two ppl having the same avatars is criminal ig
thinking before writing something is a dying skill I feel
Holy infant
Anything but talking about hk in the hk discord
arent you 16?
Said the fetus

Identical including the decoration
not much hk related activities to talk about tbh

I beat p5 recently
im a wise sage
true..
Nice bro ggs
And the modded boss boundless infinity on radiant
if hes little what am i at 14 😭
Nice
Galien
your pfp
Bad infinity
?
Hk modded bosses are slop smh
It was fun though
😐
anybad
Grimm child is a respected individual in hallownest
we didnt even mention anyrad 😭
it was close enough
Grimmchild is my goat I use it in my p5 runs alongside kingsoul
Any rad is a slop boss
Definitely possible
void heart is needed to play p5
Grimm troupe patch?
sounds fake
…thats the joke
because that is before godhome was added I think

Yeah it is the joke
fym you think
Yes
Who doesn't know release order
I have 3 achievements left in hollow knight
are they perhaps the hunters journal ones and a secret one
yes im gonna do my ab with charms
Doesn’t charm binding remove it
I'd love to do 04 challenges but I don't have the will to learn collector
I mean, it is fun but still
Completing the Pantheon of Hallownest (Pantheon 5) without using either the Nail or any spells, only using charm-based damage.
Pantheon of Hallownest is a 42 boss gauntlet including the majority of bosses within Hollow Knight, as well as harder variations such as Sisters of Battle, Winged Nosk and Absolute Radiance.
For the first 40 bosses th...
This looks like pain
Why would somebody do this to themselves
it is easier than you would think
wow now i get to play flukemarm for 3 years!
@sick heath heads

so found kin found found kin
cant wait for 7 different people to turn that into a gif
aroace
thats like hella far off
they share a massive umbrella term therefore same
which means octopi are the same as humans bcs both are animals
lol
hi enddeous
hi non hru
im good hbu
doing fine thx
Is 112% possible on easiest difficulty or does it have to be on radiant? If so what is the highest % for easiest difficulty
the hall of gods gives nothing for completion % its just a practice area and the reward is like a statue and glowing circles on statues thats it
ya
thank you for the confirmation moderator
you're welcome

the only seperate difficulty other than normal is a permadeath mode
but yeah 112% is the highest %
which ones
How do I unlock the radiance fight?
voidheart
fight hollow knight with grimm child
what if carefree melody
no radiance for you
Steel heart ,steel soul, speed completion
steel heart wasnt that bad imo
It is not hard I just haven't gotten round to it
i beat steel soul for the first time then got steel heart on that save essentially for free
I currently can beat all bosses except absrad on radiant without charms
i might try again now i ve beaten p5
what if we added the ability to cook chocolate chip brownies with extra chip
i should do charmless radhog sometime
Do you fight the radiance mid fight with the hollow knight or after the fight? Like if I were to beat the hollow knight will I still be able to beat the radiance
but to make said chocolate chip brownie with extra chip you need to harvest an organ from each boss
mid
genuinely FUUUUCK pantheon uumuu
How do I unlock the fight? Like what do I have to do to make it where I can fight the radiance
have you visited the white lady
I don’t think so
once u beat the hollow knight and load back into your save the game will just put you back into before you beat it
so yea endings dont lock u out of anything
shell give you something so you should first find her
shes after some boss fight
sealed siblings locks you out of morality
Ok so I need to beat the hollow knight 1 time, reload into it, do sum other stuff and then fight it again to fight the radiance?
you dont need to beat the hollow knight at all
you don’t need to fight hollow knight 1 time
if you want achievements tho you should
Thank you for the tips n tricks moderator
you're welcome
☺️
i cant believe a top celeste player is talking to me rn
dont use this emoji again..
Hiii im top celeste player
wtfuck is your problem.
if i had to guess it would probably be the emoji
My favourite emojis ---> 😻 🙀 😹
you are no longer allowed to have opinions
dude any tips for radiant uumuu im literally so bad at him and ive done almost every other boss (including markoth, obblobls and pv)

