#

i dont think spoiler tagging spells is needed tbh

idle ginkgo
#

Ok

#

Thx

rustic sentinel
#

so wich one would you go a mage build or warrior?

#

i personally went with a nail one

#

since im not a big fan of spells

acoustic sigil
idle ginkgo
#

My build: Mark of pride+quckslash, shaman stone, longnail

runic hawk
rustic sentinel
#

you should prob get ||unbreakable strenght||

acoustic sigil
runic hawk
#

How do I put spoiler tag?

rustic sentinel
#

||

#

this

idle ginkgo
acoustic sigil
#

||like this||

runic hawk
#

Ok

fierce smelt
#

Shit ton of practice.
Punish all his moves
Learn heal timings.
Know when to get aggressive and when not to
Treat it like a dance and you'll be good

rustic sentinel
idle ginkgo
fierce smelt
#

Also I recommend sharp shadow but I get it if you wanna use the slot for smth else

rustic sentinel
#

for example you can get 1 heal in his stagger

#

2 if ur lucky

#

you can get 1 heal after his ||pillar attack || just be quick and heal instantly as the lat pillar spawns

#

im pretty sure you can also sneak one in right after he spawn the ||spikes from the ground ||

idle ginkgo
#

I could heal a lot in the 1st ||grimm|| fight

rustic sentinel
#

its the same in ||nkg || u js gotta be quick

#

thats it i think

hoary anvil
rustic sentinel
#

the ||flame pillar || attack and the spike attack

rustic sentinel
idle ginkgo
#

Thanks

rustic sentinel
#

but i wouldnt focus on how to heal in the fight if i were you

runic hawk
rustic sentinel
#

i'd reccomend trying to learn how to dodge and punish

idle ginkgo
#

Oh btw i forget about i should use ||grimmchild||

hoary anvil
#

i actually had better success with ||spacing myself to dodge the fireballs on sash uppercut and then healing, in addition to flame pillars ending ofc||

rustic sentinel
#

no

#

its useless

#

yh the ||flame pillars || are always a free heal

hoary anvil
rustic sentinel
#

ngl i think ||pure vessel || is harder than ||nkg ||

#

just my personal oppinion

#

had more trouble with him

runic hawk
#

Or u can just play it really passively it will take longer maybe like 5-10 min but no healing required

idle ginkgo
rustic sentinel
rustic sentinel
#

you gon need it

idle ginkgo
#

Thx it hard ik, but it is so epic

rustic sentinel
#

after i beat ||grimm v2 || i tought i could clap ||pure vessel || but i got humbled so quick..

rustic sentinel
#

too bad you can only fight it in ||godseeker || tbh

hoary anvil
rustic sentinel
#

also you wont have time to heal unless you stagger him

#

and thats 1 heal max

#

not to mention his attacks feel faster

idle ginkgo
#

Another question: how to dodge |||nkg's bats atack?||

rustic sentinel
#

jump over the first 2 ones and dash trough the rest

#

if you go too early he will tp away and spawn more

hoary anvil
rustic sentinel
#

ngl you made me wanna fight ||nkg || again

#

i havent played in a while

#

lets see if i get clapped

#

i only ever replayed ||path of pain || when i was bored

#

js dodge

#

tbh

#

wow that delete was fast

idle ginkgo
#

Thanks

hoary anvil
rustic sentinel
#

btw dragon heres the charm combination i use

idle ginkgo
#

I didn't do ||PoP|| i spared myself from the eternal suffering

rustic sentinel
#

im a masochist

#

i did it 3 times

hoary anvil
idle ginkgo
hoary anvil
rustic sentinel
#

ight im fighting ||grimm v2|| wish me luck

idle ginkgo
hoary anvil
rustic sentinel
#

almost hitless run :3

hoary anvil
# idle ginkgo ||shape of unn?|| why?

opens up a lot of healing opportunities, making surviving a lot easier. also means i can just not care about my health at some points before then healing it back

rustic sentinel
#

(ignore the 4 missing hearts)

idle ginkgo
rustic sentinel
#

tbh

#

if i were u dragon

#

i'd sacrifice a charm for quick focus

#

so you can pull of heals easier

rustic sentinel
idle ginkgo
#

I'll try it

rustic sentinel
#

i'll go fight ||pure vessel|| now

#

time to torture myself

#

dont even remember his attacks

#

im cooked

hoary anvil
rustic sentinel
#

the music is dope tho

idle ginkgo
rustic sentinel
#

yikes

#

got absolutely demolished

#

but i remember his attacks now

idle ginkgo
#

How to unlock ||pure vessel in godhome?||

rustic sentinel
#

#

ngl

rustic sentinel
#

dont click this if u dont want spoilers

#

im js doing it on ascended

#

idk why i never did ascended before

idle ginkgo
#

A real challange for a real challanger

weary moon
#

You need to beat him on Ascended to unlock radiant.

