I love shakra
>>
So I just learned about the Shakra/Garmond boss battles. I'm very close to Act 3, my Garmond is in Songclave and I moved the fleas the second time yet see no Shakra ring in the area they were in. Did I already miss my opportunity for this or is there some secret to unlocking them? Also, how do you get Shakra to help you in the High Halls Gauntlet? I beat it solo, but it was one of the more frustrating parts of the game for me.

You should be able to duel Shakra if you do her quest to find her master. The ring for duel is on the right, outside of Bellhart.
As for Garmond duel, you are shit out of luck if he is sleeping in Songclave. You you have to encounter him on the rooftop on the right of Songclave, accessed through Whispering Vaults.
I had to edit my save to have him not be in songclave so I could duel him.

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1030300/discussions/0/595159519774044393/?ctp=3#c596286289747228408

Apparently if you upgrade the Songclave via donations too much, he skips right to sleeping and never appearing in the duel arena.
Or if you insert the cogwork heart into the sentinel.
Or when you claim the 3-part song.
It's all still fucking vague.

Aw damn, too late for Garmond then. Where is Shakra's quest. Literally all the signboards i see are empty. The only thing I have left is the Gourmand quest. Is this a Bilewater or Sands of Karak thing? Those are the only 2 regions on my map I have yet to fully explore (that i know of).

>>721242670
There is probably a map or two somewhere you haven't bought from her yet.

It's actually the little details that make this apparent.

Like Sherma in the baths, or the Chakra taunt, or even tiny stuff like having to animate seat straps in the diving bell, or random NPCs hidden behind walls or the secret needolin dialogue. All that shit takes time.

Yeah it's so good. Moss Grotto is also insanely well composed. I also really enjoyed the Mount Fay track. Underworks, the Slab, and Greymoor all match their locales perfectly I think. Everyone is massively underrating the OST on account of Hollow Knight nostalgia and rose-tinted goggles. Its power will become obvious in time.

Killing the stag doesn't really do anything I'm pretty sure (you get the journal thing automatically when leaving the dream). Of course if you want to experience the fight then you have to go back.

That's not true, the Palestag doesn't show up at all in the journal and the completed number until you kill it unlike the rest of the enemies in that area. It's a true missable but it doesn't affect completion percentage since the game will just pretend it doesn't exist if you skipped it.

One obviously doesn't need to like TotK.
But it really was kind of pathetic how many content creators who turned to shit on the game hard, not for any real or sensible reasons, but because they were so clearly expecting to be able to content farm off of TotK for years to come as they had done with BotW. And when they couldn't, they decided to hate on the game instead.
A very similar thing happened to Sekiro. But Sekiro avoided a lot of content-creator-hate thanks to how the Elden Ring trailer already had people looking forward.

Content creators can be really fickle.

>animations look absolutely horrendous compared to silksong
Huh?
I think they're the closest any game has gotten to HK for me. In fact it has it's own style of 2D animation that works for me.

Another one with an interesting 2D style is Cuphead. The big metal boss in SS actually feels like that style for some reason and it's kinda neato. Wish they did that a bit more.
>>
>>721247743
Nine Sols's animation has a charming homeliness to it
Unironically soulful
>>
>>721247847
Exactly. It’s got that hand-crafted vibe, like someone actually gave a shit while animating it instead of slapping it together with industry-grade polishbots. Not everything needs to be 6000 frames of smeary acrobatics. Sometimes a crunchy parry and a few keyframes hit way harder. Soul > smooth.

Only shame in Silksong is that it doesn't have enough comfy benches like in HK.

On that note, I like how everyone made a big deal out of overanalyizing the steel dudes, just for them not to show up

In retrospect, it all feels very silly. All the characters thought to be core to the game often ended up just being early game mooks or easy bosses, and the shit people wrote off as early or midway into the game actually came near the end, and a shitton of the context was wrong. I guess ultimately it's TC's fault for giving people literally nothing to go off of for so many years, but man, people really did try to reverse engineer the whole fukken game and got like, 70% of it wrong, from a few screenshots and such.

