So i WILL be doing pantheon runs
pLATINUM
yeh we all start somewhere
I’ve done everything possible in my first blind play through so far
For that i just need to do the invincibility glitch
Or get gud..
thats the bad way
I cant play hollow knight for 90 hours
I’ve already done 11
yeh but WHAT S THE point
For soul master
Im a Completionist only when it comes to games I like and this one had earned it
of doing it with invincibility
Im a platinum collector
i think i got the wrong broken vessel chat ✌️
Me and my friend have made a bet
So am I
😭 i refuse the service to help u if ur gonna cheat
wat even is a platinum
Whoever has more platinums gets elden ring for free paid by the other
i think its completing a game like doing all achievements and all quests and stuff
Just like steam achievements if you get all achievements you get a plat it’s like bragging rights
And u bet your ass i will be getting a elden ring platinum as well
fuck a plat get weathered mask
The hardest plat I gotten was 100 percentage Bat Man Arkem knight
mask is time consuming
But Hollow knight might take that spot
Well, for now, I am enjoying the game. I am not planning to cheat until I beat the big ass bird like the angel or whatever that bird is and then I’ll do a run with like 112% and I’ll get the invincibility glitch
u better come back and do it fr one day
guys whats your favorite spell/nail art
vengeful spirit
shade soul
flukenest
desolate dive
descending dark
howling wraiths
abyss shriek
blades of sorrow
great slash
dash slash
cyclone slash
nail storm
I’m currently on Flower quest
fym BLADES OF SORROW
Ive done dead cells in less that 20 hours with 0 breaks one full sitting 2 days in a roa
I just need to do that get the last soul shard then I can finally beat the game for the first time
and nail storm
ddark
Dang nice
this some mod spell
So anyway
nah, no mod has this
That is nicely drawn
Is there like a way to cheese this boss
looks like thorns
nah i made that myself
Like anything helps
I dig the pfp
go on to the next game
Tf u mean dig?
No i still wanna finish it
he likes it
some weird thing that means he likes it
Oh thx
Ive Even calculated how much damage i need to do
Total hits
• Nail hits: 13 × 3 = 39 nail hits
• Spell casts: 13 × 1 = 13 spells
Total actions:
39 nail hits + 13 spells = 52 total actions
UMM persevere man i gave u a video and ur not telling ME NOTHING
Sorry 😅
not all spells do the same damage
I like it
Wait a vid?
yeh useless WAIT U HAVE 13 DAMAGE i thought u had 9 or 5
WHAT
Guys does nail arts not have recoil? Cycloning off the fluke mark doesn’t richot you off
Watch slow paced soul master by joeldk and millions of other Hollow Knight videos on Medal. #hollowknight
I have 5
ok at this point I don't see any point in trying to help further
from what I've seen it looks like we've done everything we can
you didnt know????? what did you think their upgrades were for
ur just going to need to either keep going or move on to another game
Happy New Year to everyone!
Even though I hate the whole world
@hollow tulip No problem i just didn't know what that meant
All good boss
How does he do this
Why isnt the boss teleporting away
oh i forgot to read anyways get nail upgrade 1
that's just how it is when a game has this level of difficulty
When he gets close
you either persevere and practice practice practice, maybe with some advice along the way
or you drop it and move on
persevere
What im noticing is that he stays in the middle
What the most annoying boss to yall? That wasn’t like hard or anything just annoying
u get my meaning though
MARMU
markoth
see those little observations
those are the most important thing you can do
to continue progtressing until you beat the boss
Also what tf is that lucky patern he gets such little boss runs accross the room thats mostly what kills me
elder hu
also try and REALISE u have PLENTY of time
markoth is more just hard then annoying
elder hu genuinely makes me rage for how easy and annoying he is
Valid
anyways I gtg now bai chat
Bye
ok marmu ab
bro marmu does not deserve to be this annoying
Hmmm
its the only BOSS THATS PURE RNG
and
Is there like a charm i should be using?