rustic sentinel
#

oh

#

ig ill beat him on ascended

#

and then try to no hit

weary moon
idle ginkgo
#

Did you try any modded boss?

idle ginkgo
weary moon
#

||Pale Court is done. Inferno King Grimm||

rustic sentinel
#

isnt ||inferno king grimm|| an even harder modded version of ||nkg||?

weary moon
#

Yes

rustic sentinel
#

#

ngl

idle ginkgo
idle ginkgo
weary moon
#

Next objective.

idle ginkgo
#

Btw the ||pale court is a realy great mod i think|| it can be easily in the game

weary moon
#

It is very hard, so idk.

idle ginkgo
#

Maybe if they make the difficulty of it lower....

rustic sentinel
#

weary moon
#

Nice

rustic sentinel
#

rustic sentinel
#

o hell na

#

zote is the one boss that genuinely annoys the f#ck out of me

#

i take what i said back

#

id rather fight ||absrad|| than him

idle ginkgo
#

The first time i encoutered him i didn't take him seariously.

rustic sentinel
#

the ||godhome|| zote boss is so annoying

#

it makes me wanna pluck my own eyeballs out

weary moon
#

Understandable he ended more then one ||p5|| run.

idle ginkgo
#

I killed him 2 times, and i had enough of him for the rest of my life

#

I call him g#y price zote

rustic sentinel
#

i genuinely wanna see zote on a steak

#

the bossfight annoys me but the npc even more so.

idle ginkgo
#

He is an egoist

rustic sentinel
#

bruh

#

why am i selling now

idle ginkgo
#

How tf has he more than 6k dialoges?

rustic sentinel
#

ngl my fav bossfight has to be ||sisters of battle|| its js so fun

#

tawny wasp
#

If your using a|| nail only build strength, mark of pride, quick slash, and fragile/unbreakable heart||

#

||Heart|| is a preference thing tho

tough shale
#

How the hell to survive ||hornet2||

foggy hedge
sharp veldt
#

Thanks i already am! But like actual tips would help a lot

foggy hedge
#

But in all seriousness, ||try breaking the spikes as they spawn in. Aside from them, it's just regular hornet. But if the spike isn't in your area of the arena, don't go out of your way to break it.||

sharp veldt
#

The ||spikes|| are the only thing that Arent an issue.

foggy hedge
sharp veldt
#

I said theyre the only thing

foggy hedge
#

Oh, my bad. I misread that.

#

Well, you can go on Youtube and see a video of someone else fighting. Not one of the videos where it breaks down the whole fight, just a no commentary fight. Seeing how people dodge moves can help.

sharp veldt
#

Ive watched fights plenty of times i cant learn like that

#

This is just actually impossible

#

Please if anyone has actual advice for not dying immediately id really really appreciate it!!!! ||Ddark|| is doing basically nothing for me so aside from that!

#

||I dont understand why but whenever i try to dodge Literally Anything she still somehow hones in on me||

hi, does anyone play hollow knight mobile? I need help with something, when I defeated the first dreamer, the moment I tried to absorb her using focus my screen went completely white and the game didn't progress, I tried to backup my save for several other apks but I couldn't absorb the damn soul

bro i hate these bosses who cant fight

imo, || charm bindings should've just reset the notch amount to default & restrict overcharm.. || since all the other ||bindings|| don't completely restrict us
or well , could've been a ||choice to completely charm bind or half charm bind||

#

but well, with the amount of masochistic people in this community . That might've been too boring

||yea i mean charm binding is certainly the hardest binding, but i think it offers a nice challenge for those skilled enough to tackle it||

||path of pain does not have any such paths. it is very linear||

pure lance
#

this is evil, new room but no bench

stoic cedar
#

||the entirety of path of pain doesnt even have a bench. are you mixing up white palace with path of pain?||

pure lance
#

yep ok

#

what's the ||path of pain then||

stoic cedar
#

||it is a secret area within white palace, it is the hardest platforming challenge in vanilla hollow knight.||

pure lance
#

oo

#

nice

#

so it's missable?

somber hill
#

uh no

#

yea

#

its optional

pure lance
#

is it in the first few rooms cuz I might have missed it

stoic cedar
#

||it is about halfway into white palace i would say||

somber hill
#

not from memory

pure lance
#

mm I'll keep an eye out

somber hill
#

it's quite hidden

#

but yea do that

#

like how did the 1st person to find it, do so?

