[topaz moth]

O right lol

I forgot about that part

[slow bloom]

“112”

[topaz moth]

The boss is an afterthought in my mind tbh

Don’t need soul when I kill him quickly

[slow bloom]

I think I’ll try it a couple times before deciding

[topaz moth]

Also why do you have ||base nail ||killing him?

Just for fun?

[slow bloom]

So I don’t have to take 2 trips to ||nailsmith||

I’m tryina speedrun

I wanna get sub 2 hours

Any tips?

[violet ocean]

really practice each required boss

and also ||dark rooms||

[slow bloom]

I don’t think the bosses will be hard cause I’m preparing

[neat karma]

Quick reminder theres both a speedrunning channel and server

[slow bloom]

Where

Server?

[neat karma]

#speedrunning and its pins

I can’t find it

[bright sorrel]

thx ismoil

[serene tinsel]

||best charm build for grinding geo?||

[slow bloom]

Greed

[violet ocean]

well, what stage of the game

[simple island]

There isn’t a lot of ||geo related charms
Usually people ask where to grind geo, now with which charms||

[bright sorrel]

remember to use spoiler tags

[serene tinsel]

Late stage. I finished most of the game atp. I’m just trying to get enough ||geo to upgrade fragile strength/heart||

[acoustic sigil]

Use|| colossuem Trial 2||

[serene tinsel]

You can go back and do old ones??

This changes the game for me (no pun intended) I had no idea you could do them again

[violet ocean]

yeah

[acoustic sigil]

Please edit your message with spoiler tags

[serene tinsel]

You are an actual lifesaver and probably saved me 2 hours tysm

[serene tinsel]

You too thank you

[glad iris]

oops mb

[harsh kraken]

Hey guys, I've watched a video on tips about it but I still don't get it, I've tried it at least 200 times, I've only beaten it 4 times on ||Hall of gods, how do I beat pure vessel||

[torn vector]

||Any tips for godtamer?||

[harsh kraken]

Jump and pogo

Also only target the ||beast||

[violet ocean]

||take it slow, dodge everything||

[harsh kraken]

Its js the attacks are unexpected

[violet ocean]

each attack is telegraphed rather heavily

[harsh kraken]

I still suck at it

[violet ocean]

treat it like ||nkg- fast paced and small margin for error||

[harsh kraken]

I've never done ||nkg||

So that doesn't help

[violet ocean]

if it helps you can use survivability stuff like ||steady body or sharp shadow||

[harsh kraken]

I tried ||Sharp shadow||

I still die

[violet ocean]

which attacks do you usually take damage from the most?

[harsh kraken]

Literally all of them

Can't even make it to ||2nd phase||

[violet ocean]

okay
||lunge- jump pogo dash pogo, or jump fireball||
||triple slash- jump pogo slash, or shade dash slash fireball||
||jump- dash away or ddark||
||soul spikes- just go between 2 of them. steady body can help hit pure vessel during this attack, or you can heal a bit if you use quick focus||
||focus- ddark to avoid the hit, or just stand back. You can heal during this too||
||void tendrils- jump, then stall with wings, dash, nail arts, or spelll. If you can, pogo pv||

[harsh kraken]

That's alotta info

So what do I use?

Also I don't use ||spells|| so

[violet ocean]

||ddark is very useful for the iframes, and fireball can get multihits during pv's lunge and triple slash. You should use spells||

[harsh kraken]

Hm

So what do I use

[violet ocean]

if you really want to prioritize living, ||quick focus, steady body, sharp shadow, weaversong, grubsong, shape of unn|| or something

[harsh kraken]

So no ||strength or anything||

[violet ocean]

that'll make it go faster, but if you can't survive then probably not

you could also of course just ||strength, quick slash, shaman stone, spell twister|| or smth like that if you want to kill it faster

[harsh kraken]

I can't survive tho

So ig I'll trust u

Bro I'm speedrunning death at this point

I swear I've done this boss 250 times

[violet ocean]

yeah, i had the same experience the first time around

[torn vector]

Finally beat ||trial of the fool ||

[tropic seal]

congrats!

[torn vector]

I kinda wish you got a reward more than Geo but oh well

[kindred lion]

congrats

[torn vector]

Ty

[violet ocean]

you also get ||the glory of being a fool||

[brave stream]

Any tips on ||NKG||? I've beaten him once, but I'm now trying to practice him for ||Pantheon of Hallownest||, I haven't fought him in a while though so I lost the rhythm of the fight.

[obtuse mist]

||pay attention to where he teleports to react to his attacks better||

[thick wing]

Alright, ||dash in between the bats, moving slowly when the flames are rising, and when he does that dash uppercut stay close and move slightly away when the flames pour down||

[obtuse mist]

||And when he teleports away don’t let your guard down because the spikes will happily humble you||

[brave stream]

Thanks so much! I can't remember what I did last time I beat him haha, but I did remember the ||flames||. That's about it though, so this is helpful

[obtuse mist]

Have fun with one of the best fights in the game

[thick wing]

||Pufferfish phase, there's only two things you need to do. Short jump and long jump. Please do not use wings for that||

[obtuse mist]

Yea

[brave stream]

That's all I remember about it. That it was infuriating when I started and felt impossible, but is extremely satisfying when you get to surviving more than a minute lol

