||you push him up??? I spam that one to death and never notice him going up||
yeah
when hes trying to go to the ground
and you just SPAM
and do like 15 nail hits
and dont die
Idk i dont really notice that
acronyms need tags too
||I finished all radiants the other day
I just dodged and killed him in less than 30 seconds because its a boss you want dead asap||
bruh why
Just accept it
so ppl dont ask what it means and possibly get content spoiled
omfg ||i hate gorb||
What???
3 months ago I wondered why that was applicable for very random things
wdym
||gorb's ascended arena|| sucks
For example I typed up ||nw||(standing for ||no wings||). That did need tags, and I was kinda annoyed
But here, this is something which can explain some more:
A few reasons to tag acronyms
- To have a clear line what short forms are allowed and what are not
- To not get people look it up themselves
- To not get people ask here and be told and spoiled by people not knowing the rules
- Once they find out what the acronym stands for, they will understand the context of the messages and get spoiled
I dont even know what that means , but can see someone trying to figure it out or something weird
Anyways its a very very minimal amount of spoilering
ascend with ||grob||
It's just to set a precedent ig, from what I've seen in my 2 years.
Wait are you using ||dashslash?||
For me the only annoying but funny moment is
||when i make gorb ascend above the screen||
i hate ascension
wait
i just realized
||gorb|| is only difficult on ||ascended|| mode
||gorb|| is only difficult when he ||ascends||
ASCEND WITH ||GORB||
i wish you could do bosses with ||bindings||
<@&283547423706447872> untagged message
Yeah
kinda far up at this point ig
But makes ||the ab|| more hard and interesting
@light totem
use tags
thx powdered
talk about "hard and interesting" until you get to final boss and then die
I did that and it felt great anyways
Even with the annoying time it can take to go back
If im good enough then i will win even with that
If not, ||i just go practice the radiant a few more times without charms||
What strat ur using?
try to ||dash to the platform hes on||
but then he TELEPORTS AWAY
Idk i always attack from the side not from below
it makes dodging harder
this boss can go burn in hell im moving on
||when gorb finishes the attack there is no risk for the dashslash hit||
Just be cautious of ||when adds anoter attack not to dash too soon||
always hated em
That explains why its so difficult
Are you on controller?
no
Keyboard?
yes
Try to learn those
Its a pretty important tool
||and you arent beatig any ab without it unless you spend masochistic amounts of times on it||
I only mastered ||gslash and dslash when i beat p5, then for ab i had to learn how to find an use for cyclone||
i ALWAYS accidently release ^ before z
You also use it for the ||troupe lantern of course||
how do i kill ||dung defender||
||poop protector||
||feces fighter||
||waste warrior||
||excrement expert||
||crap combatant||
||manure man||
on ||radiant|| btw
||shit shoveller||
||shit shielder||
||ddark him to get him out of the floor||
||spam him with quick slash strength,be careful when he starts the attack,maybe get a longer nail to attack him safely while he is attacking||
this was the shittiest boss to fight
irony

it was a good fight
but it was full of shit
Lol 
Roma suggesting ||range charms|| š¤Æ
Every charm has a use case
no
||MoP carried me through this game, im not taking it off||
Not like i would do use it,but seems that you can deal tons of damage consistantly this way
No?
||dreamshield�||
mhm I'd actually prefer ||overcharming with mop on dung/white defender||
we dont talk about that one
||joni's blessing?||
||destroys things on mantis lords
Barely useful but still,for something vague like a dchrest dealing damage run||
ya like ||thorns or grimmchild literally do nothing||
||grimmchild has a use case in triggering boss fights||
It what???
So cool
||but spells would just be more effective ||
||grimmchild is cool bc you get to flex that you beat nkg||
no nail or ||spell|| run
They do something
I can't think rn but ||child does have a usecase||
I don't think you can use ||charm name only run|| as a use case for the charm
||then use the minion charms theyāre way more effective ||
no keypresses run
idfk
yeah ||child is in the absrad tas. But thorns...||
cmon, everyone knows ||child|| is to flex that you beat ||nkg||
youād need to press keys to get itā and to leave the room where you get it
and thats its only usecase
Well it is a usecase huh
||dash|| and jump only run??
||you canāt get out of kings pass only by jumping thus dash is unobtainable ||
yeah but if you are given it from start of the game
but thatās not a usecase in the vanilla game
And it deals damage
Also,actually,you can do a skip with it
Well at least most charms have a usecase
it deals less damage ||than you could do with your nail in that time||
that I agree with
also it makes annoying noises
||thorns?||
I'm not saying it's good
Oh i thought ||child||
I like those annoying noises
wait you were talking about ||child?||
let's maybe hop on #hk-general
||STFU grimmchild|| my most beloved mod
Smh missed a word
No,i was talking about ||shield|| all that time,only ||child|| for noises
And no need to imo,i think everything was said now
Or you wanted to hate on charms more?
Not btw,but ping me or dm when the race will start
i forgot where to go to ||save zote|| in ||deepnest||
yeah that can still take a bit 
But I'll ping or dm
top right of that room
oh ok
but this wall is unbreakable from below
You need to go another way around
no other way
I feel like I'll get destroyed idk. Ima have to get used to keyboard for a bit first
i'm stil getting mauled ||during colo 3 and i dont know how i havent beat it yet :( the floorless stage gets me all the time|| any tips?
oh exit the room? ok
do you have all abilities and upgrades so you won't get spoiled?
just use your ||spells||
also ||great slash kills primal aspids in 1 hit||
yeah i have every ||ability and spell||
use that
that needs spoiler tags
moments where ||sly shop|| is actually useful (outside of the ||lantern||)
Use ||nail arts and spells. Try to kill everything immediately after it spawns with a great slash and spells. For the stronger ones you can pogo them. Focus your charm build on spells as well||
You can take your time
I wasn't good last time i tried that
But Iisupose my skill levels are higher now
||sly shop|| needs tags
what was your pb?
isn't he on ||crossroads||?
like ||which boss||
yes. That's why it needs tags. Everything past dirtmouth
I do not remember
It was more than 100h ago,after all
so also tag ||crossroads||
also how hard is ||steel soul mode|| on a scale of (||pantheon||) 1 to 5