There's a courier quest that sends you back up to the mask maker up there. You can swing by and grab the flea while you're there. I'm pissed because I already had to go back for the flea, the courier quest and then I saw while browsing YT there's a bench I missed up there. Cringe zone with too many missables. Thankfully, the cold isn't an issue once you have the double jump.

Because they eventually fucked all those areas up in 2021 as the citadel grew

there was originally supposed to be a whole coral area attached to karak, which khann would have been the boss of. karmelita would also just have slotted into the regular ant stuff, probably in an expanded hunters march. those areas got cut, so the bosses got shoehorned into act 3. you can see a lot of the coral area in the 2019 trailer
>>
It took me an embarrassing 110 hours to 100%. Karmelita & Lace 3 both had me struggling for over a day, I'm losing my touch

Why did she kill Green Prince? He may have wanted it, but that was straight up invasion and murder. Too bad there was no other way for Garmand (but somehow Lace gets the shade beat out of her just fine?), but not sure how the silk got him in the end and never Sherma despite being super devout.
It was cute that her siblings as the shade lord saved her in the end, and her stepmom was apparently good to her, and still alive somewhere.

This is the only one I really didn't care for, despite being part of the intended path through the game it's a complete nothingburger area with no real identity that feels like it was either one of the first areas TC added before they really had a grip on what they were doing or one of the last areas they added to dump leftover ideas into

You seriously never got the boomerang? Crazy. Hunter's Path, but since you're on act 3 it'll be at the top part of the area instead of where the shopkeeper for it is.

Hard disagree, and a lot of it is also that Hunter is just the total package. Dash attack into air slashes/downward attack is a 3-4 hit combo that throttles the fuck out of both your Silk and Focus, ironically making more of the "go ham" crest than Beast in a lot of cases.

stay on the bottom platform, only hop to the ones directly to its left and right if needed. play patient. if she spawns in front of you, ddark for iframes to buy time til you see what attacks coming out. if she spawns to your left or right, stick to the middle platform and steal nail hits while dodging to gather soul. if she spawns above you (ie the position above the bottom middle platform or the ones to its right or left) double jump up and abyss shriek her from below

Should I play Silk Song before Hollow Knight if I’m good at games?
>>
>>721252805
Wanderer is great but it's honestly massively overrated from people having had prior Hollow Knight experience, transferring over skill to Silksong's use of the Wanderer crest.
The evolved Hunter crest is better anyway. Architect and Shaman shenanigans too.
People also overhate Reaper and Witch just because they're slow, but they're certainly not bad.

>>721253376
You only "need" to farm if you consistently die while trying to hoard rosaries without stringing them. If you're not constantly losing large amounts of rosaries then you get more than enough rosaries through normal gameplay, as long as you prioritize what you buy instead of trying to buy everything immediately. Except for the ant in Hunters Path, all the vendors are close enough to bellways or ventricas that it's not a pain to go back to them once you've saved up enough to get something you want.

You DO not get enough rosaries to buy all tools, charms and tool upgrades without farming like a madman. I had a lot saved up and burned nearly everything on a pin upgrade + the nectar for the gourmet quest

Bosses SHOULD give tons of rosaries as a reward for beating them, the current state of the rosary system is just shit

This boss fight fucking sucked. Died like 20 times, then switched to the shitter crest (I normally play wanderer) and only focused on dodging and throwing boomerangs, while the flies and tacks did the heavy lifting. Funnily enough, only got hit once on the winning attempt, almost no hit this fucker.

Still the worst boss in the game by far. It's like what if NKG was complete ass. Fan mod tier garbage.

You're not supposed to buy out literally everything the moment you come across a new merchant. Just put a marker on the map and come back later. Many store items are just completionist trash anyway

Description

Warrior cartographer of a tribe from Pharloom’s edge. Her skills in battle could challenge the kingdom’s best.

She has lived a mere fraction of my lifetime and yet her rings prove a ferocious match. As gifted a warrior as I have ever encountered, and one I am fortunate to call a friend.

