[robust ridge]

that's why i recommended ||shaman and spell twister||

use ||shade souls|| for all the ||flying enemies||

[craggy furnace]

alr

[robust ridge]

did i not bring that up earlier

if so mb

that's kind of the entire point of the build so that'd be a blunder

[craggy furnace]

mb just not used to the build doing better rn

[robust ridge]

you forgor

[urban forge]

I did

[tired patio]

any tips for ||etarnel ordeal||

[robust ridge]

stay in a corner

or near one at least

[tired patio]

can you just tell me do i need || 53 to get main menu theme ||

[tired patio]

ok thanks

[robust ridge]

57

[tired patio]

o ok

thanks

[tired patio]

just onother question what is the most efective way to deal with the || hanging zotes||

[jolly hamlet]

how many times does ||hornet 2 need to be staggered ||before dying

or rather how much hp she has

[jolly hamlet]

probably just pogo

thats what i did

[solid heart]

She has ||700hp and staggers every 13 hits of any kind||

[jolly hamlet]

thanks

[dawn belfry]

||I thought hearh the beast would be a boss fight it isnt?||

[robust ridge]

||none of the dreamers are||

it's intentionally misleading if that makes sense

[lime sinew]

What the best build for ||beat the radiance(this photo is old)||

[robust ridge]

||heart + soul catcher -> quickslash + grubsong||

[lime sinew]

Ty

[dawn belfry]

Yea I got terrified I didn't want sit there for hours but it was nothing lol

[coarse nest]

I got to the top of ||P1, and then promptly died to brothers||

There's something very nice about||parrying the attacks of nailmasters||
Feels like you've accomplished something

[robust ridge]

||fyi they alternate taking turns to attack if you're not between them||

[sinful vortex]

agh

[sinful vortex]

||wait tf there’s parrying?||

what

[coarse nest]

Yeah if you ||time your hits right you can parry nail hits||

[sinful vortex]

ah

ohh

like

[coarse nest]

There's a distinct sound for it

[sinful vortex]

when you hit an enemy that uses a bladed weapon at the exact same time it does an attack

it makes a freeze frame, a clash and a sound effect

right

||I’ve done it a couple time on THK but that’s all||

[solid heart]

Yeah exactly

||If you land a parry, it also gives you invulnerability frames||

That's that main appeal

[sinful vortex]

ah

||too bad I don’t know any of the parry timings||

[solid heart]

But mastering it to abuse this is like, insanely hard lol

[coarse nest]

Oh
Did not know that

[coarse nest]

Yeah I just get lucky sometimes

[robust ridge]

the way it actually works is:

||if the attack would've hit you, your parry has to be frame perfect

if the attack wouldn't have hit you, you can parry on any frame that your nail is out||

i think

[solid heart]

There's a modded boss that makes a super clean use of parries for the entire fight, but it's a spoiler since it's a modded version of a boss you definitely haven't seen

[robust ridge]

||mystic ze'mer?||

[solid heart]

That's nice, but not really, ||parries aren't that fundamental
I'm talking about Pale Shadow / Prince of Shadows||

[robust ridge]

what mod is that from

[solid heart]

It's standalone

[coarse nest]

I can't believe I'm asking for this but
How the hell do I fight ||malwek||

[solid heart]

For??

[robust ridge]

is it on lumafly/scarab?

[solid heart]

Yes

||Pale shadow is the mod, and Prince of Shadows is just that combined with Pale Prince||

[coarse nest]

||P1||

[robust ridge]

oh cool

how hard is base ||pale shadow||?

[coarse nest]

I'm practicing in ||hog||

[solid heart]

Pretty hard, but not that ridiculous

[robust ridge]

got any points of reference?

