[odd salmon]

What?

[agile drift]

No one even likes me I guess?

That's alright.

[foggy sable]

most normal hk gen message

[vestal sky]

if you were good weed then maybe

[agile drift]

Thank you.

[compact wasp]

you can find the reason in the mirror after that message

wait no that appeared rude

sorry about that

[odd salmon]

Deserved

[compact wasp]

ngl

I think r5 might need a level where I Should be able to beat p5ab consistently

like that thing genuinely needs to become near automatic

which...honestly might not be that hard to pull off

[honest shale]

(insert greyfire comparison here)

[compact wasp]

looking back at it p5ab in general was not the main threat here

[foggy sable]

different skillset really

[compact wasp]

it was the nerves in markoth and absrad

and the final three in general

[foggy sable]

once you learn ab boss fights you don't really unlearn them

[compact wasp]

yeah probably

also grey this might sound dumb, but it felt good to be actually nervous lol

man its been AGES since p5 has made me feel adrenaline

[foggy sable]

I think after my second p5ab clear I neverlost another one that wasn't a challenge run

[foggy sable]

it is interesting for sure

[compact wasp]

i still do not fully understand what made me do ab

idk I never really thought about this much while trying it

but after that its like a bucket is off my head

what made me even think I could do a SINGLE pantheon with all bindings

let alone the pantheon 5

idk I will think about that for a bit later

[shrewd nymph]

in a nutshell, yes

an r5 player typically cannot die in p5ab

[compact wasp]

ye understood

[foggy sable]

IF

they know how to fight ab bosses

[compact wasp]

well I do

I have a strat for every boss

but I might do p5ab a few more times

[shrewd nymph]

ofc

most r5 players do (and kinda should)

But there'd be some out there that dont

[compact wasp]

if you don't have a strat that can let you do ab then hitless expectations are stupid

[shrewd nymph]

If you're doing it as practise for r5 then its pointless

But if not then fair enough

[foggy sable]

not always

[compact wasp]

ye there are some exceptions

I will probably think about r5 2 days later

for now I will just enjoy the feeling of being done with p5ab

[foggy sable]

Bosses like gpz, markoth, collector, and others are fundamentally different ab

[compact wasp]

honestly even absrad to an extent

she is just so weak to spells that not having ddark on command changes a lot of things

[foggy sable]

doing p5ab does make r5 much easier

[compact wasp]

yeah

surprisingly

watching remto's r5ab helped a lot.

for later bosses

[foggy sable]

I don't believe in watching other peoples cleares personally

figuring things out is fun

[compact wasp]

for markoth and zote

specifically

everyone else I have done mostly on my own

just for those bosses it was so chaotic that I would get overwhelmed

[foggy sable]

it is a good thing for learning of course

[compact wasp]

i am going to just stop my head from normalizing this though

[shrewd nymph]

Oh i misread that

[compact wasp]

I am not going to sit here and pretend that p5ab is some sort of low tier achievement

[shrewd nymph]

Thought you were saying watching other runs is bad for learning

[compact wasp]

everyone here is just too cracked in comparison

[foggy sable]

it is the best way to learn things fast

but still

[shrewd nymph]

💀

[compact wasp]

look I made that mistake with beating p5 for the first time lol

which is why being in this server gave me such a weird inferiority complex

[shrewd nymph]

i mean there are some people who'd say p5ab isnt allat

But also none of them have beaten it

[compact wasp]

easier said than done

[shrewd nymph]

Unfortunately gets worse with r5

[compact wasp]

I mean we did meet an r5 faker

[low carbon]

r5 is easy

[compact wasp]

which was fucking hilarious

it probably is if you are remto or grey

[foggy sable]

r5 is not easy

[shrewd nymph]

Point in case

[foggy sable]

it is just something you can get better at

[compact wasp]

ye absolutely

btw can someone give me strats for each warrior dream to do them no hit?

[shrewd nymph]

except this guy is just your copy and paste 11yr old ragebaiter

[compact wasp]

I always thought they were so simple that I took them too casually

[shrewd nymph]

Theres been a few, moreso p5ab is just the most common fake

[compact wasp]

yeah

even the person who I met for the first time doing hollow knight, speedrunner literally all things I Could think of back then considers p5ab too hard

[low carbon]

Me?

[shrewd nymph]

who?

[compact wasp]

this was like 5 years ago

we aren't friends anymore

[shrewd nymph]

unfortunate

[low carbon]

What is r5

[tropic nest]

hitless p5

[low carbon]

Damn

Yeah thats easy

[shrewd nymph]

funny the 14th time

[sleek tide]

??? What caused this for all left maps to be here?

