[icy kayak]

Yes don't be touch

What's your build?

[sacred flower]

wahoo i beat ||attuned nkg (first steps)||

[violet ocean]

||1: get good (seriously, just practice a lot||
||2: nail arts help a lot||

[wintry verge]

||what's the point of these eggs you can collect?||

[sacred flower]

i didn't use ||nail arts||

[sacred flower]

||sell to npc in far left for dirtmouth in exchange for your shade||

||far right** sorry||

[sacred flower]

||I'm almost perfect at nkg but those spikes...||

[cold pine]

AY

[sacred flower]

?

[cold pine]

nvm

[sacred flower]

wowie 112%

[thick wing]

too late beat em

5th try

[sacred flower]

wahoo

[cold pine]

it tooks me 7 times !!

[sacred flower]

it took me too many to count

practice makes perfect

[cold pine]

Yeah yeah , in ||P5|| too ?

[violet ocean]

misinformation

[sacred flower]

What

that's what I've heard

[violet ocean]

||p5 uses normal nkg.||
||except the arena is a platform that has no walls||

[sacred flower]

||does p5 uses any ascended bosses||

[violet ocean]

||well, none get the stat buffs
but some get arena changes and some (vengefly kings for example) have other changes||

[sacred flower]

ohhh that's why i got confused

[bright sorrel]

or does it

[cold pine]

?

[cold pine]

both

[cold pine]

i think the plateforme only

i think

[sacred flower]

okay, my bad then

[violet ocean]

||some bosses have their ascended arenas, some have other changes||
thats all

[sacred flower]

example ||2 vengefly kings?||

[wintry verge]

My what

[cold pine]

||ghost||

[wintry verge]

You can do that????

[simple island]

That technically is "||the ascended arena" of vfk ||

[violet ocean]

yup

[simple island]

So yeah

[bright sorrel]

[sacred flower]

okay, thanks

[wintry verge]

||I'm having a bit of trouble with traitor lord, any tips or charm builds against him?||

[simple island]

I think ||collector is the only other boss with a different fight in ascended, which isn’t an arena change|| ?

[wintry verge]

You saw nothing

[simple island]

Could you send a screenshot of your inventory/charm inventory ? I want to recommend something specific to what you have

[bright sorrel]

not the channel for that

make sure they have what ur suggesting

[sacred flower]

well you do get them quite early iirc

[violet ocean]

||steady body + quick slash + strength works well
when he dashes, dash through him
when he jumps, walk towards where he started the jump a little
when he makes shockwaves, use dive||

[bright sorrel]

game isnt linear

[violet ocean]

||mfw traitor lord requires shade cloak||

[bright sorrel]

read their message

[sacred flower]

right..

i forgot

[neat karma]

Ive seen people completely miss it until very late game

[violet ocean]

||oh, shriek
yeah i guess||
||and the charms maybe?||

[sacred flower]

my bad then

[violet ocean]

show charms + inventory please

[sacred flower]

||isn't up special called shriek||

I don't remember

[violet ocean]

up special lmao

[sacred flower]

waaa

[violet ocean]

||wraiths is the weak version, shriek is the upgraded version||but we dont know if they have that

[sacred flower]

i thought it was vice versa

[violet ocean]

nope

[sacred flower]

my bad then

how does one dodge ||nkg spike attack???? i can perfectly dodge everything else||

[tired saffron]

Practice is the key

[torn vector]

Practice him in ||pantheon ||

[sacred flower]

but even with practice, i can't seem to dodge it

anyway i alr beat ||att nkg, I'll do asc nkg tmr||

[sacred flower]

tmr, thanks though

[bright sorrel]

||watch for grimm dissappearing, then pay attention to your positioning. unfortunately this attack is mostly reaction time based, so you just need to heavily focus on where you are||

[sacred flower]

||alright thanks, imo my reaction time is pretty good||

[bright sorrel]

[quaint hornet]

oh hii

[candid sonnet]

||I think that's my easiest attack to dodge||

[violet ocean]

bonjour

[quaint hornet]

hru?

[nova ruin]

hiii

[bright sorrel]

[nova ruin]

[bleak iris]

Heavy Spoilers only click when you finished the game!
Where to next?
I haven't played it for a few months after I finished it|| (got a bad ending rip)|| and don't know what the next important step for 100% would be.
||I really want to get to the Path of Pain, but you have to go to the White Palace for that and I can't get in. The Orange selfregenerating-Life wouldn't be wrong either. And I don't know what the item/charm is called, but the Dash turns black.
Don't want to do anything in the wrong order
Maybe Arena? Problem is Im hardstuck at the last challenge, prob because you need one of the perks mentioned above. Or at least I think its the last one (3rd picture)||

[violet ocean]

doing well

[violet ocean]

||PoP doesn't give percentage||
||you got king's brand, go explore||

also buy out the shops

[bright sorrel]

try to ||gather more essence, and see if u can use your kings brand (the description gives a hint)||

[nova ruin]

I already did 112% and it was very good, I loved it

[bleak iris]

Okay Ill do that thank you

[bright sorrel]

good job

[nova ruin]

and too good

someone here is brazilian

[bright sorrel]

brasil e ruim 😹

[cold pine]

.

