Do it do it do it do it
?
Fight ||nosk||
sadly I was watching my dad play Hk and it got spoiled to me
I wouldn't recommend rando unless you have done practically everything in the game
Wdym
yeah but like
I am not doing ||True Ending||
Why not
||Absolute Radiance||
Yea why
I am NOT bothering with a fight of this calibre again đ
||True ending doesn't require absrad ||
||do i do true ending?||
If you want to
it felt amazing when I finished but it was misery throuough
I would itâs fun
huh?
||absoulte radience is godhome||
||Guys what do I do after hornet I visited a lake but I couldnât go across but found a cool npc and rest area ||
also quick question
where the hell does this game hold all the ||platforming challenges||??? Like the map doesnt have that many, and I've explored almost everything
Turn back
||Use your dash to get to places you previously couldn't reach, generally go down||
Then what
K
||what thommie said. You gained a new ability which can access areas you may not have before. Now your job is to find them||
||white palace and path of pain||
||yeah but other ones?||
idk
also I kid you not when I say that the only unexplored area I could find is in ||Queen's Gardens||
also ||Why is this dude free? I thought he got trapped after the ending???||
and why is ||The Black Egg still open?||
Itâs like any rpg. ||The game knows you best the final boss but it takes you back to your last save point||
what ||charms i use besides sharp shadow?||
true ig
should I go explore ||Queen's Gardens||?
If your heart desires
alr
also I'm afraid of ||The Game Over screen||
does it like ||Delete your save-file?||
k btw ||marmu at queens gardens||
??
||steel soul eyz normal no||
You just doing ||normal mode?||
yeah
||the dream warrior||
Then ||there isnât a game over screen when you die||
I thought there was if ||you die in The White Palace||?
||Steel soul mode is the only permadeath aspect of the game||
o, alr
the ||grub looking thing?||
ya
man ||traitor lrod killed me with colison damage:(||
what the fuck I thought the hard stuff was done for today
guys can you help me to finish my charm collection? i only need to get ||Weaversong|| and ||Lifeblood core||, where do i get them?
he's not that hard
that the boss im tryna kill for a ||white fragment||
what ||dream boss should I fight?,failed champion,white defender or grey prince zote(I already beat lost kin)||
i keep dyingto ||traitor lord:(||
||Id say easiest is white defender||
it doesn't really matter
just say :( ||I wanna get radiance ending||
i'll recommend you to beat every warrior dreams, they're pretty easy and gives you 200 essence when beated
just like dream bosses
why does ||traitor lrod have to have 2 ranged attacks:(||
ye but I need ||1800 essense and I already beat all the warrior dreams||
how many ||essence|| do you have?
||1400||
I HATE ||TRAITORL ORD|| SO MUCHH
It only uses 1 if you stay close to him
Replied to this but discord deleted ig
any tips?
Abuse ||shade cloak||
||Stay close, shade cloak through his attacks, wait if he backs off,||
oh, well
you should beat any ||dream boss|| you want, all of then gives you 300 ||essence||
||can you fight pure vessel after defeating hollow knight ?||
yea, in the ||4-th panteon, in the godhome||
I hate this so muchh
where do i get them???? 
||weaversong is in deepenest, lifeblood core is in ancient bassin||
Tell us if you want more precision
hold on, lemme check in the wiki
I AM GOING TO CRY

