gotta hold the button
i am?
so you aquired the heart and it just doesnt work or what?
pink sword?
yeah?
are we talking about the same thing
you're using the ||dream nail|| not the ||crystal heart||
haha I see
but to answer that. || dream nail gives you soul on hit and read thoughts/dreams of enemies for lore||
i can use it on\ enimies? //
even on corpses and sleeping ones
u can use it on enemies
i gotta go back through like 4 regions lmao
im not gonna kill the catterpiller am i?
like im not gonna do irreversible action
already cancelled taking that ladys flower the second time till i learn what she means
what caterpiller?
no you do not harm people with the ||dream nail||
||are the fragile charms like temporary?? why are they called fragile||
when you die, they broke.
You will have to repair them from || leg eater||
is it cheaper tho
yes. also even cheaper when you have the || charm "defender's Crest" equipped||
it is ||"defender's crest"||
oh yeah I switched them in my head
guys
Hm
how to dodge ||sisters of battle when they do a dash and plunge at the same exact time||
i always die when that happens cuz sometimes its just too fast
||Dash|| 
bro i do but i die anyways idk why
i see the effects but i still get hit
im fighting on ||radiant|| btw
Only walking and the ||trams||
Yeah, you can use all of your movement
no ||dreamgate|| no ||stag||
okay
apart from that you can do pretty much everything i think
thats not nice of the devs
and no getting hit ofc
you can do everything except these 3 things
||using stag dream gate and taking damage||
what ppl like to do is ||kill every enemy on the route you will take then grab the flower||
but you cant ||sit on a bench cuz that would respawn every enemy you killed||
Yeah, ||you can’t get locked out of 112%||
bro ||shade dash|| is screwing me up
how do i beat the game tho
still dont understand that
i dont even know if that boss was optional or not
why was he in the middle of nowhere
||Have you visited the big masks on your map||
there are lots of bosses and most of them have no specific order to which you can fight them
nop
was told to look for || dreamers ||
||Those are the masks||
Going to them is the first-ish step to beating the game
am i wrong or is ||nkg|| just faster 2x damage ||grimm||? for the record i have beaten both
agree
||His attacks are faster, he has some other attacks, and there are some changes to his bats and spikes attack.||
ik but like as far as difficulty ||nkg|| isnt like a lightyear of difference like i see a lot of people say he is
||I beat Grimm in like 5 tries. I beat NKG in 67.||
tbh i feel like they are both decently difficult bosses that require some time to get used to the patterns
compared to other bosses they def make the top 10 maybe even top 5
Top 5 in terms of difficulty or enjoyability?
probably both actually
his attacks are far more deadly with the red fire trail etc
||i mean i beat grimm in like 10 tries and i beat nkg in like 5||
thats not normal numbers
thats just crazy
cant believe it
You are exceptional.
usually ||nkg|| takes like 10x more tries or sum
And I don't mean that as a compliment (though you should still take it as one).
well
I mean you are an exception xD
I stopped counting my deaths lets just say that
back to ||p5|| i go
my mommy always said im special
i never even bother to count them
i just gave a rough estimate
oh wait
im actually at 112 already damn

noice
Oh yeah, ||p5|| doesn't count towards 112.
still gotta do ||p5|| tho which will probably suck
mmh its worth it tho
It's a worthy endeavor.
farthest i got is ||sly||
me too
and thats pretty good cuz that was my first try
Took me about 40 in-game hours to pull it off in the end.
i think i died to ||gpz|| on my first try
guys, this isn't the channel for this. take it to hk-discussion
yeah thats true
Does anyone who watches alot of hollow knight youtube videos help me with something?
Charm recommendations for || pure vessel ||
So im struggling right now on ||pantheon 4|| and im editing all of it into youtube videos, do you guys want to watch someone like me beating all of ||pantheon 4|| for the first time, or do you prefer just sped up footage until the final boss?
Yes I want that it also lines up with my previous question
Can you please show your charms
Me?
each person does it differently. I would show your first try and maybe second full try at it, but after that, cut to the boss that you die on. Then include the full run of the time you beat it
it sure does that. ||also respawns the cocoons||
-# i think the one in ||king's pass|| is there specifically to teach people about that before they try stuff with it later.
Heyy, I wouldnt ask if I realy need help.
I am ungodly stuck on these 2 Bosses || Pure Vessel and NKG||
I have beaten || PV|| once after like 100 tries or smth and then well incosistent.
Any Tips to lets say || pv first||
If you need any Picture tell me ^^
(I got every || Charm||)
Any specific attacks you are struggling with?
idk it just feels like every attack.
I maybe even know how to dodge just like I cant do it.
I also need help on || PV ||
||void tendrils|| get me the most, (if I even get it until there)
||Double-jump and dash to get above PV; then, either get behind them and attack with your nail or pogo once and cast Descending Dark. If you're far away enough for the tendrils to completely miss you (e.g. PV and you are standing on opposite sides of the arena), you can heal once here, or twice with Quick Focus.||
I guess a ||double jump?|| I do it too late always.
or ||dash|| to the wall?
@gray sandal
Whenever I || shade dash through him he still seems to hit me||
you got a c||harm build? ||
Thats mine
||pogoing|| him is better
this is a full on guide
Do you use ||spells||?
nah|| pogo sucks|| for me
he teleports away
if your going for a nail build, I would drop ||quick focus|| for something like ||MoP||
rarely I need || soul for heals ||
||I would recommend mark of pride, quick slash, strength and any of these: steady body, grubsong, nail masters glory.||
except when I have too much|| soul like 3 charges+||
you just dont do it correctly than
you only need to ||pogo when he does the 3 hit combo||
I’ll read your huge blurb in a min
oh and the rest just wait until he does that again
well, i explain it all in the message i pinged
hmm lemme try that
no 4 tries I got wrecked.
cant even get that much oppertunites to hit him with "wait for 3 hit combo"
also is || mark of pride realy useful? Cant see the usecase there, I feel like heart is better.||
i mean, optimally you use ||shaman||, i just used to be a ||mop|| enjoyer
also ||mop gives you enough range to have some room for error for the pogo when he does the 3 hit combo||
||So this is better? (ignore the last charm this is just for pantheons)||
||grubsongs|| not the best
Explain pls
Pls set your game to English
how does || dream wielder work in pantheons?||
I would but I play on console.
