Lol.
Is this who i think it is ?
Who else would it be ?
Yes
yahh bro
i hope not, you cant know for sure
I need help progressing I just beat the || dung defender|| but I can’t find anything to do anywhere especially in ||deepnest||
||after dung defender you can go to ancient basin (new area) or fully explore royal waterways - after beating dung defender and hitting the switch it unlocks more areas in waterways. in terms of deepnest, explore the whole area and you'll find stuff to do||
Thanks
also dont go to ||deepnest ||yet until u have the|| lumafly lantern from Sly||
How to kill ||watcher knights||?
||im ngl this is a difficult fight, so if ur struggling u shud try to upgrade your gear||
You should make sure you have ||upgraded your nail 2 times or more that would be useful|| and that you also have ||shade cloak||
How do you make a route for a speedrun?
#speedrunning , unless you mean the achievement?
If youre experienced and knowing yes, but if its your second playtrough or similar it may be very difficult without planning any route of sorts
Does anyone have any advice/builds for ||Trial of the Fool? Currently have Quick Focus, Grubsong, Mark of Pride and Quick Slash||
||thorns of agony is another good one||
What is this?
Youll find out lol
Thanks for the enlightening response.
Anything but that actually, youre better off not using it than doing so
It worked for me 🤷
Its probably placebo
it actively held you back, you just dont know it
yeah i thought so too when i started
||its damage output is miserable and it removes iframes from when you get hit||
Yeah thats what we call placebo
||that symbol is a marker for the Black Egg Temple the area where you fight the Hollow Knight and, if you have the voidheart charm, the Radiance||
||its even shaped like THK's head||
yo guys is there any hollow knight mod that i can use to make the || charm notches || amount increase or be unlimited?
||https://themulhima.github.io/Lumafly/commands/download/?mods=DebugCharms|| id guess that this works
||https://themulhima.github.io/Lumafly/commands/download/?mods=InfiniteNotches|| this1 just does exactly what ou asked for
Switched out ||Quick Slash for Shaman Stone; is that a good call? Figured it'd be nice to have for the section without a floor||
id advise to use both, but if you feel like you cant get rid of ||quick focus or mark of pride||, thats also understandable
what should i focus on next in my ||steelsoul save||? when i last left off i had gotten the ||Shade Cloak and Abyss Shriek.||
I say ||get as much Upgrades for your nail as you can and get the charms you want||
If you already did that then you should try focusing on the hard boss or even try getting ||Void Heart||
im still on the fence of whether i should go for the ||Dream No More ending|| tho. I dont wanna lose my save in|| the white palace or the radiance fight||
If that's the case and you just wanna get the ||normal ending||
Then I say you should get as much ||pale ore|| and ||mask|| as you can and then go for the ||dreamers||
im struggling on ||p3 all bindings|| man i cant evven get past ||the collector|| this shit is hardddddddddd
any advice?
||for p3ab collector, charge up a nail art before every wave and once the jars start falling, use an extended cyclone slash on the nearest add and try to move around to hit the other adds. the reason cyclone slash is so good against p3ab collector is because each cyclone slash hit is just enough damage to one shot any of the adds that collector spawns, unlike with regular nail swings in which ull need two swings for the aspid hunters and baldurs. most of the time ull be able to get 2 of the 3 adds per wave, but if the adds spawn close enough (which is the ideal situation) u can kill all 3 adds with one cyclone slash||
||if the third add spawns far away and u coudnt kill it with the cyclone slash, u can either use a spell if u have the soul, kill it with regular nail swings, or charge another nart to kill it with a great slash or dash slash. if u have full soul after a wave u should abyss shriek as collector jumps over u for the damage. ||
||also on each stagger u should be taking the opportunity to dreamnail the collector for soul since soul is quite tight in this fight. on the stagger, u can either get off a dreamnail + heal, or dreamnail + 2 nails hits (to wake the collector up from its stagger) + shriek (when collector jumps above u)||
oh cool
thanks :3
i think ||uumuu and sly|| are in this one too i struggled with them when i tried to do this previously
any advice for them?
||for uumuu its just a waiting game, since ur hp isnt that high u want to be as consistent as possible rather than trying to go for maximum damage.||
||for uumuu's electricity chase attack, this one is rather easy to deal with, u just gotta keep moving around and not stop. for uumuu's full screen attack, u want to stay near the two bottom platforms on the right and left side since those are always safe spots, along with the bottom middle platform since depending on the way the electricity is spawned, one of the sides of that platform is always gauranteed to be safe||
||then once u see a safe opening (ideally in between uumuu's attacks, since it could be risky to hit / lure the ooma into uumuu while dodging an attack), u should go for the stagger and hit the ooma into uumuu||
||for ab sly, i like to use narts on him, every attack of his has an opening afterwards for u to get one retaliatory nart or spell, just rinse and repeat until frenzy phase.||
||godhome Uumuu ||is such a pain in the ass
||on frenzy phase u should be using a mixture of spells and great slash. if u have full soul, u can use a shade soul, and at the right timing, u have a good chance of getting a multihit. if not, u should use a great slash instead||
also make sure you stay near the bottom of the arena

Another route or entrance
where is it bro ?
can u show me
send me a link of video in my dm ?
