[noble abyss]

The only notable thing about fungal wastes is the mantis lords, and the waterways aren’t thad bad imo

[manic folio]

rq once you put the flower in the grave can you not get a flower again or

[raven rock]

true, but they definitely aren't better than ancient basin

also I just have inherent bias towards fungal wastes

for obvious reasons

[noble abyss]

Ancient basin is a nothing burger if you count abyss and palace as separate areas, lost kin is a great fight but thats about it

[raven rock]

I count the abyss as part of ancient basin, and idk I like how the infection is everywhere

[noble abyss]

Fair point, i count the abyss as a separate area because of its fancy title, the mawlurks on the way to bv pmo

[raven rock]

fair, but by that logic mantis village is a seperate area

[noble abyss]

Mantis village doesnt have the swirls(?) around its name

[manic folio]

i am mainly asking cus i wanna give a flower to the dude you meet in dirtmouth

[raven rock]

I swear I remember it having the big center text

[noble abyss]

Never had

[raven rock]

I'm prolly misremembering it

[noble abyss]

Maybe

[cerulean perch]

I’d raise Kingdom’s Edge waaaay up to the top of A tier, and drop Fog Canyob to C

[raven rock]

I'd say kingdoms edge is more high b tier

[noble abyss]

The only exception i’d make is the Colosseum

[raven rock]

also fog canyon is just awesome looking

[cerulean perch]

Entering Kingdom’s Edge through the tram is one of the best area entrances in the game

[raven rock]

I found royal waterways through the tram entrance lol

[cerulean perch]

That place doesn’t have a tram, the tram is right below in ancient basin

[noble abyss]

I had to search up how to enter kingdoms edge

[cerulean perch]

And you only get 2 rooms of the waterways from there

[raven rock]

I meant the tram entrance to kingdoms edge

if you go there you can go into royal waterways

[cerulean perch]

I’d say the 2nd of those 2 rooms should’ve been part of Ancient Basin

[cerulean perch]

You gotta fight Ogrim to get to isma tho, I think

[torn oasis]

my area tier list

[raven rock]

yeah but you can still enter through kingdoms edge

[cerulean perch]

Which is good

[noble abyss]

Finally the hive getting respect

[raven rock]

fog canyon disrespect will not be tolerated

[torn oasis]

exploding jellyfish will be disrespected

[cerulean perch]

Where’s the S in Royal Waterways?

[raven rock]

:(

[noble abyss]

Ty of Tea

[cerulean perch]

Disrespecting jellyfish will be exploded

[torn oasis]

amazing concept for hive just slightly poor execution

[raven rock]

it's just a single waterway now

[manic folio]

that was not that bad wow

[raven rock]

brb ima make an area tier list

[manic folio]

my first try too

[cerulean perch]

https://tenor.com/view/hahaha-one-snapcube-sonic-the-hedgehog-gif-27436474

[torn oasis]

they made me die in my 70 HOURS STEEL SOUL RUN fuck fog canyon

[noble abyss]

I wish there was more ngl, hiveblood is a bunch of missed potential, i never found the enemies to be annoying

[torn oasis]

are we deadass

[torn oasis]

so true except drill guy

[cerulean perch]

Not S tier, I mean the name

[torn oasis]

oh i have no idea

[noble abyss]

Drill guy cool, i hate the hive husk because why is bro there

[cerulean perch]

Bro thought he was part of the team

hOOH

[torn oasis]

nah hive husk is cool it's the bees home

[noble abyss]

I thought THE HIVE was the bees home, as in the area?

[torn oasis]

fog canyon has absolutely nothing cool

[raven rock]

ok done

[cerulean perch]

Why are there beehives in beehives

[torn oasis]

i meant the lil guys THE HIVE is the home of the home of the bees

[noble abyss]

beehive fractal

[manic folio]

aw man shes gone i cant give the flower to the 3 people

[torn oasis]

this is just wrong

[manic folio]

hope that wasnt a achievement

[raven rock]

explain how

[noble abyss]

I think you can take the flowers from the grave but that might just be something i saw online

[torn oasis]

just pick it from the grave

[manic folio]

oh ok

[raven rock]

you can pick flowers from the grave

[noble abyss]

Resting Grounds too high

[raven rock]

they grow infinitely

[manic folio]

i didnt know that i thought it was there to look cool

[torn oasis]

"fog canyon"

[raven rock]

fog canyon awesome fuck you

[noble abyss]

more like pog canyon

[torn oasis]

fuck you fog canyon sucks absolute dogshit filthy waste of an area

[noble abyss]

I like how we all agree City Of Tears is an s tier area

[raven rock]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-gif-27244621

[raven rock]

best area

[torn oasis]

obviously

[noble abyss]

They just need to make the uumuu fight a thrilling thing

[cerulean perch]

Yeah

Like Choral Chambers, it’s the best

[raven rock]

what is choral chambers

[cerulean perch]

Its chambers where Marissa sings

[torn oasis]

no best sk area is ||verdania||

[raven rock]

[noble abyss]

||Sands of Karak||

[torn oasis]

[noble abyss]

||seths and speintmasters||

[high fiber]

[manic folio]

oh i have above 300 messeages

i just messeage a mod to get image perms right

[raven rock]

[torn oasis]

[manic folio]

eh whatever i probably wouldnt use it as much

i have like 2 charms left to get

[vestal sapphire]

what exactly does hornet mean by this

she wants the knight to face their past but how exactly does that make the knight capable of ending the infection permanently

we know that it leads to void heart but hornet doesn't know that

[honest shale]

#hk-lore

[manic folio]

shes stupid

[delicate coral]

