you could replace ||mark of pride|| with ||shaman stone|| too. Of your ||3 notch charms||, either ||mark of pride, shaman stone, or quick focus|| are good options
You only have ||5 notches at Hornet 2?|| 
Does the gate that you open on the ||path of pain|| stay open if you go back to menu or do you have to restart the whole thing
The gate stays open
How many ||charm notches|| are recommended for ||hornet 2?||
And where's the ||Grimm torch to get him here?||
nice troll
Wdym?
I got a sixth ||notch||
||I'd probably recommend getting one or two more but really its other stuff that matters||
That will make it easier. I'd say any combination of the ||3 notch charms|| I mentioned earlier would be good
||Quick focus|| is severely underrated for first playthroughs. Quite often you can heal much more during healing windows, or even find windows that don't exist otherwise. It makes fights far more forgiving. Eventually people tend to shift their focus to dealing damage as fast as possible, but if you're just trying to beat the boss, it's really good.
However more healing means less ||soul for spells||, which is a bit of anti-synergy with ||shaman stone||
imagine using ||lifeblood heart||
I wouldnt assume them to be trolling because of that. It also isnt the nicest thing to do.
so your build should be
||shaman stone, wayward compass, gathering swarm and grubsong for exploration||
||shaman stone, soul catcher and grubsong for bosses||
yo i just finished all the ||dreamers|| and i'm at the ||hollow knight|| fight do i need to fight ||radiance|| just after or is it after the game ends
do you have the ||void heart|| charm?
I'm fighting ||nkg|| rn but whenever i die the screen is white and i can't see. is there anything i can do?
if it does like that just restart the game
is this build fine for|| absrad?|| or should i go for a more offensive one
yeah but it does it again after a fes trys
i might swap out ||steady body for sprintmaster|| cause your mostly upswinging when fighting the boss
I'd go for a more offensive one, for example with ||quickslash and grubsong instead of deep focus||
okay ty
ill try it oput and see if it works better for me
i think it's somthing with your pc then
or ||unbreakable strenght instead of quickslash if you dont hit her very often||
actually isnt ||strength|| overall more efficient than|| quickslash||?
i dont think so if you swing at max speed, because you decrease ||swing cooldown from 40%, which means 66% dmg increase, and more soul||
he also got ||sbody which is very good with qs||
||qs|| helps build soul faster too
its the overall better/more efficent charm
also ||qs|| is just infinitely more fun than ||strenght||
increases the skill ceiling by quite a bit
oh okay ty
im more comfortable playing w ||strength ||tho so ill stick to that but if i ever wanna go for faster runs ill def be using ||qs||
best is to just use both tho
whats your build?
What is ||qs||?
||quick slash||
Oh yeah
|| do you guys have tips for the colosseum of the conqueror? ||
btw, using both is even better
figure out where its most safe to heal
Yeah I might need those tips aswell.
just try to always have max health at the beginning of waves
I was just gonna try it
is it ||colo2 ?||
ye
3
ive been using ||quick focus|| to learn the fight and i took off ||steady body|| cause when im figvhting ||abs rad ||im only ever using the upward hits
||is there any way to lower that snow storm effect during the 2nd hornet fight cos the lag is harder than her||
No
then use ||nail arts, they one shot most flying ennemies||
i mean this is decent, tho i can ofc say that ||grubsong sprint master and qf|| arent the best
I got particle effects and blur on low 😭
the best build for just beating the game is whatever you feel most confident with
||cant get to the watchers spire cos it lags in the room with all those beetles||
other stuff only really matters when you want speed
also when you are in the wave with no ||floor, use shriek||
@buoyant flame
it covers almost the whole arena
you got this
u got this
Yeah I beat her!
I've already done her in the ||pantheon|| so I knew what to do
Uh oh, now I gotta do ||p4||.
oh congrats!
have fun practicing ||pure vessel|| haha
Yeah I can't even get past ||White defender||
Wait is ||absrad|| in ||p4|| or ||p5||?
5
oops
the best boss in the game
Good, then it isnt needed for 112%
i agree i beat him on ||radiant ||the other day and it was the best feeling
Nah, ||NKG|| is better imo
hell ye
thats how i felt until i got better at him haha
||nkg|| is fun if you are doing challanges with him
But ||Mantis Lords|| is also one of the best designed bosses in the game.
should i try tobeat every boss on ||radiant?|| seems like a fun challenge
defo agrere
like this no jumping and no charms run
Yes, and after that do ||radiant Any Radiance||
im good haha
Lol
whoa those parries are clean asf
need to be or id be dying the whole time
lel
I started updating my laptop like I believe 30 minutes ago, it's on 16% (which means he sucks cuz I'm on 111% and almost 112%)
:3
|| is steady body good?||
It's actually rly useless
you can just press forward
no
Do you have access to ||queen's garden|| ?
i bought the map but i didn't go there yet
Explore it then the first piece of the ||kingsoul|| charm needs a boss fight :)
How many ||essence|| do you have btw?
is this necessary for the ||hk|| fight?
If you want to fight ||the radiance|| then yes
Feel free to dm or friend me if you need more help
finally!
sure
Gg now get the ||pure nail||
wait there is an upgrade 😭
i thought that was the highest
😭
That's the last upgrade
And then the ||nailsmith|| will tell you to kill him
Don't do that tho
||Pure vessel’s|| nail?🤯
Kinda
Where can I get a longer one
||long nail|| or ||mark of pride||
Basics 🔥
Can I say swear words
Buy it from ||salubra||
I want a ||nail|| that looks like white dude
And for ||mark of pride|| it needs a boss fight
You mean a nail that already has a long range?
