It's okay atleast i can move it

Set it again somewhere else

I misread. It's not snail, I'm just stupid 
I read "at least can I move it"
Idleness grows from ignorance
the comment is a sign of your intelligence
||Hornet 2 Tips:
- Slash once and wait for her attack. She won't always attack immediately, but if she does, you'll be glad you only went for one slash. You can get away with two slashes if you have quick slash and good timing.
- Use spells to clear spikes
- Time shade soul as her thread spin is ending for a double hit
- When she jumps, wait until you know the trajectory before dashing out of the way. Do not dash too early

thanks 
i dont know where my shadow is im where im meant to be but i dont see it anywhere
someone help please
show map
Where did you die?
this is where im stuck at
O
check all around the room
there’s a good few hidden crevices in that room
you mind if i join a vc and you help me look for it?
can’t rn sorry
but you might have to go to the very leftmost side of that room and use the ||passage that goes above it||
i dont know where the entrance to the passage is im lookin around for it
||this is a common thing to happen. In this specific spot your shade can spawn outside of your reach. So you probably can't get it right now||
||so did i just lose all of my geo||
there is a way to ||get your shade but idk if I should spoil it for u since you might want to figure that out on your own later||
||i dont mind a little spoiling||
do you have ||a simple key|| in your inventory?
||look to the right of dirtmouth||
eh i guess it doesnt matter if thats not spoiled
better safe than sorry
well i just died again tryna go back so there goes that

Ok
?tag spoilers
🔹 Ensure Discord’s spoiler tagging is used around spoilers (People, Places, and Things should be spoiler tagged!! if you are confused, please see the pins for what is allowed ).
We do this to be considerate of multiple conversations taking place. Two vertical bars on either side of text will tag it as a spoiler - ||This is a spoiler.|| > ||This is a spoiler.|| Alternatively, adding /spoiler at the start of a message will tag it.
🔹 If you have sent an untagged message, you must either edit it to include spoiler tags or delete it.
Practicly I have to put a spoiler warning in every thing I say?
yes

Ok
But I dont think here a person who doesn't know anything about the game.
But its ok
there are many
I dint know that
A lot of people join this server just to get advice when playing the game, so he's right, there's many
||So how do I beat gray Prince zote in radiant dificulty. Any tips? ||
Ok now I know how to do it
summon the dyrati
||Zote Tips:
- Nail Slam: Try to dodge it by walking, and only dash after he commits
- Shadow Slam: Watch the top of the screen for where he will fall, or just ddark
- Walk at you: Watch for when he crouches down. Dash away or through him
- Zotelings: kill as they spawn
- volatile: use shade soul to clear some
- Flail
- pogo him lower than normal so that if he falls, you'll still hit him
- be ready to dash to the side in case of stagger
- alternatively, cling to the wall

