[acoustic sigil]

What about this unexplored section

[lyric shadow]

uhh, imma go there real quick

[lyric shadow]

i got jumpscared by a boss or smth omfg

[acoustic sigil]

:clueless:

[pale sail]

I took a long break from the game after beating it but I haven’t touched much of the end game fun stuff. Any hints of where to start/go next? Not sure if this screenshot will help tell you where I’m at progress wise lol

[acoustic sigil]

Can you send a ss of your map

[pale sail]

Sure sec

It’s on deck rn so have to go through a whole process to send to phone lmao

[acoustic sigil]

Can you send your ||ancient basin map?||

I want to see something rq

Sorry for the extra effort lol

[pale sail]

All g I appreciate the help

[lament lake]

||anything weird about that spooky room in the abyss to the left with all the faces?||

[acoustic sigil]

||Okay, so there are 2 main things open for you, looking around in Queens garden and getting more essence. Getting more essence can be done by the dream warriors or refighting some specific bosses you've fought before||

But generally going to unexplored exits on your map is a great way to find everything

[acoustic sigil]

And that ig

[pale sail]

Ok sweet thank you both, one last quick question
Can I get a quick reminder of what ||essence|| actually does cause it’s been awhile 😅

[lament lake]

||the moth in the resting grounds gives you cool stuff when you get enough essence||

[pale sail]

I HAVE A PLAN NOW TY

[lyric shadow]

i died to this stupid boss

i died twice and lost all my geo NOOOOO

im so pissed off

[pale sail]

bruh ok I repost

OK ONE LAST QUESTION, I can upgrade my nail with 3 ||pale ore||. Is this something I should’ve been able to get by now and just missed or is it locked behind post game stuff I’ve yet to unlock?

[lyric shadow]

u should ping them

im new i cant help 😭

[pale sail]

@lament lake @acoustic sigil

[acoustic sigil]

You can get them now but it's not stricly necessary to go look for it

[pale sail]

Alrighty I got a bit walled by the ||colosseum|| so I’ll explore a bit and see, Ty again

[acoustic sigil]

||Yeah i'd wait with the 3rd trial until you have every upgrade||

[sinful coyote]

y’all how do I get consistent with ||absrad||, like I can beat it sometimes but I am honestly horrified at the possibility of me losing it all at ||p5||

[sleek rapids]

Should I just give up on ||radiant absrad|| and try again months later

[earnest zealot]

||is there cornifer in white palace?||

[sleek rapids]

nope

[sleek rapids]

personally I never got consistent with it and just used ||quick focus and deep focus||, helps a lot

but if youre like me and plan to do ||radiant abs rad|| youll have to go through the pain of getting consistent later on

[acoustic sigil]

Is that a good strat for when you are 40 minutes deep into ||p5 ||with a lot of nerves

[sleek rapids]

it kinda is, you can get hit more with less consequences

[rich vine]

Until you start panic healing

[sleek rapids]

Which is why you just need to know the right healing windows

[split fox]

||Its mostly about learning how to dodge all the attacks and how to deal with them lapping over eachother
And go fast on the climb, if you go slow and steady to try and dodge you will 100% get hit||

[sinful coyote]

Gotta do it before skong

[drowsy yarrow]

The trick is to prepare for possible move combos instead of just reacting. For example, if there's a ||light wall|| coming and you know ||absrad|| is about to throw another move, you can ||ddark|| just in case the other move is a ||beam burst||. You can stay low to the ground to play around ||sword rain||. You can ||ddark|| in her face if she might use ||sword burst|| on you during platform phase. Also the final phase can be made 100% consistent.

[pale anvil]

||Which dream boss should I do in order to get the remaining essence for upgraded dream nail?
Options:
Failed Champion
Soul Tyrant
White defender||

Yes also censor your message

[worldly shore]

||i just beat the soul master, am i supposed to go to crystal next?||

[worldly shore]

i got it

ty

[pale anvil]

||Now I will warn you before you go to crystal remember to buy the Luma fly lantern in Slys shop. It will greatly help with one hard room there.||

[ebon copper]

they are about the same difficulty with ||failed champ|| being possible to 🧀

so prob him

[pale anvil]

I just figured out how to cheese him and won

||Now I can fight radiance :D||

[ebon copper]

[manic abyss]

Any tips for ||rad hive||?

[stoic cedar]

||for this fight u just need to know when hive knight is about to attack so u know when to start dodging and when to start punishing. and for the spike balls, the spike balls always go off from the lowest spike ball (in terms of vertical positioning) to the highest spike ball. so u should position urself to dodge the lowest spike ball, then ddark to dodge the other two. the attack when hive knight starts spawning bees is very easily punishable, u can get a lot of hits in before hive knight goes for a dash attack.||

||also if u stagger hive knight while the bees are still coming down, u should wait out the bee attack as much as possible to minimize the amount of time that attacks are overlapping with the bee attack.||

[manic abyss]

Alr

[stoic cedar]

||u can also hit the bees for soul if needed, its especially safe to do so when u r waiting out a stagger and bees are coming down, u can get a lot of free soul that way||

[digital canyon]

the charm from there is the best for ||pale kingdom ||

[ebon copper]

i have a vid of it

[dreamy marten]

could someone help me with the ||mantis lords|| fight??

[manic abyss]

Now I need help with ||rad lost kin||

[ebon copper]

staying grounded and priorotising the ||ghosts|| helps a lot

[manic abyss]

Ok thx

I almost got it but died to the ||ghosts||

[dense ivy]

uhm guys is this supposed to happen?

[stoic cedar]

||usually the main struggles of lost kin are the balloons and the empty jumps. u usually want to clear the balloons as fast as possible, u can even use spells to kill a balloon and hit lost kin at the same time. as for the empty jumps, all u need to do is to dash out of the way once u know where lost kin is gonna land. dont dash too early since ull usually dash into where lost kin is gonna land||

[dense ivy]

anyone know what I can do about this or...?

[ebon copper]

its a minor bug, it wont carry on to anything important

[dense ivy]

oh okay

is this something common?

in the game

[ebon copper]

havent seen this with a ||dreamer|| yet, but there are a few bugs, especially if you are playing modded

if you really wanna fix how it looks, just going back to the main menu, and starting up your savefile again might fix it

[dense ivy]

okay ty

[dreamy marten]

could anyone give me any tips on how to fight the ||mantis lords||??

[dense ivy]

didnt work xD

unlucky ig

[ebon copper]

if you keep experiencing bugs i heard the most helpful channels are the modding ones

[dense ivy]

will do

[ebon copper]

you just gotta push for it and learn the pattern slowly, you can always come back to the fight if you are feeling overwhelmed

[vast forge]

When one goes vertical and the other horizontal just ||dash|| in the direction opposite of the horizontal one

That's really the only issue appart from the spinny thing, and there are 2 different variants of it

||For the ones that center, just stay in the middle, like the exact middle. And for the one that goes backwards just jump||

kinda the hardest part

[dreamy marten]

what charms should i use

[vast forge]

idk whatchu got

[dreamy marten]

im using ||longnail|| and ||soul catcher||

[vast forge]

probably the best you have ngl

charms aren't the issue

just keep going at it

[dreamy marten]

what about ||fury of the fallen||??

