[robust ridge]

attacks rarely overlap in that phase

||stay on one side and jump out and then double jump over the orbs||

[shut brook]

Yea and i also take damage by going a big risky sometimes

[robust ridge]

sneak in hits when she's next to you

[robust ridge]

don't do that

patience is key

[shut brook]

K

[topaz nacelle]

|| guys i found this purple area in city of tears, do i need to unlock some sort of double jump to get up from that big room? ||

[robust ridge]

here's a demonstration of what i mean

[robust ridge]

||technically yes but you can pogo a background object to get up there as well
I don't recommend it for a first run though||

[shut brook]

||is he talking abt watchers spires||

[robust ridge]

yeah

[topaz nacelle]

|| dang. I just beat the dung defender so am i ready to go up there yet or heck no ||

[shut brook]

||u could but not recommended||

[robust ridge]

||you will probably get destroyed||

you could try though

[shut brook]

||get d dark first and just spam d dark to destroy the boss up there (the watcher knights)||

[topaz nacelle]

|| no i mean like how much do i have to progress 😭 ||

[robust ridge]

well it depends on how far you've progressed already

[topaz nacelle]

|| whats ddark||

[shut brook]

||not much just monarch wings to get up there without skips but the watcher knights are pretty hard for first time ||

[robust ridge]

don't drop unnecessary spoilers

[shut brook]

|| descending dark which is the upgrade to descending dive||

[shut brook]

K

[topaz nacelle]

|| do i have to go down in that pit next to royal waterways||

[topaz nacelle]

Ahh i see

[robust ridge]

||1) you don't even know if he's gotten to the area with it
2) you don't even know if he has dive||

in this case it seems like he did but don't do that in general

[topaz nacelle]

|| i have dive ||

[shut brook]

Got it

[robust ridge]

||what movement abilities do you have?||

[topaz nacelle]

|| cloak, dive, claw. Thats it i think 😭. I have around 12 charms tho||

[shut brook]

|| what charms?||

[robust ridge]

||oh I see

in that case, I recommend marking the pit and coming back later||

[topaz nacelle]

||Cant remember all, i can check rn tho||

[simple island]

Yeah, exploring ||waterways, and the right side of city|| is useful, but isn’t the path forward for you rn

[topaz nacelle]

|| am i not ready yet. I’ve pretty much explored everytthing and cant find anything nee😭. I beat that crystal guy last tho||

[topaz nacelle]

||where do i go then? ||

[simple island]

Did you get anything from that area ?

[shut brook]

Get ||crystal dash||

[topaz nacelle]

No 😭

[robust ridge]

head back

[topaz nacelle]

Its locked

[simple island]

You should be suspicious of an area in which you get nothing

So get back there and figure it out

[topaz nacelle]

|| but i explored the entire area||

[robust ridge]

||you have to take a bit of a detour around the gate||

[shut brook]

Just keep exploring and evetually u will find it

[topaz nacelle]

Okay. Do i need to go for anything else?

[shut brook]

|| d dark is also in crystal peaks||

[robust ridge]

not if you didn't get anything very notable

you can see unexplored room transitions on your map

[topaz nacelle]

Okayy thx guys

[topaz nacelle]

I just got ||crystal dash||, now what 😭

[shut brook]

||do u got dream nail||?

[topaz nacelle]

|| whats that ||

[robust ridge]

||the pit is an option now||

[shut brook]

Nvm jsut get to ||d dark first imo||

[topaz nacelle]

|| ahh, then i got the wings there right? ||

[topaz nacelle]

Okok

[shut brook]

|| the pit to d dark?||

[robust ridge]

the pit he fonud earlier

[shut brook]

Oh

[robust ridge]

just check it out if you want

not gonna spoil what's there

[topaz nacelle]

Okay

[robust ridge]

btw in general keep in mind the tip that ||every major area has at least one very important item||

||some aren't always accessible immediately but most are||

[topaz nacelle]

Okayy

[strong geode]

^ anything on this?

[robust ridge]

nope

they're not required for anything though

are you ||dashing|| as soon as they start to lift up

[strong geode]

yeah

[strong geode]

||oh the guide im using says i have to go yhrough them||

||to get descending dark||

[robust ridge]

no

pretty sure it's just a ||grub and a geo chest||

maybe not even a ||grub||

you just gotta go all the way around from below

[half hornet]

guys u want a jumpscare?

||primal aspids||

[half hornet]

why are u using a guide?

u shudve gone in blind

i havent used a single tutorial yet

[robust ridge]

let people play how they want

[half hornet]

and still have 112%

[robust ridge]

if he wants to use a guide he can

[half hornet]

yea but its way more fun when ur exploring on ur own

im jus giving him some advice to enjoy the game and not spoil it for himself

[thick wing]

hi chat

[half hornet]

hi

[robust ridge]

it's possible and pretty likely he's just cleaning up the area on a backtrack

[half hornet]

yea tru that

if thats the case

its absolutely fine

[strong geode]

i struggle with metroidvanias lol i'm just playing for the combat and story

[half hornet]

JUMPSCARE (||primal aspid||, open with care...)

