Wanna 🧀?
||what gear|| you have?
||watcher knights|| werent rly that hard for me, ||dung defender|| was harder (tw: very unpopular opinion)
nothing good
not rly, i dont feel a need to kill him
i havent really done anything that isnt absolutely required
i kinda brute forced my way here
The ||essence is important for Radiance||
like i haven't even beaten ||mantis lords|| yet
why?
that boss can be really hard with bad equepment, id recommend at least ||nail2||, and ||descending dark||
this a good build?
You need ||1800|| you can do other bosses, but he's not the hardest
Yes
its decent
i do alr have it, i alr have ||kingsoul||
Ah, well, finish now lol
i have ||nail 3|| but idk what ||descending dark|| is
do you have ||desolate dive||?
is there a way to get this far WITHOUT having it??
ye
its the ||upgraded version|| of that
where are u in progression
makes sense. where do i go
Go for the ||next Ending||
uhh well then uhh its confusing ig
||left city of tears||
Nowhere near lol, this is just the beginning
That's the beauty of HK
so wdym next ending?
its in ||crystal peaks||, and while you are there you should also get the ||pale ore|| that is there if you havent yet (im assuming you have been to ||ancient basin||)
||There are 5 different ways to win, called endings with different cutscenes||
i've done all of that tho
how am i at 92% completion this feels unreal
That's the ||third ending||
wtf
So much stuff to do
there are ||5 endings + an after credit unlockable scene||
so i need to make another playtrough?
Nope, continue
also this is a random thing but i swear oml the songs ingame are different to on the soundtrack that cant just be me right
you can get ||all the endings on 1 file||
There are unexplored areas in your map, I know
oh
Strat there, you may stumble upon a new one even
just get ||descending dark|| than, it is in ||peaks||
and then i can go do more stuff and get 2nd ending
if you already have it, it shouldnt be that bad to do ||watchers||
Yes
im kinda lost ngl
do you have a ||white fragment||?
ah yes, ||i dreamnailed a black orb and fainted,|| i love this gamke
If you want a hint: ||it has to do with the Seer, the one that gave you the dream nail in the resting grounds, continue her questline||
Best cutscene 🔥
go explore more
just do it one area at a time
||pop|| tho
||aight i suppose crossroads is already explored||
the feeling when ||you realized how much of an improvement to movement white palace was||>>>
how many ||endings are there||??
4
||5 + post credit||
ok then im almost done with half 🙏
last 2 take as much as the gameplay before
lel
||Yeah, 2 and 3 are with what I know you just got after the 🔥 cutscene||
If you're wondering, the ||black ball was the egg you were born from||
||"What are we gonna fight the Sun?"
Sealed Vessel sounds. Yes||
||WHYS EVERYTHING DEALING 2 DAMAGE||
Oh oh
cause we in endgame
||the sun||
bro i hate that i get to ||radiance|| only like 50% of the time bc i die to ||hollow knight|| way too often
oop, thats quite a bad sign
not even gonna lie
||you will start no hitting the hollow knight by the time u beat radiance||
dw im diagnosed with a "skill issue" and "major overconfidence"
||i just cant seem to defeat sly, can anyone give me tips on how to defeat him||
Learn his patterns:
i have a vid for ||sly ||tactics, hold on lemme pull it up
1 sec
For example, ||if he does the double slash into cyclone, you can lure him into the wall, and just after the ball waljump away, and get free hits||
||i did but in his second phase its really hard to hit him so im stuck there||
||i used great slash alot
(i also "cheesed" it the first time with only doing damage with sharp shadow and using dash master to increase its damage but that takes 5 years)||
Ah, ||wait in the middle, if he goes to the center dash to make sure you don't get hit, even if he doesn't go into you, just make sure to dash back if he doesn't, then you can get either a hit, a great slash if you had it charged, and a shade soul, that can even triple hit||
my ||charm build is sharp shadow, unbreakable strength, quick slash and mark of pride|| is that good enough?
ok thanks thats a good idea
yea but ||sly does not have very much hp so if u use shamanstone u can blow him up||
||im not used to playing spells but ill try it out||
That's pretty solid, ||Sly is one of the fights I say SS is good||
I don't seem to have a video
thats alright! yall hav helped a ton
In the ||second phase|| i just use ||sharp shadow and dessending dark tbh||
its not perfect since i just made it for 1 of my friends who was dying to it in ||p5||, but it gets the job done
fight starts at around 30s
I skipped the whole video and went to the end
And for me, this is how I do it: minute 18:23
||https://youtu.be/WO1SUXnx_IA?si=_fQ6iUYYE6NTlaeT||
My second to last attemptat R5, which is the third time I got a 2 hit PB.
