[solid heart]

She has really fallen off from impossible

[rain sierra]

1.0 i consider DOABLE for my skill level ATP.

[thick wing]

WHY TF IM NOT FIGHTING ||RADIANCE?? IM FIGHTING THE KING 😭😭||

[rain sierra]

ong.

1.0 looks very plausable now 😭

[granite hare]

Gg what mod did you download?

[rain sierra]

i think he installed || pale king radiance fight skin ||

[solid heart]

Post ||rhog surely||

[rain sierra]

waht.

was THAT.

[thick wing]

Wait lemme go to the fight ill show u the dude

[solid heart]

Pre ||rhog|| you're really gonna struggle

[rain sierra]

im considering post || radhog ||

[granite hare]

You haven't done it yet? Bless your soul

[rain sierra]

ive done SOME OF IT.

[granite hare]

The easy bit I take it

[rain sierra]

my best completion is || radiant NKG cuz its easy when you alr know nkg ||

[jade sedge]

You shouldnt use mods for a first playthrough

[rain sierra]

let noblecape COOK.

[thick wing]

Ooh i know whyyy

[granite hare]

Especially a mod that changes ||the final boss so much||

[rain sierra]

and ive done || ascended PV ||

[thick wing]

||i have skin mod and i was the little radiance so the boss change too||

[jade sedge]

||Ascended|| should be spoiler tagged too

[boreal harbor]

to what?

[thick wing]

||the king||

[rain sierra]

|| pale king||

[boreal harbor]

oh

i see

[thick wing]

Yes

[rain sierra]

im doing || radhog in reverse order mostly starting with hardest to easiest ||

[thick wing]

Guys its rlly hard..

[granite hare]

That's the point 😭

[rain sierra]

fr

[thick wing]

||Choose my skin ima play with it ||

[rain sierra]

like ||oh wow the final boss is so easy man its so good ||

[rain sierra]

how about NO.

play with the OG skin,

[thick wing]

Some of them are cool

[rain sierra]

just do 1st or 3rd ig

[granite hare]

Chat, I'm tryna do ||Nail binding P5||, what build do we think I go for

[rancid vale]

||Spells||

[rain sierra]

|| nail master s glory ofc unbreakable heart and quick slash and shawman stone ig ||

|| nail arts are pretty good ||

[granite hare]

||I feel I have to bring strength for collector surely?||

[thick wing]

||so much aura 😔🥀||

[solid heart]

Yes, at least for him

Otherwise you can just do a ||strenghtles hybrid||

[granite hare]

||My build is basically just my usual one, but I swapped MoP in over Strength to make getting soul easier||

[proud quarry]

Do you guys have any tips for getting through the || soul sanctum, i cant get past those soul twisters and i cant even hit them, i havent went back for a while and have longnail now if thatll help ||

[solid heart]

Actually, ||strength changes nothing for collector lol, the minions have 26 hp, so your nail goes from 13 to 20 which both are 2 hits||

In this sense, ||a strenghthened nail is half a shade soul (with shaman), a fourth of a full ddark or double shade soul, and an SIXTH of a full shriek or triple shade soul||

[granite hare]

||Damn, I thought I was gaming the system lmao. I think I'll just try shade soul and great slash then. Thanks!||

[solid heart]

The it really is not that big of a gap if you play well your ||spells||

[solid heart]

Still, don't give up on ||the nail, 13 damage is still not a slack
With quickslash, and steady body if you can bring it, it's still a good investment.||

Just know how to efficiently play ||spells||

[granite hare]

||I'm def using it a lot still. I'm running shaman, nailmaster, dream wielder, quick slash and MoP rn. I might swap out dream wielder at the first rest tho||

[thick wing]

Im giving up for tonight

Its getting late

Good night everyone

[solid heart]

||Dreamwielder is a great pick||

Good night

[solid heart]

And DW, you'll eventually get it

But so much so for a challenge with 3.0

[thick wing]

I know dw im filled with determination

Its the ||any radiance|| that have the 3.0

[hallow hedge]

hi genio

guess what

[solid heart]

What??

[solid heart]

Yeah

[proper frost]

WHAT???????????????7

[opaque coral]

||if i meditate long enough with the nailmaster (forgot his name) will something happen?||

[hoary anvil]

your monitor may go to sleep

[rain sierra]

sadly no.

[opaque coral]

aw

[rain sierra]

wish it did

i like sitting there whenever i go AFK near || kingdom s edge ||

[light rapids]

Any advice on fighting ||Oro & Mato||

[rain sierra]

|| when he jumps walk below him when he dashes jump above him ||

walk not || dash||

[granite hare]

||Try to stick to one side, if you're sandwiched between them, both will attack. If ones off screen and the other is holding block, that likely means Oro is going to use dash slash||

[solid heart]

||Their nail arts are actually not positioned based, they can at any moment decide to do them, the other will parry while the nart finishes||

[rain sierra]

mhm

[granite hare]

||That's wht I said likely. Oro tends to dash slash from the other side, Mato tends to be up close||

[rain sierra]

well you didn t word it fully correctly-

[granite hare]

||You don't exactly have to worry about Mato using cyclone slash if he's not even on screen tbf||

[solid heart]

That is actually rather common

Most of the time tho, he'll jump near you before doing so

And those jumps are actually the scariest part of the fight 💀

[remote lotus]

what should I do now I don't remember this place

[granite hare]

Contact damage is my worst fear

[granite hare]

||Just try using anything you can on the egg, something will happen eventually im sure||

[remote lotus]

||I tried the dream nail the the spill cast the shade cloak everything yet nothing happened ||

[granite hare]

||Think of charms, specifically the ones related to even getting here||

[remote lotus]

||do you know or not know what should I do||

[granite hare]

||I know lol, I'm just trying to push you instead of telling you directly. What charms do you have on||

[remote lotus]

||the funny thing that I've been in there I just didn't remember like Idk I think I have Alzheimer's or something ||

[granite hare]

||That's the charm you get there lmao, if you have it you're done with the egg||

[remote lotus]

||yeah I think I was just playing at midnight and I was sleepy as hell that's why I don't remeber shi xD||

||@granite hare also my bad what do I do with the flower item thingy||

[granite hare]

||Delicate flower?||

[remote lotus]

||the one that breaks once I get damged by a spike yeah xD||

[granite hare]

||You need to take it to a room just north of the Queens gardens stag station without getting hit or using a stag||

[remote lotus]

omg this game is tough af

[thick wing]

Hi chat

Got a headache from the tilt so now I'm helping

[remote lotus]

|||sorry for mentioning you so much man but I have a problem with the corpse in white armour that is in the palace grounds I have already awakened my nail and I have a whooping 3187 essence yet I can't get to go to the white palace @granite hare ||

[granite hare]

||It's not letting you enter when you dream nail it?||

[remote lotus]

yea

fixed it thanks man

[atomic glen]

||Guys i have accidently killed the Blacksmith. After reaching pure nail he was standing there and i accidently Pressed attack Button i thought it was fine until i hit him and killed him. Will there be any consequences because of it?||

[stoic cedar]

hello, please spoiler your message as per channel rules

[atomic glen]

Im sorry i forgot that.