okay, i think i know where am i need to go

lucky:( im on my 97th try:(
you can do it
I ||got something from the tree after the boss, but I cant seem to find it anywhere?||
||white fragment is in the charms menu||
oo alr, ty
how do people beat ||traitor lord hitless:(||
hmmm
I guess I ||gotta find the second one somehwer||
||sharp shadow is pretty nice, itâs a very rhythmic boss||
||you can shade cloak through the dash, the jump is easy to avoid, and ddark spam negates the other attacks||
i actually would not recommend that because ||the extra dash length makes the parkour hell||
Spoiler tags 
btw is randomizer that fun?
||fair enough, but for the boss itself Iâd say itâs rather useful||
I feel like the fun of this game is exploring the map and fighting bosses
that doesnt happen on 2nd playthrough
||honestly normal shade dash is enough||
they can be... chaotic
i cant do da platformign with ||sharp shadow||
||whatâs your current charm build||
oh dear
use ||quick focus||
bruh no
helps with ||healing||
no time to heal during ||tl||
it helped me so much
both on ||the hollow knight|| and here
e
all you need is like ||quick slash, shaman stone, soul catcher|| and just ||slash-slash-ddark||
My honest reaction
There is if you use ||qf||
||even so it's a questionable strategy due to 2 damage||
i dont have 10 ||charm notches||
||quick slash + shaman stone + soul catcher is 8||
Meh, depends if they're good at dodging
||catcher, not eater||
||if they're bad at dodging then abuse ddark + shade cloak iframes||
chat can someone help?
I have no clue where to go now, every single location on the map is explored
That's fair
||what have you just finished doing||
defeating ||traitor lord||
checklist:
||dreamers||
||1800 essence||
||charms and notches||
||grimm troupe||
||and did you receive any cool item?||
i died to boss agin bc he ran into me:(
yeah!
dang
I dont wanna fight ||dream bosses||
they're harddd
||youâd probably want to find the missing half to that item :3||
well... Yeah, but I dont know where, considering I've explored everything đŚ
e
||for tl, take it slow||
||when he dashes, shade dash towards him||
||when he jumps, walk towards where he was when he started the jump||
||any other attack can be avoided with dive||
they're not bad when you get the hang of it
yeah but
I wanna explore đŚ
me suck at timing ||dive||
||soul tyrant gives time to heal, lost kin is easily staggered, failed champion gets countered by sharp shadow||
||once you collect 1800 essence, go to the seer, she will upgrade your dream nail, then head to ancient basin, explore a little, and youâll find it :3||
alr...
||but that requires fighting dreamers||
||when he starts moving for an attack just short hop and ddark||
cuz I have like
||989||
how get ||dream gate||
||essence req.||
you should fight ||the dream warriors and dream bosses||
||if you donât wanna fight dream bosses, consider fighting dream warriors instead, and collecting essence from the trees||
||whispering roots are horrible and not worth doing||
YOOOO
||if you had to fight one single dream boss though, have it be the broken vessels one, it gives the most||
where do I find ||Dream warriors|| tho?
||theyâre located throughout hallownest, you can find one in fungal wastes, one in deepnest, one in kingdoms edge, howling peaks, green path, and more||
tip: for first playthrough, buy pins from ||iselda||
||theyâre sort of like mini bosses and are pretty easy to beat||
||they're simple bullet hell enemies||
alr..
NOT ||MARKOTH||
I did already
:3
||the dream warrior in ke:
||
||then the dream warriors should be marked on map||

nah you can just ||burst down markoth with shriek||

this ||sign||?
yup
||shrieking him without him escaping and without getting hit is rather demanding for someone that just discovered the boss||
||who said anything about not getting hit?||

i cant beat ||traitor lord:(||
this is the only one marked???
They must be marked one at a time maybe
||there are more, you likely haven't discovered them yet||
I have LITEARLLY explored the entire map
Or that
I am not even kidding you, there are no more ways to go for me that arent marked on the map
yeah... doubtful
thats ||traitor lord||
||if you're having trouble with traitor lord you can get cloth from ancient basin if you haven't yet and she'll help out||
image 1
Please delete the image and resend it with a spoiler tag đ
i dont want cloth to die:(
||she isn't really helping that much in the fight||
image 4
||well cloth wants to die||
image 6
image 5 resend (forgot spoiler tag)
the crystal peak thing is a thing where I cant go
there is just no way there
There should be one left of where you currently are
||you may have killed the other ones||
Keep going left until you see it
?
I've killed this one
ah you've probably killed most of them already
That means you must have gotten most of em
dang
I dont want to fight ||dreamers|| đ
||oh yeah that's just the transition for when you jump off hallownest's crown, you can't go up through it||
ohh alr
also yeah, I've told you guys that I've explored everything
||get the trees, they give 25-50 essence per tree||
||the good thing is that for the dream bosses you can keep retrying||
ehh idk
no lol do not it'll take forever
trueeeee
||itâs the only alternative that doesnât require fighting dream bosses||
||dream bosses are more fun, don't take as long, and give more essence||
||yeah i know, but he doesnât want to do them||
i noticed you haven't done ||love key||
thats what we all think

đš 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 havenât found, for example. These spoilers, though generally good-intentioned, can harm a playerâs experience as any other spoiler would. Remember the game is non-linear; Always make sure to know what a player has and where theyâve reached. A simple screenshot of their map and inventory would tell you all you need to know.
hm?
oh ok
dw about it
alr
nan ||quirrel's just going for a swim||
||he'll be fine||
the ||achievement says otherwise||
||the achievement lies||
||why would it||
also you have not explored the whole map
there's a place you can get an item in ||queen's gardens||
||unlocks the door in city near kingdom's edge||
good luck
ty
after ||traitor lord?||
nope, it's in the ||long corridor you can see on the map||
I'll check it out later
||how do i do a E-pogo? i've seen multiple tutorials and have been trying for almost an hour but i cant do the 'pogo' part, its like i cant pogo the spore without it exploding||
it needs pretty precise setup. Also make sure you're watching a tutorial for the patch that you play on
use the speedrun channel i think
I cant beat it.
||i am doing that, i have done the setup so many times, but when i try to pogo on the spore, i either miss or i hit the spore directly and it explodes in my face||
I cant beat ||dream vessel||
||which one||
dream
||lost kin i think||
the ||ancient basin one||
||whatâs your charm build||
Can u send all ur charms
No wonder it doesn't help, that's not a good layout
||Shaman Stone, Defender's Crest, Mark of Pride, Spell Twister||
||shaman stone and spell twister is a good combo||
Omg great minds think alike
do I use spells tho
yes
You should use them a lot with this boss, itâs great against them
#speedrunning is a better place for this. If you want you can send a video there and ask what you're doing wrong
I just dont wanna fight hard bosses rn
i will prolly do that
should I try out rando while I'm bored with my main save?
I find it very hard to have fun on stupid hard bosses :<
btw lately I barely have fun with HK
Itâs alright :3, hopefully with time it gets easier
due to no new areas to explore really, and its just became sort of a boss rush that just drains me mentally
Thatâs understandable, itâs a pretty difficult game
Donât feel like you ever need to continue, just do whatâs best for you ^^
I just want to have fun again đŚ
It sounds like you might be burnt out, maybe try a more lighthearted game instead?
You can always get back to hk any time you like
yeah but then as soon as I'll return I'll suffer again
Ehh, who knows, maybe youâll feel the itch for a challenge one day and hollowknight will provide that for you
Idk, I feel like a failure due to me not getting the ||true ending||
Nah man itâs all good
And by the way, team cherry themselves said thereâs no true ending
All endings hold equal value
||you will unlock an ability later in the game that allows you to pass it, for now just keep exploring :3||