And?
When you upgrade your nail to the maximum level it says ||"the old nail reveals its true form"||
I wanna break my nail
Fuckin duh
Look at the dm 💀
Wait that's a bit suicidal
Yh
help, how do I beat ||Hornet in kingdom's edge||? -,_,-
Git gud
||**hornet in kingdoms edge is just a faster version of her in greenpath with a parry and a goofy silly shurikane thingy that she spawns in the air that you can destroy but ig i will go over every attack||
||sphagetti is pretty easy you just gotta notice she is about to do it and stay away, so pay attention to her when she jumps||
||silly dashy dashy is just like.. Either jump over her if she does it on the ground or just dash away from where she is going||
||for the parry if you hit it just dash away||
||for the silly needle throw jump over it, its also a good moment to get some hits in and if you go for that make sure to jump over it twice when it comes back||
||for the shurikanes thingies just stop attacking hornet for a second and destroy em||
||charms i personaly use are strenght, quick slash, longnail, and shamans||
||ALSO after she is done with the stagger she ALYWAYS jumps to the center of the arena so its an easy moment to get howling wraits in||
Screw you
||**Thanks a lot, polsku orca man!||
yes, in specific fights its slighltly more dps
||fragile strenght, the 600 geo charm you get from leg eater||
the one you buy from the|| leg eater|| fella
||grubberfly's elegy - get more grubs
spell twister - look in soul sanctum
deep focus - look in crystal peaks
lifeblood core - most likely not yet accessable
shape of unn - far left of greenpath
weaversong - weaver's den in derpnest
**** - progess in the main story||
||What main story i already got all masks i just didn't kill the hollow knight yet||
||he has sharp shadow so he has shade dash meaning he has abyss access||
ahh, forgot you cant get ||ss|| without
Ye i pretty much have all locations
As far as i know
yea theres a ||shade gate|| in the way
than just explore ||ancient basin|| more for ||lifeblood core||
its only 1 check so it rarely ends up being relevant in randos
hence idk much about it
Ig i explored it all, is it behind a hidden door or something
nit really
Alr I'll go check again
there is a|| door midfall on the left side||
Ig it's locked
Ye i remember seeing a door there
Alright alright thank
Oh one more thing, ||where do i use the love key?||
I can't find an entrance nor a place for it
there is a door on the left side middle height in ||kingdoms edge||
Okay I'll check that thanks
you can however not just simply go up, you need to go around to get there, so 1st go right, than up, and than to the left
Ah like the ||colo|| route?
its to the left of that
only need to go one transition to the right, up and than back
How tf do i get this I can't see a place

🔹 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.
you are in the ||hive||, thats not the same as ||kingdoms edge||
fuck
||in the room closest to the grub marker, climb up the right wall and cdash at the top, u should see an opening in the ceiling. double jump to get into the hole in the ceiling and it should be clear from there||
Well that ||grub|| is accessible from the ||hive|| side…
It is hidden in the roof of all places
???
Isn’t there something called "||love tower||" on their map ?

Wouldn’t that be a pertinent place to use that ||key|| 
People keep surprising me lol
tbf, while knowing where to use it isnt that bad, actually finding where you can enter isnt that obvious
also nice new pfp
I still didn't find it there
Can u maybe get a ss when u're free?
It’s my old pfp
The cake was « temporary »
So like 4 months lol
video by thommie (he has a bunch of vids for hk help, might as well use them lol): ||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiHRCEfQPCM||
I already got it, but it should be clear
Alr thanks
well, thats longer than what i have been here for, so ye
rad
what ||charm|| build should i use for ||pantheon 1||
Do you have all charms?
im missing 4 but those arent really useful
yes
for a late game charm build I would say that ||shaman/quick slash/strength is a base line then you can add stuff like heart/spell twister/any combination of grubsong, nmg, dream wielder, sbody to finish; you can also replace one of the first 3 charm with MoP||
||I would recommend shaman stone, quick slash, strength and any of these: spell twister, steady body, grubsong, nail masters glory.||
can i use ||dream wielder|| for soul
Sure
You don't have to listen to anything I say if you want to use anything else lol
ok thx
also ||dream wielder|| is a really cool charm
real
We need to help vure pessel he needs help
dont
Do you find a specific attack challenging
Specific behavior
You just jump and pogo once
When it does that
Pay attention to audio cues
Don't only focus on your character, make sure you're aware of everything on screen
||Check out the left side of the area||
oki
||Yeah, explore the exits you havent filled yet||
hi otso 
||should i be in this area? ||
Hi nonsenf 
||You are supposed to visit everywhere you are able to get to, but some of the places dont lead to anywhere yet||
|| i js explored the left side and the right side is already explored for me im so confused ||
||am i still missing a place to be discovered? ||
I can see plenty of unexplored exits on the screenshot you sent
||Theres two exits on the left side and two more right of the stag||
||stag?||
||The bug that carries you between dirtmouth and crossroads||
oh that
Why's it so cute 😭
i need help on ||sly in pantheon 3 perticurly faze 2||
how too use ||hallownest seal||
ive beaten ||absrad ||twice now but i cant seem to get her down consistently, any tips?
