Nah jk its his ||dream version|| im having trouble with
okay so what u do is hit him a few times, and when he jumps go behind him by going under him
oh lol
I need help with ||failed champion||
itll work
No
mb mb
||failed champion||
Do you have || quick slash and steady body|| ?
Yes
yeah well its the same has the|| false knigth ||fight tho
I have all
use em
Okay
||Unbr strength quick slash and steady body||
Okay
mb
where is ||quick slash ?||
||Kingdoms edge||
On the way to ||oro's house|| theres a secret way somewhere on the path break it and you will find it
For|| failed champion|| you barely have to move, when he jumps just dash forward or backwards
yeah
Okay thanks but its the falling rocks that always get me
It’s like way behind ||oros house and the training dummy behind oros house||
For that just slash them at him
||what a good charm set for pantheon 1||
Okay thanks
|| Am I supposed to be going there just making sure cuz I’ve been trying the past 10 minutes 💔 ||
||the damn brooding mawlek keeps getting its annoying asf||
Slash the vines holding the platform
Now i have ||unbr strench quick slash steady body and quick focus what do i do for 1 notch left||
||grubsong for healing and spells maybe||
||quick focus does literally nothing in the fight||
Anyone
can i assume you have everything?
||When you dreamnail when hes tired and heal quicly||
It’s quick slash
||you can hit his armor to keep him down forever||
||quick slash, steady body, fragile/unbreakable strength, shaman stone, grubsong||
||quickslash spell twister shaman stone and mark of pride is what i used on pantheon 1 and 2||
||(you can replace steady body and grubsong with spell twister if you want||
this is basically the undisputed best build for most situations btw
||That’s mainly a spell build but for failed champion I just kept slashing||
lol
||you can literally just keep him downned in a loop forever with spells||
do you need ||soul eater|| for that?
Okay i beat him
Nice
Thanks for the help
gg
dont feel bad, it took me more than 20 to beat ||nkg||
any tips on fighting xero
nope
You could've asked for their inventory 
Kind of absurd question because ||howling wraiths|| is late/mid game
okay so ||his missiles arent that fast, walk past them iirc and only hit when he comes to you||. thats how i beat him, took a few trys
welp it’s good for ||xero||
You can get it when you get ||M Claw||
alr il do that
i have mantis claw
Spoilers guys 
yummy
got him
Gg
yea but idk how to get under to the dreamer
||they in a diff room i think||
gg
what happens after i kill ||xero||
or are you talking abt just finding them in general
i did tho joe_sad
Good job
You get a star
nothign really
you get ||essence||
yippie
I WANT A STAR
Spoiler this
Balls
This
And this
You get half a star
😢
@pine basin pro tip for the future, never ask for tips on a boss to whom you havent died atleast 10 times
whatever lol
someones salty
i have died more times to him
NUH UH
💀 well ill be damned
NO IM NOT
Not guilty as not charged
@sterile notch|| what does it take to lvl up my nail?||
||geo and pale ore||
||Pale ores, and some geos||
where is he located?
||city of tears||
u should look up a guide by relyea
alr
||Like to the bottom left or something of the city of tears||
you should not recommend people to look things up on youtube
the whole point of the channel is to provide targeted help without exposing them to more spoilers
and a youtube page will do just that
i mean he is literally asking where they are, mb tho
- Ew Relyea
- Don't tell people to use guides
WHATS WRONG WITH RELYEA
HES MY GOAT
He gives some of the worst information 
worked for me 😭
what's wrong with it?
he helped me when ||stupid banker stole geo from me||
I guess if anything he'd have some questionable advice for doing something difficult but also that's probably what worked for him
He helped me on literally everytime i got stuck bro legit
i found the ||blacksmith||
Using guides 
peak, now look for ||pale ores ||
Nice, what ||level is ur nail||
i mean my first playthrough was a blind one so ig it doesnt matter
how do i check that?
inventory
Inventory
better yet, don't try to seek out specific items because the game isn't designed in a way that lets you do that
just look for places you can go and the things you find will come naturally
it says ||sharpended nail||
||your nail is lvl 2||, means ||better thanthe old nail||
good news, im back into hk with a controller this time. bad news is i dont know what the fuck im supposed to do
1*
I think you need one ||pale ore to upgrade||
i assumed ||old nail is lvl 1||
alr and i have ||vengeful spirit, focus and desolate dive||
im at the ||colosseum of fools||
the convention is to start at 0
pretty packed i see
yessir
Oh hey controller player do you use weird inputs or defaults?
i have no idea where ||howling wraiths ||is but im pretty sure its in ||fog canyon|| and its good
literally first time using controller, my keyboard broke lmfao
Lmao I had the exact opposite issue yesterday, my controller broke and I had to fix it
will i be able to get it with my stuff
Yeah you prolly can
You can
rip, well im off to ||i think white palace||
||i have no clue if i should remap my controller||
Anyway, anyone got tips for ||POP||?
