Yeah?
im trying too do ||hunters journal|| stuff and I know it isnt required, but I want to kill ||menderbug||, and I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I am at the right location, and feel like I'm doing something wrong, but am doing everything right
ive been trying for some 2 hours now
Nah the % of him appearing is so low...
u mean 2%
hes just rare i guess
but whenever you jump into the ||well make sure you have enough soul||
i do
ive been playing for ages and ive never seen him in person 😭
me toooo
Two times actually
ive never gotten him but my sibling got a different save and saw him twice in 15 mins
🤷
||I saw him once, but I didnt get a chance to kill him, because I was coming from the right side of the room, and not the well||
Well that's some good luck
i was so mad you dont understand /j
the speedrun gets it second friggin try
because of course
|| need help beating hornett ||
||Practice until you learn her attack patterns and go for safe nail hits. Also spam vengeful spirit whenever you can, it's equal to 3 nail strikes at that point in the game||
how many hits does it take to finish

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.

||45 nail strikes or 15 vengeful spirit casts, or a combination of those||
||Practice a bit more, you'll get there :p If you can manage 25 nail strikes & 7 spirits then it's gg||
i get 25 hits in total with spirit and nail
||How many spirits then||
no clue
lul
abt like 4
||spirit(s)|| needs tags 🙀
||12 more nails or 4 more spirits and you win||

i hate having to come back to thing i like doing stuff straight away
FUCK IT IM GOING SLEEP GN POOKIE BEARS

Hi hellp!
Hii pixelcat!
Hey kark
we both died at the same time on the first attempt and bro froze on the second attempt. now i gotta fight this guy the THIRD time.💀
where do u find the ability to go through these types of stuff?
Can you send a screenshot of your map
i have gotten every map
just tell me like the general direction
Its in ||waterways||
ok
Isn’t that a spoiler or nah
It isnt
map aint a spoiler smh we just talked abt this in that place recently
we did mention maps were a common missed non-spoiler
“That place” is crazy
'hel'
I don’t read that whoops