||you can't really use it for anything. You can sell it later for geo||
Analyze your gameplay to figure out what attacks you struggle with/at what times you often get hit
i feel like i dont nescessarily find one attack difficult but its like sometimes a sequence of bad rng is all it takes during the 1st, 2nd, or 4th phase that just instantly kills me
every pattern is dodgeable though so it's never rng
yeah ik some sequences j feel a bit harder than others
if you want you can send a video of an attempt and I can tell you things you can improve on
sure
thx
Make sure the file size of the video isn't too big for discord though. So either compress it enough or just upload it on yt and send the link
heres the video and my charms

Watch Hollow Knight and millions of other Hollow Knight videos captured using Medal.
oh i just did another attempt and beat it haah
Finally GRIM TROUPE IS DEADD
|| I used charms- hiveblood and soul eater ||
Plim plom plim
congrats!
||the initial phases before sword rain looks like it was going mostly fine, u were mostly just fumbling on the dodges. But on plats u were chasing a bit too aggressively, most of the hits u took in plats were due to u chasing when u shouldnt have. Also I noticed that u dont really use spells, i would highly recommend using spells in this fight, it makes it go by a lot quicker and also allows for more attacking opportunities||
||as for ur charms, i assume this is ur pv build since sprint master isn’t exactly that useful against absrad, and u were mainly doing up slashes so sbody was pretty useless as well. But u can try to make a build tailored for abs rad and try practicing pv with that build to get comfortable with it. For example spell twister is pretty good against absrad but only if u use spells, u can try to experiment with the charms urself to see what works||
||for the charms i wanted to keep a build that i would also be using in p5 so id be used to it ykwim, but i will try out new chamrs and do pv w them cause ive practiced it enough for pv to be easy,
also i wasnt using my spells as much cause i thought that the soul should be saved for the platform phase, if not, when should i be using spells in the first 3 phases?||
You should also spoiler tag this message btw
But gg
||i would recommend using spells in second phase (spiked floor), save soul on phase 1 and once phase 2 starts u should be looking for opportunities to abyss shriek. On an actual p5 attempt u can also carry over soul from pv to get two free shrieks right off the bat. U want to get through phase 2 relatively quickly because it is easy to make mistakes in that phase, so it’s preferable to use some of ur soul to get through that phase quicker rather than using a lot of ur soul for healing.||
oh dude thanks thats actually super smart then i can build soul in phase 3
appreciate it
how do i get 2400 ||essence||
I hate ||delicate flower so much||
Bosses
||
What does Dreamgate do exactly?||
i alr did all of them
They let u set a point u can teleport to
i have 1800
Then trees
theres like one left
U didnt do all of the bosses
oh right
||Well preferably u will have a good amount of soul stored up for plats, and getting through phase 2 quicker with shrieks helps with that since compared to healing, which ull need 66 soul for each double dmg u take, compared to only a maximum of like 4 shrieks to end the phase with each shriek costing 33 soul, u can clearly see which one is more soul efficient in the long run||
yeah that makes sense tysm
i did do all the bosses theres no warrior graves left
oh u meant like lost ||kin and stuff||
||
What does Dreamgate do and what is this thing on my map right next to me||
||The thing on your map is where you placed your dreamgate. You can teleport to it by pressing dreamnail+up||
Yeah
||And you can only have one active at a time?||
Yes
Makes sense
how do i get down here
something you unlock later
the groudn shakes when i walk on it'
oh ok
you’ll know when you can go down there, it’s not subtle
||Try going further down in forgotten crossroads||
||i got charm shop ||
|| theres elavator but i cant go in
There’s a couple of options at the bottom of ||forgotten crossroads||, try them all
where is the other lamp thiny? i got the one towards the right but idk where the other one is
to the left
i checked but the was only another locked door and some soul
if you haven't gotten the one towards the left then there will still be a way there. Check again
oh nvm in stupid lol
delete this
you need to repost it with spoiler tags
RAH MOBILE FAILED TO SHOW THE SPOILER TAG
The bot would have gotten it if it weren't spoilered lol.
i did tho
yeah ik, mobile discord moment
||did he eat them?? will they return?||
No and no
no
Something I would add is that during ||platforms, only attack while she's finishing an attack. Similar to sly, where you need to wait for his 3 hit combo, you should either wait for Absrad's combo or ddark at the start.
Two of your hits were from trying to attack right before she started another attack, and one was from attacking in the middle of her attack.||
||Guys if i die and im not equipping any fragile charm do the charms break or not||
it wont
Thanks vro🙏
but it'll break if you die with them
Ew reddit
||i just knew that there're 4 endings||
||can i have them all on the same file or no||
Yes
it's literally the best place to find answers
alright thanks
btw where tf is ||godhome||?
and why is my ||white palace|| really small
||will it expand after i beat the hollow knight?||
||Waterways||
No
how do i pass this?
||I'm fighting Hornet for the second time, what should I bring?||
Do you use ||spells||?
i finally relearned the 1st phase 
||spell|| or nail build
||I use Shade Soul a lot, but unfortunately she can block attacks and my spells straight up don't do damage sometimes. Also the spikes she lays are annoying. 😭||
||Spell build but I don't know if that will work here, she can block spells.||
wat
||Shade soul is very good to clear the spikes. I would recommend
Shaman stone, soul catcher, long nail, or just replace the last 2 with soul eater||
And no she can't block them
???