Weird

[wintry verge]

||will this geo lady (idk the name) start her business again so i can deposit my money now that i caught her red handed in pleasure house?||

[thin plover]

Nope!

[neat karma]

Hk players are ||the only ones that want someoned who scammed them out of all they had to take their money again||

[wintry verge]

Well I'm cooked

3000 thousand geo setting in my inventory

I can't do any bosses now

[wintry verge]

Still better than completely losing it

||well, moving on from from the banker, how can i summon the grimm troupe, or something like that idk||

[rapid spindle]

I have a question

[karmic valve]

i cannot for the life of me beat ||hornet 2.||

[rapid spindle]

how can i get to the bench by|| mantis lords||?

[sonic elbow]

ok now i'm here lol, what's the next part 😦 im out of patience for retries i swear

[rapid spindle]

the|| door is already locked for me for some reason||

[rapid spindle]

[sonic elbow]

[rapid spindle]

no

[sonic elbow]

gulp

[rapid spindle]

if not just sto it before getting there

[sonic elbow]

||i got to the other side then theres a giant corridor running back along the top, are there hidden enemies in here or something||

i have like PTSD from playing this lol

.

FINALLY a bench

oh niiceee

[verbal token]

Broooo! || path of pain || is genuinely making me tweak Any tips? especially those || jigsaws || in a row thing

[spark yoke]

Heres a tip

Dont do it

Also literally all of my accomplishments in hollow knight have been at airports

So go get on a plane

Other than that idk

[sonic elbow]

man any time i get anywhere it's like, you need that thing you didnt get yet

then you go to go get the thing and you need another thing to get that

at ||lake of unn|| time to go do something else i guess

[cold pine]

That's how those games work

U have to explore

[tawny totem]

||I'm kinda sad. My last 3 percent comes from last trial, and p3 and p4||

[shut sparrow]

I'm sure you can do it!

[uncut patrol]

what is this means

[sonic elbow]

should i go into ||howling cliffs||

[cold pine]

U can do it

[tawny totem]

For later... no spoilers🤡

[uncut patrol]

there isnt a boss at this sign i dont get it

[sonic elbow]

they seem calm so far

[cold pine]

Yeah yeah,

[uncut patrol]

please just say what it means

[violet ocean]

that's like a huge spoiler

[cold pine]

Forget About it for now

[uncut patrol]

ok

im gonna explore more

[cold pine]

Yeah

[tawny totem]

I kinda spoiled the game like crazy for myself

[uncut patrol]

[cold pine]

U need any other help ?

[tawny totem]

||Like I spoiled grimm and Dreamers😲||

[violet ocean]

breh

[cold pine]

Oh no 😔 , it's ok

[violet ocean]

does this count as a spoiler lol

[cold pine]

Not really, he already know what ||Grimm|| is

[tawny totem]

I beat

||Nkg||

[violet ocean]

but for other ppl

[cold pine]

Oh that's nice, u want 112% ?

[cold pine]

Huh ur right

[tawny totem]

Yeah for the achievement

[sonic elbow]

is ||joni's blessing|| kind of OP

[wraith sail]

Uhh, are you asking or is what you feel about it?

[sonic elbow]

i am asking

[wraith sail]

Then it is ||one of the worse||

[sonic elbow]

oh lol

[wraith sail]

But opinions are subjective

And also affects what other things you have

Its || bad in comparision with others, but might be usefull until you end up discovering better charms||

[wraith sail]

I personally was a fan of the one you have at the bottom left, until i played way too much and changed playstyle

[sonic elbow]

how do i get more ||notches||

seems like ||soul catcher|| is not doing much

[wraith sail]

I was gonna suggest something but then i realized it would backfire more than help

[north solstice]

||im replaying the game does anyone have a good progression guide?||
i GENUINLY ||forgot how to beat the game||

what the EVEN

HOW?

with a 40 minute save

WHAT DO I EVEN DO

is it worth getting ||fury of the fallen||

i dont like it ||im not good at surviving on one hp||
is it still worth getting

[young eagle]

So if I die to ||traitor lord|| but then the ||sac guy sacrifice starts playing does traitor lord die||

[north solstice]

i dont THINK so

[violet ocean]

||are you... in queen's gardens? ||

okay that's kind of cursed

[north solstice]

AND ONLY ONE ||charm||

HOW

HOW DID I GET TO ||QG|| WITH THOSE

[violet ocean]

||and it's sporeshroom 💀||

[north solstice]

YEAH

where do i got first ||when i reach crossroads i genuinly forgot||

[violet ocean]

||well you can go get wings
or, like, any of the dreamers||

[north solstice]

no i just started a new file

[violet ocean]

?

