I js realised why i have no charms
Yes
NICE thanks
Yup
Its cuz im so broke when i explore i cant afford any
Why did the ||forbidden crossroads get inffected|| retorical question btw, is it js me or did something change
i wonder
Uhmm
I found this placr
I think lores happening
||” go no further little shadow”||
Now how the fuck does ||corneliois|| get here
||found the dream nail!!…?||
||how do i get desilate dive||
can you send an image of ur map
Ok now wtf is tbis boss
Like what
I dont have a map for this area
||was dream warrior sposed to be hard||
||cornifer is just a god||
I see
Where do i find cornierfer is ||resting grounds||
In
What are the little crumbling ground things for
Whenever i walk
u dont
Oh
he is not there
u can check the ||map shop in dirtmouth for it||
yeah
Why is all of || crissroads infected||
g
Bc your progression is kinda wacky
Anyways that boss isnt intended for wack progression
Its hard even for me
And ive beaten almost every boss in the game
No
gl good pal
All i need is redbull, an extra headset to throw and a half hour of free time
redbull is bad
true
why saying to others that they have skill issue? 
Yeah
He does 
Rate the charms now
Which one
The third one you equiped
||whats wsong||
Isnt it good?
it is....
-2
But only for experts of the game ||that are confident enough to no hit a boss||
Alright wait
So it does activate unless im at ||one soul||?
How in gods name do you have ||wsonf||
Bruh whats ||wsong||
Also ||dashmaster for starters isnt that great, i know it gives a bit of speed but you dont need that as a new player, focus on somethibg more usefull for fights||
||weaversong||
The one at the bottom row u got
Oh that one
Idk i js got it
Im not exactly in any bossfights rn so im using it to get around
How tf you have ||wsong|| and not ||longnail|| 😭
I had to google for it when collecting the last ones i think
how u got it already?
He googled everytiing
Thats how his progress is
At
||dont use fotf, you arent gonna be at 1hp specially if exploring||
You spoiled urself the map?
Thats why the progress is messed up
“Should i explore? na, im just gonna go to next area”
But still
Ikik
This is how you have 6 charms
No its cuz im always too broke to afford any
11
Thats why
You dont explore
You just go to next area
What
Cuz i die alot when i explore and i dont care about my regret much so i lose my like 50-100 geo
Thats why u try not to carry a lot, and be carefull on unknown terrain
Then just go back there??
I do when i have a lot but when i domt have a lot i js continue on
Anyway did you give 4500 to the ||banker|| yet
Anyways whenever u get good amount of money try to spend it
|| i love mark of pride u should give it a shot if you havent already ||
Is annoying to go back there, i just spend it mostly
I will
Altough you coukd end up getting too used to it
My man got ||MoP|| before ||longnail||
Did you die
Spent a lot of my 4500🫣
On charms and stickers
Soooooo
Now i only got 1700 in there
I remember when i spent all by money on stickers
I would do it again
Anyways GET MORE CHARMS
YESSIR
I bouggt every charm in dirtmiuth
I like the ||red coin pin||
Theres charms in dirtmouth?
Funny how still feels like you have very few in total
😭
And theyre both shit
Well technically he sells 4
I got everything he sells
But the exspensive key
finally got my murder mittens on all the ||void spells||
A charms a charm🤷♀️
what's left is ||nail upgrades|| which means it's time for ||pale ore||
but wanna get the hardest ones first
Wait are there a total of 3 || pale ores or 4||

6 I think
yeah 6
Six
Wat

But i said it has spoilers, not a spoiler
Mate
In this channel everything after dirtmouth needs spoiler tags
You said ||pure nail||
How is that not a spoiler
I think 99% of whatever word is used in hollow knight is a spoiler in this channel lol
Also, its better to not recommend youtube here even when mentioning that it has spoilers, we try to minimize them any way we can
I will not
I mean you can ||dnail|| the statue for secret dialogue 
But that’s it
Im about to give up on this game
They r the cutest
Why do u never wanna see then
Them
Top 10 best and cutest
In hollow knight
They r even better
They r the best
They r cute

