Which button should I press to quickly switch between menu tabs? I mean Inventory, Map, Crests, etc.
>>538266779The game is just full of Hornet porn materials, including bestiality

if you>use reaper>use wandereryou didn't beat the game
>>538265694The funniest part is how enemies in that specific area drop fuck all rosaries.
>>538267084I did beat the game, stay mad
>new expensive shop in act 2 opened>bugs are asking for donations>no currency to buy anything>all the local mobs are annoying to farmI though I'd be fine with what I prefarmed in act one but I guess not... Also where to find the 5 ingredients to get oil?
>>538267257Just use the elevator to the Choral something and just to the right there's 2 sections of 3 enemies dropping rosary
>>538266491>>538266571General etiquette is to wait until your previous thread is on page ten before making a new one. This board has deceptively slow thread turnover.
>>538267257You need to get the quest from resturant area in choral chambers1) mosshome druid lady (free)2) greymoor halfway home innmaster quest (arena fight)3) Rescue Phil from bellhart quest > Now Phil is in bellhart > activate delivery quest > RUN (no fast travel) to the restraurant fucker within time limit, each hit reduces time4) Hidden area in Sands of Karak gives crustnut (MEGA BULLSHIT platforming area)5) Sinner's road hidden boss (requires double jump)If you aren't aiming for act 3 I guess you can skip thisOne pale oil is easy to get, that one is for +3
Is there a way to cheese the two elite enemies at the top of Hunter's March? The big axe ant and flying ant with lance duo. Wondering if I should just wait for another needle upgrade before attempting it.
>>538267493Thanks>>538267867Damn guess I should leave it for later, can't do most of these right now.
>>538267951spam toolspollip pouch + sting shard/tacks whatever helps

