[keen stream]

it works like charm in ||ascended|| tho

works like charm

[junior belfry]

lmao

oh wai

[keen stream]

fckn corny ahh joke

nooo

im laughing at my own joke

[junior belfry]

fr

[keen stream]

you done with ||p4||?

[junior belfry]

nah

[ruby shuttle]

is it just ||radiant Markoth|| you hate or just generally?

[junior belfry]

BRO

[keen stream]

just generally

[junior belfry]

||also is the attuned version harder than the p4 version or not||

[ruby shuttle]

why?

[keen stream]

i hate him and his moves

annoying to kill

[ruby shuttle]

no

[keen stream]

just the same

||attuned|| is the normal version of the fight

||ascended|| is the cooler

||radiant|| is awesome skills

[ruby shuttle]

||ascended changes the arena for some, makes bossess deal double their normal damage, and gives them more health||

||radiant does all of those, except they just one shot you||

[junior belfry]

aw

alright

[zinc verge]

doing ||radiant|| bosses are one of the most fun shit I have done in the game

[junior belfry]

i wanna be able to ||consistently do pv on attuned||

[ruby shuttle]

youll get there

[junior belfry]

||before i try doing p4||

[zinc verge]

at least beat him once on ||ascended|| before attempting ||P-4||

or if you really enjoy the fight,
beat him on ||radiant||

[snow steppe]

dang ||pv|| is fasr

[junior belfry]

fucking hell man

i always either die from

panic dashing

or dashing too early/late

or from the down slam attack

dawg

FUCKIKNG

[;ASDF'KJGBFDSGAZL;HFGDASKBFGBDS;JIKSBKGDFJPN;

the

counter

😭

[simple island]

are you alright

you seem to have a critical case of fatigue
try to take a break, touch grass, drink water...

[junior belfry]

i just opened the game

[simple island]

if fighting a video game boss is prompting that kind of reaction you need to take a step back, it will make you play better

[keen stream]

you'll do it, i know you can

yeh?

[keen stream]

just fight, dont think

||queens garden|| has a lot of interesting stuff, especially an item that would let you fight a boss

[junior belfry]

ok

first time i got him down to ||tendrils|| i beat him

[keen stream]

pogo is the safest strat

[junior belfry]

||the tendrils r so easy to counter||

[simple island]

there isn't really anything you have to do
usually you kinda just pick an area and try to explore all of it
if you want more precise directions in to where really important items are you can always post a screenshot of your map/inventory

[junior belfry]

2 in a row

tho the first one was much cleaner

i had 1 mask left on my 2nd try

[zinc verge]

now beat him once on ||ascended||

[junior belfry]

hell no

[zinc verge]

it will be an amazing practice
you will get more used to the fight

[junior belfry]

3 in a row

most of the fight was hitless ngl

im getting a lot more used to his attacks

i messed up my rhythm after he entered his 3rd phase

MY FUCKING STREAK

ALL CUZ OF

SOME RNADOM ASS THING

ok im getting pretty consistent

:D

2 in a rowe

[zinc verge]

then try ||ascended||

[junior belfry]

im not ready for that yet vro

[zinc verge]

just do it
you will get more used to it as you do

[mossy stream]

||could i get an another delicate flower from grey mourner?||

[ruby shuttle]

yes

[junior belfry]

i love how

his fucking head damages me for 2

after i stagger him

like

stagger
head drops
deals 2 dmg

[ruby shuttle]

git gud

[simple island]

damn

||i keep fucking dashing into him or making stupid ass mistakes||

btw @zinc verge im doing him in ||asc|| now

[crisp isle]

How ||sly|| Second phase

[junior belfry]

||when he charges at u js walk the other direction and when the attack ends u can sneak 1 or 2 hits depending on how fast u r||

just keep doing that

its very easy once u get used to it

[crisp isle]

I keep dashing into him

Or walking into him

Or not moving at all and then he hits me

[junior belfry]

what diff u doing

[sharp torrent]

this phase is mainly a reaction time check. try to stay in the center, then don't move at all until you see him lunge towards you

[crisp isle]

Sure

[ruby shuttle]

its easier to hit him if you use ||gslash||

[shell wharf]

hello

[junior belfry]

YO YO YO YO

like

@zinc verge

4-5th try idk

||ascended||

[zinc verge]

good
now you are good to go for ||P-4||

[royal oyster]

Do I have to beat ||godhome with all the bindings?||

[acoustic sigil]

For what?

[ruby shuttle]

not for percentage

[royal oyster]

For the ||godhome token thing||

[acoustic sigil]

What do you mean?