[simple island]

And that ||questline does reward you with an achievement for killing them||
So fear not, there are no repercution

That said… ||not killing… also grants an achievement ||

But you will have to see what that is about in an other playthrough

[remote lotus]

@granite hare I DID IT

[snow steppe]

what ||pantheon|| is that

[granite hare]

||i believe that is elder hu. He's a dream warrior you'll find in the fungal wastes||

[snow steppe]

nice user

i agree with it

[ivory fiber]

congrats bro

[quasi current]

great question

[quasi current]

alright thank you

[rain ridge]

does ||p5|| count towards 112%?

[stoic cedar]

No

[rain ridge]

steam achievement?

[forest nest]

Yes

I think

[rain ridge]

what exactly needs to be done for ||endings 4 and 5||

[forest nest]

You need to win ||p5||

[neat karma]

If you mean ||godhome endings then just beat p5 and beat p5 after giving the flower to godseeker||

[rain ridge]

so you have to beat it twice

[acoustic sigil]

Yes

[acoustic sigil]

||But the 2nd version doesn't give an achievement or anything, its just a minor difference ||

[rain ridge]

okay thats awesome then

[remote lotus]

@ivory fiber thansk man 🫶🏽

[ivory fiber]

what happened bro

oh no problem bro

thatprobably took a whole

while

[neat karma]

You need to wait a day until your newknight role is removed, then youll be able to post images
Also for future reference this chat is for ingame help 👍

[tawdry furnace]

best build for ||markoth||

[gloomy pendant]

||Which one ?||

[tawdry furnace]

||p5||

[gloomy pendant]

||Dash master so you can dodge down, suicide faster and get out of here||

[tawdry furnace]

bro

[gloomy pendant]

||Joke aside, the usual shaman stone, quick slash, MoP, etc works well||

[amber flume]

I have ||void heart||. What happens if I|| just kill THK instead of dream nailing||?

||Radiance|| is too hard

[gloomy pendant]

||nmg too, dash slash has a good range, or fireball him to death||

[delicate falcon]

||You get a slightly different ending (because hornet appears) but it’s really similar to the first one where you just kill thk||

Although it counts for a different achievement as well

[tawdry furnace]

||night mare king grim||?

whats ||nmg||

[gloomy pendant]

||Nail master glory||

[tawdry furnace]

ohh

[gloomy pendant]

||Depends of your play style, some never use nail arts||

[amber flume]

I always though nmg meant no major glitches

[stoic cedar]

it can mean either, just depends on the context

[amber flume]

I beat ||THK|| and got ||sealed sibilngs|| ending. When reenter the game ||THK|| is still there. Is this what supposed to happen?

[stoic cedar]

yes

[amber flume]

so I can get different endings whith the same save file?

[devout parrot]

yes

[desert condor]

||abs rad help||
ok so i did beat her a few times but still I am having some problems to actually perfect my run
||I am using only upslashes with quick slash which does take me to the platform phase most of the time with full health and maybe a few charges of spells||
||when radiance teleports and does her circle sword attack, sometimes i am unable to go under her for the usual dodging, when she fires it, how am I supposed to dodge it if i am a bit far, especially in the platform phase||
||any tips for dodging the orbs in the platform phase?||
||otherwise i just try to keep still and not move much pretty much the whole fight, changing sides in the spike floor phase damages me a lot so I just try to stay in the middle or ddark to remove the spikes||

[sleek crest]

||watcher knights have way more health on ascended right?||

[stoic cedar]

hello, please spoiler tag your message as per channel rules

[rain ridge]

what does the damage of ||Sharp shadow|| normally come from? like does it depend on my nail or charms or anything

[stoic cedar]

||for her sword burst attack, u just need to watch what the swords' trajectories are, their trajectories are curved so once you determine which way they are curving it shouldnt be too big of an issue to dodge them from there, no matter where you are (tho ideally u should be grounded during the attack to have some more options when dodging).||
||for the orb attack on plats i would suggest going towards the bottom middle plat once u realize the attack is beginning and lure the orbs towards the surrounding platform. since the orbs get destroyed the moment they come into contact with a platform, this is a great way to deal with the orbs quickly so that they dont loop around all over the place and hit u. in fact for plats u should be camping the top middle or bottom middle plat anyways so it should be quite easy to get to the bottom middle whenever the orbs appear||
||and as for your concerns about the spiked floor, u should be cognizant of approximately when the spiked floor will switch sides. u dont need to know exactly how long it takes for the spiked floor to switch sides but just be aware of the fact that if the spiked floor didnt switch positions for a while, its gonna switch sides very soon and u should be headed towards the middle or preparing to ddark the spiked floor. u will eventually develop a feel of how often the spiked floor switches sides as you continue to practice the fight||

[stoic cedar]

||compared to attuned, yes. its 350 for each one on attuned compared to 600 for each one on ascended||

[proper frost]

||both are correct
Sharp shadow=nail damage,dashmaster makes that multiply by 1.5(rounded up)||

[gloomy pendant]

||I don't think so, but if you equip dashmaster you get 1.5x dmg boost||

||Oh okay nevermind, nail dmg boost it as well||

[rain ridge]

okay awesome

[rain ridge]

does sprintmaster do anything

[gloomy pendant]

[gloomy pendant]

||With Sharp Shadow no, but equipping it with dashmaster further boost the speed bonus||

[tawdry furnace]

best build for ||absrad||

?

[simple island]

||Shaman stone, strength, quick slash then whatever, heart, twister, grubsong steady body||

[rain ridge]

okay ||thinking of swapping mop for long nail so i can boost sharp shadows damage in my build for nkg||

[simple island]

Why ?

