hk-help

[turbid beacon]

you could just farm ||colo2||....

[thick wing]

i WOULD play hk on 4:3 if i had steam launch options, except i kinda didn't get the game as intended, i'm saving up money to buy it soon so for now i'll do with other ways of playing the game, i was trying to get it for months i was like actually hooked

[spice arrow]

i did say partly

[turbid beacon]

4:3 is NOT a good thing

[thick wing]

i wish there was a way to play hk on 4:3 without having to use steam launch options since i can't do that at all

[thick wing]

i play everything on 4:3

[turbid beacon]

god

[thick wing]

i prefer it and it gives more performance

[turbid beacon]

yo hollow knight can work on a toaster

[thick wing]

i'm kinda running on a low end laptop

[dusky sonnet]

Ngl first time I fought ||mantis lords|| took me a bunch of tries and I didn't know what I would get the amount of traveling I had to do for the a prize I couldn't even rly use at that time

[thick wing]

you know any way to play hk in 4:3

[dusky sonnet]

Soo if u want u could just come back ltr

[turbid beacon]

lets ignore the 4:3 thing now

can i see the left side of your charms?

[thick wing]

i've been asking about how to play on 4:3 since yesterday 😭

[thick wing]

what left side huh

[turbid beacon]

when you recorded i only saw the right side of your charms list

[thorny python]

I am at the ||mantis lords fight and I try to heal when she does the ring attack but I can't get it off that quickly and need to doge. I also keep hitting her for a long time but can't get the phase 2. ||

[turbid beacon]

do you heal on the right ||ring attack||?

there are two ||ring attacks||

[ebon copper]

belive in yourself, youve got this!

[turbid beacon]

nothing changed

[thick wing]

no i showed you my left charms

is this better

[turbid beacon]

uh those arent charms

[thick wing]

huh

i only have these current charms i showed you

i have no idea about what left charms are

[turbid beacon]

screenshot the first thing like menu you recorded

[turbid beacon]

finally

oh my god

damn you have nonthing

anyways

[thick wing]

yeah no shit i don't know much about the game i'm 7hrs into my first playthrough

[turbid beacon]

||soul catcher, stalwart shell, and wayward compass to fill in the last slot||

[dusky sonnet]

That's the neat part u can't heal at that time u just have to push threw id recommend using the ||spell|| that u have since it does 3x ur nail damage use it whenever u can

[solid heart]

||remove compass, you don't need it now, use catcher and whatever other charm you like best||

[turbid beacon]

uh there is one attack when you can heal

[fresh wedge]

||How many times do I have to defeat zote? 5 for some new screen intro?||

[dusky sonnet]

Idk I haven't fought them in awhile soo idk

[fresh wedge]

Im actually not sure I want to get it

[turbid beacon]

uh 10

[dusky sonnet]

10

[thorny python]

hoe many || of the spells do I need to cast to get to the second phase||

[turbid beacon]

snail this bitch

[dusky sonnet]

Idk just use however much u can

If u can't get past the first phase good luck on the 2nd one it's 2x as hard

Literally

[thick wing]

||stalwart is 2 notches||

[solid heart]

||First gives essence and changes Bretta's dialogues and diary
Third changes again
Forth makes her leave
Tenth becomes gold||

[thorny python]

when is the best time to|| cast them since when I do she teleports away||

[turbid beacon]

nah 2nd phase is peak

[dusky sonnet]

True my best 2 fights are either ||mantis lords or NKG||

[fresh wedge]

||I don't want Breta to leave. Will she found elsewhere?||

[turbid beacon]

yeah? 2 ||stalwart|| and 2 ||soul catcher||

[dusky sonnet]

Uhh when she dashes across the floor u can use the spell on her

[solid heart]

Nope, but it's part of her story

[turbid beacon]

wait im blind i thought you had 5 slots

[fresh wedge]

okay then

[thorny python]

||No her attacks aren't bad I find them easier than hornets, like her they are fast that's all||

[thick wing]

blawg,,..

[turbid beacon]

the fuck is a blawg

is that the new slang

[dusky sonnet]

Get to the 2nd phase and u will understand

[dusky sonnet]

New lang coming out daily

[karmic glade]

i very dont got this but alright

[turbid beacon]

you are filled with determination

[thorny python]

oh ok, since what I do is|| when she goes on the higher part of the wall I dosge then heal||

[solid heart]

Ah, the ||screen background is unlocked by killing 57 Zotes in the eternal ordeal, not in GPZ||

[turbid beacon]

there are two attacks were they go up the wall

which are you talking about

there's like one that's a criss cross and one that like

idk

[fresh wedge]

||What is the gpz?||

[turbid beacon]

spoiler

thats a spoiler

[thick wing]

NO

NO

NON

I JUST LOST 1.3K GEO

[solid heart]

The boss you're fighting

[thick wing]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[turbid beacon]

womp womp skill issue

jk

[thick wing]

fuck you.

[turbid beacon]

hey

[radiant raft]

[turbid beacon]

i said jk

other people wont

[dusky sonnet]

If u are low I'd recommend heal if u only got hit like once I'd recommend going for more damage since the faster u end it the better

[fresh wedge]

thx!

[dusky sonnet]

Thankfully I still haven't fought ||ZOTE||

Maybe ltr

Idk

[turbid beacon]

i forgor to save him

[dusky sonnet]

Sure ya did

[turbid beacon]

that 60 geo could've came in useful

[thick wing]

STILL 😭

[solid heart]

You missed the second best boss ):

[thick wing]

THAT'S 2 HOURS WORTH OF GEO GONE 😭

I HATE MANTISES

[turbid beacon]

second best boss my ass

[turbid beacon]

they are great

you're the one in the wrong

imagine not even being able to kill a ||mantis||

[thorny python]

yeah that's what i do

[turbid beacon]

HEY THATS NOT A SPOILER

[radiant raft]

Stupid fucking AI.

[turbid beacon]

yeah

[manic abyss]

It sucks

[turbid beacon]

calls anything a spoiler

[thick wing]

blawg i fell into a pit and got comboed by multiple

[turbid beacon]

when is silksong

[thick wing]

how is that fair

how just HOW is that fair

[manic abyss]

Yes

[radiant raft]

Like June or something.

