[ebon copper]

it can, yes

[ruby shuttle]

you shouldnt be using ||elegy|| on ||radiant|| anyways

[ebon copper]

||elegy|| just gives less of a boost compared to the other ||3 notch cost charms||

[ruby shuttle]

why waste three ||notches|| on something like ||elegy|| instead of ||MoP||

[ebon copper]

and if you are looking for ||overcharm valu||e, than you should go for ||eater||

[ebon copper]

||mop||s also suboptimal

[ruby shuttle]

||qslash||

[ebon copper]

ye

||qslash|| is my fav charm anyway

[ruby shuttle]

mines ||strength||

top 2 best charms tbh

[hybrid plinth]

Sometimes range means nothing

[ebon copper]

i came to like ||shaman more than strenght||

[hybrid plinth]

||Watcher knights, for instance||

[ebon copper]

but top few anyways

and a good build will use all 3 of those anyway

[ruby shuttle]

||strength better for nail build, shaman better for spell build||. simple as that

[ebon copper]

not really, just shoot|| spells|| if they are too far out of range, otherwise just give chase

[ebon copper]

i mean, optimal non-||overcharm|| build has all 3

[hybrid plinth]

Anyone got a good coverall build for those fights?

I was using my ||P5|| build, but I'm experimenting with ||overcharms||

[ruby shuttle]

which boss? some bosses are better with different charms

[ebon copper]

||watcher knights||

[ruby shuttle]

ah

[ebon copper]

he mentioned beforehand

[ruby shuttle]

mb

[ebon copper]

anyway, id say that ||p5|| build is sufficent for them

[hybrid plinth]

Wait, how do you know that?

I never told you what I use

[ebon copper]

if you want ||overcharm|| you could go for: ||strenght, qslash, shaman, sbody, and soul eater||

[ruby shuttle]

if its good enough for ||p5|| then its good enough for ||watchers||

[hybrid plinth]

||Strength||, ||Quick Slash||, ||Sharp Shadow||, ||Shaman Stone||

[ruby shuttle]

take off ||ss||

[hybrid plinth]

I THINK there may have been a fifth, but don't quote me on that

[hybrid plinth]

I've had it on so long, I'm used to its behaviour

[ebon copper]

||ss|| is bait

[hybrid plinth]

Besides, it's saved my ass on many risky ||dashes||

[ebon copper]

if you want to do ||charm binding|| eventually, you will have to forget about it anyway

[ebon copper]

nahh, it made you pick up a bad habit is what it did

[daring fjord]

Hey guys, is there anyway to recover permanently lost geos?

[ruby shuttle]

no

[trail umbra]

for ||radiant|| you can go ||Quick Slash||, ||Shaman Stone||, ||Spell Twister||, ||Soul Catcher||, ||Soul Eater|| and literally spam ||Descending Dark|| (works for many bosses, not every)

[ruby shuttle]

thats not a good strat

[ebon copper]

that is also true

[trail umbra]

i mean try it

[ebon copper]

its alright

[trail umbra]

if it works its good

[edgy gorge]

|| This dude wants me to kill him?? This is kind of crazy. Am I supposed to actually do it? ||

[ebon copper]

it does insane dmg, but feels a bit cheezy

[trail umbra]

and trust me it works just fine

it is super cheesy

[hybrid plinth]

||Spare his life||

[ruby shuttle]

I love when my ||ddark staggers|| the boss and then ||unstaggers|| it at the same time

im looking at you ||hornet sentinel||

[edgy gorge]

Is there any use in || Pale Ore now that my blade is upgraded fully? ||

[ruby shuttle]

you shouldnt have any extra

[edgy gorge]

Coolio. I don't, but was wondering in case I found any later

[hasty turtle]

|| oro and mato...||

[ebon copper]

i mean, you got to ||p5,|| you shouldnt really be struggling with them

[ruby shuttle]

"shouldn't"

[ebon copper]

but, if you are, try using more ||descending dark||, it helps you a lot

[hasty turtle]

ok thanks

[idle falcon]

I got a question, ||where do I find a Pale Ore?||

[hasty turtle]

||crystal peak , nosk , grub , essences , ancient basin|| and i think that's all

[lethal flame]

there's also 1 in the ||colosseum||

[full rain]

Is it better to keep ||kingsoul|| or turn it into ||void heart||?

[lethal flame]

||kingsoul||'s only purpose it to be converted into ||void heart||

[idle falcon]

Thx a lot!

[full rain]

Isnt ||kingsoul|| just a better version of ||hiveblood|| though? It seems like it would be a pretty good charm

[lethal flame]

again, ||kingsoul|| isn't supposed to be used as implied by its heavy 5 ||notch|| cost and barely noticeable soul regen effect

[full rain]

Ah i see

Thank you

[lethal flame]

and ||hiveblood|| is a terrible charm

yes

[full rain]

Okay cool

[hasty turtle]

It's useful for ||the jump in white palace||

[neat karma]

that does not change said fact

[lethal flame]

||deep focus + grubsong|| is just a better alternative

there are no use cases for ||hiveblood|| where it is the optimal choice

[hasty turtle]

yea you are right

I never think that for ||white palace||

[neat karma]

wasnt it ||deepfocusgrubsongelegy||

[lethal flame]

||elegy|| isn't really needed with all the ||wingmoulds|| and ||soul totems|| around

[neat karma]

yeah but there are still places without em

better to guarantee it

[lethal flame]

with ||deepfocus + grubsong|| you lose 3 soul for every 2 masks you heal

you have to massively fuck up to go in with full soul, bunch of ||soul totems|| and ||wingmoulds|| around and still run out

but yea it's a nice safety net

[chrome sun]

lol i already finished the game, but thanks anyway

[edgy gorge]

How do I get this?

[neat karma]

Have a ||big bee smash into the wall||

[edgy gorge]

Gotcha, thanks

[hazy grove]

||is there a way i can fight back the bosses i already defeated?||

[glad lava]

much later in the game yes

like endgame

[neat karma]

They asked if there was a way not to spoil everything directly

[languid radish]

🔹 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.

[full rain]

I just beat ||the hollow knight and radiance|| but neither of them are showing up in ||godhome|| in that supposed to happen

[full rain]

Sorry about that

[neat karma]

Yes, ||those dont appear in godhome||

You can always ||refight them in the overworld though||

[full rain]

Do ||pure vessel and absolute radiance|| show up?

[neat karma]

Yes

[midnight hound]

||hey guys someone told me to do coloseum 2 to advance in the game, so now what should i do?||

[potent shadow]

||i got 4k and 3 pale ore, should i upgrade my nail or just wait? I didnt defeat all dream bosses yet||

[acoustic sigil]

Just do it now

[acoustic sigil]

Uhm idk who told you that cause it's kinda irrelevant but can you send a screenshot of your inventory and map?

[potent shadow]

alr, thanks

[midnight hound]

yep

[acoustic sigil]

Well glad we establised that you are capable of that

[midnight hound]

oh sorry the map i didnt send the right one

now is right

[neat karma]

You should go explore more ||of ancient basin, or in your case, Bacia Antiga||

[midnight hound]

i did all of it

or am i wrong

yea i did it all

[neat karma]

Theres still something missing, dont you notice anything weird on the map?

[midnight hound]

well 2 actually but i cant use one and the other i couldnt find any entrance

[neat karma]

Its more middle down

[midnight hound]

i cant get there

there is no entrance

[neat karma]

Just go back tl where i marked

[midnight hound]

hm okay

thanks

[midnight hound]

OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH RIGHT I FORGOT I GOT THAT THANKS

[midnight hound]

am i suposed to do something here?

