[knotty ravine]

we’re not saying this

[warm aurora]

I had 1 hp at the end

[tropic nest]

ggs

[warm aurora]

Thanks for all the absrad tips

My final strategy was longnail mop

Which I hadnt heared anyone about

Except gr kinda who recommended me to try mop instead of shaman

[copper glacier]

[earnest orchid]

why beating a boss first time and second time is completely different?

[flat vigil]

What is mop

[warm aurora]

Mark of pride

[worthy peak]

Congrats!!!

[light stirrup]

like when there are 4 rows of diagonal daggers while you also have to pogo off spikes is soo annoying

[copper glacier]

mark of pride

[warm aurora]

Ty

[flat vigil]

Thank

[agile pewter]

yeaa same
from my experience with the other any% custom map, doing the whole thing for yt might not be worth it...

[umbral night]

Congrats
Told you (sometime) that you got it🔥

[bitter jolt]

[bitter jolt]

[knotty ravine]

Hkleo g40cm when

[shrewd nymph]

ggs

[toxic basin]

I was gonna beat p5 before I play skong...I didn't

:((((((

[umbral night]

It's ok
You'll do it sometime

[wary hound]

i think i should probably go sleep

[warm aurora]

P5 is a lot harder

[umbral night]

Than entire sk?

I maybe shouldnt buy

[shrewd nymph]

Theres nothing in sk harder than p5

[toxic basin]

also I think I never completed the mr mushroom quest in hk

[wary hound]

alright gn guys

[toxic basin]

which is why I have 2 hidden achievements not done y'hear

[warm aurora]

Yes
I got my last ss achievement 2 days ago

[umbral night]

Cool

[light stirrup]

another good attempt

[umbral night]

I see

[warm aurora]

Which boss is it?

[umbral night]

Immortal light
Iirc from earlier convos

[warm aurora]

I have heared about it

[umbral night]

I haven't tbh
I only heard any rad

I'll look it up

[foggy sable]

anybad

[warm aurora]

I have heared of a few

[light stirrup]

what

[warm aurora]

But I cant play them so they all feel similair

I just know they are all harder as absrad and 3.0>2.0>1.0

[foggy sable]

anybad

[light stirrup]

ok

[prisma cradle]

Guys how do I get to the secret tran station at howling cliffs

Hidden station

[dry creek]

yah

[knotty ravine]

anybad

[warm aurora]

It took me from september 5th (2025) to april 23rd
To go from first learning about silksong (and not having done hk)
To all achievements in both

[hybrid fern]

i should play hollow knight then silksong right? or does it not matter that much

[warm aurora]

Doesnt matter

Most say hk first
I did silksong first

Both are fine

Hk is a bit easier

[hybrid fern]

what about the lore stuff

[dusky coral]

hk

[warm aurora]

Boths lore is independent enough

[empty lynx]

Ouuuuuuugh long

[warm aurora]

Still with a lot of overlap but you dont need to know any lore to play any of the 2

[edgy kraken]

its on mobile too wha

[dusky coral]

that's a pirated version

Official mobile looks like this

[hybrid fern]

aight ty

i think ill do hk first

[edgy kraken]

orz

im playing hk too

[bitter jolt]

surely its customizable right

[wary heron]

hi

[edgy kraken]

just dont give up

even if u die gazillion times

[umbral night]

Same question

[hybrid fern]

i just finished celeste my 2nd time and so i think it's time to attempt hollow knight, similar but distinct enough

[wary heron]

hiiii

[hybrid fern]

ill get ragebaited by dying but eventually do it

[wary heron]

hiiiiiiiiii

[umbral night]

Hi

[bitter jolt]

"i can die hundreds, thousands, millions of times, but the boss only needs to die once"

[wary heron]

hi

[hybrid fern]

haiiiii

[copper glacier]

[hybrid fern]

im saving that omg

[edgy kraken]

hollow knight is the first indie game I've gotten into

[wary heron]

[edgy kraken]

[hybrid fern]

[umbral night]

I destroyed the 3 dreamers and killed the hollow knight, so basic ending i guess

[empty lynx]

Until you realize that counts as spam

[prisma cradle]

Ok I got it now thanks for help😁

[keen thorn]

Omg it's c++

[empty lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/indie-cross-madeline-celeste-hollow-knight-dance-gif-11744742633352767020

[umbral night]

Hi and ih count as spam or no?

