[digital grove]

we should forget sisters a little more methinks

[midnight flume]

hi

[lapis musk]

ggs on rad pv

[foggy sable]

there is something for everyone

[unreal saffron]

Grimm x knight is valid

[lapis musk]

I genuinely cant get behind either of those 3 being remotely high

[digital grove]

for me its the failed champ and collector ranking thats the ragebait that gets me

[foggy sable]

for you and the other good players I think p5ab = r5 is good enough

[wary hound]

It’s not rage bait
It’s just feels
Like rude to me
Like
Undermining my
Choices and opinions
It happens so often it’s just
Hurtful

[wary hound]

Cool

[midnight flume]

what are we talking abt?

[lapis musk]

i enjoyed that one until i did r5

[unreal saffron]

Moon rise

[lapis musk]

but yeah

[digital grove]

But like you do r04 anyways so thats acceptable

[foggy sable]

and of course f5 = r5

[lapis musk]

that one genuinely bothers me more

[wary hound]

I need that in my life

[digital grove]

thats god tier ragebait

[storm bolt]

okay fr tho sorry abt that

[lapis musk]

Because p5ab = r5 is so crazy that i kinda ignore it

but f5 is close enough when it feels sincere

[wary hound]

Nah it’s alright

[foggy sable]

I genuinely think when I said that to someone they almost flew over to australia to strangle me

[digital grove]

surely anyrad 1.0 = p5ab

[storm bolt]

ty:)

[lapis musk]

Well yeah 😭

[foggy sable]

I wish I remember who gave that reaction though

[lapis musk]

See i dont gotta do allat

[foggy sable]

because it was so funny

[digital grove]

thats an actual opinion people have?

[unreal saffron]

Dark souls is a bad game

[lapis musk]

People dont like comparing, but thats the general consensus

[midnight flume]

wtf is dark souls

[wary hound]

Cool

[digital grove]

fascinating

[lapis musk]

Personally i think 1.0 is considerably easier

[unreal saffron]

Actually i take that back

[lapis musk]

but i did 1.0 post r5

[wicked trail]

I'm doing p5ab any tips

[unreal saffron]

I love darksouls

[wary hound]

I really want to over share
But I also don’t want to overshare

[foggy sable]

yes

[wary hound]

Ok
Dark souls is genuinely terrible

[foggy sable]

so many

[digital grove]

@tropic nest i see you typing hello

[storm bolt]

do what works best for you:)

[foggy sable]

all of them in fact

[digital grove]

gg p5ab

[wary hound]

Mmm

[unreal saffron]

No its not

[wary hound]

Yes it is

[wicked trail]

I've done every other pantheon hitless ab

[foggy sable]

have them all for free
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qC88RU8IXwrY58MpmXZs14UO1ECRUqBTo12RDVIKIYE/edit?usp=sharing

[tropic nest]

dont sell
gr has the doc

[digital grove]

hop p5ab doc

[safe crypt]

any tips for P5 xero

[digital grove]

lmfao

[unreal saffron]

Nooooo, the turns have tabled , i am getting ragebaited

[foggy sable]

54 pages

[wary hound]

Patience

[foggy sable]

everything you could want

[wary hound]

Mm yes

[midnight flume]

lol

[safe crypt]

i just get sniped every time even if i’m patient asf

[foggy sable]

a rare victim

[wary hound]

Then practice

And be focused

[lapis musk]

shade soul in second phase to multi hit and shred / shriek on phase transition if hes close
Start the fight with a shriek if you want, then just be patient

[safe crypt]

👍 doing that

[midnight flume]

im still stuck on sly in p5

[safe crypt]

should i use shaman or strength for p5

[digital grove]

i never would have thought id see the day when someone needs that whole doc

[unreal saffron]

Is it possible to beat p5 using thorns

[safe crypt]

sly hard

[digital grove]

its possible hitless even!

[foggy sable]

I know it is so rare

[lapis musk]

Always strength, shaman i recommend if you're good at spells but otherwise qfocus and mop are alternatives

[worn prism]

What charms would yall recommend for delicate flower

[tropic nest]

i used a lot of it

[foggy sable]

normally I'm like yeah go to page 47 for absrad

[unreal saffron]

I cant beat p3 bcuz of him

[lapis musk]

grey p5ab doc carried me fr

[safe crypt]

i use mop strength quick slash steady body and nailmaster glory

[midnight flume]

none just kill all the enemys and dont sit on the bench

[lapis musk]

Mop -> shaman is good if you're comfortable doing so, otherwise thats fine

[pearl frost]

hey guys, need some help with progression.
So i just beat radiance so im thinking of attempting gpz or nkg before going to god seeker.
I heard if i dont beat gpz in brettas house then he wouldnt appear in the pantheons, is that true?

