>Fuck BilewaterNo. I love Bilewater. It really grew on me (like a fungal infection).
>>539304634And they didnt nerf Lost Judge herself, they nerfed the runback slightly. The only bosses they nerfed were Sister Splinter and Moorwing, who are early act 1 bosses. I doubt they'd just nerf the act 3 final boss because of difficulty, she isnt even that bad.
>>539304702Bilewater is unironically kino.
In your opinion:>Most overhated boss>Most overrated boss
>have to ring all the bells throughout the land to open the grand gategay
>>539304702>>539305019my bilewater boys are so chadly that they don't even give a fuck about the haunting. they're killing you just because you're in the wrong fucking neighborhood
Wait, Sherma is male?!
>>539305395Yeah he's a dude
>>539305395Another anon learns the truth about the cute shota
>>539305395a young boy, it seems, yes - hence the voice
I refused to believe some people beat this game blind. Ain't no way you figured out Sinner's Road bench fix and Bilewater's hidden chair location.
>>539304597Do you think the original form of Aspids and other goop-spewing bugs are were similar to Bilewater mobs?
>>539305545I figured out the Sinner's Road bench fix by myself but I had to be told about Bilewater's secret bench.
>>539305545>Sinner's Road bench fixI didn't, but I found The Mist by accident. Not solved the Mist puzzle myself, tho
>>539305545>I refused to believe some people beat this game blind.I did.>Ain't no way you figured out Sinner's Road bench fixI did.>Bilewater's hidden chair location.I had no idea about this though despite searching high and low for one. I eventually just accepted that Bilewater wanted me fucking dead and killed Groal from the bench in the Bellway.
>>539305212> Most overhated BossGroal, but I think people are slowly coming around to him> Most overrated BossEven though I love them, Cogwork Dancers, they're not as peak as other bosses they're compared to
>>539305601SameFree from shit game. I learned one valuable thing after wasting these 70 hours. Soulslikes (games with artificial, fuck you difficulty and 100 combos/moves per boss to memorize per encounter and execute perfectly) and Platformers are not for me. Back to RPGs, card games and turn based strategies. Have fun masochist and git gud bros
>>539305292Seems to be a common trend of plant-based creatures, the Mosskin also attacked anyone who wandered off the designated roadways in Greenpath.
>>539305698I don't think Cogwork are overrated, simply because everyone that rates them highly seems to accept that they aren't that hard, but love them for their immaculate vibe. You're right about Groal though.
>>539305545I feel like to be fair, if you can figure out the Hunter's March bench, then players should be able to figure out the Sinner's Road bench since it's a progression of the concept.
>>539305780>plant-basedI think they're just wearing camo.
>>539305783Breath of fresh air. Fair fight that is not overstaying it's welcome and is fun to do.>>539305767Godspeed
>>539305859Then you waste your time trying to fix Bilewater bench and there is no way to do so because fuck you
>>539305968The one that collapses when you try to sit on it, to the point that there's literally no bench afterwards?Also I don't know if you didn't notice but a greyed out version of the bench icon does show on your map for Sinner's Road, the same thing happens in Act 3 to the Bell Stations when Bell Eater hasn't been killed.
Wow was Khann the biggest pushover. The difference between him and the any lady is night and day.
>>539306063Sad but true. Poor guy is in desperate need of a buff.
Where is dragonflies and mosquitos in this game?
>>539306149He really is the Traitor Lord of Silksong isn't he?
>>539306152I don't think any enemy could be considered a Dragonfly. As for Mosquitos I think Squits are the closest the games get, the environment they're found in, and the shape of the Putrified Ducts ones.
>>539306221...Fuck.
>>539306152>dragonfliesVerdania>mosquitoesNowhere, unless you count the flies in Bilewater or Putrified Ducts. You would need something filled with blood walking around to have mosquitoes, and bugs do not have blood.
>>539306063He has aura though.>>539306372Mosquitos will drink fluids from other bugs, too. I've seen them sucking caterpillars.
would you sacrifice your life to save her if you were this autistic retard's parent?
>>539304702>gorgeous soundtrack>oppressive atmosphere>feels like a fucking maze>enemies have random layouts so you never feel safe>super memorable traps>kino hidden bench>Groal has a bunch of unique interactions with tools like eating bombs and being electrocuted by volt vessel while underwaterI'm going to say it - Bilewater will go down as a beloved experience to suffer through. It will become part of Silksong's mythos and legend the way Blighttown was to DS1.
>>539306063so tanky though, and the boss fight is basically the 5 gaunlets you have to do before>he uses the skipyou didn't beat the boss
>>539306502I want to say fuck no, but I'm honestly not sure.
>>539305545I was told about Hunter's March's bench. When Sinner's Road's didn't work, I assumed it was a similar matter.
>>539305292The flying dagger birds cowards and the flies are nasty but these guys are somehow cunning
>>539304597this overrated reddit slop doesn't really need a general
I'd hold Mooshka's hands and maybe Kratt. But Kratt has to pay.
>>539306756NTA, but I beat him and all his trials on the first try with the reaper crest only.
>>539307768I'd literally scratch Mooshka's fluffy fluff and play with his mustache, but I'd never touch Kratt in a million years.
How do you get captured to the Slab? Do you need to die to one of the fly bugs that sometimes appear outside of it? If so, why couldn't they have put a tough mob to the job?
>>539307947Mooshka is indeed a major cutie and one of the best bugs. I absolutely love the direction they went with him and his fleas.
>>539308084The fly doesn't need to kill you, just slam the cage its carrying onto Hornet.
>>539305545I played blind and found both because I always check walls.
>Avoided the Jew Stations the whole game>Today paid 80 Rosaries one time out of curiosity>Citadel/Underworks have own quick travel systemI could have had quick-travel this whole time?! FUCK. I though it was Rosary-stringing system, or silk bundle, or a bench or something
>>539308194I still think that they should been made very tough to kill (thrice the health and dpuble the damage) so that there's at least a chance of you fucking up and getting captured.
>>539308735Wait, Slab capture could be avoided? I thought it was a plot thing
>>539308969Yeah just don't get hit by the slow, somewhat squishy enemy.
>>539308520You must have 200 hours, considering those are not regular floor-level destructible walls, but "climb on the wall and check every centimeter" kind of walls.
>>539309034It's like Bloodborne jailers near the church except those are tanky and deal a lot of damage so there's a real chance you could die if you don't know how to fight them.
>>539305545>Sinner's Road bench fixI did, but only long after I beat the area>Bilewater's hidden chair location.I also did but only after I beat Groal and then saw a picture of someone sitting on the bench which prompted me to start a search for it
The coral tower in act 3 is impossible. I give up, just gonna cheat so I can progress.
>>539308735They should be spamming the sticky cumshot move, since most rooms they're in are kinda small so you can easily get hit by their barrages.
>>539309303Stop being a shitter.
>>539305395There’s a reason this game abbreviates to /ss/
>>539309303It's not that bad. Learn what enemies to prioritize, learn which you can safely tickle to death with normal attacks for silk. Architect's really good here for keeping your tools stocked, it's a long run, though the lack of a real down attack does hurt.
>>539309418No fuck you. 3 seperate instances of waves of enemies that do 2 mask damage that you have to refight everytime with no bench inbetween. There's probably a bullshit boss at the end of this and you have to redo everything if you die.It's dogshit game design.
>>539305531>>539305513>>539309578>youngIn early areas I thought Sherma was a (secretly wise) old lady. Or at least middle-aged. Gives that vibe, y'know?
>>539309710I had fun with the coral boss.
>>539309657>the lack of a real down attackWhat about Delver's Drill?
>>539309657You can't really restock tool with architect in memory, either to prevent cheesing or a bug, but your entire stock of shard is gone after single restock, you get it back when you return to real world tho.
>>539308590>Rosary-stringing systemwould show how many rosary strings you have below your current rosary count when the machine is approached. machine is also visibly smaller than other machines>silk bundleonly appears in 2 rooms and silk is visible inside the machine.>benchtypically has bells behind it outside citadel. pay benches in citadel are temporary and charge like 15 rosaries.
>>539309710I beat it all first try, keep Sneeding or gi gu, nigga.
>>539309953>I beat it all first tryNo, you didn't.
>>539309731>I thought Sherma was a (secretly wise) old lady.I don't get this at all. Sherma always came off as a blissfully unaware fool with too much faith for his own good. I could see you mistaking him for a young girl, but that's crazy.
Does anyone have an mp4 of that music that plays for the bilewater gauntlet before Groal? I can't find it on YouTube or other places.
>>539309831I dunno, I've never really used it. >>539309925That's fine. One's plenty.
>>539310010I did.
>>539309710>3 seperate instances of waves of enemies that do 2 mask damage that you have to refight everytime with no bench inbetween.Yeah, it's doable. I had an easier time with it than a lot of the harder parts of this game. >There's probably a bullshit boss at the end of this and you have to redo everything if you die.Nope.
>make a male character>make his name end with A???
>>539310271Joshua.
>>539310271Jerma.
>>539310358Fair enough, but it's still pretty rare.
>>539310271she's clearly female, don't let them gaslight you
>>539310020Sherma plays a melody to open a gate, later Hornet uses melody to open the gate. So "foolishness" seems more like a subtle hint to Hornet.Sherma is also aware of pilgrims resurrecting with silk.Only after arriving to Songclave it becomes apparent that he does not have hidden knowledge.
Are Barnaks reference to Half-Life's Barnacles?
I have a probably very dumb question: I beat Act 1, then went through the Underworks and arrived at the Choral Chambers. Then I went back down to the Citadel and past that to finish some shit. Is it possible to jump up through the chandeliers in Citadel to get back to Choral Chambers without having double jump? The last jump back up to where I exited from seems impossible
Karmelita runback is just a "fuck you", there is literally zero reason for it to exist, it's only there to waste time. First time I'm annoyed by runback so much, even bilewater was better because it was supposed to be a hard annoying area.
>>539310907Yes it's possible,
>>539311089Okay I'll keep trying later, thanksDoes that mean the Underworks are 100% optional and you can just ignore the elevator
Is wanderer any good for bosses?
>>539311217Yeah, lots of bosses have damage windows where Wanderer can get more hits in than other crestsPersonally I prefer the range of Reaper even if DPS is lower
>>539311217No, because if you use it you didn’t beat the game.
>>539311217Yeah it melts bosses.
>>539311217it's the closest to the original hollow knight moveset so yes
>>539311217It's higher damage if you can get in more hits than you would with other crests. The lower range does make that more difficult, though.
>Look up how to get to VerdaniaLiterally why would I go back to that spot in Greymoor? Unironically, how am I supposed to know?
Just got the architect crest. Is it as fun as it seems? The pogo looks like it might take some getting used to but I really like multi-hits. Also, not sure what I'm going to do with three red crests since I only ever use one tool at a time.
>>539306714>It will become part of Silksong's mythos and legend the way Blighttown was to DS1.That would require it to have valuable loot, NPC questlines, and a hot bitch with her tits out at the end of it. Bilewater has none of it. You can't heal and the boss is dogshit. The end.
>>539312178If you don't like to use different tools then just put ones that give you a buff in the slots
>>539312112Because you'd be skimming every area again in Act III for changes normally if you weren't following a guide for retards
>>539309953Lol no you did not.
>>539309062Break-able walls look different. (nta, but I have 40+ hours and am at Act 2.)
>>539312353They all have like 2 attacks, just don't rush them like a retard
>>539312338I marked every area that looked like it had a shine spark jump in it, but asking me to visit literally every single corner of the map to VISUALLY check if a random door opened is autism. In Metroid games I'd have a power bomb to force-open Hidden Door icons on the map just by walking into the room and leaving.
>>539312469Lol no you did not.
>>539312338>>539312520Oh yeah and there's not even a Void Mass anywhere remotely near it so there's truly no reason for you to be there. Autism.
>>539309404>>539308735When I first met one he didn't even try to use his cage once, so I just killed him.Had to surrender on purpose next time.
