on p5 obv but it makes some radiant bosses easier
Sharp shadow is just not worthy of me
ur not worthy of me
My almighty self wont touch that charm again
like what
watcher knights oro and mato and nkg
why
i honestly wont even mind that
Range make sharp shadow worst than no charms on most boss tbh
nkg has like one or two attacks you can actually use sharp shadow on
and even then just parry or pogo off of him
Because i don't want that bumass charm to fuck my shit up by staggering the boss right on top of me
you can use it on every attack except for 2
pufferfosh and the one with thorns coming out of the ground
two
And i hate it
pufferfish and dash dive
watcher knights and oro/mato you shouldnt even be dashing through largely because theyre so tubby
free damage when you dash through triple slash
you can get lkie 5 hits in
And the slash attack and the fire pillars
Better without s shadow
Cant u do that whitout sshadow
stop
isnt that basically what sharp shadow is made for though
watcher knights you can dash through more easier but like
jumping in the air and dashing above is just so much easier lol
<@&283547423706447872>
its easier with
yes which is my point as to why it is bad 
Keep in mind thats like 0.5x damage for 2-4 notches
oh no the bots catched up
S shadow is only more damage afaik on puffer and dash dife
I legit always dash through watcher knights
Not once have I thought about jumping over them
Why have i started that sharp shadow argument 😔
sharp shadow is ass nonetheless
Drama
Sharpshadow is peak I love it sm
Jump.
If you love it use it
this is what i mean when i say s shadow doesnt deserve the hate
dashing through watcher knights is good when they become a ball but even then just d dark them if push comes to shove
But it is terrible, thats the point
its better then people give credit to
sharp shadow was nice on stuff like oro and mato or oblobbles
why obbleobbles
sharp shadows only thing that it really has going for it is that its not the worst charm
if i get cornered i can try dashing through them
.
..
bro just dont get cornered
why are you getting cornered by oblobbles
...
you get like 50 years to avoid that
Exactly
"bro just do R5"
yeah it's easy
its an additional layer of safety why shouldnt i have it on
not being cornered by oblobbles = r5 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️
also they fat af is it even possible to consistently dash through them even with s shadow
even then if you really need the additional safety net when you somehow get cornered just ddark and dash out of the way
im getting cooked
havent gotten used to using ddark for iframes, windup feels very slow to me compared to dash
youre not using sharp shadow
if you have room to ddark that is
if not then. tough luck ig because what are we doing getting cornered by oblobbles
Or literally just attack with ur nail and move them out of the way
The 2 notches are better on twister to keep them away with spells
or use shade soul
I know the most optimal build is twister shaman strengh and quickslash
I rarely use spells so for me spell twister is a waste
while theyre spitting out orbs on radiant?
nitro for 3 days brah
shaman double hit shade soul
yes
at least its free
99% of gamblers quite before hitting jackpot
but i don't use the spells unless my bar is white so i don't use it becasue of the visual indicator
if youre getting cornered by oblobbles on radiant might be time to rethink your strat
yup
This^^
you shouldn't even be close to getting cornered
Am I the only one that found sly to be painful on radiant?
how do you influence their trajectories at all?
I hated every second of his fight Amma be honest
Me when HK-Gen and Art Discussion are hit by scammers
mark of pride
ill also be crucified for this but heavy blow too believe it or not
With hk gen it is hard to tell
heavy blow aint too bad
all could work but you cant prevent it every time
OMFG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
i tried it before
Everyone in hk general is a scammer
but i personally wouldnt use it
ELEGY AND HEAVY BLOW WERE MY GO TO
I = cooked by bsrad
just seems really weird to me how sharp shadow is the only charm getting consistently hated on when its not that terrible
for once its not a skill issue
hheh
yup
Not even constantly ill defend that charm until I drop
its no even radiant yet...
i wouldnt use it for pantheons anymore but its genuinely not unusable
also still not a skill issue (for once)
i agree with that
for 2nds
it took me like 30m to an hour to beat absrad on asc for the first time
I find it so annoying that you can't use fury on radiant bosses
https://medal.tv/games/hollow-knight/clips/lDFaINXm47tr-Vz20?invite=cr-MSw3SGIsNDY4MDI3MDQ4&v=11 still dont know if its possible to even hit sly while hes spinning but i got a hit in like 2 frames after the attack ended so something is inclining me to think i can get a hit in if i jump high enough and do a near frame perfect input
Watch sly shit by C1PHERT0L0GY and millions of other Hollow Knight videos on Medal. #hollowknight
i havent got past 1 st phae
Like if I'm gonna die in 1 hit anyway atleast let me use it
Idk
great slash
ok then thats a skill issue
it really helped me during P3AB
I think mark of pride + steady body + heavy blow could be good for sly
but i don't give a fuck
with no nail arts i mean
nail arts is way cooler
or spells, just nail only
Whats the best 2 notch charm
nail arts regardless is going to be good
Quick slash
What worked for me personally is strength, quickslash, elegy, heavy blow
sharp shadow fr
dashmaster\
Correct.