[vast forge]

useless

[dreamy marten]

oh ok

[vast forge]

you'll die a bunch and it's fine

[sleek rapids]

I'm giving up on ||radiant absrad|| idc if Im only one ||radiant|| away from ||rHoG|| this fight is impossible to get consistent on

[vast forge]

nah you just gotta keep trying until you get lucky

don't get burned out fr

tap into the strats

[sleek rapids]

Nah Im already far into burned out, doing ||p5 and rHoG with no long breaks|| is too much for me

The strats don't even help me😭

[vast forge]

focus on ||p5|| bruh

[hoary anvil]

huh, didn't know the ordering

[sleek rapids]

Finished ||p5|| tho

[vast forge]

oh

then take a motherfucking break you deserve it fr

don't touch the game for like a week or 2 and come back to it

[sleek rapids]

Yeah maybe a fresh mind will help me

[dreamy marten]

GOT ONE

WHAT DO I DO

[vast forge]

you've got to be kidding me

[dreamy marten]

IM AT 3 HEALt

[vast forge]

also dw about forgetting how to play and stuff

surprisingly you retain quite a bit of muscle memory

[dreamy marten]

i died:(

i cant bear with 2 ||mantis warriors|| at once

GAIN

AGAIN*

[karmic glade]

the advice i can give you is

focus on dodging

learn their patterns

[dreamy marten]

also

[karmic glade]

and only when you got that down do you start attacking

[dreamy marten]

i have my nail

not upgraded

[golden carbon]

what r u talking about

[karmic glade]

that doesnt really matter right now, you're not really meant to even have it upgraded if you're fighting ||mantis lords||

[karmic glade]

they're fighting ||mantis lords||

[dreamy marten]

oh ok

but still

[golden carbon]

dodge toward the center of the stage when given the opportunity

[neat karma]

||quirrel quite literally says simething along the lines of "if its too hard for you go get an upgrade||

[dreamy marten]

yes

[neat karma]

Youre never meant or not meant to have something

[golden carbon]

you dont have to ||dash|| to dodge the vertical attack, you can just walk out of the way if you react fast enough, ||sprintmaster|| can help

[neat karma]

Ok weird way of saying it but i hope my point gets across

Youre never meant to do something in a specific order or before anything else

Yeah thats better

[golden carbon]

goddammit every time

[neat karma]

Some clear exceptions of course but once youre let free almost none

[dreamy marten]

how the hell did i get to ||queens station||

[neat karma]

Walking i suppose

[dreamy marten]

why do i hear ppl

[pale anvil]

||Bouta fight the sun pray for me chat||

[karmic glade]

what i meant was that most people beat ||mantis lords|| before even going to ||city||

[neat karma]

That is also not true

[karmic glade]

how so

[neat karma]

Because its simply not true

[fossil flower]

ye its tru

its ez

[karmic glade]

once you learn the patterns its just so easy

[neat karma]

Difficulty is incredibly subjective

Whats easy for some is a nightmare for another

You see just about everything in this chat

[karmic glade]

i am haunted by ||zote||

[fossil flower]

yes but ||mantis lord is a very easy to figure out boss||

[neat karma]

What part of my message did you read

Cause it feels like none of it

[fossil flower]

u dont really need||any further progress items to beat it||

[neat karma]

You dont thats true, that doesnt mean that its easy for everyone

Or hard, for that matter

[karmic glade]

i think difficulty is more relative to how advanced in the game you are

[neat karma]

Two things can be at the same time

[karmic glade]

to half this server ||mantis lords|| is easy as well

to the other half, its an evil virus of satan

[neat karma]

Of course the games gonna be easier the more upgrades you get, doesnt mean this is the sole reason why somethings difficult or not

[ebon copper]

id more so say that with a reasonable amount of tries anyone could beat him, depending on the definition of difficulty you stand by, this could be eighter hard or easy

[neat karma]

In the same way bosses are also going to get harder, same thing applies

[fathom creek]

Yea difficulty is incredibly subjective and I'd say skill affects your perspective on a bosses difficulty way more than your amount of upgrades

[neat karma]

Indeed

[karmic glade]

its more relative than subjective

[ebon copper]

this is further reinforced by the fact that all bosses are beatable itemless

[fathom creek]

is every boss beatable itemless? Like ||AbsRad has the light beams that would be undodgeable||?

[ebon copper]

even without any pickups, you can tank 2 hits from that

so ye

[fathom creek]

wouldn't it depend on luck that it doesn't do that attack too many times

[dreamy marten]

whats the best place to farm geo??

[fathom creek]

are you late into the game?

[neat karma]

Depends on what areas you have discovered

[dreamy marten]

beggining

i got in to ||queens station, fog canyon, fungal wastes and greenpath||

[ebon copper]

there is a certain pattern to the ||lightwall attack||, and the chance of there not being a single chance to heal inbetween 3 is quite low

[neat karma]

Probably ||the moss knights in greenpath before hornet||

[stoic cedar]

||well abs rad is not possible itemless, u need wings for climb (claw only is maybe enough too i actually dont know)||

[ebon copper]

wait rll?

[neat karma]

Other than this not much you can do to grind rn

[fathom creek]

ah alright I think I sort of know about this from one of the ||anyrad|| explanation videos where the ||different attacks have "tiers"|| or whatever

[dreamy marten]

i think i killed them all

[neat karma]

Dev here, this isnt possible because if you try it we'll airstrike you.

[neat karma]

||go sit on a bench then go back to the room||

[ebon copper]

ye, and you also can dodge with ||cloud pogo|| ppl say, but ive never fully understood where the safespot is

[neat karma]

Why do you need to grind anyways

[karmic glade]

what do you mean cross

i didnt say its objective

it will be relative to your skill level

[dreamy marten]

||lantern||

[neat karma]

You both didnt specify that and probably dont know thats what we meant by subjective

[ebon copper]

relative would mean that everyone at a certain skill lvl, or progression lvl thinks the same in terms of what difficulty is

[karmic glade]

subjective means subject means individual person

relative means a class of people

[fathom creek]

okay but its not fully relative to your skill level it's also subjective with just your opinions on what's difficult and what's not

[karmic glade]

which is true

[fathom creek]

how?

[ebon copper]

it really isnt tho, if itd be we wouldnt be having the arguement

[neat karma]

Oh youre saying it as in the progression in the game

Not true

Then the cross still applies

[karmic glade]

people that have beaten ||radiance|| would say ||mantis lords|| is easy

people that have beaten just ||false knight|| would say its hard

[ebon copper]

thats a really extreme example tho

[neat karma]

Ive seen people struggle agaisnt ""easy"" bosses but do very well on ""hard"" ones

What kondy said aswell

[ebon copper]

i had no problem with that boss, but struggled quite a bit on ||broken vessel|| on 1st play

its different for everyone

[fathom creek]

whoops

[karmic glade]

oh i see now

im dumb

i was just using extreme examples

[fathom creek]

well glad you were open to other opinions!

