>>538152853nevermind i'm retarded, i thought you needed wall climbs to get up the first room
Where the fuck is billwater?
>>538156092greymoor inn>sinnersrun>billwater
After sleeping beat moorwing and got to the new town. This guy is my new bro, spirit animal friend. Went back to pilgrims rest and broke my rosary beads to buy the memory stone and pouch capacity upgrade from the merchant, going to spend some time grinding bells in halfway home to buy out the forge daughter's inventory that I completely forgot about. After that, should I try hunters march or continue on into the area past moorwing? Is the wall jump not too far ahead or should I just come back later?
Despite making up only 5% of the bug's population, Snitchflies commit 50% of the crimes in Pharloom.
>>538156202>Back through sinners road againFuck those dogs.
can someone explain why everyone is shitting and pissing themselves over this game? It's just a basic metroid style platformer. There are thousands of games just like it. I don't get it.
>>538155618so that's the beads grind everyone is talking about, 1 per min seems rough
>>538155618U mad Silksonglo?
>>538156451Bugwife sex.
>>538156680What are they mad about?
>>538156808allegedly poor quality simple chinese translation but other versions are fine.
>Enraged ConchflyHoly fuck hes mad alright.
>when you knock the projectile back
I just found Eva and she upgraded the default crest (the one I like the most), which is fucking coolBut I'm a little confused, she says to come back when I "expand my nature" so I swapped crests but she doesn't care, is the upgrade only for the crest I had equipped?
>>538157387I don't know what triggers the upgrades, but she only seems to give you more general slots that go in all crests, and the hunter upgrade is just unique.
I'm getting filtered by lace wtf she parries all my attacks
>the delivery questswhat the fuck
Oh no...
>>538156451probably because we've been waiting almost 7 years for the game to come out
Alright, how many more weeks or months will it take before reddit and fanboys stop coping and realize that they did not cook after 7 years and Silksong is objectively worse than Hollow Knight? >feels unrewarding as fuck, most of the secret areas give you like 30 beads and half of them fly off a cliff or a boneshard pile when you already are capped on them or nearly capped. Bosses literally give you nothing.>Backtracking after acquiring abilities rewards you with often times... some tiny sum of beads or bone shards.>game economy is fucked, the fact that only 2, maybe 3 enemy types in a given area actually drop beads makes fighting a large majority of enemies a complete waste of time cause you're already capped on bone shards anyways. Retards on reddit unironically defend this with "ermmm, akshully the citadel is a commentary on late stage capitalism." >atmosphere and mood is nowhere near as good, most of the music is forgettable, hornet yaps too much, and way too many characters are le wacky and quirky>silksong is far more linear than hollow knight, by a lot. The way that areas are linked to one another practically makes progression stage-based and there is little in the way of skipping or sequence breaking and even if you do get to an area earlier than intended, you get progression blocked very early on into it.All these points have nothing to do with difficulty so you git gud retards have to come up with an actual argument
>>538159289Alternate from one end of the platform to the other and bait either her lunge (jump over her and hit once or twice) or her jump attack (dash under and hit once or twice). Her other attacks you can parry but she can activate her parry counter faster than you can swing which can catch you. Patience is the best thing for her, wait for her to use either of those two easily punishable attacks. Back to getting filtered by the fucking bird house, is there really no closer bench than halfway home lol.
>>538159289She has tells and only three attacks, four in the final phase. It took me a while, but it's a manageable scuffle. Diving didn't work for me, but YMMV.
>>538159597>please argue with metwitter ruined your generation
>>538159597Oh right, I also forgot to bring up that the new charm system is dogshit too. They outright removed the ability to do builds in favor for a far more restrictive system that adds nothing.
kill the boss after 100 tries, WHERES THE FUCKING LOOT, WHERES THE UPGRADE? NIGGER
why do none of the boss fights or wave arenas give any rosaries or shards?I spend a fucking hour getting tortured and my reward is absolutely nothing, this sucks, I want the reward explosion backit's not that I'm poor, it's that I get no satisfaction at all from beating the fucking boss
>>538160032>>538160245
>free rosary bead string machine on the way to the bird houseoh they knew lol
>>538159597they cooked and silksong is better than hollow knight
what I really like is how there's secret paths and hidden walls absolutely everywhere, and some even open up to fuckhuge parkour arena, that's really funhalf time I get a random what-if thought I find a hidden path and that's so cool
what the FUCK I got kidnapped by some dudeat full hpand now I'm running around naked and don't have the slowfall cloak?? fucking hellhornet looks so grotesque without the cloak
>>538159608>Back to getting filtered by the fucking bird house, is there really no closer bench than halfway home lolString shard to the fucking rescue, makes a difference when you use the tools the game gives you huh.
>>538160602it still takes 20 away :)
I had to bounce off of flying enemies to sequence break into this room and fight an encampment of ants. And you're telling me there's nothing in it??
>>538161346still saves them for a rainy day.
Nice tits bro
>go to a fight to reclaim your belongings>a variation of HK1 Hornet theme starts playingAbsolute cinema
>>538159597>unrewarding>backtracking>atmosphere>linearitywrong>game economy is fuckedcorrect. all enemies should drop rosaries and costs should be lower.>>538160000hk1's charm system was horribly unbalanced. the cool ones were so pathetically undertuned that they felt like a waste of notches and you were objectively better off using the basic efficient ones.silksong's crests & tools & skills let you experiment with cool stuff without automatically running out of space for utility charms. the supposed "restrictions" actually give you more versatility.
>>538159597I'm at varying amounts of agree and disagree with some of those points, but more then anything, the game doesn't feel that particularly polished for being in development for 7 years to "get things just right"
>have to tip to use a bench nowI just LOVE the hustle and bustle of the city
>>538161895there is, at the very end, an npc to talk toI don't think they give you anything, but she's a cutie
Feels good man.
>>538163038benches are homeless hotels, they have to pay like in every hotel
these guys seriously fucking hate their players and decided to make every enemy complete turbo cancer on purposeevery single normal guy does 2 masks of damage and has the movelist of bosses from HK also they are always flying 2 pixels above you so you cant damage them but are constantly taking damage from themevery single boss has 5-6 environmental hazards and random spawns and 10 minute long dieback runsfuck this
>>538159320say it aint so anon...
>>538163038The one inside the merchant house? Break the gear over the door once its open to keep it from locking again.
>>538161895If you mean the scholar hiding under the ground, I already met her somewhere else.
>>538163221i'm having fun :)
I am just tired of every single enemy taking 5+ hits to kill.
Where can I find another craftmetal? I've got two so far: one from bone bottom shop and one from an ore vein in marrow. But I've used both of them.
Spend 60 rosaries to get a broken bench, thanks game, very nice...
>>538163038church exists on donations, bro
>>538164168i got the same two you got and spent one of them on that bomb tool in your screenshot. haven't found a use for the other one yet, where'd you spend your two?
>>538163124currently trying to deliver the fucking thing, I got everything else.
>Sinner's Road>BilewaterBad times. Very bad times.
Is Beast Crest meant to be a Hard Mode like giving away Kuro's talisman?Or is there some non-obvious property that makes it good in some way?I think it maaaay have slightly longer reach and slightly greater knockback but I'm really not sure.
>>538162769>doesn't feel that particularly polishedGame's extremely polished, you just don't agree with some of its game design. If you're crying about rosaries or bosses that can't be facetanked you should just... git... gud.
>>538164064yeah I can get it for big dudes and bosses but it's one of the things that's genuinely kind of tedious, and I'm fine with the 2-3 mask hits you get
>>538164465Forge daughter in Deep Docks sells a tool and a charm for craft metals.
>>538164496The hard part is not getting hit. Im not even sure you need the faster sprint trinket if you don't get hit.
>>538161895A special enemy appears in that room at some point
>1.0% of people defeated Phantom wtf? she was one of the fun ones. aka, didnt have respawning seagulls in her fight
>>538164974You can brain-off buttonmash some bosses with it. I think that's about it.
>>538164926>The dogs in sinner's road>The stealth niggas in bilewater>The fucking fish in that one cave where you get a mask fragment
How do I get to Carmelita? I know she exists but I can't find a way to reach the fight.
Early act 2 name spoilerChoral Chambers is so fucking beautiful bros...
>>538165136People came in expecting release game hollow knight and not holllow knight after the dlc's and boss rush mode.
>>538165209Without the sprint trinket you can spare 1 hit, at least on my route. Maybe 2 hits if you're extra fast.
>>538165584>people expected Story ModeThat's "people"'s problem, not mine.Also, complaining about difficulty at the start is hilarious. Bosses in first 10-15 hours have like 3 moves each, how can you fail to learn their movesets?
>>538165136I agree about the bosses but the rosary costs are excessive even if you find every secret stash and never die.
>hunters march
>>538164974its good against bosses that move a lot
>new boss>10 million adds with immune spin attacks>3+ phasesim losing my will to play
I didn't realize you could save Grindle, I thought you needed to buy the 500 rosary bead at the start. He's not here anymore...
Is the top bench in bilewater literally just bait?
wheres sherma? im in act 2 now. someone said she appears in the pilgrim's rest in far fields but i never saw her in my multiple trips to buy out his shit in act 1.
I accidentally knocked Lace into the lava: https://files.catbox.moe/jic8vf.mkvDunno if she took damage or not from it.
>>538167053Yes, enjoy the 8 minute long runback to the boss
>>538167087god damn her voice is so cute
>cogwork wheelenter the blender. melts small grounded enemies that can can get knocked back since it knocks them into more hits from itself, and for big enemies, you intentionally trigger their backsteps during it so they backstep into more hits from the cogwheel.
>have to pay to unlock bencharen't these supposed to be like a beacon of hope on your adventures? like you are supposed to feel relief when seeing one of these. whats the logic behind paywalling this shit. explain
Should I have met the "historian" by now? I have 4 fast travel points unlocked in act 2 and a bunch of items that seem like they're meant to be sold to someone.
>BilewaterThis is pure fucking cancer.
>>538168776>explainUhh... git gud?
>>538168776faith ain't free pilgrim now cough up
>>538168279I'm not far at all in the game, (she's the last boss I beat), but she's been my favorite boss so far. Love her name, swift fighting style, and the haughty rich girl personality she has.