Even tho I didn't get to their place

[rare aurora]

why do i keep flip flopping between french and spanish bro

[digital grove]

ok but i also use like sometimes

[quartz cave]

yea those are synonymous

[quartz cave]

cause theyre kinda the same lang if u think about it

[digital grove]

why is fleasip different then

[polar summit]

What would change if the pale king was the kale king

[rare aurora]

why is my spotify trying to convince me tjat i’m an american white girl

[quartz cave]

idk how to explain it its like using :ahriwave: and :reksaipopcorn: in league

[quartz cave]

give in to the thought

[digital grove]

just said a whole lot of words

[quartz cave]

also what is it recommending is it sombr,

[vestal sky]

you gotta get fluent in hkcordian

[rare aurora]

but then i’d be an american

[quartz cave]

hmmmm but what about being a white girl

[heavy roost]

Only steelsloul and p5 achievements remaining

[rare aurora]

i am not white

[heavy roost]

Then i'll be free to finally buy silksong

[quartz cave]

what about being a girl

[rare aurora]

probably not

[quartz cave]

silkslop

[quartz cave]

hmmm

[heavy roost]

Gonna be silking my song so hard

[quartz cave]

i dont think listening to american white girl music makes you an american white girl ngl

[rare aurora]

rn? havana

[thorn ruin]

@quartz cave

[rare aurora]

the main issue is that i don’t like english pop at all

or english in general

hot take english only works in rock and metal

[vocal inlet]

mentally prepare yourself bro

[quartz cave]

thats not white girl music thats white mom music i think

[quartz cave]

@thorn ruin

[rare aurora]

moms are likely to be girls

[quartz cave]

no but there is a diff

[rare aurora]

idk man i don’t think i’m fit to be a mom either

[quartz cave]

when u become a mom ur music taste becomes diff

[heavy roost]

Ik

[quartz cave]

also there is diversity to the white girl music but the white mom has no variations

[rare aurora]

also there are people my age that are parents 😪

[vocal inlet]

bro is younger than their parents

[vocal inlet]

i hope you like it

[thorn ruin]

Oswald did you have lunch yet

[rare aurora]

give me french white girl music bro 🗣️

[quartz cave]

no i dont eat lunch

i only eat dinner

[thorn ruin]

That’s not healthy

[quartz cave]

been working for a couple of years now im fine

[heavy roost]

Who needs to eat when there is sunshine

[quartz cave]

what sunshine

it peaked at 6 °C today

[foggy sable]

brrrrr

[quartz cave]

or its going to peak*

[heavy roost]

Damn, feeling sorry for ya

[rare aurora]

[quartz cave]

its fine the summer is nigh

[thorn ruin]

Oh yeah true

[rare aurora]

but we do have a thunderstorm warning so that’s something

[quartz cave]

i love photosynthesising ❤️

[rare aurora]

the problem is that i’m out with shorts and didn’t know i am fucked

[quartz cave]

why are you ever wearing shorts outside

[rare aurora]

20° out rn?

[thorn ruin]

Why are you even wearing shorts in the first place

[quartz cave]

mosquitos and ticks and any bugs

[rare aurora]

doesn’t happen

[quartz cave]

shorts at home r fine

[heavy roost]

City usually lacks most of those

Or should

[rare aurora]

and i am in the capitol lol

[thorn ruin]

I hate shorts

Shorts are bad

[quartz cave]

shorts killed my grandma

[rare aurora]

another reason to like them

[thorn ruin]

Anything that isn’t full length pants are bad

[rain flint]

the hell bro

[heavy roost]

No one cares if your legs are hairy mate

[rare aurora]

less old people => less people voting for nazis it’s that easy

[thorn ruin]

I didn’t say anything about hair

[rain flint]

bro...

[thorn ruin]

Sensitive topic for Oswald

[vestal sky]

i listen to some english white girl music but i'm ngl chinese and taiwanese people got that shit locked in mandopop is fire

[rare aurora]

turkish pop 🆙

[thorn ruin]

As a chinese, English in Chinese music is bad

[vestal sky]

put me onto turkish pop i'm uninformed

[rare aurora]

youtube or spotify

[sleek tide]

Yay steel soul for some reason has a issue with cutscenes....

I gotta WALK ALL WAY BACK MAN

[thorn ruin]

What happened

[sleek tide]

IDK MAN NOT FIRST TIME IT JUST KEEP BUGGING RANDOMLY and black screen

[vestal sky]

where do you find chinese music actually i assume spotify doesn't have a wide selection cause it's banned there

[thorn ruin]

Where

[sleek tide]

Cutscene doesn't contuine like nail upgrade/nail masters/ ANY CUTSCENE IN THE GSME

[thorn ruin]

Uhh idk I use YouTube and WeChat

[sleek tide]

ISSUE I DONT save much in steel soul so I lose like a hood progress

[thorn ruin]

If you quit to menu then it auto saves

[sleek tide]

I can't

It's fully black screen u can't press any button

[thorn ruin]

Oh

[sleek tide]

Only way is force quit..

[thorn ruin]

That didn’t happen on a normal save file?

[sleek tide]

Ye

[thorn ruin]

Hmm

I need to get better at technical support probably

Are you on steam?

