do tat i guess
||ooh alr ty|| this doesnt need to be in spoilers 😂
||theres a guy chucking fireballs at me. i'll beat him up||

What??? Who???
||like a lizard hes spitting out balls||
Oh u can't kill for now
wha
Come back to him in like 2 hours
In ||crossroads?||
Yes || baldur ||
sure
U need an projectile
ill find it
Good luck 
Not a lizard nor does it shoot fire balls hence the confusion
You're close to the map then
just follow the big room with platforms down
True but I had more information so it was quite easy to know what he was talking about
ill come back lateer this looks threatening
hit the spikes
ok
U can|| slash downwards|| to gain momentum or come back later
downwards
If you can't figure out how to do something, come back later
let him just play the game
i failed miserebly
true why is he in discord when he just started 😭
Yeah I don't recommend doing it now
bro play blind thats the best way to play this game
It’s something that would cause you some mental pain just go back at a later date
i am
ok
This is good general advice for the game. There are other places you can go. Also, if any boss is too hard, you can come back with better resources.
also i think i foudn the big room
Now I have sudden urge to play silk song
Yeah just do what I did and stumble ass backwards into progression half of the time
bye guys im out
Me up until ||Mantis Lords:||
Arby, I'm not having trouble with them-
||Mantis Lords was the first boss that forced me to follow my own advice.||
I just followed the gamer mindset
What advice ? 
This advice.
I beat the game LONG before I joined this server and the only boss I ever looked up a guide to was ||Grimm|| not ||NKG||
||TMG||
I honestly feel like || mantis lords || are less fun when u have more upgrades

I had literally nothing lol
||One nail upgrade, dash, fireball, and some bad charms||
It’s the opposite for me
I sucked at the game (still kinda do), so I got very frustrated. After dying for the seventh time, one starts to swallow their pride.
Lol
Seventh
Rookie numbers
But I also felt like the game was telling me to come back later at that point.
I died to ||Hornet|| and ||false knight|| more times then I could ever count and yet I just threw myself at them
hollow knight, the only game that makes finding a bench exciting
It didn't tell me to do that with ||Lost Kin||. I probably attempted that guy at least 40 times before admitting defeat.
how do i put a spoiler
||I tryed THK 113 times before stopping||
so i don’t leak info
||Like this.||
||||
thanks boss
Got Imapaitent at 7 ?
Wow

Funny you mentioned that, I joined this server a few days ago to ask for advice with ||THK|| in the 5 hour run.
I don’t swallow my pride or have a godly level of patience I’m just more stubborn then Team Cherry
Fr
|| radiance || was like 12 hours for me 
so how do i beat ||p5|| it’s my last trophy for plat and i gotta start a new save cause my data got lost
I threw myself at her for ages. Scream a lot
I’d still like to know that tbh
Same but now she feels so God damm easy it's feels impossible to believe I spent 12 hours on her
I counted my attempts with ||NKG|| when I targeted him. I knew I'd struggle before starting, so I read some tips beforehand. Still took me 68 attempts.
You couldn’t throw one more?
I would've choked on 69 too and you know it.
Ahem
69th*
*68
oops
You could of said you at least TRIED for greatness
||grind the bosses (particularly the last 5 or so) in the hall of gods until you're consistent with them, ideally on ascended||
thanks dawg i’ll dedicate the win to you
It took me ages
Or you can just throw your self at it brute forcing your way though it and eventually break your device when you die at the last fucking ||bosses last fucking phase||
I haven't done ||P5|| yet, and it honestly terrifies me because I want to achievement hunt this game to completion. My plan is to ||practice on all the bosses by attempting their harder versions charmless||. Once I can do that, I'll feel decent about my chances, but it's going to be a long grind, I'm sure.
It is
Fuck
I want to break Ari Gibsons fingers
hes a robot
Not a bad idea
Or whoever the fuck coded her
oops