Do I need some mobility upgrade to get there, or there's another way up?
>thrown pins can parry projectiles and proc iframes
>>538169119historian is in bellhartthe "other" in vault
>>538155618Is there a way to find cartographer girl location?I encounter her 4 hours ago, and I was broke and couldn't afford a maps, I am afraid to go into sinner's road with all that beads I find with my awesome wall jumping mechanic.
>>538169823uuuuushtadorlailailailai
How do you beat the big ant in the marrow…where's my shade cloak…
>>538169892She is nowhere to be found. Sadge.I liked HK system, buy a map from a shop.
>>538170029it's literally the same system
>>538170008Nevermind did it immediately after posting this.
>>538170183In HK when you couldn't afford a map, you can go to his wife shop and buy the map there.There is no shop here, so you should use that stupid 80 beads to 60 beads_on_a_string mechanic or risk to lose all beads when blindly explore.
>>538169440downloading skills rn
SEXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Is there any good reason at all that the rosary magnet shouldn't also pick up shell shards?
>>538170595Well, it's the rosary magnet.
>>538159597filtered
>>538170595Better explain to me, why it doesn't suck beads from spike kills?And doesn't suck from piles of beads
>>538169772Found it thank you. I completely forgot that there's more just the ground floor there. I WENT THAT FAR AHEAD WITHOUT THE NEEDLE UPGRADE FUCK
>>538170876Yeah actually I don’t remember hazards deleting geo back in HK.
>>538170493>There is no shop hereBro...she hangs out in bone bottom as well. Take the fast travel back to bone bottom and climb the rocks to the right of the fast travel, she's up there if she has stuff to sell you.
Just beat Savage beastfly, though I did die onceWhen does the filter start again
>Long ass runback>Cancerous enemies all the way through>A gauntlet with the same enemies followed by the bossJesus fucking christ.
>hunter's marchOkay that's enough for now time to take a break.
>>538157387>>538158113it’s triggered by silk hearts>>538156669Way easier when you reach the citadelI’m like 80% sure I’ve found every movement upgrade but i keep running into areas with nothing to bounce on where i’m just barely missing enough height to get through. Most of my map is completely filled out and i have nearly all the fleas with the locations of the rest marked. I’m still missing two crests and several upgrades, what the fuck is this game hiding from me.
>>538171107She is not here.
>>538171601Smack the ring
>remember everyone laughing about how easy SS would be and how HK is casual garbage>game releases and everyone is getting destroyedFeels so good.
anyone found the "ornate clamp" key? dock bell
Where is the ||third key in the cell ?||
>>538171547>Way easier when you reach the citadelYeah, I was making a joke that people grind for them and complain and there is a literal treadmill that gives you 1 bead for running on it.
Well?
>>538171732Thank you.Why the fuck, this bugging fucking bitch didn't tell me about fucking ring before I hit it? This ring look exactly like every other bit of the scenere, there were no pop up "hit the ring", like in the SLOB with "attack", I have to go to the forum to ask people.
>>538171525LOL same going on to bellhart and shellwood instead.
>>538159289If she parries your attack, then just back up / jump backwards (you can tell she's parrying by the sound). Seems after ever parry, she'll go ora ora on you, but if you back up, it should be an easy dodge. You can probably go forward over her head too, but I feel most comfortable moving backwards.Her forward lunge is easy to predict and dodge due to the obvious tell (picrel).Her jump strike I got hit by maybe a lot (the upwards part), so I don't have much advice on it, but when she come downs, that should be easy to dodge by just moving to a different spot.In the second half, her dwarf star move is probably the easiest move to dodge: use sprint if you're in the orb's hurtbox.Took me like an hour to beat her. Here's my messy win if it helps: https://mega.nz/file/NbJlyAbL#ZpPyxqjWF-uRLaSqhWM5WTHDdxv9bIbN3SFVJXR3X_g
>>538172352Reinforces core mechanics. Having a hard time during a runback should be an indicator that you need to practice the fundamentals again. Practicing the fundamentals will make the bosses easier by extension.
>>538171525that mid sized ant and flying ant in the first combat gauntlet gave me more trouble than any of the bosses I've fought so far
>>538169892i'm more of a ZANZIBOUUUU kind of guy myself
>>538171380Bilewater is one hell of a place huh.>>538172118Don't bother looking you're not gonna find it any time soon.
>>538172852when the runback is a parkour section with those spin-around-the-platform fuckers, I don't believe it's a fair "fundamentals check", it's pure annoyance and time-waste
do I need to play hollow knight before silksong? I'd like to jump on the hype right now
>>538172852It helped me beat flying fuck in the rain city.While running back I mastered my pogo jumping, and this retard is very susceptible for attacks from the top.>>538173032Does this mf will show up sometime in the future? I beat the fly without his help and I can't find him anymore
>>538172953Pogojump on the head of the fat one with wanderer crest on the left in the room, use all silk to heal.
>>538173451I played Hollow Knight, but never beat it (I get filtered real easily) and I'm on Silksong rn. I think it's fine to play without playing Hollow Knight, though you probably wont know who Hornet is.
>High Halls gauntletTHIS CANT BE REAL
So far, I've liked Silksong's first 6 hours more than Hollow Knight. HK's gameplay didn't really click for me until lategame, once I had acquired most of the mobility tools. While the difficulty ramped nicely mid to late game, the early game is a bit of a drag, something I noticed when replaying it several years later. Silksong feels good from the get-go. Also, I like the music more in Silksong.
>>538164168I found a third craftmetal, you probably need wallclimb and it's in far fields, at the bottommost left of the huge shaft, a secret hole in the ceiling, with a very annoying new enemy type
>>538174297there's one in the zone that needs a key in the fire docks
>>538174428yeah... but where's a key for that?I already bought and used the one sold in bonebottom
>massive runback in hunter's march>no bench outside chapel of the beast>parkour sections right before its entrance>the fucking diagonal pogo parkourFuck these devs. Dark Souls 2 tier horseshit.
>>538169607stuck here too rn, guess you need double jump for this?
>>538175083>Keeps dying over and over and needs a bench 1 cm away from the fightSounds like a massive skill issue
>>538175083Come back with the wallclimb, it skips the runback.
How do you get this flea in the Underworks? Been trying for like an hour now
>>538171380>That slow ass animation after the boss to bait you into thinking theres more>A bench pops upMotherfuckers knew exactly what they were doing.
>learn about captured event>sound funny>go there to do it>cage bug isnt there anymorei think i killed that super early, sucks that it doesnt respawn
Act 1>Act 2The bullshit is compounding upon itself. Why does every enemy and hazard deal 2 masks? Why are the quests so tedious? Where the fuck are my upgrades?
>>538175287>hurr git gud durrRunbacks are fucking time wasters. Simple as.
How do I open this fucking door?>>538175545I need this one too, I'll let you know if I figure it out.
diagonal pogo parkour is better than vertical (pro tip: you can't change my mind)
>>538176029you need to go to the travel room, the grey pin, and in the bed of bells break the hidden wall on the right side, it will reveal a big parkour section, at the end of it you end up there.it is a fight, you can open the door and run, but the enemy will disappear and I don't know where the hell does he go
Just beat the game, where the fuck is the double jump holy shitMy only guess is that it's at the end of the misty maze area west of the sinner's road but I guessed the solution to that puzzle would be revealed later in the story but I guess not
>>538175545There's a sub area you get to via Greymoor that takes you through to it.
>>538175545How are your flees marked?
>>538176850Its in the top left zone, you have to do a few jump puzzles while freezing to death.
>>538176850Mount Fay, past The Slab.
>>538177026>>538177030thanks bwos
Am i misremembering things or is Silksong way fucking harder than HK in general? The first half of the game was kinda piss easy but the later half had some crazy shit.
>>538177339Its on par with hollow knight after all of the DLC and patches, not release hk.
>>538176931NPC you rescue in a hidden area in Putrid Ducts, which itself is behind a breakable wall near where you rescue the merchant in the Memorium. She'll show up in the flea caravan and sell you marks for them
>sister splinter>another boss where the real boss are the fucking adds it keeps spawning
Those blowdarts fuckers in bilewater have some of the craziest tracking i've ever seen in a videogame. I feel like if im not above or below them i WILL get hit.
>>538177339I got 100% of all HK achievements but there's no fucking way in hell I'll be able to clear Silksong on permadeath, it's not even worth trying. It really feel like a Dark Soul thing where the devs know players already mastered the first game so they feel they have to ramp the difficulty up.Also not so much a difficulty thing but I feel like 90% of the enemies are flying this time around, and the way their AI is written is made to frustrate you by constantly staying slightly out of reach, just to encourage you to play sloppily.Oddly enough though the final boss felt much easier than Radiance. The one right before the Citadel's entrance gate took me hours while the final boss took me 3 attempts.
>>538178286Theres an achievement to 100% the game in under 30 hours and I know that shit is beyond me.
>>538176420Ffs and I thought I had double checked that room. thx anon.>>538175545I checked this one out but... no idea. There's this one metal door below that does nothing. I thought maybe something with the NPC above but that doesn't do anything either. Running on the treadmill yields a single rosary bead lol maybe running with extra speed does something different?
>>538175962It's called a PUNISHMENT YOU MONGOLOIDLONG FUCKING RUNBACKS ARE ESSENTIAL AND EXCELLENT GAME DESIGNIf it were up to me, runbacks would begin at the very start of the game. Gamers don't understand art.
>kill 25 crows for a tool upgradeRiveting gameplay.
>>538179217Yeah, the crows are fun enemies.
>>538179427Epic bro, I'm so glad we have bottombin MMO quests in Hollow Knight now. Fibding secrets and upgrades while exploring is soooo passe.
>>538177339In HK enemies rarely did 2 mask damage, in Silksong almost every boss and big enemy does.Also it feels like you progressed much faster in HK than Silksong.
Gotta love sequels that try to be harder than their predecessors, and then go overboard.
>>538179879The funny thing is they said in an interview they wanted to make it more 'approachable' for people that didn't play the original HK.You can tell that all their internal testing was only done by themselves and people that speedrun the og HK.
If you complete the witch crest quests you lose all of your spools forever. It's a long one too, so you can't even load the game's automatic backup. You'd think someone would have caught this in playtesting.
