idk how far into the game u r, but there are a few spots that are quite good for geo grinding, im not entirely sure which one is the best tho: ||first way is to repeatedly beat colo 2, it gives a ton of geo every time u beat it. second way is to bench at kings station and kill everything in the big room to the left of kings station, circling back to kings station bench to reset the enemies and repeat. third method is to go to the bottom of kingdoms edge and kill the small hoppers. iirc those small hoppers even respawn upon re-entering the screen so u dont have to bench to reset them.|| there are definitely more ways to grind geo but the methods i listed above are quite effective in grinding geo
Ok thank you!!
||also if u havent already, u should sell ur relics at lemm to reduce the time u need to grind geo||
That's called || overcharming
Its when you equip more charms then you can
This will cause you to take double damage ||
worth it tho?
Depends but if its your first time playing absolutely no
Its generally worth it in two cases
Speedruning Or some hitless stuff
Fuck
activate windows
guys i’ve seen that you either save ||zote|| or leave him to die but i’ve already finished the game and i haven’t gotten either achievement. is there anything i need to do to trigger it?
do yall recommend ||doing canyon or doing the limits first||
u have to go where ||zote was after saving / killing him||
yo guys W?
||canyon as in fog canyon? limits as in kingdoms edge? please use the actual area name as given in the game so that we can help u||
idk the names
what does the|| full soul|| thing does, the photo one
and yeah
||it is a soul vessel, it allows u to hold more soul||
u can check
ohh ok
bro i use steam
i gotta tab out the game
to use dc
Dont expect us to not be equally lazy then

||yes, fog canyon is the only area with canyon in its name. i was just asking to make sure that u were talking about that||
tbh whit the limits thing i didnt specify enough
aight
so where should i go first, cuz idk
||i still have no idea what u mean by limits||
||kingdom edge||
It depends on what else do you have but both are fine
Spoiler tag
-# 

||kingdoms edge is the bigger area and has more stuff to explore, but fog canyon has some good stuff too. ultimately its up to u||
ik, ||canyon have a spell and a notch i think||
yep correct
||do u have an item called isma's tear by chance? im not entirely sure if u can get to this charm notch without this item.||
||(theres acid skip ofc but casually i dont think theres a way)||
right now he’s just in a cage in the ||battling grounds|| 😭 what do i do with that?
||have u done colo 1 yet?||
achow
im stuck ngl
like i cant advance to a new place
i always get to ||queens garden||
||u got the spell in fog canyon already? and what about kingdoms edge?||
uh
well
i cant get the ||spell||
why not?
because
im lost asf
im at ||canyon||
where u get before|| queens station||
down|| green path||
||try exploring more to the left in fog canyon, the spell is on the left side of fog canyon||
i cant find anything new ngl
||I've always gone into Queen Station from Fungal||
||ive gone from canyon to queen station, now im coming back||
wait
||canyon|| isnt there right?
The other way is better for first time
Since the map is much closer + easier to get
...
||canyon isnt where? be more specific||
im stupid bruh
dw
i realized its|| between fungal wastes and green path, not between queen station and greenpath||
i feel so dumb fr
||but u can literally enter into fog canyon from queens station, im not understanding what u are saying||
nuh
i mean
all from that ||canyon bring u to queen garden||, not usefull at all
but theres another
||im not entirely sure im following what u are saying, theres another path above the path to queens gardens that connects to more of fog canyon||
...but ||fog canyon is between queen's station and greenpath - it's just that queen's station is in fungal (on the edge)||
oh, that path was just bringing ||me to queen garden zone...|| that was the thing i was talking abt
||did u try going above that entrance to queens gardens? theres another path that leads to more of fog canyon||
above?
lemme see
||yes, in that vertical room in fog canyon. just go above the opening to queens gardens and there should be another path||
(worth noting, there are ||two vertical rooms right in that area, you should be in the top one that connects directly to greenpath||)
TYSMMMMMM
||(im leading him to that room rn)||

yeah but whitout ||map||
more specifically, you can't do ||right fog canyon now||
and cant go trough
||try looking more towards the left in fog canyon||
oh
@stoic cedar isnt this ||queens garden?||
||it is near queens garden but technically still part of fog canyon. keep looking||
ok
...
bro
finally
light work fr
good job
i dont think u can keep going further left from where u are
||im not sure what abilities u have rn, but u mentioned kingdoms edge earlier, the area is pretty big and has quite a few things to explore there so u can try going there||
well
ive got everything except|| monarch wings and abyss things||
What have you done in ||waterways|| ?