[tropic nest]

yes

[lapis musk]

i still recommend shade souls in phase 2 / shrieks on phase transition

[midnight flume]

yeah

[safe crypt]

ok ok i do need the range most of the time so maybe not

[autumn ice]

I'm also a mop -> qfocus believer but yea that's preference

[tropic nest]

thats boring though

[lapis musk]

Or qfocus is also good

[foggy sable]

I think I have helped at least 3 people through p5ab so it was worth

[lapis musk]

agreed

[wary hound]

Whats ur percent atm

[midnight flume]

i reccomend not defeating him brettas house cuz he sucks

[safe crypt]

is quick focus really that good for p5

[brave kite]

no it's a big ass loss of time

[lapis musk]

I believe so

[wary hound]

If u need to heal a lot sure

[pearl frost]

102%, donno how to get the rest of the 12%

[autumn ice]

Quick focus is kinda broken yeah

[pearl frost]

yea ik ive tried fighting him

[safe crypt]

what would i change it for its 3 notches right

[digital grove]

its a great option for the third 3 notch slot youd usually want

[midnight flume]

well u dont need zote cuz hes a pain in the ass

[lapis musk]

Id almost argue qfocus > shaman for your average player

[autumn ice]

It falls off a cliff post p5 individual bindings but until then it's actually insane

[lapis musk]

obviously shaman becomes alot better later but yh

[wary hound]

5 percent
From godhome
Some from charms
And prob from Grimm content pack

[lapis musk]

Mop

[safe crypt]

dang

any tips for not using mop

[autumn ice]

Dodging gpz

[wary hound]

Use mop

[lapis musk]

But any of shaman/mop/qfocus is fine, just try them out

[tropic nest]

wdym
zoteless p5 may as well be cheating

[lapis musk]

Not really

You get used to it

[autumn ice]

Just gotta get used to the shorter range

[midnight flume]

zote just fucking sucks

[pearl frost]

I have all charms, missing nkg and i thought godhome wasnt included in the percentage?

[autumn ice]

Takes a bit but not so bad

[safe crypt]

yea but zoteless p3 is chill

[lapis musk]

Godhome is 5%

[safe crypt]

i did that and then beat zote

[digital grove]

the zote haters in chat smh

[midnight flume]

u get 4 percent from godhome

[tropic nest]

5

[safe crypt]

did u do all colos

[tropic nest]

godtuner is a %

[pearl frost]

what colosseums, all ik is about fools

[lapis musk]

godtuner isnt technically godhome iirc but i lowk forgot how you get it

[safe crypt]

there’s three tho

[wary hound]

U might be missing something else I forgot cause I’m not sure what u could be missing in that 10 percent

[safe crypt]

in fools

[pearl frost]

wheres the other three?

[midnight flume]

all the levels of colos

[wary hound]

Wait colo
Grimm and
Godhome

[foggy sable]

give key to godseeker

[safe crypt]

in coliseum of fools there’s three trials

[tropic nest]

it drops by godseeker when the thing is unlocked

[lapis musk]

Which is still junk pit

[pearl frost]

Yeah ive done that

[safe crypt]

k

[foggy sable]

yes

[lapis musk]

Technicalities but eh

[safe crypt]

did u ascend the seer

[midnight flume]

do grim content pack

[midnight flume]

dosnt gie percent

[lapis musk]

All charms? 3 void spells? All nail arts?

[lapis musk]

It does

[foggy sable]

it does

[safe crypt]

no but the dreambosses

[pearl frost]

Yes

[midnight flume]

oh

[lapis musk]

Dream bosses arent % (half except nkg)

[safe crypt]

and it does

[safe crypt]

oh

[lapis musk]

Not a single one is required for 112

[pearl frost]

ok on it

[autumn ice]

Cant you just look up a list of what you need for 112%

[safe crypt]

https://hollowknightchecklist.com/

[lapis musk]

^ or save file analyzer

[midnight flume]

im pretty sure i got 112 percent before ascending the seer

[autumn ice]

Feels like it'd be more efficient atp

[safe crypt]

here use this

[pearl frost]

thank you

[tropic nest]

nop

[lapis musk]

Not possible

[safe crypt]

yea seer is a percent i think

[midnight flume]

DAWG DONT GET ME TWEAKING

I GOT 112 PERCENT BEFORE SEER 😢

[foggy sable]

incorrect

or your game is bugged

[safe crypt]

THATS a percent so

um

[foggy sable]

ascending seer is a % this is not debatable

[lapis musk]

lowk dream bosses should be %

give a number cleaner than 112

[pearl frost]

ah hearing the seers last words also required

[safe crypt]

i like 112

[pearl frost]

im at 1800 essence rn but havent done no eyes

[safe crypt]

it’s clean now

[lapis musk]

I mean 112 is iconic now

[zinc iris]

116?

