[fathom bison]

Which would those be?

||steel soul||

Ah.

Props, thats a very effective way to deal with spoilers

[keen stream]

and happy couple cause i forgot to do it

[fathom bison]

Just take things slowly.

[royal terrace]

guys what are the must have mods which i first should download?

[fathom bison]

Dont take unnecessary risks

[solid heart]

Ah, the invincibility glitch, I don't know how to do it, but honestly, you shouldn't, even if you're struggling

[trim hawk]

alternatively you can soft cheat

and just || quit to bench ||

[keen hemlock]

I dont want to break my controller

[keen stream]

im rich af

[tepid meadow]

which skip

[keen stream]

to get the ||mask fragment|| there

where you lure the mosquito to pogo off of it

[tepid meadow]

ah idr that

@keen stream you completed ||p5|| ?

or ||markoth, oblobbles, absrad on ascended|| ?

[keen stream]

||oblobbles ascended now and absrad still attuned||

[tepid meadow]

||markoth radiant|| 💀

[keen stream]

that was sheer luck with my pogo strat

[tepid meadow]

still

[keen stream]

he kept shooting on the sides instead shooting above and below me

[tepid meadow]

how many ||bindings you got||

[keen stream]

so it made dodging easier

[keen stream]

8

[static axle]

unless im mistaken i think that you can use mods on a pirated version

[keen stream]

||p1 and p2|| are shiny

[tepid meadow]

i'll come back to hk and ||rad my hog once im done with nine sols|||

[static axle]

i need to comeback to hk and do ||p5|| when im done with ori and the blind forest

[tepid meadow]

ic you have grinded alot during the time i was gone

[static axle]

how long does it take

[tepid meadow]

about 30-40 mins

[static axle]

im kn my tabler rn

[static axle]

i mean ori

[keen stream]

this was easier than i thought, but i have no plans for the rest as of now

[tepid meadow]

play what

@keen stream do you plan to play any other metroidvania games after hk

[keen stream]

@young swan whats the name of the mod

[keen stream]

planning on playing blasphemous tbh

[tepid meadow]

try nine sols

[ebon copper]

you need to make a server for hkmp btw

can do that via hamachi

[keen stream]

after i platinum the game

i also found an upcoming game very similar to hk

[tepid meadow]

that was my plan too but i got little bored of hk

[keen stream]

twas constance iirc

[tepid meadow]

name ?

[static axle]

have you played ori

[ebon copper]

and its trash, its always full of ppl

[keen stream]

theres a demo on it, tried last night, pretty awesome

[ebon copper]

also if you are doing hkmp, you should also set up itemsync

[tepid meadow]

no i will after i m done with hk ||rad hog, (im 70% done), p1-p4 all bindings, getting hunters mark, getting all achievements|| and finishing 9 sols

[ebon copper]

which is the bad part, i dont wanna play with a buch of randos, i wanna play with my friends

i dont wanna see other randos in my game

[keen stream]

will this open btw?

[ebon copper]

and its not like you can turn off the rest of the players

[keen stream]

theres a fckn monster

[ebon copper]

id rather just make my own server

[keen stream]

yeh

[inner hound]

unless you modify your modding API file, i dont think you can play modded on pirated versions

[ebon copper]

you can also see them in the ||lifeblood core room||

[inner hound]

it wont

it's way harder to set up a real server, hosting ingame using hamachi is most often a better choice

[ebon copper]

thats what i was saying

[keen stream]

im stupid

i took the ||lifeblood|| and sat on a bench

[inner hound]

might work but i dont use it so I can't help you with setting it up

[ebon copper]

ive done that quite a few times after unlocking the ||lifeblood||

you dont normally

why do you need that?

[inner hound]

i dont think you can, why would you need it?

[static axle]

is nine sols good

[static axle]

it should

[keen stream]

||gallien|| is ass when im using my very short nail

[static axle]

idk what even is API lol

[ebon copper]

try to do ||2 shrieks|| when he spawns

[keen stream]

i have ||soul binding||

[ebon copper]

than 1

[static axle]

||galien|| gets crushed with ||shriek||

[inner hound]

the modding API file is the file you install on your game files so that it can run mods, it cannot run mods without it

[keen stream]

could've use ||flukenest|| ngl

[ebon copper]

you doing ||eb||?

[static axle]

ah i see (still dont understand)

[keen stream]

for ||p3||, yep

[inner hound]

and I think (but im not sure) that the modding API file checks if your games behaves like a cracked/unofficial version of the game

@keen stream , do you even have Lumafly or Scarab installed (the mod launcher) ?

[keen stream]

yeh

[inner hound]

ok

[opal hedge]

Hi guys

[inner hound]

hi

[opal hedge]

I heard more than one time quick time

[inner hound]

ye?

[opal hedge]

But i dont know how does that work or how to activate it

[inner hound]

what do u mean?

[keen stream]

wdym

[opal hedge]

Like how do you activate quick ||cast||

Is something you activate right

[keen stream]

theres a keybind for it

[opal hedge]

:0

[keen stream]

mine is F

its in the settings

[inner hound]

you should spoiler ||cast||

i use right click for it

[keen stream]

choose one that you feel most comfy

[inner hound]

isnt F too far away to attack while moving around freely?

[opal hedge]

Wait is that a spoiler? :0 But is in the settings

[keen stream]

i dont use it

[opal hedge]

Didnt know that srry

[keen stream]

[opal hedge]

I thought was like a keybind to make the ||spells|| goes insta

[keen stream]

nah

you still need to aim

[ebon copper]

i use right click for ||dash||

[keen stream]

but it comes out quicker ig

[inner hound]

youre right, i never use heal for it, ||quick cast is way better||

[opal hedge]

I normally use wasd and jkl overall

[inner hound]

jkl for what?

[opal hedge]

Like attack ||spell|| and i dont remember the other one

[keen stream]

[ebon copper]

my ||super dash|| is t

[keen stream]

why

t is a bit too far tho

[opal hedge]

I did spoilers bec im not sure

Now sorry

[inner hound]

yes you are required to spoiler any image you send in here

[ebon copper]

ik, i kinda just ended up picking it early and just stuck with it

[keen stream]

how do yall get that high fps

im getting flat 60

[snow steppe]

whats a charm build for ||p4||

[opal hedge]

Vsync

[inner hound]

and he has 144, which is "capped framerate"

[keen stream]

oh..

my laptop is just ass

[trim hawk]

well first you need a display that can do more than 60

psure it just sets it correctly by default anyways

[inner hound]

I would switch ||quick cast and heal|| if you are planning to use heal just for heal, and only ||quick cast for spells||

[static axle]

oooh i see

[opal hedge]

I didnt know that was a thing with more reason i missed the ||hornet skip all the time ||

[trim hawk]

||qc should definitely be more accessible||

[static axle]

i use shift for it

my keybinds are just perfect

[trim hawk]

could have same finger for jump and heal because you can't do both at the same time anyways

[opal hedge]

Gotcha ill do that

[inner hound]

and be the default binding and the recommended binding when you pick up a ||spell|| too

[static axle]

bro has Nvidia

[keen stream]

i just have integrated graphics

[opal hedge]

I have tooons of games that i played this way and i just love it

[inner hound]

me too lol

[opal hedge]

Fps are related on how much fps you can run on your pc not needed Nvidia xd

[static axle]

i have intel family graphics

[opal hedge]

And if your screen can run those fps

[static axle]

have to play in tiny windowed mode 😭

[inner hound]

why?

