hk-discussion

[spark abyss]

ok

[dusky coral]

now this, THIS is peak

wouldnt yall agree

[subtle glacier]

bro does not want a hospital bill

[spark abyss]

bros overdoesed with lifeblood

I mean its ok

[subtle glacier]

disbeliever of the healing process

[spark abyss]

But u basically put all ur stats on defense

[dusky coral]

i could use all that precious soul to throw random bullshit rather than spend precious time and soul to heal

wait chat

i think i found a peak build

[honest shale]

i audibly gagged looking at that

[dusky coral]

poor godseeker its a real stinkfest for him

[honest shale]

really

I couldnt tell

[dusky coral]

the womb babies are exploding into stink clouds and every time i heal theres an even bigger stink cloud

and i passively emit a stink cloud as well

[honest shale]

dont forget flukenest

[dusky coral]

oh yea

wait

i should stream this fr fr

@honest shale join vc

im not gonna talk no mic

[honest shale]

i cant

[dusky coral]

awh

[dusky coral]

anyway im streaming this horror in hk2 vc join if u wanna see

[honest shale]

im out rn

[gaunt plank]

i just got to the ||City of tears|| part where u need ||Double jump||, without ||Double jump||, didnt even know it was possible

[abstract shard]

the build i used since i got all charms is gc, unbreakable strengh, grubsong, quick slash

ik no one asked tho but i just tell yall

[honest shale]

watchers spire is incredibly easy to accidentally skip wings for

you dont even need it for the next few rooms

[dusky coral]

god i hate doing gorb without sbody

[abstract shard]

no one asked me again but i beated watchers first try first run ever

[spark abyss]

ok

[honest shale]

yk man i dont think anyone told you to not say it

[abstract shard]

yeah u got a point tho too

[honest shale]

it cannot be that bad

[dusky coral]

oh it is bad

gah damn it

mato killed me like really close

ONCE MORE

[honest shale]

i rarely use steady body how big is the difference that taking it off feels like hell?

[abstract shard]

is it that important ?

cuz ive never used it

i find it waste of money

[urban grotto]

hitless in ascended should give you radiant win istg

[abstract shard]

lol

[urban grotto]

i did pv on ascended hitless then i tried radiant

FOR 2 HOURS

[honest shale]

did you beat an ascended boss hitless?

ah

[urban grotto]

and i still didn’t beat him on radiant

[honest shale]

rad pv should NOT take that long

[urban grotto]

I KNOW

[honest shale]

also try p4 again

[urban grotto]

later

[honest shale]

if you dis it hitless your teady dor p4

[dusky coral]

very big

[honest shale]

holy i cant spell

[urban grotto]

sbody makes a pretty big difference

[honest shale]

I only use it for pure vessel speedruns 😭

what am i missing out on

[knotty ravine]

Not necessarily it just becomes so much more annoying

On gorb

[dusky coral]

i lost 4 masks to gorb because im so used to using steady body with him

[knotty ravine]

Like ur FIIIINE but it makes gorb longer so it’s fucking miserable

[honest shale]

a core gameplay mechanic becomes annoying?

[honest shale]

skill issue

[knotty ravine]

???? yes???

Nail knockback does in fact make aggroing gorb more annoying

[honest shale]

spells

thats it thats all i have to say

[knotty ravine]

Ur right

It’s still annoying

[dusky coral]

i cant exactly use spells when glowing womb is fucking munching on my soul

[honest shale]

oh right you so have that

[urban grotto]

gorb with heavy blow

[dusky coral]

[honest shale]

just sit around and let grimmchild get the kill then

[dusky coral]

im not spending 5 minutes on gorb bro

[honest shale]

but it would be mad funny

[knotty ravine]

first p5 clear to be slower than shandow's p5ab

if we're killing gorb with gc

[honest shale]

which was?

[gaunt plank]

what is gc

[honest shale]

grimmchild

[knotty ravine]

shit was like 90 minutes

how the fuck do you spend 90 minutes in p5ab

[gaunt plank]

btw i finally got dreamnail after like 1.2h of playtime

[knotty ravine]

its ok tho thats goat

i fw shandow

[honest shale]

thats like double a p5 run

[gaunt plank]

not quadruple?

[urban grotto]

how are you doing p5 in 20 mins

[dusky coral]

a normal p5 run is 42 ish minutes

[gaunt plank]

maybe not 20 but maybe 25

i thought thats normal.?

[urban grotto]

that’s fast

[honest shale]

HOWWW?

[gaunt plank]

now i feel guilty

[gaunt plank]

im speedrunning pantheons, im never careful

[honest shale]

AND YOU HAVE A 20 MINUTE P5

[dusky coral]

I left this was more torturous than radiant markoth

[gaunt plank]

uh.. i guess?

[somber frigate]

I guess is crazy 😭😭

[honest shale]

tf you mean you guess?

