civil aspid
Fuck shit ass tit
all i know is aspids, primal aspids, aspid mothers and baby aspids
sophisticated aspid
British aspid
wtf i've never seen this in my life
Vs australian aspid
aspids are aspid hunters
is my life a lie
Abyss aspid
Hatchlings are essentially aspids
Poke
did you like- skip vengeful spirit or smth ????
You use an Aspid wound to birth them
no
i dont remember those
wtf
I feel like Squits and Hoppers are also related to aspids
they are just infected
yeah that one
that's the one i know
they're the same
that’s an aspid hunter
the other one is just a weird picture
oh
all asspids
earlier picture was mid spit
ok so i'm not delusional
Hatchlings are essentially aspids
why did i find this when i looked up aspid
Death
That looks ugly
*that looks cool
Wings
erm actually, the ancient aspid is very very big, so many of those wings are needed to support the weight
Nerd
Bug spray
what if grey mourner had whatsapp
everybody would be making fun of traitor's child's death
What if Gorb had Whatsapp
I think that's the original
he'd be excluded cause he's an alien
its just him spamming all the dreamers "I AM GORB"
so accurate
Description:
Wilder, ancestral form of the Aspid. Once thought extinct, they have reappeared at the edges of the world.
Hunter's notes:
These cruel foes will ambush you and relentlessly attack with their searing venom. How strange that their descendants are so weak. If I have children, I hope they will be stronger than me...
Dream Nail:
...Light...Danger...
...Safe...Dark...
...Hungry...Hungry...
...Scared...
...Eat...When...
...Kill...Hurt...
...Away. Away...
...Pain...
this except its just him cursing out the hollow knight for failing
awh man menderbug doesnt have dreamnail dialouge
Description:
Strange mask from a godless land, passed down over time. The design suggests the wearer's thoughts were focused through the crest.
Hunter's notes:
"Gods of Thunder, Gods of Rain! Why forsake thy servants? Will Our minds be left suffering, to ache alone? What God remains to deliver Us from this woeful silence?"
- Lament of the Godseekers
cant wait until christmas
Description:
Fully grown Vessel, carrying the plague's heart within its body.
Hunter's notes:
The old King of Hallownest... he must have been desperate to save his crumbling little world. The sacrifices he imposed on others... all for nothing.
Where are all the mask shards in forgotten crossroads I got 1 from sly I cant get the one in queens station but I have mantis claw it’s just too hard
two or three from sly, one in the goam room, one from brooding mawlek, thats all i remember
Wasn’t there one somewhere above false knight
the entire point is that hes impure
It was cut from the game
Its probably the radiance talking anyway
erm actually it makes a lot of sense as he is one of if not the most infected being in the game. he is quite literally mindless when the vessel fights him
the fuck is a goam
Description:
The light, forgotten.
Hunter's notes:
The plague, the infection, the madness that haunts the corpses of Hallownest... the light that screams out from the eyes of this dead Kingdom. What is the source? I suppose mere mortals like myself will never understand.
Dream Nail:
...ANCIENT ENEMY...
...I DO NOT FEAR YOU...
...LET ME BE FREE...
...I WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
...DAWN WILL BREAK...
...THE LIGHT CANNOT BE CONSUMED...
...I WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
ok now how does the radiance have dream nail dialogue
THAT doesnt make sense to me
aren't you in a dream
Me when i eat light
how is bro dreaming in a dream
I hear the voice lines plenty because of Hallownest vocalised it’s beautiful
Every dream boss has dream nail dialogue
oh...yeah..
How are anthropomorphic bugs wielding giant swords and killing each other
i need to get my iq checked
erm, actually.. it DOESNT MAKE SENSE.. as he still has consciousness as he literally stabs himself with his OWN MIND!!!!! why would the radiance make the hollow knight STAB HIMSELF????????
Str4y thx
Its fiction
because they're anthropomorphic.
Yes
...listen here you little shit
<@&283547423706447872>
thats him occasionally fighting back which is using every ounce of will he has (yet another fault)
<@&283547423706447872>
<@&283547423706447872>
caught me red-handed coach
lol
why doesnt he have dreamnail text when he gets hit by that then
also what was his old dreamnail text
because someone said it got removed
"...Kill the usurper. Our light it would suffocate..."
Im pretty sure
No mind to think no will to break no voice to cry suffering you are the vessel you are the hollow knight!!!!!!
No
shouldnt the hollow knights dreamnail text be the radiances dreamnail text?
"...Father?..." As well
hes basically just a vessel for the radiance atp
because his entire mind is being controlled by the radiance, which can only be entered by a crack in his skull
No, he's just carrying the radiance in their mind, but they clearly still have some control
Description:
Twisted spectre of scarlet flame.
Hunter's notes:
"The expanse of dream in past was split,
One realm now must stay apart,
Darkest reaches, beating red,
Terror of sleep. The Nightmare's Heart."
- Seer
Dream Nail:
(Nightmare Realm)
Heart of Flame...
In dreams... Born anew...
Power... Fear...
(Godhome)
Gods... bound by ritual...
Deepest power... the Heart...
Scattered lands... Nightmare binds all...
I'm late to the money scams didn't I?
the pale king describes will and mind as different things, stabbing himself could be an act of will
Dream Nail:
Get away from me!
Your smell...Kill you...
...Where is it...?
That sweet smell...Burns...
I can't....Wake up...
You want....To hurt me?
I'm not...Dead..
Am I...Sleeping?
...Light...The light...
I'll kill you!
That is true
wait..
I've never seen that before
does the infection only affect will?
It very clearly affects mind
It could affect will but not only will
If the radiance is brainrot what is nightmare
it seems that they just went insane from wanting whatever the infection was making them crave so bad
Wait... I have seen that dream nail dialogue before
Dream Nail:
(Rider)
Get away from me!
Your smell...Kill you...
...Where is it...?
That sweet smell...Burns...
I can't....Wake up...
You want....To hurt me?
I'm not...Dead..
Am I...Sleeping?
...Light...The light...
I'll kill you!
(Mount)
...Light...Danger...
...Safe...Dark...
...Hungry...Hungry...
...Scared...
...Eat...When...
...Kill...Hurt...
...Away. Away...
...Pain...
Everyone in the game describes the plague as infecting their dreams, something of the mind
It could affect will too because it returns them to base instincts
But that would also have to affect their mind
i mean
Wait the god tamer’s infected?
the quality sucks ass
why does the knight have everyone added
bruh...
i don't know, but i created it and just did stuff i saw
Bruh what
her mount is literally infected.. but you dont think the rider is..
I wonder if the Hunter adds his notes to entries because the knight shows the journal to him
everyone else in the colloseum is infected..
alr here's some better quality
Tiso die
I mean we know that some can get infected just to grow stronger I just assumed that god tamer was the same
oh yeah some do get infected to get stronger but they still go batshit insane
no traitor lord still got controlled, but i’m fairly certain all get stronger
even husk #93992928
grey mourner x cloth yuri canon
Why that one specifically
what movie is this and what year did it come out headahh
most recent husk i whacked with my nail
Bc I thought that the colosseum was removed from the whole infection thing
nvm i misread it
I'll stop trying the third pantheom
all of the bugs bleed infection
practice sly first, in the pantheons you unlock the special boss when you encounter them, not when you beat them
that's fourth pantheom
isn't sly before pv?
sly is at end of p3
practice
I hate zote so much
gimme a charm combo for p2 bc oblobbles
pogo off him when he does his run attack
BE SERIOUS
GET STRENGTH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
that one
DIVINE ATE IT AND I HAVE 8K GEOS
GRIND THE FUCKING COLOSSEUM!!!!!!!1
get outta here man we both know zote is buns in the pantheoms
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
AND ITS GEO NOT GEOS IDIOT!!!
i might start glazing zote in spite of this
typo
even if its true
still not a disagreement
all my homies hate zote
Strength more like weakness
im not ur homie then

