At the beginning there is hidden path to your right leading to breakable statue with shards, you have to jump on hidden platform.
Free download no virus?
>>537900945skidrow has linksThere is actually another hidden path at the ceiling after you follow >>537900636 . It leads to monster that can rekt you with 2-3 hits.
>An error was encountered while processing your request:>There was an error trying to load your shopping cart. Please try again later.thanks for overload the server
Beast at hidden path 2 dies after +/- 10 attacks, hit it few times when it's asleep and run to the left to move to hidden path 1 to avoid it's rollout attack, after 3 growls the beast goes back to its initial position, go back, hit him once and escape to the left, repeat until he dies.
>>537900328I never played the first game
Hidden path 3 that leads to shards at the top of the rock shelf.
If you kill the bell beast the bug who sells the map stuff moves.... my plan was to buy stuff from her after. fukoda
Why can't I buy the game?
>>537903029still looking for her...
There is platform down there you cant see here, Jump and hug the left wall to land on it.
Yep, it's gaming time.>>537904231I bought it from Humble Bundle and got a key just now to redeem on Steam.
Cool game, just finished prologue. Love the gibberish speech of characters.
2 hours later I still can't buy the game
No more downward slash. You get diagonal lunge instead. What a piece of shit.
>>537907478https://www.humblebundle.com/store/hollow-knight-silksongIf you're on PC they still have Steam keys here. Bypasses the Steam store.
is it possible?feels like you need two bounces but you can't really get it off a single charge
>no audio slider for hornet noisesseriously?
what does r3 do besides look flashy? It uses 1 silk so I assume there's a function
>>537900328Holy shit this game is dogshit, you can't even move in three dimensions
transexual videogame
The hornet noises are a bit annoying
>>537907832Fuck you I am enjoying this
I played Hollow Knight for few hours maybe, were the original keyboard controls also so shit? I don't remember that but this is genuinely unplayable. Guess I'll go dig out my old PS4 controller.
>>537900328Game said it supports DX10, but it has a dx12 file and crashes when I try to run it. Any way to fix? My fossil doesn't support DirectX 12
stuck in farfields right side..cant get out
>>537919862Checked more, and I see there was an error "GpuFence::Create(): Failed to create ID3D11Fence, error 0x80070057"
What the fuck do I spend shards on? I'm maxed out.
There are too many threads on /v/ I don't know where to ask so I'll do it here. Do we know if it's a prequel or sequel yet?
We won.
I played the first one but got bored after a few hours.Are you really stuck with the same weapon for the rest of the game? No hammers, no magic guns, anything?
>2 secret areas within first minute of the gamedoes it keep being that dense?
not funny
I have 250 shell shards, is donating to bone bottom a good idea?
Is there a purpose to this crumbling platform?It just hangs under the ceiling not leading to anything.I thought it may be a platform for a later movement skill like Crystal Charge of HK1 but there is nothing across the map from it either.
>>537933231assuming you didn't do it already, the only other thing I have found them to be used for is as ammo for a shuriken type attack. get 12 ammo per rest then when you rest again it takes from the bone shard supply. also there's a cap of 400 anyway, might as well spend them
>>537900328YURI GAME!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SymnW76uI8 (3:54 timecode)
we are so back
>>537900945El Amigos is usually solid.
Damn, I'm getting raped by Lace.>>537912837You can turn it off.
Without spoilers major spoilers, prequel, sequel, or something else?If sequel, any reference to which ending?Is it good?
>>537940371Lost to her once, beat her ass second try. Don’t get greedy, usually one or two hits per opening (besides stagger of course). Jumping+dashing immediately after hitting her will dodge most of her moves. The slam is an excellent opening, dash out if you need, dash in the second she touches down to punish. Super fun boss.
in the far fields, where's the map girl?is it a small cave with a ring at the door right after those two red dudes?I immediately fell into the right side and had to get the spines and I fought the boss but now I can't find where she is to get the map am I fucked?
Why are cutscenes fps locked? Can i fix that?
I'm alive with zero hp.Fix the fucking game TC.
>>537945170Hornet's flame has gone out...
>>537945170speaking of, I was able to air dash 3x in a row without landing. I haven't been able to replicate it though
>>537945170how the hell did you bug it like thatare you just immortal or one tap?
>>537946574I took lethal damage at the same time as I dealt the final hit in one of those challenge rooms where you get slow-motion upon killing the final enemy. Maybe it was on the exact same frame or something?>are you just immortal or one tap?I don't know, I sat down on the bench.
>>537940371How, she was one of the easiest so far.
>>537945170Average unity game>>537931463Go into the wall to disable it.
>>537900945gog-games
What the actual fucking fuck is this whole section? I feel like suddenly the difficulty ramped up by like 1000%.
Controller or keyboard?
>>537953609Definitely keyboard, it is much more comfier to control the "dive kick" pogo with discrete buttons.A leverless hitbox is also an option
>>537907832You can unlock downward slash later.
Phwoop.
diagonal is pretty fun, you don't pogo but you have to anticipate the movement, the red flower parkour is pretty easy, much easier than parkour in HK
>stuck on big red fuckergod I suckits painful with no dash
I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH THIS BUG NOW!
why did I thought playing this game with a keyboard and not a controller was a good idea...
oh, I got the downward slashIs it worth it? It says short, swift attacks, does it really mean it's faster but you get less range?
Hi all, I have never played these games before, but how come people are saying that you can explore in this game and there's an interesting plot? Isn't it literally a 2D platformer not an RPG? or does it have RPG elements?
>>537949364Yea this version seems solid
>>537960054there are upgrades like any metroid game but not like stats or levelling up. there's some build variety in the form of charms, though.
>>537960606ah! interesting
>>537943652On that ledge in Bonebottom, there’s a disc you can ring to summon map girl. She’ll sell you the map there if you’ve already killed Chorus.
can the needle be upgraded?
I saw some screenshots from an indie game in very early development that looked like a total ripoff of Hollow Knight in art style, character proportions, color palette, etc. but the main character was some sort of vaguely owl-based creature (I think). The game visually looked more interesting than Hollow Knight, though. The game won't be out for a long time if ever so I don't have any reason other than my OCD to want to know the name of it. Does anyone know?
>>537958079literally just jump on his head
It was good while it lasted. See ya around lads
Does Silksong on Switch 2 allow for ultrawide support?
The savage beastfly has me raging and Im not usually one to get pissy at video games. This fight blows so much and is honestly making me not want to play the game. The fact that 4-5 hours into the game every boss is doing 2-3 masks of dmg is retarded.
I'm trying to buy it on GoG and it's not working, are their servers still being slammed?
Where is the downward dash?
Sex
Can someone tell me where the fuck the map seller in the 4th area went? She's the one that sits on the ground and she fucked off before I could buy anything.
I'm donefinishedtoo smoothbrained for this shitI can't make it up the ladder of red balls>>537964179that worked, thank you anon
>>537971127That area is optional. Come back when you have a downward bounce
wait, in order to use the alt movesets like the reaper crest, you need to give up your heal spell? in its place, you get a 3 second buff spell that gives you a period where you gain half a silk pip? this seems especially retarded so im really hoping someone can tell me im just being stupid and not seeing the button to assign the heal back on, cause i really like the moveset.
bwo... this got R-rated
>touchpad on DS4 controller is fucked up>for some reason they INSIST on having inventory being the touchpad instead of select like normal and forcing me to use DS4windows just for this stupid faggot reasonOH MY GOD FUCK YOU
>>537972062oh thank god, it just adds on that buff on top of the heal. i was being stupid and testing it on the birds so i just kept getting hit out of the heal
I fucking hate the crow zoneI hate having areas where you're locked, bosses you can't back out of without losing your shit, an infuriating parkour section by itself, and it's filled with enemies that distance themselves so far you literally just have to wait to get one attack in every 10 seconds
>this lack of movement options and attacksHoly fuck why did Hollow Knight pop off so hard but not Momodora IV? Literally everything is better, even the "soulslike" difficulty curve.
Busy watching a movie marathon about car sex, I wanna know how many movesets Hornet has, I only got the one
>>537958079You gotta stick close to it, youre not dodging that half room cleave jump by running away. Running under it lets you shove your nail up his ass like 3 times
Pulled a lever that removed the floor and died on the path above, now I can't make my way to my corpse. 300 rosaries. Hate Greymoor.
Where are all upgrades? Still wandering around greymoor with the base nail and 5 masks.
>>537974407did you buy and use the simple key?
I think what I hate about Silksong (aside from the 45 degree down attack and the wonky hitboxes and..) is how claustrophobic it feels. Every area feels uncomfortably tight. It's like every fucking screen is Deepnest.
>>537975156>boss dashes to the other end of the arena>is now unlit so you have to guess what he's gonna do
>>537953573this section is driving me insane. Between the platforming sections that all have punish spikes below and the several new and tough enemies, I'm getting destroyed. and yes I WILL git gud this just seems like an extreme difficulty spike that honestly isn't very fun
>>537953573did you get your sprint? its your dash button too. the combat seems more about dashing in since enemies love to backstep. the ants cant deal with air dashes either.
What's the appeal of this game, never played the first one cause it looked like all the other indie platformers
>>537977672combat feels good, platforming has its moments, and the atmosphere is genuinely unmatched. Epitome of cozy and has a really strong story.
What am I missing with this fucker
>>537958240you can have hornet, brother. i've found my wife
Is this weird ass white ghost pregnant? Wtf
>>537977983he looks big so you think that you can pogo him to death. wrong. he punishes that. use your dodges, if you engage him frontally he really only does two things: swing at you or jump over you (he'll also go underground sometimes, but that move doesn't affect much). dodge away from him when he swings at you, dodge toward him when he jumps at you (you will go under him).
>>537978256are YOU pregnant?
>>537977902I think I'm just not a fan of these types of games I pirated it and am still disappointed
>>537977983gun him down from within the tunnel
>>537978367>use your dodgesMy what?
>>537900328Actually fuck this boss>loves to charge in the middle of the screen, leading to unavoidable damage>spams summons of 3 extremely annoying enemies,>Fought in a tiny arena>Does 2 masks of damagewhat the fuck were they thinking?
>>537979193if you tap sprint, you do a little dash. i'm calling it a dodge, you can use it midair. it's incredibly useful for slipping out of the range of enemy attacks after getting damage in.
boner bottomdeep cocks
>>537979454I meant that as in>You can dodge?I guess I fought that boss earlier than I should, since Bell Beast nor Moss Mother didn't need me to dodge.
I currently have to farm 25 spine cores, but what the fuck are Hokers? I got five so far randomly from slapping different enemies very sparsly.How the fuck do I farm this shit?
