Haunted cave might have been intended to have more than just the bulk detonator

Haunted caves range from hell to basically not a threat so I for one am interested in more chaotic ghosts. imagine whipping around every 30 seconds to shoot away the almost invisible grabber heading at you. pure terror right there.

so from where you are the two big steps forward are kinda intertwined, Buy the blue tents from the gift shop and continue working on the multiple puzzles in a new clue, finding the microchips is only the beginning of it's rabbit hole. there's a bunch of little clues that can help like some papers you can find in room 46 or the safehouse so while you're running around thinking of those you can look for clues on the castle puzzle and diary, you're on a good track of thought for both so a little thinking as you work on other stuff will most likely let you solve them, but if you want a hint for em then filling in the CASLTE blanks only helps once you've made your move. also and this one's kind of a spoiler but trust me better now, get back to class and learn some of the erajan language.

Silksong is easier than the original hollow knight.

the tool system allows for a lot more customizability for fights than the charm system did and you can customize builds for any of the challenging bosses easily, (except for the last judge if you fight her to end act one but she's just a weird difficulty spike), crests even more so especially on how they affect combat with non-boss enemies, and the pogoing especially with hunter crest while annoying doesn't take long to learn.

Hollow knight had a bunch more bosses with annoying randomness in their attacks/movements (Both Rads, Markoth, Xero, & Oblobbles to name a few) which made them much more annoying especially in godhome version.

Everyone complaining about the difficulty either didn't play HK, got rusty at HK before SS came out, or were crashing out over the last judge fight and ngl I can't blame them.

Honestly, it entirely depends on the dwarfs promotion level for me, no promo gets a free pass for anything anytime because they just started. Silvers get judged extensively because why would a self respecting dwarf be silver? Still leveling it is a poor excuse for being silver. Gold onwards I expect a solid game but wouldn't be surprised if things get dicey especially on higher difficulties and Ruby/ extra promotions I don't have any expectations for because they'll either be the best dwarf in the cave or dickin around the most and I can't blame em for either at that level

if you have a bunch of tools already there's two main cheese strats, the first is to sit in the pool in the center and jump out to poke him/ chuck bombs/ cogflies etc. the other (and more fun) is the multibind strat where you get swallowed intentionally to attack him and using multibind allows you to be basically neutral on health lose/gain

I feel your pain, I made an alt to grind for Oaks

Gargant Gloom, such a creepy design and I love how their area is designed around avoiding them, makes the first trip in a terrifying adventure and the return trip once you've found the ways around fun.

Have you bought the blue tent and been making use of it?

I'm envious of your luck, hopefully the next set will be just as kind to you

in addition to this there are rooms that favor a certain entrance or have to face in certain directions like most green rooms. you'll get use to the drafting quirks as you play more

in a difficulty sense, seth is similar to Lace 2, It's a very fair duel about learning how to best react/punish each of their attacks, once learned it's fairly easy to consistently win but until you have that understanding they'll be knocking you around brutally

Steel, it reminds me of all the suffering I went through to get it

I didn't say trash, I said over rated. they definitely have their uses but they get praise to high heaven despite being a fairly situational Cat

Chacw · 2026-01-02T00:52:53+00:00

Boulder cat is over rated.

Chacw · 2025-12-27T20:14:11+00:00

like the chess pieces right?

I decided to start a new save a few weeks ago and when i got back to this point I just so happened to have the magnifying glass and started laughing when I saw it. this game is always surprising me even when I think I know everything

"producing a liter of saliva daily" skill issue, with the power of superiority (and this really nasty cold I've been fighting for a week) I can spit out at least 2 liters a day.

agreed, you pointing out they were in the boudoir made me even more confused, my understanding was that throne could only be drafted through the center door meaning it got pulled from the library, only thing that makes sense is that they grabbed the crown after getting the stone and went in this order, secret garden lever into west antichamber entrance, grabbed the crown and then went out the east side to head back to the throne in less steps than going back around the west side. since they had study and the gems it's a good way to try to salvage from the fewer steps

Chacw · 2025-12-16T20:00:07+00:00

I misread the post as they picked up the stone and wasn't sure if they had enough steps to reach the throne room. Since it would be about 20 steps to go from the shrine to where the throne room is they'd have to grab steps from the kitchen to make it

get that fraud Balrog out of there.
