I'll be doing this on a ||steel soul|| run so I Wana be careful
Damn alright
literally what i was going to say
Baised on the character it's beliveable
š
||he doesn't even do damage||
Ok
maybe
Yes
I LOVE THIS EMOJI AND THIS SHIP SJSHSJDKOFJFJRNR
I WAS SCROLLING AND FOUND IT DIDJCNJXKENDKSUSHRNF
ok omw to go to ||c peaks||

Do they stack:
||nailarts charm and unbreakable stenght? Because imagine mantis petra. (Doesnt matter my level of nail2 pale ore upgrades) if i hit it normally with unbreakable strenght. dies in one hit
If i use nail arts(with unbreakable strenght). I takes a swing and a hit to kill.||
||strength does not stack with nail arts unfortunately||
however
||Upgrading your nail does upgrade the Nail arts||
Ahhhhhh. ||Good to know. But damn. Ik theres a charm that lets you hit faster. I ne3d to find it though. Poke poke poke is more of my playstyle||
||nailmasterās glory just speeds up the charge for nail arts, it doesnāt increase the damage any higher||
wy aplogiz fu spelin mstkae
Just did it without taking any damage :D also that sucks
I haven't read up at all but you are thinking about ||quick slash|| I think, it's my favorite ||charm :D||
Good luck
fr?
Yeah
||theres a cheese with grimm if you have abyss shriek, grubsong, shaman stone, and stalwart shell||
||if you search up "easy grimm cheese" on youtube it'll pop up||
||spam spam spam spam spam:)||
How many times will ||Grim stagger during the fight? I got him staggered 3 times. Was I close to beating him?||
||yes, grimm staggers(does pufferfish attack) on 75%, 50%, and 25%, and also if u attack him when ehs bowing||
Alright, I think that he did the ||pufferfish attack three times, so I guess he was on 25%. That's a good improvement for me.||
Yeah, ||the one in Dirthmouth.||
Apparently not. ||I just beat Grim.||
Anyways, now I'm ||in a debt of 15,000 geo.||
Chat how do I play Hk on mobile Ive seen it and wanna try it out (iOS)
Piracy š“āā ļø
YES SOMETHING IM GOOD AT (joke donāt hurt me)
It's not official
And we can't help you pirate a game-

<@&283547423706447872> 

@idle ingot don't tell other members to buy a privacy hollow knight version pls
anika nerded me
it's over
yes 
i dont quite follow sorry
*pirated probably
yeah that
also @violet zinc don't go ask other members on how to buy pirated hollow knight
I didnāt know it was lol
That is on me tho mb
i can't be bothered to help someone who thinks they'll get support for piracy on a partnered server
wasn't my goal
|| on the wiki it says the 1st phase radiance has 350 health but i used 4 abbys shriek with shaman and its still not 2nd phase, idk how, is it because when it first appears it has a shield or something?||
so the ||spikefloor ||doesnt appear? 

ah yes ... ||phases: definitions may vary||
its fine
i realized||it instantly starts apawning spike floor||
nvm
mb chat
((personally i don't find referring to them by number in that fight very useful))
(((then again, that's just me)))
And theres not much room to heal
Just ||up spell spam with shaman||
frr shu died to it again
It's draining frr
Continuous fighting with different bosses
The best place to stay is right below it, very easy to dodge the projectiles even if it doesn't seem like it.
||Also save soul for the 2nd one & spam shriek that's better. ||
Also spoiler tag ||oblobbles||
should i drop all geo?
it does give smth somewhat good so up to u i suppose
is it worth 13k geo
||it doesnt actually take all geo, it has a cap of how much geo u can put in||
Please delete the image as it isn't spoiler tagged
||And for your question, yeah in that specific area you can lose it sadly||
If you don't hear the music anywhere, you are fucked
damn, rip geos
ahhhhh it spawns||the left side of the shortcuts, if u dont have it unlocked its sad||
Gm
GA
I have defeated ||THK|| on brutal close combat
Bro hit me once and I went berserk mode
Nicee
what does it give?
||soul fragment||
oh
||I already dropped like 1.5k geo there do I need to drop 3k as a whole again?||
||u can just go back with 1.5k geo then||
alr thanks
or how many cycles is it
yes 3, and use spoiler tags for game content
ok
Please edit your message and add spoiler tags or delete it
please spoiler tags next time
Oh you meant the ||kid grim charm||
Please edit your message with spoiler tags
||do i need to beat him 3 times in radiant or what||
Sorry I forgotš
||dnail the statue||