>>539310271>>539310512SHERMA985. Also fuck my depression I'm drawing Mooshka porn + wholesome and maybe posting it somewhere else later.
>Hear people say Architect Crest is one of the best crests.>Spend my money to finally get it.>It's tool based and I don't use red tools.Guess I'll be sticking with hunter a little longer.
So wait Hornet lives forever? Or in that she can't truly die she just gets constantly revived in a new body which explains her cocoon mechanic in game? Does the game explain her cocoon thing
How did Ghost climb out of the Abyss and wander off to wherever he was before arriving to Dirtmouth?
BROS THIS GAME IS LIKE SO SYMBOLIC LIKEIN HOLLOKNIGHT YOU START AT THE TOP AND GO DOWNBUT LIKE IN SILKSONG YOU SART A THE BOTTOME AND GO IUPITS LIKE WHOAH MANAND THERE IS LIKE SO MANY PARALLESLS IS LIKE PlAYING THE FIRSYT GAME ALL OVER AGAIN BUT DIFFERENT MANTHIS IS DEEP
I'm pretty deep into act 2. When do I get the double jump?
>>539313449Go to jail
Anyone here got the heart of the woods without looking it up?
>>539313413Unclear. There was probably another entrance in the Deepnests somewhere that the vessels were slipping out of.
>>539310992Update: really fun fight but I wish there was no runback at all. I want to fight her again without the gauntlet , no runback and with double the hp
>>539304597I'm tired, chief. How the hell do you unlock Nightmare Trobbio in Act 3 please? I've been the "The Stage" and there's nothing there. I also inspected something but there's nothing... What else?
>>539313585You should get a quest to kill him first, check the quest boards.
>>539305545The Sinner's Road puzzle is not that bad, you just have to be used to start smacking random walls whenever you see a seemingly locked door with no way out. Bilewater's hidden bench is way more insidious because you're being chased by those stupid ninja faggots when you arrive in that room, in terrain that heavily disadvantages you in a classic Team Cherry moment of filling the room with enemies you cannot deal with on a mechanical level, so you don't have time to look around. It's way more accurate to say nobody got the 100% trophy without a guide. Certainly not any of the fags bragging about earning it in <60 hours. There's simply too much truly hidden shit that requires you to visit basically every room in the game and mash your head against every wall on the offchance something is there.
>>539313323No, the death mechanic isn't explained the way it is in Hollow Knight with the Shades and the Void and regrets.The best cover for it is that Hornet inherited PK's foresight, which is why she startles awake at the bench when she "dies", she's just seen a possible future, but the cocoon itself has no real explanation afaik.
>>539313449Check the replies to you (>>539313000)
>>539313643How? I've checked the boards in Bellhart and I have nothing. And I've done everything else in the story, I was hunting for Mementos because the game wouldn't give me any more quests?
>Three infant flies go soft "Poof"Hornet:>AAARRRRGGGHHH IM DYINGI guess she's allergic to fly guts
>>539313761The citadel town, first shrine, checked that one? I don't know why the quest wouldn't appear for you
Fuck, I hope it's not a bug, but I can't fight Tormented Trobbio would really piss me off.No quests, nothing at the Stage, every website just says he's supposed to be there for some reason.
Nevermind now the quest appeared at the Citadel... OK. Let's try this.
>>539313445It's pure art. In Hollow Knight you start by walking right, but in Silk Song you start by walking left. In Hollow Knight mask shard fill in from top left counter-clockwise, but in Silk Song mask shards fill in bottom right clockwise.it's all so deep and complex, team cherry must have some really talent designers
That flash of horizontal light on the left and right of Hornet on charged attack, is it just visual effect? It does jack shit to damage enemies.
>Hornet hits two fleas during Flea Juggle at the same time>This doesn't count as a double hit, the game will randomly pick one of the two to assign the hit to and you must hit the other a 4th timeThis shit fucked me up so hard, lost so many runs because I was counting the hits and wasn't expecting several of them to simply not count. Why does it work like this? Literal artificial difficulty or simple coding mistake?
>dodging 100 bells>teleports on top of you>diepssh, nothing personal kid
>>539314190How do even encounter that problem, they don't fall at the same time?
Is Wanderer's sprinting attack just bugged? Every time I use it it's a complete coin flip on if I'll clip inside of an enemy and take contact damage.
>>539314405It's not hard to juggle them in a way that they overlap. Jump up to meet them.
Have they nerfed overpowered tools in previous game?
>>539314449Just don't need to jump up. You don't even need to attack up, just used attack normally and it will juggle them just fine.
>>539314503>compass in S-tieryou can tell trannies made this
Like am I suppose to go up or keep going left?
>>539314503>on act 3>still don't have a lot of theseDamn.
>>539314673up
>>539314631Most people suck at navigating samey looking corridors anon.
>>539314503What the hell is that first yellow, I've got all tools and I don't have that icon?
>>539314762tranny detected
>>539314727Where am I suppose to go from here?
>>539314842Didn't know most of the population were trannies, we live in terrible times.
>>539314503The main big nerf was Flukenest and at its peak it was stronger than Poison Cogflies could ever hope to be.
>>539313445>>539314159This but unironically
>>539314503Lucky Dice and Compass, my beloved.
Man, I can't even contrarianpost, this game is just awesome. Literally every boss post Act 1 is a 10/10.
>>539314776Gamers only. A steel-soul mode exclusive.
what do i do in this room, i hear grunting, please helpalso do you guys look down on play time here?i don't struggle that much i just explore a lot, and farm, and just leave the game idle
>>539314673This way. There's a bench after that too. You can see it, but you have to break the wall from out side.
>>539315021Bosses are either 10/10 or pure kino. Last judge, widow, signis and gron, cogwork dancers, et al. Pure I adulterated kino
>>539315098I don't look down on play time (I'm at 40+ hours, Act 2 and I die frequently), but I do acknowledge the skill in beating games fast.
I think the most disappointing boss for me was the Green Prince. I was expecting a great fight since he seemed elegantly menacing at every appearance... And instead, we got an easier Cogwork dancers, AGAIN... What a let down TC, what a missed opportunity. Sad.
>>539315047Can I save scum in your gamer only mode? I'm interested. But how do you do it? Can I alt+f4 while in the death animation or does that not work?
>>539315238each boss was like a rollercoaster of kino... voltvyrm, father flame, broodmother, the unravelled... I'm getting chills just remembering them allpalestag was crazy good too
one more leftshould i just look up a guide?
>>539315454I've heard some people alt+f4, but I'm not sure if it's during the death animation or just when they're low, you'd have to test
>>539315454You can copy the save folder and have a backup.
>>539315238>>539315563For me it's Trobbio
>>539315567Just ask here
>>539314604Jumping up buys you a little more room for error. Regardless, fix your code. I strongly doubt it's meant to work like that, and if it is, you're faggots.
>>539316190It doesn't buy anything. You only need to move left or right and you can hit even even when they are far from you with longnail. Jumping and pointing up are extra inputs and you seem to be struggling with the problems you created for yourself. I do agree that if you hit both it should count though, weird that it doesn't.
>>539315238>Sinner>Lace>Cogwork>2nd Sentinel>Trobbio>Last JudgeThese are unironically the only bosses that I can even really remember fighting. Every other boss blends together into my memory as "big blob that kills you with contact damage and summons adds/stage hazards to make it cringe." Silksong has DS2/ER syndrome of throwing 100 bosses at you but only 10 of them are fun.
Anyone knows if Beast crest hits faster than Hunter's? (When not in fury). I feel it does but I'm not sure.
>>539304702Such beautiful music for the worst area in the game.
That one art of a shota being sandwiched by two women in a train but with Sherma being the shota and the two women being Hornet and Lace.
>>539315567questgiver gives you hints
>>539311470Wanderer crest with longclaw is by far the best.
>>539315098You need to use a thing here. Press and hold the button.
>>539315567Mossberry Stew is probably obvious since there's only one person you meet that talks about Mossberries. (Assuming you met him already)Courier's Rasher... Well, Idk what a rasher is, but I know what a courier is. I also know someone that is one.Vintage Nectar is a special drink it seems. Is there anyone you know that serves drinks? (He's the one in halfway home)Crustnut, I didn't get yet, so Idk, but I'm assuming if you reached the area for it, you might know how to get it already, so maybe you didn't reach or complete that area yet?
how do i know if i found all the fleas? i'm pretty sure i didn't
>no pambanada shop keeper>only some fat bitch with no memorable callouts
So in theory what would you guys consider the perfect Golden Ending, like consider all the optional bosses that you could kill and which quests you could complete or leave incomplete. Are there any instances that come to mind of things that shouldn't be done?
how do i clear this path? i beat the queen silk already, i don't know what to do here, does it involve the fleas?
>Fighting against BroodmotherUsually the boss guide really helps, but this time it's just a literal shit boss. Huddling in the corner hear the ceiling and bombing the shit out of it quickly progresses the fight to the second phase, but then bombs run out...Eventually I got better and is able to progress to Phase 2 without using tools, but then she just not dies. How much HP does she have?!
>>539317262You get the achievement
>>539317295I can say the same about the entirety of NPCs in this game. They are mostly unmemorable beyond the future cult leader shota.
>>539314762>Most people>S-tierSo this shows that the rest of the tools are also "for the most people" and not actually good tools. S tier >Weaver laser gun>Poison pouch or 4 mask heal + defense bell>Hook to sit on the wall>Silkdash or Silkstorm
>>539317352just stay calm, hit the little dudes that come flying, and dodge the slime, then just poggo when she lungesi found that standing under her and wacking and silk storming helps a lot, that said careful she doesn't do the slam on top of you, so stand a bit behind her or get ready to dodge
>>539317262If you don't have the flea map that definitively shows whether you got all the fleas, you didn't. Check the roof of putrified ducts.
I unfortunately was unable to complete Broodfeast before getting to Act 3 and ended up completing Runtfeast instead, does anyone who did Broodfeast before Act 3 know if Huntress survives or not and if not can you still do Runtfeast?
>no *sigh* bapanadashit game
>>539315741Any tips how to fight him?
>>539315238>>539316367Oh yeah, I just remembered Phantom exists. She can go on the fun list as well. Like I said, everything blends together. Game's too big and too exhausting.
>>539316373It does, but evolved hunters does the most DPS out of any crest assuming you don't get hit and lose the focus buff if damage was your goal
>>539317326Above
>>539317352The best tip for Broodmother is actually to stay grounded. If you're close enough and she jumps up to divebomb you, you can dash under. The spit can be avoided with a short movement. The less you move, the easier she is. The less you move, the better positioned you are to spawnkill her kids. The less you move, the less likely you are to corner yourself.
Boss rush mode fucking when?
>>539317612Keep your peripheral vision open. It's hard but try to not get distracted by the visual clutter. Always be chasing after him when he's under the floor. Be closer to him, yes you have to dodge his tornado better but it's the only way to get hits in.
help? i think i made him die.i remember him being alivedid i miss much?
>>539318042Yeah you're locked into the bad ending
>>539318042I too did it, from what I heard to make him survive you must gamble with him until you win his dices (hold for 4 seconds to win, hornet should grunt).
Got to Nameless Town, that was annoying, I'm glad Hiveblood lived on in this game cause I'm just not that good at platforming. Also why was the first part (the section before the first area with the mini-Garpedes) more annoying than the second section (with the flying guys)?
>>539317642No other crest can out-dps wanderer. Not a single one of themReminder that Wanderer also randomly crits for x3 damage
>>539318724>Reminder that Wanderer also randomly crits for x3 damageWhere can I get an info like that? The wiki is shit, game guide don't mention it

>>539318849I got it from a russian youtube video that made a nice breakdown of crests and mechanics, although his crest tier list was very dubious since he didn't like Longclaw Do you know that Witch has iframes on dash attacks?
>>539318903Ok, then I had bad informations, and I don't know if he can survive.