What crests are best?I'm currently considering reaper vs hunter crest:Reaper crest VS Hunter crest:= equal slots + slightly more range+ silk passive-slower attack speed-arguably worse up attack (unilateral) +/- down attack: more dangerous to use in pve, easier parkour-dash attack feels worse
>>538267867Crustnut was easy compared to the meat delivery.
>>538267867All this for a damage up? This game is horseshit.
>>538267951Burst flying fuck asap with tools/silk skill and then the big guy gets easy, I was stuck for a while too. Rewards are shit btw.
>>538268235the reaper down attack is insane in pve, what are you talking about? it's so fucking wide that you can use it beside an enemy to climb up onto their head and go infinite on top of them. it's basically easy mode
>>538267084I was a hunterchad the wole way through, I'm boring as fuck but at least I have the 45° pogo down.
>>538268245meat delivery is not that bad if you take the sinner's road - exhaust organ route, still annoying though
Where do you get the map for the zone above Bilewater?
>>538267084cool, i went back to Hunter after evolving it and haven't looked back
>>538266990make this next OP pic, it's very funny
>>538268260Yeah, I figured. I just rushed the fly and mostly face tanked for a few seconds to kill him, then just spammed tools on the big guy.
>>538268248what kind of gamer wouldn't consider a damage up the ultimate prize? what would actually be worth it to you?
>>538260640Doesnt Eva let you have a free yellow?
Me on the left
why do i have to pay for every bench
>>538269173Jews made the benches.
I'm beginning my mountain climb.fuck the drillbugs
>>538269173You can't achieve true faith without letting go of your earthly possessions first.
>>538269173Religion is a scam, this game is atheistpilled.
I can't find Skull Tyrant.
I am SHOCKED this moron didnt meet a hideous end.
Where does the robot go after you give it the heart?
>>538269672
>get hunter's journal quest>think it's about filling journal entries>after a while check progress>still the samei am retarded, it's new entries, not full entries
was i supposed to let myself get caged or was this guy just a normal enemy?
>>538267018people actually like reaper? it feels so sluggish
>>538270035Reaper's dash attack is really good
I skipped Moorwing fight with a quest but now he is back and probably can't be cheesed in that area... I though I was done with the birds...
>>538270035I like how slow it is, maybe because I have bad reflexes. Made the game much more enjoyable for me.
>>538270016you can, it's a possible skip, there are more later on
>>538268865Its not the reward its just so much fetch questing bullshit for something thats basically a requirement. It would be worth it if the oil gives you like 5 times damage but i know its gonna hardly make a difference at all just like the first damage upgrade
>>538270215Also, are there any tips for phase 2? The shit he throws at me is annoying.
>>538269672>implying the faithful have reason to fear
Is there a 3rd rhino anywhere? I died to the first one and it despawned forever. now my journal is stuck at 1/2.
is there a faster way of navigating this menu other than spamming arrows? I had the same issue in the first game, albeit less clicking
So they make minute long run back to the boss with annoying enemies, shitty diagonal jumping and "welp guess i'm standing in place for the next 10 seconds" wind and then as a final fuck you add gotcha explosion to the boss that instakills you if you think it's just a pre-death cutscene. Can souls-like devs not be cringe for once?
>>538266976yeah sinner's road sure is something
>>538270597he got stuck in a platform during phase 2 lmao, thank god.
>>538266779Why did team cherry let us see so much bare hornet? Like full nudity at some points.
I just died of ice
the wormways needolin door is taunting me, i need to find the double jump or whatever asap
Lol the game is so hard that there are no game journo reviews yet
>run into boss fight>run to corner>die>respawn>come back to boss fight with full health and silk>leave cocoon in the corner for an emergency heal and full silk reload for a burst phase
>>538269672Faith is truly the strongest shield.
>>538270035You are supposed to spam silk skills with it.
>>538268407I also feel that reaper's down attack gives you more lift in the parkour sections for slightly worse forward movement, but with dash it doesn't feel too bad.
How much is left of the game after getting the 3 melodies?
>>538270035it has the easiest pogo
this little pilgrim needs her rest. but seriously, how the fuck is she making it past all of those obstacles?
>>538270215>start boss fight>run back to the air current and ride it up>moorwing can't reach you in the sectioned off area>run to the left corner by the entrance and jump down attack him through the floor where he can't do shit
What should I use the second simple key on, I already opened the door to wormways, should I open the one in deep docks?
>>538274292He spawns in a different place if you skip the first fight with a quest, it's ok he bugged out and I still killed him on the third try.
>>538274337i was wondering the same, if i should help the green guy or go for the deep docks doori'm assuming it's a long time before we get a third key, no idea what the green guy's questline gives
>>538274337I know that there's 4 (at least) doors and 2 known keys right now. I haven't gotten there but there is an npc that you can unlock to start a questline in sinners path.
>>538274287you laughed when she said it was the power of faith and singing that opened the gate, but who's laughing now?
Can i keep playing the same save if i finish the game before getting 100%?
>>538274149No, that's the wanderer
>>538275541>half rangeenjoy taking 2 damage from breathing too close to the enemies
>>538276289it's the same reach, just narrower
>>538276519lollmao
This right here is going to make players quit the game. Not only the stage but the boss? Goodluck finding the bench too.
>>538276637prove me wrong
>>538275505Yes.
>get to the end of a parkour challenge>Raging Conchflydespair
>Walking instead of running around the dogs in sinner's road won't wake them upNeat.
>BroodmotherYeah fuck you I'm coming back later.
>>538270035longer range, more silk AND by far the best, cheesiest down-air in the game makes it the easiest crest to use imoi went back to hunter eventually tho after getting its upgrade and have been preferring it, but all the crests are good, just wish Beast had more slots
>>538277064Did you not get the shortcut 2 screens before it? Its free.
Deliveries are fucking cancer holy shit. Do i actually need to do them to get Act 3?
There's 3 acts, right? And I assume the third is short. So if you want to do 95%+, Silksong is probably going to take 35+ hours?
>>538266976bell beast x hornet is the true ship
>>5382747342 keys from shops, 1 in sinners road, 1 in sands. I think thats all of them.
>>538271115on controller shoulder buttons will page up/down, it's probably whatever buttons do map/spell or dash on kb
Beastfly's summons being random is very silly, I hate getting the big ones that can parry you
the green fruit fell onto the fucking spikes. is it gone forever?
>>538274287unironically i think it's her music. notice how literally every enemy in the game (that i've tried it on) gets paralyzed and sings along with you if you pull out the Needolin during combat? She can move while playing her bell and singing and they probably stay entranced. The real question is how is she platforming with those little legs, and climbing walls
>>538276762with your attitude why should i try to help you? as long as it works for you i guess.
>>538277867this is what subweapons are for, especially the aerial ball trap or 3-way needles, find those first and this boss is way easieralso i heard caltrops are good for him to dash across the ground into but i didn't get those till way after I beat him
>>538277956i only care about the truth and you seem to be incapable of grasping it
>>538277867I probably took ~15 tries to kill that bastard all because of the big ones. They cockblock you from killing any other adds or moving to the other side of the room. Funny thing is, the boss is supposed to be able to kill them with the slam but I only saw that happen once or twice.
>>538277631HK took me about 50 hours to fully complete (DLC included except for godhome and steel soul which add on like 100-200 more hours lol) and SS feels like it's gonna be longer and is definitely more difficult, so far I'm ~20 hours in and still in act 1, I'm guessing i'll be ~60 hours for full completion before any dlc even comes out
How do you access Verdania?
>>538277934nevermind, I died and it respawned
>>538267018this is way too early especially to be final, everyone's voting reaper because you get it early and it's easymode, also I'm balls deep in and still haven't found the last two yet. I'd try this again in a week or two for a better picture, when more people have tried them all + have more skills to get more use out of ones like wanderer and beast
How do I get into the passages to the left and right of that wheel? Tried from different directions and still cant access.
I hate the bird room.
>>538278092>>538278140Got him. Sting Shard traps and letting him kill his own summons were both vital.
Remove contact damage and 2/3s of this garbage game's difficulty vanishes. FUCK MOORWING
Widow or sinners road? Slab is done for now since I need another key, need the upgrade to grab rings to get into the mountain where double jump is, and looks like most of the other doors are locked with metal grates. Need to do temple of the beast but the rest of hunters march is done, need to finish finding the rest of the poison polyps now that I have wall cling.
>>538279134Widow, the benefits are nice.
I guess I'm late
>>538279051>remove contact damage from an old school action platformer>>538279134Widow indirectly gives a ton of rewards, get her out of the way.
>>5382792912 mask contact damage from stunned enemies is insane.
>>538278797Sting shards will help rip up the small birds so you can focus on the big ones, and the knife throwing bird is pretty easy when you start to parry his knives instead of dodging since he leaves himself wide open after throwing. The fencing bird is still the most annoying but he can be parried easier than lace, and as always pogo is peak. I saved all of my tools for the last 2 waves with the multiple small birds and the last big bird to just melt them with the knives from a distance.
>>538279236Did you come back here after buying out his shop or is this the first time you're seeing him?>>538279437>walk into a stunned enemy>blame the game
my fuckin sides
>>538279680first time
>>538279551Parry is too high skill for me. Let me platform like a noob.
game is too fucking hard, in that it's possible to progress but the amount of effort and retries just isn't reasonable
>>538280228Definitely need to be more defensive minded and wait for an opportunity than in HK. Greeding is punished heavily.
>>538279838He sells a projectile tool and a defensive charm. Supposedly they aren't missable, they get moved somewhere else. One of them should be in the next room above him. Not sure if the other one is also there or somewhere else.
>>538270035My only complaint with the game so far (it's 10/10) is that I got the reaper crest, it auto-equipped, unequipping my compass and tool, with the closest bench a million miles away and my 300-rosary silk stuck below on that asshole boss. Beat it, but man that was annoying. Yes I know I could've just ran away to a bench, updated my crest, gone back to get my silk... but that felt risky and even more annoying.
>>538280360Opposite for me. HK it was better to spend time reading bosses, in SS the best defense is a good offense because you're gonna fuck up at some point any way and there goes 2-4 masks while the boss still has full health. Greed. Greed like your life depends on it in SS, because it does.
>>538280414Or at the very least send you to your menu as if you were on a bench and let you choose to equip the crest you just got.
Beast crest might be fun for combat but that meme pogo will make the game unplayable as soon as I get to a platforming section.
What is even the point of health upgrades in this game? I always feel like I am two hits away from death.
how do i get there in the slabalso, i fell in love with the witch crest, with faster healing badge equipped
>>538280414Odd how they didn't notice or at least fix that after several years. Have fun when it happens near pogo segments.
Trobbio is a retarded fight>three balls that you have to actively try and get hit by>explosives that you have to actively try and get hit by>geysers that you have to actively try and get hit by>1 (one) tornado dash that does 4 masks if hit by the initial dash>absolutely no indicator on when he starts the dash due to it also being his walk animationthis boss fucking sucks
>>538280721agreed, SS is bloodborne while HK is dark soulsaggression is key, healing is such an inefficient use of silk and skills hit like a fucking truck, combined that with poisoned tools and you'll be slaughtering everything
SNIFFFFF SNIFF SNIFF ISSSS THAT LOLIBABA I SMELL
>>538280962Go to the room in Deep Docks, just below the Hunter's March entrance on the far right. If there are ant enemies there instead of a fat guy, then I guess you're not far enough and have to go back later.
>>538280721It really is like that. One hit almost kills you and you're almost certainly going to take another hit on the recovery.
*exists in your path everywhere*why?
>>538278540You go in from the core
>>538281321Whoops, missed the image. I believe there's a false wall on the wall jump section on the far right that leads to that exit point.
why the FUCK do you take contact damage from stunned bosses?it would maybe make sense if it's some hedgehog looking motherfucker (and even then just 1 damage is enough) or per-boss things (like sister falling on your head) but the boss is just sitting on the floor doing nothing and you still take as much damage as when you're having your face blended by a buzzsaw that's bigger than hornet's whole body?it's weirdly annoying to me
I find it hilarious how the first game was just a huge ripoff of Dark Souls 1 with the lore.So I was wondering "what will they do for the sequel's lore if they're not copying someone else?"And they just made it 'religion bad'.Not a Christard or anything I've just always found it funny that as an indie dev you can write ANYTHING and 90% of them just do religion bad when religion these days is a dying concept.Also it's always a western religion. None of the 'religion bad' games mock Islam.
>>538276289reaper's delay after pressing is way more problematic than wanderer's range
Will there be a patch for old gpu? From what I know the game runs only on Linux or disabled gpu.
>>538281321oh wait, those cage guys? is this a bloodborne kidnapping type shit, do i have to die to the rapebug?
>>538281797Do you think there are any successful bug kingdoms?
>it is far more time efficient to farm beads outside of halfway home or the choir and buy shard bundles than it is to farm shards themselves
Does poison only proc once per enemy? Do triple poison darts cause triple poison?
>>538281915it's even funnier because most enemies only drop shards
>>538281909Yes, China.
>>538281852If you're the OP, >>538281471 is how you get to that spot on the map. If you're just wondering how to get to The Slab, yes.
Every new zone I enter I find new and more powerful airborne bullshitLike this is actually an accomplishment in enemy design, holy shit
>>538281820my gpu is literally 12 years old and it runs fine
how do you open the round door at the bottom of deep docks? I've explored everything I could find and am about to climb to the top of the citadel and I still haven't figured it out
>Reach Citadel through the back door>Go across to the Grand Gate>Go out the front gate>Suddenly way into the Citadel is shut by a door that you need to ring bells to enterDid they just not think you'd go through the Grand Gate backwards? The door should have been locked on the inside too. Bravo Team Cherry.
>>538278140>Funny thing is, the boss is supposed to be able to kill them with the slam but I only saw that happen once or twice.i beat it with 5 masks using that and silk spear to get rid of the adds. whenever it's slamming into the ground move right next to an add and it will die as long as it's close enough to the ground.
>>538282189harboon to the ring in front of the door, if that's the door you are asking about
What the fuck am I supposed to do in that Hunter's March sealed room that keeps spawning different ants? I have seen that map seller coming to help you there, but she's not spawning there for me at all to help. I can't fucking clear this place. Is my game bugged and forcing me to clear this without any help from her?
>>538282069I put on the charm to increase shard drops from enemies, in most cases it only increases it by 1 or 2. So when you've got tools that need 5 - 7 per tool to repair thats just a drop in the bucket for multiple boss or gauntlet attempts.
do you ever evolve the other crests that are not hunter? this is actually driving me insane every time i get some new power I go back to the atlas and the eva thing doesn't evolve any other one, I got once an extra exploration slot for all crests but that's about it.Also, on controller what does the R3 do? it kinda looks like a taunt or something but it isn't listed on the controller remap settings as anything.
>>538282156I legit think this might be the worst most annoying enemy in the game. No one will ever put them at the top of a list or anything thought because there's like 10 of them in the game and they're confined to a tiny zone.
>>538281820How old are we talking about? I'm running fine on my i3 5500u igpu
In Hunters Mark, it was nice to get some help was mapboy.... but I literally died the moment I cleared the room. When I went back, he was gone. Did I just get completely fucked out of lore or gear due to a 0.0001% rare event death?
>>538282330eva only reacts to the silk hearts, and from what I've read, no, only the default crest has an upgrade
>>538282290no, I'm talking about the one that's oval with a white rock in the center
>>538282294it's only a few waves just kill them lmao
>>538282173I'm guessing they're the anon from the previous thread with the AMD HD 6700 that was having a D3D11 issue. They really should just switch that system to Linux or put in another drive to dual boot. The open source mesa drivers still maintain support for those ancient GPUs and OpenGL is actually good on Linux for those cards.I am surprised if the Windows build wasn't built with OpenGL support enabled though. -force-opengl should work, I think even -force-vulkan.
>>538282630kill yourself
>>538282221t. anon who has never locked himself out before
>>538282330i think the taunt is supposed to be challenge. i've only ever used it once in front of the statue in hunter's march and an npc revealed herself.
I finished the first game with 84% and now I'm gong up the white castle. I want to kill enemies not dodge millions of circular chainsaws. Should I start Silksong now or keep on HK 1?
>>538282281Oh, I had no issue with the other adds and I used the slam to kill them, but it just phased through the big ones. I was surprised the first time it actually killed one.
>>538282294it's a preview of how hard the boss's gonna beit's an optional area with very minimal rewards, just skip it for now
>>538279680Thry can fall on you from the stun state, its mental.
what the fuck is a memorium
>>538282741the map lady didn't help me either, it's probably some specific progression flag. i still beat them first try without her, there's way harder fights in the earlygame. use tools.
>>538282906I swear moorwing's hitbox isn't that tight to his body either, especially near his lower sides.
>>538282848>finished game>didn't even face the final boss
AIIIEEEEEEE!!! JUDGE-SAMA, I APOLOGIZE!!!! GET AWAY FROM MEEEEEEEEEE
>>538282173>>538282432About 20. AMD (Atrocious Malfunctioning Downgrade) problem I think.
>>538280721The amount of times where I saved my boss runs by getting greedy...I've lost count. Feels so good going from 1 to 4 health and feeling the momentum of the fight. Definitely feels Bloodborney.
>>538283103Credit rolled and I became the Hollow Knight™
>>538283038She helped me when I first went there which was when I was first exploring that early in the very early game. I went back after Fourth Chorus and she no longer appeared to assist.
>>538283243cool but you haven't even seen the final boss
>>538281797Fundamentalist religion is bad so thats a win for them. Japan has been doing that shit for decades.
I don't think even chainsaws in path of pain took two masks of damage... Why are fucking gears more dangerous?
>Hornet says EGALE while doing the silk storm on the trailer>still no EGALE or SHAW in gameI'm genuinely tweaking, I know it's such a small thing, but it's so fundamental to the character that I can't believe it's not int he game
>>538283570Her theme playing as she killed the pervert flies made it up for me.
>>538282294>>538283038>>538283270That thing is a GIRL?
>>538282294Wait until your first needle upgrade. That area is both 1) hell without movement QoL access like Reaper crest and dash 2) you won't be able to fully explore it yet, although it might be possible with some extreme enemy pogoing. and there's two much harder fights after that
>>538281429To condition you to hit them without thinking so they can have a boss payoff that starts with it.
>equip shakra's rings>taunt changesneathttps://files.catbox.moe/is3f6g.mp4
I hope whoever designed this part gets fired.
>tyrant broke my bench and killed my brothe absolute faggotry
>>538284231This part is easy though
>>538284289it was on the trailer, you shoulda known
>>538284231Haha. It gets worse but at least it's mostly confined to secret optional areas unlike Shellwood.
>Widow>Last Judge>Phantom>Clockwork Dancers>Trobbio>LaceSilksong bosses MOG Hollow Knight bosses in terms of quality and it isnt even close.
>>538284231>most basic pogobetter quit now
im tired.wheres the double jump.
>>538284669Left of the Slab
I dislike the granularity of the map a lotit's already bad that it doesn't update mid-exploring, but just having a plain rectangle in a maze area is fucking stupid and annoying
>>538284669left to the slab stationspend all your rosaries before going there, it's path of pain with time attack (freezing damage)
>nao-ohh
>>538284913>>538284697>you need the grapple hookand where. do you find that.i swear to fucking god i have almost this entire map discovered and explored but i find almost exclusively rosary beads and fucking shard bundles rather than actual progression.
>>538285145>but i find almost exclusively rosary beads and fucking shard bundlesdon't forget half of a silk meter bar
>>538281797>90% of them just do religion badIt's to appeal to reddit troons.
loving how much attention this game demands from you at all times even versing normal mobs
Reading in bed at night is bad for your eyes
>>538281446I finally found it. That path feels really missable, especially with that platforming.
>flea peeks on you in the spa>you can hit him>he has a mark on his face and swears he was only doing maintenance workjust like my chinese cartoons
>>538285145I found a consumable that can teleport my cocoon to me after I die. Waow!
hornet sexo
so cyute
>>538285145Cauldron
>>538281797>mock islam>proceed to get beheaded and/or bombedthink for a moment retardo
any rewards for doing these deliveries? or just money?
>>538286521I just got it and it just grabs to nothing and propels you forward? pretty scuffed
>>538283127damn i'm on that boss too and have no idea what that skull is on your last mask or the boomerang red toolonly thing i havent done yet that i know of besides the citadel is going further into the mists which is way too far from any bench or fast travel i could find yet
What the fuck?
>>538286521...
>>538286653It works as an additional air dash + holding to a ringthe latter part is important, it also opens some doors
>>538284543honestly trueHK has great ones but a lot of the best ones are hidden in godhome, silksong has loads of amazing ones just front and center and non-optional
>>538286660Those are from the ant vendor hidden in Hunter's march
This game is AssThis game is Ass and i am tired of people to pretend its not. Jusr because we waited for 7 years doesn't mean its good.This game is unnecessary frustrating on purpose and u can see this in every section of the game.Therw is unfair placement of enemies that are way to strong and after about 20 hours of playing i still have 5 masks (6 masks wouldn't be a upgrade anyway because everyone does 2 damage) and my dmg ks still without upgrade. The enemies now are atleast doubble as strong than at the beginning, and the beginning enemies were way to steong. I throw away my controller atleast 3 times out of anger. I have never done this before and i am the "play dark souls on level 1" type of player.I freaking hate this game so much and i think i quit playing it and go back go the base game.
>>538287012S I
I feel validated by this thread pissing and moaning about the same bosses I had a hard time with, lol
>Last Judge killed me probably 200 times before I beat herI'm never going to finish this game, am I?
any good doujins with hornet?
Where the fuck is the key for this?
>>538287371How do people have trouble with the judge, boss barely moves, you just walk back and forth and dash sometimes.
>>538286827TRVKEThe only non-Godhome HK boss I enjoyed battling was Mantis Lords, and even they could be skipped because the Mantis Claw was separate from the boss.
>>538284637>>538284324>>538284451My main goddamn problem is that for some fucking reason sometimes even when I hit the next flower it will not propel me high enough to hit the next one. I may be retarded, but this is by default a shit design. I like the game though, just this one aspect is really fucking ass.
>felt motivated to learn Lace and Fourth Chorus even after so many deaths>don't feel it at all with MoorwingI think I just straight up dislike Greymoor.
>>538287371suffering is key to eventual victory
>>538287012>controllerI see your problem. Get used to keyboard and faceroll the game with closed eyes.
>>538287732it's either panic or they try to press buttons too much and overthink it.
should i play this without playing hollow knight?
>>538286631working theory is that you need to complete a percentage of quests from the wishboards and a couple of specific quests/items to unlock act 3.
>>538282837>>538282330It's literally called challenge in the keybinds. Draws aggro from further away. Good for luring out flying enemies that camp parkour spots.GARAMA
>>538288306you can, they're pretty different games and they don't connect storywise, so go for it
>>538286660>skull is on your last mask protects from crits, blue charm>or the boomerang red toolboomerang tool that will passthrough enemies and hit multiple timesboth gotten from the ant vendor in hunter's march
>>538284543Only fought three of the six, but Widow was a lot of fun. None of the other bosses so far have mixed their attacks together and while her second phase can feel like it's bullshit hard, it becomes doable once you learn to deflect the bells. I hope they add an extra mode or some cheat codes so I could fight her again.I just hope that some of the bosses have interesting arenas at some point. They're just plane with no platforms or hazards.>>538287732I was rushing around too much. It became a lot easier once I started taking it slow and deactivated the double damage tool, but I was still fucking up with bad directional inputs and and taking contact damage from pogo-ing attempts.
>>538287160lmao
Honestly Hornet's character is so dull as fuck with zero redeeming quality, I knew that from HK but still disappointingI miss the knight
>Silksong is giving me troubleLet's see what games I have in my backlog to take it easy>Rondo of Blood>Sekiro>Ninja Gaiden II>Cuphead>Nioh>Wo LongShit.
>>538288363huh? you can decompile unity games easily, if there was anything worthwhile truly hidden everyone would already know about it
>>538288693Not to defend La Arana Puta but the Knight has literally no character. Like not at all. Hornet at least has one.
>>538279236who? Where?
>>538288306hollow knight is better.
got tired of running out
>>538288936Hornet is like Saber without complex and klutzIt's worse than no character
what do I do with the weird bug stuck on the ceiling in putrefied ducts? it doesn't respond no matter what I try. same area as the broodmother bug thing you do the organs quest for.