she doesnt do that?
||dash||
||Maybe I'm tripping but I hear the blocking sound effect||
Maybe I'm tripping
then prolly ||cdash|| on the last part
i would say ||shamans and catcher then prob long nail||
||dash aint dashing||
its prolly jus sounds
Alright I'll try that
||Iirc the parry does trigger but the damage is real||
Makes sense
you need to ||dash|| in the perfect distance
||So long nail to deal with the spikes and sometimes I can use shade soul to clear them||
You're also stuck in ||white palace|| lol
||most of the advice I would've given has already been said. A few more things added and summed up:
- use spells more often
- don't try to deal damage while dodging an attack
- you can remove the floor spikes in second phase with a dive on them
- don't chase radiance too much in plats
- I recommend staying mainly on the top platforms in plats because it's easier to move around from there
- if you have saved up soul shriek at the beginning of final
For charms if you wanna change them the only real change I'd make if any would be twister instead of sbody and sprintmaster. Though if you like sbody you can also use grubsong instead of sprintmaster||
||dash|| in this spot
how do i fight ||absolute radiance||
||it's in royal waterways||
i dont mean with ||the 5th pantheon|| because i cant get to the end of it
it's the only way to fight her
yeh
or you can use mods
is there a mod for that?
||oh dang i guess i gotta grind
Do you mean ||normal radiance||?
||indeed
100% should
Oh, and if you have ||sharp shadow||, remove it
this part is designed for the normal ||dash||
no i mean ||absolute radiance|| i think normal ||radiance|| is too easy
Yeah, without doing ||p5||, you'd need cheats/mods
I want to do the succes where you need to speedrun hk in less than 20 hours do you have any advice ?
i relearned the first phase 
are you going for ||p5ab or just absrad ab?||
mainly just to have a rough plan on your route. For 20 hours that should be enough to beat it
i died, but i think i now remembered all her moves
okay, thanks
Oh, so the first phase is ||half her hp?||
yeh
does I need to avoid thing for being for faster ?
I wondered why it took so long
the 25-30% is her 2nd phase
isn't phase 2 more like 40%?
and there's somehow always 10-15% of helth left when you defeat her, ig thats for the ||shade lord|| thing
the ||desperation phase|| is so short
oh, so that part has health remaining? i thought it was just flavour
what is the best charm setup for ||p5||
what charm do you have
the goat: ||strength, quickslash, twister, shaman||
every single one
alr thank you
||quickslash, strength, shaman stone, steady body, nailmaster's glory is my go to||
i actually thought she dies at 0%, but twas 10 smth
there's still shitload of helth left
okay ill try both of the suggestions and see how i do
You want a mix of offense and defense
lemme do here without ||bindings|| rq
I use ||Strength, Quick Slash, Shaman Stone, and Quick Focus||
that's ||overcharming||
hi neat
tysm i appreciate the advice
ty!! the summary is super helpful i really appreciate it
if u do this setup u become ||overcharmed||
somehow killed her
also discovered smth weird
idk if its a thing but, she wont proceed to the next phase if you dont hit her with a nail
||You can only kill her with the nail, yes||
i mean even in 2nd phase
that's not true
she wont do the climb if i keep hitting her with ||spells||
fr?
she will
||sometimes she will start a sequence of attacks right before you deal enough damage for the next phase to start which leads to her staying in that phase to finish it first and only afterwards proceeding to the next one. This can seem like she stays in the phase for longer.||
what do you mean by this?
literally like what i said
she'd die with a bit of helth left
my theory about that is its for the ||shade lord|| thing
but now she died without any helth left so im confused af
she always does, yes
this seems like a bug
you mean based on the hp bar?
yeh
since it tracks my dmg n stuff
maybe the ||spells|| jus depleted all of it before the climb even started
yeah she isn't suddenly gonna gain ||200 hp. Either a mod caused a bug or the hp bar glitched out||
||damage doesn't transfer from plats to final||
but maybe the hp bar views it like that

what does this machine dov
probably
remember it and return to it later. There will be something there
also is there a boss in || fungal wastes||
yes
there?
it turns back time letting you go back to the places that'd get locked later 
-# jus kidding
||no, but you can just explore the area and will find new stuff and the boss eventually. Also I really recommend buying a quill and the compass in Dirtmouth for easier exploration||
is it worth dropping my geo here?
will do rn
||If you are afraid of dying twice with your geo||
She's corrupt
yes drop everything and you'll get it all back+50% more
does ||sharp shadow|| increase ||shadow dash|| range?
||Depends if you think you'll die enough that you'll lose a lot of Geo
You could put some Geo there and come back to the bank later when you need the Geo to buy something, that's what i did||
Yeah
Yes
eey tacocat!
Ello
dang, i had other ||charms|| i wanted to use for ||white palace|| but there's one part i cant do without it
wdym
there's a section you need to time normal length ||dashes|| in to get through some ||spear traps||
which one?
If you can't make a jump, try pogoing off of the ||spikes or saws|| and ||double jumping||
I believe it's about 3/4 of the way through
Everything there is designed to be doable charmless
oh, also, fun fact, if you ||die in white palace in steel soul, you die permanently||
@short dawn
||I don't really know if White Palace is a good place to use Sharp Shadow cus the increased range will throw you off||
There are a lot of other platforming sections in this game that i failed A LOT because i would just overshoot it, because i had ||Sharp Shadow|| equipped, and there were platforming parts that required normal ||Dash|| distance.