@bitter jolt here you can see my skill issues from a few weeks ago, these were my first two last phases. This happens basically every time where I literally just forget how to do it and resort to whatever this is. I checked and i have two more actually clipped but theyre not on my phone since im a switch player, they're pretty much the same though so it doesn't matter. Also ignore my shaky climbs because again these were my first two final phases. I think I just need to do normal absrad a few times to actually remember how to do last phase properly since I was never actually very good at it

[honest shale]

its nearly 12 am here

[stuck hamlet]

hi

[delicate coral]

Its almost 2pm here

whereabouts are you

[honest shale]

but we are the ones who live in Australia

[stuck hamlet]

hi

[honest shale]

and hes the one that has to reapond

[foggy sable]

eastern australia

[stuck hamlet]

tips for nkg

[frozen storm]

Should've shrieked as soon as you finished the climb

[delicate coral]

Ah that makes sense, im in the UK. I didnt know, mb

[honest shale]

i mean 10 pm isnt much better

[frozen storm]

Go to sleep

[honest shale]

no

[delicate coral]

Hello grey

[delicate coral]

Yes

[flat onyx]

hi

[honest shale]

no

[stuck hamlet]

tips for nkg

[frozen storm]

Babies should sleep 10 hours per day

[delicate coral]

Anything in particular

[foggy sable]

hii

[frozen storm]

Go to sleep

[flat onyx]

burn

[delicate coral]

hru

[honest shale]

no

[foggy sable]

I'm good hru

[stuck hamlet]

wdym

[honest shale]

im not sleeping yet

[delicate coral]

Any attack you struggle with? Anything you die to a lot?

[light stirrup]

good luck

[delicate coral]

Good ty

[delicate coral]

I'll get it at some point

[light stirrup]

what charm combo you used?

[stuck hamlet]

yes

[delicate coral]

as a general tip its good to practice just dodging and not hitting nkg at all seeing as its 4 phases of the same thing and the fight doesn't change. So once you can dodge them consistently then you can figure out your hit opportunities

[delicate coral]

Which ones

[delicate coral]

strength qslash shaman soul eater sbody

[light stirrup]

mine is this

[delicate coral]

no sbody?

[bitter jolt]

who pinged

[light stirrup]

why do i need it

[delicate coral]

me, sorry

[delicate coral]

helps

[honest shale]

bro had to wake up for ts 😭

[bitter jolt]

oh hi

[delicate coral]

especially for plats and stuff

[light stirrup]

90% of the time i attack absrad from up, so what's the point

[bitter jolt]

lol hi non

[bitter jolt]

nah nw lemme have a look

[delicate coral]

I mean with longnail its fine ig, even mop

[honest shale]

hello

[delicate coral]

okie

[delicate coral]

hi

[light stirrup]

i didn't use it cuz i needed a charm slot for shaman stone

[delicate coral]

fair

[stuck hamlet]

nkg is hard evin me and iv beat silksong

[bitter jolt]

first of all learn proper Final

second of all your climb rhythm is off but if it works it works

[delicate coral]

I think your overall damage output may be higher with soul eater sbody over longnail twister, plus you get to overcharm an extra slot but its subjective

[raven rock]

believe it or not the knight and hornet have very different playstyles

[light stirrup]

btw, how many radiants do you have?

[delicate coral]

I normally pogo but even then im not great

[bitter jolt]

join vc? I can show you

[light stirrup]

i didn't really need soul eater

[delicate coral]

how so

[stuck hamlet]

true

[delicate coral]

okay

[light stirrup]

radiant markoth????

[bitter jolt]

you should be jumping as soon as the beam telegraphs

[light stirrup]

also why is your screen so desaturated

[delicate coral]

I did him first he's not that bad like people say compared to other things but he took ages

[delicate coral]

Docked switch

[bitter jolt]

join hk 2

[delicate coral]

Coming

[light stirrup]

im trying to beat radiant markoth, and this is my charm set

[stuck hamlet]

tips for nkg plees

[weary sandal]

nkg is too fast for you to react and that's the point

[light stirrup]

be patient. that's all i can suggest

[weary sandal]

how to nkg : play it a lot or look up a guide

[light stirrup]

you need to have a fast reaction time

[weary sandal]

it's not reaction time

[light stirrup]

i didn't need a guide fortunately

[stuck hamlet]

ok one last go

[weary sandal]

the key is that nkg is "The most telegraphed boss" once you get used to him you will always know what attack is next

just try to stay on the ground between attacks because mid air renders less movement options

dashmaster or sprintmaster can help if you're dealing with godhome ver

[stuck hamlet]

im fitting nkg now

[weary sandal]

gl

Goat.

[light stirrup]

tip: once you get good at nkg, he'll be one of your favourite bosses

[weary sandal]

p.s if you have a fast reaction time it can help but you're supposed to make his attacks your instinct

[naive dew]

fun one to optimise

[weary sandal]

once you get past the first stagger you'l beat it in 2 attempts trust me

well probably idk

[stuck hamlet]

hes allredy my fav

[light stirrup]

even better

[weary sandal]

bro speedran the reply

[honest shale]

damn i wish i had any clue what the fuck is going on

[delicate coral]

okay thanks

[bitter jolt]

nw best of luck

[stuck hamlet]

and i am ded

[delicate coral]

one more thing, do you have any tips for a more consistent climb rhythm? because i take more time with it since sometimes i dash into the beam thinking that i'll be able to get through it because im silly

also that facedancing was crazy

holy

[naive dew]

play neon white

[light stirrup]

just be confident

[honest shale]

jump when its telegraphed and wings when it becomes a hotbox

[honest shale]

