[harsh mantle]

[fiery trench]

the fact that that’s possible
or that it happened enough times to be named

[frozen storm]

Or the fact that it'll happen to you

[fiery trench]

[frozen storm]

I need choristers too

[fleet knoll]

k_a = [H+][A-]/[HA]
Uhh
Idk

[frozen storm]

Ok anyways good luck with the test

[cold basin]

Unfortunately, LaTeX formatting is not natively supported by Discord. It would make communicating mathematical and scientific concepts quite a bit easier on here, I imagine.

[fleet knoll]

yeah, support would be rly nice
But for now we just have insane amount of equation on one line lol

[cold basin]

The only workaround which comes to mind is by using a website that allows you to generate images of LaTeX text, but it is inefficient since you must first screenshot whatever equation is created before sending.

[cold basin]

Yes. And what a ghastly sight it makes for.

Egh...

[frozen storm]

Good night

[cold basin]

Goodnight, Gui.

[fleet knoll]

[vapid oar]

I banished the Grimm troupe so I could get carefree melody and my friend is shaming me for it

[oblique shuttle]

damn that's sad

[prime dew]

Hi

Hru all

[small tendon]

because u missed a great boss

[vapid oar]

I can still do it in God home

So I’m not missing the boss at all

And I still get the better charm

[small tendon]

yeah but ur gonna have to get near the end of pantheon 4

just to attempt it once

[vapid oar]

No?
It showed up for me right after banishing Grimm

[small tendon]

?

what r u talking abt

[vapid oar]

I banished the troupe and went to godhome

And it just popped up

[small tendon]

oh from the statue

the dream version is an option?

[vapid oar]

Yeah

You just have to dream nail the statue

[small tendon]

oh well whatever then

[prime dew]

I just dont like carefree melody cuz its more satisfying doing fights without it

[harsh mantle]

I hate mantis;-;

[oblique shuttle]

mantis lords?

[harsh mantle]

Not even there yet

Mantis village

[oblique shuttle]

[harsh mantle]

[harsh mantle]

Ok

[novel dawn]

slight spoilers maybe for people who haven't fought the lords yet, but if you need help look at this for the one where two throw a blade at once, you can go in the middle of them and not get hit while healing

the lords as in mantis lords

[fallow grotto]

you don’t have to

||do this||

in this chat

[novel dawn]

oh ok

[fallow grotto]

you only have to in help channels

hi

[hollow forge]

beat colo 3 on steel soul

[polar hornet]

Guys, this might be a strange question, but what race or tribe do you think Eternal Emilitia belongs to?

Like there's the Moth tribe, Mantis tribe, Weavers, Mosskin, Sentries. There's gotta be one for her and the distant villagers

[polar hornet]

Hi

[polar hornet]

Cool!

[hollow forge]

she definitely looks like one of the distant villagers

[polar hornet]

Yeah, but what could they be called?

[hollow forge]

i dont really think they do have a name other than distant villagers, we dont get any info if at all abt them when we get to see them inside the beasts den and they dont seem to show up anywhere else. no history, no lore, basically nothing to indicate their presence in hallownest beyond them showing up and vanishing immediately after you sit on the bench and eternal emilitia doing whatever she does in city of tears

the ones other than eternal emilitia dont even have names

[polar hornet]

Sad

So we just call them distant villagers

That's it

[hollow forge]

i mean yeah its kind of a letdown

but depending on how you view it it only makes them more interesting

it raises a lot of questions like when the village appeared, how they managed to get along with the weavers, if they even were in hallownest prior to establishing their village there, are they related to herrah etc

[vestal sky]

the bourgeois tribe

[vestal sky]

why did it not reply to this

[obtuse brook]

Oh boy

[honest shale]

man feastables choccy milk bouta be so ass

[obtuse brook]

This is actually good

[honest shale]

i dont believe you

[obtuse brook]

Believe me

[honest shale]

i think you are a paid promotion for mario kart and feastables

[obtuse brook]

I wish

[honest shale]

uhh anyways qs bad

[sour flax]

lets go

[honest shale]

thats my april fools now i can move on to doing shit with my life

[sour flax]

GAH DAYUM

[honest shale]

oh yeah that exists

its a very lategame area

[foggy sable]

not really

[sour flax]

yeah ik

[honest shale]

well i mean if you’re just going for base ending then deepnest should be one of the last places you explore

[sour flax]

this is my 2nd playthrough because i lost my old save file

[foggy sable]

a lot of deepnest you can do without lantern

like getting tram pass

[honest shale]

all actually

[sour flax]

ive like never taken the mantis lord route to deepnest

[honest shale]

nothings stopping you from doing darknest

[foggy sable]

well only half of deepnest is dark

[sour flax]

i just beat the mantis lords and went along with my day

[foggy sable]

and the not dark part is clearly not lategame because it is not ability locked by lantern

[jaunty raft]

Ueyah was alrdy streaming and didn't say nothing lol

[foggy sable]

(that being said deepnest is the last place I go)

[jaunty raft]

Wrong channel mb

[honest shale]

i actually started doing earlier deepnest recently

i leave qg for last now

[foggy sable]