[karmic glade]

well why wouldnt i

i was wrong

[fathom creek]

of course some people just aren't

see it too much nowadays

[ebon copper]

if everybody was thinking like that wed have world peace

[neat karma]

Fr

[dreamy marten]

frfr

[hoary anvil]

iirc... ||the final part of abs rad climb requires either wings or knockback boost to reach the platform. also from what i've heard plats requires abs rad to choose to come to the middle platforms frequently enough to be able to out-heal the wall of lights (with void dunk being the strategy to take less damage from it)|| - if you want a real demonstration of itemless skill, ||p5 itemless* *wings on abs rad plats/climb as stated in description https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78vWvZMIENk||

[fathom creek]

this would be so rough to do wow impressive

[hoary anvil]

i agree
-# i may attempt it eventually

[ebon copper]

actually

would the jumps be doable witha dmg boost?

they all seem like really close jumps

tho i have no clue how you would ||dmg boost for every platform on 5 masks|| (you wouldnt)

but the idea seems cool

[hoary anvil]

they did ||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-kLT-22iG4|| later

[ebon copper]

congrats

[frosty ocean]

𝚆𝚜𝚐 𝚐𝚊𝚗𝚐

[hoary anvil]

-# so either ||claw or wings|| seems required for ||5 masks||, and one of them is much more reliable than the other due to the last bit

[ebon copper]

this is kinda cursed

[ebon copper]

fair enough

[dreamy marten]

anyone reccommend some music to play when farming geo?

[frosty ocean]

𝙳𝚊 𝚑𝚎𝚕𝚕

[frosty ocean]

Oh uhhh

[ebon copper]

what do you need geo for?

[dreamy marten]

sure

||lantern||

[frosty ocean]

This is kind annoying

[ebon copper]

have you used he item you got from beating ||false knight|| yet?

[frosty ocean]

Aura of glory :>

[dreamy marten]

he gave you an item?????

[frosty ocean]

Wait what

BRO WTH

[dreamy marten]

BROTHA

[neat karma]

@crystal tide fix your broken bot

[ebon copper]

[frosty ocean]

I said ||spell|| not the word ||spells|| and it counted me as a spoiler

[ebon copper]

all the new progessos in there

[ebon copper]

how tf is the bot supposed to know what you mean when you say ||spell||?

[dreamy marten]

anyways why do you want me to go there?

[frosty ocean]

lol

[ebon copper]

to the right from that area is a place where you can trade your ||relics|| for geo

its the go to place for getting geo fast

[dreamy marten]

HUH

[frosty ocean]

What's the item again uhhh

[ebon copper]

what do you mean?

[frosty ocean]

[main urchin]

||Now we're at 112% (I'm at 107%)||

[dreamy marten]

im at where the boss is

[ebon copper]

do you see that part in the bottom of the green parts?
go down there, you will have to continue going down until you reach the white part, there you get the ||stag|| and go to the right

[dreamy marten]

huh?

do i just go to the ||stag||?

[sleek rapids]

Im just gonna delete the game and not play it for a while, I cannot handle ||radiant absrad||

[ebon copper]

if you have the ||queens station stag||, than yes

[dreamy marten]

i do

what do i do after that

[ebon copper]

who removed my message

like bru

[dreamy marten]

what if you just put everything in ||?

yeah

[ebon copper]

||got the claw too?||

good

[dreamy marten]

and now what?????

[dreamy marten]

i dont have the map

let me go get it

[ebon copper]

the very left side where i pulled the line from is ||queens station||

[dreamy marten]

got the map

i died

I DID IT

what now

why are there bodies on the ground

MY GOD

that jumpscaredme

omg what a cute lil thing

WHAT THE HELLL

[dreamy marten]

where do i go from here?????

MY GOD WHAT IS THAT

IS THAT AN ARMORED BUG

[ebon copper]

you go to the right into the ||city||, until you cant go further right, than you go down, this is a brand new area, so you should 1st explore

[dreamy marten]

my god

this looks beatifull

[ebon copper]

its my fave zone

[dreamy marten]

now mine

||QUIRRELLLLLLLL||

THE MUSIC

where do i go now

to upgrade

I DID IT

i love this

[dreamy marten]

where is the ||stag||

[ebon copper]

its right above the door you came from, but it is only accessable from the right at the start

[dreamy marten]

huh????

[ebon copper]

that should give you a general idea of where you need to look/explore

[dreamy marten]

i dont understand

[dreamy marten]

wdym

[ebon copper]

it means you need to find a way to go get to the right side of whats above where the entrance was

[dreamy marten]

wheres the netrace

entrance

[ebon copper]

go up right from the main lobby room

[dreamy marten]

where the music stops??

what main lobby room

im so confused

i dont have the brain cells for this

[ebon copper]

the room you get to going all the way down from where ||quirrel|| was

[dreamy marten]

ohhhhh

im now at qhere he is

[quaint trench]

Just did ||shade skip|| into ||resting grounds|| and got killed by the big guy
||I had 3000 geo||

What does one do in this scenario

Also I don't have ||simple keys or jiji||

My current best idea is to ||stag to queen's station from salubra|| and then ||get tram pass||

[stoic cedar]

||yea this is a pretty good idea, but u need to have flicked the lever to open the path between blue lake and the rest of resting grounds or else the path is blocked. if u have infected crossroads by chance u can do an infected vengefly skip as an alternative to the shade skip||

[quaint trench]

Also today I learned that you can get the ||wanderer's journal|| near ||queen's station|| without ||cdash|| using a ||thorn skip|| because of hitboxes being jank

Nevermind you don't even need ||thorn skip||

but it's possible

that's fun

[dreamy marten]

can someone help me find the ||city of tears stag||???????????

[stoic cedar]

||u only need claw and dash for this wanderers journal, just wall jump up the right side and at the right moment dash to the right, u can barely make it over to the other wall||

[quaint trench]

Wait will I need to do ||dark deepnest|| from ||mantis lords to tram pass||

[quaint trench]

yeah just found out the normal way

[stoic cedar]

||i dont actually remember, but i think it will be quicker to get tram pass from the top deepnest entrance where the ground breaks below u||

[quaint trench]

Is that the one in ||cpeaks||

[dreamy marten]

can someone help me find the ||city of tears stag||plssss

[stoic cedar]

||the entrance is also in fungal||

[quaint trench]

So you know that room that has ||an elevator with a bunch of platforms that's really big outside||

[dreamy marten]

yeah??

maybe

idk

[quaint trench]

||Take the elevator up, jump out halfway, and head to the right||

||there's an upper entrance||

Go through and just start wandering around, you'll find it

It's like down to the right of ||quirrel bench||

[finite geode]

I'm trying to do ||P5AB, I need advice on the best way to fight xero without losing any lifeblood masks||

[quaint trench]

||Shade soul double hits||, I guess

I would avoid trying to ||shriek|| unless you're 100% sure it's safe

[quaint trench]

Oh the one next to ||spore shroom||

[finite geode]

my main issue is with ||trying to hit him to get soul while dodging the knives||

[stoic cedar]

||i have always just played that fight super safe, dash away from the swords every time they are coming towards u. i usually like to charge a nart when its not convenient to get hits on xero so that i can get good damage when there is an opening||