When do you even ||dash through nkg ?
Like… the uppercut ?||

[ebon blaze]

Probably

[simple island]

Just use ||strength and dash away and like… don’t use sharp shadow||

[rain ridge]

yeah

[ebon blaze]

Agreed, I hate ||sharp shadow||

[rain ridge]

so far its been working great for me, i got really close to actually defeating him with this

[ebon blaze]

I know, but I wouldn't use it ||casual gameplay|| or ||pantheon 5||

[rain ridge]

||is nkg in p5? ||

[simple island]

yup

i mean charms aren't that important for ||nkg
but like the extra damage you are getting from sharp shadow probably isn't all that big
id much rather use the 4 notches to get stuff to heal (quick focus, soul catcher, shape of unn...)
than doing a bit of damage during one attack
I think you can also just dash through, turn around, and hit them, if you are not using sharp shadow (because if you are you will dash too far out to hit them)||

[amber flume]

I'm doing ||hunter's journal|| quest. Can I find a singular ||obblobbles|| in ||godhome||?

[simple island]

just kill any and you will get the ||entry||

it is very weird that it asks you ||to kill 3||

[amber flume]

I need to redo ||trial of the conqueror|| again

[simple island]

or do ||godhome||

but you may have other ||colo enemies to kill ?||

[amber flume]

nope

why ||wayward compass|| doesn't work in the ||abyss||?

[simple island]

Not sure I understand what you mean
it should
Screenshot of your map ?

[rain ridge]

did you update your map?

[amber flume]

I should be in the bottom right area

[simple island]

Do you have the charm equipped ?

[amber flume]

yes

[simple island]

Well tbh the game isn’t perfect so this could be just the game freaking out, and just moving over like one room will make you appear again

You are in the room in which you got ||shade cloak|| ?
Not sure why that room would be bugged

[amber flume]

it worked after I reentered the game

[desert condor]

thanks!

[amber flume]

what does this menu do in ||pantheon||?

[stoic cedar]

||im assuming u r asking about the bindings? if so, each of the bindings applies a particular debuff to the current pantheon run u r about to do. its mainly just for the extra challenge tho there are some rewards associated with the bindings||

[desert heart]

|| Im so confused, I can't pass through and cant go left either? ||

[stoic cedar]

||u very likely missed a dive floor next to the soul totem (looks kinda like a ball) that is to the left of where u r rn.||

[desert heart]

oh ytea thanks

|| how to unlock this ||

[rain ridge]

it unlocks way later in the game

[amber flume]

There is no achievment for ||pantheon of Artist||?

[rain ridge]

theres no achievement but you progress in completion% of the game

[mortal vine]

is ||p3 an achievement?||

[shut sparrow]

||are you sure it's oblobbles and not the smaller enemies called obbles?||

[amber flume]

yes, ||oblobbles||. I already defeated one in ||godhome||.

[rain ridge]

you just achieve a certain percentage of completion

[shut sparrow]

there should be

[desert heart]

alr ty, im guessing next is || the water area that i unlocked by using a simple key? ||

[rain ridge]

yeah go for it

[desert heart]

alr

[rain ridge]

theres no particular order to the areas id say, you can go wherever you like

[shut sparrow]

||if you play on ps then no, there is no trophy for it. On any other platform or just in the main menu of the game no matter the platform there is an achievement for each pantheon||

[shut sparrow]

||you get an achievement in the game/on steam. If you play on ps there is no trophy for it tho||

[mortal vine]

mkay

do we know why ps is special?

[shut sparrow]

I believe they have a limit on the amount of trophies there can be

but I'm not sure

[mortal vine]

oh damn

alr ty

[shut sparrow]

||the last pantheon does have a trophy tho so you'll have to do them all anyway||

[mortal vine]

mhm

[lofty cradle]

||im trying to do acid skip for love key anyone goy any tips?||

nvm i did it on my own

[hollow raptor]

What is the rhythm to attack as fast as possible?

[sinful vortex]

wdym

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1152097013840740423/1280377280845189140/r4tf.gif

[hollow raptor]

There’s some kind of rhythm to press the attack button to swing your nail as fast as possible. Alotta speedrunners use it.

[sinful vortex]

Yeah no I don’t think that exists

you just gotta spam the attack button afaik

[hollow raptor]

If you’re playing right now check for yourself. Spam and then try hitting it a bit slower with a rhythm. It’s faster. There’s lots of threads about it but no clue how to replicate.

[sinful vortex]

idk

[desert condor]

is there any difference in ||abs rad|| on ||ascended as compared to attuned? (except the double damage)||

[simple island]

nope

[simple island]

||0.28 between each slash is the fastest timing
you can go down to 0.25 between each slash if you do what are called nail cancels, basically you interrupt the animation of the nail swing by looking in a direction other than the one you were swinging in

that being said, all of this really shouldn't matter that much, just focus on timing your input instead of mashing, mashing is generally worst||

[desert condor]

I thought the ||swords and beams|| were a bit faster but maybe thats just me hallucinating

[dull garden]

whast charms should i use for ||p4||

[desert condor]

how far did you get in ||p4||

[dull garden]

idk like the boss after ||white defender||

||watcher knights i think||

[desert condor]

and what are you currently using

[shut sparrow]

please tag that

[dull garden]

||strenght, shaman, quickslash, dreamwielder and steadybody||

[dense bronze]

||can anyone tell me how they beat zote with all bindings im strugglin||

[shut sparrow]

||strength, shaman, qslash. For the last two I personally recommend steady body + grubsong but some prefer catcher, twister or shape of unn||

[shut sparrow]

first of all please use spoiler tags in this channel || like this ||

[dull garden]

||isnt shape of un the thing that makes you a small slug when you heal||

[shut sparrow]

yes

[dull garden]

whats its use

[shut sparrow]

||moving around while healing. It's pretty good but steady body + grubsong/wielder/nmg is better imo||

[shut sparrow]

||for all bindings generally you want to use spells as often as possible. And that really means a spell about every 3-4 nail hits. Other than that for zote specifically use dive to dodge him when he falls from the ceiling and use it for the iframes whenever he spawns the explosive zotes.
Is there anything you struggle with specifically||

[sacred wren]

I'm very partial to the ||let Zote die|| approach

[arctic cape]

||are any of the endings mutually exclusive or can i do all of them on the same save file||

[desert condor]

all can be done on the same save file

except they should be done in an order

||like once you satisfy conditions for ending B you can't get ending A||

[sinful vortex]

you can ||lock yourself from ending A if you meet the requirements for ending B/C||

||aside from that endings arent mutually exclusive||

[cosmic lantern]

Gang how to unlock || the abyss?||

[rain ridge]

||fight hornet in kingdoms edge||

[cosmic lantern]

How do I get there?

