you can't
Would you like me to tell you how to open it? It’s not the biggest spoiler tbh
u dont rly need to know for now
it could be
|| that's important ||
No I think I will try to find it myself!
Alright! Best of luck 
oh yea the door doesnt open mb
If you're breaking your keyboard over a game, the thing you should probably do is stop playing and get your anger management issues in order 
||yatta i finally beat trial of fools||
Otherwise can also train it in || HoG || or || make an entire new save || 
Congrats, || you're now a fool! || 
gg 
true but like
I get mad easily 😦
If you feel yourself getting mad, just step away from your computer and make sure you’re calm before you continue
alr, I'll do that next time I get mad
Hemmm i think i want to know how to open it
You can't, go from below
||anyone got any good charm setups for later stage grey prince zote? i don’t know exactly what stage im on, i die in 2 hits with all masks and no extra mask charms on if that helps get an idea||
I just used ||strength, shaman, qslash, and twister||
It's the build I use for basically everything
From where
I say it just from experience (with Pokemon showdown instead of HK) that rageplaying is like the worst thing ever lol
You start messing up even more often until you either step away or actually break something
here
The worst thing about || Pantheons || is keeping calm towards the end, that's when you really mess up 
I had a back to back to back death to || GPZ in P5AB || and that was probably the maddest I've gotten at this game
oof

How do you do the spoiler thing
|| fast as in speedrun, fast as in first playthrough or fast as in experienced person who just wants the movement ASAP but doesn't want to learn skips||
The 2nd one
The usual "fastest" route for a new player is just || getting vengeful spirit, then clearing Hornet then heading down Crossroads entrance to fungal wastes and going straight for claw, those are the only things you need and since there's no boss before claw you can't really die after clearing Hornet ||
||im already in mantis village kinda but i just wanna get it rn||
||also what about mantis lords||
Not mandatory
||like any skips or shortcuts?||
Not really, || you just go left through the upper floor until the gate that's closed then drop down and hit the big lever leftmost, guarded by a warrior, then you can pogo on the flying mantis to get back up throught the leftmost shaft and drop into the mantis claw room or just go the long way back and enter the upper floor through the same spot twice ||
||left through the upper floor u mean the exploding shroom plant pogo?||
|| that's a kinda hard skip and it only helps to actually get to the village a bit faster, I meant that after reaching the first area in mantis village, where there's a massive door in the floor, there's both an upper floor and the ground floor, you're supposed to hit the leftmost lever at the ground floor then loop back around to the right of the room and go through the upper floor until you reach the left wall again, where you've opened a door that allows to reach the mantis claw ||
Too complicated ig
|| rn i got claw ive beaten mantis lords and im wondering is it worth to grind some geo to get my 7th mask shard from sly?||
Alr ty
If you want
im in ||steel soul thats why i wondering||
If you feel it's necessary go ahead
If you're willing to learn || explosion pogo || then the || current speedrun any% wr route || is perfectly doable (just slower because duh)
Yes, 100%
||Steel Soul getting as many health upgrades ASAP is the best thing to do||
Anyone has a good ||charm set for the radiance
||
I keep dying😭😭😭😭
also no ||overcharm||
something with ||shaman strength qslash|| or ||shaman strength eater|| is your best bet
||I can only wear 2 charms compass and soul catcher. Is there a way to increase it?||
But is ||strength shaman heart and quick focus good?||
Yea
How
||charm notches||
How to get those?
Someone teach him idk how to explain LOL
||It is a lantern, maybe it will prove to be useful later? who knows||
that's the point, I not want to spoiler hah
always! have a nice time, if anything ask the helpers 
Ok👍
Yo what’s a ||good charm set for mantis lords for beginners||
Depends on what you have on you 
Send inventory
Some trash charms
just send
Don’t mind me just wanna start a new game😭
||yeah just take fury||
Ok bet
Well with these options || you only have 1 good charm for fighting (soul catcher), unless you wanna get down to 1 health
||
||don't overcharm, just learn attack patterns. mantis lords is a lot of repetition in the end||
yeah
Should I get 1 more ||charm notch|| to fit in ||soul catcher?||
|| fury for beginners
||
Spoilers
||idk i did that||
||if you can sure||
K
You could, there's quite a few you can find rn
Am at ||fungal||
Maybe explore a little what you've already been to 
tbh it's just a bunch of practice
Ok
I don need practice xd
I know, but I'm not gonna tell you exactly which zone you can find em (cuz teehee exploration), also spoiler mark the zone name plz
tag ||fungal||
There's || in many zones you have access to anyways, you can't go wrong ||
Ik one place
Then that one 
||Whats the point of Confessor Jiji. I bought a simple key from Sly and unlocked her Adobe but all it said was I don't have any lingering regrets and asked me to leave.||
She's cryptic like that
I love how the game words it hah
It's so confusing ngl 😔
I died:>
||I thought it was like the shaman who gives a free spell.||
|| she can do stuff if you visit her when you've recently died ||
||I see let's try I have just 1 coin. Well what's the currency called tho?||
Geo
Yea it's more of a "qol" resource really
I bet she'd || let you fight your lingering regrets if you got her a nice meal ||
Like what? STEAK?
