Lmao, no
does tiny dmg
oh ok then
lies
it doesn't
Can you? I haven't tried.
then it doesnt matte
||i wanted to try the white fart so bad so i took it with spiders and womb ||
it doesn't deal any damage
What's stopping you from cheesing ||champion call then?||
guys can yall explain the gamemode ||steel soul to me, im thinking abt trying it. do u get jus one life and no heals?||
||if you die the save deletes, thats it||
||you can heal, just not die. Except for most dreams||
i cant cheese the 1st fight /i havent tried hard enough
ill finish hte game 2 more times
then ill do it
s4 probably
S2 isnt even out yet bestie
hhe will overthrow the government
||Lol, cheese your way to the end because it's not like you're surviving it||
he's always been planning that
At least it will unlock the boss
dont encourge me
foul act
|| I just found out that the pose he makes means that pure vessel will strike you back when you hit it I thought that he just made a pose to look cool so when I jumped over him and attacked him in back he just made that pose and instantly sliced me||
Foul is that fight, I don't think I'm ever beating that no matter how good I get at the game lmao
This is true
||yes, it's a parry attack
||
😭
if you played for a bit and got better you would

||first time hearing something like that is it only in pure vessel fight because I haven't seen it anywhere other than that one attack||
||hornet 2 also does it. The nailmasters in P1 do a similar thing||
Saving it for when I've got proper time since it's gonna take a lot of time. But yeah, I'm excited to try it out regardless of the outcome in the end.
have fun 
||pretty weird that I have almost every achievement other than 2 from steel soul , pantheon of hallownest and banishing grimm troupe but it's my first time hearing about something like a parry attack||
||Tips for Pantheon 5?||
that's definitely odd. But can happen ig. it's not a super common attack
lets gooooo
i got to ||absrad||
please edit your message with tags first. Everything in this channel from the game needs to be spoiler tagged with two bars on each side || like this ||
good job!! 
Spoiler tag
And practice alot in||hog||
now how much harder is ||absrad compared to regular||
||mainly just practice the bosses you struggle with or die to in the hall of gods until you can beat them consistently and then repeat. Is there anything specific you need help with?||
Her beams have zero telegraphs
yeah i noticed lmao
Thank you
a lot
that's not true
in fact they even have 2
||Now ik why rad was weak||
give me luck.
You get less than a sec to mov4
i ||shriek spammed normal rad for the win||
True
will that not work here
It wilp get through phase 1 and 2
yeah im not even gonna try attempting to beat even ||attuned||
going for the speedrun achievement instead
Any tips for reg
The ending tho is peak
||markoth||
Yep
wb the flower version
Grubsent gonna cook me
||If you're talking about the beam burst attack:
there are 2 telegraphs:
When her face lights up and she rises her wings means a burst attack (sword burst or beam burst) is about to happen. You can already get ready for it then.
The second one is the normal beam telegraph where it shows you where it's about to fire. For that it is true that you don't have a full second to react. A second is 5 times as much as the average human reaction time though so it really isn't a problem of the boss being unfair but just you not being used to it yet.
If you're talking about the beams in climb: It's a bit harder to react here but it's the only attack which makes it much more manageable. You need to keep a specific rhythm to easily dodge the beams. If you want I can send a video||
Even better
I knew it
bro prophesied his future
your skill level has nothing to do with this statement
Tbh i haven't tried much
fair enough
Is it better to run a
btw can i just use the first guide that appears on reddit for the speedrun achievement
I always lose to the staircase phase
Yt have it
||nail or spell build against markoth?||
any specific one better than the rest?
||usually spells are better for markoth||
Tbh i will use this info today to beat her
Ok I'll send a pic of my upd inventory can u recommend some charms
I think ign have one
42 min
But watch it first
Good luck! Just ask if you struggle with anything. If you need the video for ||climb|| I'll send it as well
yuhh
I haven't watched it fully yet
Ik what i should do but I don't know how to doit
||climb?||
or the whole fight
either way then it just needs practice
It was a Chinese guy run so i trust him
i know what i must do but i don't have the strength to do it
this needs tags
||I mean the how to do it is fairly simple. You need to press jump twice and move if a beam is on top of you. The main thing is reacting when a beam is on top of you and keeping the rhythm||
oh yeah i still havent done ||the eternal ordeal|| either
is that necessarily hard?
not really, no
well it's subjective but compared to many other things ||in godhome|| no
ic ic
What's that
I think there is a pattern here
I hate rng bosses
Is that spoilered?