No but the entrance should be around ||Kingdoms Edge around the Hive||
I can’t really show you since it’s like 1 am for me
go back to the entrance of the ||hive|| and go up instead of inside. then find your way out of the darker bit and right before the room transitions there should be a secret (might be a ||breakable floor|| i forget)
can u send a video to me
or tell me what should i search for these ?
you should stop pinging them if theyre saying its late and they arent available
you can look this stuff up online
or just look around
man , my bad
dont have a video for u but this should give u a rough idea of where to find it
oh ho achow my bud
he is always here for help
@stoic cedar thanks for helping me all the time man
founded
Can someone tell me whag i need to do to open ||p3||?
||Galien, a dream warrior in deepnest||
||u need to defeat the two bosses that are greyed out. r u looking for hints on where to find them?||
and i believe|| Elder Hu||
||no way i didnt get all bosses hahah||
yes please
@stoic cedar is this spoiler for me ?
||fungal wastes and deepnest||
thx a lot!
based on what i know about ur progress, probably
||in my head i was already done eith everything exept godhome no way i missed sth||
can i dm u ?
no
@stoic cedar bro u would nt believe what happened
i just defeated hollow knight in my 3rd try
Ggs
Sure, u can do that yea
much more to do, much more to explore
||i need help with radiant grimm i wanna ask for some recommended charms (have every charm!)||
any suggestions?
im gonna keep trying different charms until someone helps me
My guy it has been two minutes
this is what im using the most
?
Try ||strength, shamans, quick slash, nail masters glory and long nail||
ok thx for the suggestions
hey can i try ||mark of pride instead of long nail bcuz idk if the reason u didnt choose mark of pride is bcuz it has a downside in the fight||
Oh yeah that’s what I meant
oh ok
wait what am is the ||nail master's glory|| gonna do? im focusing on faster damage i dont use ||nail arts|| that much
||I am at kingdoms edge
Is the farm Colosseum or the long path with small jump fly insects ||
I mixed it up with another boss ditch ||nail masters glory||
oh ok can i replace it with ||sprintmaster?||
||sprintmaster is not that good for fighting, probably go with grubsong||
||any tips for hornet 2 ?||
i think im gonna go for the ||Dream No More ending|| on my ||steelsoul save||
||not for the fight but theres a bench close its above the sign with the bench pointing up||
Yep got that spot
||hornets telegraphs are pretty obvious most of the time just jump up pre emptively kinda cuz all she does is either run at you or not other wise she jumps up then at you which should be an easy dodge, if u really wanna and u have the hp, dmg, runes, u can damage tank her but heal during the staggers and watch out when she parries||
||also u can break the spikes she throws around||
||grubsong is definitely not gonna help its a radiant mode so i get one shot from any damage so i must not have any mistake grubsong only gives a person soul once damaged if i get damaged even once i die||
ok bro just say its ||radiant||
can you screenshot me ur charms js incase u need charms for ||hornet 2||
i did in the beginning
so u got any replacements?
||steady body||
||don't really have enough soul to use spells
Barely alive until her spikes which kills me very quickly||
||spell build is not really the best against hornet ima be honest its more about getting in attacks||
||definitely replace spell eater||
||the one that gets soul||
Then what about the spikes
||u can hit the spikes|| u prolly want ||mark of pride||
use ||mark of pride so u can keep your distance and hit spikes, steady body (optional), quick slash for more dps, sprintmaster(optional it rlly helped me dodge her dash attack), and you would probably want quick heal when she uses the needle throw thing go far from the needle radius and heal||
and again some of these are optional
😮
thank you for that suggestion ||i can finally hit grimm through the red spike without being knocked||
||when does hornet 2 start using spikes ?||
At like 70% health or about
||somewhere around her phase 2||
really ?!
😶
||how does dark spirit with shaman stone damage compare to coiled nail ?||
||definitely more dmg than coiled nail. shamastone is broken||
||where to go after completing kindoms edge and how to?
Also i will open tower of love later ? A door needs key ||
||also is there a back area to Colosseum of fools ?||
||Shade soul with shamans does about 2,3 times the damage of coiled nail
||
holy crap. i almost died to ||Traitor Lord in my steelsoul save||
||You'll find the way to open it eventually||
i need to learn to be less cocky when going into fights
||where to go after completing kindoms edge and how to?
||
what bosses did you fight here?
||hornet 2?||
so remember a place where you saw something that looks the ||king's brand|| you picked up after defeating her, and go to it
||i was thinking of that ..... But forgot when the ceiling collapsed
Ancient basin ?||
||when should i do Colosseum 2nd challenge, i barely survived the 1st||
do a few tries, and if you keep dying change your charms or go back when you got some upgrades
||imma js do grimm radiant mode later|| and does anybody have charm suggestions for ||pantheon 3 and pantheon 3 nail binding||
||shaman, eater, spell twist|| is an okay buil
||you mostly wanna focus on spells||
hhow abt js normal ||pantheon 3?||
Idk
ok
Depends ur playstyle
||for p3 with nail binding, smth like strength, shaman stone, quick slash, and spell twister should do quite well. note that if u want to change around this build, i would recommend keeping in strength or else u wont be able to one shot the aspid hunters and the baldurs with a normal nail swing in collector, and u also wont be able to one shot the zotelings in gpz, which will make both of those fights much more annoying to do||
||and honestly i would recommend the exact same build for regular p3 as well||
||this is most likely in reference to hopper farming, which occurs near the bottom of kingdoms edge on the path towards oro's hut||
||this is the backside of the colosseum, u r watching someone else fight in colo rn||
like not literally someone else
but in-universe
its some other bug fighting in there
or maybe it is doing ||colo2|| several times (~16 times)
I am so bad at it
I don't understand how they time something like that which varies on individual skill
..