ohh sorry
pretty subjective
Depends on how far you'll go
i would say it is not that hard imo
my issue mostly becomes when i use ||strength i can get somewhere against in the floorless stage, but i also rely on healing a lot, and no floor obviously means no healing. i was using soul collector and and shamans and twister but it was still getting me when i ran out of sould||
0 ig
its easier than ||p1||?
very different challenges but ||u can use fragile charms and get lots of masks pretty early, some of the harder fights dont even end the save file, etc||
||depends on how many pantheons you clear, and how carefull u are with what to do first||
||if you full focus upgrades first it's really easy||
||you can save some soul by using great slash instead of spells on enemies wich have lower health||
also im so bad at pogos
probably doesnt help
but for some reason my controller just
doesnt work well for them
hurray
true but the bossfight is cool

anyways time to beat him up at ||kingdom's||
can you get damaged by ||lost kin ghosts|| even with ||defender crest||
only if you move around tho iirc
if you move into them.||
the way the charm works is it creates damaging spots around you, and it creates clouds every x seconds that last y seconds.||
youre safe if you stay within the area of a previous cloud
||collector|| is so relatable
who doesnt go around screaming like a maniac in their house while throwing jars at people
amiright
Donāt forget the bugs tho
what a sleepy fella
So relatable
thats actually the most realistic part of him
bug collectors exist
alright guys how do i do the one ||nosk|| attack where he goes to the middle and spews balls from his chest
are you hollow because you're a knight or are you a knight because you're hollow
neither
||go to the floor and stay next to the middle floor beloe ouhh idk how to explain||
||you arent the hollow knight||
š
im using the flat arena
That's a spoiler i supose
nuh uh
we talking about the game name

And saying that mc in't something called ||"hollow knight"||
Yes this is weird,but better safe than sorry.
im the skibidi knight
anyways how
main karacter isnt
i have everything
im in ||hall of gods||
I made a spelling mistake bruh
Whatver,thank you for adding the spoiler.
also dont new people think || tk is thk|| 
depends if you reached ||crossroads/city of tears||
im aware
but i say new as like
just started the game
its still in ||crossroads||
but the game name is kinda weird ngl
its like if a mario game was called like
bowser
also idk why whenever i hear ||tmg|| i always think "the magic gathering" before ||troupe master grimm|| bc im more used to the mtg acronym
Well there is a seiries of Zelda games
the magic gathering
ummm aktcualhy š¤ āļø (lore and end game spoilers) ||the knight, the player-character IS hollow because the white lady says you are "free of such blemishes" that make the hollow knight (the boss) an impure vessel and unable to contain the radiance.||
its a joke with jujutsu kaisen
ummmmmm AcusaetiusaiuaLY YOU ARENT BC ||STEEL SOUL JINN SAYS "THIS ONE HAS A WILL"||
Wtf i wouldn't think you're a lore nerd
wrong 
Good
would you lose
as in I am a lore nerd, I love lore iirc
||also imagine ruining the fate of your kingdom because you loved your kid too much||
and having it be saved by a kid you abandoned
i think that would be spoilers
!
lose what
yes id lose iirc
!

