[wary hound]

path of pain

[winter eagle]

the knight is hornet theory

[wary hound]

grimm troupe up to u but i reccomend after

[wary hound]

lol

[jade beacon]

ik theres like a boss guarding each one but which one has the hardest boss

[river jacinth]

[wary hound]

[jade beacon]

[wary hound]

[jade beacon]

yo gaj profile pic????

[wary hound]

gg

[sly mango]

Man I keep getting cooked at soul masters second phase, I'm already on attempt seven

[cosmic rampart]

Use dash bro

And stay in the middle

[mild sorrel]

i cried after i sat with him and got a achievement called witness

this is my first gameplay

[sly mango]

I'm trying 💔

[blissful thistle]

mr mushroom solos fiction

[mild sorrel]

for the 2nd phase try to dodge more often

[cosmic rampart]

It helps to kite him all the way to one side then the other side, so you don’t get wallpinned

[potent monolith]

I am liberated

[cosmic rampart]

If we talking about the dives

[river jacinth]

he’s not dead iirc he just left hallownest but that gutted me too my first gameplay

[wary hound]

after how long

[keen thorn]

When you see him spawn jump a bit and then dash

That's extremely safe and easy to pull off

He does teleports at a consistent timing so you can very easily get used to

The offset and fakeouts should be your main concern

[mild sorrel]

have you ever dream nailed him because when dream nailing he says i am old and have enjoyed this whole world.... just dream nail him

[sly mango]

Thanks, the fakeouts are awful

I'll get his pattern eventually

[mild sorrel]

i must be the most broke hollow knight player

[keen thorn]

Yes

[cosmic rampart]

I dash last second lol

[keen thorn]

Although I don't remember how to dodge fakeouts with the simple strat

[cosmic rampart]

I play it close

[wary hound]

nice

[mild sorrel]

i died like 7 times so yeah just see his patern

[potent monolith]

this rando has taught me a lesson about preemptively killing all enemies

[wary hound]

wym

[potent monolith]

one missed enemy pogo and it's a trek back from the bench

[mild sorrel]

how do you check this

[wary hound]

YO BROODING MAWLEK GAAVE ME DNAILL

[keen thorn]

Huh???

You have 2 dreamers and 0 godhome seconds

How did you beat the game

[wary hound]

OMG

crossroads is stacked in my rando

[mild sorrel]

yo guys at which place did you sped the most time

[wary hound]

godhome

[keen thorn]

Godhome

[potent monolith]

idk which mod is this exactly

[keen thorn]

I very likely have like 600 Godhome hours out my 900

[jade beacon]

its my first time playing can you tell me what part of hallownest thats in without spoiling anything pls

[mild sorrel]

myne is probably fungal wastelands ( I still did not beat the game my first gameplay)

[mild sorrel]

blue lake

[vernal prairie]

https://youtube.com/shorts/ECEHt6YnLf0?si=D4KcSom-HmaMi0EM

[wary hound]

bro i have gotten ddive monarch wing pale ore kngs brand simple key dnail arcane egg all in crossroads

[potent monolith]

I envy your rando lol

[jade beacon]

greenpath right?

[mild sorrel]

no resting grounds

[potent monolith]

I had to go through hell with only wings & wraith for the majority of the time

[jade beacon]

ohh

thanks

[mild sorrel]

its like mid game you need like mantis claw or acess to city of tears

[eager vale]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1444349382609604859/1455525765721489552/togif-1.gif

[wary hound]

same on my last rando too me like 7 hours for monaarch wings ( took me 8 for true ending )

[keen thorn]

I once did a rando with Hunters Journal, Breakable walls and Godhome randomizer

I can say, it sucked

[jade beacon]

i have it unlocked already

im already mid game i js needa beat 1 more dreamer

[mild sorrel]

oh then go to sabucha shop in crossroads and mantis claw on the wall and there is a secret passage

[wary hound]

salubra

[potent monolith]

I even had to do shits like this because I didn't have dash for so long

[mild sorrel]

i need 2 more dreamers

[jade beacon]

which ones

[mild sorrel]

path of pain 2.0

[wary hound]

OH LOL

[mild sorrel]

the teacher

[wary hound]

wait can u give me all mods u have and settings i want this peaknes

[jade beacon]

oh

the city of tears one isnt that bad

[keen thorn]

Glory of being a fool randomizer

[jade beacon]

watcher knights are hard but i suggest just using nail charms and spamming lol

[wary hound]

most likely cause ur nail is better than wat i got their with

[potent monolith]

I'm pretty sure I just use the default rando settings with experienced skips

[mild sorrel]

nah spamming required for broken vessel

[wary hound]

oh and i can do them pretty easy now

[jade beacon]

i alr did broken vessel

[mild sorrel]

you 112% the game

[wary hound]

yeh

[jade beacon]

hot take but for me personally hornet sentinel was harder than watcher knights lol

[keen thorn]

Oh watchers watchers watchers

[mild sorrel]

did you play silsong yet

[wary hound]

do it with 1st nail upgrade lol

[wary hound]

a bit

[jade beacon]

lol

[keen thorn]

She's faster

[jade beacon]

yeah

[keen thorn]

Watchers are usually scary because of double boss

[jade beacon]

watcher knights have an easier pattern tho

[keen thorn]

