[plush zodiac]

does the inventory pause prevent heavy fall stop

[coarse lagoon]

Huge news for the unemployed

[fiery trench]

LETS GO!!!!

[mild sorrel]

Do you have any idea how fucked i was getting by gpz's stagger in rab

[calm trellis]

they said fixing bugs not fixing worms

[lilac talon]

THE CROWD GOES WILD

[fiery trench]

now u use map ig

[lilac talon]

LMAO

[keen thorn]

I can't believe we're at a point we're an update is not exciting but scary

[fiery trench]

-# wait why was I hyped for this. I'm too ass to use either

[earnest apex]

@fiery trench

[fiery trench]

well how long has it been since the previous update

[fiery trench]

Hello Jollynite

[earnest apex]

doin' well?

[worn hatch]

Wait hk is getting an update??

[mental basin]

I'm more worried about mods not working because of deprecation

[keen thorn]

The last true update like 3 years or something

[fiery trench]

2/7 finals complete
hardest ones are on Wednesday

[earnest apex]

[maiden meteor]

Ok but like this new artwork is awesome too

[keen thorn]

Dw modders will get to it immediately, but it's a minor version I wouldn't be too worried

[calm trellis]

i tried to load it up with my mods that i use when playing with a friend and it didnt load up

[keen thorn]

Well it is a beta

[calm trellis]

yeah

[mental basin]

they probably just need to update some stuff but I hope it doesn't break every mod

[maiden meteor]

Literally an updated version of the switch home menu art

[calm trellis]

but having salubra not going "hoohoohoohoooohooohooohoooohoohoohohooo"

[magic storm]

Console finally getting 1.5 update is huge

1.4 latency sucks

[fiery trench]

still looks cool, still want it
still too broke to actually afford that console Nintendo what the fuc

[keen thorn]

This is true

Consoles staying in 1.4 was criminal

[civic cliff]

random question

what do you guys consider to be the hardest hollow knight boss from the base game?

[spiral vault]

Lowk failed champ or hornet 2

[civic cliff]

ones that don’t count are grey prince zote, absolute radiance, grimm, pure vessel, white defender, etc

[quick cave]

I beat radiant false knight with flukenest strength mark of pride and grubberfly's elegy

[onyx wigeon]

Hk fans when the game gets an update vs Hk fans when the game doesn't get an update

[fiery trench]

when u mean base game u mean vanilla right?

[spiral vault]

Oh

[onyx wigeon]

No

[civic cliff]

like before the content packs

[spiral vault]

Yeah I'd say failed champ

[smoky yarrow]

Ngl probably failed champ

[smoky yarrow]

Hornet 2 then

[civic cliff]

failed champion has a cheese

[spiral vault]

So

[onyx wigeon]

No

[fiery trench]

failed champ or Lost Kin ig? Idk its been a while since I fought any

[ionic locust]

what

[civic cliff]

tru

[rare nest]

Silksong dlc and new Megaman game both coming soon what world are we living in

[quick cave]

Like flukenest strength mark of pride and elegy?

[spiral vault]

I'm not ass so I never used a cheese 😈

[stuck zinc]

Radiance

[civic cliff]

when he falls down then dream nail, pogo, heal, pogo, dream nail, continue the cycle until you’re full on heal before hitting him with the nail and continuing to the next phase

[ionic locust]

Nkg

[onyx wigeon]

that's not cheese that's like
Food

[stuck zinc]

That's not base game

[spiral vault]

Base rad isn't too bad

[fiery trench]

prior to expansion packs cro

[smoky yarrow]

That's not a cheese that's just common knowledge

[civic cliff]

its a cheese that’s common knowledge then ig

[stuck zinc]

ehhh, I feel like that's definitely seven years of getting used to it talking there.

[onyx wigeon]

you are cheese

[fiery trench]

thank god discord has a edit message feature
the sheer amount of "*"'s I'd use

[civic cliff]

feels weird with it radiance not even being in the top 3

[calm trellis]

wait wait wait NO- 🧀

[fiery trench]

I did not know this until last week

[spiral vault]

Not too hard not too easy

Definitely never had any trouble tho

[civic cliff]

it took me a while to beat radiance

[onyx wigeon]

NKG is boring

[smoky yarrow]

How?

[stuck zinc]

say it with me folks

"Bait used to be ..."

[fiery trench]

ask sk discussion cro
I havent played skong in like a month

[fiery trench]

Bait used to be believable

[onyx wigeon]

he does like one thing then you do platforming then hit him three times then wait

[stuck zinc]

Why the hell do I keep ending up in the hollow night section? Discord what the hell are you doing?

I'm going insane

[civic cliff]

used to be what

[smoky yarrow]

Oh I thought we were talking abt inferno king Grimm for some reason

[signal fable]

oh no, the silksanity reached the discord server

[civic cliff]

o yea i remember

[fiery trench]

[quick cave]

Path of pain my beloved

COME AT ME

[signal fable]

sorry, i wasn't around all this time on the discord, i lurked mostly, was brought here because of the new annoucement

[onyx wigeon]

[fiery trench]

[fiery trench]

[nova hound]

NINTENDO TAKING L AFTER L

[ebon pelican]

[quick cave]

Smash a weaver (like that ya sicko)

[ebon pelican]

gruzmother fly things

[ebon pelican]

inventory pauses 💔

[fiery trench]

first room on the path to mawlek

[smoky yarrow]

Let's go I hated the sound of it

[fiery trench]

its full map drop time!

double tap the map button in quick succession to save time

[quick cave]

Anyways ima go to deepnest

[fiery trench]

wait wha?

[quick cave]

Ive been arrested

[fiery trench]

While I was gonna ask if u can u at least spare my grub mimic and corpse crawler brethren but that works

[smoky yarrow]

Markoth 10/10 easiest boss ever

[fiery trench]

lets agree to disagree

[quick cave]

I was freed my my fav weaver

[finite ember]

wait wtf they made skong expansion trailer and I'm still suffering in p5

💔

[smoky yarrow]

Yep

[finite ember]

looks like I'm doomed to play skong only next year

[fiery trench]

u got time

[finite ember]

yeah

[fiery trench]

time being like 3 weeks but time nonetheless

[finite ember]

well, I'm back to doing important stuff

see ya

[woven mirage]

removing inventory drops is crazy

[fiery trench]

just use map drops

[carmine lava]

can’t believe this image is no longer relevant

this hitbox wasn’t even really a problem anyways honestly it’s just dumb if you look at it

[fiery trench]

wait the FUCK?

I knew the hitbox was whack but like huh? what?

[vivid creek]

Getting hit by that when near the top of the arena is pretty fun

[onyx wigeon]

cursed hitboxes

[brisk steppe]

Every three weeks someone says this and never elaborates I just don't get it

[carmine lava]

it looks bad but it’s not a big deal in reality

[fiery trench]

I mean I never got cheesed but its still hella stupid

just looks so wrong

[tulip narwhal]

Im already jolly

[tulip narwhal]

Has tc given any reasoning for why the hitbox was like this lol

[empty gulch]

Just radiant’d this bad boy

Pure vessel got nothing on me

[knotty ravine]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1330020298854240288/1450309665370931251/Hollow_Knight_-_2025-12-15_7-12-02_PM.mp4?ex=694211a1&is=6940c021&hm=24f19143826b6792bbf34a9df963bdc14f53ab9cb1f09e2c0316763a3793fdd6& ?????????