no horse damn
you could try equipping dream weilder stocking up enough soul to just shaman blast them down a bit
Yeahhh sorry it dropped out of favourites
though dream nail is a bit jank to get off if you aint used to it
Avoid the walls certainly don't cdash stall on them (remember the name)
the spread attack that uumuu does where it shoots a bunch of lumaflies all over the screen cant reach the bottom 2 platforms
so you can like go down to the bottom 2 platforms as uumuu starts an attack, then go back up to make sure uumuu doesnt go down too far repeat
until you get a good lineup with the jellyfish (shade soul and ddark are really good for hitting the jellyfish sometimes)
Hii eloki
i did finally that was so dumb
maybe my least favorite boss in the game from a design perspective lol
Dude this fucking controller is glitching so much, why the hell is my attack button inactive half the fucking time
hii
the 2 most fun boss mechanics are obviously invulnerability phases and hard to predict projectiles, everybody loves that!
It's the charger. It's just my controller charger, because why wouldn't it be
what controller do you use?
aah thats annoying
But I guess it's fucking with my controller's functionality all of a sudden
i dont know why you would think otherwise
Like it just locks my controls that specifically link to spells or attacks for some reason
I disconnected the charger, COMPLETELY fine
Hii eloki
It's NEVER done this
Like the worst that's happened is the "low battery" pop up glitching and popping up endlessly
you sure its not like stuck or anything like how old is the controller
The only thing that would be stuck would be the R1 button. Because that got stuck for some reason in the past, but now it's fine
But uh... I dunno
7 - 8 years maybe?
not what i meant
the charger fucking with the controller makes a lot of sense to me
i mean yeah thats probably the controller then
Highly doubt it
My charger also looks like this
i can see the wires 😭
Few years back, my mom was vacuuming and the charger got caught in it
Time to get a new one methinks
Also, another reason why it might be the charger, the charging port for my controller is weirdly loose with it
Like not the charger itself. It fits fine in the controller I never use because it feels weird
holy shit
So it might just be a bit more skewed given how much I need to use it
God, I LOVE it when I dash in the direction of the light pillar that I can't fucking see
what light pillar
Radiance's light pillar that moves from one side to the other
erm
@noble ruin
You definitely shouldn't sleep. Free tip there
hi mel
go to sleep
Hiii clover
Yeah spawn the ball right next to me, not only that, but blend it in with the yellow-white background SO I CAN'T EVEN FUCKING SEE IT
you should probably take a break
Also y'all get that glitch where if you nail hit immediately when you're able to after a Shriek, you don't get soul?
triple parry
don't think i've seen that before
Guess who got jumpscared by the secret 3rd rectangle hitbox of AbsRad's light pillar
Ooo
Why Team Cherry didn't just make it a constant 2 rectangle hitbox is beyond me
1 moving rectangle
Even better actually
thats called your input getting fucked
TC, take notes
tc fix radiance and absrad
I wish TC would give us some fuckin new HK stuff
Like even a little smth for the old HK apart from QoL
what is QoL
yall
I love not getting Soul for the nail hit after shriek
what are your top 5 favourite hk soundtracks
im pretty sure your nail isnt hitting at all
enemy iframes
...AbsRad gets fucking i-frames-
- city of tears 2) hive knight 3) sealed vessel 4) the grimm troupe 5) mantis lords
these are mine
every enemy does
its to prevent shade soul from hitting every frame and shit like that
So Shriek gives enemies a brief window of invulnerability to where my nail can't hit after the last hit of it
Oh my God
yes
Now I notice it
enemy i frames are why setting fps to end in 4 or 9 means enemies take more hits from shriek
When the fuck did that become a thing
What
it has been a thing since forever
3 years of taking in shit tons of professional HK tricks and tech and still, I learn new shit
This is we cant have nice things
it is cool and fun
i joined this server at the perfect time to get this info immediately and easily
I've always been here
i mean you were at least here before me so i cant disprove it
therefore your statement must be correct
Me when Discord search by date
no iam larping
yes bcs that can be found on my screen
@foggy sable
@naive dew
hiiiiiiiiii hru
So they STILL haven't fixed the Pure Vessel flashbang issue
writing a thing, hru
im sad cause im doomed
oh no
How could you melone
I think nail does hit for pogos. As in still no damage or soul but your dash and double jump is refreshed.
sorry floggy
I know about Shrogos
Not what I'm talking about here
Shriek pogos
As in you pogo your shriek
...oh wait
You meant still pogo the enemy
Sorry
Yep. Which is better because you don't require still having double jump Todo so
Riveting gameplay
Its ok
And here's PV with only Fury-boosted Nail Arts
3 other useless charms purely to be Overcharmed btw
Shit i can't remember the name i gave this npc
@sick heath
Hi
can you pick between OMORI some random sonic game or omori or omori or hades or cult of the lamb
It was something Italian I think
Omori
bro you know that there are more narts than gslash right 😭
lies
Nope thats the only one
dash slash hate will NOT be tolerated here
what is dash slash if not long great slash
Not hating it just ignoring it
You know Great Slash is the most commonly used Nail Art right
It's good very good tho
Vs markoth it's usefell to
idk what reply i was expecting but it certainly wasnt that
or is gslash just short dash slash
wait true
gslash is tall dash slash
anyways gslash being common genuinely means like nothing at all
like it being less situational doesnt mean its better in all situations
im so good at grammar
cyclone pillars is just simply more dmg
shrue
i'm getting a bit tired of rabnopv
Dash Slash is my favourite
no one is forcing you to do it
first time clearing it or doing reclears
helo zl
Dash slash deletes Markoth and that's always fun
Do i need void heart for embrace the void?
pv tips incoming
First
yes
Hello
I’m forcing myself
What if i deafeat p5 without it?
nothing would change
you cant
im doing rabhog rn, and i realized i suck at some fights
Good luck trying
You can't enter p5 without it
its just to unlock the gate
any odd ones?
Why?
Other said it, you cant enter it
Is R0PV easier than RABNOPV
You can do P1-4 without Void Heart but you can't enter P5 without Void Heart
is r0 just ronws
literarly nothing is within 10 minutes other than like the 1st 4 of 1st raw, i took like 30 mins on hiveknight, that was also cause tilt tbf
Yes
probably not
almost certainly
depends how comfortable you are with focus mostly
thanks corn was there any bias in this choice based on the message
turns out if th fights last even longer than normal ab, i just start to stuggle
@shrewd nymph
Focus is fine tbh
i kinda skipped all those pv challenges and went right to -1norab so take it with a bag of salt
Whaat I would never be biased
@naive dew
To what
1 damage
I should do that sometime
What’s the - then
but pv sucks
nail level -1
5 - 4 = 1
Oh
Can you use nail arts? If not that sounds like a very fun challenge for me to try
wouldnt take you very long, pv consistency checks are boring
from my own personal experience r0pv was not very hard
while i havent attempted rabno i cant imagine it being easy
hiii hru
it isn't a matter of skill
you can but with 1 nail dmg its rarely worth
it is do I want to be very bored
Isn’t charm binding the only one that matters there
uh yeah
so might as well do the rest
Ok
Fair enough lol
I'm pretty confident that I could do it though
Gtg now
good, just got back from gym and got alot of school work to do sadly
i dont think its very hard so give it a shot
Almost console friendly if I could just set nail to 1
i'll send mine here rq
took like 9 attempts or smt which is nice but long boss fights are lowk miserable, had to pause every 5 seconds to adjust my hair or itch my nose or wtv.
peak channel name
it didnt take many attempts but was kinda just a snoozfest
It doesn't seem any harder than just Fighting PV for a really long time
Which is one of my most consistent fights
damn
i have my first big exam today and im lowkey cooked but its okay#
i mean, ab means no qs, so parry is somewhat harder
nah u got it dw
you shouldnt really be parrying anyways tbgf
i only 'parried' once and it was because i got bored
it feels nice tho
good point
id argue that rabtheon is more entertaining because spells
but pv challenges are kinda notoriously redundant
rabtheons suck
i just had a movie on the side so it was fine
I don't use QS normally 
And I don't really try to parry PV
not using qslash normally is interesting
lmao
I might do rabtheon of marmu one time tbh
Holow nike
no wait bad idea
Silksom
90m clear 
indeed 
checks out, maybe after p5ab
i already have so much planned after that anyway
the most fun single boss pantheon surely is collector ab
I wouldnt recommend touching rabtheons for a while atleast
If at all
consider i value joy
no i mean the pv challange
lies
Yeah its rabtheon
90m straight of hitless pv
Time to get the hardest achievement 😢
unless u mean the -1norab
Weird way to spell easiest
you play league
American spelling iirc
i mean that, tho im getting confused
Thats supposed to just be between us
It's very hard for the heart
90 mins hitless isnt something possible for me in the very near future tbh
Have to disagree with you
(Not the video) ive done pv rabtheon 3 times now which is RAB pv 42 times in a row
i am definitely not the only person who knows that
Dw about it
I'm doing fine
What do you use?
Ok time to get told to change my build again despite there being nothing outright wrong with it
Shaman Stone, Mark of Pride (leave my QoL alone), Soul Eater, Dreamwielder
Qs
Nah mate it def the hardest achievement trust we leave the great zote to die
its not meta hyperslop therefore bad

