Then the other one will be at middle
Also spoiler
||dash slash|| is a spoiler
i have spoiler tagged it
sorry if this isn't the right topic to ask this, but could someone give me tips for the speedrun achievement?
is it possible to ||downward smash|| in te ||dream dimension|| while fighting ||lost kin?||
also best charms to use agaisnt it? anybody know?
you can do it anytime
for some reason cant do it there
have a plan beforehand, also you have a LOT of time compared to an actualy speedrun so dont follow any% nmg runs
you need ||soul||
what cahrms should i use
what do you have
oh thanks i was following a speedrun and i was suffering whit the ||watcher knight|| bossfight whit no upgrades lol
send a spoiler tagged image
average experience, you should get an ||upgraded spell||, those are really strong
now i also have ||hiveblood||
||defenders crest, quick slash, steady body, strength(it doesnt break in dreams), grubsong||
||defenders crest|| instantly kills the spawns because they have 1 health
wait it doesnt breaK?
they dont in specifically ||dream fights because you dont actually die||
there are some exceptions later on but youll be fine by then
thx for the advice, beat it first try
if i try to take the geo back from ||minnibelle the banker ||in the ||pleasure house||, but dont take all of it, when i come back will i still be able to continue to take it?
any help
Hello, could someone tell me what to do after discovering the city of tears?
spoiler

you know celeste
no
heard but never played
i always get soooo close to the fast one and die
that's just how you celeste
wdym?
just keep doing it until you do finish it
why are there so many sawblades 😭
ok
I made this ||Pure Vessel|| guide for a friend like a year ago, maybe you'll find it helpful:
||https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_kXNUY9tVlqcIr-PcqvkLlT3h7xj96ZMLScLfqGAZy0/edit||
(I've noticed that it can be broken in mobile browsers, though)
Nice unnecessary spoiler?
Whats an unnecessary spoiler
?tag in spoiler
No tag in found.
?tag uncspoiler
No tag uncspoiler found.
raah
its not meant to work well cuz mobiles are 
?tag uncspoilers
🔹 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.
i got u nix 
Oh I can’t spell
not u imo
i was confused lol
i think he means Mr man? but like its not totally an uncspoiler cuz difficulty is based of opinon most of the time
mid deathcount
s
i thought you were talking to your doppelganger before i realized the profile pictures were different
Any recommended build for ||Nightmare grimm|| with what i have???
Can u send a pic of ur charms
what do you have? (remember to spoiler tag pic)
never told to spoiler tag smh smh breaking rules
and i was also asking for inv
Smh smh still snail
thats a healthy amount
i was thinking ||Strength, sharp shadow, and shaman||
replace ||shamans with qslash|| and ||sharp shadow with any good charm|| and it would be good
iirc ||qslash|| not great for that boss
||good charm = strength||??
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
or|| Mark of pride||
Mobile Discord???
I called someone by accident I think
Didn’t even tell me who and then it just closes
||soul catcher|| ?? maybe
thats decent
if u use that tho then ||shaman is definitly (i think) better than qslash||
||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||
I would say so too because
although i dont have ||deep dark||
and forgot where to get it
and ill still have to ||find another rock for the nail upgrader||
mm very nice
oh not bad
super ||nail length||
uk u dont lose ur geo in ||this fight||
u dont have to quit out
first time fighting him BTW
yea i can tell
u dont know his attacks
try go for a survivability build to learn his attacks first
maybe
Build for ||traitor lord||?
and try not to panic all over the place
Show charms
remember to spoiler tag
hollow nest instead of trying to get hits in try learn
the image hes gonna send
Oh
Isn’t updated but I got ||gruberfly’s elegy||
for 2 of them ur going too quick for your own good
yeah i wont try to attack him for the next couple battles, then once when i think i got his attacks down ill try
nice gl
Also I assume I can’t get ||salubra’s blessing since I don’t have kingsoul||
nice heart, ur learning them
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||
I’ll give those a try, thanks! Also, I can’t more ||notches from Salubra, right?|| I feel like there’s more I can get but idk 
There is ||another notch, but if you already bought her out look elsewhere||
Surely not a snail…