IT WASN’T ME
||wayward compass goated charm or no?||
The best
always have that baby on me
||Absolutely broken. It's absurd that it's only one notch.||
team cherry gotta nerf soon or else it’s the next ||flukenest||
It’s better then ||flukenest||
Damn that's a deep cut
wish it didn’t die on us
You jest, but ||the WR speedrun of P5 uses Flukenest, and it's pretty gnarly.||
is the strat for ||p5 flukes??||
Probably
Could be.
I might try a ||heal build|| personally, but it remains to be seen what'll jive best with my play style.
||Flukenest I imagine only really works if you know exactly what you're doing.||
arby funny enough i work at arby’s
I've never been to an Arby's myself. 
missing out on the discounts you could have
Hehe
Yo what's happening
|| unbreakable strentgg shaman quick slash and unbreakable heart || is all u need for || p5 || fr fr
is this meme approved
not approved, deleted
Nvm it has spoilers
ohh right right my mistake
keep forgetting to spoiler it
im not gonna lie, this game is GOATED
that’s why we’re all here
Out of curiosity, is general consensus that ||p5|| is harder than ||steel soul 100%||? The latter has fewer completions on Steam, but it feels like it should be a more doable task.
What charms do yall recomand for ||Pantheon 3 past Grimm||, also i want a nail build
i keep accidentally hitting upwards with the nail when trying to hit straight ahead… why does this happen. i play on controller
If u hold up on the joy cons it will hit upwards
i know
i feel like ||p5|| is the harder option only because you only get one shot at it, in the other option you can save and quit at any point
but im not holding up intentionally
stick drift could be
oh no...
or isnt it that the controller is sensituve to movement
Endgame stuff here, which charms should i use though? i want a nail build
it isn’t?
oh thank god. stick drift sucks
Do you think it's controller error or you error?
you just said he’s bad how dare you
im just trying to hit straight ahead but apparently i was holding the button up…
even tho i cant feel me holding it up
If the issue is with the user, that means the user can control and fix it. I'd prefer that over a drifting controller.
the user might not prefer that 
Are you able to replicate the behavior when you're precisely controlling the movement, or does it only occur when you're in the middle of combat?
in the middle of combat i think
Any charm suggestions?
oh its just accidently upslashing
i think ur just having miss inputs like you hold it far too up
thats not a big problem at all
for what?
I'm in ||P3|| past ||grimm||
That makes me think it's you messing up the inputs on accident. You may just need to practice. (So do I.
)
Gotta delete this, spoilZ
I can alter between ||Spells cuz i did do some radiant bosses whit spell infulecd builds|| ALSO IT IS SPOILED
Weird, it wasn't for me. Sorry.
🛶
did u have auto-unspoiler on or was internet bad
sometimes ppl dont see a spoiler and say 'oh mustve been my internet/wifi'
||Sharp shadow is the weakest choice you have right now. You might improve by replacing it and longnail mark of pride and your favorite 1 charm notch.||
I have ||Sharp Shadow on cuz i use it to get through beast tamer and Grimm but il change it now||
It was probably user error on my end. :^)
Reflexively unspoiled w/o consciously noticing I did it.
Okay, that time I definitely didn't unspoil the image.
Perhaps I have a setting enabled.
My client might just be acting up. It's there now.
jeez arby pc is dying

i still beat bugs with nails irl mostly

||why is zote so aggressive to me||
remember to use spoiler tags 
thank u haha

Because he is sigma male and u are alpha 
and I am omega
Mods Brain rot ain't against the rules 

Wtf is happening.
huh?
||Precept Five: 'Strength Beats Strength'. Is your opponent strong? No matter! Simply overcome their strength with even more strength, and they'll soon be defeated.||
im uploading my first video 
betterr be a banger
what
how is 1st video deifintly a banger 
its probably the worst u'll get
10seconds left till utube gets it 
oh bruh it needs to process 
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
video is too long 
wtf its only 23-4 minutes tho
AAAA need to verify
RAAAAH IT HAS TO REUPLOAD THE WHOLE THING
Charm suggestions for ||P3 post grimm||
i have a loadout but idk if u want it cuz its a ||hybrid loadout (spell and nail): shaman stone, strength, qslash, [twister or gsong and steady body]||
K
L
M
anything works, its up to you to choose.
although I do recommend ||strength + quick slashes||
ye that works nicely
it doesnt work
it kinda destroys
Major threat is out of the way

||p5|| was a real nightmare, after ||40 minutes to NKG/Pure Vessel||, I lost all my energy and lost even though I had beaten them on ||Radiant|| twice before
It means that if you take a break it's going to be easy after you restored energy
Yeah you always gotta take breaks when trying that
I did the same with ||PoP|| and after that I beat it all straight from the beginning in less than half an hour
Take a break and don't give up!