[junior belfry]

||what pantheons count towards the %, im on 111% rn the only pantheons i havent done r p4 and p5||

[royal oyster]

Oh yeah the ||godtuner||

[acoustic sigil]

1-4

[ruby shuttle]

||p4||

[acoustic sigil]

||The godtuner doesn't do a whole lot of anything||

[royal oyster]

Well what does it do

[ruby shuttle]

its for bossess to ||"attune them to Godhome"||

[acoustic sigil]

||It shows you what pantheons you have unlocked and glows when you beat a boss you still needed in the overworld||

[royal oyster]

Does it count towards percent

[acoustic sigil]

Getting it is enough

Yes it does

[royal oyster]

But the ||pantheons do?||

[acoustic sigil]

||Pantheon 1 - 4 give each a %. Having godtuner also gives 1||

[royal oyster]

Ok

But I can beat them without the ||bindings||

[acoustic sigil]

Yes

[royal oyster]

This just made my life so much easier

[snow steppe]

i just died to ||oro and mato all bindings||

[royal oyster]

I get stuck on them too

[royal oyster]

You don’t gotta beat them with all the things

For percent

[junior belfry]

lmao

[royal oyster]

The armor got lodged into the wall

[fickle lotus]

||do i need to save zote from the abyss in order for him to be in the colosseum of fools?||

[royal oyster]

Yes

Or idk

That’s how I did it

[fickle lotus]

||i dont want to get GPZ in the pantheon so idk if i should leave him here||

[crisp isle]

If only I was in my rime I wouldn't be meddling with ||sly||

[stoic cedar]

||do u mean deepnest? zote never appear in the abyss||

[fickle lotus]

[junior belfry]

first time beating it frfr

[stoic cedar]

i mean the time doesnt really matter as long as u beat it

unless u were trying to speedrun it

[junior belfry]

yea but i js wanna know if its on the faster/slower side

[junior belfry]

i mean i was trying to do it as fast as i could

i used these charms

to make it as fast

as i could

[runic belfry]

[junior belfry]

hell no

||ss|| sucks

[runic belfry]

mistyped 😭

[junior belfry]

fr

[runic belfry]

[runic belfry]

||ss dashmaster sprint master and uh wayward compass best setup for pantheons||

trust

[stoic cedar]

i mean its an okay time for first time beating it, u shouldnt really care about the time tbh

[runic belfry]

[fickle lotus]

||@stoic cedar does saving zote in deepnest change whether or not he is present in the colosseum of fools?||

[stoic cedar]

||he will appear in colo only if u have saved him from deepnest||

[runic belfry]

fuck

[junior belfry]

it does change whether hes present or not in uh

some other parts of the game

and u also getr an achievemnt

[fickle lotus]

is he a boss there to get the achievement if i dont save him?

[junior belfry]

if u dont save him

[runic belfry]

isnt that during ||vengefly king?||

[junior belfry]

uh

idrk

cuz i saved him both times

[runic belfry]

😭

[junior belfry]

[junior belfry]

save him

||does he still show up in p3 and p5||

[runic belfry]

no i dont think

[junior belfry]

lmao

[simple island]

you shouldn't be thinking too hard about that tbh
||just save him and see the rest of their questline||
some people will argue that technically doing certain things is "optimal" but in doing so they literally rob themselves of content, which is dumb

[junior belfry]

easier ||p3 and p5||

[junior belfry]

[simple island]

(I was more talking to the other person yeah but yeah, unclear from my side)

[junior belfry]

[junior belfry]

[solemn ibex]

You can buy it the ||dirtmouth|| from the shop

[ruby shuttle]

show map

of ||queens gardens!||

you have to go to the second left transition in the tall room after the second arena in ||queens gardens||. then you loop back around in a big circle past ||Marmu|| until you get there

[junior belfry]

of

[empty cliff]

is there anything else to do in the || Colosseum || after doing the || Trial of the Fool ||

[ruby shuttle]

no

[empty cliff]

sad

[ruby shuttle]

did you get the ||simple key?||

[empty cliff]

yes

[ruby shuttle]

and the ||kings idol?||

[empty cliff]

don't know about that

but what does it even do

and the || Hallownest Seal ||

[ruby shuttle]

its just for money

[empty cliff]

or || Arcane Egg ||

[empty cliff]

= worthless

[ruby shuttle]

you sell them to ||Lemm in city for mons||

[keen stream]

is being aggressive the play in ||platform|| phase for ||absrad||?

or should i do it ||no eyes|| way?

[ruby shuttle]

whichever playstyle your better at

[keen stream]

paitence or smth

[keen stream]

im decent at both

[ruby shuttle]

i personally play more agressive

but ive had a lot of practice

[junior belfry]

yippie

i did ||p4|| before doing this guy by himself

😭

[keen stream]

im fckd yall

[junior belfry]

||absrad?||

[keen stream]

yeh

everything is too bright

i cant see shit

[junior belfry]

fr

[keen stream]

adjusting brightness didnt even work

it just dimmed my screen

[ruby shuttle]

moff

[simple island]

yeah it is blinding
and yellow on yellow sometimes can hide info

[keen stream]

is there a way to change its hue?

