Get unstuck

[lean drum]

[astral bobcat]

How do you even get stuck

[lean drum]

Send ss

[vocal cipher]

currently trying

[astral bobcat]

I’m confused

[lean drum]

Also what key

[astral bobcat]

How

[lean drum]

Does that guy drop key

[vocal cipher]

this thingy is being a butt :|

[lean drum]

Is ||city crest|| a key??

[astral bobcat]

You can call it a key

[lean drum]

OH THE BIG ROLLEY POLLET

[astral bobcat]

Stand back

[lean drum]

you need to use your spell on it

Move backward

[vocal cipher]

i tried it didnt hurt it

[astral bobcat]

It will shoot out bug and you get soul

[lean drum]

Spell, not nail

Nail doesnt hurt him

[vocal cipher]

oh i did it

[lean drum]

Nice

[vocal cipher]

well the spell didnt hurt him when super close

[lean drum]

Ah

[astral bobcat]

Hold up I can reply to myself

[vocal cipher]

he was immune to everything

[lean drum]

Theres 4 big rolley pollies in the entire game

Idk what they are called

I just call them rolley polleys

[astral bobcat]

They are called ||baldurs||

[vocal cipher]

my gooey hp leaves whenever i sit at a bench D:

[astral bobcat]

Yeah they do

They are lifeblood hearts they are temporary

They just protect you for a bit when exploring

[vocal cipher]

it dropped many pebbles

[astral bobcat]

Money

[lean drum]

Pick up the money

You need a shitton of money

[astral bobcat]

MONEY

[verbal saffron]

if you really need help you should ask but early game i reccomend trying to figure things out on your own

[lean drum]

The most expensive upgrade is 12k

Mond

Mone

[astral bobcat]

No it’s 15000

You dum

[lean drum]

||UB strength is 15k?||

I thought it was 12k

[verbal saffron]

money is necessary early and mid game but loses its value quite a lot late game

[astral bobcat]

Yes it is

[vocal cipher]

ooh wait

i can boing off enemies if i hit them while moving down

[verbal saffron]

yes you can

[lean drum]

Talking about money, im about to sacrifice all of mine to the ||Statue|| to get my third and final ||soul thingy||

[astral bobcat]

Yep learn to do that it’s called pogoing

[lean drum]

That is a very important mechanic

[vocal cipher]

i like sharing my experiences with people because i like watching people who know less than me in games learn

[lean drum]

Its used a lot

[vocal cipher]

so i think other people like it too

[lean drum]

When platforming

[verbal saffron]

fair enough, it is enjoyable to see others learn

[astral bobcat]

Especially in the ||path of pain||

Don’t do it if you value your sanity

[latent idol]

(MASSIVE DLC ||GRIMM TROUPE|| SPOILERS)

||NKG tips/tricks/charm builds, I can’t beat him for a long time||

[vocal cipher]

that one guy really should go visit his wife more u-u

[scarlet hull]

Lmao

[scarlet hull]

Uh

Should I wall

[verbal saffron]

||before you start trying to murder him just focus on dodging until you get good at that, may i see your charms and charm notches?||

[lean drum]

I watched my friend die in the same jump in ||PoP|| 15 times

[scarlet hull]

Ima wall

BRB

[lean drum]

It never got less intense

[verbal saffron]

oh hi anika hru

[astral bobcat]

I just recently beat him use whatever charms you think for best because charms don’t matter much in fights like that

[bright sorrel]

||u can heal against most of his attacks.

when he does fire bats, jump over the first bat then heal.

for the uppercut, dash away from him, then u should be able to safely heal

for flame pillars, start healing once the final pillar starts

and u can heal during staggers||

[verbal saffron]

for me ||path of pain|| was something i did because i just ||enjoyed platforming challenges|| and i honestly wish there were more things like it in the game

[lean drum]

How much damage do i have to do to ||HK|| before he starts stabbing himself and being shit

[astral bobcat]

Man I don’t wanna go to school tomorrow

A lot

[verbal saffron]

a lot iirc

[astral bobcat]

Idk

I can beat him in like 45 seconds so not a lot I guess

[lean drum]

Chat should i get ||third nail upgrade|| before i try to kill him

[latent idol]

||im currently using grimmchild(because it makes me), UB strength, UB heart, MOK, and sprintmaster(to help with dodging)||

[vocal cipher]

i killed ||mom|| i think its another boss but it was even easier than the first one

[lean drum]

Whos mom

What

[scarlet hull]

||Nightmare King Grimm|| wall by vls#8578
||Recommended Charms:||
||Quick Slash, Fragile Strength, Sharp Shadow/Mark of pride/Shaman/Quick focus, Grimmchild||
||Dodge Attacks:||
||Bats attack: Make a small jump into the second bat, dash and little monarch jump just before the dash end if u need it||
||Dive dash: Jump into the air when he touch the ground and dash away from the fire in the floor||
||Dash uppercut: Dash into him and dash again to dodge the fire or stay a little to one side where he end the attack||
||Cloak spikes: Position in the middle of two spikes and dont jump||
||Flame pillar: Walk slowly into one direction or use shadow dash if u are in a corner and its necessary||
||Pufferfish: (This attacks only appears at 75% 50% and 25% health) you just go to the edge of the arena and do small jumps to dodge the fireballs, almost all the times its a bad idea to dash||
||Healing Openings:||
||Stagger: Like all bosses its the best moment to heal||
||Spikes: You can heal if start focus just in the start of the attack||
||Flame pillar: Most of the time you can heal at the end of the attack but this heal its not totally safe||
||With quick focus you can heal in the end of most attacks and heal more in the most of the openings||
||Attack Openings:||
||Bats attack: At the end of the attack you have time to do like 3 nail hits or 1 spell or 4/5 cyclone slash ticks||
||Flame pillar: You can do 1 nail hit between every pillar or wait for the last one to do one nail art or one abyss shriek||
||Pufferfish: You can hit him with shade soul while he shoots the fireballs but personally dont recommend to do that||
||Stagger: Its always better to heal but if you are full hp you can do nail hits or abyss shriek||