les go
thanks 
Oh ok ty i was just getting annoyed thinking ||id missed some ability along the way and had to go back for it||
Np
||hollowknight is a very vague game, you can do things in any order no matter what path you take in many cases||
Also major abilities are rarely hidden underneath random rocks, the game hints well at them being somewhere
what is ||fungul core||
a side area from ||fungal waste||
||i learned that at the mantis village and exploring for hourss i love the game for that reason even if its frustrating at times||
Iâm glad you find it fun ^^ just keep exploring and Iâm sure youâll find your way, if you ever get stuck feel free to come back here
I will ty blox

||do you dash through him or away from him||
If I was in your position I probably wouldnât
But you can do it if youâd like to
no I think you should beat it
I KILLED ||TRAITOR LORD||
through
Congrats

just move onto anther game if hk is too hard. come back later. ive found that helps me beat hard games if I take a long break. had to do it with sekiro
idk man...
gg
what are you having a hard time with?
teent 
hi
||where the grub near white lady?||
you gotta go around
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
sawsee
gotta go grind for the random ||1 essence||
me killed a ||dream warrior||
nice
1.3k more to go:(
1.4k actually
Let him dream
how to easily kill ||failed champion||
||sharp shadow||
Just don't rn
||dash through him when he attacks||
That's so obvious tho TT
||sharp shadow gives enough shade dash length to be able to go completely through him||
makes it rather trivial
Wait it does?
yes
Wow that makes it much more useful
it should. I havent tested but i think it would
but there really isnt an "easy" kill for it.
its a pretty hard boss
Please edit your message with spoiler tags
Oh iam sorry then
imma do ||lost kin||
How do i tag my msg
||like this||
yeah
what easiest ||dream boss varient?||
||Soul Tyrant imo||
||failed champion can be staggered infinitely so it's actually not that bad||
||soul tyrant or white defender||
i havent even killed dung defender:(
Woah
cuz idk where he is
||i find white defender to be one of the harder ones since there's not much breathing room, he never staggers or anything||
||royal waterways||
and i have killed thign for fluke cuz ia lso done know where it is:(
Stay aggressive against him
I just stay near and use quick slash and unbreakable strength
||yeah he's not that bad once you realize you can shriek the poop out of the air||
Even when the second phase starts you just stay very close while slashing it worked like that for me
YES FR
u can use fragile bc it dream
||but failed champion becomes absolutely trivial with sharp shadow or even just good ddark timing||
||You can also hit the poop with up slash to reflect||
||closent bench to dung defender?||
remember your ||
How can we explain without the map
||Uhm probably lower left bench||
Yes that one near your pin
wait dats da only bench in royal water ways:(
Is it? I never paid attention to the wastes
remember to use spoilers 
Do we use it on every sentence?
honestly you should be fine against ||dung defender||
||you can just dive him out of the ground||
i think i needa kill ||dung defender for 1st panthion||
Finally I beat ||pure vessel and 112%'D HOLLOW KNIGHT!||
||He's so easy that way done him on radiant||
CONGRATS
wait dude how'd you|| get to queen's gardens without beating dung defender lmao||
||You should really leave godhome for last really||
spoilers are used on words that need spoiler tags. so usually most messages with use them
And I did it without ||spells||
Yeah anything after Dirtmouth is a spoiler and needs to be tagged
why not make a spoiler warning on the channel
there is
Then why do we use spoilers TT
no ||dirtmouth || needs spoilers
im at the arena
because a spoiler warning is useless
||Good luck use your dive alot when he's underground||
Spoilers are for when there are people who are at different points in the game in chat at the same time
lots of people, so u need to edit this message and the previous one
Yeah just not used to this at all
Exactly, you need to be mindful of the fact that someone ||who's beat 1 dreamer for example isn't aware of something like PURE vessel||
Imagine getting in a game's server before even trying it out for 10 minutes
It's not even 10 mins, it's like 7
yea ppl will ask abt the game before buying it
Give more time for noobs
I was clueless at first
Fair
Actually iam always clueless in hk
Isn't that what youtube before you buy guides are for
if you want spoilers sure
i killed ||dung defender||
lovely
I mean it doesn't leak much
Now dyk where to head?
Lovely
I actually forgot lmao IT was so long ago
still needs to be edited đŞ
||isma's grave? For isma's tear||
how get ||isma?||
Oh yeah
Far right on map
I just started the game those weeks so i remember everything
What ||%|| r u on
Idk
here?
||108%||
Yup good job
Damn, what u missing?
Idk as i said iam very clueless when it comes to hk
me just got ||72 perscent:(||
I judt explore my way through
||I was 72% about 4 days ago you'll get it all soon||
got ||ismas||
Congrats dyk where to now?
not rly
Ok so do you remember any place that needed you to ||swim through acid||
no
Spoiler tags
||Right next to arena you dive||
mb
||next to dung defender's arena||
||There's alot of mud/poop||
||You use your dive and it gets you down||
where now
You found it?
u never edited this
found it
mb:( me forgetful
when silksong?
On 8th of September 2024
should i practise ||traitor in god home?||
if u can't consistently beat him, yes
shouldnt be a crazy hard boss to learn
why do i keep killing ||traitor lord at 1 mask||
because you're not used to his patterns 
you gotta priorities dodging over dealing damage because of his ||2x damage||
imma do the ||ascended version||
yeah thats a good way to push yourself
if you can do ||ascended, you should be able to do the normal version easily||
me was so clsoe
Can anyone teach me to fight ||nailsage sly||? Struggling
me havent got there yet me still on ||1st pantheon||
What are you struggling with in particular
Learning the moves and finding ways to properly dodge/find openings to attack
Ooh Iâd love to help with him heâs one of my favorite fights
||Sly is very very tricky cause he doesnât really have telegraphs to his attacks. Your main openings are in between his attacks. With that you want to stay near him, but still out of range of his attacks, so when he finishes an attack, you can get 1-2 hits in before the next attack||
||when you are far away he does interrupt his combos to run after you, which is another reason I like to stay close. Makes it more consistent||
He most of the time always does ||a full attack string before stopping for a moment. Your attacking window is between his attacks. ||
||Usually you'd want to use nail arts because they deal the most damage in a single hit. You can charge them while he's attacking||
So yeah. ||Donât want for him to attack to start retreating because he wonât give you any warning||
Especially ||the last phase you want to use great slash||
If you go too far away ||he'll run after you. Try to stay in the middle because it gives you more room to dodge. Staying at corners is risky, especially in second phase||
I agree
||and getting cornered by Sly pretty much guarantees you take damage. He turns around during his 3 hit combo if you move past him which will catch you trying to get out of the corner||
Lol
Well tbf there is a lot to talk about with ||sly||
Well, guess I know who to ask if I struggle xxd
what đ
thats what u want to do 
@hard zodiac come back rn đ
hello
hi

