||You can pogo everything except the vine spikes and the ground||
||You can wall jump||
||Yea I got further I went till the top but I died and now I can’t go back||
Why?
||i just found traitor lord for the first time and i wanna kill myself||
||just pogo off the saws or climb the walls||
is there anything i should buy from here?
||cause I have skill issue||
||shaman stone and charm notches first, then everything else||
It’s spoilered
||The 220 geo one||
||Sharp shadow is a good charm to use||
The same thing happened with me sometimes it doesn't show me it's spoiled
||get some more charm notches, then use compass, shaman stone and spell twister||
ah alr thx
Idk. For me, it’s like ||mark of pride||. Once you get used to it, you can’t play properly if you take it off
are ||wanderers journal and hallownest seals|| neccesary or is it okay if i sell them?
They’re only for selling
You can sell them
moreso honestly
it's not that hard to get used to not using ||mop|| imo
||does dropping all your money into the fountain at ancient basin actually do antyhtin||
sorry
yes
what doesit do
||look at what it's holding||
Drop ||3k|| for a special prize
||it also caps the amount at that if you have more than 3k geo||
||so don't be afraid of losing geo||
||like you only lose 3k at most||
||THREE THOUSAND?!!||
yeah
skill issue
i dislike you
yeah
where do i get lantern?
REAL
||shopkeeper in dirtmouth||
||i got quickfocus out of my buld for mark of pride.... ||
if you don't know who that is keep playing till you find him
i havent seen a lantern there?
||he sells one for 1.8k||
HOW DO I GET SO MUCH?
do you have ||relics||?
Kill
EXCEPT FOR FARMING DUDES RELENTLESSLY
send a screenshot of your inventory
where i see that
\
Hahahaha
those things on the line on the bottom
||you can sell them to a guy in city of tears||
||go to lemm and sell them all||
yeah??
||wanderer's journals are 200, hallownest seals are 450, king's idols are 800||
show on map pelaaaase
send a pic of your ||city of tears|| map
||if you sell them all you can get 3650 geo||
You have 3.6k worth of geo there
||he's in the room next to the hollow knight fountain from the left||
the second floor
yeah
Time to go up up and away then
You would need to go by the ceiling
you have to open a lever coming in from the top
Give me like uh 15 minutes
but should i ||get lantern with it or wfill the fountain||
it's below lol
when i have the moneu
oh
||lantern is more important i'd say||
||lantern’s much better here||
Im scared ill die and lose it all
wait ||is there anything important in ancient basin?||
||fountain is really not an early game deal, the award it gave can be found in many other places||
use the paint like the app
Remix
There is a really friendly banker in fog canyon
the problem is i can't find remix
Im gonna explore ||ancient basin|| and ill do the rest later
I know that i think
Yo I need some help on ||failed champion|| any tips or charms i should use that could help?
It's || not [
Oh
send a picture of your charms
Pretty good not gonna lié
Git gut
Ok
get ||shaman stone|| instead of ||sharp shadow + sprintmaster||
Spell twister might not be really useful as you don't get much soûl in the fight
Huh ok
it trivializes the whole fight depending on your strat
what ||spells|| do you have btw
||Using "the chessy strat" I tirvialize him each time into the pantheon||
also use spoilers
Without any spell charms
All
i was ||fighting broken vessel and respawned here dude||
Oof
including ||upgrades||?
Yup
ok
Is ||broken vessel the next boss to kill after dung beetle||??