[north solstice]

WHERE IS ||VS||

or ||false knight i guess||

||if you skip ffalseknight how do you get into city?||

[violet ocean]

through ||resting grounds||

[north solstice]

...
how?

[violet ocean]

||...just do false knight||

[modest elm]

Entering ||city without city crest:
-dash
-mantis claw
-Deepnest (any entrance)
-tram pass
-tram from deepnest to basin
-basin into West Cot (broken elevator shaft)
-East CoT.||

[north solstice]

||mACE BUG
||

[modest elm]

So yeah, do ||false knight.||

[violet ocean]

||or, like, just shadeskip to lake then take the elevator||

[north solstice]

BRO

[modest elm]

||If we count sequence breaks then you can beat the game without claw.||

[modest elm]

Fight the boss

[violet ocean]

...good point

[north solstice]

wait ||snail shamen knows you need vs to continue||

[gloomy pond]

he's a smart lil guy

[modest elm]

And ||snail shaman gives it to you.||

[violet ocean]

(even though you literally don't)

[gloomy pond]

do you not?

[violet ocean]

^ ignore that

[north solstice]

whrere dio i go ||after vs||

[modest elm]

||Generally speaking, speedrun strategies and sequence breaks are best left outside of #hk-help, as they generally require technical skill, and can all be considered ways to “ruin” a first playthrough. Which is what this channel tries to avoid doing.||

[modest elm]

||You fight false knight for city crest||

[north solstice]

its not a first playthrough

[north solstice]

you need to fight ||flase kngiht to get to vs||

[modest elm]

You do not : )

[north solstice]

yes you do

[modest elm]

did|| you fight him or did you break the arena||

[violet ocean]

i thought we were trying to not do sequence breaks 😭

[north solstice]

ITS TRHE ONLY PATH

you need to FIGHT ||false knight||
I NEVER SAID KILL

[violet ocean]

well that's true

[modest elm]

Yeah which is what they did

[north solstice]

but i killed him

oh rigfht
||gren path||

[modest elm]

Did you fight him or kill him. What is your goal with this playthrough.

[north solstice]

i never did another playthough after my first

i have NO IDEA where to go

my first playthough was like 2 years ago 🤣

[modest elm]

Well the good news is Ideally you shouldn’t.

[north solstice]

OH RIGHT
||I DONT HAVE ISMAS TEAR||

[violet ocean]

lmao

[modest elm]

Look for unexplored areas on your map.

Go towards those.

Find new ||maps||. Repeat.

[north solstice]

I HAVE EVERYTHING

i jsut need to get ||banish troupe and save zote|| acheivments

[modest elm]

What the hell are you talking about

[north solstice]

wdym

the alternate acheviements

[modest elm]

Oh you just want to do a few achievements

But you don’t remember any of the game

[north solstice]

nope

[modest elm]

Hence why I asked for you goals.

[north solstice]

i dont remmeber

[sonic elbow]

best charms?

[violet ocean]

hmmm... ||zote & banishment%||
now that's a fun category

[sonic elbow]

esp early on

[violet ocean]

show your charms

[modest elm]

Your end objectives:||
-getting to howling cliffs with dreamnail.
-getting to zote and ignoring him completely. ||

[north solstice]

||isnt there a skip here?||

[north solstice]

what
i ignored ||zote in my main||

i said that

[young eagle]

I got ||kingsole|| but how to I use it or do with it

[violet ocean]

saves like 5 minutes you don't need to

[young eagle]

||fireball||

[violet ocean]

||well then you have to fight vk||

[modest elm]

Gotcha||, then you need to kill vengefly king in greenpath.||

[north solstice]

MADE IT

[north solstice]

i was too lazy to in my main

lol

this is terrible camoflauge

WHATS THE POINT

[verbal token]

Anyone have a chart or a utube playlist that holds everything you can do even beyond 112% like extras in hk?

[north solstice]

i forgot about this guy

[modest elm]

@north solstice Your routing, since you want to know exactly what to do.
||-Greenpath(dash) and Kill vengefly king before mantis claw
-Mantis claw
-City of tears (descending dark)
-Ideally have enough relics to sell to purchase lamp.
-go to crystal peak with dive. You can do it normally to get cdash or just ignore everything to get dreamnail.
-Take dreamnail to howling cliffs (top of greenpath, accessible with claw in baldur room)
-summon troupe with dnail

-play through the rest of the game normally because banishment requires access to a lot of areas. ||

Big progression spoilers. Don’t click this if it wasn’t sent to you.

[north solstice]

||do i need to talk to zote?||

||or jsut kill vengefuly king||

[modest elm]

||You also need to encounter zote in the colo to make him appear in dirtmouth||

[modest elm]

You’ve got ||literally most of the game ahead of you if you want to get GPZ’s achievement.||

[north solstice]

ugh

[modest elm]

Tragic, clearly

[violet ocean]

are you missing any other achievements?

