[wispy sky]

HERRAH

2 DREAMERS ALREADY

[coral marlin]

WAIT IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE

[main anchor]

nail 1 downslash only thk?

[coral marlin]

I may have fucked it up by accidentally using Wings so I... gotta reset it

[wispy sky]

you cannot be serious

[coral marlin]

But the void did raise

[silk robin]

not worth anyways

[glossy mango]

voidheart is basically just PS4 edition

[lofty coral]

Alr

[glossy mango]

and other consoles

[wispy sky]

YOOOO

[glossy mango]

and it comes with a few patches and balance to godhome

[wispy sky]

SOUL VESSEL ALREADY

[wispy sky]

.

WINGS

[hallow solar]

POGGY THORAX LETS GO

[silk robin]

[royal dome]

[wispy sky]

mulafly

[main anchor]

w

[alpine citrus]

Hi

[silk robin]

man I hate not being able to downgrade the xbox edition of the game

[wispy sky]

wings without claw is so weird

[silk robin]

wait guys does lumafly update itself

[coral marlin]

Can I get any good fucking AbsRad RNG already

[silk robin]

like automatically

[royal dome]

No

[hallow solar]

anybody got any clue what the teal tear is yet

[honest shale]

ismas maybe?

[hallow solar]

thats green

[silk robin]

Maybe blue lake

[subtle glacier]

wdym teal tear

like swim?

[silk robin]

like look how teal ts is

[hallow solar]

its this look at the recent items

[subtle glacier]

hot spring water

[nocturne knot]

you must not fly too high or you are getting burnt by the sun's sword rain
the same laterally, but that is less common

[hallow solar]

oh its hot spring

[subtle glacier]

hp + soul regen for a bit

[hallow solar]

i see

now im gonna reset this because lurien as third check is so crazy

[subtle glacier]

that's also turquoise

teal is not as bright

[nocturne knot]

because of crossroads?

[hallow solar]

too good of a start

[honest shale]

No that requires being bad at the game silly

[hallow solar]

WHY IS ALPHABET RANDO STILL HERE

[nocturne knot]

yeah but you dont know how bad the ending could be right?

112% for herrah or something i guess

[honest shale]

herrah is in land of storms trust

[coral marlin]

My brother in Christ, that is the least of my worries in terms of RNG

[hallow solar]

how can i disable alphabet rando in the main menu

[nocturne knot]

then what is your rng worries if not that???

[main anchor]

lol

[hallow solar]

LIKE WHAT IS THIS

[honest shale]

thats the neat part

[honest shale]

climb

[hallow solar]

i cant even make a new rando

[nocturne knot]

that has a pattern

[silk robin]

gang

569

[honest shale]

[royal dome]

Still holding onto my thought that it looks like one of those things by the lifeblood core door

[subtle glacier]

569+

at least 570

[wispy sky]

hornet gave me a hallownest seal

[coral marlin]

❌

[hallow solar]

it was a hot spring

[coral marlin]

569 or more

[hallow solar]

ok i saved and quit im back to normal

time to see how long the randomizing takes

[silk robin]

that or sounds so juicy

[coral marlin]

Man I wish I could get a good fucking angle to test the climb

Doesn't help that AbsRad keeps blocking every goddamn opening

[hallow solar]

yo first try lets go

bro leave me alone

[wispy sky]

ok time to skip half the game

[hallow solar]

i started a new rando and watcher knights are the SECOND ROOM

[nocturne knot]

sounds cool

[coral marlin]

So fun fact

For some reason, AbsRad's beams ONLY push you left if you get hit

On the climb

Unless it's directionally based

In which case, Wingsless is still impossible

[wispy sky]

broken vessel time

[hallow solar]

finally killed my first watcher knight

5 left

[coral marlin]

So yeah, Wingsless Radiance is impossible.

The beams on the climb push you outward, not inward, so damage tanking to get in claw range of the 2nd to last platform is impossible, and the void just stays below you indefinitely, no matter how much you jump.

[wispy sky]

wings turned into geo

[royal dome]

How much

[wispy sky]

15

the only item i have is wings lol

[sudden osprey]

The direction you get pushed isn’t set in stone
It depends on like… the position of the knight relative to the hitbox

And from rando experience I can tell you that people have done radiance with only half a claw

[royal dome]

[hallow solar]

died after 2 watchers

[silk robin]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1304487673007702047/1341399838708994068/togif.gif

[hallow solar]

should i refight

literally 2 watchers took 9 minutes

[royal dome]

You’re not gonna let them win are you?

[hallow solar]

no i am not letting those bastards win

[sudden osprey]

Watchers with low equipment is kindof a beast
What do you have ?

Old nail and VS only or something ?

[royal dome]

Just the nail probably

[sudden osprey]

That would be annoying, without spells it’s not that fun
No dash is also not fun

[royal dome]

I never use spells lol

[umbral hull]

what the grubs doing

[royal dome]

My entire AscHoG was spelless just bc that’s how I play

[sudden osprey]

-# laaamme, start using quick cast and not focus to use spells and learn them, they are super fun

[coral marlin]

Love trying to do nail turnaround facedancing on a joystick.

[royal dome]

Nah I’ll stick to spelless as I attempt radhog

[dry creek]

true

[coral marlin]

I mean shit, Nail Only RadHoG does sound kinda fun

[subtle glacier]

the using quick cast to having fun pipeline

a classic

[royal dome]

True true

Except Markoth

[boreal cape]

Of course

[umbral hull]

[sudden osprey]

I’ve said it and I’ll say it again, the biggest flaw of hk is telling people to use focus and not quick cast in ancestral mound

[coral marlin]

Well Markoth is never fun. Except for TAS.