But if you're used to that from other games I can see a lack of struggle

[jade beacon]

i just did fallen champion or whatever hes called the other day and damn that was hard

[mild sorrel]

k bye

[wary hound]

blue lake shade skip HERE I COME

[keen thorn]

Watchers have traumatized me enough tho

[jade beacon]

wait whats harder the dream nail broken vessel or the dream nail soul master

[keen thorn]

Every single challenge I play they ruin it

[mild sorrel]

sould tyrant

[keen thorn]

Eh it depends

[mild sorrel]

soul*

[keen thorn]

But probably most people will struggle more with tyrant

[keen thorn]

You should go back to that room

For no specific reason

[jade beacon]

bro ngl the worst part about deepnest is the music

[wary hound]

its not abd tho

[lone oracle]

my friend spent 35 hours on hollow knight and didn't even get Herrah because I'm giving him 40 sidequests every hour

like getting all charm notches

[wary hound]

LOL

[lone oracle]

he has lurien and monomon tho

and he can fight NKG

and has almost all of the map unlocked

including godhome just now

[jade beacon]

um guys

[wary hound]

bro is gonna get him everything but true ending

or ending

[lone oracle]

oh don't worry

he already has 1.8k essence

-# I made him fight every dream boss variant aside white defender

[jade beacon]

am i hallucinating chat

[wary hound]

[lone oracle]

unbreakable heart

[wary hound]

WDYM

"Hey bro you should put all your money on your bank account"

"Bro... i hate you"

[foggy sable]

https://youtu.be/mm12HqJqfhg?si=Q1A94-PJot5u3c24

[foggy sable]

Competence

[wary hound]

[wary hound]

[foggy sable]

It happened after all this time

[wary hound]

gj

[foggy sable]

I still have to get the other bindings......

[lone oracle]

[wary hound]

lol

[wary hound]

r5 is harder

then p5 ab

[lone oracle]

what's r5 im dumb

[wary hound]

hitles

p5

[foggy sable]

It was meant to be a quick attempt before I went to sleep

[lone oracle]

oh

[foggy sable]

But no

[lone oracle]

what the fu

[wary hound]

LOL

[foggy sable]

No sleep was had basically

[wary hound]

leave some skil for the rest of us

[foggy sable]

This was the hardest binding out of the way at least

[foggy sable]

But I need more

[wary hound]

lol gj i cant even do pantheon any binding

[keen thorn]

I don't think your chronic skill issue was healed

[wary hound]

so do i havent done p4 ab yet

[foggy sable]

I'll be changing my name when I next try pantheon things I'm sure

[lone oracle]

should i try R5 AB.

[foggy sable]

You'll get there soon enough

[foggy sable]

no

[keen thorn]

[wary hound]

[foggy sable]

P4ab might take a tad more time so just don't pressure yourself with 1 a day

[keen thorn]

Unless you're grey in which case P5AB = F5 = R5 = R5 charm binding = R5AB

[foggy sable]

The arrow lengths are the wrong way around

[wary hound]

yeh but wat bosses u reckon ot her than markoth i will struggle wiht

[foggy sable]

Failed champion

[lone oracle]

R5 CB <<<<< R5 AB

[wary hound]

FAIR

[foggy sable]

Charm binding took 4x longer than r5

[keen thorn]

More like

R5CB <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< R5AB

[foggy sable]

Looks about right

Although charm binding took 4 hours after a 3 month break

[wary hound]

shell binding in r5 wat am i doing here?

[foggy sable]

(and like 200 before that)

[keen thorn]

Why do people get good with breaks

All I get is mental breakdowns

[foggy sable]

Turns out the method before of not doing practice was a bad idea

I didn't even download godseeker+ until a charmless 2 hit

Anyway, practice good

[keen thorn]

I was going to go on a mini Pale Shadow arc after my humiliation with anyrad

But R5 is calling me so much

Idk about soul binding that can die in a hole

[foggy sable]

why is r5 calling

[wary hound]

hollow knight practice like muscle work out if no rest day not way to sustain skill and strength

[foggy sable]

R5 sucks

[keen thorn]

It's just such a fun challenge, R5 is my friend and won't hurt me

[foggy sable]

It was mostly a mental issue because I was good enough back then

[wary hound]

really wat happened

[foggy sable]

Lies

[keen thorn]

Did you see what happened with my anyrad?

[tribal gust]

Hello guys

[foggy sable]

Doing runs like it is weird and you get hard stuck on weird things

[wary hound]

oh

[foggy sable]

Ascended oc?

[keen thorn]

Normal ascended

[foggy sable]

Ah yes I heard

gg btw

Nice typo

[keen thorn]

So I cleared yesterday (Dec 31) after a lot of RNG pain

[keen thorn]

Lol

I was so thrilled I got it just before new year and that it was finally over

My clear was spotless, one hit to bad RNG and just one mistake at the end of climb

Aaaannd I had 38 nail damage the whole time

[foggy sable]

Oh no

[wary hound]

oh

[keen thorn]

Yeah...