zote is the second best npc
im talking about grey prince not the npc
you are definitly not my homie
gpz is one of my favorites
imagine dying
if you dreamnail him he isnt even that egotistical
he just puts on a preformance for whatever reason
and has clogged nostrils
Likely he does just want glory
Everyone else in the colosseum just does it for the sport
Tiso could be too
hi quantum
he did actually make it to the third colosseum
he was probably pretty good at fighting
He is extremely lucky
Yeah the colosseum was just actually unfair and threw a mawlek on his head
<@&283547423706447872>
The knight can beat hornet without any nail arts or spells
Just running around with a nail
I'm assuming since the nail arts are passed down from the great nailsage
What is canon then?
What abilities are canon in the lore of hollow knight?
idk...
Or could it be that some things don't matter to the lore unless the game tells you
Maybe it's up to interpretation
the spells, the arts, and the movement abilities
im just saying that he didnt go to hornet two without those
Says who?
You
Its up to interpretation
If you believe that then that's fine
I believe it doesn't matter because the game doesn't tell you
So
The knight can beat hornet who's not holding back without any nail arts or spells
Since the Nailsage taught the people that teach the knight nail arts
I'm gonna say sly clears
gimme a charm combo for p2 (be serious and DIVINE TOOK MY STRENGTH SO NO)
GRIND MONEY FOR UNBREAKABLE STRENGTH
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
Soul catcher mop quick slash shaman
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
okay
i was gonna say that
with that big ass nail and with how fast he can swing it he would probably turn hornet into slime
quick slash, mop, steady body, heart
next one
And soul catcher
oh uh, didn't calculate this
qs sbody shaman soul eater
true..
if you dont like sbody replace qs + sbody with qfocus and grubsong lowkey
I just don't like steady body because I'm not used to not holding forward so I keep walking into bosses
I'm just not patient enough to learn
But for one notch it seems kinda crazy
it takes like 5 minutes to get used to sbody
it is
ew spells
crazy statement
steady body the goat
Not over time, muscle memory has always told me to hold forward or at least tap it
i just suck dawg
Plus it doesn't fit in my build and I'm fine without it but I do see it's use
disregard muscle memory. my build is mop, quick slash, sshadow and steady body
Ew nails
steady body pairs well with mop and qs
i played without sbody for like the first 100 hours of playing and got used to sbody really quickly.
but to each their own
That doesn't even fit
sshadow 
Chomp
misinfo
Do you remember that one nkg gif
I use sharp shadow too
no?!?!?
stop clowning me and my sshadow
Where bro got hit 11 times while doing flame pillars
Am i the only one that remembers it wtf

