[orchid wave]

^^ p much

honestly u can just raw learn it and itll help u with the mechanics

thats what i did

[tired tiger]

true

i did that with ||long nail||

[jade sluice]

truly the best charm in the game

[orchid wave]

i literally raw'd so many things which made my life so much harder cuz im a genius

[proper frost]

that's skill i supose

[tired tiger]

nah some other charms || like mark of pride are better||

ye my game was bugged

[jade sluice]

I'd say bad-medium

its good in some situations

mostly its bad

[orchid wave]

gimme a situation where its bad

besides maybe some ||pop|| rooms

[jade sluice]

||3 notches cost jumpscare||

[orchid wave]

||its justifiable imo||

[proper frost]

it's not bad,but it rarelly is actually useful.

[orchid wave]

js for like a convenience standpoint

[jade sluice]

||mop is amazing for pop and wp||

[orchid wave]

unless ur like rlly big on speedrunning and efficiency i think its nice

[tired tiger]

well it meant for when you have ||like 7 maybe 8 notches||

[scenic egret]

sell me on when its good

[jade sluice]

fair

[scenic egret]

it costs 3 notches, which is a lot for something that does nothing you cant accomplish without it

[tired tiger]

tags

[proper frost]

hi the optimal player

[orchid wave]

ig but timing is easier now

[scenic egret]

notches is not a spoiler

[orchid wave]

guess someone here likes speedrunning

[jade sluice]

thats literally ||sprintmaster! its the best charm in the game for real||

[scenic egret]

i dont i ran any%nmg and spend 1.5 hours on ||watchers||

[tired tiger]

you can only get them after dirtmouth

[jade sluice]

that's a weird way to phrase it

you kinda dont need charms for anything in the game

[tired tiger]

true

[jade sluice]

it just makes your life easier

[orchid wave]

ya

[scenic egret]

notches is one of the exceptions

[tired tiger]

ok

[scenic egret]

this however is a spoiler

[tired tiger]

gone

[scenic egret]

||notches, masks, and soul vessel is not spoiler
getting more is||

[jade sluice]

yes

thats why i put kinda

[kind escarp]

Are there any tips for

||defeating watcher knights||

Like

||how to dodge certain attacks or what charms to use?||

[analog roost]

Could you post a screenshot of your charms

[kind escarp]

I forgor to spoiler it

Ummm

[analog roost]

If a full screenshot is possible it would help a ton, as I could know which ones you have to choose from

[kind escarp]

I cant do a screenshot rn but in an hour or so I might be able to

[analog roost]

Ah

Well, I saw you mentioned having ||long nail, did you buy any of the other salubra charms as well?||

[kind escarp]

||defenders crest, steady body, quick focus,thorns||

[dawn timber]

||is there any way to get the things so you can teleport with the dnail back? i used all 1800 somehow||

[analog roost]

||essence can randomly drop from enemies||

There might also be some more still out there

[analog roost]

||quick focus is very helpful for this fight||

I’d bring that for sure

[kind escarp]

@analog roost should I get the

||shade dash||

[analog roost]

It can be done without it, but it’s your call

[dawn timber]

||how tf is traitor lord beatable||

[analog roost]

If progress in the fight grinds to a halt, going out and finding some more stuff always helps

[spark yoke]

Uhh idk

||cloth|| prob helps

[analog roost]

Try not to panic, first advice I can give

[analog roost]

Tag this please

[spark yoke]

how

[analog roost]

||try to stay mostly grounded||

[spark yoke]

There we go

[spark yoke]

hmm

[analog roost]

Whenever he ||dashes at you just dash through him and counterattack his rear||

[kind escarp]

Ohhhh
That's how you spoiler something in the middle of a message

[analog roost]

When he ||jumps and dashes move a little towards him after he jumps||

As ||he always lands behind your position at that time||

[dense plaza]

and when he creates ||white waves|| also ||shadow dash through them||

#hk-help message

[spark yoke]

there we go mb

[dawn timber]

ohhhh now i know what you mean @analog roost

||i didnt know you could dash tghrough enemies||

thats such a ool feature

cool

[spark yoke]

Yeah

[iron sphinx]

How do I play on an older version for speedrunning?