Charmless should't really change the fight much ourside of making the fight longer. ||For WK pogo strats are quite nice and for markoth I'd just do nail arts when you can.||
||just how many stages does zote have?|| alr killed him like 6 times
do u get anything after all that
||A golden statue||
You alr have the achievement
Even doing it once isn't necessary
||kinda sounds like u doing p4 charm binding lol. anyways, ddark spam is very good against watcher knights, even charmless. for markoth, nail arts until second phase, then fireball and/or shriek spam.||

^ also pls follow the instruction as what roma said

also thanks roma 
which ||charm ||
of them should i use
I say use ||mark of pride and Compass and use Swarm for the last charm notch
But it doesn't really matter cause you're still in the beginning||
ok ty
The things you're currently using aren't that bad either
so im trying to do ||interface storage glitches|| but i cant get the ||quick map|| timing. does anyone have a good explanation/video of the timing
Maybe it has to do something with your version?
im on switch, latest version so idk what could be the problem
i bet it is my timing
just no one has shown the proper timing
on video
or i couldnt find it
It's probably that then
wait wth, i was watching a vid with the same charm build
but do you know how to do the timing
like when i tap ||cast|| or smth
I don't do glitches
But I know a lot of them are in 1.2.2.1 cause a lot of them got patched in the new version
alot of the glitches either got fixed or is really hard to pull off in the latest version but
Idk much about glitches and stuff so I can't help much
Sorry
|| you cant do exploding pogo and inventory drop in current patch || iirc
||best charms for lost kin?||

No, it does half

how to bounce high on these things
u can do both on current patch, just watch a current patch any% run and ull see both
it just makes me bounce automatically and that too a set height
nvm
i just figured
omg
down + attack
bruh
Yeah thatās what happens when you donāt have intrusive tutorials
Also the image is not tagged
no joke it took me 4 hours to figure it out lmao
Sorry my mom was calling me, but glad you figured it out
guys i just killed the first boss in dirtmouth where do i go
it took me 12 mins š„²
no prob
whhuteva ill figure it out
everywhere and anywhere

i would recommend going to top and buying useful stuff
after that you should go to left of ||ccrossroads||
Pls spoil your messages

tbh that isnt a spoiler ??
||dirtmouth||
And ||crossroads|| need to be tagged too
okkk i can understand about|| crossroad||
but
how is what you said a spoiler thats literally where the game starts
The rules change since last year
ah
The old rule is that everything needs to be spoiled after ||dirtmouth|| and ||elderman||
The new rule is that everything is now a spoiler
If you don't know which to spoiled, i recommend to check pins
i cant decide if i hate or love the artsyle sometimes its pretty sometimes ist kinda...
i really like it
progress further you will enjoy it
what is that last one? is that behind those gates on the far right?
yo ho do u beat that worm boss š
are you replying to me or someone else?
idk anyone
literally
so
idk
bad
hey can you edit that to have spoiler tag?
do u need to beat it to progress with the story?
What nail do you have?
wat but it isnt a spoiler no one will be able to remember that name or know who that is unless they search it up š
Yes but itās the rules
how do u know that ||u killed zote the 10th time||
Basically we donāt want any problems with people having different opinions on what is and isnāt a spoiler
So the rule is to be the most extensive as possible
The ||statue turns gold||
š
What nail do you have?
can u still fight him after that?
OMFGHG FG WHAT ARE THESE GREEN THINGS THEYRE FUC,KING ADORABLE
||theres only 2 types right the broken one u get as default and the sharpened one||
?
Please edit your message and add spoiler tags or delete it
||Flukemarm|| ? That boss really depends on what equipment you have
If you can one shot the ||flukes, itās just a matter of focusing on killing them
If you have strong spells which can hit her, spamming those works wonder
But if you donāt have either itās really hard||

