[heavy barn]

ok?

[scenic furnace]

wha-

[heavy barn]

thanks for the information?

[scenic furnace]

that's not what I said

I just asked would I get judged if I used a wiki for this game

[unique cairn]

Nobody will judge you

[vernal knot]

Oh

No

[scenic furnace]

ok cool

one more thing

[heavy barn]

yeah there's like no one who goes through the game without using guides or searching something up at some point

[copper spruce]

I will judge you for not judging

[scenic furnace]

(true ending spoilers) ||Is beating radiance in less than 10 attempts effectively charmless good for a first playthrough (I only had compass cause its goated)||

[heavy barn]

spoilers aren't needed in this channel and also there's no good or bad amount of tries

it's impossible to tell you

[vernal knot]

You don't need to spoil

[scenic furnace]

interesting response

[vernal knot]

And there's no way to tell you

[heavy barn]

i mean that doesn't sound particularly unusual but that's all i can say about it

[unique cairn]

why charmless?

[scenic furnace]

just wanted to challenge myself for a first time

[unique cairn]

10 attempts is around what it took me

charmful

[scenic furnace]

I used soul catcher early on but then I just didnt use it

[keen thorn]

True

[unique cairn]

I use Souleater+Shaman stone+whatever else

[worn hamlet]

ngl I don't even remember how difficult regular radiance is compared to final ending spoilers ||absrad|| bc it's been so long since I got the true ending spoilers ||dream no more ending||

[heavy barn]

a lot easier

[worn hamlet]

well that much is obvious

but in the range of a lot easier exactly how much I don't remember

like for example gruz mother is also a lot easier than absrad

so is winged nosk

one is a lot harder than the other though

[fringe coral]

abs rad just attacks much faster

and final phase isn’t a 1 shot

[worn hamlet]

ik the differences but I haven't tried regular radiance in awhile

[vernal knot]

This channel should be called #hk-gameplay atp

[worn hamlet]

I don't remember how much slower than absrad regular radiance is

[fringe coral]

we are discussing hollow knight

[worn hamlet]

yea no it should just be called hk-general-2

[vernal knot]

Yes

[worn hamlet]

we talk abt the most random things here

[vernal knot]

Perchance

Everytime I check it's discussing strategis and stuff tho

[fringe coral]

that’s kinda peak tho

[vernal knot]

May just be me

[worn hamlet]

agreeddd

[vernal knot]

#hk-general is right there

tho

[worn hamlet]

it's great not to be limited to a single topic

[fallow grotto]

yes

go on

[fallow grotto]

return to #hk-lore in which you came from 🤮

[fringe coral]

counter argument:
:P

[worn hamlet]

lmao

[vernal knot]

Ok Racist

[fallow grotto]

😭

true

[vernal knot]

There's nothin in #hk-lore 😭

We only come alive to absolutely ratio the shit out of someone who gets something wrong

[worn hamlet]

nosk moment :o

[fringe coral]

charizard glaze on your profile is crazy

[vernal knot]

What's wrong with Charizard

do you have an issue with Charizard

[fringe coral]

nah it isn’t bad

[vernal knot]

If you do I'm going to have an issue with you

[fringe coral]

[vernal knot]

Okay good

Are you?

[fringe coral]

what makes zard the best in your opinion

[bleak venture]

Yes

[vernal knot]

Design

uh

Design

I ain't going to hold you it's basically a case of "I chose it as a child, I'll stick to it till I die"

Yo how you doing nkg

[foggy sable]

@wary hound please use dive when they are stacked on each other I beg of you

[subtle glacier]

🦦

[foggy sable]

hihi choom

[subtle glacier]

helloooo

[foggy sable]

how has bingy been

[subtle glacier]

good i think

[foggy sable]

yay

[copper spruce]

Sad

[subtle glacier]

it’s the definitive weekend of my uni semester so i haven’t been suuuuper active today

[copper spruce]

Choom

[foggy sable]

I see

[copper spruce]

I am in akihabra

[subtle glacier]

holy

[copper spruce]

Do you recommend anything

[subtle glacier]

hmmmm

lots of video game merch idk

i think that’s where the sega store is? i forget

[frozen hull]