[keen stream]

i somehow played elden ring on this shit machine

[static axle]

lags too much in full screen i have potato

[inner hound]

did you turn on vsync?

[static axle]

i did 112% on windowed mode at like 360p resolution lmao

[inner hound]

or capped framerate?

[static axle]

yaa i told you i have potato pc

it just cant handle hk graphics

[keen stream]

how

just how

[inner hound]

wow thats way worse than me, even though im on a budget laptop

[snow steppe]

pls someone

[static axle]

i will send a ss someday showing how i gotta play the game lol

[static axle]

do you have all charms

[snow steppe]

yes

[trim hawk]

its surprisingly demanding

[keen stream]

are you confident you can hit them withou ||mop or longnail||?

[inner hound]

I use ||shaman stone, strength, quick slash, steady body, nailmaster's glory||

[snow steppe]

im pretty ass with ||nail arts||

[inner hound]

but depends if you use ||spells|| at all

[trim hawk]

my generic nail build is ||quick slash, unbreakable strength, mark of pride, nailmaster's glory, grubsong||

[snow steppe]

i do

[static axle]

i would prefer ||unbreakable strength, quick slash, steady body, shaman, and maybe grubsong if you like||. if you dont use ||spells|| often then replace ||shaman with MoP as per your preference||. For me this is a 10/10 build and i did all ||4 pantheons|| using this exact build

[trim hawk]

||nailmaster's glory, grubsong|| sometimes swapped out for ||soul twister||

[snow steppe]

aight

ima try

[static axle]

why no ||steady body||

[static axle]

gl

[inner hound]

thats alright for ||p4||

[trim hawk]

I don't want to be too accustomed to it

[snow steppe]

i should probably get used to ||pv|| first

[trim hawk]

but otherwise yeah ||steady body|| really good

[static axle]

||qslash loses a lot of dps witnout steady body||

[inner hound]

depends on your playstyle, I love it but not everybody does

[static axle]

yes

if you reached it, then practice about 50 times

[trim hawk]

I'm ngl I barely play aggressively enough to really get full value anyways

though the bosses I do play aggro enough I can also just upnail

[snow steppe]

50?

im probably gonna get mad before that 50

[static axle]

i use for ||pantheon and bosses|| not for regular play. for regular i need ||gathering swarm||

[static axle]

well 20 then

but better to be safe than die after reaching it

[trim hawk]

with it then it'd be || quick slash, unbreakable strength, mark of pride, nailmaster's glory, steady body||

[snow steppe]

i will just do him until i feel like im gonna beat him

[trim hawk]

I did ||radiant pv|| and then did another ||p4|| attempt

[inner hound]

just practice until you get it consistently, for ||pv i'd consider doing him ascended||

[static axle]

i just dont use ||narts|| at all unless im doing ||sly||

[trim hawk]

its situational for sure

[keen stream]

do him till you can no hit

[trim hawk]

I can't be bothered to use the bench to swap it out mid-run

[static axle]

||ascended|| is good

[trim hawk]

the secret to ||pv|| is that the difficulty plummets once you learn it

its a very consistent fight

[static axle]

its very fun when you get used to it

the graphics, music, patterns are just mesmerizing

[trim hawk]

||I love the free parry sounds||

[inner hound]

I just use ||nmg|| because i dot get hit so ||grubsong is useless, and dream wielder is not something that is used in many bosses||

[ebon copper]

that could be said of every boss

xd

[trim hawk]

not necessarily

some bosses have very high variance

and take way longer to fully learn that

[inner hound]

not ||always for marmu||

[static axle]

nah not ||rad markoth|| that is just pure luck

[static axle]

real

[inner hound]

it can be gotten consistently

[ebon copper]

not true, its just too bothersome to learn, but it can be consistent

[keen stream]

guys

[trim hawk]

everything can be consistent with sufficient practice

[keen stream]

i made a funny discovery

[trim hawk]

just ||PV|| requires not much

responding with jumping kinda deals with everything he has to offer

[keen stream]

thrmaf is fighting normal ||radiance|| and not ||absrad||

[inner hound]

even though if you practice him a lot yu'll get him kinda consistently

[ebon copper]

||marmu|| is also technically consistent, but that is the most rng feeling boss for me too

[trim hawk]

reason I'd advocate for ||radiant PV|| is to just basically remove nerves when you get to it

[ebon copper]

this does not disprove the point that you made earlier

[ebon copper]

once you learn it

[snow steppe]

im ass at this game

[keen stream]

just dodge ||marmus|| first impact so he wont act weird

[trim hawk]

it's a really fun fight though I didn't mind doing it

[snow steppe]

i tried ||p4 and died to white defender||

[ebon copper]

newly i try to|| shriek|| him before he starts any attack

so i need to dodge less bs

[keen stream]

works like a fckn charm ngl

i just spam it till i run out of juice

[trim hawk]

my personal playstyle/approach is to just feel comfortable with everything before doing attempts

well relatively comfortable at least

[cursive escarp]

||do you have tips for pure vessel?||

[snow steppe]

like you can beat all bosses pretty consistently?

[keen stream]

trick your brain into thinking hes just a cool ||thk||

it worked like charm for me

[snow steppe]

dont get hit

[trim hawk]

I did ||radiant|| before doing the ||pantheons||

[snow steppe]

sweat

[trim hawk]

||don't shade dash through him||

[cursive escarp]

until it's too late

[trim hawk]

||respond to him appearing with jumping, pogoing when he dashes or does triple slash, and dashing through the daggers||

[snow steppe]

if he teleports expect an attack

[trim hawk]

||reason to jump is to deal with the black void attack thing easier||

[timber bay]

||thk|| is the boss I've fought the least in the entire game lmfaooo except for maybe base ||radiance||

[keen stream]

i have awesome charm setup for ||pv||

[trim hawk]

||be careful shade dashing through the daggers, if you're too high and close to PV then you'll get hit by the upper daggers||

[ebon copper]

||#hk-help message||

[snow steppe]

can ||the hollow knight really be called the hollow knight since hes filled with infection||?