[finite geode]

||the physics on the swords are so hard to gauge||

[celest meteor]

||does bedwarming work for the delicate flower quest||

[quaint trench]

I’m pretty sure the game hardsaves you or something

I might be wrong

[stoic cedar]

@finite geode this is a reference kill of ||ab xero|| from a ||p5ab|| run i did recently, its not perfect but it should show how safely u should be playing the fight to preserve ||lifeblood||

[finite geode]

||I actually just beat him hitless but still thanks I'll consult it again if I need to||

[stoic cedar]

Nice! I would also suggest watching at least some parts of a ||r5ab run|| to see what they do, they have some good strats that r worth emulating

[sonic sinew]

||do you get anything for dropping your geo here?||

[stoic cedar]

Yea there is a reward if u put enough

[covert scroll]

oh sry

[keen stream]

its also for the %

[covert scroll]

sry dynamo

anyways

im a r3t4rd

||i thought mantis lords were called the sisters||

[keen stream]

yeh

[wise nimbus]

||Tips for overcharmed p5||

||PV|| killed shuu again🐧 arhhhhh

[keen stream]

dont die

i have once again made ||grimm|| puff 4 times

i still dont know why he'd do that

[sonic pike]

Can someone advise me on how to best ||P3, specifically the issue I’m having is specifically with uumuu (???)and god tamer(????) don’t ask me why that’s where my issue lies I’m not quite sure… god tamer is like the hardest boss for me for some reason like I would rather fight the radiance||

[keen stream]

try this strat

@sonic pike

for ||god tamer|| you can just pogo on top of the dude

the rolling dude

[keen stream]

you can do ||umu|| hitless with this strat ngl

[tender gazelle]

||I accidentally killed the nailsmith... Is there any way to return the save?||

[keen stream]

wdym?

[sonic pike]

That’s what I’ve started to do and I’ve had success so I think it’s just a really strange and specific skill issue because ||the tamer keeps jumping into me|| but again that’s prob just a major skill issue

[sonic pike]

I believe no… I think if you want to not then you’d have to start a new save…

[keen stream]

you can go to the back of the dude and spam nail after the intro for a head start

[keen stream]

that's his fate and his wish

[tender gazelle]

sometimes we don't know what is best for us

[sonic pike]

|| does shriek also carry the jelly’s into the boss or is it just shade soul?||

[keen stream]

you can do ||shriek|| but ||shade soul|| is just better

[sonic pike]

Ohhh gotchu

[keen stream]

just stack up your soul before the fight tho

[sonic pike]

|| there’s a break right before uumuu right?? Or was it galien||

[keen stream]

you can ||dnail|| 3 times if you're lucky

[keen stream]

i forgot ... i've been focused on ||p5|| all this time

[turbid beacon]

hello chat

[sonic pike]

Fair lol ||the only reason I even want to beat p3 is because I want to do p4 and fight PV because the fight looks sick||

[tepid meadow]

it is, easily one of the best and most fun fights

[keen stream]

||pv|| is the perfect boss for ||black dash||

[sonic pike]

||it reminds me of Grimm which is why I like it||

[tepid meadow]

wdym by ||back dash|| also i got ||6 bosses on radiant yesterday, tamer, uumuu, marmu, sly, collecter, 1 more i forgot||

[sonic pike]

||bosses that are design around you having shade cloak are usually super fun IMO||

[keen stream]

that ||dash|| that makes you invincible

idk its name

[sonic pike]

||shade cloak||

[keen stream]

fight is way safer if you jump tho

[keen stream]

yeh

[tepid meadow]

also got ||absrad and got only 2 hits, could have gotten ascended status if i started ascended fight, but i started attuned fight||

[sonic pike]

Safer… but dashing thru is way cooler

[keen stream]

you need perfect timing in some cases tho

[tepid meadow]

i will practice ||for about 5-6 more hours in hall of gods then p5 will be a breeze||

[sonic pike]

True.. however… way cooler

[tepid meadow]

i am super confident i can beat ||p5 with my current skills too|| but i just want to be more safer

[sonic pike]

Joking of course I will try to actually beat the boss before doing the fancy stuff

[wise nimbus]

u hit him while ||bowing|| simple

[keen stream]

almost did ||pv|| hitless, but i got hit cause i ||dashed|| a bit late so the cooldown didnt make it

[tepid meadow]

1st ||if you hit him while he bows|| remaining 3 are like phases, all starting at 75, 50 and 25 percent of heath

[keen stream]

nahh... 4 times tho

[tepid meadow]

haha, took me about 2 hours to get ||pv hitless||

[keen stream]

he puffed 4 times

[tepid meadow]

3+1 =4

as he should have ?

[keen stream]

i thought he'd only do 3 no matter what?

[tepid meadow]

btw i learned to puff stun ||grim||

he joke now

[keen stream]

peak strat ngl

[wise nimbus]

Huh

[sonic pike]

Nope if you ||hit him out of bow he does one extra||

[wise nimbus]

||puff stun? ||

[keen stream]

you make him do 2-3 puffs in a row

[sonic pike]

||which is the one you trigger by hitting him during bow and then the normal health ones||

[wise nimbus]

ahh, that could be called a stun

Boring tho

[sonic pike]

Oh oops

[tepid meadow]

wtf

i give up

[sonic pike]

||deep focus quick slash shaman grubsong||

You get ||infinite soul from totems so no worries there||

[remote jacinth]

Didnt you lose ||pop runs|| like 6 times lol

[keen stream]

yeh

i kinda finished ||pop|| 6 times

[remote jacinth]

How long?

My pr is 5min

[keen stream]

like 50 mins smth

[remote jacinth]

Good for first clear ig

[keen stream]

doing ||radhog|| is better than doing ||p5|| and die to ||markoth|| repeatedly

fuck ||oblobbles|| tho

and ||markoth||

[remote jacinth]

Get ||the last one|| noob

[keen stream]

i cant even get past ||markoth||

i did once but died to ||gpz||

[remote jacinth]

Strat is ||narts spell spam||

[keen stream]

my only problem is his 2nd phase

i got no souls left when he shows his 2nd shield

[stoic cedar]

||just dont spend any soul in first phase and u should be able to just spam spells at him second phase||

||and for p5 markoth u should be aiming to enter into the markoth fight with full soul from soul tyrant||

[sand karma]

How do i destroy the black walls?

[keen stream]

you get an ability late game

[sand karma]

In wich region do i find it?

[keen stream]

||abyss||

[sand karma]

Where is it?

[keen stream]

||ancient basin||

[sand karma]

Ty

[keen stream]

you got ||kings brand|| btw?

[drowsy yarrow]

But also practice the 2nd phase with no ||soul|| in ||HoG||. You might have to use ||narts|| in phase 2. Pay close attention to where he's moving and avoid him. If he's camping the middle, just wait on the wall until he moves to a corner.

[sand karma]

Nah i don't

[keen stream]

get that one first

[sand karma]

Where do i get it?

[keen stream]

||kingdoms edge||

[sand karma]

Ty for your Help

[drowsy yarrow]

They can use multiple drop attacks consecutively to force you to the edge, so save ||shade dash|| to return to center. They can sometimes spawn right on top of you when you're near the edge of the platform. You can spam ||ddark|| pretty safely too, which also deals lots of damage.