Got it
Wait you can ||dash|| down?
you gotta spoiler tag this
Since when you can ||dash|| down
With || dash master equipped yeah ||
|| Dashmaster Charm allow you to dash down yea||
Oh
@gentle flicker is there any shame in trying 
Didn’t know that._.
it is in the description lol
||theres a BUNCH of rancid eggs you can find throughout the game, totalling to 121 :)||
whats the ||charm loadout rn||
||fury and soul catcher|| don’t blame me my mind want to start a new game
||any new charm notches or no|| i saw u sent your ||charms|| and was wondering
Spoiler mark
No no I started a new game
i was referencing this
Forgot to tag wait
Actually (insanity don't read, this is a spoiler for you) || Tuk will sell them to you forever unless you go above 80, but if you keep using them she won't run out ||
I started a new game
I got 1 ||charm notch||
So should I fight ||mantis lords|| or not
You can
||well thats true, but Skurry did a video and if you don't use ANY, it caps out at 121- i'm guessing that means that theres 41 bluggsacs naturally||
Ok bet
You can also not do it
Whatever you prefer, || mantis lords can be beaten without any equipment if you're good enough, so if you want to fight them now you can
They are meant to be left aside for a bit longer for new players tho, since they are a challenging fight when you first meet them ||
@sudden harness have you completed the game? I've got a couple questions revolving ||late game godmaster stuff||
Yeah that seems to be the case
As my name suggests yeah, I'm currently hardstuck || with bindings related stuff || 
ah ok. ||any suggestions for charm loadouts for absrad? i'm hardstuck on p5 and my pb on her was 5 hits away from win :(||
||strength shaman qs or twister, steady body and then your choice||
my current loadout is || qslash, MoP, Unb Strength, and Unb Heart||
||how ||
||mop is useless there||
I feel like || charms are not the main thing for absrad last phase, she has a very neat trick: if you go above the screen by pogoing her, the homing balls will despawn as soon as they go offscreen, so you're very safe up there
As for charms, a spell build I feel is what works best, since you can fight her normally till she does the blade rain, then stock up on soul during that phase, and then camp the lower platform until she's nice enough to warp to you and you can send her directly into climb phase with shrieks ||
||here's a trick, you can skip that room by going on right side and just pogo the spikes :P||
ok 😛
||facedancing is so fun though||
|| nail range are pretty good for her last phase and the first one, for platforms it's situationally good depending on where she tps to ||
Sadly || charm binding || makes that not as nice 😔😔
Ah alright. What really sucks is my rng gets to the point where i get ||gridlocked by the sword rain and walls 😭||
|| pogoing the retracting spikes and using wings to get to above the saw ||
Tbh ||rad ab|| is mainly ||soul|| management imo
On the || sword rain phase before platforms? ||
Pretty much
mhm
You can ||stand between blades|| btw
ik lol
I mean the small gaps
what sucks is that i'm on a switch so it's hard for me to see where a lot of things are
|| ddark spam ftw
||
Me too 
yeah thats what i was talking abt too lol
Real, || absrad is a lot of focusing on the right things in screen, and that only really comes by grinding her like crazy in HoG lol ||
||radiant absolute radiance|| on switch goes hard
i've only ever beat her once in ||HoG, its just the adrenaline rush when it reaches climbing phase||
I did both ||NKG and PV radiant|| as my name says
PAIN
Half the challenge is || staying calm when at the top of P5 || lol
ikr
As my name implies || I've also choked to her
||
Nifty trick I learned, think of the ||lasers as a rhythm game. Only move forwards when the laser has been shot||
||i used to be stuck at the markoth roadblock, but I'm a bit better at dodging and mech management now||
As my name might reveal, I did ||all bossesvradiant|| 🙂
just shapes and beats ahh pattern
To || late platforms with a 3 lifeblood entry too ||
I refuse to do ||any pantheon AB- i need my charms||
Oh yeah ||lifsblood is in pantheons||
It's not fun, refrain 
I've done all other ||bindings|| just i can't live without my beloved ||charms||
I will never do ||p5 bindings separately|| lol
I've almost completed ||AscHoG||
Also || never spend your dash unless you're directly on a beam's path ||
Preferably also save || wings ||
I'll go all in
The entire || climb can be done with just claw, not wasting movement means you can get out of extremely unlucky combos ||
i only use ||wings|| if I'm too far below a platform to ||wall grab||
Lmao ||radsrad|| was the only one I experienced true hell with
I did || for the lifeblood || 
||p5 doesnt count for lifeblood door||..?
at first i thought ||lifeblood in pantheons|| was a mod
Btw if you havent noticed there are ||two secret statues in hog||
Really? I'm dumb then and did it just as training
||void idol and weathered mask, right?||
||void statue and secret zote one, not gpz||
||oh yeah, eternal ordeal||
unfortunately no, the ||aspid goo shooting ones|| mess me up
I usually die around ||26|| or so
||d-dark would be helpful i just suck at soul management||
||how||
Time your ||dashes|| iirc by standing right next to them
||is that the one with the spikes going down?||
yes
there is some extra space inbetween ||the spikes|| for you to regain ||shade dash||
Ey have you done ||pop||?