[thick wing]

silksong in gay month

[manic abyss]

All they said was 2025

[thick wing]

awesomesauce

[manic abyss]

Not anymore

[dusky sonnet]

Ye December 29th

Xbox said it would come out in 2022

Look at where we at now

[turbid beacon]

game design™

[solid heart]

Yes, the spoiler of the century

[turbid beacon]

thats deltarune

[manic abyss]

Deltarune tomorrow comes true on June 4th

[turbid beacon]

i started deltarune like yesterday

since im obsessed with undertale

[manic abyss]

It’s fun

Both are great games with amazing ost

[thick wing]

"the game gets exponentially harder". i see.

[manic abyss]

It’s not to hard after you get used to it

[turbid beacon]

why are you healing literally each turn

why are you recording your gameplay

[thorny python]

||heal when they throw two of the swords just stall the rest||

[manic abyss]

I had trouble with ||Mantis Lords|| too

[turbid beacon]

are you making a youtube video

[spice arrow]

grrrrr

[turbid beacon]

hk lets plays no longer do well

[manic abyss]

Omg I hated ||colo 3||

[dusky sonnet]

Same

[dusky sonnet]

Once u get used to the mechanics it becomes wayy easier

[fresh wedge]

||What is it she is looking fro?||

[acoustic sigil]

||Fragile charms||

[thick wing]

gg first one

[fresh wedge]

||BUt they wil break ;/||

[acoustic sigil]

How do you know what she will do with them

[thick wing]

died immediately but they do seem to just have the same moveset albeit they both execute attacks at a similar pace

[round kayak]

||Do I get anything from him beside dialouge and lore content ?||

[solid heart]

No

[thorny python]

If I want to ||come back later to the mantis lords where do I go. ||

[solid heart]

Why not?

[dim mantle]

Guys why is my world contamined

[manic abyss]

||infected crossroads||

[acoustic sigil]

Please edit your message with spoiler tags

[sudden lintel]

Literally beat this 7th try iirc

[dim mantle]

Sorry

[dim mantle]

Yeah

[round kayak]

||You probably killed a dreamer (did I get that right ?)||

[dim mantle]

Yeap

[acoustic sigil]

||There are more possible sources but this is one of them yes||

[manic abyss]

You either ||killed a dreemur or broken vessel||

[round kayak]

That explains it

[dim mantle]

Yeah

[round kayak]

True

[dim mantle]

How to do the spoiler tags

[acoustic sigil]

||like this||

[round kayak]

use ||

[manic abyss]

Like that

[round kayak]

at the beginning and at the end of your sentence or words

[dim mantle]

Ok

[spice arrow]

i really am a fool WHY AM I DOING THIS

[round kayak]

You could also use /spoiler

[thick wing]

thats a bit better,,

[fresh wedge]

||What is that shiny thing on the map?||

[solid heart]

||your dreamgate||

[fresh wedge]

oh

lol

[sinful thistle]

|| I was practicing absrad in the hall of gods and the void started rising in the platform phase and covered the screen making me take constant damage until I died. What the hell? ||

[fresh wedge]

ty

[solid heart]

Oh, the 1.4.3.2 glitch

Are you in console?

[sinful thistle]

Yea

[thick wing]

doesn't seem to be any healing windows but tbh this phase is pretty easily nohittable i feel

[solid heart]

They should have updated

[stoic cedar]

This is usually caused by going too high up while in the ||platform phase||, just don’t go super high

[solid heart]

||That version has a glitch where if you go too high up during the platform phase you hit the trigger that would make the void rise in the climb||

[ebon copper]

there anyway isnt really a reason to go very hight in that fight

[solid heart]

||The double disk attack, you can heal if you stand in the middle, if they do close it's harder, but a far is much easier||

[thick wing]

can't tell when they do which that's the issue

[fresh wedge]

||What's going to happen to Quirrel? 😭 ||

[solid heart]

||Just try and if it's close cancel if you feel you started late||

The penalty for canceling is not that bad

[ebon copper]

you can heal in the normal attacks too (only if you can start it a few frames after they do the attack)

[solid heart]

Alternatively ||baldur shell exists||

I know you have it

[fresh wedge]

||What is the point of conintueing playing??!!||

[solid heart]

Come back and see what's there, and remember the first thing he told you

[stoic cedar]

Uhh im sure he’s just gonna go for a quick walk, that’s all 💀

[solid heart]

It all comes full circle

[fresh wedge]

I don't remember 😭

[solid heart]

Of course you don't lol

[fresh wedge]

that's ages ago when I first met him I cannot remember that long

[thick wing]

i keep zoning out midfight for like split seconds

[solid heart]

Yep, ||"To persevere in this ruin, that old nail alone just won't be enough. Though that's no problem! One only has to look around.
Plenty have come before us and most have met their grisly end, many more equipped than you and I."
If he left his nail behind...||

[hoary anvil]

as a note, have you considered ||slashing down (pogo)||?
you can catch them ||during the dash|| with it
-# it also works on the ||spinning disks to bounce off of them||

[fresh wedge]

||He left the nail||

||can I equip it?||

[jade sedge]

Dont mind me

Upvote

[thick wing]

coolest fucking bossfight ever hello???