sometimes
wat are u using
its so easy but took me like 3 tries cuz you basically cant heal unless you use shape of unn + quick focus synergy
marmu. binding runs left me traumatized. also uumuu
uumuu isnt too bad if you have soul eater
True
The one that gives u extra soul on hit and the one that lets u cast more on a full soul meter
show pictures of your charm loadout
yeh but its easy but the only boss u cant really get better at in r5 its probably a fucking nightmare
uummu in pantheons
spell twister and soul catcher
still tho not too bad
could be soul eater
I only have these + dash master
he is way to early
what im i gonna do fight the sun? (but in steel soul mode)
dam jsut keep thsoe equipped
Well ima head out
wtf are you cooking
What 😭
Remember reality is an illusion the universe is a hologram Buy Gold Byee!
gl to me
good luck, btw if you wanna 112% rad is not required
2 of those are basically on the way the only charm you went even out of the way for is spell twister
bro do you not have shaman
quick focus
grubsong
fury of the fallen for gods sake?
most people miss that
like second best charm in the game its only 220 geo in salubras shop
im not doing 112% im skilling issueing
not real steel soul
Who is salubaras
what boss are you on rn?
Soul master
i alr got the achievements for steel soul and 100% steel soul
how did you get there?
City of tears
so
yeh faor
did you do the mantis lords?
Whats that
Bro what are u talking about
we need backup
What leg eater
HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET TO FUNGAL WASTES BRO 😭
WE NEED BACKUP
I went to the mushroom fungal city or wtv did the explosion pogo
mf did like 2% of the game 😭
also who is lemm
By going the other way?
i personally got to fungal wastes through fog canyon on my first play through
no no no how did you get there from queens station?
relic seeker lemm?
I genuinely have no idea
What's the problem
this guy has 3 charms and is on soul master
dont do that
His name is Lemme (dunno why the e isn't there), but he's the guy that buys your relics in City of Tears
You never have to pass leg eater to get 109% Im pretty sure
But idk where else to go 
dAm
Yeah he gives you shit tons of Geo
search up tutorials if you need, but like 112%s normally juust skip over most of the game and come back to it later. i had like at least 10 ish charms at soul master
its not lemme
4 Hallownest Seals is automatically paying for Lamp
Well shit, I've just been gaslighting myself
Oh my days what
How does that even make sense
Not absurd at all
idk they come back with like better mobility?
do you know what a grub is
ANOTHER BIG IMPROVEMENT! I'm still ways away from world record, but using new strategies such as Overcharmed Pantheons with Flukenest, I've taken back the competitive top 3 spot! Recently, I've been very inspired to try to take my speedrunning to a higher level, and actually grind for really good times, and it's really paid off! I'm really excit...
I was following this route
I was on my own till hornet
why would you follow a 3 hour 112% bro
thats so fast
Yeah that's generally what they do.
yeh fUCK THIS bro UR NOT READY
just skip soul master for now
Yeah i thought wow full game in 4 hours ill just do it in 9 and have the game done
YEH no
ok so you want 112%?
(Im currently in my 12 hour)
i can help you
Yes
Hah
Requirement for platinum
ok so show me your map of city of tears
Literally just explore. Btw soul masters perfectly achievable for you
So i may have had 3000 geo and…
dont have it? show me a picture of where you are at least
Ok the bench
i will help you get stuff so you can easily kill soul master
do you have the map
No geo
Wait i dont have my ps5 up
if you did he will be there aurafarming
you can do that
NO
so basically dont watch a 112% speedrun lol
👍
i might just be the first person to die to first crawler bug
Black
whichever sits better in your hands
Uhhh. I may have died to it. Several times. When you aren't looking at screen it's quite easy
so it should look like this where you are
yeh it looks to wat i know as an xbox controller but for playstaion
Uhhh
its silksong
DOESNT MATTER
hehe
No
Not each button distinguished
i will summon the brigade
ask the silksong players not hollow knight
You didn't warn it was Silksong spoilers
because i am too broke for ss
fax
What is this place
not my fault you need help killing the ||silksong||
its a joke
Also shouldn't anyway
just take a pic of screen
Kk
One you should delete now
move to the left a bit
Yes
even worse it has not usefulness
Wait i can actually show u
Legitimately I think you should just explore on your own
Your not in an area it's absurd to be in with little equipment
Nvm
No please
BROo
Dont do this to me
u SHOULD
go to the left a bit more so i can see something
whats happening?
