How many ||areas|| have you unlocked?
@brisk cave there is a iron door that idk where to open from to get to cornifer at city of tears
@brisk cave
oh wait
How can I get to the ||pantheons|| ?
To help avoid being lost, ||buy maps from Cornifer (or his wife in Dirtmouth If you missed him), and have the quill bought from Cornifer's wife, as well as the Wayward Compass. The game gives you a fair amount of exploration leeway. There's no one correct way to go, and with experience, you'll feel less lost.||
Alright, thank you
Aand which way do I go to get there đ
Shouldn't this be spoilered?
It should
@brisk cave
sry
Np

Hint: ||Near Flukenest.||

Does anyone have tips for || the Trial of the Fool? It is goingâŚpoorlyâŚ. ||
please spoiler tag everything from the game in this channel.
You can edit your message and add spoiler tags with two lines on each side || like this ||
please read the pinned post https://discord.com/channels/283467363729408000/1090079233520451714
And make a post in #1057825333841240104 giving all of the necessary information
||Trial of the Fool is hard. I didn't complete it until I was almost fully levelled. If your main struggle point is the wall-only section, use spells as much as you can and prioritize dodging, because getting scrambled and falling into the spikes can cost you a lot of health.||
||does somebody have tips for rad watcher knights? they're so annoyinjg||
Practice
How many attempts do you have?
idk like 20 - 30 like they're so random i swear
and i ||miss spell d dark with fireball or whatever this is called||
||pogo them until you see that they are going to attack||
||d dark whenever they are super close to you because they almost always roll||
Almost
||Are u a nail or spell build||
||more nail with shaman stone||
||if u are doing more nail then go for an all nail||
@naive gyro nail
like || quick slash, mark of pride, unbreakable strengh and shaman stone||
||and only use d dark for dodging so u can save it for later attacks||
It has about 1/2 of a second charging time
Also u gotta have a good reaction time
I have 300ms reaction time but i still cant do it in time
||the iframes are goated tho||
strange
||Because i did beat watcher knights rad 1st try with slow reaction||
what can i say
Get gud
||qga?||
Spoilers
||queens gardens acid skip||
||queens gardens acid skip||
Oh
is there a way to make spoilers for one word alone?
Yes
I ||hate|| mayonaise
||skibidi||
wait like |huh|?
Yes
or /spoiler first
2 on both sides
I think I'm getting close to the end of the game, is there a point of no return? and if I finish can I continue playing on this save?
You can
is there ||multiple endings and if so can I get all of the endings on a single save file?||
Yes to both
GROOVY
that makes me feel so much better because ||I FINALLY killed all 3 dreamers, but I know for a fact I'm missing more bosses and don't wanna miss out on anything||
You're missing about 20
wait what
holy crap that's a lot
I'm working on ||Traitor lord and Hive Knight|| right now
both are giving me a rough time
okay
I've also discovered how BROKEN ||Fluke nest|| is
yeah kind of broken
|| its ridiculous broken||
||Literally was the only reason I killed the watcher knights, and I killed them fast too||
Just use ||longnail mark of pride strength quick slash and carefree melody||
How can I get himm
||break walls in deepnest :))||

