Who is harder? ||Pure Vessel|| or ||Nightmare King Grimm||?

proud haven

#

Why’s that?

proud haven
#

I think nkg is easier to doge

#

Dodge

foggy sable
#

they are similar imo

#

with pv being a bit more complicated

wide jolt
#

Lowkey Grimm is harder for me, idk why

#

Vessel is predictable, and easy/easier to counter attack

fallow grotto
#

please no more parties in la 😳

wind violet
#

Ain’t gonna lie

#

Pure vessel

#

NKG seems so easy to me now but I still get slammed by pure

solar owl
copper ingot
wind violet
#

In my opinion

solar owl
keen thorn
#

Practice makes the master really

wind violet
#

I’ve beaten attuned and ascended on NKG but not past attuned on pv

keen thorn
#

The more you do a boss the slower it feels

wind violet
#

I spent 2.5 hours grinding NKG attempts until I could practically no hit him

sick pivot
#

Hello nonchalant hollow knight players

wind violet
#

Pure vessel I just sat in hall of gods til I could barely beat him

wind violet
sick pivot
keen thorn

#

Nkg is harder imo

#

He has a variety of attacks that you need to react differently to

#

Meanwhile most of PV’s attacks you can shade cloak through and they give you enough time window to recharge cloak

#

I managed to beat PV in 5 tries meanwhile NKG took me around an hour

wind violet
#

Pure vessel focus + immediate slam attack gets me without fail 😭

reef relic
#

Focus attack is a window for heals tbh

wind violet
reef relic
#

If you want to get easy damage in just Ddark for iframes

wind violet
#

I always forget about Ddark

reef relic
#

If you want a heal just shade out of the initial focus and the moment the other smaller attacks are telegraphed you can heal

wind violet
#

I use full nail build because I forget to use spells a lot

#

Ngl never tried it but shape of unn might be godly for that attack

reef relic
#

The PV stagger is risky, sometimes you can get two heals in, sometimes their next attack comes in too quickly and double damage happens

#

It’s safer to just heal 1, but with quick focus you can safely put 2 in

#

Idk man I’m a PV enthusiast

wind violet
wind violet

#

And you can abyss shriek when they parry, it won’t activate it

keen thorn
# wind violet I always forget about Ddark

Why are you dying ☠️ to bosses 👨🏼? You should just be using descending dark 🕶. Descending ⬇️ dark 🕶️ gives you iframes 👀 which stop 🛑 you taking damage 😔. It also does a🅰️🅰️ lot of damage 😢. Stop 🛑 dying ☠️ to video 📻📻👾 game 👾 bosses 👨🏼 and just use descending ⬇️ dark 🌑

reef relic
#

When in doubt, Ddark

wind violet
#

Perhaps

keen thorn
wind violet
#

I rarely die to normal pure vessel tho

#

Ascended tho…

keen thorn
#

If you're facing left when casting it will trigger the parry
If you're facing right it won't

wind violet
#

Interesting little mechanic

reef relic
#

I only ever abyss shriek when they’re doing the ground slam + spikes

keen thorn
#

Yeah that's a free window

#

The others are not worth the risk imo

reef relic
#

Because you can’t hit them through the spikes without taking knockback

keen thorn
#

Unless you're going for speedkills

wind violet
#

I just stay in the air most of the fight unless I fall off

#

I used steady body for hornet 2 when I didn’t have shade cloak and never again

reef relic
#

My PV build is usually Quickslash Strength Sharp shadow and either shaman stone or quick focus

#

Shaman stone for damage or quick focus if I’m feeling like a coward

knotty ravine
wind violet
#

I use mop instead of shaman

keen thorn
knotty ravine
#

well having a steady body is generally a good thing

keen thorn
#

Samsara knightyes

knotty ravine
#

well samsara becomes a guy in the game

reef relic
#

Eh you can unequip steady body for bosses that already get hit around

#

Like sly or lost kin

keen thorn
knotty ravine
#

if anything you benefit more from sb

keen thorn
#

Like NKG or PV are nice but Knockback bosses benefit the most

knotty ravine
#

cuz u get to push them into corners and keep up aggro

keen thorn
#

Yep

wind violet
#

I get screwed over every time I use SB because my brain automatically tries to account for the knockback so I end up walking into a boss

#

It’s a play style thing

keen thorn
#

Including mop and longnail

#

Because roof spikes on pop are apparently evil

knotty ravine
#

which can be fixed by playing with the charm for 15 minutes

wind violet
#

Path of pain is like 1/3 things I still have left to do for the og game

#

Maybe I’ll do them once I finish skong

Once you reach the top, you’ll have to confront what is quite possibly the toughest Boss in the entire game, and Hollow Knight’s ultimate challenge. Brace yourself.