I found my final tool! Finally achieved 100%!
And coincidentally, I found my final Shardillard on my way there so now I've also got all the mementos.

BUT though the game says 100%. I appear to still be missing one final Memory Locket.
The game does have enough of them to fully expand all crests, right? It'd be kind of weird if the game was just one Memory Locket short of that.

Searching through all of Pharloom just for one Memory Locket sounds kind of. I don't know. Daunting though.
Maybe I should just start a fresh new playthrough, and thoroughly mark on the map every spot I find a Memory Locket at.

I suppose it's time to beat the crap out of Lace again!

This.
Though I personally didn't really like how slow HK felt with movement. Hornet's movement is just so much more satisfying for me, even though HK had Crystal Heart. I feel like I'm a ninja going through Silk and the obstacles/enemies being really hard makes that more satisfying when you finally get to a point where you just move around them like the wind.
>>
>>721254527

It's not that they're a "wall" it's that you literally don't get enough to eventually buy everything by playing normally, even when you scrape maps for Rosary Stashes and never lose your cocoon.
Throw in ANY scenario in which you are buying Shard Bundles or stashing your Rosaries in chains and you have even less.
The only time this doesn't apply is if you rushed right into Act 3 asap and get the Crawfather nest immediately, in which case you probably won't have Rosary troubles - I imagine most players will not do this.

It's just mathemetical, you retard.

Hornet should say KARAMA when you taunt and should have a ~25% chance to say either SHAW or EDIIRO when using a silk skill.
She could also say KARAMA when doing a beast bind, and SHAW or EDIIRO when witch binding

>>721254752
normal playthrough doesn't require you to buy everything, in fact not much actual progression is tied to rosaries, all of it is optional
a completionist playthrough where you buy everything is not playing normally
also it's better to pay a small rosary tax to secure them and always have them at hand than lose them all
it's not mathematical, it's logic and you seem to lack a lot of it
but why do I know, only completed the game 100% without any farming involved, to the point I have more than enough at the end of the game to buy every shop once again

At this rate I will probably never understand how people appear to have issues with this. I've been at the shard cap for almost my entire playthrough, in spite of using tools semi frivolously. And I bought everything there was to buy in the game and had thousands of rosaries left over. I just waited to buy stuff I couldn't at the time afford.

I never farmed for resources.

I wouldn't say I autistically killed every enemy. But no, I didn't jump over enemies in my path unless I was on my way back to a boss.
So pretty much every single screen I left with a net gain of shards, even though I still used tools against big bugs and when I could score easy multi kills with them.

I never farmed.

Because I think that was the goal. They kinda did that with HK, but they do it way more with Silk. The goal is just to put related things in the game and just give food for thought. Bit like Elden Ring in many ways. You put the narrative objects and some elements there, but leave it largely ambiguous to the interpretation of the player. In a normal story this kinda pisses me off, but it's ok for me in games because I have always done that in things like The Legend of Zelda series (the Forest, Fire, Shadow and Spirit temples are still intriguing to me, but really they didn't give it any proper depth and it was just a themed dungeon) or even Halo. You could go further with that and just have a mystery box like Evangelion though. People still debate that shit and it will never be resolved because it was never intended to be resolved.

CALLING ALL BEASTCHADS

I'm doing a new run and immediately unlocked the Beast Crest to do a playthrough of it. Teach me your strats. And tell me how the fuck I should time the pogo.

I want a DLC with a fully explorable coral area…

>>721257619
Beast shreds gauntlets. For the pogo you need to be a little bit more to the side of the object

sorry shazambros you lost this battle
>>
>>721257674
There's one for a quest in the citadel

>>721257839
who or what is shazam
>>
I have one craftmetal and none of the architects tools, any recommendations?
>>
>>721257756
Coral and crustacean would be great. Just make the DLC dream zones of areas that fell to the citadel or something

Fucking christ, if you give your boss the ability to attack from offscreen at least give him an identifiable voice line for it
It not so hard to not be a complete asshole while making bosses

>The character was created by Seth Goldman, who was diagnosed with cancer and his only wish was to meet Team Cherry. He managed to meet them and they offered him to design a character, which is the Seth we know today. Goldman unfortunately didn't make it to see his character, but his memory lives on in the game.