[trim hawk]

well ||used to be hollow at least||

[snow steppe]

why is hkhelp a spoiler

[trim hawk]

because link

[snow steppe]

a

[timber bay]

link could be to a spoilery message

[ebon copper]

tbf, message refers shouldnt be spoilers

but oh well

[trim hawk]

and these message links are links

[cursive escarp]

||here i can't see if he's gonna dash at me and slash or throw me swords||

[trim hawk]

sound cues are your friend

but also try to keep him on your screen

[keen stream]

touch the wall

[timber bay]

turn around to move camera but dont approach incase hes coming at u

[trim hawk]

but don't waste ||shade dash|| for that

[timber bay]

that works too

[timber bay]

I'm constantly wasting ||shade dash||

[zinc verge]

guys how do I beat ||elderbug||?

[trim hawk]

I mean you don't need it

[timber bay]

i was pretty close to beating him on ||rad|| and then he did the ||tendrils|| which are so hard to practice for

[trim hawk]

but makes ||daggers|| just that much easier not having to actually dodge it

[trim hawk]

||hollow point ||

[cursive escarp]

if i jump there i get touched by the swords and if i dont he slashes me

[timber bay]

run away from him

to the right

more time to react

[trim hawk]

I just jump over him with a pogo

yep basically my approach

[timber bay]

jump and pogo if he comes at you, ||dash if daggers||

[trim hawk]

my early troubles were from ||dashing through him||

don't do that

[fickle jasper]

which ones am I missing?

[timber bay]

me too its all i do and i suck at him

[trim hawk]

or the ||black void|| is just undodgable if you're too used to just ||dashing|| through

also could help to have some experienc with the ||counter parry timing||

can come in clutch

[timber bay]

bet you could ||dash thru with sharpshadow||

[trim hawk]

really depends on your spacing

[snow steppe]

when ||pv|| does the 3 sword attack when i try to ||shade dash through|| i get hit by that part of the sword what goes behind him

[trim hawk]

I don't like being in ||PV's|| face

[snow steppe]

do i need to stand closer before ||shade dashing|| or jump over

[trim hawk]

I find dashing through the ||3 swing attack|| a bit too tight

[cursive escarp]

i only ||shade cloak|| when he parries me

[timber bay]

jump over pogo or use ||sharp shadow||

[cursive escarp]

but outside of that i don't use it

[trim hawk]

I just pogo three times

[timber bay]

fair

[trim hawk]

with 3 parry sounds

[timber bay]

tink tink tink

[trim hawk]

ngl that's the real reason I do it

[snow steppe]

aight

ima try

my reaction speed probably isnt going to let me press A fast enough

[timber bay]

do ur best he's tough

[trim hawk]

only ||dash through|| in emergencies

[trim hawk]

it isn't reaction

[timber bay]

i need to be punished until my body just does it on my own

[trim hawk]

it's a consistent rhythm that you just kinda memorise

[snow steppe]

aight

ima just try

[trim hawk]

the windup is huge so you can react to the attack coming

[snow steppe]

and not check my phone every death

[trim hawk]

and a lot of the time you aren't punished for failing the parry anyways when you're pogoing

[snow steppe]

the windup is like 0,5 seconds

[trim hawk]

sometimes you pogo a bit too high to hit him again but oh well whatever

[ebon copper]

||elder hu and collector||

[snow steppe]

ok ima just be trying until i beat him

maybe

[trim hawk]

really my attempts got way better when I stopped ||dashing through him||

[fickle jasper]

okay ty

[timber bay]

i just be ||quickslashing|| until he attacks and then ||dash through|| and it works fine most of the time...

[trim hawk]

alternatively just hit every parry

[snow steppe]

whats a more nail build

[ebon copper]

the ||dash|| thru him isnt optial at all eighter

just the worse choice overall

[trim hawk]

its a noob trap

[trim hawk]

the standard 3 is enough

[shut bear]

why my resolution aint going anyhow higher

[timber bay]

||strength quickslash... somethign else||

[timber bay]

whats your monitors resolution

[shut bear]

Heh... Hehehe.... 1680x1050

[timber bay]

are you in windowed.mode

[shut bear]

Nope, fullscreen

cursour looks so big

[timber bay]

hmm it should automatically set thats cringe

[shut bear]

As you say

[timber bay]

unfullscreen

test

[tepid meadow]

yes, the artform, the story, the combat system, skill system is good, specially the story ❤️

[timber bay]

like almost 16:10 but not quite

[acoustic sigil]

You can use steam boot options to set a resolution

[shut bear]

Well, i'll take it is how it is

[snow steppe]

how do i dodge the ||down attack with the spikes|| more consistently

[trim hawk]

its just pure reaction

[snow steppe]

yea i can react to it

[trim hawk]

I guess try not to panic twitch?

[snow steppe]

it might just be me trying to get greedy with hits

[trim hawk]

||steady body|| can help for that

[snow steppe]

im using it

[trim hawk]

if you can't reach it in your cell then you can't reach it

[ebon copper]

||#hk-help message||
i go over that attack in the 5th paragraph

[keen stream]

i tried ||ascended pv||, i lost my moves

cause i spent too much time on other boss ig

[timber bay]

I'll try later i wanna see

[ebon copper]

yeah, that happens quite easily in ||godhome||

[keen stream]

lemme send it rq

[jovial granite]

Hey guys i just killed the matins Boss and go into next zone, but after 20 minutes palyong and entering a new room the screen is full black what should i do?

[snow steppe]

matins

yes

[timber bay]

if you can see the immediate area around you thats intended

[jovial granite]

No i ha e the lanter, i hear but cant see

[timber bay]

you have ||lantern||

[jovial granite]

Yea

Is just all black

[keen stream]

here

[snow steppe]

save and quit

then go back into your save

probably will work

[jovial granite]

Would i lose habe killed the boss?

[snow steppe]

huh

[keen stream]

ts is ass

[snow steppe]

i swear it hit u

[jovial granite]

I cant open the meno either

[keen stream]

what attack?