I put attack on my shoulder button because having it next to jump made me want to ragequit
My shoulder is dash
fair
will i be able to get ||mornach wings?||
rt is my dash, x for atk, a for jump and rb for spell casting
As far as things go to start learning to use a controller, that's a pretty difficult place thi
Yeah, do you know/need help with where it is
better than keyboard
yea i need help probably
or ig i can do the ||dreamer bosses||
Huh
Haven't unlocked it myself
Yea as in know or want us to tell ya?
Ah
Have you sent your map?
but honestly idk what to map em to
Salut
i want to know here il sent my map
Hello
I keep jump on the lower of the 4 circle buttons on the right, and left shoulder is attack
Spoiler it
Rather, delete this message and send as spoiler
it is
if it isn't spoiler it'll immediately get deleted
||You haven't found the area where wings is, also, I'd recommend getting stronger first, I got wings after having some more stuff||
The bot hasnt been set up yet no
Tags
alr
wait it's down?
More like removed
Mb
It shall come back though
remind me again why is the bot not back yet
||i have king's brand, i can head to white palace or ig fight uwu||
||Kings brand did you go to the place locked behind it?||
|| if you complete true ending and kill radiance can you continue on the same save and go back to the normal world? ||
Please tag or delete this message
Uh, reasons
Yes
yes
||which one (?)||
||Down below basin||
|| however if you kill hollow knight normally can u go back? ||
If ||you havent finished the game yet then i recommend you do the basic ending before getting anything else||
More to the left
||as i said endings never lock you||
Yah dw
I've done ||basin||
I did that yesterday
oh nice, i was really worried about that
There's an area there ||that you can now access that you couldn't before||
It'll warp you back to the bench you came from, it's kinda like in the latest Zelda games, I did the ending stuff and went back to exploring afterwards so dw
||pale lady?||
|| at this point i already have everything and just need to complete p4 and p5, do you recommend going for radiance or nah ||
||also im stuck in white palace lol||
Did you already go to ||white lady the tree one?||
yes
im omw to ||white palace for the other half||
You might be more ahead than me then lol
Yah I'm still not there yet working on ||essence||
im trying to set ||charms for white palace parkour||
||p5 so hard havent played for months bc of it||
i got the ||howling wraiths||
||i have hive blood, grub song, and 5 empty notches||
||maybe dash master and longer nail?||
You can go for ||things that give you hearts||
it's not gonna help lol
i have ||hive blood for heals||
||and grub song for soul||
||dashmaster might fuck up things if it increases speed and dash length||
Iirc things are made with ||normal dash length in mind||
||Longer nail|| stuff is def good
||cant decide between long or pride||
i could go both
Oh lol I don't have ||pride||
I'm too lazy to go back there
iirc
It stacks afaik
there are ||pale knights i have to fight||
it does
there is some ||black goo|| i can´t go through?
but too much nail length is also bad
no rn|| fog canyon and on my map one of the dreamers are very close||
Mbmb I'm dumb
np
Which area did you enter ||fog|| from?
Yeah, well… you can’t go through there
So
Better find some other path
||queens station||
|| can you kill radiance and then go for hollow knight again? ||
Yeah you can't cross that rn, there's other ways around tho so keep exploring
but how can i get through?
There's one item that you can get that locks you out of the base ending, but all endings should be accessible from one save file afaik
The ||black vertical goop barrier||?
yep
|| void heart? ||
Yup
alr thx
You can't rn
You'll be able to later, but there's ways around it for now
how do i get the ||shade cloak||?
Show your map
It's not an early game item, I got it after finishing the game, you don't need it to get the ||dreamers||
You need at least 2 more new areas to get it, and a good amount of bosses
who is that you mean the ||dreamers||?
Yeah my typod
where do you think i should go?
What's your inventory?