dont worry idk how to read
It isnt a spoiler because its a very common mechanic in games like hk
oh man otso cooking up a plasma rifle or helicopter
Lmaoooo
totally not referenceing tuesday
I was so close with “erm what the sigma”
I love the 15 thousand edge cases, makes talking in here while following the rules so intuitive and easy
totally
It backtracked smh
'come bucket' too didnt quite get it
It made it seem like I won
||we don’t talk about that||
mm
We get to make new rules for silksong so we can learn from the problems of the current system but changing the existing rules for this channel can make it even more confusing and a lot of people are against it so theres not much that can be done
Tradition is hard to be broken in terms of rules in this channel as it seems
One of the problems is that when proposing a new term that should be spoiler tagged (IE charm), no one wants to put in the effort to actually tag it, so the change doesn't happen
Ive seen edge cases be argued about and changed all the time but sure
Even though logically it should be tagged
I can't remember the last time an edge case was changed
just spoiler everything honestly
I dont see why we even have such complicated rules in place, just spoiler anything thats in the game, who cares
|| sly || with || 5 masks || do yall think i will do it?
How well have you practiced in ||hog||
I'll admit that im not and havent been nearly active enough to be able to actually give you examples or whatever, but I can atleast say from personal experience that I find the current ruleset to just be confusing and not worth actually remembering, which I noticed especially when first rejoining the channel
I agree
Not much i have just beat him 3 or 4 times in normal
But that's the problem, people don't want to change it to include everything (or at least more)
Good luck then
Thanks
Otso and I are not the authority on what should be spoiler tagged and not
But why, and whos people lol
Certainly not mods, theres none active
The #help community
Which indeed doesn't include many mods so we can kinda decide on the rules of the channel ourselves
yeah, which id say hasnt worked out well lol
Yep
I would argue that the current ruleset makes this place far more hostile, confusing and hard to navigate for people that arent part of the regulars then it needs to be
I mean it doesn't need to be hostile, just spoiler tag it if you aren't sure
But the rules certainly could be better yeah
The hostility aspect mostly comes from the 15 people screaming( often non helpfully just "tags" ) at you if you dont, unsurprisingly, not understand the rules, but yeah I dont really know how you would like, improve that either
ive been stuck here for a little bit, what area do i need to be in to access this tunnel cause im guessing I have to ||c dash|| through it
I have been pleading for people to stop screaming tags for a long time but when many others do it, it hasn't had much effect
Same with 'unnecessary spoiler'
No one understands what that means unless if you have been here before
yup, oh god unnecessary spoiler is another thing lol, not even the regulars actually completely agree on what it means, how are any new people supposed to
You'll get there later. Don't worry about it for now and explore a different area
aight thanks
In theory it is pretty straightforeward, but the way it's worded by using 2 words it makes it sound like you tagged something that doesn't need to be tagged
Which is obv not what's meant by it
But how is a new person supposed to know
maybe you should move this to hkt methinks
We are both not in hkt I think
I am
Oh okay, I'm not
oh you aren't 
I'll come back eventually
This brings me nicely to another point, whats the offtopic rule here
Ive seen it changed multiple times, heck I see it layed out differently like every time its brought up
By the pins, which is the last I've heard is that minor off topic discussions related to hk are allowed but that's about it
However, the definition of minor depends on the mood of a mod
Same for it needing to be related to hk
yeah its very vaguely worded lol
Personally my opinion is that things like this should be allowed but when someone needs help the offtopic convo stops
Which might be asking too much if there are more than 2 people here
I agree
Thats personally also how I always interpreted the pin message, I always glossed over the "hk discussion" part because theyre not enforcing that anywhere else either, specifically not in the channel thats made for it lmao
I mean the only channel that really has a set discussion topic is lore
Which is pretty well enforced
In actuality, yes, when looking at the channels rules, no
Because the modding discussions are filled by approximately 3 people so offtopic convo is always in a calm nature
Yeah I suppose hk-disc should theoretically also be strictly hk
same ruleset for ss-disc aswell technically, yeah
Its long been overridden ofcourse, you just dont get told that in the rulesets
?tag info offtopic
#sk-discussion is allowed to be off topic due to the game not being out yet, and the amount of times that topics have been exhausted for it. However, if you have a topic that you'd like to discuss, say it and the channel should follow suit.
Which gotta be the leased utilized tag ever
putting rules in tags has to be the most silly thing ever
I would argue that a rule that I cannot easily and directly find next to the other rules doesnt exist, you cant enforce something thats only ever seen by regulars of the channel or on direct questioning becaue its buried somewhere where you will never naturally find it
The pins even speak against the tag
indeed
Lemme just send that there. 
You can see how far it's buried since it hasn't been transfered back to the ?tag without category system
the tags are just a mess anyway
I am very proud to announce I have contributed to that
do we have a category system or not? Im honestly so confused
What's the category system?
In the good old days we didn't have a category system. Then in January the mods decided that it was messy and decided to create categories for the tags. However modding community didn't like that as literally 97% of the tags are modding related, so now we had to use an extra system to get used to, for no good reason. Also the fact that quite a few tags were put in the wrong category
So I made a modmail and we were allowed to create categoryless tags again
I agree with that yeah ,the category system was stupid
But not every tag was transferred back as the ones that aren't used by the modding community were overlooked
so let me guess, we now have both, awesome 
So if you want a category tag transfered back to the normal system you have to ping a mod and they'll create it again
But it's just too much effort and has cluttered the tag system forever
for.. every tag?
Well the most used modding tags were immediatly remade by the modding staff, same for the help tags as Wangha and Ismoil are also help regulars
But for all other tags, yes
So it is completely legitimate for me to basically spam ping mods in regards to tags, very nice 
I mean even modding staff has to ping admins for them to delete tags as because how dyno works if a mod edits a tag created by modding staff, the modding staff can't edit it anymore
If only we would have menderbot in this server (modding server tag bot)
lmao no way, why are tags bound to roles, thats actually hilarious
Because Dyno sucks.
Yeah it's an unfortunate byeffect of dyno
You would have to make the role an administrator in the dyno page for them to allow to edit every tag
Which includes many perms that modding staff shouldn't have (Not that they couldn't be trusted with it but you know)
i think i found out what i needed to do
Wait a sec I can't do spoiler tags
Spoiler tags
On phone
|| on both sides
you can find it
Copy what i sent ig
Ok but that's really far away
🇵🇰
I'm going on PC now
thats even further away
I can't fight ||Grimm||
Wdym by can't?
He's to hard
Skill issue.

