A cute Lace to brighten your day.
>>721152663Make a general already, faggot.
Lace is dogshit.All her fans are fucking retards.There is no appeal to Lace.I want to put Hornet in my urethra.
>>721152729>actual gameplay discussion is still the majority of threadsfortunately, these threads are not general quality.
>>7211527702/10 ragebait
>>721152770lace has a fat fucking ass, and being made of silk it can get even fatter pretty easily.
>>721152817Which means she might not fit in my dick hole.She also isn't cute at all, and she's rude.
this is the shitties boss fight ever
>>721152770Based, lacetrannies in shambles.
I did not care for Shakra.
>>721152729>>721152770>>721152857>>721152871Keep seething and bumping the threads, discordfags. Maybe you'll get that janitor application one day.
>>721152870In what sense? I'd agree it was too easy, and Silksong could have used more weird bosses like Brooding Mawlek (of course that's the only example HK has) instead of just soulsmans. Not that those aren't fun.
If the DLCs are about rebuilding Pharloom would be funny if at the end Hornet starts being worshiped as the new Godess for the pilgrims while she doest want the title or attention
Today I will look for a bench in the Sands of Karak...
>>721152870I thought it was cool, harder bellbeast, except the actual bellbeast comes to help you.
>>721152729This isn't a generalWe're talking about a video game
>>721152979>DLC ending is just the weaver queen ending because of attunement shenanigans
>>721152984I hope you've already walked past it a bunch of times.
>>721152942I cared more about fucking Loyal Mergwin than either Lace, Shakra, or Sherma.
>>721152979DLC sherma and hornet marriage and sex
>>721152948>ERRYBODY WHO HATES MY SELF-INSERT IS A HECKIN RAIDERwhy are lacetroons so mentally unwell?
Bro grew bones only to get broken
>>721152979There's 0 chance the dlc will be another entire map redesign. It will either be something entirely different, taking place in act 2 and 3, or a small new map as a sequel of the act 3 ending.
>>721152942I care more about Second Sentinel than Shakra
>>721153069It's normal to not care about Lace since she's a non-character anyway.
>>721152979
Cutie.
>>721153112it doesnt have to be a redesign, it just has to get rid of the crying mother.
>>721153112I mean you just have to revert the map to act 2 and make changes to the maggot infested areas
Not gonna lie, when I saw the rings I expected the harpoon skill to work like the loops in Rayman. I was very disappointed when it didn't.
>>721152870Only people who spam cogflies think this and broodmother are shit.
>>721153171>a "character" only liked because of her design
>>721153069Based Mergwinbro.
I want lace to step on my penis
Nerf Lost Lace
Coral tower may be the worst part of the game.
>>721153247>a "person" who seethes unprompted every time that character is mentioned.
>>721152942But Hornet did, she's her friend :)>>721153227That would make no sense and it would feel lazy. You would have to pass a long time story wise for such changes to be possible, which would in turn make most of the world being the same make no sense, so unless you want the dlc to be in the oven for 7 more years, I'd keep my expectations in check.
Girl Boss
>>721153281She's bug sized and made of silk, no weight, you would barely feel it.
>>721152663Hornet is a fuckign slut. This kill any interest I had on the lore of this game. Fuck this shit.
>>721152770>I want to put Hornet in my urethraaverage lace hater

>>721153058Say it ain't so brother, sir
>>721153467Yeah, Team Cherry does need to git gud at game design.
>>721153342A shitty non-character at that.
>>721153549They did, now it's up to you to learn not to be dogshit at gaming.

>>721153583>people unironically coordinating shitposting>in a fucking discord serverjfc
>>721153583LAGPtroon is seething.
>>721152979Rebuilding would be cool. I think a great ending would be for Hornet to almost try and release her inner Wrym with control and precision unlike the weaver ending. Which obviously would result with a kino memory Pale King fight.
Realistically, how would you rebalance Architect Crest without completely gutting its "tool specialist" gimmick?>Reduce the bind to a 30-50% refill?>Keep the bind but halve its max tool capacity as a tradeoff?>Replace the bind by some passive like reduced shard cost?>Don't touch the crest and gut the Polyp Pouch instead?
>>721153402Well actually...If we accept that the Hollow Knight world has Earthlike Gravity then Hornet would be like 3ft tall and not bug size.The reason for this is fluid dynamics. Water, air and fire act like how they would if the characters were human sized. If they were bug sized then water, wind and fire would be radically different. They would be able to do stuff like hold droplets of water since it would act more like a sludge. The heat of even a small fire would be so intense the there wouldn't even need to ignition before the heat would scorch them. Wind would be so strong even a small breeze would send them kilometres across an area.
>>721153626They saw all the Hornet x Ghost porn and assumed people wanted Hornet to be with younger and/or smaller characters.
>>721152770Holy based
>>721153583The mindset involved in this is baffling
>>721153739The bind does not resupply, or if anything only ressuplies from 0 tools left to 1.The bind instead gives you a temporary big damage boost to the tools. You might even make it so that whilst binded tools cost nothing.This way rather then starting fights with an instant tool spam win you'd at least need to frequently recharge your silk through normal attacks
>>721152770Seriously, why's Lace such a shitty non-character?
>>721153397I look like this and say this
>>721153739I wouldn't, balancing shit is a fool's errand. Leave shit as it is, maybe buff reaper.
>>721153309I did it as the last thing before finishing the game with all the needle upgrades and it wasn’t so bad when the mobs go down much faster.
>>721152729Silksong is a cultural phenomenon.
>>721153697>>721153828oh it gets worse, they had guidelines>>721153724cp spam failed again?
>>721153828There's nothing that pisses brown schizos off more than seeing people genuinely having fun talking about a game, never forget that.
>forced to listen to the sound of annoying heartbeat in my own homethis is the worse
>>721128930>gets hit multiple times>gets hit when there's only one fat nigga left>still insists this is a good strategyI don't get some people.
>>721153931>MANUELIT0so ita just a bunch of retarded kids...
>>721154079Put a nice melody, so it blends with it in the background.
I would like some lewd of Pavo please
This is pretty much essential, right?
>>721154286dunno, it was bugged for most of my playthrough
>>721153397How is this girlboss? This is literally just the eroge trope of a female's reaction to ugly bastards.
>>721153739Remove the normal bind completely.
>>721154330I don't care about the money, I'm talking about the increased harpoon damage. You should be constantly using the claw to get in range of enemies, so this should be one of the best charms.
>>721152770trvthnvke
>>721153459I'm an EXCEPTIONAL lace hater, bucko
>>721154401Dunno, It was Bugged for most of my Playthrough
>>721154440The damage was never bugged.
>>721153583>>721153931Makes sense that it's discord troons that pull this shit.
>>721154484Why Would I Use Something That Doesn't Work As Intended?
AYDA
>>721154395This would just force all Architect Crest users to turn into plasmium junkies, that, or discouraging them even more from traditional melee gameplay to minimize the risk of damage.I literally have a hard time imagining a worse balancing choice than this.
>>721154573I don't like how she still yells it even when the beast is right there waiting
>>721154535Retard.
>>721154110>>721154492
>>721154286Only if you really like to spam Clawline in combat.All it does is give it an extra hit, so if your normal Clawline hits twice it will deal an extra third hit now for a 33% damage increase. That's not that great for a Blue Tool, it's too situational unless you are relying on Clawline to be your primary damage tool.
Shakra ring's taunt doesn't cost silk.
>>721154656What? She doesn't. She only yells when it's there if it's sleeping.
>>721154692Dealing 3 hits instead of 2 hits is a 50% damage increase anon.I agree though, it's not that great compared to the other options. Even if you are spamming Harpoon all the fucking time I'd rather use Weavelight for the faster Silk recovery.
>>721154759>it's sleepingI didn't think of it that way I thought he was just lazily lying there lol
>Halt, little ghost! It is time for our rematch. I have acquired many tools and silk skills, and I will not hold b-- ACK!
>>721154673But It Doesn't Work, Would Not Taking It "Retard" Myself?
>>721154692What other blue tools would you use for an offensive play style with hunter? I like that one because it reinforces something that you should already be doing.
>>721154790Now that i think about it, she does know about knight being in godhome and why the infection ended because she gets summoned there to fight knight.
>>721154820Why are you typing like a homestuck character?