The worst thing is

I know that clear was doable regardless

[foggy sable]

Time to do it again

[keen thorn]

I played so well in spite of rng

[keen thorn]

NO

[foggy sable]

Yes

[wary hound]

yes

[keen thorn]

I really really don't want to go back

Such a bad challenge

And I cannot flicker so climb is part rng

[foggy sable]

Are you going for r5eb soon or silksong still?

[keen thorn]

Silksong got me tired

Imo not as engaging as hk

Unnamed will take my place

[foggy sable]

I realise I don't want to get eb

[keen thorn]

Yeah I don't think I want charm binding anymore

It's pretty boring

[foggy sable]

Waste of time now I have charmless

[keen thorn]

Yeah charmless is like

Much much harder than the other two

[foggy sable]

10 hours of time sink probably

For the others

Maybe time to get to non pantheon challenges

[wary hound]

i find it funny how i consider myself good bad

[keen thorn]

You could go for pale shadow

It's fun

[tall marten]

THE SHADOW CLOAK DODGES BULLETS‽

[keen thorn]

Good bad?

[foggy sable]

I want hitless overworld runs, some radiance mods, some collector challenges

[wary hound]

compared to the entire player base im good compared to the community player base im bad

as in

[foggy sable]

A sub 25 p5 maybe

[wary hound]

like commonly online

iima brb

[keen thorn]

I thought you hated collector

[foggy sable]

I will learn

[keen thorn]

I was doing 04 collector for P045

But it's getting stale

Although I know I'm improving

[foggy sable]

04 collector seems fineish

Just not r04

[steady flower]

hi chat

[keen thorn]

Pantheon challenges are just so much more engaging for me since a run takes so long I basically get one attempt per day

So I'm expecting to take a long while anyways

[foggy sable]

I might do anyrad tbh

[keen thorn]

Attuned is cool

[foggy sable]

If I can be bothered soon

[keen thorn]

Not much RNG and a lot of room for mistakes or unique styles

[foggy sable]

I might do any% hitless next tbh

[keen thorn]

If you're already good at the game attuned is actually kinda fun and doesn't need that much learning

[keen thorn]

Choom style 🦦

[foggy sable]

More bingy maybe

[keen thorn]

I have like 15 hours already

My PB is 92 hp

[foggy sable]

It is much easier than r5 iirc

[keen thorn]

Although I've cleared with 5 lifeblood

[foggy sable]

For normal 04?

[keen thorn]

Yes, so much easier

[rugged surge]

replaced hk ost with silksong ost

[crimson quiver]

I should probably buy a new controller because the joystick doesn’t let me down pogo sometimes

[rugged surge]

does this go in this channel or sk discussion actually

[foggy sable]

My best collector is a 2 hit attuned ono ab

[tall marten]

For the fury of the fallen charm, when it says "when close to death" does it mean one mask?

[foggy sable]

I haven't done anything since though

[keen thorn]

I think I can clear hitless attuned

It's not that bad

[crimson quiver]

Yes

[keen thorn]

But idc

[foggy sable]

ono ab though

[tall marten]

How much does it boost damage?

[keen thorn]

Yeah that's rough

[crimson quiver]

75% i think

[foggy sable]

It was a fun way to learn the movement

[keen thorn]

Idk if harder than reg 04 tho

[tall marten]

Hot damn

[foggy sable]

But that was the entire goal

[keen thorn]

Yeah that matters a lot

[potent monolith]

corni left me, and didn't even leave a note 😔

[crimson quiver]

Put that with unbreakable strength and you got some big damage per hit

[foggy sable]

but an ono ab clear took about 2 hours to get so was rough still

[wary hound]

back

[foggy sable]

yay

[wary hound]

u have an ab guide right do u have a sleep guide

[foggy sable]

no, I'm bad at that

[wary hound]

fair may i have a look at the ab guide

[foggy sable]

I'll link it here

[wary hound]

thx

[foggy sable]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qC88RU8IXwrY58MpmXZs14UO1ECRUqBTo12RDVIKIYE/edit?usp=drivesdk

[wary hound]

rhx

[keen thorn]

Discord glitched so hard

[foggy sable]

I like having a linkable guide it is so convenient

[keen thorn]

I forgot about that I'm sorry

[wary hound]

lol

[keen thorn]

How's it going

[crimson quiver]

It’s actually funny that there are only 2 bosses in the whole game that i still haven’t mastered yet

[hearty monolith]

go brute force

[wary hound]

which are

[crimson quiver]

First is absrad, since i never got past the other one: M*rkoth

[foggy sable]

It is pretty done, there is still stuff to add but is completely useable

[wary hound]

LOL

far

[keen thorn]

Alr

[wary hound]

U MASTERED MARMU

[keen thorn]

I'll get myself some time to read and refine anything

[foggy sable]

Mainly I need to add healing windows

[keen thorn]

It's actually not that complicated of a figjt

She's just janky

[crimson quiver]

Did it hitless on P5 with a stick drift

[acoustic void]

hello hk discussion

[foggy sable]

But I don't want to look at it, I got burnt out making it

[keen thorn]

Lol

Fair

[acoustic void]

people are slandering my favorite boss on ss discussion so i came here

[keen thorn]

Yeah it happens

You can't like a good boss smh

[foggy sable]

The entire thing was written in a week after finals

[tall marten]

I beat the hollow knight, where should I go?