Jokes aside, have you fought him enough times or not?
I have fought him alot
Because if not, you can't learn his patterns so fast.
ok what keeps messing you up?
Okay.
What attacks are you struggling with?
i reaaaly want to snail that
The puffer fish
you can just go to one side and play a rhythm game

i think that may be a spoiler for whatever weird reason but idk im not sure
I believe Anika has the record for most snails in a post, but I don't remember how many.

I have seen 11 snails and 2 super snails before
I see.
Super snails?
Super reacts
super react snails
i hate how i need ||grimchild|| to start the ||grimm|| fight
Okay.
Anyone else?
XD

Think she's had more than 11 snails, but I'm not sure.
Nope.
Ah
So like, a moving snail?
#hk-meme message this post has a super boat
THAT was cause of YOU
Hmm
I don't see any difference from the regular boat emoji.
Wdym?
it just has a fancy animation
I see.
It's a canoe🤓
Ye
If you click to see like,what emojo is it you'll get the animation
Nice!
lol
Nobody cares
Yeah, just did that.
I know
33 now btw
That'd why I said it
So, she doesn't have the record for most snails in a post.
Never mind.

🇵🇰

Grev's alt.

Anika

Yep

Anyway, enough snail discussion.
Let's lurk and wait for people to ask for help.

That's me EVERY DAY!

Happens.
is there anything useful in the ||queens gardens|| like a boss or smth
i have beaten ||grimm||

Great job!
Tortured btw
That's true.
I would recommend it
The reward it quite nice
i need it to ||upgrade my nail||
Mhm
hi #hell(p) <3

Hello Mario and nixter
Hi Krist!
Mhm
we do need to rename this to #hk-hell tbh
Yes.
Real
True true
Not rly
should i be defensive or aggressive for ||the hollow knight||
Is ||flukenest|| good for ||pantheons||
if you don't know the boss well being defensive is probably better
not unless you're a speedrunner
thanks
it can be if you use it well

I forgot that I have to use || the elevator || to get back in
You too Gwnj.

When normal people takes damage: (run away from enemy) 
When smart people take damage: (face the enemy or ||boss|| and spam the||nail|| to use 1 sec ||invincibility||)
Do you need mental help?
Huh?
Yes
pehaps
go to somewhere else
imagine taking damage
Why
Also facetanking isnt a good strategy
🤓
that isn't helpful or asking for help
At last that help for newbie to find out they has ||invincibility|| for 1 sec when they take damage 
no it doesnt
It is unrelated to the purpose of this channel
nobody asked for that nor does anyone want it
Wtf bro yes
also facetanking is a bad strategy
It is a Q&A channel, not a general tips/advice channel
Running away is better
Some tips for ||absrad||?
Who chose what's bad strategy?
Pls
what are you stuggling with
What phase and what attack
Your healthbar
||during final phase you can pogo and the orbs despawn||
I know
Refer to phases by name and not by number
Second. This is da hell
I've given the only piece of advice I have, now I'll watch you guys do better 
Nah i do my strategy even on 1 hp
or just spoiler 
what do you defube as second
Stop trolling and shoo
||shade skips|| arent useful in bossfights
hello
im a newbie in hollow knight and have only been playing for like, 2 months or so
im currently trying to beat ||soul tyrant|| and got to the last phase today but died and haven't managed to get back to last phase again which leads me to think that it might've been a fluke
my charm build is ||sprintmaster, mark of pride, shaman and soul catcher ||
all advice and tips would be appreciated
thanks! 😄
well please go have skill issue somewhere else
?tag spoilers
Please edit your message with spoiler tags
Hey just so you know, messages sent here have to be spoiler tagged as to not spoil new players
You can do || on either side of the message to do this
Also why are you using ||dashmaster||
Use (||mark of pride|| and don't use spell but ||shirek||
what should i cover
^worst advice on earth
Anything that appears past the dirtmouth area is considered a spoiler
Never do that
On many platforms
So most of the message tbh
for that one, you want to play passively
is that better?
Dont try to chase
ok thanks
Who's used shade skip bro
Agree
spoilers
You if your tanking damage at 1hp
lol
its a joke. Nobody does ||shade skips|| on bosses bc you cant
Yup, perfect!
oki
You said trolling didn't good and you do it? I beaten ||p5|| with that strategy
you still need to spoiler
ive beaten ||rad absrad|| with my strategy
Why this channel members such toxic
just don't troll smh
||mark of pride|| does absolutely nothing for ||absrad|||
like, nil
It doesnt even do contact damage bruh
Me to, there's many strategy,
Please explain to me what you use ||mark of pride|| for
It make me jump a little less
whats the usecase
wait, you do upslashes?
wow how useful
Oh that explains your problem
Yep
||She:Bow pew pow
Me:Can't dodge her attacks
She:Made many attacks in one second
Me:Dieing||
Pogo is just risky and bad for ||ar||
said nobody ever
Theres more then one viable strategy for bosses people, yall seem to keep forgetting that
true true
It last for me it's risky
but still
When she does the ||laser wall or horizontal spikes||, run to it and dodge it as fast as you can. If you dont, you may get trapped
how is it risky in any way shape or form
it might be hard if you can't ||facedance||
||I need some good charm build...||
When it throws that ||balls||
but at least use normal slashes
just use your bread and butter build
Which people obviously cant
||qslash, strength, shaman, and fill the rest with your choice||
.
mfw turning around (impossible)
Hired, are you aware what channel youre in
yes
This is help, use actually relevant strats please, thank you
Who tf use ||nailart|| for ||ar||
im trying to help the other guy while arguing with this guy
And third. Where u need to climb
are you still trolling
Not that many people? Why did you bring this up
I honestly can't tell
Bruh
It's just hard, not impossible
||You could grab quickslash from kingdom's edge & fragile strength from leg eater. The fragile charms don't break during dream fights and quickslash + strength combined is more than a 2x damage boost. If you wanna use spells you could switch quick slash for shaman stone tho.||
That ones just a matter of practice. When she does the laser onto you, ||dash|| away to dodge it

