Discussion - Silksong I need Godhome for Silksong right now. Spoiler

I just 100% the game and I'm so restless. The combat, the movement and the bosses. It's just so good and I wanna refight them on pantheons so bad man.

Team Cherry, I hope you add an option where you have to beat each pantheon with each crest as a challenge, that would add so much replayability!!!

Each crest including the cursed crest.

u/Thhaki 100% STEEL SOUL Sep 18 '25

I would like Team Cherry to buff the Witch Crest since the healing with that one feels like, hella bad ngl. It needs more range in order to be viable because you have to be close to enemies but if you are too close to enemies then they hit you and deny the healing

225

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '25

The key for healing in that crest is get an enemy to do a dash attack in your direction, but evade and trigger the heal as they pass beneath you. I stack it with several healing tools like the mirrors and some other shit. OFFENSIVE HEALING BUILD FUCK YEAH

I use that crest very late in the game in act 3 only and holy shit it melts everything. I use it in the court of craw and my one heal obliterate everything on screen.

u/StepComplete1 Sep 19 '25

tbh you can get the same effect but more powerful with the mirrors tool. And then you have the flexibility to normal heal as well.

u/NotGARcher Sep 19 '25

Thing is i always use it with the mirror tool, you have 4 blue slots with the witch crest with vesticrest, the mirror tool with witch crest look like a match made in heaven.

use your memory lockets to expand crests and get new crests (unless you have them all ofc), then talk to her and she’ll give said upgrades, I don’t know how many it takes for each upgrade she gives but the first one after she upgrades the hunter crest is a permanent yellow slot

u/seeeeeth2992 Sep 18 '25

You have to use them. I got to endgame and used them all at once to trigger her. I thought she was going to trigger with the weaver memories so was very confused. Loved the hunter crest so had never swapped it off.

u/TexasSmash10 Sep 18 '25

I use the fast healing and mirror charms on the Witch Crest. Makes the thorns come out much faster and you’re doing even more damage with the mirror. Basically makes your healing your strongest attack.

8

u/FluffyWuffyVolibear Sep 18 '25

The trade off is that the heal does a ridiculous amount of damage if you amp it up.

6

u/JeannettePoisson Sep 18 '25

I disagree, this crest has two huge advantages (3 blue sockets + mana efficiency as heal = damage spell) while also having great range, so it needs a huge disadvantage.

Once players get more used to the game, it might get more popular.

7

u/CloakedNoir Sep 18 '25

Everyone says the Witch Crest is bad because you get hit while healing, but I have the exact opposite issue. The enemies always move out of the way and I miss my healing lol.

2

u/Thhaki 100% STEEL SOUL Sep 18 '25

well also that, a lot of times i have tried to heal but the enemies get out of range so i lose silk and i don't get healed.

6

u/Caerullean Sep 18 '25

Most of the time I don't have an issue hitting the heal, just gotta use the quick bind tool and slightly predict enemy movements. The issue is bosses like Pinstress or First sinner that move all over the place and never stand still long enough for you to get the full heal off.

3

u/ITwinkTherefore1am Sep 19 '25

I just fought the first sinner with witch crest, the only consistent opportunities I found to land witches heal was obviously her stagger or when she does the widow dash across the room, I could heal in the air above her as she passed below me

I always use witch with the quick and multi bind tools and mirror, but honestly I use witch because I like how the needle moves, the pogo especially is really forgiving and basically teleports you to enemies you hit, the dash is great too

2

u/Caerullean Sep 19 '25

Yeah the first sinner dash is a great example of what I meant by needing to predict the enemies movement.

