[fresh isle]

big damage

[foggy sable]

left shriek is so good on oblobbles

[compact wasp]

got it

there is just something about segment 2 to 4 which is the most inconsistent out of every other one for me

[empty lynx]

galien

[compact wasp]

galien is not a huge problem anymore

[noble ruin]

No, let people remain marmu haters for the rest of their lives

[foggy sable]

I will forever be a marmu hater

[noble ruin]

Same

I can only ever do her hitless in casual p5 runs

I've never done her hitless in r5 attempts

[fresh isle]

strat issue imo

[compact wasp]

eloki would you say every boss is a strat issue?

42 out of 42?

[noble ruin]

I do the strats but I feel like once I execute the opener, bullshit decides to fight me

[rare aurora]

i mean it’s the same old same old, parametrise your q with r and phi, then take the derivative with respect to time and then the square of the absolute value to get the velocity for the kinetic energy
ends up being the same as the one you have for polar coordinates + dz/dt

[noble ruin]

Absrad invis orbs are a bullshit issue

There's probably other bugs I'm less familiar with that aren't strat issues

But afaik in r5 you need to deal with bugs to get a verified clear still

[agile pewter]

Traitor walk

[fresh isle]

I mean I think all bosses are mostly consistent
I just think marmu doesn't require good mechanics just good strats

[agile pewter]

Its dumb enough to be bs

[noble ruin]

That's kinda a Strat issue

[agile pewter]

[foggy sable]

traitor walk is entirely a strat issue

[noble ruin]

You can avoid it ever being an issue by playing around it

[agile pewter]

Wtf

[noble ruin]

Some bugs are just complete bullshit fuck you get hit so rare no way to play around it

[naive dew]

@noble ruin @foggy sable @fresh isle

[fresh isle]

oro and mato <3

[noble ruin]

Hi melone

[foggy sable]

@naive dew

[umbral night]

Cool thnx

[fresh isle]

hi

[agile pewter]

Galien is a strat issue

[worthy peak]

? hmm

[glass abyss]

I’m happ that i Never encounterd that glitch

[noble ruin]

Haven't seen anything too bad from them

[fresh isle]

oro and mato has like 1 billion edge cases bugs

[noble ruin]

But I haven't fought them as much as you

[compact wasp]

okay that's good to know

[worthy peak]

[fresh isle]

fucking
teleport backwards dashslash

[foggy sable]

it is a very evil fight

[noble ruin]

That sounds peak af

[rare aurora]

gl!

[noble ruin]

Do you have any clips or anything

[fresh isle]

idk how I would even make a guide for galien its mostly vibes

[fresh isle]

I'd have to dig a lotttttt

[noble ruin]

Don't stand under him is a thing I had to learn

Quickslash kB is not enough to keep him from moving into you

[fresh isle]

but yea mato can just turn around after the cyclone slash

[noble ruin]

Amazing

[compact wasp]

oro and mato thankfully can be really consistent

[worthy peak]

:D thats why you do turn arounds!

[compact wasp]

cuz ddark is real

[fresh isle]

quickslash with mop its like so fine

[noble ruin]

I have not found this to be the case maybe I just can't press buttons fast enough

[fresh isle]

if u start slashing when he's already low then maybe an issue

[worthy peak]

Wha???

[fresh isle]

never heard of this

[foggy sable]

reminds me of a gpz bug

[fresh isle]

the slam stagger

lol

[foggy sable]

my favourite bug maybe

[noble ruin]

Might be cause I stop slashing to dash and then resume when he's too low?

Also I get too aggressive and follow him into the corner and get hit

Why bosses have collision right after being staggered I will not understand

While also being able to fly up in the air and backwards

[worthy peak]

oh wow...

fascinating...

[fresh isle]

yea never seen this

[compact wasp]

okay got 4 radiant oblobbles now

I will try to do like 20

[noble ruin]

Holy shit

I assume that was fixed in a patch after godhome released

I've never seen that before

I've never seen anyone ever experience that or even talk about that lol

[fresh isle]

same

[noble ruin]

Oh yeah all PlayStation copies aren't up to date

Soul master soft lock still exists

Oh yeah probably

When I played like a year ago they werent

[noble ruin]

Happened twice in my first playthrough idk how that got past testing

[compact wasp]

holy shit sheo accessed higher light wavelengths

[noble ruin]

Absrad void rising in plats still happened

Luckily I never did p5 on playstation

[naive dew]

hai

[noble ruin]

Bru

Hru

[naive dew]

hii

[naive dew]

Hii hru

[fickle wraith]

[compact wasp]

oh hi there fang

[naive dew]

Eepy i woke up 10 minutes ago wbu

[hidden spire]

Hi Azure

[naive dew]

Hihi

[noble ruin]

Thanks for informing me so I can sell mine early then buy a new one for cheap

[compact wasp]

how are you guys doing

[hidden spire]

Good, Nothing muchh wbuu

[compact wasp]

just oblobbles

eloki is always really helpful for bosses like that

well she is amazing in general

[naive dew]

Clover should i grind ds1 onori or sub or all 3 today

[compact wasp]

about like everything regarding this game

[fickle wraith]

what the fish

[solar rover]

once again i reached the place where i died last time... even cut 1.5 hours of time

[noble ruin]

What the fish I'm no longer barricaded

[compact wasp]

okay one more radiant oblobble

[compact wasp]

long story short I wil kill the person who made oblobbles if I could

[noble ruin]

You should grind subs and become my favourite twitch streamer

[sour flax]

guys if you think about it

[solar rover]

hope i dont mess up again

[sour flax]

if ² is squared wouldnt ⁴ be rectangled

[noble ruin]

Melone should play ds1 and then sub when I'm awake so I can watch

[hidden spire]

Hell yeah...let's do that

[naive dew]

I do not think i can bexomr a twitch streamer in like 8 hours

[noble ruin]

You can

[rare aurora]

a squee is a rectangle gang

[quartz cave]

is that so

squee is barely a real word

[fickle wraith]

@quartz cave

how do i get out of bed at oswald

[quartz cave]

@fickle wraith sorry new phone who is this

[quartz cave]

why would u get out of bed its still early

[fickle wraith]

fine i’ll just attach 400 c4 to myself and explode

[quartz cave]

just ender pearl out of bed no?