[snow steppe]

alt f4

[timber bay]

every single time man

[snow steppe]

the one with the ||white exploding balls||

[timber bay]

tricked by big ||shade cloak|| to ||dash thru the boss||

[keen stream]

it didnt, my position is perfect there

i thought itd hit me ngl

[snow steppe]

at 37

[ebon copper]

i wonder if this loads
||https://discord.com/channels/@me/782273306665025566/1348055497797927045||

[jovial granite]

So no way to don anything

[keen stream]

fckn misinput istg

[ebon copper]

it doesnt

[keen stream]

oh wait

it wasnt misinput

i ||dashed|| too late on his previous attack

the cooldown didnt make it

[timber bay]

yeah you had refresh but you ||dashed away instead||

i think

[keen stream]

the cooldown didnt make it

[timber bay]

you right my bad

[ebon copper]

if you do that fight with|| fury ||both ||lenght upgrade|| charms are actually really good

[timber bay]

tiny nail ok

||fury overcharm|| strats is crazy

[ebon copper]

it lets you swing at him while not being next to him in the ||pillars attack||

[timber bay]

then you gotta worry about bouncing around

just be next to him and dont waste slots when u could just put on ||strength and shaman||

although ||OC means a lotta notches||

[timber bay]

what would you build with it

[ebon copper]

||#off-topic message||

it helps you attack from relatively far away in the ||pillars attack||

[timber bay]

that speed is CRAZY

[ebon copper]

makes the ||fury|| all the more viable

[keen stream]

im still figuring out how to trigger his 3 hit combo

rn, i think its the distance between me and him or if he's hit or nah

[trim hawk]

wdym by trigger?

[solid heart]

3 hits let's go!! 🔥

[trim hawk]

is the attack choice not random?

[ebon copper]

insane

[timber bay]

he just does it sometimes

[keen stream]

when he blocks, he'd usually do the 3 hit combo

[solid heart]

Wait wrong channel, but still

[snow steppe]

bro the ||spikes what come out the ground|| pmo sm

[timber bay]

no he blocks to 1 slash

[keen stream]

im trying to take advantage of that part

[trim hawk]

the block just he does sometimes when he feels like it

[keen stream]

the one after that

[timber bay]

oh so you dont hit his block

[keen stream]

he'd usually do a 3 hit combo, if not he'd tp away

[timber bay]

and then he does a different attack

oh okay

[ebon copper]

when im not rusty in that fight i just hit that cause why not

[keen stream]

i'd do it on purpose sometimes

but he'd usually follow it up with the three hit combo right away

[trim hawk]

if I feel ballsy enough I go for the parry

[timber bay]

yeah hit him and jump its free

[trim hawk]

usually ends terribly wrong

[ebon copper]

its pretty consistent

[timber bay]

i dont interact with that attack enough to know the timing my ass was ||dodging|| thru everything

[trim hawk]

I've gotta be pretty practiced for it

[ebon copper]

and quite frankly probably the hardest boss im that consistent on

[trim hawk]

it isn't a timing I could just jump in-game and pull off

[timber bay]

if you parry successfully do you then have to ||dash through||

[ebon copper]

||radabsrad|| consistency is just not happening soon

[ebon copper]

no

[timber bay]

how live

he go thru u?

[trim hawk]

if you were close enough

[keen stream]

i'll try ||pv radiant with fury||

[trim hawk]

most of the time though I do it as a backup when I mess up so I just ||dash|| afterwards

[timber bay]

turn around and parry again?

[timber bay]

just for fun

[ebon copper]

its most optimal to ||pogo parry||

you can do what you said too tho

[keen stream]

i used a mod

so its always active

[ebon copper]

bre

[keen stream]

just to see how fast it'll take

maybe a bit slower than ||ascended||

[timber bay]

same amount as ||ascended||? idk the health totals

[ebon copper]

||ascended|| should take a bit less as being able to dmg tank twice helps your dps quite a bit

[snow steppe]

i can do ts

got him down to 25%

[ebon copper]

health totals are the same for ||rad and ascended|| for every boss btw

[timber bay]

okay i thought so

didnt feel different

[ebon copper]

||pv|| has 1650 and 1850

[timber bay]

hi

I'm awake now

ill hop in vc and stream when I'm ready

i use ||quickslash steadybody strength shaman and some other single notcher i forget||

[trim hawk]

fart

[snow steppe]

yo what do i do at ||void tendrils||

[trim hawk]

you should already be responding to everything with a jump

so then its just double jumping it

[snow steppe]

no

i respond with a ||shade dash||

its more comfortable

[trim hawk]

that's the trap

[snow steppe]

than jumping

i got him down to 25%

[trim hawk]

and then the game slaps you in the face

[timber bay]

worst case you jump and THEN ||dash||, ||dash|| is backup

[keen stream]

i stepped too far out in the spike floor move

[trim hawk]

yeah jumping doesn't affect that ability

[snow steppe]

aight ima just go back

this boss seems harder than it is

[trim hawk]

the way attacks are locked away does that

you think you've figured it out and then haha nope

||void tendrills|| is the most notable one

[keen stream]

ts is ass

[trim hawk]

||the circle attack|| is kinda a complete joke

[keen stream]

but you'll see his helth go down fast which is kinda funny
-# reason why ||fury|| is a must

[snow steppe]

ye

[timber bay]

hitless then damage tank

[trim hawk]

there is another option actually

||d.dive||

[timber bay]

truueweewee

[trim hawk]

but you risk potentially not having ||soul|| to use that when you need it if you use it to attack or heal a lot

[snow steppe]

oh what

[trim hawk]

and like, don't

just dodge it normally

[keen stream]

i still dont fckn know how i died

i was safe there, i didnt even move

[snow steppe]

||fury|| activates in ||radiant||

i didnt know

[keen stream]

its a mod

[snow steppe]

oh

lol

ok i go back to fighting

[trim hawk]

he sneezed

[timber bay]

honestly i didnt know you could go intp the ||tendrils|| before they shoot out

[keen stream]

also discovered that ||radiant|| bosses really last a bit longer than ||ascended|| only for a few seconds tho

[timber bay]

that looked strange

[quiet yew]

||someone known a build to kill the lost receptaqule||

[keen stream]

instict drove me to do that

i didnt even know its safe to do

[timber bay]

i literally have no idea what the hitboxes are

mind blown

[trim hawk]

just delayed activation to be generous I guess

[keen stream]

im fckn confused all of a sudden

this is a great discovery

[trim hawk]

it is the wrench in the average player's plan so they don't want to be too mean

[timber bay]

very useful for jumping over him

you can probably even.... ||dash through||

[keen stream]

stfu

i hate them

[trim hawk]

if you're pretty fast to react

or uh ||sharp shadow||

[ebon copper]

their hp is the same

[timber bay]

I'm gonna go do ||oblobbles on radiant|| to flex then beat ||p5||

[snow steppe]

no way the ||white ball explody thing|| killed me

[keen stream]

if the cooldown made it in time, i would've done that

[timber bay]

good charm not better than others

[keen stream]

is it?

