[tepid meadow]

||why you didnt try absrad|| ?

[sharp torrent]

grats

[tepid meadow]

||markoth radiant||

[ruby shuttle]

congrats dude

[sharp torrent]

saving the hardest ||radiant|| for last seems fairly reasonable to me

[lusty prism]

this is my build btw

[sharp torrent]

looks solid, go tear him apart

[tepid meadow]

||if you are gonna spam shrieks, its better to use hearts, instead of quick slash||

took me about 2 hours to beat him

[sharp torrent]

||than absrad? nah||

[lusty prism]

||do u mean lifeblood hearts||

[sharp torrent]

||fragile heart||

[tepid meadow]

||fragile heart||

[tepid meadow]

also try to get the remaining ||2 notches||

[cerulean maple]

what do i do with ||hallownest seals||

[radiant raft]

How far in the game are you?

[sly lance]

||does saving does saving zote make pantheons harder make pantheons harder? if so is there a way i can kill him? hes in dirtmouth rn||

[ruby shuttle]

||not anymore||

[split fox]

you cant do much now

[ruby shuttle]

||if you did kill him, he would still show up in pantheons||

[sly lance]

Damn, is this a common mistake?

[lapis pasture]

How can I get a lot of geo fast

[ruby shuttle]

depends how far you are in the game

[lapis pasture]

Id say probably late game

I’m over 85% complete

[wise nimbus]

What's the|| nail dmg with u. strength & nail binding||

[ebon copper]

19

[wise nimbus]

Does ||nail cancel doesn't work with flukenest like it does with shade soul? ||

or is it just shuu's eyes deceiving them

[stoic cedar]

20

[ebon copper]

im so confused on what you are trying to say

[stoic cedar]

||do u mean flukenest?||

[wise nimbus]

Yeah

Typo

[ebon copper]

i mean it does work, since ||fluekenest has the sam amount of cast time||

[keen stream]

idk if i should just start ||ssoul|| first or finish ||p5||

[naive oriole]

They are surprisingly different challenges. I did ||p5|| first.

[keen stream]

which one is harder tho

[naive oriole]

||p5||

[keen stream]

im dying

[wise nimbus]

Depends on how far u wanna go in ||ss||

shuu would say

||s.soul-p5 ||is the best

[keen stream]

im kinda tricking my brain to finishing ||p5|| rn

[wise nimbus]

||p5 ||is less painful actually

Since u don't lose anything

just get better & better

[ruby shuttle]

after lots of practice ||p5|| really isnt that bad

||HoG|| is your bestfriend

[keen stream]

i need to practice healing bruh

[torn needle]

practice not getting hit

I used to heal a lot and then once I learned all of the ||bosses|| I noticed I almost never had to heal

[keen stream]

i dont heal when i panic for some reason

[ebon copper]

getting all bosses ||ascended|| is good practice for ||p5||

[keen stream]

90% of them are alr ||ascended|| tho

[ebon copper]

get somewhat consistent on them, like go till you beat them at least 3/5 on ||ascended||

[keen stream]

only 4 are not in ||ascended|| iirc

[ebon copper]

you can leave out ||absrad||

||ascended absrad|| is i feel like close in difficulty to ||p5||

[wooden moat]

I got a problem I reinstalled the game and now I am one-shotting every mob its not normal, does someone know why it does this

[ruby shuttle]

||p5 is attuned health with ascended arenas||

[ebon copper]

yes it is

[keen stream]

you now have built in game assist

[thick wing]

I will ask again have you used mods

[wooden moat]

yeah

[thick wing]

Things like debug mod write to save file, their changes dont get reverted from uninstalling

Your nail damage is probably set to smth very very high

[wooden moat]

I reseted the mod before uninstalling

[thick wing]

I am not sure if that helps

[keen stream]

whats that debug mod btw? ima turn on hitbox and geometry ||dash|| this shit

[thick wing]

wdym

[thick wing]

Id recommend just reinstalling the mod and checking how high your nail damage is

[ebon copper]

its mostly a needed extra for other mods

[wooden moat]

I've launched the game in vanilla and I'm still one shotting everything

[keen stream]

turn on hitbox so i can take advantage of it and barely dodge attacks so i can easily attack

[thick wing]

Yes these mods directly write their changes to the save file, that doesnt get reverted if you go into vanilla afterwards

[sleek rapids]

Maybe delete and reinstall the game?

[ebon copper]

just

[thick wing]

Will not help

[keen stream]

my eyes are so bad i cant read ts

[sleek rapids]

No idea why the emoji is so small

[ebon copper]

[keen stream]

i jus got dark soulsed in a hollow knight server

[sleek rapids]

I'd recommend not using mods and just go full vanilla, for me at least, any mods make me not feel proud of any achievements Ive gotten with it

[ebon copper]

you are already way past where most ppl stop

[wooden moat]

just did it and reseted the mod and reinstalled the game and rereseted the mod and now its god thank u guys for ur help

[sleek rapids]

To be fair, most players are beating ||p5|| now

[ebon copper]

its bellow 5%

[sleek rapids]

Maybe it hasn't updated?

[ebon copper]

not how steam works

[sleek rapids]

I doubt it's actually just staying at 4.6% for this long

[keen stream]

still 4.6%... and the thing still doesnt show

[neat karma]

Dont, read pins

[sleek rapids]

Yeah its prob updated and the percent is much higher

[ebon copper]

its a joke

[neat karma]

Read pins

[sleek rapids]

I'd understand tho if ||p5AB|| was 0.0001%

[keen stream]

should i change this for the ||p3-p4|| part in ||p5||?

i jus got past ||grimm||

[neat karma]

Not true

[neat karma]

That looks fine but id ||personally use sonething like spell twister rather than longnail, at this stage its kind of a placebo||

[ebon copper]

i didnt see anything related in pins

[neat karma]

Its quite literally the second to last on the first pin

Which i see has been reworded since zal remade it but its still the same thing

[lost shuttle]

What should i get before ||watcher Knights|| i already have a save with 104% but thats a long time ago

[ebon copper]

is your problem that it wasnt directly helping... like cmon man

[neat karma]

The problem is that we dont allow meme answers or stuff like gitgud in this channel

[acoustic sigil]

• Do Not Give Unhelpful Advice
  In general, try to be as encouraging and constructive while providing tips to new players struggling throughout the game. Snarky remarks like "git gud" or "skill issue" or "just kill it" provide players with zero constructive feedback on how to progress throughout the game .If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all

Damn @ zal the period at the last sentence is misplaced

[neat karma]

Hi thom 📧

[acoustic sigil]

Hello smoil

[lapis pasture]

How can I get 15k geo

[ebon copper]

it wasnt a reply trying to help, it was just a joke, i dont see how itd be a problem given the context present

[lapis pasture]

Joseph it’s not enough

[neat karma]

Theres a ||few ways to get geo fast but it all depends on what areas youve uncovered||

[lapis pasture]

Every area.

