i ended up quiting my game and going to a bench that was up there.

took about 8 tries. she was fun but openings during her second/third phase are small so it's better to play defensively than offensively which took me a bit to figure out since SS has mostly forced me to play offensively.
I did learn that throwing tools are pointless in this fight. They're only really usable in phase one and are either too dangerous in two/three or just not worth the silk loss from not using needle, so I went with the melee buff tools which were a lot better. once I figured all that out and how to deal with each attack, it only took two more tries.
>>
I was bitching here yesterday about this game being too hard, read some posts here and got the reaper shark and went to the next area since i completed the flea caravan, yea this next green lake area is super easy compared to the scissor wielder place, weird balancing
>>
>>538488778
you can squeeze in a throw in phase 2 before the fire blocks it, if you get poison effect on your tools it adds up very quickly since the openings to hit her with a nail are short
>>
Is left trigger ever used? Why the fuck do I have to up/down + right bumper to use tools if left trigger is free? Why can we not rebind? I use tools while exploring but almost never use them during boss fights because of having to press the combo messing up my ability to quickly respond.

Holy fuck, they genuinely did not playtest their game. The fact that you can just leave the boss room for the skull ant + flying ant combo boss, and it just completely resets them. That's some Dark Souls 1 levels of jank.

I didn't get the chance to do Moorwing early game since I took the fleas but why the fuck adjust Sister Splinter? She's probably the second easiest boss I've fought so far. If all they're doing is reducing or removing contact damage on stun, then I get it. Anything else is kind of ??? when there's bosses with actual issues like Savage Beastfly.

I noticed that Silksong LOVES to overwhelm you with shit happening all over the place, simultaneously and chaotically.
You have to have advanced multitasking ability (or luck).
Not that it's bad, per se, I'm just noticing differences between two games.
Though I admit that I haven't played Hollow Knight in a couple of years, so I might be misremembered what HK was like.

Right, okay, if they were going to make mild balance adjustments to something like Savage Beastfly I would kind of get that one (you're often left to the mercy of rng with what enemies spawn and when it decides to do the overhead slam attack). But these two bosses? These are the easiest fucking bosses in the game man. Literally just use your Silk Skills!

No. I think the fanbase was smaller, and the people who played it (old genZ, young millennials) were more resilient to frustration. Silksong seems to have a lot of newer, younger players who can't handle frustration.

nope. one day hollow knight was dropped on steam with next to zero previous marketing, so "modern audiences" weren't immediately infatuated by it. probably doesn't help that silksong is miles more difficult than it. I seriously can't see the average casual player beating lost lace until someone discovers some sort of easy cheese.

Same, but for SisSplint, since she holds your cocoon hostage, I think that should maybe be removed (push the cocoon outside of her vines after death) or make her weak enough to where the average(?) player wont regret facing her without preparation.
>>538494152
The thing with Moorwing is that he gives kinda a lot of time broadcasting his attacks, at least for phase 1, and doesn't spam them quickly. I can kinda understand for phase 2 when he mixes things up and does the charge + talon toss or the tricky double talon toss though.
The bench being a little far is a bit annoying too.

>>538506502
Hold sprint, jump, jump as soon as you land. As long as you don't mess up the timing it's ezpz. If you do, run back to bench. That's the only annoying part of the run back and it's literally the first.

People had problems with sister splinter?
I just set 4 traps skipped phase one then used one of her lackeys to pogo on top of her and she melted after she gets knocked down.

Wanderer pogo with weights is so under appreciated.
>>
>>538506810
doesn't stack, 2 ticks of damage that roughly translates to a basic needle slash
damage upgrades are few and far between, it's very worth it imo, between 2 red slots on crests you get a lot of ammo for your shit, you can keep the poison going all the time on bossfights

i didn't even have any traps yet when i fought her and she was totally fine
>>
>>538506987
I think she was one of the first bosses with adds but they're low health that go down in a few hits or can be lanced. There are a few cheap things that can lead to deaths:
She can fall on you and you receive contact damage
In the final phase she'll shoot vines through the whole area an inch apart so when you attack to break one, you'll recoil into the one behind you if you don't have that recoil reduction item equipped.

