[wet kraken]

I’m getting progressively worse

[shut sparrow]

maybe you should take a break

[dawn grove]

I didn't intend for a joke to be analysed but

[lost vale]

yeah, breaks really help

[wet kraken]

My first attempt lasted longest😭

[shut sparrow]

you're welcome

[wet kraken]

I’m gonna

[dawn grove]

Come back next time and ||do a few attempts only observing the boss and figuring out how to dodge some attacks before actually doing serious attempts||

[wet kraken]

Actually I need sleep

[wet kraken]

I’ve been trying that…

And my average attempt still lasts under 15 seconds..

[dawn grove]

Which attacks do you struggle with

[lost vale]

i mean for ||NKG even with serious attempts its mainly dodging||

[wet kraken]

All except ||spikes||

[opaque coral]

can someone send me a photo of all badges in the game? for some reason mine wont show

[wet kraken]

Also, does ||nkg|| lock any percentage??

[lost vale]

badges? u mean achievements?

[shut sparrow]

no

[wet kraken]

I’m at 105

[lost vale]

no

[opaque coral]

yea

[lost vale]

steam or ingame?

[wet kraken]

I know I have ||grubberflys elegy, white defender, soul tyrant, and probably a bit more||

[shut sparrow]

you can see them on the wiki if you look up achievements hollow knight

[wet kraken]

Good

I want 112%

Oh, and ||p3+4 and Colo 3||

[opaque coral]

what is ||nkg?||

[shut sparrow]

a difficult boss

[lost vale]

if u dont mind spoilers(doubt u would have much at 105%) go to the hollow knight checklist to see what u have left

[wet kraken]

And I’m Pretty sure just ||white flower mask shard||

[opaque coral]

which one

[lost vale]

||nightmare king grimm||

[wet kraken]

Don’t spoil it

[wet kraken]

Fuck

[lost vale]

they asked

[wet kraken]

You

If they ask for it

[opaque coral]

ok

[wet kraken]

Ask smth like “are you sure you want a big spoiler” “it could make the game less enjoyable”

[shut sparrow]

imo it's fine

[dawn grove]

||Uppercut into flames attack: Either pogo over the boss or dash away when he dashes at you, then stand next to where he was before going up and the flames will never hit you
Dash from above: Dash away, then jump over and use wings to avoid the flames. You can try to pogo over the 2nd dash instead, but I don't recommend it if you're learning the boss
Flame pillars: Slowly walk towards the boss and if you feel confident enough try to get a few hits in. The safest option is to use your spell that hits above after moving out of the way of the last flame pillar.||
Easier said than done

[lost vale]

i mean grubsenf already said "a difficult boss," they asked further so obv they want it

[opaque coral]

||nightmare grim is easy when u know the strat||

[dawn grove]

It would probably help if you saw a demonstration from someone on youtube. Maybe search up the boss and study players' movements

[opaque coral]

|| i beat him on radiant twice||

[wet kraken]

Bro says “what boss is it” “it’s easy when you know”

[opaque coral]

i remembered suddenly

tf is an acronym

[lost vale]

bro acronyms are weird

[shut sparrow]

an abbreviation abbreviating multiple words

like tf

[lost vale]

abbreviations

[opaque coral]

oh ok

||how on earth do i beat markoth on radiant||

[shut sparrow]

||use nailarts. Don't chase him all the time. Save your soul for spells in the second phase||

[lost vale]

hes honestly not as bad as many people make him seem

[opaque coral]

he is

[lost vale]

||what charms do u have? i assume most/all since ur in godhome||

[opaque coral]

||took me more tries to beat him on ascendent than to beat both grims on radiant||

[opaque coral]

every single one

[shut sparrow]

I recommend ||shaman stone, soul catcher, spell twister, heavy blow, nailmaster's glory, soul eater||

[opaque coral]

ok ill try that

only one i dont have is ||kingsoul||

[dawn grove]

Someone posted a whole message with tips and stuff for ||Radiant Markoth|| right

[lost vale]

||17 hits with strength sends him into second phase, so try to do 16 and wait for his shield spin attack, then spam with spells and nails||

[dawn grove]

I remember

[shut sparrow]

||make sure to use pretty much only nailarts||

[shut sparrow]

people often do

[opaque coral]

kk

[lost vale]

||strength doesnt increase nailart dmg right?||

[shut sparrow]

yes

[opaque coral]

makin my way to ||godhome||

[lost vale]

yeah thought so, ||475dmg to get markoth to second phase, so thats 9 great slashes and one regular hit for second phase||

assumming ||pure nail ofc||

[shut sparrow]

||9 great slashes deal over 475||

[lost vale]

||1 great slash is 52dmg, 9 is 468||

[frail musk]