>>537979927the things that shoot spines when you hit them, hit the spines they shoot and you will collect them
holy shit the movement in this game is bad. 7 years and it never came up that hornet feels slow as hell and the 45-degree dive sucks to use?talking about the difficulty is completely moot, this game just isn't fun to move around in, which is kinda fucking important for a platformer
>>537980285it gets a lot better when you get the dash, and you can unlock alternate movesets, one of which is the hollow knight 1 moveset with the downwards attack
>>537979251Hes kind of RNGHave fun if he summons two big bugs off the rip
>>537980285The sprint is fun, but I don't know if I like the 45 degree dive compared to the first one.
>>537981338The big ones are easy to dodge, the small ones combo with him and lead to unavoidable damage
Anyone know where the Apostate key is in this dogshit area?Combed the whole thing and cant find it.
>changed to kb+m>everything just works (tm) there's something deeply wrong by holding both arms on the keyboard and not resting them on F and Jas a bonus my little finger is no longer molested by weird placement
>>537979251honestly, too many bosses do 2 damage on everything. I wish there were big attacks who do 2 and smaller attacks which does 1, like just walking into the enemy or dashing into a dude who uses a weapon which swings for 2smaller, quicker enemies that do 1 hit and bosses like lace that do 1 with most attacks and 2 with special are way universally better imo
why didn't anyone tell them that aerial falcon kick is a bad move that i've never ever felt pleasure using?just made it to hunter's march and lost all desire to play :(
>>537981338>>537981338>>537982526I BEAT THE FUCKER 2 HOURS ON THIS SHITHEADLET"S FUCKING GO
I died and now I can't recover my thing because it's in an area that I don't have access to yet what the fuck.
>if you hold dash you move quicker than normal>while sprinting you jump higher, so you don't need to jump -> dash for bigger gapsI wish there was some in-game movement guidediscovering the world is fine, but I'd like to know what my options are
>>537982917just turn back. i slammed my head into the hunter's march arena fight for about an hour in the early game. come back when you have some nice tools, the little spike trap does numbers in those arena battles
i'm fucking hardstuck on those bullshit watcher knights what a dogshit fight
what's the point of this green thing? it doesn't seem to work as the last silk spool
>>537983726thats the druid charm, when you get hit you get half a green bar, which means you get 1 bar after 2 damage
>>537983528not stucki just did a triple bounce off the red thingys and felt compelled to alt+f4>frontloading your game with the worst ability in 2d platformingbold move
Am I meant to go Far Fields after Deep Docks?

How slow this thread moves is proof of just how astroturfed(in other places) this mid ass game is being
>>537985814well fuck methanks
>haha the death shaft isn't actually a death shaftok this is just silly
>>537963502https://store.steampowered.com/app/2395770/Never_Grave_The_Witch_and_The_Curse/This is the one made by the palworld devs. Found it by looking for "pocketpair hollow knight" lol.
>>537980285I don't know about others, but I find the diagonal dive very fun to use.
>>537985882Yesterday's discussion thread on /v/ was very active
why does every boss have flying adds?
>>537900945Is the steamrip one legit?
>>537900328which area vendor lets u upgrade pouch size
>>537986997>upgrade pouch sizeput it down fatty
>>537986718Flying adds or does 2 masks of damage or both
Sister Fister can kill herself holy shit
>>537987582the shellwood boss? yeah she kicked my assthe reward is SO worth it
sprint actually making you sprint when you hold it is so fucking weird for some reason, I die all the time because of itlike it's objectively good in that it lets you move around quickly and jump further but sweet fuck it feels like suicide mode
>>537979251Stay near the walls. He will always stop if he hits the wall charging horizontally, he only goes back and forth if you're in the middle of the room.You can get him to kill his own adds with his vertical charges.Once you realize these two things the fight becomes much easier.
>haha the whole game was (you) unleashing an ancient horror that kills literally everyonewow very cool, it really subverted my expectationsniggers
Whats a good rosary farm? Ive had to actually skip several things already and it doesnt feel good
>>537988967For early game there's those three pilgrims right outside of the right exit of the halfway house in the cave. nets ~29 beads for like 2 seconds of walking and you can use your silk spear to insta gib them every other runback since they're all in a line
I might be delusional, so maybe someone here can corroborate, but I'm pretty sure that I was able to knock Lace into the lava during my first fight with her. Is that even possible, or is my dementia ridden brain constructing memories out of nothing?
Anyone else managed to accidentally skip the Lace fight ?Went exploring everywhere and triggered a cutscene near Greymoor where she shows up and taunts me to come to the CitadelThen went to Deep Docks sometime later and the boss fight didn't trigger
Thoughts on the Beast Crest?
>>537956490I thought so. Joysticks never made sense in 2d games, kb felt much more precise.But now i'm mixing up buttons and missing stuff. Seems i got old and rusty.
>>537991389>But now i'm mixing up buttons and missing stuff. Seems i got old and rusty.the default keyboard controls are abysmal I tried pic related for now, might switch around some stuff later or move more to mouse but at least it's actually playable
>>537989643it is possible but she jumps out a moment later, it's not an OHKO
>>537900328 I dont know what triggers it but resting at the bench in Bellhart and exiting the game can cause Hornet to join the strung up villagers and free herself
>>537990815i think its shit tier solely cause of that horrid down attack angle
>>537990815I would rate it mid but after that abysmal dogshit fight against the savage beastfly for it it's not worth it at all
>>537979251stay on the ground as much as you can. being in the air makes his charge attack trajectories really unpredictable. this fucker walled the shit out of me. >summons a fly>both the boss and the fly charge on top and bottomthanks
>>537979251>>537994243The boss either needs to lose the adds or only do 1 damage
>>537988257the real good shit is air dashing. godsend mobility in and out of combat.
>>537993012>it's not an OHKOYeah, I know. I just thought it was funny. I just started second guessing my own experience when I watched a bunch of gameplay of the fight and didn't see it happen.
>>537990557i opened the door for the rhino but didnt fight it cause i was at 1hp after that guantlet. when i rested and returned to it, it was gone. probably wouldnt drop anything missable but i did wanna fight it
sex with insects -the game
>>537900328>Boss deals 2 masks of damage and has flying summons that take 4 hits to killGOTY
why the fuck does everything do 2 damage what the fuckat least wait until i have seven hearts
>>537994573someone on their dev team got into a drunken fist fight one evening but was attacked by a flock of seagulls midway. now he considers flying adds to be humanity's greatest adversary and must put them in every fight.
>>537994786I hope whoever added sister splinter to the game gets fired
>>537994870>summons not one but TWO seagulls
>>537994759Don't forget the adds that take up to 4 hits to killHOW DO I UPGRADE MY NAIL I SWEAR TO GOD

Anyone know where to find the boomerang?>>537994870The next boss is so much worseI don't know why they made the game so fucking hard. I beat the original with some effort but I managed. In this, I feel like I'm being punished for playing the game
>>537995623you know where that one ninja npc in that room with the statue? in the empty room across from it and above the bench room, theres a hidden merchant.
>pay 30 geo every time you want to go in>oh and btw there's a merchant insideburn this misbegotten kingdom to the ground

>>537992469I'm gonna try this, using the arrow keys is killing my right wrist.
I'm stuck at Bellhart, I reached the Citadel's gate but need to free Bellhart to progress nowanyone knows how? I know there's some undeground area in Bellhart but there's nothing thereI beat every boss so far I think
jfc that white bug with a rapier in the lava area is overtuned. I can get past the annoying combo mechanics on a small arena with lava on the sides, but her health is kind of crazy high. 4+ lances, 12 throwing darts, and a lot of normal attacks wasn't enough to finish her. I think she stunned and ult'd twice.
>>537999831there's a weird jump in shellwood you need to jump to the platform which is directly above the lower one
>>538000307>jfc that white bug with a rapier in the lava area is overtunedyou can't mean the first fight with lace...right?
>>538000652yes, lace. it's not that bad but getting parried into lava on the first attempt was annoying and the limited platform size along with her constant dashing made healing opportunities limited.
>>538000307Gotta get your dps up, she has some decent health but you get 1-2 hits very easily between pretty much every attack she does.
>>538000478thanks bro, I was doing some wishes will try soon
>>538000307for what it's worth:her parry does 2 damagelava does 2 damageshe parries more often in her final phaseshe follows every successful parry up with an ult in her final phase (this is likely assured death unless you get lucky and you can dash escape)there's plenty of heal opportunities after most of her attacks as long as you heal immediately and you're prepared to jump out of her next attack
Not seeing a reason to keep the compass off.
>>537996148Yeah, what's up with this shit?>>537986209It's more like Dead Cells knockoff.
>>537983415bit miffed you still can't hit jump and dash without windup to do a dash jump like megaman x
>>537967978You get it when you get second crest and equip it. Already forgot where I found it.
just started. i did a pogo jump past this area (above bone town, left of the map seller) and got to the miniboss that vomits on you from the ceiling.i ran past it, found the locked door & the mask shard, then the vomit killed me on my way out- is it worth it to try to kill the ceiling vomit enemy?- is it worth it to grind 500 rosaries for a key to open the door?the pogo jump to get there was easy so i assume this is only a minor sequence break, but i don't want to waste time on something i'm not prepared for
Am I the only one who cannot fucking stand the diagonal shit? Is there a reliable way to make Hornet turn around after bouncing off of something?
>>538008979the classic downward slash is through that area
Shakra a cute.Anyone else get the Needolin yet? You can make every NPC sing, even the bellbeast, it's cute.
she cute

Has anyone found a smaller, cheaper, faster heal charm yet?
is this the hong kong general
>>537979251I really really wanted to enjoy this game but the artstyle looks retarded and deep down this is just a nintendo tier platformer game
What crest are (You) using?
I can't get used to Hornet's dive jump attack.
>>538012284I keep doing diagonal inputs on reflex and getting side slashes.
>>538012284I just hate that you have to commit to a direction, when that's clearly not what the game wants. It expects you to turn on a dime during platforming, and you just can't. It's too janky.
>>538012446Same.
>>538008979You can kill the vomiting mole by hiding under the platform, waiting for his attack to cease and then quickly jump on the platform, slash him once and hide under the platform. Repeat 20-30 times.
>fuck ass bird nest cage fightI HATE
The game definitely wants me to be more bold when attacking bosses, but it's kinda hard to do that when you're dead in three hits.
there's an unusual but appreciated amount of naked hornet in this game.
