Silksong is a great game, isn't it?
>>722722174Still haven't played it. I have gamepass and everything, I just don't have any motivation. I'm sure it's a good game and all, but after years of it being just a meme I just can't find it in me to give a single shit about it existing.
>>722722174 It has the balls to be hard in an industry that cries when it doesn’t win.
I love it more than Hollow Knight but there are things that disappointed me.>no Colosseum of Fools>no Path of Pain>OST isn't as memorable>map is a bit too big and kind of a pain to traverse, especially once you're in Act 3>pacing feels a bit offOtherwise it's my favorite game of the year and it doesn't even come close.
what was xher problem
>>722722495>OST isn't as memorable*blocks your eardrums*https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq8wGcWeXwghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hM_Hp37By0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj_0KoleZiUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkNbFtCd_DA
>>722722475I don't think TC wanted it specifically to be uber omega hard, it's just designed for people who are used to endgame Hollow Knight.
>No fully fleshed out coral area above Sands of KarakSEVEN YEARS
>>722722475The game is not -that- hard. I suck at videogames and even the hardest bosses like Karamelita and Lost Lace took me like 10 tries maximum. Credit where it's due however, SS is not a "fake" hard game, where the game flashes a bunch of fancy attacks that are not that mechanically complex to engage, and instead, you have to play close attention to attack cues, opportunities, and use your toolset to get the most out of openings.
>>722723090
>>722722495How long did it take Hollow Knight from release to add all that DLC? Never know
>>722722818I'm 99% sure they decided to move all of these to DLCs. I think they mentioned something like having very ambitious plans for silksong DLC that might take a while, which could potentially mean flashbacks in each area from when they were in their prime, similar to Verdania.
>>722723172Grim Troupe came out in October of the same year HK was released.
>>722722634The only ones that I really noticed were Bilewater and Cogwork Core honestly. Everything else just didn't make an impression. >>722722495Silksong does have some serious issues.>Lace's character fucking sucks, with objectively terrible writing>The game is so big it starts to spread thin by the endgame>Act 3 was dogshit, outside of the mandatory bossfights>The descent into the abyss is cool -and it's over just as fast as it started. >You can apparently beat Act 2 without the double jump, which is fucking retarded because there's little to no reason to return to the slab. And honestly I even forgot to check beyond the bell station simply because I forgot the rings were even there. >Despite having so many bosses, a lot of them are boring or trash, and that don't justify being so like Moss Mother or Skull tyrant, which are obviously meant to be simple early bosses>Silk Soar doesn't open up the map more for more exploration>The Needolin Time Travel mechanic is used ONCE outside of the main quest>Orange trinkets sucks outside of the 3 good ones
not good enough. they should add picrel feature in the next dlc. something like "remember to use your tools and clawline". the game needed a qol like this badly
>>722722634While *technically* well made, this music just isn't very memorable or catchy - it lacks personality.You won't be randomly humming any Silksong tunes in the shower like you would with Metroid or Castlevania songs.
>>722724002I have found myself humming Silksong music in the shower
>>722723949>game has 0 advertisement>casuals still flock to itstay with AAAs please
HUH?????????????
https://youtu.be/pPYM05Bcp84It's up
>>722722634Not a single one of those holds up to Pale Court.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCYP9L2FfQg&list=RDLCYP9L2FfQg
>>722722525She knew the pale king plan was gonna fail so she set quirrel up to help kill her in the future
>>722722174there was always a short cut to the top after you've made it once, people are retarded.
>>722723409
>>722724563Nah, she and Quirrel were romantically involved, and she wanted him to leave Hollownest to avoid the infection. That's my headcanon anyways.
Of all the dreamers only Lurien wanted to keep going with pk's plan despite the fact it obviously failed. why was she so loyal?
>>722722475It's not that fucking hard though, maybe I've gotten better since HK but even though the average difficulty of Silksong is higher the highs don't match anything close to the arena, white palace or radiance fight in fact I thought the final boss in Silksong was a letdown. Even the ant bitch wasn't that bad, yeah she took me a while but compared to something like the last boss in 9 Sols it wasn't bad at all. I think it's just too hard for normalfags who got meme'd into playing it because of the hype, it's a lot harder than the average metroidvania but anyone who plays Soulslikes regularly should be fine. Outside of Bilewater the difficulty felt very "aww I fucked up, that was on me" as opposed to being frustrating and annoying.
>>722724860>the final boss in Silksong was a letdownYou didn't beat the game.
>>722722305And yet you enter threads about it? Anyways give it a try sometime then. It's a fun game. >>722722495I'm hoping the DLC fleshes out some of the missing stuff.
>>722724002Bilewater theme lives rent free in my head.
>>722722634The OSt for this game is so weird. Felt fucking nothing for any of the songs besides Trobbiohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFzD14yCxPwwhile playing but I realized how good the general OST was once I listened to some o the music on it's own and while watching some other people play the game.I wonder if there's just too much going on in the game to really pay attention while you're actively playing it?
I would not be able to hum a single one of Silksong's tunes if you named a level and asked me to. Meanwhile I can remember every single song from Hollow Knight. The only thing I really remember about Silksong's OST is its reliance on the Dies Irae motif.
If you don't love lace you didn't beat the game
>>722725104It's kind of like that with dark souls games for me. I'm in the zone in boss fights so I don't really appreciate the music until after the fact
First ending unlocked. What should I do now? Start a new run from scratch? I guess I can also get the parasite ending with this save.
>>722725237Get as many tools, upgrades and wishes as you can.Get the Parasite ending, and then start Act 3.
>>722725112The OST was really good, I think the mixing was just too muted and understated relative to the ambient noise
EIRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>722725919
Hornet was grunting too much. there should be a tool (yellow if possible) to put a gag on her so I can appreciate the ost
>>722725237You literally did not beat the game.
Hornet probably makes a lot of noise while breeding too
NaoNAO
>>722726098I never thought of Hornet as cute until she said this line.
ez game and very fun fight
>>722726067I literally saw the credits roll. Now answer the question
I have given up.Tried to start it earlier and it kept giving me an error, reinstalled it and it would crash immediately. Went in to the install folder and got the game running but with no save file. Everything was gone and I don't know why.
>>722726182Eat your vegetables and finish your sidequests.
>>722722634I cant remember a single song from the original except maybe Green path. I had Bilewater theme playing in my head while not even being in Bilewater, its somehow so perfect.
SFX in this game are just really loud. Turn them down a bit and the music up a bit and you'll realize what a banger the music is.
>>722726030There is quite literally a mute Hornet option in settings
>>722722495>OST isn't as memorablePeople keep saying this but I like the music a lothttps://youtu.be/zRs58D34OLY?si=G2SZrmchInn9ddyQ
>>722726296I can remember the Fungal Wastes theme still, it was pretty distinct. Crystal Peak's theme was pretty memorable too, but yeah Silksong's OST is in no way worse and is often better
I bet a lot of you were simply younger and in your most impressionable days when HK came out. I was already old back then and it didn't strike me as that amazing. Silksong improved the HK formula in basically every regard.Also, fuck Quirrel, that annoying wannabe samurai.
>>722722174Maybe put less gauntlets next time. I know we need to pad the game time to make people think the game is longer than it is, but lets make it less obvious next time.
>>722726098Yeh nara.
>>722726549I'm 35 and Silksong is an improvement in every way over the first game, I really liked Hollow Knight but it always felt like it was kind of missing a core focus which is more present in Silksong
>>722722174I enjoyed it for a while, I love the boss fights but 99% of the game being a metroniva is a SLOG
>>722726623Huh, I just remembered that you only fight this guy AFTER killing Karmelita. And he specifically lures you in and knows you're coming.Interesting.
>>72272217480% of the game is arena fights I honestly don't know what I expected, just the same locked room waves of enemies arena fights no cool or clever gimmicks
Here it is-- the worst enemy in the game.
>>722726828>80% of the game is arena fightsLiterally what?
>>722726909he meant 80% of his game time until he ragequit
>>722726828I suffer from hyperbole fatigue
>>722725237Get the true ending, obviously.
>>722723090People bitching haven't bothered to unlock new tools or upgrade silk, honestly extra silk + beast crest + longer binding makes the game way easier
>>722726786This guy is like those skyrim bandits who see you kill a dragon and decide you're the guy they want to mug today.
>>722726904>a lever that does nothing but permanently fill the entire area with annoying enemies after being flippedWhy is team cherry like this?
>>722727147Do you want to 100% the Hunter's Journal or not?
>>722727271No, thanks. I don't want to beat the game.
>>722727429Shame. Nuu will be disappointed.
>>722726904Your own fault for letting them out, and Hornet agrees.
>>722727460
Is there an impactful difference in the size of Ghost and Hornet's hurtboxes?
This art convinced me Hollow Knight shouldn't get their own game
>>722727605nuu nununu nuuuuu nunu nuuuu moola nuuuu
TROBIO!
>>722728019I was expecting a misunderstanding that would end in a fight.
>>722728187>Needolin only has four spots where you can enter someone's memoriesI guarantee there's going to be a Distant Memories DLC or some shit with Shakra's Master as a boss.
>got architect crest>suddenly find myself completely unable to pogodamn it, I actually like this crest otherwise
>>722728245Do note that you can charge your pogo, which will pause Hornet in the air for the amount of time you charge it for.
>>722728245You can mod it
>>722726098>NAOOOOO. NAOOOOoOoo, It's one of the best line you'll ever say out loud, Nao. make sure that tongue rattles the O and then finish off with that nice bassline, taper.>I'll say one more time just cuz I love it >NAOOOOOOOOO>N-N-NA-N-NA-NA-NAO-NA-NAO-N-NA-NAOOoo>NAOoOoOOOOoooOooo