[fickle wraith]

because i’m thirsty

i’m rich

[fickle wraith]

ender pearls aren’t real

[compact wasp]

finally radiant all bindings oblobbles

I feel confident about em now smh

no like I got done with that

I think I have a rhythm with em now

[naive dew]

I dont think so

[naive dew]

I might do this too im still in bed at 1pm hiii oswald

[compact wasp]

now first try normal radiant

[quartz cave]

hi hru

[naive dew]

Eepy wbu

[noble ruin]

Get people to yell at you

[indigo lily]

Guys, if you were able to add a short cut between one area to another in both games, what areas would it be?

[compact wasp]

none. dream gate

[fickle wraith]

was gonna do that but my gf is asleep

[indigo grail]

Hmm...Abyss and Deepnest for lore

[noble ruin]

Do you have like 20

[fickle wraith]

i have 2

[naive dew]

Hii maya

[noble ruin]

Get the other one then

[indigo grail]

Not telling for Silksong because this is #hk-discussion

[fickle wraith]

the other one don’t fw me no mo

she’s busy

[fickle wraith]

hii melone from runescape

[naive dew]

Why am i from runescape

[indigo lily]

I'd personally do sands of karak to mount fay

[naive stone]

At this point I'm just first-trying bosses

[worthy peak]

Why is pure zote starting to feel not rng....

[indigo grail]

||Sands of Karak to Citadel (Memorium) for me for Silksong||

[noble ruin]

Everything is connected pretty nicely now that I think about it

[bitter jolt]

whats pure zote? any zote or?

wait nvm i just searched it up on youtube

[sick mica]

im randomly just fighting bosses on ascended and for some reason grimmchild just decided to lock in and kill most of them

[bitter jolt]

its literally just called pure zote lol

[empty lynx]

so it's genuinely just gpz?

[indigo grail]

https://tenor.com/view/whatever-go-my-scarab-hollow-knight-grimm-grimmchild-child-gif-8965439998311516882

[bitter jolt]

nah the mods called pure zote

[worthy peak]

yep

[empty lynx]

and what does it do

[worthy peak]

The minions take so many hits

[worthy peak]

changes every attack in various ways...

[sick mica]

bro grimmchild acc on demon mode man 😭😭

[worthy peak]

but minions get access to the entire set of minions from eternal ordeal

actaully no theres one or two they dont get...

Though zote gets a different version of both of those

Ill record a video and use this as an excuse for selfpromo

basically the fight is just gambling he doesnt summon the flying soul sucking minions..

[thin violet]

There are patterns that start to emerge after a while trust me

despite the fact its zote i felt like everything (minus the insta jump out if the flail attack) is pretty telegraphed

[worthy peak]

yeah... Everything is definitely well telegraphed... unfortanutely when theres 4 soul suckers and 5 other random minions that doesnt help much...

[thin violet]

Oh you've made it towards the end? I recommend going up the wall and pogoing off of them all, maybe even c-dashing towards them. If you pogo em you can even pogo off of zote if he wants to go back and forth in the air

Unless you're going for rad runs, then swing on that mf lol

With strength they each take four hits to die

[worthy peak]

ob ive won 3 times now

[thin violet]

Oooo nice

[worthy peak]

Strangely feels both incredibly rng and not rng at all

[thin violet]

oh wait you're the dude going for p7 arent you?

[worthy peak]

:D

[worthy peak]

yep

[thin violet]

As one of the victors i wish you luck lol

[worthy peak]

any tips for pale shadow and nailgod sly?

cause those feel unbeatable

[thin violet]

Nailgod sly has a lot of telegraphed patterns, it just looks intimidating but in reality its just a cranked up version of mystic ze'mer

[worthy peak]

i have never fought ze'mer

so that comparision is lost on me

Like literally never even seen the fight either

[thin violet]

For pale prince always having soul for d-dark is wise. I'd recommend practice jumping through the daggers without cloak and doing the blade maze move too without movement (you can dash the final 2 of the 6 safely)

[worthy peak]

blade maze?

[thin violet]

Damn aight, which moves you struggling on?

[worthy peak]

uhh, currently all of them

[thin violet]

Uhhh when all the daggers come from the walls and ceilings

[worthy peak]

is that like only appearing a certain amount through the fight...

[thin violet]

It appears consistently at the last 25% of the fight

the percentage i made up but im pretty confident in that number

[thin violet]

Whats your current build?

[trail ruin]

Guys new update

[thin violet]

I just knew it'd be a gun lmao

[worthy peak]

Uhh i think strength quickslash mop/shaman and heart/sb and nmg

[trail ruin]

Loool

[worthy peak]

currently going with heart and shaman cause i needed the health for asc everwatchers...

[indigo lily]

Who'd win in a fight, Marmu, or Pale king?

[trail ruin]

Guys any tips for steel soul? I died like 4 times with fragile heart

[worthy peak]

Well pale king would die due to the presence of an incredible evil... it would be unbearable for him

[thin violet]

I like steady body but not nmg, i could never really find a proper area to use n-arts. Also if i may make an odd recommendation maybe sharp shadow? You can dash through the beam shots towards him easier and if you dash through the great slashes you guaranteed get a 1 mask heal

[worthy peak]

[thin violet]

Btw for each of the 3 staggers you can always get a 3 mask heal

Oh btw i do agree in using quick slash, strength, and a nail range charm

I did that for my rad run so makes sense

[worthy peak]

more ing

[thin violet]

-For the dash slashes I like to dash through the first, parry the second and pogo the third
-For the great slashes i actually found it consistent to pogo them? You cant insta spam pogo the second but it worked for me
-For the rapid fire bullets always try to parry, jump, and the go behind him as he dashes

Uhhh lets see

[worthy peak]

how do you like parry them?