[spark yoke]

||descending dark also helps||

[spark yoke]

Betas

[iron sphinx]

Wait that was way easier than I expected it to be

[spark yoke]

Yeah

But my computer is so old that it lags whenever i try

[iron sphinx]

I've tried doing it with other games and it was a nightmare

[spark yoke]

Is there a hk speedrunning server

[burnt meteor]

I'm on my first playthrough and I am struggling to beat ||the watcher knights||

[analog roost]

Which part are you struggling with exactly? Or is it just the entire thing

[burnt meteor]

the entire thing

[analog roost]

I see, what charms are you using?

[burnt meteor]

||soul catcher, shaman stone, and spell twister||

[analog roost]

That’s a pretty good set up

||how many have you been able to take out so far||

[burnt meteor]

||one time i killed four but mainly i die after one or two||

[analog roost]

Do you recall what you did differently to reach that point

[burnt meteor]

I had a different setup

[analog roost]

Wait what was the old one

[burnt meteor]

||soul catcher, lifeblood heart, grubsong, and longnail||

[analog roost]

From a ||no spell build to a heavy spell build, are you using spells often||

[burnt meteor]

i've been ||spamming the down dash move as much as i can||

[analog roost]

Be using ||your vengeful spirit as well, especially if they’re rolling, you can hit them multiple times||

Pair this with ||pogoing over them as they roll||

||pogo, turn around and fire off a ball||

[burnt meteor]

ah... i've been ||waiting for them so stop and jump above them to cast||

||using my nail only to get soul||

[analog roost]

Also, avoid ||healing while two are active, try to squeeze in any heals after one dies and before his replacement spawns||

[burnt meteor]

||i've been too terrified to heal||

[analog roost]

That’s pretty normal for this fight

[burnt meteor]

||at least i found the chandelier to kill one permanentely||

[analog roost]

That goes a long way

With that and more usage of ||fireball|| you should see better progress

[burnt meteor]

||its the stupid bonce move i hate the most||

gonna try your suggestions. I'll message back in a minute after the fight.

got so close that time...

||they keep getting me off to one side and then bouncing my health away while i'm jumping to dodge a roll||

[shut sparrow]

you're pk

[spark yoke]

||what charms should i use for absrad||

[shut sparrow]

I'm assuming you have all of them?

[spark yoke]

Yup

||i usually use nms glory and quick slash and stuff but for pv in p5 its difficult||

[shut sparrow]

So I'd use ||strength and qslash as a base and then add whatever you like. Generally spells are really strong so shaman would be a good option. Then you have 2 left and there it kinda comes down to preference. I personally would choose steady body and grubsong but many people don't like story so you can also go with for example spell twister which is also really good||

[shut sparrow]

||ya glory isn't the best for the last two||

[spark yoke]

K thansk

[shut sparrow]

I would ask in #modding-discussion or #1057825333841240104 for that but make it clear that you don't have an issue with a mod but just have technical issues. Also here in this channel specifically everything past dirtmouth needs spoiler tags

[olive mirage]

you might want to ask in #modding-discussion

[thick wing]

ok thx

[proud scroll]

what the hell is that at the ||temple of the black egg?||

[somber hill]

dont worry about it, its just something

worry about it once u get in there

[spark yoke]

Ittl be fiiiiine

[somber hill]

its also just a marker for the ||black egg||

[proud scroll]

oh alr

[long mulch]

How do I make Hornet look like a clown?

[proud scroll]

is she even useful

[thick wing]

kinda yeah

[shut sparrow]

that needs spoiler tags

[proud scroll]

how so

[thick wing]

Listen to what she has to say

[long mulch]

¿?

[shut sparrow]

put || on both sides

[bright sorrel]

its a skin mod

[bright sorrel]

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

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

[long mulch]

Does that work in the CustomKnight mod, or is it a separate one?

[spark yoke]

[long mulch]

I normally don’t speak English, which is why it takes me longer to respond since I have to try to translate what I’m told, and if I make any mistakes in writing, it’s precisely because of that.