It's gonna depend on you but you can explore a lot of areas, go through all the ones you have unlocked rn cuz there's a lot you can do if you have ||city of tears unlocked||
There's parts in the previous areas that should be now accessible using ||claw|| and new bits from the new areas, look around see what you find etc
I would suggest not looking for objectives on the wiki and beelining straight for them, takes all the fun out of exploration
On a more specific note, my personal recommendation would be to find somewhere for that ||elegant key|| to fit, it's in ||city somewhere|| if you want a hint
sure
where are these last 2 ||charms|| i need? i want to get them out of the way before i do anything else
You seem to be missing ||Glowing Womb and Shape of Unn||
||Lake of Unn bench in Greenpath. Swim through the acid.||
||forgotten crossroads, greenpath||
||Glowing Womb is near the False Knight arena, explore a bit||
||Shape of Unn is after the Hornet fight||
does this do anything?
||it gives you soul||
She's just a silly billy with soul
|| It fills the soul gauge when resting at a bench ||
there's a mod which does it
You'd have to || remove the charm || if my memory is correct
Edit: I was wrong
you can't remove it
it's not a charm
My bad then, it's been a while and it shows 😅
|| i cant open a door near the beginning of watcher's spire ||
do i have to beat ||the hollow knight|| just to fight|| absolute radiance|| every time i die on it?
|| Right, a blessing. ||
As it has been said, some mods are designed for this (I don't know mods in general, sorry)
Or you could use a save editor and look to set the blessing to "false" but that's up to you and if you attempt it, copy your save beforehand as to not break anything
||there's a bunch of different levers in that room you have to open in series, head up and to the left and then down||

🔹 Ensure Discord’s spoiler tagging is used around spoilers (People, Places, and Things should be spoiler tagged!! if you are confused, please see the pins for what is allowed ).
We do this to be considerate of multiple conversations taking place. Two vertical bars on either side of text will tag it as a spoiler - ||This is a spoiler.|| > ||This is a spoiler.|| Alternatively, adding /spoiler at the start of a message will tag it.
🔹 If you have sent an untagged message, you must either edit it to include spoiler tags or delete it.
oww sorry
Since you cant edit images just delete it altogether
Fair, I just looked it up, not used to Discord enough yet
||Hey, I’ve completed all three trials and rescued Zote, but I still can’t fight him. Why?||
There should be an eye icon to click when you post a picture (when I looked it up)
Though I'm on phone and tried it for safe measure:
- Select your file
- Once on Discord click the miniature icon
- Cross the "Mark as spoiler" case
Beat ||colo 1 again||
Anyone got any tips on how to beat ||markoth in Pantheon 5||
||dash slash||
still not...
||use nail arts for phase 1 and shade souls for phase 2||
||don't bother trying to heal unless you're really far away during his shield spin (even still i recommend saving soul for shade souls so you can skip the hard part||
how do i beat ||absolute radiance ||
lock in 👍
there's not much for just ||absrad|| and not ||normal rad||
if you know how to fight her just keep practicing
I feel like ||nail arts take ages to charge up and they're kinda awkward to use on controller imo||
||consider using nailmaster's glory||
||also, if you're finding that the charge up time is far too long, then you're playing way too aggressively||
||markoth is by far the most passive fight in the game||
||I recommend using rt for attack on controller cause you don't need the finger for anything else||
||Rt is dash||
||you can use the i frames of dive to dodge the orbs, go for shriek after the outsword nails and laser attacks, in the second phase stay on the bottom middle 3 platforms and wait for her to come to you, for the final phase, pogo||
||being able to hold attack is far more important||
I'll try out ||nail masters glory|| tho
there's a ||dreamer|| stuck in a tube and idk how to get it out
||talk to quirrel, then dream nail it||
ohhhhhh I kept trying to use my soul attacks and my normal nail
dang I'm stupid
thanks
how to do it?
||the path leading to the grub starts in the room far below you||
I don't understand how...
somewhere here
ahhh thanks !
Anyone know wether u can hook up switch joycons to a computer
Cuz I wanna play modded
But switch can’t get any mods
Or custom skins
Ok
yes via bluetooth, go to add bluetooth devices and hold down the button next to the lights that indicate which player you are on the joycon
nvm i got it backwards
I got to this place in greenpath, I got to this platform using dash and pogo, but everything after this platform is all spikes
come back later when you get another ability
it will make sense when you get it
Lemme guess, ||dream nail||
Oh...
broooo does zote ever stop yapping, he has over 21 "precepices" 😭
||he has 57||
||and when you've listened to the last one it loops||
that's actually hilarious
also spoiler tags
Ts lowk tuff
that's just sigma, idk why the spoiler
Bc some random ass mf will say "omg spoiler"
oh it's something ingame
ok
it isn't
yes the knight canonically murders humans
It ain't😔😭
Fr dawg
oh ok
ok but how does this affect the global trout population
bro I got stuck on this game for so long because I barely missed the enterance to get ||crystal dash|| and the game is actually fun now
cause if you miss one tiny detail you will be softlocked for hours until you give up or check a very obscure location
well you see, after the knight is done with his massacre, there are less fishermen so it dramatically rises
yeah no more overfishing
ok but as a result facilities may become rundown and pollute the oceans
true, because of this, the trout genetically mutate and take over the earth
||"fish no more"||
my favorite is the one where your game gets softlocked until an ai detects that you backflipped using your camera
So cannon
||my favourite ending to hollow knight (resent because deleted for spoilers)||
@robust ridge I have a question
?
