>completed his pilgrimage when so many others failedHow powerful is he?
>>722536812Next protagonist levels of powerful
>>722536812He's canonically too pure of heart to be stopped. When Hornet talks to him at the Blasted Steps rest stop she talks about how hostile the judges are and he just seems confused because the judges simply let him pass.He is the one.
>>722536812Hes Shermaxxing.
Does anyone actually know what's the actual requirement for unlocking the blue vesticrest slot? According to the wiki it's 20 slots unlocked via memory lockets and crests, plus the 1 silk skill slot on Hunter, but I've maxxed out Reaper, Wanderer and Beast already and Eva still won't give it.
guys who the fuck is bellamy
>>722542085go further into the game until you get a new crestalso it doesn't count the slots for the hunter crest so you wasted your memory lockets
>>722542158That was me last thread. I was talking about Ballow. I have no idea why his name was “Bellamy” in my head, I had to google “diving bell NPC” to get the right name.I think I just knew the name was a loose pun on “bellows” and sort of went with it.
>>722542158he used to be the captain of his own pirate crew until Luffy beat him and then he started working for Doflamingo
>>722542192well hunter crest is best and most fun crest so no he did not
>>722536336The amount of death flags this little guy triggered was something else.
>>722542192>also it doesn't count the slots for the hunter crest so you wasted your memory locketsI know that, I deliberately avoided upgrading Hunter, it's just that the math behind the supposed requirement doesn't check out.>Hunter = 1>Wanderer = 7>Reaper = 7>Beast = 5If Hunter's one silk skill slot counts, then it adds up to 20, but Eva isn't giving it.

What fight took you the longest? for me it was the crow arena or the high halls arena. The stand alone bosses were mostly chill but fuck those flying mobs with contact damage wobble my jhonnies.
I'm still in a dream SILK EATER!
>>722543747Lost Lace definitely took the most amount of retries. It was basically an entire afternoon of learning what to do and doing it effectively.
>>722543747Boring answer but it was either Karmelita or Lost Lace. I didn't time it but they took me the most attempts to click. Way easier on a second play though.
>>722542431witch crest, no?
>>722543747High halls arena was pretty fucking bad, especially since I didn't get any of the three ways to make it easier, but for me the worst fight was >>722543048I just didn't have the fucking patience
>>722543061>you beat his scores and talk to him>hornet praises his impressive scores and tells him they were a real challenge to beat>he just goes "lol whatever i wasn't even trying lmao"He is 1000000000000000000% going to set even higher scores in a DLC. Screenshot this.

Pure fucking kino and absolute cinema.
I just realized that after those two areas right after you get silk spear, they never use those silk walls you need a skill to remove againweird
>>722544503>*SLAP!*
next HK game should have actual swimming mechanics and water levels beyond just wading on the surface with basically no moveset
>>722544724Probably because eventually you get more silk skills and they don't want you going back to a bench to equip silk spear again just to get rid an obstruction
>>722543985trobbio is objectively the best and most fun fight in the game you deserve nothing positive in your worthless life
>>722544674They don't betray her and their plan would have worked if Lace hadn't been a bitch, they also give their lives to fix it even though they don't have to

>>722538796unfortunately anon, the judges don't judge based on purity of heartthe judges judge based on how likely someone is to rebel when shoved into the underworks, and how likely someone is to slave away when toldSherma was let through because he would have spent the rest of his life slaving away using his hard earned beads on a confession machine that gave him an automated message telling him he was a bad personSherma got lucky the citadel was falling apart and he had to find another way in
>>722544790Excuse youNuu is not a snail sniggerShe is a slug
>>722544968I’d own one of these if it were legal.
>>722545017Motherfucker that little perv has a shell.
>>722545009I need you to shut the fuck up and seriously think about what you've done.I would tell you to kill yourself at the earliest possible convinence, but Sherma would not like that. So I'll settle for just telling you to shut the fuck up. Shut up.
>All this talk about the new protagonist for team Cherrys next game.>No mention of the kickstarter goal that wasn't met for a game of pic related.You guys didn't forget about ol' Zote did you?
>>722545017It would be really cool if in the third game there’s a kingdom with some enemies that are similar to a variety of silksong enemies. Only to find out that it’s an area dreamed up by an adult Nuu and that the Silksong hunter’s journal was just research for her domain she was going to create.
The fuck does this one mean
>>722545107She's literally larping. It's a backpack that she takes off. Snails cant take off their shells, their bodies are all up in them.

>>722545180Use lifeblood and the architect crest to MAX LIFEBLOOD.
>>722545161I did not enjoy his boss fight
>>722545130it's the reality of the citadel, it's a scam, it's the greatest scam in existenceand in the end, even Sherma realizes this, but instead of giving up he takes everything good about the faith he had and discards the horrors of the citadelSherma is Bug Jesus
>>722545161scrote the tiny
So what was the citadel’s reasoning for having the memorium? When I first saw it in act 2 I thought “in act 3 they’re going to destroy all the previous areas and this will be the place where you can farm the hunter’s journal.” I was half right.
>>722544926zote
>>722542338Weird how a couple of sentences can hit so hard depending on what you're going through. Just came back from a funeral, good friend's wife passed away. Watching his love die really hollowed him out.Hope you're doing OK union-anon, have a HK1 meme
>Titular character of the franchiseHE will be the 3rd and final protagonist
>the reason team cherry spent 7 years on the game is because they were secretly working on a third game that they'll release early next year featuring lace as the protagonist on a journey to hallownest to take care of the hollow knight on hornet's behalfHOLY KIIIIIIINOOOOOOOOO
>>722545413The Weavers built it when it was clear the pollution from the exhausts of the citadel were killing the region slowly to preserve it. But then Grandmother Silk began to wake and they cheesed it leaving it to go to ruin like everything else.
>>722536336She should've died.
Sherma is a boy

>>722545161the reality is this: people would have a laugh at a small DLC where you play as Zotebut playing a whole ass game as him would get on people's nerves fastwhich is why Team Cherry won't do it, you can't Hornet him he's too much a comedic relief character Lace very much has "future protagonist material" all written over her
>>722545515i would not care for a hollow knight protagonist
>Weavers are just big beasts>Over time a creature like the Radiance is attracted to them like it was to the Moths>Its influence, one could say radiance, causes them to evolve and be uplifted like the Pale King did to the Pillbugs that would found Hallownest>Eventually the weavers realised what a cruel parasite she was and imprisoned her in a silk cocoon>Took over ruling Pharloom but the things Silk put in place were slowly killing the region and nothing they tried to do stopped it>Silk begins to stir and the Weavers run, leaving the Choristers to slow her waking>Generations later she stirs and she sends out hunting parties to get the last weavers hybrid descenants because she cannot have children, only make facsimilies like Lace and Phantom>All die fighting them off or are brought to Farloom and enslaved by Silk and worked to death>Hornet is the last one but also because shes half Wyrm is both Wyrm and Weaver, guess cherry are Werewolf fags, and she breaks containment>Climbs the mountain to the citadel while restoring her strength and either puts down Silk and absorbs her power ascending into a weaver queen or traps her in the void, or her infestation bursts out and turns them both into a big knot of roots till it births a new witch child>Regardless of path taken Silk is removed from power and the weavers die with Hornetis that about right?

Hornet surpassed the knight right?
so how long until they release a DLC with actual difficulty in itI got sad when I realized how baby mode this game was to appease casuals, you can just facetank everything the whole game long
>>722543747Lost Lace. Too much shit on the screen distracting me. I had a few melties.
>>722546085I think they are about the same. I don't think either can actually die and theres probably nothing as strong as either left in this world running on fumes.
>>722545515you know what would be funny?represent the HK franchise in Smash for indie rep or whatever, but instead of ghost or hornet, add HK as the only playable character - the game gets villain/big body rep, and people who haven't played the series get pranked because they would assume you do actually play as him
>>722546107How about playing with the barbed bracelet and not facetanking everything?
