got shit on but LETS GOOOOOO
||howl also can hit multiple times||
W kel pfp
alright ||also how do i get it to hit the guy multiple times like chikiliningo said||
fuck
forgot to
turn off reply ping
mb
||Wraiths does 3 'ticks' of damage, so if it stays in the realm of damage for long enough you'll do multiple hits||
If you listen carefully, you can hear the tics
||the enemy needs to be in the middle of the spell||
Not necessarily, it just needs to stay in the hitbox
I also don't think that is true
how much bigger, it seems a little small to me rn
||you can even use it when hes moving, just with the right timing||
just checked the wiki nvm
||what do i do for absrad im getting shit on||
||just increases damage by 50%||
Uh ||ddark ||
||practice the fight in godshome||
thats where im getting shit on
||#hk-help message|| this should help
practice makes perfect ig
man one thing i dont like is that the benches are kinda far from the bosses
||like yeah the bench at city of tears isnt far from soul master but its still annoying having to travel all the way back when i die||
||Soul master|| is one of the worst runbacks if it makes you feel better
||wait soul master is the worst runback?||
nvm it doesnt seem that bad now
if a slight jog is the worst runback
There are one or 2 others that are also annoying but yeah this one is quite bad compared to others
also question
||how do i get past the ominous walls of dark energy in fog canyon||
oh alr
goodluck
I have not seen this guy
Does he appears later
||that enemy is in a rather hidden area that u can easily miss, but i would say its in a middlegame area||
if u can show ur map i can tell u if u have access to it or not
This ||guy is in city of tears as far as i figured ?
I have full city
I think that room was empty
Or is it something to do with tower of love ?
I can send map in a bit||
||yea its in the right side of city of tears||
Like does he not appear at some point ? I am sure i found empty room like that
||nope he is always there if u didnt kill him. u r probably thinking of the wrong room||
Hmnm.... what is his name
I will ho back
||gorgeous husk||
š
||You need to jump over the wall on the right, i dont remember if there was a breakable wall but its here||
||theres no breakable wall, just a jump is needed||
||Steelsoul Radiance fight done||
I honestly cannot find him
Is he ||in the hot spring door ?
There is one above that but empty
And one below with some woman laughing||
||there's a room full of husks that has a space at the back that you can jump into||
Oh so i have to jump
Do i kill him
You get a ton of geo
But for ||100% and 112% you have to||
I don't need the geo
But it's fine to kill him regardless ?
He is needed for completion
||u need to kill him for the hunters journal achievements so yes||
š
||I done all dream boss and warrior dream currently possible before opening door in ancient basin using kings brand
Except NKG
Will shade cloak help me again NKG||
||also are other bosses repeatable like GPZ
And is there any reward to do them again||
||shade cloak can be utilized a lot in NKG if u wish to, i personally dont use shade cloak at all against nkg since i find that more consistent. it is up to u tho||
the only repeatable one is|| white defender ||i believe
||most bosses can be repeated in a late game area but thats more of a practice area, if u mean in the overworld, then off the top of my head i can think of only a few bosses that can be repeated||
||i don't really know
I remember reading somewhere you can beat GPZ 10 times or something||
yep thats true

||i went to the guy that wants us to banish the grimm troupe
And was checking it out of curiosity
I talked to him and he suddenly started to do the banishing
I did not expect that
I immediately save quit and NKG is still here but that guy is gone
Is everything fine ?||
nothing should be wrong youre good
||i need help on sly's second phase||
i can easily go through ||his first phase|| but im having trouble with ||second phase||
||one of the best ways to deal with slys second phase is with a combination of shade souls and great slash. when sly gets close, immediately dash away. then turnaround once sly makes a full stop. if u have the soul, u should cast a shade soul; if done at the right timing, u have a good chance of getting a multihit. otherwise, do a great slash instead. u might have to walk towards sly a little to land the great slash but its quite lenient since great slashs hitbox is big. u can see a video demonstration of this strat here: #hk-help message||
why does it ||take me 1 try to beat the radiance on my first try but when it's sly im having so much trouble i tried this again in god of halls the great slash thing didnt work i keep getting damaged so i decided to save up souls but i still died (ig i just suck that much)||
is there any good charms for him
š
i hate his ||greatslash hitbox|| some times
||i mean sly is a hard boss fight, but once u get down how to do his second phase it really isnt that bad. just reactively dash when u see him close to u, and once u see stop after the spinning attack, turnaround and great slash or shade soul. if u r getting hit u r probably not reacting quick enough and not dashing out of the way in time, or u r walking too far towards sly when he is doing that spinning thing and u get hit by it||
||just a regular charm build like shaman stone + strength + quick slash + whatever u what is good enough. if u r really struggling with using great slash on second phase u can try mark of pride for the extra nail range||
I DID IT
THANK YOU
i beat ||soul master!!||
also
||should I open the stone door at the end of dirtmouth?||
what is that? i didn't see anything in the ||temple of black egg||
||yea nothing will happen now, its just a mark for an important place which ull need to come back to later in the game||
oh okay
i remember another door that requires a|| simple key|| too
i mean u could, but ||it leads to smth that is more of a functionality thing rather than an area to explore. so if u dont have that many simple keys then u could hold onto it and decide what to do with it later||
i forgot where the other door was :(
||in the city of tears||
Zbro
i have no joke spent more time on ||lost kin|| than i did on sans
and this isnt even a final boss or anything
oh right thanks!
right?
