||asc and rad can have more health or tweaks to the arena|| but yes the important part is damage increase
||statues with two circles mean there’s another similar fight that you can toggle between once you unlock it||
How do I get this achievment? Do I just ||not kill the nailsmith||?
essentially yeah
Well actually you need to go to Sheo's after I believe
gotta come in from above

there’s a room above this that isn’t ||hive, but it has bees, and there’s a secret entrance||
gotta spoiler tag these images btw
You mean like this
yep
Yeah, now please delete your earlier untagged images
I am currently doing so at the moment
how 2 change custom knight mod's skins from packed file to file
oh yeah forgor
do yall have tips to beat ||soul tyrant?||
Use your ||spells|| most of the time
i keep dying on the last phase specifically
i can get past the first 3 pretty consistently
||Then use the dash to avoid it's desolate dive during its second phase||
do you actully have any tips for its last phase?
Please spoiler tag your messages
K
||Change direction between each dive. When you see it appear, jump and dash. When it stands still, attack. Spell spam is a good strategy. ||
Then how to beat the ||Radiance||please
||Spam up spell||


i always get hit when im trying to attack him during ||soul orb barrage||
Thanks
Spoiler tag this 
bro he told you to spoiler tag it
Who's he
otso
Otso peak
fr W otso
alright i just need one more ||dream boss||
whats the easiest after ||soul tyrant||?
Which ones do you know about?
ive already gotten ||the hllow knight ending||
Yeah but i'd still rather not spoil you
ive heard ||white defender|| is the easiest?
youre lying arent you
No
id trust otso
||I wouldnt say easiest but not too hard either, i'd say its easier than tyrant||
then whats the easiest?
Well do you want me to just spoil it for you?
depends if its from another ||ending||
then id say ive fought the normal version
ive explored basically everywhere
||Endings dont lead to anything||
probably ||lost kin||
im tryna get ||1800 essence|| for the second ||ending||
ill just fight ||lost kin||
||Thats the easiest imo||
theres this area here
im quite stuck on
its a dark area with something attacking me
what ||charm build|| do you reccomend for ||lost kin||
tho it is pitch black so idk what it is
you have to come back later
you need a certain item
Please delete the image and resend with spoiler tags
What charms do you have
okok
don't go to dark areas if you can't see anything
you're not meant to yolo it
||Do you like using nail arts? Cyclone especially is very useful for lost kin||
nah i never rlly use them unless theres dead time in between attacks
||Then swap compass to dcrest or gsong, and maybe MoP for quick focus but MoP works too. Dcrest oneshots the balloons which can be helpful but you also dont get soul, so gsong is better if you dont have trouble with them||
||And nmg is great if you feel like you want to use nail arts||
and theres this part which i think is supposed to break but its not breaking
such scenarios will repeat fairly often, as the game is a metroidvania
meaning u go to place, u can't enter place cuz u don't have x item, u go somewhere else till u get x item
thats like the only place i could go
look again at the map, but closely
explore any area you can go to, but haven't been to
that's standard for metroidvanias and required to be able to progress between areas without much hassle
explore any area you can go to, but haven't been to
Best Charm loadout for ||NKG, PV and Absrad (For p5)||?
Not singular but 1 that works for all 3
||str, quickslash, shaman stone, twister||
i went through all of them lol
you didn't
|| i did reach an area with a train thing, but i cant turn it on||
Oh wait, thanks!
||1800??????||
it'll soon become cheap af
You’ll get enough money for it soon
I’d just reccomend saving up rn
but I wouldn’t reccomend saving up for it rn
Spend geo on other things
İ have a problem
?
İ have 30k of geos and I bought all things from the ||stores and I've banished the grimm troupe|| what could I do with it

but did you go to ||the lantern and you turned it off?||

best way to farm geo ?
What r u farming for
for making my charms ||unbreakable i give wrong charm to grimm now i need 24 k to make unbrakble str||
quick question how do i make the text cover itself so i dont spoiler smth?
Let's go!
Two || at start and end of message
but || before and after message
||you could buy the unbreakble charms with the money, they are quite expensive||
||He banished the troupe||
oh wait the ||grimm troupe is gone||
İ banished the ||grimm troupe||
yeah i just realized that
how do you do that tho ||without buying everything from there||
Did you get the ||soul vessel from the fountain?||
How to get this one?
||If you banish instead of doing NKG, Divine leaves||
||cant you activate the falme anymore?||
||Theres a breakable wall in the room to the left in deepnest||
||colo 2||
No, unfortunately. ||Banishing locks you out of the unbreakables||
that sucks, im happy i did ||nkg||
btw does someone know the best way to get geo?
|i need like 20 or 25k
||for the unbreakble charms||
should i use ||more geo charm from leg eater ? || tysm
||fragile greed doesnt help colo money unfortunately ||
how the HELL do you beat the ||trial of fools||?