[thick wing]

man

vls

[vocal cipher]

||she exploded into many babies when she died||

[lean drum]

Wait @vocal cipher did the first boss you beat have a giant spiked mace

[scarlet hull]

||gruz||

[lean drum]

Oh thats not a boss

Its just a normal enemy

[astral bobcat]

You did not have to write something longer than my essays

[thick wing]

||Gruz Mother|| is a boss

[vocal cipher]

idk ||all i know is its weapon got up and walked away||

[vocal cipher]

idk i didnt see the text til it was fading

[lean drum]

Wait he fought ||gruz mother||? I thought he fought ||aspid mother|| or smth

[thick wing]

Tags

and

[lean drum]

What do you mean

How many hits did it take

[lean drum]

Oh shit

[thick wing]

bruh do you not remember

||False Knight's mace is revealed to be a bug||

and it ||walks away||

[verbal saffron]

assuming ||mok|| means ||mark of pride|| i reccomend ||quick slash instead of sprintmaster and ubheart because the damage is such a good investment and dashing is good enough to avoid his attacks. as for ub heart, its only useful at the start unless you can somehow heal to full during the fight which is very difficult for me. also if you're willing to sacrifice the range, use quick focus instead of mark of pride. makes healing so much easier. all in all, it does depend more on personal preference.||

[lean drum]

That was his mace?

Thought it was his body

[thick wing]

yeah

[lean drum]

Ok wait

[vocal cipher]

a lot

[lean drum]

He fought ||gruz mother||??

[thick wing]

Please use spoiler tags around any content after dirmouth

||like this|| -> ||into this||

[hot canyon]

Sorry

[thick wing]

so mhm ||lumafly lantern|| and ||sly's shop|| need tags

ok so either 2 things have happened

1. You bought it
2. You didn't and it's still there

[gusty magnet]

there should be ||a path in crossroads that you need lantern for, just enter there and check if you have it||

[hot canyon]

Ok

[thick wing]

Or you know

Just check your inventory

[gusty magnet]

i forget that's a thing lmao

[hot canyon]

Went into the dark area. It's not in my inventory tho

[thick wing]

[hot canyon]

No the dark area lit up but it's not in my inventory

[thick wing]

Either way it's fixed now

[thick wing]

ok ok

[gusty magnet]

[thick wing]

[gusty magnet]

not even just that

||how is your shade out with full vessel||

how many mods you got on

[thick wing]

[hot canyon]

[rugged veldt]

Good morning hkhelp

How we doing

[analog roost]

Kinda sleepy

[vivid fog]

krist :D

[daring moat]

neolandin tbh

[rugged veldt]

gwnj 😮

[daring moat]

true

[rugged veldt]

I hate the fact that my text emojis transcend to actual inrs

[daring moat]

krist gimme some music to listen to tbh

[rugged veldt]

Depends on what you like to listen to

[daring moat]

instrumental ig (more western classical, but also stuff like hk or clest ost or stuff like that)

[shut sparrow]

definitely use ||fragile heart for that one||

[daring moat]

yippee it's nonsenf

[shut sparrow]

yippee it's me with no sleep

[thick wing]

wait i thought you only have ||4 masks||

[daring moat]

oh yeah you didnt go sleep DID YOU 😡

did you sleep AT ALL this night either???

[shut sparrow]

yes but ||heart increases it to 6 which makes it an amazing option for that binding||

[shut sparrow]

I tried

[daring moat]

||charms that increase max health still work ||

[thick wing]

brooo that makes such a difference ty for telling me

[shut sparrow]

mhm it's really useful

[daring moat]

indeed

[somber hill]

and ||lifeblood charms too||

[thick wing]

good to know like dang i thought i would have been left at so little

[daring moat]

:P

[thick wing]

whatttt im learning

LOL

[daring moat]

wait till ya get to ||all bindings..||

[thick wing]

yall help tyty

[thick wing]

cant you do them 1 by 1?

[somber hill]

i think cuz(im not 100% sure)||mask binding reduces base masks to x then u can add on to the base||

[somber hill]

u can

[thick wing]

or is that for the memes

[daring moat]

you can

[somber hill]

but like

yea

[thick wing]

i was gonna say

[daring moat]

but doing em all together also does something special

also it's cool

[somber hill]

also it is an achievement for ppl

[thick wing]

dont they all glow when you have them all enabled

[daring moat]

ye

[somber hill]

mm

[thick wing]

isnt that like it

[daring moat]

yes

[thick wing]

its beutiful

[somber hill]

we said each other's words iirc

[daring moat]

indeed

[thick wing]

lets try this

[daring moat]

have fun

wait

which ||pantheon?||

[thick wing]

1

[daring moat]

ohk

then it's fine

go for it

[rugged veldt]

What's western classical

[daring moat]

um

like beethoven, mozart, chopin etc

[rugged veldt]

But if you like instrumental, id suggest checking out Piotr Musial or something, this fella wrote amazing music for Frostpunk

[daring moat]

[shut sparrow]

you can put \ at the start of that's what you meant

[rugged veldt]

I know

But I'm lazy

[daring moat]

oh man

[rugged veldt]

Dvorak has some pretty good music too

[sharp torrent]

there's also a setting to turn that off

[rugged veldt]

Yeah but on the off chance it's something useful I don't want to

[daring moat]

ofc i shall take a listen at some dvorak after i suppose

[rugged veldt]

Basically just Google 'epic instrumental music' and you should have enough for like a couple years

[daring moat]

i've already been listening for more than a couple years

searching for a different couple years to listen to

[daring moat]

any cool video game osts you like?

