[tepid meadow]

Csuse Icba

Maube ask and someone will explain it fkr you who has yhe time

[tepid meadow]

I AM right on this matter, i m literally willing to explain how

ah nvm you are rage baiting

[snow vigil]

Then go to hk lore and state your case and someoje 3ill Correct you im no longer gonna speak here cause this sint thr pount point this channel so jf 6ou actually cafre go yo hk lore

[sly rune]

Sakura is correct.
||THK is not.pure, but not because of the moment spent with PK. A "pure" vessel isn't really possible to begin with||.

[trim hawk]

||wouldn't something actually hollow just not be able to make any actions?||

[sly rune]

I think so.

[snow vigil]

No

But please

Go to hk lore

[sly rune]

Topic died, I think.

[drowsy yarrow]

Just ||happy couple|| left?

[keen stream]

nahh

ima play minecraft just to rest for a bit

[thick wing]

may sound stupid but which control is responsible for interaction?

[ruby shuttle]

up

[trim hawk]

down also works

at least on kb

[sleek siren]

||this is not the case and is a misunderstanding of both THK and the scene itself||

[earnest sable]

does anyone have tips for ||radiant watcher knight||?

[ruby shuttle]

whats your charm loadout

[scarlet solstice]

||spam ddark, have dreamwielder and use it every chance you get, run to the opposite end of the arena and spam fireball ||

[earnest sable]

||strength, mark of pride, shaman stone, quick slash and dream wielder||

[ruby shuttle]

||shamans is good. make sure to use fireball when they are rolling away from you, that way you can get double or even tripple hits in||

[humble glacier]

||please for the dear love of god help me i think i softlocked myself in the mantis village||

[earnest sable]

yeah i do that

[ruby shuttle]

explain

[solemn ibex]

How so?

[humble glacier]

theres a jump i cant make because i dont have the ability to walljump yet

[ruby shuttle]

show picture

[humble glacier]

cat

cant

no perms

but to put it in the best way

[ruby shuttle]

is it when you are leaving ||mantis village||

[humble glacier]

no

[acoustic sigil]

Are you sure? This channel was always an exception

[humble glacier]

||it's near the dash master statue, that one spawnpoint near the dash master statue where its kind of below you/to your left going down||

[acoustic sigil]

||Jump + dash from the higher platform when entering mantis village||

[acoustic sigil]

^

[humble glacier]

I'M FREEEEEE

thank you guys

[solemn ibex]

Gg

[solemn ibex]

Also you probably need to get the ||mantis claw|| from the ||mantis village||

[acoustic sigil]

What do you think they are heading towards

No need to tell them that

[solemn ibex]

Ig I'm stupid .-.

[thick wing]

I heard that after ||greenpath|| I’m supposed to head to the ||fungal wastes|| but I’m currently in ||fog canyon|| ? Its just some pink place its jelly fish

[trim hawk]

keep moving and you'll get there

[sly rune]

You can go wherever you want.

MOst of the time.

[trim hawk]

all of the time with the dark arts

[humble glacier]

yeah i got it already

[thick wing]

I’m in ||fog canyon|| rn how am I supposed to get rid of this thing so I can buy ||cornifer’s map||

[fathom bison]

||You need an ability you dont yet have to get through that gate. But that doesnt mean you cant reach cornifer.||

||Just means you need to enter canyon in a different way.||

[thick wing]

Is there another path I can reach him

[fathom bison]

||yes.||

[thick wing]

aha okay

[trim hawk]

just gotta come from the other side

no gate there

[dusky moth]

I made the right choice

[devout wagon]

||There is a boss in the top area of kingdom edge anyone knows the name||

[solemn ibex]

||Colo 2|| or ||colo 3|| ?

[devout wagon]

This is my first playthrough am not sure he keeps running and leaves spikes behind

No

Micolash vipes

[jagged silo]

that isnt technically a boss i think

[dusky moth]

||Markoth ?||

[jagged silo]

no it isnt,

[devout wagon]

No he has a mask full of holes

[jagged silo]

since its not a boss, he cant be find under that category in wiki

[devout wagon]

Is there a trick to beating him

[dusky moth]

Uhh send a pic atp

[idle ingot]

no one even knows what you're talking about

[jagged silo]

i think it was ||pale something||

[devout wagon]

Gimme few mins

[quasi ingot]

||Pale lurker?||

[idle ingot]

it might help if you'd be clearer. send an image if you cant

[devout wagon]

Yee

[dusky moth]

He's easy tbh

[jagged silo]

exactly

[devout wagon]

I keep dashing on the spikes idk if I am a bit early to this place or what

[jagged silo]

||try using long nail and mark of pride that helped me||

i dont even remember tho

[devout wagon]

[dusky moth]

||Just keep going after him and use the quick slash and long nail|| to end it quick

[jagged silo]

yeah just force your way into doing damage and heal when safe

[dusky moth]

Yeah exactly

He doesn't have high hp too

[devout wagon]

||is there a way to get to hollow nest crown from deepnest?||

[idle ingot]

no

[quasi ingot]

||Spells might help aswell if he gets to far||

[devout wagon]

He keeps jumping

[dusky moth]

Just keep going after him he doesn't go invisible and hit him fast

[devout wagon]

Ok

Thx guys

Nope just found him thought i should get rid of him

But it is a bonus

[jagged silo]

on my first run i was pure melee but on my second run how easy ||spells|| make the game especially like ||flukemarm||

[idle ingot]

||flukenest|| actually nerfs your damage output unless you're able to abuse some bugs with it

[quasi ingot]

I did the same to be honest

[jagged silo]

||dung defender|| and ||watcher knights|| without them are a nightmare man

[dusky moth]

||Finally beat the Trial of the Fools… and felt nothing. No joy no nothing just spiritual exhaustion the Path of Pain took me two hours. This took two weeks 😭 ||

[quasi ingot]

||I didn't know you could desolate dive the dung defender 😭 it is a nightmare||

[keen stream]

you can do that?

[quasi ingot]

yep!