[warm aurora]

Thats only a good thing because
If you dont want more you can stop with a concluded story, and if you want more, the game has soo much to do still

[umbral night]

Just curious

[tired dragon]

I'm good for now tbh, i explored a bunch in the game and im satisfied so im moving onto silksong now

[empty lynx]

I mean if you are saying hi to each person asking about them it's alright

[keen thorn]

Like this

[empty lynx]

There's like one guy in hk general which says hi to everyone and their moms

[keen thorn]

Hi @empty lynx

Hi @warm aurora

[umbral night]

Lmao

[keen thorn]

Hi @umbral night

[empty lynx]

@keen thorn

[umbral night]

[foggy sable]

hii genio

[empty lynx]

There's a series of indie characters on an adventure together and stuff it's called indie cross

[umbral night]

I saw that on yt
So fluid

Loved it

[empty lynx]

I can't believe grimmchild is genuinely like 25% of my damage

[hybrid fern]

WHAT

how come i never knew what. i've always played indie games my entire life

[keen thorn]

Skill issue

Wait Carl bot help? 😭
I don't think I'd ever found someone else in Carl bot help

[hybrid fern]

indeed a very sad one

[hybrid fern]

i somehow accidentally got mod in alot of servers and so i used carl bot for everything, was easier

and now i have a life except when im playing games

[copper glacier]

and knight solos everyone (or it should)

[keen thorn]

I was never mod anywhere idk why I'm there

[hybrid fern]

happens

[wispy willow]

@naive dew

[primal ridge]

Hello guys.

[wispy willow]

thats what im saying

[karmic niche]

i opened a new godhome mode save

but why tf does it still have zote in p3

that means it has zote in p5 toooooooooo

[brave kite]

he's different

[zealous skiff]

im asleep smh

[naive dew]

ok buddy

[zealous skiff]

my dreams are so cool rn because im asleep and shit

[naive dew]

mhm

[dry creek]

i might still be sick god damnit

[prisma cradle]

Guys what is the cost of giving and getting back the fragile geo charm from divine?

[umbral night]

36k for three

[wispy willow]

cause default is all bosses are present, like nkg as well

[prisma cradle]

36k for only the geo one????

[wispy willow]

no

[umbral night]

?

I didn't understand

[prisma cradle]

I meant only the one that gicves more geo

[wispy willow]

i think its 7k

[prisma cradle]

Alr thanks

[wispy willow]

its 9k

[prisma cradle]

Oh ok thx

[wispy willow]

12k for heart and 15k for strength

[umbral night]

9,12,15 = 36

[meager epoch]

Hi, I'm currently trying out NKG, which charms should I use?

[zinc delta]

hello everynyan

how we doing

[karmic niche]

how tf do i get rid of zote then

all my p5 attempts died on zote

[naive dew]

start a new save

[karmic niche]

only once i passed zote and failed champion glitched into the wall

a new normal save?

[zinc delta]

how DARE you hate zote

[karmic niche]

I FUCKING HATE HIM

[wispy willow]

Make a new save on steel soul or normal

[naive dew]

idk zote is pretty fire

im fighting him rn actually

[umbral night]

I recently cleared him charmless so I don't know much about that but
I'd recommend
Quickslash, shaman, strength
Something like that to end the fight quick

Cuz i felt that he does have quite a bit

Of hp

[warm aurora]

I hate Zote but his fight is very fun

[autumn dawn]

rare sighting of someone else who actually enjoys fighting gpz 😄

[warm aurora]

fiablo23 (he isnt online)

Wont ping him

But he fights Zote a lot

I know he was tryint a 57 radiant streak

[autumn dawn]

thats wild 😭

57 radient like in a row without fail?

if so thats really impressive i dont think i could radient many bosses 57 times in a row without dying once

maybe like elderhu or some easy bs like that

but def not gpz

[strange viper]

Guys what makes NKG harder than TMG (besides double damage)

[autumn dawn]

the initial supprize of speed differance and slightly altered attacks to make them a little more difficult to dodge

after you get his patterns down though he is arguably just as easy

[tropic nest]

hitless to hornet sentinel with fury

[foggy sable]

oooh gg

[strange viper]

Huh I wish rad had the same patterns

Can’t even beat normal rad

[autumn dawn]

W

[autumn dawn]

as in radiance or radiant troup master grimm?

im a little confused as you mentioned grimm above lol

[strange viper]

No radiance

[quartz cave]

no

[naive dew]

@quartz cave

[vestal sky]

maybe

[warm aurora]

Very nice

[umbral night]

I did not do colo 3 yet
I was trying out p3 on charms bindings and saw beast tamer lol
Died to him

[warm aurora]

You can practice him now tho

Doing p3 before c3 and dying to godtamer is canon

[umbral night]

Lol

True

[warm aurora]

And then learning he aint that bad

Ddark spam

[strange viper]

Any tips to bead normal rad for the first time?