How do you get to this part of Far Fields? Neither of the entrances on the left seem accessible. I missed this entire section in my playthrough.
>>538288693SHAW!
Calling it here, no intention to go for 100%. I guess a handful of things are left unfinished, I'm still missing an entire fucking crest somehow? Also several mask fragments and other stuff. Got all the fleas tho. What a ride. Apart from a few specific parts and bosses the game isn't as hard as some people cry. Even then I found these parts to be moreso annoying/tedious than hard, imo not to any benefit to the game. I think it was just unneccesary.9/10
>>538288043Fourth Chorus killed me once or twice. Moorwing killed me about a dozen times. One time I got really pissed because my tenth death is introduced a new attack (mid-air dash) that he never used on me before. Piece of shit. Somehow, in about 75% of my boss battles, I get frustrated at how tanky they are, then use my silkspear and it gets the KO. Feels like god mode
I have been banging my head against this for like 4 hours, how the fuck do I get into this place?
So tell me...I did drop hollow knight 1 because the game never really clicked with me, rewards and exploration felt really boring while the atmosphere seemed too repetitiveis silksong any better?
>>538291727Silksong is hollow knight with more difficult bosses and a cuter protagonist who has more skills
>staggered bosses still deal copntact damagebravo team cherry! bravo!
I was curious so I got a program to see the raw files and there is NO SHAW NOR EGALE voiceline, but there is ADINO and SAA which doesn't hit the samea lot of moaning though, like a lot

How do I get to "greyed out" bottom part of Underworks?
was fighting the big beetle behind the door in the far fields town and accidentally opened the gate and he just walked right out, now I can't find him anywhere, anyone got any ideas where the fuck he is? I hope I haven't locked myself out of a bestiary entryspeaking of missing a bestiary entry, anyone know where I can find another warden fly? the one in far fields captured me and sent me to jail and I haven't been able to find another one since, already made it to act 2 too

anyone found a use for spider strings harp?
Download link please?
>>538291909It's called a shockwave, scrub. Git gud.
>>538292879you did lock yourself out until they fix it. there are only 2 beetles and they don't respawn. since you need to kill 2 for the full entry you can't get it.