>>722546085no. the knight is essentially even more powerful than a true pale being. hornet is just a really powerful and capable bug, but does not have powers that rival pale beings. i doubt she could do anything like gms controlling so many bugs
>>722546107>toolskek. didn't beat the game
>>722546191bro she literzally defeated a pale bug
>>722546189>kill everything 25% fasterlame
>>722546107Couldn't have worked that well or you'd have recorded the whole fight
>>722544968>>722544503What happens if you cut their eyes out?>>722544905Their plan was to release the Shade Lord.
>>722544968What the fuck sniggers are real???
>>722546268or the switch doesn't record more than 30 seconds at a time
>>722546274>Their plan was to release the Shade Lord.Pure nonsense, I doubt they're even aware he exists let alone know what letting him out would achieve, they just wanted Silk gone
>>722536336Sexy little bug ..
so was lace the one that saved hornet and started guiding her early on? and if so why?
>>722545331Does it activate something with that tablet?
>>722546107>>722546361Team Cherry are DMCfags aren't they?
>>722546253yes, that doesn't mean she is necessarily on the same level. the pale king gave higher thought to an entire land of bugs and has the power of foresight. hornet isn't capable of something like that. her silk powers are the most unique and powerful thing about her. the knight is a literal god who has united the void and controls it, and as seen the void is the most powerful entity in that universe
>silk mother growling like a vicious animalKind of hot
>>722546430Even people who've never played dmc like Vergil. He's too cool not to like.
>>722546265Yeah, but you also get punished for facetanking, which is what the original post was about. Also no flea brew either.
>>722536336God he is so precious. If anything ever happened to him I would kill everyone including myself.
>>722546403Mommy issues. I genuinely feel bad for GMS, she loves her children so much and they repay her by trying to kill/imprison her :(
>>722546403She hates her mom so much that she wanted Hornet to get out and fuck her kingdom up
>>722546361You had to stitch two clips together, the Silk meter makes no sense otherwise
>>722546609She killed verdunia even after guy prince offered himself and then imprisoned his lover in a cage in a maggot infested swamp
I thought the krust king's theme was fucking baller and he was a simple but very fun fight.
>>722545367first shrine is ok, that priest guy needs a successor
>>722543747Either Karmelita or Lost Lace. Both of whom took me over 3 hours. Pretty sure Karmelita took longer.Those two fights are the only fights that took me more than an hour to get past.
>>722546454>. the knight is a literal god who has united the void and controls it,lol no, he's a small part of the void which is why he has to protect hornet at the end of the game instead of having the void simply not attack her
I don't get why weavers suddenly rebelled against mother silk. Was it really just because of ego? I mean she uplifted them and gave them her silk so doesn't that mean she's still kinda their mom. I guess the shitty part is being infertile but idk
>>722546764a maggot infested swamp that only became a maggot infested swamp because she ordered all the toxins dumped there
>>722543747I'm currently on a Steel Soul run in act 3.My main playthrough only did 1 and 2 so I'm kinda scared rn. Bosses are doing shit I'm learning for the first time.
>>722546817>lol nomaybe play and beat the dlc next time before you talk
>you don't have to break the green homo out of jail to 100% the gameuhhh based??
>>722546820The weavers weren't fucked in the head like Silk was and didn't have a seemingly instinctual drive to dominate and subjugate.So when they found out that they weren't actually divine and chosen by reality itself as Silk had lied to them and everything they did was under false pretenses it lead to a schism that Silk brutally responded too which pushed the weavers away.
>>722546969do you not? you need to free him to get to lost verdania
>>722546107I know you're just shitposting since you've posted this like forty times now, but I for one think the whole "game is challenging if played straight but provides plenty of tools to cheese if you don't feel like getting good at it" is a much better difficulty balancing method than difficulties. Especially because intentionally choosing to play like a faggot is a reflection on yourself, and not the game.
>>722546019Yeah, Sherma's a boy. And Hornet, a wrinkly old hags, BATHES WITH HIM!
>>722546942anon for fucks sake we saw what happened at the end of the gamethe Knight had to actively fight off void tendrils reaching for HornetUnless you're telling me it was him playing a jolly ol' prank on Hornet, he doesn't have control over the void, he's just a powerful void presencealso half of Hornet's motivation in this game comes from something that only makes sense if the dream no more ending at least partially happened
>>722542371Wrong, he was already working for Doflamingo when he was captain. After being humiliated by Goofy, he was forced to murder his crewmates, burn his flag and become a grunt
>>722546107>>722546361Hell you even have more Brew in the second one, who were you trying to fool
>>722547065yea but reddit gamer dads secretly feel inferior about that sort of stuff even if they constantly yell about how people should have fun playing games the way they want, so they just cry to have the game made easier for them instead
>>722545816Why
>>722547065>>722546107You all forget the original hk was even easier until the DLC came out >but path of pain/grimm/absradall DLC
>>722547065>game gives you the tools to play fairly through its combat challenges>autistic fan base insists you're cheating if you use them>screeches when you utilize GAME MECHANICS that are in-universe and intended by the developerseveryfuckingtime
>>722547131yea, we saw the void subdued in his presence. because he's its unifier and god. the void is an indiscriminately destructive force. it's basically a mindless beast that only seeks destruction. no shit it's gonna attack hornet. that's why the lord of shades is void given form/focus. again, play the dlc before you talk. you clearly don't understand what the shade lord is
>>722545367>Sherma doesn't sacrifice himself to stop the voidSHIT GAMEWould've been kino of the highest order.
>>722536336Had anyone else had Hornet cling two things together, just like Sherma?Is this something you can do? I swear she did one ding with a soundwave. It happened to me right after I finished the Red Memory. No clue how it happened, and I have no idea if I really saw it or not.
>>722547387how would he have known it would work
>>722545030It kind of is, but marriage goes both ways and can fuck you if you don't play your cards right.
>>722547360bro he literally had to fight back against the void it didn't subdue in his presence and again, play Silksong some more, half the game flat out doesn't make any sense if the godhome ending was truly the canon one because Hornet's entire motivation in rescuing Lace is that she's not willing to give up another person to the void, like she did with the Knight
the ghost couldn't reach hornet earlier because of the everbloom
>>722547442when you equip shakra's ring tool and press challenge, she does the cling like her
>>722545164>Inevitable Needolin dream worlds DLC>Nuu's dreams are full of amazing monsters drawn in crayola markers.
>>722547201he wouldn't even fit 80-90% of HK and SS rooms, he would either have some real goofy animations squeezing past stuff or they would have to make the game take place on the surface or something
>>722547443I feel like Sherma would say something like "If there's a chance, tiny as it may be, that my faith shall bring solace to the bugs of this kingdom, then I will do it"
>>722547515Yeah the flower he himself held perfectly fine, makes sense
>>722547515Wrongthe void lake wouldn't hurt her when she didn't have it
>>722547623To be fair, he was still a vessel by the time he did, not yet the shadelord.
>>722547623nope, not after he became a part of the void
>>722543747widow took me embarrasingly long. I couldn’t dodge the diagonal bells in the last phase
>>722547510>attacks the void and tells it to fuck off>void submits and stops attacking>he uses the void to save her and get her out of the seayea that sounds like being subdued to me>Hornet's entire motivation in rescuing Lace is that she's not willing to give up another person to the void, like she did with the Knightyea that's the godhome ending. the knight is lost to the void there too. and you literally see the shade lord's visage flash for a second when looking at the knight in the silksong ending. godhome is canon whether you like it or not. i'm done replying to you because you just do not know enough and it's getting annoying explaining it to you over and over again
>>722547730he picks her up with his tendrils and puts her back up anonand no the godhome ending does not have the same emotional impact on Hornet because she's not there physically to help out the Knight against the HK and pick up his broken mask Do you really have that little understanding of drama and storytelling?
>>722547607and then the it just empowers and possess him over and we have Void Sherma boss fight
>>722546876Bosses have exclusive moves for Steel run? Like what?Team cherry is not fooling around this time
>>722547532“Nuu’s gauntlet”
>>722547236HK combat blows chunks and the only reason the game played well and became popular was because it's easy. The lategame bosses that were intentionally made to be "difficult" mostly just suck ass because of it.Silksong being able to have a baseline challenging level of difficulty only works because the movement and combat are vastly improved. Giving the player the tools to reduce the difficulty back to HK levels is just a genius move to retain the retards that barely managed to make it through HK.But then for some reason bad players gravitate to reaper which is NOT the crest they should be playing and have a worse time because of it
>>722547046100% is not really 100%
>>722548013...?