I think partly because you play well, I was stuck there for 4 hours
I know what these are, just forgot we are in help 
I think I should just try ||p5|| once a day, it's too long to persist continuously for a short period of time
I have a Nasa PC and I'm generally good at parkour, tho I'm stuck at the third and not at the fifth as you, you are much better in combat
1 hour a day?
Yeah I’d try a couple times a day at max
That’s what it took for me
I used ||qslash, strength, mark of pride, steady body, and compass for the entirety of p3||
||didnt try it for a while, came back, did one attempt, practiced the bosses I struggled on, then got it||
||I would recommend shaman instead of MOP||
For the last enemy spells are not that useful
maybe, I need to recover a little
Question, why is ||COMPASS|| used?
Like does it have a hidden buff?
Yes
It comforts you being one of your first charms
still useless
||ik shaman is probably better but it's worked out for me so far||
It has the not hidden buff showing you where you are
(it's a joke but also there isn't really anything else good to put there so eh)
||Gsong||
It is the strongest ||charm|| in ||Godhome||
I just hold forward and add ||Long Nail||

Ehhhh who cares about ||extra soul in a nail build right...||
I love ||overcharming||
Totally
Oh wait
LET ME DO THE ||PANTHEON|| 🗣️ ‼️ 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
me 
Obviusly I have to remove the best charm of the game to do so...
Yeah no|| sbody|| lets you get full dps out of ||qslash|| hits sorry
(||Wayward Compass||)
Removing ||sbody|| for ||longnail|| is a DPS decrease 
Yes
I do so
How to get hollow knight skins
Also removes the hidden buff from ||compass|| that gives you a 1/silksong release date chance to deal 3000 damage with your nail instead of normal
So one chance in a Googol or so?
(10^100)
no just no chance
unless youre someone who actually pays attention and realizes its actulaly 1/9998 chance
Fellas silksong will probably be out next year or next next year
ITS INCREASE YOUR DAMAGE BY 60000%
WHY WOULD NOT USE IT?

What tf does
||compass||, it’s a meme
Yeah I’m hoping next year
||Compass|| has no damage
|| wayward compass || obviously
SPOILERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
It's the best charm but no damage
Satan don’t look at that
Yeah don't 
At what
Got deleted
guys what are the best mod bosses?
|| God's of battle || ?
|| immortal light
Corrupted kin / vessel
Tribes of battle ||
|| pale shadow ||
Uh and || absoulte zote ||
|| mantis gods || is probably the best
Or || tribes of battle ||
I think ||pale court|| has the best modded bosses
They are the fight which are closest to vanilla hollow knight in terms of design
Oh right I totally forgot about that
One day, if you get 7 bucks and a working pc you may play those
Uh my hollow knight isn’t opening
7 bucks is doable
But the pc is sadly not for me 
Did you install any mods ?
Then do a #1057825333841240104 post, including all the info specified in the faq at the top of the post list
If the game crashes on boot then the issue will quickly be solved tbh
Kk
||can someone give an advice for beating NKG
||
dodge first, then attack, learn to dodge all his moves before learning how to kill him fast
||guys is it better to use descending dark or shade soul?||
If you are confused about how to dodge, I can share
Both are useful in their own way, but|| Shade Soul|| is more useful in most cases (and easier to use)
|| if i have to output the most dps what should i use?||
Do you have the upgraded version of ||Howling Wraiths||?
my favourite is ||abyss shriek||
yes, but it is quite difficult to use 
yeah

You found your reason
not yet
i dont even have the base version yet
Go for it and it will ||deal the most damage of all the Spells, especially when combined with Shaman Stone||
||descending dark is better||
do you think he has it 
||ask him if he has the upgraded version of desolate dive||
Usually you ask people a screenshot of their inventory to start
It helps not spoiling them needlessly and not having to do constant guessing games
||Shade soul is 40 per cast with shaman stone
80 if it hits twice which often happens on enemies that take knockback or big foes
Ddark if all the hits, including the knight going down hits does 88
So ddark has more dps, but shade soul is much easier to hit||
Usually the limiting factor is soul anyway

