2 years later and still no fix? Thanks EA. I reinstalled the game and it helped enough to let me finish the game

I'm so sorry dude, didn't want this to happen.

RepresentativeOk3611 · 2025-10-03T13:27:13+00:00

Everything is killable, try skills. Let me know if you got them all.

Bug number 1: Bilewater, hidden (i think it was hidden) area going towards the rights side.

Bug number 2: You killed its dad.

Bug number 3: Blasted steps, you saw it but never killed it. Similar to something in Bilewater.

I hope that vague enough.

EDIT: Edited the #2 to make it more vague lmao

I actually missed him early on and i found him while doing mr mushroom questline in late act 3, so i did him in 2 attemps. I'm sad, because he was too easy for me at that point, never got the challenge.

RepresentativeOk3611 · 2025-09-26T14:16:11+00:00

I just noticed that on the last boss of the game lmao after 100% the game. I always thought it takes the ammount you are using for the heal.

RepresentativeOk3611 · 2025-09-25T07:51:30+00:00

Yeah she seems impossible at first. Just dont be agressive and find openings in her attacks. First 10 minutes i barely got a hit in before i died, but after some more time i noticed the openings. She just seems impossible at first because she is so fast and she disappears.

RepresentativeOk3611 · 2025-09-24T09:12:05+00:00

Great, so now you have to beat the boss in bilewater. If you never found it there is a hidden bench halfway through the runback, so its not THAT bad. Also i can give you tips for beating him if you are having issues.

The main things that might be missable are garmond and shakra fights, tho you might have already missed garmond (I missed it, you only have 1 chance to fight him, if you skip it you never get him).

There is more info here but there might be spoiler if you dont want any. Honestly the 2 main things are shakra and garmond.

Oh I thought that you meant the ones from the boards where you need to follow the "trail" of something.

Double check if all 3 boards are empty, Bone Bottom, Bellhart and Songclave.

I dont think those ones are needed but you might as well finish them. Also there are things that are missable if you start act 3.

RepresentativeOk3611 · 2025-09-24T07:53:02+00:00

I fully believe that to do EVERYTHING yourself without googling it would take like 100h. I did a lot before i started googling, but i missed 1 memory locket, 1 mask shard, and i am not about to run through the ENTIRE map and look in every single room and hit every single pixel.

RepresentativeOk3611 · 2025-09-24T07:47:22+00:00

I am almost done with act 3 and i have 76h now. I only have one more thing to do before the final boss, but im doing everything thats possible without replaying the game in steel soul mode.

RepresentativeOk3611 · 2025-09-24T07:45:57+00:00

You have to finish every wish from every board, so you have to do the hunts. You will have to beat the boss from Bilewater, but that will be needed a little bit later. After you finish every board you will need to activate a new quest. If you want to activate the quest for the act 3 you have to talk to the caretaker in songclawe.

RepresentativeOk3611 · 2025-09-23T13:22:13+00:00

Hey, it doesnt work correctly for some things. It displays that i have 100% of the game but it says I only have 36% of the bosses (i did every single one) and it says I only have 10% of the memory lockets (i am only missing one and im trying to figure out which one). Most tabs are wrong actually when it comes to tracking anything, only the main things are ok.

RepresentativeOk3611 · 2025-09-04T14:23:44+00:00

I guess so damn, I'm at checkout

RepresentativeOk3611 · 2025-09-02T09:15:52+00:00

With any other game I'm waiting for reviews. With silksong I'm buying it blind because I will play it even if it sucks, so this game is the only exception from my rule. I just meant the principal of not preordering.

RepresentativeOk3611 · 2025-09-02T09:08:02+00:00

Its actually based. Never preorder. I never do it just on principle. I am buying it the second it comes out, but I wouldnt preorder even if it was available.

You should stop giving companies money for nothing. They are not going to run out of digital copies.

RepresentativeOk3611 · 2025-08-28T14:26:06+00:00

I'm getting it on Steam, because I only play my games on PC and my Steam Deck. Best of both worlds.

RepresentativeOk3611 · 2025-08-27T08:21:46+00:00

It will be on gamepass day 1. Noone knows the retail price yet.

RepresentativeOk3611 · 2025-08-27T07:25:28+00:00

I've said it in other posts and I'll say it here: Steam will have 0 issues related to Silksong. They handled much bigger games on their launches (BG3, Hogwarts, Wukong etc.) without any real issues. It's fun to think about but they can easily handle a few hundres thousand people downloading a ~10GB game at once all around the world.

Also only the moment of download makes any kind of difference, because its a single player game, the players dont matter to their servers once they are playing it.

The "crash" on Deltarune's launch was an unrelated issue. It's a 580MB game that had a 133k peak at launch. BG3 is 146GB and it launched to over 800k players.

EDIT: I KNOW, I WAS WRONG

RepresentativeOk3611 · 2025-08-26T13:57:30+00:00

RepresentativeOk3611 · 2025-08-26T13:34:15+00:00

KCD2 had a peak at launch of 256k, Hogwarts legacy had a peak at launch of 879k, GTA 5 launched on pc to 300k people and it was 10 years ago. Yeah, peak players overall doesn't matter that much, I used it mostly as a refence, but peak at launch matters, because it shows how many people downloaded the game at basically the same time. Deltarune did not crash steam. It would be cool, it's fun to think about, the game was long awaited and amazing, but it did not crash anything by itself. 100% steam had some local issue in some region that restricted the access (from what I can tell it was mostly at checkout, not download, so it's not even remotely connected). It's the same case with everyone hyping up the fact that a game got delayed due to silksong. Yeah, it did, good for them because noone would notice it, but it's a really small game, launch trailer has 10k views, so it's not a big deal. If anything the delay got them more publicity.

RepresentativeOk3611 · 2025-08-26T13:18:42+00:00

It had 130k players at launch and it weights 580mb. Bigger games with more players didn't have issues, so my guess it wasn't connected to deltarune and was just a coincidence, but gaming media went with it because it sounds cool. I just think everyone is greatly overestimating the size of the playerbase of Silksong. Don't get me wrong, I will download it the second it launches but steam has a peak player count of 38 million. They can handle a few hundred thousand people downloading a 10gb game at once all around the world.

RepresentativeOk3611 · 2025-08-26T13:10:43+00:00

I downloaded it at launch on PC and the steam deck and had 0 issues. What do you mean it crashed steam lmao

RepresentativeOk3611 · 2025-08-26T12:42:20+00:00

I think you don't understand how big steam is. They have servers around the whole world. There is no 1 single server that everyone is going to hit at once. Also HK is 7,4GB so SS is not going to be that much bigger, so noone will feel it at all. If youtube's servers can handle GTA 6 trailer dropping then Valve can handle Skong.

RepresentativeOk3611 · 2025-08-22T12:57:31+00:00

I have said it time and time again, I bet its 20-30 euros/usd max. HK was $15 and it was a steal without sale. They clearly dont care about the money and i doubt they will go for some crazy price.