[obtuse mist]

Music also helps

Absolute banger

[brave stream]

||Any reason? I tend to utilize my wings and shade cloak and only usually get hit once, but if there's a better way I'm happy to hear and try it!||

[thick wing]

It messes up your rhythm and makes it a lot harder to dodge, when you can just stay on the edge of the arena and do those jumps. It's really useful for ||radiant nkg||

[obtuse mist]

That messes you up too much. Jumps are usually enough for that and any more can bash right into an attack

[thick wing]

||For the drill where he goes 45 degrees down and then dashes across the arena...just jump and wings. You can do a pogo or ddark if you have soul||

And that's about it honestly

[obtuse mist]

[brave stream]

||text||

[median jewel]

me got to da normal fight

[median jewel]

thx

[obtuse mist]

Picking up on this now but your name…fellow Celeste fan!?

[median jewel]

do you guys have any tips for ||traitor lord||?

[obtuse mist]

||shade cloak abuse. He mostly does 2 attacks and both can be dodged by shade dashing through him||

||when he steps back abruptly he will do the shockwave so hesitate on the dash||

[thick wing]

Always stay close to prevent that stupid orange attack

[brave stream]

Yep! And Celeste is my middle name lol

[obtuse mist]

Ooo

[median jewel]

||i do dat but some times when he does his dash one i do shade cloak to early and hit his hit box||

[obtuse mist]

I wish I had a middle name like that. Then I’d actually care about mine

[brave stream]

haha. I chose it myself, but before I played the game, so it's pure coincidence, contrary to popular belief

[obtuse mist]

Well you do have enough time for it to recharge to use it attack after attack. What also helps me is jumping above him before he attacks just in case I ||dash|| too early I will still go over him

[thick wing]

The whole fight is about learning to time your ||shade cloak|| better. It's a difficult tutorial for later on. So treat it like one and keep practicing

Difficult for most at least. ||If you've practiced using shade cloak a lot it's pretty easy||. If not...well now's your chance!

[median jewel]

||also sometimes im to close to him and get hit by his barrage||

[brave stream]

I remember I did it the cheap way and ||stayed close with sharp shadow and just dashed through him (I think... I think I had it unlocked by then?)||

[thick wing]

With or without ||sharp shadow you're supposed to dash through him||

[brave stream]

idk I may be thinking of a different boss

[obtuse mist]

Well then keep your distance

[median jewel]

||Im ussaly at 3 hearts with sharp shadow before da boss||

[thick wing]

But not too much distance

[brave stream]

||Ah right yeah. I just put sharp shadow on and that's pretty much the only damage I did the whole fight lol. Took forever, but did the job||

[brave stream]

||oof yeah. I remember getting to him on a good amount of health can be tricky||

[thick wing]

I would not recommend using ||sharp shadow|| for this fight

Sure, it does damage. But it comes with the price of displacing you an unhealthy amount.

[brave stream]

I agree with Grev. Like I said here, I did it, but it made it take forever, and made it less fun

[median jewel]

||i have a little bit more den half of da charms and i have 8 notch fragments wat do i use ill tell u if i ahve da charms or not||

[thick wing]

||Shaman Stone, Quick Slash, Spell Twister||

It's so meta but it works

[median jewel]

||how get spell twister||

[thick wing]

Es in ||soul sanctum||

[median jewel]

||ho much notches does it cost again and also whats the easiest way to kill normal grim||

[thick wing]

Easiest way is through regular practice and getting into a rhythm

smh nonsense

actively spreading misinformation to the poor chap have you no shame????????

[median jewel]

the attack wat hits me alot is his ||drill then pucnh thing attack||

[shut sparrow]

smh grev it's not 20 it's 2 🤦‍♂️

[thick wing]

smh nonsense it's not 0 it's 20

[median jewel]

huh

[shut sparrow]

look what you have done

[shut sparrow]

it's 2

[thick wing]

Just jump for the ||drill||

for the ||punch thing just stay close when the flames fall||

[median jewel]

oh yall where talking about notches me didnt see da spoiler

[thick wing]

[median jewel]

[shut sparrow]

I like your profile picture

[median jewel]

ty

it from a imagie i found on google

would u like to da full imagie?

[shut sparrow]

sure, but not in this channel

[median jewel]

wat channel?

[young eagle]

How do I save ||zote|| in ||deepnest||

[shut sparrow]

||leave the room through the exit in the top right, then go left and down to loop around||

[young eagle]

Ok thx

[thick wing]

As they say, what goes up must come down

[vestal ivy]

😮

20

[brave stream]

Thanks for the tips everyone! Finally got back into the rhythm for ||NKG|| and beat the fight in practice with 3 hits. Admittedly I did give myself full soul to start off with, but that's because it's how I come into it in ||P5||

Now to just do it a few more times

[median jewel]

i have a question whats better ||fully upgraded grim child or the one u get for banishing?||

[thick wing]

Both suck but ||the one from banishing||

[median jewel]

k thx

[brave stream]

Been a while since I did this storyline. ||Does banishing mean not fighting NKG? NKG is completing the ritual, right?||

[thick wing]

ye

[brave stream]

Thought so. So personally I would ||go for the worse version anyway. It’s not like the version for banishing is useful, and by completing the ritual you get one of the most fun fights in the game||

[thick wing]

I mean it's not like you'll miss out on it

[next dock]

how do i || beat collector with all bindings ||?