[dusky coral]

My best p5 run was 32 minutes

[honest shale]

its a yes or a no

[gaunt plank]

my best is 26-28min i dont remember correctly but something around that

[honest shale]

i call bullshit

[gaunt plank]

should i do one rn?

[honest shale]

tou dont have every achievement

[digital grove]

26-28 minute p5 isnt that unbelievable

[honest shale]

ykw sure

[gaunt plank]

im missing banishment

[digital grove]

20 minutes on the other hand is crazy

[dusky coral]

Why is that relevent

[honest shale]

idfk

[gaunt plank]

lemme just summon grimm

[frozen storm]

It's pretty fast

Also 100%s are satisfying as shit

[honest shale]

except for the part where you have nothing left to do

[frozen storm]

Yeah true

But mods exist for a reason

[gaunt plank]

alright grimm summoned

time for another p

[frozen storm]

Just get the flames

[honest shale]

and you play on console

[gaunt plank]

p5*

[frozen storm]

Skill issue

[honest shale]

why is that a skill issue?

[frozen storm]

Skill issue in uhhh

Asking your parents for a pc

[gaunt plank]

should i stream?

[honest shale]

i have a laptop

[frozen storm]

Instead of a switch

[bronze perch]

I play on switch 🙁

[frozen storm]

Why no HK?

[bronze perch]

ver sad

very*

[honest shale]

I just cant be bothered to buy the game again

[gaunt plank]

my wifi kinda bad though

[frozen storm]

Just pirate it

You already bought it

[gaunt plank]

so do i stream or not?

[bronze perch]

I finished courior rasher and my game crashed and resterted it :/

[frozen storm]

Streaming lags

[honest shale]

im not pirating hollow knight 😭

[gaunt plank]

lag doesnt have anything to do with wifi

[frozen storm]

You already bought it once

[bronze perch]

Why would you do that broke ahh

[frozen storm]

Lagging your game

[gaunt plank]

i have a very good pc

[frozen storm]

Because he already bought the game once

[frozen storm]

So do it

[honest shale]

no

[bronze perch]

ok maby thats a good point

[frozen storm]

I bought Cuphead on Xbox then pirated it on PC to play mods

[gaunt plank]

did it

[honest shale]

im not pirating hollow knight

[frozen storm]

And also because of this bullshit

Let me just find the vid

[gaunt plank]

GUYS COUNT I JUST STARTED THE P5

[honest shale]

fuck it im reporting you to authorities

[earnest apex]

It does, it happens when your ping is high

[frozen storm]

This is what happens when I try to play the ORIGINAL VERSION

[earnest apex]

Do you own an Xbox console or... just the controller?

[frozen storm]

The one I PAID FOR

[honest shale]

peak

[earnest apex]

Where d'ya purchase the game?

Which platform?

[frozen storm]

Yeah but the HDD is dead

[frozen storm]

Xbox, when it was working

[earnest apex]

Xbox One S, right?

[keen thorn]

Streaming takes a lot of computer resources aside from the internet resources
So streaming will cause both internet lag and also framerate lag

[frozen storm]

Yeah

[earnest apex]

I knew it

[frozen storm]

I have it since 2018

[earnest apex]

So old

I miss my Nintendo GameCube though

[frozen storm]

Old and amazing

Just need to swap the hdd

Or maybe try manually formating

I don't have a USB stick

[frozen storm]

He said he has a very good PC

[keen thorn]

Even really good PCs can lag sometimes

[earnest apex]

Yeah, the solution is using an Ethernet cable

Cheap and efficient

[gaunt plank]

just killed oro and mato

[obtuse brook]

She said She's perfect 😮

[earnest apex]

¡Le va perfecto!

[honest shale]

uhh

[earnest apex]

Ficou perfeito!

[honest shale]

what the fuck is that

[obtuse brook]

I'm not the Best artist but it's better than Gen IA

[honest shale]

that looks like a poorly drawn 2 year old

[obtuse brook]

😭🦍

[earnest apex]

I accidentally watched a video about eight people beating a capybara with sticks and metal bars

[obtuse brook]

🔥

[urban grotto]

insane pull

[honest shale]

tf you mean accidentally

[earnest apex]

https://tenor.com/view/farthyun-capybara-gif-21041188

Poor capybara

[obtuse brook]

There's no limits in the new Tomodachi Life

[earnest apex]

Social media

[shy tartan]

1st p5 attempt of the day

[honest shale]

[earnest apex]

Click on it? The video played automatically

[honest shale]

why did you happen upon it?

[earnest apex]

Free will.

[honest shale]

why do you have free will?

[earnest apex]

why not?

[honest shale]

fair enough

[earnest apex]

Grimm Child :3

[gaunt plank]

[honest shale]

and unless im severely misjudging how long the next few bosses will take you wont hit that

or anywhere close to that

[dusky coral]

Watch em speed blitz every remaining boss at mach fuck

[honest shale]

[gaunt plank]

[versed yew]

in general....

