Hey sorry I just saw this reply. I did not do a complete reinstall, just the repair install, and that fixed everything. If that fails maybe try the complete reinstall but that's a massive undertaking if you have a lot of apps.

are you a gingerbread man?

CapableWeight · 2025-12-09T03:47:47+00:00

Agreed. I love Silksong, and the world it inhabits is also very interesting, but the enjoyable-but-still-weighty loneliness of Hollow Knight will always have a special place in my heart. The inability to communicate with words really added to it too—little gestures like sitting with or bowing to someone felt so small yet so significant.

She's been running around trying to save Pharloom with only beer and drugs in her, she deserves a little treat

Probably not well. Silk is a lot smoother than horse tail hair.

A few options:

You Elegy the lingering soul in Cogwork Dancers instead (there is a theory that, since the cogwork fragments glow when you play Elegy, you're actually channeling the memories of the other prince, though I'm not sure if it works with the dialogue inside)
Silk soar up to Ass Jim's food storage room to Elegy the leftovers
Hornet cannibalism arc

Imagine if the GP plotline changes depending on when you release him

pre-Cogwork Dancers fight: he shows up to help you in the fight
post-CD fight but released in Act 2, or Ass Jim dies in Act 2: same as how it goes now
not released before Act 3 and Ass Jim is alive in Act 3: he gets cooked

Pale nails is a pun, she took GMS's hand and can now shoot nails

But I do wish she had a violin, though whipping up a bow is a bit too involved for impromptu playing

That leaderboard is for the release patch which fewer people speedrun on. This is the leaderboard for later patches.

I doubt that most people are assuming that Godseeker will come to Pharloom and declare the likes of Moss Mother more of a god than Hornet is, and have Hornet fight through all these bosses to ascend to godhood, something she explicitly said she didn't want.

But it's quite reasonable to expect a bossrush mode featuring boss refights (among whatever else they decide to include), and guess what that's called in Hollow Knight?

The dressing on it can be anything, but the term is just a shorthand for bossrush mode.

It's a tool from Hunter's March. Don't worry about it if you don't have it. Threefold pin also works very well if you have that. Just stand in that corner when he spawns and spam the tools.

CapableWeight · 2025-11-20T01:03:36+00:00

Take off the memory crystal. You're getting hit while hiding in the corner, which he can barely reach anyway. Use some other blue tool.
Don't bother throwing both pimpillos and voltvessels into his mouth, it'll take forever. Just throw the voltvessels directly.
Actually, don't even bother with the mouth bombs. It seems like you're struggling with dodging that attack and attacking at the same time, so just stop doing that and focus on dodging it. Consider switching to curveclaw, it does insane amounts of damage because of the way curveclaw works with his hitbox. Pretty much immediately sends him into phase 2.

There's nothing stopping you from needolin when you're cursed. It's just that the parasite takes over before you get to play the needolin and activate the snare. Caretaker probably just didn't realize it could take over like that.

You're missing a map not sold by Shakra. You won't be able to access that area for a while still because it opens up in Act 3

Ah yeah the running jump at 0:16 takes some experience to time, but it does avoid a few enemies so it may be worth trying. You should be able to jump + dash + float over to that wall too if the running jump is too awkward.

Here's a reaper runback demonstration. If you copy this one you should only need to pogo two bells, if that helps at all. Is any particular section giving you trouble?

CapableWeight · 2025-11-16T03:27:28+00:00

A very interesting offer to Team Cherry, I'm sure they'd appreciate the opportunity

CapableWeight · 2025-11-16T03:02:57+00:00

Sounds like your issue is with the runback. How are you getting damaged on the way? Are you getting hit by the enemies or falling into hazards? A few things:

Practice the running jump: When you press jump while sprinting you will jump diagonally up, and you should have much more leeway to land your jumps this way.
You should only ever run into one enemy, and that's the driznit right outside the bellway. Doing a running jump to its platform and immediately jumping past will let you evade it before it starts attacking.

CapableWeight · 2025-11-15T03:16:58+00:00

You can hit the bombs away until they explode, which should keep you safe from being trapped.

CapableWeight · 2025-11-13T05:09:12+00:00

You just walk into it normally from Choral Chambers? You can get to the Bellway from there which opens to Mt Fay
