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
ye I expect that
funny story about losing runs to pv
this will probably be the point in hollow knight when something finally makes me more nervous than farewell golden ever did holy shit
this will happen
the second stage of the focus attack can still hit you after you kill pv
very true 
Actually fwg is a pretty similar challenge to R5 according to people that have done both. But most agree R5 takes more mental fortitude.
Fwg and R5 are actually like, THE challenge of their game
I appreciate how that turned out
Yep, and I did do fwg with the moonberry in there
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
R5 is like Fwg if it was more ass and also had RNG
diving into void on plats is so felt
or just the moonberry room
literally just the moonberry room
it was so funny
fuck that
What the balls is bad about mb room
It really is funny but also 
when you are shaking, it is kinda hard as hell to time a neutral drop jelly boost
Oh well maybe I'm just built different
This will never not be hilarious https://www.youtube.com/live/OBU4NaBhc_g?t=33m15s
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?
Thank Guys you were right.. Actually cof with no nail upgrade is really simple
1 hit run?
2 hits
that's fine
That and Markoth
Ouch...
yeah same.
It was 1 month before I had an actual 1 hit tho
a 2 hit is the same amount away from r5 as a 1 hit anyway basically
What have you done so far in the game?
i would just walk into the river and become a trout personally if i fell into void during absrad final
radiant hall of gods, and my highest achievement is getting 2 hit p5
considered a good hk player is so vague
and subjective
Obv good, probably great

Yes. There are a bit under 300 recorded clears of R5, and most should be, so give or take 350 clears.
It's an incredibly respected challenge and it will give you a new perspective into the game
But yeah as grey said "good player" is subjective
You are never considered a good game until you are the best in the world. That's how it works
mediocrity is achieved once u complete p5ab with at most 5 hits
but also like, I don't think of myself as a good player
yo
anything less is substandard and u should give up the game immediately
Idk the issue is I usually get a very weird kind of imposter syndrome about games. I am not used to being good at games at all, and that carried over to hk. So I find it really tough to be proud of what I am doing. I also just didn't have anyone to celebrate with when I did p5 for the first time, so I never understood that it was such a big deal
so true perhaps
but eh maybe I am just overthinking it
if you think you are a good player it is probably good enough
Dw we all go through that
I had a massive imposter syndrome ad well, it wasn't until everyone started to actually look upon me, and I saw I could do things so well and I could speak with confidence that I understood what I actually had done
i think i am
You're an R5AB contender 💀
the thing is you tend to always do challenges that are hard
so always feel bad at the game
yeah. I just really felt kinda horrible when I finished p5 on my own for the first time at 2 am, and I straight up had no one to celebrate with. I think that was the point where I kinda really lost track of that
If you want to see how much you've grown do an easy challenge you haven't touched
I did do steel heart first try
show gruzmother (ascended) how far you've come
it can lead to funny results
Hey guys I have questio
fricking hell now that I think about, I don't even remember what the dying animation outside godhome looks like
actually wait I have times taken from 2 challenge sets
If I fought zote in p5 do I have to fight him in a god home save if I make on3?
you have to fight him in every godhome save
he is inevitable. good luck
He's not too bad honestly, but haven't played in abwhile
it will be fun to compare rabono and 04r when gpz is done
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?"
No
Read this conversation whenever you have time
It is a core memory for me
#hk-discussion message
What made my R5 clear so special wasn't only the win, it was this
Who are those
no because i have never once failed in anything i pursue
so you never pursued anything
sounds like a miserable life
radiant all bindings old nail only (rabono) and radiant old nail white spells all bindings (04r)
i have pursued everything im just the übermensch you see
The only way to live life is with a 100% win rate
That's some next level stuff
Any sort of familiarity with failure is weakness and should be treated as such
on the lord
The device
most of them are fine just a few problems
I play on ctrolller anyways
i would give switch 1 with p5 on it to a prisoner to get the nuclear launch codes out of em
I wud assume so.... Like markoth
Then who
markoth is a very easy shade soul shaman victim
OK..
I lose lots health on him
@foggy sable
For me he's the hardest on
actually the one with absrad on top is rabono and the other is 04r
hiiiiiiiiiii hru
so markoth is up there but less of a problem on rabono because the spells are only like 50% of the damage in 04r
how did failed champ take more than 3 hours?