oh yeah run ||dream wielder|| if you're lazy but you don't need it
works either way but it speeds up the strat
nonlinear
you could do it before or after
or way later or way earlier
You could do neither
also true
I mean ||broken vessel|| does give an important item so I work say to do him next
||dung defender|| also does
Kinda want to cheese at this point but seeing how to do it normally would also be nice
Right
To do it normal, try to keep your distance
|| every time he jumps backwards, it means à shockwave is coming||
Ok
Well the cheese is basically ||when you knock him down, hit his armor (but not his face) by either pogoing it or hitting it from behind to refresh the stagger timer. Use the additional time to get in a dream nail, then refresh it again, then another dream nail, then refresh, 2 heals, etc. so you exit each stagger with full soul and hp. You can shriek him twice as he gets up and jumps to the middle and then spam shade soul once he starts swinging his mace during the rampage and you'll knock him down again.||
i'd argue the opposite
stand right next to him
@final dawn
||when he jumps dash under him||
||I beat dung defender after broken vessel||
||if he jumps backwards he's about to do 1-3 shockwaves and then end it with a huge jump where he swings his mace down||
||dash under the big jump||
Huh ok
3 ||abyss shriek||
Ok
oh yeah 3 you're right
One last thing, did you killed the ||maggot?||
Both? Yes
||Too bad, you could have dreamnailed them to start every fight with full soul||
||Yea.. I killed them for would and only realised I could dream nail them for more soul after I killed them.||
Alr well thanks
I play hk for over 80hrs and i didnt know theres a ||Lifeblood cocoon in the mantis lords area|| 
Bro 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
My reaction after seeing that on a reel : 
how can i join the vc?
||WHAT THE FUCK IS THE NOSK ASCENDED ROOM BRO|| 😭
Fucking finally…
Pain in the ah
Markoth always is the hardest boss for me on the p5 
||a floor goes a long way||
||just no middle platform?||
||I didn't think it was that bad, makes them an actual challenge now||
i fucked up big time
||i died whilst havign sold all my hallownest seals.||
im so bad.
Please add spoiler tags to your message
Same for you, spoiler tags please
vro
just get your ||shade|| back
duh
its a ||shade|| tho
still
any tips on ||hornet 2||
||Hit the picks in phase 2, she will waste time putting them back||
||what are rancid eggs for||
you know that ||locked door in dirtmouth? well if u open it there is someone called jiji and they bring u ur shade if u die somewhere far for 1 rancid egg||
A simple one
another?
||there is 4 simple locks in the game and 4 simple Keys, any simple Keys works with any simple locks||
i couldve sworn i had one
Ohhh
they get used up
||WHATS A VESSEL FRAGMENT||
oops caps
|| get 3 and you will have a small soûl vessel added to your main worth one portion of soul||
Just as|| mask shard||
with my progression
we like
gj bro thats really hard
4 tries :p
playtime wise, like 2h total (at most)
Nice
does this have a use
||is that all||
@vital ice you do NOT know how hard ive been grinding
remember when i was struggling with ||broken vessel||
i now ||unlocked every single ability||
my goal is to 112% the game instead of just beating it
is this enough for 112%
||why is everyone using spoilers||
i think you need a little more geo 💀
so u don't spoil the newbies
oh damn
i have 17 hours on this save slot 💔
it is fr
i have one with around 90 and still not 112
damn
yeah stuck at ||p3 and collo 3||
thx
also this save slot is my first time on the game lol
people told me that 17 hours n already here is impressive
but first ima recover from the massive sunburn on my back. in actually dying
is that true ?
how much
well you have enough for every %
but there's a ||36k geo dump which could help you out||
so don't just ignore geo
without spoiling what it is
alright
||unbreakable greed not really worth it but the rest is||
thanks
Hey, is there a route to do the steel soul in less than 5 hours?
yep
have you done a speedy normal run before?
yep
||full kill false knight for crest -> vengeful spirit -> dash -> claw -> dive (fungal city entrance) -> crystal heart -> ddark then drop into resting grounds -> dream nail -> watchers -> (optional isma's) -> monomon -> qga/qg with isma's/deepnest -> herrah -> thk|| should be fine
you can grab ||a nail upgrade and shaman at some point||
||ddark carries||
hmmm, thank you
first time attempting ts
omg
i just found ||that bug that fixes the mark in dirtmouth by luck||
wich is 2% to see
guys how do i unlock this
i swear if i needed to kill him ill never find him
you have a|| dream warrio||r that you still didnt kill
he is found at ||queen's garden||
ouuu ight2 thx
How do I get || double jump ||
its near the bottom of the world
Spoil images dude
where just deated the guy that goes in a ball in the wells
he goes in a ball and shoots balls idk the name
Is he Brown?
damn i didnt know i need to manually make it spoil warning sorry
i think si
||dung defender*||
yh
i got him today too
nice
so annoying dude
|| did you activate the pump||?
no
anything past this room in ||greenpath?||
|| you didn't hit the lever right next to the arena?||
yes
i think so
Something good n important?