[half hornet]

ohh

thats fine

[strong geode]

actually maybe not all metroidvanias i beat metroid dread without a guide

[half hornet]

i play for the exploration and bosses

[strong geode]

but anyways ||the mashers i mean are the REALLY quick ones you come near aftee crystal heart if that narrows it down||

[half hornet]

yea theyre pretty easy

all u have to is press dash

thats it

if u have ||shadae dash||

[strong geode]

||that's the mothwing cloak right||

||i have it yeah||

[coarse nest]

Scary

[half hornet]

frfr

[half hornet]

yea

[fringe wing]

||iused like 3 tutorials in my time playing the game, one for path of pain one for the last 3 grubs because I had collectors map and still didn’t know how to get them, and one to find d dark||

[thick wing]

spoiler|| path of pain and ddark||

[robust ridge]

use spoilers

[half hornet]

i used one for i think only thehm..

wait

what did i use one for

[robust ridge]

and like the entire rest of the sentence

[half hornet]

i know i used one

[half hornet]

frfr

WIAT

[thick wing]

oh shit

[half hornet]

I USED ONE FOR THE LAST ||TRIAL IN COLLO||

[thick wing]

@fringe wing spoiler the names in your message

[fringe wing]

Oh so

Shit

[fringe wing]

How do you do that again

[thick wing]

lmao i continue on mistiming the|| dash back on double slash on oro and mato||

[fringe wing]

I forgot

[coarse nest]

Double lines

||

On both sides of the message

[fringe wing]

Ok

[coarse nest]

|| like this ||

[fringe wing]

I did it

[robust ridge]

you can jump instead

are you doing ||radiant||?

[thick wing]

yessir

[robust ridge]

want to see how i did it

i think my strat works pretty well

[thick wing]

i already saw your strat

[robust ridge]

got it from genio

for ||oro mato||?

i've never sent it

[thick wing]

||all bindings radiant ||

[robust ridge]

oh you're doing ||radiant all bindings oro mato||?

that sounds pretty painful

[thick wing]

nah

i js took some snippets

here and there

applying them in a normal run

[robust ridge]

oh

ok

[thick wing]

i js need to work on timing that's it ig

[strong geode]

||is dung defender's charm worth it||

[robust ridge]

are you ||shrieking them when there's only one alive||?

[strong geode]

||i feel like it doesn't work||

[robust ridge]

kinda sucks

actually correction

severely sucks

[thick wing]

mhm

and some ||ddarks ||in the middle of the two

and i got sniped mid air lmao

[thick wing]

for the meme

this is actually pretty fun ngl

[half hornet]

hi mleb

[thick wing]

hi knife ducky

uh

how is ||p4 ||doing

beat it yet?

[primal ibex]

Hello oblobbles hater

Hello ducky

[strong geode]

||wait do i need the lumafly lantern to get descending dark||

||i didn't buy it because i'm broke as hell because i die all the time||

[robust ridge]

you don't need it but there is a ||dark room with platforming and crystal hunters||

[strong geode]

||i have no idea where to go do get ddark because my guide says to go througg the mashers but apparently those arent necessary||

[primal ibex]

Explore right

[strong geode]

||i am but nothing is working||

[simple island]

You need the ||lantern||
And you really don’t need to follow a guide for basic navigation through an area, that is probably gonna confuse you more than help

It’s to the right of the area, just look at your map, you should see the missing transition

[strong geode]

||aw man||

[robust ridge]

just ||head right from the entrance without going up||

[strong geode]

||i don't have any map upgrades😭😭 i wanted to get the little thing which shows my location but i'm always too broke when i reach dirtmouth||

[robust ridge]

you should probably get those...

especially the ||quill|| if you haven't

[strong geode]

||also i don't know my way to tje stagway||

[robust ridge]

there's no ||stag|| in that area

[strong geode]

||i mean like to the thing i came from in forgotten vrossorads||

[robust ridge]

oh

uh

idk how to help you with that

[simple island]

You can’t be so broke as to never had 120 geo to buy ||compass||

[robust ridge]

wait can you even leave ||peaks|| without ||lantern|| besides the ||dirtmouth tunnel||

excluding that one goofy "skip"

[simple island]

The ||stag you can’t go using the same path you took to get in, you need to go above near where cornifer|| was

[robust ridge]

how?

