you should stop playing online smash
no offense, but this information has been offered many times
No :3
so peaker,s,,
Probably cause it works
๐
sometimes
||the shield keeps hitting me randomly when it spins||
It usually has a pattern it follows, iirc it's clockwise
It goes out, then back in
I thought it was counter
|| myla best character frfr so sad ||
Wrong
nuh uh
Then get fully out of range from it if you have trouble estimating how much it moves out per circle
yea I just needa get the spacing right
idk, I don't know directions
The best character is obviously none of them
doesn't matter all that much, but u are right
Nyehehe
bru it was so sad
Wait, does the shield move clockwise or counter?
it's all spacing that is so hard for me ;-;
I thought it was clockwise
I've been fighting this boss for the past hour. It's counter
no its clockdumb

im abt to fight it again so I can confirm
what boss macaron?
||markoth||
im gessing thats ||dlc||
Nope, it's in main game, the actual boss
rlly?
What shes doing is dlc however
the version im fighting rn is dlc
Ye
oh wait is it in || the hive|| or is that ||dlc too?||
||Markoth really said: Hippity Hoppity, your floor is now my property||
way to uncspoilers
||The Hive is dlc, and no, it's in Kindgom's Edge||
anyway dont worry much about labeling stuff dlc or not because theyre not dlcs theyre updates
fr lmao
||any tips for what i should do currently? i am doing steel soul but i am not sure what to do||
technically not
oh...
I mean, they asked
||theres a difference between saying markoth is base game and saying that theres a different version added post release||
True, ||Hive was added kinda early as part of a QoL update||
theyre all updates none are dlc
ohhh
||the hive was not added by an update either||
No, it was in the game from the start
this is why i hate calling updates dlc
||Hive knight|| was added later
Ah, I see
In any case
Understandable, my apologies
What do you have atm
yeehaw btw thommie
|| i may have deleted my old save because im relativly new to the franchise had it for about 3 months but can u get out of the black egg in the ending where u take his spot?||
Yes
Yeehaw indeed ๐ค
||one nail upgrade 1 pale ore 7 mask all spells||
||no ending deletes your savefile you just go back into it and it puts you before the fight||
||All endings put you before you actually do the ending||
And abilities?
no i mean after
i deleted it
Could probably get|| wings ||
alr
||Yes, but the you can still play the game after the ending ||
And then start clearing the map systematically since you have most relevant stuff
||if i die in a dreamworld do i lose my save||?
oh ||would it still be infected croosroads?||
yes
bru
||Dreamworld do not count as death except 2 places||
what places
I hate the dumb ||Steroid flys||
||White Palace and radiance||
Yeah
||wait i cant die in wpalace||?
Well you can
oh damn
In ||steel soul no||
It just doesn't end pretty
If you do, rip
wait ||Do u get the sealed siblings ending from fighting hornet twice or smth else?||
The ||failed Radiance ending||
๐
oh
Instead of ||dnailing THK, keep attacking||
bru ive only had hk for 3 months
Dw, that's what we here for
Any questions that need answering
Anyways time to go

||frick markoth||
i agree
Understandable
Mmm, yummy
||yeah and he also got more health||
time to take a break and practice driving on highways :D
um
bai
||probably from snacking on the floor||
if he was a fun fight then it would make it so much more bearable
unfortunately that's foreign language to him
||ive radianted nkg but cant fucking do ascended markoth||
how did one of my masks turn into ||lifeblood||
||Most likely from the lifeblood from getting some bindings for the Pantheons||
That or ||from some charms that give extra lifeblood masks||
bruz ||how do u even get to godhome||
||dafaq but he has 8 masks instead of 9||
He might not have all ||masks||
oh yeah
||Royal Waterways||
|| Zote is just that cool ||
confused me for a sec
||i have no bindings or lifeblood charms, also the mask doesnt go away on bench it just stays behind my normal mask||
Glitch mayhaps?

||royal waterways is insanely small how????||
yes its pretty cool
secret path
||Bottom left iirc||
explore more
Indeed
|| bur i thought it was only for dung boy and ismas tear||
theres a bit more
ima have to grind my new save file
what does one do for his ||second phase||
the spam is too much
Double fr
||Save up soul from the first phase and light him up with fireballs||
am i dumb for thinking that ||godhome was in the black egg :p||
ok
i found ||mmc hard|| its okay
do most ppl play on steam?
what game
Eh, it varies
Hk
hk
makes sense
yea probably
i feel like most ppl do
nintendo obviously doesnt
if i had hk on the switch 2 my switch would get deactivated
and modded
Lets gooooo
gl
shabash
what was your loadout?