[somber hill]

Pvz

[thick wing]

yessirrr

[daring moat]

gg

[thick wing]

one more

[daring moat]

toughest one shrue

[thick wing]

[daring moat]

for ||p1|| it isnt really that bad but

[thick wing]

for the others it sucks ik lol

[daring moat]

mm gl :gurbo

gurbo....

[royal obsidian]

Update on ||ToF||: currently running this set-up. I can get to the vertical section every time (then panic sets in!) I guess that’s just gonna take some practice! Thanks for all the help 😊

[rugged veldt]

Frostpunk

[static axle]

wait whats ||ToF||

oh wait

[daring moat]

mmm

[static axle]

||Trial of the Fool||

I'm a fool lol

[daring moat]

:P

[bright sorrel]

true

[daring moat]

hyd tbh

[static axle]

anika roast me

changedGOD unhappy :(

[rugged veldt]

Oh hi changedgod

Haven't seen you in a while

[static axle]

hey krist

[astral peak]

||shaman/mage build or strength/nail build for p5||

[static axle]

I dont play hk much since my computer is a potato

[static axle]

combo of both

[neat karma]

Yeah the best builds are always a mix

[astral peak]

Can’t really fit that in, I use ||deep focus with quick focus so I could heal a lot||

[neat karma]

Should never be one or the other

[neat karma]

This is just a ||notch waste||

[static axle]

dont use either

yup, a ||notch|| waste indeed

[shut sparrow]

||qf is good imo||

[astral peak]

The earlier one is really useful imo, compensates for some bosses damage

[static axle]

not for ||p5||

[neat karma]

||one of the most important changes the game goes through from early game to end game is that you should move away focus regularly from healing to avoiding, and this is something you will need for p5||

[astral peak]

I guess I’ll try rolling them off

[static axle]

wont it be better if you dont take damage at all

[astral peak]

So I should just use a quick drop build?

[neat karma]

||i suggest you practive bosses you struggle or damage you and try to stay as long as you can in their fight in hog without damaging them, the longer you do it youll have an easier time with them||

[simple island]

for a late game charm build ||shaman/quick slash/strength is a base line then you can add stuff like heart/spell twister/any combination of grubsong, nmg, dream wielder, sbody to finish; you can also replace one of the first 3 charm with MoP||
Not sure if it’s relevant :p

[shut sparrow]

I think it's good for ||all the pantheons. Not necessarily the best option but definitely valid and can help in a lot of situations||

[neat karma]

||at the end of it all you should be able to avoid most of the time rather than focusing on deaking damage and then healing later, since this would waste your soul you could use on spells for later bosses and also notches if youre using the charms||

[astral peak]

On real boss I feel would be a roadblock is probably ||nkg that ive never beaten and I might die on pure vessel if I mess up||

[static axle]

well, its a matter of opinion. I prefer playing offensive, rather than defensive

[astral peak]

I’ll try this

[neat karma]

Yeah, but if you have to use ||quickfocus and deepfocus to compensate for the general damage other bosses do you should still practice those||

[simple island]

I think nerves can also be put in question here, if you see in a good ||p5|| run that you start to go rather down in hp, you may stress and panic

[astral peak]

I thought the last one you mentioned is bad

[neat karma]

Anyways away from general tips, some advice for ||p5 specifically id say dont forget to take breaks, this challenge is long and difficult and its perfectly okay to drop it for a minute, drink something and relax, or even try again another day, and also id suggest you take your time on the bosses, since trying to deal as much damage as possible will most of the time lead to getting hit and that will be detrimental for the bosses aftwr that||

[plush marlin]

?

[shut sparrow]

this channel requires that you use discords spoiler tagging feature for all content after dirtmouth (charms, bosses, locations, etc)

||example|| --> ||turns into this||

[simple island]

I don’t recommend to it myself, it’s just a good charm that kinda has to be mentioned
||Also it is useful for the before last section as bosses there tend to favour quick slash less||

[neat karma]

||you always have to remember that you should be doing this for fun or the want of a challenge, if its no longer entertaining or too hard on you, you should take a break on it||

[calm sedge]

Be wary of how he moves and what attacks will happen afterwards

[plush marlin]

||how to beat false knight?||

[calm sedge]

You can hit the falling balls and deal damage to him

[plush marlin]

Thanks

[astral peak]

I don’t need to take this break I really enjoy the game

It’s actually my first run ever

[simple island]

So you’ve found your ||first boss, and unlike all prior enemies you cannot just wack at this one until it dies, you need to focus on them, what they are doing to dodge that, and only once you dodge an attack you can get back and get a few nail hits in
Also try not to heal if they are still moving around, they are probably gonna hit you back and you can’t afford that||

[astral peak]

I should probably do most bosses in ||hall of gods||

[calm sedge]