dammit
i lost my progress in hk
the hivemind replies to the wrong messages
I'm gonna get so much hate for this but I say sharpshadow (pls don't stone me)
Yes yes I knowww spell twister is just sooo much better in every aspect
best 2 notchcharm is stalwart shell‼️ ‼️ ‼️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️
But I don't use spells so it's useless for me
dash master better
Soul catcher
why do we have quick slash on for 3 notches when we can have thorns of agony and stalwart shell on at the same time. Literally pointless
nah
how much hp is first phase
This guy knows ball
idk
Stop using quickslash. It's situational.
google it
i cant stand not having max attack speed
it says 400 but I hit the boss 20 times and no phase 2
read the wiki more
Quickslash and situational are 2 words I never expect to see in the same sentence
its phases are different
its literally not in the same sentence
there is a guy who unironically argued this before
its one of my favorite moments of this chat
d-does the hunter journal include absrad by any chance
no
no
ok thank god
True...
That's only for the masochists tho
at 161/163 rn, kinda annoying that I don't know who I miss
Shaman stone is overrated
Just use your nail
and is required for hunters mark
guys i need ur opinions on a sitaution about HK
This^^
What's up?
Wrong
ik
anyways if its your first playthrough
qs is clearly mid not situational smh
finally defeated || pv ||
now I just have to defeat him in || pantheon 4 || for 112%
Pipe bomb
i found out phase 2 is when the spikes first appear
dam
you can regain the progress really fast
Its situational. Mark of pride is better clearly...
Always
you will prob get back to where you were at in like 2 or 3 hours
its was my first playthrought
Sharp shadow is better than qs
unbreakable greed better
what 💀
What
am in the right or wrong
True
Glowing womb >>>
right
i died steel soul mode
thx bro
Does using custom knight mods reset ur progress
Just revive
no
Nope
never got past green path... why is it so hard for me to not die to platforming
Ok thx
oh, it seems I know what they are now, Void Idol & Weathered Mask
one more time
fuck, should've completed the journal before opening godhome
Can i mod hk on mobile?
im up to platforms finally
DLC stuff doesnt count towards journal completion or hunters mark
Journal and mask aren't required
that's just the normal rad right
SHHHHHH
I mean idol and mask
Is there even an entry for absrad
no
Oh yea tooootally
no its the same as normal radiance
Can i mod hk on mobile ??
Man idk I never played on mobile
I rlly want clown skin
yeah idk how though but ive seen some people do it, #modding-discussion and #1057825333841240104
Tyyy
Can i fight hornet
No
no
No
You're not allowed to play silksong until you try the full hollow knight experience
Wait 7 years after first playthrough
looking up the wiki about void idol & weathered mask:
void idol... getting to absrad is a pain in the pass, but I plan to eventually beating p5 anyway
weathered mask... uh huh... yep, never getting this
I think i need to " buy " the game
Does the game even have a mobile port?
Weathered mask is just get the bindings, not all at once
idk i searched it up 10 months ago and downloaded it and here i am
void idol is getting every boss in hall of gods
but it's only ONE of the 3 versions of it
as far as i know you can do 1 binding at a time
what do u get for beating path of pain?
and given each binding individually is kindd of easier than P5 on the first 4
a sense of pride & acomplishment
you get a load of lifeblood
epic
Hallo
also like a two second cutscene that means very little without understanding other bits of lore
fire
is it worth it for you?
the prospect of having to beat p5 at least 4 times does not make it sounds any better
cause like only you can answer whether its worth it for you
it gets a lot easier :)
You can, but if you do every pantheon on every binding all at once you get a new area
and another one
<@&283547423706447872> bro stop FUCKING SELLING
of course its someone who hasnt chatted before
pretty sure it doesn't have to be all at once
Scammers in damn near every channel
correct
hey
But charm P5 is gonna be rough
whatcha talking bout
I’m pretty sure it does but lemme google it
that's what i said tho
hi*
The Weathered Mask is found within the Land of Storms, a secret area of Godhome. To access this area, all Pantheons need to be completed with all Bindings. The Bindings can be done any number at a time.