Other than that she's super easy and both issues can be solved with minor tweaks like no contact damage during her initial fall and very slightly increasing the space between vines in the final phase.

I've had enough of sinners road. The mist or bilewater? There's a new area hidden behind every fucking wall in this game its great.
>>
>>538507063
Makes sense, you can also use the vines to climb on top of her and pogo until she falls, she has surprisingly low stun resistance.

I had more problems with the dumb bird cage than her, stupid flappy birds.

mist leads to 10/10 bossfight
bilewater leads to pain and suffering

Got my first simple key, which would you recommend
>worm place door
>door under first Lace fight
>prisoner in sinner’s road
>>
>>538508191
I'd say the better priority list would be: worm, then prisoner, then docks
worm gives you access to a really good crest and a shortcut to a few areas, a lot of exploring
prisoner gives access to an npc in the citadel, and the docks I haven't opened but I'm sure it's just a few nice items but nothing really special (I hope I'm wrong)
>>
>>538508191
wormways has the best reward, deep docks needs another movement upgrade to proceed that you'll get in act 2

Are ALL spikes and spike-like hazards pogoable? I have noticed I can on some, but I recalled earlier in my playthrough that I had tried and ate shit a few times so I stopped even trying everywhere by the time I got to act 2. I want to say it was the thorns in Hunter's March, but I can't quite remember, maybe I just shat the bed those times... I'll try again later.
>>
>>538512536
no, not all of them. as a rule of thumb if they look uniform like metal spikes or stalactites you can do it. but not if they're brambles or thorns. but even then, if I want to waste 2 or 3 masks grabbing money that fell onto spikes, why should I be stopped? even if you wear the magnet it doesn't fucking work because they poof into the ether if they so much as graze a spike.
>>
The rhino behind the door in Pilgrim's Rest returned! It disappeared and didn't come back when I opened the door and left, but now it came back inside of Mort's house in act 2.
Problem is, I still need to fight another to get the jounal, and I don't know if that means the first time we find him or if there is another rhino somewhere in the world.

Every charged attack is awful on virtue of not giving silk though. Assuming you consistently land silkspear, about 50% of your damage comes from silk, that's without even taking into account that you are going to take hits at some point and probably want to heal those.

I think I just need a few mementos, and the final boss before I'm finished. I'm really enjoying it, but if I had to find any faults here it would be:

>Too many farming quests, with no substance to them
>Yellow slots are a fucking waste most of the time
>There should be a way to magnetize shards (not that it's hard to remain topped up unless you spam the hell out of your tools)

Hidden spots being too plentiful is maybe a gripe, but I feel that's a reach. Maybe they could add some type of tracker on future DLC for items. Also hunter's buff is nice, but not being able to get hit at all pretty much means it's the perfect play style, which is a tad annoying.

Is it wasteful to use memories on the architect crest? The moveset seems not terrible and i like using tools but im worried that ill just be shard starved forever.

perhaps i should wait to see the later crests.
>>
>>538525882
There are enough tokens to fill up every crest.
No guarantee you'll find them in time of course, but you won't get locked out or anything.
>>
architectfriends are using cheat for infinite shards, change my mind
>>
>>538525882
You need to use memories in order to unlock new upgrades from Eva. Architect has an insanely strong charge attack, otherwise it's not that insane imo.
>>
>>538525882
>>538526026
remember that you can grind rosaries and spend them on shard bundles. it's way faster than trying to grind the shards themselves

>>538526124
oh I did not know you could upgrade crests other than the base one.

>>538526005
I suppose I should be fine then since I've determined I won't be using reaper or beast at all.
>>
>>538526338
You can't, Eva upgrades are besides buffing Hunter, she'll give you a general slot for yellows and another for blues, that work on all crests.

She is. I only managed to get the final upgrade after spending all possible locks. My friend had the same amount of crests as me, but he couldn't get the 3rd upgrade for some reason, while I could. I then realized I had spent pretty much all my lockets up to that point, and then he used some of his and got the upgrade afterwards.

I got everything from her without even getting Shaman.

Spam tools/spells to get rid of the flier. Big uy alone is easy,

Definitely not silk hearts. I got the first upgrade, picked up wanderer, and she immediately gave me the second one.