it's true
||GPZ, Collector, any bosses with minions||
how are these rng
There drop location for example
Indeed

6/ 10 ragebait
not entirely sure if it is but let's assume it is. They don't vary enough for it to make any difference. You can always remove them the same way
I’m fighting ||absolute radiance on radiant|| any tips?
stay on the mid bottom platform
if any boss was rng how would people be able to beat them consistently
||is there any part you need help with specifically?||
||not with ab||
that needs tags
Mb
and I literally explained how to yesterday

Yes, but after numerous attempts
it only works 50% of the time
that's because of you
thanks kondy 
Minion bosses are at least harder imo
With|| ab, that or I'm too used to killing them in one hit||
the main differenence is how many different options you have to consider
||or I'm just ass at ab||
any suggested charm sets for ||absrad||
but it doesnt change the fact that its very deterministic, so if you fight it well enough, it will always have you winning
||ab is known for specifically increasing the difficulty on bosses with minions, yes. It's not rng and not inconsistent though. Not unfair but simply harder.||
||strength, shaman, qslash, twister. You can also use steady body + grubsong for the last 2 if you want||
||it at least "feels" like rng to me||
that's ok
So, ||p3ab is easier, or harder than p4ab?||
depends on you
Yes
||because imo p3ab is only hard because of GPZ||
||P3 ||is so horrible
id say ||p3|| is harder
in my personal opinion it's ||easier since p4 has many bosses that 2 hit you. You might have a different opinion though||
Yea but they're easy
The first split is annoying tho
And hard to deal with
Finna use the same charm set as regular
||failed champ on ab|| is so painful imo
Well, from what I've experienced, ||p4ab is actually consistently hard because I've died to everyone essentially, p3ab, it's literally just been collector, but now it's just GPZ, every single time||
He is very erratic
just so fking long, with such extended waits
I do them one or 2 by one so I don't suffer
Kondy did you do ||p5ab or are planning to do it?
Or any pab for that matter?||
That's another issue I have with ||ab, bosses take so long||
Yep
They take practically twice as long
ive done up to 4...
i plan to do 5 sometime
I can't even do 3 or 4
GG! hop on 5 imo 
also plan to learn ||fury tech for p5||
it just sounds way too cool
rn, im grinding celeste tho
so after that
Well, if you've already done ||p1 through 4 ab, you could probably do p5 since it's just all of them together||
the difficulty spike is quite significant in all honesty
Yeah, the sheer length of each attempt, ||abs rad and nkg ab get added||
im just playing thru the game for the 1st time slowly inching towards completion
And how far are ya?
have like half the C sides and goldens done, still havent finished ch9
i mean, its fun to see 0 on your lowest death count
ch9 is harder than most goldens imo
Imo not really, since you have checkpoints to try, and try again
||good charm set for absrad eh?||
Mb, to #hk-general if ya want
kk
you plan on boring her to death?

practice makes perfect a man insane
can confirm
i hated the fight 40 hrs in, love it now with like 120hrs
the placebo is hitting hard
uh... no. Not really
|| can anyone help me with absoulute radiance ||
what do you struggle with?
were in the same boat
|| the light saws and the side scrolling blades||
it is spoilered dummy
it did not show up spoilered foe me
bruh i got to phase 2 and we dropped eachother
||for the sword wall from the side whenever they spawn walk in the opposite direction and then jump and dash through the gap. The gap is always reachable without wings.
You can also use shade cloak for some of them||
imagine getting tagged teamed by||pv and nkg and both of them dash from different directions||
#hk-help message here is my guide for her
don't be rude
wtf
that is scary
i just died to ||absrad|| and my screen is vibrating like crazy
im only good at || pure vessel as well lol ||
what do you mean by ||"light saws"||?
Try closing and opening Discord again. I'm pretty sure there's a glitch that makes all spoilered images appear unspoiled until you reopen
is this a glitch
i doubt its even doable they just said ||"ah fuck it lets put 2 of the strongest bosses against a bug"||
aura
it doesn't work like that
i dunno if this is the right file
||ddark|| is too strong for bosses to be impossible
it was not
she is breaking free
we killed eachother at the same time
|| the light circles in the radiance fight ||

but she looks like shes dead
||do you mean the flying orbs?||
btw, you can bring the earthquake out of the ||absrad|| fight if ou leave via ||dreamgate|| right after she comes down
balls*
the earthquake is happening as we speak
but instead of ||dreamgate|| i died
||for those unless they're directly above the floor never jump over them. Always just dash or walk underneath. That will lead them into the floor and not make them circle around and make things difficult||
if you enter any transition it should go away
ok
what if i want it to stay lmao

the rumble from switch feels nice

pause
Ok i can try
regular?