[sleek tide]

Ye

[thorn ruin]

Coming up with names is the worst why did I do this to my self

[hidden idol]

Parrying NKG is the most satisfying thing ever

[indigo grail]

Fr

[hidden idol]

The tripple parry

[sick heath]

I have to disagree with you there

[hidden idol]

whyyyy

[sick heath]

Because hitting like 4 crits in a row in mewgenics is like drugs i think

I don't care if the crit was only 2 damage thats 1 extra damage

[naive dew]

@sick heath

[ashen ginkgo]

wtf mean

[sick heath]

Hi

[ashen ginkgo]

corn ball

[copper spruce]

[naive dew]

@noble ruin

[wheat lintel]

hi yall

[haughty edge]

hi

[magic storm]

Hi

[pale lark]

Actually is Hollow Knight better on Keyboard or Controller

[magic storm]

Controller

[indigo grail]

Controller, me personally

[lapis musk]

depends what you mean by better

but realistically doesnt matter

[tribal mason]

it's all preference

[magic storm]

Ugh since no one’s gonna argue against me I hate to say it but you should really just play with whatever you find comfortable

[pale lark]

I've been using Keyboard but I keep slipping up on keybinds

[manic tangle]

hello

[pale lark]

I do have a Controler only annoying part it's an older XBox Controler so doesn't have the wireless thing so I'd need a cable into my laptop

[manic tangle]

can you recommend me an build on phanteon 4?

charm build

[pale lark]

Idk anything about Pantheons sorgy

[lapis musk]

kbm is slightly better at the highest level but for 99.% of players it doesnt matter

[pale lark]

What's "kbm" mean

[bitter jolt]

keyboard and mouse

[lapis musk]

strength qslash shaman/qfocus/mop as core then add heart/catcher/twister/sbody grubsong

[urban grotto]

my fav charm steady grubsong

[manic tangle]

thanks

[manic tangle]

uh i think its my skill issue

[wild flame]

does the new HK update fix the bug where the radiance balls fly through the ground your standing on and turn around to hit you?

[bitter jolt]

thats not a bug

[wild flame]

then what is it?

[urban grotto]

a feature

[bitter jolt]

yea

it was intended

[wild flame]

so your telling me only some of these balls phase through the ground and some dont

[bitter jolt]

the first .5 seconds of an orbs lifespan it cannot be destroyed by the ground, a plat, or iframes

[bitter jolt]

no this applies to all orbs

[wild flame]

then why do only some do that

[bitter jolt]

because it went into the ground during the first .5 seconds of its lifespoan

[empty lynx]

There's a period of time where the orbs aren't affected by the platforms

[urban grotto]

at least latest patch doesn’t get the lingering hitboxes

[bitter jolt]

the bug they DID fix was lingering hitboxes

[bitter jolt]

yea

[wild flame]

ok then i guess i should just get good

[empty lynx]

Pretty much

[urban grotto]

i have my fr*nch final very soon wish me luck

[bitter jolt]

rip gl

[urban grotto]

[wraith fern]

HOW TF DID THAT HIT ME

[worthy peak]

my best is 296 damage dealt

[wraith fern]

?!??!??!?!

I'm streaming chat

[worthy peak]

tired. but mostly good

[wraith fern]

NAHHHHHHHHH

DODGE SIMULATOR

I CAN'T JUMP

[foggy sable]

04r marmu is just dive after a teleport if you have soul and play the rest as normal

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ6DeB-18nQ

[empty lynx]

I have no idea whatsoever on what to say

[worthy peak]

whats normal?!

[empty lynx]

Upslash

[foggy sable]

well for me I like to jump and sideslash on a low angle spawn position

then upslash the rebound off the wall

[worthy peak]

They just bounce into cieling so awkwardly...

[foggy sable]

for a high angle teleport just upslashes

but I in general prefer a pattern of sideslash, upslash, sideslas, upslash

[empty lynx]

Yea you are just 90% fucked if that happens

[worthy peak]

:(

[worthy peak]

[solar magnet]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

[foggy sable]

when you have soul you want todive the deleport though

[pulsar rover]

Hi

[solar magnet]

https://tenor.com/view/steinsgate-thumbs-up-nice-sweet-cool-gif-10332382

New hk player

[empty lynx]

welcome

[empty lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/steinsgate-thumbs-up-nice-sweet-cool-gif-10332382

[empty lynx]

this chat and most other channels have spoilers btw

[pulsar rover]

oh

[bitter jolt]

if you need help stick to #hk-help

[pulsar rover]

i guess I’ll leave

[bitter jolt]

unless you want the entire game spoiled for you

[empty lynx]

Maybe you can initiate conversations there too but idk

[empty lynx]

see you soon

Hope you enjoy

[wraith fern]

FUCK

MANTIS

PETRA

[empty lynx]

Do you have max gear

[wraith fern]

NOOBS DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT'S THE MOST FUCKED UP CRITTER IN THE ENTIRE KINGDOM

[wraith fern]

0 NAIL WHITE SPELLS

[empty lynx]

you're fucked

[wraith fern]

yeah ik

[empty lynx]

charms?