I would lose to explain lore
hello. my name is || ||. I'm a || || and I love || ||. I'm strugging with || || rn, specifically on || ||. Does anyone here have any tips? The attack im struggling on is the one where he || ||
are you Foxxer because you explain the lore or do you explain the lore because you're Foxxer
_ _
every conversation in hk help
Lol
true
second option
wtf hi š„
AAA AAA AAA AA AAAA AAAA
true
woah
I'm trying to ||radiant PV rn|| it sucks
hello !
This is getting way too off topic.
nice
im trying to || ||
i hate it
XD
iām tryna ||radiant hornet2 but very low equipment lol||
make sure to ||use shadow dash a much as u can, and jump a lot||
wtf gl carrot
Stop the trolling,it's for #sk-discussion .
me when I ||** **||
||every of his attacks can be dodged either by jumping or shadow dashing, his "attack cooldown" is perfect to restore ur shadow dash||
||my strategy is basically "if neither attacking jump away from boss, if boss attacking react accordingly|| I just keep making mistakes
everytime you troll in hk help an angel dies
This channel is for people who want help. Provide it or ask for it,or get out.
shrue roma
thereās gotta be none left at this point then fr

that is ||if you jump, because if u only rely on shade dash u going die and sincerely i would prefer to save shade dash only for his throwing things or if i cant dodge!!||
Thank you N.I have to do some work as a regular here
i have already trolled countless times
It's a mods ping then
i counted it. 4728 trolls
so true
4730 messages of me here are only trolls
||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd7ekeZFcps|| check timing yourself
If you continue i will have every right to
||typically I use shade dash for the sword cone attack, other then that it's a series of pogo's and a ddark on the sword spire attack, does this sound about right?||
Yes,it does imo
So my take on ||PV is this: try to jump over most attacks and get a feel for that because you want to save your shadow dash for if they decide to counter. Since it's not like hornet's and you can't just normal dash away. However, that can be solved by just being less aggressive||
as stated before, ||shadow dash has just enough time to restore itself between attacks||
thats too close to my liking
jumping is safer, not mandatory
I like being aggressive so I jump more :)
I like being aggressive so I die more
relatable
same'
||i just pogo pure vessel to death
This can be advanced with chasing,or slow and steady with 1-2 hits each oppertunity
Sword burst and void tenderils are going down with a combo of wings and shade dash||
rate it out of 10
||what's your nail/spells/charms look like?||
id like to let everyone know that ||vengeful king ascended|| is harder than all of those ||radiants|| combined
all of them
||pick some range charms if you're scared of missing ur hits||
4.5
Only a single hard boss
Also,this is not helping anyone.
||I'm using both||
i know im asking for help
what should i try next
Roma when someone says something that is not related to any kind of help
ayo great job on ||failed champion||!
You can go with easy/early ||bosses and dream warriors||
just do everything on ||attument then everything on ascended then everything on radiant||
thats what i did

Unfortunatelly there aren't any other nerds to keep the chat clean.

im not kidding ||vengeful king ascended|| is harder than doing ||failed champion|| 10 times in a row
hmm then ||let yourself fall and don't be scared of falling into him, if you miss ur hit, you're hitting too early. If you make a collision, you're hitting too late||
||this is also quite a waste of notches||
if you manage to ||hit atleast 1 minion and a vengefly king with shade soul it should be all good||
||my build is strength, qslash, Longnail, and Mop I suck with spells||
I guess whatever works for you
But ||both nail charms is overlill,and even mop isn't that good||
||There was some beetle who seemed like they were dying or something in fungal wastes i think and idk where she is now. Can someone tell me where it is on the map?||
||the one talking to themself?||
||uh the one crying or something yeah?||
In dirtmouth
does anyone have good tips for ||my first steel soul run(I am not doing so well in it tbh)||
quit to main menu at 1 mask
that guy has bugged me for so long that i forgot about him
||if u alrd talked to her, she's in dirmouth like roma said||
thx
wow that is actually useful
||if you didn't talk to them it's bottom right of fungal wastes||
I like nice people,maybe you should come here more often n

(Especially so i won't overstress about stupid people)
surely i become a help regular 
I'll try coming here more often but i make a lot of mistakes so i gotta work on that 2 
@novel panther need anything? you gotta put spoiler tags on all hk content outside of dirtmouth
if you feel like its not morally correct, here are some other tips:
- use ||fragile charms. they are VERY good, especially strength. heart is decent, but not required||
- you can start a fresh file and practice bosses, so do 2 saves at once
?tag spoilers
š¹ Ensure Discordās 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.
š¹ If you have sent an untagged message, you must either edit it to include spoiler tags or delete it.
I'll come here regularly (mostly to ask for help with ||radiant bosses||) lol
||are the no benches near the second hornet fight???||
There is one
there is
there is one at the upper i think
its like right next to it too
Where
||On the way to her it's kinda up to the left||
up
thereās one very close by
to the up left in the room before the path to her
hint: look at the background
its a hidden wall
I think
OH I completely forgot that ||upgrading to unbreakable charms is completely useless that is very good to know||
Bet thanks
You are already being quite helpful

