Current Events > Hollow Knight: Silksong General: Tomorrow

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm up to Sister Splinter.

I've only got sprint. I feel like I can almost beat it. My question is should I keep trying, or come back later? I feel like I've gone through heaps of areas but have no abilities/upgrades to show for it.

Also I'm definitely standing on the idea that Silk should be used more aggressively the deeper I get into the game. If you're at full HP (or more than 2 hits from death) spam needle throws. If you're 2 hits from death save half your Silk with the expectation you might need to heal soon. If you're 1 hit from death focus on getting enough Silk to heal. If you're down to your Cracked Mask Save/Quit :P

Crest of the Witch is hands down the most stressful thing I've done in this game so far.

Do yourself a favor, if you find a Twisted Bud, just sit on it and don't give it to anyone.

Cogwork dancers is a phenomonal fight, didn't even expect a 4th phase or it being a sad one.

If you think you can beat that one, it's a good idea to do it. But you should also gave the float ability by that point I think.

Thanks. Where do you get float?

Is there anything useful behind this boss? Need to sleep but I feel like I've hit a brick wall.

The float Im guessing is the cloak upgrade. You have to fulfill a wish in the Far Fields.

As for what you get for defeating Sister Splinter, its the wall jump ability. With that said, you should get some sleep and the cloak upgrade before trying again.

Man just got sent to The Slab. Pretty neat little adventure.

I like some of the little things that happen in the world too. Like I wen t back to Bone Bottom right after and a Skull Tyrant just bulldozed the place. I killed it, but I kind of wonder what happens if you just run away.

Wtf at this gauntlet. I'm in Act 2, and this seems like it might be the hardest thing I've faced so far.

Does anyone know how to get the bench in Sinners Road unstuck?

Check to the left of it I think.

The Hunters Marsh boss is really stupid with the rng.

It's not too bad if he spawns the small bugs but if he spawns those big ones the difficulty shoots waaaay up

I have been trying to beat it fot 2 hours. Motherfucker.

So is the run up to Last Judge supposed to be this obnoxious? The boss seems kind of manageable but the nearest bench is like two tricky platforming screens away and it's kind of obnoxious. There's a spot up north of the second screen that looks like a secret but I couldn't find any way through.

This is what I mean btw

I need to vent about a minor boss.

See post #312

Does he still have friends in that version?

Yes and they're immune to the boss hitbox

Alright well I have gotten fairly okay at the runback but I'm currently too exhausted to do this boss. I can at least reliably reach second phase but she's got some real spicy mix ups that are hard to handle. I think I can get her down when I'm better rested and more focused. I'm having a hard time identifying when the good chances to strike her are during phase 2. She's got the big slam that leaves a nice opening but it's tough to get in a quick strike after she uses the big flaming wheel attack. I've so far been contented to just throw some poison-tipped knives at her, but it feels like if I want her dead I'll need to find a key opportunity to hit her with needle storm. The poison damage is extremely tiny I've noticed (still good, damage is damage after all, but it feels like the 3 ticks combined equal less damage than a single sword strike / knife).

Probably where I call it for the night unfortunately. So let's see. Day 3 Progress Report. All the stuff above, obviously. Pretty tough climb but fun level. Actually on that note. I really love how varied the areas are in this game. Hollow Knight had a limited color pallette (black on black, mostly) to save time on animations and art. It's very clear that Silksong simply...did not do that. Even the drab, grey areas are interesting because of their relationship to the rest of the game which has been full of interesting, saturated locales.

Let's see. I've now got the ability to play music, I know of three doors that that can open, one of which I think I need a better jump or something. Either the aforementioned hookshot or some kind of high jump or double jump. I opened one of them, cleaned the area out for a mask, an upgrade to the default crest, and a charm whose purpose I don't totally understand. It claims to make silk regenerate faster but I'm not sure it's doing anything? I cleared out the Wyrmway or as much as I could for now. Got a neat little Injector thing thing that gives you extra health. Haven't messed around with it though because the guy you have to go to for refills is super deep in the wyrmway and it's just not worth the trip 90% of the time. Oh and I experienced true heartbreak when the little friend who sits at the campfire in the starter town got mauled by a giant monster. I had been checking on the little one for a while to see if they had any new dialogue and poof. Now they're gone.

Found a ton of fleas so far, but I don't know how many more are needed before the caravan is willing to move again. I assume they're probably waiting for a specific story beat in addition to more fleas and the creepy spa owner...

There's a ton of stuff I can do too. There's that area west of The Slab and Sinner's Path.

Im facing the Last Judge right now. Am I near the end of Act 1?