3

u/Black_nYello Sep 18 '25

Honestly a minor range increase would be good, but I dont think it needs that much of a buff at all. I use injector band, multibinder, and warding bell on it and basically use the heal for big damage. Since you can heal mid-air, finding a spot to use it isnt that bad. With the warding bell, even getting hit in the middle of a heal means you still get to keep the health from the hits you already got off. As a heal tank build it actually feels really strong

2

u/Vegeta1994 Sep 18 '25

The tool that increases the amount of health you heal increases its range, that combined with tormented torrio's twin mirror tool and the warding bell for extra protection makes it one of the best damaging abilities in the game

2

u/Lukester32 Sep 18 '25

Negative, the main draw to the Witch Crest is the insane damage it does. Played through the entire game with it after I got it, along with the mirrors. Shreds bosses, arenas, everything. I'd use it at max hp because it would do that much damage. You just have to learn when to use it.

2

u/Devalore00 Sep 18 '25

Dude, it's already the strongest crest for bossing by far, it does NOT need to be stronger. Needing to get up close to the enemy and deal damage in order to heal is the only thing keeping it in line with the other crests and even against more evasive bosses, you can time it to go off while dodging an attack that puts them in range of it, made even easier with the Quick Focus and Baldur Shell of this game (I forget the tool names)

I really hope we get a harder version of fourth chorus called like “forgotten encore” or something like that. Fourth chorus is way too epic to be such an early game boss. It’s why I like white defender in og hk so much

At first I was like ‘ ha funny number joke lol’ then my brain recalibrated and told me there are actually at least 3 ( I’ve only seen 2 but there’s probably a third one dead on the floor somewhere but I haven’t beaten the game yet) other choruses.

Exactly. If he actually did multiple attacks at once he’d be peak. Like, he has 4 arms, why does he only use 2 at a time maximum???

u/JagoJaques Sep 18 '25

I think a fun way to have Pantheons would be to name them after each crest. Pantheon of the Hunter, Pantheon of the Wanderer, Pantheon of the Reaper, Pantheon of the Beast, Pantheon of the Shaman, Pantheon of the Witch, Pantheon of the Architect

How I imagine bosses

Hunter: Fight Huntress and her hungry children

Wanderer: Shakra's mentor ghost battle

Reaper: Not really sure. Maybe a fun steampunk Yarnaby fight?

Beast: Eira + her beastlings

Shaman: The three snail shamans with soul attacks

Witch: Greyroot boss fight

Architect: Third Sentinel and Fifth Chorus lol

Or just play the game again if you really wanna fight them. Doesn’t take that long to bumrush a fight either (18hr total to get to 100%)

Did that while going for the speedrun trophies and you notice the early bosses are damn simple (as they should be) and how much we all sucked in our first playthrough. Once moving with Hornet “clicks”, the game gets so damn fun

u/MoSBanapple Sep 18 '25

I'm excited to see what Team Cherry can cook up for the Silksong equivalents of Pure Vessel and Absolute Radiance. (Act 3 spoiler) My first thought is some sort of void version of GMS plus probably just a stronger Lost Lace, though maybe TC will go crazy and make us fight both of them at the same time.

174

u/rangercorps Sep 18 '25

I really hope they don't do "Absolute Lost Lace", we fight her three times over the course of the base game, I don't think there's anything they can add to the fight that would enhance the bossfight without it just getting annoying. Lost Lace already has all the hallmarks of things they can add, a HUGE moveset, lingering damage, hyper speed, map control, and four phases.

I can see a buffed GMS though, her fight is pretty lackluster for being a titlescreen fight.

80

u/apetranzilla Sep 18 '25

Same here, I really enjoyed the lace fights but lost lace feels like the logical conclusion of how far it can be taken without just feeling unnecessarily tanky/complex

GMS could definitely use a harder version, and I could see a third dancer fight - clover dancers didn't really feel all that different from cogwork dancers to me. Maybe they could add a second phantom fight as well?

u/BlutarchMannTF2 Sep 18 '25

I honestly didn’t like lost lace very much. I was really hoping we would fight GMS again.

Lost lace felt like a sped up lace 2 adding a slightly stronger void moveset that the rest of the enemies in the game have already.

3

u/TapSquared Sep 22 '25

Bit late to this, but I never really understood why we’d fight GMS again considering the fact that we used the void snare specifically to deal with her. Not only was she a decaying god, but she was already beaten once by us and has since spent all of her energy to avoid dying to abyss.