Yep, just checked and I def got em all. I feel like I can either find them or get them from ||colo 3?||
Snail?
Snail react used to symbolize someone being slow/after someone else answered
Idk which ones you have but there is a list of all of them (spoilers)
You can check the wiki possibly
I just looked it up and I forgot I haven’t fought ||gimm|| yet oof. Tips for him? 
dont panic, flailing around everywhere gets u walking into his attacks i guess
||mostly practice, you can usually punish his attacks with nail arts. “Fire bats” can be jump+dashed over, the uppercut can be dashed away + hits or shadow dashed through, the dive can be pogoed or cycloned (depending on placement), and he does the pufferfish every 25% of hp lost unless you hit him at the beginning where he’ll do it straight away||
@chrome jetty u can use this too^
Ah, good thing I’m a gentlebug who bows 
||well it can’t be cycloned in nkg||
I’m gonna disappear now 🫡
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
I appreciate your help 
I know it's cliche but take it as a dance, first try to learn how to dodge his attack, then you can start to test when you can attack
Probably ||nail|| bc I feel like ||spells|| require a bit more planning, if that makes sense
Gotcha, thanks :3
*performing =/= do better in the fight
Put on ||Sharp Shadow|| it helps wonders for the fight but you do have to be careful with platforms
Mixed build user 👍
I got some of his attacks down, im still just overthinking it
then after the last one u go crazy
||ss user 🇵🇰||
yea i see ur doing much better than 1st try
What do you plan on doing?
general exploration i guess
ok
im going to ||upgrade my nail||, ||get another mask shard||, ||get another vessel fragment||, then ill try again
||is shaman stone good for exploration or should i use soul catcher||
Ur choice
ok
My exploration build is the same as my fighting build
☠️☠️☠️
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.||
Both are very good
||thorns ☠️☠️☠️||
||i dont need gathering swarm since i could farm geo any time||
☠️☠️☠️☠️
Good
I was just trying to find a filler for the last ||notch|| chill 💀
LMAO NO WONDER
||steady body over thorns any day||
||but thorns ☠️☠️☠️||
^
Well duh but I don’t think they r doing that
who knows
I used it on first playthrough I'm a ||shaman quickslash user|| please don't kill me
ok
oh no
WHOOPS
🇵🇰
I FORGOT THIS IS HELP MY BAD
what is dat
MY BAD FORGET ABT IT PLS
na jk i already know
I get that ||thorns|| isn't the best wasn't sure how far in he is and it's a relatively safe ||charm choice|| for early game users and to test the ||charms|| out for personal preference
I nearly choked at the end but that was fun. I assume I gotta beat ||traitor lord|| to reach ||the white lady|| right?
yep
What
Dang
I just hope ||cloth|| can help me
the memories of me trying to beat him still fresh on my mind
||how much damage does thorns do||

Illegal copy of the game which you did not pay for
That stuff is kind of a no-no
Yeah, which is why there is no mod client for pirates.
huh
||Base nail||
I FORGOT ||THORNS|| PLAYS AN ANIMATION IN PLACE OF I-FRAMES 💀
I officially retract my statement and say do ||Sprint, Soul catcher or Longnail||
okey
||it does more than my channeled nail tho cus it takes 2 hits for a husk but one activatone to kill||
I worded it wrong, it does your ||nail damage||👍
But the two others are still better alternatives

How to manually install mods on 1.5.78
- Download the mod (it'll be either a
dllfile or a.zipthat you need to Extract. *Extraction tutorial: * https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/910762350267744276/1135824458041540629/image.png). - Go to your
/Modsfolder and create a folder with the name of the mod. - Note: You can use your installer to Open the Mods Folder
- Move the mod file(s) into the newly created folder.
- Launch the game.
Example of an installed mod:
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.

