[shrewd nymph]

no old jokes today dw

[shrewd meadow]

Osmanthus Bald

[quartz cave]

hii lune hyd

[vivid creek]

It's weird
Wonder why they made an exception for just flukemarm & not collector as well

[quartz cave]

Throw of Out the 73rd

[shrewd nymph]

doing great today, lowk snacking on a peak jam donut rn

[neon apex]

Shrogo?

[shrewd nymph]

hru

[shrewd meadow]

shrogo

[neon apex]

Ik what is shade skip but what is Shrogo?

[limber arch]

what is flukemarm ascended?

[lament maple]

because team cherry specifically hates low%ge runners

[limber arch]

what changes inmean

[shrewd nymph]

shriek pogo

[neon apex]

Ascended Difficulty Flukearm in Hall of Gods

[neon apex]

Ah

[vivid creek]

The first 6 fluke spawns have buffed hp
35 each iirc

[limber arch]

yeah ik i mean what changes

[lament smelt]

how early are you meant to go into queens garden i only went in after killing most of the dream bosses

[limber arch]

so just buffed flukes

[lament smelt]

got howling wraths

[limber arch]

have you beat the game yet

[waxen helm]

What’s that one boss that looks like a tear drop on 3rd pantheon door

[lament maple]

theres not really an intended amount of equipment for any area of the game outside of like the first three

[neon apex]

Double dmg, tankier spawns, I think the Acid disappears from the bottom getting replaced with void, more hp on boss, faster fluke spawn

[shrewd nymph]

collector

[limber arch]

show

[waxen helm]

Where are they

[limber arch]

that sucks

[shrewd nymph]

kingdoms edge

[lament smelt]

not the true ending beat the hollowknight without void heart the first time yesterday

[neon apex]

Isn't thats just Collector?

[vivid creek]

yea
Makes HoG flukemarm pretty difficult in some of the harder challenges

[limber arch]

no

isnt it city of tears

[waxen helm]

[neon apex]

6-8 Abyss Shrieks and there you go

[shrewd nymph]

its inbetween the two

[neon apex]

Flukearm is the easiest boss to beat on Radiant

[shrewd nymph]

the entrance is kedge

[lament maple]

you need to enter love tower through kedge

[limber arch]

Why not 6-7

[keen thorn]

Well

[limber arch]

😂😂😂😂😂

[neon apex]

Yk why

[keen thorn]

AB is kinda mesn

But shriek op

04 is just the most RNG bs thing ever

[waxen helm]

Ok so all I have to do is slime out collector and I will have 3 doors open

[limber arch]

yeah

[keen thorn]

Well regular 04 is fine you can just tank

[vivid creek]

I heard about it from Chomp
Sounds like a great time

[keen thorn]

R04 is the most RNG bs thing ever

[neon apex]

I'm sad that I can't download mods on console 😕

[limber arch]

What console

Homebrew it

Linux

Everything is possible

[neon apex]

Xbox Series S not connected to PC

[keen thorn]

Idk what chomp did
But Quantum, Justing and me did completely different strats and the 3 of us took hours and never got consistent at all

It was just a pray the flukes don't RNG bs out

[limber arch]

ohh nice console

[keen thorn]

Genuine dogshit fight

[vivid creek]

Chomp mostly mentioned the rng on wraiths was bs

[keen thorn]

That's one of many things

[neon apex]

My dad said he wants to buy a Series X too, that would be nice so I can get the Series S in my room :D

[keen thorn]

Flukes as a whole are just the most RNG heavy enemy of all time

[vivid creek]

In which regard?
Just the spawn points?

[limber arch]

nice

[lament maple]

i know someone who was attempting dreamshield-only ascended flukemarm and ocassionally the flukes would go sideways and just fuck you over

[waxen helm]

Do i need a certain key to find the collecter

[shrewd nymph]

love key

[carmine lava]

i took less than an hour lol

[lament maple]

he got attuned but idk if he ever got ascended

[neon apex]

Wow Howling Wraiths is smaller without Shaman Stone than what I remembered wtf

[waxen helm]

And where is the key of love?

[carmine lava]

i took like 50 minutes

also who’s justing

[keen thorn]

Close

[vivid creek]

I mean
AB is hard but definitely not what I'd call "harder"

It's like the lowest hanging fruit of the masochism tree

*besides reg p5 & radhog ig

[lament maple]

yeah the spells are tiny without shamans

[keen thorn]

Still it was just rng

[shrewd nymph]

queens garden

[neon apex]

Queen's Garden

[limber arch]

no

[waxen helm]

[limber arch]

yeah

queens garden

[waxen helm]

Where in queens garden

[neon apex]

I love Queen's Garden design but I hate how it's built

[keen thorn]

You can abuse shriek so much to kill each wave as it spawns

[limber arch]

bottom left

[waxen helm]

Near the bench?

[neon apex]

Bottom left of Green Path

[limber arch]

above it

[waxen helm]

Above the bottom left bench?

[limber arch]

in the dead end

yes

[neon apex]

Queen Garden is an area ion rly like to be in

[lament maple]

there are three benches in qg

[waxen helm]

Yeah my bad

[limber arch]

wsit no

no bench

[median saffron]

me when im in a shit hitbox competition but my opponent is pure vessel

[limber arch]

just bottom bottom left

[waxen helm]

[neon apex]

Also why Traitor Lord got such a cool scream sfx

[limber arch]

into the dead end

[vivid creek]

Yeah
Was just pointing out I wasn't really thinking of ab in my earlier message
reg ab flukemarm isn't bad

[waxen helm]

Like right before deepest?