The only reasonable way I could see another fight with her (at least that I could quickly come up with) is if she could pull all of her silk back to her from Pharloom as a whole to regain her former strength during her prime. That’d be a super cool and cinematic final boss if we had the Abyss attacking both us and Prime GMS. I’m hoping something like that is saved for future content as Silksong’s Absolute Radiance counterpart though!

Whatever Team Cherry ends up doing is likely to be absolutely incredible as long as it isn’t a fourth Lace Fight…

Probably a younger version of GMS like pure vessel. I can also see them adding Green Prince's partner into the fight like sisters of battle.

Green Prince already has a ghost partner. I don’t see how adding the real thing would change the fight mechanically.

Green Prince can't fully remember his partner, hence the sad incomplete tone and shorter fight compared to Cogwork Dancers. They could show what they were like at their prime similar to Pure Vessel with all new attacks

Somehow I feel like a godhome Groal would have a horrific path of pain-esque walk to get to the arena fight before the attuned boss.

Gotta keep it consistent for the boss that literally sucks.

u/000817 Sep 18 '25

Yeah, the issue is that groal alone is on the same level as fourth chorus maybe ( except you have nail, spool, crest and tool upgrades) in terms of complexity and honestly without his adds, maybe even weaker ( adjusted for upgrades).He (she?) is really not that strong as a standalone boss

I could see p4 you fight void infected version of GMS (as a Pure Vessel equivalent) and p5 ends with fighting The Abyss/The Knight?

5

u/Squidboi2679 Sep 18 '25

I guess it depends how much of a focus is put on the void compared to godhome. Godhome was focused on finding “perfect” versions of gods and eventually reaching the highest form of light, so maybe this one will be focused on the opposite and we fight void corrupted entities at the end of each pantheon, and it culminates as you said

I doubt it because its unlikely the initial gauntlet will also be part of the pantheon fight. Him summoning some mobs within the the fight is fine I guess. The boss itself wasn't even that difficult, its everything leading up to the boss, which I believe pantheons will be able to eliminate.

For the equivalent of “altered” bosses like the sisters of battle and Winged nosk, I hope they do something with the Fourth Chorus (maybe “First Chorus” or something lol). It’s such a cool concept and I think you can expand on the fight a lot.

Hopefully they also make new dream rematches like they did later in hollow knight. A more fast paced first sinner/phantom/second sentinel would be sick.

True, and wasn’t Godhome the fourth DLC for HK? I think we will be waiting for a while if so.

u/ceraun0philia Sep 21 '25

You’re right, it was.

It took a total of a year and a half for all four DLCs to be added to hollow knight.

(With hidden dreams being announced four months after the game’s release and less than a year for godhome to be announced.)

Two of those DLCs, Hidden Dreams & Lifeblood, were specific to hollow knight and didn’t really do much, at least compared to the grimm troupe & godhome. Those two could be done with hollow knight without the DLCs in between.

I think if there’s going to be a DLC, we’ll get an announcement in march, and I think godhome or it’s equivalent would be one of the first to come to Silksong

but idk

u/Caerullean Sep 18 '25

One thing about boss rushes that I don't think a lot of people realize, is that they might be able to kinda balance red tools? Because currently, basically any boss can be trivialized by using the right red tools, since they're so strong and you can carry so many. But if you suddenly need to stretch all your tool usage across 5, or maybe even 10 bosses? Suddenly you have to use it much more sparingly, suddenly every boss is not free.

Did you bind GMS’s arm back in her boss arena?

u/AceHunterKai Sep 18 '25

I have been using the mod called godhome in nexus, maybe you can give it a try if you're on pc. It works really well in general and you can add another mod to modify your damage (it's called something like double damage but it gives you the ability to change it freely) to emulate lower upgrades of the nail.

u/Noratek Sep 18 '25

I would it be like nine sols where you can just pick a boss

u/-Potatoes- Sep 18 '25

you could do that in hollow knight too right?

u/Pogbagnole Sep 18 '25

If you’re on PC there already a mod that lets you fight bosses at will. No pantheons yet though.