oh yeah. took me a couple hours lol
I probably compete against wr with my 4:16 lmaaoo
||what's a pop?|| 
my dumbahh thought ||pop|| was part of ||112||
Respect the flow 
|| fail
crazy
||its what the weasel says||
Duh
||yummy soda||
personally I'd do ||r5 over P5AB||
I've seen many say this before but very few if not any did so 
ehhh I'll get around to it eventually
ya, that's the spirit! both require you to grind some kind of skill
the important thing to remember is not stopping, because you are getting progress even if it's slow ^.^
I am just very busy irl with getting a career and stuff yk yk
same, I have not been playing like crazy as before too
| dude my wording lol terrible I might need to log off
find a place to use it! 
I kinda want to know where the ||charm to walk in acid is||
That way I can|| kill a dreamer||
hmmm somewhere, you should explore more
Could you atleast tell me the area its in so I don't explore mindlessly
show your map
yeah show your map and/ or tell what all bosses you have beaten
bruh
no problem
||idrovie reali|| 👀
||The flukes in there are the most annoying mfs in the game||
if you have completed this far then any vedio will not hurt to watch
Did I unlock every area
here you go
Shouldn't you tag that as spoiler?
ya
ja
how
In this video we are going to find Isma's tear so that you will no longer take damage by swimming in acid. This ability will open up some parts of the Hollow Knight map. I think it makes it easier when exploring new areas to help avoid accidentally taking damage.
Before getting started you will need the following abilities:
Sly the Shop Keep: ...
So did I unlock every area?
nope
I must be close tho
yup
Am I missing like 1 or 2
Ok nice I still have some exploring to do
What should be my main story focus cause idk what do to to beat the game
||focus on the dreamers for now, and get collectables on the road|| 
Ok bet imma get ||the acid charm now||
good luck!
||isn't ismmas tears reqired for that?||
No
isn't ||isma tear needed for monomon tho?||
No?
maybe he should focus on that as i see that he has explored (ig) all areas and still not got that (if it isn't a with skips run)
||theres acces via cloak, tear only locks grubs and collector||
ya but u gotta cross ||uumuu's place|| with it
||cdash||
You just gotta go from the right side
yeah ||cdash and claws* for monomon||
ic
hi so i beat || false knight and he dropped me this thing called city crest or smth, is it any useful||
yup, but not for now
just explore more, until you find something interesting. Find a place to use the geo u gained in this fight too 
alr
no
you are missing 2
everyone who told yes here is blind
Thanks but someone else already told me that appreciated it anyways
And from what I am seeing nobody in the chat said yes anyways
oh wait I saw N and Grev say yes but it was for something else 
nice! good luck 
good luck yeah
Thanks guys this channel has helped me a lot trough my journey

The only good thing about ||the sewers is the dung defender ngl||
Everything else is so annoying

anyway have you started any dlcs?
No
dlc
Do I have to get them from the nintendo e shop or are they part of the base game?
especially those war mines
you know which
What are you talking about exactly
Are we talking about 2 different areas here
Cause I genuinely have no clue to what you are referring to
im talking bout ||sewers||
Me too
true but everyone calls them dlcs, they are marketed as expansions packs or smth
you finshed that right?
||By land mines do you mean the birds and by bananas do you mean the flukes||?
ofc
Oh then yes of course I finished it
what do you think bannans would mean
Quite some time ago in facts
I didn't make the connection at first
yeah but when you do you will get annoyed for a split second for remembering those idiots
The ||flukes|| are the worst
fr
Especially their boss
I needed like 20 attemps to beat that shit
And its so difficult to get to it damageless
you got ||shade soul||?
hello ive beaten an obese knight and now im lost in a pink biome can someone help me?
And by recently I mean like an hour ago
Oh ok so basically you got ||kidnapped by a witch||
if you spoiler it
Well did you get||the spell||
yeah
the place with the ||jellyfish||?
here
you cant do anything that way until later
Oh I tought he was still in that zone where ||the witch|| took him
me too
Yeah no get out of there you will access it later when you unlock a new power up
im kinda lost in this game should i talk to a npc? 😭
I took 2 hrs in ||forgotten crossroads|| in ma first playthrough
just explore around
Why not npcs usually provide good informations
The whole point of this game is to explore
you can talk to the guy in ||dirtmouth||, he gives hints
yes you s h o u l d
find a npc and suck all the dialougs out of it
it will be helpfull
to an extent
best idea is to just run around an try to find things and get help here
||some of them do but i think the whole point is to discover yourself||
Good point ig
ok i'll see thx
i like the game but it is not really easy to find where to go 😭
||Dreamer|| 2 killed
like here
Yeah I also have this problem dw
am i in the right path? ill go to speak to the npc a bit later
I think you are making progress
thats the new area you can explore after getting ||vengeful spirit||, so yes
Don't worry I took like 6 hours in my playtrought to figure out where that zone was
You are doing fine
ok thanks guys 
Ok guys I need to kill ||the last dreamer||
I don't think it's in ||deepnest|| right?
the map shows where it is
I don't think I have that area unlocked
I know I am missing ||the hive and another one||
the other one isn't where the ||dreamer|| is
at least assuming its the one youre probably missing
This is my map just consider this without ||the dreamer in foggy canyon||
||it shows it in deepnest on your map
||
This should help you understand
yeah its in ||deepnest||
Does ||cyclone slash|| have invincibility frames?