[north solstice]

oh well
itll be practise for ||steel soul 100% or whatever it is||

[violet ocean]

those aren't the only ones that require 2 save files anyway

[north solstice]

ALL ||steel song ones||

||mister mushrom||

[violet ocean]

you could just do those
if you get close to dying just quit out

[violet ocean]

||always keep sporeshroom on then||

[north solstice]

thats cheating

[modest elm]

||What did you do to nailmaster|| @north solstice

[north solstice]

IM NOT DOING THAT
IM DOING THAT PROPERALY

[north solstice]

oh i need to ||kill nail master as well||

[violet ocean]

ah

[north solstice]

oh well i was gonna get ||pure nail|| anyway

[modest elm]

Or you could just do a ||steel soul save and banish inside of that|| @north solstice

[north solstice]

||im regretting saving him already||

[north solstice]

no
i need practise anyway

[modest elm]

Then have fun

[north solstice]

polus i was gnoana do a palytrrough for the sake of ti

[modest elm]

Silly

[north solstice]

ignore the typos 🤣

i cant wait to beatr ||zote|| up

[north solstice]

LANGUAGE!!!

when was the game last updated

like bug patch or dlc or whatever

[violet ocean]

uhhhhhhhhh

[north solstice]

how much is ||lanturn||

[violet ocean]

1.8k

[north solstice]

OOF

like 40% there

30%

[violet ocean]

||all you need is 4 hallownest seals
1 in greenpath, 1 from dirtmouth well, 1 from city, 1 from sanctum||

[north solstice]

i already have 600

[violet ocean]

||3 seals then!||

[north solstice]

plus i go on killing streaks a lot

||i also need all the speedrun acheivments||

[violet ocean]

those are pretty lenient tbh, not too hard if you have a somewhat decent route

[north solstice]

NO WAY

I JSUT NEARLY DIED BECAUSE I TRIED ||DASHING||

[violet ocean]

huh

[north solstice]

IN THE ||HORNET FIGHT||

[scenic egret]

those are incredibly lenient imo

[violet ocean]

not if you don't know what you're doing
but yeah

[north solstice]

uhoh

[scenic egret]

people who have gotten at least 1 clear of the game should go a lot faster on the second or more time around, for example i tried any% nmg and did TERRIBLY but still had a lot of time left

[north solstice]

AHHHH

[violet ocean]

u good?

[north solstice]

NO

IM DEAD

HOW DID I NOT KNOW ||WHERE LAKE OF UNN IS||

||where do i go after dash||

[violet ocean]

||claw||

[north solstice]

ooooh

wheres the entrance to ||wastes||

when does ||zote say the 57 seven precepts||

[scenic egret]

||crossroads||

[scenic egret]

||when hes in dirtmouth||

[north solstice]

hes in ||dirtmouth||

[scenic egret]

tags

[north solstice]

hes not saying it

[north solstice]

wdym?

HOW IS ||DIRTMOUTH A SPOILER||

[scenic egret]

is it in the exceptions? no

the main reason we do everything is because hk is nonlinear, and also too many idiots tried finding loopholes

[north solstice]

BUT
YOU FIND IT IN LIKE 5 MINUTES

[scenic egret]

also next time you try to argue rules, come up with EXACTLY what should and shouldnt be a spoiler

[north solstice]

AHHHHH

UH OH

I WILL RETURN SHORTLY
IM ABOUT TO DIE

[scenic egret]

6 minutes is exactly 1 minute away from 5, so its not that bad. and 7 minutes is 1 away from 6, so its also not that bad, and wow hey 8 minutes is close to 7, so its fine and so on

[north solstice]

what

i ahve no diea what im doing

FINAALLY

OH NO

||STREGNTH IS SO EXPENSIVE||

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[modest elm]

@north solstice
#hk-help is intended to be used when you’re stuck or seeking specific advice.
If your aren’t asking a question, talking with someone who’s answering one, or your question can be answered by yourself easily, eg: “what’s in this hole”, you probably don’t need to ask.

Play-by-play (what you’re doing) isn’t recommended here for that reason and a few others.

[violet ocean]

hah

[modest elm]

Seeing as this isn’t your first playthrough, I recommend you head over to #hk-discussion

You can chat/spam there without spoiler tagging content that you aren’t asking for help with.

[north solstice]

||what do i do after i get claw||

[modest elm]

||You already save zote?||

[north solstice]

yea

[modest elm]

||You can go to city to get dive, or save up enough money and relics (mantis lords is good for this) to buy lamp||

||This will put you in a good position for dreamnail, which is needed for GPZ and banishment||

[north solstice]

||city tiiiime||

[modest elm]

Be sure to collect ||relics.||

[north solstice]

||when do you banish grimm?||
||after the first figth?||

[north solstice]

i dotn know where any are

[modest elm]

||You can banish Grimm after the first fight and after talking to brumm. This requires 6 grimmkin kills and the Grimm boss. Plus access to a lot of areas||

[modest elm]

Grab them as you go.