[ebon copper]

go back to the bottom and ||crystal dash|| to the right

[midnight hound]

oh no sure i did that, but i was asking about those two shining things there

[ebon copper]

im not sure i understand whyt you mean

the lever you flipped, was to turn on the lamp

[potent shadow]

||do i really need to kill all of the dream bosses to finish the game? ||

[glad lava]

No

[ebon copper]

it has lore, but thats about it other than letting you access the far right

[ebon copper]

depends what you call finish

[midnight hound]

the big giant glass thing

and the wall

[glad lava]

||the dream bosses are optional, the dreamers whose masks are marked on your map are required||

[ebon copper]

there isnt anything thats interractable there other than the lever you have already activated

[midnight hound]

i see. thanks

[ebon copper]

np

than no

||you can get an ending without any of the dream bosses||

[potent shadow]

man i forgo

[midnight hound]

last one, there is something here that i cant see?

[glad lava]

yes

[potent shadow]

alr, thanks

[potent shadow]

thanks

[glad lava]

look at the statues in the room, do they remind you of anything

[ebon copper]

try using ||wraiths||

[midnight hound]

not really

[trail umbra]

he doesnt have it yet

he sent a screenshot of his inventory

[ebon copper]

ahh

[trail umbra]

nothing you can do there yet

[ebon copper]

than nothing for now

[glad lava]

then the room isn’t relevant to you yet

[midnight hound]

oh got it

where should i get the thing that i need for this room

[glad lava]

Look around ||fog canyon||, on the left side

[ebon copper]

i belive its in ||fog canyon||

[midnight hound]

thx guys

im really slow for this kinda stuff

[hybrid plinth]

||Zote|| feels a bit unfair to me

||His Life Ender attack has such a tiny telegraph before it rushes you, and sometimes it randomly fails and he trips. It's infuriating||

[frosty gazelle]

Nothing we can help you with than ||Hornet|| has already taught you

||git gud scrub||

[glad lava]

incredibly humorous

[glad lava]

||pogo it, then dash away when he jumps to the air||

[real blade]

Im stuck on ||kingdoms edge horne|| plz help

[hybrid plinth]

I do pogo it

The trouble is that sometimes he ||won't even do the charge, he just trips immediately||

||His far too long hitbox still pokes you even so||

||Does the hall of gods all marks reward open at all ascended or all radiant?||

[unreal snow]

hello how do i ||save zote again||? ||can't seem to find him after first interaction, i know i saved him, i recall the following interactions take place in the city of tears and in deepnest||

||just don't remember where||

[stoic cedar]

||if u r talking about void idol, that unlocks after beating all bosses on at least attuned||

[hybrid plinth]

||I see, so I just need to kill Radiance||

good lord

[ebon copper]

i have a full guide

[stoic cedar]

||ull have to react accordingly. When u see gpz telegraph the flail attack, u should immediately jump up to try and pogo him. But if he trips immediately instead, u need to react quickly and air stall instead, either with a double jump or dash, to clear the shockwave||

[ebon copper]

made it yesterday, now time i can finally use it

[ebon copper]

you can also just ||ddark||, thats what the no hit ppl do a lot in that fight

[midnight hound]

||uhhhhhhh i found someone inside a glass, where should i go to free her?||

[ebon copper]

||#hk-help message||

[stoic cedar]

||eh for the flail attack I only ddark near the end of it, if gpz trips instead of going for flail attack u can easily clear the shockwave without ddark||

[ebon copper]

it just trivilises it a bit more

[teal oracle]

||ddark is the solution to half of all boss related problems in hk||

[midnight hound]

||better, where can i find the moth?||

[ebon copper]

[frosty magnet]

||any tips on what to do before trying P5?||

[ebon copper]

i mean, cant really give help on ||p5|| as a whole, just play your best, and tell us what exact bosses you struggle with the most, so we can give better advice

[languid kelp]

What does this do

[ebon copper]

you need 3k

[neat karma]

Reading comprehension

[languid kelp]

What do I get from this, though

[frosty magnet]

|| I mean is it expected to die 1st time P5 to absrad since I feel confident in most bosses, maybe just Markoth, Xero, sisters and flying nosk since i have never beaten them. So should I am to get to absrad just so i can practice him ||

[ebon copper]

you think he meant what other things to do before?, i understood it the other way, both are possible ways to understand what he said

[zinc verge]

yes

[languid kelp]

@ebon copper

[neat karma]

Mine

[ebon copper]

||a vessel fragment||

[languid kelp]

Ah, ty

[ebon copper]

what you want man

[neat karma]

8

[drowsy yarrow]

I recommend to just try it. There's no harm in trying, so long as you accept that you will die some silly death most likely.

Here's my tips for ||p5||: ||#hk-help message||

[drowsy yarrow]

^

[ebon copper]

jesus, i didnt remember that ||markoth|| was this bad, im strugglin

[torpid rune]

Does som1 have a list of ||charms i can get b4 I get d dive||

[frosty gazelle]

Don’t worry, everyone hates him

[ebon copper]

i mean, ||dive|| barely locks any charms strictly speaking

[inner robin]

Yeah I can’t think of any in specific

[ebon copper]

i just wanna have a good vid, and its actually messing with me

[inner robin]

||spell twister can be accessed becore you even get to soul master||

[torpid rune]

Bc I've been stuck for like a week and I'm tryna make the fight ez er by getting whatever I can b4 it

[inner robin]

||peaks has alternate entrance||

[torpid rune]

Have that

[ebon copper]

and that is true for every other charm in the game

[inner robin]

Yeah

[ebon copper]

optional ability basically

[inner robin]

I feel like that wouldn’t be an issue of charms at this point, I’m sorry to say

[torpid rune]

Ive been there im tryna get the ones there rn

[torpid rune]

Yeah ik, im just tryna burn time rn

B4 I spend another 12 hours straight fighting him

[inner robin]

Do you just want tips instead

[frosty gazelle]

||markoth|| always fucks me up just because ||he’s really the only boss you can’t really learn, you just have to pray to the void that his bitchy little shield doesn’t decide to turn your head into a cup while it either moves at Mach 999 or you’re just wailing on him with spells||

[torpid rune]

Idk if you'll give me any know ones, but sure

[ebon copper]

my problem is taht the shields speed varies so much

[frosty gazelle]

It really just feels like luck

[inner robin]

What specifically are you struggling with? (Don’t just say everything)

[ebon copper]

itd be much easier if he couldnt just literarly keep it somewhere

[frosty gazelle]

And this is why everyone hates him

[tame root]

when was the new bot added?

[torpid rune]

Getting to him b4 he telaports away and getting good hits in while between atks

[ebon copper]

its funny how im better at ||absrad|| than him, since i just did so much ||absrad||

[radiant herald]

i think ||quick focus, shaman stone, and lifeblood heart are good and quite early game||

[torpid rune]

Qf is the only one i done gat

[ebon copper]

im just being rtarded dw

[frosty gazelle]

||absrad is a bitch and hard as shit but they’re learnable, almost every one of their attacks has a specific counter that flows into the counter for the next attack||

[inner robin]

||remember you can use dash to make yourself faster, and fireball is a great ranged options (it can even do multi-hits if you shoot it the same directions he’s moving when he does the dash attack)||
Also can I see your inventory?

[ebon copper]

i wanna do it with no ||overcharm|| and no ||narts||, no specified build, just the ||p5|| one and i wanna get it somewhat clenly too

[torpid rune]

Charms inv?

[ebon copper]

im very avare

lel

[inner robin]

That’s kind of a slur and also I wasn’t talking to you there

[inner robin]

Uh both

[torpid rune]

One sec

[ebon copper]

welp

[radiant herald]

||lifeblood heart|| can be bought from ||salubra for 250 geo, and shaman stone for only 220 geo.||

[frosty gazelle]

Did this guy just say ignore ||shaman stone||

Everyone this man fr

(I’m joking)

[radiant herald]

I didn't mean entirely, as it's VERY good, but the original question was ||charms before ddive||

[inner robin]

Unnecessary spoilers also I think??