[thick wing]

||The primal aspid collector or regular collector?||

[next dock]

regular

[thick wing]

As someone who has done ||p3ab, yeah just try and focus your attention on one at a time. It takes two hits to kill each one, may sound like a lot but the enemies themselves are limited in both attacking capability and amount||

You can't exactly build up that soul, so ||kill 2 enemies, shriek his ass, rinse and repeat||

It's a bit less efficient than doing 3 hits and then ||shriek||, but it's a lot safer

[shut sparrow]

||definitely use cyclone slash imo. It deals enough damage to oneshot the enemies||

[green stone]

Yes.

[shut sparrow]

yes.

[green stone]

I'll add smth, ||while charging cyclone slash try and stay around the center of the arena so you can hit multiple jars with one cyclone slash, and if you're overwhelmed with enemies shade soul from one of the sides while hitting as many bugs as you can||

[thick wing]

||Narts||

[thin plover]

||narts|| are good if you charge during down time

[ember light]

how to get achievement with ||mister mushroom after going to all locations||

[thick wing]

you beat le game

[ember light]

oh

ty pro

[thin plover]

no prob bob

[green horizon]

||cyclone||

||you can hit multiple enemies and if one shots||

[sterile pollen]

||how to beat trial of fool with these||

wait why cant i sent imagis

[thick wing]

you can

[young eagle]

Is ||the abyss|| late game

[thin plover]

yep

[obtuse mist]

I’d consider it yea

[young eagle]

Ok

[slow bloom]

No

Imo

It’s locked behind only 2 bosses

[thick wing]

Well in standard progression it's locked behind a minimum of 5

[inland moon]

That's not a good measure of if something's lategame

[thick wing]

||Gruz Mother, False Knight, Hornet 1 & 2, Broken Vessel||

Either way you need to account for all the areas one has explored up to that point to truly decide that, not just bosses

[slow bloom]

The second one you can skip so I don’t count

[thick wing]

You still encounter em so it counts

[slow bloom]

Nuh uh

[inland moon]

||NKG|| is locked behind one boss iirc

Still lategame boss

[slow bloom]

Which one?

[thick wing]

Obviously, ||troup master||

And yes the melon is right, ||Emu and I realizes that, Grimm, can in fact, be someone's first boss with the right skips||

[slow bloom]

How tf do you get ||dream nail|| to start it without beating/encountering ||false knight?||

[obtuse mist]

Can’t ||watcher knights|| also be your first boss with skips

[inland moon]

I was thinnking farming geo for ||lantern||

[thick wing]

Blud forgot about ||gruz mother|| skullllllllll

[slow bloom]

Don’t you need ||dream nail to summon Grimm?||

[inland moon]

I haven't played in ages stfu

[thick wing]

no u

[inland moon]

I'm still correct about ||NKG||

||Nail baldur skips fr||

[thick wing]

Well yes for the wrong reason

||Fury Baldur Strats||

[inland moon]

See gg

[slow bloom]

This is up to interpretation so everyone is right if they view it a certen way

[thick wing]

Hey hey there's a fine line between ||nail baldur and fury baldur|| you oversized fruit

[slow bloom]

Nah you lost

[thick wing]

Nah, I'd win

[inland moon]

Just use rando for 5hp ||baldurs|| clearly

[eager kindle]

the balls or him

[inland moon]

Him

It can be difficult

[eager kindle]

Easier said than done

I need something more concrete. More consistent.

[inland moon]

Ok just try to get in hits when he's still and in between throws

||Make sure to dash away when he ground pounds||

||You can also get in a bit of damage when he gets low and goes in the ground||

[eager kindle]

how

[inland moon]

Stay near where he pops up and hit him when he does

also get a second when he goes down if you can

[eager kindle]

Alright

[inland moon]

It gets easier as you practice ofc

Make sure to use ||spells||

sorry i didnt know what im supposed to censor so i just put a spoiler on everything ://

[wispy grail]

||what do I do with the green guy who just jumps around throwing spikes||

[thick wing]

Why you chase him. Find him. Kill him.

[wispy grail]

How long does it take to kill him

[thick wing]

not very long

[wispy grail]

Okay

I just killed him and got the key

||I thought I had to beat the trial of the fool||

[young eagle]

We’re do I go

[bright sorrel]

search around the unexplored places, mainly the top right of the area imo

[young eagle]

Ok I think I just need it to go up lol

Ok yea I got the item thx @bright sorrel

[soft urchin]

DUDEEEE WHAT AM I MISSINGGGG

[thick wing]

Revisit ||Crystal Guardian||

[soft urchin]

[thick wing]

Well clearly you haven't done the ||refight with Crystal Guardian||

[thin plover]

you clearly dont have an air frier

[thick wing]

never

[thin plover]

grev isnt based anymore

[thick wing]

never was

[soft urchin]

i have

||enraged gaurdian|| right

[thick wing]

Correct

[soft urchin]

i did

[thick wing]

Well that doesn't look good, either it didn't save or it's bugged. Relaunch the game and if it doesn't unlock still go back

[young eagle]

What is considered to be the start of mid game

[soft urchin]

depends

[bright sorrel]

the game is a metroidvania, so concepts like that rly dont exist

[young eagle]

