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

Any recommended build for ||Nightmare grimm|| with what i have???

scarlet hull

what do you have? (remember to spoiler tag pic)

chrome jetty

#

and i was also asking for inv

scarlet hull
somber hill
#

thats a healthy amount

chrome jetty
#

i was thinking ||Strength, sharp shadow, and shaman||

somber hill
#

oh no

#

oh man

lean drum
#

replace ||shamans with qslash|| and ||sharp shadow with any good charm|| and it would be good

somber hill
#

iirc ||qslash|| not great for that boss

chrome jetty
#

||good charm = strength||??

delicate falcon
#

True??? ||possibly consider nail lengthening charms or some healing charms, although there are alr a bunch of healing opportunities in the fight||

#

What the hell

chrome jetty
#

or|| Mark of pride||

delicate falcon
#

Mobile Discord???

somber hill
#

hm?

#

avatars wrong?

delicate falcon
#

I called someone by accident I think
Didn’t even tell me who and then it just closes

somber hill
#

wtf

#

or it was the other awy round

somber hill
#

thats decent

#

if u use that tho then ||shaman is definitly (i think) better than qslash||

delicate falcon
#

||if you use charms like spell twister or soul catcher probably go for a spell-leaning build, but catcher is still fine for extra soul-> healing. Imo nail builds are generally slightly better here but you can get in high dps with spells in specific attacks||

chrome jetty
#

although i dont have ||deep dark||

#

and forgot where to get it

#

and ill still have to ||find another rock for the nail upgrader||

somber hill
#

oh not bad

#

super ||nail length||

#

uk u dont lose ur geo in ||this fight||

#

u dont have to quit out

chrome jetty
#

first time fighting him BTW

somber hill
#

yea i can tell

#

u dont know his attacks

#

try go for a survivability build to learn his attacks first

glossy patrol
somber hill

nice gl

glossy patrol

Also I assume I can’t get ||salubra’s blessing since I don’t have kingsoul||

somber hill
#

nice heart, ur learning them

delicate falcon
# glossy patrol Isn’t updated but I got ||gruberfly’s elegy||

You can use something like ||shaman stone strength qslash and a good one notch (like steady body nmg or grubsong), or alternatively equip sharp shadow and work around it (not really recommended lol), you can mostly choose to shadow dash through traitor lords attacks or pogo him, and shriek when he does the jump-dive, he’ll never do the same attack more than two times in a row||

somber hill
#

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

#

the wait for that small wall was worth it

glossy patrol

#

Should I focus more on a ||nail focused build or a charm focused build?|| I’m not very good w ||nail arts||, but I equipped ||nail masters glory|| just in case

What do you plan on doing?

cold onyx

general exploration i guess

somber hill

then the 2 ||movement charms|| if explore ig?

#

makes everything quicker

cold onyx
#

ok

chrome jetty
#

im going to ||upgrade my nail||, ||get another mask shard||, ||get another vessel fragment||, then ill try again

cold onyx
#

||is shaman stone good for exploration or should i use soul catcher||

cold onyx
#

ok

scarlet hull
#

My exploration build is the same as my fighting build

dim tulip
scarlet hull
somber hill
# chrome jetty im going to ||upgrade my nail||, ||get another mask shard||, ||get another vesse...

here are tips on each attack for now *from someone else

||dash uppercut: u can dash through him and try to hit him, or can dash away and hit him too||

||down dash: dash away, then jump and double jump out. punishing this attack is risky, try not to do it, but if you’re confident you can pogo instead of double jump||

||fire pillars: walk. try to bait the final pillar away from him and then abyss shriek if u can or and have lots of soul||

||fire bats: jump then dash through the middle. you CAN heal during this, just do a small circle jump over the first bat then start healing as soon as you hit the floor||

||spikes: self explanatory. don't get hit.||

Creating Additional Game Installs
🔹 1. Create a folder anywhere you like and name it something that indicates what that install if for. (Example: Hollow Knight Modded)

🔹 2. Select all of the contents of your "Hollow Knight" folder (this is the folder that contains hollow_knight.exe), then Copy them, then Paste them into the folder that you created in step 1.

🔹 3. Create a new text document in your new install folder titled steam_appid and in that document copy only the number 367520.
*Note: You should use something simple such as Notepad to create this. If you have file name extensions showing, the name of document should be steam_appid.txt, if you don't you should only see steam_appid.*

Alternatively, you can download a pre-made copy of the file: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879138066961424405/1059931408216358932/steam_appid.txt

🔹 4. Optional: Add this install to Steam as a "Non-Steam Game" so that you can launch it directly through Steam whenever you want.

||Hey there, new player here. So I heard about a "dream nail" that you'll have to grind before facing any boss if you don't wanna miss certain dialogues permanently. I've tried to avoid fighting bosses for now until I find it but it seems I've checked every corner and the only two places I have to continue are blocked by 2 bosses. Gruz Mother and False Knight. How so I get the dream nail without killing these? Should I even worry about this?||

||Pure Vessel wall
Triple Slash attack: Jump and pogo quickly to consistently parry this, then use wings. After that you can go for another nail hit. If you're close to PV when this attack starts, shade dash through him.
Dash attack: Jump and pogo, get another nail hit in.
Parry (blocking): When PV is blocking, don't attack him. If you do, accidentally, shade dash through him. Turning around and dashing away is possible but tough.
Daggers attack: Shade dash through and do one nail hit. Don't jump high because you will get hit after dashing.
Pillars attack: Dash away while PV is above you, then make sure that you are positioned between two pillars. You can also jump to dodge since the hitbox is narrower at the top. If you're good, then you can stay right next to PV and do massive damage, but it's not recommended for first clears.
Focus (circles) attack: Position yourself out of any of the circles that spawn and try getting in some nail hits if possible since pv will be standing still. You can heal once during this attack.
Void Tendrils attack: Do a full jump and double jump then dash to avoid them. Dash towards PV and pogo + ddark for max damage.
Charm Builds: HoG: Strength, Quickslash, Mark of Pride, Steady Body, Grubsong (Not Radiant)
Strength, Quickslash, Shamans, Steady Body, Nailmaster's Glory (Pantheon)
Extra Details: Soul Usage - 1 heal is consistent, 2 are risky when PV is staggered. Focus more on learning PV's attacks, you won't need to heal once you have.
Spells: You can fireball a lot during the focus (circles) attack. Shriek is only good when you are standing close to PV in the pillars attack (again, NOT recommended for first time clears). Ddark is good for extra damage on void tendrils attack and can get you out of some sticky spots, but it's best to learn how to play PV without using panic ddark.
Keep in mind that these strats are only one method. Any method is valid, these are just the "easiest" strats||

You have a few options
||1) be safe, you jump and double jump away
2) the easiest spam, you pogo once on their head than hope that you parry the remaining hits, or that they don’t hit you
3) you follow them, you pogo them once, than move back a bit, to follow their movement, get another pogo on their face, then you move forward again and land||

An easier but slower strat against him is: ||jump away from pv in advance of every attack. Then while you're middair, you just need to decide if you gotta double jump/dash to dodge. Already being in the air saves you like 0.5 seconds at the start of each attack, giving you more time to react||

wild token
#

ll try

#

ok that does not work

You gotta learn the rhythm of the fight to know when to jump. It works for me