[keen stream]

fastest one i know is ||colo2||

speedrun that shi

[lapis pasture]

Idk what that is honestly

[lost shuttle]

?

[acoustic sigil]

Top of|| kingdoms edge||

[keen stream]

have you been to ||kingdoms edge||?

[lapis pasture]

Ohhhh

[lost shuttle]

||Colosseum of Fools||

[keen stream]

jus go to the top

[lapis pasture]

Dude you put 1 l isn’t there 2?

[neat karma]

From what i read someone is having issues and they said that they wanted to use hitboxes, you told them to get good, did you fully ignore what thommie sent

[acoustic sigil]

1 l 2 s

[lapis pasture]

I thought you were talking about a colon

[lost shuttle]

3 actually

[lapis pasture]

I was really confused

[neat karma]

:

[lapis pasture]

Yeah

Or the other one

[acoustic sigil]

3

[neat karma]

They thought it was written ||collo||

[lost shuttle]

Oh ok

[ebon copper]

maybe i missunderstood, but how i took it was that meii saying they will turn on hitboxes wast serious, if it was than its mb, i missread the sitiation than

[acoustic sigil]

||Nothing specific, you can try the fight now and if you don't manage then get more upgrades ig||

[neat karma]

Moreso telling people that they should get good which implies theyre bad isnt nice and we dont allow it here, even as a joke

[keen stream]

time to face this imbecile once again

im prolly gonna get sprayed by orange juice again

[ebon copper]

ehh, k ig

[neat karma]

The serious part of the message is for stuff like sarcastic remarks

[lost shuttle]

Good luck

[harsh cairn]

||winged nosk ?||

i usualy try to do exactly like ||vengefly king|| but since its hitbox is so weird i fait at that point

[keen stream]

allat practice finally payed off

[hoary anvil]

fun fact, you can ||scream skip|| in there with ||cyclone slash||, but it isn't useful because their hitbox isn't active until after it

[ebon copper]

to the best of my knowledge ||nosket isnt pogoable|| infinitely

[keen stream]

i managed to take advantage of his bigass hitbox by pogoing earlier than im supposed to

i survived with 7 helth, should be enough for ||sly||

[ebon copper]

gl!

[lost shuttle]

I hate ||sly as a boss||

[keen stream]

im happy with allat practice ngl

[hoary anvil]

but the ||great slash|| hitbox is so nice ((bullshit))

[keen stream]

[ebon copper]

if im doing ||sly in normal p5||, i kinda just ignore what he does, since dodging wastes so much time

[lost shuttle]

||Now pantheon 4||

[hoary anvil]

wrong

[keen stream]

i didnt expect ||hornet2|| to appear

[hoary anvil]

fair enough

[keen stream]

i died

[lost shuttle]

||Sly|| is in 3 so the next is 4

[hoary anvil]

they're in 5

[lost shuttle]

Oh

[hoary anvil]

source:

[lost shuttle]

Well i cant even do 3

[hoary anvil]

fair enough, you'll get there eventually

[lost shuttle]

Keep dying at ||grey Prince zote||

[hoary anvil]

||galien into zote|| walled me initially too

[keen stream]

fuck this, im tired of dying in ||p5||

ima ||radiant|| all bosses that could and would easily kill me in ||p5||

[ebon copper]

and than ||umu||

[lost shuttle]

||Yeah zote sometimes takes almost all my health and then umu does the finishing blow||

[ebon copper]

id say ||zotes|| better to practice, cause it actually translates well to other bosses unlike ||umu||

[keen stream]

i forgot who taught that one ||umu|| strat, but twas effective af

[hoary anvil]

you do know that ||you can get 2 dream nails for free at the start||, right? also that ||quick flash has 1 pattern with a 50% chance of being mirrored, ensuring some specific safe platforms||, right?

[lost shuttle]

No i didnt know any of that

[solid heart]

What strat?

Was it my once cycle?

[solid heart]

Yes, half of the middle bottom platform is always safe

[lost shuttle]

Ok thx

Now just practice a bit and i think i will make it

[keen stream]

you lure ||umu|| near a ||jellyfish that births homing missile|| and just spam ||ss||

[keen stream]

this one

its kinda easy to do as well

[lost shuttle]

Im now doing ||collecter|| on a alt save

[keen stream]

im cooked

[ebon copper]

what is the furthest youve got?

[keen stream]

||hornet2|| as of now

im tryna ||radiant|| her rn

[ebon copper]

you get heal after that fight

[keen stream]

i hate that "ediiroo"

"sho!!"

"hegare"

allat shit

im getting sniped

[celest meteor]

If you buy the dlc does it add on to the game like Elden ring or does it change some aspects

[keen stream]

theres no paid dlc tho

its just soundtrack

[rustic spoke]

I do I beat iron soul

[round kayak]

SHAW !

[celest meteor]

Heh

There is no dlc at all?

[keen stream]

"GITGUD!" is her best line

[round kayak]

For sure

[keen stream]

there are DLCs, but they're all free

[thin plover]

your pfp is so cute btw

[round kayak]

yea its the doro

[ebon copper]

the dlcs are kinda like larger updates, they are included content if you just download the game from steam

[celest meteor]

Like content dlc?! And they are free!?

[keen stream]

whats the fastest way to clear allat spikey spikey in ||hornet2|| fight?

[round kayak]

Is it just me or ||Dung defender/White defender just screaming his boss title|| like its Invincible title card ?

[ebon copper]

||shade soul||

[keen stream]

all 4 are free, they're more like major update than dlc

[celest meteor]

Aight bet

[ebon copper]

tho you dont need to remove them, you get used to just dodging them overtime, i never remove them anymore

[keen stream]

im getting too focused on ||hornet2|| im forgetting them spikey spikey

[keen stream]

its harder to platinum compared to elden ring so... good luck

is there a way to kinda remove allat foreground grasses?

i cant see shit because of it

[inner hound]

I dont think but maybe the no ambient noise mod does that

[keen stream]

so theres a way to remove vfx?