||Do the fragile charms break in godhome||
||is flower quest routing easier with infected crossroads?||
No
Itâs pain
Cause if you donât clear enemies out they are everywhere
||How do I dodge slys attacks ||
||well im gonna do that method anyways since i suck at hk, i mean more like-||
||does infected have less room by room respawning enemies||
They have such a large hitbox
||shade soul maybe?||
||Thatâs the problem I have no soul in the start of the fight since h2 drains itâs all ||
||idk i prolly cant help with that i managed to die to acended moss charger||
And I canât get in to get ||soul||
||but yeh im uncertain and thus extremely hesitant to get wings||
||If I run the shade cloak attack charm I can chip him down over time so maybe||
||yeh||
||Why can I do Grimm hitless but get down to 1 hp against hive knight ||
Practice
||bro Im doing rad markoth rn and the best part of it is that, how satysfying dodges can be like between his shields or sum, so fun||
The thing is tho I havenât practiced ||Grimm||
||On my first save I did rad markoth 1st try but took 43 attempts of rad marmu||
||damn, but markoth is fun, so doesnt matter to me at all||
I am screwed
Guys what charms yall recommend while beating ||sentinel hornet||?
Ngl the one complaint I do have is walking to every single boss
Cant there be a bench near by
Why do I gotta do all the platforming like 70 times over to reach there
can someone help me i go stuck in one room and now i cant leve
You dont keep your soul thats all
ty
you arent supposed to get out yet
i dont even think i was suposs to be there
just explore the ||city of tears||, theres multiple exits that are pretty easy to find
also spoiler the image
i literally cant explore nd here cuz i cant use the elevator that have here
and im stuck in this room
even if i die i keep spwaning here
hit your nail up
on the up and down buttons
Which one?
||The god of wealth and power || ||SLY||
Easy
||dash away when he attacks||
Iâ||ve beaten him once in hog so I have a idea of how to fight him I need to dash when he goes in to attack and parry if possible ||
He's really easy
Ye once you get a idea of how to counter him heâs easy
Parry?
|| I'm stuck on Lurien where when I try to focus (to actually beat them) it does the normal healing animation where it goes then stops instead of going for a while and sucking his essence (sorry if I explained it poorly) why is this happening? ||
Idk why but
You should reload your game
so i noticed in ||godhome|| that there were variations of ||nosk|| and ||mantis lords|| where can i find them
||p5||
You canât find them in ||hallownest||
Yes
okay thanks
||Thus you canât find them in hallownest cause they can only be found in godhome||
Im playing the ||other mantis lords variation rn Lol||
Are those slightly weathered waxed cut copper stairs
That is part of ||hallonest||
isnt ||all three at a time||
Yes
yes
Fire
thought so
||im doing radiant attempts||
ye im doing ||normal radiant|| rn
also what is that ||fuzzy head looking boss on p2|| im tryna find it
ill send pic
Fuzzy head whats the hint to finding them
hol up
Yes when bosses have a pattern they are instantly easier
He also has a pattern

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

||How do i beat No Eyes in the P5. He's really annoying cause the projectiles keep moving in weird places||
U can just sit in one place and donât chase her
Thanks
How do i get over emotional trauma caused by ||Diligent overwhelimg passionate inteligent overwheling strong beautfiul Grey Prince Zote|| and ||Sentinel Hornet|| in ||P3||
frame it differently. you're playing a game for fun, and each defeat only means you get more knowledge on the|| bosses|| and playstyles.
Try not to rage after each defeat, it sounds ridiculous but you believe what you say. you act like you're mad and then you will be.
also practice in ||hall of gods||
i guess
No but the reason i die is because im Low
remember to use tags 
Hello neat 
oops
hi nonsenf 
Also no i do not rage on them they just cause emotional trauma that i will take out on my future wife and kids.
uh then replace rage with being dramatic and depressed

Okay, as an fyi for those playing on console or maybe its just a ps5 issue but regardless, the game runs slightly faster then on pc when it comes to enemy behaviour and thus certain bosses have their difficulty inflated.
||best examples of this are hornet 2 occasionally flooding her arena with like 6 of the spike balls in 30 seconds or grim moving at the same speed as nkg||
Imma be real its prolly a ps5 issue seeing as its running the ps4 version on stronger hardware and due to console jank it may be attempting to artificially inflate the fps of the game screwing with behaviour
Thats normal
||From what ive seen on pc grim is slower so idk||
Again, as i stated, its probably a ps5 issue or something as there is no dedicated ps5 port and idk how exactly the port backwards compat works so iy could be screwing with it in some way cause ive also seen a couple minor bugs such as an entire room being stuck in perpetual screen shake without any actual reason so like-
Idk it just feels off
Nah
It also happens to me ||the hornet 2 thing is just luck||
Cheese grater
Playing through 2 thirds of a game and it feeling like something is off isnt great.
Idk if it is speed or smth else but something feels wrong
The steam version has a lot more updates than consoles
Ah.
So im presuming it is a lit more fine tuned then console
A lot more bug fixes on steam
Ah
is the voidheart edition unupdated like that?, asking because im playing it on pc
Im pretty sure it's all consoles
im specifically playing that edition because i dont have the steam one
cy\
Untrue
Its a few above
Its basically the exact same thing
||any advice on the radiance?||
||patience. Donât be greedy with attacking her. Let her come to you.||
||can someone give me advice for beating pantheon of the sage||
||unbreakable strength,quick slash,and quick focus thatâs what helped me beat her||
whatever floats your zote
||How's this loadout for TMG?||
Good
Yay
||which boss?||
||god tamer||
||I go for the beast I either get steam rolled or have my skull spilt open by the tamer||
||dash away||
||I try but thatâs when the acidic spit gets me||
Reaction time
||wall jump to avoid it||
Ah
||use ddark||
||That still might take a while I struggled on hornets first fight||
22 hours?
What
FELLAS I FINALLY BEAT THE ||TRAITOR LORD||
Congrat
Bro kicked my ass for so long
Lol
He's easy when you know THE method
Yeah but was still hard
||shadow dash through all his attacks like a normal person with the occasional ddark?||
True
What the hell is ||ddark||

