ab is more complex
ye and that just naturally makes you faster
nail strikes spam. nail strikes to spell to nail strikes. to nail art to spell to nail strikes
Mother's day is today, and I didn't buy anything for her
I hate not having a job
I've never tried to be faster, just more consistent
ye speed is passive
and it just happens that the two are aligned
accuracy is everything
Ggs
ye exactly
ty
shouldnt be the standard for a kid
gg
just spend time with her
just tell her that you value her and spend time with her. Not every gift needs to be material
I also haven't been given much actual advice for the fight besides look at other people who play more aggressively which tend to be speedrunners. Like. That's the footage I find for the most part.
Also punish every attack? It feels like I already do.
Which doesn't super help
Because I see all that footage and go "wow that's a lot of stuff that happened in 30 seconds. I don't know how to replicate even 60% of that consistently".
you are watching top players. We are giving advice way lower than that
It's overwhelming
you are just shielding so hard against it that you won't let us talk
i hate uuwuu
Specifics please
I know I know I just wanted to have something cool to give her because I never did anything like that
stuff like start the hornet defender fight with cyclone slash extended to stagger her instantly
or using cyclone slash to double hit the minions to insta kill them, and using descending dark to kill minions in the last phase
and how to intercept collector with an abyss shriek mid air for damage
that's how we speed things up without top player stuff
and knowing how to do soul management to instantly land spells when needed based on opening
to master quick cast etc
idk dude we are trying to help you, but its just not been fun talking to someone who sounds so defeated
and doesn't even entertain the idea of learning new strategies
that's how its coming across atleast
It's kinda hard to feel hopeful when you've been throwing yourself at the same wall for 5 years. =_=
well, we are doing this because its fun
its not a chore
its fun to get better at bosses for us and to optimize things to become better
Sometimes it feels like one
winning just comes on its own
then just take a break
Which is why it's important to take breaks

Taking breaks is pretty good
I am still excited about this server teaching me new things about each boss
its just satisfying to get better and see how far you can go
I think I can get p5ab before the year ends
honestly same
My biggest limitation is my hardware
which sounds outlandish now that I say it out loud that I could even dream of p5ab
I hope you can manage that
or work around that
what's the issue with the hardware?
Low fps

I still think it's impressive that I did P5 with 25 fps on average
it is
...sly was a slyde show
Stupid candles

I usually try to optimize for consistency over speed and it does show tbh
I can win most any fight with minimal damage taken, often 0 because I try hard to prioritize knowing pretty much every pattern of chaos to control for
I don't do attempts on a pantheon until I can beat each boss in it at least 6 times in a row with 90% health remaining.
I've taken year long breaks occasionally in my 5 odd years of playing. I come back, realize I still can't, and quit again.
I appreciate the advice, I'm just feeling kinda dead and tired of hearing that stupid laugh
oh we don't target speed either actually
do you want me to explain how?
Still dunno why Zote is easier than Collector AB for me but it is what it is
Try doing something new
Silksong is there
I don't know why Zote is fine
Sure
I think it's because the boss is fun
There's that, but I have heard people say GPZ is worse and I just don't get it
Ab zotelings die in 2 nail hits right
but ye gwyn, we aren't actually trying to go fast. In fact trying to actually go fast is the fastest way to death in all bindings. NEVER try to go fast. But instead, its much more about slower compounding speed. You learn to punish one attack better than before, and then add more. So naturally you reach a point where you can punish the boss every single time it decides to breathe in your direction. That automatically makes you faster. What you are saying implies you NEVER tried to get better in punishing the boss everytime. Its about accuracy. Speed is just muscle memory.
no joke you won't get past gruzmother in ab if you try to go fast lol
I think you can attest to that
It's something like this
gui, I don't mean to be rude but why is that handwriting so bad
Oh, I hear that every day, don't worry
did you never have classes to teach you about writing spacing?