Those are for the modified runs right
Is absolute radiance hard on regular I haven't fot yet
well it is under 3 hours and over 2
In the words of BlueSR
"Self deprecation when you're actually good is everyone deprecation"
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
True. I should probably be proud of myself more
there are people who haven't beaten her once in 2 months so..I would say so yes
shes pretty tough
the hard part about base radiance is that she is literally too slow after absrad
i beat absolute radiance pretty quick idk ho
like p5
then you are gifted. Congratulations
Anyways Azure, please read that later whenever you can
I just did again, man I miss those simpler times.
i love this game but ive done everything so im bored and now im here
seriously though beating absrad fast is impressive
Totally, yesterday I died to a kinda hard boss in SK 10 times and felt like trash, then beat the hardest boss in the game in 3 mins (first try in that save file)
do p5ab
which boss
You say this like you're 65 years old
ive beat p5
all bindings
like twice
yh
I have imposter syndrome too sometimes!
I feel like it 👴
I guess if u do boss then u get used to koves
that early? Now I want a screenshot of weathered mask
I have never suffered from imposter syndrome because I just assume I'm bad at video games and move on
damn thats cool
commentary during a run ruins focus so id never (guessing it was streamed as well) but i can only imagine
its on my other ps
I was live doing my R5 run here in discord and everyone was there watching and cheering
im on rl rn
yee I did read that
The support everyone gave me was invaluable
BIG SPOILERS FOR SILKSONG!!!!!!!!!
||Nyleth|| = kinda hard boss
||Skarrsinger Karmelita|| = hardest boss
You have us now
karmelita isnt too bad
what in the uncle iroh is going on here bro
not horrid
It's not like it was back in mid 2025 sadly
idek
She's really hard objectively
Yeah it was streamed
||nyleth|| isn't really hard, even the boss b4 her is harder and ||karmelita|| is not the hardest boss, the true final boss is
I can't believe I beat radiance within Today
ever heard about "opinions"
Abyss Shreik is so goated ngl
||Eh, true final boss isn't too bad||
maybe if you start on silksong, but if you start and beat all of hk its not a hard fight
worse than karmalita
Agree to disagree
or however you spell
||I would rank karmellita like the second hardest in the game cuz every other heart is easy, but LL is just nightmarishly hard if you are looking at it from a hitless pov for me. She needs MUCH more focus than karmellita for me if I am trying to be perfect. Just the learning curve to LL is faster, but she is NOT simpler than karmellita||
I don't think anyone finds nyleth hard bruh
never unfortunately
you would be..really surprised
getting a live run is so good
||To my knowledge Hitless LL is pretty RNG dependent||
some people didn't have the patience to just equip ascendant's grip
||Not really. I can get her consistently now||
why are we discussing silksong in hk-disc
|| Whatev she was the hardest out of the roaster for me. Karamel got down in like 4 tries ||
LL is more complex yes, she's my fav boss in the game and I still haven't mastered her yet like I did PV in HK
It really isn't
According to Unnamed that did both R5 and RS4, it is way easier to get consistent at RS4
All bosses, and especially that one
wait we can spoiler talk about silksong now?
Interesting
no
Idk ||lost lace seemed slightly simpler than karmelita to me...I don't think i could like ever hitless karmelita but LL realatively easy||
not really
awwww 
So that perspective is interesting.
the fight is surprisingly fair when you learn it
My basis comes from Hunt who was struggling to figure out a consistent method at the end of TE Hitless
I had alot of friends complain about her hitless while i did her in like 4 tries full fight and i have yet to do LL
||karmellita is like..really easy to hitless for me. I can do her hitless on accident because its like nkg to me. Be patient and its fine, but for LL you have to constantly respond, and her adaptability borders absolute radiance for me sometimes||
Iam just too good nobody can compare (lemme have this pls)
interesting.