How can I get out of the ||city of tears||?
||After I entered there, the gates closed behind me. I seem to have explored the whole city, but I can’t go up near the gate, the door is closed (screenshot). And gates still closed :/||
You need to open it from the other side
i understand it, but idk how i can get to the other side. Maybe i miss something, Ill try to walk again maybe
Yeah there is a somewhat hidden path just a bit further down below, many people miss it
Once you find it the map should open a bit more and you will eventually be able to leave
thanks, Ill try to find it again
Go down then right then up then right then up then left then hit the lever
commas 
Don't forget || triple hit does 120 || 
The answer is going up from another side
||can you get infinite essence? should i worry about not using dreamgate much||
You can get ||random essence from killing enemies
And if you have used essence through dreamgate and are below what you should have because of it, that chance for random essence is heavily multiplied
So yeah, the cost is absolutely negligible ||
Isn’t it like boosted to like 1/300 from like 1/600 or are the numbers different
Check wiki

For the love of guntera, please use 
So I hit this spot in ||godhome and suddenly the sky started screaming and the top of the map became accessible. I can walk there but I can't see anything.||
tag your message ||like this||
not >!
mb
uh wtf?
I have a video
did you do the first 4 ||pantheons||?
Just the first 3
that shouldn't have happened then wtf
that only happens after the 4th one
I even alt f4'd twice and was able to recreate it both times
Nope
ok idfk then, probably some obscure glitch
I assume this is how you get to ||p5|| normally
sorta
But for me I can't get there
do ||p4||
I can walk up there but the camera doesn't even pan up
Yeah I meant this is how you would get there after ||p4||
Maybe you somehow got the cutscene of the ||door below to happen while you where standing above|| ? Sounds weird
And you shouldn’t be talking about ||light from above||
I hope you don’t end up corrupting your save or something mildly unpleasant
God I hope not that's my og save from 2019
Just do ||p4||
And hope nothing bad happens
Ye I'll just alt f4 out of this
it's 163 iirc
I wouldn't know it's your ||journal||

To spoiler tag just surround the message with || from bother sides
Good idea thx
It isn't about you lol it's about rules
U gotta tag all message 
Ohhhhh didnt know
What are the best Nvidia App settings for the game?
Do you really need to optimise how hollow knight runs ?
I need to optimize everything it's in my blood
I just plop everything on max settings and just get like 300 frames on my 7 year old setup
If you have a modern card, you don’t have to think too hard about any of this lol
The reason we use spoilers is because there are other people here who are new and dont have 112%
I'm thinking more towards better image quality than fps, because my rtx3060 does more than my refresh rate in 1440p
(I doubled checked, and I do have a 7 year old graphic cards)
Which one?
Radeon 580 rx
And it runs the game on 300+ frames
Yeah that makes sense
So… whatever you do, you will have more than what your monitor can show
So set it on max quality, with no frame generation and stuff, cuz you have no reason not to
Be on a 14 hour train ride with no wifi