praise Dyrati and their sacred walls 🙏
Dryati goated
Ok am gonna try it again
I should make a new ||Zote|| video without ||bindings||
Thank dude it actually worked.
I was thinking about it, I think ||N0WS is a beautiful format to show off strats, since the gameplay is pretty close to regular, just significantly longer. Also not radiant because you want to show heals too||
I could help you out with vids
Does any of the stuff in ||godhome|| contribute to ||112%||
Yes
All of it except ||pantheon 5 and hall of gods||
Alright thanks
||First 4 panteons||
Im so close!!!
Is that on mobile..?
Yes
I didn’t even know hk was on mobile?
We love piracy
Yes
I ❤️ piracy
I think the hardest one is ||Sisters of battle|| or ||Markoth||
I think am going to beat next ||sly||
lol i only have ||radiance|| left but ||markoth|| took like twice as long as the rest of the bosses combined
||SoB|| is pretty easy to practice on though
but yeah ||sly|| is prolly the easiest one ya got left
guys Im having a bug where character models are sort of glitching and this picture is just an example but I als had this with ||pale lurker|| where he just glitches in and out. anyone know a solution to this? so far had this twice and its quite annoying.
Have you tried restarting your game? Do you have mods installed? Are you a pirate?
no mods not pirated and restarting the game is something ive done multiple times
ive tried alot of different things but nothing worked so far :(
Are your files messed up? Have you been altering the files?
also tried that and then it happened with ||pale lurker||
and apparently everyone ive asked and everywhere ive looked no one has ever seen this
not even on reddit do people have a solution to this or had this problem
what does he mean by this? is there multiple paths?
||what i have to do with dreamers in the map||
Ask in #modding-discussion
||Get the dream nail and use it on them when you reach them||
Maybe. But do as you think you should
I wanna follow that guy, but idk if I'll be able to fight ||nkm||
-# :3
Spoiler of what it does, since I think there's no other way to answer (caution): ||no :(, you can't fight Nkg||
Btw Dyrati
Yeah. Showing heals could be very useful. I could make a table of videos rather than just one sample ||(with charms, without charms, ab, n0ws)||. There's a fair amount of value in each type of video. Although I think the ideal video would strike a balance between being concise and being complete enough to demonstrate each tip.
I beat ||Hornet 2 radiant|| like 3 dozen times earlier, and I picked the video I thought was easiest to follow.
Idea: ||n0ws, but you start at 1 hp, and you try to heal yourself back to 9 masks during the fight||
Or the standard 5 if you feel it's too long
That is a useful skill to have. I went into ||Zote with 2 masks|| left so many times 
I cant beat it 💀
use ||elegy|| if your really running out of ideas
Is the second phase, I JUST CANT HIT IT.
And in mobile is a lot harder
||pantheon|| needs to be spoilered
Use ||shaman shade souls, you can get triple hits pretty consistently||
I should try it
Give a some minutes
||great slash is a good option of u don’t have the soul to use shade soul||
||That was an exellent idea, but I had to use 9 shade souls 💀||
||Thats a good idea but in mobile its imposible for me to charge the great slash and move away from sly at the same time 💀||
Any ways I beat it.
Only 3 more 💀 and are the hardests ones.
||Hardest ones 💀
Bro, you have absrad already||
||Sisters of battle and markoth 💀||
||Oblobble I cant beat it cause its Just luck I cant move away from the projectiles||
||AbsRad and gpz are already done, it's just markoth||
@solid heart ||"SoB FREE" 💀||
I cant focus at the three at onces
||And for some reason the watcher knight's cost me a lot||
||SoB compares to NKG and PV, it's just learning the fight, you don't have to deal with much bs||
Because it's hard
600 hp each one 💀
They|| attack one at a time.
You are dodging one teleporting hitbox that also can take damage||
Move ||slowly across the floor (ideally centrish) of the arena, jump only when you see one about to dash from the sides||
||Pogo when you jump, slash behind you after running (NOT dashing) out of a dive attack, and cast DDark whenever you get confused||
When am in a side that its not the center they Just teleport where am in.
which is a good reason to stay in the center
^
And they ||also won’t start that animation if you’re on that corner. So you’re just moving (likely dashing) into that space too quickly||
ideally, if you do ever go to the side, ||it should be to follow a dash attack, then pogo -> ddark||
Gold Star
👍
thank you! I'm just updating the previous instructions with a dedicated video and some extra tips
And what with the oblloble?
U sure? I've been brutally sniped way too many times in ||R5 and P5AB|| to count
Fairly|| sure, then again I hardly ever leave the center quickly so what do I know||
if you are completely stationary on that side then yes they are never telefragging you
My strat has had to become ||oh fuck, I'm in the corner again, ddark||
And it has actually saved me of impossible telefrags
Yeah, ig, but how long is that time you have to wait to not get hit? Because I've even been caught in the ||ddark animation||
Dodge ||the blobs, quit squeezing in heals if there are 2 of them, damage them as equally as you can - you effectively shorten the duration of the rage-phase by doing this.
You may also psuedo direct where they go by hitting them from the direction you want them to go.||
||Zote Tips:
- Nail Slam: Try to dodge it by walking, and only dash after he commits
- Shadow Slam: Watch the top of the screen for where he will fall, or just ddark
- Walk at you:
- Watch for his telegraph of this move (he crouches down). Dash away or through him.
- If you're near the edge, go through him so he doesn't box you into a corner
- If you hit him shortly after he begins walking, he will immediately switch to another move
- Zotelings:
- they have some invincibility when they spawn
- shriek is very useful and can take out several at once
- don't chase them if they got away, wait for them to come to you
- ddark if you're surrounded
- volatile zotelings: use shade soul to clear a path so that you don't get trapped
- Flail
- pogo him lower than normal so that if he falls, you'll still hit him
- be ready to dash to the side to avoid getting hit by his stagger
- if you think he's close to staggering, you can ddark, but make sure to full jump immediately after you regain control
- alternatively, you can cling to the wall to be safe

YESSS Finished ||R3||!!