[simple island]

No you can’t

[strong geode]

||i'm fried😑 ||

[robust ridge]

oh

[simple island]

Yes you can’t

[robust ridge]

i see

[simple island]

Nah dw dw

[robust ridge]

that's actually really nice game design

forces you to get ||cdash||

[strong geode]

||also unrelated i just realised i can gas out the impenetrable enemies with dung defender charm||

||I FOUBD MY WAY BACK TO FORGOTTEN CROSSORADS||

[simple island]

GG, now go buy that ||compass|| if you are skill issuing at navigation

[robust ridge]

||spells also kill them||

[strong geode]

||do i just kill the big guy who uses a horn to slam alot for money||

||getting to 1800 is gonna SUCK||

[gloomy gorge]

i finally have ||over 2400 essence, and i went to the resting grounds and the person there didnt rlly give me any useful info.. im rlly stuck on where i need to go||

[simple island]

The best way is to ||sell some relic at lemm||
Just ||sell them when you have enough and spend the geo immediately ||

[strong geode]

||OH YEAH I FOTGOT ABOUT LEMM||

[simple island]

Yeah that is only for lore
What else have you done ? Could you share a screenshot of your inventory/charm inventory ?

[strong geode]

||i'll go to dirtmouth and get on the stagway||

||THE COMPASS IS A CHARM??||

||the journey to lemm will be my last journey with dung defender💔💔💔||

[simple island]

Head to ||queens garden||

Generally clear the map of any transition you have yet to explore

[gloomy gorge]

||by the grave thingy? im assuming thats where i need to go||

[robust ridge]

just keep practicing honestly

using the tips we gave earlier

there's no easy way around it

wait to clarify do you have ||9 notches or 11 notches but you have to use 2 for grimmchild||

when you said you have 9

oh cool

||strength + quickslash + steady body + nailmaster's glory||

you did have every useful charm right

[thick wing]

spoiler the name

[robust ridge]

||when he does a dash into uppercut it does more damage than just getting 1 nail swing||

also ||steady|| is great for damage during the ||bats||

[tacit sonnet]

guys i need some help

[robust ridge]

not sure what ||longnail would really do||

[robust ridge]

?

[tacit sonnet]

i need help for the ||hollow knights||

what about this

[thick wing]

huh

[tacit sonnet]

so how i deal with thelm

[robust ridge]

just spam ||dive||

this happened to me yesterday lol

enemy rando

[tacit sonnet]

i cant i have limited soul

[robust ridge]

had to fight ||pv + thk|| at once instead of ||watchers||

[tacit sonnet]

and ||shaman stone cost 5 notches||

its 5 here

oh and i dont have.. ||focus||

||jonis or hiveblood||

??

[robust ridge]

tbf they only had ||watcher knight|| hp

but also i didn't have ||dash||

ngl it wasn't that bad

I just spammed ||dive|| and used ||thk|| to tank instead of getting hit by ||pv||

the ||soul daggers|| were stupid though

there's like no good way to dodge them itemless

good luck

[tacit sonnet]

so what do i do in this position

[thick wing]

spoiler

[robust ridge]

||shade dash through him||

not back

[bronze kettle]

Where do I go next?

[tacit sonnet]

||but there was the 2nd hollow knight||

[robust ridge]

||maybe find some places to use your keys in the city||

[tacit sonnet]

||bc i can only use 1 spell once my thing is full||

[thick wing]

(||spell ||needs to be spoiled)

[robust ridge]

also ||nkg|| can't go backwards besides the ||bats||?

wdym

[bronze kettle]

I've heard to save it for something else, I think somewhere in ||Fog Canyon||

[tacit sonnet]

its a spoiler tho

[robust ridge]

no locks there

||it's the single best key use in the game||

in ||city||

[bronze kettle]

Something related to ||Queen's Garden wherever it is||

[bronze kettle]

Okay

[robust ridge]

nah that's something else

[robust ridge]

i should probably clarify ||don't use it on a background door, there's 2 simple locks in that area||

or just look around ||city|| in general tbh

[bronze kettle]

I think I found it at the beggining and it was going below, I think

[coarse nest]

yes but i d ont post it

[dull echo]

sure

question

oh nvm

welcome

[gloomy gorge]

||i got the sealed siblings ending, which is the second one ive gotten so far, i dont know exactly how many endings there are, but i think one of them involves the dream nail? but any hints on where to go now?||

[robust ridge]

||dream nail the hollow knight when hornet restrains it||

[gloomy gorge]

||so i have to fight him again? 😭 oh well, hes a lot easier from when i first fough him ig||

[stiff hedge]

where should i go to process further?

