[foggy sable]

don't ask me I didn't make it

[keen thorn]

Healing during nkg is such a joke

[cunning gorge]

there are much more random videos

[zealous skiff]

For people like you

[zinc delta]

can a sausage roll?

[keen thorn]

Nkg is just such a joke

A boss done way too well that it becomes the easiest thing of all time

[cunning gorge]

woah woah

[foggy sable]

but I know more specific videos

[vernal knot]

No

[keen thorn]

What an irony

[foggy sable]

like sharp shadow uumuu strats

[vernal knot]

NKG is amazing damn it

[zealous skiff]

Thorns uumuu strats

[vernal knot]

I shall spam the NKG copypasta to prove my point

[zinc delta]

igot way more than just grilled cheese and sausage roll

[foggy sable]

TRUE

[cunning gorge]

grimm theme is better than nkg

[keen thorn]

Thorns only damage radiant uumuu

You should do that since you're a thorns enjoyer

[vernal knot]

Nah I think it's the other way around imo

[foggy sable]

I should

[zealous skiff]

TRUE

[vernal knot]

This applies to PV as well

[zealous skiff]

pv is better

[tropic nest]

what is uumuu thorns strats

[zealous skiff]

Theres more room for optimisation

[cunning gorge]

pv introduces new attacks

[vernal knot]

I think you get hit

And thorns like, kill Uumuu

[cunning gorge]

unlike nkg stays the same difficulty for the entire thing

[vernal knot]

I dunno' I've never used Thorns against Uumuu

[worn prism]

At least my stance on this fight has changed to it being very much possible
But holy shit the first fight

[zealous skiff]

Baldur shell + thorns to hit oomas

[cunning gorge]

nkg sounds like a continuation of grimm while grimm sounds like its own song

nkg thme is also intense for the whole thing grimms theme builds up

ik it fits the boss but as songs grimms just sounds better

[vernal knot]

Well that may be because I imagine Grimm's theme came first, and NKG is indeed a continuation of Grimm's Fight/Ritual

In all honesty I just like the faster pace of NKG compared to TMG

[keen thorn]

Wait, how did you get the last 50 hp again?

[paper seal]

doesnt nkg's theme play during the first boss when he turns into a balloon

[keen thorn]

Carefree works ig

[zinc delta]

can a baldur shell?

[vernal knot]

Genius what is your favorite HK theme

[tropic nest]

no
drums are just added

[cunning gorge]

idk bro

[keen thorn]

Theme?

[vernal knot]

Yeah

[severe wigeon]

Beat Markoth in P5 just to die to GPZ

[vernal knot]

OST

[severe wigeon]

[cunning gorge]

pale court if it counts

[keen thorn]

Sealed vessel

[vernal knot]

That's nice

[severe wigeon]

I am going to kill someone

[vernal knot]

How about you kill GPZ

How about that

[severe wigeon]

True

[zealous skiff]

Double hits?????

[severe wigeon]

[zinc delta]

[vernal knot]

Choom

[paper seal]

this might be true

[keen thorn]

I'm sorry

[vernal knot]

What's your favorite HK theme

[paper seal]

do you guys prefer white palace or pale court

[keen thorn]

That's not choom 😭

[zinc delta]

why?

[zealous skiff]

Unfortunately not me

[cunning gorge]

gold vs shinier gold

[vernal knot]

Who the fuck is ch then

[keen thorn]

Chomp

[foggy sable]

choomp clearly

[vernal knot]

But their names are very similar

[zealous skiff]

@subtle glacier Someone has a question for you

[vernal knot]

No don't do that

He is very intimidating

[zinc delta]

genio how much bss have you been grinding?

[zealous skiff]

[worn prism]

The song that plays when you kill a dreamer

Idk what it's called

[vernal knot]

Regardless, answer my question

please

[keen thorn]

Finally my tacos are ready

I can go home

[vernal knot]

What you get

[keen thorn]

None, I'm retired

I'm not going back

[zinc delta]

oh

[vernal knot]

What is Genius taco selection for today

[zinc delta]

any tips for a blue hive?

[keen thorn]

Sealed vessel prbs

[vernal knot]

Dope

[zinc delta]

5b honey dawg 😭

[vernal knot]

Now me personally I would have gotten Birria but that just me

How do you spell Birria

Oh I did it right

[worn prism]

What are good charms for nkg
Rn I have mark of pride and quick focus and quick focus has been basically useless

Could replace that with quick slash but it wouldn't be as useful with how often he moves

[zinc delta]

how many notches?