No

i dont even know what the hit animation looks like
I definitely can not ddo them||karmelita|| hitless at all
Anything more than a single attempt is unacceptable
tbh I love LL more cz her fight isn't all memorization, you gotta focus no matter how good you are at the fight
Fine i will do act 2 hitless first try i GUESS
Act 3 afterwards or bust
@autumn ice Hi!!
are you online? Your perspective would be cool here
if you cant intuit a bosses move-set upon just glancing at it you arent cut out for these streets
Explodes
||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.||
NKG took me 40 minutes, PV took me 3 hours lol
yeah I am kinda just saying why "pv is easier cuz it took me less time" doesn't exactly work for this one situation
tho I would say PV gets easier when you master it
people find nkg hardder than pv?
I am just as surprised as you are but it is true
it is almost unanimous that pv is harder I think
how tho.. like NKG has less speedy pace to the fight
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
For experienced players yes
Because NKG is a joke with even just a bit of experience
But for newbies fighting both for the first time it's pretty divisive
NKG gets less enjoyable over time asw
yeah cuz of the learning curve which I did attempt to explain.
agreed. PV on the other hand gets more enjoyable
so does absrad imo
eh, I don't like pv
that's fine. For me he is the best in the game by a long shot
I will die on this hill it is just like nkg
absrad is too enjoyable to get more.
absrad is great
absrad is so fun
absrad ❤️
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
PV is literally the best boss team cherry ever made and I will die on this hill lol
I just realised PV fires swords whole HK fires infection balls
he gets more and more fun everytime somehow
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
i liked pv i found him easy to kill after killing him for the first time
I wish there was some dreamboss to Watcher Knights
yeah. when nkg ever manages to hit me, its more of a disappointment than a surprise like it is for pv
So with NKG you can do the exact same inputs every time
PV changed at least ever so slightly
i am so washed at this game holy
In my first run
I cheesed WK with Flukeworm spam
Absolutely
But in my 2nd run...i Beat watchers in 1st try
I want a dreamboss now :' (
i thought so
same i couldve sworn i was beating ts boss before now... im not..
I think that's the best thing a boss can do, being consistent once you learn em, I have done no damage on him god knows how many times
actually not that shocking. Pv is just too fast for thk to look okay anymore
Who's pv?
Pure vessel
Oh OK
Found in Pantheons
yeah that suffering is for later
i love fighting him, its kinda a relaxing fight, but i pogo him alot its the best way
Nah sure pv is harder than nkg
what 5 years of no hk does to a mf
go and finish your normal run first
yes he's like my comfort fight atp
when I feel sad I fight pv
nkg just kinda..becomes really boring
gl hb
actually too slow
Hollow Knight is pretty easy compared to Normal Grimm too for me
wouldn't say boring, but less enjoyable sure
pretty sure that's intended cuz hollow knight is not meant to be hard at all
you are more like putting down an injured animal than a genuine fight
Umm... I'll say they are on the same level...
I love how something is hard for one another n other is not for others
i hated nkg, the only boss that took me that long, i beat pv and absrad 3x faster then i beat him
I suck at Grimm
THK harder than PV tho
i was practicing nkg while i was practicing absrad
Those triple slashes are no joke 💀
I have Grimm and nkg radiant
nah what
Yk Cloth carried TL for me
genio your muscle memory is too fast
i hate him with a passion
Cloth actually gets stabbed while she hits the head of TL right?
ye she ded
I only have PV radiant, others I kinda didn't bother
Gud I didn't Dreamnail her
i am just redoing radiant hog on my steam save file
Who have also cloth in dirt mouth?
Dayum... I didn't even explore the Pantheons yet...
I really wanted to beat abs rad but my laptop ran into issues
That's sad
any tips for abs rad? the fight pisses me off kinda
idek what cloth means so ima stand in the background
Ddark and quick cast
anything specific?
but being specific would help
I kinda can't keep up with so much going on
listen more to her attacks
you mean quick focus?
try not to chase around the arena too much
no quick cast is a different button
F on keyboard. R1 for playstation and RB for xbox
depends, i found getting a bunch of ddark and slashes worked the most, but pogoing at the end is important too
oh I use it already tho
I'll try using d dark more then
huh. I guess then the only tip I can give is to be patient and take it one at a time for her attacks
dont prioritze damage, only do a few slashes at a time
but the platform phase js gets on my nerves
good, it helps alot with that fight, it has the highest damage as a spell i think
and pogo during orbs
for her sword walls I just dodge them as soon as I see em
that would be abyss shriek
same, hardest part for me
i sometimes use ddark just for iframes
sorry im a bit rusty and havent talked about ts in like 3 months
who doesn't?