[pearl frost]

dont know how to get the rest tho

[lapis musk]

But yeah changing it in the past would be nice

[midnight flume]

have u done soul tyrant alot of ppl miss that

[lapis musk]

I do prefer 116, 120 would probably be easy to make

[pearl frost]

yes

[lapis musk]

soul tyrant white defender lost kin failed champion grey prince zote

[midnight flume]

what dream bosses have u done

[lapis musk]

is a nice 1600

[zinc iris]

But then you'd have to make killing zote a percent too

[pearl frost]

pretty sure all the warrior dreams except no eyes

[lapis musk]

i was responding to their 1800 essence msg, but also i dont think that would be a bad idea, maybe (?)

[hidden spire]

C

[pearl frost]

wheres white defender?

[last leaf]

alr completely random but have you actually hitless p5?

[lapis musk]

to the right of dung defenders arena, you ddark under the lever

[foggy sable]

just lost an ab run to crystal guardian I'm quitting hk again

[hidden spire]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-hornet-backfire-death-pain-gif-3684222954881110574

[lapis musk]

i have

[haughty edge]

shawww

[pearl frost]

ah, gonna go check

[lapis musk]

more than once now

[lapis musk]

You have to have done all dreamers first iirc

[last leaf]

holy fuck how the hell can you do that 😭

[hidden spire]

HK_glazer when he meets HK_hater (me)

[lapis musk]

lots of time on the game

lots of help from people in this server

[autumn ice]

It really is mostly about putting in the hours

Having fun with the grind

[tropic nest]

crystal guardian is under hated

[lapis musk]

Forgot that step

[last leaf]

truly finna be a mexican standoff

[autumn ice]

Dont worry i did too

[wicked trail]

I just died to uumuu in p5 wtf

[haughty edge]

hello arima, any tips for hitless p5 that could help overall with the run

[autumn ice]

But i'm told it helps

[last leaf]

i would catch the joker mentality if i tried

[lapis musk]

idk i dont really have general tips, just watch some runs and dont be afraid to fight bosses quickly ykwim

[astral isle]

dont get hit

[foggy sable]

most dangerous p4 boss

[lapis musk]

Playing ultra safe isnt the best idea

[haughty edge]

im currently attempting it and my record so far is 11 hits (and 5 hits i only had cus i was tired and got distracted) so i could probably do more if i actually lock in

[autumn ice]

I'd shout out lumos's p5 hitless commentary video

Helped a lot for me

[lapis musk]

ive yet to see that actually i wanna check it out

[haughty edge]

thanks

[autumn ice]

Lowkey i wanna make something like that for silksong someday, but that's another matter

[lapis musk]

For sure, it takes time and patience though but just check out some content and practise the bosses/segments you struggle with

[lapis musk]

Are there any more rs4 clears now?

[autumn ice]

Besides that I also like using mods to practice

[autumn ice]

Not that I know of, just ash and I so far

[lapis musk]

wow sick

[autumn ice]

Haven't really looked though

[astral isle]

rs4?

[lapis musk]

r5 in sk mods

[autumn ice]

So maybe i've missed someone, very possible

[lapis musk]

Probably some chinese player(s)

[astral isle]

wow

so u play as hornet in p5 radiant

[foggy sable]

I think for hitless p5 you should not practice and not watch other clears

just suffer until you get it

[lapis musk]

Its against sk bosses

[astral isle]

oh

[lapis musk]

its just r5 in sk

[last leaf]

how did yall do r markoth consistenly 😭

that shit took me hours

[lapis musk]

[brave kite]

nail arts

[haughty edge]

yeah no im playing it as fast as i can, i think the only time i truly play safe is on soul tyrant 6 orbs attack (i hit with nail once then dash away), but even so i still shade soul him a couple times if i can. the rest i usually play it very fast and im pretty consistent at it. I think im more consistent on PV and abs rad than the previous phase.