were they even asking for modding help
idk
they werent...
just it crashed when opening
likely due to it being pirated
why were you talking about mods then...
Where || do i put the delicate flower again||
u used several modding related tags
you havent
its somewhere in ||queens gardens||
look around the top 2 unexplored paths that lead left on ur map 
||Is it near one of the pins or, top / bottom red pin||
close to the top
so top red
Top red and it will lead to a vertical room, middle left transmission ||(it looks like thorns are growing all around it)||
You can also access it though the bottom if you do not have red unlocked yet
just wondering, is there a way to get rid of those ||background spiders in deepnest?|| theyre freaking me out i geniunely think i cant go to that area of the map because im so absolutely terrified of it
or, at least is that part of it required to beat the game?
it is but i think theres a mod to help ppl with arachnophobia
try asking in modding (i think ||backgrouns spiders|| might be a spoiler)
it hints at those things existing
ill spoil it
||Around what place should i be looking for ismas tear? im just kinda stuck, dont spoil it to much pls||
can you send your map?
ehh, either works
||it's in an area below city of tears (not basin)||
yes
several locations
ok
||there's one from sly, one from city, one from basin, and one from edge||
I'm on my first run of hollowknight and about 5 hours in (im pretty slow and casual) but ||there's a section of the map that I swear changed, or had mistaken for some other part of the map. I remember that there was a "fake" stag station somewhere with a bug eating stuff out of the ceiling, and the actual stag station was a few levels below it. Now i can't seem to find that area again||
Photo for reference:
||that is queen's station you're thinking of, which is somewhere else||
||prob kings stag, theres a tall dude eating moss, theres a broken fake station and on real one a level below moss eating dude||
theres no fake one there
||in queens||
||Oooohhh thank you very much yes it was that one exactly, i've seemed to have confused fungal wastes with greenpath, thank you for clarifying that i don't have dementia||
||no, the "bug eating stuff from the ceiling" is only in queen's, and king's is inaccessible to someone in the earlygame||
||i had dash, fireball, and like 27 geo when i got there||
OMG A NEW PERSON WHO CHECKS THE PINS???!!!!
||btw what do i need for that key in basin||
my dumbass can't remember shit bro
My 7th || p5 || death to || markoth || i hate || markoth ||

||It glows when there is a boss in the hall of gods which is new||
||hello i am trying to get great slash for some reason i went there and didnt pickitup the last time so i do have the upper easier acsess road but i cant climb it for some reason now and cant even redo the parkour i need help with at least one of em||
The 'easier route' is only to get back
||and i do have monarch wing||
What are you struggling with in terms of the parkour?
||the first jumps like over the thorns one other thing are not that hard like pogo i can do fine thanks to monarch wings||
||i cant for reason use monarc wings to aid me at those jumps maybe i am just bad at the game||
||You don't need to use wings there, maybe trying to use them messes you up||
should i try to dash ?
sorry and thank you btw /spoiler dont work for me for some reason
that's not the only way, you can also do it ||like this||
the command has to be at the begginning
@covert vale
And can't be used on edits
Oh is that what it does? I genuinely had no idea
||how do i unlock the black pillars at fog canyon||
||go to the bottom of the map, you might find something||
||like anchient basin type bottom off the map ?||
yep
||below that||
ok thank you
||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?||
||can i just go around the black pillars at fog canyon to unlock the map||
||dream nail is far later dont worry about it rn||
||Oh well, I guess there is a way to get it before fighting certain bosses cause I saw every boss had dream nail dialogue but I guess I'm gonna check that on my second run. Thanks ^^||
you can get it before fighting any boss but that requires insane speedrun tricks
and trust me it isnt even worth
I guess it's something to do on subsequent playthroughs :p
yeah
don't bother with it for now
and if you really care about the dialogue, the wiki exists for a reason
||i thought u cant?|| also use spoiler tags
You indeed can not
what do i have to spoiler tag
i didnt mention anything that needs spoiler tagging
||You either need sly or blue lake shade skip access, both require to beat gruzmother||
Yeah
Or file mining
Also deleting the message doesn't delete the ping lol
oh sorry
You can never unping someone 😔
True
||after I defeated the false knight, some shellbug started coming to me so I hit it until I saw it didn't damage me so I followed it until it exited the map
What was it? did i miss something?||
was I supposed to do something with it? what's the point of it
There's no point of it just continue playing the game
It's just showing you that it was a bug
something to do with #hk-lore if you really wanna know more
||"It"? The false Knight? It was a different guy than the guy inside the armor||
Just ignore it don't waste time on it unless you arr interested
hehe okay