They are the best
||Not really||
||statue turns gold||
multiple just keep swarming me its impossible
how many c's do i need to use for it to die?
o
interesting
||trying to beat GPZ 6, any charms you guys would recommend?||
Assuming you have full equipment ?
Yes
for a late game charm build I would say that ||shaman/quick slash/strength is a base line then you can add stuff like heart/spell twister/any combination of grubsong, nmg, dream wielder, sbody to finish; you can also replace one of the first 3 charm with MoP||
Ok tysm
I would suggest leaving her be then
Beating her doesnāt ||open up to anything major, and the fight can be really dumb without that much opportunity to get better at it||
burh i did not see one bench in 30 minutes of gameplay now im back at the start]
||spam shriek with spell twister and shaman stone||
Yeah there is like 99% chance they donāt have that
If they had they really wouldnāt be asking for help
||should I go to white palace after getting awakened dream nail?||
Ik but im not trying to do that
Well it is like the only reason to get thatā¦
The joy of backtracking
No I just wanted to no if I have to get anything before it so it would be easier
by the time you gain access to it you would have everything you need
||so is it 10 or 20 hours?||
You really only need || Parkour things as Wp is really just that ||
20, prob translation error or smth
oh...
100% 20 hours
Really funny that there is a mention of 10 somewhere
My guess being that in early achievs it really was 10 hours but it was then changed to 20
And translation was never updated
happened in french too for another achievement
i always thought it was 10 hours so i was rushing everything but it ended up with me always dying, thanks
Was actually double checking
(For ||woke DN and ascension||)
Well even if were 10 hrs itās not too huge of a rush, I think when I did that achievement I got it in like 9 hrs, and I wasnāt even that good or anything
Oh I remembered ||ascension but not the other one||
i know it's a lot but i want to do it with ||100% steelsoul||
Then it starts to be a bit iffy
||Does 2400 essence give a mask shard? Because I'm missing one, and does Lost Kin, White Defender, etc give essence?||
no and yes
Well darn
Wich ones you already got?
||Mask Shard locations by Cat

