Dammit. Stop posting so much. 1 post = no news. 15 posts = no news but now I'm disappointed.

All must feel our pain. Getting excited because the Absolute Shitshoe is in the top half of the first page of your bookmarks with double-digit unread posts only to click and get nothing but a faceful of shitposts, is the new goatse.

There was only 1 copy of Silksong released, and Peter Molyneux is still designing the social experiment to decide who gets it.

This thread would have literally hundreds if not 1,000s of posts if anything actually happened, if you see like 15 new posts it just means someone either started playing Hollow Knight and wants help or someone makes an epic post about how the 4 guys who made the best metroidvania ever are actually lazy because they haven't released a better sequel in less time during a pandemic.

It does seem pretty rude of them to not offer their shareholders a quarterly report, this isn't going to fly with the board of directors.

I disagree, it's legit. Kind of odd for them to add the dating sim aspect though. I'm getting subtle hints that to get the true ending I have to romance Zote and then break his heart since it sets up how much of a jerk he is.

Woah, Zote's still alive in your game? I tried for like an hour to save him but there just didn't seem to be any way to avoid the vegetable salesman.

You had to buy his vegetables the first time he appears. I've noticed that each time you return to the shops they have different behavior and usually the first time if you buy something (even something cheap) usually it goes better with them later. I know the hermit crab looking guy thats in the upside down bucket near the surface offered me a carnival ticket the first time I was there and I didn't have enough money, so now unless there's some other way to visit the carnival when it shows up I think I'm locked out of whatever's at the top of the ferris wheel.

So about those scans, they aren't great quality, being phone screenshots but they're certainly readable.


I did ask one of the mods before posting this, it should be okay

After perusing these scans I've decided it would be cool if Silksong comes out.

Hey! So I finally beat the game and am trying to wrap up achievements.
One of them is to get 2400 essence; unfortunately I was using the dreamgate a bunch so now I’ve got 2361 after clearing out all the major dream enemies.
What are my options to get 40 essence? Colosseum a bunch? Do Kings Gate runs? It feels pretty daunting, wish I had known about the gate using essence before I was blasting it for every kind of travel.


Edit: oh sorry, I thought this was the HK thread, not the sequel thread!
Can I still ask in here?

Every time someone posts in this thread thinking it's the main HK thread, Silksong gets delayed another month.

But this link helps: https://hollowknight.fandom.com/wiki/Dream_Nail

If you don't wanna get spoiled, tl;dr there should still be way more than enough essence, so you've probably missed a couple bosses. Worst case you can get rare essence drops from normal enemies but it really shouldn't be necessary.

You can always try to clear out the graveyard of Kickstarter backers, think there’s like 30 or so ghosts in there.

I mean seriously though, did you use the Dreamgate like 800 times? Or do you just not want to get spoiled on what bosses you probably missed.

I might have used it a lot. I did read that there is a total of like 3208 so I'm definitely missing a few.
Will look up up an essence guide and see what I'm missing, thanks y'all