[hoary anvil]

-# the tip turned out unnecessary

[keen stream]

im ready for ||p4||

[sudden lintel]

Why not do ||p5 hitless||

./j

[keen stream]

i cant even do it in ||p1||

[sudden lintel]

Sad

[keen stream]

i know

[tepid meadow]

||did you beat bosses on ascended including the pv||

[keen stream]

i didnt do ||ascended pv|| but i killed him 4 times now

[tepid meadow]

ok

should be enough tho

[thick wing]

i might be screwed

[keen stream]

nahh

[thick wing]

well what else can i do

[turbid beacon]

wait how do you zone out during a fight?

is there already not enough dopamine

[thick wing]

brainfart

boss blends in with background

my eyes blur

a slight bit

[turbid beacon]

get glasses

[thick wing]

my brain jsut turns off for a split second

[turbid beacon]

they help a ton

[thick wing]

and uh

i get hit

[thick wing]

i've never had any issues with my vision its just that SOMETIMES my eyes unfocus subconsciously

[turbid beacon]

hmm

[thick wing]

i can unfocus my eyes on command

bit of a habit

[turbid beacon]

then stop unfocusing them

if you command them

then stop

[thick wing]

said it was a habit

[turbid beacon]

break that habit

[thick wing]

if i wanted to rn i could unfocus them, i try not to but as i said it became somewhat of a habit which means it plays into the subconscious

[turbid beacon]

i one day broke the habit of using the cold water during a shower

[thick wing]

it's not that easy

[thick wing]

first of all the fact you can endure cold water is insane, only had those like 5 times in the last year and were the only times i did have cold showers
second how was it even a habit

actually let's not this is the help channel uh

[thick wing]

I MIGHT be in need of help

[turbid beacon]

only help i can give you is to leave

[turbid beacon]

idk i hated using warm water

but one day i guess i adapted

[hoary anvil]

...this is certainly a conversation

[thick wing]

how do i leave

[hoary anvil]

very easily. often for me it's the brain locking onto/predicting a specific thing and going tunnel vision, then the other possible outcome occurs.

[turbid beacon]

uhh you leave?

if you didnt bench just save and quit

[hoary anvil]

let's see ... you went ||down a hole that you can't jump out of||, right?

[turbid beacon]

the game automatically saves

[thick wing]

oh shit mb leaves

thats really useful actually

[thick wing]

YUP

[turbid beacon]

yeah a bench just updates your map and sets your checkpoint there

by checkpoint i just mean if you die you respawn there

[hoary anvil]

you can do save and quit, or you can do the intended way of ||going all the way down, and then all the way back up to grab something to either use that to leave or a shortcut back to the top that's nearby||

[thick wing]

i know i've played other games before

[turbid beacon]

you don't sound like you know what you're doing

[thick wing]

i love how the ||mantises kneel down to you after defeating the lords, like it's so cool||

[thick wing]

i'm sorry this is my first time playing hk

[hoary anvil]

after all, other games =/= hollow knight

[turbid beacon]

yeah you defeated the big boss of course they will

[hoary anvil]

-# "of course they will" makes it sound like it's something to be expected, which if you didn't already know it from before it's not something you would necessarily expect

[turbid beacon]

my heart rate is so high when i fight bosses i don't even try to predict outcomes i just deal with the current outcome

[thick wing]

yup

[turbid beacon]

uhh ok

[hoary anvil]

...you don't "try" to predict it, you just end up having brain's autopilot do that

-# and often enough it ends up right because it was picking up on a pattern subconsciously

[turbid beacon]

brains sound complex

[thick wing]

hmm? hole?

[keen stream]

missing pieces

[hoary anvil]

looks like you quit out, that's where the ||shortcut back to the top from the other side|| is

[turbid beacon]

oh you're a shit

the admin said i don't have to spoiler tag it

[radiant raft]

Fuck. You.

[hoary anvil]

huh, that sure seems like a bug

[turbid beacon]

this ai doesn't contain the word i

get it

cause like

[keen stream]

LES GOOOOO

[turbid beacon]

gg

[keen stream]

i think my time is too slow tho

[turbid beacon]

nah its good

||p5|| gonna cook you up in an air fryer

[keen stream]

i know...

i can feel it in my balls

[turbid beacon]

AYO WHAT DA FUC

map

man this ai really hates that word huh

[acoustic sigil]

Yes the list has not changed in the past 3 seconds

It's not an AI

[radiant raft]

I am going to throw this things mainframe into a river

[turbid beacon]

i guess its just a bot that detects whether a certain word has been sent

but still

[hoary anvil]

i'm just going to test the entire allowed words list real quick and see which ones it flags

[turbid beacon]

the pinned message literally said

i can say the word ||mask||

[radiant raft]

Nothing else. It. Hates. That. One. Word.

Geo.

[turbid beacon]

shop

[radiant raft]

Nail.

[turbid beacon]

boss

[radiant raft]

Map.

[turbid beacon]

charms

[radiant raft]

Charm.

[hoary anvil]

you don't need to test them all individually

[turbid beacon]

focus

soul

[crystal tide]

LMAO

[hoary anvil]

you can test them all in one message like i did

[crystal tide]

I added that ||mask|| word recently

[turbid beacon]

man this bot really hates cosplaying huh

[radiant raft]

Mods please remove this stupid ass bot.

[turbid beacon]

why

[hoary anvil]

-# please keep and fix the bot

[radiant raft]

I already did it only flags that one word.

[hoary anvil]

wonder if multiline issue is still a thing

||mask
mask||

[crystal tide]

i added ||mask shards|| and felt like ||mask necessary||

[hoary anvil]

||- mask

• mask||

[crystal tide]

probably should get rid of the bot yeah

good idea

[turbid beacon]

well the pinned message said i can say that word

[hoary anvil]

nice, multiline bug seems fixed 🦀

[crystal tide]

gonna fix it rn

[acoustic sigil]

KarK do you want us making pull requests or is just pinging you easier?

[crystal tide]

whatever you like

ping/dm/modmail

[turbid beacon]

bro

[crystal tide]

wait a little bit

[turbid beacon]

horf stop

[keen stream]

i jus realized i can tickle ||radiance||

[turbid beacon]

you are drake

[hoary anvil]

breaking news: the bot has not been updated in the past three seconds

[turbid beacon]

i call bs

[keen stream]

its the ||black tendrils|| smth

im technically tickling her that way

[turbid beacon]

that aint tickling

[crystal tide]

mask

[keen stream]

i need to watch the credits roll again

[turbid beacon]

imagine cooking up an entire ||kingdom|| just cause you made a lot of bugs ||dream about you||

[keen stream]

insane

[turbid beacon]

you can see the credits like 5 times

chill

[keen stream]

its too slow

[turbid beacon]

uh you just said you want to see the credits again

[keen stream]

i said need

for achievements

[turbid beacon]

oki

mask

[keen stream]

i wish there's a skip button tbh

[turbid beacon]

LETS GO

leaving the game

[keen stream]

bro managed to negate the opps

[turbid beacon]

oh wait you cant

[keen stream]

i wont get the achievement

[turbid beacon]

man my new glasses suck shit

what the hell is this thingy near my ears

it aint comfortable

[hoary anvil]

a flag on completing the credits once for a skip button would be nice

-# if they really don't want it by default

[keen stream]

||mr shroom|| looks like he'll start a new kingdom

[turbid beacon]

in silksong i hope

[keen stream]

les gooo

[turbid beacon]

nice

you done everything?

