Silksong thread since its Treehouse segment is happening right now

N-NANI?!

God that's sexy.

It becomes ultimately forgotten within the next two years as an extremely mediocre and uninteresting indie title.

Or do you mean the character?

Awesome! I love the look of this.

I really hope its a very early boss her attacks have almost a half a second wind up, GO FASTER DAMMIT!

The area and that boss are very early. She's basically the first Hornet fight.

Nothing new on the stream.

But, that was the first time I've seen the beginning. Looks like Hornet is being controlled by someone higher up, since she is released by someone else than her using strings, and as the game starts Hornet lays on the floor and you have to tap attack until someone above her smacks her weapon down.

I bet in the later Lace confrontations, she'll chain together multiple judgment sew ends.

Her carriage cage crashed/she escaped it.

She couldn't move because there is a seal of binding on the cage. Once the glowing bug released it she broke out with her own silk power.

And when she woke up she latched on to everything around her using her signature silk attack, which breaks the bridge.

I am naturally not the artist, so I can't speak for whoever drew it.
But I am guessing it's meant to be like hinges for what I am thinking is an exoskeleton.

Wait what happens if you die though? I just watched it and she never showed off the death mechanics.

You'll probably fight his God form or something.

Watch the IGN video. You leave behind a cocoon that you can break to fill your silk meter.

I asked before but got no answer, can you shaw on command?

if you have silk probably

GARAMA!

REEEEEEEEEE WHERE THE FUCK IS THE GAME ALREADY WHEN IS IT COMING OUT I WANT TO PLAY IT NOW NOW NNNOOOOOOOWWWWWW REEEEEEEEEEEEE

Kino.
And this is an early game fight.

I thought that at first, but I don't think that's the case. The cocoon respawns when he enters the room a second time, it was already part of the room.
youtu.be/acBIdFBJoIU?t=2m32s
He dies at 2:32, runs back and breaks that cocoon at 2:56, but that same cocoon is there again at 4:42 without dying. I think when you die you just lose all your rosary beads unless you have rosary strings.

The gameplay also showed rosaries strung up on the ceiling in a place, but I think those are the equivalent of geo deposits
More likely, the real footage was cut and stitched together and his second death was edited out for some or maybe no reason

Holy shit lads. Hornet can already do so much neat shit and Lace is already an amazing fight yet it's still really fucking early into the game.

The game is going to escalate so fucking hard if it looks this fun in what's probably the Greenpath/Fungal Wastes of the game.

>More likely, the real footage was cut and stitched together
Its an over the shoulder cam, there are no cuts. You can watch the other screen and guy in the back between those points.

fug forgot the pic. You have fucking nothing and compare it to the trailer, this game is unironically going to be so much better than the first one.

It DOES make sense as hornet doesnt leave a shade, she just fucking dies, but damn that's annoying
I guess the amount you keep depends on rosary strings then, maybe functioning as permanent upgrades

That's probably going to play during a climactic moment in the story.

But the cocoon isn't there the first time he enters the room, and he leaves one behind when he dies to Lace, too

I wonder why is her cloack listed as an item
I guess we'll get item upgrade sahrd capacity upgrades but what else, I wonder? I don't think Shade Cloack fits her thematically.
I don't think they showed item description for the thing next ot the cloak.

GARAMA

It means that you're obviously going to get the ability to upgrade it.

Also this is just a guess but I think the thing next to the cloak is an upgradeable "shard wallet". Notice how she can only hold 400 that shard shit? Well that purse is probably upgradeable too.

>Summon swords
This might be fun

>trouble with false knight
You're joking right?

It seems easily doable considering the fact that by this point in the game we have access to a dash, a dodge, an instant heal, and a charge move.
When people fight the false knight they don't even have access to a proper dodge yet or a source of fast healing which is what made that fight difficult.

o fuck!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking about when metioning shard capacity upgrades (I haven't even noticed until now how badly I butchered that sentence in my first reply)
Looking forward to the game even more after this, it's pretty, combat looks slick and it looks like they fixed the complaint that the gameplay is slow until you get dashing in original.