I expect maybe 2 or 3 months more after I finish my 1 month break :)
My strats are more advanced tho
you do 3 hits, i should start implementing that
What charms did you use
yo im lwk crashing out i always die on 1 specific attack how do i dodge ||the fucking homing balls||

||strength, quick slash, shaman stone, steady body and overcharmed mark of pride, that's what like a third of R5 builds are||
alright
you lure them
advice needed to fight ||hornet sentinel||. what charms should i use, what strats, should i do anything before fighting
istg im so close to killing ||radiance|| holy shit
If you have ||godhome dlc|| just practice the original ||hornet|| fight, they are pretty similar. If you could take on ||The Infected Vessel|| your probably fine
hello, all images of in-game content need to be spoilered as per channel rules

To answer your question, it's your ||dreamgate||, you placed it there.
See this message please

oh ty
I got the tag
Just please make sure to spoiler
|| absrad is killing me. Like every attack. I need help ||
||on what phase||
If it's every attack i cant help ya
||There are PHASE ?||
yeah ||like in normal Radiance||
||There are 3 formal phases and a total of 6 subphases||
|| 1 bro I'm cooked ||
||I saw a little bit of the gameplay but I didnt expect it to have phase too||
I dunno then, ||just use ddark if you know you cant dodge a certain attack, that's all i can say||
I mean what are you struggling with?
Watch some videos and see if you can copy those strats. Watch both high and sloppy gameplay because you can't do every advanced strat
|| consistently getting hits in while dodging all her attacks. Especially the orbs and the flying spears ||
If it’s just the speed

If you don’t know how to dodge learn her attack pattern
Or in other words 
||Orbs hater
||
So basically you find the easiest ones difficult to dodge
try to hit her more when shes doing the ||circular swords, and the beams||
|| the horizontal spears are so annoying bru 😭✌️ ||
what kind of ||swords? Those that come horizontally/vertically or those that come from her?||
Use ||spells|| a lot
|| I just told u ||
I know but i wanted to send that message cuz why not
||spells|| are optional on 1st phase honestly
||sword wall hater as well
||
also why did you tag "i just told you"
but how
That’s assuming first phase lasts more than 2 seconds
This is a video I made two years ago (damn it's old) I think it is ok strat wise if you want:
||https://youtu.be/O_diNzb8ibc?si=iPJpQReBqC4Qi0MJ||
That's it im subscribing
Based wtf
Note that this is insanely sloppy for my skill now lol
also, learning the tac to ||stay longer in air with wings|| it helps a lot
Ty you two btw
ma join you in that too
Literally, if i had to say one thing i hate about ||abs radiance|| i would say the ||radiant lasers|| that come from her, that's it
The rest of the fight is pretty chill
||climb phase|| is my worst fking nightmare
"CLIMB FOR YOUR DAMN LIFE CLIMB CLIMB"
i legit always get ||sniped, i only managed to get past it hitless once, the rest of the phases im consistent in||
That ||climb is awful wtf||
i always|| double jump then dash in the climb||
I'm so desperate to at least unlock ||absrad||
I died ||3 or 4 times to that phase while trying to do her radiant||
i lied, it was 4 times, but still
i did over 40
There are consistent strats that make it not too bad, it's the nerves lol
i started to get better at it by the end
Literally, on one of my atts in ||p5 she managed to hit me 3 times at the very climb START||
You're Kon right? I got the notification lol
You may catch me in stream next week
cant even regen masks
Im rob
ive been killed on platform 1 with full hp in|| p5||
....
and i use ||unbreakable heart||
Im the one who brings undertale content
Well, nope, someone else subbed lol
im Kon
wouldnt have guessed
lmao
Honestly, my last ||3 radiant modded bosses videos are really cool. I loved them tbch||
i had 30 subs, now they are 29. Who the hell unsubscribed
It’s not too bad
Some of those modded bosses are so cool
Me
I liked that 30
Send your YouTube
so sad i cant bring hollow knight content on my channel cause i'm on switch
I’ll subscribe
i got beef with it
Oh man
There's no record screen feature?
damn i gotta "flex" on yall, im in the triple digit club with 102 subs lmfaoo 💀 💀
Fair
I can screenshot, but cant rec
I got beef with ||final phase||
Also the rec would be of 30 secs
fair
Only time i used the rec feature was on dark souls 1 to record the "link the fire" ending
Do ||pogo or dash slash strats||
Both are basically free wins
That’s not why I hate it
i_dont_know9187
I died 3 times in a row on ||Radiant|| cause the platform was too small by like 5 pixels
and a total of 8 times there on ||Radiant||
Aight
damn, how many times did you die to|| climb||?