[keen stream]

11 more achievements now

[keen stream]

im missing the ||hunter journal||

i also won't do ||p5|| at the moment

[hoary anvil]

you're missing the achievement for complete silksong and then beat hollow knight

[turbid beacon]

oki

[turbid beacon]

level impossible

[keen stream]

||p5|| would clear my hair

[hoary anvil]

😔

[turbid beacon]

not like you have any hair

[hoary anvil]

🧐 what

[dusky sonnet]

BTW is there any Easter egg to ||mask maker||

[turbid beacon]

receding hairline

[turbid beacon]

prolly not

he's just a regular dude

[hoary anvil]

yes

[radiant raft]

Just an insane rambling lunatic.

[dusky sonnet]

Sounds like a cool dude

[dusky sonnet]

[dusky sonnet]

Gotta add that to the bucket list before silksong comes out

[keen stream]

i always thought ||mask maker|| would make ||mask|| for me ngl

[hoary anvil]

(assuming full item knowledge, ||use dive||)

[dusky sonnet]

Would be a great idea ngl

[turbid beacon]

mask is no longer a spoiler fren

[keen stream]

les gooo

[dusky sonnet]

I see

[turbid beacon]

ima continue editing my video

i've been making it for like 3 days now and i only edited like 50 seconds

adhd can hit somebody hard huh

bro really hates ||zote|| huh

[hoary anvil]

i mean it's no longer filtered, but in the context i'd still agree with the spoiler tag

[hoary anvil]

[thick wing]

this boss fucking sucks!!

[turbid beacon]

I CALL SKILL ISSUE

[thick wing]

no its not just that

[turbid beacon]

STOP PANIC HEALING

[thick wing]

idk i dont like the boss very much

[turbid beacon]

THAT'S WHY YOU LOSE ALL THE TIME

[thick wing]

that's like 80% of it

[turbid beacon]

man panic healing is like drugs

you don't know its bad until it's too late

well i guess you know drugs are bad

but that's beside the point

[thick wing]

nah you dont know how bad drugs really are until its too late

[wet yacht]

why r u healing when the boss is gonna jump...

[hoary anvil]

||- in case you were unaware, claw swipes are proximity triggered

• apparently there's a safe heal after dodging the jump towards you, when it's jumping back to the center||

[thick wing]

i'm aware of both now

[turbid beacon]

yeah after he mentioned them

[hoary anvil]

-# that does seem like the implication of their message

[turbid beacon]

true

man i sound weird

[keen stream]

also, you can just use ||mop|| so you can outrange the dude

[turbid beacon]

oh wait

you didnt get the loot did you

[thick wing]

im going

[turbid beacon]

lmao

[thick wing]

to fucking

do something

just something

[turbid beacon]

wat

[thick wing]

i get hit twice by ||crossroad|| flies, them comboed into a spike, try to come back, get smited by a fly again then hit with a falling spike

[turbid beacon]

truly the gameplay of all time

how does that even happen

you know you can pogo right

[hoary anvil]

there's the ||kill the gruzzers (flies)|| method.
-# also, ||the falling spikes are always in the same location and trigger when you go under them, so you can just predict it next time||

[thick wing]

my brain committing pseudo suicide each time i get hit by an enemy in this game

[turbid beacon]

its a habit

and they ain't easy to break

wait dying is a habit?

[hoary anvil]

giving up when getting hit is the habit

[turbid beacon]

also i think i know a solution to your 4:3 complex

[turbid beacon]

just change the ingame resolution to a 4:3 resolution

[thick wing]

i swear if you fucking tell me windowed

[turbid beacon]

for example 1024x768

[thick wing]

doesn't exist

[turbid beacon]

800x600

[turbid beacon]

that also works

[thick wing]

no

windowed doesn't do shit

also borders

ew

[turbid beacon]

i think there's a setting for borderless windowed

is there

i just have a tiny question

if you're playing in 16:9 why are you recording 4:3

we need a little consistency you know

we cant see half of the screen

[thick wing]

lowest you can go

[thick wing]

performance

[turbid beacon]

wait my hk settings work as low as 640x480

[hoary anvil]

precise reason i go for low resolution on my laptop

[hoary anvil]

what device?

[thick wing]

wtf

?????

[turbid beacon]

computer

[turbid beacon]

i use 960x540

[hoary anvil]

🤔

[buoyant flame]

Is there a better method than killing ||Carver Hatchers|| over and over in ||Failed Tramway|| (to get ||Geo||)

[sleek rapids]

Yeah

[turbid beacon]

can you leave ||deepnestt||

[radiant raft]

A few.

[turbid beacon]

or is it exclusively in ||deepnest||

[hoary anvil]

depends on what you have access too, but they're decent.

[buoyant flame]

Anywhere

[sleek rapids]

No idea how to ask him if he found ||trials|| without spoiling

[hoary anvil]

do you have full map knowledge?

[buoyant flame]

I did

[turbid beacon]

well outside of ||deepnest|| there are the ||kingdom's edge hoppers||

[sleek rapids]

Oh

[thick wing]

fuck you.

[median scarab]

Am I allowed to ask for general guidance tips on where to go? Im going to pull my hair out because i havent played in a few months and dont remember anything

[sleek rapids]

Do the ||second trial|| then

[hoary anvil]

^they respawn on room transition

[turbid beacon]

of course

[buoyant flame]

Okay!

