Have you apologized yet?
My run almost ended to a fucking flyhttps://litter.catbox.moe/1cni5a.mp4
I just beat the "hardest" platform challenge in the game, the mushroom climb above granny. It was hyped up as super hard but it really wasn't for me. I've struggled so much with many of the bosses but that platforming only took me a few times, I didn't even fail once I finally got to the pogo section which I found very easy. I can't even kill the second Trobbio for example, I gave up trying with him. Those balls he throws out that shoot straight lasers and then he goes right into the tornado for 2 masks that you have to jump over or dodge under somehow is a nightmare especially when he's throwing multiple balls at you in a row and you can't even find a way to get in position to hit him. I wish more of the bosses were like the electric one in that area in kharak sands, not just a boss that is spazzing around teleporting constantly, but something more like a puzzle boss where it's pretty stationary but throwing attacks at you that you have to dodge so you don't have to worry about bullshit contact damage.
Reminder that Hornet got, stripped and humiliated in chilling cold of Pharloom's slab.

Where the fuck is the Sherma /ss/ porn?
Finally finding the groove. I can juggle well as long as the big flea stays away—he always seems to mess up my rhythm.
I thought that Charmless/Itemless Lost Lace would be hard but I only died to her five times.I think she's about comparable to NKG in difficulty once I get her down. Doesn't feel Pure Vessel tier at the very least.
>Can consistently get to Lost Lace's phase 2 where Silk mom starts to sperg out and falls down>Immediately die when void shit starts happening everywhere and Lace is nuking the field with explosionsPlease tell me how much more of this there is, if there's a phase 3 I'm tapping out.
>>721770461There is a phase 3 and there's more shit on screen than ever
>>721770387I think she's easier than both of those fights to be honest, it's a very controllable experience
>>721770461That is P3.>P1 the basic moves at the start>P2 she laughs and starts doing her void spells>P3 the room starts flooding and now there's void shit traveling across the screen>P4 Lace starts doing her big slashy move
>>721769885Btw, isn't ghost technically older than the hollow knight? He was one of the "failed" ones, meaning the hollow knight is probably the youngest.
>shakra, nuu, moss druid, gilly and last judge are all voiced by the same persondamn
>>721770259Sherma is not for lewd.
>have to play an entire game of celeste just to get double jumpit insists upon itself
>>721769952Same exact thing happened to me lol
>>721770763They were all probably born around the same time but I would assume the HK hatched first cause he made it to the top before the knight
>>721770651I'm close to the end then. I can do this. I just need to not be retarded. It's going to be hard.
how did the vessels realize that they needed to go up
>lace is canonically an X hundred years old mesugaki
>>721769471Apologize implies that I ever doubted His Majesty, which I absolutely did not.
>>721770353in case you're desperate, you don't actually need to hit the fleas upwards, as long as it isn't downwards it counts as a juggle iirc. The only caveat is that it doesn't look right to me.

what kind of bug would you be and where would you live if you existed in hornets universe?
>>721770815Last Judge and Shakra sounded similar enough that I thought she was going to be her dead mentor or something equally sad. The others are actually surprising though, good range.
>>721771127I think this was a plot of a star wars movie
>>721770353The Shaman helped me beat Seth, but I found it really hard to go much further with that attack speed. Hunter is probably best if you can get away from relying on that upward-moving hitbox Shaman has.
whats the best tool?
>>721771341whoever Hornet's husband was
>>721770461The fight becomes 5x easier once you realize you can pogo thru 90% of her moveset.Got parried? Just jump and pogo.Tentacle dash? Jump and pogoThe later phases are the same, just with more shit on the screen. Stay high, and just wait for the diagonal downward slash, her straight triple slash, or the tentacle attacks to punish her.You'll get hit more often if you try to force punish windows. Just be patient.>>721771341What is the most autistic bug?Maybe a pin sharpening Grasshopper.
I can't go back to Hollow Knight.Hornet's moveset and agility is just so much better than the knights that Hollow Knight feels like a massive downgrade.I dunno how Team Cherry could even top the moveset they got for Hornet and how fast and agile she feels.
>>721771161Lace and Hornet are both immortal lolibabas
>>721771341Probably some fat fuck just hanging around various places commenting on the yummy food in the areas I visitLike cornifer but fatter and for food

Finally finished the game 100% and want to make a new save file to get TRUE PERFECT 100%.Any events, interactions, and other stuff that can be easily missed?
>>721770123I’m curious. How do you solve the parasite quest in act 3 if these dudes are dead?
I got all mementos, but still missing a fucking spool, so not even 100%. Been playing it fully guideless (first time actually checking /v/ or any place that discusses it), how many anons here did find fully everything themselves? Did any of you struggle with the last bits or managed to do 100% much earlier than all mementos?
>>721771969They died?
>>721771885The prison escape sequence only happens if you suck and get grabbed. I'm a god gamer so I killed those kidnapper enemies without ever being hit and never saw it.
>>721771161ToT
>>721771983>missing one spoolCheck moss zone.
>>721771983>but still missing a fucking spoolIs it the one under the elevator in Whiteward? That bitch got me too.
>>721771969they pretty much hold the thing off until Hornet brings them what they asked for. If i were to guess, the item is sitting besides their corpse.
>>721771969Their stuff is just in their house, along with their tool if you missed their sidequest like I did. I'm less upset about that and more upset that my material catalogue will always have a missing spot where that item would have been.
>>721772046I found that one, was one of the last I did find lol. The other one which I found embarrasingly late was the one in whiteward, elevator one. So it's clear I've missed it earlier
>>721771969I'm going to assume it just skips the collection quest they send you on and you just get the parts from their hut directly.
Lost Lace final phase is just filtering me so hardcan't even do shit, I just die instantly
>>721772170Which phase is it? Because chances are you think it's the last one but it's not.
>>721771341Velvet ants are cool looking>>721771757>pillbugBased choice
>>721772093Oh literally was just saying about that>>721772119I swear it must be a place I've visited like 4 times but kept ignoring. Like the same with my last craftmetal, it was the deep dock one to the side of all places.
>>721772091How do you get in there? I immediately knew there would be shit under the elevator but when I tried to get back into Whiteward while the elevator is raised through the underworks I can't because the door is one way only.
>>721772236>>721772091misstagged, whoops
do i need a key?
>>721772291The answer is right under your nose anon, it'd make you facepalm when you figure it out. Don't overcomplicate it
>>721772007Well since your a god gamer you can make your next playthrough “act 2 through wisp thicket” which requires going to the slab.
>>721772291Press the button at the top, then immediately fall and hide in the tunnels on either side of the shaft.
>>721772219
>>721771468>can't learn the nail art that pinstress and sentinel uselame
>>721772291When you go through and end up in the elevator shaft while the elevator is at the bottom. Press the button at the top and rush down the shaft to one of the side passages, you can make it down after the elevator passes
>>721772385Story thing. Don't worry about it now.
>>721772385Don't worry about it until later.
>>721772385You use it to enter The Abyss in Act 3 as part of the main story.
>>721771983I was trying to do it guideless but getting to act two just left me directionless so I asked a friend for help. how was I suppsed to know I had to find a certain number of fleas before the story would continue? had to use a guide for multiple fleas because I searched for upwards of an hour for some of them without finding them. after that, I looked stuff or asked a friend for help anytime I felt stuck because it felt like a waste of my own time running around smacking every single wall of every single room looking for some near invisible hidden path. the crust guardian, in that tiny fucking hole in the ceiling. like fuck off with hiding shit like that.
>>721770830Where the fuck is the hard core Sherma hugging content?
Unironically struggled more with Karmelita than Lost Lace. Seth was harder as well. Cool fight visually, not on the same level as Radiance IMO though.
>>721772386>>721772414I am retarded
>>721771161The mental gymnastics that twitter and tumblr yurifags have to go through to deny that they're fapping to an older woman x little girl pairing have been amusing to watch. They literally use the "I-It's not actually pedophilia because she's 1000 years old and only looks like a child!" excuse that they mock weebs for using without even the slightest bit of irony.
>>721772630I'd say wait for modders to make it better, but modders always overtune these things and have no good sense of game design. So just wait like 7 years for the DLC that gives every boss a super form.
>>721772560I got around 90ish percent in the 50 hours, then spent like 15 hours constantly backtracking and finding new stuff. Like, now that I got all mementos, all relics, all everything (except that one fucking spool, goddamn) I will say most can be found, and if I used the map markers more effectively it would've saved a lot of backtracking. It was tedious though
>>721772416>cheatingFucking loser, just download an infinite life mod like the pathetic creature you are.
>>721772560I meant getting to act three, obviously. forgot act 2 started with entering the citadel.
>StyxWhat is his endgame?>Bell HermitWhat is his problem?
>>721772718 Nobody is more desperate to talk about it than you. Obsession.
(sorry for already collecting the item)Btw, since checking in on threads now, how many things like this are in the base game?
>>721772416>HP Bar mod>The UI is just a flat boring rectangleSo called fans of Hollow Knight have no fucking sense of soul.

