[dense lava]

on my first playthrough lol

it's better now, yesterday i did it ||on steel soul, with these charms||

[mighty lion]

||glowing womb|| 🥀

[dense lava]

i am overconfident, and it's funny

[mighty lion]

[median hornet]

why are the|| bees not bowing to me like mantises||

wait if ||I get that honey charm will they do something||

[dense lava]

cus they ||do not care and also think their queen is still alive i think (ow and they are infected)||

[pale ocean]

||Getting to Fog Canyon because I can't for the life of me beat up those mantis warriors, but the map's stuck behind a black barrier. I know "you're not supposed to be here" is pretty minimal in this game, but am I just not supposed to be here?||

||For context, I only have Hornet's dash||

[mighty lion]

||yes , they are not offensive towards ya with that equipped||

[dense lava]

you just ||can't get the map, but there is more ways to go. The mantis (bos) also isn't necesary now)||

[median hornet]

fr?

[mighty lion]

ya will be able to go there once you get a better upgrade

[dense lava]

i'd ||try to look around in the mantis area then||

[median hornet]

huh? isn't that how you get ||mantis claw||

[mighty lion]

yea lol i found about it yesterday when i was grinding for the ||hunters mark||

[dense lava]

nope ||you get claw before the boss||

[median hornet]

ahh

I'm forgetting stuff

my time has come

[dense lava]

||the boss is technically fullly optional||

[mighty lion]

they my second favourite

[dense lava]

hmm just get beaten out ||by sisters of battle||

[mighty lion]

i didnt get to them yet :(

i didnt go far into ||Pantheon 5||

[dense lava]

they're not that farrr you got that

[mighty lion]

yea

i just got cocky at ||mato and oro||

[dense lava]

ahhh the ||silly little boys||

[mighty lion]

yea

i really like their characters

[dense lava]

[empty sable]

||Massive Moss Charger||

[dense lava]

||MOSSYYYYYYYYYY||

[mighty lion]

[half hornet]

[dense lava]

[half hornet]

oo what kind

[dense lava]

[half hornet]

[tacit mica]

Ye

[stuck heron]

I beat ||pv attuned|| LET'S GOOOOO

[halcyon niche]

||any tips for maintaining health with ummuu in pantheon 3? Because I got to hornet sentinel with low health then died. ||

[pale ocean]

||Okay, so I've explored the mantis place enough to get the bench. I see a mantis village marker on the map, but the place itself seems like it's locked behind a double jump?||

||I did see a orange smoked up grub thing in the path across the bench, but I can't seem to get to it||

||Nevermind, just had to be brave||

[halcyon niche]

?

[mighty lion]

|| slide off the walls when the shocks follow the pattern of where ya've been , get lucky when the shock hit randomly, aim for the jellyfishes to hit uumuu and then spam spells||

[quick solar]

||I’ll also add that you can try dream nailing Umumuu or the jellyfish to get some extra soul, might help for healing. Tbh you just have to play it patient||

[halcyon niche]

||ok thanks I just keep getting close to the jellyfish when I hit them.||

[halcyon niche]

👍

[tired trail]

ok so can someone post a map of all charms in the game?

You can send the map to me if you dont wanna spoil

[short kettle]

Uncheck everything except Charms in the floatbox.

[tired trail]

tysm,

[pale ocean]

||What do the switches at the mantis village open? I've hit both (even the one behind that platforming challenge) but I can't figure it out||

[short kettle]

||There are several doors in the room that need to be unlocked if you wish to descend further. You probably don't notice them cz most of them are after the levers so you've already opened them by the time you reach them.||

[pale ocean]

||Mm. Worked out what the platforming one does, atleast. Opens a big hole in the floor||

||The platforming in this place is so damn punishing||

||I even ran out of healthpacks (flying mantises)||

[short kettle]

Ah I thought you were already through the big hole.

[pale ocean]

||Mm. Lotta switches there||

||But no. Any idea what the far left one in the big hole room does, though?||

[short kettle]

||All of them are for the doors within the room, no extra stuff there. Just don't give up until you're all the way down.||

[viral moat]

help how to ||kill p5ab collector||

it's so difficult

i think i get like halfway through or maybe 3/4 of the way through on my best try

[mighty lion]

didnt get there yet but i think ||nailarts|| spam

[viral moat]

yeah i try that but the|| jars drop|| on opposite sides of the room and i have to use my ||spell|| and then i can't get ||soul ||for a while after that. so if he ||drops three jars twice in a row|| i'm screwed.

😢

[pale ocean]

||I have done it. Mantis Lords reached. Still have to beat them up, though||

||I feel like these attacks aren't too bad to dodge. Skong lady's might have been harder||

||But I'm only dealing with one, it's going to take ages to kill them, and second phase is going to wreck me||

[tired trail]

IS THERE A THE TAX COLLECTOR MOD?

pLEASE GUYS I NEED IT

[mighty lion]

Its my second fav boss fight

[pale ocean]

||It feels like a duel, certainly||

||Dodge, dodge, dodge, parry||

||Feels more like you're tapping them on the shoulder than properly stabbing them||

[mighty lion]

||it feels like a dance and i love it||

[pale ocean]

||The walk back from the bench might have been crafted by one of Satan's bastards, though||

||Why does the game make me spend like two minutes of effort per attempt||

||Also these bitches asymmetric and it is peeving me||

||Put both of your arms up, middle guy||

||Lounge more||

[obtuse lark]

Uh I just found a place called ||Path of Pain|| what exactly is that, and do I have to go through that area to continue the game

[mighty lion]

||Its fully optional , it doesnt give percentage , it doesnt give a resource , its just a platforming challenge for the braver||

[obtuse lark]

Okay, well I'm not going to do that then, I already struggle enough, and I need to finish whatever this parkour monstrosity is 😭

[mighty lion]

understandable

[snow steppe]

your status is pretty funny

[pale ocean]

||I have resorted to dying to the acid near the bench so that I don't have to collect my shade again. By god||

[snow steppe]

what boss

or is it not a boss

[astral hearth]

Nope, I didnt even tried it, a little too much for me lol

[mighty lion]

thanks :p

[pale ocean]

||Mantis Lords||

[snow steppe]

the bench is not that far

[pale ocean]

By god

[mighty lion]

once ya get the rhytm of the fight , your mind will go into auto -pilot while ya do it

[snow steppe]

yea

they have 3 attacks

i think

[mighty lion]

they do

[pale ocean]