Yes
Yes
i dont remember i suffer from short memory loss
Alright
i forgot but yes there is somethin
so annoying but still
Not really for story progression thought
||What is a recommended charm loadlut for Absrad?||
dodge better
GOT IT
|| the real issue is that it wouldn't be the charms you'll use against absrad, but also the ones you'll use for PV, and making a good average between them could be hell||
what did u get
||great slash||
I got ||strength, slash, shaman, and LN||
what is that
||its the great slash||
Ln?
doesnt help me at all
hahahaha
||longnail||
One of the nail arts
its like a ||charged attack basically||
ooh
and its free!
to me my setup is the same as you but I replace ||ln and shaman stone by mark of pride and soulcatcher, I beat it many times in godhall that way||
so it doesnt cost soul?
can you share in dms where u got it would like to know
Not really worth it though
why
alr
But there is a charm to make them better ||but you first need to get all 3 nailarts||
THERES MORE?
idk what nailarts are
Look in your inventair
|| sharpened ones ? ||
||city of tears has a sharpener guy, costs 250||
Where are those two?
ooh yeah i have that
||You can upgrade it 3 more times but spécial items (and even more money) are needed||
ugh that shucks
yh
|| in à hidden wall of howling cliffs ||
Both ?
||only one is missing there
You can never fight the second and he'll never be in godhome||
So ||they can be only 9 bosses in P3||
The two first boss is missing the light is off
Ok so if i beat him it will open
Oh I though ||grim was missing mb,
So there is a secret 3rd boss you could fight||
||Also to get trophy for pantheon i need to finish them with all modes ? For example removing nail or soul or smt like that which you can choose||?
No you aren't obligated, but in the end, it makes the panthéon easier
Where is the place you talking about
No, no, I thought ||grimm was missing and I pointed the way to start grimm's troopp||
||Whats the way out after defeating herrah?||
Nah i did him expect his final form
All left
So can someone point me the location of these bosses
which ones?
Two first which I haven’t done
Can I download a mod to see the boss's health and skins and still get achievements?
||the second||
dp you want to know the third? he is gonna make the whole pantheon a lot harder
Yes
I think
|| city of tears stag, room right below with the hundrends of ennemy, go all right||
I only today discovered the purpose of ||Jiji||. I lost so much Geo, more than four thousand. Only if I knew it before(
Quick question how much hp dose ||Brooding Mawlek|| have
Man wiki are for this kind of question
Ok so now where is the first boss ?
I sent a screen shot
Ok
At what stage should I attempt killing ||Brooding Mawlek||? I have ||7 masks, 8 notches, channeled nail, monarch wings, 25 charms||. I tried doing it before, but it's very difficult.
Is that Troll?
It seems to me that sidequest mini-bosses are more difficult than even mainline bosses
wdym
Ppl go fight this boss as soon as they got wj, some even sooner
what is wj?
To me it is on the same power level as ||mantis lord||, you gonna roll over it
Wall jump
Morning chat
Easier I'd say ngl
Fight it now
The only real problem is the ||spit shotgun, which you can just jump over him to dodge||
Hi people, I have a problem, could you help me?
that do be what the channel is for
how it didn't get spoiled? 🫢
I'm stuck, and have been for awhile. Don't want spoilers but would love a hint or gentle nudge in the right direction. I took photos of my map and inventory but idk if that's allowed and I dont want to accidentally post spoilers.
||testing spoilers tag||
||have you tried beating the game again? That might give you the option again||
also please edit your message with two bars on each side || like this ||
okey

||guys i just got markoth to phase 2 on radiant, i have a full soul meter, what do i do now?||
Spam
spam what???
Are you ||serious||
which ones
Those who deals damages
vro
||dodge the swords and wait for him to do the shield spinning attack. When he does go far enough away so you don't get hit and use all of your soul for shade soul. Make sure to try and get as many double hits as possible.
You can also do it now without waiting for the shield spinning attack but that's more risky so only do that if you feel confident you can dodge while doing so||
alr ill do it
Yes, see pins for the exact rules (and ||spells|| needs spoilers too)
ty
Can you not. Thanks.
worth a mod ping imo 
And tag or delete your stuff please
I have beaten ||Mug defender|| and ||Broken Vessel||. Which boss should I do next?