[trim hawk]

||radiant|| only lasts longer because you play more passive

[ebon copper]

it is

[keen stream]

demn

[burnt zinc]

||what charms am i missing?||

[timber bay]

you hit it more the first time

[keen stream]

ig im a bit more cautious in ||radiant||, prolly why a bit slower

[ebon copper]

.

[timber bay]

||get all grubs||

[trim hawk]

||all grubs and grimm DLC||

[keen stream]

||grubberfly elegy|| idk bout the other one

[trim hawk]

ass or ass

[keen stream]

yeh

both ass

[snow steppe]

||carefree or grimm baby||

[burnt zinc]

doesnt the DLC cost money

[keen stream]

each cheeks

[trim hawk]

no

[ebon copper]

cmon, why does everyone hate on ||melody||

[trim hawk]

DLC just means downloadable content

[thick wing]

The way you say "all ||grubs||"

[ebon copper]

[trim hawk]

which in practice here just means updates

[snow steppe]

only soundtrack

i think

someone said it a few days ago

[trim hawk]

more like 0% chance to activate

[snow steppe]

||no one remember grimm baby||

[burnt zinc]

||on steam it says the grimm dlc and soundtract together cost $15||

[trim hawk]

well ||grimmchild|| I guess has a 0% chance to hit a shot

[timber bay]

thats soundtrack

[snow steppe]

ye

[ebon copper]

it avgs out to 20%

[neat karma]

Thats the soundtrack

[trim hawk]

nope 0% chance always

[neat karma]

Theres no dlc

[timber bay]

game has free updates they came with your game the empty charm slot is proof

[burnt zinc]

so how do i download the ||grimm|| dlc? i dont see it anywhere for free

[ebon copper]

brother...

[timber bay]

you have it its a side quest

[neat karma]

Its not a dlc

[burnt zinc]

ohhhh ok

[neat karma]

Its an update

[snow steppe]

only true gamblers use ||carefree melody||

[thick wing]

Nah the dlc is included. Dw

[neat karma]

Who called it dlcs? Idk, why did it stick? I know less

[ebon copper]

i love the red sparks

[trim hawk]

technically not incorrect to call it that

[livid ravine]

I’m a true gambler then

[trim hawk]

just over time DLC people assumed to mean paid

[snow steppe]

or you like to waste 3 notches

[neat karma]

Yeah but dlc has a definition already

[timber bay]

"downloadable Content" it is both you just already have. it downloaded

[trim hawk]

yeah, downloadable content

its content you can download in addition to the base 1.0 game

[neat karma]

Sure it can be free and it can be paid, but this is quite literally just an update

[trim hawk]

updates are dlc

[thick wing]

Wtf

[neat karma]

Thats the word not the exact definition, along that, no these arent dlc since theyre not addition to the base 1.0 content, mainly because you literally cannot access that version anymore

They come preinstalled with every copy of the game and you get options to ""downgrade""

[timber bay]

im in General vc

[trim hawk]

the definition of DLC definitely has changed

it's more of an "uhm technically" to call it dlc

[thick wing]

Think why they won't be paid. Literally working day and night and saving everyone's asses in the server and they don't get paid?

[neat karma]

It would only have fit that description way back when the game was in its base update, even then you were still kinda forced to downooad it to get the new versions

We do! Its around 12k$ a bimonthly

Anyway point is, if the button says update then its not a dlc

[snow steppe]

why is ||pv||'s head its own hitbox

[trim hawk]

I do pretty much agree that it's just better to stick with the common definition

[neat karma]

Sure it is also dont randomly ping mods for no reason

I would never lie, ,,

[trim hawk]

perhaps the definition is just a historic thing

[neat karma]

Hi noxie

[mint quiver]

Yeah it's true, though it depends on the position in the server, for example Admins get paid a lot more than the Mods and whatnot

[trim hawk]

not the first time I've seen DLC being used to describe content drops

[mint quiver]

Hey Ismo!

[neat karma]

I will never be as rich as noxie 😔

[trim hawk]

assumedly paid from TC?

[neat karma]

On the other hand i have a sickass radioactive name color

And when the whole team tells you yes who will you ask 💔

No need to do that those are for important stuff

[trim hawk]

well seems like they did anyways

[neat karma]

They will throw you into the sharks

[trim hawk]

yummers

[neat karma]

Running will not save you

[trim hawk]

I can see why you guys get paid

holy shit if I had to deal with this unpaid

[neat karma]

What part of dont ping mods did you not get

Of course we dont who the fuck would pay a bunch of lame-os with three exceptions i wont name to moderate this shithole

I should refrain from commenting

[burnt zinc]

||anyone have ways to get geo quickly if i want to turn fragile strength into unbreakable strength?||

[cursive escarp]

i beat ||pure vessel|| yay

[snow steppe]

cool

[snow steppe]

||colosseum 2||

[trim hawk]

||apartments outside king's station||

[burnt zinc]

whats that

[trim hawk]

kill the big dudes

and bench

[snow steppe]

nvm

[trim hawk]

rinse and repeat

[burnt zinc]

oh the red guys with the shield

[trim hawk]

they drop 50 each, 80 with ||greed||

[ebon copper]

||colo2|| is faster

[neat karma]

Dang

I dont think yall read when they asked "what is that"

[trim hawk]

||colo|| is good if you're fast at them

[neat karma]

🔹 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.

[burnt zinc]

||what is colo 2||

[trim hawk]

||apartments|| is the braindead easy way

[ebon copper]

lol

[trim hawk]

||coloseum of fools||

[ebon copper]

welp

[burnt zinc]

ohhhh ok

[ebon copper]

tbf, you should find that place before trying to get ||unbreakables||

[burnt zinc]

i still havent done those yet but now that i have lots of better stuff i can probably do it

[burnt zinc]

i found them a while ago but i didnt feel like doing it then

[ebon copper]

the 1st 2 are rather easy

[trim hawk]

3rd is just loooooong

[ebon copper]

3rd one can be left for later

3rd one imo is about the same difficulty as ||p3||

[inner hound]

thats supposed to be 20% more with ||greed||, so 60

[trim hawk]

on paper

but it rounds up per type

[inner hound]

and second is optimal

[ebon copper]

yes

||3rd colo|| is prob a close 2nd most optimal, if you are able to do it optimally

but not quite worth the difficulty while being slightly less profitable

[trim hawk]

the other benefit to ||colo|| is you don't feel as miserable doing it

grinding the same room over and over again is well uh grindy

[ebon copper]

also you actually get better while doing ||colo||

[trim hawk]

one downside to ||colo|| is ||greed|| does nothing

[undone hornet]

How can I beat ||hornet 1? She's so fast and I can't keep up with her fast moves||

[trim hawk]

so the gap isn't as huge

[ebon copper]

thats more so a +, since you get more geo while not having to worry about the ||2 notches||

[trim hawk]

just a lack of a potential upside

[inner hound]

try first to see what her attacks are and how to doge them consistently, also, do not get greedy while healing

[trim hawk]

it just means the conventional grinding is pretty close

but again, grindy

[ebon copper]

i mean, its just worse in every way other than being slightly easier

[undone hornet]

How much HP does she have? I just got to know that the beginners nail does 5 dmg

[trim hawk]

best not to think too much about boss health

[inner hound]

I think she has like ||200||

[trim hawk]

more important number is hits for stagger

which sits at 11

[undone hornet]

What is that?

