[sly mango]

Silly question, any tips on getting through this parkour in lower Greenpath?

[vernal knot]

Crystal Dash

[sly mango]

Don't have that yet, is it the only way?

I'll venture into Crystal Peak again I guess

[tight ermine]

funny dung defender glitch

[worn hamlet]

lol

[fresh surge]

you have to down slash the swimming dude

bounce on them

[sly mango]

It's tough with that ledge in the way

Crystal dash and pogo then?

[noble ruin]

[subtle glacier]

grey

[foggy sable]

choom

[subtle glacier]

hitless 3L lost to accidental wcs

[noble ruin]

You just hate me I get it

[foggy sable]

as in you got hit because of wcs?

[subtle glacier]

yeahh

[shy patio]

Is thqt choombert

[foggy sable]

tragic, where in the run was it

[subtle glacier]

beginning

between leggy and queens

[foggy sable]

choom I'm committed to doing at least some overworld because I made save states

[subtle glacier]

it wasn't a pb1 but it was a decent run

if only it didn't die so early

[foggy sable]

was it a decent run because dead runs don't have as much pressure

[subtle glacier]

it would've been pb but i forgot to do a goal and deleted my save before i realized

i posted it in boards and everything

and then someone was like that's a 2 line

and my world fell apart

[foggy sable]

unfortunate

[subtle glacier]

last goal was grubsong too like it would've been free

alas

[foggy sable]

just overworld problems I guess

[subtle glacier]

anyways im getting close to hit = reset territory

[earnest apex]

:3

[undone grail]

are you able to continue playing on your save file after killing the hollow knight???

[foggy sable]

overworld will be so much more fun and enjoyable than... the other run...

[subtle glacier]

grey should hand brain

[pliant bough]

@subtle glacier 🦦

[foggy sable]

I always go out at about this time I should have joined the bingy earlier

[tulip narwhal]

I miss rose

[foggy sable]

I got distracted by all skills

[subtle glacier]

all skills speedrun or

[unborn crag]

go to bed floggy

[subtle glacier]

hitless

[foggy sable]

hitless

[subtle glacier]

holy

what's pb

[foggy sable]

I have 12 savestates for the run

[tulip narwhal]

Do you know what TIME it is chudboy

[foggy sable]

5 but maybe that was for any%

[subtle glacier]

all skills is scarier traversal but easier combat

[foggy sable]

I haven't done any overworld runs in so long I forget what I've run

[subtle glacier]

solid tradeoff

[vale condor]

🐑

[foggy sable]

thk is so difficult I died in the fight

[subtle glacier]

thk scary

[foggy sable]

the triple slash is so fast

[subtle glacier]

i remember dying in hitless attempts a few times too

[unborn crag]

dont call me chudboy..

My brother in life GET A JOB

[wintry plinth]

Ain't nobody needs to do PoP SIXTEEN TIMES

[limpid matrix]

Also hk players before skong:

[wintry plinth]

What

[old crater]

Yall im on pantheon 5 wish me luck please

[limpid matrix]

gl

[foggy sable]

after a few times PoP is less than 10 minutes to do it isn't as bad as you are making it out to be

[wintry plinth]

I really want to argue with that

But

I cant

[shrewd nymph]

@foggy sable

[foggy sable]

lune

[shrewd nymph]

hii

question

[foggy sable]

answer

[shrewd nymph]

yk the markoth thing where you dash under him

[foggy sable]

I know of it

[shrewd nymph]

ignoring any risk of getting hit until after its done, is the extra 13ish damage (sometimes more depending on how he moves) worth it over the 80 dmg from insta shade soul

assuming you enter with full soul

since shade soul version gives you space and distance whereas dash under doesnt

[foggy sable]

I prefer an insta nail art followed by a 2 hit shade soul as my opener

but 2 hit shade soul is the next preferred one

[shrewd nymph]

you can do that??

just dash slash > shade soul instantly?

[foggy sable]

yes

[keen thorn]

I prefer to go full nail on phase 1

[shrewd nymph]

well i often enter with full soul from tyrant

so id get the soul back from an opening shade soul

[keen thorn]

On charmless I open with a nart, otherwise dash behind him

[shrewd nymph]

if im not then i do the dash under

[foggy sable]

I always do tyrant nail only phase 2 so I have full soul so I start markoth with either nail art into shade soul or just shade soul depending on my mood

[shrewd nymph]

maybe i'll try dash under + shade soul

but i dont think it double hits

if not then nart shade soul double hit sounds goodd

[foggy sable]

I just don't think the dash under is worth it anyway

[shrewd nymph]

why?

[foggy sable]

risk management and run nerves

[shrewd nymph]

ive never gotten hit doing it

[keen thorn]

You can do dash behind instead

[shrewd nymph]

dash behind?

[keen thorn]

That's what I do

Jump to the platform and dash off it behind markoth

And hit him into the middle

[shrewd nymph]

do you have a clip anywhere

[keen thorn]

Ez 3 hits and up to 6 with good rng

[shrewd nymph]

seems same as dash under

[vernal knot]

[foggy sable]

optimally qs non optimally strength

[vernal knot]

Oh okay so Dyno just fucking hates me, I see

[shrewd nymph]

qslash ideally and even moreso if you include extra soul gain

[floral basalt]

like if u are landing every hit and playing perfectly, use qs?

