It sucks that Hornet can only have all her canon HK abilities at the same time on 1 crest that's also only accessible at the last like 10% of the game and shoots weird magic projectiles.

Yeah no shit, Reaper is both a noob crutch and a trap. It's a noob crutch because it has a massive downstrike which makes pogoing easy but it's a noob trap because it's the weakest crest and the delay and the little push down when you strike down with it are deceptively annoying.

>>722994567
Shaman is good but I still think the charged attack should give 2 or 3 silk per hit.

Do you get enough memory lockets to mac out all the crests?
>>
>>722996726
Yes but they are pretty hidden so unless you look up a guide you will probably miss some and even if you find all of them, you won't be able to unlock all the slots on a crest right after getting it if you don't save some lockets.

For me, it's Beast.

You're missing the spike traps.

So you can't have all her skills from HK at the same time since it's a red tool.

Huh, didn't know.
I switched to Witch after I got it anyways because I like how swishy the nail is in that mode. Whatever the crest is in the OP will probably be my go to once I get it.

Did GMS make Lace before or after she created the Weavers?
>>
>>722994567
That heal though. What the fuck is up with that.
Honestly I think the heal differences are the main reason that makes me stick to hunter/wanderer/reaper/architect.
Like I want to try beast and such but I can't deal with these garbage heals.
Witch seems like a detriment on anything other than some bossfight. For exploration and platforming you're not healing shit, and if you try to nuke a mob with the heal and get hit by a cheeky projectile or spastic contact damage you're done.
Beast seems like you need to heal preemptively and play aggressive. Combined with the vastly different moveset makes it a completely different playstyle to all the other crests. Could be fun but it's not something you swtich on the fly, you need to master it.
And for shaman the heal is just bad. There's nothing more to say, it's just bad. Your're a zoner that can't heal basically so your build is pretty good to spam those charged attacks though I would switch the parry for pale nails. Why risk parrying? just stay away. Also spear for dart, for repositioning when cornered.
>>
>>722998492
Shaman's heal really isn't THAT bad, you were just spoiled by how OP and braindead the regular heal is in Silksong. Also, you're vastly overestimating the range on Shaman's attacks. The charged attack is the only one with any real range.
>>
>>722998492
Beast is cool but there's absolutely nothing wrong with going with reaper or something when platforming due to the lack of free heals

You will be a monster chad with cool attacks tho and that's worth sometimes being whittled down and dying due to whiffing your heal window

Also TC this is the hundredth time I'm asking: give Beast Crest a single blue tool slot instead of a yellow
>>
>>722997605
Show us a video of you face trading a boss with beast crest

You can't, because taking damage cuts the bind effect to almost nothing, meaning you deal base damage and spend all your silk on binding again, without getting heals. You might heal one or two masks with your strat.

Beast crest almost necessitates taking zero damage when using bind.
>>
>>722998818
>The charged attack is the only one with any real range.
Yeah I know that's why he should spam it wit the pin. With the current patch it should replenish silk too. So for the most part spam charged until there's enough silk for skills. Stay away and don't get hit because the heal is objectively slow and there's only so much injector band can do.
>>
>>722999041
You're getting the vesticrest blue slot late mid-game and you better be thankful for it or else.
>>
>>722999430
That's not enough. I want to be able to equip the ant-mask as I get the crest. These are acquired from the same area, from the same guys essentially.
And yet cool mask wearing is barred for 10-20 hours gameplay for no reason whatsoever.
Can't really claim it would be op to give it a single blue slot either

After. She was buttmad about the Weavers ditching her.
>>
>>722999713
She couldn't have made Lace after the Weavers ditched her because she was sealed by then. So if she made Lace after the Weavers, it must have been not that long after them.
>>
A ton of the gameplay issues would be fixed if you could quickly swap between two crests at any moment.
>>
>>722999558
Yeah It's a weird balance choice in my opinion.
Weird alien pogo, no heal unless you hit things consistently in a short period of time without getting hit back, and on top of all time no fucking blue slot but only 3 yellows.
Is there a single new player that looked at that shit and said "yeah I'm switching to this. I'm glad I brute forced savage niggerfly for this crest"?
>>
>>722999615
>"Brute force"

>>722996467
yes, Lace activates it to fight Horny. Fun fact: you can skip the fight entirely because there isn't any walls blocking you from long jumping away.