>>721772864>What is his endgame?Simping >What is his problem?You find out later
>>721772891To be more exact just areas of the map which you can explore but never get drawn on. This was after sitting on the bench and going back there.
Where is he?
>>721772864>styxkilling hornet once he understands her better>bell hermitsleeping in bell not good idea
>>721772718honestly it would be better if she were actually young
>you can double tap L1 to show the full mapWHAT
>>721773038Probably chilling with all his other bros down in the Void when we see their eyes after the Knight saves Hornet.
damn... an eternity of UNO? i'd go void mode too
>>721773120You can use the right stick to scroll through menus faster.You can also use the right stick to look up and down instantly.You have been enlightened.
>>721772728that tediousness is the reason I used guides. I spent a whole hour trying to find a single flea. the one you go through the hidden path in the fair fields stag station. I hit every single wall in every room. I was looking around the craw lake for secret paths I was so desperate. this game's biggest flaw for me was stuff like this, things hidden so well that it didnt feel fair. you know how when you find a spot you need double jump for, but you dont have double jump yet, you know to make a note of it, to come back for that thing later? half of the silk soar spots were just, not like that. you'd NEVER have known there was a path in that spot for an ability you didn't have yet. and even when you got the ability how would you have known? Look at this shit. How would you know there was a path through the ceiling here?
>>721772864>StyxBreeding sex with powerful woman>Bell HermitDiogenes
>>721773120Just wait until you learn that you can mash during silk storm for more duration/damage
The relationship or lack thereof between difficulty and frustration is quite interesting. Trobbio 2 is kicking my ass. But it's not at all unpleasant. Meanwhile something like the unravelled that was easier pissed me off.
>>721773212>I spent a whole hour trying to find a single flea. the one you go through the hidden path in the fair fields stag station.I spent basically 2 weeks on that, from the start that I bought it to see where it is, to just getting it after fucking beating Lost Lace. I kept checking each time I went into far fields. When I finally unlocked the other part of Far Fields in Act 3, I was so happy I'd unlock it, but nope still not. I checked as you every wall, from every side. Then, after fully giving up on it not being on the new side of Far Fields, I somehow thought I'd need to open the door somewhere else on the map. That I'd be fucked that the creature there stopped banging which happened in act 3. But, I figured that couldn't be it, no way I'd be locked out of fleas. So I looked again at the map, theorizing what way to do it. I figured it must use wind, the gimmick of the area, checked the bell beast and laughed...>Look at this shit. How would you know there was a path through the ceiling here?That one was quite fine, since the bestiary basically tells you which area you're missing places, and Karak is quite small, quite easy to just recheck. The other part of missing stuff isn't looking for visual cues (here they're annoying, you don't see any wall and no black plants, but still hard) but you gotta open the map as well, and really think where could be an area that has something. The area for the parkour getting there never felt justified for the reward, so it made sense checking there for me. Made much more sense than trying to find some spools...But again, I'm somebody who plays game like Noita guideless, am kinda biased.
>>721772932It may as well be. If you're cheating just cheat all the way, who cares?
>>721773212>How would you know there was a path through the ceiling here?Is that the flea spot? If not, I've no clue.>this game's biggest flaw for me was stuff like this, things hidden so well that it didnt feel fairI feel this. Call me a bad gamer or w/e but some of that shit was bs.
>>721773684I had a similar experiences with several bosses. Some of them killed me over and over and it wasn't a big deal. Others killed me a few times and it made me mad.
>>721773706>guidless noitainsane for anything other than the basic ending>>721773876the spot in that screenshot is to a hidden boss that had a mementoI only found it because I was using an online map to find the last 2 spool fragments I'd missed and spotted the area there. I kinda thought maybe there was some quest I missed to find that way in, but no one has corrected me if that was the case.
Did Silk even do anything wrong? Aside from maybe colonizing the old kingdoms, it feels like everything wrong with Pharloom was either the result of the Weavers, or the bugs who controlled the citadel after.
>>721772416>health bar modThe cringe is seeping through my screen
So lore wise the bugs in wisp thicket are trying to burn away the silks before it controls them?
>>721769885Little Ghost becoming the void god of megadeath and destroying the radiance was literally part of the Pale King's plan
>>721774137>insane for anything other than the basic endingI'm 500 hours into it and still figuring stuff out... I've still not found every enemy and clearly still missing some bits, but I'll keep at it. It was incredibly gratifying figuring some stuff out for the first time though, why I do this in the first place
>>721773120Just wait till you learn about the taunt
>>721773684I was cool as a cucumber fighting Groal, Karmelita, Widow, Savage Beastfly, and Second Sentinel.Wanted to tear my fucking hair out going against the Great Conchfly and Bell Beast. Yes, the second boss
>>721774272Have fun with the Cessation puzzle then. That's all I will say about it. You will never find it or figrue it out.
>>721774224Never thought of it that deeply but that makes senseTo me it seemed like the trope of a secondary more primitive religion taking hold underneath the nose of the main force. You could count the sniggers as that too, I guess
>>721772416I don't blame you for using an HP bar mod, it's cool to see how far you get when you die
>>721774224Aren't they just Proto Grimm Troupe worshipers?
>>721774265No it wasn't
>>721774265the pale king's plan was just to seal it in a pure vessel, no? I always thought that it was a very happy accident that things turned out the way they did. I also think it's cooler that instead of muh plAn
>>721774453Nah after you kill the boss, start to kill themselves with the fire(to avoid being controlled i assume) since they lost the source of the wisps
I FUCKING DID IT YOU GUYS HOLY SHIT. I've been at Lost Lace all fucking day and I finally did it. Spamming cogflies was a mistake from the start, all they did was fuck up phase 3 with so much visual noise I couldn't react to anything. After practicing the last phase with no cogflies I finally understood it was just the first phase except faster and it all clicked. I just nailed her with the hunters crest nail for 90% of the fight. Once I was balls deep into the final phase and started to lose I spammed 4 cogflies and they killed her. It was a complete shock since I've been that far into her fight numerous times. I must have been like three hits away from killing her so many times. Finished with one mask left. I can finally put down this fucking game holy shit I'm so tired.
>>721774368>You will never find it or figrue it out.Is it related to datamining? Since if so yeah won't find it, since won't open up the game
>>721770387>>721770564NKG and PV are harder because the Knight can't manoeuvre nearly as well as Hornet can.
>>721774491He hid half of the king's crest in the dream world so that a vessel seeking to claim it would need a full power dream blade, something that vessel would also need to reach and destroy the radiance. He knew. It was plan C once he realized the hollow knight would eventually fail.
>>721774608i actually laughed at your filename. Well done.
>>721774608Congrats anonI gotta sit down and do it myself.
>Picked up Twisted BudWILL THIS NIGGER CONTINUE SCREECHING IN MY INVENTORY?
>>721772630I struggled with coral tower more than lost lace,karmalita and nyleth
>>721774202>another consolebabby malding that he is unable to mod his gameSad!
>>721774757This is your fucking child now. Learn to love it.
>>721774691He didn't hide it there, he hid himself and his court as a last resort after his plan failed. He had the crest on him cause it was some sort of marriage ring.He had no other plan, he basically gave up and either died or was reborn
>>721774757try screeching back at it
>>721774757Shake the baby
>>721774506That was his initial plan but he knew it wouldn't last forever even before he died, and so he set things up to where a vessel powerful enough to break the black egg seal could go even further and confront the radiance with the power of the abyss within the dream world directlyObviously the pale king doesn't have any active role in the godseeker ending
>>721774757Take it to Greyroot in Shellwood and you can silenced it by unbirting it into you.
>>721774631No, you could theoretically figure it out if you played every day for at least one year.
>>721774172It's never made exactly clear who is at fault for the majority of the fucked up shit in Pharloom. GMS, The Weavers, or the citadel society itself. I'm leaning more into the Weavers since you're explicitly told Weavers by nature have an urge to dominate and rule over other bugs, and Herrah/Hornet (and First Sinner maybe?) are outliers. However since GMS made them, it could be argued those traits come from her herself, so she would be just as bad, but that's pure speculation. Maybe she's kindhearted but ended up making a bunch of cunts by accident.
>>721774608Yeah same, I started saving my cogflies until the final phase and just spamming all of them at that point. All four phases are the same basic attacks, but with more and more extra bullshit thrown at you each time.
I can't tell whether I like SS or HK better, SS has far superior movement, platforming, and combat and I think if I went back to HK I'd do doubt think it's an inferior product, but HK feels like a more cohesive experience with a better thought out world.
>>721774691>>721774265>>721774824Pale King saw the future and knew that a vessel would destroy the radiance. So he made a lot of vessels. He didn't know for sure that the Hollow Knight would be the one.

