where exactly is the place i need to dropoff at
The p||lace above queens gardens stag. Its a grave site||
The p||atch to the grave is covered with thorns||
When asking for that kind of things is very helpfull if you show us what you have, so we can avoid spoilering u
Altough it shouldnt be too much problem with anything you want to use
||Imo use catcher and shamans, shade soul is really good||
does ||colesseum of fools|| count for completion
Yes
||They dont really increase your dps, better to use charms that make it die faster. Shamans increases shade soul damage by 33% which is very significant||
No those r kinda mid
||MoP is a fine charm too, but if you are fine with using spells shamans is better||
Hi gwnj 
You mean asternwest?
is killing ||absolute radiance or like whatever that white floaty thing a godmaster ending or a main ending||
||godmaster ending = one of the endings, idk what you mean by “main”||
Base game(no dlcs), no
no dlcs
||how many essences do u need to finish the requests from the dream nail npc?||
||that ending was added in along with godmaster, so no it’s not a “base game” ending (although dlcs are built into the game anyway)||
||2400 (achievement), 1800 (last “real” reward||
is ||hornet|| supposed to appear during ||hollow knight|| fight
when i got that ending
she never appeared
||only if you have a certain charm||
okie dokie
You need another charm to obtain it though
Which
You need the ||second half||
i just got it while just killing random bosses
Oh
ill watch a guide or something
Sure if ya want to
Not for anything significant
for the second half
oh no
Like ||white palace||
||PoP|| is just for fun and lor
so the ||other half of white fragment isnt in PoP or it is||
how tf did you find ||PoP|| before the other half
i didnt
i know
only ||white palace||
if the other half IS in ||PoP||
if you just like explore you'd find the other half
i still dont know where other half is
wait no
i got the other half
i dont know where ||PoP|| is
sorry
mistype

wtf it's flamenix
Iirc boring
i think i did it
Did what
Where u at rn
🫵🐱
nvm
There’s a bit more to go (tags Preshaps)
i just got to a lever\
That was awfully fast
||hornet on radiant|| is taking a drain on me
Rip
oh no
Which one
can i set a ||dreamgate|| at the ||radiance|| boss fight place? i hate having to fight the ||hollow knight|| every time
||Hormet 1 or horny 2?||
Sad
No. Womp womp

SO THATS WHAT THIS MEANS
||THK is easy. Just spam abyss shreks and ddives||
now
Now go d||o the right side||
I DID IT
Its easier dw
I DID ITTTT
okie dokie
Yesssss
1
GG!
Now do ||hornet 2||
U'll get better
No youll get gud
alright just a few more bosses until im confident to refight ||nkg||
ik its still a bit of a hassle tho 
Sad
Yeah fair
Its just an elegant and a bit of an aggressive fight. Just dont get too cocky
I hated that too when I grinded ||radiance||
Should I tag calamity references
Or just not make them because no one will understand
If it sounds close to hk. Then yeah prolly
Nah
Yeah

I feel like its the wrong chat discussion though
i cant even pass the first obstacle
Which one again? I no rember
Fun fact: I beat ||PoP|| at an airport and got my speedrunning pb on an airplane
what do i do here
my strategy for ||giant moss charger radiant||:
If it jumps, run for you rlife
If it charge, attack
Yes
Does ||sawblade|| move
yes
Po||go the saws to go up ig. Or wait for the saw to go up then just climb quickyl||
up and down
Ok so go on the wall and then jump on the other wall and then the first wall again and then the second again
I bet that helped a lot
||With good timing you can win by just attacking. Just don't move (unless the moss charger jumps of course)||
e
||walljump above it it will follow you up but you should be faster ||
Naice
Continue doing that
Now go back and repeat there should be another crevasse
got it
Then keep going and you should reach the next section
just beat ||MMC on radiant||
Oh yeah
Waw i didnt know that
Idk man.|| I just use qslash and the power of going back and forth||
U can prob also just hide in the ceiling and use ||minions||
That takes too long
Ok fine
lets go
Ooooooooh
Nice
So now what youre gonna wanna do is look for the ||area called path of pain|| or something like that
Its really fun trust
ye
Idk
just get that and then come back
im here rn
He should still be on the lookout
Or don't come back. They can do that whenever they want
Yeah
||dash then double jump||
||double jump|| does work i dont have the height
But u|| can skip all that crap by pogo the saws to go up||
ill try that
tags
worked
just beat ||crys guardian on radiant|| first try
Eyyy
Good job bro,|| now do enraged garden. When he screams. Ddive to avoid getting lasrreddd||

Back in time

When you sent some picture with a wall on the left and cross said it isnt ||PoP||
From my reply ping

And listen for audio cues
Do you remember the section that kinda looked like this except it was ||sawblades||?

