Imagine if you could swap crests with a button press.
>>548187531My hands must be slow because I don't think I could do that even if I practiced the shit out of those guys.
>>548196997This will be the ultimate power Hornet unlocks in DLC instead of more blue tools or crests.
I think this is a bit too autistic to do. It seems like something you would do if you literally had anything else to do in your life. The challenge is honestly nice(except for the low dmg making fights take forever) but what do you think? Anyone here actually bothered to do AB Pantheons? You only get this golden glow and nothing else.
>>548197023I practiced on bell beast. she won't hurt me :)
>>548199727Can't you just do the bindings one by one and get stuff like the journal entry and lifeblood?
>>548199727you need more, 4 more bindings and you will get a lifeblood cocoon for each checkpoint
>>548201116>>548201290im talking about all binding runs not seperate. Lifeblood is easy to get the all bindings are kinda ridiculously hard
I probably would have wiped fewer times if I remembered clawline exists.

>One of the things I find interesting about Act 3 is that there’s no signposting that it exists. If you get the “bad ending” after Act 2, you might think that there must be more. But there isn’t really any hint of that. Were you worried that some people might not even realize there’s an Act 3?>Gibson: No, that’s exactly how it’s meant to present. You’re not meant to necessarily realize there’s an Act 3. Some players will naturally encounter Act 3, and the players that will encounter that are the ones who will likely have played in a very completionist way. The players who really spent the time to help all the creatures in the world, befriend everyone, and also have spent time exploring the extents of the kingdom. It has that natural gate of someone who’s shown themselves to be an exceptional explorer, an exceptional combatant. They’ll have this new chunk exposed to them. For other players they can comfortably come to an ending that is ambiguous as to whether it’s a good or bad ending. It is just an ending.Weaver Queen confirmed not just a bad end.
>>548208619>what they were thinking with BilewaterFucking scrub-ass talking point.
>>548209832He knew it was a question a lot of people would want asked. Same for confirming that Steel Assassin Sharpe is in the DLC plans and that we should be hearing more about those plans "soon" even with no release timeframe.
>>548210224>He knew it was a question a lot of people would want asked.I guess.
>I hit a wall on Last JudgeBlack site torture wouldn't get this out of me.
>>548213816It's just describing Elden Ring, they've invented 2D Elden Ring.
>slight tweaks to make early bosses less punishingI didn't understand how any of those tweaks mattered. I think maybe there was one where contact damage was reduced to one mask, that's good, but everything else was like adjusting the hitbox, which is crazy, that made no difference.
>>548214564>but everything else was like adjusting the hitboxNot really. Moorwing's projectiles were changed from 2 to 1 mask damage, along with the attacks from the splinterbarks during Sister Splinter.
>>548214965That's fair.
>>548199727I did 1-4 AB.1 and 2 were easy, took me 3 tries on both.3 is an insane jump in difficulty, took me around 50 tries. Collector really becomes a choke point when you can't one shot his spawns. Zote as well.First try in which I made it past Zote was a win.4 also took me ~50 tries, but that one is just skill issue.I tried 20-30 tries on P5, never got past Collector, he's even worse on AB in Ascended form. I did install mods to practice him and manage to kill him 2/3 times with AB, but then I got sidetracked, and haven't really been trying.
>>548215686And yet sadly the "everything does 2 mask damage" meme still persists.
>>548215851this difficult rush im feeling is dangerous. i know i can do AB 2 through 4 relatively fast but if i commit to that i will be forced to commit to ab p5 and that im sure will take a LOT of time. Collector and Zote aside you have Markoth Grim and PV which you have to do near Radiant because of the low dmg they last twice as long too so no opportunity for errors pretty much but then ontop of that you also have AbsRad which isnt hard at all but with AB + some insane undodgable patterns she has will be a straight up nightmare. I bet its harder than Radiant AbsRad which took me 5 hours. Its such a big time commitment with very limited rewards.

>>548221058
Hey anons. Is there anything you'd suggest as a gift for someone who really likes these games? I don't play them but my younger brother does. Do these have an official artbook or anything like that?
>>548223629For Silksong no but there are a couple of bits of merch like Lace dolls floating about.
>>548223629Find some Silksong fanart on twitter, like three tweets, the algorithm will start feeding you Silksong tweets, you're bound to see someone mention Lace plushes.
>>548221058>got the fluf up the mountain from moth thing>try again>actually I need the legal trouble avoiding sneakers for urban dwellers ™ if I am to buy enough time to do the delivery the aids never ends who finds this shit fun outside of trannies? Horrible quests you cluelessly bash your head against unless you have multiple items you must pilfer at the four cardinal points of the map? Blow yourselves with a shotgun team faggots. They are doing this because they resent living in kangaroo hell and wish to spread the misery. At the very end of this quest I bet the bug's about to ask me my vax pass before I can get the damage oil. And a picture of my ID. AND TO SOLVE A CAPTCHA.