Where to get it
||cpE||
Wat
dw about it
||crystal peaks entrance||
Is it the ||pile-driver||
||its the dark part||
đ
It's a methodical fight, plenty of good methods
There can only be one best method
If somehow there was a way to prove it aside from consensus, I'd agree
Therefore we must duel
Who is the psycho path that invented || crystal mound||
Spoiler
||Guys, question, if I am on steel soul mode and I die on radiance, does it clear my save? Because I leave a shade, but it's in a dream? I know that in Failed Champion, Soul Tyrant, and other dream bosses I don't lose it, but do I lose it on radiance?||
Yes
Okay, I'm glad I didn't let myself die to our goddess
||any tips for pure vessel||
How
Hitbox jank
Frame perfect
Pixel perfect
yeah
Lmao
||PoP|| is abt to make me crash out
Itâs got the best theme in the game tho
Not after you've listened to it for 5 hours
Is there a way to remap buttons
Menu
Cause I want every direction to be down slash
Options
Disagree
Just turn off music/get good
Git gud 
What's the best way to dodge ||Pure Vessel's triple slash attack? I've been doing pogo jumps, but my success rate is only around 30%, and that's with Mark of Pride.||
Hold on let me write an paragraph
In 90% situations u can || shade cloack through his tripple slash ||
The only time it isn't possible if || pure vessel does daggers and then tripple slash
In that case what I like to do immediately get away from pure vessel after shade dashing I don't even try to hhit him and when does his tripple slash I jump and tgen wings over him||
However sometimes I wana play offensively so after || pure vessel does daggers I shade dash then hit pure vessel then prepare to jump if I see tripple slash comming I parry his slash with my pogo ||
Hope this helps
Also sorry for spelling errors : (
How do I go to the right side of ||hollowness crown||
U got the || pale ore || in there?
Yea
I've found that ||shade cloak|| also fails if ||pure vessel starts his triple attack while he's not right next to me||, which is frustratingly often, because he moves around a lot. I'll try getting into the habit of doing it when he's closer though.
There's no way that's all there is to this awesome area
If he's far away from you then u can just jump away from him it works just fine
U can || dream nail the statue which had pale ore I guess thats the only other things there ||
I did
That's a good point. I might be being a bit too aggressive, and so I've been favoring dodging patterns that land hits. Habits from ||The Hollow Knight|| I guess.
Sadge man
That's all to that place :
Alright good luck 
For the crown?
That|| statue dream dialogue also u can't read tablets because they were created|| oh nvm too much spoilers
My bad
Wat
It will all make sense in end game 
||The key itself is a hint. Does it remind you of something?||
|| city ||
Hmmm
Oooooh ||soul sanctum||
Oooooh
||I got black projectile||
Yay
I have no idea how to approach || rad obblobles || đ
How do people even beat it?
Currently stuck at ||pleasure house on the way to the top of it, those damn, fat balls are kicking my ass||
But there's no enemy in || pleasure house || 
I think u mean || watched knights || in the || watch tower ||
yrue
||There are many approaches you can take, really, I suppose for a first time it's nice to play safer.||
||Wait for their turn and counter attack once or twice then dash away close to some wall.. Gather soul and punish the boss with spells like (Shade Soul / Shriek)||
||If it's really hard to hit them, you could try to equip Mark of Pride.||
||Their attack pattern is somewhat similar to the Radiance Star Beams where you can dodge by movin to the side and returning back to where you were.||
Well, I will return to editin vids hah | see you all
mang
Wait why didn't think of the || radaince tip || lmao that's genius
mnago

major spoiler maybe|| i heard viod heart makes you locked away from other endings is that true||
yea
dont worry u have to do multiple saves anyways to get all achievements
true
||ok i just beat nightmare king grimm and i really loved this fight, but i had such a problem with that attack when he shoots 5 fire balls at you from the air||
||was +2 nail upgrade too much btw for his fight?||
hi there, I see you're new. This channel requires u to tag all in-game content as per the pins
?tag spoilers
đš Ensure Discordâs spoiler tagging is used around spoilers (People, Places, and Things should be spoiler tagged!! if you are confused, please see the pins for what is allowed ).
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.