[keen stream]

demn! i didnt know that

[quasi ingot]

it's really handy

[jagged silo]

kinda funny how logical the game is something and sometimes not

[keen stream]

i love how there's a brothel in this game

what should i do after i kill ||the collector||?

the ||grub||ology

[quasi ingot]

||You could collect all the grubs if you haven't already||

[devout wagon]

First try lol

[keen stream]

what else should i do?

im missing one charm

i forgot what it is

[quasi ingot]

hmm

[keen stream]

this one

its the only one missing

[quasi ingot]

||I think it'ss Flukenest||

||You get it from flukemarm in the royal waterways||

[dusky moth]

love this image

[runic maple]

||I'm currently chipping away at the last % left for fully completing the game, and i somehow missed the only missable item in the game: the egg in the lifeblood heart room. Does this affect my completion? Am i cooked?||

[keen stream]

where tf is this ||grub||, i forgot where he is

[dusky moth]

theres a hidden wall probably look carefully as the area is clear

[simple island]

Absolutely not
% are very precise and not missable at all
Things like ||geo rocks and relics do not provide any % at all||

If you want to know which % you are missing you can send a screenshot of your inventory (and charm inventory if it isn’t full)

[dusky moth]

||how can i get 14 lifebloods to enter that rooms in the abyss||

[keen stream]

im rich af

[dusky moth]

had something similar died right after tho

then died and couldnt get it back

[keen stream]

i wont die tho

if i die i'll hate my entire being

[dusky moth]

not really as you can actually get it back without even going back to your soul

[keen stream]

[dusky moth]

||you go to the npc in dirtmouth far right where you put a simple key and give her a rancid egg and it puts the soul in the same room||

didnt even know this till i lost aloot of geos

[keen stream]

if i lose this, i'll lose my mind as well

[dusky moth]

isn't this the mode where if you die its over

[keen stream]

i alr lost 1 ||steel soul|| run, and i wont repeat the same shit again

[keen stream]

yeh

[dusky moth]

go to|| path of pain|| buddy you'll live

[keen stream]

holy shit 2 of my saves are rich af

[dusky moth]

nicee

[trim hawk]

I'm completely broke from ||unbreakables||

[keen stream]

i'll get this on all of my save

[trim hawk]

honestly not much risk

[keen stream]

yeh

i alr have ||hiveblood||

and im now used to using ||ddark||, kinda cool

[dusky moth]

||hiveblood + grubsong you'll never die in white palace or path of pain||

||what do i have missing||

[keen stream]

here

[dusky moth]

thanks

it's interesting tbh i feel like i visited to every single location yet i still have some charms missed

[keen stream]

||glowing womb = crossroads
spore shroom = fungal waste
lifeblood core = abyss
weaversong = deepnest
deep focus = crystal peak||

also ||thorns of agony = greenpath||

[gusty linden]

What can i do here?

[livid shoal]

Literally nothing iirc

[simple island]

If you had car ||earlier they may have been alive||
(It’s not that important)

[gusty linden]

Car?

[bitter sapphire]

im tryna install a game file of 112% but no ||pop|| so i can replay it but i cant find my save files, i found a bunch of folders with letter spam that might be it but idk how to port over a steam file into it, im on xbox app btw

[acoustic sigil]

You can just use the QoL mod to replay ||pop||

Modding "Xbox Games" versions (Gamepass / Microsoft's App Store):

Note: this is for Desktop/Laptop. You cannot mod the game on Xbox consoles

• Use Lumafly (it has additional support for this version that other installers currently don't have)
  • Download: https://themulhima.github.io/Lumafly?download
  • Make sure that the Lumafly's exe isn't in Downloads. Ideally put it on your Desktop.
• Right-Click the Lumafly.exe and select "Run as Administrator"
  • It should automatically find the install and ask if it's correct. If it doesn't find it, then you will need to link it to the Hollow Knight.exe found in C:\XboxGames\Hollow Knight\Content by default.
• After installing / installing any mods, wait about a minute before launching the game (this is because Windows does a weird thing for Xbox Games things, and it makes copies of files).
  If you have further issues, then please see #"Support FAQ - Read before posting!" and create a #1057825333841240104 post if needed.

Important paths

• Save Files: %AppData%\..\Local\Packages\
  • Find a folder in here with Team Cherry in the name.
• Game Files: C:\XboxGames\Hollow Knight\Content\
• Mod Files: C:\XboxGames\Hollow Knight\Content\hollow_knight_Data\Managed\Mods\
• Note: Microsoft manages this install weirdly and syncs its files to inaccessible folders, so changes may need a few minutes to take effect and bugs with installing or uninstalling mods can occur.

[bitter sapphire]

oh great tysm

[gusty linden]

What can this thing do?

[acoustic sigil]

Currently nothing

But you should remember it, you'll need it later

[noble portal]

Can anyone tell me where to go in the ||fungus place? Like after the merchant npc u find there what else?||

[shell abyss]

an ability

[acoustic sigil]

Do you have the map?

[noble portal]

Me?

[acoustic sigil]

Yes you

[noble portal]

Not this one

[acoustic sigil]

||Well you can do that ig, from the 'drop' after the merchant go left||

||And you should realise you can downslash the mushrooms||

[noble portal]

Ight

[obtuse hedge]

||there's a quest but u have to find an npc another zone to trigger it||

[bitter sapphire]

what is the qol mod called

[acoustic sigil]

Get ready for this

QoL

[bitter sapphire]

no way

[ebon copper]

i feel like im so cooked

[shell abyss]

what mod is that

[ebon copper]

||pale court||

[shell abyss]

thanks

[trim hawk]

Equip ||sharp shadow||

[ebon copper]

thatd legit make it so much worse

i was stupid enough to do ||longnail||

[trim hawk]

Insta die when ||down dash||

Also there are ||sideways shade gates||?