Eh true
No need it appears
also their bio is a little.. weird. Not sure tho
I beat it once but didnt really have motivation to continue
Waow skill issue,,,
||There isn't really a set next boss, just look at your map and go to unexplored exits||
Smoil pls delete thanks
Can't believe he would hop on hades just as I asked it 😔
Okay enough
ismoil can you see deleted messages?
||I have 11k geo should i drop all on fountain? I want to drop the 3k to get the fragment how can i drop only 3k||
Yes drop it all
Not this channels no
oh
||Be a loyal citizen (it only takes 3k max)||
Thanks
What are the rules for posting? My post keeps getting insta deleted. Im spoilers tagging text and marking images as spoilers, attaching 6 pictures. Is there a character limit or something?
Do you get a message about something being blocked/watch your language whatever?
Cause no if you spoiler tag it, it should be fine
||How can i know where tf is the vessle fragment and the mask shard i miss ?? ||
No I dont get any message it removes itself as soon as the pictures load
@neat karma this isn't you right
nope
Cool
Never seen this user before
Uh maybe try 1 image at a time? Just to see if it works
Any help would be appreciated im very stuck and cant figure out where to go
||i have dash, wall jump, dash attack, dream nail (idk the utility of this yet) and the ground slam attack. I think I have to find the 3 faces pinged on my map but they all seem inaccessible. I need map traversal skills or something or I've missed something obvious I cant figure out. I've gone all around the map a few times and the map exits that look like they lead to new areas are blocked by something I cant get past. I've also been to 2 areas that I didnt get maps for so they aren't listed, one was the gem mines.||
Any help is greatly appreciated 👏 thanks for taking the time
what does ||fountain the in ancient basin|| do? I dropped 800k into it and nothing happened.
Me when I spread misinformation online
||There is more open paths in the gem mines, try exploring it again and come back if you cant find the map nor any new places||
anyone hav good skin id?
What exactly do you mean? Also #1057825333841240104
like for skins on hollow knight
Then go read the FAQ in #1057825333841240104

Thanks
I collect 14 but only 13 turn on in the door and it’s not opening
||Are you using Joni's blessing?||
Yeah
is there something else I have to do to the ||Teacher||?
||the dude disabled her seal but I still can't interact with her at all||
||Then you need a total of 15 not 14||
||Dreamnail her||
ahh okay thanks!
it's like the only thing i haven't tried lol, I always forget ab that ability
||someone knows if there’s a grub in the far village?||
||u mean distant village? if so then yes||
||yea the distant village, where is the grub? I can’t seem to find it anywhere, is it inside beast den?||
yes
Ah.
||Why i cant entre to white palace|| ?
Is there any way to turn the resolution of the game to my native monitor resolution?
With ||jonis blessing|| it takes 15
You must have ||awakened dream nail||
You get it from the ||seer at 1800 essence||
Yeah how tf i can find that much
I have like 950
||Fight the dream versions of false knight and soul master||
||You can find them near where their boss fights were||
||is godhome necessary for 112% completion? And if not, what seemingly unnecessary thing is needed? I know I'm missing something, but I don't know what..||
||yes, the majority of godhome is needed. It gives 5% total (including the item you get at the start).||
Please use spoiler tags for all content from the game in this channel || like this || and edit your message
alright, and thank you
||other commonly missed % are getting 2400 essence and talking to the seer, some part of the Grimm troupe quest or colosseum trial 3||
||2400% essence isnt a percentage||
it is
||It's only for true completion||
Literally did ||steel 112% with 1900 essence||
||I'm holding off on fighting grimm troupe master because I don't yet think I'm ready. So I'm trying to defeat the third trial of The Colosseum of Fools and getting Radiant on some bosses.||
you can't
Imma do it again then
||third trial is a lot harder than Grimm. He really isn't that difficult of a fight if you try it a bit||
tell me how it goes
||radiants aren't needed for 112%, but if you need help on the grimm troupe boss i'll be happy to help||
and for ||colo 3|| i would higly suggest you don't run a nail build
helped me greatly
||I'm sure once I fight him some more I'll find a strategy, but if I do need any help, I'll keep it in mind. But thank you anyways||
noted
👍
understood
Yes
yay
It shows that you can persevere in absolute chaos
You can't really define an achievement as being "good" or "impressive". A player with thousands of hours will have a different view than a player with 5. What really matters is if you put effort into it and are proud of yourself for it
||im sorry guys but what am I supposed to do with the kingsoul when i reach the bottom of birithplace? There’s just a mirror||
||Dreamnail the mirror||
definitely phislosophical
not that much
for 100 hours on the game, is that decent?
