I hate bilewater with all my heart. That said its a pretty good area

Act 1 took me around 24 hours, 2 around 20 and im a few hours into act 3 but i assume its gonna be a bit shorter

Act 3 so far really does turn this game into a very good sequel that i would say is equivalent to HK1 into something else entirely and a solid contender for one of the greatest games ever

Groal the groat defeated

He honestly isnt that bad but man what a drag having to do the gauntlet everytime

I did Bilwater after petrified ducks so with the worm charm

Honestly isnt as bad if u come prepared tbh. But i can see this zone being a nightmare if u brute force it

Lost verdania is sooooo cool i love how there are absolutely no checkpoints in it its sooooo fun

Found some more areas to run through. Memorium. high halls, wisp thicket, sands of karak. went through the deep docks simple key door but looks like there's still something there I can't access yet

killed a few bosses. apparently I got all the silk spool upgrades. also upgraded needle twice

I think all I have left in act 2 is the upper part of cogwork core and the bilewater area

how is this lil dude sherma getting to all these places

just be popping up all over not a care in the world while I'm fighting for my life

first sinner fight was sick, prolly my fave so far

Damn shaman crest is fire

in putrified ducts, whats with the easternmost room, the one with the lake? is it an act 3 thing?

I like the crest system for the most part. But i wish it had the level of customizing that Hollow Knight 1 had.
Like, i’ll like the Architect Crest, but i dislike the down slash.

Choral tower killing me

This f***ing platforming segment for the mushroom quest is some.fucking bullshit man

but why though

it's basically just another area that's focusing more on platforming instead of fighting tbh, similar to Sands of Karak or Mount Fay

great soundtrack too

these jumping motherfuckers throwing bile darts at you are annoying but that's about it imo

Thats the thing though i suck at platforming and its so frustrating i also disliked the poisoned water thing

But yeah overrall its a pretty good area just not one ill be looking forward to revisiting

The bile water run back hate is also wayyy overhyped its really not that bad once you get the 2nd bench

yeah fair enough that you just dont like it personally but you still acknowledge its design

i was expecting hell based on the online discourse and i lowkey found one of my favorite areas

I do quite like the look and music in it as well as the lore s***s really cool

Also it did kinda feel a bit redundant to have 3 zones with that maggot water gimmick but i guess u can see it as one Big zone like the Citadel is really

Actually thats kind of true for most places in this game ive noticed

Marrow, Deep Docks and Far Fields kinda feel like one Big area same with Blasted Steps and Karak

The green prince

Dudes kind of a b**** honestly.......