yea
||id say switch sshadow and grubsong for qslash||
||quickslash, strength, mark of pride|| then spam and tank hits
if you have extra use whatever
keep ||compass|| its op for any boss
where's the egg shop in randomizers
||Jiji||
#randomizer is a thing but its the one character who likes ||eggs||
In ||dirtmouth. The cave to the right that needs simple key.||
ohh ty
||In the City of Tears by the bench where you find Cornifer, he left a note saying "Sorry I missed you!" and told me to visit his shop in Dirtmouth for a map of the area. Is this just the shop at the top of the map that you first visit in the game? I've already purchased everything from it so Idk...||
||yes, u can purchase the map at iseldas shop in dirtmouth||
can someone show me the hit box of ||sly ground dive||
Uhm so if you die in ||jonis recluse|| can you just not get ||lifeblood core||?
you cannot lock yourself out of anything important
you probably just don't have enough|| lifeblood ? (it is 15 masks)||
Yeah because that's one of the 5 charms I need
guys where do i access this ||grub||
||from deepnest||
you sure?
Yes 100%
Left. Also u should be spoilering ||grub||
oh alr
tips for ||radiat uumuu||
Please spoiler tag the text
i did but i dont think it is that big spoiler
If it's||directly above you, and a jelly is by you, strike it down, then move outta the way and more often that not it'll miss you and go for uumuu, but only if it's above you||
that was quick
Lmao
yea about that
😭
Wow
i almost blew myself too
it was passing peacefully but my brain said hit it
urges
its like the red barrel in any game
yea no
Somethings not right with this
dont mind pablo
who?
yes
he
is
horrible
||he calls an air strike on me||
literally
and pulls out an ||m14||
smh
chat
man I can't wait to play that
Still tryna ||finish up base game HK and it's achievements||
guys can yall tell me where to access that ||grub||
its the last one i have in the entire game
Iirc, ||in the room right below the grub the higher part of the room, cling to the rightern wall, go as high as you can, cdash from it and double jump up to an alcove||
It's kinda tricky
that shit is hard af man
no i meant pale court
does anyone know if it's possible retrieving a deleted hollow knight save file?
Ask in #modding-discussion. Even if it isnt related to mods, they know better.
thanks
||should i change mark of pride with qslash for p4 im using shaman,mark of pride, sharp shadow and strength ||
Yes
||Go up the elevator above the bench, and theres a hidden breakable wall at the start of the next room||
||To get to pop, it’s in a secret pathway in White Palace. It’s a breakable wall as well to the left I’m pretty sure, although I don’t remember which specific room.||
It's after the elevator iirc
Noooo its a ||sshadow user|| :(((
Iirc the ||second elevator||
||should i use the same charm for 1st part and 2nd part||
lmao
There's usually no reason to switch midway through
||should i change sharp shadow||
I mean I would since I think it sucks 
If you want to, ||you can use nmg for the first part, or dcrest if you struggle with lost kin a lot||
But I've made hating on it a solid 5% of my online personality
with what
Safest bet is ||spell twister||
I personally use ||steady body grubsong|| usually
||steady body quick slash|| is pretty nice for consistency on hitting your target
Sure, ||just remove it for the second part||
k ill go for ||steady body and grubsong|| for the second part
|| This is good for kill hollow knight? Or i go up more things?||
You will probably be fine
Totally up to your own skill
But tbh why not just try it
Ye
If you find it too difficult, you can always leave it for later
wht does ||steady body|| do
Removes ||sideways knockback when you hit things||
ohh
Helps with positioning
k ty
I have been trying for an hour, but it takes me a long time to get a response from him.
Does not adjust ||vertical knockback|| at all tho
Wdym response?
stare
I don't know the name, but I will say it when he lies down.
So you recommend that I go improve my skills?
Yeah getting more stuff might help
I actually got my save back thanks a lot
Can I find any || pale ore|| at this point in the game and if so where?
check around ||crystal peak||
emphasis on the peak
Near the top?
I went back and there's nothing new at the map shop.