||dude sharp shadow goated frfr||
||but markoth is like 10x harder||
||where is the third pale ore i got the first two but the third i have no clue||
U reckon I could beat|| nosk||
tag that
True I forgot that
yeahhhh
Which one u have?
||nos|| one and i cant remember the other one
||collusiem?||
Send map
Yeah I know that way too well
Well have u done all ||grubs||?
nope i really dont feel like having ||grub father eat them|| ๐
||they donโt get eaten!!||
||he helps them get to the butterfly stage of their lives ||
But u get one from him
Nice
Phone ๐
if bad quality srry but i can prove i beat ||the hollow knight||
do i do /spoiler for pictures?
||second godhome one||
||Gotta give delicate Flower to Godseeker for the other godhome ending||
But it barely changes
And beat it all again?
how do i put spoilers on photos on mobile?
I believe when sending the photo, click it and checkmark the spoiler box
That, or hold it to bring that option up
I think it's also in pins
Yeah, it's in a pinned comment
Not the best place to discuss the ending, but yeah
Yeah it's kinda unnecessary spoilers
I was talking to u tho
I was talking about bibi
Ik, but discussion about it in here isn't the greatest, since it could be considered unnecessary spoilers
yeah
It's better to go to the main hk channels
Ill delete it just in case
Aight
||dang pure vessel is hard as hell I just beat nkg and thought that this would be a walk in the park||
haha, no
How do i make a ||dream portal what ever its called||
Do you already have the ability and are just asking how to use it?
Press the button for it and hold down
And to transport to it you have to press the same button but hold up
Oh i thought i did sorry
Np
hk music goated frfr
Yeah, to place one, it's the button and down, to use it, the button and up to go to it
especially ||the hollow knight's theme||
Indeed
So to leave ||the pantheon place|| i need to use one
Nope
Just go back to where you entered
||the hive knights theme is a banger||
All themes are bangers
frfr
||bzzzzahhhhhh||
No just go all the way to right where you started and you can find a glowing light to leave
Oh alright but how do i go back to the ||pantheon place|| i forgot
Go to the same place again
||Dnail the godseeker||
From the ||real world||
on youtube theres this guy and he did a ||grim troop piano cover and it is awesome||
The place under ||city of tears||?
||resting grounds?||
Indeed
No, ||waterways||
ohhh
||Resting gounds is right of city iirc||
If I recall correctly
Isn't it above?
Wait for some reason i donโt have the ||beat the game at 112% and beat the game at 100% achievements||
For those, you need to ||do one of the endings||
||what have u not done?||
After getting the ||percentages||
Oh alright
Yeah, it's kinda silly you ||need to beat the game after you did it||
||in this save file theres one mistake im not doing not saving cloth frfr||
Why?
i just need the ||achievment||
How long does ||112%|| usually take
thats why
Oh, there's an achievement to not?
Well, depends
idk i thought there was
I'll have to check
ttheres one for doing it so
way too varied
First play through
some people do it in like 15 hours some do it in 70
Indeed
so yeah, it varies
My first playthrough took 70 hours(in counting)
I think it took me like 25 to ||beat the game|| then 15 for ||112||
im surprised ||hunters journal is not required for 112||
i suppose most people dont wanna ||go back and kill a certain amount of every single enemy in the game||
yeah that makes sense because u cant get the ||normal gruzzers after u get infected cross||
Its wierd how ps hollow knight is easily to platinum then steam with all the achievements
for some reason the platinum removes mostly achievements that require two playthroughs
idk if its something about playstation or not
Its a 9/10 difficulty score without them
10/10 if there were ||speedrun and soul steel||
Trophies
||it doesnt even have steel soul?||
There is but no trophy for it
||what is steel soul for all nail upg?||
||well if ps forced them to that its stupid because a crap ton of AAA ps games have a "beat the game again in the next difficulty" trophies||
Yeah your right most ps games have trophies of beating the hardest difficulty of games instead of more than 1 play through
i call it stupid because often time said difficulty requires you to beat the game to unlock it
||it's funny because PS is the only one that doesn't have speedrunner and Steel soul achievements||
so the fact ||that they didnt even let tc do that is dumb||
Xbox has?
yes
Iirc ye
even switch does and switch doesnt have achievements
Switch, steam, XBox all have them
It has "quests"
I beat cuphead 300% on switch i got all the achievements but there were achievements in the game and not the Nintendo software does hollow knight have the same thing?
yes
bru cuphead 300% is pain on my thumbs
The only bosses i had trouble with were the scientist with the robot and the chef on expert
I think it took me like 50 lol
lol
this is hk help i just remembered
its overhated tbh
we should take this discussion somehwere else
Oh yeah lol
I didnโt use lobber againt him i used charge and tracer so i can dodge the attacks while hitting him on the second phase
Cuphead?