[sleek rapids]

Yeah

[hoary anvil]

and yeah, ||colo 2|| is the best one for money from what i've heard

[turbid beacon]

just show us your inventory and we'll have a general idea of what stage of the game you're in

[hoary anvil]

i wonder if the words trial and error are banned

[median scarab]

Awesome sauce ||I remember the three big guys on the map I gotta kill and theres one in the fog zone area with the jelly fish|| ah ok ill take a screenshot

[hoary anvil]

nice. still spoiler whenever words are used in a spoiler context though ofc

[turbid beacon]

yeah you need to kill those dudes to finish the game

[buoyant flame]

Does it give more ||Geo|| if I use the ||Unbreakable Greed|| ||charm||?

[turbid beacon]

yes

[median scarab]

Oops

[hoary anvil]

no, not in ||colo||, as they're static rewards at the end. does with ||hoppers|| though

[median scarab]

Yeah I have 1 left thats why I quit

[buoyant flame]

Oh ok

[median scarab]

Couldnt find a path to the dude

[turbid beacon]

wow you have literally everytthingg

[thick wing]

so uh, this hole that descends down..?

[hoary anvil]

i think they mean ||pale ore|| <-- incorrect

[median scarab]

Does the game take more than 60 hours to beat cause I have 60 hours sunk in and I think 20 were being too stubborn to go to a guide

for last one

[turbid beacon]

oh ok

[median scarab]

||I cant get through shadow barriers||

[turbid beacon]

just use ||isma's tear||

to get through the ||acid pool||

[hoary anvil]

oh, if you want a hint of where to look for that, go back to ||ancient basin||

[turbid beacon]

well if they specifically want the ||dreamer|| they don't need that

[ebon copper]

what % of hp does ||markoth|| have when he gets his ||second shield?||

[oblique lion]

How do i get to this

[turbid beacon]

they already have ||isma's tear||

[turbid beacon]

platforming

[ebon copper]

bottom

[oblique lion]

Thx

How do i get to the one in ||deepnest||

[median scarab]

Brother I looked everywhere except that singular ||acid pool|| thanks for telling me to look for it i feel dumb

[ebon copper]

||https://scripterswar.com/hollowknight/map||

[hoary anvil]

-# there's two

[ebon copper]

on second tought, that may be a bit of an information overload

mb

[fickle jasper]

Can I give you a tip that helped me play the game?

I won against|| The Hollow Knight|| with it on like 5th try

[near marten]

is there any reason i should try defeat ||gray prince zote|| i already beat him twice

[ebon copper]

yes, and no, depends if youd rather have a ||golden statue,|| or ||bretta|| to actually stay

[near marten]

Whats that thing? 😄

[median scarab]

is the second one in ||queens garden?||

Cause I found that one but didnt see the way to proceed

[turbid beacon]

do you want to know what happens when you kill him 10 times?

[hoary anvil]

uh... for the ||dreamer|| no. they're in ||fungal and crossroads, with the crossroads one being skippable without tear using crystal heart||

[near marten]

Sure

[near marten]

What does the statue do?

[ebon copper]

looks cool

[turbid beacon]

||his statue turns gold and bretta leaves||

[ebon copper]

||bretta leaves at 4||

[turbid beacon]

oh oki

[spice arrow]

🙃

[near marten]

So my character has no benefits for defeating him?

[spice arrow]

someone kill me

tell me this is a bad dream

[near marten]

I want to 100% my run but beating the same boss 10 times seams tedious. Doing it the first time was already difficult

[oblique lion]

How do i pass this?

[near marten]

||shadow dash||

[oblique lion]

How do i get that

[near marten]

Visit ||the abyss||

[hoary anvil]

?tag uncspoilers is a thing btw

[languid radish]

🔹 An unnecessary spoiler is a spoiler (even a tagged one!) that was not directly requested by the user being helped, such as help referencing in-game content that the player has not necessarily reached - Charms build containing Charms they haven’t found, for example. These spoilers, though generally good-intentioned, can harm a player’s experience as any other spoiler would. Remember the game is non-linear; Always make sure to know what a player has and where they’ve reached. A simple screenshot of their map and inventory would tell you all you need to know.

[oblique lion]

Bruh i dont even know what that is

I just want the stupid map

[spice arrow]

then dont worrry about it go explore somewhere else

you cant go there yet

[hoary anvil]

congratulations, you just gave them unnecessary spoilers

[hoary anvil]

^yeah that

[near marten]

So many confusing rules.. I tried ealier to ask about a thing and a bot deleted my message because it didnt had spoilers

[turbid beacon]

since nobody said it yet you don't need to kill him 10 times for 100%

[spice arrow]

dw i was in the same position a few days ago

[buoyant flame]

In the ||Trial of the Conquerer|| I was at the 2 ||Armored Squits (the fly things)||, how many were left?

[hoary anvil]

have you read the pins and channel description?

[near marten]

Yes it says to tag spoilers for all hk content so i did exactly that ans now you say it was unnecessary

[hoary anvil]

Be mindful of your tips: You should never assume that players have (potentially optional) items, or have explored certain places. For example, don't recommend someone a charm loadout without first checking to see if they have those charms in the first place. Ask for an inventory screenshot.
-the pins

[spice arrow]

the tagging of spoilers is to avoid spoliers so dont go spoiling stuff

if that makes sense

[buoyant flame]

Guys at the end of hk spiderman and Batman come in screen and kills everyone (jk)

[oblique lion]

Yay i got a new ability

[spice arrow]

Nice

[buoyant flame]

Which one?

[oblique lion]

Oops

||howling wraiths||

[buoyant flame]

And since when do you exist?

[hoary anvil]

nice

[thorny token]

Wheyy we got a bot

[near marten]

Thanks

[hoary anvil]

sicne about yesterday 🥳

[buoyant flame]

That's actually nice to have

[thorny token]

I kinda wanna test the list of allowed terms

[hoary anvil]

helps us not have to say it ourselves

[spice arrow]

Pretty sure it started with me lol

[thorny token]

Damn, that settles the debate

[buoyant flame]

Actually now I have nobody to blame whenever I see spoilers, now it's just me clicking the spoilers because I can't stop myself.

[spice arrow]

I was asking for help and it just appeared

[thorny token]

Jesus that could have saved me hours back in the day

[buoyant flame]

Do you guys like your siblings?

