Lol
No I've just been helping for ages
Oh sorry i wasnt sure if that needs a spoiler warning
checks out ig
👶
@drowsy yarrow ello
Progression (abilities and other upgrades
even ||fireborn|| didn't do ||p5ab||
KarK, ops on upgrade/abilities in terms of spoilers?
hi
I don't think so but it is good to get out of the way
he did get like 12 wrs tho
how do i reach || 2400 essence i have done every dream warrior ||
firebad
You obviously haven't...
||Revisit some bosses you have beaten before||
for music, ||queen's gardens|| is really neat, along with ||resting grounds||. (although most of them are really good, with ||kingdom's edge|| and ||city of tears|| being up there)
thematically, ||ancient basin|| is pretty cool, though variety there is rather lacking
||Dream warrior =! Dream boss||
i have || 2000|| rn
Tkd I think you are the one that fell off
Yeah, it's probably just so easy for him it's not worth uploading smh
What's the difference?
It's in my name
I already embrace the fact I fell off
have you done|| lk||?
ok i got it but idk what to do
he does have it btw
?tag uncspoilers
🔹 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.
Why cant i said ||cot|| they wont know what it stands for
wdym
it was visible in his ||pantheon of nightmares|| vod
||Dream bosses are refights of bosses you've done before, dream warriors are xero etc||
favorite biome for progression and upgrades ... i mean my favorite charm is found (lategame) in ||greenpath||, along with the obvious ability you can get there
yes js did that
||soul tyant|| is hard tho
The one u get after beating ||hornet||?
wait, whats ue fav? is it the ||slug||...?
How is gp lategame
its not taht bad, you could do him in fact
||ismas||
if you havent yet
that is the obvious one
yes
i have tried but i barely get any hits
wts the best build for him
||i forgot what it is even tho i played just a few minutes ago
||
whatever you use normally
i think that one was a normal slip up rather than a stress test fail
net nuked 
I know all the charms have been added
Though have they been spacebar sensetived???
I'm not going to test
It's already set up
this is my current build
||though typing "dream wielder" is very tempting||
@crystal tide can you make it so the bot autodeletes its messages after a couple of seconds? (sorry for ping)
Frfr
then I could stress test more...
Jk
this is decent
Literally go to the other place
Didn't see it, gonna lock in there
which other boss can i ||dream nail||
wait, that was uploaded 4 years ago and in his reaction to Remto's ||R5AB|| (2 years ago) he said he didn't do it yet at around 3:30
he has ||ab||, not|| rab||
i dont even think i saved ||zote||
i don't think it needs to tbh
them remaining gives people context as to what happened
this says|| p5ab||
"I've never even done ||pantheon 5 all bindings||, so I'm just surprised by this" in the video
it could be deleted after like 10 seconds, just for clarity, unless its not efficent to code
hmmm
interesting, so he lied in one of them
coding message deletion does require more code than not deleting (which requires zero)
This bot is peak,,,
delete this message after 10s as requested
i mean, ofc, im just saying if its deemed efficent for what itd provide
skip to 3:35
Wouldnt be a bad idea given there is no reason to watch fireborn videos in #hk-help
k
Maybe you could change the wording to "I marked your link as a spoiler to prevent spoiling anybody... @crystal tide
i fking hate the greedy ass of yt
True
Make it clearer yknow
||okie dokie I got the shadow dash and you said I need dream essence?||
Yes
he could do it relatively easily though I'm sure
was there a way to track ||dream bosses|| its been awhile
||You can get pins for on your map for the dream warriors. For dream bosses there is no such thing, but generally think of bosses that have left a corpse||
||how would I get those pins?||
||Buy them from iselda||
Ok gracias
isnt ||dung defender|| supposed to be here?
That is possible with something like
class UserMessage:
async def delete_after(self, seconds):
asyncio.sleep(seconds)
self.delete()
but in general introducing delayed async requests can be an issue when updating the bot
how do i ||dream nail|| him if hes not here?
||can I miss out on 112% if I dream teleport thingy too much||
||- dive in the arena will pop them out of the floor if conditions for probable target aren't met
- dive under the lever has a secret room for if they are||