>>548223629Find a stupid stinky bug out in the wild and throw it in his face. It fits the spirit of the game. Make sure the bug is agitated and equiped with a stinger. You know what since team cherry LOVES contact damage use tape to stick the bug on toilet paper and let your brother find out.
>last item is a crust nut, to symbolize how team cherry is bursting through your crust>and it's in bilewater, symbolizing my bile forming as I play this >and I have to down a bossthey very well know what the fuck they doin they must be brought to justice
>>548242043Bro, your bait isn't even getting which half of the map it's on right.
>>548244210you're right, I did the crust nut tonight. Maybe I wouldn't misremember if there wasn't one million trinkets to bring back to the citadel, all locked behind horrendous trials, what do you think nigger?
yeah it's the maggot thing, and you need an additional item to make the area bearable since this pile of festering shit never runs out of ideas to make the experience miserable. Environmental damage? Cold? On contact damage from erratic spawns that aren't even attacking you? Progress reset when touching a spike in a platform run? Damaged or trapped benches? Paid benches in places where they know you were going to land beadless? Nah senpai we got a better idea to top it all: maggots draining your silk and making healing impossible if you go down the necessary amount in the middle of a boss fight that's dealing two mask damages. Go find the thingamajig cleansing the worms wherever the fuck it is hidden if you don't like it. faggot troon game
>>548246226forgot that in the list of cancers:-unnecessary runbacks adding nothing to the game-resource grind -enemies not dropping beads when you need them making you teleport to the citadel for the sole purpose of getting those red balls up hornet's ass-enemies giving a pathetically small amount of shards on runbacks so you need to switch your crest set and go on expeditions to replenish, more unnecessary crap so the devs can say "LOOK HOW LONG AND DENSE OUR METROIDSLOP IS WOOZIE"they spent seven years on this so they want to make sure the player will lose valuable time too, as much as possible
>>548246735OH YEAH ONE MORE THING there's a cap on how much stacked rosaries/shards you can store in your inventory, if you planned to circumvent the delectable pain of running out of resources when tryharding a boss they made it so you can't store a giant amount in one go to last you til the end of the game. They think grinding shit is such a capital, cornerstone element to the gameplay so that's why it's working the way it does.
It's funny that you're crashing out this hard even though you're looking up guides for your first playthrough.
>>548248942I checked. nobody gave him a single (you) on /v/ :(
>>548248942I am now using a guide for the items I can't imagine looking for every nooks and crannies in this bloated dead world for a fetch quest, It's like if you took elden ring a game that's already morbidly bloated and made the player crisscross all around the world fighting trash mobs for the #tenth time to get one stone or flask. >>548249954nobody ever constructed a valid argument to defuse mine and the coward devs hide behind the "well it's not for everyone" answer to any critic to never take responsibility and address lazy game design spread on a map that's four times too big for the amount of useful devices there is to find in it, or how they made all the dressing about muh hardcore and old school gameplay when below the surface you have terribly rusty systems precariously balanced around rng/uncontrollable chaos working in unison with inflated damage outputs. The amateurish lazy way to make games and only lesser men will respect that work. You can take hard games and see inside that they have more under the hood than trannybaits, like alien soldier.
>>548251146happy to help lighten up your day, buddy :)
>>548251437>0 answers to my claims stillMaybe I'll be getting those in about seven years, for now I remain unchallenged. I'm having more fun doing that than I am finding memory lockets that I won't use in hollow sneed.
>>548252023And why oh why would I earnestly bite the bait instead of poking at the edges?
>>548221058>>548232650Sorry, can't relate. Did the rasher in 3 tries on the Blasted Steps route and in a single try on the Mist route on my 2nd playthrough. Do you have anxiety issues? Just don't think about the timer, it's super generous, to the point that you can also do the nectar gauntlet AND Chef Lugoli all in one run lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unf6jfx3J84It's all about not taking hits or bumping into things
Lace, I...Only took me over a hundred tries, while drinking too. Finally locked in at the last mile.
>>548223629Fangamer.com just came out with a new Lace Plushe. Just ordered one for myself. Kicking myself for not getting the Hornet one earlier, since next batch is coming around April next year. They have other HK characters too.
>>548223629A hooker.
>>548258928did you enjoy me laughing at you anon?
>>548259432Only for a little while. And then I wanted to strangle you. And then I wanted to cuddle you after I bodied you.