The ||nail art right||?
Yes.

If you want invincibility frames use ||ddark||
No
Ok if he says no its no he's more experienced than me
I guess I don’t really see the point then but I’ll try to use it
smh
The point is dealing damage iirc
the point is really big hitbox with high damage
and it doesnt need ||soul||
I never really use them either, but I think its skill issue on my part
||Hits 6 times, more dps than normal and does 1.25x nail damage every hit||
Ok I just casually beat ||Galiean||
good job!
When I beat the game I gotta get some lore about the ||dream warriors||
Okay so I now have ||all nail arts||, time to try ||second colosseum thingy||
best of luck! 
So when I used ||nail arts||, I did SIGNIFICANTLY worse than I did before
I don’t know who told me I could start one shooting things in here but they were
Not correct, at all
depends, ||do u have maxed nail||?
also yes some enemies can't be oneshotted
oh yeah silly me
||I’m doing colosseum specifically for the purpose of upgrading my nail.||
anyways, it's better to combine both ||normal nail hits and narts|| if you want to take them down efficiently
do i need to do the ||pantheon of the knight|| to get 112%? im on 111% rn
yup
||p1-p4 counts as %||
ty 😭
yw, u got this! 
I REALLY hate ||that one wave where it’s extremely narrow and the only thing there is a great hopper||
Genuinely wtf am I supposed to do about that
||dash back and forth||
In this channel everything from the game needs to be spoiler tagged so other people don't get spoiled. You can gat a message by putting two bars on each side || like this || so please edit it
sorry okay
I keep trying that
well thats kind of the only way
Is there like a certain way you do it or is that all you’ve got
nah thats all it works like always
That’s the exact spot where I got stuck
All I can suggest is try to save soul to spam ||up spell||
But even with that I’ve only beaten it once
i got stuck where ||the floor randomly disappears and you have to fight enemies while wall jumping||
I WON
the whole trial
you just have to get the timing right
Yeah the ||second trial||
you a bit late buddy
||How to beat sly easily?||
oh i thought we were talking about ||trial 3||
yeah the thing sent after like ten minutes
Spoiler
even that is spoiler?
my connection was crap 😦
Yes
Everything is
||Everything||
But I'd appreciate some advice
||tip for this||
Suffer
|| when he doest the double attack and spin, wait for it to be over and hit him twice, dash slash: just jump and land the hit, big slash:dodge. cyclone is kinda hard: pogo on him enough till its over, down plunge and slash: hit beetween the time he lands and the time he slashes||
OPA
i have not having a map so much
almost forgor
What about 2nd phase
Nono map = nono life
spoiler🔥
There's no spoiler tho
||either tank through or dodge the opposite side where he is||
so real
Tank through is almost impossible
if you good then you shouldd have enough health
I won't have enough health since I can't heal in the ||pantheon||
||you can heal twice beetween staggers, and heal thrice when he goes from 1 to 2||
yes you can?
||No i mean sly is right after hornet sentinel I don't have enough health to begin with||
Tank through is a skill issue imo
Once i see you typing i know it's gonna be solved
if it works it works
Just practice how to dodge it
||Alright what’s specific that you’re struggling with?||
||Sly as a whole||
||ill try to dodge it but most of the time he lands on top of me and at that point i just hit him three times||
||Especially after the lack of health from hornet sentinel||
have you tried ||grubsong||
||I think unbreakable heart is way better||
@tawny sapphire is writing my fate
yeah i also use that but if you strugle to heal nad are on low health some soul is always good
It's Gunna be over
||I can't really take off unbreakable heart because of zote||
remind me: ||what bossews are in the second part of p3||
||Look at crossroads you're gonna get a cake||
can someone help me i just went into ||city of tears|| and idk where to go i dont have a map
I am stuck in the zone I killed him and don't know how to get out
I have a question
I'm on ||steel soul and have a simple key, do I get Jiji? I heard she gives u geo for eggs, I have 2 eggs||
Show a pic of where you are
Hold up a sec
There's better places
Alright, ||All bosses in P3 encourage spacing, don’t play agro, go in for 1 maybe 2; 3 if you are fast enough hits after each attack and then dash away from him and dodge the next attack, don’t let him corner you, if you are cornered, DDark.||
thanks ill keep practicing but i im in ||p5||
Oh just fall down
Manage your ||dash||, use it to get away and most of the time stay far away from him unless you are attacking him
Then take the right path
Fall down where exactly
anyways i gotta say ||PV|| is one the best bosses
im so rich
@tawny sapphire i leave this to you
Nvm I think I figured it out
The later the progress the more you realize that is merely anything
||Pv?||
in my heart im rich
especially when you see the cost of ||unbreakable charms||
||Unbreakable strength broke my heart to pieces||
|| le pure vessel||
||https://youtu.be/pjIJtzWCDG0?si=9dB9o-je1mQ5Fih7 here is a run by @simple island which you can go through and see how he plays||
||Didn't get to him yet||
Should I do ||Traitor Lord|| first or ||Monomon||
Oh ok
It's whatever you want there's not a huge difference
No I didn't actually sorry
You deserve a helper role
Are you at the entrance of the area?