So you have ||access to that one shaft that goes up to city|| and down ?
yes? why
Did you explore where it leads downwards ?
u should go there
Then I guess you can just uninstall the game
Cuz y’a kinda need to go down there…
Well to be honest there is a lot of other places you can explore to get items and such
yeah
i wanna leave it for last
Like ||deepnest|| does have a handful of important items
for when i cant keep advancing
yeah ||ancient basin|| usefull but i gotta prepare more
You can start to go for ||those big masks on your map, not all of them are gonna|| be reachable but that’s fine
the ||mask frags??||
Hmm maybe I’m doing uncspoilers
hmmmm
Did you go up that same ||shaft ? It leads to another part of city,|| did you explore that ?
wonder how much of this could be skipped by asking for ||map screenshots||
which part
ohh yeah
-# sshhh
gottem
I hate asking for screenshots, it leads to unspoilered messages and stuff
fair enough ig
hmm... depending on your inventory you could poke around a little bit more in ||crystal peak||
why
||Or king station
Or basin
Or fungal
Or lower part of greenpath/fog canion||
depending on what i mean
You basically need to explore everything in this game
So many many places have important things
||but why crystal peak, i got the heart alr and didnt get the wings||
since ||map pins|| reveal you have ||sly||, have you bought ||lantern|| from them?
You are still missing transitions in that area
A single transition may lead to very important things
all left from him i think its a ||elegant key|| and smth else but yeah
You can also take on that ||boss in basin again||
Bosses are usually locking away important stuff
yeah so uh, what ||boss||?
||the broken vessel?||
(that is correct)
i might be cooked
aight... ill try
just cuz i got map
you did unlock the shortcut to get back to it, right?
what? u went all the way to it but didnt fight it? and u didnt open the shortcut?
bro it was my first time seeing that zone
:-:
didnt explore much
||gorb|| has ascended
nice
more accurately: you ||ascended with gorb
(Ascend! Ascend! Ascend ascend ascend with Gorb!)||
True dat
ok imma explore it after school
hey can anyone help me ||w/ hornet 2?||
||Did you ascend with Gorb||
What’s your charm setup?
Also, spoiler your message so that that boss isn’t spoiled for other players
There you go
||Quick slash, quick focus, and an open two charm notches||
btw rq
spoiler ur charm build as well
(Better put spoilers on the charm names too)
For one, you should probably fill the empty 2 notches. It’s not required or anything but almost every charm is at least a bit helpful
u need ||dream nail for ancient basin?||
Ive been trying out a few different charms but none seem to work
which part of ||ancient basin||? technically there are some things in it that require ||dream nail||
||There’s some stuff you can do with dreamnail but you don’t need it, iirc||
||no, but some extras there will||
which ones
besides ||white palace||
||there is a dream boss in ancient basin||
ohh ok
well imma go to school cya
||Focusing your charms on one aspect usually works fairly well, you just need to be sure to use that thing when you have the opportunity as opposed to other moves||
Should I do Nail or soul?
||How much are you Focusing?||

I don’t think that required spoilers, it’s not really spoiling anything
Better safe than sorry though, I suppose
||i guess the spoilery part of that is the mention of spell but yea idk||
yeah
Not a lot but that is usually bcz I use my soul on|| Veng, wraith, and DDark||
||i would suggest more of a spell build for hornet 2 simply cuz of her quick movement and spike attack, it allows for spells to be a really effective option||
ok. I have ||8 charm noches||
u could do smth like ||quick slash, shamans, spell twister||
k
||A spell build would be more appropriate, then. Any of the Snail Shaman-related charms do wonders. Quick Focus is always good but you might want to drop it for something spell-related if you’re not focusing much and are good at seeing the windows, and Quick Slash is always fine but don’t be afraid to drop it if you want||
No prob, Bob
any good suggestions for a nail build?
u could do like ||mark of pride, quick slash, and any two notch charm thats decent (maybe even keep spell twister, its not bad even in non-spell build)||
So I'm going to try ||Mark of pride, Quick slash, Steady body, and Nailmaster's Glory|| is that good
||im not sure how effective nail arts will be against hornet 2 but steady body is definitely a great option||
Suprisingly ||Defenders crest|| got me the furthest into the fight
||crest is pretty much useless against hornet 2, u may have gotten further just cuz u were playing better, not cuz of crest||
probably so
I'm wondering if I should get the ||Soul spell upgrades|| but then I remember that the one I want is locked behind her
Ok just need tips on the acctual boss.
what exactly r u struggling with on the boss? or u just want general tips??