[brave kite]

nail the arts

[lapis musk]

how many times have we talked about practising

[brave kite]

collect my great slashes

collect my dash slashes

[astral isle]

we dont

[foggy sable]

uhhhhhh zero

[last leaf]

fair enough but markoth still a hoe

[brave kite]

collect my pogos, collect my vengeful spirits

[lapis musk]

be careful with 'as fast as you can' but yeah its a hard challenge, 11 hits is already super good

[brave kite]

not if you practice him for long enough

[lapis musk]

You can punish tyrant spiral attack with 5 nail hits + a shriek but its optional

[wicked trail]

A good start

[autumn ice]

The main practice mods I used were custompantheon to have practice on the problem bosses without focusing on specific ones too hard, debug mod for overall utility, and godseekerplus for segment practice (note: if you savestate then load state in the bench room of a godseekerplus segment, it lets you play out that segment until the end of the pantheon instead of dragging you out at the next bench, i liked using that)

[lapis musk]

depends how much you struggle with him

[midnight flume]

nah markoth is sstill a bitch

[brave kite]

no

[lapis musk]

Custom pantheon is interesting

[astral isle]

[last leaf]

bro got pv and nkg before mmc 😭 (nice job lol)

[last leaf]

markoth is a bitch u cant change my mind

[haughty edge]

yeah i gotta get used to that, also i wanna practice hitting him twice on his dive move if possible, i only hit him once currently, but yeah, not like it matters much, just style points

[wicked trail]

I find most of them too boring as ive done all pantheons hitless ab except for p5

[last leaf]

my whole personality is hating on this fuck

[autumn ice]

I liked it, was a way to keep the boss practice fresh

[brave kite]

your mind will change itself

[lapis musk]

yeah thats another that is nice but unnecessary if your tyrant is already fine

[wicked trail]

Is this writing fire

[last leaf]

alr well fuck me am i the only one who has to hitless pantheons?

[lapis musk]

i was too lazy to set it up tbh, just used gs+ segments

[autumn ice]

Yea fair enough

It's not needed

[wicked trail]

I have a thousand hours on this game

[foggy sable]

@lapis musk I kinda like you having the name change because now people annoy you about hitless challenges

[lapis musk]

I have done some radtheon uses with it now though, simpler to do than i though

[lapis musk]

guh i'll make it arima | greyfire has done r5

[pearl frost]

h-how?

[last leaf]

fair i got like 400

[foggy sable]

please no

[quartz cave]

no u have not

[lapis musk]

Sorry to hear that

[lapis musk]

Do i know you buddy

you dont want this knuckle sandwich

[foggy sable]

I don't want people to annoy me about it I want to do cryptic hints and be counterproductive from the sidelines

[quartz cave]

guh

[last leaf]

how many hrs do u have?

[lapis musk]

id have to check, but a few hundred

[runic summit]

Guys best charms for thk

[haughty edge]

also on soul tyrant i try to finish him with full soul almost, then on markoth i get a couple nail arts hits and then i shade soul the shit out of him so he barely reaches second phase. I feel like that's the best way to pretty much skip markoth cus it's always a pain in the ass

[lapis musk]

yeah no thats good

Shade soul if full soul / when hes phase 2 is great

[autumn ice]

Markoth phase skip is very nice yeah

[lapis musk]

Thats why i hate (r)ab markoth

cant skip it

[autumn ice]

There's also the tech of waiting for a spin in a good spot to phase transition him so you have more time to push dmg before phase 2

[wicked trail]

Going for radabsrad next

[haughty edge]

yeah that sucks

[lapis musk]

Yeah its the hit after he reaches half hp iirc

17 nail hits or smt

[autumn ice]

Having r4 but not radabsrad

[hidden spire]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/990475348846194742/1471833215042846722/image0.gif

[foggy sable]

imo r3 was easier than radabsrad

[storm bolt]

strength,qs,shaman,sbody,grubsong or nmg

[lapis musk]

tbf grey has p5ab but not p4ab

[wicked trail]

I didn't ever really use HOG

[lapis musk]

you know why that comparison is off

[foggy sable]

sorry I went for 10 minutes without a bad opinion

[lapis musk]

guh

[foggy sable]

I did r3 a few years ago okayyyy

[lapis musk]

alr grandma

[foggy sable]

well last year maybe

[autumn ice]

Wasnt it like 7 narts on p5 markoth

I forget it's been 4 years

[foggy sable]

I think so but I don't count hits

[autumn ice]

(Why has it been 4 years im so old bro)

[lapis musk]

I dont know the nart count

i can check rq

[autumn ice]

Actually wait i think i open with a shade soul double hit in that fight

And then do 6 narts? Maybe 5

[pearl frost]

is it absurd for me to say that i think failed champion is harder then normal radiance

[autumn ice]

But imo nart count is more important on markoth because that's probably how you'll hit him

[lapis musk]

It is 7

[autumn ice]

Depends on gear

Full gear failed champ is an actual joke

But he scales a lot harder as your gear gets worse

[foggy sable]

I never counted hits

[midnight flume]

yeah it took me a while after beating radiance to finnaly deal with failed champion

[haughty edge]

honestly, no

[foggy sable]

because I didn't know hp numbers partly

[autumn ice]

Ok but grey just because you did something for your r5 does not make it a good idea

I feel like this has been established already

[pearl frost]

well ive already got all possible charms with a good loadout i think but hes still pretty hard, he keeps freakign jumping back as soon as i ddark

[foggy sable]

all my ideas are good ideas

[autumn ice]

Main thing with full gear failed champ is that once you down him once he's scripted

You can just down him again before he really gets to do anything

[lapis musk]

wait wtf ur so cool

[pearl frost]

huh really?

also i just realised he doesnt give soul in his armour phase..