[worn prism]

9

[zinc delta]

idrk anygood charm combos for nkg tbh

[royal helm]

anyone got tips for PV or should i just grind until i learn it all

[worn prism]

If he didn't do two masks hiveblood would be useful
But he does two masks so

Guess I should just do something nail based

[royal helm]

you should use sharp shadow

[worn prism]

If only I had it

[royal helm]

oh yeah having the charm helps in using it

its not too bad to get iirc

let me check where it was

oh yeah pretty easy

[zinc delta]

it's near deepnest's working tram

[royal helm]

is dreamshield worth the 3 notches?

[zinc delta]

nah

[royal helm]

alr

im working on a build for PV

[zinc delta]

i'd rather listen to godmaster yap than use dreamshield's 3 notches

[royal helm]

im thinking unn, quick focus, quick slash, and not entirely sure what for last 3 notches

maybe mark of pride

[gray surge]

I-I did it. I beat P5. I'm so happy.

[royal helm]

WOW

nice

you got any tips for PV? 😭

[foggy sable]

gg

[gray surge]

hey that's my build! Uun, quick focus, quick slash, unbreakable/fragile strength

[royal helm]

unn, quick focus, and quick slash are all so amazing

[worn prism]

Never did i think I would actually use the mark of pride + longnail build

[gray surge]

100%, if you got to Pure Vessel you can beat it.

The guide above is probably best. He's very fair, just fast. You got it dude

[royal helm]

his dashes keep coming out WAY faster than i expect

[tulip matrix]

Im Still waiting for zoteboat 🕑

[worn prism]

Low key working too gave me my best run so far

[royal helm]

i think this is my best chance at PV, mark of pride is letting me get some crazy hits in

[worn prism]

I think I can beat him if I master dodging the uppercut

[zinc delta]

time to try get porcerlain gear in bss

[royal helm]

i was going to ask if PV got any phase 2 attacks and then circles of doom and despair

[zinc delta]

void tendrils

[worn prism]

Almost had a run that I would call genuinely good

[gray surge]

He doesn't attack otherwise during this, dodge the nearest big circle and shape of uun to heal if needed, avoiding the smaller ones with the lil wyrm

[empty lynx]

ggs twin

[empty lynx]

Good

[empty lynx]

you should try mark of pride + sbody it's cheaper and way better

[keen thorn]

There's no birria there

[keen thorn]

You're not blue until you get yourself the supreme star amulet.
Until then be mixed, make sure to get enough boosts for both colors and get the best bees for damage and honey making

[zinc delta]

nuh uh

[keen thorn]

It's incredibly bad to have a color before SSA

[zinc delta]

alr

[keen thorn]

Your goal early game (until SSA) is to quest everything you can

Unlock both star eggs

And the star treat at mother bear

If you want to prioritize blue you can, bubble mask is nice and fairly priced

But don't kill red or white please

Btw don't waste your star eggs

Use them once you have all rarities up to legendary gifted, that way they'll guarantee a mythic

[zinc delta]

are exhausted bees good?

[shut needle]

I just finished the grey mourner thing on my third try :) it was also my first try that got past the crossroads

[keen thorn]

They're decent, but not the best
Gifted exhausted is pretty nice tho

[keen thorn]

GG!

[zinc delta]

i got a gifted exhausted

[keen thorn]

Nice

What events have you got?

If you can prioritize tabby

[zinc delta]

tabby, crimson, cobalt and photon

[keen thorn]

Nice

Yeah those are the best

[zinc delta]

stacked 96 buffs on tabby so far

[keen thorn]

You should get festive and lastly puppy

[copper spruce]

Ok

[keen thorn]

Try to save up for vicious too, it's insanely op at killing things

[keen thorn]

Not ok

[tardy briar]

what are we talking about (sorry for interrupting)

[keen thorn]

Bee swarm simulator

[zinc delta]

do i get gummy bee?

[keen thorn]

Yeah, it's pretty nice.

[tardy briar]

ok

[keen thorn]

But don't target it

[zinc delta]

alr

[keen thorn]

Don't 💀 me susc

[smoky matrix]

Hi Susc.

[zinc delta]

i got 800+ gumdrops so far

[copper spruce]

Ok

[keen thorn]

For help with vicious, idk the odds but they spawn most nights in either Clover, Spide Cactus, Rose, Mountain Top or Pepper Patch

So you can reduce your search

[zinc delta]

where's pepper?

[keen thorn]

35 bee zone

[zinc delta]

oh

[keen thorn]

Lol

[zinc delta]

i only got 27 max bees

[midnight flume]

anyways i beat pop yesterday but some random kid kept interupting me

[keen thorn]

...