If I ever turned into a cat, would you pspspsps me
the answer you seek is found over there
Over where
embed failure
why doesn't it load
laugh at this user
no perms AHAHAHAHAH
i literally tested it
hollow point
Yeah that was my fav part personally was when u have to shoot every bug in the game to unlock the final boss
Anyone have a good charm build for ||pantheon 4||
||quick slash, strength, shaman stone, any good 2 notch charm (maybe spell twister, heart or sharpshadow for the final boss)||
i personally use ||steady body and grubsong||
those work as well
Thanks
||Steady body is good but can throw u off if ur not used to it||
is it possible to get back a deleted save ??
cuz like 1 or 2 month ago when tired after a lot of speedrun i supressed my main save
. . .
and making an other save does not feel the same as the very first one if I want to travel around the map
this is what google gave me https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2878788255
nvm I think this only works if you haven't already made a new save in the same slot
there is a mod to add more save slots if you want to stop this happening in the future though
you can rename the file to move it
like if it was slot 3 it would be user3.something
but you could just rename it to user4.something if that's mpty
you'll just have to go back to find it
though it might be permanently deleted by now
look for the gaps in the walls
Red= there's a fight of some sorts in that area
The blue ones are (I believe) I require another item to pass through
Yes I found those but I didn't mark them
try going to them
There are a lot of them in forgotten crossroads so I'll go there
do u want like to know where to go
||the red one you marked in crossroads isn't a fight btw||
i think you put the wrong color by accident
It's one of those big guys
Not a boss
But like he was blocking the road
isn't that the place where ||myla is||
oh you marked the wrong room
where u marked
that's the one above it
The mining bug?
no that's the room below
||leave it marked though||
yes
||there's a fragile floor there if you remember||
||so just switch it to blue and then move the red up||
||dash helps with those guys a lot||
||go in, get a hit, dash out before they hit you||
use spoiler tags btw
||Is it possible to reverse the banishment of the grimm? Or that i have to start an entirely new run to get the ending?||
this channel requires that u use discords spoiler tagging feature for all people, places, and things 🐈
||example 🐈 || --> ||turns into this 🐈||
Also wdym ||ending||
Also yes its irreversible
new run
you cant get all achievements of the game with 1 save file
Sorry

I wont even know, cuz nintendo decided that they dont support achievments
😥
wait
if its not about achievements
||why do u want to revert it?||
Cool boss fight
ah
you still get it later
In the ||god home?||
yes
you don't need to do ||NKG to unlock him there||
(thank god)
||banishing the troupe also unlocks nkg||
||But isnt it god hone different version of the fights?||
||godhome has all the boss fights from the game||
except one actually
Guees ill see then.
Thank you
2
Do u want the real answer or like a more mysterious answer?
go back to ||dirthmouth||
also spoiler tag it
well i think u can't spoiler tag now that you sent it actually
Yeah i dont think you can spoiler
Sorry just sent that to check if u could afterwards
you sent that to test? lol
😭 yes
Yes you did
go to him first
But damn that's one of the most difficult bosses
also you need to spoiler tag everything kinda
try it
put || on both sides
Oh okay
||like this?||
yes
just try the fight atleast once
then if u have problems on it ask for help
Any charms in specific I could use ?
uhh can you go to him first
then i tell!!
Okay okay
||you need to do a little quest thing before actually fighting him lol!!11||
I see
||Well at least I got something to do in HK cause I don't even know how to get to the 3rd vessel||
tell me all the places u found
are u missing ||3 shards or only one?||
||I'm dead. Why is the little thing that has the flame so annoying||
Uhmm... I'll just..uh.. here is my progress
ok
Right here
well that's not what i meant
but ||one of the shards will be avaliable once u go through all the areas in the game||
Uhm... Uh... I'm sorry
.. uhm.
