#

they are literally my favourite bosses in the game

keen thorn
#

I did AbsRad radiant every day as well, multiple clears before I'd do the R5 run
And AbsRad is my favorite full gear fight

#

I still threw two runs to absrad

compact wasp
#

ye I expect that

keen thorn
#

And threw two 1 hit runs into 2 hit runs to absrad

#

Also one 1 hit PV run

foggy sable
#

funny story about losing runs to pv

compact wasp
#

this will probably be the point in hollow knight when something finally makes me more nervous than farewell golden ever did holy shit

tropic nest
foggy sable
#

the second stage of the focus attack can still hit you after you kill pv

digital grove
#

very true grublaugh

keen thorn
#

Fwg and R5 are actually like, THE challenge of their game

#

I appreciate how that turned out

compact wasp
foggy sable
#

when I went back to r5 after doing some side quests I dove into the void on plats absrad and got hit after pv died in 2 seperate 1 hits

frigid terrace
#

R5 is like Fwg if it was more ass and also had RNG

digital grove
#

diving into void on plats is so felt

compact wasp
#

literally just the moonberry room

foggy sable
compact wasp
#

fuck that

frigid terrace
#

What the balls is bad about mb room

foggy sable
#

in hindsight it was so funny

#

although tbf it was a bit funny at the time

digital grove
#

It really is funny but also wai

compact wasp
frigid terrace
#

Oh well maybe I'm just built different

compact wasp
#

to the point it somewhat became rng to me

#

like an actual gamble

keen thorn
compact wasp
#

btw just a question. Mainly because the things people achieve here are just so much higher than anything I have ever seen. Would I be considered a good hollow knight player?

flat vigil
#

Thank Guys you were right.. Actually cof with no nail upgrade is really simple

keen thorn
foggy sable
#

that's fine

keen thorn
#

That and Markoth

compact wasp
keen thorn
foggy sable
#

a 2 hit is the same amount away from r5 as a 1 hit anyway basically

indigo grail
digital grove
#

i would just walk into the river and become a trout personally if i fell into void during absrad final

compact wasp
foggy sable
#

and subjective

indigo grail

keen thorn
compact wasp
#

yeah it is extremely subjective

#

speedrunners, challenge runners etc

frigid terrace
nova quest
#

mediocrity is achieved once u complete p5ab with at most 5 hits

foggy sable
#

but also like, I don't think of myself as a good player

tardy quest
#

yo

nova quest
#

anything less is substandard and u should give up the game immediately

compact wasp
compact wasp
#

but eh maybe I am just overthinking it

foggy sable
#

if you think you are a good player it is probably good enough

keen thorn
tardy quest
#

i think i am

keen thorn
foggy sable
#

the thing is you tend to always do challenges that are hard

#

so always feel bad at the game

compact wasp
keen thorn
#

If you want to see how much you've grown do an easy challenge you haven't touched

compact wasp
#

I did do steel heart first try

nova quest
#

show gruzmother (ascended) how far you've come

finite ember
#

Hey guys I have questio

compact wasp
#

fricking hell now that I think about, I don't even remember what the dying animation outside godhome looks like

foggy sable
#

actually wait I have times taken from 2 challenge sets

finite ember
#

If I fought zote in p5 do I have to fight him in a god home save if I make on3?

compact wasp
#

he is inevitable. good luck

finite ember
#

He's not too bad honestly, but haven't played in abwhile

foggy sable
#

it will be fun to compare rabono and 04r when gpz is done

compact wasp
#

btw do you guys ever have moments where you insult your abilities in a game, and suddenly the people around you and ask "dude if you are bad, then wtf are we?"

frigid terrace
#

No

keen thorn
finite ember
nova quest
#

no because i have never once failed in anything i pursue

compact wasp
#

sounds like a miserable life

Guys also... Is there a real difference between a switch 1 and a pc to play hi?

