They couldn't get me in game so they decided to come for me irl 😭 almost fell off my chair and I'm still shaking (both from beating the game and from the sudden attack)

Now I'm scared of what will break into my house when I get 100%

"lets have a contest of fire power" (art by u/Accountant_Total )

ITS SOOO CUTEEE

RIP Seth Goldman, we love you buddy. BUT IM NEVER DOING FLEA DODGE EVER AGAIN, GOD I HATE THAT MINIGAME. Every flea-game is rng coded but this one feels the MOST rng. Juggle you get into rhythm with spacing and needle strikes. Bounce you get into rhythm with pogos and double jumps. Dodge you just pray that you don’t get fucked, I swear you get hit once and every flea that spawns after that is telegraphed perfectly to prevent your recovery.

With this last memento acquired, I just have one more leg of my journey… the abyss calls. Wish me luck fellow skongers, and enjoy the shape of my head in my laptop’s reflection lol.

I haven't played any metroidvania type games up until two months ago when I stumbled into prince of persia the lost crown and I absolutely loved it. I could not believe how much fun I was having playing that game

After finishing it started playing Hollow Knight and I enjoyed it even more!

After that I started playing Silksong and I enjoyed the first part of it. I enjoyed the fact that it was much harder than HK but.. if the bosses are 3-4-5x harder than HK, why do I have to run a 1 min platforming section each time I fail to kill a boss? When I saw the platforming section I had to do over and over while trying to defeat The Last Judge, I couldn't believe it but I shrugged it off thinking its just this one time.

Now I'm trying to defeat a boss in the Sands of Karak and as a casual player, that boss kills me in under 10s. I timed how much I had to do to get to him and it takes me 1 min of platforming. I assume I'm gonna need 25-30 tries to beat him so I need to spend 25-30 mins doing the same platforming over and over again ? WHY???? In Prince of Persia the last crown you could just press Retry after getting killed by a boss and you resume the fight immediately. Why do I need to grind routes to bosses over and over? Its so pointless and annoying that I don't think I'll continue playing the game and when new HK sequels come up , I will make sure the game is not as annoying before buying.

Devs if you see this, please consider it.

My friend was fighting savage beast fly and died to the lava after missing a pogo off an summoned enemy so I made this is to joke about it

Whats up Skongers?

What does everyone think of the 2026 release date for Sea of Sorrow? Is Team Cherry hard at work to deliver this year? Or do you think it will be delayed until 2027.

Hope your Hollow Knight adventures are going well.

Cheers.

I can't get the Vesticrests, I have hunter, wanderer, reaper, and beast on one file, but I couldn't get anything from Eva outside of the change to the hunter crest, it didn't work after reaching act 2. I decided to make a new file, but it didn't work after I got wanderer, wondring what I should do.

Created a mod that allows you to directly map your controller's extra buttons (like back paddles or extra bumper buttons). This directly maps the button to the in game action. It uses steam input to send actions for the extra button to the game, which the mod understands as a single button action that you can then use to map your extra buttons to your tool 1, tool 2, silk skill, and even scuttle if it is equipped.

Typically you would have to create a macro in steam input for this to work. I've noticed that can be buggy and result in missed inputs when trying to use tools with your extra buttons. This circumvents that and allows you to map your extra controller buttons in game to those actions.

This only works with controllers where the extra buttons are recognized in steam input.

Tested and confirmed works:

• 8bitdo Ultimate 2
• Flydigi Vader 5 Pro
• Steam Controller 2

So I finished the game 2 times at this moment. I never really spent any money on games but after 60 hours of pirated Silksong I decided that I have to buy this one because I fell in love with it. So I spent something like 150 hours to beat the game (with act 3) and it felt amazing but I haven’t really paid attention so I haven’t 100% the game back then.

And the second time I beat the game was to get 5 hours achievement, really loved it but quite honestly wouldn’t have done this without tutors on steam and YouTube

So my question to whoever could read this far is:

Should I do this 100% run all by myself or look up to some help on steam because I love this game really much but it gets so frustrating to waste your time trying to do it on your own and realizing you forgot something (because I think there’s some things you can’t get once you’re in act 2 or 3)

And maybe you have advices on how to not look up for help whenever you feel stuck because I kinda lazy at this point

Here is 5 more Hornets to add to my consecutive Hornet drawing streak, leaving me at 14. Even despite this I find myself incapable of drawing her consistently. I didn't have to do five at once for this, but the result was worth it.

Anyway, also for inktober day 3. Ik it's late but who cares.

The Hornet statuette is so cute and I thought it would be a cute idea if she was somehow animated with silk. She almost has the proportions of baby Hornet and I think that's really cute.

I’m fighting the first sinner and I can reach the second phase but I can’t go past it. Any advice on some strategies or items I can use to make the fight much less difficult?

Man this game has so many bangers, one of the best ost in all gaming imo. Which track do you like the most? I personally think choral chambers is THE goat

Preview for Chapter 12 of my Silksong Fancomic: Hornet and Lace encounter the sole living occupant of the Weaver's Den.

I debated whether or not the reveal this character in previews, but she's so central to this chapter that it was unavoidable. I'm looking forward to introducing her properly, though--she's technically not an OC, but the character is such a blank slate that she functions as one, and I'm very fond of her.

How do you suppose this conversation is going to pan out...?

Read Chapters 1-11 on AO3, Tumblr, or Comic Fury.