I need help with the ||air lunge||
||u generally want to be less aggressive against hornet 2. wait for her to attack first, then when her attack ends and shes vulnerable, u can go in for a couple hits and a spell or two before backing off and waiting for her next attack. if u do this, all u need to do is to react to what attack shes doing and then dodge it accordingly||
ok thx
||for the aerial lunge specifically, u just need to wait until shes locked into the attack and already lunging, then its easy to just dodge out of the way and start attacking her the instant her lunge is done||
That helps a lot
a lot more when im terrible at PvP or PvE of any kind.
You know where to get an easy-ish charm notch?
||its hard to suggest which charm notches to get since idk which charm notches u have already collected||
||u might be able to get a notch at salubra if u havent been there in a while||
How many notches do you start with?
3
||theres one that is easy to get in fungal wastes, its below the vertical room near the entrance to fungal wastes through crossroads||
The|| leg eater||? around there?
yes, ||in that big vertical room near leg eater, go to the bottom of the room and take the left transition||
||did u go to the left?||
yes
||do u see the big mushroom enemies there?||
yes
yea ||just beat them both||
there is only one
||that means u already got the notch that was there||
||u mustve misremembered which notches uve gotten||
ok then I must have not got|| all of salubra's notches||
||the notches in salubras shop have charm count requirements so u may not have had enough charms to get some of the notches there||
I have the ||needed 25|| but I dont have enough geo
||sell a relic or two at lemm||
ok
why does he sound like he is saying "Sell me items" in a deep scratchy voice?
Ok bought it and made my way back to the bench. Im going to resume tomorow
I am wondering tho how do you get the ||Neglect|| achievement?
||if u have saved zote on ur current save file, u will need to get that achievement on a separate file. as the achievement description suggests, ull need to leave zote to die, so the first time u encounter zote in greenpath, ull need to leave him to die to the vengefly king||
ok
Basically something to do on a second playthrough
A few other achievs work like that
ok cool I'll do it in ||Steel soul mode||
But can you also do it in ||deepnest||? like when he is ||tangled in all the webs||?
Nope
oh darn
im trying to start the ||grimm troupe dlc|| but the ||bug corpse|| isnt here, does anyone know why?
Did you ever go to ||resting grounds ?||
yep
How strange
Are you playing on a pirated version or a down patch?
The room just wouldn’t exist if they were
I think they’ve already done it and forgot somehow
no im playing on steam
i really havent done it yet or else the area would be red
I DID IT
Are you sure you didn’t already ||summon the troupe ? Go back to dirthmouth…||
i went to the room to check on my own save file and ||the corpse should be there even if the grimm troupe quest is already activated, ive completed the whole grimm troupe content and the bug corpse is still there||
Maybe if you ||banish then the corpse disappear ?||
I remember there was a ||state in which the corpse could go||
But like… you can’t lock yourself out so
We are missing something but there isn’t an issue somewhere
||they said they are trying to start the grimm troupe quest, surely they wouldnt be saying that if they have already banished||
Idk
people are crazy sometimes
We have had multiple occasions of people defeating bosses and forgetting they did
The game (while really glitchy in some aspects) doesn’t really have glitches like this happening on a whim
Something else they could maybe have done is downpatching/modding the game
But again, we are just missing on info
You haven’t already ||beaten the quest right|| ? Like there is nothing in your before last charm slot ?
Right ? 
i havent done the quest yet, i cant even get to the bug to begin the ||grimm quest||
- have you changed game patches at any point
- have you modded the game at any point
- send a screenshot of your charms
(Btw the game hasn’t been updated in like 3 years, so unless you did something it wasn’t updated)
no and no
hmmm looks normal
is there any download or anything i can do to get the dlc to begin? because the ||bug|| just wont appear
||dreamshield is dlc exclusive isnt it||
i have no clue, there could be smth u could do with save editing but yea i really have no clue on this one
Yeah this screenshot says it all
Last thing may be that they just didn’t go far enough into the room
So true
wdym?
That’d be hilarious
||the screenshot matches with where the bug corpse should be||
Like there are a bunch of breakable walls and stuff, maybe they didn’t go to the right place
Hidden path
I thought it does but I’m not so sure
i did break the wall all the way to the right
i went to the room in-game, it matches up
Did you go further
i even followed like a walk through guide to get to the area because i didnt see the bug
yes its the right spot
even if he did it already, ||the bug corpse should still be there||
i dont think theres any solution i think im just gonna start a new save file T_T
Oh man
The thing is that I know you had to have done something wrong
dont jump to hasty actions here, maybe someone else could figure it out here
Like a glitch like that is unheard off
I mean you do have a dlc exclusive item
Could you send your save file over ?