[autumn ice]

I forget the exact sequence but yeah you can

[foggy sable]

nooooo you can't agree

[autumn ice]

You dont even need that though

[lapis musk]

Slandering greyfire strats is my favourite pasttime

hop on good vfk strats

[autumn ice]

Important thing to know is the dream nail into hit his armor when he's down for infinite soul

[foggy sable]

I will never

[tacit sage]

Should I save Zote on my next save?

[foggy sable]

I run ab now anyway

[foggy sable]

my good strats

[lapis musk]

there are still ab strats

[foggy sable]

they are all good

[lapis musk]

The ominious pv pillars punish lurking in the corner

[tropic nest]

yes killing zote is fraudulent

[lapis musk]

ngl shade soul pv has been really growing on me

[midnight flume]

no

[autumn ice]

Where do you even shade soul pv besides fogus

[foggy sable]

me when my strat is 100% consistent but a bit silly

[lapis musk]

i dont on focus

On triple hit its 2-3 multihit

in AB i optimise my soul usage by doing that

[autumn ice]

Sharo shadown through triple and then shade soul holy

That sounds broken as hell

[lapis musk]

iirc you can actually do that but the timing with sshadow is alot harder

[knotty ravine]

No

[autumn ice]

Ah ok sorry

[lapis musk]

sharo hsadow

[foggy sable]

another sharp shadow optimisation

time to tell everyone to run sharp shadow on pv

[autumn ice]

Can we just ban grey

[lapis musk]

no objection

[autumn ice]

At the moderation team

[foggy sable]

I don't think so

[lapis musk]

I did have a look a while ago to find some, just out of curiosity

[foggy sable]

I will simply appeal and say r5=p5ab and get banned a second time

[dry creek]

should i add hollow knight or silksong to the wheel of games to play

[autumn ice]

Self aware at least

[lapis musk]

tell throwout you like wosk > wnosk

[wind garnet]

Banger

[foggy sable]

wosk is just better

[wicked trail]

That's not ridiculous though

[midnight flume]

yes.

[lapis musk]

Suscat

[foggy sable]

I don't care if more people say wnosk

[lapis musk]

Is triple hit shade soul on pv triple slash exclusive to shaman

[dry creek]

ok

[wicked trail]

Nosk is just a boring fight without wings

[wind garnet]

I’m going to bed cro

[wind garnet]

No

[midnight flume]

(:

[dry creek]

i say nosket

[lapis musk]

okay i just suck then

[foggy sable]

say both out loud next to each other and tell me wosk doesn't sound better

[dry creek]

nosket

[lapis musk]

I do agree with wosk dw

[foggy sable]

always

[wind garnet]

Just dash through as soon as he does a triple slash turn shade soul boom

[lapis musk]

or even nosk 2

[lapis musk]

guh it only ever double hits

[foggy sable]

aha someone who agrees

[lapis musk]

but im playing safe so maybe thats why

[foggy sable]

finally after all this time

[autumn ice]

All it took was someone without r5

Interesting

[dry creek]

hollow knight won against slime rancher so im gonna play hollow knight

also i like wosk too

[wind garnet]

R5 cult sheep people

[lapis musk]

or p5ab 😭

[dry creek]

cult of the lamb ref

[wind garnet]

No

[foggy sable]

I need the win

don't take it from me

[dry creek]

joke zawg

[autumn ice]

Do not worry i'm an r5 hater

[lapis musk]

flukenest pv or r5

[wicked trail]

I'm working on both rn and they're both hard thus they're equal

[autumn ice]

I'm just not a liar either

[lapis musk]

this might be a grey alt acc

[wind garnet]

Cro…

[dry creek]

what are HOLY SHIT

[wind garnet]

Genuinely I would rather die

[foggy sable]

I've never met someone who has done both and thinks they are even close to equivalent I need to find someone

[bold nest]

[lapis musk]

Yeah no thats reasonable

[foggy sable]

anyone who agrees

[primal rampart]

me

[dry creek]

I JUST WENT INTO THE DARK GODSEEKER GLAGR

PLACE

[wind garnet]

Alright buh bye chat

[lapis musk]

Gncb

[wind garnet]

[wicked trail]

Land of storms?