[limber arch]

above

where theres a dead end

[waxen helm]

The bench?

[neon apex]

Count with 4 Mantis Traitors there, I think there was 4 but correct me if I'm wrong

[waxen helm]

That’s bottom right

Giving me false information

[limber arch]

Shit

Lmao

[neon apex]

It's harder to explain in words than to show it on image

:P

[waxen helm]

They said the wrong corner

[limber arch]

mb

[waxen helm]

I would have used my 200iq to find the dead end easily

[neon apex]

CL might be the most useful boss in the game

[subtle glacier]

what are you looking for

[neon apex]

Due to it gives CL map

[neon apex]

Key of Love but we already figured it out

I already have it

And beaten up Collector on first try

[subtle glacier]

huge

[lament maple]

omg a choom

[vivid creek]

Wild choom spotted

[neon apex]

Ngl, Radiance is fun

[waxen helm]

Radiance is cooking me

[neon apex]

Not as fun as GPZ but ye she is fun

[limber arch]

Most enjoyable boss after getting good is NKG

[neon apex]

NKG is just a faster Grimm with modified attacks

It's not that hard

[limber arch]

thats what makes it fun

hardet

harder

[lament maple]

hornet 2 is my favourite boss fight personally

[subtle glacier]

guh

[neon apex]

It's a very rhythmical boss tbh

[limber arch]

or probably sisters of battle

thats rythm

rhythm

[vivid creek]

SoB is great
The telefrag makes me cry in r5 tho

[foggy sable]

yep

[lament maple]

if i spent more time in godhome sisters of battle would be my favourite

but i just dont fight them often enough

[foggy sable]

well yep on the telefrag

[lament smelt]

whats the bet i beat matis lords first try?

[limber arch]

telefrag is the bosses teleporting to you and getting contact damage right?

[median saffron]

okay so this bitchass pure vessel parries me right

[vivid creek]

yeah

[median saffron]

so i dash through him

and

[neon apex]

Mantis Lords got a rly annoying run back so do it first try

[dense fjord]

I died to gpz

[median saffron]

i walk fowards towards him

[dense fjord]

☹️☹️

[lament smelt]

ok

[limber arch]

contact damsge 😂😂😂

[median saffron]

because he goes fowards when he parries

right

[vivid creek]

not a fan of SoB?

[foggy sable]

nope

[median saffron]

but

he didnt fucking move

[dense fjord]

Well p5 attempt 6 time

[neon apex]

God Home or Dirtmouth?

[limber arch]

didnt hit the parry?

[neon apex]

Damn

[dense fjord]

P5

[neon apex]

That sucks tbh

[vivid creek]

Perchance may I inquire why?
Just curious

[median saffron]

no i did

[foggy sable]

a billion hp and a telefrag sort of doesn't make me enjoy them

[dense fjord]

Yeah but its okay

[neon apex]

Good luck on Markoth, PV and Abs Rad

[foggy sable]

they should have much less hp and a shared hp pool

[lament maple]

that is fair

[limber arch]

very fire

[vivid creek]

Ah, fair enough

[neon apex]

Huh

[dense fjord]

Tysm, i just wanna get to absrad tbh cuz i need to unlock her

[limber arch]

mod

in progress

[limber arch]

Yeah once you get it practice the hell out of it

Thankfully i only got to absrad twice

Once absolutely fucking destroyed

[neon apex]

I need Winged Nosk and Radiance in my HoG

[limber arch]

And twice got the pantheon

[vivid creek]

As in like no matter which ones you hit, one will die every 33.33% of the pooled hp?

[lament smelt]

i died

[neon apex]

The run back is annoying for MLs

[limber arch]

shared hp pool is too op

[waxen helm]

Ez collector first try

[foggy sable]

more as in once the hp pool is depleted they all stop

[lament smelt]

it doesnt seem to bad

[neon apex]

Collector feels like a fodder boss

[waxen helm]

Fr

[median saffron]

I BEAT PV

FUCK YOU

FUXK YOu

[foggy sable]

because otherwise half the fight is spent in the bad part of it where there are just 2 and it takes ages

[median saffron]

FUCK YOU

[marble silo]

collectors difficulty entirely depends on the level your nail is and if it can one shot the adds

[neon apex]

It's the most annoying and longest run back

[limber arch]

pantheon? lmao

[neon apex]

GG, now do Radiant PV

[waxen helm]

A map of grubs

Is this a blessing

[median saffron]

NO I WAS JUST PRACTICING

[keen thorn]

No this would suck so much

[lament smelt]

I came from silksong so ...

[neon apex]

Yes

[vivid creek]

Ah
That'd make sense I suppose
Ngl oro & mato should have a similar if not the same mechanic

[foggy sable]

yes

[neon apex]

Blud played SK before HK 😭

[keen thorn]

Yes

[rancid zenith]

I hate my nose, eyes and my mouth

[limber arch]

So like god tamer?

[waxen helm]

I’m only missing like 8

[median saffron]

also in the pale court mod the charm that turns ur spells into pv attacks vengeful spirit should just be the void tendrils

[lament smelt]

yea i heard the hype was bored one night so i just installled i did try playing hollow knight first but it just didnt click

[keen thorn]

No it's not shared hp

[vivid creek]

Nah
God tamer is just kill 1/2 the boss and the fight ends

[waxen helm]

3 grubs in one room

That’s mad suspicious

[rancid zenith]

Fuckass runback bro

[vernal knot]

Virgin False Knight vs Virgin Failed Champion

[neon apex]

Ikr

[vernal knot]

Who's ML

[limber arch]

Not shared hp pool but after you best one it just stops

[vernal knot]

Mantis Lords?