Guys look under there

[upbeat wedge]

i'm not falling 4 this

[frozen hull]

[upbeat wedge]

i have a very annoying little sister, i'm not falling 4 it

[main crow]

Hello v1 Ultrakill

[upbeat wedge]

hi

[copper spruce]

Under what

[copper spruce]

I need to blow up 20000 yen

[foggy sable]

dive single splash more damage than fireball @trim schooner

20 compared to 15

[copper spruce]

Thinking of gunpla tbh

Or tools

[subtle glacier]

idk what that means

[trim schooner]

ah thx

[foggy sable]

dive basically trivialises wk if you use it for damage because if you get a hit for full damage on both of them it is 70 damage

more with shaman

[copper spruce]

Plastic model kits

[subtle glacier]

ahhh i see

yeah i never really engaged with akihabara unless someone i knew from overseas wanted to visit

other places in tokyo are really chill tho, i love roppongi and shibuya and shinjuku

super cool cityscape

[vernal knot]

How the fuck is WD so high

How is failed champion so high

How is NKG so high

damn

[copper spruce]

How am I so high

[wind garnet]

This is so fucked up bro

[heavy barn]

no way people like nkg?

what a shocker

[copper spruce]

NKG sucks

[vernal knot]

Yes

NKG isn't allat

I may start to hate NKG with how much it's glazed

It's actually insane

[heavy barn]

nkg is overglazed but that comes off as such a "look at me im different" take

[worn hamlet]

I kinda like nkg as one of my top 5 bosses ;-;

[median marten]

nkg is so tuff

[worn hamlet]

umm

what's wrong with nkg?

[foggy sable]

it really is

[wind garnet]

Pv is tuff too

[vernal knot]

Am I meant to care

[foggy sable]

it makes fireball almost useless

[worn hamlet]

agreedd

[vernal knot]

About it

[wind garnet]

I barely cleared attuned

[worn hamlet]

I love pv

[vernal knot]

I'm kind of a "I want to look different" guy

[copper spruce]

Ok

[heavy barn]

no?

[worn hamlet]

wha-

why?

[keen thorn]

Ok 🐈‍⬛

[wind garnet]

I wanted to get a super clean 04rpv with spell gameplay but it’s just inferior to dive spam

[foggy sable]

because dive wide shockwave is more damage

[worn hamlet]

and also that isn't the only case of that by a long shot ._.

the spells other than fireball kinda overshadow it a ton most of the time

[wind garnet]

Give you iframes and you can follow up slash immediately

Like bro

What were they thinking

[worn hamlet]

and don't even get me started on sbody+strength+pure nail+qslash

[keen thorn]

The trick with fireball is that it is quick

[wind garnet]

Yeah

[keen thorn]

It's meant to be a filler for damage windows that wouldn't exist otherwise

[worn hamlet]

that makes it fun to use but not optimal tho doesn't it

[worn hamlet]

ddark does that too

[heavy barn]

multihits are fun

[balmy cargo]

Hey I lit some kinda of furnace what does it do?

[copper spruce]

The trick with fireball is that it is a gun

[wind garnet]

And gives you full horizontal clearance too like you can chip out some stuff but is it worth the 33 soul prolly not

[worn hamlet]

true, but you can't multi-hit a lot of the time

[copper spruce]

So shoot them with the gun

[keen thorn]

It's not quick, it takes like double the time to cast

[wind garnet]

Red festival

[heavy barn]

it changes your world, maybe you should go visit sly for some upgrades

[keen thorn]

And it's less reliable to get a full ddark on bosses with Knockback than a double fireball

[worn hamlet]

making ddark better value-wise and fireball better fun-wise

[main crow]

It unlocks this thing in dirtmouth that’s pretty cool

[keen thorn]

Ddark tho
It's ddark

[worn hamlet]

that's when you're going for multi-hits

we were referencing fireball in relation to nkg originally

[keen thorn]

And that's the most optimal and fun way

[worn hamlet]

apparently nkg makes fireball useless

[keen thorn]

Well nkdg has like

2 spell windows

And puff

[main crow]