[sinful coyote]

No

[keen stream]

i alr have a debuff cause of my fckn eyesight

[sinful coyote]

Get the fluke skin fr fr

[ruby shuttle]

one of the reasons its hard is cause you cant see

[keen stream]

yellow on white is fckn madness istg

[sinful coyote]

Turn up sfx

Lower music a bit

All the attacks have unique sfx iirc

[keen stream]

i only have a problem on one attack

n i react too slow

[fickle lotus]

||um i just got the sealed siblings ending but wheres my radiance fight??||

[ruby shuttle]

you ||dreamnail THK instead of attacking||

when ||horntet enters and ties him up||

[fickle lotus]

lol okay

what a prank

[simple island]

mods can help if you are on PC
but the boss is also just really fucking hard, so it is very much normal that you are struggling

[keen stream]

what do you suggest? one that has bright colors and looks hilarious would be awesome

[acoustic sigil]

||BlindRadiance just removes the background||

The eclipse skin looks very cool

[keen stream]

ima rest my eyes for a bit and find a skin that'd help me a lot

i alr did her like 3-4 times and my eyes are alr burning

[fickle lotus]

for the pure completion achievement do u have to beat the boss after 112% or does it not matter if u get 112% after?

[keen stream]

as long as you get 112

oh wait

you have to

yeh

[ruby shuttle]

do any ending

[keen stream]

roll the credits as well

where can i find some skins for ||absrad||?

[ruby shuttle]

not the right server. go to modding help

[fickle lotus]

welp just did ||the radiance ||on my 3rd try

[ebon copper]

do ||p5|| ending for style points

[fickle lotus]

why is the final boss battle so easy compared to some of the side characters in the game

[cursive escarp]

what's the best way to farm geo

[keen stream]

i mean... i think thats not her 100%

[ebon copper]

cause it isnt really the final battle

[keen stream]

||great hoppers||

[fickle lotus]

who is the final battle then?

[idle ingot]

||absolute radiance||

[keen stream]

farm this mf

[cursive escarp]

how do i kill them efficiently

[fathom creek]

||colosseums imo||

[fickle lotus]

yeah im talking about ||absolute radiance||

[keen stream]

stick to a wall and hit em

[fickle lotus]

did it on my 3rd try, and literally easier than some of the side characters

[cursive escarp]

i pogo them on the wall?

[keen stream]

i wanna show you but im doin ||absrad|| rn

[idle ingot]

It's ||radiance|| if it wasn't nerfed by the ||pale king|| shenanigans and etc

[keen stream]

you stick to a wall and let them jump on top of you

and just jump and nail them

[fickle lotus]

what r the ||pale king shenanigans||?

[idle ingot]

you probably aren't

where are you fighting her

[cursive escarp]

oh ok i understand

[ebon copper]

||absrad isnt the same as radiance, its the boss at the end of p5||

[fickle lotus]

in the main story

[idle ingot]

yeah u have no idea what ur talking about

[cursive escarp]

||what's a good alternative for unbreakable strenght||

[idle ingot]

||absrad|| isnt in the ||black egg temple||

[keen stream]

im getting clapped by her

so dw, you'll suffer the same fate

[fickle lotus]

ah okay then i mean ||radiance||

[idle ingot]

||radiance|| is easy cuz she's supposed to not be overly difficult

[keen stream]

yeh

[fickle lotus]

whats different with absolute

[keen stream]

its way easier to no hit ||radiance|| than ||sly||

[fathom creek]

i wouldn't say she's easy easy tho

[keen stream]

way faster

just that

[idle ingot]

she's not decrepitly slow at her attacks

[fathom creek]

also changed attacks

[keen stream]

yeh

[fickle lotus]

is that the hardest boss in the game hands down?

[fathom creek]

yea prob

[fickle lotus]

is there no clear winner

if not who comes close

[idle ingot]

||absrad|| is the hardest boss in its base form

[fickle lotus]

base form?

[idle ingot]

maybe ||radiant markoth|| is harder

[fickle lotus]

absolute isnt base form tho

[fathom creek]

there's like 1-2 other bosses you could maybe make an argument for being aroudn the same difficulty but ||absrad|| is the hardest I'd say

[idle ingot]

but that's not very relevant

[idle ingot]

it is. It's a boss fight of its own

are you arguing this doesn't increase difficulty?

[fickle lotus]

i mean actual boss mechanics, not just artificial difficulty

[fathom creek]

If we're talking ||radiant|| some bosses like ||Markoth|| might be more difficult than ||AbsRad||

[keen stream]

i reached the climb

[forest widget]

how do yall spoil it?

[keen stream]

im getting happier and happier in life

[ruby shuttle]

good luck

[idle ingot]

||absrad|| is a new fight entirely compared to regular ||rad||

[forest widget]

||what do u do after beatin hornet??||

plz

[idle ingot]

no, beating ||rad|| doesn't mean you've beaten ||absrad||

[keen stream]

i died immediately

[forest widget]

sad

[keen stream]

i over ||dashed|| and fell off

[fathom creek]

but what if I beat ||AbsRad|| have I beaten ||radiance||?

