and it was 2nd violation too 
Ver sadg
@stoic cedarcan you help me, i got ||100 essence|| but idk where to find that|| old lady which upgrades|| the ||dreamnail||
||u can find her in resting grounds, its to the east of where u initially got dreamnail. also, 100 essence wont really give u much||
i have 239
||got 39 normally and then killed one guy and he gave me 200||
thanks tho
@stoic cedar sry for pining again but
should i ||dreamnail|| this guy
You can try to kill those
But the ||essence|| you get is negligible and you may die… a lot
up to u, tho u might want to be careful of what happens if u do ||dream nail|| him
i did, that guy is crazy fast and deals crazy damage 😭 im better of not messing with it
dude how do we even kill them, the first guy is so so fast and deals so much dmagae
Parry or dodge that guy sumhow
Nothing else u can do
how many hits does it take to kill it
Can't be killed normally
U gotta ||dreamnail all the other spirits there first while avoiding the fast guy.
Then u can d.nail him too||
alr thanks
there are so many of them and to get them all while avoiding the first guy seems impossible
There's another option
just die 
Come back
& die again
shuu did it like that
can you send me video
||why r u even trying to kill the ghosts in spirits glade, like bro just leave them be 😭 ||
idk seems fun
this took me an hour to do
sorry for not uploading for 3 weeks, i got really busy :[ but its summer now so i should be able to upload more
join my discord server for events, games, and sneak peaks for new videos: https://discord.gg/AjS9zgCWVC
ok so this guy is doing but he has alot more hearts, more charms and abilties and most of all, more skills 😭
||u dont have to do them all at once like shown in the vid, the ones u killed will stay dead even if u leave the room||
wait this thing is optional and not necessary for further progress
?
alr then i will return when im more skilled and more hearts
becuase i thought it would make story progress
it doesnt even give anything other than ||the meager amount of essence dropped by the killed ghosts||
At the cost of a stack of deaths
ahhhhh.i finally got the one i really like. final 2 charms
||quickslash|| that one was kinda hard for me
I don't remember what did I say to be fair
Mb
so how do I access dlcs?
Was watching bluesr's video again.
||Flukenest does 112 dmg w/ shaman ||in patch 1.22.1.
How much does it do in the latest one then? 1.5.7.8
A full cast
actually , what's the max dmg it can do including the glitches & stuff..
Shuu wants to fully utilize it in a P5 run
Pretty sure it was somewhere around 800 with the old glitches
As the hitbox lingers
It crazy
Not that
No
Shu meant
On this version
Can it do around 60+ dmg without ||shaman|| & around 90/100+ w ||shaman||
60 and 80
And honestly with how much the ||hitbox lingers you honestly randomly get a lot of double hits for 160…||
From my limited testing
It is really fun to use, I still wouldn’t recommend it as it is useless for quite a few bosses and not the easiest bosses
does saving ||grubs|| benefit us
yea
what
i have been saving them, and they even attacked me 😤
i had to kill 2 of them
||saving grubs gives rewards||
||also those were grub mimics that attacked u, not real grubs||
oh
can you tell which rewards
i will get and how
i havent gotten any till now
-_-
now im stuck missing the final two ||grubs|| thats an even harder because idk where i havent searched yet
||u need to visit grubfather||
thx
There might be a ||grub map or smth||
Fun is all that matters for shu....
Otherwise the whole ||Pantheon5|| itself feels useless to shuu ngl.
& shuu loves how ||Flukenest doesn't trigger stagger/stun in bosses & u can directly kill them||
hmmmm
I avtually googled if theres a better way of looking.
Man. I got too reliant on asking. ||the collector. I didnt check my inventory. I had some items i still havemts used||
I did have places i didnt properly check
||i dont think the limit for flukenest is 160 dmg, i think it can probably deal more dmg than that depending on how the boss moves. each fluke deals damage when an enemy moves into the hitbox, so each time an enemy moves out of a fluke hitbox and back into a fluke hitbox, it will count as a hit. but u really need to know how to use flukenest to make the most efficient usage of these multi-hits. for me personally, i tried them for a bit but i couldnt really get them to work that well, and i like the versatility of shade soul better so i didnt bother using flukenest. but if u watch pantheon speedruns ull get a pretty good idea of when and how u should use flukenest||
The thing is. Im only missing 2.but apparently the last two is near it
i wanna do 2 each, whats the best 2 combos
Yup, the avg dmg for a casual player is around ||160 maybe||,
Also, the whole idea of using ||fluke in p5 is actually due to a video shuu has watched multiple times..
