||i cant really help u about ur reaction speed, but what i will say is that u should be pre-emptively jumping right before he even does an attack. if u do this, all u need to do is double jump if u see the void tendrils, and the rest comes naturally||
kill ||dream warrors||
|| Do dream version of bosses you already did ||
yeah always assume he'll do ||void tentrils||
Sounds cues are really good for ||PV|| yeah
Both of his range attacks have really good sounds cues
Just for the ||dagger be careful that you don’t dash only with the sound cue, as the distance between you and pv also affects travel time and thus when you should dash||
Ok
Ok tysm both of u
||daggers don't dash while too high and too close to PV||
or you just ||dash|| right into the upper daggers
It’s killing bosses
Both ||dream warriors and refighting previous bosses by dreamnailing their corpse||
Ok
sorry if this isnt the right channel for this, seeing the problem i have is not actually in game. Im trying to give my friend a save file because he wants to try messing around in || godhome ||, but he hasnt unlocked it. I found the savefile, being "user.dat2", but im wondering if him downloading my save file will delete his previous save files if he has one in that same save slot? also whether i should only copy the user.dat2 to him, or also all the other files that have user.2 in it, such as the json files. Anybody who has transferred save files before know how to do this?
i think you can rename it to 3 or smth
that might work
Hey meii how's it going with ||absrad||
still cant beat her in ||ascended||
alr ill get him to make a backup and try it
thx
So you've ||attuned||
hell yeah
Nice I'm at the same point
almost done with ||radhog||, shes the last one
i keep getting ||pv|| to around 30% but then i die
You mean you done ||oblobbles and markoth||
is it just a skill issue
hell yeah, das why i changed my name 
idk just practice || pv || a bit more, thats what worked for me
Basically save files are really easy
You have a save folder with your saves in it numbered
The game reads the numbered file, and loads that save
If your friend has a file in the 2nd slot, and replaces that file, with your file, yeah their previous file is lost
But they can just move that file over to some other folder, put your save in, and switch the other way around again if they want to access that other file after using yours
Wow
i can get to 30% pretty consistently
if you noticed him not moving at all, thats prolly him about to do the ||tendrils move||
or smth
Feel free to ask if you have more questions
It’s really not hard but if it is your first time it may not be intuitive
im not really used to ||void tendrills|| or whatever theyre called
doing ||steel soul|| rn
yeah idk what worked for me was simply just practicing for like an hour and then i beat || p4 || like 2nd try
thanks this is very helpful
bout to ask if i should go to ||city|| first or ||crystal peak||
So did you beat ||pantheon 5||
|| city, no? ||
hell yeah, the logo thing showed up as well
im considering ||deepnest|| for the ||pale or and tram pass|| ngl, but im not sure bout it
You can’t get to ||peaks unless you have dive or lantern||
Safest thing to do is to go to ||peaks after selling relics to lemm for money, then going back to soul sanctum after getting cdash
Cuz cdash lets you access resting grounds, right side city (through blue lake) and thus pale ores through seer or the basin ore
Which makes sanctum less deadly||
at this stage in the game in || steelsoul?? ||
dunno..
Already done ||steel soul 112%||
maybe if ur just built different but im not like that lmao
try to use ||quick and deep focus|| so you can feel more, makes the ||absrad|| fight a bit easier as well
yeh... das why im kinda confused rn
That's what I do for the final section
probs just go to || city of tears || in my opinion
also in the ||climb phase for absrad|| only jump when you see where the laser would shoot
I sometimes get through hitless other times nope
i can do 1st and 2nd phase hitless if i put my mind into it 
but die in the last phase cause of bad luck
Same
do i siumply just make my friend name all his user2 stuff to user1? orr...
Oskar changed to 112% nice
Im not sure what happens if you have multiple saves named the same
alright imma just try it
Just move the saves out of the save folder
A save outside that folder is not considered by the game
Or rename them random gibberish if you want
The game basically goes
If file in save folder
If file is named userX… then put file at the correct slot
once i ||rad absrad|| I'll start hating on ||crystal peak||
every single enemy there
You probably won't struggle with any bosses at this point. The main thing to watch out for is standard enemies.
like ||crystal hunters||
that is both correct and incorrect
bosses like ||hornet 2 or watcher knights|| can be deadly if you get there under equipped, but you have no reason to do them under equipped
thanks azerod it totally worked
👍
Yeah, missing ||shade cloak|| can throw you off a lot
||markoth|| sucks so much
its gonna be a while before i beat ||p4||
||Don't get too high in the air or you could get hit by swords from above. You can ddark to remove spikes. Shriek is really strong. Make distance between yourself and orbs as soon as possible.
For the platform phase, the bottom platform is safest because you can lure orbs into nearby platforms. Be patient and wait for her to come to a good spot.