what are the 2 missing pickups?
||R4 and R5||
Thank you! Those tips I uploaded today are artifacts of today's practice. Trying to make the ideal video for this channel forced me to seriously practice those fights.
||
Hello, I am missing a pale mineral to make the final sting. Does anyone know how I can find out which one I am missing?||
whichever of these that you havent got yet
||I'm geuinely malding over Lost Kin. Is Defender's Crest really worth it in the fight? Not even Hiveblood is helping out much here, this guy keeps predicting a lot of my moves and he's so damn quick.||
Like, wow am I getting my ass whooped
||lost kin|| does not have a prediction ai, so if it feels like hes predicting you thats partiaclly by chance
||He sure as hell is a Vessel I'll tell you that for sure||
So tanky as well lmao
||Oh, thanks, I remembered the locations and now I know which one I'm missing. Since the first time I saw her, I haven't gone back to the psychic, so that's what I think.
||
the reason people suggest ||defender crest|| is because the ||ghosts only have 1hp||, so having ||defenders crest|| on means they will never be able to hit you
i would recommend ||upgrading your nail|| for ||lost kin|| if its your 1st time fighting him
It's probably because I'm new to the game but his moves are too quick and unpredictable in general.
The ||ghosts|| just make it worse.
||My nail is at tier 3||
you can come back to ||lost kin|| later if you are feeling overwhelmed
I know he doesn't have a prediction AI but he sure as hell acts like he does
I genuinely don't know how to deal with him other than just upgrading
So whatever, I'll come back
||d dark|| is really useful against him and pre much all bosses thx to the invincibility frames. other than that try to not panic ||dash|| and in general be patient.
True
just trying to survive without attacking for a long time helps you see how much time you have to react so you could give that a run
one sec
Yes, but it doesn't help much
It instantly kills the balloons
So you can focus || lost kin|| and heal during staggers
||The main issue is Lost Kin himself, the ghosts are something else. My reaction speed and timing sucks||
Also
Oh
wdym beat the game first
I am just exploring
To see what I can find
have fun in the left side of the map
lol
Idk why people say traversing there is hard
Ngl never had a problem
Besides saving (you know who) 
||more queens gardens wave rooms||
True
I hate the boss there
Like
Why is the bench so far away
||cough cough dreamgate||
bro thinks I grinded ||escense|| before getting ||that half||
I beat him first time I went there
I’m very persistent
im more of an effiecent kind of guy
I’m also good at platforming so I didn’t ever really fall
heres tips against ||lost kin||:
||learn to manage the balloons along with lost kin.
when a balloon spawns near you when lost kin is far away, just take it out using your nail.
when a balloon spawns right near you while you are dealing with lost kin, use descending dark because you won't be able to dodge it and take damage.
pay attention to lost kin more as this guy loves to reposition and all that.
just pogo him when he dashes towards you.
go under him during his air dash.
pay more attention to see whether he is doing a jump or a slam attack.
when he does his slam attack, stay close to him and get a few nail hits in when he lands.
when you have a lot of souls, you can use shade soul when you are far away from him and there are balloons if you wanna take them out.
use descending dark to do what i said earlier.
you can probably use abyss shriek during his slam attack if you want to deal a lot of damage.
the charms that I recommend?
strength, shaman, quickslash
then just steady body and the last notch being anything you want.
my recommendations would be grubsong or nailmaster's glory||
damn
I was wondering what they were typing
what is that sign on that map?
||The Black Egg Temple. It becomes labeled with the Hollow Knight’s helmet after visiting his memorial in the City of Tears.||
ah I see do i need anything to do it?
i visited there and there was nothing(?)
🤣
I couldn’t copy my message
i see what it means tho
AH HA
i mean im not sure it is good to do that
What does ||overcharming|| mean
since if its gonna weaken idk
meaning overly equipped charms
ahhhh
Is it even possible to do that?
i looked it up and says it can
👀
i just dont wanna die early
idk
oop there u go
I made it to the ||city of tears||
just to get ||isma's tears||
so painful
I’m still kind of behind in the game
I don’t know where to go as of rn but I’ll keep looking lol
im learning as i go tbh
Same
im just getting to learn as much as possible
im also regretting of saving ||zote||
till now

For me he’s still stuck in ||Deepnest||
Idk how to rescue him but I’ll figure it out
well i do know if you save him he will show up again
another work to beat him up

as might as well knocked him out on the first encounter
so regretting
What’s bad about him besides him being a little annoying
he is a bit rude 😂
he was grumpy and all that
Alright alright
Yeah he’s a bit boastful
i know i will meet him again twice 
anyways
this black thingy
in the map
that doesnt look good
XDD
||The Black Egg Temple?||
yes that thing
that does not look good
LOL
||overcharming is where u fit on an extra charm over what u can usually fit with the amount of notches u have. if u want to equip a charm that costs n amount of notches and u have <n and >0 amount of notches available, u can still equip that charm, after which u will be overcharmed. but there is a major downside to this in that u will take double damage while being overcharmed, so basically anything that deals one mask of damage will now deal 2. so i would not recommend overcharming in most cases, other than scenarios later on in the game in which u r forced to go hitless (ull see when u get there)||
thank you for explanation :3
||No shit it’s where the final boss is kept locked up||
I think