211a's - Destroying Pantheon 5 with Flukenest||
& shuu loves how ||Flukenest doesn't trigger stagger/stun in bosses & u can directly kill them||
Personally, ||shell+nail ,soul charms. || depending on ur casual build u can switch out|| soul/nail ||
Best
A LOT of diff
Pretty sure is 88
what the hell are those 2 ||goofy fire shooters||
||well i took a quick look at that vid and it looks like a standard pantheon 5 speedrun to me, u could probably just watch the wr and see what they do. i would imagine its pretty similar but who knows, im not an expert in pantheon speedrunning||
Where
||pantheon 2 ig||
||shooting fire in alot of directions||
whats the best counter to them
||oblobbles||
||r u talking about oblobbles? pretty sure u have to have faced them before to even unlock pantheon 2||
||really??? i thought oblobbles was required for p2 unlock||
watched the wr too, but that skillset is out of shuu's league & shu wouldn't even tryna relate to it.
Whereas 211A's standard one is better for casual players like shu.
maybe i saw them but didnt notice, how do i kill them
Stay right below one of them
Minimal movement required to dodge then
||i just searched it up, u do have to beat oblobbles to unlock p2. do u remember the colosseum of fools? they appear as the final boss of the 2nd trial||
Most people forgot bout them cause the only time they appear is at|| colosseum 2||
& most people do that only once.
Unless they want to farm for money
That's still minority tbh, most people go for ||kingdom's edge ||
||for oblobbles, the safest way to deal with them is to continually hit them until they are about to shoot, then back off and dodge the projectiles before going in for more hits. nail arts can be useful here to charge up while dodging, then going in for a cyclone slash or dash slash. if the opportunity arises, u can also go for shrieks (even better if both are clumped up, u get insane value for one shriek). u can also shade soul if they are further away, u might be able to hit both of them at once and maybe even get some double hits on the same one. on the second phase, the safest way to approach this phase is to just keep using dash slashes until its dead. u wait for the one oblobble to finish shooting, then do a dash slash + maybe a couple quick nail swings, before backing off and dealing with the next wave of projectiles||
are we supposed to do ||crystal peak|| before or ||kingdom's edge||
pretty sure u can explore any area
but maybe theres benefits to exploring some before
there is no main way to play this game, u can do either first, just explore
personally i'd say ||crystal peak|| as you'll get an ability which will help u explore ||kingdom's edge|| and more stuff
ok thanks
||N.Arts deal 2.5x dmg from the base nail (broken nail) dmg, or according the the upgraded nail dmg||
?
||nail arts damage calculations are based on ur normal nail damage. so it is affected by nail upgrades. nail binding also affect nail arts damage since they affect ur normal nail damage||
||note that strength doesnt affect nail arts damage, so nail arts damage calculation is based on nail damage before strength modification||
Ohww
Thankyu
I hear a grub next to the ||queens cocoon|| but I can’t reach it
Where?
Can u send a ss
||wdym by queens cocoon? r u on the very left side of the map? i think i know which grub u r talking about but i just want to confirm.||
||It's most likely Herrah's sub area||
||i was thinking white lady but idk||
Same
||you need to take a different path from below||
also please tag ||grub||
Do you have ||dash slash||
It was the room before her
Yeah
||u can dash slash through the left wall to get the grub||
||but the intended way is to go around from below||
any tips for this guy? i got cooked last time
||Sheo is peak, anyways the tip of his brush tells you what attack he's gonna do If you didn't notice before||
-# Though you probably did
welp i read that too late
im done with waitin imma ball it out ||with all 4 seals||
||All bindings P2, okay then||

||p2ab is the easiest of the pantheons to do all bindings imo||
||from my experience, i would rank from hardest to easiest: p5ab, p3ab, p4ab, p1ab, p2ab||
I don't like ||P3|| 
is it something i should attempt on my first run tho

wdym by first run? like ur first attempt ever? or first attempt with ||bindings||?

-# 
||wellp2ab isnt even that bad imo, oblobbles could be really annoying but its mainly just cyclone slash + dash slash spam, nosk was also really annoying from my experience but u just need to take advantage of those corners that u can hide so that u dont get hit. i think the rest of the bosses are pretty chill even with all bindings||
||yea, ur dps is severely reduced with all bindings, thats the reason nail arts are so good under the context of all bindings, cuz normal nail swings just r so bad||
||should i do grimm troup before ending the game? Im almost at the end, defeated all dreamers||
||up to u, the grimm troupe quest is a whole separate thing so u can do it whenever u want||
alright
The what now
||u mean oblobbles?||
same thing
in the trials?
||he is doing p2ab||
what does ab mean
all bindings
||all bindings, isn’t that what u said u were doing?||
Another achievement
whats that
||hunters mark||
||hunter mark||
didnt knew the short form
||also what is true ending in the game||
||it is the ending called “dream no more”||
||Fight the "sun"||
||then whats the pantheon 5 one||
No
||where u die with radiance||
||that’s the godhome ending, called “embrace the void” (there’s also delicate flower ending too)||
jojo reference
||which ending requires to beat path of pain||
None
ohhh
Ion watch JoJo's
missing peak
someone feeded me wrong info
Blasphemy
ong
That's easy
??