I just didn't heard that before, maybe it's nice challenge
Avoid ||using claw|| at all costs
||In that time i dash into abyss. Yay||
Nobody brought that challenge up?
im genuinely confused rn
Huh
|||double jump || after
It kills you
Kay, thanks
Agree
I didn't see hk vids and also i didn't got that idea anyway
Yes but nobody brought up ||absrad narts only|| why did you randomly bring it up
When he says just use slashes i thought he means "don't use ||narts||
Normal slashes are slashes that are not up or down
I didn't know that bruh
||then I'm just dieing from first ball she spawn in last phase||
||narts||
Spoiler that
Which one
When that phase starts, immediately do 2 ||shrieks||. That gets her super low
All of them except ||cyclone||
Use ||great and dash slashes in the first phase and don't play too aggressively. Also don't use any soul but save it for the second phase where you can then use it all for shade soul trying to get double hits which should bring his hp pretty low if you do it well||
What's the different between||dashlash|| and ||great slash|| 
Oh my, thank u vry much 
One has more vertical range, one more horizontal range
I think the hitboxes vary slightly
Yeah what hired said
Also one of them costs geo
They do same damage?
Yep
Yep
Wtf?
Yeah ||oro|| is a greedy idiot
why does he need money? Hes living in some random ass area in the middle of nowhere
exactly he could have just charged 10 times ||more for 112%ers||
||Greatslash also has more lingering hitbox frames.
Good for preemptive strikes||
spoiler tags
Can i somehow pogo on ||grim|| when it's in that phase to throw these balls?
yes but it does no damage
Yes you can but I think it's a lot easier to just learn to avoid the attack normally
I know just for escaping damage
worst phrased sentence of the century award
just dodge the balls lol
wait don't take that out of context
Best ||charms|| to get for ||pantheons|| ?
I just suck when ||nkg|| on this phase
||Yea
But the usual strat is to damage tank and spam spells, or dodge while charging a nart & dashslash or greatslash him right when the phase ends||
Get all of them
Actually get 108% before even touching them
Or 107%
Stop trolling 
hypocrisy lol
i have reached 101% with only nail
..why
why
What do you even use soul for
i am the great nailmaster
||Quickslash, fragile/unbreakable strength, mark of pride, steady body, grubsong/nmg
Shaman stone, dream wielder & spell twister can also be good||
heal