I did ||Path of Pain|| in my first playthrough without it equipped so you'll be fine without it
If you have it, there IS a charm I would recommend for your current goal
||Hiveblood||
||Just wait ten seconds after a failed attempt and you get the health back||
but yeah, platforming without ||sharp shadow||, that charm is used for combat
nowhere is a good place to use ||sharp shadow|| tbf, its just a bad charm
I beg to differ, it does some good work on melee bosses
there's one part with spikes going up and down or smth that i could do kinda easily with it but then i tried without it and now i cant get past there
||Sharp Shadow|| is only really good for some bosses and really bad for tight platforming like in ||White Palace||
I do equip it for exploring tho even if it only makes you a little bit faster
Tbh it's been too long since I've been to ||White Palace|| I don't know what you're talking about
But are you sure you need ||Sharp Shadow|| for it?
||What about C Dash or a short double jump if it's a tight area||
I use it for bosses that I can keep the pressure on with ||dashes||
not to mention that it makes ||pure vessel|| a LOT easier
||sharp shadow|| isnt optimal for any boss in hk
its just a waste of ||2 notches||
Tell that to ||Traitor Lord||
Well like Shif said it can be used to keep the pressure on with bosses
Except i can't do it cus i end up getting too cocky and dying anyway
But i DID get ||Traitor Lord|| to his 2nd phase pretty quickly with it like 2 times in a row before i stopped cus i was too frustrated by the trek to the boss lol
He has two phases?
its just useless since, ||dashing ||thru bosses actually cuts your dmg potential
optimally you really want to avoid ||dashing|| if you are close enough to deal damage
no
he starts doing a different attack if you get too far
but it isnt a different phase persay
I was just counting the first time that he uses those floor to ceiling wave attacks as the start of his 2nd phase
It IS like a 2nd phase right? He only started using those attacks when i did enough damage
its pretty random when that happens
if you go far enough, itll probably happen quicker
Oh so he can use those attacks at any time?
I get it now, the only reason he was using those attacks later on was because by then i was panicking from low health in the fight and trying to get away to heal instead of staying on him to constantly attack lol
im not 100% sure if it does have a certain activation point, but it should really be called a separate phase
if you do enough dmg, he only does it 0-1 times
But still i could tell i was doing a lot of damage with ||Sharp Shadow by dashing through his dashed instead of jumping or something||, and then immediately hitting him over and over with the ||nail or a spell||
If i had ||Quick Slash|| equipped i prolly would've killed him
the thing is ||sharp shadow ||does 1 nailhit worth of dmg, and takes longer than how long one nailhit with ||quick slash|| does, making it just straight up suboptimal for dmg
there is just no reason to use it, as it practically cuts your dmg
||I know
I don't use Sharp Shadow to do damage instead of the nail or something, it's just that Traitor Lord does his own dash attacks a TON and so dashing through his own dashes with Sharp Shadow is just to deal extra damage, while dodging him and still staying close to him. Rather than jumping or dashing away from his dashes||
use ||descending dark while he dashes||
or ||pogo|| ig
also works
i just cant stand it to see ppl praise it, since if you use it for ||pv||, itll give you so much trouble to get rid of it for ||absrad||
||Ik. I do use descending dark but it's not always an option because it uses soul, and sharp shadow doesn't||
you shouldnt be low on soul, the boss is literarly a giant hitbox to farm
||Sharp Shadow allows me to keep doing damage so that i always have just enough soul to do spells||
Yeah, ||Sharp Shadow|| just seems quicker to me
idk man, its just not optimal for any bossfight, but its not like this is some secret knowledge, anyone can tell you that that charm isnt optimal,even the praisers
its justa bad habit to pick up
Yeah that's why I've only used it for ||traitor lord|| and literally nothing else
I didn't say it was optimal for everything. I've only been talking about specifically the ||Traitor Lord|| fight
still isnt optimal for him
its optimal for none of them, including ||traitor lord||
Well it's useful enough in the fight for me so i use it
ok
Hey is anyone willing to help me beat the game please
In what sense
I don't think people can pick up the controller for you but yes this channel is for tips
Spoiler tag ||dream||
Sorry
And it seems you know what you need to do to get it
Is there a specific boss you need help with
I want to do the success where you need to 100% hk in less than 20 hours
what are the things to avoid for being faster
||Its honestly pretty easy if you know the map well so you dont have to spend time on being lost||
||I think i left out kingsoul, awoken dream nail and ascension at least, probably nkg and maybe grimm too||
Do you still get ||lifeblood|| in ||pantheon 5|| for doing the ||bindings|| on ||pantheons 1-4|| individually rather than all together
You still need to spoiler tag ||bindings||
||The requirements are the same for all pantheons, you dont have to do them at the same time||
i tried ||c dash|| and sure it might be possible but it was so much harder
hey, im trying to get : ||radiant on every boss and i was wondering what build should i use on every boss, does anyone knows if a list exists or anything||
@nova cobalt this is the part i cant do without ||sharp shadow||
W
Can someone explain this glitch
hey guys, a little help here pls, ||if i die in a pantheon, do i lose my fragile charm||?
?