i will update my map tmr i guess im still exploring 😂
||By forced to go hitless you mean cases where you get one shot by certain enemies?||
That sounds crazy
||Find the Hollow Knight’s memorial in the City of Tears.||
kind of, as i said ull see when u get further into the game
Got it
Or when you ||want to do a hitless challenge ;)||
yea maybe i should i upgraded my nail too
Hell nah
Over my dead body
🤯
I’m only like 15 hours into this game
8hrs
I am NOT doing that anytime soon
This game is fun
This game IS fun
Dw, you'll reach that point
It's my type also, that's why I have ||900 hours||
i tried this last night... i just cant do it 
idk how or why but ive gotten kinda good at it
i'll jus do this instead ig 
next ill either have to do without ||dash, or radiant, but keeping dash||
i think its just as hard
ahh, ik this mod
cool stuff
they both have the same helth bar i think
ye, they have shared
same with ||tribe of battle||
another boss i kinda wanna try at one point
but its so cool to find challanging shi like this in vanilla game
i think you should be able to deal damage to both
maybe its the helth bar mod smth
it feels so weird to have jump 
use none for added flex
i mean, thats not bad
im so fckn confused cause of the helth bar now
dyrati is making another guide 🔥
100%
What’s the second bar for
idk either
thats why im confused af
||Lost Kin Tips
Moves
- Lunge:
- Watch out for the telegraph of this move; Lost Kin changes stance and makes a sound effect
- Lost Kin will sometimes "retaliate" to being hit by lunging at you immediately. Be ready to jump
- Goomba Stomp:
- Wait until you know the trajectory before dashing out of the way. Do not dash too early
- Infection Slam:
- Jump in the air and aim for a gap
- If there are infection balloons boxing you in, ddark
- Quad Slash:
- focus on killing any infection balloons
- shade soul on the back swing for a double hit
General
- On stagger, don't heal until after you've cleared any nearby or spawning infection balloons
- Only hit balloons when he's on attack cooldown. Otherwise, wait for his next attack.
- You can use shade soul as he's turning around to get double hits
- Shade soul is also great for clearing balloons
The attached video doesn't use spells (for simplicity) and demonstrates when to heal

I’m assuming it’s for his stagger

That’s weird lol
but since that fight uses same helth bar, im confused af why another one suddenly appeared
ig i'll do ||tribe of battle||, i have a higher chance of winning in that fight
so closeee
I hate that fight
fckn mental block all of a sudden 
stagger doesnt work based on hp, its based on hits
I know, but a bar that shows how long until a stagger would make sense
How do I beat ||p5||? 😦
What boss do you frequently die to?
Dyrati made a sheet for it ||#hk-help message||
so just use meta charms and practice bosses which you struggle a lot with in ||hall of gods||

oh dang no thank you
haha
where you at in the game?
id say ||nailarts|| arent really important at all, but they start to get very useful late game
working on my first ||p5|| completion
in that case, they can be useful in ||false knight/failed champion, sly, nkg/grimm, markoth, obblobles, no eyes, collector||
Skip to those bosses Kondy mentioned to see how to use ||narts|| against them: ||https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pDy3tPjTdFM||
Why do this?
I spent a long time practicing for P5AB, and after completing it, I still wanted to use the skills I had gained. This seemed like a reasonable next step. It also feels a bit more relatable to people who have attempted p5, because most of them haven't unlocked lifeblood or even know that that's possible. I know that when I first c...
imo i can do|| failed champion ||using the inf soul thing easily , i do gotta try ||sly, nkg|| ive gotten down, ||markot||h i also needa try, and ive also got the other 3 down but ill try them out for everything tysm