>>548259236id love a Lace figurine. I want it to be high quality though hope someone makes it
>>548252023>Maybe I'll be getting those in about seven years, for now I remain unchallenged.Nobody wants to talk to you, retard
>>548208619>>548208182>Q:Have you guys watched the videos made by the YouTuber Mossbag, who really goes deep on the story of Hollow Knight ? (...) How much is accurate?>A:(...)If there’s any space for interpretation, then I would never want to step in and ruin that by saying ‘Correct, correct, wrong, wrong, wrong.’F*ck these guys. I have lost essentially all interest in the vague parts of the lore now. In these threads we've had a number anons discussing what's what, but the ambiguity of the lore has lead to so much disagreement, which I already thought was bad, but I had the idea of "at some point TC will clarify everything, so I guess I'll just wait 'til then". But no, it seems they wont. If they're not gonna say what's what, then all of this speculation feels pointless for me. Like a game of "guess what's in the box!", but the box will never be opened.
>>548208619>>548208182>Q: What happened to Steel Assassin Sharpe ?>A: Just waiting in the wings. Waiting to arrive is probably the best way to say it. One of those enemies, a little suite of Sharpe and their companions, they got tucked away for a while because the game had so much in it. And all of these pieces need polish, and polish takes time. We’re excited to reintroduce Sharpe. We just have to get to them.Sharpe confirmed for DLC?
>>548261623>nobody can prove me wrongfixed that for you. It won't get the goty, but it can sure get the "padded the playtime with vile shit" award so not all hope is lost! I got the upgrade and turned off the console. That's to illustrate how deeply disgusted I am: I didn't even try the new toy I unlocked yet and I feel absolutely nothing at the prospect of trying the oiled up toothpick. I know there's yet more bullshit ahead. That's the main sentiment weighing me down. Boy I can't wait for the next boss with jittery drones flying around the arena haphazardly and for my not-pogo jump to jinx me with its fucked up hitbox, making me brush the edge of the boss' cape thus inflicting me two points of damage. Not. Fucking not. Another interesting thing is that I turned off the sound for every bosses giving me trouble and whenever I did I killed them on my first attempt with the sound taken down. This is not a joke. Whoever voiced everything in this game deserves to be beaten into a coma. I like having a mongoloid making funny noises when I do something hard!
>>548261646>you member the theory of your in-game deaths are hornet's foresight>well, It's just a game mechanic. stop thinking too muchkek, I would be mad, but they did confirm something obvious like blasted step/sand of karak was coral gorge
Team Cherry talk about the difficulty and accessibility in the latest interview with Bloomberg.
>>548261646That has been their stance for years. Whatever's in the game is canon, even if it's vague and inconclusive. They even went as far as saying that them accidentally revealing some extra lore in an interview or something it should be treated as non-canon, until proven otherwise.The common example was Hornet's origin story where she had 3 mothers, they had this idea all along and revealed it in one of the early interviews when asked why a spider spawn was named Hornet. But it wasn't canon until Silksong made it canon.It's a completely fair approach IMO. I like it much better than, say, Yoko Taro's "visit all my stage plays, collect all the art books, manga and CD dramas to know what's REALLY happening, oh and that mobile game we just shut down? all of it was 100% canon".
>>548262741>putrefied ductsSee I was right about finding things that suck even more down the road.
>>548263793>Whatever's in the game is canon, even if it's vague and inconclusive.My problem isn't that what's in the game is canon. My problem is that they wont confirm the stuff that's vague and inconclusive.>I like it much better than, say, Yoko Taro's "visit all my stage plays, collect all the art books, manga and CD dramas to know what's REALLY happening, oh and that mobile game we just shut down? all of it was 100% canon".I guess it's a difference of opinion then. Idk anything about Yoko Taro, but the situation you described sounds better to me than the silk song situation since we get confirmation. With what TC is doing (i.e. refusing to give confirmation or clarity), I now have essentially zero interest in the vague parts of the lore. I don't even want to speculate any more on what's what if they'll never confirm anything.
>>548264597Welcome to spit squit territory. Leave your joy at home.
>>548264847Developers like Yoko Taro (it's the Nier guy, if you don't know) are just selling you garbage you don't need, while Team Cherry is being fair to their customers and saying that the game is a complete product.>they'll never confirm anythingThere's still DLC though and the Steel stuff is confirmed to be in.
>>548261646>I had the idea of "at some point TC will clarify everything, so I guess I'll just wait 'til then"Literally was never going to happen. They didn't do it for Hollow Knight. From Software has never done it for any of their games, which team cherry are heavily inspired by. Doesn't mean we can figure things out for ourselves and also see things in their art they may not have intended
>>548265649>From Software has never done it for any of their gamesDark Souls 3 cleared up a whole bunch of unresolved/vague lore points, like who the hell was that missing son of Gwyn you see defaced statues of in 1.