[stoic cedar]

||after one of the sisters dashes across the floor i usually like to ddark on top of that sister immediately after she finishes the dash since a lot of the time the next sister will be dropping down from above, so ull be able to hit two of the sisters at once. i also like to ddark when two of the sisters dash at the same time (like when they spawn on opposite sides and dash across at the same time) since the third one will always spawn above||

[drowsy yarrow]

You always have good advice achow 👍

I'm trying ||no lifeblood p5ab|| atm. Entered ||GPZ|| with only two ||masks|| and died. I also lost several runs to random nonsense (including ||SoB||).

[stoic cedar]

||dang thats impressive, i dont even think ill be able to get through collector with any sort of consistency without lifeblood lol||

[drowsy yarrow]

I actually really enjoy that fight so I spent a lot of time practicing it. Outside of ||Collector|| and the final 7, I don't think the ||lifeblood|| makes a huge difference.

[stoic cedar]

||eh i also find the lifeblood helpful for oblobbles and for the section right before the last 7, specifically lost kin and no eyes||

[drowsy yarrow]

That's fair. I lost once to ||oblobbles|| once to ||lost kin||, and once to ||traitor lord|| after a bad ||no eyes||

[keen stream]

im going insane

how many times do ||sob|| usually ||dive||

[coarse verge]

tips for|| pv||?

[stoic cedar]

not sure what u mean by this. there are certain patterns in the fight but its up to random chance what pattern they do

[keen stream]

idk if im just unlucky or cursed but when they do that, they do it 4 times or smth

im getting cornered

[stoic cedar]

||oh thats normal for them to dive down from above 3 or 4 times in a row. shade dash towards the center if u r getting pushed to the edge||

[keen stream]

aight

they fucking did it 6 times in a row

the game hates me

im so lucky at experiencing unfortunate stuff

[stoic cedar]

||well usually the pattern is that they all do the dive resulting in 3 dives, but if u get unlucky they can choose that pattern again and do another 3 dives. u just need to react to it accordingly and shade dash when u r getting pushed to the edge||

[keen stream]

u think its safer to pogo in the spikes if that ever happens?

[stoic cedar]

||not really, always shade dash towards the center. u do not want to stay at the edge||

[hoary anvil]

-# i mean the ai will do funny things if you ||climb the wall|| but it's probably not what you want

[keen stream]

i think i need ||steady body||

[hoary anvil]

-# that said i would rule out taking advantage of it to help reset yourself

-# just make sure it works in a way you want it to

[keen stream]

GGS

first column is now shiny

[hoary anvil]

a random shiny is 1/4096 in modern games. this is, of course, assuming you didn't boost it with things like a shiny charm, which would- oh wait not pokemon

[keen stream]

diff game

[drowsy yarrow]

I never even saw a shiny after like 6 playthroughs of the gen 2 and 3 games (excluding scripted Gyarados)

Meanwhile I'm sending my Pokemon Go shinies to the blender for candy because there's too many.

[hoary anvil]

you could send your pokemon go shinies to home into other games

-# although that only works with the modern pokemon games

[drowsy yarrow]

That's just unfair. Shiny odds on community day is so high.

[hoary anvil]

looking it up, the odds for this one are the 1/8192

anyways back to hk helping probably

[hoary anvil]

-# 18 porygons that one time

[keen stream]

im missing ||absrad||

[drowsy yarrow]

You're close to unlocking it. You just need to get consistent at ||Markoth|| and the next 4 bosses

[keen stream]

i think my progress is pretty good since im at 118 hrs playtime

[tepid meadow]

i wonder why no ||markoth ascended|| ?

[tepid meadow]

im at 109 😄

[keen stream]

||oblobbles|| as well

[tepid meadow]

yes why ?

[tame kiln]

Hey guys, Im playing the game again after a long while and I'm missing a single ||mask shard||. What's the easiest one to miss? It's not ||Flower Quest btw||

[keen stream]

random orange juice

[keen stream]

i think its just ||gpz and markoth|| at this point

i have no problem with ||nkg and failed champ|| whatsoever

[drowsy yarrow]

Here's all the ones you can't get from ||sly||

[keen stream]

somehow.... ||markoth|| is harder than most bosses

[tepid meadow]

they easy af, started ||radiant nkg fight, got it first try yesterday||

and the thing is

i used to ||shade dash when he dived and attacked or did his slash atatck||

now i parry

[keen stream]

i jus walk back ngl

take a few step back and nail him or smth

[tame kiln]

I think it has to be ||Enraged Guardian|| I must've completely forgotten about him. Thank you

[keen stream]

if i can at least reach ||absrad||, ||p5|| will be cooked

ima do ||radhog|| first tho

[stoic cedar]

||radhog is way overkill for p5 imo, also uhh technically u cant fully do radhog without having unlocked abs rad||

[keen stream]

semi ||radhog|| ig

or just do the last 5 bosses in ||p5|| ||radiant||

i shouldn't have saved ||zote||

[drowsy yarrow]

||ascended|| should be enough if you don't choke

[hoary anvil]

i mean if you want the complete glory, then doing so was the right decision

[stoic cedar]

||nah its not the true p5 experience without gpz lol||

[hoary anvil]

(i wanted the glory)

-# actually the ended my sibling's las ||p5|| run that i watched

[keen stream]

or maybe i should get the ||p5|| achievement in my other save sinxe that one doesnt have ||gpz||

and jus do the other one when im better at the game

[hoary anvil]

go for glory 💪 💪 💪

-# realistically they aren't the hardest part

[drowsy yarrow]

Also, not having the ||radhog|| tablet be a perfect rectangle would drive me nuts

[stoic cedar]

so true

[hoary anvil]

||nail binding has things like collector that are probably harder anyways||

[keen stream]

i prolly wont do ||bindings||

every time i die to ||markoth|| my balls caves in

[stoic cedar]

||i mean the difference between p5 and p5 with individual bindings is not as large as u may think. once u have the skills to beat p5 then it doesnt take extremely long to get p5eb||

[keen stream]

is it safe to drop down and ||shriek|| below ||markoth||?

im trying to come up with diff ways to kill the dude

[drowsy yarrow]

Is there a reason ||p5eb|| isn't renamed to ||p5ib||? I think ||individual bindings|| is much more self-descriptive than ||every binding|| (which doesn't necessarily imply individually done)

[fickle lotus]

whats the point of ||mask maker||?

[hardy grove]

Mostly yes.

[stoic cedar]

||u can shriek on markoth but keep in mind that shriek can sometimes pull in enemies, so if u r too close to markoth u have a good chance of getting hit if markoth gets pulled in. i heard from somewhere that the direction u r facing when u shriek will affect if shriek will pull in or push out enemies but i dont know too much about it||

[hardy grove]

||p5eb mean each binding||

[hardy grove]

Lore

[stoic cedar]

tbh i just use acronyms that other ppl use, idk

[fickle lotus]

well thats lame lol

[drowsy yarrow]

oh, that's a bit better

[keen stream]

I'll try it tomorrow to test that out as well

I'll also ||rad tyrant|| so i can save up souls for ||markoth||

yall think pogoing ||markoth|| would work as well?