[umbral night]

Cool

[warm aurora]

Shrieks and shaman stone

And twister

Dont spend soul to heal after the hollow knight

You get full hp anyways

[strange viper]

What about for dodging attacks before phase 4

Cuz that’s when you spam shriek to speed up the phase

[warm aurora]

I use shriek in phase 2 too

Otherwise ddark spikes

[tropic nest]

4 (hornet sentinel, white defender, zote, pv)
not a pb unfortunately but best run in a long while

[foggy sable]

yayy very nice

[warm aurora]

Idk a lot of normal rads versions of attacks anymore tbh

[agile pewter]

[frozen hull]

Grey can you make me toast

[wispy willow]

[wispy willow]

skill issue

[frozen hull]

I'm cold

[foggy sable]

I don't think toast can fix that

[wispy willow]

fury is lowk cheating

still fucking impresive

like i could never

so my opinon is invalid

[agile pewter]

:ponderrrrrr:

[wispy willow]

but oh well this is the internet

[wispy willow]

50 days left

[wispy willow]

[flat vigil]

Guyyyyysssssss I just beated all hog in ascendeddddd (except radiance)

[wispy willow]

is there someone who is an expert in sql databases?

[flat vigil]

Thannnnkkk

[dusky coral]

Uhh not an expert but I know a fair bit about them

What do you need help with?

[wispy willow]

i need a trigger for if someone tries to add an product to the database it gets added to all the stores with no stock for that product but the syntax is ccoked

this is for T-SQL btw

[twin stump]

Since I'm working on trying to beat the pantheons, should I try to beat radiant most if not all bosses?

[naive dew]

WHY

[warm aurora]

I got 43 radiant before p5

Ascendeds atleast are worth it imo

Tho ones like markoth and no eyes really only matter for p5

But it also just depends on if you feel like it

[warm aurora]

I said imo tho

[twin stump]

Alright

[young gate]

dream warriors shouldve been optional

[light stirrup]

I got all radiants after p5, since I was trying to beat every challenge hk has to offer (that were intended by devs, like golden gpz statue in dirtmouth)

[twin stump]

Why

[young gate]

theyre all buns

they all jus spam shi

[light stirrup]

yeah that's quite it

[young gate]

xero markoth and gorb is especially the problem

[twin stump]

I mean yeah but what other bosses would do that

It's not the problem, your fighting them wrong

[young gate]

they are also so boring

[twin stump]

It's literally about dodging

[magic storm]

Because having multiple scales is confusing

[quartz cave]

i dont think so,

[noble fjord]

People. When you guys go to play another game, you press the keys that are the hk controls instead of the right ones? XD

I'm suffering with Celeste because of that. My muscular memory is on another place

[tropic nest]

Use the same controls

[vernal knot]

Hello every

[noble fjord]

Tried. But I'm having problems with the climb key XD

Good you

[ebon depot]

What the helly they removed :knightno:

[magic storm]

How dare you

[empty lynx]

Noob disappeard Lmao

hiiiiiii

[ebon depot]

I wanted to but i didnt like WoR like, at all on my reread and it kinda took me out of the mood

[magic storm]

I know I sent a modmail about it and made an admin ticket but they refused to readd it

There used to be

[ebon depot]

Ive also just been in a crazy reading slump so 1k page books are kinda a no no rn

[ebon depot]

Yea

[magic storm]

@dim lance since you refused to add knightno you need to show him it since I don’t have access to it anymore

No the current knightyes is different than the old one

[magic storm]

What about wheel of time there’s no 1000 page books in that

[ebon depot]

[magic storm]

Have you read mistborn btw

[ebon depot]

Im busy reading 2500 page documentation ive got no time smh

Era 1 yes, era 2 not yet

[vestal sky]

ok 👍

[magic storm]

Did you see they’re making a show

[agile pewter]

Wtf

[naive dew]

not for everyone else dawg

[magic storm]

Brandon is writing for it so it should be decent at least

[magic storm]

No one is more important than me iirc

[worthy peak]

cyclone is suprisingly bad against vfks minions but suprisingly good against vfk themselves

New knowledge :D

[ebon depot]

i dont know what to think about it tho ngl, brandon is writing it so ive got hopes but movies and shows about books are always a tricky thing

[magic storm]

What scares me is stormlight being movies

Those books are way too long to be compressed into a movie

[ebon depot]

uefi specs my beloved

[magic storm]

You’re like actually reading the whole thing?

[worthy peak]

Hiiii!

[ebon depot]

yeah 100%

[worthy peak]

im good

wbu?

