[vale tulip]

in on him rn

[drowsy yarrow]

@granite plover click the link in this message to follow it to a list of tips

[rapid yacht]

just need to play it safe and only hit ||after he did the slash upwards||

[stuck heron]

||p4|| was a joke to me until ||Markoth|| appeared

[rapid yacht]

but is it just regular ||markoth||?

[hybrid plinth]

How does inventory falling work?

[dawn grove]

Then you'll love ||Markoth in p5||

[flat sundial]

Its almost at the end

[stoic cedar]

if u mean inventory drops, then its quite precise on latest patch. u will need to open the inventory on the same frame as u fall off a ledge in order to execute the inventory drop. if u downpatch to an older version like 1221 then u can open the inventory midair to easily execute an inventory drop.

[dawn grove]

I know, he ended 2 of my ||p5 attempts||

[flat sundial]

Same

However I cant do the charms binding 💀

[hybrid plinth]

I see, it's frame perfect then

[dawn grove]

I still haven't beaten ||attuned absrad|| but I'll try again tomorrow

[hybrid plinth]

I was wanting to use it to speed up ||zote|| attempts

[dawn grove]

So many easy bosses automatically suck because of ||all bindings||

[flat sundial]

Yea

[dawn grove]

Like the ||2 giant fat bugs that spam goo||

[stoic cedar]

||cyclone slash (unextended, dont spam the attack button to extend it) also uncaps ur fall speed, its not nearly as effective as inventory drops since ur fall speed is capped once the cyclone slash is over but its still faster than falling normally||

[flat sundial]

||The collector is one of those, I cant beat it||

[flat sundial]

||Oblobbles||

[dawn grove]

Yes

I hate spammy attacks in general

I don't think I'll even ever try them on ||radiant||

[flat sundial]

Oblobble are... 💀

[dawn grove]

I beat ||radiant PV|| and I'll never attempt ||radiant Oblobbles||

[flat sundial]

Am trying to do it but I cant doge the attacks

[dawn grove]

I'm gonna try everything in ||radiant too but only after p5||

[stoic cedar]

||honestly oblobbles arent that bad with all bindings. collector is really hard tho (specifically the p5ab collector, p3ab collector is actually free). gpz is also difficult since the fight just drags on forever and also u cant kill the zotelings in one hit. and absrad also becomes quite difficult with all bindings for obvious reasons||

[sly rune]

Who?

[flat sundial]

👍

[sly rune]

Oh.

[dawn grove]

I havent tried them with ||all bindings|| but I can tell I'd struggle with them

It's crazy how long each boss takes with ||all bindings||

[flat sundial]

||I beat asbrad in the hall of gods without charms💀||

[flat sundial]

||PV||

[dawn grove]

I reached ||absrad today for the first time and after 30 attempts on attuned|| I couldn't beat her

[silver vale]

anyone got an ||abs rad|| tutorial i am SUFFERING

[stoic cedar]

nice, thats a pretty difficult feat!

[flat sundial]

I cost me 1 Day for beatin it in atuned

[hybrid plinth]

you lose enough fall speed that it cancels it out

[silver vale]

dude how did you do it

i j unlocked her and im struggling sm

[dawn grove]

I die at the ||platforming part most of the time and I did reach the final phase but an orb|| spawned above me as I was going up

[stoic cedar]

im not following what u mean, ||cyclone slash speeds up ur fall speed considerably while it is active||

[hybrid plinth]

I think I found a video with a good guide

[dawn grove]

I could just keep trying her and I'll get it but I gotta study so I'll probably try again tomorrow

[hybrid plinth]

Yes, but the startup resets your fall speed

[silver vale]

send it please

[hybrid plinth]

Essentially, ||Absrad is just exactly what you do for regular Radiance, but faster||

Lemme check my history

[stoic cedar]

no? speedrunners use it all the time to fall down faster, its a pretty noticeable difference in speed

[silver vale]

yep that is true

[hybrid plinth]

||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkYAejoE3Zk||

[silver vale]

tysm

[hybrid plinth]

They say made easy, but it's still soul-crushingly difficult

Still, it gave me a valuable warning for the final intermission

[silver vale]

ah what else can be expected from the hardest boss in the game

[hybrid plinth]

Apparently, ||beyond the halfway point, the beam will start predicting your path||

[dawn grove]

||radiant PV|| is genuinely easier than ||attuned absrad||

[hybrid plinth]

I'm thinking I should take a break from HK for a while

[hybrid plinth]

Well, most of ||PV|| is spent in the air if you use a ||dash||less playstyle

[silver vale]

7 masks on the 2nd phase lets go guys

[stoic cedar]

||the beams start to become more accurate as u progress through the climb. at the bottom of the climb, the beams are essentially random. but near the top, the beams can only spawn near u||

[hybrid plinth]

Christ, you made it to the second phase?

I installed a health bar mod and that bar is going down SLOWLY

[silver vale]

im dead

[dawn grove]

I only ||shadow dash through the flying spikes or to get away from the focus attack|| so yeah

[silver vale]

its not that bad honestly

[hybrid plinth]

I can't help but think phase 2 may be easier

[silver vale]

its super easy to get crazy dps on phase 2 cause you can j stand on the platform and u dont gotta jump

but if you do that

[hybrid plinth]

Sure, ||you have less room to move, but you don't have to contend with spikes, and she's close enough to you that you can deal rapid dps||

[silver vale]

youre gonna get hit

[hybrid plinth]

Maybe if you're not careful

[dawn grove]

No way. ||I beat the 1st phase hitless and died to the 2nd phase in less than 60 seconds||

[hybrid plinth]

I've learned the most important telegraph

||Her eyes flash if you need to get away from her face at any point||

I don't believe the ||nail walls|| have a telegraph, that said

[silver vale]

its a bit hard to lookat the|| eyes while 50 balls 50 swords and 50 beams of light run at me all at once||

[hybrid plinth]

oop, tag that

Learning the cadence of attacks can help as well

[stoic cedar]

||u can also ddark through whatever she does if u have enough soul, the iframe window afterwards will allow u to deal an insane amount of damage with nail swings and shrieks||

[hybrid plinth]

||The next attack comes when you get through the third nail wall||

[dawn grove]

||She is rarely ever close to you and chasing her is not a good idea as you'll probably get hit. So it actually takes a while. Even if she does teleport to you, she might release spikes or lasers from her face and if you're not ready you get hit. But if you d-dark yes, you do lots of damage but it still takes a while for her to come to you||

[silver vale]

thats so smart ill use that the next time i get to phase to

two*

[hybrid plinth]

||Typically, I'll chase her as much as I think I can get away with||

||if there's no walls coming, I'll try to sneak in hits||

[dawn grove]

I tried it the first time I reached ||phase 2 and it wasn't a good idea||, but who knows maybe you're good at chasing

[hybrid plinth]

||Maybe I'll mix in a DDark to retract spikes below me||

Okay, maybe phase 2 is different

[stoic cedar]

||phase 2 as in spiked floor or platforms? everyone numbers it differently, theres not really an agreed upon phase numbering for absrad||

[dawn grove]

Personally I refer to the ||platforming part as phase 2||

[silver vale]

i aint doin allat man

[flat sundial]

Yea

[stoic cedar]

yea some ppl think that as well, ||others will say that sword rain is also a phase so platform phase is actually phase 3, or someone ppl will agree with the wiki which says that platform phase is actually phase 4||. so u can see there can be some confusion if u just do numerical phases for ||abs rad||

[silver vale]

i hope every moth on this planet dies

[hybrid plinth]

I number it as ||Phase 1 - Solid floor, Intermission 1 - Spike Rain, Phase 2 - Platforms, Intermission 2 - Climb, Phase 3 - Desperation phase||

[silver vale]

yk i j noticed this but the ||feathery effects that come from the monarch wings look nearly identical to the ones that are falling during the radiance fight is that something related to the lore||

[hybrid plinth]

||Wings have feathers||

[dawn grove]

I think of everything before the ||platforms as phase 1 and consider those more like different sections of the first phase, I think they're too short and don't stand out enough to be phases on their own||. But everyone thinks differently

[silver vale]

yeah but i mean ||glowy radiant looking ones is a weird no?||

[stoic cedar]

for reference this is what the wiki lists out as ||absrads|| phases:
||phase 1: no spikes spawning on the floor
phase 2: spikes spawning on the floor
phase 3: sword rain
phase 4: platform phase
phase 5: climb
phase 6: final||

[tame trout]

||how the hell am i supposed to do 3rd trail in colo, i can't do it at all||

Any tips?