Easy ones post ||claw:
-the well in dirtmouth has one halfway inside it.
-there’s a relic in a breakable wall you can see after leaving the room where the greenpath stag is. (Up and to the left of your camera)||

That’s about|| 650 geo.||

[north solstice]

wheres ||cornifer in wastes?||

[modest elm]

||Mantis lords gives you a geo reward and another relic. So about 1100 geo.||

[north solstice]

thatll be enough

[modest elm]

||Near queens station. ||

[north solstice]

i can get the rest grinding

[north solstice]

alr

[modest elm]

You can get the rest by not dying

[north solstice]

wait
I DONT KNOW WHERE IT IS

IM SO LSOT

[modest elm]

How did you enter ||fungal wastes.||

[north solstice]

||the normal one is crossroafs||

[modest elm]

There is no normal route.

[north solstice]

the one most people find?

[modest elm]

||go left from village. Or down from greenpath||

[modest elm]

||People do a mix of both. In this case I’d argue most people find villiage by exploring more of greenpath after dash and finding canyon, queens station, and fungal.||

[north solstice]

oh
i know where i am know

[north solstice]

theres a path from ||canyon?||

oh wait
i remeber

[modest elm]

Mhm.

[north solstice]

||i found where im going, i found cloth||

[young eagle]

||how do I get my strength charm back from the larva thing (I’m trying to make it unbreakable||

[modest elm]

||You cannot until you pay her in full. 15k geo.||

[young eagle]

Yeah but she won’t give me the option too

[modest elm]

The ||best geo farm is the second round of the colosseum.||

[modest elm]

Keep talking.

[young eagle]

K

[modest elm]

Did you only|| give her strength?||

[young eagle]

Yes

Ok I got it thanks

Now to beat ||radiance||

F this boss

[potent spade]

[heavy blaze]

Talk to her and she'll tell you

[heavy blaze]

Nvm all the stuff other people said didn't load so I didn't see you got an answer

[young eagle]

Crap I accidentally got ||the sibling ending||

[heavy blaze]

Lol

[young eagle]

Can I still get ||te|| or am I screwed

[thin plover]

there is no ||true ending||

||but you are locked out of one of the endings||

[sonic elbow]

now thats a spoiler

[thin plover]

fair enough

[young eagle]

Holy crap this fights long as hell

[north solstice]

WHO SUGGESTED I ||FIGHT MANTIS LRODS RIGHT AFTER GETTING CVLAW||

THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE
any tips?
||i dont have any damage boosting charms||

[violet ocean]

||i know we're not supposed to say this, but honestly,
get good
you really do just have to learn the patterns and spacing and stuff||
||tip: you can usually fit 2 slashes or 1 slash and 1 vengeful spirit every time a mantis lord attacks||

[north solstice]

||i know the patterns||

||i can RADIANT these guys||
but ive NEVER fought them without ||ddark or ddive||

im so used to beating them THAT way

[violet ocean]

||you use dive for mantis lords??||

[north solstice]

yeah
||invincibility and damge||

also i have ||worse charms nail and health then when i first fought the mantis lords||

YO WAIT I GOT IT

[young eagle]

Bruh I can’t even reach the second faze of ||radiance|| I hate this boss so much

[violet ocean]

yay

[violet ocean]

show inventory please

[foggy harness]

||tips for tmg||

[young eagle]

@violet ocean

[violet ocean]

||in phase 1, spam shrieks
equip twister instead of grubsong+steady body||

||use qslash instead of strength, since you don't have max nail and it helps with soul generation||

[young eagle]

Ok

And I died to ||the hk bruh||

[north solstice]

lol

[young eagle]

Crap I forgot ||Mr mushroom|| can I still do that

[sharp torrent]

yes

[violet ocean]

💀

[north solstice]

||how hard is it to learn how to parry properally?||

[sharp torrent]

||it's completely inconsistent and not worth learning. you can dodge every attack in the game without it||

[bright sorrel]

moch 😮

[patent gull]

Is it possible to reach the entrance to ||Pantheon 5 without wings?||

[north solstice]

i dont think so

[sharp torrent]

it is not

[north solstice]

||soul master skipped its fake death animation and jsut instantly slammed through thr ground into phase two||

[sharp torrent]

nick

[patent gull]

Dang, my friend and I were theorizing a run where you beat the game without ||infecting crossroads|| and this is the only thing that’s not possible then

[sharp torrent]

mhm

you'd need a major glitch of some kind

[violet ocean]

probably doable with ||wcs||

[sharp torrent]

of course

[bright sorrel]

moch hop on baba is you

[sharp torrent]

now?