>>722722174Im playing the first game
>>722728821Why?
>>722727605Now that I know that Nuu is a child and a girl I feel this was a bit uncalled for
>>722728850I wanted to give it a try
>>722724525>None of these tracks that are in Silksong hold up to a track that isn't in Hollow KnightHuh?
>>722722305I felt the same way after waiting so long, but once i started and got farther and farther in I got hooked, exploring is funalso reminds me of mega man desu, love the movement
>>722729136Are you enjoying it?
silksong is a fun game, but it's missing something from hk t b h. maybe it's just me but i don't give a fuck about what's happening here narratively speaking. there are barely any memorable characters aside from hornet herself.
>>722722305Nobody cares that you have goypass, retard.
Zanziboooooo....forgive me....
>>722729942>but it's missing something from hk t b h.Sovl
>>722725145I pogo bosses for she
>>722729942you don't like sherma? or seth or zanzibart? maybe the guy that died and you didn't even get to know his game?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgLKX-QV6uI
>>722722174>1st try beastfly, cogwork dancers, last judge and all gauntletsThis game is so much easier on a second playthrough it's insane.Grabbing Wanderer asap also helped.
>>722729942Not enough character interactions and dynamic setpieces. I got pretty happy whenever I saw Shakra's rings in the environment or heard her singing, and I liked seeing Sherma make it to the "top" but that's pretty much it. Even after the pilgrim village in bone bottom was destroyed, I reacted pretty much like pic related. Even Lace feels like she needs at least twice as much dialogue and events (yeah I'm including all the specific spots you can find her too).
>>722730406When I replayed Nine Sols there were several bosses I went through first try that took me hours on my first playthrough. It was kind of surreal.
>>722729942 Hallow Nest felt more dire. The “stakes” of Hollow Knight are more…Twilight Princess. Meanwhile Silksong is more…Wind Waker in tone.
>>722730023 We’ve come full circle.
>>722730518I think you've got it backwards. Hollow Knight and Windwaker both show a kingdom that has been completely destroyed and what little survivors remain are in small enclaves or looting the pieces. The only future there is a sliver of hope debated amongst the parties who lead to its destruction. Twilight Princess and Silksong are about a kingdom on the brink of cataclysm, as long buried darkness bursts forth to the surface and demands its due. Communities are certainly not flourishing, but there are areas of near normalcy. There are people to meet and care about beyond small pockets of survivors or fellow looters. There's something to protect.
>>722730518>>722730854I think the Black Egg Temple being right next to Dirtmouth (for some reason) helped add to the stakes.
>>722731112>the only female fleaWokeslop
Silksong is a great ga-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JArSN5_PWac
>>722730441There should have been more NPC interactions for sure. World def felt more alive than hk but it's weird there were so few cool moments with the castWhat's in the game is good though besides one in particular
>>722731515Nothing wrong with it.
>>722731515me.
>>722731112Worst NPC for no other reason than you have to pay her to save the fleas.
At first I thought that SS needed more travelling NPCs like Quirrel and Cloth who move around the map, but thinking on it there are already quite a few.>Shakra>Sherma>Garmond & Zaza>Fleas>Grindle>Green Prince>Ballow>2nd Sentinel (kinda)>Pilby (kinda)>Pinstress (kinda)>GilleyPilby needs to progress his journey (maybe he takes a wrong turn and ends up in Bilewater) and Gilley needs some closure to her storyline and I think they would have a good mix.
>>722725145Lace was a cunt and Act 3 just sorta proves that.She's a pretty boring character for what is supposed to be hornet's equivalent of Hornet to Ghost.
>>722731232I still jerk off to the lord of shades x gms pic this guy did.
>>722732375... link?