>>722547851Would've been infinitely more kino than Lost Lace.
>>722548063You can get 100% without actually doing 100% of what's in the game.
>>722548063Literally that. 100% doesn't account for bosses, for example. You can get 100% and not beat lost lace, though you'll only get the cheevo after doing so. Mementos, the stuff for the materium, and the hunter's journal are not required for 100% either.
>>722548078No, it would have been infinitely more retarded.To be fair though, who should the true final boss have been? Lost GMS? That wouldn't really work considering how absolutely fucked up she is in the void cocoon. Hornet would trounce all over her.Perhaps the shade lord as the final boss would have worked, but then you don't get the kino ending where Ghost saves Hornet
>>722547840NTA but anon this screenshot quite literally confirms the Godhome ending. It's only a thing in that one. The dream no more ending does not have this.
>>722548165:(
>>722548160And how would hornet get the brat then?
>not on salegay ass game not gonna play then
>>722548174it's only a flash though not the constant form I'm assuming that the likely ending they're going with is some kind of hybrid between godhome and dream no morethere's no way they don't keep the ending sequence with Hornet helping the Knight out as canon, so willing to bet they're probably going with something akin to the Knight doing godhome but backing out at the last second before fully becoming the shade lord
>>722548289cool, now with the 20 dollars you saved you can spend it on the tranny porn you like so much. or like one meal at mcdonalds. maybe not even that since you order a lot
>>722548174>>722548330Team cherry said all endings are canon obviously sealed siblings makes the most sense
>watching Joseph Anderson's Silksong stream he did a few weeks back>gets into a 10 minute debate with his audience, trying to convince them that Team Cherry are evil for charging 20 dollars instead of 40 and to think of the poor indie developerslol
>>722545009>unfortunately anon, the judges don't judge based on purity of heart There's apparently unused code that would have made hornet not aggro the judges if she is on a pacifist run.
>>722548602so?
>>722548540the guy also said it's a major flaw for the game not to have an easy mode or be more accessible. he's just a faggot now, ramped way the fuck up ever since his tranny fanbase psyoped him into playing umineko. stay far away
>>722548013God I knew not everything got counted in the percentage, but being almost done with the 100% speedrun challenge and looking it up now I've already done so much unnecessary shit. Being able to skip Karmelita is nice since I'm much more likely to lose steel soul to her than the other 3 memories though I'd probably die to tormented trobbio before anything else in act 3

>>722545161The way he was characterized in HK pretty much closed that door. No one wants to play as the punching bag. Good boss fight tho.
>>722545515Want. A normal sized character would be awesome.
>>722548525Almost certainly the kind of thing they're gonna back out from.I doubt they wanted to confirm an ending then, but now they certainly can and will.
>>722548868I went through exhaust organ to act 2 my second playthrough and that fucker was just chilling in the spa with the last judge still alive and not even all 5 bells rung
is getting into the dreams in hollow knight faster than entering the memories or whatever it is in silksong? find it tedious to wait for hornet to wake up, play the song, pass out, wake up again and then go to the boss
>>722548525i'm pretty sure sealed siblings cannot be canon, in fact it would pretty much be the hardest ending to justify. if sealed siblings were canon first question is how does hornet get out of the black egg after she was sealed inside. secondly her dialogue in silksong about how she has seen gods slain before strongly implies the knight defeated the radiance one way or another during the events of HK which doesn't happen in the sealed siblings ending.

>>722545413It's just a place to research fauna in the more wild parts of Pharloom
>>722547665Void tendrils only act on instinct alone. The reason ghost knew about her presence at all because she was deep within the void, not just near its surface. Although, the ghost might be the strongest but he sure doesn't have domininon over the void mass itself (the ending shows shade lord fight off void tendrils)

>>722549517What the White Lady birthed that thing or what, can't imagine where else it'd come from
>>722549897I interpreted it as the siblings mourning the ghost and HK, but finally going to rest. Seemingly the void materialized them in and out of nothing in the abyss, as you can see while playing.>captcha: G0DH0me
>>722549897Free to rest. The siblings were forcibly torn from the void by bug-made horrors beyond imagination.

>>722549263Take a plane to Australia and ask them that
>>722550018An anon was making the argument that the "higher beings, these words are for you alone" signs were just for any bug who entered Hallownest, and that the Pale King granting sapience was a metaphor/propaganda
>>722550320Did you have fun though?
>>722550695absolutely
what is it about hollow knight that attracts autistic people within an interplanetary distanceis it the cutesy creatures contrasted by the detailed environments?is it the furfag appeal?is it the diehard soulslike autism?the lore?i know it sounds like i’m answering my question, but other games have these factors baked into them and don’t have anywhere near the attention hollow knight gets. what the fuck gives? i dont think even sonic has this level of pull
>>722542338doesn't this imply that she intended to FUCK but she just never met anyone who would live as long as her
>>722551117Don't know what to tell you man, the the games are kino
>>722551117Its cute and also fills the gaping underutilized niche of bug worlds
>>722551117>sonic doesn't have this level of pulllmk when theres a chrischan for hollow knight
>>722551117i just found the art appealing and i had just finished playing axiom verge and ori and was looking for more metroidvanias.

Karmelita mi amor.
>>722551998>he touched the anal beadsyou should probably get tested
I beat last judge and now I've lost all motivation to keep playingwhy the fuck am I still missing core movement mechanics 20+ hours into the fucking gamethis is why I only play mario games
youtube algorithm just gave me some guys hollow knight gameplay video with 3 viewsso I clicked on ithe's doing pantheons by just crystal heart launching back and forth 100% defensively with grimchild and honeymasks and hasn't attacked a single time, all passive damageyoutube thinks I want this
>>722552145it knows you frequent /v/ which is full of shitters coping about silksong being too hard
>>722542734Already had him beat with 109 in Flea Dodge, but he made me appreciate the other two more by forcing me to get significantly better. His boss fight was annoying, though. Fucker had some buggy i-frames. Eventually I just said fuck it and shredded him with poison cogflies and spikes. Interesting how much the spikes move along the floor in his area.
>>722552145>he's doing pantheons by just crystal heart launching back and forth 100% defensively with grimchild and honeymasks and hasn't attacked a single time, all passive damageBased
>>722550320Yeah but this only really works endgame
>>722542192Upgrading Hunter doesn't count? The fuck?
>>722548751you dont lost steel soul to dream boss
>>722548129Which is normal for the genre, right? Completion % is almost always "item collection %".
>>722553196Tormented Trobbio isn't a dream boss.
>>722553196I was actually just wondering that exact thing. Guess I will really will be dying to tormented trobbio or lost lace or honestly most likely the low health/no silk arena immediately after starting act 3
>>722545009No, Sherma would have 100% made it into the choir. Probably would have been the fastest promotion to conductor in Pharloom history. Although that's still not an ideal outcome.
>>722543747Groal. By the time I got to High Halls I already explored everything so Shakra helped me out
>>722543747Karmelita
>>722543747Lost Lace. And Savage Beastfly 1 lol.
>>722546107>want a hard game>use a cheese buildI'm confused, do you want a difficult fight or not?
>>722546107if it helps people finish the game i think it's fine.
>>722548174The shade lord is the fully awakened form of void heart knight. The fact that it flashes only for a moment makes it seem more like the godhome ending didn't happen.
>>722547510>Hornet's entire motivation in rescuing Lace is that she's not willing to give up another person to the voidYou could not be more wrong. She needs Lace gone so GMS will succumb.
>>722543747Summoned Savior
>>722548165Loam deserved better
>>722553372Tormented Trobio isn't required for 100% file completion.
>>722554441and yet, if you didn't beat him, you didn't beat the game
Coral Tower probably used to be big af before getting cut considering there were like 20 unique enemy types used for a boss gauntlet.