[kind escarp]

@analog roost here's a screenshot of the ||charms|| i have

[bright sorrel]

its custom knight yes

u just put the boss skins in a different folder

[kind escarp]

i forgot to spoiler it again

howwwwwwwww

[analog roost]

Maybe ||quick focus, soul catcher, and steady body||

[kind escarp]

ok

[orchid maple]

I’m getting my friend to play hollow knight but I’m afraid he has a skill issue and will quit at ||hornet|| how do I convince him it’s possible

(He’s stuck on a spongebob battle for bikini bottom lvl)

[analog roost]

Has he gotten to that fight yet

[orchid maple]

No, he’s going to play it over the summer

[analog roost]

If he does get stuck there you could record yourself beating it to show it can be done I guess

[orchid maple]

Also how would one convince him that ||path of pain|| gives % because he wants to ||112%|| and all trophies

[spark yoke]

Uhh

[analog roost]

Hehe, just straight up tell him it does

[orchid maple]

Idk how to record it and send it to him bc I only have hk on my ps4

[analog roost]

Don’t know how screenrecording on ps4 works unfortunately

[orchid maple]

He’s seen me do a few ||pantheon|| bosses when he’s came over

But no huge spoilers bc I suck at ||p5||

[spark yoke]

Yeah same

||ive been trying to grind absrad but it doesnt help||

[orchid maple]

I made it to ||GPZ|| once when he was there

[shut sparrow]

||well preemptively there isn't a lot you can do other than a recording I think. Though once he is stuck and asks for help I think the best advice would be using vengeful spirit||

[orchid maple]

I don’t think his brain is that advanced rn

I could tell him but ye showing him would be better than saying ||but VS does 15dmg and your nail does 5|| bc then he’s gonna ask ||well how much hp does hornet have?||

[spark yoke]

My finger is broken rn so i can barely play

[orchid maple]

And I’m scared he’s gonna shit himself when I say ||hornet 1 has like 200||

[orchid maple]

Oof

[spark yoke]

||my friend asked me how many hits does it take to kill hornet||

And i was like

Bro what how would i know

[orchid maple]

Just checked the wiki ||hornet 1 has 225|| so around ||45 nail hits||

[spark yoke]

Oh ok

Nvm now i do know

You learn something new every day

[orchid maple]

I’m kinda sad I don’t have a pc you to downgrade patches and screen record easily

[spark yoke]

Yeah

[orchid maple]

||pre patch flukenest looks too silly to not try||

[spark yoke]

Oh god

||infinite 420 geos||

[orchid maple]

I just want to kill ||gorgeous husk and get 9k geo||

[spark yoke]

Yeah

[orchid maple]

||are scream skips even possible on current patch bc I haven’t gotten one ever even when I try||

[spark yoke]

I think theyre frame perfect

[orchid maple]

😭

[spark yoke]

||i got stallball once so i guess so||

[orchid maple]

Zawg what

I’m not doing that just to get a free ||kill on collector in p5||

Or ||white defender and dung defender||

Or ||traitor lord||

Wait I might want to learn this

[spark yoke]

||stallball?||

[orchid maple]

Nah ||scream skip||

How would I get a free kill with an ||unupgraded spell?||

[spark yoke]

||what even is it||

Wait i didnt need to blurb that out whoops

[orchid maple]

||if you shade dash into a boss with a long scream animation at the right time you won’t get stunned and you can hit them while they scream||

It lets you DESTROY ||collector||

[spark yoke]

Oh right

[orchid maple]

Bc he giggles for like 12 sec

[spark yoke]

||bro i thought we were talking about pogoing abyss shrieks||

Im slow

||i think the only viable one on current patch is for thk||

[orchid maple]

Nah I only recently found out the way to even DO ||shrogo||

[spark yoke]

Nice

[orchid maple]

I can’t do it tho

[kind escarp]

i finally beat ||watcher knights||

lets goooooo

thanks

[orchid maple]

||You used the chandelier right?||

[spark yoke]

Yooooo

[kind escarp]

yes

[delicate falcon]

hop on ||inventory scream skips||

idk relative difficulty to other ones

lucifer pfp?

[orchid maple]

Wait but you can’t inventory drop on current patch

[delicate falcon]

not drop

[orchid maple]

Ye and?