I’m doing rad nosk and I don’t like it

[heavy barn]

i guess you could spam it during pufferfish if you wanted t o

[worn hamlet]

ook... so how does that make it a bad boss

[subtle glacier]

suscar

genir

[keen thorn]

You can dive the dive and wraiths the pillars

And that's about it

[wind garnet]

You could line up a multi hit in his dive down then horizontal dash attack

[real otter]

go back to dirtmouth

[keen thorn]

If you want to be optimal you can fireball bats with animation cancels

[wind garnet]

But it takes wayy too much practice to pull that off

[keen thorn]

Since yes it's quicker than dive

[wind garnet]

And shaman

[keen thorn]

But like, ehhh

[worn hamlet]

I feel like im tryna engage in a conversation that everyone here completely forgot we were talking abt

;-;

[median marten]

lol

[keen thorn]

I didn't know anything about bad bosses

I just came here lol

[worn hamlet]

ppl said nkg was being overglazed and then proceeded to say it was a bad boss

[keen thorn]

And I want to defend fireball because it's cool

[worn hamlet]

I think

I might've imagined the bad boss part tbh

my brain hasn't rly been functioning today

[subtle glacier]

fireball yippee

[worn hamlet]

fair

[copper spruce]

Shriek

[worn hamlet]

shriek's just numbers go brrr

[keen thorn]

Lol

Least obvious rage bait

Bingy

[worn hamlet]

choom are you a bingy addict?

[median marten]

B b b b b Bingos you will get it done it tomorrow and then you will receive it tomorrow morning beautiful and you are not coming now to the field

[keen thorn]

Yes

[worn hamlet]

I see

[vivid creek]

His legal name is Choombingy

[main crow]

Did anyone else check what they needed to do next whether it’s a grub/charm/something else and feel an overwhelming sense of dread when they realized they had to go back to the deep(n)est darkest pits of hell to get said thing?

[subtle glacier]

bingy bingy bingy

[copper spruce]

Bing

[keen thorn]

B tier list Reddit post office hours of sleep and I don't think so but I don't think I have any questions

[worn hamlet]

[keen thorn]

Interesting autofill

[copper spruce]

Implode

[worn hamlet]

what'd you type to start it?

[keen thorn]

B

[subtle glacier]

B is a good thing for me because i have a lot of friends who are also in the same boat

[worn hamlet]

i see

[main crow]

I’m doing rad nosk rn and I’m not having fun

[worn hamlet]

do rad winged nosk instead tbh

[winter eagle]

hell yeah i finally got the screenshot

had to make a friend play it to get it though

[shrewd nymph]

Worse vfk

[worn hamlet]

*better

[shrewd nymph]

Vfk top 3 bosses

[keen thorn]

Real ones remember hello choom leg reveal

[worn hamlet]

hard disagree

vfk top 10 being insanely generous

[keen thorn]

Why did it not get cut...

[main crow]

I’m preparing for p5 by doing every boss I have available in hall of gods on ascended/radiant if I don’t rage and I don’t have winged nosk

[vestal sky]

true vfk is top 5 obviously

[nova hound]

remember him

[worn hamlet]

im realizing I don't know what the 5th boss in my list is rn

hmm

[vivid creek]

Screw vfk
We need armoured squit king to make Chomp happy

[vestal sky]

absolute oblobbles

[worn hamlet]

ahh

[heavy barn]

ultimatum crystal hunter

[worn hamlet]

soul tyrant would be my 5th boss in my top 5 (not in any order idk how I'd order my top 5)

when he does the 6 orbs on top and bottom going across the screen

[vestal sky]

nightmare king tiktik

[shrewd nymph]

Soul tyrants potential

[worn hamlet]

getting 5 hits on that attack is the most satisfying thing in the world

[nova hound]

soul tyrant my babygirl

[worn hamlet]

nosk time

[keen thorn]

Tyrant is the goat

[worn hamlet]

that was quick

absolutely melted by fireball

oh wow I only need 2 more pale ore for pure nail

I wonder how much geo I need

like 5k

oh wait one of them is an essence reward I have enough for

that's free

so the only one left is grub pale ore

[nova hound]

i forgive you soul master

[worn hamlet]

y do u forgive soul master

didn't he torture his people to attain immortality

[willow flame]

YES

FINALLY BEAT FUCKING RADIANCE

[worn hamlet]

noice

[vestal sky]

damn when did they add the fucking radiance i only know of absolute radiance

[willow flame]

haha good one steve jobles

[spiral vault]

Hohoho!