You guys choose, once I go back home, should I finish my ||radiant bosses|| playlist? It was an old project I just started, and it's cool to share as guides now, but I fear with my current skill they won't be good guides lol
So i'm the only one that finds ||gpz radiant|| harder than ||abs rad radiant||
Cool
Uh none lmao
That ||Absrad climb and final phase tho, I absolutely don't approve of them||
I died multiple times to ||Plats||
sure why not, sounds cool
||I got hit twice in an R5 attempt if it makes you feel any better|| (in the same run)
I like to spam ||ddark|| on her when i get the chance
ofc, you mostly die to ||plats|| if you are going for ||rad||
damn, i feel that
mustve been devistating
It was a 2 hit already I believe, but it was annoying
I like having low records
Even if it is like a 3
thats fair
i got 30 subs back
Eventually I got good so now I don’t get hit there that much anymore
in ||p5||, i normally take a hit or 2 there just to chase
If you want to see a devastating hit...
but ye, im somewhat consistent on that part now too
ye
||https://www.youtube.com/live/OBU4NaBhc_g?si=Gsh5VzxsycpTm7sF
32:25 Was an insanely lucky dodge
33:15 Absolute Rip (it was 1 hit to Markorh only||
And it was entirely my fault 😢
first phase ||easiest cuz thats where u die the most on attuned||
oh no
1 hit
fk man
2 hits, ||Markorh||
its not me, but im in pain
But it would have been a PB!!!
i mean 1 hit away from ||absrad||
Ah yeah
That's the worst part
It was all my fault tho, I could have easily not done that massive blunder, had plenty of time to correct myself before falling, and while falling too
I just froze
i fell twice in ||radiant absrad last phase||
1 time i misstimed the ||pogo a lilbit and an orb|| spawned in me
ye, but 2 out of the 3 was my skill issue
one of the times i fell was the typical ||dashed|| in the wrong direction bs
That happens way more often than it should
ik
Is there a proper way to warm up before ||pantheon 5||
||Generally to continue the story you want to move to the masks on your map. However there is no rush to continue the story at all. I would go to the top right of the map rn||
And you can get more ||spell upgrades||
How is that relevant to what they are asking
||Do a couple of pv + absrad battles or something||
||emmm, top right is resting grounds and I haven't found something yet||
||and how do I move the masks, and what are those?||
||crystal peek?||
Not move them, 'move to', aka go towards
And you'll see what they are when you get there
||I'm pretty sure I went to Distand Village exactly where the mask is and found nothing, just abandoned buildings.||
Then you missed something
||and a tribe that tried to kidnap me||
||Yeah inside the hut with the tribe was something more to find||
||so I need to explore that building?||
Among other things yes
Btw, is this game supposed to make the player lost, or basically make the travel from place to place in order to find a way forward to the story? Or am I just bad lol?
The story doesn't really take the frontseat at this point, you don't need to forward it for a long while
yes, that's very much the design of the game
Because yes feeling lost is normal and just exploring with no particular goal in mind is fine
That's how all metroidvania games are?
does anyone have any tips for ||radiance (SPECIFICALLY the homing balls)||
Take your time also ||shade dash through them||
I wonder who this guy is
yall how do i download path of a thousand tears, i only have scarab installed
Yeah lol, we had a chat about it like 15 minutes ago
no one gave me any tips 💔
Check the mod spreadsheet, it's somewhere, or ask in #modding-discussion
lead them towards u at first then jump over them
ive seen alot of people use ||sharp shadow|| but everyone on yt says its bad, is it good or bad cuz if its bad, why are so many people using it
alright, found what were you talking about. Any tips on defeating the big spiders with masks??
||It seems amazing for noobs, but the damage is useless, the reason it's good is the length, but not many people see it||
I personally think it’s really useful
Well, I helped another guy, I think that video I made has good enough strats
||cant do that if im in the air jumping over the 7000 swords||
wait for them to ||open up, hit them, dash away||
hmm cuz im seeing it on alot of nail builds, so I really cant get to making a nail build, I need tips
nail jump ig 🤷
where ||sharp shadow|| belongs:
||Strength, Quick slash, Mark of pride, steady body, Grubsong/nail master's glory. By far the best nail build||
sorry im not helpful 😂
Wtf is that tierlist
its peak
ik it looks like im ragebaiting, but that lists honest
||Shaman|| is not S, completely invalid. It's part of THE triad
Also ||steady body F?||
would u not replace the two one notch charms with ||longnail|| tho ?
||Grubsong B?||
cant nail jump ||on those balls||
fk that charm
Eh, ||SB+NMG/Grubsong is better, you have MoP already||
||Heart ||is a good replacement if you want
on the nails...
also love how you dont even mention ||heart ||being in S
I didn't see it...