I just don't care
I can write well if I do it slow
I just write extremely fast
...its really as simple as keeping letters next to each other in a way they don't touch each other
speed is not harmed by that
and actually be on the line
Again, I don't care
ye that makes sense
sorry stuff like this just mattered a lot in our school
even influenced our final grades
That's bullshit
Ah
So I think I got kinda misunderstood? I still try and get better at punishing attacks. Fun fact, I used to wait out PV staggers because I tried nail slaps at first and got bapped by him standing up so I switched to ddark because it's safer and also more damage. But I don't do swaps for riskier moves like that. I don't think that's a great idea because it tanks consistency. I'd rather go back to a default "do nothing" than insert a risky/greedy attack because that means dying
I want to attack more. I'm iffy on risky strats though
have you considered that when you get better the bosses start looking slower to you?
so that opens up attack opportunities you didn't know?
but ye its not really about greed
cuz by that logic I am greedy and I am the opposite of greed
I would rather die than greed hits
They do look slower... I thought it was just me being calmer and knowledgeable rather than panicking
but 60 minutes for base p5 is unironically just kinda bad. You can do so much better. Heck you can try remotely more and you will do better. 60 minutes is just genuinely too horrendous to start thinking about p5ab
this looks fine imo
I've noticed that they look fast again when I come back from a break being rusty
If I me and the teacher can understand, then it's usable
I thought it was the rust
that is kinda what grey and the rest mean by "idk how to explain it because I just do it in flow"
the bosses just look slow enough to them to see opportunities that we can't yet
the only reason i can read what i write down is that i remember it vaugely
that is just what practice does
your's is much better than that
Also fuck writing in any ways that's not cursive
I'm going to be frank and say it's probably closer to 40mins
I don't remember the exact time because I cleared P5
5 years ago
Its just so damn slow
then why are you trying for p5ab right now if you can't consistently beat p5
nah, imma diagree on that, if id write cursive thered be problems
that sounds like throwing yourself into the depths of hell
derust with normal p5 first
I can beat P5 consistently
I haven't done any recently
I can do P5 consistently if I have high fps
you can do p3-4ab right?
and do you have radiant hall of gods?
Yes
High would be 60 stable
kondy how many hours do you have?
No
I'm too lazy to do the bosses I find boring
p5 consistency is so far from p5ab imo, i cannot forsee dying on p5, but im ass with ab
like 500
jesus
i like randos
I feel better about myself and that kinda makes me feel bad
cuz I can do p1ab to p4ab in a row now
Fingers were a bit stiff today but
It was ok
The strats are in place, now it's just the execution
nice
p5ab just broke me so fucking hard
I have a lot of big names Radiant-ed at least
Because I like the fun ones
But I don't Radiant fucking Gorb
Or Marmu
Or God Tamer
the main challenges in p5ab will be markoth, zote, collector, and absolute radiance
doing overwold for a long time, than taking a long break and going back to godhome kinda did me in, but im making relative fast progress
So 3 I'm generally good at.
1 that haunts me
oh do you have toggleable bindings?
Yea
to practice?
I use it to practice
have you beaten absrad all bindings?
thats why you should do anyrad
Oof
actual devil on my shoulder smh
helo
it would make ab fun again
Hello
I did that because I got annoyed with Collector, yes
do you not use cyclone against collector?
hi @rustic salmon @frozen storm hru
doing well enough
u?