The attacks aren't that hard to dodge, yeah

[mighty lion]

and when the ||other two mantis come in the arena|| its even more fun

[pale ocean]

The ||boomerang thingies|| screwed me, but everything else is fine

[mighty lion]

since there are combos that they do

[pale ocean]

Just gotta react faster there

[mighty lion]

those are the easiest 😭

[pale ocean]

The low sweeping ones hit me pretty consistently

I should probably go to the other end of the arena when they pop up on the wall

[mighty lion]

||the blades stagger in the middle too long , jump and go in the middle , they rotate far from the middle , wait for them to get low , then jump||

[pale ocean]

||Oh no, they're not hard to dodge after the first second or so. Not unless I'm stupid and jump straight into it||

||The low sweeping ones just come out quick||

[snow steppe]

||if theyre low on the wall they will shoot it low||

[pale ocean]

||This is good advice||

[snow steppe]

atleast i think

not sure

[pale ocean]

||I think as long as I am not stupid, the first phase shouldn't be too difficult||

||I am not dealing with spells, though||

||I just have to long con it||

[jaunty night]

do it when you are like fully done with the game, it's very fun

[subtle lichen]

I an trying to beat the ||path of pain|| but I can get past the ||last saw blade and wall with thorns part||

[pale ocean]

||"As long as I am not stupid" is the qualifier||

||I have jumped into the boomerang thrice||

||I like the fight, though, even as it kicks my ass||

||Definitely feels very fair. Can't really feel angry about any of the damage I take, because there's always a very clear mistake||

||It says something that I don't feel uncomfortable being at 1hp||

||I mean, is it wise? No. But I don't feel uncomfortable||

[mighty lion]

||in the mantis lords fight just go with the flow , do not look at the HP that often , ya wont be able to heal so dont try to panic heal , their attacks are very fast paced and they WILL catch you off guard||

[pale ocean]

||Yeahh. You can only really heal if you get lucky during the boomerang attack. But otherwise, it's just pure dodging||

[astral hearth]

True, it was fun tho, I dont remember getting too stressed out about this particular boss

[mighty lion]

stressing out on a boss very often isnt a good choice even regarding dificult boses

ya WILL die sometime

just practice until ya learn every pattern

as a wise man said :

"He only has to die once , i can die as much as i need to"

[quick solar]

I’ve had several times where I struggled with a boss, took a break from the game and then came back and beat it incredibly quickly. The right mindset works wonders.

[mighty lion]

its about enjoying the fight , the soundtrack

and seeing how you evolve with the attempts passing by

the frame perfect parry's and the very quick reflexes show the progress in the boss fight

[solid heart]

Use spoiler tags please

||Traitor Lord is built around your shade cloak you just unlocked||

You want to ||dash through his attacks if possible||

Otherwise ||dive is op||

[tacit mica]

Is it me or ||winged nosk feels so tanky||

[shut sparrow]

not really. It has less hp than ||hornet 1 in godhome|| however it might seem tankier since you aren't able to hit it as much

[tacit mica]

I had a feeling

Yeah that makes sense

Unbelievably boring too sorry lol

||i find the normal nosk more fun to fight ngl||

[shut sparrow]

I agree, it is also one of my least favourite fights

[solid heart]

I actually enjoy it quite a lot tbh

I discovered quite a rhythm to it

If you wanna take a look ||https://youtu.be/4qdnJal9RrI?t=16m20s||

[bright sorrel]

[ornate herald]

||Is it possible to get the "DELICATE FLOWER" ending in godmaster gamemode?||

[solid heart]

Please spoiler tags... Everything

But no, you can't

[ornate herald]

Ok sorry. Thanks though

[shut sparrow]

can you please edit your message with two bars on each side || like this ||

[ornate herald]

Ok

||likme this?||

[shut sparrow]

yes

[kindred whale]

||Winged Nosk (Aka vengefly king 2.0) is just annoying in general||

[royal rapids]

and uh, make sure to tag your messages

[kindred whale]

||Try sticking to the ground when possible, jumping only when necessary||

[unique kiln]

ok good to know, thanks

[kindred whale]

Other than that|| it’s really just learning her fight imo, make sure you don’t position yourself in places you will get hit or try heal in dangerous situations||

[unique kiln]

thanks so much

[thick wing]

how do i transfer my xbox hollow knight save on the xbox app to steam

im thinkign ABout getting teh steam version so i can mod the game

[jaunty night]

I'm not sure that's possible

[thick wing]

Idk because some people say it’s possible but nobody knows how

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2609671089 idk if this will work go to the section about transfering

idk if it will work just while trying to find out i foudn thi

[tacit mica]

||easy cheese no effort for the stair lasers phase in absrad please thank you||

[tacit mica]

||because so far this is just pure rng and im not quite fond of rng...||

[jaunty night]

Try || dashing and jumping || that really helps me

[tacit mica]

||oh man i lidewally failed 5 almost successful radiant attempts because of that fuckass phase😔||

||I'll try tho||

[jaunty night]

But seriously || I don't think there's a way to completely ignore the lasers ||

[tacit mica]

||you mean like jump away and dash back to the platform||

[tacit mica]

Ikr

[mighty fiber]

How much do u think silksong will cost

[tacit mica]

1 dolla

[jaunty night]

Idk but that's a question for #sk-discussion

[mighty fiber]

My bad I forgot about it

Cya

[tacit mica]

@jaunty night sorry for the ping

[jaunty night]

It depends on where || the lasers end up ||

Sometimes yes

[tacit mica]

||oh so i wait for the thin laser to appear, and I act upon it?||

[jaunty night]

Yes

You're talking about the || climb right? ||

[tacit mica]

||wouldn't that consume my time, i heard from a lot of people its better to do it fast||

[tacit mica]

mhm

||i also got to the last phase in radiant and died but we do not speak about it||

[jaunty night]

If you're struggling I wouldn't go so fast you have no time to react

[tacit mica]

honestly

Whenever i practice

||in attuned||

||its going well||

||HOWEVER when i switch to radiant its like my first time hearing of this phase||

[jaunty night]

During || pantheon nerves will get you ||

[tacit mica]

||no no not pantheon||

[jaunty night]

Oh

[tacit mica]

||im tryna do her in godhome but in the rad difficulty||

[jaunty night]

Ok that completely different

[tacit mica]

||yeah pantheon panic is also one hell of a||

[tacit mica]

Wait huh

There's a difference??