Are you locked out of anything by going into act 3?
Cogfly is fucking broken, everyone save one craftmetal before entering high halls
>>538293674just jumps and needle tosses
I wanna farm all the shit before going to citadel, so what's the best rosarie spot?
>>538293881cant find any craftmetals..
>>538294115there's one in the steppe
>>538294043whiteward bench. use reaper crest with run charm + thief charm and silkspear then run left kill first two with with pogo and last 3 with spear/uppercut and run back.
>>538294537he said before going to citadel
So what do you guys think hollow knight 3 will be about?
>>538294657im tired haha anyway halfway home go right kill easy enemies and run back
>>538294758Bug city builder where you play as some kind of god bug.
>>538294758haven't even reached the Citadel but I can tell Lace was a pretty important boss, she's this game's Hornet therefore if there is gonna be a next game it's gonna be Lace protag
This shit is worse than the fucking path of pain. I am screaming.
>>538295259it's not that bad, but fair warning, please get yourself spoiled with this post so you won't make the same mistake >>538292879 >>538293403
>>538295259this is a regular occurrence in act 2
>>538293403well that fucking suckswhat's the name of that enemy so I can make a bug(heh) report or something

>>538295936And a rosary bead station to the right of the second group.
>>538292879>>538295450Actually I also opened the door and let the beetle go and I came back at some later point and the beetle was rampaging in the house where you have to pay to enter
>>538296247LMAO. serves that greedy bastard right
this is the shittiest boss ever. >some floor bits occasionally disappear, revealing magma>boss summons 2 flying minions that shoot land mines at you>all of these deal 2 damage
am i stupid? the chestnut is in blasted sands right?
>>538296247did you break the gear on the door before it happened?
>>538296897yeah but it's a much bigger room than the first beastfly fight, can't you just pogo on his head forever?
>Oh new citadel area, time to go grind some beads to buy the map and benches LOLriveting
>>538288693For me it's less about character and more about personalityDespite being silent the Knight is full of personality, from the cute way he sits to the little stance he does before bossfights. The knight is iconic and has a strong presence. I don't want to sound Reddit but the fact that he's a weird mute baby casually slaying gods also becomes his personality in a wayHornet on the other hand feels like a brick wall
how the hell do you get the oil for the second nail upgrade?
I've got two-mask-damage fatigue
>>538295936this should be optimzied enough. dunno why OBS won't record silksong so here's a pic for farming setup right from halfway home. silkspear the trio and hit the big guy once. go right and kill the bell berd. spear the duo. rinse and repeat. no silk? just hit stuff. sometimes I'm faster than rosaries which can't go through the door in which case I wait a few secs. made 1k so far. going for 2k.
>>538297959>full of personality:>he's cute>he does a pose when challenging bossesriveting, even though Hornet is mostly stoic she still has a lot more personality than the Ghost, you're just projecting your own headcanon into a blank slate, which I think is fine, but you're literally comparing your own OC to an actual character
Are there just no places to grind for rosary at all? I just arrived at Bellhart and I need like fucking 300 for a bunch of stupid bullshit that SHOULD be free.
>>538298678i grind mine here
>>538297258yes
>parkour through spike corridor to find a small hidden room with shard deposits>break them open>90% of shards drop down into the spikes
How do I open this door? I've tried circling around but can't find an opening.
>>538298678>>538298528
>>538299045the bilewater one? everything there is designed for suffering. they knew
>>538299157All of them work that way
>>538298441wait until enemies start to cause 3
>>538295259 (Me)Wow, a beast shard. Amazing
if the world is against me, i know one bug always has my back
did they make the "summons" actually useful this time? the cogwork fly seems to last forever and doesn't cost silk. seems pretty cool.
Just arrived at Shellwood. I'm not close to finishing, am I? It looks like I'm about to arrive at the Citidal, according to the map anyway. I really like this game, I don't want it to end :(
>>538298678I grind it in Greymoor, you rest at the inn, run to the right into the cave, kill the three pilgrims and run back, it's like 40 rosaries a cycle and pretty quick
>>538298678The group to the right of the halfway home works well. When you're low on silk, try the boomerang on them if you have it.
>>538298441
The mountain climb wasn't nearly as bad as some anons were making it sound. Also being immune to the cold is neat if useless at this point.
>>538300062ha ha ha ha ha
>>538299134feels good to be a king
>>538300062depending on your route, you're either 10% done or 20% done, maybe 30% but I doubt it
>>538291727if you didn't like hollow knight you'll fucking hate silksong. silksong is worse. you'll spend hours in the first few zones that are: brown, gray, red, brown, gray, gray, orange, red, gray, red, brown, and gray. the levels are hostile, the atmosphere is oppressive. the rewards for accomplishing anything difficult (fights are monotonous and long) are scarce and exploration frequently devolves to attacking every wall in sight in hopes it'll crack and reveal and opening. occasionally you get to walk into walls because sometimes they'll be false.
>>538300304aprox 600 per 10min it seems. Splendid.>>538298441>>538300151glad to see I'm not the only one who felt zero difference with +1 mask.
>>538300304just spent 1500 on shard bundles. hate how you have to buy these one by one. the pain of architect crest
>>538300314I'd say it depends, because I dropped Hollow Knight and never liked the movement, and even though a lot of things are frustrating in Silksong I still like it a lot
>>538301027sure :) but they said they weren't fond of the rewards, exploration, and atmosphere and that's what my reply focused on. the rewards are worse, the exploration is worse, and the atmosphere is worse. if you didn't like hollow knight because of those then you're likely to enjoy silksong even less because all of those traits were better in hollow knight.
>haha I can't believe it's almost already over. Yep, just gonna ensnare the final boss real quick and be done with it>...>ACT 3 - ABYSSoh my goooood
>>538299130Anyone? This is driving me crazy
>The feyHow?
is the snitch pick bugged? it says harpooning is supposed to drop rosaries but it drops jack shit before or after killing an enemy with harpoon. in fact, it seems to lower the amount of rosaries an enemy drops the more you hit it with harpoon so it can actually drop 0 rosaries.
>I have to go to blight town nowNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>538301439if you cant open it then you cant open it, go somewhere else
>>538298597Obviously that's not all of it, all of the little things add up to make him quite expressive in the endGeneric stoic woman is boring not to mention that Hornet is in this weird limbo where she has just enough characterization to be considered her own character but not enough to where it actually adds anything to the narrative. It's painfulAnd nothing I brought up wasn't in the actual game, he's not even a true blank slate though the silence does make him more personal I guess
Anyone know what the missing things between the Craws and the sinner's road bugs could be? It's like four so it implies an entire little sub area's worth of guys.
>can turn off the spider bots neat
not in game rn so I can't test it, but do you have to charge the long pin's throws? i tapped the button and hornet did the most anemic spear throw i have ever seen. there's no way that's its only trajectory. it barely went five feet in front of her
>>538302398i think thats it. like soma's classic spear throw from his first soul skill.
>have found the entrances to the wormway and the blasted lands before finding the 6th poison polyp
>>538302804does it at least do a fuckload of damage?
>>538302864its a pretty good one but i think one of the polyps is behind bellhart progression.
>>538302864did you check the bottom left side of the room that you run through to get to the widow fight? that was the last one i found
>>538303120not sure, its stronger than the nail for sure but how much, i dont really know. its more of an early crowd control option