Too easy
yall did it?
Yes? 😭
HUH
Yes
thought pantheon 5 was tough af
||That's The Radiance dawg||
It is, but just takes practice
Or is that ||Abs Rad||
That's easy
whats this place
||god home||
||yea, I mean I already have radhog so…||
||youll find out, try looking in|| ||royal waterways||
||should i just aim for the normal ending for now, the radiance one, or i got for pantheon||
Uh russian, idk how translate ||"radhog"||
||normal||
How this translate
||radiant hall of gods, I did all of them radiant||
||but if i wanna do pantheon i gotta start a new save right||
||no||
||i can get multiple endings in one playthrough||
||yes||
yw

||do the normal ending first tho, u will get locked out of it on ur current save file if u go for true ending without having done normal ending||
alright thanks
got through the ||olingu guy|| now need to beat ||mantis lords with 2 shells||
||Mantis lords|| are easy
||fighting radiance is considered normal ending?||
||bro it’s called oblobbles 😭 ||
no

not the absolute one
Prob one of the worst bosses ever
Still no
||can u name me the normal ending im sorry im asking too much||

||u mentioned u got all the dreamers in an earlier message of urs, so now all u need to do is to go to the temple of the black egg and see what’s inside, this will lead to the normal ending ||
||do i need voidheart?||
No
||in fact, if u have it right now, u will not be able to get the normal ending ||
no way i died to a ping pong ball boss
||im tempted to do the dream no more ending||
i'll just do ||charms and soul ||
||damn, in all bindings u just have to take that boss slowly and not panic, get in the rhythm of using ur nail swings to knock marmu back as it charges towards u. Great slash can be an option in this fight but usually only when marmu teleports, since that’s a safe window to charge a nail art||
idk i feel like i time it correctly but it sometimes still hits me
||keep in mind that if u haven’t done the normal ending yet, but continue on to get true ending, then u will be locked out of the normal ending on that save file, and u will have to start from a completely new file if u want to get the normal ending. Just something to consider||
||but how can i fight the final boss again if i already killed him in normal ending||
||that boss will always be there. Endings do not actually affect anything in ur save file. After the credits roll and u go back into ur file, it’ll be the same as before u got the ending||
ohhhh thankss, this really helps
erm
i hate when that happens
so annoying
||literally the only reason i did in collo 2||
died*
can someone tell me here wher ||flower quest|| starts and where it ends?
I can give you a better map than this lol
i just searched on google and it was the first thing that popped up
bc
i play on switch and when i take a photo the lighting is always so bad
cant i just ||dreamgate||?
Try it
It breaks it
then i'll just place dreamgate at grey mourner and tp back when i take dmg
Ye I realized
That’s the best thing to do
Damn is ||going threw city is better?
I went threw he lake and dirtmouth||
dude i hate ||the radiance|| so much istg
It’s not better
I find it safer
Ye best option
The fastest way is what you did
Nice
bro why cant they place a ||bench|| here im cooked
||Just realized I said dritmouth and not crossroads||
It ain't ment to be easy
Which ||pantheon|| ?
2nd pretty sure
||Sheo|| isn’t the easiest to hitless…
i shouldnt have goofed around in the 2nd last one fr
I would be more confident heading into any other last boss
Well now u know for next time
can i use the ||stag|| with ||delicate flower||?
nop
what do i even get from ||flower quest||
||Mask||
shard or full?
Guess 
i just asked bc a single shard doesnt seem worth it tbh
nah its easy to do dat quest
hollow knight is avaialble on phone??
shu is a war criminal
||not really in particular, but sly is pretty chill anyways, not much to worry about. Just do consistent responses against each attack and ull be fine ||
that's just saying

crazy
Mainly just get better
practice the boss in the ||hall of gods||
for ||phase 2 dash AWAY from sly and not into him||
There's a LOT to worry when a useless mob before him leaves u at 1 hp.
shuu definitely isn't skilled enough for a hitless run yet
thats the only thing
wish, if only shuu reached there
What?
2nd phase
That's not the issue ngl..
Shuu can defeat him in ||hog.. ||
But the worst piece of existence before him locks shuu
why the hell can the ||delicate flower|| withstand me flying through multiple pillars of stone but it cant withstand a fricking ||stag||
Who trips you up before him?