For?
||Spell||
|| i dont even have dash yet but i need the mask shard frfr||
Well first off, they are completely optional, if you want to, you can leave them for later
As for the ||fight itself it is a lot of hit and run, you really cannot stay close to them for long
You get in, get one hit, maybe two, then walk away
If they jump you can heal after they land back in the center
When they do a large spit you can jump over them to safety, maybe pogoing on the way (and if you are fast enough you can heal for one too)||
tbh ||this isnt going to be easier than going to get dash||
Try to not greed heals too much btw
Like usually just standing in a corner and healing lets you get away with it
But just waiting for them to jump is usually gonna be better
Yay I just wrote some text for no reason
hello bird
This is borderline trolling 
you are not beating him, justโฆ give up and go get ||dash|| please 
dang
||He doesn't even have dash yet how is he gonna have access to hog||
||another save file maybe, I think from an early convo he said he knows what howling cliffs maybe he's farther along in another file||
deleted btw
in my prev file || i beat the hollow knight but i deleted it because i was dumb :P||
|| i would rather fight mawlek than a primal aspid||
oop, better put the brackets on the other side too
epic spoiler fail
MB
stroke moment lmao
'slong as nobody new saw it :D
but fr its so true
that wasnt so hard
have u ever thought that ||saving grubs is kinda like holding them for randsom?||
Actually the worse boss in the game
Nice ๐ฅ
a lil bit
||it was mostly just me genuinely locking in to get a few hits that I needed at the 2nd phase bc the soul wasn't enough||
Time for ||radiant||
absolutely fricking not
||gonna practice absrad and if I can get 3 clears in a row ill try for ascended on that||
||markoth so pmo he doesnโt let me get to absrad||
fairr
||charm build aquired||
i would like advice
very much so
just ask
does anyone know how to make a screenshot? im dumb :p
me when google
some people like organically learning info from other people ._.
ikr
:p
fair
is a horrible company now :D
lol its kinda relevant its for the meme category im just kinda dumb :p
ill just alt f4
about the same thing
||ascended markoth||
this is about all I got lol
||and the build I used was strength, qslash, shaman stone, gsong, and nailmaster's glory||
admins, please, help
how to fix corrupted save file ๐ฆ
was doing achivement 100% at less than 20 hours, duo with hkmp and my friend go crushed and hes save got corrupted (moment he was taking reward for killing gorb)
both are steam vers
please ask in #1057825333841240104 given that this save corruption was caused by a mod
it is not caused mod
pc that using my friend got no space
somehow it crushed due to space while we was playing
well that makes sense
theres no storage to save the game after reward so it crashed
||How to deal with Husk Miners||?
Iโm a new player btw.
well you could just run away from them
They keep ending my attempts at exploring ||Crystal Peak|| ๐ญ.
๐ Oh okay
any reccomendations how can i fix a corrupted file?
alternatively hitting them once and then running away and repeating works
dw, theres a bench in || crystal peaks ||
you just have to explore a bit
actually 2 benches
use ||spells. If u don't have soul or need it for healing watch out for the thrown pixkaxes while slowly approaching. Once you get closer they will start swinging their pickaxe normally so try to get in a hit and then move back a bit to dodge potential attacks and repeat until they're dead||
also, || you can hit the pickaxes away from you ||
Thanks to both of you ๐ !!
This is probably going to get me spoiled, but I remember fighting ||Hornet|| in ||Greenpath|| (I think), and then I saw her somewhere else, also in ||Greenpath|| I think. I canโt find her since then. Does anyone know if she is in there or one of the surrounding areas? I wanted to see what would happen if I fought her again. Or if fighting is even the second phase of her presence.
|| there is a place you can see her in the fungal wastes, and again in a region that you can reach from fungal ||
is hollow knight a story game
||shes generally just present around the game||
yes
its a metroidvania
Lowkey if i wanna do ||pantheon 5 with all bindings, which one do i start with||
it has a story yeah but you dont need to know or understand it to enjoy the game
nail
||is it because its the easiest? I was lowkey thinking of the masks one because it kinda seems the hardest, so i can get rid of it first||
||when u say p5 with all bindings, most ppl will understand that as all at once. usually u would say individual bindings or each binding||
easiest
the hardest is || soul or charms ||
||yeah i meant individually||
but would u consider it to have a story and also be a game?