[analog apex]

@cold abyss

[zinc delta]

idk why but friend keeps telling me beekeeper and almost at porcelain gear is late game and i just have not but a clue why he's saying that when i've been teaching him a bit

[cerulean copper]

Ok so i have just found out i have to beat the 5 pantheons to get the platinum for the game

I think my platinum chase ends here 😃

[royal helm]

the pantheons actually arent as bad as you would think

(i say while getting cooked by p4)

[cerulean copper]

oh my god Pantheon 5 is every single one, i will not handle dying at any point in that one well at ALL

people complete this, i now see theres levels to this Hollow Knight shit 😭

[royal helm]

once you learn how to do the bosses it actually gets so much easier

beating a boss the second time is so much easier than the first time

[foggy sable]

P5 is good

[cerulean copper]

Path of Pain is needed for 112 too right?

[foggy sable]

No

[royal helm]

I BEAT PV IN PRACTICE

pantheon 4 here i come

how do you dodge the tendrils? i lowk just tanked them both times

[worn hamlet]

full hop + wings

or ddark

[royal helm]

alr

[cerulean copper]

oh

[heavy barn]

just use descending ⬇️ dark ⚫

[storm bolt]

ddark after pogoing is a better use imo

[royal helm]

we need to fix PV's posture

[nocturne saffron]

Him*

[zinc iris]

I don't remember the exact look of it's changes

[zinc iris]

Restart ur game

[tall flare]

now i cant even get 112%

[zinc iris]

U have to beat him

To unlock the rest of the quest

[nocturne saffron]

Oof

[zinc iris]

Well if u didn't beat troupe master that area won't open

[nocturne saffron]

Yeah, and no nkg fight

But he can banish the Troup instead

Right?

[zinc iris]

He can't

[tall flare]

still says i need the child to consume the flames

[zinc iris]

U have to always fight troupe master

[nocturne saffron]

Oh right

[nocturne saffron]

Try to look at the map

[zinc iris]

Are u Using mods

[nocturne saffron]

See if there's more flames left

[tall flare]

mb guys

[zinc iris]

[tall flare]

...

[nocturne saffron]

Well, I'm going on my radhog journey again

See ya later

[tall flare]

god damn

[nocturne saffron]

?

What is it

[tall flare]

hes so hard

grimm

[nocturne saffron]

Lmao yeah

Normal Grimm or nightmare king Grimm?

@tall flare

[tall flare]

normal grimm im bad

[nocturne saffron]

Bruh

What are you struggling with?

What attack?

[tall flare]

firestorm and the diagonal slash then horizontal dash

[nocturne saffron]

Firestorm?
The one with the uppercut?

[tall flare]

no the baloon thing

[nocturne saffron]

Oh

Well, idk what do say about that one

But the one where he goes down I can

First, dash away from him, and then time your pogo on him

I think that should be good

[honest saddle]

What's harder? RadHoG, or p5 all bindings?

RadHoG = radiant hall of gods

[lapis musk]

All bindings at once?

[honest saddle]

Yea

[lapis musk]

not that it matters but just to clarify

[lapis musk]

P5ab >>>>>>> radhog lol

P5ab is harder than radhog with all bindings

[hidden spire]

Refrigerator

[obtuse brook]

Chat
My brain tells me to use the username "OhioRizzer67" on Switch 2

[zinc iris]

How

Rad hog u can't take any hits at all plus all bindings

[lapis musk]

Mostly because of mask binding

some bosses in radhog are annoying like flukemarm, but at the level of p5ab you gotta be very close to nohitting most bosses

• radhog vs p5 is reverse because its a 30m, run. P5ab is an hour run so resets are harsher than individual bosses

Anyways tldr p5ab is a long run + mask binding. RadhogAB is good practise for it

[nocturne saffron]

You literally train for p5 by doing radhog

[lapis musk]

I mean progressing radhog ≠ completing radhog

radhog 44/44 is considerably harder than p5

[copper spruce]

Those hogs got radicalized?

[honest saddle]

@copper spruce ^^^

[copper spruce]

I refuse

[foggy sable]

radHoG took almost as long as r5

[lapis musk]

And watcher knights took me as long as r5

you know why that comparison is off

[foggy sable]

How long did wk take you

[subtle glacier]

holy peak

[zinc iris]

~~ get good ~~

[foggy sable]

Also I like being obtuse about challenge difficulty because it isn't set in stone

[zinc iris]

Grey has become a thorns enjoyer

[lilac belfry]

Damn, P3 is kinda hard ngl

[foggy sable]

Yes

[zinc iris]

How's r5ab going ?

[foggy sable]

I haven't done an attempt in a week

[delicate thunder]

took me a very long time but I finally beat the 5 hour speedrun ❤️

[zinc iris]

Ur healing good

[zinc iris]

Which boss

[foggy sable]

Just doing charmless instead

And thorns only charm

[zinc iris]

Sounds less miserable tbh

[foggy sable]

It only takes like 2-3 hours per completion

[zinc iris]

R5 charmless with thorns ?