Also ||Flukenest ||in F?
||NMG B?||
At least ||dream wielder is A||
its ranked based on my opinions on them, not overall greatness, that has been done by ppl who are much better and more valid than me
no but I personally really like ||MOP+longnail|| so ig ill try the build u sent and also with my modification and see which I like better
guys how do i get to ||the dreamer in fog canyon? i didn't get the map for it yet so i don't know where i can go like at all||
Ah ok, that's alright
get the map
once u do its obvious where to go
i can't
why ?
it's locked behind like a black beam
itd be quite a hot take to say that ||shamans|| objectively worse than ||heart||
atleast i think it's there
get ||dash upgrade||
||strength is wrong tho, should be next to qs||
how and where bruh
It'd be a hot take to say ||Shaman|| is not top 5 at all
||fury and mop|| tho, they are my beloved
just watch a guide, its quite a long process
Ah, you need one of 2 abilities you don't have
i take dmg anyways bc i land on another nail
idk man
just watch other ppl beat radiance... maybe that'll help
how would you know
how do i decrease my reaction time
fps games SUCK, all of them
nahh
name me one that doesnt
they are so cool, they make me tilt queue for 18hrs
none of them do if you are good (sadly im not)
they all suck no matter if im the worst player or the best player
i never heard shroud saying how all fps games suck, i wonder why....
Because otherwise you wouldn't be asking
Once you get them it will be obvious
it wasn't obvious
i had everything but i just never did the thing to get ||shade cloak||
have you been to the ||abyss|| than?
bru
have you beaten|||| hornet|| for the 2nd time?
in ||kingodm's edge?||
yes
yea
than look around in ||ancient basin||
why
i'm being genuine
cause you want to progress towards the ||upgraded dash||..
imma dip, this is pointless
Why does everyone hate ||sharp shadow 💔||
cause its fking useless
the dmg is negligable, and the distance is not needed in any fight
True but like what about using it in PoP
idk if they use it in ||pop|| speedruninning tbh
to the best of my memory they dont
cause of that one room where it can fk up cycles
guys do i need to fight ||uumuu to find the dreamer in fog canyon?||
yeah
||im consistently getting to phase 2 radiance now, buit she keeps destroying me||
painful
When you say ||phase two||, what exactly are you meaning
And would you like any tips?
DAMN IT ||I sat on a bench after getting the lifeblood and this is BEFORE PURE VESSEL||
It happens 
can someone tell me where does ||my ghost spawn in teacher's archives after defeating uumuu?||
||should just be at the entrance to uumuu's arena||
My luck is crazy, got to one hp from ||pure vessel|| and narrowly avoided a bunch of attacks
And thanks to that I can see ||absrad|| for my first time
Enjoy your death!
Yep I didn't even last a minute
||it seems i lost my grimchild charm becuase i took Brumm's path to banish the grimm, is there any possible way to get it back?||
No
nope, not in this save
But ||carefree melody|| is still pretty useful
||so there's no way to get salubra's blessing?||
what's that?
No you can, ||grimmchild|| just gets replaced with another charm
should i be fighting ||The Hollow Knight|| at 46% completion?
You still get a charm that replaces ||Grimm child||
Depends, if you have good ||nail upgrades, abilities, charms, and spell upgrades||
Np
i got all ||abilities||, and i got a few ||charms|| only
atleast i think i have all ||abilities||
Explore for more ||charms||
no
can someone help me with beating ||pure vessel||
and i guess ||p4|| for that matter
whats your charm loadout?
hold on
should probably ask them for their inventory not just ask them if they have it because if they dont its spoilers
True
||strength, quickslash, mark of pride, and unn||
Can I see a screen shot of your ||charms||
personally id replace ||unn|| with ||steady body and nailmaster’s glory||
i have all
You could either do what rain said or replace ||unn|| with ||unbreakable heart||
i dont do ||steady body||
ill try that
it pays off well if you get used to it
especially paired w/ ||quickslash||
Especially for bosses that are affected a lot by knockback too
but vessel’s suggestion is good too
ill try ||heart|| and if that doesnt work then ||steady body and nailmaster||
||nail arts|| are really useful against a lot of bosses as well
just not some extremely fast paced bosses like ||pure vessel||
Like that ||stupid moth with a dream shield||
||nail arts|| are damn near the only way to beat that guy best i can tell
consistently at least
Yeah I needed ||Nailmasters glory|| for that fight
actually i should probably get the last ||mask shard|| first
yeah absolutely
do you know where it is?
Is it the one that y||ou can’t take damage||
no clue
I have a feeling I know which one it is
which ones have you gotten so far?
i mean i cant remember all of them but ill try
Try exploring under ||resting grounds||
||goam, all sly, all grub i think, maulek||
i dont think ive gotten one there
Ooooooohhhhhhhh it’s the one
good luck 😭
the most painful ||mark shard||
WAIT
?