Achso
like whay does it do
or how do u use it
||I use it to get soul back a lot. When staggering and after death||
You get more || soul|| after ||dream nail|| hit and faster
ik what it does but i totally forgot abt doing that in ||staggers|| 😭
It is a good charm
woulsve made life so much easiwr
Both picks are great
Your build is looking great
|| would nailmaster glory, dream wielder, q slash, unb strength, and shaman be good?||
instead of ||grubsong?||
Yes, that's great also
any tips for || pv||
the pogoing doesnt seem to work, I wish I could just send my fight here.
Maybe I can?
ty
whos ||pv?||
Those charms are the usual replacements
U forgot to spoiler ||dream nail||
If you don't know, then wait to know
Dw about it
im at the || pantheons already|| so does that not mean thats all bosses?
am i sliw
4th p||antheon||
No not quite
Yea u can send up to 100mb, just needs to be spoilered ofc
Otherwise, upload it to YouTube and link it here
I think they changed it with nitro
I couldn't send 18mb yesterday
Ive jumped down the well for the first time
Oh I thought the server was boosted enough to have 100mb file uploads
||yeah that try was awful. I could have healed during the spikes and the focus attack||
oh its a file..
I've been struggling with ||the radiance||, I can make it through ||the hollow knight|| pretty consistently. Is there a better ||charm|| setup, or any tips?
the furthest i made it was ||phase 4||
try using online converter to make it mkv to mp3
you mean mp4 and no I can use obs to "remux" that.
just extra step ugh. ^^
same thing trust
here it is
This is great, but ||steady body for as good as it is, in Radiance it doesn't get much value without advanced strats.
You could change quick focus for shaman or eater because shriek is op, otherwise, shaman and drop grubsong too for twister. If you really want to stay nail or keep quick focus you could change the 1 notchers for twister or longnail||
forgive me that I have music off just I heard same theme a lot of times now
You can just change the name of the extension, it works between these 2, I've done that already.
would it be good to run ||sharp shadow|| for better dodging?
For tips, as I said ||shriek op, but ddark too, you can tank attacks without a dash and destroy the ground spikes
Otherwise, try to dodge first, attack second, also there are so many healing windows, specially so with quick focus, so just pay attention so you can heal all your hp back instantly||
Not in ||Radiance||
There is gonna hurt more than it helps
you can destroy the ||spikes||?! that’s super helpful
You're passively dodging way too much, try to ||pogo at least the dash (ik you struggle with triple slash) instead of dashing through, and stay near the middle of the arena so you can get close to punish daggers||
You could also benefit from ||steady body here||
But I'm not sure about your full build
also heal points are || tendrils, spikes and stagger and maybe focus right?||
Yes
same I posted earlier
||spikes|| are dangerous tho
Ah right
Is it ||P4?||
||yes. also about the dash thing. The attack is very fast so no time to react for me for double jump pogo, I gotta dash through.
Wich makes me thing. a lot of dashing through here, is sharp shadow the play?||
You can drop ||dreamwielder|| for the second part tho, only useful in ||failed champ and watchers||, but the first already has the 🧀 and the bench before, while the second you can use ||dreamnail|| normally and you also benefit from ||steady body|| a lot in both
Not a ||double jump just a full jump is enough||
yeah still to slow xd
||jump away from them||
me after 47 attempts of ||pantheon of the sage, finally getting past god tamer|| oh finally, i can get a be- ||insert troupe master grimm||
That gives you more than enough time
47 attempts to kill ||God Tamer?!||
Practice in the ||Hall of gods man||
slight exxageration
i did practice, after like 10 tries of losing to ||pantheon of the sage||
then it took me 4 more tries
and i died to ||grimm cause i ended the fight with like 3 health||
hahah I gotta share that.
|| So I changed the build and then fought and fumbled so often.
somehow I won. but yknow that realy looks incosistent||
||Tip: just pogo the beast, that should make it easy. Be careful, just watch the time I stamped and the fight or you may get spoiled
https://www.youtube.com/live/SRYsQMqa4I4?si=jSd5hwrHB_TJQPxs&t=24m30s||
||can someone explain to me the endings required for the platinum?
I got the normal ending, I know I should save voidheart for last and there's one called "passing of the age"
What's the others? What should I do before etc||
You can still drop ||wielder tho, as I sad||
Here
||grubsongs|| also kinda bad for ||pv||, and bascally all other 2x bosses
It's still decent
||if u got the normal ending u should be going for void heart now, and the mr mushroom ending (passing of the age) is also a good one to do concurrently. there are two more endings other than that but they are in an endgame area that u may not have gotten to yet||
how would that be, its really inefficent
||I'm missing 2 mask fragments for some reason, I went through the entire game to every spot with a mask shard and I didn't miss any||
||But for some reason I'm short two||
||have u done flower quest yet?||
Yea
||Read the whole wiki page and I did all the stuff, double checked, I think the game somehow bugged out||
You can go sure with that: this game doesnt bug out. (cant even imagine how this game looks stable)
I bet you missed it.
||and I know there are variations of the voidheart one with intervening one with radiance etc, which of these versions have trophies on psn?||
I literally just said I went to every spot in the game with a fragment to make sure I didn't miss it
I didn't fucking miss anything
sheesh
^well what do you want me to say, why asking?
