[summer spruce]

lol thats what no sleep gets me

[earnest widget]

how do i minimize the rng on failed champion?

[proud haven]

Very fair reason for a goofy typo fr

[earnest widget]

i know i can hit the rocks upward, but i can't always react to them on time

[proud haven]

Then hit them at him

Why upward fr

They do damage

[earnest widget]

when i dash and i end up directly under a rock

[verbal pumice]

why do you say "fr" all the time😭

[proud haven]

Hit them at him

[proud haven]

I like it fr

[earnest widget]

yeah, spells do make it easier

[verbal pumice]

fr fr no cap???

[proud haven]

Ong bro

[pliant tree]

RADIANCEB

OSS

FHT

ITS FUCKING

IMPOSSIBLE

BRO

WHAT THE FUCK

AM I SUPPOSED TO DO

[earnest widget]

but it's right after markoth so i can't be sure i have such commodities as more than one spell per stagger

[pliant tree]

2 MASK DAMAGE EVERY SINGLE THING

UNPREDICTABLE ASS

[verbal pumice]

dont die

[pliant tree]

AND THE FUCKING BLS

[pliant tree]

stfu

holy shit

unaintfunny

[verbal pumice]

lmao

[proud haven]

Correct me if I'm wrong fr
I thought gpz was in between them and he's easier to end with full soul

Imo

[pliant tree]

stfu 106% completion

[earnest widget]

i avoided gpz so that i don't have to fight him

[pliant tree]

"glass soul" bro tf inventing new words💔

[tropic marten]

vro doesnt know glass soul

[paper narwhal]

and I’m stuck on soul sanctum

[earnest widget]

gpz is way too tough and it's right after markoth, so i don't think i wanna deal with that

[velvet pecan]

PEAK GAME

[tropic marten]

can u die in Ghome in glasssoul

[proud haven]

Oh dude that's sad he's really really fun
Feels like having another boss as good as pure vessel absrad and nkg who's like only really about as hard as white defender if you're not in radiant or all bindings

[hidden onyx]

I BEAT HORNET 2 😃

[tropic marten]

congrats

[hidden onyx]

Im so happy XD

[earnest widget]

idk i find him way too rng reliant

and has too short telegraphs

[proud haven]

I mean fair
I've heard people say stuff like that

[tropic marten]

what is steel soul glass

[earnest widget]

i don't find him unfun, i just think P5 is already hard enough without him

[limber arch]

hi guyts

[pliant tree]

Radiance is harder than pantheons

[earnest widget]

yeah

[left sparrow]

glass soul is 1 hit = save wipe iirc

[tropic marten]

steel+glass

[pliant tree]

bro u prob

cheat

omfe u get hit

unrefuse to delete

[tropic marten]

so CfM is useless in steel soul glass & glass soul?

[proud haven]

Chain Father Man

Idk what cfm means is the joke btw
Very humorous

[tropic marten]

TortureExpensive Silence

[verbal summit]

chat in the game files what room is galien in considered?

[tropic marten]

i cant believe HK discussion is this dead even after SS release

[knotty ravine]

effectively yes

[tropic marten]

wdym

[knotty ravine]

though this is really nothing new. that charm sucks

[tropic marten]

still useful in some way?

[brittle flame]

hollow knight players when the game isn’t hard enough so they have to make half the screen end your run in one hit with a 30% hitbox size increase

[proud token]

update: i beat it lol

[knotty ravine]

if youre anywhere that's not overworld, i guess you very occasionally get saved

but you dont die in dream fights, so who really cares

[delicate hemlock]

Hardest part of glass soul are P1-4

If you've done radhog you can prob do glass soul but the Pantheons are a different beast

[knotty ravine]

you can make it so cfm has the opportunity to proc in those places you dont die in

[delicate hemlock]

True...

[earnest widget]

i've seen discord channels about whole game series that are still releasing games, in relatively large servers, be deader than this

[tropic marten]

shitty charm

yes NOTHING is saving u in SSG and GS

[proud haven]

Omg I love you doordash I am so happy I got my mcdonalds fr

[knotty ravine]

and that block chance is retained in places like radhog, for example

[tropic marten]

when u get hit and die (in a dream), does % increase?

[knotty ravine]

in theory, it should also work for stuff like dream bosses

still a bad charm though

[tropic marten]

what do u think of magnetite dice

shitty too?

[verbal summit]

CHAT I BEAT GALIEN AND GOT THE LAST ESSENCE I NEED LESS GOO

[tropic marten]

holy shit its worse

[knotty ravine]

yes but it's actually pretty good for the sole reason that it does not compete with like anything

[fresh garnet]

tips for sheo in p2?

[tropic marten]

nice 0.2% on wanderer tho

[knotty ravine]

that is the only reason dice is actually a good amulet

[verbal summit]

CHAT

[fresh garnet]

NICE

try to dreamnail the seer

im fighting him for the first time

a while back i saw something with like the colors of paint but i forgot what was what

idk

im on the godseeker room rn

finding the video now

[tropic marten]

wanderer crit chance:
no M dice: 1 in 50
M dice: 1 in 45.454545......