>>721775005find all the fleas in the worldAWOO!
>>721774942His plan was specifically to seal the radiance inside one of the vessels. That plan failedIt just happened that one of the vessels was strong enough to fight the radiance head on.
>>721774930Hollow knights wins out for me mainly due to the music and lore.
>>721775005Find all fleas.Send them to their final home.Start act 3.Find their quest on questboard.

>>721775005act 3
are there any bosses I can miss out on once I start act 3
>>721774824He "hid" within spitting of the abyss and was killed by it. It's clear he felt great guilt over what he had done but also had a growing facination with the positive potential of the void. That he would be succeeded by one of his own abyssal sons is only fitting.
>The inevitable DLC is going to be even harder than Lost LaceGo on without me bros
>>721775173Fitting but not planned
>>721775156ShakraGarmond
>>721775229Then why did white lady know to give little ghost half the king's crest?
>>721774930That seems to be the general consensus. Hollow Knight stands better as a gestalt work while Silksong is better in some of its minutiae and core elements.I think Silksong just narratively doesn't work that well. Act 1 is good but the story in Act 2 feels extremely short, especially relative to the immense amount of side content. And Act 3 is a fun twist and callback to the first game but it doesn't seem to fit in well with the first two.The game is called Silk"song" and Hornet gets the Needolin and the Citadel has this "ruled by musician engineers" thing going on yet none of it seems to matter. The music motif fell flat IMO. It's weird and doesn't work.
>>721775247how 2 fight garmondI fought Shakra, Garmond is wanking around in Songclavealso I think I'm missing some metal chunks for new tools, the forge sister and the architect still have one each to make
>>721775274For a chance to make it more powerful and more capable of containing the radiance. She literally does nothing but encourage the knight to replace the hollow knight.
>>721773038>DLC has you playing as him trekking across the open wastes (only environment big and open enough to accommodate his size) in pursuit of Hornet's kidnappers>runs into Steel forces hunting down Void-aligned bugs and planning an attack on Pharloom and has to deal with them throughout his journey>ending is him singlehandedly destroying the Steel army before it can attack Pharloom, then running into Hornet either right about to start her journey back to Hallownest or making the decision to stay in Pharloom

>>721771341Slug
>>721769471>another of these forms that gets rid of mercury being in retrogradeTiresome, just remove the punchline why don't you
>>721775274If I remember correctly when she gives it to him she asks the Knight to simply replace the HK, it's only after the Knight goes out of his way to get the other half without being instructed to that she thinks it's also not "empty and mindless" and tells it to go to the abyss to find out the truth of his birth
>beat act 3>kept hearing about some "lose all your items" part of the game>never found it>look on wiki>apparently I missed a lot of optional bosses, an entire zone, and two crestshuhtime to go back and get stuff
>>721775375>DLCSo basically in another 6-7 years we got the game?
>>721771440Patrician
>>721773860Unironically this for Wanderer and Architect users
>>721775321IIRC you can't upgrade Songclave a 2nd time before fighting Garmond above the Whispering Vaults. If you do, he'll sit at Songclave and the fight is gone forever.
>>721775598>Using something that the devs put in the game is the same as using modsYou can call it easy mode but common man
>>721775751No the gate is just the high halls gauntlet. If you do that before his duel, it'll just skip over his duel.
>>721775358The kingsoul is a mediocre charm and only useful as a key to the deeper abyss
anyone have the pic of hornet impressing her dad with her sawblade tool
>>721775949Void Heart is a completely worthless charm then since it does even less than the kingsoul. You can't argue about Void Heart's lore significance if you're goign to demerit Kingsoul's worth purely from a gameplay perspective.

>>721776068
>>721776130I mean, it shows why right there in the picture. Seeing Lace bathe gets Hornet wet.
>>721776130She owed her. GMS would have bound Hornet at the end of their fight if Lace hadn't intervened.
Does the mr mushroom quest do anything or is it just for fun and arguably to get you to explore the very top of the map?
>>721776160>I'm just now learning how to make webms in mpvIn MPV??? Why you using mpv to make webms. Just use webm for retards if ffmpeg is too annoying
>>721776231It does do something, later. Keep playing
>>721776186you're my hero
>>721776130She only saved Lace because the reason GMS was thrashing in the void was because she wanted to save her daughter. Hornet de-voids her and then takes her to the surface with GMS' help so she'd finally get absorbed and shut up.