go do physics
Peak
the exam is in 2 weeks. math first
Not the direction I was expecting this to go
Less peak but still peak
You don't want him running after you. You want him to do his silly attack string so he stops for a second before his next attack string I think
Chemistry then math then physics 3 weeks in a row gotta be illegal :ponder:
Hello, i have a technical issue. I play with keyboard, and when i move right and look up at the same time I can't attack or do any other input. does anyone know what causes this? (Sorry if it's the wrong chanell
u want to ||run away from him to a wall so that he does the slash combo||
Some (cheaper) keyboards have this issue, it's because you press too many keys in the same region
So the keyboard doesn't handle more
It's not working as good as I'd hoped
It totally is, i tried the same thing on Isaac and it had the same issue, thank you
Alright, beat ||sly 3 times in hall of gods in a row|| Always just 1 life left but let's see
It also just takes practice and getting a good feel of the fight
||GPZ|| is another issue before that because I can't deal with how random he feels xd
Yeah, ||compared to sly heâs much more reactionary||
||His attacks arenât gonna be in the same spots every time so in his fight you have to learn not only how to dodge each attack but to adapt to the situations||
||My slow brain has issues working that fast xd I beat him three times before in the basement, but in P3 I always die on him, feel like those other tries were pure luck xd||
||Heâs actually easier in the basement those first times||
||each time you beat him in there he gets slightly stronger and is given a new adjective to his name||
||Oh, true, in P3 he has like 30 titles||
||Forgot about that xd Guess I don't suck thaaaaat much||
Yeah donât worry lol. Heâs easily one of the hardest bosses in the game
||I am actually so close to installing an invincibility mod to beat NKG, can someone tell me the best way to keep the consistency?||
||Wheres the fun in that xd wont get the satisfaction :3||
||I beat him a few times though, isn't too bad if you get into what move to avoid how, and the spaces left to attack||
||paying attention to where he teleports is a good giveaway of which attack heâll perform, which helps with reaction||
||i need some help with the third pantheon, any tips? i've got all charms items and upgrades possible||
||Who specifically? Apart from zote and sly I got all of them in me||
||Is he in pantheon if you donât save him?||
nope
||sly, i let zote become food for the vengefly king||
Does something replace him
I just happened to be too nice and I have to live wioth the consequences
No
That I don't know, but I think no
He just ainât there
||I'm slowly getting better at sly, though a little further up here some other people taught me useful stuff :3||
||So pantheon has one less fight if you donât save him?||
Correct
Sweet
oops
here xd
Sorry for the ping
You lucky I was already here
xd
i'll go try and beat him, thanks for the help!
Np
he's the last bit i need before pure completion
The frostbite rage would have been sent upon me otherwise
Best charms for ||watcher knights||
I cannot beat them
I just recently beat the ||collecter and hornet 2nd fight and got shadow dash||
||A lot of pogo'ing and dashing through them with shade when they start spinning xd||
Tried like 50 times lmao
i NEED help with mantis lords
do what he said he's smart ^
l
||I can help, beat them radiant already||
u should fr help me im on norm mantis lords
please edit this message with spoiler tags. You can use spoiler tags by putting two vertical bars on each side || like this ||
please don't mention stuff that they might not know yet
sorry...
Does ||dream nail do anything in boss fights||
||It gives you soul whgen you slash them||
||it gives you soul by striking the enemies which can be extremely helpful on most fights if done correctly||
Ah ok ty
theres one attack where they ||stand on a wall and hurrel scyth things at you|| ||dependant on where they are on the wall up or down they will shoot deferint types of scyths||
btw i already know abt the whole raidence thing
please edit this and the message I replied to before. Everything from the game needs to be spoiler tagged here
That's fine. My point was the rules, not this specific case tho
might i ask why
So other people who don't know that much yet don't get spoiled
but it helps get them ready to what to look forward to in game