Lol
@gloomy hollow
you really cant repeat path of pain???
U can still use a ||tram ||btw
ik
Yeah
man and i wanted to do it again
U still can
how
With some file changes
||winged nosk is probably even easier than sly, that boss is kinda like vengefly king but 5x more annoying, it’s really more of a pushover rather than an actually challenging boss||
It has weird hitboxes
can i find a tut somewhere?
That's the main issue
i might be a masochist but i wanna do pop again
Uhh, yk how to install mods?
Just reach out to #1057825333841240104
They'll tell u
||yea, u usually have to jump higher than u expect, but ull find that this boss is pretty chill after just half an hour of practice in hog||
dude i just realized what i would have to do, im NOT doing ||flower quest||
Okiee
Lost a ||%|| btw
There's a very safe trick to it btw
If u ever wanna do it
wait what? ||i was watching a vid on pop and some guy had pure vessel at the end of it is that a mod?||
Yuh, sometimes shuu can pogo, sometimes nahh
Yes
Yep, also spoiler this
i can do it another time
Yes
Use spoiler tags and yes
you didn't
I said yes
^
Yea thats a brutal mod
Can anybody tell me some good ||charms|| for ||the radiance||
Oof
oof
Whatever you use normally
and is good for your playstyle
What charms do you have?
oi oi oi, spoiler tag
let me send a picture wait
its hard telling people that dont use ||spells|| that ||shaman stone|| is good for ||radiance||
Check tags that isnt a spoiler
please tag ||spells||
Charms don’t need tags
damn, so the guy who yelled at me over this channel for like five minutes was wrong
Smh teent
:D
Lmao
That happens
the stuff u get 5 minutes into the game do NOT need to be spoilered bro
Sometimes…
like cmon
||u can see what attack sheo is about to do from the color of his brush. U just gotta learn how to dodge each of the colors and u will be fine. Anything specific about him u r struggling on?||
75% man
||the colour of his paintbrush indicates the attack he's doing so pay attention to that. Be patient as well. Wait for him to do an attack, dodge it, and then try to deal damage. Don't play too aggressively and try to deal damage while he's attacking you||
i just get confused between the colours
what about ||spells ||though, those aren't included in that list
idk man just do whatever
||spells|| needs to be tagged
i doubt anyone will be spoiled but do it anyways ig
hey the fun police is here, we're here to take your fun
||Paintmaster Sheo|| wall by Saryyx#8837
||Sheo’s attacks are fairly easy to dodge, because when he’s about to attack the tip of his brush changes its color. With a little practice, he will become pretty easy to defeat.
Attacks :
Great Slash : The brush will turn pink when he will do this attack. He will be raising his brush over is head, and deal a 2-masks damage attack. To avoid it, simply dash back as soon as he raises his brush. Be careful to the drops of paint that will fall from the ceiling.
Paint Spear: The brush will turn yellow when he will do this attack. He will launch paint covering up to 80% of the arena. He usually rolls back when he will execute this attack, so when you see him roll be careful. When he begins to charge this attack, jump/double-jump in the air.
Paint Stomp: The brush will turn red when he will do this attack. Sheo will leap in the air and perform a ground pound splashing paint in 6 drops around him, 3 on each side. To dodge it, dash back to avoid get hit by him and be careful of the paint drops.
Paint Splash: The brush will turn blue when he will do this attack. He will raise his nail and throw 3 paint drops that will land at different distances from him. To dodge it, dash back and avoid the paint drop whether by moving around or by doing a Descending Dark next to Sheo when he will begin the attack.
Sheo will sometimes leaps in the air when you’re too high for him to reach you, or roll back to adjust his attack range, but these movements are easily sight-readables.||
Common wall w
Nuh uh
is there any place i can specifically fight him? i keep going through whole ||p2|| and just die
||hall of gods ||
||hall of gods, below where the pantheons are||
||he's in the hall of gods, under the pantheons||
Inexcusable snail
alrighrt
pretty sure ||sheo has no double damage attack||
||shaman stone, quick slash, spell twister, and grubsong||
Oops
Oh well blame the wall guy
i'll try it out. Thanks
Wall guy?
Wait no ||you get double damage if you get hit by the purple one when he actually hits it||
Right???
Wait actually?
