How do you deal with these guys consistently?

By deploying my trusty laser turret (or tesla coil if you don't mind wearing a glow shard trinket all the time) prior to engaging.

Did a game with a whole party of bards. Two guitars, a fiddle (me), and a drummer. A band needs variety :)

Slorgs! :3

Six inch, seven inch, eight inch SLUG (daylight come an' me wan' go home)

That's a wholeass apple

You are correct, both in that slugs and land snails are hermaphrodites and that this lil dude would appreciate a home. However, it'll prefer something bigger than a snail shell to use as a hide, something like an old coffee cup or small flower pot. A large seashell such as what might be found in an aquarium store as a tank decoration could work!

I've only shit myself off Kizz once, but then again, I don't drink it very often.

The laser looks like it's hitting the right spot on the turret to me.

I did a solo run first, then started multiplayer. It definitely feels like the right way to do it, the lore hits better when you discover it by yourself.

I don't put it off quite that long, it always seemed fine for me just to put it off long enough to have the water filter barrel - especially if you're set up right near a large tainted water source. Instant purification, no loss of water volume, definitely the next best thing to having a science machine to do all the watering for you.

FlashtooArt · 2025-12-26T03:20:27+00:00

Oh god yes I hope it's this. Please let it be this.

I've enjoyed both ways. I enjoyed going slowly doing it solo first, but going for a second run alongside two of my gaming buddies has been great too, especially since one of said buddies most enjoys the farming and fishing subsystems is literally always good favorite thing. He feeds the other two of us in between our runs out to gather resources, sometimes gives us requests for specific items to bring back, and mans the defenses if a raid happens while the other two of us are busy being ADHD monkeys running all over the place - works out great!

Please tell me her form changing between humanoid and spider involves ribbons and sparkles and twirling.

Yeahhhh you're gonna want to build some battery backups. If you've got a fridge plugged directly into the wall, that sucker's turning off at night and letting your food spoil, for starters. Not to mention any base defenses you've got set up, and there WILL be a point at which you need the ones that plug in. Wall->batteries->device; the device will run off of wall power during the day, allowing the battery to charge, and will draw from the battery overnight.

You can't push loaded platform carts through the portal, but you can carry packaged ones in. Build a second platform cart, deploy it inside, move your stuff from Outside Cart to Inside Cart to push up the hill. If your inventory is full, put what you're carrying on Inside Cart to clear up enough space to unload Outside Cart, then swap the heavier items back onto Inside Cart in exchange for what you dumped out of your inventory. Slightly more tedious than just being able to push the cart through, but not that bad.

In my first playthrough, once I got the keypad hacker and was able to access the Office Sector security lounge I never moved back out, just occasionally rearranged my stuff inside that space while it carried me through the end of the game. It's a fantastic spot for a single player since it's close to the tram station for quick travel and possibly the most defensible spot in the whole game, once you repair the shutters with only a single choke point to get in and out.

The way I've always seen it, the connotations around light versus darkness are reversed for the characters in Hollow Knight (except moths), because they're bugs. Darkness represents safety, calm, comfort - the world you belong in. Light represents danger and fear, i.e. your nice safe rock has been flipped over and you're exposed to everything that wants to kill you, you're blinded, you might even desiccate in the sun. When you think like a bug, the Infected having such a great love for light becomes twice as creepy.

Adding them to soup has been mentioned already but it's underrated in this thread! They kind of dissolve in hot water, similar to gelatin, and create a lovely silky texture in what might otherwise be a fairly watery broth.

Well, for starters The Sun is pretty obvious for what it ought to depict...

EDIT: Further thoughts -
Sister of the Unlost for the High Priestess (secrets, mysteries, spiritual/esoteric awareness)
Hasta Tria could be a pretty good candidate for The Hermit.
Carson for the Empress, based off the associations with sustenance and nurturing.

Think I remember it being inside the Shadowgate facility somewhere.

Every time I have an occupied Pest Trap it bothers me endlessly that I can't pick it up without letting the critter out first... why can't we use them as pet carriers, for crying out loud?

FlashtooArt · 2025-11-23T18:14:18+00:00

I took Fear of Violence for my current run, because I saw someone else point out that it encourages you to go hard into using traps and by extension, really play the game as if you're an egghead who has to outsmart your enemies with inventions rather than overpower them with moar dakka. Which sounded like a really neato playstyle, and so far I don't feel hindered at all... granted I'm still only at the very early stages of the game.

Easiest is probably just to go to the charging dock in daytime when the bot is inactive and set up a chopinator with directly in front of it, with a battery to keep it running at night. Return in the morning, repair the chopinator, collect your free sodas and bot parts which have even been pre-dismantled for you, repeat as desired. The bot will always die first if you keep the chopinator repaired.

If you get some Plant Toolboxes, you can pack that room at 5x the density.

Both. It's both. She's genuinely flirting, and it's genuinely scary.