||speaking of hornet2 anyone got tips lol||?
practice
||I feel like part of the reason I keep missing the three swing pogo on pv is that I pogo his swing instead of him||
Shouldn't really matter tbh, as long as you are moving opposite direction of it
||fireball spell can remove her spike balls in one-go. Try staying at the center of the arena, and move when she jumps so you don't get an unfortunate silk aura attack||
||you have dive? Abuse it ig,and focus the stuff she spawns first,but only a half of the arena i think,should be enough||
||no dive lol||
can I see an ss of your ||charms|| rq
carrot what challenge run rahh
mk
What actully kills you the most?
Working around that must be good
Huh?
||no eyes||
Why?
Not hard just annoying
sry for bad quality (switch player)
You don't have any charm options
||heavy blow has to stay btw||
i like mr OH COH WA more
||you have nothing lord||
Why???
my brother in christ
W
get more charms
That's challange
are you doing low%
||why did hornet get so much harder||
part of the challenge
Man
no
In that case those are probably the best set you can get
i feel like ||hornet 1|| and ||hornet 2|| are about the same level of difficulty relative to when you encounter them
like
thanks, ||there is one charm you'll want that's sold by the charm lady in the forgotten crossroads, its called quick focus and it is REALLY useful for this fight||
iāve beaten the game before you donāt have to worry about spoiling me lolll
ah I was so worried about breaking the rules
That's good
youāre good youāre good
better to stay with the rules 
spoilers arent for the person you are talking to
I feel like the attacks are like way quicker and give u less time to react
they are for other people
ofcourse they are
Ohhh
but you are also way quicker and faster to react
So they are
bc you are better
Btw btw
Do i gotts kill ||hornet to get to abyss||?
But i got to hornets 3rd phase 2nd try
i dont know, mAyBe
3rd?
she doesnt have phases
||perhaps i should go get wings||
what
what's the challenge btw? 
trueeeeee
Or not phases
||hornet has a third phase?||
?
It won't be very helpful i think
thats not dependant on HP
||any tips on pv's teleport above sword spire attack? If I'm not already out of the way I don't react in time and die every time lol||
||just hornet2 hitless, but also i kinda sorta donāt have very much||
its on how many hits you get
theyre probably better for ||spike maneuverfing|| tbh
Wdym
those are called stutters
what about the ||heavyblow||
almost all bosses have them
So what attack kills you the most?
||heavyblow|| is shit btw
thatās dependent on hits, not on hp
||only āphaseā of hornet2 is when she adds new attacks, bout a third way through i think||
well my strats were ||stacking up on nail upgrades and using quick focus to heal as much as possible on her downtimes, while using quick slash to hit her as much as possible(not efficient because it took me a week to beat her my first time lol)||
that is why it is on 
||soul pillar? just look up when he finishes an attack, dash in any direction and use descending dark||
Whenever|| she goes in the sky i think shes doing a dash attack so i dodge into her but she does that circle attack||
just watch her
You can just walk out of it
Ik but
No ||dash or ddark||
specifically ||heavy blow|| as part of the challenge 
Shit charm builds are in abundance iirc
If i got the attack right tho
indeed
itās on for the entire run lol
||and also no nail upgrades :3||
I personally do a small hop
||the problem is once he's above me I don't react fast enough, it seems inconsistent too cause sometimes he's directly above while sometimes he's slightly to the side.||
but like... pwatice & muscmem
||ddark is cool to get some extra damages and not worrying abt getting hit by the big pillar hitbox at the base, but yeah u can walk out of it||
oh man, all the consolers doing challenge runs
i gotta pick up my ||n0ws godhome|| run iirc
is fun
Maybe someone else handle that
That's a kinda stupid but ||base pv|| is ACTUALLY too slow for me
when u get more consitent at it i also think it's definitely slower true
Yeah but it's mostly up to the insane speed buff i got used to when jumped on ||pale prince||
And got good at it
is ||collectors|| theme called "indecisive battle"
If i had a third hand i could drink tea while fighting ||pv|| lol
I cant mod the game lol
same lol
Sad lol
true
very true
tbh getting hk on pc atm feels just a little bit bald
gotta finish up some stuff
dont get hk on pc just for mods
if you want mods go play celeste
true 
||it's been like an hour and a half of me trying to radiant pv ;-;||
dont worry ive spent longer
gotta get used to it taking a while
relatable lol, i kind of suck at regular ||nkg|| now because i got used to x2 speed ||nkg||. It's like ||absrad and regular radiance||
tf
Is x2 speed ||nkg harder than the absolute inferno?||
you'll get it soon, just keep grinding! 