hi gui
Hi non
hru
Just woke up, I'm doing cold
Oh no
I'm so surprised that I've been told that it's bad
Now I have to act offended that people think it's bad!!!
ive never before seen somebody in endgame not using qs
it really is very interesting
Spell spam builds
i am joking
its a fine build
With catcher eater shaman and twister
but like no not really, cause mop instead of twister
QoL
I'm built like a patience elemental
eee
I'm working
Idk why i am at work but
C'yall later
I've run some weird charm builds
Bye, cya
11 thorns of agony
I kinda wish the Mark of Pride nail attack length was the default
thorns being 1 of 3 charms i wouldnt take into ab if it was free
bruh
could be funny
But when I can have charms, I will have it
Oh I know
Would be funny
when I one day in 3 years do thorns only p5
I'm still allowed to be wistful that HK gives you the most pitiful range
I will have both ends of the thorns spectrum
Thrones
that is kingsoul only
True true
i think range is decent
P5 only Thorns sounds hilarious but also terrifying
Can you combo other charms like Hiveblood?
hiveblood, deep focus, grubsong, and some more
actually hiveblood sounds nicer than ks
elegy
it depends on the segment
You're welcome for the suggestion lmao
I just figured you'd need health to sustain the damage
that sounds so horribly bad tbh
I know the charm builds already
2 damage segment what can be done
I just don't want to actually run it
deep focus, hiveblood, grubsong
Dreamshield only P5 for 2 years straight
Valid
I wouldn't want to either
I would only wish spore shroom only P5 on my worst enemies
dreamshield only should be much more managable than thorns only
that1 has been done i think
There's someone doing it
thorns is allegedly not that hard
Has been doing it for like
like, p5ab
https://youtu.be/iKYThu2ykY8?si=X0NRK89oriaZ9lKu
ye, i remembered right
Destroying bugs with the power of healing is certainly one way to beat Hollow Knight.