[fresh garnet]

yes

aight

[gloomy trail]

I'm not sure if I'm doing something brave or stupid... p1 with all bindings (first attemt with any ammount of bindings)

[fresh garnet]

i found the video

[gloomy trail]

Vengefly King took me 5 minutes

[fresh garnet]

FIRST TRY

[worthy peak]

its not to hard

[gloomy trail]

i just did hornet hitless??

[worthy peak]

I did that first try by chance

ITs strange i was just really good at those bosses for me overall skill level i think

[fresh garnet]

is p3 hard?

[worthy peak]

although then again every other pantehon has at least one annoying ab boss

[worthy peak]

compared to what?

[fresh garnet]

p2

[young canopy]

Yeah , you fight god tamer , grimm and sly

[worthy peak]

its definitely hardder

[fresh garnet]

OH

IF I KILL GOD TAMER I FINISH MY JOURNAL

[worthy peak]

god tamer and grimm do not belong on that list imo but then again i find all of them easy by now. Galien nd GPZ are way harder

[misty umbra]

Grimm is like the easiest part of p3

[worthy peak]

I dont think it counts in the pantheon

:(

[fresh garnet]

I GOTTA KILL GREY PRINCE ZOTE??????????

[worthy peak]

well did you fight him in dirtmouth

[fresh garnet]

but i got the sheo journal entery

[fresh garnet]

ya

[worthy peak]

those are special cases

[fresh garnet]

im on level 3 anyway

[fresh garnet]

oooh

ok

[worthy peak]

cause they ONLY exxxist in the pantheons

[fresh garnet]

makes sense

i dont think i can do pantheon 3

[worthy peak]

the nyes

[fresh garnet]

cuz isnt god tamer a boss?

it doesnt

[worthy peak]

yeah but not that hard just pogo him

[fresh garnet]

oh

thats good

[worthy peak]

special case dont need to beat him before P3

[fresh garnet]

i just found that out

[worn hamlet]

yay more p5 shell binding attempts

[young canopy]

Fuck i died to no eyes in P5 💔

[worn hamlet]

rippies

[young canopy]

Didn't expect that

[worthy peak]

:)

[young canopy]

I was scared of markoth and absrad

[worn hamlet]

ye noeyes does tend to catch me off guard too sometimes

[young canopy]

Her arena in P5 is freaking hard

[worn hamlet]

ig so, requires a little more focus than regular

[fresh garnet]

i have like no hp for the collecter

[worthy peak]

Its mean

[worthy peak]

get better at elder hu i guess

[fresh garnet]

i killed trhe collector anyways

[worthy peak]

:) guess its okay

[fresh garnet]

i have 4 masks for god tamer

[worn hamlet]

I have 4 masks total :D

[worthy peak]

should be enough. :)

[fresh garnet]

fuck

[earnest widget]

markoth

[worthy peak]

except for lack of practice against god tamer

[fresh garnet]

welp

lets do it again!

[worthy peak]

thats the spirit!!!!

[winter yacht]

Why are you giving 4 masks to Collector
He doesn't need more things

[worthy peak]

death is temporary

[worn hamlet]

yey lifeblood

[worthy peak]

for the knight

[marble blaze]

yo guys who can help me with a small project i have ? iam trying to finish it before the pi day

[worthy peak]

what project

[winter yacht]

Before March 14?

[worn hamlet]

depends if you're playing steel soul or not

[marble blaze]

yes

[worthy peak]

to be fair i hear canonically steel soul is more accurate

[young canopy]

He didn't die once in the lore

[worthy peak]

but this is godhome so you don't die anyway

[worn hamlet]

I mean tk being immortal, or any character being immortal for that matter, wouldn't make that much sense when we literally see other vessels' corpses

[marble blaze]

a pi server on discord i need a few guys from diffrent time zones who can use replit to run the code while iam not up

[worthy peak]

ahh i wish i could help but my inconsistent timing will prevent that kind of thing

[winter yacht]

Likewise

[worthy peak]

also why does this code need to be constantly ran

[marble blaze]

it like the cool thing about it

[fresh garnet]

i died again

[worthy peak]

be prepared to die a lot

you might not but always be prepared

[fresh garnet]

who is good practice for godtamer?

[dry hamlet]

I just checked my completion percentage

I have 107% completion

[fresh garnet]

oh wait

[worthy peak]

god tamer

[fresh garnet]

hes in the hall of gods now

[dry hamlet]

Im guessing my last 5% are the pantheons and NKG

[worthy peak]

should be yeah

[worthy peak]

P1-4 and NKG are percents

yes

[worn hamlet]

one mask sob clutchhhhhh

[dry hamlet]

Ugh

[dry hamlet]

Tbh i hate nkg

Not because he’s hard

But because i have to watch his dumb intro

[worthy peak]

?

[dry hamlet]

Every single time

[fresh garnet]

which one apperas in p3 attuned or ascended

[dry hamlet]

i go to do his fight

It’s so annoying

[worthy peak]

ahh

[young canopy]

You can expel Grimm from the kingdom

[worn hamlet]

stares in pv and absrad

[worthy peak]

attuned

[worn hamlet]

oh and also gpz

[fresh garnet]

i get percent for banishing him, and in the pantheons?