[ebon depot]

nah lol im just jumping around in it for what I need

[magic storm]

Ok good I was scared

[ebon depot]

i just need a relatively small subsection for bootloading efistubs, keyboard inputs and writing to the framebuffer

[magic storm]

What are you working on

[ebon depot]

something silly, basically a uefi bootloader that loads a custom efi doom-port, and when you win it boots you into linux, if you lose you boot into windows

im skipping most of the actually complicated bootloading and just giving control to the linux efistub or the windows bootloader so i dont have to have the headache of building the full registries and whatever to boot the kernel directly

[glossy mango]

sigh

p5 isn't that hard it's just

exhausting

very very exhausting

[ebon depot]

mostly because im too lazy to write any actual NASM lmao

[glossy mango]

actually it is very hard

dude anyone else NKG harder than PV

[copper spruce]

too much minecraft today
It's 2am

[umbral night]

Coders are built different
I didn't get a thing

[magic storm]

Fun

[copper spruce]

Coders have two avenues in life

[empty lynx]

no bro, no bro.

[ebon depot]

basically, if we skip over the technicalities, what its supposed to do is, you turn on your PC, your PC "boots" directly into doom, if you win in doom, you get booted into linux, if you lose, you get booted into windows

[glossy mango]

how

Whenever I fought PV I figured good ways to dodge it's attacks and slowly get further and further

I don't even feel that with nkg I keep just swinging hoping Im not too late to hit him

[umbral night]

Oh
Got it
Thanks

[empty lynx]

Nkg feels pretty slow to me

[glossy mango]

nKg FeElS pReT- AAAAGHHHH

sorry, I have a skill issue

[umbral night]

When i reach pv I'll let you know if he's faster
But I'd say he is based on videos I've seen

[empty lynx]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFHnbozz7b4 ive got the idea from here( really cool and good video/channel for low-level stuff btw ), just that hes writing it in assembly directly, im writing it in rust( and im skipping most of the game dev since i can steal most of the heavy-lifting doom porting from doom-generic )

I did also think about writing my own game like he does but i dont really have any good ideas for it ngl

coding has killed chat again smh

[tender jetty]

whats the best strategy to beat the traitor lord

rn i am doing nail spam charms

and basically hugging him

[kind rune]

You can shade dash every attack he has except saws

In betweb each dash is a consistent way to get 2-3 hits

[molten yoke]

Stand in front of him. If he dashes at you, shade day through him. If he jumps into the air, walk a bit forwards and you won’t get hit. If he does the shockwave, dash through it

[kind rune]

Yeah lowkey him walking forward slightly is the hardest attack to dodge lol

[umbral night]

The worst thing he does imo is walk forward and hit you

[tender jetty]

hes annoying because he deals 2 hearts of damage its annoying ive been trying to beat him for a few days now

[molten yoke]

Fair enough. What charms are you using?

[tender jetty]

||quick slash, mark of pride, soul catccher, dashmaster|| its probably not the best but im experiementing with different strategies

[upper remnant]

send charms

[worthy peak]

after one of the special attacks. until he walks forward again stay away.

[molten yoke]

Don’t worry abt soul catcher that much for this fight

[tender jetty]

okey

[worthy peak]

he doesnt walk forward if you are right in front of him unless he has what i call walk storage (stolen from a youtube video)

[molten yoke]

Yh that’s why my strategy is to js always be right in front of him lol

[worthy peak]

I think the charge also dispells walk storage but i cant remember

[naive dew]

In Japan, Tomodachi Life Living the Dream sold over half a million PHYSICAL copies on its very FIRST DAY alone. If digital sales were included, it would have already sold over a million copies

[tender jetty]

what is the best way to beat the hive knight

i've been stuck on traitor lord, collector and hive knight the past few days and its making me want to just end the game right now but i only have 75% completion :(

[umbral night]

Nail fireball spam is what i do

To hive knight

[tight mesa]

It's a little low tbh

[fresh isle]

im so sick of troubleshooting this 😭

[fresh isle]

im 99% sure its a hardware issue

[royal harness]

i dont think so. Try alt F4 that always worked for me

[cerulean summit]

i remember in my first few attempts of TMG i attacked immediately not letting him finish the bow because i didn't know that was an option

[foggy sable]

if you move to iceland it might be okay

[fresh isle]

i repasted it and then it was fine for like 2 days and now its not

[tight mesa]

No, you should probably go colder
I hear Antarctica is nice this time of year

[fresh isle]

i hate having a laptop

[umbral night]

What about memory?