Idk I'm having a dementia moment
as I said I'm pretty sure that's not the case
Dude who wrote the wall. Saryyx#8837
I haven't played the game in ages
the wiki also says nothing about it
Someone just test it already lmao
Bruh who on the HK discord hasnt played hk in forever smh
There is no ||double damage ||attack
if ur gonna help better be active
Ah ok
whats the difference?
whats in ||p2||
you don't need to be playing the game to help in this channel. Some regulars haven't even played the game
this needs tags
Second one does|| double damage|| and more hp
i'll just do ||ascended|| better practice
Dont reccomd this
Beat it normal first
some have new things like less floor
This but yes, ||acceded|| is good practice later
acceded
Tags?
what is there to tag
why'd i no hit it 2nd try when i couldnt beat it in ||p2||
i took off my ||charms n all and used 1 soul at a time||
pressure ig
||i am at 103% and i think i got "every thing" the game has to offer. ill just google the remaining 9%? i really cant think of other places to get the rest. people said pop and colo 3 isnt part of it. so maybe just do god home then. i still also need to finish nkg||
||colo 3 is a part of it||
while u should exlore and backtrack, if its getting too annoying and ur just bored, definetly do
||omgggggg. you can fight him? i love this guy!||
go to ||royal waterways|| with a ||simple key||
and explore there
wont tell the exact location, if u really wanna then u can google
||do you mean the big coffin? i unlocked it but havent done coz i was finishing charms and equipment||
ohh alright
u fight them there in one of the ||pantheons||
im pretty sure u fight almost every enemy there
i just finsihed both today so i only have ||colo,grimm,pop and godhome left||i think
gonna be fun
i hear alot of ||grimm and grimm troupe|| but i still dont know what they are lmao
im at like ||102%||
actually ||103%|| after completing this
dont spoil doe
also all ||soul vessel, masks||, charms and bosses count too, including ||some dream bosses, including some you've defeated before||
oops.||but its easier than godhome im pretty sure. and its more integrated to the base game even if you find it early. i wont spoil it if you dont wanna but its kinda easy to find||
omg. i forgot about those. i saw ||dream markoth|| when i was backtacking. maaan.
i am guessing ||i need to kill every dreamers for the dream no more ending|| i almost forgot that this was one of my goal after ||charms||
oh yeah. i also need to hear the final words of the ||seer||
im just guessing there. the plan was get ||2400 essence, hear seer and finally know what was the secret. im 200 off||
killing ||each dreamer adds 1%||, if you haven't yet
killed ||failed knight and lost kin|| i guess i really am backtracking again.lol
Which charms am I missing?
||get more grubs and go back to leg eater||
||search for a fake wall in peaks||
and search ||greenpath|| and ||crystal mines|| again
last one in ||deepnest||
Don't know the other two
Just got ||thorns||
Thanks for the pointers

u dont know how oblivious i am
when i went to ||fungal area|| i spent 20 mins roaming around but couldnt find any way to get past stuff
and then just left
like 6 hours later i realised i can ||pogo on the purple things||
well if you wanna know. its starts in the ||howling cliffs||
aight
bro
this guy just spammed and made me 2 hp
Watch spammer and millions of other Hollow Knight videos captured using Medal.
oh i didnt include another one
he did 3 in row
gotta redo it all cus of dat shi
you could try pogo hitting during that attack, while moving left and right continuously
u can pogo those things?
not the ||orange things||, the boss itself during that attack because its a difficult to predict when you are at a distance from it but if you look closely above it, the ||orange things oscillate between right and left||
alright
its a bit difficult to get, but at least its easier to predict
yeah
im trying to use my pro controler on the steam edition for some reason regardless if i use steam input or have native controler input on or off it still dosent do anything
@tropic nimbus Where did you change it in Steam?
||this thing is asking me to drop all my geo, does it give any reward ? what is its use||
You do get a reward
what reward
when i try to run 1221 the baldurs dont roll properly (they roll like a cm then stop rinse repeat) i think i heard somewhere that its related to fps not being capped or something. any helpers?
seriously 💀 ...... but ig i do need 1 shard to complete my 2nd set
There’s a worse ||shard|| in the game
you can see it in its hands, if you walk away to remove the inspect text
?
i didnt know it even though i played 200+ hours
in the hands of the ||statue above the fountain||
well you need all ||soul vessels|| for 112%
hmm, actually i was planning to do a ||shade skip|| cause idh double jump and i wanted to go to ||palace groudn|| but i would lose my geo, its really good investment then ig
Going for 112%
Dunno what to do next
Haven’t done ||collo 3, nkg, or any of the pantheon, or flower quest||
you could spend it for now and farm later, that is if you have 3k
wait this is a boss right ?
it's weak
alr thanks
but yea
XD it had a name tho
I don't suppose he's in ||godhome||
try killing the manderbug
the wa
I feel like I've done most of the game and then I open up some youtube videos and see a whole bunch of stuff I dunno
||2400 essence and completion of all masks remain||
for starters I have no idea what the ||wyrm|| is
thats a different one
wait this is definately a boss, the boss aura is easily visible
Where get essence?