>>722732302
I just beat the Widow boss in Bellhart and got my first needle upgrade. She was by far the coolest boss so far!I'm fairly certain that I'm approaching the end of Act 1 because I can see on the map that the blasted steps lead to the main quest marker.Currently trying to finish things up, I found 3 crests already, did most sidequests and got my first mask upgrade. So far I think it's pretty ok difficulty wise. The giant beastfly was the worst so far but mostly because of the long runback and my brain just can't handle adds in bossfights. The normal 1v1 fights where I can just learn a pattern are just a matter of time until I figure them out. The platforming has been very fun so far, I don't get what the issue about the pogo is. But then again I'm using a hori GC controller and it has these notches down there so I suppose my hardware incidentally helps me lock into the perfect angle? IDK, everything feels responsive and snappy and when I fumble a jump I never feel like it's the game's fault.I'm curious in how bad the judge will be. I only heard about him and don't even know what he looks like or what the fight is like but it's supposed to be the big noob filter.
They should add a bloody palace mode, I want to see a gauntlet that makes High Halls look like a moss grub arena. Imagine the possibilities>room filled with 5 flintflame flyers>spikefloor air pogo room>double savage beastfly in lava
>>722732810Nuu's Gauntlet - it's one of every non-boss enemy in the Hunter's Journal.
>>722726351My problem is that I can't hear music in boss fights because I'm focusing on the fight itself. Like after a fight I couldn't tell you a single thing about the score because my mind was purely in the mechanics.So I can only really judge the calmer background music and Hollow Knight takes the cake here. Silksong's BGM sounds almost generic while HK has absolutely timeless tracks likehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC3Dd3eqZy8
>>722732750Glad you're having fun! If you liked Widow you should be just fine with Judge.
When I finished Ori, HK or Nine Sols I got a sense of accomplishment.Too bad I didn't get anything from beating Lost Lace. I watched the shitty ending and I felt nothing. Silksong is a good game but HK for me was still feel special.
>>722726149TROBBBIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo
>he didn't söyjak at the ending
>>722731515How I beat it:1. Hide under rock2. Wait until it spits3. Jump and throw boomerand the opposite way4. repeat from 1
>>722726549>I bet a lot of you were simply younger>when a game released 7 and a half years agoNah I live in a time paradox, I'm younger today than I was 7 years ago.
Why is Hornet so weak compared to little ghost?
>>722727715Hollow Knight was my favourite design in Hollow Knight. Specifically how sharp and angular his limbs are compared to Ghost.If the Void ending is canon then he's free from the infection so would have been of sound mind and not attacked Hornet during the ending, he's out there and ripe for a game in the future. He could Berserk/DMC5 it up with an artificial arm too.
Is there a use case for the non-weaver silkshots for Forge and Architect? Or is the weaver one simply the best?
>>722730023>no way to prevent or cure thisAct 3 really is just "You fucking dickhead look what you did: The Movie" huh?
Just beat Lost Lace and 100%'d it and yeah it's a really good game. Anyone who whined about difficulty should just try using wanderer instead of reaper.The platforming challenges made me really feel like playing some platformer stuff. Can't wait to see what this game's equivalent to path of pain will be.
>>722731112>muscular female with a simple, primitive speech pattern and a member of the species hornet herself admits to loving the fluffiness ofWhere's the fucking yuri? All I see is Hornet with Shakra and Lace but not this prime cuddleslut?
>>722733662Is the Radiance the mom of the knight?
>>722731515>thinks video of a '''boss''' you're supposed to run past and drops shit all if you DO kill proves a point
>>722733695I'm still in Act1 but I can already tell that I'm going pure wanderer. The dopamine from hitting random crits, being able to parry through attacks with the charged up attack and infinite pogos are just too good to give up.
>>722729061I thought it was a Nuu male. lol
>>722733794Nope, Knight is pure Pale King x Pale Lady spawn.
>>722733750Lace and Shakra have cute, sexy designs and are prominent characters, plus Vog is an asshole.>but Lace is an asshole tooYes she is and I don’t like her ship with Hornet either, but she’s a very important character AND a lolibaba.
>gets beaten once>begins emo phaseCRAWLING IN MY SHELL, THESE WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEAL
>>722733593While HK is a good choice, I prefer a Quirrel game for the third part, I imagine him more of a parry user.Just hope is no Lace, she is just a boring char
>>722733997We have HK using a "nail"We have Hornet using a "needle"I'd like a character that uses a "fishing hook" since it fits thematically into small, pointy metal items. Also grappling hooks are always cool.(Also I made a cringey OC HK character back when HK released that uses a fishing hook)
>>722733593Clearly, judging by the real ending the next game will be about mushrooms.
>>722733997It will be the hollow knight vs the ghost/shade lord to finish off the trilogy the way It started
>>722733883So he's part tree? I didn't understand the story, went to the void and I saw a lot of dead brothers, but then you get a flashback of the one who didn't get tossed
>>722733593He's way too tall. It'll never happen sadly
The issue with me is that I don't enjoy dying
>>722734231How did any of that lead you to thinking the Radiance was involved in his creation?
>>722734270>the ghost>hornet is 2 ghosts tall>hollow knight is 2 hornets talluh huh
>>722734290Acquire skill then and you will never die again
I shed a tear bros, I thought he killed her so I was emotionally invested in this fight
>>722734231The Pale Lady isn't a tree, she's an ultra-fecund monster who had to be contained to stop from multiplying infinitely
>>722722818anon... the sands of karak IS the coral area, it's just a desert now....
>>722734270You just have to make him venture to a kingdom built larger than Hallownest and Pharloom.That's the beauty of a setting that establishes there are random higher beings setting up kingdoms wherever they want, you can just make up shit to fit your needs.
OHHHHH SILKIES!!!!
>>722734486takes a big fucking stinky shit on you
>>722722174>forced soul graphics
Did anyone else find this character around Pharloom? Meeting them for the third time in the Abyss was such a surprise. Should I expect a boss fight?
>>722725237>First ending unlocked. What should I do now? Start a new run from scratch? I guess I can also get the parasite ending with this save.You can do all endings in one save
Playing Silksong makes me appreciate Hallownest so much more.The Geo flows freely and almost everything is free so long as I work for it. Glory to the Pale King.
>>722732750>gamecube controller you might be a genius, i love the joystick control but it took so much time to train myself to hit the angles right, the gates on the gamecube controller are perfect and I'm pretty sure I have one I can plug into my pc laying around
Is it me or the game is too long?
>>722733938Vog does have a sexy design though. Unless you're the kind of person who also didn't like Cloth (filthy peasant with no taste).Alright what about the Second Sentinel? They have a cute, alluring design and you encounter them often in the Citadel if you were even marginally thorough in exploring.
>>722732750Judge is fairly intuitive, just be aware she introduces a charge attack in phase two that you won't have any muscle memory for. It took me an embarrassingly long time to learn to just jump over her charge and step out of the way of the flame jets.
>>722734907It's quite a bit bigger than Hollow Knight so you probably feel that. Plus the Wish system adds a lot of actual quests to backtrack around for rather than the vague ones in Hollow Knight you can easily miss so for the average person there's more to do.
>>722722174It really really really is VERY FUN!
>>722734978Also you might not be used to it but a lot of boss arenas have walls you can jump off of for extra height to dodge attacks so you aren't restricted to just pogoing and double jumping over attacks. Combine that with the cling grip and you can be safe from a lot of stuff you might not be comfortable dodging.
>>722725104The default sound mixing is fucked - both my friend and I learned we'd each moved the sound setting to 8/10 while keeping music at 10 and that struck the right balance
Does anyone knows the condition under wich Shakra can help you in hunter's march? I lost my last steel soul because she wasn't there.
FACT: By the time you are halfway through Act 2 you should be swimming in Rosaries. Complaining about Vog's prices and saying you don't like her because of them is a nothingburger opinion and only outs you as a shitter who can't earn. Put on that Magnetite Brooch and clear the walkway besides the First Shrine a couple times, broke boy.
>>722722634There were some great songs, especially Widow, but there's definitely more places where the music takes a back seat than HK.Not the bosses so much as the locations. The only ones where I can really remember a melody are Bellhart, Bilewater, Cogwork Core and Greymoor. Plus Blasted Steps, but that's just 4 seconds of singing it repeats over and over. The others just feel very ambient.
This little fucker gave me more trouble than most of the bosses.
Just got to act 3 exploring the devastation and what the heck. How could they just offscreen kill my poor guy Flick. I'm so sad there is fucking nothing left in Bone Bottom. All I have is this little statue he gave me, how heartless or desperate must one be to break this thing.Is Flick the guy worst done by in the entire game? He builds so much and YOU the player can and will destroy everything. I'll really miss his happy face and little hammer clanging in the background.
>>722735760he's not dead. he just moved
>>722735719You can just hit the nuke with your nail so it won't explode in your face. Similar mechanic with Trobbio's bouncing balls.
>>722735760I never saved the little pilgrim near the Bone Bottom bench because I did all the wishes as soon as they showed up and came back often to check for new ones before I hit Act 2.I wonder if there's anyway to save them and the builder? Everyone's safe as long as they reach Bellhart.
>>722735808Smacking enemies' projectiles is a pretty good habit to get into
For those complaining about the soundtrack, I'm pretty sure TC disclosed years ago that the composer had liberty to do things his style this time as opposed to HK where they were giving him a lot more input and durection.
>>722735808True, however the problem areas where this fuck really pisses on you are that arena with two of them at the same time, and the area near it with lava and the temporary platforms.Enjoy trying to dodge or hit the explosive out of the way without accidentally setting yourself up for two masks of damage.
>dlc comes out>all new areas to explore and bosses to fight>yfw you encounter Savage Beastfly 3 and 4
>>722735865It needs some trial and error till you figure out which ones are deflect-able and which ones will explode in your face. Rule of thumb is if it looks compact, it can be deflected, if it looks like a goo blob, just avoid it.>>722735923Yea, that arena with 2 of these nukers is the test to see if you learned how to deal with them. Deflect just one towards them, both get stunned, the fight becomes so much easier once you achieve that.
>>722723159based
kek she's even so nonchalant about it>yeah is a cool heart>i killed an incestuous gay faggot for it for no real reason>had a nice kingdom tho
Post Queen Hornet.
>>722736010My ascended wife.
>>722724638HIPS
What are the chances Hornet fights her brother in the final DLC?
>>722735719>hits explosive nigger fuck you ball back>explodes>peeks out under bell helmet and keeps throwing themi hate these fuckers so much
>>722723159beast crest... my beloved
>>722736202I think their original plan was for Shade Lord to be the true final boss but walked back on it because they are saving it for something else.
>>722723159One question tho, why the long pin and why the rune rage?
>>722723159is beast only good for burst damage and anti air? looks like whoever made that webm already knew how to fight her and would've done fine with any crest. ive been running hunter the whole game, and briefly tried wanderer for some platforming gauntlets.
Mostly blind playthrough but I want to be honest I had to look up in case I got locked out of an ending for exploring too much. (This happened to me in HK and I can't do the basic ending A because I have a charm I can't unequip so I'll have to restart game to get that one lmao).I've found it tough I won't lie but I'm suprised that many of my friends who bought it are quiting in Act 2 because they find it too hard...
>>722736202 Which brother and why would she fight him?
>game still getting an endless wave of fanartBrehs make it stop...
>>722736202Spar with hollow at most
>>722736447>>722736302>>722736202We'll get a final DLC where we can do a friendly duel with him.The fact that they outright confirmed he's still alive is blatant setup for that.