Are you sending it
No
thanks
@short dawn did your message get deleted or something
I can't explain it, but quitting out solves it
||to get the pure completion achievement, do i need to get the 112% and then kill the hollow knight or can i kill the hollow knight and then get 112%?||
||Get 112 and then get any ending||
||what are the bindings for in the pantheon?||
How do I know I got 100% or not?
its not really known but the leading/most probable cause is: ||the game cleans things from an area after a fight (such as the swords), so its possible that radiance shot a sword after the game cleaned the objects, meaning it didnt get removed from the arena since the game believed all attacks were cleaned||
i forgot to send it lol but i beat it anyways
Oh ok lol good job
i got ||voidheart|| lets goo
||They are not required for any achievements or percentage, but there are two rooms that can only be unlocked by completing pantheons with bindings.
One is the lifeblood room, which requires 8 total bindings to unlock, and grants a small benefit in pantheons.
The other requires all 20 bindings. The bindings may be done individually.
Succeeding with 4 bindings at once just gives a unique glow.||
Yee
I completely forgot you even get that there lol
you get the second part of ||kingsoul||, you get ||voidheart|| in ||abyss||
imma beat ||the hollow knight|| again so that i can see the other ||endings|| and get the 100% completion throphy
||Oh i thought because you said you got voidheart right after you said you beat a oart of the white palace that it meant you got Voidheart in White Palace lol||
I did know that you get a hakf of the ||Kingsoul|| in the ||White Palace|| tho
I haven't been to ||White Palace|| yet in this playthrough i was gonna fo everything else first, i don't even have enough ||essence|| yet anyways, haven't fought any of the ||dream bosses|| yet to get a lot of it
Plus i still have ||Path of Pain|| ptsd
...why is the abbreviation of ||Path of Pain|| a spoiler too?
All abbreviations are
101% lets go
Hello everyone I just found something called the ||tram pass|| could someone tell me what it's for?
you can use it in ||tramways||
For moving the trams that you can find on the upper and lower part of the map
||Is that what that thing in the forgotten crossroads is?||
Okay cool, thank you both
is the screen cracking when you take damage a setting? cuz i don't think it shows up for me
oh boy oh boy
I already got it, but it should be clear
thanks
If we’re thinking of the same thing then that was the old effect before 1.3
||
I'm missing 5,000 geo to upgrade my fragile strength. What do you recommend? I don't feel like doing farming routes.||
trust on that guy
i lost 4.5k geo
😭
|| her shit just fell down||
||can i get my stuff back somehow||
yes
okk thanks
pls help
||kingdom edge is a good place fast but boring||
chat
what's the actual f~ck
||why's the hollow knight so damn easy???||
that's one of the worst fights ever
||i got this ending how to get the rest||
I only need 5000, I haven't done the ||3rd test of fools|| yet, I'm sure they'll give it to me, am I ready with this?
||dude farm the 2nd trail||
I am about in the same place as you and haven't done I tried like 2 times but failed pretty sure am over leveled
if the trail is hard for u or takes time consider farming||hoppers||
what is that? maybe is the translation because im playin on spanish
get the ||void heart|| charm and refight ||thk||
||the 2nd trail in colo||
how to get that? ||i saw a king idol in some tiktok video where can i find it?||
||and i suppose that's 1 ending so ig 2 left right||
what are ur charms currently
bro i dont know who is that sorry, can u explain me?
i have everything bruh
i was gathering to fight ||thk||
I didn't know it was that easy
go to the ||abyss|| with ||kingsoul|| equipped
||kingsoul||?
||is that a charm?||
didnt u have everything
max completion is 112%
wait ss is sending
||ye ig the endings count ye?||
then how to get the other 12% im pretty sure i have everything explored ||but my white palace is so small so idk maybe and i yet to find godhome||
@idle ingot
you haven't finished the ||white palace||?
one of the halves of ||kingsoul|| can be found there
it's a really small area so ig there's a door or something i thought when i defeat ||thk|| it'd open
its not a small area at all
ah
idk but when i explored i didn't see any path beyond
neither did i find a map
||white palace|| doesn't have a map
damn so how am i supposed to navigate 😭
is there a way ||to lose masks in godhome?||
||i want to use fury of the fallen on a few radiant fights||
you cant
only with mods
||there's a lamp like thing in white palace i turned it on, after that there's no where to go||
Does he know
fuck this place
i died like 6 times. trying to pass the first 3 parts
hell no
Go to the elevator
ye i saw a vid
gg
I'd win
||Pale king really thought that 100 saws and weird flying drones will protect him||
||drones???||
||oh ye bye bye other endings||
||Dw, they aren't primal aspids||
hell no i ain't holding 💔
Do you need spoiler?