[thin violet]

Theres a pattern for where he'll appear as it will always be close to you

[compact wasp]

ngl this early game hell has the same vibe as power source to event horizon hell in farewell

[thin violet]

If you walk away and swing you'll have more of an opportunity to land a parry

[worthy peak]

[thin violet]

Its a very hard move to get consistent, but worse case scenario you could d-dark or try to dash away the second hit with no cloak but i couldn't nail that

[compact wasp]

you get what I mean lol

[worthy peak]

i dont have brilliant understandding... just some amount...

[thin violet]

-For when he yells out and rains hell from the sky, if you're quick enough and know when its coming you can land a full shriek on him when hes yelling
-For the "nail strike" im going to call it (it happens eight times and ramps up in speed). I liked to parry the first, dash through the second, parry the third & fourth, dash the fifth, and if you spam for the last three it is very easy to get it

[storm flax]

@molten yoke hru

[thin violet]

I can send you my rad vid if you want btw

[worthy peak]

yes pls

[thin violet]

One sec

Want me to send it here or via dm?

[worthy peak]

Eithers fine

[thin violet]

https://youtu.be/ezihfF7e3Hc

I list my deaths, charms, etc in the desc.

-For the cyclone slash you can either wait to parry or jump into it, but you will 90% be forced to parry twice

forgot about that one lol

[fickle wraith]

@storm flax

[worthy peak]

Why do bosses always look so much faster while im playing... its like oh youve noted how to combat this arghh was it this fast before!!!

[worthy peak]

um how do you like time the parry?

[thin violet]

i dont know how to explain it but i do it in the video. You cant do it instantly though

[storm flax]

Heyo

[thorn ruin]

@storm flax

[thin violet]

For this move i was wrong there are nine hits but the strat remains the same

[fickle wraith]

i need a moment wow... thats not.. oh god........

[thin violet]

Albeit you parry one more :p

[storm flax]

Gm

[storm flax]

wha

[thin violet]

OH for the nail rain where he shoots at you from the sky: you can hit him but never go in the middle when hes shooting as when his model needs to turn the beam will spaz out

[fickle wraith]

edited message,,,,,

[worthy peak]

[storm flax]

Oh 😭

[fickle wraith]

yea :3

[thin violet]

maybe i should make that guide to doing p7 afterall lol

[worthy peak]

would watch

[thin violet]

it'd be long but yee

Oh btw when you're in the actual pantheon you can heal once before the fight starts

It comes directly after tribe of battle so you can probs get 4-5 heals there (at the end of the fight) and then an extra before fighting sly

[compact wasp]

i think for today I will just try to get past oblobbles as many times as I can in a run

to just kill the anxiety part of it

[thin violet]

you're doing p7 too?! oml

[compact wasp]

no

I am not doing p7 dw lol

[thin violet]

Oh phew

[foggy sable]

surely p7 would be fun to do

and not terrible

[compact wasp]

gotta take this the same way as geometry dash probably

one section in like 2 weeks

[thin violet]

It kinda is, but my god it is one hell of a skill ceiling

[compact wasp]

grey have you ever played gd?

or any rhythm game at all?

[foggy sable]

I tried but I don't like it

[thin violet]

If anyone new came in after doing like radhog or p5 for the first time then they'd get floored

[foggy sable]

too much flashing lights

[thin violet]

sameeee

[compact wasp]

and what about osu?

[foggy sable]

it makes me feel a bit sick playing it

osu I haven't

[thin violet]

Didn't stop me from doing some old hard demons though

[compact wasp]

you might like mania

or standard tbh

[foggy sable]

maybe I should try some time

[compact wasp]

looking at it. I doubt even a p5ab would be enough

[thin violet]

Roma i see this react lmfao

Sly mf

[compact wasp]

yee

[foggy sable]

I wonder what I put in my practice+ modpack that isn't in practice

[thin violet]

No certainly not

[compact wasp]

in what?

in which game?

[foggy sable]

hk

I have a modpack called practice

and one called practice+

[thin violet]

The reason why i said that though is because Roma (the guy who made it) did like radhog and p5 went straight into doing p7 and it took him like 7 months to do it

[compact wasp]

what do you have in that?

[worthy peak]

gl

[compact wasp]

unironically gotta treat this the same way as celeste goldens

[foggy sable]

this is in practice+

[compact wasp]

I am getting farewell ptsd flashbacks over here

[worthy peak]

oh that reminds me, does increased hp from ascended just cause a bug or is there anything i can do about it (for tribe of battle)

[compact wasp]

and I do not like it

this is so SOO SIMILAR to the golden hell of power source to event horizon

[foggy sable]

maybe practice doesn't have hp bar or show hp on death

[compact wasp]

interesting

[thin violet]

Yes, you have to fight it on attuned because it wasnt really ported correctly. For ascended + rad the traitor lord will stop fighting once his health depletes enough

[foggy sable]

I think this one is for low equipment challenges where I don't know hp levels

and the other one is for segment practice

[compact wasp]

you really do take this very seriously

[foggy sable]

not really

[compact wasp]

well more than most

[foggy sable]

I just made a modpack when doing rabono fights because I didn't know how close I was to winning

[compact wasp]

ohh ye that makes sense

[worthy peak]

:(

[foggy sable]

you wouldn't know this but until recently I was completely opposed to practicing for runs

[compact wasp]

oh why?

was it just boring?