[wraith fern]

is there any point of continuing that

Shaman, Quickslash, Steady

[empty lynx]

you might have a chance

[wraith fern]

only Dash Slash learned

[dry creek]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gato-gato-meme-cat-meme-cat-exploding-gif-17959402814759052079

[wraith fern]

don't even have crystal heart

[empty lynx]

Eh
Doesn't matter that much considering your shit's week

why

[wraith fern]

wdym

[empty lynx]

also omg @dry creek hiiiiii

[dry creek]

omggg @empty lynx hiiiiii

[wraith fern]

I just decided to get whatever I can from Kingdom's edge and move on

but ig I won't continue that

at least until Great Slash

[empty lynx]

Nail arts are usually important for colo because they can one shot enemies
They can't with nail 0 (might still be beneficial but still)

[wraith fern]

yeah

I just wanted to flex

but not worth it loool

Cyclone Slash will come in clutch

[empty lynx]

cyclone slash is nice soul gain

[wraith fern]

it's the best attack against half of these enemies too

[empty lynx]

Also grimmchild might just help you

seeing how it does like 3x your nail damage at max or something

[wraith fern]

wait

15 damage?

[dry creek]

https://tenor.com/view/but-heres-the-dancer-cult-of-the-lamb-dance-boogie-lambert-gif-26741073

but heres the dancer

[empty lynx]

Not quite sure but it does alot at that stage

[empty lynx]

If i can hop hk and nine sols i can totally hop cult of the lamb i hope

[wraith fern]

I might try it with the same charms

[tawdry bolt]

11 i think

[dry creek]

cotl is peak

[wraith fern]

just when I learn Cyclone and Great

should I use Howling wraiths or nah

[empty lynx]

Howling's hot garbage with knockback enemies

even if it does good damage with shamman it's also very inconsistent

[wraith fern]

aspids

[empty lynx]

and short
Vengeful spirit is just better

[empty lynx]

i mean if it's exactly above a ceiling sure

[wraith fern]

at points enemies are grouped up above me so it's cool

[empty lynx]

the main issue with wraiths is it's inconsistent and can sometimes just push the enemy into the other side of the kingdom

[empty lynx]

oh that yea sure

[wraith fern]

colosseum haha

[empty lynx]

only right way to deal with armoured obbles anyway

[wraith fern]

the armoured flying knight guys too

[empty lynx]

Those guys don't matter that much anyway

[wraith fern]

bro

[empty lynx]

You should get spell twister and use that honestly

[upper remnant]

guys

[empty lynx]

Yoink

[wraith fern]

Zoink

[sick heath]

I hate it here

[wraith fern]

it took me 400 hours of playtime to realize these guys get exhausted after shooting a laser

[sick heath]

man I love fact checking people about the most niche info

[wraith fern]

like?

[sick heath]

Like there being two version of Dantes from Limbus Company coat, one say Durante and another say Dante

it only say Durante in the promo art but Dante in game

[wraith fern]

balright

[wraith fern]

actually is this new? they changed stuff in the lastest update in January

[sick heath]

its not new they always did that

[crude jewel]

I have 205 messages but no mess perm

IDK why

[sick heath]

[crude jewel]

[sick heath]

150 for VC and 300 for image

[wraith fern]

LORD FOOL!!!

[crude jewel]

[sick heath]

you have the role but if you still don't maybe try messaging @tranquil halo

or DM a mod that is online

[vast current]

guys

i am floating

[keen thorn]

Oh yeah it is a really good soap

[vast current]

how am i floating did i find a new glitch

holy shit i can infinite jump

[wraith fern]

@keen thorn I don't like your name

you must be paid for your tips Genio

[vast current]

damnit i just wanted invincibility now i ahve zero colisiona nd i keep floating or falling though teh floor

[rustic salmon]

honestly, they should be asking money for their tips

[sick heath]

Make a online course for only 200$ a month

[keen thorn]

Never

[compact wasp]

Hoi Genio

[fleet wadi]

fuck yea

[compact wasp]

congrats

[fleet wadi]

ty :3

i now have 60/63 completed

[magic storm]

Why

Free money

[sudden osprey]

9 hours is… relatively fast
Im gonna assume you didn’t do much godhome ?