[rancid zenith]

Mantis lords

[waxen helm]

Guys

[limber arch]

Or idk

[waxen helm]

Grub 1,2 or 3

[vernal knot]

Mantis Lords? Dawg the Runback is 50 seconds top

[median saffron]

all

[rancid zenith]

I died more to the runback then the boss itself

[limber arch]

all of thek

[vernal knot]

Did yall go around Fungal Wastes or something

[waxen helm]

There’s definitely an imposter

This is too good to be true

[lament smelt]

I hope its still a vergin

[limber arch]

nah

[waxen helm]

On all the bugs in hollow knight

[vernal knot]

Nothing compared to the chad OG owner of the Armor

True

[vivid creek]

Think Grey's idea was more the hp of tamer & beast are added together and both keep fightning until the hp goes to 0

[neon apex]

Vergil?

[waxen helm]

There’s not an imposter?

[vernal knot]

The first 3 Are fake

[rancid zenith]

Also I hope I can buy silksong soon

[limber arch]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-grub-sad-gif-26563673

[lament smelt]

what?

[vivid creek]

But for SoB, not tamer

[neon apex]

Hegglemon or how was he called

[vernal knot]

Hegemol

[vivid creek]

fk tamer that fight is long enough as it is

[vernal knot]

It's Hegemol

[waxen helm]

I have 3 bugs

[vernal knot]

Mighty Hegemol

Have it right

[waxen helm]

One has to be real

[vernal knot]

[neon apex]

It's a character from Devil May Cry

[vernal knot]

[rancid zenith]

What could skurry possibly done to something like this happen

[foggy sable]

so instead of having 3 hp pools they have 1 shared hp pool and once it is depleted they stop

[limber arch]

Open them all

[neon apex]

Ye that, he is cool

[limber arch]

Hunters journal

[waxen helm]

Oh wow

You were right

None of them were evil

[lament smelt]

beat ml second try

[rancid zenith]

Mane who tf is hegglemon😭

[neon apex]

Void Tendrils, and the Muncher things in FC and Deepnest

[limber arch]

isnt void tendrils the pv attack

[subtle glacier]

the digimon of bargaining

[marble silo]

there is a void tendrils journal entry

[dense fjord]

I staggered dung defender just as he went back underground and he glitched underneath the floor LMAO

[limber arch]

how

[neon apex]

Hegemol but I didn't remembered his name properly

[subtle glacier]

void tendrils like the hazard in abyss

[limber arch]

how do you kill the tendrils

[lament smelt]

how do i get the mask shard after beating ml

[marble silo]

it's in the same place where you get the shade dash

[limber arch]

spell?

[subtle glacier]

it’s on an interactable wall

[marble silo]

there is a fake ceiling

[lament smelt]

nvm

[subtle glacier]

kinda like a lore tablet

[neon apex]

A special room in the Abyss

[neon apex]

Yuh

[limber arch]

This game just never ends

[lament smelt]

wait no i still need help

[marble silo]

hk is just goated like that

[shrewd nymph]

@foggy sable

[foggy sable]

hmm

[shrewd nymph]

how do you hit him on dive when he spawns not directly above you

it seesms like half the time i just have to dodge

[foggy sable]

in phase 1?

[neon apex]

It can show you new stuff by every playthrough

[shrewd nymph]

yeah

[foggy sable]

in phase 1 just dash to the side and turnaround get a nail hit

[shrewd nymph]

phase 2 is just me being stupid if i get him

hit

oh you dash then hit

lemme try thbat

[lament smelt]

how

[foggy sable]

if he does the fake out you can use wings and get a second hit

[neon apex]

Fungal Core

[shrewd nymph]

and for some reason im getting hit from right > left spiral rn

idk why

i think im deoing smt stupid

[foggy sable]

there is a reason I don't punish left to right aside from a nail hit and double hit fireball

[shrewd nymph]

no left to right is fine

right to left is normally easier but rn im getting hit

wait jump then dash

or dash then jump

[waxen helm]

Do u have to do bindings for pantheon doors

[foggy sable]

jump then dash

then turnaround nail hit

[marble silo]

not if you don't wanna

[waxen helm]

Do I get anything special if I do?

[marble silo]

just lifeblood hearts

[shrewd nymph]

ok right to left is just me being dumb

[carmine lava]

what boss are you playing

[waxen helm]

[shrewd nymph]

tyrant

[lament smelt]

any more hard bosses

[median saffron]

i hope no eyes and all her dumb dead kids go to hell

[shrewd nymph]

i feel like dash would take me so far away

since djump is enough

[subtle glacier]

tyrant phase 2 is the most rapid shift from peak to unpeak in the game i think

[vernal knot]

Have you done the Pantheon's ones

[subtle glacier]

dive punishes are so good
the punishes after the dives are so dogshit

[foggy sable]

When I get to tyrant I'll check

[shrewd nymph]

ok i love tyrant phase 2

[lament smelt]

ive done panthon 1

[shrewd nymph]

why tf am i getting hit during it

what am i doing

[foggy sable]

but I'm busy losing runs to mossy atm

[shrewd nymph]

LMAO

right to left is getting me rn

[median saffron]

white defender pisses me off

[foggy sable]

I don't think phase 2 doubles are worth

[shrewd nymph]

im consistent with them

that sounds like a lie

[foggy sable]

I watched you get hit to one

[shrewd nymph]

becasue i just died twice but i swear

its jsut the phase 1 dive thats confusingm e

and master phase 2

[subtle glacier]

no genuinely they’re so consistent

[shrewd nymph]

choom do yk how to get 3 hits on phase 2 soul master

[subtle glacier]

no clue

ddarking it?