To be pedantic
yea i would be interested to see the save file as well
I wanna start by throwing it into the save file analyser
I mean you can also do that yourself but spoilers and stuff
for future refernce how do i send a save file? but erm..i already removed this one and im reinstalling the game n starting new
Gg
LMFAOOO
I can feel that you are lying somewhere
Like you can’t have all ||3 soul vessels and that little charm||
You can’t just delete your main save file like that with no remorse
🤔
i was following a guide to locate the soul vessels
wait yea ||i just took a look back at the screenshot, 4 soul vessels??||
Why though
this is not vanilla
Like why has ||bro not purchased fucking gathering swarm but has thrown 3k into a fountain and gotten like 1k essence ||?
It makes no sense
Bro literally has
Oh lmao 4
modded for sure lmfao
Wow, the incredible mystery was solved because of lies
bc i wnated to do a soul build
what would i be lying about im genuinely confused
yo we literally found u out on ur lie, no need to continue mate
I bet you’re not even related to elon musk
Well you have ||4 vessels|| which you can’t get in vanilla
what is vanilla?
3
Not modded
Is this trolling
i have the normal game downloaded from steam
Have you installed mods ?
no i really havent
I think this guy is trolling
yeah
now the question is how did they even do that, is it possible with debug mod somehow?
The game was originally supposed to have it
anything is possible with mods
Presumably some code for it
yea ig, maybe just removed the asset for it or smth
Yeah you can just use debug and click "add ||soul vessel||" 4 times
yea i was thinking that
Well they didn’t which is why it does show in game without any effort
Should we kill this guy with hammers
💀
Like if you just go in your save file, and edit it to have ||4 vessels||, it shows that (you technically don’t need mods to do that but it’s very hard/impossible to do it without)
Guys whre do i go for the void
Where can i find the void things for the siblings ending
- please use spoiler tags, more info in the pins
Sorry
- could you send a screenshot of your ||charm inventory ? You need a specific charms to get that, and I wanna know how far you are towards getting that||

||have u gotten the normal ending yet? u can get locked out of this ending on ur current save file if u go for the sealed siblings ending||

||i assume u r on the lower part of HoG, if thats the case then the void idol journal entry is past that door, u need to beat every boss attuned or higher to get it. (the journal entry updates if u do all ascended or all radiant||
no, completely optional
optional
i mean i usually ||jump away and pogo|| that one, just got to get used to it
i mean its just timing, but ||why do u want to parry that attack in the first place, there are much easier ways to dodge it||
||just jump over it and pogo it, easiest and most reliable way by far||
i did have some hardware issues when i remapped my controls once, more specifically [Space] (jump) + [Up+Left]/[Down+Right] would drop the third input and reject any future ones until one was released, so ||pogos while moving right were ... garbage ... contributed to issues in the last bit of a certain challenge where you end with a lot of pogos while moving right, but i hadn't noticed it yet so i thought it was misinputs||
while technically correct, the timing is incredibly precise and is only done in challenge runs
Common keyboard L
(not in my skill set either)
||for pv, u need to be jumping preemptively to anticipate attacks, u r almost always better off in the air than on the ground against pv||
That’s something to do with… zones on the keyboard… and you have like multiple zone, and within a zone only like 3 inputs can be seen at once

(i thought it depends on the keyboard, i'm just using a laptop because it's what i have. either way, my current controls have no such limitations)
i mean you can normally, it's just not useful unless doing challenges like no jumping or something
enemy dependent, yes
Yeah the shittier the keyboard the worst that issue becomes
Are nail turn arounds hard to do I've been trying to get a solid attempt for like 10 min and I haven't been able to do it
Oh soo I just have a skill issue
Nice
sibling got 2 laptops over time, one of them had it worse so true

what are you meaning by that ... just turning around and using nail, or the animation cancels?
||help i kill the Hollow Knight and i cant find him in god home||
||thk isnt in godhome||
To cancel the animation to hit abit faster
U gotta kill ||THE PURE VESSLE||
hmm ... i haven't actually ever messed around with them so i couldn't tell you ... what's the requirements/flow?
where
how do i use my charms?