2.5 years
which is hard but not in comparison to what others might be
Ok but that's beating the game like that
I want
P5
Only farts
making it much less a feat
I watched it before
It's only trying to beat the Any% ending and it's impossible because THK is programmed to not die to anything except a nail hit
The list goes on for way longer
As is The Radiance
so is absrad
so both impossible ig
Yes
Iirc you can kill it with cdash
Nail 2, no benches allowed
No healing allowed
No dream nail allowed
ah, that makes it significantly worse i suppose
You do just have to wonder why
well they aren't doing this are they
Personally I'd allow the 1 final hit to be ignored because it's more of a "cutscene trigger" and less so doing damage
You can get THK, Rad and Absrad to 0hp without them dying because they require a nail hit to trigger the ending
It's boring to watch the guy spend an hour at Markoth
it is like saying someone is doing nail only p5 but it is actually 1 nail damage ab or something
Doing what?
that sounds about right
People are just masochists
dreamshield only, in comparison to thorns only
Also streaming gives decent money
Way better
So honestly
Spore Shroom only P5 could be a silly thing if you allow the exception of the final Absrad hit to trigger the cutscene

my fav p5 vid is probably this1
This is the peak of my itemless challenges journey.
Pantheon of Hallownest, the hardest challenge from the base game, done without a SINGLE item and with ALL Bindings at once.
Itemless means you have literally NOTHING. No movement abilities, no spells, no Nail upgrades, no additional Masks nor Vessel fragments. Every object that can be picked ...
teano the goat
Teano is crazy
I hate the term masochist
But for that specifically i think its true

I prefer the term patience elemental
Specifically in hk
The same guy did hitless Cuphead on expert whetstone only
People just overuse the word for people who like difficulty and its corny
Why?
Like someone literally enjoying being hurt and someone doing p5 arent the same thing
i mean, sure
I agree
I also agree
good 2 know
idk, i like using maso as a joke for difficult stuff
There are no good communities
I think difficulty is not necessarily about wanting to suffer but more about having the courage and patience to keep getting back up, keep trying and gain the achievement you want, for your own satisfaction
maybe i was the problem all along
It wasn't exhaustive