>>539318849>Where can I get an info like that? The wiki is shithttps://www.hollowknight.wiki/w/Wanderer_Crest>When Hornet has 9 or more Silk stored (the same amount needed to Bind), attacks have a 2% chance to deal 3x as much damage. This is indicated by the expanded decoration near the Mask bar.
>>539317731Broodmother basically crawls when she lunges at you, how can you dash under her?
>>539318724>>539318849What exactly triggers the crit? Is it only %based? Or is it like a perfect parry? I swear it has to be something because sometimes I would get the crit before an enemy attack, but I don't know. Why make these things so obscure...
>>539317352>BossguideDo people really
Can someone help me find good screens that have rule34 potential? Stuff from Hollow Knight like the giant Leg Eater enemy is good too. I can't find a non-blurry screen of this moment after you get ALL the charms.
Reminder that Longclaw's range bonus differs from crest to crestFor wanderer it's over 40% range gain
>>539319463How does it differ? Do some crest get more absolute range?
>>539319540Yes. For shaman the difference is ~20% but it's still worth it because you can literally attack from a third of the entire screen away.
>>539319398Savage Beastfly is pretty normal boss if you use a guide.
>>539319272When she first jumps at you - go under, if she then looks back at you - get ready to jump over. Sometimes she does the crawl two times in a row.
>>539319831>needing a guide for a boss that has 2 moves
>>539318849I think equipping the dice actually increases the chances of getting a crit as well. Saved my ass against the true final boss.
Does memory verdania have a map?
How would you guys rank the areas in Silksong for me it's;> SMount Fay> AWhitewardSands of KarakCogworks CoreThe SlabWhispering Vaults> BChoral ChambersShellwoodUnderworksFar FieldsGreymoorHigh Halls> CMemoriumThe CradleThe AbyssDeep DocksThe MarrowMoss GrottoBellhartVerdania> DSinner's RoadBlasted StepsPutrified DuctsWormwaysBilewater
>>539320161>"But you don't understand. Sometimes when he dashes, he dashes above you!"
I liked Hollow Knight so much more than Silksong. I still need to get the Coral King's heart and fight the final boss but I don't want to play Silksong any more.
>>539320819How so? too tedius?
>>539319923>if she then looks back at you - get ready to jump overOh yeah, that really helped. I was making one hit per her lunge (she was doing one), now she does three lunges and I do 6-8 hits.
>>539320756The Marrow is S tier for me and its music track is GOAT.
>>539320756Where's The Mist
I was worried Second Sentinel would be dead because I hadn't seen him anywhere, glad to know he's still going.
>>539315138Thank you daddy.
>>539320819Yeah. I feel HK was more tightly designed than this game. And you got more satisfaction from exploration since all notches were a permanent power spike instead of situational and easy to max charm slots.
>>539321090The Mist is just part of Bilewater, the rooms are even found around Exhaust Organ, this is also why I didn't include Bone Bottom, Coral Tower, Songclave, Weavenest Atla (although that one at least got a different colour). Also The Mist doesn't save Bilewater, it's a cool concept but given it's a one and done thing.
>>539321186Once Lace and Hornet leave in Golden Ending, do you think Second Sentinel and Sherma could rebuild Pharloom?
>>539321281Silksong aside from act 1 is fucking piss easy if you pay attention to your build , pretty much every builds can nuke bosses or trivializes gameplay , except for like reaper(it's for parkour) and beast (who the fuck uses this?)
>>539321429Silksong just feels more tedious. There are huge stretches of the game without any upgrades whatsoever, and late game areas are mostly small and boring.
>>539321420they'll likely start from a small settlement in the corpse of the citadel scavenging off anything remains, so it's not all doom and gloom, most of the infastrcture is still there it's just alot of dead people , like A LOT of dead people.
>>539321090Can you point it on the map? The Mist is not real.
>beat the final boss of the game>look up tiktok>there's a fuck ton of stuff i missed including an act 3i love this game but some of this stuff is way too obscure, i wish there was a helper or in game insead of looking stuff up
>>539321546act 1 grind is fucking miserable , early act 2 is also miserable, it just feel subpar for a 7 years product
>>539321553Here's the thing though, what happens to the Pilgrims once the hauntings over, do they just die or were the ones being controlled by the Void/Silk free? I don't think we ever get a moment like Sly in the game where a character is shown overcoming the infection?
>>539321281>>539321429>>539321546You make me worry. I'm clearing Hollow Knight as fast as I can here because everyone and all my friends are playing Silksong.Think I should actually chill out then than rushing it?
seth is a bit cheap, blocks for days and can't hit him while staggered
>>539321840You will completely burn yourself out if you play them both in rapid succession
>>539321840take your time , don't be rushed the lore is too confusing to be spoilered anyways, at best youll get spoilered by boss designs
>>539321692Depends on how much of a corpse their body is I guess?, bellhart citizen came back because they're still kicking, though I assume majority of the enemies we fought are animated corpses
>>539321329>The Mist is just part of BilewaterWhile The Mist is a part Sinner's Road (not Bilewater, wtf are you on about) on the map, it is considered as it's own area by the game, with the full-screen title and everything. It's like how Memorium is a part of Citadel, and yet you listed it separately.
>>539321952>>539321956Okay!
>>539321420Bellhart will rebuild, but the Citadel is perhaps too big of a job to really remedy given the reduced population of Pharloom.Hallownest at least has that going for it, the City wasn't destroyed, it just needs to be repopulated.And given Lemm and Emilita, people were able to live in the City even up to the end of Hollow Knight.It's not impossible there's a gradual comeback there, especially with Dirtmouth having some activity as well.
>>539305545the sinners road one yea, i thought it was just a troll and it took multiple different instances of hearing there was a way to fix it till i finally dedicated a chhunk of time to exploring all around that area until i finally found the answerthe bilewater one i guess i got lucky as fuck since people are acting like it's even more hidden but it seemed easy to find to me? i'm just so used to hitting every wall/floor/ceiling just in case i guess lol
>>539322213I mean atleast the citadel still stand it will just be a ghost city , it's still stand when it got fucked by void so I don't see why not.
>>539321840Take your time for HK.Silksong is way bigger than HK, and the skill floor is higher, probably because the devs assumed that anyone playing Silksong should be a HK veteran.
>>539322372That only apply for act 1 , after that you get overpowered tools and all
>>539322372Understood
>>539319831I first tried him without a guide.
>>539321329>>539322110Going by shape, location, and color, Exhaust Organ is part of Bilewater, and the Mist is part of Sinner's Road.I agree that Mist could be listed as it's own location. It has a pretty unique gimmick and multiple screens to travel though.
>>539322538Well according to a lot of people here it's still not enough lmao.There is only 3 truly difficult fights : Bilewater gauntlet (movement check), Karmelita (build check) and tue last boss (build check). And even then they all get demolished by poisonous cogfly if you are not idiot and keep your tools for the last phase.
>>539322763I think they're just bad at building their crest , since the game don't tell you the numbers you have to go off by feels or just look up the damage.
>>539322763Wanderer’s crest with Longclaw and the dice is enough to shred most bosses.
>>539322763Alternatively this shit https://files.catbox.moe/kt90r8.mp4
>>539322763>Not doing a needle only run to practice and learn for the inevitable pantheons in 6 monthsngmi
>>539323495pantheons are for autistic people
When is the bench in coral tower? I heard there is a save spot midway
>>539323640Nah you just break a stalagtite to dig through the floor
>>539323640after the third arena you get a shortcut but there's no bench inside>>539322763>lol those cogfly users, they should've used unbreakable strength, mark of pride and quick slash like me!wow, you're so skilled anon...
>>539323754I think he just said that people are somehow losing even with cogfly.Does anyone ever test 4poison cogfly dps vs normal cogfly dps , doesn't poison lower the damage?
>>539323747>>539323754thanks!
>>539320756Memoriam is S++
There's a straightforward way I can get there, right?
>>539323565That's me
>>539324192Here's a tip : explore hunter's march
>>539324192If I remember correctly hunters march
>>539324387>>539324420Does it have anything to do with the statue? It sticks out.
>>539324534No
>>539324869That's dumb.
This is the most bullshit boss in game? What crest do you used to beat her?
So I have>found all 3 melodies>finished every wish I could find>have 4/5 meal ingredients>found the flea cave, but not talked to the caravan yetWhat should I do now? Thinking of going up the Citadel and finishing the "final" boss.
>>539323858No, poison only adds damage. It’s only ever a damage improvement.
>>539324953Cogflies did the most job when she gets totally insane and crazy phase 3. I'm not looking forward beating that hitless for the pantheons. Jesus.
>>539325048I can't survive to that phase. This spin attack in a killer. She have same pose for throw attack and THAT spin attack.
I did it bwos!Now time to wait for 7 years for the godhome dlc!
>coral tower 1st tryAm I getting better at the game or it's really easy? I sucked at gauntlets the entire game before.
Don't give me any spoilers, but I'm about to enter act3, so I was wondering how big is it? In terms of content.
>>539325380I'm now on "Singing Bug" boss and it's insane difficulty boss. Act 3 are not that big. But I think Bosses there are brutal.
>>539325257>35 hoursYou’re not done yet.
>>539325217Dash away/run from her when she attacks, most of the time it's enough
>>539324953reaper so i don't have to kiss her and be exposed to counters for the first two phases, tacks cogflies, climbing the wall and praying for the last phase
>>539324869it's near the statue
>>539325514yeah still need to do hunter's manual and maybe get the infected ending which I missed
>>539324192This shit is so retarded. How did people figure this on their own?
>>539325380It's 4 bosses + the ending, but there's 4 new fragments to collect, another pale oil and the map changes a bit and becomes more dangerous so it'll take you ~4 hours
>>539325631I remembered there was a super jump spot near the statue because I marked it and went to check it out in act 3. This one is less bullshit then some others honestly.
I can't harpoon this second bug for the life of me. Its fucking over.
>>539325631grapple has this problem too, you didn't know and didn't pin those rings because you didn't know they meant anythinghunters march being 100% useless until act 3 if you don't want the worst crest or the merchant is completely bullshit, everyone goes there it's right next to the starting area, what a fucking waste of time
>>539325032Get that last meal ingredient to get the pale oil. You’ll need it for act 3.
>>539326043I can't get to act 3 unless I take the quest form the shrine guy, right?
>>539325837I don't remember the specific layout but did you get to that flat area on the right that leads back into the mountain?
>>539326445Yes, you're looking for a quest called "Silk & Soul"
>>539325837Don't try to jump after using harpoon. You bounce up automatically.
What crest are you using? I'm back on hunter after reaper (which is probably the natural progression for most players) but I just got architect and I'm intrigued.
>Wake up thinking about LaceI hate it here.
>>539324953I used Shaman and it was a fucking mistake because it forcibly grounds you when healing. If I'd just swapped to Longnail Reaper I probably would have beaten her quickly. Tacks probably rack up damage on her fast too.
>>539325217She jumps up in the spinny pose when she's going to do the W boomerang throw, the jumps up like a normal person when she's going to sonic spin dash at you.
>>539327795What's wrong, Anon?
>>539328001Stupid smug princess..
I love flying enemies. It's great that my weapon has a 2 pixel range and they have next to 0 hitbox. Really fun
>>539324953hunterany crest will work as long as you GIT GUD like hornet saysphase 3 speed is the hardest part of the fight
>>539328139Use the Clawline
so what exactly is Lace, is she quite literally all silk or is she some reanimated corpse that's existence is fuelled by silk?
>>539328754she is fully made of silk by Mother Silk, you can read her journal entry
>>539328754Silk can store soul energy, Lace is made out of so much silk that all the soul energy actually creates a real bug bean.
Few tries and I already dislike the final boss.
>completely annihilated the foremost brothers by being hyper aggressive with wanderer and thread stormthat was based
Do I need to save silk eaters for anything special or are they safe to use when I want to save myself some pain?