>>722735953Of course that would happen, the devs like to laugh at this fanbase and the retards don't even realize it. They really did clap like seals and protected each and every shit the devs added to make fun of them. Is there any point to defeating the Phantom if the parry is shit? I hear it consumes silk like every other ability in the game and the enemies read your attacks anyway so how are you even supposed to use it?
>>722736529>knight duel>he has descending dark iframes>he has shade cloak iframes>he can pogo on you>both of you get hurt by contact damage
>>722735790Thank you anon, I was so worried, I'll find him.Still sad Bone Bottom got so fucked multiple times. I don't dislike Bellhart but there's just something about seeing a comfy starting town slowly grow and be built. Guess they already did that in Dirtmouth and it was one of the greatest (and most underappreciated) areas in the game.
>got to nameless town after that cancerous gauntlet>just a mementowell fuck you too, i was hoping for a fun item but it's fucking nothing
>>722736581The parry is stupid strong. It's like the only three instances of iframes you can reliably get in the game.
Why are we even expecting an act 4? They'll probably just do what they did with hk and all dlc content will take place before the final boss
>>722736630>not doing it along with Mr. Mushroom's questBruv
>>722736649>After defeat, Hornet and Phantom will take their places left and right of the arena before lunging towards each other. A prompt to press the SILK SKILL button is then shown on screen. If the input is not pressed in time, Hornet will take 2 Masks of damage in quick succession and Phantom will regain 60 HP, continuing the fight. Thank God for the wiki. Fuck off devs
should i use pale nails or threadstorm with filament? i really like filament and wish there was more of a map up until the voltwyrm.
>>722736693Because City of Steel (which will probably be the setting for the next HK game if it's not SS DLC)
>>722724941>WandererNeither did you
>>722733806>What are you doing fighting enemies in an enemy-fighting game, stoopid, don't you realize you're supposed to run past and not fight enemies?My second favorite schizo take of deranged silktrannies, right after screaming that it's not a soulslike.
>>722736720oh shit hes back?
>>722736748Cowards, she should be able to one shot Hornet if you fail that.
>>722722174Too big and too long. I also prefer HK's healing system and I hate that there's no way to use that instead. >>722722634Nah. It reminds me of elden ring albeit not as bad, where the other games just have this amazing, incredible soundtrack and then that game is just... okay. Just feels bland and in the same vein as the previous game, like a cheap copy.
>>722730441>(yeah I'm including all the specific spots you can find her too)She only ever shows up a grand total of 5 times throughout the game, only 2 of them not being a fight with her.
Lost Lace is pure RNG and I will not believe otherwise until a see a 10 no-hit, nail only streak.
>>722726786I fought him before Karmelita. I don’t think the order matters.
>>722736765probably the grimm troupe of silksong
>>722736795Fuck off dick eater
>>722736790use silk soar in that one remote spot at the pale lake
>>722727605Why didn't she just let Nuu kiss her? Is she gay?
>>722736891i havent visited yet and i wondered, thanks ill run over once i slap this dancing green bug around
>>722736630I hope you unlocked the tunnel back downthe pogo enemies at the very end and the tiny bugs up top are also hunter’s journal entries
>>722726904for me it's any of the 'throw annoying projectile and fly just out of reach' enemies like the bell throwers feels like there's way more of those in ss than hk
>>722736748what are you even upset about
>>722726904I don’t think I ever found this fucking lever and I never saw this thing til act 3
>>722734270just do another prequel where he's a youth travelling the land
>>722736939The WHAT?
>>722730041thisi feel like there weren't enough characters in ss
>>722736751Thread storm has the potential for most damage per skill cast. Pale nails can be cast in preparation and used together with your nail attacks. It's up to you honestly.
>>722736939yeah i got them
>>722733806>you're SUPPOSED to not fight the enemy in the video game! die
>>722737035From the top there’s an area you can open with a press-up doorway that says “take the tunnel back down?”. It leads to a secret room right above the final bench in the Border Caves. You can use this to skip all but the earliest Cradle platforming and go straight to Nameless Town. This lets you re-enter the final room from the top, so you can do the other stuff for completion far more easilyIt’s somewhat obvious to find actually.
>>722737080>Thread storm has the potential for most damage per skill castThat's rune rage but only against large bodies.
>>722736751Why is volt filament a factor in deciding what spell to use? It buffs all spells equally, unless you're one of those retards who still plays on the release version because he thinks playing any of the versions after the nerfs will lower his gamer cred.
Anything I should do before Act 3?
>>722736836There are small windows where you can hit her head on but in general trying to hit her head on will invite her parry which is extremely quick and hard to dodge.By far the safest option is pogoing off her giant head and there are numerous windows to do this completely safely. Another good window is when she's up in the air diagonally shooting tentacles; there's a free hit from underneath her and when she lands. It gets easier with time.One thing to be wary of is that areas that look like safe places to dash away to are the opposite against Lost Lace because she will often dip down into the void and pop up where you intend to move to for instant collision damage then she follows up for another 2 masks of damage while you regather.
>>722737243i think all the wishes? idk i was just finding fleas and the shrine guy called me over for the song quest and suddenly i was in act 3.
>>722737246>her parry which is extremely quick and hard to dodge.Literally just jump up straight, it doesn't matter which variation of her parry she does it won't hit you. This makes her parry into a free hit, or two, if you're quick enough.
>>722737206No. It's not even close. Thread storm can be extended by spamming the button, so its full damage is way bigger than you can imagine.
>>722737240okay ill just pick whatever, i thought maybe it would do more damage with some spells, but nevermind.
>>722737243Shakra bossfight is missable, I think you don't risk missing anything else.
>>722737243Fight Shakra because you can't in act 3. Also fight Beastfly 2 and Moorwing and get everything in Bone Bottom done.Other than that, if you've unlocked the quest to act 3, you're probably good to go.
>>722737375What is "x3" next to rune rage? 3 hits? Rune rage can hit large bodies more than that.
>>722737375>want to try shaman>need 3 more memory locketsAEEEIIIIII
>>722737359I've only ever dodged it by accident when I clawline into her then immediately dash through in the same direction. If I hit her head on with the needle, even if I hear the clink, see her ducking down, it's too late. I cannot react in time with Reaper.Everything else she's got I can time and avoid through positioning but I have to structure my attempts around not inviting her parry.
>>722737524Yes. Sure, there are some bosses where their huge hitbox may allow to be hit with more than 4 runes of this spell, but it's not guaranteed. You need at least 5 rune hits to get close to Thread Storm, can you do that consistently?
>>722737524Rune rage has damage drop off, each subsequent hit deals less and less damage, you're unlikely to hit more than 3 on a single enemy and it won't make up the damage difference between it and thread storm anyway due to damage drop off.
>>722737246Parry is easy as shit to dodge by jumping, although punishing it is a fair bit harder and requires good action. You're mainly looking for her dash attack, figuring out your position to her to gauge what the third attack will be (aerial, tentacle, additional dash) and punish appropriately. She has some big punish windows in phase 2 and 3, mostly when she's shooting globs and (less so) when she's summoning orbs. Phase 3 is chaotic but you just need to remember she'll always respawn close to, albeit hidden by one of her abyss aoes.
The doublejump feels like shit. Also: I used to laugh at tediumfags, but now, halfway through Act 3, I find myself agreeing with them more and more. I'm not having fun anymore.
>>722737580Just try it, you'll see it works. You may have to double jump if she does the aerial parry.
>>722723159Holy shit what a damage sponge
>>722713954
>>722737752>>72272315950% more health than GMS by the way
>>722737246>>722737580The parry always seemed to me the easiest attack to counter, by jumping and dashing over her head, wich gives me the occasion to hit her.
>>722737646It never really feels like it's own Act but you make your peace with that and just enjoy the bosses as best you can. There are some great boss experiences in there.
>>722737195EXPLAIN MORE CLEARLY. WHERE AT THE TOP? THE WHOLE AREA IS THE TOP.
>>722737646The only tedious part of act 3 is tracking the Outcast across the Far Fields with his annoying fucking traps and void enemies everywhere.
>>722737946literally just do the barest minimum of exploration on the surface you dumb nigger
>>722737946Just don't jump down the big hole or save and quit.
>is a normal ant with no magic powers>doesn't even need to use a metal weapon>spends entire fight dancing and singing and being hot>batters you to deathShe's really in her own tier as far as Pharloom creatures go. Could have rolled up and killed GMS herself if she gave a fuck (back in the day).
>>722736748Could you elaborate on how the wiki is helpful here?
>>722738237>Could have rolled up and killed GMS herself if she gave a fuck (back in the day).If she could get her out of her cocoon somehow, remember that shit held up against the weight of an entire ocean of void.
>>722738237Reminder that the ant queen is the only female of the colony who is capable of reproduction so Karmelita has taken more dicks than your puny monkey brains can even begin to fathom.
>>722738445Only 1
>>722738237She explocitely is a third of Silk, together with the other rulers>We could do it. The spell can be cast, with enough power, enormous power, equal maybe to that monarchAll of them lost to Silk.
>>722738445>capable of reproductionAnother win chalked up over GMS.
Bad mom
playing HK again after beating SS and the #1 thing better about it is the build freedom. sure you dont get different crests but being able to mix and match the charms however you want is really nice.even though I always end up using longclaw, hunters pride and quick slash as my core. damn I really wish there was a hunters pride or quick slash equivalent in SS though I guess itd be too broken.also HK is harder than I remember it being though it really doesnt get difficult at all until late game.
I think Reaper is the biggest pitfall for most first time players. The crest is designed to generate silk so you could use silk skills for DPS, but when you're only learning the map and boss movesets, you just keep hoarding silk for healing, resulting in a massive loss of potential DPS. I'm replaying the game with Beast now and it's absolutely ridiculous how fast most bosses die to it. Where Reaper demanded perfect knowledge of boss movesets, Beast just needs you to find an opening.Also, it's pogo is ridiculously good when fighting large enemies.
I want to fuck these robots.
>>722738729wait, does Lace even know her Mom is sealed?
>>722738998Too bad it got butchered and by picking Beast you throw out of the window 1/3rd of the tools until almost you are in Act 3 and you can have a blue vesticrest thingie to slot in only 1 (one) blue tool.
Inb4 Silksong godhome equivalent will all be in a dream so it's doable in steel soul except for the final final boss
>>722738998Reaper is the thinking man's crest. Bosses must know that I can beat them with my well-placed strikes. There will be no frenetic movement, no rushing, only a methodical dismantling using my slow needle that does barely any damage.
>>722726904They're cutie pies :3
whats the best charm loadout for killing bosses in HK1?
I just started the walk to the Sinner's Road, where is the FUCKING bench, why do the DOGS grab me for 2 masks and why is the water AIDS
>>722738445Ant queens in real life mate only once in their life after leaving the colony that made them, and then they stay in their nest never seeing the light of day until they die of old age (unless something goes wrong and they're forced to relocate).
>>722736627How the fuck you guys get Bone Bottom fucked pre-Act 3?I got the Skull Tyrant quest, and did it as soon as I got it. The fucker never appeared down there.
whwre's the night of revenge guy? the normies are starting to catch on too
>>722739326First bench is up and left from where the caged guy is. The flying guy who throws caltrops will kill you before you get near though.
>>722739398Apparently all you have to do is do the skull tyrant grand hunt wish and then rest at the bone bottom bench. I somehow never rested there after doing that until halfway into act 2 so pillby was fine in my playthrough.
>>722739379Yesn't. Ant queens get gigagangbanged once and store a life time's worth of cum which they spend to fertilize their eggs.
>>722739596>Carmelita gets a train ran on her>Eternal femcel Silk seethes and invadesgirlfailure villain