[prime dew]

Nice, how long did it take u

[gaunt plank]

yeah good job

[prime dew]

Radiant is not much harder tho lol

[gaunt plank]

kinda real

[versed yew]

not sure, maybe 30 mins split up into a couple tries a day the past few days

[prime dew]

Took me less attempts to radiant than the first time i think radiant took 7 and first time 14

[gaunt plank]

my first nkg elimination ( in story mode) was at 8th try, and radiant at 3rd

[prime dew]

I have a skill issue lol

[honest shale]

fuck it ima do p5 now

[gaunt plank]

lets see if u get better time lol

[prime dew]

In story mode in took 3 attempts for me

[gaunt plank]

[prime dew]

Thats rlly good nice

[honest shale]

no

[gaunt plank]

aww. tell then when start

[honest shale]

i already did

[gaunt plank]

oh alr

wait how to enter crystal peaks i kinda forgor-

[honest shale]

crissroads

[gaunt plank]

oh right-

[prime dew]

I was just doing some bosses for fun and after killing pv during his focus attack one of the focus bubbles hit me after lol

[gaunt plank]

did u die

[prime dew]

Nah lol

[gaunt plank]

good then

[prime dew]

But i thought they'd depsawn after lol

Whenever I play pv in hall od gods I take like 0-2 hits but when I do it in p5 I take like 3-4

[shy tartan]

oro and mato dead

btw do you guys like the unbreakable strenght mark of pride longnail and quick slash charms for p5?

[gaunt plank]

i use qslash mark of pride fragile strength (cuz steel soul) and sprint master

[honest shale]

holy shit nearly died to oblobbles

[indigo grail]

Real

[gaunt plank]

im bored, i dont want to do the banishment

achievement, its so boring

[shy tartan]

i am scared to ask

which achievement is that

[honest shale]

nearly died tryna speedkill shei

[indigo grail]

The evil and mean one

[shy tartan]

i figured

[shy tartan]

doing p5?

[honest shale]

banishing the grimm troupe instead if completing the ritual

[honest shale]

yea

[shy tartan]

oh yeah i remember now

[shy tartan]

same

[honest shale]

i forgot ro start the timer again after finishing sheo

[gaunt plank]

its been 4 min

[honest shale]

im pausing my timer at rests

[prime dew]

I dont use mark of pride or long nail tbh

[shy tartan]

sisters of battle done

[shy tartan]

fair enough

[prime dew]

I use shaman stone and soul twister instead so half nail charms half soul charms tbh

[shy tartan]

i can see how that would work. for my playstyle honestly it wouldnt work but i see how people play it

soul totem dead

sheo dead

[gaunt plank]

fun fact: if u get dreamnail then kill soul master u cannot fight soul tyrant right away

[honest shale]

you have to re-enter the room

[shy tartan]

interesting

[honest shale]

Sly just got fucked

and i believe i have 19 minutes on the timer

[gaunt plank]

25*

[honest shale]

tf

[gaunt plank]

u said u were at 1 min 24 min ago

[shy tartan]

for me fighting sly is like begging for mercy

[honest shale]

oh bcs im pausing mine at rests

[shy tartan]

troupe master grim dead

[gaunt plank]

Nondescript, tell when nkg

[honest shale]

i wasnt pausing my timer for you

its unfair to expect it

[gaunt plank]

so basically i am at the worse position

[honest shale]

no im telling you not to pause it

also i gotta go

[gaunt plank]

i dont even have a timer

[honest shale]

what

how long ago did i start so i can continue later

[gaunt plank]

32 min ago

[honest shale]

ty

[gaunt plank]

do yk when ull be back?

[wraith karma]

holy shit guys i just found hornet

[shy tartan]

nosk done

[high fiber]

congrats

[shy tartan]

sentinel hornet done

[high fiber]

did you beat her

[shy tartan]

what bosses are coming after this bench again?

[wraith karma]

no i just saw her standing in a cliff

[high fiber]

you playing hall of gods ?

[shy tartan]

sadly

[high fiber]

ok then follow her

[wraith karma]

but the jump is impossible tho

[high fiber]

what bosses have you done

[high fiber]

it is possible

find a way to do it

[shy tartan]

oh sorry not hall of gods

p5

[high fiber]

oh shshsh

this will drive you crazy

[shy tartan]

i did my nkg markoth and pv pratice

and i can basicly do zote hitless

[stark marlin]

"I didn't fight no Zote"

[shy tartan]

so i just hope i dont make a bad call mid fight

[stark marlin]

does Zote deal double dmg?