so real
i havent in like 5
weird thing I don't think I really ever use abyss shriek in absrad anymore
yeah I try but ig I'm bad at fights like these where you gotta keep up with a lot
oh yeah for absrad hit her as much right at the start and instantly shriek
yelp my name
actually yes in phase 1-3
thats what i did
learn the attack pattern first, it will catch on eventually
phase 3 id say pogo
which phase is that again
also how do I deal with the orbs
that's the worst part
Abyss Shreik for dmg
DD for saving my ass from spikes and that fireball
That's how I survived Rad...
3rd phase is sword rain
pogo but not too much
the orbs sometimes track for too long
Do you mean phase 6+7?
just lure them into the ground in the ground one, and into other platforms in the platform phase
youll get used to it, its like fighting the mantis' at the begining of the game
True
🙁
tbh I never struggled with mantises much
not even sisters of battle
me neither i js couldnt find a better referance
"hit when you can, not when you whant"
whats with that face...
Same
can we all agree this is a fire fight
:(
idk why people have the obsession with mashing the attack button when they play hk for the first time
instead of just..seeing what the boss is doing
Phase 2, you camp in the lower platform, dodge
I think running ab has made me be more conservative with soul usage
good thing mantis lords teach you to do that
True
Unironically what we call final or phase 6 is actually phase 6+7
Spam shreik when she's near you
Because there is a phase 7
When she's one hit away from death and doesn't move in the middle
If fireballs, swords surround you
Use dd
Yeah. Andd i like to mention that whenever i can
Hello what is this about
ofc it is
absolute peak
It was about some consistency with SS bosses
Lol
i hated the fireball while pogoing at the end of the fight
i am starting to think for the first time you should actually just use descending dark everywhere instead of any abyss shrieks at all
Should i backread that or nah
Fireballs disappears on the top of screen
Yeah just do AbsRad like it's anyrad 
sisters of battle had the best flowstate feeling imo until silksong's first sinner dropped
yh so no, i do not remember ts
frfr
anybad
I mean if you want but it was a bit ago and it's a bit fragile you reply because you know, silksong in HK disc
attacking = fun
DD for spike removal n sometimes for escaping the knives or fireballs is what I prefer
I use DD when "ground visible"
DD don't hit Absrad except the vertical flame
Iam just not consistent at radabsrad
i am
ayyyy same
i love that fight so much idek wht
climb is way too hard
the climb became better when I thought of it as a metronome
climb is really funny in low gear challenges
believe it or not i did that too
I just suck at climb
Sure ill look at worst i get to laught at bad takes
Me too fr
markoth and absrad are like the only 2 bosses I can't get a radiant streak above 2
Btw how have you been 
and idrk why
literally my highest radabsrad streak is charmless because climb is the same there
and climb is the main issue
anyrad climb made me give up
Doing alright
Climb being my best phase. Its just like whats the problem. I am completely unable to give advice...
Been playing spire mostly
Do it baldurless. So much easier...
i found it kinda fun..
Literally me whenever anyone asks about silksong bosses
idek wtf that means
ur on ps how have u done anyrad bro
i have a pc
anyrad in general is just... not a good boss
no shit
Boring
did u do it baldurless
anyrad baldurless is anyrad without baldur's shell
patience.? idk
yea alright bruh
horrible straategy
Will y'all play Hollow Knight Pablo tho
will not work for anyrad.
"patience" ❤️🩹
Jimmy you know how anyrad's climb looks like right
really won't work for anyrad
dont remember
yea alr sure
Now what's anyrad
Any radiance
Basically absrad with bullshit
Oh... Right
We should send a clip and see if you can work out why patience doesn't work.
look, this was when i was not in a great place and i was doing alot of... substances, so i really dont remember shit
hm, sure?
ive got an excuse for self promo :D
lol
yea anyrad will do that
oh yh i think i remember ts
Cool 
I played two runs once, it was fun
never got far
yh, it did
had to get my blood drained a bit and new blood given
@frozen storm
oh god i just remembered how good that climb was... It could have been a clear...