[bright sorrel]

[sharp torrent]

not at my pc

also I've full cleared the main game already

[bright sorrel]

[north solstice]

||charms?||

[violet ocean]

||what? grimm is one of those bosses where you kind of do just need to learn the moveset||

[north solstice]

||how do you get the key for shade soul?||

[violet ocean]

||buy it||

[patent gull]

||don’t hit him when he bows at the beginning||

[bright sorrel]

||SLYS A FLY?!?!||

[patent gull]

We even found a really funny ||shade skip to reach enraged guardian||

[bright sorrel]

unknown

[violet ocean]

[inland moon]

Well why else would you have gotten the spoiler rules

[violet oyster]

[inland moon]

[violet oyster]

||Does anyone know a good method to farm geo, I need so much geo for unbreakable charms||

What

[inland moon]

Send your map

[violet oyster]

[inland moon]

I need to know what you've unlocked

[inland moon]

With a screenshot

[violet oyster]

I’ve unlocked basically every area in the game

[violet oyster]

I’m on mobile and playing on ps5 but I got every area unlocked

[inland moon]

Go to the top of ||kingdom's edge|| then

[violet oyster]

||To colosseum?||

[inland moon]

yes

The second one is best

[violet oyster]

||I’ve finished all except the fool one, can I replay it and still get geo?||

[inland moon]

yes ofc

Do the second one

[violet oyster]

||ok thank you||

[inland moon]

np

[modest elm]

||like they said, def do the second one not the third. Faster||

[violet oyster]

||I haven’t even completed the third one yet it’s so hard||

[grizzled cradle]

hi ppls

how are yall doing today

[kind granite]

||what upgrades and charms should i have before killing a dreamer? Am doint a new run after a lot of time and wanna do it right||

[simple island]

There is no "doing it right" most people cannot reach ||dreamers until they gather a lot of upgrades||
But the game isn’t linear, so you can stumble on ||dreamers|| very early

||Herrah in particular requires nothing besides just buying the lantern, and I’ve seen people get to her before even getting dreamnail||
They aren’t playing the game wrong, they just did unusual routing

[somber hill]

smh ||dreamers|| untagegd

[kind granite]

I see, so its fine if i go and upgrade ||dash and descend and all that before killing thr first?||

[somber hill]

yea

do whatever u feel like doing

as azerod said no "doing it right" and u can go wherever ur abilities allow u to that are unlocked and do it whenever

[kind granite]

Will do then, bcs i was havjng a hard time on ||watchers|| and thought i was washed, but ill go get ||quick slash|| and other stuff to help me out

[urban mulch]

I see. Thanks.

[tepid edge]

||hey yall im gonna do the 2nd trial of colloseum of fools,what should i let go of and what should i equip?||

[past yoke]

I'd swap ||mop for gsong and catcher||, but other than that looks good

[tepid edge]

ok thanks

[tepid edge]

i got cooked

try 2

[somber hill]

💀

pls no burnt pumpkin

[cold surge]

||what charms should i use for nkg||??

[somber hill]

pretty much same as those other bosses u did iirc

just practice him ||he's speedier and attacks have extra||

[cold surge]

will this work

[simple island]

Charms don’t quite matter for ||nkg, strength (it won’t break) and shaman stone are good as they are just straight damage boost
The remaining 3 notches can go about anywhere, heart, quick focus, grubsong, spell twister, quick slash, mark of pride, shape of unn to duck and heal under the bat attack
All of those are kinda equivalent ||

[cold surge]

maybe not ||soul catcher||

i think i might be missing a ||charm notch?||

[somber hill]

yea

[cold surge]

whatt

[somber hill]

11 most

[cold surge]

im at like 105%

[somber hill]

they dont count as %

[simple island]

They don’t count for %

[cold surge]

oh

well do you know which one i might be missing

[somber hill]

go ham azerod

[simple island]

You likely missed the one in ||fog canion (right side of it)||

[cold surge]

what do you have to do to get it i dont remember if i did or not

[somber hill]

moveing

[cold surge]

i mean ||fog canyon|| looks fully explored

[somber hill]

hm

did u perchance forget to ||buy the last one from salubra||

[simple island]

Yeah it’s hidden on the map

[somber hill]

or that

[simple island]

The entrance to that room, though not behind a wall, is hidden

[cold surge]

nah

[simple island]

Near the ||fungal top entrance||, there is an extra room

[cold surge]

[somber hill]

[cold surge]

[somber hill]

this isnt the right wall right

[void wave]

Is it possible to skip ||the soul warrior guarding shade soul on latest patch?||

[sacred flower]

||can't you just kill him it's only a soul warrior||

[somber hill]

idk speedrunning would know better, older patches u prolly know, idk abt newer

if they patched the skip or not

[void wave]

||i want to do a challenge run where i need to get all spells+upgraded versions while killing the least amount of bosses possible||

[cold surge]

so free

[somber hill]

so lets see, ||fireball 0 bosses, dive soulmaster, soul warrior?, howl 0, ss soul warrior unless u can skip, ddark 0, abyss shriek hornet2||

[cold surge]

where do i need to go now

[somber hill]

||waterways||

[cold surge]

[hoary forge]

Ok so googled ||PoP entrance|| and 10 mins in I am re-evaluating my choices, can someone tell me is their any achievement or reward for doing this?