[uneven sundial]

Peak

[spiral vault]

Hollow knight

[fiery trench]

the beta's been out for what, a few hours

and we've already broken it

[unborn arrow]

WAIT, THERE'S GONNA BE A SWITCH 2 UPDATE?!

[desert pier]

you can really see the change here lmoa

[fiery trench]

it just bring it to what's basically current patch for pc

[fiery trench]

holy fuck, the amount of attempts of P3AB I've lost due to this bs

I might just go back to attempts. Maybe

[spiral vault]

What am I looking at here

[knotty ravine]

this patch is scuffed as fuck

[desert pier]

new gpz stagger vs old gpz stagger
old is much higher

[unborn arrow]

That's fine by me. The Nintendo Switch version is what I have been playing the OG on with Silksong being on the Switch 2.

[tulip narwhal]

The new one looks nicer to me

[fiery trench]

alr I gotta go. c'yall

[knotty ravine]

you know those uncanny videos where something that's supposed to happen doesnt. that's what this patch feels like

[desert pier]

it's a lot better since it doesn't go as high
don't need to be so careful when pogoing gpz anymore

[knotty ravine]

WHY arent we getting hit to this. that's fucked up

[pallid gate]

What the h3ll is that nightmare of a hitbox

[tulip narwhal]

Yeahh

[unborn arrow]

Mostly because I have these Mobapad Joy-Cons that feel so darn good to play with in handheld mode.

[tulip narwhal]

Can they patch out gpz empty hops next lol

[carmine lava]

can you send the new hitbox

[tulip narwhal]

Ive gotten hit to them twice on good r5 runs

[pallid gate]

Ah crap does this mean rhe hitbox mod doesnt work anymore

[tulip narwhal]

Js make the whole screen the hitbox

That would be so much better !!

[knotty ravine]

mods dont work

[carmine lava]

dang hk is unplayable right now that’s so sad

[desert pier]

well just don't install the beta

[full halo]

guys what does caterpillar do

[iron harness]

Eat grass

[spiral vault]

🎷 🐛

[iron harness]

That too

[iron harness]

Fr though the grubs you just find em and in the forgotten crossroads you can get rewards for finding them

In a specific room

[marsh torrent]

my fucking screenshot editor app wasnt in focus so instead of closing it i closed the game
i was on a good white palace run

[full halo]

alr thank u

[knotty ravine]

are any of yall noticing any of the other UNSPECIFIED changes that tc made becuase they fucking hate telling us anything

[tulip narwhal]

Its part of "various smaller fixes"

[solemn dirge]

How do you all feel about hollow knight switch 2?

[full halo]

is there a thing i should buy in early game?

[vivid creek]

Wait, hk got an update?

[onyx wigeon]

No

[solemn dirge]

Next year switch 2 gets free update cuz the team spoils us too much

[knotty ravine]

they shouldnt have done that

[solemn dirge]

Why not? Silksong got one. Why not hk?

[knotty ravine]

oh silksong shouldnt have either

[knotty bluff]

switch 2 sucks but i'm thankful for hk getting updated

[desert pier]

there’s a steam beta

[onyx wigeon]

they should charge 10 dollars for it

[carmine lava]

like what

[tulip fern]

guys am i dreaming??? theres gonna be silksong dlc before gta 6? :

[vivid creek]

huh
Never thought hk would get another update
Did flukenest get fixed?

[desert pier]

no idea

[knotty ravine]

IDK im asking cuz i dont fucking know

cuz tc doesnt tell us shit ever

[vivid creek]

Also this hitbox is lowkey way worse than the old one

[desert pier]

gpz stagger is much lower, sly hitbox fixed, no more inventory falling. i think those are the main gameplay changes

(that we know of)

[knotty bluff]

i noticed inventory bg got brightened as well as blurred

[iron harness]

Dude I’m so excited for these updates even though they’re decently far from now

Can’t play beta I don’t got steam

[zealous skiff]

WAIT IS THIS REAL?!?!?!

[iron harness]

Can anyone sent a video of the new mapping UI

[knotty ravine]

no

[vivid creek]

oh
I got jebaited

[knotty ravine]

overexaggerated hitbox

we dont know exact size yet

[solemn dirge]

Charging 10$ for hk upgrade pack would be fair but that would make one of the worser versions more expensive than pc

[tulip narwhal]

If it is then tc are on some wacky shit

[knotty ravine]

shits cursed tho wdym im not getting hit from that position anymore

[onyx wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/omw-to-spread-misinformation-all-over-the-internet-gif-26525511

[static charm]

what did i miss

[onyx wigeon]

information

[static charm]

why did i randomly get pinged earlier

[solemn dirge]

Silksong dlc and hk switch 2 announced for next year

[static charm]

Damn

shaw

[dense fjord]

I actually love that

[static charm]

WHAT

oh is this the switch 2 shi

[dense fjord]

It’s just a small update lmao

[static charm]

oh

[dense fjord]

@static charm

[pliant root]

hk better than silksong

[dense fjord]

And salubras blessing deactivates after reaching max soul

[knotty bluff]

the only difference is that the key is hidden by default

[static charm]

what is inventory falling

[pliant root]

speedrun tech

[dense fjord]

Opening inventory while midair to fall faster

[shrewd nymph]

Speedrun strat where you open your inventory as you're falling

[knotty bluff]

no fr it looks so much nicer

[pliant root]

patched a while ago i thought

[static charm]

????

[pliant root]

you drop instantly pretty much

[static charm]

Knight just opens his inventory and suddenly falls faster

[pliant root]

its a bug

[iron harness]

I meant moreso how it moves

[static charm]

Goofiest shit ever lmao

[dense fjord]

Btw Lune

[knotty bluff]

ohh gotcha i'm on it

[dense fjord]

My salubras blessing never showed salubra or made noises, it just increased my soul

Is this a common issue

[shrewd nymph]

Never heard of that before so dunno

Probably uncommon

[dense fjord]

Or actually it might be part of a Qol mod i have installed

[novel glacier]

Holy shitttttt

[dense fjord]

Im actually stupidLMAO

[dense fjord]

Jojos bizzare adventure mentioned?