[keen thorn]

Yeah pretty much

But less weird

So grey

[foggy sable]

well there is almost no reason to ever run one and not the other

[keen thorn]

https://youtu.be/mz6Kbucj14E?t=25m28s

[shrewd nymph]

i just do whatever looks cooler

[foggy sable]

that just seems worse than opening nail art into shade soul

[floral basalt]

ok, so for p5, i should stick with qs, strength, shamans, and sharp shadow?

[keen thorn]

That's because I didn't go for the continuation

What's good is you can follow markoth

[foggy sable]

out of curiosity why not?

[keen thorn]

I was too nervous tho

[foggy sable]

exactly run nerves

[keen thorn]

Yeah, but I was especially nervous

[tacit island]

How do I join the Spanish-speaking server?

[keen thorn]

Like, AnyRad levels of nerves I'd still do it

[wise dew]

Is there a way I can go into a brand new save with everything I have now

[keen thorn]

Or those I felt in my dashless R5 1 hit

[hollow dragon]

i want to have a discussion on why hornet naturally has the ability to dash downwards once you get the dash but the knight needs a charm to do it

[shrewd nymph]

yeah its fundamentally the same as what i do

[floral basalt]

lol fr

[shrewd nymph]

well ideally you dont use sshadow but if you're super reliant on it then thats fine

[floral basalt]

ik bro, i would use spell twister, but i cant beat pv or nkg without it, ive tried multiple times

[shrewd nymph]

maybe use twister up until the soul tyrant bench then

[hollow dragon]

my personal build is the big 3 + sbody + nmg

[floral basalt]

yea

[shrewd nymph]

but either way the last two notches arent life or death

like sbody helps alot but if you're reliant on sshadow then try to eventually learn without it but not during p5 attempts

[floral basalt]

is there anythiing i should use besides twister?

[hollow dragon]

cause i cant beat nkg without nail arts lmao

[keen thorn]

@foggy sable https://youtu.be/_TjKIGg4N4g?t=23m55s

This one's better

[foggy sable]

this dash slash line up
https://youtu.be/47NYDIqbrDI?si=f-zw_yaPtNqtBDlO&t=2045

and I didn't have shaman here so didn't shade soul but I was in the position t odo it

[shrewd nymph]

steady body + grubsong/nailmasters glory
catcher > twister if you heal a decent amount
heart for later 2 dmg bosses for QoL

[keen thorn]

Yeah for charmless nart opening is best

[floral basalt]

yeah, ive tried heart, never thought of using catcher. thanks!

[shrewd nymph]

is it insta shade soul after nart?

[foggy sable]

pretty much

and you double hit if you have shaman on

it is the damage equivalent of about 4-5 nail hits with almost no risk

[shrewd nymph]

i'll experiment with it when i get home

the dash under has 0 risk for me but playing close does ykwim

[hollow dragon]

i basically can't play the game without sbody on it's bad

[shrewd nymph]

anyways thanks grey and genio

[foggy sable]

also the charmless run had such a bad markoth

[shrewd nymph]

hes one of the bosses i need to improve on

[foggy sable]

well bad patterns anyway

[shrewd nymph]

alongside galien, hornet 2, lost kin

and a few others minorly

[zinc moon]

whats the big 3😭

[foggy sable]

my problem is anything below ab I don't have any glaring issues and ab practice is boring

[zinc moon]

uns mop and quickslash?

[keen thorn]

4 nails and 4 damage

[shrewd nymph]

go for faster / riskier r5 clears

but not like silly ones reliant on rng but riskier as in mechanically harder

[keen thorn]

The charm trifecta is strength Quickslash shaman

[foggy sable]

speed runs hurt my hands

[keen thorn]

Op beyond measure and skill floors really low

[shrewd nymph]

anyrad incoming

[foggy sable]

which is why I don't do long sessions of pantheons anyway

[zinc moon]

i see......

i was only wrong on one

[foggy sable]

I am thinking of picking up something less intense but idk yet

[keen thorn]

Mop is still good tho

[shrewd nymph]

in modded bosses or just general?

like overworld runs

[keen thorn]

Pale shadow

[shrewd nymph]

scary

[foggy sable]

idk really what exactly

[shrewd nymph]

r04theon of pv

[foggy sable]

but I'll probably go on a pantheon break for a bit

or at least only do a small amount

I do want to do r5ab one day but I'm a bit burnt out of godhome

[shrewd nymph]

break buff too

abuse it

[foggy sable]

(given the 8 r5 clears in the span of a month)

r04 radtheon of marmu surely

[keen thorn]

I see potential for this generation of R5ABers

[keen thorn]

@levi

[shrewd nymph]

r04theon of flukemarm or nothing

[foggy sable]

now I've done charmless it is sort of in sight

[keen thorn]

It's 13hp minions and that's fine

[foggy sable]

whereas before it was some distant goal

[keen thorn]

Yeah

[shrewd nymph]

i dont think theres a single r04theon id be interested in

[eternal nexus]

making a sandwich I see

[shrewd nymph]

rabtheon was boring as hell

[keen thorn]

42 streak of anything is boring af

[shrewd nymph]

suscat sandwhich

[keen thorn]

@susc

[foggy sable]

radtheon of marmu normally was annoying

[noble moat]

Hive knight is such an ah boss

[shrewd nymph]

👀

[foggy sable]

hive knight is top 3 boss

[keen thorn]

irabntheon of marmu

[shrewd nymph]

i dont like how bees track for too long but otherwise i love hive knight

[noble moat]

Overated imo

[foggy sable]

nah

[noble moat]

My opinion

[foggy sable]

just dash the opposite way to the direction bees are moving

[keen thorn]

Although I most certainly see us 3 clearing R5AB at least before 2028
I believe on 2026 tho!

