what was it?
Eh
I'm missing ||durandoo gorgeous husk crystal crawler||
Then the other ||2 I'm missing probably in trial of fools||
do you know how to get those ones you're missing?
Basically tbh I don’t even understand these💀
I know ||crystal crawler but not the other||
Yeah I don't know which ones I'm missing either
||Crystal crawler are the ones who shoot beams right?||
Yeah
||durandoo is found in greenpath, i think it's the one that swims in acid|| ||gorgeous husk is in a hidden room in the big city of tears room to the left of kings station||
Alr do I kill them with ||magic?||
Yeah
Alr also the one that's in ||green path is duranda I think because it looks exactly like the ones that swim in acid||
should be, lemme double check
yup
I'm still missing a lot in my ||hunters journal|| but probably from ||dlc parts i.e godmaster||
I got ||all pantheon journal entries except for absrad||
Does ||AbsRad|| even have a separate entry
it does (i think) according to the wiki
i guess not
she doesnt
only normal ||rad||
Yeah makes sense
||the wiki said that both absrad and normal radiance count toward the radiance entry, makes sense||
yo congrats on ||radabsrad||
||Is it in the place with all the different rooms just outside kings station ||
yup
||I didn't seem to find anything unless it's in the hot spring because i didn't check there||
I'm gonna go check it tho
||Its in a room toward the top right||
||kind of where emilitia is but to the right of her||
I finished that like 3 weeks ago and told you 
I wish I could do moddedknight but i'm on console 
This room?
That's the only room top right
||not quite. The room would have a couple of the CoT husks, you can kill them and jump into the right wall. keep walking to the right to find G. Husk||
Ohhh
ye
It was the other room but ty
It was more top left
The room I was in was just for a ||grub ig||
It's good I still knew where it was
Ty
||Hello! I have just beaten the boss of green path, and I just began playing. I am supposed to head down right? I did go to some place called stone sanctuary, but uh, exploring it is kind of hard since it's pitch black||
Please spoiler tag your message
spoiler tag
/|/|text/|/|
oh lord
Ok!
tf xdd
||text||
Here
||But ye, don't go in there unless you have light to see better, just try exploring more in other areas||
||I did went to the west and used downward slash to bump across some pools of acid. But , to no use. I'll be heading downwards. That's where I'm supposed to go anyways, right?||
Does ||God tamer and the beast count as seperate things in the hunter book?||
||Like I said, just keep exploring, that's the appeal of metroidvania games like HK. You'll find something new everywhere||
nah
Damnit
Isn't that good? xd
||Also is beating the uh, the red dressed needle person on the first try good? lol||
No lol I need 2 more things in my ||hunter book and I thought that God tamer would count as 2😭||
Sure
It's good if you are happy with it
You can google a listn to see what's missing if you're struggling
||Before this I played mainly just Super Metroid or Blasphemous 1&2 haha||
||Right. Thanks I'll be going now to not deviate from the topic of the channel.||
||Does radiance count as one in hunter book? Because God tamer and radiance the only bosses I haven't beaten yet||
Of course ||radiance|| counts xd
You'll get the hang of it
||I'd say radiance is easier, though both have patterns you can easily get into after fighting them for a while||
Well my experience with ||radiance it's not so bad Ik I can get the hang of it but it's just the jumping to hit that messes me up ||
I need to spend the first 15 attempts just playing defense to learn it's patterns
not really, attack patterns are so easy to learn for ||nkg||
if he struggled on a boss with an easy pattern then ||rad|| will be hard
i think
anyway gl to him
It is, but || she tells you her name on that fight
I'm only saying this because there's some spots where character dialogue is what actually guides you forward
||
Skilled lmao
Ryn I see you have defeated ||pv and completed 112% ||congratulations!!
congrats!!
I have! Multiple times, until I beat ||P4|| first try
Thank you, thank you
Well, second try technically
We don’t count that ;p. First try ||p4|| gzzz
First one was only to ||unlock pure vessel in hog|| anyways, didn't even try 
Good luck, never give up!
Good luck with what? xd
||p5|| naturally
Uhhhh
Comonnn remember first try doesn’t count 
Never give up! Never give up!
Well.. Technically it should be doable, apart from ||absrad||obv
I’ll be here when you first try it
Maybe someday, need a break for now 
That would be insane
That’s fair, you’ve already accomplished a lot 
Oh yeah stella I need to update my name now
Congrats 
You have completed the first two steps of becoming a mod in this server
What?
All you need is
No remorse for mod abusing
And a certain degree of trigger happiness
Is no lifing hollow knight not a criteria?
OH MY GOD CONGRATULATIONS

Welcome to club 
No that loses you points actually
Any tips for || gpz in p3 ||
How do I kill the ||watcher knights|| 😭
A lot of ||practise in hall of gods, and taking the fight slow and steady, better to take a bit longer but keep your health||
First time fighting ||them?||
Whats clue?
Nope
game
Yes I'm trying in || hall of gods but i still can't beat him ||
Where you at then? ||Cuz something like sharp shadow is very useful to dash through the spinning phase and deal extra damage||
Eh I skipped a lot of good things ig
And don't even have that yet
If you have other things to do beforehand, or wanna upgrade more and get new ||charms|| go for that, will definitely make it easier
Never give up! Never give up!