After a shit ton of enemies and pain
oh okay
Sit at a bench and equip them? That's like hollow knight 101
im sitting on the bench but its only showing the map when i click on tab
(is it just turning around quickly or is there some specific timings and other stuff?)
||pure vessel is different from thk, if u wanted thk in godhome, thats not gonna happen||
Open ur inv not ur quick map button check ur settings to know what button opens ur inv
Press tab twice in quick succession or press the inventory button
There is the inventory, and the quick map, those are different
Idk ngl I haven't gone in depth with a yt vid I just watched like 5 min and have been trying to do it lol
oh i got it thanks 💀 it was that simple
Pretty sure it's just turning around quickly
Technically charm isn’t a spoiler so… ig it has a pass ?
hi shuu
||should i use the soul catcher charm or not cuz i dont have enough space for it does it make that much of a difference?||
||what charm do u have on now?||
||wayward, dashmaster,spore shroom||
it's not *that* useful endgame but it's better than nothing. it has the problem of ||becoming useless when you hit full soul, so in order to get value you need to remember to keep spending the soul almost as soon as you can||
inv screenshot and intended purpose?
||Soul catcher iirc makes it so you collect 14 instead of 11 "soul unit" per hit
So it’s basically a 25%|| increase, pretty good
Charms early game really don’t matter that much, don’t stress over them too much
||hey yall, i defeated hornet, made it into the abyss and obtained the shade cloak. where do i go now? it didnt really feel like that much of an ending, can someone give me a hint for how to progress?||
||shuld i replace dashmaster with soul catcher or baldur shell||
not ||baldur shell||
Well… you have the ||dreamnail|| right ? So you have a long term goal to do
Go do that
||do u have any other one notch charm?||
In ||pantheons charm binding is the hardest
Not being able to use soul catche||r doesn’t change the face of the earth
(||baldur shell is pretty bad outside of challenge runs and specific modded bosses||)
||with shade cloak, u can now go through those black void gates that have previously blocked ur way, u should try revisiting them to see what new things u can find||
btw is there any video explaning all the areas to go to after u unlock certain abilities cuz the maps too big/confusing and would be annoying to check everywhere after i gain a new ability
one that doesnt give out spoilers?
wat is it
one of the major aspects of metroidvanias is exploration, backtracking is a common idea for metroidvanias after unlocking new abilities. if u constantly search up / ask online on where to go next, then that removes the whole exploration aspect of metroidvanias and the game really isnt the same without that sense of searching and exploring the world.
i really would suggest just exploring everything on ur own without any online guides whatsoever, only when u become completely stuck should u ask around on what to do. it makes the game more enjoyable that way
No since you can go anywhere after an ability
If you mean areas where you can use abilities to get somewhere ik some
You can also buy ||map pins in the shop, those can serve to mark and thus remember places you couldn’t reach, and why you couldn’t reach them (if you match a pin with a specific thing blocking a path (acid, shaky floors…))||
so i started playing hk recently and it dosent run more than 40 fps,though my pc can run it more than 60 obv
the cpu is also not getting used
any help?
everything is on max settings right?
its off i checked 😭
Then it’s honestly gonna be matters of reboots, reinstalls and drivers
no on every setting its 40 fps
hmm
Technically there is a file in which you have a frame cap
But that shouldn’t be on 40 by default
idk 😭
Even with v-sync it’s 40 ?
yes
Uhh let me search for what the fuck that file was named
no matter what i do its 40
Yeah random screenshot of random convo
Peam
If that is set to something which isn’t 40 then it’s something with graphics driver or some shit
0.1 % chance its set to 40
can you check if the same problem occurs in other game rn
nope i play valo cs and shi those games perfectly works
hmm
i think reinstallation might work
this will not work but just change framerate cap to 4000
if i reinstall my prog would be saved right
Ye
ok
check if the problem is fixed
😭
gpu is 0 wth
DRIVER REINSTALLATION TIME
how to do dat 😭
bruh
Did you try putting it in rice
oh YEAH that might work
what gpu XD
I should be an IT teacher
i think washing the gpu might work
Do this
Sharpen it a bit
yes yes
@alpine comet @simple island @pliant cape thx for the effort tho (not a native eng speaker forgive the mistakes pls) 🙂
Hope you fix your problem
Does anyone know how much dmg ||descending dark does with shaman stone||
||i dont remember the exact numbers off the top of my head since there are multiple hitboxes for ddark and they each do differing amounts of dmg, but i know that if all the hitboxes connect, then itll deal around 90 dmg with shamans stone||
Boom shaka laka
Why is ||zote the gray princess locked up||
I thought he was a great warrior
It's a special treatment
To keep him away from the rest of vermin including you
Cuz he’s too strong?