Oh yeah true

There’s too many paths to have a real start of mid game I guess

[soft urchin]

ig you could say starting the ||dreamers|| quest is mid to late gam

[young eagle]

Oh so I’m still early game

[soft urchin]

oh also

[bright sorrel]

you can start that with no items or after having most items

[thin plover]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cat-meme-bite-cat-bite-gif-9310113311434746591

[young eagle]

Wait what is the start of the quest getting ||dream nail||

[soft urchin]

oh my god

[bright sorrel]

[young eagle]

Oh

Yeah I guess I am probably mid game

I have done a decent amount of stuff still haven’t gotten and of the big things tho ||like the dreamers||

[slow bloom]

How can I make 250 geo between the start of the game and ||dreamnail ||in any%?

[bright sorrel]

watch speedruns

also the speedrun channel will give better answers than here

[slow bloom]

They don’t need this much geo

It’s just a geo question

Any big geo deposits in ||crossroads?||

[bright sorrel]

||cross roads || needs spoilers

[slow bloom]

Bruh

[bright sorrel]

i dont make the rules

use ||false knight chest|| i think

[slow bloom]

I got that too

I need 650

[bright sorrel]

this is required

[slow bloom]

In total

I only have 315 from the 3 bosses

Would ||mantis lords take too long?||

[bright sorrel]

||sell relics||

[slow bloom]

It’s too out of my way

Oh || grubfather||

[thin plover]

No

[bright sorrel]

maybe. idk what ur doing. if ur just getting the|| 5hr achievement || ur options are pretty open

[slow bloom]

How do I check how much ||grubfather || gives?

[bright sorrel]

the wiki lists all rewards in order

[slow bloom]

I don’t think it has geo values tho

Nvmd

It wouldn’t be enough tho

I guess I just don’t get ||shaman stone ||until later and get every rock along the way

[bright sorrel]

[zealous star]

Hello, i've asked in a couple places but I haven't had any help so I thought I'd try asking here. This is a game bug that im experiencing, so if this is the wrong channel for that my bad.
After I checked|| Cornifer's|| note for the map of the ||Resting Ground|| area, I went to the shop, and it wasn't there. The two new pins were, but the map didn't appear at all. I went back to the area and checked the note a couple more times and it didn't work, nor did restarting the game, my computer, or verifying the game files on steam. Each time there was no area map and ||Iselda|| only said the "you've bought everything" dialogue.
If anyone knows any possible fix for this, please help me, this is my first proper playthrough of the game and it will really annoy me if i'm missing the map for the area. Thanks for the help :)

[scarlet hull]

So just to confirm? Your sure u don’t have the map

[zealous star]

i wasn't aware I said anything spoilery, my bad

Yes 100% I don't have it

[scarlet hull]

Hmmmmm

This one’s hard

[zealous star]

This was yesterday so I'll check again but yeah i dont believe i have it or it's in the shop

[scarlet hull]

If you rlly cannot find a way iirc u can go into the files to give it to urself,

But could u send images of the areas that you searched?

[zealous star]

Sure, gimme a sec

[scarlet hull]

Sorry I gtg but I’ll be back later

I’ll try and find someone else to help

[zealous star]

Thats alright, thank you for the help anyway.

[zealous star]

here's me in the|| resting ground ||checking the note, here it says I don't have a map for the area, and here is me in the shop where it says I can't buy anything else.

[jade sedge]

Have you ever had any mods installed

[zealous star]

Nope

[vestal ivy]

I mean its not going to ruin your playthrough just because you dont have a map. ||resting grounds|| is a relatively small area, so look up the map online, match it to the ||stag|| and move like that

[harsh kraken]

Go to DIRTMOUTH and buy it from him there

[vestal ivy]

He literally said he cant

[harsh kraken]

Get more geo maybe?

[vestal ivy]

They* mb

[vestal ivy]

??????

[zealous star]

I have around 600 which should definitely be enough for a map

[harsh kraken]

Hm

[vestal ivy]

Thats not an issue at all and, yes its enough ||have you gotten every other map except this one?||

Try ||interacting with one of the notes in another area then going to this one again||

[zealous star]

I know, but it's frustrating for me since i rely on the maps a lot, and it will bother me just bc of the way i am but yes I can live without it, I am just seeing if anyone knows a way to fix it

[zealous star]

I haven't gotten all of them, I will potentially try that

[vestal ivy]

That could fix the issue so go ahead ye

[zealous star]

Hopefully it does and hopefully it doesn't result in me missing 2 maps :')

[somber hill]

bruuh

Oh.

[somber hill]

well uh u see

[somber hill]

[somber hill]

[green stone]

Glhf

[gusty turret]

guys where do i go next? ||i got dream nail mothwing crystalheart and mantisclaw (i also explored quite a bit of royal waterways but never got the map fsr)||

[somber hill]

u can try ||go for the dreamers||, explore more areas(pretty much buy the maps for them while ur at it), try find new abilities, backtrack to transitions u couldn't get to before with ur abilities now

[gusty turret]

no clue how to get to any of them, i also saw 1 of them was in ||fog canyon|| but theres literally nothing over there??