Well, you don’t need to do them all at once for land of storms
Get them mods
I can't traslate english in auto anymore
<@&283547423706447872> please
fuck this server i'm off for the day
Do your job
whats with these things i only see them in this server
this is a massive server
I’ve seen them in other servers too
It are scammers
time stranger connected we are saved
Free money for the mods
420K users
It sucked
422568* haha
Do i dream nail queen vespa?
no
Congrats!!!
are there even any EU/asian timezone mods?
huh
In the english speaking server of a australian game where character inteded way to speak is british i don't think so
No I'm asking this from a moral standpoint
is it ur first time
no
Is it better to dream nail her or not
its my first playthrough
i feel its best if u leave her
oh congrats
But she's just stick there
its gonna get harder
do u wanna live with the guilt of having her stuck in ur dream nail
i made that mistake
Ok but like
Is dream nailing that bad?
think about mariss
yes unlocks an ending
Well, you need it to fully complete
yes
I'm just removing them from an eternal memory
I think?
from ethical perspective ofc
They are memories right?
u do know there are 5 pantheons right
can i do multiple endings on one save file or not really
kinda
yes
yeah i noticed 5 huge doors
u can
3 first
the pantheons have some new bosses
Btw are there any mods active?? The HK lore discussion channel seems to be flooded with bots
Feels kinda right to dream nail her?
so i can do the pantheon one and true at once?
Don't want her just stuck there
yes
you can see the member list right?
epic
it's a saturday and 6am
yall im on slu p3 7 masks any advice
time to get + 100 hours on my save file then
like they have better things to do
Ahh I'm on mobile so I forgot to check, but yeah
Timezones bro
i have 200 hours haha
yeah but it's really early in other zones too
|| well, most ghosts don't want to get dream nailed which implies that dream nailing is bad for them and they most prolly will be stuck in the nail forever ||
goodbye yall
i have 24 😭
It... depends? It's 1pm for me
na u se them to dreamgate
all over over america it's real early
for that you can fight || warrior dreams or dream bosses ||
do i have to do all bindings for the pantheon ending thingy?
its okay to dream nail everyone but those ghosts protected by the other ghost and do not dream nail marissa or whatever she was called
no you just beat p 5 for the ending
don't dream nail any ghost except || dream bosses and warriors ||
yes
There is
bullying hornet is so fun
Git gud
chat is this build good ?
No
Dunno
If you don't have experience with him play super passively and do not try to greed for damage
Yes. If you dream nail everything you get punished by getting dream nailed irl
Ok so what if i dream nail you
true
happened with me, I can confirm
I kinda feel bad for hornet bro, I just killed her mother
Don't
Sad shaw
I don't feel bad cuz hornet looks fine
If it makes you feel better, her mother knew what was gonna happen
Troupe master or nkg?
His attacks aren't that bad. For the bats you can jump over the first one and dash through the rest and damage him
Yeah
For his uppercut and dash you can dash through him
It's all about practice
And he is harder the first time cuz you're also limited with charms
Ok
😔
Why
another file dead on green path
steelsoul mode
hhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
It's free until the cursed spike floor section and i hate it for that

i love indie cross
Ultrakill mentioned
ULTRAKILL mentioned
Thy end is now!
Die!
Prepare thyself!
WEAK!
ggs
JUDGMENT!
CRUSH!
gabriel my beloved
I just beat radiance
Congrats!!
YESSSSS
No way it's ferryman ultrakill!
Oh niceee congrats!
Im sad and happy at the same time cause I can’t fight Grimm anymore
Thanks
Took me like a week to beat it the first time around, it feels sooo good when you finally beat it though!
I think you can still fight him in godhome
I personally beat radiance before last trial of the colosseum…
Its so hard
Same actually LMAO
Great
The third trial pissed me off soo much
Same it’s so fucking hard I can’t beat it
Literally went and came back to it a few times during my exploration before I finally beat the radiance and decided it was time to lock in and actually beat it
ultrakill has arguably the best music ever.
I'm gonna say something controversial
Violence layer my beloved
I think imma finish the pantheons then beat that trial
The conductors's gauntlet in silksong was harder than the trial of the fool
versus my beloved
Does sm1 have a screenshot of the Shielded Fool saying "Are we all fools" in the colosseum of fools?