I haven’t finished the game yet but I’m taking a break because I’m really frustrated. Why do ennemies take so many hits to die? Why are there so little mask shards to improve Hornet’s health?
>>538302387Shellwoodbugs?
NIGGERNIGGERNIGGER
are the delivery quests infinite or is there an end?
>>538303153>>538303283found it in the middle of the big room I had already cleared twice, had to float down from above rather than climb to it so i missed it.
>>538303627I saved my tools for the double miniboss and then blasted them all from a safe distance until one of them was dead. Piercing tools are pretty good.
How am I supposed to navigate through this clusterfuck?
>>538290390Unlocks from Hunters March when you get jump upgrade.
>>538305502Same thing happened to me while climbing the mountain and i just used the rage as fuel to keep climbing.
is this worth it
>>538306038heals slower but more
>>538306038I didn't use it until i got the trinket that speeds up binding. Then its pretty good.
>>538306038You heal slower but restore 4 masks. It's okay, but I'd rather have Fractured Mask or Warding Bell.
softlocked the bastardif you kept a consistent height instead of having the regular retarded AI of going out of reach attacking off-screen you wouldn't have this fate
>>538305738Try playing some music by the white bugs
>>538306038Pretty trash, forces you to bind heal twice in a row for 2-2 rather than just once for 3
>>538306738That's pretty cool.
>>538293453Poison is so good. Very nice passive damage and helps alot with flying chuds especially when you have fly.
>>538307563That's a lot of health you got there.
>>538306038I like it for exploring, I get more bang for my buck, and most bosses give you enough of a window to heal with it too
>>538307704Holy shit 4 blue slots with 2 red, I gotta find that crest.
I take back everything I said about you. Please come back. I miss you.
>That entire escape sequence from the abyssHoly fucking kino.
>>538307762It doesn't last as long as I'd like.Also playing music in "notable" rooms can show some scenes. Looks like I got Lace here.
I fucking love the sound the pilgrim grovelers make, it's so stupid
Managed to get ending 3.Beating the final boss with no healing, skills, tools or accessories was annoying, but I think I got it in 7-8 tries.
Wait I'm watching a playthrough... You can fight Lace in Deep Docks??? I met Lace west of Shellwood above the huge shaft over the first town, she just told me to follow her into the Citadel. Her arena in Deep Docks was empty for me, I was wondering why such an obvious boss arena had nothing in it.Does anything important change based on where you see/fight her?
>>538309085Just the marriage scene.
Damn, I'm stuck at arena thingie in Hunter's March where you fight multiple waves of martial artist ants. Looks like I'll need to come back when my character is stronger.
What's the purpose of the Rosary strings at the store? Is it just so you won't lose beads on death? I don't lose any money from buying them, right?
Someone from last thread left a pic with a craftsmetal in the blasted lands, here's one I found in the deep docks behind the key door. Run through the area along the top path dodging the large bell helmet fucks for 3 rooms. Last room before you go back into far fields on the bottom left corner of the room will be a caved in area with wood supports you can break. A shield guy and a flying guy with the big bombs will be in here. Break the wood and go into the room with the chest, a regular flying bell head guy and another flying bell head guy with the big bombs will spawn. Hit the bombs back towards them for big damage, but beware that he'll drop a bomb on himself at death (that got me twice trying to get the metal lol).
>>538309517Did you meet the map lady? She should show up to help you there.
>>538308401We didn't know how good we had it
>>538309623Any you buy are usually discount 20 rosaries. It's basically for people who suck too much and are afraid to losing all their money on dying too much.
>>538309623Yes it's just storage for safety on deathIt's a net loss. You pay 80 for a bundle of 60 or 140 for a bundle of 120 in bellhart after you save it
>>538309623it's so you won't lose them, yes. it costs 20 to make them whether you use the machines or the merchants, but that 20 becomes a smaller percentage of the total if you spring for bigger strings
>>538296247thanks for that anonhopefully that's still the 1st one and I can get the 2nd one later to finish my bestiarystill looking for more warden fly
Witch crest is so freaking weird. It feels really underpowered by comparison to some others, for how late in the game it is.The hell even is that healing move.
>>538309665that's great, i have no key left. i used it
>>538310187you don't need the key to get that craftmetal, you get get in that room from far fields
>>538310187That's just if you want it early, the much faster way is from the very bottom left of far fields, you don't need to dodge the annoying minibosses that will follow you during the platform section and can go and unlock all of the doors from that side. The flintslate tool is in here as well so its worth the trip.
Anyone who beat the game know if there's more than 4 simple locks?
>>538310865only 4.
>>538310865Nope, I think that's it.
these go unnaturally hard
Act 3 difficulty feels like I am back to act 2 with minus upgrades
>>538310146Better moveset then wanderer and more reach. No pogo delay like on reaper. Also 3 blue slot are very good considering how weak yellow trinkets are.
>Rosary cannon>Press C to reload>It doesn't reloadWhat gives?
>>538309779Yeah, I met her, although not in this area. After how many waves does she shows up?
>>538311385I prefer the 3 way knife. Surprisingly high damage for how quick they are.>>538311724Wanderer is fantastic though, especially if you got your hands on longclaw. It helped me beat tons of bosses even before that too, you can also more easily perfect parry.
>>538266976>>538277635act 3 spoiler
>>538311828I think she shows up after you deal with the initial two waves.
>>538312078how about you actually spoiler it you fucking tard
Holy kino. Absolutely amazing fight.
How the fuck do i get up here, the way to the last flea is through this, I’ve seen two other areas with open ceilings like this too
Are the bugs in Wisp ticket people who had a visit from the grimm Troupe? They even teleport similarly.Speaking of which, the extra boss fight at the slab also made me think the first sinner has powers akin to the perfected vessel no?
The navigation in this game really sucks ass. I literally have no fucking clue where to go.
i liked the path of pain update.
>>538312617in act 3
>>538284008What crest is that? Witch?
>>538312574Best fight in the whole game imo.>>538312617You can't. You also never meet the bug who was hiding there again as far as I'm aware. Probably future DLC.I also spotted another place in an area called sands of Karak that made me think there was a DLC path there. Just this lone ledge after you jump across a gigantic gap with nothing in it, but the edge feels way too defined for some reason.
>>538312949Wait nevermind, I was writing and someone already answered with more knowledge than me. I guess I'm not far enough to know that.
>>538280721not to mention you can just hammer attack and parry through anything
What's witch's playstyle anyway? The healing seems insanely awkward to me, and also underpowered for some reason?
Is it just me or is rune rage extremely underwhelming for what you gotta do to get it?
>>538313487AWOOOGA AWOOOOGAARF ARF ARFAWOOOOOOOOOOOOahemm'lady
>lava is one mask>thorns are one mask>spikes are one mask>maggots in blasted lands are two masks
>>538313547why did the rune rage?to get to the other actXDDDD
>>538313791lava is 2 masks, you probably have the bell equipped
Just finished the game, why were people calling Phantom the secret boss when it feels like First Sinner is way harder to find (and actually challenging)
>>538312935ye, i love every single move except healing, i have to use faster binding to make it usable but goddamn, it's fun. it's like hunter but without the retarded diagonal pogo and double slash on pogo and sprint attack
>accidentally found The First SinnerCool.
>>538313941I do, alright thats a little more consistent then.
god damn. just beat Widow. first fight i tried to cheese at the end by spamming tools as fast as possible... how do the later bosses compare? i have a feeling i'm in for a world of pain.
>Beat the final boss>Get ending 3 too, since I happened to want to attempt it>Only just now realize I have a taunt buttonI could have made thing potentially easier on myself against those annoying fucks that keep flying away from you.
>>538305723used up all the shards during this gauntlet but when I learned the patterns of enemies it wasn't all that bad. used clawline and dash to skirt over the last wave enemies
>>538314620Yes you are
wheres all the craft metal. i got like 4 more weapons to buy/craft
how do I get this fucking flea
>>538315170>i have a taunt buttonYou have a taunt button?
>>538313350You have to get used to it, but the trade off is a faster bind that also functions as a psuedo-silk skill at the cost of being unable to heal without risking yourself. Also has pretty good range and a needle bounce, and for the late game it’s nicer to have more space for blue tools than yellow tools
>>538315830press the right stick (check keybinds for keyboard)
Is there a Reaper Crest upgrade and how do I get it?
>>538315775through a really shitty hidden route in the top right corner of a room in the vault
>>538315775Look closer at this spot.

>>538316263Or it actually might be this spot, I forget
>>538315971Just noticed that it burns silk. I've been spamming it all the time.
>>538292834You're supposed to hit a switch somewhere in that room that drops one of those things you're standing on, that breaks through the floor.
>>538315860Does it even work with the increase healing potential accessory? It feels like it just heals once per use.

>>538316248got that one already. thanks tho. more and more i regret buying the boomerang
>>538317471Its awesome, throw it at the ideal range so the arc starts where a boss is and it can land 4 or 5 hits. Combine it with the poison pouch to slice through groups of enemies to give everyone a taste and start to thin them out. I almost never take it off my crest.
What's the path to this flea?
so, how do i open these horizontal bars in the backrooms of the whispering vault? im pretty sure that's the way to the flea, it's one of the 2 im missing

it's incredible how grab attacks reset their animation, what a shitty thinghave you noticed it? take any enemy that multihits and stunlocks, if you get hit as soon as they attack it's fine, but if you get hit right at the end of the combo, it stuns you and extends the combo to deal the 2 masks, fucking bullshit

>widow phase 2jesus lady it really isn't that serious
>This game doesn't perfectly click with me so it needs to changeWhy are people like this? People don't really demand other mediums be changed to suit the viewer. They tend to express their dislike and, generally, move on. Yet with these difficult games, where difficulty is as much a part of the design as the artwork, people want it changed, saying they want to be able to participate, but only if the work is changed so that it's no longer the same thing.
which silkshot should i get?
can't beat the last judgesend help
>>538319760They spent 7 years waiting. It turned into a toxic parasocial connection where if it wasn't perfectly in alignment with their nebulous expectations (that they cannot even quantify themselves) then they rage like children. They probably view Hollow Knight with rose tinted glasses and forget the frustration they had dying to a boss over and over and over again.