[ebon copper]

yes, there are both

so ||dashmaster ||is required as you could see, which makes the ||tunnel pogos|| so much worse

[wanton spire]

Tips for ||radiance||🙏🏼

This is my current build

[glad furnace]

Well, I will say you have a pretty solid build. If you seem to still be dying then I would assume you're having trouble with the attacks

[wanton spire]

Yes

[glad furnace]

And I take it you probably have tried to focus on just dodging the attacks rather then try to really fight

[wanton spire]

I’m stuck at the ||first phase where the ground spikes show up and she Js attacks with light beams and swords||

[solemn ibex]

Replace ||shaman stone|| with ||mark of pride||

It'll work better

[wanton spire]

But I usually spam her with ||abyss shriek|| in the starting

[solemn ibex]

You can still do it but without the ||shaman||

[runic belfry]

whats that from

[solemn ibex]

And then at the ||2nd phase (after sword rain)|| spam her with the nail

[solemn ibex]

Cute skin

:3

[ebon copper]

thx

[whole prairie]

can i go to this place? i have unlocked ||crystal heart mantis claw and dash||

[shut sparrow]

yes

[whole prairie]

alright thank you

[solid heart]

||Shaman is perfect actually, what you can do is replace steady body and grubsong for either longnail or twister, because SB is close to irrelevant in rad if you're not facdancing, which is a super advanced strat||

[bright burrow]

hey guys, just a quick question nothing much, but what do you have to do in order to get the ||Zote|| background on the game menu?

[brazen quarry]

||there’s a secret room in the hall of gods, look towards the ceiling||

[bright burrow]

||And when you enter this, you already get it? Because I know what yu're talking about, but I haven't got it yet. I've also done ordeal. That's why I was curious what else there was to do||

[brazen quarry]

||you need to get to wave 57 / kill 57 zotelings then you will unlock it||

[bright burrow]

yikes

alright, thank's for helping

thanks without apostrophe

gosh

[ebon copper]

at last man

its so not much when you actually get it

[runic belfry]

that looks

fun…

[brazen quarry]

||as long as you don’t get hit it’s like the best charm, but that’s quite the caveat||

[ebon copper]

ik, its like better ||fury||

im quite sure im not gonna be using it, cause i dont wanna speedrun modded, but its really cool

[dusky moth]

||Can I access the Path of Pain again after completing it once? I can't seem to enter it right now||

[brazen quarry]

unfortunately not

[dusky moth]

nooooooo 😭 i already miss this place

[shut sparrow]

you can with mods

[dusky moth]

how so

[shut sparrow]

are you playing on pc?

[dusky moth]

yeah

[shut sparrow]

well there is a mod specifically for replaying ||path of pain||. I forgot the name though so go ask in #modding-discussion

[dusky moth]

alright thanks

[acoustic sigil]

QoL

[old heron]

y'all any advice for beating ||hornet 2||

I have ||mothwing cloak, mantis claw, crystal heart, monarch wings, desolate dive, and vengeful spirit. charms I'm using currently are shaman stone, baldur shell, and grubsong||

[gusty linden]

Can i do somthing in that room?

[acoustic sigil]

||What nail upgrade?||

[acoustic sigil]

Depends on your equipment

Does the background remind you of anything

[gusty linden]

Oh the worm things?

[acoustic sigil]

No

[gusty linden]

Oh got it

[old heron]

||channelled||

[acoustic sigil]

Any specific attacks you are struggling with?

[old heron]

||the spike shits that she keeps spawning, all the other attacks don't bother me because I've seen them before||

[acoustic sigil]

||There can not be more than 6 in the arena at once so you can either all have them on 1 side, or clear the arena with vengeful spirit||

[boreal spade]

I just locked in on her

Did second phase only on 1 hp

[acoustic sigil]

Good for you?

[old heron]

how many stuns does she do?

this is actually pissing me off bro. what are some better charms to use

[static drift]

I HATE THE MOST LIGHT

ON THE MOST LIGHT MODE

[shut sparrow]

||a boss doesn't have a set amount of staggers. Staggers happen after a set amount of hits and are influenced by combos, not health. So it varies a lot depending on your damage||

[old heron]

charm combos to use?

I have 6 slots currently but I could probably get more

[eternal mirage]

whoops

DUDE WHERE ARE LINES

i found them

does anyone know best way to beat ||sly||

[gleaming carbon]

||First stage learn the sequence and dodge, find the opening. Stage two quite literary walk away from him||

[old heron]

||I got it, I just used stalwart shell and tanked the damage||

[versed frost]

||im looking for the 2nd boss of the game and im lost at a bench||

[ebon copper]

what was the 1st boss you encountered?

[tulip quarry]

||I need help pulling off the invincibility glitch in Hollow Knight but not in godhome.||

||For research purposes to see if it still hasn't been patched.||

[chrome sun]

how do i break this

[pallid cedar]

There is a lever somewhere above you

I paused on a transition in ||godhome|| now I think I'm softlocked

[chrome sun]

this?

[pallid cedar]

I don't remember tbh

[pallid cedar]

SOMEONE PLS HELP ME 😫

Just restarted my game nvm

[gleaming carbon]

yes

[keen stream]

it doesn't look that bad

[lavish kernel]

|| do i have to fight every boss in pantheon 5 ||

[solid heart]

Yes

[lavish kernel]

|| so do i have to fight every boss and then radiance ||

[solid heart]

Yes

[somber hill]

💀

[timid horizon]

yes

[keen stream]

if i defeat ||nkg||, would that add % on me progress?

[trim hawk]

I think so

risk free so might as well

[keen stream]

cant believe i almost died to ||enraged crystal||

[trim hawk]

it's easy but disproportionately punishing

Unironically ||crystal guardian|| is harder

In terms of not getting hit

Idk if I'm just crazy but I swear ||the laser lasts longer||

I can't seem to just jump over it

[keen stream]

nahh, its just thicker ig

girthier

[stoic cedar]

Just ||shade dash|| through ||crystal guardian||, more effective than jumping over imo

[trim hawk]

it's so easy to just jump over

for ||enraged||

and let's me just up slash it down super quick

[solid heart]

No yeah, that's a thing.
||Attacks of sower versions of bosses linger more than the faster ones, it's a regular pattern||

[keen stream]

how

||dashing|| through is way way better

[trim hawk]

I like kill

nail go brrrr

[stoic cedar]

Okay so just ||shade dash|| through, u can be dealing a bunch of nail hits behind the boss instead of spending time not dealing damage in the air

[trim hawk]

hmm yeah will keep that in mind

||double jump|| wastes so much time

[keen stream]

you can use ||s shadow|| so even ||dashing through|| deals dmg

[trim hawk]

but that puts you in Narnia

[keen stream]

how tho

[trim hawk]

||extended dash distance|| seems like you'd at best just break even

[keen stream]

||s shadow|| is not that bad

[solid heart]

Yeah, that's the main issue of using ||sharp shadow without a second thought||

Fr using it in ||NKG|| halves my dps, but it makes ||watcher's|| more comfortable

[outer tinsel]

||am i going insane or like how do i enter PoP lol||

[trim hawk]

If youve done it before on the save can't do it again

[outer tinsel]

thats rigged

[keen stream]

im at 99% and idk what to do

[trim hawk]

what is there to do?