[wraith karma]

the jump is so impossible i followed the other way and i got it right

[shy tartan]

in p5 no

everywhere else yes

[stark marlin]

then guess what
you can just facetank him

[shy tartan]

noooooo because nkg comes right after i think

[ancient briar]

nkg isn't after zote

[stark marlin]

that's not a problem
Facetank build: Markoth edition handles nkg very well

[ancient briar]

it's after failed champoin

[high fiber]

well since it's your first time that's fine

[shy tartan]

oh yeah i forget he exists sometimes

[wraith karma]

okay

[stark marlin]

Use Facetank build: Markoth edition
should handle the entire split without much trouble

[shy tartan]

anyways which bosses are after sentinel hornet

[shy tartan]

what is that build

[unique badge]

Hiiiii hi discers

[shy tartan]

i totaly think its a good idea to listen to advice about a facetank build from a guy named facetank propaganda

[winged flax]

enraged guardian, lost kin, no eyes, traitor lord, white defender, soul tyrant, gpz, markoth, failed champion, nkg, pure vessel, radiance

[shy tartan]

surely nothing bad can happen

[high fiber]

hoi

[shy tartan]

ah yes i remember now

[winged flax]

but I think markoth is before gpz idk

[shy tartan]

yup

[unique badge]

Grrr where are my regulars

[stark marlin]

stalwart+qfocus+grubsong+elegy+shape of unn
usage: on Markoth just go in, trade damage and heal back, using shape of unn so you don't get hit out
on FC use normal strat with shrieks
on nkg fight normally and abuse shape to heal during flame pillars
on anything else abuse the fact that right after taking a hit, there is a guaranteed heal due to iframes

[wraith karma]

feelin like frisk from undertale

[gaunt plank]

p5 is so much easier without gpz

[wraith karma]

just genociding everyone

[shy tartan]

ok

[unique badge]

They’re all in like firecord or smth idk

[stark marlin]

False statement
gpz is a mere victim of Facetank

[grave lintel]

I just best pantheon 4 for the very first time! I don't know why it took me so long cuz I played HK for the first time in like 2019

[shy tartan]

anyways i must continue the p5 run

[shy tartan]

congrats

[grave lintel]

hey I get to do that next lol

[stark marlin]

pantheon 4 is the first Pantheon that has anything challenging in it
the jump from previous Pantheons is like 100x

[shy tartan]

my condolunces

[grave lintel]

yeah I agree. but the pure vessel fight is so so fun that it's worth it. honestly might be my new favourite hk boss but maybe just behind nkg

[grave lintel]

thank you 😭

[shy tartan]

i just killed soul totem (enraged guardian)

[stark marlin]

pv is fun boss
absrad is unfun boss

[winged flax]

not hard

[worthy peak]

incorrect

[shy tartan]

how hard could absrad possibly be

[worthy peak]

absrad is the most fun boss

[grave lintel]

well I'll let you know how I feel about absrad in a week

[stark marlin]

absrng

[shy tartan]

presicely the reason i call him soul totem

[winged flax]

oh

[worthy peak]

theres like the same rng there is in any boss

[stark marlin]

deranged guardian
harder than tlord due to rng but very easy still

[shy tartan]

like there is no way absrad is that harder from radiance

[stark marlin]

there is extra homing orbs rng that spawns in your face and hits for 2 masks + void so practically 3

[shy tartan]

right?

[winged flax]

it's kinda hard

i got 43/44 radiant and didn't get abs rad

[stark marlin]

absrng is harder radiance yeah

[winged flax]

and quit the game

[grave lintel]

is it worth it to get all bosses radiant?

[winged flax]

yes

[worthy peak]

Ok, that is like what, the orbs are telegraphed so far before the attack. unlike zotes exploders and markoths swordsm, And the void, thats just not rng but bad positioning

[worthy peak]

yes

[grave lintel]

what makes it worth it?

[wraith karma]

damn i just rescued a guy and he is so fucking ungrateful like wtf

[winged flax]

zote

[stark marlin]

I mean consider this:
a laser wall goes through
unseen by you, an orb spawns hidden by the wall
you shade cloak through the wall
you get insta hit by the orb as soon as it appears
you get kb, dash and wings are off, so you fall
congrats! 3 damage to the face!

[worthy peak]

the glowing yellow badges and also satisfaction of saying you did it

[shy tartan]

what if im lazy

[worthy peak]

Always shade cloak through a wall early

[stark marlin]

the satisfaction doesn't come with the bundle

[worthy peak]

then you wont get the yellow badges.

[stark marlin]

orbs don't care if I'm early or late, the attack lasts a few seconds anyway
I'm not going to rush towards the wall as soon as I hear it just to get it early and have to rush back

[stark marlin]

I did all bosses radiant spelless

[worthy peak]

then be ready to ddark the wall or be more vigilant about the orb spawn

not allthe orb spawn will be covered

[wraith karma]

how do i use my charms ability

[worthy peak]

timewise i mean

[worthy peak]

can you like elaborate

[stark marlin]

I guess ddark or "git gud" is all there's gonna be

[worthy peak]

congrats :)

[shy tartan]

white defender dead

[wraith karma]

so i have this mod with a charm that heals me

[shy tartan]

guys its time for the true test of p5

[wraith karma]

how do i heal myself

[shy tartan]

hold c

[worthy peak]

the charm being named?