lemme help this guy get some good charms
That's whoever you encounters problem
U just wana see Zote
go that way
is NKG or pure vessel harder
he want to get platnums for shit tons of games to win a bet RIGHT but he aint willing to put the work in and PLAY like a normal player
Pure Vessel
Down or left
im bringing him to dirtmouth stag
pv
goofy ahh question
What good charms are there this early
so he wants shade soul now
ive never beaten pure vessel but nkg made me mad
shaman stone
he hasnt beaten soul master
so
no
5 nail damage
why
watched a speedrun guide
is he aware of nailsmith?
I am aware
go up
Just
No idea where it is
bottom left of city of tears
I died
Ehh for a starting player it's not so good imo but fine get him the if you sacrifice survivability the enemy dies 40% faster charm
i have drunk more water in the past hour then in the previous 11
To spears
nkg is harder then pure vessel i think
Flys
nkg gets easier MUCH FASTER then pure vessel
like
its easier
to get good at
Disagree but okay
yea but like first time i thought nkg i didnt even touchj him but pure bvessel i got him to half hp
Man I love when my modded Pure Vessel just decides to become invincible
What?
whcih one
guess u just got good faster
like its not the same
Infinity
it changs
dam
But like it's not objective at all
Whats this tree
i mean
u cant deal with it rn, dw bout it
for later
im 111 pertcent and its time for flower quest 🙁
Ok
objective means factual or concrete, you probably mean subjective
OH
thats true
m
b
flower quest isnt hard, just annoying
im bad with words
ur good cro
Up here?
Where am i even going
soul master
presumably to a stag
no
thats the other way
stag
Some route that needs more money than that
Apparently
So?
well yeah stag and elevator cost money
The apparently was the disappointment at where they were told to go
Crome wanted to help them get more charms, but idk where he went
Like 100 I think
Yeah but he forgot about money costs I think
No idea wherw that guy is
The stag costs somewhere between 70 and 150 I'm pretty sure
Down from bench
what is the beste speedrunning route for 5h achievment
im gonna be right back im restarting my computer
I can say mine but idk what optimal
Not dying and doing watcher knights access pogo skip. :)
VS to dash to claw to dnail to lurien to cheart to monomon to deepnest to THK
You know the stag. Just keep going left
dying in one area is optimal
stag is right, elevator is left
I think for 5 hours it's more pain than worth
What foes the elevator do
I was leading to elevator to check it's cost
blue lake shade skip isnt that hard
Get you to crossroads
uhhhh im at sly
Oh
hello am back
in p3
brings u up to crossroads
Wow
welcome back
Easiest skip so far
do u have gpz or not? do u know
Still. I don't think it's worth it for 5 hours but I admit that's pretty subjective
he’ll swing thrice and then u attack twicd
i do
AHHHHHHHHHRIAJSIodsgjohjld
u good?
I think only skip worth it in 5 hour is watcher knights pogo
just try get consistent with gpz and all other bosses in hog and if u struggle on some practice harder
It also gives you a vessel fragment
my EHEAD PHONES ARENT FUCKING working
Elevator or stag?
sly
im talking about sly
First
vator
I think elevator here
You just going to pick up one charm and go back really
Okok
yeh patience and practice try and only get 1-2 hits or great slash
sly attack thrice, u attack twice, and dont parry any nail arts
If you can afford it. But you need like 200 spare geo soon.
im kinda scared
Personally I would say just fight soul master until you win
For what
The thing chrome was leading you to. ||Shaman stone||
The longer I fight Infinity, the more I question how tf this fight was deemed possible, before remembering it was designed with qs anim. cancels in mind
Ohh ok
Are you using quickslash at all
ha ha, no
Ok I won't judge bad charm decisions I'd be a hypocrite
Good luck
thanks, imma need it
@trim schooner
NOO I DIED IN PHASE 2 FUCKKK
teach him
pure vessel teach him ur ways
oh shit he sleeping
I’ll keep dying till I dont
also he already helped
lol
Go right until you can't
theres I think a vessel fragment left of where the elevator brings u, and a charm seller is to ur right
Sorry if I misremembering any maps
Oops
Provided should grab fragment first
I mean going to Salubra isnt a bad idea
Yeah they can get it on the way back
they should make it so the bindings are easier to be noticed while ur doing it like somwehre on ur screen
nail and charm
specifcally
Im at the slug
No money
I guess i need to farm the guards right
The big guarf
Guard
That drops 50
Bet
So quick focus
And ?