||which colo?||
||use quick focus and mark of pride i would say, for me it worked||
||Play defensive, use your healing chances. Great slash is an amazing tool to have, itll one shot most of the annoying enemies. ||
I thought I had to beat ||nkg|| and then ||banish the grimm troupe to get carefree melody
||
if you've been using ||nail lengthening charms, then keep those on, also use strength, shaman stone, spell twister, quick focus, nailmaster's glory, dream weilder, etc. avoid charms like thorns of agony and sharp shadow. they're not helpful here||
oh yeah also ||steady body|| is good
I've been using ||thorns of agony and sharp shadow the entire time 🥀 I'm stupid fr||
they just said it isnt good here
emphasis on here
||sharp shadow|| isnt good tho imo
||sharp shadow has uses, but thorns has a quirky interaction with the invincibility timer in that about half of the timer has already run by the time the thorns are done and you can move again, so it's basically useless||
It's good on bosses such as ||traitor lord and hollow knight|| in my experience
Damn
i can never ||shadow dash through the hollow knight personally||
||do note that sharp shadow does only 1x nail damage, and the real reason you should use it is for safety dashing through things||
I mean you can do either one whilst aiming for ||112%||
and ||2 notches is quite the steep price for that imo, so i'd just use twister, heart, or a combination of steady body, dream weilder, and grubsong||
do what count for that?
as spoken by ||hornet|| herself "git gud"
||If you have hiveblood you can use it to heal without leaving||
if you want actual tips i can go there and help you
İ tryed
||how to beat pantheons 3 man 😢 ||
is that one of the ||crusher trap grubs||?
Yeah
depends
||which bosses are you struggling with?||
what i like to do for those is try to time them in my head so that the ||crusher is down when i dash||
Thanks
||zote hornet and nailsmster sheo||
hiii im back
||1. restart your entire file and don't save zote
2. i actually have a hornet 2 guide on my yt if you want me to send it
3. and wait hold on sheo is pantheon 2||
you want me to do an whole new run just not to fight ||zote?|| and sure send it over
i rly dont know which ||pentheon sheo is, i just know its the thrid door||
||not really. i just don't have very good advice for him. you just gotta fight him a lot||
once you have zote in hall of gods not too bad
be careful for the balloons that do double damage, and quick focus lets you get 3 heals per stagger
||For GPZ, you wanna use descending dark when he jumps through the floor, and when hes doing the rapid sword swings, its risky to pogo him, so ig be ready not to||
im prettur sure with unbreakable strenght you can one shot all zotelings

Any tips on getting ||hunter’s|| ||mark||
thank you!
Google what you do and dont need, if youre just going for ||mark|| dont waste your time with other things
does anyone know the best charm kit for ||pantheon thid door, is that pantheon 3?||
||nah get seal of binding even tho you don't need it||
Do I need ||godhome|| ||mask||
Whatever you feel good with
Thankfully no lol
Man I lost time
I believe its only things pre dlc?
||the one on the far right is pantheon 3. my kit for all the pantheons is shaman stone, strength, quickslash, and spell twister, but you can use anything not garbage and get it done. it's really up to you||
||p sure you need grimm||
alright let me try yours
||if you're someone who likes nail lengthening charms, then you should probably drop twister for long nail so it's not a jarring transition to not having them.||
holy shit i am so bad at typing things
Thats what you dont need
alright i might do that
wiki gaming
also use ||spells. when your soul is in the extra vessels you get about half as much soul from attacking, so don't hold too much in those unless you're specifically saving up for a hard upcoming boss||
Holy
Bruh
omg i hate reading usernames why have you two done this to me
goncrats!
Thanks
excuse me ||benediction||?
Euh
Just some french
i see
||how do i do trial of the fool with primal aspids using aimbot and flying enemies just flying or teleporting out of range the second i get close to them? the highest i get to is wave 16 with the death loodles and no floor||
İ have the same problem then I can't help srry
To get ||neglect|| achievement, do I have to ||leave Zote to die at Vengeful King||?
İ guess so
Correct
yes, you need to ||come back to it and hit his corpse when he's dead to get the achievement tho||
İ didn't get achievement while doing that
K
forgot about that part lol
||use mainly nailarts and spells. Try to go for and onehit the annoying enemies first and then deal with the rest. If only one enemy is remaining you can often farm it for soul (preferably with dreamnail) and heal up. For charms focus it around spells and soul/healing. Charms that only support the normal nail attack aren't very good. For the health loodles specifically use great slash such as for pretty much any other wave as well.
If you want a specific charm loadout you can send an image of the ones you have||
is there anywhere i can find out how much health any rad has in each of her indivudal phases?
||can you not use spells if you have grubberfly's elegy equipped?||
You can
||Would anyone happen to know what this door in godhome is?||
Its unlocked once you beat each pantheon with the bindings.
||Doing bindings on the pantheons unlocks each slot. You get rewards in pantheons for each big orb||
Yep
Chat spoilers on the important words 💔
I spoiled my question
Oh mb I'm new
I'll keep in mind-
Its my first run on hk, I think I’m at 80/90% but rn Idk what else I can do. I’m pretty sure I discovered the entire map (except many secret ways ig). Can som1 help me a bit on what to do next etc. I can show pics if my map too btw. Ps: I have 2 keys in my inv and I don’t rlly know where I can use the.
