a game by Team Cherry - Hollow Knight: Silksong (2025)

[Mertron]

i was in a similar position before having to resort to a guide, without spoiling how i found them i found my last mask and spool upgrade in

Spoiler: show

whiteward, along with another big item that would’ve been nice to have earlier

you might’ve found those already though, i never returned to that area until the very end in cleanup

[Roranora]

started the 2nd save file -- going in as differently as possible, omitting some upgrades, feeling out 5hr any%, re-experiencing boss fights

i've lamented that Pharloom exploration doesn't vary like Hallownest exploration, but Silksong is still decent in this regard. let us take the other way into the Citadel this time. it's wild to me the players who went the other way blind; we even have at least 1 here

[Zealot]

Found every collectible except the Mementos, but this Surface Memento, which should be the easiest one to get, isn't showing up.

need to play the song at the end

I went into the citadel backwards blind and that shit was a ride, definitely had an impact on my thoughts about the game too

A couple of my friends got stuck on Last Judge and found the alternative route while trying to find more upgrades.

I'm playing the song, the ghost shows up and says its thing, I hit the wall next to it afterwards, nothing.

from watching YouTube videos there’s a third way to get to act 2 if you’re a psychopath (obviously not intended)

Spoiler: show

getting doublejump cloak in act 1 which means doing it without the hook shot, then going through the wisp area

i finished my first playthrough of tactics yesterday and did not feel like doing deep dungeon yet, so i came back to this and finished the hunters journal. turns out i missed three optional bosses

if you get the Guardian Memento, you are a mad lad

[Zealot]

I have Sprintmaster, Guardians, Hero, and Grey, and the Conjoined Heart. I did get the Surface Memento! So I just need Hunter and one more.

you flea juggled like 55+? that's harder than any boss by some distance

I've got the other 7 but dunno if I can make that last one happen

[Zealot]

The juggling was by far the hardest challenge but I locked in.

Found the Craw summon and did that fight, just need 2 more monsters in the Abyss for the Hunter Memento and I think one more Memory Locket.

He is the One, everyone.

[Mertron]

haven’t gotten around to that yet. i went 1/1 on normal flea juggle, how bad could it be

[Roranora]

1/1 on 31+ whaaat, you probably one of the Ones too then

[Mertron]

it also only took me like, 3ish tries to do the pogo one

i would not like to talk about flea dodge though. i dont even think it was that hard, i just kept making dumb mistakes

[Roranora]

pogo 1 try, dodge 2 i think.

flea juggle, several dozen attempts, maybe a hundred. and i haven't handled a wave of 4 once yet. you gotta do it like 6+ times to get the memento

[Zealot]

I absolutely wrecked flea dodge, flea bounce I also needed multiple tries because I kept doing dumb stuff.

I also had to do the regular, non-memento sprints multiple times because until the third one I flat out did not remember Hornet's silk spear for moving horizontally.

i would also not like to talk about the third race, which i will have to redo apparently for the memento