I always do qg entry into deepnest mostly now

[umbral night]

Was looking for an optimal way to kill this guy, looked online
Found this strat
Able to gain 3 hits of soul which means one spell everytime he drops down, enough for one abyss shriek

[digital grove]

wah

[honest shale]

i only do that when running any%

[foggy sable]

when possible only going to deepnest once is the ideal

[frozen hull]

Chat should I stream PVZ2 in VC

[sour flax]

after beating the mantis lords and getting mantis claw and mop do i need to do anything in mantis village

[honest shale]

sure

ass game but whatever

[frozen hull]

Funny plant kill zombie

[honest shale]

just play pvz1

[hollow forge]

i honestly dont like that deepnest isnt a late game area because the atmosphere really warrants it

[frozen hull]

PVZ1 Mobile is so ass

And it's easy as piss

[hollow forge]

youre throwing one of the coolest and scariest places in the game right next to fungal wastes like come on man

[honest shale]

you’re playing pvz what did u expect

[frozen hull]

I suppose chap

[umbral night]

Only because of the darkness
Every minor enemy dies within 5 hits of old nail iirc
That's the same as in city

Except beast den

[sour flax]

ok time to do city of tears

wait NO

NONONONONONONONOON

I HAVE TO DO SOUL MASTER AGAIN

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[honest shale]

you will be better at the game this time

hes also completely optional

[umbral night]

Sanctum teaches people the hard way

[honest shale]

idk i first tried sanctum

not much learning from me

[sour flax]

but i wont have descending dark...

dont i need dive

to get descending dark

[honest shale]

well fair

but that doesnt make him any less optional

[umbral night]

If you already had good movement then no

[sour flax]

top 3 benches in the game

[umbral night]

How'd you get past the guards

[honest shale]

murder

[gloomy scarab]

Imo this one is overrated as hell. It’s carried by the fanart of the view, the actual view sucks

[cunning knot]

yo

[sour flax]

to me it just feels relaxing

• quirrel

best bench in the game is def the one in queens gardens

the one with the view

with the flying lilypad things

[gloomy scarab]

That’s one, but it’s also not the only bench with a good view or with quirrel

[honest shale]

idk i prefer one with more practicallity

[vestal sky]

best bench is the one with the speaker in queen’s gardens

[honest shale]

like black egg

[gloomy scarab]

Besides the fanart that bench is also cheating by being the first place in CoT to sit

[honest shale]

or anything in white palace

[gloomy scarab]

By this logic you like the godhome benches the most lul

And there’s like 30

[honest shale]

yeah kinda

[honest shale]

no

just the 3

the break ones arent useful in the slightest

[gloomy scarab]

I’d count every pantheon rest bench

[sour flax]

i want to get as many mask shards

[gloomy scarab]

The only reason this can hold up is cause they purge lifeblood

[honest shale]

hot spring

[gloomy scarab]

I am aware you heal in hot springs

[honest shale]

and the hotsprings are closer to the lifeblood and spawn location

[gloomy scarab]

If you’ve found the swap notches in water button then lemme know

[honest shale]

why are u switching charms

tye only place i do is after sheo and nkg

in p5

[gloomy scarab]

I run pantheons with bindings at this point but why wouldn’t you

especially for p3-4

The answer is lifeblood and/or sticking with one build

But secretly I think build consistency only really matters when thinking about nail length

[honest shale]

strength, qs, shaman and spell twister fucks the pantheons

[gloomy scarab]

Okay

[honest shale]

only in p3 do i switch spell twister for nmg and grubsong

and after sheo in p5

[sturdy bloom]

My god that flame in crystal peak is annoying

Not even soul tyrant is that annoying

[gloomy scarab]

Well why would you go and do that, strength qs shaman and stwister fucks the pantheons

[hollow forge]

the humble stalking devout:

[honest shale]

grimm

[gloomy scarab]

Nail art spam and go in there with a full soul bar if it gets bad

[honest shale]

i want to quick kill him and nkg

[gloomy scarab]

Right, and that’s a personal choice that necessitates you swap your build at a bench

[sturdy bloom]

I killed him but wow hes not enjoyable

[honest shale]

exactly

[gloomy scarab]

You realize the only point being made is that mid pantheon benches have potential to be pragmatic

[honest shale]

you’re the one arguing they’re good

[gloomy scarab]

Personal choices are good choices lol

[honest shale]

so why are you playing it off

[gloomy scarab]

Playing what off

[honest shale]

are we deadass

[gloomy scarab]

You like x charms on y bosses. Swap to those charms for those bosses

[gloomy scarab]

I think you’re just misreading tone

[honest shale]

maybe

[gloomy scarab]

Strategy and personal preference are practically the same thing when it comes to notch loadout

Otherwise everyone is an idiot for not running fury or whatever

so yeah no, I think mid pantheon benches are useful

[honest shale]

but i dont

which was the original argument

we arent getting anywhere are we

[gloomy scarab]

They have no use except for their ability to swap charms.
You are not arguing whether or not benches are good, you’re arguing whether or not swapping charms is useful

[umbral night]

Fury, quickslash, strength, shaman smt like that
Can anyone tell me if fury, strength pure nail hit is stronger than shade soul

[gloomy scarab]

Swapping charms to suit a set of bosses, or to target one specific boss, is useful

[honest shale]

which is why we are getting nowhere

[gloomy scarab]

Your first example was white palace bro.