Thank you
||do you plan on getting full completion?||
||Get all charms including unbreakable strength greed and heart then get other half of kingsould use the love key in the love tower in the city of tears get all shade abilities so void vengeful spirit and howling wraiths then go beat the pantheons-||
yea I think its my 4th or 5th acc in many years but I never managed to finish it. But this time, I want to finish the game (I alr beat the hk)

okk ty and should I watch vids?? Tutos
tag ||thk|| too
||i would start with finding all charms if possible, maybe the other half of kingsoul. Try getting some more essence and get more stuff from the seer in resting grounds.||
Also make sure you mark stuff as spoilers
You can use || if you know how to type that
its bc I’m on phone and I don’t know how to use the app on it
I’ll js delete my msg
ok thank you
It's fun to figure it out yourself but if you feel the need then go ahead.
Yep the game is very fun without help, knowing my first playthrough
yea when I’m watching tutos it feels like I’m cheating so I don’t like
it ruins a bit
||HOW DO YOU BEAT MARKOTH IN ASCENDED???||
that's actually so real
Use ||Elegy + QS||.
Oh wait, ||ascended, not radiant||.
||not even radiant and bro's a pain||
||Nail arts and spells can help a lot too||
You can use ||MoP, SEater, Shaman and GSong||.
Thank you
and thank you too
oh and btw, I discovered the || white place or king palace (idk what’s his name in english) but when I use my dream weapon on the guard, a shield appears around him. But on yt vids, everyone instantly teleports to the actual palace. Any tips?? ||
||How much essence do you have?||
and is it possible to finish the game 112% on ps4??
||check with the seer in resting grounds, they may help||
It is lol, i did
idk, prob smth like 1050
I did it on ps4 myself
It's possible on any device
||i believe you need 1400 essence. Once you have it, check with the seer in resting grounds||
||Oh lord- go beat all dream bosses then go to the seer||
||this is my next objective, I’ll find all dream bosses||
||In theory you don't have to beat all of them to get what you need but it would be really good since you get another achievement by doing all of that then going to the seer.||
What’s better: doing all DLCs at the same time or 1 per 1??
Somewhat doesn't matter? But 1 by 1 may be better
The dlcs arent like specific things, theyre worked into the game mostly. Youll encounter them naturally
okok I rlly want to finish all the game
||some of the normal bosses have a dreamer version. I don't want to say too much, so i will say there are four dreamer bosses that you can find. ||
||An example being False Knight.||
I saw a vid and Ik where he is
Yep, just find ||"corpses" of bosses and you can dream nail them||
||If you say 4, I prob beat all of them alr!?||
Whod you beat?
||kind of? If you're able to, name every non- warrior dream boss you've beat||
And if you want, ||i'll tell which ones have dream versions||
||dream bosses are « ghosts » who arent aggressive at the beginning until you accept to fight with them, isnt it???||
||So, theres lost kin soul tyrant failed champion white defender||
||those would be warrior dreams||
Correct
No, those are ||warrior dreams||. ||Dream bosses are bosses you beat already that have a stronger version||
oh okk
||what charms do i use for soul tyrant ascended?||
||All fun and games until you need to do soul tyrant radiant-||
I've asked that myself many times.
My go to charm loadout for that would be ||Shaman, strength, quick slash, and then either nailmaster + steady or longnail i think||
LOL
I play mostly nail.
Coolio
If you wanna prep for ||radiant soul tyrant, then you can overcharm with MoP instead of longnail or Nailmasters and MoP, since youd be one shot on radiant anyway||
Very true
||So, mark of pride, unbreakable strength, nailmasters glory , quick slash, steady body and grubsong for the hell of it||
Is this setup ok for ||trial of the fool||?
Yeah that looks ok
||nail arts are more recomened over quickslash,but yes
also you could use like wielder grubsong over soul catcher but yeah this aint bad||
That looks great actually
erm why does your name say 112% if youre asking for help
i did it like a year ago but i forgor evr
but i play way better now
|| btw what’s the best comp I can do with my charms rn?? ||
what am i looking attt😭😭😭😭😭
I killed ||morgoth|| in less than 10 seconds just by ||spamming abyss shriek ||today xdd
||thorns is literally the worst charm in the game
jonis is a top bad charm||
😂’??
||ohhh no I’m not using this comp rn, its bc I used it to beat the prince zote||
||how many bindings do you need to complete to unlock the lifeblood core room?||
||I FINALLY KILLED RADIANCE now what should i do i did the fool thing so im kinda lost ||
||unlock? it shows on the door,count
its the first bigger thing
iirc its 8||
||godhome?||
Count the little orbs
oh okay thats what it was
How can i access this area ?
||do it again but in no hit||
||i didnt take any damage
..||
||do you have a simple key||
wow gg
nice crocs
French friends LETS GOOOO
lmao
nike socks are swag as well
You french too??