[dawn grove]

Yeah I understand why a lot of people split it into 6. ||Those different parts of the fight definitely need to be referred to differently, but if it were up to me I'd split it into like phase 1a, phase 1b, phase 1c, phase 2, the climb is just the transition between phase 2 and 3 and then phase 3.|| They definitely deserve to all be split in some way

[silver vale]

i defo agree

[dawn grove]

What part you struggle at?

[tame trout]

The freaking ||aspids then the super fast mantis like bugs||

[trim hawk]

I think it's a technical reason with how damage is rolled over

[hushed egret]

I did it i beat ||phanteon 4|| with only 5 mask

[trim hawk]

But like come on they're not separate phases

[hushed egret]

Im soo bad at this game

[dawn grove]

That's my thought process too

[tame trout]

Relatable 😔

[trim hawk]

You could argue ||climb|| is a separate phase or not I guess

But that's kinda it

[dawn grove]

I struggled there too when I did it for the first time. Can you show your ||inventory? Also do you have nail arts?||

[tame trout]

And yes i have them

[hushed egret]

Thats a great charm set up

[tame trout]

||I got another notch from grim||

[tame trout]

That what i used to beat ||grim|| lol

It's an old ss sorry for that

[dawn grove]

||The climb makes more sense as a phase than all the diff parts of the fight before the platforming, but idk if I'd consider it a phase||

[hushed egret]

Nice its cool using only nail on ||Grimm||

[trim hawk]

||fire pillars|| is a free ||shriek|| though

[dawn grove]

||For aspids, charge up a nail art while hiding above\under a platform and then one-shot them||

[tame trout]

They never come near

[hushed egret]

I remember the time when i thought using ||spell|| is ridiculous cuz it makes you vulnerable allot

[tame trout]

SYBAU

[dawn grove]

||When it is fully charged you move to them and hit them with the nail art before they can attack and then you go hide again to charge another nail art||

[hushed egret]

But now i just spam them like im spamming ||ddark|| on ||watcher knights||

[tame trout]

Idk if that'll work but ok I'll try, u got any ||charm suggestions||?

I can go get one if im missing ot

[trim hawk]

All the ||spells|| manage to be useful in their own right which i really like

[tame trout]

It*

[hushed egret]

Yess

[tame trout]

I only use them for flying bugs tbh

[dawn grove]

||Nail build, spell build or both?||

[tame trout]

Nail ofc

[trim hawk]

They're prime targets for double hits

[tame trout]

Fr

[hushed egret]

Exactly when you notice that the other ||spell|| is stronger than ||shade soul|| you thought the ||spell|| is useless but you saw ||markoth|| and realize that you are dumb to even make that thought

[tame trout]

It's the best one fr

[hushed egret]

Forreal

[tame trout]

When it double hits it does insane dmg

Like +50 dmg? Or something

[dawn grove]

||If I'm not mistaken you have 10 notches. I'd use MoP, Quick Slash, Strength and steady body/nailmaster's glory||

[hushed egret]

Even ||long nail|| is enough

[tame trout]

Ye that's what im using rn

[hushed egret]

You called use that 1 ||notch|| for ||grub song||

[tame trout]

I go for ||long nail|| tho

[trim hawk]

||xero triples|| just feels so mean

[tame trout]

I use it for ||the dream thing charm||

[hushed egret]

I forreal use ||long nail|| like 90% of the time

[hushed egret]

Or that too is a great charm

[dawn grove]

Yeah for the extra ||notch.|| Then with enough attempts you'll beat ||colo 3||

[tame trout]

Nah i only use it in ||colo||

[tame trout]

Alright imma try it now again

I shall win

Thanks y'all

[hushed egret]

Yesss

[slender gust]

hks running on like 5 fps what do i do 😭

[hushed egret]

Restart your phone XD

[slender gust]

i did its still on 5 fps

[dawn grove]

I died like 10 times at ||colo 3 but first-tried its final boss||

By spamming ||d-dark cuz I was scared with like 3 masks||

[hushed egret]

Yes the boss is only hard cuz your hand is sweaty your sanity is reaching its limits and you dont want to do it again for 15 minutes XD

You have to lock in and spam ||spells||

[tame trout]

||i have 11 notches||

Imma run this

[hushed egret]

Nice you have all of them

[hushed egret]

I highly sugget ||using spell||

[tame trout]

Yeye

[dawn grove]

Yes but now it's pretty easy with just ||nail||

[tame trout]

Hell no I'd rather die

[dawn grove]

You have no idea how useful ||d-dark|| is I see

[hushed egret]

Goodluck to you then see ya after you die to the same part 50 times XD

[tame trout]

IDC im a knight

It's good for iframes

And dashing enemies

[dawn grove]

A ||knight that respawns to get its shade made of void?||

[hushed egret]

Yeah you could not do ||ddark|| midair though

[tame trout]

Yes

Im

A

Hollow Knight

[dawn grove]

Absolute cinema

[tame trout]

Lmao

[hushed egret]

This is actually peak

5 mask with a 106% ||completion||

[dawn grove]

I understand where you're coming from, I never used ||spells either but I started using them in Kingdom's edge.|| They're really useful

[hushed egret]

Me when i see ||primal aspid||

[dawn grove]

I wanna speedrun the game too but only after I beat ||p5||

[hushed egret]

I reach ||absolute radiance|| but i haven't beat hime once

[dawn grove]

Funnily enough they got me to ||use both spells and nail arts||

[dawn grove]

Same but I will soon

Once im confident with ||absrad I might stream my p5 attempt|| even if there's a chance of failing miserably while someone watches

[stuck heron]

[tame trout]

I just died..

Ig ||aspids|| aren't the hardest

[dawn grove]

To what?

[tame trout]

||These mages who keep firing balls and electricity||

[dawn grove]

Ohhh yeah those are the hardest. I don't really have any tips for them you'll get it eventually

[tame trout]

I can barely get there🥀

||I guess I'll go get the fluke charm||

||I need to kill that fluke like boss right?||

Or is it hidden somewhere

[dawn grove]

Just reduce your enemies' hp as much as possible while keeping yours as high as possible

[tame trout]

Ah so i just need to win to win right

[dawn grove]

Pretty sure

[dawn grove]

Exactly

And ||use spells||

[solid heart]

Just don't get hit

[hushed egret]

||fluke charm|| is kinda not good or not bad

[dawn grove]

I think it has gone through a few nerfs

Never used it personally

[hushed egret]

Its kinda fire ngl it helps me on beating

||radiant failed champion||

[dawn grove]

Maybe I'll use it when I get to beating bosses on ||radiant|| but I don't use ||shade soul as much as d-dark and shriek||

[twilit cypress]

does ||grimm|| start with the ||puffer fish || if you hit him when he ||bows||

[dawn grove]

Yes

[civic briar]

||where can I find the place where I can do these pantheons||

[ebon copper]

in general ||fluke|| isnt good at all unless you are using it to perform a glitch

[dawn grove]

||Royal waterways, junkpit. You need a key||

[tame trout]

||I just died after malik||

Sigh

I hate this game im done

[ebon copper]

since ||flkue|| barely does more dmg than ||shade soul|| normally, ||shade soul|| double hits or triple hits are just infinitely more optimal normally

[civic briar]

||can you send me an screenshot where is it? Im in waterways rn||

[dawn grove]

Sometimes I'm better when I take a break so do that

[civic briar]

The entrance is somewhere There right?