me when you can pogo
how?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!
Steady body
i didnt know the attack lasted that long
I think
you mean no sbody 
I need to go find it
bro hates on spells but uses sharp shadow
me when you can dodge while doing damage faster than pogoing
then they're shit
@pulsar root I've heard you are somewhat of a nailguy yourself
21 damage to dash vs 32 damage to pogo plus 2 spare notches
except it doesn't deal extra damage it just replaces the nail slash you could've gotten in if you slashed then dashed or pogo dashed
(Not HK related but...)
I CAN FINALLY WRITE THIS
METROID PRIME 4 BEYOND LAUNCHES NEXT WEEK
10 DAYS LEFT FOR NINTENDO SWITCH 1/2

32 damage?

strength
67 damage
i've never picked up strength
Old hag spotted
maybe you should do that if you love nail so much
i don't have pure nail either
honestly yall might be right
maybe i should retire from sshadow
you can get enough hits in on nkg flame pillars to stagger him iirc
hi eloki
hi
idk
what should i replace sshadow with
i go for like 5 hits and a shriek on pillars in r5
Eloki
hi
literally fucking anything
including thorns of agony?
Agreed
except this
maybe not thorns
lol
Do i have to kill the brooding malek
stalwart would at least do something
Glowing womb
you dont have to
For pantheons and Colo, yea
Use glowing womb
And for a mask shard

I think
I just want heath
Then yes
I’m in fungal wastes I can’t get the mask shards in queens station
i'll try ig
imma never get used to not damaging when shadow dash tho
but maybe that's why i shadow dash too much