>>538008887it's in the grave/chapel at the start of the game, left of the bone village or something
>>537979846I beat him without sprint or whatever the other anon is talking about.You have to stay just in the sweetspot range to be able to move in a little for 1 or 2 hits then move back just a little to react to if he's going to swing or jump at you.If he's about to swing you either have to have pretty good positioning and move away or slightly easier is to jump away, you can dodge the more horizontal swing's hitbox with a jump.If he is going to jump at you, you just walk towards and under him.I'm clearly getting old because the reaction time to.. React to those tells seemed a little tight, but it's doable. If you misjudge a tell you just eat shit.
>>537900328wtf is that last judge runback dude.
can an enterprising bug get some payday loans around here?

Who else out here FUCKING HATING GREYMOOR
wait that fucking moth just fucks off if i find the fleas before killing it? fuck that boss
anyone else reached ||bilewater|| ?am i missing something or is the whole area just cancer? if you touch the water you just die or is there something to cleanse
just realized I skipped a boss because I entered Greymoor from Bellhart's side. Well I did enter from the Far Fields but I didn't reach the boss, I went and explored Mosshome which led to Wormways and I got to Bellhart from there.Only realized there was supposed to be a boss there when I watched a streamer play it. Whoops
Does this stupid fucking merchant really require 30 rosaries just to enter his shop or did I miss some sort of switch in there to keep the door open?
I'm still early in the game, just got to the deep docks.Am I supposed to be at the 400 shell shard cap for a while before I have any use for it? I donated 200 to the quest board guy and that's it. Haven't found any way to craft tools or whatever yet. Already wasted a bunch of shard pickups because of the cap.
>>538020145Pilgrims rest? Yeah no 30 to see him every time its fucked I thought it was 1 time, came in with exactly enough for that crest slot and got fucked.
>>538020209Yeah don't worry about it just keep going. You'll see. Though remember to check the quest board every now and then, some of those ask for them.
>10 hours in and already at last area (citadel)Well that was disappointing. I thought they were making a 60 hour game? What the fuck were they doing for 8 years.
>>538020414one of the achievements is "complete the game in under 30 hours", so they must've have that much content at leasthave you been doing everything?
>>538020414have you actually been exploring in the game or you just rushed to the end?
>>538020682>>538020558Stop feeding the dumbass he's either lying or skipped most of the content.
>>538020145>>538020261Break the gears above the door inside.
is there a legit way to fight the Craggler, the ceiling shit before Wormways or is the cheesy way of hit and run the intended route?
>>538020936Oh shit nice. Thanks.
>have to stop boss attempts to go grind more shell shardsOh boy I can see this getting old.
oh look it's another area with no enemies dropping bells and multiple benches+bellway to pay forwho thought this was a good design
does every attack truly need to hit for 2 hp?
>>538021407Yo I'm getting fucked by him too. Need to go grind more shards for traps.
>>538020739>>538020558>>538020682yeah been to every area and fought every boss before this and explored full map. Its short man. Hollow knight took me 64 hours to beat I was expecting same length for this.
>>538021507>trapsdishonest gameplay
Is Sting Shard really that good when you get it right on top of the enemy or am I being tricked by how good it feels seeing it hit multiple times? I've been skipping other tools to keep using it.
I'm getting black screen during some cutscenes, like the fast travel. It was fine before, because it would eventually load in. But now I encountered it when getting the cloak upgrade, and even though I waited, it never progressed beyond the black screen. Anyone else got this problem?
>>538021535See you're saying this but I'm at 8 hours and am only in Greymoor.
Where are the purple flowers in the Moss area? I've only found two so far.>>537987582She's really annoying, but doesn't have much HP and the silk explosion thing can oneshot the adds and the thorns.
It's setting in. You're starting to feel it.The game just isn't that good.
>>537904675ring the metal thing in starter town, she'll come
>>538021836see heres my map. every area is done
>>538021952yeah its not hollow knight quality. feels like it lacks soul and depth and content. Feels like a hollow knight dlc (which is what it started as)
is the 80 to 60 rosary worth it? it's so much money wasted
>>538022102Hollow Knight wasn't even that good to begin with...why did this need a sequel again?
>>538022272I do agree hollow knight isn't that good, but this is better than hollow knight
>>538021952mind control powers will not work if you don't wiggle your fingers and go woOoOoOoo
>>538022376>No horizontal slashing>Awkward dogshit platforming>No real story>No real loreNo.
>>538021972lol
>>538022241Depends on the area/what you're trying to do. I'm using it a lot in Greymoor just because everything is kicking my ass.>>538021952Nah I'm good.
>>538021972Oh you're just a fucking idiot.
the downward slash made hollow knight 1 too easy except in the hardest bosses and pantheons. the diagonal version is a breath of fresh air for both platforming and combat. also charms were retarded, the new crest/skill/tool system is way better.
>>538022834>diagonalAgreed, except it should also pick u pans work with diagonal inputs.>new charmNah. Punishes you for wanting QoL charms too much.
>>538021306Yea Im laughing my ass off at anons being>Hurr I cant ever run out of shell shardsThe light your sword on fires like 20-30 fucking shards
>>538021972ay yo this nigga hasnt even been to the SLAG
>>538021972you're missing at least one zone
>>538021972This is like calling HK done after dreamers.
I am so fucking done with Hunter's March.>no healing>no benches>cancer parkour>damage sponge enemies
>>538025064where the fuck is the nail upgrade anywaycraftmetal exists so surely there should be upgrades for it?
>>538025571Craftmetal is for tools.
Anyone else, as soon as they find a new merchant, go find the nearest bench and grindable enemy (who usually only gives like five fucking rosaries) to grind for like half an hour just to clear a shop full of stuff you aren't even going to use?
the people complaining about hunters march are NOT ready for sinner's and bile
>got dash and slowfall>no double jump>broke as fuck, can't even buy benches in shellwood, much less the 500 geo keys>no idea how to to anything in bellhart>need double jump or climbing or whatever for shellwood, which I don't have>could theoretically go into wormways but it feels like I should do other stuff firstjust about the only thing I'm sure I left open is hunter's march updraft place. What else am I missing?
i can't believe using npcs in battle actually helps you out, this guy was able to kill the boss for me
>>538027064I don't think you need double jump for shellwood, I'm currently trying a boss at the top of it and I only have the dash and glide
>>538027234bro you're reaper's crest pogo?
>>538027492Do I find that in reaper's chapel because I hate this place.
>>538027956yeswdym? it's one of the very few areas I oneshot, nothing is really dangerous there
am i missing something with shards? i reached 400 shards 3 hours in and i still dont find something to spend them on, i lost a ton because of the cap you buy everything with the other thing
Dive attack on Lace is clearly bait.
>>538028125it's an extra attack possibility but I also found it rather whateveryou can donate 200 at the wishing wall in bone bottom for... i'm not really sure if you get anything
>>538028050I just keep fucking up inputs and side slashing instead of diving, I've been doing it all game. I keep pushing diagonals.
>>538025704it's understandable if nail upgrades are entirely gone so enemy health is easily comparable and grinding geo and finding pale ore for the next upgrade could take a while, but they went and made every creature on earth take at least 3 hits to kill and often much more than that, and geo drops are limited to certain enemies now so farming is really tedious
>>538028125Keep playing dude you've barely started. You use them for all the tools.>>538028198No? Dive attack is one of the best things you can do it most boss fights.
>>538027064There are just 3 powerups pre-cidatel, you already got 2, the last one is at shellwood.I haven't seen double jump yet and I've been a while on act 2.
>>538028125they're currency for tools, you use them whenever you sit on a bench to replenish your tool stock
why is everything so expensiveoh you want a bench? that'll be 80 beads, which is what you got in total over the last fucking hour
>>538015849Nah, the time to react while in the sweetspot is pretty short, but you definitely can beat him without dodges. Though he definitely seems designed around them.
Beat Lace, but it felt like I was being pulled into her riposte half the time.
>your default down attack goes diagonal and not straight down>game is filled with platforms that require you to hit directly under you>can easily over or under shoot it and just miss entirelywhose idea was this?
>boss hits the dedicated healing break and is stunned on the floor>somehow contact with him still hits you for 2 hpbut whythis is just dickish
I think I may be stuck.
>>538030994collect spikes from floating monsters to complete quest
I think you should be forced to pass a captcha where you have to spend 30 seconds straight jumping off a single wall in Super Metroid before you're allowed to post about metroidvanias. Some of you people are helpless or need new controllers.
oh fuck off
>>538031060That's what I get for charging ahead.
He's literally me...
>>538030238change crest
Is reaper the best crest?
If Hornet isn't a void why is her body completely black like one? In fact why is almost every bug body solid black under their shells making them look just like the vessel. Or is it that vessels are made to look virtually indistinguishable from normal bugs like replicants?
>>538031606it depends (tm)
shakra singing is kinda annoyingya boi quirrel was harder to find but i liked him better
>>538031606quick heals with fast attack juice
>>538031372you can break the vines
>>538032026in the last phase it certainly seems like they respawn within secondsif you aim the hit incorrectly you're bounced by the attack into a vine and rip
>>538031992It doesn't help that you can clearly tell she has an ethnic voice
>>538032014>quick healsare you referring to the silk balls that drop from hitting the enemies? Or am I missing something else
>Oh of course this boss also does 2 damage per hit.
Oh my fucking god you mean the charm slot upgrades are unique for each crest fuck my life.
>>538032170she also breaks her own vines and kills her own adds if she attacks near them
>>538032409are the charms even any good? so far the druid thing that gives you half a silk on taking damage and compass/magnet are probably the only 'useful' ones I have, but their utility is rather marginalin comparison you do get some nifty spells and movement abilities
>>538032694So far no, I'm just pissed that I wasted them all when I like Reaper crest more. And a little annoyed I can't have compass + magnet at the same time again.
>>538027234>boss charges with the whirlwind blade, does 2 dmgfair>boss just randomly flies through the area, does 2 dmg??>boss spews a bunch of saw blades, which for some godforsaken reason stop your movement so you get hit twice for 1hpyea silksong can shit off, it's just unnecessary

>>538033221I'm not using mechanical mods on a first run.

>>538033323>"I sure wish I could have X">"this does precisely X">"waaaaahhhhh"ok
>>538033472Because I will be able to do X eventually I just can't right now because I fucked up. I'm not gonna mod out every minor inconvenience like a little bitch.
I LOVE GETTING STUNLOCKED DOUBLEHIT
Where is Hornet keeping the rest of her eyes?
Game seems pretty short - just beat the Widow and am probably around 80%.
>>538033004getting the health upgrade makes this even worse since it does nothing
>>538034178Yeah the first health upgrade taking you from dying in 3 hits to bosses to dying in 3 hits to bosses sucks ass.