Ye
I died cuz i jumped instead of dashing π
anyways, in ab in p5 if you can consistently no hit hive knight and elder hu, you should have 7 masks at the VERY least going to collector
more like 9
doing fine thx, fumbled 3 climbs today but that ok gleeful
shii, getting to climb so often is already very impressive
hey end
I think the most consistent collector ab strat is this one but not necesarily the easiest to learn
https://youtu.be/LGJ1E3E1Uzk
double pogo
yayyyy im good
hi dk hru
if you learn to fight collector properly it is fine
you did tell me it was too hard for me to learn back then
@foggy sable
good thanks hru
It's the nail art I haven't entirely figured out how to aim yet so that's probably my entire issue tbh
Yeah, you have to practice the βfiller bossβ too, it makes the hardest ones easier
might try now idk
you have to be aware of falling placements, I think for p5ab cyclone is easier to learn
i actually haven't lost a single run to collector since the first ever p5ab run
but double pogo is more consistent
Great Slash and Dash Slash are my goats
Cyclone is... ugh.
fine thx
I think I am going to proud of that
so if you don't die to collector no real reason to change
well he eats my masks
it would be good to carry my lifeblood masks
after him
so I do have a reason to learn
also that pantheon includes 9 clears hitless in a row which I am a bit proud of
will be trying this
hell yeah
also the double pogo just looks cool
you have to admit that part
it does
see this is why grey regularly scares me
tbh I learnt the strat in that pantheon so the first like 10-20 fights are me learning
shit I thought was beyond human is apparently casual to her
but trying pantheons is also why variety streams are boring to watch now
and ONE MORE P5 STREAM IN THE CATEGORY IS NON ENGLISH
WHY??
I should stream some p5ab either in discord or somewhere else tbh
I still have to practice collector ab without nail arts
one more r5ab attempt?
more like pb attempt
It's gotta be new people who picked up Skong
Beat it
Realized that there's a prequel
Grabbed it
And are only now doing P5?
no like they DON'T do p5
What
they don't even TOUCH godhome many times
idk why its so rampant in english variety streamers that being bad at games is content
maybe its the culture which I am just not a part of
becaues they think doing pantheons is masochistic
lol
I think I will be a part of hitless pantheons of silksong when it comes out
For the first time I won't be late to the party lol
I don't stream because I'm not good at games and I'm a really slow learner and it'd be painful to subject people to my actual dumbassery. Trust me. It'll just be frustrating to watch. I laugh at myself a lot
Ex: So I first try the Loretta fight in Elden Ring by the way of: bonk stick OP plz nerf. There's a platform with a chest on it. I open the chest. I turn around to leave and miss the ladder and jump off the ledge and die.
I've managed to miss that ladder in subsequent playthroughs where I remember OH THAT LADDER when already falling
I wouldn't say you are a slow learner though
id watch your stream 
A better word would be a reluctant learner
Remember that you are doing p5ab.
This isn't a simple target of feat
I likely take more hours in the game to reach the same feat
ok im not saying anything as its hk discussion, but people have already done every boss in the game in a row hitless with mods
I have done that too
Just not in a row
Ok my cousin got to 50% Grimm that's nice
I think I have around 700 HK hours. 100 of that is dedicated to Collector AB. So 600 hours to REACH p5AB.
most achievements get overlooked cause the ceiling of ppl skill her is just that high, like p5ab is so far out of reach for most people playing the game, but some1 would come here and see greyfire attempting r5ab, and think thats normal
No you actually don't try to push the skill cap as aggressively. It's not a wrong thing because no one likes to be challenged a lot. But this Convo is proof of how dense you can sometimes be about things like that
Just push it more and you will improve more
the truth is anything past 112 can be considered quite difficult from a non biased standpoint
Ye even embrace the void is top 5%
Dont worry I have 900 and have not attempted p5ab
This chat is just top 0.1%
and thats not even very true, its closer to like 3
Including people that pirated hk here
I'm pretty sure I have to bash my head against the wall until the wall gives out
I can't bash my head any harder against the wall from the way I look at it
i still think its gotten legit around 3%
I mean we are giving you the hammer
Just have to dig through it one bonk at a time π
You just refuse to take it sometimes
This entire discussion about optimization is just that
Ask for advice and stuff basically. Tells you the weak points in the wall
im basing that off of the steel heart1 having like 4%
.>
<.<
True...