No webms for the first area? The moss mother fight was neat.

Yeah you barely have any items in the second demo that I think you'll get her dash move like less than an hour into the game probably.

I had trouble on my first time fighting, same with the club dudes, before realizing just walking back is enough

I hope Silksong has something like the pantheons at launch. Wonder if the game will even have post-launch content updates like the first game.

TC did go on record and say that they may plug DLC into the game later

I feel like the mantis lords were that fast.

There are no projectiles in that, they are out of those needles. Lace does have a parry just like Hornet's in the first game though.

They did say that they had so many cool ideas and the game was growing so big that some of them might become post release updates.

The mantis lords had 3 attacks and came at you one, then two with clear choreographs and gaps between the attacks. Lace is packing seven with no breaks, making this boss so much faster, especially since you cant heal easily

So you jumped straight to the "beats" word in the poem? That's weak.

> and is bound to protect the kingdom of Hallownest, the kingdom of her father by her duty,
Yes, and? Events in Silksong happen in a completely different Kingdom and it seems like the author of the poem is form that Kindgom. It would really make no sense to show a poem related to Hallownest in a game that takes place far away from it.

I think you got mislead by the word "beast" and I suspect it was put there exactly for that reason to catch people like you.

Hornet still has a connection to the new kingdom. The weavers, the cultists who kidnapped her.

So you are saying the poem literally reference first few second of the into cinematic?

You do realize original poem stayed a mystery whole game until you learn everything about Pale King. And you are telling me for the 2nd game they decided just to wing it and put 0 meaning unlike they did with the 1st?
Nodev spotted

no

When parry happens.

The hitstop is only when the boss parries or gets stunned. Makes it easier to tell when something important happened while you are whacking away at the enemy. Works well with the games sound design that webm cant show.

Don't forget lads. Lace's parry and riposte deals two damage to you and she's like one the first bosses. Literally the earliest bosses that do two damage is Traitor Lord and Failed Champion. Late game bosses.

This means more bosses are going to deal more than two if not three damage to compensate for the fact that you can pop up three heal instantly.

FUCKING IMAGINE

my personal theory is that hornet is trying establish a new kingdom after the fall of hallownest by taking over pharloom. her position as a princess qualifies her to rule a kingdom. her being royalty is probably the reason why she was "captured". being the heir to a kingdom makes sense with the last lines in the opening passage of "bearing it all".
the carriage was some sort of protective vehicle and was sabotaged by lace and her butterflies. perhaps lace is royalty as well and was the heir to the queen before hornet showed up. that would explain their rivalry to ascent to the city above.

>based Grimm Troupe menu theme
Noice.

Any Tips for beating Pantheon of the Knight? What is the optimal charm setup in your opinion?

I wanna get my hands on this game. the first one was a cakewalk except for nkg, radiant fights and the pantheons.
boss rush will be harder since hornet has more movement options, so bosses from the get go will be hard. Radiant/Ascended equivalents will be even harder since you can just make their attacks quicker and deal more damage, or maybe have arenas like no eyes

Absolute mad lads.

This is the equivalent of the first Hornet fight basically.

I honestly didn't have a strategy or a specific charm setup. I guess I found sharp shadow and quick slash to be helpful, sharp shadow especially during the TL and PV bosses. I just spent time practicing in the hall of gods on the bosses I knew would give me trouble, and I got it. Unfortunately you can't practice on PV until you face him in the pantheon. Just throw yourself at it until you win.

That little shota bug has a LOT of work cut out for him in the future

And? Take a look, there is no edge where it would fit or resemble anything.

It basically just means you don't have to run around smacking enemies to get full meter back for the boss fight. The cocoon doesn't seem to give back any lost currency.