[static charm]

damn

[novel glacier]

Yes yes yes yes

[knotty bluff]

feels a little faster

[static charm]

the new hk sw*tch 2 edition cover art is peak

[knotty bluff]

def qol

[novel glacier]

New dlc ss let’s gooooo

[dense fjord]

HELLYEAH im only up to part 3 lmao

[fossil saffron]

I just beat pantheon 5 for the first time :)

[iron harness]

Looks better

[shrewd nymph]

ggs

[iron harness]

Ik the HK has more of a choppy delay than the Silksong one

[knotty bluff]

it's definitely smoother

[iron harness]

So I’m hoping that’s how it feels

Like when you zoom in specifically

[fossil saffron]

thanks. I love this game

[dense fjord]

Im gonna practice markoth, pv, and nkg

Then attempt p5

[pliant root]

markoth is free tho

markoth is only hard hitless

[knotty bluff]

there's a stutter if you try to input right when you get into the map but other than that it feels about as smooth as silksong's map

[dense fjord]

Ik, im just bad at markoth lmao

Wait guys

[meager shoal]

hi chat

[dense fjord]

Should i try and beat p5 or should i make progress on getting all achievements

[pliant root]

what achievements r you missing

[fossil saffron]

if you beat p5 you do both

[pliant root]

i did p5 when i only had speedrun 2 left

[knotty bluff]

beating p5 would technically be making progress towards achievements

[true crater]

i hate the stupid p5 markoth gpz back to back bs

literal garbage game design

"oh they're gonna love fighting gpz on half health"

AAAA

[dense fjord]

Receive the hunters mark, speedrun achievements, steel soul achievements, p5, defeating thk without voidheart, killing nailsmith, and defeating nkg instead of banishing

[knotty bluff]

nkg is so fun

[dense fjord]

Can u tell i feel the same LMAO

[knotty bluff]

i did hitless pv for the first time the other day :D

[dense fjord]

Hmm i havent gotten the update yet

Im gonna refresh steam

[knotty bluff]

it's an opt in beta

[dense fjord]

Oh

How do u find that lmao

[dense fjord]

Hell yeah:D

[knotty bluff]

just set it to public beta in the properties/betas section and it works!!

[dense fjord]

Alr!! :D

YAAYY

[pliant root]

do steel soul

it helps your movement and just general skill tremendously

[knotty bluff]

enjoy!! from what i can personally tell it feels like sounds got rebalanced in the beta too, i can actually hear some things over others now lol

no fr steel soul is amazing for skill building

[coral marlin]

I once died to Markoth in P4 AB before beating it.

I genuinely wanted to Radiant him again out of spite.

[dense fjord]

Bet, i can also probably do the speedrun achievements

[pliant root]

its really fucking annoying

it took me like 2 hours to radiant him

[knotty bluff]

i died to markoth as he was dying in p4 the attempt before i beat it for the first time

[coral marlin]

Radiant Markoth, given I'd already done him before, I genuinely forgot I even did him

Like it just caught me so off guard, I did a double take

[pliant root]

radiant absrad took me like a half hour and radiant markoth took me 2 hours

[coral marlin]

That's actually kinda soul-crushing

[coral marlin]

How-

How the fuck-

Know what, not gonna question it.

You probably had one helluva Charm setup.

[knotty bluff]

desperately hoping geo physics get updated to match rosaries when the update launches .... i'm tired of losing money to room transitions and water lolol

[pliant root]

i have a lot of playtime in this game doing other random shit so im just good at absrad

[coral marlin]

Not to mention Gathering Swarm's orbital infinity

[dense fjord]

The radiant thats taken me the longest is hornet sentinel which took abt 20 mins
My hall of gods btw,

[coral marlin]

That's honestly based

[pliant root]

how did hornet take you longest 😭

[knotty bluff]

gs orbit getting fixed would mean ooma orbit getting fixed and that would suck for uumuu in godhome

[coral marlin]

Hornet Sentinel, right?

[pliant root]

hornet is like one of the easiest ones

[dense fjord]

Idk the others were just easier😭

[pliant root]

sentinel and defender are both easy

[dense fjord]

Traitor lord and white defender both took me only around 10 attempts

[coral marlin]

Sentinel is easy for some people, not everyone.

[pliant root]

ohh ig

[knotty bluff]

i did charmless nail only sentinel the other day to teach someone how to fight her lol

[pliant root]

i didnt check the image i thought you had beaten them all and thought sentinel was the hardest 😭

[coral marlin]

Sentinel is a very pressure-focused boss, requiring hella precision and focus. Can't just go in guns blazing, she WILL clock your ass

[dense fjord]

Collector only took me abt 10 attemots too actually

[pliant root]

thats why i was confused

[dense fjord]

Lmao nah

[pliant root]

radiant sentinel is probably around the same difficulty as like radiant nosk for me

nosk is just less fun

[coral marlin]

I fucking hate Collector because of P3 All Bindings. She's gotten to a point where she's honestly not that big of a problem, but the MOMENT I get to Zote-

[coral marlin]

....you confuse me. You greatly confuse me.

[pliant root]

im shit at nosk

[coral marlin]

Nosk is less fun, yeah-

[coral marlin]

Okay well that makes more sense then

[pliant root]

i was like a kid when i first played this game and i cheesed nosk

now im 17

[dense fjord]

Wait im doing the public beta rn

Did all my mods just dip lmao

[coral marlin]

Oh yeah, the mods aren't optimized for this version, huh

Lmao

Like they're just gone?

[dense fjord]

Tbh i only had Qol and randomiser mods installed

[dense fjord]

Yeah the option for them isnt in the menu

[coral marlin]

Oh damn

It might be a Steam location thing

[dense fjord]

And theyre all gone from the top left corner

[coral marlin]

Like switching versions might have screwed with it

[dense fjord]

When the update isnt in beta and gets fully released it might go back to normal

If not ill just uninstall and reinstall the mods from lumafly launcher and hope that fixes it lmao

[coral marlin]

I might just wait for the update to come to PS4 to play the open beta

I have it on Steam but I really don't wanna play on a small laptop with an awkward angle and a PS4 controller that barely stays connected via cord

[dense fjord]

Actually mods fucked with a lot of things

[true crater]

Lmaoooooo I feel u

[coral marlin]

Honestly not even sure how it would hold up Bluetooth-wise

[dense fjord]

Mainly making it so the hunters journal always started from the bottom

Which was super annoying

[true crater]

Like if I could just get past gpz I would be home free

Besides pv absrad ofc

[dense fjord]

Lmao i have a Bluetooth xbox controller that i use

Works greatly

Okay imma do steel soul and hopefully get the speedrun achievements too

Gonna grab milk first

[blissful portal]

Wait does this channel finally have slowmode

[coral marlin]

Good luck, mate

[blissful portal]

Hell yeah

[coral marlin]

I actually accidentally speedran both achievements when getting Pure Nail as fast as I could to kill the Nailsmith

[shrewd nymph]

Basically how it is besides absrad

[knotty bluff]

have you guys ever seen galien's weapon get stuck in the ceiling after he dies

[dense fjord]

Tysm im gonna make a semi decent route

[coral marlin]

Speedrunning HK is honestly like learning to fight a boss

It's hard when practicing, but it becomes 2nd nature eventually

At least for me

I'm hella impatient

[coral marlin]

Wh

I don't think so-

That's honestly really impressive

[knotty bluff]

i'm so curious what it got caught on there but i didn't have hitbox mod installed when it happened

[coral marlin]

Probably a frame-perfect kill to lodge the handle in there

[knotty bluff]

no literally i wonder if it's something i can even replicate

[obtuse brook]

Hollow Knight will have a free upgrade for Switch 2, and Mojang still hasn't released an upgrade for Minecraft on Switch 2. Team Cherry >>> Mojang

[knotty bluff]

probably unrealistic but i hope tc drops a proper soulslike where you get to play as thk

i think that'd be a really cool concept

[fresh isle]

what is a "proper soulslike"

[coral marlin]

The easiest Souls-like game
The hardest Hollow Knight game

[solemn quarry]

Im still waiting for quirrel's quest

[fresh isle]

i didnt think soulslike had a definition other than like being similar to dark souls in anyway and/or just being difficult

hi pythno

[knotty bluff]

i'm bad with words let me think of what i mean

[vale condor]

a dark souls game released by fromsoft 🐑

[coral marlin]

Like a more apocalyptic type of game?

