tetor tot is a good way to move on

[wicked kiln]

[crisp willow]

Drop the tonic

[hot moon]

this respect button

[fiery trench]

nobody cares enough cro

[spiral vault]

This channel is NOT hk exclusive

[wicked kiln]

changes my point how?

[crisp willow]

It must be tho

[fiery trench]

ur point isnt wrong, simply dismissed

[crisp willow]

Lets talk about optimal charm builds for funnsies- builds that are not meta

[spiral vault]

I've seen celeste discussion pokemon discussion ultrakill discussion

[wicked kiln]

you see people stealing too yet its not allowe

[crisp willow]

This chat has gone through horrors

[crisp willow]

Thank you

[eternal nexus]

2025 ending and people still can't read.

[spiral vault]

[fiery trench]

I watched someone fight THK and Rad with hiveblood, quickslash, and shamans
someone else did so with Grimmchild

[dim lance]

yes you can talk off topic if HK isn't discussed
no you cannot randomly meme dump in the channel

[topaz hatch]

Nelson late as usual

[crisp willow]

Reading ≠ apply

[wicked kiln]

i see

[crisp willow]

Tbh meme spams are annoying regardless

[wicked kiln]

true

its also the same memes too😭

[keen thorn]

Glowing womb, thorns of Agony, Heavy Blow, Defender's Crest, Flukemest, Deep Focus

[fiery trench]

meme reusal is ok, meme spam is not

[dim lance]

thsi is insulting

[wicked kiln]

thats the thing due to meme spam it leads to meme reusal

[crisp willow]

BlueSR's build i swe

[keen thorn]

If it hurts it's true

[dim lance]

a lot of things hurt cause i'm old

[fiery trench]

type of build streamers use

[crisp willow]

How about this. H.K was published 8 years ago

[fiery trench]

sword and shield turn 7 in 11 months

[hot moon]

okay

[dim lance]

felt like yesterday when pokemon red came out (red was obviously superior to blue)

[keen thorn]

What about pokemon purple

[crisp willow]

ok you are old /unsrs

[fiery trench]

yeah thats bcuz blue was made sloppily, green is the superior red partner

[empty reef]

YO I JUST REMEMBERED

[crisp willow]

The ancient beings whom remmember pokemon games' release are like the void kingdom in hollow knight

Anchiet, unknkwn, un hears of, but real, and we have evidance

[empty reef]

I CAN PLAY THIS GAME AND WASTE 10 HOURS OF MY LIFE😄

[fiery trench]

welcome to the party

[runic shuttle]

youd waste more than 10 hours

if you dont stop at forgotten crossroads

[empty reef]

Well I actually just started gang

[runic shuttle]

in fact it took me around 2 hours to fight false knight on my first playthrough

[fiery trench]

im in basin and its only been like 2

[crisp willow]

Where ya getting at

[copper spruce]

Ok

[runic shuttle]

[fiery trench]

night

[umbral monolith]

Gng, what's the text that appears at the starting cinematic of hollow knight?

[fiery trench]

the poem?

[umbral monolith]

Ye

[worn hamlet]

explaining what it is is spoilers for the game lore

[umbral monolith]

Don't be makin fun of my height

[fiery trench]

In wilds beyond they speak your name with reverence and regret

For none could tame our savage souls yet you the challenge met

Under palest watch, you taught, we changed, base instincts were redeemed

A world you gave to bug and beast as they had never dreamed

-FROM 'ELEGY FOR HALLOWNEST' BY MONOMON THE TEACHER

[worn hamlet]

u get context for it later

[umbral monolith]

Alr thanks

[worn hamlet]

oh they were just asking for the actual thing it said

whoops

[fiery trench]

note to all: attemting to kill the fatass Mawleks on the way to BV with nail 0 sucks

[umbral monolith]

Ye

[umbral monolith]

Ye, I've already done everything, it's alg tho

[worn hamlet]

oki

anyways time to try rando

[subtle glacier]

gl ramdo

[worn hamlet]

tysm :D

why'd I start with geo im confusion

[fiery trench]

Alr, BV time (this is gonna suck)

[subtle glacier]

any charms

[subtle glacier]

its a setting, doesn't make a big difference but its so you can afford iselda on your first dirtmouth trip

[fiery trench]

dash master and soul catcher

[subtle glacier]

😬

don't forget to unlock the shortcut

[fiery trench]

I didnt, this is gonna take awhile
Hollow Point does not make the game easy

[burnt harness]

i beat path of pain :)

[worn hamlet]

oki

[fiery trench]

ggs cro

[worn hamlet]

strength for 1 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[fiery trench]

lucky u

[worn hamlet]

except my menu got stuck open so I needa restart the game

[fiery trench]

I beat BV first try
never staggered so I thought I was doing terrible

I got wings before dnail and cheart lets go

[worn hamlet]

noice

[fiery trench]

now to go get some spells and kings brand

[worn hamlet]

ok now to try this again

not gonna interact with modded menus this time unless it's included in the mod options

king's idol :o

[fiery trench]

alr, my current route: Hornet 2, kings brand, kings station, dive, dnail, Lurien

probably gonna pick up cheart on the way to dnail

[worn hamlet]

wait a min what shortcut were u talking about?

[fiery trench]

BV shortcut

[worn hamlet]

the one to get out without wings?