90% of bosses dropping absolute jack shit for rewards is pissing me off, at least give me some fucking money.
Music in Silksong is kind of a minor downgrade but everything else is either about the same or better thank pre-DLC HK.
>>538180369I had that happen as an unrelated thing when I equipped a specific series of charms. When you get a new spool upgrade it fixes itself.
Am I supposed to fight this thing with 1 needle upgrade? It takes me like 2-3 minutes to stun her once, and that's with all my poisoned tacks.
>>538181604yeah... but I got all spools
>>538181573I disagree, the area and boss themes are great. Citadel has been stck in my head all day.
>>538181689took me like 10 tries with no upgrades, just hit it until it dies. stuns don't mean you dealt X% damage, they just happen when you do a certain number of hits in a short time. meaning if you're not getting stuns it's not a matter of low damage, it means you're not capitalizing on openings.
>>538181689I have the second upgrade and i haven't even seen that thing. Every time i come into these threads i find out about another zone or boss i missed.
>>538181893Good then, I was honestly expecting her to have a ton of phases.
>room which leads to the slab is a dead end if you pogo to get there before having wall-jumpBooooo. Are there ANY actual sequence breaking opportunities?
>>538172852The runback for the Bilewater boss was absolute aids but my god did it help feel good when i beat the fucker. Probably would feel pretty lame without the runback because its not that hard of a fight.
Is there some final upgrade I'm missing that's just a vertical version of Crystal Heart? I've painted like 95% of the map (I have every flea, every quest given to me done, etc) and I'm sitting in front of the final boss. I said fuck it and looked up the map to see if I was missing any small singleton thing and I see that there's like five or six little areas that imply sub dungeon or at least a significant piece enough to warrant art on the map itself and all of them are just straight vertical leaps well beyond harpoon + double jump.
>>538171314Savage Beastfly 2 is the real boss
>>538182446Just got wall jump and entered the slab by accident. Now I'm naked, the outdoors hurts me, and my little kung fu kicks barely regain silk. I am cold and alone and scared. At least my buddy Grindle is here.
I'm using Reaper since I unlocked it. Any reason I should go and get wanderer? Beast sucks
>>538183848Wandered is the hollow knight moveset and pogo so if you are deadset on it go for it. It attacks faster but has a much shorter range than reaper and standard.
>>538159597Tbh I prefer that the progression is a bit more streamlined. Hornet wants to go to the Citadel and she has to ascend, so she goes little by little.Some people will dislike this ofc but I prefer it this way
>>538183108>Quality of life
>Boss flew offscreen>locked forever in the room with the boss music still playingsmartest move by an enemy by far
>went with the caravan>apparently missed a bosscan I fight them later?
>>538169575New Hollow Knight: LaceDance when
>>538184606Yeah the boss shows up when they move again. Its a shit boss that drops no reward though.
>>538184531>all those masksI'm guessing you're near the end and everything does three masks of damage...
>>538184606I think so, and funnily enough, that's not the only way to skip that boss
>>538183848wanderer is the hk moveset which means you also lose the hangtime that jane silksong gets on her downward attacks, in other words you pogo faster, but at the same time you pogo faster.
>>538183108I am going to install it. There is no way these fuckers spend 7 years designing runbacks to the bosses in a way that will teach players necessary mechanics to actually beat the boss.
>all the tools are kinda trash>find explosives>it hits like 5x as strong as my nailZAMN
>>538184531>It happened AGAINBet it's the lingering poison damage that's the cause. Fuck, what will I do without my cheesy drones...>>538184817cleaning up the map after beating the final boss. afaik nothing does 3 masks of damage. Nothing that I have encountered at least
>>538185007The drill you find after the red drill bug thing also does giga damage because it hits enemies 3 or 4 times every time it passes through them.
>>538183848So you beat Splinter Sister right?There is a trick. Use wanderer and pogo jump from the summoned fucker on top of the screen, and then start pogojumping and mashing attack on top of the boss, you will get hit, but for your 2+2 masks of damage you drop boss to a stun state, every time. It feels like cheating. And it only possible with the fast attack speed of the wanderer
I killed the guys who were supposed to kidnap me, how the hell do I get into the slab proper now?
>>538179217Kill the big ones retard, the guy specifically tells you so...
>>538185479Yeah I'm in the citadel already
>>538185496I think you can get captured at bilewater.
>>538181893Well that took more tries than 10. Not gonna lie, I really like Silksong bosses. Trying to do them without learning their moveset properly just gets you stomped time and time again, you can't just outDPS them.
>>538185007The poison tacks are pretty good too.You throw like 5 tacks, that each individually trigger their poison.And they stay on the ground, so it's pretty easy to hit enemies with it even if you 'miss'.
>shit’s difficult but doable>go to sinner’s road>a pack of cockroaches skullfuck me in 3 seconds flatrain world shit
finally beat the shitty bird arena and climbed the balloons, where to next?
Double jump is in the snowy area in the slab right? The outdoor section up top?
>>538186389Im pretty sure they expect people to skip those roach dogs by going over the cages. They're so fucking obnoxious.
>>538185496i did the same, the capture guy appeared infront of greymore bellway for me afterwards (right at the entrance to it)
I am coming to accept that I will not be good enough to Steel Soul Silksong.
>>538186471all the way to the left, then to the top, its one big platform section
>over 48 hours since release>not a single player on steam has the cartographer achievement yetwhat the fuck
>dying to last judge death explosion doesn't count as a winLmao. Ended up being one of the easiest bosses for me, and getting to him doesn't even take long. He had the most obvious attack tells of all bosses so far, all attacks were easy to evade and there were a lot of openings for healing. No adds either which is great.
>>538187651Yeah something is still missing. Probably well hidden. I have very few leads currently though what or where, just some locked doors without a key, a flea that's weirdly unreachable... dunno
>>538186389theres a "safe" path through them. i think one of the quests even show you it.
>>538186403Left
I NEED CRAFTMETAL
What did they mean by this?
Why are there two of them, is it safe to seat?
>unlock double jump>platforming is now harderhuh
Whats the condition to get upgraded by Eva? I got my main crest upgraded and a free yellow trinket slot so far but i just went back there randomly.
>>538188790It is but you have to pay for every use, just save and quit to cheese them.
>>538187239Any way to shield from the cold or will it be running towards heaters like on the way to retrieve my gear?
What is the deal with the flea quest? Should I turn it in or wait? Something about a bossfight.>>538126407Thanks, this worked great.
>>538189054thanks
>>538189216nope gotta go fast
it finally clicked for me how to navigate the mist, i'm so fucking retarded
What the fuck is the point of the tool that lets you backdash when you can just use your normal dash?
>>538189780I shall become speed, thank you kindly friend. I wish you a QT3.14 boyfriend-free girl in your future.
>you can kill every bug on the route to the citadel before taking the meat delivery quest to clear the wayI'm a genius
Devs won't make any changes, it would put into question wtf they were doing over the last 6 years. The game is what you see is what you get. Shame, because it could have been good.
>>538190063what's the quickest route?
>people complaining about dropping beads>won't make rosaries because of the "waste"
Took three hours of nonstop CBT, but I did it.>>538172556>not smacking every single thing in sight at all timesngmi
>>538190090>t.filtered by 45 degree pogo
>>538188867silk hearts
>>538190326it's bad game design.
>>538184720That'd be pretty cool. Maybe "HK: White Lantern" or something since the butterflies dance around her. (Like moth to lights at night)
How do I get here?
Widow is cooler and sexier than Lace.
Can someone remind me where the guy that plays dice is? I had no dosh when i met him and now i forgot where he is.
>>538190684don't ever say that shit in my presence again, you little fucker
Bros, I have ran into a wall in my Silksong game.. Do I need to go through Sinner's path to progress, or is it optional like the ant place?I fucking hate that I need to run so far to get back when I die, which I do because of the fucking dogs.
>>538190568No, its just game design you don't have muscle memory with yet.
>>538155618I'm at the greymoor bellhome how do I open it? He keeps asking for a tasty specimen
>>538190657You'll need double jump to fully explore, but you can take a quick peek if you lead an enemy there to pogo off them up the wall.
>BilewaterI thought I was gonna unalive myself there.
>>538190851Its an alternate optional path to the citadel. You want to go to Blasted Steps which is further left.
>>538190927You'll find what to give him in a different area, you should know it when you see it.
>>538191018>Closest bench to the boss is bait>The reward for the boss is a benchPeak asshole design.
I'm just waiting for the general playerbase to hit this clusterfuck nightmare. You think the difficulty complaints are bad now? Just wait.
>>538191534That specific gauntlet is going to make a lot of journalists mad.
>>538190964I see. And where's the jump, if I may?
>>538191534your second tool bro?
>>538191763How much worse is it than the bird one?
Can you get to sinner's road without double jump?
>all these areas listed I haven't exploredMeanwhile I think Greymoor is where my journey ends.
>found widow but haven't beaten her yet>need to finish exploring the slab>got rectally ravaged and butt hurt in hunter's march>haven't bought key from merchant yetso i can get the key and unlock the deep docks door since I don't really care about wanderer's crest and explore more of that area. i can head back to the slab and explore more and try to get double jump. i can go after widow. or i can try hunter's march again, is there anything cool there like a movement skill or tool or just an ability? i also need to go back to shellwood and get 3 more polyps for the poison charm, so that's another option.
>Can challenge the big ass silk thingso thats it then?Thats the game?I barely got 15 hours, and I took my time and died a lot. damn.
>>538192131Yeah, wall cling is enough
>>538192062Its way worse. Almost every wave is dangerous and the final wave is a massive test of patience if you don't just dump all your tools at the bosses.
>>538192265scratch the double jump, think i need the ability to pull myself between rings before i can nab it.
>2nd area is a lava zone>3rd area is a lava zone>4th area also has a lower lava zoneENOUGH
>>538192301I just beat it, so that's it?That's it, wow. 6 years btw for 15 hours
>>538192062Far far worse. 10 waves of mostly flying enemies. The double miniboss part is the worst fight in the game.
>>538192265hunter's march only has a crest and it's objectively the worst, you just can't do parkour in it, the downslash does a parabola curve, but you can at least buy the map for ityou should beat the widow, she's a cool fight and gives you the ability to unlock some areas and upgradesyou could try going to the right of shellwood, it has some exploration stuff and an npc, also I'd like to know if you can reach that other area without using the key
Anyone give the architect crest a fair shot? Drill attacks are fucking cool but i can't be fucked using it until i unlock more of its slots.