[thin plover]

Yep

[civic briar]

There is literally nothing

[thin plover]

Behind a wall

[civic briar]

There is no breakeable wall

[thin plover]

Corner where wall meets ceiling

It's breakable

[civic briar]

I've hit it like 1000 times there and still nothing ( I think thats the one )

[plucky dome]

wrong one, that's the shortcut

[civic briar]

Ty!

[short dawn]

yo what charm build should i use for ||colo 2||? these are my current charms

[sharp torrent]

||spells and nail arts are great for colo, so you could do something like shaman, nmglory, grubsong, wielder, twister, catcher||

no such thing!

that is...certainly a build of all time

not that i hate it or anything

[short dawn]

i feel like ||dream wielder|| wouldn't be very usefull but idk

[sharp torrent]

||it's very good. if you can isolate a single enemy in any wave, you can farm it for full health and soul before moving onto the next wave||

[short dawn]

should i use ||quick slash|| or ||sharp shadow||, those are 2 of my favorite charms

[dawn grove]

||quick slash|| for sure

[sharp torrent]

||they aren't going to do much damage in colo specifically, but if you're comfortable with them then sure||

[short dawn]

i need to grind ||colo 2|| so i can get my damn ||strength|| charm back from ||Divine||

[sharp torrent]

||hoppers|| are better but whatever

[short dawn]

i haven't played the game in a while what's there again?

i only have 1 monitor :/

oh god my worst nightmare

[sharp torrent]

same for ||tram||, and the pattern is easy. what's the big deal?

the setup for ||hoppers|| is 700 per minute which is more than twice as fast as ||tramway||

for reference:
||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2T7sw-pqYM||

[short dawn]

i get that they dont want people spoiling the game but i feel like the censor thingy is to rough, like what are people gonna get spoiled over hearing the word ||tram||

[short dawn]

oh bet

where is it tho

[sharp torrent]

||kingdom's edge||

[short dawn]

yeah but like where on the map

[sharp torrent]

the area you are in right now (||since you are in colo||)

[tidal bridge]

hi guys i want to dowloand skin chara 3.0 for mod customknight but link in web site dont work what i should do?(srry fro my engl)

[short dawn]

i mean like where in ||Kingdom's Edge||

[sharp torrent]

||very bottom, next to the acid pool||

[short dawn]

here?

oh yeah i could take the ||stag to resting grounds|| so i can upgrade my ||dream nail|| while im at it, i just got ||1500 essence||

[sharp torrent]

yes

[short dawn]

ooh ||mask shard||

what does the ||fully awakened dream nail|| do?

[sharp torrent]

||have you ever found any things that you tried to dream nail and it wouldn't work?||

[short dawn]

yeah i have

[sharp torrent]

👍

[short dawn]

is the big thingy in the floor for? is it just for looks or does it actually serve a purpose

[lethal flame]

it's an alter

he constantly comes here to do his weird bit, gets muted/banned and does it again a few days later

[runic jacinth]

woah that bot is goated

[lethal flame]

currently he's in his mute stage

[frosty gazelle]

Just design

[languid kelp]

||So far I have eliminated the Dreamer found in the City of Tears. I know that there’s one in Deepnest, but even after going through the whole “being stuck in a web” thing, I don’t know how to find that Dreamer.||

[short dawn]

should i use|| Quick Nail|| for ||Grimm|| or should i use something like ||Mark of Pride|| instead?

I'm on normal ||Grimm|| in|| Dirtmouth|| rn

are you stuck in that specific place or don't you know what to do to progress the game?

[upper temple]

i'm stuck, because i think i get what i have to do but i don't know really what to do

you get me?

[solid heart]

||Keep exploring deepnest, it's a big area with huge rooms, it's made so you'll be lost and scared for life lol||

Just keep pushing left

[languid kelp]

||Is the Dreamer somewhere in the Beast Den that I didn’t initially find or I have to look around more in Deepnest in general?||

[solid heart]

Do you reckon you can get ||value out of quick slash? Because if you can do it is insane, but if you struggle to get even 1 hit per attack, mop will be better||

[languid kelp]

||I don’t even know how I would go into the Beast Den again after climbing out of it ||

[short dawn]

||i would recommend you go to Deepnest and try to find Failed Tram, it's just below Queen's Station in Fungal Waste||

[solid heart]

Oh wait you've reached there? And you left? Bro, you have it free lol

[upper temple]

Alright thanks

[solid heart]

There is a ||direct entrance to the left, and a hidden one to the right, just climb up the walls||

[languid kelp]

||The part where you get stuck in the Beast Den wrapped in a web. I have already broken free of that place, but I don’t know where Herrah is||

[solid heart]

||Herrah is at the top||

[languid kelp]

I see

I’ll explore it again then

[short dawn]

here's some way's into ||Deepnest||, i cropped most of the image so you don't get any spoilers

The arrow is the path to the ||failed tram||

[upper temple]

appreciate man i'll make my way to it then

[short dawn]

No worries 👍

[fallen heath]

||chat is finding distant village considered late game||

[short dawn]

how far into the game have you gotten

cuz i think it's mid/late game

but i don't remember

[fallen heath]

It looks like there r only few more stegways

Looking at the named

I seen the entire map

[short dawn]

and you found it now?

[fallen heath]

And so far im p sure theres only few locations i havent unlocked

[short dawn]

like i said i don't really remember, you could look it up if you want to

[fallen heath]

Nah

||y did i think getting on a nench inbetween some npcs i havent talked to yet is a good idea||

Im a moron

[flat sundial]

||I did it, the Last binding! ||

[rapid yacht]

mobile?

[sleek mango]

Yall my friend is asking if this build is good for watcher knights

[frosty gazelle]

Remind me how many ||notches is lifeblood heart or whichever lifeblood charm that is?||

[sleek mango]

2

I think its ||lifeblood heart||

[frosty gazelle]

I might drop ||lifeblood heart and steady body for shaman stone if you want to try and just beat the ever loving shit out of Watcher Knights, but overall I think I’d just replace lifeblood heart with another offensive or healing charm||

[sleek mango]

Bruv ||they only have these charms||

[frosty gazelle]

Yeah I’d just slap in ||shaman stone for heart and steady body because watcher knights can definitely overwhelm you so I just like to deal with them as quickly as possible||

[flat sundial]

Yes

[sleek mango]

Bro that's piracy

[flat sundial]

Yea

[sleek mango]

It's bad

[flat sundial]

I know

💀

[junior solar]

guys, what's the easiest way to get the ||awoken dream nail? i already have 673 essence, and killed Gorb, Marmu, No Eyes and Xero. also got the whispering roots from Howling Cliffs, and Resting Grounds.||

[flat sundial]

||All bosses on radiant mode! ||

[fathom creek]

ok?

[junior solar]

how is this helpful, like, congrats but...

[flat sundial]

||Defeat all the dream warriors and some other bosses in their dream form||

||Like soul tyrant, lost kin, and failed champion||

[junior solar]

like, all of them?