Hm, ||perhaps you dont need to suggest that there could be another location that you fight them later on...|| Dont click this ESA
u right
Send inventory
||you could try swapping your loadout for Quick slash, Shaman Stone and Grubsong imo|| 
this would make the fight a bit easier
|| use shaman stone,quick slash and grubsong or soul catcher ||
||soul catcher is 2 charms, he can't equip it|| 
|| oh mb ||
its ok dw
Okay so this is good enough to get it if you try a lot, but || watcher knights || are a big step up in difficulty from previous enemies
|| First of all, there's a secret passage right before the arena, at the top, that you can break to drop a chandelier on one of the watcher knights ||
|| Try using shaman soul catcher spell twister and spamming spells at them (you can use dive to become immune to their rolling if they corner you, and if you get behind them on the rolling attack you can hit them many times with vengeful spirit because they'll roll with it) ||
|| If you feel like they are still too hard just go explore other areas, they definitely are and you've still to find masks and pale ore and charms and other stuff that'd help you a lot, watcher knights only guard the spire after all ||
|| Sad, I also did an oopsie with my recommendation then || 
|| without soul catcher it should still be doable, but my point of them being pretty hard at first stands anyways, charm notches are another thing that you could look for more, Salubra probably has one that she'll sell you if you find just a few more charms after all ||
no it's ok, your charm loadouts explanation is more precise than mine 
Usually this build is very good for offense but it can differ from one boss to another, thus here ||spells-based build on watcher knights is incredibly good||!
|| How do i kill God Tamer ||
depends, wich attack of his are u struggling with?
|| the rolling ||
Also (this one is a spoiler for you snitee, don't open) || not having any spell upgrade hurts a lot their chances, but of course I can't really hint that those exist, neither talk about shade dash which is the best thing ever for watcher knights tomfoolery
||
|| jump up, then when it hits the wall (either you'll see them or hear the cue) dash away, they already locked into your previous position and will fall there, you can hit them then or hit the tamer to get soul to use spells on it
You don't have to kill the tamer, only the beast needs to die and she'll stop fighting too ||
Btw || charms || is one of the words that need to be spoiler marked 
||for rolling, i'd suggest trying to keep some soulf, and then use your dive spell to get some invicibility frames, wich will allow u to dodge his attack better and eventually deal some additional damage
You could also make sure u can see him on ur screen or hear him, and when he starts rolling, jump, pogo him then stay in place, and dash away when he hits the wall. Use this precious time to take some soul of the tamer itself (this guy ->
) ||
False
Charms isn’t a spoiler
yeah, ||pretty sad, so if they're struggling a lot, the best thing to do is get back to them when they finish exploring more|| 
ya

I just assume absolutely everything is, even the dumb stuff you find right after opening your inventory
|| also tbh unless you look around in kingdom's pass the first charm can easily be soul catcher which is later than the first spell so it felt like spoiler worthy ||
i see 
does any1 knnow how to get past there?
you can't here, you gotta take a detour
this unlocks from another area
alr ty
yw!
So have you been ||to the far right of dirtmouth||?
If you find something to open the ||simple lock, someone inside will be willing to accept your eggs||...
yes
Can you send a picture of your map
So rn I wouldn't say you really need to grind, ||the npc just summons your shade from a part of the map in exchange for a rancid egg||
but if you do want to, ||the moss soldiers in greenpath are quite good for geo||
pro tip, its not exactly a linear game from where you are
so just explore to the edges of the game
maybe you'll find something interesting
Should I kill everything in ||Spirits' glade|| and just try to run for my life ? Lol
have u got ||right side city?||

Up to you ||while revek can be defeated, it’s not easy||
oh mb
Also you don’t get a lot of ||essence from the spirits ||anyways, 1 per, and imo ur time is much better spent elsewhere
||Through the gate that stops u from going right of the hollow knight memorial||
What if I kill all of them tho ? ||He only appears once I hit one of them with my dream nail and I can come back and the ones that I killed aren't there anymore||
I used ||joni's blessing|| so I can kill more of em at once <3
alr then, ||have you defeated the boss on city of tears?||
Nothing rly happens lol, u just now have more ||essence||, that’s why I think it’s a waste
||
If you do manage to do it though, you can get ||revek|| at the very end, he won’t fight back
||19 whole essence||
I marked the ones that could be a spoiler, hm ?
Ooh nice, I'll do that then
idk names never seem to be an issue here
worth
^yea do not rly worth ur time lol, ur better off doing the ||roots/dream bosses|| if u want ||essence||
Is there any way to kill ||God tamer easier, I can't beat them in pantheon 3 without losing 7 masks of my 8||
Though ig it’s something to do lol
||dive for when it rolls, pogo it when it spits acid||
Are you getting hit by anything in particular
Alr ty, didn't know it existed ||until pantheon lol||
You could go for that, ||it gives good geo if ur in need||
dont you have to do ||god tamer for p3||???
||no, it auto does for you and you get statue after encountering it in p3||
does the same go for ||oblobbles||?
no
strange
||Lucky though, I hate colo3||
Oh rly, could have sworn there was
i mean it kinda makes sense
bit of a difficulty spike between ||colo2 and 3||
oh yeah have you done ||eternal ordeal (57)||?
||fr, I farm colo2 for money and it's so easy yet colo3 is annoying as hell||
but ||godhome|| isnt a spike 
can you still ||dupe kills for that ||
dont think so
eh it’s easier than ||colo3 imo||
Not yet 😔, I’ve done before but not sure how far I got
||radiant markoth 😭||
Maybe tonight I will
Light work tbh /s
you need ||the legendary background||!!!
true
i haven’t done ||colo2 in a while (it’s a percent oh no)|| but it’s a great money grind
Facts, I must commemorate the greatest warrior
I'm pretty bad ||at bosses which I didn't kill until hollow knight||
its all in the hk experience tbh
Sorry I was joking lol
||with nail masters and shaman it takes like 3mins to do and gives 2k||
That’s boss sucks, ||radiant|| is genuinely very difficult
spoilers....
nice
I need some charm advice for ||the section of Pantheon 5 with Soul Tyrant, Markoth, FC, and NKG||. I'm currently using ||Strength, Heart, Mark of Pride, and Quickslash|| and getting to ||Markoth - usually past there but only on 1-hit and die immediately to FC because I tend to come in too aggressive||. I know that ||Shaman Stone|| is meta, but what should I take out for it if I use it?
||sharp shadow can help with failed champion specifically ||
switch ||MoP for shaman stone and heart for nailmasters and steady body or dream wielder||
no
I was thinking of switching up to ||Strength, Slash, Stone, Twister||, but I'm worried I'll be punished by ||NKG|| for not having a ||lengthening charm||
||at any rate heart and mop are definitely not needed there||
Awh :c
I killed all of them with the ||dream nail and the guy I saw at the beginning is gone, I can't fight him ?||
for ||FC play aggressive with qs until hes knocked down. then dnail for soul and spam spells to get him down again||
which guy
no you can’t actually fight him
||you can go kill him with dream nail tho||
That's what I try lol, but I always get hit haha
||luckily, nkg is very consistent if you practice a bit||
||Spirits' Glade||
||revek will only fight if there are spirits to protect, if there aren’t any, he won’t fight||
||revek||
yeah you can't actually fight him
awee :c
I mean you can ||dodge and parry him||
and ||die to him||...