[fiery trench]

I was doing the fight with nail 0

[worn hamlet]

ohhhh u

I thought there was smth that might get me softlocked lol

MONOMON

WHAT THE HECK

ISELDA MONOMON

[fiery trench]

average rando be like

[potent monolith]

I'd like to apologize for saying p5 nail binding is the easiest

[worn hamlet]

what but it is

even I've done it

[potent monolith]

turns out the collector fight is hard when you can't oneshot the minions

[wary hound]

HERRO

[fiery trench]

I mean its not wrong

[worn hamlet]

try charm

:D

much worse

[fiery trench]

oh yeah fuck that

[worn hamlet]

nail is easier at least bc giant fireball is still available

[fiery trench]

but just Nart

alr Hornet 2 time

Hornet 2 vs smg lets go

[worn hamlet]

dang corny be scamming

15 geo for 30 geo D:

[copper spruce]

Ok

[worn hamlet]

fog canyon map just fell out of thin air im confusion

[fiery trench]

he also has deals sometimes tho

[fiery trench]

geo rock on the roof

[worn hamlet]

soul eater for 1 :o

[worn hamlet]

I mean there is one

but that's what that check is

[hoary fjord]

4th boss in a row where i survive by one mask

[fiery trench]

You as well?

[hoary fjord]

yes

let me grab my screenie

[ivory storm]

SCREENIE LOL

English is funny sometimes

[fiery trench]

LMAO Didn't expect a dialogue change

[worn hamlet]

loll

[hoary fjord]

excuse the quality i nicked it off my tiktok because the recording itself is on another device

[fiery trench]

same boss, same hp lmao

[hoary fjord]

stinked her to death

[fiery trench]

I shot her down

[peak hound]

radiant absolute radiance is the most bs boss ever

[hoary fjord]

steady body, quickslash, and stalwart

goat

[hidden spire]

Horse

[fiery trench]

hate that boss with my soul

[hoary fjord]

yes exactly imagine you're a horse and keep ramming at hornet

https://tenor.com/view/horse-spinning-spin-water-hose-gif-12360101317814386181

[hidden spire]

I would be a big horse

[fiery trench]

alr should I go get dive or beat colos for pale ore and charm notch

[hidden spire]

https://tenor.com/view/uma-musume-cheval-grand-ウマ娘シュヴァルグラン-gif-7262972151041857205

[hoary fjord]

trial of the conqueror is fairly easy so go for it

trial of the fools maybe get 6 or 7 masks

[fiery trench]

alr (I have nail 0 btw)

[hoary fjord]

cooketh

I'm guessing it ain't your first playthrough

[fiery trench]

hell na it aint

[uneven ermine]

hell na it aint

[hoary fjord]

lmfao definitely go for it then, void spells can wait

[uneven ermine]

nah ts aura blud

[foggy sable]

old nail white spells colo 3

go for it

[fiery trench]

thats normal dive

[hidden spire]

I did the first and second trial first try relatively easy but I only beat the third trial after p2

[hoary fjord]

he-he-hell naw

[foggy sable]

yes

[hoary fjord]

7 hits primal aspid

[fiery trench]

gotta to a fake Texas accent for the playthrough with a gun at least once

[foggy sable]

fun

[hoary fjord]

6 hits armored mosquitoes

[foggy sable]

enjoyable

[hoary fjord]

50 hits on the big hoppers

[foggy sable]

spells

[fiery trench]

so my choice to run past every primal aspid prior was a good idea

[civic temple]

Guys, how did grubberflys elegy damage work? Or they have set amount of damage?

[fiery trench]

I currently lack any, would a gun make up for that?

[hoary fjord]

i lowk almost raged beating collo 2 with a level 2 nail

[foggy sable]

it would probably

[hoary fjord]

or i guess level 1 if you consider old nail as level 0

[foggy sable]

old nail white spells colo 3 is actually so much fun

[hoary fjord]

how much pale ore do i need to get to the final nail

[fiery trench]

3

[hoary fjord]

shite

so i actually have to find 31 grubs for this

🫩

[fiery trench]

I should probably let myself dash for colos huh

[keen thorn]

I tried C043

It's just evil

[foggy sable]

the most I did is onws charmless 5hp

[keen thorn]

It's a cakewalk, then for some segments it gets kind of tough

And then comes spike floor 💀

I got to spike floor first try and I was never able to beat it

[foggy sable]

22 minutes...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Krg6z8LUtUs

[keen thorn]

Woah why so long

[foggy sable]

skill issues

[keen thorn]

It took me like 15 to reach spike floor 04

[foggy sable]

it was also my first attempt so I didn't know how to play it

[peak hound]

rad absrad genuinely makes me wanna jump off a cliff
worst boss ever made

[keen thorn]

That was also my first attempt and I didn't now how to play it

[wary hound]

no

no

he s got a point

[keen thorn]

Absrad is the best fight of the game

[wary hound]

( any rad )

[fiery trench]

I hate that hop ritual Armored Baulders do when you have 2 next to each orher

[foggy sable]

I believe I did 04 later for the funnies but ew

[ivory storm]

LOL what, I don't remember her saying that

[peak hound]

that on radiant is absolutely bs

[ivory storm]

What gun Hornet? What gun

[keen thorn]

No

[keen thorn]

Lol

[fiery trench]

Hollow Point exclusive dialogue
do not recommend doing it with nail 0 and gun damage only tho

[ivory storm]

HOLY JOLLY GENIO

[keen thorn]

You did C043??