[primal ibex]

||There’s two more endings in the post-game that are much harder, and a secret post-credits cutscene||

[primal ibex]

Left

[stiff hedge]

thanks!

[gloomy gorge]

also, my laptop isnt rlly a gaming laptop, but it never rlly effects gameplay when i turn the visuals down, but on cutscenes it lags a lot and its js a mild inconvenience that i dont rlly know how to fix, if solvable at all 💔

[primal ibex]

I don’t think that can be fixed

What computer do u use?

[gloomy gorge]

its some windows product, im not like 100% sure the name but its a bit old and has only 4 G's of ram.. im hoping some time soon ill be able to get a better one but it probably is js my laptop and not the game itself :/

[scenic egret]

very small nitpick but ||multiple endings is a spoiler||

[stoic bison]

Hey quick question does the long nail stack with the mantis nail charm?

Thanks!

[scenic egret]

please spoiler tag your message ||like this||

[primal ibex]

Ok thx fixed it

[stoic bison]

Oh sorry like ||spoiler||?

Cool didn’t know how to do that

[scenic egret]

✔️

[primal ibex]

How do you do that without the spoiler effect

[scenic egret]

\ before the ||

[primal ibex]

Ok

[stoic bison]

Also I have been getting my ass kicked bad by the ||second soul warrior boss, the one you unlock with the key|| any advice? Just move on? lol

[scenic egret]

||target the spawns, and use your soul(obtained by the spawns) to hit the boss with spells||

[robust ridge]

||if you can't one shot the spawns you might want to come back later||

[formal dust]

||huh I remember it being really easy||

[primal ibex]

It can be a bit tricky

[stoic bison]

Yeah currently ||it takes 2 hits to kill them, and then the warrior guy always slaps me before I can take them out quickly||

[primal ibex]

Do you have the ||spell from sanctum||

[stoic bison]

The ||ground slam thing, yes||

[primal ibex]

Use it a lot

[robust ridge]

can you show your charms btw

[stoic bison]

How can I spoiler mark an image?

[gloomy gorge]

so any tips on beating ||the radiance? im assuming ill have to fight the hollow knight everytime to get to them too.. ||

[robust ridge]

send your inventory and charms

[formal dust]

||holy I did not have this many charms at that point||

[robust ridge]

||what nail do you have?||

[stoic bison]

I have been exploring a lot 🤣

[formal dust]

your ||notches|| are a bit lacking though

[stoic bison]

Only ||upgraded one time||

[robust ridge]

are you able to get more rn?

i'm guessing not

[formal dust]

||use shaman stone, spell twister and longnail/soul catcher and spam the spells you have||

[robust ridge]

hold on lemme check some numbers

[formal dust]

this should work well

regardless of your ||nail level||

[scenic egret]

i would recommend ||shaman stone, spell twister, grubsong, and spore shroom/steady body||

[robust ridge]

oh wait

i found a huge interaction

[formal dust]

I think ||longnail and soul catcher are more value than two 1 notch charms||

[robust ridge]

||fragile strength will make you one shot the ghosts||

[formal dust]

||ok but if he dies...||

[solid heart]

What ||ghosts?||

[robust ridge]

||soul warrior follies||

[scenic egret]

||soul warrior2||

[robust ridge]

people call them that sometimes

[solid heart]

Yeah

[solid heart]

You're the snail

[robust ridge]

what am i the snail

yay

[solid heart]

Both at the same time

[scenic egret]

fuck

[solid heart]

Honestly, it is a risk worth taking

[scenic egret]

i said a different thing

[stoic bison]

Will try this

[scenic egret]

||folly!=soul warrior||

[solid heart]

||One shotting ads really flips a fight upside down||

[wind bluff]

I called them ||bubbles||

[robust ridge]

try ||shaman stone, steady body, and fragile strength||

[solid heart]

Don't back down. You started it

[robust ridge]

you'll only have one shot with ||fragile strength|| but it's a game changer

by making you ||one shot the summons||

[stoic bison]

Will do a quick practice run with the first setup and then switch to that if I fail

[robust ridge]

try my setup with nothing in the last 3 notches

||your spells all one shot the spawns||

[scenic egret]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/651522665320022036/1353412755788660908/SPOILER_picmix.com_12516666.gif

[stoic bison]

Gonna try real quick

[robust ridge]

yeah do a few practice runs

you can ||repair it for 250 geo||

but that's annoying and expensive

[scenic egret]

wow free money from mr beast

[scenic egret]

||switch out defenders crest and sharp shadown for spell twister and grubsong. sharp shadow is completely useless on the fight||

[robust ridge]

^

exactly what i was gonna say

[gloomy gorge]

ok

[scenic egret]

what is this 🛶 shenanigans that is occuring

[robust ridge]

cars are fast

anti snail

[scenic egret]

interesting

🐇 🐰

[robust ridge]

a fast animal would be more fitting

true

[stoic bison]

Ayyeeee got him with the first ||spell||setup!