That doesnt help me understand the fact you’re holding anime girls

[light stirrup]

what

[delicate coral]

how do i know if it's safe to go through the beam

[naive dew]

i love bocchi

[honest shale]

react

[honest shale]

fair enough

[bitter jolt]

if you're out of rhythm wait until you're ready to climb again

[bitter jolt]

lol ty

my beam baiting was really bad but yeah it's just experience

[delicate coral]

yeah im sure i'll get better at it eventually

[light stirrup]

good luck

[delicate coral]

watching r5 will probably help me get a better grasp on it tbf

[honest shale]

no the fuck it wont

[foggy sable]

I've never watched anyone elses r5 clear

it isn't required

[honest shale]

terrible mistake on my part

[delicate coral]

no i mean like just absrad

[stuck hamlet]

i will beat nkg no nail

[honest shale]

tryna learn face dancing on rad absrad

[delicate coral]

i guess

[foggy sable]

learning face dancing is not worth

[honest shale]

i mean its not hard to do it

its hard to do it well

[foggy sable]

I can't do it so it must be impossible

[weary sandal]

thorns of agony is peak btw

[dry creek]

i cant do it coz i use a controller

[honest shale]

it is pogo, regular hit in its simplest form

[hollow forge]

i think i just used up 7 years of luck this moment because i just beat pure vessel with shell binding on and getting hit just once. holy fucking fuck

[foggy sable]

I can't change nail directions that fast

[honest shale]

u can get more complicated but that is the bare minimum

[weary sandal]

Bro is the Hollow Knight

lore accurate pure vessel vs in game pure vessel

[honest shale]

I dont believe you

controller is like the easiest to turnaround cancel on

[dry creek]

oh rlly?

awesome

[foggy sable]

it is

[copper spruce]

Okay

[weary sandal]

i genuinely beat p5 with it

[delicate coral]

ik

[weary sandal]

and i still have it in my charm build to this day

[foggy sable]

wow what a coincidence I also beat p5 with thorns

[weary sandal]

GOAT

[honest shale]

you arent real

[weary sandal]

I am, I beat Absrad on ascended with thorn

[dry creek]

i dont care about what charms people like atp

[weary sandal]

I got used to having thorns when i first equipped it to this day

which was before city of tears

on my first playthrough

[dry creek]

like i hate thorns but im not gonna persuade anyone to change their charms because i dont like them

[honest shale]

for my own mental health, i choose to believe you are a figment of my imagination

[weary sandal]

You can fight me all you want but I also don't use quick slash

[weary sandal]

best opinion btw

thorns is a personal preference charm

it's like 5 frames of no movement or sm

people lowk act like 5 frames will sentence you to radiant markoth for eternity or sum

[warm aurora]

Did you see the thorns p5 run?

[weary sandal]

what

[tidal jewel]

Fucking hate this place

[warm aurora]

It will

[warm aurora]

On yt

[weary sandal]

no

[warm aurora]

You should

[weary sandal]

why

I experienced it

[warm aurora]

Idk thorns or something

[dry creek]

is it thorns only?

[warm aurora]

You said ascended absrad or you are the guy or I am missing p5 context

[foggy sable]

there is a thorns only damage run

[warm aurora]

Yes

[dry creek]

oh i see

[weary sandal]

oh well now that's scary

cuz no ustrength

[honest shale]

and also an r5 with thorns as the only charm

wonder who did that

[foggy sable]

I would do it but the run is 100 minutes long or something

and I don't want to learn healing windows

[warm aurora]

Hmm yes
R5 grubsong thorns fury

[dry creek]

i sometimes dont use ustrength because i want the fights to last longer

[weary sandal]

lmao true

[foggy sable]

sounds familiar

[honest shale]

the joke is that greyfire is the one who did the run

[warm aurora]

-# ||idk how to respond||

[weary sandal]

how hard is r5

[foggy sable]

depends who you ask

[honest shale]

yes

[dry creek]

probably very

ive never done it. never finished p5 neither

[warm aurora]

7

[weary sandal]

I want to try r5 one day but I haven't even done radiant hog

[light stirrup]

9 million billion trillion absrad

[weary sandal]

big dreams

[warm aurora]

I am 1 radiant away from radhog, have not done p5 yet
r5 seems worth to try at some point

[light stirrup]

same, but i did beat P5

[foggy sable]

r5 is highly subjective in difficulty

[weary sandal]

You did p5 because you wanted to beat it, I did p5 to spite the godseeker. We are not the same.

[warm aurora]

I would recommend r1-4 before 5

[honest shale]

depends on if they’ve been doing it for 3 years

[warm aurora]

2 and 4 dont seem too bad

[weary sandal]

i mean i feel like that's no shit sherlock but im not the type of guy to be rude so yea

[foggy sable]

I think r5 took only a little longer than radHoG

[honest shale]

or. 6 months actually

[weary sandal]

P3 IS HARDER THAN P4 FIGHT ME

[honest shale]

wtf

[weary sandal]

BECAUSE OF THAT STUPID PRINCE

[honest shale]

no i agree

[foggy sable]

50 hours for r5

[light stirrup]

gpz is NOT that hard

[warm aurora]

Opinions
It does have a bigger difficulty spike from 2 as 4 has from 3

[foggy sable]

and if I had to guess like 40 or more for radHoG

[honest shale]

50 hrs for radhog?