[ivory storm]

Heyy Genio bro, how was your Christmas man

[foggy sable]

I believe so, it was before I got into all the of radHoG so it was a while ago

[keen thorn]

Really good

[ivory storm]

Yess man, very happy to hear that

[foggy sable]

it wasn't much harder than the recorded one so

[ivory storm]

We really had all the family tree together for the holidays so it's awesome here too

[keen thorn]

Oh boy where do I start

[foggy sable]

I think I died in tall no floor section first attempt and don't remember exactly how the others went

it is mostly the bad impression it left tbh

[ivory storm]

From the very beginning!

[keen thorn]

C043 is just 99% the spike floor section

[foggy sable]

04 radHoG I should specify

[peak hound]

if computers existed in the medieval period
forcing someone to do radiant absolute radiance until they beat it would be the best torture method

[keen thorn]

Before Christmas we have a family tradition called posadas, which are a set of parties through the 16 until the 23rd

And with the whole extended family of my mom's mom

[ivory storm]

No way

[ivory storm]

Das crazy

[keen thorn]

I have 40 cousins in that family

[ivory storm]

NO WAY

[keen thorn]

Not everyone goes to every single one

But the last one is always the most stacked

[ivory storm]

Wait Genio, where were you from again

[keen thorn]

Mexico

[ivory storm]

PARRRTYY ROOCKIN'

[ivory storm]

kinda expected it somehow ngl

Tortilla

Nachos

[keen thorn]

Sadly I missed all of them except the last 3 because I was sick

[ivory storm]

Chilli

[keen thorn]

That's not Mexican

[ivory storm]

Then got sick of CELEBRATING!!

[ivory storm]

Shi

[keen thorn]

It's Tex Mex

[ivory storm]

Ig I'm just being hungry rn

[keen thorn]

Like chimichangas and hard shell tacos

If you tell a Mexican a hard shell taco is a Mexican taco you're getting smacked in the face

[ivory storm]

I'll tell you a little secret ||I've never eaten taco ||

[keen thorn]

Never too late to try one

[ivory storm]

It's just not as popular in my country, I really would love to tho

[ivory storm]

YES!!!

[keen thorn]

I'm about to have some for dinner

[vernal knot]

Crazy

[ivory storm]

Dude I've always liked the mexican atmosphere

since kid

[keen thorn]

[rare aurora]

you mean the orange filter

[vernal knot]

I mean It's aight

[knotty willow]

Guys.. i beat path of pain for the first time

[keen thorn]

Also in the last of the parties Santa Claus comes

[ivory storm]

But as I grew up and learned about these cartels I'm kinda worried about the country's situation

I hope you're doing great Genio

[wary hound]

gj

[vernal knot]

[knotty willow]

I beat it in one sitting i played from 7-11 playing path straight

[keen thorn]

Yeah we're kinda cooked as a country

[copper spruce]

pl

[keen thorn]

Gov sucks and the people don't care enough

[copper spruce]

ok

[ivory storm]

I mean don't all govs

We had the biggest protest ever 2 weeks ago

[distant lagoon]

a beautiful sight to see

[rare aurora]

not to the extent of mexico, no

[ivory storm]

And I don't expect much difference in future

[wary hound]

FR

[nocturne cape]

People here decide should I put P5AB on hold to get the Steel Heart achievement on my Steam account

[keen thorn]

They all suck in their unique ways, but ours is specially sucking

[nocturne cape]

I like steel soul more than Godhome so I’m probably gonna do it

[ivory storm]

But let's not get into politics, especially in this channel

[keen thorn]

Yeah

[ivory storm]

Are you too

[distant lagoon]

honestly i don't think im gonna finish P5 with all bindings

[rare aurora]

no

[nocturne cape]

I really wanna do it even though I know im nowhere near good enough yet

[rare aurora]

i just got back home actually

[distant lagoon]

its the last pantheon i need to complete all pantheons with bindings

[rare aurora]

austria my beloved

[ivory storm]

I think having the mentality to replay that thing is a win enough

[keen thorn]

Godhome 🔛 🔝

[keen thorn]

P5AB is especially evil

[nocturne cape]

I actually first tried the fifth pantheon when I moved from switch to Mac

[distant lagoon]

especially on radiant..

[nocturne cape]

But I’m still nowhere near P5AB skill💔

[keen thorn]

Oh but you didn't read this! @ivory storm

[ivory storm]

Low-key they giving us a second game when we pay only once

[distant lagoon]

screw it im gonna finish P5 with all bindings

[wary hound]

then do godhome in steel soul

[keen thorn]

Gl!

[ivory storm]

That's cute and fun

[nocturne cape]

Tempting

[keen thorn]

Yeah!

And especially cute for the little kids

[wary hound]

im fighting a quite difficult boss

[ivory storm]

Yesss

[keen thorn]

A good amount of my cousins are under 10 still

[ivory storm]

Really cool dude

[keen thorn]

I got a Hollow Knight thermic cup

[worn hamlet]

vengeful spirit :D

(rando)

[nocturne cape]

Actually I did miss the arcane egg on this save so it can’t get to 100% true completion anyway

[worn hamlet]

oh I also just softlocked myself

[keen thorn]

It used to be a family member dressed as Santa, but recently they started hiring a special Santa actor, it's his second year

[ivory storm]

Pic!! Now!

[worn hamlet]

ill have to reload the save

[keen thorn]

He's phenomenal

[keen thorn]

Lol

[ivory storm]

Ho ho ho! Have a voidheartly Christmas!