[zinc iris]

Nvm then

[foggy sable]

Yes

[lilac belfry]

The Godtamer and Grimm transition
I can do Godtamer, but I'm always at around 4-5 masks

[foggy sable]

https://youtu.be/ns6CPpP-Akc?si=tsn9jCMkIQv7DJUD

Everyone should use thorns like this

[lilac belfry]

The Hive Knight -> Elder Hu -> Collector part is fine, I can clear that easily
But God Tamer gets me

[zinc iris]

U can dreamnail Grimm once for a quick bit of soul to heal

[foggy sable]

God tamer pogo then DDark on the rolls

[zinc iris]

U can also heal on his floor spikes for one mask

[lilac belfry]

I know what to do, I'm just ass at actually doing it 💀

[zinc iris]

Me with rad abs rad

[lilac belfry]

[foggy sable]

Fair enough

[nocturne saffron]

Custom Knight

This is the mod for reskinning things in the game

Resources

• Skin List by ColetteMSLP
  • ‎sᴋɪɴs ɴᴏᴛ ʏᴇᴛ ᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪsᴛ
• Skin Repository by Tadeas Jun
• Video Tutorial 🎦 by fireb0rn
• [How to use Enemy/Boss Skins](#modding-discussion message)
• Guide to Creating a Skin by HBKit

Common issues

• If the Skin List is covering up other mods, you can toggle it with Del or Fn+Del. You can edit this Keybind in the Custom Knight menu.
• If your skin doesn’t show up in the menu, ensure that you extracted it from the zip/rar/etc it came in (tutorial: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1207486627124093019/1403869873192571024/i.png).
• If your skin doesn’t work, go to Options > Mods > Custom Knight > Advanced > Fix My Skins. After this you may need to click Reload in the previous menu.
  • Upgraded Dream Shield (UDS) breaks Custom Knight’s first launch. To use both mods at once: disable UDS, open a save with only Custom Knight and wait until it stops lagging. You can then close the game and enable UDS again.
• If you see White Boxes ◻️, restart your game. You may also need to apply skins in a small room like a stag station.
• Ensure that you apply skins from the Pause Menu when your save file is loaded. Skins applied from the Main Menu only affect new files.

Troubleshooting

If your problem isn't fixed from the Common Issues section, create a post in #1057825333841240104
You must include a screenshot that shows:

• Where you installed the skin

• With the skin images visible

[tulip narwhal]

Nooooo

[nocturne saffron]

Is normal radiance good practice for absrad?

[foggy sable]

sort of but not really

[subtle glacier]

exactly that yeah

absrad is really good practice for ow rad

but ultimately, and this may surprise you

absrad is good practice for absrad

[foggy sable]

bingy is good practice for absrad

[subtle glacier]

bingy is good practice for everything

[subtle glacier]

[foggy sable]

firstly, wrong imo

secondly, what are you comparing them on anyway

[subtle glacier]

vibes

[shut cape]

practicality throughout my playthrough

[foggy sable]

oh in your playthrough

[shut cape]

And Pantheons

[foggy sable]

vs early on in overworld is better than shade soul in pantheons imo

[shut cape]

true

[subtle glacier]

dash being in A tier is very confusing to me

were you just walking

or a public transport fiend

[queen stag]

Second try on patheon I died Winged nosk

FUCK THEM and FUCK Ghost for his FEELINGS

[subtle glacier]

i have a speedrun category for you

where the primary objective is to get rid of ghosts

[worn prism]

So I did change my charm build for nkg to mark of pride, body, quick slash

Still haven't beaten him yet though
Better than my previous build however

[heavy barn]

get strength

[worn prism]

Do charms like that break if you die in a dream boss

[tropic nest]

No

[hidden spire]

Silson

[lilac belfry]

How dare you put Spirit in C tier
So many skips rely on it

[lilac belfry]

No
If it doesn't spawn a Shade, the charms don't break

[shut cape]

i play casually

but it did help me kill maskfly sooooo

[tropic nest]

white palace doesnt spawn shades

[lilac belfry]

Oh yeah

But I meant boss fights

[worn prism]

I'm beginning to realize how much stalwart shell was carrying previously

[hidden spire]

Another day to hate on sharp shadow

[lilac belfry]

It's not THAT bad
There are other charms we could be hating on instead

[hidden spire]

nah

[north tundra]

Lowkye never got
"most Hollow Knight areas look similar" when a majority of areas are different

[lilac belfry]

Like Shaman Stone and Quick Slash
F tier charms fr

[hidden spire]

Unfamiliarity towards metroidvanias I suppose

[lilac belfry]