nah thats ok, ||nkg is one of the tougher bosses||
||yeah he was really tough||
that one try not to move sideways too much
in game content so true (yea tagging everything is very safe)
||yeah i tried to stand still, but sometimes he hit me||
try walking, u'll be able to react quick enough with just walking
||also, would u consider +2 nail upgrade too much or too little or just enough for him? i am scared i was overleveled||
cuz it u move really fast ur gonna get hit and if u dont move u are praying to rngesus
why are u scared of being overlevelled
||i tried that and i just couldnt see where the fire would go, it drove me crazy||
worst case u can use up ||soul in the form of dive||
||i just wanna fight all bosses at a approppiate level||
true
there really is no appropriate level for metroidvanias
||i guess||
u can fight bosses with minimal loadout or the max loadout
yeah true
back to this, it's probably on the ||lower side of levels for most players but it's definitly enough to beat him cuz u can just cover up that missing level with practice||
||oh ok, thank u for ur answer||
np
don't be too cautious on the spoilers, we're chill here and won't ban you if u missed a spoiler accidentally
||its so weird tho cuz when i watch videos on yourube it loos like the fire has such a clear tell on where itâs gonna land, but when im playing i just cant fucking see where it is gonna land||
yea happens
oh ok hah
cuz ur mind is being used for some controlling when ur playing so sometimes the other parts of it which are on during watching could be turned off or tuned down
yeah true true
Can I still get the ||delicate flower ending after beating P5 if I finished the delicate flower quest already? Iâm not sure how to grab another flower with the Grey Mourner gone||
yea
go to the ||grave to pick flowers once you're done with the quest||
ohhh that makes sense thanks

i'm deleting your msg if...
no use
Ok silver
We have mod abuse
Reporting kark
Getting him sunshine and rainbows'd
No??
||NKG|| is awful with an underlevelled ||nail||
Dosent his health increase with || nail upgrades|| ? 
Okay nvm. Only || grim's hp || increase or maybe I got fooled by || winderte || 

I really need to check wiki now
Okay finally checked the wiki
Accutally he does it goes from || 800 old nail to 1000 pure nail ||
So i thought same thing applied to || nkg || too
I thought the difference was big as || dream wariors ||
Accutally it's too less for him || nkg is the final boss of the grim troupe dlc
And it's hardest boss out side of God master dlc it's even harder than base game final boss ||
And beating him that underleveled is very impressive
Does anyone have tips for ||p5 ab collector? My cyclone slash ni longer one shots the aspids,baldurs and squits||
Oh man that sounds like hell
I think it's better to watch YouTube videos at this point then asking here for help 
Like that is really high level of hollow knight
Probably not that hard but still pretty difficult ye
Really? :0
I thought higher levels is like ||p5 hitless||
Honestly thought ||p5 ab|| is like mediocre at best :P
Bruh
You may be able to find some people whoâve done ||p5ab in hkdisc, but only from time to time ||
I did get ||p4 ab recently||, working my way up now
||collector's difficulty increase exponentiall
Markoth ab is not that bad compare to rad Markoth
The More hits it takes to kill enemies more he gets exponentially harder ||
Ahh i see
Tbh I would say anything above || r3 and p4ab is very high level of hollow knight ||
I guess ill go watch a video or something 
Good luck
Whats ||r3|| again?

|| hitless ( r = radaint) pantheon 3 ||
Oh bruh
||i could never do any of the pantheons hitless for that matter||