yea he's decent
it is
he might even be hard most bosses seem easy after nine sols tho
Defeat || more dream bosses, they usually give the most essence, just by defeating all of them you get atleast ~2600 essence|| or ||whispering roots|| if you are running shorts on some
the game feels easy after ||p5||
|| do we get pins/markers on the map which show grub locations? idk where I missed grubs||
yes but you need to beat a boss first
some say ||p5|| is easier than the nine sols final boss
some would be wrong
some are def wrong
what do you call nine sols ?
wdym
you've experienced that fight yourself?
like obviously i find ||p5|| easier at this point because i've done it more but ||absrad|| took me multiple days to learn, ||eigong|| took a couple hours
a couple of hours? 😭
i didnt know it was another game i was thinking its some hk thing
I guess I'll have to do the ||pantheons|| myself to find out
Not yet, but I can already see the pain
Please edit your message and add spoiler tags
i died, ofc i didnt had any fighting build or healing build :/
it took me 4 days to beat her on ||hall of gods||
Same for you, could you spoiler tag your message
sorry i forgot
where is it?
||tower of love||
you need to get the ||love key|| from ||queen's gardens|| to access it though
ok bet
I forgot to go get the key
the boss is not that hard tbh
what is use of the charm that emits ||heroic odor|| is it just for display
||it does gradual damage to enemies in range of the aura||
thanks
||It also unlocks some interactions with NPC's||
||farticious aura||
what's hard is I dunno like 5 of the bugs at 1:56 in this: ||https://youtu.be/KVOjUNjqCTs?si=cciQA70VVm5hxEav||
Though most of Hallownest has fallen to the Infection, multiple characters remain who are not Infected. In this video, I take a look at each of the characters and speculate how they may have managed to remain uninfected.
decent ? i only died 2 times, i died 6 times against ||soul maste||r 😭
id say he was an easy boss
I found ||soul master|| easier
||although in the dreams I found soul tyrant harder||
WAIT i just got ||double jump|| letss gogog
yay more exploration options
Delicious
better if you have places ||marked on map||
what is RHOG supposed to mean
||radiant hall of gods||
This part
Ah I see
i ||dreamnailed|| this guy and now he became ||lost kin|| and this version is harder cause of random flying orange jellies coming out of everywhere
i have already died 4 times
How do I hide spoilers on my messages
🔹 Ensure Discord’s 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.
🔹 If you have sent an untagged message, you must either edit it to include spoiler tags or delete it.
How do you know his hp?
mods maybe
At least ||lost kin|| doesn't do the attack that ||bangs his head on the ground and release a crap ton of infected thingies||
he has 2 stages on 3rd he dies, i always get some hits after his 2nd stage so 20% is an assumption
as most bosses in games have stages at 30%-40% and 65-75%
I don't remember|| lost kin having stages at all||
Another day to be thankful for this thing
i mean he takes rest
like
his head up
maybe stage isnt the right word
phase ?
I think he is talking about stuns
That just means you|| hit him x amounts of times and has nothing to do with stages or hp||
isnt it you give him x amount of damage or take out x percent of his health
What|| nail|| do you have?
?
||channelled nail||
No|| 7 hit's <2 sec apart or 13hits >2 sec apart stuns him regardless of health||
damn, didnt know that
with mods, yes
Then you just gotta ||hit him 70 times or stun him ~ 7 times so you likely got him to ~60%||
💀 wtf
i was not even close
i just got 4 stuns this time
can you tell how close i was this time
It's a hard boss what did you expect lol
If you tell me your charm build and exctly what you did then I can calculate it lol
should i upgrade my nail before
i didnt use any charms
no strenght charms no spell charms
hello
Nah just use ||Ddark imo||
im currently doing ||path of pain||
Gl
You're on hk-help do you want help with your charm build?
it's hard
Why though?
What did you expect, the name is there for a reason
I know I have speedran it lol😎
well what part are you on
sry i meant to say i didnt use any spells
That is kinda common but it does nerf you a good bit
so the colours wont appear on tthe map is this a bug??
the charms i used : ||lifeblood heart, soul catcher. steal body and quick slash||
spoil alert
@sterile pawn
Not a bug a feature
it seems perceftly fine to me, wdym
If you want to ||fill in the map you need to
- have the quill
- sit at a bench||
also explore the area
||Quickslash|| is good
i sit on the bench still it doesnt get colured
If you haven’t bought the ||quill go back to dirthmouth|| to buy it, it is almost impossible to do without
ye i saw some top 5 ranking vids on yt and it appeared on 2-3 almost every vid
quill??
yes back from ||dirtmouth||
oh ok
@tropic nimbus What you can try is, go to your library. Right click Hollow Knight. Then the lowest option. Then Controller and turn on Steam inputs.