Well ||lost kin|| is also completely optional
You can come back to them later when you have ||better stuff, more charms and better nail/spells||
i found ||lost kin|| easy with the charms im using
also
im gonna try ||path of pain||
You got ||wings||, that is already really good, you can use those to get upgrades
wish me luck lol
what upgrades?
Surely it wonāt be that bad 
||Masks, charms, pale ores for nail|| upgradesā¦
Yāa know, upgrades, Iām not sure what you have right now but you probably can get some more ?
If you want me to more precisely guide you towards upgrades you can post a screenshot of your inventory
Surely..
oops sorry for the ping
those ||crystal shooting bugs|| are hella annoying
the doors to ||city of tears closed behind me and ive been running in circles for the last hour, how do i progress from here?||
From where the video cuts just continue going by platforming on the platforms in the sky
imo to get unstuck
you can get back outside near the closed off entrance!
||this exit needs a certain ability that they very likely do not have yet||
doesnt it only require ||mantis claw and dash?||
||requires ddive for breakable floor||
i had those before i went for ||desolate dive||
i forgot that there was a ||breakable floor||
good news i got out lol
||any tips to beat Oro and Mato in Pantheon Master||
Practice them in the ||hall of gods||
||They only both attack at the same time if you stand in between them.||
Can someone help me get to ||sisters of battle?||
how far r u into the game? can u show ur inventory?
Sure :D
Sry for the bad... Everything. I'm on ps4
||okay so sisters of battle will be found in the last pantheon in godhome. u will need to encounter them in that pantheon first before unlocking them in the hall of gods||
get to the ||last pantheon or play on godseeker||
||on NKG im barely able to last phase 1 and usually die in the fireball attack
I can only get in 1 hit usually in most of his attack and not more
Should i get abyss shriek and do this boss later
Even though i am not able to atleast dodge most of his attack but one little mistake and instantly 2 masks gone
The reason why im taking barely 25% of his health||
||abyss shriek will be helpful for damage yea, but theres really only two openings where u r gonna use it: flame pillar attack and at the start of pufferfish attack. it will help with making the fight go by faster since u have higher dps but the main thing about this fight is knowing how to respond to each of his attacks||
||Yea i can now somewhat do that but like it's not simply reacting to attacks
You need to do it perfectly
There so less scope of mistakes
If i take 5 hits im dead
And i have to last insanely long considering with current damage and health i can only last till phase 1
And atleast half of those i will get from fireball||
||and if I last till the stagger how many heals do i get ?
1 heal. Maximum 2. Which is in no way help almost dead me recover
The gap is evident||
You can get a lot of heals during staggers
||2 at the very least, 3 probably
Like if you donāt attack the bats while they are staggered, you have plenty of time ||
||well the whole fight is really about reacting to whatever telegraph nkg does, then based on the telegraph respond to the attack accordingly. as u play the fight u will start to recognize these telegraphs and be able to react almost instinctively to what hes about to do.
if u r finding nkg too hard currently u can always go do smth else before coming back, since i can see u r still missing a few things from max upgrades||
But you also need to properly learn all of their pattern and be able to dodge them very consistently
It doesnāt have to be perfect, but if an attacks hits you half the time it is out, no matter how good your damage is, you will die
||I don't attack the bats
I just am not able to notice the telegraphs quickly
My eyes and brain just don't catch up to the fight||
||how does uumu function in hall of Gods ? Does Quirrel appear again in godhome? Lol||
Probably 30+ attempts by now
||quirrel does not appear in the godhome uumuu fight. instead, after every few attacks, uumuu will spawn in a couple of oomas into the arena. if an ooma core explodes near uumuu, uumuu will become vulnerable for attack||
That is something I really often see but it isnāt usually actually why people get hit
Arguably for the spikes, but that is the only attack
I think itās not a matter of not reacting in time, but just that you are not changing how you dodge based on what you see
You always try the same thing and get hit the same way each time
Stop trying to win attempts, try to do attempts where you have only one goal, dodge each attack
I will try
I wish ||quirrel appears in godhome, the oomas make the fight much harder ;-;||
i mean yeah but the whole point of ||godhome is to make the bosses harder and more interesting||
or js go into ||godseeker mode||
yea that is an option but they said afterwards that they didnt beat ||pantheon 3|| yet so they dont have it unlocked
same way you add them
||Am I stupid or pantheon 3 is easier then 2||
guys can i use ||dreamgate|| everywhere? like can i teleport from ||greenpath to ancient basin|| with it?