||radiant abs inferno?||
I've made it to ||third phase|| several times keep dying tho
Uh no, normal
||do a full jump on top,or a little ahead of him on the attack,this way you must be able to get it||
Did you meant ||radiant x2?||
The pogo
if the whole fight is x2 speed, no. If only ||the boss is faster, yes||
been there done that iirc
||how is nkg at x2 gamespeed harder than just nkg at x2?||
Wich mod do you use for the latter?
debugmod
You can speed up bosses instead of the whole game?
no
As a gfjvwgai
It's been the ||missed pogo the last three deaths ;-;||
it gives ||nkg infinite health and as u do damage he gets progressively faster||
For the ||void tendrils attack?||
||maybe you can try adding a double jump in||
||the whole nkg fight at x2 is a bit harder but doesn't get a significant difficulty boost. Only the boss being faster reduces ur reaction-time window, 2 different fight rythms||
||Double jump feels clunky in fights||
i love how ||great slash|| is so shit that the boss centered around it doesnt even have it as the main gimmick
Oh man...
what
||ok ima go get dwielder||
im gonna record this rq see if I can tell where I'm messing up at a second glance
I wonder if I should finally switch to using hollow knight mods now that ||Ive gotten all the endings(except the last two)||(and sry if I was so supposed to type this in modding help)
Tag the message
LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
which part tho
I DID IT I BEAT ||ABSRAD||
||endings||
||multiple endings||
||multiple endings||
alright
Ok I think I see where I'm messing up
Duo moment
im so snail 
Lmao two perspectives:
lmfao
Most mods are more difficulty stuff
I reccomend finishing almost everything
Unless you mean mods like multiplayer or something else that arent challenging
Rando is a FIRE mod.
surely ||atomicrad|| too
what abt randomizer, should I get it now or later on?
||when he teleports I for some reason turn around, every time, without fail. It's like I think it's an attack of some kind||
Wtf most supportive user of the server:
(Thank you
)
Idk i havent tried randos yet
Im more into bossfights stuff currently than into metroidvania
oh
Randomaizer is awesome if you've beaten everything
I have zero idea how to counteract this however
Guess I just gotta pray lol
Good luck!
I did but i want to beat everyeverything
Ohh that will take forever
Ok, most of everyeverything
I wanna do a true completion of the game
All ||radiant|| bosses
All ||pantheons glowing bindings||
Oh thats what i have left
goodluck on that, if you manage to, flex it by putting it on your discord name
|||overcharm||
If you want to(i mostly didn't)
That's an only general advice
||p5ab|| is waiting for you
Ofcourse i do
I have it on my desc
Should i put on my name?
I do that every time
||i still havent beaten 3 and marmu traumatized me in 2||
yeah everyone no one will really check desc often
And its been a long whike since i tried
Barely fits
The one thing ive done in this game that'd impressive is ||my hog||
||marmu|| is hardest dream warrior other than ||markoth||
you have a hog?
how big
jkjk
i know what you mean
Massive, I could eat for days
Is the only one that had a chance to kill me in ||steel soul||
one time i saw someone that took 50 hours to beat ||hornet 2||
and the next day i saw someone that beat ||p5|| in the same timeframe
and im like
how can there be such a skill gap
How did they even get to there?
You know what I'm getting ||glowing womb||
Bald
ermm what the sigma
worst charm
i dont know
One of the*
||extra damage when I don't use my soul||
Did you forgot
||thorns, heavy blow, hblood||?
Those aren't that bad
I liked it at the start cuz i always forgot to use that
Except ||throrns||
||altough it didnt go well with my narts playstyle cuz lower soul gen||
why does nobody mention ||jonis blessing|| while listing bad charms
also ||hblood|| is good
(for ||WP||
Not only
You just use te better thing
But mostly it's just not worth
||kingsoul(for pop) or grubson+deep focus||
||5 notches isntead of 4 true..||
shrue...
Anyways,N it's your job now
I hop off
The only reason i see to use ||hblood||is || in the first playthorugh going back to the hive to get the grub if you do collector after hive knight||
ok bye roma have a good sleep
I know you can be trusted.
Thank you
||there is no reason why you want more notches there||
Yes you do
Why? ||with only 3 for shaman stone you kill both at the end of pop||
Now add ||quick slash for better pogos and combat||
And even if you dont know that strat it shouldnt be too hard
||3+3+4+1=11||
u can also add ||MoP or longnail to not miss hits on wingsmoulds||
I guess if you dont have enough
I didnt rwally use it so idk
The time difference is just too big for me to care about ||that single notch|| but everyone with what they want
hmm yeah ||1 notch|| won't make that much of a difference