>>722554680It was a major biome for nearly half of the game's development lmao

>>722554680probably? we know for a fact it was.
>>722543747No boss besides Lost Lace took me more than a half hour, and Lost Lace took me only an hour. No matter how hard I thought "this boss is bullshit," I never actually struggled too badly in absolute trrms. Unless it was a gank fight. The game's only hard when you're getting ganked because of how throttled Hornet's crowd control tools are. Silk Arts are kneecaped by how expensive healing is and tools are cucked by shards. Ganks are basically just RANDOM BULLSHIT GO and hope you win in like 1-2 tries so the shards cost doesn't rape you, or you spawnkill the mobs with silk after you've already seen when and where they spawn.
>>722553196>>722553432>>722554441Wait, 100% steel soul achievement act 3 really is easier than I expect.>Can't die in memory fights>4 memories, so can skip fighting Seth>No need to fight Watcher, Plasmified Zango, Crawfather, Garmond, go to surface, or Trobbio (since it's a tool upgrade)Only required bosses you can die to is Bell Eater, Pinstress (lmao), Voltvyrm (LAMO), Gurr, Unravelled, and Lost LaceBell eater can be an asshole sometimes but isn't overall too bad. Unravelled isn't hard if you're diligent fighting him but I can see myself dying to. But Lost Lace is Lost Lace and the fact that you HAVE to do her last means it'll be annoying as fuck to die to her
>>722545413It's half research facility, half zoo. Proof of the Citadel's superiority and conquest over Pharloom's wilds and the smaller kingdoms that once ruled there.
what do the bugs of pharloom actually worship? i know it is very tempting to say they worship silk since she is in charge of the citadel but it's interesting that none of the commoner characters ever really seem to refer to her in any capacity, it's hard to say if most of the characters we see in the game are even aware of her. they talk about devotion and faith and there is obviously a deep religiosity to most of the characters in pharloom, and there are lots of things that are defined as either pious or sinful behaviour, but of all the statues and idols you see around they never seem to be of silk herself. does anyone know of anything in game that can help me understand how their religion is actually structured a little better? if there is evidence that everyone is worshiping silk pls help me out here
Was it really necessary to give hornet 2 STDs this game?
>>722554950yes act 3 is pretty much as free as act 1 in steel soul. act 2 is the only actually difficult part because there is so much god damn dangerous shit to do in act 2
>There are people here that don't understand the symbolism of the Void Entity flashing on screen for a split second It flashing on screen means the Shade Lord form Hornet sees is what The Knight wants her to see while the Entity is still it's true form. The Knight was basically saying "It's still me," by showing her a form similar to what she knows because that thing would scare the shit out of even Hornet and Hornet would not have seen The Knight in that form in any of the endings it appears in.
>>722554939lmao this loser didn't use witch crest in gank fights so he can simultaneously heal and clear out half the room, then take his time regaining silk from the other half. I don't think I died to any arena fight after getting Witch
>>722546764>She killed verdunia even after guy prince offered himself and then imprisoned his lover in a cage in a maggot infested swampWasn't that the weavers who originally imprisoned GMS? It's hard to tell what were her crimes and what were the Weaver's crimes in this game. She ruled, but then her adopted kids imprisoned her, then some left while other stayed and perished, then the haunting begins and she starts fucking up everyone using silk because she's mad. I really don't if her or the weavers started the war on the other tribes to expand Pharloom.
>>722555050There are those relics where they appear to treat weavers as saints or lesser gods. You're right that they don't ever seem to talk about silk herself. So it could be that the weavers and/or conductors have steered the religion towards worshiping a more abstract concept of god or even towards a non-theistic religion in order to keep silk and her containment secret.
>>722554950also you can and probably should do the unraveled in act 2
>>722555189The delicate flower ending probably the one they're playing on. I'd say the knight went a little mad with power and rampages in the godhome endings. My take is the delicate flower ending sees the knight get warped away and it comes to its senses after a time.
>>722554950At least you can practice lost last without mods.
So like how does us beating the shit out of lace make her unvoid
>>722555521Hornet slapped the black off of her.
>>722555446Can you? I remember trying to get up to the key while passing by to help Sherma in the speedrun run I'm doing but I don't remember why I wrote it off as a forced silksoar usage (granted I remember only trying like once)
>>722555521Bratty lace needed correction, we administered it to her
>>722555521you could say the flower is helping and/or GMS is protecting her from the abyss but probably more interesting to think about it from a lore/theme perspective. the questions to be answered by somebody who has thought about this more than me would be 1) what does being taken by the void represent and 2) what does hornet diving into the abyss to rescue lace mean for lace's character with regards to the reason she was able to be taken by the void. i leave this as an exercise for the reader.
>>722551350I like to interpret a different meaning
>>722555763You can. I don't even think I had clawline yet. And I know I didn't have double jump yet.
>>722555763nah it's a bit awkward but you can just double jump up there iirc.
>>722555861>>722555872Huh, I'm still clearing out act 3 right now in that run and haven't gone back so maybe I'll see what the fuck I was thinking then. I definitely had double jump then since it was the first thing I did after the 5 hour GMS kill.
>>722543747That fat floating fuck in Bilehaven.
>>722536336>OMG HECKING WHOLESOME MASCOT CHARACTER?!?!?!?!!!
>>722556067>Gaylord would not suck off the bug shota
>>722551350>none could match my lifespanIt implies lifelong relationships, but her life is much longer, like an elf marrying a human in traditional fantasyLiving long enough to see entire kingdoms fall to ruin and all your loved ones age and die would explain why she's such a cold, strictly business cunt
>>722556154>why she's such a cold, strictly business cuntNot for long, it didn't take much for Hornet to go from "I'm just here to fuck up GMS so she can leave me alone" to "I care about all my friends and I'm fighting to give them a better future". She's fundamentally a big softy
>>722556292Makes sense. She warmed up to the little knight quickly enough. Sure it's her brother but it's also a stranger and void abomination but that doesn't mean it can't be friends.
>>722556154She's the biggest tsundere (can't think of a non weeb term) on earth. She's basically saying "it's not like i want to help you or anything" all the time while still helping. At the end of the game she might as well have a sign saying "any weak bugs in need of protection???"
>>722556292She still seems pretty detached thoughIn shirking off her godly role she brings about a cataclysmic event that kills probably hundreds of innocent bugs, and acts as though it's an annoyance to fixNot saying she doesn't care about them but she has the casual view of death that you'd expect of one so long lived
I got to Act 3 today on top of getting Twisted Child and the regular ending, plus a couple things a friend of mine guided me to, like Wisp Thicket and VoltnestHere is my updated tierlist. I swear I have real reasons for each of these; I am not shitposting or flame baiting
>>722557025She had no idea how the trap was gonna go (especially with Lace fucking things up), she was acting with the full intention of freeing Pharloom for the good of everyone and not just because she didn't wanna be the queen, and once she realized what she got herself into and even after learning the shamans hadn't told her the whole story she still took accountability and held herself responsible instead of just blaming it all on the shamans. Furthermore she goes on to reassure every bug she meets that she will unfuck everything, she doesn't seem detached to me at all.
>>722556002Oh, there is an area where you need clawline for that I thought was the spot the surgeon's key was in but there's just a choral commandment up there. I just forgot and missed the actual hidden area misremembering that the surgeon's key was up there
>>722557182>fat fuck fly chef above phantomI genuinely want to hear your reasoning for this
>>722557182>Second Sentinel in "FUCK YOU" tierThat's a first. Why the hate?
>>722545453Funny pic
>>722536336I'm tired boss
>>722557182>voltvyrm in best>the fucking fat flea above lace 2i feel like most of this is legitimate but there are some curveballs here to make people think "wtf" intentionally.
>>722543747The FUCKING CHEF
>>722557596>Captura de pantallaPero hermano why did you do the Seth quest antes de hacer los juegos? O you found Seth before getting to Pulgatopia?
>>722542338LMAOwhat a whore
>>722557661I beat the initial scores don't worry, I just need the memento now, but I'm at my limit of AWOOOOS for today
>>722549897I don't think they're unhappy. They seem chill.