||did anyone know you can cdash to get to the blue lake by salubras||
you can use it anywhere
||exept the dreams of others like in godhome||
that is very well known yes
i just figured that out
and thought i was the smartest pearson
||u can set ur dreamgate nearly everywhere (some notable exceptions are boss arenas, some sub areas, and dreams). but u can only teleport to where u set ur dreamgate at, and some locations even prohibit u from teleporting to ur dreamgate||
nice, ||usually ppl find that entrance from blue lake cuz its not hidden from that side||
||NOOOO WHAT HAPPENED TO CROSSROADS?||
||there are two triggers for infected crossroads, so u mustve hit one of the triggers||
WAIT IVE COULD HAVE PREVENTED IT?
not really, in order to progress in the game u would need to have hit the triggers at some point
its a sign that u have made significant progress in the game
how significant in %?
5
how hard is ||marmu||?
can be annoying but not hard
bru what even is the point of ||howling cliffs||
nothing
bruh
||GORB||
yeah hes dead
what about the large bug corpse?
btw is there a ||stag|| station in howl clif
||if I know what youāre talking about then try dreamnailing it||
does it do anything?
Did you attack the torch
yeah till the things got set a blaze with some red fire
||Go to dirtmouth||
alr
Ur in for a good time
sans?
@simple island @stoic cedar
Just beat ||NKG after many hours of trying and practicing
I started getting off heals after the last pillar too
And the last phase i threw and gave him a free hit
Decided to just not go for the heal and focus on beating him on 2 health .....
Goddamn me , i could cry right now||
But i sure expected some better reward .....
š¤Æ
True .....
Very true
(||and a completion percentage||)
Thank you guys for the advice 
||ccant that last stag guy get his memory in fixed shape soon? im trynna go to stag nest||
lol
There really isnāt much of value there anyway 
|| it lets you have more soul||
ooooooh
should i?
Buying ||shards and not getting a full thing is useless
But hoarding a million geo and dying with it is also pretty useless||
dying with it like i dont get it back
How early into the game are you exactly 
You seem to be asking lots of questions, and searching answers for things which the game will answer on its own
Youāre telling me youāve ||never died and lost your geo ?||
||you have to cross Queen's Gardens||
huh
you mean station?
also how can i destroy ts?
itās an upgrade later in the game
how later we talking
i just started the game today i died to the 3mantis bosses and when i came back my soul wasn't there
in dirthmouth theres the thing with regret thats where u get it back
unnecessary spoiler
look above the boss arena iirc
what
i tried wasnt there too
wasnt unneccessary
If you died a second time after the boss on your way back to get your ||shade|| then it will have moved to wherever you died the second time
Yes it was, you just spoiled a part of the game they almost certainly hadnāt found yet
i didnt tho i just dont see it there
hes at ||mantis lord|| he should have unlocked that part
||i unmlocked it before greenpath||
mfw non linear progression
how later is the upgrade
Probably next to next area
There's one area in between and the following area has it
What
Have I discovered it?
not discovered yet
Most people don't do that
What i mean is they don't like explore the entirety of an area
They miss some things
And discover them at their own time
It's their own game experience
So if you try to help someone out only tell what is absolutely necessary and as spoiler free
He only needed to know that ||his shade was spawning at a different location than the boss room
It actually spawns Directly above the last mantis before boss room||
Im not pointing fingers but i hope you understand this
You have to get to next area
Then the upgrade is in the area after that area is what i meant
Im still not sounding clear
I don't know how else to say it
Also i am not 100% sure but that's probably accurate
||Is it deep in deepnest or what?||
No like you have not reached that area at all yet
no
Iām so confused rn
itās to the east
Bro it's far away now
Stop worrying about it
Just come back later
I wanna worry about it tho
Okay so go to east as he says .....
Itās one of the only things I want to do before fighting the ||dreamers||
this place?
Someone please gimme the ||charms|| to beat ||troupe master Grimm|| easily
You donāt have to fight the ||dreamers|| you only have to slash them a lot and then ||focus||
how do i fight the shadow arriers?
how. what does it spoil?
theres a good build method and a cheese method
which do you want
do you know how to destroy the shadow barriers?
its an upgrade later in the game
what upgrades do you have
@tribal dove did you fight the main boss in ||kingdoms edge||?
alr
Here is a cheese build ||with the charms, spell twister, shaman stone, jonis blessing and grimm child(just spam shriek has to be shriek)||
yup. if you have at least 2 additional ||soul vessels|| at least you can basically 1 cycle
if you hit him when hes bowing itll force him into ||balloon mode|| and you just spam ||abyss shreik||
||why is this white city Parkour so hard ?
Any tips for that ?
I equipped dreamshield thinking it would protect me when i had never tried it out ||
||hiveblood|| = cheeswe
cheese*
if i were you i would use ||grubsong, mark of pride, quickslash and anything else that you like (not sharp shadow or a minion charm)||
are they black?