In talking bout the small ones
Those ones r annoying
The small ones r so cute
And so r the massive ones
Those suck
Nah
Just get a certain something and they don’t attack u
Ok so I am a relative beginner as far as HK is considered
||I still have two bosses left to beat in the Fungal Wastes||
||Was about to go and defeat the Mantis Lords||
But I noticed
||There was Elder Hu nearby too||
||I do have the dream nail||
Which fight is easier?
my favourite youtuber smh

Pls
both
Like literally all of that pls
well i mean really if you have THAT progress already
theyll take less than three tries each
Thanks for the tags 
Sorry 😦
Anyways
Both fights are pretty easy
But they aren’t required rn
U can go do other things and come back
Msg
Meh*
Try that then
Eh
It’s a very mid reward
Compared to other things
||What does Elder Hu give?||
||essence||
Both have equal rewards imo
@broken sparrow don’t click
||Mantis Lords offer one of the best charms, convienient access to Deepnest, and the Mantis’ Respect||
so worth imo
||best charms|| is crazy 💀
also a metric tonne of geo
It’s a 6-7/10 max
Fair
Go ||mantis|| if u want to fight them
Better and more fun fight then ||elder hu||
||Ok so imma do Mantis Lords first, then Elder Hu||
Sure
ASCEND
One thing I hate about this game sadly
Is the spikes
It takes a lot to initially learn how to time jumps
Eh
Especially around wall spikes
||I almost broke my laptop because of that wall spike area at Queen's Station, to get the fragment ||
I died like 50 times
SMH lol

||shaman, qslash, steady body, grubsong||
Pretty goated loadout if u ask me
No kb
If u aren’t use to it
Don’t use it
Knock back
Yea
That’s the point
Alright
Ye
||SBody + Quick Slash|| is lethal.
damn this is proof that charms make u better 
No problem
The combo is pretty good for what they have
They were just trying it probably
They just got it
I think that was just for travel
Idk why
But it has utility ig
even for travel its not that good
u'll get to a bench eventually
But who cares
lol
In the ||hive tho||
Everything’s passive
For the ||Steel Heart|| achievement, does the ||100% Completion|| have to come from the ||base game|| or does ||% from DLC|| count?
Sorry for stupid use of spoilers, but I rather be safe
i think ||% from dlc|| count
Thanks
Show charms.
||SBody, Quick Slash, NMG, Strength and GSong.
Or take out NMG for Shaman Stone.
Now for his attacks.
Bait his double slash and spin, dash through him, hit him 2 times, then back out.
When he charges his nail, just jump.
When he's spinning, wall jump and pogo him.
Second phase, when he jumps all over the place and comes at you spinning, either dash away and slash him with a Nail Art or dash away and use a spell.
Or do both.||
Good luck!
||Man Mantis Lords are wrecking me||

||I can defeat first stage easily, but second stage just gets me every time||
11th attempt lets go
Wdym by second stage?
They're doing the same attacks all the time.
||I mean when you fight two instead of one||
like when there's 2
||it overwhelms me||
I see.
||What sbody nmg And gsong?||
Okay, CR7.