Absrad at least is a lot more low-intensity and slow-paced and offers far wider of a margin for error.

waxen helm
#

😔

foggy sable
#

absrad is just more difficult then pv

#

there is no real argument to the contrary

wind violet
#

Agree

lone laurel
#

Pure Vessel will mop the floor with you in mere seconds flat, Absrad more benefits from the fight dragging out and slowly wearing you down over time.

wind violet
#

Practice in the hall of gods for a while and pantheon 4 is ez

lone laurel
#

Main thing i’ve noticed that helps a lot is getting up in Absrad’s fluffy face and doing as much Damage as you can in as little time as you can.

#

Don’t get pinned down by the projectile spam, just focus on closing the gap and not letting the glorified lightbulb keep making distance.

keen thorn

#

In all my time here I've only seen another one

#

It's valid, but don't pretend PV is harder

wind violet
#

Dude I struggle with base rad more than pv

keen thorn
#

Because it is not

foggy sable
#

the other scenario where pv can be harder is when absrad is extremely practiced and PV is not

#

but that doesn't really count

maiden pond
#

"Traitor's child"

lone laurel
#

Pure Vessel is just, to my experience, a much more ruthless experience.

wind violet
#

Lol

lone laurel
#

You have no room to breathe, very few if any Heal spots if you do take Damage, and every single move from the Boss eats up like 85% of arena width, not to mention how freakishly tall the thing is.

keen thorn
#

Without the platforming

foggy sable
#

consider though, the humble jump

keen thorn
#

Or the overlapping attacks

foggy sable
#

makes pv fine

lone laurel
lone laurel
#

Eh true it’s about as close as she gets.

keen thorn
#

And PV melee is not hard to dodge at all
Just jump or dash it just works

lone laurel
#

Main thing is Absrsd just feels a lot more forgiving as a fight since you have more space to work with and more time to react to things. With Pure Vessel you’re in a fairly enclosed space and facing constant, relentless spam of huge AoE attacks that come out in very very rapid succession.

keen thorn
#

Most attacks don't cover much space above him

#

The air is extremely free

#

That's why jumping is so powerful

lone laurel
keen thorn
#

And he also only attacks behind him during the focus

foggy sable
#

wait are you the quickslash person is that where I recognise the name

keen thorn
#

So dashing is also extremely powerful

Hello

thorny tusk
#

I'm tired

keen thorn
#

Bruh

foggy sable
#

and you're the irab markoth person

#

no way

lone laurel
#

Honestly i’m not sure why it is I don’t really struggle much against Absrad. Part of me thinks it might be because of the Nightmare King mentality since Absrad is essentially just a sped-up Radiance with one more Phase at the end.

foggy sable
keen thorn
lone laurel
#

Like by the time you confront Absrad you essentially know what to expect going into it so all you really need to do is adjust to the increase in tempo and it’s more or less the same fight.

keen thorn
foggy sable
#

this is the third conversation I've had that I can remember, the first was that irab markoth doesn't seem like it would be one of the hardest. Bear in mind this was in a conversation with 2 people who have dabbled in irab so know how awful it would be.

The second was that quickslash wasn't that good a charm compared to the other options in a nail build

#

and this is the third

keen thorn
#

Both pairs are in a fundamentally distinct level due to the sped up

#

Ok irab Markoth are you fr

lone laurel
keen thorn
#

It's THE hardest

foggy sable
#

I'm being generous here

keen thorn
#

Collector gets a pass because of the Baldur cheese

steel umbra
#

wait what does irab mean

keen thorn
foggy sable
#

because you can make an argument for collector or something idk

steel umbra
#

oh god

keen thorn
#

Itemless means the gear of starting a new file

#

Just old nail and focus

#

Which you can't even use in radiant

foggy sable
#

the qs thing is where I recognise the name

#

because it was so funny

frozen hull
#

Gaynio

lone laurel
#

I still don’t get why Markoth is considered all that tough of a foe to do this on. He’s pretty bare-bones as far as Boss standards. Two attacks to his name and an utterly passive, non-aggressive movement pattern.