[solid heart]

I'm not sure
I know there are mods to remove background, but idk about foreground

[runic belfry]

||when i did hornet 2 i always prioritised destroying the spikes and then attacking||

[inner hound]

still maybe a mod, I think there's one that removes all particle effects and maybe the NoBlur mod does something about that but not sure

[inner hound]

using ||fireball|| to destroy them is good

[keen stream]

im jus having a problem with the foreground tbh

maybe i'll jus adapt

i either win this fight or im gay

[inner hound]

gl on beating her

[keen stream]

im alr dying

[runic belfry]

in hindsight || i should have got more upgrades than just all spells and basic nail || 😭

[ebon copper]

there is a mod that only lets ypu see hitboxes

[runic belfry]

would have made it so much easier

[runic belfry]

i dont think that's like related

i think they just don't want vfx

like at all

[ebon copper]

i mean, it removes all the foregroud grass

[runic belfry]

😭

[inner hound]

makes it harder to ||predict her next attack||

[keen stream]

makes the game more raw

raw experienced

[ebon copper]

ofc, but if that exists there is proably a way to separately remove foreground

[keen stream]

she makes sound tho

ediro is the worst one

[inner hound]

maybe but im not sure if such mod has been developped

[ebon copper]

hard to know which attack shes doing without texture

[inner hound]

||hornet 1 and 2|| is one of the only bosses that doesn't have the sound she makes tied to her next attack

[keen stream]

lobotomy experience in hollow knight

[keen stream]

fr? im always hearing her say "hegare" when she bout to do that slashy slash attack tho

[runic belfry]

see

oops

ok

see

just ||dash|| im

in

and dont look at ur health

[tawny sapphire]

-mei…

[runic belfry]

im so cooked

[keen stream]

maybe im jus going insane

[runic belfry]

whats ur ||charm|| loadout

that might be it

maybe

[keen stream]

11 ||wayward compass||

this

[inner hound]

usually the only sounds you're sure to hear at given moments is at the begining of the fight and the little "huh" when she's stunt

[keen stream]

im doing her ||radiant|| rn so i wont die to her in ||p5|| ever again

[tawny sapphire]

Is this for ||RadHornet||?

[keen stream]

yep

[tawny sapphire]

I’d recommend ||Soul Eater||

[runic belfry]

|| what abt qslash unb strength shaman twister and uh soul eater||

or is that off

[keen stream]

lemme try that

[tawny sapphire]

Not possible

[runic belfry]

oops

[tawny sapphire]

Yeah

[runic belfry]

yeah shit

[tawny sapphire]

Not possible

[runic belfry]

math isnt mathing

||qslash unb strength and shaman is 9, then dream wielder and soul eater?||

[keen stream]

i have infinite ||notch|| as long as i can do math

[tawny sapphire]

Absolutely no

[runic belfry]

idk

[tawny sapphire]

You’ll need to replace ||twister|| with a 1 ||notch|| such as ||Sbody||

[runic belfry]

i dont understand to use ||sbody|| and i refusw to

how to

[tawny sapphire]

Oh wait it says ||Weilder not shield mb, Weilder good||

[runic belfry]

cause ||wielder +souleater is good no?||

[keen stream]

i can ||overcharm|| tho

[tawny sapphire]

Idk you usually use either one cause boosting multiple sources of ||soul|| doesn’t seem that useful imo

[tawny sapphire]

This is including ||OC||

[runic belfry]

that is

[inner hound]

you can't ||dreamnail|| her a lot cause she's fast and you already have more that enough soul with ||soul eater||

[runic belfry]

ive used that for some ||rads|| and my ||soul|| goes weeee so more ||spell|| spamming!

[runic belfry]

thats fair

[keen stream]

im thinking of adding ||spell twister|| but math aint mathing

[runic belfry]

thats what i said 😭

give me my 12th ||notch|| D:<

||grubsong||?

instead of ||wielder?||

[inner hound]

personally i dont ||overcharm with radiants and i use my usual build so that i train to get better at pantheons||

[inner hound]

for ||radiant|| ?

[keen stream]

questionable choice

[tawny sapphire]

Mmmm yes

||grubsong for rad, makes sense||

[keen stream]

||thorns of agony|| would make more sense

[inner hound]

sure, everybody knows its a very good charm, and even more for ||radiant||!

[keen stream]

||unb greed|| in ||godhome|| would be insane

[runic belfry]

yep

[thick wing]

||oro and moto are so difficult omg||

[runic belfry]

best choice

new ||steelsoul shade skip||

[keen stream]

utilize both nail and ||spells||

[tawny sapphire]

Personal take, try backing off when he telegraphs a ||slash||

[runic belfry]

also

[thick wing]

i did practice them a bit like 30 minutes ago via ||hog||

[runic belfry]

|| if i alr did colo1, but saved zote in deepnest after, what then?||

[tawny sapphire]

Just do it again

[thick wing]

yeah im a lot more experienced with them now

||p1|| is somehow kicking my ass

[runic belfry]

ok ty

[thick wing]

im scared of ||p3||

[tawny sapphire]

I dislike that one very much

[keen stream]

prolly the worst one out of the first 4

[inner hound]

yeah exept for ||p5|| its the one that took me the longer to complete

[keen stream]

i find ||sly|| harder than ||pv|| for some reason

[thick wing]

probably should not have clicked that but i think ||i'll be fighting npcs now||

[keen stream]

gl

[thick wing]

oh my god

wait

[keen stream]

i'll continue suffering to ||rad hornet2||

[tawny sapphire]

||White Lady is my favorite boss fr fr||

[thick wing]

if you fight evey single boss ||in the pantheons||..

||radiance..? the hollow knight?||

[runic belfry]

does that mean im gonna fight ||cornifer||

😭

[tawny sapphire]

TRUE

[runic belfry]

im cooked if that is

[tawny sapphire]