>>548265396>while Team Cherry is being fair to their customers and saying that the game is a complete product.Never played Nier. Idk about this complete product stuff. I'm talking about confirming lore and TC stated they won't be confirming anything that has space for interpretation. That sounds worse than a game, or series of games, that do confirm the lore. (From a knowing-the-lore point of view. Idk of the actual gameplay of Neir games.)>There's still DLC though and the Steel stuff is confirmed to be in.If they confirm stuff via the game, that's fine, and I've not a problem with that. Even if it's not until a sequel / successor. I'm talking about the stuff that's vague and that they wont be confirming.>>548265649>Doesn't mean we can('t) figure things out for ourselvesIf the stuff we figure out is obvious to point there's no "space for interpretation" then I'm not talking about that. There's no need for Team Cherry to confirm stuff we can confirm ourselves.>Doesn't mean we can('t) (...) also see things in their art they may not have intendedI think this is where I differ. I think some of you can enjoy looking into the stuff they have and speculate what it may really mean, but for me, if they'll never confirm or deny it, it feels pointless and kinda empty.
>>548218395PV is not that hard, at least in P4AB. I mean he's hard, but eventually you get better at fighting him. You can counter every move of his, you just can't afford to be super aggressive.Markoth was not that bad for me, but that was in P4, where you have the floor, never reached him in P5AB.The consensus seems to be that the hardest bosses are GPZ, Collector, Markoth and AbsRad.
>>548268280>if they'll never confirm or deny it, it feels pointless and kinda empty.You fundmentally misunderstand the point of art anon. What is intended and what you feel is the purpose and how it makes you feel is the point. >If the stuff we figure out is obvious to point there's no "space for interpretation" then I'm not talking about that.Can you give an example of somethings that not this for you that you need team cherry to answer it?
>>548270402>You fundmentally misunderstand the point of art anon.I'm talking about the lore, not art.>Can you give an example of somethings that not this for you that you need team cherry to answer it?Assuming I understand your question, some points of disagreement in these threads are>Who locked up first sinner and how?Some argue it was GMS, some say it was the citadel (while GMS was "asleep").>When exactly was Lace madeSome say it had to be when she was awake, some say it happened while she was "asleep"Though not points of disagreement, but unclear:>In the Slab, what does "x of y" stand for?One would say it's generations of weavers, but that also brings in more questions, such as how many where there, and why is pharlid ascension done in cohorts.>Why was Phantom essentially banished to bilewater.The list goes on. These were just off the top of my head.
Autism.
>>548274156
>>548269064Honestly the entirety of pantheon 5 comes down to clearing markoth and absrad. Zote can be somewhat annoying but him only doing one mask (mostly) makes him not super dangerous. The big problem is that you fight him immediately after the faggot markoth, but I still don't remember dying to him or the guys after him since you can easily full recharge on champ with the stunlock dream nail abuse when you down him.Markoth might be solved a little bit easier by going heavily into spells and blasting him with shade soul across the arena during phase 2 but as someone who was securely in the land of a low-IQ nail spammer who doesn't want to fight the rest of that stretch with a spell build, the guy is such a fucking faggot.
>>548277048You can't spam spells when you're doing AB, you only have 1/3rd of your soul vessel availible. I haven't reached him in P5AB, but in P4AB dash slash helps a lot. Of course, in P4 you have a safety net in the fact that you can drop to to floor if it gets hectic, a luxury you don't have in his Ascended arena.
>>548277048they are talking about All Bindings p5. Its an entirely different game
>>548278326>>548278346fair enough, that makes the collector make a lot more sense to add9:30 in the morning and I just woke up, my bad
>>548280269This guy has more voice lines that Hornet.TRO! BIO!
>>548281694Did you know that in Silksong, hornet had orgies with other bugs while she was married?You definitely missed this small detail in Silksong-- SHAWI can't stop- the loneliness HEGALE
You know what fuck all of you I actually cant wait to for playable Lace. I like her
>>548283020I'd rather have Lace than Zote.
>>548285156couldnt be me
>>548285156I was wondering about the spikes at the top, then I remembered she's part wyrm. This pic is pretty good.
Why did Hornet absolutely need to send Trobbio into a suicide-ideation depression
>>548287602that was the state of Pharloom which i guess was partly caused by Hornet
>beating Trobbio only when he's absolutely pissed me off
>>548285156Hollow Knight: Ringsing (feat. Shakra) is just 15 years away
>realizing they're gonna make us fight Trobbio a third timeThey should pull a Nightreign and make a PvP game. Unique/personalized bugs, random maps from Silksong. But go full The Duskbloods and lock the center area until the opposing players complete gauntlets for random tools.