[fleet wadi]

i only had god tuner

[wraith fern]

kindhearted soul with bad business plan

[fleet wadi]

grimm dlc helped

[wraith fern]

W

[fleet wadi]

i'm missing 5 charms still lol

[wraith fern]

which huh

[fleet wadi]

idr

the second lifeblood one

the one where you dash through enemies and it damages them

sharp shadow

weaversong as well

a few more

[sudden osprey]

Did you do colo 3 ?
Colo 3 is the best % do to in steel soul

[fleet wadi]

i did not do trial of fool

that would have killed me

[sudden osprey]

-# it’s more intimidating than actually hard, but it is like the one thing that can reasonably kill you after you leave early game

[fleet wadi]

yea like i have done it before

but its still a lot of enemies at once

the enemies themselves can be quite difficult

especially with how many of them there are

[sudden osprey]

Technically you could… probably find opportunities to dreamgate out when i think about it

[fleet wadi]

that's cheating

[sick heath]

yeah its crazy how much your nervs can mess with gameplay

[sudden osprey]

Quitting out is cheating, dreamgate is a game mechanic which can’t be used freely while in combat

I think it’s reasonably more fair to use

[fleet wadi]

this is why i died to the hollow knight twice in some steel soul attempts

[sudden osprey]

Well that’s probably you going undergeared than nerves

[fleet wadi]

that too

[sudden osprey]

Which is why i would always recommend going for 100% from the get go

[fleet wadi]

i was a lot more thorough this time before the 100%

[sudden osprey]

Thk is just a badly designed boss that is hard to do easily without damage tanking a bunch

Most people assume it’s a pushover because with high equipment it is, but when doing the boss with like a speedrun loadout, it is much more threatening than the watcher knight
-# on the latest patch not 1221

[compact wasp]

what makes you think that way?

[hollow nova]

woah woah I've never seen this take

[compact wasp]

ye that is fairly new one

[hollow nova]

I guess I haven't really done it low gear

[compact wasp]

even low gear it is pretty consistent though

the attacks aren't that bad to dodge

[hollow nova]

Yeah I don't really remember any issues there

[keen thorn]

A lot of attacks can hit you in extremely stupid ways

The biggest issue really is just triple slash

[unique badge]

hi aze hi genio

hi starpengu

[keen thorn]

Hi nix

[unique badge]

hi soapi

[frigid terrace]

I know the slash can come out unreasonably quick but otherwise I feel like it's fine

[unique badge]

raaaa my civics teacher is taking phones

[frigid terrace]

They arbitrarily increased the speed of it during one of the patches for some reason

[sudden osprey]

Triple slash is really fucking dumb imo

[foggy sable]

it starts way faster than any of the other attacks the boss has

[sudden osprey]

Like it’s practically unreactable ? It’s faster than pure vessel ?

[hollow nova]

oh true I remember that

[frigid terrace]

If you don't have shade cloak the big wall of projectiles can be pretty brutal if you're close buuut every time I get hit to it, it's because I was a chud and pressing buttons

[sudden osprey]

WK is a hard boss in an any%
But it’s like
Fun, and you have a ton of skill expression
Thk is dumb, some patterns like wall of projectiles can be either really good or really really bad depending on if his back is against a wall

[fleet wadi]

i also just finally got the nightmare king

now i just have the herald achievement and the p5 achievement

[sudden osprey]

It’s overall a very inconsistent boss and it sucks especially that for a speedrun perspective, downpatching is a way to get an easier version of the boss

« Hi I’m struggling with thk in any% »
« Just downpatch bro »

That’s a very dumb interaction

[fleet wadi]

it's fine to have it be difficult

also didn't team cherry make speedrunning harder anyway by pausing the game when the inventory is open

[frigid terrace]

Team Cherry does that like every patch

[hollow nova]

Nintendo and Team Cherry competing for who can patch out the most fun glitches for no reason

[frigid terrace]

Video game developers when people are having fun

[hollow nova]

why would you play video games for fun instead of the brutally challenging hardcore soulslike combat

[frigid terrace]

Because Souls games are bad

Fromslop

[hollow nova]

skill issue?

Dark Souls being bad is the point you're supposed to persevere

[frigid terrace]

Carried by the armchair philosophers who claim that Dark Souls is experimental and unique

[copper glacier]

I just invested 10,000 geo on if the Pale King will say “vessel” in his next speech (trust bro I’m gonna make bank)

[compact wasp]

also genio, I finally finished p5 all bindings

[hollow nova]

ChatGPT generate me a fantasy world about decay and the loss of grandeur

[keen thorn]

No way, gg

[frigid terrace]

Elden Bling is immmune from the grasps of AI because it's too woke

[subtle glacier]

true

[compact wasp]

yepp

[sudden osprey]

Yup that’s the elite knight set alright

[empty lynx]

genio i just looked back at that one reply comment section why were we getting ragebaited this hard unc

[remote elbow]

Dang i love having only 1 game to play on the go and i dont wanna play that game but i have no other choice i cant play no mans sky i need internet and i csnt play gta san andreas it keeps crashing meaning im forced to play hollow knight when im playing outside of my house on my switch 2 life sucks

[copper glacier]

oh, the misery

[remote elbow]

Yeah

I have nothing to play

[keen thorn]

It wasn't ragebait lol, the guy genuinely just thinks that

And I managed to convince him MoP isn't that bad

[copper glacier]

o tempora, o mores

[empty lynx]