Imo figure it out

[thick wing]

i don't wanna spoil anything so don't click BUT

[keen stream]

||isabella|| has the hardest moveset to master

[thick wing]

||absolute radiance??||

smtyh smth that and like ||a vessel||

[keen stream]

just normal ||radiance|| but faster

[thick wing]

people keep talking about those two

[runic belfry]

also maybe i should beat ||radiance|| before doing the ||pantheons||💀

[thick wing]

yeah do that

get all charms

get all ||masks||

get all ||soul fragments||

[inner hound]

and all ||soul vessels + nail upgrades||

[runic belfry]

nah ||shaman, soule eater, twister, and other soul one|| is best load out

[thick wing]

fight her, she's one of the coolest bosses in the game

[runic belfry]

i have all ||masks vessels and nails||

[thick wing]

||especially the ending||

[keen stream]

im only missing 4 bosses to make all this into ||ascended||

[thick wing]

get all charms

[keen stream]

and i still havent reached ||absrad|| in ||p5||

[thick wing]

there's a VERY broken one that ||has to do with your nail :3||

[runic belfry]

is it || nailmasters glory||

[keen stream]

im having the time of my life... last time of my life to be specific

[inner hound]

then you can go ahead but i would still recommend to beat ||radiance|| first

[runic belfry]

prob should 😭

[thick wing]

nope that one's not rly that good in ||pantheons||

it can work

not recommended

[runic belfry]

now i wanna know

[keen stream]

its effective on some bosses

[thick wing]

hint: ||kingdom's edge||, look for unexplored edges

[keen stream]

||sly|| is one of those

[runic belfry]

is it ||qslash||

[thick wing]

yup

[runic belfry]

yeah i bave that

[thick wing]

use it

it's 100% worth it if you aren't already do that

[keen stream]

also get ||unb strength||

save up 15k smth geo

or more

[thick wing]

@runic belfry

[inner hound]

In ||pantheons when you die fragile charms don't break||

but its still good to have for ||radiance||

[runic belfry]

thats what i run every time

[inner hound]

good loadout

[thick wing]

pretty good

rock it

also ||if you ever struggle on a boss, hall of gods exists||

[hoary anvil]

the classic standard dps build

[keen stream]

get ||jonis blessing||, its insanely good

[tawny sapphire]

Sub-optimal load out? Unacceptable. /j

[hoary anvil]

-# i personally use ||quick focus/shape of unn rather than shaman/twister||, but it's preference based

[hoary anvil]

[inner hound]

liar spotted /!\

[keen stream]

||dream shield|| as well

become ||markoth||

[hoary anvil]

||glowing womb||...
or... ||both flukenest AND defender's crest||

[inner hound]

I replace ||spell twister with Sbody and Nmaasters glory||, depends on what you prefer

[keen stream]

its like having coins in a pocket full of holes

[tawny sapphire]

Would actually be good if it was ||1 notch and gave two shields||

[inner hound]

||flukecrest is actually good for thk, and sometimes optimal||

[hoary anvil]

...you're going to need to explain that one, i don't see a way that it outperforms ||shade soul||

[keen stream]

would you take it if it takes 5 ||notch|| but give you 4 shield but the sheild is 50% smaller

[tawny sapphire]

Yes

[hoary anvil]

considering that the max damage listed is lower ||https://hollowknight.wiki/w/Shade_Soul||

[tawny sapphire]

That’s basically invincibility

[keen stream]

average ||wayward compass|| user:

[hoary anvil]

i personally think that ||the shields shouldn't break, but instead *just* not deal damage to the same target twice in rapid succession||

[inner hound]

sometimes ||THK actually has 2 hitboxes, the body and the head, so he takes twice the damage of the cloud, and it is used in speedruns with quickslash and fury||

[keen stream]

[inner hound]

and ||strengh also in the build ofc||

[hoary anvil]

yeah, no way someone does an IL speedrun with ||fury and no strength unless they're just using narts||

[inner hound]

except if they dont have enough ||cham notches left for it||

[royal skiff]

||do I need to beat mantis lords to get thru here in mantis village?||

[buoyant flame]

Yes

[solid heart]

Why not all 3 at once? ||Womb + crest op||

[celest meteor]

how do i get up there on the left

[ruby shuttle]

you access it from the other side in a different area

[slender pike]

if i do a ||pantheon nail binding is strength still useful?||

[sudden lintel]

Perjfuroty

[slender pike]

wha

[inner hound]

yes definitely

[sudden lintel]

It's the answer to life

It's 100% not me tryna say perhaps and corrected it to purjfuroty

[inner hound]

No only ||zote|| knows the answer to life

[sudden lintel]

And he told me

It's perjfuroty

[acoustic sigil]

42?

[normal rain]

Yes

[celest meteor]

is the bank a scammer

[lyric shadow]

what do i do after i get the ||dash||

pls help

[slender pike]

go to ||fungal wastes||

i can show you how with a map

[turbid beacon]

if you give her 2500 geo or more, yes

[hoary anvil]

-# that said, ||max deposit|| is beneficial eventually

[lyric shadow]

where is it

[sleek rapids]

No way I just ruined my ||radiant pv fight|| on the last phase because I walked into him

[tepid meadow]

||yes, but you can get your geo back||

[ivory kindle]

Whats needed for ||112%||

[ruby shuttle]

everything needed for 112% ||all charms, all bosses, all nail upgrades, all nail arts, awoken dream nail, abilities, mask shards, vessel fragments, all spells, the first 4 pantheons, and charm notches||

[ivory kindle]

Wait wait when you mean all you 1mso mean ||nkg||?

As I don't thinkni can do that

I kinda just yk .

Whit music lad

[ruby shuttle]

that way you don't get locked out of percentage

[ivory kindle]

Thank god.

Live

[ruby shuttle]

[ivory kindle]

Nah just live

[ivory kindle]

Oh 1 last thing

[ruby shuttle]

[ivory kindle]

Can I get || unbreakable charms|| if I || banish the trops||

Oh how?

[autumn garnet]

No not after you do

[ruby shuttle]

no

[ivory kindle]

Oh

[ruby shuttle]

but ||fragile charms stll give you the percentage||

thats only for ||fighting NKG||

[ivory kindle]

Same

[autumn garnet]

You don't need them for 112%

[ruby shuttle]

you dont need ||unbreakable||

you do need ||fragile||

[ivory kindle]

Ye but like || unbreakable strenght||

Good for someone

Okay doing || flower quest ||

Also is || hunters shard /mask|| neded

[ruby shuttle]

take off ||elegy, put stength on||

[autumn garnet]

Yes

[rich tusk]

Charms best to fight ||nightmare grimm?||

???

I already died50-60 times

[lusty prism]

what loadout should i use for ||the radiance||

[royal skiff]

||what's the significance of the speaker bu the bench in Queens gardens? I broke it||

||Grimmchild is mandatory, but outside of that strength is always goated, mark of pride always helps, if you're comfortable with certain patterns quickslash+steady body or shaman stone do wonders too.
Outside of that maybe quick focus, but some windows are pretty big already, or spell twister||

@weak salmon probably like, .1% ish?

.01% at worst

[rich tusk]

Ight

Thx

[weak salmon]

What percentage of players do you think have beaten every boss ||radiant||?

[solid heart]

.