IS IT THE ||FLOWER||
Yeah
YEAH
im done for
just remember you can use the TRAMS
And try clearing the path to the ||grave|| without sitting on a bench
id spoiler that
do you have a good path?
relyea has a good video on it
Oh I meant to do that
how can I dodge ||nk bats||
||jump between the first two bats and dash through||
I got hit the last ||bat||
oh ||nkg?||
then ok
You prob did it too early or didn't jump high enough
Could js be ||grimm||
Dont forget the ||other stuff it does||
you have to try to ||wait a sec to jump, then stay in the air for a sec before you dash through||
at least for me
so he doesnt ||sidestep when you close in||
wait im confused, do the dlc's come preinsalled as I download the main game ? cuz I cant find them
I feel like there really is only one strat to it too
and you dont get hit
Preinstalled
I understand it now
ye
the “dlc” are basically just content updates
oh alr I thought I was missing something thx
Np
yea I got confused
worst ||radiant bosses||?
No idea
just want to know so i'm doing them
||markoth and absrad|| i guess
DEFINITELY ||OBBLOBLES||
I did all of them
W
Now
||gpz||?
||p5AB||
its not so bad
IT IS SO BAD
Depends
you could always try to do ||radiant pantheon runs||
For some people it's confusing but I got the hang of it pretty quickly
I literally am sturggling with him
hk bad game
For now i'm doing ||individual bindings|| so i get the lifeblood
thats a good idea
I'm not doing 16, just 8
Good game but difficult for me
i mean the 4th and 5th ||lifebloods|| are harder to get than ||p5||
so not really a point in getting them before you go for ||bindings|| on ||p5||
(i am not sure i agree with that take)
I probably would
at the very least the 5th one is
-# i got ||all lifeblood|| significantly before i successfully beat ||abs rad||, though it may have been what i practiced first -> the order i ended up starting them
even if the 4th isnt
i stand by the 5th not being easier than ||p5 ||
which are the holdups there?
normally you leave ||charm bindin||g and ||soul binding|| last,
so those on ||p3 and 4||
-# why use annoying text shader 😭 
small text? because it was meant to represent a small voice or smthn
spoiler tags? because the rules say so
and anyway, the only place that ||lifeblood|| actually helps with is ||markoth||
hmm ... for me, ||soul binding was just heal ~immediately if i take damage (+/- carving out a safe time to do it ofc) with quick focus/shape of unn. charm binding was the hardest though and so i just played less aggressive and focused more on preserving my health as i couldn't carve as many opportunities to heal against things like PV.||
Ngl ||lifeblood|| doesnt rly do anything outside of ||p5ab|| and a portion of ||p3ab||
They should've been more clear with the fact that you could get this lol
I got ||radhog|| before I even realized ||bindings|| were a thing
it really depends on how good you are at the things
I mean no not really because all of these challenges you're coming at without experience
that would explain why it wasn't useful for you - you already practiced yourself past the major point of it being needed
Obviously, but at minimum, it helps with ||p5||
||ab|| is much different from normal though
(yeah that's the main one)
||lifeblood|| is good all over the place but it's annoying to get
It's convenient in ||pantheon||
-# ||p3ab|| has dunked on me a few times. got the other ones bar the obvious.
||ab|| is just the normal game but harder and a single boss is unreasonably stupid
nice i got ||112%||
This is cool

this is fair
its useless in ||p5|| until ||bindings||
||3 of them gain difficulty, the rest just take way too much time||
Not sure where you're getting that mindset from
I mean it is literally, objectively, useful
It has a use
personal exp
incorrect: it can help lower skill players punch past specific things they struggle with (eg ||markoth||)
That's quite substantial
it does make it significantly faster if you are already quite good
Yeah the fact that it's right before ||tyrant markoth and vessel absrad|| is huge
to be fair ||the early sources of lifeblood are going to block hits that you easily would have healed back anyway, so you only get 5-10 hits that actually help||
I don't really care about that, it's good for new players, and I always recommend new players get a bit for ||p5||
outside of that, taking no hits on bosses is harder than beating ||absrad|| at the end once
which still is something
Which is why having a damage shield is good
Worst case for the ||tyrant markoth lifeblood|| you enter ||markoth|| on full health and higher soul
(ever tried itemless? can be fun)
Best case you have extra hp
yeah, thats why i said thats the only place its useful at
And ||absrad||
||pure vessel|| hitless is easier than ||absrad|| imo
At least for newer players
last i checked ||bindings|| aren't ||markoth||
One is less rng
And wdym, ||absrad|| is the easiest ||radiant|| 
if you can no hit ||absrad phase 1||, or only take 1 hit, you will most likely be fine anyway, and if you cant, than its the same as if you wouldve took dmg and just healed it up after ||sword rain||
like in what dimension?