Maybe come back later trained and more sure of what you do

[neat karma]

Yeah, i say it because it can get hard and time consuming and i know a lot of people simply dont do this and end up stressed and annoyed

[calm sedge]

||there are enemies that do exactly his moves not far away, you can train on them||

[shut sparrow]

some of them would be a waste of time. It's definitely helpful but don't feel pressured to do ||gruz mother or vengefly king just for the sake of beating everyone once. Mainly practice the ones you struggle with and that should be enough||

[simple island]

If you ever do btw (and if you don’t have the game on console) I would really recommend trying out some mods, it’s very easy to set up (see #modding-discussion ) and there are a lot of very fun mods (you may want to do other playthroughs before to get all achievements and stuff but it’s your choice)

[astral peak]

I am on pc, used to use controller but found out mnk is better

Also I definitely wanna do a randomized

But I’ll plat the game first

[astral peak]

The latter takes quite a bit of time ngl

[dark vessel]

hi does anybody know where i can get the game icons ? it's for a private project

[daring moat]

people in #modding-discussion would know better (i think?)

[dark vessel]

alright i'll go ask over there

[simple island]

All the sprites are in the pins of #art-discussion not sure if the game icon would also be there

But it may be worth a look

[dark vessel]

thx i'll go take a look

[lunar night]

||Trying to start P5, but it's only showing me this, what's going on?||

[astral peak]

Have you not seen the cutscene

Try hugging the wall to the left and going up

[lunar night]

oh I was supposed to go over there?

cool

well that felt overcomplicated

why not just put it ||at the egg thing above p4?||

[shut sparrow]

There isn't a lot of space there. Also it's supposed to be a surprise ||that there is a fifth one||

[lunar night]

I looked at the achievements :/

I guess I spoiled myself lol

[slim harness]

?

[lunar night]

There's an achievement for ||ascending the Pantheon of Hallownest||

[slim harness]

womp

not cool, team cherry

[lunar night]

Nah I probably shouldn't have done that to begin with

[slim harness]

not your fault lol

and most achivements are actually hidden iirc

[lunar night]

Precisely

I got curious

[astral peak]

Because it’s cooler the other way lol

And yes what nonsenf said

[drifting current]

I'm trying to beat the ||path of pain|| it's so hard

[slim harness]

you could say it's painful

[scarlet hull]

Yea

[meager hound]

It must be a pain

[clear arch]

for some reason, i cant upload images to #hk-art-gallery

[pallid osprey]

were to find the ||radiance ||

[neat karma]

As the name says it, this channel is for ingsme help, but about your issue, you have the new knight role which prevents any images or embeds, itll go away in 3 hours

[clear arch]

ah

many thanks

[rough ether]

Can you send a screenshot of your inventory and charms?

[astral peak]

[astral peak]

Purpose was to ping again in case they forgot

[light arch]

OMG I HATE ||UUMUU|| SO MUCH IM GONNA DIE

[rough ether]

If they forgot they apparently didn't need the help anymore

[rough ether]

Is this a question for help or just a statement?

[light arch]

a statement with a just a teeny tiny cry for help

[exotic wedge]

statement

[light arch]

im just so done with rng bosses

[mellow tusk]

That boss is actually easy

You just have to listen to audio

And that boss is done

[lean drum]

attempt 5235423q3-q23Q3W2Q535W89RAW0EUHYCIOCYBF07Y78CWEA of beating ||hollow knight||

died phase 2

[light arch]

i die

[proper frost]

||Get more upgrades probably,he's easy when you have full gear.||

[marsh portal]

best ||charm build for Hallownest Pantheon||

and also minimum requirements needed to beat ||Trial 2||

I'm thinking of becoming a challenge runner, just don't know where to start

[proper frost]

||claw iirc||

That's not a challange run tho

[proper frost]

||P5 is a good start i supose,radhog is what you gotta do,as you progress,hop on r5ab||

[proper frost]

||would be smth like qslash strength shamans spell twister ig||

But its very optional

[marsh portal]

thanks. just a quick q....
what does ||radhog and r5ab|| mean?
Pretty sure its related to ||radiance or smth||

[marsh portal]

oh ok

And i have one last question...
||Carefree Melody or Grimmchild|| :)

leaning towards the first option

[proper frost]

You can use ||sshadow,fluknest,qfocus,range stuff,it's all up to you||

Just don't use bees

[proper frost]

Imo first

[astral bobcat]

||carefree melody is better||

[marsh portal]

||sshadow|| is a favorite of mine. I used it a lot when i got ||shade cloak||

[marsh portal]

yea i think so too

well now i know where to go

thanks for the tips, all

[proper frost]

||Oh sorry,it was meant to be p5ab,r5ab is insane
Stands for pantheon 5 all bindings,r is for radiant,thus it mostly means hitless
Hog is hall of gods||

[marsh portal]

OH...
sorry i was thinking of ||any rad|| so i thought you meant ||radiance or smth||

[marsh portal]

eh i think i'd do ||hog|| first

[proper frost]

||Modded bosses are a great challange run indeed tho

But do NOT hop on anyrad so quickly||

[marsh portal]

yea i know. I watched ||fireb0rn's vid on any rad, not planning to fight it any time soon rn. I'm first gonna try and max out everything on my save, bindings on all pantheons i guess, radiant hall of gods, then ill look around, ask around here for some more challenges, improve my skill, then ill play any rad. I'm also gonna try and get fluent at hitting quickly. I really need to improve my technique when fighting, because normally i play for time. Any tips on how to get better at stuff like chaining nail hits faster? like how turning around immediately after pressing nail cancels anim||?

that's all from me for now, i got some work to do

[proper frost]

Uhh i'm not sure what can be a tip tbh
||Just..turn around?||
||You need quickslash for that to work tho.||

[marsh portal]

well im dumb.
Idk, if there's any tips, just lmk, ig

cya al

all*

[iron arrow]

is ||any radiance a mod or a team cherry made challenge?||

[marsh portal]

||mod||

[iron arrow]

ooh

[nova pumice]

mod

i cant beat ||radiant paintmaster||

[ruby shuttle]

his attacks are ||color coordinated||. start by learning those.