#

is there a mod for path of pain into pantheon 5

hollow knight is HORRIBLE its a HORRIBLE GAME i HATE hollow knight its the WORST game ever (i died to ascended soul tyrant again)

Soul Tyrant is indeed an annoyance.

He’s the annoyance

sullen thicket
#

markoth is rng as a boss

lone laurel
keen thorn
#

You can barely move

#

You can barely climb

#

And you can barely hit him

keen thorn
#

At any moment he'll fly by and put you in a crazy precarious situation

sullen thicket
#

path of pain but unkillable markoths chase you

lone laurel
#

Just wait the old fart out and nick away at him as opportunity presents itself.

keen thorn
#

It's the only possible irab that has not been done

#

And not to a lack of trying

lone laurel
frozen hull
#

Gaynio what's irab

sullen thicket

#

You cannot move mate

Just be patient, keep track of the Nail spawns, and mind his Shield.

Ok try irab Markoth and record it

Markoth mostly demands very small, precise movements from you and little adjustments. Just don’t panic and you should make it through alright.

just the middle still really sucks lol but I could see it happening eventually if that's the case

But most arent and are instead just annoyingly difficult or long

keen thorn
wind violet
cinder jackal
#

I wonder what the strat would even be though

keen thorn
#

Maybe Te-ano knows

sullen thicket
#

soul tyrant is impossible right

keen thorn
#

Idk how much he's tried

cinder jackal
#

all i can see is the "live" strat

keen thorn
#

Or if he's the one that has tried the most

shrewd nymph
# wind violet Which?

Absrad (cant enter plats without djump), tl (energy wall) and probably some others

lone laurel
#

I think a good blessing in Markoth’s case is that his projectiles aren’t too terribly big and they travel fast enough that they shouldn’t build up and clutter too much space. Just gotta dodge each of them, one at a time.

shrewd nymph
#

I dont play itemless

#

I think its a bit silly

I know Te-ano and Meteorcow did as well

I swear watcher knights was done recently

And well TL and AbsRad for obvious reasons

shrewd nymph
#

Ofc

#

Lock in and do markoth genio

keen thorn
#

No

cinder jackal

#

is there a mod that puts you in pantheon 5 after you beat pop

fallow grotto
#

no one has done markoth at all 🤔

#

😳

#

surprising

keen thorn
#

I believe eloki did finish it but idk

shrewd nymph
#

And insider info, tl is possible with 0.00000000001% rng you gotta believe me

keen thorn
#

It's just the insane 3.6k hp

#

And they're not easy while doing it

shrewd nymph
sullen thicket
#

what is tl

cinder jackal
#

yeah that checks out

frozen hull
#

Traitor Lord

lone laurel

#

Yeah very RNG as well I know tyrant and gpz can have undodgable patterns

shrewd nymph
cinder jackal
#

does any% count

sullen thicket

#

doing markoth seems like suffering though 🤔

foggy sable
#

soul tyrant was done with a mod to remove phase 2 undodgeable patterns

keen thorn

why should they patch it

Because it's an annoying trick that puts a limit on speedruns and is really bad for the hands

onyx wigeon
#

you don't need hands to be honest

pastel umbra

And in general it is unintended behavior after all

cinder jackal
# mighty flicker Like 30 mins in

not too good at very basic advice but uhh
I think for that time you should just play fairly safe by making sure you don't corner yourself and only use fb on slashes

Btw quantum, you did irab collector right?

carmine lava

no lol

mighty flicker

cinder jackal

don't overextend and make sure you're properly keeping track of what they farther watcher is doing

#

oh you have dive

#

abuse that

mighty flicker
carmine lava
#

my hardest collector challenge is just -14r

#

or dive and dream nail only item ab radiant

keen thorn
#

How much harder is it that 04r

carmine lava
#

whatever sounds harder to you

cinder jackal
#

you can do like side slash while jumping>pogo>dive on slashes for good safe damage

carmine lava
keen thorn
carmine lava
#

progression is usually 04r, 04r nna, 04r nma nna, then -14r

#

by the time you get to -14r you don't really use nail arts anyways

only 1/13th the health of a minion

keen thorn

Well you still try to get the most spells right?