[noble moat]

He gets beaten up so easily

[keen thorn]

We just need to not give up

[foggy sable]

I don't think r5ab will be fun or enjoyable

[keen thorn]

Nope lol

[noble moat]

What's r5ab guys

[keen thorn]

It's R5AB

[shrewd nymph]

scarrry

[foggy sable]

and also I need r5eb first

[shrewd nymph]

hitless pantheon 5 with all bindings at once

[noble moat]

Jesus

[keen thorn]

Honestly
Idk if I care for that anymore
Nail and soul bindings are so icky

[foggy sable]

and also I haven't done p4ab so I'd be getting ahead of myself

[shrewd nymph]

nail seems okay with flukes

[keen thorn]

Atp after dashless I may just do -1R5 and Nonly

[noble moat]

I can't even beat P1 with 1 binding y'all ✌️

[keen thorn]

[shrewd nymph]

lots of practise

[keen thorn]

Oh I don't think I told you two

[shrewd nymph]

nonly doesnt sound bad until i realise i cant ddark to solely iframe

[noble moat]

I'm gonna use ss as my practice

[keen thorn]

I struggled with the RAB pantheons

One day I sat

R4AB first try

[shy patio]

Just beat p3 🙏

[keen thorn]

Then moved to R3AB first try

Then moved to R2AB second try

[shrewd nymph]

nerf genio

[keen thorn]

Idk how

[shrewd nymph]

hotpatch

[keen thorn]

Nerf lune first

[shrewd nymph]

lune needs a buff

galien too hard

[scarlet thorn]

what is ghost doing yo

[foggy sable]

I keep losing ab runs to wk

which is a small problem

[keen thorn]

Do r04 again

[foggy sable]

ew

[shrewd nymph]

my wk are pretty consistent (no bindings) but they arent super quick / clean

[foggy sable]

that took like 40 minutes

[shrewd nymph]

which is annoying

[keen thorn]

I agree

[noble moat]

He wants to hurt the radiance too

[keen thorn]

Well I'm gonna eep

[foggy sable]

gn

[keen thorn]

Tomorrow is the big day when I'll pick my subjects

[shy patio]

Why tf is markoth on p4 bro kms

[keen thorn]

I need to be ready

hey throw

[shrewd meadow]

i miss vzy bingy

[shy patio]

I hate lost kin so much why do i have to use defender's crest in p4 oh my lord

[shrewd meadow]

you dont

cause you could also just like

learn to hit the blobs

[shy patio]

Lsot kin already exfoliates my brain i cant

😭

[sick prism]

r we fr

[shy patio]

Ye

[cinder jackal]

good reminder

[shy patio]

Oh

Thats the level of hatred i have for traitor lord

💀

[floral basalt]

||traitor lord, not markoth?||

[zinc iris]

Well

Ur gonna see them soon

[vestal tusk]

I don't use defender's crest in p4 as I can get through halfway with 3 masks and above then heal them for failed champion markoth and watcher knights

[vestal tusk]

Yeah traitor lords is annoying but not that hard to beat just walk away from where it's gonna jump to and use sharp shadow to dash through it or spam nail attacks or dash nail art (all works I think)

[noble ruin]

Zvy can I have Ari I miss her

[floral basalt]

||u dont need crest, shade soul and nail takes care of it for the most part, yeah.||

whoops

replied to wrong message srry

[zinc iris]

Np

[vestal tusk]

But Markoth, yeah somehow I don't struggle against him (I'm never doing him radiant) I just use great slash to attack him and when he's using the spinning shield move I heal

[vestal tusk]

(still find him one of the most annoying bosses in the game)

[floral basalt]

what if theres no floor

[vestal tusk]

Haven't done that yet, but I'll try after beating p4 (first that then I'll practice him without floor)

But I don't use the floor that often just sometimes

[floral basalt]

if the floor chooses to remain, i just stay under him and spam shriek

if theres none, i use dash slash and shade soul

[vestal tusk]

I do despise lost kin, like why do those idiotic ghosts get summoned 😭

[vestal tusk]

I just use dash slash or great slash

Always

[floral basalt]

yea

[vestal tusk]

It's an easier way to beat him without taking too much dmg

[floral basalt]

in second phase, shade soul double hits are 🔥

[vestal tusk]

Fr shade soul in general is 🔥

But abyss shriek is my favorite spell (purely because I use it for NKG)

I gotta get used to NKG again, I know how to dodge each attack I just gotta get used to the timings again

[floral basalt]

i love shriek, but ddark gives iframes

too much to pass up

[vestal tusk]

True ddark is so useful in sticky situations

[floral basalt]

i just spam ddark whenever i can lol

[vestal tusk]

I use ddark on lost kin and watcher knights mostly

I just need to practice more pure vessel to get through pantheon 4

[floral basalt]

yea, i just gave up trying to damage him during the uppercut and dash through him

[vestal tusk]

I can parry the uppercut and get out of the way like 50% of the time

While dealing dmg

[floral basalt]

damn, godly timing

[vestal tusk]