[inner hound]

and if you can, use ||vengeful spirit, it deals a lot of damage||

[trim hawk]

when the boss stops attacking for a bit

[undone hornet]

||it deals like 20 dmg right?||

[trim hawk]

||spells|| are mad powerful early

and ||soul|| past max is wasted anyways

[inner hound]

20 with a special charm, and 15 in normal conditions

[trim hawk]

just I guess like keep enough to heal

[undone hornet]

I only have ||vengeful spiriT|| are there any other ||spells I can get early||?

[inner hound]

no

[trim hawk]

technically but like basically nah

[inner hound]

not that early

[trim hawk]

you need to do funny skips

[ebon copper]

i mean you can do the whole game without doing|| hornet||, but conventionally no

[inner hound]

that harder to do as a beginner than actually beating the boss

[trim hawk]

Yeah

[undone hornet]

I tried those funny skips like ||pogo on the shadows thing , shade ig , I lost 800 geo||

[ebon copper]

its not even close

xd

[undone hornet]

The said I can get the ||dash ability|| which is very good for exploration

[inner hound]

dont do it on your first playthrough, thats just not worth it

[civic dew]

quick question does anybody here know if benchwarping while getting a ||mask shard|| like doesn't give it to you or something cause I just realized I have 2 missing even though I got them all and I can|t think of anything else I even checked if I got them all with the analyzer and I'm running out of ideas of what could have caused this

[ebon copper]

just try more times on ||hornet||

you should be able to figure it out

[undone hornet]

YouTube tutorials are tricky

[trim hawk]

The ||spaghetti|| attack is the game screaming at you to use ||spells||

[undone hornet]

Okay
Ty all!

[ebon copper]

gluck!

[ebon copper]

i mean, your nail is actually long enough...

but ye

[inner hound]

the game gives them to you very early after touching them, so if like you immediately benchwarped thats possible but unlikely

[trim hawk]

Pretty bad idea for a new player lol

[ebon copper]

||hornet|| is super fun to try to be fast on

[civic dew]

well idk really all I know is that the analyzer and vanilla map mod says I have them all but I'm missing two and I have no clue of what to do

[ebon copper]

so much to optimise

[inner hound]

then I think your only option is to edit your savefile

[trim hawk]

The Metroidvana classic of searching every single spot

[ebon copper]

if you give me your gamefile i can just give you the remaining masks

[civic dew]

I would be glad to you will have to guide me through it a little bit but if you would I would be greatful

[ebon copper]

im not 100% sure what this means

[civic dew]

like I want to send it to you but I don't know how to do that exactly

[inner hound]

go to C:\Users\Your username\AppData\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight and select the good file

[ebon copper]

me trying to type this out, but i got 🐌 ed

[inner hound]

if you are on steam ofc

[civic dew]

I should dm it to you right?

[ebon copper]

ye

just drag and drop the savefle

[trim hawk]

Damn the heist for ajk's save file failed

[inner hound]

and use the .modded file if you have it cause thats simpler to edit

[civic dew]

oh

[inner hound]

no wait im dumb dont do it

[civic dew]

well I did both in dm's so that's that

[inner hound]

the text file (userN) is usable i think

[undone hornet]

Where do I go after ||beating hornet!, she took like 20 minutes||

[modest elm]

Any ||unexplored segments of your map currently have means to progress||

This will remain true for the majority of the rest of the game.

[snow vigil]

indeed

use your map

[modest elm]

Consider:||
-Going deeper underground
-talking to Elderbug
-exploring areas you couldn’t access or haven’t checked before||

@undone hornet

[undone hornet]

I did see everything before ||reaching hornet , I unlocked all the rest points and the fast travel thingy+ what will elderbug do?||

[inner hound]

go to places you remember you couldn't go through or jump to

[modest elm]

He would talk about places he’s heard of

Also no, you have not seen everything in previous areas

[inner hound]

and he's just a chill guy

[modest elm]

I know this because you apparently only now just got ||dash||

If you want explicit instruction:||
lower right corner of crossroads. All of it|| @undone hornet

[undone hornet]

||oh I just remembered that green bug in the glass I couldnt save , ty!||

[inner hound]

there are different places you now can get to with ||dash||, but yeah, one of them is crucial

[modest elm]

That’s|| one of about a dozen things you can do in greenpath+crossroads||

I’m leaving the path to get to a new area for you to discover

Just check your map for places you haven’t been - or things you couldn’t do/reach/etc

[ebon copper]

ye, its possible to savedit for switch saves too just a bit more complex to import and export the files

[undone hornet]

||what can they do? + For a different question , I only have 5 hearts / masks , is there any way I can add more or does it not exist in the game?||

[rotund minnow]

yeah just get 4 mask shards, and you get another mask

[inner hound]

didnt know it was possible, i was just talking about the modded json file called like that

[rotund minnow]

nine is the maximum w/out mods

[ebon copper]

ah, makes sense ig

[undone hornet]

How do you get these ?

[rotund minnow]

you just find them around the map

[inner hound]

you find them or buy them at npcs

[ebon copper]

games about exploration, just do more of that

[rotund minnow]

if you're really feeling stuck, the hk wiki is very helpful for locations

[rotund minnow]

but start with this

[undone hornet]

Alr ty!

[inner hound]

but I would recommend not spoilin yourself at all

[rotund minnow]

very true

[modest elm]

Many upgrades are hidden around the world, in shops, or rewards for encounters

Guess how you access them

[undone hornet]

Exploration?

[modest elm]

There you go

Go on git. You have plenty of info

[inner hound]

and remember, try to find hidden places and hit walls in case they are breakable

[modest elm]

The next area you find will more than likely be a very important one to progress through, so don’t be afraid to explore older areas for loot first

[undone hornet]

There's hidden walls??