Like?
Yeah
What room are you in specifically
Take the ||wastes|| for example
Cruel
Alright see the platforms? Follow them up and right


Ok
on an unrelated note || zote might be top 4 hardest bosses he is so gawd dayum random||
ruined my ||p5|| run
So real
I tank him
||i just got c dash and ddark and about to get dnail should i now hard focus pale ores and charms etc? i dont need wings for alot of stuff so i dont think its that important rn and i dont want infected crossroads rn||
real
i left him to die in ||deepnest||
Naw get the ||wings||
i aint good at the boss bro thats why im asking
he cant die there lol
||Just try harder the wings makes every boss way more easier honestly and it helps aton with exploring||
i aint got multiple attempts bro i got 1 shot or else im done for
Do whatever order you want
if you want ||the pantheons || you're forced to save him, should have left him in ||greenpath|| he really dies there
no i can leave him there aslong as i dont fight him i dont have to get him
||Then go get Joni's blessing or unbreakable heart||
||zote|| in ||pantheons|| is optional
since he doesnt die i think you are kinda forced to save him right?
I mean... ||Wings aren't that important. I mean it isn't required to beat the game if you do one skip. However, I believe that wings are required to get one or two pale ores, and multiple charms. So maybe get one or two easy pale ores first and really good charms like shaman stone and an upgrade or two, then go get wings.||
Also some more ||masks||
He can die in ||greenpath if you don't save him before getting claw||
i got ||hallownests peak one thats 1 wing gone whats the 2nd one?||
There's an achievement for it.
thats what i said
||watcher’s spire||
That’s the mandatory one
aslong as i dont save him and get his statue im chill
what wheres that one at?
||that’s where the watcher knights are||
yeah i know but like where is the actual thing
i dont remember one being there
There isnt
The first jump to get there from the main part of ||city||
That needs ||wings|| or a skip
what
your not making sense rn ngl
Blud is talking about required skips, not optional skips to getting ||pale ores or such||
If you don't get ||wings, you need to do a skip to get to watcher knights||
i got the only ||pale ore that i think requires wings i just did a pogo for hallownests crown one||
||background pogo|| needs spoiler tags
bro what
how its not even a spoiler of anything
spoiling the concept of ||pogoing background objects|| 
bro 💀
deleted message💀 💀
But you need ||wings for a vessel fragment|| (basically, I think there’s a really hard skip)
?tag noping
what does that do
brudda i dont care bout none that just ||pale ore||
||one from grubfather one from colosseum one from hallownest crown, one from ancient basin, and i dont remember others||
||nosk||
how many is ||grubfather do you know?||
one from ||deepnest and one from seer||
30 something
|| like all of them||
31
not really, about 3/4
or 31
damn looks like i go on a hunt then
its the cost of the || pure nail||
||watcher knights defeated lets go||
hhiii
first time i tried ||watcher knights|| it felt like hell but now they feel easy as hell
same
i first tried em just now
1 down 2 to go
might go for ||112 in steel soul for the fun of it||
guys... what caused this? I did so much stuff before coming back here that idk what caused it.
Don't watch if you didn't even come to the ||abyss|| yet
please spoiler tag ||abyss|| @candid sonnet
sorry, doing it rn
||you either A. defeated broken vessel and got wings or B. got a dreamer||
there are a few things that can cause it
oh, it's definitely A
B is too much difficult
I've spent hours ||fighting the dreamer warriors in the city of tears, with no success. I ended up using a rancid egg.||
yeah they are really hard
i just defeated those guys lol
funny timing
there are|| 2 other dreamers ||you could go for
wait... ||Which other biomes got infected??||
just that one
those 2 are a lot easier(||though I did go for Lurien first||)
Um
How am I supposed to get to ||the rest of queens gardens||
lies those damn things at ||herra||
yeah but the one in ||deepnest|| is really far and the other one... didn't consider it as I needed ||wings and the dark dash|| to reach it
||Stalking Devouts|| aren't really difficult
yes they are
once you figure them out they arent that bad
Yeah
but they do suck when you first meet them
Or if you just have...a really ||crappy nail they are a pain||
have fun

boutta fight ||soul tyrant|| wish me luck
Bro I hate when I accidentally press the enter key instead of the vertical bar so not only is my message sent incomplete but it's untagged
Since when was
an emote
yeah that was a underwhelming fight ngl
onto || failed champ then i will go kill dung and white then finally get wings||
||When is a good time to start fighting warrior dreams?||
There isnt a best time
When you have access to them
anytime really
Just whenever you find them
is 700 enough for the ||pale ore||
That’s 500
ima go do ||colo 1 and 2|| get that and go straight for ||nail 4||
|| i hate path of pain
||
guys, what should I do here?