Yeah i ||probably got 112 with mostly nail||
He asked what charms were good, smh
Heres my tip.
Start using ||spells|| please for the love of god
But you didn't asked him to sent ||charms pics||
no i am the great ||nail||master
I think? Am I right?
well gn guys have fun helping
Bye
gwnj! 
Nonsenf

eve
just get 108% okay

:)
Is it good for ||absrad||?
Hk community even toxicer that codm community 💀
Also 100 bucks that you dont use ||nail arts||
Lol i made it once
no we arent you just kinda like trolling sometimes
||the first two are good but both nail lengthening charms are pretty useless||
||far from the best but sure||
Not exactly
||MoP and longnail|| do nothing
Use ||shaman|| and then any charms of your choice
||if you use both you can actually reach her without jumping||
you cant unagree ||Codm|| Voice chat is worse
When she is in the lower position
Yes but can't you use ||shaman stone|| for make ||shriks|| more strong?
yeah so worth it
U too

when did i troll
best ||speedrunner|| ||charm|| set?
Aha trolling
thats funny lmao, whats the chance of lower position?
That isnt trollinf
||pantheon speedruns or what exactly?||
yokes on you thats not trolling
What are you speedrunning
Ohh,no i got it ig
You mean "yeah,so worth it (
)"
Just answer the question don't troll, that's even bullying
yeah it was sarcasm 
33 or 50 %
||FotF|| is generally good, but it has a high skill barrier
Gg punctuation
thats 17% difference which is it
all ||bosses|| killed
Is that a category?
I'm just asked but thank u^^
||112% all pantheon bosses I guess||
No idea.
idk
||bro im so bored because i tried godseeker mode glitch then failed and misscilcked on the wrong save file||
Tags
When we have ||0 geo speedruning|| that's normal to have that 
generally if you are talking about speedrunning bosses ||strength, qslash and fury are being used|| It might vary for some bosses tho
can you please spoiler tag this
||fluke when its avaliable||
yeah depends on the patch and the boss tho I think
And ||shamans absolutelly.Unless its parkour every speedrunner uses shamans||
Like that?
Do not ||overcharm||
Yes
they aren't
Thats not || oc ||
Wait am i dumb
Why does your ||spell twister|| look so much better then mine
Yay
No they just have ||more notches because weird mobile version||
Oh 
As a mobile player thats very true
"Little"
Cheating is fine if you don't pretend you did it without cheating
NOT THE ||SPRINTMASTER||!!?
whats a good way to make geo without just looking up all of ||the relics?|| Because I want to get ||unbreakable strength|| but still want to explore naturally outside of that.

||sprintmaster my beloved
||
||can you send an image of your map?||
Its helps in first phase
which areas do you want to see lol?
Well I want to see your map so I won't accidentally tell you about an area that you might not know yet
This is glitch's help
zoomed out so you know what i have (tho last time I played I also got to ||hive and abyss||. so you can count those in
Either way you have something you are not suposed to
Alright there is a pretty good ||geo spot at the top of Kingdom's edge. You'll know what I mean if you have been there||
ah the ||coliseum|| im guessing?
mhm that's pretty efficient. Have you done any of that before?
I dont think so. I dont have any of the achievements for it on steam. Im doing some other stuff first but ill head over there after
with other stuff i mean literally just grabbing ||Shade cloak and abyssal shriek||
How to use modmail?
||yeah they're useful for Colo||
I mean I did just beat ||hornet sentinel|| for the express purpose of being able to grab them
Send a DM to modmail and select the server. I have never done it but it doesn't seem too complicated
Ok
but first I need to grab something else. (||that being quick slash||)
||quick slash|| >>>
That's nice. Altho ||specifically for the colosseum that's not a great option. For everything else it's really helpful tho||
i mean rn im just running this (swap out ||compass and dashmaster for MoP during bosses||)
that's decent
Learning to use ||shaman stone and spells|| has been a massive help. the last and only time i played the game was 4 years ago but I remember struggling on ||hornet sentinel||. this time the fight was over so quickly it was insane
Trully a lost generation
It's been really fun. I never beat the game last time, and I'm finally getting around to content I've never done before. So I'm very excited.
I specifically remember the last 2 bosses I tried fighting (and failed at) were ||traitor lord and watcher knights||
Is it good for ||absrad||?
||absrad|| is my mortal enemy
I hate it with all my heart and soul
Good luck have fun
youre not wrong lol
thats smart
Very large brain