#

Hk

foggy sable
finite ember

foggy sable
#

not markoth really

#

well a bit

finite ember
#

Then who

compact wasp
#

markoth is a very easy shade soul shaman victim

flat vigil
finite ember
#

I lose lots health on him

naive dew
#

@foggy sable

finite ember
#

For me he's the hardest on

foggy sable
#

actually the one with absrad on top is rabono and the other is 04r

foggy sable
#

so markoth is up there but less of a problem on rabono because the spells are only like 50% of the damage in 04r

compact wasp
finite ember
#

Those are for the modified runs right

#

Is absolute radiance hard on regular I haven't fot yet

foggy sable
keen thorn
foggy sable
#

and the answer is because the fight is like 150 nail hits per phase

nosk took me like 4 hours but radiance (normal) took me like 30 minutes

awwww grubsad

So that perspective is interesting.

unkempt summit

the fight is surprisingly fair when you learn it

@autumn ice Hi!! grubomg are you online? Your perspective would be cool here

nova quest
#

if you cant intuit a bosses move-set upon just glancing at it you arent cut out for these streets

empty lynx
compact wasp
# worthy peak interesting.

||I think its a similar situation to how people find nkg harder than pv. When people do nkg, they haven't had exposure to that level of speed yet. So its more of a whiplash than a fight for the first multiple hours sometimes. But by the time you meet pv, most people have fought nkg. So they are used to insane speeds that pv is SLIGHTLY faster at. So pv ends up taking less time than nkg for people just because the learning curve isn't as steep. Just like how you are trained to fight Lace 2 times before facing her in the end while karmellita is fully new.||

unkempt summit
compact wasp
#

yeah I am kinda just saying why "pv is easier cuz it took me less time" doesn't exactly work for this one situation

unkempt summit
#

tho I would say PV gets easier when you master it

worthy peak
compact wasp
foggy sable
#

it is almost unanimous that pv is harder I think

unkempt summit
compact wasp
#

yeah I thought so too. We literally had like 4 people here earlier who thought nkg was harder than pv

#

its surprisingly not that rare

keen thorn
#

But for newbies fighting both for the first time it's pretty divisive

unkempt summit
#

NKG gets less enjoyable over time asw

compact wasp
#

yeah cuz of the learning curve which I did attempt to explain.

compact wasp
#

so does absrad imo

foggy sable
#

eh, I don't like pv

compact wasp
#

that's fine. For me he is the best in the game by a long shot

foggy sable
#

I will die on this hill it is just like nkg

worthy peak
#

absrad is too enjoyable to get more.

foggy sable
#

absrad is great

tardy quest
#

absrad is so fun

nova quest
#

absrad ❤️

compact wasp
#

I think the main thing is at a certain point nkg lets you kinda turn your brain off becaues it is just..a bit too obvious. Pv does just still need you to use your brain atleast a little bit no matter the experience

unkempt summit
proud raft
#

I just realised PV fires swords whole HK fires infection balls

unkempt summit
#

he gets more and more fun everytime somehow

keen thorn
#

The main difference between PV and NKG is that NKG has all attacks tied to your position (except bats and pillars but those are meh)
PV can teleport anywhere and do any attack except parry and trips

tardy quest
proud raft
#

I wish there was some dreamboss to Watcher Knights

compact wasp
keen thorn
#

So with NKG you can do the exact same inputs every time
PV changed at least ever so slightly

nova quest

i am so washed at this game holy

In my first run
I cheesed WK with Flukeworm spam

nkg just kinda..becomes really boring

Hollow Knight is pretty easy compared to Normal Grimm too for me

ok i read the convo back, sk true final boss is extremely consistent with exactly 1 super rare pattern thats dubious (and is free with iframes); but getting to that consistency is very difficult, there's a lot of nuance to the boss i think and it definitely takes upwards of 10h to actually learn everything about it