iam trying to practice ||abs rad by killing normal rad 5 times in a row without dying||
killed her twice out 3
then i will move to ||absrad||
||u either bought the map already or u went to the wrong shop. Otherwise the map will be in the shop||
||I went to the one that you first enter when you start the game. It's at the top of the map.||
||if the npc u r interacting with is called iselda then u r in the right place. If the map isnt there then u probably already bought it and u forgot||
can someone help with ||abs rad phase 3||
i lose alot of health or die most of the time
||please actually describe the phase u r talking about, since everyone will have different views on what the phases are. Are u talking about sword rain, platform phase, climb, or smth else?||
||platform phase||
wait that doesnt clarify either xd
There nothing here
||the phase before i climb for the final phase||
Not really reachable with current progress
(||No Ancient Basin on map, meaning BV wasn't fought||)
||yes, that is commonly called the platform phase||
So I’ve been wasting my time
||Platform and climb, eh?||
For ||platforms, it's generally best you don't chase her||
otherwise iam goated xdd
Wait until ||she's either above you, or slightly to the side of the two middle platforms||
If she's ||directly above you, see what attack shes prepping, then ddark through it, and use the frames after to dodge accordingly||
thats why normal ||radiant is easier||
she always spawn above me and i melt her
For the ||orbs, you generally want to make them hit a platform to despawn them, that or if you have it ready, shade cloak to make them disappear||
But I ||wouldn't advice using the cloak since you might need it for the wall of light||
yea exactly
Another ||tip to make the orbs hit the platforms is to stay on the platform until the orb is hurdling towards you, then when it's coming at you, dodge it by a slight jump, or any other way, I'm not sure what's the best way to dodge them, but when it tries to redirect towards you, it will more often than not collide with the platform||
what platforms should i stay on
Generally the ||two middle ones on the bottom and top, most of the time the bottom middle, but if she goes to the top one, you can try heading up there to damage her, just be cautious||
yea idk where that is
Is there any ||pale ore|| I can actually get
Also, ||something I don't see talked about a lot about her is that the farther her swords travel during the sword burst, the more they curve, so be cautious of that||
i feel like the bottom middle is bad
Please tag the message
With || on each side
if i ||dash i hit another platform and cant jump||
Generally you shouldn't chase her at all
bottom and top middle are both good. Top is a little better tho imo
Stay on the platform at all times
yea i started to pay moe attenion to those and it always was curved
Unless ||she is slightly left or right of the middle, then side swing at her||
Depends on what you already have
Which have you gotten?
None
any advice for ||pure vessel||😭
There is ||one pale ore somewhere in dark Deepnest, behind a breakable wall||
|| nosk basin are 2 off the top of my head ||
||mainly to keep your shade cloak for the dagger throwing attack only. Dodge any other attack by jumping||
Well, ||there's one from grubfather, but that requires a lot of grubs, another from ancient basin, which is a little outta the way, one in peaks with wings, and another from an arena high above||
Also ||deepnest houses one near the bottom via a breakable wall||
|| is it possible to just damage boost and do it without the wings?||
||DDark can be good damage during his idles, triple swing or sword floor attacks.||
Very tricky
here is a guide for ||climb||
i think once i make it up its free
Wow, that ||actually looks very consistent, I usually jump away from the platforms and shade cloak back||
||it isnt the hardest thing to say the least ||
||final is pretty simple, yes||
Never thought about doin' it like that
pogo and orbs go poof
Indeed
||that's another thing you can do but you should only start doing it at the very end of climb. It isn't consistent in the beginning||
well the climbing will take some time but doable
there is even mods that let me choose phases
Fair
so will try it
Noice
you shouldn't pogo. It's not a good strat ||for absrad||
Ya I died and now I have to go back
ia talking about the final phase
The ||final phase, the orbs despawn when they go offscreen||
yes, it's bad for ||final||
Why?
I know. It's still a bad strat
tf
yoou literally pogo and shit disappear
you need 10 hits only
||People usually do it because they see good players use it. The strat is only really used for modded radiances and by players who can really do whatever they want in final for vanilla absrad since it's not a threat for them.
It is simply far more difficult than some other strats.
Simply wait on the left plat, do a double jump to make the orbs go off screen each time they spawn and hit radiance if she's close. Also start by shrieking and use shade soul if you want||
Hmmmmmmm
|| if absrad were on the far side from the knight would you just fireball?||
||pogoing is a lot less consistent than it seems if you don't do it right. And you very likely aren't doing it right.
The amount of hits you need doesn't change depending on your strat so that argument isn't good||
if u want. Or just wait
I didn’t even need to
Whar?
I jumped and hit a crystal and dashed and jumped off the opposite wall
||also should briefly mention that parallelogram dash slash strat that takes forever to kill absrad but is also fully consistent||
||Nightmare King Grimm|| update: I literally just spent ten minutes fighting this guy, trying to figure out why ||I wasn't starting the next phase|| turns out I was literally just dodging without even trying to attack.
so what you're saying is if you're good at pogoing, its a good strat?

No
This is the general dodging (to clarify the first is what you shouldn't, the second is what you should do): #hk-help message
This is how the final phase is ideally executed: #hk-help message
||this unironically what i did when i reached nkg||
Lmao, I was zoned tf out
so the second one is for a quick kill, I see

it happened to me cuz i panicked
Is the || pale ore|| up here
Iirc, yes
||The strat is more than just pogoing is what I'm saying. If you're just pogoing you're going to be vulnerable and it's not super consistent. Of course the phase is generally pretty easy so any strat will somewhat work.