You definitely had some practice but still good
wym
i'm kinda lost on what you mean by practice
||everything was very tuff, I loved the cutscene||
|| you tried it many times||
oh yeah most definitely not getting it in one go
Failed spoiler
and also
i am kinda lost on the ||hunter's journal||
the only boss i'm missing is ||absrad||, but there's 2 entries missing
what could i have missed?
||absrad isnt an entry it just gives you radiance entry for some reason||
oh?
then what am i even missing
i'm so confused
you can check its corpse
yup
yup
||161/163||
||i didn't get the mender bug, is it needed for the hunter's mark?||
||garpede?||
||Mender bug is not needed||
yeah
||goam?||
thank god
||But did you get goam||
||The one in the forgotten crossroads that you can't kill||
i don't
Thats one of them
how?
Lemme get a pic
how am i supposed to get it
||near crossroads fungal entrance there be a dive floor in a room to the bottom left||
||You got durandoo and duranda?||

He turned himself into gold
||void tendrils||
What is it?
Ooooh
||Go to the abyss||
||Go back to the place you got shade cloak||
that's gonna have to wait but ima note it
||On your way there there is a path that goes up, take it and you'll see a shade gate||
||Not the light house btw||
yes engi
Ridiculous question time
Let's say I'm trying to get the maximum possible game completion without ever doing any harm to a certain little humming sweetheart (||myla, if it wasn't obvious||). I've done the ||Broken Vessel shade skip for wings|| already, but I have no idea how to do the ||isma's tunnel skip|| without ||c-dash||. I can find videos of people doing it, but no actual... y'know, explanations. Help??
ok nvm
heh? sorry, did i do something wrong?
i'm not that good
ahh
yeah, neither am i-
I can't help with that either like wow
||Btw you don't need wings to beat the game||
||just to make sure, are u struggling with the spike tunnel skip in broken elevator shaft?||
||depends on ending||
and on patch
you can do ||radiance|| with ||claw|| only
||for absrad you need voidheart, which requires a very specific cengeful spirit skip in white palace to be able to get it||
ye, if you wanna do it ||wingless you need to do stallballs||
for ||te||
yes, you're correct
||i'm trying to get to isma's so i can get to monomon without doing the even more ridiculous skips required otherwise, which means i'm in broken elevator shaft ramming my face into spikes a bunch of times. i've seen people do it with dash, dash slash, pogo, dash, or with dash, fireball, downslash, dash, or even just with dash, pogo, dash, but i don't know what works the best (or at all, since i'm on ps4 current patch and using a controller (with a sticky jump key))||
I think pogo dash pogo dash is the safest I dunno
||the dash pogo dash method is the easiest but it requires dashmaster. The other two methods include an air stall after the dash to wait out the dash cooldown, so it’s possible even without dashmaster||
||what’s the max charm notches you can have?||
||11||
||im having a issue with the notch numbers, i got the only 2 that were in the map, i bought them from salubra and won the second trial at the colosseum, what am i doing wrong?||
||rn I have 10 notches||
||did you get the one from the dlc?||
||im missing one||
||bingo, the Grimm one?||
yes
||I still haven’t started the search for flame quest so no, thank you for telling||
how do you plan on doing the subsequent skips?
||im not the one doing the run but u can simply defeat dung defender instead of doing the acid skip in ismas grove||
ohhhh
i forgot
are you avoiding ||dive|| too?
||White palace really putting my controller durability to test ||lol
||every time I ruin the sacred flower I have to go back to the white mourner?||
spoilers for ||dream nail|| and ||godseeker ||stuff:
||how do i get better at grey prince zote i beat him all of one time and decided i didn't wanna relive that but now i'm on pantheon of the sage and have to beat him what do i do||
||go to the colosseum and try him again till you somehow find comfortable with the moveset he has||
got it thanks
||also you do have to go back to the white mourner every time you ruin the sacred flower i know cause i did the route||
||so THERES NOT CHECKPOINT?||
no
look on the wiki for the optimal routes (safest, quickest, etc)
||grey prince zote isnt at the colosseum, thats just zote the mighty, not the same thing||
||u can practice the fight in the hall of gods||
also u also need to spoiler ||dreamnail|| and ||godseeker||
Yes, I am. Why?
is it possible to check which ||mask shards|| i already picked up on map and which im missing ?