[acoustic void]

into his head

[crimson quiver]

The reason i didn’t master m*rkoth is because of the pure randomness of the attacks…

[foggy sable]

Imagine what it is like being a oblobbles enjoyer

[keen thorn]

Get more stuff, explore more, do more quests

[tall marten]

I have been hearing of a godhome?

[acoustic void]

i enjoy the oblobllolblelsls

i never got to fight them tho

[foggy sable]

Good

[wary hound]

oboblbles are pain

[keen thorn]

GPZ, AbsRad and especially Markoth enjoyers in the corner

[foggy sable]

I like all of those...

[crimson quiver]

The reason why they are my 2nd most hated boss

[wary hound]

im not in the corner

[keen thorn]

Yeah we do

We're in the corner crying

[foggy sable]

Not many enjoy oblobbles though

[acoustic void]

my all time favorite boss has to be broken vessel

[keen thorn]

Because everyone hates them

[jolly bobcat]

Guys, if little ghost is hollow? How does he agree or disagree to things? Does he listen to prompts by fellow bugs and go on autopilot? How does he know correct currency exchange if he cant think?

[foggy sable]

Much rarer

[crimson quiver]

Mine is Pure Vessel

[wary hound]

IM outside pantheons and dont have toggleable bindings on

lol

[keen thorn]

Lol

[foggy sable]

Weird

[wary hound]

absrad is mine

[wary hound]

visual only

[potent monolith]

too op, got nerfed

[tall marten]

What is with that?

[keen thorn]

AbsRad of course

Unless we do charmless in which case it's GPZ

[crimson quiver]

I have to get past m*rkoth in order to test absrad

[foggy sable]

I don't like GPZ between full equipment and 04

[wary hound]

markoth aint that bad

[foggy sable]

It is a great boss at either end but not the middle

[acoustic void]

i never even got to fight the hollow knight

[keen thorn]

GPZ is my most consistently liked boss across literally all difficulties

Anywhere he's the goat

Including Itemless somehow

[acoustic void]

i still havent absorbed lurien in my save

[keen thorn]

Just not ir because it's rng

[acoustic void]

mind you i started in like 2021

[foggy sable]

I should do ip5 21 nail damage imo

[crimson quiver]

I hate bosses based on randomness… didn’t even find a single video with a strategy if we don’t count the "16 hits and then spam spells"

[keen thorn]

Well I don't do Speedrun gear so that one's missing

[keen thorn]

I was doing tyat

It's literally just absrad after a 50 minute cutscene

[foggy sable]

I know, I'm getting inspired to do it

[keen thorn]

Markoth is mildly hard

And that's basically it

AbsRad is evil

[acoustic void]

i also never fought markoth

[foggy sable]

Maybe taking a short pantheon break will be good though

[keen thorn]

Yes

[acoustic void]

the only dream warriors i beat were gorb and xero i think

[keen thorn]

And come back more motivated than ever

[acoustic void]

i forgot the name of the one in resting grounds

[keen thorn]

To get stonewalled by R5AB

[crimson quiver]

All that because of the floor

[foggy sable]

We don't talk about that

I will do p045 next before then

[subtle glacier]

grey

[jolly bobcat]

Its not random if you make it not random

[foggy sable]

choom

bingy arc soon

[subtle glacier]

otter wave

[keen thorn]

Well in Itemless Markoth as a whole is just a fucking nightmare
The platforms are awful the shield is awful the lack of ground is not your biggest concern
With 21 damage he dies quickly enough at least

[subtle glacier]

gif

https://tenor.com/view/otter-wave-hello-peekaboo-hi-gif-23094469

[keen thorn]

Markoth is the only possible irab that hasn't been done

[foggy sable]

Nice gif

[pliant bough]

🦦

[keen thorn]

🦦

[acoustic void]

sk discussion is in an ever looping state of slandering every single damn boss in the game

[jolly bobcat]

Only attack when you get an opening.

[tall marten]

What is the godhome i hear of repeatedly?

[keen thorn]

I am still considering it

I think I have decent consistency at P5 collector

[subtle glacier]

boss rush/repeatable boss fight area

[keen thorn]

But not good enough still

[idle belfry]

@wary hound heads

[foggy sable]

I want to learn collector for it

[tall marten]

So i am not quite ready for that

[wary hound]

lune tag dissapates today

[acoustic void]

basically you need to go into the sewers with a key, break a wall or smth, insert the key into a coffin in a junkyard and dream nail the fat fuck that plops out of the coffin

[keen thorn]

Aka the best part of the game

[subtle glacier]

ok genio

[keen thorn]

Ok choom

[foggy sable]

No 04r collector though

[tall marten]

I just beat the hollow knight with 57%, I am not quite ready for boss rushes

[keen thorn]

Part of me needs to finish that

Even if it takes 100 hours

[subtle glacier]

i got sub 50 on lines with collector today

[acoustic void]

is this explanation good hollow knighters

[crimson quiver]

I just need to find a strategy to beat him hitless until i can spam spells after 16 hits

[subtle glacier]

i love collector routing

[foggy sable]

Fun fact I did nothing in difficulty between r5 and r5 charmless

Technically

[keen thorn]

You want to hold a steady position in the platforms, do not chase or overcomit

[tall marten]

Hell, I beat it at 40 hours

[keen thorn]

Try to stay behind him as he moves away, and be ready to strike when he approaches you

[subtle glacier]

bit more than a wall but yeah

[keen thorn]

Just be very mindful of the shield

The left wall is bugged so nails can spawn off screen, beware

[tall marten]

And that was after I got shade cloak and learned it dodges through bullets

[remote imp]

hi

[tall marten]

Greetings

[keen thorn]

Try to not dash at random because a nail can spawn on you, so be mindful of when to switch platforms

[crimson quiver]

And i should avoid trying to get away from an attack just for a needle to spawn right where i go

[keen thorn]

There's like
2 things that are not other R5 challenges

[remote imp]

what boss are we talking about

[tall marten]

Should I go for the rest of the grubs on the collector's map?