[solid heart]

No

[tacit mica]

Oh

[solid heart]

Only ||sword rains are 20% faster because Team Cherry||

[tacit mica]

||in pantheons or radiant||

[solid heart]

||radiant||

And it's super weird and dumb. But it doesn't really make a difference

[tacit mica]

ohhhh no wonder it seemed off

[sharp torrent]

sorry huh

[tacit mica]

||Doesn't matter the orbs still touch me||

[sharp torrent]

still can't tell if this is a joke or not

uh at least now I have an excuse for hating the boss

[solid heart]

No, it's for real. Or at least as far as I'm aware

[tacit mica]

||thuzz who ddark for the entire run||

[solid heart]

People in the ||Anyradcord|| were talking about it

[tacit mica]

||people already doing anyrad and im stuck on rad absrad💔||

[solid heart]

Because turns out that speed buff carried to ||AnyRad||

Even 2.0

[tacit mica]

You Wanna know what's funny

[solid heart]

One step at a time

[tacit mica]

She didn't even kill me ||in the last phase||

I DIED ON MY OWN

[solid heart]

Just fell?

[tacit mica]

i panicked and into the void i went

yes

i tried ||pogoing her because that's what i usually do||

||suddenly its my first time pogoing||

PORTAL TO HELL NOW!!

But hey, one day I'll do it (probably)

[solid heart]

Checked again. So only the ||sword rain phase is hard coded to be 25% faster if the difficulty is on radiant||

Talez recorded a video comparison, but it's locked in ||Anyradcord||

[sharp torrent]

||not even ascended, just radiant?||

[solid heart]

Yeah...

[sharp torrent]

i hate it

[tacit mica]

I mean hey

At least its wasn't for another attack

Something something

||add an extra orb make it 5 or something||

[solid heart]

That'd be evil

[tacit mica]

||radiant is evil enough, im kind of surprised that they buffed an attack too||

[solid heart]

This is only true for the phase tho

It's still dumb

[tacit mica]

||i mean doesn't change the fact that the sun ray attack is what i die to the most||

||the stairs phase to be specific||

||the normal sunray attack before the stairs phase is alright, i sometimes die to it tho||

[solid heart]

||Sun ray?||

[sharp torrent]

||stairs?||

[tacit mica]

||when her eyes glow and shoots like 5 beams at once||

[sharp torrent]

do you mean ||climb phase||, or ||platform phase||?

i take that to mean ||plats||

[tacit mica]

||climb phase||

[solid heart]

||beam burst||

[tacit mica]

||no the platform phase is alr||

[tacit mica]

Oh

Not familiar with names my bad

i call things by their visuals

[sharp torrent]

||absrad doesn't shoot beams in a bunch of directions during climb, she only shoots one at a time||

[tacit mica]

no i meant that's|| the phase i die the most to||

[sharp torrent]

anyway uhh
||don't remember tips for absrad except uh probably stay bottom middle it's easiest to dodge attacks there usually||

[tacit mica]

|| ik i mostly suffer on the phase before the last phase||

||either i suck at climbing or rng||

[solid heart]

Well, names are by their visuals
||Beams that come in a burst, beam burst.
Sword burst.
Wall of swords, sword wall
Sword rain
Beam wall
Orbs ||

[tacit mica]

||or both||

[solid heart]

There are many ways to make it consistent despite rng

[tacit mica]

||I knew sword rain, that's probably it lmao but yeah makes sense, oh and the orbs one too||

[tacit mica]

||i watched a LOT of tutorials alright||

||each one says a different tip from the other||

||so my brain completely shut off and im using instinct instead||

||and its because i also panic a lot||

||which why i died when i was a couple hits away in the last phase||

[wet kraken]

I just beat ||the watcher knights and got my second dreamer||

However, I don’t know how to get to the ||dreamer right by fungal wastes and under green path||

[hollow bramble]

u need to unlock abilities to further explore

[torpid drift]

heeelp

[pallid comet]

guys how do you dodge ||master sheo and oro 1-2 slash if i dash away it still hit me and dashing through them makes me hit there hitbox ||

[torpid drift]

im in the colisseum of fools and ive done trial of the warrior 3 times and its not registering it

[hollow bramble]

||if u dash away, it shouldnt hit u.||

[torpid drift]

what can i do. i already logged in and out and its still the same

[hollow bramble]

wdym its not registering

[pallid comet]

the tip does cause ||iframe from shadow cloak just ended||

[torpid drift]

like it wont go to the next trial

it keeps sending me to the same one

[hollow bramble]

care spoilers

||u need to go back to the first room inside the colo and unlcok the next trial||

[pallid comet]

ironic

[hollow bramble]

lmao

[torpid drift]

thanks

[pallid comet]

my heart stopped at multiple occasions

[wet kraken]

Like what abilities?

[hollow bramble]

||send inv||

[pliant mural]

hello! i just bought hollowknight and i am doing my first playthrough rn, like 20 minutes in and i was wondering if i should change my keybinds to something better?

[wet kraken]

I can’t rn, I don’t have my switch

[pliant mural]

ive seen nothing about this game at all

[hollow bramble]

||like movement abilities||

[pliant mural]

im totally blind

so i have no idea if there is like better keybinds or somethin

just not use to arrow keys, should i just leave it default and try to get use to the arrowkeys?

[wet kraken]

But I have all the movement abilities I think, and I have ||descending dark, shade soul, and howling souls (I think that’s what it’s called)||

[hollow bramble]

just play and if u prefer different keybinds change them, i know some people prefer wasd

[pliant mural]

alrighty ty

[stoic cedar]

||i am a keyboard player and I have been using (very close to) default keybinds for my entire playthrough and it works fine. That being said, if u r going to stick close to default keybinds, one thing I would suggest is changing the keybind of the button called “quick cast.” The game doesn’t explicitly tell u that this keybind exists, u have to discover it urself through the keybinds menu. But it will (at least, it should) be smth u r going to use often, and with default keybinds its in a rather awkward spot, so I would suggest putting it somewhere closer to the rest of the keys. I personally swapped the focus keybind and the quick cast keybind but u can deal with it in ur own ways as well||

[tacit mica]

||and I'm still shit in the climbing phase in absrad, is there a cheese to this PLEASE||

||I tried to follow a lot of rhythms, i still get hit||

[livid shoal]