[weak salmon]

Thanks

[solid heart]

||strength is always goated, mark of pride always helps, if you're comfortable with certain patterns quickslash+steady body or shaman stone do wonders too, spells are huge here, and the former can help you squeeze a lot more hits, but it's tuffer.

[ornate bison]

Nice

[sullen lynx]

im going || for the second dreamer, any tips||

[ornate bison]

Where do I find her after ||she steals my mone||

[sullen lynx]

||deepnest||

[full vigil]

No boss fight

[sullen lynx]

[compact crescent]

I need yall so badly. Im stuck in ||white palace|| where do i go to get to the boss area

[solid heart]

what side did you enter that room from? left or right?

[sullen lynx]

so do i go to the || second dreamer or the one with 6 eyes? ||

[atomic oxide]

its in ||deepnest. no boss fight and its not that bad of an area if carful||

[solid heart]

you already beat it...

[still copper]

Left, but I tried right first

[compact crescent]

Wtf no boss??

[solid heart]

You had to ||crystal dash instead of falling||

go up instead of down

You're in a secret lore room

[atomic oxide]

||theres no order, you can go for either||

[solid heart]

Continue right to warp back

right*

[full vigil]

||herrah is the six eyed dreamer in deepnest, Lurian is the one eyed in city of tears guarded by watcher nights , and monomon is the one with 2 eyes and it’s in queens guard end guarded by uumuu||

[solid heart]

There is a ||breakable floor|| that can only be triggered if you enter from the right, so if you didn't reach it earlier it's locked

There is nothing there tho

[compact crescent]

Friend ty! So just head outside that room and keep climbing up??

[solid heart]

Yes

[full vigil]

does anyone have tips or ||charm build for collector? ||I’m really struggling on him

[solid heart]

||Do you one shot his mobs?||

[full vigil]

Yeah I do

[solid heart]

Focus on killing them as they spawn

That's weird

In what sense?

[full vigil]

that’s what I do

[junior bough]

It doesn't open the game

[atomic oxide]

huh i thought anything ||kings pass|| didnt get botted because you have to open the game to get that

it says to go to this: %UserProfile%\AppData\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight

[solid heart]

woah what

[stoic cedar]

this is a file path, not a website link

[solid heart]

That's not a link, it's the files

[pale sail]

do the little heads mean i beat these already? It's been ages since i've last played

[junior bough]

what do i do with that

[solid heart]

Pase it in a folder

[solid heart]

It means you beat them

[junior bough]

wait what how do i do that

i suck with file exploreer

[junior bough]

like what folder shoould i place it in

[solid heart]

in that bar

[junior bough]

oh yea that worked

thats the part i couldnt do

[junior bough]

the user1.dat thing

[compact crescent]

You busy??? Im currently at ||1500 essence and idk how to get more|| I’ve searched nearly everywhere

[solid heart]

How are you in ||white palace?||

[solid heart]

yeah, that seems about right

Idk what could be wrong then

[junior bough]

what do i do to rename it

[solid heart]

The files are in the right place

[stoic cedar]

right click the file u want to rename and there should be an option that says "Rename"

[pale sail]

tyvm

[junior bough]

there isnt an option

[stoic cedar]

i assume u r trying to load the backup, all u need to do is remove the "bak" file extension at the end and remove the original dat file

[junior bough]

there isnt an option to rename the file

just view sort by group and new and properties

wtf do i do broooo

[stoic cedar]

okay try clicking on the file so that its highlighted, then right clicking it

[untold tiger]

where do i go after ||royale waterways||

[junior bough]

that worked

to conform i have to delete the one with the bak right

or rename the one that is .dat

[stoic cedar]

do not delete the file with bak. instead, move the dat file out of the folder and remove the bak extension

the one with dat extension, move it out of the folder. the one with bak extension, remove the bak extension by renaming it

[compact crescent]

||i got to the crown area and got some black mask|| did i miss smt

[solid heart]

black mask?

what

||First of all, you need 1800 essence to enter white palace||

[junior bough]

sorry if im being dumb im just not tyrna mess this up. I take the one labled user1.dat.bak1, and change it to user1.dat, correct?

[stoic cedar]

yes exactly. but before u do this, move the original user1.dat out of the folder or delete it

[junior bough]

this is what it looks like now

is this correct

or did i mess it up

oh thank fugging god it worked

thank you so much bro your a legend

[stoic cedar]

nice!

[junior bough]

i truly cannot describe how greatful i am bro i was ready to crash out

i was dreading losing 20 hours of hard work

[celest meteor]

YO I SWEAR I HEAR A CATERPILLAR HERE BUT WHERE

[stoic cedar]

ull have to go all the way around to get this ||grub||

[celest meteor]

BERHHH

[keen stream]

it aint that far tho

[sonic sinew]

||what do you get after defeating the dung defender?||

[sudden lintel]

Aura

And access to more areas

[stoic cedar]

||defenders crest, access to a previously inaccessible area of waterways after u hit the lever, and also a breakable floor near the lever that has some stuff||

[keen stream]

should i just use ||sshadow||?

[hoary anvil]

what for? also probably unnecessary in most cases

[keen stream]

still doing ||hornet2||

[viscid heart]

unless you are doing ||boss radiant|| then i highly recommend not to ||overcharm||

[keen stream]

im doing ||rad hornet2||

[viscid heart]

i dont see why you need ||sharp shadow|| then

[keen stream]

i dont really use ||narts||

[viscid heart]

fair but another one doesnt hurt, or maybe ||dreamwielder||

[keen stream]

im kinda comftable using ||gs|| but idk about ||dash slash and cylcone||

[hoary anvil]

the fact that ||soul eater isn't the one in the overcharm slot|| is crazy

[keen stream]

my dumbass came up with this stupid idea

[viscid heart]

you can use ||dreamwielder then, and during her stagger you can probably get two dream nails giving 4 spells worth of soul||

[hoary anvil]

now you can go and collect the rest and-

[quaint trench]

How am I supposed to dodge the attack from ||pure vessel|| where he swings three times
Most of the time I'm just trying to ||dash away or shade cloak|| but it doesn't work :/

[hoary anvil]

i usually ||jump and pogo||

[stoic cedar]

||I would suggest simply pogoing over the triple slash attack. It’s more lenient than it looks||

[quaint trench]

Also is this charm build good for ||p4||

I'm wondering if ||spell twister|| or ||soul catcher|| would be better than ||steady body and nmg||

Or if I should use ||shaman||

[stoic cedar]

This depends mainly on playstyle tbh

[keen stream]

you can also ||dash through him|| which is kinda neat and lets you attack but kinda hard to pull off

[hoary anvil]

my standard build is ||quick focus/shape of unn + strength/quick slash||, but most would disagree with it

[keen stream]

my brain cant comprehend ||shape of unn||

[hoary anvil]

this will NOT work if you just ||shade cloaked through soul daggers|| in particular

[keen stream]

it does

[viscid heart]

try pogo

[quaint trench]

Kinda random but there are so many ||two notch charms that should be one notch, e.g. sharp shadow, baldur shell, slug, stalwart||

[keen stream]

the cooldown of ||dash|| is so perfect in that fight

[hoary anvil]

i'd like a clip because i never have it off cooldown for that

[quaint trench]

Is ||sharp shadow|| acutually useful in the slightest in the ||pv fight||?