[dusk glade]

Some are hidden in weird places be careful

[rapid yacht]

I think this is a cry for help if he did that on mobile..

[dusk glade]

-# hum not needed

[flat sundial]

Kinda

[junior solar]

wait, WHAT THE HE-

[simple island]

you are missing a lot lot lot of ||essence, you ill eventually get it as you progress, basically you need to get to more areas in order to fight more bosses, there is no other way||

don't worry too much about getting it now

[carmine panther]

Only posting this ( these ss took forever to get/make ) for ppl who struggle on finding stuff ig

-# slight spoiler warning for those who haven't reached far of where ever you are in the game rn—ALSO! If you choose to see this, there will be other spots spoiled for u so js a fyi

[frosty gazelle]

||just remember the bosses that leave behind a corpse||

[simple island]

isn't that just the wiki ?

[carmine panther]

Either way- posting it here cuz i've seen ppl ask sometimes where the heck to go or where to buy the map

Like i said, posting it here bc for the sake of ppl finding the geo's or other places

[bright sorrel]

moment

usually when ppl ask that stuff, its not the best idea to provide an image detailing where everything in an area is

and u should post help thats relevant to whats currently needed

also bro did NOT make these

[carmine panther]

Regardless

Im being helpful

:/

[bright sorrel]

thats the intention, but its not necessarily the result

[drowsy yarrow]

GG!!

[carmine panther]

It is if someone asks a question of "where can you buy the map for [insert whatever area they are in]

Or if someone asks, where's the geo's

[drowsy yarrow]

I think it's fair to upload stuff for future reference

[carmine panther]

Thank you!

[bright sorrel]

yes its an answer to that, but not a good one

its counterintuitive

[carmine panther]

It still answers their question and others- granted if they don't kno the pins then sure, okay, i get that part

[bright sorrel]

the idea isnt just to answer a question read the pins

[carmine panther]

My point still stands and as it was stated, its fair to put out something for future ref

[dawn grove]

I think it's fine. People can tell that what they are looking at are highly detailed maps and they can choose how many of them to view or for how many things to use them, depending on whether they care about exploring by themselves or not.

[bright sorrel]

it stands if you decide to ignore everything said

[carmine panther]

Then what if ur not ignoring?

What then?

[bright sorrel]

then youre just breaking the rules and not rly helping ppl

[carmine panther]

I am helping if people have related questions to finding things

By giving them a full map to help if needed

[bright sorrel]

and dozens of other things they didnt ask for

[carmine panther]

It still helps.

[bright sorrel]

and unnecessarily spoils content they didnt ask for

again, read the pins

its quite literally the in the rules to not do that

unless someone were to specifically ask for or specify they dont care about spoilers

[carmine panther]

I read the pins and even then, I would've probably showed em ( asking first if they're okay with it ) to giv em the map incase they get other questions along the lines of AGAIN geos or finding certain points within the maps

[bright sorrel]

if youre going to notify them that it spoils everything about the area and theyre fine then yes u can do it

[drowsy yarrow]

That would have been really nice to have when I was hunting down all the geo rocks. I was using a blurry interactive map.

[carmine panther]

Exactlyyyyy

[drowsy yarrow]

It is super rare for someone to try to hunt them all down though, but I appreciate it

[carmine panther]

Ofc^^

[dawn grove]

Maybe edit the message and add a note saying that if they choose to view the maps they will see lots of potential content they haven't seen yet

[carmine panther]

I did mention something similar in my message

[short dawn]

what's the max amount of mask's you can have without using any charms?

[carmine panther]

^

[dawn grove]

Perhaps make it clearer

[bright sorrel]

ponder approved message?!

[dawn grove]

That way people know exactly what the images are and choose to spoil themselves or not

[drowsy yarrow]

If someone asks about one of those areas and I forgot what exactly the answer was, I'd look at this reference for myself but explain it in words instead of sharing the link

[dawn grove]

Because the maps have a lot of content they might not know about

But otherwise it's great to have those images for reference

[bright sorrel]

if u mean ||no lifeblood then 9||

[carmine panther]

About ||9?- or so||

[bright sorrel]

🐌

[carmine panther]

:/

[bright sorrel]

[drowsy yarrow]

A map of all breakable floors and walls could be useful

[short dawn]

in that case i only have 1 ||mask shard|| left

[proper frost]

||you can kinda make that if you install breakeble wall rando and only rando walls ponder||

[short dawn]

is it bad if im having problems with ||p1|| 😭

[drowsy yarrow]

I might try it, thanks

[drowsy yarrow]

If you mean the last boss of ||p1||, I struggled there too

[nova cobalt]

So i need 2200 more ||Geo|| for the last ||Nail upgrade||, what's the quickest way to get ||Geo||?

[short dawn]

thank god, the others are really easy but the last one is really annoying

[short dawn]

go over here and kill all the ||hoppers|| in the room next to the big water stuff, then exit the room and go back in

[drowsy yarrow]

Either ||colo 2, hopper farming, or dirtcarver farming near tram pass. I think colo 2 is fastest||

[short dawn]

make sure you're only killing the ones in the first part of the room, not the entire hallway

[short dawn]

||hopper|| farming give's you about 700/min, it's way faster since you only get 2k from ||colo 2|| and it takes a while to do

[drowsy yarrow]

||Hopper|| farming example: ||#hk-help message||

[nova cobalt]

I think I'll do the ||hoppers rather than colo 2||

Don't feel like spending that long on the challenge

Rather just listen to YouTube in the background while farming

Thx btw

[short dawn]

yeah that's the one i used to get all the money for ||unbreakable strength||, if you're really tired and just kinda wanna chill it's also way better

[drowsy yarrow]

Interesting 🤔 I should time myself on ||colo 2||

I think sub 3 minutes is possible but maybe not practical

[nova cobalt]

Yeah
I didn't really grind for ||Unbreakable Strength|| i got it yesterday after slowly saving up lol

What are the prices for the other 2 ||Unbreakable Charms|| btw? Might as well get the ||Geo|| for those too

[short dawn]

i don't remember, i just started playing again a few days ago and noticed i was missing it, you could check the wiki

[drowsy yarrow]

9k and 12k

36k for all three

[nova cobalt]

Ouh...

Time to grind

[simple island]

I mean... no need if you don't want

they don't count for any achiev or %

[short dawn]

in the ||fountain|| in ||basin||, do you have to drop in a total of 3000 geo or 3000 at once

[short dawn]

they're really good tho

[nova cobalt]

Idc I'm gonna do it anyway, i mean what if i need the ||Unbreakable Charms|| later

Might as well just do it all now

[short dawn]

grind for ||greed|| first, that way you'll be able to buy the other 2 faster

[drowsy yarrow]

For me, gathering every ||geo rock||, selling every ||relic||, and selling every egg in ||steel soul|| gave me almost exactly enough to buy everything without farming. I also killed random enemies during traversal.

[short dawn]

ain't to way ||relic|| counts as a spoiler

[nova cobalt]

||I already have greed just not the unbreakable one, and i doubt I'm gonna die to hoppers lol||
Wait, does ||Unbreakable Greed|| give more ||Geo||?