Ok
He means a certain place in ||kingdoms edge|| where you fight a lot of enemies in a row to get a prize
Its at the top of it
It gib 2k per run
where do i go i got hornets speach and went back but nothig changed and idk where to go
Iirc to progress on that zone ||there is an easy to miss path if you jump from the elevator in the big room||
As a general rule, you'll want to check your map for unmapped paths
Here, however, there are a few enterable buildings
The way metroidvanias are set up, you'll want to explore everything you can, and take note of any areas you can't reach
When you get a new ability, check those areas
Just reached || Fog Cayon||
I dont have a map bc i just entered ckty of tears
|| is Wayyard compass and Soul Snatcher good for 3 places?||
WAT DO I DO THE DOOR TO GO TO FUNGUS LAND IS CLOSED AND THERES NO ESCAPE
||find a way out from the place you’re already in||
||wayward can be replaced with map knowledge and reasoning (number of doors, landmarks on map, room shape, etc)
Soul catcher is a fairly weak charm||
More than likely- this doesn’t matter because you don’t have other options anyways. Use what works for you and change your build if your feel like a boss or area would be easier with a specific ||charm||
|| Is there anything good in Fungal waste? ||
yes
|| and how do i get more notches for my charms?||
you’ll just find them as you explore
just, explore, explore, explore
the game is best played as blind as possible
I am having a lot of trouble with ||winged nosk|| anyone have any tips for that section of ||p5|| bc i either always die to him or ||sly|| right after
|| once I finish with the part I like started with and I go to the grass land does that mean I'm done with the first part? And what point do I get the map guy ||
There’s usually always reason to return to the area later in the game
|| what about the map guy||
just explore and you’ll find him
Oki
||can u get embrace the void achievement in godseeker mode||
||isn't there any cheese to the damn palace im actually suffering||
The ||compass|| is more so useful for finding where you are while exploring. It's not necessary
I'm almost certain there is a skip at some point
||i spent like half an hour opening 2 elevators man, how many r there||
||Winged Nosk is like the Vengefly King with a bigget hitbox. Pogo off of him when he swoops||
Wish I knew. I've not even set foot in there since the year Elden Ring came out
I just remember seeing a handy skip of some sort in a video
ah fair enough, thanks anyhow
||can i make the sealed sibling and the dream no more finals in the same playthrough?||
anyone know how to fix this?
Close and reopen the game is my guess
Yes
What do I do after beating the game? I just ||killed the hollow knight|| and reloaded my save after watching the credits, I did also see a video where ||it was during a boss fight and hornet held the boss down then you used the dream nail on the boss, but I never saw that boss, is that dlc or a extra ending?||
the only ending you can get locked out of is ||the hollow knight ending. obtaining voidheart makes every other ending possible, but the hollow knight ending can only be triggered without having voidheart||
Continue the ||seer|| ||esscense quest||
Explore ||more of the map and place value on getting essence||
Your goals:||
-A way deeper into ancient basin
-west of fog canyon..?
-acid resistance ability?
-fighting any and all bosses
-mapping out **as much of the map as possible (**the stag will let you know if you’ve found every stag station)||
This is everywhere I’ve been
I’m at 65% completion it says
||I COMPLETED THE PALACE LETS GOO||
||Completion is based off of charms, abilities, and permanent upgrades, as well as bosses and some quests||
||now what does the charm do other than a new ending?||
||4 new endings : )||
that's it?
wait
how 4
doesn't it unlock only one
anyhow don't spoil I'll figure it out
does it do anything else tho?
It’s|| un-unequipable and has large story significance. It has no effect in gameplay||
Oh ||wait no - not that charm||
||so u're telling me i have to have 5 notches taken away all the time?||
@tame trout ||equip the new charm and take it to the abyss - you may remember hornet mentioning something like this||
You will ||not receive a notch debuff||
||to hornet room?||
im doing ||ngk|| on mobile, should i get ||last nail upgrade||!?
Every ||mask|| too
i did it
||are u sure i didn't lose any endings with this?||
||cuz someone said i should fight thk with kingsoul or wtv ||
||did u fight thk normally without void heart?||
Okay then u r fine
The fight is the same except a minor difference at the end
||btw how to go there i yet to find a way||
bruh
tbh they did him bad he's absolutely ass💔
Well the difference is pretty important but it doesn’t seem like much at first glance
Well you see the thing is, i got to like the last phase, like multiple times but because i panicked a lot i keep on dying
Wasn't too fast to edit the message
Rip
If you did|| one ending before then no.
If you didn’t, it’s fine because it’s the easiest ending to get and will be what you aim for on other saves (for speedrun achievements and such)||
even if u edit it'd get deleted
But I'll just get the ||nail upgrade||
Oh, that's a cool system though
||i did get an ending where i replaced him||
fr sometimes annoying af
anyone knows how to enter this place?
Also how many stagger points does he have god damn
i got him to like 5 stagger points and he still haven't died
||you need to collect essence||
how many
i have like 2100 or something
I don't even know how to get more
||staggers don't depend on hp. They depend on hits and combos. So how many staggers it takes varies depending on your spell usage, your comboing and your nail/spell damage. So there is no set amount||
||1800 .You should collect the rewards if you haven't yet||
Oh so its just because i need to upgrade the ||nail||
?
there's nothing below there
hi Pankreas 
what're these pillars thn
a detail
one day I won't get ghosted 
I mean sure, the hardest ||pale ore|| is the one where you have to find like all the green worms or whatever
video is by anika
clutch ty
Also is there a way I can deliver the ||flower|| without having to run into like 100 different enemies
i beat him in ||hog 3 times in a row but for some reason in pantheons it was getting me||
unlucky. I'm sure you'll get it soon
||ok so now i got the hornet ending and when i dnail him i get the radiance, how to get the 4th ending?||
4th and 5th are both in ||royal waterways and take a lot more practice||
||i saw a vid on yt, put a dgate near the lady then choose a path, go kill all the enemies in ur way when use ur nail to go back to the gate and enemies won't be there||
where at tho
oh
||u mean the pantheons?||
yes
you don't need to do them if you find them too difficult
a ||dgate|| ?
||I can't even defeat the radiance||
|| dream gate||
are you sure this isn't spoiling them?