[worn hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/brooke-one-piece-brooke-spin-brooke-one-piece-brooke-joy-gif-16617681466576271090

[dull radish]

finally beat the first soul warrior

cant wait to have to beat one that spawns follies every 5 seconds and has double the hp

[worn hamlet]

I don't need to talk to zote for him to get out of deepnest right

just cutting him out of the webs is required?

[dull radish]

honestly

after our first run just leave zote to die

[worn hamlet]

yup that's soul warrior 2 tbh

[worn hamlet]

nah I need my p5 gpz :D

[dull radish]

o

the fact that the first soul warrior has less hp than hornet protector is crazy

[worn hamlet]

not really

[dull radish]

dang

[worn hamlet]

hornet protector is a boss whose relevance is equal or greater compared to soul master

soul warrior is just a miniboss on the way to soul master with absolutely no lore or story significance

[dull radish]

ik

its just it took only like 20 tries to beat hornet

[spiral vault]

Only

[dull radish]

soul warrior took me days

[worn hamlet]

for hk 20 is a tiny amount of attempts

[worn hamlet]

nearly every boss in the game on my first playthrough took me at least a day

there were very very few that took less than a full session of gaming

[spiral vault]

https://tenor.com/view/shocking-shocked-sarcasm-emoji-reaction-gif-14712663263517681978

[dull radish]

hornet took like 2 hours tops

[worn hamlet]

iirc like 50 or 70 attempts

for me

[spiral vault]

Batman would not get this info out of me

[worn hamlet]

was a long ahh time ago tho so it might've been way less or more tbh

[worn hamlet]

lol

[proud haven]

Heroic

It def took me more than 15

But def not 70

[dull radish]

bro i beat false knight in like 2 attempts

[solar owl]

Even zote?

[dull radish]

gruz mother took like 20

[spiral vault]

If I ever got to 70 attempts on a boss I think I'd just reassess my ability to play games

[worn hamlet]

false knight took me somewhere close to 50

[spiral vault]

Me during silksong

[worn hamlet]

that's a gag boss doesn't count

[spiral vault]

Wow

[dull radish]

bro im naturally trash at games

[worn hamlet]

lolll

[spiral vault]

Good thing you're good at hk now right

[solar owl]

Fair point

[worn hamlet]

silksong bosses took me like 15 attempts absolute max

hk's bosses just took me so many bc it was my first hard game

[spiral vault]

U bullshitting

[worn hamlet]

other than that I've only rly played mario games

[dull radish]

i wanna beat hk before i play silksong

[worn hamlet]

the fire dude is taking me a bit more

but that's the only one

radhog and p5 changed me ._.

[solar owl]

Which fire dude?

[worn hamlet]

the tree one

[spiral vault]

Actually that's valid theres only 2 bosses in ss that took me multiple days

[shrewd nymph]

Oh that lad

[solar owl]

Ah I see

[worn hamlet]

lol

[worn hamlet]

ye the inability to heal is kinda getting me ngl

I was really good on the other bosses at abusing the ability to heal midair

that helped a ton

[solar owl]

What crest you using?

[worn hamlet]

||hunter||

[spiral vault]

Silksong has me thinking it's the best game ever and the worst game ever during a session

[glossy python]

the HK enemy rando experince.

[worn hamlet]

I hate all the other crests except ||beast||, but parkour is kinda annoying with it so I don't usually feel like using it

[worn hamlet]

FR

[worn hamlet]

;-;

[solar owl]

https://tenor.com/view/the-radiance-hollow-knight-pale-king-watch-your-tone-watch-your-tone-mf-gif-25105189

[worn hamlet]

btw does enemy rando include bosses?

[glossy python]

if you have them on then yes

[worn hamlet]

interesting

[spiral vault]

Game has so many.moments where I feel like its just giving me the middle finger for no reason

[glossy python]

i had hornet 2 in the mound once

that was insane

[worn hamlet]

does that mean a vengefly could be pv and vice versa?