||Did you bought the mask shards from sly?||
yeah
sorry i dont know much about the playstation achievements other than the fact that there are fewer of them compared to other platforms
||For some reason the game didn't give me the salubra achievement either even though I have her blessing||
@raven ether this should have all the shards
im confused
I got all the shards, I double checked and all of them are collected in the world
i mean this?
are you playing on pc? any mods installed
But for some reason the game thinks I'm two masks short
No mods
But I did switch computers at some point which may have broken something
nice
maybe wiki is missing
you on widows?
this isnt a website
i can help with savedit on windows if you are sure you arent missing them, you can just overwrite
Might not be wiki.gg but that's the one most migrated to
It's the one that's not Fandom
||All other 1 notchers are useless in PV|| except ||SB||, as they are either worthless, unusable, or ||NMG, as nail arts are hard to use in PV without getting hit||
||SB is just that good for this fight it's worth, so you're missing 1 notch, and it's at least 60 free soul||
i did read it @solid heart dw
But I can't imagine either of the wikis would be missing any of them
need help about || charms for traitor, i cant even get close to him... ||
and ig, ur right, but you could just use: ||soul twister, shaman, qs, strenght||
just ||walk forward when he goes up, and shade cloack thru when he dashes, never get too far||, and youll be golden
what about charms
i literally dont have any
also is that final boss or is there more?
||traitors|| really straight forward, just use whatever you liked until now
oh no not even close to final boss
quite a lot more
in a way you are
what does that mean 🙏😭
||well you can get a ending fast now but there are 5 endings.
and well lot of bosses there||
|| id take fast way ||
not because im lazy but i got a lot work and ill completely forget where i left off
you got all 3 || dreamers?||
2 of them are postgame, and at that point the gameplay shifts quite a lot
you will no longer need to travel...like at all
and the 3rd requires 3 Bosses more.
oh || 2 dreamers|| have a own boss attached to it.
its very big mmh.-
goooood game
no
oh mb
no || markoth|| is called a ||<dream warrior|| they are around 8 of them idk
so i get all 3 and i got like few more bosses?
not few
||but for the first ending you missing 1 boss then.||
so the || hollow knight ending is easiest? ||
yes
and the|| traitor ||is required to beat him?
no
just ||dreamers||
These items are usefull or i can sell them ?
these are only there to sell.
except for the egg
Ok tks
Yeah i have done the amount of attempts/time on every boss and ||path of pain||
i’m still stuck on ||the radiance||, my loadout is ||quick slash, shaman stone, spell twister, and quick focus||. I can beat ||hollow knight|| usually with ||mostly full soul, maybe missing a soul vessel||, i then skip the first 2 ||phases with abyss shriek||. then i just kill ||phase 3 without spells to get more soul for the last phase||. then i get stuck there, i always die to ||the homing attack or the sword walls||
I can’t even get close to deal damage
I think you should play it slow on that phase, wait for ||radiance|| to come to you and then do damage, prioritize surviving
||the safest way to beat the platform phase is to just stay in the middle and not chase radiance around too much when she teleports. just wait for a good teleport (good meaning nearby / safe to get to) before going for damage. she always spawns at the bottom middle platform at the start of the platform phase; u can use that to ur advantage to get in massive amounts of damage at the start of the phase. for the two attacks u r struggling on, the orb attack can be dodged by baiting the orbs to crash into nearby platforms so that they dont loop around and hit u. u can also use ddark if u r in a bad position to dodge an orb, and if u r right on top of radiance then thats even better since u hit radiance with the ddark as well. and for sword wall u just dash through the gaps of the sword wall. u can even shade dash through the swords if thats more convenient||
Is there a reason there is a || huge pressure plate|| in the middle of || stag nest||, or does it literally do nothing?
it does nothing
the ||sword walls|| aren’t too bad to dodge on their own it’s just trying to recover onto a platform rapidly is tough
Use ||ddark to dodge then, you always stay in the platform||
||well if u r in a bad position to dodge the sword wall, ddark can always be used. but usually u r fine just dashing through the sword wall if u r in a good position. and if it can be avoided, u dont want to dash off a platform when dodging the sword wall, just dash so that u stay or land on a platform||
ty all i’m gonna give it a few more shots!
||what does glowing thing mean? I just fought the zote essence boss here||
||u have ur dreamgate set at dirtmouth||
i still can’t beat ||the radiance|| i’m gonna call it quits for the day but thanks all
yeah sometimes taking a break helps a lot, I spent 5 hours dying to a boss one day, and after I went to bed and woke up, I won on my first attempt that day
||Locked doors are an indication of what?||
Ahhhh i gotta use the no clip cheat 
No 
There's a lever somewhere
||Grimm mod, peak||
theres an entrance from ||kindom's edge||
ty everyone for the help, you all are legends!
Let's go! 🔥
Now time for ||True ending||
Does anyone know how long the|| I-frames are on the shade dash? I've been getting hit so much by pure vessel I'm starting to think there is no I-frames||
Exactly for as long as you ||dash||, I'm not sure how long it lasts
But as soon as you regain control you also lose the iframes
|| pure vessel|| has a big hitbox wich gives you that feeling
Hm, i thought near the start or end you didn't have|| I-frames||, but that does make sense. Thank you!
mhm, ||its his 3 hit attack that is so hard, I swear his hit box gets bigger when hes doing that attack||
yeee i feel you
I was fighting him a lot today
||i would suggest simply pogoing over that attack. it looks scary but its actually a lot more lenient than u would think||
I personaly tried that a lot. It is possible but I time it wrong. always.
Ive never tried that, because ive been so scared.|| His hitboxes for that attack goes high above him and all around him so thats why Ive never tried.|| Ill try it out tho, ty!!