That one lol, and that was exactly what I did lol

Charms: ||Unbreakable Strength, Grimmchild, Wayward Compass (I know to get rid of it lol), and Mark of Pride||

[shut sparrow]

nvm

yeah thought it was 53

[lost vale]

i mean ||2.5 x 21 is 52.5, hollow knight rounds down i think||

[dawn grove]

Found it

[dawn grove]

I replied to a message that can help you

[jagged widget]

||test||

well it's been a time since i played and i still cant beat ||absolute radiance in radiant|| i even did ||markoth|| and ||did a no hit on abs radiance|| but when i get to ||radiant mode|| i can't beat itt

i think now that it's been a while i can focus more

[lost vale]

if you already did no hit on ||absrad, you already beat radiant technically cause attuned, asc and rad all have the same hp||

[jagged widget]

i think it was rng it was one out of the 50ish times i beated it

[lost vale]

fr, I felt like ||rad absrad was mainly about how many times she did the bullsht ball attacks lol||

[shut sparrow]

||it's normal that absrad on radiant takes very long. It took me like 10 hours back when I did it.
What exactly are you looking for help for though? Is there anything specific like an attack or a phase you struggle with?||

[lost vale]

I took almost exactly 10hrs as well, it takes time

[shut sparrow]

damn wtf I remember seeing you in help like a year ago

[jagged widget]

when she(?) goes up up to the middle

[lost vale]

wdym? ||the spear rain?||

[shut sparrow]

||wdym by "up to the middle"? A specific phase?||

[jagged widget]

in the middle the fourth phase i think

[dawn grove]

||Plats? Climb?||

[lost vale]

||second/4th phase?||

[opaque coral]

||does a great slash deal the same damage as a dash slash?||

[lost vale]

||like with all the floating platforms?||

[shut sparrow]

yes

[lost vale]

yes

[dawn grove]

Ye I think 2.5x

[lost vale]

both ||52dmg with pure nail||

[jagged widget]

yes

you helped me with markoth

thank you again for that

like 15 months ago

[shut sparrow]

I don't remember but yw

[lost vale]

gubsenf is the goat in hk-help lol

[shut sparrow]

there are better players here

and my peak activity is long over

[lost vale]

ok anyways, ||for the middle phase, there are certain platforms where u can upslash absrad w/o needing to jump, lemme try to find a pic||

[last sail]

What charms should I use for ||grimm||

[jagged widget]

depends on your play style but i would recommend || strenght quick slash chaman stone|| also what charms do you have?

uuh

i'm gonna read the rules again

[last sail]

All charms

[last sail]

But i need ||grimmchild|| as well

[dawn grove]

Normal ||Grimm||?

[last sail]

Yeah

[jagged widget]

oh i forgot then you could replace ||chaman stone|| for ||nailmaster's glory||

[dawn grove]

Do you like to use ||narts, spells etc|| or are you a ||nail|| person (or a combination)

[last sail]

||Nail||

[jagged widget]

how many ||notchs|| do you have?

[last sail]

10

[dawn grove]

||Quick slash and Strength|| are a must. Honestly you could equip any other ||charm you want like Mark of Pride/longnail and grubsong|| could be good. You just gotta get a hang of the moves and you're good

[jagged widget]

||long nail strenght quick slash||

[lost vale]

||Stick to the bottom 3 platforms, if absrad teleports to them u can upslash w/o nail lengthening charms, dont try to go anywhere else, dodge everything while sticking in that area. ||
||For the orbs, if they spawn somewhat far away, i like to lure them on the bottom platform, then jump away to get them to hit it. If they spawn next to you, either dash away to a further platform, or ddark and pray. ||
||If absrad's eyes light up, it means shes about to do either the beams or spears that come out from her face. ddark if you're next to her, cause the spears can and will spawn on top of you.||
||I try to shriek her if she finishes an attack and is near the top of the arena, but it is kinda risky. The main source of damage in this phase is lucking out and having her teleport to one of those three platforms, and u dealing a lot of dmg with the nail. ||
||I overcharm w/ soul eater, shaman, strength, quickslash, and steady body. When in doubt, decending dark.||
Feel free to correct me, since I only recently beat her on ||radiant,|| and extremly jankily

[lost vale]

Do you have any questions on other phases?