[mighty crow]

Technically not, but you’ll be fine with ||rad||

[keen stream]

im almost there tho

[idle ingot]

no, but it does mean you won't find any challenge in it

[cursive escarp]

or at least a usable one

[fickle lotus]

||is it possible to practice fights that arent in the main game in the pantheon like sly?||

[fathom creek]

yes

[fickle lotus]

||is that only if u get up to them in the pantheon or r they there already?||

[fathom creek]

if u get to them

[keen stream]

me eyes are burning

should i use ||flukenest||?

[fathom creek]

||for absrad?||

[ruby shuttle]

you need to go and get the three faces that appeared across your map

[keen stream]

yeh

[narrow gyro]

thanks

[keen stream]

is it too funny to use?

[ruby shuttle]

you dont have to right away, thats just story progression

[narrow gyro]

ok

tnk you so much

[fathom creek]

its not optimal but if u want to ofc u can

[ruby shuttle]

||flukes|| is only good on bosses you can get right up close to

[keen stream]

idk if im tired as a whole or im just ass in this game

[fathom creek]

probably both

[autumn fractal]

breaks always work for me

was struggling on ||p3|| so I went to sleep and I woke up and beat it first try

[tepid meadow]

i took break from hollow knight after i completed ||p5||

i'll return soon

[narrow gyro]

any tip to farm geo, i need ||lumafly||

[keen stream]

i might just be ass in this game

i keep dying to the same boss

[tepid meadow]

who

[keen stream]

||absrad||

[tepid meadow]

i think it took me around 35 tries to defeat her on ||attuned||

and i still havent gotten her on ||ascended|| but im confident if i try for like another 2 horus i'll get her

[keen stream]

idk how many times i fought her now

i reached the climb once tho

n im happy with that

[tepid meadow]

watch videos of different ppl defeating her

[crisp isle]

Yay I did ||p3||

[tepid meadow]

variety is good

[keen stream]

im fckd up

[ruby shuttle]

what charms are you using?

[keen stream]

nails

and ||shaman||

here

[ruby shuttle]

no

[keen stream]

nah

[solemn pike]

|| Am I supposed to be in mantis village before the bossfight in fungal wastes? ||

[keen stream]

still no

[tepid meadow]

use ||soul catcher instead of longnail||

or ||spell twister||

[keen stream]

i dont even use ||spell||

[tepid meadow]

YOU SHOULD

[solemn pike]

Like the main boss of the zone

[keen stream]

for the first 2 phase i dont

[tepid meadow]

||use ddark to get out of tight situations, when found opportunity, abyss shriek her||

[tepid meadow]

omfg

wait

mb

your "phase" is probably different

[solemn pike]

I saw ||hornet|| run somewhere but cant follow her

[tepid meadow]

i consider her having 3 phases

while you ppl probably consider 4-6 i think

[keen stream]

the 1st and the ||sword rain||

[narrow gyro]

where you are in ||halownest||

[solemn pike]

|| Fungal wastes ||

[tepid meadow]

||sword rain is not another phase acc to me but ok|| yea dont use ||spells during sword rain|| but use before that

[ruby shuttle]

yes

[narrow gyro]

follow her

[keen stream]

i cant see shit

[fathom creek]

what you should 100% use ||spells|| in ||sword rain||

[tepid meadow]

not really

swords are super easy to dodge

and

you can get soul to heal

but you wont if you use ||spells||

[fathom creek]

with ||spells|| you can finish it before any ||swords|| even get to come down???

[tepid meadow]

1st swords are super easy to dodge
2nd you can use nail and gather soul for the 2nd phase ( for ||shrieks|| )

and even with nail

that part ends in like 10 seconds

[fathom creek]

you get enough soul for second phase even with using a few ||shrieks|| to instantly finish ||sword rain||

[tepid meadow]

i say only use ||shrieks|| if you ur ||soul vessel is full|| otherwise saving is just better

2nd phase is tougher anyways

getting past it should be the main priority

why waste ||soul|| on easy phase

that just doesnt make sense

why make easy more easy when you can make hard easier ?

[fathom creek]

2nd phase isnt harder tho

its just longer if you dont get lucky with teleports

[tepid meadow]

wdym it isnt harder ?

less ground

the more you wait

the more attacsk you will get hit with

which means

[keen stream]

i downloaded blind ||radiance||

[tepid meadow]

more opportunities

to

[solid heart]

Plats is the hardest phase

[tepid meadow]

get hit

[keen stream]

i cant see shit

[solid heart]

It's where your run lives or dies

[tepid meadow]

DUDE @fathom creek are you disagreeing on purpose

cause i m literally giving reasons for everything i say

[fathom creek]

wdym im not disagreeing on purpose I just think 2nd phase isnt much harder its just longer

[tepid meadow]

listen

IT is harder, it may not be "hard" but it is "harder" compared to 1st

less platform

its longer

which means

more attacks to dodge

which means more opportunities to get hit

[shut sparrow]

guys it's subjective

[tepid meadow]

explain how

[shut sparrow]

now please move the discussion to a discussion channel

[tepid meadow]

less ground

[keen stream]

it depends on who's playing

[tepid meadow]

yes

but

its longer and you got less ground

[keen stream]

I CAN FINALLY SEE!!!