How much health does ||the 5 watchers have||
Just censor the message
yes and thats the opposite of what ppl want in this channel
hence why the content is blocked with spoiler tags
different people like to play the game differently. Also if you wanna continue talking about the rules do that in a different channel or make a modmail to complain
some people like to go into games blind so that they get the unique experiance that one gets playing it for the first time (forced to ladapt to the game learning curve and all that)
correct and @lunar oar if u want help we can
bet
alright hit me
Censor the message tho
u need to edit the messages before you rly do anything else
good ||charm||loadout
for how early on you ar- wait is this ||godhome|| or first time fighting them?
u should ask to see what they have instead of assuming 
like my ninth time fighting them but the furthest part of ||map|| i have unlocked is ||soul sanctum||
These 4 charms I have on good? ||defenders crest jovi charm grubsong and spell twister||
oh... what ||charms|| do u have then? (theres alot you could get)
let me check
||defenders crest|| is pretty mid most of the time cuz ||nail reaches outside of the stink cloud||
can u start naming them cuz i have so many
dang
Ima probably end up quitting lol I've been trying for days
ok gud charms for that boss is ||quick focus, and a charm or two that help with soul|| (cuz they attack rly fast)
which boss?
||watcher knight||
Can you send an ss of your inventory
if ur getting cornered then run to the otherside of the room they will follow and only attack if there on screen
They keep hitting me even when I ||Shadow dash||
hmm thats rly weird
if the length of the ||dash ||isnt enough try using ||sharp shadow||
what is ||sharp shadow||
I am doing 67/63 achievements, with the extra 4 being
||*Get gold zote statue.
*All radiant HoG.
*All pantheon bindings.
*Get 57 zoteling kills on the secret HoG challenge.||
Does anyone have ideas for more things i can add to the list?
ya
if u rly don't care bout spoilers then fine... ||it makes ur shadow dash deal damage to enimies when u hit em and increases the dahses range||
oh word
What is your idea?
||get ALL secret acevs||
||acevs?||
i think he means acheivments
achevements
Alr did, i am doing extra things you can do ingame, that are not offical achievements, that is what i mean 67/63, because there are 63 official one, and i wanna od more extra
does it have to be on on save? or can it be on multiple?
oh
Preferably yes, but not neccesarily
u got ideas?
try speedrunning it
yes ||start a new save and see how fast you can get to the very bottem of the map||
na to the highest point
das easy
glitches allowded
I see the idea, but that is more like a speedrun thing, that could be infinitely improved, i mean more like an objective, to accomplish, not a speedrun
oh bet
ok ok
let me think a bit longer
All good, i appreciate all ideas
beat every boss with out loosing a single heart of damage|| lifoe blood does not count||
if damage is taken with it
That is just ||Radiant godhome||, alr did that mostly
dam u trying to train me lol
also how u do SO GOOD AT ||STEEL SOUL||
i feel like i would die at least once or twice
every time i log in lol
PLS help
||Painful amount of trial and error, and limiting yourself to max one new run per day, so you don't frustrate yourself too much, it is as much about patience, and pacing yourself, as it is about skill. Also extra tip, when you feel good at the game, and confident, DO NOT, JUST STOP! Confidence in steel soul will lead you to death, more times then not, so just be overly cautious in all situations, and also don't be a pussy and save quit, when you are about to die, take it on the chin, log out and try again tmrow.||
try beating ||pure vessel|| without using ur nail
good joke
ur NORMAL nail
||dream nail|| buddy
ur funny
u get ||soul and spells||
||Would that not require kingsoul? which i cannot do, since i have void heart on my save||
make this guy a stand up comedian
remember to use spoilers
||dream nail|| him then use spells man
but @upper dawn u are funnier than adam sandler
||Yuh, with dreamwielder, that is possible, will try it, thx for the idea.||
@upper dawn 
||spells, dream nail, etc|| are spoilers
đ
but ya i would cry if i had to do ||godhome|| rn lol
i only got up to ||p4||
na i havent even started yet
||p5|| would be way to hard... ain't ever gonna try it