[fresh isle]

68%

[tight mesa]

What kind of laptop

[raw sonnet]

dang i'm so ahh against rad traitor lord now

[fresh isle]

i dont really see how memory matters though this is my cpu temp

[fresh isle]

lenovo legion 15ach6

[umbral night]

Oh
I don't really know
I only know that keeping too many apps open is bad
And I'm running the game on intel i3 laptop

[tight mesa]

I'm going to assume this is a gaming laptop

[fresh isle]

its a hardware issue

[fresh isle]

yea

[fresh isle]

it has a cool exterior so its probably just airflow / thermal paste issues but i have NO idea whats causing it

[tribal compass]

Did you try reverting to beta version

[tight mesa]

You just reapplied the thermal paste a couple days ago right

[tribal compass]

I mean the one before mb

[tribal compass]

the version before beta

[fresh isle]

yea

well its not thermal paste its PTM7950 but idk if that matters

[tight mesa]

Could be something out of place in there blocking airflow

[fresh isle]

chat im not running a game im running:
browser
discord

HW monitor

task manager

[fresh isle]

if there is i dont see it

[tight mesa]

What the fuck

Okay then probably not

Was it fine before reapplying the thermal paste‽

[fresh isle]

no

i dont know how i couldve screwed it up though

[ebon depot]

should have written this entirely into the MBR

[fresh isle]

there is also some air coming out but its not that hot

[royal harness]

ok

[flat vigil]

I did it guys! Anyrad ascended!!!!

[fresh isle]

gg anyrad ascended

[royal harness]

Damn. Isn't anyrad impossible on radient?

[ebon depot]

Could have gotten a bit rough-game wise considering you get a whopping 512 bytes but he'll figure it out

[flat vigil]

Actually... Yes 😅

[royal harness]

oh...

just use invincibillity

and grimmchild. He WILL save the run

[weary sandal]

how many supermario 64s can you fit in hollow knight

[empty lynx]

he won't btw

[flat vigil]

Nah just joking

[empty lynx]

Isn't the main strat for radiant anyrad is to have carefree melody

[flat vigil]

Sure

[digital grove]

pale court tiso is apparently parryable

while dryya cant be parried outside of the dagger attack

[royal harness]

TISOS IN PALE COURT? 😄

[digital grove]

thats hilarious

[royal harness]

I ❤️ tiso

[flat vigil]

No...

[fresh isle]

main strat for radiant anyrad is carefree melody + get lucky on climb

[flat vigil]

Me too ❤️

[fresh isle]

i think ur confusing anyrad with absolute radiance mayb

[flat vigil]

F*ck mawlek

[weary sandal]

you can fit about 945 sm64s in hollow knight

[royal harness]

make anyrad as trifficult as possible

[flat vigil]

True my bad 😅

[royal harness]

guys what do you think the best hollow knight skin is? I like mould and grimm knight.

[flat vigil]

Idk I play swith

[royal harness]

same but i've seen videos

[umbral night]

I saw skurry use a mantis skin
That was great

[flat vigil]

See y'a guys time for me to gooo

[flat vigil]

Oh OK

[royal harness]

i dont really like the mantis skin honestly

baby mantis i mean

[umbral night]

Mhm

[royal harness]

?

[umbral night]

Preferences vary

[royal harness]

i see

[umbral night]

It's ok

[royal harness]

but mould is so cute. Its even got a grimmchild skin and little expressions sometimes like entering the beasts den.

[umbral night]

I'd comment but I've not seen that skin

[royal harness]

I mean og is good but like different skins are cool

[umbral night]

Cool

I'd really like to get faster at walljumps cuz i suck
But I can't really get a hang of the timing lmao

I do full jumps which is slower

[worthy peak]

ok im going to stop fishing for cyclone :(

[royal harness]

sometimes i like to play around with sprites, like put elderbug in a different place. I do it on canva strangely enough.

[worthy peak]

r04 vfk

[royal harness]

?

[royal harness]

whats that

[strong blade]

I fucking hate you GPZ i cant pass p3 because im stuck on zote bro

[worthy peak]

cyclone does have times where its better than the other nail arts but its a lot harder to use

No.

[strong blade]

Worst telegraphed boss in the game

[worthy peak]

radiant old nail white spells all bindings vengefly king

[royal harness]

wait who is the worst?

[strong blade]

can someone tell me how to dodge his zotlings attack that explode and do x2 dmg

[royal harness]

damn

[umbral night]

r04 means you can use spells or no?

[worthy peak]

can use spells

[umbral night]

Oh

[worthy peak]

rabono would be the spellless version

[umbral night]

Cool

[royal harness]

that sounds mighty difficulty

[strong blade]

chat i need p3 and p4 for 112% but im stuck on gpz can someone give me tips how to dodge his exploding zotlings attack

[umbral night]

Iirc you can push them further away before the bomb timer ends with nail

[strong blade]

like? dd doesnt hit them

[strong blade]

rlly?