can be a good habit to pick up

i wanna play HK modded, but don't have a PC. can i mod it on ps4 somehow?
No
Maybe through some hyper crazy hacked console ways but if you have to ask then no
i mean, if you have the physical copy given the imput tool, you can access gamefiles on a pc, download the mo files, put them on the cratrage, and you should be good to go
technically
I don't think it works like that
You should be able to access files from a pc if you have a reader device
and if you download a working modpac, launch in theory should automatically make the mods overwrite the existing gamefiles
i have digital sadly
i've just been dying to play modded because it looks super fun but ig not
Well mods are made with pc/laptop in mind so I doubt it would work
thinking it over againg you are likely right
ik you can savedit for switch at least
Yes cause saves are stored in 1 file
Actual mods replace the assembly and all that
|| i need help with broken vessel he keeps slamming his head into the ground and there are like a wave of orange blobs that go to the top of the screen. I mostly die at that part. 😭 Any tips? ||
||there are various ways of dealing with that attack. one way u can do is when u see that attack, immediately run away from bv, towards the sides of the arena, and dodge the blobs as they come out. u want to pay attention to the area underneath u since the blobs will be coming from below u, then dodge out of the way if u see a blob about to hit u. another way is, when u see that attack, jump up above bv and start pogoing. while maintaining the pogoing, similar to the first strat, u also want to pay attention to the area underneath u since the blobs are going to be coming from underneath, then u want to move left or right out of the way if u see a blob about to hit u. this strat allows u to get a lot of hits on bv during this attack but it might be hard for u to execute if u arent familiar with pogoing.||
Thanks I've never tried pogoing on a boss but I'll give it a try
Chat any tips for beating this boss called ||my girlfriend she beats the shit out of me every single time I come home||
|| what build should i use? (im trying to kill lost kin) ||
Maybe try exploring a little more
I didn’t know it was possible to have that little charms, but also have ||qs||
|| i did everything until lost kin only with soul catcher and grubsong ||
||shaman stone + soul catcher|| is ur best option here
how can you not recommend ||quick slash||
my goat
but like really, ||qs|| is mostly better for ppl who are new to the game
Truth ig
I mean uhh u can try getting 3 more ||charm notch?||
But, but, ||Shaman Stone||
||with lost kin moving around so frequently and also taking a lot of knockback, the benefits of quick slash (without sbody) arent really as apparent as shaman stone since u cant really effectively follow lost kin to spam nail swings at the rate at which quick slash allows u to, not to mention shaman stone actually benefits a lot from lost kins knockback due to double hits. quick slash is helpful on other bosses but without sbody, i dont think its gonna be that useful against lost kin, at least not nearly as impactful as shaman stone.||
||and anyways its good to learn how to use spells, and its easier to use spells on lost kin than it is on some of the other bosses||
||shaman stone is also just more dps||
||How do I get past this black beam??||
Explore around the bottom of the map, there’s an ability
Go to ||kingdom's edge|| and ||explore until you find hornet||
||Beat hornet, and go into the "cast-off shell" then back into ancient basin. Explore until you find an area with a door that opens. Fall down and explore from there.||
Not sure I can go lower than this
||Where is kingdom's edge||
Damn
You can
Where 💔
Oh my..
||Travel to kings station, and go to the stag station underneath, it should look broken. Go all the way to the right, and kill the vengeflys, then drop into the water, and swim right. Go straight right (with a little bit of bird dodging and platforming) and you're in kingdoms edge.||
||Yeah I still didn't unlock kings station neither||
Holy shit
||kings station, down the bottom to the right through the flooded stag station||
Whoopsies
Idk where them maps are
The shop in ||Dirtmouth||
That area is accessible immediately after ||claw|| I believe.
I’m amazed
Who is ||claw||
Just keep exploring lmao
oh my god get out of that area...
Please get more maps and explore more, like ||go into city of tears||
PLEASE.
Search up what you need to, just explore more.
Literally play the game i swear
🥀 ight
My bad bruh
bro why r u suggesting someone to search up stuff on first playthrough, that is terrible advice
do you even have ||dream nail or c-dash|| yet??

🔹 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.
oh my lord

all im saying is go to city of tears next, it's in fungal wastes.||
Ye Ima do that no need to be all dramatic
alr good
@winter lynx
i mean this part is fair
Don't tell someone about something they might not have encountered yet unless they specifically ask for it.
He only asked how to get past that beam which is accessible immediately after ||mantis claw|| iirc. So you should ask to see their map first, and can tell them where to go only within what they've already explored.
Wasn't he in ||QG|| tho? And he asked how to get past the "black beam" but that could be ||greenpath||
Fair tho, and i'll try not to again
||that was near overgrown mound which is in fog canyon||
That particular room is just to the left of ||fog canyon|| and is a sort of teaser for ||qg||. You don't need anything to get there
and you can get to ||qg|| without ||shade dash|| anyway
oh, well that makes sense
Is there something to do here?
No
well
a sidequest
at some point, but you will know when you will see a marking there on the map
Give me at least a hint, I have 112% and I couldn't figure out what's with that room