[foggy sable]

because I didn't like doing it

[thin violet]

If you want a challenge then overcharm with a useless charm

[foggy sable]

no more or less to it really

[compact wasp]

ye that's a fair reason

[foggy sable]

so for r5 and for r5 charmless until I was like 2 hit pb

[thin violet]

Ooo nice

[foggy sable]

and for everything else around that time like p5ab, no nail p5

and more

[compact wasp]

so you did end up making things harder than they need to be

[foggy sable]

yes

[compact wasp]

like a lot harder

[foggy sable]

yep

I also didn't watch other peoples clears or anything

so it was all just figuring things out

[compact wasp]

honestly that just makes it impressive that you got r5 so fast

especially so soon after p5ab

[foggy sable]

I think that doing it this way is when I enjoy it the most

[compact wasp]

Mhm that is fair

[foggy sable]

inefficient as it is

[compact wasp]

honestly also a bit relatable

sometimes its easy to just get lost in the details

[foggy sable]

only when the runs got much more difficult I had to practice

which was a bit sad

[compact wasp]

only when runs got more difficult said by an r5 victor

so r5 charmless and further ahead I assume?

[foggy sable]

yes, so when I came back to r5 charmless to get it

and most runs after although not all

Like, when I do nail only r5 I won't be practicing but I am for harder runs

[compact wasp]

that would be interesting to see

[foggy sable]

I have a low pb from back ages ago

but it was a long time ago now

[compact wasp]

in which year did you even start hollow knight?

[foggy sable]

2022 but I didn't start doing challenge runs until last year

basically I did up to radHoG I think

[compact wasp]

so for 4 years you were just messing around?

[foggy sable]

I didn't play in 2023 or 2024 really

I moved onto things like celeste

[compact wasp]

fair enough actually

I am prety sure most people do

[foggy sable]

I did a lot of randomisers though

but challenge running was never really on the radar

[compact wasp]

i see

[foggy sable]

and now I do weird niche challenges so how things change I guess

[compact wasp]

celeste just does that to people

it just has that power

[foggy sable]

well it wasn't just celeste, I was experimenting in challenge running in other games

but celeste was a main focus for it

[compact wasp]

yeah cuz sj

I want to get back into sj

or maybe even spring collab

[empty lynx]

i should try celeste now that i can run nine slops

Surely won't have to force my way through 1.5 fph

[worthy peak]

oh @empty lynx are you still interested in what pure zote looks like

[empty lynx]

i have a feeling i saw something similar before could be it

Zote why the FUCK are you ourple

[worthy peak]

Im gonna selfpromo now https://youtu.be/7DCaf6UMJ7I :D

[worthy peak]

cause he wants to be

[empty lynx]

Let me see that shit

[bitter jolt]

wait what about me

[empty lynx]

Why did he just get very indecisive

[barren imp]

finally got 100% achivements on hk

[bitter jolt]

https://youtu.be/8V-BL5fERrM

[bitter jolt]

yooo ggs

[empty lynx]

Fucking hates you and wants you to die i think

[empty lynx]

Ggs bro

[barren imp]

speedrun 2 was pretty fun ngl

[worthy peak]

ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!

[bitter jolt]

nooooo

[barren imp]

got a time of 1:55

[bitter jolt]

says the m*rk *f pr*de enjoyer

[worthy peak]

MoP is good and fun its the best charm

[tulip narwhal]

Do solar express and pumber

[bitter jolt]

m*p is buns

[empty lynx]

ma*k ** pride

[worthy peak]

you guys are so mean :(

[bitter jolt]

:blep:

[worthy peak]

congrats

[empty lynx]

with all respect this jit would replace baldur for mark of pride against anyrad

[bitter jolt]

he did tho

😭

[barren imp]

now i need to do speed completion, steel soul and steel heart in silksong

yesterday i tried to do that but i died to ||last judge||

[worthy peak]

and it carriedd!!!

[bitter jolt]

no it didnt

[worthy peak]

I tried to get a baldur clear and couldnt

[bitter jolt]

even dreamshield wouldve been better

[empty lynx]

Can't spoil names of stuff in silksong here but yes steel soul in silksong is alot harder

[worthy peak]

It made abusing the luck i got in plats much easier

[worthy peak]

dreamshield doesnt meaningfully let you dodge anything more

MoP does

[bitter jolt]

its extra damage

[barren imp]

still cant say silksong stuff?

damn

[bitter jolt]

more than m*p provides

[empty lynx]

@evil illusion2 dshield hate

[worthy peak]

MoP let me pogo / reach so many times i wouldnt be able to

[bitter jolt]

also dreamshield also deletes some orbs

[bitter jolt]

you should be facedancing anyways

[worthy peak]

did you know the boss teleports?

[bitter jolt]

did you know you can dash

[worthy peak]

Plus MoP gives more space to pog

[empty lynx]

Burnnnnnnnn

[worthy peak]

Which notably doesnt always cover the required distance

[bitter jolt]

that's just a skill issue ngl

thats only true for 2.0 and the only reason its true is because if you're too far away you can't do CAS

[worthy peak]

Honestly, So is not being able to finish climb reliably without baldurs shell from 9 masks

[bitter jolt]

I can semiconsistently hitless plats

:blep:

[empty lynx]

Vc has 14 people join up

[bitter jolt]

I could do baldurless pretty easily if I wanted to

[frozen storm]

Hi Michael hi endy

[bitter jolt]

hi gui hru

[barren imp]

i should beat anyrad soon

its been like 4 months since i last played

[frozen storm]

I woke up at 09:50 for the first time in my life

[bitter jolt]

strawberry here spreading his INCORRECT opinions on M*p

[barren imp]

my best is 9/14 plats right now

[bitter jolt]

lol

[bitter jolt]

how

[barren imp]

from 0

[bitter jolt]

did you mess up a wing buffer

[barren imp]

from the start*

[frozen storm]