[foggy sable]

I was really bad

[weary sandal]

I used to think that but now when i try p3 and p4 I still find p3 harder

[cerulean perch]

He’s not that bad when Markoth doesn’t precede him

[honest shale]

yeah so was everyone

[foggy sable]

several fights took like 3 hours, several more 2 or longer, absrad took double digits

[weary sandal]

fun fact : I never actually died to markoth in p5

like ever not even now

unless you count the time he crashed my game when i entered his battle

[foggy sable]

a lot took from the half an hour to hour range\

[honest shale]

i choose you arent real either

[warm aurora]

I cant talk from personal experience zote p3 as he wasnt there for me
But I did not die to him in p5

[cerulean perch]

With Zote, you can beat him pretty easily if you go in with a decent amount of health

[foggy sable]

taking a 2 year break was a huge skill boost

[smoky matrix]

I am taking an indefinite break.

[foggy sable]

I played a lot of fairly difficult celeste so just got better at controller games I think

[weary sandal]

I guarantee you p3 would have been second attempt if there was no gpz

[trim schooner]

@honest shale im making the rad anyrad short now :>

[foggy sable]

make anyrad longer imo

[trim schooner]

with the i did it my way song like you suggested :>

[warm aurora]

I took long cuz sly

[stuck hamlet]

BYE I GOT TO SLEEP

[weary sandal]

i dont want to be rude so im gonna respond to this but idk what to say

[honest shale]

Perfect

[smoky matrix]

You didn't need to.

[weary sandal]

sly was easy for me the ploblem was getting my baldurs through the stupid fucking grey prince dunce

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-zote-the-knight-gif-14177395

[trim schooner]

ill release it in like 25 minutes max

[foggy sable]

I did it see

[weary sandal]

aw man

[trim schooner]

i want to go to sleep by 1

[trim schooner]

ah yes, anyrad '1'.0

[honest shale]

its a miracle grey didnt say anbad at the first sight of anyrad conversation

[foggy sable]

anyrad looks like normal rad so I needed a 2.0 image

[trim schooner]

fair enough

[smoky matrix]

AnyBad should look like dead Rad.

[trim schooner]

2.0 is fun though

[weary sandal]

chat how many spoilers did you know on your first playthrough for hk on a scale of 1-10

[honest shale]

image of orbs attack

[trim schooner]

CAS is hard and so are the dodges but they're fun to learn

[foggy sable]

true

anyway zote is my new enemy

[weary sandal]

i had like a 3

[trim schooner]

orbs on 2.0 is easier than 1.0

[dry creek]

like. a lot but not enough to know like any of the lore

[weary sandal]

simply bc i knew hk from the clip of that guy saying

"are we going to fight the sun?"

[honest shale]

maybe i was half decent at hk bcs ive been playing platformers pretty much my whole life

[foggy sable]

hk was the first real 2d game I played on controller

so I was very bad because it was the first 2d combat game I'd played really

[weary sandal]

hk was my first game with an actual storyline

[trim schooner]

it was the first 2d game i played (other than gd) full stop lol

[weary sandal]

lmao almost same except cat goes fishing and undertale

[honest shale]

yeah so for the 1.0 image just take it during orbs

[foggy sable]

there was one 2d platformer that doesn't really count

[dry creek]

hk was my first metroidvania

[weary sandal]

and i didnt really play undertale much + didnt enjoy it

[foggy sable]

so that is why I specified

[unique sandal]

hk was like the first challenging game i ever played !

unless terraria and rayman legends count as challenging

[foggy sable]

same same

[weary sandal]

well I did play EToH (roblox) beforehand

[dry creek]

well. sort of. i played slime rancher but hk was my first 2d metroidvania

[unique sandal]

sick :>

[weary sandal]

so it wasnt my FIRST challenging game

[honest shale]

i played mario maker 2 and a lot of kirby beforehand so that might explain it

[weary sandal]

does anyone remember level maker

[honest shale]

in what

[foggy sable]

I have played a lot of strategy games

[unique sandal]

same!

[foggy sable]

a lot

[weary sandal]

no the mobile app level maker

well this isnt hk related so

[honest shale]

no

[unique sandal]

no idea what that is

[weary sandal]

im so sad now

[unique sandal]

o which?
or like, the big ones

[weary sandal]

anyway

[foggy sable]

a lot of eu4, some civ, some other paradox games

some age of empires

[unique sandal]

oooooh coolcoolcool

i uuh, used to play supremacy but that game is bad

civ i wish i could get into

[foggy sable]

I played a lot of 5

it is great

[unique sandal]

mmm

i have 6 but i havent played it much is that one also good?

[foggy sable]

I prefer 6

I mostly played back in hs

[unique sandal]

aah

was that before you started hk ?

[sly tartan]

how do i see how many messages i’ve sent

[foggy sable]

yes, I started hk in like 2022 for the most part

so all the other things were before that except for stellaris

[sly tartan]

woah

unc

[trim schooner]

its kiier!

[honest shale]

gross someone who started playing before shitsongs release

[unique sandal]

damnn, i think strategy games can be considered challenging though!

just a different kind of challenge i suppose

[sly tartan]

exactly

[hollow forge]

im starting to notice that p4 has a specific theme

[unique sandal]

hi end

[hollow forge]

which is be careful when and where you dash

[foggy sable]

well I played until like p5 and radHoG in 2022 than mostly took a break except for a little bit in early 2024 then just went into r5 things in early 2025

[foggy sable]

it is quite fun for a less intense type of challenge

[honest shale]

interesting

[trim schooner]

hi kiier :>

[foggy sable]

I think I did up to r3 before going for r5

and p1ab and p2ab

[honest shale]

bro just skipped r4

[foggy sable]

I got that later

[unique sandal]

yea makes sense!