[shrewd nymph]

nah you can jump hit djump hit dash hit

but i can never land the dash one

[subtle glacier]

seems scary

qs only surely

[zealous skiff]

you can probably get hit hit sshadow dash hit

[shrewd nymph]

faopjaseiokfdfasdf

[foggy sable]

truee

[shrewd nymph]

apofjsiodpkfasdfd

[foggy sable]

I'll lab it

[shrewd nymph]

looks cool though

[zealous skiff]

wait soiul tyrant and tyrant phase 2 have seperate hp pools

[shrewd nymph]

he has 3 hps

is it normal that in 2nd phase tyrant he sometimes just doesnt spawm above me

so i miss

why does that happen

[dense fjord]

Sheo has been defeated

[median saffron]

white defender is the most overrated boss of all time

[subtle glacier]

feeling extra sideways

[shrewd nymph]

[subtle glacier]

maybe he’s drunk

[median saffron]

attack that has no indicator that hits you instantly

[subtle glacier]

it has an indicator

[median saffron]

barely

[subtle glacier]

it’s just fast and assumes good positioning

[mint vector]

Hi

[median saffron]

"good positioning" just means be lucky enough to be far away

[subtle glacier]

but wd basically forces you to the right range anyways

[shrewd nymph]

i cant do 3 hit its so weird

the seocnd hit has so much kb

[subtle glacier]

lucky is crazy
if you do the things that don’t get you hit at other times, the spikes will be reactable

[ashen ginkgo]

choombert omg

[lament smelt]

umm

[ashen ginkgo]

hi cool otter person you’re cool and an otter

[subtle glacier]

woah

[ashen ginkgo]

[median saffron]

also dont try to juggle white defender

its just a party trick basically

[marble silo]

that's unironically how I beat him on radiant for the first time

[median saffron]

jump over him when the fight starts so you get hit and can hit him during his intro

[shrewd nymph]

how do people play while livestreaming

how do you not become like completely braindead

[zealous skiff]

@shrewd nymph I got 1 3 hit on 0.1x speed with hitboxes after several atts

[median saffron]

thats weird

[shrewd nymph]

oh so its actually just hard

[zealous skiff]

do you have the video of a person getting 3 hits consistenly

[shrewd nymph]

i think so

lemme check

[median saffron]

enraged guardian screamed and only spawned one laser from the roof

[subtle glacier]

i can stream on discord and do fine but if i hit record i think my hands turn to pudding

[shrewd nymph]

im the complete opposite

[zealous skiff]

I've been trying upslash + wings + upslash + pogo

[subtle glacier]

makes speedrunning such a pain in my ass

[shrewd nymph]

i just got hit by oro and mato 3x in a row in screenshare rn

oro and fucking mato

[foggy sable]

honestly, real

[marble silo]

oro and mato should be easy, but they are top 4 hardest bosses to do radiant for me

[foggy sable]

playing while streaming impossible

[subtle glacier]

grey bingy

[shrewd nymph]

https://youtu.be/gKe1fqNfxOw?t=301

[subtle glacier]

bingy fire

[shrewd nymph]

i swear i take so much more knockback on upslashes

[foggy sable]

not until r5 reclear

[marble silo]

what's r5??

[subtle glacier]

hitless p5

[marble silo]

oh

sounds rough

[subtle glacier]

yep!

[marble silo]

I kinda wanna try it now

[zealous skiff]

OOOH MASTER

I thought you meant tyrant

[carmine lava]

what attack

[zealous skiff]

phase 2 dive

[shrewd nymph]

you got a 3 hit on tyrant??

wtf

[carmine lava]

that’s not possible on tyrant?

[shrewd nymph]

also what is going on in vc rn

oh chomp

bad timing

[ashen ginkgo]

omg hi chomp

ew hi quantum

[carmine lava]

bye

[ashen ginkgo]

weh

I’m sorry

[foggy sable]

vc is weird rn

[shrewd nymph]

BAD time to join

[subtle glacier]

it’s hkmain

[foggy sable]

true

[winter yacht]

I've found that most servers for games are pretty weird

[zealous skiff]

*on 0.1x speed with hitboxes and i got hit after cus it was a bad spawn

hi norbet

[shrewd nymph]

jolly boy is crazy

[zealous skiff]

💀

[subtle glacier]

the official ones for sure

[zealous skiff]

70% of the time i join hkmain vcs is background noise + hate listening anyway

[foggy sable]

rip

[winter yacht]

Yea the official ones. Then again my sample size is 3. HK, Monster Hunter and Nightreign.

They're all weird

[zealous skiff]

ill try and get it on full speed

[subtle glacier]

the only ones i’ve stayed in are hk and dark souls

[winter yacht]

MH is the funniest because you can ragebait people with some pretty lukewarm takes and watch everyone get their panties in a twist over something ridiculous.