[honest shale]

very much so

[honest shale]

in case i die

[sour flax]

whats the worst stag station

[gloomy scarab]

That’s only useful if you take damage in white palace, why is strategy for a boss different

[honest shale]

i switch charms at hidden station

[honest shale]

hot spring

[umbral night]

I see
That's why fury build is useful for pv quickkills
I saw in yt, was wondering why

[honest shale]

more practical in every way except charm switching

[gloomy scarab]

Healing at a hotspring is not the strategy I’m referring to here

[gloomy scarab]

You literally get both in break rooms

You aren’t choosing between a hotspring and a bench

[honest shale]

but imo it makes pantheon rest benches nearly ibsolete

[gloomy scarab]

We are not talking about the benches though. We’re talking about charm swapping

[sour flax]

cant you skip this with mop

[gloomy scarab]

ie the only reason the benches are there

[honest shale]

we are talking abt the benches tho

[gloomy scarab]

Or is the white palace bench useless if it’s next to a hotspring

[noble ruin]

that got patched a few years ago

cant hit levers through walls

[honest shale]

thats literally the only reason we are having this argument

[sour flax]

aw

[gloomy scarab]

Is it helpful to change charms before a boss to fight that boss

or “can it be”

[sturdy bloom]

Whats yall favorite area

[gloomy scarab]

Deepnest unironically

[honest shale]

it can be

[gloomy scarab]

then pantheon benches can be useful hermanó

[honest shale]

however that is completely up to personal preference as you stated earlier

[noble ruin]

what is this argument even about

[honest shale]

idek anymore

[gloomy scarab]

Benches mid pantheon are bad or not bad

[sturdy bloom]

Deepnest is cool

[noble ruin]

they're good so you can swap charms end of story iirc

[gloomy scarab]

“Personal choice” it’s literally the way you choose your build

[honest shale]

yes

[noble ruin]

doing a 40 minute run with a build youre not happy with or just wanted to test is bad design

[umbral night]

Nail arts might do the trick?

[honest shale]

so for some ppl its very useful

but for others like me it isnt

[gloomy scarab]

People who want to use charms yeah

[noble ruin]

?

you can use charms without changing them wdym

[gloomy scarab]

well yeah

[honest shale]

bro not everyone changes charms mid pantheon

[gloomy scarab]

why not

[honest shale]

id argue most ppl dont

[honest shale]

idfk

[noble ruin]

cause there are meta builds that work for every boss in the game

[gloomy scarab]

I think the swap to shaman pre AR is like a 9:10 occurrence

[noble ruin]

so theres no reason to switch or cant be bothered to switch

[noble ruin]

um no

[vernal knot]

What's AR

[noble ruin]

i wouldnt even say 90% of people use shaman

[gloomy scarab]

The second most common is probably the nailmasters or sly+hornet 2

[honest shale]

why would u not have shaman on before

[umbral night]

Yes, but it is optimal to change charms for a pantheon speedrun I believe. Is it?

[noble ruin]

quickslash shaman and strength can stay on the whole time

[gloomy scarab]

Cause 90% of people don’t run shaman lol

[honest shale]

but you said ppl change for absrad

[noble ruin]

as far as i remember no you dont change charms

[sturdy bloom]

I used shaman like 1 time

[noble ruin]

ill have to watch the wr tho

[umbral night]

Ok I see

[gloomy scarab]

If they don’t have shaman and they’re sensible I’d say so yeah

[umbral night]

Ty

[gloomy scarab]

if there’s one boss in the whole pantheon to use shaman on it’s probably AR

[tulip narwhal]

Im mr flaurg

[gloomy scarab]

I think most people figure that out regardless of if they’re confident enough at casting

[gloomy scarab]

April 1st pfp or drip I can’t tell

[vernal prairie]

I missed this butt in my first playthrough.now I am curious what the hell is this.does this guy got some face?or is it just butt?

[umbral night]

WR runs a fury build iirc

[vernal knot]

Yes It's higher

[noble ruin]

i dont think its because its unoptimal but rather because it takes away all your lifeblood that youve stored up making it rly hard to use fury while being aggressive

[honest shale]

id they are confident at casting then chances are that they are using shaman

[vernal knot]

His name is Bardoon

[gloomy scarab]

It’s the other end of a NPC you can talk to

[gloomy scarab]

This exactly yeah

[umbral night]

Makes sense

[tulip narwhal]

Its drip ive been rocking this for ages

[tropic skiff]

Bardoon - General - First Encounter

Ohrm... Tiny thing. You climb high. Seek then knowledge of these lands?
This ashen place is grave of Wyrm. Once told, it came to die. But what is death for that ancient being? More transformation methinks.
This failed kingdom is product of the being spawned from that event.

@megathekindly used /npcs misc name: Bardoon category: General dialogue: First Encounter

[vernal prairie]

So he DOES have a face.