Thanks
||He has Gorb's journal||
Like the ||entry?||
Me too
Nah
Is it a mod?
Like did u see Skurry's video?
Nope
Bet
Understand what
fun boss 
An argument can definitely be made otherwise but yeah sure
I can show it
Ok sure
Or share it on off topic
You're welcome 
I cant beat || lost kin || ;-;
Also theres a charm that helps
its just very awkward with the amount of notches i have (at least for me it is)
||try heart and grubsong/dream wielder||
||oh wait you have the fragile version||
yes
||honestly soul eater is fine yeah||
im doing this to get geo in the first place
uh i have a question, is the godhome and the dlc whatever in vanilla hollow knight
Yeah
it is but can u tag ||godhome|| please?
i dont even know how to spoiler shit
|| on both sides
you gotta use || at the beggining and end of the word
|fart|
Two of them on both sides
||fart||
yeah like that
alright beat it first try. ||only trial of the fool left||
i literally went away and beat ||the radiance|| before ts shit bro
||thats bc radiance is easy as fuck||
i find it easier than like the ||dream version of false knight and the nightmare king ||
Yeah its a super easy boss
im gonna try to beat the ||trial of fools|| later and beat it
''ah finally, im all alone,'' I said to myself as sat in my bedroom at midnight.

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.
bro WHAT
i dont get ||this system||
how is that unnecessary
||they didnt request being spoiled Radiance's name iirc and gives nothing related to the trial they're on||
There's no guarantee that they know who ||radiance|| is
if you use that logic then i wouldnt need to spoil anything since a guy could know nothing about the game no?
can someone in a senseful way tell me why u have to spoiler stuff
read the pins
New players come here and don't want to be spoiled
?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.
yato W?!
Oh that parts more just that you need to do it, yeah pins explains it a bit more