What's your build? I can't remember what build I used exactly but I remember hiveblood helped me out a bunch for the no-floor sections
I kinda need it for a video im editing
Idk still haven’t played silksong yet
Nuuuuuuuuuu :(
Iirc it was Mark of Pride, hiveblood, Nailmaster and some other stuff
Idk man i passed it first try and i still struggle on trial of the fool
Can't remember if I used unbreakable strength though
U did that first try?
I change it a lot Idk what to use yet idk about hiveblood tho I don’t think imma use it
Are you like hollow knight jesus?
The High Halls gauntlet yeah
I haven't beaten silksong yet but it's much more challenging for me in many regards so I believe you
OH THAT ONE
I'm actually struggling on it right now LMAOO
Anyways
Its so difficult lmfao
It's good if you don't get hit very often, since you can't heal in the air sections
My friends told me that I can apparently get Shakra to help
But also I'm feeling kinda stubborn
Wait you can do that??
Might stop bashing my head against it for a while and go on to explore the map before coming back
That's what I did with Sherma in Whiteward
Apparently yeah??
I literally get hit by those bugs who hit like 3 things everytime
Awh man
What do those masks represent ?
I still haven’t explored the slab yet though I have no idea where to even begin exploring it. So I might have to go look for a way to get there.
Or go explore sinners road with those fuckass crocodiles.
Limited to 4 masks only
Ohhh
The primal aspids?
Mask binding
Basically u can't use those masks
Yeah actually I've neglected sinners road after finding the bench that didn’t work. I should go there
I had some pretty scary moments tho so ig it's fair
Yeah I hate them so much
tragic p5ab deaths
I get it😭 I like to use a charged slash to get rid of them
Its just for fun like you get no rewards ?
bragging rights
It takes too long to charge it I just never use it
Nailmaster's glory is your friend here
Headass should have died to gpz just so that I don't feel bad 😭
Yeah true imma try to use it more often
1-14 pls PICK a number for wat radiant to do in hog
14
THERE'S ONLY VOID IDOL & MASK LEFT
who said DLC don't count for journal completion??
Him
I don't think they do
Iirc the seal of binding doesn't even change the journal counter
It's just there
How do u have 163 but u only have 152
So i'd assume both void idol and mask don't either
those add to the max, so youll have 163/165
Some entries are hidden and don't effect the achievement
Like grey prince zote and his minions
Ohhhh
Did you fight vengefly king in greenpath
I don’t wanna search it on ytb since I’m doing a challenge with my friend who can get 112% first without searching any thing
Zote doesn't count towards %
Yes
Oh ok thanks
This is goated
With 2025 come to an end, do you think it is generally a good or bad year for HK ?
Good year since I discovered it
Nah jk Idk
CUTE
I'd say it was great
Silksong finally released ?
With Silksong's release, not only have many fans played it but I've seen many people check out HK for the first time as well
(Me included)
Yeah lolll
There's also been a surge of both HK and SS content from what I've seen
Overall SS releasing was enough to make it a great year for HK
what is a goam
It's good year for me for I have joined this server months before silksong dropped and I have finally return to HK after 2 years to finish it all.
Nicee
I met grimm :D
This is peak
Tall fellow
what charm build do i use yall
nah knight just short
Depends if you wanna explore or fight
i prefer exploring
4
How do i use thorns of agony

Step 1: get hit

Hollow Knight
music starstruck supernova albeit break loose albeit lunar transfuge
Goodnight suscar

fuck you oblobbles
lol real
obbles fun
oh as in you need one?
yes
probably qs, strength, sbody, shaman, soul eater
and DDark spam them when they are moving and get nail hits when they aren't
oh ok
alternatively swap eater for MoP
it is
Im on my first playthrough and I wonder should I leave zote to die or save him casue I heard you get an achievement for leaving him but what do you get from saving him?
achievement either way
for a more complete experience, save him
LET IT DIE
let it die
just, dont do the final steps if you value your endgame
k thx
save zote imo
thats not a concern now, just save him and play normally
for the enhanced experience
Thanks 4 the help have a nice day
Do not save zote
LET IT DIE
Marmu
zote
Yes
hello, i'm back
No you aren't
trying to lock in the bosses for P4AB
ascended is usually the correct way to train for it
how do you even die to hornet one in the fucking pantheons
idk i didnt make the gif
Skill issue
ez just get skrill issued
Sshadow
SIX SEVENNNNNK BVNJDNFGJBGFNRKOFIJNEKORITGN FMELKJFNG FKEN FEJNF RJNF FKE
do i continue my challenge run today or continue P4AB
whats the challenge?
glad i dont have to do radiant watcher knights again
true ending but progression is largely limited to OST order
@foggy sable wsg
lurien and monomon are kil rn and i dont think the run will be too crazy afterwards because most of the skips were earlier on when i didnt have claw
and with P4AB i just have to get over my skill issue and beat pure vessel and not die to stupid shit
hii
I was watching the cricket now I'm not up to much
helo
oh my god peak
this match has been pretty good so far
Who's playing
England & Australia
Oh 
yup. Doing random challenges with it on in the background
Getting the cartographer achievement is much easier than you think
i did radab absrad 3x in a row which isn't much but i suck at it for some reason
I get so fucking bored
I was doing r5 runs to it before
any luck?