[umbral night]

Oh

[strong blade]

ill try that

alright

I genuinely think GPZ is worse for me than NKG

His attacks telegraph suck

ah

nvm then

[umbral night]

I played with nail under levelled cuz i didn't have geo and pale ores

Gui just might be right

[strong blade]

💔

[strong blade]

i got pure nail

[umbral night]

That's cool

[strong blade]

also i always use unbreakable strength and quickslash so yeah its def gonna 1 shot them

[digital grove]

anyone know if these enemies in specific are parryable

[foggy sable]

ew

[digital grove]

ty goat

[umbral night]

First time even looking at the names ngl

[fresh isle]

last 3

and husk warrior yea

[digital grove]

kewl stuff ty guys

[royal harness]

somebody should make a uumuu inspired hollow knight skin. Making the knight look like one of the jellyfishes

[umbral night]

Wait
These are all names from the base game?

[fresh isle]

yea

[umbral night]

I couldn't recognise even one😂😂😂

Hunter's journal needs work i guess

[strong blade]

😭

[royal harness]

I just drew concept art. Based it off of one of the jellyfishes. The big ones.

how do i add images too also

[wind canyon]

copy it n cntrol v

[royal harness]

ok

thx

[wind canyon]

btw what charms should i use for an arena

[royal harness]

which arena

[wind canyon]

queens garden

[umbral night]

Qg

Is the most difficult one

[wind canyon]

the 1 with the standing mantis flying mantis and spiky bush

[royal harness]

compass, steady body dream shield, defenders crest and long nail

its so good trust

[umbral night]

Trust

[warm isle]

Ah yes

The best charm combo

[royal harness]

ik right?

Especially for radiant bosses

[warm isle]

Yaaaaa

[royal harness]

Just kidding, the BEST combo is heavy blow. No need to explain further. Its the best charm trust

[warm isle]

Oh ya

Especially against the radiance

It helps so much

[umbral night]

True

[warm isle]

It's 100% not just a waste of 2 charm notches

[royal harness]

ik right?

Ok but jokes aside, when i first got it, i actually thought it was good. Its only use is for those infected winged guys in crossroads.

Other than that, nobody loves it. F*ck heavy blow.

[umbral night]

Everybody hated glowing womb till the new any% route
Now they hate it more

[royal harness]

ik right?

[umbral night]

Lol

Js so everyone knows what I'm talking about
This is a TAS made by a content creator Xavier (i think)
https://youtu.be/jgiaEirD0t8?si=sIlumsmYcSiRi3h3

[foggy sable]

when someone starts running it I'll change my mind

[umbral night]

Imho, it does not look faster when done by anything except tas
Because there would be some rng manip and precise positioning done and I don't think humans are capable of that

Though the skip itself was done, probably after a lot of effort

[worthy peak]

why do you need rng manipulation.

Can't you just wcs now even with bad rng

also this took far far longer than expected

[flat vigil]

Ggs bro 💪

[umbral night]

Oh thanks
I forgot about wcs since it was a week ago

My brain doesn't work sometimes

[flat vigil]

It's you clip?????

[umbral night]

Noo

Sorry if it came off that way

[flat vigil]

Nah I'm just maybe dumb nw

[umbral night]

It's a TAS made by someone else

[flat vigil]

Ohhhh it's a tassss

OK

[rotund geyser]

riddle me this is hiveblood genuinely good for pantheons

[royal harness]

Guys, do you think the dreamers were ever babys?

[rotund geyser]

what even changed? I knew there were new patches but what specifically happened for this

[umbral night]

Someone discovered this was possible to do and that it was 40 seconds faster than the current route iirc from a week ago

[royal harness]

Hornet was a baby, the knight probably was a baby, so were the dreamers babys? The pale king couldn't be a baby cause nobody could/would spend so much geo on sawblades.

[umbral night]

Using wall cling storage

[umbral night]

But nobody has pulled it off in a real run yet i think

[rotund geyser]

I mean the dreamers were just Guys before they were enlisted by the pale king. no reason they wouldn’t have a normal life cycle

[rotund geyser]

so this was always possible? or like did the patch change something

[umbral night]

Always i think
Cuz wcs is there in 1.2.2.1
But I'm not fully sure
Maybe someone else might know

I don't know if wcs is possible in later patches or that's patched out

[amber rose]

Is this were the theory of zote being from pharloom came from

[foggy sable]

did you get to the point where minions stopped spawning

[worthy peak]

no idea

far longer was as in number of attempts

probably though

[foggy sable]

oh, in ono the fight became easy after a while because the minions stopped spawning in after the fight went on long enough

[worthy peak]

to me i more got hit because I kept on trying t ocyclone and getting hit by a chrge...