Lol
I think actually the meta is ||sharp shadow|| believe it or not lol
You can hit and dodge him at the same time
OMG AFTER WONDERING HOW TO GET IT FOR SO LONG I GOT THE ||PALE ORE||
Didn't know it was so easy aa
Bruhh
||ss|| is ass lmaao
Now which ||stag do I take to upgrade my nail||
you go to ||CoT||
I mean for|| revek ||specifically lol, u can get a hit in to delay him
||West side of city of tears whatever one is closest to there||
what about ||baldur and thorns||
wait hes ||invulnerable|| rght
Thankss
||thorns requires taking damage and is slow, bshell requires soul and breaks ||
not if you time it
wdym not if you time it
It just makes it super easy to hit him cause yk, u just ||dash||, no crazy timing required
Admittedly I’ve never done it lol
But ig ||ss|| could be used for movement to quickly take the ||spirits|| out
This is all conjecture from my end
if you quickly activate it it barely drains at all
but it still breaks
||4 hits|| is always something
How many hits is the ||dung defender|| ?
What boss should i do on radiant, i just did ||pure vessel||
||depends on what you're attacking with, assuming no damage upgrades and no spells 140||
||I have 163 in my hunters journal, (Not completed but entries) But I always see people having 164, I can't figure out whats missing||
||pretty sure theres an entry for doing p5 with all bindings(not simultaneously), you might be missing that one||
I dont think so, im pretty sure that only needs enemies
Uh
||Thank fucking god xd If I had to do P5 with bindings for platinum I'd cry||
exploring
:3
||its behind an easy to miss breakable wall btw, keep an eye out||
||with nail 2 its only 62 hits, faster with spells/charms||
||I didnt say that originally because I didnt know if youd found nailsmith or not||
are you fine with the location name?
location name being like ||dirtmouth||, ||forgotten crossroads||, ||greenpath||
||the text that shows up when you first go there||
Pssht, its in hallownest
le gasp
if you want location name its in ||howling cliffs||
itll help a bunch once you find where that is
instead of being all hallownest its just a couple screens
Just killed ||menderbug|| feeling good

be careful with that please 
Theres a near´t tutorial called "practise"

sorry xd
do u mind showing ur charms loadout please?
||The soul warrior?||
It's all business, no harsh feelings
The tides have shifted in the sign post wars
i see, are these all ur available charms?
An.. interesting build
show inventory please?
alright, ||best to keep dashmaster and steady body for boss fights, and remove steady body with compass for exploring then||!
Make sure to collect more during ur playthrough, as they're surprisingly useful 
yw, good luck!!
||Is the only way to farm mimic entries the colosseum?||
||you missed a charm in the place where you got the spell||
||i mean, there are enough mimics in the world to get hunter's notes
but yeah you can farm them in colo||
then use that instead
||grub mimics? nope, there are quite a few in the whole map but colo can make it more efficient||
||Are there really? I'm missing two xd Must have been blind then||
||there are 5 on the map, and infinite in colo||
against what
I believe he means ||soul warriors||
Fits the description I think
uh yeah probably
dude
how did you manage to get there
no like how did you survive
||spells will make it somewhat less painful||
please tag ||spell||
||Hey, VS is nice but healing is just as useful.||
please don't try to find loopholes and tag your prior messages
(You used the word two times, tag both)
Just tag everything that players may not have seen yet
You should read the pins of this channel for that. Everything is explained there
Pretty much lol
how do i get to the ||pleasure house in city of tears? i only had one simple key, used it on the sewers, unlocked the other side of the city using those. idk where to go next for millibelle since im trying to retrieve my money||
||Theres a few keys scattered through hallownest, just keep exploring and you'll find one||
||There isn't a time limit on when to retrieve your money||
yeah im aware, ||ive completed the game before, im just trying to buy stuff so i need the money lol, im assuming i need more keys then?||
||i can get one from Sly rn, but how do i get to the entrance of pleasure house?||
||Well, yeah||
||It's on the right side of the city of tears, in the outside area||
||Theres just a door that requires a normal simple key||
i just cant seem to find it 😭
A pic to help if you need it
||on the bottom layer of the eastern side of the city, i can only see 1 room with purple flowers around it and its opened, so is the entrance on the upper platforms||
OH
thank you so much! took me so so long
np xd
If I damage both ||obloblles|| at the same time with ||spells|| will that make the second faze easier
||Well, if you kill one the second one will get a health boost, but if you kill both at the same time there wont be a second phase||
can you even do that?
||Gonna be nearly impossible tho xd||
In theory
Ok so if I’m not perfect there’s no point trying to kill both
fair
There is a point, ||If you damage both the second one wont be full health in the second phase, just a slight health boost||
Oh ok thx
So it'll still be easier to target ||both||
Now to take forever to get back there
You got this
Thx
||The oblobble fight is a pain in the a*s tho fr x||
||my shadow is lost?||
HAHA I was just doing ||collo 2 for mimic entries|| and I actually managed to kill ||Both oblobbles at the same time||
?
fr?