How are you genuinely so much better than me
reasonable person π€
I have a ludicrous 2.4k hours on Crypt of the Necrodancer
Apparently I am already a near anomaly, so wtf is kaiser
Buh
Yeah my cousin has Grimm in the bag already
But also like afaik im the fastest oat so eh
@melone
makes sense
r5 in 200 hrs
170
Keeping in mind I have played that game since I was in my teens in highscool
I'm 23 now
What does oat stand for
of all time
Dude was built to play this game
Probably the youngest one too I assume
we are close in age, that cool
Is hk your first metroidvania
im sure theres some younger
Nah theres a couple 13 year olds lowk
Wow
ON RADIANT
We got a monstah here apparently
I think eloki did r5 at 14 but theres probably someone else
Yes
Hi chomp btw
Well monstahl did do smth else
This is just a guesstimate
Hi gui
Yeah im lwk unc
Hyd?
Im doing well wbu
I'm doing good too
Yea it was
But I played Celeste before that for 600 hours because I really like to win out of spite towards myself
And I played a lot of Crypt of the Necrodancer before Celeste
Those 3 games are why I'm allergic to WASD controls apparently. Arrow keys for life.
Monstahl is very cool
I'm not that cool
just curious, would anyone be interested in watching me die over and over again
Where?
hk2?
I would but i js ate and wanna sleep
did you finish sj?
yea sure hk2
No i mean how r u planning to die
Daily Brazil fact: Brazil was the last country in America to abolish slavery
to an orb
Any rad 2.0
so to an orb yea
Alr i can watch
I don't play modded Celeste. So nope. I have been working on gold berries. Current project is 7C gold.
How do you mess up can and can't
what have you got so far?
Autocorrect idk how
Cool
i feel like 7c is a relatively early golden, not like id know too well, i havent done many of the base goldens
All C Sides. Dashless 1A. No B Sides. 1-6A.
nice, thats impressive
i do recommend sj tho, its genuinely a good addition to the game
7A is the longest I've been working on so far and my PB is a 1 death run.
I'm sleepy and mixing up letters. I do mean 7A
Oh I did play celeste a lot
I can probably get 7A gold pretty easily with my new keyboard because my one death was caused by my left arrow key choosing to fail at an annoying time
On my old and dying keyboard
Whats the keyboard? Linear switches?
Old keyboard is a now dying Razer Blackwidow
New bitch is a Keychron I shoved Kailh Whites into because I like light and clicky
Nice
ah i feel you, i cannot change kb, im so used to my current1, but its pretty much crying for mercy at this point
I was struggling in Silksong because my arrow keys were dying. The switch itself was dying and not responding anymore. So I'd hit left to turn and move and Hornet would not do that, often leading to unfortunate deaths
@bitter jolt no dark at dual light pillars?
I'll join for a bit
Can't stay long though, but i do wanna watch a bit
This is especially not funny when you go for a pogo and the down input doesn't happen
1.0 looks aight but wtf is this
i mean you can but its an extremely difficult timing that's not worth if theres a chance that i can dodge without it
this just looks like a crayon scratch of a boss
Crawled my way through act 2 while fighting the strongest boss in the game at all times: a dying razer keyboard you can't fix because it's a delicate lil spider
I can take some pride in that
forgetting to demod is so sad
Sk?
?
I run hitless without mods like godseeker+
Yea
Just noting my keyboard issues affecting that game a lot as well as Celeste
Because I decided to use the same keybinds for every 2D platformer
Including the failing arrow keys
What does godseeker+ do?
I think that is a good idea
Though you got a new kb now so you'll be better than ever
I know it allows you to practice bindings on individual bosses among other things
some qol features
Wow the movement and facedances are sublime I'm ngl
Yea
I am very happy with the new keyboard
I don't want to look at Mount Fay again without the new keyboard
Because it was sure funny to have Ascendants Grip equipped to chill at heat lamps and then suddenly drop like a rock because the left arrow key decided to die suddenly
i accidentally searched up hollow neighbour instead of hello neighbor π
Good for you man
Unfortunately I've not played sk so...