God fucking damnit this game's fixation with flying enemies that constantly antitrack your movement. Even lategame bosses that should instead be fun grounded melee fights like the pinstress do this shit.

do I need to get to act III for this flea? from what I saw it looks like you need to go through some entrance above the statue here to get to it, but I can't imagine how without super jump
>>538323134Taunt them.

What a sick fight.
Double moss mother is slighty cancerous lol. Used most of my traps on the way to the room since I didn't know it'd be a fight and didn't have much to work with.
There might be a big secret room right in the center of Mount Fay, anyone know how to get it? I'm in act iii

>>538325786it's not really a boss, is it?the intent is for you to run through, it doesn't lock you in the room and forces you to fightwhat I don't get is if there's an intended way to fight him or the poke and hide is the only way
>>538326056you need to give a little more context.what was the last thing you did before it reset?
is there a quest with the green prince? I'm already in act3 and still haven't done anything for him

How the FUCK do you get into The Slab if you didn't get captured by one of the wardens? I tried scouring every known location for them, but I couldn't find any, and now when I go to the Slab from the Citadel I can't go anywhere. I found the Apostate Key in the Putrefied Ducts, but to progress further it asks me for the Heretic Key.
>>538325686i think i know the place you're talking about; i think this place right here is below the "exit" and the room is supposed to be in the center of the area map. ive tried banging every single wall around here, even in the secret flea area, i have no idea how to enter. im pretty sure it exists because the pinstress straight up tells you theres one
>>538327149Yes, but it's not a locked arena fight or anything, just an enemy.
>>538297959Read the journal, Hornet has a cute personality.
So I can play music now and I marked a spot before on my map that wanted me to play music. Should I just try it in areas to see what happens?

testing the witch crest. seems like its a retooling of the beast crest's concept, rewarding more aggressive play by turning your heal into a thread storm. it hits 3 times and heals 1 mask each hit so your heal can whiff if it hits nothing or only heal 1 mask if the enemy dies/moves away midattack. multibinder increases the number of hits to 4. i wanna say injector band does increase its speed but im bad ant noticing these things. theres no super armor on the "heal" so its very risk/reward i dont really like it too much but maybe someone like this. oh and the crest is 2 blue, 1 yellow for more defensive relics.

>>538334817They're not that hard, just wait for them to come to you, let them dash, jump over it, then hit them as they stop. Otherwise, you want to avoid running into them.

If I was rating the game a 9/10 I would GREATLY consider dropping it to 8/10 for the absolutely twisted game design that made someone consider Groal the Great and maggots in general requiring a full heal to remove, not healing you, instantly getting applied, AND constantly eating away at your silk and all the shit leading up to him. Hey, have an annoying and fairly long parkour section... into a mob gauntlet... Into an annoying boss fight. Fucking hell I hate this shit...
Why does a bug have boobs???
>>538275023There's at least 3 known keys, I've unlocked the door in wormways, door in Deep Docks, and the door in High Halls Which gives you a bunch of rosaries and a gun that fires them, some other shit wanna say a mask shard, I imagine there's certainly a 4th key though I'm only in act 2.
>>538346593The bomb guy that also explodes when he dies?

>first sinner really susceptible to cogwork wheel. 3rd tried it. if it wants to do projectile spam, i can do it right back
Bilewater is by far the worst area of the game so far. Annoying fucking maggot water debuffing your silk but not enough enemies to fight to get enough silk to get rid of the maggots. Touch the water, tough fucking luck just suicide and try again. Good luck getting through the level, then then parkour, then the gauntlet, then the boss.
How do you think the Knight would fair in Silksong?And I don't just mean canonically. After all, the knight from the first game is canonically stronger than Hornet, beating her twice and taking out the Radiance. It's fair to say that, story-wise, the knight would stomp the challenges of Pharloom.What I'm wondering is, if you could play through Silksong using the Knight with all of their abilities from the first game, would it be harder or easier than playing with Hornet?I've noticed combat is a lot more fast paced with faster enemies to compensate for Hornet's faster speed, so it might actually be more challenging with the Knight. Than again, the Knight's pogo attack is so much easier to use that it might just break the game.I kind of wonder/hope we get a mod where someone manages to put the Knight into Silksong one day just to see how it would work.
man, rune rage is a real ass button. really sucks that im architect pilled right now. is there a crest built for spamming silk skills?
>>538348814Holy fucking shit this place, the flying poison bugs respawn, they nest where you need to jump and explode in a poison damage puddle when they die. Maggot water everywhere. The fucking ghilie suit dudes jumping out of nowhere with their bullshit tracking pins that explode in poison. Four times now I've tried to just get to the fucking bell station and each fucking time one of the ghilie fucks hops out of the maggot water and nails me midair so I drop into the maggot water or knocked into another enemy. Am I not supposed to be trying to get through this place from sinner rest? Do I need to start somewhere else? I am just dying over and over and wasting shard bundles.
how do I get this beetle to fuck up Pilgrim's Rest he just despawned
>>538348962dunno about modding but considering both the original HK and silksong are made in unity, i doubt there'd be much troublethat said given that the wanderer crest is basically the knight's moveset given to hornet, i doubt the knight would have too much troublethat said, exactly how much difficulty the knight would have depends upon how many charms and notches they have when arriving in pharloom
>>538347973so you didn't free the green prince in sinner's road?
>assumedly have Groal close to death>hit him from underneath>stuns him, causing him to instantly fall and kill me>explosion hits one of the green flies>it now cannot be damaged but still very much damages me>stun chef boss>has the stun animation>actually totally fine and continues fighting me
getting squeaky clean with the good pal
>>538349446it's not that hard, take it a little slower, you can ignore the maggots since they don't damage, and you can just fight 2 or 3 flies to get a heal, since they respawn you can take your time, but the random dart-throwers are truly annoyingalso, I don't think you can do the rest of bilewater from sinner's road, you can unlock the bell travel but nothing else, no map, no boss, you should probably skip for now
>>538350358Then where else do I have to go in act 1, blasting lands and the mist? Does progressing to the cocoon in blasting lands lock me out/progress to act 2? Not trying to 100% shit but want to make sure I'm not missing large swathes of the game.
Did I ruin my save file 18 hours in just now?Should I start over?
>>538350763I would also like to know this.

>>538349475I left the area and came back and he was fucking shit up in the shop. Make sure you broke the door.
>>538350974Yup a crit.
>>538351625It's in the area above the Bench in Weaverbase Alta, gotta double jump in the elevated area.
Is there anywhere in act 1 that's good for farming shell shards in particular? I know I can farm rosaries and buy them from some merchants but I want to know all my options.
just beat the fucking game and man, these bosses and enemies need to have their damage nerfedwhy do 90% of the bosses and most enemies do two masks worth of damage? it's literally the same damage the fucking radiance did in the first the first gamealso trying to pogo off of enemies and do platforming with some of these crests are annoying as fuck since you can't attack straight down and ended up with me dying a lot the progression is so strange in this game too, it took so long just to upgrade my weapon, so i can actually do damage compared to the first game
>>538353142dont think there is one. im still buying shard bundles as my sole option for it well into act 2
Absolute kino
>>538287589Quest from the board in Songclave to go there with Shara. You'll explore a place you can't normally and find the key there. Careful though, you face a boss down in a pit.
>>538353142Equip the blue magnet and shard increase charms and kill the 3 enemies to the right of the halfway house. I think 29 beads and 15 shards per 3 enemies for a few seconds of work. There's a bead stringing station further right past tue next 3 enemies if you don't have access to belleville vendor yet. You can farm the shards and buy bundles to double dip.
>>538323975Will be added in the free dlc.
>>538353142how are you running such a shard deficit? i'm out here using my tools to blow away enemies if i'm too lazy to do a room, not even mentioning boss fights, and i still stay near max
>>538353936cogwork dancers really was cool as fuck
>>538347691lol
it wasn't worth it
>>538353746why are you whining if you beat the game? you think you'd have more fun if everything tickled you for 1 damage while you were healing for 3?
Chakra needs to stay in one place longer the faggot, he moves so quickly and I don't have half my map
>>538357286nobody tell him
>google "Silksong Silk Heart Locations">content aggregate sites all say "All Silk Heart Locations">just have 1>literally none of the first page results have anything of valuethis world is over...
Wtf is this arena, it doesnt stop
>>538357286Climb the rocks on the right side of bone bottom to find her, if she isnt there hit the ring to summoner her. She relocates to the bell village once you've advanced the story.
>>538357532sir, your tools?
>>538357532that isnt even the final wave
jeez TC a whole ONE EIGHT of a spell??????totally worth the hidden path of pain with extra troll boulders!!!
>>538357532post when you get to the funny part
>>538357659how many in total? i swear it's like wave 8 or 9 or something>>538357615i used it all, maybe i'll save on easier waves
anyone know how to get this flea?
Full of Hornet porn materials
>>538355341I use tools on bosses, especially with the poison charm. Setting the Sting Shard for them to run into or throwing a knife when they're doing something out of range adds up.
Holy fuck I can’t believe that platforming section in Cogworks is mandatory. Anyways, how difficult would you say this game is in comparison to Hollow Knight?
>raging conchfly>5 minutes of actually difficult parkour for runbackoh my nigga please tell me theres a bench between the parkour and the boss so i dont want to kill myself each runback
>>538358113Silksong is IWBTG or Spelunky and HK is OG Mario.Honestly I don't think HK experience matters much in combat/platforming
>>538358437>IWBTG?
The bosses in this game are so good. Its like you get a Nightmare Grimm tier boss every time.
>>538358113it's much more difficult it's like if they made every boss NKG and every enemy those big tunnel beasts from deepnest >>538358650i want to be the guy
>>538358650the most bullshit platformer ever released
>>538357982such an insidiously horny game
>>538357904You missed a hidden wall on the left, top of the green area there
How do the memory lockets work?
>>538359036Unlock more slots on your crests.