>>721776317it's the area above that one. requires double jump to enter iirc
>>721776317The part where the moss meets the nest IN the weaversnest, like right next to her
>>721776130>If you want to marry Hornet you have to accept a Lace as wellThe poor bug...
>>721776382>>721776443>>721776451This one? I also can't find shit here.
>>721776304It looks horrible, no need to compress it that badly if you'll put it on catbox. Did you use VP9 encoding at least?
Anyone ready for the Pantheon of Pharloom dlc with the new canonical final boss Void Mother Silk?
>>721776665I ain't touching that shit
>>721776607Go back and check other split paths
>>721776119King's Soul does nothing from a lore perspective except allow the Knight to visit the abyss. It is not required for replacing the hollow knight nor does it aid in that process. It's ONLY useful, narratively, as a stepping stone to a vessel self actualizing and destroying the radiance. The White Lady knew to give her half but clearly did not understand why. Unlike the Pale King, who could see the future.
>>721776607Nevermind, I finally found itman, I never get used to these secret passages
>>721775320I think conceptually the idea of SS being this pilgramage to the top is really interesting and contrasts HK well, but while the zones are individually visually appealing and memorable there's never really any moment where you think "so that's how the world works" that makes the journey feel believable. Agree with Act 2 being short, you can blitz it very quickly without even sniffing the mountain of side content, so it ends up feeling weird when you're finally done and decide that you're going to fight GMS now after fucking around for 20 hours.
>>721776615I didI'm experimenting now with different settings to see how things turn outEncoding my karmelita fight with slightly different settingsI set the crf to 20 instead of the default 10 on the last one to see how it would affect the file size
>>721776665Yeah, I want it now but it's probably a year and a half away.
>>721776615But what do you think about the actual fight tho
I think the radiance hijacked life blood to spread the infection
Okay, so before I actually start Act 3, there's NO way to fight Garmond if I did High Halls already? Last time I saw him I helped him fight a bunch of times in the citadel, and now he's just chilling at Songclave. So that's a lost fight now?Also I met the mantis nigga for the first time after freeing him, do I have to do something with him or is that for later
>>721776160Frantic and undisciplined, but you get bonus points for not using cogflies and boogieing during the GMS freakout. How much damage does flint add anyway? I thought it was one of the worst tools.
>>721776772I honestly think there are just way too fucking many secret passages in Silksong. My entire playthrough I felt like I had to spend time smacking literally every inch of every surface to see if it would crumble and reveal a secret.
>>721776762You're just making shit up anon, nothing in the game supports your head canonThe pale king's plan is spelled out and clear. A mindless Vessel to contain the Radiance. It failed because Vessels are not mindless and can dream. Therefore they're not immune to the Radiance
>>721776964Correct, you can no longer duel Garmond unless there's a patch somewhere down the line, but you should probably abandon that idea for this save file. Mantis is for later.
>>721777124Okay, and one more question, the Cogheart? That comes later too? Only the Architect reacted to it but it was just a passing remark.
>>721776937but lifeblood = blueinfection = orangecheckmate atheists
Granny is really fucking annoying in Fleatopia
Pale King had no access to the dream nail so he couldn't have planned anything involving it. He was powerless against dream mumbo jumbo to begin with hence the whole struggle to deal with the infection. That the player vessel just happened upon an insane moth that just gave the dream nail away is the biggest deus ex machina bullshit the game pulls on you, narratively.
>>721776968You know what? Fair. That was a very sloppy fight. Tons of misinputs and avoidable collisionsWhat about this one?https://files.catbox.moe/wywh0a.webm
>>721776806I agree that there’s less of a logic to how the zones connect and how they function. Like in hollow knight, all the damp and overgrown areas are connected. In silksong there’s less of a logic. Like if you look at the left side of the map, at the top you have mount Faye, which is a wet place with icy lakes. Below that is the sands of Karak, which are dry, and then the blasted steps, which are dry, and then the wormways, which are dry, until you are at the bottom of the map at moss home, which returns to being damp. They should’ve included citadel water pumps in the background or something if they wanted to imply that the citadel is the reason the place is dry.
>>721777204Did you complete the Cogheart? There's a place you can use it right now in the mechanical area.
>>721776964>>721777124You CAN fight Garmond after beating High Halls, but that involves slight save editing, which I did successfully. Just need to find the links again.
>>721776937I think the pale king came to hallownest in order to create the hollow knight and train him to deal with the lifeblood situation by having him practice with the radiance.
>>721776813I'd recommend lowering the resolution more than the bitrate with crf. And when using VP9 make sure to enable two-pass encoding. Just try more to reduce the blockiness. >>721776889Cool that ya didn't use tools to cheese, but I feel you didn't bother to actually learn the moveset, and you really not pogoing on her enough, and just kinda spammed wanderer face hits with extra damage to make up for that. Like, both of her parries can be jumped into pogoed if done well (cool idea to parry yourself, but in practice didn't really work and a waste of silk), and whenever you use Hook you should lead that again into more pogoing than just running away. Good first clear though, but since you can retry it might as well try learning how to deal with all of laces attacks.
>The Slab portion >thought I'd have to stealth to get my gear back one by one>nah fucking necksnap the guyThat was immensely satisfying
>>721776160You don't need to compress your video that much if you're uploading it to catbox (200mb upload limit, plenty of space)just use webm for retardshttps://argorar.github.io/WebMConverter/it really is so easy that a retard (like me) can use it; everything is clearly labeled
>>721777235It uses a similar kind of root system
>>721777060I thought the whole point was that The Hollow Knight failed because he was a good dad and that made THK develop a mind, thus making containment only temporary. While the playable Knight is a perfectly void entity and thus able to contain the Radiance in the first 2 bad endings, but alas not a real solution since the kingdom would just remain forever in stasis, no better than dead.
>>721777426It’s impossible to know what aspects the pale king had foreseen and planned. Foresight is such a power that you can claim that everything was planned.
>>721776964Save editor.https://martinshift.github.io/silksaver/Post explaining what to edit.https://steamcommunity.com/app/1030300/discussions/0/595159519774044393/?ctp=3#c596286289747228408Got Garmond to move his ass out of Songclave temporarily so I could duel him.
>>721777286Thought it was a missed opportunity to not have Deep Docks be below Mt. Fay which would make it a dormant volcano and also add a bit of flavor as to why the original silkshot can only be crafted there
>>721777426>While the playable Knight is a perfectly void entity and thus able to contain the Radiance in the first 2 bad endings, but alas not a real solution since the kingdom would just remain forever in stasis, no better than dead.The Knight is not mindless either as proven by the True ending and Godhome, so it would eventually fail too
>>721777060The king knew the hollow knight was going to fail before he died and so came up with another plan for that eventuality.
>>721777573Head canon
>>721777541That’d also work. A lot of my issues come from the fact that the biomes just jump around wildly. At least the right side of the map is consistently damp.
>>721777615White lady says she knows the hollow knight was imperfect and also the pale king retreated into the dream world, meaning he knew that the seal would eventually fail.
>>721777615Him not doing that is also headcanaon.
>>721777323top or bottom?
>>721777279I don't know how you managed to get hit so much and still win. Better than my fight where I just stayed in her face with fleajuice and barely dodged at all. I kept waiting for you to use the rings and you only used them once. I find it impressive you can make use of the longer double heal charm, I get hit enough when healing as it is. Also damn Carmelita's theme is a banger. It's much nicer to listen to when you're not clenching your ass the entire time trying not to die.
>>721777374Can I lower the resolution in mpv or would I have to reexport the file from steam? It's already at 720I feel like I did learn the moveset quite well, I had a run before that which was very close to "perfect" in terms of how it looked and felt. Lots of agression and pogoing, I actually managed to parry her parry like 3 times which felt really neat, but I got got by the fourth phase and forgot to clip it as I was just focused on beating her. Unfortunate that the actual clear was on a very sloppy run. I will freely admit that my playstyle devolved into wanderer facetanking alot of the time lolI really hope a boss rush dlc comes out sometime soon. I wanna go back and face some of my favorite>>721777414I know I dont need to, again, I'm just fucking around right now to see for myself what things doI learn better that way than by people telling meI will probably eventually get into webm for retards or maybe pure ffmpeg, but I mostly use mpv to watch anime and my primary aim is to just find small clips here and there of cute anime girls doing cute anime things, which many people on /a/ have said the mpv plugin is more than enough for when you deal with 5-10 second clips or whatever
>"100%" the game>still haven't filled the hunter's journal>still haven't beaten Trobbio 2I kinda don't want to do it now...
>>721777704She knows NOW that it's imperfectAnd yes the King did that, as I said he gave up and hid his court. Nothing about that indicates he planned the Knight
>>721777426The point is that Pale King's mistake was thinking he could breed a life that doesnt live. The vessels may be mute autists but still can feel. Life is gonna life
>>721777754Bottom I think? I'm pretty sure it's near that tricky platforming section with saws/gears or whatever. It's hard to miss if you've cleared that section.
Which way wyrm dick?