>>722739820They are also generally the strongest and most competent faction other than maybe Khann's faction.
>>722739947>"Crusty King Khann's Faction Not So Strong Anymore Since Being Dead"
>>722739947Khann and his clan died out because of the citadel, the skarr lived to see the citadel fall, they are not the same.
>>722739326I see you haven't been to bilewater yet.
>>722738735>build freedomThe problem is that there's only 2 good builds, melee and mage. The rest are either a mix of those, very underwhelming minion build (only added in DLC) and a collection of clown builds you can make, like Defender's Crest Flukenest/Womb. At the end of the day Silksong gives you much more viable tools to play with.
>>722740007>>722740038Khann was located much closer to the Citadel so GMS was probably more concerned with him than the ants.
>>722740119The anthill is probably only 3 meters away from the Citadel in real life.
>>722740007>>722740038I saw the interesting theory that Khan isn't actually dead but hybernating or something similar, as he turns into coral when he dies, but we find his body there.
>>722740261>muh real lifeIt's a video game with literal gods and sentient insects. You faggots need to stop trying to translate everything you see in a video game to the real world.
>>722740314Relax. They're just little guys.
>>722739326>why do the DOGS grab meTC wanted to make an eroge
Canonically is the top of Mt Fay sitting in a large cavern underground or is it exposed to the sky?
>>722739326>he fell for it
If everything is supposed to be underground, why is there light shining through some ceilings?
>>722722495>OST isn't as memorableYou're just saying this because you played HK more + nostalgia. SS OST is fantastic, and got a lot more memorable tunes compared to HK's Greenpath and Fungal Wastes themes, which are the ones most people always name when asked. SS' also got a lot of great ambiance, like Underworks theme is absolutely fucking perfect for the area.
Im case anyone was wondering why a lot of the soundtrack sounded similar.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UYKXJ8vGaPALarkin wanted to use Dies Irae as a main motif theme in almost every area of the game.
>>722739326buckle in, it gets worse, much worse
>>722740379If it's a cave, why is it freezing?If it's surface, why isn't nameless town freezing?>Don't try to understand, just execute orders!
>>722740379Underground. You can see the cavern's roof from the peak, as well as from the Memorium's windows. >>722740457Because it looks pretty and Catholic. Much of the game is artistic license.
>>722740554>entire soundtrack is based around same leitmotifUm, KINO?

