oops, typo

#

i have 1800 atm

#

What does this site tell you

radiant raft
#

Double check ||Stag nest||

merry lotus
#

Is it possible to use that site if you have an Xbox save

acoustic sigil
#

I think so

#

The save location will be different though

merry lotus
#

I don't know how to do it

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

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

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

Important paths

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

Lumafly

Lumafly (formerly known as Scarab+) is a mod installer for 1.5 based on Scarab, but updated based on community feedback to fix problems that commonly occur in Scarab, as well as adding additional features.

Download it from here

i have lumafly, is it just a mod called debug?

acoustic sigil
#

Debug or DebugMod something like that

oblique jetty
#

merry lotus
acoustic sigil
#

Oh you mean that kind of xbox save

#

No you can't use such a thing for consoles

#

Since you can't really extract the save file

merry lotus
#

Damn 💔

#

That's annoying

oblique jetty
#

awesome, it worked

gleaming wind
#

uh guyqs

livid shoal
#

Spoiler tag that

gleaming wind
#

oh how and why?

livid shoal
#

?tag spoilers

Piss

🔹 Ensure Discord’s spoiler tagging is used around spoilers (People, Places, and Things should be spoiler tagged!! if you are confused, please see the pins for what is allowed ).
We do this to be considerate of multiple conversations taking place. Two vertical bars on either side of text will tag it as a spoiler - ||This is a spoiler.|| > ||This is a spoiler.|| Alternatively, adding /spoiler at the start of a message will tag it.

🔹 If you have sent an untagged message, you must either edit it to include spoiler tags or delete it.

gleaming wind
#

just deleted it

livid shoal
#

Why'd it send so late

gleaming wind
#

oh

#

let me test it

#

wait

languid vale
#

any advice for || p3? (mainly sly)||

gleaming wind
#

dawg i dont have any vertical bars on my screen

#

oh

#

there is a second way

inner robin
#

every keyboard has the verticle bars but yeah there's also the /spoiler way

gleaming wind
#

is it spoilered?

inner robin
#

no

gleaming wind
#

bruh

inner robin
#

it has to be at the very start of the message

gleaming wind
#

oh ight

gleaming wind

🔹 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.

gleaming wind
#

no i meant like charms for the one in the shop

merry lotus
gleaming wind
#

||also ive yet to be in the hive but i did get the 3 dreamers||

merry lotus

drowsy yarrow
gleaming wind
#

||yo btw can you get to grimm troup or the godhome without buying the dlc?||

#

forgot the spoiler

inner robin
#

To answer that, there is no purchasing of dlc in hk

gleaming wind
#

there is a dlc tho

inner robin
#

Not really, they’re just free updates

gleaming wind
#

so you can get them to them without paying?

#

i am confused

inner robin
#

You don’t pay for dlc it’s just there already

gleaming wind
#

oh ight

#

||then when do you unlock/ where do you unlock grimm tho since i do want that unbreakable strength||

inner robin
#

Calling it that confuses people but really it’s just large free updates that came out

gleaming wind
#

||but first i need to beat the hollow knight ig||

drowsy yarrow
keen stream
gleaming wind
#

really?

#

||also its mostly for the unbreakable strength charm||

inner robin
# gleaming wind really?

All the dlc is integrated into the base game well, you’ve likely already come across at least a part of it. Nothing is locked behind credits

||considering you have spell twister on, i’d recommend maybe putting shaman stone on (swap out longnail and compass) (if you’re comfortable with using spells). if you’re better with nail, you could probably swap twister and compass for quick slash.||
||staying close to him also helps if you just need a general tip, he can’t do one of his attacks unless you get too far away.||

urban raven
#

How do I get the ||Nailmaster's glory|| charm?
It's one of the only charms left in the game for me. I kinda gave up and watched some tutorials but things aren't adding up as far I can see.
I understand that ||I meet the requirements, and have all 3 nail arts. But whenever I go meet sly, this is the only thing he says.||

Is it a glitch, or am I missing something?

nova cobalt
#

Have you rested on a bench and came back?

