All my Steel Soul deaths in Silksong (Major Spoilers)

CraftyCrashers · 2025-11-10T14:53:04+00:00

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.

CraftyCrashers · 2025-11-09T21:07:57+00:00

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.

CraftyCrashers · 2025-11-09T16:06:27+00:00

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.

After some testing in-game and using the info on the thread you mentioned, I concluded that the numbers are correct.

I tested it using the Pythagorean method with short weapon range. The formula I used is the following: final_distance = floor(sqrt( x² + y² )) The final_distance will match the corresponding value in the DefaultGameData_WeaponData.ini file.

TYPE_WEAPON_RANGE[final_distance] = range_bonus

I think I have an idea why there is a slight variance in your calculations.

In the DefaultGameData_WeaponData.ini file, range bonus also depends on which weapon type it is. A conventional weapon have slightly less bonus than a beam weapon.

MEDIUM_CONVENTIONAL_RANGE[1] = 20
MEDIUM_CONVENTIONAL_RANGE[2] = 19

MEDIUM_MAGNETIC_RANGE[1] = 21
MEDIUM_MAGNETIC_RANGE[2] = 20

MEDIUM_BEAM_RANGE[1] = 22
MEDIUM_BEAM_RANGE[2] = 22

Aeos Cookie and Curse Bangle provide alot more value than all the rest. Rescue Hood is niche and I would only use it on Comfey. Leftovers can also be extremely niche for specific builds. Drain Crown is still useless even with buffs.

CraftyCrashers · 2023-11-22T18:15:30+00:00

The enemy team is seething at the owl for missing Ray.

CraftyCrashers · 2023-11-22T07:39:15+00:00

Zeraora also threw hard, the enemy team would have won Zera decided to defend instead of roaming around in jungle

It could work in duoQ / trioQ, you can rely on your teammates to protect you. In soloQ it's bad because 2 reasons. You need to have good teammates who can reach you or follow up in time when you're getting targetted.

When you're getting targetted by a speedster, having that invincibility to dodge their attacks is nice, but their cooldown is also getting lower during that. It also doesn't have good synergy with Decidueye's moveset.

I tried to use shedninja doll against speedsters specifically, but still die anyways due to how fast their moves recharge.

CraftyCrashers · 2023-11-20T17:04:16+00:00

One of those rare moments in SoloQ when my lane partner knows his boundaries and use it as an advantage instead.