@frozen storm
Hiiii!
great game
Gui sem nome criativo lmao
i played a 7 hour run like 2 days ago
No :(
that was something
chess is so fie
I was doing some Radiant AbsRad attempts, my new record is dying in the climb to the top
Bored
nice
is city of tears midgame?\
city of tears is good game
Has someone here beaten the pale shadow mod?
the only measurement that matters
I think this is the link #hk-discussion message
No it's not
cant argue witth that

The one who makes pure vessel teleport and stuff
Which one is pale shadow again, is that the parry based one before binf
Very oarry based
Ah well that I just copypasted my message lol
Ah yeah, @wind garnet help for pale shadow iirc
Radiant Pale Shadow modded boss
This took about 5:30 hours, quite bad but still easier than immortal light, albeit I'm much much better, because also easier than radiant Pale Prince.
Gonna do PoS and quit this boss, it's satisfying but annoying at the same time.
This run sucked, because of funky mechanics I got like 8 fast trips in a row and eve...
That one
Im tryna beat it rn
Uhhh, what is wrong with RAB PV for you
Ddark alot to speed it up
Uhh. I mainly get hit by messing up on the thrown spear things.
Why, when and where di you dash
Yato is here, I think he can help more than me even
But then i dont have ddark for the ground swords.
pv's attacks aren't too hard to dodge
I forgot that's a strat nvm
It's just too fast
But you kinda just have to get used to doing them Itemless
Try it out it's not that hard, you just need to see the lines coming and do a small jump to get to position
his staggers are too short too
Or you can dash ig
I dash when i think ive messed up on charge attacks or whenever i feel is right to go through the swords.
can't focus twice as I usually do
Most consistent is jumping to around pvs head height, you can also dash from the ground but in very rare positioning you can get hit from layered daggers
for me radiant pure vessel was about as hard as radiant markoth (if not a bit harder)
But thats really scary.
yes i know im the weird one
Yato doing pale shadow???
Yeah i wouldnt do itemless for AB, dashing is far far easier
okie... I think my height is right.
God no thats why I pinged you so you could help them 
No, yato is helping straw with Rab PV, pale Shadow is someone I didn't know that was asking about it
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
10 hours is not a lot
yea i lowballed honestly took me longer
but i also dont think it's like
ab rad collector
or anywhere close
Regarding when, it depends on positioning a lot so its hard to give you an exact tell, you mostly have to feel it out, but you generally want to time it so youre dashing through the sword should there be one on your height ofcourse, heres a clip for reference
I made and uploaded this 5 years ago
feeling old again
Does anyone have any tips for anyrad climb phase?
what charms?
Nice skin! 🤣

DID IT JUST FUCKING DO RUNE RAGE
Yes
Did you play silksong then hollow knight?
okie get staalwart shell
Fair icl
yes I did I'm fake
seriously. Its very important. Drop carefree or strength for it
but I might've enjoyed HK more than SK
What charm should i temove, strength or quickslash?
in my defense silksong doesn't have dlc yet
so I'll be waiting for that
do you not even consider caarefree an option
Literally drop anything for stalwart
even baldurs
first segment one hit taken so far from oro and mato
i need to find a strat for those guys
Like im very unexperienced with modded bosses, and carefree melody was my main carry when beating immortal light
well the meta build for anyrad is quickslash strength stalwart baldur and steaddy body.
and its that for good reason.
Ok, thanks
hi
you should be able to climb two platforms per hit you taake. Start flickering on platform 8 i think.
hiiiii
hai
I should get to bypass slowmode so i can spam people better...
Nice.
@worthy peak did u beat rad abs?
yes i have. if you are reffering to absrad.
radiant abs
though if its absolute gpz or something...
yeah. if thats raddabsrad and not some modded boss or something
yes you got any tips?
uhh. when a burst attack is used you can move to where is just struck to be safe for long enough to shriek.
honestly fury of the fallen would be so much better if it triggered at 1 and 2 hp
Though that timing is slightly tight.
i know how to that
the math doesn't lie
be more specific please? Im not good at tips...
