You have to beat a boss rush consisting of almost every boss in the game, some of which have been buffed pretty significantly. If you die you have to start over from the beginning.

I can't even concieve of how thats possible. Different bosses have different charm requirements and I take it there's no way to change your charms once you 've started?

You get a few chances during Pantheon runs to change your charms around. That said I've been able to make it through Pantheon 5 with the same charm loadout the whole way (Unbreakable Strength, Mark of Pride, Soul Catcher, Shaman Stone)

I mean, of course it's possible and of course there are a million youtube videos of people doing it in five minutes flat without getting hit using only one foot on the controller. I just can't imagine it and will never do it.

I mean it’s still too hard for me to even try but it’s not quite as hard as that description

I understand that the crimson troupe is DLC, but there where a lot of bosses in there that I didn't recognize. Interesting that the devs have been putting so much combat challenges in, that's usually not the focus of metroidvanias. What's the story on the dude in the mask watching all the fights (and his fate?) (and that ending with hornet??)

Cartoon Man posted:Anybody on our forums actually done this? As I understand it, the game was patched around... a year ago? to fix an issue where Nail Art damage wasn't affected by the Nail Binding. I think a lot of people who did the "all-bindings" run were using that to make it way more feasible, and it being patched out really discourages me from trying.

Is Sharp Shadow affected by the Nail binding?

What's the story on the dude in the mask watching all the fights (and his fate?) (and that ending with hornet??) That's the titular Godmaster of the DLC. The entire scenario is basically set in her mindscape, the way the White Palace is for the King. She's trying to connect to the various gods of the kingdom, which you somewhat unwittingly assist with via beating up the various bosses in the Trials. At the very end you go up against the Radiance in its purest form, and as with the normal ending it ends up with the Void overflowing and eating her, which apparently takes the rest of the mindscape with it. The result of this is that the Void starts overflowing out of the Godmaster's physical body, and either explodes massively in the normal ending or is sucked into the Fragile Flower and dissipates if you gave her one before the trial. The final scene with Hornet appears to be the Hollow Knight wandering out of the Black Egg Temple, since you killed the Radiance without needing to go through him first. kvx687 fucked around with this message at 21:17 on May 3, 2020 |

The coolest thing about Godmaster is the new fights, especially with the various nail masters. But there's simply no way that I'm going to ever get either of those 2 final endings. Simply not worth it, watching a youtube video is good enough

I just looked it up, apparently that's all free dlc? Wow. I used the dream nail but everything else is new. Is it worth creating a new save (my old one is long gone) to see grim/troupe/godmaster content, or are they aimed more at masochists? For the record I got the radiant ending, but could never finish the Fool's arena. edit: Spoilers Serephina fucked around with this message at 08:12 on May 3, 2020 |

For the record I got the radiant ending, but could never finish the Fool's arena. Godmaster is the only one that lives off in the masochism zone, all of that stuff is kind of weirdly not part of the main game. The other DLC are well-integrated and feel normal as part of a playthrough. I wouldn't create a new save just for that little bit of content unless you were really hankering for another playthrough One of the best boss fights in the game is part of the Troupe, but it's optional and contingent on a choice that you make. But you can also unlock that fight in Godhome, along with other fights that are exclusive to Godhome, so it's nothing to worry about

Was it really necessary to describe the DLC's ending without spoiler tags?

I have successfully beaten Hollow Knight by seeing* the fourth and fifth ending. *not necessarily playing

I broke down and watched some of the plays of Silksong from previews and such so far posted places. Man, I can't wait.

Has there been any news this year? Silksong is already GOTY 2020 in my headcannon.

It’s GOTD actually, maybe GOTC.

Is it just the two games I'm interested in enough to actually follow (this and Cyberpunk) that are being mad stingy with updates or is this a trend in general across the industry? Have hyped-up games like No Man's Sky, Mass Effect Andromeda, Anthem etc that bombed and were mocked into oblivion resulted in studios becoming hype-shy to the point of taking it too much in the other direction and showing us next to nothing for ages? I just wish if they're going to do it like that companies would wait untill the game was two or three months out from release before first announcing, and then release the same amount of stuff over those two or three months instead of stretching those same crumbs over two or three or more years. There's a fine line between excitement during the buildup and frustration at not knowing when it's coming for long stretches of time and having hardly anything to get excited about during the wait. I want them to take as long as they need, of course, but at this point I'm really hoping they drop a trailer out of the blue with a release date of "in a week" as a nice surprise when it's finally ready. Or at least, y'know, give us something from time to time if it's still gonna be a while.

How is this the first I've heard of Silksong?! What the hell thread, what the gently caress Steam, you have all failed me. Do they accept preorders? Just take my money already geez.

I'm told that Hollow Knight: Silksong and Deltarune will both eventually come out but frankly I don't believe it.

Well at least this/the Silksong thread is alright, I usually cope by reading/occcasionally shitposting in the threads, but have you seen the Cyberpunk thread the last day or so? (Don't go see the Cyberpunk thread lol. Not even for morbid curiosity)

They probably announced silksong when they did because if they hadn't, people would be accusing them of going back on their hornet dlc promise by now.

Look, I'm extremely excited for Silksong and 100% support Team Cherry in the choices that led them to this point and think Hollow Knight is.......maybe the best content-for-value game, ever? Maybe second to Orange Box, and even that's a hard maybe. But they absolutely went back on those DLC promises.

Just throw out a screenshot or two every now and then though. Something Anything. Tease a charm that is in the game, or a new character or gameplay mechanic.

They showed Silksong gameplay at the Nintendo booth at last year's E3, maybe they'll have more this year. Now to read the news while taking a big sip of water...

If you backed at the right time you've essentially gotten 4 complete video games for the price of 1.

I've played like 9000 games of hearthstone and paid 0 money for it, but I still don't think that's very good value for money because the game isn't very good.