>>539329301funny thing, hornet says in her journal about enemies in cogworks that they act suspiciously alive, in ways too complex to be fully machine, and one detail you can find as you destroy them is that the white butterflies appear and fly away from the corpsesI don't know what those butterflies are, but they seem to be a source of life, Lace may be made of slik but given life through one of those butterflies
>>539329727you'll eventually find an npc that gives you silkeaters for free, time-based refresh, just consume them no problemms
>>539329670>wandereryou didn't beat the game
>>539330394why yes i haven't yet
ive used reaper for the entire game it may not be the best or most fancy crest but it works for me :)
No spoilers, please.Did I fuck myself, using the Bone Bottom simple key on Wormways instead of Deep Docks?
>>539330853No.
what you've heard is correct, im not installing the patch until i beat the game. who wants to touch me?
>>539330921Thank you so much.
>>539330853there are enough keys for all doors
Sands of Karak platforming is like Mountain on cancer steroids. Was it too hard to throw in a couple more benches?
>>539329468This is really unfun...
>>539331423if you've done the mountain then karak should be easier
bah. need to go do some shard farming since i want to try out architect
>>539331423Karak is significantly easier.I mean, you ARE using reaper for your platforming right anon?
Lost Lace is difficult but her teleport move is dogshit.she can do it at any time and there is no indication at all of where she'll teleport to, at least nothing that i can tell.so i kept getting hit when i just dash and she appears in front of me.really takes out the fun from the fight.
>>539331423What're you talking about Anon? You do half of Karak then there's a bench, then you do the other half, it's not that long, imagine if Sands of Karak was as big as Bilewater.
>bellhart is asking me for money again after i already gave themthis is a scam
What do I even spend these on?
>>539333071rosary cannon
>>539333071your rosary cannon?
>>539333159>>539333162Is it actually good or am I making myself a sitting duck?
I only just started playing and I'm not in the reddit community, so what's the deal with all the spider memes and gifs?Is it because she makes silk?
>>539333336hornet is a spider anon, well half spider.
>>539333336its because shes a spider.. quit goofing around dude
>>539333336that's a real animation in the game, a charm that lets you backstepand she's canonically a spider, a half-Weaver
>Is spider>Cannot cling to walls without an upgrade>Cannot remain stationary while clinging without tool use>Will never snuggle with you in a giant web above the cityPretty shit spider.
>>539333529I'm sincere, her name is Hornet and she fights with a needle (stinger). It's a little confusing. I wasnt jerking off over the lore for 9 years in dev so cut me a little slack. >>539333445>>539333778ty anon
wow shaman crest is dogshit. longest bind animation, forced to the ground and slow ass attacks.
>>539332385as far as i know she can't teleport directly under or in your proximity, but i don't know how large that proximity is. in all my attempts she spawned on the edges of the screen that executed her next move there. maybe try standing still whenever you're not dodging anything or trying to hit her.
>>539333250I imagine it's good against bosses with a bunch of downtime waiting for a window like the coral castle onebut I forgot to upgrade it before act 3 and now I'm at the final boss so I don't know
>>539333159>>539333162>The reload is STILL bugged on KBMI have never used this tool as a result
>>539334468you need to sit on a bench to manually reload it in the inventory, it can't auto reload. architect doesn't reload it
Did they purposely make the runback to Last Judge the most annoying runback ever? Pesky unavoidable enemies that interrupt your platforming who fly around and dodge you? I'm not one to complain about runbacks but this is clearly designed specifically to be annoying.
>>539329761Lace is also playing with the white soul butterflies when you first meet her in the deep docks. I have half a mind to believe Lace actually sent the butterfly to release Hornet from her cage in the intro video.
>>539334729I know, the button is still greyed out and unresponsive when sitting just like it was prepatch
>>539334963it gets worse
>>539335176werks on my machine
>>539329909I'm on Act 2, he's gone :(. Only the morsel is there. Is he dead, or just away, hunting?
it actually really sours my act 3 experience just how many minion stages every boss seems to have. It's not even difficult, it's just time wasting
>>539335465hunting, he'll be back
>First Sinner>Second Sentinel>???>Fourth Chorus
Nyleth is pure cancer without tools. Good thing I remembered to use the knives I had on me.
so v jannies are autosaging the comfy threads now?
>>539322353the architect flat out tells you that the citadel requires her to keep functioning, and that the ability to make new architects was lost to historyand she fucking dies citadel is fucked
>>539333778>a charm that lets you backstepI wish there was a way to just crouch (while standing, or running in non-reversed direction), Hornet is just too tall. Too many massive flying/jumping enemies which hit if you're underneath, AND hit if you try to jump.
>>539319443
>go through hell to reach the end of the path>find a "diving bell">can't use it for whatever reason>no upgrades>no toolsfuck you
I hate Lace holy shit. What is that third phase with black shit all over the screen? Why the fuck is her counter teleporting to you even though you evaded her sword completely?
>>539325631>to reach the ant boss you need to explore the ant zone>WTF WHO WOULD KNOW THAT???These threads are getting dumber
Lost track of how many times I died at this point as I tried to explore how to go higher. Am I supposed to pogo off the guy in front of me? Is that the only way?>>539330853I don't think this is much a spoiler but, you can go through Far Fields and end up on the otherside of the Deep Docks' door, so you don't really even need that key, except for convenience.>>539331423I gave up and took a break from it. Decided to try my luck in Bilewater instead.
>>539335827Just clawline and pogo a few times and bail. The real comfort tool is the wallcling. Fun fight.>>539335867>you cant talk about video games over time, that counts as a general!>meanwhile there is a general up 24/7 for AI artWhy even go to that dogshit board lol
>>539336481>Why even go to that dogshit board lol5x the traffic of vg
isn't it cool how you can hit a boss and then you don't do any damage to them
>>539336749happened to me with seth but when I started recording it never happened againthe swing was sticking out his back
Submitting Broodmother's eye to the Songclave, I sure hope it won't be fucking destroyed by the second Broodmother appearing out of fucking nowhere for no reason.
I'm in the endgame and missing 2 mask shards. Is there an obvious location that opened up where they would be or is this gonna be a huge pain in the ass that will require me to comb the whole map
>>539337074the slab is on the opposite end of the map as songclave
>>539334963it gets better (you start to enjoy it)
this has to be a joke right
>>539336640And? My toilet can hold more water than my sink, you going to drink out of it?
>>539337134there's two that need super jump in mt fay and blasted steps and two from quests in bellhart>>539336640yeah in porn threads
>>539337365Its not even that bad
>using toolsyou didn't beat the game
>>539337553Are there also two spools that need super jump?
>>539334034>I'm sincere, her name is Hornet and she fights with a needle (stinger). It's a little confusing.Her mother sent her off to the bees to be taught how to fight. If you didn't play the first game then I can see why you'd be confused.
>>539325631a whole fucking statue room with a open ceiling and nothing to do isn't suspicious in the least?I put a marker on that immediately and remembered when I got the skill
>>539338001there's so many spools I gave up in finding all of them even with a map, the amount I have right now is fine
>>539335827I just sat on the opposite wall and threadstormed her every time she swapped sides. Three hearts + Weavelight means you regenerate enough silk for a skill over time.
>>539334034>with a needle (stinger)It's a sewing needle, not an injector needle. Might as well compare stinger to nail.
>>539337679are you joking? both the runback and the boss gauntlet is fucking terrible
>>539337365did you get the thing that makes you immune to maggot water?
>>539338001no, I got all of them in act 2use the interactive map in the op, you can make show only the spools if you don't want too many spoilers
>>539338193Nah its really not that bad, the hardest part is the random enemy placement along the way but its easy to build up silk. Especially if you have Wreath of Purity.
What does Eva say about the void shits infesting the weavenest? I've already consumed her before entering Act 3.
>>539334963https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhHusVtFsCo
>>539338204no? fuck
>>539334963I eventually learned to run past them. Also there's one shortcut that allows you to avoid one of the Judges.
>>539338310how'd you do that?
>>539338485it's in a completely different area reached through a path that isn't anywhere close to bilewater AND a lategame area on top, like half the people will have already finished bilewater by the time they get it, pretty good fuck you
>>539338517>>539338450(Spoiler)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf_9gMh1s4k>>539338204XD
>>539337553You can get the blasted steps one (near the exit to Pharloom, if thats the one you mean) with just double jump
>>539338594Its right next to Bilewater
>>539338564You need all crests fully unlocked except shaman
>>539338832the only way to enter it from bilewater is to beat the boss of bilewater which means you already completed it
This fat lady boss who shits green and throws her ass at you in this tiny ass room is really getting annoying.
>>539338564You need to come to her after using 18 memory lockets, and maybe having all silk hearts.
>>539335949made for spooning
>>539338594actually really funny that you unlock one of the entrances by beating groalbut that's what you get by not exploring the citadel more and doing groal before you have the silk and song wish
>>539338892wait you don't need shaman unlocked for it?I had to hunt the last 2 memory lockets because I still needed to unlock beast because seriously, who the fuck uses beast
something something dumb dlc idea
>>539338598GOD-FUCKING-DAMMIT I entered Act 2 via The Mist area. I thought the gate was locked? I'm pretty sure it was locked.I hope it's an edit.
>>539339134stop, i already love hornet, theres no need to go this far
lmao
>>539339047>but that's what you get by not exploring the citadel moreCitadel is the Main Quest location. Obviously you explore all areas away from Citadel first
>>539339220skill issue. i fought almost exclusively by pogoing and smacking him in the grundle from below
>>539339171Bro, the game almost literally tells you to find every giant bell in Act 1 and pull the levers to unlock it.
>>539338643yeah buy you need extra speed and you'll be left with 9 + 1/4 masks at the end of act 2 anyway, won't make a difference if you just go back there with super jump
>>539339220Use Ascendant's Grip.
>>539339378After I played Needolin from Blasted Steps side the gate did not open, so I assumed I needed to beat The Last Judge to get it to open.
>>539339305No, you rush the main quest to unlock all movement abilities so you won't have to revisit every side area seventeen times.
>>539339134Holy fuck what a pure sex
>>539339617There are bells above the door corresponding to every bell bench and the pilgrims tell you that they all need to be rung before the needolin can be played.
>>539339629I thought people die if you progress to Act 2 without completing their quests? I heard that Bone Bottom shopkeeper disappears before you get to buy everything, for example.
>>539339220this is unironically the worst fight in the game
>>539339134Going off the bad end cutscene she wouldnt have a dress and be naked
>>539339770I already rung them before even reaching that door. The Last Judge does not even appear if you do not ring them.
>>539327795got lace on the brain…
>>539339949Then the door opens when you kill the Last Judge.
>>539339836Stop gimping yourself by playing agressive with tools. You can sit in the corner and easily avoid everything, just pogo him when he pops up and repeat
>>539338951I destroyed her ass with traps.
>>539339812I think you can buy all the items from the thief later.
>>539340191fuck off retard his hitbox is massivehalf the time I try pogoing onto him I hurt myself
>>539339812Also you never learn the name of the "Little Pilgrim" if you rush. Though I dunno if Bone Bottom's progression is tied to weaver/cape unlocks or to their specific questline.>>539340191Some tools have too much SFX, they fill the screen with visual noise, to the point where you miss Boss' visual cues.
>>539340409That’s a skill issue sis
AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>539336363Bump.>>539338951Once the boluses are up, go under it and approach her. Should be able to get a hit in. They can be easy to dodge if you stay calm when they are in the air.The scary thing is her budonkadonk. It can be hard to dodge it when she throw her ass at you when you're too close. Do NOT imagine the smell.My fight if it helps: https://files.catbox.moe/jm9otf.mkv(No red tools, no R1/RB skills)
2 hours for lost lace... I'm so tired but it's finally done. Boss not so bad after learning it for a while but still annoying.
>>539340739Is your Lace lost? Well, you better go find her!
I need a break from hunter. What crest are you guys having fun with?
>>539341315Wanderer.