>>538034178>take a single dumb dink from some shitass mob because you were running to the boss for the 12th time>"do I hunt down little shits to juice up or start boss at 4 hp (2 attacks)?"on a more practical note, you go 6>4>2>5 on 1st heal instead of 5>3>1>4 so you can get hit once more after first heal
bruh where's the fucking charms? it's all garbage
>map lady’s bench in Greymoor moves with herfuck my life I leave to do one thing and now the run back doubles in length
why does every boss need adds?why does every add need a stunlocking middle-of-the-screen shredder?
>>538009150>it's realholy based i assumed you were trolling
what the best bead farm rn?
>>538035802it's all yours my friend :)
there are two doors that need keys, but the bone bottom vendor only sells onehas anyone opened the deep docks door? or found another key?the mosshome/top of bone bottom key opens to the bone graveyard where you get the classic downward slash
>void crestwe hollow hornet nao
>Fourth ChorusI sure do love jumping and not having enough time to dodge falling lava
>>538038434Fourth chorus was fun though.
That boss above the secrets bug is kind of rough, guessing a weapon upgrade or a movement tool will make the fight more manageable. His hit box feels like it is just too large to really get away without a dash or something. Went on and met the smith, I've bought/found 2 upgrade widgets so I'm farming some beads while thinking about which upgrades to grab. So far pretty fun, been about 3 or so hours. Haven't been frustrated yet, just the usual "I should probably come back here later" stuff.
>>538038434you get a lot of horizontal speed even on the glider, I don't think that really happened to me
contact damage is the biggest bullshit in this game fuck thisboss randomly jumps middle -2 i guess
>>538038843Hah, just found the dash, lets try that fucker again.
>>538039864Yeah, after playing Nine Sols contact damage feels so awful.
God do I hate the Chapel of the Beast.
I've played for about 30 minutes and the game has crashed twice on meAudio starts bugging out and just repeating over and over and when I go to go change location I get stuck in an infinite load until I get bored and tab out and the game crashesGuess I won't be playing the bug game
>>538041262>hello i have a single 2gb ram stick
Touchpad sensitivity is insane with this game.
wtf am I supposed to do on Widow's second phase?
>>538042608what you've been doing but faster essentially. save your tools for that final push for some damage you dont have to chase down
wheres the knight guy? i agreed to help him with his hunt but he fucked off somewhere
>>538042801yeah, I got it, literally spent an hour on this and the very next try after I post it just clicks and she goes from hyperfast spam to quite manageable and fun, lol
Which of the special use tools/weapons/whatever are actually good?
Savage Beastfly is gank trash. It's like something the dark souls 2 developers would create to make the game LE HARD
>>538043880i like threefold pin, you get it along the main progression with the birds
>>538043880I forget the name, but I like the the spike trap you get from the furnace daughter or whatever she's called.
I'm at Weavenest Atla. How do I get to the corridor under the light elevator? shit teleports me instantly to the bottom
Ok I'm having trouble with moorwind. First few stages are ez pz but later is brutal lol.
>everything costs a million rosaries>nothing fucking drops rosaries
finally beat act 1 boss for anyone else struggling get the magma bell from the smith lady
I think a good spot to farm is right after Wormways, the leftmost bench in Shellwood, you get two harpoon fishermen in a straight line, each gives 12 rosaries
>>538043880 silkshot + pollip pouch
>splinterHoly fuck this is a cancer fight.
One of my friends just started playing and these are his first two achies.How the hell?I only found 1 shard in the world in my 6 hours, and seen another shard on a vendor - are there really that many hidden areas with masks this early?
>>538045302use silkspear to kill the adds and vines at the end the fight is only hard because of the spin2win adds
Boss in here? Would rather offload some beads if so.
>>538042973anyone? im talking about the knight and his mount in greymoor.
>>538045485Look on the bottom floors of the second "tower" section. You found him in the first, go left to the second, but not the big open plain.
>>538045473yes, but it doesnt lock the room
>>538045595reloading reset him back to this point. what i should be asking is, what the hell am i leading him to?
>warding bell: shields the bearer as they bind their woundswtf this is op
>>538046141Do you want him to help in the boss fight or not. Don't worry, he can't seem to perma die as far as I can tell, just get stunned.
>>538046329Not as good as you think, you still lose the silk and don't get healed you just don't take damage.
Some old man is peeking on hornet while she’s bathing
Exposing myself here as someone who's never played the original, but does damage dealt ever actually increase?
>>538046627What the fuck happened to their design philosophy from HK. They just decided to make everything fucking annoying and less useful.
>need to farm shards before grinding boss attempts againAlright, that’s enough silksong for now.>>538046765In the first game yes. Apparently not for this one.
>>538046338oh, i just looked it up. theres a boss fight here but i skipped it cause i did the flea caravan quest and it relocated itself into the boss arena. thats a bummer.
>>538046787to be fair, most of the charms in hk1 were dogshitthe interesting ones were strictly less efficient than the basic "nail slightly stronger/longer/faster" ones
Where's best to farm shell shards?>>538047118Huh. Well, glad I didn’t grab the forest flea until after.
>>538046936>In the first game yes. Apparently not for this one.So upgrade materials are just for traps and trap upgrades then? No needle upgrades? I'm still fairly early and just found the smith, was half expecting that I'd need to buy upgrades and use up my materials before the smith would offer to upgrade the needle.
>>538047370Bear in mind I'm only 11 hours, but yeah as far as I can tell you can upgrade your tool damage but not your nail.
>>538047118>>538046338happened to me too, is there a continuation to his quest or does he just help you fight? where do you find him next?
>>538048115Idk, I haven't seen him again yet but I know he shows up again from one of the trailers.
>>538047370>>538046765you can upgrade your damage, it's only after 4 big bosses, and the upgrade isn't that goodyou go from 4-hit kills to 3-hit kills
>>538045774Thank you kindly, dropped down to convert some beads to rosaries to be safe and went back, wasn't expecting that "boss" lol.
I'm gonna get the game either way once I have some free time, but I'd like two questions to set my expectationsIs the movement fun right from the start? HK movement is kinda slow when you replay it from the very start with no upgrades, I assume Hornet has a lot more movement options right at the beginning of the game?And how powerful are the charms? HK had some great fun ones and I just hope they continue that
>>538048507it's a lot more fun to move and you get even better fasterI haven't found any meaningful charms, 12h in, but there are tools now, consumable attacks that refresh on the bench for a price
>>538048507movement starts slow and basic and bland like HK1. you get a good mobility upgrade pretty early thoughcharms have been replaced with a different customization system. i like silksong's system so far but i can't comment on lategame stuff
>>538049290>>538049234Aw, I loved all the charms. Oh well, I guess I'll get over itThanks frens and have fun :)
I'm now at the point where I have no clue what to do or where to go. I've been trying to explore some more risky areas but with little sucess. I still need the song of architects otherwise and I have a hunch what I need to do but still no idea where to find what I need. The slab and the ice area beyond didn't yield any results, Bilewater is gay aids and I can't find a map, and the mist is just empty and there's probably some kind of lost woods shit going on.
>wall gripTHANKFUCKINGGODNow to spend 3 hours back tracking
You guys have played Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound? How does that compare to HK, or is that not a metroidvania?
Resetera is getting filtered by the game.
>>538051927It could be any game, you have to be more specific.
>try kb+m>its ass>change keybinds>its greatfuck controllers, this is so much better
Does the pollip pouch + flintslate add damage over just flintslate? or does it just make it purple instead of orange?
Where the hell is the third thing of plasmium? I found two in the Wormways, but I can't find the third.
>>538049628finally, new area called sands of karak>>538051927there were a handful of areas/fights that were really rough though, I expect many more people getting filtered, especially after Act 1.
>mapmaker moves, lose good Greymoor bench>fleas move, lose good bench for skull tyrant fight (only accessible after you go to the place with the last flea)why
>>538053959>>fleas move, lose good bench for skull tyrant fight (only accessible after you go to the place with the last flea)Huh? I fought him the second I got wallclimb and they were still there
>>538054087I got the last flea as I got wall climb, made the mistake of turning in their quest first and they left.
how do you put ammunition into the cannon
>do the early skip and get the Hollow Knight moveset>the old priestess says "you opened the door without my permission"Oh fuck.
Touching a downed boss' body should not deal damage to you.
>>538055042Yeah had that happen to me a few times fighting splinter. A lot of design choices that are just overly punishing for no real reason.
did the game really need THAT many trap rooms and bosses with double damage that spawn minions
Anyone else think Hornet is really attractive.
>>538055446Was just thinking that picking up the deep docks entrance mask shard. Should have just been a pickup. Nope, locked room with mobs.
>look at other fourth chorus fights on YT>see their hornets attack upPlease tell me I missed a skill...Please don't tell me I'm retarded and that's a base moveset thing...
They should add a wasp girl named spider or some shit.It'd only be fair.
>>537953573Just wait until you reach section where you have to defeat waves of enemies to proceed further.
>>537900328>generalThis won't have consequences down the road, nope
That fencing ojou-sama laughing cunt in the fire area has how many phases?
>>538055687anon... hold up and press attack
I'm so fucking sick of fighting Widow, man. Phase 2 just being phase 1 but 5x faster is not fun.
>>538056156AHHHHHHHHHH
>walking all over the map for hours not knowing where to go>find a boss>spend an hour on it>another retarded crest
Holy shit is that shaw from silksong???
>>538053959Some of these decisions feel like they ran out of QA time
>>538056172Nevermind, all I had to do is whine about it here and I beat it next try. Still, fuck Widow.
When is it my turn to attack in widow phase two?
>boss summons adds>adds also deal two damageriveting design
>>538054256same, did they even give a reward? I didn't notice anything
>All of the crests have the same damage output (Dependant on nail level)>Nail level 2 doubles nail damage>Wanderer has by far the fastest attack speedSo much for Balance
anons, when does hornet say SHAW or HEGALE, ADINO, GARAMA???is there an unlock or something?
>>538057421Neither did I, but apparently if you haven't done the Greymoor boss by the time you hand it in, it kills the boss.
>>538057830dlc for each voice line callout later
>>538057830R3 on control for a garama
>lace can trigger her guard parry faster than you can swingthought i was just mistiming it
>>538057656Prove it.
>>538058896Use it jackass
Every area kinda look the samey. I like the area design from first game better so far
>>538059123hey should have delayed this game for 5 more years
They seem fond of hidden walls and passages in fast travel areas this time around.
>>538058980I only just got the upgrade and only have up to Reaper, jerk.