>>548295134What if they made a Hollow Knight dating sim haha
I'd like the next HK to not have any remaining Kickstarter requirements.
>>548296514That would be nice.

I hate gays and yurishitters
>>548320010It's been seven years anon, you need to accept Sheo and the Nailmaster getting together.
>>548314850Lace desperately resisting the urge to crawl up Hornet's ass
>>548320010Best post itt.>>548320289Nah I will always refuse it. The game even gave you the option to do so.
>>548320289That's fujoshitters, who are worse than yurishitters.
>>548322151They were also complaining about the gays.
>>548324121Wait until you find out what lesbians are.
>>548328527There might be gay women in this thread right now
>>548330071How horrifying
>>548330882It's a pity you can't beat the shit out of a playing dead Trobbio like you can in act 2 because Tormented Trobbio deserves it.
Alright bumpfag, do your thing.
>>548340219
Why do you think they cut the Strung to serve ending? I think we seriously missed out on kino boys. I would love to see GMS take over Hornets body in an ending.
>>548340739It was tied to weakening GMS with the bells and they decided that they'd rather not make the bells mandatory in order to get even a neutral ending.
>>548346936the shelfs lookin a little empty anon
>>548347063

>>548348261and what is the problem with that? They are pretty minor anyway
>>548348470>and what is the problem with that?This is a sign that you frequent this place too often. Cleanse yourself of its bile, and remember that others also experience awe at a game's vastness.

>>548196684WELL the wiki claims that Mulibinder does work with Witch crest, but I don't really see a difference visually. It certainly doesn't give 2 explosions from Claw Mirrrors on Witch, very disappointing.
>>548368613The difference is that you can keep succing enemies for longer, not that you get two shorter succs
>>548371782Damn. I was hoping for maximum bind bombs on the designated bind bomb crest, still pretty fun though.
>>548374523It's the vampiric crest, not the "let Trobbio show off" crest. You're still getting the damage boost and a major nuke, just not getting to double dip with the mirrors.
>>548303583These are super cool.Maybe an edit of Lace sitting/talking with the forge lady in the Deep Docks?They seemed to be cooperative with the the haunted bugs despite not being possessed.
>>548309963Despite having the shit beaten out of her multiple times with a weapon that is undoubtedly slicing her up, she remains completely intact and ambulatory. She must have some sort of self repair function because she wakes up just fine and dandy after the final fight where Hornet is not seen giving her any silk and GMS is presumably dead in the void. Maybe the silk heart that you get after beating her the second time isn't hers, or isn't her only one, and so she retains the ability to simply endlessly regenerate silk.
>>548380029>She must have some sort of self repair functionI'm pretty sure the silk flower bed is her regen pad.
>>548340739The bell benches had some extra mechanic and it was cut due to being annoying, they talk about this in the recent interview. My guess is you were supposed to upgrade these benches somehow, and if you fail to do that then GMS automatically overpowers you resulting in this ending.
>>548303583Garmond and Zaza about to shank GMS when she's either getting bound or grabbed Hornet.
>>548380689
>>548382387Nice.

>>548382387>Zara then binds GMS.Turns out she was a higher being all this time, but was curse to frailty and silence, forcefully descended to a mare bug. She only needed the power of another higher being to free herself.
>>548386813You know I was thinking it was weird we see no other Higher Beings in Pharloom. Hallownest had Unn in the Greenpath, but in Pharloom its just Grandmother Silk and then Lost Lace.
>>548387723>Grandmother GRANDMOTHER
>>548387723Eva and Nyleth seem to straddle the line, the former with explicit claims of having divinity yet screwed by a form too frail for it and the latter actually creating distinct living things with a fucking shrine the Citadel was convinced to build for her.
>>548382387Post-Lost Lace, about to jump back out with GMS boosting Hornet with Silk, but instead of Lace, it's Garmond
>>548387843>"Grandmother" is one word, not two, and it is spelled as a single compound word.
>>548388298Her name is literally Grand Mother SilkA mother that is grand, majestic, not matrilinial
>>548388397But Grand Mother Silk is the mother of the weavers (and made Lace and Phantom), and so in a way Grand Mother Silk is the grandmother of Hornet, making Lace her aunt
>>548388973And Frankenstein is the monster's father.
>>548376687
>>548389181do you still have that sprite edit with Hornet Lace and Zote you made some time back?
>>548389727Yeah
>>548389798>Lifeender not even drawnHow does he do it.