[winter yacht]

So many NKG haters now lmao

[worthy peak]

P5 a mix appears

[subtle glacier]

get qol

[worn hamlet]

nkg's annoying intro aint anything special man ._.

[dry hamlet]

Yeah

[fresh garnet]

his intro is sick

[dry hamlet]

I do like it but it’s just

[worthy peak]

You get a percent all pantheons except 5 and you get a percent for defeat/banishing NKG

[dry hamlet]

A bit boring when ive seen it 8+ times

[worthy peak]

but you don't get the percent if you beat NKG in P5 or in the HoG

even if you did it first

[fresh garnet]

ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[dry hamlet]

And i have to watch it every time i go to fight him agaib

Like game please just skip the intro like you do for like

99% of the other bosses?

[winter yacht]

Get the QoL mod
It'll skip those

[dry hamlet]

Mods are not an option

I play on console.

[worn hamlet]

1 mask galien clutch for no reason

[winter yacht]

Well I guess you'll have to be a little bit patient

[dry hamlet]

But im debating saving NKG for my last percent

[fresh garnet]

IF I KILL THE TAMER WITH THE OTHER ONE DIE TOO?

[worthy peak]

:)

[dry hamlet]

No

[fresh garnet]

whoops capslock

[fresh garnet]

awwh

[dry hamlet]

You have to kill the beast first

[worthy peak]

no but the other way around it does work

[dry hamlet]

Killing the beast first ends the fight early

[dry hamlet]

The beast is easier to kill

It has less HP than the tamer

For record normally tamer has 600 HP, beast has only 450

[winter yacht]

Also it's less of a jumpy and annoying pissbaby

[worn hamlet]

oo for once I get good elder hu rng

[dry hamlet]

So the Tamer has the same hp

As the first phase of oro and mato

[dry bone]

he doesnt rly need rng

[dry hamlet]

Tbh my favorite bosses so far

[winter yacht]

Does if you don't have dash

[dry hamlet]

Are Oro and Mato, Normal Grimm, Hive Knight and White Defender

[dry bone]

why would you not have dash?

[dry hamlet]

Pantheon

[young canopy]

If i win against ascended I'll but him as a pfp For a whole day 💔

[dry hamlet]

Itemless stuff

[worn hamlet]

finishing him in a timely manner does

[winter yacht]

Randomizer
Itemless or whatever

[stone oak]

Is the hollow knight fight hard?

[dry bone]

no

hes not designed to be hard

[fresh garnet]

IT COUNTED TOWARDS MY JOURNAL

LETS GO

[worthy peak]

you could charge nail arts when he does long attack and get a dash slash of to speed it up

[worthy peak]

hmm i thought it didn't. Cool

:)

[dry bone]

anything not part of dlc does

like the completion

112

godhome

[young canopy]

Defeat absolute radiance

[fresh garnet]

whats the difference?

[young canopy]

It's the same but 10x harder

[fresh garnet]

oh

peak

[dry bone]

i mean

i wouldnt say 10x

[young canopy]

Go fight regular radiance, you will feel like he's moving in slow motion

[dry bone]

going back to him

i think hes more difficult, because Im not really good at slow attacks

[worthy peak]

i also wouldn't say 10x more like 6x

[dry bone]

but hes not that much harder imo

[quasi forge]

He 💔

[worn hamlet]

he 💀

[dry bone]

its not that big of a deal

[worn hamlet]

kinda funny tho

[wicked kiln]

Execute him

[worn hamlet]

misgendering a god XDD

[dry bone]

usually in things I never talk about women so the 's' is not natural for me

[young canopy]

Ok 6x harder as strawberry said

[worn hamlet]

's'?

[dry bone]

yea

in 'she'

[worn hamlet]

ah

[subtle glacier]

🦦

[quasi mist]

chat

do i go into deepnest

[wintry plinth]

No

Never

[quasi mist]

[worn hamlet]

🤔

[young canopy]

Enjoy

[jaunty dune]

Kinda got boring ngl

[worn swift]

lowkey i did NOT realize The Hollow Knight also turns into a shade when it teleports

[normal ether]

I died on the last fight with the kings molds because i wwswas playing on my brother's save to testtest his controls, and that screwed me up. Thats why i'm so hyped.

[young canopy]

After 112% ?

[jaunty dune]

Yes

[keen thorn]

🦦

[worn swift]

i knew Pure Vessel did but not Hollow

[jaunty dune]

I’ve done steel soul I’ve done p5

[young canopy]

Try mods

[jaunty dune]

There’s nothing left

[jaunty dune]

[modern lynx]

I will

[sick bison]

Radhog

[keen thorn]

Bindings

[subtle glacier]

[jaunty dune]

Done

[subtle glacier]

ramdo

[young canopy]

Randomizer , it's soo fun

[worn swift]

Boundless Infinity or randos seem fun

[jaunty dune]

Also mods are too complicated

[sick bison]

Time to buy elden ring

[subtle glacier]

the mods in this game are the literal easiest i’ve seen in like 10 years of gaming

[young canopy]

Nah just download lumflay

[subtle glacier]

?tag lumafly

barely even have to think

[misty umbra]

Lumafly my goat

I'm doing enemy rando collesium rn

[young canopy]

Yeah it's easier than MC mods

[subtle glacier]

i feel like one of those gym bros
i see people’s inner child dying after godhome and i say “cmon bro hop bingy, everything will be ok”

bingy will love you right

[jolly mural]

Is anyone here part of teamcherry?