it has a story and it is a game
||wow not even the masks one? like two hits from absrad or any 2 mask boss and you're dead, idk||
id consider it to be mid
||sure I'll start with the nail ig||
||heart is strongly recommended for shell binding||
||ohhh nvm, i see now||
||I totally didn't have all bindings in mind by accident when i said i wanted to do them individually lol||
||alr I'll probably start with the nail then||
||and honestly i havent done any bindings on any pantheon yet, i wanna start with pantheon 5 because its the hardest then i can do the rest because they're easier||
||doing individual bindings on earlier pantheons is good practice for p5 individual bindings, but tbh if u have the skillset to beat p5, its not that big of a skill gap to beat p5 with individual bindings, at least not as big as most ppl think||
||yeah i have no problem with the last 3 bosses in p5, (nkg, pv and absrad) i might die on some other random bosses by accident like markoth, no eye and stuff||
||its not whether i have the skill or not i just wanna get rid of it first so i can do 1-4 without worrying about anything lol||
no it isnt dont be lying now
a story is a driven narrative with characterisation, hollow knight only has drops of lore scattered across the game, making it more like a platformer with exploration rather than a driven story
||well as i said earlier its good practice to do bindings on earlier pantheons, and also another important thing to consider is that the lifeblood from earlier bindings can also help a ton in p5 individual bindings, especially shell binding||
||hmm, good point||
||yeah i guess I still need lifeblood||
||heard it was useful||
never let bro cook again ๐ญ ๐
||speaking of that, should i also start with radiant hall of gods or pantheon bindings||
||i find that the harder the challenge is (as long as the challenge isnt like hitless or smth where the lifeblood is completely useless), the more useful lifeblood is. like for regular p5 lifeblood is not entirely that useful since theres so many healing opportunities anyways, but for smth like p5 shell binding or perhaps p5 soul binding it starts to become more useful since u have less max hp (shell binding) / less healing opportunities (soul binding) and lifeblood is good for the cushion it provides in case things goes badly right off the bat. and then u get into things like p5ab where lifeblood is really useful||
||yeah that makes sense, but if im being honest, if i suck at a certain boss I just tank it, so i guess tanking isn't a choice when i have the shell binding, i used to tank some bosses like lost kin, white defender||
||for me personally, i did all pantheons with individual bindings, then radhog, then all bindings. but its up to u, p5 individual bindings and radhog are similar skill level i would say. but definitely leave all bindings afterwards, its harder than the first two i listed||
||wait there's a difference between all bindings and individually?||
||by all bindings, i meant doing all bindings at once on all the pantheons.||
||wouldn't both give the weathered mask in journal or something||
||yeah i know, im asking if that changes anything or gives a different reward||
I have fought a few of those guys
nope, ||the only "reward" that all bindings gives is a glowing effect on the binding caps above the pantheon. usually its a brown metallic color but if u do a pantheon with all bindings at once theyll all glow brightly instead||
Something to do with ||dreams||, I forgot ๐
||ohhh wait that's interesting, but yeah i would never be able to do all bindings at once lol||
||that's just beyond my skill level ngl but that's impressive that you did all of that||
though i don't brag about stuff but i would feel good about myself
For like a week and i will forget about it
that's what im saying
Its the same about everything else i have done in the game ngl
So I dont think it'll do much for me, looking at how impressively difficult it is to ||do all bindings at once in p5||
play a different game
I do dw its just like that with hollow knight for some reason
||well i mean i didnt start out having the skill level needed to beat p5ab, its just a matter of how much time u r willing to spend in the game. im quite passionate about the game so i didnt mind spending the approximately 200 or so hours needed to beat p5ab||
||oh my god congrats dude, you totally deserve it||
||it not like i wanna play hollow knight a lot, well i do but I'll probably get bored and my passion to do radhog or pantheon bindings will die out||
How do my charms look? New player ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ.
Absolutely Shit
||yeah its a terrible feeling, I've gotten that in a lot of games before, I've lost passion in certain grinds, but i still feel passionate about grinding radhog and stuff for now||
yea that is normal, i mean most ppl stop right after getting all achievements so by continuing to grind the game after that, u r past the skill level of a lot of players already
Honestly i wouldn't be able to tell, since im only doing it for fun, like whenever I'm free i hop on, i do a couple bosses, maybe on other difficulties as well and i call it a day
Its already been long since i have finished the game itself, im just looking into the extra content, and ||radhog, p5 bindings being an example||
well if u on pc and u get bored of vanilla content, theres always modded content. for example, randomizers can be a great way to freshen up the vanilla experience by putting u in situations u would never face in normal gameplay
||unfortunately i would love to, but my circumstances didn't allow me a device that supports the game, so im "illegally" playing the game, also known as a mobile port, but I'll definitely buy the game as soon as i get a device that supports the game, so far this game deserves my life savings, modding sure sounds awesome, and i have no problem redoing all my progress since mobile doesn't save anything at all, but i would gladly buy the game on a supporting device if i ever get the chance to in the close future hopefully||
Also im just realizing i keep spoiling unnecessary stuff lmao
call it a muscle memory or something
Aw man ๐ข
I havenโt played that much :/. I donโt really know anything about the game, but I wanted to avoid spoilers.