||oh I got it, it was his weapon||
||if i have fragile greed on and do a colleseum match, do i get more geo at the end or no?||
no
sad
||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||
rn my || charm build is Sragile Strength , Shaman Stone , Sharp Shadow & Mark Of Pride||
This was by that old man Fiablo
Yeah see ||sharp shadow|| is actually mid for ||pure vessel||
You get more damage
& also why ||nmg||
For ||pantheons|| it's helpful for other bosses ig
the bosses u fight between ||the resting spot|| & ||PV|| are
||faied champ , Markoth , watcher knights & soul tyrant||
any others ?
||I would say Soul Tyrant as well||
mhm
ok ill use this build for rn
It's a bit questionable though so if another build works better then use that
im doing it in ||p4||
Just please, ||don't use Sharp Shadow|| 
so ill practice ||PV with my P4 build||
||cyclone slash|| is actually sort of good if you can land it while theyre waking up
gz
True ||but it's much easier to just main spells||
ofc
I'm pretty sure ||nmg|| is just supposed to act as a filler charm in the build
I don't think there are any other ||one notch charms|| which would be good for ||PV||
Usually it would be something like ||grubsong but against 2 damage bosses it's kinda bad||
||I kept putting a charm that wouldn't fit in because I saw it made different sounds each time and after the fifth time it entered in and now I'm... overcharmed... what the heck did I do?||
mebbe ||dreamwielder|| ?
you can ||surpass your notch capacity, but you take double damage||
if u ||dreamnailed PV|| when hes ||staggered||
only useful in veeeery specific scenarios
||its mama :3||
no its ||ur big brother||
True
kind of a spoiler ig
||can someone tell me where is the bank pls||
||if you are at queens station just go in the upper left corner of it and enter the fog canyon. just further left there it is||
ty
np
how do you kill this fucker
||it's not meant to be killed. It doesn't give a real reward and is just there for protection. If you for some reason still just wanna get rid of it then you can do that by dream nailing every spirit in this room. It's a lot of work and not worth it though||
thx
Also you are "killing" the ||cute spirits||
Well try again ? That attack isn’t particularly hard to dodge, ||jump, double jump and then ddark onto them||
(Also just because I never know, you are trying them in the ||hall of gods ||right ?)
i only get there every 15 attempts so it actually is hard to dodge
Oh god
Practice bosses in the ||hall of gods, do not only do pantheon attempts, that is a terrible terrible way of beating a pantheon ||
i am
i havent even ||beat him attuned after like 30 attempts||
Well which other attacks are you getting hit by then ?
you may wanna spoiler the image
oops
where he ||swings his sword 3 times and alsothe ground spike thing||
imm doing ||the hollow knight|| rn in my play through and yeah those attack sucks
vro doesnt know whats coming
For ||pv I would recommend jumping and pogoing for the triple slash and lunge attack
Dashing through does work but you will often end up in situation in which you want to dash through an attack but your dash is off cooldown ||
i know to jump but i take damage anyway
||the slash is so big||
Yeah that can happen
||current charm setup for the hollow knight, i’m getting cooked rn, any help?||
just try
swap out ||grubsong and sharp shadow for quickslash||
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||
wtf
he just got freaky with me
||layed on his back and jumped across the arena when he staggered bro 😭||
I JUST LOST 3000 GEO BECAUSE I WAS STUPID OMG 😭😭
💔
is there a way to ||upgrade abilities like jumping etc||
figure it out
Happens
Happiness
there are more ||movement items||
then what’s this chat for 😭
i dont want to spoil anything specific
Just ask what he has lol
complaining about bossfights
a sorry my bad
We help here without spoiling you, and if you have a question that doesnt need an answer we often dont give a clear one
Hollow knight is a metroidvania so there is some kinds of abilities or upgrades. I dont want to spoil you by telling specifics
this is not what this place is for. read the pins
We wont let you spoil yourself even if you want to
||this guy just started stabbing himself then i died basically instantly after he just did the jump attack. what the fuck is this fight, why did he just do that, is he stupid?||
Study the lore
Of course, if you want, state it clearly that you want us to spoil you and we can tell the direct answer
It has a reason
yeah i want to know because i saw ||a shiny thing|| i couldn’t reach and idk if i am supposed to have better abilities or just find another way
likely need an ability
||i just got killed by him slamming me down with his big black balls jesus this guy is unhinged||
guys how do i turn off the delay on ||wings||?
Yeah if you cant find another way just come bsck later, either youll find the other path or have something to get there
You dont?
Theres a mod i think
Wdym delay
thanks guys!!
But yeah, you probably wouldn’t have liked to be answered
"Well first you go down 5 rooms, then you beat the boss that protect the entrance to the place which you then explore until you get access to…"