This one
this is a wild take but okay
The other you can put so much space between you and the boss
And you can hit it with upslash while grounded
interesting perspective
Which increases your mobility while doing damage
Wdym
Also attacks overlap less in plats from my experience
I have been a long time proponent of the claim that ||phase 2 (phase 1 but with spike floors) is the hardest phase in absrad||
space doesnt matter, ||phase 1|| is insanely quick no matter the rng
Literally just ||facedance|| for like 5s and its over
They're similar hp
Phase 1 is just easier to play aggressive
is it possible to create a save backup? (like for example, say i wanted to get the ||void heart|| so that i can ||unlock the other 4 endings||, but i still want to be able to ||view the first ending||, could i make a backup for it)
ye, but chasing in ||platforms|| is eons harder
(this is coming from a ||shape of unn|| player so my takes can be considered nonstandard)
But phase 2 you can just stay in the middle, wait for her to arrive, then 2 cycle
So don't chase?
She comes to you if you wait
Nah that's based
Speedkill ftw 🔥 🔥
yes, depending on operating system. computer you can just go to the saves folder and copy the file. no idea on others but some it's impossible.
||does shape of unn go hard on absrad phases 1/2 or nah||
||overcharm with fury|| 🤑
like I could imagine it being useful to ||heal while dodging radial swords and beams||
||maybe sometimes during orbs||
better learn faster tactics and only have to go at it for a couple of seconds
Does ||qf unn|| outrun ||walls||
yep, this is very true
Oh yeah this reminds me healing in plats is way easier
tbf, if you really wanna you can heal quite a bit in ||absrad|| fight
that is true
and that is a good point
(fun fact: you can also fit under ||sword wall on the bottom center platform in plats|| with it, similar to ||mantis lords dash||)
there's even some consideration that ||deep focus|| is good in that fight
damn, thats funny af
Obv ||spore shroom|| solos
It's a little dumb
by that they meant meaningful damage
I tried it in my casual thinking it'd be a bunch of free damage
OH, to them in specific, not in general
good to know
-# (the only use for ||defender's crest|| that i know of is ||broken vessel+||)
honestly not that terrible with ||fury nail build||
interesting take
||discount is funny||

late game spoiler||also thk takes a lot of damage im pretty sure||
you can also get ||free egg||
||dcrest|| would unironically be meta on ||absrad|| if she wasn't immune
its only good in fights that are too short for good value in ||spells||
i could see that
i assume as a filler
Well yeah
But it's not awful damage if you're spending most of your time in her
Wow that sounded weird
Um
If i get to 1 mask with ||fury|| equipped, and then I get lifeblood, I'll still have ||fury activated||, right?
you could even use it with ||flukenest||
There isn't a better way to word that
W sentence
yes
Well unfortunately ||dcrest|| actually lowers the damage of its synergies
Which is insane to me
aware
But true
notable exception ||spore shroom||
I don't remember that synergy tbh
Is it just bigger
||nkg|| gave me a present
guess im a 🐌
(i think the ||flukenest|| one also doesn't benefit from ||shade soul||, which is wild)
no?
||shaman|| you mean?
no
unless i'm just misremembering
nahh, depression
iirc ||dcrest fluke + shaman increases damage tick rate -> total damage||
Did you finish ||pop||
Thank you for accidentally proving my point in the discussion we were having earlier !!!
How much % in total?
im at 109% rn
Lol
Start with ||cyclone and spam shriek||
Wait so what are you missing
Like ||a mask shard and seer or smth||
||https://hollowknight.wiki/w/Vengeful_Spirit
https://hollowknight.wiki/w/Shade_Soul
Flukenest + Dcrest = 3+1x23 = 26 for both. +Shaman for x29=32||
im done with allat, im doing ||nkg|| rn
If you have iframes when touching the floor spikes they despawn without doing damage, do use ||descending dark|| into them or walk into them right after being hit to disable them
||fluke wont help that much || imo
which one? ||entire floor phase? just the initial before spike floor?||
You could ||shriek durint pufferfish for higher dps|| 
i'm pointing out how bad it is
is there a specific spot where i could do that?
Oh mb
notable exception: base ||flukenest|| with the multi hit bug
So true So true
What's the topic about
||as soon as he inflates you have a flawless window||
aight
Otherwise its touhou type skill
So could I use it at those moments where Im jumping up to slash and and an attack comes in while Im in the air
I got you bro
just spam nail attacks
Not really what I was getting at but yes ||descending dark|| is effectively a get out of jail free card
easy, i did her like this
...that's uh, very useful
No I agree it's true
Nail hits are a pretty good way to do damage
Definitely top 10 best ways of damaging bosses
I mean most of the time I do the ||shriek|| I get caught
do i just spam it there?