[distant lagoon]

my wanderer's journal is out for delivery!!!!

[keen thorn]

When I get home

[rare aurora]

jesus

[ivory storm]

Balright

[keen thorn]

But yeah I have a lot of cool relatives I rarely see so it's a really jolly time

[worn hamlet]

meh I think I'll continue this rando later

[keen thorn]

Turns out a cousin my age got a gf and he brought her to the last one

[worn hamlet]

time to do more absolute zote and other fun modded bosses :D

[worn hamlet]

if ur comfy saying, how old are u?

[keen thorn]

18

[worn hamlet]

oh same lol

[keen thorn]

Lol

[ivory storm]

The lore update you get every time you meet with distant relatives is always a very cool thing

[keen thorn]

Yep

[rare aurora]

1st degree??

[keen thorn]

Second

[rare aurora]

ah okay that makes a lot of sense

[keen thorn]

We are 8 cousins from my mom

40 from her mom

[rare aurora]

10ish here too lazy to count

[keen thorn]

Turns out another cousin, the sister of the previous one actually lol, went to New York

[ivory storm]

The american dream

[keen thorn]

Yeah she told me so much about her trip

She had lots of fun

And saw snow I still have yet to see

[ivory storm]

I'm not that close with my cousins, I have exactly 2 first degrees I think but I love them a lot ofc

[rare aurora]

wait have you never seen snow

[keen thorn]

Nope

[worn hamlet]

:O

[rare aurora]

what

crazy

[keen thorn]

Well, on the top of the mountain in the train on Spain

[worn hamlet]

honestly snow is so cool, even if very overhyped

[ivory storm]

One that lives in another country is here now and ahh

[rare aurora]

dw you’re not missing out on much it’s annoying af

[keen thorn]

And I guess when I was 2 years old

[worn hamlet]

looks much cooler than it feels that's for sure lol

[worn hamlet]

it's only annoying if you live with it

bc then u have to shovel the car every time u wanna go somewhere

[keen thorn]

[ivory storm]

I love it so much but my town seems to skip snow entirely as the years go by

[worn hamlet]

dangg

[ivory storm]

Very bad I'd say

[rare aurora]

i was more thinking about the eternally soggy shoes

[worn hamlet]

um

boots?

[ivory storm]

Fix the ozone layer chat

[keen thorn]

I have 2 groups of cousins that live in the US, and very iconically both are first cousins of eachother

They share grandpa

[worn hamlet]

why are you wearing normal shoes in snow?

[rare aurora]

i’m autistic you think i swap my shoes

[worn hamlet]

im autistic too ;-;

different flavors ig

[keen thorn]

One of them coming over in June was the reason for my iconic break on R5

They are so cool

[rare aurora]

i’m currently running around with my summer running shoes get on my lvl

[ivory storm]

Wdymm

[worn hamlet]

afk ima go get some sparkling water

[fresh isle]

happy birthday

[worn hamlet]

yeah I could never lol

[ivory storm]

Like he/she hyped you and you got it

[worn hamlet]

I just have my running shoes and that's abt all I wear bc I don't have a job and my parents will only get me one pair of shoes at a time since they're super expensive

man I need a job

[keen thorn]

[keen thorn]

No, my iconic break

[ivory storm]

Ohhhh

WAIITT

ON THE FIRST BENCH?

LMAOOO

[rare aurora]

i’m the guy that makes spreadsheets for the average times to get to places via different routes

[copper spruce]

Another spreadsheet user

I don't feel alone anymore

[ivory storm]

Dude be playing with cousins while doing one of the hardest things in gaming

[rare aurora]

spreadsheets are goated

[keen thorn]

She did cheer me on tho

"can't say I wished I didn't take a break" is exactly this actually

[keen thorn]

Fr

[foggy sable]

you did 04r stuff before r5?

[copper spruce]

I used to make spreadsheets for games I liked

[keen thorn]

R5 grind -> cousins come (break) -> R5 again but I suck now -> some R04s to cope -> R5 again but I still suck

[foggy sable]

probably good practice for it

[ivory storm]

Genio is just not able to be bad

[copper spruce]

[ivory storm]

Always nice, even when angry

[copper spruce]

Genio go play cue again

the meta still sucks

[ivory storm]

W cousin

R5 with the power of cousins

Maybe that was my problem with HK's hard stuff, I don't have enough cousins

[subtle knoll]

i feel like banishing the grimm troupe and keeping the kingsoul is really the better option for utilities

[copper spruce]

maybe the reason I suck at the game is because I lack friends

[keen thorn]

Ew

[copper spruce]

power of friendship seems real

[subtle knoll]

which game

[keen thorn]

I actually explained beosol to my dad the other day

[keen thorn]

True!!

[oblique dome]

Man this guy is so cool i hope he doesnt die

[subtle knoll]

my friend is still stuck on pantheon 3 because he freed zote

[wary hound]

[keen thorn]

When we were connecting again after basically our whole lives only knowing the other existed and we were cousins, she actually found my yt channel and was just like
"Dude is this you? You're too good 😭"

Turns out a couple of her friends play hk

[ivory storm]

NOO WAY

Life is great sometimes

You never know what happens next

That's also the bad part too...

[subtle knoll]

926 hours 0_0 i got 40 dawg..

[ivory storm]

Dog been playin for years

Happens

[copper spruce]

Lock isn't meta anymore

it's fine

[subtle knoll]

ohhh

[subtle knoll]

i have 631 in silksong and ive had it for 2 months..