>>721777942Yeah, I just found herso uhh...do I look for her now? I'm gonna check the top of the cogwork, then I guess I'll start sweeping the citadel?
>>721777936oh is that why hornet said that to lace
Are the delivery quests still available in act 3?
>>721777789Facetank with wanderer babeyCan recover so much silk getting smacked is nothingIt's like Hornet channeling Little GhostAlso that was double FAST heal, though, which brings the time roughly back down to a normal bindAnd yeah I forget to use tools most of the time, especially when I only have 1 equipped
>>721777985The robot comes into play later, Act 3 I think. Don't bother looking, you're done with it for now.
>>721778027Yes but the locations change
>Every time you barge into a chapel, you desecrate the corpse of an interred saint or equivalent and bind the imprinted skills left on their soul as a crest>When you do effectively the same thing to the occupant of a sealed sarcophagus, or bind the remnant power of the literal arm of god, all you get is a single skill, something you had previously been getting just from the chozo ruins>Actual weaver crest teased in normal endingThose cunts
>>721777976Fuck Lace marry Shakra.
>>721770123type shit
I think it would be an awesome ng+ feature if you could make your own crest by picking and choosing moves from all of the other crestsFor me, it's gotta be:>wanderer side slash>shaman up slash>witch down slash>wanderer loadout>hunter ability
>>721778076Not truePretty sure you need to encounter him twice, then do his quest in order to trigger the quest for act 3
>>721777830>Can I lower the resolution in mpv or would I have to reexport the file from steam? It's already at 720Again dunno the specifics with mpv since nobody usually uses that, use webm for retards and you can freely change resolution, trim to the exact frame, keep reencoding it with different settings, and lots of other stuff. 720 is still very big for a longer vid unless you're fine with a big ass filesize. I'd say for a game like this even 500p would look good with a proper enough bitrate, since silksong is quite clear in its bosses what attacks are. I recommend maybe not now but getting used to trying new resolutions and bitrate combinations, you get a knack for it after a while
>bug genocider 9000 on the upper secret floor of Whiteward along with that choral commandmentwew
>>721776964>>721777535These things make me seethe. "Hurr you didn't retrace the entired map the moment a single grain of sand moved? Enjoy missing out on content!"I want to be completionist without guides but this shit makes it impossible. Fromsoft games are way worse but it is so bad there that I have simply given up.
>>721778220It's like the bug holocaust
>>721778210Unless there's a second quest with Sentinel, you can fight it in Act 2No need to wait
>>721778076the game says you're lyingwell, two more questions remainI know there are two bosses I haven't fought, and I know very specifically that one can be fought in Act 2. Some kind of giant sand worm? And a proper named boss for those red ants. Any hints?
>>721777976I'll take one bug Elena please
>>721778213I use it :P>>721778289That's what I'm talking about. You need to fight him in order for the quest that triggers act 3 to appear
Such a shame I will never experience this game again for the first time
>>721776231There’s one exchange where Hornet will actually divulge some self-doubt about whether the good she’s doing will actually last.
>>721778318The proper named boss for the red ants is in act 3The only other boss in that area in act 2 is savage niggerflyAlso>Worm??
>>721778346Oh, I didn't know that was required for Act 3
Man encoding with no target file size and constant quality is taking forever lol
Man I made it through 90% of the game, I've spent over 80 hours on just one playthrough so far and I'm at the end with gathering the hearts. This coral tower, man the difficulty has already been extremely hard so far with most of the game, but it feels like just when you think it can't get harder, there's another spike in difficulty. Having a gauntlet of enemies in multiple arenas, followed by a decent challenge of a boss fight, and if I die then I have to restart the entire 10+ minute fight just to get to the boss is a fucking nightmare. I even hate just having to play the instrument to get into the dream in the first place. idk how anyone can even do steelsoul mode, or a <5 hour speedrun. I mean if it's just to get to granny and kill her, fine. She's actually not that hard but the bosses before her are. I'm never going to get 100% of the achievements in this game, it's filtering me hard just like Cuphead did. I was never able to get all the achievements for that game either. But at this point, I just want to finish the fucking story. I really wish they left the difficulty for speedrun shit, not just finishing the damn game 100%. I just want to get it over with and from what I've seen the final boss lace 3 is even harder than any of the shit I've already done so far and I'm not looking forward to it.
>>721778439I don't know, I just saw a boss named in these threads but I don't remember the name, it sounded like a worm. People were saying you fight it in Act 3 but others were adamant you could fight it in Act 2.
>>721778364Same. Just have to wait for TC's next game in 2033.
>>721773038<3
>>721778531>and if I die then I have to restart the entire 10+ minute fight just to get to the boss is a fucking nightmare.anon..... explore more.....
>>721778531I feel like Coral Tower should've had a dungeon so you could learn the patterns of the new enemies before the gauntlet.
>>721778531100% by itself is "easy", the game is lenient on what counts towards percentage
>>721778531Lost Lace is definitely the hardest thing in the game, but it's a different kind of difficult. You can't try to force it. You have to just replay her over and over until you learn her moveset and how to counter it with your setup of choice. DO NOT try to take shortcuts you'll just take longer to beat her.
>>721778531>idk how anyone can even do steelsoul mode, or a <5 hour speedrun.If you only do the mandatory content and know where it is, the game is relatively short.
>>721778680yeah, but without extra shards or health or healing or whatever or upgrading the nail at all it is harder. You still have to be really skilled at the game to do it under 5 hours.
>>721778579Bros.... Imagine Hornet introducing the stoic warrior chick to her autistic murder machine brother and they hit it off.
>>721778514Lmao>300mbIt's twice as long as the sourceWhateverHere's my tormented trobbio bossfighthttps://files.catbox.moe/c4jg96.mp4
>>721777897If his goal was just to run away and survive, he would have left the kingdom, not made finding his corpse a challenge for one of his void sons to solve on their way to apotheosis.
>>721778818I'm not downloading 300mb. Do it again
>>721778579MEŘ-mi-DO
I reached Lost Lace phase 3.. Maybe I'll just beat the game on youtube...
>>721778864It's an mp4 thats 160I'm not doing it againI'm gonna go watch anime
>>721778901Cogflies and tacks
Is Lost Lace harder than Eigong?
>>721778818Use handbrake
>>721778901Save all your cogflies for this part they literally rape her
>>721778531I actually found the coral tower quite easy, the only rooms that gave me actual trouble where the first two because I had no clue what those enemies did. Once you learn that they can be easily countered by just pogoing off them you can beat the 3rd and 4th room in no time. Also, there's an unlockable shortcut before the 4th room, try hitting the environment.Coral Tower boss I actually beat on the first try, his patterns are really easily and every attack is telegraphed, and you can even poggo off the spikes as well.Also yes, Lost Lace IS probably the hardest fight in the game, it took me like 3 hours to beat it. Just try not to panic.
>>721778818flashbang Trobbio... my beloved...
>>721779027Eigong took me longer but maybe I'm just better now. Hard to say.
>>721778820We actually don't know for sure if he died or had another rebirthAnd nothing about it indicates it was a challenge for the Vessels, my own theory is that it was protection against any invaders but this is subjective.Anyway, I get tired of this conversation. If you have actual in-game proof that the King's backup plan was for one of his children to eventually beat the Radiance in combat feel free to post it
>>721770353I'm looking at this and it's dawning on me that the reason I struggled so much with it is because I was using reaper crest.
>>721777249It IS a bit of a dissonance that Hornet goes to play with the fleas while the world is ending. Unlike Act 1 and Act 2, Act 3 does have a narrative time limit, so it feels wrong to do any side stuff. Maybe there should have been an epilogue act where you do all the side stuff, but I guess quite a bit of it does hinge on "world is ending, let's fight".
>>721779145Foresight, bro. She knew it was gonna be fine
>>721779027No way in hell. Lost Lace took me maybe 90 minutes; an hour or so of initial attempts then 15 minutes after coming back two days later. Eigong was 5+ hours over multiple weeks. That shit was the devil. I played Sekiro for the first time after Nine Sols and Isshin felt like a summer breeze by comparison.
>>721779209But that's the Pale king, not her...
>>721778747>Shakra finally meeting someone she has to look up at
>Heard there was some super tough parkour section in the cradle>some even compare it to white castle>Get excited>do it>it's just the same hook jump repeated 15 times plus one section where you pogo on some guys and you can even facetank them with clawline if you're too bad>first screen takes literally 2 tries>2nd screen if like 10 minutes max and half of that is just farming soul because I'm cautious assuming something more difficult is aheadMan that was a let downIt was cool don't get me wrong, if you have the hunter's crest equipped and get the perfect pogo cycle on the beetle guys that's one of the most satisfying things in the game, but man people overhyped it. I wonder if lost lace will be as difficult as they say
>>721779260Child of wyrm and weaver
>>721776785I hope there is a DLC where the little ghost splits off a piece of himself to travel outside the void with her. She's immortal (or very long lived) so having her brother to keep her company though the ages would be a nice ending.
>>721779145Beyond video game contrivance, I justify it in much the same way as how the transition from act 2 to act 3 requires Hornet be invested in the world and quite literally make a home there. The fleas' philosophy to make merry and see what happens when it happens is not illegitimate, and to partake of it can be equal parts foolhardy and enlightening. Being reminded of what you're trying to save is not a waste of time.