>>538189275Apparently turning in the flea quest removes a bossfight. So if maybe hold off if you wanna fight him. He's kinda annoying though
>>538193120i'm guessing that either area i don't unlock with the key i can probably get to later, otherwise the cartographer achievement would not be possible. went back to the slab and found half a spool upgrade i missed so thats good, working my way back up to that big jumping area at the top to see if there's anything cool up there, forgot i only went up when i was naked so i didn't have most of my skills to explore.
>>538193437>run down and start the bossfight>run all the way back to the air current and ride it back up>run back to the very left of the door you jumped down from>you can do jumping downward attacks and just clip him through the floormay need the reaper crest with the extra range, but it can be easily cheesed.
Bilewater might be the best (shittiest) poison swamp in the history of video games. The fake bench is just perfect. What an amazing gauntlet of pure fucking bullshit.
Beat the two drills, a very fun fight imo. It's busy but has a good rhythm and no adds or similar bullshit.
I have 4 crests, am I missing any more or that's just it?
>>53819426995% of the bosses are great but the bad ones are fucking awful
>>538193978Agreed. The zone made me extremely mad while getting through but its so intentionally cancerous that i can't help but like it in hindsight.
Forum status : CompletedGame Journalist : Melted
I kinda understand why a fat fly groundpounding me would take 2 masks, but just touching the slob does 2 masks too?do the enemies just have a preset damage and no matter the type of hit, it does the same damage always?
>>538194582I just wish it were an actual boss. Arenas are uninteresting in comparison to a good boss.
>>538194582that fight just kept going
>>538195070Haven't felt like that since some of the late floors of the underworld in nioh 2. "Oh, so you beat your third group of double bosses and think you're done lol?"
>>538194789Pretty sure enemies in HK had different attacks with different damage. I don't know why it's not a thing in SS now.
Contact damage is going to be this game's biggest meme.
>>5381959032 mask contact damage from stunned enemies is insane.
Should something happen here or it's just an empty zone?
>>538195985>doing an infinite pogo on top of the boss>it hits me with its janky ass hit box and i need to heal>gotta get some more hits in>suddenly it plummets from the sky and my timing is thrown off>i land on it>diei can't even be mad. it's kind of funny
Is there a better runback to the clockwork dancers? Jesus christ every run back is fucking cancer.
So do I have to run to the Widow fight from here RED or is there a way to open a nearby bench BLUE?
>>538196606Oh wait you can play a song
>>538196626Bosses having hitboxes in their stubs & stun recovery is fucking absurd to me.
>>538196606Maybe a quest about blue masks like in Hollow Knight? Dude named Joni
>>538196690From red. What's the issue the run back is easy, you can sprint past all the annoying stickbug enemies before they spawn.
Is there something to do in here? I'm in the Marrow, above the entrance to Hunter's March And how do I get in there?
https://strawpoll.com/XOgOVb3lon3
>>538197657Go to the bellhart fast travel, then look in the bottom right of it for a secret wall.
Are there "crits"?I just oneshot Pilgrim Pouncer by pogoing on her head once (wanderer's crest), and it made a special sound effect
>>538197940witch
Do you get anything at all after fighting the final boss? Any new area, items etc? I kinda lost as to what else to do right now.
>>538197657In Bellhart fast travel to the right before jumping the platforms to go back to the town you can break the wall and then if you keep going down you'll eventually find a lever to unlock the shortcut to the marrow
man, fuck this guy, just wasted 50 rosaries in 5 seconds
Anyone have any tips for that room that keeps spawning those different ants? When I first tried that room the map seller came to help, but I still kept dying there. Now that I have explored elsewhere and went back she's not spawning there to help anymore making the room even more harder to clear.
>the trailer showed Hornet with 8 fucking masks at Sister SplinterWHERE THE FUCK ARE ALL THE MASK SHARDS!?
>>538198049nwm, I think I figured it outit was against this specific bunch and I think I might have stricken the right one's head and deflected a thrown bell into her at the same time.The question becomes whether the deflected bells indeed do this much damage
>>538198164You can savescum friend
>>538198709>18 hours in>found exactly 1 (one) shard
>>538198404where is that?
>>538198709hidden away
>>538199758They should have made some into boss rewards. Too many bosses drop nothing.
I am fighting this boss with a club and he's absolutely demolishing. I have no idea where to go and have nothing really unlocked. I'm very confused.
Where do i get the map for the zone above bilewater?
>>538200274Come back with the dash
>>538200463I have a dash/sprint already unlocked. All I can do is pogo this guy but he takes so many hits.
>>538200661Go kill Lace in Deep Dock and move on for now, he's guarding an even harder optional zone.
>>538201049I suck.
how many weapon upgrades are there? I just upgraded it a third time (from the restaurant quest) and the nigga says there's more oils out there. Anyone know where the 4th one is?
>>538198164where is this guy? I'm at end game and never found him
silksong more like silksucks lol how do they fuck up so bad with a seven year dev time and infinite money
>>538201103Its fine dude, its a hard game. I'm getting my ass filtered in act 2.
This game fucking shit. I love it
>>538200274>>538200661Get the boomerang curveclaw tool from the ant vendor (you need dash to reach him). With good positioning it hits 3-4 times and It's probably the strongest tool in act 1.
>actual fetch quests, collect 25 of this thing from this enemy that drops it <100% of the time>hornet is constantly surrounded by a sphere of darkness that keeps me from seeing where i'm going and using my hyper-mobility effectively to have fun exploring the world>i find a safe(?) platform and a giant axe swings from the ceiling and kills meturns out the devs were the clowns the whole time, nice sequel.
>>538201421idk, the triple throwing pins do some pretty insane work
>>538201194he's in the Marrow bench right below the Hunter's March entrance, where Grindle goes where you first rescue him, no idea what was the trigger to get him here
>>538201608>25 of this thingyou mean the spines? it's the projectiles and not the enemy, you can hit him once, let him shoot, then destroy the thrown projectilesI don't think I've had a quest with random drops except the silver bells, you just gotta roam the place and they spawn randomly, really annoying
>>538202201The bells shit is just super annoying. Just hide a few bells in fixed locations like the polyps or lifeblood blooms, why are they a random spawn? Who enjoys this?
I'm really struggling with knowing where to go in this one for some reason. Don't remember having this problem in HK. I feel like I've explored every corner of the map.
thanks for this shell shard chest at the end of this hidden path team cherry, I'll definitely come back here when I dropped from 500>>538202441just do everything in your power to go towards the objective, even if there's a door with a simple lock, everything else is very optional
Holy shit I thought there are only two acts
>>538202441I'm abusing the fuck out of my marker pins.
>>538194582>>538191534what zone is this in? i'm scared
>>538203070High Halls. Try to go in with two needle upgrades and a good tool setup. Kinda shocked its mandatory.
>>538201103Bro, I left him until I beat almost all of act 1. He's parry bait but punishes you hard if you mistime. Using tools helps a lot as well, the line trap one can hit him 5 or 6 times if you aim at where he's going to pop from the ground. Also, bring him back into the tunnel you came in from, it's too short for him to jump in there so he'll just repeatedly burrow and punish as he comes from the ground or take two swings that you can dodge away from.
>First sinnerJesus fucking christ thats a fast fight.
>>538201421>have to go through hunters marchwhat else does he carry? If I'm going to do that shit it needs to be once so I better have enough rosaries lol.
>>538203630sounds like bad advice, he's really easy when he can jumpget close, attack, if he starts swinging back away and dash, if he jumps just walk below him and attack because he doesn't turn around, that's all you need to kill him
>>538203763I dunno because he died in act 2
>>538201421>merchant is deadI guess no boomerang for me
>>538204070Another NPC will sell items you can't obtain anymore
Friend is here again!
where you farming in act 2? i use the first shrine path to the clock fight
Was it really necessary to make you parkour all the way to her after every attempt?
Spent another day getting lost in the labyrinthine hallways of the citadel and I am absolutely loving iton the side if you die while dealing a deathblow to a boss or a gauntlet, it still counts, pic related finally beating Romeo
>>538204434Yes, and you better memorize it. You'll eventually need to do a fetch quest that requires that exact same parkour to get a weapon upgrade.
>>538204419that's what I used, also make sure to equip the charms that boost rosary drop rate
>all through hollow knight kinda wonder what bugs look like without clothes>hornet doesn't hesitate to show off the goods
Where the FUCK are all the rare metals?
>>538205301i didnt know there was one. i only have the magnet charm for rosaries
>>538205965They wouldn't be rare if they were laying around everywhere.
>>538205965I've gotten one craftsmetal from the merchant at bone bottom and another from a hidden spot in marrow? but I haven't found any others yet. I spent them at the forge daughter already and just found another spot needing metal above the large tower to the west of the halfway house (something explosive was the description).
Somebody was asking where to find more craftmetal. Just found some at blasted steps.
If I struggled with Moorwing should I just give up now?
>>538164974I don't know why but I do my best against bosses when I equip it.
>>538206443>>538193974
>>538206579Oh I got him but I had to admit defeat with the NPC help, who actually wasn't that much of help anyway.Took many tries.
>>538206443Nah but be prepared for several more struggles. I am coming to accept that Steel Soul will be too much in this game.
>>538206781It feels like they designed this game for the 118% crowd and not us commoner scum.
>the wisp boss pogo haters are not ready my god
Been avoiding /vg/ and /v/ for spoilers. Did the contrarian pendulum hit yet like with Elden Ring? Or is 4chan still pretty positive.
>>538203750I just did it. Peak fight, might be my favorite in the entire game.If feels like the boss is mashing the attack button just as fast as me lmao
>>538207215I assume most people are posting as they're playing, and what stops someone from playing and gets them posting is annoyance and anger, so I'd say it's quite negative but biased, because the times they post is directly correlated to the hardest sections
>>538206989I got 112% and I'm getting dumpstered by some of these arena gauntlets.>>538207215Nah we're in a toxic positivity state where any criticism is met with "git gud". 2 mask contact damage on stunned enemies is BASED!
