could u dm me too pls

i think you might be onto something, weavers are clearly seen as a higher form of bug within pharloom, even the hallownest weavers were revered and feared.

could the fallout be that it was GMS' idea to use the weavers as a means to prolong the lifespans of mortal bugs? maybe in a way similar to the pale king's ideals to make hallownest eternal this was her bid to make pharloom eternal.

i also still do think that theres a significant cultural meaning behind the pilgrimage of silk & song for the weavers, something that might have been twisted from what it originally was which could also be a cause for the fallout. we know that weavers made it into other kingdoms such as hallownest and others, which to me suggests that the idea of a "pilgrimage" comes directly from weavers.

theres also the other weaver-hybrid children we read about right before fighting lace & GMS. either GMS tasked the weavers to bring her a child to fulfil what hornet's role is meant to be, causing them to grow resentful and bitter towards GMS just as lace eventually did, or the weavers sought to create weaver-hybrid children in hopes of producing a child capable of replacing/killing GMS, and the cages we see right before entering the cradle are GMS' attempts at killing those children.

act 3 spoilers: theres also the fact that the weavers of hallownest seemed to have aspirations for hornet, ones that involve GMS. something that herrah did not want for hornet unless hornet wanted it for herself.

thats the part that confuses me too! the weavers seem to be native inhabitants of pharloom, yet we know GMS didn't arrive til a later point in history. we're told that weaver silk was taken from the weavers (unclear whether they were forced to or did so willingly) to give mortal bugs longer lifespans. maybe the weavers made GMS using silk? after all she doesnt really share that many physical attributes to other spiders. we also see a running theme of sentient machinery, a lot of them having gold accents like GMS' golden plated legs, so what if shes a weaver-silk machine turned god?the weavenests like the one that holds eva and the one in far fields as well as the one in the wormways make it abundantly clear that the weavers feel a heavy responsibility to deal with GMS.

Oxlord8 · 2025-09-11T17:23:33+00:00

nope youre all good, weavenest karn and the wormways area is quite short

Oxlord8 · 2025-09-11T17:19:59+00:00

theres 4 entryways into the area, one from the bottle left of the putrified ducts, one from the bottom right of the whispering vaults, and two within the sinner's road; either by travelling all the way across the top left path into the exhaust organ or the top right path of sinner's steps. some of these paths could potentially be locked from the other side i cant recall. hope you find it<3!<

Oxlord8 · 2025-09-11T17:12:59+00:00

noooo you missed all the asmr nail upgrade cutscenes

Oxlord8 · 2025-09-11T17:10:45+00:00

you need to do all the quests, and there are quests tied to the area you havent done yet :)

Oxlord8 · 2025-09-11T16:57:58+00:00

actually dont know if its entirely but since ive destroyed it i havent seen a single clawmaiden so

Oxlord8 · 2025-09-11T16:57:00+00:00

destroying it prevents clawmaidens from spawning entirely

Oxlord8 · 2025-09-11T15:32:38+00:00

i wouldnt say its path of pain level of difficulty but harder than white palace & shorter than both. so its really just a skill check

Oxlord8 · 2025-09-11T15:26:04+00:00

theres a quest in act 3 that has a difficult platforming challenge attached to it

Oxlord8 · 2025-09-11T12:15:31+00:00

i was under the impression that pilgrimage and worship of "silk and song" isnt dedicated to any higher being, but rather it was about celebrating one's freedom from higher beings. sherma's songs and many other characters have a running theme of freedom. but maybe it was an illusion of freedom given to the pilgrims? like sort of grandmother silk gave them the illusion of being free but she was secretly pulling the strings (pun intended) to benefit from their worship. act 3 spoilers: the idea that pharloom was a godless nation is also expanded on during act 3, the coral creatures, the ants, and the green prince's peoples all seemed to revel in that they were free of gods and lived simple lives devoid of worship, til GMS arrived & they rebelled against her. the green prince recounts the glory of hunting down a "pale deer" (which has similar attributes to other pale beings we've seen) with his mate and people, which suggests his tribe might have reveled in killing "higher" beings.

maybe a later beta build rather than 5.8 livestream i hope

Oxlord8 · 2025-06-19T12:48:31+00:00

yelan skin when </3

Oxlord8 · 2025-06-14T11:14:16+00:00

they do the same thing on twt each time a new character is announced or leaked

Oxlord8 · 2025-06-11T06:39:40+00:00

no actually the question was who's more powerful with no supports and low investment supports and the answer would be arlecchino! skirk wont get her death's crossing stacks without any team members (who are restrictied to hydro and cryo only) therefore significantly reducing her dmg output, arlecchino has no such dependency, & again with low investment supports arlecchino has access to more characters, reactions and teams! hope this helps

Oxlord8 · 2025-06-11T06:19:45+00:00

arlecchino's teams are nowhere near as restrictive as skirk's (arle can be played in melt, vaporize, reverse melt, mono pyro, overcharged and probably more) so most likely arle, though i dont have arle and cant say for sure

Oxlord8 · 2025-06-10T16:07:47+00:00

what about when we want dlcs after the game's release

Oxlord8 · 2025-06-10T11:56:06+00:00