[jagged widget]

the last

i can't do anything but pause

[last sail]

When should I heal

[lost vale]

||I believe it only takes 10 hits w/strength to end the last phase, tho she needs to be in the center for the last hit to count. pogo 2-3 times on each teleport, and dash and wing to the next location when she warps away. try to lure the orbs offscreen above the arena; they'll despawn. Ddark if ur uncomfortable, but make sure u dont dive straight into the void. ||

[lost vale]

||when ur safe inbetween the gaps of the spike attack, and when he's staggered||

[last sail]

Ok, thanks

[lost vale]

If u need, take a slight break to calm down ur nerves, especially after reaching the top after ||the climb phase.|| I sold around 4 runs to the final phase, probably due to nerves

[sinful vortex]

what does 63/63 mean again

like does it mean all achievemebts

[lost vale]

achievements

[jagged widget]

all 63 achivements

The only one i dont have is the ||extra ending|| cus i got bored

[lost vale]

Im going for all of my remaining achievements on one ||steel soul file, died to fricking crystal guardian last run cause my game lagged ||

[last sail]

The only time I can heal is the spike attack for me

[shut sparrow]

that's a very risky strat

it's only really done on modded bosses or by very good players

[lost vale]

and im a very risky and aggressive player lol, my playstyle does not let me be passive

[shut sparrow]

risky and aggressive is a difference

risky is simply bad

[lost vale]

and im both...

[shut sparrow]

that doesn't make it a good strat

[dawn grove]

On the ||uppercut attack||, stand next to where ||Grimm|| was before going up and heal where the ||flames|| can't hit you

[last sail]

Ok

[dawn grove]

Might take a few times to find the exact spot but once you do you'll get it every time

[last sail]

Ok

[shut sparrow]

||try to use shriek at the start and dodge orbs by leading the off screen with a double jump. If you want I can send a video for it||

||https://youtu.be/vk3x0KBl5V4|| here's a video for healing on ||nkg||

[jagged widget]

||i'm afraid that i will fall into the orbs or into the void|| i'm going to try it anyways ty

[lost vale]

its ||TMG||

[jagged widget]

normal

[shut sparrow]

[shut sparrow]

you won't if you time the jumps right and jump high enough

[vivid fog]

any un-tagged messages/images/videos that i should delete?

[last sail]

How many staggers does he have

[shut sparrow]

you can delete #hk-help message if you want

[shut sparrow]

staggers usually depend on the amount of hits. Not the damage dealt. So it really depends on many factors.
What is always the same is his ||pufferfish attack. He does it at 75%, 50% and 25% health||

[lost vale]

stagger value is 14 hits ||what nail do u have?||

combo is 12, but i dont really understand what that means

||troupe master grimm has 1000hp||

[sinful vortex]

ah alr

[shut sparrow]

||combo means successive hits. So the boss will stagger in 12 hits if you do them quickly after one another. Each boss that also has a stagger combo value has an individual time for how long you can take in between each hit for it to count as a combo.
For Grimm for example that's 1s. So if you hit him 12 times each hit being less that 1 second after the other he will stagger after the 12th hit. If at any point it took you longer than 1s to hit him he will stagger normally after the 14th hit||

[last sail]

I did the math's and it should take 38 hits for me to kill him

[lost vale]

so for example, if i hit him 11 times each <1sec(somehow) and wait more than 1sec for the 12th hit, it all resets and i need 14 hits?

[shut sparrow]

yes

it doesn't "reset" in the sense that you need 14 more but you need 14 total so 2 more

[lost vale]

ok so its practically impossible for his combo stagger to work cause ||grimm teleports so much right?||

[dawn grove]

Does the timer continue when ||Grimm|| teleports and isn't on screen?

[shut sparrow]

yes

[shut sparrow]

||not sure how long he isn't on screen for. I doubt it's a full second though so it's probably possible. Especially considering shriek on pufferfish||

[lost vale]

oh yeah, what ||spells count for stagger? i assume each hit for shriek doesnt count, but what about double hits with shade soul and ddark dmg values? and what about cyclone slash? is there a video that explains it in depth?||

[shut sparrow]

each hit counts

for everything regarding ||nail and spells (excluding flukenest)||

[lost vale]

dang, that would mean ||ddark and shriek are broken staggers cause ddark has 3 damaging parts and shriek has 4||

[dawn grove]

[lost vale]

that doesnt seem right tho, I swear I've hit bosses with many ||shrieks|| and still took a lot of swings to stagger

[shut sparrow]

||it's not like they are that much faster than sbody + qslash tho||

[meager tulip]

hey guys quick question if you do the invisibility glitch (which prevents you from collecting geo) if you save and quit the game when you boot it up again will geo be collected normally?

[shut sparrow]

well... it's true tho

you probably just missed the combo. It can have a pretty big effect

also some bosses just have very high stagger values in general

[shut sparrow]

invisibility glitch? I'd ask in #speedrunning or #modding-discussion

[lost vale]

nice, now add one more |

[shut sparrow]

congrats!!