It's peak as hell

[floral basalt]

ive parried pv slash attack like twice

[ancient ravine]

Alot of hk

[floral basalt]

for some reason i parry sly great slash tho

its lowk beak

peak

[vestal tusk]

Quick focus is ngl so useful 😭

It saves my ass so much

2 health healing instead of 1 in most fights because of the 33% faster healing

Via focus

[obtuse brook]

Who among you wants to see the biggest game discount of the century? 👀

[floral basalt]

yea

only reason injector band is slightly better in silksong is because theres no notches

[vestal tusk]

I want SS but I already bought a game not long ago that's why I can't buy it
So yeah please spare change (for silksong)

[shy patio]

WHY DO I HAVE TO FIGHT WHITE DEFENDER AFTER TRAITOR LORD

If traitor lord and markoth weren't enough 🥀

[obtuse brook]

Not Silksong but...

[vestal tusk]

White defender easy wdym?

[shy patio]

[noble ruin]

YAY

[zinc iris]

A steal tbh

[vestal tusk]

Literally what I'm used to in p4 I easily get through that stage with 3 HP 😭

Like I can finish traitor lords at 3 masks and finish white defender with 5 masks

😭

As in I can heal 2 extra masks after white defender dies

[zinc iris]

U can heal during white defender itself

[vestal tusk]

And don't tell me about former experience as hollow Knight's the hardest game I've played

[shy patio]

Why do i have to be told "its easy!!" When its my experience

[vestal tusk]

Exactly, when he jumps out you gotta be slightly lucky you don't get hit by those balls

[vestal tusk]

True, it's easy for me (someone who has less percent then you and has hollow knight as their first metroidvania and hardest game they've played, mostly being an RPG player)

[zinc iris]

Yeah or when he bounces around and u know where he's heading also u can get a heal

[floral basalt]

skong is an amazing game as well as hk, but dont u get pissed off when someone glazes tf out of skong never having played hk?

[vestal tusk]

When he dives down after the bounce you can easily jump over the pillars with your double jump

I take like 3-4 masks every fight against white defender, but I always heal the DMG I take plus more

I take the most DMG against lost kin and watcher knights throughout the whole of pantheon 4

(minus pure vessel)

We don't count him in this because I just die to him

[zinc iris]

Practice

[vestal tusk]

Yeah ik

I gotta practice

Hall of gods is so handy

[shy patio]

Alright i got to white defender on 5 masks

[floral basalt]

nice job

[shy patio]

And i died

[floral basalt]

i never did more than 3 lol

[zinc iris]

Play it slow and u can get some heals in

[earnest apex]

||||

[shy patio]

I finally did the enraged zaza guy whitout being hit

[earnest apex]

We need a body swap mod

[vestal tusk]

A tip for white defender try to hit and walk away while he's throwing the mud balls, and when he's half HP stand next to his hole and hit when he jumps out then hince repeat

[shy patio]

I dont wanna read that a 2nd time

💀

[vestal tusk]

Enraged guardian? Ah well I inconsistently no hit him (he's not hard to avoid just annoying)

[earnest apex]

10% spider

90% shaw

[vestal tusk]

In short git gud (how do you have more percentage then me but still struggle against things I don't struggle against)

[shrewd nymph]

different people struggle with different things

[shy patio]

I meant as in the last parts of the message (how do you manage to care so much about stuff that isnt your problem when people are different)

[vestal tusk]

What things do you have left to do for your last 2 percentages?

I am at 106%

And I struggle against the last part of p4

Mostly

[shrewd nymph]

pv is a big jump

[shy patio]

P4 and trial of the fools

[vestal tusk]

Aaah alright well I got the last trial of CoF left and p4 and some other stuff

Hollow knight is gonna be the first game I'm gonna complete with all percentages

[floral basalt]

yea, i recently did colo 3 and p4, now im stuck on p5. good luck!

[shy patio]

Same!!+!

[vestal tusk]

Thanks

[hidden spire]

Yo

[gentle pilot]

thats uber niche

[vestal tusk]

Good luck with the rest of p4 and if you want to see me play for fun later today when I'm back from school (p4) maybe we can learn from each other?

Would be a fun experience to see where we both suck at and help eachother?

[vestal tusk]

In p4 I find 1 boss hard before the resting area and that's lost kin

The rest isn't that hard

[floral basalt]

spam shade soul bro, thats my best advice lol

also u can easily heal after in no eyes

[vestal tusk]

Alright thanks

[vestal tusk]

I'

Ik*

I always heal there

[floral basalt]

sounds good

[shy patio]

Alright, did traitor lord with 9 masks

[vestal tusk]

BEAT WHITE DEFENDER'S ASS

[gentle pilot]

☺️

[vestal tusk]

One last tip, don't be too aggressive against white defender @shy patio

[floral basalt]

i mean u can try juggling him

[shy patio]

I know i spanked him earlier at around 90%

[vestal tusk]

Did you win or lose again?