Just finished Lost Verdania, but I still don't really get Green Prince's story. Twins turned lovers turned princes of this small kingdom that was ultimately destroyed by GMS? Then why was he spared and chilling in a cage? And why did his lover volunteer to be made a robot? Ugh, I don't get any of this!
>>721153727>hornet unlocks the unused Pale King crest by coming to terms with the fact that she's more like her dad than she'd like to admit, and that's okay
>>721154863I wasn't going to ask because I'm sure he's doing it for attention.
>>721154924>Why have you dived so deep into your memory for this crumbling nation?>Because there is no cost too greatIts going to be kino just you wait
im starting a second playthrough, to try and knock out the steel soul and speedrun cheevos in one god. wish me luck
>>721154790Hornet is alway holding back, she's literally laughing during their fights, otherwise she would heal.
>>721154914Gay. Underwater. Robot. Crabs. From. Hyper. Industrial. Wasteworks. Powered. By. Silk. Bordering. A. Submerged. CORAL FUCKING REEF.
>>721154924Pale King is a Chad so that's great
>>721154914they are not twins just born at the same time and REALLY similar, real question is why hornet went into his memory and murdered him
>>721154986If you save-quit you have to instantly kill yourself. It is a matter of honour.
>>721155000>Hornet is always holding back
>>721155056No homo on her watch
>>721154863I was talking Slow because I felt like I was talking to an idiot that couldn't understand basic concepts like "Why Would You Use Something That Doesn't Work?"What is homestuck?
>>721154839NTA but Weavelight and the Flea Charm is really fun with the Parry Silk Skill. If you are at full health it gets you from 0 Silk to enough for a Silk Skill every 4s or so which pairs nicely with the avoid damage at all cost part of Hunter and lets you stay in your 3rd damage tier far more easily
>>721155083ill save quit as much as i want and im going to spam poison tacks and cogflies the whole time :)
>>721155056It's just the Souls trope where the NPC dies at the end of their quest. I really hate this trope btw.
>>721153397Everything is a girl boss in this game. Your rival, the map vendor, even your mount.It's girl bosses all the way down.
>>721154924Hornet barely knows the pale king, she feels no attachment to him, but she clearly thinks him and his kingdom were bad.
>>721155159>she clearly thinks him and his kingdom were badsource?
Is possible for any of the masked characters (such as Hornet) to take off their masks? Or are they like fused to them??
>>721155152Statistically female mcs are more successfull.In a recent poll anime fans prefer female mcs. Women are selfish and want female mcs because they want a relatable protagonist. Men are okay with female mcs and would prefer it if they were cute.
>>721155056Contrary to proper belief, gays give Hornet the ick.
>>721155159She's influenced by him more than she realizes. Silksong's ending #1 is Hornet dominating over GMS and Pharloom because of her inner Wyrm impulse to subjugate/dominate civilizations.
>>721155056Because he's a ruler with a heart, he also kinda wanted to die. Hornet did show respect to him.>>721155084Hornet is shown to not be honest and act like a tsun multiple times in these games.
>>721155152>Hornet gets jailed, stripped, and creampied by the scummiest of scum that can exist in the bug world>Lace and GMS get completely BLACKED and mindbroken by it>Shakra stands firm protecting all the male cock she needs to breed a successor after realizing her mother is dead>Bell Beast already submitted to cock and is raising her kids, something modern women fail to achieveAnyone else who's a "girlboss"?
>>721154914They were common born twins that were extremely good hunters/warriors that eventually became Verdania's rulers because of their strength and grace. Also they were engaging in ye old homosex incest.We don't know exactly why the Green Prince wasn't there when GMS decided to subdue Verdania, but his twin lover bent the knee and when he eventually went to the Citadel was fucked around with by the Architects and made into the Clogwork Dancers. Green Prince regrets not being there when it all went down thinking he could have stopped it or even if he couldn't have changed the outcome at least "died" together with his lover.
>>721155242Masks don't grow in size, Hornet had to have replaced her mask at least onceAnd you can knock off the masks that the Mask Makers wear to talk with their true selvesThe Simp has a collection of Masks he swaps between depending on which role he's playing for his Simp victim
>>721152663I played Steel Soul and all I got was the least-interesting boss fight in the game... and a coat of fucking paint>>721152954are you even replaying HK if Brooding Mawlek isn't your first boss?>>721153397while we're posting this sort of thing why have I not seen anyone else mention the 2 lore tablets near the end of Bilewater that had me audibly OY VEY
>>721152870you ain't seen nothing yet
>His bullies get beat up by some girl>Devotes his entire body and soul to worshipping her right afterI think he's literally me
>>721152663This game becomes significantly worse when going for 100%. The amount of content hidden behind random fake walls/ceilings that are completely innocuous is retarded. Why would you design a game like that? And beyond that it's just unfocused. I wouldn't call it bloated exactly, it just doesn't really know what to do with all its content, so things end up feeling messy, not as emphasized as they should, not fleshed out enough.The game will be peak once it gets a boss rush DLC like godmaster though.
>>721155304>Hornet is shown to not be honestHornet is never ever shown to be dishonest.
>>721155242Only some. Many bugs sentient or not are born with a mask as a face or head. Hornet comments that one of the beasts are cute and fluffy but has a creepy looking mask.For Hornet and the Knight it's their actual heads. We see a flashback of baby Hornet with it and for knight we see from his remains that its a skull and the only way to remove it is crack it open
>>721155142
>>721155215Journal entries, the one from the underwork enemies and the red memory one.>>721155280Yes, but that's her weaver side talking, and even then, that's not what Hornet truly wants.
>>721155364What was written on them?
>>721155152To be fair, this is a game about bugs. Sexual dimorphism is very different in bugs than it is humans. In many cases, female bugs actually are more competent than male bugs.
>used wanderer since I found it for the quick slashI'm closing out act 3 and I think I'll have to use something else for a second playthroughWhat's this people say about hunter crest having combos or something? Wanderer you can dash attack then land 2 more hits in the air, what can you do with hunter?
Hunter's March Act 3 spoilersWas Gilly fake all along? Once you beat Karmelita she posts a quest, saying someone robbed her, then you go follow the trail and it's some Predator shit with constant traps, and then a big guy almost fucking kills you, and his lair has taxidermied people with an empty space left for Hornet, then finally you find a wooden doll that looks just like Ginny. So is that it? He was using that doll to trick Hornet?
If you died to Groal more than once you're really really bad at platforming. That is all.He has the easiest ads in the game in that he isn't even on-screen when they're summoned and you don't have to kill them.
>>721155338>>721155152You're both brown and gay.
>>721153828It's just a culture warrior mentalityNever forget that a huge demographic of current 4chan users learned about this site via /pol/It was the first and in most cases only board they lurked and where they were taught to obsess over the narratives and optics of a thread and that every post must have an agenda behind it.
>>721155462I like to think Hornet saying all her mates die and keep up with her lifespan is her just eating them after sex because lol Spider wife what did you expect lmao.
>>721155251What poll?
>>721154683smaller
>>721155390>NPC craves a boss rush DLC You are part of the problem nigga. Stick to fighting games. Metroidvanias are about the joy of exploration, not jumping on a bug's head until it explodes.
>>721155390and also once a path of pain equivalent is added, the closest thing you get is I guess the path to the surface, which I loved but it was very short.
>>721155490I didn't make that connection at all, I thought it was just this guy specifically going after Gilly since he knew Hornet would try to help her
>>721155363>>721155420Two completely different answers
>>721155490You can encounter Gilly after that fight, so noThe Hunter was just observant and used traps to trick you
>>721155490Do you have a picture of the doll?
>>721155251>Statistically female mcs are more successfull.Maybe in tranime, not in videogames.
>>721155417She literally implies she doesn't care about the bugs and is only helping them for benefits, which is obviously not true.Whatever, I'm not latinx enough to care about this protagonist powerlevel faggotry anyways. Ghost and Hornet have no reason to fight.
>>721155251>Statistically female mcs are more successfull.Show the source of your statistics, other than your own imagination.
>>721155464I replayed with just hunter and frankly it's really good. a little too good... use literally anything else to add some difficulty back now that they've nerfed like a third of the things that deal 2 hearts
>>721155531It was some Netflix poll I think. It was pretty easily answerable and provable based on /a/'s preference
>>721155251I like female MC because i want to suck their tits
>>721154573I alwaysh eard it as>EYRA
>>721155490This boss can happen before you beat carmelita if you meet him earlier, so no. Gillie will still show up to talk to you after you beat carmelita, too.