urban raven
#

Yep, multiple times :/

nova cobalt
urban raven
#

yes

nova cobalt
#

And have you closed the game and reloaded

urban raven
#

Pretty much! ||I've had the nail upgrades for a long time now, even defeated the Hollow Knight and got to one ending. Is there a time window or anything of that sort?||

nova cobalt
#

I don't know if there's a time window, I'm not really an expert on this

#

But it'd be weird if there was

urban raven
#

Fair, thanks though

How do I get to the last || Dreamer,the one in deepnest||

I'm at where I need to go

#

I think there is a secret wall but idk where

#

Nvm found it

dawn grove
#

Even though I can consistently beat ||PV||, I'm not sure how its AI works. Is it random? Does it use a specific attack at specific times based on the player's position or something similar? I know that it ||jumps if you pogo it too much||, but that's pretty much it
Is there anywhere I can learn more about bosses' AI?

U can go with smth like mop + twister, or if u r willing to risk breaking ur strength (or u can go make it unbreakable), u can go for strength + twister instead. If u think u r gonna get hit often and have to heal, u can replace twister with soul catcher. Ofc u can also consider heal charms like qf and shape of unn but i would recommend going dps over healing||

Guys about ||P5||. What charms do you recommend?. ||I usually running Unb.Strenght, Quickslash, mainly and the other 2 is either Shaman stone and Longnail, or Mark of pride and either Sharp shadow or soul catcher.|| These are carried me over all 4 ||Pantheons|| and never even used orher charms. But now i saw people use ||Quick Focus and deep Focus at the end of the fight against Pure vessel and Abs Rad. ||

# wary ember Guys about ||P5||. What charms do you recommend?. ||I usually running Unb.Streng...

||honestly strength + qs + shaman stone + whatever u want is enough for pv and abs rad, i mean u can use qf + df combo but that comes at the cost of significantly reducing ur dps and prolonging both fights by quite a bit. ofc the main focus of qf + df is obviously healing so dps is not really considered when u use that kind of build but it is smth to keep in mind. and its not a foolproof combo as well, u can still die if u get comboed too quickly and cant get enough heals in||

Ooooooooooh.|| I tried that but it feels really awkward to hold down a button and fighting at the same time so i never even bothered with it anymore. The only place i use Nail arts is against No eyes.||

# tawny sapphire You should be using them way more often

Im not that good yet 😄 Im still struggling reacting to the moves of some bosses and the platforming without falling down during bossfights 😄 Maybe i get to the level one day when i comfortably use ||Nail arts|| in some boss fights other than ||no eyes|| 😄

||anyways just activated grimm troupe quest so nice||

#

mostly i just want to jump the final boss

deft fiber
#

how do i improve my reaction times in order to beat ||pure vessel||
keep in mind i have an xbox one controller in rough shape and i'm 30+ years old

gleaming wind
#

oh well practice does perfect

#

just keep trying and if you cant beat it then find a youtube video on it

deft fiber
#

i've seen the videos, know all his attacks and have beat ||NKG, the corrupted mantis, everything except radiance||
just dont know how i can fight him since he has such short windups and is all business all the time

#

do i need to get an adderal script or something

gleaming wind
#

lmfao

#

i dont know to be honest

#

i myself have not beaten him

#

but if you feel frustrated maybe take a break?

#

enjoy like a mango shake or something if you have that at home

Save Files

What do save files looks like?

  • Each Hollow Knight save file is a user#.dat where # is the save slot for the file
  • You can rename user3.dat to user1.dat to set it to your first save slot
  • You can keep a copy of all of your save files by copy and pasting them into a different folder on your computer

Reverting Backups

  • Automatic backups are called user#.dat.bak#, where the first # is the save slot, and the second # is the backup number. You will usually have your last three backups
  • You restore a backup by deleting the main file, and then removing the .bak# part of the backup version

Modded Saves

  • A modded save may also have a user#.modded.json (and similarly named backup). This file and the user#.dat are part of the save

Where are the files?