[keen stream]

idk either

i jus got ||pure nail||

so uh...

do i just leave him alone?

[trim hawk]

yes

||and head to sheo's shack||

[keen stream]

he's immune to ||dnail|| in his state rn

[trim hawk]

the what?

[keen stream]

||dnail||

||dream nail||

is ||sheo the paint guy||?

[trim hawk]

yes

[cyan valley]

||I’m sorta lost, by the bench near the well spring just got dash and soul blast what now?||

I’ve been all over

[trim hawk]

look at your map

and go to the unexplored parts

[gleaming carbon]

yes

[trim hawk]

some may be dead ends but there will be plenty of paths you can go

[keen stream]

im so happy rn

i saved both ||cloth and nail guy||

in the same save

[boreal spade]

Uhm explore the left

It’s easy

[trim hawk]

don't be greedy

punish his attacks

[keen stream]

||spell|| work great on his 2nd phase

[trim hawk]

instead of going ham

[keen stream]

but ||gs|| also works

[boreal spade]

I MEANT TO SAY THO

BRUHH

[keen stream]

thats it yall, im about to platinum the game rn

[trim hawk]

and ||use nail arts or you spend 1 year on the fight||

[boreal spade]

IVE never used ||narts|| in my life

[trim hawk]

they're the best thing ever

[keen stream]

should i do ||radiance or thk||?

[boreal spade]

I literally did || sly || third try

[boreal spade]

|| thk||

[keen stream]

aight

[trim hawk]

||no reason to do radiance||

[trim hawk]

just beating is easy

[boreal spade]

fr

[trim hawk]

coming from a more no-hit perspective

[boreal spade]

I don’t get how to use ||narts||

[trim hawk]

||I mean its just hold button and release||

[boreal spade]

Yeah but like

[trim hawk]

||only really use great slash on sly||

[boreal spade]

They don’t seem worth it

[keen stream]

three charms

fuck yeh

[trim hawk]

they're worth it ||when there's not as much windows of opportunity for damage||

[boreal spade]

Probably when he does || dash slash || right?

[trim hawk]

when he does like anything

[cyan valley]

Like not where the mushrooms are?

[trim hawk]

just after all of his patterns

you can sneak a giant burst of damage in

[boreal spade]

You know the big area that you drop down

Explore there

[trim hawk]

and then just back out of his next attack

if you're greedy you can get a swing or two in

[boreal spade]

Yeah that’s good

Explore that area also

[cyan valley]

Ok

[boreal spade]

Uh I always swung

[trim hawk]

or I guess if you're just ultra cracked you could just parry

[trim hawk]

I mean ||after using a nart||

[boreal spade]

I parried his 3 attack combo

[trim hawk]

||final phase narts are also very good for the extra range||

[boreal spade]

How much damage does great add to base nail

[trim hawk]

||2.5x||

its just free burst

[boreal spade]

Oh that’s actually good but at the same time you can get 2 hits in

[trim hawk]

you don't charge while hes exposed

you do it in the window you can't attack

[boreal spade]

I realize that

[trim hawk]

obviously you want to do both

[boreal spade]

So you charge it when he’s attacking then you get the burst and the 2 hits

[trim hawk]

not just hard focus into one

yeah

[boreal spade]

Do you use glory?

[keen stream]

[trim hawk]

no need for this fight

well for any fight ofc

but like some fights do definitely benefit more from it

[keen stream]

finally

[boreal spade]

Is it useful in || p4 ||

[trim hawk]

nice

[boreal spade]

niceee

[trim hawk]

if you don't have anything else you want on that charm sure

[keen stream]

time to start ||pantheon ab||

[boreal spade]

I mean

The ||narts || in general

[trim hawk]

oh yes

[stoic cedar]

||have u done weathered mask yet? i would suggest doing that first since its easier||

[boreal spade]

I saw || traitor lord || and ragequit

[trim hawk]

very good against ||failed champion||

[keen stream]

whats that?

[trim hawk]

some opportunities against ||watchers||

[boreal spade]

I haven’t even beat him yet

[trim hawk]

and I guess ||no eyes and markoth||

[stoic cedar]

||every binding on all pantheons, can be done individually||

[trim hawk]

||cyclone slash evaporates him and false knight, though it is much more dangerous on failed champion||

[keen stream]

and i do them one by one?

[boreal spade]

I’ll just learn his patterns

He seems easy

Just faster

[trim hawk]

||narts doesn't make you not learn patterns||

[stoic cedar]

for the earlier ||pantheons|| u can do multiple at once to speed it up, but for ||p5|| i would suggest going one by one

[cyan valley]

||I found silk lady in mushroom land so do I follow?||

[trim hawk]

||the safer way is to just use great and dash slash for failed champion||

[boreal spade]

You can but THERES nothing you can do there yet

[trim hawk]

||when you dash under him you can just great slash when he lands||

[cyan valley]

So don’t follow- k

[boreal spade]

Yeah I’ll have to practice ||narts||

[trim hawk]

not all bosses its useful ofc

its just another tool

[keen stream]

i alr did ||p1 and p2 ab||, but ||p3|| is a huge fckn difficulty spike

[trim hawk]

the downside to ||narts|| I find is the inability to reactive pogo

[keen stream]

past mistakes

[trim hawk]

which is niche but comes up

[stoic cedar]

||for weathered mask u dont need to do all at once, but yea p3ab is a huge difficulty spike compared to p1ab and p2ab||

[boreal spade]

I went from maining ||spells|| to doing a nail build for || thk || and now I never take that build off unless for a certain boss

[trim hawk]

||thk I just nail down because of said pogo||

[boreal spade]

Oh I just damage tank

But I guess in || pantheon || thats not an option

[trim hawk]

again coming from a no hit perspective

[keen stream]

i'll try this, then come back

[solid heart]

I'd say ||P2AB is like, comparable to the harder radiant bosses
P3AB is like harder than P5EB||

[boreal spade]

I learned how to do him hitless pretty much from going in and out of || radiance || fight

[boreal spade]

Is that a mod

[trim hawk]

||also not in pantheons because you never face him in-game as when you reload a save it's reverted to before you beat the boss||

[solid heart]

No?