[cerulean summit]

I KILLED GRIMM IM SO SORRY

banishment

[frigid bronze]

Bro

[eternal warren]

what did you think banishment was going to do?

[frigid bronze]

????

[sleek tide]

Man I beated ascended absolute raidence phase 1 n 2 hitless alot u can say it kinda counts as raident but.... I am struggling at 3rd phase bruh can't beat it yet

[frigid bronze]

Ascended is just normal absrad

You can do it I believe in you

[sleek tide]

Ye raident is same thing but only 1 hp

Like phase 1 n 2 easy hitless

[frigid bronze]

Thanks for letting me know

[sleek tide]

I can't even do a normal phase 3 on ascended

[dry creek]

?

[frigid bronze]

?

[dry creek]

ascended is quadruple damage lol

rathwr than double

[zinc iris]

Double

[frigid bronze]

Dude what? 😭

[dry creek]

for absrad

its quadruple rather than double

[zinc iris]

No

[dry creek]

i mean that she deals 4 damage rather than 2 😭

[sleek tide]

Guys he mean it does 4 mask dmg

[zinc iris]

Her attuned already does 2

[sleek tide]

NOT 4X normal dmg

[dry creek]

yes exactly iistra

[worthy peak]

how do you split phases

[umbral night]

I haven't reached her

[dry creek]

ascended deals 4 damage

for absrad

wtf

[sleek tide]

wdym? Phase 1 is the normal one 2nd is platform one 3rd beam is when he go high up

[zinc iris]

So tht wud mean double dmg from her base

[frigid bronze]

But then I have a question

[worthy peak]

See.

[dry creek]

yes thats what i meant, lets not get into semantics pls 😭

[worthy peak]

phase one is ground spikeless phase 2 is spiked phase 3 is sword rain phase 4 is plats phase 5 is climb phase 6 is orb barrage phase 7 is final hit

So uhh.

[trail ruin]

82% at almost 13h I can do 100% in 20h?

[umbral night]

I like the three phase
Short and simple

[raw sonnet]

5hours of practising pop 💔

[zinc iris]

Why is there a phase 7

[worthy peak]

Phase 6+7 are not particularily useful to differentiate

[zinc iris]

Nothing changes

It's just 6 imo

[sleek tide]

spineless isn't really a phase tbh and sword rain a whole isnt the phase that's the end of the phase

[worthy peak]

yes something does.

[sleek tide]

Many ppl say it like that homie

[worthy peak]

and it has killed people before

[sleek tide]

Phase is a BIG CHANGE not small one vro

[crude yacht]

Guys, who's there's know about mastering non-hit etc things? Wanna do radiant all bosses and... oh god am bad at doing this

[worthy peak]

Why not?

[zinc iris]

Oh what

[worthy peak]

its a behaviour change

[umbral night]

(i like three phase absrad ngl)
My brain can't process 6

[worthy peak]

they stop teleporting. and if they arent in the middle teleport faster. the second part being the important one cause they can drop you into the void if you expect to get a pogo.

[dry creek]

once again, lets not argue over subjective semantics,,

[zinc iris]

Hmm

[worthy peak]

As such it can totally kill you due to a behaviour change

which makes it a valid phase imo

[arctic monolith]

I hate how the game doesn't teach you how to pogo

[frigid bronze]

What

[dry creek]

yeah it just has you figure it out lol

its not like "press down + slash to bounce!!" or wtv

[arctic monolith]

A massive movement and attack option missed because the game doesn't tell you

Pure game designs fault

[frigid bronze]

I think it’s more so common sense

[zinc iris]

Brooding mawlek is where the game tells u
That u can look down lol

[dry creek]

false equivalence 🙁

[worthy peak]

pogo is more obviously missble.

[dry creek]

yeah and it still doesnt say you can pogo??

[worthy peak]

Pogo definitely should tell you.

[arctic monolith]

My point is, what the fuck are you supposed to do here without knowing how to pogo

[worthy peak]

Moreso than going down does.

[frigid bronze]

Pogoing is pretty prominent in metroidvanias

[worthy peak]

though actually fotf is kind of a tutorial

[dry creek]

when its required for nmg progression?

[arctic monolith]

Doesn't excuse the fact the game doesn't teach you

[worthy peak]

Huh... i didnt know that.