Nice
None of it is impossible
ok so am i going the right way for the other half?
Its a hyperbole
What is a good charm build for ||White palace||
YOOOOOOOO
Yeah i think so
Wow thats what you meant by other half this whole time?
Im really slow
Show charms.
All except ||Kingsoul||
Nice!
||Grubsong and either Hiveblood or Deep Focus.||

||nailmaster||

YES
Ive been trying them for so long
||any charm recommendations for nkg?||

whatever build u usually use ?
Does he know?
i never get these questions like do people change for every boss fight
does no one have a playstyle they like to use
yeah cuz every boss has different weaknesses
no 😭
i switch mine every now and then
theyre all very well balanced so u can use whatever u like
“Hollow knight bosses are well balanced”
Yooooooo

Put || around your messages to hide spoilers
@acoustic scaffold put || on each side of your post.
Wait
Bruh wrong one
||spoiler|| ||spoiler||
Double
two on each side
Two at each side
Epic spoiler tag fail.
||I'm trying to activate the mantis lords||
Alr
Also delete the old ones
||sorry, im dumb||
Now delete old ones
You dont need tags for that
Its ok i made the same mistake when i joined
What exactly are you trying to do to "activate" them?
Up

Its hard but it's possible to jump up there
Easy
just wonderin
Soooooo easy
scale of 1 to 10
0
pretty difficult but it depends on your progress
/srs
Really hard at first, but once you learn it its easy
to fight him i gotta get all ||red flames|| on the map?
Yeah
Yeah
@acoustic scaffold
||If you've already fought the Sisters of Battle, Dream Nail the Mantis Lords statue.||
But its not worth it
||hit the lever, not dnail||
Just fight him in ||godhome|| and || banish the troupe||
look
Nah fighting him legit is more fun
Yeah, I forgor.
XD
then you haven't fought them yet
You need to encounter them at least one time
also please tag the message and delete the image
please delete this
Do ||pantheons||. Also delete the image
i have to find they again?
They're inside a ||pantheon.||
Also spoiler
Before you can fight any boss in the ||hall of gods you first need to fight them somewhere else and there is no exception to this. If you haven't fought sisters of battle but only mantis lords then that means you can't fight them and first need to find them somewhere else||
should i be worried
tysm
Look at the are we going to fight the sun meme
please edit this message
Also no
Keep doing ||pantheons.||
also this needs spoiler tags
||collo 1||
||colo 2|| is my favorite farming area
I'm brazillian, Im learning english, sorry if my english isnt good
ok thanks
Yes
||Colosseum 2, or I heard farming those hopping bugs in kingdoms edge is good too||
||You can do one of the following:
- Colo 2.
- Keep killing the big bug knights in the City of Tears.
- Keep killing the little hoppers in Kingdom's Edge.||
No it's alright. It's about spoiler tags. Everything past dirtmouth in hollow knight needs to be tagged ||like this|| including boss names or areas or items
If you really want the best farm the ||guards in city of tears big area|| but thats boring
THE best build of all time
how much geo do they drop?
Dont have ||strength||
thank you 🙏
You're welcome!
Oof
thats what im trying to get 😥
no that's a relatively slow one
Like 50 but you can use ||greed|| thats why its better
No its surprisingly good i think
oh nice
when do i heal in ||the radiance||
But its boring
||Colo and hoppers are ~700 per minute and that's most likely more than double or even triple the one in city||
During the ||sword shoot|| or ||light beam shoot||
Ok mb
||during the swords attack and if you have qf you ca heal in a few others too||
||after almost any attack. Just don't hesitate abandoning the heal if you see something coming towards you||
Dont you guys just love my creative attack names
So for it we just put the two lines
For spoilers yeah
try it out with ||test|| or something first
But I feel like everyone learned that the hard way
Yeah for some reason people can't read the rules
Yup
wtf hi mango 
Who mango
i agree
Ye
yes or no
Okay
Sort of ig
wait
||base game ending|| needs tags and if you mean dlc or not then yes it does not have to do with any dlc
there is no ||true ending. Peopme just call it that because it's easier||
Spoilsport
||dream no more is true ending||
no
i refuse to belive otherwise
as I said ||there is no canonically true ending||
All ||endings could be true as tc stated||
||Pantheon 3 with Shaman Stone, Longnail, Quickslash, and Unbreakable Strength||
at least it has the ||true ending energy||
are you asking if that is good or what is the question?
||could change spell twister for longnail||
If it is good
||radiance|| is way too hard
Practice makes perfect
||abyss shriek would like to disagree||
i die after about 25 seconds
still use it
I would use ||steady body and grubsong or nailmasters glory instead of longnail but twister, catcher or any other 2 notch charms work except for sharp shadow. This one is bad||
i just get hit
Okay
for 2
What about ||baldur shell||
Thats trash too
hm maybe look around a bit more
Hmm
best charms for ||flower quest?||
do you have every charm?
yep
does getting hit while ||healing with balder shell count as a hit in hitless run||?
No i dont think so
Some people say yes, some people say no
I was planning on using ||balder shell for the flower quest||
how many ||notches?||
would not recommend
but idk if the ||flower|| breaks
All
Doesn't really matter. Wouldn't be good either way
spoiler tags on the image
||grubberfly strenght shaman twister||
||longer hit = easier enemies to kill||
||infection||
I'd use ||strength/shaman, sprintmaster, dashmaster, mark of pride/Grubberfly's elegy, compass, overcharm with eater||
Do I go in ||forgotten crossroads?||
or just use the ||tram||
that destroys it iirc
You don't
ITS NOT POSSIBLE C'MON
No, just ||stag and dreamgate|| I'm pretty certain
ya I just realized
it actually is
I go in ||greenpath?||
||queens garden||
you don't
That’s the funny part
you cant
I already know that
You can’t
I already know where I have to go
do you want to see the safest route?
Yes.
I was adding some humor to it smh
though there might be some minor spoilers for you on there
i cant equip all that
if you ||overcharm you can||
Do i have to go ||overcharged?||
The / means either this or that