[foggy sable]

I just have always skipper p4 related things like p4ab

[unique sandal]

it took me 2 years to beat p5

cause i quit

[unique sandal]

hhru

[honest shale]

atp i might have to skip p3ab altogether

[foggy sable]

it is difficult and also sort of crazy now how easy it feels in comparison to back then

[honest shale]

its fucking nuts

[foggy sable]

p5 I mean

[unique sandal]

p3ab is lowk harder than p4ab

[foggy sable]

I did p3ab after p5ab if that helps

[unique sandal]

radiant i wouldnt know

[trim schooner]

doing fine thx, editing the rad anyrad short :>

hbu

[unique sandal]

but i wouldnt be surprised if r3 is harder than r4

[honest shale]

wtf are u on and can i have some

[trim schooner]

first 3.0 ag oc player took 2 years to clear p5 smh

[foggy sable]

I've never failed p3ab and have one failed attempt at p4ab

so that makes p4ab harder surely

[unique sandal]

like fine, got kinda bored of oc 2.0 really quickly, cause 2.0 sucks!!!!!!!

[foggy sable]

I skipped to r5 then went and did p5ab as practice and learning

[trim schooner]

2.0 is goated

[honest shale]

no it means it has ecg

[foggy sable]

truee

[unique sandal]

damn did you do it after radiant or did you just do it super easily

or something along the lines of tyhat

[foggy sable]

well after p5ab doing p3ab was sort of easy

[unique sandal]

im a bitter loser dont listen to me

[foggy sable]

because it is just easier in every way pretty much

[unique sandal]

oh yea right

that makes sense

[foggy sable]

and now not having done p4ab is sort of a joke so

[honest shale]

well for starters collector is easier

and he still gives me nightmares

[foggy sable]

and you get easier lifeblood for zote

and it is basically just 3 fights

[trim schooner]

lol thats fair

[honest shale]

u get lifeblood for zote?

[trim schooner]

i do see how anything above attuned 2.0 would suck

but thankfully i wouldn't know :>

[honest shale]

isnt it before tmg?

[foggy sable]

yes because zote is second half

[unique sandal]

i dont really liked attuned either

[foggy sable]

after galien and uumuu maybe

[unique sandal]

anyrad 2.0 and 3.0 just arent very fun in general imo

3.0 plats is ok if you get fine rng i guess

[hollow forge]

god p4 charm binding will be the death of me

[trim schooner]

lol

[honest shale]

its before uumuu but i thought it was after god tamer

[hollow forge]

lost kin is so absurdly hard once you get used to quickslash

[foggy sable]

nope

[trim schooner]

yea 3.0 sounds unfun especially with how long it takes to 'clear' ground

[foggy sable]

it is hive knight, hu, collector, tamer, tmg, galien, something idk

I don't play p3 much so the later order is unknown

[honest shale]

apparently after galien its zote, uumuu, hornet 2 and sly

[foggy sable]

makes sense

[unique sandal]

lowk plats challenges are so much more fun cause you get essentially the same difficulty but less waiting, the only real difference is i guess not having to think about starless hp and there being less of a mental challenge

[trim schooner]

yea

[honest shale]

im genuinly getting ragebaited by smash bros cpus

[naive dew]

@foggy sable

[foggy sable]

hiii melone hru

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

[sick heath]

Damn Big Bird got hands

[winter wren]

the bugs are in my skin

[hollow forge]

i really wish they chose a different shade of orange for the infected lumaflies because whenever you kill a watcher knight it looks like it turns into farts

[manic folio]

give them geo theyll leave

[winter wren]

the zotes are in my skin

[manic folio]

21

[honest shale]

in the corner we have some guy having a mental breakdown!

[winter wren]

every time you discuss stuff ill be there

every day.....ill be there

[unique sandal]

yea ok now i dont care bye

[honest shale]

ive had him blocked for like 3 days now

[winter wren]

BUGS...

[foggy sable]

some people just get blocked so fast

[naive dew]

hi corn

[honest shale]

at what point is it ok to @ mods?

[unique sandal]

i mean it doesnt seem to mean much if youre still aknowledging them? unless theyre not bothering you

[foggy sable]

idk

[honest shale]

just whenever they enter

bcs its funny to say they’re having a mental breakdown

[sick heath]

Hi melone

[honest shale]

yes

anyways ima go to bed now

[foggy sable]

[wispy willow]

[true beacon]

[dawn nacelle]

The reason why none of the vessels were truly hollow is because the Pale King literally enhanced the minds of lower beings just by existing, so it would make sense that the same thing would happen to the vessels.

[trim schooner]

guh

the video took way longer than expected

[trim schooner]

cya non o/

[meager apex]

lowkey

radiance fight ost is underrated

[bitter jolt]

yea its pretty good

[humble dock]

vro am i cooked i wanted to see what happens if i dont dream nail the pure vessel and now hornet is kinda dead and i have to press t will i be not able to fight radiance??

[stark marlin]

no you won't
but it's also a separate ending so good that you did it

[fervent bronze]

you can do it next time

[storm flax]

OH MY GOSH HAI NOXIE

[wispy willow]

ggs

[humble dock]

https://giphy.com/gifs/BfpDxZIJrzmoobf2Zm

i didnt do anything lol

[naive dew]

mathy gg

[amber rose]

Fuck everything about the white palace

[sour flax]

ok im going more grimm attempts

im lowk tweaking

[stark marlin]

apart from hiveblood

[smoky matrix]

Hiveblood isn't related to White Palace.