FELLOW SWITCH USER
||what are shards again?||
nice
||the vessel shards||
that u were looking foe
for
||Mask shards\vessel shards||
||uh...I'm sorry. I meant dreamer, I'm dum I forget the names of ts||
||the third dreamer you can see him on tha map how do I get to him||
U can do in any order where
||there's 3 ways through fungal wastes||
Specify where
Fungal wastes? But where
I don't see a viablepath
can you send the map of it
Yeah
||I would advise beating mantis lords and going through the area that opens up||
what if he didn't do it yet 💔
Yeah I haven't done it
||Left from mantis lords||
Yeah, is there another path? Cause it's... A bit difficult
Just do it it’s the most straightforward path
just go through the other path then
you already went there
||the floor should fall||
||oh the line you marked here?||
||there's a secret breakable wall on that room||

How didn't I see it before!!!!
normal thing
That's the reason I put the marker!! The exact same reason!!
||breakable walls are difficult to see unless u paying attention||
||I went the other way😭😭 on the other red dot||
||But the marker was there because I needed the wings!! The blue markers for me are areas that I need a new ability||
||I guess I did? I am currently at the fungal core or smthing||
||is that the path?||
erm no
i mean
not the path i wanted you to find
but that's also a path to go there
Oh okay pkay
just keep going down
But why?
i didn't know u had ||wings||
Oh I sent you the photo of my abilities for that kind of questions
which now that im thinking its stupid
yeah you sent that photo and you already did ||lurien or whatever his name is||
can someone explain ||absrad last phase||
i know you just ||pogo||
but i can't do it
80% of my hits are to that phase
The idea of doing that is to bait the orbs of screen. Are you getting hit by the orbs or falling
I wish I could help more just focus on hitting them two at three times and stay off screen
||Anyone have tips on how to beat radiance? I’ve tried a bunch but she’s impossible lol||
||you shouldn't be pogoing at all 
And if you do (which you shouldn't) you should be pogoing as high as possible||
please use spoiler tags in this game ||like this||
what do you struggle with?
Oh sorry!
||i struggle mostly with like all the projectiles and stuff. I also don’t really know the best way to deal damage to her cause she teleports a lot so really just basic advice||
can you please edit your previous message as well?
||does anyone have tips for pure vessel ive been stuck on it for a while||
Spoiler tag
||regarding the projectiles:
- orbs: Dash or walk in their direction under them. Never jump over them unless they are directly above the ground and you can't go under.
- sword walls: Walk away from them while jumping and dashing through the holes/through them with shadow dash one by one
- sword rain: don't attack but focus fully on dodging and position yourself in between the swords||
Wanna go in DMS? Ion wanna spoiler tag everything
sure sure
generally try to stay in this channel if it isn't super necessary. That's to make sure the spoiler rules still apply. Nothing's stopping you but just for the future that's usually what's best
||you can usually just deal damage after every attack||
make sure to use ||spells|| as well
Thank you! ||last battle the ground turned all voidy so I think I did enough damage for another phase or something, any specific types of attacks though? Like spells over nail or vice versa?||
||you need nail for spells. Spells deal a lot of damage though. Best is a mix of both. Make sure you only use spells when right after a burst attack. So when she spawns swords or beams in a ring around her face||
||ok!!! Thank you so much! Also sorry for all the spoiler slip ups, only learned it was a thing rn lol!!!||
Yeah it's really late, didn't feel like tagging
that's the case for 90% of new people here. Dw
I'll still be careful
||radiant absrad|| is absolutely kicking my ass
i expected this but wow
like 10+ hours of attempts and it still feels like i'm dying to the same stuff
im like 1.5 hrs in and i've died 6 times while she was less than 5 hits from death
On whom may I ask?
I'm curious
||radabsrad||
Tongtwister ahh
that's a normal amount of time for it
She is an indecently hard boss for first timers after all
what is that
probably ||beam burst||
it comes out way faster than any other "move a bit to get out of the way" attack
yeah whatever you wanna call that
I've never fought her, but isn't she like ||shriek spammanle||
not really on ||hitless||
yeah pretty much
for less experienced players at least
i know but ||the actual spacing of the lasers is completely random so that barely helps||
Oh ||hitless???||
||well once you dodge the first one you mostly know where the rest will strike||
||attuned is free atp||
how do you actually know that
other than they don't hit the same place twice
i never have an issue with it but i don't get it
||sort of but also like "once you dodge the first one" is the problem here||
||mostly that. Once you dodge the first one you just move to where that struck to dodge the second and same for the third||
||if you see her face light up and get ready for it that shouldn't be a big problem||
||can you consistently dodge the sword burst by shrieking on her face as she does it?||
i've done it a few times
seems like a good way to get a ton of damage
||it just is for me||
it is consistent but too difficult
well you just need to practice more then 
maybe i just need to put in more attempts
i thought i was doing something wrong but is it just inconsistent
||i don't think practice is fixing something i'm like physically incapable of reacting to||
||because it's different every time||
Any tips on ||oblobbles||? The kill my ||p5|| runs basically instantly
||i hate the rng in this fight so much||
it's fully consistent if you have a lot of experience with the fight and are good at it. I wouldn't recommend it for you
trust me you get better and will eventually be able to dodge that as well 
||try "zoning them"
use cyclone slash to farm soul and push them back and shade soul multihits for damage
you can kind of just corner them if you space these out properly in which case it's pretty easy to dodge||
no i mean the fight in general
cause i don't see any one thing i'm doing wrong but i still haven't beaten it
well, no. The fight isn't inconsistent
Got it
or far more likely i just get lucky enough
you can send a video and I can tell you what ur doing wrong if you want
Btw how does ||cyclone|| work? I'm so confused
ok
i might need to kill the quality though
my recordings take up like infinite space
||just like any other nailart. Just that you can extend its duration by mashing attack after releasing it||
yes just compress it
Oh
That's how it works
||you also fast fall when doing it without spamming (well not fast fall but you keep accelerating), but you slow fall if you're spamming||
either way works. What I'm saying is I highly doubt you'll forever be unable to dodge it. It just takes time
It's so sad when there's no newer players to help
Only the insane-o style players left
uh im lagging pretty badly while im recording
||i never die to that phase normally btw it's just the lag||
||like this was literally my 2nd time ever dying to it on my attempts||
this many attempts gave me a lot of progress on every other attack in the game but i'm still stuck here
so idk
lemme see if i can get a full ||attuned|| fight
ya. Everything before that was pretty good. For ||orbs don't dash away but under/through them. Other than that I'd have to see more attempts.