>>538207215Eh ebbs and flows. I'm enjoying myself but there are times that I feel something is just a bit too ball busting. There's enough to do that you can go somewhere else then come back later so unless its a mandatory boss that you're stuck on it isn't too bad.
>>538207020Is there any boss that isn't pogo meta?
>>538208104Weaver is just dash+attack with Wanderer crest, and when in melee, just spam attack. Also heavy weight belt helps stay in range.The second phase was just a bloodbath, hit 10 times, heal, hit 10 times, heal.
How do i get through here?
>>538207436Yeah its a great fight. It also looks a lot harder than it actually is at first. Just gotta be patient with the 1 hit windows you get.
>>538209787from the other side
just by the first enemy, I can tell this sinner area is going to be another hunter's march garboa spastic rat-dog with a lunge-grab that deals 2masks, fuck off
>beat Widow>that wasn't too bad>Widow 2
>>538208104Clockwork Dancers. You hug either wall while doing a vertical wall dash and you'll never get hit. Just wait for them to be either directly above or below you.
>>538210391was a good fight, one of the first few where you dont get vomited adds
>>538210261You don't have to fight them. Those dogs were probably meant to be skipped seeing how those zones they're in were built.
It's getting harder to not try 3 or 4 times to beat a boss legit and then going to look up some tips or cheeses cause having to walk the entire length of hallownest and defeat a coliseum worth of projectile throwing flying enemies isn't fun>wah the way back is supposed to be punishingif I wanted to replay the game already I would start a new save
>>538210581but there's a quest to kill 10 of them, and it sets the tone of the area
>>538210391Widow 2 isnt that bad, its a totally fair fight. Just stand between the silk lines and dont greedy. Definitely one of my favorites in the game.
I could see people doing steel soul mode in HK but you probably need some giga autism and a couple thousand hours to do that shit in Silksong.
>>538210606if you want to, there's already a mod you can install that respawns you at the door of the boss, skipping the runbackits https://www.nexusmods.com/hollowknightsilksong/mods/46
Anything essential to do before going on to act 2?
I think all I can do that I haven't done is to buy this 500 dolla $$$ key and open up all these dang old' doors all over the placePlease, God, tell me it's not one time use.Also that lever in greymoor to remove the floor can eat my whole asshole. I'm guessing I'm locked out of going up until wall/double jump or something to get across the gap.
>>538212117Its a one time use.I have found 4 simple locks.
>>538212117If you're on the left side of the bridge now, then yeah you'll definitely need dash and drift skirt. Think I was able to explore the whole upper area just by pogoing off of balloons and using the sprint jump drift to get across to the next pogo balloon.
>>538212216>Its a one time use.
man, architect is pretty nice, especially since i just got the cogfly but holy shit am i eating through my shards.
>>538212472I don't think I can make it with just sprint and jump? It misses it by a bit. I've already tried once, the run back just to jump into the pit again doesn't sound worth it until I can make it 100%.
>>538212717>found that tool creation spot>out of crafting stonesI'm in shambles
>>538212735Fuck, I meant sprint jump and parachute cloak
Any tips for beating Judge boss at Blasted Steps? I get rekt in second phase.
Honestly dont mind the double damage however touch damage should only be one mask
PSA: There's so much more stuff after true ending. So if you feel stuck trying to get everything before finishing the final boss like me... now you know that you can't. Also get your shit in order before you do that it's a point of no return and you really wanna have upgraded everything as much as possible, tutorial's over.
>>538213017Put on the tool that reduces fire damageHeal midair
>>538212801same, i had to redo the trek back the long way. its worth it though, these little fuckers shred
>>538213017only hit when she does the ground pound, if she's off screen she's most likely going to throw her weapon so dash away and you can heal at that moment, try to stay away from the wall
>>538213186Yeah I will definitely be back, I'm just out exploring now. Its my fault for burning all my crafting stones at forge daughter. But I'm sure I'll find another soon.
Japanese HK
>>538213521>not the ugly bastard nude slave section
>>538213108So are you saying there's a post-game with more content? I'm assuming final boss is at the highest point of the cradle, will I be locked out of anything if I fight it early?
>>538213020Stunned bosses shouldnt deal contact damage at all, its actual bullshit to take 2 damage because something fell on you.
>>538213582>So are you saying there's a post-game with more content?Yes, new content, new areas, new skills, new bosses, new enemies.>will I be locked out of anything if I fight it early?I can't say for sure. But it looks like the important parts stay intact as far as I can tell. You probably can miss out on some stuff like some NPCs die and I don't know if they had any questline or anything.
Enemies that look like a joke should not be impossible
>>538213946interesting...one last question so I don't end up wasting my time looking: There's quite a few interactables I've found that require special keys or items and such, are any of those locked behind post-game to your knowledge or can I find the items before then?
where's the path here? I go up and just see regular walls
>>538214425I know one is post-game, which is the bell thing in the deep docks Not really much of a spoiler btw. but it's completely pointless to look for the key/item you think you need because it's post-game content.
>>538214671Yes but you have to go the long way around (bottom right bench, needs harpoon)
I am bad at this game because I don't have a controller, that's what I tell myself before I go to bed everyday.
>>538214729ok that's helpful thanks, that was one of ones I was thinking about
>>538214865Bottom left on the image I posted. I'm retarded.
are the deliveries shit just infinite?
anyone else think this game would be about 25% better if hornet just didn't talk?
>>538215267Nah I love the contrast from HK. Its fun having a protag with personality.
>>538215264regular ones are, but there are several special one-time ones that unlock as you progress
>>538215267Absolutely fucking not. I hate hate hate hate hate hate silent protagonists and Hornet specifically is a cutie.
I can't get past those niggers who throw the big bombs. Its fucking over.
>hunters march gauntlet room
I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing now.It's annoying, but in a bemusing way.
>>538216470jk ez once all the flying fucks played nice and got into my silk storm
>>538215267the problem is, she doesn't talk enough, why the fuck doesn't she scream SHAW or HEGALE when using the skill??
>>538190159Shellwood into Blasted Steps into Great Gate, then up through the Citadel. You can afford 1 hit.
I unlocked the Citadel town but I don't really know where to go now
>>538217974Far left and up through Shellwood, there's a vertical climb. Unless you need the climb power which is in Shellwood regardless.
Wow, Graymoor genuinely takes this game from a 9/10 to a low 7.9. What a genuinely tedious, unfun, janky area. Thank you for the seven years, Team Cherry.
What is up there, the fight is the big ant and a flying fuck. Already cleared out the vendor (curve claw tool for 140, fractured mask blue slot on the crest for 260) and am deciding if I want to fight them again, wasting a lot of shards on my tools for the fails.
>>538218741I think it's like 100 rosaries, very much not worth it, but you can use like the boomerang or tripleshot and spam to kill the flying fuck for an easy(er) fight
>>538218741I remember it being something dogshit like rosaries or some shit
Please tell me you can fix the bench in Sinner's.
>>538218741actual garbage if i recall. rosaries or something and not even a good amount.
>>538218741200 beads, could farm more than that in the time it'll take you reallyfell for the exploration thinking it would be as rewarding as hk again award
>>538218975break a wall up left in the bench room
I just found out you can remove grubrot by building up and using a heal...
>Greymoore gauntlet>Moorwing
>>538219403Would be really wild, if it only allowed to reset it at benches. I noticed you can do it early, since enemies are so tanky, so it's easy to fill up.
How do you guys fight the scissor dudes? I can beat them, but it's a long battle of walk up to them, then hit or dashback (if they are about to attack), and repeat. Takes even longer since they will parry my damage occasionally.
>>538219973downslash as he attacks, putting you behind him to attack again makes quick work of himyou just gotta be good with the downslash as too early or slightly off and you'll get grabbed
This game is fucking retarded and bad and I hate all of you for thinking its good.
>>538220242Hugs and kisses to you too Butter Cup.
>>538219638I did mooring first. But I should have done the gauntlet instead. The reward is really useful once you go through the platforming.
>>538219973Spam down attack, all of his moves are horizontal, so you can bait the block and land behind him after or keep pogoing.
>>538220178>>538220496What about in narrow places? I've now reached Greymoor and they got these guys on narrow flooring.
Can you get more simple keys in act 1? I used the one you get from the shop keep on the door to the wyrm area
>>538220607Traps, throw daggers and the sting shard fucks them up if you don't have the maneuverability. Can also parry his attacks if you time it right.
>>538220607the running attack makes it a little easier to do hit and run because when it hits she does a backflip putting you farther away than a normal attackanother thing is to go up or down and get a free hit while he's scissoring through the floor
>>538219132Jesus Christ thank you anon.
Fuck...
Where do you find the Mushroom for the wish cant seem to figure where to find him after the pilgrim camp assuming it has to be in order Also act 3 fucks hard
>>538222060Are you stuck there? I'm in Greymoor rn, and Warrior Girl told me I shouldn't go there, but I was curious, but it looked like there was a drop, and I was worried I would get stuck so I turned back.If it doesn't get you stuck, then I wanna go and try whatever's waiting there.
>>538222060Upgrade your crest to carry an additional tool I think both the starting and reaper crest can take two red slots. The string shard trap is really good against the small birds and will pull its weight.
>>538222392you do get stuck, and the only way out is by fighting 4 wakes of flying crows, extremely annoying
So im going to take a guess (im still in act 1, got to blasted steps) and say that there is a lore reason why benches cost money. There seems to be a religious theme and I guess they just rob everyone blind
How do I recharge my sting shard? I thought it was by sitting on a bench at first, but it's not working.
>>538222060They can't get away with this map designfar fields is not that bad
IS EVERY ROOM JUST A FUCKING GAUNTLET
Is there a bench between bilewater bellway and the boss.
>>538223315
how the FUCK do you unlock the quest that leads to act 3what the fuck am I missing
>>538223403yup
>>538179190>runbacks would begin at the very start of the gameThat's how Sony games with those long ass intros are unironically designed lol
>>538220689I also wanna know this, it feels so bad having like 2 or 3 doors locked and no keys in sight...
>Steel soul modeNice try. I'm not that autistic.Good game, 8/10. Hollow Knight was better.
>>538224425I was considering it, but now I'm not so sure after that cancerous bilewater boss
>>538179190>If it were up to me, runbacks would begin at the very start of the gamedon't worry, that mode is in the game
>>538224425I'm not playing SS ever for this game. HK felt very doable and fast, silky is gonna be a nightmare without ability to freely train against bosses separately yet. Silksong is better tho.