There is a method with like ||pressing nail and wing on the same frame or something||
But tldr you have to deal with it
bro im actually confused
This one?
I swear ive heard of a mod related to something like that
bro what
Yes lift means elevator, one of the words is British English, the other is American English
||uplash||
What's that?
You wack them, up slash them
Yeah lmao
I TOLD YOU IT WAS ||AN ELEVATOR||
Lift
I'm so dumb I didn't realise||the switch is the one above me, not the one on the side||
british people dont talk right
A verticallised way of thansporting matter along an axis
||yesh the one on the side is to call it||
||hit the arrows on the elevator, hold w and hit||
am i stupid or is that what youre talking abuot
That worked lmfao
the use of ||nail just delays the wings to go higher. for instas u just need to quickly jump and active wings||
Womp womp
Ok vro
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||
You gotta learn the rhythm of the fight to know when to jump. It works for me
im about 50 attempts in and i cant ||beat him attuned||
Do you use the QOL mod?
whats that
Because it makes the starting cutscene a lot faster
no
A very useful mod
i got off hollow knight i cant take it anymore 💔
Shortens cutscenes, makes speedrun skips easier and generaly makes for a more enjoyable experience
Remember that ||pv|| is in the top 3 hardest bosses
...along with 2 of the bosses that are considered one of the hardest in videogames in general
oh
I highly doubt that one
well what are the hardest hk bosses
You probably don't want spoilers
Yeah
??
No spoilers young one 👆
ive done the entire game ||besides p4 and p5||
definitely not 'in general'
Quite literally not in general
Looks like you didnt if you dont know
||do u gotta get monarch wings to get up there||
Yeah
why am i supposed to know which ones are the hardest
god damn it
that is subjective
You would if you did them
Cuz everyone thinks they are
Its still very subjective
i literally have every ||hall of gods boss unlocked||
Alright let him finish y'all
Get better
real
Practice
Not useful
read the pins. not the channel for that
generally ||have some space between BV so u can react to what it does and try to use ur spell a lot||
Apart from that just use a lot of ||spells||
whats the closest ||bench|| to him
And try to get ||double hits with fireballs||
Also dont just ||randomly jump unnecessarily, that is likely to getting you hit more often in this fight||
Theres like one in the whole area
The one ||before the spide tunnel||
i dont have whatever that is🔥
ok well are you gonna answer
i also have no idea what that is🔥
||theres a shortcut though so after you pass the tunnel you eont havr to go all the way around from below though if you dont know||
Bruh i thought you meant the ||bench|| lol
||pv is the only boss ive really struggled with||
lmao
Cuz hes hard
Thats the truth
||fireball = vengeful spirit.
a double hit is the spell hitting the boss twice with a single cast. to do this u want to be a little far away from the boss and make sure they arent right beside a wall. the boss will get pushed back into the spells hitbox and get hit again||
Man I forget when you unlock things in the game imma just be queit
Ive practiced him for like 70 attempts and still win only half of the time
oh cool
Also he just comes to u
what should i use
He will go towards u
ok well what are the top 3
since i have no idea whats good
i really wanna know now
i wouldnt say u should necessarily focus on doing this tho. if it happens, it happens. if it doesnt then it isnt a big deal
Thats one of the biggest spoilers
its suck if you spoiled a boss i beat already right
||qslash, def crest, and something else||
||quick slash and eater|| imo
Did you already beat the game?
||hmm they might want def crest for the balloons||
i thought second one was fucking ass
yes ive ||beat the radiance|| 🤦
Yes but it helps in that fight
So thats one of the two
Two hardest? Nah
is the other ||nkg||
No not at all
Depends
☠️
Probably not
A lot of people consider him top 3 hardest
ok thats what i though
U want my opinion? None of those
Closer to 4th place
What? Who considers that
it took me like 20 min to beat ||radiant nkg||
Yeag lol