>>722998492
you can heal just fine, you only have to do it on the floor
Im not sure if youre aware but silk skills when playing shaman have a whopping +50% damage increase

parrying isnt the best for damage, its great as a mixture of offense and defense. its really good to make it easier to avoid damage while still dishing out damage
>>722998818
no way the range on shaman is quite sexy specially with longclaw
>>722999218
spamming it is very good but it can be a lot slower for damage when you consider silk skills, as once again shaman's silk skills deal way more damage so you really wanna get them fast
i thought the heal of shaman was perfectly quick as long as you were in the ground
>>723000054
that was me because beast was the crest i was the most excited for but turns out it just sucks
i dont care what anyone else says, having two blue slots inherently substitutes any advantage. "But the damage bonus!!" my hunter AND my shaman have a fat ass damage bonus before you even count the blue slots!!!
>>
>>723000407
>parrying isnt the best for damage, its great as a mixture of offense and defense
Yeah but at a risk and with shaman it's best to avoid damage thats all i'm saying. Not just for the slow heal, but because that silk is better used spamming pale nails.

>>723000670

maybe when actively fishing it, but the way i see it its about diminishing risk rather than increasing it. youre replacing hitbox based combat with parryslop and its specially handy when enemies fire an annoying burst of projectiles or are close to cornering you

But really, use whichever crest is most fun for you. That's the whole point of the different crests. As someone who's used all the crests to a decent degree, I think Hunter is by far the most fun once you git gud but I can't decide what's fun for you.

>>723002360
The only thing that would be easier than that is spamming cogflies and tacks with Architect.
>>
>>723002494
Wanderer spam is easier and safer? Because you have your guaranteed 4 mask heal every single time, your damage and attack speed isn't hinging on binding every time, and you therefore have more leeway in how you play.

That guy in that video needed to avoid some damage in order for the strategy to function. He also timed his power up buffs according to the boss' health, and safely gap closed several times.

I'm still in act 1, so far Hunter and Beast feel amazing and Reaper felt like absolute garbage. I think they should have just had one moveset and made the game around it because this way the whole game has to be watered down to make sure you can do everything with every moveset

Does your game say "map updated" when you sit at a bench or does it just show the icon for the map updating without the text? It's an extremely small issue I've had on Deck so I'm wondering if it's universal.

I beat Hollow Knight twice back in the day. After my first true ending run, I went back to Hollow Knight for a third 100% playthrough. Then I went back to Silksong for a second playthrough.

If I could have Silksong's gameplay with everything else being Hollow Knight it would be a perfect 10/10 game. Hollow Knight is a bit of a slog to actually play because it's so easy and the Knight isn't interesting or fun to control like Hornet is, but literally everything else it does better than Silksong.

No, you just like a balanced and measured approach to fighting and you value the reach that the moveset has despite its speed.

have you tried not using tools until you learned the boss move set? Or you know, spending beads on shard bundles?

You're not meant to crutch on tools and if you do you have to pay the shitter tax by paying for shard bundles for which you will likely have to farm.

Playing metroidvanias on anything but controller should be grounds for execution, only a genuine degenerate does that.

I've been using Reaper for most of the game. I think the longer reach spoiled me, because I'll occasionally pop on Hunter and end up making a ton of sloppy mistakes.
I got Architect last night and don't understand why everyone fellates it so hard, the melee moveset is abysmal. The tool regen gimmick sounds fun but I basically never use tools so it might just not be for me.

>>723011767

No? The shaman crest still doesn't let you access everything Hornet used in HK at the same time, let alone making the character feel like she became stronger.

The game becomes linear slop in act 3. Abyss, verdania, coral tower are completely linear sequences when the early game is just as much about exploration and wonder as it is about combat. What a sad and shitty ending
>>
>>723015353
>NOOOOOOO MUH HECKIN EXPLORATION!!!
You literally had 40-50 hours of exploration. There's nothing wrong with act 3 being mostly combat.

Nah didn't happen much. The issue is that most mobs don't drop rosaries nor shards.

>>
>>723016602
Not really. My mates are running into the exact same issues. It costs rosaries to donate, and then you unlock items which costs hundreds of rosaries. But you just spent all your rosaries unlocking it. Bosses don't give you rosaries, nor do quests, so you're broke. It's a fundamental flaw. Maybe you're just some shitter who has to kill everything he sees, but more advanced players can use the movement skills to make do.

So what's the story with these niggas? What's their deal? For what purpose were they created?