#

well ok it's not that hidden

acoustic sigil

#

It's something positive but I don't want the entirety of hkmain to know it

pure lance

#

aw man

acoustic sigil
somber hill
pure lance
#

last set of spears I'm nervous

somber hill
#

u can do it!!!

#

also wdym by nervous

pure lance
#

I got speared

pure lance
somber hill
#

also u might wanna try something other than ||dash (spoiler)||

pure lance
#

I have my regular combat charms

somber hill
#

ok thats still fine tho

#

u can still make it tbh but its much harder

somber hill
pure lance
#

no wonder I couldn't find an opening

#

right I should be using ||joni's blessing since there isn't anything to heal with at this spot||

#

and maybe some movement stuff

#

||what if I use joni's blessing + hiveblood?||

#

ooo nice

stoic cedar
pure lance
#

ok maybe I should have thought of this earlier

stoic cedar
#

||hmmmm, im pretty sure its 24 seconds with jonis and 12 seconds normally. let me check the wiki real quick||

somber hill
#

^

#

u might've not had the other charm on

pure lance
#

nah it's hexagonal blue health

somber hill
#

nani

pure lance
#

but I think the combo is worth it for ||white palace||

somber hill
#

not usually

#

but is at least better with ||hiveblood||

pure lance
somber hill
#

but like

#

u might have not found the combos

#

so i wont spoil u

stoic cedar
somber hill
#

surely ||soul totem|| isn't going to get reported right

#

i dont think so dw

pure lance
#

whee I made it

somber hill
#

i was just thinking

#

gj grubomg

pure lance
#

why did ||hiveblood|| stop healing

stoic cedar
pure lance
somber hill
#

also i think it only does the ones || that were converted to lifeblood but not the ones gained from joni but idk where i saw that||

stoic cedar
# pure lance which ones

||can u show charm inventory, i need to see what charms u have, u might not have the necessary charms||

pure lance
stoic cedar
#

hmm u dont have the necessary charms

pure lance
#

😭

somber hill
#

ok yea ||hiveblood is the best u have rn||

pure lance
#

should I use the ||lifeblood charm instead of dashmaster||

somber hill
#

not imo

#

imo I'd get rid of ||lifeblood completely too||

pure lance
#

||does hiveblood heal all masks without joni's blessing?||

stoic cedar
somber hill
#

no but it does it's job quicker

pure lance
#

mm ig I'll drop joni

stoic cedar
#

||smth like hiveblood + grubsong could be quite nice, then u can use whatever other charms u want||

pure lance
#

mm yea

#

well I was stupid for not noticing one shortcut, could have saved a lot of time

#

okay so I ||cdashed thru a long thorny corridor and am now gonna fight a white knight||

#

hopefully I didn't miss the ||PoP||

#

nvm the knight is dead

silent glade
#

Gg

pure lance
#

there are a lot of ded knights

#

hm

#

welp

#

I think I missed the path

#

why is bro not moving

#

I'm hitting him

#

oo he ded

silent glade
#

Congratulations you killed a corpse

pure lance
#

imma sit ||on the throne||

#

awww I got teleported out before sitting

silent glade
#

D:

pure lance
#

ok nvm it's some lore

#

and I did get teleported

#

anything special happens if I sit on the throne?

silent glade
#

No

#

pure lance
#

pure lance
#

||something about a wyrm and some roots||

silent glade
pure lance
#

yep I got the ||kingsoul charm||

#

am using it, seems ok for ||pop||

silent glade
pure lance
#

ok the game is saying this is the harshest punishment

#

hmm

stoic cedar
# pure lance am using it, seems ok for ||pop||

||i would recommend hiveblood over kingsoul for path of pain, since there are a lot of infinite soul totems in path of pain anyways. and the soul regeneration from kingsoul is so slow anyways||

silent glade
#

it took me like 6 hours and then I fucked up at the end and had to start over again

pure lance
#

6 hours no resting spots

silent glade
#

could be faster for you

pure lance
#

how did you messup when ||kingsoul|| gives like infinite healing

stoic cedar
# pure lance 6 hours no resting spots

||there are respawn points within path of pain but no bench. if u die (or need to quit out of the game), u will respawn outside of path of pain and will have to redo sections of path of pain||

pure lance
#

I can see a shortcut above me

silent glade
silent glade
#

so gl

pure lance
#

ahh I fell after almost getting past the pasth above I suck already

silent glade
#

|| The first room is a bit long just so yk ||

pure lance
#

the thorn part is hard

#

did you take the path above?