Why cant i see ||my achievements ?||
YESS
I'm french
maybe you pirated it?
||yes i do but i modded it and i can still see my achievements in cracked vers||
Before i modded it i could see it but now i cant
Lets gooo
dont pirate it:/
Dont have money :/
But its not the problem its when i installed mod
So now when i launch without mod i cant see my achievement too idk why
Can I ask you many questions in dms when I’m stuck bc my english is so bad. 
||I'm at the last few bosses in pantheon 5 before pure vessel and AR what charms should I use?||
||Hes ticklish. Go to the top of the room to find the source of it||
Uh ?
Why ?
Hey guys quick question I’m tryna kill the ||collector|| and I got the ||love key|| but the doors at the very bottom of the ||tower|| are closed, how do I open them?
|| double bars on both sides are needed for spoiler tags
Thanks
unfortunately I don't know the answer to your question, sorry about that
Okay
It's ||bardoon||
Found it
At|| kingdoms edge||
||if you grab crystal heart using lantern, you can use cdash to get into blue lake early and have access to lower resting grounds/east city easily||
||I found this massively helps because you can bring elegant key when you visit sanctum for the first time and just obliterate the soul twisters using shade soul||
is there anyone here who finished the game 112%??
I js need som1 to help me 😂
Just ask, ppl will help if u just ask what you want to ask in here
well its my first run and rn I’m a bit stuck so Idrk what to ask. So I thought it would be nice if som1 who finished the game alr could help me to tell me what to do next yk
Well just ask, if it’s early game then not only ppl who have finished the game can help, even someone one step ahead of you can help
Because this is a place free of spoilers it’s just based off how they help
I’m at 80/90% I think, and I discovered everything (except the secret ways I guess)
okk ty
I’m more of a experience helper in that I don’t tell ppl ‘you have to do this you have to do that’ I give options
And keep spoilers to a minimum so the experience is kept
I’m not rly asking for this but…
Others will give pointers like ‘you should do this because it’s a better option’ and will help u beat the game quicker and that also works
more like « you should get this first etc
So u want to know the rest of the %?
I can do that too
not rlly
in dms??
Bc I can read again your msg
Sure, I’m not rly an expert tho
well I can explain everything I need
its okk thats why I asked you if you want to go in pv you can take your time
Ask away anywhere, if u ask in here u might h get a faster and more accurate answer but if u want to recheck msgs in dms that is ok too
How to fight against the ||annoying bee things|| and annoying ||mosquito things ||in ||trial of the fool||?
Accurate as in ‘peer reviewed’ by other layers
Is it the ||flying section?||
I’m in holiday too tbh 😂 so thats why I want to read your msg again
Iccccc loool
That one and the earlier one with 3 platforms
For those I remember I saved up soul to ||fireball a bunch of them and just kill the others normally with nail or nail arts||
||I use great Slash ||
With ||3 platforms I just kill 1 or 2 with spell or nart and then camp for a good position and play peekaboo ||
ah
can you give advice based on my gameplay in general 2?
But if ur 112 shudnt u be done that?
yes but i forgor evr
?
Guys I’m almost through with my first playthrough and I got almost everything u can get, I wanted to ask which ||ending|| yall recommend for a first playthrough
||you can get all of them||
||you just respawn at your last bench||
if you want be to optimal for achievements i recommend ||beating the game rn||
Get the ||normal one first because that’s the only one u can get locked out of ||
||the only ending you can lock yourself out of is the "normal" ending||
yeah
Sry I went afk
in a save editor , how do i set my ||soul vessels|| to 0/non?
||how can i fight the collector ?||
||find love key in queen's gardens, then go to the rightmost part of city of tears, near the kingdoms edge entrance, use the key to open the tower of love||
Ask in #1057825333841240104 or #modding-discussion because there the people know better, just make sure to say it isnt related to mods
oh
how do i do spoiler messages
||like this|| -> ||like this||
alr ty
that's not an lowercase L or a capital I, it's a bad symbol, on keyboard I think it's shift + backslash and on my phone it's in the second special characters menu
where do i find the || radiance || and can i fight him after doing the || hollow knight ending ||
nvm u got it
Do you wanta hint on ||how to find the radiance or just the answer||
|| just the answer, i dont mind getting spoiled personally ||
||You can get more endings after getting an ending||
|| uh huh, so where do i find him? im guessing somewhere in the resting grounds ||
Send inventory
Screenshot
alr gimme a sec
There’s a charm that’s hard to get
And then you do a specific thing in a specific area with it
U also need another specific thing upgraded to a specific point
||in godhome||
That’s another version
??
Which one is that?
Oh yeah
|| dreamnail ||
I remembered
Hmm ur pretty far off
It's alot to spoil ru sure ?