>>538224425
Lol missed opportunity to be able to equip two crests at once. This way you can switch on the fly for different encounters/ platforming
>>538225134if we whine and complain enough, they'll add style switcher in DLC
FUCK THAT SKULL TYRANT IT BROKE MY BENCH REEEEEEEE
>>538225828his friend got run over by a truck and this homeless nigga worried about his sleeping spot
can someone spoil me do i get dmg increase tools in the mid game? currently unlocked 5 areas and im still doing 2-3 hits to tutorial mobsif i remember correctly the first game has it
>>538226068yes____
I beat the game without finding double jump
>>538226267doesnt count as a "beat" then
how the fuck are you supposed to run this delivery to the fat fuck? it expires way before then. i ran this so many times all the enemies are dead on the path
I might be tapping out at Last Judge. I don't even want to think about how much game there is left.
>>538225956The Fixer survived who is the only bug there that matters. Thankfully he saved the bench.
>>538226389Literally kill everything ahead of time and hold down sprint, never let it go. No mistakes at all.
>>538226420it's a mid point or less, depending on how much you've explored
I'm only at Widow and I'm thinking I might be done with this game, and it's not even related to Widow.Those bell enemies leading to Widow? Only there to waste your time. Accidentally fall or jump into the big one? You clip through and take damage until you die. The little ones? spawn after a few seconds and are also there just to waste your time. All those flying enemies in Shellwood? There to waste your time.Sister Splinter? Easy mechanics, should be a first try boss. Oh wait, you take damage from her if you touch her toes while she's stunned. Those vines in the final phase? Attack them and you'll recoil into the one behind you. Why, Cherry?It's just a mountain of pet peeves with Silksong at this point.
>>538226389This is the route I took. It helps a TON on time if you have the charm that gives faster sprint and you can take faster shortcuts if you have double jump. With those two things, I got there with like 2.5 bars left, no hit.
>>538226389I made it in time while getting hit 3 times
>>538227087Theres a shortcut to Widow from Shellwood, you encounter 1 leafbug that is easy to sprint by.
>>538227087it gets so much worse in later areas anon
And the contrarian pendulum ticks...ticks...ticks...
how do I do the mist area?
Holy shit that Bilewater boss is ass... I ended up having to tool spam cheese it
>>538227102i dont think i can do it without either double jump or faster sprint. i need a full bar or 2's worth extra to make it right now.
>>538226961>mid point The Judge is just under a fourth of the game
>>538227087>not even the judge runback yet
>>538227394 Play your silly little harp around the passive wisps
>>538227087I really don't like the contact damage. I get it, I'm not good enough, but it's still annoying.>>538227805Jesus Christ.
Please, without spoiling, does this game answer any questions about Hollow Knight or tie back to the original story in any way? Or is this totally disconnected?
>>538227948ty
Me personally? I'm taking a break. I wasn't made to do a Metroidvania inspired by Souls week 1.
>>538228275in a sense. Depends on what you do during gameplay
>>538228275yes
>>538228145>I really don't like the contact damage.No its bullshit on a lot of stuff. I wish we had some iframes on the dash but it is what it is.
>>538228481HK wasn't as much but SS definitely is and the worst part of it, with the watch the boss do his thing before you can hit once thing and also figuring out the boss long ago and just waiting for a less bullshit rng so you can finally kill it
So what's your favorite crest?
https://files.catbox.moe/33h2lb.jpg
yesss another mmo fetch quest in my metroidvania! team cherry does it again boys, this is so peak
>>538229225Wanderer. It plays the same as Hollow Knight's default moveset, pogo included. Weapon range is kinda shit but there's a talisman that fixes that somewhat.Honestly downward and upward slash are broken in this game. The AI of most enemies and bosses can't handle that.
>>538229225The default hunter.
i wish more metroidvanias existed with wrpg stories and worldbuilding>you start off as nobody special, no "chosen one" or "prophesied hero" or anything like that>multiple civilizations with different cultures exist across the map>you develop a name and reputation for yourself and get paid by doing sidequests for npcs>progress is gated behind items and abilities, sure, but you still get a lot of character expression via specific builds of skills, weapons and perks>the world's got a deep history, but the overarching conflict and plot isn't really compulsory or locked on any timer, so you can explore and do whatever for all you wanti think it'd just feel good to play
>can't bind tool use to a single keywhy tho
>>538229225Hunter is perfect, but I'm starting to like Beast
>there is a secret room in the chapel of the architect>it has nothing in it>the chapel closes forever after you leaveBut why?
>>538229225They're all good in different situations. Reaper is probably the most fun as it allows you to spam silk skills.
>>538230062Did you tried using the needolin in that room? There's a bunch of lore hidden behind that action.
how do I get into act 3?
Does the equivalent to longnail exist? I've scurried like 95% of the map and I can't find it
>>538230614
>>538230614I know there is a charm that extends the needle length.
what do I do with this bell?
>>538230909post-game allegedly
>Sharpdart dash grants iframesWE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS BOYS
>>538226068You can get a damage upgrade for the needle after beating widow, one of the shops in the hanging bells in bellhart does it for you.
>>538231565I already got the bad ending I've exhausted everything I can think of doing... I just wanna to act 3
>>538230701i unironically found it just now, had the quest completed for a while and didn't think to report it lol
Gonna see what the game is all about and gonna start with Hollow Knight, is there any tips to it? as in should I play it blindly, have a wiki up, etc, anything a newcomer to the series should know
>>538233069If you've played metroidvanias before you should go in blind. There's fun in getting lost in the world.If you don't like the genre or have never tried it before you can ask questions as you go and peek at the wiki to find out where important upgrades are. Game like this are all about finding "keys" and figuring out or remembering where they are supposed to slot.
No boss in putrified ducts?I'm kind of stunned that what I think might be my last discovered region is so barren
>>538233069In my personal experience I thought the game was incredibly weak when I first started and almost dropped it. If the gameplay feels too simple at first just be aware they'll be dripfeeding you abilities throughout the game (sure, just like any other metroidvania, but you especially feel it in HK when your base abilities is just slow-walk and 4-directional attacks). It takes a while before you can actually start doing cool shit, but once you do, boss fights get really engaging.
>found evaoh so thats what im supposed to do there
>>538229225im liking architect alot so far. the power of BEEEEEEES
Is it just me or does the Reaper crest feel objectively better than the default crest? It legit feels like theres no drawback to it cause the basic attacks are basically the same range and damage but the downward attack is 10x better cause the hitbox is a giant crescent shape that guarantees you hit the enemy unlike the default down attack where you can get cucked and the enemies hit you if you're 0.0001 inches off. Not only that but healing puts you in an enhanced state that makes enemies drop orbs to recharge your silk really fast.
>>538229225Wanderer because it's so reliableThought I would have loved Witch and immediately wasted memory lockets on it without knowing binding can't heal if you aren't close enough to enemies. Fuck that.
>>538235954Reaper > Regular >>>>>>>>>> Beast
>>538235954I used it for a while in early game but the delay on down attacks is just too much for me
HOW DO I KILL THIS RETARDED BABY. I'VE HAD IT IN MY INVENTORY FOR LIKE 5 HOURS NOW AND ALL IT DOES IS SCREAM AND CRY. HOW DO I GET RID OF IT.
>>538235954you can do some bullshit pogoing for platforming cause it hits nearly on its left/right side. once you get harpoon, that value drops tho.
>>538236150
>>538236150what baby?
how do i get this flea?
>>538236597The baby you find in Bilewater. Completing that convoluted questline gives you the Witch crest
>>538236524fucking thank you holy shit. I was slowly going insane. At first I thought it was funny, then I was annoyed, then I was crying just as loud as it was.
>>538237653You're welcome. Meanwhile if you know where the fucking key for the lock in Whiteward is I'd love to take your hint
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcod4lkwLIAanyone know where to get the fire companion?
Why the difficulty curve of this game so all over the place? Greymoor was CBT with those stupid fucking birds and the combat encounter took me like 10 tries but the actual area boss Moorwing is piss easy and first tried it then after that Shellwood is weenie hut jr compared to Greymoor with the only remotely threatening enemies being the mantises which you skip anywas since they don't drop beads. Even before that, Bellbeast and the giant ant guy was several magnitudes harder than Fourth Chorus which is a borderline game journalist boss with how extremely telegraphed his two easy as fuck slow ass attacks are and extremely basic puzzle to finish it off.
People are going to get a lot of mileage out of this, aren't they.
>>538238052So I'm asking for help again... I'm stuck with the crest now and can't take it off. I went back to the witch and she's just a dried husk. How do I complete the crest quest?
>>538238461Difficulty depends greatly on tools and build. There are some builds that excel in one scenario or boss that'll get slapped down hard in others. Moorwing, for instance, can either be a cakewalk or a bitch depending on what your setup looks like or you can just cheese him since his arena doesn't lock you down.
>>538238654>>538238052Nvm I got it.
>>538238890>>538238654nw, I was confused at first too. Just had to talk to the dude in Bellhart to get the hint
>>538238508Very curvy bug.
>>538238461>the mantises which you skip anywas since they don't drop beadsThis is why the economy in this game is so dogshit, legit whats the point of fighting shit if they don't give you anything in return. Imagine if 70% of the enemies in metroid didn't drop missiles or energy or only 20% of the enemies in castlevania gives you EXP. How did they not once thought this was a bad idea in 7 years.
>>538238461>Moorwinglmaoooooooo he didn't find the fleas
>>538238461Yeah, it's kinda crazy. Imo the Choir/High Halls and Blasted Steps bosses were so much more difficult than anything else in the game. including the final fight. >>538238508I just know they knew wtf they were doing with that segment
>>538238508
>>538239270if you go straight right from the start of the game, you'll reach greymoor before you find even 3 fleas
Do you use parries?
>>538239170Too much commitment to the lore which I kind of respect even if it's shit tier gameplay design.Sure, beasts and tribesmen wouldn't be hoarding money. But it feels like shit to constantly be out of cash while exploring regions that don't have "civilized" people in it.