[rain ridge]

have you discovered the area yet?

[cosmic lantern]

Nope

Im in ||deepnest|| rn

Or through what area do I have to go through to get there

[rain ridge]

could you show me your map near the ||City of tears|| area

[cosmic lantern]

Give me like 15 mins I gotta do smth

[rain ridge]

alright

[dull garden]

|| im missing 1 vessel fragment and 2 mask shards but i dont know whcih ones||

[rain ridge]

||https://hollowknightchecklist.com|| try crosschecking here

[dull garden]

i only know i havent done ||flower quest||

[rain ridge]

you get ||1 mask shard|| from that

[dull garden]

yes i know

[rain ridge]

||https://reznormichael.github.io/hollow-knight-completion-check|| this is easier to use and figure out what youre missing btw

[dense bronze]

||Just most of it really. He's fine enough in hall but when zotelings take two hits to die the entire fight becomes so oppresive with all the random bs he can do. I've been trying to incorporate spells and dd into my playing style as much as I can and I'm not having any luck. I've been doing this for at least 30 hours and i've beaten him once 🥲 but i didnt think about using dd for when he falls from the ceiling thats a good shout||

[rain ridge]

it goes through your save file and checks it for you

[dull garden]

is it safe

[rain ridge]

yeah i used it

[shut sparrow]

||have you done all the bindings individually on pantheon 3? If not I'd highly recommend doing that first.
For when he spits his zotelings you should always remove them with a shriek. Stand next to it and wait until they fully spawn. They are invulnerable and the shriek will just knock them back if you do it too early.

Also, just like for healing, don't worry about saving your soul for it. You need to wait until they fully spawn anyway so you can just attack him 3 times if ur out of soul.
Generally never save your soul for anything. Use as much spells as possible (also fireball in close combat)||

please tag ||godhome||

[rain ridge]

you said you were in ||Deepnest|| so have you found the ||tram pass from the failed tramway?||

[cosmic lantern]

not yet

i just got to ||deepnest|| so yeah

[rain ridge]

well when you do you can access ||the tram in ancient basin and go right from there|| then you will have ||kingdoms edge||

[dull garden]

its not finding my save

i dont have it from steam

[cosmic lantern]

ohhh thanks

[rain ridge]

oh you have to find it and upload it ||%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight|| copy paste that in the Windows Explorer address bar

[rain ridge]

wait wdym

[dull garden]

yea its not finding my file

[rain ridge]

where are you searching?

[dull garden]

im doing what the tutorial says

[shut sparrow]

where did you buy it

[dull garden]

from xbox launcher

[shut sparrow]

not sure if it works then. You can just check all the ||mask shard and vessel fragment locations. It shouldn't take too long||

[rain ridge]

yeah i dont think it works then

cant find a workaround

[dense bronze]

||I haven't, but i'm pretty confident otherwise. P1 and P2 where short work and everthing other than zote in P3 i can beat pretty consistently, other than maybe nailmaster because i havent fought him yet.||

[amber flume]

does upward slash deal more damage? A lot of youtubers use upward slash most of the time.

[shut sparrow]

||no, however it doesn't knock you back||

[coarse nest]

What all happens after you beat ||mantis lords||

[polar flicker]

Wdym

[coarse nest]

I never went back to beat em lol, just wondering if I should go rn or explore for a bit

[polar flicker]

It opens a path to || deepnest ||

Gives a lot of || geo and also a pretty good charm ||

[umbral wasp]

how do I break this?

[granite hare]

||You'll know when you get the ability that let's you||

[dense bronze]

i give up. this is impossible for me. thanks for the help anyways

[quasi current]

someone knows who that boss is?

[granite hare]

||Dream boss you will find in the howling cliffs||

[quasi current]

you know his name? like which one

[granite hare]

||Gorb||

[polar flicker]

What is ?

[simple island]

that... isn't what I like to see
what were you doing ?

[lime sinew]

||I defeated the masters of the soul, what I do now?||

[dense bronze]

||p3 all bindings. i've put an unhealthy amount of time into trying to do it but its the first challenge in gaming thats completely stumped me. I feel like im hitting my head against a brick wall with gpz/uumuu and its not worth ruining my love for the game by getting mad at it.||

[simple island]

well you got a ||new upgrade, you can use that to go new places, if you ever encountered shacking floors before, go back there||

[simple island]

that is understandable, if you are on PC, you may want to try mods, or simply do the other achivements for this game (5 hour speedrun, ||steel soul||) which I found to be a lot of fun

[calm verge]

is it safe to add mods such as ||pale court while im still progressing?||

[lime sinew]

?

[gray bane]

where do i go after defeating ||hornet sentinel||

[polar flicker]

|| explore ancient basin ||

[polar flicker]

Also shd spoiler tht msg

[wanton mason]

[short kettle]

||Great slash||

[wanton mason]

alr ty

[short kettle]

||Strength is a 50% increase in damage. You do 1.5x your nail damage.

Great slash is 2.5x your nail damage.||

[wanton mason]

ooh alr

[thick wing]

||its been since yesterday almost 24h that im trying to beat radiance so i gave up and i found all of the charms (i need one more and it the charms where i need to find all of the grubs) any suggestion of combo of charms to easily beat radiance ?||

||btw i have 10 notches||

[lapis pasture]

Idk

Get really good

Ik you can use ||abyss shriek|| to spam her in the first phase

[thick wing]

Im doin that

[rain ridge]

||mop, unb strength, and shaman stone were my essentials||

[thick wing]

[wanton mason]

||p4|| is pure pain

[rain ridge]

[wanton mason]

its like just good luck with ||pure vessel|| cuz its so hard for the first time

[wanton mason]

oh 🗿

[rain ridge]

man

i thought ||pv was only in pop||

[solid heart]

Me when a mod becomes popular a belief

[rain ridge]

yeah i thought the ||two white knights|| were the mod

[polar flicker]

|| I think if u leave him in deepnest u won't face him ||

Although I'm not 100% sure on it

[solid heart]

As long as you don't ||fight him in Dirtmouth, he will not be there||

[shut sparrow]

[coarse nest]

How do I get beyond this

[lunar patrol]

uh i think theres a diff path that leads to there so u can enter it

[coarse nest]

Where's that other path from?