>>548388973That's what makes the pun so amazing. The "Grand Mother" can be seen in like 3 different ways:Grand Mother: Great Mother of all the WeaversGrand Mother: The head matriarch of PharloomGrandmother: The grandmother of the protagonist.Nevertheless "Grand Mother Silk" is her name.
>>548390789>Nevertheless "Grand Mother Silk" is her name.It's not though. I was reading the new Team Cherry interview yesterday and they just say Silk. It's the same thing as Shrine Guardian Seth vs just Seth (or Skarrsinger Karmelita or w/e). Why use the title every single time? Strange how the community decided on this very early on and now everyone's aping it.
>>548391169>Why use the title every single time?To distinguish between the character, the magical substance, and the mundane substance.
>>548391310It really is a dogshit name huh>can be misread as grandmother>silk is just a thing that's everywhere
>>548391169I just think it sounds rad as hell
>>548391731It's nice for layered meanings (in addition to those already mentioned, she's the "mother" of Silk-the-magical-substance), but poor for discourse due to needing a clunky epithet or innuendo to properly distinguish.
>>548303583Phantom watching HK play her organ.
>>548388270
>>548391169>It's not though. . . . Why use the title every single time?Don't skip the topic. The argument was grandmother silk vs grand mother silk. Grand Mother Silk is the name.If you're talking about her name name, then yeah, sure, just Silk, but that's not what this was about.
Posting this again just because it's my favorite Silksong fancomic.
>>548404329shut up you damn fabric and get me another fleabrew
>>548404329Styx didn't need this kind of ick>>548404563Fucking kek
Shakra and her mom.
Shade Lord and his wife.
>>548420694>Live Pale King reaction
>>548404329Good. It's very funny. I've shared it with others.
>>548420694Lace is Hornet's aunt.
>>548425280Ghost is Hornet's brother, so if he marries GMS, they become sisters in law. That makes Hornet her own grandaunt+grandniece and Lace's aunt+niece. Pretty fucked up family tree but that's part of the ship's appeal.
I wish there were more Stepmom Hornet comics.
Are there enough memory lockets to fully unlock everything in all the crests?
>>548431179Yes
Why did she do it?
>>548441593she couldn't help herself
>>548443238>>548441593He was gay. It's a simple equation, balancing itself out.
>>548441593He attacked first. Could have simply asked her to leave.
I was getting my ass whiped by widow quite a lot. At some point I got such mind clarity, I was absorbing the whole screen and everything on it, defeated her without getting hit. Such a cool feeling
Bros, I finally got to Lost Lace after 80 hours. Any tips/recommended builds that might make it less annoying? Getting through her first couple of phases took me a while (an hour or so) and managed to get to the last one after several tries before dying.I'm rocking Wanderer's Crest with Pale Nails and silk regen buffs (Weavelight, Injector Band).
>>548452354Slow down.LL massively punishes impatience. If you just take your time, it'll become massively easier.
>>548452354well if you just want to get it over with i know a build but it wont be satisfying. Do it your own way it makes it that much more special
>>548389181Aww that's actually really sweet
>>548441593>>548443238>>548446317He wanted to die, you illiterate children. He couldn't move on from the past and is just in perpetual anguish. You literally meet him telling you to leave him to rot, and he dragged a hunk of metal out of the Citadel that's merely a mimicry of his lover. The memory he repressed is just more shit about his lover, he never said anything about being done with grieving or seeing a future past his pain.No shit he attacks Hornet, the one that defeated the Cogwork Dancers will surely be able to put him out of his misery.
>Watching somebody die repeatedly to phase one clockwork dancers I didn't even think it was possible.
>>548404329I like the three parter about Hornet stealing Trobbio's pens.
>>548477380
>>548477563
>>548452354Just beat her after 70ish hours. Play it slow and don't sprint through the arena. She loves spawning right in front of you. If you climb the walls and double jump very high, you can heal safely and use the double heal item. Go to the sides when she uses the projectile attack; it is easier to dodge that way.
The Master.F.
too kino
>>548491319>Herrah>Slight>muted sounds of laughing bugs
hehe good girl
>>548452129Sick.>>548471705I died once or twice to them.
GMS vs prime Pale King (Wyrm form) who wins?
>>548509001How the fuck would you even make an educated guess on thatThe Pale King seems much more of a nation builder than a fighter. He had his Great Knights to fight for him, when he was more about building alliances, co-operating with the other tribes in his realm than go out and lay down the law himself.Grand Mother Silk is a literal spider. It's explicitly stated that it was serve or die, and even that got supplanted by outright enthrallment once the Weavers fucked off and the Conductors were left to keep her asleep, with their obsession with avoiding death by silkmaxxing leaving the whole kingdom open to outright puppeteering by GMS.The Pale King is implied to have been ganked by his own Kingsmoulds when the Void seeped into the White Palace through the lone Kingsmould you dreamnail, by the mass of Void that appears to be flowing into the body.GMS fucking jobs hard to Hornet after who knows how long she stayed asleep. Like Hornet says, 'Few who call themselves gods live up to the title'. Pale Beings are much more about manipulation and control than outright power, with even the Radiance's power being its control over dreams, as even it gets nuked by just two Vessels that have been hitting the Voidjuice.