U want everything
yh i already did the || classic ending ||
Get more charms first
yeah i dont mind
She’s a pretty hard boss
major spoilers!! ||go to ancient basin and open the previously locked door, search the new unlocked area until you find the dash upgrade, fight a boss in queens gardens and get the reward, get 1800 essence, visit the seer, dream nail the corpse in ancient basin outside of hidden stag, complete a bunch of parkour, equip the charm reward, go back to the ancient basin subarea, remember your past, and then beat the hollow knight again to fight radiance||
Well I think foxxer is writing the whole process down
Uhhh
I feel like giving tips would have been better
Oh ok it’s fine
they said they just wanted the answer 
It doesn’t spoil it too heavily so it’s fine
how do people figure this stuff out on their own 💔 😭
Some people explore a lot
hk players are a different breed
if you're devoted to figuring out the game you come across this kind of stuff eventually
But idk how they figure out what to do with the ||charm||
||I'm at greenpath, forgotten crossroads and fungals wastes, any suggestions with farming geode? I'm in dire need of em, lost em all and can't retrieve em really||
Spoiler tag first pls
|| the white lady gives tips ig ||
Put || on both sides
go to the || forgotten crossroads stag station, and go up then left to find the big guy, kill him then rest at the bench so he respawns, and do that over ||
sorry, didn't think it was worth spoiler tagging
makes sense
thank you
its a grind but its the best imo early game
But the room before ||hornet|| is pretty good at that point
|| are u talking about the kings brand door? ||
|| which boss in queens garden is it? im pretty sure i beat every boss there but js making sure ||
||Traitor lord and marmuu I believe||
|| One is blocked by a barrier ||
|| oh i beat marmuu but never found traitor lord ||
||it's a path unlocked after finding the dash upgrade||
||the big traitor mantis lord||
|| Which the tool to get thru is found in abyss ||
||ayoo i did the second trial of fools||
Nice
what to do next
i feel like I'm missing something idk
Well whats ur goal?
uhh to beat the game?
||nvm i got one pale ore and I'm on coiled nail||
so i gotta get the rest right?
how to get it?
||Well idk what u already got ||
Do u remember the other location
no...
Or i can directly tell u all the places if u don't mind heavy spoilers
i wouldn't want that i guess
Have u beaten || nosk ||
no where is that
|| deepnest ||
ohhh i remember
after getting the ending by || killing hollow kngiht can i still play or save just over ? ||
i gotta do that next
you can still play
He has one || pale ore ||
how to unlock the ||godhome mode||?
||You have to get to godhome on a normal file and beat the pantheon of hallownest||
||where is he (i hate deepnest)||
okay too hard for me
Uhh im not rlly good on navigation
|| It's behind a secret wall||
|| It's first 3 pantheons btw ||
|| behind a secret wall near the deepnest hot spring ||
i did the firts and i think that i did the second one but im not sure
Ahh u can get there with some practice
||is it dreamgatable||
|| the boss room? ||
or somewhere nearby
Yeah nearby is possible
idk i couldn't do it on ||deepnest|| for some reason
okie
next episode of suffering
||Basically go to the hot spring keep going left one or two rooms jump past the spikes and there's a breakable wall near there ||
Someone who knows the map better can prob give more proper details lol
how i can reset the damage on the debug mod, because I changed it accidentally
ok thaks
||- never dash away from him. You should generally not dash a lot but if you do, dash through him, not away from him.
- jump for every single attack to dodge it. For when he throws the daggers use shade dash to dash through it. For all other attacks use wings or pogo. You should even jump on the tall pillar attack from the ground as their hitboxes are much thinner at the top making it easier to dodge them.
- only heal on staggers and also only once except if you have charms helping with it
- don't use sharp shadow.
Is there anything more specific you need help with?||
Peak
after || getting hollow knight end can i do the ending whit void heart ? ||
yes
||you can do every ending in one save||
||and you can do every of them multiple times||

okay sorry
ty

wait there's still a message that contains that untagged
now its good?
yes

Mostly just ||the dagger attack hits me, then pushes me into a bad position for pillars or pushes me into another attack||
||always save your shade cloak for the daggers||
Yeah, I learned that the hard way
It’s really the main attack I struggle with
The others I can dodge like 90% of the time
the way i learned almost everything....
so it's the timing of the ||dash|| or what exactly makes you get hit now?
I usually just end up ||shade dashing through daggers into pv||
It’s the only one I ever struggled with really
The other attacks I could do just fine after my first attempt
So just skill issue
well I think it just needs a little more practice at this point 
Yeah
any tips for ||p3?||
please tag that
I’m volunteering rn not playing, but I’ll prolly beat ||p4|| later
Tag
sorry
||practice the bosses you struggle with. That's pretty much all the advice you can give for a whole pantheon. If there's a specific boss, or better, a specific attack you struggle with you can ask about that||
||the god... umm... the rider and the beast ||
|| focus on the beast and ddark ||
||its hard to heal there||
Yeah
||and the attack when he spits kills me when im trying or if i dont try to heal he just kills me||
||for god tamer you should pogo the beast pretty much the whole time. Whenever it attacks you should ddark. The only thing you need to look out for is the tamer jumping around but it doesn't do that very often and you can easily avoid it by moving or using wings.
You can heal when it spits the acid but that's not super easy and as I said you should mainly just pogo the whole time||
|| Pogo also is rlly useful ||
thx
||pogo the beast as much as possible and when you see the rider jump, dash away||
|| How do i lighten up an area? ||
You need a specific item you can buy later.
Avoid those for now.
|| Don't tell me i have to buy the lantern for like 1800 geo or i dont know how much that was ||
alr
yes
You do indeed.