its not exact timing, but this is the most optimal geo farm with max equipement (i think ||colo2|| takes on average 6-8 minutes (source: none), which is pretty good) also note that ||greed|| doesnt affect the amount of geo you get
hmm ||i dont think the msg would recommend to equip greed if they were referring to colo2, since greed doesnt affect the geo reward from colo||
yes youre right
Oh yes.... You are correct
hi y’all how do I leave ||beast’s den||
||where r u in beasts den rn?||
where || hera the beast was||
||from herrah, just keep going left and down until u cant anymore||
Is this setup good ?
yep this is good
hi again! how do I get to ||queens gardens|| from the ||mask makers room?|| I know I have to break a plank but can’t find the specific one lol
||Here’s what the layout of the room looks like without the darkness, I believe it’s the plank I circled in red but I’m not 100% sure||
wait did I not spoiler it or is discord acting weird
re-sent it with spoiler tags because I think the previous version didn't have them:
guys i just got the|| pure nail||. should i do ||what the nailsmith asks or should i spare him||?
||any actual use of geo after divine and buying off sly, salubra and cornifers wife ?
Im thinking of doing the mini quest of banker to get more money
Because if no use for money no use for bank ||
||in ancient basin there's a well that will give you a vessel fragment if you give it 3000 geo. it doesnt even have to be all at once.||
||you can't miss it it looks like the Pale King||
Yea i used ||wanderer jounal etc to buy out all of that
I just accumulated a lot of geo back then without farming||
hmmm well i dont think there's any other use besides the|| nail upgrades||
||Is the last one 4 k ? Also is that one pale ore in colo2 the only way to get it ?||
u already got 2 other|| pale ore? and yes the last one is 4k geo||
I have 1
how many|| nail upgrades ||you got?
•||i have coiled
And should i use all the seals now ?||
||ok to upgrade the coiled nail into the pure nail you need 2 more pale ore. which pale ores did you get so far?||
I don't really know.....
||have yet to go to ancient basin door with kings mark||
||https://hollowknight.fandom.com/wiki/Pale_Ore|| here's a link to the wiki that has the locations of all the ||pale ore|| if u want to see
I don't really need it now
I will encounter it along the way
The only reason I asked is because i wanted to know if the last one you can only get by ||colo2||
||there is one pale ore in the second trial of the colosseum but you said you only have one right now right?||
Ye
Did i miss it ? I explored thoroughly any available area ...
I assumed ill get 2nd later in later area
did you get the one in|| Hallownest's Crown?||
I'll check
||is it like....on the statue ? I think yes||
||yeah there's on embedded in a statue of the radiance that you get to by going through the crystal peaks and going upwards||
I have i think if it's not extremely hidden
I have went there
Statue
there's also one in ||Ancient Basin being guarded by 2 lesser mawleks||
||ah it's the grub one||
My bad i should have checked earlier on the site you sent
ah yeah that one needs|| 31 rescued grubs||
||have you beaten the collector yet and gotten his map?||
||so there is a boss called the Collector located in the Tower of Love. you need a love key to get there which is being held by a dead husk in the Queen's Garden. If you beat the Collector you get the Collector's map which shows where all the grubs are hidden.||
sorry if that was a bit long. i get really excited talking about this game
do you need the geo?
||Yea like 5 k more
I can get 3 k by selling
And i will visit grub guy to get rewards||
Just grinded like 22 k
Have 31 k, need 5 morr
||what do you need all that geo for? the last nail upgrade is only 4k||
||is there a secret room if you complete all binding on all 5 panthions||
||oh wait the unbreakable charms im dumb||
So i should sell ?
||Yes, but you don't have to do them at the same time||
||is there a video of that||
||yes if you complete enough bindings in the pantheon, which by the way you can do one at a time, there will be a door that has a dream catcher design that when you dream nail will make lifeblood coccoons spawn in the pantheons. and eventually you'll get access to a secret toom that has a bite of lore for the Godseekers.||
Google|| land of storms||
||i know about the cacons but is there any other secrets ( not the workshop, eternal oredal)||
Uh is the|| tuner memory the workshop?||
||as i know there is a 2% chance whene you dream nail the godseeker you get teleportet in the land of storm i thniks is also named workshop||
||i saw a video of reliya about secret rooms a vaile back ( forgot wich one) that mentions some secret room if you beat all panthions including the 5, all binding thta there is a secret room||
||Land of storms is the place you get to after doing each binding||
o ok
||what do you get in the land of storm and what does it do||
if you know
||It gives an optional journal item and some lore||
Seems like I already had 31
Just didn't visit him
||nice so all you need is the one from the second trial at the colosseum then.||
Yessss
||i thought it was 12 k for all charms ?