[remote imp]

Ye sure why not

[keen thorn]

Nails spawn in a range, this range is big enough to get you with a dash or with a big jump

[hearty monolith]

ye

[keen thorn]

Just don't do sudden movements

[tall marten]

Plus, I think i need the pale ore

[foggy sable]

Doing no nail only or other bindings is a bit funny

[keen thorn]

Try to move slowly and only do it fast when a nail has already spawned

[crimson quiver]

You actually helped me more then any video i saw on youtube lol. Now i just need to buy a good controller

[keen thorn]

You also can abuse shieldspin

There are many ways like against a wall or the floor

I'll leave you this video of mine
https://youtu.be/1Nc_ybzQvQw

Grey if you also want to share

[crimson quiver]

I should make sure to put markoth far from the middle… he always does the spin there

[foggy sable]

I don't have a recording of it

[keen thorn]

The platforms work well too

[foggy sable]

Wrong window recorded sadly

[keen thorn]

You can get him stuck in them

And it actually works even better

[potent monolith]

slanted knight

[foggy sable]

I did have a black screen and markoth noises recording

[frozen hull]

Hellenio, Heyfire

[foggy sable]

hihi

[keen thorn]

But yeah, there aren't any good enough guides out there for vanilla, they are done by either people only seeking subs, or well intended people that just aren't that good to truly understand

[crimson quiver]

My hate on m*rkoth actually led me to the right path… i guess it was useful

[vernal knot]

Tilted towers

[keen thorn]

Especially for such chaotic bosses, where it can really feel you're just at the will of rng

[frozen hull]

I wonder how 2026 will go

[foggy sable]

You should turn the p5ab guide into a video

[keen thorn]

Hellizu

[frozen hull]

So inefficient

[keen thorn]

Why me

[potent monolith]

so slanted knight actually behave a bit weirdly when sliding down right walls

[frozen hull]

Me when Hizu

[foggy sable]

I don't want to is why

[keen thorn]

I am not a YouTuber

[wary hound]

Wat

[keen thorn]

Nooooo

[wary hound]

lol DOUBLE DOUBNLE JUMP

[keen thorn]

I actually got that once too

[foggy sable]

We should send it to a YouTuber then

[keen thorn]

Not for HK tho

[wary hound]

@trim schooner

this guy

i beliee in him

[foggy sable]

It wasn't a hard enough achievement to bother to redo either

So it is just unrecorded

[keen thorn]

Yeah I get that

[trim schooner]

why have i been pinged

[crimson quiver]

The ones i saw always said "there is no real strategy" or didn’t even talk (i learn by audition, that’s also why nosk isn’t too bad for me). Even that one youtuber i trusted didn’t give a real strategy

[foggy sable]

I should edit the charmless to remove pauses tbh

[wary hound]

i said so

[keen thorn]

I should do that to my R5

[foggy sable]

We are volunteering you to turn the p5ab guide into a video

[keen thorn]

I wanted to make a little supercut of R5 for my P5AB anniversary on Feb 6th

[foggy sable]

The recording is almost 80 minutes...

[keen thorn]

Lmao

[wary hound]

@trim schooner do this i believe in u

[foggy sable]

Half of which is at it or after the tyrant bench

[keen thorn]

Yeah.
It's just silly that the people that are the best at the game are the least noticed

Especially with godhome

[foggy sable]

Because I went and walked around for a bit

[trim schooner]

hell no

im making a boundless infinity guide

[keen thorn]

I think Leon is the biggest and most skilled player

[foggy sable]

Leon is very good

[keen thorn]

Yes

And he also has quite the following

Extremely sad what's happening with him

[foggy sable]

Yeah that does suck

[keen thorn]

I feel insanely bad for him

[trim schooner]

what happened

[shrewd nymph]

Military

[keen thorn]

He's getting drafted for training pretty much

For 2 years

Usual thing in Vietnam but so insanely punishing

[trim schooner]

oof

[foggy sable]

Most HK youtubers are former speedrunners so

[crimson quiver]

Now, i will just need to perfect the strategy until i can do it on P5 and finally test absrad

[keen thorn]

Yeah

That is true

[foggy sable]

There are a few short p5ab guides by godhome players

[keen thorn]

And the others that appear at random yapping about something are just casuals lol

[foggy sable]

Yep

You can get good single boss guides though

[keen thorn]

Yeah

[foggy sable]

Depending on where you look and which ones

[keen thorn]

Although most I've seen are very meh

Works for like, nkg or pv

[foggy sable]

But something like marmu not so much

[keen thorn]

But AbsRad or GPZ that are so complex

Clover made one a couple of years ago

But it's written

[foggy sable]

The p5ab guide has like 7 pages or more on it

[keen thorn]

There are more anyrad resources than absrad

[keen thorn]

Just 7?!