>>539341315reaper is good if you love to pogowanderer if you have longclaw
>>539341315Take the Shaman pill
I like how Hornet can keep yelling outside of Yarnaby's home despite him telling her repeatedly to fuck off. Seems very unlike her to be such a pest.
>>539339836repost, but I mean, if you're gonna use tools then use them right
>>539331750>you ARE using reaper for your platforming right anon?nta, but I'm using Hunter for platforming. Reaper is just too annoyingly slow.I use Reaper and Wanderer only for specific bosses. I never use Beast.
>>539337553Alright thanks to you I got the one on Mt Fay. But somehow I got the Steps one much earlier without super jump. My last one was actually the third race.
>>539341689She's pretty much in everyone's business. Either from checking the help boards repeatedly, or entering peoples homes unannounced. Not like people are strong enough to force her to leave. So far only the old people have told her to gtfo.>>539342113>Reaper is just too annoyingly slow.Same, though I use hunter for everything 'cause I can't be bothered to learn more than one crest.
>>539342113I think reaper would be my favorite by far if it actually did more damage to balance its low speed
>>539341689Which quests would she refuse if she was in-character? I think she goes through character development in Silksong, tho, so the answer would gradually change as you progress.Tsundere-vs-tsundere interaction when you free the green prince is pretty funny
>>539341689I really like her voiceline when calling YarnabyNAO~, I spent like a minute repeatedly calling her
>>539341372I might try that.>>539341426I gave up on it and went back to hunter after it started feeling slow.>>539341581Only have up to architect so far.
>>539341581Shaman is so good, but you get it when theres like 5% of the game left.
>wait for act 3 to do First Sinner>tfw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_8gPXiZBHoman, I fucking wish
Injector Band + Multibinder is such a life-changer. Much better than Warding Bell + Multibinder.
>>539343959is injector + multibinder really better than just regular injector?feels like injector lets you get a heal in between boss attacks on faster bosses
>>539335949god DAMN… would
>>539343959I usually just heal when the boss is in a cool down or busy. Kinda makes Injector Band and Warding Bell obsolete for me. Multibinder sounds nice, but Idk if +1 mask is worth it for 1 tool space, or two spaces since I'd probably need Injector Band for it.
Oh huh, I thought there was going to be another boss after Lost Lace, she is a bit disappointing as a secret final boss compared to The Radiance given that it's like 60% the regular Lace moveset
>>539339134shade lord is a higher being among higher beings aint nothing topping that
>>539338993Luv the big spooning
uh, kino?
>>539304597Just beat beast chapel, who the fuck playtested this?
Lost Lace is so fucking kino
>>539346358a bunch of coping 4channers, weird that you're the only one with an issue
I just entered act 3 and I wanna ask where are the new bosses?Going to the abyss leads me to fighting the final boss and ending, are the act 3 bosses post-"final boss"?
>>539346637Plenty of people here have been seething about the game being unfair which is very funny.
>>539346732the one you might miss is a completely optional boss hidden away in sands of karrakno not that boss in sands, and not that one either, a third one
>>539346732You escape the abyss and fight new bosses before going back.
So what do I need to do to avoid getting green gay balls hung in my bellhome?
>>539305545what the fuck secret bench. i keep hearing about this shit. Are there more than two benches in bilewater?
>>539305671Same, but now I gotta find that bench.
On act 2, I'm totally lost. Just beat Trobbio. Any idea where to go?
>>539343959Warding Bell is such a crutch, just dont get hit stupid!
>>539349069If you beat Trobbio you should have access to the bottom right melody and a new movement ability, snoop around down there to the right of his arena.
>>539349069You think objectives markers are just for show?
>>539349356>>539349909Sorry anons, I know I'm retarded. There's a box in my way that I can't get past in order to further down in the Vaults. I have no idea how to get behind it to move it.
>>539346230based
>>539350421Nta, but it looks like that box would have to be hit from the other side.
>>539350604Yeah that's what I'm saying, I can't get to the other side, I have no idea how.
>>539350421>>539350604 (me)>no idea how to get behind itNvm. I'm illiterate.
>>539347430The quest will accept 3 of the 4 hearts (karmelita, nyleth, khann, green prince)If you have 4 of them, it will accept the map marked ones (karmelita, nyleth, khann) leaving you with the green ballsIf you want a different memento, leave one of nyleth/karmelita/khann until later
>>539350636I'd tell you how, but I can't be Trobbio.
>>539350832>can’t be TrobbioWhy are we being Trobbio?
>>539351291tfw you will never be Trobbio
>>539351291>>539350832beat*
you're trobbio hes trobbio hes trobbio! IM TROBBIO! are there any other trobbios i should know about???
>>539336363You can ascend through there no problem using just jumps and the clawline.Regen and cogflies makes bilewater super easy mode though if you don't feel like dealing with most of the places bullshit.
I somehow found the bilewater second bench before the boss. You guys will think I cheated and looked a map probably
>>539350421Try beating Trobbio.
how the fuck do you get back in this room
>>539352432
This fat nigger is on my FUCKING BENCH
>>539353040play some music
>>539353040smack his ass and he'll fly away
>>539353040typical dog behavior
please dont make me go there
>>539352647Nah the right side of that green line is one-way in the other direction. I had to go left of the bench then drop down the vertical room.
>>539353320it's in a hidden area with difficult platforming by bilewater standards, I'm sorry anon
>you redo the waves in the coral towerjust fuck my shit up
>>539353634Just do 3 of them
>>539353320you can have it easy if you go through petrified ducts and bilehaven all the way to the right
Best setup to beat the second drillfly?
>>539354419the attack buff tool to kill the small drillflies and that's it really, not that bad to dodge
I don't get it, what's the logic with "I remember a flower that can combat the void- shamans that fucked this shit up, please draw out my memories and somehow manifest this flower for me to use", how the hell does this make sense?is it not easier to just teleport away to Hallownest and take the flower, and also how does a manifestation of a memory work as the real thing? doesn't that mean they have the power to duplicate anything they saw?
>>539354419architect's charge attack was all I used, it does crazy damageI didn't even use tools on the tool-focused crest
>>539351986Not that spot. This one.
>>539336363yeah, I usually pogo him, but you can try the hookshot
>>539353634after wave 3 you can unlock a shortcutcoral tower boss is also the easiest boss in the game, makes even fourth chorus look hard
The flea minigame has made me more mad than any boss in this game. Flea bounce is easy, but I lost flea dodge at 62 seconds and now I can't get past the 40s.
>>539355619It's rng, you'll get it eventually. I struggled with it a lot yesterday too.
>>539355619use your harpoon a lotremember getting hit doesn't mean death you can still get back to the platform
I, unexpectedly got cursed. I'd remove it, but I see there's an achievement for it. Is there a way to get it back if I remove it? Is it recommended to stay cursed for the achievement? How far in is the boss I have to beat for the achievement? I'm in Act 2 right now. Still have to get two more of the 3 songs, and another pale oil from the foodie. Also still have to do Bilewater.
>Cogwotk dancersNow that was kino, especially the 4th phase
>>539355002Are you asking us to explain the logistics of sorcery to youThe everbloom isnt from Hollownest anyways, its from the Grey Mourner's land.>>539355619Dodge is fun though.>>539355857You need to beat the game with it, so you are a fair bit away. You cant get it back if you remove it. High Halls may break you but its definitely possible.
>>539354419Nevermind, he's dead./
Anyone else kinda feel sad when they find an area later than they were supposed to and the movement options you already have (especially double jump) completely trivialize what would have been fun platforming?
How do I get into Coral Tower? Act 3?And what did he mean by this? Pale King?
>>539356028High Halls already broke me. I got to the last wave with no red tools or skills, but that last wave is BS. I can get Shakra to help me in it though.I can do without tools, but to beat the game without healing... Maybe on a future run. I don't think I'm that good to do it like this.Thanks.
Why does hornet hate gay people so much?
>>539356479yeah you'll get a new needolin song to invade minds in act 3and it's probably silk
>>539356502Because she is based
>>539355002It's magic, there's no logic to it.At least it's magic with a pretty significant cost (to prevent it being a fix all solution) that required the death of at least 5 people to achieve and possibly the intervention of the White Lady.All that just to put a flower in Hornet's hand.
this game lets you go fast but doesn't actually want to use any of the tools that let you go fast. i just the final boss and if i try to chase it it teleports away and sometimes into me so the best course is to play very passively. maybe im using the strategy though
>>539356502YER IN ONE
>>539356479The main antagonist is a Pale Being like the Pale King and the White Lady.
>>539357264None of the pale beings did anything wrong.
>>539356502She's jealous
>>539357217I think there is a sweet spot where you can go pretty fast and get into a sort of rhythm with latter bosses but you're right, the game completely disincentivizes too mush dashing and sprinting. It's even worse because you aren't even guaranteed to actually hit the boss cause they're doing some retarded parry.
>>539357217You can do some insane speedrun strats in this game and play very aggressively with parry and clawline.
>>539357990>with parrythis supports their point
>>539305767>My reflexes are bad so I'm gonna go back to not training themYou're probably bad at strategy games too
>>539313323The cocoon thing might just be a gameplay mechanicBut she seems to inherited a very long lifespan from the Pale King
My playthrough ended at under 75 hours. I think it's because I fucked around too much and tried going to everything and still somehow missed 12% of game content.
>>539358152You can parry contact damage dude
>>539315563>the unravelledI liked his ambianceI didn't like his fat ass taking up a third of the arena and Hornet's fat head slamming into his ass
>>539353114>>539353141carrot vs stick
>>539357686She's into humans.
>>539358705She wants to fuck the big flea
>>539358309your momentum/damage being based on enemy attacks supports the whole "you don't do anything until the enemy does something" argument
>>539358872she wants to hug and pat fluffy things
>>539359112>enemy attacks>contact damageBro please read
>>539357217https://youtu.be/QH-Oblh1yRI?si=haMJaQlS_0wqENiPAny% is almost down to an hour
>>539359250I think you're the one who doesn't understand. Why would you need to parry contact damage if the enemy isn't doing anything? You only parry contact damage... if they're doing something.
>>539359630>moving into an enemy is an enemy attackOkay bro
>>539359715why the fuck would you just move into an enemies model just to... parry?
>>539359865To deal aoe damage
I know there is a hole up here, but I can't get to it.LET ME IIIIN
>>539359987I think theres a flea and thats it
>>539359943why would you do this over just HITTING them with your nail? Very interested in your response
>>539359987act 3 optional fight
>>539356479I keep forgetting to needolin dead bodies. I keep forgetting I have it in general because of how shit it is.
>>539360189To deal more damage, especially in arenas with multiple enemies. You can literally see this used in Act 2 speedrun strats since going through Phantom is the faster route.
did they reuse assets from hk for the void or is it all new?
>>539360383>especially in arenas with multiple enemieslol ok yeah dude, you got me. That's surely what we're talking about here.
>>539360650I think you lost the plot dude, sorry. Hope you get the hang of the combat someday.
>>539355318Yeah, same thing there. It's just that first big jump over to the right you need a pretty high peak on for the clawline, so a bit tricky to do consistently. The rest of the jumps are pretty standard.I know you could just clawline the big fuckers, but I don't care for them.
am i not supposed to last hit enemies with different tools to get hunter quest organs? why is it not dropping?
>>539361369You last hit them yes. You might be using the wrong tools.>Longpin>Architect Charge attack>Flintblade toolThats what I used
>>539361559weird, the first short pin did not work for me, thanks.
>>539361369you only need to hit them with the correct tools once, doesn't have to be last blow
>>539361937i see, thanks.
>be Hornet>seek union with mate>accidentally kill and eat them after sex>it keeps happening!Bug life.
Karmelita makes me feel like Charlie Kirk's neck
>>539361024I didn't know there was a wall there at 00:13, and couldn't really look around due to being in the air, and having 2 - 4 damage throw-up on me.Thanks for the vid.
>>539357686Hornet's wife
On my 2nd playthrough I'll use the Hunter crest only (no healing except for benches) and try to stick as close to enemies as possible. Maybe I'll learn something.