Nah what are you talking about
Just wait until he gets out of the cage
It’s all a part of his plan
88
…
WRONG 
Only if all 3 hits though
Yea
He just showed mercy on you
I one hit those big knights
Smh
Exactly
What should I get for 1200 for
Geo*
Just || use pogo Or dive on the lobster ignore the little dude ||
yeah i was a bit overwhelmed cause i forgor to look up the boss attacks
so i frantically dashed around the arena
then died
Good luck next time ig
tanks
FINALLY
Damn, two in the same day
Beating ||p5|| is a great and very rewarding achievement for those who put in the work to do it
the most difficult part of it is to get to ||absrad|| it takes nearly 20 mins, sp long for only one try
Huh what 20 mins for ||p5||, r u kidding me? The world record for ||p5|| is like 15 minutes, so unless u like a top level speedrunner I find that a bit hard to believe
Nearly 20 minutes…
Yeah but like its more then Double of 20 on average
So nearly is quite strange to hear
Yes usually it’s 35-40 minutes on average
Yeah it’s funny how people like… if you just let them talk for a sec, they just break their own cover
what is ||pantheon||?
oh, sorry, just didn't look on the time, it takes me nearly 30 mins to get there,
Late game content, don’t worry about it if u still new to the game
Okay that is still extremely fast, u must be super aggressive in every boss fight
good build + good attack opportunities
yea, I just was tired of first bosses so i just rush them as much as I can
Being aggressive is rewarded in quite a few fights
Kinda, I did learn that playing safe does have great benefits
||dream warriors|| take sooo long though, only ||xero and gallien|| are fun, the rest are just boring and long
|| markoth || 
||I usually just shriek the hell out of xero and galien, I really don’t want to deal with them more than I have to||
|| gorb || better though
||in p5 his arena is so annoying||
hard to complete hitless
||average markoth enjoyer|| 😬
Yea it took me two hrs of attempts, very hard
Not really he's mid
I am a || GREY PRINCE ZOTE || enjoyer
💀

u mean to complete him on ||radiant difficulty||?
Yea, ||I did the whole hall of gods radiant||
nah, im outa here
nice, I will doing it sooner or later
best boss is ||zote from arena||
Good luck, ||ppl will say markoth is the hardest to radiant and it’s so impossible, but actually I found abs rad to be way harder to radiant, it really needs ton of practice and attempts for that||
Yeah same but difficulty is pretty subjective
Yea I was just basing it off my own experience, ||markoth took me 2 hrs to radiant while abs rad nearly took me 7 hrs||, it was a painful experience…
||imho the hardest thing about absrad hitless is the climb||
||yea the climb was very nerve wracking since it was very far into the attempt and I’m nervous that I’ll mess it up, then I actually do mess it up from bad movement and have to restart ||
ok 👍 but how late r we talking? because ive completed the game twice now and i dont know what else to do
I mean if u have completed the game twice, u r ready for ||pantheons|| for sure
||u need to have a simple key and go to waterways||
yep
thank you
did you beat ||radiance||?
i dont think so? i got the first ending where he ||becomes the hollow knight|| then i got the ||siblings|| ending
||u should dream nail thk when hornet knocks it down||
oo okay haha
poor ||hornet|| 
bruh i was doing ||pure vessel|| in ||hall of gods|| and when i died i randomly turned invisible
wai- wha-?
Ig just quit out and go back into the save 🤷
also does anything change if i either ||banish or defeat the grimm leader||? like does the choice matter
yes
Yes, ||different achievements and different charms as reward||
if you do the first option they disapear and you cant do ||nightmare king grimm|| or get the ||unbreakable charms||
ooooooooo thank youuuuuuuu
another one of me being invisilbe
This is so true
People who say ||markoth|| is harder are usually people who haven’t ended up doing either radiant
Yea dw u did
rip
sorry to who hasent made it there yet
ok so idk how im invisible but yea
leaving ||god home|| dosent help either bruh
Did u try just save and quit and go back into the save
That would solve it I think
||i unlocked dreamgate but how do you use it? ||
||hold dreamnail button + down direction to set a dreamgate, hold dreamnail button + up direction to go to the location of ur dreamgate||
||some areas disallow setting dreamgates, something to keep in mind||
how many can you set up
and does it cost anything
||u can only set 1 dreamgate, and it costs 1 essence to teleport to ur dreamgate location||
The ||essence cost|| is completely negligible
There is like ||600 extra essence in the world, and enemies will randomly drop essence at an increase rate if you’ve used dreamgate||
So like
Use it as often as you like
can i do this in one playthrough? leave ||zote|| to die achievment? ||i already rescued him multiple times|| twice actually
You don’t… it’s… the point of that jump
-# You can actually but it is a very hard and involved skip, not something to do in a first playthrough
You can’t, but don’t worry, lots of achievements require multiple playthroughs either way
Press the ||dash|| button
Well yeah… make sure you are using ||quick cast and not focus to use spells
Maybe install mods like debug mod to give you infinite soul for more retries||
It’s just a matter of retrying and making really clean turnarounds
If you are playing on keyboard specifically you may wanna get socd cleaner
It helps apparently
how do you open this
Where even is that
here
You gotta hit a lever from the other side
from below
ah alright
It’s actually a pretty fascinating ||lever as going from top resting grounds to bottom resting grounds is absolutely major in terms of progression|| and can be really easy or impossible to do depending on equipment
You need either ||dive, or cdash to get to lower resting, but can enter upper resting with either tram pass or lantern||
Is this uncspoiler
does anyone know a decent way to practice platforming, i suck at it and can barely get past the harder platforming sections in hk 💔
what about this spot
Idk ||White Palace?||
What do you specifically suck at
i got to it from here
not sure where to go from there
hmm nevermind probably from other side
||mantis claw|| specific sections, my ||wall jumping|| is extremely inconsistent and when i need to go from point a to point b instead of just|| climbing ||it gets painfully difficult, especially when there's a lot of obstacles
How about practicing where you got it
||Mantis Village||
There's ample platforming in most places I'd say, you can go on while practicing
slight problem is that i find those areas way easier than the later game areas, wont neccesarily help me in the long run
Well where did you discover you suck at it
||white palace||
(Spoilers !)