[keen thorn]

The biggest flaw in HK is the fact the heal button cast spells for some reason

[coral marlin]

It would make heal flickering so much easier if the "normal" cast didn't exist

And prevent accidental spell casts

[hallow solar]

just a tiny fraction of the entire fight this is hell

[boreal cape]

I did that all the time on my first playthrough and it was so annoying

[coral marlin]

Currently trying to do Radiant Dashless AbsRad with only 1 required use of Wings

[sudden osprey]

You don’t have directional slashes as well
holy

[tribal tide]

just beat absolute radiance on accident idk what to do

first try too normally i die like 10 tirlion times

anyrad strats too op

[sudden osprey]

Yeah that works as well

[royal dome]

Again, and again, and again, then p5

[tribal tide]

yeah..

[honest shale]

do you regret resetting yet?

[hallow solar]

no this is fun actually

on w3 and w4

there goes w3

[boreal cape]

I would never be able to do that, I'm so impatient with boss fights

[hallow solar]

alright 3 down 3 left

full hp full soul

[fiery trench]

what r they doin?

[royal dome]

I cast good rng

[tribal tide]

wht challange

[hallow solar]

less than new game knight

[sudden osprey]

It’s itemless wk

[hallow solar]

basically downslash only newgame night

[wispy sky]

[boreal cape]

They're doing room rando and that's one of their first rooms

[fiery trench]

[wispy sky]

[meager sparrow]

fun fact: you can get this grub with Dash Slash through the wall

[fiery trench]

[hallow solar]

[meager sparrow]

[boreal cape]

Good

[fiery trench]

Zote?

[zinc delta]

yoooo malachives wsg

[honest shale]

nailsmith

[wispy sky]

why did the word "lurien" just appear on my screen

[fiery trench]

ok
respectable save then

[boreal cape]

I haven't seen you here since I first joined

[cerulean summit]

i think the next thing i wanna do is get every charm notch if i haven't already
and then uhh idk what's next

[honest shale]

u got lurien

[fiery trench]

congrats on infecting ur crossroads

[wispy sky]

no i didnt

it was like dream nail dialogue

[cerulean summit]

who's lurien

[honest shale]

for what

[fiery trench]

were u near a dream tree

[wispy sky]

i did absolutely nothing

[zinc delta]

i've been gone for a bit focusing on mc pvp

[wispy sky]

what does this mean

[boreal cape]

How's that been going?

[tropic nest]

interact with spore shroom

[wispy sky]

ohhhh

is it a mr mushroom thing

[zinc delta]

pretty good ngl
beat my friend that used mace whilst having a diamond sword

[boreal cape]

Hell yeah

[fiery trench]

spore lore

[sudden osprey]

Not rly, those are just lore tablets that require spore shroom

[hallow solar]

so my reward for all that was a blade of grass, a shrumal warrior journal entry, and a room I can't do anything in

worth it for the fun fight though

[silk robin]

guys I'm back #sk-discussion is shitposting ai again

[royal dome]

Okay what’s this mod called?

[fiery trench]

randomizer 4

[silk robin]

I'll get it

[zinc delta]

how'd it go being there?

[hallow solar]

the fight had good luck but the loot did not lol

[honest shale]

you shitpost ai

[silk robin]

they were trying to ragebait me

[hallow solar]

randomizer 4

[silk robin]

is this ai?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/283680756159741953/1498459971610873937/v24044gl0000d7jutd7og65tts9mkg6g_1.gif

[honest shale]

likely

[wispy sky]

WHY IS LEG EATER SELLING ME WHITE FRAGMENT

[fiery trench]

bigger mistake is that u went to skdisc and expected anything good

[fiery trench]

yes

[boreal cape]

Because he's goated

[royal dome]

That rng had already taken place prior unfortunately, the blessing only applied for future rng

[silk robin]

listen to the og

It's just minecraft music or smth

[coral marlin]

I'm just gonna fuckin do Charmless Radiant Nail Only AbsRad

[honest shale]

the cpus so ass i survived to 160% as pichu 😭

[boreal cape]

Why

[fiery trench]

@silk robin ur mistakes have not been forgotten

[silk robin]

https://tenor.com/view/no-correlation-gif-1271746605347850530

[hallow solar]

i have some addons like grass rando, therealjournalrando, and alphabet rando

[fiery trench]

do y like suffering?

[coral marlin]

She's the last of the Big 3 (PV, NKG and AbsRad) I have left to do Charmless Nail Only Radiant.

...given, NKG is easy as shit and PV is basically meant to be Nail Only, but still.

[royal dome]

The heck do those do

[fiery trench]

u shitpost ai
here’s u shitposting ai

[boreal cape]

Grass can give you anything

[fiery trench]

grass in rando pool
journal entries and marks in rando pool
letters in rando pool

[hallow solar]

grass rando adds a check for every single blade of grass in the game. TRJR randomizes every hunters journal entry and hunters notes. alphabet rando randomizes every letter and number. So right now all text is gone except periods, question marks, and stuff like that

[hearty monolith]

grass like the plant?

[nocturne knot]

what

[silk robin]

I made ts into a gif

bc this is an absolute geo

[fiery trench]

cool vro

[coral marlin]

The 2nd to last platform is too high to jump and claw on, and damage tanking the lasers push you outward, not inward. Also the void never rises no matter how much you jump.

[strong skiff]

amazing,i did one more room in another hour

[nocturne knot]

i see
i was misremembering itemless hornet for the knight and thought it was possible

[strong skiff]

im done with ts

[sudden osprey]

Congrats or sorry that it happened ?

[strong skiff]

option one

[coral marlin]

Contrary to Hornet, the Knight is short.

[strong skiff]

i was just thinking
lemme go play a rando for a few hours
out of the 2.5 hours 2 of them were spent not playing

this is funny

[nocturne knot]

what were you doing for 2 hours?