[fresh isle]

dark hollow knight souls: hollow knight 3

made by fromsoft

[vale condor]

hi eloki

[solemn quarry]

QUIRREL'S QUEST!!!!

[vale condor]

wait sorry ping

[fresh isle]

i MIGHT forgive u

ill think about it,,,

[vale condor]

🙏

[coral marlin]

The sequel to the THK game

Prequel to HK

[knotty bluff]

not necessarily? the best way i can think to put it is something where like. attacks are much heavier hitting and you need to time them based on windup

hollow knight if you had to play it like you're swinging around a big ass weapon

[coral marlin]

No yeah, that does sound like a Souls-like

[sweet jolt]

why id i shed a tear when i saw the dlc trailer

[median sky]

can you still get achievements in the public beta

[knotty bluff]

i can also just visualize thk sitting at a campfire prepping for a boss lmfao

[coral marlin]

Can't wait until 2028 when I can finally Radiant Divine Mother Silk

[coral marlin]

Lmaooo

You need Smithing Stones to upgrade your nail

[coral marlin]

And you can add enchantments to it like fire and ice and shit

[knotty bluff]

nail damage mechanic where it can get chipped after a while and you have to find a whetstone or smth

[coral marlin]

Temporary enchantments

[knotty bluff]

soul runes

[coral marlin]

Would healing be the same?

[knotty bluff]

also thk's super slow windup high punish on success heal would be so interesting to play with

[coral marlin]

Same as HK I mean

HK or Silksong

[final dock]

Healing makes you stab yourself

[coral marlin]

"Ah, I've sustained a bit of damage. No matter..."

distant screams of agony

[final dock]

[celest nacelle]

Is it just me or are all bossss in godhome slightly faster than their story mode versions

[coral marlin]

Oh no, 100% they are

[celest nacelle]

Like 5-15% faster

[obtuse brook]

Chat, which is more likely?
Team Cherry releasing a new game before 2040 or Nintendo releasing the Mario Kart World soundtrack on the Nintendo Music app?

[celest nacelle]

Oh

[coral marlin]

It's to make sure they aren't complete pushovers for your end-game setups

[knotty bluff]

multiple masks like silksong, but an animation even slower than hk
the soul bursts that follow after would make up for the time it takes, but at the same time it'd be extremely high risk

[coral marlin]

Team Cherry

[knotty bluff]

rip the message reply got taken off

[celest nacelle]

I noticed that with NKG first but then I replayed other bosses and that's when I realised

[knotty bluff]

they also have a little more health to compensate for late game equipment

[coral marlin]

Slow as hell, but 5 masks per heal

[knotty bluff]

yeah exactly

[coral marlin]

1 mask in HK
3 in Silksong
5 in THK

Max mask count should be 11 to follow the 1 mask trend

[obtuse brook]

Team Cherry is spying on me and I didn't know it

[coral marlin]

That was almost 2 months ago, bro predicted it

[obtuse brook]

Yes 🔥

[coral marlin]

What if THK can stab himself for a damage buff

[elder turtle]

How long since been when hollow knight updated

[knotty bluff]

i can't really see them stabbing themself in any scenario but literally trying to kill themself to prevent the radiance from escaping

[obtuse brook]

[hollow dragon]

small patch came out today or yesterday (i forgor)

[coral marlin]

Okay fine

[thorny hill]

Iirc, the are stabbing them self to be more infected to be even more powerful, however, we see that obviously not work

[coral marlin]

The stabbing was to help the Knight defeat them and take over the role as The Hollow Knight

[knotty bluff]

that doesn't make much sense to me because otherwise the knight would also be buffing the infection by trying to fight them

[hollow dragon]

no they are using their lucid moments trying to help their sibling kill it

[coral marlin]

Wait hang on

Alternative universe where the Godhome ending is canon

[sharp falcon]

I think I'm going to hate Willian Pelan in the new DLC.

[coral marlin]

The game takes place in the outer regions after THK was freed from his prison

[knotty bluff]

i don't understand how anyone can see the vessels as actually hollow 😭 thk stabbing itself disproves it alone

[sharp falcon]

good guess

[hollow dragon]

the general consensus seems to be that Godhome is canon but I think that all of them are equally canon as stated by TC

[coral marlin]

THK gained a mind to think, and that is what allowed the infection to take him

[knotty bluff]

that was said before godhome dropped!! it's as good as retconned now lolol

[coral marlin]

Well, considering the True Ending of Silksong gave us a flash of the Void Lord, it's safe to say it was actually Godhome

[sharp falcon]

Still, a canonical ending with radiance

[coral marlin]

Void Lord = the Eldritch horror-ass form of the Knight instead of just his shade

[knotty bluff]

i think less so gained and moreso that none of the vessels were hollow to begin with, either pk overestimated the mental side effects of void or he foresaw ghost's ascension from the beginning

i personally don't think it's the latter considering the state hallownest is in by the time the game takes place

[coral marlin]

Pale King killed thousands of children because they decided to pull the lever

A true hollow vessel would let the five bugs die

[sharp falcon]

In God Home, the knight merges with the dark lord, but we were shown a little knight.

[coral marlin]

Nonono, Silksong gives us a flash of the Void Lord for only a moment when Hornet meets him

[knotty bluff]

it's both!! it flashes between, i have screenshots from my own playthrough

[coral marlin]

Then it's back to his Shade Forme

[knotty bluff]

i have my entire first lost lace win recorded lolol

[sharp falcon]

what are you talking about?

[coral marlin]

Like it's honestly a chilling moment when seen for the first time

[coral marlin]

I'm making a joke about the other vessels not being truly Hollow

Like having emotions or something

A mind to think

[thorny hill]

No ss spoilers here

[knotty bluff]

dw i'm not sending it

[coral marlin]

Probably shoulda thought about that-

[knotty bluff]

i didn't think saying the name would count 😭

[coral marlin]

That's my bad

[sharp falcon]

I don't think the void lord is canon, although anything is possible.

[knotty bluff]

.....it's literally shown though?

[coral marlin]

Even so, we just gotta wait until we can interview Team Cherry and hope they don't pull a Scott Cawthon on us

[sharp falcon]

Sorry for taking so long to write, I'm using a translator

[knotty bluff]

i am so mad about the fnaf 2 movie it was so cheeks

[coral marlin]

It's fine! Take your time

[knotty bluff]

did my makeup in cosplay for nothing lol

[coral marlin]

Bro's complaining about the FNAF Movie 2 in the Hollow Knight chat

Crazy

[knotty bluff]

tbf you mentioned scott cawthon

[coral marlin]

Ngl, that's fair

[sharp falcon]

let's hope

[knotty bluff]

autism's gonna autism i unfortunately partake in cringe

[coral marlin]

No that's valid

I can relate

[thorny hill]

Shade lord is cannon. If you dream nail the statue that gives shade cloak after getting void heart, it says "lord of shadows" or something similar, I can't remember at the moment

[sharp falcon]

He's a damn genius!