The chat in discussion is going too quickly, and this is a question, so I think it fits. What's up with the hate for health bars?
there's hate for health bars
Yeah, people here are very purist about that
I just want to know how much damage I dealt to the boss that attempt
I would love to have healthbars, that would be sick like
Progression feels a lot better when you can see it
Best I can do right now is phase breakpoints and stagger count
It has it's pros and cons
Like the lower it is the more anxious you are, but you also know to lock in
I'm a raider in WoW, I'm used to playing carefully for the last few percent
honestly, if you've played enough youll know how much hp the boss has anyway
most of the time i can tell exactly how many hits away i am from next stagger/kill
so i feel like its a simular arguement as the map one, its easier to use a tailored map online with all the details and stuff, but it also has its benefits if you just steadily pick up on it little by little
Yeah, there's a bit of fun in not knowing exactly, and learning to get a feeling for it. Helps with immersion as well.
Like instead of telling you ||nail damage after upgrading, they tell you to slash at enemies to feel the change.||
its funny when i watch my friend play and i tell him hell stagger boss in 3 so he shouldnt bother with dodging the next attack
i am legit stuck
reach the end
i cannot find the end 😭
send screenshot of where you are
ight
i feel like "finding" the end should be the problem you have in ||pop||
@zinc verge
up
literally just go to the left and up
Here's some ||pop|| footage I recorded a few days ago: ||#hk-help message||
ohh ok
im surprising myeslf, didnt know i had a good mental image of ||pop||
the more you know
||Pop|| is short
lmao
when u spend so much time in 1 place ure bound to memorize it
my new rarest achievement
how do you dodge || nkg's flame attack when he goes up ||
||the pufferfish attack?||
||or the one with the flame pillars||
||the flames always fall down in a set pattern when he goes up. the simplest way is to just stand right next to where he went up||
|| the one where he dashes, go up and releases like 4 flames at once ||
ohhh the ||dash attack?||
Yea
Just right now
well ||nkg has two dash attacks, to be specific it is the uppercut one||
W
the thing im struggling with ||nkg is two things, differintiating the attacks of where he releases red birds and the dash attack, and trying to predict where the flames are gonna land in the dash attack ||
||well to dodge the uppercut attack u js stay on the ground, walk/dash the direction opposite of him, then after his dash ends, u can hit him once before he does the uppercut||
||yeah i can dodge his dash part, i cant dodge his flame part||
||also after he does the uppercut, dash to where he was BEFORE uppercutting, so basically u gonna do a dash opposite of him when he does the dash, hit once, dash back||
ok
||just stand right next to where he went up, the flames come down in a set pattern centered at where he went up. the flame pattern just so happens that there is a safe spot right next to where he went up||
||like for example hes to ur left, he dashed to the right, u dodge to the right, he stops for a bit before uppercutting, u hit him once when hes stopped, he uppercuts, u dodge left||
ye
u explained it better than i did
😭
||also to differentiate between the fire bats attack and the uppercut, nkg spawns closer to u when he is going for the uppercut compared to fire bats, also the animation is different for the two attacks. but ultimately it comes down to practice to be able to notice the patterns in the fight and react accordingly||
How to beat ||the 2nd trail in colo||?
Bad cuality video
The ||giant hoppers|| dmg me too much
Is there a tech to play against them, ||freaking aspids|| too
||is p1 10:12 with charm binding a good time||
How fr
Yes
dont rush into them
I go beneath they crush me i go up they jump to me
And they don't have a fixed jump distance i don't know how to predict them yet
What about ||charms|| is there any suggestions
be patient against them
Alr I'll try
||dash under them, hit them, dash under again, hit them, repeat||
I guess i only need one from ||grim|| and ||fog||
I'll try thanks
||for colo2 i either use longnail, fragile/unbreakable strength, quick slash, shaman stone||
||Maybe get a better nail, notches or spells but you can leave it for later since it only gives pale ore||
||Fragile will keep breaking tho||
||then do the troupe event||
||u can turn the fragile into an unbreakable||
||Against the giant hoppers you just have to dash towards the hopper's position when it jumps towards you and hit it once and repeat until it dies.||
Don't i need that ||ore|| to get a perfect nail?
It does cost a lot though
15k tho😭
I'll try to time it thanks
I do have 3
The spiral one
||i farmed colo2 to get the money soooo||
||coilded||
||or just get better idk man i never had a problem with colo2||
Let me see
What's your charm build?
Im freestyling tbh
But that's it for now
Yes and i have one more ||ore||
Y||ou are missing a notch also take away agony and use nailmasters or smt if u use narts (which u should)||
Where to get the 3rd one?
Wait me a second
use ||quick slash, fragile strength (shaman stone if ure afraid of it breaking), longnail, steady body||
Yes im missing the one in ||fog||
||And narts distract me tbh||
||i dont feel like narts r practical||
theyre very situational
||Why long nail when i have the one from mantis lords||
they are good, just difficult to use well lots of the time
Oh man i need to find 31..
||use mark of pride if u dont need steady body||
Ig im missing 4 or something last time i checked
actualkly u need to find all
im pretty sure
cuz he only gave me it when i got all of them and went back to him
All is 31
You could hold ||the narts button down while you wait|| for enemy's to spawn
am i crzy
No it is 31😭
Ye i do that
theres 46
31
Oh dam i didn't know that
also
Ye
Thanks
idk if its a bug that happened to me but i needed to get all for him to give me the ||ore||
:D
Ig it's a bug for u then
Im on 30 hours rn🙏🏼
Idk how to see that
Reaaaaaaaly taking my time
better than rushing it 
Yeye i know it's intended
i beat my first run when i was like at 60% ish
I wanna enjoy this run the next I'll do it for lore then I'll speedrun maybe
then i got 112% in like around 50 hours total in the same save
I'll beat this at 112%
How Hard this is?
hollow knight is a short game
good
Short 💀
which one?
Probably 2
if you follow a route it’s really doable
mhm
208h..
it’s dense, like you can spend tons of time, but you can breeze through the game as well
Why don't i have the completion %
Some ppl finished it in 33min
mhm
||You need the World sense you get it in the temple of the Black egg||
zvy’s new wr from yesterday or the day before is a 30:49 or something
Ah okay ty
They're just scary ppl🙏🏼
Bullet hands
Btw does ur game crash sometimes?
No
I think its your phone
Ye it crashes when it heats
How do u have 15k
||Farm the second colo||
||relics, colo2, and farming hoppers in edge|| are all good
The one I can't beat ye😔
The first one only gives you 1000g
I do ||hoppers||
Ig imma go get ||unbreakable strength||
The third its to long
||hoppers|| are theoretically best iirc
Ye i heard so
The second one its perfect
I heard so too
Now i gotta find the ||grimm|| dlc or wtv