[gray rivet]

meow

[noble ruin]

but afaik most people doing hitless p5 dont change charms mid run either

and in that theres no reason not to

[sturdy bloom]

Grimm spawn animation so tuff

[gloomy scarab]

mhm. Nearby too, he’s a fun one

[vernal prairie]

I see...do I need monarch wings to reach it?

[noble ruin]

meow

[vernal knot]

I dunno'

[noble ruin]

yeah

[gloomy scarab]

Wait till NKG’s

[vernal prairie]

I see

[vernal prairie]

Got it thanks...also cute cat.

[gloomy scarab]

Easily the best HK area imo

[sturdy bloom]

Sounds like some type of AR

[honest shale]

its so good that he gets a full screen name

[gloomy scarab]

Ar?

[noble ruin]

i dont like nkg's as much cause it has less personality

[gloomy scarab]

Oh

[sturdy bloom]

Assault rifle

[noble ruin]

he doesnt feel like a character like grimm does he just feels like a random guy like most other bosses do

[gloomy scarab]

Yeah but electric guitar so

[noble ruin]

i like tmg's theme more too

[sturdy bloom]

Is willoh one of the Grimm troupe? She looks pretty similar to me

[honest shale]

there is electric guitar in tmg

[noble ruin]

probably used to be or something

[sour flax]

wow 1st tried

[noble ruin]

maybe a different troupe and got lost or left behind

[gloomy scarab]

Same species as those things but probably not affiliated imo

[sturdy bloom]

Who is willoh anyway

[noble ruin]

well she has a ruined red tent set up next to her so i think she is affiliated

[sturdy bloom]

I thought she was a merchant in the beginning

[honest shale]

some fuck who eats bubbles

[gloomy scarab]

Oh that’s cool

[sour flax]

got dive

[gloomy scarab]

I assumed that was someone else’s

[sturdy bloom]

She cool tho

[noble ruin]

npc in queens station who doesnt do anything gameplay wise

[sour flax]

cannibal that looks like shes from the grimm troupe

[sturdy bloom]

What a goat

[gloomy scarab]

Carnivore not cannibal, important difference

[honest shale]

i thought she would become a boss at some point

[gloomy scarab]

Unless I’m missing a really suspicious skull somewhere

[sturdy bloom]

The Grimm troupe deer things are pretty cute

[noble ruin]

@tulip narwhal have you talked to rose in the last like year

[honest shale]

oh yeah brumm dies

[sturdy bloom]

I thought we would take her up to dirtmouth or sum

[noble ruin]

i just saw her on the moderator list for hk speedruns and forgot she existed

[tulip narwhal]

Yeah I have

[honest shale]

he just drops dead in front of u

[gloomy scarab]

Yeah he gets stabbed by Batman

[honest shale]

[sweet blaze]

[tulip narwhal]

Hi fluffyyyy

[sweet blaze]

[umbral night]

So
From among you two
Who is fluffy

[sweet blaze]

[honest shale]

Bros asking the forbidden question

[carmine lava]

[vernal knot]

Oh right april fools

[gloomy scarab]

The HK speedrunning server is the first to get me

[zealous skiff]

I socialised today

[foggy sable]

even worse in australia because most of it is posted on the second

[honest shale]

its already april fools fir a lot of us

yeah

[carmine lava]

what did i say that implied that it wasn't april fools for me

[vernal knot]

Happy april fools

[honest shale]

what did I say that implied it wasnt april fools for you

[sturdy bloom]

Do the Playstation hk players just suck complete ass? Why are all the trophies, even the easy ones, very rare or ultra rare

My ps players gotta lock tf in this sad

[foggy sable]

@wary hound anybad

[zealous skiff]

@wary hound anybad

[compact pivot]

what boss should I do radiant?

[wary hound]

shuddup

[zealous skiff]

We need to save anymore people from acquiring the badge of ultimate shame aka being an anyrad victor

[compact pivot]

what boss radiant/ascended next?

[honest shale]

bro got summoned 😭

[zealous skiff]

Wosk

[wary hound]

[honest shale]

[wind garnet]

Gr in vc

[compact pivot]

what boss should i do radiant?

[honest shale]

this is #hk-discussion

[honest shale]

oh uhh abs rad

[foggy sable]

occasionally, it is less distracting than other things while I'm making law notes

[compact pivot]

nonono

no absrad yet

[honest shale]

ok then grey price zote

[compact pivot]

dont got him on this file

[honest shale]

thk

[foggy sable]

@wary hound I usually am not looking at my character

[wary hound]

WAH

[foggy sable]

unless the boss is one with a projectile spam

[honest shale]

i mean its not that hard

i do it too

but that may be muscle memory from smash ultimate

[foggy sable]

naming p5 order bosses is a fun party trick

[digital grove]

@quartz cave WHAT did you DO

[honest shale]

the word fun is used very loosely

[foggy sable]

I noticed that earlier

[foggy sable]

I need this okay

[honest shale]

unironically sad

[compact pivot]

i did hornet 2 radiant just now! :D who now

[hollow forge]

beat nkg with quick focus, glad that charm finally has a use

[empty lynx]

ascend

[honest shale]

yeah nkg is kinda a waste of shaman stone

[hollow forge]

i used soul eater w shaman and qf

[compact pivot]

qf is good

[honest shale]

😶

[hollow forge]

i didnt expect to like soul eater so much either

[digital grove]

@empty lynx @foggy sable

[empty lynx]

@digital grove

[digital grove]

hyd on this 2:36 am est

[empty lynx]

no mini tests today

[digital grove]

WWWW

[foggy sable]

well no one wants to chat about economics most of the time so I'm lacking things

[honest shale]

fair

honestly im not any better

[empty lynx]

It was maths and history so iam lucky

[digital grove]

histofree

[empty lynx]

Ok but i have a genuine skill issue when studying

I don't know how to study

[honest shale]

ppl actually study?