[hallow solar]

so here is an example of grass rando lol @royal dome

[silk robin]

guys remember
99% of ai users rot their brain before quitting

[strong skiff]

well ig not done in a sense of it being done,in a sense im done with it
uhh english is impossible
but yeah i am happy i've done it

[meager sparrow]

is it possible to do an acid skip here

[strong skiff]

writing logic

[boreal cape]

C dash

[silk robin]

it's literally THEE acid skip

[honest shale]

qga is fake you’re hallucinating

[meager sparrow]

i can't get the timing down for the cdash

[silk robin]

search it on youtube

[nocturne knot]

what

[boreal cape]

It's very difficult to pull off, I don't blame you

[slender elbow]

wingless absrad is definitely possible, u can use this video as a reference on how that issue is tackled: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Zko-ynUXG4&t=2m18s

[patent rain]

Whats qga

[boreal cape]

Queens gardens acid

[coral marlin]

Oh you're fucking kidding me

[patent rain]

I assumed but whys that need an acronym

[nocturne knot]

used in speedruns

[boreal cape]

Takes time to spell and qga is just 3 letters

[nocturne knot]

and stuff

[meager sparrow]

LETS GO I JUST DID THE ACID SKIP

[patent rain]

qg exists tho

Its just four more letters to type acid

[silk robin]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/283680756159741953/1499191058611830885/image.gif

[fickle steppe]

the Dream No More ending created so many Hollow Knight posers. Hornet says “Gi’kku!!” in Bugnish not “GIT GUD”

[boreal cape]

Fair point, but it looks a bit cleaner as an acronym I guess??

[meager sparrow]

i'm at like 75% completion or something and i've still not gotten isma's tear

[honest shale]

twice as long

[coral marlin]

So how is this a gif

It's frozen for me

[silk robin]

I think youre dreaming

[fickle steppe]

it’s a gif so people can access it from the favorites menu

[silk robin]

It's doing so much movement

[coral marlin]

Did not know that

[hearty monolith]

gifs dont have to move

[meager sparrow]

oh and this acid skip is just entrance to queens gardens-

[patent rain]

Then why make it a gif

[hearty monolith]

so it can be favorited in discord

[hallow solar]

my favorite area, s

[hearty monolith]

and be in the gif tab

[hearty monolith]

s

[silk robin]

theres no s in there

[cerulean summit]

is markoth BS on purpose

[fiery trench]

why must the world be cruel

[hallow solar]

Ss for 3 noooooo

[boreal cape]

City of TearS

[silk robin]

I don't think anyone crying there

[hallow solar]

at least s is 1 notch cheaper

[boreal cape]

At least it's base price and not overly expensive

[honest shale]

@odd salmon are you markoth?

[fiery trench]

well u cant rrealler cry when ur dead

[silk robin]

nobody in HALLOWNEST cares aout lerian

[nocturne knot]

what does it mean on english tho?

[silk robin]

my point

[hallow solar]

lets go i can see an innacurate count of my money now

[boreal cape]

The king

[fiery trench]

bigger thing is that the name comes from the constant rain and not the actual tears of the people

[silk robin]

he's far gone

[fiery trench]

again, cant really cry when ur dead

guess who's gotta do flower quest :P

[silk robin]

waut didn't blue lake start leaking after hallownests death

[boreal cape]

I pray for you

[silk robin]

not even that bad after you do it once and have a route

[fiery trench]

what wouldve stopped it before tho?

[hallow solar]

just got a 's s from sss

[silk robin]

that's not the point

[fiery trench]

let me rephrase
guess who’s gotta do flower quest with 2 mask and no vs/ssoul or claw :P

[boreal cape]

I don't think praying can you out ngl

[silk robin]

2 masks doesn't matter, shade soul isn't that important and claw is claw
rephrase that one more time

[hallow solar]

"2 mask" ok and why is that a problem for flower quest

[fiery trench]

actually nvm cant even get out of resting grounds
I get to put off flower quest till I get elevator pass

[hallow solar]

is it room rando flower or normal flower

[fiery trench]

normal

[naive heron]

what is vs

[idle bloom]

vengeful spirit i think

[fiery trench]

forward spell

[boreal cape]

Vengeful Spirit

[naive heron]

why

[hallow solar]

i just have an innate feeling this is a zote precept

[fiery trench]

why what?

[idle bloom]

bro desolate dive carry

[fiery trench]

carry what
cant even do it without elevator pass

[idle bloom]

like the jellyfish

[hallow solar]

swim?

tram pass?

[idle bloom]

just use elevator?

[boreal cape]

It's a rando so you can't use elevators until you have a specific pass for it

[idle bloom]

idk if tram works

[fiery trench]

how am I supposed to leave resting grounds without claw or elevator

[idle bloom]

huh???????? wdym elevator pass

[dry creek]

send inventory

[hallow solar]

mods

[idle bloom]

ohhhh

just go grab it somewhere in the map?

[dry creek]

randomizer; dont know where it is.

[boreal cape]

All items are randomized, it can be anywhere

[hallow solar]

i have a rando question

[idle bloom]

well just explore in the first place

[dark lotus]

Yes finally I unlocked 1st pantheon

[dry creek]

thats the issue lol

[idle bloom]

cool

[hallow solar]

where would you get elevator pass if nothing was randomized at all

[dry creek]

they literally cant

[idle bloom]

explore first then do the quest later?

[coral marlin]

Love that Hornet 2 can just insta-charge me. No telegraph at all.