[nova pumice]

ye i already know all of them

[ruby shuttle]

other than the yellow attack most are pretty easy to dodge. let him do his move before attacking

[fallen tundra]

is there a easter egg here? i feel like there is because i can climb on top of it but its hard to make it up..

[ruby shuttle]

climb on top of what?

[fallen tundra]

ythe wal there

if u go up

it opens another part

u can look higher

[ruby shuttle]

||no||

[fallen tundra]

like see

[ruby shuttle]

||no||

[fallen tundra]

😔

[ruby shuttle]

||the only secret is a breakable ceiling before the boss||

[fallen tundra]

huh

where

oh

i see

whats the point in that..

[ruby shuttle]

||if you break it it would have made the fight easier by crushing one of them||

[fallen tundra]

ohh

yea it took me only 3 tries

so

wasnt too bad

[ruby shuttle]

its not that bad

[fallen tundra]

yea thats what im saying

question, do the ||parts of the map with no roof that like fade into darkness have a secret area up there or something? or is it just to look cool, for example:||

[ruby shuttle]

||no. the same thing is for places like dirtmouth and the right side of city||

[fallen tundra]

so it has nothing just for aesthetic?

[ruby shuttle]

||yeah||

[fallen tundra]

thanks 😘

[ruby shuttle]

its weird I know

[fallen tundra]

||one last question before i go how do i open this? i cant live knowing i finished a entire area but left 1 single door 😭||

ik its a pointless thing but still

[orchid fossil]

||look under ||

||there isn’t a lever||

[ruby shuttle]

||ceiling underneath||

[fallen tundra]

bruh

i can live happily knowing i finished this area

finally

[ruby shuttle]

did you?

[fallen tundra]

i think stop making me anxious about it 😭

im pretty sure i covered EVERYTHING

[ruby shuttle]

your missing something

[fallen tundra]

oh my god

[ruby shuttle]

[fallen tundra]

yes

[ruby shuttle]

||soul sanctum||

[fallen tundra]

the flip is that

[orchid fossil]

[fallen tundra]

[fallen tundra]

which

i dont think i have any ||keys||i n my inventory

in dirtmouth?

or like

[orchid fossil]

mm feels like an unnecessary spoiler almost

[ruby shuttle]

just wanna be safe

[orchid fossil]

i would have done a riddle or something rather than just saying it

[ruby shuttle]

oh

[fallen tundra]

LMAOO

[orchid fossil]

(we like riddles here)

[undone flower]

definitely pushing the boundary, but it's a bit late at this point

[orchid fossil]

yeah there’s not much to do about it now

[fallen tundra]

so can yall tell me which ||key|| i need

simple?

[undone flower]

walk up to the door

trust me

should be an interaction prompt

[ruby shuttle]

||theres also only like three different keys in the game||

[fallen tundra]

im not walking all that way just to not have the right thing

[ruby shuttle]

||different kinds||

[fallen tundra]

too lazy

so which

[ruby shuttle]

no

[fallen tundra]

😔

oh god

i just remembered

to go back there i need to fight those flying fat bitches

[undone flower]

door says:

||An ornate door made from glistening metal. There is a slot for some kind of key.||

[fallen tundra]

[undone flower]

[glossy dock]

[viral dew]

[mellow tusk]

Check the wiki

[viral dew]

Alr thx

[glossy dock]

np

[fair lake]

They're in one of the later ||pantheons.||

[glossy dock]

is it after ||p4?||

[fair lake]

Yes.

[glossy dock]

ok thx

[fair lake]

Ye
Np.

[frosty dew]

I wouldn't recommend telling people to check the wiki in this channel since the wiki is full of spoilers and the point of this channel is to avoid those

[half venture]

To be fair in this case they are already at the ||pantheons||

[abstract gorge]

|| p5 is slowly killing me from the inside ||

[fair lake]

I know that feeling very well.

[abstract gorge]

Any tips for ||p5? ||

[abstract gorge]

I DIED TO DAM ZOTE

[half venture]

Any specific bosses you die on?

[abstract gorge]

I can beat him a lot

IT was just fear

And 4 hp

[thick wing]

lmao

[fair lake]

The usual.
Keep making progress in ||P5 and whenever you're stuck against a boss, practice them in the HoG.
Attuned difficulty is fine.||

[pastel panther]

understandable lol

yeah practice in ||HoG|| alot

[abstract gorge]

I have

[fair lake]

||Practice them in the HoG.
Attuned difficulty is fine.||

[fair lake]

Then you're good.
Keep at it.