[short dawn]

i don't think so, but just make sure you have ||greed|| and ||gathering swarm|| equipped

[nova cobalt]

Ok
Yeh i was already gonna do that

[short dawn]

anyways could someone answer my question please

[drowsy yarrow]

Total of 3k

[short dawn]

nice

still gonna grind for 3k just in case

[nova cobalt]

Wait, putting that much geo in the ||fountain|| does something?
Ahh
Guess i have to grind for 39k ||geo|| now

[short dawn]

it's so annoying because i only have 1 ||mask shard ||and 2 ||vessel fragments|| left, although i know where 1 is

[short dawn]

yeah you get a ||vessel fragment||

[short dawn]

when it says "put all geo in?" it actually only takes away max 3k

[nova cobalt]

Huh, literally the last one i need

[short dawn]

yeah i need that one and 1 last one, i suspect it's the one above the ||tram|| in ||deepnest||

[nova cobalt]

I don't remember if there's one there idk probably
Good thing you asked about the fountain tho lol otherwise I'd have to have gone all the way back to grind again later

[short dawn]

fuck i died

[short dawn]

lol

[nova cobalt]

I played HK like 3 years ago and I've forgotten enough that it's almost like I'm playing for the first time again

[short dawn]

AHA I WAS RIGHT

now all i need is to grind 3k

[short dawn]

same lol, i haven't played in like a year but i decided to pick it back up like 3 days ago

and i managed to beat ||Prince Zote|| under those 3 days lol

[nova cobalt]

How do u get to fight him

[short dawn]

alr now i just gotta get to ||Kingdom's Edge||

[short dawn]

you gotta save ||zote||, do a bunch of stuff and when he's talking to ||bretta|| in ||dirtmouth|| there should be a statue of a really big verison of him in his basement lol, if you ||dreamnail|| it you get to his bossfight

[nova cobalt]

Can't believe Silksong was announced before i played for the first time, i got excited for Silksong to come out, then forgot enough about HK in the 3 years i spend not playing it for me to basically play it for the first time again

And

Silksong is still not out

[short dawn]

same lmao

[nova cobalt]

Ohh ok i think i remember the basement
I've only gone into ||Bretta's|| house once this whole playthrough for the ||Mask Shard|| and to read her fanfiction

[short dawn]

lol

[nova cobalt]

@swift axle anything in the game has to be put in spoilers so the bot doesn't delete it

Just assume if it's in the game, it has to have spoiler tags

[short dawn]

btw here's an example of how i do the ||hopper grind||, althought there is probably a faster way to do this (ignore the fact that i missed a ||hopper||)

[swift axle]

I didn't realize the first area you go to in the game counted as a spoiler

[nova cobalt]

I've just been killing the 3 ||hoppers||, going to the left room, then going right and killing the 3 ||hoppers|| over and over again

[short dawn]

i think it's faster if you atleast kill the first 5

[short dawn]

yeah it's really annoying, the word ||relic ||is also a spoiler :/

[nova cobalt]

Yeah it's kinda stupid, the bot will delete literally anything that's in the game

[swift axle]

at this point I'm just going to put the whole text as a spoiler so that I don't have to put in the effort

[nova cobalt]

Not to mention the names of difficulty settings are also somehow spoilers

[nova cobalt]

Yeah that's what alot of people do lol

[swift axle]

they need to fix this

[short dawn]

that's just insane man

[nova cobalt]

Didn't even realize there was 5 lol i just saw the 3 that were immediately there and didn't even look at the rest of the room

[short dawn]

Beauty Contest aah pfp lol

[swift axle]

(not spoilers) ||I've played for like four hours total, just got the mothwing cloak and met Tiso and know I have absolutly no idea where to go.||

[swift axle]

aib fan detected?

[short dawn]

lmao, get to ||Mantis Village|| it's like the next thing to do

[short dawn]

yeeeeeeeah!

[nova cobalt]

Head to the very lower left of the ||Crossroads||

[swift axle]

arl thanks

[nova cobalt]

Ur welc
There's a jump there that you need specifically the ||Mothwing Cloak|| to get over

You might have already been there

[short dawn]

yay i got 3k geo now, time for the last ||vessel fragment||

[swift axle]

I have, just never went back in my hour and a half of serching for where to go

[short dawn]

one thing i always do to get to ||hoppers|| is that i take the ||Resting Grounds stag||, take the bench at|| colloseum|| and when im done i just quit to menu and rejoin and im at ||colloseum||

[nova cobalt]

I just went to the ||hoppers|| by going directly right from ||king's station||

[nova cobalt]

I completely forgot ||nail arts|| even existed

Yeah that's much faster

[short dawn]

same, i only remembered it when i saw someone else do it, the ||dash nail art|| is really good

lets gooo

got all the fragments

bruh it's a cat gif how is it spoilers

[swift axle]

nice

[short dawn]

all i need now is to get the last ||mask shard...||

[swift axle]

oh hell nah you can't be spoiling the cat gif for anyone who uses the internet.

[simple island]

the bot just deletes every embebd

[inner robin]

The bot can’t view the contents of gifs so it’s just a precaution.
(Like there are gifs of late game bosses that may end up being posted)

[short dawn]

yay 95% completion now, i was at 92% when i woke up today : )

[short dawn]

yeah i know it's just annoying

yes

no need to retype it

[nova cobalt]

Gah sometimes i forget to put spoilers on everything

[short dawn]

same lol

[nova cobalt]

Ok lol

[short dawn]

I still have to fight ||Grimm|| 😭

[nova cobalt]

||Ok then i think I'll just go get the nail upgrade as soon as i have enough Geo so that i can grind faster||

Only reason i don't have over like 10k ||Geo|| already is cus I've been chatting here lol

[short dawn]

which one doyou have rn?

[nova cobalt]

Second to last

[short dawn]

i think it might still be able to 1 shot but im not sure

you can try

[nova cobalt]

Yeah me too I've been waiting till i have all the ||upgrades||
I remember i beat him in my first playthrough but i never beat ||Nightmare Grimm||

[short dawn]

i haven't beat the normal one yet :/

[nova cobalt]

Nah i haven't been one shotting them
||Dash nail art|| takes 2 hits to kill

||Pale Ore? 3||

[short dawn]

all you need is money then

[nova cobalt]

I just need more moneh

For TAHIT- i mean ||Nail Upgrades||

[short dawn]

||Pure Nail|| costs 4k, should be really quick to get

[nova cobalt]

Yeh

[short dawn]

is that a rdr2 reference or am i stupid

[nova cobalt]

I have 3623 so just a lil more

[short dawn]

yeah it's a really good grind

[nova cobalt]

It is lol
I finished my first RDR 2 playthrough literally like a week and a half ago

[short dawn]

[short dawn]

[nova cobalt]

Ok lol
Make sure you play it when you're done with HK cus it do be a LONG game

It's fun tho

[short dawn]

fr, i have around 40 hours rn and there is just SO. MUCH. STUFF TO DO

[nova cobalt]

Ending made me literally shed a tear

[short dawn]

[nova cobalt]

[short dawn]

btw look at this sick art i found lol

[nova cobalt]

Cool who's the artist

[nova cobalt]

Hold on I'll send a link

[short dawn]

[sacred horizon]

[solid heart]

It attacks ||3-6 times every .45 seconds for 1.25 nail damage||

[sacred horizon]

ah so it (in theory) does a bunch of samage

[solid heart]

Yes

It's a decent dps option

And super good for early game

Try to learn how to use it ;)

[sacred horizon]

-# ||colo 2 or relics||

Yes !

[limpid basin]

i don't know how exactly that was a spoiler tho but anyways

||finding grubs (i think that's what they were called the green slug things) you can just look it up on yt or smth||

[nova cobalt]

Have you explored every area on the map or are you in the early game

[limpid basin]

also is there any good way to farm || essence (is that supposed to be spoilered?? || I rlly wanna go to || white palace (i think that was its name) ||

[solid heart]

You don't farm ||essence||

You get it from ||ghosts, dream bosses, or dream trees||

[nova cobalt]

||Beating the dream bosses gets you alot of essence, as well as defeating dream warriors||

[limpid basin]

ik i just don't know how to get a lot of it idk where the bosses are

[dusk glade]

Yes !

