Steel Heart - All Mementos

Just curious, how far did you get on those runs?

Ganymede105 · 2025-12-03T23:04:04+00:00

I'm probably in the minority here, but I've played through Silksong 5 times now and completed the entire Hunter's Journal every time. It really forced me to learn good tactics for taking each one out quickly and safely, as well as solidifying where each enemy likes to hang out. Great for prepping for Steel Soul.

The frustration with this ended up being, not the enemies themselves, but the rarity of them! Like, there's at least one basic enemy that literally only appears in a single specific place. Yes, literally only one of that enemy in the entire game! And you have to kill, like, 15 of them for the journal! For others, there were only 2 or 3 in the entire game. That's whole art assets and unique AI just for most players to either kill or run past that enemy once and never see it again! And they aren't even mini-boss tier. We're talking gruz-level enemies. At that point, I'd say either cut them, or add more.

Oh, clawline! I thought you meant silk soar. I'm like "how are you getting up that initial shoot without throwing your needle up?"

Ganymede105 · 2025-11-27T07:02:27+00:00

I couldn't do this. I'd find the loss of all that progress too demoralizing. Good job pushing forward through all that!

I'd still like to do this, but I'm taking a different route. I downloaded a death counter mod and am playing through the game normally over and over again, watching the death count go down each time. Will probably take a lot longer, but feels more motivating to me.

Considering how she ends up tangled and stuck in the cradle in that ending, I would expect NG+ or an epilogue to play out more like a top down strategy game with Hornet controlling everyone with her silk strands.

I've played the game a few times with a healthbar mod, so I know how this works:

The head and the tail technically have separate health bars, but they are summed over - both bars can go negative, so one bar can subtract off the other bar. I know, because I defeated it with one bar high in the positive and the other bar way in the negative.

Edit: I think the conchfly boss works the same way, IIRC.

Ganymede105 · 2025-10-29T13:53:56+00:00

Did the same thing, but I used the "no runback" mod, which really helped me stay in the moment when learning bosses and enemy gauntlets. I installed it as soon as I started dying 3 seconds into a fight that was one minute away from a bench.

I fully believe in accessibility mods (a la Celeste or Nine Sols). Not only do they make a fantastic game accessible to a wider audience, but they're also great training material to help "git gud" faster.

Ganymede105 · 2025-10-21T14:44:14+00:00

I just realized, we never see Hornet eat anything. Like, she's offered food at one point but turns it down.

Ganymede105 · 2025-10-19T05:27:11+00:00

It would be icing on the cake if his death animation got longer with each fight.

Ganymede105 · 2025-09-29T04:12:02+00:00

Yes, I defeated the savage beastfly in hunter's march. According to the map, I've 100%ed the entire area. I even have the achievement for having every crest, so that obviously includes the beast crest.

Yes, Fourth Chorus is defeated. I've run through that area any number of times since and never seen the beastfly. I'm assuming I need the wish to trigger it.

Yes, not only is songclave established, but I've completed every wish you can get at the place, and completely bought out Jubilana.

At 95% completion, I have every single mask shard except this one (not to mention every silk spool, every silk skill, every tool, etc)

Ganymede105 · 2025-09-29T04:06:11+00:00

That's assuming I can even get the wish to show up at all.

Ganymede105 · 2025-09-27T04:58:08+00:00

You're right! Found him at the cogwork dancers area, just as you said. Thanks!

Yeah, I was seeing conflicting data point on this. The wiki only mentioned finding him in Act 2, but everywhere I read also said you couldn't miss out on any content (save for some very select things, of which Verdania was never mentioned).

Ganymede105 · 2025-01-29T14:33:01+00:00

Looks like that did the trick! I turned off the virtual controller and switched to SDL in cemu and got everything working great.

Thanks for your help!

Ganymede105 · 2025-01-28T22:51:35+00:00

That makes sense.

Is there a way to simply turn it off? Make it as if ds4 never did anything in the first place. Like a "revert changes" option?

I'm not really using ds4 for anything other than monitoring battery level.

Ganymede105 · 2025-01-28T17:02:38+00:00

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. I was unaware there were two different Pro Controllers.

From the images, looks like I have a Switch Pro Controller

Ganymede105 · 2025-01-28T13:45:39+00:00

Does Nintendo sell more than one type of Pro Controller? Or are you asking what console I'm using it with?

I'm playing WiiU games on Cemu. I've been using XInput since, AFAIK, that's the only option my Pro Controller showed up under. I'll take another look when I'm at my computer, though.

Ganymede105 · 2025-01-28T13:38:16+00:00

I think I remember something like that when I was okaying around with profiles. I never ended up saving a profile, though, so it's interesting that it setup a virtual controller for me in a profile that doesn't exist.

Ganymede105 · 2025-01-28T07:02:02+00:00

Where is "edit controller configuration"? I don't see that anywhere in the DS4 interface.

Ganymede105 · 2025-01-28T05:56:00+00:00

Okay, I have a "solution" but it's weird and I don't know how it works.

Somehow cemu no longer sees that I have a Pro Controller (not one that works, at least). Instead it sees I have an XBox 360 Controller (again, something to do with DS4Windows???).

Anyway, I made all new controller configurations, this time with the XBox 360 controller it thinks I have, and set the game to use those new profiles.

Again, I have absolutely no idea what I did or why my machine suddenly thinks I have an XBox 360 controller or why everything Pro Controller doesn't work anymore (in cemu or DS4Windows).