[hollow dragon]

"Lord of Shades"

[coral marlin]

Canon* and that was a discussion about Silksong's lore about HK's canon ending, not HK's direct lore

[hollow dragon]

also you need awoken dream nail, he's shielded from regular dream nail

[solid sinew]

Hi

[coral marlin]

GG dude, and lmao, background glitch

[solid sinew]

just ignore it lol

[knotty bluff]

that is insane

[thorny hill]

How long did that take?

[coral marlin]

Congrats all the same
Impressive

[solid sinew]

I think it was about 14 days.

[sharp falcon]

I was thinking that if the Shadow Lord blinks at the bottom of the screen when you receive living blood, and at the end they only showed the shadow of the Hollow Knight with radiance, then most likely yes

[solid sinew]

Thanks

[sharp falcon]

How did you beat Pantheon 5 on your phone?

[knotty bluff]

the creature in lifeblood core room is a different creature than the shade lord!! it's called something different in the files

[sharp falcon]

I don't believe you

[solid sinew]

Yes, but it wasn't on an iPhone.

[stone lagoon]

guys

hear me out

[sharp falcon]

?

[dense fjord]

Beat false knight/city crest (+ get 200 geo) > beat vengefly king (for 65 geo) > beat hornet/get dash/collect 2 relics (840 geo) > get claw > beat mlords (for 620 geo+ 640 from relic) > buy strength > pleasure house relic > go to city to sell relics + nail upgrade > buy lantern > grab relic from well connecting dirtmouth to crossroads > sell > go to cpeaks > get cheart > get dnail > beat watchers and grab lurien > beat uumuu and grab monomon > go to deepnest from mlords (idk how to do qga) > grab herrah and stag to dirtmouth > beat thk

This is my route i just came up with

[stone lagoon]

what if..... we possibly get to see hornets mates in the dlc

[shrewd nymph]

R5 has been cleared on mobile before

[sharp falcon]

Thank you! It's very useless!

[knotty bluff]

it has a different amount of eyes and a way different texture to its shell

[subtle glacier]

hallownest seals aren’t worth 640

[dense fjord]

Okay? I wrote it for myself, im not forcing you to do my route

[dense fjord]

Oh

Im stupid

[subtle glacier]

they’re worth 450

[dusty jolt]

Just saw the announcement, what do they mean improving the framerate of hollowknight? Do they mean more frame rate options to choose from or something like that?

[dense fjord]

Now i dont wanna fucking do it

[sharp falcon]

We saw them throughout the game, for example the last sinner or the widow

[dense fjord]

Thank you

[knotty bluff]

those are her aunts

[sharp falcon]

haha, maybe

[stone lagoon]

No, just.. no.

[sharp falcon]

I recently became the top 2 CIS player in Hollow Knight. Congratulate me!

[dense fjord]

Ohh so your entire personality is built off being annoying

Awesome got it

[dark tiger]

@cursive lily who is this ❓

[shrewd nymph]

I dont think sk spoilers are allowed here

[stone lagoon]

he's zote but i can't prove it

https://tenor.com/view/doakes-gif-10412561699013336295

[sharp falcon]

Bro, don't be offended that I called your route bad.

[dense fjord]

Im not

[sharp falcon]

I don't think

[grand solar]

hi

[dense fjord]

You just demotivated me + i forgot hallownest seals are only worth 450 geo

[sharp falcon]

?

[grand solar]

do i get the dash ability before desolate dive

[foggy sable]

are you gonig for sub 5 hour achievement with that route?

[dense fjord]

Yes

[dense fjord]

Yeah

[vagrant robin]

If hollow knight was adapted into a anime would you watch it

[grand solar]

ok

[stone lagoon]

he's zote in secret

[knotty bluff]

it literally isn't even a bad route 😭 it's plenty enough to get the achievements you're after not even mentioning the fact it's clearly structured off any% route

[foggy sable]

okay I have a slightly different route

[grand solar]

100% yes

[sharp falcon]

oh, sorry then

[grand solar]

do i have the lumafly lantern

get*

[dense fjord]

Actually i can just stag to dmouth and grab kings idol +wanderers jounral from cliffs, need that for 100% steel soul achievement anyway, okay im remotivated

[grand solar]

do i get the lumafly lantern or not

[knotty bluff]

i think your translator might making you sound a lot meaner than what you intend if that wasn't on purpose

[dense fjord]

Yes

[grand solar]

ok

[sharp falcon]

In Russian it rhymes.

[knotty bluff]

hell yeah there you go

[grand solar]

ty for the info

[dense fjord]

I worded that weirdly, i can summon grimm troupe and get a nail art which i need for 100%*

[dense fjord]

:D

[knotty bluff]

man you're motivating me to try to go for the speedrun achievements

[terse oxide]

i gotta do that soon aswell :/

[foggy sable]

@dense fjord for pre city of tears geo I tend towards something like this
progress as normal to crossroads stag - false knight to get the 200 geo - get vengeful spirit - top route greenpath - get the relic near hornet - kill hornet for dash - quitout to stag station then go to fungal wastes to leg eater bench - go get claw then the relic above claw and kill mantis lords - quitout then get ogre notch and the 2 left side relics - quit out again then go into left side city

[sharp falcon]

You're right, I'm not being rude, the translator has always been and will always be crooked.

[knotty bluff]

i just know i'm gonna manage to screw myself doing uumuu without wings

[wary sphinx]

Will they happen? Hollow Knight 🥲🥲🥲

[knotty bluff]

i had a feeling lolol russian tends to come out harsh in english

[foggy sable]

then once you get into left side city get the seal in left side city and you should be good for geo

[vernal knot]

They literally already happened

The latter one anyway

[sharp falcon]

My favorite game bug is delayed interaction.

[dense fjord]

Oo true that could work

[wary sphinx]

What did they change?

[vernal knot]

I dunno', haven't tried it

All I know is Salubra was fucking killed

[foggy sable]

I also tend to prefer a route where I sell to lemm then go up to storerooms stag and immedietely go to peaks to get c dash, cornifer kings idol, and shopkeepers key before doing sanctum

[dense fjord]

Doing this ill get 4 achievements in one lmao
Speedrun 1, speedrun 2, defeating thk without voidheart, beating the game in steel soul

[foggy sable]

if you are in steel soul remember you get money from eggs

[dense fjord]

True

[dense fjord]

Wait you do?

[sharp falcon]

I completed Pantheon 5 with all chains without taking any damage, but I was the first in the CIS to do it three times.

[knotty bluff]

SO TRUE i always forget about jinn

[foggy sable]

so the one in city a few rooms above lemm and sly egg are about 7-800 geo if you get the storerooms key

[foggy sable]

at jiji on steel soul

[shrewd nymph]

[dense fjord]

How much geo?