[stoic cedar]

||shaman stone is a very earlygame charm which can be bought at salubra for 220 geo. i would highly recommend getting it||

[torpid rune]

There

[torpid rune]

Here

[inner robin]

Thanks!

[teal oracle]

hows it going on in hk help

anything interesting?

[torpid rune]

Ive been stuck on sm for a week

[teal oracle]

||soul master?||

[torpid rune]

Yeah

[teal oracle]

mmm

[radiant herald]

oh wait i'm such an idiot, i won't waste ur time trying to explain the whole thing, but before i checked the wiki a summary said somewherre late game, then i added it after seeing the wiki, and forgot i even checked the wiki 😭

[inner robin]

||if you’re fighting a boss you really don’t need compass or swarm. Also dash master is seen as a kinda mediocre charm in general. Shaman stone is really good, though, it boosts your spells damage by quite a bit! It’s very generic to recommend it but it really is just that good||

[torpid rune]

Yeah I'm just exploring rn and thats what I use while exploring

[frosty gazelle]

Ok yeah you don’t really need to use any of those charms, I would personally grab ||longnail and shaman stone||

[inner robin]

||fireball+shamanstone does just over double your nail damage||

Currently

[torpid rune]

Ok

[torpid rune]

I use stone while fighting bosses

[frosty gazelle]

Yeah ||shaman stone|| is just undeniably a really powerful charm

[inner robin]

||And remember double hits! You can get twice the damage for only one cast||

[torpid rune]

How,

?

[heady onyx]

does any one now tips for ||grimm||

[inner robin]

||but overall for soul master remember that while yiu can be really mobile, sometimes it’s best to let the boss come to you if it’s really fast||

[frosty gazelle]

Wait for him to do the attack where he just runs across the ground, get behind him and just ||fireball|| him in his back I believe

[torpid rune]

I don't know where to get the ||oar|| for it

[torpid rune]

Oh that would be useful

[inner robin]

||if the boss is moving in one direction predictably and then you shoot the fireball in that direction it will often end up hitting twice. (This is easier with large hit box bosses like soulmaster!) It’s not necessary to do so in order to beat him at all but it’s just something ti keep in mind I guess||

[torpid rune]

This is bc som1 said upgrade nial

[torpid rune]

Ok

[frosty gazelle]

||don’t have much advice for Grimm, but from what I remember of his fight, try not to move around too much, let his attacks come to you as you can try to either pogo or wail on him for some attacks, what helps me is just trying to stay close to him, other people here will probably have better tips that me||

[torpid rune]

Does anyone know of 2 more charms i can easily get rn so I can buy one more ||notch||?

[torpid rune]

This is my current charm count

[inner robin]

Um I can give you a hint for a trash charm you shouldn’t use?

[gleaming carbon]

||you can get glowing womb thats at forgotten cvross raods||

[torpid rune]

Ok idc if it's bad I just wanna get 2 more charms quickly

[inner robin]

No

[torpid rune]

Don't i need that one flying move to get it

[inner robin]

||the middle area of greenpath has three vertical hallways, check the third one||

Near the bottom

[drowsy yarrow]

||Markoth|| can be made 100% consistent with the right approach: ||#hk-help message||

[gleaming carbon]

oh yeah i didnt see that you didnt have that sory

[torpid rune]

Ok ill get back to you if I can or cannot find it

[torpid rune]

You all good

[torpid rune]

||Was it the thorns of agony?||

[inner robin]

Yep

I will just repeat this: don’t use it it’s really not worth in any way

[torpid rune]

Ok, thats what I've heard

[torpid rune]

You got any more hints on a charm i can get rq?

[inner robin]

Oops

||look at your map and go to all the unexplored bits. (Not just in greenpath)||

[torpid rune]

Arebyou talking about where it shows a path dut I haven't gone yet?

[inner robin]

Yeah

That’s also the way to get anywhere else in the game

||if you can’t get somewhere yet then mark it with a map pin from Iseldas shop or something||

[torpid rune]

Bet

[inner robin]

It’s fun to explore Hollow knight encourages that

[torpid rune]

Bet ill get back to you if I have any more questions

[torpid rune]

||Would you recommend peakas or deap first?||

[inner robin]

Spoilers tags please

[torpid rune]

Oh sorry mb

[inner robin]

And I suggest ||crystal peaks, deepnest is kinda sucky sometimes||

[torpid rune]

Ok

[inner robin]

||(I am personally a deepnest enjoyer but it took a while for me to properly appreciate the place)||

[hollow bramble]

||p5 charms? i've tried once while using strength, quickslash, mark of pride, grubsong, steadybody
i think i should i be using shama stone cuz its really strong but idk what to replace||

[inner robin]

||MOP, probably||

[hollow bramble]

||alr thanks - i have another question what are the requiremnets to get hiveblood in the checkpoint rooms? is it all bindings (ik it doesnt have to be in 1 run) for pantheons 1-4?||

[inner robin]

||hiveblood the charm..?||

Oh you mean ||lifeblood||

||yeah, you just need to do a certain amount of bindings in pantheons total||

[inner robin]

||theres different milestones where you get more lifeblood. (You can see based off the pips above the blue door next near the hall of gods entrance)||

Oops sorry for ping

[cursive lotus]

I'm having trouble with the ||mantis lords|| any tips to defeat the boss?

[solid heart]

That's the best build, that or replace ||mop for shaman as you said||
Both are the best builds

[cursive lotus]

my build is ||Lifeblood Heart, Fury of the Fallen, and Sprintmaster||

I have 5 ||notchs||

[devout walrus]

Maybe not ||fury|| or ||sprint master||

||fury||'s hard to use that early

[cursive lotus]

I would send a picture of my charms, but I don't have my phone and I play on console

[devout walrus]

And ||sprint master|| just sucks

Also have you found the ||heal opportunity|| in ||the second phase||

[cursive lotus]

No, I have no idea what your talking about

the only times I ||heal|| is when one ||dies|| and I heal a bit

[devout walrus]

When||they both throw the blades you can heal immediately after||

[cursive lotus]

oh

I could never find a way to heal in the fight

[devout walrus]

Took me a while to figure it out too

Also what charms do you have

[cursive lotus]

any other tips?

[devout walrus]

I could give a charm loadout

[cursive lotus]

I don't really know hk "slang" what does that mean?

[devout walrus]

I don't either I just use what other people use, it's mainly shortening of things like ||fury of the fallen|| is just ||fury||

[languid kelp]

||I beat Broken Vessel in one try and I'm getting my ass whooped by Lost Kin||

Great stuff

[devout walrus]

Happens with ||dream fights||

[languid kelp]

Indeed

Thank God I found a shortcut to the fight though

Makes it faster

[cursive lotus]

okay, I'm going to try again

[devout walrus]

Sometimes it just takes time to beat bosses, but they feel rewarding a lot of the time

[languid kelp]

||Bro Lost Kin is literally reading all of my moves how tf do I beat this guy||

Probably a skill issue

[devout walrus]

It's just fast, I hit it when it did ||ground pound|| or pogoed ||the dash|| worked for me, but I took a lot of damage

[languid kelp]

||The issue is that it's jumping pattern is so off beat||

I can't predict it at all besides ||ground pound||

[inner robin]

Don’t jump

[languid kelp]

Makes it hard to avoid the ||infected ghouls||

[inner robin]

Upslash

[devout walrus]

||defenders crest|| works

[languid kelp]

Hm, I've tried that but sometimes I get comboed

[languid kelp]

That thing has use?