[delicate falcon]

opening it at the right time

[delicate falcon]

cool

[spark yoke]

You can frame perfect drop

Thats what i do

[orchid maple]

I know

But it’s less fun

[spark yoke]

Ok fair

[orchid maple]

Also ||infected crossroads|| makes the room it would be fun in unfun

[thick wing]

tags

[delicate falcon]

grev

[thick wing]

what

[tacit ridge]

what’s the optimal ||charm build for p5||

I’m using ||strength, quick slash, heart, and shamans|| right now

[thick wing]

I would say ||Shaman Stone, Quick Slash, Strength, Spell Twister||

It's a good meta

[abstract gorge]

HOLY SHIT LETS GO I MADE IT TO

||ABSOLUTE RADIANCES

||

I practice the shit out of her today

[scenic egret]

i would replace ||heart with grubsong and steady body||

||steady body is a must with quick slash||

[gusty magnet]

I think ||heart is good for initially learning bosses but on actual attempts replace it since you should in theory be getting hit less||

[scenic egret]

it mostly depends on how often you actually need that 2 health and go down to 2 or 1 mask

[ruby shuttle]

it makes up though with the ||lifeblood|| that you get throughout

[gusty magnet]

||if they don't have any bindings tho then that doesn't mean anything||

[ruby shuttle]

i guess

but ||bindings|| are that hard to get

aren't*

[gusty magnet]

||I didn't even know there was a reward for bindings until I finished p5||

[ruby shuttle]

oh

that just makes it more impressive

[gusty magnet]

||also the fact you need 8 bindings before you get any lifeblood is a lot of effort||

[potent spade]

my friend told me there is a hard place in the game called ||white palace|| and idk where is it

[tacit ridge]

Do you have ||dream nail||?

[potent spade]

is it the one in ||resting grounds||?

[tacit ridge]

Yeah

[potent spade]

then yeah i do

[tacit ridge]

Gather ||1800 essence||

[potent spade]

just saw my achievements

i did

smh

[fallen mesa]

how I play gam guys

[gusty magnet]

You cry

[scenic egret]

by not trolling because that isnt allowed

[fallen mesa]

i don’t see that in the server description or rules

[dire lintel]

ya need any help?

[scenic egret]

if nobody needs help then its fine

[fallen mesa]

where is this at 🤽🏻‍♀️

anyway. no one needed help lol

[scenic egret]

the pins

[obsidian vault]

Hi! So I was stupid and while messing with the keybinds I accidentally set left click to down, and I had already set it to attack. So I no longer have an attack key or any way to select something in the game. How do I fix this?

[dire lintel]

i dunno if i got you wrong
if you cannot select with your mouse you can use your jump key

[obsidian vault]

That worked thank you!!

[coarse totem]

how do i beat it

[amber perch]

hit it when it comes at you

[somber hill]

it will stay still at the end of each attack then ||teleport and start the cycle of attack-pause-teleport etc|| u can either use something that can ||hit em with the distance between them and u or u can attack them when they pause||

[iron arrow]

||is there any reward for defeating NKG or just for funsies?||

[wraith sail]

||there is though its not great||

[elder canopy]

||beating the boss is the reward basically||

[coarse totem]

ty

guys i js beat the ||3 dreamers|| does that mean i can fight the ||hollow knight?||

im not ready for him 😭 i still barely got any ||abilities or charms and i need to upgrade my nail||

im gonna go in anyways

[daring moat]

it's finee

you're gonna be fine

[coarse totem]

sooo hes easy?

[daring moat]

let me put it this way

||if you were able to get all 3 dreamers, you probably wont struggle that much on the hollow knight||. usually, at least

[coarse totem]

when i beat him, what happens?

can i still continue the game?