[half venture]

Also spoiler tag your messages

[abstract gorge]

I died to him went to ||hall of god || and then beat him 5 times in a row

It's mostly just fear holding me back

And ||markot ||

But I never die to him

Just get low

[fair lake]

@abstract gorge, it's very useful to ||do 8 bindings in P1 and P2, one at a time, in order to have 3 additional masks at every bench.
You can also equip Heart if you're getting hit often.||

[abstract gorge]

Yea I am trying with that

[half venture]

Maybe take breaks at the benches so you dont get overwhelmed by the bosses

[fair lake]

Yes.
Nice!

[abstract gorge]

I have like 4

5*

I don't think I can do all 16 or even 12

That's pain

[abstract gorge]

I don't think that matters because I still getting send back

[fair lake]

I managed to beat it, after a lot of days.

[abstract gorge]

If I lose

Yea

I doing like 1-2 so I don't quit

[shy silo]

hey

[half venture]

Practice the easier ||pantheons|| and focus on the ||lifeblood||

[abstract gorge]

And the rest of time working on bidding

[fair lake]

You only need ||8 bindings.||

[shy silo]

does it matter if i kill the hollow knight to absorb the infection

or defeat the radiance and end the infection

[abstract gorge]

Don't you get 4 and 5 if you hit that?

[shy silo]

or just different endings

[half venture]

Its just ||different endings||

[pastel panther]

spoiler

[half venture]

You can do both if you want the achievements

[fair lake]

No.
You get ||3 additional masks.||

[pastel panther]

spoiler these

[shy silo]

my device doesnt support it

[abstract gorge]

Is it each bench or 3 per run?

[half venture]

Can you type |

[hard zodiac]

||spoiler like this||

[shy silo]

no

cant

[hard zodiac]

[fair lake]

Ye
You mean 1-2 days?
I see.

[abstract gorge]

You on phone?

[shy silo]

nah

[fair lake]

The former.

[abstract gorge]

No I do 1 or 2 a day

[shy silo]

im on oculus quest im using my audio to type

[hard zodiac]

[fair lake]

Okay.
Great!

[shy silo]

how do i pronouns that spoiler word

[abstract gorge]

Wdym

[half venture]

Each

[fair lake]

You get ||3 additional masks at every bench.||

[abstract gorge]

DAM THATS OP

Wth

[half venture]

Not really since its ||lifeblood||

Still helps a lot

[abstract gorge]

Well that if you get hit

🙂

[half venture]

Not as much risk when it comes to trying to heal

[abstract gorge]

+50 sanity

[fair lake]

Kinda.
You can lose them fast.
But with ||Heart, you'll have more masks.||

[pastel panther]

honestly kinda impressive

[abstract gorge]

Yea but for the ending still good

||and for oof morkot ||

[fair lake]

Yes.
Indeed.

[abstract gorge]

I hate him...

Gets me so low

[fair lake]

A lot of people do.

[abstract gorge]

Ik

[fair lake]

Yup

[abstract gorge]

[half venture]

Idk why he is so easy when you first encounter him

[fair lake]

Surprisingly, I never lost to him during my ||P5 runs.||

XD

[fair lake]

[abstract gorge]

Me look at this when I died 6 times 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[abstract gorge]

Me to just got me low

[fair lake]

I see.
Nice!

[abstract gorge]

That's not very nice

Me do hitless

I think I can beat him more good now because I beat him on 2x damage

[fair lake]

It is, because you can get better and face ||GPZ with more masks.||

[fair lake]

Good luck!

[abstract gorge]

Yea no

[fair lake]

Ye
Okay.

[abstract gorge]

.

I forgot the name

[fair lake]

Yeah, it's what I said above.
You can get better at him.

[abstract gorge]

XD

[fair lake]

||Ascended difficulty.||

[abstract gorge]

Oh yea

[fair lake]

Yep

[abstract gorge]

Ascension

[fair lake]

Ye

[fair lake]

Happens.

[simple island]

(Do spoiler that)

[abstract gorge]

That's a better way 🙂

[fair lake]

||It's very difficult to beat a boss on Radiant.
Well, most bosses.
And Markoth is one of the hardest.
You mean GSong?
Okay.||

[abstract gorge]

NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAT

[abstract gorge]

No the last one

[half venture]

You shouldnt practice with that charm though because you usually wont be at full health in the ||pantheons||

[half venture]

||Elegy||

[abstract gorge]

No not that one ;c

[fair lake]

I don't remember which charm you're talking about.

[abstract gorge]

The range blade one

[fair lake]

I see.

[abstract gorge]

I think it go's though shield

[fair lake]

||MoP?||

[abstract gorge]

I think...

[fair lake]

I don't think so.

[fair lake]

Nah

[abstract gorge]

Yea that one

[abstract gorge]

.

[half venture]

Whats your charm build anyways

[abstract gorge]

For ||p5 ?||

[half venture]

Yeah

[fair lake]

Yes.
I see.

[abstract gorge]

I think it was ||quick slash, steady body, strength, dream nail one,shamen stone ||

[fair lake]

Idk if the beams can go through ||Markoth's shield, since I've never used it.||

[abstract gorge]

I might have forgot one

[half venture]

Use ||spell twister||

[abstract gorge]

My brother said it did

[fair lake]

Okay.
Great!

[bright sorrel]

they can however ||elegy|| is horrible

[abstract gorge]

I like || dream nail ||

[fair lake]

I see.
Yeah, I understand why.

[abstract gorge]

I forgot to use spells a lot

[half venture]

||spell twister will let you use more spells whenever you have a moment to use them||

[abstract gorge]

I mostly only use ||d dark ||

[half venture]

It can help for ||markoth when he does the shield spin or gpz when he falls||

If you just use ||ddark|| then try a more nail-based build

[abstract gorge]

Wait when is there a bench before ||markoth ||

[fair lake]

Please spoiler tag your post.