[hoary anvil]

-# if you look elsewhere, we have access to the list

[buoyant flame]

Just a quick question with no reason behind it

[radiant raft]

Depends on which one.

[buoyant flame]

The younger one

Whoever that is

[radiant raft]

One yes the not so much

[thorny token]

I can definitely see how the bot could become annoying however

[median scarab]

||Uhhhh so like i entered the door that opens when you kill the three dreamers but now i can see my completion% and this feels final if I proceed without 100% will I get a bad ending and if so will I be able to continue this save for 100% ending||

[sleek rapids]

Yeah

[median scarab]

yeah I can continue or yeah Its final

[sleek rapids]

You can keep going even after an ||ending||

[median scarab]

so nothing is locked behind 1st time playthrough?

[sleek rapids]

Nope

[buoyant flame]

Makes sense, since ||you can go above 100% (which I know because people have it in their name)||

[sleek rapids]

But if you get too far you could be locked from that ||ending||

[median scarab]

Awesome sauce guess ill continue and ask for help finding others later

[buoyant flame]

Actually some names should be blocked probably

[median scarab]

wdym get too far?

[buoyant flame]

Incase of spoilers

[tepid meadow]

i mean if you had to, it would have been crazy cuase ||he one shots you||

[thorny token]

That was settled ages ago and was allowed that names were allowed

[sleek rapids]

Idk how to describe without spoilers

[buoyant flame]

Oh ok

[sleek rapids]

But anyways it better to get an ||ending|| now

[thorny token]

But it's funny how you can't say something like ||hey Vessel|| without getting destroyed

As you can see

[sleek rapids]

I'm a spoiler now

Wow

[thorny token]

Damn

[median scarab]

||So like if I get above a certain completion% I get a diff ending so I need low% for first ending||

[thorny token]

No

[buoyant flame]

Fly

[hoary anvil]

you can't say my full nickname without getting hit
-# fortunately just the first part matters

[buoyant flame]

Nah nvm

[sleek rapids]

I mean like if you get a certain item it'll lock you out of the first ||ending||

[median scarab]

ok ill just ||get an ending now ask after||

ah but I dont have it probably awesome

[thorny token]

Wait chat im gonna test some keywords one sec 😭

Focus

Charm

[sleek rapids]

Broken

[tepid meadow]

today "mistake" was spoilered

[sleek rapids]

Howling

[tepid meadow]

i told them its such a general word

[thorny token]

Interesting...

[buoyant flame]

Mistake

[thorny token]

Damn

[tepid meadow]

its not anymore

i told them its such a general word

and convinced to remove

[thorny token]

||my sibling likes hollow Knight||

That's crazy icl

Health

[buoyant flame]

That's why I asked the ||sibling|| question lol

[tepid meadow]

yes\

[sleek rapids]

Yeah this bot is too strict

[thorny token]

I'll probably talk to KarK about these

[crystal tide]

mask, focus, mistake...

[sleek rapids]

Wait hold on

If he bot pinged me

[buoyant flame]

Eggs

[sleek rapids]

The bot technically said ||vessel||

[thorny token]

Oh hey kark

[buoyant flame]

How dare he

[crystal tide]

heyo

[thorny token]

Can u edit the bot 😭

||sibling|| is crazy icl

Same with ||mask||

[crystal tide]

veesel

already did

[thorny token]

Geo

[buoyant flame]

Vessel

[thorny token]

Bench

[crystal tide]

there is an enemy called ||sibling||

iirc

[thorny token]

Yep

[buoyant flame]

Ye

[crystal tide]

then why deleting it

lmao

[thorny token]

Wait can mods evade the bot?

Probably

[crystal tide]

not yet

[hoary anvil]

last i checked no

[thorny token]

Damn

[crystal tide]

but i'll let them

[sleek rapids]

I feel like they'd have to raise the bot's role above the mods

[crystal tide]

by tonight or tomorrow hopefully

[thorny token]

Chat what about "ss"

[crystal tide]

screenshot?

lmao

dunno what that means

[thorny token]

?tag SS is crazy icl

[languid radish]

No tag SS found.

[sleek rapids]

Silksong

[hoary anvil]

silksong probably

[crystal tide]

||sharp shadow|| prob

[sleek rapids]

Nail

[thorny token]

You did a bunch of abbreviations I saw

[sleek rapids]

[crystal tide]

do yall have any problem with some words so far...?

[thorny token]

[crystal tide]

😭

[sleek rapids]

Knight

[hoary anvil]

thought it was lowercase ... i wonder how the bot tag works here though ... can dyno send a different tagged message here?

?tag ss

[languid radish]

No tag ss found.

[hoary anvil]

hmm it might not exist

[buoyant flame]

Ps5

[thorny token]

Is it case sensitive?

[sleek rapids]

Boss

[olive mirage]

So is there something in the pins that says that even if the bot doesnt block something it can still be a spoiler?

[thorny token]

Appears not

[olive mirage]

Cause there should be

[thorny token]

Yeah

[crystal tide]

Lol

[hoary anvil]

thankfully phrases like "null and void" and especially "trial and error" are permitted

[thorny token]

If I say ||I love the little green things in jars or smth||

It's not blocked but still a spoiler

[crystal tide]

ping me if you find any...

[thorny token]

Same with misspelling

[hoary anvil]

-# i was tempted to ping with this one

[hoary anvil]

speaking of misspelling

[thorny token]

||Elder who||

[sleek rapids]

Vp

[thorny token]

Stuff like that

[hoary anvil]

this one happened

[sleek rapids]

Kng

Void

[thorny token]

Silksong

Wheyyyy

Hollow knight

That could be an issue

[median scarab]

||I defeated the hollow knight and became the vessel is that the missable ending?||

[thorny token]

Yep

[crystal tide]

😂😂😂😭

bro answered ur question

[thorny token]

I feel like having a determiner determining what is and isn't a spoiler is weird

Especially with people who might struggle with english

||I love playing the hollow knight.
The hollow knight copy I use has bench warp mods on it.||

Two examples

[hoary anvil]

2nd one particularly, because it's fully valid english syntax

[thorny token]

Exactly

[thorny token]

Thoughts on this KarK?