[limpid basin]

ok :) thanks

[limpid basin]

thanks to you too

[nova cobalt]

Ur welc
Have you already beaten any of the ||dream bosses?||

[limpid basin]

i've beaten like 3-4 of them i'm not exactly sure I have around 900 || essence || rn

that's like halfway already but it still feels like a lot

[nova cobalt]

Yeah

[nova cobalt]

Do you know what the rest of the ||dream bosses|| are? And where all the other ||warrior dreams|| are?
Asking in case u need to find them

[limpid basin]

NONONO WAIT - I've beaten 3-4 || dream WARRIORS not bosses ||
I think the only || dream boss || i've beaten was || lost kin || and I have no idea where the others are

[thick wing]

where do i go i cant make the jump to top left exit and on bottom right i cant find an exit

i think ive only explored green places

[dusk glade]

Down !

[dusk glade]

Every ||dream bosses ||are close to where they were defeated

[nova cobalt]

||Soul Master, False Knight, and the Crystal Guardian are also dream bosses||

[thick wing]

how do i gte over wall

[dusk glade]

Not the ||guardian||...

[dawn grove]

||not crystal guardian||

[nova cobalt]

Oh lol nvm then

[limpid basin]

you're supposed to || cut the rope that's holding the little platform thing || I think

just in case i don't get "PUT SPOILERSS 😡😡😡"d

[thick wing]

how do i get to platform?

i cant jump high enough

[dawn grove]

||False Knight, Soul Master, Broken Vessel, NKG and I don't remember who else have dream bosses||

[dusk glade]

Maybe it's not the right place to go !

[limpid basin]

you cut while in the air maybe?

[dusk glade]

||white defender gpz||

[nova cobalt]

You need to get there from the other side if you wanna cut it
You'll find the path there later

[dawn grove]

Oh yeahh how could I forget

[dusk glade]

But ||nkg and dream bosses are not related||

And i forgot || if gpz gives essences||

[dawn grove]

Don't think so

[limpid basin]

lol

thank you all <33 this is such a great fandom 😔

[dusk glade]

Is that sarcasm ?
If not thanks you !

[limpid basin]

it's not..

i js use emojis a lot

[drowsy yarrow]

||Sisters of Battle Tips

The safest place to stand is off to one side of the platform, but not so far that you are in range of the double lunge. This prevents getting forced to the edge by the Triple Dive. I will refer to these as "safe zones".

• Dive:
  • as they drop, slowly walk to the other side, slashing behind you
  • if you're pushed to the edge of one safe zone, shade dash to the other safe zone and wait there for another attack
• Lunge:
  • jump to where they are lunging and ddark
  • don't try to slash their butt, walk immediately towards a safe zone
  • you can sneak in an upslash while you walk to the safe zone, before your iframes wear off
• Boomerangs:
  • if in range, walk to the side and shriek to hit one on the wall and the one trying to dive at you
  • to be safe, bait the dive somewhere, then dash away early
  • return to a safe zone afterwards

||watcher knights|| needs to be spoilered

[solid heart]

Yeah, I suggested that a while ago...

[solid heart]

I haven't seen Kark online in a while

Holy shit that build 😭

[potent sedge]

I'm sorry it's just my boss build

[solid heart]

||womb, thorns and Joni's are active debuffs||, you're literally better of without them

You can use something like ||mop or quick slash to enhance your nail, or catcher or shaman for spells||

Anyways, I don't have time to type now

@stoic cedar could you take this please?

Oh, or ||quick focus for healing||

[upper temple]

best charm build?

[stoic cedar]

Depends what u have and for what purpose

[stoic cedar]

This isn’t a good build, none of those charms are that good, I would suggest u take out all these charms and choose some other ones. ||for bosses, u should be using charms like quick slash and shaman stone. soul catcher, grubsong, mark of pride, steady body, or quick focus are also good options to consider||

||an example charm build could be shaman stone, quick slash, mark of pride, grubsong (or steady body)||

[full rain]

What charms should i use for the second half of ||pantheon 4||, ive been doing good but every time i get to ||pure vessel|| i dont have enough masks left

[abstract shale]

||You should use Grub Song||

[pallid cedar]

Is ||radiant difficulty|| actually insta kill or does it have a mask damage so high it's like insta kill

[full rain]

It is instant kill

[pallid cedar]

Ok

[zinc verge]

what the fuck is this garbage build?
i have a feeling that you are trolling

[potent sedge]

i am currently stuck, idk where to go, can someone help?

[stoic cedar]

instead of asking if someone can help, just ask ur question. this is the help channel so ofc ppl would be willing to help

[flint bone]

how would i ask it?

[stoic cedar]

wdym

just ask

how r we supposed to know what u r stuck on without any additional info

[flint bone]

i dont know how far im in the game

ik i defeated the first boss i think? god its been so long

actually ykw nvm

dont answer i'll start over

[stoic cedar]

okay then

[flint bone]

sorry for wasting time

[ember relic]

||gotcha||

[random whale]

How do I dep that blue thing

[livid shoal]

What

[wild root]

OMG

sorry i dont get to use that like ever

(its not even a spoiler)

[oblique lion]

What do i need to do to make sure i fight ||the radiance||?

Do i need to do the ||delicate flower|| challenge?

[shut sparrow]

||you need to have a specific charm||

[shut sparrow]

no

[oblique lion]

Is it the black one?

[shut sparrow]

yes

no you just need the charm

[oblique lion]

Do i have to do ||path of pain?||

[oblique lion]

Yeah but u get the second half of the white charm from ||path of pain|| right?

[shut sparrow]

no

how much ||essence|| do you have?

[oblique lion]

2500

[shut sparrow]

and you have collected the rewards?

[oblique lion]

Yup

The moth is no longer there

[shut sparrow]

then you can ||dream nail the corpse in ancient basin||

[oblique lion]

Which takes me to ||path of pain|| right?

Cus ive already done 3 of the 4 soul thingies

[shut sparrow]

no, it takes you to ||white palace. Path of pain is just a tiny hidden fraction of white palace||

[oblique lion]

Oh

[shut sparrow]

||path of pain gives you nothing||

[oblique lion]

Then why do ppl do it

Does it give an achievement?

[shut sparrow]

no

it gives nothing

people do it if they find it fun

[oblique lion]

But its not fun

[shut sparrow]

that's subjective

if u don't find it fun you don't do it

[oblique lion]

Its literally in the nMe

NMe

Name

[oblique lion]

Nah ill do it for the same reason i didnt give up on fighting ||nkg||

To prove myself

[shut sparrow]

that being?

[scenic ruin]

I am trying to 112% the game. This involves getting ||9 masks|| in total. So far I have ||8 and I need 2|| more ||shards for 9.|| One is given by ||seer|| and the other is from the|| grey mourner.|| Am I required to do ||delicate flower|| just to get the|| shard|| from ||grey mourner? ||is there no other way to 112%?

[oblique lion]

||nightmare king grimm||

Argueably the 2/3rd hardest boss in the game

[shut sparrow]

which you do because it brings you joy which makes the reason for you doing ||path of pain joy as well||

[scenic ruin]

can anyone help

[oblique lion]

Yes

[shut sparrow]

so you find it fun as well

[scenic ruin]

So I have to do the|| delicate flower ||no matter what for 112%

[oblique lion]

Has anyone you that you're evil?

[shut sparrow]

please use spoiler tags on ||9 masks||

[oblique lion]

/j

[scenic ruin]

my bad

[oblique lion]

Good luck

[scenic ruin]

😭😭😭

[oblique lion]

Is beating ||nkg|| with only ||8|| hearts impressive?

[flat sundial]

If its youre first time, Maybe.