did u beat it?
beat what ?
can someone send the most aggressive and somewhat long (because of damage dealt restriction) ||absolute radiance|| kill that they know about? i want to get to know how to consistently get to the boss when it's at a side of the arena and the character's on the opposite side or in the middle without an orb or a spike potentially flying into you but all kills that i found include just waiting in place after the boss teleports too far away from the author
any ||r5ab|| clear will have that
basically u just ||shade cloak|| and thats it tho 

||shade cloak through/under the first orb to destroy it and youll be at radiance, same for sword walls|| 
to clarify, i'm talking about the many platforms phase, after it teleports off screen where you can't see it and starts an attack
maybe my reaction time's just poor but i usually get hit because of a ||spike from spike burst|| or ||orb|| flying into me before i notice it or when ||shade cloak||'s on cd
unless ur speedrunning u have no reason to attack there
also remember to use spoiler tags. theyre required for all content in the game essentially
Which situation he's talking about ?
not the climb but after the ||shadow tentacles|| try to grab it and it teleports up
yes
how to send a spoiler image
following this, ||ur focus should be to dodge when radiance is not on an adjacent platform, not to attack.
for orbs, you want to try to lead them into platforms and shade cloak into them. for sword walls its just about listening for when they spawn so u know theyre coming||

that doesnt do anything, its just a bot command to show u how to use spoilers for images
its apart of one of the expansion packs the game has. activating it lets u start progressing through the content
||
|| 
is there any other clue for ||sword wall|| and ||light beam thing|| coming except sound?
how do i progress thru it
!!!
what do i do next
if you ||cant see radiance no, but the visual telegraph she has is subtle. also u can hear them before u can see them ||