[fair lake]

No.

[abstract gorge]

Wdym no

[fair lake]

There isn't ||a bench before Markoth.||

[abstract gorge]

No I mean

[fair lake]

Yes?

[abstract gorge]

What the close bench to him

When what boss and then after there is a bench

[half venture]

Just before ||soul tyrant||

[abstract gorge]

Ok thanks

[half venture]

After ||white defender||

[fair lake]

Before ||Soul Tyrant, yeah.||

[abstract gorge]

I going to look at wiki for sec

[fair lake]

Meowy answered your question.

[abstract gorge]

So after ||white defenser ||

I can put it on

[fair lake]

Yes.
Indeed.

[abstract gorge]

Cool

[fair lake]

[thorny token]

Stop with the emoji spam

[abstract gorge]

Ok fine 😦

[fair lake]

[abstract gorge]

Lol

[fair lake]

Ye

[half venture]

The emoji spam is very helpful with my hollow knight playthrough

[thorny token]

Very pk of you Mario, and I thought you were a seasoned helper, you should know better

[abstract gorge]

It clam me down after I get my 🍑 handed to me

By ||zote ||

[fair lake]

Very Sherma of you Aiyushtopia.
I'm helping here and there.
You should know better than to spam emojis after asking for help.

[fair lake]

Better not do it tho.

[abstract gorge]

:c

Ok :c

[fair lake]

Do what I said.

[fair lake]

Okay.

[fair lake]

Yes.
I see.

[abstract gorge]

|| D dark ||

[thorny token]

You followed up with it

[thorny token]

Tag

[fair lake]

No.
Practice them.

[abstract gorge]

Who looks like a clown now 🤣

[thorny token]

You.

[abstract gorge]

I did

[fair lake]

Yes.
Cause I wanted to.

[half venture]

Is says edited

[abstract gorge]

DAM IT HE KNOWS

[fair lake]

You keep dying, so practice them more times.

[abstract gorge]

I only died to him once lol

And it was only due to low hp and fear of loseing

[fair lake]

I thought that you kept dying to him.
But that's great!

[half venture]

Practice bosses on the easiest difficulty until you get bored

[abstract gorge]

That's impossible

.... to get bored

[fair lake]

||Practice Markoth more times then and be more confident when you're facing GPZ.||

[half venture]

Spoiler

[abstract gorge]

Who looks like a clown now

🤣🤣🤣

[half venture]

“Original message was deleted”

[abstract gorge]

SHIT MY COVER WAS BLOWNED

[fair lake]

||It's nice that you've beaten GPZ 5 times in a row!
Now get better at Markoth.||

[abstract gorge]

You know what I need to do to beat || p5 ||

Do what || hornet away said ||

Git gud

[ruby shuttle]

yeah, just do better

[rugged veldt]

Tags!

[ruby shuttle]

simple

[rugged veldt]

And again

Thanks

[abstract gorge]

Your welcome

[abstract gorge]

I beat him once on 2x

So like you say beat him 3 or 4 times and then?

[fair lake]

Okay.
Great!

[thorny token]

Hey Krist

[fair lake]

No.
Keep beating him until you're feeling confident enough that you'll do the same in ||P5.||

[abstract gorge]

When but 2x and || p5 || are very different

[fair lake]

Not really.
Only a little.

[abstract gorge]

2x is a lot

1x not so much

4 hits vs 7 hits

[fair lake]

It is, but ||on Ascended|| you still learn his patterns better.

[fair lake]

What I said above.

[abstract gorge]

Ok then..

I will

[fair lake]

Indeed.
But if you learn his patterns well, he won't be much of a problem.

[fair lake]

Yeah.

[fair lake]

Nice!

[ruby shuttle]

who are we talking about?

[pallid osprey]

were to find ||radiance||

[fallen tundra]

.

i did not ifnish typing htat

at all

OMFG

I DIDNT SPOILER IT

[simple island]

Wdym where to find ||radiance ? Like how to access the fight ? You need a lot of stuff to do so||
How far into the game are you ? Like what charms/inventory do you have ?

[fallen tundra]

whats a good ||charm build for 2nd trial colloseum||

[fallen tundra]

||dream nail the hollow knight after killing him|| dont open that spoiler if ur really early into game

[proper frost]

||i think shamans +wever and grubsong||

[fallen tundra]

whats ||+wever||

[proper frost]

||weaversong i mean,both are songs soo||

[fallen tundra]

and 2 more ||notches||

what do i put

[simple island]

Hmm you don’t have a huge amount of options…
I guess you only really have ||spell|| charms so you kinda have to use those
So ||shaman stone, grubsong, then it’s kinda less important, mark of pride is possible, or spell twister/soul catcher, but the first two are important
Dreamwielder can also be quite potent||

[fallen tundra]

||dreamwielder|| does damage? i thought it was for faster startup

[proper frost]

||soul cather probably||

[alpine comet]

||shaman mop and twister would be the best I think||

[fallen tundra]

i dont relaly know where to get more ||charms||

[proper frost]

It does npot

[fallen tundra]

then why would i use it

what does it even do

[proper frost]

to get soul easier and in greater amounts

[fallen tundra]

oh

[proper frost]

||it makes ur dnail draw more soul and in greter amounts||

[simple island]

You can ||farm the last enemy of a wave for quick infinite health and soul||

[fallen tundra]

everyones saying diffrent things i got no idea what to do

[proper frost]