[glossy python]

pretty sure PV isnt an option

[worn hamlet]

what abt nkg

[glossy python]

Oh yeah

I had a venus flytrap become nkg once

[worn hamlet]

oh that's amazing

[glossy python]

so glad i wasnt using consistant transformations at the time

[solar owl]

Image getting to the radiance and it’s just a tiktik

[worn hamlet]

does that mean bosses can turn into vengeflies?

[glossy python]

radiance cant randomoze

BUT ENEMIES CAN BECOME RADIANCE

[solar owl]

Aww darn

[worn hamlet]

ik that's the funniest thing ever

wait

that's so unfair what

[glossy python]

mhm

[worn hamlet]

if enemies can be radiance radiance should be able to become vengeflies

[glossy python]

also its ABSOLUTE radiance. not normal

[worn hamlet]

wha-

regular radiance is replaced with absrad?

[solar owl]

Oh dear god

[glossy python]

its never happened to me, i havent done many enemy randos

cause its so glitchy

[worn hamlet]

so it's a possibility?

[glossy python]

it took me forever to figure the settings out

[worn hamlet]

regular radiance can just be absrad?

[worn hamlet]

I see

[glossy python]

radiance isnt randod

[worn hamlet]

oh

sadge

[glossy python]

but enemies can be replaced by absrad

[worn hamlet]

damn

that's super unfair

[glossy python]

Just wait until you enter the mound and every baulder is a lost kin

[worn hamlet]

but lost kin can be a vengefly right?

[glossy python]

thats kinda the whole point to an enemy rando

its not fair

[worn hamlet]

I thought the whole point was that it's just gambling

[deft willow]

this is me after path of pain

[glossy python]

no

that would be a normal rando

[worn hamlet]

oh

[glossy python]

the whole point of randomizing enemies on top of a rando is so itrs actually hard

and not just a scavenger hunt

[worn hamlet]

I see

[heavy barn]

didn't you send this like na hour ago

[deft willow]

it was a before and after

[heavy barn]

oh

im dumb

[proud haven]

If that were the true purpose I say they ought to make them all absolute radiance

I think the purpose is cuz it's cool and fun

[glossy python]

Then its basically impossible

[proud haven]

I did it blindfolded hitless

Without upgrades

[glossy python]

Sure buddy

[shrewd nymph]

I can vouch

[proud haven]

^^

[heavy barn]

i can also vouch

[proud haven]

See

[keen thorn]

Yeah I was there

I was a random pure vessel that appeared in kings pass

[heavy barn]

I was also a random pure vessel that appeared in kings pass

my favorite rando experience was when 2 watchers decided to be thk and pv simultaneously and i somehow won

[proud haven]

Sounds so easy

Pah!

[heavy barn]

honestly it was

if something is undodgeable you just facetank on thk

[wary hound]

lets goo did my first ever speed run

[zealous skiff]

@foggy sable you didnt see that ok

[foggy sable]

what did I miss?

was it marmu related, it usually is

you do ab absrad much more aggressively than I do

[zealous skiff]

no just dumb ab absradrad hit

in practice

i wanna do 10x ab hog but my absrad pb is 3 😭

[foggy sable]

I did 4x and haven't tried more in about 2 months

I'm so bad now

you don't do the cool final phase it's so over

[zealous skiff]

whats the cool final?

is it some weird dash slash bs

[foggy sable]

dash slash based

very consistent, insanely so

[zealous skiff]

idk how to do it 😭

i might learn it cus lowkey i suck at final

icbf now tho

[zealous skiff]

hoepfuly your day ends up better than that

[foggy sable]

[zealous skiff]

gl class

[summer nacelle]

i wonder if anyone's gonna get the reference

[vivid creek]

Uumuu sucks, rip r5^2

[foggy sable]

then didn't do much until I started doing p5 overcharmed

then just went into r5 so couldn't tell you honestly

[ancient ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/ace-attorney-phoenix-wright-objection-capcom-gif-20965907