>>722536336It's a crime that there's so much Yuri porn of this game but not enough shota sherma porn
>>722557654getting ass-slaped is part of the journey
Any lore people wanna explain why the fanbase called The Snails Shaman as Jews?
>>722546320It seems whoever wrote that had a typo and wrote pests instead of pets
anyone knows who they're talking about here? this is literally the first time Ive heard of those "masters"
>>722545449
Took me 27 hours but I beat act 3 with 67% completion, I'd say pretty good without a guide considering I'm retarded
>>722545515The 3rd and final protagonist will be the pale king in his new body
>>722545713could be
i wanna do unspeakable things to sherma
>>722557821Probably because they're weird cultists who the lore tablets reveal kill innocent pilgrims for spell components, and in Hallownest they were killed a lot.
>>722543747lost lace and its not even close. I mustve spent almost 6 hours on her ass. none of the other bosses took me more than 1
>>722557025>Not saying she doesn't care about them but she has the casual view of death that you'd expect of one so long livedI don't know how you come away with this take at all, she openly views the lives of the surviving bugs as precious and worth protecting, nothing about her in Act 3 gives off the impression of a bored immortal going through the motions.
>>722557890Unclear, either referring to pale beings or weavers, but the assumption is a mistaken one regardless.
>>722558118>I mustve spent almost 6 hours on her assfunny because that was karmelita for me, lace was as easy as 3 fights
>>722542734I like the story behind with the cancer kid fanart, but I really hate this character anyways
>>722544892Trobbio is good but the best fights by far are Widow and First Sinner
>>722557469Phantom kept getting me with her needle throw and I am an impatient idiot by nature. I don't like the instant parry she does either. Fat fly chef felt a lot easier to dodge to me, plus I was kept on my toes with that ass slam move and how fast it comes out. She's also much easier to hit and damage overall>>722557535I fought him in infested parasite state. I vaguely learned the hard way after an hour of pain how to bait his parry and how to fight him at all. Same deal with Lace 2 where the trick is to maintain spacing and hit ONLY 1 time to punish after their attacks. In addition, Second Sentinel immediately after High Halls gauntlet both instilled into me the need to actively use Clawline to reposition and attack safely. Even so I hate how he instant parries. I hate how he jumps and floats into me for contact damage before he does his fuckoff cross slash. I hate how annoying and unfun he is to fight. I hate how he keeps fucking me up whenever I want to pogo him. He is a cheap input-reading faggot and I will never like him.
>>722557623Voltwyrm is a nice fight you can still fuck up if you jump into the ceiling or get caught out with his attacks, but he's lenient in a way that is welcome to me. You can use your tools on him. He's easy to hit. His attacks look cool yet aren't cancerous. He doesn't have stupid amounts of health and the runback isn't that bad either. He's just a good fight for me>fucking fat flea above lace 2Fat Flea is where he is because I have no strong feelings one way or another on him. He was there then he was gone. Too simple and too bland for me to have much opinion on either. Just a shrug is all he's worthFor Lace 2 I will need to copypaste what I posted to my friend immediately after I beat her, as it is my clearest and immediate thoughts at the time
>>722557890all of the steel soul related characters in HK talk about masters too. presumably they are all talking about the same masters but we don't know who they are. i think they are not anyone we are directly familiar with.
>>7225576231) garbage enforced "dance" like Second Sentinel, but thankfully not as cancerous2) Lace's swipes grabbing and pulling you in front of her for no fucking reason is CANCER and makes her immune to being pogoed 90% of the time3) Lace's parry being a complete 50/50 coinflip between her forwards flurry or diagonal midair flurry is CANCER and effectively means you being hit by the counter or not is wholly random4) realization 1: literally nothing matters in this fight except dpad, attack button, and jump button, and sometimes the dash; no other powerup or ability or fancy trick is useless due to her swipes' stupid magnetism pulling you in as well as her very quick and little delay windups. I had to play this like the start of the game5) realization 2: when she does her disgusting upwards launcher, she decides the direction she goes in once she reaches the top, and once decided it cannot be changed so the trick is to simply walk in one way then walk the other way to juke her every time without fail6) realization 3: you can only hit her once, rarely twice depending on the attack. any further is genuinely impossible due to how she goes from one attack to the next with almost no delay.fight starts? 2 hither forward 2-3 swipes? just jump over and 1 hit from behindher diagonal launcher? don't be too close to her because the range on it is further than you think, jump slighly and 1 hit up while she is at the apex, then 1 hit her after she landsher forward impale? just jump over and 1 hit her from behindher forward impale x 2 or x 3? just avoid it entirely and don't bother hitting herher parry? good luck, but 1 hit her if she fails itshe evades out of range? don't bother chasing or dashing after her or you are guaranteed to be hit by her launchershe does phase change yell or something? 3-4 hitthat's all you need. just 1 hit after every action if possible until you win
>>722554093No he's right, she does want to save Lace in part because she still feels bad ablut little ghost. BUT,>>722547510>because Hornet's entire motivation in rescuing Lace is that she's not willing to give up another person to the void, like she did with the KnightThe thing is Hornet is just wrong about the Knight, she saw his broken vessel and assumed he died when really he just cast away his material form and became a pure abyssal entity. In other words, the Pale King won, but Hornet didn't know cause she didn't actually see the radiance fight.
>>722558531This is horse shit I just raped Lace 2 in less than a minute earlier this evening
>>722548174the godhome ending doesn't have the knight with the tentacles in its back either.
>>722558761I fought>High Halls gauntlet>Second Sentinel>Lace 2>GMSWith the parasite infestation state. Maybe that's what really affected my experiences with those 4 where every hit and every fuckup mattered
>>722558842>With the parasite infestation state.My man, props, but you are crazy.
>>722558531>>722558842well, you're essentially trying to no-hit bosses which COMPLETELY changes the dynamic of the battle. it's easier to detect bullshit that way but also it's not how you're ever gonna fight (or are supposed to) these bosses (except GMS).
>>722558531actual skill issue, embarrassing post
>>722558531lace 2 and lace 3 are trivially easy to no-hit and all theor attacks are well telegraphed and consostently dodgable with very little technical skill required. stop mashing and look at the screen
>>722558531people who say the game isnt hard are autistic pattern seekers. it's unfair to us normal people, it's ok bro
>>722559058sorry your mom didn't love you enough to take tylenol during her pregnancy to give you the gamer buffs
>>722559058He was playing cursed. Almost any boss is going to require you to memorize their patterns under those conditions.
>>722558878My friend pranked me by telling me where to take the baby and I fell right into the trap.>you are crazyI cannot change my experiences and observations of these fights where my only actions were>move>attack>jump>dash>clawlineAnd nothing else was possible. It forced me to see attacks and timings and spacing and more where I would have simply ignored them all otherwise>>722558967Maximum safety and minimum error were priority when I could not heal>>722558959Yeah I agree with you, but I had no choice in the matter. I'm just glad I pulled through>>722558967Where? Is me actively taking notes and observing a fight's mechanics to help me win a form of skill issue now? I don't get it>>722559002>well telegraphed>very little technical skill requiredI heavily beg to differ>stop mashing and look at the screenI did. It took forceful bending of my brain processing and impatient nature, but I did.>>722559058But I am an autistic pattern seeker and I say the game is hard?
>>722559241>Yeah I agree with you, but I had no choice in the matter. I'm just glad I pulled throughi can't fucking fathom beating the high halls gauntlet unless i was 8-9 masks 2 pale oil beefed up and had tried it 15 times, so good job.
DSP beat the High Halls gauntlet first try. Does this mean DSP is a better gamer than you, anon?
>>722559407I also beat it first try. Well, me and Shakra.