Nice thinking, I also thought of something similar by myself.
What I find strange is that Lace drops the same particles when hit just like every other enemy featured in the demo, implying that she too is under the effects of the Weavers' "curse" found in this new kingdom.

Another possibility is that she belongs to Sharpe's group of assassins, but her attire doesn't seem to mark such resemblance.

>need silk to fucking parry
GAAAAHHH STOP IT I NEED TO HEEEEEEAAAAALLLLL!!!

I literally can't even imagine how the second fight is going to be. Will she just go full Vergil on our asses and have a screenwide Judgment Cut?

think about it like this
your movement in hollow night is a slow walk left and right, a quick tall jump with a slow descending speed and the pogo strike. once you get upgrades you have a dash (only used once in the air and has tons of endlag), double jump (which moves you down, and then up a little bit), wallkick (assuming the arena has one) and an invisible dash (that has a long period before you can use it again.
in silksong, you can walk, dash, pogo, sprint, sprint jump, grab ledges, spider crawl, needle dash and use some other items to improve your movement.
if you thought hollow knight was hard, this game might kick your ass.

How would you react if
instead of Hornet becoming a DLC character for Hollow Knight we get ghost as a DLC character for Silksong?

It's certainly nothing need or perhaps even should do, but still. Imagine

No.

Back in July I think or in June, when many people already finished HK and were either speedrunning or fishing for secrtes, dev tuned in into community Discord and someone asked abut the weird extra room in the Weavers' Den. One of the dev hinted that it is something that will be touched upon in the Hornet DLC. Since then that room stayed the same mystery.

But it looks like they totally forgot about it in the new game. I'm just slightly upset.

But does the bug wanna fug you?

How do you generate silk from hitting stuff?

No, the Sleeper's seals were put on each of them individually. You can see Herrah's seal if you try to hit her. The seal in Weaver's den different.

The hidden station near white palace has huge spools of silk for whatever reason. Did that not tip you off?

By wearing a cloak made of silk.
And the more you use it, the shorter it gets.

Combat is a helluva lot better than Ori. I'd say just pirate it or pick it up and give it a try.

>is this unironically a good game? The first one i mean
Yes.

>does it have good combat or is it basically just a pretty platformer like Ori?
No.
Ori is basically pure platformer. HK is an proper metroidvania with big focus on battle system and character development through upgrades

it's a metroidvania with a really good exploration, combat is mostly one note most of the game also fuck you for bad mouthing Ori

The core combat is pretty simple and straightforward starting out, but getting good with it and making the most of upgrade combinations during boss fights has a lot of focus. Doesn't hurt that the environments and enemy types have a lot of colorful variety.

I usually don't care for metroidvanias at all, but I had a lot of fun with it.

alright cool
i didn't hate Ori either, just not what i'm looking for now
i'll have a look, enjoy the new stuff

Some notes:
-Similar to the Knight, she starts out with nothing but her needle and a ledge grab, and gets more skills as the game progresses.
-Speaking of the ledge grab, it appears that she can jump out of it, which looks like it can lead to some fun things
-Her healing is known as “Bind”, and costs her entire spool of silk to heal three masks. What I want to know is if you can heal one or two if you have 4 or 8 for example, or if you can only heal three at a time
-She can be interrupted while binding and it will waste all of her silk without healing a single maso
-A run is activated out of a dash and instead of swinging her nail while running she lunges forward and is brought into the air out of it
>While running, she will do a long jump that can be used to reach places that Hornet normally cannot reach while just walking, which is shown when she uses it to grab a mask shard, which function exactly as they do in Hollow Knight
-Her downward slash is quite different from the Knight’s. Instead of just doing a regular slash but down, she lunges to the ground at a set distance and bounces off of enemies like the Knight
>Judging by the menu, she cannot increase her maximum silk capacity like the Knight can, since there is no display of possible fragments to collect like there are for masks
>Her tools do have limited uses, and are restored at benches at the cost of shards, of which you have a maximum value of 400.
-Death confuses me. I’ve heard that she loses 10% of her resources at death and is met with a cocoon instead of a shade that brings your silk up to maximum capacity, though someone else said that you lose everything (except for your shards)
-Lace is incredibly fast since this is our first encounter with her, assuming that she takes the role that Hornet did in the first game, where her first fight wasn’t really all that fast. To give her credit, you didn’t have any moves at the time, while Hornet appears to have her dash, so her agility makes sense