[dry creek]

shrogo, other skips

[idle bloom]

that sucks

[fiery trench]

again
how to leave resting grounds

[wispy sky]

yoooo

[dry creek]

shrogo, other skips

[wispy sky]

grub gave me lantern

[dry creek]

unless you have those disabled. then im lost lol

[boreal cape]

Fire

[dry creek]

theres at least 1 skip you can do

[hallow solar]

anyone got an answer to this

[dry creek]

not me

[boreal cape]

I don't think there is

[idle bloom]

do you have the climbing skill?

oh

[dry creek]

they just sent inventory dawg,,

[honest shale]

broken elevator

[dry creek]

yeah,,

[idle bloom]

well sorry didnt see it

[fiery trench]

what shrooms r in resting grounds?
unless u mean shade skips but I dont think thats really aplicable to leave the catacombs for flower quest

[idle bloom]

go lower left, under the tram

[fiery trench]

@idle bloom

[dry creek]

i said shrogo, abyss shriek pogo. not shroom pogo

[honest shale]

shriek pogo

[dry creek]

which skips have you enabled?

[meager sparrow]

wait how did you get all that without claw 😭

[fiery trench]

rando

[idle bloom]

wait how does bro not have mantis claw already

[meager sparrow]

ah

[idle bloom]

oh

i see

just go to blue lake?

[dry creek]

swimming is randomized

you cant swim without it or you take damage

[honest shale]

this is so funny to watch

[dry creek]

like just regular ass swimming

[hallow solar]

if a rando adds extra items where are the checks for them

[idle bloom]

wdym swimming is randomized???

[boreal cape]

It's like any other ability

[dry creek]

you have to get an item to swim

[idle bloom]

bro this mod is really confusing

[idle bloom]

new item?

like normal water not acid

[honest shale]

id assume you start with extra items

[hallow solar]

normal water

[idle bloom]

DAYUM THAT SUCKS

[hallow solar]

but like alphabet rando

[boreal cape]

All the letters are now bosses

[dry creek]

help😭

[idle bloom]

so you have to get an item or is it just rng

[honest shale]

probably replaced geo or smth

[dry creek]

item

its a randomly placed one so its both

[idle bloom]

"Ogrim's tear"?

lol bruh

[fiery trench]

randomly in the world
considering they have access to the set spawn journal entires they probably have some options

[dry creek]

lmao no

[fiery trench]

just swim

[dry creek]

thats what allows you to swim in shit id assume

[wispy sky]

QHAT

QSLASH FOR 0

[dry creek]

LETS GOOO!!!

[boreal cape]

Holy peak

[wispy sky]

guess what

it was in crystal peaks

peak indeed

[idle bloom]

fuh what? there should be a mod that we swim in the toilet or smth to use it

[boreal cape]

YES:D

[dry creek]

there is no ogrims tear. im just assuming that "ogrims tear" would let you swim in shit

[fiery trench]

welp I found right claw

[idle bloom]

ik bro

[dry creek]

yay

[idle bloom]

nice now escape resting place

[dry creek]

[honest shale]

BENCHWARP OUT YOU ABSOLUTE NUMBSKULL

[dry creek]

[honest shale]

no

[idle bloom]

whats benchwarp

[meager sparrow]

this jar lid landed on its edge

[dry creek]

mod

[fiery trench]

ok time to cheese the entirety of flower quest

[idle bloom]

cool

[boreal cape]

Dear god

[meager sparrow]

i thought benchwarping was just when you exit the game and load the file again to go back to a bench that's far away

[honest shale]

it is also a mod

[meager sparrow]

or maybe not even far, but just to save time

[boreal cape]

Double meaning

[meager sparrow]

i see

[idle bloom]

lol if it exists then it would be really awsome

[meager sparrow]

what

[honest shale]

it does

[idle bloom]

benchwarping

[wispy sky]

grubsong for 2

[honest shale]

people use what he just said in speedruns

[wispy sky]

ok ig?

[honest shale]

not worth

[idle bloom]

like normal speedrun?

[honest shale]

yes

[idle bloom]

oh its like for dash

wait you can benchwarp in normal hk? can i use it to cheese flower quest

[fiery trench]

ok thats bum quest done

[honest shale]

to warp back to crossroads after getting dash and claw

[idle bloom]

i thought benchwarp was something in mods

[coral marlin]

The primal urge to just keep dashing despite the fact you know the projectile travelling in the same direction as you is 100% going to hit you

[honest shale]

it is

[idle bloom]

oh ok

so it jumps from bench to bench?

[honest shale]

what

[idle bloom]

i think thats called save n quit?

[boreal cape]

It's both the mod lets you go to ANY bench you sat on, base game allows you to go to the last bench you sat on

[idle bloom]

cool

[honest shale]

it also goes by the name benchwarping

[idle bloom]

i dont know because im never used it or heard of it

i just know about save and quit

[coral marlin]

Nail Only Radblobbles dead

[idle bloom]

[honest shale]

0 work put in unlike the button mash i have to do with kirby

i downsmashed 5 times in a row and didnt get punished

[wispy sky]

its a soul totem

[boreal cape]

Should I 100% the game again?

[tribal tide]

js got to final phase ascended radiance first try and died but its okay

[violet goblet]

I'm stuck on fucking nightmare king grim

😔

Since I'm playing on PC it's making one of his attacks invisible

[boreal cape]

Which one?

[violet goblet]

School Chromebook 🥹

[boreal cape]

I meant the attack

[violet goblet]

The bat thing

Where he launches the bats

[boreal cape]

Oh

[violet goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-hk-nkg-pain-nighmare-king-grimm-gif-17942698523985175356

Found this gif

And it doesn't help how I only have 6 hearts

[violet goblet]

Bees

[wild surge]

Yo who's a harder boss, NKG, or Pure Vessel?

[forest lynx]

pv

In most people's opinion

[zinc delta]

nkg

[forest lynx]

But not all

[wild surge]

Also give me your hollow knight hot takes

[forest lynx]

is quick focus being a god tier charm one?