>>721155601>which is obviously not true.It seems pretty true most of the game, she does not go out of her way to help anyone (except maybe Sherma?) unless there's a reward at the end of it. Hornet only changes her tune in act 3 because she believes the calamity is partly her fault and because she feels like it is her duty to deal with the void due to the events of the first game.
>>721155637Same
>>721155642same
>>721155159>Pale king is the only bug we know of in Hallownest with a knack for engineering>Hornet has a comparable tinkerer powerlevel to the Forge Daughter and Architect >any hypothetical alternate mentors for this skill are unlikely to be present in Deepnest and the Hive, the only two places Hornet would have spent significant time in besides the palace is the Hive thing even canon or just datamined scrapped dialogue, I can't rememberThe idea that PK spent virtually zero time with loliHornet is stupid, she clearly at least held a torch while he popped a Kingsmould's hood to look inside. Plus she's extremely knowledgeable on both Hallownest and PK personally, I doubt he was the type to overshare with Herrah while prostituting himself to her.
>>721155651>Gillie will still show up to talk to you after you beat carmelita, too.Where does she show up? She didn't for me. Should I go back to the statue?
>>721155536You're such a retard, you can't even come up with a good comeback. You could have said Super Mario Bros. >PaddingslopYeah, you know metroidvanias are all about hitting each pixel in a map like a Soulsborne title, and not actually exploring.
>>721155691A flashback is shown of Hornet in the hive if you max out your Nail
>>721155691>the HiveAct 3 spoilers You literally see Hornet chilling in the Hive getting Needle training from a bee - probably Vespa
>>721155523That would make no sense given the context and Hornet's personality, she's clearly aware that's a thing though given how she immediately understands huntress' fear of being eaten.
>>721155642I was hearing it as EVA!and then we met someone actually named Eva so I guess not
>>721155152Ah yes, a game with a female MC has more female characters than usual. I wonder what's up with that?It's not that deep bro, they just wanted to explore Hornet's femininity.
Does anyone remember where to find that place where 2 roachdogs were "worshipping" some big bug thing that wants to serve you after you kill them? Was it Sinner's or Bilewater?
>>721155691When you do the Snail Memory Dive to get the Everbloom you get to see a whole section where Hornet is being trained by Vespa in the Hive.>>721155754Wait that's locked behind having the maxed out Needle? I didn't know that, explains why so many people seem to be missing it...
The regular enemies and the platforming was much better than HK and they were far more integrated. On the other hand, I'm not sure exactly what it is, but from a visual perspective I much preferred the design of the original's levels and how the world fit together.
my 100% save file with 4 mementos missing
>>721155631f/a/ggots are just allergic to male MCs.
>>721155826Sinners road to the right and down
>>721155826Bottom right of Sinner's RoadAnd the roaches were trying to eat him
>>721155578The full truth is that we don't really understand anything, we can just make assumptions from conjectureWe know>Mask Makers exist>They make Masks to define a bug>The Mask Makers masks can be removed>They have different personalities afterwards and complain about it>The Mask Maker in Pharloom comments on the fine make of Hornets Mask>In act 3 we see a flash back of baby Hornet with a much smaller mask>Conjecture is that a Mask, being a thing made by another, cannot physically grow larger and so must be replaced
>>721155435>Journal entries, the one from the underwork enemies and the red memory one.What do they say?
>>721155860I got all the Mementos but I didn't realize I was missing 1 (-one-) Memory Locket until yesterday and I'm in no mood to go back and crawl through the entire fucking game checking all the spots with a map to find out which one I am missing...
>>721155829regular enemies are too fat and evasive, I was running past most things in citadel
>>721155674Act 3 only happens if Hornet shows she cares about people, the game spells this out for you.
This boss had way too much HP, thought he'd never die. And I'm running wanderer lmao. Still first try though
>>721155829The first game's world functioned much better as a believable bug kingdom with logical infrastructure and layouts, and that made it feel very immersive. In terms of Metroidvania gameplay Silksong's world is much more engaging and interesting to traverse/fight but it feels more 'gamey' and less believable.
>>721155826Sinner's Road. Go to the top of the second area, then all the way right and then bottom right
Why is it raining in greymoor?
>>721155390There's too many side quests for sure and a lot of these quests could be cut without losing anything.The amount of false/breakable walls and ceilings is egregious.I think the lowest point of the game for me was around the end of act 2 cleaning up all the remaining quests and collectables. The chef and the final quest for the act were the worst.>go to NPC>get told where thing is >backtrack to places you've been how many times>find thing>return>get hint for next thingThe fleas were annoying too but I took someone's advice to think of the most retarded route you could think of looking at the map and it actually worked pretty well.
>>721155536just because a game is part of an arbitrary idea of a genre doesn't mean it can only have one facet of enjoyment. The bosses in Silksong are the best part of the game, so having them all be available in a pantheon would be wonderful for players who want that.And Silksong itself clearly puts exploration in the backseat. It's still there of course, but it's clearly not the primary source of enjoyment like it was in HK. A lot of the space in Silksong is reserved for battle arenas and platforming challenges, which makes the way you move through the world a bit more set in stone, a bit more linear, and there's just less room to explore in general. Also the level design is pretty underwhelming in general. The amount of rooms that are just straight horizontal lines that you sprint through is a bit ridiculous.
>>721153171I want to put it in through Lace's poofy pants.
>>721155880>>721155895>>721155953Thanks
>>721155145Most NPCs don't die at the end of their quest though
>>721155954It's not rain, it\s silk dregs falling from the Citadel. Notice all the silk catchers in the background, and how all the enemies are basically jannies
>>721155829Yeah Hallownest really felt like a cohesive world. Pharloom just feels like levels. Like Mount Fay is supposedly above the Sands of Karak.
>>721155691Hornet has no memories with her father.
>>721155691>>721155754>>721155760>>721155828oh neatI think it was scrapped dialog in HK but they re-canonised it for SS
>At 94% completion rate>decide to visit some old places>Check Wormway>Roots?>Mfw everything is flashing blue nowdamn, lifeblood spread this much already?
>>721155462Yeah, this is true. Bug kingdoms would naturally default to being a matriarchal society with Hollownest being the odd one out. And even they wrre struggling against the return of it's desposed female ruler.
>>721156001In Elden Ring it's basically everyone except for Roderika (though she stays together with the blacksmith in the burning hub, so she will die as well).
>>721155803Hollow knight had plenty of warrior women and even some gay ones, stop replying to shitposters.
>>721155152This is international because the game is primarily about motherhood as its main theme
>>721156029I kinda dislike how haphazardly Hornet handled the whole Lifeblood shit in Pharloom.She should know just what kind of danger it poses, but she's perfectly happy to help their experiments with it. It doesn't map with her being more than willing to dive down into the Void for Pharloom's sake at all.
>>721156084There were gay women in HK? I only know about the gay nailsmith
>>721156075In this game it only happens a few times as far as I rememberGarmond, the gay prince, who else?
Whats the point of this area? reached act 3 and i was periodically coming back to it yet nothing happened.
>>721156130What is the Flower Quest
>>721156105Talking to the researcher right now, she is drawing a comparison to "other infections" which is most likely talking about the Radiance's thing, it's weird she doesn't act upon this.
>>721155958Or just be an explorationchad like me and get every single ingredient accidentally without hints lmao.
breh I knew bilewater was gonna be bad going by what people said but I had no idea it was gonna be this fucking dogshit
>>721156167Its a hint that there's something there on the other sideMark the spot on your map and try to find out how to get there
>>721155918I don't remember exactly, the underwork one implies the pale king also did shady things to keep his kingdom running and the red memory one calls him a fool.
why did they draw her like that...
Shakra is a poser. My man Cornifer would've crawled through all of the Citadel just because he could. He'd probably even make his way into the Abyss.
Does this mystery nigga appear in Skong? Any lifeblood lore drops?https://hollowknight.wiki/w/Abyss_Creature
>be a fag refusing to grant the nailsmith his honourable wish of death by his own blade>get upset when team cherry rightly assume you want gay contentNever understood this.
>>721156234So it really was just wisp thicket. Well i guess that's cool.