Thanks a lot

[robust ridge]

i have a feeling you'll like that reward if you liked the setup

[robust ridge]

||spell|| should be spoilered btw

[stoic bison]

Damn really? lol

Did it haha

[static axle]

nice to see hk help filled with nice people

[lament needle]

||how can i enter in Queen garden im stuck here ? ||

[static axle]

you come in from other side

you cant do much here

[lament needle]

||by fog canyon? ||

[robust ridge]

it's one way- ||you open the door from queen's gardens||

[formal dust]

||upgrade howling wraiths. if you want I'll tell you how||

[robust ridge]

oh yeah do that

also sorry i got distracted and forgot to help

[robust ridge]

||don't try to heal randomly, only during her beam burst attack (it never hits the same place twice in a row) and during the phase changes (including at the end of the platforms phase, as she is super inaccurate at the start of the climb)

ddark can break the spikes on the ground

during the platforms phase, stay in the middle and wait for her to teleport to you, rather than chasing her down||

[gloomy gorge]

yea, it seems like a rlly hard boss so itd be good to know :)

[formal dust]

||go to the abyss floor then go left, use wraiths at the place with the screaming statues||

[gloomy gorge]

ohhhhh ok

[bronze kettle]

Do I have only one item/skill left (||cloak||)?

[hoary anvil]

depends on what you mean, but probably no

[jagged wing]

Does dying in the || dream world end a steel soul run ||

[hoary anvil]

unless you just mean ||movement skills||

[hoary anvil]

no* *unless it's ||white palace or radiance||

[livid shoal]

Poke change your PFP to Catbrown

[bronze kettle]

Yeah I mean that I'll be able to start 100%ing the game after that

[livid shoal]

[dull echo]

someone help me get past this section 😭

[hollow bramble]

watch a guide

[jade sedge]

Please add spoiler tags to your message

[dawn tangle]

sor

[hot nacelle]

||how to beat grimm|| 😭😭

[robust ridge]

what do you have

items and charms wise

[hot nacelle]

|| pure nail, quick slash, spell twister, steady body, stalwart shell, and grimmchild to fight him. I also have every single nail art unlocked and all of my spells are upgraded ||

[robust ridge]

nice charm build for the most part but i'd switch out ||stalwart shell||

[hot nacelle]

for what charm?

[robust ridge]

do you have ||unbreakable strength||?

[hot nacelle]

yes

but i dont have enough notches

[robust ridge]

imo ||spell twister + stalwart shell -> strength + nailmaster's glory||

||spells|| aren't too useful for the most part in this fight

the good opportunities you have are really just when he does the ||pufferfish||

[hot nacelle]

I also use them for when hes ||throwing dragons|| or whatever it is.. i just use ||shade soul||

[robust ridge]

not worth it, just ||dash up to him and get 3 nail hits||

[hot nacelle]

I use ||spells|| a lot, and I only ever hit to gain soul to use ||spells||

[robust ridge]

or sorry i should say ||double jump over to him||

[hot nacelle]

i take too much damage 😓

[robust ridge]

spoiler tag ||spells||

[robust ridge]

just ||double jump|| over the ||bats||

make sure you react quickly

the first one comes out fast

[hot nacelle]

alright I'll try, thank you for the help :>

[robust ridge]

also ||don't heal outside of the spikes attack and his stagger||

you'll just get hit

try to go back to the middle of the arena after each attack

[hot nacelle]

okie dokie

[robust ridge]

||for his uppercut, dash through him and walk back to where he is for a hit (the fireballs will miss you if you're next to him)

for his dive and sweep across the ground thing, just jump and pogo him

for fire bats, just double jump

spikes are just a reaction test||

[robust ridge]

you can also try doing a funny and bring ||shape of unn|| to heal by ||crawling under his bats||

i recommend learning it normally though

[hot nacelle]

alrighty tysm

[hot nacelle]

im streaming in gen 3 if u wanna see me fight him

[robust ridge]

can't sorry

[hot nacelle]

alright I'll let yk if I got it

[analog raven]

Someone help please, I|| just got to crystal peak and I’m walking in loops, If I go up I get back to the start and if I go left I can only find a big hole that takes me somewhere else,|| I don’t want spoilers just a general direction of where should I go

[robust ridge]

use spoiler tags

[analog raven]

Ok srry

[robust ridge]

wdym by ||if you go up you get back to the start||

that shouldn't be the case

[left cedar]

Hey guys I’m trying to beat ||the traitor lord|| any tips for ||charm builds or strats||

[robust ridge]

what do you have

[analog raven]

I just find a grub and can only go right

[scenic egret]

||jump over their attacks inside of shade cloaking through. they can only do an attack up to 2 times in a row, so you can use that to predict whats coming next.||

[robust ridge]

send a picture of your map if possible?