I mostly stay in the HK one
And watch the MH one for live entertainment because it's funny

[subtle glacier]

one is a bunch of high schoolers having a big dick contest and trying to keep their egos afloat, the other is just a bunch of people who know everything about the game and then like 2 new players

[heavy barn]

what

[dense fjord]

White defender beaten

Now for the hard part of p5

[subtle glacier]

talking about official video game discords

and how weird they are

[heavy barn]

yeah i backread after but that was certainly a confusing first message to read

[foggy sable]

very apparently

[winter yacht]

Dunno which describes which here but it's probably accurate

[subtle glacier]

i mean this server has the nickname thing

if that doesn’t give it away

[waxen helm]

Nail masters are cooking me

[winter yacht]

Ah. Yeah

[heavy barn]

the nickname thing?

[subtle glacier]

you’re familiar

| SS 112% | PoP | P5 |

[heavy barn]

ohh

that's not that weird though is it

people just like flexing (shocker)

[subtle glacier]

i think it’s kinda weird

[foggy sable]

agreed

[winter yacht]

I used to do the nickname thing but I don't really care anymore. I don't really think I have to visibly display my achievements to be cool. (Because I'm not)

[subtle glacier]

if it was a handful of people i’d ignore it but it’s like the majority of the server

[heavy barn]

well i agre that it's kind of weird but not weird in the way I thought you meant it

[heavy barn]

i mean i've been mocking that in my nickname forever

[subtle glacier]

valid

[dense fjord]

Going into gpz with 3 masks

Wish me luck

[shrewd nymph]

let us flex chill

[winter yacht]

No

[heavy barn]

are you implying i can't flex my radtiktik and 2% smh

[shrewd nymph]

maybe..

[winter yacht]

I will be ambiguous as to whether I am a new player or a veteran

[zealous skiff]

you can dodge phase 2 tyrant dives by camping the top of a wall

[dense fjord]

And

[shrewd nymph]

yeah but i want it to look as cool as possible

[dense fjord]

The expected happened

[subtle glacier]

that’s the way to do it
and also it’s cleaner

[heavy barn]

even top speedrunners lose to radtiktik occasionally

[shrewd nymph]

shrue

[winter yacht]

Yep!
I choose to ignore the fact people can just see how long ago I've joined this server and make a guess

[median saffron]

you should unlock dream shield from markoth

[zealous skiff]

i swear it feels like tyrant rng changes when i turn off hitboxes

[fallow grotto]

hi

[heavy barn]

my dad works at team cherry and he said that in the next update markoth will upgrade your dream shield to spawn 2 like his own

[median saffron]

my dad owns roblox

i remembered that isnt a like

flex anymore

[winter yacht]

I want 2 Markoths actually
I want them to spawn, throw swords at enemies and the swords can also hit me accidentally

[solemn light]

more like the opposite tbh

[dark tiger]

i beat ascended pv today

awesome

[zealous skiff]

@shrewd nymph wtf is happening

[shrewd nymph]

i dont know.

it always goes from 2 people chatting to eachother to this

[winter yacht]

Looking as cool as possible is valid
Definitely why I play unoptimally. It looks cooler to pull off smooth fights.

[heavy barn]

the new update will have 2 markoths spin around a dream shield

[winter yacht]

Aw hell yea

[dark tiger]

Tuff

[solemn light]

not the contact damage

[zealous skiff]

@foggy sable switch

[subtle hull]

https://tenor.com/view/christmas-gif-18250654545090010651

[foggy sable]

that was a bit odd

[faint cairn]

would it be wrong if i cheated markoth to get radiant for him

[marble silo]

wym cheated? like invincibility?

[foggy sable]

easier resets

[winter yacht]

I should probably actually upload my Radiant PV fight I'm pretty proud of for how cool and smooth it looks
I have it in my dang Google drive and should probably upload it to YT at some point

[median saffron]

I DID IT

I DID IT

[subtle hull]

as long as u dont care it doesnt matter

[median saffron]

I DID IT

[faint cairn]

well, infinite charm notches

[marble silo]

eh go for it

[faint cairn]

like how tainted would the absolute 100% be

[marble silo]

that depends on you tbh

[subtle hull]

about as tainted as one cheated markoth

[median saffron]

I BEAT P4

I DID IT

[marble silo]

good job

[subtle hull]

but u dont have to care about that

[faint cairn]

eh

[winter yacht]

Not really? It only hurts you and your learning of the game. That's the true harm of cheating, you're denying yourself learning opportunities.

[faint cairn]

i'll cheat it for now then go back to it and beat it normally when i got nothing better to do

[quartz cave]

wtfff that sounds awesome

[quartz cave]

im doing ok ig

[faint cairn]

what is there to learn? markoth is the god of bs randomness.

[shrewd nymph]

any chem?

[quartz cave]

nuh uh ive finished all chem courses!

will prolly never have chem again

[shrewd nymph]

seems good

[quartz cave]

no thats bad

[shrewd nymph]

chem is scary

[rare aurora]

nice!

[shrewd nymph]

rules apply with like 15 exceptions

[quartz cave]

we still somehow got ph*sics and m*th

[rare aurora]

saved from chemistry

[quartz cave]

what the fuck is this real alp

[winter yacht]

Randomness, there's plenty
But it's not as bs as it seems at a glance
Every sword is positioned relative to your position
If you keep your movement tight and minimal, the swords are easier to predict and dodge

[shrewd nymph]

ok wtf

[quartz cave]

hiiii hru hows uni going

[median saffron]

i beat all the pantheons

is there another thing i need to do to unlock p5

i dont think i have all the bosses

[quartz cave]

own void heart

[rare aurora]

uni is still going great

hbu

[median saffron]

theres like 3 bosses that are just "..."