[keen stream]

idk how to screen capture

[hoary anvil]

as a ||slug|| user, i like free ||charm notches||

[keen stream]

but i can fight ||pv attuned|| rn and stream it here

[viscid heart]

kinda depending of the play style but you dont want to rely on it

[quaint trench]

Do you think I should use ||quick focus|| instead of ||MoP|| for the second half of ||p4||

[hoary anvil]

playstyle dependent

[viscid heart]

if you can replace ||MoP|| then i say replace it with ||shaman||

[hoary anvil]

that said it can make things easier if you aren't actually using the ||extra range||

[keen stream]

if you prefer to survive, yeh, why not

[quaint trench]

Extra range I feel like is only really helping me against ||white defender|| because you can just sit there and wack him

And maybe ||tyrant|| but that boss just isn't really hard

[keen stream]

||mop|| is only for safety purposes tbh

[viscid heart]

well you can try to do this without ||MoP||

many people rely on it and without it they dont even know how to play the game anymore lol

[quaint trench]

Is healing good in ||pv||

[viscid heart]

nope

[keen stream]

idk

[viscid heart]

horrible idea

[keen stream]

i never healed in that fight

just perseverance n shit

[quaint trench]

with ||quick focus||

[stoic cedar]

||u should only try to heal once during staggers. Healing once during focus attack is also mostly safe if u r desperate for heals||

[quaint trench]

also ||staggers|| are based on how many times you hit a boss right?

[keen stream]

you can do 3 heals with that iirc

[viscid heart]

still you realistically only have two opportunities, one is ||stagger and the other is ground spike||

imo just not worth it

[viscid heart]

yeah

[quaint trench]

I'm in actual pain I get a ||stagger|| a tonne of ||soul to heal with|| while using a ||ddark|| but it just cancels the ||stagger||

So I should use ||shaman|| instead of ||MoP||

rather than ||quick focus||

[keen stream]

yeh

[viscid heart]

i would recommend

[quaint trench]

Okay, time to repeatedly die to ||pv|| until my sanity disappears

[viscid heart]

dw, after some time it will be so consistent that you can beat him in your sleep

[quaint trench]

Would you say it's harder than the bane of my existence ||nkg||

[hoary anvil]

with ||shape of unn||, for sure it is
-# at least on ||focus||, it's a bit risky on most other attacks

[stoic cedar]

||yea I would say pv is harder than nkg||

[hoary anvil]

-# actually, i've never really tried ||shape of unn|| without ||quick focus||

[keen stream]

i cant record

[quaint trench]

||f a s t s l u g||

[mighty crow]

Rip

[hoary anvil]

you can get away with it on windows using the built in xbox gamebar

(hotkey windows + g ... from there you can even enable a record past 30s thing)

[keen stream]

i got hit 4 times

but yeh, with perfect timing, you dont rly need to jump to dodge allat attack

just the ||tickle tickle||

[hoary anvil]

if ||dive|| iframes are long enough then you don't even need to on that

[keen stream]

i forgot ||dive|| exists

[hoary anvil]

-# i don't know if the iframes are long enough, i've never tried it

[quaint trench]

||Pv|| starts doing the ||void tendrils|| at 25% hp right?

[stoic cedar]

33%

[quaint trench]

And it has like ||1800 hp|| iirc

[stoic cedar]

And ||focus attack starts at 66%||

[keen stream]

fight only lasts like 2 mins

[quaint trench]

"only"

[stoic cedar]

||attuned is 1600, ascended and radiant is 1850||

[keen stream]

yeh... kinda ig

i just spam nail so im not sure

i managed to kill him in jus a min

jus now

jus spam nail

i used these

[hoary anvil]

just checked, they last long enough

[keen stream]

i'll do that

for ||tendrils||?

[hoary anvil]

yeah. it isn't optimal for normal play imo, but it means that jumpless is possible.

[keen stream]

i have higher chance of winning against ||pv|| compared to ||hornet2||

[hoary anvil]

as a note, i tried my first ||p5ab|| run today, died to ||oblobbles||

[keen stream]

getting that far is already insane imo

[hoary anvil]

-# almost died to ||gruz mother|| because of the rust lmao

[keen stream]

is ||hornet2|| harder than ||pv||??

[hoary anvil]

probably not, at least initially.

[keen stream]

im getting better progress against ||pv|| compared to her

[hoary anvil]

but once you're good at ||pv||...

particularly if you let yourself get out of practice against ||hornet 2||

[stoic cedar]

Riiiiiip, ||oblobbles r manageable with practice but u should try to conserve lifeblood going into the fight, it helps a lot. Especially since there’s SoB right after and that plays out a bit differently in all bindings||

[hoary anvil]

-# speaking of which i should try it

[hoary anvil]

didn't even think about them

[hoary anvil]

went sloppy, but still soul positive

[keen stream]

im getting clapped bruh

les gooo

im ready for ||p5|| now

would ||failed champion|| appear in ||p5|| as well?

[hoary anvil]

and now i did a no hit ||attuned|| with all ||movement upgrades and spells|| banned lol

[stoic cedar]

Yes, but later

[keen stream]

ima ||rad|| him as well ig

[hoary anvil]

yes ... iirc it's ordered ||bench tyrant markoth zote champ nkg bench||

[keen stream]

worst combo to ever exist

ima die of stress

[hoary anvil]

-# actually, very few things don't, being ||mantis lords and nosk|| as the only ones to come to mind

[hoary anvil]

you are aware of the cheese strat, right?