[analog raven]

I haven’t found the map selling guy yet

[robust ridge]

ok first of all ||spell builds aren't the best for this fight in general, but keep shaman stone on since you can spam him with spells while he's spawning in the ceiling||

[left cedar]

I also have ||max soul and 8 masks||

[austere viper]

||Hiya, I am wondering if Mark of Pride and Longnail increase the size of nail arts? Cause I am trying to attempt pantheons, and don't know if these things apply to nail arts, which I've noticed are pretty useful there||

[left cedar]

Spoiler

And also I haven’t found much of a difference

[scenic egret]

spoiler tags please, also they do not

[left cedar]

I figured that

[austere viper]

Okie thanks

[robust ridge]

||use steady body, strength, and uhh maybe like longnail (or just skip steady body for mark of pride)||

[robust ridge]

that's weird

[left cedar]

Alright, thanks

[robust ridge]

have you tried just going up

like all the way up

[drowsy yarrow]

[rough peak]

Mb

[dull echo]

[rough peak]

Use ||Hiveblood|| and ||Sharp shadow||

That area is just that

[dull echo]

wth will ||sharp shadow do||

[rough peak]

PAIN

[dull echo]

well hiveblood i'm too lazy to go get it

[rough peak]

It increases your ||Dash distance||

It will help a lot

Go get it first

I did it with ||hiveblood||

[dull echo]

i do have ||deep focus||and ||grubsong||

[dull echo]

this is whats making me suffer 😭

[rough peak]

Oh

[dull echo]

sometimes i just dash into the spikes if i'm not far enough

nah tysm tho

[rough peak]

It was easier for me with SS

[dull echo]

ill look for a guide for this section

[rough peak]

On mobile HK is just harder in general

[dull echo]

lol ikr

such an achievment beating PoP on mobile bro

i'm too far to quit

[rough peak]

I'm stuck on ||P3||

[dull echo]

i should keep pushing till the end

[dull echo]

||hornet 2||?

[rough peak]

Do you know what's at the end or no?

Yes

[dull echo]

||sly||

he's kinda hard tho

[rough peak]

I mean in ||PoP||

[dull echo]

ohhhhh

[rough peak]

I can beat ||Sly||

[dull echo]

nvm ncm

ik

iits a cutscene

its*

[rough peak]

It was such a waste of time for a ||THREE SECOND CUTSCENE||

[dull echo]

not just a cutscene i believe but its still worth all of this

[rough peak]

It's only a ||cutscene||

[narrow solstice]

It’s a flex having completed it though

[rough peak]

Fr tho

[dull echo]

thats what i'm sayin

[narrow solstice]

Like you can say you’ve done it then

[rough peak]

Hear me out. ||112% on Steel soul||

THATS the biggest flex

[dull echo]

cant argue with that

[narrow solstice]

I did ||100% on steel soul|| just for the achievement but yeah lmao

[dull echo]

but there are alot of parts late game where dying wont end your SS run

[dull echo]

thats still something lol

[rough peak]

[dull echo]

and ofc getting every achievment in the game

[narrow solstice]

Yeah it’s so great that ||dying in dream battles|| doesn’t count

[rough peak]

Fr

[dull echo]

ikrr

[rough peak]

||NKG|| would've been a run ender

[dull echo]

absolutely

you can still just abuse the forbidden strat

the almighty quit game

its used in everything basically

[narrow solstice]

I think I died on the ||failed champion|| fight but then it didn’t count and I was really happy lmao

[rough peak]

If I die by THAT BITCH ||UUMUU|| I WILL FLING MY CONTROLLER OUT OF MY WINDOW

[narrow solstice]

tell me about it

Lost 2 steel soul runs to that thing

[rough peak]

I've died to her 134 times (not joking)

[narrow solstice]

In the end I just learned the steel soul any% route lmao so I could just get back to where I was really quickly

[dull echo]

||Uumuu|| might be annoying but the pantheon version is arguably the worst shit stain to ever exist

[rough peak]

THATS WHERE IM DYING

[narrow solstice]

And then so I could get ||speed completion|| aswell

[dull echo]

me with ||lost kin before||

[rough peak]

||Lost Kin|| is fun ngl

[dull echo]

literally 200+ attempts and still crying my ass off

[narrow solstice]

Nah when you get a chain reaction of like 3 ||explody guys|| it’s easy

[rough peak]

Want help?