It can spawn in a different location than where you died
So theory proven
Yes hjahaha
||I died and searched the entire area, i dont see it anywhere||
ima try that right now but in the ||hall of gods|| i dont wanna go all the way there
Where are you?
||your shade should be marked on the map||
for reference ||i was in city of tears eastern side the big area with lots of doors||
||It's actually really easy if you just concentrate on hitting both equal and then shriek||
yeah makes sense
Funn
||i was actually standing on the exact location of my shade on map, didnt see it||
And I died before even reaching the ||gruzzers||
||or if you use dash slash exclusively||
ugh, ||nail arts||
Idk then
||ooookay you could just use jiji||
xd
i havent played hollow knight in a while this is gonna be kinda hard
I hate them lol I never use them
||Oblobbles|| are a pain xd
ill check out how that works
||the shade mark on your map only shows the room the shade is in. It doesn't mark the exact location. You can turn up your volume and look around in the room that is marked on the map.||
||Just spam the scream for oblobbles ||
Did you unlock her yet?
There is, the || health boost is just 100, and they have 260 max HP (their HP can't go above 300 tho, so if you do kill one without hitting the other you end up having to deal less damage overall, it's just that you're still dealing with a full hp obbloble)
So lowering both close to 1 HP and killing one means you can almost oneshot the other with a shaman's howling wraiths ||
oh alright ill try again
||nope, jus realised i dont even have the money for a simple key anymore lmao||
||which room did you die in?||
||tips on the false knight fight? i keep dying||
Yeah, you need a ||simple key|| to get to ||jiji|| too xd That's why I'm asking
There's not really much to him, || just walk below him when he jumps at you and keep your distance when he jumps back, he can only do the shockwave attack when he's jumped back at least once, never right after when he's jumping towards you ||
||yeah ty, i found the shadow lol||
||alr ill try again tmr thanks||
Btw, || if you still feel like you can't beat him tomorrow, the leftmost wall will be softened by him slamming the ground repeatedly after you first make him fall on the ground, you can break it and leave, then come back a bit later when you feel like you have better stuff to work with ||
|| he does drop something when you do beat him, so don't forget about him either! ||
||He has two main attacks. One where he jumps at you and hits the ground with his mace and one where he hits the ground without jumping which creates a shockwave that you need to jump over.
- If he jumps in your direction with the mace above his head always try to walk under him. That attack won't create a shockwave so don't worry.
- If he doesn't jump and charges an attack with his mace keep a distance and get ready to jump over the shockwave.
If you start early enough you should be able to heal in between each one of his attacks. You don't get soul by hitting his armor though so make sure you enter the fight with full soul.
This will still take practice and time though so good luck!||
i have a ||wayward compass bought from the shop🗣️||
|| Most broken charm
||
That can make later stuff in the game and is generally meant to be for speed runs. It's hidden for a reason so try not to spoil it to people. If they just skip this fight they're gonna end up struggling even more with the next one
thanks
I agree
Read next message 
||ong
||
You missed my point
I actually beat || p5 with js a compass, for context this is a joke I haven't even tried p5||
hah, humerous
Anyone know how to send pics with /spoiler some reason it doesn't work
There's a command for that, idk what it is
just add the pic and click the little eye buttom above

That's the one
I did not, I just think your point is wrong (this one is a spoiler for you lunse, don't open it), || vengeful spirit makes the fight so much easier if you enter with full soul, and city's crest is used 2 whole zones later. Telling them to suck it and get good now is completely unnecessary when it's not even going to help them, since Hornet is a completely different fight and she will beat their asses anyways ||
Ty yall
@topaz moth
yw
What exactly do you need help with?
Okay why haven't you
it's fun
||soul master||
||im doing steel soul for the first time any tips or tricks for it||
Hm
I'm actually also doing it, don't play aggressive, if you don't have to fight a boss, don't fight it
And if you end up on 1/2 masks, save quit then reload to avoid losing ur run
dont die
And that
Fr rule 1 don't die
|| do all the sidetracking you may need then some, and keep things calm and simple, you can get a mask as soon as crossroads with some geo farming without fighting brooding mawlek if you don't feel safe enough in Hornet fight, also if you ever start getting low outside a fight, probably backtrack instead of yoloing to your death ||
Safety over speed, just play safe and ||try getting all upgrades||
ok ill try that i just like to fight em for rewards
If the fight isn't mandatory, wait until you have the appropriate upgrades
And most of all, GOOD LUCK
||The wall is hidden for a reason. It's not meant to be found by players on their first playthrough since it literally skips the first boss functioning as a tutorial. If they find it by accident that's fine but if it was unasked for and you tell them about it that's a spoiler and you shouldn't tell them about it||
Don't be like me, || I lost my first 5 steel souls to rushing like a madman and dying to otherwise non dangerous stuff because apparently 5 mask watcher knights is a bit too much ||
like i can do ||mawlek|| no abilitys so like is it worth for the free thing
Ok ||colo 2|| done turns out ||wayward compass and and empty charm slot|| isn’t the best build lol
||any tips on soul master||
Spoiler tags for charms
||stay in one corner|| seems to usually be pretty helpful
Hey now no savescum apologia here 
||try to get fragile strength and maybe also fragile greed as quickly as possible. Other than that just what the other people said: Over prepare for anything and play safe. You can get a full additional mask even before leaving crossroads. Stiff like that or strong charms should be your priority||
Dont atk during the ||he moves and 4 things circle him atk|| because at least for me I always take more dmg then I do
||I have to go to the bug guy to get it fixed||
||yeah ill do vengefly skip for that mask shard i just did mawlek ill do 5 grubs then buy 2 from sly so ill get my 6th mask before greenpath||
||I attack all the time on that part||
I mean ||fragile charms|| help a lot
Ok then I just had a skill issue
yeah i plan on buying all 3
That just removes the difficulty of the challenge 
||be patient and don't rush towards him as soon as he teleports somewhere. Make sure you know which attack is coming, how to avoid it and then if there is still time you can try to deal some damage. The orbs that follow you are best dodged by dashing under them instead of jumping over which is a common mistake. If possible try to dash or walk underneath and they will hit the ground and disappear.