[shrewd nymph]

how many hours are even in 2 months 😭

[subtle knoll]

1460

so roughly half of my time in those months before i switched to HK was spent silking the song

[copper spruce]

1460 isn't muuch

[keen thorn]

Fr

Don't tell my cousins but I'd say she's my favorite cousin

[limber cargo]

oh first try hornet 1
totally not my 2nd playthrough

[keen thorn]

She's just so cool to hang out with and one of my best friends as of now, even if we only see eachother once a year :>

[keen thorn]

Wait the cup!

[copper spruce]

[median marten]

[copper spruce]

I wish humans were real

[median marten]

#relatable

[wary hound]

~~totally not my 2nd playthrough~~

[limber cargo]

insert ~~ before and after your message

[keen thorn]

[median marten]

hi

ok

thx

[keen thorn]

I just got a ping from OdiumEd about a free pack

[shrewd nymph]

That looks sick wtf

[copper spruce]

the only thing ppl got in christmas was a free pack and paid offers

no festive cards

CUE server is just used to advertise their newest project

[keen thorn]

[copper spruce]

@keen thorn

[copper spruce]

imagine playing CUE and one of the announcements is for a game that's not even out yet

[wary hound]

😭

[copper spruce]

@shrewd nymph is this true

[wary hound]

y is kingsoul c

[limber cargo]

quick focus in S?

[subtle knoll]

slots

[limber cargo]

also shaman C wtf

[wary hound]

https://medal.tv/games/hollow-knight/clips/lNqFVKo7ipWAO9qUu?invite=cr-MSwxNXQsNDQ5OTAwOTYz&v=67 LETS GOOOOOO thats super good for me

[subtle knoll]

i heal often in risky spots

[keen thorn]

[subtle knoll]

i dont use spells often

[keen thorn]

I also got a hitless ground today

It's just crazy to pull it off

Gg

[wary hound]

wym hitless ground?

[limber cargo]

😭
my setup for bosses is:
quick slash mop shaman spell twister

no point usuing healing charms

[keen thorn]

Calling phases by number is not really correct because there can be 3, 4, 5 or 6 phases depending on who you ask and when

So you call them by bames

[wary hound]

fair

[copper spruce]

there are 700 phases

[keen thorn]

Start, Spike Floor, (full spike floor in anyrad), Sword Rain, Plats, Climb, Final

The first 3 (4 in anyrad) are ground

[wary hound]

wait WAT

[tawdry magnet]

That last part just seems untrue

[wary hound]

theres a full spike floor

:Sob

😭

[keen thorn]

Oh

Lmao

Still crazy work

[subtle knoll]

i pull off lots of risky heals.

unbstrength, unbheart, quickfocus, sharp shadow, grubsong

quickfocus is interchangable with quickslash depending on the boss

[keen thorn]

Wrong one

[limber cargo]

as long as theres no mods involved
there really isnt a need for healing charms

else skill issue 😭

[shrewd nymph]

gg

[keen thorn]

Ahhh

I hate my wifi

[pliant bough]

[limber cargo]

i mean grubsong could be slot in sure, but im not a quick/deep focus believer

[wary hound]

idk why i am paining myself like thos

this*

[shrewd nymph]

Im looking intently at fury eater and flukenest in D
And shaman in C

[subtle knoll]

i have 47 hours. it is a skill issue.

[limber cargo]

whats ur game progression at

[copper spruce]

so you agree quickslash is mid because it's at B

[tawdry magnet]

I mean yeah skill issue, once you get to the point of radiants of course healing charms won't help, but before that saying there's no point to them seems false

[subtle knoll]

109%

[shrewd nymph]

I mean thats the point..? You're saying that if you ever take damage you basically have a skill issue

[keen thorn]

[limber cargo]

kill them before they kill u mentality

[shrewd nymph]

I didnt get that high up 😭

[keen thorn]

Here

Finally

[ivory storm]

BROOOO

[keen thorn]

Oh it's 2.0 😭

I give up

[ivory storm]

THAT'S AWESOMENESS

[shrewd nymph]

Wheres the 1.0 gif smh

[ivory storm]

Wait why is there a Hollow Knight title in the middle of the art

[keen thorn]

Idk

[limber cargo]

not that you wont take damage in the game, but more so the default heal timings the game gives you is more or less enough to survive through any boss

[keen thorn]

My mom got it and she doesn't know anything about the game lol

Just what I tell her and that I'm good at it

[tawdry magnet]

What are some cool modded bosses i should try that aren't ridiculously hard

[keen thorn]

Forgotten light is really cool

[shrewd nymph]

Absolute inferno king grimm

[keen thorn]

Also the pale court roster

[shrewd nymph]

basic but good entry

[keen thorn]

Pale Prince

Also very basic and a bit buggy but cool

[shrewd nymph]

Nightmare and void 🙏

[subtle knoll]

unless your shit at the game and the bosses you fight all have shit heal windows

[tawdry magnet]

I guess thats true but it doesnt hurt to add another layer of safety

[ivory storm]

It's still incredible bro

[limber cargo]

i just prefer the additional damage /shrug

[copper spruce]

Don't die

[shrewd nymph]

And heal is also pointless if you dont take damage

But its a precaution

[keen thorn]

Tell them to explode

[copper spruce]

I want to explode

irl

[subtle knoll]

not on my tierlist. it's a need. i pick very tricky heal windows and get hit a lot

