.
>>
>>721144884
if you died to either of them you suck.
>>
>>721144884
I might be the only person who likes it more more than the original.
Also funfact the Cogwork Dancers don't share health so the proper strat for that fight IS to just focus one.
>>
>>721144740
It's the sudden backdash they do half the time that's annoying. But using your logic why do they even approach at all? Let's just make them all Injustice Deadshot tier zoners. I'm starting to understand the thing about gamers making bad game devs.

i felt like last judge's runback sucked before i even had to do it. after the third time i lost to him i was like "wait this really isn't that bad". groal's runback can eat shit though, ruined a pretty good boss with a shitty gauntlet and non trivial platforming and shit water.

Because most are melee, and even the ranged one needs to get close to aim at you.
The only flying enemy that truly "zones" that I've seen are the bell chuckers in the cathedral.

PK definitely interacted with Hornet and was at least a factor in her upbringing

I liked his first phase—a good honest duel. Comboing his attacks in the 2nd phase was neat, but he didn't always complete his combos, so I never knew when I was supposed to counter attack. So it was a lot of dodging until he did his 3xbong slam to punish the lunge with 1 hit (if he did the lunge) and then back to dodging. I also didn't like that his callouts were random.

I know this gonna sound like "new thing bad, old thing good", but the Needolin and the Silk Soar are deeply inferior to the Dream Nail and the Crystal Dash.
They are useless in combat and only unlock a tiny amount of things (even tho Silksong is bigger).
They should have worked better on the combat use of the Needolin and added more melodies with different effects.
>>
>>721145058
Here's my honest thought, any character that can go out the screen while simultaneously still attacking you is shit.

only small spiders and some fliers methinks. Rest needs a bench rest.

no just use the double damage mod so these guy take 2 to 3 hits instead.
it's literally the way the game is meant to be played.
the pacing is perfect you wont even miss out on boss phases or anything. it's how the game was always meant to be balanced. everything in the base release is just way too slow and repetitive.

A silk eater? I just started the game. I killed a big red ant with a massive maze, took me forever to realize there was a bench a room under. And now there is another room that spams red ants where the lady that sells maps helps you to fight them.
I have to go through three rooms every time I die in that bullshit fight.
This game is garbage

In theory, really good. Thing is, it uses Silk by itself and that's bad.