Inventory for context

[fringe lark]

||U have to cut the vine in green path and in another area that I don’t think you e been to yet||

[sinful vortex]

go around from the other side

You’ll get there later on

[rough peak]

Do you get something from completing ||Path Of Pain|| ?

[sinful vortex]

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

[sinful vortex]

Some lore and a ||journal entry||

[rough peak]

Ok thanks

[coarse nest]

||Queen's garden?||

[sinful vortex]

yep

[coarse nest]

Alr, just found that area

[civic rose]

fun challenge anyways

[rough peak]

By fun you mean 5 days stuck on one part

[civic rose]

i beat it in line 50 minutes total

overexaggeration

[supple igloo]

hey, anyone playing on mac with a ps5 controller? i cant make the option button work. anyone can help?

[simple island]

Are you using steam ?

[supple igloo]

yeah

[simple island]

If so you can always try to enable the steam controller integration

[supple igloo]

done all that and still dont work

all other imputs work

[simple island]

You enabled steam input ?

[supple igloo]

yeah

[supple igloo]

all inputs work except options and start

[simple island]

Controller issues are always the same
There are a lot of potential layers of compatibility (steam, the game, a third party software like ds4windows)
If you don’t have enough it doesn’t work, if you have too many it fails

So tinker, try without steam input, try with or without the native input option in the menu

[supple igloo]

already done all that

[simple island]

Generally things work better when plugged too

[supple igloo]

i did everything

bluetooth and plugged in

[simple island]

What do you want me to tell you

[supple igloo]

steam input on and off

[simple island]

If you’ve done everything than GG

[coarse nest]

https://generalarcade.com/gamepadtool/

This worked for me

[coarse nest]

Basically you go through your controller buttons and make a mapping, then give that mapping to steam controller settings

hello, please delete the image and resend it spoilered as per channel rules

[fathom saffron]

Oh, sorry

Does anyone has strategies for this thing? Or is it just about practice?

[robust ridge]

||the biggest tip for the whole fight is just to not chase her around during the platforms phase, let her teleport to the middle before attacking her||

||her attacks are really easy to dodge from afar and this'll give you plenty of chances to heal||

||also spam shriek like there's no tomorrow||

[fathom saffron]

Ye, about that... I can't get to second phase ;-;

[robust ridge]

uhh

just practice then

oh you thought you'd have to redo ||p5|| lol

[fathom saffron]

Ye xDD

[robust ridge]

also ||only heal during her laser attack and the phase change||

||descending dark is good for saving yourself from attacks when something seems undodgeable because of the iframes it gives||

But you should ask in #1057825333841240104 anyways because its most likely caused by mods

[fallen wolf]

Sorry for the quality, but I’m not sure what’s happening here T-T

Its been happening on every boss, I remember there being some invinsibility frames, but now they can hit me back to back? I have some mods enabled, but none of them seem to be whats causing this

[fallen wolf]

Okii

[rough peak]

Can anyone recommend a build for ||Pantheon 3||

[proud quarry]

How far into the game is || hornet 2 (the second fight, in kingdoms edge) || as like a percentage?

[stoic cedar]

its very hard to quantify this since hollow knight is non-linear by design. its possible to get there quite early, but its also possible to get there very late into the game

[proud quarry]

Hm

[stoic cedar]

can you send a screenshot of your charms?

[rough peak]

I have all

[normal skiff]

||i myself still havent beaten pantheo 3 too but i got pretty far with unbreakable strengh, quicl slash, mark of pride and fury of the fallen||

[rough peak]

I'll try it out

Thanks

[normal skiff]

||i got smoked by uummuu||

[rough peak]

That's where I die too

[normal skiff]

||uummuu without quirrel is so freaking hard||

[rough peak]

Fr fr

[normal skiff]

I mostly die to ||god tamer||

[stoic cedar]

||fury of the fallen is a rather terrible suggestion ngl. i would suggest spell twister or 2 1-notch charms like steady body + grubsong instead||

[normal skiff]

||god tamer is so annoying bc of the unsyncronized attacks its so ubpredictable and fast||

[rough peak]

||Dash through the beast and use a spell on him||

[normal skiff]

Okay my bad i dont know much abt charms im just using my experiance but thanks

[normal skiff]

||i always dash to late or early😭||

I got ||pantheon 2|| 1st try idk how

[rough peak]

||Sharp Shadow helps with that||

[normal skiff]

Okay thanks ill try

[stoic cedar]

||i would not suggest using sharp shadow at all||

[rough peak]

||SShadow and Dashmaster is a good combo imo||

[normal skiff]

||sharp shadow is really good for the radiance fight imo||

[rough peak]

Only for the ||Light barrier and floating orbs||

[normal skiff]

||TO THIS DAY i dispise those stupid orbs||

I beat him tho

2 days ago

[rough peak]

Fr fr

[stoic cedar]

||sharp shadow just unnecesarily decreases your dps compared to other options and the longer shade dash is unhelpful in most scenarios especially when there are other methods of dodging||

[normal skiff]

I was screaming so happy i was when i beat him

||i beat radiance with quick slash, shaman stone, mark of pride and spell twister||

[rough peak]

How do I add the spoiler thingy on photos

||how do you get grimmchild upgraded like that mine look like a black skull with wiped out eyeliner||

[rough peak]

Thanks

[rough peak]

When you kill ||Nightmare King Grimm||

[normal skiff]

Didnt even get past phase 1 😭

[stoic cedar]

u still need to delete your unspoilered image

[rough peak]

Oh yeah

[normal skiff]

||troupe master grimm is my fav fight||

But ||nightmare king grimm is just too stressfull and makes it not as fun||

[stoic cedar]

||once you become more familiar with nkg's speed and attacks then it becomes more fun, its obviously not as fun if u r getting absolutely wrecked||

[rough peak]

Use these charms

[normal skiff]

Im getting absolutely wrecked ||but i do trouoe master grimm in godhome for fun||

[normal skiff]

Okay thanks

[rough peak]

I used them to beat him

[normal skiff]

||i am so ass at doing nailarts tho||

I first forget they exist and when i try and do one i fail horribly

[rough peak]

||Charge a Great slash before dodging the bats||

[normal skiff]

||not a dash slash and then jump over the bats and dash towards him?||

[wanton mason]

guys i really appreciate the help if someone helps me, im doing|| pantheon 5|| and there are some amount of ||benches ||so can someone please tell me best|| charm|| build for every ||bench|| and for last one ill equip ||deep focus quick focus and u.strengh + grubsong||

[rough peak]

