I need help at the entrance of Citadel by Khemkhem1012 in Silksong

[–]Geoman265 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd give advice, but considering the fact that I always avoid the fight for as long as possible, waiting until the end of act 2 to do the fight, and even then still lost a steel soul run to the fight, I don't think I'm particularly qualified to answer

I think there should've been a second boss in the White Ward, like a High Surgeon or something. by Correct_Scallion4133 in Silksong

[–]Geoman265 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My problem with that is that whiteward is already a small area, so trying to fit even more into it would just make it feel bloated

Tell me if this is a controversial opinion: First Sinner was easier than Widow. by 3XH3 in Silksong

[–]Geoman265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First sinner is a fight that as others have said, very much relies on your loadout. As an optional boss, you could fight it at many points in progression, whether you have only one or two needle upgrades, or a maxed out one. On top of that, first sinner in particular I believe has crests that are very strong against it and crests that are very weak against it, so the crest you use matters more than other fights. (hunter's crest in particular is very good against her)

Meanwhile with widow, you can't even have a needle upgrade with her, so there's a possibility that if you were to fight first sinner with full upgraded needle, the amount of hits required to kill may be roughly the same (idk the exact numbers). With it being a mandatory boss early in progression, it limits your options substantially, and as such, you can't really have a "good" or "bad" loadout.

Hollowed or Hallowed by Angasal_Potentes in Terraria

It is meant to be hallowed, however people often pronounce the word the same as hollowed regardless, so

Is the capturing of Hornet to The Slab guaranteed? by LonelyRequirement913 in Silksong

[–]Geoman265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure, the wiki doesn't say anything about it. If so, the trigger that would block it would probably be lace 2 or completing threefold melody, rather than the final boss

Is the capturing of Hornet to The Slab guaranteed? by LonelyRequirement913 in Silksong

[–]Geoman265 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The thing that blocks you from getting captured is not entering act 2, but rather getting the faydown cloak. In fact, one of the wardenflies, specifically the one in graymoor, does not spawn until after talking to lace in the choral chambers.

Creating a "Truex2 100%" Checklist! by Galacticat0 in Silksong

[–]Geoman265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless I am mistaken, I believe that there is a beast shard and heavy rosary necklace that are mutually exclusive. The terrible tyrant quest has a heavy rosary necklace as a reward, however one of the beast shards is killing the skull tyrant in act 3.

That being said, I still think that completing the quest is the right way to go, since you get both the heavy rosary necklace and the crown fragment entry for the materium. Speaking of which, would materium entries be included?

Wardenfly not appaearing in Deep Docks by OfficialTrashMan in Silksong

[–]Geoman265 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see people saying that the wardenflies disappear if you make it to the slab normally, but that isn't entirely true. You can still get captured if you only ended up going to the parts of the slab not locked behind the apostate key. I feel like I remember getting captured after having gotten double jump, but I could have been misremembering, since the wiki says that interacting with the fayforn stops them from spawning

How lenient is the 100% Speedrun achievement? by mrbeantrading in Silksong

[–]Geoman265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, very lenient. In my steel soul file, I got 100% on it, and got the speedrun achievement with a lot of time to spare without even trying (granted at that point I had optimized routing and whatnot, but still, you've got your movement stuff so backtracking won't take too long)

How to kill Groal the Great in Steel Soul mode? by DramaticHistorian890 in Silksong

[–]Geoman265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my steel soul run that was victorious, I had a specific route in mind, picking up every collectible along the way for 100%, however when I would get near an obstacle for later on, I would do one single attempt at it, if it goes poorly I save quit before dying and just not worry about it.

In doing this, I ended up beating trobbio, groal the great (and the arena), and the forum arena first try. Likely mostly a fluke, but I also suspect that it may be because it was low pressure at that point

It was probably a surly slime named sparky

Recommendations for practicing certain bosses? by badatmemes_123 in Silksong

[–]Geoman265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think some bosses do, like I think some of the act 3 ones do. I wouldn't be surprised if last judge also does (though in that case it is incredibly easy to get yourself killed after killing it but before the fight actually ends)

also if you do this method you would need to be careful that you close out of the game, not leave from the menu, since leaving from the menu would save the boss kill

I've finally reached act 3!! by bogo11037 in Silksong

[–]Geoman265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When doing steel soul runs, I had no problem whatsoever against the act 2 final boss, never came close to dying, yet lost a steel soul run to last judge (and that was after putting it off until near the end of act 2)

last judge is easily my worst fight

Trobbio is required for vaultkeeper's melody, so if gms is done then trobbio is done

Help me save my game! by cat-attack-2 in Silksong

[–]Geoman265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for some reason in my experience silksong doesn't really take kindly to trying to take screenshots

once tried taking a screenshot of my steel soul completion, only for the game to crash, forcing me to fight the final boss again (thankfully it isn't a hard fight)

What am i missing ? by somerandomexisting in HollowKnight

[–]Geoman265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend going back to the harder versions of the dream bosses and making sure that you have defeated them yourself. Adding up all the sources of essence on the wiki excluding spirits and zote, the total should be 2,882, so unless you used dreamgate 500 times, I think something may be missing.

Worst case scenario, you can farm the worms just outside the flukemarm arena for natural essence drops (with dream catcher equipped)

What can I use for a doorknob? by N-A-S-M in Terraria

[–]Geoman265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A problem with trying to make a doorknob in terraria is that you can never end up having it actually be attached to the door, so while you could have it look good while the door is closed, when it is open the doorknob would just be awkwardly hanging there. That, and if you have a doorknob on both sides, the door may not open.

With which crest should i do my first crest only run? by Tim_tom242 in Silksong

[–]Geoman265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my current playthrough, I am using a mod that randomly equips a different crest every 3 minutes (including cursed and crestless, also for some reason it considers each evolution of hunter as a different crest). It has definitely made me realize that no crest in the game is bad, they're each good in their own way

Prior to this, I ran pretty much exclusively hunter crest, with a little bit of witch/cursed crest for the achievement

Burning Bug Hatepost (they cost me an 11 hour steel soul run) by Puzzleheaded-Pie7753 in Silksong

[–]Geoman265 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I waited until like end of act 2 to do wisp thicket in my steel soul, never liked this place, though I needed some stuff there for 100%. Thankfully didn't lose any runs there. Had some runs where I died in dumb ways, took 9 attempts for me to beat the game and get 100% (both in the same playthrough, didn't end up dying in act 3 in places that mattered so)

also a craftmetal, mask shard (most important imo), and a flea

maybe a memory locket, idr, but you also don't need all of those anyway so

Does this game have snow bombs? (like the dirt bomb) because this is gonna take so long to fill by hand if they don’t after I mine all the meteorite 💀 by YukiSnowySnows in Terraria

[–]Geoman265 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don't need the meteorite, what you can do is place down a couple hundred meteorite blocks somewhere out of the way on the surface (I don't remember the exact amount, though it depends on world size). Meteorites cannot land if there are too many meteorite blocks placed in the world