>Savage beastfly hunt>Just removed all possible platforms for me to stand on and was forced to take damage>Summons adds that deal 2 damage at long range, and take longer than 3 hits to drop>For how huge it is, it loves to make use of the thing pattern 90% of annoying enemies use to keep itself just at enough range for you to miss>It also deals 2 damage on hitWho the fuck thought this was fine?
>>538060308Managed to beat it just now after 5 tries, but from a design perspective, this was 100% the fucking worst boss so far. When it's near death it also just spams summon.
Holy fuck the boss rush dlc is gonna crush my balls. Every fight feels so much more demanding and less forgiving than 90% of HK.
If I use a memory locket on a crest the same slot gets unlocked on the others?
>>538060308Probably made by the same bastard that designed Hunter's March
>>538061292Nope.
>>538061292no
Distinct lack of fuckable NPCs.
>Charged attacks don't recover silkFucking why?
whats the best way to farm rosaries early
>"blasted steps prolly takes me to the citadel so lets explore this sinner path instead"oh, i guess i got here after all
SHAW
>>538062182are you at greymoor yet? one room right of the pub has a group of enemies you can blitz down with your silkspear fast.
Is it just me or are they really fucking stingy with upgrades this time? There's barely any way to improve yourself, especially with damage, nail upgrades are far between.
My head canon about the hollow knight and silksong universe is that it takes place in some backyard in some midwestern town in america.
>>538062546It happens in Australia.
>>538062928That would make more sense
>not a single memorable npc>bland settingSilksong is like Blasphemous 2 for HK.
How do you open the bottom doors?Thought it was wall hang but still cant figure it out
does slab have good upgrade or safe to skip entirely?
What the hell triggers, and how can I tell if hunter crest just hit focus mode for extra damage? I can never tell when, or how the trigger works.It sometimes feels like it gives me a power up once I reach a certain amount of thread, but then it stops giving higher damage even if it's maxed out, or just randomly stops higher damage.
Not using silk for anything other than healing. It's just not worth it otherwise.
>>538063729when you get the counterattack tech, its essentially a damage prevention move.
Fourth chorus is a great boss fight, clear tells that show you what you need to do, enough time to react. Boss fights that are just long to give you more time to fuck up aren't fun.
HOW DO I LOAD THIS THING
>See that enemy there that looks like it's suffering from fetal alcohol poisoning?>Make it deal two damage
>>538054256>>538048115>>538047118after reaching act 2, seems like the boss spawns in left of the bellway
I miss her bros
>See a big platforming puzzle section, with a new enemy leading to a huge chest up above>Do it>It's less than 100 RosariesThey seem to enjoy fucking with the player more in this one. So many tricky jumps or things you do just lead to low amounts of money.
>>538064840>big flying enemy in the middle of where you need to jump>give it a fuckhuge aoe attack>knocks you back into the lava below>deals 2 damage
Just started playing, and I haven't found any merchants who trade for shell shards. Any idea where I can spend these things?
I now get what you anons mean by hunter's march, why are the flying fucks so tanky and WHYYYY DID THEY PUT A HUGEASS BOSS WITH A FLYINGFUCK IN A FUCKING TUNNEL
>>538064840>>538065749Elden Ring has been a disaster to any games with action segments
>>538066201That's not even the worst boss design wise yet. A hunt from a request you'll get later is straight up unfair.
Sinners Road made me alt+f4 and drink heavly.This was 4 hours ago.I dread the day im going back.
HOW THE FUCK DO YOU BEAT THIS GUY?????????DO ANY SPECIFIC BUILDS WORK????
The bosses are not that hard USE YOUR SPELLSJESUS
>>538067465HOLY SHIT YOU'RE RIGHT
>>538067465This, honestly... I was struggling with the Sister, started using Silkspear on the adds and the fight became so, so much easier.
>>538067465FUCK YOUI NEED MY HEALING READY AT ALL TIMES
>>538067206I don't even wanna know, gave on on that, went to savage beastfly, you know the rest...I don't think I'm gonna clear this place
>>538067465and then your spell locks you in place doing wet noodle damage while the enemy powers through and doublehit kills you
>>538067826It took me like an hour to defeat him and at some point I got so concentrated that when I finally got him, bastard didn't hit me even once. I know I had lots of luck as well
>>538067465Yeah they really overtuned the hell out of threadstorm for whatever reason
>>538067394This one isn't so bad, just space yourself and hit it when it tries to slam you, or do a down move when it flies towards you, then use a special moves.The other one after it is the real bullshit.
Feels like every boss is a filter boss, except for Moss Mother.
>>538066019They're used to craft weapons that you'll get, like the throwing knives fairly early on. They'll be automatically used to replenish your tools when you rest and respawn. There is also the wish board in the first settlement that has a quest for 200 shards, reward is a rosary bead.
Weavelight is 100% useless right?
should I really donate the 250 rosaries? Is it worth it?
Man fuck craw lake.

i thought the wanderer crest was OP too until i tried fighting one of the scissor dudes with it.
>>538070062you lose her air time with it and her range isnt very good compared to john hollow knight. i swapped back to reaper after giving it a go
>>538070858she's also like 2x the size of the ghost so having a dinky range is a little more risky
I actually use spells less than in HK because of how healing works now. In HK your spells and healing were roughly equal cost. Now healing needs 90% of you thread.
The runback to the cog sisters is actually ridiculous but a really good rosary farm
>out of shardthis is a problem. ive been enjoying the poison tools too much. is there a good way to get shards?
I did a quest and now I got some kind of cursed crest> can't heal> can't use spells> can't change crest> can't use tools or anything> no clue what the fuck to dolmao
>>538071440>Good rosary farmJust go to the bar, sit on the bench and run to the right and kill the 3 pilgrims, then rest again, 29 per run, faster by a bit.Also you don't really need to kill them, they stay still long enough to run past easily.
Okay but how about a good shell shard farm jesus christ
>>538073059it might actually be easier to farm rosaries and buy them lmao
Can someone explain exactly what keyboard inputs (assuming default keyboard config) I need to do to do a 2nd plunge attack after I start spinning from the first plunge attack?I'm not sure if it's because I'm playing without a controller but I seem to lose control of my character after the first plunge sends me into the spinning animation and I can't input a 2nd plunge. All I can do is control the air movement.
I sure love bosses that just summon more adds with no rythm so RNG fucks you up and you have no safe way out and end up taking 4 damage
About how far in do you get double jump and wall jump? Putting markers on the map to remind myself and I'm curious.
anyone found a way to open deep docks door?
>>538077052Double jump is after Greymoor, the zone to the left
>>538077052wall jump is pretty early ~4-5th zonehaven't seen double jump yet in 23h
>>538069449The single fun boss in the game.
>>538077052>>538077192Sorry I meant wall jump
>>538077192>>538077220Groovy, just unlocked halfway home and the fast travel. Thank you kindly.
Is there any way to find sherma again? i've seen him only once at the start of the game, but i've saw some screenshots of people finding him on other locations that i already went to.
>>538074910>jump>hold down+right/left>click attack when neededWorks 90% of the time for me.Just got to the Chapel of the Beast and those cheeky assholes placed the roses just a little too far apart, so you have to glide a bit inbetween.
What does the lever do?
These scissor fucks are pretty annoying huh?
>>538054408>>538064690CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME
>>538079524Beast crest + pogo destroys them
>>538079425try sitting down
>deliver to songclavehow bought i just put my balls in a vice myself and save you the trouble
I'm disappointed in the lack of verticality so far (12 hours in, still on act 1). I was expecting something like SOTN or Jump King (strange comparison yes) but on turbo-steroids where you just go up and up and up and up with the areas stacked on top of each other. I'm at greymoor right now and so far the map is mostly horizontal. The act 1 objective is barely any higher than greymoor as well, but isn't it supposed to be the citadel at the peak of Pharloom? It's not a very high peak of that's the case. I'm hoping that it's just bait and there's loads of areas higher up.Game is still amazing thoughever.
>>538079581
>>538080758doesnt work
Finally beat the beast chapel. I sure hope that there aren't any more fights where the boss summons tons of adds.
>>538081223bless your innocent soul
>>538079717Asking because I already pulled it.
>Touch boss>Take 2 damageI'm starting to this this game is not very good is it.
>favorite boss so far was Fourth Chorus>doesn't summon adds and doesn't have contact damage>also really liked Widow>doesn't summon addsmust be unrelated
>>538082509it is because the slicer sister or w/e is the best boss.
>moorwing>double buzzsaw bullshit>input reads your heal like godskin apostle
I'd really like to be able to see how much damage I'm doing and how close the boss is to dying, it's so frustrating to just never knowhow much hp does the beastfly have? on the longest battle I've done I did tons of attacks, staggered him, then almost repeated the amount of attacks before I got overwhelmed, was I close or was I nowhere near? who knows...
>>538083032welp, I did itafter 4 hours, like clockwork, I beat it after rantpostingbtw, it took 3 staggers with the shapened upgrade
>>538082998if you know ER you should know not to heal while the boss is idle
why the fuck would I ever use the beast crest, it feels like a downgrade in every way
So they move away from the more exploration heavy world design of HK1 (so many of these levels so far have just been a vertical hallway with short paths leading outwards) to focus on a combat system that is just... like that? Hornet has zero knockback on any of her attacks compared to The Knight meaning you'll just get combo'd even when you're attacking, the iframes are noticeably shorter and the platforming is somehow even less engaging than the first game. Sure the movement is pretty sweet, I love the dash and the cape, but platforming sections in HK1 felt like even if you messed up if you were fast on your feet you could readjust thanks to things like being able to pogo off enemies/spikes in the area which they've skipped out on totally this time around. Feels like a big step back.Every enemy being as aggressive and complex as lategame HK bosses is one thing, but having them all hit for 2 masks is pretty tiresome. They're not even that hard if you're using your skills it just gets to a point, you know? I fought the Fly boss everyone was bitching about and he's really very simple (though the dogshit adds basically leave your victory entirely down to chance with what mobs he spawns in and whether he does the downward slam to kill them for you) but the main issue is my reward was that my entire moveset changed and it unequipped all my charms, neither of which I had any say over. What this ended up meaning is that I was left with a truly dogshit downward swipe with a hideous angle I was completely unfamiliar with, so I just died on the way out trying to pogo off flowers and lost like 500 beads. Looks gorgeous though and the soundtrack is killer. Maybe it's the early adjustment period but I don't really see any gameplay aspect of this that doesn't feel like a regression or a sideways move.
>>538083831i can get him to his second phase without taking a hit, but then he throws out homing buzzsaws that either nail me in the air or force me to drop to the ground and eat the claw attack. i don't mind having a challenge but the homing shit feels like its a little too much.