[wind garnet]

Gncb that’s a acronym I haven’t heard in a long time

[dry creek]

yes i dreamnailed them and then i was there

[lapis musk]

grandmaster cornerboost

[tropic nest]

it doesn't sound,, that,,, crazy
maybe the runs will be hellish and im wrong

[bold nest]

Guys can I get 2 number 9s, a number 9 large and an eigth?

[dry creek]

ok godhome time

[lapis musk]

well pure difficulty its a huge gap, but low hit p5 / full gear in general is alot nicer then AB imo

[dry creek]

what boss should i practice of the difficult ones since im rusty

[lapis musk]

tryna reduce those like 3 hit pbs is miserable though

[wicked trail]

Absrad

[dry creek]

k

havent played in forevrr so im gonna #die

[autumn ice]

Just fluke it (not the charm)? Sounds easy idk

[lapis musk]

guh

[foggy sable]

just go from 6 to 0 hit pb really fast

[dry creek]

charm builds anyone? no i will not be equipping bad charms or charms only fit for speedrunning

[foggy sable]

simple

[lapis musk]

i had like 3x 1 hit runs before r5

that wasnt enjoyable

[brave kite]

absrad and zote, the pther ones are negligible trust

[dry creek]

im also a little rusty on pv and nkg but that wont take much to accomplish

[autumn ice]

Lowkey tho i'm kinda glad in hindsight that my second r5 kinda destroyed me

[oblique shuttle]

except ascended markoth fr

[autumn ice]

Made the whole grind feel more complete

[lapis musk]

see now why would you do it again

[foggy sable]

fun

[autumn ice]

Debug mod was enabled on the first clear because i was doing a quick low reset session before leaving for a week

[lapis musk]

ohh unlucky

[grave gorge]

Hello guys

[lapis musk]

is QoL allowed for r5 and similar?

[foggy sable]

no

[autumn ice]

Then when i came back i got absrad distance in like an hour and another absrad dist within 10h, and so i got baited into going again

[lapis musk]

because i actually need it

[foggy sable]

because it changes enemy attack ai

[lapis musk]

guh

[autumn ice]

(It then took 70 more hours to win )

[foggy sable]

like making uumuu best cycle each time

[lapis musk]

i need it to keep my cursor on my monitor

so yeah my run will always be invalid anyways

[foggy sable]

and iit might change wk ai I'm not sure

[lapis musk]

I mean my uumuu cycles were clearly not good

but i wasnt interested in the list anyways

[wicked trail]

Hog uumuu is lwk an opp

[foggy sable]

I found r5 reclear very annoying

because of a lot of pb 1s

and a few absrad deaths

[lapis musk]

I dont see myself doing it tbh

seems unfun

[foggy sable]

it was about 7 hours of annoying

[autumn ice]

[dry creek]

i died first phase lmao

[foggy sable]

not even that bad just annoying

[lapis musk]

didnt you have to redo it so it got accepted?

[foggy sable]

tbf if you reclear when you are much better than at first clear it is easier

[foggy sable]

yes because first clear had no mod list shown

[lapis musk]

yeah thats right

[autumn ice]

[lapis musk]

and i wouldnt be able to do it without QoL so its pointless

[autumn ice]

This is some very advanced knowledge thank you grey

[foggy sable]

of course, I am the source of much r5 knowledge and wisdom

[lapis musk]

Almost thought it'd be harder

[autumn ice]

Ah why did i say something

[foggy sable]

coming off all the 04r things charms were weird again

[dry creek]

almost hitless phase 1

[autumn ice]

The main problem with r5 being bad is that there's so many funny things you could do that involve r5

[foggy sable]

true

[autumn ice]

Imagine the clickbait for back to back r5 and fwg

[foggy sable]

like this

[autumn ice]

Yeah unfortunately not happening because r5 makes fwg look appealing

[foggy sable]

https://youtu.be/ns6CPpP-Akc

[vale condor]

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

[dry creek]

died phase 2 :/

[foggy sable]

more people need to do silly r5 challenges not absurdly difficult ones

[lapis musk]

shouldve chucked on baldurs to actually use toa

[foggy sable]

true

final phase absrad baldur strats

[lapis musk]

Do the uumuu toa strats

[analog apex]

@quartz cave shut up.

im sorry i didnt mean it

[foggy sable]

I should do an all hit r5 run

and submit it to TH and see what they do with it

[lapis musk]

65 hits iirc

[foggy sable]

getting banned from the server%

[lapis musk]

i am curious what the rng is for that

let me check rq

[foggy sable]

well no mods for carefree rng is the problem

[lapis musk]

that barely changes much

It would only affect 1 of the 65 hits

anyways is baldurs 3 or 4 hits until it breaks

[dry creek]

chat i just had a terrible phase 1. any tips for dodging the orbs she spawnd btw

[autumn ice]

4

[tropic nest]

