Oh

well in that case, good job with the ending you got  

[Shard of Reading]

I'm necroing this thread because it's an absolute crime that this is dead(ish) and, dream versions of bosses are a pain in the butt. (I can't seem to get to the second stage of any The Radiance, NKG, and Grey Prince Zote.) Any tips or tricks would be wonderful.

[danex]

man, i havent played this is a while, I should get back into it
last I remember I was trying to get he 5 hour speedrun achievement.

i still need to beat radiance on my main file, kinda just beat HK and never went back. Got distracted by grimm and godseeker and other stuff. 

i let zote die so can't help with that =P

NKG just took me days and days of grinding iirc
I could probably help with like, specific attacks and what I did to doge them, but I'd need to refresh my memory first.

[Frustration]

I saw this

@Frustration the skill time and patience players had to have had to do that is honestly insane.

And @Danex honestly my problem with NKG is bad muscle memory. I try to dodge his attacks, but they are timed just differently, and have slightly different animations, which leads me to run into things that shouldn't have hit me.

Have you tried Perpetual Boob's boss guides? While I haven't beaten NKG myself, he goes very in depth with every boss in the game outside the Dream Warriors. I probably would not have ever made it through my first save file without those videos.

I mean I kind of already beat NKG... But I will keep that in mind for Pure Vessel.

Greenpath looks a little different from what I remembered today.

That is, uh, interesting. I see the infection has reached new heights.

Update x2

Well, I've done quite a lot recently. I've beaten every boss on Radiant, done all the bindings on pantheons 1-4 (Separately except for 1 and 2), and have the nail and shell bindings on pantheon 5. Oh, and I've gotten past 57 on the endless ordeal.

Probably Mantis Lords, but it’s close. (Due to how little of the game I’ve played, though, that could very easily change.)

That's fair. I like the Mantis Lords. They're not my favorite, but they're close.

Room randomizer is hilarious.

Just want to say that I recently beat the Radiance and I'm very happy.

However, I'm still stuck on watcher knights in my second playthrough.

"While I haven't beaten NKG myself"

Well, as of yesterday, that statement is no longer true!

[Wyndlerunner]

While I hate double posting, it felt relevant to bring up the fact that we have Silksong news! A new gameplay trailer was shown off at the Xbox and Bethesda showcase last Sunday, where it was revealed that not only will Silksong be a GamePass game day 1, but also that all games showcased will be out within the next 12 months, including Silksong! 

Following that, in a spree of sheer hype powered adrenaline, I finally took down the Radiance and got the Dream no More ending! Now all that's left for me to do is Godhome stuff (except P5 since, while this game has made me into a gaming masochist, I'm not that masochistic). 

[NameIess]

Silksong looks storming awesome!

[Mat]

It looks really hard xD