[boreal spade]

yeah

[solid heart]

Ah, I see it now, I'm dumb lol

[boreal spade]

Is it?

[solid heart]

Yeah it is

[boreal spade]

I have no clue what that is it looks weird

[solid heart]

||P3 is not called PB: Troupe Master Grimm lmao||

[trim hawk]

I've never seen the text like that

[boreal spade]

That’s what I figured

|| Grimm || is so easy to do hitless

[trim hawk]

either that or I just never read it

[trim hawk]

lowkey harder than ||nmg|| for no hit

purely because you get so used to ||nkg||

[boreal spade]

well I’m
Not at that level yet lol

[keen stream]

i think that was my best progress in ||p3ab||

[trim hawk]

for a regular clear ||nkg|| is way way way way harder

[cyan valley]

||so pray mantis city is where I wanna be at?||

[boreal spade]

Yes

Explore it

[boreal spade]

Show your map

Make sure to spoiler tag it

[cyan valley]

||I’m by a charm called Dash master||

[boreal spade]

I just want to see

[cyan valley]

I don’t have the map for this area

[keen stream]

||god tamer|| is ass

[boreal spade]

Not the area the entire map

[trim hawk]

||best charm||

[boreal spade]

You know jow you can zoom out

[cyan valley]

Wdym??

[trim hawk]

iirc double tap your map key?

or open inventory and scroll to map

[boreal spade]

It’s good for exploration

[cyan valley]

Ohh that’s new ok

[boreal spade]

Just pogo the beetle guy

[trim hawk]

go nyoom

[boreal spade]

Yeah click on it so we can see the areas

Not just like the shape

[cyan valley]

Which one

[boreal spade]

Any

It will show a general area

[boreal spade]

Okay yeah your doing great

Continue what your doing

[cyan valley]

aight

Side note

||is dash master charm good||

[trim hawk]

its a fun one

but like kinda just that

go nyoom

I had it on all the time

[keen stream]

bro

istg

||god tamer|| moves back in the worst possible time

[boreal spade]

What is that

[trim hawk]

I am speed

[boreal spade]

I always run across the entire room

When he starts rolling

I hate the jumping bunny

[short kettle]

Does anyone have tips to fight ||the giant hopping bug in kingdom's edge? I was having trouble beating it in wild and now its in trial of the conqueror||

[trim hawk]

be brave and walk under it whenever it jumps

its an enemy that heavily punishes running away

[boreal spade]

Just don’t corner yourself and you can walk under the jumps dodging it

[trim hawk]

if just walking is a bit sketchy for you then you can ||dash|| instead

[short kettle]

Got it, thank you

[keen stream]

i'll do just 2 ||bindings|| fuck 3

[cyan valley]

||i believe I’ve fallen in a boss room but I climbed out, is that where I wanna be?||

[keen stream]

i cant do this

[stoic cedar]

||p3ab||?

[keen stream]

no

[trim hawk]

||you chose a pretty poor combination of bindings||

[keen stream]

these

[stoic cedar]

oh

[trim hawk]

just do one at a time tbh

[keen stream]

i'll try

[stoic cedar]

||even without charm binding, galien -> gpz combination is gonna be quite rough||

[keen stream]

fr

[timid horizon]

||is there a way to revive zotea||

[cyan valley]

Hey my screen is shaking for some reason

Did something happen?

[keen stream]

im losing my brain cells

[cyan valley]

||im fighting mantis lords||

?

[keen stream]

maybe earthquake

[cyan valley]

I died and came back and everything won’t stop shaking

[keen stream]

quit to menu

then try it again

[cyan valley]

Ok

||where is map to fungal waists||

[keen stream]

maximum brain power move rn

i died

[trim hawk]

should be near the beginning

unless you took an absolutely bizarre path

[cyan valley]

||I jumped down next thing I new I was fighting mantis lords||

[trim hawk]

kill time

[keen stream]

i'll do ||radiance charmless|| cause im bored af

@ebon copper

can you revive me again

[stoic cedar]

did u die in ||steel soul||??

[keen stream]

yeh

stupid mistake

i was doing ||radiance charmless||

forgot i only have 8 helth

and not 9

[crisp isle]

I think there's a site to edit save files

[keen stream]

got it

i hate myself

[crisp isle]

L

[keen stream]

i should've collected all the ||mask fragment|| first

[stoic cedar]

||changing the "permadeathMode" flag from 2 to 1 should fix it. but make sure to copy ur original file and put it somewhere safe before doing anything with ur file in the off chance smth goes wrong and u need ur original file back.||

[crisp isle]

Yeah what he said

[stoic cedar]

also make sure ur game is closed when u doing the whole save editing thing

[keen stream]

its back now

[stoic cedar]

nice!

[simple island]

Cheating smh

[timid horizon]

guys where do i find the mapper guy in the mineshaft

[simple island]

Top left

[timid horizon]

okayy

[simple island]

Don’t forget to look at the ||ground, he drops papers close to him||

[timid horizon]

yes I have noticed

[keen stream]

i alr cleared it tho

[simple island]

Then understandable I suppose

[stoic cedar]

undo the save edit to make the save file deleted again 💀

[timid horizon]

how do i kill those lazer shooting pink rocks

[simple island]

You don’t

(Or you use ||spells||)

[drowsy yarrow]

FINALLY DID IT AGAIN

No ||lifeblood|| took forever

[keen stream]

i cant imagine doing the same

[drowsy yarrow]

I kept choking in totally random places. I've died in the most nonsensical places, including ||Massive Moss Charger|| and ||Crystal Guardian||

[stoic cedar]

dang ||mmc||? really? i wouldve thought that the earliest real threat was like ||soul warrior||

[drowsy yarrow]

Well, I wasn't happy with the recording because I took so many hits, so I just reset there

[stoic cedar]

oh

so u didnt actually die there

[drowsy yarrow]

yeah. In terms of actual unintentional deaths, my worst was probably ||dung defender||

[timid horizon]

ISTG THESE MINERS HAVE AIMBO

T

[ebon copper]

was asleep

[keen stream]

its cool now

112% the game

[ebon karma]

i mean

i did|| radiance|| but i havent do the|| pure vessel|| or ||crimson sth|| how can i do that

77% btw

[stoic cedar]

what in the world is ||crimson sth||

[keen stream]

you'll fight em while doing the completion thing

[keen stream]

prolly ||grimm||

[ebon karma]

idk its a boss i saw on tiktok

YEAH right

[stoic cedar]

||u still got a lot of percentage to go, u should try to max out ur gear and complete stuff that u havent done yet||

[ebon karma]

||but like how can i find those bosses that i mentioned||

[stoic cedar]

can i see ur map? where have u explored?