[void wave]

No

[cold surge]

[past yoke]

A ||journal entry||

[void wave]

||well there is but it's a 5 second cutscene||

[hoary forge]

[past yoke]

yep

[cold surge]

yeah

[past yoke]

You do it for fun

[hoary forge]

f this I am not doing this for some lore

[cold surge]

bragging rights

[void wave]

Forcing everyone to do ||pop|| would be evil

[hoary forge]

But it's so tough 😭

I can't even manage to do first couple of jumps properly without dying 5 times

[cold surge]

where lol

[somber hill]

uh wait 1 min

[cold surge]

[void wave]

Then you really shouldn't do it

||there's a section at the end which alone took me an hour||

[clear flint]

I'm pretty sure the answer would be no, but is it possible to transfer a save from PS5 to PC?

[inland moon]

nope

I don't even know a way of moving files from a ps to a pc

[clear flint]

Yeah I knew 99% it wasn't gonna be possible lol but worth asking

[inland moon]

true

[clear flint]

What platform do you play on?

[inland moon]

PC

[cold surge]

ok wheres ||godhome|| im so confused

i just cant find it

[past yoke]

Top left

[cold surge]

omg thank uuu

[forest pewter]

It's tough it makes you better at the game so it's worth it I spend 20 hours on
It the first section alone took me 4 hours but it's all worth it

[hoary forge]

While I agree it will make me better at the platforming but I don’t think there is any other place than ||PoP|| to apply those gained skills?

[inland moon]

Celeste

But yeah ||pop|| only makes you better at ||pop||

[forest pewter]

I Was about say that

[hoary forge]

Oh yeah I have been thinking to try Celeste too after finishing HK

I will definitely do ||pop|| someday but not today 🥲

[mossy stream]

||what should i do now i am lost ||

[tepid edge]

wait wha-

[sacred flower]

[tepid edge]

||tuner||

[mossy stream]

[cold surge]

oh i didnt think to ||dnail|| it

[jade sedge]

?tag uncspoilers trockys read this

[languid radish]

🔹 An unnecessary spoiler is a spoiler (even a tagged one!) that was not directly requested by the user being helped, such as help referencing in-game content that the player has not necessarily reached - Charms build containing Charms they haven’t found, for example. These spoilers, though generally good-intentioned, can harm a player’s experience as any other spoiler would. Remember the game is non-linear; Always make sure to know what a player has and where they’ve reached. A simple screenshot of their map and inventory would tell you all you need to know.

[cold surge]

woahh this area is so cool what

[zealous sentinel]

How do I kill the boss in ||deepnest||

[cold surge]

which one

[zealous sentinel]

Or the ||hive guard||

[zealous sentinel]

[mossy stream]

[zealous sentinel]

Where

[cold surge]

experiement

[mossy stream]

|| whats the way for reaching soul sanctum? ||

[cold surge]

no way

[mossy stream]

[cold surge]

[mossy stream]

||no||

[cold surge]

[mossy stream]

|| dont worry i am in the exit of city of tears and the entrance on fungal wastes||

[cold surge]

[cold surge]

[mossy stream]

inside

[cold surge]

ok wait

why dont you have the map anyways lol

btw you are where to the left at the entrance to ||fungal||

[mossy stream]

yep

||thanks||

[jade sedge]

You shouldnt send people full maps, they have unnecessary spoilers

[cold surge]

oh mb

is there a map for ||god home|| btw? i dont want to wander around for nothing

[inland moon]

No, but it's like 5 rooms lol

Go down for ||hog||, go back up for ||pantheons||

[cold surge]

oh

[vivid fog]

should i delete it

nvm

[cold surge]

yes

[vivid fog]

they deleted themselfs

[jade sedge]

They saw it already so doesnt help much anymore but i guess yeah it'd rule-breaking enough

[mossy stream]

|| dw i completed the game||

he didnt spoil anything for me

[vivid fog]

ah

[inland moon]

Then why can't you get to ||soul master||

I shouldn't talk lol but still

[mossy stream]

i have finished this game like 5 months ago

[jade sedge]

Oh you have 112% on another save?

[mossy stream]

we are talking here

[jade sedge]

What

[cold surge]

||are the pantheons thingy just alot of bosses||

[inland moon]

mhm

[mossy stream]

|| yes||

[cold surge]

and what are ||bindings||

[mossy stream]

|| challenges||

[cold surge]

like debuffs?