[keen stream]

nah

now im not sure about ||nkg||

[hoary anvil]

||- hitting the ARMOR with the nail while they're down will reset the stagger timer without damaging -> progressing the fight, allowing infinite soul

• when in tantrum, the mace has a damageable hitbox and so is vulnerable to shade soul triple hits if timed right
• can dream nail the armor infinitely without nail hits after the final stagger (different audio), and can dream nail after killing too||
  basically: ||failed champ becomes a health reset point, assuming you aren't in soul binding||

[keen stream]

i only know about the 3rd one

i can do inf ||dnail|| when he's down the 3rd time

[hoary anvil]

well the first two were demonstrated in the video
-# also, just did no hit ||attuned|| without using ||dream nail|| at all when i just decided to practice it lol

[keen stream]

the one you said earlier about ||pv||, i jus discovered that if you dodge early in that needle shot burst smth attack you can also ||dash through|| if he'd follow it up with triple slash

[hoary anvil]

-# 5 mask hit charmless

[keen stream]

which is kinda risky but worth the shot

[hoary anvil]

[keen stream]

idk if i jus got lucky or its actually possible

[river mason]

||absrad tips lol||

[stoic cedar]

If u have a specific phase or specific attacks u have trouble with we could give u more specific tips

[hoary anvil]

it might be a playstyle thing because i jump for it as a way to cover for different options, which might mean i'm dodging later and so...

[keen stream]

i'll try jumping

maybe it's safer that way

[river mason]

The climb phase sucks in general. I also can't predict the sword burst

And the orb burst dear god

[hoary anvil]

i keep getting hit because my brain is ignoring ||dash|| ... i'm not sure if it's possible ||dashless|| without specific ai manips that i'm not doing

[strange osprey]

[keen stream]

i didnt know ||pv|| can fly

[warped kite]

Wdym?

[keen stream]

i stagger him right before he gon do that needle in the ground move

he flew off screen

[hoary anvil]

that does happen if they're jumping ... iirc there's a special ai case specifically to send them flying in that instance

-# off screen though, that's a new one

[keen stream]

kinda off screen mb, since half of his body is still shown

its funny tho

[hoary anvil]

i'll show you a funny that can occur if you stagger at the right time

[stoic cedar]

||the climb phase kinda has a rhythm to it, u wait for a laser to show up so that u know where it is safe to move, and immediately climb upwards if u see it is safe. Then wait for the next laser to pop up and repeat the process. U can also try intentionally jumping outwards away from the platforms and shade dashing back towards safety to bait the lasers outwards. For the sword burst attack u just have to react to it, it’s generally better if u r on the ground to dodge it, ddark if u r in a bad position. For the orb attack u just want to bait the orbs to crash into the ground (or the surrounding platforms if its platform phase). It’s not ideal if it loops around and comes back towards u, so try to avoid that if possible. And as always, ddark can be used to dodge through part of the orb attack||

[keen stream]

i dont get it

why are there 2 needles

[hoary anvil]

managed to stagger right as they spawned so their clear probably got executed slightly before they appeared, resulting in them remaining

[hoary anvil]

did a test in ||HoG||, i see what you mean ... is there any healing windows at all that you know of? there's some spots that i think could be done if properly spaced but...

[keen stream]

perfect timing

ngl ||nkg|| is way harder than ||pv||

ima need to practice more

[stoic cedar]

||for oblobbles or sob? oblobbles has healing opportunities between infection spits. And for sob I never tried to heal when there was 3 so I have no clue, there r definitely healing opportunities for 2 and 1 tho||

[hoary anvil]

-# managed to get one with a bait

[hoary anvil]

||SoB||

[keen stream]

i almost did ||nkg|| hitless in ||ascended|| but i fumbled

i kinda got used to his attacks tho, i tricked my brain that he's just ||grimm|| but cooler

[unreal spruce]

need help getting this item

[keen stream]

how tf did the ||mantis claw|| get here

[unreal spruce]

sorry its a randomizer lol

[hoary anvil]

hey check this out

[keen stream]

how tf are you gon get that

do u at least have ||cdash or wings||?

[viscid heart]

it just means its an ability i think

[unreal spruce]

oh shoot my bad

[stoic cedar]

Can u send a screenshot of the specific jump u r struggling with as we discussed in #randomizer

[keen stream]

what should i do in here? im tryna use ||fury|| for ||nkg ascended||

should i replace ||longnail with mop||?

[covert scroll]

yo

[stoic cedar]

U can, but I mean ||if u doing fury strats u might as well overcharm so that u can get to 1 hp very fast||

[covert scroll]

i did it

||i beat the hornet||

[stoic cedar]

Interesting, ig if I’m at one hp I can fish for heals like that

[unreal spruce]

this jump

[hoary anvil]

with testing, all 3 must be accounted for in order for it to be reliable

also don't descend the wall too fast or they may end up in a weird pattern

well, i got a run where i managed to win on them as if i was doing all but ||nail binding||, so good enough for today

[hexed marlin]

i've done || Nightmare King Grimm radiant difficulty ||but I get flogged by || Normal Pure Vessel ||

[keen stream]

i just fought ||pv|| more than ||nkg|| ig
maybe thats the case

[hexed marlin]

||probably there's a pretty clear rhythm after about 50 attempts ||

[keen stream]

||grimm and nkg|| literally has the same pattern, i jus discovered that ||nkg|| is a bit taller for some reason

or im just tripping

[hexed marlin]

he is? that's so weird.

[keen stream]

when he's done with that ||dive and dash|| attack, he kinda stretch his head

[celest meteor]

help im stuck

[keen stream]

idk if thats it or im jus going insane

[keen stream]

you need... faith

jus kidding, jus explore the area

you'll find diff stuff and also a cool item

[celest meteor]

yea i explored it completely but i never saw the entrance

[keen stream]

its this way

[celest meteor]

Oh ber

[keen stream]

he did the puff 2 times now, i refuse to heal

why did he do it 4 times

i just discovered smth cool

||when he's shooting bats and you try to get past on top of him, he'll do that fire pillar move||

also this disgusting shit

[fossil flower]

Go up

[stoic cedar]

||this is the end of the platforming section to cdash, not the beginning part. he came from the top|| but ppl r giving an answer in #randomizer anyways

[keen stream]

what does ||nail binding|| do btw?

does it revert my nail back to its original state?

[stoic cedar]

||it decreases ur nail damage by 80% of its original damage or set it to 13 dmg, whichever is lower. for pure nail u would be dealing 13 damage with nail binding (can be increased with charms like strength)||

[keen stream]

im doin ||p1ab||

i thought its just 40% decrease or smth... i didnt expect it to be that big

[stoic cedar]

oh oops i meant decrease to 80%

it decreases by 20%

but || for pure nail 80% of 21 is higher than 13, so its 13 dmg instead||

[keen stream]

might as well practice ||narts|| here

||narts|| deal higher dmg than normal attacks?