No problem with that, everyone starts like that
just go with anything other than the ||dreamshield||
||godseeker wondering wtf this bug is doing dream nailing her every five seconds while i'm trying to get this secret transition
||
got it
I need help to ||master the pure vessel fight so I can do P5 to unlock absrad fight||
||any tips for the fight?||
how do I censor my message
||like this||
|| do these
thank you guys so much I appreciate it
||pogoing thus parrying his triple hit combo is more reliable than cloaking through him for me||
is there anything I can do reliably and like constantly cuz I have kinda been winning through rng
||be ready to jump and dash, like be proactive with him. he's the fastest boss in the game and ou really have to be READY to react. whenever you train your eyes and brain enough to react to certain attacks the correct wayy its super easy||
||and use double range charms, it helps a lot||
thanks ill keep that in mind
||mark of pride and long nail???||
obv
||reacting is the way, don't try to hit unless you know your windows, or you're gonna get hit||
it's just the go to shit you never take off tbh
I dont use ||Lnail thats why but I tried using mop||
makes sense
Depends on your reaction time
well then it's time to start using it lol
yeah im def gonna try it out now
yeah that fight is RNGless. completely
I react pretty fast and never really had a problem with || pv ||
you need to correctly respond to his attacks
learn the telegraphs, there's 0 RNG in the fight
this is what I have been doing wrong pretty sure
You just gotta stay on your toes constantly
got it
||range charms are a crutch imo, can do without as long as you know the fight||
when are they gonna add a 2nd channel for #hk-help where you don't need to spoiler tag shit...
ill start with ||range charms from now on to see how it goes||
its literally why i never chat here
That would be useless
||well generally dodge pretty much any attack by jumping (and poging if you want). The only exceptions to this are the dagger attack where he throws the soul daggers at you and when he parries you. For those you should use your shade cloak so also make sure not to waste it on other attacks.
Also make sure you jump on the soul pillar attack where the spikes form at the ground. The hitboxes are smaller in the air so jumping makes it much easier to dodge.
On a last note don't jump, dash or walk around too much without a reason. Stay near pure vessel to attack and other than that just wait for and react to his attacks. Don't just jump and dash around aimlessly.||
||yeah not a bad idea, i relied on mop for a long time until i didn't||
THIS channel is useless lol
It's for helping
thanks, thats a good strat
stop complaining please
People usually don't want late game spoilers in early game
no other game's discord spoiler tags everything. this shit is only here, and i honestly think it's suboptimal and pointless
Okay...
well make a modmail about it if it annoys you that much
Clearly some people don't want the whole game spoiled when they ask for help?
||experiment with d dark i frames, you can't panic cast it like you can with most other bosses, but once you know the fight it's as useful of a spell as in any other fight, just have to know exactly when to use it||
||Huge help, I used to always try to use shade cloak||
yea that's exactly why there should be 2 channels
||I mainly use d dark i frames when he does the big ball focus attack thingy and it works but whenever I try, I struggle to get the timing correct sometimes||
Is it not good lol
||eww jumping the spikes.... i disagree heavily||
suboptimal
might just be the single worst
||so jump or dont jump the swords from the ground???||
I grinded to get it lol
Depends
2 channels are confusing for new players and also honestly unnecessary. There are very few people that care as much about it as you do. And at that point just ask in #hk-discussion
||for that personally i dodge away from the first one, second can be walked out of, my favorite is the third phase tendril attack, jump, dash towards him, pogo on the tendril and d dark||
||you should ALWAYS ALWAYS move a little to either left or right when you see him spawn on top of u. because you will be right in the middle of the boss AND the spike. just hit while holding up and you do like 3-4 hits||
Usually you can find a safe spot quickly but if you start panicking jump
that's ok
true
that's not true
Of the ones I have, which ones would you guys recommend
i dont know how you would grind for that but ok
||80%-90% of the time I get hit to that attack and idk what to do consistently||
it is. not doing dmg while you CAN is suboptimal by definition
||YOU CAN POGO THE TENDRIL???!!!||
please remove spikes
By saving up geo I meant
they are a detriment
I get hit a lot too
|| Don't panic and stare at the floor to find a safe place||
||ill keep that in mind||
As soon as you see it slamming down
Damn, what am I doing right ๐ญ
||not from far away, but as long as you dash towards pv, it's pretty forgiving||
you dont need geo for it tho
anyways probably ||soul catcher||
||makes sense||
i can watch your screenshare and tell you how to do the correct thing 100% of the time. its a very easy attack, trust
Oh well nvm, Iโm tripping
others just choose what you like
ok ill join the first general and screen share the fight
you can deal damage while and after jumping. Also "optimal" doesn't always refer to the highest damage output. For a not so experienced player playing safer is more optimal
can u pick my charms tho???