  • On windows, the default path for Save Files is:
    • %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
    • You should just copy and paste that path directly into the File Explorer path bar at the top.
  • For other operating systems (and Xbox Games), type ?tag saves into chat

I need a specific type of save file

Editing save files

  • MoreSaves: With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the Menu, by going to Options > Mods > MoreSaves
  • QoL: Opening a save with QOL installed will create an extra save file called user#.json, which can be edited using Notepad or a similar text editor
  • DebugMod: While not an intended purpose, you can edit some parts of your save file using Debug, such as Nail Damage, and those changes will remain even after uninstalling the mod
  • Website: https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/

# grave wolf Uhh ||white defender|| and soul||tyrant.|| And probably ||pure vessel.||But i ha...

For ||White Defender|| if you have either ||longnail or MoP|| equipped you can just hit him when he throws the balls without getting hit. If you don't have extra range just move slightly back every time he throws the balls and keep hitting him. You can use ||abyss shriek to destroy his balls when he jumps up from the ground.|| Additionally, during his 2nd phase go to the last place he jumped up from to avoid him because he can't jump up from the same place twice
As for ||Soul Tyrant, what do you struggle with?||

gleaming wind
#

i am not patient right now

grave wolf
#

For ||white defender|| i just keep ramming into him by accident. And hes just way to fast for me

#

But im getting used to him.

I didnt have enough soul and i died 💔💔

#

To who?

grave wolf
#

I was about to get to ||soul tyrant|| but the ||watcher knights|| obliterated me

#

O

#

They obliterated me so brutally like 40 times in ||city of tears|| that they're easy now

grave wolf
#

I was trying to ||desolate dive so i could be invincible|| but realized i didnt have any soul and died

#

Lmao

dawn grove
#

They were my first canon event

#

Practise them on ||ascended||

grave wolf
#

Theyre pretty easy but they gang up on me while im trying to heal xd

dawn grove
#

You only heal when there's none actively attacking

#

Don't heal while they're after you

grave wolf
#

I see

kind holly
#

Just dont heal at all

#

Not worth

#

You lose more health than you gain

dawn grove
#

Heal after you beat them for the next boss

kind holly
#

Fr

dawn grove
#

Or heal when there's only one ||watcher knight|| left

#

Easy to heal there

kind holly
#

Yes

#

And free soul if you have ||dream nail||

dawn grove
#

I ||cyclone slash|| them instead tbh

#

When they spawn

grave wolf
#

Whens a good time to ||dreamnail|| them

dawn grove
#

When they spawn

grave wolf
#

I see

dawn grove
#

But personally I prefer to ||cyclone slash|| them during their spawning animation

grave wolf
#

How much damage does it do again if you have ||pure nail||

#

Im literally about to die again

#

Oops

dawn grove
#

Each hit from ||cyclone slash|| does 26 damage

#

And ||cyclone slash|| hits between 3 and 6 times

#

Meaning

grave wolf
#

I hate ||white defender|| sometimes

dawn grove
#

78-156 damage

grave wolf
#

Maybe i should try to use it more often

dawn grove
#

Potentially more than ||abyss shriek with shaman stone||

grave wolf
#

Im literally just spamming my nail xd

simple island
dawn grove
grave wolf
#

Is it useful againt ||no eyes||n she keeps teleporting away

dawn grove
#

Each hit is 1.25x the ||nail|| you have

#

So, 26.25

dawn grove
grave wolf
#

I see

simple island
# grave wolf Dang

well just count in amount of ||nail hit, a cyclone hit is 1.25 a normal hit, not factoring in the 1.5 buff from strength
So, it isn't that strong compared to just quick slash and strenght||

kind holly
dawn grove
#

I usually use ||cyclone slash|| at the start of fights

simple island
# dawn grove So, 26.25

but is the rounding correct ? i dunno if it is to the nearest natural
probably is but I remember it being weirder

dawn grove
#

It instantly ||staggers Hornet 1||

grave wolf
#

||lost kin|| is so confusing sometimes 💔💔

#

Sometimes i can no hit and sometimes he just kills me

#

You need to be able to beat those bosses consistently before trying ||p4||

#

Practise in ||godhome||