How about this ?
also ||steady body|| isnt bad for the parkour
How in the heck im supposed to do this ooooof
its good, i didn't know if i should recommend you ||dashmaster as it can be tricky to use well, but its definitely a good charm||
No, white
||dash or jump a little and dash, and then double jump||
||dash and jump||
Lock in
Bro i got it but like this is so tough for me š
I CANNOT DO THIS WHOLE THING AGAIN IF I DIE
I know itās tough
I CAN'T 
I wish you good luck
gl
How, if I can, could I recommend stickers for the server
how many ||masks|| are there in the game
9
||theres a full map on reddit but thatll take all the fun wont it?||
not really
thats all you need for 112%
how many hits does ||no eyes|| take until she dies
30-40
depending on your nail
||No Eyes' health depends on your nail level when you fight her: at base nail (lv0), it's 200 HP, at lv1 it's 320 HP, at lv2 it's 416 HP, at lv3 it's 500 HP, and at lv4 it's 570 HP||
i did it
i kiled her
so basically i just stayed on the lowest platform and waited until she tpd close to it
how much does marktoth give
i mean, the eh cents
how much ||essence does markoth give||
Look there are these barriers in front of ||path of pain|| and idk what it is or how i get rid of it
Like a ||Warrior dream?||
warrior or dmb?
dmb

Oh, such a bad new
Either ||Lost Kin or Soul Tyrant||
Ok so ||im outside path of pain
If i leave white palace do i have to do the whole walk from the start to here again ?||
š
prolly ||white defender||
or ||soul tyrant||
ok
??
it's a place you come from or you have already been to, which means you don't need to go back there, so it is blocked off
||then where is path of pain?||
it's a ||breakable wall just to the left of the room after the elevator||
how to destroy shadow barriers?
i done that i still cant find it
whers kingdoms
thing
||the black walls that push you back when you walk into them?||
yeah
You need a later game upgrade to pass through them
i wanna see whats behind them before i kill the ||dreamers||
how later
Can I see your map?
Do you have access to the ||second half of City of Tears?||
You could work towards getting the upgrade now
You know the ||ruined stag station below Kings Station Stag?||
yeah
||Swim through the water past the wall||
Once you get into the new area explore around for a while until you find a boss.
actually it is a bit until you get the upgrade but its a very cool part imo
||first time in abyss not much to do except shade cloak ?||
No , there are a few other things you can do
Like?
Well did you see the room left of the main room or the blue door
||the blue door yes but I don't have all mask shards
What left room ?||
At the bottom of the pit go left from there , you would have gone right || for shade cloak ||
||very left i don't have the howling spell||
Alr then theres nothing else
patience and attack when spinny move
How do i attack him? š¤Æ
nail
||that didn't work out
Just killed him
Spammed spells when he stops
And got in 3 or something hits in to get soul in between||
||How to reach queens garden after abyss||
Whatās a good charm build for ||white defender||
||is there a way i can practice against absolue radiance before fighting it in the pantheon?||
No, you have to encounter it once
What charms do you have
All of them
Do you use ||spells||
im going to hk discussion cuz that bot is annoying
That is crazy
I've completed the ||5th Patheon|| and yet I am still at ||111%|| , is there anything I might have missed?
||Been to seer with 2400 essence, colo 3?||
Beyond that, an image of your inventory + charms + map would be helpful as to not play 20 questions
Yeah
than ||strenght, quick slash, shaman stone, and spell twister||
Get that last 2 ||shards||
||mask shards||
Yes
whats a good charm build for ||3rd pantheon||
(spoiler is charm inv)
||quick slash, mark of pride, strength, steady body||
or for ||spells: shaman stone, spell twister, quickslash, dreamwielder (longnail)||
tyyy
Np
||the fact that you've never taken off steady body, dashmaster, or sharp shadow since picking up void heart is wild||
Theyāre so peak idk what u mean
anyways the "meta" build is ||qslash strength shaman sbody nmglory||
Theyāre hot garbage that late into the game
||But u get to dash faster and have some of them do damage so thatās pretty good||
š
The damage means nothing and for the last few bosses youāre only ||dashing|| to dodge some attacks.
In fact you only really ||dash|| to dodge attacks in every boss fight. ||DashMaster is literally just two wasted charm notches.||
||dashmaster is peak idk what you say||
Itās alright for exploration but itās hot dog shit in a boss fight
i did ||the 3 first pantheons with dashmaster, sprintmaster, sharpshadow and mark of pride before realizing how bad that build was||
its not the best for vanilla content sure, but quite a few modded challanges require it either for hights or for platforming
And this isnāt a modded discussion.
ok!!!!!
||Dashmaster is useful for some fights like GPZ, tyrant or watchers.