Other strats are just easier and more consistent though||
I mean, you did that area the unintended way
I think the game wants you to have smt there
ya never did that. Seems no fun
Well I don’t know the intended way so I can’t find the stupid || basin||
To get down to ||basin, find a way to the right side of city of tears||
To get to the ||right side of city of tears, go through royal waterways||
To get ||there, ya need a simple key||
||well it happens to be one because the hp is so low. It's really just 2 shrieks and an optional fireball though. Mainly just wanted to show the shrieks at the start||
and what if ya don't have any soul?

you don't ||shriek||
Then the phase goes on for longer
yes. Then you just start with the dodging pattern I showed right away instead of ||shrieking|| first. Nothing really changes except for hp
||yea i only really do it for ab since i dont want to risk anything, its the most consistent for me by far but i dont do it on normal since i want to practice the standing on left platform strat and the fast kill||
you should do ||anyrad|| fr
im gonna get absolutely destroyed if i tried that
you're a good player. It's not like it's gonna be impossible for you
it's fine
that's the fun part
oh
eh im taking a brief hiatus from hk rn, ive been playing nine sols
it was on sale so why not
alright. I've been wanting to start it as well..Have fun!
thanks! maybe ill try out ||anyrad|| a bit afterwards, ive watched a fair share of ||anyrad|| clears to get a general idea of how the fight goes. but it also seems really hard so idk
it's maybe a little harder than ||p5ab but not by much. Idk if you did that but it's not as bad as people say it is||
does anyone know why my screen is so bright?
||yea i did p5ab about a month ago. is anyrad a boss where i should be going in "blind" and trying to figure out the attacks on my own, or are there tutorials or smth out there that i should watch||
there is a gamma setting in the options
set that to be lower
have you tried launching the vanilla game?
i have but it looks weird
and i have tried launching vanilla
i can't see a thing
it sometimes launches normally
but most of the time it is like this
||blind is gonna be tough
it took weeks, probably more for the first clear both because people weren't as experienced but also because they didn't know the strats yet. So I really recommend not going in blind at least for stuff like climb. There are tutorials in the anyrad server but you can also ask me
though I'm not really qualified for everything.
I didn't watch any tutorials/read the one in anyrad server but I watched some radiant clears and asked Anika for things I wanted help with||
at this point I'd make a post in #1057825333841240104
Make sure to read the pinned post there first though
how will a mod help?
modding help is a forum for asking all kinds of questions about mods but also general technical issues
oh ok thanks
i will try it
||i mean u beat anyrad so that must mean smth, but yea ive watched anyrad clears before so i know what the attacks look like and what charms are generally used, but actually doing it is ofc a whole other thing. actually on the topic of charms, i know that some ppl use legacy qs for anyrad, is that a thing u would recommend||
I personally didn't do it since it felt like cheating. It is allowed though so you decide that for urself
hello
can anyone here help me out
i dont wanna hide all the messages
so can like someone dm me and help me
it barely even takes a second to do that for each msg, it really isnt that hard
double bars work as well, ||example||
||oh wait i forgot about double line lmao so my problem is like i have no idea where to go now since all possible areas i can go to kill me like instantly||
the orb did 360 across the platform

||so basically, i got dash, then i went to get mantis claw, after that i bbeat mantis lords so i could go to deepnest. i went there and died, so i left, and instead got desolate dive. then, i remembered i could go to crystla peak, so i got like the descending dark or smth and crystal dash. then i got to fall into resting grounds and get dreamnail. i have 390 essence from getting the roots and also fighitng the spirits. i also got the up b spell which i think was called like howling wraiths also i got everything from sly, like the elegant key, the 1800 lantern, the charms, everything, since i never lost my geo now im stuck cuz i dont know where to go (deepnest way too dangerous) and waterways are also dangerous. also how do i get to west side of city of tears||i wrote so much lmao
||non Hazard damage is damage that isn't caused by the environment such as spikes, acid, saws etc||
||explore in deepnest (it's not as difficult as it seems) or try to get below the city of tears somehow. Check the bottom of city to find a way||
these are the main ways to progress. You have more to discover in older areas though
|| like the waterways? ive been there||
also generally try to head towards the ||dreamers||
||have you beaten any boss there?||
||wait what do you mean by older areas||
||no where is it||
||the ones you have found previously. You always unlock new paths with new abilities you gain so make sure you re-explore them||
(looking at your map is usually enough)
||have you got the map of waterways?||
||can you give me like an example||
||yeah
||for exaple: You got dive, you used it in crossroads (an older area) to find a new one: crystal peak. For example you could explore greepath again and would find a new are in there right now (unless you already found it and didn't mention it). It's not gonna give you a lot of progression but items and content||
||queens gardens? yeah i found it i even got the up b thing but i need shade cloak according to reddit||
||look at your map and reeeally try to look for anything that looks like it's not fully explored. If you just can't seem to find anything you can send an image and I'll show you||
not that
but it doesn't really matter. You get the point
no. It's above it
alright
||tbh i think ive got everything||
anyways you get what I mean by re-exploring areas
||yeah ive been doing that for the past week lmao ive been like going through areas reddit etc||
every area? no
||yeah||
again look through ||deepnest or waterways||
||well besides deepnest and waterways||
||i keep dying there||
||everything else is explored||
it is the main part to progress. The game is hard. You're gonna die
||so i need like tips||
tips?