[digital grove]

yeah

[empty lynx]

Well no we screenshot the sheet paper and cheat off gemini even though it's damn near giving answers for a completely different subject

[digital grove]

i love learning nothing!

[honest shale]

that is certainly a thing you can do

have you considered learning the material?

[empty lynx]

Except the english teacher is the only one who's actually strict so whenever it's his class for the day it's a 50/50 between whether i pass or if iam so fuckef

[sour flax]

i dont understand how mawlek works

why does it throw out attacks that arent even dodgeable wtf

[empty lynx]

Main exams are worth 30% of our grade
Attendance and homework is 70%

[honest shale]

dash

[foggy sable]

they are dodgable

[digital grove]

they are

[empty lynx]

I have a feeling i know which attack you mean

[honest shale]

mawlek is so dodgeable

[wild sierra]

:0

[foggy sable]

ughhh I wish I had taken good notes earlier now I have about 300 pages to make notes for

this sucks

[sour flax]

the spit one

[empty lynx]

Okay but when are you clearing the fluke room

[sour flax]

does it do contact dmg

[empty lynx]

Yea you just jump and dash over mawlek

[wild sierra]

What do you mean

Which one

[empty lynx]

Nvm i forgot

[honest shale]

pogo over the mawlek when that happens

[empty lynx]

all of it

[foggy sable]

I find the best way to kill mawlek is to get shade cloak

[digital grove]

the spit one you just have to ddark or get to the other side of mawlek depending on positioning

[sour flax]

ohhh

[wild sierra]

…

sus

[empty lynx]

To use it for 2 attacks considering mawlek dies 10 hits at that point

[wild sierra]

Sus

[honest shale]

i mean that is a very efficient kill

[sour flax]

why cant the room right before mawlek be the aren

[digital grove]

whys everyone in vc

[empty lynx]

It's too wide

[digital grove]

holy nvm promised eigong stream happening i am HOPPING

[honest shale]

Oh

[empty lynx]

🐌 be upon me

[digital grove]

no you can have a horse though

very fond of the collector noises in the background of this

[foggy sable]

I'm not very consistent at this collector thing

[digital grove]

discord moment

[honest shale]

is anyone?

[digital grove]

someday i will learn how to prong

[sour flax]

nooo

i got him to 2nd phase but messed uppp

[digital grove]

but first prime

[sour flax]

i used vengeful on accident

[foggy sable]

the good collector players

[honest shale]

i mean fair

[strong roost]

you can do it

[digital grove]

It's just windblade cancelling in specific that i fear

[honest shale]

HOLY SHIT DDARK ON ABS RAD IS OP

[strong roost]

windblade cancelling?

i think only ||promised eigong prime|| has that

[digital grove]

does she

[strong roost]

oh wait, i get what you mean, feint

you can ||dash to cancel your uc without being stunned||

[digital grove]

oh yeah its tali and windblade that cancel

[foggy sable]

indeed

[digital grove]

thats good to know then

[strong roost]

i'm rusty as hell nowadays

[honest shale]

also apparently facedancing is easier than i thought

[polar summit]

does anyone else agree that uumuu has one of the worst godhome variants

[digital grove]

better than i ever was lmfaooo

i should run more eigong stuff regardless

[sour flax]

3rd attempt

now i need to find isma's grove

[strong roost]

🔥

[sour flax]

i explored like none of waterways

i just went straight for ogrim

[honest shale]

its legit just down and right

[sour flax]

oh

radish

[honest shale]

yes

[foggy sable]

absrad feels easier today than yesterday

[sour flax]

they kinda look like

[foggy sable]

maybe the sleep helps

[sour flax]

oh wait do i need crystal heart

to get ismas

god damn it

let me just die rq

[sturdy bloom]

Time helps so ungodly much for bosses

In some cases a 2 minute water break can be enough

[foggy sable]

it is more that being not tired is what helped

[sturdy bloom]

I was bullied by soul tyrant for an hour took a break to get a drink and then beat him nearly damagless it made me so mad

[honest shale]

bro wtf

[sturdy bloom]

Especially rocket league

[foggy sable]

although I'm still playing bad so who knows

[hollow tulip]

Daily reminder to breath

[honest shale]

do not under any circumstances let sunfall see that

[honest shale]

RAAAAHHH

NOW IM BREATHING MANUALLY

[hollow tulip]

I got you dw

🫡

My daily duty

[sturdy bloom]