Outside of that, absolutely goated in IKG and AbsIKG, and so much fun for Enhanced Nosk||
Doesnāt change the fact that in vanilla itās dog shit for virtually everything.
not bad
no its peak. enhances ||sharp shadow|| and everything
Dog shit makes more dog shit better.
||is there any improvements i can do in my radiant absrad charms setup||
Does ||dash master|| increase ||shade soul|| quicker as well?
||isnt shade soul a spell and dashmaster is a charm that boosts dashes?||
they might have meant ||shade cloak||
Yea what he said
no, the cooldown is the same
srry forgot about spoilers for a sec
Gotcha ok
it does not however if you combine it with ||sharpshadow|| it deals more damage
btw goated mr clean pfp
Thx brotha
Iām trying to do the same exact thing right now bro. Itās bad
I am not qualified to say. I'm only here to say that the fact you're using ||steady body|| makes me so unbelievably happy.
Hey, shoot me! My favorite charm needs some more love, what can I say?!
||and advice for the grimmkin nightmare I find them very annoying and I need 10% to 112%||
Any
||nkg was the hardest boss i fought when i first met him, it just takes time to learn his moves||
||if u dont have maxed gear u shud get that too||
|| for the uppercut attack just pay attention where he does the uppercut and move slightly to the right in the exact spot where he did the uppercut to avoid the flames||
||oh u could just farm up soul and use spells if ur having difficulty getting to them||
|| also you can use shape of unn to heal when hes doing he summons the bird-like things attack||
I have every upgrade
ok
||only charms I need to get is turning greed unbreakable and also the two halves of kings soul then void heart||
ok
||I struggle with traitor lord. I just don't know what else to do to set this as side for now I guess god home.||
Do ||a minion build and hug the top right wall with cdash||
Also need ||jonis||
||jump over him when he dashes run or jump away when he dives shade cloak/ddark through shockwaves and dodge the flying disks normally||
||Shade Cloak through his ground dash, stay still for his jump dash, DDark for shockwaves and if he doubles up on them shade cloak through the second set, just try to avoid the disks and get hits in between his jumps and dashes.||
guys what ||charms should i use fo markoth||
||normal markoth?||
yh
any good build works
give me one
||mark of pride, shaman stone, spell twister, soul eater, grubsong||
i dont have ||spell twister||
all good not needed replace with anything u want
||How to reach queens garden after abyss||
||fog canyon or greenpath||
ill stream ||markoth||
||i want to skip for canyon for now and do as less as possible of it
should i go through queens station and through fog canyon||
beat him
yeah shouldve been relatively easy thats what i meant by any good build
||what equipment do u have||
Idk how ima do this I got to the climb 6 times and came one hit away from killing ||absrad|| (this is for ||radiant||) died to the climb twice and havenāt gotten back there for a whole hour
Itās so fucking hard
Wait I meant to say I passed the climb twice
I died 4 times
Most of what i can at this point
||yeah with shade cloak and ismas tear u can get to queens garden through the left side of fog canyon, even though u want to avoid fog canyon its the fastest way||
how hard is ||failed champ||
harder than ||markoth|| for sure
well theres a difference between ||dream versions of bosses and dream warriors. dream warriors are typically much easier and dream bosses are just stronger versions of their normal selves||
but in general what would be the easiest
for me the easiest was ||failed champion||
with enough damage the fight barely feels different
what ||nail|| did you haev
||pure nail||
i left all that stuff until i maxed it out
yeah i didnt even know there were ||dream bosses|| until i was almost done with everything else
||explore deepnest||
yeah but WHERE
||behind a breakable wall|| near ||hot spring ((left))||
which hot spring
dawg just keep exploring
ok
...the only one in ||deepnest||
the metroidvania experience
you dont have to like, ask us everything
if you feel like it, go for it
if you feel unprepared or with missing upgrades you can get before the fight just mark it and do it later
you shouldnt be scared, and instead try to do it anyways
maybe is easier than you think
sometimes i really want to say this, like play the game, discover new stuff, explore, making mistakes and dying is okay just experience the game yk
||how to deal with flying mantis mobs in queens gardens||
||when he walks thru the screen jump over and hit its orange bulb||
hmmm sorry, i think it was a tip for another fight
also ||when you are in the high platform you can throw a spirit in its direction|| to deal more damage
i just beat ||p5 ||first try in a long time
ok but how do i get past those ||acid spit attacks from the roof||
||just walk and dash to the direction with the most available space to move, if it keeps falling turn around||
ok
quick question is ||Unbreakable Strength, Unbreakable Heart, Quickslash, and Mark of Pride a viable charm loadout? ||
cool thats what i used to beat ||P5||
||where is stag station of queens garden ? I see signs but no station||
its blocked by a wall and you need to go up and around
Left ?
ive completed every entry in the bestiary that is required for the achievement (according to the wiki) but it hasnt given me the achievement
||does ur journal say that u have 100% encountered and 100% completed? if so, go back to the hunter to get the achievement||
it says 161/162 but the wiki says i dont need all of them
||161/162 means u r still missing one||
do you have any context clues as to what you're missing?
i figured it out its all good gangalang!!
who were you missing?