[keen stream]

do ||narts|| even work against ||rad||?

[ebon karma]

how can i show u bro

[keen stream]

im doing charmless

[keen stream]

screenshot?

[ebon karma]

im so dumb to understand

the whole map?

i dont know how to see the whole map tho

[stoic cedar]

yes tho i wouldnt really suggest ||narts|| against ||radiance||, it keeps u immobile for a split moment when u use it and that can be bad in such a dynamic fight, and u should be stacking on soul anyways for this fight

[timid horizon]

||what does a shopkeeper key do||

[keen stream]

ive been doing this for an hour

[keen stream]

unlocks ||sly|| shop again

buy more stuff

[trim hawk]

||its a key that belongs to the shopkeeper||

[timid horizon]

again?

[ebon copper]

imo ||charmless|| is much easier than ||radiant||

[timid horizon]

its already opened

[ebon copper]

it opens more

[trim hawk]

well he only sells complete garbage at first

[timid horizon]

can we get muh higher

so high

[stoic cedar]

to clarify, i was mainly talking about the initial phases here, ||narts can be good on platform phase but definitely wouldnt really recommend for the phases before plats||

[keen stream]

im doing it hitless as well

[trim hawk]

well ok that selling garbage part doesn't really change at all

[ebon copper]

ah, why would you do that, that sounds like pain

[keen stream]

cause me friend said i got hit twice when i used ||fury|| and twas not counted as hitless

[ebon copper]

what you mean u used ||fury||

that should be a handicap for ||radiant||-no?

[keen stream]

just ||radiance|| tho

not ||absrad||

[ebon copper]

ah

that changes a lot

lol

[keen stream]

fuck ||radiance||, she's too slow

[stoic cedar]

switch to ||abs rad|| then

[frosty marsh]

ABS??

[ebon copper]

why is it that anytime someone says ||radiance||, i autocomplete to ||absrad||

[keen stream]

i was this close 🤏 to beating ||p3 nail binding|| earlier, i shouldnt have used ||fury||

[stoic cedar]

||well the hall of gods statue for abs rad does say radiance||

[keen stream]

you spent your entire time in ||godhome||

[ebon copper]

i did a decent amount of randos tho

[keen stream]

idk if i still got them moves for ||absrad|| tho

[ebon copper]

and i always end my randos on ||radiance||

[frosty marsh]

just asking where should i go after defeating ||lord mantis||

im currently in ||the city of tears||

[trim hawk]

world is your oyster

[frosty marsh]

huh ._.

[trim hawk]

go to places that your map is empty

there is no order

[frosty marsh]

oh

[ebon copper]

i should do more geinding on ||p4ab||, it was starting to look promising a couple of days ago

its just so tedious

[frosty marsh]

yeh but like idk WHERE to go since i just keep going back and fourth at ||city of tears|| and ||the bug cave somethin||

[trim hawk]

don't just go back and forth

[keen stream]

hell yeah, dodging her got engraved down to my very nerves

[frosty marsh]

i go ack and forth CAUSE I HAVE NO WHERE TO GO

[ebon copper]

how much ||essence|| do you have?

[trim hawk]

what does your map look like

[frosty marsh]

||i havent got essenece||

[frosty marsh]

havent buy maps

[trim hawk]

uh do that

[timid horizon]

is every area in hollow night required to beat the game

[trim hawk]

no

not even close

[frosty marsh]

no

[timid horizon]

|| os crystal heart a required item||

[trim hawk]

you can skip so much

[timid horizon]

because i just got it

[trim hawk]

not technically

[timid horizon]

hmmm

[trim hawk]

but basically

like you need to do funny skips without it

[frosty marsh]

fr fr

[ebon copper]

it is for ||te||

[timid horizon]

cro

te?

do you mean the

[ebon copper]

||true ending||

[timid horizon]

ooh oh

[ebon copper]

5

[timid horizon]

||how many endings are there||

[keen stream]

is ||kingdoms edge|| even possible without ||cdash||?

[timid horizon]

I want the bad one

baddest one

[trim hawk]

it is recommended still to have ||cdash||

[ebon copper]

i think so, idk what part wouldnt be

[trim hawk]

even with skips ||cdash|| lets you do more of them

[timid horizon]

betray all the friends and let chaos take the world

[trim hawk]

that's called closing the game and not playing ever again

[keen stream]

cant get ||ismas tear|| without ||cdash|| tho

[trim hawk]

you can pretty sure?

[frosty marsh]

my map rn

[ebon copper]

getting ||cdash|| ultimately saves time in the newest speedrun routes

[trim hawk]

just like really fucked up

[ebon copper]

what you need ||ismas|| for

[keen stream]

to swim to get to ||hornet2||?

[timid horizon]

also uh how do i get the double jumping ability

[trim hawk]

you can go to ||royal waterways|| using a ||key|| you can find in both ||city of tears left side|| or ||sly's shop if you haven't use that yet||

[keen stream]

oh wait..

[timid horizon]

it seems that it is required for a lot of areas

[keen stream]

its not needed

[timid horizon]

and i dont have it

[ebon copper]

you can do a ||fireball|| skip there, and reach the other safezone

[trim hawk]

completely optional for ||normal ending||

[keen stream]

how about ||wings|| tho?