>>721776937My own hope is that lifeblood or “plasmium” is getting some narrative build up. It would be sick to see something that can’t be blamed on a pale, just so whatever MC it is at the time would be saying “Shut up, you did this to yourselves.” Zylotol could be the first of many.

>>721779518Nine Sols, though I have a bevy of ones that have struck my fancy.
>>721779348This would be fine if the status wasn't "the world will collapse any second". Maybe if they changed to not have the screaming shaking reminder every 5min, so you feel like it's somewhat stable after the initial void entrance, so it's somewhat ambiguous how much time is left.
>>721779518Environmental Station Alpha
>>721779518Blasphemous
>>721779518I haven't played any other than the Ori gamesNot really my usual genreI tried the demo for MIO last next fest and it was good
>>721779515they only spawn in areas where they can go right back into the ground though so there's safe spots
>>721779568>There is an echo also of other infections I have witnessed.
>>721779630The good thing about liking Kyle Thompson's games is he makes the same one over and over. Crypt Custodian was probably my favorite of them so far though if Islets had really leaned into the map combination mechanic there could've been some very interesting stuff.
>>721779630I'm sitting here wondering if I should mention Islets and you go and do it, nice pick. I really liked the reward system that let you pick an upgrade, and the writing reminded me of old paper mario.
>>721779568They could use the cut barnacle area. Sort of like a fishing hamlet type place
>>721779027I first tried Lost Lace's third phase after 10 minutes, Eigong took me three hours.

>>721779617There's a corpse, but he also left a corpse when he turned from his larger form into his smaller one. So this is ambiguousI'll take your lack of in-game proof and change from arguments into insults as you conceding. Have a good night
Did they fuck up the game in the latest update?if I play for awhile it starts becoming less and less responsive, with significant input lag. Like near unplayable input lag that would absolutely fuck me if I wasn't doing the mushroom quest rn.I'm on PC playing via the Xbox app. Anyone else?
okay so if I can fight the second sentinel now, then where? she fought and permakilled one of the big dudes near the cogwork core entrance
>>721779734I liked CC a lot but I really wanted more Islets. I'm hoping Well Dweller will scratch the itch for me.
>>721779858she'll put up a wish when you can fight, you're fine
man a mod for a pale hornet skin would be pretty neat, but then again considering how massive her sprite sheet is, it would probably be quite an undertaking
>>721779568It’s very cool, but an entire game of “the enemies regenerate health” sounds like absolute hell.

>>721779518Silksong and HK are at the top, but if I had to pick others it would be Bloodstained Ritual of the Night for the sheer amount of content, even though it's very janky, and Phoenotopia Awakening and Iconoclasts for being good ass narrative games (though both have weaker combat compared to HK/SS and Bloodstained). Iconoclasts in particular has that fucked up lore shit feeling that HK and SS evokes, as well as being a single dev passion project.
>>721779605Lace is completely reliant on Hornet for survival now
>>721779626>Finishing off Trobbio by shoving a huge drill up his assIt's what he would have wanted...
>>7217804637 years for the lord of shades and hollow knight to be seen fucking nowhere. I'm somewhat mad.
>>721779518how is La Mulana 2? I'm thinking of buying it since it's bundled with Rusted Moss and both are on sale
>>721779779It’s unlikely but I can’t help thinking he’s talking about Monomon.
>>721780293Does Hornet just say “I’m not ready for this, I have to deal with the curse” or something?
>>721773684because a fair but tough boss (trobio) won't upset you unlike a faggot cunt such as beastfly2.TC just completely fucked up on so much boss designs.
>>721780573Both of those are fantastic games, get them.
>>721780609I fucking hate the Trobbio fights, I find them genuinely annoying to look at
>>721780609Trobbio's drama queen entrance makes you want to punch his lights out regardless of difficulty or reward.
>>721780721has anyone done the comic with the fireworks outside and the guy shutting the curtains but it's hornet and trobbio
>>721779836works on my machine
>>721779518Between Rabi-Ribi, Nine Sols, and The Messenger, but I think Rabi-Ribi plays to the genre's strengths the best

Alright brosDo I start an anime (food court)?Or watch ratatouille?Or watch cars 3?
>>721774757Anon he's cute.Don't bully him.
>>721778747Imagine him standing by her grave being comforted by a Hornet who knew how this would end.
>>721780247Anon he knows literally nothing other than fighting. He was probably trained for years to purge all his emotions. He'd be a fight autist like Ryu from Street Fighter. Worse than that Shakra isn't an average lady-like woman. She'd probably try to fight him to make him like her which would only confuse them both more.
>>721780771this one
I don't get the complaining about Beastfly 21 I get, if you run into it pretty early before you've figured out how combat works or got any decent tools and don't notice it will kill its own ads if you let it it seems like absolute bullshitBut by the time you get to the second fight you have way more shit and should already know how basic the boss's actual moveset is and how to deal with it, the only real difference is the breaking floor which is a small new angle to learn, but otherwise you're way better equipped to just nuke the ads as soon as they spawn and if you can do that the actual boss has literally two attacks and you avoid both of them by just stepping/hopping out of the way and smacking him as he goes by.
>start act 3>get forced into a mini-gauntlet with void enemies using an empty hunter crest and 4 HPrude
>>721780793food court is great. it's gonna be a preview of how hornet and lace will be post ending
>>721780793Ratatouille is better than the food court anime but less good than the food court manga. Don't watch cars 3.
Just beat Tormented Trobbio... 2nd try... unironically found him easier than the first time which did take me a few attempts, maybe I was just used used to him from the first time, but the only thing I found different is that the bombs can now do diagonals, but I felt like he moved slower overall, the tornado felt slower, the fireworks died down faster. Fun fight still, just wished he had more new things.
>>721780432Nothing in the game states Lace needs continuous Silk infusion, it's a misconception that came out of nowhere
>>721772416>cheatswhat a faggot. what else did you set to ultra baby bitch mode you little pussy? the compass too, i bet.
>>721780541The ending literally shows that Little Ghost is the shade lord and has the authority to tell the abyss to fuck off and leave his sister alone
I've been holding off on playing. Accidentally got cursed before I had max masks and I know my autism is going to make me want to get the twisted child ending before curing it.
>>721780784Rabi Ribi is fucking massive, I know some people hate cheevos but they genuinely made me go out of my way and do some other stuff in that game, I should go back one day and finish that 0% item run but it was hard filtering me>shopkeeper boss>uses your items against you>attack completely fumbles on 0% run since you don't have anythingthat was such kino, although her fight was still hard as fuck
>>721780863hot afterfight sweaty bug baby making
>there are missable bosses and npc deathsman fuck off, this game isnt fun
nice boss, took me 2 tries
>>721781038it's not out of nowhere. her beast journal entry says >Much Silk would have been needed to see her sustained. which can either be interpreted as sustained (continuously with more silk) or sustained (on mother silk titty silk). it's in the past tense 'would have been' so the latter is more likely, but still, it's not random or hard to see why there's confusion.
>>721781112You definitely wanted that last mask since it lets you take an additional hit before dying. You'll just have to get super gud now, I'm sorry.>tfw I cleared it on 1 HP myself
>>721781089yeah but is the void beast design on screen anywhere? yeah didn't thinked so
>>721781089It seems open to interpretation to me. If Hornet shows up in Bone Bottom and beats the shit out of a Skull Tyrant to get it to leave the villagers alone, does that make her Queen of the Skull Tyrants? Does she have control over all the bone creatures? It looked more like Little Ghost and his brothers showed up to beat back "other" parts of the void to get them to leave so they could take her to the surface, like they scared off some wild animals.
>>721781327Anon?
>>721781252Don't be mean he is trying his best
>>721769832Honestly this game has a fairly high amount of h-doujin scenarios, or at least enough material for them.>Exhibitionism/ENF>Humiliation>Tentacles>Fat Bastard>Bondage>Yuri>Insect bestialityIt just goes on and on.