I beat ||pantheon 3 the other day|| (i dont think I mentioned that yet, i forgor)
Working on ||pantheon 4 now||
||pantheon 4 is tricky especially the last boss||
yeah
a lot of high damage || bosses ||
working on dodging is probably the best way to get pas it
and not face tanking everything
Nice
||now do it again||
did phase 2 first try tho
what
im trying to get the ||speedrun achievements ||so i was wondering which items are required to beat the game?
i have been summoned here by an individual of higher experience
ummm what?
look at hk discussion
||te or normal ending? i think dash claw cdash vengeful spirit and the 3 dreamers for normal ending but im not that experienced so sorry if im wrong||
yeah im trying to get the ||Speedrun and Speedrun 2 achievements|| which are to beat the game in under 10 and 5 hours. so im thinking that if i can beat the game in under 5 hours i'll get both of the achievements. also i dont think they require a specific ending so im going for the ||normal ending which is just to kill THK||
||does the lifeblood core door not open twice after you pick up the charm ?||
||is there a mod that disables absrad fight animation||
like the beginning cutscene thing
nope once you get the charm you cant open the door again
||damn i missed arcane egg||
oof unlucky
||when will i go to the area that has hiveblood ?
The delicate flower quest, 3 dreamers, path of pain, tower of love
These things are only left and that last area||
Yep....i will watch a yt video to know the ||dialogue for trading it
I don't need the money anyway||
||there is a tram that leads from the ancient basin to a previously unexplored are of kingdoms edge. if u explore that area you'll eventually find some breakable walls||
||the loading zone is still there if you wanna noclip but yeah otherwise it wont open||
When am i supposed to go for it ?
u got the ||tram pass from deepnest|| yet?
Yes , i think i have picked up every item that's not in that one area and done everything except ||tower of love and flower quest, dreamers||
||and ghosts/ spirits||
then just go to the area where you drop down into|| the ancient basin and you'll see the tram||
So i should do it now ?
||is there a mod that disables the beginning cutscene of absrad||
if u want.
Nice, just wanted to confirm because I was assuming i would reach it through some story progression or something
i dont think so sadly. i know how u feel tho. those cutscenes are annoying after a while
ye
i keep dying to the bs orbs
on the last phase
damn that sucks. i certainly know how that feels.
*her|| absrad|| is confirmed female i believe
does anyone know how to turn down the screen shake?
if you are on the latest patch of the game (which you should be) you actually can
its in the config file let me see if I can find a path
ok yeah so
steam --> steamapp --> common --> Hollow Knight --> hollow knight Data
you will find a file called "config" you open it with notepad and in it you change the screenshake multiplier to whatever you want
does that work the same if your on a older version of the game?
because i tried it and i dont see the screenshake multiplier
just buy the game instead of pirating it ig
no reason to not be on the latest patch if not because you pirated it :/
There is I believe in the speedrun server an assembly mod that removes screenshake on the old patches
Not sure if it works on anything but 1222, which should be the patch you are playing ?
ye
Also mods like QoL emulate the glitches of the old patches rather well

oh alr thanks
i got|| super dash, mothwing cloak and claw, and dream nail||. what should i focus on next to get these speedrun achievements?
||dive||
||I'd get ddark and ismas. After that go to the dreamers and voila||
okay
is ||ddark ||necessary?
||for the 5hr speedrun achievement, ddark is going to be one of ur best sources of damage so while technically not required it is highly recommended||
So happy I got that achievement in my ||steel soul|| run. Took me four attempts but was a lotta fun. ||Shade dash|| hard carries
holy i hate ||coloseum||
which ||trial||?
yeah that is about all right, that ||trial ||is by far the hardest
Yea u canāt open this
||what the hell ..... The doorway between city of tears and fungal wastes is also locked ||
i dont think so
I walked all the way here .... Curses
Hopefully
There is no way to open it now but ||there is a breakable floor near the city gate that will allow traversal between fungal wastes and city of tears. U need to open it from city side tho||
Whoa where is it
I am in ||city||
guys when i become fool can i destroy shadow barriers?
||its like right above the city gate||
||its not related at all, to do that you need to get an upgrade for the dash||
I HATE THE ||THE MANTIS IN FOOL||
the shadow barriers are passed by using ||shade cloak||
This is the help channel, not the channel for you to rage in
- if you really are raging that bad you are probably better of just leaving and taking a break
My route for ||delicate flower quest
||
alr mb
||Full defensive while my Minions attack
Any advice ?||
anyone got a build for fools tourney?
||any way to quickly fill up soul near stags ?||
||stag to crossroads and hit the enemies outside||
||nothing that can be done using dream nail ?||
||think just base nail is faster, though you could try dream nailing them instead
you can also try dream nailing the plant next to greenpath stag||
||which plant?||
idk which charms you have but you generally wanna focus more on ||spells and soul than the base nail||
the ones that appear in the ||colosseum|| are ||traitor mantises||. they dont follow the rules of the main tribe in the ||fungal wastes||
||so no pride and long nail?||
no these aren't great
which more should i use?