[verbal summit]

DADDY!!

[young canopy]

There are some Australians but from Team cherry no

[subtle glacier]

[knotty ravine]

yo what do u need

[jolly mural]

I want ts in a game

[verbal summit]

uhh... nty radiance

[jolly mural]

Just cause

[knotty ravine]

YEAHH

[subtle glacier]

Mods dont want me to use my tuff image anymore 🥀

[proud haven]

hi Sigmas

[proud haven]

Idk the image but that's so sad fr

[subtle glacier]

omg zvy cute

hyd

[sick bison]

They jealous cs i found it before em

Wsp

[cinder jackal]

choom cuter

fairly good but got a 30:51 which stings a bit

hbu

[subtle glacier]

holy

[proud haven]

Based

[subtle glacier]

soon!

[cinder jackal]

surely

very consistent at ibaldur rn

[subtle glacier]

i’m good i’m sleepy but hoping to learn skong bingy a bit tonight

do you know taiga? blue’s mod?

[proud haven]

Zvy your whole game speedruns r so impressive fr very very cool to watch the one I did at least

[cinder jackal]

oh you have seen potential for bingy in hk9y right
i only saw it it yesterday

i only vaguely know taiga from like the tourney and stuff

[subtle glacier]

yes! alph4 is coordinating stuff i think im very excited

sounds like it’s happening

[cinder jackal]

already bingying huge

gl with it !

oh that's awesome

[subtle glacier]

taiga got sub hour today

it’s wild

bingy, not any% to clarify

[cinder jackal]

sickk

oh wow

are the goals like somewhat equivalent to hk

[subtle glacier]

lemme grab a board

[cinder jackal]

ty but i assume you watched my worst one i'm still proud of lol

[cinder jackal]

glumbs

[subtle glacier]

actually i prob shouldn’t send it here but ill dm

[cinder jackal]

fair

[pseudo bridge]

Yo chat Im new to hk and I am right before the hornet bossfight
I am feeling like the game is repetitive and just a walking simulator
Will it get better?

[cloud widget]

Yes imo absolutely

[cinder jackal]

roughly what i was expecting

[fallow grotto]

41

[cinder jackal]

really cool to see how fast that can be done

[fresh garnet]

I FILLED OUT THE JOURNAL

[subtle glacier]

yeah! i really like the early game past dash

[eternal nexus]

do you consider exploration repetitive?

[turbid idol]

Absolutely bro

[sick bison]

Tbh , in the first 2 hours i really though it wasnt my kind of game, but i forced myself and its jus peak

[sick bison]

Let me use my image😀

[cinder jackal]

kinda gets me excited to run it lol

[worn swift]

i lowkey feel like NKG’s theme should have had some progression where like once The Nightmare’s Heart lit up the drums or choir or something kicked in

[pseudo bridge]

I mean the map sometimes is so big that I just get lost
Also sometimes it just feels like I am walking around while not making progression trying to find a single needle in hay

[eternal nexus]

you were just using it in unrelated discussions
you're free to use it in context, but out of nowhere is basically just a shitpost

[subtle glacier]

optimal movement looks kind cancer but pogo dashing feels really good

[sick bison]

Ight bet bet

I dont see any context with this tho 🥀

[knotty ravine]

pogo dashing is so fucking cool

[subtle glacier]

bc you get to slow your downward momentum when you dash but it doesn’t all go away, it feels super bouncy compared to hk

it’s sick

[cloud widget]

Bro what's pogo dashing

[sick bison]

Dashmaster type of shit

[proud haven]

That's diabolical fr

[cinder jackal]

is pogo dashing not optimal...

[subtle glacier]

it is, but not in the way i mean

[cinder jackal]

oh like more general optimal movement?

[subtle glacier]

optimally you stick kinda close to the ground

[cinder jackal]

oh true

[median marten]

Guys

[eternal nexus]

I understand but it's part of the exploration, also you're gonna get better movement options

[median marten]

Im getting full 112 on my chromebook at school

Its so laggy

[subtle glacier]

i like using pogo dashing movement when falling, like through doorways and dodging platforms

[cinder jackal]

I do like that kinda stuff but it has to be actually interesting as well

[worn hamlet]

you insane human being

[proud haven]

W

[subtle glacier]

feels like trinomi drop a bit

[median marten]

Im playing a pirated version but dont worry i have the lisence

[median marten]

You play gd?

[worn hamlet]

meh, not so much anymore

but for a pretty long time ye

[cloud widget]

Any tips for watcher knights chat

[median marten]

Cool

[median marten]

Practice using debugmod savestates

[worn hamlet]

I had a major skill issue tho so the best I ever did was beat deadlocked with 2 coins

[misty umbra]

Descending dark.