No. There's a lot of excess ||essence||, more than you would reasonably ever spend, but even if you do, you can farm it in a couple of areas reasonably quickly. I've even seen an afk ||essence|| farm.
ah ok thanks I was scared
an afk one? with or without an autoclicker?
||if you use it several hundred times, you will make it so you have to spend a bunch of time in random enemies hoping for a random essence drop||
Without. It uses the ||dream shield|| to slowly hit enemies that spawn from ||aspid mothers||
huh clever
Hey anyone know a safe site for hollow knight apk for android
there is no official one for android
Is there no legal way?
^
Yeah I tried that but there's way too much lag 😦
yeahh, i'll prob do that in the future, thanks!
maybe
KarK is such a good mod 
Yeah, thank you for making the bot 👍
Are we gonna bring back full auto delete 
I just died with 4k geo anyone know good geo farm method
Guys after ||getting my new power in crystal mines|| where i go
I forgot if i dont collect my ghost and die again i lose all geo
||depends what else you have done. The main thing progression wise it unlocks is in an area at the bottom of the map||
there are multiple however idk if you have discovered the areas for them yet. Would you mind sending a screenshot of your map
Ok
||i'm doing a steel soul speedrun. I just got crystal dash at 1h and 18m. Still have to get lantern and dream nail though||, Is that good?
But its french
you can go to|| Iselda|| I think
I need geo for that
||if you are happy with it then it's good for you. You definitely have enough time to beat the game in under 5h if that's what you're going for||
only about 200 I think
Yeah i just gotta get the achievement
was my next stop to get pins for ||dream warrior|| but thanks
||one of the best geo farms is at the top of Kingdom's edge in a specific place. You know what I'm talking about if you have been there already||
||
||i dont need the double jump to get to watcher knights, right?||
Then you're doing pretty good I'd say 
Where i go then
you can do a pretty simple ||pogo skip||, yes
Would I be a fool to not think of it?
||where i go after unlocking my new power in crystal mines||
||generally just take a look at your older areas again on the map and explore the places that look unfinished. You might be able to get a bit further now with your new ability.
Also in case you remember any places that looked like you might be able to progress now with your ability go check them out as well.
The main thing it unlocks for progression is in ancient basin though so go explore there again||
||can you send a zoomed in picture of your ke map?||
And how to deal ||with the infection||
||in crossroads?||
Yep
||Im just thinking like do i do conquerer or fool||
you can't do anything about it
||conqueror|| is best for geo
ok thanks
But its ||hard||
that's just the game 
Ok
Alright gg ||just got ddark||
Basically won the run
||I just said "alr lemme check where the dreamers are on my map" and then remembered i dont have a map||
If you gone pretty far enough in the game - you should
Why don't you just try to find out?
Just to try everything in this world
Yeah ||if you have lots of geo do it if not spend it on SMT better||
Is the ||fog canyon|| skip hard
At least 2600 geo, respect her hard job
||I have to try it if i dont want to go through royal waterways||
wts the best build for ||soul tyrant||
Hk help for speedrunners? Do you don't know your route? 
what route
Nah thats not possible
Are you trying to complete the game below 5h?
Welp, I speedran the game very easily in 3h, making mistakes and not using skips, just taking everything necessary for ||dreamers||.
If you played game on 112% - you can just do it in your own way
best charm build for || soul tyrant||
tru but is ||quickslash|| usable there
If you feel comfortable with it
you guys know how to track achievements if you haven't gotten the game on steam
But you anyway can't use it on him
achievements list is empty for me
ye exactly
On main menu achievements
DUDE
they're empty
If not - try to install good copy of the game
HOW DO I DO THAT
Unfortunately, we can't help with piracy
Anyway why do you need them?
i cant afford via steam it atm, i might get one of my friends to gift it to me in a week or two so that'll do ig,
well no i dont have a credit card thats the issue i could pay for so many games rn i have the money but not the card
Have money but no card? How?
So i'm gonna try
pocket money
real
money
like 100$ saved up rn
Anyway, we can't help with empty achievements