This game is subpar overall and you all need to cope. Before this title released, I thought to myself, "Hmm, theyre going to spam enemies and bloat enemy HP in order to make the game...LE HARD! because they're going to try to outdo Hollow Knights difficulty, much how Elden Ring - another 6/10 video game - tried to up the difficulty by adding enemy spam. I was correct, of course, as I often am.
I'm going to let you midwits in on a little secret - spamming enemies in order to up the difficulty is a sign the developer is a hack. Team Cherry are hacks.

The issue is not THAT a game is hard, it is HOW the game is hard. Silksong achieves it in the most eyeroll way possible; enemy spam, such as the two savage beasts fights (much like Elden Ring, this game has an abundance of boss re-usage)
Also! This game has -
> bad hitboxes
> a boring, tacked-on fetch quest system that feels like some sort of ironic joke, but isn't
> clunky movement
This game also does nothing impressive or new; it even has the
> retrieve three macguffins
thing that hollow knight has. It's boring. Even the haunting is just the infection again, which is just the hollowing from Dark Souls. It is boring and uninspired, but I know the average human - this is you all reading this - loves safe, uninspired, and boring.

I know none of you care however, as the video game medium is in such shambles that when a 6/10 game releases you all treat it like the second coming of christ. Books, movies, and television are still superior artistic mediums. Like Hollow Knight and Final Fantasy 7, the only good thing about this game is the music. Actual video games, like RE9 and Grand Theft Auto, will actually do something new and interesting, unlike Silksong. And no, redditors, their team being small and the price being low does not make them immune to critique.

Cope and seethe.

>>538526447
I just tested and I think it's the memory lockets
between the first and second upgrade I used a memory locket and got the architects so it's inconclusive, but then I spent 6 memory lockets, fully opening two crests and got the third upgrade, and I still only have one silk heart

3 spell slots, 2 tool slots, don't remember what color they are
it's a caster crest, with longnail it has insane range, with 3 silk hearts you only need to hit something 1 time to get enough silk for a cast and if you go back to the cradle after getting the last movement upgrade you can pick up pale blades, silk skill that spawns 3 homing projectiles that murder fuck anything pretty much, works very well with the shaman crest

If you are really this committed to defense, there's a crest which the forgesister sells back in the magma zone, which reduces fire damage taken.

If you cheat your way in a dice game vs a bug and win 10 games in a row, you will get this dice as a yellow tool. That sometimes negate damage. It's very useful against heavy hitters in a fight with reliable healing
To win you need to look closely on Hornet dice hand, after 4-5-6 seconds of rocking the dices she twist her arm, if you release the button, she will whisper AAAAAAHHHHHH and dice begin to shine. Its a hint that you did good and cheat worked. So every time you roll count the exact number of seconds or follow her arm movement.

Also makes platforming for rare materials in the deep docks later much easier. There will be a platforming section full of hot rock walls that will do damage unless you have the charm.

Unironically, if you enjoy Silksong, better get your time in before the next few weeks. Every Joseph Anderson wannabe is going to start wanking themselves.

They should make a proper Sekiro RPG.
FUCK knights, FUCK slow. I want to move fast, parry, and snort funny buff powders.

Never. Ocarina of Time and Dark Souls 1 are my favorite games. And the new ones took their legacy and defiled it for the sake of the open world crowd and the pure action crowd respectively.

Stop trying to prove something, I'm a big fan of OoT and Dark Souls is the best one but Elden Ring is a much superior title.

Ocarina is dogshit
BotW is decent
Dark Souls 1 is excellent despite being too easy
Elden Ring is excellent despite the open world being a waste of time

I want Slow Souls back. Not trying to prove anything. It was the perfect mixture of action and turn-based combat, and now it's gone, for the sake of the coke-addled loons who got high off of Bloodborne. I don't want to be rolling in full plate every other second. I physically cannot keep up with the new games anymore.

that's a you problem

It is a me problem. I WANT slow souls back, for me specifically. I did not come to Souls to roll every other second like a maniac. But that's what the new games are, from the very first boss onwards.

My enjoyment don't affected by someone else opinion.
Better tell me, is there a reason to use charged attacks at all? Small hit window and you can deliver only one swing, but 4 hits opens you silk magic, I dunno guys