[cinder jackal]

ic

[subtle glacier]

also the way that pogo cooldown differs makes pogo cancelling in combat optimal which is pretty cool

[worn hamlet]

or beat theory of everything 2 with 1 coin, depending on which you think is harder

[subtle glacier]

especially with 🐦‍⬛

[median marten]

Def deadlocked

[cloud widget]

Alr ill have to find that, I assume thats a charm

[misty umbra]

Nope that's a spell

[median marten]

Ive spent maybe 4 years on and off now

[misty umbra]

I mean like desolate dive is good too

[cinder jackal]

yea pogoing in general is really cool there

[worn hamlet]

fair, but for me personally theory of everything 2 was harder bc it took me a good while to get good at the ship sections

[median marten]

I can beat nine circles first try

[misty umbra]

When u are in a sticky situation it helps because it gives iframes

[worn hamlet]

wild

[cinder jackal]

although i don't like how finicky it can be while doing like certain sections

[subtle glacier]

for sure

[cinder jackal]

man it's hard to talk about without saying it

[subtle glacier]

🔴?

[cinder jackal]

question mark

it's like late in any%

[subtle glacier]

ohhhh true ⚙️

[cinder jackal]

yea i saw nebula get like crazy scammed by a pogo at some point

[subtle glacier]

saw it happen to bluetoo

[cinder jackal]

checks out

[subtle glacier]

it’s bc the nail hitbox on pogos doesn’t extend beyond the player hurtbox sideways as much as it does with tk

[cinder jackal]

ah

that's really unfortunate for this pogo lol

[subtle glacier]

especially since you’re pogoing round things it’s weird

[foggy meadow]

I have yet again beat steel soul, this time on PC

still got work to do

[cinder jackal]

yeah that's rough but makes sense for it to not be that horizontal

would be extremely nice though

i gotta take a break from hk eventually for this game

[turbid idol]

lol I remember I said the same thing I was pretty bad when I first started that I got stuck on the second hornet fight lol

[foggy meadow]

I find it so funny it feels normal to me to beat HK without Double Jump

if I was good enough to do acid skip in crossroads I'd do it without Isma's tear as well

getting tear really isn't that lengthy of a process tho for me

[cinder jackal]

mildly different situation unfortunately

[forest garden]

Is hollow night and slik song the same thing?

[cinder jackal]

are you aware that you just have to hold left into the wall to get into the right position

Crystal Peaks helps so much with upgrades, I come out of there with a Pale Ore, Descending Dark, Shopkeeper's Key which leads to Shade Soul, and of course Crystal Heart

and when I leave, I get Dream Nail

then grab Shade Soul, Nail Upgrade, head to Watcher Knights

after Watcher Knights I quickly grab Isma's tear, then go to archives, destroy Uumuu, and then from Queen's Station I can head to Beast's Den relatively quickly since I know my way through Deepnest now

[robust terrace]

Short answer, no. Long answer, SHAW NO

[fresh garnet]

what do i do now?

[turbid idol]

[proud haven]

Magic spells

[fresh garnet]

[proud haven]

Also what's 158 out of 158mean

[fresh garnet]

journal

[proud haven]

There r more

[fresh garnet]

ik

[proud haven]

W luffy pfp

[fresh garnet]

thats just what my journal says

[fresh garnet]

thanks

[turbid idol]

Fr it’s fire 🔥

[fresh garnet]

i am old, i am cold, i am gold, i am bold i forgot the rest

[proud haven]

W

[vocal bay]

[fresh garnet]

[fresh garnet]

yo what?

[turbid idol]

We love a garrison

[fresh garnet]

yes

[foggy meadow]

Man

Maybe I'll try go as fast as I can on another run

[fresh garnet]

what now tho?

like

[foggy meadow]

But I've got to 100% steel soul now

[fresh garnet]

ooh

nice

[foggy meadow]

I'll try do it in under 20 hours

[fresh garnet]

oooh

[foggy meadow]

So I get the other achievement

[fresh garnet]

for the speedrun

yeah

[foggy meadow]

My Steel Soul save is at 3 hours and 48%

[fresh garnet]

bice

[turbid idol]

I could never play that mode I ain’t good enough lol

[fresh garnet]

i die to the raabaa guys

[foggy meadow]

Steel Soul isn't that bad but I'm probably just overconfident

[light gale]

What does lighting the second lantern in white palace do cuz it didn't open the door I thought it would

[foggy meadow]

The only time I nearly died was Beast Den because I was being dumb, and Crystallized Mound because they have a room with 2 crystal flies and spike platforms

[foggy meadow]

If you practice specific parts of the game then there isn't really many places you'd be at risk of dying

I do stupid stuff like fighting brooding mawlek as my first boss

[turbid idol]

Guess that’s true if you just practice before going in then

[foggy meadow]

Well I didn't necessarily practice but I have beat P5

And I've beat the game several times

I also remember the map, I don't even have the map bought on my steel soul save

I do have compass so I was able to buy a charm notch early on but compass does nothing if you don't own a map

[young canopy]

Death in steel soul is especially disturbing when you die in such a stupid way.