[ebon copper]

also, i found this yesterday: ||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pOCJlDIk5g||

[timid horizon]

but like im stuck at some areas without it

[trim hawk]

the only required part of the game that checks for it is ||watcher knights|| that's really easily circumvented

[trim hawk]

then that area has an alternate entrance

or is just not required

[ebon copper]

ig we no longer need ||cdash|| for ||qga||

[timid horizon]

oh

how do i get it anyway

[trim hawk]

||westside|| of ||ancient basin||

you're expected to have ||cdash|| for it

but you don't need it

if you're crafty

[ebon copper]

you are evil

[timid horizon]

ohhhh i remember seeing this placees like

too far to jump

and spikes beneath

[ebon copper]

definitely get ||cdash|| before getting ||wings||

the skip there is quite hard

[trim hawk]

and also just like not worth it anyways

[ebon copper]

tho, if you are trying to speedrun, you really shouldnt get ||wings|| at all

[ebon copper]

.

[timid horizon]

ohh

[ebon copper]

its called ||monarchs wings||

[trim hawk]

I wonder how intended ||cdash skip for wings|| were

[ebon copper]

||monarch|| is a type of butterfly

[timid horizon]

do i get something if i ||open the shiny door in soul santurn||

i gave key to the guy and he selles a shining key now

||why is it cheaper than simple key||

[trim hawk]

I don't really recall such thing existing

could check it out

[ebon copper]

goood question honestly

[timid horizon]

yeah

[ebon copper]

its ||shade soul||

[timid horizon]

||simple key is 950 money and this shiny key is 800||

[trim hawk]

right you don't just get that magically

[timid horizon]

||should i buy elegant key from the guy and check it out?||

or do i buy some of the other stuff

[trim hawk]

||his charms kinda all suck but do buy the rest if you can afford||

[ebon copper]

its a good thing to get

[timid horizon]

i cant

i only have 800 moeny

[keen stream]

grind some geo

[timid horizon]

is it VERY good because i can buy || soul shard or soemthing for 900 money for more souls it says||

[keen stream]

i'll gift you 100 geo

[trim hawk]

hard to say if you don't use ||spells|| much

[timid horizon]

hmm no i dont

i use mainly the sword nail

[trim hawk]

can always grab it later

[ebon copper]

the keys more important than a ||vessel fragment|| imo

[timid horizon]

oaky

got it

[keen stream]

i almost killed ||normal rad|| hitless and charmless if i just didnt fall off during the climb

[ebon copper]

you fell off

[keen stream]

idek if that counts as hitless

i didnt get hit but fell off

[ebon copper]

id say it isnt

[timid horizon]

||i have also unlock the sewers is it a good area||

[stoic cedar]

nah its not hitless

[ebon copper]

since youd die on ||radiant|| if that were to happen

[ebon copper]

mostly latergame, but you can check it out now too

there is 1 important ability there

[timid horizon]

which is!?!?

[ebon copper]

||ismas||

im confused tho, are you speedrunning or not?

[timid horizon]

no im playing it for the first time ever

[trim hawk]

a lot of these technically optional stuff requires quite a lot of prior game knowledge to skip

and also usually pretty tricky execution

[timid horizon]

cro

[ebon copper]

why you wanna spoil yourself than, and why were you trying to dodge ||cdash||?

[timid horizon]

||huh dodge c dash?||

whats that

[ebon copper]

ahh, nvm, guess i just didnt read everything

anyway, you should visit every area if its your 1st time playing

just go wherever you have undiscovered stuff

[keen stream]

is it normal for ||normal radiance|| to die fast even if you fight her charmless

feels kinda weird

[harsh cairn]

I beat her second try easily

[ebon copper]

has no hp

[harsh cairn]

When you’re getting good at the game it’s an easy boss imo

[ebon copper]

how fast bosses die with ||fury|| is the funniest shit ever

[keen stream]

100% agree

[ebon copper]

i should try another rando with cursed hp

[stuck heron]

It was a bit hard for me but still not as hard as I imagined

[keen stream]

i think im the only one who suffered

is there a mod that adds ||normal radiance and thk|| in ||godhome||?

[mellow tundra]

pls exist mr mod

we need that

wait

[mellow tundra]

i found one

[keen stream]

whats the name?

[mellow tundra]

its called "||Hall of Gods Extras||"

[keen stream]

fighting ||thk|| over and over again just to reach ||radiance|| is ass

[mellow tundra]

fr

im gonna try it out

[trim hawk]

surely though ||after absrad you'd just obliterate regrad||

well I guess ||fury can be dicey still||

[mellow tundra]

wait

[runic maple]

late but thanks! i just got 112% :D only ||P5|| left

[ebon copper]

good luck on ||p5||

[runic maple]

||thank you! somehow my first attempt was my best but i went in blind and i didnt know NKG was gonna be there and died. currently suffering in HoG lol||

[remote jacinth]

Tbf both are free

[ebon copper]

the 1st attempt being the best makes sense

[keen stream]

im doing charmless n hitless for ||radiance||

[shut bear]

How do you get ||Shriek||?

[remote jacinth]

I did that for ||absrad|| still not incredibly challenging lmao

[remote jacinth]

||what spells do you have||

[keen stream]

nah, u jus built different

[drowsy yarrow]

Here's the end of my last ||p5ab|| run. I was extremely nervous and made some small mistakes but didn't get punished.

[keen stream]

how long did ||p5ab|| take you btw

[drowsy yarrow]

Total gameplay hours was about 365 the first time, although I have a tendency to leave the game running in the background for several hours. Total hours at this point is about 455. AFK hours might be a bit under 100.

When I got my last achievement, the total was about 200 I think.

[keen stream]

i mean the whole ||p5ab||

[drowsy yarrow]

Ohhh, 68:03 in game time. Recording is 69 minutes long.

[keen stream]

demnn

a full hour

iirc ||p5|| almost took me that long

[drowsy yarrow]

I do kind of want to get a clean run for youtube. This run was messy. But realistically I'll never get very far under an hour.

(Remto got 51 minutes and he's a god)

[stoic cedar]

the wr for ||p5ab|| is like 31 mins, its actually insane how fast it is

[drowsy yarrow]

My first ||p5|| was like 45 minutes I think

31 minutes with ||ab|| is nuts

Here's another ||Collector|| clip from my last run. This one was hectic but pretty nice.

[whole prairie]

just found this new place and i cant get past these things is it too early for me for this place?

[stoic cedar]

oh rip

forgot that was a thing

[stoic cedar]

just explore where u can, if theres smth blocking ur way then just explore elsewhere

[whole prairie]

Alright thank you

[light raptor]

I’m having trouble getting literally important stuff I need/want

I need to defeat the ||mantis lords|| to get the ||tram|| in the ||deepnest|| and get the ||tram pass||.