I was expecting more lol

But makes sense

[foggy sable]

More maybe I don't remember

About 2k words

[keen thorn]

Also there's the thing that making a good guide is hard

And most good players really don't want to

[tropic oak]

[foggy sable]

I only did it because exams just ended

[keen thorn]

Lol

[foggy sable]

And I wanted to teach one specific person the run

[crimson quiver]

The reason why i mastered GPZ quick enough is probably because that my brother made me test him when trying to convince me to play hollow knight (didn’t want to play at first but i couldn’t resist the temptation)

[wary hound]

how do i down patch hollow knight

[keen thorn]

Lol that boss for me was vfk

[wary hound]

with out fucking up a main save'

[keen thorn]

When I saw Zote getting eaten by Vfk I just yelled VFK and jumped right into the action lmao

I didn't notice Zote until Vfk died

[crimson quiver]

GPZ almost convinced me not to give the game a shot

[keen thorn]

Lol

[crimson quiver]

The only reason i accepted is because i beat false knight in 2 tries

[keen thorn]

Ah well it's really late

I'm gonna eep

[crimson quiver]

Good night ;)

[foggy sable]

oh

[tall marten]

Is radiance part of a dlc?

[frank estuary]

this is better

[tall marten]

I love this server's emoji

[wary hound]

no

[tall marten]

[rotund thorn]

[frank estuary]

no

iirc

[tall marten]

Where would one find radiance then?

[rotund thorn]

Get void heart

[frank estuary]

ikr

[tall marten]

[tall marten]

Isn't that the thing with the queen's garden?

[rotund thorn]

There's 2 fragments

One from white lady and one from white palace

Go to #hk-help

We talk

[tall marten]

I am asking because me no like queen's garden, I would rather be in deepnest

[frank estuary]

i mean it does'nt matter that much cause we still talking about hollow knight (though this is off topic v2)

[potent monolith]

this was a blast & painful at the same time

[tall marten]

I believe they are mostly doing it because of spoilers

[frank estuary]

ig yeah

mb

[tall marten]

I usually don't mind spoilers, but I think it might be best if others didn't

[ashen wren]

Queen garden

[tall marten]

I would rather be in deepnest

[humble python]

The white Palace is absolute BS

[wary turret]

fr

[frank estuary]

i mean i've been trying to avoid as many spoilers from skong as much as possible, but a few get leaked which make me confused

[frank estuary]

😭

Why tho? which part of it did you start hating (please don't say all of it)

[humble python]

The top left side with all the stupid fast blades that are all squished together

Im 26hrs into this game and what now it wants to be super meat boy

This place doesnt fit with the rest of the game.

[frank estuary]

ig the first time will def be hard both white palace and pop, but after a while, it becomes quite fun (that was the case for me)

[frank estuary]

I mean pale king def had some weird design choices with all the saws but other than that, its fits in quite well

[humble python]

Im talking about the gameplay. Im almost 30hrs in and they wanna make it a hardcore platformer.......

[frank estuary]

I mean its not mandatory and also white palace has some nice skips so its upto you

[warped siren]

ifl i don't actually know how to get better at absrad...

[shadow lily]

put them brightness down yo

[shadow lily]

its souls like and metroidvania, ofc thats gon be that

[gentle pulsar]

Ive never done the path of pain before and im trying to fight a bunch of dream bosses to get the essence I need. Why was I always so scared fo white defender? I beat him twice in a row 😭

[humble python]

@shadow lily The insane spike in how hardcore the platforming got is not in line with anything else in the game

Its honestly making me not wanna finish the game

[shadow lily]

Its not that cutthroat

[humble python]

This place just doesnt fucking end

[shadow lily]

thats why its hard
all metroidvania has that

[warped siren]

blud hasnt seen path of pain

[shadow lily]

people even beat pop with hundreds of immortal primal aspids 🥀

[hardy sage]

It’s optional content?

[shadow lily]

bro prolly talking abt the half of kingsoul

[hardy sage]

Oh

fair enough ig

[shadow lily]

even im having more difficulties to do abs rad climb than pop

[buoyant lagoon]

absrad loves firing light rays that predict your movement better than the pale king and his foresight ever could

[shadow lily]

ikr

[hardy sage]

Giving me visions of a horrible alternate reality where pop has player targeting sawblades

[shadow lily]

and u cant even heal 🥀

[buoyant lagoon]

you have to heal before starting the climb, her accuracy is really trash there

but i've had runs where it just so happens that she fires right at me while i'm healing

[shadow lily]

I mostly lost

cuz the platform

vanished after i healed

or maybe cuz its not in the middle of the arena

[hardy sage]

The art of faking her out is annoying to learn for sure

[shadow lily]

But when bosses leaps and land on u when ur running is the most annoying part

[serene galleon]

guys where do i unlock slash again?