what should i get
already know what both are
Lol
Yea but others might not…
You should probably just explore and come back later
If you cannot find a way around something just assume you have to come back another time
i explored everything nearby i think but ok imma try to go all the way back to enter a place i didnt
why does bro treat me like i just ||beat false knight||
TRUE
So it probably looks like this:
- ||Absrad||
- ||The radiance||
- ||Pv/nkg||
No ☠️
@civic moss if youre not sure dont say anything
Cuz i wish i could play the game unspoiled myself
||radiance is not top two, that shits easy||
||nkg is the easiest shi of my life||
I didnt
if u have to say "im not sure where youre at in the game, but..." then u might not wanna say it so they dont get spoiled
how am i supposed to know what part of the game hes in
Exactly
is this guy related to that place
no
Nope
Context clues, and if you cannot read those dont say it
||second and one of the only 2 radiant bosses i beat, other was grimm||
he has ||5 masks and like 50 geo. theyre most likely at the start. or ask to see their map||
I mean you found her there
||absrad, pv, nkg, normal rad||
That’s my list
mine is
wait thats actually true but i have ||5 masks|| and im alot later than that guy
let me think hold on
Then ask for their inv?
||Radiance|| below ||nkg||?
yea
Nice
Then you should probably get more
Lmao
fr fr
||I mean nkg/rad can be interchangeable||
I mean everything can be interchangeable
Those don’t rlly matter
No way is ||rad harder than pv||
||Nkg|| was easy for me tbh
Me when subjectivity
Yea exactly
how do you make it so the text is blurred, does it do it automatically or do you have to flag it
where did he go
Exactly what I’m saying

||1. pure vessel 2. grey prince zote in godhome 3. watcher knights||
☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
- ||Zote in colo||
never fought ||absrad so i dont wanna rank it||
||absrad, nkg, normal rad?????||
WHAT
idk if this is the place to discuss ur opinions on the hardest bosses
Yes
😭
at least not for this long
Once again why are we discussing something so highly subjective, in one of the freest games where everybody would have a different experience
Well trust me, it’s too
It probably isnt
||theres no way sly is the great nailsage bro||
Dont tell the mods
Fine ismoil
the mod in chat:
I am the mods, and i am telling yall to shut up
Top spoiler of the game
real


I hope your balloon plushy gets lost in the mail 
WHAR
/j

||tbh im hesitating on using the invincibility glitch simply because PV is a pain in the ass||
No like whar i didnt order no balloon
I swear u did
Nuh uh
which one did u get
its a single player game, do what u want. but idk why u would wanna do a challenge just to ultimately cheat it
most ass boss list ||1. hive knight 2. grey prince zote 3. brooding mawlek||
Invince glitch????