Normal heal speed at ||2x heal amount||
Lameee
that'll be an issue if i wanna 112% the game ow
Wait really?
Yeah.
I mastered it
You dont need achievements for 112%, percentage will be shown right in your inventory once you get to the ||hollow knight||
hopefully i can get it gifted to me maybe idk i've just been directionless for most of the time i've been playing the game, progression's been quite difficult, like very and i think achievements could help with it
got like 12 hours on my save so far, got the game 3 days ago
I got on my first 112% save 60+ hours
Only 4 hours a day 
life
only time i really get to play the game is in the mornings
Why not evenings?
||Erra doesnt need double jumps or anything right?||
||Monarch wings?|| No i think
I was without them as i remember
i cant find this one ||grub|| can anyone help
||Collectioner|| will help
oh wow automated spoiler moderation
i already beat ||collector|| and its not appearing on my map?
You have to go deeper into his house and get the map
Lol
hmmmmm
i already have the map
its not appearing
So why can't you see a ||grub||?
Try to look wisely
I'm not sure how keen I am on messages being deleted because of random words being in them without context
i have every single one except this one that isnt appearing on my map
but it's like not a big deal
ive been trying for like 2 days now 😭
Why do you think you even miss a one?

man I wanna just abuse the channel to push the spoiler filter
alright I'll actually help people first
||first dreamer gone||
you need the map for the area that the ||grub|| is in
i have every map
may I see it?
yes
It's getting sturdier by the minute
Ive been waiting for the chat to die to break the bot for a while now aswell

I love the bot
no need to send 6
I dm'ed you
Its pretty good
abkdjwbadkjdpvhasjkd
this bot is so annoying
The current blacklist is in karks github
that might spell trouble
Autodeletion is good, ive already noticed theyre starting to get a little cluttered
New update...
-5 seconds the untagged msg will show up then gets deleted
-Any warning bot msg will be deleted after 1 minute
You were literally in it but left last year
Really interresting
I remembered that part i just didnt remember if i was asked to join since then 
No I don't think so
Do you want to come back?
the rules are clear as crystal
Yes,Tag every message
I mean I'm not against it
Honestly yeah sure, the bot is fun i might try to actually help in here from time to time again lol
Gg moch
I maybe ended in the spam filters as my first dm for you is a server link lol
Theres no speedrun strats in the list yet
Stallball
😭
LOL
it being actively stress tested:
no write like that
as an opponent of the deletion of the warning messages, sad day
Da hollow kngiht
Lol
Do edit your attempts with spoiler tags
thr hollow knight soundtrack is amazing
Or delete them
Theres still humans in here, it just catches the obvious ones
it can make it a bit harder to understand what happened
-# also can't get funny screenshots as easily now
I want help beating the ||radiance||
we can just strict it and add every typo every emoji every sticker everything
Yey it doesn't catch edits
at this point yall just finding ways to bypass it lol
Lol
Please don't I need my emotes

it would be fun if i didn't delete the emoji deletion...]
Any tips for ||

You could probably switch from perfect string matching to some form of threshold checking to catch some of the more obvious typos but eh
😭

||fury does that usually yeah||
||catcher and eater? I hardly knower!|| (spoiler tags edited after)
That wasn't too bad?
wuh oh
Can you SPELL that word for me?
That took my soul
i am going to participate in the spelling bee

@crystal tide new words to add here
SPELL
Hm this one wasnt terrible either, its probably mobile shenanigans

spider
Why only multiple
How did that not count
Sentiel
Only multiple lol

Wtf

I'll use qs and mop to fight rad, wish me luck!
||fluke|| is one that I'm actually concerned of getting deleted for no reason
that's probably second behind ||spells||