[stark marlin]

you see, I got satisfaction from saying that I did it
but I haven't actually done it
so doing radhog is optional for the "satisfaction reward"

[wraith karma]

soulburst

[shy tartan]

wait are yall playing on keyboard and mouse or on controler

[worthy peak]

no you got congratulations not the same satisfaction

any satisfaction you got was different from doing it satsifaction

[grave lintel]

should I do it before or after p5

[worthy peak]

either is good i think but its harder than P5

[stark marlin]

I got congratulations from you (undeserved) and satisfaction from saying it
I didn't get satisfaction from doing it, that's the major difference

[stark marlin]

ofc it's WAY harder than some p5
p5 difficulty is around 3x the difficulty of absrad
while radabsrad herself is harder than that

[worthy peak]

That is a different satisfaction that certainly in my case feels less good

[honest shale]

on nkg

[stark marlin]

Fair enough
There's barely a point in arguing about satisfaction as it's so subjective it seems

[honest shale]

nvm i forgot failed champ

[stark marlin]

the #2 dance boss?

[stark marlin]

what build?

[honest shale]

cant answer rn

[shy tartan]

i am going to markoth now

[honest shale]

give me a moment

[shy tartan]

panic

[wraith karma]

YO

[shy tartan]

alright lemme lock in rq

[wraith karma]

DID I JUST BEAT HORNET FIRST FUCKING TRY

[warm aurora]

Gl

[shy tartan]

thanks

[shy tartan]

gg

[warm aurora]

1st playthrough?

[wraith karma]

yeah

[warm aurora]

Nice

[stark marlin]

don't panic
just go in-> pogo -> get hit a few times -> go to lower platform -> heal while going back and forth -> repeat until victory

[wraith karma]

holy fuck

[honest shale]

now on nkg

[warm aurora]

If you have full soul you can spam spells

[shy tartan]

not running a soul build

[warm aurora]

In my last attempt my Markoth went insanely well

[grave lintel]

yeah but then p5 will probably be really easy

[shy tartan]

spell*

[grave lintel]

I just have to learn absrad

[stark marlin]

heal > spell
bad tip :(

[warm aurora]

You dont need spell twister to make it work

[warm aurora]

He died in 5 seconds flat

[stark marlin]

facetank > spell beatdown

[shy tartan]

i meant spell

[warm aurora]

Eh

[worthy peak]

heal is indeed greater than spell :)

Problem is its nto allways an option

[shy tartan]

2 SHIELDS

[honest shale]

nkg almost killed me 😭

[stark marlin]

remember the principle of facetank

[shy tartan]

great prince zote time

[stark marlin]

I mean if you build properly for heals
it's always an option after every hit you take
due to iframes
which means on most bosses you take 1 dmg heal 1 dmg
good luck dying in this way

[honest shale]

abs tad time

[stark marlin]

same thing, just facetank

[worthy peak]

no thats still not true cause it costs soul, :(

[shy tartan]

failed champ

[stark marlin]

absrng
use dashes and narts on last phase

[shy tartan]

time

guys

[honest shale]

i will be fiiine

[shy tartan]

one must simply lock in

[stark marlin]

grubsong+elegy+weaversong
charms that give you soul passively, without you swinging your nail

[honest shale]

ive done p5 like 3 times already

[stark marlin]

one must simply spam shrieks and stall staggers

[shy tartan]

alright im about to destroy failed champ rq

[worthy peak]

they wont neccesarily give enough :( like they might but it wouldnt be unsuprising if you ended like 2 soul short more than once

also you might be high up in which case stawart + quickfocus just doesnt work

[honest shale]

RAAAAHHH

[stark marlin]

grubsong+elegy leaves you 9 soul short of a heal
which means 1 nail hit or 3 spider hits
if you take dmg, slash and immediately heal, you still manage before iframes expire, so it solves bosses that sit on top of you

[honest shale]

i died on climb

[shy tartan]

GOING INTO NKG WITH 4 HP

[stark marlin]

solution: on bosses that are not markoth, don't be high up

[worthy peak]

Which is probably good cause if either of these problems wasn't a thing itd be overpowered

[warm aurora]

Grubsong elegy deepfocus stallwart

[honest shale]

im going back to pure vessel speedruns

[worthy peak]

wont work if you want to do stalwart quickfocus

[warm aurora]

Or baldur or unn

[worthy peak]

deepfocus heals take too long

[warm aurora]