||for waterways||
||yeah apparantely ismas tear is found there and i found a lot of water places in like fungal wastes that need isma teer||
||I don't recommend spoiling yourself,,, You don't need isma's for a lot of things and it's not what I was trying to guide you to. Just try to explore the unexplored places on your map of waterways||
it's a bit to the right of the center
||ok. ive been on fandom and reddit a lot oof. ill try to spoil myself less on silksong ;-; ok thx||
does dying in ||dreamer battles like failed champion,lost kin and others bosses end a steel soul run? also does dying in white palace and godhome also end steel soul run||
|| white palace yes rest no ||
Other than || warrior dreams those kill ||
||PS: dying in radiance also fails the run.||
question how do i add mod version of hollow knight?
Im trying to get the different skin
dont know where to get it lol
(See #modding-discussion)
The YouTube channel "fireb0rn" has a guide on how to setup HK modding
I think they got it
||guys what the best charm build to fight nkg and what are the best tips im having a hard time||
||figure out something to do for each of his attacks||
what about charms
||nail build probably||
can i see your inventory and ||charms||
make sure to spoiler tag the image
i maxed all
okay so:
||1. charge up a great slash in between attacks
2. dash away or into him for the uppercut, then great slash him. the flames will spawn relative to where the attack ends, so you can sneak in a heal
3. for the drill, cyclone him if possible, otherwise great slash
4. for flame pillars, you can dash slash, abyss shriek, do whatever the hell you want this attack is too vulnerable. you can also heal at the end||
Any good builds for || radiant sly||
for charms, i would say ||nailmaster's glory(if you dont have time to charge nail arts), shaman stone, spell twister, and the rest is sort of up to you. some filler charm ideas can be soul eater, sprintmaster, and shape of unn||
alr ty
i personally use something along the lines of ||quick slash fragile strength grubberfly's elegy/mark of pride and then spell twister/steady body+nailmasters glory||
||mark of pride/elegy allow you to get some hits in during his triple attack, though you could also use shaman, which might actually be better||
Yeah that's what I'm doing his second phase takes SOOO long
yes i found where now i need to figure how now lol
oh yea i saw his channel im going 
its gonna take a while (?)
use ||nail arts||
oki i will try that
Wair that's actually smart
Would ||great slash || reach him btw ? From a safe distance
for that, youd need to wait for his attack to end
||you can also use dash slash, which does has a chance of you dashing into him, but imo its safer||
||btw the great slash using pure nail is 3x a hit?||
Yeah I don't trust myself to use || dash slash || but thanks for the help imma go sleep now I'm too tried
||250%||
||2.5 hits||
yea someone told me to spoiler tag ||grub|| loll
you can run ||sprint/dash master to make it a bit easier to setup, though this is only if your chokepoint is phase 2||
thats a spoiler
but you know that since the beginning
I mean that one maybe since it's in the game but a number is just a number
Yeah I always no hit the first one
you can get away with an ||abyss shriek|| right as the ||phase changes||
||i got 103% even without fighting the hollow knight it looks weird for me ngl||
As in when || he's doing that intro aura farming mid air ?||
yes
no hit phase 3
cant wait to die again
||it's absrad||
GG!
Damn
yea thas hard
yea but she tp fast
so i fall and they lock onto me
i have to pogo twice then ||dash||
hmm
that's not a good strat
||dash|| needs tags
its weird that it needs tag
its literally right there when you open your controls
to change the binds
there's a lot of spoilers in the controls
did you do the pogo strat 
which is what people said in an attempt to be "cool" and "smart" while arguing for pointless loopholes
and then the rules had to get changed a few times to now be literally everything
i paniced
but yea
||hey how many times does nkg does that bats thing? cuz i got him to do it twice||
3 times!
it's not very good. But anyway use what you want
bruh im still far away then 😩
each one happens at ||25% health intervals||
and the good is?
||they are talking about the staggers, not the pufferfish methinks||
so i've done half 😩
oh that right yeah i forgot i should get back to hk
those are based off ||numbers of hits||
the ||pufferfish is a health indicator||
i made him to do 3 ig
so what should i do
imma go back to beating em
||You want to ideally start the phase with a shriek if you have soul.