Welcome to the club 
Cant go there rn
Find another way to go
oh, do I need ||queen's garden||?
Idr but the point is that you need to get there from the other side
||8.5k geo||???
too much?
ive defeated ||soul master|| where do i go now? i know i can get ||mothwing cloak|| but how
I've also got ||3k in the bank but I don't remember where the bank is||
Have you been grinding or something??
||queens station, in fog canyon||
no, just pure gaming... but I do use the ||geo collecting charm|| when I go around exploring
thanks
||you dont already have mothwing cloak||? ||as in dash||
oh sorry i meant the ||double jump||
yup
Oh, lets see
please tag ||double jump|| 
||mowhthing cloak|| is even after the ||wings||
Have you explorer ||the northern parts||?
well i got it before lol
also ||mothwing cloak||
thanks you btw! 
||of the city? not yet because i want the double jump first||
Spoiler ||mothwing cloak|| btw
nope, ||mothwing cloak is dash||
by the way @light yarrow if you want we can give you info on how to reach places, but every game is different because you can choose what to do before than something else. for example I have both ||double jump and the cloak|| as well as some other things, but I don't know what ||soul master|| is.
there is not a specific order, so just explore
No, ||crossroads, maybe something where crystals can be found||..?
oh I thought he meant the ||upgraded one||
||i should go to the crystal mines?||
you could yk, that's when I went there
You might be able to make use of ||the new ability||
gtg, hope you find your solution ^^
||How do I check how many grubs I’ve found?||
Go to ||grubfather|| and count 

yup
unless yk what the last reward u got was and ||how many grubs u saved after it||
||I feel like I got a Hallownest seal but i guess it’s fine||
||im gonna go kill collector, that oughta get me to where i need||
what do u have?
|| did you have the love key yet? ||
||nah but I’m headed over||

to be safe probably don't mention that here
ohh rip IOUH
|| im trying to beat path of pain lol,so hard ||
hence the name
|| im using dashmaster,the hive knight charm(i dont remember the name),long nail ||
||hiveblood im pretty sure its called||
||dashmaster is not recommended||
||how many charm slots do u have||?
let me check
Switch ||dashmaster with soul charm||
um, definitely no
||absolute waste of notches for pop||
I used it and it helped
||dash master is good, i didnt down dash at all, left and right dash take priority over down||
|| you mean charm notches?i have 9 ||
||yes ok nice||
never use ||longnail or MOP||
||even so it's not helpful since the decreased cooldown doesn't matter because you don't get dash back in the air anyway||
||with path of pain??||
why
pogo?
some sections got some tight spike pogos or saw pogos, having such a high range will send you straight into the ceiling
||yeah you refresh dash when you pogo, but dashmaster doesn't affect that at all||
true
the setup is obvious, ||hiveblood, grubsong, quick slash, and my boy waywaed compass||
kuro, just remember to take it slow and study the path
you might want to spoiler that

How do I get to the ||radiance boss fight||
lemme see inventory, charms
you on pc?
No mobile
hold
Wdym
uhhh
||equip kingsoul and go back into the abyss||
Ok
Is this room in the ||stone sanctuary|| useful? the wiki doesn't say anything
The one below ||ancient basin|| right?
yes
Ok
got ||king brand?||
Thanks
i'd spoiler it
Spoiler
Yeah I do
spoiler
they have ||sharp shadow||
||hence they have been to the abyss and have gotten upgraded dash||
you get a ||mask shard|| there
oh... but how? did I already get it or what?
|| where to get void heart||
||equip kingsoul and enter abyss||
Used to have ||mask shard|| looks like you already got it
oh okay
ok
||bro they've been to the abyss already they have shade dash and lifeblood core||
What do I do in the ||abyss||?
go all the way down and check for something that might be interesting to give a look at
I did but I will look again
alright! don't forget to check left and right
Is it in ||the place that opened up from the floor in the abyss||?
prob
ok
Ok I will check again
|| can i see your inventory ||
I've been fighting with him for 2 days
|| you can use shaman stone,NMG ||
|| NMG?nailmaster's glory ||
okay
||stand next to the platform In the middle, and when he is above you use abyss shriek||
yeah I guess I should get used to ||magic and nailmaster abilities||
oh!! really cool idea, thanks
I mean, nail builds are good, but only late game are they truly better than ||spells||
|| btw use your nail art much, nailmaster's glory make the nail art charge faster(my english kinda bad so nvm) ||
yeah I used it against ||the colosseum|| recently, but I didn't use it afterwards
I'll try rn
Yeah ||nailmasters glory is amazing charm for one notch, it makes your arts charge up faster and do more damage||
Have you fought ||grimm yet? They are very good for him||
I still don't know where to go am I just being dumb or is there a place that I'm missing
got 1 missing ||notch||
I'm scared of advancing, so no....