For the climb, wait until you see the beam, then decide on a direction to move. Land right as the beam is fading.||
If you have all of them, ||shaman, strength, quick slash, and spell twister|| is good
yeah
||shaman, strength, and quick slash|| are good for everything honestly. They're the three best ||charms|| in the game.
disagree with the orb strats
||you should dash underneath the orbs if youre close enough and its not spawning directly on the ground. it leads them into the ground and destroys them so you dont have to deal with more than one at once||
gn ponder

How many ||abyss shrieks kills markoth in two shields phase ascended||
like 4
with ||shaman stone||
thats if you get all 4 ticks of damage with each one
which is unlikely
so probably 5 practically
:soul_ponder:
I meant don't save your ||dash|| if one is spawning really close to you. But I agree you should try to go under them in the early phases
I usually do a little hop to lure them high so that I can go under
but that only works if you already have some distance from them
guys how do I beat ||nosk||?
Hide at the edge of the middle platform
is this a troll wtf
Why would it be
cause im pretty sure they've beat ||p5||
Yh I thought so too
apple sauce
orange sauce
well i never had this
Oh that seems to be true
||is shaman stone full soul gauge enough to kill markoth||
umm my build is ||grimmchild, heavy blow, spore shroom, unbreakable greed, lifeblood heart and joni's blessing||
so true
with ||spell twister|| yes
otherwise no
unless you mean ||p5/attuned markoth||
that can be killed with ||full soul gauge||
Oh to make it even worse you could add ||glowing womb|| bye bye healing
i hate ||markoth||
||jonis is there||
Join the club
oh wait i can use ||hiveblood|| instead
||jonis, deep focus, quickfocus, unn, thorns surely||
He's got no fricken patterns 😭
||hiveblood is a pure advantage tho||
||thorns is a disadvantage||
how is what what
Stellar fr is playing hollow knight but there's a tariff
||cant heal by focusing||
Clover, what the heck is this?
its peak.
I mean there's only so many places he can be
so technically there's just like a hundred patterns
I beat ||absolute radiance|| but ||Gruz mother|| is too hard
I will admit I get hit on ||gruz mother|| because I play like an absolute dipshit out of boredom
The only pattern ||markoth|| has is that he keeps killing me
guys how do I beat ||false knight||?
get hit and use ||compass||
cut off those fingers
if ||void tendrils|| didnt exist i wouldve beaten ||pv|| already
its kinda hard to get used to them when theyre at the end of the fight
gotta play like they're always active
I did it yayyyyy
its better than literally nothign
so basically
the attack is well telegraphed
pay attention to the sound effect and if void thing appears in front of him or not
also it takes longer than soul daggers to appear
how you do it is jump, ||double jump||, ||dash|| forward and then || descending dark||
aight
good if you don't get hit easily
its good if your good
if you have no souls at that time
just pogo him instead
||void tendrils is the easiest pv attack imo||
you never come close to it activating if you're good
they are only when you learn them
Is ||ascended winged nosk easy||
okay but you don't even need to learn anything you just ||double jump|| and get a few free hits
a common trap is to ||dash|| through ||PV|| instead of jumping so that's what often gets people
yes
once you realise you just need to jump to respond to basically everything the fight is drastically made easier
What should I use for it
anything cause its so easy lolol
fmj
absolutely, its just a weird ||vengefly king||
With ||ascended winged nosk|| I recommend being patient
Nice, which ones are you missing?
||Great Nailsage Sly, Nightmare King Grimm, Absolute Radiance||
ive been trying to beat ||pv|| for 3 hours now 
might be around 4
||void tendrils|| pmo
What's the best strat for ||PV|| an aggressive one not passive one
You're close
so close yet so far
112%. ||pure vessel|| hitless. 92 hours. it's over
||V.tendrils ||might cover the distance
Now do the 5th
my torment begins.
Is ||fog canyon the next area after greenpath? And if so what upgrades should I get before heading to it||
what do you have
Basically the starters kit , ||with the thorns of agony charm and vengeful spirit and soul catcher||
Well you have ||dash then
Considering you have dash,|| you can definitely go there
Though you can also… not
This games isn’t fully linear
Is it adviced to go there ?
And should I get some ||upgrades in my health or something before going?||
Yes, no, if you want, if you can ?
You are overthinking this, try not to walk around with 500 billion geo cuz yeah you may loose it, but besides loosing geo, what bad can possibly happen if you go to a new area ?
Just go to a new area, or visit old ones… just do what you want, you are free, and this game is well made enough that you generally will not be able to access areas too hard for you
And visiting old areas for goodies is never a bad idea (usually)
||Is it possible to defeat Grimm during his stagger, assuming he has 50 health or less?||
Though ideally you keep track of places in old areas you couldn’t explore, and go there when you get a relevant ability
Ok so just explore!
Tysm
Actually don’t know
But I doubt since his ||death animation has them visible in the non bat form
Not sure how such a thing would be implemented
Either stop it from staggering below 50hp, or set its max hp at 1 during stagger||
I keep dying to ||NKG||
do you have a strategy currently that isn't working?
||deep Focus, quick focus and shape of Unn to heal under the bats||
It works for a while but I die
||Jump past the first bat and dash through to Grimm and hit him move ever so slightly either way to avoid spikes dash through him when he dashes towards the knight pufferfish is same as tmg so not really a problem||
If I don't rely on healing I'll die in 3 hits
you using ||narts||?