[faint cairn]

then you can't get many hits in. and markoth can just decide to float towards you. even if he doesn't then you can get hit by the mach 5 shield

[median saffron]

but i think those are winged nosk sob and absrad

[quartz cave]

raaaah im forcefeeding people black coffee in like 40 mins!!!

(experiment)

[median saffron]

i read that as forcefeeding black people coffee

[marble silo]

great slash and dash slash are your best friends

[faint cairn]

i am aware of that, but i barely get into phase 2 before dying.

[median saffron]

what did the godseekers even do

[subtle hull]

some bullshit

[winter yacht]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kp0q1MiCfJFqm_GFx9Q7v6IJzXl8pd-S/view?usp=drivesdk

I have this footage, sadly only in a Gdrive and I had a pee break in the middle of it at phase 2. Different music because I was grinding attempts and got tired of the pantheon music. This is AB Radkoth Nail only.

Yeah you can't get as many hits in, it's not a race.

[median saffron]

i get my own personal spa

thank you godseekers

[heavy barn]

run shaman twister and you only have to reach phase 2 to win

[winter yacht]

As for the floating towards you, that's why I camp one layer of platforms constantly. I don't really go up or down except when I hear the sound for when he's shield spinning

[heavy barn]

if you save all your soul you can just finish him off with shade souls

[faint cairn]

i'll prolly combine that with defender fluke and just pray i can get him in a good spot

[heavy barn]

defender fluke is worse than unmodified shade soul

[faint cairn]

oh

ok

[heavy barn]

never use defender fluke

[winter yacht]

Also I included a death at the start of the video 🫡

[heavy barn]

it's actually garbage

[foggy copper]

who the hell uses fluke anyway

[heavy barn]

flukenest is really good if you use it properly

[faint cairn]

well

[nimble trench]

p5 speedrunners

[faint cairn]

speedrunners use it

[nimble trench]

flukenest and fury

[heavy barn]

but dcrest flukenest does significantly less damage even if you get maximal damage from it

[foggy copper]

average speedrunner build

[foggy sable]

I took like 15-20 hours for radabsrad

[heavy barn]

dcrest + flukenest + shaman does 32 damage if you hit every tick of damage vs shaman doing 40 (not even counting multihits)

[obtuse brook]

Uhmmmmm...

[faint cairn]

took me maybe a couple of hours of attempts to beat nkg and pv on radiant combined, i've been trying markoth all day.

[heavy barn]

i mean markoth is top 2 hardest radiants by far

[zealous skiff]

@carmine lava I did it yippeeee

[faint cairn]

number one i can only assume is either zote or absrad

i struggle to not get hit by zote

[heavy barn]

absrad

[faint cairn]

oh

[regal perch]

is doing the pantheons ab worth it or nah

[heavy barn]

zote is #3 imo but that's pretty debatable

[nimble trench]

zote is probably top 3

[faint cairn]

doesn't give you any achievements, but it gives you bragging rights

[regal perch]

hot take oblobbles > gpz

[regal perch]

I’m doing them individually honestly speaking

[marble silo]

oblobbles are the hardest boss to do radiant don't @ me

[heavy barn]

that's not a hot take

oblobbles are kind of overrated though, they just require a weirder approach

[regal perch]

genuinely gpz isn’t that bad to radiant imo

[nimble trench]

radoblobbles suck but at least they have literally 1 attack

[regal perch]

maybe because I got the gold statue but I feel like his fight is fine

[winter yacht]

Radkoth isn't that bad for me for whatever reason.

[faint cairn]

i would pay for someone to make a mod that lets you use markoth's corpse as a bathroom after you beat him

[regal perch]

markoth is the worst though fs even with the most optimal strat I still hated it

[heavy barn]

markoth is also quite knowledge based

[marble silo]

their 1 attack makes my brain shut down for some reason

[heavy barn]

radkoth only took me like 20 minutes but absrad took me literally 10x longer

[faint cairn]

not actually pay but i would use the mod regularly

[heavy barn]

but i was told the best strat

[regal perch]

also can I get weathered mask by doing all the pantheon bindings individually

[heavy barn]

yeah

[shrewd nymph]

yes

[regal perch]

k thanks

[winter yacht]

In what way? Besides knowing that the swords spawn relative to you so you control them with your movement

[foggy sable]

which boss?

[heavy barn]

having the right approach for doing damage

[heavy barn]

rad markoth

[winter yacht]

Ah, makes sense.

[zealous skiff]

@shrewd nymph

htis took me like an hour to do and not get hit

[regal perch]

I have three radiant bosses left pv nkg and abs rad what order should I go for them

[heavy barn]

i think a huge part of the complaints about him stem from the fact that 80% of the playerbase is allergic to spells and/or narts

[obtuse brook]

(Not HK/SK related but...) Reviews of Metroid Prime 4 Beyond are basically this
-Best Game of 2025!
-Amazing game!
The most disappointing game ever...
Even a Website that hates Nintendo and their games like 60% of time gave Metroid Prime 4 Beyond a 9.5

[faint cairn]

NKG is the easiest to pattern recognize of the three, with PV right after.

do with that info what you will

[heavy barn]

nkg < pv <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< absrad basically

for me nkg was first try, pv took like 10-15 mins, and absrad took me about as long as every other radiant combined

[winter yacht]

Also makes sense lmao
I'm not allergic to either but I do usually prefer spells because I just find them easier to weave in between hits and while dodging

But when I started playing I was basically allergic to both

I beat that out of myself because it was not helping me in the pantheons

[twin marten]

That’s why I always use the nail build

I still do for colo

[foggy sable]