They don't look that bad to me tbh cuz u can || overcharm ||
I think u can easily do || r1
r4 and r2 are more difficult but possible for you
r3 is definitely the hardest out of all first four pantheons ||
||zote||

i have 2 questions how any ||mask shards|| do i need to max my hp and also what do i do at ||soul city|| is there any boss
also any tip for ||soul twisters||
||like this|| but u don't need spoiler for 'There are 16 in the game'
oh okay thanks
the max is || 9 full masks in total||
in ||soulsanctum|| is ||one boss and he will give you dive||
||There is a boss and the best charm in the game ||
which one
|| spell twister||

rn im rocking ||shaman the compass and the one for more soul||
thats also good
try not spoiling ppl on things they don't directly ask for pretty pls, M k had a better info, altho he coulda just given the sub-area without the reward
I mean I said || charm || and then he asked which one
Well
||Right before boss fight||
yea that works
i think im too picky cuz u guys didnt tell him only subarea first
u guys are fine
@brisk cave
yes?
wanna vc i fixed my mic
okay
||Also have you gotten an upgrade for something in city of tears yet ||
for the nail?
What build do i use ||for the sun to defeat it quick cuz i barely get chance to atk her during the fight||
||the rad abt not abs rad||
The || sun?||
||Radiance||
Oh
Are u speedruning or smth
Lmao
Cuz if u aren't better play safe
the build I use is ||quick slash, steady body, unbreakable strength, unbreakable heart, and longnail, it's quite a nail heavy fight but you can use your spells to deal some damage when there's downtime, for example after her Nail spiral/laser beam attacks, and remember to DDark if you can't shade dash through an attack, if you DDark into the spikes that come up from the floor they'll disappear||
Some of that advice may be exclusive to ||absrad|| I have no idea
Send charms
||longnail and heart are garbage for this||
No it's my first play through and am done with ||the first 2 endings now doing the true ending where am getting killed by radiance over and over ,the current build am using is shaman stone,spelltwister,grubsong, longnail and strength. I have all the charms unlocked except grubberfly and lifeblood core||
||sbody|| is fine, but still not good
Swap ||gsong and longnail for qslash||
I can agree on ||longnail, but why heart?||
Alr ima give it a try
||Health charms are for learning attacks||
Not for actually beating bosses
helth lol
I can grasp that conceptually
||that's what I run everytime I do P5 and it works like a Charmâ˘||
Pun intended?
Since you get way more soul
Why do you think the tm is there silly
I may be a comedic genius how did you know

This build is good but am still kinda struggling with offense and defense at the same time đ gotta defend myself and also hit the enemy at the same time
||how do i do great slash||
Keep practicing
Could you please spoiler tag your message
how \