[inner robin]

||the infected balloons only have 1 hp each so yes it can be effective||

[devout walrus]

It kills the ||balloons||while they fly at you

[inner robin]

I’d still recommend up slashing though

[stoic cedar]

||for the empty jumps, u should hold off on moving around too much until u see where its gonna land. If u try to dodge out of the way prematurely, a lot of the time u r just gonna dash straight into where LK lands. So u should wait until u know the trajectory for sure, then dodge accordingly||

[inner robin]

||for the ground pound attack the safest spot is right next to LK in my opinion. Plus it lets you get in more damage by smacking it right away. Also fireball spell can be particularly effective against LK because it will often knock it back and sometimes deal two hits of damage! When it does the air dash just stay on the floor and upslash as it goes by||

[torpid rune]

Can anyone give me hints where more charms I can get b4 ||d dive||

[midnight hound]

bruh im lost again

[ebon trail]

why not just get|| d dive first||? || d dive doesn't unlck more charms ||either

[midnight hound]

guys can you tell me where can i find the other maps or what to do now? i EXPLORED EVERYTHING

I SWEAR

[torpid rune]

Bc im trying to get one more charm spot and I need one more charm to get it

[torpid rune]

^

[ebon trail]

|| above greenpart and right of crystal peak||

[midnight hound]

you saved my life. which should i go first?

[tepid meadow]

you did not explore everything

there is 1 whole new area left to be explored

[ebon trail]

doesn't matter which

[ebon trail]

i think 3?

[midnight hound]

i meant i explored the areas i unlocked...

[midnight hound]

thanks

[tepid meadow]

yes

eh hrad to tell with map anyway

im tring to visualize the complete one lol

[tepid meadow]

||if abyss is not counted part of ancient basin then 4 areas left||

[midnight hound]

i did already

so 3

[ebon trail]

don't see || abyss || on map

[midnight hound]

i think it doesnt show this way

[midnight hound]

right in the middle or right up there?

[ebon trail]

if you look at map carefull you missed somewhere (not up)

[midnight hound]

if its where im thinking

im here now and there is nothing

if its up in the middle

makes sense

ok its not the two obvious place cause i cant get up

[stoic cedar]

Look for a place u can drop down

[ebon trail]

check borders of that map

[midnight hound]

you sure is that big hole?

[ebon trail]

try it

[midnight hound]

i remember droping there and there was nothing

[ebon trail]

no, you just went across

but i don't think you went down

[midnight hound]

hm...

lemme see

[tepid meadow]

did ||pop|| again took 20 mins, thats 30 mins less than my 1st try

[gleaming carbon]

nice

[full rain]

Anyone have any charm recommendations for ||trial of the fool||

[knotty stratus]

||shaman stone, quickslash, strength, and either spell twister or nailmasters glory and another random one notch charm||

[somber hill]

go back to the ||map shop|| methinks but im not sure

oh yea im dumb

can't assume u have those

[midnight hound]

how many times the last boss kneel before he dies

[amber perch]

theres no set number, its based on the number of hits you do not the damage

[midnight hound]

uh so how many

[somber hill]

mb bot

lmao

[midnight hound]

huh

this boss was really easy

what should i do now

is it over

[amber perch]

no

||theres more endings you can get||

plus more stuff to find

[cyan valley]

So what do I do after I beat the ||mantis lords|| I’m lost at this point

[midnight hound]

alt f4

[amber perch]

hard to say, you can beat them at like any point in the game

[zinc verge]

explore ||fungal wastes|| more

[midnight hound]

oops

[cyan valley]

Ok is there something I should be looking for?

And where is that at again.

[somber hill]

the place u beat that boss

no just explore if u don't know what to do

[zinc verge]

show your map for the area

[somber hill]

idt there's any major things left there tho

but exploring is the way

it's the major part of the early to mid-late game

[cyan valley]

Did

[zinc verge]

i asked for ||fungal wastes|| map

[cyan valley]

Oh mb

[cyan valley]

How do I get there again 😅

[zinc verge]

💀

[zinc verge]

didn't you just defeat ||the mantis lords||?

[cyan valley]

No I beat them and have been wandering around since

[zinc verge]

pass through ||fog canyons|| and then you will reach ||fungal wastes||

[cyan valley]

Ok

[cyan valley]

My pass through about how far?

[stoic cedar]

to the right of ||queens station||

[cyan valley]

Ima take a break been at this for a bit, thanks for the help

[thorn fern]

how do i get there?

[gleaming carbon]

||Through fungal wastes||

[thorn fern]

alr, thx

[gleaming carbon]

Just explore more

[untold zephyr]

||When do I unlock dream nail's upgrade with teleport? After grinding 1000 something (I don't know what is this currency called)? ||

[stoic cedar]

||900 essence||

[untold zephyr]

Oh, I am close. Thanks!

[celest quarry]

Does anyone have tips for || NKG ||

[serene jackal]

I just got|| crystal ||heart what should I do now

[hollow pendant]

go across the long corridors in ||greenpath|| and ||mines||

[serene jackal]

Thanks

[zinc verge]

first of all, whats your build?

[hushed egret]

Wait does ||soul|| enemies have lower hp when you have lower nail damage?

[zinc verge]

no

[hushed egret]

Nah cuz this dude got 1 shot

[stoic cedar]

||those are grimmkin novices, not soul enemies or whatever u called them. and yes those guys do scale with nail upgrades||

[hushed egret]

Here's one from a ||soul warrior||

[stoic cedar]

||that is not soul warrior, that is gorb||

[zinc verge]

get more ||notches||

[celest quarry]

ok

[hushed egret]

Welp here's another one

[zinc verge]

thats ||gorb||

[zinc verge]

thats ||no eyes||

[celest quarry]

I think i've only gotten four

[lethal flame]

that's clearly ||soul warrior|| 1, 2 and 3

[zinc verge]

you must have all 11 ||notches||

[hushed egret]

I have ||soul twister|| equip

What do they called again?

[stoic cedar]

||soul twister is an enemy, its not smth u can "equip". i think u meant to say spell twister||

[hushed egret]

Iim bad at remembering names

Spirit warrior i guess XD

[zinc verge]

💀 💀 💀

[hushed egret]

Imma call them that

[lethal flame]

they're ||dream warriors|| bro

it's not that difficult

[hushed egret]

Thanks

I guess...

[pale anvil]

Erm actually🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
I’m*🤓🤓

[untold zephyr]

Do I really have to obtain all the 6 ||pale ores|| to fully upgrade ||nail||

[stoic cedar]

yes

[untold zephyr]

Oh my lord

||I have to find all the grubs too||

🥀

[twilit gale]

||if you banish nkg can you fight him in godhome?||

[stoic cedar]

Yes

[hybrid lichen]

Can you ||get 112% by fighting nkg?||

[keen stream]

you still get % if you ||banish nkg||

[hybrid lichen]

What abt ||carefree melody?||

[keen stream]

still %

[hybrid lichen]

You can only get ||Carefree melody by banishing nkg, if u don't will u still get the charm||

[keen stream]

yeh

but if you kill ||nkg|| you get a cooler charm (but not gambling)

[hybrid lichen]

Ahh

[ebon copper]

you can either get max level ||grimm child or careful melody||, cant get both on 1 savefile

[ebon copper]

its the worse charm

[hybrid lichen]

Oh

[ebon copper]

as it has no use even in modded play

[hybrid lichen]

Tysmm

[keen stream]

||carefree melody|| is actually worth the gamble in ||p5||

[hybrid lichen]

Rlly?