There's no rush, there's plenty to explore without it.
Fairs, || I just wanted the map for crystal peaks cause its quite annoying to explore without one ||
but its not that hard you have these ||mini bosses that drop 45 geo and other mobs, and from bosses you will get a looot of geo and this area is for later||
alr
If you're in ||peaks then the map won't require the lantern.||
oh you only need a map
I'll just go back to ||that one area in crystal tears where u drop down to a sewer of some sort ||
||do you mean city of tears?||
yeah lol mb
i think he mean ||resting grounds||
got em mixed up cause we were talking about ||crystal peaks just a sec ago ||
oh never mind
So I'm better off going to the area i unlocked || with a simple key in city of tears ? ||
Yeah, that's a good direction. As long as you get your ||shade|| back first lol
Because I also || visitted like some statues but I'm not sure what they did ngl ||
|| I lost it? ||
||There's plenty to explore in peaks without the lantern too. I suggest doing that. There's important stuff to get.||
But you can go either way, whatever you feel like
Your soul meter was broken in that ss.
||do you have a strat which doesn't involve pogoing the beast btw
i'm doing radhog rn but my mouse is kinda broken and has an inconsistent delay so i can't pogo consistently||
Best way to play.
oh yeah it's fine, couple geo anyways, he can stay there till i die again
Best way to experience hk imo, just fuck around and find random interesting shit
true, although it can get confusing at times
"Ouuuuh shiny !"
I just end up right where i was 😂
That was how I got ||dream nail lol||
Somehow ran into ||Herrah|| also without looking at the map
Also, do use the ||extra markers iselda sells for noting down weird shit inaccessible rn||, that's pretty useful and I wish I'd have done that, ||I got most the movement unlocks and now I'm wandering around wondering what all I forgot||
i somehow found ||failed champ|| way earlier than expected and was wondering why the difficulty spiked so hard
was not a fun fight
Can someone help me with the ||hive knight|| Ive been stuck for at least 1, 5 hours but still can't beat him
||did you open the shortcut back to the arena?||
||one other strat ive seen is utilizing cyclone slash. basically when the mount is spitting infection, u just camp the top of the opposite wall to guarantee that none of the blobs hit u. then once the mount starts rolling, u can prepare to cyclone slash it after it lands. tho i would mention that i mainly seen this as an ab strat rather than in normal gameplay becuz pogoing usually results in a faster kill. heres an example vid of the strat (rayford's r5ab run): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6EBVwG0f1I&t=1511s||
Had to pause at 04:23, feel free to skip to 04:46
I somehow skipped the "1-hit" PB for this challenge, but I'll happily take this clear, given that this is the hardest challenge I've done in HK, as of writing out this description.
I took over 300 hours for this challenge (I've lost count past that amount), spread out over the course of ~5 mont...
do you mean the one with the ||mask shard||
And on the other side of that coin is me having reached ||hornet 2, 2 dreamers down, doing P1|| and I haven't beaten ||mantis lords yet||
I always die at the second phase when he ||spits out bees||
ye
show your equipment?
||huh, that actually works out really well for me cause I was trying to work my way up to p5ab after this anyways, so i'll give it a try later, thanks||
I have the ||coiled nail, quick focus, soul catcher, stalwart shell||
I do also have the ||shade cloak||
||i wanna see your spells and all your charms||
ok that's good to know
||do you use spells often?||
||you should try to but I don't want to tell you to learn them for this fight if you haven't before||
sometimes but now I usually keep soul for healing
||you can't really heal that often in this fight, you should only really be trying to when he's staggered||
||from your loadout it kind of looks like you're trying to tank most bosses||
I'll try ||shamman stone and soul eater||
||spells aren't great for damage against for hive knight alone, you should really be using quickslash all the time right now||
||i'd recommend either quick slash + steady body + shaman stone or quick slash + soul eater||
||if you have the down spell it gives you 0.4 seconds of invincibility once you hit the ground, it's really useful if you end up in a scenario where you can't dodge||
||focus on just jumping over most of his direct attacks and save your soul to down spell when you're in a hard spot||
||especially when he summons the bees or the spikes||
|| Worth buying the first 2? I know I won't be able to keep my money saved till 1800 for the lantern ||
|| Now that i think about it, wasn't there a bank?||
yes
up to you - ||I recommend only buying them if they'll complete a mask||
||the lantern isn't THAT important for your current stage||
sounds good
whoever just asked about ||p5 markoth||:
||you can either play it slowly using nail arts for phase 1 and spells for burst damage near the end or just come in with a ton of soul and delete him with spells||
||practice him on ascended in the hall of gods||
Thanks, I messed up with spoiler tags, so had to delete message asap
||this is a test||
||did you save zote btw?||
||he's next after markoth||
practice him too
Yep. ||Zote|| is not a problem in ||pantheon||, I noticed he's got a lot of opportunity for ||Descending dark||.
And yes, I already got ||PV and NKG radiant||
alr
if you have those down then you should be mostly good
that's the hardest part
do you know the ||failed champion|| cheese?
it lets you recover between ||markoth + gpz|| and ||nkg||
No, I don't. Unless...