[somber hill]

in a normal 1st play through i would say (idk about ur ||spells and other items so i only know for cartain||) u can only get to 1 rn

2 if u have a strong build

[gusty turret]

hold on ill send my inventory

[somber hill]

3 if u like risk exploring

mm

[gusty turret]

||i got an additional soul vessel and mask so 6 masks and 2 soul vessels||

[somber hill]

ooo u have nice ones

[gusty turret]

||ddark|| was hell to get since ||crystal peak|| is the bane of my existance

[somber hill]

if u want to find more ||abilities|| go either ||ancient basin or waterways||, for quick thing u can go to ||howling cliffs or kingdoms edge(the journey is a bit long)|| or u can just go ||for 2/3 of the dreamers||

1 of them u prolly wont be able to find with ur movement items rn

[gusty turret]

||ive already explored a tiny bit of kingdoms edge, killed both of the bosses in waterways + unlocked godhome and i tried like 7 attempts on broken vessel before giving up||

[somber hill]

really? ||is bv that tough for u, ur loadout rn is very peak||

altho in this game 7 isnt that much tbh

ig u just got ||ddark after trying to fight bv||

[gusty turret]

||well i was fighting it like, with only 2 spells xD (i was way too underprepared)||

[gusty turret]

yh

[somber hill]

yea that makes sense

go try again

or just explore

ur the one who's playing the game, not me

[gusty turret]

alr but i forgot how to get to ||basin|| 😭

[somber hill]

did u possibly get ||the stag|| close to it

[gusty turret]

i think so

lemme check map

[somber hill]

mm

[gusty turret]

appears the closest ||stag is in kings station||

[somber hill]

hm

ig just go and see

ull def be able to beat ||bv easily||

[gusty turret]

yeah prob lol

found ||basin|| also if u want i can stream u my journey lol

[somber hill]

itll be rly ez

nah its fine im horrible with map

plus no mic no sound or anything on my side

[gusty turret]

same

[somber hill]

when u get there, there is a ||stag|| over to the right here i think u can get to it but i cant remember

[gusty turret]

||DDARK MY BELOVED||

||got monarch wings||

[simple island]

||Ddark|| is to be beloved

That stuff is bonkers

[somber hill]

mmmm

[gusty turret]

got to ||hidden station and 300 GEO FOR A STAG IS DIABOLICAL||

[somber hill]

its cuz its like... ||hidden|| maybe

[gusty turret]

fair enough but still

how do you expect me to get 300 geo in this economy

[somber hill]

dw its not much after u get late game

geo not spoiler

the geo making increases mid-late game so its not that much

[gusty turret]

also rate the build so far (mostly ||spell||based)

[somber hill]

thats based but i would change it

but go according to how u play

[gusty turret]

lemme guess change ||steady body to grubsong?||

[somber hill]

yea

[gusty turret]

fair enough but i like to use ||steady body on this because:||
||no knockback = more nail hits, more nail hits = more soul||

[somber hill]

mm its rly good synergise wise, but its still solid by itself

cuz its probably like a few % increase

but synergise wise its like 10-20%

[gusty turret]

i was thinking of equipping ||grubsong or defenders crest but i decided steady body would be a bit better||

i can also just get 2 ||3 notch charms and make the build 40% worse yet better xD||

so anyways ||which dreamer should i go for first?||

[somber hill]

lol

up to u, do u like fight or find

[gusty turret]

both

[somber hill]

then all 3 work tbh

but one in ||fog canyon|| needs risk finding

better wait for u to get another item before u go

so do whichever one is closer

[gusty turret]

well rn im stuck in ||basin|| since i rested at the ||hidden station|| bench xD

no clue how ill get out

[somber hill]

maybe like uh ||stag||

or just go back the way u came

[gusty turret]

nvm im out

[somber hill]

noice

[gusty turret]

im at ||kings station rn||

the map says theres smth there but theres no way to get up there???

[somber hill]

hm

[gusty turret]

im in the part that "connects" over there but its locked

[somber hill]

ooh u need to come from the other side

[gusty turret]

yes and i cannot do that

CUZ THERES NOTHING UP THERE

I CLIMBED OVER HERE JUST TO FIND A CEILING

[somber hill]

there is

[shut sparrow]

if you explore the room further you'll find a way

[somber hill]

just some other way

detour it

[gusty turret]

i got to ||watcher knights|| but im at 2 masks and theres no bench

how am i supposed to dodge if 2 of them are rolling differently

||like 1 is bouncing up 1 is going straight||

[thorny token]

Tis probably the hardest boss for casual players

[gusty turret]

||ik about the chandelier strat which i have done but a 2nd one just still gets up even if i dont kill the 1st one||

[thorny token]

Could you send an image of your inventory page?

[gusty turret]

||i have 6 masks and 2 soul vessels||

[thorny token]

Methinks the image isn't tagged

[gusty turret]

it is

[thorny token]

Secondly I'd look for more upgrades before you attempt the boss ||another nail upgrade at the minimum||

And maybe ||more health||

[gusty turret]

k

[thorny token]

Also in the fight, use ||D dark lots||, as it gives invincibility frames which can help in a pinch.