Those are probably the difficult areas in sk
dont mention skong things outside of spoiler tagsand preferably not at all in this channel
It's like if your jump button just chose to not work while doing PoP
Yeah i see
Gotcha
this is not a good sign
although given yesterday was a good run it is not unexpected
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAa
I find that my first run of the day is usually the best and the rest is downhill from there
whats your pb grey
how are you so good at sword rain...
tyrant phase 2
im ass what are you on
hmmmm nice
Im comparing to myself who can barely handle sword rainin 1.0
So that's how you beat vfk optimally
Thanks for that, I'll be stealing the movement
Anyway I'm going to bully Markoth later today for being a coward.
Grey uses narts 
I love bullying Markoth
there we go
Oops I'm low on data todat
F
π
So great slash into shade soul for gorb
i ike to use cyclone too
cyclone best nart
Oh wow
My probably now lukewarm take is that Markoth is only as chaotic as you are and you do most entirely control the fight.
Good luck both of u!
cya o/
GPZ feels similar and I can't explain why that is
I gtg too
A bit sleepy
Thanks for the stream both of you, and good luck
ty
what happened'
Thats good to hear
Guhhhhh
amazing
Brazil numero uno!!!! (Jk)
Ok
Hi alp
both oro and mato died to the same DDark
no death to marmu 
aaaaaaa scary
imma stick around for this attempt
? another run past collector no way
Hey guys can I have the 112% map thing I'm kinda lazy to search .. + the images are low quality so
well that sucks
@foggy sable
Ty twin

any run past collector has a lot of nerves
whats hollow knight
wait did you die too

ill have to go now, i belive in the r5ab run soonβ’
byee
grey will get r5ab shes the goat
I couldnt find enough context but is this tc saying they wouldnt balance every charm? #hk-discussion message
I trying to understand what the people in vc are talking about but my attention span is too tiny
nvm its not
6 hits
π¦¦
67
@subtle glacier
7 hits, that is nice
if I had kept an eye on soul I would have been fine
61
anyway I'm leaving vc
thanks for streaming :gleeful:
lowk undodgeable combo tho laser into orbs is evil
67
3 sub 10 attempts out of the last 3 that left p1 is nice
i dont think so
i want resenha
where is the resenha
who
It was an unfortunate combination but I should have played around it so I was a bit silly
p5ab is like, 55-65 minutes
I'm just blocking tbh
67
30 mins of boredom interupted by collector and then boredom until gpz again no? π
sounds hellish ,,,
skill issue? Xd
then it gets very difficult with collector and is difficult from there until end
is this p5ab or r5ab
marmu doesnt sound THAT bad 
umm maybe I could do in like 45-50 minutes
because my fastest r5ab attempt is about 55
and I would expect to be a fair amount faster
whats ur pb
in time?
hits
next attempt is 0 hits i believe
it was a rock wasnt it
...yes
No
yes
it was a 2 hit though so
yrue
Should I exist
Ponder
yes
Ok
i dont get how u still perform on vcc
guys do you think this is a fraction or division
same thing

No image perms?
not that I want to see it given the description
what equipment means underpowered to you?
1 extra mask and 1 nail upgrade
spells? presumably just vs?
Radiant or r5
yup
okie well gg.
That's very funny for FC
Also curious what you overcharmed with.