Is it the ||pogo on armor to keep him down + dream nail chain||?
yeah
<@&283547423706447872> questionable profile and tag
for ||weathered mask||, do all ||bindings|| have to be activated at once or can you do them one by one?
||One by one works||
Tons and tons of practice. It personally took me about 200 hours
it took me like 3 minutes just for ||vengefly king||...
||that means u aren’t spamming spells enough, it should take about a minute and a half or even less if played adequately||
||are you able to shriek it? i was using shade soul and it was only hitting once||
||yea just go under one of them and shriek||
oh i'm in ||p1|| rn cuz i haven't done any with ||bindings|| so there's only one lol
but thanks
(it's super easy but it takes ages still)
i'm so unused to ||normal nail cooldown||
||oh it’s even easier in that case, it should take like less than a minute to kill p1ab vfk if u spam shade souls and shrieks whenever possible||
total or just for ||p5ab||?
bro ||dung defender THE GOAT||
||just p5ab. Basically the time I spent after I beat p1-p4ab, so that basically includes ab radhog, practicing in general, and actual attempts||
The ||best boss in the game||
||you can turn on bindings in hog?||
With a mod
oh that's a LOT worse than I thought it'd be...
I mean tbh 200 hrs is on the higher end for sure, I think the average is like 100-150 hrs if I had to guess
||use dive to knock him out of the ground||
that makes more sense
I heard it's like the same gap as starting -> ||p5||
and I currently have 150 or so on my main save
well on my two main saves cause I moved to steam later
Timewise that sounds about accurate, maybe the gap from ||p5|| to ||p5ab|| is a bit higher but it’s all subjective at the end of the day
I mean yeah cause the starting skill level also varies wildly
why cant i enter voice chat💔✌️
||did you get used to the bindings one by one and add one at a time or just throw them all on and start practicing hog or something?||
||I did weathered mask before doing anything ab||
alr ty
||after weathered mask I mean, like did you just go one binding at a time to all bindings or did you first put on nail + charms, then nail + charms + soul, then nail + charms + soul + shell or something like that?||
||after weathered mask I just went straight to p1ab||
oh ok
I don’t think doing ||bindings practice like that is too helpful for ab since even ab minus charms and ab is a huge difference. Maybe starting with charm binding first then continually adding on could work but I honestly think that’s just a waste of time||
is there a way to farm || essence? || need it to reach || radiance ||
||do all the dream warriors and dream bosses. you'll have way more than enough||
alr
||yo guys quick question the only requirements for the true ending is 1800 essence and the voidheart right?||
||the 3 dreamers||
i think so
what I have to do here?
||this damn boss bro it does so much damage barely giving me time to heal😭||
there's nothing there
is this you asking for advice or are you just venting?
||how can i find the dreamer ?||
||stand in front of it and wait for it to attack. Once it does hit it once, then dash away to dodge the attack||
||specifically for this one you can just jump above it if you want||
go further up
sure
||both whats the best charm setup for this boss||
which boss
||radiance||
can you show an image of the charms you have?
Ok wait
These are all my charms
||definitely focus on spells as well. I'd use shaman stone, strength, qslash, sbody/grubsong. You can also use catcher + grubsong instead of qslash||
Ok ill try that
||how come sbody is good for radiance? I know it is but I never realized why||
generally ||sideslashes are better than upslashes for radiance||
this mf
?
idk how to get past him
if you can't get past something just come back later
for newer players yeah
but now after some testing I def recommend ||sbody|| if you have some more experience
use spoiler tags btw
|| For radiance I like a full spell build: shaman stone, soul catcher, soul eater, and spell twister ||
It's a good beginner build I think
Yeah just like ||fury of the fallen||
||charms to beat p3(including zote)||
||shaman,strength,spell twist,quick||
oh ty
np
||can someone send me a map with all the pale ore locations||
srry if im asking for too much
do you need the gods and nightmares content pack to get 112%
Hi guys I’m new here any tips for radiance
yes, but it’s automatically installed
so do i need to buy it?
no, it’s automatically installed
welcome to indie games, things are high quality and affordable, and devs care about their players
do you have a map image
spoilers
also ||don't chase her during the platform phase, her attacks are easy to dodge from far away so just let her teleport near you||
||the heal windows are during the phase transition and the laser beams attack||
kk
|| do i absolutely have to do path of pain to reach radiance? ||
you get a special little cutscene at the end of it
and that's ir
it
and a journal entry
yes
||where can i find hornets only fa3s||
did i do something wrong
😔
search in youtube: hornets in nature
ermm ackushally
||if u don't talk to quireel he will just stay there so its avoidable||
🤓
maybe in silksong
||which boses have a dream version?||
||false knight = false champion
soul master = soul tyrant
dung defender = white defender
zote = grey prince zote
broken vessel = lost kin||
How could I beat the ||Grey prince zote second time||?
Because he's easy

||How to beat the rediance w/ 105% completion||
You have access to the fight and you want helping beating it, is that it?