Both do the trick

[stoic cedar]

||yea nailarts can be hard to use at first but there are some good uses for them (like nkg) so i would suggest that you give them a shot||

[normal skiff]

||Ill practice them in godhome||

[rough peak]

I can't get past ||P3|| so I can't help. Sorry

[stoic cedar]

||you can try them on troupe master grimm, thats also a good boss to use nail arts on||

[normal skiff]

Same for me

[normal skiff]

My fav fight

[rough peak]

Oh and try ||SShadow with him|| I find it helpful

[wanton mason]

keep trying man all of us went through that i also struggled alot with it

[tranquil oriole]

i wouldn’t recommend changing your build too much tbh

consistency helps you get a feel for combat faster imo

[rough peak]

||Uumuu's a bitch||

[wanton mason]

||markoth|| is just my biggest fear

[normal skiff]

||i think p3 is harder than p4( excluding the final boss like sly and pure vessel)||

[wanton mason]

i agree ngl lol

[normal skiff]

||i keep dying on either god tamer or uummuu||

[wanton mason]

when you see a ||jellyfish|| walk near it and ||uumuu|| will follow you usually so then hit the|| jellyfish|| towards ||uumuu ||and spam everything

[rough peak]

Why didn't I think of that?

[normal skiff]

||the jellyfish always end up hitting me to falling to the water making me unable to hit uummuu||

[rough peak]

Good point tho

See you all in a bit

[wanton mason]

always stay on the wall

and stick to it

its the best spot

[normal skiff]

||WE JUST NEED QUIRREL||

[rough peak]

He's the GOAT

[wanton mason]

||quirre||l the goat

[normal skiff]

||with quirrel i beat him first try||

||KASAAAA||

[wanton mason]

DEKU

[rough peak]

It's more like HASSA

[bright junco]

You can pogo god tamer

[wanton mason]

but yall won't complain about the DEKU

[rough peak]

What do you think of my ||P3|| Build

[normal skiff]

||yeah but when he does the spinning ball attack and jumps up thats where he messes me up||

[wanton mason]

lemme fix that

first you wont use ||nail arts||

[normal skiff]

Maybe on ||grimm||

[rough peak]

I use them a lot

[wanton mason]

second, ||you'll have A LOT of problems without mark of pride because it will shine in sly's second phase||

[normal skiff]

||also dont do grey prince zote yet since he gets skipped if you didnt do him yet so do it after p3||

[bright junco]

I like to use a full nail build, but for balance that's good

[wanton mason]

still not worth it

[normal skiff]

So it becomes a bit easier with a boss less

[jade sedge]

||Twister is better than catcher and sshadow isnt that good unless you really want to keep it but looks great||

[rough peak]

At the second bench I'll switch it up

[wanton mason]

oh alr then you're good

[rough peak]

See you all in a bit

[wanton mason]

alr

ill be in pain with ||p5||

[jade sedge]

Also, ||nail arts are super useful, imo you should definitely use them especially for the final boss||

[bright junco]

Dash away right before it hits and start pogoing again

[rough peak]

I'll steam P3 tho if anyone wants to watch just go to the Livestream chat and you'll see it

[primal storm]

Guys i need good modded bosses(hard ones) i already did p5 All bindings hitless snd infernal king grimm hitless radiance no charms, so any good ones?

[normal skiff]

||sly u should use spells on bc of his massive hitbox attacks||

[primal storm]

Okay but theres nothing to tag sometimes

[normal skiff]

We all have to go through the wait

[primal storm]

Too much waiting

[bright junco]

I started playing Hollow Knight in 2022

So 3 years for me now

[normal skiff]

[primal storm]

|i did 165 hours(my first run) all godhome bosses radiance and all pantheons full binds and all charms all journies entries everything basically|

[marsh spoke]

bro i started the game a few hours ago. you think i know, what this means?

[normal skiff]

||hornet protector is the begin of the game so u dont have charms het alot so i suggest u try to learn her attack and jump over them in time and heal when shes tired||

[normal skiff]

I have 50 hours on my ||106%|| save

[marsh spoke]

i do but its really hard

[solid heart]

Spoiler everything you've sent please

[primal storm]

How

[normal skiff]

Its a hard game the boss took me a while too but so early on there not really much u can do exept to just keep trying sorry

[bright junco]

|| full nail = mark of pride, long nail, quick slash, strength ||

[solid heart]

Edit with two | each side

[primal storm]

Js practice i can do most bpdses without charms

[primal storm]

I do that

|radiance|

[solid heart]

TWO each side

[stoic cedar]

you need to type it like this: ||example||

[solid heart]

Not one

[bright junco]

Lmao, I forgot which is which

[primal storm]

Hm okay

[normal skiff]

||Hornet protector is greenpath hornet||

[primal storm]

Guys heres a tip for beating ||Pantheon 5 and hard bosses||

practice

[bright junco]

Took me so long to learn, especially since Hollow Knight was my first PC game

[primal storm]

Yall play on keyboard?

[normal skiff]

Im still standing better than i ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid

[bright junco]

Fr

[primal storm]

Controller exists

[normal skiff]

No ps4 controller (a red one to be exact)

[primal storm]

||guys charms matter nail does too but i can do abs radiance hitless no charms normal nail||

[normal skiff]

The fact that its red is nessicary

[bright junco]

Used to, but I switched at || queens garden ||

[normal skiff]

U prob have like 500 hours on hk

I only have 50

[primal storm]

15k*

hours

[normal skiff]

YEAH EXACTLY

[bright junco]

I think I only have 100

[normal skiff]

||I CANT EVEN BEAT GRUZ MOTHER ON RADIANT||

[bright junco]

Still enough for 112%, || path of pain, but still need to finish p5 (need to learn abs rad) ||

[primal storm]

||I had a save on glass soul and i had it full percent but i got hot by a frickin aspid while trying to get a wanderers journal in kingdoms edge,i even completed all pantheons hitless||

[normal skiff]

Fr

[bright junco]

Scary

[primal storm]

Even ||aikg dont scare me||

[stoic cedar]

choombert new knight?? also spoiler tags

[bright junco]

I think the best advice for all of Hollow Knight is PRACTICE THE BOSSSES

[primal storm]

evn ||abs radiance 3.0 dont scares me as much||

[normal skiff]

||primal aspid > abs radiance neg diff||

[primal storm]

No existing diff

It aint evn fair

[normal skiff]

||0.5 primal aspid> any radiance||

Half a ||primal aspid>multiverse||

[primal storm]

Yall use ||transcendence mod?? It adds charms and lemms strength gives strength for each relic, 60 dmg per nail if u have all relics i think||

[normal skiff]

I dont use mods at all

[primal storm]

Why?