It took some convincing
Master
Tyrant
Tmg
I said that should be but I think they didn't agree
Lmao
Allert!
whats tmg again
the only problem with this bot is that a lot of words are situation dependent for context
Has anyone considered how this will affect new players who use a restricted word out of context and the automod ends up inadvertantly spoiling that content?
i havent played holo nite in so long
Sage
this bot is pretty new so there's probably still some thinking to do
Sisters of battle
I do think that could be a concern yes
lol
Guys, the full list is in Kark's GitHub, which is in their profile
Lol
I could have sworn sage was in the list
Sisters of battle
interesting
I think just sage doesn't bring spoilers
nail
||Nailsage is||
truthfully I think the automod could cause more damage than just leaving the spoilered text alone, just like it sometimes did more damage to draw attention to it in the olden days
Poh
Mine
but it should overall be positive
Ch
Yeah, maybe. I think it should give you enough time to copy it
Skull
woah
Ah, that makes sense
Horf.
Crystal peak
woah okay
Huh
Peak
Birthplace
btw the area in game is ||"peak"||
thats pretty bad
Crystal meth 🤔
??


@full kayak I JUST BEAT ||PURE VESSEL||
Gg
||Yoooo hk newbie, don't forget to check out the birthplace to unlock the alternate ending wink||
see one problem i could think of is what if somebody asks something like "i wonder if x ability is in this game" and then the bot comes and tells them a spoiler confirming that yes, x ability is in fact i the game
this could definitely be a problem too
Wing
Ok
Way ahead of you smh
Remove this bot. Or hella overhaul it.
Are we deliberately testing Karks bot?
the best part is that he died to my ||Sharp shadow|| lol
||True ending and the names of the endings are gone as well||
yes
With any stuff?
thats why nobody is being warned or anything for this intentional use lol
Anyrad
any relevant stuff
give me a list of names ending in 'A'
Interesting
||Queens garden||
Rad might die
try apostrophes
Qg
King
why r u a romani
Yep
Qga
Pale king
Ban qg
How did pale king is not a spoilered
what the heck how do I talk about the Queen's Gambit now
For real

Only in full
||pale king|| isnt done???

||No cost too great||
okay we get it they need to add a few terms it's fine
Lofeblood

i'm gonna start warning yall if you are not gonna delete your spoilers after
Shaw would be funny
Defender
loafblood 🍞
Aren't they autodel?
Some of them, at least
||pale king||
not the ones that aren't filtered
not if they fail to be caught by bot
Nmg