but either way just wait with ||kingsoul + dfocus without grubsong needed||
||have you guys ever staggered pv during swords pillars and then just 2 random ones spring up?||
hkdisc ahh conv i didn't pay attention 
It's fine you deserve a second chance.
Now i really go,i still belive in you
Idk but i have seen someone been hit by ||pv's stagger's headbutt more than once||
why doesnt the knight stagger
Built diff
I was trying to justufy it || as healing removes stagger so you never reach that point but considering you can get like 30+ masks and get repeteadly hit without staggering my theory was broken||
also why doesnt ||soul master|| focus like hes literally the master
Lol
and he cant do the most basic ability
I dont see you ||castig homing projectiles || neither
||he isn't a higher being||
The most basic of their ability cinsidering ||that even the basic flying students can||
||you get the text to learn how to focus after reading the higher being lore tablet||
We just specialized in different stuff
how would a guy who keeps jumping and screaming around like a ADHD kid, be able to ||focus||?
hes not screaming
hes thinking
hmmm
MMM
Hmmm
MMM
no i mean the part after u have smacked him couple of times
he goes nuts
he lost the ||focus|| he never had
damn
chat is this attack real? has never happened to me
Never seen that
wich enemy?
||gorb||
yeah it does after 1 sec i think sometimes
||is it sad that I have been getting consistently further since I put on glowing womb XD||
No
It cant be
Tips for ||Failed Champion Radiant?||
Lol im just watching somebody trying it
its just so stupid
Try to ||dash behind and after first stagger use spells to rush, like ashriek before he starts to slam like crazy the floor||
bro
||First step, knock him down, second step dont let him back up till you want him back up, third step see step 1||
||radiant||
I know
Idk i dont really see them as a big problem so idk how to help
Its been a while since i tried though
||HE SPAM SHOCKWAVES||
Lol
I mean idk if you know but ||you can deflect them by hitting them||
||all my recent experience on him is p5 ab so theres probly a better way to cheese him but what u can do is run to one side if the arena, and if hes far enough away (like 60-65% of the arena maybe) he'll always run and jump at u the exact same way. so u make him do that, spin attack him as he lands, then run to the other side and do it again until it dies||
Another tip is to try and ||stay underneath him and go under him when he jumps cuz the barrels break on his body||
In pain
||radiant pv is finally done||
it gives ||lifeblood in pantheons||
not too useful though
maybe its not that useful but the effort to get it is worth it
the effort is quite a lot, but still gives practice for the bosses so it pays off imo
Im lost and stuck rn, what should i do
There are 3 bosses that i can fight rn but they are too hard and i js wanna explore
Where should i go or look
Rather what || charmsshould i get and where can i find more notches besides that one|| lady
show inventory, charms, and map. also please tag ||notches, since in this context iyoure saying that theres more than 3 and thats considered a spoiler)||
when ppl say map they just mean the one that shows the area names
||soul sanctum has a very good reward, theres also a charm hidden in there before the boss
salubra(the charm lady) has some good charms, most notably quick focus and shaman stone
theres stuff at the marker in crossroads
the marker in peaks is just a transition from the very top
||
this part of ||city|| has some progress
top left of this image
just look at whichever places has these cutoffs and youll find new rooms
Ok
So much pain for so much reward
indeed
I have ||6 bosses left to radiant in my hall of gods||
those are the hard ones
||GPZ, Soul Tyrant, White defender, Markoth, Sly, and Absarad||
||white defender can be done really easily with mark of pride, quick slash, strength, and steady body||
Btw
Really?
?
yes
Is the boss in ||soul sanctum super hard||?
difficulty is subjective
Cuz ive only tried once and i gave up
Maybe
depends on how much you hate the enemies in the area
well u tried once 
but id say its actually easier
||why specifically thus btw||
you can stand outside of the range of his ||ball throw||
I fhcking hate everytning in that place
||the problem for me is I have trouble tracking the balls lol||
I'm not good at tracking several things at once
i would suggest looking up a bit
or just look at exactly whats near your player
||that and also his stationary dung shockwave I can't react to well||
You dont
I used mods to check but probably diesnt affect at all
I'm just bad :/
for the shockwave listen to the audio, also the ||mark of pride|| strategy helps
I'll try
How long wss yalls first playthrough
I'm up to 39 
Still ongoing
it's still going
Dang
maybe a month or two..
Bigass game
and im still not 100% of the way too
I got like 230hrs

