Which crest are you using?

[–] edinbruh@feddit.it 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Beast with long claw. It's wide and the up attack reaches far behind hornet. I find it comfortable for juggling

[–] CarrieForle@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You did not score a 71 with beast pogo right 😭

Nono! I meant for juggling! I did bounce with wanderer. Tho I only started using wanderer yesterday when I realised I can just use longclaw to extend its puny range. Before that my main was reaper, I used it for everything except broodmother and unravelled

[–] froufox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

not sure if longclaw affects it tho, it seems that all tools are off when you do challenges. also, realising one thing helped me a lot in this challenge. i may say it if you like (but maybe you already know)

[–] edinbruh@feddit.it 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

It does not affect it, but I checked after posting that, but I didn't know.

Sure, shoot, I'm gonna use all the help I get for this. Except getting shaman crest, I'm dead set on doing his before progressing further in act 3.

P.s. also, I'm back to reaper, I think it lingers just a bit longer than beast and it's basically just as large. I'm not sure tho

[–] froufox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

it's not necessary to strike up to juggle them. you can do a regular strike sideways. i didn't notice it from the beginning, but it did help me a lot completing the challenge. i also didn't jump too high and mostly ran sideways sweeping the ground when there are a lot of fleas, and especially when they happened to land far away from each other. but of course, try to "group them" and send same direction as best as you can.

[–] edinbruh@feddit.it 2 points 1 week ago

Ah, I already knew that. But I think they go further when you strike sideways. Anyway, in the meantime I got 37, so I'm fine, for now

After a certain event, the high score ceiling will be raised and you’ll have to do these again :) that is if you want to beat that new high score as well

[–] edinbruh@feddit.it 1 points 1 week ago

Someone already told me, but that's a later problem for later me. Also, I'm not sure what that drops, but it does not drop pale oil

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What is this, some sort of even more twisted version of FMK?

[–] edinbruh@feddit.it 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 2 points 1 week ago

'Fuck, marry, kill,' a twisted 'what if' game in which one is given a list of three people and must choose one to fuck, just once and never get to see again, one to marry, so you are together long term, and one to kill, so you never have the chance to be with them, etc.

So, who do you want to Dodge, Juggle, and Bounce? *eyebrow wiggling intensifies*

[–] ruuster13@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

gg guys. gg hornet.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How do you do any of those things... to yourself? Isn't Hornet the character you play as? 🤨

[–] edinbruh@feddit.it 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The moment I posted I already knew someone would just look at the 69 ignoring what I was talking about. I'm just surprised it took this long

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Actually was more confused that Hornet is in the mix at all; didn't even think to make a joke about 69ing lol

I just meant how do you juggle, dodge and bounce off yourself? Unless I am totally misunderstanding what this chart is showing (I assumed it was the total times you did those actions against the enemy shown by the number). I haven't played Silksong yet so maybe I am just way off base 😅

[–] edinbruh@feddit.it 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's a mini game, where you need to beat some NPC's high score to get an item. I was complaining that my 30 score doesn't count as beating the high score

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 1 week ago

Ahh. Yeah, I hate that too. It's pretty common for games to say you lost if you tied.