[wild surge]

Lukewarm

[wispy sky]

mop is a good charm

[forest lynx]

facts

[wispy sky]

most spell users will disagree

[wild surge]

Fr just use long nail

[wispy sky]

mop is literally better

[subtle glacier]

it's not
"spell users"
it's
"good players" :D

[eternal warren]

Grimmchild is a good charm

[wispy sky]

emotional support

damage increase is too little

[forest lynx]

In combat, meh. But it does let you fight the best boss in the game so...

[wispy sky]

and he has terrible aim

[wild surge]

I got one

Glowing womb is useful

[eternal warren]

👀

[wispy sky]

crystal peaks is worse than deepnest

[wispy sky]

just wrong

[wild surge]

Abyss shriek is mid

[forest lynx]

Nosk is really cool

[wispy sky]

moth god

[wild surge]

I'm giving hot takes

[wispy sky]

both versions mid

[forest lynx]

1st is amazing, 2nd is mid

[wild surge]

Abs. Rad.'s run back isn't that bad

[eternal warren]

The best part of either Nosk fight is the set up/fake out

[forest lynx]

The buildup to the first is incredible

[wild surge]

Scorching hot take:Wayward Compass is useless

[wispy sky]

at one point the usefulness dwindles down

[eternal warren]

If you have a half decent sense of direction, it really is

[wispy sky]

once you’ve memorized the map

[forest lynx]

I don't understand how you can think that. For new players, it is clearly useful

[wispy sky]

hot take: hornet 2 is amazing boss

[wild surge]

That's just true tho

[eternal warren]

I stopped finding it useful before I left crossroads

[wispy sky]

how

[wild surge]

I got one I will get flamed by everyone for

Sealed Vessel is a terrible ost

[wispy sky]

BLASPHEMY

[patent rain]

I've never seen you outside of help channel

[wild surge]

It's just wrong, anyone who says elsewise is lying

[forest lynx]

no.

just no.

[blissful drum]

Why

[eternal warren]

The map coresponds well enough to the rooms, and the rooms are all very unique, I didn't find it hard to figure out my location
And the places I got most lost, the compass couldn't really help with because the map doesn't show obstacles within rooms

[forest lynx]

Yea I'm not here much

[wispy sky]

saying his own ost is bad smh

[patent rain]

Ban

[wild surge]

Now I got one everyone will agree on

[wispy sky]

pale court is worse than white palace

[knotty ravine]

like sometimes you just dont have to engage with trolls

[wild surge]

Shaman Stone is top 3 charms

[patent rain]

If someone can disagree with sealed vessel there is 0 unity

[boreal cape]

Yes

[subtle glacier]

got another extreme one

[forest lynx]

Here's my hot take: that's incorrect

[wispy sky]

quickslash is top 3 charms

[wild surge]

Unbreakable Strength too

[wispy sky]

strength you literally cannot take off

[boreal cape]

I'd argue it's the best charm, it's great in both spell and nail based builds

[wispy sky]

useful 100% of the time

[boreal cape]

I love it since I mainly play in ss

[wild surge]

Quick slash is useful in both nail and spell builds

[eternal warren]

Grubsong and weaverlings are the best use of 3 charm notches

[wild surge]

No

[boreal cape]

It helps collect soul and that's it

[wild surge]

Then use quick slash

[boreal cape]

Exactly why it's my favourite

[eternal warren]

It gets you souk from void enemies and the false knight that otherwise don't give soul, it does a non zero amount of damage, and they're cute

[patent rain]

And grubsong personally

[wispy sky]

thats fair

[wild surge]

I'd argue that quick slash is the BEST charm because of usefulness and versatility

[boreal cape]

I used grubsong in my first run since I was prone to taking damage

[wispy sky]

both qslash and shaman are so satisfying to use

[boreal cape]

Shaman makes ssoul so much better than it already is

[patent rain]

Qs and sb is so satisfying to hit with the nail

[subtle glacier]

shaman makes multis real which makes all combat more fun

multis are like kinda real sometimes shamanless but

[patent rain]

What are multis

[subtle glacier]

those are less fun

[wild surge]

Yo would yall give Lil' Ghost head pats?

[subtle glacier]

when the same fireball hits more than once

[boreal cape]

I'm pretty sure it's hitting an enemy multiple times with one ssoul or vs

[wild surge]

Xero

[subtle glacier]

most dream warriors can’t help but get multied

[patent rain]

So that lk clip u showed

[wild surge]

I lowkey would

[boreal cape]

Will he give me radiance treatment?

[subtle glacier]

multis !!!!

[wild surge]

Maybe

[boreal cape]

Then idk

[wild surge]

Is that a risk you're willing to take?

[boreal cape]

Hell no

[wild surge]

What about the hollow knight?

[boreal cape]

Still very powerful but he doesn't have the power of the void so I'll say maybe

[vagrant grail]

The more I play through the white palace, the more I hate that grubsong doesn’t give a mask worth of soul per hit taken.

Idgaf if that’d make it basically hiveblood, that’d be a POSITIVE. I’m not gonna suffer through the hive just to make this less intolerable

[patent rain]

It would be op

Bc u dont lose any health if u know when to heal, no collecting soul needed

[boreal cape]

I also went through the grief of not having hiveblood for palace, speaking from experience it's worth it

[vagrant grail]

Good.

That’s a good thing. And in most fights where it’d be that helpful hiveblood would do the exact same without you even having to stop moving.

[patent rain]

Hiveblood is horrible in bosses

If u get hit enough to need hiveblood u prolly cant consistently handle the time u have to not get hit to heal

[gilded eagle]

any tips for the ranged attk from PV?

Is the atk im struggling to dodge consistently

[boreal cape]

The one where he shoots all the swords?

[gilded eagle]

from his hands yes

Im aware I can shade cloak but im trying to be able to tell how to dodge it safely without it

[acoustic ledge]

battle sisters are so fun

[plush crown]

i just got ||void heart|| what am i suppose to do ?