As always

[bitter jolt]

yea i know

[barren imp]

idk its been a while

i think i have it on youtube

hold on

[worthy peak]

So? Im giving an example of how needing baldur shell can be a skill issue. Pointing out that thats whayy charms are there for!!! So saying its only a skill issue that mop is helpful is meaningless

[frozen storm]

Shaman

[barren imp]

ok yeah i do

lemme see what i died to rq

[worthy peak]

(cause baldurless isnt that bad)

[bitter jolt]

needing charms is a skill issue just do i-14r smh

[worthy peak]

:( but i have a skill issue

[barren imp]

ok so my baldur broke so i was just climbing as fast as i could and i died

[bitter jolt]

can you send video

[bitter jolt]

[barren imp]

youtube.com/watch?v=8s3phtPV6nA

[bitter jolt]

what? how are you out of charges on plat 9?

[barren imp]

uh...

i use baldur on other phases too

[empty lynx]

Ip grabber

youtube.com/watch?v=8s3phtPV6nA

[frozen storm]

aren't you like supposed to use baldur only for plats

[barren imp]

oh

i had 0 charges on plats lmao

[frozen storm]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=8s3phtPV6nA

[worthy peak]

Id wait to use baldur like 5 plats from top then use ddark on the remaining three after that if i only had one chrge...

[barren imp]

i have 2 plats attempts so far

[bitter jolt]

you shouldn't be healing midphase

[barren imp]

and i beat it with a 2.3x? damage buff i think

[barren imp]

i shouldnt?

[bitter jolt]

I mean you can try

but you have to make sure you don't use baldur

[worthy peak]

better baldur takes the hit then actually taking the hit imo

[bitter jolt]

nah

just don't get hit

[worthy peak]

this doesnt actually contradict my claim

[bitter jolt]

was joking

anyways i think just taking the hit is better

[worthy peak]

jokes should still have some level of reasonableness

[bitter jolt]

because you can heal it back, like after ground or after beam wall if its during plats

[frozen storm]

Radiant absrad is annoying

I don't want to ddark every 3 seconds

[bitter jolt]

you cant get the baldur charge back

[worthy peak]

They should either a - if they were true contradict pr b- not contradict but be true

[worthy peak]

but like if you dont have a charge you can just try to make it up two extra platforms...

[bitter jolt]

also you shouldn't be healing in a spot you can't heal consistently in

[bitter jolt]

yeah i was considering that

I still think it's better you tank the hit though, especially in ground

in plats if its like tc bb then i guess you can use a charge and skip plat 8 baldur

[worthy peak]

I guess its gonna depend on current health and amount of phase left

[barren imp]

oh wait no nvm my best is 15/whatever the amount is

[bitter jolt]

def

[bitter jolt]

16

[bitter jolt]

also what is your loadout

[barren imp]

uh

hold on lemme see if i can find it

[worthy peak]

We should do like loads of maths on it

[bitter jolt]

that 15/16 run was really unfortunate, you shouldve cleared that run

[bitter jolt]

lol

[worthy peak]

That certainly wouldnt be a waste that is basically impossible to use knowledge

[barren imp]

.

[worthy peak]

And simply not necessary where its relevant

[barren imp]

baldur shell, shaltwart shell, carefree melody, quick slash, steady body

[bitter jolt]

I think if you have 4 or more masks and you're certain you have to tank a hit, just use a baldur if you still have all charges

[worthy peak]

id advise strength for cfm

[bitter jolt]

yup

[bitter jolt]

your loadout will work

but like

yeah

[frozen storm]

Michael are you a 2.0 victor

[bitter jolt]

no

[frozen storm]

Oh I did rad sly that's cool

[bitter jolt]

he hasnt even beated asc 1.0

[worthy peak]

Thats whaat you htink...

Hi grey

[foggy sable]

hii gui

[frozen storm]

Doing good?

[tulip narwhal]

Gui when geoguessr

[foggy sable]

I'm doing fine

[bitter jolt]

what is your sword rain strat

[foggy sable]

for hypocrisy reasons I won't disclose the hk run I'm doing

[frozen storm]

Maybe when I get home definitely

[worthy peak]

So i jump. and slash up twice

[bitter jolt]

lmao it's ok grey, we both already know that our ideas of fun are equally incorrect

[foggy sable]

mine is more correct some of the time

[bitter jolt]

huh interesting

[frozen storm]

Great to gear

[worthy peak]

please tell me though

i wanna know so bd now

[foggy sable]

imagine something awful

(1 nail damage oblobbles)

[worthy peak]

So marmu at all

[frozen storm]

Grey why do you do that to yourself

[bitter jolt]

dam

how much hp do they have

[foggy sable]

750 each

• like 200 for final phase

[foggy sable]

I just wanted to

[frozen storm]

I might be living under a cave but aren't you trying to beat r45?

[silk robin]

fuck

[foggy sable]

I am easily distracted

[frozen storm]

Makes sense

[ashen ginkgo]

@magic storm I gave that one Pokémon centre nurse a shiny foongus

[bitter jolt]

[bitter jolt]

we call it r5ab but yeah

[ashen ginkgo]

@magic storm Alsooooooo can you please help me get my gourgeist

[frozen storm]

I know
r45 has less characters

Shoe radiant done

[foggy sable]

it is evil

[bitter jolt]

gl lol

[foggy sable]

running it for like 5 days without running something else is a pb probably

[worthy peak]

clearly make sure to focus on just one...

[bitter jolt]

btw do nail arts do 2 or 1 damage

[worthy peak]

i dont think health increases properly that way...