Some people genuinely think that doing p5 is masochism and not just enjoying a challenge
idk, it all depends on perspective
That's the lesson these games teach us with each death and respawn. Get back up. Try again.
It's no wonder it makes sense for people to keep chasing the next milestone
Why is the cat being cheesed
Idk ask suscat
its too difficult normally
it is a valid use of the word
Yeah but crocoR5ABOnO0w0 though.......
True...
Why is boy kisser pondering
I hate that this is probably a legit challenge
If challenge difficulty > 1000, then label as "masochism"
Yeah, yeah.
I don't think people really do challenges with the intention of enjoying the suffering
It's not really masochism
A number of challenge runs in games are to push the game to its limits and find out what is even possible to accomplish. Or, push yourself as a player to see what you can accomplish.
its a shit ton of conflicting statements
Even if the term isnt accurate, using it for absurd challenges (like that dshield one above) idrc
But the standard is very low
its used colloquially, the function is that the challenge derives frustration, yet its intentionally sought out and enjoyed regardless

The issue is how low the standard is in this community
Think of beating Legend of Zelda Windwaker without the wind
There's a video on that and it's really cool
Dsop5nbnhn210cn
and here comes why i say perspective is key
no im not a masochist because i play against players my age and not the under 7 little crickets football team ykwim
guys, when do you think is a good time to start doing p5 ?
buh
After 112
you’r a masochist for beating false knight
a real thing ive heard