>>722559407Shit, I guess it does. Though I approached that fight pretty early
>>722559292I had Shakra there to help, I was at Hivesteel Needle (2 pale oil) with 8 masks. I think it took me about an hour as well. I learned the hell out of those waves. Maestros were the ones I got hit by the most until I realized that when the one I am attacking is doing the cogfly rotation move is when I need to Clawline to the other one to start hitting them, plus the Maestros cannot hit you if you are below them except with the rotation. Rapier guys were also my bane until I internalized their moves. Flying bell throwers were the primary target any wave they were in, plus easy Clawline targets. Actively using Clawline saved my ass time and time again in the gauntlet. Also Clawline was what got me to overcome GMS' horizontal needles because sometimes when I dashed through the back of the needle clipped me instead.>>722559407I genuinely cannot fathom first trying most things in this unless you watch a youtube video or use a guide detailing all the moves in advance. Maybe I'm too old for this shit
>>722559746Sometimes you just get lucky/in the zone. I've seen some people talk about having a hard time with first sinner, but I found her very intuitive and beat her first try. And I died to 4th chorus 3 or 4 times, so I'm pretty shit generally.
>>722547716Widow was jokingly easy for me.
>>722557182I think I missed that pink boss in the "Best" section. Any hit on where it is?
>>722560916yea i got one
>>722560916Sands of Karak. I'll just say you should be looking up.
>>722560916Go west and straight up from the Blasted Sands bellway and don't stop
>>722555521She was a bad girl She was naughty girl even A bad girl deserves a spanking And as hornet is mommy she's the one to provide punishment
>>722558415I think I beat Voltwyrm on my first try with no tools and it was so forgettable I cannot remember literally even a single attack. These kinds of bosses just make me feel disappointed.I think First Sinner is one of the few bosses I two-shotted but still found to be a satisfying fight.
>>722542734One of the best bossfights in the game, if you ask me. I liked how much you need to move around, and how he's constantly chasing you down, in addition to the arena not really having any walls. Makes it feels distinctly different than other fights where I tended to hang around near the wall most of the time to be able to dodge more easily, and also forced me to really git gud with the clawline to engage.
Remember his name
>>722543747Aside from the final boss I would say Nyleth, Broodmother, Last Judge, and of course special mention to Savage Fatfuck 1 and 2.
>>722561961I did learn his name in the game, but then I think I failed to noticed the funeral scene next time I was there after the attack so I never knew to attend it until I saw i on a stream. Feels bad...
>>722555521Silk is thread spun from Soul. Lace is a being spun entirely from Silk. She's not a bug. She's not unique, Phantom is another being spun from Soul, and the Wraiths in the Mist are imprints of will haunting Silk dregs. Void can corrupt Soul, like the Kingsoul turning into the Void Heart.Grand Mother Silk, the primordial source of Silk, continuously spun Silk threads in the abyssal sea to protect Lace, not herself. As the outer layers got corrupted they were replaced with new, inner layers.So presumably this is the same way with Lace. You're destroying the corrupted outer layers of her silken body to reveal the inner layer, which Hornet then takes to the surface. It doesn't work the same way with bugs like Garmond because the Void that corrupts them corrupts the life thread that all Pharloom-native bugs have in their body, because all bugs in Pharloom descend from ones that were experimented on to try and achieve immortality. So Hornet has no choice but to slay regular voided bugs.
>>722562154You can even see Lace's regular white silk under the outer void goop during her stagger animation.
>>722562064he might have moved
>>722543048Considering he didn't even die, I imagine we'll see him again in the DLC if we get any. But his voice lines in the 2nd fight annoyed me. Something about how it sounded like his VA wasn't even moving his mouth.
>>722545161Zote was the only non voided legitimate child between the pale king and the white lady, but a kingdom that would never die with a king that would never die doesn't need a prince, so he was neglected. Attempting to gain the public (and his father's love), he donned the the finest armor in the kingdom as the mighty hegemol and joined the five great knights. Everyone only saw the armor thoughbeit, and never praised and acknowledged HIM. He left the kingdom, feeling unloved, and grew to resent his very lineage, and so accepted a parasite to nerf himself. The pale king's feelings for the voided vessel partially stemmed from his own failure with zote.
>>722562397I don't remember ever seeing him on the Pilgrim's Rest stop afterwards (which is where he apparently moves to), but maybe I'll just believe that's what happened anon.
>>722562432Nice fanfic about yourself, Zote
>>722548165TC should give us a way to mercy kill him in Act 2
>>722563021Or let hornet pretend she's the bug he was waiting for
>>722538796
>>722544724Same way how in the original hollow knight they never put those big armadillo guys you have to shoot with vengeful spirit in your way after you get into greenpath. They needed to make sure you had the ability before you could progress further somehow.
Insert rosaries?
I've been shitposting for too long. I couldn't even remember what widow does anymore. I gonna have to do a couple more run before attempting steelsoul again
>>722542338never stop, hero
>>722543747I'm making my way through act 3, but for now it was definitely the floor is lava beastfly encounter. I did it pretty much as soon as it was available, without max nail upgrades, coglfies, double jump, or even clawline.
>>722536336MADE FOR BED BREAKING SEX WITH HORNET.
>>722561961I'm PRETTY SURE I got his name, but when he died and I attended the funeral, Hornet didn't speak up. Was I supposed to press a button there or something?
>>722558819The hall of gods does.
I don't get it
What would be her class type ?
>>722565262>female nameSherma is a female name because it starts with "She"? What kind of logic is this? Is Sheldon a female name as well?
>>722565778Yes.
>>722565262Sasha and Andrea are male names you know?
>>722565778NTA, but because it ends with an "a". Common thing in my country. Dunno about that anon though. But I think it's not uncommon in many European cultures.
>>722565846They aren't. If you REALLY want to argue then they are unisex at most but have been predominantly used as female names for a long time.Anyways, you can debate the name all you want with fringe examples even if it's disingenuous because Sherma clearly follows female naming conventions, the fact remains the character has a female voice.
>>722565334Hunter, the same as her crest.
>>722566271>the fact remains the character has a female voice.Do you know how many male teenage characters in cartoons and anime are voiced over by females?
>>722536336While this was mildly cute in the game, posting like this is peak reddit.
>>722565778
What was his problem?
>>722566873gay
Does the clockwork knight make an appearance in act 3? I think one of the pilgrims at the first shrine said something about a knight roaming the citadel, protecting the citadel from void spawns. But I'm not sure who he was talking about.
>>722566873He challenged Hornet to a deathmatch.
>>722566980Yeah, Second Sentinel can still be found around the Choral Chambers, chopping down haunted/voided bugs.
>>722566873>Hornet finds a gay guy mourning his dead husband>kills him and rips out his heartWhat the fuck did Team Cherry mean by this?
>>722567031Just as a random encounter? No events tied to it this time?
>>722555521>meets green prince repeatedly throughout her journey>witnesses lost kingdom and doomed romance>describes verdania's animals and warriors with respect>journal note for clover dancers is just "I wonder if loving someone who's almost identical to you is vain">uses his heart as a shelf filler, even if you got all 4 before doing red memoryShe did not have to disrespect him like that.
>>722567045not like he had anything else going for him.his family is gone, his lover is gone, his home and country and gone.
>>722567224nothing interesting
>>722567224He can sometimes stand in the room left of the Grand Bellway room, past the tall corridor, where he'll talk to Hornet before resuming his patrol.
>>722567224Just play the damn game bro jesus.
>>722567294The quote is>For one to love another so similar to themselves, is that selfless or vain?It's interesting that people focus only on the "vain" part and not the "selfess" part of Hornet's musing.>>722564890There's a rollback function for your old saves that you can use to go back and practice bosses.
>>722567580that's because we all know deep down that faggots are vain, self absorbed monsters so we don't need to ponder the selfless part.
>>722567580She's still rude and canonically considers his heart her preferred choice. You'd think someone who's lost lovers before would be a little more considerate.
>>722567817Why would she? Green prince has given into despair and refuses to lift a finger to help anyone else which is absolutely not something Hornet would do or agree with given the extreme lengths she goes to to help the citizens of Pharloom despite her own loses in the past.
>>722567714>>722567817What I mean by it being interesting is that why does she even consider that he might be selfless? What aspect of that type of "love" could be viewed as selfless?Her seeing him as vain is pretty self explanatory.
>>722559292The gauntlet isn't that hard. I did it third try while I was doing achievements, using a Shining Needle. No backup, no extra masks, no added spools, on Hunter using Silkspear because it's default. Granted I did get wings beforehand and shut down the Clawmaiden factory.