[daring moat]

yes

[coarse totem]

ok nice! ty

[daring moat]

you just get sent back to before the fight

np

[coarse totem]

is ||channeled nail|| enough to beat him btw?

or should i ||upgrade it more||

[olive pecan]

One must always go to the furthest lengths, or u can not. Id prefer it over the death hole of hk

[daring moat]

you can upgrade it one more time if you want, and that would make the fight comparatively easier, but you definitely can do it like this too if you ||use spells a lot (important )||

[coarse totem]

OH MY GOD

ITS HIM

[daring moat]

yippee

[coarse totem]

||https://medal.tv/games/hollow-knight/clips/2awHZm16DR_ErV/d1337u5PkUrQ?invite=cr-MSxwV24sMTgyODAwNTQ2LA||

🔹 An unnecessary spoiler is a spoiler (even a tagged one!) that was not directly requested by the user being helped, such as help referencing in-game content that the player has not necessarily reached - Charms build containing Charms they haven’t found, for example. These spoilers, though generally good-intentioned, can harm a player’s experience as any other spoiler would. Remember the game is non-linear; Always make sure to know what a player has and where they’ve reached. A simple screenshot of their map and inventory would tell you all you need to know.

The max is not that

Great!

But yeah, thanks for remembering that I don't like getting pinged for a greeting/farewell!
I appreciate it.

it does count for completion though

Well since the game is extremely nonlinear this really depends ,but trying it and seeing if you do well is probably the ultimate test

im just seeing if i have a big skill issue

or not

||trial 2 rn||

[neat karma]

Goodluck

[flint elk]

ty

[shut sparrow]

I thought you ||replied to another message nvm||

[dire lintel]

yea that one is a bit tough sometimes

[shut sparrow]

this one

[neat karma]

My message wouldnt have made any sense either then

[shut sparrow]

indeed

I'm sleepy ok?

[neat karma]

Oh yeah did you wake up very early or did you just not sleep nonsenf

[shut sparrow]

Difficult to answer

I woke up at 1

am

[next otter]

how does one beat ||ascended markoth||

[dire lintel]

till the end it gets a bit tricky
you might want to get more upgrades if you not feel comfortable

[shut sparrow]

use primarily ||great and dash slash to hit him. The range is big enough to also hit him through his shield so you can keep enough distance to not get hit. Save your soul in the first phase and then use all of it with shade souls in the second phase trying to get as many double hits as possible. He should be very low at that point||

[shut sparrow]

||have you fought her before?||

[misty osprey]

Hi ! How can I access ||King's station ?||

[rough ether]

Wdym? You just walk up to it

[misty osprey]

Access is blocked by a wall and I couldn't find the lever

[rough ether]

Can you send a screenshot of where you are at?

[misty osprey]

Okok

[flint elk]

||where do i go after getting monarch wings||

[shut sparrow]

images also need spoiler tags btw

[rough ether]

Why the ?

[rough ether]

Go to places you previously couldn't reach

[dire lintel]

new knight

[flint elk]

i have a bad memory

[rough ether]

Or just look at your map and go to unexplored sections

[flint elk]

ok

[dense plaza]

no

[rough ether]

New Knights can send images in Help (and modding help)

[dire lintel]

finally

[shut sparrow]

then you can't

Why would you want to practice a boss without having fought it before anyway?

[rough ether]

Because going through ||p5 ||just to die at the end isn't fun

[shut sparrow]

hm true

[dense plaza]

[shut sparrow]

Well yeah the answer is you can't. You'll have|| to meet a boss first before being able to practice it||

[misty osprey]

I sent you the screen in mp

[rough ether]

Anyway, you can't get there yet

It has to be opened from the other side

[misty osprey]

Oh ok

[rough ether]

So, just explore the rest of ||city ||you can access

(Also, I wouldn't recommend looking at online maps as it can cause unnecessary confusion (like this))

[exotic wedge]

wtf nonsef is a caterpillar

[rugged veldt]

So true

[hollow igloo]

[frosty birch]

go for it

[flint elk]

ok

[flint elk]

i killed him

[thick wing]

Bruh

You don't ask for "did you do _", it's a gateway to unneccessary spoilers

Instead ask "can I see your inventory"

Assume nothing.

[undone flower]

if you aren’t absolutely certain they already know about something, don’t tell them unless it’s strictly necessary and they’re okay with that kind of spoiler

[misty osprey]

Where can I buy a key in the ||city of tears?||

[thick wing]

Spoiler tag content after dirtmouth, ||this||

[undone flower]

Can i see your map? (tag your message first pls)

[misty osprey]

Sorry

[thick wing]

ok so there is one in a large vertical room

You don't buy it

If you haven't found it keep going through

[scarlet hull]

Smh

?tag uncspoilers

[languid radish]

🔹 An unnecessary spoiler is a spoiler (even a tagged one!) that was not directly requested by the user being helped, such as help referencing in-game content that the player has not necessarily reached - Charms build containing Charms they haven’t found, for example. These spoilers, though generally good-intentioned, can harm a player’s experience as any other spoiler would. Remember the game is non-linear; Always make sure to know what a player has and where they’ve reached. A simple screenshot of their map and inventory would tell you all you need to know.