i love the tiktik it's so cute
it looks like a hamster
i love hamsters
i feel kinda bad whenever i kill a tiktik
Well, I have begun my new challenge.
beautiful
I’m going to attempt three distinct Steel Soul Runs for full Completion while using a non-Nail build.
i think i should do hollow knight steel soul mode
since i've managed to do silksong steel soul
hollow knight should be easier
First run will be the ‘Facetank’ attempt. I will try to go for 100% completion using a Charm set centralized around Joni’s Blessing.
Second run will be the ‘Mage’ attempt, focusing on Spell-related Charms to go full Caster.
yeah it’s way easier
Third run will be ‘True Memelord’ run and using a Minion-centered build.
No nail build?
Nail build is the most standardized playstyle so I am trying to attempt non-Nail build runs.
what is better: strength or quickslash
Quick slash
for PV
So i’ll be using a Joni’s Blessing-centric Facetank build, a Mage build, and a Minion build.
Strength is generally better, especially later in the game.
Bosses rarely, if ever, sit still or not retaliate long enough for you to get a lot of hits in before they either get out of range or retaliate, forcing you to back off.
i've never really liked quick slash
Dealing more Damage per hit is more valuable than hitting a lot of times, especially for how jumpy a lot of lategame Bosses are, plus certain foes have Counter-Attacks that flat-out punish you for spamming a lot of hits at once.
Pure Vessel is going to take, above all else, a LOT of practice learning its movepool.
bro grimm is so annoying
It is, to my experience, the hardest fight in the entire game. This is the ultimate test of your skill.
Grimm is fast, but has easy to read telegraphs and dodge windows.
what charms u recommend
Once you figure out his patterns, it’s just a matter of hitting him during the brief moments he’s vulnerable.
yeah but im kinda bad at that
its tricky to dodge his fireballs
Grimm is easily my favourite fight
Anything works really, though I would recommend Strength if at all possible. Make every hit against him count, since Grimm doesn’t leave chances to strike him very often.
quick slash always
His attacks are easily telegraphed
spells or nail dmg u recommend
I refer using nail in the fight
Nail hits are better. Grimm doesn’t sit still long enough for Spells to be of much use.
ok ty
There aren’t a lot of windows for spells
yeah i realized that
Quick Slash isn’t very good compared to a lot of other Nail options, though.
There’s that one where you can abyss shriek after the fire plume attack though
You could get things like Strength or Mark of Pride, which are significantly more useful.
dont got that yet
i sold my strength to divine atm but i got quick slash
Oh wait this is base Grimm I’m stupid
over quick slash?????????????????????
Oh. You’re up a creek with no paddle, then.
Godspeed, my man.
huh??
question: how did PV get through path of pain? bro is huge
quickslash is less useful than mark of pride?
Optimally, yes.
did you see the cutscene at the end
what did u take today bro
Quick Slash has its uses, but it’s very heavily situational.
it was not a fully grown vessel yet and about the same height as the knight
mark of pride over quickslash is blasphemous
what do you mean situational lol when is quickslash not viable except in like
against MAYBE soul tyrant if youre slow
It’s fine against early Bosses and foes who don’t move or are immobile outright, such as Flukemarm, but against most Bosses, especially the late or endgame Bosses, its use diminishes tremendously.
oh, right, so then did pale king just know what HK would look like later?
idt so i dont think he knew anything about the beings he created
and you get more damage you get legit infinite soul you get more movement
cuz it wouldn't make sense to instal those totems AFTER HK went through it
Qs is broken as shit
Mostly since late Bosses rarely, if ever at all, sit still long enough to make full use of that Attack Speed amplification.
nah grim is actually impossible what is this
her attacks r so unpredictable
probably to like honor it or smth
as a trophy for completing it
Fact checked with misinformation
Since most Bosses only idle for at most 3-4 seconds before either moving out of range or retaliating, forcing you to back off. And certain foes, such as Hornet or Pure Vessel, actively punish you for spamming rapid attacks due to being able to Counter-Attack you.
?
I miss seeing this reposted with a random uma
damn fine hold on
i see what ur saying, but it makes more sense for u to say that MoP over QS is more useful when ur unsure of windows/learning a boss, it absolutely isnt optimal as u said
stuck on the soul sanctum part of trial of fools
Strength and especially Mark of Pride are much better tools.
frankly I do not see the argument at all considering tk is extremely mobile
what doors can i unlock now that im king
its simply less damage and once ur competent enough on almost all bosses it is very easy to take advantage of QS
also the fact that anybody with a brain is going to disagree
maybe strength i could see a case for but mark of pride is just ridiculous
go to ancient basin
gimme best charm build for PV and pantheon of hallownest
ty
Yes but most Bosses have some counter to you staying in their proximity too long or are simply too jumpy to reliably keep in Melee range consistency.
no???????
like I have nothing to say except just like this is div 1 misinfo it’s just
don’t call them agnes bro!
not really, and once ur at a point where ur fighting bosses in an "optimal" way you should be competent enough to anticipate counters and such
and what boss can even counter
is there a way to reduce shadow dash cooldown?
Tachyon
other than pv and hornet
Strength lets you make each hit count more, especially on jumpier foes who won’t stay close or force you to fight defensively. Mark of Pride allows you a much wider margin for error and allows you to more easily deal with foes who fight at long range or score extra hits you normally wouldn’t be able to.
No
go watch beginning of a new era
also the fact that almost no one doing impressive boss plays runs MoP should tell u something
Is that a threat
Then that’ll make me the first, I suppose.
what do i do
play however you wish all power to ya
MoP is a crutch for having good distance management
but it isnt optimal at all
I’m not sure if it’s just how my playstyle clicks or whatnot, but I just find I operate more comfortably with the longer reach.
thats fair enough
door at the bottom of the map
Yo what’s MoP
why is qol salubra killer on but not working whatsoever
I can get extra hits I normally wouldn’t be able to, and it’s a godsend on fights like Soul Tyrant, The Collector, Grimm, Zote, and the Radiance.
it’s such a fucked take I’m not going to lie to you
mark of pride
qs is the best charm in godhome by a lot
Charm you can get after beating Mantis Lords, gives a large Nail Range increase.
The 1 is separate
why is pv so bs
oh
What take
qs is a mid charm
Pure Vessel is simply the game’s ultimate challenge. It’ll take a lot of practice to learn the fight.
I think most r5 victors use mop 
i’m not spreading misinformation, though?
I’m just going logically off of the Charm’s strengths and weaknesses.
I didnt know a lot of them were janitors
and the thing is just that like
there is no weakness tho
i said impressive 🤦♂️
joking
they do not matter as long as you become competent
I mean. I kind of laid it out in extensive detail.
just got trolled so hard
even with the same windows of hitting the guy, qs is better because it additionally gives soul
Wait
PV started the fight with the counter
Quick Slash is neat, but like I said it falters a lot especially the later into the game you get.
Quick slash has downsides?
i dont see like anything wrong with it
this is a matter of inexperience tbh