i don't doubt it
A couple years ago R5AB was considered masochistic and also I only knew about 3 confirmed clears. I'm sure there's more. But it used to just be 3.
tbh, that1 is rough
R5ab is still reasonable to call masochistic imo
Like i do just dislike the term but i dont think thats absurd
I say couple years
Knowing that it's like 5 years ago
35 i think
Damn
R5ABad
Soon to be 38 lock in grey
no
buh
I get distracted easily
wat is avg run time 4 r5ab
Family guy clips
that feels like it would have the opposite effect
Tip: overcharm for r5ab
But that used to be definitely considered masochistic at the time
It might be an influx of new players that lowered the bar? Idk.
who knows where trends started
like calling nkg a dance for ex
(Ik its a voiceline but thats doesnt explain the popularity)
Voiceline
Oh that's been a trend longer than I have been around
buh
That's old
Im still pretty new to the community still
And I feel old 
But yea
I think it can only be called masochistic if the true intention going in is to suffer and enjoy that suffering. Otherwise it's just being challenge seeking.
I think it's because people beat tmg, then watch the tmg theme on yt
🗜️ 
there isnt any objective threshold for what counts - its relative and most people havent done pantheon 5
Probably
And the comments are all like
i never said it was objective
Grimm is like a dance
But you can still be reasonable
And they take that to themselves
And that bar is the point of irrationality
something like the dshield challenge just makes you ask why
Nobody really asks 'why' for p5
Because it makes sense
It's an achievement
p5 sounds like a slog
but tldr something doesnt have to be objective to be unreasonable
im prolly gonna stop at p4 if I ever get there
(Infact its often not)
The start kinda is for alot, effectively filler bosses
but you should try p5 out imo because of the unique bosses
thats what i thought would happen
realistically im prolly gonna get to p2 maximum
(Should also note that iirc most people havent done h1)
But it being an achievement is a poor excuse for why it's not masochism to go after
I know of an achievement in a game that is so so much worse than P5.
stop being so hard on yourself
give yourself some credit
wait which pantheon has nosk
nvm p1 and p3
I was more on the angle of it just being done by enough people that arent actively challenge players
It's an achievement I consider ludicrous and absurd and the name of the achievement literally makes the same joke
"Impossible, Right?"
Feel free to guess what game this is
Is that the crypt game
Know nothing about the game
But i remember melone saying the game was miserable to plat
It's absolutely miserable to plat
i was gonna say how did we get here but what the fuck is that
so is the community standard too low or just different from yours
Both
The term is too overused so atleast use it for stuff thats incomprehensible to attempt
and twin why is there an m at the end of ur name
why do you have a name
(Also the standard effectively doesnt exist, people just use the term for the sake of repeating trend buzzwords
Aka ive seen it used for stuff varying between very easy and very hard things)
I'll ask my dad
we should all just be numbers
can i pick number 283
Ill take 676767
Beat an All Zones Coda run
Who's Coda? Why is that so hard?
K so. Crypt of the Necrodancer is a rhythm game and roguelike. Coda is an unlockable challenge character.
What does she do?
Well. You have a dagger. You have the equivalent of 1HP. You move at double tempo. You die if you miss a beat, at double tempo. No you don't get any other weapons. You also die if you touch gold. Because that's also a thing.
In short, all the challenge characters merged into one and you're expected to win a run that's probably about 15-20 minutes long if you're slow playing and not speedrunning.
number choosing privileges revoked
Considering that each of the challenge characters on their own are brutal
Coda was considered impossible by the devs and yet still has an achievement
yeah its relative
because theres like a badummm while saying their name
and the m is some excess dummmm from the badummm
think the Netflix sound thing
I know like every tiny ass stupid thing in the game and I have played a stupid amount of time and I'm nowhere near ready for Coda
Especially since the unlock condition is to win an All Characters run. That's a winning run of every character back to back.
Honestly HK let us off very easy on the achievements
I have HK platted. It wasn't even that hard
It's not
I'm just lazy to do steel soul
For both games
Silksong is less laziness and more like skill issue
I just treated Steel Soul like a normal second run where I could do the alternate paths I didn't do on my first run like neglect Zote
That's what I'm gonna do
I need to get neglect, purity and banishment
I cant decide who i hate more
I love GPZ so much I hate the thought of Neglecting my goober friend 
I also love NKG so much it pained me to banish em
wait nvm
its so it can be read the same backwards too
palindrome or sum
i dont think you can read
GPZ my beloved
Gpz my beloved
GPZ my beloved
gpz the boss
Hi
Bai
hi
Buddy
hi
hi
whats ur pr in pop
2:47
goddamn
Yeah 😭
Kaiser lowkey buns
Why is the white defender ost one of the longest across both games?
Idk but it's an amazing track
The game also gave the best music to the worst areas
I'm looking at Queen's Gardens and Crystal Peaks
Saying buzzwords atp
Soul sanctum
-# Path of Pain
Soul Sanctum
True
The good music definitely takes some of the pain away from dealing with the area
Yes
a
Nothing helps with Deepnest though
Deepnest's music is the chitter of bugs
Without silksong spoilers
Hollow knight has longer tracks in general but in silksong out if its 53 tracks only 3 are longer
Ye
Its not even music
Waterways at least has some mild music but it's kinda forgettable
If I recall correctly anyway
I do listen the ost a lot but because waterways is not a track I dont remember much if it
Since it isnt much at all
Mm
Oh
My brain mixed up some Endless Ocean Blue World music for Waterways music
Because guess what I play in the background when I have the game music muted to play more idly
Ah
Should i save zote?
Endless Ocean Blue World music
It's that or Crypt of the Necrodancer if I'm practicing bosses or something
Yes
Yes
It just started playing (I have a playlist of the ost on)
What I find interesting is that I observed that GPZ's attack rhythm is weirdly synced to the music.
I play worse vs him with the music muted
Because I kinda learned to use the song audio cues to know when he'll attack
That would mean he has set intervals or its just a feeling you build ig
Anyways I gtg
Good talk
I fought GPZ a lot and now it just feels like I am predicting him and controlling the chaos of the fight because I just know what is coming
Bye!!
Lastly, what if the hollow knight ost got rerecorded with a live orchestra and the music ingame got updated to it like silksong
I did do the statue
Cya
That'd be hella cool
has anyone ever did HK hitless?
Yes
not The Hollow knight but a complete playthrough
elokis going for that right
has been
is he on the server or a yt
she* and both
Hi
oooh ok i am still trying to get the steelsoul achievements
but thats impressive that they can almost do the whole game hitless
its very satisfying how speedrunners clear this gauntlet but i only ever did it right once
free cake for me
Practise
i am playing like zote right now... it sucks
ello everyone
hi azure
how are you doing enddeous
There’s a visual cue
doing pretty good thx hbu
oh well i am done for it this run so
lol
is ||5 consecutively white swords attack (when he throws it) by pure vessel ||normal cuz somehow it happened to me
I think you wait near by the platform that spawns the thing when you see them come from the background you jump to spawn the rock thing then slash it when they line up
It’s easier than I put it
ye you probably get how I feel
but it also makes me come across as a douche who is self centered
soo I should probably stop
how's anyrad going?
Yeah like enddeous 💀

lol im sure people will understand p5ab is a huge achievement gleeful
probably rare but i dont it it should be anything abnormal
Oh did you beat it
not great if suscat tried to watch me he'd die immediately
: |
p5ab?