[eager hearth]

Hi there sorry to interrupt but I’m having a weird issue where my ESC button doesn’t pause the game, and some frames of my skin get frozen… any idea whats happening here? Any help is appreciated

[hoary anvil]

-# and while you're here, here's a misspelling one from a while back (like 4 messages below the quoted)

[thorny token]

Have you tried rebooting/ reinstalling?

And any mods installed?

[olive mirage]

I assume yes cause of skins

[eager hearth]

Yeah a few mods but I just disabled some

[thorny token]

Disable them all and give it a try

[olive mirage]

Yeah try turning them all off

[median scarab]

anyone wanna point me in the direction of a different ||ending||

[thorny token]

Explore.

[crystal tide]

wdym missable

[crystal tide]

and no

[thorny token]

||if you get void heart you can't get the first ending||

[crystal tide]

||the hollow knight is a spoiler|| hollow knight isn't

wait so i was ||the hollow knight?|| no

[ebon copper]

its not possible to get after you have ||void heart||

[crystal tide]

yeah i getchu

\

[thorny token]

So the is a spoiler?

[crystal tide]

no but the full string yea

[thorny token]

Interesting

a hollow knight

[crystal tide]

i want to buy hollow knight

why am i here actually...

[thorny token]

Aight lemme test random things now

Bruh

[crystal tide]

less do that

[thorny token]

Bruh

[crystal tide]

more

[thorny token]

Bruh

[hoary anvil]

-# one could argue ||flowerless variant of that one ending|| is also missable, but there's no achievement tied to it

[thorny token]

Wheyyy

[hoary anvil]

-# there's always the check the list method

[thorny token]

Yeah but the check the list method is very long and tedious

It's more fun to just say random stuff and see if you get blocked

[hoary anvil]

Ctrl + F?

[thorny token]

Me when phone

[hoary anvil]

🥳 gambling

[eager hearth]

that worked, thanks! even the skin is fixed. sorry I was kinda panicking cuz I’m about to stream, also since I made this skin, I thought I might have done something wrong lol. thanks again :)

[thorny token]

Those too...

[crystal tide]

tf is that

[thorny token]

||kings brand place||

With and without hyphen

[crystal tide]

thought so

lmao

[thorny token]

Bruh

[hoary anvil]

i do think it can multi-tag some, like ||howling wraiths|| i think flagged both ||howling wraiths and wraiths|| but that's probably useful for people knowing what's going on

[ebon copper]

lemme do a magic trick

[hoary anvil]

-# i didn't test it myself, just watched others

-# will test that

[ebon copper]

what spoilered word should i say?

[thorny token]

Aight lemme think of sub locations

[ebon copper]

lets do something tamer, like ||abyss||

[thorny token]

Hallownest

[crystal tide]

tkd is cooking rn

[ebon copper]

wait no way

[hoary anvil]

hmm ||tram|| is listed but ||failed tramway|| is not ... time to test that

results: it isn't caught

[solid heart]

N0WS

Well, ||tramway alone isn't||

I made sure ||nail master|| with a space was in the list

[ebon copper]

​a​b​y​s​s

[hoary anvil]

-# not me first checking if it was in the repository list

[ebon copper]

there you go

[solid heart]

?

[thorny token]

Hmm, running out of things now

[ebon copper]

dw about it, its fine until noone else knows

[thorny token]

Station

Ending

[solid heart]

Yeah, cotangent is banned

[thorny token]

Interesting

[solid heart]

You should probably also spoiler the number ||112||

[acoustic sigil]

The fact that the game has an ending is not a spoiler no lol

[thorny token]

Yeah

[crystal tide]

shrue

[radiant raft]

[acoustic sigil]

But we don't do that normally either

[ebon copper]

it doesnt really giveaway any info or spoiler

[hoary anvil]

||hive + the hive|| both being spoiler tagged is a bit redundant, it'll always catch 1 when the other triggers

[thorny token]

Palace grounds

[crystal tide]

whats that

[ebon copper]

thats evil

lol

[median scarab]

||can someone tell me where the voidheart is im surfing wiki pages on god awful wifi so it takes 10 years per page||

[thorny token]

Just sanctum works

Watchers spire

[acoustic sigil]

You know you can just go to the sheet and see what a spoiler is and what not instead of demonstrating it here

[thorny token]

Me when mobile 😭

[acoustic sigil]

How is your bottom right charm slot looking?

[crystal tide]

let them cook

[thorny token]

Frfr

Kark allows it so I'ma keep doing it

[crystal tide]

The bot lagged

hold on

lemme restart

[median scarab]

||like all the others?||

[ebon copper]

can i cook with exclusively spoilered words?

[acoustic sigil]

I mean what charm is in there

[crystal tide]

we are back

[median scarab]

nothing?

[radiant raft]

Dumb ass bot.

[acoustic sigil]

||Go to the top left of queens garden and how many essence do you have||

[thorny token]

||land of storms should probably be added but I'ma keep it in spoilers just bc||

[acoustic sigil]

That one is already added lol

[thorny token]

Thank god

[hoary anvil]

-# is quite helpful though

[ebon copper]

i think that one inst that bad a spoiler, since most ppl wont ever go there anyway

[thorny token]

Bruh

[hoary anvil]

do i need to ||change my name|| at all?

[radiant raft]

… are your sure?

[thorny token]

Lmao

[median scarab]

1120 ||I have no way to go through black borders if thats needed||

[hoary anvil]

means we don't have to spend so much time arguing with new people that they need to spoiler their messages

[ebon copper]

thatone too, not needed to be spoilered

||birthplace|| i mean

[thorny token]

Wheyyy

[acoustic sigil]

Can you send a screenshot of your map and inventory

[thorny token]

When is it ever coming up in conversation tho...

[hoary anvil]

-# i got a ghost ping

[ebon copper]

all those masses of ppl who will be spoiled with ||weathered mask||

[thorny token]

Corni

[ebon copper]

its just too generic to need spoiler imo

[thorny token]

Wheyyyy

My guy

[acoustic sigil]

Who even says that

[thorny token]

Me.