Thats why Ive been so scared lol
no idea how some people ||pogo|| his attacks, I find ||parrying|| much more easier
you are out of your mind
parriying as a strat in bossfight
unless you arent a god this cant be possible
||parrying the triple slash attack can get consistent but ive had more consistency with pogoing||
just a bit of timing and its not as hard as it sounds

both the ||pogo and the parry|| tactics can be done very consistently
in fact even without ||quickslash, wings and mop, its still doable every time,
the harder one is if you hit his guard and than do the pogo over his triple slash attack, but that one can feel inconsistemt without mop and wings||
||absrad no spells coming right up||
Jokes aside, || true ending is when radiance comes in at the end of the thk fight? Right? So I would have to fight radiance?||
yes
yes, kill the || infection|| basicly
|| so after the requirements are met, blah blah blah, when thk dies, then radiance appears? What happens if u die to radiance? Do u have to fight thk again?||
Also, why is completion 112%
do you need help with anything?
||Pogoing that attack is actually really good, because it's one of the few cases where the parry actually does damage||
||parrying|| can almost always do dmg
It doesn't for me. 
yooo
it doing dmg or not depends on how the hitbox of your hit matches up withthe enemy hitbox, with ||pv it just happens to be very easy to do as you wil be the exact right distance with a full height jump||
most of us are
you mean in ||kingdoms edge||? @covert scroll
i think
is it the second time your are fighting her?
cant really help, just gotta try more
ok
good luck, you got this!
thx
Unnecessary spoilers btw
i mean how am i supposed to guess after him agreeimg to me asking about ||kingdoms||?
like i aint a psychic
Ask for screenshots, e.g. There's plenty of ways.
||a lot of beginners neglect to use vengeful spirit in this fight since they want to save their soul for healing. But the fight goes by a lot quicker when u use vengeful spirit as it does quite a bit of damage compared to ur nail||
that kinda makes sense ig, but i can hardly guess that hes asking about ||greenpath hornet|| honestly
[how do you mark a spoiler]

I struggled like hell on ||False Knight|| when I first played, but I getcha.
maybe i just have no life, idk
Yay!
||i struggled on false knight||
Don't worry about the difficulty curve moving forward. You'll definitely hit some roadblocks, but usually if something is super difficult, you can go get stronger and come back to it later.
I just gave up on him for the time being, and killed ||thk instead . The walk back to false knight is brutal||
lmao
this reminds me of the ||dream nail mace bug|| challange
||By defeating hollow knight ?||
What happens when I get ||700 essense and gib it to the moth||
Wait so can I still ||112% the game after I beat final boss ?||
Yes
Beat
Idc
I'm fast
Alright
Kinda suck because I cant see my progress in the save file like on pc
||the ability to see the completion percentage is something ull get later in the game. Even on pc, new save files will not show completion percentage ||
you get completion percentage in || the black egg || just before || The Hollow Knight ||
||The monument/statue at the city or the big thingy where i destroyed three dreamer mask ?||
its later, dw about it
|| The one with the dreamer masks ||
ah, wait youve beat ||hk||?
@round kayak
its possible those percentage after you unlock the possibility to do the ||1st ending||
have you got || awoken dream nail ||?
Yes sir
Got the ||awoken dream nail, the black soul||
I forgot what else do I need
if you get || 2400 essence || you get an achievement.
did you do an ||ending|| yet?
I ve got ||2800||
ah ok
Not a single one
this is my first time finishing the game
||by “black soul” do u mean u have this charm called void heart?||
Yep thats the one
you lock yourself out of one of them with getting ||void heart||
|| You seem more prepared than i did, and I breezed throught the boss. I think you'll be fine ||
I have to ||dream nail hk then beat the big white moth, right ?||
if you wanna do all achievements you will need at least 2 files anyway, so it doesnt really matter
||yea I saved zote so i guess ill have to do another||
dont forget to go to the ||black egg temple|| before you get ||void heart|| next time tho
||I thought I have to fight hk once I get in there so I didnt know||, what happen if I do that ?
you fight the ||hk||, and get ||ending1||
no ||moth||
it does give a separate achievement if you are on steam
im losing hairs because of ||winged nosk|| 
why tho, if you can get there that boss should be easy
same reason as before, orange juice
my mind would stop working as soon as i see them hurling towrds me
its a rythm based fight, you have to get used to the flow of the fight
I'm having trouble on ||Grimm troup || do you guys have any tips?
idk which way to go 
if i go back, i'd still get hit for some reason
i can dodge tho... with sheer luck 
id recommend that you try to read the pattern right when it starts coming out, its harder to know where exactly itll go, but if you get used to it you have so much time its insane
i have no problem with other attacks, its just that one attack where he'd squirt out orange juice
What boss fight are you on?
||#hk-help message||
my only problem is this one attack
@keen stream this legit helps a lot, and its also useful for most other bosses that ||spit out seemingly random patterns||
i'll try
isn't he in ||godhome || or no because I haven't beaten him yet
hes a postgame boss
Where?
||p5||
Oh ok
Where do I go to get this answer?