how far into the game r u zer0
make it 6 notches
Since less and less enemies will have idle periods of longer than 1-2 seconds at most.
shit will still be top 1
what?
I’ve currently cleared Pantheon 5/Embrace The Void and toppled every Godhome Boss on Attuned.
where the hell am i
Ooooh lqs
I think I did do a few on Ascended but I don’t have the full set yet.
2 notch quick slashhhhh
where the knight was born
this looks like hell
hi
u still here 😳
its the abyss so its very voidy
i left for like 2 hrs
lies
bru
Main weakness to Quick Slash is enemies will rarely sit still long enough to just let you go ham on them. You’re going to face enemies who either constantly get out of range or will retaliate, making it hostile to stay too close.
you get a few upgrades to some stuff in the abyss btw
Some Bosses, such as Markoth, are entirely built on basically denying Quick Slash’s whole gimmick and forcing you to fight defensively.
lowk for inexperienced players a lot of them use qs without sbody which leads to them playing rly passively with qs on harder bosses because they are scared of being knocked into an attack/off a platform and can't chase (they dont know upslash exists). I think this might explain why zer thinks theres too small of a window to make use of qs
🤔
lie
okay? just find times and yk, be good enough, im still not seeing weakness
Buff quick slash it needs to be 2 notches again
at a certain level of competence u can apply essentially constant pressure to all bosses
mayb
it makes QS so much more useful than MoP
except for when you can punish markoth 
How can you not see it?
Chomp fossil
It’s really just a matter of inexperience
me when i lie
ngl mop is a waste of notches 😳
It’s rather obvious if you’ve been playing as long as I have.
i do see it, just not at a high level of play
im not 100% on this but ive definitely seen newer players use qs and attack as infrequently as if they hadnt 
other bosses have lots of windows where you can abuse qs
why is shadow dash so unreliable
How long have you been playing
yuh
as long as your not buns at the game
1k hours btw
chomp havent you beaten r5