>>722740554>needed a Youtube video to point out the Dies Irae literally ringing over your head

I wish they could have made Bilewater without all the cancer.
>>722722305>Psychologist Barry Schwartz popularized it: the more options you have, the harder it becomes to choose, and the less satisfied you feel no matter what you pick. Basically, your brain short-circuits trying to maximize the perfect outcome, and you end up doing... nothing. Like a tragic hero who dies surrounded by unplayed masterpieces and unopened Humble Bundles. If the paralysis gets extreme — like you genuinely freeze up, feel guilt, or avoid making any decision — it’s sometimes also framed under “analysis paralysis.” Same basic phenomenon, just with a more anxiety-flavored undertone.this is another huge aspect and reason why gamepass isn't a good model for video games. on netflix you also have too much choice but you can binge watch and go through a lot of stuff fast. not the case with video games, most of them are long and bloated while good ones require dedication and mastery you will unlock after 100h or more.
>>722740926>without all the cancerGIMME A BILEWATER WIT' NUTHIN'!
>>722739493Roachcatchers aren't hard to kill, you just gotta remember to hit their bolas and that the spikes don't disappear on their own like other lingering projectiles.
Karmelita is filtering me, bros...
>>722740926>I wish they could have made Bilewater without Bilewater
>>722740935I think that's why I was generally happier with video games as a kid. We didn't have a lot of money so when my mom bought a game from blockbuster or EB Games, I'd play that one game for months. I maybe got 2 games a year but I LOVED those games. I was able to clear Thunder Force V without losing a ship. I played Pokémon Red and Final Fantasy 7 exclusively for nearly a year. My Sunday school teacher got me Oracle of Seasons and Ages and I could clear both games in a day by the time I moved on. Nowadays I can get whatever game I want but I barely even remember them now. Most times they just sit in my backlog until inspiration strikes me or they just vanish from my memory
>>722723090>Credit where it's due however, SS is not a "fake" hard gameWhat bullshit. It is the definition of artificial difficulty back when /v/irgins used to use that term. Bosses are damage sponges out the ass, so fights drag on. Everything ends up doing 2 masks worth of damage, even if you brush against their oversized hit boxes. And the fights are the definition of "not that mechanically complex to engage," with extremely simplistic patterns that rely on either throwing a multiple enemies on the screen at the same time or a ton of distracting flashy shit while the boss moves extremely fast compared to Hornet's normal movement speed. But, you're right, it isn't that hard. It's tedious. It's boring. It wasn't worth a 7 year wait. But it isn't that hard.
>>722722475it's not hard just grating
>>722741112Same. I'm gonna try Beast Crest next
>>722741112Karmelita is a super fun fight. Stop stressing over beating her and just enjoy the fight.Alternatively, crutch on some noob shit like architects poison cogflies and tacks or Beast crest spam with Flintslate and Flea Brew.
>>722740926>I wish they made Blighttown without the poisonThat's the point, silly. It's like paid benches in Underworks, it exists as environmental storytelling. Bilewater ended up being specifically designed to fuck over silkfags.

>>722741152>Nowadays I can get whatever game I want but I barely even remember them now.

>>722741659Oh no, you got to traverse the world. The horrors!
>>722741659The wishboard is just a failsafe for dumbasses. The game expects you to check on the NPCs in act 3. You're meant to stumble on her note on your own.
>>722742413And if a boss kills you, you respawn with full resources on the Boss door too."Dad gamers" are to blame too, don't drop all the shit on the kids.
I think they shouldn't have given us the dice for free after the dice guy dies. we should have had to earn it.

so uhh we all agree cogflies are a crutch tool right, that goes double if they're paired with the poison tool
>>722742746I'm currently playing through the game and basically forget that tools even exist 99% of the time and have maybe used them 5 times in my 20 hours of play.
>>722742220I completed the game 100%, all mementos, materials, etc.Except for the delivery to fleatopia.Fuck that shit.
>>722742853That's just a rookie mistake, you're given tools for a reason.
>>722742746Curvesickle and Conchcutter were the better options for me... I even had Sawtooth Circlet for boss fights when bosses were bigger than me
>>722742898>delivery to fleatopia.I don't remember doing that and I got the 100% achievement... maybe it wasn't necessary for that?
>>722742853are you using clawline during the combats?
>>722742746 Poison is not nearly as much added damage as you probably think. All the fantastic tools are just as fantastic without poison. Poison is mostly a sugar pill charm.
>>722743031Delivery wishes aren't required for 100%. Only the Queen's Egg, I think.
>>722743031It's not needed.Only the laquer delivery to the mask maker is needed for the laquer material in the compendium.