[summer nacelle]

isn't this basically shell binding

[foggy sable]

well I did p5 overcharmed+shell binding

[summer nacelle]

why do hk players torture themselves

[naive dew]

Yea kinda sucks

Is what it is tho

[foggy sable]

overcharmed is also harder because lifeblood is less good and healing is worse

[wind finch]

https://youtube.com/shorts/FQJ51DsrB3c?si=nhPMot962YzbGObf

[summer nacelle]

but 5 hits instead of 4 😮

[foggy sable]

5 lifeblood per bench

[zealous skiff]

ab biuugsdfugdsauidgsaoudashiopdasip

[naive dew]

3h>0h

[foggy sable]

hm I see

[ancient ravine]

i don't get lifeblood things in p5

do yk y?

[foggy sable]

you need to do bindings in p1-4 then open the lifeblood room next to hall of gods

dreamnail the thing in there and you should have blue hp in p5

[vivid creek]

I think Chomp's having a p5-induced stroke

[ancient ravine]

ok forget abt it

[zealous skiff]

its interesting how soul master does 0 fakes in like 5 minutes of phase 2 practice but does like 5 in a row rn

[foggy sable]

he knows

[zealous skiff]

im going to get hit to amrmu again

[foggy sable]

Custom Knight

This is the mod for reskinning things in the game

Resources

• Skin List by ColetteMSLP
  • ‎sᴋɪɴs ɴᴏᴛ ʏᴇᴛ ᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪsᴛ
• Skin Repository by Tadeas Jun
• Video Tutorial 🎦 by fireb0rn
• [How to use Enemy/Boss Skins](#modding-discussion message)
• Guide to Creating a Skin by HBKit

Common issues

• If the Skin List is covering up other mods, you can toggle it with Del or Fn+Del. You can edit this Keybind in the Custom Knight menu.
• If your skin doesn’t show up in the menu, ensure that you extracted it from the zip/rar/etc it came in (tutorial: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1207486627124093019/1403869873192571024/i.png).
• If your skin doesn’t work, go to Options > Mods > Custom Knight > Advanced > Fix My Skins. After this you may need to click Reload in the previous menu.
  • Upgraded Dream Shield (UDS) breaks Custom Knight’s first launch. To use both mods at once: disable UDS, open a save with only Custom Knight and wait until it stops lagging. You can then close the game and enable UDS again.
• If you see White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to apply skins in a small room like a stag station.
• Ensure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu when your save file is loaded. Skins applied from the Main Menu only affect new files.

Troubleshooting

If your problem isn't fixed from the Common Issues section, create a post in #1057825333841240104
You must include a screenshot that shows:

r5 marmoment

[balmy cargo]

How hard is the soul master?

[wind finch]

0/10

[foggy sable]

it depends tbh

[balmy cargo]

What should I use?

[crisp vortex]

Shaman stone

[balmy cargo]

For soul master

[foggy sable]

honestly if you haven't fought it quick focus, soul catcher, long nail

nooooo tragic

[zealous skiff]

ok i gtg

[foggy sable]

gg on attempts

[zealous skiff]

idk why im so mindblocked in r5 now, I literally used to pass all the bosses im getting hit to now 90% of the time

its like ive been reset 100 hours

[balmy cargo]

Don't have enough notches

[foggy sable]

going back to it after ab does that

[zealous skiff]

maybe i stick to skong now

[foggy sable]

2 for catcher, 2 for long nail, 3 for qf

[zealous skiff]

did r5 while i was good at hk, now im dogshit i just let it be

[foggy sable]

if you wanted to reclear it would be much faster

but reclearing the first time isn't easy

[zealous skiff]

idk i used to be able to get to p4 like every 3 att

[balmy cargo]

Where's the colosseum of fools at?

[foggy sable]

and also you've been doing different strats in ab and 04r

so coming back to it is different

[foggy sable]

top of kingdoms edge

[balmy cargo]

Where's that?

[foggy sable]

right of city

[balmy cargo]

Of tears?

[foggy sable]

yes

[balmy cargo]

K

[foggy sable]

it is a lategame challenge though

[balmy cargo]

Hold up do I have to go through the watcher knights for it?