>>548503160>I died once or twice to them.But was it during phase one?
>>548510201I think so? Phase 2 isn't much harder imo. It's even easier in some ways.
I love Horace yurislop and I'm tired of pretending I don't
>>548517682More like ho-race lol lmao
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snNIZGuo92cthoughts?
nightmare grimm is fucking impossible, I thought I had it on the third stagger but fuck me I guess. i even have most of the timings now and can parry but it makes no differenceim not asking for advice, sharp shadow was a fucking dumb suggestion, he still contact damages you during.
>>548538346parry what? lmao just sharp shadow through him, sounds like a massive skill issueare you the same guy that asked about this like 5 days ago?
>>548546098Who's the middle one supposed to be? An OC?
>>548547341Isn't that Phantom?
>>548547341As >>548548054 said, a VERY poorly drawn Phantom, who is the final boss of the "alternate" Act 1 route. Only reason I saved it is because it's a funny ship dynamic.
>>548548054Looked way too furry to actually be Phantom. Also don't remember Phantom actually liking machinery rather than being sentenced to it.
>>548548454I had the same thoughts. The coloring and the coat tails gave it away for me.
>>548546098>Phantom>loves crafting & tinkeringTypical forced yurishitter headcanon. Here's a better ship for you:>Imprisoned by parent to perform a certain task forever x Imprisoned by parent to perform a certain task foreverGET ON IT TUMBLRFAGS
>>548560245Hollow Knight canonically doesn't have neither cock or vag, so the only shippers are gonna be trannies
>>548560245If you're shipping based on parallels you might as well go with PV x Lace and Ghost x Phantom.
>>548548454>Also don't remember Phantom actually liking machinery rather than being sentenced to it.>>548560245>Typical forced yurishitter headcanon.There is almost no details on the situation to determine whether it was some manner of exile, a task that got in the way of maintenance, simply abandonment, or just Phantom deciding to fuck off and by super dramatic about rotting in a hole of her own construction.>>548561217Technically it's strictly about psychology, being "genderless" as an it-that-should-have-no-notion. Its reproductive anatomy could be quite the wide range of things, including many entomological and botanical horrors.
>>548561453>simply abandonment, or just Phantom deciding to fuck off and by super dramatic about rotting in a hole of her own construction.The needolin dialogue about being discarded isn't a detail?
>>548561453Void ate its dick, sorry. Barbie anatomy down there.
>>548561556...And? Bitch's head is falling apart and she's actively trying to commit suicide by likely-random-to-her passerby, a touch of unreliable narration on claiming she was "discarded" does not support the Exhaust Organ being an assignment bound to. Phantom making the thing to be a drama-whore about handling dregs fits in fine.
>CELLO!
>BANDO!
>VREN'DIO!
Okay, no shitposting, why did Hornet pick up unconscious Lace at the end? It was all over already, she could've just finished off Silk and soared the fuck out of there. In fact carrying Lace only slowed her down and she almost died if it weren't for Ghost.
>>548569680because she wanted to repay the debt she owed to Lace and she probably reminded her of her brothers.
>>548569680Did you not pay attention to anything that was said during act 3?
>>548569936Actually, I did, hence me asking. The shit Hornet says before diving in is the complete opposite of what she ultimately chooses to do. Damn women can't make up their mind lmao
>>548570250Because she realized the only way to get out of the abyss was with GMS' silk. She wouldn't have made it half as far, even without Lace weighing her down, without it.
>>548569680Consult your Hunter's Journal:>To quell the mother's rage, and see this kingdom saved, I will claim her back. This one... the dark shall not take.She may well not have been expecting to leave, but putting on the appearance of INTENDING to seems to be something she thought important to get GMS to stop pumping Void up into Pharloom trying to hold on.
>>548569680She'd been blatantly sympathising with Lace's fucked backstory since the Lace 2 fight.
There's no prompt, like a Wish, for when Seth starts wandering Pharloom? You just have to bump into him?
>>548582069Yeah. He's down in Greymoor where Shakra used to be.