But only a little bit too much

For more gain

[worthy peak]

true, is limiting

[worthy peak]

its an infinite percent risk increase

[stark marlin]

soultion to soul: use grubsong+elegy+weaversong, and sneak a nail hit before healing if the boss is in range
soultion to air: don't air (you can, you know, attack the boss with elegy)

[stark marlin]

also, you can do like this: go in aggro, hit a ton, take some hits, then cycle heals (as you will often get doubles) and repeat

[worthy peak]

That works i guess, honestly didnt realise you had time to sneak a nail hit in

[shy tartan]

I KILLED NKG

I ENTERED WITH 4 MASKS

[vestal quiver]

i didn't

[honest shale]

gl on pure vessel

and abs rad

[vestal quiver]

grimm troupe sorta scared me so i didn't do it :]

[shy tartan]

I DONT NEED LUCK I NEED PERFECTION

[stark marlin]

It's very short, takes a bit of practice
btw I taught my younger bro (who's barely played videogames before) to facetank
it took him an hour of timing practice, but he managed p1 with nail binding smoothly

[worthy peak]

Though this still doesnt work to all bosses :( It sounds like it works for more than i thought

[shy tartan]

ok there i will need some

hold up i gotta go calm down

[stark marlin]

It works for everything that deals single damage
except for some that have hazards if you fall into them alot

[gaunt plank]

can i banish the troupe right after getting Brumm's fire or do i need 3

[honest shale]

RAAAAHHH

[warm aurora]

You can banish directly

[honest shale]

got hit by pure vessel stagger

[honest shale]

i died to abs rad

no time for me

[gaunt plank]

predicta- I MEAN WHAT

[shy tartan]

i am back

alright

[worthy peak]

I dont believe it can simply work for marmu, cause he bouncies away, but marmu may not be hard enough it matters

[shy tartan]

this is the farthest i got in a run ever

[honest shale]

i got overconfident and tried face tanking phase 2

died to climb

[gaunt plank]

why would u face tank a 2dmg boss

[worthy peak]

or uumuu actually

[stark marlin]

sure it does, you are invincible so his bounces don't matter

[shy tartan]

ok guys im off to fight pv

[worthy peak]

it stops you getting the hit in

[honest shale]

idk man

[stark marlin]

uumuu is a bit of a problem
you kinda fight him normally

[honest shale]

i was tryin to get a fast time

[stark marlin]

that's true, but the extra hit is not neccessary, it's an extra if you want more soul

[gaunt plank]

whats ur best

[honest shale]

p5 or abs rad?

[warm aurora]

I hope you reach absrad
Thats the big thing

[gaunt plank]

p5

[honest shale]

like 45 minutes

i dont speedrun it

[gaunt plank]

damn

[worthy peak]

it is neccesary though cause youll eventually run out of soul without, and if your not getting the hit in your not dealing damage which means you have to survive infinite time

[shy tartan]

i should. like i praticed pv too much to die on it

[worthy peak]

am i about to see a solution

[warm aurora]

I did lose a run on nkg (and over 10 to earlier bosses) but none to pv

[stark marlin]

spiders give soul and deal damage
their help is almost always enough to survive indefinitely

[shy tartan]

same

its time

[warm aurora]

Gl

[shy tartan]

to lock in

[warm aurora]

I also reached her yesterday

[honest shale]

i lost one to pure vessel and i didnt play the game fir the rest of the week

[warm aurora]

For the second time, but in another save, just wanting to unlock her there

[worthy peak]

they dont track that well though, i dont really trust em

[warm aurora]

I lost one to traitor lord
Locked in and reached her next try

[honest shale]

how did you lose to traitor lord?

[stark marlin]

If it's some marmu that slams into you constantly, he slams into the spiders as well...
anyways, I'm off to sleep
I really hope you give the build a shot someday

[honest shale]

easiest boss in p4

[warm aurora]

No eyes didnt let me heal from lost kin

[honest shale]

regardless traitor lord easy as piss

[gaunt plank]

bro on p4ab i died to him TOO MANY TIMES

[worthy peak]

I play radiant mostly so its kinda useless to me

[warm aurora]

I had 3 hp

[gaunt plank]

even tho when i first fought him, i did him 1st try

[honest shale]

you got hit twice?

[shy tartan]

ABSRAD

[honest shale]

anyways i gotta go

[shy tartan]

ABSRAD

[warm aurora]

I did do hitless obblobles and hitless markoth in the next attempt
If we are going to call random things easy

[shy tartan]

I PAUSED

[warm aurora]

W

[shy tartan]

OH MY

[warm aurora]

Dont worry

You made it

[shy tartan]

alright i either win here or gain the ability to win

this will be fine either way

[honest shale]

traitor lord is so fucking easy what are you on abt

[warm aurora]

Enjoy nerve free absrad
Next time you reach her it will be a lot more stressful

[shy tartan]

yeah

[warm aurora]

Hitless markoth was easy, heading in with full soul

[shy tartan]

im off to my 1st absrad execution

[worthy peak]

Whay radiant boss should i do

[warm aurora]

W

[flint sequoia]

imagine a hk gacha game where you open jars with grubs inside and send the grubs to fight hk enemies

[warm aurora]

Which are there to choose from?