But i'd say ||weavers are better||

[simple island]

You literally still have a couple ||waiting for you at shops||

[alpine comet]

They aren't that good

[fallen tundra]

i didnt buy them thinking they were bad

[proper frost]

Maybe ||but free soul,damage,and no micro.||

I think it suits them

[fallen tundra]

what does this mean im confused

can someone actually settle on what i should use like im really confused

yall are just arguing on whats better and worse 😭

[alpine comet]

||you can use dream nail to harness soul from the enemy without damaging them||

[fallen tundra]

oh

[ruby shuttle]

deffinetly ||shaman||

[fallen tundra]

is ||weaversong|| good?

one of yall told me to use it

[ruby shuttle]

depends

[alpine comet]

Average

[fallen tundra]

okay so my current build is this

[proper frost]

we aren't actually
aze just recomends the best stuff,and i do something that is less micro so will be easier for you to use

[bright sorrel]

no

[fallen tundra]

||shaman, weaversong,grubsong,dream wielder and 1 more notch left||

current build

[ruby shuttle]

why ||dreamwielder||

[fallen tundra]

ask roma

[bright sorrel]

iirc?

[fallen tundra]

i still have no idea what this means

[proper frost]

wtf i was not recomending that lol

[fallen tundra]

wait who was

[proper frost]

aze

[bright sorrel]

me

[fallen tundra]

someone said to use ||dream wielder||

[proper frost]

true anika

[bright sorrel]

u should

[alpine comet]

Remove ||dream wielder|| as you don't know how to effectively use it instead use ||soul catcher or twister||

[proper frost]

spoiler

[fallen tundra]

ok 😔

[ruby shuttle]

||twister makes you use less soul. so pared with shamans is pretty good||

[fallen tundra]

this fine..??

[bright sorrel]

u can ||use it to dream nail enemies at the end of nearly every wave to get as much soul as u need and heal as much as u need||

[fallen tundra]

oh

then that sounds good

[pallid osprey]

thanks|| when hes trying to kill himself or after the figth||?

[fallen tundra]

i think ill use that insteaed of ||grub song||

[fallen tundra]

WHAT

[ruby shuttle]

or just don't get hit

[proper frost]

then ||weavers are almost useless||

[pallid osprey]

lol jk

[alpine comet]

Then don't use || wever||

[fallen tundra]

okay i havent gotten that far so idk how it goes

[bright sorrel]

if u do decide to use ||wielder then u need to remove weaversong||

[fallen tundra]

i just know thats how u fight him

[fallen tundra]

huh

how come

[ruby shuttle]

||don't weavers use up soul||

[bright sorrel]

the ||weavers will just kill the enemy||

[fallen tundra]

oh

ok thanks

1 more ||notch||

[simple island]

Also you should not be confused about us giving contradictory advice, there is not one set in stone best build, a handful are good, which is why you should should amongst our advice the charms you like

[proper frost]

nothing,it will just kill the enemy wich you don't wanna happem

[ruby shuttle]

you could always just use ||thorns|| but its just okay

[fallen tundra]

ye ai understood

[bright sorrel]

remove ||grubsong and add catcher|| iirc

[fallen tundra]

yea but if im trying to ||dream nail for soul and stuff they could hit me and i kill them||

[proper frost]

and for one ||notch|| you have only the charms that do exactly that

[fallen tundra]

final build?

[bright sorrel]

yes

[fallen tundra]

ok

wish me luck yall

[ruby shuttle]

looks good

[fallen tundra]

i hope i dont get touched

in that place

[proper frost]

gl

[alpine comet]

Gl

[ruby shuttle]

gl

[fallen tundra]

3 people in a row wishing me luck is making me think its actually hard as hell

[ruby shuttle]

are you doing the ||first one||

[fallen tundra]

2

[ruby shuttle]

oh, your fine

[fallen tundra]

it was easy anyway

[alpine comet]

It's not that hard

[fallen tundra]

it cant scale up THAT badly

alr then see u in like 10 mins

when i get bodied probably

[alpine comet]

Bruh no

Yes amazing at being the worst

[proper frost]

Avoid trolling in #hk-help please,thank you

[ruby shuttle]

sorry

[alpine comet]

It ain't a big deal unless he was tagging them

[strong trellis]

||hello, is there any way I can get the dung defender to go back to sleep again so I can dream nail him and fight the white defender? he always pops above the ground whenever I visit him||

[ruby shuttle]

||dreamers||?

[proper frost]

it's fine,but they are gonna come back later and see that,so just for the future: avoid

[simple island]

Yeah if you progress far enough in the game they will go to sleep (you need to get all ||dreamers||)

[pallid osprey]

is there a way ||to do path of pain again cuz i wanna do it hitless||

[simple island]

It’s kindof a weird trigger but it is what it is

[simple island]

With mods yes

[proper frost]

||qol||

[strong trellis]

Alright, thanks

[fallen tundra]

bro

[pallid osprey]

oh ok i dont wanna get mods until 112% but thanks

[fallen tundra]

what is taht fucking ||huge ass jumping 6 legged ass bitch||

[simple island]

You need to get the QoL mod from any installer (see #modding-discussion ) you can only do that on pc though

[ruby shuttle]

How'd it go @fallen tundra

[fallen tundra]

horrible

i died in a tight space to a jumping huge ||ass 6 legged bitch||

im so salty what was that

[proper frost]

||dash when it jumps||