Yes attuned pv is very squishy
i just said i know how to time it correctly
yeah lets remove the massive amount of risk for this charm.
Couldnt end up broken...
This is why ive always advocated for a modded PV to up the HP a bit and change the attack thresholds, but instead all we get is sekiro bosses and slop smh
yeah but you are asking for tips so i need more specific.
hah.
that is not a nice position to be in...
at least it doesn't end up barely being usable
its an early game charm what are you expecting.
imagine you were given unbreakable strength right off the start.
fragile strength is early man
You dont have to imagine shaman is sold by salubra lmao
yeah and like fury it has a large risk to using it.
and its broken and I hate it...
So i just forget about it...
dont make it worse?
That would be cool that would atleast remove the annoying ass setup every time
my only problem with fury of the fallen is with two damage bosses
Like its haard enough to useoverworld anyway. Now you are making it how i cant setup during the boss.
I guess it's not really a problem since you have an odd number of masks
fricking uumuu killed me
but bosses with 1 and 2 damage attacks tho
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
nvm
Yeah but like im willing to lose setup time to have safety travelling to bosses in overworld if im speedrunning.
Does ow even actually use fury i dont really know much about speedrunning ngl
uhh yes i think. but likethey have to use it like entire run to be optimal.
It only really gets worth in higher %/godhome cats i thought, so like 112% apb for e ample where its theoretically best
interesting
Then yeah i agree that would suck, but like, fuck ow who actually moves out of godhome anyway who cares iirc
Well, there was a cut "Zote" charm that set your health at one.
lemm was probably yapping for 10 minutes after that but the knight intentionally filtered it away
ok gang
Im here for my monthly check in, how've things been?
no idea i just got here
HK-Gen is still cancer
Ofc it is
Damn brain rot is gonna kill the human race
Yep, can confirm
sigh.
I suppose chap
pure easel
pv and absolute radiance left
holy shit hitless markoth and 1 hit zote back to back
Anyways hai Elizabeth!
🎨
literally hitless from uumuu to this point
Hey Xbudyidyid
Hruu?
wait pv is in p5???
second last boss
I'm alright
That’s goodd
nkg to pure vessel to absrad.
AH
nvm died to absrad
smh overcharmed is tough
this was the first time in a long time where i was nervous in p5 lol
The fire was because they posted something that was long enough for them to get get a time out for spamming ^_^
Sorry for the late response... -_-
2nd r04 markoth AND recorded 
holy W mobile player
Holy L Li player
mhm
Shut up nine slops enjoyer
There is hk on mobile???
pure vessel is easy ngl
Yeah... Really easy
pUrE vEsSeL iS eAsY nGl SHUT UP
???
Piracy
IM TRYING
i have him rad
I BEAT HIM ONCE
Hello
absrad not that bad either
NOW IM TRYING TO DO P4
..and I beat him at the Tom of p4 with old nail
I need that last %
I did it todayyyy 🫡
People can struggle on certain bosses that's fine
Like r04 markoth is supposed to be third or fourth hardest r04 and he only took me like an hour
What is "r04"?
Doesn't mean markoth is easy for everyone though
Radiant old nail white spells all bindings
It's not fine to struggle on any boss 😠
markoth i have even radianted yet
shut up 112% p5ab hitless enjoyer
havent*
?? Nah really??
I recorded it the fight is like- gui fuck off
i've never played hollow knight
that's probably the only challenge I can think of which just sounds like self torture
Lies
So why are you here? 🤣🤣
Surely not
ever heard of radiant itemless
we all do
so let me have my ignorance
Idk
its not horrid
go and beat anyrad 3.0
be one of the first victors or smth
I've beaten that 900 times blindfolded hitless without arms
I know you are a prodigy, but no need to invalidate others struggles dude
To my friend @thexlhis .
Bro is never stopping
there is no reason to do that
Go ahead prove it
?