[foggy sable]

about 350 each I think

[dense fjord]

Ooo

[shrewd nymph]

It varies

[foggy sable]

anyway I do geo routing like that so I can get elegant key and a nail upgrade to get shade soul before doing the annoying bit of sanctum

[dense fjord]

My route should work for at least beating the game within 5 hours right lmao

[knotty bluff]

hitless all bindings 3 times is impressive as fuck

[foggy sable]

probably

if you don't die anywhere 5 hours is a bunch of time

[dense fjord]

Okay imma try that now ill let yall know how i go

[foggy sable]

gl

[knotty bluff]

if you're on older patches you can skip elegant key!! if you jump above the door you can dash slash the lever through the wall

[sharp falcon]

In the Russian fandom, Lemm is a homeless beetle (in Russian, it's a rhyme)

[dense fjord]

I am doing this very stupidly cuz im tryna speedrun on steel soul but.. eh should be fine lmao

[knotty bluff]

never forget the power of quit to menu in steel soul 🫡

[sharp falcon]

I've been striving for one time for two years

[foggy sable]

getting dash slash requires right side city and a lot of time and a fair bit of geo, both a longer and more expensive detour than doing soul warrior 2 since you go to sanctum after getting shade soul anyway

[dense fjord]

True!

[knotty bluff]

signed, somebody who kinda sucks at the game

[foggy sable]

I like to have shade soul before doing right side sanctum

[shrewd nymph]

eh but why play steelsoul atp

[knotty bluff]

good point i forget it's really only a useful thing to know for randomizer

[foggy sable]

or a hk bingo

[knotty bluff]

achievements <3

[sharp falcon]

My record for completing the task is 1 hour 47 minutes

[foggy sable]

which is where I've used it

(bingy)

the mere mention of bingy summons choom

[knotty bluff]

i need to start running te cursed rando again it's so fun

[shrewd nymph]

Lmao

[dense fjord]

Wait i have news

[knotty bluff]

it's been years and to this day i still forget that i can fight mawlek with things other than downslash

[dense fjord]

Opening inventory as you hit the ground still prevents hard fall

This is so peak

[knotty bluff]

NICE

[foggy sable]

the zote change is looking amazing

[shrewd nymph]

Zote change?

[foggy sable]

as is the sly one

[dense fjord]

Said hi to elderbug, i gotta

[subtle glacier]

dash slash gets more utility with grubs in bingy tbh
shade soul lever skip isn’t real with the qol settings we use, but you can do qg left grub through white lady wall, and you can do spire grub without killing the ghs

[rancid zenith]

Silksong dlc announced and im stuck on p3 grey prince zote😭

[foggy sable]

zote will stagger less high

[sharp falcon]

Your most popular HK YouTuber is FireBorne, right?

[shrewd nymph]

Oh yeah i read that but had no clue what it meant

[foggy sable]

so you know how when you pogo him he can stagger up into you

I take it to mean that will happen less

[shrewd nymph]

Ahh

[subtle glacier]

only lever skips i’m really liking dash slash for are qg entry below wraiths and maaaaybe storerooms access immediately after crest

[shrewd nymph]

I dont really pogo him tbf

Only on his sword attack

[knotty bluff]

now let's hope they fix pv stagger crushing you with their big ass head

[foggy sable]

on his sword attack is where it is annoying tbf

[sharp falcon]

.

[dense fjord]

I got hit by the spikes in goam mask shard room and went bsck to the start of the room..😞😞

[shrewd nymph]

I pogo > dash > pogo > dash and it never happens but maybe just a coincidence

[foggy sable]

well what happens is you make strategies t oavoid the stagger

compared to just pogoing

[subtle glacier]

speaking of goam mask shard, it’s accessible without the vengefly with pause buffering out of the pogo on the beta

[shrewd nymph]

I dont pogo because i'll swing as he falls and then miss and take dmg

lowk a skill issue on my part

[sharp falcon]

It's not interesting, the feeling of the fight is lost

[knotty bluff]

fireb0rn and blueSR seem to be the most popular from what i know but i'm not up to date on things lol

[cinder jackal]

oh my goodness i LOVE fireb0rn

[foggy sable]

the sly greatslash change as well

I haven't seen the new hitboxes but it can't be worse

[shrewd nymph]

I only just saw the old hitbox and oml it was horrific

[dense fjord]

Beat false knight

[foggy sable]

yes

[knotty bluff]

this will forever be my favorite clip from my radiant pv attempts

[sharp falcon]

What are you talking about?

[knotty bluff]

they're talking about zote great slash hitbox

not zote sly

[sharp falcon]

Oh, the CHERRY team has banned me from writing in Russian here, I just can't do it.

[knotty bluff]

it's getting late excuse my lack of brain

[shrewd nymph]

Thats why we dont use sshadow 😭

[coral marlin]

Respect using Sharp Shadow on PV

[knotty bluff]

nobody can ever take sshadow away from me

[coral marlin]

Hell yeah brother

[shrewd nymph]

[knotty bluff]

i did in fact beat pure vessel radiant with sharp shadow if you're wondering

[shrewd nymph]

ggs but ouch

[knotty bluff]

under 30 attempts too

I DID PATH OF PAIN WITH SHARP SHADOW ON A SWITCH LITE .

[coral marlin]

Sharp Shadow was genuinely a great charm in a good few Radiant fights

[sharp falcon]

Techniques are ideal against Sly's second phase, I speak as an expert

[coral marlin]

My guy, I like Sharp Shadow, but what the fuck

[shrewd nymph]

Hmmmm

[foggy sable]

that reminds me to make sharp shadow pv strats

[shrewd nymph]

Ugh i hate that i know some optimal sshadow things on pv too

[coral marlin]

What, you gonna ask me "how so" or something

[knotty bluff]

i was 15 and forgot to take the charm off before starting and then got too deep in to chicken out

[coral marlin]

Nah that's fair actually

[knotty bluff]

that sounds awful out of context

[foggy sable]

for example sharp shadow is optimal on daggers to close distance faster

[subtle glacier]

why does grey do bad things like innovate with sharp shadow instead of good things like bingy

[shrewd nymph]

Sshadow is just a preference charm, its horrific but its preference so theres no point asking

[foggy sable]

hmm I should bingy

[coral marlin]

Well I didn't see it at first but then you pointed it out

[knotty bluff]

lolol

[coral marlin]

"Horrific" lmaooo

[sharp falcon]

I'm going to bed, see you tomorrow everyone

[lunar spade]

Trying to beat colosseum of fools

[coral marlin]

Like sheesh

[shrewd nymph]

Sshadow is very horrific lol

[onyx wigeon]

Thorns of agony is great do not listen to them

[lunar spade]

This shit is so ass why is it so hard

[coral marlin]

Did Sharp Shadow kill your Pantheon 5 run or something

[shrewd nymph]

no, p5 with sshadow is fun to do as a joke

[lunar spade]

Thorns of agony saved me many times do not listen to the haters

[shrewd nymph]

but the charm is really simply terrible

[knotty bluff]

sshadow is good exclusively if you also have dashmaster and sprintmaster equipped

[shrewd nymph]

[coral marlin]

Now you're just poking fun at it for the hell of it

[lunar spade]

What is sshadow?