40 hits or something it was per stagger
yeah 40 hits
i was there for a while π
though you could reasonably deal 135 damage exxtra on getup
somehow did p5 soul binding in one attempt
congrats
i think quick slash and mark of pride
good stuff
Quickslash and the best charm :D
2 more bindings until i have all the bindings... charmless is gonna be a hassle
mark of pride my beloved
aw
i can fix him
tbh i forgot how tanky FC was
lasst time i fought them i forgot too. I had shade soul and flukenest plus shaman... i sucked really badly though...
flukenest is fun
Fish
sucks its gated behind an obnoxous area
suprisingly i found that it was easier if i overcharmed with it then just not have it
overcharmed js makes people play better atp
in this case i think it was th fact the first phase was like twice as short, the first phase being the main difficulty...
im calling it a phase but i shouldnt...
r5
I already have radhog
I wonder if I should redo it a few times as practice
idk why but its like an inevitablity that I get hit there
there are a few bosses like that
watcher knights, oro and mato, marmu(fuck this ball), oblobbles
where i am sorta destined to get hit
surprisingly markoth is not a problem anymore
the dude just disintegrates in full gear
neither is zote
its these idiots
D: not all of use are good enough at the game it seems that simple
hk's main flaw is sometimes its impossible to not get hit/ just die
like ESPECIALLY with watcher knights if they're in sync
can redo radhog in 3 hours but gets hit to watchers
what in the actual hell lmao
what is this weird curse
hmm ive never encountered a situation where i wasnt to blame for taking the damage
I would say do something like 04r or rab watcher knights
learn how to handle them both being alive at once
good idea

its hell, rab is hell she's trying to trick you
or should I do just some randoms for a bit
I have rab zote so
it is a fight where you just lose track of them so even if you don't go all the way and do 04 or 04r just being in the fight for a long time you will learn how to track both at once
honestly nothing else has been that bad
you consider anyrad fun
Im correct to do so
btw why did you give up on r5?
Cause I didnt find it fun... like taking hits to gruz mother was so frustrating
I just like decided it wasnt worth it
also grey this is a highly specific question related to p5ab. How do you handle being just worn down by bosses in that thing? I have enough practice and stuff, but something about constantly going deep into it would just pile up hits and end up with me not having any lifeblood left for the main bosses
when I start taking hits I often just pause the game
it happens so passively that its hard to even pinpoint what's the mistake
interesting
or narrow my goals down
it is no longer getting a good pantheon but just doing the next boss hitless
and what about for p5ab?
and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
haiiiiiiiithooornnsnssss::33333
hiiiiiiii
the excitement is contagious
for p5ab I just did attempts and things happened
actually made me feel rejuvenated
lmao
low hits is the best comparison and i just pause mid run for a minute and recompose
tbh i've only done radiant mantis lords n radiant grimm, then i cant do ascended gruz mother, somethings wrong with me π
makes sense
no that is expected almost
she is just an inconsistent boss
especially because things spiral fast and it sucks
gruz mother feels like anyrad 3.0 absoloute radiance + pure vessel ong ong
just the age old take it one step at a time
yep
yeah I am expecting a bit too much from myself I guess
Okay I will remember that
it does feel rewarding to do any boss hitless in r5 though
I will admit that
it never really feels boring
r5 gets bad when the start is boring
the midgame and endgame is never the unfun part
I was an uma player. I am used to rerolling things for 19 hours
so this is kinda nothing to me
its just the first 2 bosses anyway
then it gets consistent
in r5ab I consider galien the end of earlygame so
btw grey why did you even choose to do r5ab?
I never really did
cuz that is probably like atleast a 100 times harder than base p5ab
I was running p5ab low hits just for fun while doing charmless r5
and after getting r5 charmless I was just looking for a good p5ab run and ended up with something like a 5 hit
I've never tried to grind it out really though
same with all the other challenges, I never decide oh I'm going to do x challenge it is always a slow descent
I haven't
things like that just..happen
you probably could
I was going for it for a bit but hurt my hand and didn't come back to it
maybe even get fcg
could yes but while I enjoy hk I just keep running it
there are always more things to do
whats fc
full clear
wait i forgot what happens after u get moonberry
do u just walk back or do u spawn back at the start of fwfw
you beat the level
wait fr? π¨βπ¦²
moonberry room is basically an alternative final room
which I would say is much harder than the original final room
and is the hardest room of celeste base game
probably even beyond 7C
jelly nuetral drops make moonberry easy though
ye true
and then there's the extra golden room
I can't word the amount of nerves that thing brings out of you
okay but I'm scared what the nerves at absrad or gpz will be for r5ab
probably insanity
oh why?