is that a spoiler
yea
anyway how do i do it
never even touched that thing'
thats just a better ||spell|| button
ic
instead of ||spell activating on release of button, it activates on tap||
||i have dash slash but no great slash||
i'm feeling a little lost in the game, is there anybody that could help me? :'))
Uh sure
thanks! i sent a dm :D
You could've just asked here?
i just have a lot of questions
is it good to put ||long nail|| and ||mark of pride|| together?
Won't hurt, but do consider if any of those notches could be spent on a different benefit!
can u help me what to put for 2 notches left
is this any good? ||for radiance||
What's this for
swap ||ss for twister||
uhh for general like any boss (im still new dont know what im doing XD)
||ss|| is near useless
Use ||gsong, mop, and catcher||
for bosses
Can't believe you'd insult ||Shaman Stone||
no, I meant ||snail shaman||
With what you have, seems fine to me - at most maybe you could swap ||Longnail for Catcher...?||
And ||stags||
got it got it tysmmm
tyyyy 
mmm not sure
||what about the horizontal spikes, you get damage and dodge||
||and its useful for the hollow knight||
.
That's not the hard part lmfao
You can facetank there and get a heal
at the end
Just ||shriek||
Or ||dash|| normally
Use || spell twister instead of shadow ||
||you rarely hit radiance with it. And if you do it's almost no damage and not worth the cost. You'd get a lot more damage with something like twister||
aight
Also pro tip || fill up your soul before the radiance fight
And spam three shrieks in the start
And ussing d dark on spikes will make them disappear||
Good luck 
@unkempt summit Also when ||radiance starts spamming swords from above usse nail only to damage her so h can heal from the soul u got || 
||descending dark ||probably isn't efective on them
like the boss itself
for damage
U do damage with || shriek ||
And dodge with || d dark ||
should i use ||quickfocus?|| i'd have to sacrifice other good charms tho
NOOO
U have the best build in the game for her
Replacing any charm is not a good idea
Still no drip?
If u want to ||heal then wait till she starts to enter the phase where she sp wns swords from above and get soul in that phase and them heal ||
Still no || p3 || ? :megamind:
đĽ
hey is the ||shriek hitbox tall enough to hit radiance ||without jumping?
Yes
so i don't need to ||jump-shriek ?||
|| can i beat the hollow knight as much as i want in the same world ||
You can move away to miss the 4th ||Abyss Shriek's damage|| tick to dodge attacks.
And yes you don't need to ||jump-shriek||
|| how much does the 2 pale ore nail upgrade cost in geo? ||
||2000 geo||
yes
gg
I finished ||crystal peaks||, where should I go from there?
please spoiler tag your message
^^
anywhere you haven't already gone
That's for you to choose
where have you already been?
|| crystal peaks, city of tears, forgotten crossroads, greenpath, the mushroom place (donât remember the name) ||
The ||fungal wastes|| is probably what you are referring to in the end
Yup that was it
anyways, have you seen a gutter at the bottom of the ||city||?
it requires a ||simple key||, do you have one
?
if you do, you can open it
you could alternatively go back to the ||mantis village||, there is something for you there
it will also lead you to a new area
You can probably also just ||sell your relics,|| those give a ton of geo
Yeah
where tf is the|| deepnest dreamer||
Send map
i cant find them
take a rest
ive already been there
oh then just go back in there and go as far up as you can
takes a minute, it's very maze-like
congrats
You are very tired iirc
From doing too much thinking in lore
sit and rest
||DID THE HOLLOW KNIGHT JUST FUCKING PARRY ME||
Did u beat || holllow knight || ?
no im on my first playthrough
No I meant did u beat the boss ?
not yet
should i restart, i havent played hollow knight for a year and i just came back, ive already beat|| hornet in greenpath||
Yeah sure 
its not that much progress?
Yeah || hornet || is like the first Real boss
||how many of these am i missing that arent pantheon-only? so i can go pick them up||
||the two after paintmaster sheo and the very bottom right one are pantheon only. Everything else isnât.||
||Wait nvm only the one after Grimm isnât pantheon only||
oh okay i see yup im still yet to do that đ
||why did THK stab himself and get a third phase||
Unimportant rn, just keep playing
no i died instantly
There isn't anything you can do to prevent it, so you just have to deal with it
That being said, you should know that the ||damage you deal while they stab themselves is lessened
So take that time to heal or gather soul||
how do i dodge him when he ||bounces around||
Usually ||dashing back and forth on the ground works well||
Time your ||dash|| each time they are close to hitting the ground
(Im pretty sure walking back and forth is possible too
)
There's an boss similar to || grim || the rest are ||pantheon exclusive ||
i think im kinda undergeared
Why?
Show your || inventory and tell how much health u have ||
this is what i have
Maybe but itâs fine
You can still play after you beatâem (and you really should)
So just think of this as a challenge
Accutally if ur struggling this gear u could say u are under geared
But u should try || d dark and shaman + quick slash ||
It might work
when in doubt spam ||d dark||
Yeah you are undergearded but not a ton, ||descending dark is clearly your best option here, I would recommend fitting shaman stone somewhere in your build and using it
The spell does 88 damage if everything hits, a basic attack does 11
So Iâll let you do the math but itâs pretty free real estate ||

did not know it did that much damage
If u do it right above him yeah it does || 88 damage||
That being said you do have likeâŚ
||5.1k geo in your inventory, waiting to be spent on masks from sly, keys and such
So if you really want to leave them for later, you can start by doing a shop revisit||
But I think if you stick to the fight just a bit longer you will get through
i bought out ||sly's ||entire shop
Wait Something aint right
||wth i got hit by the screams stun||
Also also
If you want a ||7th mask||, there are ||3 shards in crossroad, a lot at sly, 1 in greenpath under the lower bench, two in fungal
So just with early areas you can get a free mask||
(If you wanna find stuff by yourself donât open those spoilers)
I am pretty sure he doesn't have || shop keeper key ||
Yup, they missed it

SoâŚ
Just sayingâŚ
Maybe⌠go back to the room left of the bench in ||crystal peak ||
Just in case you missed something in there
||can i remove void heart corruption through debug mods||
Wdym ||void heart corruption|| ?
You want to have ||Kingsoul instead of Voidheart ?
You can do that with debug||
k thanks
||does it let me do the other ending after i do that||
would be wasting alot of time if no
What do you mean exactly?
I need to ask, how do you spoiler multiple lines at once
||he wants the non void heart ending for THK||
Okay yeah I think u can do that as long as you are not equipping || void heart ||
bet
i cant find it
which bench though
Yeah correct, but it shouldnât matter cuz a lot of other ||achievs require you to do multiple endings
Anyway the answer is yes, there is an option in the charms menu of debug in which you can set the Kingsoul value to be between 0 and 3, 3 being voidheart||
? You can copy the text of my message to see exactly what I wrote
and the others are ||the broken states,|| right?
Itâs not any hard
I'm stupid sorry
Yeah, ||right half only, left half only, full and vh ||
got the ||key||