Fair enough idk what that means tho

[honest shale]

im not gonna elaborate

she can share if she wants too

[sturdy bloom]

Ight ill avoid saying that then

[honest shale]

dw it was more so meant as a joke

[hollow tulip]

So

https://tenor.com/view/hornet-git-gud-hollow-knight-gif-487380231553167495

[honest shale]

i will probably get on the big vc soon

[digital grove]

@foggy sable i have only heard absrad from your stream for the last 15 minutes are you doing pantheon of ab absrad

[sturdy bloom]

I wish the nail changed look as u upgrade it

[honest shale]

wait till i tell u it does

just check your inventory

[sturdy bloom]

I mean in game tho

[gaunt plank]

I think he means in-game

[sturdy bloom]

Yur

[gaunt plank]

Yeah

[sour flax]

i hate this thing

[sturdy bloom]

Same

[foggy sable]

I'm trying to get 5 rab absrads in a row

[sturdy bloom]

Same fr

[honest shale]

is the inventory not in the game?

[foggy sable]

but am hopelessly bad at it

[tranquil elbow]

guys can someone help i installed lumafly an when i open the game with de bug mode the game wont open

[digital grove]

"bad"

[gaunt plank]

Like when u swing it

[digital grove]

smh

[honest shale]

cant wait to see that uploaded at 2 am

[foggy sable]

compared to this challenge yes

[honest shale]

ah

also dst almost over

[foggy sable]

not today anyway

[honest shale]

ends the 5th

[sour flax]

oops...

[foggy sable]

I have uni things to do

[sour flax]

ig i can get dreamnail now

[hollow tulip]

I haven’t tried this before here, but you guys wanna try Hollow knight Triva

[strong roost]

[sour flax]

wait is crystal heart locked behind crystal guardian

i forgot

[digital grove]

did you fumble

[foggy sable]

I've never seen that strat fail

that was weird

anyway I have things I need to do to bye

[digital grove]

byegrey

[strong roost]

i suck

[zealous skiff]

Its literally tilt, your “practical consistency” is like 5x what you have rn

[digital grove]

wtf liess

[strong roost]

wait you're also in nss

[foggy sable]

doubting

[strong roost]

[digital grove]

yeah

[foggy sable]

anyway collector is getting better as is gpz

which is very nice

[digital grove]

insert eigong hug here

[digital grove]

oh my god prong variant

elite

[zealous skiff]

Absrad is so tiltable because its like the longest bossfight excluding wk and maybe sob but you get to multihit ddive on sob so like basically longest fight

[wild herald]

Does anyone have online class?

[strong roost]

[zealous skiff]

Nice

[foggy sable]

maybe I'll just run 04r^2 absrad

that will be more fun perhaps

[zealous skiff]

Maybe just set your goal as getting as may 2 in a rows and hope 5xs come naturally

[foggy sable]

less daunting than 5 rab fights

the thing is absrad is the last of the main 6 fights I don't have 5x

[zealous skiff]

Ive only done absrad streaks once and its literally 90% stuck on <5 and 10% fucking 15+

[zealous skiff]

Fair enough its difficult

[zealous skiff]

Ik it isnt ab but im sure the experience probably carries over a bit

[foggy sable]

funny thing my longest absrad win streak for radiant is 5x anyway

[strong roost]

jadeless bowless hitless eigong 10 times in a row

[foggy sable]

because radiant win streaks I dislike aside from practice

[strong roost]

[sturdy bloom]

What is radiant

[digital grove]

lvl 0 true eigong tali only

[foggy sable]

a difficulty that is damage less and usually has extra hp

[formal ridge]

no hit

[honest shale]

and occasionally removes flooring

[sturdy bloom]

Fuck no

[formal ridge]

yep

[sturdy bloom]

I die more to environment than anything else I couldnt do that

[foggy sable]

true

[foggy sable]

it is only a mode for boss fights

in an endgame area

[sturdy bloom]

Ohh

Okay bet

[strong roost]

1

[sour flax]

wow

why does xero run so much

killed xero

[strong roost]

2

🙁

[foggy sable]

only 32 pages of note taking left fortunately

[red jungle]

Nothing for April fools?

[red jungle]

Hitless but the boss has extra hp

[foggy sable]

not always extra hp

[sturdy bloom]

Sounds painful asf

[foggy sable]

there are 4 I think which don't

[red jungle]

Wdym

I’m pretty sure all of them do

[sinful inlet]

@strong roost I like your name

[foggy sable]

absrad, white defender, gpz, and one other don't get extra hp

[red jungle]

Most of them aren’t too bad

It’s just some

Ehem

Markoth

[strong roost]

i like yours

[sturdy bloom]

Yo that white knight dude is kinda tuff

[plain nova]

ello

i have 99% completion 🥹

[honest shale]

hi

[plain nova]

omg its grimmchild my beloved

if i beat nkg do i get red eye grimmchild

[honest shale]

yes

[plain nova]

is it possible to banish the troupe if i accidentelly entered and left the room where brumm and nightmare lantern is

[zinc iris]

Mo

No

[plain nova]

AW

[dusky coral]

Chat is this peak

[plain nova]

ok gtg bai

[sturdy bloom]

Yes

I think

I was barely awake for that I think

[remote elbow]

Guys do any of yall have tips for the trial of the conqueror ? Also this is my charm setup

[foggy sable]

So mean to the new people

[gloomy scarab]

Most of the airborne enemies can be one shot with a nail art. Use that to spawn camp their drop-in cages.