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
I thought absrad hitless was impossible without an item
Literally impossible to radiant itemless btw
cuz no shade cloak
I thought you had to have something
like its actually impossible
well yh shade cloak but anything else
then its not itemless
I beat p3
You also need either mantis claw or double jump
And got to pure vessal on my second try
ofc you need shade cloak, itemless refers to a catogory of playing with the bare nescessity
congrats! Now beat p4 :3
dear god
i liked p4, bc pv is fun
I need some help though.
not really mantis claw
In hk itemless fr means itemless
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
Itemless is
No shade cloak
No mantis claw
No isma's tear
No monarch wings
No crystal dash
No mothwing cloak
No charms
No upgrades
No spells
5 masks
I'm having trouble with Pure Vessal. I've been dodging some if not most of his attacks.
Absrad is like top 3 hardest itemless bosses
But I don't know why I can't dodge his teleport into dive.
then why is their a official speedrun list called "absrad no hit itemless" it just means you get the bare minimum, do the research
pogo. thats all i do to him, pogo
I've been dodging him by jumping a lot, is that good or bad.
if you pogo
Iam starting to think you are still on whatever "substances" you used to take.
Yeah that's what I've been doing.
kinda js not heroin
The term itemless was literally birthed in this discord server in this channel was are we even saying
I also keep accidentally dodging away from him instead of through him.
you gotta just suck that up and fix that my guy
We know what the term means we literally made it lmao
also when he dashes at you shade cloak behind him and js hit him
True
I've been jumping over him and pogoing him then stabbing him in the back.
i liked traitor lord after getting him
No
no
yh js get really, really constistant and do the boss alot and youll get it
I don't think even itemless base radiance is possible
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
Theres a guaranteed shockwave at a certain hp threshold or smth
let alone absrad
Thanks
Most bosses, especially traitor lord. Will always do a different attack after they do the same attack twice in a row
i thought it was, i dont use anything but pogo when i fight him
i am starting to doubt if you really did all bindings-
Hi hk chat
ofc, you sound like youll get it in barely even a few days, maybe tdy if you have the time
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
Iam starting to doubt this guy played holowite
I'm a god at hk I've done p1ab >:)
i am too..
or even did p5 at all
lol
he's a god of the little people
let alone beat it twice
i know for sure i did p5
Omg I am short for a guy so it's true
I wanna be god of the little people
the light wall.
Actually can you airwalk itemless i have no idea but surely
it will appear
What even is airwalk
She's impossible to do itemless in general
So it switches to minimum items halfway through the fight
btw am I correct to assume that p5 3 bindings(no charm binding) is easier than p4 all bindings?
literally just cuz shaman stone
I mean. What charms would you be using?
probably a full on spell build
ehhh probably wouldn't work
found it
spells don't do any damage though
Maybe if spells at least did 3 damage it'd be worth
No matter how much soul gain you have you are still capped to 1 cast
that doesn't change much when spells are like ballistic missiles
i was gonna say strength quickslash shamman heart but quickslash is literally unplayable without sbody
one or a hundred, its still a ballistic missile
Yes bc p5 is longer (opinionated response not factual)
You have to remember you have shell binding on
I said p5 is EASIER not harder
and spells are really just superior over weaker nail upgrades
Triple fireball hits everytime
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...
shaman stone, quick slash, soul eater, and last slot can go to dream wielder
Hi gui ^_^
Also i just found an itemless absrad TAS you can indeed airwalk without items
or shaman stone quick slash, spell twister
that's 8 notches, and idk what to place in the last 3
is that humanly possible?
No
Heart and s body
thought so
helly no
the knockback is now forward
"and then he pressed JUMP"
i love steady body
Specifically this channel
@compact wasp check dms
What is the servers attitude?
I mean technically all you need to do is press jump frame perfect like 15 times in a row right, teano get on it
hi
Hi nondescript person ^_^
I spent 3 hours doing nothing but trying to beat p4
ive legit spent the last 20 minutes reading through previous messages
God you sound like levi
I am so fucking tired
hi
: |

Hi leonhk ^_^
How hard can it be leon come on now
and the moment i reach the bottom the topic fucking changes
Soul eater is really unnecessary considering the fact you have quickslash on.