[boreal cape]

I would say ddark, sometimes you don't have enough soul to do it and if that's the case I go for a shade cloak

[boreal cape]

go to the black egg

[patent rain]

Do it all over again but different

You'll see

[plush crown]

alr

[buoyant fable]

Hey uh guys

say wallahi?

lol

[plush crown]

actually crazy

[buoyant fable]

yes i will see!

[patent rain]

Did u see it

[buoyant fable]

cuz say wallahi!

[plush crown]

ye but ||why is she sealed with me now?||

[patent rain]

Thats one of the endings it can give u

The other one is way more tuff

[patent rain]

You didnt dreamnail him when she held him

[plush crown]

how do i get it?

[plush crown]

nope

dreamnail him

alr bet

[patent rain]

Something cool will happen that may take u a bit of tries

[plush crown]

dang alr let me cook

[eternal warren]

If they wanted them, yes

[royal tulip]

I beat ||the trial of fools||

[royal tulip]

I'm so proud
sorry I needed to share this with someone

[subtle glacier]

what should i do next

[harsh mantle]

Love key Dash

[subtle glacier]

holy !

huge

[violet goblet]

How do I defeat nightmare king grim I'm on a school Chromebook and ine of his abilities are invisible

[patent rain]

Bro bought hk on a school chromebook

[violet goblet]

Nah I transfered files from my actual computer to school PC

[patent rain]

O

Whys it invisible

[violet goblet]

Who knows

It's the bat attack

[patent rain]

Then how do u know what it looks like

[violet goblet]

Cause I already 112% this on my main save file on my actual home PC

[patent rain]

Use sound cues then

[copper glacier]

you see him for every other attack than his bat

[patent rain]

I mean how the bats look

[patent rain]

To tell when its a bat

[copper glacier]

muscle memory ig

[acoustic ledge]

yo

[violet goblet]

Dude how tf do I do this guy

[harsh mantle]

Should I go get more essence (I need 550 more) or Descending dark?

[patent rain]

They're completely unrelated

Theres no point in putting them in the same sentence

But i would do ddark

Its so useful while u can get essence whenever u want

[violet goblet]

Bro I hate king grim

😭

Dosnt help how he 3 shots

[acoustic ledge]

wish me luck im at pure vessel

[violet goblet]

Lwk always found nightmare grim harder than pure vessel

[acoustic ledge]

i beat pure vessel

omg

[violet goblet]

Cool

[copper glacier]

[violet goblet]

do I need to defeat nightmare grim for pantheon 3

[copper glacier]

no

[violet goblet]

BET FUCK YOU GRIM IM OUT

[patent rain]

P5 only, p3 is tmg

[copper glacier]

One does not "beat" the Pure Vessel, one simply slows its wrath.

[acoustic ledge]

fuck are you talkinga bout im on absrad first time

[copper glacier]

execution clock ticking, 1 minute and counting

[wispy sky]

yeah he does that

[acoustic ledge]

could you like

not ping me?

yo?

[wispy sky]

put no pings in your name

[raw cedar]

I once saw a voting poll "which sibling is the strongest" the knight vs Hornet vs pure vessel. the only reason pure vessel didn't get like 95% of votes is because he isn't a playable character

[wispy sky]

i personally thing pv and the knight are the same strength

[acoustic ledge]

"says that hes fighting absradf first time so you MIGHT assume its better to not ping me or something"
"proceeds to be doing some hahahahaha absrad 1 minute clock tik tik ghahaahahahahaha"

[copper glacier]

PV is the most goated vessel, if not the most goated character

[acoustic ledge]

yeah wow

THANKS

[wispy sky]

well youre gonna die to absrad guaranteed

no one beats absrad first try in p5

iunless this isnt your first tru

[copper glacier]

i think i just unintentionally ragebaited

[wispy sky]

and most aura

[acoustic ledge]

i know people that did so AND its not a reason to fucking give up and start simply afking and letting absrad kill you without any attempts

[acoustic ledge]

ragebait? no that is not ragebait that is just simply being dumb fuck

[wispy sky]

better to try and learn than suicide

[acoustic ledge]

you just proved my point that its better to atleast try to win instead of giving up

[wispy sky]

yeah

im not trying to argue

[acoustic ledge]

but when i tried this guy decided that its his time

[copper glacier]

no one said to afk on absrad not even me

[acoustic ledge]

for no reason like oh yea ima joke haha

[acoustic ledge]

are you serious?

[copper glacier]

yes, i usually like to assume people have humor. apologies. also, you can turn off/close discord to stop being pinged.

[foggy sable]

Some people do beat absrad first attempt

[acoustic ledge]

if you were talking to entire chat when joking you couldve not just relpyed

[acoustic ledge]

exactly

no whatever ill just press altf4 the second i start p5 run

[copper glacier]

no one is saying that bro

[pliant bough]

[foggy sable]

You are being facetious though and it is annoying

[subtle leaf]

Hey sorry to bother but I was wondering if I can ask a help, a friend of mine is looking for some artist ( they do art as well) for comic we are working on, it a groups project and I was wondering if it’s ok to ask around? I don’t want to come off as pushy or break any rules I was just wondering if it’s ok or not

[copper glacier]

who?

[foggy sable]

The other person

[boreal cape]

You should probably ask the #art-discussion if you're looking for artists

[copper glacier]

i was making an absrad joke and got called a "dumb fuck" for it

[wispy sky]

guys how hard is a shrogo

[boreal cape]

Probably pretty damn hard to pull off

[wispy sky]

valid crashout or nah

[violet goblet]

https://youtube.com/shorts/eR3VL9FQLyA?si=zpQLU1hLKREf64Uh

Peak performance

[forest mantle]

HOLY SHIT

[copper glacier]

i would say nah.