Well yeah but this is mostly the early Bosses who will be more merciful in that regard.
just use sb
hi avery
no
early bosses like absrad and pure vessel
yuh uh also hi avery
abs rad and pv both have opportunities
and nkg
Many endgame Bosses are very very jumpy and will either constantly relocate or retaliate frequently.
absrad is a constant window tbf
i have around 64ish hours, quickslash only helps me and many others, quite literally no harm has come from this charm
Hi avery
its literally just hell
skill issue?
you can very easily abuse qs on even jumpier bosses
I feel like
its only really like rad markoth i unequip qs on
and that's cuz im bad at the game
if u asked anyone with more than 500 hours i think every single one would disagree with u
I should record myself killing pv
or or OR I can shill my shit
quickslash is great
give me a bit
ok lets say a boss has an attack that leaves a 1 second window to attack.
without qslash thats 2 hits
with qslash thats 4 hits
thats a 200% improvement in damage and soul
Grayfire
there are literally like 5 bosses this applies to
hi grey
Look its marmu
yeah qs in theory is 30% and in practice is more like double
I mean I guess you could use Quick Slash efficiently but you’d need to feel really comfortable playing a high-risk rushdown sort of playstyle.
oh no

hihi chomp
which is the best playstyle
Violence is always the answer
literally a skill issue
oh my god I don’t have a single thing that isn’t absrad
Eh. I prefer to err on the side of caution, myself.
so true
and normally i wouldnt have a problem with disagreeing opinion but you're coming over here all "well if YOU had MY experience"
when
counting hits and punishing shield spin is all you rly need on markot but yeah he can be in some REALLY shitty positions sometimes. But you just ignore him when he does that
you're the inexperienced one here
As a whole I prefer to fight defensively rather than aggressively.
soul tyrant, no eyes, hu, marmu, vfk
sure, that can be your playstyle, but that doesnt mean you can tell everyone it sucks (qs)
every other boss qs can get insane value on
https://youtu.be/Ne56lyS_y3Y quick slash
this one is more clean than the last clear
Music:
Title: Fading Dream (Original Mix)
Album:Violetium 2
Circle: Matthiola Records
it’s just like
no eyes and vk you can use qs
Be like me and make shitty jokes to hide 
yeah imagine appeal-to-authority-ing yourself
this is a lot of inexperience
I never said it sucks i’m just saying it’s not infallible.
and being in the wrong
u don’t need to be risky to
use qs
yeah but you could at least argue against that
you did say it sucks 
especially with sb
also no eyes is rng
in comparison to the other nail charms
no eyes qs also works
you literally did
If QS is so good then why am I wanted by the IRS?
you cant move the goalposts now
Riddle me that
yeah i didnt like her i just camped the bottom mid platform
i flicked some lever in the abyss and now theres a huge lamp tahts glowing now what
I never said it sucks, though. I just said it has weaknesses.
is her tp not just 1/3 chance every time she takes damage
cross the lake
there are challenges I wouldn't take qs on though
ohh
anything marmu related
Charm binding
and that


and you didn't justify those weaknesses well 
But I did. I explained them all in very excruciating detail.
and we explained why those explanations were wrong
It feels like you’re kind of looking at the Charm with rose-tinted lenses.
I don't think so
@lone laurel
again just because you're not using a charm to its full potential doesn't mean it's bad
https://cdn.steamusercontent.com/ugc/12948390822291361172/503747CD30EBD2D059360D311024537FBF73E0A2/ @lone laurel "no opportunity to attack"
Hi chat
saying a good charm is good
Maybe i should bait like this more often
why so many descriptive words
you should take notes
Uhh
cuz they wanna sound smart without actually being smart
I hate people who thinks that everyone misunderstands them and that everyone else is just too dumb to realise when they are just wrong 
I agree
ok but thats correct
anyway guys sharp shadow is my favorite charm
people have different writing styles
so true me too
Honestly same.
how am i not surorised
Sharp shadow is better than quick slash
You're ragebaiting
sharpshadow is meh
Sharp Shadow is just free Damage at the only slight downside of adjusting to a longer Dash length.
hello
"Slight downside" Ok
I literally just tried to say the stupidest thing you could say LOL
sharp shadow is literally worse than nothing most of the time
Thorns
at a downside of 2 fucking notches
sharp shadow is outclassed by pogoing the enemy
also worse than nothing but only matters if you get hit
Chomp why is it always the sharp shadow glazers
qs gets worse the better you get vs sharp shadow is good idk which wins
question is this a serious statement
I might be going insane
leme throw more shit at the wall
silksong is worse than hk
Well sure it is. I use it quite frequently with great results.
because if so I propose the simple question of why not pogo
elegy is peak
Glowing womb is op
we can all agree steady body is the best charm and no one tell me to just walk forward
what did I walk into
wgat
can we all agree wayward compass is the best charm?
name a single situation you can use sharp shadow where pogoing isnt objectively better
im just seeing how bad this mfers charm onions are
Marmu chat
(he's currently spreading misinformation on the internet for joy and whimsy)
i like how you didn't respond to the videos that literally just proved you wrong
wait are we marmu hating now