Shaman
All the charm notches presumably
as many as u can get
The idea was shaman stone but both are good
Which will be just one
You can't get more than one notch anyway
salubra has almost a monopoly over the charm notches
Not enough charms
Whattt
Oh
Yeah ur right
I need to get more charm
I need 21 more
ONWS WINGLESS SOUL TYRANT MY HEART IS FUCKING RACING
ggs
u doing a speedrun?
which guard?
near the crossroads stag in the room before false knight
oh those guys
Yeah ur right
How do i get there again
no this is just a playthrough to get used to keyboard and do r1-5
Again really suggest you just explore but it's up as far as you can then left I think
When are they adding a stag station in Trou
y wingless
theres a second one if you go one room up, one room right, and then take the top right transition
but I'm also doing onws soul tyrant tmg and lost kin with tmg being hitless
Okay thanks
yea but it's inneficient
extra challenge
from salubra, left, up, top left
fair
I think that's further but I don't know for certain
it goes from salubra to the one with the aspid, the hatcher, and leaping husk, into the room next to stag, into the room with the guard
u could say im praticing for r5 ( yeh but im still ass )
Doesn't help me much which ones further false knight or grub I think it's grub
But I don't count rooms well
did you guys know, the hollow knights second name is silksong
no
yes
no
got a new pb. 1/3 of the health bar depleted
yes
How do i make him respawn again
bench
Nice
There's one nearby
Where
the longer I fight them, the more attacks I thought I had to ddark through I can parry
To the room right then down to next entrance and left
from where u are, one room right (room should be a vertical one) and take that rooms bottom left area
Ohhh
Yes i remember
Next to that mosquito
I used that allot because i tried false knight for like 4 hours
wish me gl
gl for?
ab marmu
ah. gl cro, and thx for the help
i didnt really help u tho
ok i healed for nosk soi should be fine
Ia there no faster way?
Like
A hidden room or something
I havent been here
Since fungus
So all the wall jump stuff are still here
FAX
How Infinity is going (sorry for lag if there is)
ur doing boundless infinity i see
Up slash has become my absolute goat
n ice im focusing so i cant watch
thats better if anything, cuz its so laggy its probably just gonna show the death
Couldn't get cornifer's humming tune out of my head so here's a remix
sheo
Impressive
Nothing?
well ur options are a bit limited rn
A faster way for what
Geo
Exploring and having fun so you forget about the time
But no not without more other progress
holy shit (lot of lag at the start but then its good)
Let's goooo
life blood unlocked
May need it for P3
fax
ggs
if u have gpz, u should
i got gpz so yeh
Fair. I can't do either so tell me your strategies once you finish
wat
oh
idk
man
why zote is so op 
...
My best is sentinel in P3 and then I couldn't get past galien. All bindings is thoroughly unfun for me so I want to not have to learn strats myself
real shit
Oops
9 min till new years
And im here playing this hahahah
No regrets
Happy new year everyone
real shit
p1 and p2ab were kinda easy for me, and then p3 kicked my ass so hard I left to go practice
Happy new years for u
P1 ab is fairly easy (source I first tried it before doing P4) but the difficulty increase between 1 and 2 was very annoying for me
How much wads the first notch again?
And 3 is hell
fair
100?
Happy new year
at this point tho, I’ve sidetracked so far I’m fine leaving those as they are
lol
I dont think beating Infinity can be considered training for p3ab
Okay. I keep seeing p1-5 what are those?
Pantheons, or boss rushes, with a new boss at the end of each one
Ah
p5, or Pantheon of Hallownest, having every boss, although 2 bosses get new forms in them, in addition to the new boss at its end
go kill Soul Master
Im pretty sure im still not strong enough
So these pantheon sound kinda challenging
When I say kinda, I mean very
You remember the gruz mother boss?