I would say get good at parkour but that's not allowed

||Use Stalwart Shell ig||

[tacit mica]

I dont think this has anything to do with being good at parkour

I cannot react that fast

[tacit mica]

oh

OH

WAIT

you're onto something

oh fuck i would have to sacrifice||shaman stone||

[livid shoal]

What are your charms

[inner robin]

||nooo stalwart shell isn’t worth||

[livid shoal]

Meh

[tacit mica]

Is there a way to do this without having to use a charm, but heres what i use anyways ||unbreakable strength, quick slash, long nail, grubsong, and steady body||

[tacit mica]

Wait noo uhh ||overcharm shaman stone for grubsong because im doing radiant||

[stoic cedar]

||are u filling all ur notches with this build? If so, that means u r missing a notch||

[tacit mica]

||im overcharming||

[tacit mica]

^

[stoic cedar]

||do u have 10 notches or 11 notches? If u have 10, it means u r missing one||

[tacit mica]

||no grubsong i mentioned it on accident||

[tacit mica]

||no no i have all||

yeah i have 10

I MEAN 11

oh my god my brain is fried yeah 11

Wait lemme ss

||no grubsong tho, i switched to overcharm with shaman||

[stoic cedar]

||oh that ain’t long nail, that’s mark of pride||. That was where the confusion came from

[tacit mica]

WAIT DID I SAY THAT

LOL

im actually fried bro

yeah

[tacit mica]

.

[stoic cedar]

||yea that’s good for radiant abs rad, u just need to keep throwing attempts at it. U can also consider replacing mark of pride with soul eater (make sure soul eater is the extra charm in the overcharming if u do this) for a more spell heavy playstyle||

[tacit mica]

||yeah that's why i said if there was a way to do the climbing phase without needing to use a charm lol||

||its where i fail my radiant attempts the most||

||I've gotten pretty fed up, i think i watched all the tutorials on this part||

||slow, fast, follow a rhythm, random bullshit go||

||jumping vertically or dashing||

[stoic cedar]

||the most consistent way is to go in rhythm with the beams. Going slow without strategy doesn’t pan out well since the beams are too random at the bottom, and going fast is not good either cuz, u r just gonna get screwed by rng most of the time||

[tacit mica]

||I see I see, i also heard from someone that the lasers get more accurate when im almost at the top, is that true?||

missed an extra bar there, woops

[stoic cedar]

||yes, the beams get more accurate the higher u go. At the bottom there is a very wide range in which the beams can fire, but near the top all the beams are going to be aimed almost directly at u, since the range is much narrower. This is actually why some ppl have the most trouble with the start of the climb, since the beams are way too random so it’s hard to react to where it’s going to pop up||

[tacit mica]

||I THINK, that explains everything. I think my deaths make sense now, I feel comfortable when im almost at the top, but at the beginning I have a 50/50 chance, and i tend to lose it everytime due to not follow a rhythm because at that point my brain has shut off from every tutorial i have watched||

i see, thank you very much!

[pliant mural]

hey everyone! im 84 minutes into the game now, and I just unlocked || the spell that casts the thingy || just wanted to see if these keybinds are valid or nah? any suggestions to change please tell me as i got these keybinds from the internet.

[jaunty night]

Almost exactly what I use

[pliant mural]

awesome!

just starting using this and it already feels way better than the defau;t

can i just say this game does NOT feel like it came outi n 2017

[fringe wing]

tf is the spell that casts the thingy

WHICH ONE

THERE IS 3 OF THEM

(and 4 if you count dream nail)

haha

beat ya to it

[rich galleon]

"84 minutes into the game" doesn't really leave much room for speculation

[fringe wing]

oh

well

fair enough

[rich galleon]

Also spoiler tags, they clearly stated they are about an hour and a half into the game and seemingly still within ||Forgotten Crossroads||

[fringe wing]

how do i spoiler warning

[rich galleon]

You use || at the start and end of what you're trying to spoiler

[fringe wing]

[rich galleon]

Like this ||Hello, this is a spoiler!||

[fringe wing]

oh there

thanks

||hi||

[harsh kernel]

i tried to actually plan out a route for my speedrun attempts

any tips on how i could optimize this? i’m debating if i make a trip to ||leg eater for fragile greed|| to make getting the ||lumafly lantern|| easier

[fringe wing]

no

i dont personally think greed is worth it

but

then again im not that good at running but

[rich galleon]

(Remember to spoiler tag everything past Dirtmouth!)

[harsh kernel]

with this route i’m also completely skipping ||sly|| until i’m making my way back from the ||city of tears||

so that means no ||gathering swarm||

[fringe wing]

i do the same i never bought gs

tho

[harsh kernel]

with this route i need like 2020 geo to get the ||lantern + shaman stone||

[hollow bramble]

||i used fireborns guide, and there was plenty of time left even after dying like 10 times to bosses||

[rich galleon]

You don't really need to optimize too much if you're doing a speedrun for the Speedrun achievement

[half parrot]

Would you rather fight||ascended nkg or abs rad||

[hollow bramble]

yes theres lots of leeway

[rich galleon]

Spoiler... tags...

[fringe wing]

im not used to doing that

im so sorry

||might wanna route change, if you take the grounds elevator there is some relics on the way to spire then sell to lemm||

no damage done

maybe

[harsh kernel]

i haven’t really memorized the locations on those

[half parrot]

||ascended nkg of abs rad||

[harsh kernel]

think the only one i’ve committed to memory is the one in ||the well you need mantis claw for||

my personal favorite guide

[rich galleon]

I don't think ||Fragile Greed is all that worth it. The set Geo rewards are about good enough for Lumafly Lantern, and it's not like you need to speedrun Crystal Peaks/Deepnest immediately||

[fringe wing]

you can use change it to use qga but

its a good guide to use

[fringe wing]

let me guess

there is a rule that i cant send links and im now gonna get timed out

[rich galleon]

... No?

[fringe wing]

ok good

[harsh kernel]

don’t worry i’ll beat you with hammers anyway

[fringe wing]

didnt read the rules

[fringe wing]

fly you should watch the video

it cant be changed in any way but its a nice guide

can*

CAN* be changed

[harsh kernel]

too late following it to the letter

minor typing error

[rich galleon]

I mean, you can't really compare "speedrunning" the game under 5 hours, and actually speedrunning the game by full speedrun standards

[harsh kernel]

ye the speedrun race i watched once was like an hour and a half

[rich galleon]

It's only really a speedrun in name, but you're just going through the game... slightly faster

The one (and only?) attempt I did at speedrunning for the achievement, I just barely got sub-3 hours I believe.