Get more health first imo
I have 9
How are you dying in 3 then
||ascended||?
4 masks per hit
So ||ascended|| then?
Yep
||Wdym by "dashes towards the knight"||
oops
There's two moves that could be described like that
||narts|| are just completely free for ||NKG||
Which one do you mean can you specify a bit more
almost every attack you only have a small window to get damage in
and the extended range on ||dash slash|| really helps out
||fire pillars|| you can use either ||charge slash|| or ||shriek||
or I guess ||healing with unn||
if you use ||unn|| you can also ||sneak under the fire bats with it||
||for the slash, jump, explode attack, just walk away from him if he spawns on the ground near you. For the diagonal dart down and then across, just dash or walk away and then jump over||
I wouldn't recommend healing much
Yeah that's what I do
Yeah or he could switch direction and hit you if you're too early
if he spawns in the air then anticipate the diagonal attack
and the instant you realise its the pillars start heading towards him slowly
so that by the 4th one you're under him to do a ||shriek||
I walk slowly for the pillars anyway
||shrike|| does massive damage so really helps to sneak them in
I take damage so much to be able to have soul for ||Shriek|| tbh
Yeah use a damage build instead of heal build
mainly the fight boils down to responding in a way that lets you quickly choose between different continuations depending on what move he actually does
Once you learn the fight he's easy to do hitless
Cause all of his attacks are independent of each other so once you learn each you're good
I've beat him 4 times
and please use ||narts|| or the fight lasts like twice as long
I'm not good at using them
yeah that'll kinda depend on what your control scheme is
for me it's very comfortable on keyboard at least for near default
but I can't really say for whatever layout you have
Holding down Y it's not very easy to do
I think people often use bumpers to attack
I use y to attack
Just find out a way to dodge every attack of his.
Also, even a single hit per attack is fine to get the win.
Don't get greedy
There are some charms that come handy, if u're comfortable using them that is.
if you do learn the attacks well then taking longer isn't a huge deal
mainly honestly just ||uun||
otherwise the best is just killing it fast
not really much else cheese
||mop range|| doesn't matter too much
well it does help if you aren't ||narting||
ehh yeah
shuu never personallly used it
shuu meant dmg charms
its not that its good
Like|| ss||
its just that it has something special on the fight
||Narts ||aren't that useful for ||nkg || unless u're very gud at them
I mean I do like ||uun|| personally but I rarely use it because unga bunga charms
very gud is relative
||what should i use to fight grimm||
||Strength, shaman, s.body, & grubsing maybe||
Can switch ||shaman with twister & s.catcher||
gg
uh... you're missing a lot of good charms...
Shh they beat it it doesn't matter
mayhaps
||NKG and AbsRad are driving me crazy fr||
Can relate
They're the only bosses I need for ||ascended hog||
uh... mb for being stupid but what does mayhaps means? 
Combination of maybe and perhaps
id say ||nkg and pv|| are on thr same level of difficulty, but I'd rate ||pv|| as 7 and 8 for ||nkg||
||nkg||, alongside ||pv|| are usually considered pretty chill in ||acended and radiant||
as they get very easy once u learn their patterns
but once you get used to it, ||nkg|| is a bit easier than ||pv|| ngl
True if you compare them to bosses where luck plays a big role like ||markoth||
most ppl will have their issues progressing with ||absrad and markoth||
fr, and ||oblobbles||
I'd actually rate ||radkoth and radblobbles|| as 9 both tbh
I got lucky with ||oblobbles|| but I can see them being a pain especially in ||radiant||
i actually did ||radkoth before radblobbles|| 
they test slightly different things
||nkg|| puts more emphasis on reaction time
go to other places
personally yes
uhuh for sure yup yup of course totally :))))
you miss out on a fun fight
yea that's why I said "uhuh for sure yup yup of course totally :))))" it wasn't at all sarcastic wdym
yes there’s much more content
Where am I supposed to go?? I feel like I've went everywhere at least 3 times already
Even every edge
I've killed the ||fake knight|| and the ||fly mother||
HOW DO I KILL THAT BLOODY ||GREY PRINCE ZOTE ON ALL BINDINGS|| ABSOLUTELY CANCEROUS
||have you gotten vengful spirit?||
No idea what that is
Have you talked to the ||guy with a snail shell in his head, the room left of the false knight?||
||when you killed false knight did you find a snail man?||
||glass knight? Never saw that guy and don't know the snail shell guy||
||no but I found sly||
||false mb||
||only npc I found after the bosses||
go back to where the left most bench is
there's a building to enter there for progression
At the side of ||fake knight||?
yeah
Yes
||perhaps there is a room you need to find after you kill flase knight||
Huh leme see that
not really any different from with
but just like longer and a bit harder I guess
anything specific about the fight u r struggling on?