Which one?
im poor

the one for the ||other part of sly's shop||
You have ||5.1 k in relics
You know what relics|| are and what to do with them right
âŚ
Right ?
Sell || relics || 
yeah i got another ||kings idol on the way||
yea
Gl
Actually smart money management ? Incredible
||Relics are a placement even safer than the bank||
||just put 4450 into the bank||
Me when no || simple key || :
HE RAN OUT OF DIALOGUE FOR WHEN I GIVE HIM ||HALLOWNEST SEALS||
im planning on 112%ing the game
(||Seals|| donât give %)
You planning on all achievements?
No
MY INTERNET IS SO BAD!!!!
im not doing 100% on|| steel soul||
Understandable
Why not
I am
ive died like 150 times this playthrough
I've died closer to 500 times
If u get || 112% on one save then 100% on another save ||becomes ridiculous easy to di
why am i doing worse
But my skill has heavily increased since i started this savefile
i need more geo for a charm notch so i can put||grubsong|| on this
Not easy but way easier than on your first playthrough
||100% steel soul is easier than beating p5|| 
Itâs really not as bad as it seems
achievements are a pain its like i am a completionist but not at the same time
I personally find hkâs achievement to be peak
But I am in the hollow knight discord server so
I may, may, be biased
Hey so I am new to this server, and I needed some help. I am trying to unlock ||Awoken Dream Nail|| and I'm trying to fight ||Galien in Deepnest||
But he isn't spawning
Reload your game
Do you use pc or console
Console (switch)
||Are you sure you havent beated them yet? Also reload the room if you have just dgated straight there so far||
Usually when people ask sucks questions theyâve already beaten them but forgotten yeah
no i havent fought him yet
Are you sure that no one took the switch behind your back and played hk ?
Also are you sure you are in the right room 
yes the one with ||All the mushrooms and a lifeblood core or whatever its called right above the arena||
I'm the only one in my apartment
True
yeah i see the ||corpse|| but the ||warrior spirit|| just isn't showing up
maybe someone broke in and wanted to play the game
plus I'm exploring ||the Hive|| last I checked
Look on map
i dont have it on me
Spoilers
oops
And this one
||Buy it||
||that happened to me i think i got shape of unn before ever seeing or even knowing about unn||
For ||Pure Vessel's focus attack, does anyone know how long the light circles do damage for/when they're safe to touch?||
No
guys || I have left rad abs to do, any tips?||
They go away about a second before his next attack
I did ||markoth|| yay
Any tips for || p3 ab? ||
Which ||bosses?||
||p3 is easy, but def harder then p1 and p2, just practise||
Iâm specifically stuck on || grey prince zote. ||
Nah, ||P3|| ain't easy.
||he's most random and least consistent boss imo just d dark when you must||
Yeah, the harder ones are harder, but that's where it really requires some work.
||practice and ddark whenever you can||
Kay, thanks!
I was stuck on him just a few days ago! Here's what I learned: ||He's most susceptible to attacks when he's spitting out zotelings and when he summons his exploding floaty jerks. You can really wail on him then. The hardest attack of his for me was his jousting flail attack. You need to get above him and pogo. When he flops over, dash to the side instead of getting another pogo in on him, because the timing will be different and you may just land in his hitbox. You can also DDark if you want. Most of his jumps send ripples that you can jump over; you'll need to learn how to time them. Practice in the Hall of Gods until you can beat him five times in a row.||
||no when he does the zoteling attacks you always need to ddark it kills the zotelings and does a lot of damage to grey prince zote||
||after you pogo him when he's flailing you need to ddark not dash away||
||Killing Zotelings is pretty advantageous. I agree that that would also be effective.||
Thanks!
||Also instead of ddarking when he spawns the zotelings you can also use abyss shriek||
I've always had a bit of a love/hate relationship with ||ddark, because I've never been able to rely on it. I often will get hit before the iframes kick in, and that cancels the attack. But when it hits, I always feel all warm and fuzzy.||
||also i highly recommend using dream wielder because then when you stagger him you can dreamnail him twice and earn 4 spells of soul ||
That also happens to me but that's just because im not a ||spell || user
||which is why i use shade soul for most bosses because it's just easy free damage||
bruh I made || abs hitless on ascended||
The pain
Do it again I wasn't looking.
||why does grimm scream at me when i attack him at the start of the fight?||
Dont disrespect him
does he get stronger if i do that?
Maybe
Bow back to him for his respect
oh he instantly does the attack he usually does on other phases
i keep dying on that specific attack
So just bow to him and be respectful
didnt know i could do that
Respect your elders
he does infact get stronger if i do that
okay im just gonna beat the game before i do this
please no || grimm is in lore bad one :<||
yeah but if you disrespect him he gets stronger soo
you can just stand
He still deserves respect
yeah idk how to bow so i did that
He isnt too bad
i only bow to || oro & mato + sheo + sly
||
Look down
oh i did that
hes cool boss tho
also why are my ||crossroads orange flavored||
||infected||
||its lore, it happens when u defeat broken vessel or unleash one of dreamers||
thought they just wanted to try the orange flavor
time to fight ||THK|| for the 500th time
||who's THK?||
unironically ||mantis lords ||were harder so far
||the hollow knight||
Not even close
||i dont even have p5 yet||
really?
|| its quite easy who do you struggle with?||
Yes ||i've practiced absrad for over 10 hours and i haven't even beat her once||
|| so you struggle with abs?||
Everything else is really easy
Yes
||i've got to the last phase twice||
|| i highly recomend build quick focus, deep focus, grubsong, shaman stone/ unbreakable strengh||
||so you can heal 2 mask of 1 healing ||
I cannot do that
||if u pogo on radiance then they're electric shots or so are off screen, they dissapear||
|| so u can pogo, double jump and go where abs tp||
||on second phase u chill until abs come to you||
||both times i got to that phase i died of fall damage i just need to get to that phase more||
damn, pratise, you can also watch some yt tutorials
But then i'll get too good
||i am stuck at crystal peak right after the boss in the bench (forgor his name)||
wdym
stuck
just dont know where to go
got a map?
||there is that part with the crushing things||
ye
my tip is to always go up