silent glade
pure lance
#

wait oh

silent glade
#

It depends on your playstyle honestly

pure lance
#

the tunnel just has a totem tho hm I'm so confused

silent glade
#

Wait thats something different

#

nvm

pure lance
#

wow infinite soul totem?

stoic cedar
silent glade
#

you gotta take the path upwards to progress

pure lance
#

I keep dying at the thorns :D/

#

jeez accidentally bump into one ||flying dude and you get yeeted into the thorns||

silent glade
#

stoic cedar
#

Are you doing ||charm binding||??

broken lagoon
#

yeah

stoic cedar
#

damn, i guess ||two bindings at once was too hard||?

broken lagoon
#

it was inconsistent

#

i was getting to ||zote|| or dying to ||hive knight||

#

nothing in between

pure lance
#

guys If I still haven't progressed do I have skill issues

stoic cedar
broken lagoon
#

idk where even is ||path of pain|| and what it gives lmao

i went around and explored first cause i know i m not good

simple island
#

By the way, every time you use ||spells ||you should absolutely use the "||quick cast||" key and not the "focus" key
Using the correct key makes the ||spell|| activate like half a second earlier, which you don’t want to miss out on

broken lagoon
#

i'll do ||path of pain for now||

#

||p3 is giving me more pain||

well I can't really see how I can literally die at pop but figuratively YES

# pure lance this is cruel my nail didn't hit downwards and I died sigh...

by chance are you a keyboard user?

i know on some keyboards there's some issues with controls where pressing down certain key combos will cause inputs to get dropped/freeze. an example on my keyboard is space (where i rebound jump) + [up + left]/[down + right] will cause the 3rd input to be dropped and all future inputs (key press or release) to be ignored until after one of them is released, which caused me to move directional input over to ijkl.

pure lance
#

yep I am

#

idk my keyboard just seems to randomly not register the down key

#

except that it's fine

#

but that could be because I pressed doen and attack at the same time

#

okay yes

hoary anvil
# pure lance idk my keyboard just seems to randomly not register the down key

what are your keybinds? try pressing different combos of inputs in a controlled area to see if any particular input combos don't work properly.

i know on mine a test would be holding space (my jump) + down and then pressing right would cause my character to not move right, which could certainly be one to test

pure lance
#

you were right when I hold down+right and attack (while jumping) I slash sideways

#

😭

hoary anvil
#

did you also move jump over to spacebar?

pure lance
#

yep

#

and movement to awsd

#

attack-J
cast-k

hoary anvil
#

oh... wasd controls... interesting, don't know of any convenient one to change on that

pure lance
#

it happens when I press d before s hmm

knotty totem
#

Is this issue exclusive to keyboard? I’ve experienced this too but I chocked it up to me not position my joystick correctly

hoary anvil
hoary anvil
pure lance
#

s is for down cuz

#

ig I'll have to suffer a bit and make it thru somehow

hoary anvil
#

i would probably (eventually) try shifting keys over to find one where it doesn't occur, but there is the just playing around it (by stopping moving sideways before trying pogos)

i personally didn't figure it out until ||pv inconsistencies||, but in retrospect it did explain why the last part of ||pop|| was so much harder

pure lance
#

maybe I should try switching over to arrow keys, I used those for celeste

#

will be hard to forget muscle memory fleacrying

simple island
#

yeah thats an issue with more "low end" keyboards
usually keyboards have like regions that each only allow for like 3 inputs to be registered on that regionù

#

if you have too many keys, like movement + nail in the same region you can drop imputs

hoary anvil
#

(i personally had it occur with arrow keys + space, so i swapped arrow keys over to ijkl to avoid muscle memory issues for me)

simple island
#

you may be able to research what the regions for your specific keyboard are online

hoary anvil
#

i'll pull up my controls real quick, different keyboard will have it differently (my sister has one that's even worse)

simple island
#

and if you know them you may be able to adjust your keys well enough that you never run into issues