I just finished the game. Art, movement, combat, and world-details are all god-tier. When in the flowstate this is the best "game pheel" I've ever felt. That said the MMO-tier quests, tool system, cardboard characters, contrived story, and bizarre level design and world building drag the game from all time to merely great. It's frustrating to play something so close to perfect, falling prey to such mundanely bad choices of design. I thought Bilewater was the best area of the game. Act 3 was uninspired trash for the most part. The end of Act 1 and entrance into Act 2 was one of the best digital experiences I've ever had.
>>721155251Younger generations have merely normalized not having male role models.
>>721156172I took that conversation as her knowing about Lifeblood in Hallownest and drawing a comparison between that and the "Plasmium" they are experimenting with.She should be perfectly aware that the Pale King banned its use and did his absolute best to contain it, but in Pharloom she's all too happy to help them further their research. It feels really off.
>>721156105There is a much more pressing matter right now, being fucking void tendrils shooting up out of the abyss threatening to rape everything to death
They should have make Khann the faggot instead of the green prince so we could have made crust busting jokesSomeone please email this fix to Team Cherry
>>721156310isn't at least one of the devs chosen? it was bound to happen regardless of what people said or did, just like kcd2
>>721156272Some foolish scientist bugs fill a desolate area full of worms with life blood plant life to see its effectsYou come back later, not only have the scientists mutated horribly, one of them is a reanimated corpse and all the worms in the area are horrific mutants too
>>721156272Lifeblood is actually dangerous, Hornet mentio d that even her shell can't handle a lot and in Act 3 an area gets infested with Lifeblood and it starts taking over people and beasts in the are
>>721156167Where was this again? Was it in the Bellhart tunnels?
>>721156272Good bit of lifeblood stuff in Wormways. You get a good sense for why Joni was considererd an evil heretic.
>>721155338Based.
>>721156335You can help them collect samples before even entering the Citadel. And then in Act 3 when the infestation has grown rapidly and nearly the entire Wormways are already taken over by it she still makes time to help the researcher get even more samples from the infected creatures.
>>721156310They actually kind of punish you for killing the nailsmith. His body floats down into the garbage dump, and you can find it later near the Godseeker. It's meant to make you feel sad and regret your choice.
>>721156412Underworks, the area where you get the drill tool.
>>721156391>isn't at least one of the devs chosen?pretty sure that's just a meme, there's no evidence he is
Okay, Guys. I'm going to sleep now, please behave.
>>721156167You can hear voices coming from past that bell wall, it's a hint that there's an area there.
>>721156263Shakra is character #823 with god-tier character design and a non-existent personality. They need to find a writer who can match the artist man.
>>721156458Ah right. I need to start marking weird spots like that.
>>721156448He literally asks you to do it
Quick anon is a sleep post lewds!
it took me so many tries to beat cogwork dancers i ended up getting about 1500 rosaries from the big guys outside
>>721156391Still trying?
>>721156504That's pretty much every major character though.
>>721156516Yeah and this is why suicide hotlines exist IRL.
>>721156484I'M GOING TO RAPE LACE
>>721152770SPBP.They should've made a scene or two when Hornet was exploring the Citadel. Maybe one in Memorium where she mentions she remembers where the environments came from. Or, they could've included her as a random encounter, like the pilgrim who mentions hearing her laugh in the Citadel, because she also wanders the Citadel like Hornet.
>>721155958Wait the chef gives hint? And you actually need them? mossberry stew from the druid you give mossberries to, pickled muckmaggot gut from the place the muckmaggot farm, courier's rasher from the courier, nectar from the bartender. The only nonobvious one is in Karak, but you're bound to find it if you've ever visited the area.
>>721156394>>721156410>>721156413>>721156432Pale King propaganda, all of it. Inject yourself with lifeblood, anons! It's good AND good for you!
>>721156529
Are there any ingame hints for the Mists? I've been here for an hour and I'm completely lost.
>>721156629I can't hope but imagine silly cartoon noises when I see this
>>721156504She has plenty of personality and most people seem to love her, what's the problem?
>>721156620yeah sure Joni, look at what happened to the axolotl
>>721156568What's your point? Someone who wants to die doesn't have to call a suicide hotline, they can just jump off a bridge if that's what they chose to do.
>>721156620UUUOOOHHHHHHHH I FEEL SO HEALTHY
>>721156641>butterflies lead you through the first room>they're in every other room>standing by them does nothing>slashing at them does nothingI WONDER IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER MEANS OF INTERACTING WITH NPCS AND SCENERY OBJECTS??
ZANZIBOOO is the best line in the game. That and Mergwin's Ayu Si A Baba
>>721156020She clearly has massive daddy issues. Every journal entry that even touches on the subject is her spitting acid. But its not like we see every moment of her life. Whatever memories she has she just doesn't want to remember them.
>>721156641I'm honestly not sure if there's any hints towards what to do, but I thought it was pretty obviousPlay the Needolin close to those shining silk bugs that linger around and watch what they do
If you no hit a boss there should be a brief window where your taunt is changed to GITGUUD.
>>721156691Thanks. I'm retarded
>>721156694>ZANZIBOOO FORGIVE ME that was a neat fromsoftware reference
I was watching a vtuber and she was really attracted to Shakra at first thinking it was a guy, then she thought Sherma was a cute girl.
>>721156676anon nooooo
>>721156691To be fair, people likely reached that place just after getting the needolin and thus were not used to using it in contextual situations like this yetYou can even get there before you have it
How do you reach this idiot, i combed the area for any holes and breakable walls and found nothing.
>>721156758>i was watching a vtuber
>>721156758>I was watching a vtuberwhy?
>>721155906Masks are firstly a visual design gimmick for some bugs, so that all their "faces" aren't just black dots for eyes and a blobby shapeless silhouette. We see maskless bugs who are very clearly sapient (overgrown pilgrim, fleas), and we see masked bugs who are just beasts (gromling, pharlid).In other words: don't sweat it, sharp horns and extra eyes just look cool.
>>721156629SKII BAH BA BODDA BOPE
If you talk to the druid after already taking the mossberry stew and still having the gourmand quest active she will keep giving you stews indefinitely. Now I have a bunch of useless stews in my inventory. how can I get rid of this
>>721156254Horny character design as a substitute for actual character work or narrative presence.
>>721156758To be fair most people think Sherma is a girl. I don't even know where it states he's a dude
>>721156620I remember thinking that the Pale King was afraid of other powers that could challenge him so that was why he banned Lifeblood and shunned the Snail Shammans, turns out one was Fent and the Sniggers are cunts
Who the frick is mergwin?
>>721156803It's not from the Underworks.
>>721156823Eat them anonThey probably taste good
>>721156832what's horny about it? it's fucking bug with a featureless face
>>721156705But that's the thing, she doesn't seem to hate him, there's no anger, she just seems indifferent and disapproving of his actions.
>>721156841It's in a quest description. Hortnet refers to him as a he.
>>721156854Well that's bullshit, thank you anon.
>>721155376I love his singing voice, sometimes I would make the trek back just to hear those dulcet tones
>>721156803hmmm I don't know anon but there is a suspiciously empty area below you, between north west of Wisp Thicket and the Underwork
>>721156758Based /vt/chad
>>721154839i like weavelight so that it is easy to spam silk skills once you have 2-3 silk heartsvolt filament is good if you use a lot of silkhaven't really used sawtooth circletif you get hit a lot, ie. just trying to burst through an annoying enemy with beast crest or something, memory crystal does a lot of damage. used the torch when i was out of shards and it was pretty goodused spool extender sometimes if i had few openings to spam silk skills so that i had more when i wanted to use it
>>721156694>>721156743I keep running into him in random places in act 3 and he's kinda starting to sound sus, dropping some death flags here
>>721156881How the fuck would even the angriest father hating daughter justify being anti-sentience.
>>721156904It's kinda rude since he technically is part of the Underworks and shows up when you buy the Underworks flea info, you just can't reach that section FROM the Underworks
>>721156942Bro...
>>721155159I think people are reading way too much into the absence of the Pale King. He was deliberately absent and very elusive in the first game too despite being a central figure of it, because TC deliberately wanted to keep an air of mystery about him and Higher Beings in general. It's not some commentary on how absent of a father he was, TC just don't want you to see too much behind the curtain lest it ruins the magic.
>>721156758>I was watching a vtuberwhich one so I can tell if you're based or cringe
Sherma should've died.