[turbid idol]

Still I don’t care nearly enough to practice lol I’ve already beat the game done all the bosses and done mostly all the quests

[foggy meadow]

I almost died in Beast Den just because I tried to dream nail a double damage enemy

[foggy meadow]

For me I think doing P5 was enough practice

I'm very confident with my movement and spells

Shaman Stone and the upgraded spells are super strong

[turbid idol]

I love shaman stone never take it off

[foggy meadow]

I mean I don't use it until I have 4 notches because I use gathering swarm for the early game

Once I have 5 notches I take off Gathering Swarm for Spell Twister

[turbid idol]

Yah I mostly use a pure nail build so

[young canopy]

Yeah P5 is the hardest challenge in the game, anything else is easier

[turbid idol]

But I slot that in for extra damage

[foggy meadow]

I didn't use Fragile Strength this run

I would've but I forgot to get enough geo for it

So I just skipped it

[solar willow]

Would the pale king shop at home depot or lowes?

[foggy meadow]

Shaman Stone is really good anyway

Knowing how to do skips helps

You can get Crystal Peak Pale Ore and also Watcher Knights without Monarch Wings

I do this because I like to go fast

[turbid idol]

Seems like a Home Depot kinda guy

[foggy meadow]

And the Pale Ore is a huge help

[verbal summit]

so uhh im never unequipping quick slash or unbreakable strength just to keep voidheart in middle

[foggy meadow]

Since it's one of the earliest pale ores you can get

[young canopy]

Of course especially in early game

I mean the shaman stone

[foggy meadow]

As soon as you load a save iirc it moves voidheart to the left

[turbid idol]

Well good thing there some of the best charms so you won’t have to

[young canopy]

Until you upgrade your nail

[verbal summit]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-gif-20581738

[solar willow]

Which store has the bigger collection of shawblades?

[verbal summit]

white palace

[foggy meadow]

Shaman Stone I actually really like for the increased vengeful spirit size, the extra damage is obviously the best part

[verbal summit]

unless u use charm

[foggy meadow]

But vengeful spirit feels quite small

The size buff is nice

[solar willow]

home depot or lowes

[turbid idol]

Fr I forget to use them because of how situational they are

[young canopy]

They're Good for some bosses

[verbal summit]

ahh thats what you mean

[foggy meadow]

Anyway I recommend to any somewhat experienced player to do brooding mawlek as their first boss on a new playthrough

It feels good to fight him with 0 upgrades

Just nail

[verbal summit]

wood carving factory or smth

u can buy from there

so store

[worn hamlet]

that's spell-less 0 upgrades not pure 0 upgrades

[solar willow]

white lumbermill palace

[foggy meadow]

?

[worn hamlet]

just nail would be itemless

[young canopy]

He's fucking annoying without dash

[foggy meadow]

I fight him as the first boss in a playthrough

[foggy meadow]

I find him easy

[hidden onyx]

did i beat the watcher knights too early if I just got the shade cloak?

[verbal summit]

chat i fully completed hollow knight totally 100%...

[hidden onyx]

two bosses in one day

[worn hamlet]

that'd be itemless

[foggy meadow]

Yes

[solar willow]

1 2

[worn hamlet]

0 upgrades is a whole other thing we use for doing bosses in hog with white spells and old nail

with all movement options available

[foggy meadow]

Idk what you're talking about

[turbid idol]

Honestly really easy to do just takes time

[foggy meadow]

I'm just talking about fighting him as my first boss

Don't confuse me with this crap

[worn hamlet]

don't mind me im just godhome brainrotted XD

[worn hamlet]

fire frieren mention

[verbal summit]

we dont talk abt 12 here

[worn hamlet]

the frick happened to the number 12

[young canopy]

Nah , you still need another 9%

[worn hamlet]

what have we done this time

[light gale]

I'm on one heart in the middle of a saw blade section what do I do

[young canopy]

Ddark

[glacial tundra]

why do they call them the hollow knight if they are neither hollow nor knight? Checkmate Marxists

[light gale]

I don't have the soul also how does that help

[turbid idol]

[young canopy]

Government misinformation from the pale king

[young canopy]

Get you to the bench faster

[glacial tundra]

Or Hive collectivist disinformation

[foggy meadow]

It feels so funny that you can beat HK without Monarch Wings

[young canopy]

Maybe

[glacial tundra]

I blame the hive.

It's always them bees.

[young canopy]

Even silk song

[foggy meadow]

Yeah but that game is way more linear imo

[turbid idol]

Hive looks so cool but is always so annoying

[glacial tundra]

Has the hive ever done anything well for the kingdom? NO.

[foggy meadow]

I have a soft spot for Brooding Mawlek I think he's a really cool boss NGL

[glacial tundra]

I say, automatize the hive. Turn it into a second crystal peak.

[foggy meadow]

Like he's simple but I appreciate you can beat him without even dash or vengeful spirit or anything

Feels good to dodge the projectiles and swings

[glacial tundra]

true but he is just too little too late mostly

[turbid idol]

It’s a boring fight in my opinion

[glacial tundra]

also kinda true

[young canopy]

I agree with you

[glacial tundra]

How do we fix brooding mawlek?