someone is legtimiately asking for help
Damn finally a real question in this channel instead of bot testing lmao
i will be silent
yep no more guys let the person get some help
Okay
Where can we test the bot further
Sorry
don't
Suspend the bot and the stress test will stop 
Be very good at game
||I assume you've beaten ascended? what did your strat look like for that? any specific attacks you were struggling to dodge?||
or just dont be a loser and spam lmfao
or just learn how to run a server
you're funny
||Learn their moves, this fight is like a dance, also learn all damage windows and adapt your build to your playstyle, still quick slash, strength, steady body are mark of pride are great here||
||I keep tripping up at the void tendrils move, I just recognize it too late or something. But jumping in preperation for every attack is also a death sentence sometimes||
Mery hot
Uhhhh I could try looking for a wall if you're into that
Spoiler tags
Usually it's good to wait a second or two if ||pv stops doing whatever it is it's doing or dashes away for no apparent reason||
^
Ultra aggression shouldn't be the way to go on ||rad fights||, especially ||radpv||
||jumping ahead of time on every attack isn't that dangerous I find. it's maybe the worst against the spike pillars, but if you can react and dodge in midair, then dodging the rest of the attacks should be relatively easy. it's something you can consider||
Remember, help > bot testing, you have the GitHub list for that
I think a good guide could be to look for an ||All bindings clear||, that has some good strats since ||charms|| don't make it differ that much, and just make it easier. I have mine if you'd like
Also yeah don't forget about ||ddark||, invframes are nice in challenging moments
||Yeah sometimes you get screwed when in the air by him jumping to do the pillars attack, but I guess those odds are lower than dying to tendrils||
||you may also be fine waiting to jump just a little bit later than usual; PV gives enough time to react to a triple swing or lunge that you can jump out of the way, while choosing not to jump against spikes for instance||
Anyone have some tips and possibly a build|| for nightmare king grimm||
||what nail level, spells, and nail arts do you have?||
||the lack of AB and radiant ressources is kinda staggering
like base game stuff is known by most people
But there isn't any ressource out there, tutorial for AB and radiant (like radiant pantheons)||
I mean likely you have actual ressources, but I just dunno where to find them
i have everything
alright
||Grimm|| has very consistent strategies for all of his attacks. Which ones exactly do you struggle with?
I've been daydreaming about a YT video explaining every boss in detail in every level of play, from overworld to ||AB||. It kinda makes me want to do it but I'm lazy.
||how good are you with nail arts in boss boss fights? NKG lends itself very well to nail arts since you can charge one in between attacks and let it loose when he's in range. if you use them as your main damage, you don't even need quick slash or strength and can save those notches for other things||
Because yeah, there's a big lack of guides for that
It's definitely a lot of work
Yeah...
But honestly a dedicated community (cough cough), if synchronised well enough, could do it
I also want to do ||R5|| and have a Bloons video I was supposed to do...
||uhm all? well i dont strugle on anyone but sometimes i dont get hit even once and sometimes i do||
||well tbh, nkg doesn't really rely on charms much, use strenght and shaman stone, because free damage
and the rest barely matters, quick focus, maybe heart and grubsong, not that important
||
What you really need to focus on is learning each of their like 4 or 5 moves to perfection, and be able to dodge them like 95% of the time
If one move is giving you trouble, ask how to dodge it here
Nah there actually just kinda are non lol, zeph does have an || AB guide in the making but its a long project, and hitless pantheon strats arent really all that needed, you can just piece together strats from clears and mostly just use/develop your own since youre spending so much time practicing the bosses anyway ||
(in ||R5||) You can do that (I pretty much did), but community strats are huge, I have implemented some that have helped me so much. It's also not the same as ||radiant|| because you need consistency and can't swap ||charms|| every fight.
huh?
||the bot is gonna hurt tag fails so bad||
alr thanks and one more thing do i need to use ||grimchild||
so always note down what does hit you, and the next time, don't get hit
Also bonus tip : one ||pufferfish = 25% health
and you can heal after stagger, fire pillars and spikes, though more cleanly with quick focus compared to normal healing speed||
Real
yes
gsleep
Goodknight all!
Well, I'm bearding the plane now, a long travel back home... it still departs in half an hour
But idk how my internet will be
bearding
Bearding
||Alr i didnt know that pufferfish triggers every 25% good to know well then thank you all now i gotta try and beat him||
How do you say e instead of o
I guess but like, for example ||markoth
I see people hugging the left wall and going in to take advantage of markoth being stuck on a platform during shield spin to get enough damage to literally skip phase 2
that is a super duper precise strat that the one person who chained like 80 radiant clears in a row does, im not coming up with that without heavy theory crafting, that ought to be explained somewhere||
non-western keyboards I bet