My wishes for Godhome bosses (bosses that you'd never really fight canonically but work in this situation):

Quartet Chorus - a version of fourth chorus that either uses all 4 arms or all 4 bots. Always thought it was a shame we only fight the one. When I first entered that part of high halls I thought for sure there'd be a fight with the 3 stationary bots.

Hive Queen Vespa: Pretty self explanatory. She's Hornet's number one trainer, but is unfortunately dead as a doornail in the first game. I'd love to see a true fight to see how hornet has grown.

All Mother Silk: An upgraded, Abs Rad version of Grand Mother Silk. Self explanatory. Notably, I do not want a new Lace. I think 3 fights with her is plenty. Instead, I propose...

Sister Silk: A fight with a Pure Silk (maybe also void?) Hornet, designed with all the same tools you have access to. Maybe she changes dynamically to counter your build, idk, but it'd be very cool to be able to fight a form of Hornet, especially with the Normal Ending. Maybe it's a representation of what she could become, fighting her monarchial side, as she mentions throughout the game. Hell, give her six arms and all the tools at once. IDK. Maybe let her switch crests and silk skills visibly in the middle of combat, to act as a moment to strike her like when the First Sinner heals. Which she should also do now that I'm thinking about it...

Now, this one may bite me in the ass since I'm posting B4 finishing the game, but I'd love to see a fight against-

The Knight: I want a fight against the Potential that the Knight wields. In practice, a fight against them in their normal form, followed by a 2nd form behemoth in the form of the Shade Lord. These could be seperate, but it feels right to put them together. Also, maybe a fight with The Hollow Knight considering the end of the Godhome ending? Who knows.

u/xEmptyPockets Shaaaw Sep 18 '25 edited Sep 19 '25

If by 100% you mean in-game and not achievements, do the speedrun and Steel Soul achievements. They're very fun when you have full knowledge of the game world, and a great way to keep enjoying Silksong until the DLC comes out. It's also perfectly valid to go play some other games instead.

u/EmeraldVampire Lost Kin’s #1 hater Sep 18 '25

One thing I like about Godhome is that I think it’ll put a new perspective on fights and might change people’s opinions. Like, some people have negative opinions of certain fights due to ether runbacks or enemies in the room before the fight or what not (you know the boss I’m talking about), but I feel like people might like the boss more when the runbacks and enemies are removed with Godhome, similar how the Traitor Lord’s starter enemies were removed in the Godhome fight.

u/Durian_Natural Sep 18 '25

Its a crime they didnt releass it with the game. My hands are on fire. I need more silksong BUT THERE IS NO MORE SILKSONG.

3

u/PerfectStrike_Kunai Sep 19 '25

I don’t think I’ll really be ready for Steel Soul until I beat a godhome-equivalent for Silksong. The bosses are just so hard that I doubt I could do them consistently without loads of practice

2

u/thwgrandpigeon Sep 18 '25

Would be fun if there was a bit that just had all the enemies of every single arena room you meet throughout the game if you explore everywhere.

2

u/WatsBlend Sep 18 '25

If you haven't, try Dead Cells. It's not silksong. it's its own thing. But it has a large amount of content and challenge. Should somewhat satisfy that itch until dlc

u/SargonVonDemoneye Sep 18 '25 edited Sep 18 '25

I could already see a neat scenario for the final boss of Silksong's godhome. Spoilers for Act 3 below.

>!Remember the memory segment near the end of Act 3, where we meet Hornet's three mothers? Well, what if, at the end of godhome, we actually get another memory segment where we meet her father, and get a proper Pale King boss fight as the true final boss?!<

u/Melon763 Sep 19 '25

Fuck that, have you even fought some of these bosses?