I want to see the Pale King's magic cock that can penetrate and impregnate anything
>>721156942Don't worry anon, he's a strong knight. I'm sure he will be okay
Lace is going to be the next protagonist, right?
>>721156705>>721156881She's upset because of two reasons>he didnt spend enough time with her because he was too busy trying to save hallownest>she felt he went too far with his whole plan and that the cost was too greatIt wouldn't surprise me if her the continuation of her story in either dlcs or a new game is about her coming to terms with her Wyrm side and learing to forgive or atleast understand the Pale King and his actions. Especially because mister mushroom deliberate refers to her as "Wyrm" instead of "Weaver" in all his dialog
>>721156996You're cringe, for thinking anyone watching vtubers can be based. Vtubing is the closest analogue to intellectual transgenderism.
>>721157042I was terrified that if you died during the battle to protect him that he'd die.
I'm gonna miss this little cheerful motherfucker.
>>721156948Well, she's obviously not against that part, the pale king isn't the only one capable of doing that anyhow.
>>721156394>the knight can have so much lifeblood it goes offscreen with 0 ill effectsYet more evidence the knight is just built different
>>721157042Neck yourself, cunt faggot bitch NIGGER
>>721156758Dumb /vt/ranny.
>>721157059Fuck no. Nobody likes Lace.Next game will be baby Hornet from the flashback and it'll be cute as fuck.
>>721155039pale king failed because he didn't have enough sawblades to hold of the void and radiance
>>721152942POSHANKA!
>>721157091Hornet's future husband is so cute
>>721157059Why would she be? She's dependent on silk to survive, but she can't make her own silk.
>>721157080A big percentage of vtubers are actual trannies.
>>721157136
I have all achievements (multiple complete playthroughs), complete bellhome desk etc. etc..tiers ordered and based on how INTERESTING the fight was; difficulty not really considered. Surprise: piss-easy bosses usually fail to be interesting. Some of the most-hated bosses are clearly above-average and irritating factors (runback, magot water, 2-damage terrain hazard + ads) clearly cloud judgement for most
>>721156996It was Shiori, but I don't really watch her before you say anything, I was just checking various silksong playthroughs.
>>721157059wouldnt surprise me since TC seem to love her. i think shes an absolute nothing character. havent seen anything positive said by fans about her outside of ironically/genuinely wanting to fuck her/wanting her and hornet to fuck because they think her ass is bigas an actual character not even the gooners seem to think she has much going on
>>721153112it will probably some dream bullshit that is separated from the main map so that it can be accessed at any point and unaffected by the acts.
>>721157145>She's dependent on silk to survive, but she can't make her own silk.Sounds like the beginning of a character arc and something that could be turned into a game mechanic
>>721155159>>721156990You gotta remember Hornet barely interacted with him. Herrah just demanded the Pale King give her a child in return for becoming a Dreamer to strengthen the Weavers.She had a few years together with Herrah after that, but I doubt she really was welcome at the White Palace while her father was busy with his Hollow Knight plan. Most of her youth was spent at the Hive being trained in combat, it would not surprise me at all if she had never met her father in person.
>>721157059There's no one else important left. So it's either Lace or Hornet again but that would be boring.>>721157113>Fuck no. Nobody likes Lace.Speak for yourself, she has a ton of fanart. And a very cute VA.
>>721157059Why?
>>721157140>Hornet's future husbandAwoo~!
>>721157059No, the next protagonist is Second Sentinel
>>721156967You think his pet stayed by him until it died or would it eventually move to Bellhome
>>721157059Yes, whatever it's the sequel, it's likely to be a Hornet and Lace story. Maybe two playable characters like in that one castlevania?
>>721157196A character arc isn't about gaining powerups.
spent hours looking for the last missing spool of silk and the damn thing was right next to damn bone bottom all along
>>721157241That would be like Hornet marrying a dog which is very errotic
>>721157145There's nothing to indicate she needs new silk to survive.Phantom certainly doesn't and they are way fucking older than her.
>>721157247her or shakra have the best potential imo
>>721157226>she has a ton of fanartThat's all ironic.
>>721157042He's morally dead since he became the new figurehead for an empty religion.
you just KNOW
>>721157140that's not kratt
>>721157276All the fleas that go awoo are just (retarded) flea children, so Hornet's pedophilic streak is A-okay.
>>721157059They trademarked Fearless Fox a few years ago. Whatever their next game is going to be will probably be a complete departure from the bug-verse
Sherma is obviously going to be the next protag
>>721156542>more than 15 tries on cogwork dancershow?
>>721157059Wasn't playable Zote one of the original stretch goals? Playing as a pure mortal bug would be neat
>>721157320When you think about it Ballow is in a constant state of being in a glory hole
>>721157257>when you play as Lace there would be no health bar, only silk>need to switch to Hornet to regain silk by hitting enemiescould be neat I suppose
>>721157343No, they're very clearly animals.
>>721157226>there's no one important left...>TROOOOBBBIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOO>game follows Trobbio as he builds a theater troupe similar to Grimm's but less focused on nightmares>revival mechanic is based on lifeblood, which Trobbio becomes addicted to>different movesets change his colors
>>721157350Hollow Knight: Shermania
>>721157097>Hornet can have so much lifeblood all her mask pieces get replaced by it and she starts regenerating health
>>721152663Any mod that lets me keep the fixes of the update but keep the boss difficulty of prepatch version?
>>721157059It'll be Green Prince who uses their husband as a Stand.Imagine Beyond Two Souls but now the ghost is your gay lover.
please help, is there anything down here? it's there where you get the chest nut buit there's another area near it with a toin of those spikeshells you can break, i broke them and only got an enemy, that's it, kiling it did nothing
>>721157409>actor becomes addicted to substanceslike pottery
>>721157272Had the exact same thing happen to me, except I said fuck it after beating lace 3 and just looked up the location. Sure felt like an idiot for missing that one.
>>721157260Figuring out how to survive, what's her place on the world and the meaning of a life like hers is
>>721157378Could be honestly kino, I'm fully on board with Lace's game now.
>>721157457We do a little trolling
>>721157457it's here where i died, i kept trying to wack wallsand died taking a screenshot
Why can I never sit at a bench next to another traveling bug like Sherma or Shakra? Lame. I guess you can sit next to a pilgrim corpse somewhere in Karak.
>>721157429The bosses are almost exactly the same you idiot. The biggest difficulty nerf was damage inflicted by gears and sandworms.
>>721157080lmaodumb luddite
Team Cherry, please let Hornet spend at least a lifetime with Sherma! They don't have to be lovers; they can be companions.Hearing him sing to see her off genuinely made me stand still for a few minutes. If not for the fact that my silk meter was empty, I would have spent it all playing the music for him.
>>721157457There's nothing down there, just some scrap shard veins.Also, use the harpoon dummy, don't try to float those spike passages.
It's insane how hard the visuals carry this game.
>>721157514The snail.
>>721157292It would be very kino but sadly very unlikely
>>721157402Just because the ankle-biter acts like an animal doesn't make it an animal.>>721157325Kratt's the fat ugly bastard of the Flea Caravan. He'd probably put his pale oil in the flea brew before giving Hornet a sample.
>>721157059No, it'll be Zote and it'll be a prequel to the series
>>721157514There's a lot of places where Shakra has a little rock you can Rest on next to her.
>>721157171Holy TRVKE>>721157514>sit next to ShakraYou can. It's just temporary and missable.
>>721157343spider males tend to be far smaller than females but hornet is really short like a child so her choices are a bit limited. no wonder her tastes are a bit ..skewed towards even shorter manlets and children like ghost and sherma
In spite of the whole game (well the first two arcs) being centered around a great ascent Silksong's map is wider than its tall. Imagine if it had been structured as a climb up to the surface, then scaling Mt Fay, and finally flying into the clouds to the Citadel. All with appropriately changing biomes. In a sense it's almost already structured like that, but it doesn't feel like it.
>>721157582Along with the kino gameplay... and everything else.
>>721157059It'll be Garmond.>but he's deadNo, he's asleep. He'll wake up after recovering from his wounds and visit another ruined kingdom where he'll save the day with knightly strength and chivalry.
if you beat father of the flame with anything but hunter, you didn't 100% the game. true test of skill right there
>>721156629
>>721157547You will never be a real woman or an anime girl. You are a balding depressed man and your gravestone will call you male.