#

honestly muscle memory isn't as bad as you think it is

hoary anvil
#

(my controls)

hoary anvil
pure lance
#

ugh my fingers don't accept this

simple island
#

I have only played hk on controller before, I found myself with nothing but keyboard to play on, and after like 15 minutes I was able to play ok ish on keyboard
sometimes you do something stupid you never though you would ever do but, overall it disapears quickly

pure lance
hoary anvil
#

fair

knotty totem
pure lance
hoary anvil
#

if you need to get through the specific thing right now, then probably just keep in the problematic input combo in mind and avoid using it

simple island
#

considering you are changing which hand does what and not just like switching two keys over, its basically using a new peripheral

pure lance
#

that's sorta difficult in one particular place but I'll manage ig

simple island
#

not being able to consistently pogo is gonna come back to bite you in the ass later on

hoary anvil
#

(can confirm, it was biting me in the ass which caused me to realize what was going on and then forced me to go fix it)

pure lance
#

lemme try ijkl arrow keys are way too uncomfortable

simple island
#

(tbh arrow keys suck, you can use the hand on the arrow keys for anything else)

pure lance
#

I quit for today

#

I'm gonna read stuff

#

my brain can't compute what's going on now that contols have switched

sharp veldt
#

Muscle memory can take a while to change

broken lagoon
#

does ||path of pain|| have benches in middle?

#

or u gotta go through it all at once

tawny sapphire

No bench

Will it be a game over if I die during a ||dream fight|| on ||steel soul|| ?

silent glade

nope

#

It depends

#

Usually no

silent glade
#

|| except on rad ||

slim harness
#

||And white palace||

So normal ||dreams|| won't kill me ?

slim harness

ugh I didn’t realize this was help

#

Mb gang

Smh

stoic cedar

#

Also what'd be the easiest way for 100%

stoic cedar
slim harness
#

||why panhteons?||

#

||I’d probably skip flower quest|| tbh

stoic cedar
# knotty totem ||and white palace||

||that isnt a dream boss tho, i was talking about dream bosses specifically since thats what they were asking about. but yes this is another exception||

zealous sentinel
#

How much do ||pantheons|| give

knotty totem
#

||I did pantheons on my steelsoul cuz you can't die||

knotty totem
stoic cedar
#

||maybe first one or two pantheons are okay||

zealous sentinel
stoic cedar
knotty totem
#

the former

zealous sentinel
knotty totem
#

also ||excluding the fifth ::P||

zealous sentinel
#

Thank youu

#

I have a 4h save I have 16h to get 54%

#

||THK already dead so I won't have to worry about that||

stoic cedar
zealous sentinel
#

So I'll just have to get through it again, right ?

stoic cedar
#

||the achievement is given after the credits roll iirc, but u have to beat the game after getting 100%||

stoic cedar
knotty totem
stoic cedar
#

||easiest would just be the normal ending, yea. u can even skip out on white palace and be fine||

zealous sentinel
#

Oh how does ||radiance|| even show up in the fight ? I've only dealt with it in the ||pantheon||

knotty totem
#

wdym? ||Have you not fought Radiance yet?||

zealous sentinel
#

I have a 112% save and somehow never got ||radiance|| after fighting ||THK|| like 3 times

stoic cedar
zealous sentinel
#

Only in the ||pantheon or godhome||

knotty totem
#

alright

#

||fight THK and wait until you see dream particles||

zealous sentinel
#

Gonna be fun trying to get through the ||traitor lord|| again, always avoided that one

knotty totem
#

he's easy

#

you got ||shade cloak||

zealous sentinel
#

Yeah but still painn

knotty totem
#

Hmm maybe your strategy is not the easiest or the best...

zealous sentinel
#

Definitely not the best ;3

knotty totem
#

cuz like ||massive moss charger|| you can humiliate him

zealous sentinel
#

Achow is gonna show up w an essay

knotty totem
#

prolly gonna explain what attacks come when

stoic cedar
#

||traitor lord is one of the easier bosses for sure, u just gotta get in the rhythm of its attacks and dodge appropriately. u dont even need shade cloak to dodge his attacks, tho u may find that easier to dodge his attacks. u can also just jump and pogo his attacks, with some ddark usage, and itll be dead quite quickly.||

zealous sentinel
#

Tysmm

stoic cedar
#

||well, the only one u really do need shade cloak for is the shockwave attack, but technically that one could be ddarked as well||

knotty totem
#

btw ||does Traitor lord have to use the shockwave attack, I don't think I have fought him without seeing it. Even though I don't respect his privacy||

stoic cedar
#

||im pretty sure its just random chance when itll do that shockwave attack, its probably just a lower chance than the dive or dash attacks||

#

||i think traitor lord only starts doing the shockwave attack below a certain amount of hp tho, like around halfway through the fight i want to say||

knotty totem
#

||hmm I remember that Traitor Lords mantis claw attack only triggers when you're far away, thought the same applied to the shockwave attack||

stoic cedar
#

||the shockwave attack can still trigger if u r close by, traitor lord will just back up before ground pounding and sending the shockwaves in that case||

knotty totem
#

ohh so both apply