[subtle field]

||I suggest upgrade your vengeful spirit too, makes boss fight more ez||

[thorny token]

Methinks that's a uncspoiler

[subtle field]

It has the name of ||spell||

[gusty turret]

yh was thinking of that too

[thorny token]

You don't need to when you just abuse ||D dark instead, it does more damage ||

[subtle field]

Well can someone help with ||Grimm boss fight||

[thorny token]

Also it's better as you can get between the two and smack them both

[thorny token]

Which attack do you struggle with.

[gusty turret]

||ddark|| on top but i should probably upgrade my ||vengeful|| as well

[subtle field]

||when he becomes a drill and when he dash towards you||

[gusty turret]

iframes is the main reason i use it xD (the damage is great too)

[thorny token]

Just double jump

Or pogo it.

[gusty turret]

chat how do i get ||pale ore for my nail upgrade||

[thorny token]

By finding it.

Which one have you found already?

[gusty turret]

havent found any

[thorny token]

Hmmm. Easiest would probably be ||basin||

[gusty turret]

where is the ore

[thorny token]

||go to where the tram is in basin, then go left from there, there's a passage that goes down. Somewhere there there is a pale ore.||

[gusty turret]

k

found it

now i just gotta get a bit more geo

800 right?

got ||channeled nail||

[wild hollow]

||how do I find this grub?||

[inland moon]

||come in from kingdoms edge||

[wild hollow]

Thanks

Literally the last grub I needed lol

[forest portal]

[forest portal]

ty

[gusty turret]

@forest portal have u gotten ||vengeful spirit? if not head over to ancestral mound next to false knight||

[somber hill]

thats a uncspoiler, they might not know about the ||vengeful||

[somber hill]

[desert sand]

problem is idk where

[somber hill]

u dont have to gothere rn

[desert sand]

oh.

[somber hill]

u can explore other places

if u cant get thru something go explore somehwhere else

[gusty turret]

if ur in ||city of tears|| rn then id probably reccomend going to ||soul sanctum which is around above city of tears|| @desert sand

[somber hill]

pretty much how u play games like this

[somber hill]

next time u can ask for map check (ik ||they propbably know abt souls snctum cuz its sub area in CoT but just in case for next time yk||)

ur doing good at helping tho

[desert sand]

so i just gotta go up got it

[somber hill]

if u want more direct help u could possibly send map and inv but go explore and see for urself

[gusty turret]

pretty much, yeah
also try to get an ||elegant key from sly|| 🤔

[somber hill]

we are not playing for you, u play for yourself

[somber hill]

pls think before send

🙏

[gusty turret]

crazy

[desert sand]

nvm

[gusty turret]

wrong way, have u found ||cornifer|| by chance?

[somber hill]

||1 they could not know abt elegant key
2 they might have not saved sly yet||

[desert sand]

only found the ||hornet||

[somber hill]

thats good

[gusty turret]

ah, try to find ||cornifer|| then since he will be REALLY helpful in this part

[somber hill]

tag yea ||cornifer|| is super helpful in ur 1st playthru

[desert sand]

ive found him but i cant get out of here since the door closed behind me

[somber hill]

rly?

no i dont see a door closing

he's out in the open

[desert sand]

alr

[gusty turret]

i think they went in through ||fungal wastes, with the city crest tho idk if theres any other ways to enter xD||

[somber hill]

ooh

[desert sand]

yep

[somber hill]

i thought he meant door closed when he got to ||cornifer||

[subtle field]

I just can't man ||fools|| is too hard

[acoustic sigil]

Please don't tell them any info they didn't directly ask for

[acoustic sigil]

Do you have everything?

[subtle field]

Define everything

[acoustic sigil]

[somber hill]

[somber hill]

and max ||nail||

[subtle field]

Yes

[somber hill]

ok nice yea this is upgrades im dumb

[fathom bison]

Show your charm loadout?

[acoustic sigil]

||Okay then, the general strategy is to use nail arts + shade soul with shaman stone||

[subtle field]

||I lose when those traitor lord start to pop up, I made some progress this time and reached when walls start to shrink but then again lost||

[acoustic sigil]

As in the ||mini traitor lords enemies?||

hi there, pls tag any in-game content to prevent others from getting spoiled

and then what charms do u have

[acoustic sigil]

||Shade soul is a very powerful crowd control, stand on one end of the arena and use it once or twice and it will kill practically everything (with shaman stone)||

[somber hill]

so are u able to edit to include tags or delete msg pls h

[subtle field]

Should I use ||soul eater? Cause I need to heal a lot as well||

[somber hill]

ty very much

[acoustic sigil]

What is your current charm loadout?

[acoustic sigil]

Oh you are missing ||2 notches||

[somber hill]

maybe take out ||qslash||, it isn't worth the cost in ||colo||

[acoustic sigil]

I would definitely get those before continuing with ||fools ||

[somber hill]

mmmmm that too

[subtle field]

oh ok

ill try to find them then

[somber hill]

ok @thick wing so i have charm recommendations/analysis for ||colo||(don't take me for granted this is all from a spectators pov and i might be forgetting some):
||good charms to use: strength, shaman, grubsong, nmg.
decent charms to use: twister, soul gathering charms, quickfocus, dwielder
ok charms: heart, stalwart, nail lengthening charms
circumstantial charms depending on playstyle: sharp shadow, survival build charms ||

[subtle field]

well ||it appears i am missing the one from fog canyon and grim boss, can you help with grimm boss please i am sturggling against that too||

[acoustic sigil]

Any specific attacks you are struggling with?