>>538239594what I don't get is the gauntlet arenas don't even drop shell shards, there's no reward at all, even though the very same enemies do drop shit outside
>>538238508hornet is literally a featureless stick figure that has an extremely agile combat style why do gooners draw disgusting off model borderline obese """art"""
motherfucker are you serious with this
>>538240408It's literally part of her run animation.
>>538240408they're underage third worlders, degenerates that have no taste, so they hyperexaggerate sexual aspects because more == better
>>538240614Same deal as the white flower in HK, bro. Just clear the path ahead of time without using a bench and the walk will be (mostly) a breeze. If you take no damage you have plenty of time to make it.
does anyone remember that place where you needed a craft metal to make an explosive tool? I found it early in the game and I didn't have markers then so I forgot where it was
Econ would be much less fucked if each boss dropped a large chunk of rosaries and shards instead of FUCKING NOTHING
>>538241003this maybe?
>>538237572where is it? I've already done bilewater and never found it
>>538241485ty
>>538241515I think you're missing a secret area in the north east of Whispering Vaults, which has an alternative entrance to Bilewater where the baby is hidden, if my memory isn't failing me. Kinda hard to make the diff between your map and mine, I still haven't cleared the misty area that links Sinner's road and Bilewater
>>538241515>>538242039>finishing bilewater boss without finding the secret checkpoint benchJesus anons I'm genuinely impressed, I would have killed myself
>everything about the Trobio bossfightGod this game is so peak
>>538239513Why would I? When enemies do it, you bounce of them, and they riposte hard. When you do it, they just keep attacking, and probably even push you back.
>>538160936>hornet looks so grotesque without the cloakYou shouldn't bodyshame girls bro
Imagine the shame and embarrassment from team cherry once we get speedruns of Silksong and every speedrunner has to spend 10 mins in a mid-late game area grinding beads to progress cause the bosses and combat encounters and most enemies give jack shit.
>>538242694this wont happen because speedruns won't be wasting using beads on benches and shitthere will be a ton of luring enemies to pogo for skisp tho, probably that fly near hunters march can be accessed without wallclimb
whats the dice do? crit chance?
I really love the running hunter's journal trend that Hornet keeps complimenting how soft and warm various bug fur coats are. She's a big softie~
Endgame question, where do I get the ornate key for deep docks bell and white ward device?
>>538242694Benches waste timeBut I can see Rosaries being patched into some boss fights as rewards. People forget what vanilla launch Hollow Knight was like.
>>538243104she is a princess after all
>>538243192>vanilla launch Hollow Knight was likenta but what was it like? I played HK only two weeks ago for Silksong
>>538242567If you land the first parry, just keep on attacking and you'll parry the rest of their flurry.
>>538243430But why not just dodge? Parrying seems more for style, rather than a greater risk for a greater reward.
Do not fucking tell me that my prize for that platforming without double jump was this fucking worthless slab of information
>>538243013Chance to take no damage
>>538243921well now you know it'll be easy as fuck with double jump and wall-climb and grapple. no worries bro
First thing that came to mind as soon as it happened, actually surprised it worked. GG Team CherryFinal boss spoiler btw
What's up with this thing? Is there some secret here?
>>538239002I got the witch virus but this guy isn't here wtf
>>538244819uhh skill issue?enjoy your bricked file ig, maybe there's an achievement for beating the game while still cursed?
I get the vibe that Hornet is on the 'tism spectrum
>>538244819idk if you need to talk with him, but he tells you to talk to the bell house guy in greymoor
I noticed that there are several out-of-the-way dead-end nooks where a couple enemies are in a sleeping quarters/camping. Is there any significance to that (secrets or something) or it's just a flavor/world-building?
>>538243921I just did that, both the dumb intended way and the shortcut way. If you start at the platform on the top right, you can dash jump past about half of it. Use the Reaper crest for easy pogo jumps. The mandatory jumps in Shellwood are more difficult than that.I still have no idea how to get the flea near there, at the to of the inside of the tower on the left. I was hoping that was it but it wasn't.
>>538246007you need double jump and start at the right tower then circle around from the outside
wtf it's so huge???
first sinner is a crazy good fight especially phase two
>>538245591thank you, I got curedI was about to fight the final boss while cursed until I read ur post
>beat Widow>Lace was harder than thati guess everyone is just upset about the two health bars
>>538245225see >>538244348
>>538246670was there a cheevo?
Fourth Chorus would be a midgame boss in Hollow Knight
>>538246773It was a unique ending, achievement, and menu theme
>>538214061go get silk storm from greymoor and suddenly that fight is a pushover
>>538247157Because it's too easy, right? Meanwhile most of Silksongs other bosses with achievements are closer to late and post-game Hollow Knight bosses, right?Jump, slap face, dodge the slow hands and rocks, repeat.
>roach grab attack pulls you in from half a mile away>if you're casting silkstorm while the roach jumps it will still catch you>occasionally it will straight up break the gamethank you dark souls
Holy FUCK why was that so difficult? If I didn't spam all my tools at the final pair of enemies I would have lost for sure.Also its pretty lame how this awesome area ended with an arena fight instead of a boss (which gave ZERO rewards by the way, I'm noticing an obnoxious trend with how this game doesn't seem to reward you anything but basic progression after beating a boss).
>>538249907I want a roach raping Hornet picture
>>538244593I thought all these rooms with a donut connected with some quest, and cartographer bug sell donut pins, which are boss battles. Maybe its just practice rooms?
>>538243268The economy was awful with less money, some hitboxes were fucked and some bosses had goofy ass behaviors that would get stuck in attack loops (Nosk was one I remember). Thats to say nothing about qol features like the dreamgate. I'm probably forgetting stuff too.
>>538249907How do you turn on health bars?
>>538242167even with that bench the runback is ass lmao
>>538242167>>538250801where's the bench?
I can't fucking believe this.Whywhy the fuck, man(spoilers, really, it's not main plot but it is a bummer)
>>538219973Just dash in the air over his attack and hit him in the back, as he stuck in the animation.
uhh, what the fuck is that scary ass noise behind the gate in pilgrim's rest? can i do something about it?
>>538215267You can turn her voice off in the options menu
Sherma is so cute
>>538250657
found a simple key in sinners road, should I use it on wormways or on the caged knight nearby?i suspect the knight unlocks the broken bench?
>>538251103broken side wall then drop down
any idea of roughly how many of those crest memory stones there are?haven't been using them since i fear that i might waste them and not have enough to some crest i really likealso, can you get all of the endings on a single run?
>>538251657Broken bench can be fixed by going to the upper left of the bench room and breaking the wall, you get a little parkour path to fix the cog.
Do you get anything good if you do all the courier deliveries? They sound tedious as hell
how do they expect you to focus on the silk fight when they made her so fucking erotic
>>538252319pale oil for nail upgrade
mfw hornet is not virgin
I am going insane wandering these tunnels, WHERE IS THE THIRD PLASMIUM BUD?
>>538252752i did the one for the pale oil already, but there's still others
>>538253070Canon hornet sex.
>>538253070fucking uninstalling
Was something supposed to be here?
>>538254387For the love of...there was, and I SWEAR I'd jumped there before and found nothing. Jeez.
>found the fleas before defeating moorwingWait, am I just fucked now? Will I never be able to complete the hunter journal?
>>538254550You can fight him when they move again I believe.
>>538254482That’s 90% of the game, entire areas hidden away somewhere you already checked
What a fun boss, 100% my favorite so far. Reminds of Mantis Lords which was my favorite fight in Hollow Knight.
Another thing I don't like. If you die in HK, your shade will be at the entrance to dangerous area AND will try to float to you AND you have the Rancid egg guy to save your ass. But now cocoon is always deep in boss room, so there is no way to run away without losing money.
>>538255525At least your cocoon doesn't try to kill you and you just need one hit.
my brain is seriously not clicking like it does with hollow knight I think it's the lack of the downward jumping attack of old. the ants are fucking obliterating me. I know i'm doing really bad but I just haven't gotten used to the far more fluid and relentless the enemies are now.
>>538255809It took me a while for it to click that I need to constantly be dashing in and out, and using that sprint attack. There isn't that forced downtime between dashes like in HK. But also how well it clicks will vary wildly between Crests. Wait and see if Reaper crest is any better. And the ants are just complete cunts anyway.
>That delivery quest that goes through sinner's roadI hope to god thats not needed for 100% because fuck that, thats way worse than the delivery for the nail oil.
>>538239513This was the first fun fight with good music i found. Really easy to pogo here though.
>>538255809The entire cocoon system just feels odd when combined with the high cost of items, I feel like it discourages exploration I'm not sure if I am making a mistake by not grinding some money to buy stuff instead of just coming back when I might need the item. If I explore too far without finding a bench it just feels tedious to make my way back to get it instead of running in another direction. I'm kinda worried for normies especially who will just be gated out of items that they need much more than the decent player who will actually have money
>>538255074That's like the only good one in act 2
>>538255525You can use the silk whatever item to recover your cocoon and you get a simp who crafts them for you.
Is there another zone between wormways and blasted steps?
>>538239513Just beat Lace 2 and I think she's the best boss fight in the game so far.
>>538257204several more and worsewormways is actually like nothing
>>538257205100% agree
Can it be opened?
>>538257297I meant as something between those two on the map. I feel like there might be an area there i haven't been to.
>>538257042Trobbio rules. I am surprised the Citadel zones didnt have more boss fights though.
>>538257410I totally misread sorrythere is no zone between wormways and blasted steps
>>538251129You dont even get a good reward from the miniboss, its just horseshit all around.
>>538257478Trobbio is fine I guessBut how about an arena fight with 10 consecutive waves lmaoAct 2 maps are far more better designed than Act 1 but the arena fights are really lame
>>538257397This is just the beta, the doors will open for the full release
>>538251264If you've unlocked wall climb, equip your perferred pogoing crest and go hit the walls in the area's bell station.
>>538257665>But how about an arena fight with 10 consecutive waves lmaoYeah this is so far the craziest mandatory thing in the game and it doesn't feel well placed at all. That place was CRAVING a cool boss fight instead of that fucking nightmare. I dont know what they were thinking and if anything in the game gets nerfed its going to be that arena fight.Its so funny because getting the other two songs were a cakewalk. But High Halls just decides to be the biggest fuck you in Act 2.