Nah ||gpz on top||

Frfr

why is ||grimm so easy||
you just need practice
just figure out the attacks 1 by 1
so should i use the ||invincibilty glitch|| or not?
yes
Def not
i cant find a single moment in which i can hit him or heal
i can try to help
btw its not very easy to hit him
You can when ||he does the spikes from ground||
||usually just once at the end of each attack||
there are many, if you really struggle we can tell you times to do things, or watching someone else beat a boss can help massively
Esp with ||quick focus||
because ||PV|| is the biggest pain in the arse iv ever fought
just dont heal
should i fight ||mother ||or not
yup
can i touch them after they have alr been shot up
Yeah if u want
Youll have to fight her eventually
nah i just tried him twice and he seems extremely fast
do you want an essay on how to dodge it
Why dony do it now
i dont need one ill be fine
hes actually kinda slow
yeah
ok lemme just k her then
Just dont die lol
he teleports every 2 seconds
2 seconds is a long time
try not to panic
Yeah
Just don't play, then you cant die
and he doesnt
||my soul hunted ||me wth
This plan has no flaws
ok i feel like typing an essay on dodging ||grimm|| so im gonna do it
its supposed to be a bit hard. u can ask for help with it in here. i dont think cheating is the best option, since youll lack the satisfaction. but if u rly want to then u can
Thats what you have to kill
alright forget ||broken vessel|| im doing ||grimm||
|good
Guys after i saved ||bretta|| i found a note from he in ||dirtmouth||, can i find her again?
what ||charms|| should i use
send ss of inventory
those two are totally different difficulty levels
i mean charm inventory
||broken vessel is harder||
Yeah, you'll probably see her eventually
Where ||shamans stone||
should i go from the ||mother way or upper way||
||quick slash + mark of pride then maybe grubsong or smth||
Wdym
spells suck on ||grimm||

no actually
In general
they're pretty good
Yes actually
He needs that
||theres a way on top before mother i can go from there or i can go from the place ive killed mother||
||where is your radiant nkg kill||
Oh and i also didnt save ||zote||, will it change something? Because i heard she ||falls in love with him||
theres multiple points in the fight where you can use them for free damage
actually you probably did but
and ||ddark|| is basically never bad
You can always go back
ive only ||ascended|| him 
are any ||nail arts|| good on ||grimm||
ok bow down to me
people generally say yes
All
||maybe but i dont use them||
real
Depends if you cad dodge stuff while holding a button
im gonna make u an essay
im stuck now
actually
it was an ||overcharmed|| run though
definetly not but that doesnt matter
Yeah it'll change something.
No you arent
theres a really good video on ||grimm fight||
Go ||left||
||i beat radiant nkg with overcharming||
But she'll still be there I'm pretty sure
because i didnt know how
wait do i need to have ||grimmchild|| for ||grimm|| to attack me
oh yeah i forgot about that
||radiant overcharming is a direct buff, ascended overcharming is basically radiant||
i know so i beat ||radiant nkg the hard way||
thats annoying
you beat him ||with overcharming, which is the easy way||
||i beat him without overcharming||
i literally said without
there isnt really a "hard way" to do ||radiant fights||
yeah ig
are you sure
oops
well thats not what i meant to sya
and i can prob ||beat radiant nkg without charms||
in fact im gonna try that
i just died to ||grimm|| after hitting him once
||no way i died to a shielded guy||
seems like u need more upgrades
real
made it past ||second bat transition with no charms radiant||
||do i have to save the worm in sphere||
||stagger is based on hits done and not damage done so charmless you will have more bat transitions than normal||
shit
its still a lot harder to get hits ||without steady body and qslash though||
i basically never use ||sbody|| anyway