[drowsy yarrow]

That's exactly what I said a little over a month ago

[keen stream]

I'd use both ||mop and longnail||

[drowsy yarrow]

That was my original strategy but I believe it's much harder than using ||narts||

[stoic cedar]

||i found this to be extremely inconsistent and also i think its overall harder than just using narts. since for pogoing u need to keep track of the trajectory markoth is moving, the swords that are flying towards u, and also for markoth's dreamshield||

||for narts u also kinda have to keep track of the same thing but its much more lenient on how u deal with it since for pogoing if u miss a pogo its very off putting, as for narts u can just kinda go where markoth isnt and thats really about it||

[keen stream]

do i get iframes when i use ||dash slash||?

[stoic cedar]

||other than the normal shade dash iframe window, no||

[quaint trench]

||Markoth's dream shield works like a parry right?||

[stoic cedar]

not exactly sure what u mean by this. ||markoths dreamshield is just a thing u can get damaged by. it doesnt even block attacks, its just smth u need to avoid||

[quaint trench]

||Can you hit it for iframes||

[stoic cedar]

||u cant parry the dreamshield||

[quaint trench]

[wary gust]

can you ignore ||sly in the crossroads|| and still get all the way through the game

[stoic cedar]

||yes, although i think a bit of dark room traversal will be required in deepnest||

||im assuming u r talking about thk ending||

[wary gust]

but then does he show up in ||p3|| still ? even though he should be dead

[stoic cedar]

||sly shows up in p3 no matter what, it doesnt matter what u do||

[wary gust]

[shrewd basin]

How on earth do you get consistent at ||absolute radiance||

[keen stream]

btw, can i hit through ||markoths sheild|| if my range is big enough?

[stoic cedar]

||it just takes a ton of practice, its hard to give anything much more specific than that without knowing what specifically u r struggling on. u can try to dodge attacks earlier so that u dont get caught by an overlapping attack in a bad position. ddark also helps a lot because of its iframes, and also it can help clear the spikes||

[stoic cedar]

||yes, markoths shield doesnt really block anything, its just there for contact damage||

||tho i would suggest not trying to go for hits if markoths dreamshield is facing u since ull usually get hit if u try to do that. its safest if u go for hits when his dreamshield is facing away from u||

[shrewd basin]

Yay phase 3

Not moving on to the ||climb|| yeah no that's fine next attempt for sure

It's so annoying cuz sometimes there's really good runs and other times I instadie

[drowsy yarrow]

I'm still a bit inconsistent at the ||platform phase|| tbh. Sometimes the ||orbs|| are so difficult to see.

[tepid meadow]

||p5 bindings or even other bindings|| ?

[keen stream]

just ||p5||

[tepid meadow]

how many ||bindings have you gotten so far||

out of 20

[keen stream]

I've been trying ||p1 with charm and mask binding||

i always die to ||nail brothers|| tho

so 0 out of 20 for now

[tepid meadow]

||do bindings 1 by 1||

dont do 2 at a time or 3 and definitely not 4

[keen stream]

i tried 4 before

i died to that ||soul warrior|| or smth

[tepid meadow]

yesterday i saw a guy was streaming hk and bro had 22 hours but had only ||false knight and hornet|| 😭

[keen stream]

thats fckn madness

getting lost in the game is kinda insane

[tepid meadow]

he had ||wayward compass and map & quill|| but bro still couldnt find the boss room and it was 2 rooms away

😭

and the crazy thing is

he went in opposite direction

not once

but

5 frikin times 😭

[keen stream]

[tepid meadow]

i am not exagerrating

[tepid meadow]

111 hours and i have ||16 bindings|| 😄 ( yes im flexing)

[keen stream]

||ascended oblobbles and markoth|| is insane

[tepid meadow]

why you more impressed at ||ascended markoth and oblobbles than radiant nkg or pv 😭 ||

[keen stream]

||pv and nkg|| is way easier than ||markoth and oblobbles|| ngl

i hate stuff that appears randomly

[tepid meadow]

||but its radiant vs ascended :/||

[keen stream]

fr, i'd rather do ||pv or nkg rad|| 3 times in a row than ||rad markoth or oblobbles|| once

[keen stream]

i can prolly do ||pv and nkg radiant|| but im not sure about ||markoth or oblobbles||

[burnt grove]

do ||gallien||

[shrewd basin]

Frick ||platforms phase absrad||

[tepid meadow]

i'll do im currently grinding ||absrad ascended, i got her with less than 3 hits yesterday but it was on attuned so i didnt get the ascended status||

[tepid meadow]

should probably take me 30 mins at max

[burnt grove]

oof

[burnt grove]

not even that

[keen stream]

30 mins is pretty short

[burnt grove]

use|| unbreakable strenght, quickslash, steady body, mark of pride and shaman stone||

[stoic cedar]

||not having radiant on mmc is kinda funny ngl||

[burnt grove]

you can go ||overcharmed, it's radiant anyway||

[keen stream]

||radiant|| the first column tho

[tepid meadow]

its intentional ||saving it for the last, will come here asking for help one day saying " i got every boss on rad but i m unable get this last one, they will ask for pic, i'll send them 😂 ||

[keen stream]

great plan

[burnt grove]

minor amount of trolling

[stoic cedar]

lol yea i thought as much

[acoustic sigil]

Lol

[trail rapids]

What?

[shrewd basin]

Hit the ||spikes||

[keen stream]

||false knight|| would be funnier imo

[acoustic sigil]

||Fk --> false knight||

[tepid meadow]

na ||mmc funniest||

[shrewd basin]

I can't get to the ||climb||

[tepid meadow]

||practice in hog||

[keen stream]

use a ladder

[shrewd basin]

What do you think I'm doing

[tepid meadow]

||i recommend staying at the lowest platform and dodging attacks until absrad comes there or at the nearest platforms on your side||

hit her that time

[keen stream]

does ||spamming shriek|| even help against ||absrad||?

[tepid meadow]

yes

[keen stream]

ig i dont need to worry that much for ||absrad||

[stoic cedar]

||yea i would actually recommend spamming shrieks when safe to do so (keyword: safe). 4 or 5 shrieks + some nail swings is usually enough to get to sword rain phase||

||thats assuming with shaman stone btw||

[tepid meadow]

||sword rain phase|| ?