[mossy stream]

yeah\

[cold surge]

oh cool

WHAT

||so radiant is just supposed to be hitless?||

[jade sedge]

Yeah

[cold surge]

thats stupid

||gruz mother|| hard enough

[tawny sapphire]

[cold surge]

on ||ascended|| lol

[jade sedge]

Its supposed to be hard, but yes it is slightly lazy and i wouldnt call it as fun as other stuff in the game

[cold surge]

yeah

||do spikes and other stuff in the arena one shot as well?||

[mossy stream]

|| welcome to godhome||

[cold surge]

i cant imagine doing like ||grimm radiant||

[cold surge]

also is ||attuned|| just the same boss but different arena

[inland moon]

Bosses like ||gruz mother|| have way more hp so you don't 2 shot them but other than that yeah

[cold surge]

ok thanks

i was so confused how it didnt die like instantly lol

[void wave]

||doing NKG radiant is easier than doing gruzmother radiant for me||

[cold surge]

lol how

ok im gonna try ||false knight radiant i think this is the only one i can do easily||

[cold surge]

wait theres ||dream versions??||

[void wave]

||gruzmom has annoying attacks and spikes||

[cold surge]

yeah i guess

second try

on ||radiant||

[inland moon]

Or just ask here

Not me though I sleep now

[acoustic sigil]

Most people don't like to use vc

To help

[void wave]

Yes

[forest pewter]

Finaly found someone who think ||NKG radaint is one of easiest ||

[forest pewter]

Don't worry she's pretty rough for first try on || God home but it gets significantly easier the more you play in God home ||

[forest pewter]

Accutally thats pretty easy boss I would say even || marmu collector radaint is harder ||

[elder smelt]

where are the save files stored?

[cold surge]

ok

[forest pewter]

If u can beat normal your almost 60% prepared for ||radiant fight|| of him cuz he's very predictable

[cold surge]

took me like 10 tries for ||ngk||

but i cant see myself doing it without getting hit

[forest pewter]

Only 10 ? Wow your really good

[cold surge]

actually not 10 i tried before and gave up

but today i tried again and got him in like 10

[forest pewter]

It took me 5 hours for first time and then I beat his ||radiant|| in less than 20 tries

[cold surge]

ohh im talking about normal ||ngk||

[cold surge]

i think if you get to a point where you try for 5 hours take a break or something

[forest pewter]

Yeah I am talking about normal
The normal took me 5 hours

[cold surge]

oh

i think its just fiding out when you can heal

then it becomes way easier

[forest pewter]

Did you try any of ||pantheons||

[cold surge]

i tried one of them

i think it was ||sage||

i got to ||grimm at 1 mask and died||

[forest pewter]

Lol why did u go for the most anyoing pantheon

[cold surge]

how was i supposed to know lol

it was the first one i saw

[forest pewter]

U should do the ||pantheon of master and artst ||
I've seen some people beat them first try

[molten apex]

I found an extremely good method for farming Geo early game. It gives me 20 Geo and with my current movement speed (using ||dash||) takes 24 seconds to complete.

[wraith talon]

How do I beat ||grimmkin nightmares||

[cold surge]

just take your time

[forest pewter]

||shade cloack||

[cold surge]

ill try that

[wraith talon]

alr

[forest pewter]

Also put an ||dream gate gate near them before trigering the fight ||

[cold surge]

i just wanna fight some of the ||bosses|| first

[cold surge]

you cant know if he unlocked that yet

[wraith talon]

Oh shid I havent got ||dream gate||

[forest pewter]

How much dream essence u have?

[wraith talon]

🤦

[cold surge]

you need to spoiler alot of those

[wraith talon]

700

[forest pewter]

Yes my bad I will be carefully next time

[molten apex]

What level do I need to be in the server to gain permission to the vc?

[vivid fog]

Pls read this #support-and-faq message

You don't need levels to gain permission to VC

Just let the new knight role disappear by itself

[cold surge]

is this ||life blood||?

[molten apex]

Thank you, you’re awesome.

[vivid fog]

Np :D

Now i must disappear

[undone flower]

yes

[vivid fog]

[molten apex]

I’ve joined servers with a bs level up system for accessing everything, requiring you to have spent so much time active on the server to do literally anything.

[forest pewter]

If you don't have || it u probably are not ready for the rest of grim truope dlc ||I recommend finishing off the main game first

[vivid fog]

I see

[cold surge]

thanks iroh

[molten apex]

Have fun

[cold surge]

lol

[wraith talon]

ok

[undone flower]

holy

[cold surge]

[wraith talon]

|||One for each completed binding||

[cold surge]

[cold surge]

[forest pewter]

[cold surge]

[wraith talon]

[forest pewter]

|| dream of false knight and soul master are the only one needed for for 112% ||

Wait nvm

[sacred flower]

[wraith talon]

||WaitThereIsMoreThan100%😳||

[sacred flower]

[forest pewter]