Worth it

[compact wasp]

your guide genuinely helped a lot

[foggy sable]

entertainment

[cursive flume]

I finally beat the game🥹

[empty lynx]

nice bro ggs

[wispy sky]

why do i have a ping here

[cursive flume]

Thx brah

[wispy sky]

which ending

[cursive flume]

The normal one where you just beat the hollow knight

[wispy sky]

nice

[keen thorn]

I'm glad

[solar rover]

almost died here

fail one more jump an i am dead

and i am dead

oh fudge

[tall snow]

are you allergic to the word fuck

[solar rover]

no i just dont use it in case server moderations

i use fuck all the times

i have to say it

but i just loss 1 hour of progress so fuck

plus i kinda also want to reduce curse words

[foggy sable]

why would you not talk to bretta, go through the breakable floor, then bench in the next room?

[solar rover]

no i did that i failed right before the chair the acid pool jump

somehow after all this time its these kinda things that get me

[foggy sable]

how did you manage that

[solar rover]

not played for months

and dont have most fancy stuff i had to save myself

so it happend

oh well

[void beacon]

What ending?

[cursive flume]

The one where you just beat the hollow knight

[void beacon]

Ah

[void beacon]

Im stuck on that

[solar rover]

well there are 3 endings tied to that

one of them have the final boss

[void beacon]

I need to get the 1800 essence to go to the final boss

And beat pop

[solar rover]

you dont need to do pop

pop is completely optional

what you mean is the white palace

[void beacon]

Ye

But u need to do pop to get to the final boss

[solar rover]

nope

you dont

[void beacon]

Yoy do

[void beacon]

How

[solar rover]

dude i have completed the game 112% all except p5, ik you dont

[void beacon]

How do you get 2nd white fragment

[solar rover]

pop is a secret area in white palace, the second fragment is in the white palace throne room

pop is not required

[void beacon]

What

Imma check hk maps

Cya

[solar rover]

ok

i am trying to fast but because i am doing so its getting me killed which in turns take more time

[copper spruce]

Popcorn

[void beacon]

U r wrong buddy

Its on top of pop

[sick heath]

oh that 500 damage in one attack

awesome

[solar rover]

thats not pop

wait one minute let me open my save

[compact wasp]

that's normal white palace

not path of pain

[void beacon]

IT IS POP

[compact wasp]

no

[upper remnant]

gang do you know what's at the end of pop

[solar rover]

forgot white palace has no map in game

[compact wasp]

not even close

more like stroll of bruises

[solar rover]

dude you havent even been to pop and you are arguing with guys who have completed it

here

in this you can see that slighlty darker path is the pop

[upper remnant]

@void beacon

[compact wasp]

kingsoul behind path of pain would be too cruel

[solar rover]

tbh once you did it you do wanna go back

[compact wasp]

yep

enough to do it hitless

its genuinely so so satisfying

[solar rover]

thats why on my second save i havent done it yet

[heavy roost]

no.

[upper remnant]

yes

[solar rover]

saving it for a while but then i stopped playing

so now i am trying steeel soul to get good again but i am impatient

[foggy sable]

mildly enjoyable

[compact wasp]

I have done celeste too grey

I mean compared to that is only mildly enjoyable

[foggy sable]

PoP is just so average compared to the fluid movement in celeste

[compact wasp]

yeah

celeste has straight up ultra dashes

that game was built for speedrunning

[foggy sable]

even without the tech

it is so responsive

[upper remnant]

thing is celeste is a platforming-focused game

[compact wasp]

but the tech adds a whole new level to it

genuinely phenomenal

[upper remnant]

of course they'd be a lot more fine-edged than hk

[dry creek]

stop yelling its hurting my ears

[void beacon]

...

[solar rover]

celeste? the indie game?

[foggy sable]

I need to get back into celeste tbh

[dry creek]

thats a slightly nicer way of saying shut up! ^_^

[void beacon]

Idc how ppl say it

[compact wasp]

blissful ignorance

[dry creek]

everyone is saying "no, thats not how that works!" and youre persisting in being incorrect. its like saying the sky is green! its not ^_^

[compact wasp]

they don't want to accept that there is something hardedr

[upper remnant]

guys be nice

[dry creek]

lol yeah

[void beacon]

Im sorry, i was thinking white palace was pop

Mb

[dry creek]

ok, thank you for not yelling anymore

[void beacon]

Srry bout that

[dry creek]

ur good

[void beacon]

Cya, gotta eat dinner

[dry creek]

have a delicious dinner

[void beacon]

Tysm

[compact wasp]

same

[raw sonnet]

hi

[solar rover]

tring to go fast in costing me more damage than good

[raw sonnet]

@compact wasp give me tips against itemless rad pv

💔

[raw sonnet]

(if you can or want)

[compact wasp]

I hate itemless

[raw sonnet]

yes i agree

[empty lynx]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[compact wasp]

so I don't have any tips either

[raw sonnet]

sad

[empty lynx]

my phone decided to lag just enough for swords to linger for longer than ddark's iframes