[normal skiff]

And im not planning to

[bright junco]

I've only tried Pale Court

[primal storm]

[normal skiff]

I got it off summer sale

[primal storm]

Must have mods is ||debug, Custom knight, Godhome+||

[primal storm]

It aint evn that expensive and it has so much content, especially mods

14,99 bucks is like pocket money

[normal skiff]

I saw it on sale and i knew silksong was coming up so i thought for 7 euro it would he worth a shot and got obsessed

[primal storm]

Buddy 14,99 for that game feels like scamming

[normal skiff]

And i payed 7,50

[primal storm]

Especially that steam sale at 3.99

[normal skiff]

Facts brotha

[normal skiff]

I had the same with undertale

[primal storm]

Dead cells is also quite good(nothing to do with hollow knight

[normal skiff]

But with undertale it had a hadder effect

Undertale is also my fav game oat

[primal storm]

Good

Undertale didnt hit as much as hk did

But idk

U should try dead cells

[normal skiff]

For me it did bc i found it as a 7 year old kid when it first released through a yt video of jacksepticeye doing sans

[primal storm]

Its more of a retry random room similar to isaac binding or sum game

[normal skiff]

And my grandoa bought it for me

[primal storm]

[normal skiff]

And i dreamed abt undertale for months

[primal storm]

||i already did the game once but i never fought failed champion bc someone deleted my save thinking there was a problem with it||

[robust ridge]

bruh how did that happen

also sorry i thought I replied already but forgot

[robust ridge]

||dream nail the maggots before the fight to enter with soul, then use shaman stone and dream wielder

stand next to the boss and dash under it whenever it jumps, getting a shriek in after

hit it with dream nail when it's down to get soul and spam 3 shrieks as it's getting up and jumping to the middle, which immediately knocks it down again||

[robust ridge]

oh also one last thing ||only knock it down like 3 times, cause you need it to actually break the floor to win||

[verbal heron]

so its just like the first fight okay

thanks

[reef sail]

keep playing

if you can't do something come back later

[bright junco]

|| Dash ||

[robust ridge]

that's how this game works

[robust ridge]

don't just drop an unnecessary spoiler like that

[warped flower]

Man this game is difficult... Kinda

[bright junco]

Sorry mb

[warped flower]

Nah I already know some of the mechanics

[robust ridge]

you're good just keep it in mind

[warped flower]

Like I know about the ||dream nail|| and how it lets you ||dash forwards||

But how do I obtain it?

[robust ridge]

just keep playing

[bright junco]

Definitely the biggest draw of Metroidvanias

You always feel so smart when you remember to go back to previously unreachable areas lol

Feels so rewarding

[robust ridge]

general tip, look for obstacles you can't pass and keep track of them ||(if you go back to dirthmouth you can buy different kinds of map markers to help with this)||

||ex: tall wall, long gap, door which can't be opened, etc||

you can't get softlocked in this game unless you're REALLY trying (like there are very few possible and they all require very difficult skips)

there's always a way forward, just sometimes not directly

yeah but a lot of people who pick up hollow knight don't seem very familiar with how metroidvanias work

I think cause it's a lot of people's first

[bright junco]

Was the first Metroidvania for me

[robust ridge]

same

[warped flower]

It's not a first personally but like it just seemed wierd

Like the jump was very close

Like just a couple of pixels close

But it's undoable

For now at least

[robust ridge]

||the game likes to do this, I think a lot of them are intentionally left in so people can do them with skips in speedruns and challenge runs||

[bright junco]

When I go into games I generally don't care about spoilers (this is mainly because most games I play don't really have deep lore). I didn't stay blind for all of Hollow Knight, but eventually regretted it. HK gave me a greater understanding of blind playthroughs

Definitely gonna stay blind for Silksong... If it exists

[robust ridge]

same

I didn't play for a long time so I had some spoilers going in

maybe the strat is just to play silksong as soon as it drops

[bright junco]

I'll get it when it drops for sure

Still don't care too much if things get a bit spoiled, but just won't look at lore until I finish

[robust ridge]

i'm gonna avoid spoilers just to see how different the experience is

[bright junco]

But I do understand that some people really hate spoilers and feel like it ruins the experience

But personally I feel like it just changes the experience

[bright junco]

Exactly

[robust ridge]

spoiler

you can't

don't think so

[finite mulch]

ok

ty

[robust ridge]

does anyone have a guide for ||p5ab||

[lapis pasture]

Whats the point of the ||secret room above grimm||

[teal oracle]

lore

[lapis pasture]

Where is the lore💔

There’s nothing here

[tranquil oriole]

the best lore isn’t real

video games don’t have lore and no one is talking about it

won’t catch me reading the fucking

grimoire

[stoic cedar]

I haven’t seen a detailed guide on it but I found that watching parts of various ||r5ab|| runs was really helpful when I was grinding for ||p5ab||, especially on the harder bosses

[solid heart]

There isn't a detailed guide yet sadly

Someone was working on it but I haven't seen much

[bright sorrel]

or IS there

[bright junco]

What charm set is best for || the eternal ordeal ||

[sharp torrent]

the world record build is ||mark of pride, strength, quick focus, soul catcher||

[bright junco]

|| No shaman stone? ||

|| I beat it a while ago, switched PC, so I don't have the background, but forgot what I used ||

[sharp torrent]

||yeah. they prioritized using nail damage and saving the soul for healing as much as possible. of course, you don't need to survive nearly as long as that build did, so feel free to swap in shaman stone for something else||

[bright junco]

I'll try this out, thx

[solid heart]

This is without the ||fluke duplication glitch?||

[hallow hedge]

oh my god genio

[solid heart]

Hi

[amber flume]

what is this circle?

[short kettle]

Fight ||other verison of that boss by using dream nail.||

[hallow hedge]

uh

try ||using "that" nail||

[simple island]

||Fluke dupe doesn’t happen on current patch
It was like a 1.568 bug or something||
I doubt it is used for any serious record attempts and stuff

[solid heart]

It still works on my game which is updated to the last patch

And I saw a 10001 record with it

[simple island]

that goes against what I thought was true

[solid heart]

Wait no, 10001 is normal lol

I saw a record somewhere I'm sure

[amber flume]

||Brooding Mawlek|| is so hard. So easy to get hit. Any tips to fight ||Brooding Mawlek||?