[sour flax]

when will grimm use his dash moveeee

tharts like the only time i get dmggg

[lapis musk]

Learn to get damage on the other moves

[sour flax]

ive managed to get him to 75% twice

[stark marlin]

well no but actually yes

[stark marlin]

on pillars no? on slash it's a bit harder... what about firebats? This is the freest one

[foggy sable]

with sharp shadow imo

[sour flax]

ok ok ok ok ok

[stark marlin]

...

[sour flax]

ive found a spot where i can hit him once during the fire rain move thing

i cant attack him in pufferfish

and for the bat fire move and the spike move i can spell him

but i usually use the spike move to heal

[smoky matrix]

No, with Thorns.

[stark marlin]

on flame pillars swap to cosmic discharge for best dps

[foggy sable]

true

[sour flax]

true...

[foggy sable]

anyway why do I keep dying to gpz

[smoky matrix]

Because you're a chud.

[sour flax]

but cant i just use dragon pow

🤔

[stark marlin]

and on dashes as we all know essence flayer

[sour flax]

oh yess

[frozen storm]

P1-4eb done

[sour flax]

i gotta use asgardian aegis for the ram dashhh

[frozen storm]

Pretty easy ngl

[stark marlin]

don't forget your warbanner of the sun charm

[sour flax]

ok ive swapped my down button with my up button

[lapis musk]

Buddy

[sour flax]

if im using warhammer i should use murasama tho

*warbanner

cuz true melee

[stark marlin]

muramasa not good single target

[foggy sable]

?

[pure valve]

i was looking through old conversations with my friend and found this message (referring to nkg) (she likes absrad btw)

yknow absrad like the moth who wants the knight dead

[foggy sable]

I would never spread bad information

ever

rarely

[lapis musk]

Hm

[foggy sable]

sometimes

[smoky matrix]

Listen to the R5'er. Not like you've got multiple harder achievements under your belt.

[lapis musk]

getting there

[frozen storm]

Why would you spread bad information

[foggy sable]

often

[stark marlin]

that same person has recommended sharp shadow mere minutes ago

[foggy sable]

got it, I'm only allowed to recommend it for uumuu

[lapis musk]

Disagree

[frozen storm]

Why uumuu

[stark marlin]

and maayybe tlord

[lapis musk]

grey hasnt even done p4ab iirc

[frozen storm]

Trans lord

[smoky matrix]

TRUE.

[lapis musk]

let alone r5

[foggy sable]

WELL

[lapis musk]

smh

[foggy sable]

pv killed me last time iirc

[smoky matrix]

This noob.

[smoky matrix]

Also rather good for PV.

[frozen storm]

@shrewd nymph

[smoky matrix]

Oh hell no. Not @shrewd nymph.

[foggy sable]

and for nkg of course

[pure valve]

fury of the fallen is the best charm and no one can convince me otherwise

[stark marlin]

whom we've got; trans lord, markoth pride, Woke Vessel, Gay Prince Zote...

[lapis musk]

got it

[smoky matrix]

If you're good at hitless stuff, sure.

[lapis musk]

it lowk isnt even the best still which is funny

[pure valve]

i was actually talking about the fact that it makes nail swings look cooler but yeah good point

[frozen storm]

Quickslash

[smoky matrix]

Hornet.

[pure valve]

quickslash doesnt make your nail swings lookc ooler

[frozen storm]

Faster = cooler

Look at the flash or McQueen

[pure valve]

good point good point

quickslash is the best charm

[stark marlin]

what's lgbt about hornet

[foggy sable]

if I was only running one charm I would use fury

[pure valve]

uhh shes lesbian idk why she just is

[smoky matrix]

I think her entire existence.

[stark marlin]

but nothing in the name...

[frozen storm]

She's homophobic how can she be lesbian

[sour flax]

OH COME ONNN

[smoky matrix]

No, you'd use Thorns.

[sour flax]

I GOT HIM UNDER 50% IM NOT SURE HOW LOW

[amber rose]

Apart from the fact it takes two years to heal so you spend half the time staring at buzz saws waiting rather then playing the game

[pure valve]

what if she hates the fact that shes lesbian but cant feel attraction for men

[foggy sable]

fury nail arts though are so so good

[frozen storm]

Isn't that a longer way to say that you hate yourself

[pure valve]

yes

[smoky matrix]

Yeah, but Thorns enjoyer.

[stark marlin]

I'd rather stare at buzzsaws while doing a wordle than die and have to respawn

[foggy sable]

the original statement was on effectiveness I thought

[smoky matrix]

Oh, okay.

[frozen storm]

But thorns

[stark marlin]

Thorns of Agony: The bearer may forever be in agony

[foggy sable]

it is extremely effective as a charm in certain runs

a must have charm even

[smoky matrix]

Yeah!! Runs like, "Thorns only".

[pure valve]

guys if you wrre forced to not combine qslash and strength which one would you use

[foggy sable]

yes, many such runs

[smoky matrix]

I don't combine them as is.

But QS.

[pure valve]

id personally go for strength, its more consistent sincr it doesnt rely on the hoss having nail spam windows

[stark marlin]

like in challenge runs when for example you can't use nail?