>>721157457it was a damn troll dead end with just some shards
>>721157624No, like her father she'll lust for creatures twice her size so she can feel powerful for dominating them
>>721157582They're pretty good but hollow knight had better art direction
>>721157171hard to disagree with this, but I haven't fought every single one shown.
>>721157457lol
>>721152663It's okay to be bad at videogamesSo I don't get why people feel the need to say there is something wrong with the game instead of themselves. You don't need to protect your pride or "image" on an anonymous imageboardI sucked, I still beat everything the game had to offer. Few if any attacks were unfair from an objective standpoint. The platforming was reasonable, even if the 2 hazard damage at launch sucked for some areas. You can explore, you do have alternatives, and easy modes. You dont need them but if you are both impatient and bad you can
>mates
>>721157602They're very clearly animals, there's a big one.Also Kratt would seem like a pedo if they were children with some of his lines.
>>721157757Justify fetch quests. Justify shell shards as rewards.
>>721157757Explain why webm related is somehow a fault of mine and why this is perfectly designed.
>>721157602>fluffy>short >ugly bastard. 2/3. right in hornet's strike range
>>721156842>was right about the radiance>was right about lifeblood>was right about snailsSo what kind of horrible secret was Unn hiding?
>>721157794Pale King TANKED that after fucking Herrah btw
>>721157819kek what the FUCK were they thinking man.
>>721157794>latinx
>>721155000>otherwise she would healkek imagine if she just double jumps to safety and REN in your face
>>721157171Hollow Knight 3 needs more bosses that try to heal! First Sinner forcing you to be more aggressive really made the fight.
>>721156842>I remember thinking that the Pale King was afraid of other powers that could challenge himHallownest coexisted next to Deepnest, Unn, and the Mantis tribe. Turns out the PK never had a problem with other powers as long as they were somewhat sensible. He only ever opposed powers that were extremely dangerous.
>>721157819Well you could have yeah I've got nothing this is retarded design
>>721156620I understand that it's just "expanding" on existing shit, but the edgier take on lifeblood feels like a weird idea, like exploring the backstory of some literally who character in a spinoff.>lifeblood is a bit of extra health here and there, just a gameplay thing really>blue roots and butterflies as a visual aesthetic>joni is called a (kindly) heretic>has a subarea in abyssBut now it's a Resident Evil virus that morphs living things with spooky blue goop and grants massive regeneration and can reanimate the dead and it's just Hornet's/Knight's special nature that lets them tank the mutations.
>>721157757I feel like this game just unfairly punishes low skill players. I'm decent and Green Prince took me only 2 tries, but if I actually got stuck on him the runback is fucking horrible, there are two annoying enemies chasing you, so you have to stop and fight them every time unless you want to lose a lot of HP.
>>721157834I actually don't remember Unn worship being forbidden or anything
>>721157712i seelike the wyrm, she has a thing for screwing plants
>>721157676On the first day, I thought the Citadel was ginormous, like real-world-sized and that Hornet would scale the wall while being battered by the winds (I made it to Blasted Lands on the first day).Speaking of the first day (or the second day?), I remember that guy who posted Act 3 and the Abyss map being laughed at and anons saying he was lying.
>>721157320>he missed the deep docks sauna sex scene
>>721157818Most of them are bad except the cloak one, which there is actually a puzzle too. There is nothing wrong with fetch quests per se, but the amounts you need to fetch in this game are usually too large. Okay, I get seared meat with flintslate, I get it. Why do I have to do this 10 more times?
>>721157171Mostly correct, though I'd place the tutorial bosses over C though, on virtue of them fulfilling their roles well. Fly mother also definitely deserves at least a B.
>>721157819It's designed to troll you, and it worked, it's funny.
>>721157945It's because of the difference in perspective. In Hollow Knight you're basically a void demon that's impervious to 99.9% of everything so feasting with Lifeblood doesn't do anything to you, and most other bugs are dead so you're not seeing its effects on anyone. In Silksong you can see what it does to normal or pseudonormal living bugs.
This game has wormed itself into my brain. It literally feels like 2d Elden Ring. I can't believe how many secret areas there are. Also I really like how most rooms feel distinct. Doesn't have that problem of other metroidvania where the world starts feeling like a mess of repeating tilesets.
Savage Beastfly is giving me the despairI reached the point where I run out of fragments to craft tools like 2 hour ago, But I'm so prideful now I dont wanna farm for it so I want to do it without traps
>>721157819Isn't the shell on the left actually a rare shardliard enemy? It seems this area only exists to fill out the hunter's journal
>>721157350>after silksong dificulty complains in team cherry's next project you play as sherma in a walking sim, with zero combat or plataforming you just go around making your silly noises and cooler characters around you protect you and help youk-kino????
>>721157409DLC Bosses:>Plasmified Trobbio>Volt-Blessed Signis and Gron>Pin Sisters (Pinstress and her sister)>Nih the Outcast (uses moving spike ball traps)>Lost Phantom
>>721157757Bilewater is objectively designed to frustrate the player knowingly, so it shouldn't be shocking when people rightfully complain about it. There's a few other select parts of the game that seem deliberately designed to troll the player, but Bilewater is the most blatant example.
>>721157794Non-canon image, Hornet likes then fluffy her mates were the previous Hive Knights
>>721157059No way. We need to complete the sibling trifecta.Little Ghost was fairly balanced with spell-casting.Hornet is aerobatic with tools.Finally playing as the Hollow Knight as a hulking but graceful behemoth
>>721157819You hit the fossil the wrong way despite knowing where the shards would fly ahead of time and made no real attempt to dash into them before they fell downYou solely complain about the issue without trying to find solutions like a little baby
>>721152870Only time I used witch crest successfully was to spam bind next to its head and asshole so I didn't have to worry about its attacks hitting me
>>721157676>In spite of the whole game (well the first two arcs) being centered around a great ascent Silksong's map is wider than its tall.Yeah I expected that once you unlock the entire map or reach a certain point in the game, there would be an actual physical ascent/descent element to the Citadel and you'd be able to go up/down the whole structure maybe as part of a setpiece. Turns out the Citadel is a fairly small part of the world map and it's very heavily segmented into horizontal areas.
I'm the No. 1 Bilewater fan. Best music, sense of place, and lore in the entire game.
>>721158081The lava version? There's a big fucking boulder at the top of the arena, just keep pogo'ing on the boss to get up there and then hit the boulder to one shot the boss.
>>721157808>Kratt would seem like a pedoKratt's a pervert. They're literally fleas. The adult fleas are also fluffy, anon. The only difference is the young fleas can fly and have fur all over their body.
Team Cherry please do it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRfvT5dK0fI
>>721157226I would play a game with a Sherma protagonist.
>>721158126>game is called hollow knight silksong>no hollow knightwhat were they thinking?
I'm the no 1 bilewater hater. I'm starting wild fires over all of australia because of this game.
>>721158204Kek
>>721158197
>>721158054>on virtue of fulfilling their roles wellthat's fair>Fly mothershe's just gruz mother with summons that die in 1 hit. Sure she spits The Slab's signature sticky goop once in a while but she doesn't even personally follow that up with an attack before you can break free
>>721158134>even the reward after finishing a difficult part of the game is something you need to collect very carefully lest you get fucked over What is the overall logic of this kind of game design?
>>721157983You dont need to fight them man you can dodge the last one before the house very consistently without any damage and there is silk in the basement if you need to heal as wellJust dash away once he appears next to you and his attack will miss. People in general seem to struggle to run through levels in this game ngl. If you get good at it you can go super fast and avoid enemies easily. 95% of enemies can be entirely ignored if you just commit to running and dodging them, just try it
>>721158087>with zero combat or plataforming you just go around making your silly noises and cooler characters around you protect you and help you>Sherma bangs his bells and unknowingly summons Hornet to his side every single timeOh boy, it's Ender Lilies all over again.
>>721158187based swampking
>>721158246No, it's real you can go check it with the super jump from act 3. Provided you haven't used the boulder on this save yet, it's one time only.
How do you do the taunt on controller?
>>721158118You shouldn't complain just because something is challenging, areas like bilewater are unique, memorable and deserve to exist. Zoomers would also have complained about blighttown if it was made today.
>>721158134It doesn't matter which side you hit it, they always fall into the spikes here.