>>721771341Orchid Mantis with Millipede wife I'm a footfag living in a place like Verdania before it died desu
>>721781327It is! It literally flashes on screen right where the knight is, making it clear he's only appearing as little ghost so she can recognize him
>>721780541i was hoping we'd get to see the hollow knight in person and that he'd maybe help us in battle after the secret/bonus ending to HK. i guess hornet just killed him offscreen and wandered around hollownest for awhile before the pharloom squad showed up and captured her.
>>721780961I recently watched cars 1 and 2I have to watch cars 3>>721780949I'll start food court, then
>>721781358But the the whole true ending of HK is that he unified the void, the thoughtless formless mass now was him, his mind is the void now, then Embrace the Void shows he's now able to use all that void at his disposal, not that he got taken over by some void beast.
>>721778439he probably means bell eater.
>>721780105I have my concerns
>>721781554that thing yeah
You DID give elderbug a delicate flower, right anon?
>>721781554Ah yes, the squirting anus boss
>>721780921Once you have clawline it’s a cakewalk. Before that it’s a pain.
>>721781554ENTER!!!
>>721781627He's literally me fr
>>721781554How many people were fooled into thinking your precious Bell Beast actually transformed into that thing?
>>721773684Unravelled was a bit of a dick, like 80% of the fight is a non-issue and then he goes turbo mode at the end with spears spawning everywhere.still eats shit to the tacks lmao
>>721781539Maybe that ending is no longer canon? If true then why was the void actively harming Hornet for so long? If the void was all just extensions of him now why didn't he just take over and fix things as soon as it started causing problems? I don't think Little Ghost is as powerful as that ending implies, or maybe the ending itself was misinterpreted.
So in the end what was the deal with the Kingsmould-like enemies shown in the trailers? Did I just miss them? Did the just get scraped early on? Were they placeholders? Is everything actually void?
>wormways>worms mutated by lifeblood>lifeblood mutates like radianceFinal boss in hollow knight 3 is an ancient lifeblood mutated Wyrm. aka grandpa
>Hornet jumps into abyss juice>bunch of tentacles damage you>Hornet gets magic flower>now can swim into the abyss juice, tentacles do nothing>do the cutscene where she jumps and dives into the abyss, nothing can damage her or get close>get to the boss, she's spamming abyss stuff>somehow now the abyss stuff is damaging Hornet despite her still having the flowerThis is bullshit, you should take no damage in the final fight while Hornet laughs the whole time at how ineffective all the attacks are.
>>721781714I think the void is a mass of uncontrollable uhhh voidLittle Ghost can exert some control over it, but when he's not actively doing it, I think it just reverts back to the base instinct of hentai tentacle rape everything in sight
>>721781751The metal things? They just aren’t in the game. Maybe scrapped for dlc.
poor guy. i killed his buddy and then him
>>721781714Gotta have some movie drama first
>>721781778The cutscene clearly shows the flower already starting to disintegrate just diving down, she couldn't waste what was left of it during the fight
>>721781714My take is Ghost was swimming around in his void pool back home and sensed some kinda far off disturbance so started swimming over that way and showed up just in time for Hornet's escape.
>>721781778>Jump into a pool>Water does nothing?????>Get shot with pressurized water beam>Y WATER HURT WHEN WATER GOOD????Or something like that maybe
>>721781879Or the billion siblings are just floating around everywhere and decided to reconvene when they saw something happen.
What's the best Rosary farm for Act 1? On my second playthrough and I wanna buy out everything I can before Act 2. I'm about to go after Widow.
>>721781751scrapped and presumably saved for free dlc
>>721781693I thought it killed the Bell Beast at first.
>>721781843Great moment. I expected the last one to be hypercharged and furious but he was too depressed and broken.Try leaving him alive long enough so that he does the attack where's he meant to join with his partner in the middle and he just slowly sinks back to ground, utterly beaten.
>>721781554I fucking hated this boss fight but that ending was so satisfying
>>721777059>dlc adds tool that throws out a heavy object to smash enemies>also thumps the ground and makes breakable walls, floors and ceilings in that room emit a noise
>>721781539>But the the whole true ending of HK is that he unified the void, the thoughtless formless mass now was him, his mind is the void now, then Embrace the Void shows he's now able to use all that void at his disposal, not that he got taken over by some void beast.He seems to be able to exert control over the void but the void seems to be an ever present force that exists with or without him. A king never has control over his subjects that he ignores.As for what being master of the void really means who knows, really it's a power you can't even use unless you want the entire world consumed.
>>721779518AM2R
>>721782429>>721777059It baffles me that there is no tool to reveal secret passages, especially considering they cut the very same concept as a charm from HK
>>721782429Personally I had more issue with climbable walls that kept going into the ceiling, so maybe have some of radar for rooms that still have something in them
>>721782532There isIt's called your needle and artistically ramming your head against every wall and ceiling in the game
>>721782627not that anon but i did this and was kind of angry a few times when i actually found something in an obscure spot that i would never have found otherwise. i agree that there should have been a late game tool, similar to how they let you pay to reveal the flea locations that you missed near the end.
>>721781472i consneed
DLC tool
>>721774137>I kinda thought maybe there was some quest I missed to find that way inKind of. Nuu tells you about the place. But her instructions aren't very specific. It's supposed to be a special secret. It's not needed for 100% completion anyway.
>Having trouble with Lost Lace>look up some videos on youtube to try to see what others tried>Pollip Pouch Cogflies>Volt Filament Pale Nails>Just keep running away>Bonus for Wanderer so you always have enough silk to heal any damage you take before you even need itIn a way, I'm glad that this game isn't as hard as people have been complaining about, and I'm sure it would be a lot easier if I did it that way, but it feels like I'd be admitting some kind of defeat, y'know?
How the fuck did they let Trobbio into the Citadel? Artistry is probably very dangerous for your militant cult-state.
starting to understand what the point of lore is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00kasalrVXE
>>721783485bread and circus. he's the circus.
>>721783485He probably set up shop once everything was already going to shit
>>721783485music is like half their whole deal
>>721783485Controlling what kind of art is displayed is important. He was government approved
>>721783665I cant believe trobbio is complicit in the citadel's crimes
>>721783470To be honest all hollow knight's hard bosses came from DLCs some maybe it'll be the same with SS
>>721783470She wasn't even that hard though, you just pogo her all fight and when she does the dash that spawns void on the ground you disengage for the second dash since she may jump, but then if you shenshe did a 3rd dash or charges void tentacles you go for another pogo, 2nd phase is the just poking as she starts void attacks, hardly can force a pogo on melee attacks, takes a long time so even in an honest fight it's mostly running away.
>>721783741His description says he doesn't give a fuck about people dying as long as it benefits his show. He's a bad bug.
>>721773212>>721773876The worst one is in the top right of the whispering vaults. My god who the fuck decided to put that there? Most of them are fine, like light shining through the ceiling or whatever. But the two in the vault? My god. The other one where the ladder is hidden on the ceiling? Why?
>>721783485Propaganda artist who hated his job
>>721783929Hey, at least you didn't do the world hardest parkour for a feal just to later find out there was a breakable wall bellow that allowed you to turn on a fan that took you to that flea.
>>721778968>>721779080ez
>>721783485Mf snuck in and built his entire stage by himself purely out of the love of ACTING