I think, its in the name

every hit, make it spawn a mini brooding mawlek

[turbid idol]

Yah honestly the better version is the flying one that I’m forgetting the name sure the hitbox on that is annoying but it’s a more fun fight

[glacial tundra]

nosk?

[turbid idol]

Yah

I mean I think winged is most fun but pretty annoying

[glacial tundra]

vengefly king ripoff

[young canopy]

The worst idea on November 28, 2025

[turbid idol]

I guess so but better than brooding mawlek

[glacial tundra]

someone turn it into mod pls and while at it, give mawlek a business tie

[young canopy]

Flying brooding mawlek ??

[glacial tundra]

they meant to say nosk

[young canopy]

Oh

[glacial tundra]

or maybe it's tiso's body flying off

[turbid idol]

That’s essentially what it is lol but it’s more fun in my opinion

[glacial tundra]

oh wait he gets crushed nvm

[young canopy]

Both nosk's versions are shit

[turbid idol]

Fair enough but compared to how boring mawlek is it’s alr

[glacial tundra]

hey, he is inspired by us the player so I mean that's accurate

[young canopy]

Yeah

[turbid idol]

lol

[narrow galleon]

Flying Nosk is basically Vengefly 2.0

[glacial tundra]

why not replace vengefly with flying nosk

[turbid idol]

True yet harder

[young canopy]

With 2 more moves only

[narrow galleon]

Nah he's easier LOL

[turbid idol]

No

[glacial tundra]

How is vengefly king harder

[turbid idol]

Yah exactly how

[narrow galleon]

"You can copy my homework just don't make it obvious"

• Adds acid attacks

[young canopy]

Acid ?

It's radiance water

I mean infection

[narrow galleon]

Considering how it's directly from his stomach it's very much infection acid I suppose

[narrow galleon]

How so?

If you treak Flying Nosk as Vengefly King v2 the battle is literally amost the same it's funny

[glacial tundra]

How do we fix Flying Nosk?

I say, give it Hornet's needle.

Let it shaw at you but in a wrong voice.

Imagine it charges but mid charge it throws the rip off needle towards you.

You could make the needle be a claw formed by Winged Nosk.

[fringe coral]

trying to learn dung/white defender cutscene skip how precise is this

[willow flame]

wheres the 2nd mr shroom location

[hollow kite]

Did lil sis hitless lmao (sorry the footage got cut off but trust me bro)

[young canopy]

I trust you

[runic shuttle]

have i ever seen someone so hyped from getting kingsoul?

[runic shuttle]

now do abrsad hitless

[verbal summit]

It's to get void heart immediately after

[runic shuttle]

bro normal radiance feels like its in slomo after doing absrad

[fringe coral]

2 more bindings left until full lifeblood upgrade

[median saffron]

guys.,.,./,/., apparently mark of pride and longnail makes path of pain hader...

[runic shuttle]

nice

[runic shuttle]

in the tighter areas yeah probably

but it gives you more space

[young canopy]

Some parts harder , and some parts easier

[hollow kite]

If only i could beat sly in pantheon 3 AFTER I BEAT HIM IN HOG (rider)

[runic shuttle]

dying to sly

[median marten]

in the last room yes but its generally helpful for me

[runic shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-meme-trying-not-to-laugh-laugh-homeless-gif-9458928528704746136

[median marten]

I js use mop

[earnest widget]

why does abyss shriek sometimes not hit all 4 times?

[glacial tundra]

use sharp shadow, be a sigma

[median marten]

It knocks back thr target

[earnest widget]

i hit radiance with it, seemingly within its range, with her having no plans to teleport, still 3 hits

[hollow kite]

Please sly i need thisss
Im kinda outofageo
I live on the dirtmouth bench

[runic shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-patamas-geo-hollow-knight-wallet-wallet-no-geo-gif-6271344000045246630

[young canopy]

Use it in the second part of the second room

[quasi forge]

if u spam it then one hits 3 times, and also certain fps's make it have a higher chance to hit three times

[glacial tundra]

in my first playthrough i completely missed abyss shriek

[earnest widget]

"certain fpss"?

[hollow kite]

[glacial tundra]

i thought my 1% deviation was cause of PoH

[median saffron]

please radiance i need this
my knight isnt hollow
i live with the white lady i wanna help him out

[quasi forge]

yeah if ur fps ends with a 4 or a 9 it makes it more consistent

for whatever reason

[earnest widget]

what does that even mean? how can the fps for your spells vary?

[hollow kite]

I got you main

[cloud mango]

Chat what these acrid eggs for

[quasi forge]

no idea why it works that way

[cloud mango]

I got like 8 of them

[earnest widget]

ohhhh, for the game itself

[quasi forge]

yeah

[hollow kite]

RENID

[cloud mango]

Eh

[glacial tundra]

first playthrough i presume?