Fr

[hidden spire]

just tell them to play silksojg first since silksong early game is more linear

[hidden spire]

in hollow knight you get lost easily

[lilac belfry]

Aw come on 😭

[hidden spire]

I don't play hollow knight at all before since I felt like it's a bit boring. I only finished Hollow knight because I finished silksong

[north tundra]

Like
Greenpath
Queen's Garden
The Hive
Resting Ground
Fog Canyon
Crystal Peaks
City of Tears
Fungal Wastes
The Abyss
Infected Crossroads
White Palace
GodHome
Vs
Forgotten Crossroads
Deepnest
Ancient Basin

[lilac belfry]

Finna get mob lynched now

[lilac belfry]

And whenever they do look similar, it's because of a shared past
Like how Greenpath and QG used to be the same area before Pale King annexed it

[hidden spire]

Maybe

I was lost on crossroads the first time I played hk

[north tundra]

It's the
"most of the map is gloomy, like the same design as crossroads" topic

[hidden spire]

I didn't play it again because I was bored

But I ended up playing it after silksong

lmao

[heavy barn]

crossroads is unfortunately the most boring area in the game design wise

[hidden spire]

mhmm

[lilac belfry]

Well that doesn't make sense. I wouldn't say anything except Crossroads or Dirtmouth is gloomy, but it's meant to be that way

[north tundra]

It does make sense as the starting area
Glad it does change to be infected

[heavy barn]

yeah but it can throw off new players

[worn prism]

Why tf did i overcharm on nkg now he does 4 masks

[north tundra]

Considering the genre is kinda made for that, it's a bit fine

[hidden spire]

Even that hollow knight is probably my top 4 mv

[lilac belfry]

So you want to throw new players into Peaks or something?
Almost every game starts with a relatively boring place
The first world in Mario is just pipes and Goombas
Riverwood in Skyrim is the most generic ass town

[red jungle]

howling cliffs:

[hidden spire]

Equal

[worn prism]

How long does it take to beat nkg with channeled nail
I got past the most intense part of the song hitting him pretty consistently

And then I died but still

Looked it up and apparently it's 116

Hits to kill him i mean

[livid crater]

omg yi 🔥

[hidden spire]

Yea!

either my first or second favorite mv

[livid crater]

I should also play mio

only played silksong hollow knight and nine sols so far

what is mv in this context

it's usually music video but typically games don't have music videos

[tropic nest]

metroidvania

[livid crater]

ah ok

thanks

[worn prism]

I hate how nkg is so predictable yet his attacks are still so awkward to dodge
Easiest is the fireballs and hardest is the uppercut

[livid crater]

I knew it was a different meaning 😭

[livid crater]

imo pufferfish is hard cus I'm not used to it

how much harder is NKG than TMG btw?

[worn prism]

Much harder imo
Did troupe master first try

[tropic nest]

probably a decent bit
its faster but every attack is dodged in the same way and there are healing windows everywhere

[livid crater]

ah ok

so the difference is faster attacks and double damage?

also I can use shape of unn to go under the bats to heal right?

[lapis musk]

• a new attack + more hp

[livid crater]

oh yeah more hp

[tropic nest]

yes
slug also allows for heals during flame pillars

[sturdy kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cat-kiss-lunaistabby-kitty-cute-cat-gif-702362695713301435

[livid crater]

yay :))

the one time shape of unn is good

[worn prism]

OK we're making progress
I no hit the first stun for the first time

[north tundra]

Genuinely forgot that place existed ngl

[north charm]

fair

[indigo grail]

Kitty cat

[worn prism]

Yo I actually lasted a decently long time that last run
Think I'm getting close

[heavy barn]

did i say that? i'm not saying it was necessarily a bad choice, but it does actually throw new players off

[sturdy kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cute-cat-cat-talk-cat-munch-cat-eating-air-gif-1010974760322201159

[foggy sable]

I would throw new players into deepnest, only the strong will survive

[worn prism]

Nah just throw them into the colosseum of fools

Then they'll have to fight zote
And obviously lose

[hoary yacht]

this cat looks almost exactly like my cat

[ebon depot]

team cherry should rewrite their games in a good language i dont want to write mods in c#

[nocturne saffron]

Grey prince zote

But he's as strong as he believes he is

[keen thorn]

I would throw them into R5

[foggy sable]

so a fun, chill, intoduction to challenge running

[ebon depot]

i should shrimply write a rust binding that wraps the modding-api , that doesnt sound terrible at all

[storm bolt]

i would throw them in irab markoth

[heavy barn]

i would throw them into i5ab

[snow fulcrum]

yoo chat just beat absrad

https://tenor.com/view/incredibles-guy-looking-gif-4439699899525303555

[snow fulcrum]

💀

[dry creek]

[lapis musk]