Where are you right now?
I'm advancing really slowly, checking that I've done all side quests before proceeding
|| thorns of agony ig ||
||can you send pic of inventory and your in game map?||
||he is kind of a side quest||
yeah, inventory is up ahead, I'll send map now
Oh okay so ||drop to bottom of the big pit and walk around the floor without going into a new room the floor will break you will know what to do from there||
here are the charms
here is inventory
I found where the floor breaks
Oh I was talking to the Jon
I'm just being dumb
oh sorry ok
Any tips whatsoever on ||hive knight||
I cannot fucking figure out ||its attack pattern||
I used ||stalwart shell, quickslash, sharpshadow and dashmaster|| I think
||I cannot figure out the timing to shade dash through his teleport because SOMEONE decided to give HIS BACKSWING a HITBOX||
congrats
What do I do now for ||radiance||
|| did you have shade dash yet? ||
||go fight the HK again, you'll know when its time||
beat ||THK|| then ||hornet will come and say GIT GUD then dream nail THK||
dont ask "do you have X?", instead ask to see what they have. by asking that question you risk spoiling content. the pinned messages have more info
In case you missed it, yes.
|| if he teleports he is ending up behind you, just jump, the dash is very telegraphed jump that too, the honey spikey balls: just try to dodge the closest one from you, the far ones will go slow enough that you can dodge them with ease, and for the bee barrage, just dodge till its over, you can heal twice on a staggerù||
Maybe I should wait till I have ||pure nail|| because I could not ||stagger the bitch even once||
i assure you, you do not need || pure nail||
plus he will only get staggered like twice, staggering once is half the fight
once if you have || pure nail||
@teal jacinth what charms do you got?
its subjective
I beat ||NKG||
||nkg is like a dance, every move is countered by another and its more of a back and forth, so its easier to learn, radiance is more of a stationary boss, but for me radiance is harder||
cuz spoiler: || THE FCKIN FLOOR DISAPPEARS||
What is a good ||charm set for radiance||
||quick slash, unbreakable strenght, spell twister,and grubsong||
you need both damage and spells
What is ||spell twister||
damage for || phase 1|| and spell for ||phase 3||
things cost less soul to use
Oh
remember to use spoilers 
how is the description of a charm a spoiler
because youre describing what something thats a spoiler does
||soul|| is also a spoiler
||bruh💀 ||
Taking a break for now. ||Things I had equipped were:||
||Wayward Compass, Weaversong, Quick Slash, Mark of Pride.||
||weaversong|| is a no go, but i dont know what else you could replace it with for two notches
||Why is Weaversong a no go?||
||notch|| is also a spoiler
thanks for the information, on a related note: did i ask?
eh bad ||charm|| in general
<@&283547423706447872> refusal to use spoilers and toxic
man why you have to be annoying, aint noone gonna call mods because i said "did i ask"
You are admittedly being a bit antagonistic
yeah but putting spoilers on ||soul||? on ||notch||? come on man
everyone that has played for a minute knows what ||soul|| is
u dont get to arbitrarily follow rules. dont use the channel if u dont like it
Alright anyway
May I ask why ||Weaversong is a “bad charm”? It’s gotten me through quite a lot of tough fights.||
it ||unstaggers bosses and does little damage||
Hey there
hello
||I suppose that’s true… what kinds of charms would you recommend for highly mobile bosses, then?||
ultimately its whatever u like
||what charms do you currently have?||
for such a agile boss and ||two notches i only think of dashmaster||
@cobalt sky
even for charms widely considered poor
No like which ones do u have available to equip
aight
I have been playing Hollow Knight for 7 consecutive hours and my brain is fried so I will wait till tomorrow; however, ||I have enough mobility and every area in the game unlocked to where you can just name any charm and I can go get it if I don’t already have it.||
||well for fast bosses, I recommend trying a spell build for range, with shaman stone, spell twister, and quickslash to easily get more soul||
||quickslash can be swapped out tbh||
||unbreakable greed||
I
||I’m going to forgo Quick Slash for Hive Knight because I can only really get one slash in before he goes moving or teleporting again.||
Wrong
Trust me, I have tried
i think an aprroach similar to || pure vessel by by pogoing on him would work since he has no air attacks basically||
How many hours hmmm?
||Also highly risky because he so often teleports to your exact height||
…this matters because?