[last sail]

Yay

[last sail]

I got annoyed so I just deleted it

Yk what

I beat ||troup master grimm||

[sharp torrent]

yes

[meager tulip]

Okayy thanks a lot

[finite thunder]

||is there any way to tell oro and mato apart? struggling with p1||

[warped kite]

||just look at their nail attack
Other than that there's no other way to know who's who unless you memories it||

[finite thunder]

alright ty

[warped kite]

Np
And good luck with ||P1||

[knotty karma]

I need help with sm

Im having like a LOT of trouble beating ||mantis warriors||

Any tips on how to do that?

[jade sedge]

Please add spoiler tags to your message

[knotty karma]

Idk whats spoiler in it but oke

[jade sedge]

Here basically all ingame content needs spoiler tags

[finite thunder]

you just have to add spoilers to hk related content

[knotty karma]

Oh alr

[jade sedge]

||One way is to go close, hit once and immediately dash away. Vengeful spirit is helpful if you have soul. You can also try to pogo them, they use the upwards slash only after you are above them for a while, so you can either hit, pogo and repeat, or try to get two pogos before they hit||

[knotty karma]

||I domt think i unlocked dashing yet, is it a charm?||

[finite thunder]

||you get it from defeating hornet in greenpath||

[knotty karma]

Oh really?

Im pretty sure i did that alrd

[finite thunder]

||she drops a cloak that allows you to dash when defeated, perhaps you just didnt pick it up?||

[knotty karma]

Thats weird, ill check tho thanks

Whats the key to di that? Mabye im just dumb its been a while since last time i played

[jade sedge]

||Mothwing cloak||

[finite thunder]

||there's no key, if you look at the greenpath map there should be a big area with the symbol of 3 pillars, that's where you fight hornet and where the cloak should be||

[knotty karma]

Yes but whats the button to ||dash||

Not a key key, a key button lmao

[finite thunder]

||i forgot the default button for it, but if you press escape to menu, click options then keyboard it should show you||

[knotty karma]

Ok

[finite thunder]

or if your controller then press controller

[knotty karma]

Also since im here is it possible to export and import saves? I wanna move on pc

[marsh dust]

||why is it that sometimes when i hold m1 to charge nail arts i stop being able to move if i was statinary before holding or i just keep walking in one direction if i was moving?||

Save Files

What do save files looks like?

• Each Hollow Knight save file is a user#.dat where # is the save slot for the file
• You can rename user3.dat to user1.dat to set it to your first save slot
• You can keep a copy of all of your save files by copy and pasting them into a different folder on your computer

Reverting Backups

• Automatic backups are called user#.dat.bak#, where the first # is the save slot, and the second # is the backup number. You will usually have your last three backups
• You restore a backup by deleting the main file, and then removing the .bak# part of the backup version

Modded Saves

• A modded save may also have a user#.modded.json (and similarly named backup). This file and the user#.dat are part of the save

Where are the files?

• On windows, the default path for Save Files is:
  • %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
  • You should just copy and paste that path directly into the File Explorer path bar at the top.
• For other operating systems (and Xbox Games), type ?tag saves into chat

I need a specific type of save file

• Various save files can be found in the "Saves" section of this page: https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/resources
  • If the file you download is a .rar or other archived format, then you will need to extract it with something like 7zip

Editing save files

• MoreSaves: With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the Menu, by going to Options > Mods > MoreSaves
• QoL: Opening a save with QOL installed will create an extra save file called user#.json, which can be edited using Notepad or a similar text editor
• DebugMod: While not an intended purpose, you can edit some parts of your save file using Debug, such as Nail Damage, and those changes will remain even after uninstalling the mod
• Website: https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/

[sinful vortex]

||oblobbles, marmu AND THE FUCKER SHEO||

||I also take a bit of unnecessary hits against nosk||

[vital ice]

||For oblobbles focus on getting away from them when they go submachine mode||

[hard minnow]

|| When I have 3 blue heart, I take one hit, lose 2 heart, take a second hit, lose 3 heart

Then when I get to the next breakroom and popped the cocoon wich is supposed to give me 3 blue hearts, I only got 2 and the third visually seems to fuse with my ninth mask

so I am basically being roobed 2 masks ||

[vital ice]

||Don't hit marmu up and try to hit them sideways cus if she hits a wall she speeds up||

Fair enough

[hard minnow]

So does anybody have an explanation for my bug?