[pallid mist]

I was goofing off for most of it

[snow fulcrum]

surprisingly high quality cat

the youth's joyful cheers will forever be music to my ears

[subtle glacier]

rhyme

good poem

[snow fulcrum]

i wanna play silksong but i dont have it

[sturdy kelp]

i wish i could be that hype again

sadly the world has made me grim and bored

there is nothing more to gain

[subtle glacier]

play bingy

[snow fulcrum]

grimm like nkg

[subtle glacier]

bingy is the ultimate source of joy

[snow fulcrum]

🤔

[sturdy kelp]

i dont want to play hk anymore

[snow fulcrum]

buh y

[sturdy kelp]

i dont even have all achievements in skong

[subtle glacier]

tbf all cheevos in skong isn’t fun

[sturdy kelp]

im missing the uhh journal achievement

idk maybe its nostalgia

but when i beat PV years ago felt much better than finishing skong in 2025

[snow fulcrum]

pv was a pain to beat

especially ascended

lowk ascended was easier because you actually knew how to counter the moves

[grave gorge]

Hi guys

[subtle glacier]

old fate

[sturdy kelp]

am i becoming unc

is this when i start feeling nostalgia??

[grave gorge]

Yeah

[sturdy kelp]

am i like a drug addict chasing a high now unattainable??

[grave gorge]

What

[subtle glacier]

probably

[sturdy kelp]

i need to finish the hard bosses in e33

maybe i'll get that hype again

[subtle glacier]

or hop speedrunning

[naive dew]

Choomvear!!!!

I got into speedrunning hk!

[subtle glacier]

holy

what cat

[naive dew]

Any% on 1.5.78 bc i like custom knight

[subtle glacier]

valid

what’s pb

[dry creek]

chat if i wanna speedrun are there any good categories for beginners

sorry to interrupt btw

[subtle glacier]

any% and all skills are good

all skills is better than any% but less popular

[naive dew]

Dont bully me because i only have about 6 hours in speedrunning including doing full runs

43:00 flat with like 1:15 of easy easy timesave

[subtle glacier]

solid

[dry creek]

nice!!

[dry creek]

thx

[subtle glacier]

i’m not like that far ahead i don’t like any% so i can’t talk :)

[dry creek]

speedrunning is hard anyways so

[naive dew]

I lost 30s to my mother 20s to beasts fen death that i did nothing wrong it just hates me and 20 to no qga

[foggy sable]

all skills boring fog of war bingy is where it is at

[dry creek]

???

[subtle glacier]

on lp not doing qga is closer to 40s

[naive dew]

Ohhh

[dry creek]

i learned qga a while ago just for fun. im rusty now tho lol

[naive dew]

In that case i have a solid minute 30 of easy timesave rn

And i started a run last night that i saved 25s pre dash

Idk how

[subtle glacier]

hoooly

what’s your dash split time

[naive dew]

My best dash time was like 8:30 flat ?

Maybe 8:31

[subtle glacier]

very solid

[naive dew]

Claw is like 10:30

Or faster

It might be faster i forgot

[dry creek]

i get dash like 12 minutes in but thats cause i dont know fireball skip or moss knight or how to speedrun hornet

[subtle glacier]

sub 10 claw is so hype

[vale condor]

https://tenor.com/view/boop-animals-goat-cow-friends-gif-15707324

[subtle glacier]

[naive dew]

Hython!

[vale condor]

Hello

[naive dew]

Hows it going

[ebon depot]

python you can code right, let me outsource my work to you iirc i dont wanna anymore

[subtle glacier]

i never did qga in my attempts bc i just didn’t wanna have to do qga while on a good pace

[vale condor]

It's grubbing

[naive dew]

My strat lol

I either do qga first try or i die doing it it sucks

[subtle glacier]

fate

[vale condor]

I can barely code lol

[ebon depot]

coding doesnt help anyway tbf, im debugging a script written in a proprietary language that has had their documentation deleted, i moreso need a wizard then a programmer at this point

grr

[little blade]

What do you guys say is a good charm build for full P4 hitless

[ebon depot]

qs str shaman sbody mop is the most used meta for hitless pantheon running

[finite ember]

Anyone intrested in buying a goth/ goth girl parts?

[little blade]

My build rn is this

[ebon depot]

you should be overcharming

[primal bane]

Now that I think about it, using fossils as a currency is an amazing way to convince your people to preserve them, even if they don't realise it

[finite ember]

I guess no...

[ebon depot]

because theres just no drawbacks to doing so

[primal bane]

Pale King was a horrible father but actuslly not the worst ruler ever

[little blade]

But with what

[ebon depot]

qs

[lapis musk]

qslash strength shaman sbody mop

[little blade]

So longnail out?