[worthy peak]

any

[warm aurora]

Close enough to the collector

[worthy peak]

but also dont be boring and just choose markoth

[warm aurora]

Hive knight

[shy tartan]

welp

that was quick

honestly not that hard of a boss

just dont get hit on stupid places and thats it

[worthy peak]

ok done should i do another?

[warm aurora]

Thats quick

How is your HoG skill?

Did you do allrad or just starting out

[gaunt plank]

hs, doo... uhh..

[worthy peak]

i was kinda suprised normally i die once to him

[worthy peak]

ive done all rad

[warm aurora]

Ah

[gaunt plank]

then do radiant traitor lord

an easy one

[warm aurora]

Uumuu after that

[shy tartan]

welp i lost

so yall know the time

[worthy peak]

i died once :( second try though

[gaunt plank]

time to fight grimm with no spells except vengeful spirit, no nail upgrades, and no charms, guess guys, how much times will i die

[worthy peak]

7

[worthy peak]

im actually dying an embarrising number of times here :(

[warm aurora]

I remember losing 2 ascended runs while uumuu was in their death animation

[lean wolf]

I was bored so I decided to climb all of white palace without nail or dash. What pointless challenge should I do next

[mystic valve]

that’s… extremely brave and stupid

[lean wolf]

Ik thx

[gaunt plank]

i did it first try

i am so skilled

[lean wolf]

Im also doing the radient grind and I only have 8 more bosses to do including absrad

[trim schooner]

ooo gl

[pliant oxide]

Chat it's crazy in hk general

[trim schooner]

that's why hk disc is better

[pliant oxide]

People are sending maid gifs

And apparently that's allowed

[worthy peak]

[knotty ravine]

[trim schooner]

[frozen storm]

Hello

[worthy peak]

okay PV rad done, I think i have time for one more

[proper thunder]

[royal dome]

W, pv defeated first time (not p4 just practice)

[worthy peak]

ok done

You should get a bigger naail

[proper thunder]

[worthy peak]

also id have to turn of hk and turn it on again

I think ill do absrad next

i always forget i cant just facedance sword rain without a care

Right radabsrad done, I should do pantheon of absrad sometime

[royal dome]

Got it again. Probably not gonna do ascended yet lol

[worthy peak]

congrats! Soon you'll have consitency:D

[royal dome]

Is sharp shadow abuse the common strat bc that’s what I’m doing

[worthy peak]

its a strat ive seen, personally sharp shadow makes it harder for me.

But i wouldnt call it the common strat

just a common one

[gaunt plank]

I GOT EVERY ACHIEVEMENT!!

[worthy peak]

also sharp shadow just isnt powerful enough for it to be called abuse imo just a tool at your disposal

[worthy peak]

Awesome!!! which was your last one

[royal dome]

Well it’s abuse by dodging damage

[worthy peak]

and was it worth it?

[silk dove]

i got em all on playstation, now i do steam

who here thinks the path of pain was fun

[worthy peak]

you can do that with normal shade dash its just slightly more precise without and slightly easier in one or two occasions

[gaunt plank]

banishment surprisingly

[royal dome]

Yeah it’s much harder tho, sharp shadow makes shade cloak evading crap easy tho

[worthy peak]

you can also just uhh pogo most times where it would help for a slightly better outcome that generally people think is hardder

[grave lintel]

tips for radiant markoth?

[silk dove]

hope and pray

[worthy peak]

use nail arts and save all your spells for second phase

[gaunt plank]

grubbersfly elegy

[royal dome]

Patience, strike carefully, also mark of pride

[royal dome]

That too that too

[tropic nest]

dash slash > elegy or mop

[worthy peak]

I can see why it wouldbe that one

[worthy peak]

MoP good for anything :)

[gaunt plank]

bro my game doesnt want to save

[silk dove]

uh oh

[frozen storm]

Nail arts

[gaunt plank]

yall some mofo keeps hacking my acc and sending scams even tho i have authenticator app and logged his ass out

does anyone know how that c word keeps getting in

[cunning steppe]

idk bro😭

[gaunt plank]

should i be proud of myself for getting every achievements within 10 months, beating steel soul at 112%, doing p5 2 times in a row, and having accomplished radiant HoG

[cunning steppe]

but tbh the stupid moth is not as stupid as i thought

[tropic nest]

why is that for someone else to decide

[cunning steppe]

i beat her first try after i took a break from trying to beat her

but i did in fact beat grimm before that after geting a upgraded spell and a nail upgrade

ayo bro

91 percent in 34 hours 49 minutes and 38 seconds

not to bad

im just happy i got dream no more

ima beat the moth again fr fr

[upper halo]

yall what charms shall i use for colosium?

