silk cocoon 100% will give some benefit somewhere to abuse

legorhin Sep 11, 2025 9:51 AM games

they need to get good enough at the game before routing that

legorhin Sep 11, 2025 9:52 AM games

or use invincibility hacks like the IGN team did

TinyBomby Sep 11, 2025 9:52 AM games

I feel like running on steel soul would make the speed run a lot less accessible

legorhin Sep 11, 2025 9:54 AM games

entry level would have no reason to run steel soul

legorhin Sep 11, 2025 9:54 AM games

if you can't deathless every boss you won't be in contention anyway

TinyBomby Sep 11, 2025 9:54 AM games

I guess that's fair, but I wonder if the game is hard enough that taking one wipe could make you still fast enough

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 11, 2025 9:55 AM games

routing will matter more, since a death only sets you back 30-60 seconds

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 11, 2025 9:55 AM games

sure if it was hyper optimized, you'd need to be deathless, and eventually it will be

legorhin Sep 11, 2025 9:55 AM games

the speedrun is already like 75 minutes

TinyBomby Sep 11, 2025 9:55 AM games

is that just normal ending speedrun?

legorhin Sep 11, 2025 9:56 AM games

yes

TinyBomby Sep 11, 2025 9:56 AM games

I wonder what the final ending speedrun would look like

legorhin Sep 11, 2025 9:57 AM games

the leaderboard page is locked until october and the spreadsheet they are using until then is not up to date and doesn't have specific ending categories

TinyBomby Sep 11, 2025 9:57 AM games

yeah I'm looking now

legorhin Sep 11, 2025 9:58 AM games

WR is below 1:17:05 but I don't know who has it or the time

legorhin Sep 11, 2025 10:01 AM games

oh WR is 1:16:05 unless that is also out of date now

legorhin Sep 11, 2025 10:39 AM games

the speedrun skips 4th chorus

TinyBomby Sep 11, 2025 11:13 AM games

Huh, how’s that work?

Dialga Sep 11, 2025 11:14 AM games

same way leg somehow fought widow before moorwing

Dialga Sep 11, 2025 11:14 AM games

i imagine there's some other route you can take

legorhin Sep 11, 2025 11:15 AM games

no its not an alternate route

legorhin Sep 11, 2025 11:15 AM games

and moorwing shows up in its original spot at the beginning of Act 2 if you skip it (i found it)

legorhin Sep 11, 2025 11:17 AM games

for chorus, they just jump left and if they do it right they trigger the lava damage respawn on the walkway

TinyBomby Sep 11, 2025 11:18 AM games

You’re definitely required to walk passed chorus, but yeah it’s interesting you can just skip the cutscene like that

legorhin Sep 11, 2025 11:19 AM games

it looks like you can just leave the fight

TinyBomby Sep 11, 2025 11:24 AM games

Wait really? After triggering the fight, you can just leave?

TinyBomby Sep 11, 2025 11:24 AM games

That’s hilarious if so

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 11, 2025 11:25 AM games

There are a couple spots like that, I did it accidentally once and realized I zoned out after I ran off to heal

legorhin Sep 11, 2025 11:34 AM games

how do you do the AOE parry thing I am seeing in this speedrun?

Dialga Sep 11, 2025 11:36 AM games

what aoe parry thing

legorhin Sep 11, 2025 11:37 AM games

the runner parrys then there's a big flurry of attacks

Dialga Sep 11, 2025 11:38 AM games

oh probably the silk skill Cross Stitch

Dialga Sep 11, 2025 11:38 AM games

you have to kill the phantom to get it

legorhin Sep 11, 2025 11:39 AM games

ok, that's the weird part of the route I had no idea existed

TinyBomby Sep 11, 2025 2:11 PM games

VERY tough boss, but I finally defeated Mothiva Bug Fables

TinyBomby Sep 11, 2025 2:47 PM games

excuse me what just happened in this final boss I kill lace, and then a giant wave of void comes over and just kills me. I have literally no idea what I was meant to do there?

you jump over it

TinyBomby Sep 11, 2025 3:01 PM games

I realize that, just very unexpected

TinyBomby Sep 11, 2025 3:06 PM games

I actually kinda hate this I have literally no idea where she is in phase 3 because half the screen is filled with black murk

TinyBomby Sep 11, 2025 3:07 PM games

Also I became too complacent from the dream bosses letting me spam items and not use up shards, so now I just can't use my items. In a few more attempts, I'll be completely out of shards and no way I'm leaving this area to farm more.

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 11, 2025 5:05 PM games

Everyone I know playing it has given up and is waiting for a patch, I didn't look into it beyond being told it was a UE5-Windows issue

Alright. I have finished Silksong. Not sure what to think of that final boss tbh.

TinyBomby Sep 11, 2025 11:55 PM games

Oh, it gives you a percent now. 75% is insane. Not sure I can be bothered to clean up though.

TinyBomby Sep 11, 2025 11:57 PM games

37 hours, 45 minutes as well.

Dialga Sep 11, 2025 11:57 PM games

i had 91% when i got the farsight, before i did extra cleanup

TinyBomby Sep 11, 2025 11:58 PM games

Idk what to think. When I played HK, I really loved it and wanted to 100% it, but playng this legit makes me think worse of HK. I'm thinking now that if I went back to HK now, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to 100% it.

Dialga Sep 11, 2025 11:58 PM games

btw you get the farsight in the abyss, same room you get silk soar, just across the gap at the top

TinyBomby Sep 12, 2025 12:00 AM games

er, I'm looking at the achievements, what is this other ending Grant the Herald's Wish

Dialga Sep 12, 2025 12:01 AM games

you remember mushroom man at the end of HK? idk how you start it, but he has a questline you can do to get the ending

Dialga Sep 12, 2025 12:01 AM games

also there's a path of pain i missed

Dane Sep 12, 2025 3:14 AM games

first silksong patch is in

Dane Sep 12, 2025 3:23 AM games

I think they just replenished all the rosary rewards in my game as well. The beads I already took are back lmao

legorhin Sep 12, 2025 6:21 AM games

underworks doesn't have double damage spikes anymore so its not by default the least fun part of the game anymore

legorhin Sep 12, 2025 7:29 AM games

whatever they did to moorwing, instead they should have made it hover slightly lower so its actually possible to hit more of the time

legorhin Sep 12, 2025 8:02 AM games

found moorwing cheese

20250912-01K4YWSW11655B8Y233R9DY7BW-D8468D52-300B-4449-A684-1584060371E6.mov 3.9 MiB · captured_local

legorhin Sep 12, 2025 8:02 AM games

the only damage I took was from dumb stuff outside this strat

legorhin Sep 12, 2025 8:03 AM games

the cheese also requires an ability you wouldn't have at the time you are meant to enounter moorwing in normal progression

legorhin Sep 12, 2025 8:39 AM games

I despise wraiths

legorhin Sep 12, 2025 10:10 AM games

https://x.com/Wario64/status/1966503713616376231

that closes another Nintendo Direct with no Silksong

Dialga Sep 12, 2025 10:13 AM games

moorwing was not a fight that needed cheese but ok

Dialga Sep 12, 2025 10:14 AM games

also underworks was never the most unfun area by a longshot

legorhin Sep 12, 2025 10:15 AM games

least fun I have encountered so far

I cleared the mist and it took way longer than it should have

legorhin Sep 12, 2025 12:13 PM games

I think I died on the last screen 3 times