Seriously the backtracking in this game is fucking cancer, currently at verdania
>>721158304R3
>>721158197dumb nigga's confused the two fights that use the same arena kek
>>721158304Press down the right thumbstick button

>>721158204kind of want to do a beast crest playthrough but no blue charms doesn't sound fun...
>>721158119Source?>>721158271Expecting the player to think ahead and not turn their brain off.
>>721158336>backtracking bad>in a metroidvanialol
>>721158235Hollow Knight literally shows up in the true ending retard
>>721158301>super jump from Act 3Nigga I just unlocked act 2 and did the duo clockwork as last bossI just saw the quest spawn on the notice board. Fanciest ability I have is wall cling
>>721158290dash not having i frame is a good decision
>>721158187my only gripe with bilewater is that it's surprisingly linear (as far as items-that-matter go). the only things you might miss are a mask fragment and the double-item slingshot, which are both on the same optional path really
>>721156272>abyss is even emptier than it was in hollow knight>no secret boss fight against this literal giga nigga
>>721158118Bilewater is the only example and ONLY because you can't repair the broken bench unlike in Hunters March and Sinners Road The only bad parts are the big floating guys being able to hit you for 4 masks since your invincibility frames dont last long enough to run away from the second hit The second bullshit part is that the jump from secret bench makes it nigh on impossible to dodge the maggot water on the way outThe leaping worms suck, but are optionalThe area isn't fun, but it's not unreasonable besides the fake-out bench
>>721158309It isn't challenging, it's tedious and frustrating.A bench collapsing under your feet after a platforming trek there it not a challenge, it's a troll for the player. The only other bench is hidden in the middle of bumfuck nowhere and requires you to wade through a maggot pit to reach it for the first time, which the player has been conditioned to avoid. It's intentional troll design, it's anti-fun. There's areas in the game significantly more challenging than anything in Bilewater, but they aren't deliberate trolls like Bilewater so nobody is bothered by them.
>>721158203There's literally nothing implying they're children, unless you provide proof, I'm going to further assume you're the pedophile.
>>721158289There are two of those flying four armed (clawed?) enemies and they WILL fuck you up during the flower pogo sections if you don't kill them first. They hit for 2 masks as well.
>>721158402>Hollow Knight literally shows up in the true ending retardYou have not played the first game.
Human boss fight when?
>>721158309nigga people didn't like blight town in 2011.
>>721157983>unfairly punishes low skill playersI thought it weird that the new corpse shade is not transported BEFORE the boss arena like it was with every(?) boss in HK. Don't really know how relevant it is for other players as a stubborn gaymer, but it felt like a nice touch in the first game. Now it's just another incentive to quit-reload to retreat.
>>721158451>dont last long enough to run away from the second hitUnless you have a wall to climb up to, you can't dash away from it I mean
>>721158402Idiot
>>721158452>which the player has been conditioned to avoidyou sure aren't talking about me. or anyone who played Hollow Knight with its many "swim under that terrain that doesn't touch the ground" secrets
If someone 6 months ago told me the final boss would be called GRAND MOTHER SILK I would call it a shitpost.
Number 1video game sex icon of 2025
>>721158508It's still very memorable with it's respawning mosquitos.
>>721158452It makes faggots like you seethe so I think it's pretty based if I'm being honest
>>721158401the difference is most metroidvanias open up a path so you don't need to backtrack the long way every time, but frequently in Silksong the long way is the only way.
this guy was hard, i had to just rush him cause he's too fast and just tank shit.
>>721158553Fuck forgot pic
>>721158519you get a full spool when you choose to pop it... dying has been buffed
>>721158452It's a unique and memorable experience that was fun and I will look back fondly upon, and if it wasn't difficult you wouldn't be seething, so stop with this "i-it's not difficult, it's just..." shit, it's just cope.
>>721158402that- that's not the Hollow Knight, retard. HK was pale king special little boy. what you were seeing was discarded trash without a name. lil fucker doesn't even have a mind to think nor will to break. 100% pure fucking void
>>721158481I'm pretty sure there isn't a pogo section in the runback man. You can unlock a shortcut where you only have to deal with the teleporting guy right in front of the houseDid you explore the area before finding the boss? And if there was i can't remember struggling with the pogo. The only thing I can remember besides is that I had to jump on the lily padsThe shortcut is unlocked from the left side, there is a gate you can open
>>721158586>tanking hits>with Reaperlmao what
>>721158539It visually looks like it touches the ground, plus you don't want to go in the maggots at all due to the debuff. Most people only know about that bench because someone else told them about it.
>>721158519>(?)I think enraged Krystal is the exception but he's a shitter and you can vengeful spirit it anywaySS does give you infinite rancid eggs that you can use anywhere though
>>721158548why haven't I heard anyone call her grandma silk yetalso finish all the quests in your quest tab and then look at the songclave board
>>721158519Just beat the boss dude. They take 30 minutes at most, 1 hour if you are really struggling. And what do you think silk eaters are for? The reason why the cocoon is in the arena is so that you can use it mid fight to refill your silkbar If they left it outside you couldnt do that
>>721158627I didn't say it was not difficult, I said there's other areas much more difficult that are actually fun. Bilewater is not fun.
>>721158197>>721158350the boulder is still there if you didn't break it during 4th choir but it can only be used onceseemed to deal a lot of damage but nowhere near enough to kill the fly. it just skipped past first stagger or somethingso yes, it is true but a single use
>>721158683because she's not a grandmother, she's a grand mother
>>721158508I did, bad framerate and all.
>>721158637oh yeah there was a door you unlock, but I didn't bother with it cause it didn't seem like much of a shortcut, whatever it only took me 2 tries, I'm just saying that if someone gets stuck here then it would probably suck dick and feel dogshit
>>721158683Grand Mother SilkMother Silk, the Grand
>>721158118Silksong is the DS2 of this franchise. It tried way too hard to live up to it's 'hype' of being a hardcore game for hardcore gamers and is being rightfully torn apart by critics.It's not fun, it's not enjoyable. The game is a slog and anyone who didn't quit at the high halls gank squad 'boss' is a masochistic retard who deserves to have their money stolen.
>>721157984I remember there was a mad prophet near Unn's area though. Not sure if the prophet was talking about Radiance or Unn>>721157171>based on how INTERESTING the fight was>GMS on SReally? I think her fight is just a cheap version of Radiance
>>721158804>Silksong is the DS2 of this franchise.Nope.It's Bloodborne.
>>721158659(You) are the same sperg who was saying this exact same thing days ago. Get a grip retard, no it doesn't and the level design isn't changing no matter how many times you seethe about dying to middling-difficulty Groal. Why are you obsessively in these threads anyway?
>>721158126Ghost was Pure Dark vs Controling Light with Ghost diving into the void part of his beingHornet was Protecting Light vs Biding Light + a Protecting Light vs Corrupting Dark end with Hornet never fully giving in to her halves ofPale Prince should be the proper Union of Pale Light and Formless Dark vs another mix of Light and Dark with him acepting both the powers of the King and Lady but also controling his voidPoor Lost Kin is also a Sibling but he is forgotten
>>721158585There is a shortcut there. >>721158336And there are a shitload of shortcuts throughout the game, no idea what you're seething about.
>>721158804you sound like a redditor's wife
>>721158778The fight isnt that bad if you remember that you can use the harpoon mid combat to avoid the tornado spin move (I didnt until I put in 5 attempts)The way I did it made the runback easy, trust me. It still takes like 40 seconds since you have to load into the dream, but it's not bad
>>721158759>>721158790yes... and saying gran-mah silk is funny because of that
>>721158586>reaper>tank...use wanderer next time. reaper is for skillspam
>>721158804DS2 is the best game in the trilogy though?
how is there nothing in this room? i checked the interactive map, you had to lower a slab to get into this room and there's nothing
>>721157818Fetch quest hate is a total meme, but Courier's Rasher does feel like it's balanced around you preemptively clearing out the path, which is bullshit. I'll agree it's a problem that 90% of the actual rewards are in Act 2, but there doesn't have to be something amazing hidden in every little nook and cranny. The shard rocks dropping like 5 times what they did now would also improve it a lot, it's not like you can stockpile it, and it would allow bad players who need many tries to beat bosses to also use tools regularly without needing to grind.
>>721158728It is, and it will continue to provide fun even after I'm done with the game and can laugh watching shitters seethe at it.