[fringe wing]

"speedrunning the game" in 5 hours isnt really a speedrun you cant spend time doing other things and still get a good time

tbh

[harsh kernel]

true but my first attempt was a 10:52

so i might just be kinda ass at it

[harsh kernel]

actually i just had a thought; do i even need ||dream nail if i go for bad end?||

[stoic cedar]

||dream nail is required for all non godhome endings||

[harsh kernel]

right right i forgot you need it for the ||dreamers||

doi

[abstract void]

Is it possible to download a save file with ||p4 already beaten|| from somewhere?

[mighty lion]

its more rewarding if you do it yourself

at what part of it aren't you confident

[abstract void]

I've already beaten it myself, I'm away from home rn but wanted to practice some ||p5|| on my laptop, but never transferred my save file from PC to laptop

[mighty lion]

oooooooooh

[abstract void]

So was wondering if any save file with ||p5|| unlocked is available online

[mighty lion]

yea i dont really know

[harsh kernel]

if there’s someone at your house who can send the files to your laptop i think they’re just in steam local files

like a roommate or something

[short kettle]

I can send you one, if you're familiar with what files you exactly need.

[pliant mural]

heya, so i just want to ask something from yall. i want to 100% hollow knight, and Im not any stranger to hard tasks needed to 100% a game. but hollow knight seems like actually hell to do. i 100%ed all resident evil games on steam and I was judt curious how long it might take me to 100% hollow knight? im just playin through my first playthrough blind (somehow i never saw hollowknight spoilers) but after my first playthrough i wanna 100% it according to steam, which means i have to do 112%. idk wtf that means but it sounds scary.

tldr, how long will it take to 100% hollow knight?

[jaunty night]

Over 100 hours

Probably more

If by "100% according to steam" you mean all achievements

[verbal saffron]

thats a reasonable estimate, ||112% is 100% original content + 12% content added in later updates||

[pliant mural]

do you think it might take 200 hours?

[verbal saffron]

less than 200 more than 100 probably

[jaunty night]

Depends on how good you are

How quickly you do ||godmaster||

[verbal saffron]

uncspoilers

[pliant mural]

alright well surprisingly still not the longest 100% that would go to tboi

i know its gonna be probably the hardest thing ive ever 100% tho

also is the dlc the nightmare blood thing? i thought that was music stuff

[jaunty night]

I'm still missing 3 achievements

[jaunty night]

There are 4 dlcs

[mighty lion]

yea its one of the dlc's

[pliant mural]

o dang on steam it only showed the base game, the soundtrack, and one dlc. im still on my blind first play through so did not getting the dlc change anything significantly?

im like 5 hours in

[mighty lion]

what does it show for you in >extras<

[pliant mural]

o i didn’t even click on that

[plucky dome]

The "dlcs" are just content updates, you have them

[pliant mural]

i just selected new game

[pliant mural]

o oke

[jaunty night]

In your main menu what symbols do you have in bottom left

[mighty lion]

ya should have 4

[pliant mural]

uh yea

4

[jaunty night]

Ok yeah you're good

[pliant mural]

alright sweet! well it might take me all of summer but i will 100% hollow knight. alright gn everyone

[mighty lion]

it doesnt really take that much percentage wise

It takes a while but not all summer imo

[abstract void]

Yeah I am

[short kettle]

Well, tell me

[abstract void]

Its the user.dat files in the hollow knight folder

[short kettle]

If you mean the corpse there, that's just a corpse. Ignore it.

Also spoiler tag your images please.

[heavy forge]

oh sorry 😅

[heavy forge]

thank you verry much

[harsh kernel]

if you’ve got a guide 100%ing a save file will take you maybe 15-20 hours tops
in my most recent playthrough i got 80% completion in 10:52

but actual tracked completion isn’t too hard

[simple island]

Getting all achievements does require a handful of playthroughs, 2 or 3
But yeah, the first playthrough to 112% is gonna be some 60 hours
And the remaining achievement hunting is gonna be an extra 15 ish
What I will say is that unlike in a lot of games those extra hours aren’t dumb « find the 17 hidden shits » and I found them fun

[jaunty night]

Unnecessary spoilers here

[short kettle]

A lot of them for that matter. Don't tell them stuff they didn't ask for, people.

[jaunty night]

He just got || vengeful spirit, what are we going to do? Explain every single achievement to him? ||

Let him figure it out on his own

[harsh kernel]

i mean he did ask for how to 100% the steam one

[simple island]

Yeah
If they want all of them they will need multiple playthroughs, the ||choices they do in the first one don’t matter ||

[simple island]

They did not ?
They asked how long it took

[short kettle]

They asked how long it would take.

[coarse dagger]

hi everyone, is there a guide for hk, im returning after a bit of hiatus with this game and i feel kinda lost on what to do

[neat nymph]

i think it will be on yt

[coarse dagger]

a guide for returning players ?

[neat nymph]

idk

[short kettle]

The game doesn't change for returning players

It's the same thing

[neat karma]

If you need help with anything you can ask here and will try to help to the best of our abilities for any questions you might have

[coarse dagger]

well yeah i opened with the last save i had before not touching it

[neat karma]

Better thana generalized huide that might not apply to you and you dont get spoilers you may not want to see

[flint crescent]

What if instead of silk song it was milk song and instead of controlling hornet you’re just a cow

[short kettle]

Try sending screenshot of your inventory page and charms? That should tell us how far into the game you might be.

[coarse dagger]

oh yeah that is for sure

[neat karma]

How long has it been and can you tell us what is in your inventory? If youre early restarting might be good since you dont go too far back, but if not we can help you find your footing and what to do next

[coarse dagger]

oh yeah i can do that just is not english is it ok

?

[neat karma]

Yeah its fine we recognize the thing on there

[fallen heath]

How do ||pantheons|| work

[short kettle]

Spoiler tag, please.