[shrewd nymph]

Have you never wondered why its the most shit on charm and even moreso by top players

[shrewd nymph]

Sharp shadow

[coral marlin]

Why Sprintmaster? Only Dashmaster increases the damage

[sharp falcon]

the worst amulet in the game

[foggy sable]

sharp shadow isn't quite the worst charm but it isn't good

[knotty bluff]

if you know how to use it properly the 1.5x dmg boost makes it worth

[coral marlin]

Thorns of Agony exists, but go on I guess

[knotty bluff]

for getting out of the way before iframes run out

[lunar spade]

Never heard of sharp shadow before

[shrewd nymph]

Toa doesnt get shit on because no one talks about it

[shrewd nymph]

Toa is worse but sshadow is one of the worst and still the most shit on

[coral marlin]

It turns your Shade Dash into a damaging move that goes further

[knotty bluff]

it makes shade cloak do damage

[lunar spade]

My collection is nearly complete (I have like 7 left to get)

Ah okay

Yeah sprintmaster and dashmaster are great

[lunar spade]

Fantastic for quick enemies. You need to be fast in order to defeat fast enemies y'know?

[coral marlin]

Heavy Blow helps to rush staggers with Quick Slash and Steady Body I've found, and Sharp Shadow is just generally useful for a select group of bosses if you're looking for a different play style apart from the meta

[lunar spade]

It's been my rock through the colosseum

[knotty bluff]

hold on let me let you guys see my charm loadout because you're all gonna be mad af

[coral marlin]

Seen it in #sk-discussion already

[lunar spade]

But I wish I had more notches honestly

[weary stratus]

man ts so funny. hk chat is actually serious and people talm bout the game BUT SILKSONG IS BRAINROT

[calm trellis]

if im correct sshadow and dashmaster increase speed you get if you also have sprint master on

[lunar spade]

A lot of the goated ones take up a lot of them

[dense fjord]

Beat hornet

[lunar spade]

I wouldn't know, I haven't even played the game yet lol

[coral marlin]

No, Sharp Shadow's damage is increased with Dashmaster

Dashmaster + Sprintmaster synergize to further increase Sprintmaster's speed buff

[weary stratus]

lmao people js doing tomfoolery on that channel

[lunar spade]

I'll see for myself once I'm able to get in

[knotty bluff]

is there a link for the tierlist

[weary stratus]

you must be fun at parties

[shrewd nymph]

https://tiermaker.com/create/hollow-knight-charms-3252

[calm trellis]

huh i thought i saw a video that said adding sshadow ontop of dashmaster and sprintmaster adds speed

[weary stratus]

IMMA DO THIS

[lunar spade]

Okay quick question for chat

[grand solar]

what do i get after desolate dive

[lunar spade]

I've already beat the game but people say there's already dlc content

Where do I find it?

I need to take a break from colosseum and do more exploration now

[timber bridge]

Hey guys, anybody know how to remap pause button on PC? I'm unable to pause or inventory using my controller, only keyboard

[coral marlin]

Well the dash distance and dash speed is increased

Not so sure about walk speed itself

If that's what you meant

[calm trellis]

yeah im talking about walk speed

[cinder jackal]

you can use something like autohotkey to do that but you can't do it through the game itself

[grand solar]

yo whats after desolate dive guys

[timber bridge]

wym? is that a mod? sorry I'm tech-stupid

[coral marlin]

Nope, the only synergy it has is with Dashmaster, buffing SShadow's damage

[shrewd nymph]

its an app

[cinder jackal]

autohotkey is an external program

it lets you do a lot but all that's relevant here is the rebinding

[timber bridge]

ah I see

but I shouldn't need to do that in order to pause?

[coral marlin]

Heavy Blow for faster staggers, right?

[knotty bluff]

yeah

[coral marlin]

My man

[cinder jackal]

there's just no way to rebind it in game so this or an alternative kinda necessary in this case

[shrewd nymph]

beautiful build

[knotty bluff]

grub so if i get smacked i can spell retaliate

[coral marlin]

Oh hey, you guys know how fucked up No Eyes's lore is?

[cinder jackal]

otherwise you just have to deal with escape as pause which doesn't sound very fun with controller

[timber bridge]

But shouldn’t it work normally?

[knotty bluff]

dead child moment

[cinder jackal]

wdym?

[coral marlin]

No Eyes was forced to ||kill her own children|| before the infection took control of them. She couldn't bear to do it, so she ||tore out her own eyes|| so she wouldn't have to watch as she did so.

[onyx wigeon]

Why is she called no eyes if she has eye sockets is she stupid

[coral marlin]

Why doesn't she just get new eyes

[knotty bluff]

less so forced moreso took drastic measures to "prevent" the infection

no fr just make new eyes stupid

[coral marlin]

Yeah, pretty much

[coral marlin]

I mean, it was more of an act of mercy, to spare them from the inevitable pain

[weary stratus]

the website so goofy on phone

[shrewd nymph]

very interesting

[coral marlin]

Grimmchild in D Tier. Instant loss of respect.

I don't care how bad he is, he's still my at-least-10th-favourite-charm

[calm trellis]

bro has compass in A tier

[coral marlin]

Ngl, not banishing the Grimm Troupe is fair

I didn't even know that was an option until like halfway into my Steel Soul run

Carefree actually saved my first P4 attempt in Steel Soul on PV

[weary stratus]

compass helped everyone ALOT in their first ever blind playthrough so it deserves ATLEAST SOME respect

[shrewd nymph]

carefree in pantheons is cool

[calm trellis]

and if my friend is correct then its just a charm that might be good if it works on radiant bosses in HoG

[calm trellis]

ok fair

[shrewd nymph]

it does work on radiant bosses, its not good though

and it relies on mods to be usable tbh

[timber bridge]

Well I just meant why am I unable to pause with controller? Is that usually impossible without a workaround?

[shrewd nymph]

you can its just an annoying bind if you're constantly pressing it

[weary stratus]

its visually cool but not effective at all

[dense fjord]

Got claw

Now for mlords

[cinder jackal]

it should be possible

what controller are you using?

[coral marlin]

Or just ungodly amounts of patience

[calm trellis]

wyd like a challenge or something

[cinder jackal]

I assume you've tried the steam controller stuff already

[coral marlin]

Correction: It's decently effective on bosses who don't move much and/or have huge ass hitboxes

[dense fjord]

Tryna get steel soul + speedrun achievements in 1 run lmao

[calm trellis]

🦌 god

[coral marlin]

Oh yeah that's based actually

Still have yet to even attempt 112% Steel Soul under 5 hours

[weary stratus]

just use your nail and spells 🤷🏻‍♂️

[coral marlin]

Counterargument: Yeah cool, I like Grimmchild WHILE using my nail and spells

[calm trellis]

i need 1 more percent then i will have 112%ed my main save

[dense fjord]

Lmao i cant imagine ever doing that😭

[coral marlin]

Being on 111% seems to be a common trend

[timber bridge]

I mean I read to try turning off the steam controller support

[calm trellis]

what could that last percent beeeeee

[weary stratus]

cmon bro i believe you can do glass soul 112% too

[coral marlin]

I honestly can't imagine how much trouble I'll have. World record for 112% is 3 hours, 12 minutes if I recall correctly.