[foggy sable]

nope just someone being rudr

[forest mantle]

I BEAT UUMU WITH BASE NAIL AND 5 CHARM NOTCHES

[copper glacier]

[forest mantle]

6 HP TOTAL

HOW AM I DOING THIS

[boreal cape]

Skillfully

[forest mantle]

*i have all movement except shade dash tho

But still

[copper glacier]

you are [a] hollow knight [player]

[forest mantle]

HOLY

This is my second playthrough tho

My main on ps5

[boreal cape]

That's really good for a second playthrough

[forest mantle]

Thx

But holy s***

[boreal cape]

You're welcome

[forest mantle]

Now im a try doing it to watchers *and fail miserably probabaly i suck at watchers lmao

[copper glacier]

"failure is temporary" (as your bio says)

[boreal cape]

I've beaten the game a few times and still don't trust them without my 3rd nail

[forest mantle]

I dont either but im a bs it

I got 2 of them down as my best with 0 nail upgrades with 5 charm notches

IF IT CAN BLEED IT CAN DIE

[boreal cape]

Better than what I could do, I wish you luck

[forest mantle]

Thx

[tight mesa]

Throw yourself at that wall until it breaks

[forest mantle]

My charms for uumuu were soul eater and spore shroom

idk why spore shroom

[copper glacier]

if it works dont mess with it

[boreal cape]

It's not the worst one notch charm

[forest mantle]

Exactly

Anyways im a try to get the most braggging rights as possible lmao and beat the game this way

[royal dome]

This is the sixth time this has happened
It just sits there, it has collision too

Oops forgot to rotate

[copper glacier]

THATS HAPPENED TO ME ON RADIANT RUNS AND IT PISSES ME OFF

[boreal cape]

It looks funnier this way

[boreal cape]

Worst possible time for that to happen

[honest shale]

hehe funne sword glitch

[light gale]

have any of yall ever heard someone's reason to try a no dash challenge be that the radiance is a moth and its called the MOTHwing cloak?

[royal dome]

Same for me

[copper glacier]

fun to pogo tho

[light gale]

cuz someone should

[foggy sable]

as in, like, dashless absrad?

[copper glacier]

i think you need mothwing to get to absrad (without mods)...?

[light gale]

im not saysing abs rad im just saying beating the game without the cloak to not give into the moth

[royal dome]

Idk if it’s possible but if hypothetically you got the shade cloak without the mothwing cloak would you gain a dash?

[copper glacier]

i think you need mothwing for shade bc its a upgrade

[boreal cape]

I've had this question but for ssoul before vs, because it's the only spell where the base isn't required

[foggy sable]

low% route doesn't get cloak

[honest shale]

it just skips vs entirely

[boreal cape]

I'm going to guess a lot of shade skips

[subtle glacier]

greyfire my overworld knowledge goat

[foggy sable]

hi choom

[foggy sable]

just one I think

[boreal cape]

Good to know

[honest shale]

not if you can get there without shade cloak

[boreal cape]

Surprising

[fiery trench]

hey, for hkmp is hamachi advised or no

[honest shale]

id assume it just gives it to you

[subtle glacier]

the only shade skip in low% is blue lake with claw

[vagrant grail]

I hate literally everything about white palace. Literally everything.

[stable zenith]

hi

[vagrant grail]

That’s it, I think it’s a terrible area and there isn’t a single positive redeeming value about it.

[royal dome]

How come, I think it’s well designed other than a few parts

[boreal cape]

You get to sit on a throne

[subtle glacier]

low% does do a shit ton of fireball stuff tho

[fair minnow]

Music is nice

[vagrant grail]

Every bit of music is nice though, it’s hollow knight

[boreal cape]

I forgot about fireball skips

[sweet blaze]

[vagrant grail]

That’s like saying the good part about a fast food joint is that the food is fast

you expect that

[sweet blaze]

Choooom

[vagrant grail]

I don’t care how well designed it is, it’s infuriating.

[copper glacier]

well the white palace is a palace

[vagrant grail]

Well, how well designed it might be, because I don’t even think it’s particularly well designed

[royal dome]

It absolutely is, there’s just a few weird points like the little timing corridors

[vagrant grail]

Now granted, I am not that good at this game so maybe this is a bit harsh and I’m not that cultured to speak on it, but I despise every last second I have to be in here

[royal dome]

Wait until bro finds out about the path of pain

[copper glacier]

i hated it until i completed it, then going back was quite fun to do again

[patent rain]

Should 1-4eb be done before p5 for lifeblood

[fair minnow]

Honestly way easier than white palace

[royal dome]

I enjoyed it from the beginning really

[honest shale]

no

[hollow nova]

I love White Palace but the difficulty spike for a game that doesn't have much platforming is frustrating yeah

[boreal cape]

I don't think its worth

[vagrant grail]

At least the path of pain is something you choose to suffer through for no other reason but you wanna suffer

[patent rain]

Is it easier to do atleast

[royal dome]

I don’t understand that at all but it isn’t that bad that’s true

[copper glacier]

i hated pop more than the palace. the regular palace was fine.

[vagrant grail]

The ending I actually like is locked behind this trash

[hollow nova]

Its very useful

[royal dome]

It’s quite fun actually

For me at least

[hollow nova]

You're also gonna need to get familiar with the bosses anyways

[vagrant grail]

yeah, because you go in for difficulty and it gives it plenty

I dreaded even coming to the palace (partially because I suck and so it’s extra intimidating), but I wanna get the ending I like

[royal dome]

Also in my case it actually made me better against bosses, I never really pogoed until after I did the path of pain

[vagrant grail]

So I don’t have much of a choice

[copper glacier]

look, try and enjoy it a little, adding to your hate is going to make it more miserable

[boreal cape]

Pogoing was my life line for most of the game, you should've seen me fight THK for the first time

[vagrant grail]

I’m trying my best as is.