Truly, spoilers are just for when theres more than one convo or new person at a time, uncspoilers is really the point if the channel
how the ||hell|| do i defeat ||the collector he keeps healing somehow||
he no heal
Yeah no boss heal…
He doesn't, why do you think that lol
Someone using mods and being confused lol
i dont use mods
So why did you think they heal ?
he keeps laughing then he heals
P do you know what the word heal means 
||are you talking about when he stuns?||
||no he somehow heals||
u talking bout phase 2?
We are factually telling you that he does not do that, please believe us
||Ive been fighting him for the past 1 hours and i just finally save and quitted||
Regardless in ||collector your focus should be on the minions they spawn, if you one shot them with your nail you should be able to kill most of them when they spawn, if not you will have to rely more heavily on using spells like vengeful spirit or dive to kill them if the screen starts to be overrun||
Don’t try to heal, you don’t have the soul nor the time for that
i spam ||ddark||
there’s many methods to kill it just depends on what u have
the issue can be getting soul
None of this makes any sense
No bosses in hollow knight ||heal, there is no visual to interpret that the boss is healing, they don’t regenerate health when they go in the celling ||
||Dreamnail|| can actually be used to some extent in that fight (stagger but also outside), because soul is so valuable
Hellp moment
i think i found out why he healed
my sister downloaded a mod that heals every boss, i dont know whats the name
Its just called "mod"
Ok so you are using mods
Unlike what you were saying
i didnt know
?
Please try to explain precisely what "your sister" installed or whatever if you want your game to be fixed
This ||feels so pk||
But do that in the modding channels, and not in here
As modding stuff is not for #hk-help
can get some
with extra
and a 
Help ||PV|| is destroying me
uh oh
What attacks do you struggle with?
||Soul pillars||
make sure you aren't ||underneath them when they teleport or jump above you and dash out of the way if necessary. Then to avoid the pillars it helps jumping up since they are smaller at the top||
||you can dive to avoid them||
:cat2:
How can a guy like me get some ||essence|| around here.
I already killed all the ||ghost warriors (I think)|| and I killed ||Failed Champion||
I also did all the weird ||essence trees (I think)||
there are more bosses like ||failed champion ||
I know there is ||white defender and the other broken vessel, but these bosses are kinda hard||
so I tried doing ||flukemarm|| the first time i went to the ||royal waterways|| and got completely destroyed by ||the little minions||. I just came back with ||abyss shriek|| and killed it in like 4 seconds. very cool
yeah i had ||spell twister and shaman stone||. literally just jumped underneath it ||abyss shriek x4|| and it was dead
random question, are ||Hive's root, Queen's Garden's Root, Greenpath Root and Kingdom's Edge Root accessible with my current items: Dash, Mantis Claw, Tram Pass, Vengeful Spirit and Dream Nail?||
im not on ||steel soul btw so i can shade skip if that helps||
I don´t really know. But most likely you can, although i dont remember exactly which ones can you do rn.
Yo did you finally get ||speedrun||?
Yep.
I got all 3 speed based achievements
yay
I'm working on 112% right now.
Is it weird I found ||white defender harder than Lost Kin||
Me too
I think i beat ||lost kin first try with defenders crest||
i was really proud then, then got to ||radiance||
and well, here i still am
Oh boy
I just got ||Awoken dream nail. Oh boy time for path of pain which honestly wasn't too bad||
I would recommend getting the other ||two movement items. I don't know if I should mention them to you coz they might be spoilers||
Same but i think i am stuck on somewhere :/
Just so you know it's not required 
||only white palace is required, not path of pain||
I will do || path of pain || after || % 112 ||
||ugh i suffered thinking it was necesary||
I just need to do one thing 
||it doesnt even give an achievement
i was so disappointed||
X2
For the lore
So little tho just 2 seconds :/
i see, dw i alrd beat the game several times i dont mind spoilers at all
||the cutscene is pretty cute but the disappointing part was i already knew what the cutscene was, i didnt know you wouldnt get an achievement though and i really hoped i'd get one so i was just like
||
its only like 2 mins of platforming
2 minutes? 
i played the game for a bit a year ago and im getting back into it with the goal of getting all the achievements and im not sure wether i should play on keyboard or controller
controller is highly recommended for hk
with the d pad or stick?
It really depends, if you can get a good keybind set keyboard, but controller is also really good
stick works best i think
As long as you don't use mouse you'll be fine
Are you good at platforming with the d pad? Some people like it because its a bit more prescise but its more difficult to do various imputs at once
PLEASE
and a scroll wheel
Dont let zal hear that
Or do, maybe he will change his ways
Its a 2d game, unless your mouse has several side buttons like 4 or sum youll either have your keyboard hand very crowded or youll have to constantly switch between mouse and key
What if you got one of those mmo mouses with half a keyboard glued onto them
Its just really inconvinient and needlessly complicated
I don't think the overlap between people that have such a mouse and hk players is very high
Stereotypically
Wheres the data scientists at someone draw us a graph
are ||whispering roots|| necessary for ||112%?|| i completely forgot
No
ok tyy
But wouldnt it be better to get it if you want || 2400 essence ||
||You can get 2400 without doing the trees||
It may not be faster to skip them all
Oh okay
I just did all the things that gave || essence || so i dont know :/
I hate || P4 || so much
|| lost kin || and || white defender || are currently
What ||charms do you use||
anyway
Keyboard>controller emulator
|| Strength qslash heart shaman ||
That sounds a lot like an opinion stated as a fact
do you just have a chalkboard?
I should get a chalkboard
Is there a specific attack of ||lost kin|| that you struggle with
A mood to sum up
Yeah and that chalkboard sounds a lot like an opinion too
i recommend replacing ||heart|| with ||twister||
Those || orange things || and his || fake jumps ||
I dont want to replace || heart || || extra masks || comes in clutch most of the battles
wym ||fake jumps||
i dont remember that being a thing
Kill the ||ghosts as soon as you can, but don’t take your eyes off the boss. Stay as far from the boss as you can- be in a corner when possible. If he does a tiny height jump, dash under him and upswing as he passes by. Also, don’t be next to him as he lands from a dash- he will swing at you. And his big jumps- stand RIGHT next to him, the goo won’t hit you and you can get some hits on. ||
Thanks
theres a really stupid strategy for ||lost kin|| where you just use ||dcrest||
This is somewhat more difficult, but you can fire ||shade souls. For example, if you are on the left side of the arena and he dashes toward you, you can jump over him and fireball as he is moving away from the fireball. This can cause the hitbox of the fireball to hit the boss twice for double damage||
i used it on my ||radiant|| clear
Oh yeah, ||defenders crest can kill the ghosts instantly but I don’t like it because the ghosts are good soul generators ||
Well it would be useless for the other bosses mostly?
Oh fuck yes
It’s F tier
yea but the other bosses in that set arent too bad
wait was ||lost kin|| before or after the bench
Before
Its the || second boss in P4 ||
oh then you can use ||dcrest|| to cheese him
and then switch charms in the middle
Hm
Ok and for ||white defender, you want to conserve as much soul as possible when he enters phase 2, so that you can spam spells during his jump-slams. Other than that, he is just a quicker Dung Defender. ||
But wich charm should i take out they are all good
||heart|| imo
There is also the ||juggle strat. When he turns into a ball and bounces around the arena, you can upslash him so that he bounces up and forward, then dash and repeat. Unless you break the juggle, he won’t ever go out of that state. Also he skips the phase 2 behavior if you go over the threshold while juggling.||
||juggling lost kin|| 
but yeah i do that for ||white defender||
Nah speedrunners found it actually loses 0.001 second or 1/33 of a frame