and I did it at like 2am on new years
it was back when I streamed I basically streamed as much as uni allowed
good times but also bad
I actually cried, it meant more than it perhaps should have
giving up on it felt so bad
basically every feeling of challenge running in that run
It's you.
perhaps
idk how to even react to that
Wait, did I join at a rather inappropriate time?
that feeling is almost unimaginable
just reminiscing
I wonder how r5ab will be
probably the hardest thing you have ever done
Horrid.
getting it I mean
ye I mean that
running it is less bad now I did learning
the closest feeling that comes to mind is feeling a weird kind of emptiness
almost impossible to understand logically that its over
I'll have to find another hobby/thing to run
i don't think there would be left in hk after that
Surely 112% APB.
except maybe speedrunning
I was thinking 107
so all but pantheons?
yes
but that is still ages away
maybe if getting runs past collector isn't a fluke less time than ages
true
R045 duh
I imagine it is much harder to mod is the thing

I'd rather not even do p045
Yeah I was joking
maybe p045 could be fun though
Levi
anyways I actually reached marmu in a run without taking a hit
r5?
very nice
tragic
I know a good marmu challenge for learning the fight and not at all suffering
no.
...not even a maybe..
nah I would much rather learn actual basketball
Oh nice
maybe I'll do one nail damage god tamer sometime so I stop being stupid in it
I feel like watchers are a binary, either you understand the fight or you don't
and all understanding it takes is a hard enough challenge
which unfortunately is terrible
yk what let's not make this r5. just make it to the end with overcharmed shell binding
if I can just do that, I am happy
good goal
I have never done that before
Gl
If your doing overcharmed, are you gonna run fury of the fallen and just tank at 1 hp?
nah
just make it to the end alive
fairs
which means I would most likely need to no hit the final three
@foggy sable funny enough my first attempt of this ended because I forgot to turn off the inferno king grimm fight
so that creature was waiting for me instead of nkg
ikg...
well running fury of the fallen means you have enough damage output to kill each watcher night before the next one spawns
I did that once
so you never have to fight both at the same time
i am preparing for r5 not f5
you can bait out normal slashes and often just kill straight up
but it is a bit random
im dumb, what does r5 mean?
What are y'all talking about?
damageless p5
ah
Damn i'm never getting to thatπ₯²
im preparing for that too lol
it is truly a run
Huh???
hitless p5
TRUST ME, I UNDERSTOOD THAT PART
lmao
right now im doing hitless trial of fools
NANIIII?!?!?!
20 minute run?
!!( ; οΎ)οΎ οΎ
more like 30 minutes
no cloak, wings and claw make it take a long ass time
old nail too
how do you deal with the mantis petra in the no floor section
Isn't it impossible to do p5 without that?
well get there when we get there π
im pretty close to the no floor section though right now
with no spell or way to stall I'm not sure if it is doable
okay lost kin to wd hitless
ive gotten to the end of wave 12 but soul twister is a pain
rip
il have to see, one moment
no like I Got that done hitless
oh damn, nice!
now tyrant to nkg
markoth I remember being rough in r5 but now idk
the irony that the least concerning of this line up is nkg
that will never not be funny to me
it is a bit funny
Sometimes when i'm angry i go on hollow knight in the hall of gods and just wank the shit out of him with no charms
Makes me feel good
No?
Am i the only one?
Why is it silence?