Maybe try recording on a lower framerate/resolution. Not sure but maybe that makes it better||
that's normal
I struggled with that one as well for a long time
||that was mostly because the spikes forced me into a weird place||
||usually i dash under them||
or i do a weird thing where i pair them up
well as long as you dodge it ig
wait wrong one
bruh i just got a really good recording
cause it showed what happens when i'm forced to play more passively too
and it was hitless until the last phase
but it was recording discord and not hollow knight

||did you pogo on the last phase?||
oh
do this instead
||https://youtu.be/NuF9iIqP8wo?si=wtu9f2yzVelTse23||
many discord recordings later
||so for the first hit on plats: Don't immediately rush to her platform unless ur gonna ddark and react to her attack right afterwards. If ur not able to do that consistently, don't so aggressively.
For climb you wanna stay in a specific rhythm like shown in this video:||
||i was trying to ddark during the plats hit but the lag caused the input to delay too much||
but noted
||strength, shaman, qslash, soul eater||
i think i do do that too much
||pogoing isn't actually a bad strat||
||actually I think I could've gotten hit during the ddark startup anyways||
||i nohit last phase on my ascended run first try doing it||
it is
that doesn't prove anything
you can beat bosses ||thorns only||. That doesn't make it a good strat
i cannot conceive of how it would be worse than what you're doing there
The argument "this is good because I used it and it works" keeps appearing in this channel. The strat is objectively inconsistent if you aren't very good at it which you aren't if ur struggling with ||radiant absrad||
||you are vulnerable a lot||
||you are offscreen the majority of the time if you're doing it right||
the majority, yes
||you are also vulnerable the entire time you're on screen||
no
you can jump
||if you don't pogo in the right rhythm, high enough and know exactly when to dash, pogo and jump and when not to do it, the pogo strat is inconsistent. The only reason good players use it is because 1. they are good enough that they can do it consistently no matter how difficult and it literally doesn't matter and 2. if they are doing modded bosses because there it can actually be good||
what does?
your strat
this?
the video
it's literally jumping 
But you can do it the way you want. It's objectively more consistent tho 
@shut sparrow i tried to work in your advice, can you look at these two attempts
||i got cooked by climb in the first one cause it was my first time trying to hold a rhythm||
hold on compressing these is taking ages
and microspacing
if anything pogoing is
bruh one of them was another discord recording

the other one is now 102 mb after compression
you can use a website that lets you set it as low as you want
also wtf are you recording
do like 30fps
480p or smth
in the one that i recorded discord i ended up taking a hit because ||she sent 3 sword walls at me while i was near the edge with spikes on the side i was standing on||
what should i do there?
||I had to dash to the middle before the 3rd wall but it still caught up to me before i could fit through||
||use ddark to get rid of the spikes||
also listen to the sound cue of ||sword wall to react earlier||
||i thought the walls were too close to me for ddark||
||like i'd get hit if i ever stopped walking||
probably should've done that i guess
oh I get what u mean. In that case react to them earlier. In that scenario there's not a lot you can do
it's hard for me to give the exact strat if I can't see it tho
well you can get a nice recording of #hk-help with epic music in the background if you want
||not sure if the hit in the last phase was because of wings delay or normal input delay because of the lag||
it definitely looks like ||wings|| was possible there
||for first phase you definitely wanna use ddark more to get rid of the spike floor. Either way tho you did fine. For plats it was great except for when you moved to her plat again. Instead of trying to dash through the beam wall or, if it hadn't been there, dodging the attack normally, just always get used to diving as soon as you see her doing an attack. In this case that would've dodged the wall as well. For climb you just need more practice in that. If you need to move a bit to dodge a beam, which is normal and exactly what the strat is for, don't somehow try to make it to the next one as well. Just move a bit, land on the same platform again and then try again in the same rhythm. It's ok and normal to do jumps that just lead into nothing if you land on the same plat again. Don't always try to get a climb. You did a good job at waiting for the rhythm if you lost it tho.