[tepid meadow]

you have more chances to get hit

[keen stream]

i'll do this shit now

aight i played too aggressively

[cursive escarp]

||is there a moment when i can heal vs grimm||

[tepid meadow]

many

[fathom creek]

sure for some people it might be harder but there's also a chance it takes like 10 seconds if the boss teleports on you (whoops replied to wrong person)

[tepid meadow]

||during his spike attack, the time when he turns into a bat and if you are lucky and fast, you can get 1 heal as soon as he starts the pufferish fireball attack, but i dont recommend last one||

[worldly shore]

is there anything actually here?

[tepid meadow]

the background looks like what ?

thats a hint

[keen stream]

yeh

[worldly shore]

i dont get it

[keen stream]

just look at how they wail and cry

[shut sparrow]

||you can dream nail the background for hints||

[worldly shore]

||shreik?||

[tepid meadow]

actually ||wraith|| but same shi

[worldly shore]

||i dont have shriek yet :(||

[solid heart]

You don't have ||wraiths?||

[tepid meadow]

dude ||just use howling wraith while standing at that table||

[worldly shore]

i think

[worldly shore]

||i dont have it||

[tepid meadow]

😭

wtf

[crisp isle]

||normal shriek is in the left most part of fog canyon||

[tepid meadow]

how you dont have ||howling wraith||

[worldly shore]

||bc i havent gotten it??||

[crisp isle]

||Abysall shriek|| is really really good

[tepid meadow]

ok first

go to ||fog canyon, and get THAT and then come back to this place|| the ||howling wraith is here||

[crisp isle]

How do despoilerize an image

Makes sense

[keen stream]

use that flash in men in black

[crisp isle]

I already know where you get it anyway

[keen stream]

im still ass

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

[languid radish]

Something went wrong.

[fathom creek]

yup clearly

[keen stream]

yup, im an ass in this game

i wish luck will be on my side this time

[crisp isle]

It's used to open the door at the ||tower of love||

[shrewd basin]

Died 3 times to the final phase of ||absolute radiance I take too much damage on the climb||

[keen stream]

i cant even reach that phase

[shrewd basin]

It sucks

[keen stream]

but its cool

you're way cooler than me

[shrewd basin]

It's less cool when you've died 238 times

To ONE boss

[fathom creek]

it gets pretty cool eventually though

[shrewd basin]

Nope

[cursive escarp]

nvm ||grimm|| isn't that hard

[autumn fractal]

you’ll see

[cursive escarp]

that's another story

does ||nightmare king grimm|| give some completion percentage

[keen stream]

ye

[shrewd basin]

You can either ||banish the Grimm Troupe or kill nkg they give same completion||

[cursive escarp]

i was at 61 after finishing the game

[shrewd basin]

Well yeah you're over halfway

[cursive escarp]

btw how do i get the last ||charm notch||

[keen stream]

yeh, mine was 21%

[shrewd basin]

Which ones have you collected

[fathom creek]

sure it was

[cursive escarp]

idk

i just have 10

[shrewd basin]

||which charm notches have you collected||

[cursive escarp]

i don't know

lemme chek the wiki

get a key

[shrewd basin]

||kingdoms edge||

[cursive escarp]

in ||howling cliffs||

wait is it in ||howling cliffs||

or did i just forget

[keen stream]

[cursive escarp]

what

[fathom creek]

ok but this isnt ur first playthrough

[cursive escarp]

that's what i was gonna say

[keen stream]

first was 17hrs

but i didnt roll the credits

[cursive escarp]

my first was 19hours but with some afk

[keen stream]

then 21 or 22 hrs when i first beat ||radiance||

[ebon copper]

damn,nice

[keen stream]

ts was at 90% smth tho

i downloaded a mod that'd count how many times i'd die to ||absrad||

[cursive escarp]

oh ||absolute radiance||

nvm

u got to the tower

and open it

what is the name of the key

[ebon copper]

i did the ||speedrun achievement with 14%|| far cry from low% still

[fathom creek]

next do ||low% TE||

[ebon copper]

thats hell, it requires fkin ||stall balls||

[keen stream]

thats fckn awesome

[fathom creek]

yes and the ||bees||

[cursive escarp]

yeah kill that guy

[ebon copper]

nahh, that is not something id ever do

like i use my pc daily, i dont need a game to be running on it afk for 40hrs

[cursive escarp]

?