I’m french i dont understand sorry
Understandable.
Keep at it.
What did you not understand?
||steady body nail master's glory and grubsong||
Thanks!
trkl
||Steady Body, Nailmaster's Glory and Grubsong.||
Mdrr
Please spoiler tag your post.
||What charms should I use for nightmare grimm?||
Okay sorry
It's fine.
Abbreviations must be spoiler tagged, as well.
Which charms do you have and how many ||notches|| do you have?
||yup when fighting mantis lords, I always get destroyed when they both throw their scythes, so there are like two spinning disks||
||i just always take the hit, any tips how to avoid that?||
if they are on the sides then stay in the middle and jump
if they come to the mid then go to one side and time ur jump
Just stay in the middle of the arena and jump, yeah.
you can also pogo that attack
Or go to the meeting point of the ||2 scythes|| and jump.
Only one missing
And 13
11*
Which is?
Nice!
||The dounle healing||
Ah
Yes.
You said that yesterday.
yea that one is shi
@thick wing
Okay.
Use ||Strength, Quick Slash, Shaman Stone and either GSong and SBody or Spell Twister.||
||steady body could be reaaaally useful with qslash when he does the spikes attack||
||Do I need the grimchild notch?||
yes
||charm*||
yes
Oops!
You're playing the DLC.
How many ||notches|| does it cost?
2
||What do you mean dlc?||
Downloadable Content.
They're added as free updates in HK.
It's okay.
The more you know.
||How do you dodge that attack, when he fires dragons||
Then, since you need ||Grimmchild, use Strength, Shaman Stone and Quick Slash or Strength, Shaman Stone, Spell Twister and either Grubsong or SBody.||
||They're bats.
If I recall correctly, you must jump and shade dash or jump, double jump and shade dash.||
just jump ||dash and double jump||
Or do that.
Holy shit ill kill myself
||I managed to defeat two, but got slain by the third one at the very end||
Literally one hit away
||I am now getting the screen shaking bug after I die to them haha||
wtf
||i died to them, I woke up at the bench and got the achievement||
||and the screen is shaking||
||did the game just give me a pity achievement hahaha||
Yeah actually
i think
||No mantises are attacking me||
||u killed them and died at the same time||
lol
ye thats the reward
||so you can go check the room which was guarded by a mantis ||
||who closed the door||
||yeah that room is now open||
Hahaha this so weird
I was here imagining how I finally managed to defeat em
In an honorable way
nice
And this happens
take the rewards then
there is ||3 chests||
yeaah
yep
well this certainly was
if u need any help tag me
one of the boss battles of all time
Thank you!
it's a very cool bossfight
all coordinated and stuff
no problem
Oh yeah definitely
I just got a bit of an anticlimatic ending 😅
||dying and killing them at the same time||
that happens lol
sent you in the dms
get more charms imo
maybe give a visit to that ||guy in fungal wastes||
he has some good charms
||Quick slash steady body mark of pride grub song||
Hey guys, do I have to beat ||The Mantis Lords|| to progress or are they optional?
you should
but do I have to?
optional
no
they're optional
you will feend to fight them for the ||pantheon||
so I've spent the past hour fighting an optional boss 🫠
fight*
how do you spend so much time
only 16% of the game completion is required to finish the game
nope
there are tips in the earlier messages if u want
time for another walkthrough lol
||okay elder hu is officially more annoying than the mantis lords||
||how the hell am i supposed to predict these movements||
Does the game have multiple endings?
yes
Tags!
Thanks
(Thanks)
np
so wait how do I progress without killing the ||mantis lords||
||where do i find Failed Champ and White Defender|| i tried ||dream nail but it didnt work||
you go to the ||city of tears||
its one of the places where you can go
the walk through I was watching needed me to kill the ||mantis lords|| to get there
and when you get the ||lantern you can go to ||deep nest||
i killed them for the charm because i like it and also they open up a way to an area
yeah but like the ||lords|| are the bane of my existance
they are why I quit this game for like half a year
you can go for double hits when they ||dash down ||
one hit when they ||dash to you||
or two if you can pull it off
and you can heal when they ||throw the frisbee||
or idk how you said it
||the bumerang thing||