[polar iron]

Unbreakable strength, qslash, mark of pride, and the strong charm of them all… wayward compass

[cunning steppe]

peak

[upper halo]

do i use nmg?

[gaunt plank]

Im trying to know if i wasted 10months of my life or not

[cunning steppe]

i did not beat the moth again

[gaunt plank]

Who is the moth

[royal dome]

Alright, time for a REAL pv attempt, here at the end of p4. Think I’ll get it “first” try? (Second, first one was a blind loss)

[gaunt plank]

U can do this!!

[digital grove]

nail arts will be really helpful in the trials so i say yes

[upper halo]

ok

[cunning steppe]

da moth final boss moth

[gaunt plank]

Radiance?

[cunning steppe]

yes the final boss moth

[gaunt plank]

Stream plz, i wanna see u suffer

[cunning steppe]

uh i already beat the moth

[gaunt plank]

Oh

[cunning steppe]

like 7 minutes ago

[royal dome]

Close-ish, 3 staggers in

[gaunt plank]

Then why do so again

[cunning steppe]

i dont what to

plus i kinda dont need to so like

im not going to

[gaunt plank]

Wdym by that

[cunning steppe]

i dont what to beat the moth again

im trying to get 112 percent rn

so im not going to lol

i have 91 percent rn

[gaunt plank]

U mean”i dont WANT”?

[cunning steppe]

i said i dont what to

[gaunt plank]

That sentence does NOT make any sense at all

[royal dome]

I still don’t understand why no eyes is p4 and not like p2

[cunning steppe]

wdym

like the arena is dif

thats just a dificulty thing i think

[royal dome]

Just stay on the bottom lol

[cunning steppe]

i am missing 6 charms

and i dont know what they are

[gaunt plank]

Show

[cunning steppe]

i know im missing deep focus

where do i find that'

[gaunt plank]

Crystal peaks

[cunning steppe]

where

[gaunt plank]

Near the big jump from the top to the bottom

[royal dome]

One of the two long left corridors

I forget which

[gaunt plank]

On theleft theres 1 miner

Which is mining a wall, break that wall

[royal dome]

Is it just me or does white defender have too many healing opportunities

[cunning steppe]

i got it

idk

never tryed to beat him yet

but i gota eat

[royal dome]

I feel like quick focus is just free cheesing tbh

[gaunt plank]

Uh i think that too

[surreal knoll]

108% is the max completion percentage you can get before only having the Pantheons left right?

[royal dome]

107% if you include the godtuner

[surreal knoll]

So Godtuner by itself adds 1%?

Damn

[royal dome]

Yep

[surreal knoll]

Ogrim on his Dream Fight also adds +1% after the first finish doesn't he?

[royal dome]

Who?

[surreal knoll]

White Defender that is

[royal dome]

Oh, grimm

Wait defender oh

White defender is 1%, subsequent fights are optional

[lusty cove]

What's harder nkg or pv

[royal dome]

Pv

For sure

[meager apex]

both are easy after 50 tries

[royal dome]

Idk about easy, consistent sure

[shadow lily]

U dont even need to move that much in pv

[winged flax]

pv is harder I think

[royal dome]

For sure, didn’t even know it was debatable

[urban grotto]

pv

im gonna go beat pv in p4 now

[royal dome]

Speaking of pv wish me luck im there

[urban grotto]

gl

remember to not hit him during a parry or you die of a painful death

[winged flax]

you can still dash through easiyl

if you make that mistake

[urban grotto]

not if your shade dash isn’t back

which usually should be though

[surreal knoll]

That's not them getting easier

[urban grotto]

i’ve died in radiant at least 25 times to a parry

[royal dome]

I had it but I choked on the 4th stagger

[surreal knoll]

That's you getting better

[knotty ravine]

pv probably

[surreal knoll]

Yeah I'd say PV's harder too

[knotty ravine]

Ultimately there’s just a bit more to consider when fighting pv

positioning skills mainly

that NKG doesn’t have

[urban grotto]

if you’re not well positioned with pv you’re fucked most of the time

[winged flax]

well I jump over him anyway

[royal dome]

Have to pause bc device is almost dead and I’m not in a place where I can currently charge it

[winged flax]

some people dash through him I just go over him

so I will have the shade cloak at al ltimes

[gaunt plank]

When Pure Vessel dashes, pogo off him, when Pure Vessel jumps / teleports above you and does the spike attack, quickly move away, pogo off of him and eventually Ddark, when Pure Vessel shoots daggers, dash through, when Pure Vessel Slashes three times Double jump and dash, When Pure Vessel does Orb Explosion just stay and dont move, neither attack, when Pure Vessel does Void Tendrils attack Double jump, dash above him and pogo / Ddark

That the whole tutorial on how to beat Pure Vessel