🥀

[tropic nest]

How many

[empty lynx]

4 hits except absrad but i was going for just oc shell binding no lifeblood anyway

obblobles watcher knights uumuu hornet 2

[foggy sable]

I have built up the myth I suck at pv so well that people ask literally anyone else

[frozen storm]

Why are you not trying to do P5 low hits

[solar rover]

but you are like the oldest guy on the server.. i meant as in the you have been here the longest

[tropic nest]

thats what it is

[foggy sable]

no I've been here since like november last year

[solar rover]

well more than me atleast

[empty lynx]

well if i plan on doing r5 (decades long plan) i'd need to do something easier first

Besides i don't really feel like stopping a run to shit like this

like iam very sure 2 of those 4 hits were just me being braindead

[outer field]

I've beaten False Knight No Charms Old Nail Only!

[empty lynx]

nice bro ggs

[compact wasp]

ggs

you are ready for p5 all bindings

throw him in godhome yall

[outer field]

well, idk. That False Knight kill was harder than my p3ab...

[upper remnant]

if you were on pc i think you'd have done r5 already

[solar rover]

you are playing on mobile... i know hk fanbase has some serious M blood but why do you do this to yourself?

[dry creek]

overworld false knight, essentially (just with more health iirc)

[upper remnant]

do it in the pantheons not base game

[upper remnant]

idt he has any other choice so he just does hk mobile

[solar rover]

ok then i am sorry but i think i have seen guys on the server who choose to do that

[empty lynx]

Dude
I can't beat elder hu on pc

[empty lynx]

I think so too yea

[frozen storm]

Switch to a console

[empty lynx]

Hollow knight try not to fall asleep challenge

[solar rover]

he is like the easiest of the ghost bosses in the game

[upper remnant]

what

[empty lynx]

no bro do you know how funny it is to play nine sols on 3 and a half fps

[upper remnant]

no

[empty lynx]

I know
And i genuinely can't beat him on pc
I can do p5 all bindings but not regular ass elder hu

[empty lynx]

You're missing out

[upper remnant]

lemme guess you beat promised eigong prime hitless like that or some shit

[compact wasp]

same

[empty lynx]

No i got my ass folded by lady for a moment

[solar rover]

try using sprint master and dash master

[upper remnant]

oh

[empty lynx]

I know the strats for him iam just that ass on pc

[compact wasp]

they probably mean with all bindings

[compact wasp]

dude just try it for like a week

[solar rover]

i just realised that

[empty lynx]

Like i genuinely can't jump, look up, and press attack on pc

[solar rover]

so it wouldnt have mattered

[solar rover]

... i have tried controller and i have to say its harder there than mouse and keyboard

[empty lynx]

It's mostly about how you are on both but still

[tropic nest]

Li stream the game to phone and use it as controller

[empty lynx]

I have been on mobile my whole life so switching is hard (i don't have my own other devices anyway)

[solar rover]

true i have only just started using controller for the first time

[subtle glacier]

gg pc

[solar rover]

but of the games i have tried it on i rather use mouse and keayboard for hk

[empty lynx]

Iam even worse on controller

genuinely don't even know how

[frozen storm]

Well my PC was running nine sols just like that

[solar rover]

if you suck at elder hu how did you even beat p5?

[upper remnant]

on mobile

he cant beat elder hu on pc

[solar rover]

i have never doen p5 hut i can dog walk almost all bosses except a few

[frozen storm]

I am the only person that has beaten P4 on all devices

[solar rover]

uhh its evem more impressive than doing it on pc

[frozen storm]

At least here

[frozen storm]

Mobile is easier than keyboard

[solar rover]

cant say i think i have seen others when i was active months ago

[frozen storm]

Makes sense

[solar rover]

dude you have less controll, less visible space on screen and everything is tiny

and you are saying mobile is easier

[raw sonnet]

well this challenge is pain in the butt 💔

[frozen storm]

Because it lowkey is

[empty lynx]

1 entire minute long loading screen

[solar rover]

at this point idk if thats impressive or a bad take

[frozen storm]

Makes sense

[empty lynx]

I have hopes and dreams

and charms

And shade soul

[frozen storm]

And dash slash

[solar rover]

we have those too...

[foggy sable]

it would be fun to do a kb stream some time

see how difficult it is

[solar rover]

i think you guys are bugged...