[keen stream]

maybe i need like a day or two of rest

[cursive escarp]

once

i first played sunday

[keen stream]

i've been playing hk daily now

[cursive escarp]

no saturday actually

but i used to watch a lot of hk content

[ebon copper]

usually helps to give it a day/week of rest

can come back without any mindblock

just gotta push thru being much worse initially

[keen stream]

if i die to ||elder hu|| i'll take a break

i'll take a break

i think ||p5|| squeezed my whole brain

you should get the ||collectors map|| or smth

it'll help you find the ||grubs||

[thick wing]

gg!! on par with the same level of fun as ||mantis lords|| tbh!!

[keen stream]

||traitor lord|| is ass

[thick wing]

i find him fun

[keen stream]

||SoB|| is way funner

[thick wing]

i think bosses are subjective in terms of enjoyment

also, is there a way to fight all the ||mantis lords|| at once?

[acoustic sigil]

Yes, progress in ||godhome ||to find it

It's in the ||royal waterways, left side||

[ebon copper]

hes kinda boring tbh, fights kinda slow

[thick wing]

okay you guys don't have to make me feel bad for finding him fun

[acoustic sigil]

Roughly, you have to go down a bit as well

[thick wing]

you should save whatever this place is for absolute LAST and i mean it

it holds some of the hardest challenges the game has to offer

well, go to the far left side of the ||royal waterways||, specifically look around where the ||nailsmith|| is for a hole if that helps

[ebon copper]

i wasnt trying to

welp

[thick wing]

fair enough ig i don't blame you

i do find his background/lore and the fight in general albeit somewhat slow i can agree it's still fun for me

also LESBIANS

[cursive escarp]

guys how much time do i have to do this stun lock thing with ||failed champion|| for him to die

[acoustic sigil]

||He doesn't take any damage in the stun lock||

||You can just stun lock to get full health||

[cursive escarp]

did they fix it?

[acoustic sigil]

It was never broken

[cursive escarp]

oh

like after the stun lock you do three ||abyss shrieks|| and a ||shade soul|| to get him back down

and i had to do this a lot

[acoustic sigil]

Ohh

[cursive escarp]

was this beacause he is supposed to breeak the ground

[acoustic sigil]

You need to let him finish after doing it three times

[cursive escarp]

ohhhh

that's why

basically if you get him down once the fight is free

[ebon copper]

i do love the lore of it too

[thick wing]

oh my god this fight took me like 10 minutes wtf are you REQUIRED to hit the ||maggot|| when he's vulnerable in order to kill him because for like 10 minutes i kept dishing damage while he was active

[cursive escarp]

i can tp now yay

ima fight ||lost kin|| now

[thick wing]

yup that was the enetire ereason the fight took so long ||i kept dreamnailing the maggot for max soul|| instead of sneaking in a hit or two to get the fight over with, pretty easy boss

[shrewd basin]

One hit away and I die in the void

[stone trellis]

i agree

[keen stream]

not to brag but... i died to ||elder hu||

[quick forge]

any tips for ||watcher knight|| i dont have screenshot for ||charm build|| but im using ||sharp shadow, defenders crest, quick slash, and i think steady body||

[shrewd basin]

I died to ||absolute radiance||

[quick forge]

I know about ||dreamnailing and focus one till low||

im using all ||spells along with upgraded||

[mellow vigil]

|| ddark is your best bet against watchers ||

|| Ypu have to to get sharp shadow ||

[quick forge]

yes

i will start using ||d dark||

i do that that is why i use ||sharpshadow and defenders crest||

eight io think

1 extra ||vessel||

im not really properly trying got down to two left and started rushing but died

i have ||spiral nail||

yes

[shrewd basin]

||Absrad final phase killed me 6 times||

[quick forge]

i have ||quickslash and am using it||

[quick forge]

damn

[keen stream]

i cant reach that phase

[cosmic stag]

hopefully it was in ||hall of gods and not the pantheon||

[shrewd basin]

It wasn't in ||pantheon||

[quick forge]

||https://tenor.com/view/hornet-baller-gif-14029524177706980174||

[shrewd basin]

||do white palace and traitor lord then take kingsoul to the birthplace||

[quick forge]

get ||kingsoul||

[stone trellis]

git ||gud||

[shrewd basin]

I love dying to ||absrad|| 253 times

[neat karma]

@quick forge please dont send random memes or shitposting here

[shrewd basin]

Do you have ||shade Cloak||

[deft glade]

||Shade Dash: The Tutorial||

[neat karma]

Im the only remaining person caring about ethis channel

[deft glade]

Can't get there without it

[shrewd basin]

Oh right yeah

You forget things when you've been in ||godhome fighting one boss over and over||

[deft glade]

||Shade dash through his dash attack, walk towards him for the jump, walk away then shade dash through the scythe slam attack, and stand still (or move slightly forward) for the orange scythe attack||

[thick wing]

this guy...