||Do I have to do flower quest for it||
Yup

yes
Well piss
Gl
That's the one I'm missing then
:(
||could I get the route for flower quest then?||
|| this is a pretty safe route, I would recommend killing all the enemies beforehand though ||
this route is a bit faster but also a bit unsafe
||Would the ultimate little guy charm build help (aka summons) ||
Not really
What about the stag
Tram is safe though
What about ||dream gate||
yeah
no
You are going through ||fog canion||
do not use ||minions||
:(
I lost a ||steel soul|| run to doing just that 
o7
For || flower quest || I would recommend charms like || Mark of Pride or Longnail ||
Keeps the enemies away from you
How many ||pantheons|| are there in total?
5
(Only 4 grant %)
I just did it
It wasn't too hard
can you help me
||soulmaster||
soul catcher and spell twister
I can go to ||godhome|| and fight the boss with you with the charms you're using
in which he starts to revolve the magic orange balls around him and rushes towards youi
it always hits me
we can play together ... ?
Co-op isn't a thing but I can see the attack patterns you're struggling eith
what charms should i use
Guys I think one of the grubs I was supposed to save died... Could I have saved it? In the area right after you get crystal heart
Describe died
Idk bro screamed so I went back and attacked the thing that grabbed it and then he just lay motionless
And I feel real guilty
||sprintmaster, steady body, long nail/mark of pride, and soul catcher|| works
It's mostly about memorizing the attack patterns though
Huh Welp I'll see later I don't have my laptop rn
Ty
So grubs really can't die right? That makes me feel better
FINALLY ANOTHER BENCHH
are grubs the green things
How am I supposed to get there
Yep
bro i think your pixels has some picture in it
Lmao
I decided to look up grubs and now I have some very disturbing idea of some spoilers
Smh
I wonder if there's a grub plushie...
FINALLY
i defeated
that guy
š i was using regular nail with soul catcher perk and thorns perk
tbh now that i think about it
he wasnt that difficult i was just being impatient
what the f š that guy had stage 2 and now im dead again
he broke the floor and started new attack pattern
š
this channel requires that u use discords spoiler tagging feature for all people, places, and things š
||example š || --> ||turns into this š||
||is there a charm that reduces shade cloak cooldown?||
|| the soul guy? ||
||
||
He wasn't hard tbh and phase 2 was really easy I beat him in two tries
damn
For phase two I suggest you bounce off his head when he is shooting you
And get in your hits in other times
phase two, is pretty easy as he has only 2 moves
He was caught off guard I suppose
I was too lmao, that is one of my fav boss fights
I hate the mini soul guys there teleportation is so annoying
ye
Did you beat him yet?
i was low too :/
i died 6 times
it takes like 5 mins just to reach him
I think I've played for 10 hours and lost 5000 geo
i'll try tomorrow
Well I faced skill issues and didn't reach him initially buf when I did it took 2 tries
Phase two is real easy
Just get past phase one slow and steady
Did you visit the nailsmith btw? @tepid meadow
That would help
XD I didn't even visit the ||nailsmith ||before defeating him
Hm
Nine sols made me git gud I think
š this means i just have skill issue
After defeating the nine sols final boss hk is pretty much a breeze
When it comes to the attack patterns
Still manage to lose geo smh
So broke
who is nine sols and who is hk now, sry im bad with names
Hk is hollow knight
XD
tag ||nailsmith||
now what is metroidvania š
metroid + castlevania
yeah
idk what that means
maybe somethign i havent unlocked yet
?
huh
Lmao games like hollow knight where you go back and forth for progression and there's a big map and you kill stuff
its a genre of games
oh alr thanks
theres this special thing called google
yea going back and fourth sux, im so down, wish there was fast way to travel smh
metroid and castlevania are other games
hk takes inspiration from them
alr thanks
hence its a metroidvania
Yeah ik can be kinda dull, when it gets boring I just let the game sit for a while until I feel like playing again
can someone tell me a good place where i can farm geo?
But then again many players love the freedom of movement hk provides
depends on where you are currently in the game
send a ss of your map
Oo me too I need geo farming places, don't have my laptop rn so can't share the map
ok wait a sec
Hm
what area are you in rn?
I've been to|| queens station, the place where the arena is, mantis village and the place below the waterway in the city||
Those are the far reaches of where I've been
do you know about the || colloseum?||
ye but i havent got there yet
why ? its easy to get
i mean im able to buy everything till now
easily
I die sob and there's a bunch of stuff in the shop rn costing over 8000 geo I think and I'm flat broke
well then just ||farm the hoppers in right side of kingdom's edge || or jusr get to the || colloseum|| you can get a ton of geo there
wait 8k š
ok yea no wonder you need geo farming area
Exactly
my most expensive item till now is 600
ok thx
What about me 
the room above the || stag station is a good place in greenpath||
kill the || moss knights||
wait
no
||farm the big knights in city||
Hm I've been through the ||king's station to reach the colosseum||
I die to them pretty easily, suggestions?
If you have || collo || unlocked then farm there
do stage 2
I haven't tried it yet how hard is it?
|| my nail has been upgraded twice||
hmm
Does that mean stage one is easy?
yeah
Also silksong when š
At least I will live to complete it
classic ||hall of gods practice|| - if you have everything then ||great slash|| is very useful
k thanks
||practise in hall of gods usually just try to get 1-2 hits in after he ends one of his combos ||
who is the toughest boss
(also, ||each basic combo has a proximity triggered followup, after that then they're briefly vulnerable||)
it would be a spoiler if i tell you
also difficulty is subjective
yes but there has to be a boss that many in the community consider to be difficult
||nightmare king grimm || imo
if he is 10/10 on difficulty scale how difficult is ||soul master||
tags first
like a 2/10
hmm
wait if im not being clear i'll be
by difficulty i mean ( not literally, ofc the starting bosses would be easier ) i mean relative difficulty to the progress of the game
considering all the factors : such as items, perks and stuff unlocked, health bar and stuff
what did i do that made ||the crossroades infected?||
Did you ||kill a dreamer||?
yes
That's why then
do you know why that happend lore whise?
||The seal is weakening||
do i need to know what the ||seal|| is or will it be revealed leater
Remember the big cinematic when you ||killed the dreamer||?
yeah
That's what I'm talking about
||Infection is spreding||
||You did it, you could have let her be||
yo can someone help me
With?
so I did mantis Lords after doing the master of souls
was j supposed to go to deep nest?
use spoiler
idk how
So after ||Soul Master|| I would go either ||Deepnest or the area right of crossroads||
|| so basically I did a right turn?||
hello?
Well it depends if you can see in ||deepnest||
wdym
after I buy the charm thing?
because I didn't š„²
||Well 1800 geo at sly||
shi so basically I have to go back after I got to the middle
Well if you have ||stations||
I am here basically
bro show a bigger picture
Well then go deeper into ||deepnest||
it's the area where you get the chair from the fall
left or right
This is a metroidvania you just explore and where you cant go just turn to the other side
Try both
aight thanks for the tip mate
arent you th eguy who helped me yesterday in the same mf situationm
have you foind|| jiji||?
whos that again?
he's in ||dirtmouth|| at the right end of it
if you give him a r||ancid egg|| hell give you your shade back
yes i did you have to use a ||simple key for that right||
any way to get this mf out?
*left and down
thanks
Does ||grimm|| get harder the more times you stager him? I'm doing good for the first round, and barely taking any damage, but it seem's that I can't do the same for the other rounds

