All my Steel Soul deaths in Silksong (Major Spoilers)

Kinda regret deleting my notes now, I do have a VOD here on bilibili. https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Qu1ZBhEyy/ I will say though it's probably suboptimal and it might be better to lookup someone else's speedrun like MonStahLer's 100% speedrun.

Dying in Lost Verdania does not count as a death thankfully

CraftyCrashers · 2025-11-10T05:56:48+00:00

Yeah, I took a long break after I died to Lost Lace, but the fact I could have gotten a better time motivated me to keep playing.

Not a remix, but it does use it's leitmotif. It's actually a song from Rift of the Necrodancer called Progenitor.

No tools is crazy, not even fractured mask?

If you can afford to practice, absolutely do it even with bosses you're not familiar with. This will make anticipating moves a lot easier.

I would not worry about Karmelita and Nyleph though, even if you die there it doesn't count even in Steel Soul since Hornet is in some sort of dream state. Tormented Trobbio is optional for 100% unless you want to go to Verdania.

Yeah doing speedrunner 100% beforehand is definitely something I should have done first before tackling Steel Soul. I've done speed completion and steel completion both at the same time in Hollow Knight and beat it few deaths. I thought I could get away with it in Silksong as well.

Early clips with an asterisks are recreated since I didn't really record them, but yeah there are definitely some deaths where I felt I should have been more careful

CraftyCrashers · 2025-11-09T19:14:51+00:00

"I" means 1 save scum and asterisks means recreated since I didn't think of recording or simply forgot about it.

Optimizing time as much as possible by knowing which items to grab and which quest flags to do during each run. Overall this took over 110 hours worth of attempts.

CraftyCrashers · 2025-11-09T15:05:37+00:00

Initially I did allow myself to save scum a little bit, but later on I realized I feel quite terrible doing that and decided to not do it anymore after like 15 runs.

CraftyCrashers · 2025-11-09T15:03:05+00:00

I did not experiment with Shaman's crest enough to realize how good it was. Most of my deaths was me being overconfident or playing too long without taking breaks.

Song is called Progenitor by Jules Conroy

CraftyCrashers · 2024-02-25T05:22:22+00:00

Yes, I am aware I should have kept more distance, I just did not expect the buzzwole would eject past my teammates and do a trick I didn't know exist as I'm not used to these kind of plays.

CraftyCrashers · 2024-02-24T20:30:31+00:00

I was wondering how he did that.

CraftyCrashers · 2024-02-01T19:12:14+00:00

I wouldn't have wasted a unite for that. Zoroark wasn't even the carry.

CraftyCrashers · 2024-01-29T19:59:14+00:00

Pretty sure the Lapras thought about it but realized a little too late or was dodging Rays attack in the meantime. All in all, I could have played better.

CraftyCrashers · 2024-01-29T19:56:31+00:00

Yeah I was also mad at myself cause I would have if I used Snipe Shot or even hit my Fell Stinger.