4

[lapis musk]

Ty

[autumn ice]

65 is the right number

I know i've shitposted about that before

[lapis musk]

so its (cfm if seg 1) > badurs > cfm > baldurs > cfm > baldurs > cfm > baldurs > cfm

[pearl frost]

have u done soul tyrant or master? if so then its basically the same thing

[foggy sable]

I shall just submit useless runs to them until they get sick of me

[pearl frost]

just let them hit the ground and dont let them linger for too long

[autumn ice]

It should just be 1 in 10^32 no

[lapis musk]

which is 7(4) + 5 = 33 cfm procs

[foggy sable]

compass only r5 would truly be an innovation

[lapis musk]

oh wait no cfm reset so yeah 32

[autumn ice]

Assuming 100% rate on first cfm proc

[lapis musk]

100?

isnt it 90/99

[autumn ice]

Idk maybe

[pearl frost]

also try to shriek past phase 1 it should take u about 15 to 30 seconds and take ur time in phase 2 but be vary

[autumn ice]

I just made the assumption that it's 100% first hit 10% for the rest bc that number is nice

And gives good enough order of magnitude either way

[lapis musk]

Looks like 1.25 * 10^-31 %

If my math is right.. looks fun

[autumn ice]

See good enough

[lapis musk]

@foggy sable chop chop

you got that in the bag lowk

[foggy sable]

sorry I'm busy that day

[autumn ice]

33 hit r5 sounds funny and not that stupid tho

[subtle glacier]

[lapis musk]

Still sounds like a very scary %

[foggy sable]

not if you get hit in the p1 section

[lapis musk]

not bothered to calculate but yk

[foggy sable]

just reset on vk repeatedly until cfm triggers

[lapis musk]

And then 32 more hits

[autumn ice]

Yeah there's this thing called baldur shell

[lapis musk]

uh yeah no i definitely didnt forget about that

i was testing you

[autumn ice]

Did i pass

[lapis musk]

with flying colours

[pearl frost]

ok nevermind failed champion was easy as hell

forget about him being harder then radiance

[lone laurel]

Failed Champion is by no means easy, but yeah he is easier than Radiance.

[pearl frost]

shade soul says otherwise

[lone laurel]

I consider him the first real ‘test’ of the player’s ability when it comes to Hollow Knight’s Superbosses.

[vernal knot]

I disagree imo

[autumn ice]

Again it is just gear dependant

Low gear failed champ is a very real threat

Full gear failed champ is a complete loser

[lone laurel]

He’s absurdly fast, everything is 2 Damage per hit, and he leaves no openings to Heal until you Stagger him, so it’s a very punishing fight if you mess up.

[pearl frost]

true

[lone laurel]

And with how massive all his Hitboxes are, it’s way too easy for one hit to lead into several more and you being dead in literal seconds.

[pearl frost]

dash to the side, shade soul 3 times, quick slash him until he goes down (very easy btw) when he goes down dream nail him to get more soul, and im pretty sure its 90% guranteed he goes frantic after the first phase so the fight is rinse and repeat basically

[lapis musk]

But the heal window on stagger is infinite

[foggy sable]

I was doing sob and zoned out what is this about

[lapis musk]

ew sob

[sand wharf]

soul isnt

[pearl frost]

whats a sob

[lapis musk]

Dream nail + stagger reset

[sand wharf]

when someone is crying

[foggy sable]

well I was zoned out

[pearl frost]

great

[quartz cave]

dni bald

[foggy sable]

an abbreviation of an endgame boss

[quartz cave]

its oke

[analog apex]

i have plenty of hair buddy

[lone laurel]

Yeah like. He can be taken out consistently once you master the timing, though getting to that point’s the hard part.

[sand wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/he-made-a-statement-false-gif-13774880078983088301

[analog apex]

pissing me off im finna yell at @fresh isle now

[sand wharf]

tf did eloki do to you bruh 😭

[pearl frost]

who tho

[analog apex]

dunno i js yell at her when im mad or upset

[lone laurel]

Sisters Of Battle.

[sand wharf]

spure of bvessel

[pearl frost]

ah

isnt traitor lord also in that battle?

[sand wharf]

NO

where tf did you get that 😭

its probably modded

[lapis musk]

Tribe of battle

[lone laurel]

Nope. It’s a rematch against the Mantis Lords, only difference being you fight all three sisters at the second Phase instead of two.

[pearl frost]

idk man i saw it somewhere once

[sand wharf]

traitor lord is wayy higher up than sisters of battle

[lapis musk]

Mod

[sand wharf]

yeah thats the modded one

[pearl frost]

ah alright

is dung defender talking about isma in his sleep?