[foggy sable]

no but it is harder than watcher knights

[teal kernel]

Hello there im new here

[balmy cargo]

Anyways ima kill soul master to get desolate dive

[red gale]

Hii and welcome

[teal kernel]

quick question, what charm loadout any of you used in Pantheon 4

[foggy sable]

do you want a more optimal one or the one I used the first time?

[teal kernel]

optimal please, thank you

[foggy sable]

and if option 1 do you use spells

[teal kernel]

i mostly dont

[foggy sable]

pick strength, quickslash, mark of pride, and soul catcher

swap mark of pride for quick focus if you don't need the range

[teal kernel]

thanks a lot

[foggy sable]

<@&283547423706447872>

[foggy sable]

[neon apex]

HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE BRO

I died while Pure Vessel's death anim

On Radiant

😭

[foggy sable]

that can certainly happen

in one of 2 attacks

[balmy cargo]

Is this soul masters arena?

[foggy sable]

maybe 3

[foggy sable]

yes

[neon apex]

My shade soul hit the final blow after the Soul Pillars hit me

💔

[foggy sable]

I see

it can also happen with the focus attack and dagger throw

[neon apex]

Focus attack is easy to dodge

Dagger attack sometimes have questionable hitboxes

[foggy sable]

weirdly I'd say focus is harder than pillars if you get distracted by the death animation

[neon apex]

No like

I shot a Shade soul

And right before it hit

I got killed

[foggy sable]

ohh so not like PV dies then the attack hits you

[neon apex]

I was doing Pure Vessel for 2 hours straight for this

[neon apex]

Ye

[heady shadow]

Mines just Unb heart, Unb strength, Mark of pride and Quick slash

[heady shadow]

Yeah

Wait, quick question. Why does Pure vessel's Focus attack an offensive one? Aren't they the same species as the knight?

[neon apex]

Offensive one

It summons circle that deal dmg after a while and than disappear

It doesn't heals PV (i think)

If it do Heal, it's barely noticeable

[heady shadow]

Nah, I was asking why is pure vessel's focus attack an offensive one. The knight totally doesn't do that

[neon apex]

But it probably doesn't heal pv

[neon apex]

PV is raised as a weapon

They probably learned a different type of focus

[heady shadow]

Seems fitting

[balmy cargo]

WHY IS SOUL MASTER SPAMMING THE PROJECTILES AT ME EVERY TIME

[crisp vortex]

Just dodge broski

[balmy cargo]

I am but then he does the slam attack which he fakes then does

[calm charm]

yea but he fakes

and it’s predictable

u just learn the pattern and its an easy dub

he’s one of the easier bosses imo

[balmy cargo]

For someone with good prediction that is

[vapid moth]

its very ez doe

[crisp vortex]

Dash first and if he fakes dash and then jump

[calm charm]

u don’t need crazy good prediction his attacks are the same each time just in random orders

[crisp vortex]

Isn’t soul master the easier version too?

[calm charm]

yeah

soul tyrant is the rematch

[crisp vortex]

Oh yea I use to struggle on tyrant

[calm charm]

ngl I struggled on soul warrior a lot more than soul master first time on hk

[crisp vortex]

Damn bruh

[calm charm]

idek how

but multi tasking

dodging the little ghosts

killed me

[crisp vortex]

I just thought he was annoying as hell

[calm charm]

inside

[crisp vortex]

Fake boss too

[calm charm]

yeah

got me to waste 40mins smh

[crisp vortex]

No shot

[vapid moth]

wait till u get to soul tyrant tho

[calm charm]

soul tyrant I beat in like 3 tries first time around

just had to memorise the pattern

soul master took me 4 tries first time

[crisp vortex]

Took me like 10 prolly

[vapid moth]

soul master pissed me off

[calm charm]

hk was my first 2D in ages asw so I was pretty happy

took me a while to get used to the mechanics of the game

[brittle crystal]

When does sly restock I bought everything he got I need him to restock so I can get elegant key

[crisp vortex]

He doesn’t restock

Does he?