[shrewd nymph]

I place qfocus like high A tier and i solely play hitless

[vernal knot]

Why is it always explode

[shrewd nymph]

Not solely but 90%

[vernal knot]

Implode is right there

[subtle knoll]

they need to add an f tier for thorns of agony it ruins escape timings

[vernal knot]

Why are they ignored

[copper spruce]

No thorns of agony is great

[vernal knot]

Implode deserves justice

[limber cargo]

yes but you stall the fight by not being able to deal more damage

hence you get hit more

[shrewd nymph]

Harder to find a gif for implosion

[keen thorn]

It's not thaaaaaat egregious, I can understand most weird take- aahhhhh Quickslash is in B wtf

[ivory storm]

Name a better duo

[shrewd nymph]

So by your logic you should never ever heal in a fight?

😭

[ivory storm]

You can't

[subtle knoll]

i hit infrequently

[vernal knot]

UNB heart is on S gng

[ivory storm]

Void juice with the hollow cup

[vernal knot]

How is that not Egregious

[shrewd nymph]

Shaman in c

[keen thorn]

With quickslash you just hit twice when you'd hit once, it is that simple

Mathematically, objectively, and in basically every metric quickslash is the default best charm in the game

[limber cargo]

you should when you need to

I'm just saying the default heal is enough to sustain you in 99% of the scenarios, without using healing charms

[subtle knoll]

imagine being hornet and seeing thousands of void creatures wearing your younger sibling's skulls

[vernal knot]

With heart you can tank twice what you'd normally tank

[foggy sable]

I don't understand the healing slander

healing charms are great

[keen thorn]

Quick focus is a good charm

Unn is fine

[foggy sable]

qf + stalwart is so op

[keen thorn]

Yes

[shrewd nymph]

Ehhh, qfocus is great but the rest? Dfocus mid, spore shroom mid, uhh what else

[limber cargo]

3 charm notches compared to:
strength/quick slash/shaman?
nope

[keen thorn]

Actually yes

[subtle knoll]

deep focus DESERVES F

[keen thorn]

I'd argue qf can be prefered over shaman in certain scenarios

And before unb strength in ow you'd actually use qf over strength or qs

[shrewd nymph]

It can be good and not top 3

[keen thorn]

It is pretty good and by far the best survival charm

[pliant bough]

ts is u

[keen thorn]

Ts cat

[foggy sable]

it can be

[shrewd nymph]

F is reserved for things that can often be inhibiting, dfocus can be but its net positive easily

[keen thorn]

Is TS cat a gd level?

[ivory storm]

Heart in B?

I mean

[keen thorn]

Yeah

[subtle knoll]

the only positive use of it is being cute snail slightly longer with unn and baldur

[keen thorn]

Heart is perfectly mid

[copper spruce]

Ye

[keen thorn]

Does its job but you can substitute it easily

[shrewd nymph]

I dont use heart so maybe its off, but it just doesnt change anything drastically

[copper spruce]

that's what I do and why I died to watchers 60+ times

[keen thorn]

Still I get why someone would like it a lot

[ivory storm]

I mean 2 permanent masks for 2 notches is a great deal

but anyway

[keen thorn]

And 2 notchers aren't actually that competitive

[subtle glacier]

buh

[shrewd nymph]

It's unordered but its high B

[keen thorn]

The best 2 notch is Steady Body + something

[vernal knot]

Why does this chat always turn into Charm talk at these hours

[shrewd nymph]

I see its use in mask binding atleast

[foggy sable]

fun

[vernal knot]

It's so interesting to me

[shrewd nymph]

Controversial

[civic temple]

My own statue made from dung defender

[vernal knot]

The Shit statue was worth it

[ivory storm]

Wayward Compass

[civic temple]

Yeah

[subtle knoll]

is that. on fucking mobile.

[civic temple]

Yeah

[keen thorn]

It's controversial, anyone can say their opinions, the pros in chat are ready to argue about full potential of charms, sharp shadow

[pliant bough]

idt so but im making a top 50 that could be called that

[vernal knot]

I know

I don't mind it

[stray void]

U can play hollow knight on MOBILE????

[vernal knot]

I just wanna know why it's always at like 12 PM

[shrewd nymph]

Charm discussion is better than hkgen atleas

[stray void]

Real?

[vernal knot]

And it's always everyone

[civic temple]

Uh unofficial

[vernal knot]

Hey that's me

[ivory storm]

The last 2 words are awesome

[civic temple]

But still you can play that on mobile

[stray void]

Pirate one? Oh

[ivory storm]

[civic temple]

Yeah, didn't have console or pc yet

So gonna play mobile first

[subtle knoll]

i feel like my tierlist wouldve been more understandable if i did it on an alignment chart instead of SABCD

[stray void]

How is that possible the button is already 1/3 of the screen

[ivory storm]

2 DIFFERENT WORLDS LOL WHAT

[keen thorn]

Wait

This is a good idea

X axis is raw power

[foggy sable]

good/bad and fun/not fun

[keen thorn]

Y axis is skill needed to get the best use

[ivory storm]

Start cooking Genio

I know you will

[keen thorn]

Can't rn

[shrewd nymph]

So skill floor skill ceiling in a sense

[keen thorn]

It'd be in my computer

[subtle glacier]

bingy is good and fun and requires skill

[foggy sable]

true

[keen thorn]

I can say the corners tho

[shrewd nymph]

You could finally rank fury flukes oh my

[keen thorn]

Wait uh

What is skillful but bad

[copper spruce]

[stray void]

Mobile player is so powerful lol

[subtle knoll]

ok this is the alignment chart

[ivory storm]

It took me years to realize this guy has horns btw

[real otter]

i just had a seizure what is ts

[subtle knoll]

my tier list if it was an alignment chart

[tawdry magnet]

Thorns of agony is not that inhibiting

[real otter]

WHAT

[ivory storm]

Yes

[subtle knoll]

given that it completely changes my dodge timing i feel like it is

[civic temple]

At first i'm so struggling with the control, but after playing like one week, i'm getting used for it lol

[subtle knoll]

he had horns?