[sand wharf]

in his sleep you fight him

and he talks about loyalty to the king

[pearl frost]

ah

[chrome matrix]

imo the radiance was somehow easier than failed champion 🥹

[lone laurel]

Ye. If you Dream Nail Isma, or rather, whatever’s left of Isma, her last thoughts are also of the Defender.

[sand wharf]

this is so wrong

i didnt get to her in hk so i fought her in silksong and she is soo hard

[lone laurel]

I can see that, depending on the player. Radiance is a nasty fight, but becomes significantly easier if you figure out the Abyss Shriek skip.

[chrome matrix]

No, no, just imo, maybe for you failed champion was easier. But for me, I struggled alot of failed champion and then when it came to the radiance I didn't struggle much other than at the beginning

[wispy willow]

Heya

[sand wharf]

absrad or just radiance

[chrome matrix]

Abyss Shriek ❤️

[chrome matrix]

just radiance, absrad is def harder

[chrome matrix]

ello

[lone laurel]

Since Shaman Stone-boosted Abyss Shriek lets you essentially ‘skip’ one of Radiance’s Phases due to the sheer Burst Damage.

[pearl frost]

yea, i find that kinda op ngl

[wispy willow]

Abyss shriek my goat

[sand wharf]

all i got to is pure vessel

[wispy willow]

But ddark is better

[chrome matrix]

How hard is pantheon 4?

[sand wharf]

fr

[wispy willow]

Why are you dying ☠️ to bosses 👨🏼? You should just be using descending dark 🕶. Descending ⬇️ dark 🕶️ gives you iframes 👀 which stop 🛑 you taking damage 😔. It also does a🅰️🅰️ lot of damage 😢. Stop 🛑 dying ☠️ to video 📻📻👾 game 👾 bosses 👨🏼 and just use descending ⬇️ dark 🌑

[quiet shadow]

what did thehollow say to the knight @zinc field @foggy copper

[foggy copper]

get goo

[zinc field]

umm idk

[wispy willow]

No voice to cry suffering

[storm bolt]

thanks i'll remember to use ddark on the hand of the king next time

[wispy willow]

Dead cells?

[storm bolt]

yep

[nocturne saffron]

Fuck markoth

[finite ember]

Someone wants to buy a goth girls parts?
Livers,lungs,hearts,hands,legs etc etc.

[chrome matrix]

ddark helps so much

[sand wharf]

for me it was decently challenging, i ended up using a basically full heal build (shae of unn quick focus deep focus steady body and some other 1 notch charm) but most of p4 is double damage bosses

[oblique shuttle]

how tf was that easier 😭

[warm adder]

Nah I’ll pass

[wispy willow]

I have to play dead cells but the control scheme is kinda crazy

[storm bolt]

i'll pass

[sand wharf]

what the fuck man

[warm adder]

Real

[chrome matrix]

💔 sounds like pain... gonna love it

[storm bolt]

wdym by "crazy"?

[foggy sable]

why are you like this go to hk gen if you want to be weird

[chrome matrix]

idk... it just was

[wispy willow]

Have any kidneys?

[finite ember]

Yes

[wispy willow]

Crazy = ass

[chrome matrix]

hands? is that a jojo's reference?

[wispy willow]

Price?

[finite ember]

Depends on model.

[storm bolt]

...it's just attack, double jump and dodge roll

like pretty much every other mv

[sand wharf]

wait i just remembered i changed my loadout on my winning run i did shape of unn quick focus quick slash (very good for pv) and idk what i did for rest 3

[lapis musk]

sou for pv?

What does that help for

[sand wharf]

jojo? is that a jojo reference

[wispy willow]

But mouse

[sand wharf]

shape of unn lets you heal practically anywhere in any boss fight

[chrome matrix]

Hating on jojo's is a jojo's reference

[wispy willow]

JoJos is so ass

[storm bolt]

use keyboards then?

[tropic nest]

yes but pv

[lapis musk]

Thrust?

[wispy willow]

True

[sand wharf]

yeah in pv it also makes your hitbox considerably smaller

[storm bolt]

dead cells is peak i highly recommend it

[chrome matrix]

I feel like using baldur shell instead of shape of unn is a bit better, but thats just me

[finite ember]

WHAT MODEL YOU WANT

[sand wharf]

baldur shell is good for like radiant fights imo cuz it blocks damage but shape of unn lets you dodge everything and its so good with quick focus

[wispy willow]

Idk medium

[pearl frost]

erm what

[chrome matrix]

yeah thats true, you could also use both to become a cute little snail

[wispy willow]

Goth girl kidneys

[pearl frost]

ah, gotcha

[storm bolt]

some of y'all belong to hk-gen

[sand wharf]

you can use sporeshroom to get some little mushrooms on the snail

[sand wharf]