[cloud mango]

Yep

[median saffron]

eat them if you want diahhrea ig

[glacial tundra]

keep em but I believe they're doo doo if my feeling serves me right

[hollow kite]

If you got a simple key go to the far right of dirtmouth and open it, if you die you can spend the eggs to get your shade back

[glacial tundra]

i dont remember ever using them lmao

[cloud mango]

Tried to

[median saffron]

what

[cloud mango]

OHHHHHHHHHH

[ionic basalt]

Yea I have like 15 in my inv lol

[glacial tundra]

SS mode not included

[ionic basalt]

Js never used

[cloud mango]

DAMN I WISH I KNEW THAT BEFORE I LOST MY 1500

[median saffron]

if you use a simple key on the far right of dirtmouth it opens a door and if you give jiji an egg she gives you your shade

[glacial tundra]

in SS they're peak eggs

[glacial tundra]

lame

no offense but lame, that machine is much better in SS

[hollow kite]

You can go to city of tears and grind on the big red gaurds or go to colo of fools

[glacial tundra]

at least it pays

[cloud mango]

How tf do you even get to colo

I’m at the kings edged

Where do I go

[glacial tundra]

continue exploring it

[hollow kite]

Go to upper king edge

[cloud mango]

Exploring it lead me to the void

[glacial tundra]

are we sure this isnt spoiling too much or?

[worn hamlet]

kings edged 💀

[glacial tundra]

good, youll need that too if you're not a masochist

for the colo

[cloud mango]

Hated that place

Hornet was more spammy

[glacial tundra]

oh youll love silksong bro trust

[hollow kite]

OH go to the big elevator in city of tears and climb with mantis claw and then you will see a big opening in the wall on the right go in it keep going right and your there

[glacial tundra]

wait isnt it hidden and only able to be opened through the KE part?

[empty gulch]

How many save files would i need to get all the achievements?

[glacial tundra]

3 if you're not a looney

2 if you are

1 for normal 112%

[empty gulch]

Yikes

[glacial tundra]

1 for steel 112%

and 1 for speedrun

[cloud mango]

Wrong ss

[glacial tundra]

ALSO ALSO

[cloud mango]

You talking about that room

[glacial tundra]

ZOTE

[rain gulch]

I finally beat radiance for the first time if anyone cares :b

Literally one hit

[glacial tundra]

you have to kill zote in one of those plathroughs

[hollow kite]

YEAH. Go right and your there (you need like 500 geo to enter the first colo)

[hollow kite]

Kewl!

[glacial tundra]

is there not a wall preventing you to enter colo from there? I always entered through KE

[hollow kite]

[rain gulch]

What does this mean

[hollow kite]

Kewl is said like cool

[glacial tundra]

It's like a cool but spelt like its said

[hollow kite]

[hot delta]

Ok

[glacial tundra]

[rain gulch]

Pogo on everything

Literally

Whenever he gets close double jump and pogo

[cloud mango]

[glacial tundra]

NOTE: ONLY USEFUL IN HK, DO NOT TRY IN SKONG

You'll see smth like a crane

[hot delta]

[hot delta]

And im only at 223 essence

[glacial tundra]

and I cant pogo for long

even when I do

[jovial ledge]

Ooh for bosses

[glacial tundra]

it's more like a dodge than a pogo

[cloud mango]

Pogo?

Like hitting from top?

[jovial ledge]

Yeah it's not for bosses, but it's good to do the occasional pogo

[glacial tundra]

and bouncing back and forght from the same enemy's top

[hearty agate]

Hello

[hollow kite]

Pogoing is easy dude

[cloud mango]

[glacial tundra]

just keep yourself areal

[hollow kite]

[rain gulch]

[jovial ledge]

He was mentioning silksong

[rain gulch]

Ahhhh

[rain gulch]

And no

He is still stuck in normal hollow knight

[peak hound]

[glacial tundra]

ehh they can counter it tho

team cherry thought of it

there's many enemies who can just punish reckless pogo

[hot delta]

How’s silksong

[rain gulch]

Guys how much time does it usually take to finish the path of pain

[hot delta]

I haven’t gotten it yet im getting it in like 5 months

Let’s say my sweatiest friend who got to the hollowknight in an hour played the path of pain for 30 hrs and he still didn’t beat it

[rain gulch]

Ik i can do it but like whats the average

Not speedrun

[hot delta]

Idk

[rain gulch]

Getting to the hollow knight isnt hard at all

[hot delta]

[hearty agate]

Memeuahh-

[glacial tundra]

Say NO to Grub violence

[empty gulch]

Did you practice any bosses beforehand or did you do it blindly

[glacial tundra]

You think Im smart enough to practice anything beside absrad?

[hearty agate]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-grub-gif-18708300

[glacial tundra]

absrad is a must

i'd also use strength charm

unbreakable ofc

[kindred temple]

I’ve been practicing vengefly for 29 hours it ends my run every time vengefly king summons one

[glacial tundra]

wahat

[glacial tundra]

alternatively, practice also PV, NKG, Markoth Ascended, Zote tbh

Zote is a fucking little bitch

[jovial ledge]

Zote is the mightiest bug in all the lands

[glacial tundra]

no joke he is a bitch

wdym it's all RNG

FUCK YOU

radiant asshole

[kindred temple]

Absrad prequel

[glacial tundra]

ragebaits me still after 6 years

MFer

[kindred temple]

So the sun clearly shines there?

[glacial tundra]