[simple island]

The fight can be rather long, but you should really be able to ||survive and heal back all the damage you can take
If you stay away from them and their claw attacks, nothing should really hit you, the jump is really predictable, and you can usually heal after they do it (unless they follow it with another jump)
And for the big spit attack what you want to do is go above them to the other side (and get a pogo or two along the way)||

The fight is also very optional, so depending on how far into the game you are you may just want to ignore it

But yeah besides that it’s getting one hit, leave, get back in

[ornate bison]

Guys any tips for ||sly in p3||

[tawny hawk]

is there a ||skip like bluelake shade skip|| that i can use on a ||steel soul run||

[neat karma]

no

[simple island]

The way you ||route early game is probably to get dive/lantern, get into peaks, and fall into resting grounds||

[amber flume]

||oro and mato|| have such a long range. how should I deal with them?

[cosmic lantern]

||staying close with shade soul spam should work, atleast that's what I did||

[tawny hawk]

so no ||skips|| ig

[simple island]

The best tip is to practice them extensively in the ||hall of gods and not just grind pantheon attempts
Personally I mostly only use nail arts, which I would really recommend, but being more aggressive and face tanking also really works||

[cosmic lantern]

Also how do I get to ||godhome||?

[simple island]

Well you can still do a lot of skips, just not ||shade ones
Technically you could get cdash and use it to go through blue lake|| as you would with the skip

[simple island]

how do you give tips for bosses yet seemingly haven’t met them
Under ||waterway’s bench, search through the fluke|| mess

[tawny hawk]

||wait for that one attack when he does 2 slashes then goes up you can get like 2 nail hits in and just dodge the nail arts he throws at you by jumping

when he goes into the second phase jumping everywhere bait him into attacking you by going near him then dashing when he does so (you should get like 1 nail hit in)||

[lapis sparrow]

whats the easiest ||dream boss|| right after the ||failed champion|| or whatever hes called

[simple island]

I would say that he is the hardest so

Any

[lapis sparrow]

wait rlly?

[simple island]

Yeah
He is the only one that ||deals double damage||

So the others are quite a lot less deadly

[lapis sparrow]

i just cheesed him

[tawny hawk]

you can bully him if you have a ||good nail/spell build||

[simple island]

laamme

[lapis sparrow]

womp womp

[simple island]

(I wasn’t talking to you dw, I was talking about the cheese)

[tawny hawk]

ye ye

[simple island]

(I would never fight ||failed champ without an upgraded spell||)

[tawny hawk]

i just bought ||strenght from leg eater + used mop & quickslash||

[lapis sparrow]

so whats the best charms for ||the dream boss version of soul master||

[tawny hawk]

he is not that hard but prob a ||spell build|| since he teleports 24/7

||you cant really get value out of your nail that much||

[lapis sparrow]

these are all i have what should i use

[tawny hawk]

||shaman, quickslash, grubsong, mop|| prob

[lapis sparrow]

||mop?||

[tawny hawk]

||mark of pride||

[lapis sparrow]

oh

alr gonna go fight him

[tawny hawk]

or you can use ||steady|| instead of ||grubsong||

[simple island]

Or ||quick focus instead of quick slash
Quick slash|| is generally great but maybe not for that boss specifically

[orchid bluff]

||What's the charm build for radiant AbsRad? I have all the charms||

[tawny hawk]

||yeah it is a good charm but quickfocus is pretty meh there is a windows to heal in that fight you can get like 3 masks in when he does that one 6 fireball attack or smt idk what it is called||

||like 6 fireballs rotate around him while he goes foward||

||i dont have a problem w quickfocus||

tho

[simple island]

||Quick slash, strength, shaman stone, steady body, overcharm soul eater||

[tawny hawk]

||overcharm?||

[simple island]

If you don’t like ||steady|| then remove it and put nothing in its place because there is nothing worth slotting in

[simple island]

:3

[orchid bluff]

||Shouldn't I use spell twister instead of soul eater?||

[tawny hawk]

is soul a problem in ||absrad|| you hit him like a billion times

[simple island]

||Soul eater is better than twister
Who cares by how much you overcharm
4 notch charm better than 2||

[lapis sparrow]

how tf do you hit this guy with ||spells?||

[tawny hawk]

||just keep your soul until he does an attack where it is easily hittable||

||you can use ur nail while waiting for those attacks||

[orchid bluff]

||alright, alright, thanks, AbsRad, NKG and WD are the only ones I don't have radiant yet.||

[tawny hawk]

||if you're struggling with the last phase try to save some soul so you can use dive while he bonks his head into the ground||

[simple island]

||Absrad|| is really the only hard one amongst those 3
It is a big spike in difficulty, good luck

[tawny hawk]

cant you just cheese ||wd|| :)

[simple island]

Kinda
You can juggle them for a while

[tawny hawk]

yeah

is ||p5|| as hard as it sounds

i never tried it i am scared that i will pull my hair out

[simple island]

Idk
My first attempt ||got to the final boss||
I really was overly scared of it
But… it’s also like really hard

[tawny hawk]

does it buff ||pv||?

[simple island]

Not that I know

[tawny hawk]

is ||absrad|| like the only issue then

is there anything else that is difficult

[simple island]

It does give different arenas to a ||handful of bosses
They don’t change that much, but markoth and no eyes get significantly harder arena and those can be an issue
In particular you do markoth —> grey prince zote, which can be deadly||

[tawny hawk]

chat what is he cooking

oh welp

[simple island]

But ||absrad|| is kinda the main issue
That boss is… it’s something alright

[tawny hawk]

hmm

okay

imma attempt a run

[simple island]

Gl

[tawny hawk]

does ||zote|| deal 2 masks

btw

i might be done for

if he does

i lowk hate that boss

[lapis sparrow]

okay so whats the easiest ||dream boss|| i keep dying on his last phase

oh my gawd this is the easiest 😭

im screwed

[amber flume]

what is to the right of ||hall of gods||?

[delicate falcon]

||The thing on the bottom floor is a statue that unlocks once youve beat every boss (in the hall) and the top is just another boss statue that unlocks when you encounter it in the pantheon||

[lavish igloo]

Hello

[amber flume]

What is behind these locked doors?

[delicate falcon]

Do you want like the name? I described what they are in the message

[amber flume]

Ah, I thought you just described the ||hall|| itself

[delicate falcon]

Sall good

[amber flume]

||the difference between attuned, ascended and radiant is in number of masks of damage right? no change in enemy attacks.||