[keen stream]

yeh, it saved my first ||p5||

[ebon copper]

if you fight|| nkg|| you will get the ||grimmchild|| maxed out, if you banich you will get ||cheerful melody||, as meii said they do both give %, so it does not matter that much which one you take

[hybrid lichen]

Also charms for ||radiance? I have fragile charms||

[keen stream]

managed to kill ||absrad|| cause the charm triggered when i got hit on the last phase

[hybrid lichen]

DAMM

[keen stream]

you can keep em that way, you wont die in ||godhome|| anyway

[hybrid lichen]

9h alr

[hybrid lichen]

Nono as in the ||final boss, not on godhome||

[keen stream]

also another form of gambling

[keen stream]

oh... if you die it breaks

[hybrid lichen]

Yeah

[hybrid lichen]

Cooking or cooked

[keen stream]

so i suggest you use ||spells|| instead

[keen stream]

cooking

[ebon copper]

||quick slash, shaman stone, steady body, and soul eater if you dont want to get unbreakables||

[hybrid lichen]

So a ||spell build||

[hybrid lichen]

Tysm

[hybrid lichen]

Why ||steady body?||

[ebon copper]

you can change it, it helps with endgame tech

[keen stream]

how many ||notch|| do u have rn?

[hybrid lichen]

Ahh

[hybrid lichen]

||I'm almost done w 112% the game I js needa do radiance for true ending and p3 n p4||

||I even did path of pain😭||

[ebon copper]

so you should have ||11 notches||

[hybrid lichen]

Ofc

I forgot to make my charms ||unbreakable and banished the troupe||

[ebon copper]

you should do this with normal ||rad|| in the same file

[keen stream]

das fine

[keen stream]

alr did

[hybrid lichen]

Il only die to ||radiance||

[ebon copper]

you did ||1 hp radiance on ss?||

brooo

[hybrid lichen]

So I don't needa worry

[keen stream]

||strength|| aint even worth using against ||radiance||, she's too soft

[hybrid lichen]

Ah

[keen stream]

she'd die easily with just ||shriek||

even ||absrad|| dies to ||shriek|| easily

[hybrid lichen]

Il spam ||shriek|| then

[keen stream]

yep

[ebon copper]

ohh, btw how doable do you think this is?(i practiced it for a couple of attempts as someone in discussion did it with ||ss||, and i just have to make sure its perfectly fine without):

but even getting past the pufferfish phase once can be kinda tough

the gimmick is no jumping

[keen stream]

||nkg|| took me 2 -3 tries to hitless in ||steel soul||

[ebon copper]

yeah, but its kinda hard without jumping

you see

[keen stream]

ohh

i didnt notice it

[ebon copper]

ik, it just looks like im goofing

[keen stream]

pretty doable imo

only problem will be puff attack

[ebon copper]

ye, it just hurts, so easy to mess up

[keen stream]

lemme try it rq

[ebon copper]

well try ig, just remap jump to something you dont push

also before doing that i did ||radabsrad|| 2nd try, thats the fastest yet

possibly getting some consistency going

[keen stream]

i might be too ass to do it

[ebon copper]

im telling you it isnt quite easy

if you want to do dmg you need so hit many few frame slash and ||dash|| imputs

[keen stream]

i thought you was saying jus normal kill

[untold zephyr]

||Grimm child's aim is peak, have to go up close just for it to miss the easiest shot||

[keen stream]

but i found a difficult way to dodge that bat shit

[untold zephyr]

And damage isn't that good too tbh

Summons are mid overall

[ebon copper]

if that makes you feel better, im pretty shit at ||nkg|| normally, cause i never really practiced it much

you can probably get a faster kill than me

[keen stream]

||dash|| through it in a perfect timing and you wont get hit by the 2nd low bat

[ebon copper]

both bats can be low

sadly

can you ||dash|| thru both?

[keen stream]

i managed to do it twice in a row tho

[keen stream]

ig?

lemme try again

[ebon copper]

ye, its random with the height

[keen stream]

nah, cant do both

[ebon copper]

i was thinking for a sec that ||dashmaster|| may be cool for it, but than i realise that the whole point of this is that i was doing it with my actual build

[ebon copper]

ye, than its either going close, ||ddark||, or jumping off

[keen stream]

||stalwart shell|| could be a huge help for jumples

[ebon copper]

ye, but like, imma just do it with my barebones build, cause its cooler

ill do it today, i belive

[keen stream]

yehh... im too ass to do it myself

[twilit gale]

||if you banish the grim troupe, can you fix fragile charms?||

[hybrid lichen]

No

[keen stream]

||leg eater|| do the fixing

[hybrid lichen]

Oohh

||u can't turn fragile into unbreakable if u banish Grimm troupe||

[livid shoal]

That's what you must feel like rn

[charred wraith]

Do you need ||ogrim's lever to get to isma's? For context: I did the skip from the basin elevator||

[livid shoal]

I believe you do

[keen stream]

iirc ||divine|| wont go away if you didnt feed her ||leg eater||

[stoic cedar]

with skips, no

[charred wraith]

Too late. I'm alr fighting him lmao

It's fine. I'm going for 100% ||steelsoul anyway. Dung defender gives me 3%||

||Ogrim fight taking a bit too long since i accidentally went in with my travel kit...||

[livid shoal]

Tragic l

[mortal lava]

Any suggestions how to beat

||hornet 2||

[ebon copper]

the skip to do that once is harder than the whole of ||steel soul||

its one of them very hard skips

[charred wraith]

Oh, well... I had ||cdash. So i did the skip towards the left which onoy needs two dashes||

[ebon copper]

ahh, thant its much more managable

||cdash|| skips arent easy, but very doable

[charred wraith]

I actually also did ||qga in my second try without much practice yesterday. I didn't explore queen's gardejs since i alr did herrah, but still it was dope||

[ebon copper]

damn 2nd try ||qga|| is crazy

well played

[charred wraith]

Thank you, thank you

[stuck heron]

Idk if know but I didn't know that at that time so you can hit ||spikes|| with your ||nail|| to get rid of them

Idk what else to say

[mortal lava]

Ight ty

[calm sedge]

Yeah my suggestion is just destroy the balls as fast as possible

[livid shoal]

||Spells destroy the spikes too||

[last crest]

||how to absrad?||

[slim harness]

So true

That is the question

[livid shoal]

[last crest]

||dumbass knight can't make a cobble generator||

[proper frost]

Discord search the boss name and find the answers surely

I dont feel like it

[charred wraith]

The list looks a little crude and unpolished, but i don't wanna exert more effort... This is the list of percent checks for me to do ||100% steelsoul and 100% speedrun along with nkg achievement and i'm going for true ending to satisfy myself. The items in red are finished (i forgot to cross spoomshroom). Yellow lines are future percentages for dream no more and my personal plans (+ charms from shops i haven't bought yet). What else are the easier percentages to do?||

I'm at 50% currently

[drowsy yarrow]

||#hk-help message||

[ebon copper]

depending on your skillset, the ||pantheons from 1-4|| can be some of the most easy to get, and even if you fail you wont die

[drowsy yarrow]

Which is harder, ||R3 or R4||?

[stoic cedar]

||some easier percentages include purchasable charms (iselda, salubra, etc.), wraiths, shade soul, vessel fragments, mask shards, narts, dream warriors||. tbh i would suggest just getting ||wraiths||, beat ||hornet 2|| and clear out the stuff in ||abyss||, then u have all the movement abilities and can start going around the map and clearing it out.