ok
Tags
why here
||lantern||
HOLY SHIT KRIST LETS FUCKING GO
It's just easier to tag anything gameplay-related than to question whether you should do it every time
Congrats mate! I'm so happy for you 🙂
i will
Alright, now to do that like 3 more times to make sure it wasn't a fluke lol
Get more %?
and dont know what now
try ||on a harder difficulty|| maybe
idk what to do
Great job!
I remember beating ||PV for practice on Attuned and then, I tried Ascended, because I didn't know the difference.
Got my butt handed to me several times, until I was able to beat them and continued my practice on Attuned.||
haha
I, erm, wasn't talking to you
ohh
But I'd suggest getting 112% first
Lots of bosses give %, each charm gives 1%, a few other misc stuff like ||mask shards and vessel fragments, nail upgrades, etc etc||
Either ||ascended or by being overcharmed|| maybe, TKD
||radiant 💀||
does ||pantheon give % too||?
Yes
That's my last one lol
Im practicing for it rn
are the ||brothers the last boss of pantheon 1||
Yes
Play for yourself and find out 🙂
i got to them on my first try and didnt know what they did
also where are the ||last 2 pantheons||?
i wanted to see them too and they were away
You'll find out later
Smh I got my ass handed to me, is he faster or am I just imagining that
Imagination
Yo, I was wondering || if I got out of the city can I go anywhere else or do I have to finish the city? ||
you can leave
Yes you can
there is a ||stag there||
Blah blah blah metroidvania blah blah blah open world etc etc
2 i think
That's how I got out
there are also paths to leave
The || city || is a fucking pain
Imo probably the best progression lies within the ||city||, but there are other ways you can go, but need key items that are out of the way or hard to get
also where did i get ||swim||
I got the map from || corni || and just got out ASAP
You have that from the start
Mind tagging||cornifer||?
i saw randomiser players get it so i didnt know
Id go back if I were you, there's lots to explore
That’s a randomizer option
Why || corni ||?
is randomiser on lumafly?
The rule is anything after dirtmouth, and he doesn't appear till after
Yep
nice
Ahh
But yeah
|| you can get swim from isma though? Or is that another ability||
Please spoiler tag ||City.||
That’s different
Different
another
it looks like champagne to me
Sprite
also
?
Ye
ye
Lol
Lmao
Can you get a|| pale ore anywhere out of city?the nail guy was talking about it the knight are stupidly annoying so I want to get a upgrade before I go back into city ||
Erm, could you send a picture of your inventory , spoiler tagged please?
Yes u def can
Iirc the answer is probably no for now, but I would like to check
Oh I see
If u send ur map also spoilered we can tell u if there is anywhere u can go
Nah my guy is fresh outta ||claw in left city no dd||
Unless he did a crazy skip, or did some of the weirdest routing I doubt he could get anything rn
ahhhh
alr
yeah
u might not be able to ||upgrade nail at all||
Nah it's alright lol, it's good
Wait actually technically he could right? Don't read this btw- ||Tram pass to basin then the cloth one?||
|| I wanted to get the lantern but I spent alot for the bench toll, the stag and the map ||
Hmm, maybe go search for some more of those ||relic things|| if you want some quick money
Or fight some bosses, either work lmao
fight ||mantis lords or massive moss charger|| like ||900 geo both||
Smhhhhhhhhhhhh uncspoilers
That's mainly how I got this much already, I thought of going back in || to sell the journal ( sells for 300 right?) but then I thought about how long the path was and I didn't feel like it ||
no 200
200 but yeah. I know off the top of my head a few spots for where to find some
there are plenty in ||city of tears||
||The mantis lords drop geo?||
you're in for a treat
Did you fight them
and since u got ||claw and dash there is one in greenpath (zoom in the map and screen plz)||
no
No not yet I didn't
Smh go do it rn
then do it
As you wish
Trust me the rewards are worth it
if u need help go back here
Although no BUT, the path their (if thou is skilled enough) you can cycle a bunch of death
When I say worth I mean worth... Like, ||1000 money and one of the best mid game charms in the game||
|| i couldn't find the lever when I was in fungal so I gave up essentially and went to city instead ||
there is no ||lever||?
There is

|| mantis village ||
yes
You gotta do some platforming iirc
ye
Head back there anyways
multiple levers
And do it
|| exactly why I gave up, I'm stupidly bad at platforming 😭 ||
Oh yh btw I beat it for the first time in ||hog||
nice
u have to get better
I'll send some tips lol
"git gud"
yea
gl
||wait until he hears about white palace and path of pain|| dont read this btw

why'd you say it if you don't want em to read it
bcuz its not for them
better to just not say it
its for others
and you should put the disclaimer at the start of the message
i forgor
it's honestly still just better to not say it probably
bruh
Ikr
what a kind man
Can't check it out since I'm in game so I'll look at it later
DW I've got the wall loaded up aswell
Jump
Smh shrue