I'm only in the rainy city so far but holy fuck, this is like playing on Overcharmed Godhome without Shade Cloak man. Every enemy just floats off screen away from you and manages to hit you twice in every opening because Hornet just has zero iframes on fucking anything, including recovery from hit so any time there's a second enemy on screen or an enemy that has fast movement you're getting blendered up as soon as you get touched. I assume there's more stuff you get later to help but by the time HK enemies got this aggressive on you, you at least had movement options. Here it's "dash away".
I'm 29, playing this game makes me want to take my pistol and shoot myself in my mouth. Is this what kids enjoy these days? Fucking faggots.
>>538258252>being this miserable when you're about to hit 30You're not gonna make it
>>538258296>watch me jump around in the bug world and dodge these monster, woah I'm so quick and le good. Oh you die 3 hits and have to walk back 3 maps btw.
>>538258468>can't handle runbacks Sounds like you're the one with zoomer ADHD buddy
>>538258252Are you larping, if you are ~30 you should be very well aware of bullshit platformers and action games. SS is nowhere near being actually mean or over the top hard. DMC3 is harder and unfair than this.
This is what happens what devs have too much money and don't need to worry about player receptionEven difficult fights can be dealt with tool spamming but the mandatory platforming parts are just obnoxious
>>538258252I'm 28. Have you considered you just suck ass and have the patience of a toddler? And metroidvanias are peak late 20s/30s games anyway.You're also probably not exploring enough and finding run back benches/shortcuts. Run backs aren't even 30s long most of the time.
>>538258468Bro you are spending your weekend SEETHING at video games, you're 29 and acting like this? Its over for you.
>Airborne enemy charges at you in Hollow Knight>Jump up and hit it with your Nail>You are rewarded for your risk by sending it bouncing away from you allowing you to chase after and kill it>Airborne enemy charges at you in Silksong>Jump up and hit it with your Nail>You are rewarded by having it armor through your attack and hit you anyway, probably for 2 Masks of damageWhat's the logic here?
>>538258252I am 30 and I am enjoying this game immensely. Maybe stop drinking and your reaction times will be decent again.
>>538259248jump attacking by itself is not a meaningful skillyou're supposed to pay attention and punish openings
fari dula sima netdoni puana vori netfina somi mani setdana fon sulo bon
>>538259248The logic is to make every enemy a difficult choreThey take like 5+ hits and even with upgrade 3 they take 3+ hitsAlso you cannot actively take them down, you have to wait they come near because that's the design philosophy lmao
>>538259461Don't get me wrong I'm loving the combat so far, it's very fluid and fast paced. Just this one change is bizarre to me. It felt like such an intuitive part of Hollow Knight combat against flying enemies, vs. here where you're stuck waiting for them to get close the whole time or just burning through your Tools to deal with them.
>>538257838still can't find it, got a picture?
>>538259537Where is she after Pilgrim's Rest?
I still don't understand the loud *shing* you often get while parrying with the wanderer crest. Is it a perfect parry? Sometimes i swear the enemy is not even attacking.
>>538259918Wanderer’s can crit.
>>538259918That's a crit. The gauge fills when hitting enemies and reset on crit or being hit
What the fuck is this
>>538260257Babby
I like the witches crest the most but I can't play the game without the compass telling me where I am on the map
>>538260257hornet pregante
>didn't countARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
I can upgrade a crest? What does that do?
How the hell do i get in here?
how do you get up in the putrified ducts area? its seem like you need triple jump or bounce on an enemy?
How are you supposed to figure out the locations for the items in the silk and soul quest?
>struggling in high halls mob waves fight>look up needle upgrades>2 available and never did one>beat it first try after upgradesokay...
oops, meant this
>>538258468>watch me jump around in a game full of monsters>dies when getting hit>walks back to try againare you unfamiliar with video games in a forum dedicated to video games
>>538260257bring baby to the druid in greymore
>>538155618not my dumb ass being stuck at the marrow for an hour because I saw the mossy place and refused to go in it until I finished the marrow only to finally look up where the fuck I'm supposed to go and realize I need a thingy from the mossy place.
Damn, that was a really fucking good game.Is anyone here mentally ill enough to already be attempting a Steel Soul run? It seems nightmarish for Silksong in comparison to Hollow Knight.
>>538261073ok i finally managed to maneuver the fly into letting me spear up, that cant be the intended way tho
Baby Hornet
anons do you remember where hardbone hoppers spawn? Trying to fill hunters jornal but i forgot where those little niggs.
>>538261164It was in shellwood. Also that was kinda hot.
Somehow the second one felt less bullshit despite more difficult arena. Probably because adds are non-rng.
>>538260665Jesus Christ, fuck the Judge SO hard. Took me almost 2 hours in total to nail this cunt, and she nearly got me with suicide too, had to frantically jump all the way to the corner of the room just to me outside of her explosion area.
Savage Beastfly is filtering me harder than any other boss so far. Ridiculous hit box 'cause fat, capable of spamming adds back-to-back, those adds are random and can be an easy little thing or Edbug Scissorhands. I've only given it a few attempts so far but this fight design does not sparkle with me.
>>538262753My "favorite" move this thing does is flying on that weird "halfway" height — i.e. too high to jump over comfortably, too low to stay on the ground.
whats the best crest boys
>>538262014Don't ruin her
>>538262930Reaper works the best for me so far. At least among the crests that unlocks in act 1.
>>538260257A Dune reference
I may as well go back to playing Ninja Gaiden 2 Black. At least it's honest about being bullshit.
Is the bell hermit not in the bell pit beneath bellhart? I've scoured the place and haven't found the guy.
>>538262930reaper is good until it isn'thunter is always goodother ones I've tried are meme shit
>>538263194Give it another change, dude
>>538263216>Is the bell hermit not in the bell pit beneath bellhart?go left then in bellhart subway
>>538213521What's the difference?
90% of journos and the people who bought the game on hype alone won't be able to complete it without using cheats. Game's unironically harder than any Souls game because you can't just put points on more HP or change the gear to outDPS the boss.
>>538214891Did you play the first on PC too?
>>538263446sir, your beast crest?
>>538263375>>538263216Nevermind, im retarded and he was right at the entrance.
>>538263620>have to defeat the flyGood luck to those people with that one.
Honestly up/down+RB is fucking dumbwhy couldn't they just use dpad or at least configurable like normal people
>>538193120Beast crest is great for fighting bosses and just going full aggro on them
>>538263713because "normal people" arent good enough for this game
>>538204434yes
>>538210391When's Widow 3?
>>538156092try and find him
>>538262930I havent invested in it yet but I feel like Architect might be slept on, if you're into tool spam it seems nutty. But I was boring and stuck with Hunter the whole way through.Kinda wish there was a NG+ feature where you could pick your starting crest or even have them all unlocked at the start, it would make replays really varied.
the sinner fight best sofar
>>538156451its the half life 2 of indie games
>>538263446>or change the gear to outDPS the boss.Bro what are you talking about, thats the entire appeal of the tool system. I do think the game will filter a lot of people but outside of a few peaks it honestly isnt that bad if you just stick to doing the mandatory stuff. All the crazy bullshit is in optional areas.
>>538264251In Silkhome DLC when we get attuned and radiant versions of all the bosses. That's where we'll fight Prime Widow with her pins removed.
>>538238508it's like blackface but for the body
>>538264595>in optional areas>he doesn't know
>>538264703i can't wait for super hyper mega ultra omni ultimate widow infinity xtreme
>>538192174Don't give up.
Can I get to this house in far fields with just the glide cloak or do I need another mobility upgrade? There's no air current and I can't seem to get there from the platforms or the wall.
>>538264894I've beaten the game and the hardest thing by far was the High Halls arena. Like I said, there are other high difficulty segments but nothing as batshit insane as some of the optional stuff in the game, if people get stuck they can just look at guides anyways.
>>538177870and that's a good thing
>>538265023You need another mobility upgrade. If you climb up the wall to the left you can see some stuff dangling, remember them.Come back with the magma resist tool and the wall cling tool if you dont want to rage.
>>538177870they die with a single silkspear
>go to discussions>see post that 1/5 reviews are negative (??)>investigate>see 93% very positive>language breakdown>latin america LOVES the game (95%+)>russia, turkey, and western countries love it (90%+)>japan, korea, traditional chinese dislike it (70%)>simplified chinese HATE it (40%)what the fuck is going on? why do yellow skins not like this game?
>>538265114That's like saying you beat the game because you got the normal ending in HKThe "optional" upgrades are in giga bullshit platforming area or challenges
>>538173451You should.
>>538265328The chinese translation is apparently really bad or something, its the entire reason they're reviewbombing it.>>538265337Most people who played Hollow Knight did not beat Radiance. Its going to be the same thing here. They will beat it and go "yay I beat Silksong :3".
>>538265328because you're racist
>>538265328I know the chinese TL is fucking horrific apparently. Idk about the others
>>538265458cute
The more I play through the game, the more I realize that rosary economy is fucked due to lore reasons rather than game design decision to nickel and dime player. I respect that choice, even if I don't really like it, only indie devs have freedom to do things like that these days.
>just found the reaper thing that gives a regular ass pogo.will this is instantly infinitely better. why is /v/ having a melty? just get this thing, i'm like 4 hours into the game.
>>538265694i love lore mixed with gameplay
>>538265694It gets slightly better in Act 2 as the drops are better, but act 1 definitely demands grinding
>>538265694Some of the bosses still should have dropped rosaries. Last Judge is a pilgrim killer, that fucker should be loaded.
>>538265875but its ok if they dont, anon
>>538265875It's always funny to see broke players enter the citadel and discover one-time-only benches
>>538266038i pity them sometimes
>>538265721>why is /v/ having a melty?it's /v/
>>538266026Its fine but it encourages grinding which is kinda lame. Act 2 money isnt a big deal but Act 1 could have used some extra cash around.
>>538188502Me too
Wow this game is a lot more fun with the one shot kill cheat and infinte rosaries
>>538265694>only indie devs have freedom to do things like that these days.More like only Team Cherry has enough goodwill to do this shit. I can't see any other metroidvania indie game getting away with making the main currency fucking spheres that will roll away from the player
>>538188658they meant it's forbidden

>>538259737here
>>538262929That's because it aims where you are at that moment. Pogo to phase through him.