Dealing with specifically ||the zotelings, they require two hits instead of one, plus just bs factor like his instant flail run. A lot of stuff on the screen at once which I cannot deal with||
Let alone the ||stress of getting that far into the pantheon||
||for the zotelings u usually want to shriek them or wait for them to fall near the ground and then ddark. u can hit gpz while hes spitting out the zotelings to get the soul needed. also for the flail u just need to react to it quickly and jump up to start pogoing him. if u have the space u can also dash to the side and then jump up since that gives u a little more space to get to full height to start pogoing||
Does ||second part of descending kill the zotelings?||
||if u hit a zoteling at the edge of the ddark (so not part of the main shockwave) then it wont kill it, but itll bring the zoteling down to one nail hit||
||one hit of shriek will kill the zoteling so thats also a viable option||
you figure it out?
Yh I'm way ahead now
tips to defeat ||pure vessel||?
Tips I can think about are attacking after he finishes an attack, not during one and learning its patterns
||sharp shadow|| can help with dodging
I'd say ||sharp shadow|| is a trap here
the reason I found ||PV|| hard at first is because I tried to ||dash|| through him
The hardest attack in my opinion are the swords
The ones from the ground
If you are not used to ||sharp shadow|| it can become quite hard adjusting to the range but I think sometimes that increased range could help
it can help with the triple slash
but you shouldn't be ||dashing|| through that in the first place
when pogo is way safer and does more damage
jumping over ||PV|| for everything also makes dodging ||void tendrils|| easier
True, especially when he jumps out of screen and you can't figure out the next attack
that's why I think ||dashing|| a lot is a trap on the boss
you can make it work but its unnecessarily more dangerous
I like going for the counter parry even though its very stupid
It's definitely fun trying counter parry
go to the areas you have not gone
see the areas with opened interface
those lead to new places
Will hollow john get squished under the elevator?
hollow john?
the guy we play as idk
those ones you hit the lever
and they come down or go up
ok got the last ||lifeblood cocoon|| though still no ||radiant watcher knights or markoth||, probably time to do ||p5||?
not today though my hands kinda hurt
why does ||markoth|| have to be the worst thing ever
|| guys this is my second playtrough of hk and idk how to get into the city of tears to get d dive? I went from fungal wastes in using the city crest but all paths up are blocked and opened from above||
you can try going to ||royal waterways||
i need ||d dive||
Could you show the map of the ||city of tears|| you have?
i dont have one yet
||have you managed tk get to the nailsmith||?
one sec though
im here
could go there yeah
||prob its the jump from the elevator on the room next to nailsmith||
||jump while its going down/up into a platform||
oh i forgot i had to go there
mb
plenty of different choices you can take
I'm about 2hrs 20m in to my ||sub 5hr steelsoul run.|| I'm at ||fog canyon, from crossroads skip and about to go to archives. Should i do the exploding room charm notch challenge? Getting one more means i can use heart, strength, and shaman's during Uumuu and THK.||
Oh wait... ||i don't have isma's... I can't make it to the main challengr itself...||
||Do uo know he says to find a something ore to make your nail even stronger where can i find tha thing||
Within the ||capital of the kingdom! If you see Hornet leading you somewhere in Fungal wastes, follow her and you can go from there on||
yaya there was a cutscene where she said sum
Oh neat. Then head left. There's a sign in the shape of a nail
||nooo i have found the blacksmith and upgraded the weapon once and then he says bring me a ore and i will make it even stronger where can i find the ore||
||expl-ore||
I can understand if you feel confused or lost, but it's best if you find your own way around the kingdom and its wonders
ok
If there is anyone online who has been following my journey... know that I have failed you all... ||I died to uumuu because i got knocked to acid then kept pressing the wrong key to pause...|| That's fckin it. I'm taking a break. I'm not even gonna try ||p5 for a while||. Goodbye 2hrs 30mins of my life
Hello, I would like to ask if they can help me if my scrub doesn't work?
Scrub?
Yes, scrub stopped working for me, although it worked a week ago, I thought that the version was old, reinstalled scrub and now it does not see my Internet and gives an error that I can throw off.
is ||grimm nightmare king|| supposed to be hard? found quite easy to defeat
Are you talking about scarab? If so, please see #1057825333841240104 instead
Uh-huh... absolute ||marko—||
It doesn't work because it values your sanity
most ppl find it hard
depends from person to person to
i find it really fun
hi guys i'm needing help to get the ||colosseum, idk how to go, the door in city of tears is locked...||
You get there from || king's station||
i need some keys but idk how to get it
ye ik but its locked..
you will find as you progress through the game
There are 5 of them if I'm not mistaken, the easiest one to get is at ||sly, but it costs 950 geo||
four
not five
there are 4 ||simple locks|| in the game
Yeah, you're right, it's been a while since I've done a full playthrought
Someone know how to open this door by hitting the lever? :/
bro i havent played for an year since i did 112%
isnt it obvious
not rly
you come from the other side
we can't
I think it's been more than a year for me
how do you know
i see
bc i search and we can't get other side
bro the game is really big
just keep on exploring you will find a way
later maybe
why do you want to go there anyway lol
rancune dont click this, its spoilers(not relevant to how to get there) ||probably saw the lurien marker on map and wants to go to watchers spire||
i love spoils lol
but no idk, i just saw a locked door that i can't open so i want to get through :/
you do have to come from the other side, just continue playing the game its not relevant rn
okok ty (idk how to go from the other side t_t )
youll naturally find it eventually
Ok guys i have the ||colosseum|| but.... how to open this door? im at the good place at ||city of tears||
i got it ty !