(not today but yesterday)
oh yuh
I'm doing radiant mantis lords 😅
nah just the 2 reclears 1 and 2 days ago
gl
nothing today
thats smth
gl im trying rad watcher knights they SO ANNOYINH
I'm pretty happy with it tbh
first reclear took 7 hours and the second took 2
Try spell build
I think taking cfm off and trying to dodge the slashes with jump + walking away instead of shade cloaking through would make you more consistent
i’m so confused, i beat Sly and Paintmaster Sheo first try at the end of their pantheons
while it took me countless tries to beat nail brothers oro and mato 🦗
switch with wat?
you have trouble with multi enemy bosses?
cus rn I notice you shade cloaking before every attack which leads to you getting hit if watchers roll back and you think its a slash
yes
explains it
that's pretty good
sheo is pretty straightforward
📉 indeed
both ^2 attempts were bad though so that is a bit tragic
honestly, their roll fakeouts are annoying
if you just get enough r5 runs it'll happen eventually
you think its forward or bounce, but no
wat charm do i swtich for cfm
Sharp shadow
i cant speak for r5^2 but in my experience with other "in a row" challenges
I feel like a good thing for nerves is trying to focus on your r5 "consistency" and less so the individual attempt. a lot easier said than done tho
I have been radicalized by sharp shadow cultists
but like when i was doing niwa^4 even if my end goal was niwa so many times in a row, i wouldnt really care if I got win win death win win, even if that's "so close to 4x in a row" I just tricked myself into focusing on consistency. Although massive difference between a 6 minute challenge and a 90 minute challenge 💀
hm perhaps
I need intervention
what for
duo fight
long and hard
Sharp shadpw
too late for you
okay, gotta get more consistent with failed champion in P4AB
force jump and cyclone slash
Im already using cyclone after he does his jump smash
i think lune might mean stand 1/2 the arena length away from fc to force a charge jump then cyclone
I think so
Maybe
No
hello
🐮
sketchy segment
heloo chmop
hihi meow
good luck on run grey
ty!
it is more safety
cant you shriek
hi firey
I can shriek but I prefer the i frames that cover the projectiles
you can shriek safely cus last I remember he always moves a fixed distance
harder to mess up
do what works
and since I do the rest of it fine I figure I;ll play it safely
Too much text
ew bad name
Explode.

aw greys smart and doesnt do the cool tyrant strats
it probably works idk it works for you so

Until it doesn't.. but lets hope thats not during something important
Everyone what's your favourite area?
None
Grey feels less aggro than i remember
i love ultrakill
City of tears/Resting grounds/ Kingdom's edge
Oh right r5
Foreshadowing is a narrative device in which suggestions or warnings about events to come are dropped or planted
Going for consistency
get flipped zote
Nice i like resting grounds too
Sharp Shadow
Okayyy time to attempt radiant abs rad for the 500 million-th time
not even close
Good luck
The hell is grey doing to fc
Thanks, I'll need it
Lmao
I'm doing radiant mantis lords
I've messed fc stagger up before
Misinformation or sharp shadow
Sharp information
Also do i have to beat all dream bosses and warrior dreams for awoken dream nail?
Why
No
What should i do to get essence fast?
When did I meet lune
I lowk forgot how I met most people here
Summer of '40
I remember how i met grey and thats it
But that was on my other account
I don't remember
With which one should i start?
Except i consistently got ignored during convos 
I hate being late in runs
Gg bench
Lost kin gives the most, doesnt really matter
No reason

does plats damage transfer to final if you over damage her?
nope
im probably sleeping soon tho
mm i see
Final is always 10 hits of dmg iirc
but I'm not used to full equip absrad so I can't tell the damage
oh gotcha
hi mcow
and ab I would normally greed the beams because no soul
i like how late for me is like the time you stay up to every vc
ah well
shsushhhhh