What's crazy about the spoiler rules is that you can't post pictures of the games own manual
lmoa
Actually yeah fair enough, as someone thats been in the community so long i probably just have a skeweree outlook on it because i saw these strats get made and know exactly where to find them or who to ask, but that isnt the case for most people just starting out ofcourse
This is absurd now, honestly.
the fun fact being that the game manual, the steam page and stuff like that
contains a shit ton of spoilers
||It used to be at dirtmouth, but you really can't do anything beyond that due to the non linearity of the game||
well the bot is really really new (like today or yesterday new) thing like that are getting ironed out
I defeated || grimm and the hollow knight ||and idk what to do next, can someone help
Hey, I'd like some help with the ||Radiance||?
show a screenshot of your inventory, charm inventory (and maybe map)
do you see anything on the map that is yet to be explored?
The attack where swords start going through the sides always gets me, specially when spikes start coming out from the ground
Can you post a recording of your fight?
||you can ddark the spikes after they come out; it destroys the spikes and you take no damage. ddarking also protects you from damage against the sword walls. you should save your dash as much as possible so you have your shade dash ready for sword/beam walls. you can also use shriek to airstall through sword wall gaps if you see the opportunity||
||yes, but there is poison and i just die ||
Which spikes? I don't think they're destructible
You can WHAT to get rid of the ||spikes||???
||Ddark = Decending dark||
well you have a lot to do, mainly explore the ||deepest deepest reach of the kingdom, get a lot more essence (try revisiting old areas, old bosses, to see if you didn't miss some dreams left or right)
You are also missing some easy to grab upgrades, go explore peaks again, go close to the soul sanctum again||
Yeah I'm pretty sure you can't do that, I don't think we're talking about the same thing
||And the floor spikes despawn when you touch them, be it while getting hit or while ddarking||
there are no other "||spikes that come out of the ground||"
||oh so i need to beat the old bosses again|| got it, thanks
||What's descending dark again, I haven't touched the game in months?||
there is also usually one major item per area, so if you have explored an area, but didn't get a major item from it, you are likely missing something ||(this is not true for howling cliffs)||
oh ok I see the problem
These spikes
||the spikes that come out of the floor specifically, those go away on contact; but ddarking into them counts as contact and gets rid of them||
||Downwards spell||
wait... how have you not played the game in month ?
yet are asking for help ?
You are trying to get back into the game ig ?
Any tips for ||Trial of the Conquerer|| other than keep trying or git gud?
i dont remember lol, also is there a way to || not break the fragile charms||?
is that ||col2||?
Yes
What parts of the map have you been to and have the map?
Well for ||colo ||your main objective should be to one shot everything
So using ||nail arts and spells is a must, so you put on shaman stone and nail master glory, as for the remaining notches it depends, grubsong is amazing in colo, dreamwielder while it may seem niche can let you get back up to full soul by farming the last enemy of any given wave, mark of pride can be good, as is every other soul gathering charm (spell twister, soul catcher…) ||
(may contain some items you have yet to get)
Nah I have all those
I burnt out doing this fight, I'm just now getting back into it
Show me zoomed in of ||Howling Cliffs||
In ||colo|| are you staying at full HP between waves and getting shredded by one set of enemies, or are you being ground down over time and struggling to find safe healing breaks?
Did you do anything in the tunnel below ||Joni's Repose||?
was there a ||charm|| i dont remember
I'm not good at dodging
There was a ||lantern thing||, try and figure something to do with that. It'll help
After that head back to ||Dirtmouth||
||i defeated grimm tho||
Oh ok, go in ||the small tent to the left||
Equip the ||Fragile Charm|| you wish to ||make better||
oh prolly ||strength|| thanks alott
||your fight looks great so far; I would recommend: 1. using Shriek whenever convenient to get free damage (especially with Shaman Stone); 2. use DDark on spikes as soon as you can to get rid of them and not have to worry about them||
Unless you cant do it ||after defeating grimm|| but idk, I ain't even that far yet.
||he was really fun|| u should try it
You are really good at avoiding her attacks! Try to get a bit more damage in and with a bit more practice you'll be even more consistent at dodging. Rn I'm guessing you're just a bit rusty and overwhelmed by how much is going on in the fight. You got this
Thanks for the support
||Yeah but I have trouble dodging quick attacks||
The one thing I'm terrible at doing is the air dodging and this fight seems to really want you to do that
ah i c, ull get there soon 🫂
||you don't really need to air dodge if you clear out the spikes with DDark for more space
however, it looks like Sharp Shadow is hurting your ability to dodge for no good benefit; you should free up the notches for something helpful||
i dont have a good feeling about this, after the ||banker||
I'll probably do that
Makes sense
it'll be fiiiiine
my guy , u sound soooo sus
well, if you would like to go the rest of your life never knowing what happens, be my guest 
Are you confident with ||pogo||-ing? You can use it to deal lots of damage to her and it can save you from falling on the spikes