She asks 9 k for greed||
Ok she asks 15 for other
Guys i'm stuck at || THE RADIANCE ||
what do i do 😭
Is ||fighting her|| even necessary???
||Radiance|| is a really hard boss fight
So you're gonna die alot to her
Technically yes.
Wait… HER?????????!!!
I didnt know ||radiance|| is a she
... yes it's a she-
Anyways uh
If you show me your inventory I can give you some charm loadouts
Also you don't have to Fight her if you aren't ready yet
You can still go out and get more upgrades
You could Swap ||Dream wielder and Quick focus|| for ||Shaman stone|| but the charms you're using aren't bad either
||what charms i should use for colo2?||
If i remove ||quick focus|| i wont be able to ||heal||… thats the problem
||strength, quick slash, Mark of pride||
Yes I know this is a really heavy Nail build but
If you use ||spells|| more then you can use ||Quick slash and Shaman stone and either use Mark of pride or use Grub song and dream wielder and NMG||
If that's the case then I suggest swapping ||Dream wielder|| with ||grub song||
That does make sense…
Ok i will consider doing that,
Thanks for help
Your welcome 
Also if you have any problems with any of the phases then you can ask here and I can give you some tips about it
Sure!
||what to do at end of nailsmith quest , about his request ?||
you decide mate
you can either kill him or you don't
||should i do the Grimm troupe quest now that i am done with divine ,||
If u want
||how do i even fight Grimm||
Trial and error
By being very patient
They have ||4 attacks that basically always act the same way, and will never overlap
Learn how to react to each very consistently and you will never be hit again||
It can help to do a few attempts just trying to dodge
i still dont have art gallery image perms and its been a day since I've joined
i dont see why not? u dont have the new knight role so u should have image perms
||when is a good point to do Grimm
Im struggling a lot rn||
whys everyone using spoiler messages
Because this is a chat for people who are mostly doing first play through
This server is very serious about spoilers since even the names of things or areas divulge a lot of info
Is what i assume
I like this bot tho
Put game related words between 2 pairs of double straight line.... Pairs of this ||
where else do i find || essence || ? i wanna beat the game
and how hard are the || watcher knights ||?
You get ||essence by beating dream bosses or dream warriors||
The ||Watcher Knights|| are a bit challenging at first, but they're far from the hardest. They took me the most attempts to beat the first time for some reason though, it depends on the person
Now I find them pretty easy though
i understand, well i just beat || hornet 2 || and got || the abyss || so idk what to expect
but after i get both the || dash upgrade and wraiths upgrade || then wht do i do?
||watcher knights are on par with H2 imo ||
I recommend getting a special ability from the ||abyss which will make the watcher knights a lot easier||
||Dash ability you mean the shade cloak? The shadow dash||
Fight ||Watcher Knights after you get shadow dash||, it's the perfect ability for them
ok
But you can do anything you want really
and how do i get the || infected sibling cutscene thing at the top of the abyss? ||
How much ||essence|| do you have?
Yall my gf broke up with me so can I do anything to get her back?
Have you ever encountered something that you tried to ||dream nail but it seemed to have some kind of protection from your dream nail?||
Prolly a troll ignore him
near the || hidden station ||
forget about ur gf and grind hk
Then why does it say "Help"
U cant tell me what to do
Yes, you can use the ||dream nail again after you get 1800 essence||. There you wil acquire ||half of an item|| you need for the cutscene later on
Should I ping mods on him
NO
your fault brodie
🤷♂️ idk, u could if u want
Ye, when you have the whole item you ||equip it and go to the abyss. Something interesting happens.|| That's the first step to getting the cutscene
And you guys just started jumping me
If he continues trolling I'll ping mods
ok but jura, where else do i get essence?
How tf am I trolling?
||Dream bosses and Dream warriors||. You defeat them and get ||100-400 essence|| depending on which one I'm pretty sure
No dont leave 
please read the channel description before sending messages here. this is clearly a channel for questions about the game hollow knight, not for whatever relationship problems u r going through. please take ur relationship questions elsewhere, thank you
New knight, asking unrelated questions

Take your earlier question to another channel if you don't want me to ping the mods
Reminder: This channel is for help. Off-topic conversations should stay to their intended channel.
<@&283547423706447872>

and you can also go to the therapist for help
:cluelessline:
hello ghere
I dont have enough money
ghello here
Hey mod these guys were jumping me becuase I want help
as stated earlier, asking about relationship problems is out of scope for this channel, if u have a legitamite question about hollow knight u can ask it here, but otherwise please ask ur questions elsewhere
And then they want you to ban me
my pronouns are he but i wish they couldve been he-he
You think I can’t read?
The channel’s not for relationship advice
Since when did I say that
don’t ask here
If you're lucky you're getting muted instead
this's getting spicy
Ooo drama
it says hollow knight help, help for the hit game hollow knight
It says “HK-help”
Exacly
This is Hollow knight help
This is where if we have trouble by anything in the game
Not a romantic
Stfu
Bru-

Guaranteed mute
m
Im a grown ass dude
No ur not
By that logic I’m a chess piece in a suit of armor
💀 💀
tbh that looks like its taken from twitter
How's he not muted yet
It does
exactly
It really does
ez-xactly
"X"
Its called "X"
Not twittter
But we all like calling it a "Twitter"
Where'd the mod go
Are you stupid?