And you'd probably still dreamnail bosses exclusively during their staggers anyway
Iam thinking shamman quickslash heart strength (i hate grubsnog)
and we got mfers saying sum shit like
Same-ish but it took me way less time ^_^
oh all bindings p5 is boring
let's make it radiant difficulty too
oh and with old nail and
wait i forgot about heart fuck
and white spells

It's so bad it makes you not move when you should move ^_^
as much as i hate non steady quickslash this is probably the best
just rabo
radiant all bindings only
only
only ___________
wayward compass is the worst charm, doesn't do shit
Thank you for saying this
there is nothing there
Do you mean r504?
Gathering swarm
yo wsg leon
Hi coolest Connor ^_^
rabcho
Hihi
Can you mod hollow knight on PlayStation
Technically but man you don't wanna
ye my head is just slow rn cuz its 1:20 am
radiant all bindings crystal heart only
yes, do not do it
I don't even know if it's doable on ps5 but ps3 and ps4 have dedicated modding communities
do not do that.
All charms doesn't do anything when you are doing a charmless run ^_^
modding your ps js aint worth it
Plus it's the ONLY WAY to randomize bloodbnre
I want to try p5 all bindings but the knight feels so bad to play without charms
fat fraud charge ontop of all of that
it actually just feels boring
is there a mod that ports hollow knight to the Wii U as originally intended
anything is possible tbh
should i finish my save, i only got 110 on here
Are itemless runs just no upgrades like dash and claw
And does it apply to spells
it applys to everything
Itemless is straight up king's pass gear
idek
no nail arts, no charms, no spells, no nail upgrades, no movement abilities
Thats horrible
How do u even make urself itemless
no simple keys
can you even beat the game
debug mod
How do you even get to greenpath??
explore
those people need to be thrown into some sort of hospital dude
Show inv
okay seriously do yall think traitor lord itemless is possible?
unironically just why?
mm yes I will kill baldur with my willpower!
No I'm asking for the itemless run omfg
oh my
I have 112%
why not.
ibaldur
wait wait
itemless baldur is possible now
just like look it up or smth
because the wave attack is scripted
baldur is defending the gate to green path... it's...
What about r5iab if thats how u say it
it's baldur's gate....
oh yh i forgor about that
radiant pantheon 5 all bindings?
no, not possible
ye that is fine cuz atleast those guys have their spells
honestly idk why would someone do that either
O
I did it with no arms
???
might as well contract cerebral palsy too to go even beyond itemless atp
Rlly
Ppl are willing to do anything now so suprising
I mean technically traitor lord is possible itemless
you just gotta pray for mercy and kill it asap
i saw connor beat p5 itemless with his left thumb toe
ir5ab
Cant u just jump instead of shade cloak
W Jimmy
nvm you're probably gonna die cuz 3 hits
its a full on vertical wall
wrong reply!
Pogo?
its a wall.
ik
oh i had a save that i got really far on that i only played with my non dominant hand
Oh I meant the traitor lord I didnt think the path to it mattered
Ohh
i mean the fight too
Forgot abt that move
ye that needs shade cloak
oh my god bruh awh hell nah
itemless
wait so why traitor lord itemless not possible im slow
Shockwave.
yeah I don't think that's enough
also it's gonna be extremely hard to dodge anything WITHOUT MOTHWING CLOAK
yh you cant without getting hit
Not like, impossible impossible, but quite rng
Unless there is some Insta kill glitch...
its gonna be hard to move
hmm, i disagree
itemless
Yep ^_^
what glitch would be even possible?
itemless isn't real
Still possible tho right
its.. on offline... nvm
I have no idea ^_^
lowk they should've added a fifth movement binding
can somenoe throw on a calculator and just divide to see the number of nail hits it would take?
that would be so funny
i will
i got you
ye 160 hits
Ok yea it can be kinda consistent
But takes quite the commitment
https://youtu.be/sIi3AOtpovk?si=kMeOqQmdAxQJcrc1
Still have to practice him before starting itemless P4 attempts cuz he's still RNG dependent to me.
Funnier than itemless Flukemarm lol.
160 hits and you can be hit only twice
Would ab even be possible
and the shockwave does double damage
ab?
260
All bindings
1300 divided by 5 i think
You can intentionally get 1 mask from contact instead
everything is possible except absrad
Again tho, annoying as shit