[ebon depot]

yes

[little blade]

Ok

[finite ember]

Try being a dad yourself before you critizise. 10000 kids is not that bad to secrefice.

[primal bane]

Just my personal opinion

Swap Mark of Gay for Quick Slash

[ebon depot]

its hitless pantheons, no reason to, youre better off just OC'ing and using both

[primal bane]

What does hitless have to do with it

[ebon depot]

you can overcharm

without drawbacks

[foggy sable]

you should use nothing

charms are for cowards

[primal bane]

Ok so swap longnail for qslash

[foggy sable]

wait hang on use thorns

[lapis musk]

And sbody, yes

[foggy sable]

and if you don't want sbody put nmg or a different one notch

[naive dew]

@foggy sable hiiiiii

[foggy sable]

@naive dew hi melone hru

[little blade]

What is a good way to do P1 all bindings?

[sturdy kelp]

use debug menu

[foggy sable]

what do you mean by that

[lapis musk]

wdym?

I mean hitless would be pretty good id say

[little blade]

Yeah but i have my Problems with the soul cap tbh and no charms also

[lapis musk]

You just try to use nail arts more, and spells at 33 soul

really not much to say about the pantheon as a whole

[naive dew]

Hii im good wbu

[naive dew]

Hi zeph

[little blade]

I will try

[foggy sable]

I've relapsed back into p5ab attempts

help

[lapis musk]

You know what you're doing by using a p

[little blade]

? Is it for me a message i‘m confused rn

[lapis musk]

nah for grey lol

[little blade]

Ok

[lapis musk]

Saying p5ab sounds like they havent beaten it before

[little blade]

True

[foggy sable]

well it certainly isn't r5ab with the way I'm playing

I miss charmless

it is comfortable and chill

[storm bolt]

at least you decided to not play leagues

[foggy sable]

true it could always be worse

[storm bolt]

leagues is almost the rock bottom ngl

[lapis musk]

hm

leagues kinda peak though

[frigid terrace]

League Destiny 2 or Geometry Dash folks

[storm bolt]

nine sols

[frigid terrace]

Not one of the choices

[gray rivet]

@digital abyss

[foggy sable]

I was hoping I would get hit to vfk and leave p5ab again

[sturdy kelp]

hi

https://media.giphy.com/media/jL3WTHf5NEbCOvqpKj/giphy.gif

[unreal saffron]

Yo wsg peeps

[wispy dew]

Can someone tell me what the best amulets are to use in the final Hollow Knight battle, Empty Heart?

[unreal saffron]

What is amulet

U mean void heart?

Use sharp shadow

U can dash through him

Use unbreaking strength

[storm bolt]

sharp shadow

[unreal saffron]

Quickslash

Tf is wrong with sharo shadow

[wispy dew]

yes

[storm bolt]

use quick slash, unb strength, shaman stone, steady body and grubsong

[lapis musk]

alot

[wispy dew]

thanks

[storm bolt]

waste of notches

[unreal saffron]

Yea thats good too

[unreal saffron]

I think its subjective

[foggy sable]

I got to collector I hate p5ab again I'm dropping it for now

[sturdy kelp]

the way people use it

[lapis musk]

everything is to some extent, its still bad

[sturdy kelp]

and the way TC presented it

[lapis musk]

and if it is subjective then its not ideal to recommend blindly

[storm bolt]

collector spawning primal aspids in p5ab is diabolical

[wispy willow]

Most controversial charm btw

[unreal saffron]

Imma go ponder upon this shit and be back

[lapis musk]

atleast theyre reduced hp

[storm bolt]

still sucks to deal with

they always fly out of my cyclone range

i tried doing a small jump before activating cyclone and it still doesnt help

[wispy dew]

where I found unb strengt?

[tropic nest]

youre doing it too late then

[storm bolt]

have you get the grimm troupe?

[wispy dew]

yes

[storm bolt]

you need about 20000 geo for unb strength iirc

[tropic nest]

15k

[storm bolt]

oh

go talk to divine with fragile strength equipped

[manic plank]

guys I beat the hollow knight!

[tropic nest]

gg

[manic plank]

on first try btw

[storm bolt]

too late?

[manic plank]

and my loadout was compass, gathering swarm, dashmaster, sprintmaster, grubsong, qs...

i think i got lucky

[tropic nest]

yeah
using cyclone on an aspid doesnt fail for me, i use an unextended one as the jar comes close to the ground

[storm bolt]

...what a charm combo

i use cyclone as the jar hit the ground

[native canopy]

Guys, theres a nintendo indie world showcase for tommorrow, is it finally silksong time?

[quick parrot]

Guys, here me out. What if the Batter was in Hollow Knight?