>>538084416the buzzsaws are barely homing, it's safest to heal while he does a claw attack or a single buzzsaw. Move away a bit and heal in the air, you'll have enough time to dash out of the way if he charges.
>>538084021I mean, this game is way better on exploration. Tons of hidden routes, zones look infinitely better and more imaginative, more npcs and quests / minigames. Combat is amazing, literally git gud.
Currently getting violated by Lace, I'm assuming this is probably the last time fighting her. That löoks like a rough fight.
>>538085261>hidden routeslike literally, just now I discovered a whole new area in far fields like a big area and it was hidden in a tiny corner on the quick travel bell bed, the right-side corner, wallclimb is maybe necessary
>>538086154is that this area I have circled/near the red pin at the bottom right? I walked in and it was too spooky for me to continue (I have like 400 rosary I'm sitting on)
>>538086613no, I haven't been there, it's next to the bench and grey circle, you have it on the map, you do need the other powerit's a big parkour area with a bit too many of those scythe flying bups
>>538087000sounds like a pain in the ass, thank you none the less
Well ok, seems like I've hit the final boss. Looks fuckableBut there's still a bunch of areas I have no clue about how to even approach. Huh...
>>538086613I just went there and it wasn't scary at all, do go there, no worries
Is poison strong or a meme? fighting last judge, fucking hell you have to travel 50 million miles to get to her again
>>538085759Lace is on the easier side friend...
>>538088420I'm deep into the game, I just hit the final boss, now going for optional areas. You fight lace more than once, and that was indeed the last fight with her.
anyone know where the beetle in pilgrim's rest went? I rushed to open the door and went out so I could save in a better spot but he just disappeared
Why is every run back so fucking miserable? Savage beastfly, Sliver Sister, Judge, Widow, the spitting fly in wormways, jesus christ.
Im in judge, what are some things that I should check out first before killing her? I don't know if I'm missing things
>>538089202Don't worry about it I'd say since you can always come back? If you want something that helps with her bullshit you can buy a fire resistance thingy from the smith
>>538089045beastfly and widow are fine, they're really smooth and fast
So what's behind the locked door down in deep docks?
i'm enjoying myself but i am facing the problem i had in hollow knight where i just don't know where the fuck to go or what to do.
>>538089884That one has a charm and something else in it. The locked door above bone bottom leads to a zone with the crest that gives you hollow knight's moveset. Down pogo and quick attacks but shorter range.
Holy shit I got the double jump. Getting that shit is a nightmare.
>lost all my spool progress somehowI had 4 :(
>>538090732You just have a cocoon somewhere.
>>538090906oh lmao ty
Wanderer or Reaper?
>>538088135i love it. bosses love to run around the arena, tag him once with a threefold pin every time he runs away so you dont have to chase him for damage. i tend to save tools for after phase 1. for your boss, i started using the poison pins after she does her spin move in phase 2(her fire spin prevents projectiles so toss it right as it drops.
>>538091561i prefer reaper. wanderer loses hornet's hangtime in the air, which i really cant do without.
does anybody know where the muckmaggot is
>scuttlebraceits cute but i dont think it has any real advantage over just regular dashing backwards. it might have a meme application if it allows you to scuttle into small vents.
>>538088985i also wanna know this. i did the same thing
this worm is kicking my ass. the one that tunnels in the bells? i have no power ups is it meant to be so difficult
I never played Hollow Knight, but Silksong is fun so far. Really nice. And it runs on my macbook in bed, very comfy.
>>537985882thats because everyone's playing the game retard
Umm is there a faster runback to the judge?????
>>538092541nah he's basically just a moveset check, don't try to get fancy
I cried like a bitch
>>538092541its literally the second boss you fight, practice learning its moveset and dodging. a lot of later bosses you need to prioritize dodging and being defensive.
>>537985882there's not much to talk about, it's a fun cheap game, not a lifestyle
>>538016918actually, I think it wasn't the Needolin's faultI just had the same thing happen as soon as I left the travel house, I think it happens automatically after you do the request and kill the skull tyrant
>>538093664get your T-levels checked, I'm deadly serious.
>>538093748>>538093618how are you supposed to dodge when it jumps from one tile away from you? and you can't just run beneath it
>>538093748is there a dodge button
>>538094213you run towards where he's gonna land, so you can hit him, that's the best move he does
>>538094283not yet :)
>>538094314i'm not explaining it well...i'll keep trying though
>got the harpoonthis is probably the reason why every enemy backsteps on everything
>>538094067t. sociopath
>>538094378he only has 3 attackshe appears from below the ground on one of the sides, he then rushes, you jump and down attack himhe appears from below the ground on one of the sides and jumps across, stay in the middle and just walk where he's landing to attack himhe appears in the middle, you don't stand near him and jump the bells he launchesyou have to pay attention to the dust clouds because they're the telegraph that warns where an attack's coming from
>half spider>named hornet
>Beat judge>She explodes I die>She's not actually dead yetBROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>538095832Something similar happened to me with a boss that summoned adds, I killed it and then an add killed me. Luckily, it stayed dead.
>click R3very funso GARAMA is a taunt?
>>538060308just did it. playing it fair is cbt. what you do is just fucking leave when the adds get summoned. it looks like you are trapped in the arena but you can just jump out of the place. the savage fly flies back to the middle of his arena but the adds follow you to the arena edges. just toss some poison knives at them till they die then return to the arena. repeat when he summons the adds again.
WHY IS EVERY FUCKING ENEMY A FLYING ENEMY THAT CONSTANTLY FLYS OUT OF YOUR REACH
>>538097330(raughs) Is it fun?
>Find a secret>Shard bundleWhat is this dogshit, do people really use this?
>Boss runbacks are shit>Have to use currency to activate benches>Bosses have unavoidable attacks and do way too much dmgHoly wow, they spend 6 years on this slop?
>>538055687
>>538043880I rarely use the tools but the tacks saved my ass a few times
>>538097330To get you used to using tools is my guess. While on the topic how is the trap tool you can buy from blacksmith lady?
>>538098970the string shard? it takes a second to deploy but it snares in enemies and multihits. certain enemies can charge through the snare, though. if it's hit with an attack by you or the enemy it explodes into needles that I don't believe do as much damage. I like it, can be used for crowd control too
>>538097723Quests on the wish board that turn in what's for bead strings, I've done a 200 and 300 for a 60 and 120 string reward.

Hunter's March or Greymoore first? Because I still have yet to find the former's map.
>>538093664>can't save himI shan't play this game again Team Cherry, I shan't
>Try to use Clawline>Works perfectly fine for first two uses>Try to grab the third target>Completely stops working and makes me fall>Happens consistently every single timeI'm trying to see what's at the blasted steps hidden by the jump puzzle, and I have no idea wtf is happening.
>>538101018Nevermind I'm stupid and didn't realize the move consumes silk. I need to have at least one per use.
>>538100860greymoore has a good skill behind a gauntlet + progression and march has a good combat tool behind a gauntletboth are about as hard as the other so pick your poison
Anyone else here got Architect crest? The charge move is ridiculously good.It's one you can find after getting clawline.
this shit is impossible
>>538102296I died there too, it was annoying. I'm pretty certain you're better off doing that area when you have the dash.
i'm stuck in the underworks, the general area where you get the tether. how the fuck do i get out lmao
>that challenge in far fields jesus fucking christ. my blood pressure
i feel that the hitstop eats up inputs.
I'm actually too retarded for platformers. Fell for hype again.
How the hell do you even dodge widow's attack where she drop 4 heaps of trash across the whole floor? There's no safe spot anywhere.
>>538071837Where was this quest?
I beat Clockwork Dancers, where do I go next?It feels like I need the ring thing whatever it is and a double jump to reach my two goals at the moment.
>>538103718pogo it
>>538103718it's not that hard to jump over them their hitbox is pretty small and they go away quicklyclimb the wall
>>538101357Best crest I've found because i like the tool heavy playstyle
So I went from Fourth Chorus to turning in the flea quest and arriving at Bellhart. Where do I go? Shellwood? Greymoor? I don't know what the natural progression was supposed to be.I am also getting rather pissed at how every area seems to have fewer enemies that drop beads the more I progress. Shellwood wants 60 beads for a rest bench? Shellwood has no beads, so Shellwood gets nothing.
People really posting "FULL GAME PLAYTHROUGH ONLY 10 HOURS???" not even having played like half the fucking game
Where's the Tyrant in the Marrow
>Get a quest to get my hands on needle upgrade 2>One of the steps is the equivalent white flower quest in HK>On a timer>Getting hit 2-3 times means it's game over even if you're running nonstopThis is pure fucking evil.
>spent two memory lockets on reaper crestshould I restart?
>>538104485You go through Shellwood and wrap about to fix the town then go out through the left of Shellwood after.
>>538105591have confidence, silly billy. you'll get more or learn
>the boss is stunned and unable to actgreat!>however, if you have the FUCKING AUDACITY to so much as GRAZE its supple body during this period of vulnerability... it hits you for full damageyippie!!!!!!!!
>>538105126Wall jump by the door on the other side of that vehicle thing that you move across the lava in.Just hold right from the town to get there
>>538105591Im multiple areas into act 2 and still using reaper.Apparently theres only 7 crests total and the last 3 are obscure to find.
>>538071837Same, luckily I already finished the game but wat the fuck do I do lmao
>>538105740I ended up backtracking to Far Fields which naturally took me to Greymoor. I assume that will lead to the exit I was at near Bellhart so I would then continue to Shellwood. Enemies actually give beads in Greymoor which is nice.
>>537900328I'm about 80% of the way through this game.Its not fun, honestly about to drop it, there is so much fucking time wasting bullshit and dogshit platforming I am legit just not enjoying my time with it at this point.
>tiny ants carry bits of enemies along the groundthats a nice little detail
>>538107134Same but I'll finish it. Progression just hasn't felt great and I'm a little sick of every enemy and environment doing 2 damage which makes quickly running through previous areas a pain.
>>538107274Are you doing the pogo shit in that secret area? Good luck. I died at the end fight when I first found it and haven't gone back..
>>538107525I just died too and aint going back
>>538106152Thank you anon.
>>538105383I just took a break from my third attempt on this one specifically. What a bastard of a quest.Do you have anklet item you can equip to make your sprint even faster?
>>538107134yeah 7 hours and I'm over itway too many repelling featuresno doubt I would've fucked up the most anticipated game of all time.. but I wouldn't have forgot to make the game in any way fun
Just got to Hunter March cage fight and fucking hell, Shakira or whatever her name is messed up the fight so bad. I can't tell anything apart with her zipping around and knocking enemies into me.