Nope
How many ||masks and mask shards do you have?||
i collect 12
So, you have ||8 masks||
You got 4 left
I have one left and it sucks to get
I don’t remember where I got the rest
||also im at 105% of the game to get 112% i need to beat nightmare grim and finish pantheons ||?
Not ||nightmare grimm||
No percent for that
ok
I also happen to be at 105%
I got ||one charm, mask, white defender, soul tyrant, p3+4, and Colo 3|| left
And I know how to get the last ||mask shard||… I just don’t want to
||same expect the charm and nail already4||
just did all the|| charm||
you gonna go crazy to get the last one
Only ||charm I have left is grubberflys elegy||
oh
Oh, I only have 1 ||grub|| left
I’m gonna catch him
so you went to the ||castle ||
?
Idk what your talking about, but probably
you can see them on map so thats pretty easy
I’m very forgetful
Yeah
w||hite castle or smt that you need to climb up ||
Only ||mask shard|| I have left is ||white flower||
Already done
I think you said all you have to do for that is get more ||essence||
i got 2400
Fight ||failed champion and lost kin||
What about ||PoP||
whats that
the secret area that is there ?
i didnt went there
is there anything there that i shoukd go ?
Not unless you want pain
You don’t get anything useful
nah im good
I heard it’s just a cutscene and bragging rights
||the white palace also really test my controller durability lol||
i dont think my controler survive another one lol
What do you play on?
playstation
cool
is the hallow knight community good?
no. everybody is evil and hates everything and hurts puppies
Yes
We’re (usually) nice unless you absolutely fucking suck
In which case, you deserve what you get
We also have
Hey guys I started like 3 days ago and I’m a bit overwhelmed with how big and secret the game is and how it doesn’t help you to progress and since idk what to do I watch speedruns and 112% runs on yt to get through the game, any tips how I can get through the game like easier? Without wasting time on yt
How about you don't do that 
I get that but idk what to do sometimes like literally zero clue what do to next and I also don’t wanna miss anything by overlooking yk?
This is a pure metroidvenia, it's all about getting lost and finding new paths
How about you like, explore by yourself.
how to get through here?
If you can't get somewhere, write it down and come back later once you know how
Can't, come back later
there is the map guy singing near tho?
||He'll eventually go sell his map in Dirtmouth||
oh ok
And don't worry, you'll not miss anything. But don't watch content to really get the full experience
Or is that only if you talk to him
dont know
If you need clues, you can ask here, people will guide you without spoiling the game
ill come back
spoiler tags!
(rules changed like 6 monthsago if you didnt know)
Welp guys thanks for the help my mindset for the game was to just beat it in 10-15 hours and move on to deadcells or seomthing similar but I guess I’ll use my next 2 weeks to explore the whole game myself and miss about 30% bc I’m blind (I’m so blind i would’ve never found ||fungal waste|| without the yt video)
please use spoiler tags for in game content ||like this||
yeah people kept arguing over ||monomon's poem and cliffs||
Most people take ||around 20-30 hours to beat the game for the first time, and usually around 100 for a 100%. The game also eventually gets a % display to help narrow down what you're missing.
This game is not about beating it, it's about the slow experience of feeling it all.||
Okay got it, see you in 2/3 weeks cheers guys and gals and everything else 🫶
Oh also, dead cells and HK are completely different games lol
Both are 2d platformers in a sense, but DC is a rogue like, whole HK is a metroidvenia. Completely different
HK resembles more games like Dark Souls or Nine Sols
hop on star of providence and celeste instead
Ik but looked similar in a way if that makes sense? Idk my friend told me play those games bc they’re hard 🥲
So here i am now
Playing hk
and
metroid...