if you clixk on it, it highlights the message
its hyperlinked
i found a good way to dodge it, now i just need faster reaction speed 
my mind is miraculously working today
you gotthis
||if u r having a lot of trouble dodging the infection spray by just walking out of the way, another method u can try is shade dashing through the infection while it falls. jump up and then at the right timing, shade dash through the infection towards where winged nosk is. if done correctly ull shade dash right through all the infection as its falling past u. u then have time to react to his next attack as needed.|| i attached a vid to show what i mean
it looks a bit scary but is fully consistent
this sounds kinda hard honestly, since you would have to ||dash|| around the apex where they stay the longest
||it is consistent tho. the infection falls fast enough that the timing is quite lenient on the shade dash. all u need to do is jump up, and when u see the infection start getting close, just shade dash through||
makes sense, i wont go away from my tacs tho

yea i mean ||walking out of the way of the infection spit is also consistent, but ive seen a couple r5 runs use this shade dash dodge, and i personally find it pretty lenient as well so i thought i would mention it||
i forgot i did ||charm binding|| yesterday 
its prob better in consistency than mine
im doing... ||p5... with charm binding|| 

good luck, that took me a couple tries to get the first time i was trying to get it, it can be pretty tricky
if i can reach at least ||nkg|| in this... im a god
||good luck, i think the first major roadblock for p5 charm binding will be collector. ull see when u get there||
anyone know if this door in ||fungal || can open? i have access to the other side (its the room with the ||elevator that goes from city to crossroads||) but i dont see any type of lever or way to open it
it cant be opened
||Nosk's infection spit|| was my biggest issue when doing ||radiant||, but only when ||Nosk|| was off screen. I should try ||dashing in the air|| too.
he did it 4 times now 
4 consecutive ||puffs||? o:
3 in a row, then we fought a bit and he did another 1
that 3 in a row is sheer luck
i mean the last one
||huh interesting, i thought grimm could only do 3 pufferfish attacks. one at 75%, 50%, and 25% hp||
Must not be bowing tsk tsk
ngl, i thought i bugged him and he became immortal
im on ||winged nosk|| now, ima try this strat
good luck, maybe shouldve tried it out on ||hall of gods|| beforehand tho lol
||p5|| probably isn't the best place to test new strats but I'm not one to talk
what do we think about this? i've got 12 achievements and i would say i'm about mid way throught the game
the thrill of not losing tho
.... torturous
Also, make sure to take your ||healing opportunities||. ||Winged Nosk|| lets you heal a lot.
||I forgot about this guy
Anyway, where do I find him next ?, I heard there is a zote boss fight||
aint there 63 achievements?
i will
yeah but most of them are just end game milestones (denial)
im doing my last 3 achievements... the worst 3...
I can feel ya...
tyty
||good luck on sly, i remember u were having trouble on sly before||
Hi y’all! I’m about to play some more for the night and I have a few questions based on the picture and video I sent! Firstly, I just want to thank everyone here for being so welcoming and patient to a guy like me :)). Alright…let’s go!:
||1. I just met Jiji, what are they yapping about?
2. How do I get essence?
3. How do I know that I’m in a dreamer world?
4. How do I increase the amount of notches that I have?
5. Based off how much I completed, should I have a double jump by now or another ability outside of the crystal dash that I just got?
6. What are some things that I need to do or not do to get the true ending?
7. This isn’t all that there is in the game…right? :((||
Alright! I’ll be back in about 15 minutes as I’m about to settle in for the night and play. Thank you so much for all of your help in advance!!!! :))
i died to ||sly|| 
just on his 2nd phase now
rip, i had a feeling that was gonna happen
Hitting him out of his bow
ima do ||sly|| in ||hog|| for now ig
or finally make all this ||ascended||
does survival setup works in ||p5||?
i might have to use it in the ||p3|| part innit
speaking of ||sly||, that stupid ||nailsage|| is the only ||radiant|| blocking me from getting to the fun ||radiants||
yeah it works pretty well tbh
im in agony 
Don't pull out ||thorns|| tho
You don't want to have ||thorns of agony||
this stupid attack tho
||1. jiji can retrieve ur shade from anywhere in exchange for one rancid egg. 2. there are various essence sources throughout the game which ull most likely stumble upon just be exploring around. these include whispering roots, dream warriors, and so on. 3. not sure entirely what u mean by this. but u can enter dreams like dream bosses with the dream nail. 4. charm notches are scattered throughout the game; salubra sells 4 of them. 5. yea double jump is important, now that u have cdash u should go get it. 6. there are a couple things ull need to do to get true ending but it boils down to getting a certain charm which will give access to the true ending. i dont want to spoil too much since ull discover a lot of these things through exploration anyways. 7. u still have a lot more things to do in the game, just keep playing and enjoy the process :)||
idk how to counter this fckn beyblade attack
you'll get used to it if you fight him a bunch, I like to ||stick to a wall|| and ||dash|| off as soon as his second slash is done
its in his 2nd phase
ohhhh
i , somehow, can do 1st phase hitless
you use ||nail arts|| for that right?
kinda hitless ig
nuh uh
never even thought of that 
i forgot ||narts|| exists
||i found a mixture of great slash and shade soul to be the most consistent way of dealing with slys frenzy phase. if u have enough soul, just time a shade soul correctly when sly makes a stop and ull most likely get multihits. otherwise, use a great slash instead, the range is pretty large and u can hit sly pretty comfortably with it||
yeah
u can see an example here, ||at the beginning u can see i use some great slashes, then near the end u can see some examples of shade soul multihits||
btw, does ||mop|| affect ||narts||?
I hate how I keep getting to that phase in ||radiant|| but I fumble it
no
I wish ||strength|| did at least
I think the only charms that do modify it are ||nmg and fury of the fallen||
where should i stay when he jumps around?
anywhere that isnt too close to a wall
all u need to do is to avoid getting cornered, thats pretty much it
i almost got him 
phase 2 is much easier than phase 1 if you use ||Great Slash|| on him
You can actually ||heal|| in the 2nd phase, but the timing is tight without ||quick focus||
i'd just stay in the middle and ||dash|| away from him when he's bout to attack
im actually thinking of using both ||quick and deep focus|| on the ||p3 part in p5||
or maybe use the same stuff until ||absrad||
||do i drop all my money into the ancient basin fountain, what happens if i do||
||vessel fragment for 3k geo||
what if i just drop 500
will it like accumulate overtime or no
I think ||deep focus|| might be overkill. It will help you ||heal up|| between fights but you lose a lot of dps having only four ||notches left||
down payment ig
Also what I like about ||quick focus|| is that if you're paying attention, you can quickly cancel your ||heal|| if something is coming
||quick focus|| is good. ||deep focus|| isn't
but can ||quick focus|| cancel the cons of ||deep focus||?