Is ||thorns of agony|| worth it ? I'm playing in mobile controls but it's too hard to get past the ||vines or whatever is that||
it is not very good
because it reduces your invincibility frames after getting hit
had it not done that it'd be like ok at best
tips for ||pantheon 4?||
not really that it just freezes you in place for a bit
wherever you want to
its a metroidvania game
yeah read up on it and it is a little more nuanced
💔
go to the places that the map hasn't revealed
and if its blocked off by some item you don't have go to another place
Whenever youre lost, || look at those empty holes in the rooms in your map and head to them, if you cannot go through make a mental note of the place and head through another one
All blocked
Wydm
Well thats just untrue
I won't remember
but I can tell you that is not the case for all of those

fair enough
Ight I'ma go re check all holes ig
well if you want a bit more direction to learn it, ||go back and explore forgotten crossroads after you feel like youre done with greenpath. alot of new places opened up there||
Yow can always buy ||map pins at the town from the start of the game to make it easier and make notes on them if needed||
||is gpz a %? other than him i only have p4 left afaik so unsure what else it could be||
ah that explains it
||i tried it early in my playthrough and saw that there isnt a real reward so just gave up||
Yeah
||its a decent enough amount, it does make a difference||
What should I do here?
I can't ||double jump yet||
Oh ok
Because I saw ||hornet just now and I wanted to follow her||
That's so trash 💔
there are other tools you can use to get there
honestly it's not too bad
||its just MoP is so much better||
Like the ||jump on the shade thing? I tried , it didn't work out||

spoil that as well, ||and theres more. if you want me to show the location i dont mind but this game is made to be experienced by just exploring everything yourself||
||you could probably make it work but that's really tricky||
Yeah mobile controls aren't the best thing to try it on
||and also there's more stuff to do after anyways||
I'm in just for the bossfights
fair
||go to the area with an unexplored spot that goes down a few rooms from where you are in your screenshot, many new things to find there||
oops forgot they were new
maybe its time for bed its 4am
Bet
What do I have to do to make||millibelle|| go to the ||pleasure house||
||store 2550 geo in an account||
I've stored the maximum
Weird, maybe just do some stuff outside of ||fog canyon|| and maybe it'll happen
||try benching?||
I'm doing a no ||mask or soul|| upgrade run and I've never used this feature so yeah I'm gonna do ||watcher knights get the final dreamer|| and go back
She's still not here?
Try going to || millibelles location in fog Canyon || first, you might need to go there to trigger her to move?
what should i do after ||fighting hornet||
I just went there hoping that works
Yeah it worked guess you have to see the ||bank empty first||
||hornet in greenpath?||
Go to unexplored locations on your map
Did someone delete my message? Am i not allowed to ask about || path of pain||
hi guys can someone tell me what should i do to reach the other place im kinda new
The bot might have if you did not spoiler tag parts of your message that need to be tagges
this is the charm set i recommend for thoose who want to || beat white palace ||
what do yall think?
||She's giving me more than what I put in why did I get told not to make a bank account first playthrough this is op fr||
Oh i see. Well i was going to ask || is there a way to play path of pain again without creating a whole new world and getting to the same location again||
Good
Nooo wayy void !!
Huh
can you call me so its the call of the void ??
Almost done || wirh golden statue||
(undertale reference)
Uhhhh
Only via mods sadly
ah i see
Is it an easy process with mods?
ive never used mods before
any help?
||it's pretty underwhelming the second time ngl||
hi someone can tell me why im using custom knight and i put the skins folders into the custom knight skin folder but in game when i choose a skin it doesnt changes
I havent pla\yed it in like a year
i wanna see how long it will take me again lol
ok thx
I would rather ||deep focus over hiveblood because it takes just too long||
Just beat no upgrades run in less than 5 hours
Gg
Define upgrades?