[oblique lion]

How much % do u have currently

[oblique lion]

Yay

[scenic ruin]

90.92%

[oblique lion]

Oh alr

I expected 102% or smth

[shut sparrow]

anything can be impressive depending on your skill level, experience, how much time you put into it etc. It doesn't really matter if something is impressive to others as long as you're proud of it

[shut sparrow]

please tag ||8 hearts||

[oblique lion]

Oh sorry

[scenic ruin]

I just have to|| awaken dream nail, do the dream bosses the some that are left, pure nail, one more pail ore, vessel frags and the grub charm and voidheart. final trial and pantheon||

[flat sundial]

||The first 4 pantheons||

[oblique lion]

Hey so umm u should set ur priorities straight

[scenic ruin]

not the last one?

[flat sundial]

No

[scenic ruin]

yeah i mean thats all i have left but i dont know what order to do it in

[oblique lion]

Btw when u go to the ||white palace|| use the honey charm

[scenic ruin]

for what reason?

havent been there yet

[flat sundial]

||Good tip for path of pain||

[shut sparrow]

||deepfocus + grubsong|| better imo

[flat sundial]

I did that me first time

[scenic ruin]

all there to do at the|| palace is get the kinsgoul half right||

[flat sundial]

Yea

[oblique lion]

Bro what, how it literally gives u infinite lives u just gotta wait a bit

[shut sparrow]

if you don't care about lore yes

[oblique lion]

Dont forget abt ||trial of the fool||

[shut sparrow]

||and deepfocus + grubsong also gives you infinite hp just without the waiting part||

[scenic ruin]

Nah I know the ||path of pain ||but just trying to 112% in this playthrough

[scenic ruin]

yeah

what order so you suggest i do everything in i already listed what I have left

[shut sparrow]

||path of pain|| isn't the only lore there. There are multiple hidden rooms

[scenic ruin]

yeah Ik

Im just confused about the order

[oblique lion]

Yo i just wanna say that you're highkey a rlly likeable person

[scenic ruin]

I was thinking mabye|| the vessel frags first then the grubs, pure nail, dream nail, dream bosses, voidheart, trial of the foll then the pantheons||

[flat sundial]

You only go for the ||White fragment||

[flat sundial]

Good order

[scenic ruin]

And lastly that stupid ||delicate flower||

[flat sundial]

||Also whats the pale ore are you missing? ||

[oblique lion]

Anyways ill do ||delicate flower challenge|| today then ill do ||trial of fool|| then ||white palace||

[scenic ruin]

the one from the|| grubfather||

[flat sundial]

Oh

[flat sundial]

Oh X2

[oblique lion]

After i beat the ||radiance|| can i go back for the ||pantheon||

[flat sundial]

Sure

[shut sparrow]

thanks

[scenic ruin]

is ||radiance ||required for 112%

[flat sundial]

Its confusing to say it

[oblique lion]

Btw do you have any tips for beating ||sly||

Dont look at this surfside

[shut sparrow]

no

[scenic ruin]

ok now im a little confused

[deep dawn]

what is it that i do here

[scenic ruin]

why did team cherry have to make the|| flower ending|| compulsory

[oblique lion]

Hit it

[flat sundial]

Kill her

[oblique lion]

She's ok with it btw

As ||hornet|| would say "git gud"

Also make sure to heal as much as u can when there's only one enemy left before the next round

[deep dawn]

its canon no

[livid shoal]

||Nail Arts||

[oblique lion]

Btw ur ||dream nail|| gives u soul if u hit regular enemies

[oblique lion]

||the dreamers are completely fine with getting killed||

[deep dawn]

i see ty

[oblique lion]

Goodluck

Btw just a warning at the end of the ||trial of the fool|| there's a boss

You can encounter him early by doing the ||pantheon of the seer||

No ||unbreakable strength and quick slash||?

[flat sundial]

||Dream wielder||

[shut sparrow]

||sly is tricky. Definitely practice him in the hall of gods to get consistent before you try the pantheon again.

For the fight you can either use nailarts or just use normal nail attacks if you feel more comfortable with that.
Generally focus on identifying and dodging his attacks first and only then think about attacking. This usually means hitting him once or twice in between each attack and then getting ready to dodge again.
Make sure to use the walls to your advantage. This doesn't mean straight up camping on them but just be aware of them and consider them as a potential way to dodge incoming attacks if you're cornered.
Whenever you are unsure if you'll get hit especially when in the air make sure to use ddark. This will allow you to get down safely which you can then follow up with a jump or dash to get out of danger potentially even dealing damage with the dive as a nice bonus.
Healing on this fight is tricky. It's usually possible on the jump attack and triple slash but you need to do it right and the timing is tricky. So if you don't plan on learning that I recommend just healing on staggers.

For phase two I can share a video if you'd like||

please use spoiler tags on that || like this ||

[oblique lion]

Then grind

[shut sparrow]

||focus your charm build and strategy on nail arts and spells especially. Charms that only affect your normal nail are not very good for it||

[oblique lion]

I rlly hope the 4th ||pantheon|| is easier

[shut sparrow]

many people find the ||pantheon except for the last boss easier than the third||

[shut sparrow]

so do you also need advice on the second phase or have you not reached that part yet?

[oblique lion]

Ive only staggered him once

[shut sparrow]

Then you should probably fight him more to get a better idea of your weaknesses

[oblique lion]

Im using the same charm build i use for the ||pantheon|| cus i dont wanna get used to a build im not gonna use

[shut sparrow]

that's good

what charms are u using?

praying it's not ||sharp shadow||

alright gotta sleep gn

[zinc verge]

just abuse ||nailmaster's glory and dream wielder||

[golden cairn]

||hornet setinel radiant setup||

[radiant raft]

Certified Good Build.

[golden cairn]

so i just need to git gud now

ok

[keen stream]

||sprint and mop|| is ass ngl

not even worth using in that fight

[pale anvil]

||been wondering this for SO long but when you finally appease the grey mourner and get her mask shard can you take another flower? Since giving it to godseeker is linked to another ending, But if you can’t that means you have to get embrace the void on 8 masks.||

[keen stream]

i suggest you use ||quickslash|| instead of ||mop|| and jus ditch the ||sprintmaster||

[stoic cedar]

||after u deliver the flower to the grave, u can pick up delicate flowers from the grave instead||

[pale anvil]

swap out ||sprint|| for either ||wayward compass|| or ||heavy blow|| since they are the best charms in the entire game

[pale anvil]

K, Ty i was wondering it for so long

||Also another thing I dont understand is the godtuner, how does it work? And what does it do? Is it linked to why the godseeker is lying on the ground for me?||

||I thought it was needed to get into godhome but that isnt the case||

[stoic cedar]

||the godtuner is an item in the inventory that will show ur progress in the pantheons when hovered over. additionally, every time u have a new boss unlock, the godtuner symbol will show under ur health bar for a moment to notify u of the boss unlock||

[pale anvil]

Ohhhhh! I see….
Last question, ||How do I get Godseeker to stop lying down dead looking? Im assuming it’s when you unlock his mode after P3 but Im curious.||

[stoic cedar]

||im pretty sure she becomes more and more awake the more pantheons u beat. it might be 2 or 3 pantheons before she sits up, not entirely sure about that||

[pale anvil]

ITS A SHE???