[twin raven]

I BEAT PATH OF PAIN

[civic temple]

Nice

[real otter]

also shaman stone is too powerful to be that high up + it costs the same amount as strength

[subtle knoll]

sawesome

[ivory storm]

Top 5 hk moments

[tawdry magnet]

Also whats with the graph just being wrong, why is hiveblood not on the same x coordinate as soul eater

[civic temple]

How many hours did you spent on that alone?

[real otter]

i lowkey quit at the final part cus i was so tired of doing it over and over

[subtle knoll]

its how i feel about the slots mostly

[twin raven]

[civic temple]

Average time

[hot moon]

[twin raven]

I just built up the courage to free ball it

[craggy kestrel]

[civic temple]

[subtle knoll]

five great knights lore:
ze'mer - widow (not that one)
dryya - dead
isma - is a tree
hegemol - patamas geo
ogrim - shit

[wintry plinth]

hegemol dead too

[vernal knot]

Nuh uh

[subtle knoll]

hegemol is sly

[civic temple]

Hegemol is unknown iirc

[wintry plinth]

fym nuhuh

oh wait fr??

[civic temple]

Or maybe sly?

Idk

[subtle knoll]

sly

[stray void]

Accept the truth he is dead

[craggy kestrel]

do not disrespect my precious poshanka woman

[stray void]

HE IS DEAD

I guess

Or he is sly....

[subtle knoll]

sly has big nail, the ones he trained have similar build to hegemol's armor, he is small enough to pilot the armor as the maggot did, he is funny, he is too goated not to have been a great knight.

[tawdry magnet]

#6: Zote - Is the goat

[subtle knoll]

zotegoat is the zoteboat dlc

[stray void]

Hegemol is zote for sure

[quaint geyser]

Zote cameo in sea of sorrow pls

[zinc moon]

hegemol is dead

[subtle knoll]

sea of sorrow is unfortunately gonna be mostly underwater i think

[zinc moon]

he had his shit STOLEN

[subtle knoll]

no proof btw

[craggy kestrel]

zoteboat > sea of tomorrow

[stray void]

There's no proof

[zinc moon]

hes not letting a lowlife steal his shit

[subtle knoll]

when he sleeping yeah

[tawdry magnet]

You think he hasn't mastered the ability to breath underwater?

[craggy kestrel]

what do u think it was gonna be 😭

[subtle knoll]

but zote is in a boat

[zinc moon]

what are you as one of the two only great knights remaining doing SLEEPING

[subtle knoll]

not a submaroat

[quaint geyser]

Subzotemarine

[tawdry magnet]

Submarine boat

[subtle knoll]

sotemarine

zoatmeal

[craggy kestrel]

I think you misunderstand that zote has mastered every ability possible in the entire universe.

[tawdry magnet]

Zote is a Tibetan monk

[zinc moon]

where did the zote glaze come from

[craggy kestrel]

zote

[sacred jacinth]

why do people think dealing with primal aspids are so hard

[subtle knoll]

no idea but its practically confirmed

[keen thorn]

@ivory storm

I think something like this

[sacred jacinth]

I thought they would do like double damage after all this buildup but then I can just do a short jump

[fiery trench]

Welp, it took me 3 tries, but I beat Colo 1 with old nail and gun
it sucked

[tawdry magnet]

Skillful?

[keen thorn]

It needs skill to get the most value

[subtle knoll]

flukenest above fury of the fallen on skillful is insane btw

[keen thorn]

Vs you slot it in and it does what it should

[keen thorn]

Fury is just play hitless, flukenest requires learning a whole new playstyle

And play mostly hitless lol

[craggy kestrel]

would yall remove primal aspid or great hopper. I personally pick great hopper

[subtle knoll]

dont remove great hopper... just send it to the fieriest pits of hell to burn for all eternity

[craggy kestrel]

valid

[subtle glacier]

i need primal aspid for wingless brand

[subtle knoll]

flukenest replaces 1 spell...

fury of the fallen is DODGE EVERYTHING OR YOUR FUCKEDDDD

[copper spruce]

Voidheart in detrimental

[keen thorn]

It's just hiding all the duplicates I put in and couldn't delete later...

[copper spruce]

Skill issue

[subtle knoll]

you remove a somewhat useful charm for something that makes 1 enemy not attack you and unlocks an ending

[copper spruce]

Somewhat useful?

[keen thorn]

Yeah and that spell replaced is hard as fuck to play optimally

[subtle knoll]

passive soul regeneration can be useful for exploration

[zinc moon]

voidheart does nothing does it not

[keen thorn]

And is just as overpowered if not more than fury

[quaint geyser]

??

[subtle knoll]

i dont use vengeful spirit pretty much ever

[zinc moon]

doesn't it cost four notches?