[subtle field]

||the one in which he becomes a drill and one where he dashes towards you like hornet||

[acoustic sigil]

||For that dash out of the way from the drill to create some distance (or through it with shade dash if he drills very xlose to you) and then jump and double jump + dash to stay off the ground as long as he is dashinf||

[topaz moth]

Ahh you’ve progressed so far so quickly Mazu!!!

[subtle field]

stella i missed u

just saying but until 4 days ago my time was 2hrs on this game

[topaz moth]

Like thommie said, for the ||drill attack he will appear above you come down, then to the left or right depending on where you are. So once you see him above you, dash and the immediately double jump to avoid the next attk. For the hornet like lunge, his attack is now stating form the side then going up. So when that happens, dash away, and then get ready to react to the fire balls that come down when he upper cuts||

||for the fire balls that com down, don’t over complicate it by moving too much, most likely you will just need to move a little to the right or left to dodge them invetween||

[subtle field]

||my issue is when he dash and jumps i get stuck b/w his jump||

[topaz moth]

Between the stuff that comes down after he jumps?

[topaz moth]

Someone is hooked :3

[subtle field]

nah like when he dash and then jump i am successful in avoiding the dash but not the jump

[topaz moth]

Ohhh ok

[subtle field]

ill be trying though, ||already beat zote 4 times how hard this guy can be||

[topaz moth]

So yea he ||swipes alittle after the dash while jumping right, so just put a little more distance between you after the dash. So I’d be dash away then walk a little so he’s not in ur face||

[topaz moth]

Oh yea imo ||Grimm is peanuts compared to Zotey ||lol

[slim harness]

I love peanuts

[subtle field]

i am not aiming for the ||golden zote statue btw||

[topaz moth]

I don’t think I even have that lol

[subtle field]

i just wanted to kick ||bretta out of the town||

[topaz moth]

Fuck yes

[slim harness]

Ohman

[subtle field]

yea 4 is enough

[topaz moth]

Also for ||colo, those traitor lord guys are rly fast and unfortunately you just need to react to their attk. The flying ones only have 1 attk they do slowly, but yea the ones on the ground suck||

[subtle field]

i won

[topaz moth]

||grimm?||

Holy.. girl you are absolutely insane

That was so fast xD

[subtle field]

[topaz moth]

What was that 1 more attempt?

[subtle field]

ok time to get the last one

[topaz moth]

You know where it is?

[subtle field]

tbh it was like my 8th ig

[subtle field]

||fogg canyon||

ill find a way

[topaz moth]

Gl, and since I think Ik which one ur talking about, || remember: spell is ur friend|| 😉 😉

[subtle field]

dw girl, i'd win

[topaz moth]

No doubt about it

[subtle field]

||my only 2 struggles atm is fools and white castle area||

[topaz moth]

Omg noooo 😂not ||”White Castle”|| lmao

The ||pale king didn’t do everything he do to be called White Castle||, that’s so good

[subtle field]

||I just want the other part of white fragment so I can hear hornet say "get gud"||

[jade sedge]

It'd be better to spoiler tag this imo, even if it isnt directly ingame stuff

[vivid fog]

otso

welp

@topaz moth tag your message next time

am i doing it right?

i kept messing up 😞

[acoustic sigil]

Gg on mod

||charm build for watcher knights? i have 6 notches, channelled nail and 6 masks||

[inner robin]

||tbh what you have on now isn’t terrible, I suppose you could swap fury for soul catcher and MoP for shaman stone if you want a spell build (which is honestly just better for watchers if you can figure out how to get consistent multi hits with fireball though it’s tricky)||

[gusty turret]

that was literally the build i was using before i thought it wasnt good enough..

[inner robin]

Can I see your other inventory

[gusty turret]

||6 masks and 2 soul vessles||

[inner robin]

||ok you have ddark which is insane against watchers||

||assuming you get all hits, with sham an stone it deals 88 damage plus gives you iframes and can usually hit both watchers||

||channeled nail deals 13||

[gusty turret]

12th try

[inner robin]

Nice!

[serene tinsel]

||I have NEVER done NKG before. Anyone have any tips for builds? Should I be worried if I beat normal Grimm first try or?||

[inner robin]

Try it a few times then come back if you’re struggling

[serene tinsel]

I'd rather minimize how many times I gotta do it lol, no tips at all?

[inner robin]

Well it’s hard to gives tips to a boss you have even fought

Just don’t try to face tank

[serene tinsel]

Yeah well, I just tried and it was a disaster LMAO.

[inner robin]

||nkg is generally considered in the top 5 hardest bosses to learn so it may take a while||

I can try to give tips if you give me specifics that you’re struggling with!

[tawny sapphire]

[topaz moth]

lol

[swift zephyr]

hi chat, I really need help

I was playing this game somewhat casually, until now

I beat ||The dream version of soul master, right?||

and then I ||Broke the black egg||

[topaz moth]

||I forget who said it in here but nkg is more or less a turn based boss, where their attacks are quick and sudden and you rarely have a change to get hits in. When learning, take your time and be patient||

[swift zephyr]

now is the hardest part though

I feel like I geuinenly CANNOT beat ||The Hollow Kngiht||

[topaz moth]

Be consistent with you movement and prioritize dodging attacks

[serene tinsel]

After trying a couple of times, I think it's mostly when he dashes and when he lets out the ||Bats||

[topaz moth]

You time to get damage in will come

[swift zephyr]

I've even been spoiled on ||the ending, although just one frame||

so... what do I do to not have too much trouble with this boss?

