Double damage in its 1+1 form has an entire animation design philosophy around it, where hornet would be stuck in an extended "getting hit" animation.

For such instances that were nerfed, the first tick lands, but the second never comes in, despite the animation/sound design still telegraphing it. So now, true 1+1 damage is indistinguishable from the previously 1+1 damage.

To be clear, I'm not talking about whether the balance changes were warranted. I am saying that 1+1 damage was baked into the animations, the damage got changed, but not the animations.

Might be a nitpick, but I had way too many "wait how do I have an extra mask?" moments in my second playthrough. I hope they get reworked.

cool detail that i only noticed on my 10th playthrough

Too many damn flea brews ughh

English is not my first language

I havent really played videogames since my childhood. Last year I played both Hades games, absolutely loved them, got +100 hours in both of those, and got all the achievements. I saw a friend of mine play silksong and I really liked the visuals; he told me I should play Hollow Knight first, that it would be too much for me, so I did, and I absolutely loved everything about it. I even beat radiance, did the white palace stuff, and two pantheons, all without looking for guides, because I didnt get frustrated by getting lost, the atmosphere was just amazing and I always felt there could be something new (And 80% of the time there was!).

It´s been the same with Silksong, even better at some points, I really like Hornet as a protagonist, she is like a wise cool old lady, the music is amazing, and i feel the story is less abstract, also the bosses, at least up to the point where Ive played, are just better (Last judge, trobio, lace, the fat guy in the kitchen, all amazing!). It is definitely more difficult, but Ive felt it somehow less punishing than Hollow Knight, I love that they let you save rosaries, so you can explore more freely without the fear of losing it all

But a week ago I got to Bilewaters, and it feels like the game doesnt want me to win or learn anything. There are things that are just annoying. (first picture) I found a bench after a really difficult platforming section and the "reward" is that I fall into the water? A BUNCH OF ENEMIES REAPPEAR, LIKE INSTANTLY, WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT. and now Im stuck in one of those rooms where I have to fight a bunch of common enemies, not a boss (I think) and its just so annoying, because theres a hard platforming section where I always lose health and theres a big chance i fall into the water and I wont be able to heal, so I cant really learn anything about the fight because I arrive really hurt to the fight.

My friend told me this game is like a "dark souls" type of game, and that it is supposed to be like this, but I just dont get it. I avoided the dark souls games, because I cant even control the camera with one stick and the character with the other, so I dont really know whats that about, but I just dont understand where the the fun is in such big punishments for "little failures", I dont care dying to bosses a trillion times, especially when they are as fun as in this game, but this, I just dont get it. I think i will probably win that room eventually, but Ive been stuck here for a week, and I play 2-3 hours every few days.

I dont even know the point of this point of this post, I guess finding support or advice, but I guess I just wanted to know if this is a normal feeling

I don’t really know why team cherry was allergic to putting good checkpoints that save your time in this game. Doing skarsinger or w/e rn. You’e telling me i got to freaking do the song and do the walkback, and beat the ants before i even fight her everytime? There were so many instances of terrible walkback in this game, notably bilehaven boss. I just hate it. It’s like nearly every boss here has as bad walkback as nighmare king grimm from hk but far worse. Why waste my time like this? Why not just put me at the beginning of the dream at least and not make me start it everytime. It’s gonna be hell finishing this…

I don't know if I'm losing my mind. But, While I was trying to get the delivery weapon oil from the from the food quest. I saw a yellow bird looking thing flying in the background. Have anyone else seen this thing before or am I nuts?

It flow in the pattern of the blue line behind the wall of rocks, I had to stop and walk back to see it but it disappeared. I left and returned but it didn't reappear.

There isn’t a lot of material to go through, and the more I look at it the more hurdles I have to jump through to try writing dialogue in their style. I love the idea, but the execution is… very hard. If you’re a grammar nerd, help for structuring it would be appreciated.

Inspired in Sunny clockwork

Does anyone know how this happened, and if it’s possible to replicate? I’d assume it’s not very useful, but I’m just curious.

Just got it on act 2 and it feels like after using it a couple times it might be one of those things to use if the game is way too hard. Like in lies of P where you can use a summon for a boss. I don’t like using things where it feels like I decrease the difficulty of the game to like Hard-> Normal. It being good is fine. But I’m not sure how it fares against bosses yet.

If people think it makes the game easy I will remove it tbh. Challenge is apart of the fun for me

Apparently there is a vine/tree platform thing that you hit below, but I didn't see it so I thought you needed silk soar and instead found a "shortcut"

I need three mcguffins for the shamans, but i have no idea where to go for two of them. I know one of them is in the sands of karak and i was there before, i just need to go there again bc i have the elegy. For the red ant queen, i have no idea. And for the other one that is close to shellwood, i have no idea. Where do i look for these other two?

I made this thing in like 5 minutes lmao

personally I love the hunter and the beast crest Being a dopamine junkie with the backflips of the hunter and the super aggressive attacks on the beast crest. Whats your favourite crest?

I need gromling in hunter’s journal, am I locked out?

Is it normal to die like 10 or 15 times in each hard boss?
I watch Kaskozhuk speedrun guide and he completed the game with only 12 hours and i die and lose all my Rosaries and die in each boss like alot and he beat the boss for only first or twice and i reached the first part of his guide when he reached 2 hours i reached 3h and 37min should i keep going or start again?

Why is this not talked about more? Took me three grueling hours to beat it last night.

I always hear people saying how bad the High Halls gauntlet is but that’s absolutely nothing compared to this. Legit had me considering quitting the game 😭.

personally I think the dice, egg of flealia, and barbed bracelet will be god tier picks in a potential radiant mode