[delicate falcon]

wtf did tags get updated again or have I not used them in forever

[scarlet hull]

No

It’s been like this for a while iirc

[astral bobcat]

I fixed my corrupted save

[rigid fractal]

Sad

[scarlet hull]

Hooray

Wait how

[astral bobcat]

So a while back I installed the debug mod and while I was figuring out how to use it I accidentally deleted some of my abilities and that’s why my % wasn’t accurate

[rigid knot]

How can i open this?

[astral bobcat]

And also why ||crystal heart ||was not working

Lifeblood masks

||Equip all your lifeblood charms||

[proper frost]

1.Let them think

2.tags.

[fair lake]

That too.

[proper frost]

No,actually

They are in king's pass

[fair lake]

I don't think that's before Dirtmouth.

Ye
Exactly.

[proper frost]

But this is actually much more of a spoiler

[astral bobcat]

It’s the tutorial

[proper frost]

That's where you spawn if i haven't gone insane

[fair lake]

I mean that thing.
It isn't before Dirtmouth.

[fair lake]

.

[astral bobcat]

Yeah but it’s before Dartmouth

[fair lake]

It isn't.
That door is in the ||Abyss|| iirc.

[proper frost]

It was before man edited,so it implies there may be some charms with a kinda that name

What?

We are talking that lifeblood masks aren't a spoiler

The word lifeblood is not a spoiler

There is a cacoon in king's pass

[fair lake]

Oh
It isn't a spoiler because they're before Dirtmouth?

[proper frost]

Yes.

[fair lake]

Now I understand.

Thought that, Mr Man saying that it's before Dirtmouth, they meant that door.

Okay.

I'm not mentioning their names though.

[orchid fossil]

but you implied that they exist

[fair lake]

After Mr Man already talked about them.

[orchid fossil]

also good morning y’all

[fair lake]

Good morning!

[alpine comet]

[orchid fossil]

just because someone else spoiled content doesn’t mean it’s magically ok to continue spoiling stuff

[fair lake]

Yeah, I agree.
I was posting those messages for the person who asked about that door.
I can delete my posts that are mentioning those charms.

[orchid fossil]

alright go ahead

[fair lake]

Ye
Sure.

Done.

[coarse totem]

i pogo jumped on a mosquito

to get to it

[proper frost]

Oh

[coarse totem]

[proper frost]

Well that doesn't really matter

[proper frost]

No

[coarse totem]

weird

[proper frost]

And?

[coarse totem]

what could be the reason

[coarse totem]

ig just that

[proper frost]

There is one more thing

[coarse totem]

[coarse totem]

[rough ether]

No

[torn nymph]

||go to the fountain in ancient basin or just get every charm from sky and uh the charm girl I forgot ||

I forgot what charms you had but I know it wasn’t. A lot

[coarse totem]

i did

except the ||fountain||

what does it even give me?

[torn nymph]

Go do that

You’ll see :3

|| if you have over 3k it doesn’t take all of your geo tho ||

[coarse totem]

ok 👍

[flint elk]

where do i go after getting || shade cloak ||

[coarse totem]

dropped like 500 last time sooooo i only need 2.5k

[coarse totem]

explore more

[flint elk]

where

[coarse totem]

thats the beauty of hollow knight

[torn nymph]

I don’t think it saves it up but I forgot so maybe

[proper frost]

no that's fake.It only happens after ||you've upgraded all the cahrms||

[coarse totem]

anywhere, if you really want then go watch some yt tutorials

[flint elk]

do i go to || beehive || or whatever i just saw it once

[coarse totem]

but they could spoil you

[coarse totem]

its a hard area but you can definetely get to it

[jade sedge]

Yeah dont even recommend youtube, itll spoil them

[jade sedge]

Sure

[torn nymph]