[calm charm]

He has two phases

one is early shop

then u find his shop key

and u get better stuff

[brittle crystal]

How do I get the other

Shop

[calm charm]

find his key

or smt

[foggy sable]

Yep

[brittle crystal]

Where

[foggy sable]

Crystal peaks

[calm charm]

just explore and you’ll find it

[crisp vortex]

Search it up

[calm charm]

that’s the fun part of the game

[brittle crystal]

God damit

[calm charm]

u haven’t done it?

bro crystal peaks is annoying ik but the dash is so nice

worth it

[crisp vortex]

U kinda need it

[calm charm]

and deep focus quick focus idek why was life saving

[calm charm]

yeah lmao

[calm charm]

this got me cheesing so many bosses

[heady shadow]

Especially those crystal flies(idk the name)

[calm charm]

yeah

but if u get on top

pogo = easy kills

they literally can’t do anything about it

[crisp vortex]

I hated the hive

[calm charm]

Hive was fun

[heady shadow]

I liked the hive

[calm charm]

Hive knight was too easy

[crisp vortex]

I liked deep nest more than it

[calm charm]

I beat it first try

deep nest I hated

so much

[heady shadow]

Psycho

[crisp vortex]

I somehow struggled on hive knight

[calm charm]

the flipping double damage bug

was

so

annoying

[heady shadow]

I got jumpscared by a foreground spider

[crisp vortex]

He only got easy for me in p5

[calm charm]

lmao same

[calm charm]

💀

[heady shadow]

That shing shing one when you attack it?

[calm charm]

Istg ts was harder than false knight rematch

[calm charm]

yeah

so flipping annoying man

[heady shadow]

Failed champion took me longer than other dream bosses

[calm charm]

oh I kinda cheesed it

[heady shadow]

Even with the cheese lol

[crisp vortex]

I just beat him after I maxed my nail

[calm charm]

stun lock soul spam

[crisp vortex]

How’s u cheese him

Oh

[heady shadow]

U can hit hom infinitely if staggered

Only the shell tho

[calm charm]

with dream nail

[crisp vortex]

Oh yea I didn’t think that was cheese though

[heady shadow]

Last stagger, or the 3rd one is infinite

[crisp vortex]

I cheesed white defender

[heady shadow]

How though

I mostly stay at the corners

[crisp vortex]

When he curls up and bounces around

Just kept him up

[vocal crypt]

I wonder why there are no hollow knight fan-themes

[heady shadow]

Wdym

[heady shadow]

I find that hard to do

[crisp vortex]

Yea u need good timing I think

[heady shadow]

Or then he just ground pounds and now the floor is littered with spiked shi

[vocal crypt]

I've never seen fan-themes in the community for some reason, Or composers/musicians that reside in the community

[crisp vortex]

Not if u kept him in the air

[heady shadow]

Seems odd

[calm charm]

and gain back ur soul

when u max soul and healed, spam spells till he gets stunned again

and repeat

[balmy cargo]

Uhh some how I dodged from falling

[heady shadow]

Yeah, I abyss shriek him 3x times

[calm charm]

wtf

[heady shadow]

U can't get dive spell

Jump in

[calm charm]

I have genuinely never seen that before

[heady shadow]

It's possible

[calm charm]

but yeah u gotta go down there for the dive spell

[true ravine]

Yes

Good luck, soldier

[heady shadow]

And get slammed by soul master the 2nd time

[calm charm]

lmao

yea it caught me off guard

When I finally thought it was finished

[balmy cargo]

What's down there - knight

[calm charm]

ngl nkg was my proudest moment

[vocal crypt]

There's like a single playlist of fanmade silksong songs but there's no ACTUAL basegame hollow knight fansong/fantheme, and there's like a singular short of pablo

[calm charm]

utter demise

[true ravine]

Pure vessel is a little more fun imo

[calm charm]

def

[balmy cargo]

Bro I am 3 masks from dying

[heady shadow]

NKG my first radiant ngl

Because he's that fun

[vocal crypt]

https://youtu.be/lfZpuIa-5fM?si=-JyEzLZQu-69LZaO

[calm charm]

u can heal when he does the 4 missile roll thing if u jump it early

[heady shadow]

Dash when he pounds you

[true ravine]

Bro is driving in his car drugged the f up

[vocal crypt]

That meme died at birth
Shut up abt it