[royal dome]

And take breaks, nobody is forcing you to play the game

[copper glacier]

except spite.

[tight mesa]

The world wants you to make mistakes.
Take breaks to spite the world

[royal dome]

Spite radiant no nail arts no spells dashless wingless all bindings 10x hp

[copper glacier]

thats different. that is hell. you must leave hell sometimes to conquer it.

[ashen ginkgo]

I don’t think dashless wingless p5 is possible radiant

[tight mesa]

Omg hi lettuce

[foggy sable]

technically it is

[ashen ginkgo]

Absrad climb fucks you over surely

[foggy sable]

you can damage boost with the carefree

[ashen ginkgo]

ew

[patent rain]

Are ab or hitless pantheon runs harder

[foggy sable]

you do need claw though

[royal dome]

Hitless

[ashen ginkgo]

[royal dome]

By far

[foggy sable]

you said possible, not a good idea

[tight mesa]

Seems bullshit and rng

[royal dome]

Bc where 1 boss radiant is manageable, you have to be able to do that boss radiant CONSISTENTLY

And do that for all of the bosses

[foggy sable]

you only need 1 trigger iirc

[copper glacier]

in a row.

[foggy sable]

so it is a 90% chance if set up properly

[patent rain]

Fair

[royal dome]

With the nerves equivalent to a nuclear bomb

[patent rain]

So radhog should be done before r5

[copper glacier]

anyway i go to bed now goodnight

[boreal cape]

Goodnight

[royal dome]

Not just that, each and every one practiced until you can do radiant back to back to back on every single one

[patent rain]

When ppl do r5 do they just quit after a hit or install a mod

[royal dome]

Doing radiant once isn’t sufficient, that just means you can

[royal dome]

Probably a mix of both? I could never so idk

[patent rain]

Nothing stops u from using overcharmed on radiant right

[foggy sable]

depends

[patent rain]

?

[plush crown]

15 trys....

[patent rain]

Sounds about right

[foggy sable]

well to take an example of some of the active r5 players here, lune quit hk, genio went to modded, I went to low equipment and bindings

[plush crown]

am i a sigma now?

[knotty ravine]

r5 sucks ass

let this be ur lesson

[patent rain]

Depends on who u ask

[plush crown]

what if im asking u

[royal dome]

They meant for the r5 run how they make it radiant

[patent rain]

Ye

[knotty ravine]

ohhhh

[foggy sable]

see, I read it as when people do the run what then

[plush crown]

thanks

[foggy sable]

because that is how it is written

[knotty ravine]

yea u just like dnail

[royal dome]

Yeah I understand how you got there

[knotty ravine]

er, dgate

[patent rain]

I said after a hit tho

[royal dome]

I always forget to set that up

[patent rain]

Although reasonable

[plush crown]

90% 31h 30m

[foggy sable]

but that also depends because some people finish runs after a hit, some people reset on the first hit

there are lots of methods of doing it

[patent rain]

O

[foggy sable]

if you mean how people reset you can dream gate out or just die

[plush crown]

is that good ?

[patent rain]

you can dgate out a pantheon??

[foggy sable]

yes

[royal dome]

Progress, progress

[foggy sable]

it puts you at pantheon entrance

[plush crown]

i got the 3 endings

[royal dome]

There’s 1 more (and 1 variation)

[patent rain]

Theres more but only the one where u just beat him normally and the radiance matter honestly

[plush crown]

i mean i want to atleast 100% the game

[patent rain]

Endings dont give percentage

[plush crown]

the progress of doing does tho right ?

[patent rain]

Getting voidheart process yes

The endings themselves no

But who wants to miss out on the radiance first playthrough anyway

[ashen ginkgo]

Except p5

P5 has no percentage attached

[patent rain]

Not there yet

[royal dome]

I recommend at least trying to get the pure nail if you haven’t already, getting all the charms, and maxing out your masks and soul

[wispy sky]

🟥 S Tier (Brutal / Peak Difficulty)
Absolute Radiance
Pure Vessel
Nightmare King Grimm

These demand near-perfect execution. Most players hit a wall here.

🟧 A Tier (Very Hard, but Learnable)
Sisters of Battle
Radiance
Watcher Knights

Still extremely tough, but more consistent once patterns click.

🟨 B Tier (Challenging Skill Checks)
Lost Kin
Traitor Lord
Grey Prince Zote

These can feel chaotic or punishing, but aren’t as mechanically demanding as A/S tier.

[ashen ginkgo]

It an acronym
Hard to spoil with an acronym

[wispy sky]

this is what chatgpt said about hollo wknight bosses

[plush crown]

missing one soul and one mask i think and like 9 charms

[ashen ginkgo]

I absolutely could not care less

[patent rain]

I meant we're talking about thk endings

[royal dome]

I disagree slightly

[wispy sky]

i just wanted to say something 😭

[ashen ginkgo]

And I gave my genuine opinion

[royal dome]

Have you done the flower quest yet?

[patent rain]

Should lifeblood be done before p4 or p5

[subtle glacier]

are you an AI

[royal dome]

I didn’t lol

[patent rain]

Are YOU?

[plush crown]

i dont think ik what that is ?

[royal dome]

No but I am

[ashen ginkgo]

henlo choombotter

[royal dome]

Then you haven’t, cool

[patent rain]

I feel like I don't lose much from it bc p5 would take a while anyway

[ashen ginkgo]

chotterbotter

[honest shale]

what did i just read and why is it so wrong

[plush crown]

so what is my goal now

[wispy sky]

blame chatgpt

[royal dome]

I feel like outside of bindings it’s kinda unnecessary