[rare cove]

I FINALLY BEAT COLO 2

[bitter jolt]

ggs

[foggy sable]

it does on radiant I think

[foggy sable]

2, except cyclone which is 1

[frozen storm]

I hate having to swap between eater and mop for every single boss

[bitter jolt]

ahk i see

[worthy peak]

oh i thought it always did on attuned but didnt on rad...

Obblobles, absrad, Markoth, white defender, the hollow knight, oro and mato, and watcher knights

[quartz cave]

youd laugh at me for being bad

u can help with writing the popsci article if u want

[rare aurora]

bro wtf do you mean

[quartz cave]

my physics is childs play for u

😭

[rare aurora]

so what

[summer nacelle]

are those all that's missing?

[quartz cave]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-dog-happy-dog-feliz-aniversário-feliz-gif-1848492113741934919

[frozen storm]

Yes

[rare aurora]

your physics is also childs play for your teacher

[summer nacelle]

my god you really left the worst to the last huh

at least you have gpz and failed champion out of the way

anyway, here's a recommendation for radlobbles: dreamshield

[frozen storm]

Nail art spam

[summer nacelle]

it's trash in everywhere else but it makes radlobbles much easier

[frozen storm]

Dreamshield won't be that much helpful

[summer nacelle]

i know it's normally shit

but it helped me for this

js

[cursive flume]

Yo is this good for NKG: unbreakable strength, unbreakable heart, mark of pride

[strong blade]

just did rad pure vessel first tryy

[empty lynx]

Nice

[strong blade]

unbreakable hearts useless just has you tank 1 extra hit

[strong blade]

ty

[empty lynx]

Pantheon or base game? Because you need grimmchild for the latter

[cursive flume]

Base game

[spark anvil]

let us discuss

[strong blade]

yeah u do need grimmchild

[spark anvil]

about thy game

[strong blade]

sea of sorrowwwwwww

whennnnnnn

[empty lynx]

You do need to swap heart for grimmchild then
Unless you already counted it in. But in that case you want to get an extra notch and replace unbreakable heart for quickslash

[empty lynx]

bad game tbh

[tropic nest]

Its fine if things are bad bad
Unn is better for nkg always but heart isnt bad

[cursive flume]

Alr I’ll try it out

[empty lynx]

yea heart is like very lowkey for nkg

but at the end of the day it's just 2 heals

[strong blade]

idk man nkg is more of just getting used to youre not tryna tank more hits maybe if ur comfortable with spells abyss shreking w shaman stone helps or else just use full nail w quick slash unbreakable strength mark of pride

[vocal inlet]

nkg lets u heal about 5 trillion times so heart isn't so bad

[spark anvil]

why are you in the discord then

[empty lynx]

bad game but good people

[spark anvil]

hate game but like people?

this community is weird bro what you on about

[copper spruce]

bad game bad people

[spark anvil]

LOOK AT YOUR PFP

[copper spruce]

No

[spark anvil]

people are saying hk is bad

HOLLOW KNIGHT ISNT BAD

EXACTLY

AND 1 LEFT

[copper spruce]

Hollow knight sucks

[spark anvil]

SAY IT AGAIN I DARE YOU

I DOUBLR DARE YOU#

[copper spruce]

it again

[tropic nest]

[copper spruce]

True

[spark anvil]

WE CAN HAVE A DEBATE THAT CAN GO ON FOR 9 HOURS ABOUT CARE STORY DEVS BUT THE ONLY REASON YOU HATE THE GAME IS BECAUSE YOU ARE BAD SO DONT SAY HK IS BAD WHEN YOU YOURESELF ARE BAD AT THE GAME

[tropic nest]

[copper spruce]

It insists upon itself

[pallid mesa]

i was so close to beating p4

[willow willow]

and that's why you did not care for it?

[copper spruce]

It insists upon itself

[willow willow]

valid

[spark anvil]

Same guy that thinks rgb gives more fps lmao

[copper spruce]

whats rgb

[spark anvil]

dumbass

this guy is probably 8 years old

[willow willow]

im pretty sure he's just quoting a family guy clip

[spark anvil]

real

[bitter jolt]

all the good players know hk is ass

[spark anvil]

he thinks the best game is steal a brainrot lmaoooooooo

[spark anvil]

why are you even in the discord

[bitter jolt]

because i play the game a lot

[ebon depot]

Why are the newgens not seeing the obvious bait

[tropic nest]

Who are you genuinely
End has been a regular here for a while

[spark anvil]

so you're hating on the game yet you play it

[bitter jolt]

it's fun when i dont have any goals
but that's few and far between

[tropic nest]

[ebon depot]

Most people here have hundreds or thousands of hours in the game theyre trolling

[copper spruce]

I hate this game so much that I spent 7 hours on it

[willow willow]

its good if you quit before false knight

[bitter jolt]

lol

[spark anvil]

ragebait is crazy

[spark anvil]

look at this guys pfp lmao

[bitter jolt]

?

lol

[tropic nest]

Bye

[bitter jolt]

cya

[copper spruce]

Hollow knight

[bitter jolt]

when i first saw this yessir guy I thought he was the somewhat regular

I forgot the other guys name lol

begins with y tho

ah yea

[spark anvil]

max uneployment

[bitter jolt]

how did I get that confused lmao

[copper spruce]

Y is uncommon tbf

[bitter jolt]

yea but he still shows up every now and then

[copper spruce]

It happens

[willow willow]

many such cases

i dont write my own speeches

[frozen storm]

THERE'S NO WAY

The power went out

[bitter jolt]

lol rip

:<

[frozen storm]

I was at PV on p4 charm binding

[bitter jolt]

noooo

[frozen storm]

I'm not even mad

[bitter jolt]

once i was streaming and my power cut out

i am so glad it cut during ground and not like climb or final

lol

[bitter jolt]

lol was it on the first try

[sick mica]

im so confused

how did i just first try watcher knights

[tropic nest]