# worthy peak dont make it worse?

I mean kinda yes but its never actually worth to use unless you have either lifeblood or youre speedkilling so it doesnt really matter since it only ever pulls weight in fury panths or speedruns

plus fragile strength is totally unusable in radiant bosses

well among a bunch of charms

If it's not horrid do the same thing

Tell me how that goes

tardy quest

first off, i never really practiced zote bc i hate him, but absrad is not that hard no items

and i quit like 4 months ago after p5 all bindings

proud haven

And got to pure vessal on my second try

tardy quest

ofc you need shade cloak, itemless refers to a catogory of playing with the bare nescessity

dear god

not really mantis claw

proud haven

In hk itemless fr means itemless

compact wasp
# tardy quest dear god

look the problem is, whenever someone is talking about how rough something is, they don't really enjoy someone telling em "eh its not that bad" we can celebrate you finding things easy later. You can literally just tell them to be patient and they will get it eventually

empty lynx

#

I'm having trouble with Pure Vessal. I've been dodging some if not most of his attacks.

ebon depot
next tulip
#

But I don't know why I can't dodge his teleport into dive.

tardy quest
#

then why is their a official speedrun list called "absrad no hit itemless" it just means you get the bare minimum, do the research

tardy quest
next tulip
#

I've been dodging him by jumping a lot, is that good or bad.

tardy quest
#

if you pogo

compact wasp
#

that is good

#

but you need to pogo

empty lynx

#

The term itemless was literally birthed in this discord server in this channel was are we even saying

next tulip
#

I also keep accidentally dodging away from him instead of through him.

compact wasp

We know what the term means we literally made it lmao

tardy quest

i liked traitor lord after getting him

ebon depot
#

No

compact wasp
#

no

tardy quest
compact wasp
#

I don't think even itemless base radiance is possible

proud haven
#

I've done this with NO items
Just the ones I viewed as ABSOLUTELY necessary which were all of my charms movement abilities spells and nail upgrades

ebon depot
#

Theres a guaranteed shockwave at a certain hp threshold or smth

compact wasp
#

let alone absrad

empty lynx
#

Most bosses, especially traitor lord. Will always do a different attack after they do the same attack twice in a row

tardy quest
#

i thought it was, i dont use anything but pogo when i fight him

compact wasp
proud haven
#

Hi hk chat

tardy quest
# next tulip Thanks

ofc, you sound like youll get it in barely even a few days, maybe tdy if you have the time

ebon depot
#

You can, if you want to get super technical, airwalk up to a certain spot right above the shockwave that dodges it but thats not humanly possible

empty lynx

Might as well have done r5ab

or even did p5 at all

Magic flying technique

empty lynx
#

She's impossible to do itemless in general
So it switches to minimum items halfway through the fight

compact wasp
#

btw am I correct to assume that p5 3 bindings(no charm binding) is easier than p4 all bindings?

empty lynx
#

uh

#

i don't really know

compact wasp
#

literally just cuz shaman stone

proud haven
#

yeah idk either

#

I'd ask someone who does know

empty lynx
compact wasp
#

probably a full on spell build

empty lynx

ehhh probably wouldn't work

found it

No matter how much soul gain you have you are still capped to 1 cast

i was gonna say strength quickslash shamman heart but quickslash is literally unplayable without sbody

compact wasp

one or a hundred, its still a ballistic missile

and spells are really just superior over weaker nail upgrades

# empty lynx What even is airwalk

After the Floor is Lava TAS, several folks suggested I should make one with an opposite ruleset, where you try to stay on the ground as much as possible. At first I thought it would be a bit boring, but then I remembered that HK has a glitch called airwalk. And during airwalk, the knight is technically grounded midair. This little preview sho...

I don't even know if it's doable on ps5 but ps3 and ps4 have dedicated modding communities

I'd recommend going there first instead of here

It's all really niche

tardy quest
#

modding your ps js aint worth it

glossy mango

you could try modding a 3ds

#

oh btw

proud haven
#

Plus it's the ONLY WAY to randomize bloodbnre

compact wasp
#

I want to try p5 all bindings but the knight feels so bad to play without charms

tardy quest
#

fat fraud charge ontop of all of that

compact wasp
#

it actually just feels boring

glossy mango
#

is there a mod that ports hollow knight to the Wii U as originally intended

tardy quest

uhh

#

i think?

urban grotto

anything is possible tbh

tardy quest