We do this to be considerate of multiple conversations taking place. Two vertical bars on either side of text will tag it as a spoiler - ||This is a spoiler.|| > ||This is a spoiler.|| Alternatively, adding /spoiler at the start of a message will tag it.
🔹 If you have sent an untagged message, you must either edit it to include spoiler tags or delete it.
spoiler tags please! And yes, hollow knight is a metroidvania so you'll unlock more stuff as you go
...how is that a spoiler it's literally in the controls menu from minute one
Still a spoiler
check the pins, not everybody checks the controlls immediatly
Jesus ok
||dreamnail is a spoiler||
||where are the mantis lords at I've been lookin for 2 hours and cannot find them||
you know you could have just done it in five seconds without getting mad first
show map
k gimmie a sec
Below ||mantis village theres a parkour section to get below mantis village in mantis village.||
Show your inv
k i gotta take a picture rq
The name of this channel is kind of ironic ngl
thx, found the ||Whispering Root||.
|| Ihave all the mask shards except one cuz the boss glitched and won't spawn anymore what do I do||
lemme guess
I think you should spoiler that
I got picture
Bruh
Not this again 😭
"Sorry for being unhelpful, btw use spoiler tags. Thank you"
Yes I used it but can yall help fr now
ok if you hate this channel so much already you can just. ask in #hk-discussion where spoilers don't matter?
Which boss?
Idk his name but he looks like a crystal
Because that's not a channel for beginner questions AFAICT?
Well the purpose of those rules are to avoid being spoiled. Imagine if you got spoiled on the final boss when you just started the game
Happened a bunch of times already, it was always on me and I don't care
I already did 💀
Who's already asking for help at the beginning of the game 😭
I'm just saying it would be a lot easier if you stopped being mad about it and just followed the channel rules outlines in the pins
Some ppl come here to ask if they should buy the game
A lot of people
Thats crazy
Some people ask where to find the first boss
Anyway it doesnt rly matter. Ppl come to this channel because they need help and dont want to be spoiled
Damn they should at least try and look for the bosses lmao
If you wanted to be spoiled you could always look up a guide, what this community provides is subtle hints rather than answers
Breh
Lot of words for saying it's unhelpful, but okay
Its a channel for all hk stuff, asking for help doesnt break any rules. You cant expect any answers there though
Okay we offtopic can someone help me now 😭
How the hell did i put up with hkhelp back in the day jesus lord ive been here 5 minutes and i already hate it
would you rather just follow a set of instructions than play the video game
What do you need help with
God I thought this community was more akin to Soulsborne ones, not everything has to be some anti-spoiler hugbox
||I'm stuck on 8 masks cuz 1 of the shards I was supposed to get from a boss didn't spawn||
Anyway I'm out, have fun
Glitched boss
First reload the game
which boss? I assume ||the one in crossroads|| right
So what happened was I died respawnes went to the room and didn't see the boss or the thing I was supposed to get as a reward
Oh yeah do what nebenio said if you havent
||enraged guardian||
||No in crystal peak||
Ah
Can you send a screenshot
There's nth there tho what would I even show
You respawn at your last save/||bench||
Yes?
Eh i guess i just want to make sure you are not just confusing two places before redirecting to technical support
I misunderstood what you were asking
Have you ever had any mods installed
No its the boss that nebino said
No im on switch
If save quitting doesnt fix it, ask in #1057825333841240104 and make sure to say its vanilla and switch. I doubt a bit youll get it fixed though if its switch
||So youre sure its enraged and not crystal guardian? And you havent taken it?||
Okay I'll go to the bench under where he's at save quit and see what's up
Press the home button then close the software then reopen the game
||It's the second phase ik it's the enraged one||
Okay I'll do that
||crystal guardian isnt guarding a mask shard||
The one above him
The room above
I'm here and there's nth and the lil area where the thingy should be at is empty
Have you restarted the game and your switch
Yes
Then 
||So then I gotta beat the rest of the game with 8 masks 😿||
||does the boss just not appear?||
God, I can confirm you are bad @hearty tulip
Sorry
Nths there just empty no boss
nono
low%
11% is minimum
||you've killed crystal guardian?||

You can make a post in #1057825333841240104
||This all started when I was watching a vid to find out where all the shards were and I checked all areas and this is the only one that didn't give me a shard and I even did the delicate flower thing||
But I dont mod
Just use the un-modded tag
You sure? Unmodded this is something that shouldnt happen at all
Youve never modded or modified your save?
They’re on switch so they cant
Well yeah thats even less
You probably overlooked somewhere or went to the wrong place
on the other hand they are on switch so anything can happen
Tbh I'm done with this I'll just only have 8 ig
On switch you have barely any options
True
But getting locked out of an item forever isn't very good
Weh?
I cant say much because i dont know what words to use
||Time for Ascended Soul Tyrant again||
What i mean is its a lot easier to unbug things on other consoles
Have you beat ||THK charmless yet?||
Norp
Ah, you are very good at being the worst possible at the game
That's good to know actually
||Thats true ending low%||
Ah yeah
working on that !!
||good luck with white palace||
||1% gameplay 99% bees||
thanks
Why do you have ||p5|| and 63/63 achievements in your name ||p5|| is an achievement
Yeah, but ||p5|| is big enough I wanted to highlight it seperately
Some people don’t realise what 63/63 refers to
Is this any good for ||NKG|| ?
||it’s not too bad but I would consider putting nailmaster’s glory in there somewhere||
||heart also isn’t great in that||
I honestly struggle to find time to use ||nail arts||
like at all
its too dangerous
||for nkg they’re the best option, charge constantly and hit him with it whenever you’d get a normal hit. No riskier than normal||
||My experience with NKG was that learning the patterns was more important than optimizing your charm build. I remember I used quick focus then I went against him (which you don't have, rip), but also that I didn't get anywhere until my reaction to his attacks became like clockwork.||
||great for getting the most out of the very small openings||
So what do you think would be optimal for the fight?
If by optimal you mean dealing the most damage, ||nail arts|| seems sensible. If by optimal you mean beating him as fast as possible, that depends on your strengths and weakness as a player. You'd probably be better off experimenting with different combos.
||Nkg does not benefit from charms|| much
Like optimally it would be ||quick slash shaman strength but like
Quick slash barely helps, shaman does help for the fire pillar but that is about it
Going for more defensive stuff with heart or shape of unn or quick focus is very acceptable ||
comparatively u can use ||cyclone during pillars and do the same damage||
I really benefitted from ||quick focus|| like I said before, but that was mostly because it ||gave me a more forgiving window when healing during bats||. Other than that, I just patiently chipped away at him, which ||quick slash|| helped with. Never used ||spells or nail arts||.
I actually disagree with that
Reasoning?
guys, do you have any way to erase the achievements from within the game? my brother wants to play for my pc but discouraged because of the achievements
im using the HK from steam
I found a boss called ||The mantis lords and am STRUGGLIN. Am I using bad charms or is this a skill issue?||
Practice issue / if you havent already attempted the boss over 25 times you dont need to ask for help yet excluding charms help
||Mantis lords is always hard, that charm setup is probably one of the best options you have at this point||
||How many masks and what nail level do you have?||
Uncspoiler 
||I'm on my fourth attempt, it's getting close to the second most attempts on a boss so far, I have 6 masks and my nail has only been upgraded once.||
||I've talked to them before and I know they're fine with this amount, they've beaten BV||
Yeah that should be fine but on the lower end
awesome!
he was a very fun fight
||Mantis Lords is the boss you told me to do last night right?||
What’s the difference between ||atuned troop master grim|| and ||assended troup master grim|| besides ||2x dmg||
||all bosses on ascended gain (approx) 60% health||
💀 that’s a lot lol
What about ||radiant|| is that any different
Its really good for practice
I don’t think I did but I know others did
||you get oneshot lmao||
||radiant has the same health as ascended but instakills you||
||Ok so no difference in the actual boss good to know||
We’ll time to play nothing but ||grim|| for the next week lol
He's easy