[quick forge]

are you calling spongus a random meme/shitpost??? unacceptable im leaving this server

[neat karma]

Good riddance

[deft glade]

||Dung Defender undefeated 💀||

[shrewd basin]

Ok?

Go on then

[neat karma]

Were waiting yknow

[quick forge]

i did

[acoustic sigil]

Bluff

[thick wing]

😭 i never ||dung defender|| had a ||dream form|| so when i got to him earlier in ||p4|| i was like woah wtf since when was this guy in the ||campaign||

[shrewd basin]

Ez tbh

[thick wing]

no he's not

[deft glade]

Just go to the side and heal

[shrewd basin]

Same moves just faster

[deft glade]

Hug the wall

[shrewd basin]

I did him first try

[thick wing]

yeah but like he has no healing windows

[thick wing]

cool that helps

[shrewd basin]

You're welcome

[deft glade]

Hug the wall on either side, then heal as much as you want, he can't hit you there (very rare at least)

[shrewd basin]

He was added in ||hidden dreams along with GPZ||

[thick wing]

alright i'll keep mind of that, i wonder what other other bosses arre in ||p4||

[shrewd basin]

The only difference is ||speed and the dung spikes shade dash or descending Dark those to avoid||

[deft glade]

Probably just 3 more surprises for you, assuming you've never done any ||Dream bosses|| in the base game

A certain ||Charm|| can help, but other than that, I already gave you all the advice I can give for him

||Sharp Shadow, found in Deepnest near the tram||

[shrewd basin]

||He has 4 attacks. He will only send out his rings if you're too far away from him. He will dash at you using the sharp shadow you can dash through him and deal one nail hits worth of damage. When he jumps you can dash below or pogo and dash off him when he gets low he will do his shockwave dash through this with shade Cloak and follow up with a descending Dark boom you're done||

[deft glade]

Head to the right of the ||hot spring||, into the ||Garpede nest.|| Find a passageway down. The rest should be obvious.

Ye

[shrewd basin]

Yep

There is

[deft glade]

Lemme circle it on the ||map|| for you

@young swan

Aight

It'll help big time

[shrewd basin]

It's not even ||absrad|| anymore it's the ||fricken climb||

[kind holly]

Dude you didn’t have to send the full map of ||deepnest|| with all markers

[shrewd basin]

Did I ask for your opinion

No

Red Vampire Spoilers
|| Nightmare King Grimm is the optional final boss of The Grimm Troupe in Hollow Knight. He is the Dream form of Troupe Master Grimm. Unlocking his Journal entry requires defeating him in Dirtmouth. While he can be fought in the Godmaster content Pantheon of Hallownest and the Godmaster content Hall of Gods, defeating him there does not unlock his Journal entry. This means that his entry can never be obtained after banishment. ||
Does that mean only when I do the other achievement I can get || 112% ||. Cuz I think he is part of the || 112% ||

[sharp torrent]

either choice gives you the percent

[empty cliff]

ok

which one do I take

[runic belfry]

if u hate urself fight him

(joke)

[empty cliff]

what do I have to do for each one and which is better

[sharp torrent]

as you've identified, you get an achievement for both, so you're expected to do both across two different saves. the rewards you get from either don't influence the decision much. the only thing you could really say is that fighting is better for the immersion

[tepid meadow]

he is not optional if you want all achievements

[sharp torrent]

||what spells do you have?||

[empty cliff]

I know but I wanna know which of the two is better

[sharp torrent]

there isn't one, unless you can share what you mean by "better"

[runic belfry]

i personally would let them stay just to practice combat for later content

then on a second play through ||banish|| them

[sharp torrent]

||some consideration to wait until you have the other upgraded spells; but also you should focus on timing your shade dash against every one of traitor lord's attacks. you can replace a shade dash with a dive every once in a while||

[cursive escarp]

do violence

[runic belfry]

commit die to him

[cursive escarp]

yeah

spam him until he dies

don't heal

[runic belfry]

act like u cant heal whatsoever

or act like if u touch him u die

thats what i did

w mental fr

[empty cliff]

useful for future game

even though the game is probably fully played through

in my case

[empty cliff]

that's a good reasoning

[sharp torrent]

neither are good

[empty cliff]

that's what I thought

[subtle latch]

I’ve been stuck for 3 hours

[sharp torrent]

you could argue that the reward for ||banishing|| is like extremely marginally better

[empty cliff]

if I let them stay now what do I have to do

what do I have to do for each one

[subtle latch]

does anyone know the best way to beat the ||collector|| boss fight in ||love tower||

[sharp torrent]

same as you did for the first two waves

[sharp torrent]

||what nail level and spells do you have?||

[empty cliff]

I watched a tutorial and he is pretty easy after watching that

[runic belfry]

how come ive done ||p2 and p3 but i cant fucking complete p1||

how big of a skill issue is that

also those are ||charms||

||speels are vengeful spirit and the other things with focus/soul||

[sharp torrent]

shrug
are you stuck on the final boss?