[inner hound]

yea

not all have a lot of progression behind them, but still, hit everything you can, you might find cool stuff

[ebon copper]

||you will hear a sound clue if a wall is breakable every time you hit it||

[trim hawk]

they also almost all look cracked

[ebon copper]

and than there is ||pop and hornet room||

[vague cloak]

||and dung defender||

[inner hound]

no you can see it

[ebon copper]

lets also add ||nursery room|| at that point

also ||lore room|| after ||soul master||

[inner hound]

and ||lore tablet after pale king||

[inner hound]

but you see the ||crack for nursery room||

[ebon copper]

||shortcut wall|| in ||wp|| too

[ebon copper]

can you?

[inner hound]

yes

[ebon copper]

maybe i remember wrongly

hmm

[inner hound]

you just dont hear the sound, like for ||every dive floor in wp||

[undone hornet]

Who's ||zote? Hee looks like the knight and I just saved him from a big mosquito above hornet's boss location||

[inner hound]

depending on what you think, he will become whether a cool character or a bastard, I like him

but dont worry about him right now

[timber bay]

im also

[lime spruce]

hello gg

[shrewd basin]

My list is now outdated cuz I just beat one on ||radiant||

[timber bay]

yay!

[shrewd basin]

||markoth on ascended is wild|| @timber bay

[timber bay]

it was roughhhhhhh

im trying for ||rad||

but hes gonna stay ||asc||

[shrewd basin]

I tried for 3 hours

[ebon copper]

i mean, you need to be able to pull it off for ||p5||

[timber bay]

i basically cheesed it when he was against the wall i got like 3 ||shrieks||

[hasty yoke]

guys whats a good ||charm build for pantheon 3||

[timber bay]

you do not need to do him on ||ascended|| just the arena 😭 the ||double damage|| is the hard part

[shrewd basin]

I beat him first try without beating him on ||ascended||

[solemn ibex]

New save + this thing became just a minigame for me

[shrewd basin]

On mobile is crazy

[timber bay]

wtf theres a mobile port

[ebon copper]

you shouldnt die from a boss doing ||double dmg|| for ||p5||, you need to count with being in a bossrush where you may go into fights on half hp, hence you need to get consistent on being able to do the bosses with less tanking

[solemn ibex]

Ofc

[neat karma]

@solemn ibex dont.

[solemn ibex]

Don't what?

[neat karma]

There isnt really, the one theyre using is an unofficial illegal port

[ebon copper]

mobile version isnt official, and is completely unsupported

[timber bay]

yeah i figured

like the ports of other games to android like undertale

[solemn ibex]

So i get banned if i posted about it here?

[neat karma]

Dont act like you have amnesia you know what you said, go read rules

[neat karma]

No you wont get banned for having an illegal version of the game

Distributing it is what could get you banned

[ebon copper]

whaever you use normally when fighting bosses

[solemn ibex]

Oh okay

[hasty yoke]

heres the thing my build changes depending on the boss

[ebon copper]

it shouldnt, figure out what works for you and stick with it

[hasty yoke]

uh ok

[neat karma]

A surprising one that has an official port is deadcells, never thought it could even work out but there it is

[shrewd basin]

||failed champ is hard||

[ebon copper]

you need to get to the 1st stagger, after that its much easier

[shrewd basin]

Im trying to do it on ||radiant||

[solemn ibex]

It's just a normal ||false knight|| but on 2× speed

[ebon copper]

in that case ||try to be less agressive, its only worth to attack him after he jumps over you, if he jumps away from you the dmg opportunity is much more complex to execute and much more risky||

[solemn ibex]

Uhh there's nothing about it in the rules

[ebon copper]

||spam him while he starts the tantrum attack, and try to hit as much rubble into him as you can, as those do double dmg, if you do good enough dps, he wont ever come out of tantrum and stagger after you got him staggered once||

[ebon copper]

tbf it should be quite obvious not to promote piracy

[solemn ibex]

I'm not promoting...

I was just showing off my skills

Also I'm not the only one here who uses it

[ebon copper]

than there is no problem i assume

[solemn ibex]

Oki

[shrewd basin]

I've died 23 times lol

[solemn ibex]

It took me 2 weeks for just for an ||attuned absolute radiance||

[shrewd basin]

It took me 6 days

[peak prism]

Im only missing || radiant markoth and absrad in HoG, || any tips for either?

[shrewd basin]

||Practice and git gud also markoth is just absolute bs with no patterns so good luck with that one||

[solemn ibex]

Goodluck for ||markoth||

[peak prism]

I kinda figured the answer was just keep trying, but thought I’d ask just in case

[shrewd basin]

Just practice on ||ascended|| until you can get through hitless most of the attempts for ||Absrad|| pray for ||markoth||

[onyx acorn]

Was in the same situation

[peak prism]

Does || grubberfly’s elegy || help with either?

[onyx acorn]

Kinda does, didn't find it that useful tho due to low damage

[calm relic]

||Grubberfly’s elegy|| is best for ||radiant bosses|| since you’re ||one hit||

But ye, ||markoth just takes a ton of practice and luck||

[onyx acorn]

Yeah || radiant markoth || has been the one I struggled the most against

[peak prism]

I’m also working towards || hitless p5 || as a long term goal, and || I’m at a record of 8 hits, and 2 or 3 usually are from markoth and absrad 😭||

[onyx acorn]

That's probably the hardest challenge in the game tbh, i wish you luck

[peak prism]

Oh I know, but I saw the || all bindings hitless || video recently and thought “how hard could it really be?”

[sterile thorn]

HOW DO U SPOIL A GIF

WDYM

[onyx acorn]

Right now I'm still trying || all bindings p5, for now the furthest I got was markoth ||

[peak prism]

That’s still really impressive

[shrewd basin]

How was that a spoiler lol

[onyx acorn]

I usually watch a lot of pro players and think "yeah I can do it too", then I fail miserably

[peak prism]

That’s so real

But I gotta remember I have like 700 hours of practice and they have like 7000

[inner hound]

teano did it ||(R5AB)|| twice in a row, thats mind blowing

[bleak gale]

WHAT

Das crazy

[onyx acorn]

True, I love hk but I can't imagine spending 7k hours on it

[peak prism]

That’s bonkers bro XD

[inner hound]

he also recently did ||p5AB|| with just ||wings, nothing else (spells, nail upgrades, other movement abilities)||

[bleak gale]

I think there's an ||r5|| discord server

They might have tips for you

[onyx acorn]

That's incredible

As of now I'm just practicing bosses

[inner hound]

so a nail that does ||4 damage and nothing else i think||

[onyx acorn]

He's insane

[inner hound]

yes, definitely

[bleak gale]

||nail arts allowed?||

[onyx acorn]

I don't know how he can find the patience to do something like that

[onyx acorn]

I hope so

[bleak gale]

I think teano is probably the best non Chinese HK player ive seen

[peak prism]