How the fuck do you get to this part of Whiteward?
>>722543747This fucking piece of shit by a long shot.
>>722557890It is talking about you (you)
>>722568569Nevermind I found it literally right after I made my post.
>>722568569Requires an Act 3 ability. There's nothing there but a relic to be sold, though it's unsettling as hell.
>Get to Act 2>Still not really enjoying the gameIf I could get a refund, I would.Maybe I'll look into mods before I uninstall the game. Any recommendations?
The Mist -> Phantom is my favorite version of a Lost Woods sequence ever.There are problems with the game but atmosphere is not one of them
>>722568637You can get there with double jump + clawline but it's pretty precise
>>722568783I like how the Banshees are Phantom's Shadow Clones
>>722557803man I suck at this, I only get trobbio, 4th chorus, lugoli, karmelita, (maybe) pinstress
>>722568970I don't really see it.
>>722569035You don't see the exact same head shape?
>>722566156is Jerma a woman
>>722566156>because it ends with an "a"There's a shitload of dudes in vidya whose name ends with an "a."
>>722568735I loved randomizer in HK but Pharloom is way too big and has way too many secrets for a good rando experience. Maybe wait for a mod that ports Hornet to Hallownest and the Knight to Pharloom.
>>722566156>start thinking of male names ending with "a" or "ah">they're often jewishplease don't make me noootice things i don't want to go down that rabbithole
>>722569076No, it's a little different.
>>722568735That was me with Hollow Knight but I've loved most of Silksong.
>>722569269I'm glad people are enjoying it, I'm just not finding it very fun.It's not too hard, I just don't really like the movement, or the world, or the characters or the story, where I enjoyed all of those things in HK.
can someone explain to me what is "fun" about this sinister, extreme style of platforming? the vertical section in Bilewater is a joke. youre never gonna know whats in front of you until you die a few times. but the runbacks every time you die to spikes. the runbaaaaacks. holy fucking shit. im a hardcore gamer. I've beaten every soulslike there is, I am good & experienced at games, I can figure out boss fights fast. I don't have time for this shit. I can learn it, sure, but I'm not gonna waste time on this trolling, self-indulgent nonsense by Team Cherry. They are asking me to cheat. I'm gonna fly my way up through Bilewater. This game demands you play your own way. I feel so, so sorry for consolefags who are forced to put up with this shit. But you're gonna say I'm bad, to justify the time you wasted. So much precious time. And you're gonna claim you play on PC but I know that you're on Switch, so youre forced to enure the sick platforming design, youre forced to do a trillion runbacks, getting bent over by Nintendo stuck on platforming sections from dawn to dusk, and then you pat yourself on the back because you finally made it after 9 hours, like an abused wife sucking her abusers cock. Congratulations on your fucking achievements lmao
>>722569342Unironically the opposite of how I felt for Hollow Knight. I hated the movement for HK and the gameplay for really boring for the majority of the game with really simple enemies.
>>722569546>I feel so, so sorry for consolefags who are forced to put up with this shitThere's mods for the Switch version now too.I just saw them on Nexus Mods.
>>722569594I liked the simplicity of Hollow Knight.Silksong just feels unfun to me.
>>722569620I guess that proves my point that the platforming is intolerable even for switchfags. Are sonyfags out of luck?
>>722570403>I guess that proves my pointYou had a point? I didn't see it anywhere in your post.
>>722569546is this a shit post?>I've beaten every soulslike there is, I am good & experienced at gamesplay more platformers lmaothe main vertical shaft of Bilewater is pretty straightforwardif you're this unfamiliar with platformers, then even something like New Super Mario Bros U will kick your ass to kingdom comeand in that game you don't get 10 masks, you only get 2 hits before you die and restart the level
>>722570606My point was that no game should ever have this level of platforming design
>>722570691>My point was that no game should ever have this level of platforming designWhy not? Be specific with your reasoning.
>>722568735Mods can't really fix this game. The pacing is fundamentally fucked because of how big it is and how little there is to find between long stretches of half-empty rooms.
>>722563021If anyone needed a mercy kill option it was this guy. There are several good arguments to be made for not letting him live.
>>722570925I think I agree, but I figure they can make it a little more bearable. Like I said, I can't get a refund now, so I may as well try anything to enjoy it before I uninstall and play HK again.>Violin doesn't use silk>Tools don't use shards (but have charges per bench)>Remove Hornet's needless dialogue (all of it)Those would be my ideal 3 mods, but so far only 2 of them exist.
>>722571286>Remove Hornet's needless dialogue (all of it)She barely has dialog. Out of all things I could understand disliking but that point is bizarre.
>>722571461I've played over 30 hours of the game and she hasn't said a single thing worth reading. NPC's are worse to talk to, because Hornet always has something useless to say to waste my time.The game would be better if she was silent, that's all.
Flea juggling is breaking me, bros...
>>722571596It's a bit hyperbolic to say her two sentences whenever she has something to say are a waste of time but w/e.
>>722571730Make sure you have the long reach charm equipped and good luck. It's the hardest out of the flea minigames but you'll get it.
You can really feel the moment in Act 3 when the developers stopped having fun. I shudder to think how many hours were wasted on reskinning voided AIDs variants of every single enemy and background, all for what is ultimately a gimmick that adds no depth, interest, or reward to the world.
>>722543747Honestly, Lace 2 (though High Halls Gauntlet took me about the same time I think)That was the point where I finally had to stop being shit and learn the game. Up till then, I kinda just kept barely making it through stuff. Lace 2 was the first one that forced me to learn every bit of it. Up till then, I had gotten by on just plowing through with Reaper Crest and spamming healing.
>>722571943charms aren't active during the minigames
>>722572105Act 3 is the excuse to repackage the insane amount of cut content into single boss gauntlet dream fights
>>722571758They literally are a waste of time.Why do you think that's hyperbolic?
>>722572258You're right. I also think the "voided" world was originally conceived as a NG+ mode.
>>722571596I agree, but nearly all the writing in this game suffers from this same issue of redundancy. The NPCs largely just tell us things we already know in different ways. The visual storytelling mogs the writing disgustingly very much I'm thinking.
>>722567486Don't reply to me or my posts ever again.
>>722572473>I agree, but nearly all the writing in this game suffers from this same issue of redundancy.And the worst culprit is Hornet.30 hours of gameplay and she's said literally nothing useful. So why include it?It's just a waste of time.
>>722548525>all endings are canonwhy do motherfuckers always misinterpret this as meaning "all endings happen at the same time" instead of "There is no strictly true ending just different possible outcomes".
>>722571239Why? He's enjoying it.
>>722572538How are you ?
>>722572641I think he did at the start but I'm not sure he is anymore. Not sure he's even in there anymore.
>>722572473There are interesting well written NPC interactions in the game like the tyrant attack / pilgrim funeral, flea festival, shakra quest, zanzibo quest... but most of the rest don't rlly go anywhere or are dogshit
>>722572614You're wrong anyway. only embrace the void is canon
>>722572867>only embrace the void is canonproof?
>>722572473>Suffer through the dogshit, copypasted platforming above the Cradle >See Mister Mushroom's sporecloud >Surely the reward will be some juicy Deeplore>He says "Me? Certainly you can ask, but I cannot provide good answer. I've no mind for outcomes. Always my vision is too clouded by the present.Only the journey... the now. For myself, that is the purpose, and as far as my sight can see.If any other could come to understand that state, Wyrm child, I suspect it may be you..."Such bullshit lmao. It's like they couldn't think of a single interesting thing to say.
>>722572904this >>722546942
>>722573182Proves nothing; Concession accepted.
>>722546520?
>>722572376They serve a purpose because Hornet is a person with agency she's not a soulless husk like Ghost.
Act 3 fanservice was a mistake... bring back Coral Forest team cherry
>>722573336>They have purpose because t-they just DO OKAY???No, they don't.
>>722573360Citadel destroyed it
>>722573483Hornet expresses her desires because she's a person. Ghost doesn't talk not because he's a self insert but because he's a soulless vessel.