[fallen heath]

Im confused on what they even r

[short kettle]

||Pantheons are boss gauntlets. You need to fight 8 or more bosses in a row in each pantheon.||

[fallen heath]

||whatre bindings||

[short kettle]

||And to unlock one, you must have defeated the bosses in the main game first.||

[neat nymph]

first you need to || kill all bosses in thier locations||

[fallen heath]

Oh

[short kettle]

||Additional constraints you can add to make it more difficult. Each binding gives you a disadvantage.||

[fallen heath]

||arent there 5 of them. I can only see 3 doors||

[radiant raft]

Restrictions like ||less health, less soul, less nail damage and no charms||

[neat nymph]

|| you need to do first 3, then you unlock the 4 and then the 5||

[short kettle]

||The other two are unlocked later when you defeat the first 3.||

[fallen heath]

||do i get smtn for beating them with bindings or can i shamefully beat them without them||

[fallen heath]

Ah

||do i need to do 1st 3 in the order theyre presented||

[radiant raft]

No

[short kettle]

||Do it normally and then you can do it with bindings later on, its pretty hard. Doing a lot of bindings will unlock an advantage for Pantheons later.||

[radiant raft]

But you probably should

[neat nymph]

for me, they are hard even without them

[fallen heath]

||Ill try the pantheons after i kill radiance and tpg||

||i gotta upgrade my nail too i forgor||

[neat nymph]

why ||0 geo||

[fallen heath]

Died me thinks

[neat nymph]

oh

[fallen heath]

Best charm in the game

[coarse dagger]

in fact

[short kettle]

Yeah that's like 2% progress, just create a new save file. You won't lose anything except the chance to learn the basics again.

[fallen heath]

Ik confused

What happened to the guy

[neat nymph]

who

[fallen heath]

||alr has coiled nail||

[neat nymph]

he is right

or you can juts explore

[short kettle]

That's how the game's meant to be played.

There's no singular path you can follow. You might reach any area in any order as you explore and do boss fights in your own order.

[coarse dagger]

where message go ?

[glossy shell]

||I think I used all the simple keys does that mean I can't access the true ending and God home?||

[neat karma]

||No theres always enough||

[simple island]

What is the issue ? I’m confused

[short kettle]

There are enough ||simple keys|| in the game to unlock everything.

[glossy shell]

Oh I could've sworn I used 4 already

[neat karma]

You are decently far on what i consider the starting, semi tutorial phase of the game

[coarse dagger]

so i can possibly face the final bos as it is ?

[neat karma]

Not far enough like to loose to much progress but not early enough for it to be basically a new playthrough

Depends on you, do you wanna restart or try to keep going see if you remember the basics

[neat karma]

Not exactly, its just that there isnt a path you need to follow to eventually reach it

[short kettle]

There are always necessary constraints to not put you in too hard of a spot, so no. But if you think way outside the box, you could fight them way earlier. But that won't happen.

[coarse dagger]

Well im remembering the command and also what killer or not

[lyric shadow]

i hate that fucking place bro

i just lost 3000 creds

[simple island]

To where ?

[lyric shadow]

||soul sanctrum or idk what its called||

[snow steppe]

||soul sanctum|| is not that hard

[lyric shadow]

im just really bad for some reason

[simple island]

Yeah it would have been wise to not go in there with 3k to begin with but
That isn’t really the time to say that
For the future try to only ||sell relics to lemm when you want to use the cash||

You will make your money back don’t worry too much

At least, now that you’ve… lost of all it
You have nothing else to loose so you can keep exploring at your leisure stress free

Pretty sure I also lost my cash first time I went in there

[lyric shadow]

yea i sold them and got that money and im dumb with money so..

[lyric shadow]

true

[neat karma]

lets not forget difficulty is subjective

[lyric shadow]

[noble salmon]

Wat

||crossroads in where you fought false knight||

[lyric shadow]

i meant the ||big husks||

ohh nvm

[short kettle]

Depending on your kit and skill. ||Greenpath|| has one of the best early game geo farming spots.

[lyric shadow]

really?

[noble salmon]

||i think he means moss knights||

[lyric shadow]

that place is hella boring imo

[short kettle]

Yeah, what charms have you got?

[noble salmon]

Room outside ||hornet||?

[short kettle]

Indeed. Close to a bench and 100 geo per run with ||Fragile greed||.

More if you're okay with a slight detour.

[lyric shadow]

i got 4 lmfao

[noble salmon]

Isnt there 3 ||moss knights tho||

[short kettle]

One's in the room right to the other two

[arctic mica]

||does the radiance count as death in steelsoul?||

[fluid garden]

||pretty sure it does||

[short kettle]

Yes

||If a fight sends you back to a bench, consider your steel soul run over.||

[arctic mica]

||ok i wont go for that ending then thanks||

[kindred whale]

dw ||theres some rooms in soul sanctum that are completely overwhelming||

[lyric shadow]

i hate these dudes, they gang up on me 😭

[kindred whale]

yeah i think i know the room you died in lmao

[short kettle]

Oh boy, really suggest backtracking and finding the one shop that will give you one of the best charms in the game for real cheap.

[kindred whale]

theres one in particular that is always difficult

[lyric shadow]

yeah its that one

[lyric shadow]

which shop

[short kettle]

||Back in forgotten crossroads. You must have seen a ledge you couldn't climb, and a pink glow on the other side. You can't access it without dash, so now you can.||

[lyric shadow]

ohh i did access it but after i died and lost all my geo lol

[short kettle]

Buying stuff there is a good idea

||Shaman Stone will help you immensely.||

[lyric shadow]

yeah i haerd that

||im thinking of buying the charm spaces thingies idk what they are called lol||

[mighty lion]

they are called ||charm notches||

[lyric shadow]

oh yeah ty

[short kettle]

||Yeah, buy the notch and the shaman stone||

[lyric shadow]

[median hornet]

[ebon copper]

[median hornet]

||something related to lifeblood? i saw the butterflies||

[ebon copper]

you are indeed missing something to activate that

[median hornet]

ah okayy

[median hornet]

what about this?

[ebon copper]

did you see how many markers were on that?

[median hornet]

huh?

[ebon copper]

[arctic mica]

is this good for a first speedrun?