[stoic cedar]

||yes, great slash and dash slash deal 2.5x nail damage, and each cyclone slash hit deals 1.25x nail damage||

[keen stream]

how bout ||dash slash||?

[sharp veldt]

It says right there

[keen stream]

i didnt notice

mb

how bout the ||spell binding||?

[stoic cedar]

||soul binding decreases ur maximum soul to 33 (one cast of soul or one heal)||

[keen stream]

oh, so it doesnt decrease the ||spell|| dmg?

[stoic cedar]

||it doesnt affect spell damage. it only affects ur maximum soul||

[keen stream]

im dying to ||soul warrior|| smth

[shut sparrow]

I'd recommend you do them individually before you try them all at the same time. Unless you find this more fun of course

[untold yacht]

thx

[simple island]

I wake up to two reply pings of people telling me that thommie’s video is "horrible"
Something something two dollars which isn’t a lot something

[somber hill]

it shows u where to go without completely spoiling...

how is that horrible

i was expecting it to have like warped vision cuz it was horrible

[acoustic sigil]

Someone must hold their hand through the entire game

[bleak gale]

this vid is mid

i dont rly see how this helps people get unstuck

[acoustic sigil]

[bleak gale]

i mean you just show how to walk forward into the bottom

nvm chat i didnt watch the last 5 seconds

peak video

maybe couldve dance around a bit to show that its the way to the next area but good enough

[slim salmon]

For the || hunters mark || achievement how many ||additional notes|| do I need to unlock?

[bleak gale]

all of them pretty much

there are some enemies that got added in later updates that dont count for it

[acoustic sigil]

Oh I thought god added them

[bleak gale]

so true thommie

basically every regular enemy needs it tho

[acoustic sigil]

||None after getting the first achievement, you just need to get the 2nd piece of text in every entru||

[bleak gale]

was ||menderbug added later btw?||

[acoustic sigil]

No but not required

[bleak gale]

it should be smh

[acoustic sigil]

I think the idea is that you can get all achievements without googling something

[bleak gale]

yeah ik but the idea of having to drop down ||the well like 50 times for the achievement without even knowing about mender bug is funny||

and then you find out about them by seeing them once, realise youre able to kill them and then ||ddark down the well 50 more times||

[slim salmon]

Damn alright thanks that’s really annoying lol

I don’t have to do that for ||steel soul|| right?

[bleak gale]

why would you have to

[slim salmon]

||steel soul|| requires 100 completion so I don’t know if that includes 100 percent the ||hunter journal ||

[bleak gale]

it doesnt

[acoustic sigil]

||Hunters journal doesn't give a %||

[thick atlas]

||So, I can't get God Tuner. I downpatched to Grimm Troupe Patch for Speedrunning. Now, I can only talk to the Godseeker, and she gives me the voice line, but won't give me God Tuner. Is there anything I can do to get it back bar editing my save file?||

[bleak gale]

she doesnt give it when talking she gives it when you ||open the coffin||

it gets spit out onto the ground iirc

so like when you changed your version back was she already ||unlocked|| or something

[acoustic sigil]

Did you enter your save when having changed the patch

[thick atlas]

||She was locked in the coffin, and I had to kill Pale Lurker again, but she didn't spit it out.||

[thick atlas]

Yeah, does that lock me out? :/

[acoustic sigil]

Not necessarily but that can mess stuff up yes

[thick atlas]

Dang. Good to know for the future.

[acoustic sigil]

You can try this but other than that I'm afraid that you'll have to save edit

?tag saveedit

[languid radish]

Editing save files

You can edit various values of save files. Below are different available methods.

• MoreSaves Mod | Install
• With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the in-game Menu. Either from the Main Menu or Pause Menu, go to Options > Mods > MoreSaves to edit save files in game.
• QoL mod | Install
  • If you open a save file with QoL installed, you'll have an extra file called user#.json (where # is the file number), which can be edited using Notepad or a similar text editor. If you do not know where your saves are located, type ?tag saves for more information
• DebugMod | Install
  • While not an intended purpose, you can edit some parts of your save file using Debug, such as Nail Damage, and those changes will remain even after uninstalling the mod.
• Website
  • Find the Save File, upload it to the website, and make the edits. It will Download as save file for Slot 1, so rename it if needed. If you do not know where your saves are located, type ?tag saves for more information

[thick atlas]

Thank you

[bleak gale]

what does ||god tuner even do? like can you not do pantheons without it or is it just the 1% of completion and the ui thing||

[acoustic sigil]

Just the %

Shows you when you unlocked a|| pantheon or something||

[stoic cedar]

||it shows as an item in ur inventory where u can check what pantheons u have unlocked (and also which pantheons u have all bindings on, since it’ll glow brightly instead of being metallic). It also has an additional effect of indicating whenever u beat a boss that is required for any of the pantheons (it’ll show the godtuner symbol under ur health bar for a moment)||

[keen stream]

btw what am i gon do to get that ||happy couple|| achievement?

[celest meteor]

||is it possible to defeat the lost kin with only the first repair of your nail, because my friend has knocked him like 6 times and he still hasnt died||

[thick atlas]

you can beat any boss with any amount of kit if you put your mind to it. it just might take a while.

[acoustic sigil]

||Lost kin staggers a lot yes, you'll need to stagger him 10 times if you do just nail hits (no spells (not recommended))||

[acoustic sigil]

||Spare the nailsmith||

[keen stream]

so... I'll just leave him be? or am i supposed to find him in a different location?

[tepid meadow]

i couldnt get any ||p4 bindings|| yesterday and now i came back today and got them all 1st try

anyway, now i have maxed ||lifeblood in pantheons||

||this will make p5 alot easier||

[keen stream]

btw, is it possible to do ||bindings|| 1 by 1 and still get allat ||notch thing|| light up?

[tepid meadow]

thats how everyone does

[acoustic sigil]

Leave him be and after that you have to find him elsewhere

[acoustic sigil]

The bright light only shines when doing all at the same time

[keen stream]

i was doing ||p1ab|| earlier

[tepid meadow]

||i will change my charm setup, i was trying steady body and quick slash, its really helpful||

[acoustic sigil]

Yeah great for ||ab||

[keen stream]

do i need to do ||p1-p3 ab|| to unlock the door beside the ||hog||?

[sly rune]

You just need to 12 ||bindings||.

Not necessarily ||p1-p3 ab||.