[honest shale]

but its funny

[gloomy scarab]

If you leave a very slow enemy alive you can farm them for soul by dreamnailing them

[sturdy bloom]

Wow I must've been extremely late to that place

[remote elbow]

I just pogo them mostly works

[gloomy scarab]

This also works on garpedes

[foggy sable]

It is a bit yes

[sturdy bloom]

Whattt

[remote elbow]

I always die

When the primal aspids spawn

[gloomy scarab]

Dreamnail gives you soul if it hits an enemy

[sturdy bloom]

I never knew that

[gloomy scarab]

It’s easier to land and gives you double the soul if you use dwielder

[sturdy bloom]

Probably my 2nd least favorite enemy

[remote elbow]

I hate them but ik how to dodge them

[gloomy scarab]

So 3 dnails on a garpede rising/falling from/into the floor is a full soul refil

[sturdy bloom]

Might have to do that fr

[gloomy scarab]

It’s most useful for platforming challenges. Dreamnailing a wingsmould, for example

[sturdy bloom]

Wingsmould? What are those
I forget what alot of em are called vs how they look

[gloomy scarab]

Or literally any slow enemy. Some version of a Tiktik is in every area

some enemies respawn between rooms and can be farmed without dnail

[sturdy bloom]

Is 94% in 32h good?

[gloomy scarab]

that’s extremely fast if you didn’t use a wiki/outside help

100% in 80 hours is ~average I’d say

[sturdy bloom]

I did for the last few grubs and some hidden spots but thats it
I hate spoilers so I never watched any videos that would spoil me

[gloomy scarab]

Excellent work then

[sturdy bloom]

I quit I think before the 2nd boss last time I played I am quite proud of myself this time around

[gloomy scarab]

Note the game caps out at 112% though

[sturdy bloom]

Im going for that

And the platinum trophy

[gloomy scarab]

Enjoy.

[remote elbow]

This place is useless

[sturdy bloom]

I have maybe less than a month time so if I have to do the hardest stuff for the 112% I might be cooked

[sturdy bloom]

If u want help go to the hk help channel

[gloomy scarab]

the final pantheon is not difficult - the last 5 or so bosses of the pantheon are. So your plat trophy would rely on you practicing those specific bosses

[sturdy bloom]

Unless ur talking about smth else

[sturdy bloom]

Hmmm I can do that

[gloomy scarab]

Remember that you’re fighting mostly early game bosses with maxxed stats + a shade dash

You can carry soul from each fight into the next

So easy fights make the fights after them easier

[sturdy bloom]

Bet

[gloomy scarab]

the endgame charms are busted. Fragile charms don’t break in godhome

It’s a big powerup just walking into godhome. So no worries, just figure out the new bosses and some of the arenas for some of the dream warriors

[sturdy bloom]

U get a power up walking into it?

[gloomy scarab]

No

[sturdy bloom]

I think i saw there was like 3-4 bosses im missing in total

Oh u mean they get a big powerup there?

[gloomy scarab]

Some of those are inside godhome

I mean that the way you fight bosses in godhome gives you a big advantage

Fragile charms+soul from previous fights

[empty lynx]

what's the topic

[sour flax]

i dont like crystal peaks

[sturdy bloom]

What is the dlc order? I feel i messed up my first base game run because I did everything in a very weird order

[gloomy scarab]

“Don’t worry about godhome, you’ll do great, seeing as you beat the base game so fast”

[sour flax]

the music and the conveyor belts carry that area

and the crystal heart

[dusky coral]

I love being passively mean to the new people

[empty lynx]

agreed

[sturdy bloom]

Crystal peak is fire because myla

[gloomy scarab]

Theres 4 “dlc” updates but two of them add very little content - to the main game experience - and are mostly visual spruce ups

The other two are Grimm troupe and godmaster

[dusky coral]

STOP CALLING THEM DLCS AJAJSJFKSFJTITOGKSJAHDHEIDIGKWOC

[gloomy scarab]

Grimm troupe is essentially a sidequest. Godhome is a postgame challenge

[gloomy scarab]

Boo hoo

[dusky coral]

they're expansion packs 🥹🥹

[empty lynx]

Coming back later unless you have shade soul in which case replace soul catcher and longnail for steadybody shamman stone

[dusky coral]

legit had a big confusion in #hk-help due to it 🥹

[rich stone]

Lifeblood did change a decent amount of stuff in the game like Traiter Lord and other changes

[sturdy bloom]

But they were downloadabke content before
Atleast I think
I didnt play back then so idrk

[gloomy scarab]

TLDR order doesn’t matter so long as you do godhome last

[gloomy scarab]

They were always free and automatic

[dusky coral]

no, they're updates

[sturdy bloom]

Bet

[gloomy scarab]

They’re just content updates

[sturdy bloom]

Ohh thats fire

Why dont more games do this? Without 60$ paywall

[gloomy scarab]

Because HK was a kickstarter game with backer goals

[empty lynx]

I agree but :cryla; about it

[sturdy bloom]

Goated game company

[gloomy scarab]

They aimed to meet some of those goals post release

So essentially HK was retroactively put into early access.

the first paid dlc they wanted to do eventually became what is today Hollow Knight : Silksong.