It's a little bit slower than normal still
i like how ||no eyes|| helps you develop your patience
Yeah. It's one of those bosses that I really shouldn't take damage to, but I always do
I'm doing ||p5 without bindings for the first time in a month. It feels so weeeird||
||Cant even use nailart on mobile||
This feels amazing. Nothing has a chance to move.
this feels like cheating
Limiter removal
imagine, that stuff actually dies

lol yea, ||all bindings|| vs ||no bindings|| feels super different.
speaking of ||bindings||, i just died to fricking ||markoth|| in a ||p5ab|| run i was literally just doing. got way too nervous going into the last segment and somehow got hit 4 times to ||soul tyrant|| (dont even ask how, ig it was nerves, idek man), then my nervousness continued into ||markoth|| and i died in 2nd phase :(
I also lost ||4 masks to Tyrant in p5AB|| before. I went back into ||HoG|| afterwards and realized I forgot how to fight him. ||Losing lifeblood masks snowballs so hard||. Is ||Zote|| in your ||p5||?
yea i have ||gpz|| in my ||p5||. i wanted to get to him at least but it isnt happening so far
||strength + fury + nail arts|| would have been crazy combo
me when im never going to beat ||p3||
its not that tough
just pratice on ||hog||
get every boss you encounter on ||ascended||
dodge and attack
he got 6 attacks in total
3 of which are ||nail arts||
1 he does in the ||final phase||
fight him in final phase like this
2 attacks remaining
1st he does 2 swings and then does ||cyclone slash type attack as he moves upwards|| you get time to get 2 hits after that
hit him then
the other attack is just regular 2 swings
if you are precise you can get 1 hit after his 1st swing
and then 1 more after the 2nd
if you are not precise just get 1 hit after the 2nd swing
||this is a hotspring right||
want to get free 400 ||geo|| ?
and see something cool
ye
there is another room to enter just top right of this place
||enter it and go to the right wall, jump while keep pressing right button||
that was cool indeed
You'll get there 
My first time past ||Markoth|| I died immediately to ||Zote|| but I was satisfied.
||sly's|| second phase is literally impossible
how many hours you got on hollow knight
its not achow already sent a video showing hitless ||sly|| phase 2
||Stay in the center of the arena and wait for Sly to come to you. When he does, dash away to avoid the nail and Shade Soul him. If you're out of Soul, charge Great Slash while Sly is jumping around, then when he comes to attack you, dash away and Great Slash him instead.||
36 on pc 80 on switch
ill give that a shot i wasnt even thinking of nail arts
thats more than me
i think you are not trying to adapt to bosses
||#hk-help message||
Here's achow's example for ||Sly||. It's very consistent.
proabably not this is only my second attempt at ||p3|| though
i've just been grinding out everything possible
i'll have a look at this
wdym by grinding everything else ?
i m sure i did other things too
just everything you can do in game before ||godhome||
i did that too
all of the ||whispering roots and all endings||
thats what i mean
all of the ones from before ||godhome||
i got that too || i didnt get roots tho||
tbf the 80 hours on switch were just because it was switch
i think i got 108% on switch
on pc it took me like 25 hours for the 109%
there are also all the ||eggs, relics geo rocks, soul totems, breakable walls, and lore tablets||
thats what i was going for
a lot of collectibles in this game
all ||breakable walls|| is actually kinda painful
i dont know if i've done all walls tbh, i think i have though considering i hit every single wall i saw
what 1500 hours on elden ring does to an mf 💔
Doing full full completion is very stupid
you just gotta love how much content there is for those who seek it
i mean, its cool af
i personally stay ~||1.5-2 dash lengths away from the edge, which ensures that in most cases they'll come from the same side, while i can also dash away||
but uts borderline insanity to do ||r5||
Like, GG, good luck on ||radiant all bindings p5,|| which for some reason does have an associated flag in the game
you need ||r and ab|| separately for true 100%
The game does have an flag for both at the same time
It does not correlate to anything in game, but it is tracked
There is a ||black emblem in the game that is suspected to have shown if you go r5ab||
It does not actually show though
||r5ab|| has a separate flag from ||r5 and ab|| individually?
well, the analyzer doesnt track it, and neighter does it show up when saveediting
yea i only see this in save editor, not seeing an ||r5ab|| flag
||r5|| is more than bad enough anyway
assuming full items, ||NMG + great slash||
||NMG meant nailmaster's glory, not NKG||
the ohko on ||most flying enemies in colo|| is really good. ||shaman stone + shade soul|| does similar
I think ||p5ab|| is where I draw the line of what's in the spirit of "doing everything in the game", largely because the game itself has a clear path that leads you to find out what happens if you do ||all bindings||. ||r1-5|| on the other hand would never be visually acknowledged for someone who has completed ||ab|| on that file.
yes, but the analyzer 100% is still something to go for
the particular idea was that they're useful in this section too to OHKO the ||squits||. this is, of course, assuming your controls aren't like default controller where using both attack and jump at the same time is a pain.
-# keyboard gaming
-# or remapped controller would work too
yeah, also ||p5 no bindings|| is super fun for me again
just facerolling everything
epic spoiler fail
i wanna see you play it for some reason 
so i have a clue on what im supposed to do
ngl i don't mentally consider ||dash slash and great slash|| to be that unique, just positional variants of the same thing.