>>538359131Only one crest?
Is there any way to have the pilgrims survive the last judge or does she always kill them with her first hit?
>>538358737I found Phantom a couple hours back and its so fucking good. The boss roster has some flubs but most are great
who else got bamboozled by the trail into doing the flying rat pogo for 20min?
>>538358737if grimm constantly shat children to hit you
>>538358737you reminded me to start playing this theme from now because OST for silksong are just irrelevant garbage
Is there any way to lower an elevator without getting in it? Or do I have to manually go down an elevator and loop back around?
How much game would you say there is left after beating the Cogwork Faggots and getting into Whispering Vault? I also haven’t fully explored the entirety of lower Pharloom yet.
Widow is the best fight so far.
>>538359854The thing is that act 2 really lacks bosses in general and most cool bosses are in act 3 which 99% of players will never reach
so about naked hornet... what the fuck you guys I thought this part was shopped?
>>538360190they have no reason to have done that many gauntlets
>>538360148One of the plants is blocking a tunnel so you can get the item. You also get wallgrab once you clear the area after Sister Splinter.
>>538360190DLC will fix it just like with HK.
>>538349235It's called Reaper.
>The Far Fields skull hutIf only there were a horrible name, Team Cherry, that I could call you that would make you as angry as I am.
i can't get the quest for the second sentinel to appear
>>538359302One memory stone unlocks one slot on one crest.
Are the side quests worth doing? They seem kind of gay? Also, there are spells? When do you get those?
>>538360908>Are the side quests worth doing?you have to do them to get act 3
Is there a quest for the green prince? How do I get it?
This was not Path of Pain, but still pretty damn painful.
test
Whoever said the Savage Beastfly hunt in the Far Field wasn't as bad as the one in the Citadel because the adds weren't RNG was a damned liar.On a related note, anyone know where to submit a bug report to TC? If you fall in the lava and the Beastfly charges into the lava at the same time he won't reappear until you leave the room.
What's the purpose of the longpin? It seems pretty shit.
>>538361140i really don't see what all the fuss was about. i fumbled around in the starting area next to map lady's camp for a bit, but then i went on to ascend the entire mountain in about ten minutes. it was cool, but not the grueling challenge that some people make it out to be
>>538360608That climb out was nutty
>>538360640So I'm screwed it I put them on the wrong crest?
>>538361510The most bullshit area is Vilewater, unanimously
>>538361668Bilewater earned its name. I wanted to puke playing that area.
>>538361894it's such a shit area, but the OST is really nice
Out of curiosity, how did (You) beat Moorwing? I just pogoed him to death after parrying his spam claw attack. Are there other, more convenient ways?
>>538362280You can go to the top exit of the map and downward slash till it dies
>>538361574You can buy more from vendors, find them, and several are rewards from quests.
>>538361574Until you find another one, there should be enough to fully unlock all the crests.
Which do you think is the better game: Silksong or HK? I hated HK and never got passed the Green Hill Zone or whatever the fuck it was called, but Silksong feels like a significant improvement.
>>538363014Unfair comparison. You'd be comparing a game with DLC and many balance passes and bug fixes vs. a recently released game. Gotta give it some time.
>>538363014I think silksong is already better than hk even with all its dlc
>>538363014Mechanically: Silksong > Hollow KnightArtistically: Hollow Knight > SilksongWorse music, worse presentation, worse story, worse characters. Fantastic combat.
YOU CAN DASH DOWNWARD!?
WATER IS WET!?
>>538364202and run up walls too
what effect does the hunters crest give?
>>538364202It took me a long time to figure out you could just run period, I was just wavedashing around everywhere
>>538364613Every crest has a different running attack as well.
what was their endgame in making lace so cute? what's the master plan here?
>>538360587reaper's extra silk gain is sort of a trap cause its just to make up for its slow attack speed. you need to pickup like 3 orbs to get a single silk pip, where other crests can just hit a second time.
okay so here's my take.Certain games have emergent properties that generate delight. Right? Rocket jumping in Quake is a good example of this. Completely unintended, two simple systems collide and create something new.I think Silksong has all sorts of simple systems that are working as a kind of traumatic emergent property generator together.Example: I'm fighting Moorwing. I grab the AI companion because, you know, he shows up and wants to fight with me, why would I say no? Turns out your AI partner can PARRY PROJECTILES INTO YOU. So I'm fighting this boss on 1 hp and my robot teammate nails a frame perfect parry and whips a blade across the ground at me.Why not just add some code that prevents friendly parried projectiles from dealing damage to you? Who knows.Another example: I'm fighting two crows. These crows have a behavior that makes them fade into the background to sit on a perch when you go off-screen and out of their range. Pretty cool behavior. Makes them feel more like crows and less like pixels. Let's combine this with something else: the vision sphere around Hornet that veils 80% of the screen in darkness in certain areas.I run away from these two tiny crows into a tight hallway. A slightly higher-tier crow enemy is in here, I barely survive (because, you know, it deals 2 hp per hit and I have 5 hp). I know the crows are to my left but I can't see them. They fade into the background, remember? The first one appears and I dodge it. I drop down and away from it and fall directly on top of the second crow. I couldn't see it because of my vision being nearly totally blocked.I could've dodged out of the way of the second crow, I have a dash, but my screen was blocked so I couldn't see it. Why bother with all this hyper-mobility if I can't plan ahead to use it?It's like there are all sorts of little things in Silksong working together to feel frustrating and cheap that really could've been alleviated with tiny changes..
>>538361370the second fight isnt as bad cause you can just leave his arena whenever he summons adds. the beastfly will reset his position to the center of the arena but the adds will try to follow you but are stuck at the arena edge. you can just kill them with knives then return to the arena for a fair boss fight.
>>538361110iunno, he just talked about his gay lover when i found him again.
>>538365047I'm not reading this because of obnoxious formatting
>>538364878why is TC like this?
>>538361510For me it's the cold. I always go through all areas slowly and thoroughly. So getting a strict timer made it look harder than it actually was.
>>538364878the real reason to use reaper is the ridiculous down attack. if you hit it just right you can pogo off of background objects that are slightly above you because the swing's hitbox is so massive. the only practical use case i've found for this is a few second time save on the final judge runback where you bounce off of a shield guy's head and then catch a bell right above his head that would ordinarily be just out of reach, but it's still cool
Walking around: wanderer crestBoss fights: witch crestWhat about you guys?
Wow.I've been down on the game somewhat but there's a boss in act 3 That's probably my favorite of either game. I legit didn't use tools against her because I was enjoying it so much, while most other bosses I've been shredding with tools.I forgot where I got it but there's these clockwork flying beetles tools I have and it's legit "You didn't beat the game" how fucking broken they are. I also have a tool that makes them apply poison so it's super fucked.
>>538266491Just cleared the game with 100%This game kind of sucks cock ass dickWay too much grinding, shit quests, shit rewards for exploring, punishes you way too hard for tiny mistakes, way too much "run back and forth 20000 times between areas with no fast travel", has the least fun and least rewarding platforming of any game I have ever played and I cleared I Wanna Be The Guy. Hitboxes are pretty shit, 2 damage contact damage and fall damage is insane when they can both magically hit you multiple times. Economy is dogshit, beads are gay, way too many "HAHA GET DARK SOULED" moments from people who dont realize that Dark Souls doesnt just randomly kill the player for no reason without warning.Fuck man I have never once in my life been so fucking annoyed with a game. This game is literally designed in almost every single way to be annoying and frustrating over difficult.Cant wait to never play it again while I keep Hollow Knight 1 in the state where I replay the entire game every other year or so.
Hornet's knighttalk is getting on my nervesI don't know why people think the fake ass middle age speech is cool
>>538367034>from people who dont realize that Dark Souls doesnt just randomly kill the player for no reason without warning.Why are you literally lying?
>>538366431i would have kept using reaper for that down attack too but i traded off of it eventually. >>538366593i fell in love with architect. getting the silkshot was so good for it cause it takes the place of a silk skill that only needs one pip. allows you to have piece of mind for your ammo count when exploring, but i rarely ever use the in-field crafting if at all. very versatile. its down attack is chargable.
>>538367162It literally doesn't, you can see every single thing coming your way in Dark Souls and are legit retarded if you cant.
>>538367249Helkite Dragon. The boulder at the start of the game.
>>538367142I was fine with it for a while but there were some conversations down the line of the game that were legit just poorly written. She gets super wordy and it feels like some 13 year olds attempt to make a 'cool' character.
>>538367297You can literally see the boulder if you use your eyes retard kun, and the Hellkite Drake has fire all over the bridge and screams giving you like 10 seconds to get the fuck out of the wayWay different than being mid pogo and having 2 flying enemies just show up and fucking input read you.
Skull Tyrant is the only mini boss/boss that hasn't given me some reason to be annoyed and I actually enjoyed it. What I'm saying is, Skull Tyrant is too chill and doesn't belong in Silksong. They should triple his health and double his speed and number of falling rocks.
>>538367434Okay.
So, when does she give new upgrades? I though it was after obtaining new crests, but it doesn't seem to be the case — I've just got an architect crest but nothing from Eva.
>>538367461Actually, Fourth Chorus was also chill.
holy shit someone already made a speedrun!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzxJgWbm_3I
>>538367162>>538367297good job proving his point that you are retarded
Where do I find the second one of this guy?
>>538367553I stopped going to her. She's a liar.
was not expecting a QTE lmao
>>538367003you can summon 4 cogflies then sit at a bench to refill your ammo if you got a clear short path to a boss. cogflies is fair cause i become the boss with the flying adds too.
>>538367034I disagree. Sad that you got so upset, buy yourself a happy meal or smthng to restore balance in life.
i have entered the fire ant area and bird area, this game is getting really fucking hard to me now, i did not grow up on platformers, i gave up on the bird danger room, and fire ant area is self explanatory. i dont remember HK being remotely this hard, whats the chance nerfs go around in afew weeks?
>>538367553Possibly when you fully unlock notches on 1 crest
>>538367873Have you gotten your first needle upgrade yet? If not, wait until then. Unfortunately that requires beating what some consider to be a wall.Buy your tools and upgrade your favorite crest with more slots using the memory things. Farm beads to the right of Greymoor's inn. I didn't know about crest upgrade until getting to Judge lol.
>>538367873HK is extremely easy for majority of the base game. SS gets much harder than what you've experienced so far. They will mb nerf encounters in some places, if people complain too much. Or when they gather enough player data and see main bottlenecks.
>>538367873>whats the chance nerfs go around in afew weeks?It's Cherry so who the fuck knows. I don't see them doing much more than perhaps adjusting health pools very slightly and maybe adjusting Savage Beastfly, at least as far as bosses go.
>enemy doesn't drop shitWhy am I fighting again?
>>538367553each silk heart you get, so 3 times in total
>it's 2025>50+ hour metroidvania has missablesnice
>>538367553where is that?
>>538368694she upgraded my slots twice and my crest twice, and im still at two hearts. i think its different conditions for either one.
>>538368832Use the Needolin to unlock the door in Moss Grotto and explore that area. At least I think it was there and not the door at Far Fields.
What's a silk heart.
This game is a fucking hate letter to its fans and I can literally feel the contempt the developers had for the players when designing this gamehaha bro enjoy taking 2 damage because i read your input and flew 1 pixel away from you then take another 2 damage because you got a bad spawn then another 2 damage and die from environment which was also a random spawn then run 10 minutes back and you're still not even at the boss yet
All the complaining would be solved if silk healing was faster.
>>538274287>>538275446>>538277947>her>she>herSherma's a boyhttps://www.teamcherry.com.au/hk-physical-late-anniversary-celebration-silksong-mini-update/>Sherma>An optimistic pilgrim on a spiritual journey. Sherma’s path may often cross with Hornet’s own, but his lack of combat and acrobatic prowess can land him in desperate need of aid.
>>538369853You're exaggerating but I do agree a bit. It actually reminds me a lot of Dark Souls 2 where they looked at 1, saw people enjoyed the difficulty, then took it the wrong way and just pumped the game full of frustrating design decisions.
what's that? i'm SURROUNDED by enemies? they have the GROUND and the AIR covered and i'm in a corner? truly a conundrum...what if, in response, i were to deploy a torrential flood of poison triple throwing pins that pierce enemies and hit every single creature in the room? i think this is a proportional response
>>538370087i ascertained that in the intervening 17 hours, buddy. kind of a late reply
>>538369853So you do not enjoy:>Bosses taking forever to die due to inflated health>2 damage from boss, adds, and environment>Short iframe after receiving damage so a hit is most likely 4 damage instead of 2>Your first mask upgrade being pointless since everything does 2 damage>Silk for heals taking about 20 hits to generate enough silk>Able to be cancelled out of heals and lose your silk>Sister Splinter giving you 2 contact damage when she falls>Savage Beast fly having RNG adds, both the type and amount>etc?
I refuse to do shitty fetch quests, so i won't go for the "true ending", the normal ending will suffice. the game is shit. it's total shit, it has no reedeming quality. story is shit, controls are shit, bosses are shit, normal enemies are shit, map is shit, abilities are shit. npcs are shit. it's shit all the way downit's on the level of a troll mod of hollow knight. I can't figure out how can the same studio make both games
>>538370236Poisoned throwing pins, my beloved...
>>538370404All issues related to skill.
>>538370486As far as metroidvanias go, I'd say it's a 6/10 and that's only because of the art and atmosphere. It's a solid 5/10 otherwise. It's playable but not enjoyable due to so many flaws.
>>538370579are you a bot?
>>538370760are you over the age of 30?may be a hands diff for you old man
>>538370087What is the point of Hornet being "gendered child" when everyone is just as gendered?
>>538368715what did you miss?
>>538370857i see. you're just retarded then. thanks and sorry.
>>538370908personally? the first Moorwing fight and I don't know if I lose the complete encyclopedia entry because of that. I did hear that some enemies in The Mist can be missed.
Anyone else noticed that they totally copied Metroid Dread with the Act 3 twist?
>>538370486it doesn't seem like you're very interested in playing the game. are you just here to talk to us? that's kind of you. i would recommend that you play something that you enjoy, but i think we both know that you're not looking for solutions.
>>538371107You can find him in a different area in greymoor after you get to act 2.
Fuck everything about the last two hours of my life.
>last judge>bell attack>bell does damage to you while it is stationary on the ground if you move into itthis game was just made to piss you off
>>538371562Yes. I feel like it's a cruel joke because they knew it would sell and they won't be asked about the next game or DLC now.
>Finally find a cool male character>He's gayKinda detracts from Hornet's persona when every other npc is also a girlboss.
>cogflies are killing pogo enemiesback to the bench
>>538371732I'm gay so I was happy when I found him
What are the requirements for Eva's crest upgrades? I just visited her for the first time and got two but no idea why.
You see that gear above the door? Break it.
>5 hour speedrun achievement >30 hour 100% completion achievementThese Aussies are mentally cracked
>>538372772Not minethough 30hour 100% looks fucking crazy
thanks eva
Boy Lost Lace feels a little bit bullshit. If I have to fight Lost Grandma right after I may have to kms.
My single complaint about the game is its audio mixing. Why the fuck are boss battles SO LOUD?
>>538370870She's the only one of Pale King's children that isn't a genderless Void blob in a mask. Regular bugs are gendered.
TROBBIO!
>clockwork bug slices at me for 2 masks>then get knocked back to a gear for 2 masksare you fucking kidding me
>>538375176When I was struggling with >>538361370 I got wombo comboed for 5 masks a couple times, would have been 6 if I weren't using the anti-fire charm.
what do I do with these? I follow the trail but it leads to nothing?
>>538375072I loved that super dramatic ending. You can hear him gasp if you move away a couple screens and go back after defeating him I
>>538363014Launch SS mogs Launch HK