Also (i feel like this is obvious but) don't ever walljump in climb||
||oh i see what you mean with the ddark in platforms phase, i think i'm too hardwired to shade cloak the walls
also i never realized how aggressively I was trying to force climbs until you pointed that out lol, I know not to wall jump but I think I was like blinded by the urge to climb||
||not really the walls. She teleports above spikes and you are below her. You can just ddark instead of moving out of the way. That way you can dodge the attacks easier and deal more damage||
I mean playing ||climb|| quickly is pretty normal but it's not very consistent so playing it safer is better
||another thing i would like to point out (just for consistency sake) is that if u see a beam wall coming when plats is transitioning to climb, u should always ddark it if u have the soul. this is cuz if u try to shade dash through the beam wall, a beam could be spawning at the exact moment the beam wall is passing through, leaving u with no time to react to the beam if its in a bad spot. in this case u were fine, but notice that if the beam at 2:03 was more to the left u wouldve gotten hit with no time to react. and u can actually see that the beam was already spawning in at around 2:02 but u can barely see the telegraph due to the beam wall being so bright||
yeah that's good advice as well
also if you have soul ||shriek at the start of final||
||i'll keep that in mind, i've never had issues before with a laser sniping me while i'm dodging a beam wall so I assumed they were just coded to not start for a bit or something||
||yes the lasers dont start until a few seconds after plats has ended but the beam wall is slow enough that the beams can start spawning as u r dodging the beam wall. if u imagine that the beam in the image (pulled from ur vid at 2:03) spawned more to the left like whats shown in red, u wouldve been hit almost immediately after dodging the beam wall and double jumping back to the platform||
yeah i get what you mean
oh i almost just did it hitless
except i ||ddarked into the void by accident at one point||
maybe you should do ||radiant|| attempts again 
gonna do a bit more practice with the later half first
||guys how do you get thru soul sanctim||
is it too difficult or are you lost/don't know how to proceed?
||ascended 1 hit to the orb bug :(||
what bug?
lingering hitbox
not sure if that's a bug or just how they're programmed but ya that's annoying
i have one simple key that i have no idea the use for, do you get an extra one or do all of them get used
||I FELL INTO THE VOID WHEN SHE WAS ON 3 HITS
||
im getting really consistent though
I DID IT
@shut sparrow
got blessed with an optimal cycles ||plat phase||
like she got 3 attacks off
the last phase was so scuffed
should've recorded it
holy shit GG!!

do you know what ur gonna do next?
Ggs! and I assume that’s ||radhog|| as well? Or u got any more?
||gpz|| lmao
one more
see above
that's gonna be a lot easier
||after radhog I'm prob gonna do p5 charm binding then start working on the ab pantheons||
I suck at him though
good luck with that! 
Cause I didn't have him in my first playthrough
eh you learn his fight pretty quickly
can't be that hard to learn
he seems more menacing that he truly is
yeah ok
the one thing I don't really understand is the ||nail flail||
I always end on falling on him when he falls over
||if you wanna be really safe just camp on a wall. You don't miss out on too much damage and you can even just ddark to get down in the end and even deal damage that way. Otherwise just don't pogo for too long and ddark early to be safe. I recommend just using the wall tho||
||when he falls through the round just stand still and ddark to dodge his fall from the sky||
yeah that's what I do
I thought I was weird for doing it like that lol
is there a bonus for the ||pantheon bindings|| and if so what is it
||there's a piece of lore for doing every single one (you can do them one by one though)||
okie dokie thanks
Um guys.. quick question ||if I defeat the hollow knight can I continue the game itself? Like doing 100 percent completion or does the game end?||
Yes u can keep playing
yep, you respawn at you last bench
Like if I beat him I just respawn at my last bench?
||I recommend beating it as soon as it's available if you're achievement hunting||
Yeah
||you unlock lifeblood at each bench on the last pantheon if you do enough of them. It's pretty helpful||
Oh okay thanks
Though I think it auto sets the bench to a specific one
||wait is it not in the other pantheons too||
I swear it is
did not think of just camping it out though thanks
other than that I think I pretty much have it down
If you're impatient like me, you can also safely ||pogo him, just slightly lower than normal, even without reach charms||
But you'll also have to watch out for his ||stagger||
that's what I mean
the change in height messes up my timing
oh nvm I get what you mean
I have a bit of input delay rn so I can't ||pogo|| too precisely
Btw I also mentioned these ||gpz|| tips here: #hk-help message
oh thanks
I think its a glitch but Idk what happened.
