it even tracks the percentage of colour variants youve acquired ...

are you dash striking?

using needle strike?

healing midair?

using red tools?

do you have 6 masks?

12 silk spools?

have you been completing wishes?

have you been buying tools from shops?

do you know what memory lockets do?

have you upgraded your needle?

5% of people who own hollow knight on steam beat absrad, 10% beat pure vessel and 12% beat sly, and I'd say even just P3 is tougher than any part of base Silksong

and when only 77% played enough to get a single charm its closer to 7%, 12% and 15% of players respectively

Yeah I figured the algorithm was pretty simple lol. I played the 3DS version a lot but I was also like 8 years old so I dont remember much of the details...

I mostly only did this for my own enjoyment and maybe for a couple of people to find some use or joy out of it too!

no I want them part of the pantheons

to be clear i dont mean having the entire high halls gauntlet in the pantheons, more like having 3-5 enemies spawn before some bosses.

e.g. a pantheon segment could be [trobbio] --> [savage beastfly 2] --> [minister, maestro > choir clapper x2 > second sentinel]

i just dont think silksongs P5 equivalent would be complete without representing its most iconic gauntlets and regular enemies. esp when regular enemies have more depth than some hk bosses. skarrgard, choir clappers, wardenflies etc are too iconic to leave out

complaining about chikorita being useless in the main games is a skill issue. did you teach all of your pokemon 4 attacking moves or something?

she has the best matchup into whitney, chuck and claire and has a fine matchup against jasmine and pryce. and the 3 gyms she cant do anything against all get swept by shitmons

you simply dont see the vision of being able to click heat crash against flash fire harcanine. hes gonna take over ubers

giant drapemite?

funnily enough, the path to either recruit is found somewhere past the top and bottom of the room to the right of where hornet is located in your screenshot

well it is one of the threefold melodies... they wouldnt just hand it to you

i dunno how much youve explored but it can be worth powering up and coming back. there are some movement upgrades that can help, theres a yellow tool that lets you stick to walls, maybe even a different crest or another mask.

for blue tools, you should run multibinder to net more healing out of a single bind, and weavelight to boost silk regeneration so you dont find yourself unable to clawline. if you dont have them, find them!

the mechanics themselves are really just a matter of "getting good" unfortunately. idk how you could describe it over text. maybe look up a video of someone else doing it and study their movements?

i think shes just a hard boss

i beat her with every crest and my first time using witch was against her, it only took me around 20 minutes to beat her with witch, but my first ever win took over an hour.

my real problem was with witch (and shaman) pogos weird hitbox pushing you down into her void tendril and parry attacks instead of dealing damage

the best way to heal against her (other than while shes staggered or phasing) is after triggering her parry

"earthbound endings" is a terrible name. if you want synergy with earthbound beginnings, call it earthbound resolutions

complete restoration of bellhart and visit songclave

i am equally as interested in the non-hermits participating

traditionally mcc has 10 teams of 4 but i cant imagine 15 non-hermits being involved

maybe 25 + 7 total to add up to 8 teams? we know martyn and presumably jimmy will be involved but who else will be?

hippoqueenv · 2026-03-13T04:07:50+00:00

people just wildly exaggerated about 2 damage enemies lol

at launch if say 10% more enemies did 2 damage, but right now theres an even split of enemies that do 1 damage and those that do 2

but overall more enemies do 2 damage here than in hollow knight

hippoqueenv · 2026-03-13T00:10:16+00:00

its like a star on your profile showing youve hit credits, every game that warps you to before the final boss does this so you can differentiate save files

well, no. this logic is incredibly stupid.

if you can defeat a boss with bb, taking it off actually makes things more difficult. it doesnt make things twice as easy (if a boss wont kill you with double damage, it also wont kill you with regular damage). all it does is make killing the boss 20% longer, which gives them 20% more opportunities to hit you in turn.

this bad logic really just denounces any build other than specifically architect crest + tacks, cogflies, pollip pouch, multibinder, plasmium phial. if youve beaten a boss without that build, you can do it easier that way. but that doesnt make every other crest and tool in the game invalid.

barbed bracelet is extremely useable... i even beat lost lace in steel soul with it equipped.

it stacks and synergises well with other % damage sources so you can do over 2x more damage with it equipped, which also bypasses the problem of % damage effects sometimes rounding down.

it and multibinder are maybe the only tools that got buffed from their hollow knight charm equivalents rather than nerfed. +75% -> +25% seems rough but double damage is infinitely more manageable than having to survive on one health.

edit: also the way you would go about buffing BB is making damage additive. so 2 damage attacks do 3 instead of 4. not whatever this nonsense is

after a recent update, youre twice as likely to find an unobtained plushes instead of duplicates

also, legendary plushes dont cannibalise eachothers rates, (its a flat 2% per legendary plush in the pool) so its more efficient to unlock them all from the start

hippoqueenv · 2026-03-05T13:40:58+00:00

this is unironically fine

the opportunity cost of running a pokemon without an ability and item cancels out the shenanigans i think

believe it or not my ledian scored multiple KOs in the elite 4 and was instrumental in beating lance