I dont know what's that is but I'll try searching it up, thank you btw
next time please make sure to check by asking to see their inventory
||well i assumed he has it since the flower thing is a late game quest as far as i know.. i don't even know where to start it||
does anyone know how often holllow knight goes on sal
alr i will
||how to beat radiance 💔||
guys i can't deal damage with my stinger what do i do?
a video of this bug below
i died like 4 times now
BEOO
NVM I KILLED HIM LOL
heh, am i goat..?
what is the chances i actually beat || the hollow knight || first try on my first playthrough of the game
If you played similar games like hk then maybe
You can always look at guides before any boss but i think it'll spoil you
How early on can i get the ||desolate slam spell||? After ||greenpath|| and ||fungal wastes||?
Yuh
Were do you get the worm marker from?
||Tower of Love||
kk
can u also answer my previous questino if u can?
Ey
no need for a CER essay
ty
Well you can only get ||Desolate Dive|| after Beating ||Soul Master|| and he's in ||City of Tears||
And you can only get there with the ||Mantis Claw|| in ||Fungal Wastes||
kk
tys
Ur welc
Also can someone answer this
If there's like a breakable wall somewhere can someone circle where it is
||its somewhere around the middle of the room directly left of the icon||
||breakable wall yeah||
I thought it might be there
Thx
I remember asking this exact same question like 3 years ago when i first played the game lol
Seeing her here does that mean it’s too late to save her?
No
Does it matter if I listen to her
The latter
Oh Alr so I’m chill
please help
||Does the transition from Pure Vessel to Absolute Radiance in P5 heal you? Does it heal Lifeblood Masks? Does it refill your Soul?||
Just ||heal you to max, but not remove lifeblood or give soul||
Indeed
||well hello, i Just finished the game for the first time. how can i kill the other bosses? (the only end i did was killing the hollow knight)||
Does he know? 
||I got all 3 dreamers anything I should have achieved or do before fighting the hollow knight||
||Defeat the hollow knight for get a ending, next get void heart for another 2 endings||
Not really, just go in, if ||he's too hard you can just get better gear and go back. You can do the rest of the game later||
how do i get ||dream no more?||
kill ||radiance|| iirc
||the game save before fighting THK, so you can replay the same save file for other endings||
yoo
guys a underrrated charm setup for grim troupe ( i found 1 but still tell)
2nd try grim troupe with that build ngl
what?
||Help with Absrad?||
With what exactly
What have you tried to do, or haven't tried to do
If you want I have some video examples of strats
Although since they were not made for the purpose of teaching, some are pretty advanced
Ah, that's all about controlling yourself
First phase mostly easy
At the beginning, she ||will do more random attacks due to you being far away, so you want to wait until a beam is telegraphed, for you to jump, to the next platform, as long as it's not on it ofc||
Platforms is also decent but sometimes I can’t find ||Shriek Windows||
The closer you get the more likely the beam is on you, so just keep moving
||I think I have some good shrieks in AB||
Try to save as max as possible
Rain phase is completely free
Just don't|| shriek on it||
But you want to balance healing
So I'd heal ||3 or 4 masks depending on how low you are||
||https://youtu.be/rgflE2hsyDI|| also, I uploaded this, which focuses on ||ddark windows, which are arguably stronger than shriek in plats||
Absolute Radiance Radiant with old nail and descending dark only
My goal with this is to show different ways you can use descending dark in AbsRad, as it is a powerful tool most begginers don't use.
Most of this dodges like orbs are high skill, but the idea behind the descending darks, mainly for spikes and plat phase, are important.
Good luck!
True ig
Also this other one has some very consistent starts, although a mistake
Ehh I mostly don’t take damage there
Also, this is Dyrati's tips
Ah perfect, go full then
I either take 0 or 1 hit
Some very good strategies
||I’ve been practicing on Rad because I hate myself||
Nah just kidding I just thought it would speed up my progress
And honestly it’s working
Also, ||climb is the same for any challenge lol, so all 3 have a climb you can see||
Mostly die to the climb
Or Plats
I should probably do a ||Nail 0 white spells quick slash and SB only as reference||
Although I know I'll go for hard strats unconsciously 
Still, I gave you my videos, also Dyrati's tip list
dyrati's tips are alr summarized and easy to understand too
As I said, this is all just practice, watch videos to see how others do it
Indeed
Yeah I’ll watch
Wait sorry
||Next Markoth||
||I have him nailed down mostly but yk more tips would help yeah||
tbh that whole fight is 90% dodging
just focus on your surroundings and play it safe as much as possible
Yes, only go for hits when he's either above the top plats, or doing the ||shield spin||
This is Dyrati's guide
I'm so glad my guides are being used 
You are inspirational
||I beat the game for the first time and got the ending where I took in the infection and got sealed what should i do now||
start grinding those ||essence||
i recommend revisiting areas where you defeated main bosses
where is the modinstaller pack?
one hint: ||soul master||
yea but i cant find the installer
I dont think you checked that channel then
||already got max essence||
do you have ||kingsoul||?
Nope
explore ||queen's garden|| then
Oh wait i do ||only one half tho||