carmine lava
#

yes

#

but you don't need nail arts to use a lot of spells

mighty flicker
cinder jackal
#

if i were to run lp any% in an event would it be smart to do ismas route

keen thorn
#

Exactly

#

Narts are slow

#

And with 2 damage over 1 they don't have many interaction changes

carmine lava
#

they might actually be optimal for speedruns but i don't remember

cinder jackal

#

-14 speedruns?

carmine lava
#

04r

cinder jackal
#

pretty good

cinder jackal
keen thorn
#

Ah that sounds more legit

onyx wigeon
#

what's up with -14

mighty flicker
#

Ok

cinder jackal

refers to 1.3+

mighty flicker

but most of the time means 1.5.78

seems less intuitive then 104r imo

carmine lava
foggy sable
#

I will

carmine lava
#

people are gonna stick with -14r though

cinder jackal
#

-14r looks cooler

carmine lava
#

also in what grey said you're kinda saying the nail damage twice lol

solar owl
foggy sable
#

well sort of but the 0 still implies white spells

#

I guess -104r would be better but like

carmine lava
#

white spells is just implied

onyx wigeon
#

it looks like a math equation

#

💀

carmine lava
#

really why would you do a 1 nail damage challenge with black spells

#

unless it's like r5 maybe

foggy sable
#

because it would be interesting

carmine lava
#

it's just slightly longer regular gameplay

#

unironically

foggy sable
#

not really, in ab nail damage and nail arts are still a significant amount of the damage

#

getting an additional nail hit in is still worthwhile whereas with 1 nail damage it just wouldn't be

#

it would play different probably

carmine lava
#

i don't know why you would do 1 nail damage black spells ab over old nail white spells ab when one of them is significantly more standard and just intuitive honestly

wind violet
#

Ts too technical for me

foggy sable
#

because black spells would be much less annoying over a pantheon length run?

wind violet
#

Later

foggy sable
#

well as in it wouldn't take like 2.5 hours

winter yacht
#

Tbh the nail damage kinda doesn't matter when spells primarily carry when it comes to damage output

At some point you stop looking at the nail for damage to come out of it and just use it to gain soul to blast more spells out as quickly as possible

#

That's my goofy take on this

foggy sable
#

it is like saying why would you ever play charm binding when ab exists

foggy sable
carmine lava
#

no

foggy sable
carmine lava
#

all i said is that 1 nail damage black spells ab is a lot more random than 04

winter yacht
#

Communities make up silly challenges all the time

foggy sable
#

well the point of the acronyms is that they convey information, if the acronym misses a number then it changes what is implied

Is true love a real thing nowadays?

I'm going to be honest it took me a while to decipher what 04r meant
Because it wasn't really a thing talked about when I was playing very actively
I was around when afaIk only one person did Low% Godhome. Which if I'm understanding correctly is close to 04r? But yea... that's new. Also there was like 5 r5ab clears. PureAndInnocent

I'm definitely feeling that shock. I have 600 hours on this game and I know the placement of every geo rock relative to various landmarks atp. I've more than lost sanity to this game

I don't think I'll ever need a crossbow so it's a little silly to me. I'm in Canada where honestly the wildlife is pretty chill and if it was not chill I'd probably need something more powerful than a crossbow

Now I think abt it if grubs turn into butterfly's then why is grandpa gub so old

#

Does 1 out of like 100 randomly get old or smt

winter yacht
#

I think one grub is like the "king" and it's the biological cocoon for the grub hive to become butterflies and possibly reproduce?

solar owl
#

Would that give people a reason?

halcyon crescent
#

Yes it would give a reason

#

I have no idea if u saw my first one bc it deleted for me

solar owl

#

Well 90% of the time in a randomizer, that one Queen's Gardens grub actually has something important

I hate having to do that check so it trolls me
It also likes requiring GPZ by putting important things there

Here's some advice: maybe don't attempt GPZ with only nail 1, left dash, wings and wraiths. Yea?