How do I get this guy?
||a hidden wall in the deepnest room directly left||
secret wall?
thanks a bunch
guys I have a question where is the ||white lady|| again
Firstly you need to use spoiler tags in this channel
Secondly in ||queens garden||
thanks and I will use spoiler tags thank you
how can I save this little guy?
actually right where I am
in the image
thank you lol
You need to come from a different room
From below
you should still edit that previous message but⦠oh well
edit it to what?
The message in which you say the name of character that needs to be tagged
This right
how much health does the || rad || have?
dude why does ||gray prince zote|| telegraphing suck so much
any tips on how tò beat ||pantheon 3||?
id say ||1.5k spread out between every phase|| but I'm not so sure
practice bosses ||extensively outside of the pantheon
slow down your play, face tank less, you start to have more 2 damage bosses, more complex bosses||
only healing at the end of fights to restore the 6 damage you took face tanking the boss isn't gonna stay very functional for long
for a late game charm build I would say that ||shaman/quick slash/strength is a base line then you can add stuff like heart/spell twister/any combination of grubsong, nmg, dream wielder, sbody to finish; you can also replace one of the first 3 charm with MoP||
what do I do with the ||kingsoul charm||
this Is whar i use
no ||strenght ||is bad
how about || 15 shriek hits ||
like ||+ 50% damage|| is just not something you can not use
Its up to that much?
for ||ending||
you do the same damage by not using ||strength as you would do if you are under nail binding with strength||
I'll try without ||shaman Stone||
and replaxe It with the strenfht thing
the description tells you more about its use
eww in my opinion, cuz ||shaman is also basically +50% damage (but to spells) but I know that people like using mark of pride||
I know I want it for an ||ending ||instead too many ||notches||
I use nail much more than spells
you still have something to do with it ||besides just using it
you won't keep it in its current state for long||
will I end up losing it
Or giving it away
you'll lose its perks
hey how do i join a vc
Wait till your new role is gone
@supple sluice how long will that take
hey can someone give me some tips on beating the || white defender || pls
find it
go for ||nail build||
||mop is useful and qs||
okok thx
where arr u, do you have everything?!
i dont
i just beat the || watcher knights ||
yo no need to answer i just beat him
idk how but i did it
well congrats, seems like a real gamer skills
thx xD
iithought about getting some more stuff if you're fighting them early, but you'rr good
okok
||i think i just saw grubfather throw the last pale ore out of bounds?|| i just got the trophy for getting half of the grubs and he threw something out and yet. it never landed.
I've tried saving and reloading a bunch, even restarting the game and my ps5 and nothing is working
||do charms break in the white palace?||
I'm stupid.
hey did you know. hot hollow knight tip. 23<31
||fragile|| charms only ||break if you die||
edit: ||forgot white palace exists in the dream world so yeah they should not break, there is 1 exception to this but that would be a spoiler||
||Iām not sure but I bet 50% chance they break since it will end your steel soul I assume your charms break too||
Guys, does anyone have any tips for a radiant Uumuu?
And if the idol of emptiness needs Absrad.
||different ppl have different opinions on what the phases r for abs rad, so i suggest giving more descriptive names for the phases than just numbers. i assume u r talking about the phase before sword rain and the phase with platforms?||
ah i see, and now u see the problem firsthand, since according to the wiki there are 6 phases, but many ppl dont think that
so then, 4 and 6
||for the platform phase, i would suggest just staying on the middle platforms until abs rad spawns near, then u can go in for a crap load of damage before backing off and dodging her attack. if u have the soul, u can really deal a bunch of damage by ddarking, which will allow u to deal tons of damage in the ddark iframes. u can also get free shrieks if u r positioned correctly relative to abs rad. like if abs rad spawns nearby the top middle platform and u r camping the bottom middle platform, then u just need to go a bit left or right to get in the perfect position for shrieks. if u think just camping near the middle platforms is too slow, u can technically try to chase abs rad as she teleports around but i wouldnt really recommend that since u r easily prone to getting hit if u do that.||
||in all seriousness anythign that comes in range of shriek with shaman is cooked||
also wiht||spell twister||
yapity yap ayp
is there a better build than what im using? currently got ||strength, mark of pride, quick slash, salwart||
achows been typing for like a minite already