new thread?
>>538367940It's probably crests after all — just not every crest.I've unlocked witch now and went to Eva without spending any memory lockets and she upgraded my universal crest.
I'm only missing 2 fleas, can I get some hints? The first one is on far fields in what looks like to be a space behind the closed metal door on pilgrim's rest. The other is between songclave and putrified ducts.
>>538380340there is a hidden wall at the far fields station (if you are talking about that door with a beast growling)
anyone got the location of where to get all simple keys? there's one door left and I have no idea where to find the last key
>upgraded hunter has i-framesDamn. I like reaper more but not getting fucked by enemies while pogoing is better, beastfly was actually fun to fight with it.
>>538380220my theory is that it's a total number of unlocked slots on your crests, sometimes i got an upgrade after getting a crest but not alwaysor a total number of crests idk man
>>538361441It flies through multiple enemies and hits through shields.
>>538380340If you don't have the space east of songclave explored, you probably missed a hidden wall in the vaults
>>538382252
>>538338176get to him via a secret entrance to a secret area in hunters mark
>>538370404The hits required to heal would be fine if i did have time to heal afterward but all bosses and ambushes leave you really small windows to heal and you get canceled out of it if you get hit so the only real play is you have to play perfectly and not get hit ever. Might as well take out the heal and heal you automatically out of combat unless they add iframes to binding
>>538383092HEAL IN THE AIR RETARD