Idk 
Off to replenish their brain cell count probably
please stay on the topic of this channel guys
horse
tbh once the troll is muted im sure the channel will go back to being on topic
are there any horses in hollow knight
then people should ping mods instead of this
Sadly no.
Buddy Im not muted and I'm not trolling
Mods left but I don't really wanna ping them again
they were already pinged, not sure if another ping is needed
ohhh right it's all insects
Can someone else do it
if this continues it is
could a horse be considered an insect
maybe
Buddy your account was made TODAY
Stay on topic
Thank god
:0 a admin!

Reminder: This channel is for help. Off-topic conversations should stay to their intended channel.
so real
What the fuck is happening here ?
um
Moving on..
U dont want to know
go back to grinding hk azerod
A troll that took quite a while to get muted
Get back on topic
Anyway
Ahem
So anyways
|| wtcher knights ||
so anyway
Im happi now
I’ve been trying once again for ||radabsrad
Im struggling with the climb|| in particular, is it just luck ?
dont asnwer that
Yes, ||shadow dash is good for them||
||Im Goomba||
how do i get out the || abyss ||
climb
I suffered at that part too
Best strategy is to find a rythym. ||Jump at the same time the telegraph appears and you can either double jump to the next plat, double jump away from the laser or even dash to a plat/away from the laser||
Basically you jump the same time the ||telegraph appears and then act according to the laser's position||
what
You climb up
i wanna change my name to something hollow knight related in valorant give ideas
hmm... those certainly are
||strength, shamans stone and life blood heart I guess||
||fragile strength||
don't use ||strength|| you'll die and break it
unless you have a bunch of money to repair it
have you summoned the ||troupe||
I would recommend ||2 out of shaman stone quick focus and quick slash
you can actually heal in the fight if you wait for the two of them to attack, so quick focus is of great help
shaman stone is awesome cuz spells are much better at hitting both knights, dealing overall beeg damage
quick slash is also just very good
for the last 2 notches you have to fill, grubsong is never bad, or something like soul catcher/spell twister||
||any tips for flame mobs after defeating grimm||
no
Use ||nail arts and pray||
Spam ||spells and hope||
||
Climb
- jump in rhythm
- jump as the beam appears
- double jump when it becomes thick
- land as the beam is fading
- on your jump, leave enough space on both your left and right sides to move (leave space next to a platform)
- don't commit to moving left or right until after you know where the beam is
- focus on the beam spawn location rather than climbing
- you can lure the beam away, then dash back onto a platform for extra safety

(thanks but it was just help bait to get chat on track)
oh oops
if you ever see me asking about ||radabsrad||, chances are im just trying to get chat to stop spewing nonsense
Smh that's why you alt for that
yeah, you're risking at least one, maybe two or three reply pings 
what
how did that get deleted i spoiler'd the pic?
is it bcuz of ||vessel||
welp thank you horf and bobby!
he's guarding|| a piece of pale ore||
Not checking spoiler
Is he worth it?
Ah well not like I have a choice now I died down at him and now I have to o back to get my regret

🔹 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.
?
I replied to a person
Ik but why?
For unnecessary spoilers
They tried to spoil you unnecessarily
Yes
how was what i said unnecessary?
Does ||salubras blessing|| count as a percent
I'm having problems with downloading custom skins for hollow knight, anyone know how to fix it?
cuz they didnt to know it was a ||pale ore||
iirc no
Cause im at 105%
but no reason not to get it
i dont think so but it is definitely a good thing to have
What's it even do
cuz if you have ||all charms (each charm is a %) you might as well||
You need all charms for 112% anyway no?
||when you sit at a bench, a spectral salubra appears and fills your soul||
Oh yea I have ||two mask shards, one white fragment, p3||
It's nice but not a huge deal
And idk what else
cant wait for their reaction to what happens when they get it
No i know what happens
fr
I've watched randomized playthroughs and that came up
whats your skin issue
I just can't get them from online websites
No lol I haven't seen that before thanks 👍
u also might find a random skin download in #modding-discussion
||does zote get better each time i fight him?||
Yes
He has ||10 forms|| in total
didnt they reduce it in the dlc tho?
If you're on the ||4th one it does 2 masks||

I did all forms yesterday so it's 10
||just found bretta, im on 106 % lol||
I don't know if it was ever reduced
Nice job!!