||for the final phase, the main way that ppl do it is to just try to pogo abs rad the entire phase and ideally not stay grounded for too long. the idea behind this strategy is that the orbs will despawn if they fly too high offscreen, so all u really need to do is to weave around the orbs as they fly past u and despawn, while also following abs rad as she teleports around. as u get enough practice with the final phase ull get a sense of timing of when shes gonna teleport, and u just gotta try to predict where shes gonna teleport. if abs rad is on the left, then u know shes gonna teleport somewhere to the right of u, whether that be the middle or the right, so u can just start pre-emptively heading to the right when u think she is about to teleport. and same idea if abs rad is on the right. but if abs rad is in the middle, then she can either go left or right, u might have to land on the ground if she teleports in the direction u dont expect||
knew it
||i recommend shaman stone instead of mark of pride||
||MOP is good for elary game though||
||i also use spell twister instead of stalwart shell, but its up to u||
||for a not as skilled stalwart is pretty good||
im osrry if mean
||well they were just asking about abs rad, in assuming this is their build for abs rad||
||stalwart improves suvivabilty alot||
oh ok
is that also good for ||pantheon 5?||
dont wanna get used to a build and then have to use a different one eventually
ty for the two tips btw
||yea, shaman stone is insanely good in pantheon 5, but u really need to use spells a lot throughout the pantheon to really take advantage of its damage buff||
||there is also a bench before pv so u can change ur charm loadout there, if u feel like to||
Anyone know where I should go for help with recording/lag issues? I'm having lot's of trouble
||thanks for the help. finally got my first victory||
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
thx š
I'm lost... Again
Welcome to HK
Everywhere, idk where to go next
I have been to the place under city of tears but don't have a map for that
Put that in a spoiler (aka tag) please
Idk how to spoil an image
Also
Maybe go explore ||deepnest|| a little bit
Or just try filling the map
Ohhh
Anything but there
Well then just try to fill the map then
||explore part under crystal peaks (most important part of game)||
Idk where the map guy is in the place under ||city of tears||
||i think it was like go all the way left||
||I kept going right||š
Thank you
hellooo i come with a sort of big generalized question
Im kind of at a total loss for how to progress right now? I dont know what to do or where to go, im still learning my way around this game so any kind of direction for where to go/what to do next would be appreciated
Here is what i currently have, i assume thats the best way to show my current progress
Can you take a picture of your map?
Zoomed in or out? I wish we could adjust the zoom level in smaller increments...
||Deepnest|| is there but i just ran in to grab the map, take a quick peek, and ran out
Im also missing roughly the entire right side of ||city of tears|| but i dont know how to navigate that place at all
Are you referring to ||royal waterways|| or something else?
Yeah I concur with going to ||royal waterways||
Thank you!
Ah i did have another smaller question
I know the charms im using right now are good for spells, but im still not really good at using spells yet and end up doing most of my damage with my nail
Is there a better setup for that with what i have, or some charms i should get that are accessible?
Unfortunately i do die quite a lot
Should i just keep what i have, then?
Thank you again
||qs?||
||i just cannot do the final section of absrad||
||like i know youre supposed to pogo... but i like, cant do it||
I considered starting a new file but I already have 105% and don't want to lose it
I mean, it might be the easier way but idk how I feel about spending 40+ more hours on a file
Yea true
I might just keep practicing the fight, but I'll see what happens
||although I couldn't imagine how painful he would be in p5||
||Alright I might just try a few different strategies and charm builds then until I have it down (if that ever happens š )||
Thanks (and no promises)
what should i do now?
||i already got one ending of becoming the vessel||
really confused of where to go and what to do
||shade one||
sure
yes
i want to get ||112%|| on this
yeah, trying to find them right now, really difficult cus i kinda explored most parts so i have to check everywhere again
ayo wtf
||did bro eat his children??||
Spoiler
You donāt have to
Entirely optional even
What abilities do you have
Alexa play despacito
||i got dash, the horizontal spell and the upwards spell. I got the wall climbing aswell but I think think thats relevant||
i think its skill issue
I would recommend playing defensively it will take longer for it to die but just focus on your health
its close range slash pmo
||Can someone watch this really bad absrad victory and give feedback||