>>722573585>Hornet expresses her desires because she's a personNow show a single instance where it improved the game to listen to her.I'll wait.
>>722573682diffict to do since she's a bossy shrill bitch the whole freakin game. whore too
>>722573682https://youtu.be/spDpehGfcKU
>>722573682Every interaction where she's annoyed by the person she's talking to
>>722573861>>722573821No exampleskek>>722573854She said absolutely nothing of worth here.If you just ignored her text and read only what the NPC says, you'd still be exactly as knowledgable as if you'd read her text. It adds literally nothing.
>>722573682Her exchanges with Lass are plenty meaningful.
>>722574041In what way? Be specific.
>>722573821How about you actually play the game.
>>722574041This is, as Lace acknowledges, an inane platitude. I'm not the anon raging about having a written MC without dialogue options but I largely agree with him. Silksong's visuals and music are both best-in-class. Because of this, its middling beige prose stands out more than it would in a worse game. I thought Hollow Knight was pretty well-written, but Silksong often reads like fan fiction. So many more words, but nearly all of them are completely hollow.
>>722573953You haven't given a specific example of bad dialogue.
>>722548540Did he really?
>>722574250No one's asked me to. And it was never my claim that it was bad, only that it adds nothing to the game, other than a small time-sink.
>>722574158Sexual
>>722548540He's right.
>>722548691>tranny fanbasethis describes literally any and every streamer who isn't explicitly chuddish
>>722574202>So many more words, but nearly all of them are completely hollow.I dunno they seem fine to me. It's like getting mad at SotN for Alucard having dialog sometimes and it's not even a dialog heavy game.>>722574158Her having pity for Lace when she's expressing despair for not being a real bug. It's also interesting for Hornet to actually vocalize why she decides to actually stay in Pharloom and her motivation to save it.
>>722574475>Her having pity for Lace when she's expressing despair for not being a real bug. It's also interesting for Hornet to actually vocalize why she decides to actually stay in Pharloom and her motivation to save it.You have not explained why that's meaningful or not.
>Reeee I'm an autista that doesn't know feelings explains those to meNo
>>722574520It's meaningful for a character to express their desires, motivations, and to see them interact especially when they're not meant to be a Soulsborn self insert or a character who doesn't talk.
"NAOO!"I felt that when she said that.
>>722574520You're mostly just coming across as autistic
>>722574475The writing is somewhat cringe tbf but the terrible main plot doesn't do it any favors
>>722574615>GaramaBrave and Powerful. Kinda racist tho.
>>722574602>>722574629>"It's meaningful!">Gives no reasons why, again:/
>>722574615Ya, this noise and her first "fvren" binding sound in Moss Grotto are the best lines in game. Alot of the shit she says to NPCs is fucking embarrassing. All the ladies in this game refer to the other as child.
>>722574721I gave my reasons. What kind of answer are you asking for?
>>722574770>I gave my reasonsWhat were they? I didn't see them. Can you quote them?I just saw you insisting that they were meaningful again, but you gave no reasons as to why.
>>722536336Looks female and sounds female, therefore it's female.
Lace is the biggest problem with the game narratively. They really expect me to care about a spoiled eternal child?
>>722574828>I just saw you insisting that they were meaningful again, but you gave no reasons as to why.Hornet's desires and interactions with the other characters. What about that isn't meaningful?
>>722574880Agree. Phantom is so much more interesting and deep despite having nil dialogue. If Hornet can kill Lace TWICE without her fucking dying, then surely Phantom can survive a little parry and pounding too ?
>>722574989>What about that isn't meaningful?You still haven't said why they are meaningful, and I've asked you 3 times in a row now.I'm starting to think you can't answer me...
>>722574880You're just gay. I care about Lace because she's sexy and bratty with an even sexier and brattier voice.
>>722536812he's Grandma's special boy
Green Prince's story line is so obviously retarded and half-baked it's insane. TC needs a writer
>>722574880Now THIS is an actual criticism of the game. It's dumbfounding too because I think Siksong has better characters than HK, but Lace is just a brat.
>>722575006Basically every weaver we come across is far more interesting than Lace. But i think Sherma is the biggest star of the cast and one of a few characters i would put in the same tier as the original HK characters.>>722575060I have absolutely no attraction towards bugs. I judge them as characters and unfortunately only the mentally ill yuritrannies like her.
>>722575054I answered you and you just say I'm not answering you. Okay you win you message board trolled me.
I think I'm on the final boss of act 2 (just beat lace 2, onto this other one). Is it worth finishing?? I had to put the game down for a while because I was in Europe to see a friend, so I'm considering just restarting.
>>722575132>and unfortunately only the mentally ill yuritrannies like her.Well, you're wrong.
>>722575143>I answered you and you just say I'm not answering you.You still haven't asnwered me. You still havent' said *why* it's meaningful, you're just insisting that it is meaningful, with no reasons given.If you want to lose, that's fine. But you literally never once answered my question.
>>722574520ah, pilpul my old friend'tis rare to see you outside of flag boards these days
>>722575230Why would you need to restart? That's retarded.
>>722575230You're probably like halfway through the game but I'd need to see your map. You can go up to the cradle if you want, it's not a point of no return.
>>722558252Same, the story is nice but the character sucks and his boss fight is even worse.
>>722575303define "meaningful" mr talmud
>>722575308?>>722575414Has greater meaning.
>>722575303>>722575054>>722574828Sophistry and Proof by Assertion; this poster can be summarily ignored.
>>722546403Lace is essentially the Verso of this game. She’s tired of it all and just wants to get rid of her mom and end it all
>>722575365>why would you restartjust for the fun of it I guess, could be fun to run through everything and be much better than when I initially played it>>722575376damn only half way through? I feel like I have cleared most of the act 2 areas, but there's so much in this game
>>722575538>just for the fun of it I guessFinish the game first, then do a new run.
>>722575060The game basically goes like that, gays and thirdworlders that hate women prefer the first one because it has the gay bromance with Quirrel and father/son bonds instead of mother/daughter, normal people and bratlover coomers prefer Silksong.
>>722575538>damn only half way through? I feel like I have cleared most of the act 2 areas, but there's so much in this gameThat's why I said I'd need to see your map first, but generally speaking people tend to be about halfway through the game when they first reach the Cradle.
>>722543806You're silk supreme!
>>722575473Ok then >>722574041 has greater meaning because it alludes to the way hornet feels about the knight from the first game, who was similarly an empty artificial creation. Lace derides it as a platitude because she has no frame of reference - she literally doesn't even know the knight exists or why that statement would carry weight with Hornet.This is very, very basic stuff. Are you sure you're a native english speaker?
>>722544503NEVER trust a snail!
>>722575656Thanks for finally doing it. That's all I wanted you to do, was validate your claim.Don't know why you didn't do this sooner, instead you called me the winner and cried a lot.
>>722575746Why even post this shit?
>>722575863Because you lied about proving your claims to be true, and I wanted to read what your claims were.Getting you to post evidence for your claims was like pulling teeth. You made it way harder than it needed to be.
>>722575647do you want a zoomed out look? or how would you prefer it
I quit the game 2 weeks ago, before getting the 3 songs I had left. I went to explore to the zone where you hit the flowers and trees grow and you have to platform through it. I fucking hate and I suck at platformers. I couldnt take it anymore. I dont have any problem with anything else, but the damn platforming sections.Does it get worse in late act2 or act3? That one gauntlet with flying bugs and lava rising in the far fields was also bullshit.
>>722575962You are autistic, low IQ, or ESL.
>>722544503>Snail in Armored core 6>Snails in SilksongDo the developers know something we don't?
>>722576128Why are you so upset?If you posted evidence to support your claims sooner, you might have won. But instead, you delcared me the winner and cried about it.It's not my fault you acted this way.
>>722576102Zoomed out is fine.

>>722576214
>>722576128No, you're autistic, low IQ or ESL because you let this retard bait you hook, line, and sinker.
>>722576305Oh yeah, you're like halfway through the game.

>>722574880So was Hornet in the first game. They're thematic counters.