Where is it on map?
Ik it's somewhere behind a breakable wall
||howling cliffs||
Yeye that place
Yea
But where is the wall
I watched a vid about it long ago
the bigger room about halfway down
But i forgot
Alright thanks
Holy shit guys I'm about to beat ||p3|| pray I don't mess up ||nailsage boss fight||
gl
I'm making no progress on ||Markoth||, this fight is just pure luck, how are people clearing phase 2 with nothing but ||casts||?
Godspeed, that's a tough one
||double hits||
||shade soul double hits or trapping him against the ceiling with shriek both shred||
you kinda have to outlast him tho until you get good opportunities
Even when I do land a ||double||, it doesn't make enough of a dent to finish him
you need several
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO
How do you even get that much ||soul||?
4 ir 5 on ||radiant|| iirc
I beat him
YES
don’t use any phase 1
and pray 
it just feels like luck whether he kills me or not
new game? is it the same thing??
the way he moves with no clear purpose, and the completely random placement of ||nails||
Guys help 
omg lordy
||crystal peaks above crystal guardian 1 and greenpath to the right under the bottommost bench||
What's this
Thanks
it’s just practice icl
endgame stuff
||P4||
One's in ||crystal peak||, the other's in ||greenpath||
Ah
||the two main things that u should pay attention to in this fight is markoths movement and the nail spawns. markoths movement is quite random but u just need to learn to play around it. spacing and positioning is key in this fight, u dont want to stand too close to markoth nor be in his trajectory, and u dont want to be airborne for too long since u might get unlucky and fall straight down into a nail. u also need to know when to switch sides of the arena, u usually want to do this when markoth starts to get too close to u and u r running out of room on the side of the arena u r on. u should only switch sides if markoth is clearly on one side of the arena, specifically u do not want to switch sides when markoth is in the middle since u can get screwed over by markoths random movement as u r committing to switching sides. i usually like to switch back and forth between the lower platforms (and occasionally go to the higher platforms for some cheeky hits) since they have more ground to stand on but its definitely not the only way to go about the fight||
countering his random movement with ||narts|| is good
since they go through his ||shield|| and push him back
you can hit him in ceiling with ||elegy|| btw
Yes exactly thats why its soo great
But if you slash close enough to the nemey you can damage him with the normal nail damage and the ||grubberfly elegy|| damage
Also gain soul from doing it
this is consistent ||nosk|| btw without ||elegy||, id recommend not getting too used to ||elegy||
overall ||elegy|| should really be used, its mostly a gimmick
i’m thought so
||that isnt how it works, most of the time if u hit an enemy with a normal nail swing u wont get the elegy damage. u need to be pretty precise in ur attack timing and movement to be able to land both hits||
It help me beat 35 bosses in ||Parthenon 5|| u timately making me reach ||absrad||
@stoic cedar it works on bigger target
the damage you get from it just isnt optimal
so no reason to use it
:(
not convo killer lmao
nope, ||the elegy damage wont apply if the normal nail damage occurs first. really the only way to get both hits with the same nail swing is to hit the enemy in such a way that u r out of range of a normal nail swing but hit with elegy, then move into the enemy such that the nail's lingering hitbox hits the enemy. then ull get both hits at once. as u can imagine that requires pretty precise movement and attack timing||
it had to rhyme
Rhyming killer with killer. Classic
🔥
weird seeing hk help as the only active channel
right?
Huh. Neat...
I guess it works on a more vertical target, sure
hk discussion has too many women, scary place
I think ||radiance is big enough for that kind of tech. Though it's funny how radiance is smaller than flukemarm||
yeah but ||quickslash||
i mean, the ||elegy|| hits are doable on all enemies, its just much easier on bigger hitboxes
Ohp. It still deleted it...
yall heard about the ||fotf elegy synergy?||
teach us master
any suggestions for the enraged gurdian
Show us show us
HUH RLLY NEVER WOULDVE GUESSED THAT
Slash slash ||oh no, he's firing! Jump and double jump. Slash slash||
surely ||elegy works on 1 mask if you have fury equipped||
Stall in the air with ||double jump||
FRICK I FELL FOR THAT
shoulve just been:
Slash slash|| Slash slash Slash slash Slash slash||
Well i mean, i wouldn't wanna instill bad habits of just tanking damage
os i forgot abt that
20s? That sht got basketball blocked
ikr
i wonder how hard would it be to full ||pogo|| that fight
like dont touch the gound or walls
hard
Would be fun. You can move just to his side for the pogos to hit
true
kinda makes me wanna try
there’s the fun kind of hard and then there’s the kind of hard where you try to make ||cg2 engaging||
||a summon build with like weaversong + grubsong could work for that maybe||
Technically, ||charms aren't abilities. They're equipmemt||
they’re items
So... maybe there's smth to work there if we can't use ||jump||
rn ive done with only ||dash|| charmless
no jump
||nkg||?
ye
that’s fun
Heck you mean onky ||dash charmless? Like, no nail and no sharpshadow?||
no i mean, no charms, and no ||dash||
charms are for the weak anyway
Aaah
its much more doable than it sounds
in fact with ideal rng, its still ||radiantable||
I did ||no dash no cash no walking|| and left him at 44hp 2 years ago
Well, yeah. ||Charms only make things faster. Nkg doesn't have new attacks and stuff anyway, it's all the same for all phases||
i mean thats very different style
No walking 
||dashmaster and sharpshadow|| make the fight much easier without jumping
and ||summons|| are actually insanely strong too
shii, even ||defenders crest|| is decent dps
its hard to visualise ngl
you need a lot of ||ddarks|| im guessing
How often are you that close to him lol
like for every attack
||https://youtu.be/TMxmTnsJ77k||
Although I had to start with a full soul meter because otherwise it'd be pure rng bullshit
I've been trying NKG without moving, and this run was soo close, my best ever and only 3rd pufferfish yet. Left him at 44 hp.
I'll eventually do a finished run.
Also, I activated full soul entry with Godseeker+ since this challenge is already RNG enough, and getting early pillars/spikes is a run killer, and I still lose enough runs early as it i...
i mean ||#hk-help message||
That's a fun thumbnail
you just really dont do that much dmg if you cant hit him in half his attacks
Indeed lol
i can see that no sideways movement is also agonisingly slow
Absolutely
buuut, the dodging seems managable, other than the pillars
That's why I eased the pain on myself allowing ||full soul meter and kingsoul||
Well, there goes my ||p5|| run...
try what my vid does
its pure agony
Yeah, although uppercut is kinda inconsistent. Since then I learned the parry, so that would surely help
i wanna see you suffer
||charmless dashless?||
parry is good, but if he lands on you you need the perfect parry
I'll add ||AB on top, how does that sound?||
ye
sure
no wait
not charmless ||dashless||
the main point is no jumping
thats the hard part
Ah, mb