>>721784302Is there a reason to not just pop all your cogflies at once while you're waiting for her to pop out the void? Do they do less damage that way?
So like being able to pull dreams from long dead beings means godhome is 100% on the table still, yeah?Binding strength from them means all sorts of bullshit crests or skills are, too
>>>/vg/Go away.
>>721784606I think you can only have 4 out at a time?
>>721783491I like how you can tell half of the comments didn't watch the video
>>721784683Yeah, if you try to use more it just replaces the oldest one so you waste charges.
>>721784680What did you play today, bot-kun?
Hornet should rebuild and rule Hallownest
where the FUCK are the benches
>have to kill Garmond when he's been corrupted by the Void>Lace gets cured of it just by beating her up enough???
>>721784870One is a common bug and the other is the daughter of a god
how far do I have to travel here to find a bench
>>721784941You died to the left of a bench
>>721784941your butt is not going to find a bench anytime soon
>>721784941At a certain point you have to think "It's been a bit too far since I've seen a bench, I should double back and check that path I skipped"
>>721784941LolLmao
>>721785052the game never explains this.
>>721784941Literally poopoowater
>>721785140It is implied for anyone with a brain
>>721784941Follow the bellway sign.
>>721784941literally right here lmao
Ok but how bugs do be kissing doe???I need it for science, my friend aske me to ask.
>>721784302You don't need to wall jump to go over the void waves
>>721785414>you don't need to look fucking cool
I think you should all take glorious plasmium! It's beneficial and protects you from harm! And is utterly and completely safe!
>>721784846Enemies are easy, you can farm the respawining ones for silk too
>>721784914Lace is arguably not even a bug
>>721785432Will it cure my aids?
>>721783897Bad bug, you say?https://files.catbox.moe/ksddsm.mp4
>>721785432I dunno, anon. The Hallownest Food and Drug Administration banned something that seems awfully similar.
>>721785428I just raw those with double jump, sometimes I heal to stall over them, but running away from them doesn't seem that cool to me
So Steel Soul is basically just save scum mode? Doesn't sound fun.
>>721785408Like this
>>721779027Eigong's arena does not have a wall to jump off of and pop 4 health bar heal without any attacks touching you. That alone is the reason Eigong trumps Lace in hardness.
>>721785623You do the challenge if you want to
>>721785564Why couldn't all the gank fights actually be fun like this one?
>>721785623When I did HK I felt pretty confident about doing 100% in Steel Soul, in Silksong I don't think I could get past the Bell Beast, maybe after getting a boss rush dlc to practice and if you get cogflies Act 1
>>721785584>two autists trying to communicate
>>721785680I could have done that without a special modeas it stands steel soul achievements are meaningless and the extra content is just unfulfilling post-game that you need to open an extra save file for
>>721785564Kek
>>721785564I want to ride myBell Beast!BEEEELL BEAST!
>>721785630Thanks, I've learned a lot.
>>721782074The room right of the Greymoor hotel maybe?
>>721785717I think crawfather was helped by having narrative weight and a bit of structure. A lot of the other gauntlets are just 'hey-ho here's some fuckos'
>>721785623Don't know why they added it if they just kept the save on quit in, should have been something else like a set amount of lives until save file deletion and can only save progress on benches. It's actually not that hard once you get to Act 2 but what idiot is just going to accept losing all their progress when they can just quit out at no cost
100%. It's over, I'm finally free...This game is way too long, I'll miss it.
>>721786120Agreed, crawfather was a memorable experience from beginning to end. Compare it to, say, the blowjob brothers in deep docks that come out of nowhere and you already forgot about.
>>721786127If my Steel Soul game crashed and I lost everything I'd be livid, so I don't really know a good way to cheat-proof Steel Soul without making that a liability.
>>721786205Steel soul time nibba
>>721786238I liked the Forebrothers...
>>721786286Nah. I'm not doing the speedrun achievements either. I already got enough of a beating playing the game normally, and boss-rushing the entire game would be my least favorite way of playing it. I'm fine with those achievements sitting uncollected.
>>721786346it's that or spend you time shitposting/jacking off to bug porn
Man, that was just a good fucking final boss.
>>721786127>>721786252When you add a mode like that you're doing it for the people who actually want a legit permadeath mode. You know that some people will cheat it and you simply don't care about those people.
fun boss
god widow was so cool
>>721786447Well is she gonna introduce them or what?
>>721786503organs are a cheat codehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PVB6Okn73c
>>721770353Something about this minigame genuinely pissed me off the other two didn't. Its not even a bad game, but its the fact if you fail, the time between the fail and the start of a new game is JUUUUST long enough to make me stew in my own anger.
>>721786613Weaver's looks so much cooler without their bobble heads
>>721785414>expecting easy mode playing retards to experiment
>>721772718Are people getting mad about fucking bugs
>>721786813>he wastes his double jump pointlesslyYou are both inferior and insecure.
>>721786840Watch
>>721769471took me 5 hours to do lost lace, and about 2 to do the grandmother silk parasite challenge ending. I don't really recall getting terribly stuck on any bosses to the same degree as lost lace or on any platforming areas that would have inflated my playtime too much. just a lot of running back and forth through areas trying to get that 100% I guess
>>721786775Herrah didn't have that, so they just got lazy or didn't care about the lesser ones
I think I'm completely mindbroken because I've just 100%'d the game and this was probably my favorite boss. I hope they do some stupid shit in the godhome variant like removing the floor entirely or making it a beastfly duo.
>>721787040Having dumb shit like completely removing the floor is the kind of thing that would be an incredibly effective troll for Karmelita
>>721783470I thought the same thing, so I kept brute forcing the fight with the witch crest until I beat her with the heal nuke and no tools.
>missed the one silk heart exclusive to act 2 for 100% welp, here's hoping we get ng+ dlc
>>721769471Apologize for saying it's boring filler trash compared to Nine Sols and Lost Crown? No, don't think so bugfag
>>721787229>>721783470forgot to mention it took me around 2 hours
>>721782074the circuit above bone bottom, starting from the bench in the marrow that's originally blocked by a gate if you're coming from the marrow side. around 2 rosaries from the 4 pilgrims there and it's a very efficient loop. can easily get you enough rosaries to buy the few things available in act 1
>>721787259There's no missable silk hearts
>>721787259I don't think any of the silk hearts are missable.
>>721787290>around 2 rosaries from the 4 pilgrims25 rosariesstupid typo
>>721787310>>721787334wrong. i missed the whiteward boss ;(
>>721787259>One from Bell Beast>One from 2nd Lace>One from UnraveledYou can't miss those (maybe from Bell Beast, but you have to be actually trying to)
>>721787409So fight it. He's not missable
>>721787409You can still fight it in act 3
>>721787421No thanks I'm OK
>>721787040>remove the floorI bet you liked Godhome Markoth
>do a bunch of platforming bullshit for a bench>bench is trapped and dumps you in larvae FUCK OFF
>>721787480I did..
>>721787509Welcome to bilewater. We hope you do not enjoy your stay.
>>721787557
>>721787509obliterated
>>721782278>he just slowly sinks back to groundya it was sad. good on team cherry to put the emotion in a bossfight.way better super charged, however if there's ever a boss rush dlc i'd like to see that
>>721787040Some of the Dream Bosses in HK are absolute ass (Marmu) but I do like how they can change dramatically just by altering the terrain.The Beastflies in SS are a great example of what I want to see more of. Just little light things here and there to chill the breakneck intensity of some of the real bosses. And I think being able to change the light bosses intensity by a arena change really can go a long way.
>>721787757Marmu was the only good dream boss.
>>721787757literally every dream boss is dogshit and they're one of the main reasons I never bothered with godhome
>>721787603at least the fog area and the exhaust organ was fun