You can easily heal during staggers and when he flies across the screen with orbs circling him. If you have access soul use it for a vengeful spirit||
That message wasn't directed at you
is getting every ||geo rock for extra geo worth?||
||while I would agree fragile strength would be good here, it may be detrimental to use during this fight if your are learning and dying alot||
Since you pinged me I felt like that was a direct reply to my message so I thought you mistook it for a response to you
||Where can I find lightseeds
||
If you need it yeah 
im just thinking so i can buy extra things like ||charms and mask shards||
What's that
(|| journal stuff?||)
it definitely doesn't hurt in the early game. Though lategame there are usually much better option and it doesn't make a big difference anymore
||looking at your charms, I would say dashmaster can be replaced with soul catches, this gives you more soul allowing for more healing, shaman stone is ok if but while learning most of ur soul is spent healing||
go to where you fought ||broken vessel and go to his arena they should pop up ||
||Little funky guys for journal||
||what are staggers||
or theres a room in ||crossroads that spawns em its just above milas room||
||when the boss stops for a second and takes a break, usually giving you time to heal||
OH STAGGERS
||for soul master, you will need to prioritize being patient and healing when you can, like staggers or long attacks, like when he’s moving across the arena in the area with balls surrounding him||
Ik the word srry
Huh, do the ones near the || mawlek area before broken vessel || not count?
I got the fighting part down
they do
||any charm tops?||
Remains
Tips*
can you send an image of the ones that you have?
Great, then that's your place to go @sudden kindle
I didn't see any in ||vessels|| area
Oh that’s good for ||charms, replace dash mater with soul catcher||
best place is just above ||mila where you go to fight the husk guard for the grub ad you go up snd to the left like 10 drop down from the celinhz||
And u should be peachy if you stay consistent with attacking and dodging
||they disappear after you beat bv||
Okay then yeah this one
But ||you can find them in crossroads after that||
That if doing some heavy lifting 
thats how i found em
||dashmaster is pretty bad. Shaman stone is great so keep that. Instead of dashmaster I'd use soul catcher. If you really like vengeful spirit spell twister is better though||
either way you should try and use ||your spell as much as possible||
I'm more a nail person
Where is the ||hive||
Alrighty! Found it
||I also have 6 masks||
Thx 
||sadly early on there are only good spell charms. So try to get used to spells or just accept that you won't have many good charms for now except for like soul catcher for healing||
yeah just walk in and out of the room and they respawm
||it's hidden behind a breakable wall. If you want a more direct hint can you send an image of your map and inventory?||
Great 
Like nonsenf said ||you don’t really have good nail charms yet, and soul catcher will help you live with 6 masks||
||or I can go to mantis and beat mantis lords and get the mantis charm||
got the ||entry|| thx :3
np
@shut sparrow
||that one isn't very good either but early game it helps. You just need to make sure you don't get too used to it because it quickly gets overshadowed by many other charms. If you are using spells then shaman is insanely strong so imo try to get used to that but play the way you want||
You should || best fight in the game || 
||theres another way into edge you haven’t found yet||
||you'll need to explore some deepnest||
No it's ok
||alright i got 6th mask in crossroads can i get 7 before soul master is that possible or||
Ima try no pls Don't tag me
Ok why do I need ||tranpass||
||because it's necessary to enter the hive||
Good luck Leon
||you can do almost the whole game before soul master so yes||
Mmmm... I think it isn't?
even in ||steel soul?||
Iirc you cap out at 7 ||shards||
||steel soul doesn't change anything||
now i think abt it you dont really need ||dive for much|| i can just farm for ||lantern||
…why does ||soulmaster|| make that not needed?
you don't even need to farm that much. Just pick up some ||relics||
|| dive gives you a new entrance to crystal peak ||
fair ima be exploring slot anyways so ill find some along the way
Yeah but ||relics||
It really isn’t hard to afford ||lantern||
At what point does missing || the best spell || become a hindrance over just getting it 
i wanna get ||7 masks before soul master||
I’d rather go fight ||soul master|| then interact with ||lemm’s ||shop menu frfr
so i am gonna come back after for it
Real
@shut sparrow oh wait is it that one ||shade dash wall||
Yes I have 30 ||relics || to sell you and yes I would like to be forced to click through 10 dialogue boxes for each one thank you ||lemm||
||in Kingdom's edge? No, that's something else. But you can check that out as well. There is really no need for you to go to hive rn||
No the one in the beginning of ||deepnest||
Yeah I'm just saying || of course you can get 7 masks before soul master by virtue of also being able to finish the game without beating him, but aside from the first seven shards (unless I'm forgetting another one that's accessible without opening the locked door in city of tears or buying lumafly and doing half an entire zone too) it requires more and more sidetracking and deviations ||
i just wanna over prepare cause i suck at that boss fight
If you're willing to do skips or get geo for a zone entrance you 100% can get it
||if you mean whether that where tram pass is, no.||
No, though that’s also something you could explore
100% get it || soul sanctum || sucks until you're very comfortable 
When he’s|| slamming down ||on you?
|| soul master? ||
Spoiler 
He spams that
Ye
|| he will stop if you survive a bit longer ||
||dodge dodge dodge, hit when he’s stationary, don’t be greedy, may not be one down||
alright ill start grinding ||geo||
|| during the slamming just jump when he spawns then dash after you are a bit off the ground, not much or he'll hit you, if he does a fake out you'll have time to touch ground and dash again ||
||instead of just dashing to avoid the attack, jump and then dash midair. That was you'll avoid the big hitbox on the ground and be less likely to get hit. Make sure you only do small jumps though, or he might get you with a fake out||
If you’re really struggling explore a bit more, there’s something semi hard to find that’s extremely helpful
Wait that’s actually a good idea guys lol, I’ve never done that xdddd
SO NO PINGS ON TO THE SECOND PHASE
No hints?