>>722744989>hardest boss in the gameWhat
>>722744989I don't know, I had no issues with him. I beat him second try or maybe 3rd, I'm not sure. Karmelita took me 4 and I'm currently sitting on about 7 losses to Lost Lace. I wanted to finish the game last night but I was getting impatient and was just trying to get the fight over with so I decided to leave it for today but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

>>722745419did you know seth's scores are based o your high scores? if you try to set an absurdly high score before seth joins fleatopia, he'll set an even crazier high score.
>>722745491Proof?
>>722745491No... my flea dodge score is 80 and I haven't got Seth at the caravan yet. How high is his score going to be...? I don't mind juggle and pogo because those are actually fun to do but the dodge is a fucking nightmare.
>>722745491not sure if it's true, regardless of people's scores i always see that Seth's dodge score is 95. Just like in that pic >>722745419 did 68 and seth was 95, I had a 66 and still the same

Why is Moss Grotto so incomparably lush and verdant ? Far Fields and Hunter's March is justified as being powered by Karmelita Swift's latent fertility, but Moss Grotto soilmogs both those areas hard.
>>722748042kek 4chan troglodytes have been regularly becoming reddit tourists and failing prey to their little jokes. the tables have truly turned.
There was a fun discussion on /vg/ the other day about ideas to make the game as cancerous as possible. I would like to hear some more fun ideas.>Ventrica travel now costs rosaries every time (but a pass can be found on a well-hidden underworks worker)>Snitchbugs can steal equipped tools upon contact damage then they run to the nearest exit. Stolen tools can later be bought back from Grindle for 800+ rosaries
>>722734601what exactly is wrong about this?
After more attempts than I care to admit, I still think this is the best final boss I can remember fighting in a very long time. Way better than The Radiance. Better than Sword Saint Isshin (though not by much). Better than Vergil (by quite a lot).72hr, 96%I got impatient to fight Lace and didn't want to grind out the last Sprintmaster and Hunter's Journal shit beforehand, so now I guess it's back to that.
>>722730041Quirrel is like one of the least interesting characters in all of Hollow Knight. And your picture showcases the only sliver of interest there is to be found in the character.

Jokes aside, is there anyway to reliably avoid getting hit by those poisondart snipers in Bilewater ? I clawline into them, they jump back, and I take contact damage. I parry the one dart, the other one hits me. I throw my spear, it's not enough damage.
>>722749093Boomerang
>>722748969On your first ascent there aren't any. You will need to git gud. The area is designed to force you to learn to use the clawline and become comfortable with it. After your first ascent, shortcuts will become available to you. However, even then you won't need them. Once it clicks in your brain you can dance up the mountain like a sherpa. It's a matter of understanding how to use clawline.
>>722722634these are amazing and my 4 favorites but its also just 4 tracks lolHK has a much stronger roster overall
>>722749143Just dash towards them on the ground when they are about to spit their darts.
>>722749143If you can hear them whispering be ready for them to ambush you. When they do, don't bum rush them but instead manage distance and then just continue on your way. Unless you need them for the hunter's journal they're easiest just ignored. On the Groal runback this is most apparent, just run past them.
It is included as a part of emergency overdose response kits distributed to heroin, fentanyl, and other opioid drug users, and to emergency responders. This has been shown to reduce rates of deaths due to overdose.[22] A prescription for naloxone is recommended if a person is on a high dose of opioid (>100 mg of morphine equivalence/day), is prescribed any dose of opioid accompanied by a benzodiazepine, or is suspected or known to use opioids nonmedically.[23] Prescribing naloxone should be accompanied by standard education that includes preventing, identifying, and responding to an overdose; rescue breathing; and calling emergency services.[24]
Whether naloxone is excreted in breast milk is unknown, however, it is not orally bioavailable and therefore is unlikely to affect a breastfeeding infant.[34]

In 2021, the FDA approved Kloxxado, an 8 mg dose of intranasal naloxone developed by Hikma Pharmaceuticals.[47] Citing the frequent need for multiple 4 mg doses of Narcan to successfully reverse overdose, packs of Kloxxado Nasal Spray contain two pre-packaged nasal spray devices, each containing 8 mg of naloxone.[48][9]
>>722748761>appears and only shit-talks you, doesn't actually do anything

Use of naloxone to treat people who have been using opioids recreationally may cause acute opioid withdrawal with distressing physiological symptoms such as shivering, tachycardia, and nausea; these in turn may lead to aggression and reluctance to receive further treatment.[59]

>>722749803Lipophilicity (from Greek λίπος "fat" and φίλος "friendly") is the ability of a chemical compound to dissolve in fats, oils, lipids, and non-polar solvents such as hexane or toluene. Such compounds are called lipophilic (translated as "fat-loving" or "fat-liking"[1][2]). Such non-polar solvents are themselves lipophilic, and the adage "like dissolves like" generally holds true. Thus lipophilic substances tend to dissolve in other lipophilic substances, whereas hydrophilic ("water-loving") substances tend to dissolve in water and other hydrophilic substances.

>>722749998If naloxone is administered in the absence of concomitant opioid use, no functional pharmacological activity occurs, except the inability of the body to combat pain naturally;[67] since pure mu-opioid antagonists like naloxone and naltrexone block the effects of endorphins.[68][69] In contrast to direct opiate agonists, which elicit opiate withdrawal symptoms when discontinued in opiate-tolerant people, no evidence indicates the development of tolerance or dependence on naloxone. The mechanism of action is not completely understood, but studies suggest it functions to produce withdrawal symptoms by competing for opioid receptors within the brain (a competitive antagonist, not a direct agonist), thereby preventing the action of both endogenous and xenobiotic opioids on these receptors without directly producing any effects itself.[70]

I've got the quest to start act 3. Is there anything I should do first, or any loose ends I should tie up?
>>722750070When administered parenterally (non-orally or non-rectally, e.g., intravenously or by injection), as is most common, naloxone has a rapid distribution throughout the body. The mean serum half-life has been shown to range from 30 to 81 minutes, shorter than the average half-life of some opiates, necessitating repeat dosing if opioid receptors must be stopped from triggering for an extended period. Naloxone is primarily metabolized by the liver. Its major metabolite is naloxone-3-glucuronide, which is excreted in the urine.[70] For people with liver diseases such as alcoholic liver disease or hepatitis, naloxone usage has not been shown to increase serum liver enzyme levels.[74]
>>722750070If there's any unexplored areas you should do them now. Act 3 is going to make traversing those places a lot harder. Make sure you found every flea too, you can tell if you have the fleafinder NPC with the fleas.
Who the FUCK is Grand Mother Silk anyway, and how old is she, considering she created the Weavers?
>>722750184Hepatic first-pass metabolism, or the first-pass effect, is the process where orally administered drugs are metabolized in the gut wall and liver before they reach the rest of the body. This process significantly reduces the concentration of the active drug that enters the systemic (general) circulation and can be a major factor in determining drug bioavailability.