Like type it
its an offensive term so I would suggest u refrain from using or mentioning it
It is?
yes
i wouldnt want to no
Itd be less work
And im watching star wars on top screen rn so like
Is it js me but
Hollowknight is lowkey harder than elden ring

I beat ||radiant white defender|| š
||got radiant gpz too, soul tyrant is a monster though||
I'll find out tonight and let you know
I BEAT ||P3||
||I literally had a life with Sly and I beat him with fury of the fallen||
||Any charm reccomendations for Radiant Markoth? I always get him to his second phase then die because I can never get nail hits in and spells arent enough to kill him||
You dont
I checked like 2 hours ago
I had mods on though, but rpobably doesnt affect
idk ||grubberfly elegy||
||nmg, and the spells ones||
Some tips for ||GPZ||?
Could I see your inventory and charms please?
||I just want to beat him about 20 times for golden statue ||
I have all
Only dont have ||colo 3||
I'd argue he's one of the easier bosses once you get the hang of it actually
Well, just let me know what part of him exactly you need advice with and I'll do my best to assist
Okay
Did you try him out before?
You might want to tag ||statue|| here
Hmmm okay so you've beaten him a few times before?
Yep
I'll try to find a wall, hold on
I can wait cause I'm just trying to pass ||p5|| with pets... Again
||Grey Prince Zote|| wall by list node#6479
||Grey Prince Zote is a tricky boss with a lot of mixups and and spawns that can create very hectic, and hard to react to situations. Paying close attention to his tells so you can react properly is a must.||
||Charms:||
||- Mark of Pride (MoP) can help a lot, particularly in giving more time to react to, and more lenient pogos on his sword flail attack, and killing ghosts without getting hit.||
||- Strength with fully upgraded nail allows you to one hit the the Zote ghosts, making them much easier to deal with, especially combined with MoP||
||Nailmasterās Glory can make nail arts a viable option for killing the Zotelings and Zote ghosts as well.||
||- If you heal a particularly large amount, Carefree Melody can be helpful, as each healed mask is another block chance, though there is some RNG involved, and the more damage Zote does the more likely it is to stray from the average. At 5 heals itās 3.136 effective more hp on average, and at 9 itās 4.032 on average. Itās .224 average block chance, meaning hp is multiplied by 1.224 for average effective hp increase, but for easy math in your head, each 9 hp healed is about another 2 effective hp on average.||
||- If youāre a bit trigger happy on dashing, and end up using them too early, Dashmaster can make it easier to dash again and get out of the way.||
||- Having more spells available to invincibility frame through attacks and clear up Zotelings / Zote ghosts can be very useful, so spell builds are also a good option, especially if you donāt plan on taking Mark of Pride.||
||Sword Flail: Be watching for this tell super closely whenever nearby him. It comes out fast. When he does it, jump above him and pogo, but you have to be careful because at any moment he can fall over, spawning shockwaves on both sides, so if you were about to pogo, you may land on him and take contact damage instead. What I do, is hit jump and down attack in that order as fast as possible, that way, if he doesn't fall, you're pogo cancels the jump, and you get your double jump back, but if he does fall and you whiff the down attack, you just double jump away and have time to react. Also make sure to down attack him with at least the maximum reach of the normal nail, not closer, because if he staggers and you're too low he pops up and will hit you with contact damage.||
||Fall over: He can also just fall over right after the tell for sword flail, without even sword flailing, so be ready for that after you jump.||
||Walking: As silly as it is, GPZ will just walk at you sometimes, even pushing you into the wall of the arena. Be ready to shadow dash, or jump over him, but he may jump at the same time so if you do jump over him shadow dash anyway.||
||Jump: When GPZ jumps there are a lot of things he can do.||
||-Jump > Landing: GPZ jumps and lands without hesitation, causing a small shockwave on landing. ||
||-Jump > Sword strike: He jumps up, and at the peak of his jump will air dash towards the knight, then fall with a sword strike in front of him. This strike has a different shockwave than the normal jump. The waves spawn on the sword, rather than his body, and the wave in front is significantly taller.||
||-Jump > Fall through the stage: Instead of landing, GPZ passes through the stage, moving to the ceiling and falling on the player after a moment. The spot he falls targets the player somewhat but also seems to be semi random. He will spawn two large shockwaves on landing.||
||When it comes to the jump, you have to be ready to react to a lot. You can generally dodge a normal jump > land with just your movement, so don't use your dash too early or you may end up not having it after he air dashed towards you. If this happens, you can sometimes walk behind him and still be safe. Try to wait just a split second to see if he is doing a sword strike, and react to it so you can dodge in the proper direction which is behind him usually, but if at a distance you can go in front. It also seems the hitbox is larger closer to the ground so jumping as you move away may help escape the hit.||
||When he falls through the stage the targeting on his landing is very tricky. Sometimes he'll fall in front of you, and sometimes somewhere around you, which is due to it attempting to predict where you will be. You have a few options here. If your invincible dash is available, you can usually just move in a direction and time it right, and even if he falls in the direction you dash you usually get past him with enough time to jump the shockwave. You can also look at the top of the stage, and try to react to where he falls and dodge in the opposite way. He falls slower for a moment at the top of the stage to give you a bit of a longer moment to react, which helps. Having sound up can help as well because from what I can tell his yell as he falls is directional; If he's on the left, you'll hear it in your left ear, and same with the right. The easiest option is to time a down spell, which will use invincibility frames to avoid any kind of reacting.||
the title isnt tagged šØ