Yes
Alr gl r5
Ngl I recommend you do r04hog or something similar before r5
Unless you don’t have mods then just do radiant charmless on some bosses and practice!
damn p5ab really is a small achievement here compared to others lol
but atleast that means I am ready enough to atleast try to attempt r5 practice
Yeah ngl it’s quite the gap but r5 would be a nice achievement
It’s harder than 2.0 
Which is confirmed by a few r5 victors
i was gonna say since i have been doing steel soul runs i have becomve very good at false knight but as i was thinking it i almost got butchered by him
Ok well r04hog outside of like the demons like collector 💀
but honestly I will probably just be happy about p5ab for a few days
before locking into r5 completely
just do usual p5 runs everyday though
as like a bare minimum
do people do this?
I don't really plan on getting imposter syndrome lol
grey is p5ab a big achievement?
I would say so
ye, sorry if I was being annoying about it yesterday
or looked like I was too deep into my own head
i think it should be given its a difficulty jump like no other in the vanila game
wrong lol
there is atleast one bigger
but its up there
p5 to r5?
p5 is significantly harder than p4 is there something worse than that?
well it'd be p5ab to r5
well yeah but p5 to r5 is a double difficulty jump
I say a lot of things
you can't call that one jump
this is very true grey
its p5 to p5ab to r5
I don't think p5ab to r5 is bigger than p5 to p5ab
where did p4 come in to play
but it also isnt p5 to p5ab
its more like radhog/p5eb
Track that plays for: The Hollow Knight after phase 2 of the fight, and Path of Pain. Parts of it (stage 2 and 3, the vocals and strings) also play for the Birthplace climbing sequence where Void Heart is acquired: https://youtu.be/I0pUCSKVMX8

eb?
not all at once
same
but also sane people stopped listening to my difficulty comparisons ages ago
but im saying its not p5 -> p5ab
but then again grey my difficulty progression has been kinda similar to you
so i do listen to you grey
wait till you hear prime grey takes
which ones are those anyway\
huh maybe i misunderstoof then i . i got it now, yeah p5ab is definelty worse and what is radhog?.
but damn sub 10 p5 is a lot harder than even 11 hit p5
anything regarding p4ab
tbf that one is a joke
all hall of gods radiant
not doing p4ab is for comedic reasons
how is that harder than p5ab
considering all bindings glow actually rewrites hitless glow
it isnt?
its not
radhog is nothing compared to p5ab
calling it a joke is an understatement
p5ab > radhog ab evenb
surely not
p5ab is much harder
gmcg
atleast in my experience
what experience
even ab ascended absrad is miles harder than doing radhog 3 times in one day
you speedran everything 😭
I didn't do radHoGab for ages
Hai gr!!
hiiiiiii
buh i thought i was on a timer
kaiser is unironically the only person here who makes me feel my progress is slow
uhhh nvm is there bindings in HoG in the first place?
Hruuuu?
nah, you use mods
wow I got IGNORED
good hru
fuck so true
Good thx!!

so just let me just be clear so I don't gaslight myself here. Should I be proud of p5ab as a major milestone?
obviously lol
i realized like a few days ago i wasnt using quick cast
ye that's why I said gaslight
you should start being proud considerably before that guh
I have that habit
I mean I was
then I came here and was fully new
took some time to get used to it
kaiser
remember when I was dumb enough to think r5 is easier than p5ab?
nope
that was my thought process
but thats surprisingly common
at the start
p5ab gets overestimated alot by newer players and r5 gets underestimated
people dont really understand the difficulty of long challenges hitless
i literally did p5ab one more time today but died at the end
r5?
hitless p5
hitless pantheon 5
intentional cfm proc
r5 with anyrad build
ooh
and then send it as an explanatory thing
but seriously yall make me comprehend this. Just how big is the jump from p5ab to r5
@teamhitless
depends who you ask
imo, not that big
idk how to explain stuff like that, you just gotta try it and find out
i have never done even p5 cant say but i dont thit it should be that much
its quite a lot