[median hornet]

ohhh

how to get that much ||lifeblood||

[short kettle]

Show your charms

[median hornet]

||joni's+lifeblood heart gives like 12?||

[short kettle]

And ||how many masks do you have?||

[short kettle]

And ||fragile heart||

[median hornet]

8

[short kettle]

That should get you 15

[digital kite]

||is there any way to eliminate grey prince zote from the game||

[median hornet]

oh didn't even know that ||fragile heart gave you lifeblood|| lol

l

[digital kite]

i HATE him

[short kettle]

No, ||just ignore him if you don't wanna fight him||

[digital kite]

too late

[median hornet]

beat his ass

[digital kite]

i cant

[short kettle]

||heart increases base masks, joni converts total health so yeah||

[median hornet]

you got this

[median hornet]

ohh

[short kettle]

||Once you're in the room, there are two items to pick. If you pick one before the other, it locks you out of the room forever and you can't get the other item which is a relic. So try pickining up the relic first.||

[median hornet]

sigh

I DIDN'T SEE YOUR MESSAGE

ÆÆÆÆÆ

[short kettle]

Oh well

[lyric shadow]

should i buy

i got 1200 geo

[short kettle]

Depends on how many of those you have currently

[lyric shadow]

i got this much

[short kettle]

Have you bought the ||lumafly lantern?||

[lyric shadow]

nope

[short kettle]

Save for that. You can't explore areas without that, areas that will give you those items as rewards too.

[lyric shadow]

ok

[median hornet]

i got that ||charm only||

[jade sedge]

Please add spoiler tags to your message

Same for you, spoiler tags please

[urban saddle]

No, the ||bank lady is in fog canyon||

[lyric shadow]

oh yeah i forgot im sorry

[median hornet]

[jade sedge]

Thanks

[lyric shadow]

ok tysm

[urban saddle]

Your welcome

[lyric shadow]

how can i get up there, ||cause for some reason i died there and my soul got behind that rock thing not where im standing rn||

[frank minnow]

different entrace through another area, weird how your shade ended up there though

[lyric shadow]

yeah its weird and okay i will try to figure it out ty

NOOOOOOO

im done

[short kettle]

How much geo does it have

Have

There's still a way

[lyric shadow]

like 2k+

[short kettle]

Do you have an ||empty key and a rancid egg|| in your inventory

[lyric shadow]

i died again 😭

[short kettle]

Oh, rip

[lyric shadow]

||key, no but i ahve a rancid egg||

[short kettle]

Well it doesn't matter if you died again

Now your ||shade|| doesn't have any money

[lyric shadow]

yeah

im really done for today im not gonna touch that game again for 3 days or more

[short kettle]

Next time, if you think you're about to die, just pause the game and exit to main menu.

[short kettle]

Eh, it happens. You don't have to worry about money just yet.

[lyric shadow]

does that spawn u back in a bench

[short kettle]

Yes

You'll have to do it before you lose your last mask though.

So if you're down to one mask in a tough situation and don't wanna lose money, better not risk it and quit back to menu.

[lyric shadow]

ohhh thats smart

thank you

[pale ocean]

||I did the first Mantis Lord hitless, and then died to the second phase||

[sly rune]

I didn't know there were people in HK.

[pale ocean]

||I have died, and hear one of the scream in pain. The screen is shaking at the bench. I think one somehow died after me?||

||Hmm. I might need to learn how to dash from muscle memory||

||It's pretty easy to get cornered, and then a double attack from them just screws you||

||I'll need to dash away when I see that||

||It's a little unfair, though, because the one that just downward slashed takes a bit to go away||

||I guess I could dash toward the spikes and then walljump? But I'm not that level of cracked||

[wet kraken]

What are you trying to beat?

[pale ocean]

||Mantis Lord||

[short kettle]

||It just requires precise movement, but staying in the center shouldn't be that hard. The mantis dashes are easy to jump over while staying in a place and the dive is usually where you dash but there is usually enough time to dash right back to the center as well.

The projectile attack from the walls is your window to heal, especially when they do the one where both the discs stick together. Staying right in the middle of the arena will prevent you from taking damage.||

[pale ocean]

||Anyway, disregard all of that. I learned nothing, and nothing was enough||

||I am filled with the power of unearned respect||

[wet kraken]

Do you have ||the nail upgrade?||

[pale ocean]

||I went and got it before this, yeah||

[short kettle]

||Lol, nice. Get your overpowered charm, its gonna help you a lot.||

[wet kraken]

Just play a few rounds to learn their patterns and get good at dodging. When you feel confident in your abilities, then start actually fighting them

[vast heath]

@short kettle i just wanted you to know that i beated || NKG ||, thanks for the help with the build

[short kettle]

Congrats! Happy to help.

[median hornet]

how to kill ||markoth ||

[kindred whale]

Uhh

Lots of suffering

And pain

[median hornet]

how much|| essence||

[kindred whale]

||Like 200-300 i think||

[median hornet]

i do alright until he brings up ||two shields and spears||

[kindred whale]

||Idk definitely not 100 tho from what I remember||

[median hornet]

then i can't hit and dodge

[kindred whale]

||Just stick to the ground mostly honestly||

[median hornet]

||horizontal spears ||are a pain

won't even see them coming

[kindred whale]

That is true

[median hornet]

yea so it's just a skill issue?

[kindred whale]

||markoth is widely accepted as a really annoying boss||

||in the pantheons he’s pretty much just an unfair fight||

[median hornet]

what's that

uhh nvm

[kindred whale]

You’ll find out about it later but it isn’t something core to the story

[median hornet]

ah okay

I'm gonna die again until I get mad

[kindred whale]

Try using ||spells|| as much as possible

Makes the fight faster

[median hornet]

i can't even heal

[rich galleon]

I haven't played for a while, but from what I can remember, ||you should absolutely not heal outside of the spinning shields attack||

[median hornet]

yea but the|| shield|| keeps hitting me too

[rich galleon]

Maybe you should use ||the Quickfocus charm, then? I believe you can be a decent distance away and have time to heal before it reaches you, but Quickfocus could help.||

[dawn grove]

||Get out of its range and then heal||

[median hornet]

ah okay

thanks

y'all

[half hornet]

charms for ||nosk|| please my ||shade|| is stuck there

[daring moat]

||shaman stone, mark of pride and soul catcher can let you get some safe hits off and launch strong spells which is better till you have fully upgraded nail||

||quickslash would be good if you were already good at the boss but you're not gonna be getting those extra hits off realistically||

||you can do the strat of standing in the corner of the ledge in the arena, it tends to make the fight pretty simple||

[rich galleon]

If you use ||spells, I would recommend Shaman Stone - Spell Twister - and then either Mark of Pride or Quickslash||

[rich galleon]

(But of course, you probably don't wanna backtrack with your shade still there)

[daring moat]

i dont see no ||spell* twister||

[rich galleon]

Oh yeah I got the name mixed up

[daring moat]

i must be blind or smth bcz i cant see ||spell twister there||

[rich galleon]

Yeah I was going to say to backtrack for it, but that's probably not worth the risk of losing the shade with however much geo it has

[half hornet]

yea im using ||shaman, quick slash, and sharp||

[daring moat]

err
sure ig

[formal dust]

||I lost in p5 because of stupid markoth||

||why did they have to make the arena groundless aaaa||

[autumn gull]

Hello can Someone Help me I was just playing my first playthrough in the mushroom thing and the i went to the right where hornet appears and i do all the parcour stuff and put the city emblem in but then i am trapped i searched for abt 1hour and just found a new needle idk how to get out

[kindred whale]

What are you trying to do?