[shy patio]

HE DIED

🙏

[vestal tusk]

LET'S GOOO

[shy patio]

But markoth 💀

[dim lance]

i thought i wasj in sk-discussion, mods ban me

[shy patio]

https://tenor.com/view/markoth-heart-locket-hate-markoth-hater-hollow-knight-gif-3747081389164454820

[vestal tusk]

Use nail arts

Use great slash then dodge for awhile

And because it's p4 you got a floor so when he uses his spinning shield move is when you can heal

[shy patio]

Yeah i took off defender's crest for steady body

Oh its failed champion actually

[vestal tusk]

I could share my build with you (I changed one thing to it as it's one from a video)

[vestal tusk]

After you got markoth

Farm soul with failed champion to use on markoth or watcher knights

(yes watcher knights is right after markoth)

He's not that bad just annoying as hell to fight against

I still despise his existence

The only hard boss in p4 is pure vessel himself

[floral basalt]

spoken like someone who hasnt tried radiant markoth

[floral basalt]

agreed, if u can beat him in godhome 3 times in a row, u can beat the pantheon

[gentle pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/xqc-xqcl-xqcow-streamer-stare-gif-23495711

[vestal tusk]

Non radiant Markoth is just annoying as hell, radiant Markoth is so goddamn annoying 😭

[solar rover]

here we go again... this shit is loger than one piece

[vestal tusk]

And hard (I haven't fought against radiant Markoth I just know he is)

[solar rover]

1400 episodes

[floral basalt]

the difference between ascended and attuned markoth is more than any other boss

[vestal tusk]

Have fun with it

[floral basalt]

in difficulty i mean

[vestal tusk]

True

Does every ascended boss also deal double DMG or not?

[floral basalt]

who else then

vengefly king?

lol

good rng 🔥 💯

guys i think speed might be black

[shy patio]

Killed failed champion
Time to cry myself to win

[floral basalt]

nice job lol

[shy patio]

I KILLED HIM AND HE ONLY DEALT 1 MASK

💀

[floral basalt]

crazy hollow knight discussion

[shy patio]

I died to the watcher's spire miniboss

[floral basalt]

which one???

the watcher knights is a boss i think

[shy patio]

Those yeah

[knotty ravine]

@zealous skiff my ass has not looked at the ping but im assuming its yes

[shy patio]

WHAT THE FUCK

SOUL TYRANT IS IN P4

[zinc iris]

All the main game bosses/overworld will be in p1-4

[floral basalt]

spam abyss shriek on his ahh

[shy patio]

😭

[woeful obsidian]

I gave up as soon as I died in the first pantheon. Haven't touched it since because Legends ZA

[zinc iris]

And at the top of the first four is a custom boss

[shy patio]

Seeing the,hollow knight with a mouth is nightmare fuel

[warped ermine]

Ikr

[shy patio]

It looks so ai generated oml

[zinc iris]

U shd try again it's doable w practice

[warped ermine]

Because it is lmao

[woeful obsidian]

Yeah, but I had also just finished the Radiance, and she gave me anxiety

[woeful obsidian]

Nightmare King Grimm was my favorite boss fight, ngl

Music was bomb af

[shy patio]

It also is mine

Beat his ass 11 times

1 of them ascended overcharmed and the other radiant

[woeful obsidian]

Heck yeah

[zealous skiff]

i like a lot of things here but nmg speed just makes nail arts way too good if you don't have qs and i would like a qs nerf. I also dont know what "tipper mechanic" means but I like everything else. maybe narts time 1.1-1.3x nmg time to charge

[floral basalt]

i like sisters of battle or normal grimm music better

but nkg is fire beat too

[woeful obsidian]

Sisters of Battle is very good

Also, what would your least favorite battle be? Mine was Nosk and Hiveknight

And Trial of the Fool

[shrewd nymph]

Galien

[shy patio]

Traitor lord

[woeful obsidian]

That one is also relatable

[zinc iris]

As a boss ig obblobles are pretty boring for me

If we say all bosses all modes probably asc markoth was rlly annoying

At least it paid off tho

[shy patio]

Obblobles might be the most horrid in radiant

Unless you count your hits on each one

[zinc iris]

That's probably markoth

Or absrad

Or gpz

[shrewd nymph]

most horrid is probably markoth imo

[rough fjord]

You know what I've seen very little fanart of (like 3 pics, one being inaccurate due to a detail)
The Hollow Knight after Embrace The Void
(Inaccurate one has both arms. Although it could be a prosthetic)

[knotty ravine]

the thing is we like qs and think it’s fine for it to be super good so we didn’t change the charm in particular, but everything else around it. nmg enables you to make builds around something that isn’t qs

We did make nmg narts really fucking good though yeah

tipper mechanic

like marth

from hit game smash melee

and the other ones

where if you hit with the tip of his sword it deals more damage

[zealous skiff]

ah ic

[zealous skiff]

thats valid

[rigid token]

where are the game sprites located

[austere spruce]

encrypted, you wont find them in the file directory

[rigid token]

Soo, I have to dump them?