He’s easy norm but it took me like 40 minutes to do him ||assended|| let alone ||radiant|| that will take like 10 hours lol

It took me 30 minutes for ||radiant tmg||
Nice
Can I just say my hardest ||radiant|| is ||false knight|| and I completely fail for ||gruz mother and vengfly king lol||
||i took a really long time/1 hour to beat both of those||
||radiant gruz and vengefly are honestly wildly hard for what they are||
||i've practiced absrad for 10 hours and i've only got to the last phase twice||
||the screams are the main difficulty of vengefly king radiant||
lol 50% of the time I make it to like second ||pufferfish|| and the other half I die before I can even do dmg
Ok I think I’m going to take of ||quickslash|| it isn’t doing anything
Do you want help with the fight?
I know the fight well enough on my own I just really need to figure out my charm build
Show your charm inv
||replace soul catcher and eater with longnail and mark of pride||
Holy crap I did an attempt while waiting for your response and somehow beat it
I never got to half way before that lol
Congrat i told you it was easy
I just locked tf in I guess
Yeah thank you for your help though
||how many pantheons have you completed?||
1
1 2 or 3?
2 is easy
Yes
Nice
Yeah I made it to ||sheo|| and he doesn’t seem that hard
1-4 are percents and achievements and ||5 is for happiness because the suffering is finally over|| and an achievement
I just damage tanked him
||p5 speedrun and steelsoul|| are the reasons I’m not even trying to get all achs