Finished it
he’s been to salubra
Go all the way to the right if you have the geo
Im literally there
Ah I reread, yeah, they have quick focus
sly should have some, and if you dont have Mark of Pride, you can get that
Csnt u find notches on map?
Whats those
not the in game one
that tells me enough
remember the area u got wall jump in?
that area has a boss. u beat them yet?
I THINK one patheon ab a day keeps the r1 - 5 away
Not sure
cant go insane too fast, am I right?
Dont think so
go beat em up
Yeh
they guard a charm
Location?
from where u got claw, down
not really, but it will provide a challenge
u should be fine tho
theres a bench and a charm nearby them
alr, well I gotta lock back in
👍🏻
CHAT
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
Happy new year
Guys I just died on the last phase of AbsRad in the pantheon 😭
Hny
happy new year
I was doing so good but SOLD climbing to the top 🥀
Whats this
Ohh
It's the lid of a broken grub jar
A portal to the other world
You need a key first don't worry about it
Who tf is this
what if an earthquake hit hallownest
The final boss
your worst nightmare
What
the most difficult boss in the game
Wait seriously?
Oh hell naw
Does the elder bug give anything interesting?
Like if we give him something
He gives lore snippets
Snippets?
Well done champ
like liittle bits of lore
small amounts
Bits and pieces of the lore
HAPPY NEW YEAR MY FRIENDS
As well as hints to where you should go next iirc
I am stealing this image
stinky
Ohh ok
its an old meme so its fine
Youll get over it. Make sure to practice a lot before retrying
Thanks
Should i be buying it?
Give it to the person behind the locked door all the way to the right of dirtmouth to have him teleport your shade there
Ohhh ok
its only 60 geo it will come in handy later
It's still 2025 for me
how long do u got before 2026
Just under 8 hours
2026 im evil asf now
I got one more hour
Gives you AK47 without a magazine, useless
It has a lock tho
Havsnt showered since last year😂
my first item in this randomizer seed 🙂
Should i try this
You can open it eventually
How?
I’d advice removing thorns
Key
Where
Why
Its my build agaisnt the hollow knight
simple key, u can get one from sly
Either sly, CoT, Basin, or KE
thorns last so long u cant properly use your iframes after getting hit
the only good charm is like grimmchild and nailmasters glory
Does anyone have save of a bench before soul master fight?
I lost my Save File due to a harddrive corruption and I don't really wanna play ALL OF THAT again.
Please guys
collect 3 and it boost ur soul
collect 3 to get a mask
Get 3 for you to store 1 more spell worth of soul
sorry cro, I dont
Im kidding this is my actual build 💔
I added defender's crest as the 11th notch charm
smart choices
Those are mask shards btw not vessel fragments
Is the key even worth it?
Happy new year
Also
ik i was trying to do the same that happened in the message ill respond next
depends on how often u die and how often u bench
I love nail fighting, so there's no spell buffs
The NPC behind the door is not worth spending your first key on
.
correct
Like on the right
But the key is worth it
which ghost?
They might be talking about resting grounds shade skip
Where do i find fat big pink worms in the sewers
Where does that take u
oh blue lake shade skip
perfectly intended
deep
flukemungas?
I think so
Bottom left side of waterways
nearby the only bench, its down and then top left
theres alsi a miniboss if u take the bottom left route
Wait nvm, those are found from the bench go down, then to the left and break the ceiling
Uhh.... I think I'm gonna explore the rest of this area before going closer...
Happy new year
Wait, I went back to the Kings Cross Road and now im in some new place??
Definitely a boss fight
not like u can with the game shut behind u
The reward is worth it.
It isn't
happy new years
Go to the right for a breakable wall, so you don't have to go through the gauntlet of mawleks again
Should i explore hwre is there anything worth it ?
I assume it's something to help with vertical ascension due to how much I can't reach above me
No u should definitely get closer
huh. Anyways that boss guards double jump
Bingo!
Oh there literally isn't anywhere else to go
What is the godtuner bro
dw bout it
I'm in danger :)
It's useless.