-# i see everything
-# they play exactly the same except one is for after you ||dash||
Omnipotent aze arc
-# and it so ungodly disgusting please send help
that and really specific use cases
Or maybe only omnipresent
yeah, still plays about the same. i use it for the ||shielded ones|| as you can outrage their guard trigger
i do that too, and then use ||dash slash|| to finish them off.
its really good to ||radiant a certain dream boss||
but like I did ||PV ||with just it and it was miserable because it requires a certain distance and positioning that you aren't always offered
-# i also use ||dash slash|| for ||pale lurker|| - they're painful without it
they are painful.
for a quick minute i thought you meant ||cyclone|| and was confused. i need to go to bed...
it's probably more of a "don't try this at home" strategy (attacking as fast as possible, going for risky plays, taking unnecessary damage) but it works because the bosses just melt and I can heal to full between bosses
i mean their patterns are always the same iirc
if it works it works 
is my mindset
i cant imagine playing the game like this 
that's exactly what I did tbh
I didn't record this time, but maybe next time. There's a lot of people who could demonstrate better than me though, although their strats can be tough to replicate.
Yeah, that was exactly my build for ||colo3|| my first time
oh wait, I had ||steady body|| instead of ||dream wielder||, otherwise the same
No there will be a ||bench|| and next to it there's that thing that gives you ||lore|| (forgot its name :P) and then it will tell you that the ||completion percentage|| is in the ||inventory||
Bro didn't see ||absolute radiance||
It's hard asf
I'm also playing on mobile btw
I somehow got ||113%|| and not ||112%|| :^)
But I still didn't beat ||absolute radiance|| and ||p5||
is bluddy doing major glitches to dupe ||masks ||or smt
?
that isn't worth a %
s||teel soul doesn't die in godhome||, so it isn't risky at all
what if you get a phone call?
if you reach it, you are already home free
After i beated ||p3|| it became 111% but then i realized that I didn't beat ||colo 3|| and somehow it became 112%
Fuck
? what am I supposed to see ?
Did you do ||path of pain|| ?
you have ||9 health in the TL clip, 10 in here (ie heart with 8 masks)||
sure ? what's the point you are trying to make lol
Then it looks like I'm the only one who did it on mobile :)
Although if you've done more than one attempt at ||colo3|| I guess you're ||save-quitting||?
-# lmao that is so true
✨Hitbox✨
how do i get to here?
its called godpixel, its peam
look around the room you are in...
ok
Go down and then left there will be a breakable wall
💀
buddy stop fucking flexing
this isn't the channel for that
especially when you are very clearly just copy pasting save files
Tbh it does look sus
you are telling me that save 2 and 3 are different ?
same play time, same geo amount, same %
you are just copy pasting save files, which is literally just sidestepping what ||steel soul is about, yet you flew about having done steel soul||
im not doubting that you can do ||steel soul||
maybe you can
but you are clearly copy pasting save files
Bruh that's impossible
no it is very easy for anyone with like 100 hours in the game
My main save is 113% ig cuz it was my first time playing it?
anyways, as stated by the pins, this is a channel to ask for help, or help other
flexing your (questionable) achievements isn't the place for this
(84h)
Why are you guys discussing about cheating.
Let him play like he want
I'm just a neutral who's watching the argument 
if you then boasting about things you didn't do legit, im not sure I will just let them play how they want 
play how you want, but be honest about how you play to others
should i change anything i'm about to try and beat the|| traitor, the collector and Mormon the teacher||

Maybe change the ||fstreangh|| with ||quick slash||
Why Chinese?
i would have used ||quickslash||but this build is still very good
speedrun
i'm tryna 100% the steam achievements 👍
I feel you
||On mobile nail range seems more optimal than speed||
you beat him?
Ye
||Poltergeist|| I'm going for an extreme demon called ||uprise|| currently 60%
Thanks for the button setup, I should have used this long ago
Np
2762 attempt btw
Fun fact: in the battle of ||nailsage sly|| the ||god seeker|| is actually watching a fly around the arena
I have 120 demons <3
Btw anybody know how to beat ||absolute radiance|| ?
lots of attempts

there are a handful of practical tips but at some point you have to just ram against her like|| 50 times in the hall of gods before being able to go much further||
I'm doing that
Wait ima show my build
There are some useful specific tips but that don’t go that far
||1) do not chase her in the platform phase, wait for her to go on the center plats
2) don’t spam shriek mindlessly, only use it at the end of an attack (laser or daggers in priority)
3) try to use pogos and side slash when possible to get more damage out of one jump, but don’t get greedy, overstay your welcome and get hit
4) you can heal for one mask at the end of lasers and daggers, just never try to heal for two ever
5) using ddark to preserve your shade cloak is a very valid way to gain on consistency, especially on the platform phase||
||mop is pretty useless for her, grab shaman stone instead, spore shroom is anecdotal, smt like grubsong|| would be better
you can also replace it and ||steady body with a two notch charm, like heart, twister, catcher...||
Okay thanks
is there a checklist on what I can/should do before fighting || THK ||
like idk what to do now
Not really.