>>538111528same, id prefer if she wasnt there at all. thanks for having projectiles that look similar to the enemy's
I'm playing hollow knight for the first time so I can try silksong. After beating hornet I bought the lantern for 1800 and go to the dark area in forgotten crossroads and now I just triggered a cutscene I don't know about. Did I skip some shit??? Am I not supposed to be here yet?!
how's this build?wanted to go for being able to heal easily while staying on the offensive
Please tell me there's a faster runback to the Judge, what the fuck is this.
>>538113542Afraid not, Anon. Just do your best to juke the bugs on your way back up there.
>>538113608If the two pilgrims made it alive surely I can get there without taking damage. Godspeed anon.
Noooo why isn't the bench working in Sinner's Road?
I actually thought Widow was a lot of fun, even as she smashed my face in. The secret seems to be to use Hornet's original crest and make liberal use of her dash attack, it's followups give it a pretty guaranteed 2-3 hit combo.Also don't forget you can wall jump now, that pretty much trivializes both the claw blade attacks and the floor spam.
>>538114046spend an hour figuring out what it wants you to do to fix it then give up and never come back again
ugh, i've just done the mountain, please tell me there's a way to glide without having to waste your double jump
>>538114046You need to wall jump up the left wall and break a part of it to get to a platforming challenge.
SOMEONE PLSremind me where the bell house guy who asks for a strange specimen is locatedi can't remember
>>538115229Nice, thanks. Those spikes had my balls clenched.
>the High Waters gauntletI've been okay with the game's difficulty thus far but this is legitimately insane for a required portion. What the fuck were they thinking? I'm do tired of mob arenas in general now, just put a fucking boss there instead of this slog.
>>538105383The sword upgrade questline is genuinely evil. I dont know if I have it in me to get all this food.

>>538117010pogo the flying bug
The Last Judge runback will cost Silksong GotY.
uhh anyone else encounter a bug where upgrades to the spool quantity reset? I had 2 upgrades and now it's back to default
>>538117909Silksong not actually being that great overall will cost Silksong GOTY. Passable? Sure. Good? Debatable. GOTY? No.
Having Failed to create ID3D11Fence, error 0x80070057.Seems my gpu isn't able to update drivers anymore. Is there a way to play somehow? Turn off something maybe in .ini files?
>>538118036wait is this because I didn't collect my body after I died? never noticed thatderp
>>538118081People forget that HK at launch was a 7/10, it needed numerous balance patches and updates to reach goat status.SS just feels very bizarrely tuned and paced, upgrade-wise. And some of these fetch quests are super uninspired. I'm sure it will improve though.
>>538118141What GPU and drivers?You can try DXVK if your GPU supports Vulkan (1.2?):https://github.com/pythonlover02/DXVK-Sarek/releasesThis fork is for older GPUs/drivers.I know Silksong supports OpenGL on Linux but I'm not sure if there's a way to force it on Windows.
>>538118081You don't get how v games get GOTY nowadays. It's pure hype and marketing thing around fanservice and memes, nothing more.
>>538118591Except SS is going to filter normies and most fans will recognize the issues it has, together both will kill the hype.
>>538118492AMD 6700, it doesn't support Vulkan and new drivers.
>>538118709>SS is going to filter normies
>>538118984I don't know if it was built with support for it on Windows, but you can try -force-opengl for Unity games like HK/SS. Old OpenGL drivers for those cards are pretty bad though so YMMV.
should I go with fleas? does it advance to act 2 or what?I got dash, climb and slowfall but no nail upgrades
>>538119412It just skips one area, Greymoor. Head right from the fleas if you want to backtrack through it.
he's just stuck there... rolling menacingly in place
I'm at the Last Judge and I don't think I like Silksong all that much.
>>538117312>>538117010or come back after you acquire dash/run skill
I just got the Needolin, and the Wall Jump.I can't remember what early areas I should go back to now.Also, what's up with the Needolin in general?Given what button it's on, it seems like it's this game's version of the Dream Nail. Does it have any other application other than just opening those ornate doors? I'm guessing so given that it uses silk to play.Really, I think it should just slowly give silk instead of draining it. That way we have a decent way to regain health outside of combat without having to smack enemies ten times to fill up the heal button.
>>538120397There's going to be so many more pogo tests, they might was well do the easiest damn pogo jump. That secret Hunter's Marsh pogo test in the early game kicked my ass but now I breeze through all pogo shit because of it.
Saw some people complaining about this boss, so I was worried and I even accepted the help. Turns out that you can just run back and forth from one end of the arena to the other to force him to do his low swoop that you can pogo over. Didn't stop me from getting nicked by his bullshit hitbox, but I basically didn't have to deal with the saws at all, lmao...
>>538120826>the boss is quite simple if I break the boss' aino shit?
>>538120826Reaper crest felt like ass for that fight.
>>538120497>now I breeze through all pogo shit because of itthis, practice makes perfect, and I've been getting a lot of practice because me of dying like a retard and having to run a marathon back to the boss rooms
which one?
>>538121274I was only using it because I had just finished the reaper chapel and didn't feel like walking all the way back to the pub. The upside was that I spawned at the reaper chapel, so the runback was nonexistent.
anyone know how to deal with that huge ceiling bug that vomits on you?
>>538121965>hide under a platform until it stops vomiting>jump up onto the platform>hop up and hit him 1-2 times>return to the underside of the platform as he begins vomiting>repeat until he dies

bruh where tf is pale ore in citadel
>>538122125oh i thought there was some other intended way lmfao
>>538067925This boss is easy on it's own when you realize that it's own attacks destroy the vines as well as the ads. You just have to kite it over to them.
Now that the dust has settled it turns out that silksong is overall a worse game than the first one.
>>538122508>he doesn't know
anyone found the second pale oil yet for the third weapon upgrade?
>>538123515yes, citadel has at least two
>>538123681>twoI got 1 from the library, where's the other one?
HELP. The downwards diagonal slash (the thing that replaced pogo slash from HK) makes me go insane. A LOT of platforming relies on that, but there's two problems:1) It's diagonal, so it's hard to judge the timing2) The duration is too short, so even if you don't miss the slash, there's a chance it won't reach.I (mostly) don't have problems with straight diagonal ascending, but diagonal descending or zig-zag ascending makes me impale myself on spikes all the time.I feel like a game journalist that fails at the tutorial at this point.
>>538119365Damn, doesn't work.
>>538123793Later on you can get "crest" which alter your move set. The reaper one basically makes you fight like in hk one, including pogo ability
>>538123793keep playing and you will get better at itthis is just how things work
>>538123793how could we possibly help you? you just need to practice. or maybe take a break from hunter's march and explore something else
>>538123793You can get the original HK pogo very early on if you really want it. Also, the diagonal slash platforming is only rough in first few areas, once you get a few upgrades it's much more lenient.
I can't kill skull ant, its fucking over.
>>538123793All anyone can really give are tips.You can still adjust yourself for a moment midair (developers were dicks and made it so you fail one of the last jumps in a secret early pogo area if you don't. I learned this the hard way.)Learn the angle of the attack and the distance because the reach is shortYou eventually can unlock a way to swap to HK-style attacks early mid game or so if you want to wait for that.
>>538122732They just didn't need to make the fucking game so hard and tedious. Why does every basic enemy feel like a fight for life or death? Why does every boss do two points of damage per hit? Why do they hurt you when they are staggered? Why do I need resources to use my tools and then need to go farm, interrupting the progression of the game? Why is money so hard to come by? Why is every walk back so fucking dangerous?Im not even having fun anymore
>>538124435Yarp. Except>Why does every boss do two points of damage per hit?Is more like every enemy in the game.And they really go out of their way to make sure farming isn't all that viable.
>people think a hard game will get GOTYIt is a normie award you should rather NOT want to get the GOTY
>>538124346you're gonna be cooked anon... it gets unfathomably harder later on
>>538124435I was feeling like this after the savage beastfly fight and was having a miserable time in greymoor and then I entered some kind of transcendent flow state and annihilated Moorwing, Sister Splinter, and Widow in 1-2 tries a piece. I feel like a god.
>>538124743idk why i bought this bullshit. I dont even play platformers or dark souls or elden ring or whatever the fuck. This is what gamers are hyping up for years?
>>538124435The only one of these I mostly agree with is the tools, specifically how you only refill them at benches, I feel like you should be able to craft them in the field with some kind of animation lock like healing does.The rest I think are reasonable or even good.
>>538124868you can only blame yourself for not knowing what you were buying
>>538124346That miniboss was designed for parry anons and I hated it. You also have the option of coming back later with more tools and abilities.
>>538124705It's really just shitty to do, but I guess I'm gonna go to greymoor and farm that one passage for a half hour>>538124752I didn't mind any of these figures EXCEPT widow's second phase. That was just stupid>>538124870I'm old and slow, I get it. But HK wasn't this hard, especially early on. I don't get what the devs were thinking over the last decade when making this game. Did they just want elitist hardcore gamers to have fun?
how does parrying even work? just smack a nigga while he tries to smack you?
>>538125220Widow was so easy that I didn't use any of my tools, so when she got back up I got pissed off and threw everything in my pouch at her and she died for real very quickly. In hindsight, kind of funny.
>>538125220>I don't get what the devs were thinking over the last decade when making this gameIt was initially a post-game DLC for HK, so yes, hardcore content. I certainly got the impression a few times while playing SS that the game went through some dev hell while they were reworking it into a full game.
>>537900328I'm gonna cooooooooooooom!
>>538125423Yep. Just don't stand on the nigga or they'll smack you
>>538125610bug sex...
>>538120826I got it stuck near the entrance and wacked through the wall, feels good man
Chinese are negative review bombingNearly everyone else is positive review bombingKoreans are keeping it real with 78%
>>538126832China translation is genuinely terrible, they are right to review bomb, for once.
>>538125019Well, I beat HK an was expecting difficulty on the same level. But this is just miserable.

If you want to turn on easy mode just use this combo. Does a ridiculous amount of damage to boss/hoard fights. I had to stop using it because it felt like cheating.

Spear or Storm?
>>538103762>>538106708It's not too big of an issue once you find out that you just talk to the guy in Bellhart, who gives you a hint on where to go. There's a short-ish questline to get it fixed
Why not place a bench next to boss room? No, it just has to be 9000 miles away behind a million traps!!
Whoever invented pogoing need to be taken out back and shot in the head.