>>539362716Might as well just play as cursed. Get the achievement while you're at it.
I hate that 80% of my damage taken against Phantom is just it randomly deciding to jump into me.
>>539362582Can't even imagine the life of luxury those parasites must live with an ass like that.
>>539362972Did you jump as well? Or is she randomly jumping and landing onto you?
>>539362972Thats how nearly every Hollow Knight boss has always worked
>>539362125worth.>>539362582that should be me.
>>539363152Always up into me. Guess it doesn't matter, my trick for beating a boss in the next three tries worked like a charm.Whining about the boss on here.
>>539344306>>539345307Multibinder by itself (without Warding Bell/Injector Band) is good for regular levels, especially new unexplored levels. Silk is often scarce, additional mask really saves you. And longer time does not matter, you can just hide outside of mobs' aggro area.
Phantom is training for Lace later: you're supposed to basically stand as still as possible and let her dash into you. Tiny movements are the name of the game. You basically never have to do more than C dash or jump straight up ever.
>>539363860I was gonna give advice, but no need since your strat works and is reliable.>>539364041I use Weavelight and/or Druid's Eye instead of Multibinder.
>>539363860>spoilerworks every single time, for every single game
Is Greyroot the only other root being that we meet in the HK universe other than the White Lady?
>>539364309>WeavelightKinda useless without three Silk Hearts, no? I use it only on harpoon-heavy sections.>Druid's EyeI just got an upgraded version, but didn't use it yet. Might be good for silk skills.
Is Gilly dead in Act 3? I found her doll in the hunter's room
Last judge runback is fucking criminal
Does anyone know what this is on my save file? I just noticed it today
>>539365157It got nerfed. And it already was not a big deal at all pre-nerf.Work on your movement anon. It takes less than 30s and you can avoid every enemies.
>>539365035I still found her in act 3, you have a whole conversation after killing Karmelita about how the Far Fields will wither away without her.
now just following a walkthrough to get my 100% and lol this memory locket location, ok TC
>>539365398Okay thats good. I didnt want her to die.
>>539365389I don't care i can get there as fast as you can fine without damage. Still doesnt change the fact its aids and takes fucking ages. Im bored
>>539365398Bros why she is so beautiful
>>539364132Guess I'm gonna be fucked for Lace then because I spent every second of the Phantom fight dashing and pogoing like a psycho.
>>539365729One of Hornet's many wives
>>539365157>>539338450>>539365389What changed?
>>539366318They removed one coral fly that you could easily avoid anyways. Also the sandworms used to deal 2 damage, not 1.
>>539305545I didn't find Sinner's Road bench fix until I was at about 95% completion, or the hidden Bilewater one until after I killed the frogBilewater runback from bellbug station ain't shit.
>>539365847Lace 2 is one of the most fun fights in the game. The duels against similarly sized opponents are awesome. On one hand, I'm glad they didn't add too many of them, it might have gotten played out. On the other hand, I want more of them.
Just finished the game and I have to say it's immaculately made with more things to discover than any metroidvania I've played, but fuck if the game just has so many frustrating elements and lack of qol that doesn't respect your timeThe runbacks aren't fun and the industry has moved on from itThere are way too many flying enemies that like to backpedal, some that even input read and dodge back. I want to fight things not play chase in every hallwayLThere aren't enough fast travel points, and having to go to the Bellway every time to transfer to the other fast travel wastes so much timeShards shouldn't be a thing and you should just refill your tools at the bench without having to deal with them. You can quickly farm rosaries for shard bundles to make this cost negligible, but farming is simply not funToo many kill X enemies or fetch questsCharge attack felt useless as it doesn't do enough damage, takes too long to charge without the faster charging tool, and it doesn't even fill up any silk. May as well just attack 2-3 times
Kinda wish they expanded on the Weavenest Atla aesthetic, all the other Weavenests except that running one are basically destroyed. It would've been neat to see a larger area with all this silktech. It's also interesting that the Weavers of Pharloom are like... INCREDIBLY advanced compared to the Spiders of Hallownest. The Hallownest Spiders are tribal beasts, Pharloom Weavers are straight up aliens with silk-based AI
>>539366389>Also the sandworms used to deal 2 damage, not 1.Awww shucks, time to up date. I think it's cool that they do 2 damage (I've watched as they ate corpses; they rip it up like paranas), but that 1 damage will make my attempt into Sand of [forgot name] easier now.>>539366673>Bilewater runback from bellbug station ain't shit.Good work, Anon.I've died on the Bilewater station run back at least 7 times now. I also haven't even reached that boss yet.
I think last judge is where I quit. I just can't be bothered with this runback to die in 30 seconds to try and learn the pattern.
>>539366909charge attack not filling up silk is baffling
>>539366886sex with lace
>>539366909>Charge attack felt useless as it doesn't do enough damageDepends on the crest, but yeah I mostly agree. The architect charge attack is crazy good, potentially quad damage and a massive lingering hitbox
>>539367096that goes without saying
>>539367051Bye bitch!
>>539367051>the shitters are finally getting weeded out for goodand a great peace has begun to settle upon the threads.
You sick fucks are talking about fucking insects. Literal bugs.
>>539367435>>539367249soulslike fags. I'd say enjoy your dead game but inertia will keep this retard shit alive.
>>539367448bugs are for fugs. it's the simple truth. just fucking LOOK at her. also, she's not really a bug
>>539367514>e-enjoy your dead game!Silksong is getting incredible reviews and sales, meanwhile you're seething because you lack skill.
>>539367435laughing at the people who die is the only interesting thing going for these threads
finally completed the game.among all the bosses, groal killed me the most somehow. took me 5 fucking hours to kill him. at some point i was thinking to just go back and fight him later but i decided to keep throwing myself into the wall.even karmelita and lost lace didn't take that long.
>>539367772Yes. People did the same thing for souls games. Because gamers are retards who eat up AAA games and then review bomb them 15 minutes later when they don't run. Over and over again.You didn't make the flex you think you did.
imagine being bad at videogames
>>539367902>he's in a general seething about a game he doesnt have the skill to beatLMAOOOOOOOOOO
>>539367147Architect is just too strong. It can already win every fight in the game so long as you have money. Projectile spam and the fact that you can inject more HP at and time with plasmium shots breaks pretty much every encounter
Witch Crest is actually sweet with all the binding tools. I can just walk up right to a boss, heal a billion masks, and do like 5 hits with the bind + mirror tool
>>539368020i have the skill. What I don't have is the interest to waste time running to a boss over and over. Maybe you just have more free time?
What's the funnest crest?
>>539367802I'm enjoying the Laceposting
>>539368120>I c-can totally do it!So go beat the Last Judge. Oh wait, YOU CANT LOL
>>539368076>Architect is just too strongit's basically cheating. It allows anyone to brute force a boss by farming.>>539368161I really like Shaman Crest but there is not really a lot of use cases for three different silk skills. Being a ranged build with Longclaw is kinda neat though and you can pogo insanely high. I've been liking Witch Crest a lot right now and it sucks you get it so late into the game.
>>539368168soft..
>>539368161unironically beast.
>>539368161Shaman, love me big electric spells and sword beams.Architect has the coolest charge attack though
>that one nuke throwing fag in lower deep rock that you cant run around to retry the gauntlet quickly because he always back off at the exact place you need to throw the harpoonGod I hate those bastards with a passion, genuinely feel like im being griefed whenever flying enemies show up, its like their AI is made to be the most obnoxious pricks possible at any moment. Like the bastard has a whole screen to move around but he gotta camp the one freaking spot I need to paas by.
>>539367051Are you using the "shortcut" and did you update the game? The runback form L.Judge filtered me too, but after learning the fast way it was more tolerable. Yeah, like you, the battle was shorter than the runback for me, or at least feels like it, and absolutely sucks and is boring, but you can maybe do it. If you do, you'll reach the next part of the game. Not saying things will be better, but you'll get to see so much more!
I thought the Last Judge fight was good
Bug yuri...>>539369089It was good. This game has a lot of good fights.
Everytime I go to an official game reddit I'm reminded why I never go to reddit.
>>539369089I feel L.J's wind-up for the spinny move is too short/fast.
>>539368161I second the guy who said beast but it's a crest that takes a bit of practice to become fun
>>539369245
>>539369334Ehh at least they post a lot of cute art. Frankly these threads are basically reddit, they're filled with people who suck and people asking dumb questions.
>People bitching about the game is hard>Some bosses and area need trial and error>Just be patient>Almost done 100%I don't get what's so hard about this. I even dealt with Splinter and Beastfly before nerf.
>>539369587I was mostly referring to these unfunny "silkpost". No problem against fanart it's based.
>>539369441that's just greed talking. of course you're going to get punished for standing next to the boss like a retard. what, do you want to be able to get 10 hits in before the boss realizes what is going on?
>>539369653Many people are trying to facetank stuff while mashing attack because it worked on most HK bosses.
>>539369653Splinter was easy as shit. I assume it's easier now. The problem is the game is full of bullshit tedium.
I fucking hate Lost Lace and her fat ass teleporting into me every time I try to get a breather or dodge out of the stupid void bullshit in p2. I have to go for SECOND shard refill at this rate. Its not even matter of dodging her attacks as much its avoiding her dumptruck.
>>539369653I don't even know why they nerfed these 2 lmao. Beastfly has a gigantic hitbox but the fight is really simple, he has 2 attacks.As for Splinter I have absolutely no clue. What was exactly the problem on this one? First HK had a lot of bosses that were way harder than her.
>>539369587/vg/ threads have always been a mix of this and tranny drama if it's a mulitplayer game
>>539369967>>539369808It was easy for me too just to spear the mobs as soon as they appeared but I think the main complaint was that the mobs did 2 damage. Just means you have to prioritize otherwise Spliter is a fucking joke without those.
>>539369967>>539369653They didnt nerf Beastfly, they nerfed Moorfly. I dont know what they did since the damage values are the same, maybe he has less health?
I fucking love Lace and her fat ass.
>>539369587well? where is the cute art in question? the image you posted has already been posted in these threads.
>>539370075I faced him back to back between the updates since they pushed the update while I was playing and quit for a break. He's a little slower so you can run away and heal, has longer windows to punish between his attacks, and his hitboxes got smaller.
>>539369653>>539369967Sister and Moorwing were nerfed.
>>539370062Exactly how I did it. Spearing those adds as soon as they spawn, or at using silkspear to get 2 of them at the same time.And it was during a time when I was shit at the game.
>>539369587Anon, this is literally what generals are. At least revel in the fact its genuine players and not tryhard faggot posting bait 24/7, god so many generals get ruined by these kind of twats.
>Lace lora on civitIts so over for my dick.
>>539370201>his hitboxes got smaller.it really was too big. Most of my deaths to him were him doing his little wiggle bullshit and me giving him a gentle tap, resulting in my instant death
>>539369653The hardest boss was that fucking chef boss because she had a bug where she just flew the fuck away in the middle of the battle.
>>539370168Yeah posted by me, from reddit
>>539370743Glad I never got that bug.Interestingly, I find that chef boss was harder then judge and yet I don't see people complaining about it.But maybe that's because most players have yet to reach this boss.
>>539368334>it's basically cheating. It allows anyone to brute force a boss by farming.I'm guessing it's due for some sort of nerf but this is the same dumb argument people had with summons on ER. If you know a way to make a hard game easier and you're not taking it that's just a self imposed challenge. I'm refusing to use tools because it tickles my HK nailmaster roleplay but that's obviously just me being suboptimal
>>539370845idk... i've seen cuter
finally beat the bitch and this time I didnt get caught in the boom
>>539370936Tool spam melts her but the chance of getting wormed is the hardest part about that. Just don't get too near her soup and you'll be fine. Punish the ass smack attack.
>>539370936I reached and beat her today. No skills nor red tools. Judge was significantly harder.
Would you guys like a Knight mode similar to how SOTN had a Richter mode?
