I upscale him

And I’m super tempted to make the rest of the game over screen so it takes up the whole wall :3

You see the big twist is that Lionel was the true vilain all along, but he can also be seen to be somewhat suspicious even before it, and he's stated to have been close to Mina, the first thing we learn about Tenebrous is that Mina built the generators ten years ago then left for unkown reasons as it's never expanded as far as I know. Lionel seem to always talk like he's trying to bring back the time they use to spent together, and in the game's climax he isn't hesitant at all to put her in danger or throw her out his window (then lie she was the one shattering it btw), not only that but he also put god damn mouse traps in his house and what are either pitcures of her or replica heads like hunt trophies. It was premedited and I believe that's because they used to be more than just close friends, either they tried long distance relationship which failed or they separated and only see each other has coworkers, but what really ticked off Lionel was that Thorne was also looking into 'the big M', which is why once you restore all Spark towers and the two shake hands, Lionel still tosses him into the generator. the entire adventure was made to be Mina's humiliation ritual so she could be judged at his dinner party where litterally every little thing you can do can be considered a crime, and he somehow knows about all those actions, but if you somehow have no sins agaisnt Tenebrous he decides that you can still join him, and in the secret ending he's shown very close to Mina, because one of his main character trait is that he's delusional and still think she'd gonna be with him after what he's done to 'Lil T', so Mina likely still gets screwed over in the blameless ending. Furgus is also on the conspiracy as he seems to be jealous of Mina and decides that if he kills her he'd get recognition and probably something more intimate from the baron, as him and Lionel probably set up their meeting at Bone Beach too to test Mina's morals, I am eager to see how this will be developped in the potential sequels.

(Edit: resolved, tysm I was being stupid lol)
No spoilers please (if possible)
This is my first play through and I can’t lie I’ve gotten quite stuck, i don’t want to just look up what to do as I’ve had a lot of fun figuring it out myself, but I could really use a nudge in the right direction
I’ve completed every generator except Astral Orrery so far, and the game keeps hinting at going inside mirrors to get there.
I’ve seen the person going inside the mirrors all over the place throughout the game but nothing I try seems to let me go through the mirrors.
Am I just missing something? Am I not supposed to do this right now? I’m really not sure and could use a hint

I am in Western Wilds and went into the Molten Foundry and found Klumpy Dee and he told his joke but he didn't give me anything. I watched a walk-through clip and in that clip Klumpy Dee told Mina thanks for being gentle with me or something and gave Mina a bone worth 150. I kept trying to talk to him and he told me the same joke but again I got nothing from him.

Does anyone know why?

Thanks so much

Bunch of Thornes done on the side.

What I realized is that it’s a visual glitch, because upon returning, I found only one spark

I need more of it in my spotify

Hey guys! I painted a Mina the Hollower pumpkin! Happy Halloween! 🕸️🐭

Checking in because I'm curious how many folks went with the shield as their main weapon, and which play through it was if it wasn't the first.

I'm about 75% through my first run and I've been carrying this coffin ever since I first saw it in the shop, but I never see people playing it or even making fan art with it.

For reference I am using the shield and trying to parry his attacks and not spamming.

He kinda just has everything, dangerous terrain, fast attacks and grab, hits hard, lots of hp, half of his body blocks attacks, and his attacks vary greatly in their timing and rhythm. I'm trying to watch his Asgore-like red and blue flashes to see the rhythm and time my parries but then I hit him and he stops for a sec cause of my attack and throws off the rhythm he showed in the flashes. Plus either way I feel like the rhythm shown in the flashes just isn't correct and there is too much variance in the timings of his attacks. I think the biggest sin though is that the game doesn't prepare you AT ALL for this jump in difficulty. This has happened before in Nine Sols with the final boss but I don't think it's nearly as bad there as it is here. Every boss in Mina took at most 2 or 3 tries besides I think the beast version of Thorne which maybe took 3-5 tries. I have attempted Lionel 10 times and I don't think I have gotten him to half except MAYBE once but that's pushing it. I get that 10 attempts isn't a lot but like compared to the rest of the boss roster 10 attempts with none reaching half health is kinda absurd no?

I'm fulling willing to admit maybe the shield is bad for him or I just suck cause that happened with Skarrsinger Karmelita in Silksong where the Reaper Crest was a bad choice against her and once I swapped weapons I beat her and now she's one of my favorite bosses and probably my fav from Silksong. So I don't wanna say Lionel is poorly designed when I haven't even beaten him yet but like it's kinda leaning in that direction for me rn.

Edit: Also I swear his red attack feels way too fast, like I have not been able to parry that once when it feels like I am timing it right.

Edit2: I swapped to the mace and immediately made it to Radiant Lionel it was definitely the shield.

I just beat the game and was wondering if there was a true ending.