Yeah, both are 2D in xy axis
Exactly
And yeah both are really hard
And both got a ||dash|| 😭
And although I haven't played DC my cousin says is an amazing game
dead cells does not
I count the dodge
I know i played DC for a bit
they have no similarities, the|| dash in hk doesnt give iframes||
Also big what’s the haps? What’s ur major? Vibes 🐱🤓 even though u right
Love you all bye bye

||Most people take around 100 for 100%? Dang, I’m at a little over 40 and passed that||
Well, ||112% and P5 with that, but yeah, you did it really quickly||
||42 h in and 105%||
And I know what I have left to do
what do i do after going through all of ||city of tears|| like what area should I move on to or bosses i should fight im really lost rn
any help with these things i cant get to other side
||Hit them with your nail||
ohh ty
||Look around in forgotten crossroads and more specifically weird crystals||
will do my good chum
||Look around the right side btw||
Hey guys, I'm trying to 100% HK and I have to grind a lot of geo does anybody have any suggestions
what % r u at rn?
75 I'm pretty sure
there's one thing that gives you thousands of geo in one go, have you unlocked that thing? (idk how to ask w/o spoilers)
can you show me ur map?
Is it || The Colosseum of fools? ||
yepp
||colo 2 is fairly quick to do, and gives 2k every run||
I've been trying to beat the third one for days but I'm bad
what charms do u have? make sure to spoil tag the image
It's on switch and my brother is using it but my layout is || Grubsong, Quick Focus, Quick Slash, and Thorns of Agony ||
ok, thats alright, i assume u have ||8 charm notches? thorns is decent, especially in colo, but there are better options, and quick focus could be replaced, especially bc there r decently large times to heal in colo 3.||
Yea I have 8
do u think u can list some of the charms u have? its hard to reco a build w/o knowing what you have
|| All of the ones from salubra, Stalwart Shell, Fragile Heart, Fragile Strength, Steady Body, Heavy Blow, Long Nail, Mark of Pride, Fury of the Fallen, Balder Shell, Flukenest, Defenders Crest, Lifeblood Heart, Joni's blessing, Spore Shroom, Weavers Song, Dream Wielder, and Grimmchild ||
The reason I'm grinding for geo is to get || the unbreakable charms ||
||perfect, shamans stone should always be equipped, unless ur more of a nail build, replacing quick focus. for colo, thorns is a good choice, and as soon as youve got enough geo, upgrade strength first, then continue grinding, so w/ 8 notches, its quickslash, shaman, grubsong, thorns. I would recommend trying to find more notches, as the builds with only 8 are limited.||
||after unbreakable strength, prob replace shaman with it for colo, as spells arent used too much in colo.||
Ok, thanks you're a huge help!
Debating rn whether to keep grinding Dead Cells 2BC or finally go back and beat the ||Pantheon of Hallownest|| in HK (I’ve done literally everything else).
I wanna make a commitment to one or the other for the next few weeks.
Spoiler ||Pantheon of Hallownest||
Hmmm, I can't find no genuine difficulty comparisons of ||pantheons with dead cells||
Despite not having played dead cells this sounded like an interesting choice
||I read something about AbsRad being harder than collector, which I have no clue since I haven't actually played dead cells lol||
And something something ||4BC compares to a regular HK playthrough?????||
But that's also from 2019 
dead cells spoilers 
Well, just to finish. Really do what you want lol, it's about the fun you have at the end of the day.
Also this is probably these 2 guys are probably the best comparison I could find on the internet
But honestly idek at this point
I should play dead cells
indeed
it's great
got spoiled sooo much already tho
My strategy is can't get spoiled if you don't understand shit
All I know is that there is ||a 5BC and somewhere a pogo thingy because HK reference||
The rest I'm too ignorant to keep 
getting the name of an ability is pretty easy to understand sadly
Not useful if you don't understand anything else really
I've forgotten everything I knew already
for me it matters
I’d say ||5bc is pretty comparable to p5
I’ve definitely grinded both a lot, and felt the same way after beating each||
But I overall had a lot more experience with 2D games when I played dead cells so idk
Not even close
4bc is way harder
Yeah, I really guessed so
||a regular HK playthrough without P5 is not really that hard at all||
Let alone on release hk
can someone help me mod my hk
guys, what build to use for ||traitor lord||

can you share what charms u have?