||pogoing against radiance is not very safe for a first time clearer||
And if you wind up with lots of soul, just ||upspell|| a couple of times
That's the one thing I cannot do
I straight up cannot ||pogo||
I hear ya. I suggest ||mark of pride + longnail||, but people in this server will brand me a heretic for saying that
Really? That's what I've run through 70% of the game
I thought I was the only one
||You know i havent tried the combo in a while but i believe that is still not enough to hit her without jumping? Might be wrong though||
It doesn't let you reach her from the ground, it just makes timing|| pogo|| easier
people who brand you a heretic for that are losers anyway
||Well its mainly because having both at once is kinda overkill and not really needed, along with the fact that it can build bad habits whenevr you need to use different charms||, this doesnt mean that theyre not useful or bad though
Definitely let's you hop shorter to upslash in any case
Yeah of course after all its up to trial and error in their side to see what really helps or not
What I'm running currently is those two plus ||Elegy||
Since that last one is enough reach to hit from the ground
What are you currently having the most trouble with
||elegy is not a great idea; it only does half damage, gives no soul, and is really inefficient against her high health pool. spells are significantly better for damage||
||I don't like spells too much, they lock you down and leave you too open for hits||
Deal massive damage tho
I think it'd be the vertical sword attacks, specially when the ground spikes come up
Plus there’s a ||quick cast button||
||You should maybe start practicing them, if youre able to get a grip on the timing they can help you a lot||
||Borderline multiply your damage output||
||Quick cast button?||
This is also very important! Makes ||spell casting way faster and leaves you less vulnerable||
Yeah
What is that?
It basically cast ||spells|| a few frames earlier
You can use ||the dive spell to clear the spikes on the floor||
Seems like not mich but its a game changer, look up your keybinds in the settings to figure out what its bound to
And if needed bound it to a more comfortable button
The timing is a bit tight though, right? Cause you need to be right on top of them as they come up
No as long as you ||dive while the spikes are there they should go away||
And if you hit them of course
Can you do it in the air? I've only used it for exploration
KarK you should give the bot a better pfp i suggest something made by me
||dive?|| yes.
Yes, it makes it much easier
fastest way to go back to ||mantis village|| from here i'm lost
If you havent used it much before heres a tip that will help you a lot:
It's bound to F, how do you use it? Just tap the direction?
||whenever you utilize dive, you become invincible as long as youre falling, this is a great way to avoid attacks if you use it by doing a very small jump and then diving, if you do it on the floor the dive will have a hopping animation that lasts longer and you arent invincible there||
||radiances spikes arent actually disabled by the diving action, but by you touching them, and since you touch them while invincible if you dive they go away without damaging you||
Okay, that makes sense
So the ||quick cast|| only has the projectile? How do I use it for other ||spells||?
It has ||all spells, you just need to use it like if you were using the heal button, so look down before pressing it to dive||
Use it like normal just using quick cast button instead of focus button.
the three ||spells: upspell downspell spellspell||
on controller it's bound to R 1
I'm on keyboard
i'm trying to get ||hunters mark|| and the completion check website tells me i'm missing ||10x void tendril|| - is that still doable after obtaining ||void heart||? and if yes, how do i do it?
Yes
Explore around where you got ||shade cloak||
||poke around the right most room of the Abyss||
Huge direction fail smh, left is <--- ,right is --->
Are you on something?
okay, relieved it's still doable after getting ||void heart||... thanks for you answers, i'll have a look
Left is 👈 way, right is 👉 way
Yeah I know.
was this supposed to happen? ||I found another one nearby so I think that yea||
Yes.
Left most room is where you get ||shriek||
I said right most room.
I fixed the wording. I changed it from right room to right most room.
These are the charms I've been running for this, any advice is appreciated
||The Radiance||
Swap ||dash and sprint master out for the strength charm.||
How are you expecting the exploration related charms to help u out here at all
They’re movement ones and can be useful in certain fights.
They can help the… “movement disadvantaged” dodged better.
||Lower dash cooldown would only help them in making mistakes more often tbh||