That's only an hour and 48 minutes of wiggle room.

Although that's also factoring in P5 ending

[cinder jackal]

record is 2:49:59

[weary stratus]

i did 100% in that amount of time

[coral marlin]

Shit, I'm way out of the loop

[foggy sable]

112 under 5 hours seems fun to go for

[coral marlin]

But we're talking 112%

Adds much more time and potential to lose time

[dense fjord]

Okay

[weary stratus]

yes i know

[dense fjord]

Mlords time without dying

[calm trellis]

wait i just realised

[dense fjord]

Gotta lock in

[meager shoal]

just 112% right

[calm trellis]

i dont think ive gotten every hunter journal thing

[meager shoal]

like not p5

[calm trellis]

:|

[coral marlin]

Banishing Grimm Troupe is way faster, could honestly just Sealed Siblings that shit to make it faster

[coral marlin]

Yeah

[timber bridge]

Omg wait i cycled it a couple more times I think we're good now thank you for the help!

[cinder jackal]

oh awesome

[coral marlin]

Since P5 isn't required for 112, I'd say any ending is fair game

Dream Gate right before the Black Egg to make that travel time SPEEDY

I'd also need a list of every required boss. I know the 5 Dream World bosses aren't required, alongside God Tamer for some reason

[calm trellis]

putting my game back to normal so i can put it into the beta again cuz it isnt working for some reasonnn

[terse oxide]

someone should look at my essay that i wrote on hollow knight

[coral marlin]

Required bosses as in Godhome bosses

[weary stratus]

where can we rate bosses bruh

[coral marlin]

And also the ones that give percent, in case some non-required ones for Godhome actually give percent anyway

[dense fjord]

I did it!

[coral marlin]

Idk, just search up "Hollow Knight boss tier maker"

[dense fjord]

Gonna go get a drink then back to getting thosr achievemnts

[calm trellis]

found a boss tierlist

https://tiermaker.com/create/hollow-knight-bosses-769340

[coral marlin]

I remember posting about a secret Quirrel interaction in the Mantis area, and someone thought I died to Mantis Lords with Nail 0.

Bitch, I do that shit for warm ups.

[calm trellis]

im gonna rank the bosses s for most difficult and f for least difficult

Okay chat, who's easier: Gruz Mother or Soul Master

[dense fjord]

Which quirrel interaction is that?

[calm trellis]

im also gonna be ranking them as if you have my main save stuff

[coral marlin]

It's just one that pops up if you go back into the beginning of the Mantis area. I'm assuming the flag triggers if you exit and re-enter after getting Claw.

He stands at the end of the ledge on the right side of the map

(Could be misremembering that part though)

[inner python]

im so excited for switch 2 edition

[shrewd nymph]

red one is a row and a half

[calm trellis]

tbh i should have put tmg and all of c and d tier in f aswell

[weary stratus]

the other varients of some bosses might be missing. it means i rate them the same rank that's why i didn't bother adding the other varient too

[dense fjord]

Havent fought absrad yet

Nkg is boring asf to me now though

[foggy sable]

[shrewd nymph]

R5ab and its been done

r045 has also been done

[vivid creek]

That's fair
I'm sure nkg will drop after I do aikg

[opal hearth]

im the only person to beat vengefly king with defenders crest and kingsoul

[shrewd nymph]

You done ikg?

[brittle crystal]

Guys should I use all my geo to buy mask pieces or something else?

[opal hearth]

mask pieces

[sand creek]

Bro

[vivid creek]

I haven't played any modded content
Saving that for post-r5

[calm trellis]

mmmm mask pieces

[winter mist]

yes buy masks pieces

[shrewd nymph]

Ahh makes sense

[brittle crystal]

What do they do I forgot

[sand creek]

I accidentally posted a video on art channel that I didn't mean to post bro

[shrewd nymph]

Ikg looks harder than aikg to me but maybe just because i skipped to aikg

[sand creek]

😭

[opal hearth]

if you get 4 mask pieces you get another mask

[brittle crystal]

How do I get more hearts ?

[opal hearth]

if you get 4 soul vessels you get another soul slot

[calm trellis]

whats ikg and aikg?

[opal hearth]

for every 4 mask pieces you get one

[sand creek]

Wasn't it 3

[shrewd nymph]

(Absolute) inferno king grimm

[dense fjord]

Modded bosses that are nkg but harder

[brittle crystal]

Alr ty

[vivid creek]

I've gotta ask btw,
Why are blobbles, hive knight & BV so high?

[foggy sable]

I like the bullet hell style of fights

[shrewd nymph]

Bv we'll never know

Fuck bv

[foggy sable]

and hive knight I did irab so I just like that fight

[vivid creek]

Fair, lol

[foggy sable]

bv is fun

more fair than lost kin with a cool attack

[shrewd nymph]

i have multiple problems with the fight

but ik people generally do like him and lost kin'

[foggy sable]

such as?

[calm trellis]

ok time to attempt traitor lord radiant he is easy but the attack that you HAVE to shade dash through always catches me off gaurd if i dont kill him before it happens

[sand creek]

Am not even at r5 and my list looks like this

[vivid creek]

bv & lk jumps feel like such rng bs sometimes

[opal hearth]

idk

[sand creek]

On hk or silksong?

[mint nimbus]

im going to try the public beta and im just wondering if it is safe to open a save file, like will smth go wrong or

[sand creek]

Cus I still haven't gotten silksong

[calm trellis]

did it

[foggy sable]

I don't like lost kins empty jumps the rest of the fight is good though

[vivid creek]

ye

[mint nimbus]

or should i open a new save file

[knotty bluff]

nah you're good, i even opened saves that have had mods loaded previously and they were fine

[vivid creek]

I think the empty jump should've just been left out and they could've given it a 2nd dive variant instead

[shrewd nymph]

bullshit jumps but i think thats a given
small hitbox so when hitting him you can hardly see the telegraph of the dash which means you just gotta hit few then sit there and if he doesnt do it you look stupid
the fight kinda just goes as him dashing around the arena with the occasional rng jump so its never fluid and feels like fucking electron stationary states ykwim

[dense fjord]

Okay this red line will be my route cuz im silly and didnt bench anywhere closer lmao

[shrewd nymph]

but its mostly the jumps that i find stupid. the dash attack is just boring conditioning

[dense fjord]

Actually stagging to dmouth will be faster

[foggy sable]

yes

[mint nimbus]

my non-gaming laptop was struggling yesterday with hollow knight
(and it doesn't with silksong cause it's optimised)
hopefully this update optimises it better

[foggy sable]

bv is slow enough the empty jumps aren't a real threat at least

so they don't really detract from the fight for me

well not too much

[vivid creek]

Ye
BV > LK for that exact reason, imo

[pastel locust]

i am a sturgeon

dr han

[sand creek]

Does anyone else play on Max brightness

[foggy sable]

also bv being in between the worst bosses in the game helps it a bit I think

[calm trellis]

what is wrong with you

[sick heath]

No I would go blind

[pastel locust]

that would be fun but im not

[sand creek]

.

[dense fjord]

Wait chat is the crossroads elevator into city accessible rn?

[sand creek]

Why am getting jumped