What is this?
ya sure, thats ||3 bindings|| worse than mine
Yeah, that's the problem, still, I'm sure it'd be better
Otherwise it's an interesting challenge
ye for sure
Just excruciatingly long
no jump ||pv|| is cool too, i love no jump
ill prob do that later, sounds more managable than ||nkg||
since no bs such as bats or pufferfish
||bats is fine lowkey, but yeah pufferfish||
my biggest problem with bats is that sometimes he does not tp when you go close
but its mostly fine
||pufferfish by dashing is so jank||
||what are pantheons? im trying to 100% the game and im at 107% currently and i was told i need to do pantheons, i have no idea what they are||
first get that last 1%
||radiance|| is not a %
||then im confused on where to get the last percent||
||107% makes perfect sense if they never been to godhome before, godtuner + p1-4 -> 5%||
explore ||royal waterways||
||okay, thank you||
go all the way left in ||waterways||
||thanks||
Anyone know where the nearest bench to ||white defender|| is?
I want to switch up my charm build, but I'd need to walk
Is the one that apears in the imagen of stellar
wait wut?
does the unlock give %?
||kings station|| is prob the most easy
||godtuner does||
Yep, check the completition page in the wiki
didnt know that, cool
so the|| pantheons ||are even more worth for completion than i imagined
most definitely some of the most easy % to get if you have a somewhat completed file, and are going for ||steel heart||
The only ||% I'd wholeheartedly avoid in steel soul is colo3, maybe kingsoul too. Anything else is either not that hard, or in a dream||
||p1-4|| is like 30something mins
||Colo 2 as well perhaps, but that's a nail upgrade also||
true
nahh, thats not that difficult, it should be fine for most
id say ||flower quest|| is another offender tho
True
But it's a hitless challenge, so it's not like you risk dying with ||Dreamgate lol||
Same would go to ||WP tho||
true
||wp|| has 2 hard sections
the rest is really not that bad
idek why those 2 sections are in ||wp||, like they are straight up worse than ||pop||
And both are easy to completely disregard with an ||intended shortcut and a super easy skip||
||Skips cut WP distance in like half||
And most are not even hard
It's crazy
but thats cheezy
It's not, skips are fun
And it's TC's fault for putting a lamp in a ledge ||just high enough to not reach or leaving a giant gap between a saw and a wall||