they have incredibly distinct sounds that play as soon as they spawn
|| go to dirtmouth||
youll probably quickly find whats next just by playing the game
kk
also, ||why does radiance sometimes just get stuck in cast anim (that it does when casting orbs, spike burst or light beams from own head) during the many platforms phase? it literally stays in it for like 5 seconds without anything spawning from the cast, is that some sort of bug? can you trigger it through doing something or does it only happen randomly?||
Have fun
just wanted to know because i usually play with no sound since it only ends up being a distraction when fighting most bosses
its a bug, you cant intentionally trigger it but u can tell when itll happen
sound helps a lot in this fight
also, is there any consistent window for casting ||abyss shriek|| except ||light beams into many directions from own head||? it seems to often teleport away before cast gets finished when doing that after ||spike burst||
or was i just casting it too late?
yes
every attack lets u do it, the window to do it is pretty large on most attacks as well
generally u should just do it against the ||burst attacks|| tho
both of those are ||burst attacks. the bursts are the 2 attacks that spawn from her face after it lights up||
also, ||is there any use for descending dark except going through orbs during many platforms phase and removing floor spikes during 1st phase?||
u can use it in ||the platform phase on radiance if she does a burst attack while ur on her. generally its useful for evading attacks u otherwise couldnt or would struggle to.
also shade cloak can remove the spikes too as an alternative. u just have to stand beside them and dash ||
hi chat, I need help making a decision about a mod
also, ||is shade soul useful at all? going up to it and casting abyss shriek seems better in every scenario||
should I install this mod?
it isnt that useful yea
if u think it will improve your playing experience sure
|| shade souls can occasionally double hit|| but other than that not really
I mean the game has become a draining boss-rush at the point in progression where I am really
occasionally 
erm what the sigma
also, ||nail arts're useless for that fight too, right?||
games are meant to be fun, if u arent having fun then yes you should do what will be fun
yeah but like
my dad also plays this game, and this would put me above him in how I play
generally yes. if ur ||playing with bindings its different tho||
does that even happen when fighting ||radiance||? i've only seen it happen on things that bounce away after getting hit e.g. ||oblobbles||
and will I really be able to say something like
"Hey look I ||beat the Radiance!||"
I usually get a || great slash || in at start of|| 2nd phase ||
u can do it everytime u use ||fireball on radiance by aiming for the top of her||
no ||bindings||, just practicing for normal ||p5||
yeah, she has big hitbox
charms're ||strength, shaman stone, soul eater and grub song|| if that matters for anything
||eater|| is questionable 
why?
|| grub song || questionable
idk what else to put into last slot
you can remove ||eater and grubsong for quick slash + catcher/twister and effectively get the same soul and more dps||
Cause no ||quick slash||
so chat, what do I do
what if you no hit đ
do I install the mod?
if u think it will improve your playing experience yes
ultimately its your playthrough
If you want to? It's kinda a subjective question lol
yeah but man idkk...
||isn't quick slash sort of situational since it doesn't always let you do an extra attack, especially often if no steady body?||
feels really cheaty
|| quick slash ||is very useful on || abs rad ||imo
was also considering using it but thought that it doesn't help when fighting quick bosses that only let you do 1 or 2 hits after most attacks
u can always ||get extra hits in even without steady body. it isnt situational. steady body is used for more control not necessarily more hits. the extra hits are a result of having more control tho yes ||
as in ||its easier to get side slashes in during sword rains with steady body||
i meant generally for ||p5|| because of things like ||soul tyrant|| teleporting and ||uumuu|| floating away after every hit
||sly|| and ||oro and mato|| last phase etc.
although i think that there's a bench right before ||pure vessel|| so nvm
it's useful for ||pure vessel|| too, right?
I use it for every boss
generally its useful for all bosses. 1-2 exceptions doesnt mean u shouldnt use it
||uumuu and oro and mato|| are crazy picks too
wdym?
its very effective against them but ||uumuu || is pretty trivial since u can kill it in 1 cycle everytime
also, would swapping ||soul catacher for grub song and nailmaster's glory|| be worthwhile?
or ig the question's more like if ||nail arts|| are useful for most bosses
with ||full gear nail arts tend to be mediocre, theyre mostly for bindings. however if nail arts are already a major part of your playstyle then yes use glory||
I probably don't use ||nail arts|| as often as I should but they are really strong against many
never really use them since holding nail button when dashing, jumping etc.'s uncomfortable when playing through using a controller for me
wondered if learning how to do it with that anyway was worthwhile
prob not if don't use them already tbh
also, is there any difference between how ||nail arts|| get charged when playing with controller and kbm?
i've seen videos with people charging them almost immediately 1 after another but i seem to get a bit of a delay before the particles start coming into the character and the attack starts getting charged
like half a second
or was i doing something wrong?
and as last question, are there any uses for ||dream nail|| except ||uumuu||, ||false knight|| and ||failed champion||?
and ||watcher knights||
faster input/less input delay on kb then controller
and not enough to justify the ||dreamnail charm|| can't remember name rn lol
ik that it's useless, just wondered if there were any other times when bosses're invincible to nail but ||dream nail|| can be used
but I usually ||dreamnail|| any boss that staggers
||hornet 2|| intro ig?
can't remember if that gets blocked but potentially?
might just be not enough time for charging it up
also ||grimm|| intro ig
should be enough time during that
oh yeah I do do that one
also, is there any way for skipping lengthy transitions like ||soul master||'s?
just staring at the screen during those's boring
I'm sure there's a mod or something but nothing can really do about it that I know
it is annoying for me as well currently trying to beat ||abs rad on ascended||
||dream nail|| needs spoiler tags
And if you use it right it's useful for a lot of bosses
there is a mod however I would really only recommend those after you have done mostly everything from the base game
that's something else. It has nothing to do with keyboard or controller. You'll find that later
no
i got ||nailmaster's glory|| but speed seems to differ even with it
examples? know about all bosses' existence so dw about spoiling
and fought all of them too except ||dream zote||
112% and practicing for ||p5|| so
||well there are a lot so I won't list them all. The easier ones are bosses that stagger or have an animation at the start where you can dnail like hornet, hornet 2, hive knight, collector, false knight, failed champion, broken vessel, lost kin ect. Some other ones like gruz mother or oblobbles that don't stagger but move slowly are a bit trickier to hit but still doable after a bit of practicing the timing. I usually wouldn't go for these if you are doing stuff like normal p5||
thanks for all the answers
What's ||sharp shadow||
||A dash upgrade||
How do I do that
||beat hornet||
? I think I did already
probably shouldnt worry abt that rn methinks
Do it again

đš 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 havenât found, for example.

Remember the game is non-linear; Always make sure to know what a player has and where theyâve reached. A simple screenshot of their map and inventory would tell you all you need to know.
What do you mean again ?