[vital ice]

No not really but if I'm not mistaken you don't lose any masks and it's just a visual glitch

[gaunt idol]

Question how much dose ||vengeful spirt|| do with ||shaman stone ||

[hard minnow]

I do lose masks
|| an atack wich is suppose to do 2 mask does 3 and a cochon wich is supposed to give me 3 mask give me 2 and make my healthbae glitch ||

[sinful vortex]

||~64 dmg||

||can do more if it hits multiple times||

[velvet flower]

hello ||i have already defeated? all the 3 dreamers and i have fought with the hollow knight and defeated him too so now ig im working for game completion and im kind of confused, i believe i have discovered all the areas, the only thing left is the dream nail 1600 essence task, so i wanted to know what else i could have missed, i have 87% completion currently||

[vital ice]

Ok can you like send a clip of it doing that?

[hard minnow]

Does anybody knows how to take vidéo on switch?

[vital ice]

||You can get a special Cutscene once you reach 2400 essence||

[sinful vortex]

Oh

[vital ice]

||But you do need them for Pantheons||

[hard minnow]

You don't

[sinful vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-lick-tongue-cute-kitty-gif-828346164058086451

[hard minnow]

|| they just spawn right into it ||

[velvet flower]

||how many endings are there? is defeating the hollow knight and taking his place one of them? also what are the requirements of the endgings ig? also the last time i saw hornet was when i defeated the third beast dreamer, is there any other thing i can do which would change the ending?||

[sinful vortex]

no thoughts head empty

[torpid cove]

||what's best charms for p3? I use strength qslash longnail and shaman||

[velvet flower]

here?

[vital ice]

||P2 starts against Xero||

[stoic cedar]

||20 damage||

[stoic cedar]

Where did u get this number from, it’s completely wrong

[sinful vortex]

saw it on a video

[vital ice]

||Get 1800 essence||

[sinful vortex]

not 100% sure

[sinful vortex]

Yeah

[gaunt idol]

Why are there to different numbers

[sinful vortex]

OH SHIT

[velvet flower]

dem 2400 how ||i only have 3 bosses left to deafeat, false champion, lost kin and white defender, i have defeated all the other dream warriors||

[sinful vortex]

||I thought they were talking about shade spirit nvm||

idk abt ||vengeful spirit||

[hard minnow]

|| he is a dream warrior not à dream boss
Dream bosses are:
Failed champion
White protecto
Lost kin
soûl tyran
Nkg
Gpz
Radiance ||

[stoic cedar]

||shade soul + shaman stone also does not deal 64 damage, so u would also be wrong there||

[sinful vortex]

[vital ice]

||Ok get 1800 Essence||

[stoic cedar]

||its 20 damage, no other number||

[vital ice]

||Then go to hidden station||

[thick wing]

Morning chat

[vital ice]

||After going left you'll bump into a pile of white armour||

[sinful vortex]

||get 1.8k essence, talk to seer, then go to a corpse near hidden station||

[thick wing]

I'm going for ||true 100%||, what's are some things I might miss

[gaunt idol]

Okay and for ||desolate dive|| its 53 with ||shaman stone|| right

[vital ice]

||Dreamnail it||

[velvet flower]

||ohh i see thanks now i remember i couldnt dream nail that soldier||

[sinful vortex]

ALSO DONT USE ||HEAVY BLOW||

[vital ice]

||An arcane egg at the lifeblood core room||

[thick wing]

Nvm no ||true 100%||

[velvet flower]

||yes 😭 i was just about to change it, i saw a cheese on white defender and i thought it would be helpful||

[vital ice]

||After dream nailing him prepare for something different||

[thick wing]

Something hard

[half hornet]

||p2?|| i did till ||P4|| lmao till ||p4 is easy ngl||

also

[velvet flower]

as in difficulty? 😭

[stoic cedar]

||yes, although desolate dive has two hitboxes and u only get 53 damage if both hitboxes connect||

[half hornet]

i alr beat ||hornet now||

[hard minnow]

|| in P5, It's pretty good against dream warrior (with nail Master charm)||

[sinful vortex]

get your parkour skills ready

[vital ice]

Exactly

[sinful vortex]

||which dream warrior theres like 7 of them||

[thick wing]

No? Basically useless

[velvet flower]

i see lol thank you

[hard minnow]

|| 3 hit boxes ||

[gaunt idol]

And how do I know if both connect

[sinful vortex]

You’ll hear two hit noises

[hard minnow]

|| all exept marmu ||

[stoic cedar]

||descending dark is the one that has three hitboxes, not desolate dive||

[vital ice]

You heard of ||Path of Pain|| right?