[sturdy bloom]

Thank God for the people who worked on this game

My only complaint is I would like to customize my lil guy a tiny bit but it dont really matter to me

[gloomy scarab]

Content wise HK is a crazy good deal for 7.5-15USD, though at 32 hours I guess you might not have noticed lol

[sturdy bloom]

Nah id pay 50 for this game

[gloomy scarab]

You can mod the game with any of the community skins. Lots of those and lots are good

[sturdy bloom]

Better than most AAA imo

[sturdy bloom]

Im unfortunately on console 💔

[gloomy scarab]

Tragic

Anyways all of this godhome stuff is just practice for silksong

[sturdy bloom]

Sad life of a console kid
less enjoyment in all games with mod options

[gloomy scarab]

The majority of mods people use are just QoL in my experience

[sturdy bloom]

Id like that too
I want my nail to be black ⚫️
And like spiral horns would go so hard

[gloomy scarab]

Bethesda games are just coded so bad they make mod developers look like game devs (because they are by that point)

[sturdy bloom]

Modders are impressive

[gloomy scarab]

You’re missing out on pale court though

[dusky coral]

boundless infinity and pale court

[gloomy scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-pale-court-gif-4020262973405341594

[dusky coral]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ3GyjZ9nJo

[wind garnet]

[gloomy scarab]

The idea of an arena with no edges pisses me off in spite of the stylistic appeal

[sturdy bloom]

"You're missing out on complete and total mental insanity" a Melania in hk i do not think i could even attempt

[gloomy scarab]

Has someone told you to spam Ddark yet

[sturdy bloom]

Whats that

[gloomy scarab]

Your down spell

Descending dark

Or dive maybe

[sturdy bloom]

I have desolate dive do I upgrade it?

[dusky coral]

a limited arena wouldnt really work in this boss

[gloomy scarab]

You do yes

[dusky coral]

crystallised mound in crystal peaks

[gloomy scarab]

ouch

[sturdy bloom]

Oh wait I have descending dark I thought it was called desolate dive after the upgrade

I actually never used it in any combat

[gloomy scarab]

I am then insulting the boss and not the arena 💔

It has a windup where you’re vulnerable but you have tangible invincibility afterwards

Essentially it’s a second shade dash and panic button

[sturdy bloom]

Or abyss shriek
But the shriek upgrade is crazy better aoe

[gloomy scarab]

shriek is high damage only if it lands all 4 of its hits

[dusky coral]

no

[gloomy scarab]

shriek is more or less a situational single target weapon

[dusky coral]

the boss is goated

[sturdy bloom]

Id probably use it for flying mobs

I shoukd probably use it in the fools trial I've taken a break from it and started farming other things

[gloomy scarab]

80-120 damage depending on if you have shaman on

It’s your second highest damage move

Exceptions are a max duration cyclone slash and multihitting with shade soul

[sturdy bloom]

How do u have so many lives in the video u sent? Or is that a mod

[wind garnet]

its a showcase by the mod creator

[sturdy bloom]

I meant the gif mb

It won't let me watch the other video below it idk why

[gloomy scarab]

I don’t fuck with it

[wind garnet]

uhh unbreakable heart

its a charm

[dusky coral]

you'll have to clikc on the link

[sturdy bloom]

Is cyclone slash actually good? I must be using it wrong

[gloomy scarab]

Don’t get me wrong

[sturdy bloom]

Ahhhh

[gloomy scarab]

Those have higher damage but are harder to use and more situational

multihitting more than 2-3 times with shadesoul often isn’t even possible

you should still go for those though

Cyclone and most nail arts suck because spells exist, so open shut there

[sturdy bloom]

How do u multi hit? Just use the ability a couple times?

[gloomy scarab]

Exception is bindings

[gloomy scarab]

Shoot once, the spell can hit the same enemy multiple times

[foggy sable]

dash slash is good even no bindings

[gloomy scarab]

If they move backward (away from you and with the spell)

[sturdy bloom]

It seems to happen so rarely for me with shade soul

[gloomy scarab]

If they’re a very large target

[foggy sable]

and great slash has its place

[gloomy scarab]

Dash slash is okay, GSlash is whatever

[dusky coral]

I once got a 3 hit with shade soul on hornet

[copper spruce]

Wheres sharp shadow

[dusky coral]

it was so peak

[dusky coral]

bottom of the trashcan

[sturdy bloom]

Should I bind things?

[gloomy scarab]

Under the dumpster

[copper spruce]

No

[gloomy scarab]

Bindings are a challenge with (almost) no reward

[wind garnet]

grey did i ever tell you about the boundless infinity bug

[foggy sable]

no

[copper spruce]

Is it finite

[dusky coral]

the what