Needs greed
nail art and a charm
I dont think greed is gonna be useful in the THK fight
Whats godhome !
Godtuner does nothing but say you beat a boss when you beat a boss
in the room u enter cliffs from, the nail art is towards the bottom, with a door
charm is 2 rooms later, in a chest
Ion wanna get lost
Nah super useful
Godhome contains boss rushes and the ability to refight bosses you have already beaten
Howling cliffs aren't that big
Can't let compass do all the carrying
forgot there was 2 charms
You should want to really. Getting lost is fun
Im looking it up rn yeah
YES
There is also a boss
Yep
Im 12 hours in
Gorb
Soo?
With 12% completion
I practiced him for hours lol but yea that last phase is crazy
there shouldnt be
It gets to a point
Cause yo utried following a 112% guide
It sure is
FIRST TRY BABY YEAH
Exploring and getting lost means you find things
Whats that last one how do i whoop his ass
BROKEN VESSEL BEAT
😭
mawlek, in crossroads
They make the platforms so small on the last phase and you can barely see them with everything going on
Last phase
IH WHAT THE HELL
THE MASTER IS SO COOK
COOL
I LOVE HIM
OMGGG
HAHAHHA SO CUTE
oh u found Papa
For last phase you can keep to the left platform and just circle left up right down while doing tiny bits of damage
Mato
OH THAT'S A BOSS THAT I'M ABLE TO DREAM NAIL
oh absrad is cool. they’re good boss
Here
Oh yes
Make sure you get the orbs outside of your screen so they despawn
still wish absrad had more shit to do though. this is why purity is top 1
I can refight grimm !
least life changing experience with Mato
Mato best nailmaster 🗣️
Whats purity
u can refight literally all bosses except for THk and her
Absrad best boss no unmodded competition I will not be convinced otherwise
Im gonna fight hornet
Also whats attuned and ascended
Cyclone is pretty good yeah
to each their own
Cyclone? Yes cause you can walk in prepared
You charge it up when you aren't able to hit the boss/enemy normally
And sometimes there's nothing else to do apart from charge
attuned is normal, ascended gives more Hp and 2x damage, and radiant is more hp and all OHKO
WHY DIDNT U TELL MEEE
I’d argue gpz is the better fight personally but yea
Also allows one or two skips but don't do it
Absrad is good
its not that good for soul master
I forgot you could reach cliffs before city :(
that one modded rad by ROT I keep shilling
remember
samsara
Why does everything including city of tears cost geo
got renamed to fit with inf pv
Also the thing you really need is in city
Eternity samsara (boss is boundless purity now) is sooooo fucking peak it's such a good boss. play it without strength or ddark i promise you the experience is infinitely better.
I was gonna put a taishi song over this clear originally but my software was being a bitch about it, so no taishi song actually!
dead guy
Does the statue do anything
Thats very terraria
later
Anwsered your own question
cuz one lore accurate fight wasnt enough
I got a new laptop and some robux, BUT I HAD TO SHOP FOR 7 HOURS STRAIGHT
...
yeah ur right
it’s insanely good though
purity is top 1
Is it bad that I’m still looking for healing attacks against Infinity
Should i try and pogo this?
Seems like such a fun boss. Sucks that I won't be able to fight it as I suck at the game
yea tbh
fuck you p3
oh
u can heal on like one attack and that’s it
No, come back here later
ur better off being consistent
Quick question what happened to this 🛶
what
i dont understand
A not so good charm
thats what I’m aiming for
i beat p3
oh nice
Healing being impossible sounds like such an oddly cool decision
ow my head
w modder
ggs. Now to each binding
Ohh ok
Rather go p4
it hurts my soul
I mean that doesnt look like a boss to approach before p5eb minimum
But hard to say they just test different skills
And i got no clue been a year since i played sob
R3?
Unmei 
Ridonculous suscat spawn
p
SoB isnt that bad, just a trial of speed
New pfp looks bussin
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
im dying
I thought this was about #hk-discussion message
It’s this plush my friend made for my OC
Oh whatt
why
Thats so dope
tired
No thats like so cool lol