[ebon copper]

im pretty sure ||pure nail|| is %

[charred wraith]

*i don't wanna ||upgrade nail|| tho

[ebon copper]

why exactly

[charred wraith]

Ah right... killing ||nailsmith is also an achievement i haven't gotten. AAAA||

[charred wraith]

For easier boss fights since ||bosses hp scale with nail||

[stoic cedar]

only applicable to some fights, a lot of the fights arent like that

[livid shoal]

I thought that was only the ||Soul Warriors||

[charred wraith]

Hm... that definitely simplifies things

[ebon copper]

you shouldnt worry about that, its only applicable to ||dream bosses||, and zjose fights kinda just get destroyed either way

[charred wraith]

I have 15 hours for the other achievement anyways

Nop

I just wanna do it because i don't have that achievement

[stuck heron]

Oh

[stoic cedar]

well, its ||dream warriors|| specifically, not ||dream bosses||

[ebon copper]

i didnt remember the correct term thx

[stuck heron]

Then my mercilessness did not go to waste

[charred wraith]

Got it. Fight the floating b************* first before upgrades

[drowsy yarrow]

Have you seen ||the hollow knight completionist checklist? https://hollowknightchecklist.com/||

[charred wraith]

Oh... wait, i don't think i can do ||p4 anyway. I don't wanna go through trial of fools. If i remember, you need to reach godtamer but not beat her. And i just don't wanna go thriugh that crap again||

[stoic cedar]

yea its mainly ||dream warriors|| that scale with ||nail upgrades||, tho theres some random bosses like ||hive knight|| which also scale like that but that shouldnt be too much of a concern since the scaling is not as severe as ||dream warriors||

[ebon copper]

you dont

only ||2nd colo|| is required

[charred wraith]

Oooh that's fun. Kind of... bs's my screenshot list lmao

[stuck heron]

Do they scale on ||pantheons?||

[ebon copper]

no

[charred wraith]

Really? Well, that's be dope

[ebon copper]

ye, the reason you need ||colo2|| is the ||oblobs||

funny how those arent missable, but ||godtamer|| is

[charred wraith]

Lemme see how much % that'll be then for the next maybe 5 mins

Oh wait, i need to fight ||collector...||

Ugh... i'll put ||p4 on a maybe||

[drowsy yarrow]

Honestly you'll still destroy them in less than 30 seconds either way most likely. Not worth putting off upgrades.

[charred wraith]

+35% not including ||charms (except hiveblood because mind as well), masks, and souls||

15% left

Oh wait, do you need ||all nailarts for the p1-3 bosses?||

Eh, mind as well get them anyway

[livid shoal]

Gets a charm too right?

[charred wraith]

Yee. Forgot to add that to the +35%. But yeah

I could prob go do ||p1-4 then, but maybe not masks and souls except for the easy ones to alr get. It's gonna be annoying going back to godhome but whatever...||

[drowsy yarrow]

I skipped ||trial of the fool, p1-4, troupe completion, one mask, one soul vessel, and 3 dream fights|| for my ||speed completion and steel heart achievements||

[charred wraith]

You see, the wording makes it sound like you skipped all of that. Unless that's really what you meant

[drowsy yarrow]

Those are the 12% I skipped. I got everything else

[charred wraith]

Ah. Sorry

But i also wanna do other achievements i didn't get on my first save. Z||dead zote, dead nailsmith, dead nkg, and yeah||

[stoic cedar]

||for 100% i would suggest skipping kingsoul, colo3, and flower quest, the rest is preference mainly||

[drowsy yarrow]

It's definitely easier to figure out which 12% you don't want than it is to figure out which 100% you do want

Yeah skipping one ||mask means you can skip any 4 shards||

[charred wraith]

I ain't doing ||all masks. Also it seems colo 3 isn't needed for p3 (plesse tell me this is true). And lastly: i just wanna end it with killing the radiance. That's just a preference thing for me, unless i am running out of time||

Or ig... i should just do some ||masks. I'm not that good anyway... but screw soul vessels||

[stoic cedar]

||colo3 is not a requirement for any of the pantheons. and i would suggest to just skip out on the white palace fragment for convenience purposes but if u want to go for dream no more then go ahead||

[stuck heron]

You kill ||Grimm?|| That's the most chill boss fight I know, I don't wanna do ||nkg now ||

[stoic cedar]

||i would suggest getting at least two more soul vessels, u can skip out on 3 vessel fragments if u dont want to get the last one but they still give percentage so thats smth to consider||

[charred wraith]

Dammit...i'm forced to do some of the ||masks anyway since i'll have 1 percent missing even if i do most charms||

[charred wraith]

I ||banished troupe on my first save, so i'm doing nkg on this one||

Anyway, thank you for all the help everyone

[drowsy yarrow]

I considered trying to do ||speedrun achievements and steel soul achievements|| at once, but I'm glad I didn't, because I wasn't very invested in my speedrun file, but I put all my effort and care into my ||steel soul|| file. It's nice because I could take my time and enjoy the gameplay. Also I died several times on my speedrun file, which prepared me for ||steel soul||.

[charred wraith]

Well, i'm not really proud of myself to say that i do ||save and quit scum||

[drowsy yarrow]

ah fair enough

[charred wraith]

I don't do it much. I aced ||watcher knights, deepnest, thk, and broken vessel. But uh... yeah, i wouldn't call myself honorable||

Kind of reminds me doing save state back then for mario games on an emulator. It takes away from the experience...

[drowsy yarrow]

I think the appeal for me is that it made me think about the game differently, like I had to care about it as though it were real life.

I got super immersed in it for that file.

[charred wraith]

I still do think of it like that. While i'm more reckless since i'm more confident, i still don't let go of my habit of stsying at full hp now that i'm doing ||steelsoul||. But yeah, isee where you're coming from

[drowsy yarrow]

It's a great experience either way. Just thinking about the next boss got my heart racing, knowing I might die. I almost died to ||Nosk|| because of his wonky hitbox and weird arena.

[hybrid lichen]

Tips on ||radiance||

I find it very tough

[drowsy yarrow]

Use ||shriek|| when there's a good opening, either as she's finishing her attack or right after a teleport.

Lure ||orbs|| into platforms. ||Dash|| away if they spawn too close. ||Ddark spikes on the ground to remove them.||

[hybrid lichen]

Ohh

What abt ||2nd phase||

[drowsy yarrow]

The middle bottom platform is safest. Keep luring ||orbs|| into platforms. ||Dash through beam walls|| early. Use ||quick slash and strength|| for huge damage when she appears on your platform. Don't chase her to the edges, wait for her to come close.

[hybrid lichen]

So you don't ||go to her, wait for her to get to you?||

[drowsy yarrow]

Yeah. Takes some patience sometimes. But eventually she'll come to a great spot for you to ||slash her and shriek|| like mad.

Usually one of the central four platforms

[hybrid lichen]

Ahh alr

Tysmm

[ebon copper]

||#hk-help message|| was made for ||absrad||, but anything other than the last phase mostly applies ayway

[alpine comet]

WALL 🤯

[solemn ibex]

you were typing for a century just for this?

[ebon copper]

i feel insulted

[solemn ibex]

this is actully creative

imagine dying and then dying again while trying to reach your ||shade||

[untold zephyr]

Bye bye geo

[stuck heron]

How tf do I beat ||nailsage sly||

[stuck heron]

Somehow I always get to him with 3 ||masks||

Git gud it is then

[acoustic sigil]

Then practice the boss before him more

[radiant raft]

Just practice the hell out of him in ||Hall of Gods until you can do him with relative ease. Maybe even radiant him a few times||

[stuck heron]

OH MY GOD

Is he in the ||hall of gods|| after I only encounter him?

[acoustic sigil]

Yes

[stuck heron]

Bruh

[acoustic sigil]

||As was the case for the other pantheon bosses||

[stuck heron]

Ima go practice thx

[radiant raft]

[sharp torrent]

||nail arts are a perfect counter against sly. you can focus on dodging each attack with a nail art charged, then release it after the attack is finished||

[stuck heron]

I thought you have to defeat him firrst

[stuck heron]

Will do

[deep dawn]

hey i'm 20 hrs in i know the time won't help much but can i know how much of the game i completed

[radiant raft]

How much stuff do you have?