well i dont have it yet
and i want to ||get all the endings before i go 112%||
||mask and vessel frag||
||doesn't count towards it anyways||
Wait
You need a new ability
nvm disregard that
When you can't reach somewhere 99% of the time you need a new ability
It's 5 I need to sleep
smh should have done no upgrades whatsoever
||I'll just say you're close, continue exploring||
Alright thank you
No, and it takes a while as you need ||all abilities and awoken dream nail. If you're on PC better use mods like QoL that allow to replay pop||
51% 4hr 46m 45s
I see thanks
Beating in less than 5h is an achievement on itself
And ||no upgrades includes spell and nail upgrades?||
||nail 2 all dark spells||
51% seems a bit high for just regular
Hmm ok so you did get some extra stuff
My speedrun achievement attempt I kinda foolishly did pretty low collection at like 24% or something
||funny monarch wings skip||
Did still ||pick up heath and soul fragments though and still got destroyed by watchers||
||20% of regular any% except shaman
Wings and BV is 3%
Surely Isma's so 3% and ogrim
6% for the reminder spells and smaster
2% on nail upgrades
That's 36%, 15% of random stuff which surely has charms or killed some other bosses||
||shade cloak is 5% also so lol||
I've 112% hk but I just cannot do ||pantheon 5||
||P5 is hard||
Yes
Pretty scared to do that too
But I've run out of stuff to procrastinate with
well there's some stuff left but I really do not want to do it
||went through mantis lords to get to deepnest got tram pass to skip to kings station through the kingdoms edge sold to lemm upgraded to nail 1 got the lantern went to crystal peak got dream nail, sly key and heart went back to deepnest killed nosk and herrah upgraded to nail 2 exchanged sly key for elegant got shade soul killed soul tyrant got desolate dive beat dung defender got the isma's tear did hornet 2 got descending Dark did uumuu got wraiths got Shriek and shade Cloak got sharp shadow killed watchers beat the game||
Maybe ||blue lake skip saved quite a lot when I did it on a whim, idk how much I actually ended up skipping though||
||I forgot to get lantern and entered through QG and had to do Deepnest blind, that was the most torturous platforming I had to do so far||
So what I said|| + shade cloak|| is 41%
||Mantis Lords, Nosk and Sharp shadow is 3%
Another 7% on who knows what||
I say pretty alright
makes sense
speed running seems maybe interesting but some of the stuff to do is a bit much
It's not that bad, it's all just practice and learning the bosses, it will just take some time
currently have ||radiant in all but watchers and markoth and ofc any p5 exclusives||
You can aim for a 4x
I did that without some hard tech, mainly just ||qga, Shrogo and the proficient combat ofc||
I could look into that after ||p5||
Hey, I was wondering, do bosses in ||the pantheons have reduced health compared to their regular forms? When you have to fight so many in a row, it only seems fair to prune their health a bit so you can keep momentum||
Ye they have the same health || only on ascended and radiant they have more||
I see
||ascended and radiant beef it up for better practice||
||and also just to make it harder||
Hang on, does that mean ||You fight their attuned forms in the actual rushes, no modifications, besides arena changes for the final pantheon, and the standard mechanical changes for oblobbles and uumuu?||
||but generally it's just nudging you towards being perfect at it||
I'm asking because earlier this week, I returned and defeated ||Pure Vessel||, and I'm wondering if ||their hp will be the same in the pantheons||
I've proven I can do it, it's just very daunting
||unless there's some other boss change other than arena and health||
||I thought you said there was no health change?||
||that's why I'm saying unless||
Either way, I suddenly don't feel so horrible about ||struggling against ascended Gruz Mother||
||so if there's any potential AI change which I don't think is the case||
I just wish there were health bars so I could identify phase change breakpoints and how close I get
it is just by design not having them
keeps you on edge for the entire fight
healthbars give confidence
Fair, I guess it keeps you in the zone so you don't facetank the last few hits
yeah exactly
if you want to go fast you should know hits to kill anyways
or at least stagger counts
Honestly, my strat ||only jumps once, to dodge the void tendrils. Apart from that, I just dash into the boss whenever it attacks, go for two hits after most things, especially the spikes, and I heal during stuns and focus||
Not sure what to do to refine that
It does very much help to know your next swing will be a stagger and just rush in for a greedy hit
||I don't really care whether it parries or not, a parry just means I should dash into them||
I'd ||jump always when he appears, and pogo when he dashes or triple slashes||
||and reserve dash for the daggers or for emergencies||
If I'm at max health, I just skip the stagger and keep attacking
||Maybe abyss shriek would be better||
honestly doesn't matter once you get the hang of the attacks
I've just been gone for like two or three years, I'm still not used to airborne combat again
||I struggle against the damn Vengefly King||
||that fucker is Neo dodging my fireballs||
||It feels a little odd spoiler tagging the third boss, this server is VERY respectful about spoilers||
||well the bot screams at us for mention it outside spoiler tags||
I see, I take it it looks for boss and ability names?
What is the minimum percentage required to get into ||godhome||
just gotta have ||dreamnail|| I think?
||I think the godseeker rejects you if you do it early||
Bosses have their ||attuned hp in the pantheons, but most of them have different hp values in the overworld compared to attuned. For example soul tyrant and NKG have more hp in the overworld than in attuned, but most have less||
Reaching ||resting grounds and junk pit|| alone is very low requirements if you use skips
I messed up my English badly lol
I assumed you would need ||hornet, dash, mantis claw, soul master, vengeful spirit, desolate dive, dream nail and god tuner adding up to 10%||
Get into? Just ||vs, claw, dive, soul master and dreamnail, so 6%||
You can just not pick up ||godtuner lol||
You can't play ||pantheons iirc, but you can enter||
Surely you have to do ||hornet||
Nope
To actually beat its like.. i want to say 39 right
You can ||somewhat easily go from crossroads to blue lake with just vs||
Beat ||P5 it's 45%||
That's what the insane category of ||Low% GE|| is for
||claw helps make it easier too||
Eh close enough lmao, its been so long since ive seen a || low ge || run
You can completely Itemless
Itemless ||blue lake|| is pretty daunting, but doable
||You'd need god tuner to actually do anything tho||
||You'd need god tuner to actually do anything tho||
I don't remember if later parts would need the extra abilities
You need ||% from 7/10 bosses in P1 anyways||
Hitless ||P5||
Damn
Not that you could reach it
What's ||TEO||
I don't know actually, I know ||VK is unlocked by default, so idk if you need god tuner to see it||
Wait yeah, ||TEO||?
||the eternal ordeal ||
Oh
Ahh, you need ||cdash and wings||
||last few are pretty grindy and just the same||
Hmm, the wiki doesn't mention anything about ||needing godtuner to do pantheons/HoG||
||Did you do RadHoG first before R5||
Prob lack of research?