oh
would be the best
why not?
well i'll try then
Do you still want it?
||so grubberfly's elegy, compass, sprint master, dash master, strength and soul eater||
im a ||nail dude|| so i dont use||spells much||
does anybody know of a map that somehow indicates requirements for getting access to rooms/collectibles, as well as just showing where they are? Trying to figure out some routing and this would help immensely
I literally beat ||NKG with just nail||
then your current build is good
||yes. Shaman is also really useful so you could think about using that as well instead of strength or mop instead of elegy||
||https://scripterswar.com/hollowknight/map|| but watch out for spoilers beacuse it's in full shape
pretty sure that link needs spoiler tags
what is there to spoil?
you could kill all the bugs in the way and then accept the ||flower||
Too hard
It's an image of the map with the route drawn on it. The map could show them some things that they haven't seen yet
||does overcharm grant double damage to enemies?||
no
Yes?
you take double dmg so its practically the same
||I used it 1 time and was vs lost kin||
||you take double damage, not them||
Weird wording
MY GAME CRASHED AT THE VERY END OF ||PATH OF PAIN|| I AM ACTUALLY GOING TO EXPLODE AAAAAAAAA
damn
RIP
you have the experience
If you can do it once you can do it again
to go there again
when my controller disconnects and reconnects the game crashes
Is that a known bug?
no
No clue
||it's funny how my friend says I saw a tutorial to find the flower quest||
I literally was searching the ||grub||
Lmao
Spoilers aren't an issue for me as I'm just doing no death run attempts after beating the game already, so this seems like a super helpful resource - thank you 
||Do i pass through city of tears?||
Again do you want the route even if it might have spoilers? You didn't answer the last time
There’s a lot of ||flower routes that people use||
||Or the flower gets destroyed if I use the elevator?||
nono i'll do It myself
alright good
no
no it wont
you can use ||tram also||
the ||flower gets destroyed|| with the ||tram||
no
you might be confusing with ||stag||
hey, so im having this bug that when i start the game the controller works without issues, but after a random amount of time most of the buttons stop working except for a few (for example joystick and r2 stop working but d-pad and square still work as usual)
it doesnt break with the ||tram|| only with the ||stags||
restarting the game fixes the issue, and i only have it with hollow knight
the keys sticky?
or you have mods
vanilla
maybe clean the controller
sum sticky under it making it not work after using for a long time
probs
Im dead
im trying a fix suggested in #hk-discussion
i use it regularly and only have the issue w hk
probs sum with your station overheating
can be
yall got any tips for ||radiance||
she doesnt deal physical dmg
??
dodge attacks👍
anything that will help me beat her
and downslam gives i-frames
||D DARK SAVING ME IS WILD||
||During the platform phase, stay on the bottom middle platform and only attack her whenever she teleports there or on the platforms to your left and right.||
theres a ||platform phase???||
use ||DD|| whne she uses her from the air downwards and use ||shaman stone and longnail|| is my fav
i havent staggered her once
Yes.
2nd phase
Keep at it and learn her patterns.
I swear to god if i die another time for ||mossfly|| im gay
The number depends on who you ask
Maybe don't say that?
Hence the names instead of number
im gay
tkd
bruh
||I want to beat the dream version of dump defender but he aint in his secret room, how can I get him to be there?||
is he above?
you have to kill all ||dreamers||
yes
then do this
||all dreamers or all dreamers before him?||
||all dreamers||
all
||radiance|| is impossible
after the 1000th hour its like ||moss charger||
what do you define as phase 2
||what charms should I use for POP? (I have every charm)||
platforms
||hiveblood mop gsong strenght||
thats phase 4
huh
yeah
i made her fall and like
black stuff got her
and then i died
right after tha
like its impossible to heal and she deals 2 damage
your close you can beat her
you sure
yes 100%
mop might fuck up ur pogoing bc different reach
cant get her to platforms again
should I switch it then? Or just keep it
you can use ||longnail tho a little more is helpful so use either of them||
Ok
If using that numeration then wich are 2 and 3?
the only reasons shes hard is that she does 2 dmaage and she teleports
flying knives
always get me
and i cant heal
and the floor spikes
||either use dive to avoid the or stay far away from her so its easier to dodge||
||phase 2 is the spikes on one side and phase 3 is continues sword from above||
when do i heal tho
Oh
and when do i attack
dont go for attack when shes on the|| corner in platform phase attack only when shes on the centre ||
Oh...
use ||qf you can get alot of heal in , try healing during the laser attacks or swords||
its possible to atleast get one heal in after an attack
what is ||qf||
||quick focus||
ohh
you dont have ||all notches ||if you get them would help
you can get 2 more
usually you would use up swing to hit her so ||sbody wont help in that||
what ||nail ||you have?
||pure nail||
no ||unbreakable strength||??
can you share your other inventory
||spell build is really good for radiance||
okie dokie
||abyss shriek ||destroys her
For the trophy
"Beat the game 100% and under 20 hours"
If i beat the game under 20 hours and after do the 100% but in 40 hours does it count
no
you have to 100% under 20hrs and beat the game
its not that hard if you know a route
yep
only on 2 health tho rn
bruh
yes about 60% done i think
yo this happenned to me today anything to say ?
never happened to me
can you remove it by opening the map again?
yeah that's how i removed it
then its not a big deal
usually you get hit while the inventory is opned bugs like this occur
then dont go for attacks during that time take an attemp to learn the attacks there
you timed it so that you got hit(cancelling the map open) at the same time you opened the map
maybe idk
its just a visual
mfw the ||ghosts|| in ||soul warrior ascended|| are harder than the actual boss
no bcuz if u look closer when i move my litle night on the map moov too
do u have ||pure nail||
yes