I've seen this once before but never learned the cause. Have you ever used mods? I would try inputting it into the save analyzer and scanning through the percentage points section
I looked into it a bit, did you do ||grimm troupe|| stuff today?
Apparently it can dupe ||nkg and banishment||
It's a rare bug but it's been recorded
||go check the place where the tent is||
Spoiler tags
Also the latter part doesn't matter
Last time I checked the only one I saw was the one with the worm lady I think
Here is the analyzer:
||https://reznormichael.github.io/hollow-knight-completion-check/||
Instructions are on the site.
The main% tab might reveal what's going on
Could it be that ||Devine Duplicated a Charm||?
I think I figured it out
What's up?
So it was this bug
Ig
Well I am satisfied I thionk i know why now but its kind of funny and anyone that sees this is just gonna wonder.
How 1% changed the entire game.
random question im used to playing on console and i recently bought hollow knight for pc and remapped the controls and its not letting me buy items and im not sure why does anyone have any ideas
||are you sure you are pressing the same button as you are using for jump?||
yes ive tried both the attack and jump buttons and neither worked it works in the pause menu but even for charms it wont work i might just have to switch controllers
||it doesn't have to be attack or jump. On switch for example it is normally "a" which is neither attack, nor jump. You can try using the focus button||
could be an enable steam input angle
||Is there a bench anywhere closer to the hornet fight in kingdom edge cuz why do I have travel through the whole area to get here 😭 getting fkd by the freaking aspid||
||right after you jump up the ledge to get there you can go to the left and follow the bench sign||
||it's there JUST for hornet||
||Wdym to the left it’s a blocked path and the sign is like broken||
||go in the exact direction the sign points in||
there is a way
||Are we talking about the same sign?||
oh oops didn't realize it points in that direction lol
Look closely
Anything seem out of place?
lol I did it
Thx 😊
I|| thought it looked out of place the first time and thought there was going to be like a secret portal didn’t try to hit it lol ||
lol
if something looks out of place in this game it usually is
or you could just ||instinctively try to break every wall||...
I’m so proud of myself whenever my instincts are right but most the time I just look like a psycho lol
how do yall farm geo for ||unbreakable charms?||
Depends on your upgrades.
ive beaten everything im trying to do ||the pantheon||
||Watcher Knights Bench||
elaborate
pls elaborate
what is ||overcharmed?||
||When your charm slots are nearly full and you keep trying to equip a charm that costs more than the remaining notches, you get overcharmed.
You basically get extra notches but you take double damage from all sources.||
Is this with ||coiled nail or the 4th upgrade?||
I have the former, can I still one shot these fellows?
Equip the charms in the order that I have equipped. When you get to ||Soul Eater||, you won't have enough notches for it. Keep trying to equip it anyway and it will overcharm.
Idk cuz I've never used ||strength|| that much
Yeah, you'll need the ||final nail upgrade to one shot some of the enemies.||
||Grub hunt time then ggs||
This is for endgame farm. You can do ||colo 2 or hoppers farm instead until you get it.||
||OverCharming is when you use a Charm that requires alot of Charm notches that you don't have
If you keep trying to equip the charm even tho you don't have enough Charm notches you will OverCharm
OverCharming basically makes any attack deal double the damage to you||
The last sentence makes it sound like it doubles your damage output.
Instead, it makes you take double damage from any source in the game.
i also need to get my geo back from ||the banker i stored a bunch in there||
thattl leave me at like 5k
Oh yeah
Mb
Let me change it rq
What's Some easy ||dream bosses for essence? I'm at 600 wanna get to 1800. I got gorb and marmu, other than that idt I've done much dreams stuff except roots||
||soul tyrant, lost kin, white defender are the easiest 3 i heard||
All the ||dream warriors|| are pretty easy.
but ||failed champion has a cheese that makes it super easy||
There are ||dream warriors|| and ||dream bosses||. The latter generally being much harder.
I was actually ||doing the top row for soul before watcher fights cuz I didn't know you can just dream nail tbe dormant knights||
It's recommended to do all of the ||dream fights anyway.||
It's fine I'll try to figure it out myself 1st
Alright
HEY WHERED SHE GO