remember eveything is a spoiler
below || waterways royale|| btw
||is that close to greenpath||
dw about ||"getting" a specific upgrade, just explore parts of your map that you haven't checked yet and you will find stuff||
you know the ||manhole in city of tears|| that requires a key, down down there
is it the ||simple key|| that i need
ye
||its 950 geo right?||
at ||sly|| right?
yeah
aight ill get it next time ill play
but try also doing stuff for yourself later kay? cuz doublr jump isnt your main goal rn trust me
theres other stuff before
||nah im in crystal peak trying to get super dash and dream nail (im not even sure its there)||
im gonna develop hollow knight syndrome by making every dash key in every game E
i see youve watched lots of spoilers, whatever finish ||!crystal peak and go to city o tears||, thats the main exploration point for your game progress
alreay was at ||city of tears and soul sanctum||
||dream nail can be gotten from crystal peaks to another place||
theres still more trust me
ok
||the other place is accessible from crystal peaks, is what i mean||
or just go wherever you want to go, there is no set path (at least no single possible path) and so if you just play the game, you will eventually find stuff, and it will be much more fun than following instructions imo
by the way my controls are weirder than yours
oki
if not then youve missed basically half the game because you wouldve already found ||dream nail||
what are they
n other stuff ofc
wasd, left click to jump, right to attack, ||mouse button 1 dash||, mouse button 2 focus
and more
PFF-
WE HAVE ALMOST THE SAME THINGS
spoiler because an important boss is in the background
Spoilers for items
the ||thk||?
do you have mouse buttons?
idk why you felt the need to clarify something like that in the help channel but ok.
yeah the mouse buttons are on attack, ||super dash and dream nail||
noooo like mouse buttons on the side of the mouse
They work?
for hollow knight??
ye
holy shit my up is on button5
i have a razer deathadder and it works
What in the star wars name was that
idk
my mouse's model is the Razer Deathadder v2
its razer
they have crazy ahh names
Yes, it just sounds goofy
why is ||THK|| actually so fun to fight
maybe discuss this more freely in #hk-discussion ? Rather than flooding the help channel with irrelevant topics
i haven't got to him yet but i can say ||mantis lords|| have a fire track and both phases are fun af
no one needs help rn
yeah right
Not really needing help but a question