I cant do that one and get hit lol
What do you mean by get hit
it takes a little practice
just spam ||dash||
when the reaches the wall start walking the other way
I cant hold him in the air much
always try to stay a bit ahead of him
Okay imma try now
||Defender's crest will automaticall kill the blobs as soon as they come near you||
This makes the fight a lot easier
My ||pantheon build is usually shaman, strength, mark of pride/quickslash, long nail/twister|| go for a combo build is best
||longnail
||
Actually, I don’t recommend it. It’s a waste of a ||notch, it’s useless for every other boss, and it takes away all the soul you get from the ghosts||
Don’t laugh 
yes but its before the bench
so you can switch it out before the hard boss
It’s basically a ||2 notch mop||
Which boss
||p3 and p4. P3 cuz I’m lazy and p4 cuz I haven’t finished p3||
I’m changing my server name anyway
Oh I thought he was talking about|| dream bosses not pantheon|| my bad
No problem
mfw no ||p3||
do it ||radiant||
to practice it super welll
It’s weird because I beat hard bosses so easily but there will be like one easy or medium boss that I die to every time
lets go man ||ascended pure vessel and I finally beat nkg: My hall of gods||
Looking good
honestly for l||ost kin||, i reccomend just using s||teady body|| and ||dcrest|| then run at him and spam with your nail and tank the damage, then heal while ||hes staggered||
thanks: its sad how I can beat|| ascended PV|| but can't beat a||scended Gorb||

Personally I found ||dream warriors t||he most cancer inducing bosses because of how annoying they are so not surprised tbh
there a lot of ||easy bosses that I can't beat ascended||
no true
||asc xero|| and ||markoth|| are harder than ||nkg ||for me not gonna lie

||asc markoth|| being hard is like the coldest take ever lmao
yeah ikr
||people consider radiant markoth as the 2nd hardest radiant so yeah||
Again not surprised
yeah
||Save your shade cloak for dire situations, don't use it as a standard response to a specific attack. Jumping over and pogo'ing pv is usually safer anyhow. Keep your distance so you don't get surprised by a triple slash||
and tips in general for ||NKG|| cause I beat him twice out of like 50 attempts, so I need to become consistent w him especially for ||p5||
yeah that is a problem, half the time my ||shade cloak isnt ready and I dash into death||
What is after || White defender || in || P4 ||
idfk
A bench
bench
then ||failed champ||
gotchu
Honestly for ||pv ||it's probably the easiest if you send a vid of you attempting it and then I can give tips based on that
not gonna lie i remeber first doing the ||pantheons|| and getting ||p2 before p1||
yeah sure one sec I think I have some
||Because I can tell you again not to use shade cloak so often but well that's not very helpful||
my footage is purely ||shade cloak|| for dodge
u can do that, it might not be the best option tho
||It will mess you up for when tendril happens and triple slash is quite tight with shade cloak||
Do not mention the charm that helps with that
Whats the problem with || tendrils ||
thommie probably means ppl will ||preemptively shade cloak into the tendrils||
unfortunately I have that equipped 
|| triple slash sure but nothing changes on tendrils? ||
that has happened to me a multitude of times
Case in point
no cuase you guess its s||oul daggers|| and d||ash|| into it, eliminating yourself
wait a bit before u ||dash|| then
Yeah because they think its || dagger throw ||, but you wouldnt seriously suggest jump strats for that
Watch me
Thats stupid.
Jump strat || dagger throw || is just bad advice, its completely unreasonable to suggest difficulty wise
this was my first att right after school lmao
shade cloak d||agge||r yes
I mean it's going quite well in the video
true but Im not consistent
Yeah this is totally solid lol
looks like u generally know what to do, u just need to keep trying
Thats just practice honestly
||What for jump strat dagger throw are you thinking off? Just jumping before dashing doesn't make it harder does it||