[runic belfry]

yes

😭

i just cant seem to beat both of em

like i try to stay outside of both

but then die

[sharp torrent]

||if I recall, my first ever radiant clear of oro and mato was with dash slash spam--dashing away from the attack, then back in to deal damage from a long enough range. ddark is also important to get you out of any tight spot||

[runic belfry]

ive never used a ||nail art in my life and idek how to activate them||

wouldnt ||dash slash|| make me go into them

cause thats how it procs no?

[sharp torrent]

||you dash away first so that you have enough space to dash back in after||

[runic belfry]

ohhhh

im stupid

time to learn how to use this

!

[thick wing]

may ||hallownest's purest of gods and vessels fall||.

[harsh surge]

Is there any way to open those doors?

[ruby shuttle]

the one on the left has a shortcut above you leading back to the otherside

[thick wing]

it's ||p4||, not ||p5||

[ruby shuttle]

the one on the right does not have anything

[harsh surge]

Yes, I found it

[harsh surge]

A door that doesnt open lol

ty

[ruby shuttle]

its not that bad

[thick wing]

this feels surreal

i feel like i shouldn't be fighting ||pure vessel||

i feel like i should leave it be

but if it's ||truly a pure vessel then it shouldn't have feelings, no instincts, no will of mind, no will to live, but to serve||

[ruby shuttle]

but we know its not truly pure

[thick wing]

if it's not so pure then what makes it THE ||pure vessel||

by what father, by who
possibly not the ||godseekers, right?|| they can't do that kind of thing

[ruby shuttle]

it was supposed to be the ||Pure Vessel, but the King got a little attached||

[thick wing]

i wish the ||godseeker|| wasn't in the background just observing but instead gone. i don't think ||pure vessel belongs to the godkeepers||

[thick wing]

that's the ||hollow knight, no?||

[ruby shuttle]

||THK is PV with the infection inside it||

[thick wing]

||trained and grew||, to be sealed in the ||temple of the black egg|| to control the ||infection till the end of time||

[thick wing]

how is it the same ||vessel?||

that doesn't make sense

[ruby shuttle]

one, they look the same and two, lore

[thick wing]

||the hollow knight is gone, assisted suicide||

it can't have been ||reincarnated into the godhome||

[drowsy yarrow]

I always figured the ||dream forms|| are how they would be imagined in their prime

[ruby shuttle]

thats the case for ||PV||

||PV is THK in its prime||

[thick wing]

but, shouldn't that mean that ||the hollow knight should be dream nailed into its own prime instead of radiance||

[ruby shuttle]

no, because the ||radiance has infested THK||

[drowsy yarrow]

Also my headcanon is that the speech about having ||no mind to think|| and other things is just a lie the ||pale king|| told himself to ||ease the horror of what he had to do||

[thick wing]

so ||thk|| was at one point as strong and proficient as ||pure vessel||

[ruby shuttle]

thats talking about the ||vessels||

[solid heart]

It's HK help lmao

[ruby shuttle]

at one point, ||THK was PV||

[thick wing]

that makes sense. it also makes sense why killing ||thk|| doesn't count towards full game completion now

[ruby shuttle]

yeah

its the same case as ||White Defender being dung defender in his prime||

[thick wing]

even if you did, ||the hollow knight's pure form still remains in the dream realm just like every other dream boss||

[thick wing]

and so the same with all other ||dream bosses||

[ruby shuttle]

||dream bossess like Lost Kin, Failed Champ, and Soul Tyrant are more of what they actually were||

||GPZ is how Bretta saw Zote in her head||

[thick wing]

and the others were remnants of their prime

[thick wing]

that makes sense

i feel bad fighting ||pure vessel||

[ruby shuttle]

its like how ||Broken Vessel was actually a "Lost Kin" and so on||

[thick wing]

i don't wanna kill it, just like how i didn't ant to kill ||the hollow knight||

[drowsy yarrow]

Don't worry, he'll kill you first

[thick wing]

i swear this might fuck me up and make me cry like how the main ending did

[cursive escarp]

what

||void heart|| aquired

time for new ||endings||

yay

[thick wing]

now if you ||fight pure vessel which's the hollow knight in its prime, then if radiance inhabits the hollow knight's mind, after being left by her worshippers, left to decay, mustn't she be well out of her prime now? and well... i think you know where i'm getting with this||

[ruby shuttle]

yes, ||Radiance and Absrad are the same person||

[cursive escarp]

ur right

just at its absolute potential

also is it impossible to skip credits

[ruby shuttle]

yes

[thick wing]

i don't see her anywhere

[tribal sandal]

im new here how do you use the spoiler tags

[thick wing]

... she can't do it again can she