[buoyant lagoon]

almost lost a steel soul run to nosk doing exactly that

tbf i'm extremely weak so i shouldn't be even fighting nosk but got cocky and almost lost the entire thing

[buoyant lagoon]

if u mean great slash, go see Sheo in Greenpath

[serene galleon]

and where is that

[hardy sage]

If you mean nailarts, the basic one is above the starting area

[shadow lily]

The only thing i hate abt nosk is that sudden runs

[serene galleon]

like what way

[fickle spindle]

i sent a vid on that earlier lol

[buoyant lagoon]

all the way to the left in greenpath, from the stag station go 1 room down and 1 to the left

[tropic oak]

here comes the sun

[shadow lily]

Actually let me try that

what mod is that in lumafly or if thats where it was

[hardy sage]

You’ll have to have crystal dash for to get there 👍

[buoyant lagoon]

funnily enough i have a lot of experience with bosses because of how many tries it took me to beat p5 but nosk is just not there

[fickle spindle]

idk

[buoyant lagoon]

so i was kinda clueless lol

[shadow lily]

thats the easier part, without it u rather pogo on the flying things

[shy patio]

I hate the pantheons with my heart
104% but oro and mato make me wanna kms

[shadow lily]

P5 nosk is much worse but good thing flukenest exist

[buoyant lagoon]

don't worry, it gets so much worse!

[shy patio]

I know

[hardy sage]

I started doing all binding pantheons before silksong came out to have something to do with myself 😔

[cloud tulip]

what is a good way to get essence? I need a lot for awoken dream nail

[shadow lily]

p5 markoth

[shy patio]

I dont know i'd probably fight hornet and the radiance, very fun fights

[shadow lily]

dream bosses + few dream warriors is faster

[shy patio]

Dream bosses

[ashen wren]

Have u reached God home

[shy patio]

Ye

I did radiance hornet

[shadow lily]

Damn even i couldnt do that

[cloud tulip]

ok

[shy patio]

Its easy her attacks are predictable

[shadow lily]

Im too used to fast paced fights bro 🥀🥀 my first radiant is abs rad, pv and nkg

[serene galleon]

here??

[gloomy pumice]

Have u reached pv

[buoyant lagoon]

ye

[shy patio]

Not yet

[terse magnet]

How do I fight this boss

[serene galleon]

uh what do i do

[gloomy pumice]

Kiss em

[buoyant lagoon]

do u have crystal dash?

[serene galleon]

theres literally nothing after the platform

[hardy sage]

Read all 57 precepts first

[shy patio]

You can't hes way too focused on his duty

[serene galleon]

nope

[gloomy pumice]

Of what

[terse magnet]

I did

[buoyant lagoon]

then get crystal dash

[shadow lily]

a whole as thesis bro

[shy patio]

AND applicate them all in combat

[buoyant lagoon]

that's for great slash, like the basic charged attack

[fickle spindle]

obey all 57 precepts. and then listen again

[buoyant lagoon]

if you have mantis claw you can get cyclone slash which is the spinning one

[terse magnet]

On it

[shy patio]

Why does everybody have 112% here

[serene galleon]

where do i get crystal dash

[fickle spindle]

“mothers will betray you”

[fickle spindle]

i have 110

[buoyant lagoon]

crystal peak

[shadow lily]

My whole 3 months of hollow knight, i didnt even knew u gotta spam cyclone dash to make it longer

[cloud tulip]

abandoned mining golem

[shadow lily]

He just predicted silksong

[hardy sage]

You can what now

[shy patio]

White lady

[gloomy pumice]

We pro

[serene galleon]

bro the only areas i know is crossroads, greenpath, fog canyon and fungal wastes and idk where to go next

[gloomy pumice]

Tuff people got Steel soul 112%

[buoyant lagoon]

did you get the lantern from sly?

[shadow lily]

spam m1 in cyclone dash to make it spin longer?

[fickle spindle]

lol i just pulled some random precept out of nowhere and ppl made sense of it

[shy patio]

Are you absolute radiant

[serene galleon]

no how much is it

[buoyant lagoon]

1800

[hardy sage]

I have 600 hours on this game and I only learn this now??

[shadow lily]

We all agree the best charm is wayward compass in rad fights

[buoyant lagoon]

in the meantime assuming you got the city crest from the first boss (false knight) you can get into the city via fungal

[cloud tulip]

how much essence does soul tyrant give?

[buoyant lagoon]

or just farm geo and get the lantern

[gloomy pumice]

Like 300+

[fickle spindle]

nah it’s def gathering swarm

[humble python]

JFC this place will not end

[cloud tulip]

oh so good

[shadow lily]

yess

[humble python]

There is always just another fucking room

[serene galleon]

thats what the crest is for and what city?

[foggy sable]

All dream bosses except Lost kin give 300

[hardy sage]

Are you using hiveblood and steadybody rn?