Well idk how to get better at the game
Just… play it a lot
Keep practicing there honestly
i assume you could get your ||shade|| there, find a bench nearby and lead your shade to the area you wanna cross and pogo over it
There is a bench
||White palace|| sucks, it’s huge and way too long, going through it will always be pain
I love it
But yea it makes you struggle
I'd say that's the best place to practice if that's where you suck at
You'll get through it, i had completed wp and pop on mobile back when i had no pc, so you should be able to learn
try to go up and down, it loses interest after you go too far away from it
like
once it goes down, follow it
Well you gotta bait it, it's gonna be a bit tough
it loses interest after not being able to damage you and or you damage them after a bit
every hollow knight enemy is like this
No that’s not how it works
The ||shade|| has a tether range, it physically cannot go further than a given area
You can’t ||shade skip to do the queen station skip||
thats how the shade acts whenever i try to do shade skip, dunno if i downloaded a mod earlier on that removes the tether range
im playing on a different save where i download a buncha mods rn, didnt care to do shade skip when i started playing since i thought it was of no use
A charms combo to do || nightmare King grimm || pls ,-,
personal preference, i can't neccesarily say since i myself need the answer to this question ,-,
XD OK i go try sime combos so ^^'
Okey thksm
I just need to get || unbrekable strength || lol
Yeah but i want to have it in unbrekabke so lets do it
Charms really barely matter for ||nkg
Just grab strength and shaman stone, everything else doesn’t matter a lot
You beat at nkg|| by learning the moves, not by equipping the miracle charm build that solves your issues
Yeah but I need || 3k left ||
i'd say ||steady body|| isnt needed for this combo, that's mainly a personal preference thing so i think ||shaman stone ||is better
Well you can’t really use them much, they are just a great way to punish the ||fire pillar||
That alone makes ||shaman stone|| worth using
We can get the two on the fight with this combo ^^'
o yea, a tip for every boss is to use spells, i know that healing is important but spells can also make or break your fight
But again ||nkg|| isn’t about charms, it’s about learning the moves, charms barely matter in that fight (besides ||strength making the fight 50% shorter and being easy to use cuz it’s a dream boss so it won’t break|| if you die)
I prefer use the ||abyss shriek || after this attack
If you can get 6 hits in that attack then your argument makes sense
If you are really really good at the fight, you can get tons of value from ||quick slash strength, but that is really hard to do
Getting one or two hits then a full shriek is much easier||
||https://youtu.be/AdlzTctDoYs?t=32&si=JRI9GSUJpFlc2Muo||
personally I do this, but yeah ideally you get like ||8 hits swirling around the boss then shriek|| but like… idk how to do that
i don't show the charm built in the video but it's, strenght, shaman and mark of pride
Me too but to do the first time the boss XD
guys is this the right path to|| the broken vessel? ||
Yes
too late lol
but
u know if after beating it|| u get the wings?|| or u gotta do smth else
I could tell you but
I rather let you figure it out
||after defeating the Broken vessel you just go to the left side and get the Wings||
ok thank you
died lol
It's fine
Just keep practicing
how do u do spoilers now again?
are you on mobile or pc
pc
you select the message like you're gonna copy it, and then click the eye button
i think theres another way wait
Use || at start and end
?spoilers
or you just
yeah that
do /spoiler
YO
Gg
ty
Nice
Congratulations my friend 
thank you
look!!
uh
why is ||crossroads infected|| now?