I'm super rusty at ab so p5ab low hit

[heavy barn]

colo is like THE worst place for a nail build

[boreal hollow]

Hi chat

[twin marten]

It’s helped me a bunch
And it makes it VERY fun

[boreal hollow]

ohh so thats why i sucked at colo

[winter yacht]

Fair enough
I run a pretty unoptimal spell build because I still love Soul Eater

[boreal hollow]

anyways hi chay

chat*

[heavy barn]

i mean colo is really dry with spells and narts

[winter yacht]

Soul Catcher basically does nothing

[heavy barn]

you just one shot everything mindlessly

so yeah nail build is probably more fun

[twin marten]

Yeah colo with nail build is one of the funnest things in the game icl

BUT THE STUPID WALL SECTION OF TRIAL 3

[boreal hollow]

what are the criteria for something being fun in hk

[faint cairn]

it gives you an extra two hits. combined with shaman that can be super op. carried me through my first victory against radiance and abs rad

[twin marten]

If I have fun doing it…

Oh u mean

[marble silo]

if something is fun, it's fun

[winter yacht]

Wdym extra two hits

[regal perch]

what builds do yall recommend for bindings

[marble silo]

depends on the binding

for shell, I used strength, quick slash, shaman stone, and heart

[faint cairn]

two spells. when you have a full supply of soul it gives you the ability to cast two more spells without farming for more soul. also makes spells cheaper in general

[heavy barn]

charm

[marble silo]

oh just overcharm

[heavy barn]

ohhh

makes sense

thanks

[marble silo]

np

[regal perch]

what abt soul and nail

[marble silo]

soul charm I just went all in on nail damage

[winter yacht]

I think you're talking about Spell Twister bro
I was talking about Soul Catcher which does basically nothing to realistically increase usable soul

[marble silo]

strength, quick slash, mark of pride, nailmasters glory, and idk what else I forgor

[median saffron]

fuck you pure vessel i banged ur mom loser

[marble silo]

nail I think I just went with my normal build which is strength, shaman, quick slash and spell twister

[regal perch]

thank you

[marble silo]

np

[faint cairn]

oh mb

i'm tired i didn't recognize you were talking about soul catcher

[boreal hollow]

Oh hey its me

[marble silo]

bro you're like my goat

[winter yacht]

No biggie
I was just saying that I like running Soul Eater and that's not optimal lmao

Idc about being optimal even if it might annoy people

[foggy sable]

ingame timers are very wrong

[faint cairn]

sometimes you just gotta throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks

[winter yacht]

True
I could probably get away with Spell Twister but then I have a 2 notch gap in my build and there's nothing I'd want to slot there.

[foggy sable]

p5ab low hits are awful

[winter yacht]

Can imagine

[boreal hollow]

Oh hey its me

[winter yacht]

Current build is: Soul Eater, Mark of Pride, Shaman Stone and Dream Wielder.

[marble silo]

no quick slash?

[winter yacht]

Nah, I wouldn't make good use of it

[foggy sable]

@zealous skiff I do it when I enjoy it

when I don't like it I do something else

[marble silo]

fair enough

I can't live without quick slash icl

even when I play mods

[boreal hollow]

waa no one is online in hk help
theres nobody to help in the game

[winter yacht]

My playstyle kinda doesn't really work with Quickslash because I do outright have a slower = safer playstyle.

[rare aurora]

fuck being “optimal”

the game’s meant to be fun

[winter yacht]

True

[foggy sable]

every teleport get to the middle then DDark and upslash the rebound

[boreal hollow]

I beat hornet 2, watcher knights and thk with a full-family build (glowing womb, grimmchild and weaversong and some extras)

that does not sound optimal

[rare aurora]

cdash only nkg

[winter yacht]

And I don't mean slower as in healing off damage
I mean slower as in, if I see a pattern I don't like, I wait it out and focus on dodging

[faint cairn]

i miss grimmchild. a friend told me that i had to banish to keep the child 😔

[onyx wigeon]

Grey
How do I fight thorns of agony

[boreal hollow]

how

[rare aurora]

you just keep crashing into him

[faint cairn]

but hey look on the brightside i got the ultimate radiant cheese in the process

[rare aurora]

yeahhhhh noooooo

[boreal hollow]

Im not grey but huh?

[winter yacht]

That sounds like pain

[onyx wigeon]

How do I fight thorns of agony

[rare aurora]

3 notches for a chance to not die is

oof

[rare aurora]

you unequip it

[faint cairn]

that was a joke. no way i'm wasting 3 notches for a chance to tank a hit mid radiant fight

[rare aurora]

oh mb hard to read

[marble silo]

if you have a gambling addiction then melody is awesome

[onyx wigeon]

It threatened my family

[winter yacht]

I don't have a gambling addiction
I just really like fighting NKG

[rare aurora]

if you have a gambling addiction come play at this casino i found all profits go to me

[boreal hollow]

kill every enemy in greenpath without benching

[onyx wigeon]

Melody doesn't even work when you haven't gotten hit

[boreal hollow]

and in queens gardens

[marble silo]

honestly I don't think I ever chose the option to banish the grim squad

so I never even considered using the charm

[onyx wigeon]

It

's good for radiance

the other one

other other one

[rare aurora]

eh

[faint cairn]

it has a 0.1% chance of saving your run. other than that it's a waste of space for the most part

at least the npc is nice

[onyx wigeon]

other other other other one

we don't talk about the other other other one

[foggy sable]

@shrewd nymph I am a proud SoB hater

they have way too much hp and take forever

especially ab

[rare aurora]

y’all have

takes

for sure

[onyx wigeon]

Should I stream

because I am new

[sterile willow]

is there a tutorial anywhere on how to do shriek pogo? or like a video of someone doing it with input displays?