[shadow lily]

nah its probably wayward u cant debate on this one

[cloud tulip]

how much for lost kin

[buoyant lagoon]

yeah it's to open a door, to the right of fungal wastes you can get into the city with claw

[shadow lily]

300 or 400

[finite temple]

can you report bugs in the server or no?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1455148955930202152.webp?size=128&animated=true

[humble python]

@hardy sage Im using hiveblood and grubsong

[buoyant lagoon]

idk bro the game is full of bugs reporting them all would take a lot

[gloomy pumice]

What bug

[humble python]

Seriously though how long is this place im on like the 5th room

[buoyant lagoon]

sorry i had to make the funny joke

report them here

https://teamcherry.com.au/bugs

[hardy sage]

Yeah that’s pretty good, Steady body and mark of pride are also pretty good for this

[quartz cave]

how did you come to that conclusion im genuinely intrigued

[serene galleon]

claw?

whats that

[shadow lily]

If ur going to use crystal dash then thats it

[serene galleon]

how do i get claw

[buoyant lagoon]

keep exploring fungal then, you're missing a pretty important item

[serene galleon]

it in fungal?

[buoyant lagoon]

ye

[serene galleon]

alr im pretty sure its bottom right

of fungal

[shadow lily]

If u start to see mantises

then yeah

[foggy sable]

400

[cloud tulip]

yayyy

[humble python]

@shadow lily @hardy sage Finally fuck that place

[hardy sage]

Debating going back to grinding godhome, but bindings take Forever and I’m too stubborn to only do one binding at a time
Got like 2 completed but the collector has been repeatedly beating me to death

[hardy sage]

Hell yeah dude! Good job!

[foggy sable]

which collector?

[hardy sage]

Pantheon of the sage

[foggy sable]

p3 collector is kinda solved by cyclone slash because you just one shot the minions

[hardy sage]

Noted, Thank you!

[foggy sable]

if you are after ab advice for anything I seek victims to talk about bosses to

[shadow lily]

Bro how long did that took u

[humble python]

@shadow lily At least an hr but I had to stop to charge my controller because it died

[hardy sage]

Please

[foggy sable]

which ones

I can help with any boss

[zealous skiff]

just a blanket tip that can apply to everything ab is using nail arts

[hardy sage]

Definitely watcher knights

Hate them

[shadow lily]

easy solution

flukenest + unbreakable strength

[foggy sable]

so you can get great slashes on them as they spawn

[serene galleon]

omg these stupid mantises are so annoying

im in fungal wastes tryna explore and they keep hitting

[foggy sable]

then stay close when one is near by to try and bait out the melee hits, save all soul when multiple are on screen because you will DDark when both are on the move

when one is moving dodge manually then get nail hits in where it stops but when 2 are moving DDark them

[buoyant lagoon]

try to get a feel for their health and how much damage you deal so that you can leave one of them on low health and kill it just as another one spawns, then in the times it takes for the next one to do its spawn animation you can focus on a 1v1 and repeat

[vestal cedar]

the mantis warriors can be killed with a vengeful spirit and a nail hit

[buoyant lagoon]

makes it so that you're almost never fighting 2v1

[vestal cedar]

or a single vengeful spirit with shaman stone

[serene galleon]

oh

[vestal cedar]

you can also hit and dash away

the small mantises arent that hard to kill though

[shadow lily]

but the mantises in queens garden is most tuff

[quartz cave]

@foggy sable

[foggy sable]

oswald

[quartz cave]

hii

[foggy sable]

hi hru

[quartz cave]

did u beat r5ab while i was asleep

[foggy sable]

I wish

[quartz cave]

im doing oke wbu

[foggy sable]

good, I've been at a family gathering and am so tired

this is tragic

[quartz cave]

socialising,,, 😰

[foggy sable]

well the gathering was great

[hardy sage]

Do you have any advice for gpz?

[foggy sable]

for gpz I feel it is better to send you the document

give me a moment

[serene galleon]

uh i jst got dashmaster

from a thing

[buoyant lagoon]

pick a god and pray

[hardy sage]

KSXNKSL

[buoyant lagoon]

nah but like fr sometimes you can get completely cucked by rng even if you play really well

[foggy sable]

if you want more granular advice I can give that but general zote advice see the zote section

THE SACRED TEXTS

[foggy sable]

of sorts

[shadow lily]

Whos gpz

[foggy sable]

anyway most things you need are there if not @ me and I'll answer

[woven hull]

I Hope i'm halfway through

[buoyant lagoon]

technically yes, realistically no

later parts are so much harder that they'll take you a lot longer to make progress

[serene galleon]

YESS I GOT MANTIS CLAWWW

[buoyant lagoon]

ggs

now see all the new places you can reach now

[frank estuary]

the last part's last part right before the kingsmoulds is so tough, on the first attempt

[shadow lily]

What can i ask my friend if they know anything abt hk

[gray path]

Can't have to much saw blades

[frank estuary]

ask him to recite the 57 percepts of zote

[buoyant lagoon]

ikr it took me like an hour and a half to get there, then another hour and a half to complete just that last section

[shadow lily]

Aint no way bro can do it

[serene galleon]

so i can get the city thing now?

[frank estuary]

i think it took me around 20 min to do that section

[frank estuary]

i mean if he knows anything, best way to test his knowledge

[shadow lily]

Bro doesnt even know one

[buoyant lagoon]

yea just go to the right of fungal and you'll see an empty bridge

[frank estuary]

lol, just ask him how many special rooms are there in white palace

[peak hound]

guys how do I beat crawlid?

[buoyant lagoon]

and you'll have to climb around to reach the other side

[buoyant lagoon]

i was really tired by that point and it took me like half an hour to even figure out what i was supposed to do