[austere spruce]

idk, i just know you cant get them in the file directory

[rigid token]

I suspected

[shy patio]

Im gonna encrypt you

[austere spruce]

oh, my shivers are timbered

[shy patio]

Yeah they better be

[austere spruce]

i fight nkg when im bored

[shy patio]

Same

[austere spruce]

i not hit him sometimes

also pure vvessel

[shrewd nymph]

Peak

[shy patio]

I also no hit him sometimes

I hsvent unlocked pure vessel so i just fight zote most of the time

Or go to the eternal ordeal

[queen root]

I died to pure vessel in my p5 run

[austere spruce]

i die to markoth more than anyone else in p5 either tht or im on 3 masks by the end of the fight

[shy patio]

Does p5 even have rooms to rest in

[zinc iris]

Yes

[queen root]

fighting markoth and immediately fighting grey prince zote after sucks

[shrewd nymph]

7 benches

[frank estuary]

ikr, its such bad placement

[shrewd nymph]

A few more that are just dialogue rooms

[frank estuary]

its so much better if you just skip saving zote

[austere spruce]

yep, they are lowk very clutch bc u can just swim in the water and fully restore both masks and soul

[shy patio]

Why not just use the bench heh

[frank estuary]

i mean your bench can do that too

[shrewd nymph]

Takes away lifeblood

And slower than spa

[shy patio]

How do benches take away lifeblood if

The lifeblood thing besides hall of gods lets you get it on benches

And also lifeblood charms

[frank estuary]

oh yeah, i forgot to unlock lifeblood for pantheons

[shrewd nymph]

you get it in the bench room, not at the bench itself

[shy patio]

Ohh

[frank estuary]

p5 will be hell

[shrewd nymph]

Its a cocoon to the right of the bench

Lifeblood from charms reset but cocoon lifeblood doesnt

[zinc moon]

hello hk discussion

[shy patio]

Goodbye hk discussion

[austere spruce]

doesnt restore soul without salubra's blessing

[zinc moon]

oh thats what it does??

[shy patio]

No salubra's blessing before godhome is criminal

[austere spruce]

yep

[frank estuary]

i mean, isn't it something you'll have by the time you're going to start p5

[austere spruce]

i still havent gotten it and im almost done with p5

[shy patio]

WHAT are you lacking

[austere spruce]

idk, my playthroughs are pretty wierd but i like them bc i went in blind

[frank estuary]

if it was before, thats a good decision, now get it, they removed her annoying laugh after fully restoring your soul

[austere spruce]

i think some lifeblood charms or smth

[frank estuary]

You haven't got all charms yet?

[austere spruce]

yep

[shy patio]

Send pic

Of charm list

[frank estuary]

Ah, ok

[shrewd nymph]

toa 👀

[austere spruce]

i like using this build when fighting the radiance

[zinc moon]

WHAT

[shy patio]

Oh my

[frank estuary]

Yeah with the 2026 bug fix, i heard they fixed it

[zinc moon]

'fix' like it was something wrong😔

[frank estuary]

i was wondering the same thing

[zinc moon]

this game is unplayable. /srs

[frank estuary]

no, there were a few bugs which still existed, the salubra thing was not a bug, it was a enhancement like the inventory thing

[frank estuary]

git gud

[zinc moon]

d

[shy patio]

The radiance is my favorite fight

I would fight her more than nkg if she didnt give you the whole ass credits and needed you to defeat thk

[frank estuary]

Yep radiance is fun but not abrad

[shy patio]

The harder the better

[frank estuary]

Fair enough, but i hate her

[austere spruce]

i just quit the save after landing the final blow so i dont have to go through allat

[smoky matrix]

Has anyone made a TRK skin for the Tiny It yet?

[frank estuary]

dw i base like radiance, the absrad fight is nice tbh, but took me 6 hours to radiant abrad and even after this i can't beat her at attuned, even markoth didn't take that long

[zinc iris]

If ur able to radiant abs rad

How did u lose to attuned

[frank estuary]

thats the same thing i ask everytime, tbf i did get lucky with radiant but still

[zinc iris]

Did u lose in the pantheon maybe it was nerves

[frank estuary]

no in hall of gods itself, and i was able to p5 only once, haven't tried it again

[zinc iris]

Not rlly worth doing again unless if ur planning to get weathered mask

And p5ab

[frank estuary]

i gotta everything in hk again since i didn't play on steam

[zinc iris]

Isn't there an achievements in the main menu

[shrewd nymph]

i mean radabsrad is harder than radkoth tbf

[frank estuary]

i mean i could techniacally link my xbox account to steam but i want to do everything from scratch cause the game is fun

[zinc iris]

Understandable

[oblique dome]

my little critters

[lusty flame]

I havent played Hollow Knight on some months and Just trying to defeat Hollow Knight is hard for me when I beated the radiance lol

[earnest orchid]

I am way more consistent on rad absrad than rad markoth

[shrewd nymph]

theres exceptions for everything

[earnest orchid]

though markoth isn't really hard either, just very tedious

[shrewd nymph]

some people find it not just less consistent but also harder (mostly because they havent learnt markoth)

[lusty flame]

hi

[earnest orchid]

if I was more patient I suppose it would take me less tries

[lusty flame]

oh i'm getting ignored I should leave

[shy patio]

When am i gonna be able to fight the radiance on hall of gods bro

[earnest orchid]

after you have everyone else on HoG I'm pretty sure

[shy patio]

In a hog?!

In attuned or

[earnest orchid]

not beaten

just having them there

[shrewd nymph]

you just have to reach her in pantheon 5

to fight her in hog

well thats absrad but still

[earnest orchid]

what the fuck is my memory these days

[earnest orchid]

I mean to be fair saying hi isn't very engaging

[lusty flame]

oh ok

[zinc iris]

U can only fight normal radiance in the dream no more ending

[lusty flame]

Yes

[shy patio]

.