>>539371001Spirit ashes in ER are on a whole other level of cheese than architect tool spam.Imagine if cogfly was able to take boss aggro. That's spirit ashes.
>>539371019>tfw i got caught by the last judge's meme explosion attackwas anyone else as retarded as me?
>>539371019Good job Anon! I'm happy you can join us now!! Truly. The more people to join in this suffering, the more fun it can be. Welcome to hell--, err the citadel.
>>539368168How to kiss this thing?
>>539365314means you got cursed, I think it changes into a spiral when you get "cured" or enter act 3
>>539371220Just give me Alucard.
>>539371323on the cheek
>entire gameplan based on poison damageyou didn't beat the game, simple as.
>>539371017All Laces and Hornets are cute
you might think Silksong is a yurigame, but it's actually Hornet's adventures to filling out the Knight's harem
>>539371298surely there's a real bench somewhere in the underworks, besides all the jewish machines that I have to pay for every time?
>>539371220I'd pay money just for Hornet's White Palace outfit
>>539371625true...
>>539357049>>539356028my problem isn't necessarily the logic of magic, it's that Hornet herself gave the order to use such a specific magic, like she knew it was possible and that was the most logical way of doing thingsit wasn't a "I know of a solution, do you know of a magic that makes that happen?"
>>539371001Yes, that is accurate. Architect Crest is like Elden Ring summons.
>using toolsyou didn't beat the game>using silk artsyou didn't beat the game>using crest other than hunter (not enhanced)you didn't beat the game>9 maks, 4 nails upgradesyou didn't beat the game>you got hit onceyou didn't beat the game>you play with monitor turned onyou didn't beat the game
>>539371752There is exactly one.If you just arrived in Underworks from the Great Gate elevator, you shan't be getting to it anytime soon.
why is this bitch gone
>>539371752Hehehehe enjoy your class commentary, now get back to work sinner!
>>539371752there is lol but you have to finish most of coral chambers and another area to get access to it first :)get out of the underworks ASAP and into coral chambersthe beginning of act 2 is fucking terrible
>>539372180The beginning of act 2 fucking rules but you could always go Mist route
>>539372180>get out of the underworks ASAPI'm trying
>>539371789Sex with both
>>539371972have you tried music?he disappears to hunt but I don't think he ever dies
>>539372278can you HANDLE that much bug and silk?
Its done... All it took was a really good attempt with timely stagger and every Witch crest heal nuke actually landing to beat the Void Lace. Nice seeing Little bros care for their Onee-san Will be saving the few (2) Memento bosses for when DLCs eventually drop. I need a break from anything even slightly frustrating after this...
>>539372439I'm sorry anon, you used architect, so it looks like you did not beat the game.
>>539372439Damn. It took 20hours more than Hollow Knight did with all DLCs (except pantheon 5)
my journal says max 232, is it because I didn't do the shakra and the garmond fights in act 2?
>>539366886The one thing about Lace 2 that bothered me was how you can't parry her attacks anymore. Oh, she's attacking and you're in the air? You wanna maybe down attack her? Well too bad, clashing doesn't work anymore, she just overrides you and you take 2 damage. Guess I'll just uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wait for my turn to attack I guess. TC is very lucky they gave her enough punishable openings to not have this seriously mess with the flow of the fight. I liked Lace 1 more than Lace 2 because even though you fight her with way fewer abilities you can style on her harder.
Hornet's blue genitals.
where do i go after beating widow?
With all the big brain feints and calvinball attacks even the regular mobs in Silksong have, I think when I go back to the first one I'm either going to be like Neo blocking all of Agent Smith's attacks with his eyes closed or I'm going to get my ass whooped when False Knight doing begin autistically stuttering across the screen and attacks in the opposite direction to where he was pointing
>>539371974I will work harder.
>>539372645>Witch crest nuke>You used ArchitectAre you confused? Or just projecting yourself?
>>539372761Unlock the bell door.
Chef Lugoli's fuckin' fat, weaponized ass
>>539372854the third option : I'm a retardalso it was a joke
>>539372734You can parry her in the air, I've seen speedruns that do it.
>>539372373Piss easy
>>539371910>If you just arrived in Underworks from the Great Gate elevator,was there another way to go after last judge?
>>539373160Yes
>>539372734I consistently parry her on her way up then dash out of the way for her attack back down so dunno what you're on about
>>539371879It's like an extension of the same kind of magic that makes Charms become magical.Charms>Few ways a charm appears but mainly it's from a final wish, a dying bug's potent desire crystallised into these gorgeous, powerful trinkets.>Now don't go getting too sad. There are exceptions of course, and really, it's quite beautiful, makes them all the more precious. Mmhhmm.>Just think of all the little bug souls that went into creating your collection!Instead of using all that life force to create a powerful Charm, they used Hornet's memory of interacting with Everblooms to make that real instead, with a little help from the White Lady if you believe that's actually just her in the present speaking to Hornet through Red Memory.
>>539373160you can skip last judge by entering the citadel from the east, through sinner's road and the mist
>>539372907the bell door? the one called bellborne or something and there's a guy who drives you out until you bring something?
>>539372993>I'm a retardFairI know. I did try it with Architect but Went through Shards way faster that I had patience to go back and restock. Learned boss with Shaman mostly and then popped off on Witch
>>539373186why didn't you tell me before I went and locked myself in this miserable place?
I want to replay the game and leave it in comfy act 2 forever...
how do i open this
>>539373594Go around
>>539373442YOU DIDNT ASK, YOU WERE TOO GREEDY TO RIDE THE ELEVATORWELL NOW YOU CAN WORK WITH THE OTHER UNWORTHY SINFUL BUGS, GET BACK ON THE TREADMILL!
>>539373594enter through the marrow from the other side
>>539373594How have you not picked that up already. Repent by taking off your compass and exploring manually for 1000 years
>>539373594When you see shit like this, you open your map and look what is on the other side.If there is no adjacent room, you then look what is above/below. A lot of the time the entrance is in another room.
>>539373549I'd be cool to learn the dream music in act 2 and challenge the past for fun instead of a patchwork attempt at stopping a tragedy you made
i just thought about how fucking kino path of pain was and am disappointed silksong never matched it
>the ONE area in coral chambers i didn't go to is where there's a fucking stag station and an elevator shaft>all this time i stag'd to blasted steps and trekked on footi'm so fucking mad. i have only myself to blame. also, the fucking last melody i got, after completing tons of side quests, courier quests, getting 4 out of the 5 of my ingredients for pale oil was where that 2nd pale oil was sitting in whispering vault. god fucking damn it all to fucking hell. kill me. i hate everybody and everything.on the bright side i learned how to fight tanky bossed with only my default needle upgrade. oh, and only 6 masks because apparently i found 15 fucking spool fragments before i found my 7th fucking mask. i'm going to blame team cherry instead of myself
>>539373549Sherma in the bath with all these ladies? Damn our new Supreme Pontiff is getting all the Bugussy.
>>539374015Path of Pain was post-launch content.Patience, pilgrim.
>>539374015You guys have forgotten what launch Hollow Knight was like.
>>539372734You can parry all of her attacks, even the air punish. I realized because I would always instinctively try to pogo her when she jumped up into the air after me and I'd always parry her air slashes by doing so.
>>539372180>the beginning of act 2 is fucking terribleThat's why you go in through Phantom like a patrician.
welp the only two paths I have in the underworks take me to gauntlet rooms that fuck my assI'll try again tomorrow
>>539374890just like kill the enemies lol
>>539374015path of pain released 8 months after hollow knight's launch, the boss rush mode was a year and 6 months after launchlet's hope they're a bit quicker this time
>>539373549Imagine Lace getting all soggy lol.
>>539374015>>539374180How long was it for them to put path of pain in?Speaking if which, I can't believe I went to the surface for the memento only to find that there's a stoopid quest that wants me to go back there. Holy shit no...I can't remember if I unlocked a shortcut though. Will I have to do the whole thing again? It was so cancer...
>>539375109you have to wring her out
>get filtered by lost lace>upgrade tool damage>winTools = you didn't beat the game
>>539375109Silk doesnt get soggy. Its super highly absorbent up to 30% of its weight without feeling damp. The more you know.
>>539375286I believe the first content update came out 6 months after launch, PoP was either first or second update.
>>539371752I found it hilarious how there is a confession booth that cost more than the freaking chair that just give you an automated message about how you've sinned and need to work to death for absolution. Wouldnt be surprised the majority of pilgrims ended up in there as a reward for their faith.
>>539375286Also there is a shortcut that skips 90% of the climb back, so hopefully you got it.>>539375506The elevator only goes down, theres no upper connection. Thats where they ALL go until they are proven worthy. Pretty grim.
>>539375286>>539375431PoP was part of Grimm Troupe, which was the 2nd content update
>>539375675I thought GT was third, Lifeblood and Hidden Dreams came before? But I'm probably wrong.
Considering the brutal spike of difficulty between base HK and its DLC, I'm kind of afraid of what's coming for Silksong
>>539375431I just checked, 8 months for Grimm troupe DLC which included PoP and then another 10 months for Godmaster.We can reasonably estimate 8-10 months for Silksong's first DLC.
>>539375769
the flea caravan wants to leave. i closed the game so it didn't save because i saw an anon say that i should save like 22 for an important effect in act 3. do i just not talk to the guy
>>539375675>>539375769Nevermind you were right, it went Hidden Dreams, Grimm Troupe, Lifeblood and then Godmaster. My bad.>>539375873I think thats fair, they've already discussed their dlc plans. Plus with Godfinder already in the code, there's definitely going to be a boss refight update.
>get filtered by boss>double you attack speed with a crest>winyou didn't beat the game
>>539371276I did but Magma Bell tanked it.
>>539375976You can always save them later
thank fucking god that on act 3 the stationary parkour mobs can be corrupted and to random bullshit attacks to ruin the parkour
>>539376454>he didn't 100% act 2 before moving onsuffer
>>539375976The caravan moves when you have progressed enough and have enough fleas rescued. You will never lose anything by letting them move, except while they are next to Bellhart you can actually get to the camp fast via bellway.
>SilksongMore like Slick schlong haha
>>539376445>>539376589alright thanks
General reminder that nothing required for 100% completion is locked away by progressing the Act.
>>539376969This. Even the two optional duels are not required for 100%ing the journal (which does not impact completion percent anyways)
>>539376780me with hornet
Cute.
Does Huntress die in Act 3 regardless of whether the player's completed Broodfeast? I forgot about that quest and by the time I collected the last organs I was well into Act 3 and the quest became Runtfeast when I got back.
I was watching a streamer and his thread storm hits like double the amount mine does how do you do that
How to take the game from 9/10 to 10/10>block usage of tools during last boss>make the ground not fucking black so that I can see where the fuck she is
What is the condition to bind Eva? All crests and all memory lockets?
>>539377253Skills scale with needle upgrades, also he might be on Shaman
>>539376586how do i even know if i 100% act2?
>>539377253Have you talked to Eva?
>>539377315I only had 4 crests maxed (Hunter, Architect, Witch, Shaman) and I could bind her
>>539377253spam rb button, it lasts longer and gets a bit larger
>>539377315>all crestsYes>all memory locketsNo. I don't know what else is required but I know it's not all silk hearts, silk fragments, or masks.
>>539377350you don't, enjoy doing that easy early game thing in act 3 where every enemy is in aids mode

>>539377837Waow
anything absolute radiance levels of bullshit in act?
>>539377837>the fat fucking flies got got good porn before ShermaAAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE>>539378034Nah, there's hard stuff but nothing like slogging through P5 to hit AR.
>>539378034act 3*
Just did the cogwork dancers boss fight, man...
>>539378034god I wish
>>539378232>>539378161great.nearing late game act 2 i've noticed the hardest bosses were fairly fun BECAUSE i could see myself getting better at learning their moves and overcoming my bad habits. none of them were 3 days long to beat and i think its a merit on the bosses design overall.