[serene tinsel]

||When he does the wall spikes I can avoid them pretty well, and the fire thing is self explanatory.||

[swift zephyr]

chat? 😦

[topaz moth]

||bats are 2 on top and 2 on bottom, I’d recommend doing a small hop over the first bottom one and then dashing through the second||

[topaz moth]

What are you having trouble with

Any attacks in particular?

[swift zephyr]

like

[inner robin]

||yeah nkg is really consistent so it’s more or less figuring out a way to dodge each attack then stringing them together||

[swift zephyr]

everything from what I remember

I am scared of this boss too

so that doesnt help

[tawny sapphire]

||NKG is easy, he has distinct telegraphs for all his attacks and they are aways the same except his position, you can dodge every attack given you use a consistent method to dodge it every time||

[timber iron]

Just anyone have any tips for watcher knights I cannot beat them

[swift zephyr]

I also have ||my nail upgraded only with 1 pale ore, I have 1/2 for next upgrade||

an issue I've laso having is well

||I dont wanna fight Nosk||

[topaz moth]

lol I get jt

[serene tinsel]

||"NKG is easy" you must have been playing for years then lmao||

I am not as fortunate to have gaming experience on my side. lol

[topaz moth]

Id say either || do a few more attempts and pay attention to what your getting hit by, or first venture out and upgrade ur nail some more||

[swift zephyr]

alr, I'll go do some more attempts

[inner robin]

||nkg is consistent but hard to learn at first due to his speed and whatnot||

[serene tinsel]

He is going a million miles a second. Why can't he be the pace he is normally

[timber iron]

How do I do that hide possible spoiler

[serene tinsel]

So sped up for no reason aaaa

|| on btoh sides

[timber iron]

Ah thanks

[swift zephyr]

also chat

||Is it even possible for me to go further if the Hollow Knight is hard for me?||

[inner robin]

Yeah! Everybody can improve

[topaz moth]

Bosses are only hard when you fight them for the first time, you only get better form there :3

[median jewel]

ya i beat da hollow knigtj when i stuggled with it

:D

[serene tinsel]

Trust me that after trying for an hour, muscle memory kicks in lol

You just gotta keep doing it. Eventually you won't even think about it

[swift zephyr]

good charm set for ||The Hollow Knight||?

also ty chat 😄

[inner robin]

||don’t use sharp shadow||

[swift zephyr]

but its so cool 😦

[inner robin]

||dash master isn’t that good either especially without sharp shadow and no point using compass in a boss fight||

[dusk ember]

||wayward compass is a little too strong||
In all seriousness ||sharp shadow will mess up your timings and positioning if you're not a pro||

[swift zephyr]

this better?

[swift zephyr]

yeah but it ||deals so much damage||

??

[dusk ember]

Spoiler

[median jewel]

mb

[inner robin]

No

[median jewel]

||get quick slash its in kingdoms edge||

[serene tinsel]

||I did some research. Do you really only need 9 abyssal shrieks to kill the guy? NKG i mean||

[tawny sapphire]

it does not

🔹 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.

[topaz moth]

Yes, since the fight is so fast hitting him with that is next to impossible at least without tanking dmg,you really only get 3 opportunities but they are rly tight

[dusk ember]

||just look around for charms, there's a few better combat focused ones compared to what you have rn||

[swift zephyr]

and I died again 😭

got kinda far I think though

this seems so feasible

[topaz moth]

Is that ||deepfocus?||

[median jewel]

||did u get to the stage where he starts stabbing himself?||

[inner robin]

||no that’s quickfocus I think||

[median jewel]

i can chek

[topaz moth]

Ok, I mean ig that’s fine

[median jewel]

i have 1 of dem on my main save slot

[tawny sapphire]

it's ||QF||

||DF|| is more ||crystals||

[dusk ember]

Alr here:
||Bats attack: short hop thru first, short double jump thru second, shade dash thru third. Should be able to get 3 hits in.||
|| dash attack: Safe way is jump and dash over. You could pogo on him before you dash but you'll probably take damage if you miss the pogo.||
||Flame pillars: don't need to hold run or dash, just tap one direction repeatedly||
||Dive attack: same as dash attack.||
||Balloon: try not to use double jump unless you really need it, and prepare a dash or ddark after||
Hope this helps a little

[median jewel]

i ahve a question

[topaz moth]

Ya ya, just think what ||charms ||would be best for him

[dusk ember]

[median jewel]

[topaz moth]

Focus on ||dodging and saying always mobile, kill the snappers where you can and focus dodging projectiles from the sides and isma herself ||

Also you can ||pogo her vine whip attk||

[topaz moth]

I think there’s something in the modding channel to help with that

[swift zephyr]

I dont think I'm beating this game.

[topaz moth]

You can always come back after getting more ||charms and nail upgrades||

[swift zephyr]

[tawny sapphire]

||Absolute Inferno King Grimm, it uses the same fire bats attack as they described lmao||

[swift zephyr]