||it’s just off greenpath||
You might already have it, I’m not sure
||i assume wraiths? i mean he can access with claw||
||I have spell twister btw||
Just wait for the (Leon don't read) || jumping and slashing upwards then dashing then wings to turn around and slash again while he comes down || strats 
It’s not on the ||charms screen||
fast strat is funny i love doin in
I'll try
Good luck 
Yea I do that now for some checky extra hits, but when I was learning I just spammed ||dash ||like hell and it works lol
trial and error it is
Also yall just pinged him 3 times with ur replies lol
Yeah it is definitely not something to || recommend for a first kill lol, that's why I told him not to read ||
That can be turned off
i didnt ping in mine only you did @topaz moth
No
I DIED
Hey now don't ping them
IM SO BAD

Compare:
That means no ping
He took me a while too, persevere or explore other places, you're already very close 
so does everyone in fights trace back get more items etc and come back no biggie man honestly
How do you change that
Shift click the reply button or click the blue reply symbol at the right of the reply bar
i would say i struggled but id be lying i first tried every boss in my first playthrough
Ty guys I am enlightened
?noping (I have no clue if this'll work)
||where is the thing?||
It didn't, sad
||just off greenpath||
It's on the sender to change that, not on the receiver
?tag noping
chat i have to make a very difficult decision do i leave ||zote to die||
Nah
Free geo
||so in fog?||
If you want to 
tyty<3
It's your playthrough
i dont wanna fight that guy bro big guy is difficult to kill
Upside: the morally correct decision
Downside: you miss out on some content
Sort of
i dont wanna fight the absolute unit later man honestly
Get good
|| (you can live him to die he doesn't do anything and it's only 60 geo)||
Screen shot?
I don’t remember exactly where it is but you can’t get there from ||fog||
Um Ok?
I’m not too opposed to the fight so I save the little guy
|| gpz is not mandatory at all for essence and he also doesn't end you steel soul run because dream boss ||
Anyway bye yall

yeah but thing is i save him dont i need to get him for ||godhome|| if i save him then go there
YALL ARE SO NICE😢😢😢
You can || leave him to rot in deepnest ||
Nevermind I’m wrong it’s through ||fog||
oh fr?
hell yeah stay there with those creatures im condemning him to an even worse fate than if i leave him
I found it in a super weird way in my playthrough, completely forgot where it was
As long as you don't || defeat him in Myla's house he won't appear in godhome ||
||also is grabbing every grub worth it for early pale ore into nail upgrades||
Yeah
You're gonna do so anyways for geo and || mask shards||

fights done
alright now time to skip ||claw|| and grind for ||charms and charm notches||
||bretta||
||once i beat fungal ogres for 6th notch is shaman steady body wayward and gathering swarm a decent build for general travel/grinding||
||sorry 5th notch i meant shaman gathering swarm wayward||
||imo avoid compass if you can, otherwise you’ll just get lost when you don’t have it||
i know the map just not where i am on it and i like to have reference
Yeah that’s fine early but make an effort to not use it at least occasionally and work out where you are without it
Otherwise you’ll get lost much more easily if you don’t have it
yeah but why when i can have it equipped always its only 1
Trust me that one ||notch|| can be so much better used once you can find where you are without it
||for general travelling anything works. To be a little safer shaman is good but the rest really doesn't matter that much||
I’d still much rather have something like ||twister|| over ||compass plus swarm||
Of course ideally id have ||twister and swarm||
im traveling not fighting majority of the time
bro i just started this run i aint even got ||claw||
i aint got no ||dream wielder nevermind dream nail||
now i ||have claw||
now to grind to 1800 for my thingy to get to the purple place whos name i forgor
||Where can I find regular gruzzers past infection? xd||
|| claw is free tho ||
||according to the wiki, the room before mawlek||
||Thank god they respawn when reentering the room and not with a bench xd Would have been a painful back and forth x3 Thank you kind goblin!||
Ok I got ||give blood and a mask shard|| so I don’t have to go to ||the hive|| again right nothing I missed
|| some grubs iirc||
||1, a second one technically but only from a different entrance, a small extra room||
So yeah, ||grub||
Ok I found the ||grub|| so I never have to go back to this hell hole
Well unless you’re doing ||journal||
Oh mighty goblin, can your wisdom reveal to me where ||leaping husks|| spawn ||post infestion|| too

(I’m literally just checking the wiki but sure)
||there is one in crossroads||
There’s 3 in the ||big room in howling cliffs||
||bottom right of the room under the stag station||
||and iirc, the room with the vessel fragment also has some||
There’s a couple more in other spots but that seems like the best one for efficiency
I was gonna say this one would be best cuz ||bench reset|| but ||post infestion the way down is blocked xd||
For reference I’m checking here ||https://hollowknight.wiki/w/Leaping_Husk#Location||
I thank thou, oh mighty goblin
||storerooms stag bench?||
Already got it in ||howling cliffs with the nailmasters bench||
Ty anyways :3
But ||post infection you can still grind the room left of elevator ||
I'll remember if I ever ||complete journal|| again, so never xd
Where do I get Mod Installer 2? coundn't find it on modding-help (i may be stoopid)
There’s more in the ||cliffs|| room
I would ask on modding help - more people there are familiar with mods
Can someone explain why my ||journal went up by one after beating radiance? I was 153/155 now it's 154/156||
||hollow knight radiance or the harder radiance?||
||Hollow knight one||
||I think you unlocked either hollow knight entry or radiance entry or something else. Scroll to bottom of journal and look for blue dot it indicates a new entry||
Before posting a question there was a video with a tutorial 💀
Thanks my man
No problem I
It added ||hollow knight and radiance and the only thing I had left before radiance was God tamer but now there's something new||
||have you unlocked the golden dream area yet?||
||godhome??||
Yeah just making sure I’m not spoiling it if you don’t know yet
I have|| 106% complete I was just trying to finish journal that's why I fought radiance ||
Nice
I'm just confused on why it went up by one when all I had after ||radiance was God tamer||
don't some things not count
Wdym
||Without spoiling anything, let’s just say that you will see the radiance again||
I'm so done man
Not really
Mhm
Alr I'm gonna see how much this thing is gonna make me hate myself
I haven’t even finished ||p3 yet because GPZ can go FUCK himself ||
I still haven't beat any of the ||pantheons or done trial of fools||
That's literally all I have left and journal
I can’t really give ||pantheon tips but if you want some tips on trial 3… ||