Have you seen ||any barriers in places like fog canyon that you couldn’t go through before? Maybe go check those out :3 ||

[vivid fog]

Otso

[jade sedge]

Gwnj

[coarse totem]

[proper frost]

[flint elk]

[torn nymph]

I edited it

[flint elk]

ohh

[torn nymph]

Wait || equip defenders crest when you buy stuff from him||

[coarse totem]

go back to ||fog canyon|| and youll see something very familiar which is now unlocked

[coarse totem]

yes ik that thanks

[flint elk]

what was that

[coarse totem]

should i tell you? you could just go back and check

[flint elk]

i dont think i have that

[torn nymph]

Explore then

[flint elk]

i only have || fungal wastes ||

ok

[coarse totem]

ohhhh thats why

ok then good luck

[simple island]

so
it had happen, though not to me but in this chat
that someone had managed to lock themselves out of a ||charm like this
their specific setup was, get a fragile, upgrade it, then go talk to leggy and don't buy the rest
maybe they were lying someone and that didn't work but at least this is what they claimed||

[proper frost]

oh okay
well it is possible with the 🍝 i supose
but at very least ghazi just assumed off wiki,didn't check soo

(hi aze btw )

[flint elk]

what are ||rancid eggs|| for?

[spark yoke]

||jiji||

[flint elk]

whos that

[spark yoke]

||the shade recaller||

||next to dirtmouth||

[undone flower]

unnecessary spoilers

[undone flower]

unnecessary spoilers

[spark yoke]

Oh mb

[undone flower]

if you aren’t absolutely certain they already know about something, don’t tell them unless it’s strictly necessary and they’re okay with that kind of spoiler

would've been better to just give them a hint

like "you'll know exactly when you're able to use them, keep exploring the world"

[vivid fog]

Iroh

[undone flower]

Not a big deal, just know for the future

[spark yoke]

Ok

[flint elk]

ohh him

he just says the normal thing like ||you dont have regrets||

[spark yoke]

Oh

You need to wait

[flint elk]

alr

[ruby shuttle]

he says that because you haven't lost your ||shade||

[spark yoke]

Yea

[flint elk]

does the ||infection after lost kin do anything or just changes the enemies to infected ones||

[undone flower]

The latter

[ruby shuttle]

basically

[spark yoke]

It changes some of the platforming

[flint elk]

oh

[ruby shuttle]

blocks some paths

[spark yoke]

Yeah

[flint elk]

ok

i mean i got the || dark shade or whatever its called||

just now

like 5 min ago

[ruby shuttle]

||dark shade?||

||shade dash||

[flint elk]

nvm

|| dark cloak||

[spark yoke]

||upgraded fire ball?||

Oh ok nvm

[flint elk]

|| shade cloak from abyss ||

[spark yoke]

Ok

[flint elk]

whats ||elegant key|| fpr

[ruby shuttle]

door

[flint elk]

oh

[spark yoke]

||a place in city||

[flint elk]

||city of tears||

?

[spark yoke]

Ye

[flint elk]

ok

[ruby shuttle]

||left side city|| to be precise

[flint elk]

also is like the place where|| you can choose a boss and fight it like an endgame thing or?||

[ruby shuttle]

huh

[undone flower]

Very

[flint elk]

||i think it was called godmaster||

or was it a dlc

or something

[undone flower]

||Godhome|| Late game spoiler, idk if you've finished the game or not lol

[undone flower]

||location is called godhome, dlc is called godmaster||

[ruby shuttle]

just a weird description. I know what it is

[flint elk]

wasnt it like a dlc because ive heard it being a dlc or sometrhing

ohh

[ruby shuttle]

yes

[undone flower]

mhm

[flint elk]

whats the difference

[undone flower]

DLC's are basically just updates

[flint elk]

oh

[undone flower]

by buying the game all DLC's are included and downloaded

[ruby shuttle]

sincee their free

all updates: ||godmaster, Grimm Troupe, lifeblood, hidden dreams||

[flint elk]

dlc's for hollow knight are free?