theres none particularly good
there's really no wrong in this game. anything works, you just have to have proper timings and that's it
charms don't matter
|| spell or nail||
besides spikes. please don't use them
okay
while taking DMG they lock you in an animation
instead of healing or dealing more dmg at that time
||nail works better for me||
you are stunned in the animation
||shaman strength quick slash pick the last two notches||
shit charm
What should I do after I beat ||the hollow knight?||
|| strength, mark of pride, heart, quick slash ||
Keep exploring and playing the game
||shaman not needed on pv. just use nail build @jolly oar ||
Ok ๐ญ
Lots more stuff to find
okay thank
this is also good
||fair, i practiced the fight with a p5 build in preparation||
that makes sense then
i also never took shamans off on that fight lol in ||p5||
wait hold on can I ||swap heart for steady body and something else??? Im kinda used to steady body :>||
like who cares.. ill still beat him regardless of charms
Spoil ||shamman||
||steady body gang for life fr fr||
im just so used to it
||steady body|| is a crutch. my personal advice is to not use it YET if you wanna become a demon.
I never used ||steady body because I use the knockback to my advantage||
becoming a demon sounds kinda fun
||keep it on if you're used to it, one notch, no reason to grief yourself practicing a fight if you're gonna use something else in the pantheon||
learn to hit UP lmao haha
I do play without it sometimes
but it messes me up bc i walk too far into bosses
I actually recommend using ||shaman stone. Since you wanna beat the pantheon you'll use the same build for pv as you will for at least 4 other bosses. So even if you don't use it for pv a lot it's still very good for all of the other bosses. Even in hall of gods you should if possible practice with the charm build you'll be using in the pantheon as well||
||steady body is legit dps increase in most fights if you use it properly||
exactly, you just proved my point
Also, ||I assumed you couldnโt pogo with steady body for some reason||
How?
||I have a build for p5, I just wanna swap the build after nkg so I can use it on pv and absrad, I havent even fought absrad once so idk||
oh, then do whatever to try and reach her. youll have to practice her A LOT
fair
shes the only difficult boss in the game
It literally changes nothing about dps
alright
||well shaman is also insane on absrad but use whatever you prefer||
and she's genuinely frustrating
100%
it kinda does, but not really
It changes how you play, not dps
yeah, never doing that boss without shamans
its a torture
ill stream the fight now
||you can follow a boss's movements and keep slashing while they're moving backwards, most effective with quick slash and evident in fights like lost kin/soul warrior/hornet||
People, spoil ||shaman||
remember to use tags please 
Just do that without it
||you can, but you can get more slashes with it||
||it's not a lot, i'm not saying it's like insane damage increase, but it's there if you know how to use it||
Also, I just beat ||the hollow knight, so I probably shouldnโt be in this conversation, but hornet was really easy||
โฆI can do that without ||steady body||
||i can beat the game without any charms, doesn't disprove my point lol||
Wait, wrong boss
Ok
And when I said ||hornet, I meant the hollow knight. I get them confused cuz for me, the hollow knight was just an easier version of hornet||
my bad i get real sentimental when it comes to ||steady body||
And since ||the hollow knight was after, my brain says hornet is the later boss and I get the two confused cuz I also know that hornet comes first||
I never used it cuz for some reason I thought ||you couldnโt pogo with it||
So I just disliked it for the longest time
||i beat the game like five times before i realized its value, felt just like heavy blow to me for a long time||
||at the end of the day many charms are preferance||
||a lot of the best players both use and don't use it so, take that as you will||
Yeah, like I love using ||soul catcher+grubsong so if I want to use a spell, I donโt have to worry about soul||
At least for bosses
And I have ||quick focus and shaman as my other charms||
But I use straight massochism as my strat
Jk
I just kinda suck
||works until you do radiant fights haha||
Iโve heard about those on this channel, but I literally just beat ||the hollow knight||
This is my end screen
||67% done||
||feel free to dm if you wanna know what you're missing||
Nah, Iโm gonna spend my time on other games probably
fair
And when I continue, Iโm gonna be playing doing stuff I feel like doing
Like seeing the message you get when you hit ||all the bosses with dream nail cuz why not||
Some of them are really funny
The ||jellyfish dreamer ones is smth like โMUST NOT SACRIFICEโ||
||...For her...||
||chat, I dont mean to sound stoopid, but where is Overgrown Mound again?||
I cannot remember where it is every single time I play HK
||left side of fog canyon||
Got it, thx
Hi guys. I need help with how to kill the ||enemies with 6 eyes in distant village||. The ones that ||block off pathways and attack by retracting their faces and then swiping three times||
||when they open upp they are vulnerable for a short time before attacking in which you can hit and dash away.