Why no speedrun 
Hard
It's really easy even with minimal skill...||excluding the watcher knights||
Just plan a route
This feels good all my friend ever does is brag about being 109% and beating|| p2||
Ok I’ll do that if I ever get 112
||is two nail upgrades against soul tyrant too little?||
it’s not?
Its not too little
It will prob be hard but not impossible
yeah ill give it a try
Part 1 ||try to complete kings pass in under 2 minutes this isnt very difficult you just need to not fall to many times after you exit kings pass go through crossroads until you get to gruz mother after you defeat gruz mother go to the lower layer and go left to the open house to save sly, go left until you see a sign that shows a picture of a stag go up then left through the husk room kill false knight and collect city crest and the geo, go to the ancestral mounds then bench here and dont bench again until you've beat hornet, collect vengeful spirit and go down "the path to the baldur" collect soul catcher then go to greenpath bug skip/fireball skip (more details about (vengefly pogo in a seperate message) murder hornet then collect mothwing cloak, benchwarp back to the ancesteral mounds bench (to benchwarp you need to exit the save file then re-enter the save file because when you exit your save file it brings you back to the last bench you used benchwarping does not work after beating soul master or saving a dreamer as those hardsave your game) go to fungal wastes, go down to mantis village then get mantis claw go up until you can go right to enter city, get a nail upgrade, sell all of your relics to lemm then go up to soul master but before fighting him collect spell twister (in a room right and up of soul master this collecting these charms is optional) after defeating him and collecting desolate dive go up the elevator then travel to dirtmouth. buy lumafly lantern from sly then travel to crystal peaks and kill crystal guardian. Part 2 soon||
Part 2 ||collect crystal dash then go to the dark section (of crystal peaks) and crystal dash over the big hole then go into the building to do the platforming and then collect descending dark. after collecting descending dark jump into the big hole (this brings you down into resting grounds) go right to collect dreamnail then descending dark into the broken grave. go left towards the elevator after going down the elevator buy the kings station stag then go right towards the lurien tower and go up 1 floor on the right side of the room you see a high block that you cant reach but instead of getting monarch wings you can perform something called an object pogo if an object is tall enough jumping and pogoing it makes you go higher than jumping to your maximum height so what you need to do is jump pogo the object dash to the wall then use claw to climb up the wall (this is usefull because it is very easy to complete hollow knight without monarch wings) part 3 soon||
how do I get up to the left? this is near the ||long lake in greenpath with all of the dudes in the acid||
From the left
Mhm
I'm gonna do this for hopefully the only time, but can you give me a hint of where to go next? I'm kind of lost and I know that I need to beat ||The dreamer guys with the icons on the map, but I'm stuck on the boss fight with the like 6 ball dudes in city of tears|| and figured I'd go try elsewhere
Show inventory
What boss?
Hi! ||Will defeating nightmare grimm unlock the third godhome trial? Pretty sure it's the only thing in the game yet to complete||
No its ||troupe master grimm||
||I think the boss is called like the watcher knights or something like that||
|| ah thank you. Is that unlocked after defeating nightmare grim?||
DO NOT FIGHT THAT GUY YET!!!
No ||you need to beat him to unlock NKG||
||wait I'm currently attempting the first fight in the grim troupe. Is that not nightmare?||
||thats troupe master||
||ahhh okay so defeat him and I'm good to continue godhome. Thank you!||
where would you suggest going then? cause I'm now at that point of asking for a nudge of where to go
||so theres a guy on the left of city of tears that you NEED to find before watcher knights||
Who are you referring to?
Generally getting more charms, mask shards, soul fragments etc. Is advisable
||does anyone have a map for all mask shard location?||
But also try and ||get to the other few dreamers||
Not sure if there’s that specifically but we can tell you where they are
Which ones do you have so far?
thats the problem idk
Look on search engine if you have unlocked the whole map
i have checked google for a map
you're talking about the ||Icons on the map right?||
Mhm
but it shows every but the ||shards||

||goam parkour isn't a location||

||how to get into deepnest zote chamber cause i can hear him butcant find a entrence||
||bretta's house isn't useful if he hasn't found bretta yet||
Hint: you have to go around
thanks
The entrance for ||zote|| is not in the current room so dont waste your time flailing
got it


yasssssssssssss , do it 🫃🫄
what are those emojis
||well, I learned to dodge his attacks before attacking him myself. Since you lose control for a split second as you use a nail art I find it pretty disrupting to use over my regular nail.||
how in tarnation do you ||Get more damage off on Uumuu, I feel like I'm only able to hit it once or twice before it goes immune again||
ppl use ||upslash/downslash so u don't get sideways knockback which is harder to recover from and ppl also use spells to dmg the crap out of uumuu||
I'm doing something wrong then, cause I'm doing exactly that and getting like ||8 or 9 immune breaks before I die||
||what’s your nail upgrade at? You should generally be able to get 2-3 nail hits per opening||
it's ||only upgraded once||
I'm legitimately struggling more with this boss than I did on ||Soul master||
yea that boss was quite simple
||Soul master took me 27 attempts...||
I'm now at 30 on this boss
||after 30 hours of peak gaming I did it. Decide for me should I radiant all of hog?||
oh I beat it!
||zote got you pregnant?
||
oh...
Yes
those emojis are abailable, might as well use it no?