>What I want to know is if you can heal one or two if you have 4 or 8 for example, or if you can only heal three at a time
It looks like you can still heal if you've taken less than 3 damage but it still takes up the whole spool

why the FUCK would you pirate a game this cheap with this much love put into it? That's fucking disgusting.

If user wants to pirate, I'm not going to stop him. I got the game's Demo from a Humble Monthly, fucking loved it, and made it a day-1 buy. Doesn't mean I'm gonna tell someone "YOU SHOULD BUY THIS 100%!"

Either Dream No More or Delicate Flower are the true endings

Well obviously you cant tell an user what to do, i'm just saying it's kinda scummy to pirate a game like this one. Besides, you suggested he pirate it. I won't call you a piece of shit, but maybe don't advocate for pirating good devs and leave the piracy for the likes of EA

nice bait casualfag

>-Her downward slash is quite different from the Knight’s. Instead of just doing a regular slash but down, she lunges to the ground at a set distance and bounces off of enemies like the Knight
Same as Alucard's kick

> -Her healing is known as “Bind”, and costs her entire spool of silk to heal three masks. What I want to know is if you can heal one or two if you have 4 or 8 for example, or if you can only heal three at a time
What said. I aslo think there will be some upgrades so you can heal more.

> -Death confuses me. I’ve heard that she loses 10% of her resources at death and is met with a cocoon instead of a shade that brings your silk up to maximum capacity, though someone else said that you lose everything (except for your shards)
if you have Rosary Bead you wont lose anything but bead as I understood it.

why do you type like some shitty anime character?

is it still contact damage? if so meh

There is nothing wrong with pirating if you are unsure if you'll like the game or not so long as you're willing to shell up if you do like it.

I personally disagree, but to each their own. The bigger problem is when someone likes the game but still doesn't support the devs at all.

Yeah, some people (like myself) suck and struggled with his dream fight.

Agreed.

Failed Champion is on a completely different level, that's not the same as struggling with False Knight

Lads, what's a good way to make quick Geo? These unbreakable upgrades are damn expensive and I don't want to progress until I have all 3. I'm not used to actually needing more geo

>dream fight.
The dream version is called Failed Champion

will hornet have costumes in the new game?

Failed Tramway or Colosseum

>fbf hand-drawn animation

fren...

Whoops, forgot the names. If people were actually dying to false Knight then there's no way they gonna survive this dlc

>pirate game
>is shit
>delete it and forget about it
>is good
>buy it
Sounds like a pretty fair approach to me.

The coliseum is the whole reason I'm bothering to get the upgrades in the first place, I'm going to need them to beat Trial of the Fool, which I'm convinced is the hardest non-boss content in the game

user. Equip the dream nail upgrade badge. Whenever you get a chance to isolate an easy enemy in a wave of enemies, dream nail it to maximize your soul storage before moving on to the next wave. Do this and it's a cakewalk.

Except the no ground part, fuck that part.

Kill yourself

"quirrel_death_nail" is a file in hollow knight. That nigga dead.

>You'll lose your souls. All of them. Over and over again.

After 100s of attempts I gave up on NKG and therefore the final pantheons as well.

I did beat Radiance at least.

Yes and no, he left Hallownest, but the implication is that his old age and leaving Hallownest without the sword would mean his death

Is this a prequel or did Hornet drop her powers in a gutter?

>the fag will keep doing this every year
Oh, im laffin

They really didn't show all that much. Basically the equivalents of Forgotten Crossroads and a bit of Greenpath.