Then the main strat is staying on the left platform and always using double jump to lure the orbs off screen. Hit radiance if she is close. Don't follow her around. You can use shade soul if she is on the other side if you want but it's not necessary.
Here are demonstrations:
#hk-help message||
what are you talking about?
do you mean the second video?
omg bro i just beated him, can't believe it didnt take me that much time to beat him
nice
GG!
ty man
tell me again when to know she will ||use the sword attack ||
it takes me by suprise
if iam already in the middle or far on the opposite side
which one?
swords coming from the side
i used this build to beat ||nkg|| and ngl that was the best decision i've made it helped me a lot especially ||the sharp shadow dash and heroic odeur thing||
i will be honest
that look horrible but congrats
thats always how beating ||nkg for the first time look like||
it perfectly fits the style i used to beat him
||it's not super easy to know that.
Generally she will always either do a sword wall or a beam wall when she delays her teleport. So when she finishes an attack for example but stays in the same spot for a bit longer.
An easier telegraph is the sound of spawning swords that you can hear if you listen carefully. Try turning down the music and listen to the audio cues more.
All of this is not super necessary though if you just don't follow her around. Stay on your platform and at most move to an adjacent one. If you don't randomly dash in one direction you aren't gonna get hit suddenly by a sword wall||
use save analyzer
where is it
and do ||missing bosses, charms, panteons||
wait do i need to do all ||pantheons||? i did ||all charms|| and idk if i miss some bosses or no
oh i found the website
||im only missing 1 dream warrior the 4 pantheons and 2400 essence quest and trial f fools||
@shut sparrow
i had 3 masks and panicked so i ||threw every shriek i had without giving a damn||
wtf CONGRATS!! 
happens
it's also not very consistent if you don't do it right
how do i get more ||escence|| ive ||beat every dream boss and i only have 1200 escence and only one more wispering root||
tag ur message
yes
tag it spoiler tag it
but ||markoth gailen i think is his name the bouncing grub dude xero them||
the ones like that
oh ||does lost kin give some||
||what about white defender?||
yeah im not ready for ||nkg yet||
how do i access him tho
he not where i first found him
how get their
there
oh
tag ||dive spell||
its spoilers
but ur spoiling a part of the gamer
so tag it
saying like ||ddark is spoilers because its a spell||
read the terms and conditions
||ddive is the exact same thing||
||spell is spoilers u dont have spells right off the bat||
||but desolate dive is still spoilers||
||yes they do||
well it sucks but not everybody is at that point
so u need to tag stuff
not everybody knows that tho
here lets see
what happens if i do this
idk
yes bet who knows that ||wj means mantis claw||
just talk to grubsenf when hes on hell explain better
he'll
what point in the game are u
tag that
then remember it the first time
What
he getting mad because i told him to tag spoilers
hey im american
Hm? Did somebody say something?
talk all u want about ny tho
because ppl dont know it exists
Yet another charms question, because i'm obsessed with finding a good build now that i'm in the late-game:
||Strength, quick slash, and steady body are my staples. You won't find me without 'em. Now, I'm a nail-focused guy (fight me), but I am trying to weave in more spells against bosses. With four notches remaining, I'm contemplating shamans and maybe grubsong(?), but i've also heard people singing spell twister's praises, and then i can fit on a helpful two-notcher like longnail or whatnot. i dunno. for all you spell dorks, which is better for a hybrid-build-kinda-thingamajig?||
You still said the name of the area
yeah
It's not that big of a deal to just follow the rules
If you can't follow them, then leave
||yes shaman stone + gsong is good, u can also consider nmg instead of gsong if u use narts||
engi ||shaman stone is always good for spells but if ur using speels against rad dont use grubsong because rad oneshots if u are doing rad u can use over charm to use like soul catcher.||
everything about the game is a spoiler good job
Then just spoiler tag everything 
Which is why they come to Help...
Where there are spoiler tags...
this is a help channel they ask for help if they rlly need it
ez ||not sharp shadow tackle it on||
yeah but for ||pop|| heck no that would be pain
go to general or random or offtopic
yes
now tag it
and
its not the knight is who u are
but if u say ||the hollow knight|| yeah
||pure vessel exists ediot||
but its a boss
@somber jasper if you dont wanna follow channel rules you are free to leave, each rule here serves a purpose even if to you it looks dumb on the first place.