🔹 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.
okay so it's not hard
confirm they have the item first just in case next time
i mentioned that i was in ||godhome||
so its assumed i have ||pure nail||
okay
you can randomly stroll upon it, especially for the lower ||pantheons||
i beat ||pantheon 5|| yesterday personally
||anyone got any tips for the flower quest||
spoiler tags
?tag spoilers
🔹 Ensure Discord’s spoiler tagging is used around spoilers (Charms, bosses, locations, etc.) to be considerate of multiple conversations taking place. Two vertical bars on either side of text will tag it as a spoiler - ||This is a spoiler.|| > ||This is a spoiler.|| Alternatively, adding /spoiler at the start of a message will tag it.
🔹 If you have sent an untagged message, you must either edit it to include spoiler tags or delete it.
Can I ||deliver the delicate flower even after it is destroyed?||
oh mb
I beat || path of pain!||
there we go
you get infinite
no
you gotta go back
get another one
think
enemies dont respawn if you dont sit on a bench
so clear all enemies on a set path, then get the item and do the quest
alright ty for the tips
does that unlock anything?
||journal entry||
What does it do?
The description says what it does

||you get free soul at an incredibly slow rate
however, it does open the way to the birthplace||

I mean, idk where's that
e
hint #2
||the knight has many siblings||
did you guys know ||void heart|| is the best charm? I've never seen a speedrunner attempt ||radiance|| without it
||does using dreamgate count as sitting on a bench or no ||
had a few ||trials|| with the ||last trial|| and nothing seems to work, how can I make my blade stronger appart from ||pale ore|| and the charms?
alright good
you are expected to have max equipment
No other way I believe