(-_-)
I honestly dont know
It might be doable with insane pogos on the attacks
you get one armoured squit to pogo on which might be able to get you on the mantis early enough to kill, but the odds are that the squit will just dash into the spikes and die meaning your only hope is pogoing the attack
i think it might just be doable though
either way il give it a shot
14 masks
lots of masks
Hi
bro does p5 hitless and says "easier than i thought" π
ye p5 hitless is much harder lol
but ye nkg to absrad were hitless
so that's good
nice work
PV is weird sometimes hes the easiest boss in the game for me and sometimes he brings up high hell to smite my p5 runs
Well back to PoP practice today
Goal is rooms 1 and 2 in sub two minutes
real
How did you count?
after each fight I would just note down the number lol
Nicee
9 hit pantheon is insane
9 hits is good
Hitless is coming
hitless all bindings 
that is someone else's goal
i can't word how good it felt to bash the shit out of fc
don't say that again
for ending the p5ab run
I love full equipment fc

the run sucks
i dont use my spells enough
wdym?
do you know about the humble lord and savior quick cast?
I was gonna say using them feels weird to me
Except for nkg puffer
i have never heard of this what
i know its there but as said i dont use enough spells
there are very specific moments i use spells
just say if you use it or not
yes
p5ab hitless is evil
its more convineint to hit on controller anyways so no way in hell anyones hitting the regular spell button π
on keyboard its F. on xbox its RB and in playstation its R1
use it.
it is just better
it will save you SO MUCH HEADACHE
Which button is jump out of the four? Maybe the bottom one
What about quickcast?
what does it do? How does it work? Why have i never heard of this??
true
removes the start delay of spells :3
and turns shade soul into a machine gun
making it easier to do things like spell nail combos
the normal cast button waits for your input to end to check if you are healing or casting
quick cast is when the button is pressed
so its INSTANT
does it make you heal faster?
Is it RA,RB, top, left, right which one?
zero spell runs were always boring to me though
cus using spells properly takes skill to begin with
well a lot of the cooler skips in the game require spells
well its just for trial of fools
0 spell runs have their appeal but niche
it just makes it harder
I am so bad at using spells I have a pure nail build
ye I just love watching someone use everything they have to win
do you know about quick cast?
Nail spell combos are fire
thats very fair
hk is such a good game but I will rate it 9/10 just because of not telling us about quick cast from the start
true theres nothing more satisfying then absolutely melting a vengefly king in pantheons with shade soul shamans + unbreeakable strength nail
imma need to test out how this works after i finish ToF
lol
I use abyss shriek on vfk, if it's one
If it's two i move pretty awkwardly
Will have to practice that part
I do, I'm 40 hours in and I rarely use spells even in boss fights
do you believe healing is a good idea then?
BUT SPELLS ARE LIFE!!!
Depends on the boss
spells are cracked
do you use soul only for healing and avoid spells to save it for something?
i'd say other than my major patience issues with bosses my main issue is underrestamating my spells
abyssal shriek, shade soul and d-dark all have insane damage output
d-dark gives you I-frames too
THATS WHAT IM SAYING!!
ima be honest i only heal if im at 2 masks
Where is the ddark ragebait message
I'm at 110% just a couple pantheons to go
I want that rn
last 2?
yeah your gonna need to use spells for p5
Why is that message classified as ragebait now. Do we just call all jokes ragebait
3 i think
that message is just great
5th dont give percent
i have no clue what we are refering to
no ragebait
do it anyway
then bam pure vessel hits you and you're done
cuz honestly it is just satisfying to beat
Why are you dying β οΈ to bosses π¨πΌ? You should just be using descending dark πΆ. Descending β¬οΈ dark πΆοΈ gives you iframes π which stop π you taking damage π. It also does aπ °οΈπ °οΈ lot of damage π’. Stop π dying β οΈ to video π»π»πΎ game πΎ bosses π¨πΌ and just use descending β¬οΈ dark π
I will I'm achievement hunting
Nah i call it ragebait, ik it's a joke