The only real parts of the game I don’t like to bring Sharp Shadow into is White Palace and Path of Pain due to the longer Dash throwing off the proper obstacle course timing.
Yws
always
marmu is cute
We can salavge this by banishing grey
marmu isn't number 1 worst boss for no reason
I think Sharp Shadow is a fun option to mess around with, even if it isn't the objectively best charm out there
the only place i would bring ss is exploration
no bossfights
Mostly enemies who are a bit too volatile to jump over or in situations where you just need the I-Frames and are otherwise cornered.
We should explode anyone that disagrees with me
Flukemarm is the worst boss
liwk gpz was ass too
ok
enemies do not matter in hollow knight lol
it’s just inexperience
bro forgot flukemarm exists
nah gpz is really fun
sharp shadow just throws me off altogether
he's just different
its just inexperience again yeah
It's just a dps check
I think the issue with the QS thing is
at least flukemarm obeys the laws of physics
I find it helps a lot in the more crowded or chaotic fights, in particular against Zote.
Worst cuz most boring
zote????
Going back to HK really makes me miss Crests and Tools.

crystal guardian:
gpz right
Yes.
got to her with abyss shriek sooo
marmu occasionally likes breaking the laws of physics
the evaluation only works under theory that is specific to you
yea i dont use shade dash on that fight at all anyway
atleast has some gameplay you can get good at unlike flukemarm
i gotta get a faster reclear of them...
dive is better
the gameplay in question being nail spam
WHY WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO YOURSELF
and tried to apply it to everything, when qs is good in all those situations
i wanna get 30 bosses done
Dive is good for waveclearing the Zotelings, yeah.
but i agree when you can just shred flukemarm with 3 shaman abyss shrieks
this is my current progress
are you aiming for sub 2hour 04rhog or just rebeating things however quickly you feel like?
Haven’t tried hard enough
you gonna have ddark by then
damn fuck
the whole conversation is entirely subjective the only problem was the use of the word optimal
based for not doing wk
sub 2.5 hours isn't even happening lol
what are you at rn?
Uhh fuck
Same here, I could really use ||clawmirrors with witch crest and plasmium overdose|| at this moment
Dashmaster is good
let me see
Thank you for being real firered
Well. It’s optimal for me, anyhow. Not sure what you lads find optimal, but godspeed.
you moved the goalpost
in a more objectively applicable sense
We should delete sharp shadow to prevent future debates
see its not something we "find optimal" its something that is optimal
yes
I usually use Optimal in relation to what I personally have found to work well rather than in a generalist sense.
you are just blatantly incorrect
about 2:42:14
wayward the best charm
Since the game doesn’t really have a fully Optimal build, as every player will take to the game differently and find a different playstyle to their taste.
shit thats good
it does, actually
its shamans strength qs steady body
the thing is the game does have an optimal set of charms
qs sbody shamans strength filler 1 notch
I mean that’s optimal by sheer speed, sure.
maybe like 10 viable endgame charms with some being much better than others
and depending on experience switch ut random shit
you can ask any major player int he game and you will get the same answer
and for oc replace filler with mop
oc?
overcharm
overcharm
No, I won’t. Humans don’t work like that. We’re not all Speedrunners.
my bad