[livid shoal]

[livid shoal]

It's ||2 pantheons when she sits up||

[zinc verge]

thats overkill for fucking ||hornet sentinel|| but ok

[keen stream]

you guys still have them ||absrad|| vids?

i somehow unlearned platform phase

[frosty ocean]

Ello

[keen stream]

been trying ||absrad ab||

[drowsy yarrow]

nice! I'm finally moving away from ||bindings||

[keen stream]

and ive been trying ||ab hog||, what a coincidence

been doing it in hardest->easiest sequence so i can breath more comfortably as i progress

[stoic cedar]

good luck, ||ab radhog|| is actually pretty fun to grind out so u should aim for that

[drowsy yarrow]

I haaate relearning things. I never have the same motivation

[keen stream]

and im stuck with ||absrad|| once again

[keen stream]

I'll do just that if i get comfy with ||ab||

prolly do ||p4 and p5 ab|| after it

[drowsy yarrow]

||I think radhog ab might not be too far off from p5ab in terms of difficulty||

I'm too used to #hk-discussion now and keep getting sniped

[boreal spade]

lol rip

[keen stream]

oh god..... i forgot about ||radkoth||

[stoic cedar]

||p5ab is definitely harder than ab radhog, take me for example who still has an abs rad pb on p5ab despite having done ab radhog||

[drowsy yarrow]

Yeah I agree, although it's hard to come up with a challenge in between those two achievements

[boreal spade]

Isn’t it just bc of the challenges before hand

[stoic cedar]

not entirely sure what u mean by that, could u rephrase?

[keen stream]

the mental strain on doing ||p5ab|| is prolly awesome

[drowsy yarrow]

||absrad pb|| is really really close though, are you still making attempts?

[boreal spade]

I think I read it wrong were you talking about || radiance being harder in pantheon than hog||

[stoic cedar]

the attempts have been slowing down since i cant seem to repeat that performance, ||i always die to smth stupid or die somewhere in the last 7||

[stoic cedar]

nope

wasnt talking about that

[boreal spade]

Oh yeah mb

Read it wrong

[drowsy yarrow]

Yeah, you'd think ||lifeblood|| would ease the tension but what actually happens is you lose one, which makes you lose more, which makes you spiral until all the ||lifeblood|| is gone, and only then do you remember your muscle memory.

[keen stream]

i feel like i need to relearn allat boss

istg, it hasnt even been a week since i last played hk and i already need to relearn ||absrad||

[drowsy yarrow]

I developed some weird mental block at ||Zote|| when trying to do it a 2nd time. I was stuck for like 2 weeks.

[boreal spade]

lol

[boreal spade]

Worst character in the game

I hope he dies in silksong

[drowsy yarrow]

Sometimes I'll practice a boss until I have it down, then practice another 3 bosses, then realize I've already forgotten how to do the first one I practiced by the time I get back to it

The practice does add up though, it just doesn't always produce results

It helps a lot trying to make guides though, because it makes me want to have a sort of "flawless clear" for a demonstration, which makes me redo the fight until there aren't any errors.

Which sometimes means recording 3 dozen ||radiant|| clears

[keen stream]

if i really put my mind into it, i think i can do ||p5ab|| until ||winged nosk|| or ||sly||

[strange oriole]

guys i seriously love this game but i dont know what too do right now

[drowsy yarrow]

are you gonna skip ||eb||?

[keen stream]

probably

i dont have the brain power to do the same ||pantheon|| 4 times

[drowsy yarrow]

use spoiler tags around any game content using double vertical bars ||like this||

[keen stream]

you finished the game?

[strange oriole]

no

just past ||hornet||

and idk were too go now

[keen stream]

you didnt love the game enough then

[drowsy yarrow]

send a screenshot of your inventory?

[keen stream]

game is more about backtracking tbh

[strange oriole]

of my ||charms||?

[drowsy yarrow]

key items page

[strange oriole]

only got the || city embelm||

[drowsy yarrow]

There should be some new places available to you now that you can ||dash||

[strange oriole]

im gonna check

[drowsy yarrow]

If it helps, what motivated me to really try ||p5ab|| was succeeding in ||p3ab and p4ab||. I figured if I can just do those two back to back, and also learn ||collector||, I could win.

It is a bit harder than that because of ||Zote's|| position in ||p5|| but it's not too farfetched

[stoic cedar]

||i would also suggest the godseeker+ mod, one of the features is that u can choose to spawn at any bench in p5, which is very helpful for practicing certain segments||

[keen stream]

ig i should do another trickery to trick myself into doing it

[ebon copper]

im tryna learn to chase in ||radabsrad|| plats phase, and im failing so miserably

[keen stream]

I'll give up on ||anyrad||... for now

[drowsy yarrow]

if ||R5|| breaks me, I'll probably try ||pale court and any rad||

[stoic cedar]

Good luck on that, ||I tried r1-r4 and they were relatively chill, but then I gave r5 a shot and my current pb is oblobbles lol||

[drowsy yarrow]

I just had an attempt an hour ago. Here's what I got hit by: ||Dung Defender, Oro and Mato (2), Marmu, WK, Uumuu, Nosk, Lost Kin (2), Tyrant, Markoth, Zote (2), PV, Absrad||

Finished ||r4|| yesterday

[stoic cedar]

Nice! I somehow miraculously did ||r4|| in my first attempt, insane fluke

[drowsy yarrow]

Wow, nice!

[stoic cedar]

Idek why but I found ||r1|| to give me quite a bit of trouble, more so than ||r3 and r4|| for some reason

[drowsy yarrow]

||r3|| had a lot of bosses I was inconsistent at. I had to practice ||Hornet 2, Zote, and God Tamer||

||r1 and r2|| didn't give me too much trouble, although I did get hit by one purple paint after taking out ||sheo||

[stoic cedar]

Man I had pretty much the complete opposite experience, maybe it was cuz I wasn’t taking the easy bosses seriously enough

[drowsy yarrow]

I had to practice ||normal nosk|| actually

[stoic cedar]

Like not even kidding, ||r3 took me about 5 attempts and r4 took me 1, meanwhile r1 and r2 took like 45 mins each or smth stupid like that||

[drowsy yarrow]

That's actually not far off of how many attempts I made. I just put in a lot of extra practice for ||r3 and r4||

And I needed it, I kept messing up in ||hog||

but when it came time for actual attempts, I got ||r3|| on my 2nd real attempt (not counting ||hive knight or elder hu|| resets, idr how many)

and ||r4|| on my 4th attempt (including a reset at ||enraged guardian and lost kin||)

||r1 and r2|| took me at least an hour each but I figure that's not too bad relative to how much practice I put in for those.

[ebon copper]

did my 1st ||r1 attempt, got hit twice on mawlek and soul warrior, once on oromato||

[drowsy yarrow]

Oh yeah I had to practice ||mawlek|| too

[drowsy yarrow]

nice, you'll get it I'm sure

[ebon copper]

didnt really try for it like ever, i did try to speedrun it with ||fury|| tho, i have some decent runs, none of them amazing

[bold mist]

I did it wrong didn't I?

[drowsy yarrow]

Also since you only have ||5 notches and are missing a lot of charms||, ||mark of pride + soul catcher|| could work. How many ||masks|| do you have? @bold mist

[bold mist]

7

[drowsy yarrow]

Probably shouldn't rely on ||lifeblood heart|| then. You could go for ||quick focus + soul catcher|| as well.

If you want strategy for the fight itself, click this: ||#hk-help message||

That link contains tips and a video, but the video might contain mild spoilers

[bold mist]

These are my charms for a better look

[drowsy yarrow]

Yeah probably could replace ||lifeblood heart|| with ||soul catcher||. Although it's really more a matter of preference.

The ||charms|| likely won't be the difference maker as much as the strategy.

[bold mist]

So I have ||soul catcher and mark of pride|| on me rn

[drowsy yarrow]

If you like ||steady body||, you could use ||steady body + grubsong|| instead of ||lifeblood heart||

[bold mist]

I usually just cruise through with ||shaman stone|| so this'll be different