Add /spoiler before u sentence or || on tye 2 sides of u spoiler word
||Because you got wings||
\||like this to show||
i liked it way better before
Yes thk lol x)
just got the game
is kb or controller more precise
(i'm on pc)
also should i keep vsync on
Vsync means you will always be on the same frame rate as your display
That is usually a good thing
But, vsync in old hk versions was horrid
Now it just does what it says on the box
||Nope crossroads become infected when u get ur first dreamer||
Nope either work
- Spoiler tags
- Both are a trigger
- Don't reply ping me
Didn't know that
U reply pinged me tho
But pinging someone to tell them they are wrong when you are wrong definitely is a mood
I didn't know 😭
Yeah because you didn't state a preference, my username says it
(so does mine btw)
I apologize ig I am sorry for being a dumbass?
U just changed that didn't u
Ur name wasn't like that
Unless I am truly a dumbass
It has been for a few years now

Ima go sit in a corner and be disappointed in my self for not reading ppls names
But dw, my strat for hiding my dumbassness is to ponctuate my sentences with "iirc" I recommend you do as well
Anyway you still need to edit this message to spoiler tag the rest of the message
You truly are a mod
That's one way to do it
Mod:0
what happend to that frog bruh 😩🙏
I'm curious...does anybody else have this issue or am I going crazy. I'm in ||p3 and in the background of some bosses I swear I hear moaning. It straight up is distracting to me ngl||

(Ik swearing is allowed)
||GOD DAMNIT WHY DO I NEED TO FIGHT THE BROKEN VESSEL AGAIN HIS JUMP SHIT IS BACK||
He looks easy enough ngl
I've seen speedruns of ||P5|| before
||broken vessel and grey prince look harder||
||overcharmed = - 4 hp if a boss does 2 hp||
Incorrect but also not?

I never do that anymore
Fuck

i cant find|| warriors graves, and i need 300 for the mineral||
i just beated ||xero||
There are some about everywhere
There is one in ||greenpath (the lower part of it) one in fungal waste (the right side of it)
Just look for a random dead end on the map which doesn’t have a purpose and chances are, there is one there||
ok
ty
||Xero where you got the dream nail, but to the left.||
spoiler the ||warrior name, thats spoiler||
oh, true
and i said i beated him ngl
easy fight
i tried doing|| dream false knight and got absoluterly abused||
but meh
whats that
how do you get there
walk around that place
hmm alright didnt know you can
The map does tell you there is a transition there
Though it’s not super easy to spot it, the map clearly indicates it
Fair enough
mb forgot
whats behind that door and how do i get there?
||do pantheons with bindings for lifeblood whenever u sit on a bench mid pantheon||
any tips to beat ||mantis lords|| (also i cant find a bench near them, is the nearest one really 2 areas away)
best charm build for ||mantis lords|| on ||radiant||'
Assuming you have everything:
||Strenght, QSlash, MoP, Twister and whatever 2 notches charm/2 1 notch charm||
I like ||Sharp Shadow||
nah actually, take ||Hiveblood+Joni's Blessing||
This works too
And get that last ||notch||, you're missing one
damn the hitboxes of those things they trow always trow me out
max ||notch|| is 11, you only have 10
He's on radiant tho what's more health gonna help he's alr 1 shot?
You missed the joke bud
I prob did
I just did a shit ton of work and my brain ain't braining
wait for him to slash, then hit him and dash away
remember to hide the pictures tho
tysm, I understand it now
how tf did ||soul master|| tank ||5 abyss shriek|| in ||2nd phase||?
Did you cast when he was staying still or when he dropped?
when he was still
Lot if HP ig
it was ||ascended|| maybe it was cuz of that
Not the ||dream boss||?
In the ||God lands|| then, right?
would probably be due to the ||lack of healing opportunities|| ... if you need one, the only somewhat reliable one i found was ||after dodging the down slash||
even with those ||ghosts|| constantly spawning?
ah, that one... it can work sometimes on that one. ||you do ohko the ghosts, right?||
yep but i just beat him so now im trying ||radiant mantis lords||
and god is it hard

||If you like using spells and nail arts, add soul eater or swap gsong to twister or catcher and qf||
Genuinely: what is ||twin Beatles||?
ironically, when i did this i used [item spoilers] ||shape of unn||. this was specifically to ||dodge the shorter range scythe throw more reliably, as i forgot you didn't have to stand in the middle and could just go to the edge and jump over it||
||watcher knights XD||
I can't really see, how many ||notches|| do you have?
Can anyone pls identify this stupid bug
||Gorb, in Howling Cliffs||
Ily