Yeah i like to be omni man and go through bugs using ||sharp shadow||
Are you doing the ||radiant ver?||
Yeah the far left doesn't want you to know this but optimal nail attacks do basically the same dps as ||shriek||
You can tank, yes
i feel like the projectiles got deleted by ||shriek||
alright
is hit helth actually lower than ||normal grimm|| or am i just imagining it?
Its like||1500|| while normal is like ||1200|| idk
im cooked
I have ||0 radiants in HoG||💀
Just do ||gruz mother|| man
doing it gives you motivation
Wait now that I think about it
These wre easier ones but a win's a win 🏆
I haven't even tried ||radiant|| yet and I DID just beat ||NKG|| no hit on ||ascended|| so I kinda do
That's what i told him but he thinks he is cool
I only have ||44 radiant|| 😭 😭
||nkg|| might be hard but im harder
Guys whats the best build for ||GPZ||?
XD
So basically, the green ones are free. The red ones are destroying my mental health, and the orange ones are the "i dunno" ones
Is it spoilered
Yeah
Good cuz i didnt see the spoiler tag
fck it, ima rest my eyes are in great amount of pain rn
P-p-pain? Y-you mean...||p-Path of P-PAIN?||
i mainly use nails, but spells also works well, especially if you cast ||ss|| while he's running away
||zote's reciprocal||
or just do ||eternal ordeal|| if you dont want ||gpz||
I'd like to beat ||p3||
what are yalls high score in ||eternal ordeal|| btw?
I never tryed
ima do all ||ascended in hog|| before i try ||p3|| again
Around ||57||, I didnt see reason to try further than that
thats an insane amount of ||zote||
Thats where you get the reward lol
How do i beat ||radiant gpz||
Give up
||dd||
Hit run away, another hit run away, kill ||his clones|| then ||spam ddark|| hit run away then run away again but with ||vengeful spirit||?
classic ||get the reward|| and never try again method
whats the reward tho
||gold statue + special main menu screen for 57||
What ||charms|| do u recommet against ||gpz||?
aight, ima do that, im tired of ||nkg||
Yeah ||eternal ordeal|| is just that
||spell charms||
I love my ||zote loadingscreen||
Why does relyea make ||absrad|| look so easy
Banks are lowkey rlly useful
Especially in ||hk air||
You should ||max it out for a bigger, upgraded bank||
Genuinely one of the most useful features in the game
Real ones are penny pinchers
i need ||nkg|| to be in here ngl
I WAS SO CLOSE
It gets there intantly if you ||banish||
how am i gon do that?
||talk to brumm in deepnest and then go to where you summoned||
WARNING: doing this will cause a permanent inability to upgrade ||fragile -> unbreakable charms||
((make sure to do ^ first))
i alr have all of em tho
good
Wait
would i still get the ||maxed out pokemon||?
||gpz is actually easy||
Did you set up the date between ||divine and leg eater||
((it'll also go there if you ||defeat them normal, which doesn't lock out unbreakable charms||))
nahh
deserved
After getting to ||absrad|| once, about how many attempts at ||p5|| will it take to beat it if I practice ||absrad|| a bunch beforehand
||you get a die that can roll invincibility, probability of this happening grows as you take damage||
Go talk to him abt it
varies wildly from person to person
I dunno like 5
...5
Like 5-10, 1-3 if you can do it consecutively
Thats not an answerable question
no, ||banishment -> carefree melody, ritual (defeat nkg) -> max level grimmchild||
Not when I say about
Yes when you say about, i can ofcourse just make up some random number but thats not helpful
do i need to equip specific charm?
I'll be right back
||unbreakable ones||
Gotta lock in on ||zote||
for ||leg eater|| no
all?
But theres ||a bench right there anyways||
(you just need to have them iirc)
i forgot bros location
Is it worth doing ||absrad on ascended||
there is no way i clicked the ||ascended|| by mistake and did it no hit.
WHY ON ||ASCENDED|| I MANAGE TO DO IT AND ON ||RADIANT|| I DONT
WHAT'S WRONG WITH ||ZOTE||
The game is trolling you so hard
||probably more health cause in Radiant the boss get EVEN MORE health||
I cant.
he being creepy now
that's it i'm doing a full ||spell|| build
He wants to eat your legs
do i just go back up?
||Then came along the role reversal||
what do i do now?
In the endgame? 
Yeah?
Wdym
I don't even use ||spells|| in general
||spells|| don't really scale well in the endgame
They're really potent for a while but towards the end you buff your nail gear so hard
yeah, back to ||divine after talking to leg eater||
Like if you want to use ||spells|| you still need to use your nail
i just did
Dude you know i can get to that alone right?