I would actually reccomend that lol
||radiant||
when do ||pantheons|| start using ||ascended boss arenas||
Only the final one
no
also i just beat ||elder hoe on radiant||
in ||p5||
easy ngl
only arenas
nothing to be proud of
be proud of beating ||elder hoe||
Let him take this win 
The weakness of my own flesh disgusts me
Consult the image I sent a while back
Bruh why y'all shitting on him 😭
i also beat ||mantis lords on radiant||
we advicing him
Exactly what I was trying to do
is that a good achievement

The fact there isn't even a bench nearby
whats that
Anything is good enough
||non nkg grimm||
Well that's better
||normal grimm||
I beat ||mossy on radiant||

relatable
almost as if you get better at the boss

yeh the only hard part was not freaking out whenever he used the ||spikes||
u can ||ddark|| i think
Yeah
Why pirate smh
Smh I got to ||void on ascended||
brb
i stg ||ascended vengeful king|| is harder than ||nkg||
ermm
ive been trying for so long
true
vacation buff real
Ikr
u guys on vacation?
yeh sometimes I pirate but I wouldn't pirate an indie game and if I end up liking the game I buy it anyway
It's more like the "when you have a national holiday and you have the entire day to play hk and get 112% buff"
You got this TKD
Nah I took 3 weeks off from playing hollow knight because the grind got annoying
what is your last precent?
idk lmao
Bruh my controller just fucking died during an attempt
||p4||
rip controller
rip attempt
rip the knight
Quick Q || is there not a bench in the mantis hole???? ||
weird pharsing but no
Damn
Smh I'ma resume attempts in a few hrs
btw i just finished lies of p today
I started playing 2 and a half weeks ago man
guys
bruh i finished in 4 days
||charm build for nkg||
send inventory or you have em all?
all
You beat ||hollow knight|| in 4 days? Without spoilers?
Could go ||strength, shamans, spell twister, and… hmm||
Lemme think
||Quick Focus|| works
Not if ||it’s overworld||
Oh true, then ||nail masters glory works||
Honestly.|| NMG and strength is all u need. Just two. If u r good. But i recommend NMG , strength , sprintmaster, shaman and spell twister ||
||sprintmaster?||
That's 10 
||why sprintmaster gsong or nmg||better
||Sprintmaster to dodge a bit easier. Thats abt it||
I wouldn’t use ||grubsong on any 2 mask boss||
mhm
true
Just go with ||nmg for the one slot||
ok
Just ||NMG and strength. The rest u slap on anything u want||
thanks
When should I go to ||fog canyon||?
Don’t remember ||steady body being very helpful for this fight||
its a no brainer
If you have the ability to get there then go.
What ability do I need?
What do u have?
send inventory
I have
So true
you can go now
do you have the ability you need for ||fog canyon||
||yeah you’ve got ismas, head on in||
yes
The || shade doesn't disappear after a while right? Because I just died to mantis lords and I don't want to go back in that hell hole ||
K tysm
If you die again it will
||for mantis lords specifically though don't worry. You can get the shade without starting the fight||
I know, || my worry is with the mantis people and there isn't even a bench down there 😭 ||
Mhm play safe for them and ||use your spell. They don't have a lot of hp||
hello 
hello
hello 
hello
||I just ran past them all in the first room and killed the first 3 flying ones in the next room going down to the boss area, also there is also a bench but you have to travel to the right of the first room then in the room to the right of that travel down and next to the boiling water is a bench||
tag fail
Two on **each **side 
no u only have 1 in the end
1 on both sides
i see ye
Your talking about the room with the || two mantis || right
sorted cheers
||yes its out the way and a pain to travel back to the boss room but its better than nothing in my opinion||
I'm going back there by || queens || so this Is probably a better route
wait what r yalls talkin bout