[subtle knoll]

five. overcharm yourself NOW

[keen thorn]

It makes siblings and tendrils not engage with you, shade dies in 1 hit and is passive, and allows entry into P5 and Radiance

[craggy kestrel]

vengeful spirit is a fill in spell only for early mid game tbh

[keen thorn]

You clearly don't know how true Flukemest works

[copper spruce]

[zinc moon]

i mean outside of endings and one area you'd never go back to

[proven bramble]

chat i found pop 🙂

[keen thorn]

It is much harder to use Flukemest optimally than to play fury

Fury is easier hitless

[copper spruce]

Genio this is a hill to die on

[keen thorn]

And in pantheons you get lifeblood anyways

[keen thorn]

What?

[subtle knoll]

yes, BUTTTTTTTT i feel like having to no-hit everything for a damage boost isn't as easy as boohoo my vengeful spirit is a bunch of worms now

[keen thorn]

Oh

[civic temple]

Nice, now do it

[quaint geyser]

Loss

[keen thorn]

[proven bramble]

how optional is pop

[keen thorn]

Flukenest is not woohoo my vs is a bunch of worms

[subtle glacier]

completely

[civic temple]

Just for 2 second cutscene, idk

[proven bramble]

if i dont want to continue doing it, can i just go back

[quaint geyser]

Absolutely necessary

[keen thorn]

Flukemest is a tactical nuke

[quaint geyser]

No

[keen thorn]

And if you do it wrong you ruin the world

[subtle glacier]

if you don’t wanna continue doing it you can go die

[proven bramble]

alr chat im doing it for the plot

[keen thorn]

Not really, this is ignoring prime flukenest

[craggy kestrel]

flukenest would make any pilgrim bug from pharloom disintegrate from disgust.

[keen thorn]

Regular flukenest is
A) not that great
B) not that hard to use

[dawn tulip]

I'm boutta fuck my desk bro I've been stuck on pop final section for 2 hours

[civic temple]

Gl if you wanna do it

[subtle knoll]

dawg what

[keen thorn]

Prime flukenest that abuses the glitched hitboxes is a whole other can of worms

[quaint geyser]

You are about to what?

[dawn tulip]

You heard me

[delicate cradle]

What is wrong with Zote...he is just straight up delusional....

If you dream nail him at Deepnest you find that he actually thinks he is strongest

[proven bramble]

chat this is gonna be a breeze 😃

[subtle knoll]

so glitch abusing.... is more skill than essentially making every enemy and boss radiant for a damage boost,,,

[dawn tulip]

If I don't finish pop in the next 30 minutes km gonna

[subtle glacier]

glitches are very skill intensive

[quaint geyser]

This message implies he isn’t?

[civic temple]

I hate zote cuz of his ego :p

[dawn tulip]

He is tho...

[craggy kestrel]

git gud 👍

[quaint geyser]

Zotegoat

[keen thorn]

Without multihits it'd look something like this

[craggy kestrel]

zotebloat

[subtle knoll]

not rescuing zote actually makes the game 687.2254% better btw

[quaint geyser]

Zoteboat

[worn hamlet]

abszote

[delicate cradle]

Yeah, I know the inside joke. But he belongs in psychiatric ward.

[subtle glacier]

shaman unskilled is sad

[keen thorn]

Yes. Contrary to popular belief, glitches are hard

[civic temple]

For make pantheon 5 easier yeah not saving zote is the best choice

[proven bramble]

chat how far apart are checkpoints in pop

[foggy sable]

it kinda is just + damage

[craggy kestrel]

absolute radiance + gruz mother = absolute shit

[delicate cradle]

Me too. I save your ass and then he gets angry at me. But I felt bad for him when he was trapped in collesum

[quaint geyser]

Yes

[keen thorn]

Shaman doesn't increase the skill ceiling of spells

[civic temple]

Not too far but have to suffer a bit

[keen thorn]

The skill to use shaman is the skill to use spells themselves

[subtle glacier]

yeah ik it makes sense
vs/shade soul are like the only skill expression lanes in shaman

[delicate cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/weapon-hornet-hollow-knight-silksong-attack-gif-17318866

[copper spruce]

Grubsong is that high

[keen thorn]

And not even that much

It just makes double hits easier to land

[subtle glacier]

i would say it is for a few bosses

[subtle knoll]

yes but just abusing a glitch to shred things is a little different than painstakingly dodging every attack like the whole game is on radiant

[subtle glacier]

horizontally dashing bosses with shaman

yummers

[keen thorn]

True!

[delicate cradle]

Shaman crest is really strong but only healing while on ground not good...

[subtle glacier]

hive knight bv lk thk triples so peak

[keen thorn]

THK tirples?!

[foggy sable]

flukes is much harder to use

[subtle knoll]

shaman stone, not shaman crest

[worn hamlet]

thk triples make sense

how do u go about hive knight triples?

[copper spruce]

You're kinda overestimating how easy it is to dodge like 80% of the bosses

[keen thorn]

As I said, abusing this glitch is harder than just doing hitless, because it's significantly easier than regular hitless

[subtle glacier]

double into stagger

[worn hamlet]

oh so luck

[delicate cradle]

Just use hiveblood you won't die. Also use quickslash, mark of pride. If you still have 1 slot. Use the one where you get soul when you receive damage.

[worn hamlet]

I thought it was an on command triple

[subtle glacier]

or counting