Oh my god, I feel so insignificant that || I can’t do normal p5 with everything||

||*hitless||

[bleak gale]

Nah it's still really hard

He's like one of the best players in the world lol

Even for his playtime he's really good

[inner hound]

I think hes the best i know about, even better than yihou

[bleak gale]

Wjlff did ||r5ab base nail and white spells||

[inner hound]

no

[onyx acorn]

It's still crazy hard

[bleak gale]

Which is imo the hardest ever done in the game

It's ||r5ab but you have less than half the damage pretty much||

||and shriek has much less range which matters a fair bit||

[inner hound]

||like your loadout in kings pass, debuffed by bindings, and wings||

[bleak gale]

Uh huh

[peak prism]

The amount of time that you’d lose with each failed attempt, too

[onyx acorn]

Yeah usually for || p5ab I use 1h per attempt ||

And I always die, that's kinda frustrating but lots of fun

[inner hound]

he doesnt have ||spells||, and its way harder than ||r5ab|| his nail ||is 4 dmg instead of 13||

[bleak gale]

I'm sure it is

[inner hound]

the run is 3 and a half hours long, with a moment in ||absrad where he goes down to 1 hp||

[bleak gale]

I'm just saying ||wjlff did r5ab with a 4 damage nail and half damage spells which I find harder since it's around 3 hours long fully hitless||

[onyx acorn]

That's crazy, I can't imagine what would've happened if he died

[lethal flame]

i think the run would've ended

[bleak gale]

True...

[peak prism]

Nah he’d keep going

[bright garden]

yo guys ||which charms should i use for pantheon of hallownest||

[onyx acorn]

It really depends on the play style, || do you prioritize nail damage or spell damage?||

[bleak gale]

Best is a mix of both..

[onyx acorn]

That's what I usually go with as well

[lethal flame]

oh come on

[lethal flame]

unless you refuse to use ||spells|| for some reason, u can't go wrong with ||strength, quick slash, shaman and twister||

[onyx acorn]

My main build is || shaman, quick slash, long nail and strenght||

[bright garden]

aight

ty

[lethal flame]

||long nail|| bad

[onyx acorn]

Kinda got used to it and now it's hard to remove it

Just attemped a || p5ab forgetting I had a couple of mods on||

Needless to say, I lost. At ||modded soul warrior||

[solid heart]

There is?!

[solid heart]

You don't know Teano?

[bleak gale]

I know teano I didn't know he did that

[solid heart]

Teano actually told me he's planning on doing this, he wanted to do ||wings only P5AB, and after he'd do r045 on stream to be world's second||

The things these players do is insane

[cursive escarp]

finally at long last i have 112% hollow knight

now time to platinum it

[onyx acorn]

Congrats

I feel like I've already plateaued. Can't seem to repeat my performance. The more I practice one boss the worse I get at the others

It feels like gaining that kind of consistency would take an eternity

[empty cliff]

what achievements are save file exclusive

[onyx acorn]

|| the nailsmith ones, nkg or banishment and save or leave zote if I remember correctly||

[ancient berry]

Can I still get ||112%|| if I ||banish|| instead of ||kill nkg||?

[amber perch]

yes

[ancient berry]

Ok

[solid heart]

It does, and also it takes another level of natural ability. Because you want it or not, some people are just better at some stuff

But still, ||P5AB|| is huge, and what you're having is something I call first time fluke

You do it and can't re-do it for some time

Specially annoying with ||radiant bosses||

[drowsy yarrow]

To be fair I haven't tried it again with ||lifeblood||, but I figured if I can just get back to ||Zote|| and repeat what I did at that point I'd be fine. I got back to him 3 times, once with full health, but choked each time. And yesterday ||Collector|| was giving me trouble again, even though in the past I was consistent (||7 times in a row with no lifeblood||)

Natural ability is an interesting factor. I think all the best players are both super talented and insanely dedicated to practice.

[keen rune]

||@keen stream Here's a video (scroll down) of radiant oblobbles (charmless). My two biggest tips for this fight are:

• manipulate their positioning
• dodge reactively, not preemptively

Ideally, you want them close to each other, side by side. That's when it's easiest to push them both back. You can just hit the one closest to you, and the other one will keep bouncing off of it. Vertically stacked is much harder to control. Sometimes, they'll move all the way to the top of the arena, which can make it hard to hit them and hard to push them back. Plan ahead so that if they're going to move to the top or you can't push them back, you can move to the other side of them safely.

Cyclone slash is very nice for soul generation, knockback, and dps, but most people just use great slash, dash slash, or normal swings with quick slash and mark of pride. Shriek can deal good damage, and can reshuffle their vertical position. Shade soul does a lot too, and knocks them back, especially when they're stationary. When there's only one left, I like to cyclone slash on its way down, and shriek on its way up.

For dodging, keep your distance, and only move as needed. Most of my deaths were due to wasting shade dash or jumping when I didn't have to. Trick your brain into thinking you have all the time in the world, and it'll feel easier. Also be aware that the infection spit from one oblobble can be obscured by the one in front of it.

bro wrote an essay

[prisma scroll]

I havent gone back to them yet, but from what i can remember ||soul master|| is super hard, any tips on them? I dont have ||double jump|| yet

[drowsy yarrow]

||Radiant Oblobbles tips:

• manipulate their positioning
  • avoid being between them
  • quick slash or cyclone slash the closest one on its way down. Cyclone slash is good for knockback and soul generation
  • great slash, shriek, or switch sides on its way up
  • switch sides if it looks like you might get boxed in
  • shade soul while they're stationary to gain space and deal damage
• dodge reactively, not preemptively
  • save your jump for when you're about to get hit
  • keep some distance to give yourself time to react
  • be aware that spit from one can be obscured by the other

the hardest part of that bossfight is getting to it, if you can get to it, you can beat it

[prisma scroll]

I had to do some bullet hell type crap getting to it, i didnt kill a single enemy on the way

[shut sparrow]

||my main advice would be whenever he shoots orbs that follow you you should always try to dash or walk under them and never jump over them unless they are directly above the ground. If you dash underneath they will hit the ground. If you jump they will continue following you around.
You can easily heal whenever he floats across the arena with the 4 orbs around him if you stay in the middle.
The rest of the attacks is pretty self explanatory||

[shut sparrow]

you should take it slow and kill the enemies

[prisma scroll]

Thanks!

[ebon copper]

it doesnt matter if you kill the enemies, if you can get there on full hp, you are good to go

imo

[prisma scroll]

Ill try to take some of them out so i can get some ||soul||

Like the easier ones

[ebon copper]

k, the room just before does have soul tho, just so you know

[prisma scroll]

The ones that float around and shoot homing projectiles i struggle imensly with