[shrewd basin]

Phase 2

[stoic cedar]

||the phase where abs rad goes to the middle and swords start falling down continuously||

[tepid meadow]

the easiest phase

[shrewd basin]

Dead before climb once again

[tepid meadow]

do what i said

stay at the lowest platform

[shrewd basin]

I am

I survived for so long then just died to one of the light balls I hate this phase

Died halfway up the climb this is so hard

[ivory kindle]

|| done pantheon 3 now just 4 nmand 5 left||

[shrewd basin]

Nice good luck

[ivory kindle]

It was just || sly|| was a ||pary battle||

[shrewd basin]

Yeah that's ||sly|| for ya

[fickle jasper]

any tips for the ||radiance||?

okay

I did it

[shrewd basin]

How many attempts

[fickle jasper]

idk, about 10

[shrewd basin]

How do you deal with the || last resort orb barrage||

[fickle jasper]

what is that😭

[shrewd basin]

||Absolute Radiance|| don't worry about it yet

[fickle jasper]

oh okay

I thought you were asking me or smth

[stoic cedar]

||r u referring to the phase after climb?||

[shrewd basin]

Yes

[keen stream]

i just fckn saw ancient ||aspids||

[shrewd basin]

||Primal||

[keen stream]

ancient

mod or smth

[shrewd basin]

Oh

[keen stream]

it looks insane tho

[ebon copper]

you can practice it with the ||double vegefly king fight||, you should ||pogo|| her off screen

[stoic cedar]

||first thing u want to do is that if u have enough soul, do a shriek right after u exit the climb phase and enter the final phase. this will hit abs rad half of the time depending on where she spawns. now, there are a multitude of ways ive seen the final phase done, but two common methods ive seen are pogoing and dash slashes. for pogoing, the plan is to just pogo on top of abs rad until she dies. the idea behind this strat is that the orbs despawn whenever they fly up too high so all u need to do is to dodge the orbs as they fly past u, while following where abs rad teleports. the second way is with dash slashes. its a bit hard to explain in text what exactly to do with this strategy so ive attached a video to show the strat (and ive also attached a vid of pogo strat for good measure). but ill try to explain in text anyways. u want to start at the left platform in final phase, then immediately start charging a nart. then dash off the platform to the left when u see an orb coming towards u (important: do not jump while dashing off the platform, u will need to preserve a dash), double jump, then dash back to the right towards the platform while also releasing the nart (this will be the dash slash). after releasing the nart, immediately start charging another one and repeat the whole thing over and over. the dash slash will only hit if abs rad is in the middle (and sometimes when shes on the left but most of the time it wont). its a bit slow but its consistent and ull eventually kill abs rad if u repeat enough times. ||
i would suggest using ||pogo strat as its way faster than dash slash but dash slash is also fully consistent if u cant seem to get the pogo strat down consistently||
first video shows ||dash slash|| strats, second video shows ||pogo|| strats.

[shrewd basin]

||Do spells work I know you have to finish the fight with a nail hit but do spells work for the final phase before she goes in the middle||

[fathom creek]

yes

[stoic cedar]

||yes they do deal damage, tho based on what kinda strat u doing u might not need spells at all for the final phase (other than an initial shriek)||

[shrewd basin]

Oki thank you

[sage raft]

Hi guys, my 30 hour save was corrupted, does anyone know how I can fix it?

Please

[stoic cedar]

u can try reverting to a backup

?tag savefiles

[languid radish]

Save Files

What do save files looks like?

• Each Hollow Knight save file is a user#.dat where # is the save slot for the file
• You can rename user3.dat to user1.dat to set it to your first save slot
• You can keep a copy of all of your save files by copy and pasting them into a different folder on your computer

Reverting Backups

• Automatic backups are called user#.dat.bak#, where the first # is the save slot, and the second # is the backup number. You will usually have your last three backups
• You restore a backup by deleting the main file, and then removing the .bak# part of the backup version

Modded Saves

• A modded save may also have a user#.modded.json (and similarly named backup). This file and the user#.dat are part of the save

Where are the files?

• On windows, the default path for Save Files is:
  • %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
  • You should just copy and paste that path directly into the File Explorer path bar at the top.
• For other operating systems (and Xbox Games), type ?tag saves into chat

I need a specific type of save file

• Various save files can be found in the "Saves" section of this page: https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/resources
  • If the file you download is a .rar or other archived format, then you will need to extract it with something like 7zip

Editing save files

• MoreSaves: With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the Menu, by going to Options > Mods > MoreSaves
• QoL: Opening a save with QOL installed will create an extra save file called user#.json, which can be edited using Notepad or a similar text editor
• DebugMod: 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: https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/

mb

[fathom creek]

how do u know when he was asking about ||false knight||??

[keen stream]

im stuck at ||p5|| rn

[ebon copper]

i have talked to them a lot earlier

[keen stream]

jus playing mobile ver. in the meantime

[fathom creek]

oh ok

[keen stream]

i cant imagine people doing ||pop|| on mobile

[ebon copper]

i mean you really cant fault the game for being bad to play on mobile

[fathom creek]

yea cus it's not even officially on mobile

[keen stream]

is it??

[sly rune]

It is not.

[keen stream]

i thought its an official port

[ebon copper]

i mean didnt you notice when you downloaded it onto your phone that you really arent in the appstore?

[sly rune]

GG.

[fathom creek]

nope why do u think it's free lol

[keen stream]

i think i saw it in playstore before tho

or i was jus tripping

[fathom creek]

probably a scam or smthing u saw

[ebon copper]

well, it should be taken down

[keen stream]

maybe

[sly rune]

There's a game which uses the main character's sprite for its photos, maybe you saw that.

[keen stream]

i still love the game nevertheless

[fathom creek]

always leeches on the app store lol

[sly rune]

Yeah.

[ebon copper]

100%, they arent a big team, and deserve their game to be paid for

[keen stream]

im willing to sacrifice my mental helth for this game

[keen stream]

i wish they'd make more banger ngl

[fathom creek]

Silksong tomorrow

[ebon copper]

silksong is supposedly releasing this year

[acoustic sigil]

You can use gamepass streaming or steam link

But the free one is very not legal no

[keen stream]

im not a fool but i believe it will

[sly rune]

Something something copyright infringement.

[keen stream]

i wish they'd make a sequel for ||mr. shroom||

[fathom creek]

I mean it's just a fact that someday silksong will be tomorrow which means silksong tomorrow

[keen stream]

it'll be out tomorrow, i feel it

i forgot there'll be a 12% tax here

[sly lance]

How much harder is each ||pantheon if I rescued zote? Is only the 3rd one harder? Is it that much harder that i probably cant finish it?||

[keen stream]

depends on who you fight the most tbh

||p3|| is harder than ||p2|| but not that much

just a bit harder ig

but you'll struggle more compared to the previous ones

combined

[mossy stream]

hey guys does || the hollow knight soul statues at PoP give infinite soul?||

[sly lance]

Is ||p3 the only one affected by zote? Or also p5? I'm just really worried that because I rescued zote at the start of my playthrough I won't be able to get 112 percent||

[keen stream]

||p5|| as well since ||gpz|| appears at the end

[sly lance]

Damn.

Am I fucked then?

[keen stream]

you'll get 112% no matter what

[sly lance]

How

[keen stream]

the whole ||godhome|| is just 4%

||p5|| isn't included to get 1112%

[sly lance]

Oh

[keen stream]

the 108% are in ||hollownest||

||dream warriors, charms, masks, vessels, and bosses|| are in the 108%

[sly lance]

And the 4 is just ||first 4 pantheons?||

[keen stream]

yeh

[sly lance]

Hm okay

[keen stream]

||nail and spell upgrades|| are included here as well

[sly lance]

Yea I'm aiming for the plat and need ||embrace the void and get 112 percent||

[mossy stream]

do i need to reach to ||Abs rad|| in ||p5|| to unlock it permanently ?