[foggy sable]

not really

[lapis musk]

Qslash is strength + more soul gain

[foggy sable]

like in challenges where you are forced to use thorns

[stark marlin]

obv quick slash
strength is qslash but with no soul gain boost

[stark marlin]

with this logic gwomb can be essential

[lapis musk]

Correct

[foggy sable]

nah

[lapis musk]

gwomb is essential in a gwomb only challenge

So the logic works

[foggy sable]

gwomb is a net negative in those challenges

thorns is at worst useless

[pure valve]

wait oh yeah i forgot soul existed 😭

havent played in a long time

[stark marlin]

it's like the essential thing, to heal with it
game would be like near unbeatable without it

[foggy sable]

not close to near unbeatable

[gray rivet]

Mrowmroemeoemroe

[foggy sable]

hiiiii fox

[gray rivet]

Hiiiiii grey

Hru

[sour flax]

im doing good

i keep egtting it to 50%

i died cuz i accidentally walked into the fire rain which left me on 1 mask and then failed to no hit the pufferfish

[foggy sable]

eeping soon hru

[stark marlin]

ok maybe doable
I mean technically glass soul is "doable" so

[gray rivet]

I'm okay, I should sleep too soon though, sleep well when you do!

[foggy sable]

actually it might not be doable without something like itemless shade skip to blue lake hmmm

[foggy sable]

surely

getting enough sleep is only somewhat needed anyway

[stark marlin]

ahh the baldur...
I think you could do blss without spell stalls?

[foggy sable]

itemless blue lake is possible

idk how to do it

[smoky matrix]

Like, this is legit the worst organised server I have seen. Why is this an injoke playground for ~100 people and not a discussion forum for anything?

[foggy sable]

so true

[gray rivet]

Exactlyy

[dusky coral]

what

[stark marlin]

I think it's a bit easier if you collect a mask... there are 4 itemless mask shards even?

[smoky matrix]

Don't worry about it.

[dusky coral]

https://tenor.com/view/jack-sparrow-johnny-depp-pirates-gif-5943270

[proud haven]

true I hate everyone here

[smoky matrix]

Hi Connor.

[proud haven]

WHAT??!?!?!?!?! I'm not Connor Lee Gregory?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?!

I'm brand new to this "Hollow Knight Server"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[smoky matrix]

Oh, I see.

[proud haven]

Mhmm

[sour flax]

YES YES YES

[proud haven]

Thank you

[stark marlin]

damn you're quite stacked for him

[dusky coral]

what is hollow and why is it a knight

[sour flax]

DUDE THIS CORNER WALL THING

IS SO GOOD HOLY SHIT

I JUST HUGGED IT THE ENTIRE TIME

IT HARD COUNTERS THE FIRE RAIN MOVE

[dusky coral]

yea now comes the fun part

this was the easy grimm

[foggy sable]

that is the fun grimm

[molten yoke]

Haii

[foggy sable]

hiiiii

[molten yoke]

Js been for a shower so I feel amazing

[foggy sable]

nice

[molten yoke]

You done anything cool today?

[proud haven]

I slayed a dragon

[foggy sable]

not much, did some zote and a lot of talking about politics and econ

[proud haven]

Or I suppose I SLEW a dragon

[foggy sable]

did you?

[proud haven]

Mhmm

[delicate coral]

They're both fun wdym

[molten yoke]

Damn

[proud haven]

Neither are

[molten yoke]

Nah, not much

[foggy sable]

I don't like nkg

[delicate coral]

How come

[smoky matrix]

"Tell me it didn't snow!"
"It snew."

[sterile canyon]

[foggy sable]

not interesting for me really

[smoky matrix]

Because she's a chud.

[delicate coral]

Thats fair

[sterile canyon]

What's ur favorite boss

[dusky coral]

boundless infinity

[foggy sable]

it is one of those fights where once you learn it well sort of stops being engaging

[hearty monolith]

sister of batelr

[foggy sable]

absrad

[sterile canyon]

[proud haven]

what does that mean

[smoky matrix]

Told you.

[delicate coral]

mossy

[foggy sable]

sheo and gpz are up there

[sterile canyon]

[smoky matrix]

That she's not a based, red pilled, giga chad.

[delicate coral]

sly is quite fun

[proud haven]

Ohhhhh makes sense thank you

[delicate coral]

sly gets too much hate ngl

[foggy sable]

sly is a cool nail art based fight

[sterile canyon]

He has a learning curve I guess

[delicate coral]

also tyrant

[hearty monolith]

my washing machine sounds like its bouta blow up

[delicate coral]

true

[hearty monolith]

its making helicopter sourdghosgnthbtsw

[sterile canyon]

Not mitski

[delicate coral]

grey is rad galien hard for you

or annoying

[foggy sable]

normal rad galien?

[agile pewter]

Annoying.

[foggy sable]

not really

[agile pewter]

Slightly annoying

[delicate coral]

more so than most others?

[foggy sable]

a bit annoying at times but it wouldn't take more than 1-2 attempts I imagine

[agile pewter]

No, just a bit
It's the boss's floating pattern

Everything else is fine

[delicate coral]

I see

my first time I did him radiant he was so infuriating

[foggy sable]

nothing easy than some bosses radiant ab is really difficult atm

[sterile canyon]

Leon

[foggy sable]

the first time though he was annoying

[dusky coral]

radiant no eyes needs to be hated as much as radiant markoth

[agile pewter]

:|

[smoky matrix]

That feeling when knee surgery is tomorrow.

[sterile canyon]

I swear I remember talking to you before

[amber rose]

I can’t stand my hatred for this place

[agile pewter]

What a coincidence
I remember talking to myself before too

[sterile canyon]

[manic folio]

i got image perms yay

[silent shell]

jjba reference

[jaunty raft]

Nice

[fallow grotto]

wow

[agile pewter]

I know

Incredible memory

[amber rose]

Is there a way to get to the pale king’s throne with out doing parkour hell after getting the fragment

Or am I fucked

[jaunty raft]

Bad news, u need to get thru the parkour,

[amber rose]

Fuck my life

It’s not worth it to sit on his throne and see maybe cool secrets

[waxen otter]

?

[amber rose]

Why ?