Ok
Ah... from exploring ||royal waterways|| i accidentally stumbled into ||ancient basin|| and i feel massively underequipped for this place. I ended up ||going past the big acid spitting guys to break open the shortcut to broken vessel's arena and then grabbing the geo bench|| but im currently mapless bc ||i got tricked by the geo fountain and lost all my money|| and terribly lost
Any tips for what i should do here or how to exit? I had to log off for the night but im asking now before i forget so i can check on this tomorrow
||maybe for now go explore another area and get some more charms or mask shards, then come back when you feel prepared||
I have no idea how to leave, is the issue
Do you remember the path you took to get there?
Not at all
Maybe just try to explore until you find the exit then?
I had to log off
If someone could draw a line on the map of this place going from ||the geo bench/broken vessel's arena to an exit|| that would be a lot of help
I didnt die on my way here
What happened was i accidentally ||cancelled my cdash in the middle gap of that long thin tunnel of spikes and just dropped down||. I made a poor decision to set my save at ||the geo bench after getting it|| instead of quitting out so now im stuck here until i can make my way out manually
||first of all why in the hell r u jumping and dashing all over the place before abs rad even spawned in, just stay in the middle lmao. also, something that will make the fight a bit easier is using ddark, its iframes are amazing in dodging many of abs rads attacks. i noticed that a lot of the time that u were hit were due to the orb attack, and that attack can easily be dealt with by ddark iframes. ddark is especially useful in the beginning phase of abs rad where spikes are spawning on half the floor, since ddarking on top of them will temporarily remove the spikes, leaving the floor completely clear of spikes for a couple of seconds. usually u can overlap ddarking over the spikes with dodging an attack such as the orb attack to not only remove the spikes but also dodge the attack with iframes. like at around 1:16 in ur vid, idk if u accidentally dashed the wrong way but one thing u couldve done there was dash to the right and ddark on the spikes for a completely safe dodge, just in case abs rad starts her next attack while u r over the spikes. also generally u shouldnt ever try to heal in the first phases of the fight, just try to make it past sword rain phase before going for heals. as for ur platform phase, when u get a nice teleport from abs rad, u should almost always try to ddark on top of her to maximize ur dps, since u can deal a lot of damage as ur iframes r active. like at 1:50 when u went for the punish after a nice spawn, u absolutely shouldve pre-emptively ddarked before going for further attacks, not only would u have successfully dodged the orbs, u also wouldve dealt a ton of extra damage from attacking during ddark iframes. ur climb phase was good, i dont really have anything to say about that. ur final phase was also going fine, but noticed how u were caught off guard and u got hit when u landed on the right platform at around 3:20 in ur vid, thats an example of why i recommend to try and stay airborne for the entire phase||
Ah... i dont have ||the tram pass|| yet š
Thank you yet again
Nope ||i got tricked and dumped all my money in the fountain||
||for the first part, i didnt mean to not be in the middle. do you ddark at the beginning of the orbs or like after the first one or two? yeah there were a couple times where i just went the wrong way and yeah i got caught off guard at the end||
||Over 900||
||But i have a fair bit of relics stashed in the event of something like this so getting money once im out wont be an issue at all||
||usually u would ddark right before even seeing an attack since it could really be anything, not only the orb attack, but ddark iframes can dodge through all of abs rads attacks. so depending on how early u get to abs rad after she teleported, u can get like three nail swings before doing the ddark; the important thing is that u do it right before she does an attack to maximize the potential of ur iframes, and to also dodge as much of the attack as possible. for example, if ddark at the right time u can most likely dodge 3 of the 4 orbs before the iframes wear off and u have to back off from attacking.||
||if u have enough soul u even have time for a shriek during the ddark iframes||
I like their Style honestly, let's see what I can add here....
Alright, Mango here with its opinion for you. 
||This is a very well executed wow, I felt like you tried to control every move there, but consequently it led to a disadvantage... It's slow (in the first half of the clip I even thought you were without Quick Slash XP)||