[dull echo]

[rough peak]

How do I aim at her

[rough peak]

Idk I'm on PS4 😭

[stiff hedge]

😭

[narrow solstice]

I’d guess it’s like “resetting” in a way to the centre of your screen

Idk

[rough peak]

Just unplug your mouse

When playing with a controller

[stiff hedge]

reddit time

[rough peak]

Fr

[narrow solstice]

I’m not a computer guy says the straight A student in computer science back in high school

Idk I forgor everything

[rough peak]

I'm THE tech guy at school

Even teachers ask me for help lol ✌️

[narrow solstice]

Ps plus

Mb I didn't see u tagger him 😭

Tagged*

[narrow solstice]

Lmao

[rough peak]

Btw what build do u recommend for ||Sly||

[narrow solstice]

I have no clue I just winged it

[rough peak]

I use ||Strength, Quick slash, MoP, Nailmasters glory, steady body||

Is that good

[rough peak]

Respect

[narrow solstice]

yeah honestly I see no problem with that

[rough peak]

WHY IS ||HORNET SENTINEL|| HARDER THAN HIM 😭

[narrow solstice]

Although I don’t really use ||steady body||

[rough peak]

||(Hornet 2)||

[narrow solstice]

literally lmao

Well here’s a simple rhyme for it

[rough peak]

I use it cuz there aren't any good 1 notch charms

Except Nailmasters glory

[narrow solstice]

||when she throws her nail, healing never fails|| I have no clue I made this up on the spot

[narrow solstice]

Use compass

Jk

[rough peak]

I started typing an essay untill I saw jk 😭

[narrow solstice]

w-

[rough peak]

What time is it for u btw

[narrow solstice]

Lmao why

[rough peak]

For me is 12 am on the dot

Just curious

[narrow solstice]

It’s 10pm

[rough peak]

Still banging my head on my desk cuz of ||Hornet||

I'll try again.

[narrow solstice]

Remember the rhyme! The rhyme!!

[rough peak]

I CAN BEAT HER IN ||HoG|| BUT NOT IN ||P3|| 😭

[narrow solstice]

Moral of the story is ||only heal when she throws her nail||

[rough peak]

What If she's staggered ? 🤨

Jk

Mb

I'll go try her again

[hollow bramble]

lock in believe in urself if u can beat her there u can beat her here

[dull echo]

me when i remember that i become what i tell myself:

[strong geode]

||does anybody know how to beat the stalking devouts||

[dull echo]

sure

just face them, wait for them to like get ready to attack, get one hit and dash away and repeat

[craggy furnace]

any tips for the second ||colloseum?||

[hollow bramble]

||does getting true ending lock u out of normal one||

i mean if u got it first before the other one

[craggy furnace]

[pearl knot]

[strong geode]

||how do i get a tram pass||

[dull echo]

[hollow bramble]

||upper left of deepnest||

[craggy furnace]

i didnt ||save cloth will that affect my 112%||

[stoic cedar]

no

[wet kraken]

I’m trying ||all bindings pantheons||

Any tips

[stoic cedar]

||nail arts and spells are very useful in all bindings, so make sure to try and get familiar with them if u havent been using them that often. u also want to adopt consistent but relatively high dps strategies in order to get through the fights faster. dont play too passively or else the fights will drag on forever and ull probably die anyways since the fights were going on for so long. but u also dont want to play too aggressively since ull also probably die||

[wet kraken]

Alright, thanks

“Any charm builds?”

My worst ||charmless boss is mossy||

[stoic cedar]

||ab mmc is actually really chill. u can just stunlock it in its charging attack by continually swinging ur nail and shade soul||

[wet kraken]

I know, I just have bad timing

I’ve tried

No ||MoP|| is messing with me

Only on ||mossy||

||mossy|| is dead now

[quaint lily]

||anyone remember where the sly key is lowk forgot where it was||

[hollow bramble]

[quaint lily]

||no the one that unlocks his basement||

[hollow bramble]

||peaks||

[quaint lily]

💔

[sour vigil]

I cried on that episode

[quaint lily]

worst place in the entire game

[sour vigil]

I forgot😭

[hollow bramble]

nah a deeper darker place is worse

[dull echo]

ngl it was sad as hell

[dull echo]

dw bro we always do at some point

[quaint lily]

||im asking cause im doing a play through to get stuff i didnt on my first run (slime nailmaster slime zote slime the whole troupe)||

[dull echo]

ah yes

[quaint lily]

yeah can’t be leaving empty achievement slots now can we

[dull echo]

Never

[serene onyx]

so I Reset my Pc and Reinstalled Hk I still and my Cloud save and stuff but for some reason when I tried to make a new file ||My steel soul and God home Game modes werent there|| is that normal? Cuz I already Unlocked them before hand

is that only when you reset your pc or just in general uninstall Hk

[simple island]

yeah that is normal

[simple island]

basically some things are files (like your saves)
some things are kept by steam (like steam achivements)
and some things are kept... elsewhere, that includes ||steel soul and godseeker|| and I think in game achievs

if you change PC you will also loose those unlocks

but since you presumably have an already completed file, you just need to beat the game again

[dim flame]

can anybody give me tips on ||absolute radiance||??? i die within like 30 secs

[serene onyx]

Yea I did it was weird also i still haver my steam achivs

[simple island]

steam but maybe not ingame ?