>>721158396>Hornet constantly talks about how she loves fluffy things in the journal entries>only fluffy things in her old kingdom are bees>she directly trained in the hive>only humanoid bees on the hive are Hive Knight and Vespa who she is considered a daughter of
>>721158804hah, shitter got filtered once again
>lifeblood assistantCan you actually kill it? He seems immortal
>>721152870It's piss easy once you understand that you dont need to pogo to hit them
>>721158924this is gonna sound weird but i legit saw your post in a dream like word for word, i'm not trolling or something, this is weird that i had dejavu on a /v/ post.
>>721158997do the quest
>>721158817The mad prophet was talking about forsaking Unn and taking in the infection if I remember it right
>>721158804>silksong is the most soulful game of this franchiseOkay?
>shakra>second sentinel>all the h-game shenanigans hornet has to endureAri Gibson is a real freak
>>721158057I really don't like these lore-centric explanations for everything and anything. I heard the prevalence of 2 mask damage was excused with "Hornet is more frail" and not with "this is a different game balanced differently".Again, lifeblood was almost exclusively a gameplay thing, and even then barely, despite a cocoon in the tutorial. There are a couple of charms and Hunter's opinion, of course you don't see its "true effects" because it's as relevant as crystal-grafted bugs in the grand scheme. My autism dislikes that, just like it dislikes plasmium overdose granting you regeneration, even though blue masks are defined by the fact that you can't heal them.
>>721159032I did
>>721158854The path to the secret bench requires you to jump into maggots and destroy a breakable wall (difficult to see due to the foreground art, much less the fact you'd have no reason to think to check there to begin with), and then swim through. There is no opening when you first go there. Majority of players have no idea it's there. Fuck, I only found out after I already beat Groal
>>721158817Prophet was pretty clearly infected. Hallownest seemed on good terms with the Mosskin provided they stayed on the roads
>>721158984So no source then?
>>721159105there is another one in act 3he would give you a tool to deal with that guyor you can just bruteforce the bastardhe is tanky but beatable
>>721158817Mad prophet's talking about Radiance. Unn fucked off to her cave when the infection started and lost interest in Hallownest.
>>721158817>Really? I think her fight is just a cheap version of Radianceignoring the fact that the final THREE phases of radiance are entirely uninteresting beyond the first time you play through them, GMS has a faster tempo than even AR (reminder that you move SLOW in HK) and I liked how aggressively she retreated. Was she too easy? Yes. Should her stage spikes etc. been relied on more? Maybe. So, she barely scrapes by in S because at least it was fun.
i have two areas i missed, the mist place on the left of bilewater and the ducts on the top of bilewaterwhat am i meant to do first?
>>721158997You just need to dps him. You can do the quest to drain him of lifeblood with the syringe, but you really just need to attack him harder and spam tools to get through his regeneration
>>721158519With most boss arenas depending on where you die you can still destroy it and make a run for it before the fight activates. t. bad player.
>>721158953>Courier's Rasher does feel like it's balanced around you preemptively clearing out the path, which is bullshiIs this really what shitters tell themselves? I just looked at the map, thought of a route, equipped andkles + flea crack, then did it in 3 tries with 2 pips left on the timer. I had the double jump though.
>>721158290Silent Hill f would be looking so much better if their dodge animation was a cute bellyflop.
>>721158963Thanks for conceding that the area itself isn't fun, only people's reactions to it is.
>>721159159Yeah just bruteforced it, charge attacks were the solution to it
>>721159013see you again champ, next time I'll bring the beers. your brain is deteriorating, the usual. It starts picking up weird signals and mixing them up together
Grandmother crest when?
>>721159183Look at your map bro the Memorium is LITERALLY SHOWING YOU WHERE THE CONNECTION IS The mist is beaten by using the needolin on the butterflys to show you the way, it's unintuitive
>>721158997He's killable, he's just got huge health and health regenHe'll get noticeably faster the more damaged he is, just keep goingI saw in a previous thread that its IMPOSSIBLE with Reaper which comes as a surprise to me as I killed him with Reaper
>>721159117WAOW WHY IS THERE A TINY SECRET ROOM WITH NOTHING IN IT?!
>>721159294The closest is getting her silk skill in act 3 if you return to the arena.
>>721159220That's not what I said, but you can pretend it was if it makes you happy.
>>721158953No it does not retardYOU CAN COMPLETE WITH QUEST WITH TIME TO SPARETHERE IS NOT A SINGLE ENEMY IN SHELLWOOD OR THE BLASTED STEPS THAT CAN TOUCH YOU IF YOU JUST RUNTHE CITADEL HAS 2 ENEMIES THAT NEED TO BE KILLED UNTIL YOU CAN GO INTO THE SPA AND HEAD DIRECTLY TO THE GOURMETS AREASTOP REPEATING THIS RETARDED BULLSHIT IN EVERY THREADTHE QUEST IS PISS EASY HOLY FUCKLITERALLY PRESS C AND Z
>>721159346It isn't a secret room, it's a random corner of a much larger room that already connects to the next area. The player has zero reason to expect something in the pit.
The Kino Pale King memory fight won't be in the Hornet's memories, it will be in the Hollow Knight's memories and you'll jump in them in the void, it will be an alternative act 3 final boss where Hornet becomes the new ruler as a Wrym
Just press dashJust jump over the enemyJust use clawlineJust move your character with the tools you are givenThere is almost no skill requirementLiterally just do some easy parkouring Draw a line on the mapThere isn't a single difficult flea quest including Fleatopia
>>721159326>>721159326>>721159326
>>721159449I don't wanna fight PK thoughhe's cool and was right about everything
>>721159294That was such a nice touch to show Hornet's imminent evolution into a higher being.
Can't find the Surgeon's key, what's locked in the Whiteward anyway?
>>721159369Well you ain't given a single reason why it's fun
>>721159510It won't be to kill, but a kind of unlocking of her true Wrym potential. With her understanding that he was right afterall and forgiving him.
>>721159409what mental illness compels a man to seethe about his empirically-incorrect justification of his own inobservance for WEEKS on end, in full anonymity? this isn't the first time you've heard this but I hope it's the last: consider suicide
>>721158997If you've already got rid of the syringe killing him in melee is agony, he just regens way too fastIf you want an easy and fool-proof method for killing him just spam poison cogwheels, they completely destroyed him in like fifteen secondsHe's only useful for the journal anyways
>>721159552The key is Whiteward, there's a boss in there
Is there a way to practice fights in godhome while simulating all bindings? I don't want to download a mod for it it's too much of a hassle
>>721159571hornet would stop bitching and become god's most annoyingly clingy daddy's girl if he ever came back not dead
>>721159604take your meds, more than one person clearly hates bilewater
>>721158997You can, he's just super tanky. I basically mashed him to death with a fully upgraded Needle and Wanderer attacks while only occasionally moving away when one of his tears would hit me. It took like 2 minutes I think? I didn't know about the syringe quest returning at that point in time.
>>721159631Can't find the key and I can tell I haven't fought a boss since I'm missing two Whiteward creatures
>>721159561I gave reasons as valid as your "it's annoying" ones, if annoyance means something is bad, maybe every map should be a straight line devoided of challenge and identity, maybe team cherry should give us a horse in the next game, for us to just run straight through all the poison swamps.
>>721158636>no will to break (...) pure fucking void>An emptiness that was hidden within, now unconstrained. Unifies the void under the *bearer's will*.naheven if lil fucker didn't go on a cultivation journey in pursuit of FOCUS, ending 3 has nothing to do with THE HOLLOW KNIGHT PLAN, it's dragging the moth into the abyss the hard way, no vessels required
>>721152870the red thing kinda looks like they forgot to color that part
>>721159853>no vessels requiredyou're inside the hollow knight's mind while fighting it
>>721157819We do a little trolling
>>721159841>I gave reasons as valid as your "it's annoying"There's several reasons why it's a troll area here >>721158452and >>721158451Plus traps littered everywhere just to be annoying. Sure, they're easy to avoid but it's no less obnoxious as they're everywhere.Now, what's your reasoning for it being a fun area?
>>721158804>aiiee the ganks it's ds2 all over again save me michael zakigauntlets are fun, sorry you have only enough situation awareness to handle one epic duel boss but not 3 dorks
>>721153739if you overuse it you end up in the shard farms, this is already balanced enough