||I've tried the first pantheon and it's easy til the end and I'm assuming all of them are like that...||
I'm sure once I get to the higher ones it's gonna be much harder then ||radiance||
||excluding the fifth one (not required for 112), that’s how they are mostly. Obviously at p3 and p4 the bosses aren’t jokes until the end, but general idea||
Ah ok I thought I needed the fifth one for plat but thankfully not I'm sure I'm gonna do it in the future tho same with ||path of pain||
Right now tho my only goal is platting
oh you arr on PlayStation… erm…
So funny story
Oh no
Wait what
The trophy says achieve 112% game completion and finish the game
Not the plat but one of the trophys does
Wait I went into ||godhome but there wasnt radiance or the hollow knight there but they are in my book||
they arent in there
u can already ||infinitely fight then in the black egg as well||
Oh ok
If I ||get 100% completion in steel soul mode under 20 hours and beat the game, can I get speed completion, steel soul and steel heart achievements atll9in one playthrough?||
i beliee so
yes
Yeah
i think thats what i did
You can also || die 9 hours in
||
but thats a skill issue tbh
Not snail because I was gonna add something extra 
i lost my first steel soul attempt to ||colo 3||
I was scared of this until I realised it's optional
Mine was a || sub-4 hours finishing deepnest with shade dash and all other skills and I died to the big spider sticking 80% of its body out of its platform and sniping me on the adjacent one
)
||
you need it for ||112%||
Then I got tilted going for || speed 2 + SS || for a few tries and dropped it then next time I just did a || calmer 20 hour 100% run instead ||
Do you see the percentage in my name buddy
That's not an achievement tho (||in steel soul||)
I'm the goat okay of course I know that
yea but im not some bitch that doesnt finish everythign in ||steel soul||
I don't see an R behind that 5 there 
(elitism moment)
That is why you succumbed to the same fate as the rest of the ||Colosseum's|| contestants, fool.
||Rantheon 5||
You right my bad
i rather be a fool than a cheat
Yeah 
(||Colo too!||)
though no disrepsct to anyone that doesnt want to complete ||colo on steel soul||, elitism is not a good look
As soon as we get elitist it just feels like general many such cases
Honestly I might try it once I'm done with ||speed completion||
The biggest chokepoint would be ||colo3|| right
Yeah
you should get like everyting before doing it, its honestly like top 5 hardest content in the game imo
i was a fool and thought i could do it wihtout ||full masks||
It's || top 1 where dying actually kills you ||
couldn't you just save & quit when getting close to dying
Boooooring
Honestly I'd have an easier time beating ||P5|| than ever attempting ||colo3||
that would make me worse than a fool
i would agree if it was just the ||base forms of all the bosses|| since they have ||upgraded areans|| and there a bunch of ||no healing bossess back to back to back near the end|| id say its approrpirately difficult
Now I'm elitist
||you can heal on any boss||
good job
The hardest part is || all the bullshit easy fights you gotta go through to get to the actually challenging part ||
u can heal there
Where
(no || shape of Unn/baldurs cheese|| )
me and nonsenf are referring to charmless
what i mean is towards the end there are|| bosses that either hit 2 masks and/or attack frequently that make healing while staying consistent and not immedielty taking damage again difficult|| though yes, not impossible
Where are you healing while || he's bouncing at you at Mach 17 || 
i fucking hate ||marmu|| i stg
Real
i will punt that bitch across ||the garden||
during the delay/no teleport animations, or just from decent maneuvering
||it's true that the later bosses are harder to deal with and offer less healing windows but all of them still have at least 1 or 2, most of them even more windows where you can easily take your time and heal||
Ok so just praying really hard he won't hit you 
its 100% consistent so no


true, ||i think i was thinking mainly about the soul tyrant, markoth, gpz,fc,nkg back to back to back shit; i feel everythign after soul tyrant, you can heal maybe, once or twice per||
||fc|| is the saving grace though tbf
Yeah those || last 2 splits are the hardest by far ||
forgot you can just cheese him while downed lol
for me, I grinded on ||NKG|| and ||PV|| so much I could do them with my eyes closed so my worries were silenced once I downed ||Failed Champion.|| Majority of the ||bosses|| I struggled with were ||White Defender|| and ||Markoth||, and ||Uumuu|| and ||Winged Nosk||, for which, the concerns for the first 2 were put to sleep when I discovered ||bouncing White Defender in the air|| and knowing that I could be as reckless as I wanted because the ||fight after Markoth|| is one that I can ||heal to full health during the first stagger.|| The other 2, ||Uumuu|| sucks and so does ||Winged Nosk|| and I would rather beat them poorly and complain about it than actually learn their fights.
at that point just tag the whole message
so true
I know I just wanted to see if it would work
^^at a glance this looks like those mobile games where there piano keys you have to tap LOL
It's like an advent calendar for you all
Open one tagged message for every day of Christmas
Everybody say thankyou .

not trying to be an ass, im just currious ||what made uumuu ||challenging for you?
Does anyone know where the FUCK my shade is? I've had this happen MULTIPLE times and lost thousands of geo coz of this bullshit.
||the shade icon on your map only marks the room that you died in, not the exact location. So check out the whole room and turn up your volume to listen for the shade music||
It was just an unwelcome shift from ||just dodging the lumaflies and waiting for quirrel to do his thing, to Actually positioning uumuu so that I could hit the jellyfish at it , or even just redirect them at her. I'm not that good yet,||
honestly fair
infi
||quirrel my beloved||
I spent a solid 3 hours in ||HoG|| practicing ||ascended uumuu|| before my first ||P5|| attempt, and I just couldn't get it
||ended up dying to her too||
It used to be a chokepoint for me but now it's just annoying
my desktop wall paper is the ||blue lake|| scene with him 🥰, hes the best
real fart.
real fart. how could you do this to my beloved
I would so do this if I had a PC
I could probably do that in my Xbox Actually
I would just have to deal with the UI in the top left because I don't think you can drop images on an Xbox
common console L, cant set ||queirell|| as background /s
I don't like to use vain words. I like to drink water every day and play with my toys.
real fart .
play toys with me.
||spoiler tags, "blue lake"||
Anyone know why ||white defender hasn't showed up yet? I went to the place I defeated dung defender and his body isn't here for me to dream nail||
||you need to progress with the story further. Once you've done most of the main story he will appear||
I have 106% what more of the story do I need to do?