Spamming ||dash|| can't do you good
This fight is so ||dash|| derpendent that having it up quicker makes all the difference
The ||shade dash|| cooldown isn't lowered by the charm
Sure, but the ||strength|| charm breaks after every fight
And I honestly don't feel up to go grind god knows how many hours for the money I need to get the good version
Oh, you don't have it in ||unbreakable edition tm|| yet
You could also use ||shaman||
||Radiance|| is an ez target for upspell, and downspell is very useful in this fight
I really don't like using ||spells||
You'll barely use half an hour
They leave you way too open
What ||spells|| do you have?
Also you Need them because of the much higher damage
I've got all the upgrades in the game
You can say you don't like using ||spells|| just fine, but this is just cope lol
Not really…
Downspell gives u invincibility frames and gets rid of floor spikes
Yeah they do, once you use a ||spell|| there's a slight moment where you can't either move or ||dash||
Upspell spam nukes ||radiance|| hp bar
okay then your ||spells|| are Better than your nail
Also tbh I find the controls for them kind of awkward
this goes for ||nail art|| as well
Rebind them.
you on pc or console?
Yeah just say u don't like using them lol. Ur other excuses aren't valid
I'm on PC
rebind your controls
I already did that at the beginning of the game, I can't see what I could do to make them less awkward
also ||spells|| have CRAZY damage output for what they consume and how Little they expose you
you should really invest in them
Just make it something you can hit easily, like “e”
like ||Abyss Shriek|| for example ||(which Is very good for radiance btw)|| can deal up to 180 damage if you get all hits (if im not wrong)
120*
sorry
Also ||Descending Dark|| literally makes you invincible for long enough to attack before it runs out, and then you can just do it again.
if using ||shaman Stone|| tho
Combine that with ||spell twister and shamans|| and the fight is basically over already.
I just find the motion hard to do, sorry
yep, you get to dodge and deal damage at the same time
practice
we shall convince them
practice to this message lol I reacted tò the wrong message
Definitely grind for ||unbreakable str|| if you can't deal with using ||spells||
yeah
||Spells|| are a major part of combat, so you're basically handicapping urself
Gael are you perhaps a fan of DS3
||im so trash at this game lmao, can i get some advice on how to deal with crystal hunters? i got shade soul and now im tryna get crystalized mound but those FUCKING HUNTERS I HATE THEM SO MUCH THEY ARE THE MOST ANNOYING ENEMIES IN THE GAME||
ill take It as a yes lul
||Hit their projectiles back||
wait I forgot Who they are lol
Gael, best lady's boy sz
||crystal hunters are the flying enemies that shoot crystallized projectiles||
i cant get the timing right i always just get hit and then knocked into whatever spike pit they happen to be over and then when i respawn their stupid floor traps SPAWN KILL ME-
i hate them so much
Also I should ask, is there any unofficial way I can just skip ||the Hollow Knight|| boss fight right before
I am dead tired of doing it every single time
No. Probably
okay so you can pogo the ||crystal|| when It touches the ground
so you can keep yourself up
I Just suggest ||dashing to go under them||
if not possible try to use a ||spell||
bet
There's a mod called ||SkipToRadiance||
but also i genuinely think they are unfair enemies and my hate will NEVER cease
LMFAO
What enemy
And why is it ||primal aspids||
||THOSE STUPID FUCKING CRYSTAL HUNTERS||
||THEY ARE WORSE THAN PRIMAL ASPIDS THERE I SAID IT||
Ayo that's heresy 💀
||Primal Aspids that shoot crystals.||
||at least primal aspids arent constantly placed over SPIKE PITS and at least their projectiles dont make TRAPS that you have to CLEAR before you have any space to MOVE||
They need ||crystal aspids|| in silksong people would love it so much

Have you heard of pogo.
im so mad i wanna rant about hollow knight but im not far enough into hollow knight to go into a hollow knight discussion without getting spoiled :((
Or upswing to break the ||crystals||
||me when i pogo just as they fire another crystal that hits me while im in the air||
how to cover the top area?
Thats where upswing comes in, it breaks the ||crystal|| and deflects the other one
Spoiler that
The image is spoiler tagged
thats the neat part, you dont!
im sorry is it spoiled or not lol
It is
thats the end of the map
sheeh
Darn discord remix
If you mean the top left area then use ||monarch wings|| to get up, if you mean left of the statue then you cant
also i have just killed ||the last dreamer|| but i dont rly wanna fight ||hk|| yet what else can i do
what have you done
Have you been to ||godhome||?
only unneccasary content ive rly done so far is ||nosk|| and like ||flukemarm||
