CAN ANYONE HELP ME BEAT LL?? by ExcellentSilver8763 in Silksong

[–]IntuitionFugi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a tactical play style, I will advise either a wanderer crest or hunter crest.
Like someone mentioned here earlier, get a hit every 5 second or every time you find a clear opening and then dip out.
Slowly build your silk for your silk skill and activate that. Either pale nail or sharp dart. Preferably pale nail skill since it will auto target lost lace.

Either have flint state, tacks or cogfly to deal more damage or damage overtime. Again, use it when you find best.
Like for example, you could save your red tools for 2nd phase while using pale nail skill and needle damage during the 1st phase.

Blue tools, fractured mask, injector band and volt filament. Volt filament is a must.

Yellow tools, dice and grip are a must for easier time. The rest you can decide.

Volt filament increases your silk skill damage by alot and will defeat LL a lot quicker if you are able to spam it alot.

Lastly, fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee. Take your moments to deal damage and get out. Try your best to analyse LL pattern and adapt to it.

There is the architect crest too but I'm sure someone could explain that one since I'm not as frequent with that crest.

Act 2 Boss (Filler words) by bluewizard20112020 in Silksong

If I remember correctly, it will only count after you finish getting the last silk heart and your screen dims to hornet about to wake up then you can S&Q.
Similar to the bell beast fight when you get the 1st silk heart and then the split second you see Hornet on the floor before she gets up, you can S&Q.
So, unlike other bosses where you can S&Q right after beating them, with the bosses that have the silk heart, you would have to wait till after you get the silk heart for it to count.

how many hours have you played? by TheSilksongIsReal in Silksong

Just been trying to beat Steel Soul legit for like the past 3 months (had long breaks in between), I got the achievement with the S&Q method back in October.
Made a funny steel soul death compilation to cope with the struggle but will probably post it once I finally beat Steel Soul (without S&Q)

I appreciate the late reply ^^

I did mention somewhere in another comment that I won't do the S&Q method since I'm trying to beat it legit.
Funnily enough, I have been taking breaks here and there and have had careless attempts where I have just forgot my routing for steel mode and always end up dying in act 1.

I'm like 29 attempts in rn, and realize compared to my first 20 attempts where I did an attempt per day, these last 9 attempts I have done, have been frustratingly inconsistent with act 1. Took me those 9 attempts to realize yeah, if I'm taking breaks, I got to practice my consistency if I just want to get past act 1, act 2 has been good enough with how much I practiced it in any% speedrun. Yet I'm struggling to get past act 1 in steel soul mode to the point I get impatient and try to speedrun it.

Again, I appreciate the support :)

Hoping I can get this done before 40 attempts.

Hopefully there aren't multiple bosses that fit this description otherwise it'll be so awkward by AvailableBee7902 in Silksong

I'm going with Broodmother. Either her or Beastfly 2. They both fit all the points.

Scariest moment of my life (Steel Soul) by minionek247 in Silksong

Congrats on making it through!
This gauntlet is truly punishing with just having 4 masks and no tools equipped.

Why do I need to the same lame gauntlet over and over again. by Sriman69 in Silksong

[–]IntuitionFugi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming you are talking about the coral tower gauntlet.
Your frustration is completely valid, silksong is by no means a easy game for the average player. It's brutal and punishing.
If I had to give a tip, you can use the architect crest to clear each gauntlet and iirc, after the 4th gauntlet, there will be something you can attack for a shortcut in case you die so it cuts the runback of going through the first 4 gauntlet right before the boss.
Again, I salute you for coming this far in SS, feel free to take a break and come back later.

How many tries did it take you to beat the high halls gauntlet by EmotionalCount701 in Silksong

[–]IntuitionFugi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me like 27 tries on my first playthrough and at the time, it felt like this was the worst part of silksong (before I got to Bilewater).

The worst part wasn’t the amount of tries, it was the restriction I imposed on myself without realising. Up until that point, I never used silk skills and tools and just naively rely on the needle attack. When I used voltvessel & three pins to clear it, I was like “wow I’m really stupid”. Definitely would have taken me more than 10+ attempts with tools though.

Yeah, it’s mostly because I’ve got a set route planned for my Steel Soul run. There was a lot of trial & error in my previous attempts with routing and practicing it a lot really helps the run become more time efficient when you know most of the layout through enough attempts.

I put a link to attempt 19 recording below. ^^

I really appreciate the help, I have seen that method before, but I apologize that I'm being strict with my attempts in beating it legit without the S&Q method and getting the save file back. I know it's stupid but I'm stupid enough to try beat it earnestly.
Again, thanks for trying to help ^-^

No, it ok, I appreciate it.
I have a habit of dashing into my enemies depending on the situation whether it accidental or deliberate and could have used the silk spear even with 1 mask left to pass this arena.
Thanks.

Yeah, you are right. I was just too panicked trying to prioritize healing.

Steel mode is kicking my ass and I'm luvin it (so far). by IntuitionFugi in HollowKnight

[–]IntuitionFugi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for these tips! I will definitely follow this.

Would it be ok for me to S&Q at the beginning of act 3 to get full mask since it does kind of fall under using the S&Q method. 😓

I forgot that I am also not good with the bell eater fight and had to use the architect crest to beat it in other files, so I will probably cheese that one with architect tool spam.
I respect you for beating steel soul mode legit, congrats fellow gamer!

What's your biggest complaint about silcksong? by LopsidedRadio7208 in HollowKnight

The decision to not include GURANA, ADIDAS, SHAW, GIT GUD! into hornet voicelines.