[ruby shuttle]

they come with the game

so ye

[undone flower]

they're more so updates than DLC's really

they're pretty seamlessly integrated into the game

[vernal storm]

|| How do i fight zote in the colosseum of fools? Like what do I do to get to the fight||

[fair lake]

||You must do the first trial.||

[vernal storm]

I already did it

[fair lake]

||Did you save Zote or not?||

[vernal storm]

|| I did he is just locked up down near the bench ||

[proper frost]

wtf unneceserry spoilers?

[fair lake]

Hmm
Strange.
||He's the boss in the first trial, iirc.||
||Maybe another helper can tell you what you have to do, in order to fight him in the Colosseum.||

[proper frost]

maybe they saved it afterwards

[fair lake]

Not really.
Since they couldn't ||fight Zote in the Colosseum, there was the chance that they didn't save him earlier in the game.||

[proper frost]

no nmv,i didn't pay enough attention,sorry.

[fair lake]

What did they save afterwards?

[proper frost]

||zote||

[fair lake]

I see.
It's okay.

[fair lake]

Okay.
||He's found at the beginning of the game and they're in Kingdom's Edge.||

[proper frost]

maybe they did the ||trial first||,then went to ||deepnest||

well i don't think how else it wouldn't work really

[fair lake]

||Zote can be found before you go to Deepnest.
But yeah, they might not have saved him in Deepnest.||

[fair lake]

I see.

[flint elk]

is the ||beehive important to progress or is it just for completion||

[viral dew]

Is it safe to die in ||nkg as ss||?

[vivid fog]

Who's ||ss?||

[viral dew]

||steel soul||

[orchid fossil]

yep

||if your shade doesn’t spawn, you’re good (unless it’s wp)||

[topaz sparrow]

there is a ||mask maker|| down in ||deep nest|| and idk how to interact with him

[proper frost]

he's just lore

[hidden urchin]

you can't

[topaz sparrow]

shi ight

[topaz sparrow]

[high quail]

Looks fire tbh

[fallen tundra]

i believe

i think

[vernal storm]

there is no such thing as aesthetic enough

[high quail]

Someone did it

But the file was 1gb

[fallen tundra]

in hollow knight there is

[high quail]

Which more than the Fucking game

[fallen tundra]

ok but chances are modding fr mobile isnt a thing

[high quail]

But 200 mb 😭

By*

[bright sorrel]

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

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

[high quail]

But what she spoiler on what I say tho

The*

[bright sorrel]

u cant mod on mobile, and especially not pirated versions of the gam

[fallen tundra]

you probably shouldnt be admitting that u pirated a game on ur phone lil bro

[high quail]

Do y'all believe me now?

[fallen tundra]

thats probably a entire diffrent version

[bright sorrel]

||grimm|| is a character after dirtmouth

[fallen tundra]

not a thir dparty mod

[high quail]

Yep

[fallen tundra]

its probably a fully modded version of the entire game

not just a single third party mod

so

[high quail]

The field is 1gb

File*

[fallen tundra]

zexel stop talking about you pirating the game

[proven ore]

The double damage is crazy

[fallen tundra]

okay

[high quail]

And I have a massive skill issue

[fallen tundra]

can someone explain what ||weaversong is used for? doesnt it jus tspawn miniature things? but idk what they do so like||

[proven ore]

relatable as fuck

[high quail]

It took me around 40+ hours to beat the game 70%

[proven ore]

so they deal damage to enemies and with ||Grubsong|| they harvest ||SOUL||

[high quail]

I think they do damage not sure tho

[fallen tundra]

i might use that

seems good

do they also deal dmg with ||grubsong||

[proven ore]

yeah

[fallen tundra]

ok

[high quail]

I don't really love ||weaversong ,and grimchild||

I feel like it's not worth it

[proven ore]

those two together stop the use of ||Millibelle||

[thorny token]

Tags

[proven ore]

it's tagged?

[high quail]

What?

[fallen tundra]

it IS tagged

buddy

[thorny token]

Oh it is

My phone's brightness is at like 1

And I have memory of goldfish

[high quail]

So is finshing the game 96%in 57 hours good or I just suck at the game

[thorny token]

It's alright

[proven ore]

[thorny token]

Iirc I have 54ish hrs at 111%

[high quail]

I didn't do ||path of pain or beat the radiance||

[thorny token]

Not req for %

[proven ore]