[sinful vortex]

||mm yes I love pushing the floating enemies away from me||

||it’s not good at all vro||

[velvet flower]

uh no? 😭 sounds scary tho

[gaunt idol]

Such a memable charm

[hard minnow]

|| ok, first galen is also an exeption I forgot, but
Xeno and gorb are better far away than close
Since you can hit no eyes only once every bloodmoon, better make it worth
It is litteraly vital against markoth

[velvet flower]

||i just defeated the white defender and now i have the option to fight him again ,but this time i lose 2 hearts every hit, whats up with that?||

[hard minnow]

||You get a statue of yourself||

[hard minnow]

[vital ice]

||No just white defender||

||Beat him five times=dung statue||

[hard minnow]

||you can also do the same with gpz(mb you didn't fight him yet)||

[velvet flower]

[vital ice]

It is a nightmare

[velvet flower]

||than white armour or boss?||

[vital ice]

||Armour||

[sinful vortex]

||white armour first||

[hard minnow]

Boss

[vital ice]

No not yet

[sinful vortex]

||collect your awakened dream nail from seer first tho||

[velvet flower]

dem

[smoky shard]

Which abilities do I need for || path of pain ||

[hard minnow]

||it is quicker||

[velvet flower]

i just did

[vital ice]

Do you have all the movement items?

[smoky shard]

I have || dash and walljump ||

[sinful vortex]

1. spoilers
2. ||shade cloak, monarch wings, mantis claw, crystal heart||

[vital ice]

||What movement items do you have?||

[sinful vortex]

all of them

she sent her inventory earlier

[hard minnow]

||is shade cloak required||?

[sinful vortex]

nah but it’s better to have it

I think it gives more distance

[smoky shard]

Uhh so || dash and walljump || won’t get me far?

[sinful vortex]

no

[amber perch]

thats ||sharp shadow||

[hard minnow]

Tested it, it doesn't

[sinful vortex]

you won’t even reach the ||first bench||

[sinful vortex]

nvm then

[amber perch]

which i wouldnt recommend since you probably wont be used to it

[smoky shard]

Surely someone has done it with only those 2

[velvet flower]

||i dont think you can even reach path of pain with that||

[sinful vortex]

I think it’s physically impossible to even get past the first area

[smoky shard]

Oh 😭

[vital ice]

No it is literally impossible

[smoky shard]

Oh

[hard minnow]

||how did you get to with palace without wings||?

[amber perch]

i think you can do it with ||dash walljump and vengeful spirit||

[sinful vortex]

I mean you could ||shade skip||

[smoky shard]

Im not there I just saw someone doing the parkour stuff and it looked fun asf

[velvet flower]

||idk that lmao||

[vital ice]

It isnt

[amber perch]

oh wait ||path of pain i was thjinking white palace||

[sinful vortex]

||just pogo off your shade||

[smoky shard]

I think it is

[velvet flower]

||ohhhh i see||

[sinful vortex]

I’m gonna save this message

[vital ice]

Trust me I did it before

[shell hornet]

I'd like to replay the game and make it much harder, but without necessarily playing on ||steel heart||, I thought about ||not upgrading my nail ||whatsoever but do you guys have any other idea of rules I could impose on myself to make it harder?

[sinful vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-lick-tongue-cute-kitty-gif-828346164058086451

[vital ice]

||No spells||

[smoky shard]

Okay so how long would it take to get those abilities

[vital ice]

A bit

[amber perch]

you can restrict ||mask/soul upgrades||

[hard minnow]

Not really fun, just make the fights longer (||and flukemarm/collector become impossible||)

[shell hornet]

I'll need it to go to ||greenpath ||though

[sinful vortex]

||1) no leaving the game unless you’re in a completely safe area
2) no healing unless you’re at a bench
3) no stags
4) no extra masks or soul vessels
5) no extra charm notches||

[smoky shard]

Do I need || down dash ||

Im close to it

[sinful vortex]

||desolate dive?||

[vital ice]

||Ok only use them when required||

[sinful vortex]

no

[shell hornet]

But I'm quite sure some can't be avoided, right?

[smoky shard]

Wha

[hard minnow]

||dash master||?

[vital ice]

No they can be avoided

[shell hornet]

All?

[sinful vortex]

||if you do some fucked up and evil tech you can kill the baldur without vengeful spirit||

[smoky shard]

|| ability to dash down into cracks I mean ||

[amber perch]

||no full upgrades are required, the seer gives you a mask but i think thats it if you're going for max completion||

[hard minnow]

Why not?

[vital ice]

||Thats desolate dive||

[sinful vortex]

||that’s desolate dive, and yes it’s required to progress in the game||

[shell hornet]

Sounds quite funny I'll give it a try

[smoky shard]

Alr

Just need to beat the boss there

[vital ice]

||But you don't need it for pop||

[hard minnow]

||not really||

[shell hornet]

Alright

[hard minnow]

You can get ||the true ending without DD||

[sinful vortex]

||you need dive to reach crystal peaks which you need to get cdash which is required for some parts of white palace||

[sinful vortex]

oh

[shell hornet]

So I'll try:
||No spell
No nail/mask/soul upgrd
No compass ofc||
Any other idea of things I could impose myself?