Do you have ||all upgrades and charms?||
||9 masks, all charms, all 4 soul meters, sulubras blessing, and no money||
All ||charm notches|| too I'm guessing.
And hopefully you have ||unbreakable strength||?
||Don’t know how to get the howling wraiths upgrade||
Yes
||How many charm noches||
||Go the leftmost room in The Abyss and use wraiths there.||
11
And definitely do this before ||radiance. This spell will carry you.||
||Subjective. Some would say Trial Of The Fool. Some would say Pantheon 5. Depends on whether you're good at general combat, boss fights or platforming.||
Got it
I would suggest this build — ||Unbreakable Strength, Quick Slash, Shaman Stone, Spell Twister||
Ok
||Go in with full soul and use 4 abyss shrieks right away as she spawns. Use ddark whenever necessary to dodge the attacks. It lets you save your shade cloak. Use shriek a lot. It absolutely decimates her. Use ddark on the spikes on the floor and they will go into the floor for a few moments, giving you more room to dodge.||
||Heal when she collapses on the floor and is being grabbed by void. The platform phase is trickier. Dont chase her around, focus on dodging where you're standing and let her come near you before going in for attacking.||
Ok
Thanks for the help
also
||if you have any nail range charms, unequip them, you dont need them for this fight||
||as it is she already has a hitbox the size of like 900 failed champions||
it feels good that i still remember the whole ||nkg|| fight
it feels bad that i baerly can fight ||troupe master grimm|| xd
its fine, its jus practice and muscle memory ig
when he turns into ||GRIMM BALOOON BAAAL|| its imposible for me to dont die
i'd usually stay in the same spot and just dodge for ||grimm||
but i'd move back and forth when ||nkg|| does it
i know that you can just jump over these ||red balls|| or just ||shade dash|| it or even jump wih ||nail|| on him and deal tons of damage but i have too big skill issue
does anyone know if I need to credit the skin mod that I'm using if it's in a youtube video? Or should I go to #modding-discussion
yeh ig
i can still do ||absrad 1st phase|| hitless but fail the entire ||platform phase|| 
||what is absrad||?
endgame boss, do u want to be spoiled?
yes
||absolute radiance||
spoiler that please
oh okay
uhh I can barely make out anything, but spoil

||climb phase||
ohh
i almost did the whole thing hitless too
yeah its tough, try to lure out the ||beams and dash back into the platforms||
i know absolute ||radiance|| just didnt know the shorter name
ohh makes sense
I need to go to bed, just spent last few hours doing ||radiant PV spellless and with only compass lol||
i am "hollowknightNERD" i know every ||boss|| and ||enemy|| and almost every song/sound (like most other people here) but when it comes to fight them..... yees.....
this went to waste ig
wow...
nice, ur trying ||P5||?
is there a trigger for the ||shorter shockwave attack white defender does? i'm trying to beat him on radiant and i find that almost impossible to react to when i'm close||
Theres a very short grunt and he slams his arm down
i alr did that, i jus haven't played hk in a whole while
||shade dash the instant u see the arm||
prolly a month or smth
||i mean like something in the ai that makes him do it like if you slash him too many times in a row||
i'd instantly ||dash|| away the moment he moves his arm
if not then i guess i just gotta cope
nah
oh, I think its just when ur too close to him
is it?
i always thought its jus random
I mean he wouldnt do that super limited range attack if ur across the arena
oh dang ive been meaning to do ||ABs,|| keep putting it off
||p3ab|| is way harder than the previous 2
huge increase in difficulty
yeah, those mfs ||collector and GPZ are so stupid||
i can do ||3 bindings|| just let me keep my charms
fr
I mean without one shotting the ||spawns, collector is really easily overwhelming, ig ddark helps a lot||
im still not used to using ||ddark||, maybe thats why 
yeh
I'd use it when its not needed
but my mind ignores it when i need it the most
yeh?
ohh yikes, r u on steam?
is that even possible?
I dont think so unless something happened to the other games' saves as well
worst crash i had is i lost a few hours of progress but i didnt lose an entire save file
like corrupted or deleted?
just gone?? no trace is weird
so did his entire pc crash or just the game he was playing on?
like did HK just crash or did his pc shut down?
if it was just hk that shut down, thats really weird, but if his entire pc did it would be slightly more reasonable
good idea, make sure to put as many details as possible tho
gn
||Is there an achievement for killing nailsmith I forgor||
yes, with the exception of playstation
Can someone help me with ||trial of the fool? I keep dying at those fuckass soul twisters||
||nail arts two shot them or shaman stone spells also work well||
Ur goal is to kill then asap
||howd u get to resting grounds? Did u find an area but not find the map for it?||
||i went through the pink crystal land in the forgotten crossroads and did some parkour or something but i never found the map for it ||
||yeah they're my main strategies but I keep getting overwhelmed||
||u can re explore that area, or go to the bottom left of crossroads for a new area||
How’s ur charms and inv
||mainly running nailmaster's glory, quick focus, long nail, spell twister, and unbreakable strength. Idk what inv is||
Solid build how do u feel about replacing ||quick focus with shaman stone or find some way to put shaman stone in there||