Also put any game stuff in spoilers

[autumn gull]

get out of the city and fight whatever boss is in the mushroom thing

[kindred whale]

Otherwise then a mod will delete it

[autumn gull]

how

[kindred whale]

|| <— put these at the start and end

[mighty lion]

" || " at the start and end of a sentence

yea

[autumn gull]

ok thanks

[kindred whale]

||you get out of the city of tears by climbing the building lemm is in, you can get there by using the big elevator you came down into that big main area and jumping to your right to some platforms, go from there||

[fringe wing]

||dream boss?||

[fringe wing]

how do you know which one hes talking about

is it ||elder hu||

or ||mantis lords||

||also the ways to get out of city in general is just the stag, elevator or the dive area above the fungal entrance||

[autumn gull]

idk its my first playtrough and i've watched zero vids

||i am at the stag but bc i died in the room with the 4 flying things my coins despawned||

[kindred whale]

||I don’t, but I know that in any case he has to go that way||

[kindred whale]

||He can’t access those without going around or going through soul sanctum first||

[fringe wing]

1 of them dont need ss

[fringe wing]

if you dont have ||desolate dive|| then you should just keep trying to get to stag

[hollow bramble]

[hollow bramble]

[hollow bramble]

[wet kraken]

||Fog canyon and royal waterways||

[teal oracle]

||ok so you shouldnt worry about the shade cloak for a while, you are not very close to it. for now focus on js playing the game normally, you have many areas to explore||

[hollow bramble]

agreed

[wet kraken]

Oh, and the one that ||the team brings you to the right from ancient basin||

I’m just now going there though

🔹 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.

[fringe wing]

ok thank you

[frank minnow]

s

need tips for ||markoth white defender and sheo||

despairge

[acoustic sigil]

Acronyms also need to be spoiler tagged

[frank minnow]

but then how will people know what its spoilering

first time players wont even know what ||hog|| stands for so its not much of a spoiler for them

[acoustic sigil]

People shouldn't click on spoiler tags not directed towards them if they aren't done with the game

They also don't know what ||absolute radiance beaten with sharp shadow|| means but that also needs to be tagged

[frank minnow]

mkay

[acoustic sigil]

And you can and up in this situation

[frank minnow]

thats fair

[acoustic sigil]

||Sheo is probably the easiest out of those, look at the brush which attack he'll do next||

And use|| ddark i||f its an attack you can't get out of the way from.

[neat karma]

🫵 🥫 & ⬆️

[frank minnow]

tbf i didnt practice him at all ||i just found his flying projectiles annoying||

same with ||wd the poo balls bouncing all around makes me nuts||

Makes a bit more sense now

[quick solar]

||I’ve found nailmasters glory does very well against Sheo. Move back and great slash against the red attack, dash slash does well into everything else. Plus if you shade soul right after he attacks, he’ll often jump back and you’ll get a multi hit||.

[frank minnow]

interesting

||ive never really implemented nail arts in my gameplay besides colo||

maybe i could give that a try

[quick solar]

||As for Markoth, tbh the only consistent strategy is to stay away from him, focus on dodging nails, and attack during shield spin. Either dash slash or pogo two or three times. Same strategy for phase 2 except you use shade soul and get double hits. You should have enough to finish him with just spells if you double hits||.

It’s a game of patience

[graceful quartz]

Hey, just wanted to double-check something. Does dying in the ||Pantheons/Godhome|| count for the purposes of a ||Steel Soul|| run?

[stoic cedar]

||godhome is completely safe for steel soul||

[graceful quartz]

Thanks!

[short kettle]

Nope. If it doesn't send you to a bench, you're safe.

[graceful quartz]

That's a good way of knowing the edge cases. I'll keep it in mind!

[willow pond]

||whats the best mage build for trial of fools||

[short kettle]

||Shaman Stone, Spell Twister, Soul Eater, Dream Wielder, Grubsong|| I'd say.

||Shielded Fools and Mistakes can be farmed for unlimited soul whenever left alone in the arena.||

[willow pond]

aight thanks

[subtle lichen]

I literally died at the last ||kingsmould||

[acoustic sigil]

At least the 2nd time is much faster

[short kettle]

Spam ||ddark. You should have full soul meter anyway. Easy win. ||

[subtle lichen]

Thanks...

I am gonna try again

[short kettle]

Good luck!

[pale ocean]

||I am now stuck on Soul Master||

||This fight is... something||

||I think I will have to finally get a hand on dash controls, maybe||

[short kettle]

||That's the one to teach you that you won't get far by expecting to stay on the ground and hitting enemies haha.||

It's hard at first but it'll teach you way better control over everything at your disposal. Just go in with the best charm build you can.

[pale ocean]

||Maybe I'll try Longnail+Mark of Pride||

[inland juniper]

?

[pale ocean]

||Abusing Shaman Stone is probably the best bet, but||

[short kettle]

Renaming slots should work but backup the folder just in case.

[short kettle]

What ||spells|| do you have?

[pale ocean]

||Literally just Vengeful Spirit||

[short kettle]

||Hm. You have enough abilities to find another if you care to go look for it.||

[pale ocean]

||Where so? As far as I see, the only real place to go from here is Deepnest||

[neat karma]

Thats indeed all it takes, wouldnt hurt to make a backup though

[inland juniper]

I actually have no idea where the save file is

[short kettle]

||What areas have you accessed so far?||

Not there. Go to your AppData folder > LocalLow > Team Cherry.

[inland juniper]

These?

Wait

[short kettle]

||Fog Canyon|| is where its at. Its not that big, you won't have trouble finding it. Most rooms are ability gated there.

[short kettle]

Yes

[inland juniper]

Oh

How would I make backups?

Just copy the folder?