[waxen otter]

Hi

[waxen otter]

Did something happen to you?

[hollow forge]

what r your charms

the parkouring gets significantly easier with grubsong and hiveblood

youre basically immortal with them both equipped if you wait enough for your health to regenerate

[amber rose]

I got the white fragment which I forgot it teleports you outside of the throne room and I didn’t get to see all the cool stuff and I don’t want to do all that platforminh again

[amber rose]

Yeah I have grub song and hive blood this place is just bs

[hollow forge]

oh wait you got it already

yeah unfortunately the secret rooms are all on the highest region of the white palace

aka the one where the spikes go in and out

[hollow forge]

even path of pain

[waxen otter]

Ah, Im see

Understand

[hollow forge]

also you cant sit on his throne after you get the fragment

which is sad

[true beacon]

Heya! :3

[naive dew]

noxie

[copper spruce]

Ok

[true beacon]

melone

[waxen otter]

Жуки

(Beetles)

[stark marlin]

Żuki

[waxen otter]

Yeah

[silk cloak]

Am I about to challenge the literal Sun?

[stark marlin]

good luck
and good heals

[silk cloak]

Uh what

Should I puty headphones on?

[dusky coral]

Yes the music is fire af

[silk cloak]

Ok

Imma go challenge the Sun again

[light stirrup]

im trying to learn how to shriek jump

i managed to get from soul water to this p4 platform

[bold turret]

nice !

[light stirrup]

did it again

[molten yoke]

Damn nice!

[stark marlin]

I like you because you use weaversong

[light stirrup]

i like the little goobers

[molten yoke]

Probably the only reason I’d ever use it

[stark marlin]

my reason is the soul they give with grubsong
OP charm

[light stirrup]

i like them more than glowing womb, cuz knightlings do not look cute, and they waste soul

but i do like weavers

[molten yoke]

Yh valid

Best looking minion charm

Worst is glowing womb yh

And grimmchild is…eh

[light stirrup]

grimmchild is also pretty cool

[molten yoke]

Eh, I’m not a massive fan of it. It’s why I banished on my first playthrough

[light stirrup]

YOU MONSTER

[molten yoke]

I wanted Carefree Melody okay?

I did it for the charm

[light stirrup]

eh... fine

though i would like if brumm gifted it as a gift after you defeat nkg ngl

[molten yoke]

Yh

Instead of that weird guy in dirtmouth

[light stirrup]

anything to satisfy elderbug ngl

also, if you haven't, please gift him delicate flower

[fiery trench]

whats wrong with Nymm?
-# at least I think thats his name

[light stirrup]

am i the only one who thinks he looks a bit brainwashed?

[fiery trench]

I mean he was

[molten yoke]

Yh I, uh, only figured out you could gift it to others when it was too late

[fiery trench]

u can still get them from the grave

[molten yoke]

Wait you can?

[light stirrup]

yeah

that's how i gifted him and the godseeker the flower

[molten yoke]

Ohhhhh

Never knew that

[light stirrup]

just rest in dirtmouth, without resting on a bench get to the traitor lords child's grave, grab the delicate flower, and just leave the game

that's how i gifted df to elderbug

[molten yoke]

Alrighty

[fiery trench]

well to be fair, how many people r going back to the grave after completing the quest

[molten yoke]

Yh not me

[molten yoke]

I will do that the next time I’m on hk

[fiery trench]

yknow what very slightly ruins Soul Sanctum
putting it on piano roll and then raising its pitch by 1200 cents

makes every 1/4th press extremely obvious

[warm aurora]

Soul sanctum ost is underrated

I have it ranked 2nd of the hk ost

Which might be a hot take in the other direction

[bold turret]

i hated it on my first playthrough because i hated soul sanctum so it was stressing me out

[agile shell]

I finally beat NKG on ascended no spells

It took so long

[agile shell]

Same tho ngl

[jaunty dune]

I don’t rlly use spells anyway on nkg

[agile shell]

Ye also no heals too

[jaunty dune]

I’ve done radiant with no spells

I jst don’t think he’s a rlly spell based boss

[agile shell]

Yeah

[jaunty dune]

The only time I might use a spell is his 4 fire attack

But I always forget to abyss

Shriek

[main elk]

hive knight pisses me off

[rich sparrow]

I just beat p5 for the second time and got the delicate flower ending 🥳

[raven rock]

you don't need to spoiler it

[silk cloak]

The sound I make when radiance kills me

Literally

[jaunty dune]

Which radiance

[silk cloak]

Normal

[main elk]

i genuinely feel like quitting the game just because of the hive knight runback

[silk cloak]

The damn orb spawned in me😭

I hate hive knight

I react too fast

[main elk]

same

[silk cloak]

Like Broken vessel also

[main elk]

ans i start panicing so i just start spamming my spells

[silk cloak]

Broken vessel had too much winduo

[main elk]

frrr

[silk cloak]

But hey now I have the monarch wings and can just double jump if i jump too early

[main elk]

im 95% and im doing hive knight for the 1% the fight gives and the charm

so i’d be at 97%

[silk cloak]

Oh yeah nice

Im at 107%

[main elk]

but idk if i can beat them

[warm aurora]

You can choose to do the fight later when you get an ability to delete the runback

How much essence do you have?

[agile shell]

I forgot to get the last mask shard

[warm aurora]

Hive Knight is very fun

So is his music

[silk cloak]

Husky Have you tried traitor lord?

Because its an experience

It took me 20 tries

Just for me to get hit ONCE when I beat him

LITERALLY

ONCE

Imma assume this is a trend

Because this looks like a trend

[thorny dust]