?
How ||can i use spells if i have to hit the enemy with my nail to get souls||
That's why i'm using ||Quick slash and Mark of pride|| too
Well yeah?
forgot to tag
|| its based on a finite resource that you acquire mostly through your nail ofcourse you gotta lol ||
I'm a ||sharp shadow|| hater but sure yeah your build seems fine
It's goated
I don't mean to disrespect but are you trying to get at something here?
Like I can't tell sorry
do i just go back to ||leg eater|| now?
Yes, I dont understand what you were trying to say here #hk-help message
Oh I was getting at the fact that in the late game it's hard to build into ||spells|| without ending up with a mixed build
Because you have to hit your target with nail anyways so you want to buff that up otherwise it becomes hard to generate soul and eventually you get hit and it's not a good time
Ic, i guess that makes sense yeah
i think bro died
||What are ddark's invincibility seconds||
he has transcended 🙏
You want an exact number ?
It's crucial information anyways
Yup
bro is not ||leg eater||
0.4 iirc
I have no idea why you would need that but I think the wiki has them, let me check
Please say I'm right azer 🙏
||more like legs eaten||-hahaha, im so funny
.4 according to wiki indeed
That's a lot
how exactly do I go there?
It is a lot
Very important thing is that they get cut short if you do another one
Not enough tho
Doth thy have wings?
From below
You may not be able to reach it yet though
You probably can't yet
the part that you have not at all explored in ||city||
It should be like ||10 seconds|| tbh
||I can't?||
he can see the s||piral low room and has kings||
Listen to the others
Do you have wings?
no
Do you have crystal heart?
- make sure to use spoiler tags for everything in game
- second off we try to not spoil people unnecessary, and here, if you guided them to the right place, they would have figured out on their own whether or not they can go there, if they can’t then they can’t, you don’t need to tell them what to get, it isn’t the goal of the channel
what's that?
Go to crystal peaks, my friend.
Oh my god
Im dying from the inside
It's OK if people needing help don't read the rules
xd
Don’t be rude though
so I go to ||Crystal Peak?||
ye
But yeah… please use spoiler tags, and take a look at the rules 
There are a lot of ways to progress, that is one of those ways
Nah it's too ||peak|| for ya
Oh shoot-
Sorry, I forgot what server I was in for a second
That's what ||gpz radiant|| does to a person
I apologise
Is in 7 different Hollow Knight discord servers, each with different rules
i cant find ||brumm|| anywhere
BUT THEN ||ZOTE JUST SAYS: "nah, lemme throw things at you"||
look in ||distant willage||
Uh, how far have you gotten with the ||Grimm Troup||
i alr did
i got all the ||grimm fire thing||
not the ||cocoon that is beast den||, but another enterable one
yeh, hes not there
Did you fight ||Regular Grimm||?
have you already killed ||nkg||?
This ||upgrades the charm||, so no
I DID IT
nah, but i alr killed ||normal grimm||
right, i forgor
OF PAIN
Was he ||In deepnest?||
If you have ||grimmchild equipped you will find brumm in distant village||
He is in the lower of the two rooms
if hes not there he is eighter ||in tent, or in the torch room||
wdym?
Have you been in ||Deepnest|| before?
yeh
||Brumm is pretty binary
You see them in deepnest by having grimmchild equipped and going to the lower of the two cocoons (his flame doesn’t show up after you collect the other 3)
Then you meet him again where he tells you to be||
Alright, I went to ||Crystal Peak, but there is a problem. All the areas I haven't explored yet need double jump? and I don't have that yet||
Alright, equip ||grimmchild||, and you should see a ||Grimmkin flame|| pop up in ||deepnest||.
there arent many states ||brumm can be in, hes eighter in distant village lower left cocoon, grimms tent, dirthmouth bench, torch room||
There should be a path still
It is rather obtuse but there is
i didnt equip ||grimmchild|| 
Do you have ||Ddive?||
ohh, and just gone, after ||nkg||
(That isn’t relevant ?)
yes
i didnt know 
You can enter ||peaks|| with just ||lantern||
lel, well, now you do
map right now
And ? ||Dive isn’t needed for much in peaks||
Whut ? You have ||crystal dash lol||
You don’t need ||wings|| for ||C-heart||, just explore around a lot more. Do you mind showing me your map of ||peaks||?
I already showed it just above
That's so ||peak||
he said "meet me to where it began" do i go to his first spot or back to literally where it all started?
Ok, I don’t know what you are asking, but after you get ||crystal heart basically everything is open
So go wherever you want and you will end up finding the few abilities you have left||
Show your inventory please. Marked spoiler obviously.
And you have ||crystal heart ||
ye, its|| torch room||