>>538124435>Why does every basic enemy feel like a fight for life or death? Like IRL. Makes you think on the edge of your neuron activity.>Why does every boss do two points of damage per hit? Because its the game 2. You don't come here without mastering your skills in the 1. Also females are more fragile than males.>Why do they hurt you when they are staggered?Covered in acid, toxic chemical substance or protected with spiked chitin.>Why do I need resources to use my tools and then need to go farm, interrupting the progression of the game?For deeper immersion into the beetle world and for developing fighting skills. >Why is money so hard to come by? Like IRL. It makes the trinkets more valuable.>Why is every walk back so fucking dangerous?Nevere go back, never look down, never call your ex. Common rules of life.
>>538128868I've only beaten Widow but most bosses I've fought so far have a shortcut you can open or a bench you can buy close enough that the runback is relatively short and safe, especially after getting the dash. I think Greymoor's boss was the worst so far.
>>538128201>I had to stop using itYou possess a titanium will.
>>538128868eldenring and it's consequences will forever ruin gaming
>>538128201>>538128387how do you get the fly ive been looking for it since the start
Is this worth it? Does it give an achievement or something?
>>538130563you get a tool pouch for 15 you can savescum it
>>538129286Wait till you find the judge
>>538130263I'm pretty sure it was when I was exploring one the southern branches of the vertical cogworks zone. There's a crafting table you interact with that let's you make it at the cost of a piece of metal.
>>538130102multiplayer games ruined gamingyou can't fuck me around or I'll go have fun with other people for like 6 bucks
I've died a hundred times to skull ant, whoever said this game is fun is a fucking loser who has no life.
Can anybody who's finished confirmed that the game will end when you fight whatever is at the top of the cradle?
The boss runback in bilewater is giving me aids.> maggot water everywhere> platforming up the ass with the most obnoxious enemies ever created> here's your bench bro lmao le trole get dumped into maggot water> fighting section before the boss even spawnsWhat the fuck
>>538131162Just hold jump over it
where the FUCK is double jump?
>>538131162I refused to parry and brute forced him and eventually got lucky. He's a little bitch because he either does the jump attack with a super long hitzone or the combo in front of him. You either have to walk under him for the jump attack, or preemptively move back for the combo and reading his attacks is difficult.If you're willing to wait until your first Hornet upgrade, it should make the fight a joke.
Do we get enough lockers to unlock all slots on all crests or do you risk permanent damage by using them too early?
>>538131438That one is behind quite a section so if you really wanna get spoiledIt's cold thereGood luck, you'll need it.
How can I advance the dialogue with the Bell hermit guy?
should i explore slab or greymoor upper area sinners something?
>>538131714oh thank god, that was actually the next place I was gonna return to next to check
These Greymoor birds are tanky as hell.
>>538132457>can't attack diagonally up>every flying fucker approaches from that angleCancer.
>>538132457easy when you upgrade needle then they die 3 hits
>>538132772>easy when you upgrade needleWell, there's the sticking point. Think I'm just going to have to Google how to do so instead of finding it blind.
Are there any free shops on Tinfoil I can use to download the game?
>>538132457storm clears them
>Complete random flea collection quest>Get taken to a completely different area with an new quest complete with kino cutsceneI kneel to the superior Australian devs...

What does this do? There is still way to many things I need rosaries for.
>>538130884is that after collecting the songs ?
>>538135546During. I got it before I got any of them
The clockwork bugs boss made feel sad.
I flipped the lever on the other side of this bridge at the right hand end of greymoor but missed the powerup at the top, now I can't get back. Is there a crystal dash or something I can get to cross the gap?
>>538136250Map view of the bridge I lowered.
>>538136234kino fight though
>>538136427Absolutely. Just didn't expect to feel those feels fighting them.
>>538136250>>538136407You should be able to get over it with the combination of dash, glide, wall climb and pogo. You might need to clear to crow fight in the Craw Lake building to make pogo balloons appear.
>evolved crest>nothing changedAm I missing something or what?
hunter's march or far field first
>>538137176Hunter crest get evolved? You build up focus when hitting dudes. I have no idea what a full focus gauge does, if it's more damage it's a very small bump in damage that can't really be felt or maybe I'm stupid.
>>538137226hunter's march if you like cock and ball torture
>>538137226Far Field. Not even sure how to progress Hunter's March yet.
Anyone know a good shell shard farm yet? Need to restock for Widow fight.
>>538137456Hornet doesn't have any of those malformations.
>>538137226Hunter's march. Just hit the ants with your needle bro, you'll be fine.
>plasmium phial only gives one mask per usewell that's underwhelmingwhat happens when you mix the pollip pouch poison with plasmium or flea brew? does it give some special synergy buff or is it just a meme that poisons you? i don't feel like wasting resources to test it.
>what I expected vs. what I'm getting so far
>>538138687left is shit and right is pretty good, so congrats!
>>538137789Nevermind got SLAB'ed.
>>538138846Hahahaha gay baby jail. Have fun running around naked.Getting your equipment back is immensely cool though, so look forward to that
Does Hunter's March have bosses besides the Beastfly? It feels a bit empty.
>>538140064perhaps...
mfw the beastfly is savage
Where the FUCK IS THE SKILL TO FREE THE GODDAMN WORM FUCK I'VE BEEN GOING IN CIRCLES FOR A FUCKING HOUR
>>538142087Check your map doofus. You need the needle spear attack.
I know it's still page nine, but is anyone ready to bake? OP, are you lurking?
I think I just found Bilewater 2 electric boogaloo
>>538142345The fleas are so cute, goddamn.
How many phases does the fucking Beastfly have holy shit. I got it stunned at least 5 times.
>>538142764I'm sorry to tell you that it was probably 1-2 hits away from death if you stunned it that many times.
>>538135646i finally found it, only to not have any craftmetal left
>save tippand your reward is... needing to grind 1400 more rosaries!
That nigger shakra disappeared in Far Field. I haven't bought my map yet. Just wasted 2 hours looking for her turns out shes missing from the cave. I keep falling into the map where u can't get back up and losing my rosaries. Fuck this nigger game.
holy fuck savage beastfly is collector on steroids>2 damage on contact>can't kill minions in 1-2 hits>2 types of minions briefly limit the area around them
How do you get to the upper part of the slab? Apparently i was supposed to get kidnaped but that never happened. I just walked in there through the citadel.
>>538144193its over, what should I do? delete my save?
>"This feels like a boss room, let me go explore the other direction.">go the other direction>it's Moorwing
>>538145054Back in first bug town jump up the blocks on the right. Should hear her singing if shes there.
>>538145207>it's MoorwingKino fight
>>538146047Finally got him acted some sleep. I left my cocoon on the far left side and came in with full silk. No hit his first phase then unloaded silk spear, got the cocoon for more silk, silk spear again, and the trap tool to finish the second phase quick.
>>538146246all of the real god gamers are killing moorwing with an uninterrupted pogo that lasts the entire fight
no idea what's this but the 'spikes' don't kill you and there's something metallic if you hit this spot
>>538146648What can I say, I'm stubborn and wanted to "win the right way". Otherwise the game won, right? Perfect sense.
is there only 5 craftmetal? seems insanely rare with so many tools requiring one
this thing ought to be rebalanced, what the fucksilk spear kills the stupid flies in 1 hit, the big fly in 2 hits
>get silk spool upgrade>yay more silk!>still takes a full spool to heal
>>538147091That feels like most of the game so far, no idea what resources are rare so I'm hesitant to spend them. I just know that as soon as I spend one craftmetal on something it will immediately unlock the absolute best item in the game that I won't have the materials for lol.
Did Hollow Knight ever get nerfs or buffs in patches? Because it'll be interesting to see what changes in the future for Silksong.
Is it just me or is the music a lot less interesting than it was before? Although I only got past the deep docks so far.
>>538147878Lots of adjustments in patches and when they added the extra boss rush mode. Things like player damage, air hang time, iframes.
>>538147023in a similar vein there's a spiky patch that does nothing in the ants area
>>538148465Does six masks really feel like an upgrade over five?
feeling overwhelmed in greymoorso many directions to go, haven't found the map seller or whatever upgrade i need to ride the fans, afraid to try the reaper trial because i don't see a quick runback to it
>Congratulations, sir! You have just beaten the Silksong boss you have died a bunch of times to!>Great! What do I win?>Nothing! Now get out!
>>538149985Reaper trial is a gauntlet of the bugs in the area so not too bad with full tools to use. The fan riding upgrade is in far fields, go down and to the right, eventually you'll see air currents coming up and no way back, the NPC has you collect some stuff from the enemies and gives you the upgrade.
>>538060308im deep as fuck in the game and this was the hardest boss for me so far, took like 20 tries and nothing else has taken more than 5 or soand it's literally just a normal common easy low level enemy but a bit biggergod damn
>>538150172You won EVERYTHIN, fool.
Sometimes an icon appears in the bottom-left corner of the screen, a white, crossed out silhouette of a bug.What does it mean?
>>538150749that means that you have killed said enemy enough times to unlock hornet's notes on the enemy
>>538150749Pretty sure its updating the bestiary with either a new bug/enemy/boss or you killed enough to complete the entry.
>>538150295okay yeah the reaper gauntlet was easythanks, i would've driven myself crazy trying to find the fan thing
>>538150814>>538150851Thank you
I should've bought NG: Ragebound instead, I'm out of my element here.
>>538150894Something to note, I like the reaper crest but it does change your moveset. Especially the down angle pogo you get less movement on it, some heavy pogo segments I found it easier to switch back to the regular crest but reaper feels good for combat. Being able to knock enemies away from you feels so much better.
where do i get the mantis claw? i think the game expects me to have wall jump by shellwood
Do the crests deal different damage or it just a movelist change?
>>538151839in shellwood, beat the boss
>>538151876normal/wanderer/reaper seem to take the same amount of hits to kill enemies, so it comes down to them having different attack speeds and hitboxes.
>>538152029what the fuck? how do i get to the boss then? i went to shellwood through bellhart and there was nothing to do. the only things left on my mind to do are simple key doors
>>538152176Wanderer has the most dps and ease huh.
where the fuck is all the craftmetal
>>538152671over there
>>538145747shes not there in the marrow, shes not in far field either
>>538152284i went in from the opposite side with a simple key but i'm not sure if that's required. you just pogo up the flowers. you have the dash, right?
>>538152671I'm up to mosswind and I've found/bought two so far.
https://www.twitch.tv/forsen
>>538119989I got that bug (heh) too
>>538149760not a huge one but yesthe 'last chance' charm is a big upgrade, it's from the ant area
Anybody got any tips for Last Judge?Feels like I always get hit by the melee swirly if I stay close but if I stay far I get hit by the reel in.
Hate the forced kit changes. Like when you attune to a new weaver, or the Slabforcing you into default with the spear, no crest, and no tools.
>>538155040stay close to bait the speen and jump as much as possible, and watch out for dash over, don't get close to wall
new bread?