[sly lance]

But maybe I'll start a new ||save file just to avoid zote in p5||

[stoic cedar]

||yes u will need to reach abs rad in p5 to unlock it in hall of gods||

[mossy stream]

damn

[stoic cedar]

||rescuing zote does not necessarily mean that he will appear in godhome. U need to have fought gpz in brettas basement for him to appear in godhome.||

[sly lance]

Sadly I did that

||is p3 and p5 significantly harder then? Or is it manageable||

[keen stream]

im doing that rn

||etv|| is a pain in the ass

[stoic cedar]

||it doesn’t really increase the difficulty by a lot but gpz can be a huge chokepoint depending on how familiar u r with the boss||

[keen stream]

||markoth|| as well

[buoyant flame]

What's ||etv||?

Oh wait I can't read

[stoic cedar]

Yes

[keen stream]

i suggest you do each ||pantheon|| and then practice the boss that killed you

[sly lance]

Ok

[keen stream]

by practice, i mean kill them to the point that you become the boss

[fickle jasper]

what is the easiest ||pantheon||?

[fathom creek]

1 or 2

[fickle jasper]

ok

[acoustic sigil]

I'd say 2 yeah

[dense ivy]

is this a normal bug or is it something I can do about in my video settings maybe?

[vivid fog]

what happen to her....

[dense ivy]

I only had this with her

so far

[fathom creek]

yea idk I haven't ever seen this bug

[dense ivy]

anyone else have any idea? x)

[fickle jasper]

it's not normal

[tepid meadow]

she is dominant

[tepid meadow]

restarting should fix

[mystic salmon]

does ||dying in a dream break fragile charms||

[acoustic sigil]

No

[vague cloak]

Depends

[acoustic sigil]

||If you don't get put on a bench at death, it doesn't break||

[mystic salmon]

cool

||time to head all the way to fungal wastes again||

[final nymph]

been fighting watcher knights on ||ascended|| difficulty and i just cant win bruh does anyone have tips

im trying to practice because in most speedruns you fight them without the upgrades you normally have so im not using ||spells||

[thick wing]

i'm gonna be honest, ||godhome|| and the ||pantheons|| are every awesome and all, but i can't help but reminisce about exploring ||hallownest|| again
the pure intensity of the ||bossrush godhome and the pantheons are|| isn't really that fun but i also still do wanna 112% the game so idk what to do now

i'm at 107% rn

i can't help but also ||regret saving zote because i'm pretty sure he'll be fought in one of the pantheons now that he's fucking saved||

[final nymph]

have u checked out mods that make exploring fun again maybe

like randomiser

[thick wing]

no i just wanna play the game from the start again

but i also want my first run to be 112% so

[viral oasis]

I just got || crystal heart|| where should i explore?

(dont worry about spoiling me i already did 112% in this game but i lost my world)

[olive mirage]

Keep exporting until you find the area below ||peaks||

[viral oasis]

||resting ground?||

[olive mirage]

Yep

[viral oasis]

Already went there

[sleek rapids]

Find an area where you can use ||crystal heart||

[viral oasis]

Genius

[sleek rapids]

Its mostly likely somewhere you didn't find

On the bottom of hallownest

[sleek rapids]

Chill I wasn't done talking

[pearl fjord]

How do I consistently avoid ||GPZ's|| stupid balloons?

[sleek rapids]

You can ||fireball|| them from the edge of the arena

[viral oasis]

What is ||gpz|| wait

What are you talking about

[pearl fjord]

Gragon Pall Z

||Grey Prince Zote||

[viral oasis]

Ohhh

[pearl fjord]

they spawn in such random patterns, sometimes they keep me stuck

[sleek rapids]

When in doubt, use ||ddark||

[viral oasis]

I hated him on the ||patheon||

[pearl fjord]

oh

[sleek rapids]

Real, I lost like 3 ||p5|| runs to him

[tepid meadow]

|| absrad's nail stuck in air, tried walking into it and its not just visual bug, the nail is there||

[sleek rapids]

Still says ||radiance|| tho

[tepid meadow]

gives damage

[pearl fjord]

||Hollow Knight is a game||

[sleek rapids]

It happened for me too, reopen the fight

[viral oasis]

Him and ||markoth|| are harder than ||radiance||😭🙏

[sleek rapids]

Agreed

[tepid meadow]

a good boss

||gpz hate is forced||

[pearl fjord]

I don't like him

especially when he ||falls over during his runny-pokey and his hitbox lowers JUST enough for me to miss the nail pogo and take contact damage||

[tepid meadow]

haha happened with me too decent number of times

[bold portal]

when hollow knight will be on sale

[keen stream]

i call it the tickle tickle move

[keen stream]

spring sales iirc

its 400 here in my country

prolly 500+ inlcuding the tax

sliksong would prolly be the same

[thick wing]

average ||godhome|| experience

and its the wrong clip yay

this one

[keen stream]

hitting sideways is safer

[tepid meadow]

you are fighting him wrong

[keen stream]

bro also gets faster if he cant hit you iirc

[tepid meadow]

||i got him on radiant within 10 mins||

what i did was

|| use quick slash, mark of pride, strength, shaman|| and didnt even move

just held up button

and

when he came near

attacked

||mark of pride's extra range always connected my hits||

easy ||rad marmu||

without moving

[keen stream]

i only fought ||marmu|| in ||p5||

just spammed ||shriek|| and won

[thick wing]

i don't wanna do the bosses on ||rad|| all i wanna do is practice for the ||pantheons||

[tepid meadow]

then do them on || ascended || till you start to get them 3/5 times

||pantheons will be breeze||

[keen stream]

or kill them to the point that they cant kill you anymore

[thick wing]

also i'll keep my charmset the same as this, i'm not gonna use ||mark of pride|| because on some future run or boss where it's better to instead use another charm i don't get screwed over

[keen stream]

||grubsong|| in ||pantheon|| is insane imo

[thick wing]

it's a muscle memory kinda deal

[thick wing]

it is

[keen stream]

who would want to get hit multiple times just to use ||grubsong||

[keen stream]

I'd suggest you replace ||soul catcher and grubsong with strength||

[tepid meadow]

||for p2 i recoomend using strength, quick slash, steady body, markof pride and grubsong|| seeing how you ||like grubsong||

explore

[thick wing]

?? i abuse ||spellls||

nail is only required for ||marmu|| because who in their right mind use ||abyss shriek|| for her

[quiet yew]

||im am new at the game and i dont know what to do to progress i am in city of tears||

[keen stream]

not really practical to just use ||spells|| on all ||pantheon|| bosses

[tepid meadow]

explore

[quiet yew]

||i am at the souls santuary, is the correct path?||

[tepid meadow]

||mark of pride + quick slash + strength + steady body|| turns the knight into a killer machine

[tepid meadow]

yes

[quiet yew]

thanks

[keen stream]

and most of the time nail is just better

[thick wing]

yeah but it's also not practical to only use nail for all of them

[tepid meadow]

it kind of is

[keen stream]

i use nail for all of them