Of course lmao, also ||P5AB||
||R5 is completely out of scope of anything else in the game difficultywise||
The better question is ||RadHoG before P5||
||Not R5AB right||
In that case, no, I did it 3 weeks after
Hell nah 💀
There are only 22 people who have done that
I'm surprised anyone has tbh
||AB is absolute pain||
People have done unimaginable things in this game
||random stuff just turns impossible||
You get the ||city crest|| from ||false knight||, what more do you need?
Honestly, ||AbsRad|| scares me not for the difficulty of the fight, but ||the time between attempts||
||Ill probably just go for ultra practice in HoG when I inevitably first die to it||
Anyone know what the highest ||score|| anyone's ever gotten on ||TEO|| is?
Not necessary to progress
I got || golden zote||
Yeah, I'm just glad it's not necessary for 112%
||10001||
||P5 without a single item, like you just spawned in Kings pass (iP5)
P5 with wings only and all bindings
R5 with all bindings, nail 0 and only white spells (r045)
112% with P5 and Zote hitless (R112APB)
all bosses but collector, markoth, AbsRad and Traitor lord Itemless radiant with 1 nail damage||
And so much more
Is that for ||Maxing out Grey Prince?||
This community is completely insane
||8 hours||
|| the 9 and 8 fight were harder then the last fight||
All your masks
Even if you had infinite
This was hard enough 😭
Oh yeah, also, ||Why don't HK and Radiance have podiums in the hall of gods?||
People scare me
Why only ||their remixed forms?||
||White def 5
P5AB
RHoG||
Uh dojt you remeber me?
||you never see them and save||
I have those things done
Oh yeah true
Wait
It's been a while
I can fight the || white defendor more times?!||
You just randomly didn't do ||Zote, I remember||
Yep
Oh boy
Yes, 5 times, just like 10 ||Zote||
||those bosses lead to an ending and reloading the save puts you before the boss so doesn't count||
That shouldn’t be hard
It just took me some time cuz I got rusty
Aight im done with ||Mantis Lords and got Mantis Claw|| what should i do next
Follow the tunnel
||or go climb stuff you couldn't before||
Did you get the ||charm||
||Really, many things are climbable with spike pogos||
||I would have done brooding mawlek early if I remembered where it is||
It was the first thing I did in ||steel soul||
||keeps early game somewhat interesting on replays||
||it's like actually a good fight when you aren't decked out in endgame abilities||
||waterways||
||reach the bench, down right middle up||
Or go from the ||broken elevator||
||Does 2hit R5 mean you've done it twice||
That I'm attempting ||R5, but I have a personal best of 2 hits||
I actually have done it 5 times
So slowly but surely I'll get there
Found him
You've not beaten it but you're getting close meanwhile I'm getting cooked by the last few bosses
Does the damage scale wirh how much you defeat him?
|| like wirh zotr||?
Oh it does
can someone give me the ||fungal wastes map?||
You can find || cornifer after you eneter and go down||
Im Done || I did the white defendor 5 times it was pretty easy||
noo i mean
with the thingies
like geo and stuff
tysm :D
Glad to help 😄
Let's go 🔥
Do you get anything from it? Is it needed for || 112%? ||
I mean, that's how it goes, I've also played this game for almost 900 hours at this point.
I know you can do it 🔥
no, and no
You get special dialogues
No it just gives lore and more || respect from dung defendor and cool thing from him||
And you aslo get || small statue of yourslwf at his cave||
Oh cool
Ye cool
No problemo
ask in ||the hollow knight|| modding discord server, or make a post in modding-help
if you dont use the it wont get flagged
and ||dirtmouth and queen's gardens|| should be spoilered according to the rules
Please edit your message and add spoiler tags
Oh i didnt see you were already told to
witness my magic: the hollow knight
I knew this would be an issue at some point
Acronyms are spoilers too
how??? you wizard!
well, at some point there will have to be a decision to draw aline somewhere reasonable
why can't you spoiler it?
okay that was not how to do it
okay i think i just dont know XD
its explained in pinned comments
That one will get removed from the blocklist, the problem is that the person keeping the bot doesnt seem to have been online for over two weeks
i once knew how to spoiler
its fine, its just funny how over the top some of the spoilers are
literally searched the pinned comment button for 2 min XD
use || before and after the spoiler
probably reasonable to say "the HK" for this
like ||king's pass||
the HK server
exactly
kings pass
niiice thx
how tf do you do that?!