things can be tangentially optimal to certain play-styles, ur all just taking what hes saying too literally
then accept that you're using a sub optimal loadout
its okay
you dont constantly need to be the best
not for speedrunning, for pretty much any lategame challenge that doesn't involve charmless
Like I said in games like this everyone finds their own niche and has their own preferences.
but this is the Optimal loadout
How many more hills are we gonna die on
all of them
also speedrunning is just shamans
I blame rng for my suffering with pv
but like
i need to let off some steam i love being angry at some random person on the internet
*outside of radiance mods 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮
radiance mods aren't real
qs strength shamans +2
name 3 good radiance mods
usually sbody +1
exactly
Any radiance 1.0
2.0
3.0
purity

this is literally just a case of people using the same word to mean different things and neither being wrong bruh
Empress of light
purity, sunset rads, immlight
How is PV reading me like a damn book
the word has a definition
Honestly I find Radiance a pretty easy fight.
Wonder why
okay in my defense I hadn't heard of the third one
who asked
Because it’s Pure Vessel.
the definition doesnt adhere strictly to either use
Sonia are you in the fossil server
i personally use heart rather than shaman and add steady body but i might try using shaman more
but the fact you both named the 3 same mods also sort of proves the point there aren't many and therefore aren't real
Aka anyradcord
okay im going back to playing a good game lolll
immortallight is good but make sure you turn on the zoomout setting if you ever try it
it makes climb possible
I need a way to cheese PV
There is none.
Like I said, beating this thing will take time and patience and practice. You can’t rush this.
why would you call it a fossil server
Because it's full of fossils
Does he actually aim when he shoots the sword projectiles?
thats true
Pure Vessel is brutalizingly difficult and will punish the smallest mistake.
XD
just out of curiosity how many hours do you have in the game
pure vessel isn't really fun
yes
maybe i've just played them in the most unfun way possible though
I've never liked PV and don't plan to start now
in what way
But you love marmu
it was one of my least enjoyed 04r reclears
incorrect
D: all of the above
there is like 1 or 2 ways to dodge each attack it gets so samey
true...
but I did 04r PV in 1 try and haven't played it since so at least there is that
maybe thats just cus we've played it 1000x tho
bro where is the fog canyon cornifer
also it took me so long to reclear 04r pv that it just became miserable
i can hear him but cant find him
i don't like pv because i'm bad at pv lol
same same same same
nvm found him
you first tried 04r pv
mood for like a lot of bosses
ik but it was hidden
i took an hour to reclear 04r pv
Relative to how good I should be at the fight I am bad
I’m bad at sly but I love sly’s character does that count
God damn, PV is hard but fun
i think you should just stop commenting on your own skill
no
nah radiance is void duh
no are you dumb
Call each other washed please
shade gate is cornifer
As mid as sharp shadow is, it really carries me through the pure vessel fight
you're soooooo bad for taking 50 hours on r5 it's honestly embarassing
of all the rab bosses pv was my worst for a while

why don't you grow up and do it in 10
I need a time machine for that now
and then they disappeared LOL
idk if you like sly that isn't the samr thing i was describing but idt it matters rly
ikr
its wierd
its almost as if they were talking out of their ass
Bro dipped
how do people grow to rely on sharp shadow for PV is it just dashing through them
amusing convo though
I have around 40 hours
I gotta find some silly hill to die on some time this was fun
I return.
Lmao
round 2?
I have about 300-ish hours, upon checking.
btw. raise ur hand if qs is top 1 easily
Done everything except PoP and p5
🖐️
Sonia isn't it like 2 am there
yes
and you still don't see a use in qs late game 
but it doesn't mean I like using it
I’m an Aussie
shaman is top 1
midnight
Not really, no.
Timezone twins
i didnt see this cya
I just prefer Strength, Shaman, and Mark of Pride.
And sharp shadow?
Yes.
Okay.
thats normal
🤯
Another MoP user smh
wut
never doing pop ever
Cool people online
hi lune
you missed the mop > qs argument
scroll up
so sad
wdym it is
Indeed. I like finding neat spots of hitting Bosses in certain animations I couldn’t have otherwise struck them before.
Hi lune
How far, i saw a bit
I am not real
like?
I was gone for 2 seconds