||Path of Pain i assume?||
Yes
Is it fine to do ||White Palace before the Grey Mourner quest? I've been working on the Grey Mourner quest for a couple hours now and it's very frustrating, so I was considering skipping it for a bit||
Oh yeah it’s optional
You can do it any order
Okay cool, I was just wondering bc i know you get ||the final mask shard from the Grey Mourner||
i hate that stupid quest
It's annoying for a game that's great at giving you room for error to suddenly force you to play perfectly or start a quest over
||i did it like 2 min ago, after infected crossroads, go trough teachers archives is my tip||
||how long is this fkin coloseum of fools, ive been at it for 10+ min tf is this||
||Increasingly longer with every trial||
YOOOOO
I did it second try
||I would suggest going through the east side of city of tears that you can get to from resting grounds and then go to fungal wastes to get to queen’s gardens and from there just pray nothing hits you. Also I personally used weaver song cause the weaverlings dont agro any enemies and you can kill anyone from a distance. Also if you do have the flower break DO NOT SIT ON A BENCH that REVIVES ANY DEFEATED ENEMIES so if you do get the flower to break what I did was kill anyone who wasn’t dead and then I redid it and it was WAAAAYY easier the second time||
Yeah, I did it by ||killing all the enemies on the path beforehand, then dreamgating back to the start and going through with the flower, dreamgating back if I mess up at the thorn platforming||
Could you maybe tell me the exact location of the one in ||fungal wastes|| bc i cant find it and weird enough its not showing on my map
Nvm i got it
With your nail and ||spells||
||god tamer? A great strategy is to pogo the best, along that, dont focus too much on the tamer since if you kill the beast both die||
Thanks
Nuhuh the they just give up they don't die
you need to put two bars on each side
Wdym
to spoiler tag ||like this|| not |like this|
Oh yeah I forgot
well what was your question?
In ||distant village|| there are people telling me to sit down, I already know what happens but I can’t find anything else to do in || deepnest/ distant village|| should I still do it ?
what exactly speaks against doing it?
just explore everywhere and do everything you can
guys im gonna try for the|| dream no more ending in my steelsoul save||. any tips for|| White Palace?||
||hiveblood and do speedrunner skips||
i do not have the skills for the skips
There are some easy ones tho
||what achievement am i missing? its the 2nd last one right above the 112% completion one||
||white palace|| completed
did you do ||Path of Pain||?
do u have all charms?
||in terms of a build, i use nail build: strength, mark of pride, quickslash, grubsong, steadybody. but switch steady body to dream wielder at the checkpoint for uumuu fight||
thx
dude this build is lowkey awesome
its just standard ||nail build|| lol
does ||Divine|| stay even after you finish the ||grimm troupe stuff||?
yeah but i dont have them in my ||steelsoul || save yet
ya she does leave
but people are saying that if you dont have all the ||unbreakable charms ||she stays even after you beat ||nkg||
maybe im not sure bc i || banished the troupe instead ||
didnt want to deal with ||nkg||?
also bc || carefree melody ||
i prefer ||grimmchild||
||she stays if u beat nkg||
on the topic of ||nkg|| does dying to him count as an actual death or no?
No
its in a dream so no
||Can grimkin rush attack be interrupt||
||rush attack?||
when they ||charge|| at you?
Yes
for that, you can jump, and ||pogo ||them if timed correctly
there isnt a way to actually "interrupt" it tho
If it attack as they are coming towards me ?
you do a small hop while they are already on a certain trajectory
and ||down slash|| while they are right bellow you
Pogo is tough for me
I went back rn to try this and it works ig
||how tough is NKG compared to normal grimm ?||
Is there any easy way to fill up on soul before him
||It's way faster And way more Punishing
It's really hard but never Unfair||
Which is why it's one of my favorite boss
So just have fun and good luck
If you need any tips then you can ping me
I do need some
Should i get all ||mask shard and vessel before fighting him
And is any way to refill soul before his fight||
Also if you have any advice on the fight
Okay then
Here's some tips
||-NKG only uses the pufferfish attack when he lost 25% of his health and the background is also a great way to tell how much health NKG has left
-NKG is really Punishing cause of the double damage so don't panic and get back to the Rhythm as fast as you can
-think of the entire fight as a Dance battle
Choose 2 attacks to attack Grimm and for the rest you can play defensively until you beat him
-Don't be greedy cause the double damage is REALLY punishing
-i suggest going for some Test runs, basically just try learning every attack and how to counter them
-Remember every position NKG teleports to has its own unique Attack
An example is the Uppercut where he teleports behind you and does a Lung before going for an uppercut||
Other than that have fun cause you're gonna have the time of your life there
Well
||NKG|| isn't Forced so you can fight him whenever you want to
So if you feel like you can't beat him and you want to get better gear then go for it
Also if you show me your inventory I can tell you what charms to use
I think i was using ||strength, heart, mark of pride, longnail||
Oh remove ||longnail||
||i was using grimchild ||
Your current charm build is pretty good but I say you can swap ||Fragile Heart for Grub song and one more one notch charm||
But if you use ||Spells|| then this is what I suggest
||Quick slash, shaman stone, Grimm child and grub song and any 1 notch charm you like||
I think nail for this one
That can work too
||any tips for failed champion||
Here's a tip ig
||Good luck||
But jokes aside
||You can hit Fail champions armor when he gets Stunned and has his head out
Then use Dream nail to get full health and Full Soul
Failed champion has the same Attacks from False knight but the Hammer shockwave is bigger and is much MUCH faster and deals double damage too||
So I'm not kidding when I say good luck
Yeah I can feel his hits
Yeah dw
that's Normal-
attack, walk away and jump, walk back, repeat
How many phases is he ?
||use mark of pride then||
Pretty sure just one
i think they mean cycles
Yeah it's 3 phase
I ||thought it was 3 and then he got up again and i got foolishly killed while he was going to break the floor
Is why i got confused
Just beat him||
Nice job
How many phases for ||grey prince zote||
you asking how many times he gets staggered in the fight?