Do pv charmless then use invuln iirc

[frozen storm]

If it was on PC yeah

But it was on Xbox

[bitter jolt]

wait teqnok what are you working on rn in hk

ik you're a p5 runner but idr if you've done r5 yet

[frozen storm]

They are doing f5 iirc

[tropic nest]

R3ab r4ab f5 r5

Whatever sounds interesting atm

[sick mica]

aint played in months and i first try watcher knights, im still in shock

[bitter jolt]

ah yea

[vestal sky]

@quartz cave

[bitter jolt]

for some reason for the longest time I thought you were able to do r5 for fun, like greyfire level if not better

genuinely may have confused you for teano 😭

[tropic nest]

In due time

[bitter jolt]

lol i believe

[umbral night]

Me too

[copper spruce]

Until the imposter syndrome grows

[bitter jolt]

yeah lol

[frozen storm]

craziest intro of an album ngl

[solar rover]

HOW AM i getting worse at the game

[frozen storm]

He never used sharp shadow

[willow willow]

i have no clue then

[vestal sky]

thank you twin

[umbral night]

Same
No idea how

[solar rover]

i should change my server nickname to Alen 'I can play steel soul'

[quartz cave]

omg swan

[solar rover]

i mean how can i die and loose all my progress again

... i hate this game

time for another run

[magic storm]

@ashen ginkgo I’m free now if you still want to trade

[raw sonnet]

hi

[umbral night]

You know what i do?
First run - die in sanctum
Second run - die in wastes
Third run - die in greenpath
Fourth run - die in king's pass

[umbral night]

Hi

[raw sonnet]

heya

[solar rover]

i tel lyou mine last to last to last run i died to the last dreamer

[raw sonnet]

@solar rover did u beat hk in steel mode?

[solar rover]

then i died to uumuu

then i died to stalker

now i died to watcher knights

[umbral night]

Stalker??

[solar rover]

no i am getting worse at the game

[frozen storm]

You said you hated swans...

[raw sonnet]

practice

[solar rover]

the things in the deep nest

[frozen storm]

And ducks...

[quartz cave]

i might have mixed them up with geese

[solar rover]

you would expect 15 failed runs and boss practices would be enough

[umbral night]

Oh
Those big two damage guys?
Makes sense

[solar rover]

but when i have to do it for real i choke

[solar rover]

yeah, normally i just parry kill them

that time i just died

atleast the only good thing about these deaths is that i am getting better at spells

[umbral night]

They're difficult for me too
I always die

[frozen storm]

Stalking devouts

[frozen storm]

How?

[umbral night]

Mhm

[solar rover]

where are you at rn?

im steel soul

[vestal sky]

swans are majestic and dignified geese thirst only for blood

[willow willow]

almost ended my run yesterday

[vestal sky]

there’s a reason why tchaikovsky wrote swan lake and not goose lake

[umbral night]

Sorry I'm out of it rn, what is the question exactly?

[umbral night]

Mhm

[willow willow]

steel soul progression i think

[umbral night]

Ohh

[solar rover]

yes

[solar rover]

i knew you would misunderstand

after all those deaths sometimes braincells stop working

[umbral night]

Last time i did this route:
Fk full kill + city crest, Hornet + dash, claw + mantis lords, crest route to city, sanctum + dive, city storerooms elevator to crossroads, cpeaks + cdash

Then i died trying out qga

That's the furthest I've gotten yet

[dusky elbow]

Steel soul?

[umbral night]

Yes

[dusky elbow]

Damn I lost a run yesterday cuz I forgot it was steel soul and tried shade skipping

[umbral night]

Oh so someone other than me has done it

[solar rover]

the furthest i have gotten i got 2 dreamers and then died to uumuu

[solar rover]

i also almost tried it

but didnt

[dusky elbow]

I think my furthest was monomon then I died in deepnest

[umbral night]

That's pretty close to the end
You'll get it

[solar rover]

at that time my braincells were working

[solar rover]

yeah but rn i am back to 0 well green path entrance but same

difference

[umbral night]

I mean once you do the routing it becomes easier to avoid the same mistakes
Unless sometimes you're just not in the mood or unfocused

But well I'm sure you'll get it soon

[willow willow]

fragile heart helps so much

[silver spoke]

would radianting purevessel charmless be impressive

ive made it to the last stun

but the stupid tentacle attack always throws me off guard

[dusky elbow]

Honestly, yes it would

[prisma cradle]

Hello Alen👋

[solar rover]

hello

[prisma cradle]

@umbral night I am wondering ahve you 112% the game?

[umbral night]

No

I'm at 99

[quartz cave]

theyre near identical

[prisma cradle]

Oh I thought you had haha

[umbral night]

I see

[prisma cradle]

Nice are you working for 112

[quartz cave]

youre onto something

[umbral night]

Not particularly
Sometimes

[covert rover]

i finally beat p5 and PoP right after that im the happiest guy alive rn

[prisma cradle]

I remember that you were guiding me and helping me very much before! Thanks for that

[silver spoke]

great job man

[prisma cradle]

@umbral night

[umbral night]

Np

[prisma cradle]

Now it seems like I have surpassed you hahah

[covert rover]

ty bro i feel free from this game now i can move onto silksong

[umbral night]

Good for you man
Keep going

[prisma cradle]

Thanks

I only have nkg and pantheons left

[silver spoke]

anybody here do RADHOG

[prisma cradle]

Nice!

[prisma cradle]

What’s that

[silver spoke]

radiant hall of gods

[dusky elbow]

I try

[silver spoke]

purevessel took me like 4 hours

abs rad prob took about 3

[dusky elbow]

I don’t have them unlocked

Sadly

[umbral night]

Me neither

You will in due time

[dusky elbow]

I think I’m only missing P4 and P5 bosses and GPZ

[foggy sable]

I have been convinced thoroughly that oblobbles sucks

[silver spoke]

yeah I have radianted everything

[dusky elbow]

Damn

[naive dew]

EVERYTHING ?!"