Please spoiler tag ||pride|| too
alr
||Either catcher and dwielder or qf or maybe MoP||
||try to find a breakable wall in the room outside greenpath stag||
||after giving the flower to Grave can i take damage now||
yes after you finish the quest you can freely take damage
||MoP is peak but once you start using it you can't stop.||
there are a few other places to bring the ||flower || to tho
||big thanks to my children for a carrying me
Did 2 test runs
Then failed once
And this time i was successful||
Can i do it after ||grave thing||
yeah there will be one ||flower ||at the ||grave ||that will regrow if you take it. and then you can give one to ||Elderbug||, ||Godseeker||, and ||Nailmaster Oro||
||Oh so i can pick from grave and it regrows ?!! Awesome
But ig it's still fragile ?
I haven't met godseeker yet too||
yes it's still gets destroyed if u take damage. and ||Godseeker ||is in a secret are of the ||Waterways||
š®
I missed him ? Can you give me hints ?
||or does he appear after some event||
||at the bench in waterways go down and left than up theres a breakable ceiling and then just navigate through the fluke infested tunnels till u reach the Junk Pit||
||this is creepy
The laughs of woman in the tower of love changed sinister as soon as i entered
She's got people imprisoned as a collection....
Some dead||
||it was ok to kill collector ? At the very end she didn't attack||
i dont think the ||collector ||has a gender seeing as its a being made of ||void||
Yeah its fine , it attacked you first tbh
Oh. ||I was guessing based on the voice- i mean the noises||
||also yes they have a map that reveals grub locations||
||at the end it wasn't attacking and just tanking so i thought i need to hit something else and not the boss, but there was nothing else in the room
What happens if i don't attack at 2nd stagger ?||
just keep swinging at it. it'll die eventually
thats how the boss works for some reason. they just stand still after you hit it a bunch until u kill it
||devs playing mind games
Want you to feel guilty ooof||
|| any tips for fools coloseum?||
||lesgo
I missed none except the one area in waterways i missed and the Hive which i haven't gone to yet||
Cool
Which trial
Damm , you have max gear or nearly max gear?
||somehow cannot get to this geo rock below king's station stag
It's behind a gate||
Send a screenshot of your inventory
Found it
I was being dumb
You missing alot of charms so probably you are missing some upgrades as well , just explore and get more powerful
Alr ty
||u have to climb up from underneath, thereās a hidden hole that u can climb up||
||yeah i found it
I was trying to enter from above and tower of love etc
The entrance is very covered up but I should have guessed to try below||
||how to deal with this fat worm who rushed you in a tight long passages||
Where?
||waterways secret area
Bottom left||
Oh, ||just ddive and use the iframes to get through, or try to avoid them by trying to figure out where they r then rushing towards the next passageway when they r further away. Damage tanking is also an option but obviously donāt do it often||
So avoid them ? No way to kill efficiently ?
||avoiding them is easier than trying to kill them||
||but u do need to kill a couple of them for hunters journal so its not a terrible idea to try and kill a few. Tho they r rather annoying to kill so if u r having some difficulty in killing them now u can just avoid them for now and come back later on in the game when u have better gear||
Hmnn....im actually very late game as far is my guess
How to open door ?
||each circle on the door represents one binding. So basically u need to do 8 bindings across all pantheons in order to unlock this door||
Sounds very tough ....
Itās not too bad, ||each pantheon has 4 bindings so u can pick and choose which ones u wanna do||
What is ||pantheon||
||did u inspect any of the other doors on the way to that door u were asking about??||
Yes but I did not challenge or attempt
||yea so those are pantheons||
Oh
dying to|| dung defender||
\
hm
hmmmmm
click tab
yeah the map
||does this mean i can cheese the flower ? doing the run to the grave was stressful enough||
did you try exiting that area like finding a door or etc
if u want i can call and share u a screen epointex
ight
I'm using ||pale court mod||, but ||dryya dream|| is kicking me out as soon as I enter it is there a solution?
god please someone help me i cant beat || radiant fucking markoth|| i hate this bitch someone please save me from my hell hole
you can always resort to the cheaty cheaty ways
but dont
too evil. ive already beaten everything in the game without cheats
cant cheat at the last milestone
then just pray to god
Lord, help me š
#1057825333841240104 , i repeat
what build you got?