You can continue after doing that
So not really anything you should
Well the 2nd time is a lot quicker
You'll be fine
see
Spare
||stuck in a moral dilemma. what shall be his fate monarchs? (first playthrough btw)||
2 v 1 alr
dear lord have some empathy bruh
xd
imma head out
so shall be his fate
||DEATH||
||Purity achieved||
Is there an amount of essence that I have to get for 112 percent? Or is it just ||do all bosses and essence trees||
guys what do i do when ive done everything in the game i dont wana get bored this is peak
||done delicate quest, grubs remains, warrior dreams done, lost kin done, soul tyrant remains, white defender remains. pure nail achieved, path of pain done, mask shard full, last vessel remains.||
What game event is ||god home|| related to?
||10||
dlc
What do I do there
Which one
i dont remember how to do spoilers
Where do i even get ||Schriek|| the last time i played was a year ago
ik
||
Or just double click the message on pc
And there's a spoiler option
|| godseekers dlc i think its called ||
Is it related to ||pantheons||?
if u r getting bored of vanilla content u can always play modded content if u can
Thx
@orchid palm did it two days ago
after youve beeten || p1 to p4 you unlock pantheon of hallownest p5 ||
maybe i will have to check out
i have like 13 mods installed rn
what do u have left
haha thanks
dose not count to %
Ok and can I do ||voidheart ending|| after finishing ||grim troupe dlc and killing him etc||?
yep
yes you can but wich || voidheart ending || are u going for
no
I believe for the platinum trophy I just need the charm, right?
use the 112 % list on google
whats platinum trophy now again
i think it dose i dont remember
@orchid palm check dm
its || bosses charms spells upgrades nail upgrades stags collesium nail arts ||
also || p1 to p4 ||
But the only mention of ||voidheart in the trophy list is the embrace the void trophy which I think is only related to the pantheons||
@unkempt ridge these i mean
achivements ohhh
They're different on psn that's why I'm asking
yeah || embrace the void is p5 ||
Whats the issue?
I think ||only the voidheart charm is needed, for pantheons, not actually getting the voidheart ending right?||
||well according to that list that seems to be the case, but you still need to beat the games afterwards so it doesnt really matter||
Wdym by afterwards?
The ||get 112% and then finish the game achievement says you need to well, finish the game||
Doesnt say ||what ending so ig that depends on you||
|| i did sealled siblings first then pantheons ||
for || 112 ||
I BEAT IT
||are you talking about the hollow knight final boss?||
||it doesnt matter, the achiecement just says beat the game, so yes i suppose but not necessarily||
|| theres 2 final bosses yk you can choose wich one you do ||
Yea I got the ||normal ending alr, just wondering what to do now||
Like ||you could do the regular ending, the voidheart ending, or just do p5 and skip all that||
For trophies
Ok
Yea that's what I'll do I think
do || normal radiance ending ||
Just for the fun?
Cause it gives no trophy
i mean its good training for ||p5||
after uve done that u can do || sealed siblings on the same save|| for an achivement
There's no achievement for that
||sealed siblings||
I have no idea what's happening, I only know that nothing is happening after igniting it
i have it so idk what to tell you
Maybe it did something somewhere else
It indeed doesnt
go back to || dirtmouth||
The psn achievement list is different that's why I sent the link
ok
They said theyre going for a platinum
There's less trophies
on steam it dose
OHHH
Which for some stupid reason has less achievements
Oh no
they have the game on easy mode ig
I had a mod on and i was in a room in th mod accsedantily turned it of and loaded the save
Am i cooked?
@harsh cairn
idk i never played modded
It crashed
no not at all
||some of the hardest achievements are still available, it seems that only the divided paths or replay the game ones were removed||
Yeah the plat only takes 1 playthrough but ||p5|| is still included
i dont know why this is, apparently its something about playstation and missable trophies which id be fine with, if other playstation games didnt have them
Ye I platted all the fromsoft games and hollow knight is way more forgiving as far as missables
you should plat a good game like slime rancher
a lil off topic but this ||charm build|| is insane
why is there a || mask shard || in here and what is that thing I can't pick up
and since when does this room exist
|| since you rescued bretta ||
thats her house
||this is brettas house and is accessible after u saved her from fungal wastes. the thing that u cant pick up is her diary. and the mask shard is just as a reward for saving bretta ig||
To unlock ||the pantheons|| do I need to beat ||the radiance||?
thats a diary you can read
so we directly fight ||absrad? ||
||i found all the grubs on the collectors map but father grub hasn't eaten them and there is a missing grub here is this a bug, do some grubs not appear on the map, am i stupid? my best guess is a grub pin is under another pin so i cant see it||
go to a bench and enter the room again
not sure what exactly u r asking by this. but theoretically u can beat ||abs rad|| without ever seeing ||radiance||. ||p5|| still requires ||void heart|| to unlock tho so it would be a rather weird order to play the game
||do u have any pins that u placed urself? if so, try to unplace each of those pins and see if its overlapping a grub pin||
fat boi
Do I have to do something to make ||the Grimm troupe tent spawn||?
Yes
|| Grimm || feels impossible to beat
If you want a hint, go back to where you started
Like into the ||howling cliffs||?
Yes
how can I get to the left
your on the wrong side
||go to dirtmouth||
so I can open it from the other side
how do I get in the corridor with the Geo mark
theres a breakable floor around there. if you know, you know
no
Where is this bug in ||howling cliffs|| that unlocks ||grimme troupe||
ahh shuu didn't knew that was the case.

hello shu 
shuuuuu 
i beat ||radiant mantis lords|| yesterday
good job
i think you shouldve gotten ||carefree melody||. probably one of the best charms
yeah
does anyone have advice for ||failed champion||?
||what spells do you have? failed champ varies widely in difficulty based on your gear||
||i have 8 masks 2 extra soul thingys pure nail and all of the spells in there dark form, im really new so i think im just bad||
||shriek with shaman stone does 120 damage, and it takes 360 damage to knock him down per phase. I trust you know what to do from there||
use charms ||quick slash, strength, sharp shadow, mark of pride|| if you are fighting him in ||hallownest or hall of gods||
now jump dodge his ground hit-wave attacks
and when he jumps on you, quickly|| dash|| behind him and keep hitting
keep playing and find out! 
||shrieking him is risky for players who are new to fighting it||
||abyss shriek||
it doesn't matter, he goes down so quickly that you can just tank the damage
ig but if he is fighting it in ||hall of gods|| he wont have soul
tho i doubt he is
by the way, ||failed champ has a trick where you can hit his armor to keep him down while you dream nail for soul||