[inner robin]

you are correct in assuming that the time doesn't help

[deep dawn]

i got the first 4 abilities and now i'm trying to get ||king's brand and shade cloak|| and currently fighting ||hornet p2||

[ruby shuttle]

there is a way for you to check. do you have all three ||dreamers||

[deep dawn]

i have none actually

[ruby shuttle]

oh

then nevermind

[deep dawn]

what's the way tho

i don't mind u telling

[ruby shuttle]

its something you cant get unless you have all the ||dreamers||

[deep dawn]

can i do ||dreamers|| before ||hornet p2||

[ruby shuttle]

if you have ||dreamnail|| then yes

[deep dawn]

i do

[ruby shuttle]

then you can

[deep dawn]

ok

[ruby shuttle]

basically, once you have all three ||dreamers||, go to the ||temple of the black egg|| and go inside. in there you can collect an ability called ||world sense which allows you to view your completion%||

[deep dawn]

i see thanks

[hasty turtle]

Hi I need advice for ||winged nosk ||

[shut sparrow]

what are you struggling with?

[hasty turtle]

the fight

So ?

[inner robin]

be more specific

||are you getting hit by the weird wing hitboxes or something?||

[hasty turtle]

yea

[inner robin]

lemme find a visualization, that might help

[hasty turtle]

ok

[inner robin]

but other than the somewhat janky hitboxes, ||the fight is kind of just vengfly king the sequal. A lot of the same strats work||

[ruby shuttle]

you almost need to pogo it twice

or pogo then use ||wings|| right after

[hasty turtle]

thanks

[inner robin]

I found a fuzzy video from 3 years ago that shows with hitboxes

[short breach]

||after i get all the fire things for the grimm quest, and i start fighting him, can i just leave it and go do another thing or no? i get stuck forever until i defeat him?||

[inner robin]

yeah it's optional

[short breach]

so i can just straight leave there after i die to him?

[inner robin]

yep! It's pretty fun if you learn it though

[short breach]

||also, if i banish him i cant get the unbreakable charms?||

[inner robin]

nope (unless you get them first)

[charred wraith]

That's a fricking lie

[inner robin]

but again, ||the fight is fun I wouldn't jump straight to banishment||

[charred wraith]

No way ||winged nosk hitbox is that small on the wings||

[inner robin]

I can send the full video if you'd like..?

[charred wraith]

Nah, it's fine

[hybrid plinth]

Did they patch ||Spell pogo||?

[inner robin]

alright

[short breach]

yeah im gonna fight him too, and try to get some money to get some of ||the charms that divine offers||

[hybrid plinth]

Please, that's not Hackerman, THIS is Hackerman

[charred wraith]

It's best to grind on ||collo 2||

[hybrid plinth]

oh, right

[hasty turtle]

I want it pls

[hybrid plinth]

The name of the movie it comes from is Kung ||Fury||

[short breach]

also, after i defeat him, i can still get the ||unbreakable charms right?||

[inner robin]

can I dm you it?

[hasty turtle]

yea

[charred wraith]

Yee. If i remember correctly, ||divine's tent is left behind||

[hybrid plinth]

but yeah, ||Spell pogo||, is it still a thing? I have no practical use for it, just saw a short talking about it

[inner robin]

I don't think they did

[hybrid plinth]

Indeed, until you've got all three ||unbreakable charms||

[charred wraith]

Such a good employee

[hybrid plinth]

well, I jump, ||shriek||, then pogo, and just fall, no bounce

[short breach]

sweet, so where should i grind ||money? any recommendations?||

[inner robin]

at least on switch current patch I know that ||stall ball|| still works. Idk about ||shrogo|| though

[charred wraith]

||collo 2. Lots of money and not hell like collo 3||

[hybrid plinth]

||She enjoyed the aroma of Leg Eater's charms, she still has business in Hallownest||

[zinc verge]

||colo 2||

[short breach]

alr, i already beated ||collo 2, i can still do it again right?||

[inner robin]

yep

[zinc verge]

||colo 3|| is easy wdym
the only reason why ||colo 2|| is better because its not as long

[charred wraith]

If you hsven't gotten this yet...: ||mirabelle. Did you know banks increae your money?||

[charred wraith]

Yupyup

[zinc verge]

[charred wraith]

Oh don't you even dare. The length contributes to its difficulty

[short breach]

||ik, i gave her 2450 and waited till i really needed money so i can give her more. Im gonna grind collo 2 and give mirabelle everything i have||

after she dissapears, where do i find her?

[charred wraith]

• ||mawlek, floorless, floorless, floorless||

[charred wraith]

||pleasure house at city of tears||

[short breach]

alright, thanks for the help

[stuck heron]

||At Sly stage 2|| how do I move to avoid him ||buzz-sawing|| me?

[ruby shuttle]

charge up ||great slash, dash or move away from him, then great slash him once the attack is done||

[dusky sonnet]

Time for the last 1%
-# ||Aka P4||

[ruby shuttle]

good luck

[dusky sonnet]

i dont need luck i got skill
-# def will need luck

[hasty turtle]

yea

[ruby shuttle]

[proper frost]

Lmao what

[fallen talon]

idk

i just have the vocalized mod installed

i was wondeirng if that was a known bug

ive got a video if you want

[ruby shuttle]

he doesnt believe in gravity

[stuck heron]

I can't, he's to fast

[ruby shuttle]

here ya go. see if this helps ||https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JYgj1LpLVVA||

[hasty turtle]

Ultraviolet is the goat

[stuck heron]

I'll try that

[ruby shuttle]

where hes attacking in the second phase, you can use ||gslash|| there

[ruby shuttle]

?

[hushed egret]

Should i go for ||true ending||?

[ruby shuttle]

sure

[simple island]

yeah personally I only use ||nail arts to fight sly||
it isn't optimal in terms of maximising damage per opportunity you are given, but it is by far the safest option and it is very good for ||radiant||

when you beat the game you can keep on playing afterwards
so no need to fret about when to interact with the ||black egg||

[hushed egret]

Here planning to do a hitless ||radiant||

[simple island]

well you can't access her

[ruby shuttle]

you cant do it

[frosty gazelle]

Really dawg

[hushed egret]

I have a good feeling i can

[simple island]

you have every tool to access it, but you haven't actually used those tools to get the necessary items

[ruby shuttle]

no, you physically cant

your missing an item you need to get to it

[frosty gazelle]

Godspeed, little ||vessel||

[simple island]

like you got ||awoken dreamnail, you got shade cloak||, but did you use those for anything in particular that was important ?

[stuck heron]

Idk

[hushed egret]

Ohh you mean ||king soul|| im gonna get it after i reach 99% im just asking what ending should i do

[stuck heron]

Skill issue

[acoustic sigil]

Illusion of choice

[hushed egret]

Its hard man

[ruby shuttle]

you kinda need that

[acoustic sigil]

||You kinda can't get any other ending without kingsoul||

[simple island]

try to find places to use those, cuz you are missing the thing you need for ||true ending||
which does not mean that you shouldn't beat the game right now||, again, beating the game still lets you play the game as if nothing had happened||

[frosty gazelle]

Have you beaten ||HK|| without it yet?

[hushed egret]

Already did in my other save file

[stuck heron]

||I dash out and then in but it's too slow then I try to just walk and dash in but I dash right into him|| but ig I just need to practice

[frosty gazelle]

Ok nice so we don’t gotta worry about having to play the whole game again for an achievement lol

-# I made that mistake ngl

[hushed egret]

Oh im doing achievement that i can only do in a different file

Like this achievement

[simple island]

(well you need multiple files for all the achievements anyways so...)