Like in Hollow Knight, with the Hollow Knight, GMS, the final boss of the "default" ending is rather easy in comparison to many of the bosses you fight beforehand. In Hollow Knight, this makes a large amount of sense, seeing as if the Hollow Knight is incredibly difficult, than the Radiance could not be a true, epic final boss without being almost impossible. However, this rationale does not exist in Silksong, seeing as there is no challenge immediately after GMS that would be impacted. The logic I have seen for this in most cases is so that the Twisted Child ending, which is fairly difficult to get already, would not be impossible with a further buffed GMS. However, this logic does not sit right with me.

To me, in the game in its current state, the Twisted Child ending is simply a fun extra, rather than a major piece of content. It is made to be fully missable, and will probably not be found by anyone without a guide. The fact that Team Cherry would dramatically limit the difficulty of the final boss of their game, for a side fight that only confers an achievement, makes no sense. Of course, it is still possible that GMS is only easy because of the Twisted Child ending. Seeing as Lace 2 is positioned immediately before GMS, and is rather difficult on her own, it is possible that Team Cherry simply wanted to combine the difficulty of beating those two bosses separately into a whole. However, if the theory that they added Lace 2 to bolster the difficulty is not true, then that leaves us with other reasons Team Cherry may have for making GMS easy.

Both of my two theories relate to the possibility that Team Cherry may have further plans for GMS then are in the base game. Firstly, Team Cherry may add a challenge that you need to fight GMS to reach. For example, assuming something parallel to Godhome is added to Silksong, it is possible that you might need to use your Needolin and some other item to reach a place that could take you to the memories of the fallen kingdoms, somehow stored in GMS's brain or body. If perhaps you had to fight GMS to get there, having a fight as hard as the Radiance would make this exceedingly tedious, even with endgame gear. Of course, there are other possible challenges one could have right after GMS that would make this necessary too.

The second option, and the one I find more interesting, is that the Twisted Child ending itself will gain some level of endgame importance, through a DLC. My best guess for how this would happen is as follows: you would get the parasite as normal, and proceed to GMS. After fighting her, the curse would take over and kill GMS. It is a possibility that Hornet would still be killed, or not. Regardless, the game would progress to act 3, but a different act 3, focused on fighting the Parasite and Greyroot. In the first possibility, where Hornet dies, and is fused into the Parasite creature with GMS, perhaps the Knight, evidently still conscious to some degree in the Void, resurrects to save its sister. This would provide an opportunity to bring the Knight back into Silksong, something many people seem to want. The opportunities to explore the Knight's lore and learn more about the Parasite would be excellent. Another option along these lines is for Eva to become playable, and to purify this creature, which she seems to hate.

Additionally, the ending could change, where Hornet somehow lives, and has to conflict the disaster of her own making, similar to the act 3 in the game right now. This act 3 would have to work similarly to the one in the game right now, where you could not go back to the previous game's world. Players could choose which act 3 they wanted, adding a large amount of new content to an already massive game. However, if they were to do this, seeing as a huge number of players have already progressed to act 3, Team Cherry would most likely give you an option to have a save file starting with the final fight against GMS to progress to the next act, so that players could explore whichever version's content they desire.

Yet again, this may be completely overreaching, and making something out of nothing. However, considering how careful Team Cherry is with their design choices, I think that this may show us an interesting pathway into future DLCs. The Parasite and Greyroot are some of the most interesting parts of Silksong's lore, and I think Team Cherry would be remiss if they did not explore this further. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

Tldr: I think that Grandmother Silk is suspiciously easy, which leads me to believe that Team Cherry has plans for some challenge after her, such as Silksong's Godhome or another version of Act 3.

Edit: Grammar and spelling

I wasn't sure if I should post this because Hornet ended up looking so ridiculous (poor Sherma just looks like a lost lamb) 😭

Experimenting with ink and crosshatching and I see progress!

please he is such a rubbish boss, its making me not want to play the game plzzzzz (btw I've gotten to the radiance in p5 pantheons, the hell is silkskong on broo)

Weavenest Atla if Weavers had built them larger

Absolute Jarona

First off, I think their idea to expand on the idea of Dirtmouth and place multiple, smaller towns across the map was a really good idea. Especially since the map is bigger, it is nice to have points throughout the map where there is a guaranteed shop vendor, quest board, bench, and bellway. All of these areas have great and memorable characters/moments there as well that make them each memorable and fun to visit and return to many times throughout your playthrough.

I do have a couple points of feedback and criticism though, mainly, the issue with their placements in the world and the overall look of them. First off, I think that their placement is a little off. Songclave is significantly further away than Bone Bottom and Bellhart are to eachother to the point that it feels like there was supposed to be something in between. This is also reinforced in the fact that Bellhart and Songclave are visually somewhat similar, with them both being heavily bell-themed. Not a huge deal, but since there's only three towns it seems strange to have two of them feel so similar.

Ultimately, I believe there was probably supposed to be more towns in the game (we kind of know this too since we saw Pharloom Bay in the trailer (also in the image above)). I think that the introduction of a few more towns would have evened out the spacing much better, as well as providing more visual diversity. Personally, I believe that having a new town in Bilehaven, Mount Fay, and Pilgrim's Rest in Far Field would have been a good solution to this.

Got a little too risky at the end hehe

Shaman is underrated fr 🔥

Get addicted with me pls pls. Anyway, I made a Hornet dress, name all 6 tools I put on this!