||Minion spawn: Zote spawns 1, or a few zotelings. You want to target these Zotelings as early as possible because with them jumping / flying around and GPZ doing his own moves things become hectic quickly. Using an up or neutral spell can kill multiple spawns at once, though you need to do it a little late because the minions are invincible while getting launched by GPZ.||
||Ghost spawn: GPZ spawns a bunch of Zote ghosts that blow up after a short time, or after being hit enough by the player. This move is tough because Zote will continue attacking as they take up space on the screen. You can hit the ghosts a few times for soul, and blow them up without taking damage, even with base nail length, though it is precise; How many hits they can take depends on your damage. You can also wait for Zote to do a move, then quickly react with a down spell, or just use a fireball spell to blow up as many ghosts in a line as you can and free up the stage again.||
||Also worth noting, if youāre on the ground, you can do a down spell faster than normal by jumping then immediately hitting down spell. When you down spell on the ground, the knight jumps up a bit, but that jump is higher (and therefore takes longer) than the tiny jump you can get if you hit jump and down spell in extremely quick succession. This helps with reacting to Zote's moves with down spell, as mentioned in the previous paragraph.||
Ok this is all
@dire sinew

list node has been summoned
i really should revise that lol. handful of things i look back at and wonder why i even wrote it. like ||cfm probly not even worth mentioning||
Oh hi mate!
That wall is a bit excessive, yeah
I had to split it into four parts to fit it in
Well in terms of reducing its length im not sure how much i could do. Explaining the moves and counter strategies in detail just takes a good amount of words lol
What else
any of the classic good charms will work. ||mark of pride, shaman stone, spell twister, quickslash, (unbreakable) strength. going spells isnt a bad idea either, helps with mob clearing. i forget if you can fit like soul eater, shaman stone, and quickslash but if you can it could work||
Remember the 1 handed challenge did you finish that
list
no lol. i kinda lost interest
with ||p5 all bindings|| being the only thing left i particularly care to do in this game i dont have a lot of motiviation to play it. bc tbh ||p5 ab|| is a tedious and stressful grind that i dont find fun anymore
yeah. i should rewrite the charms part of that guide, its not very clear lol
Agree
So, ||shaman stone, qfocus, soul twister|| are good?
If i want i can try pets
i kind of wrote it with the assumption that the reader knows the typical good charms, so i only listed the ones that have special use against that boss, which was a dumb way to write it, looking back
idk if ||quick focus|| will do much good but its not a bad charm by any means so if it helps you go ahead and keep it
||qf doesnt pair well with a spell build||
||how do i get out of city of tears? the way i got in was because of the city crest and now the door there is locked||
Please spoiler tag any ingame content post dirtmouth
Gotta mark post dirtmouth stuff with spoiler tags btw

my bad
Its fine just keep it in mind
Game for exploring so...
Try to relax and just travel
Omg hi ismoil
||i can't even reach the soul master since i keep dying to the things throwing orbs||
im just stuck in there
||U need to kill him||
Or try to find other ways
that's not the only way out
|| i cant reach him so i was thinking of beating the gruz mother so i can buy some charms||
and i can't do that now
Traveling is a good idea for ||city of tears||
||charge great slash. when it makes that little shriek it means its gonna dive, you jump above and release great slash, hitbox is big enough to hit below u and hit it. maybe not fully optimal but its easy at least. when you get enough soul you can shoot a neutral spell at it too||
So just check any ways up
Me too at my first time
So just relax
||great slash||, okay, thanks 
have you found ||cornifer in city||?
yeah
im tryna find a ||stag|| atleast
that's the right way
||Follow the not explored roads with using compass||
Tag ||stag|| please š
aint that from dirtmouth?
Yeah but its not unlocked until after the first visit
you have to explore past dirtmouth to find it

||what are the optimal charms for a spell build?||
||shaman stone, spell twister, soul eater/catcher||
Ought else cuz I've basically alr got all that
||dreamwielder, grubsong|| are pretty good but they're moreso misc
Uhmm... ||Flukenest|| maybe?

I always use ||flukes+shaman||
š¤Æ
Nothing
tag ||p5|| first
Pracctice stuff you struggle with
And use spoiler tags
wat pins
?tag uncspoilers
š¹ 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 havenāt found, for example. These spoilers, though generally good-intentioned, can harm a playerās experience as any other spoiler would. Remember the game is non-linear; Always make sure to know what a player has and where theyāve reached. A simple screenshot of their map and inventory would tell you all you need to know.

Like mods will be pinged if you donāt spoiler messages in this channel
Bro pls delete them š
(They may be doing a ban speedrun actually, better to ignore/ping mods)
Last chance, tag these messages as spoiler or delete them.
sure, dont forget to spoiler tag the images
@grizzled summit Please read the channel rules before posting next time
||seems lthat you are heavily lacking in charms, might want to go around the map and try to find some||
hi cat
honestly i feel like probably looking at earlier areas is a better idea since id say enemies there will be to tanky or hard hitting
how do u tag messeges

Nice!
Was it added now or did we already have it?
It was here before I joined the server. 
I see.
I took a look at all the emojis, but none of them looked to me like a lurking one.
Good to know!

How do I beat the red needle person I cannot mention due to spoiler?
You need to hide spoilers