[sinful vortex]

no healing

[vital ice]

||You can reach crystal without dive||

[smoky shard]

No dash

[sinful vortex]

wha

[hard minnow]

||lumafly lantern||

[shell hornet]

That's a really good idea

[sinful vortex]

||also just to increase the pain, no stag stations||

[vital ice]

Ow

[sinful vortex]

||no extra masks or soul vessels too||

[vital ice]

Yeah we agreed on that

[shell hornet]

I'm afraid that'd make it a bit too hard for a return on the game but I'll keep that in mind

[shell hornet]

Lmaoooo

[sinful vortex]

pluh

[hard minnow]

|| à challenge I did was all bosses in P5 order
You need to beat the third colosseum trial without à maxed nail||

[sinful vortex]

if you’re feeling masochistic then ||no charms either||

[vital ice]

Use spoilers like this ||||text||||

[smoky shard]

Do I really need to censor || dash ||

[sinful vortex]

?tag spoilers

[languid radish]

🔹 Ensure Discord’s spoiler tagging is used around spoilers (People, Places, and Things should be spoiler tagged!! if you are confused, please see the pins for what is allowed ).
We do this to be considerate of multiple conversations taking place. Two vertical bars on either side of text will tag it as a spoiler - ||This is a spoiler.|| > ||This is a spoiler.|| Alternatively, adding /spoiler at the start of a message will tag it.

🔹 If you have sent an untagged message, you must either edit it to include spoiler tags or delete it.

[vital ice]

Yes

[shell hornet]

Lmao idk if I'm courageous enough to do that right now

[sinful vortex]

you have to censor everything after ||king’s pass||

[smoky shard]

Everyone knows abt it it’s even in the settings

[sinful vortex]

basically

[smoky shard]

Whats kings pass

[vital ice]

Still

[vital ice]

The area you start the game in

[smoky shard]

Ah

[hard minnow]

The part at the very beginning, right before ||dirthmouth||

[vital ice]

Shakaboom

@velvet flower did you get there?

[neat karma]

The rule was changed to quite literally everything but whats mentioned on pins because people love loopholes

[velvet flower]

||ohh nvm i went back and went up a lift||

||i pulled a lever||

[hard minnow]

There is a lot of that there

[velvet flower]

||i mistakenly killed the white palace people with my dash 😭 😭||

[sterile notch]

||So, im stuck. this is where ive gone to atp and ive gained the abilities of shade spirit, the improved downwards slam and crystal heart. i have also beat hornet for the second time and have infected crossroads. what to do now?||

Spoiler tag cz idk how big of a spoiler this

[vital ice]

||It's ok they respawn||

[sterile notch]

Help pls

[shell hornet]

Following all your ideas you gave me a few minutes ago I got the idea of making myself challenges to gradually increase the difficulty (each challenge would end when I beat ||radiance||), can you guys think of anything to make the third challenge an absolute bloody hell?

Challenge 1:
||- No nail/mask/soul upgrade

• No charm (including compass)||

Challenge 2:
||- No nail/mask/soul upgrade

• No charm (including compass)
• No spell
• No healing
• No dash||

Challenge 3:
||- No nail/mask/soul upgrade

• No charm (including compass)
• No spell
• No healing
• No stag station ||

[buoyant flame]

I used them for ||soul|| after I realized they gave me that.

[velvet flower]

demm thats good haha thanks

[neat karma]

About the spoiler part everything ingame needs tags so youre good on that front, about the message itself

[vital ice]

||They give you free soul||

[smoky shard]

|| no dash no wj || if that’s even possible

[hard minnow]

||Try to get to the city of tears dreamer||

[vital ice]

It isnt

[shell hornet]

What's ||wj||?

[neat karma]

||you can try to find your way into those big white masks around the map, oe if you want to be more through go back to previous areas and look through all the empty holes in your map, there may not be outright story progressions but you could get upgrades you missed||

[vital ice]

||Wall jump||

[smoky shard]

|| walljump ||

[shell hornet]

😭 😭

I don't think that's even possible tbh

[neat karma]

?tag uncspoilers @velvet flower

[languid radish]

🔹 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.

[velvet flower]

mb 💔

[sterile notch]

@velvet flower i have the ||cloak ||thingy

[velvet flower]

[vital ice]

||The eyes don't change the order you get them in||

[velvet flower]

ohhh

[shell hornet]

Is it possible to avoid every single ||mask/soul upgrade||?
Is there any ||charm ||that's required to be used at one point in the game?