[serene onyx]

oh i can check in game ina few

[simple island]

first off spoiler tags, second off... well... the first thing to do is to give the boss some like 50 death
the speed is just brutal and you need to adapt, ||probably focus on playing defensively at first, like focus on dodging, and maybe figure out when you can heal||

(practice her in the ||hall of gods|| in case you weren't doing that for some reason)

[dim flame]

my bad i forgot abt the tags,,, and okok somebody else just told me to try there too and i had no idea you could go there without beating it first so im gonna have to try tomorrow again when i hop on,,, thank you!!

im over here doing the whole thing and just practicing when i encounter her at the end 😭

[serene onyx]

i got my ingame achives still

[keen sable]

I’m really struggling with the hallow knight. I’m not even getting close. Does anyone have tips?

[fringe lark]

Can we have screenshots of your inventory and charms? Make sure to spoiler the images

[hollow bramble]

spoiler ur first msg too

[keen sable]

How do I not show spoilers

On my message

[fringe lark]

/ spoiler before or put two of the vertical lines before and after message. For example: || No spoilers here||

[keen sable]

How do I do spoiler free photo

[languid radish]

No tag imgspoiler found.

[hollow bramble]

there shud be an eye icon

[keen sable]

||any thoughts for the hollow knight?||

[fringe lark]

||Well u don’t need compass||

||And I would use longnail instead so u can use shaman stone||

Honestly just practice tho it gets easier the further u get in the fight

Go up and around

Also spoiler

[solid heart]

If you're ||gonna be running quick focus you should probably drop lifeblood heart, as these don't combine very well. You could use that for Longnail or twister, or as Markus said, Longnail and swap mark of pride for shaman||

Also ||compass again, is completely unnecessary||

You could actually just ||swap compass and heart for shaman||

And yeah, go up and around, but spoiler this

[hollow bramble]

||heart of shaman|| goes crazy

[true urchin]

WDYM UP AND AROUND?

[hollow bramble]

find another way in via upwards

[true urchin]

This up on top of the door?

[solid heart]

I didn't typo

Go up, on the general map

[true urchin]

Also blocked

[solid heart]

There is a pathway

[true urchin]

Bridge lookin

[keen sable]

||you’re my goat. With those couple switches I just beat the game and got that ending. I’m sure I’ll have more questions when I go on trying to get 112||

[true urchin]

Alright so that bridge path thing is shut

So i can't cross over?

[mortal vine]

@solid heart you finally did r5?

So i guess I'll just hack n slash till I find out :/

Did you find a way or not ?

Basically the game forces you to move forward in the area, you will eventually find a way out dw

[rough peak]

Can anyone give tips for ||god tamer|| 😭

[olive mulch]

!Spoiler

[rough peak]

Oh yeah thanks

[olive mulch]

||dont bother with the knight,as the fight will end once you have killed the beast||

[rough peak]

Ik

Its just hard 😭

I get cooked the first 20 seconds

[still copper]

||Does Shaman Stone increase the damage of Sharp Shadow, since Sharp Shadow is called a spell in its description||?

[rough peak]

Idk

I don't think so

[still copper]

Ok thanks

[rough peak]

Np

[shut sparrow]

||pretty much pogo the beast the entire time. The only thing you need to look out for is the tamer jumping around but that's easily avoidable just by moving or dashing. Use dive a lot as well||

[rough peak]

Thanks:>

[south mortar]

|| is long nail better than mark of pride ||

[shut sparrow]

please use spoiler tags in this channel ||like this||

[jade sedge]

||No, MoP is generally a lot better||

[shut sparrow]

|| While longnail objectively gives less additional length per charm notch, so is "objectively" worse, I still think it is better overall. It fits way better into builds and allows you to use it without sacrificing a very good 3 notch charm. Which are usually much, much better than mop. Either way neither mark of pride, nor long nail are charms you'd ideally be going for but that's of course up to you||

[thick wing]

|| Peace be upon you. Is there a way to revive Mossy Vagabond? I have one trophy left to get the Platinum Hollow Knight. Please help me. I don’t want to replay the game. I’m mentally and physically exhausted.😔 ||