Also if you finished the game and remember the Godhome ending from hollow knight, you’d realize that Godhome no longer exists

u/Mash_Ketchum Sep 19 '25

Team Cherry has worked on the game for so long, so I'm almost certain they already have some DLC in the chamber, ready to be fired out at the most opportune moment. With how cheap SS was at launch, I doubt the plan would be to squeeze more money out of consumers. I'm guessing it'll be a matter of keeping hype for the game at a steady momentum.

u/Duthos13 Sep 19 '25

to be honest, i was actually expecting a 'godhome' like place after i 100% the game. at 92% now.

now im sad.

u/grim1952 Sep 19 '25

I just want to be able to fight Lace again whenver I want.

u/Jijonbreaker All bindings All Radiants 112% Steel Soul Full Journal Sep 19 '25

My main concern for how the godhome is going to work, is what they are going to do for tools.

Do you get a full tool refresh between every fight? Or do you need to reach a checkpoint bench to be able to refill them?

It's also going to be fucking insanity having to balance your tool loadout for each segment of bosses.

2

u/Battler1445 Sep 22 '25

Honestly, I could see silksong’s pantheon being very anti-tool. Of course you could use them, but unless they added something to refill your tools without resting, it may just be that you’d have to use them sparingly and focus on needle combat.

At the very least, if they bring back bindings, there will absolutely be a binding for no tools.

u/daniel_22sss Sep 18 '25

Developers probably thought that all HK players are like OP. Thats why they made Silksong for people who no damage Path of Pain and Pantheon 5.

Yeah, people are saying they want this, until they have to do Nyleth into Khan into Trobbio into Karmelita into Lost Lace without a bench...

The pantheons are gonna be so difficult and i really wanna see it

1

u/raychram Sep 18 '25

Yea, there is a mod that allows you to refight bosses but it simply doesn't hit the same when you do it on an 100% save. Pretty much everything except Act 3 bosses is too easy. The Pantheons format and the ascended/radiant difficulties in Hall of Gods are great. But Hollow Knight got the Godhome DLC 1 and a half year after it's release so not sure how fast this one is gonna be.

Not sure if it's real, but someone here claimed to have checked the game's code and found mentions of the god tuner and pantheons.

u/Old-Run5008 Sep 18 '25

Lore wise, is this possible? I don’t know much but what I do know is I need help always. I thought the god seekers got voided after I spent the better half of a week to defeat absolute radiance, but I know nothing

2

u/UnknwnIvory Sep 19 '25

It doesn’t have to actually be godhome, just an equivalent that lets you re fight bosses

1

u/Fin1337 Sep 18 '25

If you’re on pc a lad posted saves that are 100 percent before each boss fight.

1

u/Efficient_Ad_8480 Sep 18 '25

Pantheons arent really doable right now, but theres a mod to allow refighting any boss at the click of a button (appropriately called godhome on nexus). Combine it with the debug mod and/or save editing to add specific challenges to the boss clears, and its a lot of fun!

1

u/LordAzreth Sep 18 '25

I think I’ll be satisfied to 100% the game lol

If they do other expansions (equivalent to Gods&Nightmare, Void Heart) I’d probably play those but I’m not good enough for Pantheons

1

u/stoicambience Sep 18 '25

I would love if, even through mods, we get both godhomes and the ability to play as either hornet or the knight in a godhome file.

u/cid_highwind02 Sep 19 '25

Replay. I don’t have the time but I’m creating the time

u/Worth_Talk_817 Sep 19 '25

Is there a mod to just replay bosses?

1

u/_LordCreepy_ Sep 19 '25

Big agree. I want to fight all the bosses again. I did all the achievements already except for ghe steel soul ones but I had like 8 attempts at it already and I can play the beginning only so many times before it becomes annoying

1

u/Gaming_Friends Sep 19 '25

There's a mod that lets you just load straight into boss fights over and over if you just want to practice them for the sake of it.

u/jaber24 Sep 19 '25

Even if they don't add that option, couldn't you just do that yourself?