The devs are assholes

[lusty flame]

Ouh

[zinc iris]

If u want absrad get to the top of p5

[shy patio]

No i want radiance

[foggy sable]

It is worth

[shy patio]

[zinc iris]

Keep doing dream no more ig

If ur on pc there's maybe a mod that lets u fight normal radiance

[buoyant grove]

WHAT IS TS BRO

[eager jasper]

Heheheheh

[timber inlet]

[eager jasper]

A stupid neck hurts

[timber inlet]

[eager jasper]

[shy patio]

Oh that?

[oblique dome]

WAIT GODHOME IS SO FUN WHY DIDNT I FIND THIS SOONER I CANJUST RE FIGHT BOSSES WHENEVER I WANT TO

[buoyant grove]

yea how do i avoid the charge thing he do

[shadow lily]

See the gaps of the arena?

[buoyant grove]

[shadow lily]

U can just stay there if he charged and just jump over he charges back

[shadow lily]

I mean

Yk

Floor levels

[buoyant grove]

eh

[shadow lily]

How do i explain that shit like yk steps of that

Floor

[buoyant grove]

dw ima watch a youtube guide on this

lol

[shadow lily]

The curse of being an overthinker

[modern trail]

The craziest thing i did was path of pain. Who did also path of pain

[worthy peak]

Me

You should try path of happiness.

[modern trail]

I thought that u get like an achivement but u get nothing( i ragequited)

[worthy peak]

I don't think he knew radiance even existed originally

[modern trail]

Yes

[river scaffold]

nobody likes radiance

[worthy peak]

But also .would you want a wife as jealous as radiance of followers

[modern trail]

I like the musik of radiance and learnt them on piano

[river scaffold]

[modern trail]

Who is youre favorite boss fight and charakter

Mine is both Zote the mighty

[river scaffold]

Favorite boss is sisters of battle and character is zote

[modern trail]

Yes i love the sisters too

Yes

Most loved area:Greenpath (very kreativ name)

[worthy peak]

Favourite boss any/absrad favourite character godseeker

Favourite area godhome

[modern trail]

Nahh i think withe palace is the best with all that bastdard saws

[river scaffold]

Best area kingdoms edge

[fluid sigil]

real

[modern trail]

Favorite power:shadow dash

[fluid sigil]

normal dash 🙏

[river scaffold]

Double jump goated

[modern trail]

No shadow dash is way better and cooler

[modern trail]

Also shadow dash and double jump

[worthy peak]

Fireball

[modern trail]

No not that good

[worthy peak]

Cause I like fireball skips even though I can't do them

[river scaffold]

Best spell is ofc abyss shriek

[modern trail]

I finished pantheon 4 and i still dont have shadow fireball

Where can i get it

[thick widget]

I mean yeah no shit

It's simpler to set up than dark fluke

[fluid sigil]

ddark

by far

iframes

[river scaffold]

Eh mid

[worthy peak]

Ddarks better. Spell rankings fireball Ddark ddive shriek shade soul wraiths

[thick widget]

Doesn't abyss shriek has iframes?

Or am I tripping

[worthy peak]

Don't think so

[civic scarab]

Abyss shriek is better if you are better at the game

[modern trail]

Where can i get the dark fireball

[worthy peak]

Actually I'm certain it doesn't

[civic scarab]

Ddark is a crutch spell for players to use on hard to dodge moves

[thick widget]

Explore city of tears

[civic scarab]

Abyss shriek and shade fireball apply the best damage

[river scaffold]

Soul sanctum i believe

[worthy peak]

Try anyrad without ddark

[modern trail]

What i explored everything ther

Ohhh thanks

[worthy peak]

Let's you hit more often as you can hit during iframes

[civic scarab]

Doesn’t make it the best spell it just makes you worse at the game I’m not saying I’m any better but logically abyss shriek is best

[civic scarab]

It also positions you down so you can’t hit some flying bosses as quick

[modern trail]

What is your graphics card

[civic scarab]

Most speedrun boss kills never use ddark

That is true!

[modern trail]

Mine is the RTX 5060 TI 16GB

[civic scarab]

Me included

[worthy peak]

Okay regardless. More optimal with perfect play doesn't mean better

[fluid sigil]

good

400€

[worthy peak]

With perfect play you don't need any spells

[civic scarab]

Actually it does but for low skill gameplay Ddark is best

[modern trail]

Yes i am german

[civic scarab]

But with perfect play abyss shriek is the spell that damages the most making it the best

[civic scarab]

Low to medium I should say

Honestly even higher

[modern trail]

My englisch writing is not the best 😂

[fluid sigil]

beste mann

[modern trail]

Bist du auch deutsch

[worthy peak]

No... I don't see why. It just makes it better for a perfect player. That's not better thats more optimal. The perfect player doesn't need spells anyway so I don't think their best use should have more weight

[civic scarab]

At that level more optimal means it’s better that’s the idea of optimization I’d say

[worthy peak]

Unless of course it's a boss that you can't get close to a load of the time

[fluid sigil]

nö

kann aber deutsch

[civic scarab]

That is true in which I’d say it’s shadow fireball

[worthy peak]

Or you could Ddark and get nail hits in as well

[wooden junco]

guys im at 109% what do i do to get more?

[civic scarab]

At optimal gameplay you could really stay close to any boss if you wanted too

[foggy sable]

wait did you say DDark was best only for low skill gameplay?

[finite ember]

chat how do i dodge radkoth in phase 2?