[raw sonnet]

you're forced to learn it in this fight

[arctic monolith]

Attacking is also common in most games and the game teaches you that

[arctic monolith]

How

It's not about LEARNING it it's about KNOWING about it

[frigid bronze]

You remind me of the people who just start the game and ask where to go

[raw sonnet]

dunno but you're forced to 😭

[arctic monolith]

Yeah no

Pure game design fault

[frigid bronze]

Slow learner blames game for skill issue

[empty lynx]

Stand infront of the guy, attack as he is about to attack? Run

[arctic monolith]

Because it makes no sense

Do you jump and attack under you irl

[frigid bronze]

Does hollow knight look like real life bro

[arctic monolith]

[empty lynx]

Monor you are literally speedrunning silksong what are you doing here

[frigid bronze]

Did you think you’d fall through were playing Elden ring? It’s a 2d platfomer

[zinc iris]

Ah yes, a moth invaded my dreams irl

[dry creek]

you dont really down attack in traditional metroidvanias like metroid series so

[umbral night]

No but when you get a new game you try all the controls right
You'll eventually accidentally pogo then remember it

[arctic monolith]

No I litteraly won't this is a game design fault of the game ,a game not teaching you about a MASSIVE movement in the game

The game litteraly teaches your everything else

[empty lynx]

A massive movement which you can surprisingly beat the game without using

[dry creek]

nmg

[arctic monolith]

You cannot

[empty lynx]

wanna bet

[umbral night]

You can

[arctic monolith]

If you don't know pogo and in fungal wastes ,YOURE FUCKED

[dry creek]

fungal wastes

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1239941630400921712/1300808841860087888/1276014246542573629.gif

[empty lynx]

Then i just won't go there

[arctic monolith]

There's like 3 pogo required rooms

[dry creek]

fr?

[umbral night]

You can jump on mushrooms

Without pogo

[dry creek]

no skips generally is what a first playthrough is like lol

[arctic monolith]

Guess what, skipping fungal wastes requires pogoing

[umbral night]

Where

[dry creek]

realistically nobody is doing speedrun shit on their first run

[arctic monolith]

Shade skip

[dry creek]

glitch

[arctic monolith]

Guess what the newest patch did

[umbral night]

Why would you shade skip to get claw
You can go through mantis village

[arctic monolith]

Your inventory pauses the game

[dry creek]

fair, but also how about no glitches at all considering new players dont tend to exploit glitches like that??

[arctic monolith]

You don't shade skip to get claw you skip claw

[delicate coral]

hi gui, mwommp

[patent meteor]

every run is on 1.2.2.1 tho

[dry creek]

we're talking about new players dawg

[dry creek]

hi

[empty lynx]

Me opening my inventory

[arctic monolith]

Brother ,do you seriously think a player that just started playing the game will downpatch it for a bullshit Speedrun strat

[delicate coral]

@quartz cave

[dry creek]

alr class is almost starting i gtg

[umbral night]

I'm so confused lol

[zinc iris]

Me

[delicate coral]

bye

[arctic monolith]

You will eventually that's not the problem

[patent meteor]

dont you need to learn it by yourself to actually pogo

[arctic monolith]

The problem is the game not telling you about it and resulting in bullshit like this

[empty lynx]

if you will eventually then there's no point in making an argument about it

[empty lynx]

stand infront of him. Hit. Jump away.

[keen thorn]

It's not hard, it's just one super easy timing

[empty lynx]

really not that hard

[umbral night]

What is there to learn
Jump, down, nail

[zinc iris]

Hello Genio

[keen thorn]

Yeah

[patent meteor]

i mean isnt it fairly obviously just not by watchign a vid

[arctic monolith]

Does the knight jump that high?

[delicate coral]

yes

[keen thorn]

Hello

[patent meteor]

yeah but also some ppl wouldnt think of that

[empty lynx]

if you can jump high enough to pogo on them then you can jump high enough to dodge

[patent meteor]

even though its kinda obvious

[empty lynx]

i can make a new save literally right now to test if you want

[delicate coral]

true. a lot of people find out about it pretty early on just by messing around with controls

[arctic monolith]

Game not teaching you about a mechanic that's required to beat the game(skip less) =good game design

Be fr

[umbral night]

I wouldn't know really
I learnt from a video i think?
Don't remember

[zinc iris]

Raise it to the devs

Why u so pressed abt it

[empty lynx]

delete the game lowk that's an option

[patent meteor]

basically yeah, i kinda kept wandering in fungal wastes figuring out what ot do until i eventually figured out by just random inputs

[patent meteor]

fair enough

[arctic monolith]

Jumping at the right time