>>722750265You can get the fleas to fleatopia without finding all the fleas
>>722750319One such myth is that naloxone makes the recipient violent.[85] Another is that events called "Lazarus parties" have taken place, in which people reportedly took fatal overdoses in anticipation of being treated with naloxone; in reality this was a fiction spread by the police.[84] Yet another is the claim that people have indulged in "yo-yoing", whereby they would take naloxone and opioids simultaneously to enjoy an extreme "high" and subsequent revival; the idea is scientifically nonsensical.[84]
>>722750319Oh okay I thought you had to find all of them for it.
>>722750364Laws and policies in many US jurisdictions have been changed to allow wider distribution of naloxone.[99][100] In addition to laws or regulations permitting distribution of medicine to at-risk individuals and families, some 36 states have passed laws that provide naloxone prescribers with immunity against both civil and criminal liabilities.[101] While paramedics in the US have carried naloxone for decades, law enforcement officers in many states throughout the country carry naloxone to reverse the effects of heroin overdoses when reaching the location before paramedics. As of 12 July 2015, law enforcement departments in 28 US states are allowed to or required to carry naloxone to quickly respond to opioid overdoses.[102] Programs training fire personnel in opioid overdose response using naloxone have also shown promise in the US, and efforts to integrate opioid fatality prevention into emergency response have grown due to the US overdose crisis.[103][104][105][106]

>>722750520Following the use of the nasal spray device by police officers on Staten Island in New York, an additional 20,000 police officers began carrying naloxone in mid-2014. The state's Office of the Attorney General provided US$1.2 million to supply nearly 20,000 kits. Police Commissioner William Bratton said: "Naloxone gives individuals a second chance to get help".[107] Emergency Medical Service Providers (EMS) routinely administer naloxone, except where basic Emergency Medical Technicians are prohibited by policy or by state law.[108] In efforts to encourage citizens to seek help for possible opioid overdoses, many states have adopted Good Samaritan laws that provide immunity against certain criminal liabilities for anybody who, in good faith, seeks emergency medical care for either themselves or someone around them who may be experiencing an opioid overdose.[109]

>>722748718>the silk spearsYou mean the Pale Nails or the actual Silk Spear, the first silk skill you get in the game? I will assume you mean the Pale Nails, and yea, they can cover a pretty long range, the homing is pretty fast and locks on, and as I said, you can cast them in preparation. For example a boss dives into the floor, you know when it will go out, so you summon the 3 nails, and you are ready to go ham on him and the 3 nails will be some free extra damage once he appears.
In a survey of US laypersons in December 2021, most people believed the scientifically supported idea that trained bystanders can reverse overdoses with naloxone.[117]

>>722750881In the European Union, take home naloxone pilots were launched in the Channel Islands and in Berlin in the late 1990s.[124] In 2008, the Welsh Assembly government announced its intention to establish demonstration sites for take-home naloxone,[125] and in 2010, Scotland instituted a national naloxone program.[126] Inspired by North American and European efforts, non-governmental organizations running programs to train drug users as overdose responders and supply them with naloxone are now operational in Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, China, Vietnam, and Thailand.[127]

Pedophilia (alternatively spelled paedophilia) is a mental condition in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a sexual attraction to prepubescent children.[1][2]:vii Although girls typically begin the process of puberty at age 10 or 11, and boys at age 11 or 12,[3] psychiatric diagnostic criteria for pedophilia extend the cut-off point for prepubescence to age 13.[4] People with the disorder are often referred to as pedophiles (or paedophiles).
I miss my soft wife...
I'm playing this for the first timeI just made it to the first boss, some fly or some shitI heard people complain about not having a pogo attack (I also heard you can get it later on though) but isn't this new dive kick waaaaay better? it's both useful for offense and platforming. Then again, I can't imagine myself beating path of pain with this one, imagine the last section with the very last 2 saws
>>722750690>everyone sleeps on beast and thinks it's one of the worst crests>it's actually up there with the architect tool spam because you can just mindlessly facetrade every boss with it
>>722750859Huh, alright I did see some things high up.
>>722750997In popular usage, the word pedophilia is often applied to any sexual interest in children or the act of child sexual abuse, including any sexual interest in minors below the local age of consent or age of adulthood, regardless of their level of physical or mental development.[1][2]:vii[6] This use conflates the sexual attraction to prepubescent children with the act of child sexual abuse and fails to distinguish between attraction to prepubescent and pubescent or post-pubescent minors.[7][8] Although some people who commit child sexual abuse are pedophiles,[6][9] child sexual abuse offenders are not pedophiles unless they have a primary or exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent children,[7][10][11] and many pedophiles do not molest children.[12]

>>722751140Pedophilia was first formally recognized and named in the late 19th century. A significant amount of research in the area has taken place since the 1980s. Although mostly documented in men, there are also women who exhibit the disorder,[2]:72–74[13] and researchers assume available estimates underrepresent the true number of female pedophiles.[14] No cure for pedophilia has been developed, but there are therapies that can reduce the incidence of a person committing child sexual abuse.[6] The exact causes of pedophilia have not been conclusively established.[2]:101 Some studies of pedophilia in child sex offenders have correlated it with various neurological abnormalities and psychological pathologies.[15]

If you get the Embrace the Void ending then calling The Radiance will unwittingly call The Void and the Lord of Shades to destroy both her and the Godseekers. Unless you gave the Godseekers the Everbloom

>>722722525>tfw thought this was some half bug half jellyfish mad scientist mutant lady>no it's just a stinky jellyfish wearing a maskwhat is a fucking jellyfish doing in a kingdom of bugs anyway?
>>722751671The atrocities of the citadel are mostly the fault of the conductors and weavers. Rather than Silk, she's no Radiance.
>>722751671The Weavers blame Grandmother Silk for ruining Pharloom since it was her lies that created the Weavers and her Silk is the foundation on which the whole kingdom was built. The Weavers are blamed for ruining Pharloom since they were the ones running day to day operations and were considered vicious by some NPCs. Or at least kept bad friends. Meanwhile you have the Conductors who not only kept the song that put Grandmother Silk to sleep going but had the giga brain idea of using surgically grafting Silk to the hearts and minds of bugs in hopes of inventing eternal, or at least extended life. Probably because they didn't realize Silk is weaved from soul, which caused The Silk to become haunted
I grew bored by the end of Act 2 that I started skipping every line of dialogue and turned on invincibility and endless double jump get it out of the way.
>>722751947npyou can do it, bro
>>722751890Sounds convoluted.
>>722751651Yeah, and when the way to make the game easy is to just halve the damage that enemies deal, then the difficulty is entirely artificial.Do you need me to explain it in more detail or with smaller words?
>>722752339It felt convoluted at first but it's starting to make sense to me. Grandmother Silk is a higher being that wants good little obedient children. That's why she uplifted the little shithead spiders that hide in rocks to cut you into The Weavers. The Weavers were the "First Children" and basically ran Pharloom... after Grandmother Silk conquered every surrounding territory. This was up until they realized Grandmother Silk was lying and that they weren't actually divine. Then they turned on their own goddess. But after coming up with the song to put Grandmother Silk to sleep, and then encasing her in a cocoon of her own Silk, and then instructing the Conductors to keep the song going so she never wakes up, the Weavers just kind of fucked off. And the Conductors turned Pharloom into the hellhole we see on game, assuming it wasn't like that already. Until Grandmother Silk began to wake up, thanks Lace and Phantom, and that Silk they were using began Haunted.

>>722753934You are actually, legitimately retarded. Impressive.
>>722748339Here are some ideas:Each time you die you will lose 25% of your cocoon's total rosaries if you manage to recover it. You have to pay for benches and bellways every time you want to use them regardless of area.You can only heal muckmaggots with the greymoor surgeon and it costs 50 rosaries every time. You lose all shards when you die. You can't recover them in the cocoon, they're gone forever. Tools have a durability bar and will break after a certain amount of uses (regardless of bench). You have to go to the forge sister/architect to have them repaired and it will cost up to 150 rosaries depending on the tool. Taking damage will remove 2 bars of silk every time, 4 if double damage.Hornet has a random chance to go into her little weak walking animation she does at the beginning of the game but for the entire game, even on combat. You need to buy a yellow tool and have it equipped at all times to avoid it. It's only available after you reach the citadel.