[civic scarab]

Honestly it’s best for any gameplay that’s non optimal

[wooden junco]

all charms p1 and p5 all grubs

[civic scarab]

IMO

[foggy sable]

optimal in which way

[civic scarab]

Prefect dodging and highest DPS

[worthy peak]

The idea of optimisation is finding the best solution for skilled players. I do not agree with giving the best players more weight when deciding what's best.

[foggy sable]

stay on the top platforms and try to dodge almost by jumping, try to avoid large movements between platforms if possible

[wooden junco]

i did nkg what dream boses?

[civic scarab]

I think the both weights can exist at the same time and be considered

[worthy peak]

In terms of whats best for them compared to what's best for worse players

[civic scarab]

And honestly should be considered

[young lake]

gmhkmain

[foggy sable]

so optimal in one specific way

[civic scarab]

Yes

[finite ember]

the problem is he always gets close to me, so i jump away, then he summons a sword in me as i fall

[floral harness]

||failed champion, soul tyrant,lost kin||

[civic scarab]

In most situations Ddark is better

But I can’t say that it’s always the best

Cus it just isn’t

[worthy peak]

But this does mean that more optimal does not mean better

[foggy sable]

and that way being speedkills

[wooden junco]

ok the lost kin i did but whats the last part?

[civic scarab]

I don’t think that makes sense at all

Well

[foggy sable]

try not to move downwards between platforms unless a sword has just spawned

[civic scarab]

Okay

I get what you are saying

[wooden junco]

you mean in god home?

[worthy peak]

Honestly. What's great is every spell has its chance to shine

[finite ember]

oh, ok, ill try that

[wooden junco]

bruh

[modern trail]

Did you killed Nightmare king grimm

[wooden junco]

yup

[modern trail]

And no eyes

[wooden junco]

yup

[civic scarab]

Not c dash

[wooden junco]

i did p1 to p5

and pantheon of hallow nest

[foggy sable]

c dash isn't a spell

[worthy peak]

Not a spell. It's a movement ability that helps in speedruns

[modern trail]

GREY PRINCE ZOTE IS GAY

[civic scarab]

You right

[wooden junco]

NUH UH

[civic scarab]

Yeah all spells are goated

[wooden junco]

so ima do zote then

[worthy peak]

Cdash also has its chance to shine. Even in combat if you hate orbs enough

[modern trail]

But Zote the Mighty in Colloseum of fools is goated

[civic scarab]

[hybrid holly]

I got the desolate dive skill now, how do I get to the second part of city of tears? I already did sanctum

[worthy peak]

Explore. You have to go around I pretty sure

[hybrid holly]

Well I got lumafly lantern so I guess I can do waterways now unfortunately

[modern trail]

For any older person this is hard BUT FOR THE CHAMPION OF FOOLS EVERYTHING IS EASY

[hybrid holly]

Is dung defender really the boss of waterways he's too eady

[worthy peak]

Does kingdoms edge work. I can't remember

[hybrid holly]

Sy

[modern trail]

Trevor treefort is good

[worthy peak]

What about the tram

Huge detour

Tho

[real pasture]

With tram, to get to city of tears you go via deepnest, not kedge

[finite ember]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

[real pasture]

Get up in basin and up

[worthy peak]

On steel soul

[finite ember]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

AFTER 10 FUCKING HOURS

THE HELL IS OVER

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

[fluid sigil]

how

[finite ember]

GET GUD MARKOTH

[fluid sigil]

i dont even have him on ascended

crazy

[worthy peak]

Or you go one further to kingdoms edge. Seems just as valid a route to me.

[foggy sable]

gg

[finite ember]

use nailarts and master pogoing

im shaking rn...

[modern trail]

He had the power of zote

[worthy peak]

My strategy was mop and longnail. Then hope he stops next to a platform I can combo him on. (Luck required for mine)

[finite ember]

and i only have 2 hard radiants now..

[digital abyss]

What do u want

[modern trail]

Markoth+pantheon 5=GAY

[real pasture]

But that’s a huge detour

[foggy sable]

2?

[fluid sigil]

how did u not to gorb yet

[worthy peak]

As if deepnest wasn't

[finite ember]

i have a deep skill issue regarding oro and mato

[fluid sigil]

making gorb look like an end boss 😭

[vivid creek]

Gorb & gorb

[finite ember]

i beat them in order

[real pasture]

You do know you need to get tram pass right?

[worthy peak]

Anyway you still climb up roughly same height

[modern trail]

WHY DO YOU DONT HAVE PURE VESSEL RADIANT HE IS SOOOO EASY

[finite ember]

i beat them in order

[modern trail]

Oh ok

[worthy peak]

Yeah. I'm saying a bit further isn't insane after already going through deepnest

[sick prism]

1

[worthy peak]

From cot

[sick prism]

gorb is the only hard one left

[finite ember]

knowing me, oro and mato will take more time than absrad

[modern trail]

I want to have NKG Radiant

[hybrid holly]

I got 1700 geos what do I buy, I just got lumafly lantern

[modern trail]

I habe im just on sublime

[sick prism]

that’s not happening

[finite ember]

that boss is the 2nd hardest boss in the game for me if we dont count arena variations

[hybrid holly]

P5

[real pasture]

You need to get up in kedge until king’s station level to even be able to go to city - without some abilities you may not even make it

[fluid sigil]

why am i fighting tiso in p5 lol

[worthy peak]

Uhh

[fluid sigil]

Yea, lol