You will see eventually
Yes
rly tough boss ||the homophobic one|| any gud charm builds? i was thinking of using ||pride flag, wayward compass, gathering swarm, and pride parade|| whachu think?
What's the super broken ||charm I saw one like 2 shot the knights||
what
âŚ
this isnt a meme channel
I can't even tell what boss they're referring to
none
there are many broken charms. You'll find all of them eventually if you look for them

Yes talking about which boss is homophobic surely is hk discussion
aside from that, several mods have directly said thats what should happen

grev tell thommie to use spoilers pls
Do t cancel my boy
I thought it was like ||traitor lord|| or smth
uh sir this is #hk-help
Rare not tagged Thommie moment
True
Why
DAMN
Okay I'm going to sleep
I felt a disturbance in the force
I have been defeated
?sleep thommie
byyyyyyyyyyyyyye
Cya
tasty stuff
yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
how to beat the vampire guy
Which one
||grimm||
What are your current abilities and charms? Can you send a pic?
sadly ya just need to learn their moves via practice
How much health does uh ||flukeworm have||
You can be cringe and spamm ||up spell || during their phase transitions to cheese but youâll take damage
||350 But idk how much that number really helps you||
Never mind I obliterated him
Honestly wasn't expecting that to be so easy
Where is the ||shaman stone||
||huh I'm really rusty but I think a seller sells it||
Let me check
Yeah it is, if you want to know exactly where it is, the seller is the one at ||the bottom right of crossroads||
||it's says summons a horde but summons one massive thing?||
For 220 geo
Thatâs cause you have ||defenders crest on||
???
Explore around ||where gruzmother was||
Oh wait I think I know my bad
What are you tryina say?
after you ||beat the game and get an ending||, can you keep playing after? im especially confused with the ||p5 ending|| cuz after you would still want to do it ||with bindings||...
Been awhile since I went there
i mean on the same save file
Yeah you can still play
Itâs like Zelda where once you win you get put at your last save with the accomplishment saved
||ending needs spoiler tags since it suggests there are multiple||
thanks
Well actually botw & totk (at least) don't save the fact you finished the main quest
ok so i can go do ||thk+radiance ending|| rn and then do all the many many other things i still wanna do?
Nuh uh
it does. There is a tiny star on the save file
You get a star on your file
đ
Yes
Oh right, my bad đ
anyone down to tip me if i cash app
Guess I gtg play those again
so can you ||get multiple endings|| on the one save file?
Yes
Go beat ||mantis lords|| first child
wdym
I have || fluknest spell twister and shamon stone and compass on to cap my charm slots that good?||
||flukenest is bad. The rest is good||
but for just walking around or playing easier bosses everything works
just||over charm||
How dare you insult the game's most broken charm 
yo wtf
WAUT OOPS
it's not good for casual players 
Ik ik I was being silly
how u got so many
is this good for ||thk + radiance||? what else could i use?
also
are ||nail arts|| good in this fight?
Donât use sans or health
Only if you know how to abuse ||hitboxes||
||mark of pride and dash master do almost nothing for radiance. Heart is fine and shaman is great||
I'm pretty sure ||knights is last thing to get to unlock the black egg temple||
Also longnail is mid, just get closer
||Unbreakable greed before strength is crazy||
The mantis one
i wore them all and she took the first 2 now im broke

this and your last message both need tags
how many god dang ||lifebloods|| u got
K
i can get up to 20
Tags + "||sb is useless just walk forward||"
teach me your ways master
for ||radiance it really does do close to nothing||
||thk tho||
get those 3 ||lifeblood charms||, a bunch of ||mask fragments||, and ||a charm that gives 2 more normal hearts||
TRAIN ME IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS
if you're doing ||radince thk usually isn't a problem. You should focus your charms on radiance imo just like you focus your charms on the hardest boss in a pantheon||
Iâd do ||shaman, quickslash, soul gain increase||
||if I'm struggling on knights so much I dread to think about end game bosses||
Mmmh I feel like it's a case by case scenario ||1st time I reached radiance I can't really say thk was a non problem|| but I get what you mean
Which knights?
||Watcher||
Use ||wk abbreviation||
uh what r u using to get that many?
What you mean
ohhh its ||p5 hitless so u can get all coccoons||
ya in the end it comes down to preference ig 
||p5 is easy just say no to the bosses
||
||wk|| are one of the hardest bosses
Dw
Is it just my pov or is there no spoilers for the image
I've tried multiple times now
There is
I think there are
Ok good
Ffs I still lose
Shit
this is a screenshot from a YT video
Thank for this information 
Nu uh 
You mean a random person in the server didnât do ||p5|| hitless?
||I'm watching someone he 2 shot with flukes and the same charms I have yet I can't do that||
Wild
why so much lifeblood
Not hitless
Not even close
lots of ppl have and that wasnt the point
I can't beat them otherwise
||different patch probably. Also flukes are glitched so with the right setup they deal a lot more damage. Not really usable for casual players||
Unless speedrun