And where's the others? I only remember seeing one other near where you get the Architect Crest.
>>
>>723018683
I think they're robot musicians that were supposed to be part of the citadel's music shit, maybe originally supposed to play the giant organ before Phantom was put in charge, it even kinda looks like it's trying to play piano or something while it fights
there's a bunch in the area with the 12th architect aren't there?
>>
>>723018869
Huh, I guess I could buy that but then how did Fourth end up in the Deep Docks? He obviously fell there due to some kinda cave in, but it's clear he wasn't in Citadel at the time it happened. By logic he had to have been hanging around in Far Fields, or Hunter's March before he got fucked up. Maaaaybe Greymoor but that's a stretch.

There's a rosary braid machine at the start of Greymore by the entrance when you reach the new area after getting a new floaty cloak. From there you can run straight into an area with a bunch of rosary dropping enemies and then run 3 seconds through 1 more area to the Halfway Home inn to rest and repeat the process. I did that for an hour and spent up to Act 2 with a full deck of Rosary braids (20 x 60). Found a couple new shops in Act 2 so I gotta do it over and go to Bellhart to get those 120 rosary necklaces drawn up.

meanwhile architect and wanderer outdps it AND have silk available to deal even more damage in the case of wanderer.
>>
>>723001575
Wouldnt say its bad but i think its boring, when you learn to play the other crests they are hella fun, wanderer crit is nice, hunter focus meter is fun, beast is fun for challenging yourself, i beat karmelita with beast crest just for shit and giggles and it made the fight a lot of fun, same with the sands one
the other ones i have yet to do the same, mostly because you get them so late in game

Yeah I don't know what to tell you. Phantom just hit me a lot in general and the whole fight just irritated me probably due to me being an impatient faggot.

if you get a major benefit from a damageboost that takes 6 and 12 hits to activate and gets lots on taking one damage you're already playing basicalyl hitless.

Wanderers has the same thing with crits just better, for no reason, doesn't even need the damage and it's got enough silkconomy to outheal many bosses

All this talk about crests but I think the most disappointing thing is that the witch crest exists but fan artist seem to not care about the potential in the fact that Hornets is now canonically part tentacle monster.

That's dumb, because you can still see the tentacles in her heal attack thing

It's not an abortion, it's a domestication. Or perhaps we can call it a sort of reverse mind break where the tentacles get broken by the girl instead of the other way around.

>>723032901
You don't even have to use it to know that. When asked about it, Hornet literally says that the parasite is still within her, she was just able to take control of it.

Reaper is the only crest without a real offensive upside aside from base hunter, and since it has slower attack speed you're going to be doing significantly less damage unless you actually make really good use of your silk gain on more silk skills rather than just stocking more for healing. There's nothing wrong with using any crest, but lacking both speed and damage forces you to play slow, and trying to take the gameplay too slow and methodical is the main reason I see people struggle with the difficulty.
It's mostly just a trap because people uncomfortable with spacing their attacks gravitate to it for the range, and the lower damage makes those players suffer way harder, especially in arena fights which are very common
>>

Did you all beat all endings of Hollow Knight or did you jump into Silksong after beating Radiance and watched the rest on youtube? asking because I am nearing that part of the game and I really want to just go into Silksong already man. The game is fun I give you that, but having to beat the bosses all over in Godmaster sounds like a chore.
>>
>>723038814
>beating Radiance
Bold assumption of you because I quit HK after 86% or so
>>
>>723038814
Godhome content has only like two references in Silksong (though they are pretty major), so for the most part you could pretty safely skip to straight to it after the vanilla Hollow Knight's original true ending. Playing Godhome does prepare you for the bullshit Silksong hits you with, though there's nothing as insane as Pantheon of Hallownest (at least until the madlad Aussies give us similar DLC).
>>
>>723039372
Which I'm sure they will given there is locations on the bell beast and Chute charts that don't have fast travel points.
>>
>>723038814
I played four hours of Hollowknight and skipped straight into Silksong. No regrets, it was an improvement right out of the gate and I definitely would've burned out on it had I played the entirety of HK first.

>>723039915
Problem with the original HK is that for the most part the game is pretty easy and chill and possibly a bit too mild for many people during early mid-game, then it suddenly hits you with massive difficulty spikes like Trial of Fool, Path of Pain or Pantheons. Silksong in comparison starts out more challenging from the word go and gradually ramps up the difficulty as you go along, though so far (before future DLC) it doesn't get as bullshit as the original game's final boss rush mode.

The biggest thing that fucked me with LL was the random repositioning (contact damage) and parry. Otherwise it's not too hard. Actually I think the subsequent phases are easier than the first one since all the new attacks have long wind ups, are easy to dodge and give you ample time to get free hits in.