Let me send a clip of me fighting him

yeah but if you were in the air at that time he would miss you still
Bro tryna flex fr fr
btw its kinda sad that we kill ||hive knight||, everything about him is tragic, ||he was defending a queen that was dead and he didnt even knew it and he did all he could to protect her||
@teal jacinth
finally the long awaited video
im on mac so no easy options to record 💀
||also this is trash gameplay against hive knight, shouldnt have gotten hit twice but whatever||
highly highly highly recommend ||shaman stone + spell twister||
Is there a better|| hotkey for nailart? Because I hate the fact you have to attack, it ruins my trial 3 Colosseum of fools runs||
Cause I hate the fact that it messes up your|| wall hang||
spoiler
||wall hang|| would be a spoiler
Nah, it's forcedly || the attack button || 
So how ||do people charge nail art without using the attack animation?||
||if you start charging in the middle of another animation (a nail art being used, a spell being used, etc) it wont attack first||
I see
They || buffer it during any other action like dashing, using spells, healing, receiving damage, cutscenes, since you can't attack during those ||
Doing it ||with the dash buffer feels weird|| @violet ocean sometimes it ||attack animates, sometimes it doesnt||
you can buffer with ||spells or nail arts|| i find those are easier to do
is the ||soul master fight supposed to be fairly early on? im like 8 hours in and i have the mantis claw and the first spell and the better sword with the soul catcher and dashmaster also is he supposed to be this far from a bench or have i missed smth 😭||
He's just built different yeah
||it's a boss designed to be fairly early game however you can fight him whenever you want and continue elsewhere for now if he's too hard||
|| for a more genuine answer, soul master can be accessed very early in terms of gear, so while not being as challenging on earliest gear as other bosses you'll find (or may have found, Idk which path and actions you took before reaching the sanctum) he can prove difficult
Especially because yeah, the bench is miles away compared to any usually previously found boss and most of the ones you'll find later
If you find him too hard, you can go treasure hunt for other stuff and maybe you'll find a great charm or new ability while doing so
||
|| if you want tips for him tho, do ask ||
||is he a required boss to progress ? i defeated hornet, went to mantis village, then through the fungal place and now i’ve done all (?) of the city except for him, do i need to beat him now or is there somewhere else i can go ?||
@massiveguns3 @sudden harness srry wrong tag
|| definitely not required at all, afaik you need no previous knowledge of skips or tricks to finish the game without beating him
But he's definitely meant to be killed at some point as part of your "average" adventure
Before I answer any further, who can you find in Dirtmouth right now ? ||
||umm i have the lady map maker shop, the fly guy, the small man who thinks he’s brave, and maybe some more i haven’t been up there in a bit lmao, and there was another adventurer waiting by the well this one time.||
|| ok great, then your two alternative paths forwards aside from beating soul master are most likely at the bottom of mantis village, or up for grabs at Sly's (especially there) ||
Much like real life, || lots of money can get you places
||
||what’s at slys?, also how do i progress the mantis village, the center bit that shows it’s opened on the map isn’t there ||
what's in the shop
hit all the levers
|| did you miss any lever at mantis village? You should find those
Also what's at Sly is quite a few things, but only one of those is very important for exploration
I'm fairly sure if you've made it to soul sanctum you've already learnt what most things in his shop do from finding them (or similar stuff) in your journey
except maybe 1 or 2 things
||
More specifically, || lumafly's will shine a light where you were once unable to see ||
||i prob missed a lever lol, ok im off to grind some cash after loosing it all to this stupid soul guy to get some more goodies ty guys for the tips !!||
||NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MYLA GOT INFECTED BY THE VIRUS THING NOOOOOOOOOOO||
||Yeah, that just kinda happens. It sucks.||
||Ive been trying to do trial 3 of fools for 10 hours… I need help||
this is what im working with
There's not much to say, || if you're getting your worth from dreamwielder the build makes sense, only thing I can point is there's a charm you're missing that eases the pogo sections a lot, aside from that you could try and get another mask, your save is kinda almost done you just need a few useful charms to have everything that's good then it's just a matter of attempting it hard enough ||
||thing is I dont have the notches unless you are suggesting on cutting charms?? which ones in particular?||
|| I feel like the notches given to spell twister dreamwielder soul catcher could be moved around, especially if you find some of the ones you're lacking
The three of them may be a bit overkill on the soul obtaining, I don't know how often you completely run out of soul, and some of those notches could be used in {charms you don't have yet} or even just getting long nail so you can more reliably hit stuff when you dont have the time to charge your nail arts ||
|| Also depends on how far you usually get, if you've seen {last enemy} and feel like you can get to it again more or less reliably you're probably better off building towards it than the previous stuff ||
I havent, I've only gotten basically to the ||enclosed spike floor part||
Then yeah maybe it's a good chance to || take a step back and do some other things, there's no point on hardstucking yourself forever on one of the hardest challenges the game has to offer
By looking at your charms I can say there's a zone you haven't seen yet that will train your movement a lot, and some other enemies that'll also help your fighting to improve
Take a step back, go gather some other stuff, come back stronger and beat those fools to death ||
||Like I get to it on full health after dreamnailing the centipedes and then I get absolutely steamrolled||
||I might need to go for a nail build which I do prefer for that part over spells||
Yeah it's a hard section, || maybe long nail for the easier pogos instead of soul catcher would help if you really want to do it now ||
Is there a ||charm that improves my attack speed?||
||Im thinking about cutting catcher and twister for long nail and an attackspeed charm|| if there is one
Yes there is
I only remember the zone tho 
How many spaces?
its generally not too good for what youre doing but u can try it