>>539378936>nearing late game act 2 i've noticed the hardest bosses were fairly fun BECAUSE i could see myself getting better at learning their moves and overcoming my bad habits.That's something my cogfly could say, unlike me.
incredibly fun loadout for late game completion rushing, just absolutely blasting people with 3 witch binds and flash grenades
I beat grandma silknow what
the JUDGE is FUCKING my ASS
>>539379158woops forgot pic xD
>>539305545>you figured out Sinner's Road bench fixi did>and Bilewater's hidden chair location.i didn't, kind ofa friend just told me there was a hidden bench somewhere
>>539305545I did none of these and beat the game just fine
>>539349069>>539350421>>539350832 (me)I was finally able to be Trobbio. After you beat him continue east in the room you beat him. There should be an elevator there. Go down that elevator, then send it back up, but don't go up with it. Go down, under where the elevator was.>>539371752Congrats again on reaching a next layer of suffering.It's exactly as >>539371910 said. There's 3 benches total in Underworks, and only one, is not paid. It's for a higher class of workers.
>>539379230Spam boomerangs and traps at her in the fire phase
>>539379216chase that 100% dragon
>>539379067OH HELL NAH
I'm assuming the answer is yes - do you get enough of the crest slot unlock things to unlock every slot on every crest?
>>539379352Silkshot railgun my beloved
This guy, Hermit, is such a spirit animal.
>>539379352that witch one an act 3 exclusive? trying to get all crests currently
>>539380310You can get Witch in act 2. And should ideally, for the hidden ending you can get before completing the quest.
PUSHANKA
>>539380370good shit, is it bilewater related by chance?
>>539380161Yes although I havent done it yet. Shockingly its not required for 100%.>>539380449Yes. I thought it was connected to the maggots initially but its something else.
>>539380449It starts in Bilewater
I thought people were exaggerating about Savage Beastfly but wow the developers really decided to tell everyone "fuck you" with this boss
how bad am I if it took me 22.5 hours to reach act 2
>>539380572>>539380586all right, thanks.
When's Hollow Knight 3?
>>5393806972034
>>539380675if you are trying to speedrun, pretty badif you are trying to do 100%, a bit fast
I want to switch things up from hunter crest. I'm in Act 2 and have five crests total. I want to wack things with my needle and maybe use R1 abilities more. What should I try out?
>>539380675i respect the grind.
>>539380823Reaper, the only crest that should exist
>>539380823Wanderer gives you more liability with the needle.Reaper gives you more silk after healing.choose your poison.
why isnt there a fucking tube in bellhart
>>539380982wtf, meant LESS liability cause you have a built on quick slash kinda
>>539381009They arent the citadel elites
So until Hornet showed up, the Citadel was in stasis (except for the guys who kidnap you at the start of the game) and before Widow shows up to strangle Belhart, any pilgrims that made it to Belhart just went on to die in the Blasted Steps or maybe to LJ
how do i enter this area north?
>>539380865I thought reaper was bait.
>>539381668None of the crests are bad (yes, even beast is good for combat)
>>539381668Why? It's a solid crest
>>539381534Actually that's something I don't get. The Citadel is supposed to be a functioning kingdom, right? So why is everyone crazy there already? In HK, it at least makes sense because the Radiance is fucking up everyone's mind.
LACE YOUR ASS IS TOO FUCKING FAT FROM EATING VOID STOP DOING CONTACT DAMAGE TO ME
handholding sex with Phantom...
Phantom fight really similar to Hornet 2 btw
>>539382224>*teleports on top of you*
>>539382198Everyone is being puppeted by silk and the kingdom is a hollow shell, the three factions keeping it running are on their last legs. Pharloom hasnt been functioning properly for a long while. Stasis is a bad term though, its more like its on autopilot.
>>539381587from the memorium i think
>>539382298This. I tire of all the Lace propaganda when her older sister is better.
>Dude what if we made you fight 3 gauntlets in a row full of flying enemies that input read away from you and covered the floor in spikesCoral Tower is unironically the least fun I've ever had playing a videogame
>>539382701The floor is covered in spikes for like 20 secones, just wallcling and clawline.
not enough art of First Sinner boss
>>539377253Storm sucks unless you have the lighting Damage tool. With that on Storm goes from worst silk skill to one of if not the best.
>>539382891No it isn't, fag, it's permanently on the floor for the entire wave>Just spend ages waiting for enemies to feel like coming to you while deflecting their pot shots, aren't I having fun being a little cuck rat? Isn't it fun not being able to mechanically deal with enemies???No, bitch. You suck.
>>539382701I had fun. Only issue was that Khann wasn't difficult enough and ended up feeling like a letdown.
>>539382701Good thing I never had to think about it since I went In expecting a gauntlet and had Architect with plasmium equipped. Id rather shoot myself than do all that again.
>>539383003No it isnt lmao the fat dude clears it after the flying mob, stop being a salty little shitter and learn to play. You can pogo off it, did you even know that?
>>539383040The difficulty is not the issue with that fight, it's just too linear and boring
>>539382579I was talking about the Citadel in particular for "stasis"The violin knights before Dancers obviously haven't moved for yearsLace says something the Citadel waking up
>>539383084How about you get some fucking standards you faggot, you're the one who was talking about hugging the wall indefinitely when the spikes appeared. You fucking rat faggot ass retard.
>>539383384You can hug the wall indefinitely, you can use the wallcling tool and then just clawline the enemies, its easy. You have the heart fish, the lone flying mob and then fatty clears the spikes. Stop crying on 4chan and learn to play the game!
>>539383548All you're doing is reiterating how cucked and dependent on enemy RNG you are in that situation you mindbroken cucked little retard.
>>539383712>enemy rngTHEY'RE THE SAME MOBS EVERY TIME BRO LMAO
stop fighting bros
>>539382198The Citadel didn't really seem to be a "kingdom" more of a really large palace/templeIt drew in the resources of the surrounding areas to sustain itself
>>539383828You're stupid as fuck if you think patterns aren't randomized. Did Team Cherry suck your IQ out along with your soul? You faggot loser?
>>539383954The big guy ALWAYS comes dowm and clears the spikes. You have no idea what you're talking about because you're too bad to get to him.
The architect charged attack seems really nice. I like using buffing tools but not really the offensive ones so I don't know how good the architect crest will be for me if I'm mainly using main weapon attacks instead of tools though.
>>539384235Architect charge attack does indeed rule, only downside is the diagnal air move kinda sucks
>>539382701i beat it second try with reaper pogo and silk steal kino
>>539383003>he couldn't beat Colosseum of Foolslollmao
>can't play skate because its shitty always online slop and the servers crashedthe state of modern gaming. back to playing with bugs
>>539385271member when games came out literally every year and they were mostly good (because they were just the first game with more content)
>>539385820oh yeah, i memba! that was FANTASTIC!
>>539385820blame gamers for being willing to buy garbage while thinking it will make the garbage-makers stop making garbage
rasher wasn't anywhere as annoying as i was expecting it to be. messed up twice and lost it half-way through choral chambers but after changing my path through shellwoods i had time to spare (still got hit once due to my insistence of giving a judge a whack in the head each time i go past it)
>entering high halls for the first time >"whoa, what a relaxing and welcoming area after mount fay and karak" ..then i got to the arena. screw that fight
>>539386560I do feel like HK had way more moments of "this is exciting" and "this is relaxing" while SS is literally just constant dread
new thread pls
bilewater is just a muckmaggot pickling plant to keep citadel bugs fat and engorged
>>539386861Sinners subsist on maggots while the Citadel workers get roaches. Actual members of the order probably have something better to eat.
the hardest part about Steel Soul is going to be fighting Chef Lugoli's giant GYATT
chose a nice time to finally show up again
>100% is just grinding 3000 rosaries in act 3
>>539387887you should've grinded already in act 2. the bench below the high halls entrance has 3 enemies to the right which drop ~20 rosaries each
Is first sinner the only boss to spawn you just outside it;s arena?
>>539387887>3000Try 10000
>>539388058It's because it's a dream fight. Major Act 3 fights are like that too.
I'm convinced that people complaining about needing to farm rosaries played the game with no exploration, no backtracking, and as little fighting as possible.
>>539388058Technically the Memory Bosses are the same but they boot you back to where you enter the memory from.
>>539387887I'm missing half a spool and don't feel like checking every place again.
>>539388151So do you think all the Weaver statues we get abilites from in the game are like some sort of sarcophagus or something?
>>539388372did you look under the Whiteward elevator?
I can't take lost lace anymore...I can't see anything...
Is there something that let's you check for Void Masses like the Fleas? Also is it true clearing the Void Masses stops enemies from voiding out?
>>539388572Try playing with two hands creep
>>539388632nono, clearing a void mass stops all enemies in that room from being voided as soon as you enter but they can still get voided while fighting
can this build get me through act 3?
>>539388834Yes

>>539389726I once tried to overdose on lifeblood in the "interlude" and had like 16 masks, but jobbed anyway.
>>539387012>Actual members of the order probably have something better to eat.We know exactly what rich aristocracy ate, nuts, meats, maggots in a jelly of wine and berries.
>>539390453berries that are toxic to almost everyone that isn't some mosskin critter or cogwork
>>539305780The Mosskin were Infected too, at least some of them
>>539386108I got hit once and bump my head on the wall, and left with full bar, the route was through the Organ and IMHO its safer, just swim with maggots don't pogo it
>>539388702>creepFaggot
that maggot water is someone's supper and it has a spider swimming in it
Can I get a hint on how to reach the heart of the wilds or whatever
>>539390892Go to the statue in Hunter's Reach.
>>539390453I think it's safe to say there's a difference between expensive high quality food, and SUPER expensive "exotic" food for the utterly obsessed.
>>539390672didn't think of that route since forgot that the mists disappeari wonder if wisp thicket is a valid route (one that i wouldn't want to take) time wise
>>539391070maybe it's like in the real world how lobster and crab used to be poor food for poor people and convicts, then some salesman got smart.Pickled maggots were for the workers in the furnace mines but then Chad McCharismabuild the salesbug convinced the elites that maggots are good eats.
>>539384341Because there is a short and long versions of architect pogo, try flaming needle + poison + architect charged, it's cheating
>>539391598Perhaps, but then again Lugoli WAS banished for "culinary crimes", so part of me doubts that.
>>539392071Lugoli tried to sell the elite on his greatness and failed. Then while he was in exile, someone else managed what he couldn't. Why else would the butler need a pickled maggot for his master's meal?
>>539389726I killed her with witch crest mirror explosion build
i'd rather try pickling some of those judge larvae. they deserve it as much as flies
cant wait for the settlement building and questing focused dlc
>>539390716gooner creep
how hard would it be to import HK bosses into SS or vice versa?
>>539394161would probably be easier to swap movesets
Why is Karmelita so fucking huge?
>>539392272Because his master is a freak who eats garbage for weirdos that they can't get anywhere else.
Can you complete the Hunter's Journal just with the single encounter or do you have to defeat them several times?

>>539380212I love the grouchy bastard because hs is effectively a bug diogene, my favorite philosopher.

>>539397249>>539397039was going to say tools until i saw the parasite vines loljust play super passive and focus on dodging her blades. remember you can jump over her long slash. only real thing to be worried about is the bullshit rng for the thread attack.
Silksong has a baffling 100%, what do you mean you don't need all the mementos for 100%
>>539398761>Game doesn't make doing all 255 riddler trophies required for the cheevoThank christ, literally the one sensible thing they did
>>539397249Thank god you only have to beat Silk with Twisted Bud and not Lost Lace
just realized that i had entirely forgotten about sherma and he has been waiting in the whiteward for like 10 hours
>>539400270>letting sherma fucking dieSay sike
>>539400270You monster.
>gauntlet before Broodmother teaches you that enemies can be hurt by the exploding flies>Broodmother is immune to the exploding fliesdog shit game design
So was the Sands of Karak already dried out when Silk showed up or did she cause the desertification of that area?