Yep
Phases / cycles
Okay it's like .... 3
Does that change in retries and any reason to do it again
||staggers are based on hits, not damage output. so there is no set amount of staggers||
But are there no set number of phases ?!
||gpz has a stagger of 19, and combo stagger of 16, but its hard to get the combo stagger so usually ull be seeing a stagger every 19 hits||
||the majority of bosses that stagger have their stagger based on hits rather than damage output. only a select few bosses stagger based on damage||
So they ||will keep staggering until i get to a certain amount of damage ?!!||
i dont understand what u r trying to ask. ||staggering has nothing to do with damage for most bosses||
That's what i am saying
||Until i do enough damage to kill them
If i do may hits they will just keep on staggering as many times
Unless my damage depletes their health ?||
||yes, when u deal enough damage u will obviously kill them. but staggering has nothing to do with that||
||Take for example a very late game boss
And i have the starting nail
So i will do many many hits but less damage
So i will stagger them a lot of times
Until eventually their health runs out||
||the lower ur damage output is, the more staggers u will get. for instance if u have the old nail and the stagger value is 19, if u hit the boss with the nail 19 times u will stagger the boss and only deal 95 damage. but if u had for example, pure nail + strength instead, by the time the boss staggers (given u only do nail swings) u would have dealt 608 damage||
||spells also count towards staggers which is why i specified nail only for simplicity of calculation||
||so what triggers their phases aka when attacks change or new attacks get added ?
Is it stagger or damage ?
For eg failed champion starts doing i think forward jump only in phase 2
Otherwise he will do backwards jump only in phase 1
||
So ||1 spell gives stagger value equal to 1 nail hit ?||
||yes, though keep in mind that spells can hit multiple times. for instance if the fireball stays within the boss hitbox long enough, the enemy iframes will run out and hit it a second time, or even more times. and abyss shriek can hit up to 4 times, and also ddark has 3 hitboxes so that is 3 hits potentially.||
||failed champion is one of the few bosses that stagger based on damage, not hits. so its kinda both actually. but generally speaking if a boss has a new attack midfight its usually based on an hp threshold, not the amount of staggers||
is this a good build for the ||5th pantheon||?
Oh thank god
Could be better but if that’s what you’re comfortable with go for it.
i love ||cyclone|| 
the thing is i´m kinda strugglin with ||Sly|| now without the nail range my old build had
||1st or 2nd phase?||
Me when Nail:
||1st||
||2nd|| is just dodge, and easier to hit with slashes but i sometimes get hit without ||sharp shadow´s|| extra ||dash|| distance
||quick focus is decent but u should try to wane off from it especially in p5. dps charms are better in the long run, since once u learn the boss patterns well enough u dont need to heal as often and can rely on dps instead. not only will it make runs go by quicker it will also make u a better and more consistent player as well||
and i´m not going to do a special build or change it mid ||pantheon|| just for specific bosses, the one i have now helps 90% of it
i can no hit the first 2 ||pantheons||, and some bosses in the third and 4th
should i change it for ||shaman´s stone||?
||yea shaman stone is an extremely good charm so i would recommend it||
||hmmmm maybe for some range or quick slash||
||i got rid from those bcs i started using nail arts, and those easily replace range and damage one some cases||
||quick slash + strength outperforms narts in most cases, tho narts still has some usefulness so its good that u r comfortable with them||
||Cyclone counts in the number of hits required to stun bosses?||
is there a way to defeat || revek ||?
||yes each cyclone slash hit counts as one hit towards the stagger count||
Please spoiler tag ||cyclone|| too
is there a way to defeat || revek ||???
||absorb all the spirits||
yeah but they will attack me, how do i dodge the attacks
is what i wanna know most
do i need || shade dash ||?
it makes it way easier, yes
||u can parry revek but it takes some good timing||
oh
yeah that too, a well timed upwards hit must be enough
||Also if you hit revek, the cooldown before the next attack will be a bit longer||
is it easier to || shade dash ||?
||Youll have more time to dream nail if you parry properly||
m
man i would rather just beat the || spirits from their graves ||
oh wait the || spirits killed stay dead?? ||
Indeed
but they only give 1 || essence ||
Yes.
if u r looking for big ||essence|| sources, ||spirits glade|| isnt good
then where are big sources
||Where did you get your previous essence?||
||There are a bunch of graves around the map||
||dream warriors and dream versions of bosses like the Lost Kin, soul tyrant and the failed champion||
||the last three ones give more essence iirc||
Remember spoiler tags
Guys i have problem 🫠
but what || charms || should i use for || dream warriors ||
||Depends on what charms you have and what other upgrades do you have and do you prefer spells or nail or some other damage sources and which warrior it is||
||the ones you feel comfortable for bossfights
if you have fragile strength and get defeated in a dream fight it wont break (Kin, Tyrant, Nightmare Grimm, and Failed champion only)||
the one in the || resting grounds ||
well idk which to use
i mean
tbh i just use whatever the internet tells me to use
spoiler tags
||and you can still find the missing bugs in other zones
Aaand the hunter journal doesnt counts for the 112%||
Looking suggestions up will spoil the game for you
||i would suggest fight it first by yourself with your build a couple times, and then tell us how it went and ask for tips||
ok
if you want a build anyways
||i like NM´s glory, shaman stone, and quick focus for that fight, maybe mark of pride if you feel like it||
have fun
||shaman stone, quickslash, grubsong, nailmaster's glory||
also it shows that you don't explore like at all
you should do that if you wanna find peak charms
casual gamer vs completionist mindest
in this game there isnt like, an list of things to do in which order
||How many dream bosses are there until kings brand||
0
||and should i fight revek ? And how ||
||I mean how to activate the fight, hit him with dnail ?||
||hit any other spirit with the dreamnail||
also how do i do that ||dnail teleportation thing||
u got it unlocked?