[silver spoke]

I can prove it

[solar rover]

hornet done once again

[umbral night]

Is radianted the right word?
I'm feeling itchy from it

[dusky elbow]

I resently radiented NKG with the worst charm build

[naive dew]

i dont belive you can you PLEASE prove iut

[dusky elbow]

Holy

[willow willow]

what gave you the most trouble?

[naive dew]

what the hell!! you are the greatest gamer of al time

[solar rover]

one would expect after all this i can do all bosses in the run better but in all of them i take so many hits ,,, rather my first run was the one with the least hits until death

[compact wasp]

omg so good

probably the best in the world

[silver spoke]

most people dont have trouble on bosses I have trouble on, but I had trouble on soul tyrant, markoth, purevessel, and abs rad.

[dusky elbow]

Isnt that fireb0rn?

[silver spoke]

soul tyrant was the most annoying and purevessel was the hardest for me

yeah no im not that good

[dusky elbow]

Soul tyrant sucks

[compact wasp]

hoi there mellone

[willow willow]

oh yeah radiant soul tyrant is SO tanky
i struggled a lot with oro+mato and watcher knights

[prisma cradle]

You are built different

[dusky elbow]

Watcher knights are annoying

[prisma cradle]

Congrats!

[silver spoke]

the second phase of soul tyrant sucks because I try to quick kill but then I get hit by an orb

[solar rover]

i found him fun tho

[umbral night]

Same

[compact wasp]

ye soul tyrant can be fun

[foggy sable]

soul tyrant is fun at times

[dusky elbow]

Fair but for a casual player

[compact wasp]

just a bit tanky at times

[foggy sable]

most times tbf

[willow willow]

yeah i feel like they gave him way too much extra health
i'd take spikes at the edges of the arena over this

[compact wasp]

hoi there grey

[solar rover]

i am a casual

[silver spoke]

I would take markoth arena over it

[foggy sable]

hi azure

[willow willow]

markoth didnt take me that long because i spent 2 hours practicing him on asc for p5

[compact wasp]

huh I never realized I chose my pronouns as they here for some reason

anyways that's fixed

[dusky elbow]

Don’t you have 112%? Most casuals don’t even get to 110

[foggy sable]

I did like an hour and a bit of oblobbles and it turns out that it sucks to do low equipment

[umbral night]

I AM a casual
Not someone with 112%

[dusky elbow]

Yeah

[compact wasp]

..I still have to remind myself you haven't done p5

why do I keep forgetting that?

[solar rover]

isnt that casual? i mean i dont even do most M stuff i ahev seen people do

[compact wasp]

hruu

[silver spoke]

I beat the first four pantheons with all bindings (seperate im not that good yet)

[umbral night]

They're built different

[foggy sable]

I'm good, not much interesting in particular.
how are things

[willow willow]

you're insanely good

[dusky elbow]

No, typically casuals get 80-90% max on their first playthrough, including probably a couple more

[compact wasp]

apparently I convinced a friend of mine to come back to hollow knight to do p5 and steel soul

[solar rover]

i mean i died 137 times on nkg

[compact wasp]

so I am just watching them

[foggy sable]

yay

[tropic nest]

Depends on what casual means
p4 on its own is <10% completion rate

[visual stirrup]

Hello people

[dusky elbow]

Damn

[frozen storm]

They're not

[visual stirrup]

Gah damn

[compact wasp]

ye they saw me celebrating all bindings and were like "ye I want to do p5"

[frozen storm]

?av oswald

[frozen storm]

This also looks like a goose

[foggy sable]

make them do p5ab imo\

[compact wasp]

i will if I can

[solar rover]

pathetic i was gonna say that but i usually never collect collectibles and stuff so i get it

[compact wasp]

make them sacrifice their soul atp

[dusky elbow]

Do you have to beat P3 to unlock P4 or do you just need all the bosses defeated?

[quartz cave]

yes

[willow willow]

i think you have to beat p3

[umbral night]

You have to beat p3

[dusky elbow]

Oh ok

[solar rover]

i would have done it in 40 but i kept getting worse.. atlest i didnt loose the bet

[frozen storm]

Osbald_b_goose

[foggy sable]

anyway the oblobbles challenge is so despair

it is too much for my patience

[dusky elbow]

I think I had 23 deaths but that’s because I memorised the patterns and he’s my favourite boss so…

[solar rover]

so there was this guy whom i bet i can beat nkg in 40 tries but when he heard my boss record he increased it to 187 so i won

[visual stirrup]

Getting worse with every attempt is soo relatable.

[compact wasp]

what are ya doing with oblobbles?

[foggy sable]

oh nothing much...

[silver spoke]

I beat NKG is 14 deaths

[foggy sable]

(1 nail damage)

[visual stirrup]

True

[silver spoke]

it was the first boss I radianted of course

[willow willow]

dear lord

[willow willow]

oh same

[compact wasp]

congrats on beating nkg

[solar rover]

dthere was this guy who kept bragging on the server who did it in first or second try

[foggy sable]

but I can't get anywhere beyond a quarter in anyway so

[umbral night]

Please gang
Find another word other than radianted
Why does it sound so wrong

[silver spoke]

cool

I have a life

[dusky elbow]

What was ur favourite boss to radiant?

[silver spoke]

pure vessel

[solar rover]

lol

[dusky elbow]

Fair

[compact wasp]

I have like 200 hours on this game so

I don't think I have no life

or count as a no lifer

[dusky elbow]

Wow

Wants ur %?

[compact wasp]

moving on

[dusky elbow]

Whats *

[compact wasp]

I wonder how would the second phase even work