Finally a modding staff is here
Everything is explained in the pinned messages and if you want any further explanation on a certain topic i am happy to inform
Otherwise use spoiler tags or simple dont use the channel
Refer to the message above you
theres rules for a reasp
They r just reminding u of the channel rules, if u do not agree then u dont have to participate in this channel
ok leave
Ok so
It is
if you learned how to read youd understand the purpose of this channel
"stupid spoilers" like ||forgotten crossroads arent set up because they could spoil a players experience, thats stupid||
theyre set up that way because this is a big public server, and if we do not keep a strict line about the rules people WILL do EVERYTHING on their power to abuse them
chill out budd y
u can help people but u have to follow the rules
practically yes, because if we dont set it that way, we will have people flood this channel looking for ways to break the rule
for the third time learn how to read and calm down, thanks
If u actually spent the time to read the pins u would know which phrases u don’t need to spoiler
well if you dont calm down im just simply going to mute you
there are people who want to not have spoilers for anything
thats valid
stop being a lazy silly
clicking spoiler text isn't an olympic marathon you fucking crybaby
have a breath, re read my messages
you know what i am done aswell
bye
blaz
They left I think, good riddance
now that, that guys meltdown is over and gone can someone help me locate ||white defender?||
have you beaten ||dung boi||
i assume so
so you know the ||lever just past the arena||
yes
just ||dive into the floor underneath that||
ok ty
🙂
wait do i have to tag ||charms?||
just ||charms||not like ||wayward compass||
charms is not a spoiler
||I assume u have dnail since u r asking about white defender. If that’s the case there should be three masks on ur map marking the locations of dreamers, u need to get to all three of them and kill them. If u haven’t killed all dreamers yet, u can’t access white defender in the overworld||
||HOW THE FUCK DO U COMPLETE THE ROOM BEFORE U GET GREAT SLASH ABILITY?!||
spoiler it but send a pic of ur ||map||
and inventory please just so i know where u are
||it's the long room with the thorns and giant bugs and u gotta spam the super dash to get thru||
please send a picture of where ||ur masks and nail shows|| so i know what u mean
This room:
||Does anyone know if the protector charms such as Grimmchild or Weaversong attack the mantises if you already beat the mantis lords I'm tryna do delicate flower||
i dont know actually good question
||I'm about to start that too in a bit||
||nothing more than timing your cdash||
yeah i didnt know if he had that
in the last one though ||you might want to cancel the cdash halfway through and start pogoing the enemies||
thats why i wanted his inventory and stuff
||I have the super dash and wings||
theyve been here before thats how i know
plus they directly mentioned ||greatslash||
tags please
hey ur an admin for the server right?
5 was generous
||they will attack the mantises even if the mantises aren’t hostile, it’s the same for the jellyfishes in fog canyon, even tho they aren’t hostile they will still attack them.||
achow do you know if i get anything for doing ||white defender a bunch?|| like the ||zote statue||
||How do I get into this unaccessilble area? I've explored most of the western side of the City of Tears, but I'm not sure how to get over here...||
||youll get to that side via another path, keep exploring||
later in the game u will get there
keep moving on
please tag that photo
and ur message

|| whatever speaks to you ||
nothing you need for progression is locked behind || shops || so it's really whatever you want
|| I am stuck in deepnest without tram pass, or lantern, and without dream nail||
Get || tram pass ||
I don't think you need || lantern || too badly
Image spoilers
I did put a image spoiler on there
Nope
What you mean?
Oh you did
THIS IS THE THIED TIME IVE FORGOTTEN I CLICKED THE SPOILER
I'm so stupid mb
You should be fine
It's ok
|| just get tram pass or just leave ||
K
Oh can you delete this image it has me saying || lantern || with the spoiler off
|| and if you mean leaving by mantis I am practicing any% rn and skipped mantis lords||
Kk
Don't speedruns do || deepnest dark? ||
Oh they go through || qga ||
Qga?
You should probably spoiler tag ||QGA if it does refer to Queens Garden Acid skip||
||any% gets lantern so no||
|| I got to practice that||
If u r talking about other categories then maybe
Did the Brit leave
You're afraid of British people?
||is it me or when i spam a boss like pure vessel like 100 times, i suddenly become bad at beating him, so i was perfectly fine before that, but suddenly its like my first time touching that boss||
Wait || kings pass || is a spoiler?
Just wanna know if someone can relate or anything, i feel like this is my problem
Idk I've never done it
Although I do see it starting to happen when I do || absrad || a lot
||the number was random i just really love pure vessel||
YEAH
also her
i become more hesitant suddenly
Which allows me to take hits i wouldn't take normally
For me I get too excited and rush through everything taking tons of damage
Like I just want to get to a phase shift so I start getting greedy
Honestly i always rush her, when im patient i always get hesitant and i panick waiting for the ||orbs for example|| so i can dodge them
but i manage to get hit anyways lol
So true..
||absrad is such a long boss but its fun when im not getting hit||
||especially the climbing part which i still hate to this day 👀||
I've been literally 5 hit full HP to death comboed on that
|| I just beat hornet and idk where to go ||
||god forbid someone do radiant without this phase||