I’m also having trouble finding conifer in the ||crysatl peaks||

[acoustic sigil]

Do you

Imo you shouldn't play the game like a checklist

Just wonder around and you'll eventually find something

[harsh cairn]

Yeah

[light raptor]

That’s what I’ve been doing :3

[harsh cairn]

• ||tram pass || isn’t that useful anyways

[light raptor]

I either don’t end up anywhere, die, die again and lose all my geo, or I do the biggest circle in my entire life

[acoustic sigil]

I wouldn't worry too much about losing geo

[light raptor]

I try not to carry too much

[acoustic sigil]

If you have the map of an area, go to unexplored exits

[acoustic sigil]

Wise

[light raptor]

I’ll only have a good amount of geo if I need or want to buy something

Like charms

Etc,

[acoustic sigil]

Yeah that's a sound strategy

So what do you actually want to hear from us

In terms of tips

[native peak]

what's left?

[mellow tundra]

huh

weird

i also have 111% even tho i got everything

can you show your charms pls?

[native peak]

||I thought the Colosseum was last thing||

[mellow tundra]

not exactly the last thing

[native peak]

Sure

[native peak]

It was the only thing left

[mellow tundra]

rly

ok

[native peak]

||For me I already completed p4||

[mellow tundra]

thats weird

ok

btw

did you get a ||pale ore|| from the ||colosseum||?

[native peak]

Yeah

[mellow tundra]

did you upgrade your nail

[native peak]

Yeah as you can see it's fully upgraded

[mellow tundra]

oh

okk

[native peak]

Here

[mellow tundra]

hm

you got everythin

[light raptor]

I’m not sure currently, I just need to learn the ||mantis lords|| for now

[native peak]

Yeah idk why it is stuck on 111

[mellow tundra]

btw i did ||radhog|| and i went from 112 to 111

and it affects nothing in the percentage

which is pretty weird

[light raptor]

I do need health upgrades tho :/

[native peak]

I feel like I have completed everything

[mellow tundra]

i have completed everything

[native peak]

What's ||radhog radiance?||

[mellow tundra]

but my percentage just.. went down

||radhog|| is when you beat all ||bosses|| in ||radiant|| mode

[native peak]

Oh

[mellow tundra]

i did that and i went from 111 to 112

btw im boutta speedrun

hk

[native peak]

I wonder what should I do now I wanted 112 but it's stuck now

[mellow tundra]

me too

i have everything

[native peak]

||colosseum was hardest part for me||

[mellow tundra]

me roo

too

[native peak]

||pure vessel took me 1 hour colosseum took a lot of time||

||hardest boss was NKG||

[mellow tundra]

yeah fr

||nkg||| is so hard

[drowsy yarrow]

For 112%, check the ||Hollow Knight Completion Checklist||: ||https://hollowknightchecklist.com/||

[native peak]

Ok thanks

But I probably think I have done everything

[mellow tundra]

for me my percentage went from 112 to 111

[native peak]

But I guess I will check it again

[drowsy yarrow]

I've never heard of percentage points dropping, although I'm not familiar with glitches in Hollow Knight.

[mellow tundra]

i did ||radhog|| and my percentage dropped

[drowsy yarrow]

Try the save analyzer: ||https://reznormichael.github.io/hollow-knight-completion-check/||

[wanton spire]

Y is the ||second phase of radiance so long||😕

[native peak]

||i think i need to visit seer||

[wanton spire]

I’ve died like ten times on the ||second phase||

[mellow tundra]

how do i put in my save

[acoustic sigil]

||Only time I know of is when you give a charm to divine (you get the % back when you get the charm back)||

[acoustic sigil]

So what you want to do is read the text on the site

[mellow tundra]

yea

thats it

?

[acoustic sigil]

And communicate what part you don't understand

[mellow tundra]

ok

[wanton spire]

Any tips for the second phase of ||radiance ||

[light raptor]

All I have to do to beat the bosses is learn the movesets

[acoustic sigil]

||2nd phase as in platforms or spike floor?||

Lol

[mellow tundra]

i got how

[wanton spire]

Like when she ||falls first and then goes up to the middle platform||

[mellow tundra]

i got it

[light raptor]

…what

[mellow tundra]

wtf

it tells me i havent beaten ||hornet 1||

how do i have ||shade cloak|| then??

[acoustic sigil]

Can you send your save?

[light raptor]

Eh-wha-it’s monster ||hunter|| I-what-eh

[mellow tundra]

sure

like how

[acoustic sigil]

It's an npc you'll encounter at some point

[mellow tundra]

do i just send the user.dat

[acoustic sigil]

Yes

[mellow tundra]

ok

[native peak]

||thanks i removed her from existence👍 ||

[drowsy yarrow]

Congrats on ||112%||!

[mellow tundra]

here

[light raptor]

How is that a spoiler

He’s sitting

[acoustic sigil]

Every link is

[native peak]

||resting ground ost is so good||

[mellow tundra]

wtf

that was true

[wanton spire]

||pure vessel|| is the best one imo but ||resting ground|| is great too

[mellow tundra]

i havent beaten ||hornet 1|| FOR REAL

i beat her in a sec tho

cuz of ||pure nail||

[light raptor]

Well I’m gonna go then before break something

[native peak]

||resting ground one feels relaxing i forgot pure vessel one||

[light raptor]

Like a wall, or my phone

[acoustic sigil]

Did you by chance use mods lol

Given your ||notch count||

[mellow tundra]

yeah

honestly

i remove it sometimes

[wanton spire]

Tips for ||phase 2 of radiance||

[native peak]

let me fight him again to compare

[acoustic sigil]

Me when the mods break the game

[wanton spire]

U should

Both r great in their own perspectives

|| pure vessel is Js ethereal imo ||

[mellow tundra]

wtf

you can ||unmask mask maker||??

[stoic cedar]

yea, ||dive||

||his mask will fall off||

[mellow tundra]

i NEED to see that

[acoustic sigil]

@mellow tundra this should fix it. Just rename it to user2.dat or something (number is save slot)

[mellow tundra]

btw i got 112 already

i just killed ||hornet 1||

[native peak]

I accidentally closed hollow knight directly without exiting it manually

It didn't save