||queen station?||
||that is also better but is longer but both work well||
|| was it kings? ||
no
no worries
||the matis lord were the 3rd bosses i thought||
i didnt need to fight them but i did
You should probably tag
Tag
Oh
sorry
This too
All good no need to apologize :)
thank you its just a force of habit of saying sorry
Mantises? Yes
Ikr
||but yeah all im saying is that the mantis lords were tough at first but once you understand the attack pattern and postions when they attack you can easily kill them (one guys described it like a dance and i agree with the rhythm of the attacks and ect)||
its all fun and games intill there a boss in a game (like grounded lol)
i gotta go a sec #
People in the pantheons after a boss the progress is saved, or how does the last pantheon work? and is the latter necessary for 112%?
brb
Yeah but you didn't take into account one thing my stupidity
Tags brother
almost every enemy in the game is real thats why people call the enemies bugs the hollow knight story basically plays off in the ground below us
Yeah I know I was just questioning why the person was confused about mantis bugs
What is the plural ver of mantis
manti?
or mantises
both r correct i think
I thought that but it kinda sounded wrong to me
So probably manti
||you dont wanna know how many times i died on the lords and the boss at soul santuary||
Haven't got to ||soul sanct yet||
MANTES????? MANTIDS????
i thought manti was a thing fr 😭
Sounds stupid
||matis lords come after that they do but you can fight them any time and the ablities you get in the future wont give you an advantage in the fight due to the attacks of the matis lords||
Cover your eyes
😦
pain
Hell
cyaa
Also a reminder
bye 10
watch bro say dont do drugs kids
10?
your username
Don't do drugs
||ah cya soon and feel free to @ me if you need help on the matis lords (im not that far into the game but i know matis)||
It's TSLR though
mf 😭
LMAO ISAGI PREDICT IT
you can both ask me too if ya need ive played tha game fully
yup 😭 😭
thank you ||im currently suffering after the first dreamer i killed||
Suffering?
which one did u get?
Probably the || pale king simp ||
||deep nest one||
Oh he got the || pale king fucker ||
ye
i think thats ||herrah||
thats the name
almost
Wait it's not || Hera????||
||tbh i thought there was gonna be a massive boss fight but there wasnt so i was happy||
They chill
well idk abt the greek gods but in game its ||herrah|| not hera
||idk what killed the people that tricked you to sitting on the bench||
lool
they did drugs
Yeah
||scares me to know tbh||
lolol
They took some glass grade crystal meth i guareente it
||i gotta fight dung defender now||
go for it
||ive watched how to fight him||
a little tip ||sometimes he jumps in the air and becomes a bouncy ball and if u get it right u can just juggle him to death||
D||id they die? I thought they were in disguise. After we sit on the bench. They left their disguises. Idk||
i find it funny that im currently listening to a song that reminds me of hollow knight while talking about it
what song
|| they died because they took glass grade crystal meth or maybe the spider guy got them ||
empire by The Eletric swing cirus (theres an animation video)
noice
im not sure but they were intelligent
its a good song, do you know it?
no :D
its electric swing and the animation video is great
yuh uyh
hello again
i would if you like a mixture of music
oh lol
Yep
also btw i got info for after the ||matis fight if you want it?||
Nah it's ok
ok
I've played this like at the latest time I could
I'm practically spoiled Outta my mind
Everything
yeah i can relate as after i got told alot i just wernt screw it and lernt alot
Honestly thought I won't play the game in this lifetime
I don't have a pc
I found a mobile port
God has blessed me
At the wrong time though
nice
but goodluck tho next time you play the game