||P4, 3rd trial, radiance, nkg||
||what happened to the guy here?||
Hit the house
|| is there a way to open up this gate? I got here with a desolate dive and found a rancid egg and the geo deposits ||
was it all a sham
Yes
It is not à gate, just a wall, go above it

ah alr, thx
You can always find her again and beat her up 
||Iirc, you get your money back and 20% more
But you'll need à simple key||
u need to spoiler all of this. ||also its closer to 50% more, not 20%||
||like all base charms||
Yes but like those you have equipped
can i not access this area rn?
||as with all metroidvanias, if u cant seem to progress through a certain section with ur current abilities, then more likely than not u r missing an ability.||
|| how do I get the ability to dash through enemies ||
how far r u in the game? can u show ur inventory?
Im not on rn but what would i need to show
I have || dash, down dash, c dash and dubble jump ||
||okay so from ancient basin (the overall area in which u got the double jump ability) u want to head upwards and ull reach the right side of the city of tears. u want to try and find an exit to the right of the city of tears, itll lead to a new area in which u can progress towards what u r looking for||
Thx
Do you know the area where I can sell my journals and stuff? Been trying to find it in city of tears so I can upgrade my nail
There's a place in city of tears
Ik but I just can’t find it anymore. Was looking for like 45 minutes
||in the room to the left of the big hollow knight statue||
Ty
How do u spoiler tag on this?
|| pins? And who is that ||
|| on the wiki it says that all I need to reach the grey mourner, is the desolate dive/descending dark ... to open up the path to the resting ground ... which I did
but I get to this part where it seems like I need monarch's wings ... I tried to grasp the walls but it's' not working ... is the wiki wrong or do I just have arthritis/skill issue ||
Prolly need wings
|| it's like the first shop that opens in dirtmouth ||
Really all that nessecary
|| vendor pin ||
Just to locate || blacksmith and shops? ||
But i'm not really à référence, I stop using maps one and for all after my first playthrough
Real
|| it auto marks all the shop areas ||
I see
|| I just bought them towards the end cuz I had lot of unneeded geo by then ||
||this is very possible without wings, u just need claw (and dive)||
|| Dive? ||
please spoiler tag this. ||if u dont know what dive is referring to then its likely u dont have it||
What did you meant by ||down dash||
Probably ||dashmaster||
|| dashmaster user maybe ||
They exist??!! ||
||
The || ground pound ability ||
Oh that's ||Descending Dive||
|| I do have dive, and claw too .... sadly not finding any video helping me as literally everyone just uses wings there ||
Well that's ||dive||
Ooh
Isn't there a wall right next to you?
I can link a channel if u don't mind spoilers ofc
ik am trying bro, I keep slipping 
sure
Mb just go get the ||wings||....
i mean it can be a bit tricky if u arent super familiar with hollow knight movement, as is the case with newer players. but i would suggest the ||dashing into the wall method since that allows u to easily line up the right height for the wall jump||
i just put the first method in to show that theoretically it is possible without ||dash||
it workeeeed THANK YOU ... alle-fucking-luia
I hve successfully wasted 30 mins of my life on this thing ...
anybody here know how you can play release patch on pc?
Ask in #modding-discussion, they might know better even if it isnt modding related
ooh k ill do so
What’s the best way to get 1800 geo for || lantern ||
what areas have you found so far
|| dirgtmouth crystal peak greenpath forgotten crossroads city of tears fungal waste and ancient basin ||
Also 1 that I don’t have a map for
If you have been to ||city, selling relics to the npc|| is really nice to get cash
i would suggest to either farm in ||greenpath and city of teears||
Yeah that’s what I did to get to 800 to buy the nail upgrade but don’t have more stones
If you don’t have any ||relics left, you should just explore whatever you can to collect the relics you need||
Im also scared of dieing with them
You can also explore old areas to get things you could have missed
||Crossroad and greenpath have a bunch of stuff||
Okay good to know
Yeah it is scary, but you will have to :p
|| Great husk sentry near kings station is solid to farm
But beware they do lot of damage ||
Jump and down strike then dash away