And then use spells||
ok thank you!
Fellow btd6 + stardew valley player
||also, if they have space above them, they are extremely vulnerable to getting pogoed||
bro jus check ||map ||lmao
also i have|| 9 notches rn and i have a few charms left to collect, are there any hidden rooms anywhere having these?||
|| there are more notches yes ||
|| you could search all the locations at hollowknight.wiki or just explore your map and find them organically ||
aight
It would be a bit of a pain to find which ones you have and dont have
So the wiki is better
Yeah the wiki can sometimes put spoilers in weird places
Really only useful if you're super stuck
also what is || "a rare metal" in collo||
||pale ore||
God damn || Pure vessel is hard ||
In game ||map?||
Indeed
Didja get the one from the ||extra content?||
I beat ||nkg|| and then thought after a few tries i'd get the hang of him but holy shit i was wrong
You beat || nkg?? ||
Dont you mean || troupe master Grimm? ||
yea youre his bitch no matter what
||even if you radiant him its by luck||
Do yall got tips for ||radiant nkg or radiant pure vessel?||
Practice on ascended so you can actually finish your runs
Alr
NKG and Pure Vessel are both fights you'll get extremely consistent with enough replaying
Fair
||mark of pride is your friend so as ddark||
Alr
fr you just need that rythm goin
jump slash the chains
Ya
||how do i swim in the acid||
You'll get an ability later.
||im already far into the game (i think) im trying to get the dreamer things and i beat the jellyfish thing and i cant get past a certain area||
||explore in royal waterways||
it was there right?
||on my way there i found a bug and it looks like it's about to be infected but isnt quite there yet how do i get to it||
oh yea but thats in ||fungal waste||
on my map it showed that there was a way to get to ||royal waterways but i just now got to that part and its blocked off
||
yep only entry ik is from ||cot||
so i heard that something happens when you ||defeat zote 4 times, iam in my 8th time and i see nothing||
youโre almost done
i donโt rember the numbers
yea it does 5
FUCK||
basically its ||iam playing asceded with overcharmed, but its just lvl8zote||
my paygrade is too low for this bs
oh no
oh no
||the journal says i need 6 infected balloons but when i kill them at lost kin or broken vessel it doesnt count||
do i have to defeat the boss for it to count ?
No those just don't count
Cause of reasons (team cherry coding)
||There are balloons elsewhere in ancient basin as well||
HOW DO YOU HAVE THAT MUCH GEO
i walk around the map menacingly
Crazy
How does the ||infected crossroads|| start
I forgot
I think its after defeating ||the orange hollow knight guy||
||I beat pure vessel on ascended once but I haven't won since, but progress is happening ๐ฃ๏ธ๐ฅ||
||when you kill a dreamer or when you get the wings||
|| wanders journal and hollow nest seal|| can anyone tell me the purpose of these?
bro is cooking
Iโve done the same
||there is a shop in city of tears, you sell them there for MONEY||
That's it? ๐ฅน
yep
Man I've been keeping them w me for a long time
he tells a speach everythime you give him soomething
same
Owh I had no idea..
I was jus considering that smth precious 
Btw is there any ||bench near the teacher's archives, so that I can find it, as it's gonna take a long way to reach that guumuu (or wtv the name is)||
what charms for ||the hollow knight||
I'd say u shd use long nail one
and
It's pretty effective
I rn have few charms so idk bout the rest
aight
||Shaman stone, quick slash, mark of pride||
you still struggle with em ?
ah then i confused you with someone else
Aight I'll check

WHAT IS TIHSS
Whats the best way to ||100% steel soul||
whats ||steel soul||
Did you beat the game
||Ummuu made my speedrun 15 mins longer||
Im here to defeat this ||bubble head ||for the first time
||just survive. Easier said than done when itโs your first time, but at intervals Quirrel comes in and breaks its protection. Then you can get a few hits in||
dodge and wait for ||the bug to strike it ||
||Yea I can only give few hits but it jus keeps electrocuting my way and idk how to dodge that... Even my cloak doesn't work here||
||even dodging is too much to handle||
Time to die for another 300 times..
causal walking should doit
||yeah, it does take a while to kill. When it spawns the lightning that follows you, just keep moving||
No...