>>548570250saving lace was GMS's wish™
>get to act 3>game becomes a -3/10 worst games I've ever playedI spent an hour dying from some red ant meat sponge. Which blocks attacks half the time for no reason, and arbitrarily moves, contact damage being the hardest part of the game. Then I went and did an hour and a half of flea juggling, got to 50, still lost, and I'm just done with this game. It's so forced artificial difficulty that I can't even bother exploring anything else after the abyss. I don't know why everything has to take several minutes of doing the same monotonous thing 5+ minutes per attempt.
>>548587098Instead of overdosing on copium just admit youre not good enough and move on. It's fine to say the game is too difficult for me i want something more chill.
>>548587098Don't forget "wastes the player's time".
>>548587098>>548589252Also forgot to add "it's not hard, just tedious"
>>548588303>>548589252>>548589442>literally wastes your time by having you literally juggle fleas for 5+ minutes to get to 50, which isn't even the goal >beat the boss, was not fun, challenging or rewarding, just a slog of repetition until meat points run out with the same 3 attackssure, I'm the one with copium.
>>548590764whatever to protect your fragile ego, anon
>>548590764>It wasn't hard, I just died for over an hour because it wasn't hard.
>>548591015>>548590935If the boss actually hit me with attacks, not fidgeting movement with contact damage, and the fights didn't last for 30-40+ hits, I might actually have a different opinion. The game was great until act 3.
>>548590764>>literally wastes your time by having you literally juggle fleas for 5+ minutesThe game literally isn't forcing you to beat Seth's scores. It's literally just a bonus challenge that rewards you with a trinket that does literally nothing. The game isn't wasting your time, you are.
Playing Cuphead rn as i wait for the DLC and im starting to realise i may have a type. First GMS now Cala Maria. There is something about Giant hot women
So why didn't PK and WL have kids before the Radiance drama despite WL wanting to breed 24/7? Did they just decide the drama of wrangling a hundred mini-gods wasn't worth it?
>>548621826PK had foresight so he wanted to save his wife's pent up horniness for the future vessel project.
>>548623868Given his guilt over the attempted lobotomite/zombie he took A While to accept having any shred of mind left, had he caved too soon he may never have worked up the nerve for the Vessel plan.This could paradoxically go much better from the likely additional Foresight sources expanding the search area.
>>548608659Of all the humanized fanart of GMS out there, you choose to keep posting this crude cartoon drawing.
>>548587098Skill Issue.
hmmmmmmm hmhmhm nanayani
Just let the thread die a natural death.As stated several times before, we'll return with the DLC.
>>548646101You also said you were leaving until then, yet here you are.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysVhYnlcRVcIf you can't beat the game in an hour, you didn't beat it
>>548646374Oh? They made it sub one hour now? Did they use that glitch that lets you skip needing the 3-fold song?
holy fucking shit I finally beat nightmare king grimm, 1hp for half the fight too, 112% and Silksong here I come lets fucking go!!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BP87bgXKFi4
>>548655541>no pantheon 5 you didnt beat the game. i know this meme gets thrown around a lot but actually
>>548658295what you think i'm doing literally right nowI swear people are getting stupider. can't enjoy a win gotta be like "yo you didn't beat the super boss rush version of the ending you already did, and don't forget the flower" bruh I know. I mentioned 112% in the last post.
>>548659219pantheon 5 isnt required for 112%. But it is required for you to feel like you beat the game
>>548659428its not? well i'm clearing godnest anyway.and, I felt like I beat the game when hornet told me to git gud and I did so, all of this is clearly added replayability stuff that I don't really need to do but my OCD won't allow me to skip
Reminder: if you beat the game, you didn't beat the game.
>>548659219>I swear people are getting stupider. can't enjoy a win gotta be likeHe's making a joke. Like here: >>548646374 and >>548660962
>>548659219>>548661463Why did you tell him
>>548663371no i get it, I am also doing SOTE with no scudatree fragments so trust me I get it. I just don't actually agree when it comes to hollow knight, my idea of "heres what you have to actually do to beat the game for real for internet points" would be steel soul + ending 3. like I said all this extra stuff is clearly tacked on, ending 3 was the canon ending without a doubt, and I can't even imagine attempting NKG or this god bullshit in steel soul, it would be more fun to smack your balls with a hammer while drinking cola mixed with milk, which is the most disgusting thing I can think of off the top of my head.
>>548661463Except the difference between that post and the other two is he's going "I know a lot of people joke about this, but I'm not" and the others just present absurd claims and let the joke speak for itself.
Is Lace playable yet?
>>548667210In my heart, as my wife, yes.
I think I just discovered a new? bug (no pun) I just beat hornet 2 ascended with 1 hp left with joris charm (blue hp), and now its still got void smoke around the first mask and lil guy like im on one hp except im not...i'm sure provided this hasn't already been discovered that people could do some fun stuff with this, pretty late game though I guess.