I feel like ||mark of pride and longnail + spell twister and shaman with maybe strength||
currently using || steady body, quick slash, strength, shamens, and soul eater ||
1 to 2
ish
i mostly just run away constantly, hit whenever theres an opportunity, repeat
sometimes pogo him
i'll give that a go
and cast as many || spells||
alr tell me how that goes, Iāve never done ||radiant markoth||
dont š
also - is || soul eater or spell twister better at having soul for casting? ||
||spell twister is better per notch I think but soul eater if you can fit it in with the overcharmed would be better||

||Here's my Markoth tips and demo: #hk-help message||
oh you are a fucking legend
tysm
hows ||markoth||
alr good to know, keep going you got this

I DID IT
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Nice
did I help?
no prob, Iām glad I could

whatcha gonna do next
Soo who's gonna buy me silksong when it comes out
not me
I would but no screen time
||what version of nosk||
first
so it seems i need to hit ||nosk|| 40 times until he dies
great
ill number
HASHTAG
did you beat him?
yep
nice
finally entered a flow state
||so for easier delicate flower
I go through the route without sitting at a bench killing enemies
Them save quit and take flower
And run again without any enemies ?||
any tips for ||grimm||?
no
||No you can't save and quit, you have to get back there without sitting at a bench, saving and quitting puts you on a bench||
Any specific attacks you are struggling with
not really just the fact shes so fast
||hmm....ok ig it doesn't matter since I don't have the flower on the run back
.
Does that exploit still work in which you sit at bench near npc
Go pick flower , save quit and appear at bench near npc with flower ?||
||No, the point is that sitting on a bench, doesn't matter which, respawns all enemies||
I was referring to a different exploit
||not the killing enemies one||
||The fight is very rythymic, so you can always dodge the attack in the same way. If you don't have an attack you are struggling with yet, I'd recommend doing a couple of runs where you don't try to attack. Just dodge as long as you can to get the attacks down||
Yes that one works
Hmn.....ooof i don't wanna do that
I'll just do killing one
This feels too cheap
alr thanks
Then pretend I said it doesn't work or something
Nah it's fine š
Maybe i get too frustrated and try it later
I need to map out the route now tho for all npc
||Can i not do godseeker one until i do 2 pantheons ?||
bro sometimes shes impossible to dodge
||dreamnail also reset enemies ?||
Is || traitor lord || an optional boss?
Does anyone have any tips for ||mantis lords|| , I have been trying to defeat them for days and I haven't been able to beat the part of the fight when they send 2 at once
a trick that worked for me is just go after dodging attacks
No
and then attack them when u have an opportunity
Aight, I'll try that next time
nope
but he is really easy
||You can finish the game without, but it holds some relevant stuff||
umm theres only one ending ||which you can get without having to kill him||
so generally in a playthrough
you have to go for him
||You can beat game without it -> optional||
||what last charm should i use for fools trial?||
The 3rd one? I would wait till you have like everything
||use nailmaster's glory lmao
literal meta for trial of the fools||
||longnail||
and bro
explore more
you are missing so many charms
Id do ||fast hit instead of dream shield||
i dont have
Ah sry
ive explored as much as i can what
check places which you haven't explored
Didnr see
you have many missing charms
Then ||mark of pride imo||
you just overlooked the areas
i literally explored everywhere
ill give you one hint
you will find an absolute cinema charm in ||soul sanctum||
||Secret sub areas, charm shops and bosses you likely havenāt fought yet.||
Yep
damn
You missed a lot
ive literally done all i can to explore
only place i cant get to rn is shadow barriers
like how i said
you overlooked so many places while exploring
aint no way
you forgot to notice the other areas which you could go to
Check every room that you donāt have on your map. Look for the open hallways that donāt have the next room filled out
Yes. Literally yes. You overlooked a lot.
You should have a lot more charms with this map, just go around, fight all the bosses and so on
Have you bought out all the shops?
no, should i?
I think ||Failed Tramway with Greed is better||.
it isn't lmao
beat ||colo 2|| as fast as possible
and enjoy big geo
||Greed is useless tbh, use geoswarm rather||
You can get just as much from ||Failed Tramway|| as well.
Poggers


||colo?||
oooooooh
yeah
BRO
WHY IS THERE 2 OHASES
any tips for ||soul tyrant||?
He teleports around a lot so it's quite hard to hit ||spells||, at least for me, so I'd recomend using charms like ||unbreakable strength|| and ||mark of pride||
the first one?
what about me, someone with ||coiled nail, 7 masks, all spells, shadow cloak, all abilities?||
and what ||charms|| should i use for them?
umm
BROOOOO
tbf i have no idea
you have the same if not better stuff than me and i hav done until nr3
really?
cant in a call wih my friend
|| how can i go from tears to fungal wast?||
found it
also after defeating ||hornet in kingdoms edge|| ami supposed to be able to go through shadow barriers?
or when do i get that
you get ||kingsbrand|| after defeating her and then you go to the ||ancient basin|| and open the ||kingsbrand branded door and thats when you can get the shadow cloak and shadow wraiths||
alr ty bro
np
wh is it a maze down there
it shouldnt
You cannot use it for flower
I can't ?
It breaks it
||it feels like my brain is taking a break
I was thinking clear all enemies on the path,
And don't sit at any bench
then return to take the flower and go through path which doesn't have mobs now
The issue was i was thinking of using dreamgate to get back to flower place after clearing the path||
imo just ||stag to the flower place|| and backtrack