Mossfag thinks it might be a prequel but I really hope not. I don't expect many ties to the original storyline anyway, but still, I'd prefer to continue and see more of the world, not have it lead up to HK.

A brother should not be condoning this kind of relationship

It's a Sequel to the Events what happened in Hollow Knight.

Sequel. She had all her equipment stripped prior to being transported.

NKG is easy after you learn what each attack looks like. They are all well telegraphed and you can dodge and counter them the exact same way every time. Not much reason to even get hit when fighting him.

>Did hornet drop her powers in a gutter
She did fall from quite a height after being imprisoned and being carted away, probably with no food or water during that time
She seems to collapse out of exhaustion and not some spell or some bullshit in the demo as well

All bosses are like that, really, at worst Radiance with a bad RNG can be terrible, but once you get used to them even the last pantheon can be beaten consecutively

Grimm is a cool dude

You can also parry heals in Bloodborne

talking of which... Do you think they'll put in a boss that can heal itself? that would be proper kino, having to keep the pressure on.

The soul is so real

Ghost's expressionless face is kind of golden in a way. I know he is meant to have fear, but the whole no face thing makes all the extreme shit he does look so casual and it's great.

So the spiders bound some horrible thing in this kingdom to be their servant, didn't they? Maybe they feared the Radiance's reprisal if she ever pursued them.

Just give me the same map system than in the first game so I can actually explore for myself without a hand-holding automap telling me where to go every single second.
That's all I ask.

Daily reminder that other indie devs were bitching about the price of Hollow Knight, so much so that one went onto their discord to tell them they're fucking up the pricing for all indie games now.

Nice. Got a screencap?

That's nice. Hollow Knight is pretty much the only indie worth of it's price.

I don't, never had the chance to screencap it. I'm sure there's some other anons out there that might have it though

thank youu

Jesus fuck, man, this is a blue board!

>Knight is solid, methodical, and steadfast
>Hornet is nimble, agile, and acrobatic

Zote is a motherfucking god-tier beast who deserves DLC long before Lace. He got robbed during the Kickstarter.

Do you by any chance remember when did it happen? If they didn't delete the messages it could probably be easily found in the server.

Are you all ready for Lace's hyper mode where she just commits a full fucking omni slash on the entire screen that you have to dodge?

Ow ouch my heart

>love Hollow Knight's world and aesthetic, really enjoy just exploring, super excited to play as Hornet since she was my favorite character
>don't give a fucking shit about le ultra hard difficulty meme
I'm so tired of this

80% of the game at least is for you, quit complaining. Also, learn how to enjoy a solid boss fight, nerd.

no specific dates, think it happened around the time Grimm Troupe was released

Tough boss fights are fine but I don't have the energy to memorize a 90 second dodging pattern to get one hit in and repeat 25 times anymore

wow very dark soul-y game

ant (female) like pitou

It truly is the Sekiro Soulsborne Gaiden of indie metroidvanialikes

I'll never beat the last DLC or the harder Grimm fight, but I love the game for the Metroidvania aspects. The concept of harder versions of bosses just for the sake of harder versions has no appeal to me.

Nothing that we've seen so far appears to be that hard. The first game wasn't that ballbusting hard either apart from the DLC stuff and last boss fight.

Yeah that's my thing I absolutely love the world, art design, progression, combat, etc but the dlc stuff in particular just felt super hard for the sake of being super hard. I was really hoping for new areas to explore and traversal mechanics and stuff and I got a boss rush mode instead

Nothing in hollow knight is hard unless you don't know how to build, so many people finishing the 40 boss patheon shows that.

Get off here and stay off. /reddit/ general

>so many people
>only 1% of players have gotten the Embrace the Void achievement
Stop being elitist.

1% is a lot considering a lot of people don't even bother attempting post-game stuff.

Most of the bugs in HK don't have real life counterparts.

>only 1% of players

Can't get more egalitarian than that.