[foggy sable]

you need to move toward the minions while you cyclone

[storm bolt]

huh

good idea

[native canopy]

Cake Batter? Mmmmmmm. i've been craving cake recently

[quick parrot]

No, I mean from OFF.

[native canopy]

I knew you weren't meaning Cake batter(i have been craving cake recently) i was just making a joke. whats OFF?

[quick parrot]

Look up OFF game

It's an indie game where a sports man commits genocides under the guise of purification.

[native canopy]

Ooh, spooky

(i knew sports was evil)

[storm bolt]

replace "sports man" with "child" and you got undertale

[native canopy]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[quick parrot]

Difference is, in Undertale you have a choice.

[native canopy]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[storm bolt]

yeah but i love playing genocide so there's only 1 choice for me

[native canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/supa-hot-fire-gif-4972452

[quick parrot]

Also, you only kill Spectres and government officials.

[native canopy]

interesting

[ashen osprey]

okay day 2 of trying hornet sentinel and i still couldnt succeed

[foggy sable]

do you want any help?

[ashen osprey]

actually yes i need some

[foggy sable]

so what items do you have?

[ashen osprey]

wait lemme open the game and send ss

Can you come to #hk-help i cant send ss here

[foggy sable]

okay

[ashen osprey]

charms or items btw

[foggy sable]

both

[ashen osprey]

ok can you wait a minute my controller not workin

[foggy sable]

items page has things like nail and spell info on it so it is good to have

all good just ping me when you have it

[ashen osprey]

ok you can loot at hk-help i send

[empty lynx]

Have at thee worms
Thou wilt meet thine maker

[foggy sable]

hi

[empty lynx]

hello

[foggy sable]

how are youu

[empty lynx]

iam gud finally got a 5 hit p5 run

[quartz cave]

no u didnt

[foggy sable]

gg!

what were the hits to

[empty lynx]

2 of the hits was to collector tho

idek how

[foggy sable]

I know collector hits very well

[empty lynx]

nuh uh

[lapis musk]

Wtf ggs

[empty lynx]

Like you ever just miscalculate stagger hits and walk into him

[foggy sable]

I've done that

[empty lynx]

and then right after you try to get close and use abyss shriek but you are roughed up because of the last hit so you walk into him again

[foggy sable]

done that as well

every hit to collector you can imagine I have done

[empty lynx]

eitherway not that bad. Would've been way better if it wasn't 2 collector hits tho

[lapis musk]

any scream skips?

[foggy sable]

I have tried

[lapis musk]

have you done them on accident in r5(ab)

[foggy sable]

I even successfully did a TL scream skip in my last f5 attempt

by accident

[empty lynx]

now iam just playing pvz reflourished and running p5 every now and then

[lapis musk]

Hop on league fr

[storm bolt]

reflourished is peak

[empty lynx]

I think now is actually the time i get bored of hk,,, (7 months is a long time tho)

[foggy sable]

I just want to be done with hk

the game sucks

[empty lynx]

but os said it's too mechanically challenging

[foggy sable]

everything about it except bingy is bad

[magic storm]

I love collector

[lapis musk]

It is very mechanical but still peak

[storm bolt]

is this what r5ab does to a person

[lapis musk]

Have you even done ascended smh

[empty lynx]

iam mobile

[foggy sable]

I was like this with charmless as well

[spare hearth]

Yo

[foggy sable]

hard pantheon runs are the worst

[empty lynx]

I have a feeling my shit will run at 5 fps per hour

[spare hearth]

No eyes just ended my p5 run

It's rough

[foggy sable]

and @lapis musk keeps being mean to me for saying p5ab

[lapis musk]

real

[storm bolt]

happens to the best of us

[magic storm]

Collector best boss

[spare hearth]

I had like full hp and just sold so hard

[lapis musk]

Because you know exactly whats you're doing

[foggy sable]

lies all lies

[lapis musk]

Im the most honest man in the world

two worlds even

[magic storm]

Who even is this arima person

[lapis musk]

You answered the question

name is right there

[foggy sable]

doubt

[magic storm]

Speaking of honesty

[foggy sable]

I have hope for ab runs though

[foggy sable]

I got a run to the halfway point on the first attempt so

[foggy sable]

I don't think that is truth

[frigid terrace]

What makes you say that

[magic storm]

it literally says in the name hes very trustworthy

[foggy sable]

just a guess

[unreal saffron]

They are government conspiracies created by governments so that we dont kiss eachother and gain omnipotence

They are robots with rubber skin

Have you ever thought its weird how you have never touched a woman?

Exactly

They want to hide their true nature from us

[storm bolt]

...that's only you

[foggy sable]

I should do f5 I think

[magic storm]

stop making stuff up smh

[foggy sable]

but with a good charm build