||press downwards + dreamnail keys to place it, upwards + dreamnail keys to use it||
||Its an ability you need to unlock||
oh
Thats, untrue, unnecessary, a wrong upgrade, and the wrong number
i apologize
||so .... For revek i don't actually fight him but only go for spirits ?||
Yeah, but you get virtually nothing from it
Nothing at all ?!
Not nothing at all but it may as well be
....Spoil me
All you get is ||LORE||.
||a few essence, one for each ghost||
And ||essence||.
Less than 50
Damn.....
go for the warriors
they give more
and also is ||markoth|| the same ||warrior|| from ||resting grounds||?
no
guys any challenges i should do on my new save file
how hard is he
Not very, but it can be unpredictable
not that hard
whats his pattern
Tgats the issue, ||dream warriors dont have one||
difficulty is subjective, i would call him annoying instead
He just ||spawn swords in random locations||
||Floating around till either be dies or you do||
hes just like ||xero|| but theres a ||dreamshield around him|| and its very annoying
||They then are thrown at your direction, no homing||
like the one from the grounds
||yep||
Yes but they ||spawn from everywhere and not to his sides||
but with shield
but kinda harder due to its gimmick
ill try
Gl
best way to beat him

It's not enough damage to kill him completely
bruh
They most likely dont have that
||Mantis Lords?||
no
i would say try again, but that could sound mean
no
i wont
ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt243rtfvtfv 54tgv ytgfvc
uhhh
anyway
||Whispering roots?||
Bye
Hello
What charms ||to use for lost kin ?||
achow is cooking 
||And any tips ?
Those orange ghosts are so annoying ||
||defender´s crest deals enough damage to kill em just by touching the gas||
||when u r fighting lost kin u should try to stagger it often by getting a lot of hits in, so i would recommend quick slash for this fight. so something like quick slash, strength, shaman stone, steady body can work very well here. or replace shaman stone with mark of pride. if u dont wanna use steady body then use grubsong, tho steady body does help in following where lost kin goes.||
Eh ? Wut ?
||they just take one nail swing to kill so u should prioritize trying to get them off the screen as quickly as safe to do so. spells can also work very well to kill both the balloon and hit lost kin at the same time (which is why i recommended shaman stone since spells are extremely good in this fight)||
||those orange ballons die at 1 dmg, the crest ticks 3 dmg per cloud||
So like does it happen in intervals or permanent
Also it gives soul ?
no, but its a way to get rid of em
They appear as soon as one dies 😫
||they spawn quite often so u have to be efficient in killing them so that they dont pile up. u should rarely be seeing more than one or two on screen if u r efficient enough at killing them||
nah theres more to it
||Thanks i beat him
I didn't even use spells on the tension of the fight||
Bro that works wonders for this fight
you tried it?
Yes
||you dont get soul but you can focus on the actual boss||
good if you prefer only-nail fights
Yes exactly because the ads are annoying and too much baggage to deal with between the boss fight for me
glad it was useful 
||tips for soul tyrant ?||
||I like using nail arts, heavy slashes only at the beginning and cyclones at the end of the fight, and a lot of abyss shrieks-spamming||
I don't have the last one
||when he surrounds himself with the projectiles and glides across the screen stay in the middle to avoid getting hit||
But try your own build first,|| its only a bit faster than the normal fight||
For both passes ?
Was just about to say that
You mean|| phases||?
No like he passes by two times with that attack
||the second pass (when soul tyrant disappears and the orbs go back) is where u should go towards the middle for the safe spot. u should still dodge the initial pass||
||the safest way is to just dodge in the opposite direction of where the orbs are initially going (if u have the soul u can even get a fireball from behind as soul tyrant is going through), then head towards the middle as the orbs are heading back||
||what i do is charging nail arts and when he teleports to a random location reach him with a dash-slash, and then go back to the arena's center until the ground slams phase
First time he passes thru with the orbs you can hit him 2 times with the right timing, or do one heavy slash, and use the second one to heal||
yall i need help with ||soul master, im able to get the hang of his attacks but i dont know how to dodge the 4 rotating balls he summons, and whenever he does the dive he fakes it out most of the time and immediately uses it again, which leads to me getting hit by the shockwave, rn i have vengeful spirit and the howling wraith for spells, and im using shaman stone and spell twister for charms||
||for the orbs, you can stand still in the middle of the room and jump over them, sometimes just by staying in the middle they wont hit you at all
for the slams bait, dash again in the same direction you already dashed and jump to the opposite direction, from where the shockwaves come||
||alright, also question, for the fight what spell is better to use, vengeful spirit or howling wraiths? cause most of the time he's above me so i usually use howling wraith if i cant get nail swings in||