[neat karma]

Yes and no

[vital ice]

||It's just which is more convenient for you||

[shell hornet]

Alright thanks

[hard minnow]

||I beat them in reverse eyes order 🤣 ||

[sinful vortex]

there’s no correct order for ||dreamers||

||ALWAYS KILL MONOMON LAST THOUGH||

[neat karma]

Common fixes for controller issues

Try these separately first, but if they don't work, then you may need to try a combination of them.

• Use Steam's controller settings, enable Steam Inputs from the game properties, and check controller configuration support through Steam's Big Picture mode.
• Toggle "Controller Native Input" in the game, found at Main Menu ᐅ Options ᐅ Controller. Restart your game after changing it.
• Unplug your controller before launching the game, then plug it back in on the title screen.
• If using a Playstation/Nintendo controller on Linux/Steamdeck, see this information.
• Use a program to map controller inputs to keyboard inputs, either through Steam or a third party program.
  • This is usually only necessary for unusual controllers, or when the above options don't work.

[coarse nest]

Need some tips for ||soul sanctum sword dude, can't find anwhere to heal while fighting him||

Charm loadout is ||soul catcher, shaman stone, steady body||

[vital ice]

That's the nice thing, you don't heal.

Are you used to ||steady body?||

[coarse nest]

huh

[coarse nest]

Yeah

Usually while exploring I have ||soul catcher, steady body, compass, longnail iirc||

[vital ice]

Can you send me your inventory and your charms?

[coarse nest]

Not near laptop rn, gimme a min I'll list it out

[wicked wedge]

[vital ice]

[pallid zinc]

[coarse nest]

Uhh isn't ||Baldur a 2 notch charm||?

[vital ice]

||You can do something called overcharming where you use a charm that goes over the limit||

[wicked wedge]

Is there any good progress guide? I feel totally lost rn. And each time i feel like i could try something takes 15 min of traveling xd

[coarse nest]

Alr

[vital ice]

||You will take double damage though||

[coarse nest]

Yeah I'm aware
The plan is to dodge lmao

Thabks

[pallid zinc]

[pallid zinc]

idk where to get the ||key|| or the other stuff

[spiral field]

[sinful vortex]

Ignore it for now, you’ll get there later on

try looking for a patch of ground that looks crumbly

[vital ice]

Can you show me your map?

[sinful vortex]

||it’s near the east of crossroads||

[spiral field]

anyways whats the ||godseeker mode||

[hard minnow]

||city of tears is basically two zones where you can get directly from rightcity to leftcity but not the opposite||

[pallid zinc]

what part, i cant show all

[sinful vortex]

||crossroads||

[pallid zinc]

where exactly tho

[hard minnow]

|| you start in godhome, all of your stuff is maxed, you have all charme and all bosses in the godhall, but you can't get out of the dreamrealm||

[vital ice]

||Do you see the weird cut off areas in forgotten crossroads ||

[grim arch]

How do I farm geo? Cause I gave my ||fragile strength charm|| to ||divine||

[sinful vortex]

That’s something else

[vital ice]

Kill

[pallid zinc]

[sinful vortex]

||watcher knights bench||

||or colosseum 2||

[pallid zinc]

ah alr thx

[hard minnow]

||colosseum, 2nd trial have the better time spent/reward ratio||

[grim arch]

I think I'll go with that bc I still have trauma from ||the watcher knights||

[spiral field]

ohhh
||it's like a separate save file then||

[coarse nest]

Is there any easily accesible ||charm notch I can obtain rn, I'm just 1 away from not obercharmed||

[sinful vortex]

||lmao dw you don’t have to fight watcher knights again, you just have to go to the closest bench near them, then massacre every enemy in that room, use the bench again and then repeat||

[vital ice]

Can you show me your map?

[hard minnow]

||yeah like Steel soul||
But it is pretty pointless

[grim arch]

Ohhh alr

[spiral field]

okayy so it just ||exists||

[vital ice]

Yes

[spiral field]

okk thanks

[sinful vortex]

||there’s like 0 reason to use godseeker unless you accidentally killed zote and/or banished Grimm troupe||

[hard minnow]

||even if you ban grimm you fight nkg in P5||

[vital ice]

||You can fight NKG even if you banish the Grimm troupe ||

[coarse nest]

I'll do it once I get back home, thanks for all the help

[vital ice]

When you do Ping me or @ me

[sinful vortex]

oh

[hard minnow]

||for me the real point of godseeker mode is for those who don't want to find all maskshard/soulvessel/charms/bosses||

[sinful vortex]

By the time you end up unlocking it ||your main slot would’ve already been maxed out||

[hard minnow]