||Some things you can incorporate into your strats - 1. A full jump allows you to hit the boss twice safely, which means you could have done more damage with each jump + upslash you did 2. I love how you're slashing upwards, they are powerful yea but the Side slashing is Optimal! Every time you run towards Radiance, you can already do damage by slashing sideways on the way, get it? and then when you're close, you up slash, this will increase that offensive side you need, plus more damage ^.^ 3. If you're really going to use Shriek to do damage, then don't waste your time!!!!! Once you get three hits you can cast the spell OR alternatively you can save soul to perform three casts in a row which wipes their HP 4. Keep asking for tips like this ;) Experienced players will teach you more and more advanced strategies the further you progress, well keep playing I suppose GL
||
||Thanks for the tips!! So are u saying I should use jump + upslash 2 times or side? or both? I see what you mean I think I get stressed out sometimes while dodging and don't think to swing my nail at the same time. Does doing three shrieks in a row do more damage or is it just more convenient?||
okay gotcha thanks for the tips!
||When you jump Under Radiance you can always go for a double hit one when you're rising and another when you are falling! Swinging sideways grant more range to the side so it makes sense you wanna side slash when you jump towards the boss | Shrieks will deal same amount of damage but let's see a scenario where you get the boss standing doing nothing, if you have the soul just spam it XD almost 500HP gone with Shaman Stone just like this, But the most important thing is to get in tune with the attacks and learn how to punish them (or in other words "get used to them and all possibilities") You're doing well, later if you want I could Record a Clear with not complicated strats and moves you could try ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ||
||Dodging a lot is not a problem, eventually you'll see more windows for a great attack||
||Oh okay that makes sense with the shriek and slashing yeah. Do you use ddark also? I've tried it but I have trouble with it and I feel like it harms more than helps me but maybe skill issueš Yeah I'd love a recording later with strats, also so u can show me the double hit||
I've had cleaner victories but the one I recorded just happened to be my absolute worst one tho LOL but thats okay because more mistakes = more feedback
||Ddark is good enough to make Triple Shriek look silly, BUT it's good for a Nail-focused fight where you'd just use it to defend yourself, not deal damage.|| I could ping you tomorrow with some clips, maybe different approaches, I gotta sleep now 
I'll talk about Strat specifics when I record, uhh see ya ^.^
Andddd how many strats you want me to put in it? lol - I think three clips is good enough
heres a recording i did real quick (sorry for bad quality, i had to compress it to fit in discords size limit), im a bit rusty with ||abs rad|| so dont pay too much attention to how i played near the end lol (maybe can be used as examples as what not to do lmao). but i did use ||ddark|| a couple of times in this fight, maybe this gives a bit of an idea of how it affects the fight
I don't think that video is spoiler tagged
Or my discord is shitting itself
No worries, overcomes the best
It'll be unlocked later from the other side.
Also spoiler tag, ||dashmaster|| & the image
i can't unlock it later because I can't leave
Leave from the area where u came
Go up
the area where I came is too tall for me to jump to
you dont have ||claw||?
no
There must be smth u can jump off, pogo on
Check again
yeah pogo off the purple thingies
their dead ass isnt I'll show you
Sure
well whats the problem isn there an entrance left?
Yup
||jump from that higher platform on the left, at the apex of ur jump then dash ||
nvm
Oh lol
you have to try very hard in this game to get hard locked
i figured that out
Good,
Also, kindly use spoiler tags
||I found an imposter hollow knight... and am losing quite miseably||
yeah early game they can be pretty hard
using the ||ledges on the side of the center platform can let you sneak heals in||

check your map, look for other openings
I'm so far out of the map rn I think lmao

let's just guide him there
no
life is pain without a real map

imma deal with this rascal first
i cant either ngl
nvm imma just leave him to die

bench
idk if it's canon you might have to come back

to make sure he died
am I wrong in scaling hp based off of how many nail hits it takes
to the giant open door to the left
nice keep going
||if u r talking about zote, then zote will never die at deepnest. if u leave him there he'll just be stuck there forever||
deserved
well idk how to get to him in deepnest and I wanna leave him in there, he's a ||dick head||
and I die because of my attacks not doing shit
||well i mean there are certain achievements involving zote, so it could be worth to save him||
well, go left and ||get the tram pass|| and I'll guide you to a ||damage boost||
i dont plan on 100%'ing then
Tag ||tram pass||
||deep nest|| is difficult when you'
Tag