Ye
btw when lighting are chasing you
slide on the wall
just jump on it and slide down will make it way easier
Wow ok
I'ma try doin it
Thanks for guiding you two
Of course! Good luck!
been playin the game for 125 hours
and i just knew that i can kill ||crystal crawlers||
how do you beat markoth on radiant im going mad
||elegy||
gahhhh noooooo i have to spend 800 centuries finding grubs
i stopped finding them after pale ore
and an insane amount of luck and mental health reserve
ill just do long and mark and die for centuries to come
there is a boss ||that gives you map for them||
Wait so if we ||die while fighting radience we'll have to start from Killin hollow knight?||
i have done him its just im too lazy to leave godhome
yep
Dude....
||tk is a joke boss he is so easy to beat||
took me 6th tries to ||kill radiance||
But the bench is in reality and ||radience isn't||
did pantheon before normal rad
but you have to beat ||thk again to fight the radiance||
Man how come you get so good at the games
ohhh i get what you mean
yes you gotta kill hk
Atp I might jus give up before the end game bro...
wanna know something funny
This is such a huge pain...
Sure
there are harder bosses than ||hk and radiance||
May I know the name
spoiler
not really ||hk|| is really easy to memorise
you will find it yourself
So that I can be mentally prepared to defeat those
radiant bosses
๐ฅนI don't care bout spoilers
trust
others do
spoiler tag
No bro idts cuz I've been counting my deaths while defeating 2 ppl
gah i swear im already flagged for execution by mods
Then jus use spoiler tag and tell ezz
the ||thk have an upgraded version way faster and deals 2 dmg is called pure vessel he is the hardest boss ingame||
||Wow so you lose 2 shards on every blow...||
||just learn to use shade cloak properly||
||nkg is also a diffcult one but he has alot of openings to heal||
yep and he is everything ||the hollow knight could do he is so fast and bigger||
||the skill gap between pure vessel and nkg is insane||
i dont think he is bigger
What's ||nkg||
mf is nuts
boss
||broski forgor absrad||
||nightmare gtimm troupe||
I feel like what I'm currently goin thru is nth compared to wants comin ahead
||nightmare king grimm||
didnt fought her yet
i died at ||sister of battle once and too lazy to go back||
||Wait that red person ... Who seems like a magician or smthg||
May god help me in passing thru these horrible places
||think of it just like hk but at pv speed attacks and 4 more phases||
yep
I saw ||path of pain|| in gameplay
i struggle so much with the lunge and void tentacle bs
N that's terrible asw...
the 3 attacks?
the 3 slashes
i didnt want to go ||p4 untill i beat him on ascended 3 times in a row withoutdying and i did it||
the lunge is the dash , the void tenacle is were he bring black stuff from his stomach
he only doit when he is close to 25% hp
just ||shade||
Btw ||does dream nail give much stronger blow than the nail itself||?
no
||git gud||
||dream nail only purpose is it gives you soul on attack||
||Same does the nail... ||
yea but it doesnt do dmg
its for ||essence, and more soul per slash||
So it's not helpful while defeating ||gumuu||
No ig it is
Cuz I need more soul
||uummuu is slow when he is heading towards you just slash him for soul||
its so easy to slash it cause its slow and if the ||jellly fish boss collides with you its a skill issue||
No it was damn fast ๐ญ
the boss itself is slow the lighting is fast
use ||dream catcher then||
i doubt they have it
I was trying to get ||my shard back and it jus comes running after me||
You mean ||dream wielder|| or ||soul catcher||?
mb
the first one
Cause you can't combine 2 Charms into one-
yes first one
Alright then
Just wanted to make sure
mb gng its just i have not used that shit in so long
||Idt I have this rn... If it's about dreams then only dream nail||
i can try to record you a vid how to defeat it buts its much different and harder in ||godhome||
there are youtube videos about it
how to beat any boss: be patient
N idk what's ||God home||
I'm jus following a gameplay lmao
Ive lost this several times...
||you unlock pantheons where you fight every boss in the game||
the area where you ||beat bosses over and over for fun and glory(practice)||
Damn ...
I see
||pantheon 5 required you to beat every boss in a row and one death means starting all over again||
Ain this diabolical
very
sun dude
Wow
Might motivate to get in there
But for now I needta focus on these
My death count is jus diabolical
seeing that youre struggling to kill a jelly fish
you still lack training
Ye I saw ||radiance|| and how it's defeated
Like 4 times
And I was like.. unbelievable
Anyone have any builds good nail builds for the /spoiler traitor Lord?
Yes
show me your inv