[winter yacht]

But tbh if you run it to save your run
Odds are nerves will end up killing you anyway afterwards

[rare aurora]

somewhere in the speedrunning server

lemme see if i can find it

[onyx wigeon]

peedrunning

[winter yacht]

So it's not really good, just accept the loss and focus up

[onyx wigeon]

No

[winter yacht]

[rare aurora]

@sterile willow

[onyx wigeon]

Too much text

[winter yacht]

Shrogo is cursed

[sterile willow]

im doing a randomizer and i think wallclimb is giga locked

[onyx wigeon]

Wow it's one of the two times Long Nail is good

[rare aurora]

you can check your helper log

[worthy peak]

Longnail is always good

[onyx wigeon]

No

[foggy sable]

stagger lock not worth imo

[thorny dragon]

Who‘s your most hated Boss? Mine is Gorb

[winter yacht]

Sometimes you gotta be the battering ram and sometimes you gotta be the chisel picking the stone apart

[onyx wigeon]

My hated boss is watcher knights because it's lazy as hell

[marble silo]

oblobbles

[onyx wigeon]

[marble silo]

fuck oblobbles

[worthy peak]

its not brilliant but its alwys good

[onyx wigeon]

No

[winter yacht]

Collector. (AB)

[thorny dragon]

Its annoying but Abbys shriek carries

[worthy peak]

how is it not

It is literrally just a buff

So many bosses have attacks that are much easier to outspace with longnail

[thorny dragon]

Eww, yea

[onyx wigeon]

Because

I said so

[worthy peak]

Marmu

[winter yacht]

Tis my HK philosophy. Poetry, if you will.

[onyx wigeon]

and it makes you stinky

[thorny dragon]

What did Marmu to you

[onyx wigeon]

Greyfire loves marmu

[worthy peak]

Ignore knockback repeatedly

[onyx wigeon]

you should ask him about it

[marble silo]

my philosophy is that I gotta be a cracked out gremlin and play hyper aggressively no matter what

[fallow grotto]

marmu has rarely done this to me

marmu is actually my best friend

[winter yacht]

Hey if it works it works

I'm just notoriously silly

[onyx wigeon]

my philosophy is to not get hit

[thorny dragon]

Marmu Experience was carrying me in flea juggle so I appreciate it

[marble silo]

50/50 success rate, depending on the boss

[winter yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/baneofbelial-odds-i-like-those-odds-mando-mandalorian-gif-4627605777046762265

[worthy peak]

Mine is to make sure the boss dies

[onyx wigeon]

No

Killing is bad

[marble silo]

rn it's like 10/90 success rate cuz I'm playing pale court, but it's fun af

[worthy peak]

but nobody came:)

[onyx wigeon]

[winter yacht]

What about giving them a CTE so they go take a nap nap?

[onyx wigeon]

Pipe bomb

[worthy peak]

... wait no please don - arghhh

[onyx wigeon]

Shut up

[worthy peak]

I don't wanna

also rude

[winter yacht]

Aight I'll send a pipe bomb to Collector AB

[onyx wigeon]

Correct move

[worthy peak]

Cyclone slash is more effective

Pipe bomb might not catch all the summons

[winter yacht]

Sometimes I turn off ABs just to clown on him normally and feel better about myself

😌

[worthy peak]

Is this P3 or P5

[winter yacht]

P5. I haven't done P3AB yet but I'm practicing the P5AB Collector ahead of time too

[worthy peak]

hmm how are you practicing it - do you remember to have increased hp summons for example

[foggy sable]

1 more r5 attempt but I'm playing really bad so who knows

[winter yacht]

Mods
There's one for specifically HoG AB practice

That turns the Radiant option into just the P5 equivalent

[marble silo]

ik she's fan made, but Dryya actually rivals NKG and Karmelita for me in terms of fun

[worthy peak]

nice

[foggy sable]

see you

[winter yacht]

It's always the attempts where you think you're playing badly

[worthy peak]

noticing your playing badly might actually signal you are reacting faster.

i think

thats why

[winter yacht]

Ah

[worthy peak]

but ussually that means your hands can't keep up as well

so reactions are slower compared to your thought

this is just speculation really though

[winter yacht]

True but it's still kinda interesting

[foggy sable]

r5 I know what is bad because it results in hits

[worthy peak]

then again theres also that

[winter yacht]

Yea fair

[worthy peak]

kind of messes up the entire thought experiment

[foggy sable]

yep

[winter yacht]

Still think it's a really interesting phenomenon

How much the mental affects a game like this

[onyx wigeon]

Do not think

[worthy peak]

too late

[onyx wigeon]

Bad

[winter yacht]

You can't tell me what to do

[onyx wigeon]

Bad

[winter yacht]

I'm going to keep thinking

[worthy peak]

I don't particularily care what you say

[winter yacht]

[idle belfry]

@sick heath heads

[torn basin]

Why is it quiet

[foggy sable]

Good news you didn't I just played awful for a solid 2-3 hours which is sad

[marble silo]

extroverts left

[foggy sable]

All the people who were talking left and no conversations were halfway through

So conversation died

[zealous skiff]

sadge

[foggy sable]

I think streaming it made me bad at p5

[marble silo]

the skill issues from the ones who watched rubbed off on you

[foggy sable]

Nah my own skill issues, streaming it adds pressure