should i keep this build for ||p5|| or change it
seems fine
its perfectly fine
i really feel like im not using ||spells|| tho even if im trying to
||if you really wanted to you could switch heart for twister or two 1-notch like steady body + nmglory||
maybe i should replace ||shaman||
||shaman for mop can also be done||
||hearts|| good for 1st clear
yeah not like it's bad
also i dont like that charm dont ask me why i just dont
uh
ok
based
idk i just dont feel like more range would help at all
im gonna get close anyways its not like i can get much more distance with it
ah you meant ||mop||?
i was under the impression you hate ||shaman||
well i dont necessarily hate it just that im not fond of it either
especially with me not using ||spells|| that much
what happens when i help ||brumm banish the grimm troupe||
they leave
anyways yay
do i get something
unfortunately thats in ||hog not p5|| tho
a charm, and an achievement
what happens when i collect the rest of the flames
you proceed with the "ritual"
@mint quiver this guy has a pfp that nozt okay
and then i fight|| grimm|| again?
proceed and find out

i do recommend getting the flames you can always banish later
||the compass is crucial to the build trust||
||"proceeds only to get mauled by grimm again"||
fu
i feel like thats the build ill go with
a kid trying to get attention
Damn
Yeah... 💔
<@&283547423706447872> a weird person, you can see the image below for what they had for pfp.
what image below
This
Oh jesus fuck
ah, you can use that ping?
good to know for future
smh, imagin not reading #rules-and-info
Always ping mods instead of a singular mod
(im not actually sure if it is mentioned in the rules, doesn't seem to be)
surely it is mentionned somewhere that you can and should ping mods ?
how is that helpful info
well it is important to tell people where and how they can report stuff
like if you are getting harassed in your dms or something
my method: harass them back
welcome for the pings

Same
It took me 2 weeks for just an ||attuned|| 😭
- i play on mobile
well
at least its a good thing i didnt go straight back to ||p5||
i would have suffered for nothing 😭
What
Classic pirating an indie game
not supported
dont get the point of pirating indie games
like mainstream big ones i guess cause theyre overpriced asf
but pirating indies is just sad
true
i think its understandable if you can only play on mobile, still ofc its piracy
you could at least buy it on Steam or smth else even if you have no pc or console bru
but not like ppl who havent a cosole or a pc can just play without piracy
if you have no other option i guess it would be fine
you are being pretty unreasonable imo
how is still buying the game unreasonable? just buy it on Steam for 15 bucks or if on sale even less and then pirate it on mobile
but they have a riot account so i hardly believe they dont have a computer of some sort
but benefit of the doubt ig
it is if you have just started the game, if you really liked it and you wanna support it eventho it gives you no benefit, you can buy it
okay but then play it and if you keep playing it and invest time into buy it on Steam and support the INDIE devs
thats what i said
but also doesn't evey other person who doesn't pirate games first buy it and then try it????
brother, you are being dense, what do you not understand on there being ppl who have no pcs or consoles
okay but you don't need a pc or console to buy a game on Steam?????????
i give up man, you win, imma hwad out
You can play quite a lot of games through gamepass or steam link on mobile
Anyhow
not hk
I'm certain gamepass works
it does
I know
people who are only on mobile just don't want to go through the effort and I guess maybe money although gamepass is only 12 bucks
Piracy discussion woag
IVE TRIED TO BEAT ||WATCHER KNIGHT|| LIKE 50 TIMES NOW. I swear ||they're|| impossible.
Any tips for the fight?
do you have ||descending dark||?
You mean ||desolate dive?||
go search more in ||crystal peaks||, youll find a handy upgrade there
yup that's what he meant
K thanks
okay cmon unecessary spoilers like you could've saved it
like how
like he asked for help on a boss and you mentioned an upgrade he might not have yet
no reason to save ||descending dark|| for after ||wather knights||
?tag uncspoilers
🔹 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.
that is the best upgrade for that fight
okay but you can't spoil that
for him
there was no reason to
i honest to god dont know how to communicate with you
are you serious can you accept you've made a mistake
like read what this says
||ddark and shade cloak|| are all you need for ||watcher knights||
im pretty sure im decently reasonable about making a mistake or not
okay so do you realise you unnecessarily might've spoiler that guy
like here, after i found out there was amethod, i admitted that it was my bad
I already have the ||Crystal heart||, wasn't that the only major ability you could get from there?
you are just simply incorrect
alright just don't worry about it
Yep, there’s a couple other small things though
K
I have || two nail upgrades|| yet I can only consistently kill ||1 watcher knight and occasionally 2. I don't even know if there is more than 4 total but I can never kill a third to find out||
can you send a pic of ur inventory and maybe charms too
im curious, do you think telling someone where|| pop|| is when they are in ||white palace ||is a spoiler?
yes obviously it is
Depends if they ask or not
well yea obviously everything depends on if they ask lol
If they don't ask don't tell them yes it's a spoiler
nobody is finding it on their own
how can you disagree on this??
Like half the people I've seen play the game did
its a wall without any indication
They just slash at every wall they see
that doesn't matter it's a spoiler
i cant belive that
if they don't ask