Can't help but think Shakra's the bug equivalent of some tall-ass African huntress. Only difference is she's a ring-chucker instead of a spear-chucker, which honestly I thought her cartography set was a spear quiver.
>>
>>721258349
that fight gave me cancer
but you can dodge all his moves by just double jumping straight up
in the first phase

How to reach this?
>>
>>721258449
I know the backstory, but all the cancer kid did was do the design
There was no reason to make the fight itself cancer

little ants carrying shit away

>>721258506
sprint
double jump
harpoon
maybe in a different order
>>
>>721258506
Act 3.
You gain a super jump.
>>
>>721258287
i guarantee ive been here longer than you i just dont follow eceleb drama because im not 14
>>
>>721258506
Clawline and double jump.
>>
>>721257674
no, you just need double jump
>>
>>721258614
You can get there in act 2 by sprint jumping off the nearby platform then IIRC using the harpoon then finally double jumping. This lets you get 9 full masks in act 2.

2 hours in and I'm finally ready to fight Moorwing. Steel Soul is another beast, man.
>>
Finally I unlocked the quest to begin act 3. If only I knew I had to talk to the guy in Bellhart I'd have finished this much earlier.
>>
>>721257067
I thought of the Darkest Dungeon affliction thing too. It wouldn't surprise me if it was a reference. Someone did make a Knight mod for DD called "The Vessel". Very fun to play, crazy powerful, but very well balanced because he has like no HP and can die in 3 hits. I want someone to make a Hornet mod for it now. There is a shitty one that just takes her sprites whole sale from Hollow Knight, but I want someone to make one with all of her new tools in Silksong.
>>
>>721258349
I beat this guy in the first try and I don't even remember what he did
>>
>>721258349
>>721258449
I cheesed him with architect then felt guilty about it
>>
>>721247236
I tried Nine Sols, but the glacial fucking pace made me quit. Stop interrupting my gameplay with shitty story cutscenes I don't care about.
>>
>>721250707
I was shocked there was no arena equivalent in Silksong, would've fit that ant area perfectly.
>>
>>721258535
>fight itself cancer
I really don't know why people had problems with this fight. The pattern was pretty easy to see and the shield throw isn't that fast. I get the feeling that people keep trying to rush up on him instead of looking for when he doesn't have the shield up.
>>
>>721249658
I loaded in Boneville and the big skull mini-boss had invaded and I had to kill him.
>>
>>721259052
Then go beat his scores at the flea festival. It's even harder than his boss fight.
>>
>>721259373
the problem is >>721258349
that he throws the shield from offscreen without warning
>>
>>721259253
you WILL watch the chink lore
>>
>>721259524
Except the pattern is that he either throws it to bounce it from the ground to catch it in the air, or he throws it forwards. Darn thing is easy to jump or just simply run further away from, the arena is huge. I never got hit by it.
>>
>>721247236
I don't really know how to put it but it's not just the animation, Nine Sols has a cool art style at first glance but in game the way everything looks is shit tier
>>
>>721250718
Crust King, Green Prince, Nyleth. At this point I got scared because the last symbol dissapeared from my map so I thought I had locked myself out of it, but yeah I could still do the Ant Queen.
Kinda disappointed you don't get an extra bonus for taking all 4 hearts instead of 3.
>>
>>721259859
You can put the dead Prince heart in your room as a trophy.
>>
I really don't like Shakra
>>
>>721258464
I get that feeling as well with her, personally I don't mind it, it something original in a fantasy (bug) game when it comes to warrior tropes, along with east asian themes with the rings, Chakrams

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakram
>>
>>721259986
She's no Cornifer
>>
>>721259927
I know, I just kinda wanted like an actual powerup
>>
>>721253212
>>721253124
I love Shakra so much.