[ruby shuttle]

may he rest in peace

[hushed egret]

I hope soo

[frosty gazelle]

Yeah, just some of their attacks ending achievements can be a little annoying to get if you’ve already missed em, though it’s good practice for the speedrun achievements I believe

[ruby shuttle]

spoilers please

[hushed egret]

I feel like doing the ||nail art|| is the best possible way i can honor his death

[ruby shuttle]

can you show your charm menu and inventory?

[frosty gazelle]

Have you even fought normal ||grimm?||

[stuck heron]

||let's fucking go I beat Sly|| thanks for help

[simple island]

hum... so... first thing to do is explore the ||leftmost side of howling cliffs, there is a hidden passage behind a breakable wall that will let you interact with the grimm troupe||

[hushed egret]

LETS GOOO

Congrats

[acoustic sigil]

I uh think there are roughly 20 bosses you should fight before ||nkg||

[ruby shuttle]

fyi, ||NKG|| is a late game boss

[frosty gazelle]

Gonna follow up on this a bit
To unlock the ||NKG fight, you have to complete the entire quest that Grimm gives you before you can even fight NKG||

[simple island]

ok so like... ||nkg ||is amongst the 3 hardest bosses in the game
so maybe you shouldn't be trying to beat them like, right now, you may eventually stumble upon it but like... much, much later

yeah you are like, very early game

[frosty gazelle]

||NKG|| terrifies me still to this day

[ruby shuttle]

do you even have ||mothwing cloak?||

[simple island]

you are probably not gonna be able to reach him for the comming like 20 hours, even if we perfectly tell you where to go and what to do

[simple island]

I think they just got ||claw ||or are about to, so yeah, not happening any time soon lol

[ruby shuttle]

yeah, come back here in like....40 hours of gameplay

[simple island]

TLDR of this discussion
please try to not look stuff up online too much, you can't really miss things in this game, so just, play the game, see if you find stuff, and if you don't... then maybe come back here and ask for where to go
but like... first play the game, if you don't know what to do, ask here

[ruby shuttle]

you can do him now

[simple island]

usually when you find bosses, if you don't do skips of any sort, you are expected to be able to fight them

[acoustic sigil]

||Soul master is a fine next boss, not necessarily easy but fine||

[frosty gazelle]

Not “easy”, but not really difficult by any means

I’d say so

[ruby shuttle]

play the game and see

[frosty gazelle]

Hollow Knight IS a metroidvania after all, best way to find out is to go see if they’ll rip you in half or not

[keen stream]

yall have any tips for this

[acoustic sigil]

As in ||anyrad||?

[keen stream]

yeh

[acoustic sigil]

Might have more luck in the server dedicated to it

[keen stream]

aight

[keen carbon]

Is there a formal name for that little soul jar in the corner of your screen?

[acoustic sigil]

Modded boss

[frosty gazelle]

Don’t worry

[acoustic sigil]

Do not worry about

[keen stream]

self hatred and regret

[acoustic sigil]

||Soul vessel I think||

[frosty gazelle]

Well that’s a new one
I’m assuming you just mean ||mantis lords?||

[acoustic sigil]

Sure

[reef bay]

Does the ||flower quest|| give anything? I remember doing it back when I first played the game but I don't remember getting anything

What does it give?

Bruh

[stuck heron]

I was practicing on ||ascended sly|| and my fingers started to hurt as hell

[radiant raft]

Have you tried injecting ||lifeblood|| directly into them?

He asked for help and I gave him help

[charred wraith]

Lowkey said do drugs

[hushed egret]

Yay i beat ||NKG|| and only get 1 hit

And that hit is intentional for ||Fury||

[ruby shuttle]

how do you still only have the base amount of health?

I think he is

[solemn ibex]

Maybe

[obtuse plinth]

I have made a private server and i wanted to know in there is a way to Show player Icons without Company equipped?

[solemn ibex]

Also is ||fury of the fallen|| really that strong? I've seen many players using it

[inner hound]

a ||mask shard||

[inner hound]

it is a ||75 % buff to your nail damage when at 1 health||, OP but not for casual gameplay

[reef bay]

Just did it, wasn't as bad as I remember it being, only took a couple tries

[unreal knot]

does anyone have some tips for ||Nightmare King Grimm? i can't even last 15 seconds in the fight||

[river bough]

||do you lose your steel soul run if you die to nkg?||

[mellow vigil]

I don’t believe so, no

[river bough]

are you 100% sure?

[mellow vigil]

I just double checked || you don’t permadie to nkg in steel soul ||

[lethal flame]

you can't permadie to ||dream|| bosses, except ||radiance||

[north rivet]

||So, I’ve heard that giving the delicate flower to the godseeker gives you some sort of different ending, is it like doing hollow knight post void heart where your locked out of an ending?

tldr, do I wait to give the flower, or is there no harm? ||

[solid heart]

Yes (||the THK voidheart comparison||)
It's just the same thing again with a different ||cutscene||)

[ruby shuttle]

theres no harm

[solid heart]

To compliment what hkr1 said, ||yes, it's a 75% buff that stacks with strength and quick slash.
If you can survive at 1 hp, you can deal upwards of 200 dps with all 3 charms, which is completely ridiculous. Lifeblood keeps fury while giving more room to tank too.
But for a casual that can't do that, fury is a garbage safety net.||

[north rivet]

Ah alrighty

So I’m not missing out on an achievement or anything right?

[ruby shuttle]

no

just changes the cutscene

[north rivet]

Alrighty, tyyy

[solid heart]

No.
Ah yeah, ||unlike Hollow Knight and Sealed Siblings, that are different achievements, both endings in this case are counted as embrace the void, that's why we call it EtV (flower)||

[wide sandal]

Yo

[river bough]

|| do you have to have grimmchild equipped to get to the nkg fight?(too lazy to find out myself||

[inner robin]

Yes

[drowsy yarrow]

||#hk-help message||

[unreal knot]

Ty

[sharp torrent]

consider using ||nail arts|| as main damage for the fight. you can take advantage of the fact that he's only vulnerable for a short time in between attacks by landing a quick ||great slash|| or ||dash slash|| each time

[neat karma]

@warped fog your message wasnt spoiler tagged, to do it properly you need to do it ||like this||, which would then turn into ||this||

[full rain]

Any tips for ||delicate flower quest||?

[ruby shuttle]

clear the path of enemies before hand

[full rain]

They stay dead?

[ruby shuttle]

they will unless you bench

some enemies do respawn if you leave the room though, but not many

what path are you taking?

[full rain]

Ive been trying this path that is on the wiki

[ruby shuttle]

you can take that path, or go through ||blue lake||. either way

but yeah, just clear the path.

[full rain]

Alright thank you

[ruby shuttle]

show your charms real quick

[full rain]

Hold up

[acoustic sigil]

That's the fast route but there is a much safer one

Idk what you prefer?

[full rain]

Safer because i keep getting hit😭

[acoustic sigil]

I|| dont think you need grubsong lol||

[ruby shuttle]

equip charms like ||mark of pride, and long nail||

just to keep enemies away from you

[full rain]

Okay

[ruby shuttle]

maybe even ||heavy blow||

[ruby shuttle]

I cant believe I just said that

[full rain]

Thank you i will try this

[ruby shuttle]

what kind of backroad route is that?

[acoustic sigil]

A safe one

[ruby shuttle]

that looks so much slower

thats why I always do it before getting ||infected crossroads||

[fluid garden]

||avoids crossroads and most of fog canyon, so much safer||

[acoustic sigil]

No shit

That's why I asked, safe or fast

[full rain]

I unfortunately didnt even know about the quest until i got ||infected crossroads||😞

[acoustic sigil]

||Failing in crossroads is always slower than making it first time around with a longer route||

[cursive lintel]

how hard is it to finish game in 5 hours

[ruby shuttle]

not hard if you know what your doing