@sterile pawn can you give me advice, so should i go and upgrade my nail and return to this boss later ?
thx for the elp
Yeah it competes with ||shaman stone for the best charm in the game||
Why you covering dirtmouth you can't be here and not know dirtmouth
cause i m confident in my skills and i can't get 7 stuns
That boss is fully optional
i wanna do it
Feel free to come back when you are more ready
||Shaman, Strength and Quick Slash are universal S tiers. Grubsong, NMG, Steady Body and MoP are objectively S as well, but not everyone notices||
alr
Then do it what do you want me to tell you lol
im using ||steady body|| its great, paired with ||quick slash|| its free 5 hits on enemy
and paired with ||steady body||, it can probably go to 8
well, i've had same questions
That is a good option, yes. You could also use ||fragile strenght which basically works as a nail uppgrade||
Or use ||shaman and spam decending dark which gives you invincability frames aswell as dealing damage helping you stay a live and kill the boss at the same time||
The first three are above the rest though
Like ||strength is literally enough to upset the nail binding flat
That thing is broken and for as much as mark of pride helps it’s not that||
Try to use ||long nail|| so you can ||reach him more easily ||
i have tried that, but i didnt find that much useful
That's why they are ||universal, they are so good nobody can say they are not that good||
ah yes, my favorite charm, ||no major glitches||
wait || ihave descending dark|| it gives you invincibility frames 💀 ?
thats really good dthen
Basically the spoiler rules are to account for multiple discussions happening at the same time
And we had had people come in here asking for help without even buying the game
Thus the rule is to hide everything (which is also an easier rule to set than to allow half a billions terms)
||that's the reason it's the best spell lmao, look up for the famous chain||
Oh ok sorry then
Does anyone know if there is an active ||list of P5 hitless?||, I know there used to be one but it's discontinued, and I have a faint memory of seeing a modern one, but I don't know if it (my memory) is fake.
Fake my memory, mb lol
Thanks a lot though C:
BRO
I died to the ||kingsmoulds on the end of path of pain cuz I wasn't expecting them||
I'm upset
||this boss is very fun to fight, specially with the stuff she says lol, ADDIADASSS||
||SHAW 2.0||
||SHAW||
Also there's a funny little glitch, ||climb up the left wall of the arena and Cdash off above her||
what is ||cdash||
||crystal dash(super dash)||
alr
alr thanks
||Does it work even if you've beaten the boss?||
?
||Sadly no, it triggers because of the dialogue box at the start of the fight||
What does it do then
||The box stops your cdash, but for some reason you don't fall and you are stuck mid air until the fight starts||
Oh ok
||Only in White Palace (includes PoP) and The Radiance, anywhere else is safe||
U sure ?
Yes
LETSFUCKINGGOOOOOOOOOOO GAMER
Please spoiler tag your message
spoilers!
@stiff vapor , ||if you die in white palace or the radiance fight in steel soul you will lose your progress, just like in the overworld, but those are the only 2 places||
mb ||I BEAT PATH OF PAIN||
how do I get through here?
||every pantheon binding fills one notch ||
does that mean I have to ||beat P5?||
||if you count the notches there are 16||
||every pantheon has four bindings accessible so you don't have to do p5||
||HELL YEAH||
what happens if i give it? do i lose it forever
||she will do a capitalism by making it unbreakable and making you pay a lot of money to get it||
||She will also make you want to bleach your eyes and ears||
||you can still buy the fragile versions while she's holding the unbreakable versions ransom||
how much is alot of money
so i can stack it?
||15k||
||no, you can only buy the fragile version if you don't have the unbreakable version||
then i wont do that ig
when i have more money
||depends on if you really like strength and will be doing a lot of overworld (not in the dream world) bosses||
rn im doing ||pantheons|| only reason im at ||grimm is to unlock the 3rd one||
so ||dream world||
||ah, yeah, you can just use fragile charms in the dream world without them breaking on death||
There isn't really much else to use such a quantity of geo on
||basically, if death doesn't spawn a shade, it doesn't break your charms||
What arcane egg does guys
no point for me to get it rn ig
||the other two charms::P||
||Sell it||
why do i lowkey gotta ||raise grimm's child||
You don't have to
||neglectful parenting||
i wanna unlock ||p3||
Oh in that case
Then do it?
ik
Gl
what i get for ||raising this thing's child is betrayal||
What's ||p3||
aight bro
||pantheon 3||
whos our???