[acoustic sigil]

Weird

[ebon copper]

dont

[manic abyss]

||Fight||

[acoustic sigil]

Look around in ||ancient basin||

[thorny token]

What about npcs

Let's see

[median scarab]

Alright thanks king

[ebon copper]

jinn

[manic abyss]

Np

[thorny token]

Deserved.

[median scarab]

not you

[hoary anvil]

arguably this one could be used in conversation normally
got deleted, it was ||little fool||

[manic abyss]

Oh mb

[acoustic sigil]

Tkd it is quite obstructive with all your messages

[thorny token]

Mb gang

Just serving my channel o7

[acoustic sigil]

Can you please just make a list and check when you are on pc

[hoary anvil]

-# i wonder if we could ... get a temporary channel dedicated to this

[acoustic sigil]

Why

You can already check what is and isn't on the list

[hoary anvil]

you could also just type them all in one message, it'll catch all of them

[thorny token]

Oh yeah I'll do that then

[acoustic sigil]

Problem is remembering what you all put in it

[ebon copper]

i hope im not getting banned for goofing a bit

[acoustic sigil]

As the ones not in the message is the one you need

[thorny token]

Moth

[hoary anvil]

oh yeah, that

[crystal tide]

moth is fine i think

[hoary anvil]

okay, hear me out: designated testing channel. maybe in a different server if needed.

[acoustic sigil]

Proceeds to continue with 1 word messages

[thorny token]

Hmmm...

[crystal tide]

😭

[thorny token]

Too much memorizing

[crystal tide]

okay

we can do that somewhere ya know

[hoary anvil]

[thorny token]

[acoustic sigil]

How can I add the bot to that somewhere?

[thorny token]

Pk

[crystal tide]

by dming me

[thorny token]

Please I beg do not spoiler this

I need to call things pk

[hoary anvil]

:pkhmm:

[radiant raft]

[fickle jasper]

if I got the ||ending where I get sealed in the Black Egg, can I use the same game file to get 100% and get another ending||??

[acoustic sigil]

Yes

[radiant raft]

Yes

[thorny token]

[radiant raft]

That’s a….

[hoary anvil]

that one should probably be ... not there

[fickle jasper]

ty

[fickle jasper]

thanks

[acoustic sigil]

Tkd have some patience

Just hold off for now

[thorny token]

😭😭😭

KarK can I ask you to delete all the untagged spoiler bot messages as I go so I can continue?

[hoary anvil]

in withdrawals after going for 1 minute without stress testing the spoiler bot

[thorny token]

Real

[hoary anvil]

-# i think they're busy setting up a channel somewhere else in specific to test it

[crystal tide]

next one mute

[thorny token]

😭

Mb mb

[oblique lion]

Hollow knight might be lowkey fun

[ebon copper]

you reaaaallly like those small ass letters hmm

[thorny token]

I'd be happy to stress test anywhere icl

[thorny token]

Perhaps

[hoary anvil]

idk, feels like whispering in my brain. even smaller than wrapping everything in parenthesis.

[ebon copper]

get 100% analyzer completion

i belive in you

[oblique lion]

But i wanna have fun

[thorny token]

what about shouting

[restive scarab]

hi i need help

[ebon copper]

overrated

[thorny token]

Don't ask to ask, what's the problem

[restive scarab]

i wanna re attempt ||path of pain|| but its blocked now

[thorny token]

Need a new save file

[hoary anvil]

or mods
(or a designated file where you just ||quit out after winning||)

[oblique lion]

You must be one of em' hollow knight players

[ebon copper]

you cant do it twice on one file unmodded

[acoustic sigil]

If you are on pc you can use the QoL mod, see #modding-discussion pins

[restive scarab]

does it mess up my save somehow

[acoustic sigil]

Probably not but never hurts to have a backup

[thorny token]

No, pretty safe mod if you're smart when installing

[ebon copper]

im never getting 100% analyzer, not cause i dont wann, i honestly doubt i could pull it of pre silksong

[restive scarab]

ok thanks

[hoary anvil]

maybe, though there is a more saves mod that means you can just ... make a new file for it and use debug mod to move over there real fast with noclip

[thorny token]

Skong!

[oblique lion]

Wdym

[ebon copper]

what progression do you have, im curious

[hoary anvil]

silksong could be december for all we know

-# or it could xbox situation again

[ebon copper]

my keyboard be acting up

[hoary anvil]

-# but probably not that last one

[thorny token]

Wdym?

Like what I've done in the game?

[median scarab]

||how do you get the kings crest I had it and it was the piece of the puzzle I was missing but idek how I got it||

[ebon copper]

im not getting ||r5|| till december, i wont even be playing in summer at all

[thorny token]

Left or right half?

[hoary anvil]

OH THAT

[ebon copper]

at thats just the hardest1

[hoary anvil]

yeah, i haven't done that one

[acoustic sigil]

||Beating hornet in kingdoms edge||

[median scarab]

||Theres two halves and thats what opneed the acient basin? if thats the case then both||

[acoustic sigil]

||Kings brand||

[ebon copper]

yes

[thorny token]

Wait no I misread sorry

[hoary anvil]

-# i got ||R1|| up to the end before faling at the final one

[thorny token]

Mb gang I'm tired

[thorny token]

||you got it from the cast off shell in Kingdoms edge after fighting hornet again||

[ebon copper]

like im guessing youve done ||p5||, so past that

[median scarab]

ahhhh ok

[hoary anvil]

i think the problem is that there isn't anything named ||king's crest|| in the game, so we have to guess which of the many things they were actually referring to.

[acoustic sigil]

Yeah but given the context of their earlier question it was pretty obvious

[thorny token]

I have the memory of a goldfish don't expect me to understand context smh

[oblique lion]

What do i get from ||city of tears||

[thorny token]

Explore.

[ebon copper]

i feel like ive been ghosted

[hoary anvil]

a lot

[ebon copper]

[thorny token]

Oh my bad

||I've not actually done p5 😭||

[hoary anvil]

hmm

[oblique lion]

Whats ur fav section/biome?

[median scarab]

mb gang its a subaru situation

[acoustic sigil]

Please edit your message with spoiler tags

[hoary anvil]

uh, depends on what for.