[raw sonnet]

@keen thorn

[frozen storm]

Controller is the superior input device because I'm biased

[solar rover]

my typing is bugged rn

[obtuse venture]

Yall ever realise that the dream boss names are named from the Knight's view

[solar rover]

yeah no even if you are biased you have to admit that unless the game is made for it mouse and keyboard are always the best option

[frozen storm]

Switch to controller I swear to you the transition from mobile -> controller is easy

[frozen storm]

Never

[obtuse venture]

Whys there only like 3 ppl here

[empty lynx]

Possibly

[keen thorn]

Hi

[solar rover]

as we can see he is in the first of the 5 stages of grief

[naive dew]

@keen thorn

[frozen storm]

Hello

[frozen storm]

Hello²

[keen thorn]

Lies
Keyboard > mobile > controller

[naive dew]

Hii gui

[obtuse venture]

this also implies the knight thinks that zote is who he describes himself as

[foggy sable]

lying for fun

@naive dew

[raw sonnet]

uh do you have tips against radiant pv with all bindings and no movement abiltiies and old nail
(idk the shortcuts for all of these words)

[frozen storm]

In difficulty?

[empty lynx]

Mobile's easier than those two

[keen thorn]

White spells or no spells either?

[frozen storm]

Mobile is the middle ground

[empty lynx]

Uh mobile's not real actually

[frozen storm]

Hyd?

[raw sonnet]

no spells

[keen thorn]

So itemless 💀

[frozen storm]

It is

[keen thorn]

Yeah good luck with tendrils idk how to do them either

[obtuse venture]

Nintendo switch lite > all the others

[raw sonnet]

isnt itemless is all bindings and idk with 1 nail dmg?

[frozen storm]

Time the jump

[keen thorn]

@ebon depot help this guy with itemless ab PV

[frozen storm]

I saw suscar doing it like that

[solar rover]

yeah without any movement tendrils are gonna be hard.

[keen thorn]

Yes but how

[frozen storm]

Itemless is kings pass loot

[empty lynx]

Utter woke nonsense

[frozen storm]

No idea I just know it's possible

[empty lynx]

pure skill
and don't panic guh

[raw sonnet]

well i learned how to time it but im not consistent with it cuz it actually depends on how far he is from me

[frozen storm]

I have a dentist in minutes

[empty lynx]

Glhf

[frozen storm]

Just a cleanup

[empty lynx]

Yea that attack is probably a whole character arc atleast it was for me

[raw sonnet]

nice

[frozen storm]

No braces yet...

My father is too lazy

[raw sonnet]

removed mine goodluck with them

the pain you gonna get in midnight is mad 💔

[frozen storm]

Can't be that bad

[solar rover]

that came out inappropriate

[raw sonnet]

it isnt painful its just so annoying that it wont let you sleep in night

[frozen storm]

Well my teeth are extremely misaligned

[raw sonnet]

and you cant really brush them when you got braces on

[empty lynx]

Motherfucker i literally didn't look until you pointed it out 😭

[raw sonnet]

so they're gonna be dirt a lil

[solar rover]

i was talking about what i messaged earlier

[frozen storm]

Hm

Well

Anyways

[empty lynx]

That one's fine phew

[frozen storm]

Hop HKMP

Find a way to download mods

[empty lynx]

god i wish

[solar rover]

what would have been the one grub that you would have probably never found if not for the grub map?

i ahve 3 of those

[empty lynx]

There isn't for hollow knight mobile at all

No mod support at all

There's for silksong though

[frozen storm]

Sad

[empty lynx]

then again that's still a 2/10 game

[autumn dawn]

how is everyone today?

[frozen storm]

Chess is a 10/10 game

That means you should hop on chess

[empty lynx]

which i genuinely suck ass at

So it's 1

[frozen storm]

Dw me too

I am shit at chess

[empty lynx]

Iam even worse

do you hang your queen literally fourth or fifth move every match

[frozen storm]

Nah I'm very bad

I lost to Roma

And throw

I suck

[solar rover]

what game is he calling 2/10?

[empty lynx]

ok and i lost to anthony Barbosa

[frozen storm]

Silksong

[autumn dawn]

better be silksong and not Hk

[frozen storm]

I hang my king

[prisma cradle]

Nah you are very good though gui

1600 on lichess

[frozen storm]

Nah i suck

[autumn dawn]

thank goodness

[warm aurora]

I mean, its technically illegal

[heavy roost]

down with the monarchy!

[warm aurora]

Would be weird to make mods

[solar rover]

1600 on lichess is like 1300 on chess.com

[frozen storm]

Too low
That's like 10 elo on chess.com

[prisma cradle]

You beat me and I have 1428 fide ILO

[frozen storm]

It was a fluke

[prisma cradle]

But that was prob my worst game ever

[prisma cradle]

Want a rematch?

[frozen storm]

Not rn

[prisma cradle]

Alr

[solar rover]

i dont have a fide elo but i am 1600 hundred on chess.com havent played for a while so dont challenge me

[prisma cradle]

Tell me when because I wanna play

[frozen storm]

Ok ok

[prisma cradle]

Oh 1600 is good

[prisma cradle]

I have 1687 on chess.com

[frozen storm]

[solar rover]

i think my highes is 1657 or something

[prisma cradle]

That’s very good for a average player

[solar rover]

i had sudden growth spurt over there

[prisma cradle]

I don’t play much online

[prisma cradle]

Nice