3rd attempt, i got it after equipping ||shap of unn || lol, going gonna try to go further
Are the ||pantheons required for him to show up?||
your % doesn't tell that much about your story progress. ||You need to visit all of the dreamers in order for hin to appear||
no
I've done all of them I'm pretty sure
he isn't found in his arena, but in a secret area
||go to the lever after his arena, then dive directly below it||
Ty man
||For max journal do you need to get all the zote things||
||Like do you need to kill the things zote spawn because I only have winged zotelings not the other ones tho||
do you want a list of the commonly missed ones?
I completed all of them
The only thing I can think of that I'm missing is ||God tamer||
I'm good thanks tho
they do
at least i think, since the rest of ||colo is needed||
I think ur right
||p4||
also add spoiler to ||pv|| and ||godhome|| please
Sorry could u please show me how
||like this||
How do i get ||p4?||
||beat p1-3||
Edit these messages to include spoiler tags
Oh thanks
||you also have to have beaten all the required bosses||
Oh like in the base game right?
yea
||Guys, I’m at 230 ish essence and it seems like I’ve run out of whispering roots, what’s next?||
||When you come across anything that emits essence, you can dreamnail it||
do you want a more specific hint?
Yes please, can you tell me the near location?
||only thing I can think of is the jewel mine||
||or those little houses in the kingdom but I tried earlier with a less advanced nail and didn’t work||
||how many times does the hollow knight get staggered||
||Holy fuck, this mawlek fight is so damn stupid man||
its not a numbered thing. it happens based off how much you attack in a given moment. thats how i understand it.
||nvm I just beat him by spamming hella spells||
ohh ty
||should i get shade cloak b4 fighting hollow knight?||
it can help um but it's a long process if you dont have the items needed to obtain it
||first playthrough and i feel like im banging my head against a wall attempting hollow knight with shaman stone and mark of pride||
also this lol ||pretty much became rad gpz, 10th kill was hitless too lmao||
any other challenges in addition to this?
oh ig i should do the ||white defender one||
i am actually banging myself against a brick wall fighting ||hollow knight|| can anyone give tips
||just the whole thing i have 6 masks and im using shaman stone with mark of pride||
||should i get shade cloak||
mmm, so while completely doable, id recommend getting ||more masks. shade cloak is helpful, but wont help you so drastically that its the difference between wining and losing||
let me know what attacks in particular you feel youre getting hit by
and ill give some pointers
he keeps ||spamming the damn counter||
||oo i got him to his flying phase||
yea unforeutnlly you need to just be ready for that, get two or three hits in and see what he does before continuing
|| god his blob spam atk is so annoying||
my main strat is ||pogoing||
||finally beat him!||
What is this and what am I supposed to do here?
Hi guys does anyone know of any decent guides for the ||speed completion|| achievement
nice job!
Nothing
is that the 5 hour one
oh i see, not sure then
though id suggest just giving it ur best shot, i think i did it on my first go with plenty of wiggle room
I might just follow fireb0rn_'s speedrun guide again and go from there
Honestly just play through the game without dilly-dallying, that's how I got it, and I did it in steel soul
Basically this tho I do struggle on boss fighting cause im still fairly noob
Honestly ||I don’t think you need to hurry that much. 20 hours is very generous. I’d say try to learn where everything is, open up stag stations early, etc. try to reduce backtracking||
||where should i go now?||
It took me ~115 hours to reach ||112%, just because I couldn't beat the pantheons,, nkg, and colo 3 at the time||
Not to jump in/intrude on the convo but ||Did you get 112% yet?||
I need help finding ||one more pale ore for the next nail upgrade|| but I dont know where it could be
Can someone respond to this
||I found 30 more in a hidden spot just need like 35||
Huh... ||i grabbed lifeblood while regenerating a joni hive mask||
nope this is my first playthru
Ah! There's a ||112% checklist on Google somewhere, it helped me on my first playthru||
||Dream warriors and dream bosses! You also have a slim chance of getting 1 essence from any killable mob||
||im trying to get to colloseum rn||
Good luck!
im ||charm|| hunting
at the moment but Im having trouble finding more, can anyone help me?
did you seriously miss ||mark of pride||
It is missable
kinda
Ty I ended up getting it
|| I killed one boss with the two flying swords, is there more? They’re not marked on the map ||
||Havent really seen a warrior either ||
there are much more
Alright Ty
Are they going to be in areas I’ve already explored or new areas?
what areas have u explored
A lot, too many to list I don’t have the game open rn
well probably areas uve been in
maybe unexplored ones depending on which ones u didnt go to yet
I ended up ||slaying the nailsmith without seeing the dialouge what happens if I dont slay him?||
ull find him somewhere else
Do yall recommend to play hk ?
answered in #hk-discussion and #hk-general two times differently
No I'm in the discord for a game I hate
What answer do you expect in the hollow knight discord
none of us have played it iirc imo
Where can I get the ||nailmaster charm||?
|| in dirtmouth||
dude...
I cant ||get 112, ever||
like idk what to do anymore
||Zote|| is a fucking bitch, I cant beat ||P3||, and I broke a part of my keyboard already
Ayaku wsg
Make a new save and dont save ||zote.||
Its a lot of work, but it could help a lot
Or just spend a lot less time practicing him?
It'll probably take about 5-10x less time than restarting lmao
As for tips the main one is to spam ||ddark|| as much as you can
@swift zephyr
||Hi any idea how can I open this door in King's Station?||
find the way to open it somewhere else but dw about it for now thats not rly important
||Also is this room just for decoration on the passage to Kingdom's edge or it will have something when I progress more in game?||
It’s important