||starting from sisters of battle ||
bro did not pay child support
lemme check hol up
k
including them or nah
including
oh it that cuz of ||obblobbles|| right b4
YESH
i feel that lol
id reccomend looking up the order and equipping a ||charm build|| for each section
give me good|| charm|| builds like for each section
for example focus your ||charms|| for that section on ||sisters and oblobbles|| since they the only hard ones
tags on ||charm||
have u finished ||p5||
ok
noice
for example the section AFTER that ||steady body and shaman would be rlly good||
for that hmm
Ok
||soul masters free for u right||
what that supposed to mean
While we are on the topic ||Markoth||
||nail/nail arts for first phase, spells/dash slash for second||
Makes it less difficult
ye with ||gpz|| is tuff
Hmmm using ||Nail arts|| on controller sucks. At least with the default controls
Yeah but I also need that thumb to jump
Could also just ||pogo first phase, nails are still slow and one shield is easy to dodge||
I havent been able to figure out how to use ||nail arts|| effectively at all and im also on controller
use the tip of your thumb on Y and the rest of it on B (switch)
So I have to awkwardly use both button
just dont use spells in his second phase to keep ||soul|| then ||shriek when u can get both oblobbles|| try damage both the same amount so when theres one it doesnt have as much health. then u should be in a better position going into ||SOB|| which u should defo practice. its the type of boss where when u can do it you can do it
When one ||Oblobble dies the other gets extra health||. So don’t expect it to go down quick
from looking at the controls earlier, agree. could consider swapping ||attack with quick map or something, that way the controls of attack and quick cast are both mirrored from each other. (in case you maybe don't know, quick cast is better than focus to cast anyways as it doesn't need to check if you're holding the button to heal -> can fire faster as a result)||
(i am a keyboard player btw)
ye but the extra isnt tons
Still noticeable
well yeah its part of the design
but it still has less overall of u target both. u can choose to kill one quick and deal with 1 for a long time or stay on 2 for longer to kill the 1 faster. i always found both at once easier
Thought about it. But I know this will take me a while to get used to. Cuz I am really not good. Repetition is my key to succes.
when i was rebinding my controls in nine sols i just did another run from the start to ease myself into it
So any strategy which doesn’t require me to mess with how I use the controller is going to be easier and less frustrating.
that's why i moved my directional inputs from arrow keys to ijkl when i discovered a hardware issue with my keyboard
I had no issue with narts on standard controller controlls you just gotta be able to roll your thumb down on jump while holding nail
I’ve tried… and failed multiple times
You could bind another nail button if your playing on pc
Hmmm it seems that changing my controls is gonna be best guess
I have never used a n||ail art|| ingame in a practical scenario cuz I'm on controller
Playing on the shitbox
That way you have one for fart and one for nail
the what
Please edit your message with spoiler tags
I probably could
Ekkoet...
dawg
What?
How long have you been here
Oh I am stupid
I missed
I missed the a
Fixed it xD
I could bind it to LB because I don't think it does anything

as a keyboard player ... how is it possible to have one for ||nail art separate from attack||?
i see you edited that in a unique way
You make a hot key for c to press x
||Quick map|| useful for showing off::P
And glitches
I have used easy hot key (pc program) to make ecs closer and some other speedrunning quality of life stuff.
???
isn't it ||press attack -> nail swing, hold attack -> nail art, no way to get nail swing and nail art to have different keys from each other||???
They will function as the same button but you will use them for different things
oh yh I forgot about that
are there any buttons on controller that don't do anything
Lt I think
personally I've never used quick cast
ah, external program...
left trigger is ||dash|| dawg
Oh I which you could I would ||seperate focus from cast for faster heals||
changed my life fr
That’s Rt?
But I wouldn’t bind ||nail|| to that lol
Y doesn't do anything right
it is objectively better than using the focus button for it though, as it'll come out quicker
or if it does idk
Ohh yeah I forgor but like You don’t need that for the ||Pantheon’s||
On xbox ||dreamnail||
i wish you could do that so i don't accidentally ||fire a spell when i realized i picked a bad time to heal||
I FORGOT ABOUT ||DREAM NAIL||
RAH
I use an Xbox controller with my pc I might be sabotaging myself
I kinda wish ||focus/ cast was not one button and focus was just focus a quick cast was just cast.||
^^^
merging them into one button with the other split button is not an idea i will be taking for use with my own ideas
Anyway thanks for the answers byeeee::)
🫡
i found out how to replay ||path of pain || without mods
I am thankfull that ||quick cast exists though as hk combat would be way worse without it.||
Alt f4?
i mean if you already finished it

Its so frustrating
is there any way to unlock ||godseeker|| mode without doing anything?

||Storerooms|| yes
i can hop on my save and give you a ss if u want
Just get ||lumafly mod downloader and search for debug||

How to add spiler tags?

nail or spells?
I usually use ||d-dark||