[solid heart]

Harder than ||mystic zemer for sure tho||

[solid heart]

Idk honestly

[sinful vortex]

||is it a pantheon exclusive boss cause like I kinda know all of them already||

[solid heart]

Yeah. Well, ||P4 final boss||

[sinful vortex]

||ah pv||

[solid heart]

Yes

[sinful vortex]

||also what’s mystic zemer I’ve never heard of it||

[robust ridge]

oh i'm not beating it then

[sinful vortex]

is it a mod or smth

[coarse nest]

Modded boss

[robust ridge]

i gave up on ||pale court after getting cooked by hegemol and mysterious ze'mer (beat isma and dryya)||

[sinful vortex]

ah

[solid heart]

This is the best clear ||https://youtu.be/PuIlCQWTZqk||

[coarse nest]

So uk how there's the ||five knights||
I'm assuming you know this cuz ||104%||

This is one of those

[solid heart]

Yeah, it's from a mod

But the character is vanilla

[coarse nest]

Yah ||flower quest ||

Anyways, any ||malkwek tips||?

[sinful vortex]

ah

[sinful vortex]

wait ||the grey mourner’s one of the knights?||

[solid heart]

Hit him when he jumps
You can also use ||descending dark to go through the blob rain attack and hit him in the mean time||

[solid heart]

Yeah

[drowsy yarrow]

I just unlocked her last night!! Super duper insane

[coarse nest]

Is this a good loadout for ||oro and mato||

||Qs, shaman, strength, grubsong||
||I have everything except elegy and kingsoul||

[ebon copper]

its decent

[drowsy yarrow]

I was able to cheese ||mystic zemer with quick focus and stalwart shell||, although I do want to actually learn the fight too

[fringe lark]

Wouldn’t bother with ||kingsoul. For anything It’s not worth it.||

[coarse nest]

Yeah I just put that there so I don't have to ss my loadout lol

Also, any idea if this door can be opened/how to?

[fringe lark]

If u have ||quickslash|| that’s the only one of the holy trinity ur missing

[coarse nest]

Oh yeah I'm using it

[reef sail]

||Tips for lost kin??||

[acoustic sigil]

Any specific attacks you are struggling with

[reef sail]

The floating blobs

[acoustic sigil]

Can you send a screenshot of your charms

[reef sail]

Yup

[drowsy yarrow]

Here's some ||lost kin|| tips: #hk-help message

[acoustic sigil]

Id recommend using|| defenders crest to deal with the ghosts||

[reef sail]

Thanks

[neat nymph]

when he ||stops in the middle and spam these bybbles, you can spam hut him if u have hp||

[hoary anvil]

🤔 by chance are you a controller player? the fact that jump and attack are both letter keys is ... an issue.

((i am a keyboard player personally))

another alternative i've seen is ||grubberfly's elegy - it requires you to position in a straight line from them and doesn't get you soul, but avoids narts if there an issue||

[solid heart]

||Lost kin doesn't do that||

[neat nymph]

oh

i forget

[solid heart]

Also no, ||this door can't be opened. Honestly it'd be cool||

[coarse nest]

Man ||P1 got me pissed off at this goddamn malwek||
I'm gonna annoy my uni wifi by downloading more games

[rain ridge]

nope keyboard player i did actually manage to make it past him in ||p5|| with like 5 hp remaining but I keep dying to ||failed champion as the charms I'm running are only optimised to help me beat markoth||

[robust ridge]

what charms are you running

also do you know about the ||failed champion cheese||

[rain ridge]

||which one||

[rain ridge]

||mop, strength, quickheal, grubsong and sprint master||

[robust ridge]

||once you knock him down you can keep hitting his armor to continue his stagger and use dream nail to heal all your hp and get full soul

use spells with the full soul to instantly cycle him to the next stagger (3 shrieks before he starts to drop rocks and then spam shade souls)||

[rain ridge]

oh yeah I know this one || the issue is i keep dying before his first stagger so gotta practice||

[robust ridge]

||nail is the worst tool you have against markoth, you want to use nail arts for the first phase and shade soul spam for the second||

[rain ridge]

otherwise the bosses afterwards are easy work

[robust ridge]

||basically just dash under him every time he jumps, if he jumps backwards he's about to do a shockwave||

[rain ridge]

||i tried with nail arts but since I'm not used to it, i kept fumbling my dodges I'll see what I can do tho||

[rain ridge]

noted

[robust ridge]

||use the nail art right after he fires a projectile so the next one won't come get you while you're frozen

their trajectories are fixed some amount of time before they fire i believe||

||practice it on ascended||

[robust ridge]

try ||quick slash, shaman, strength, nailmaster's glory, and either grubsong or steady body||

[rain ridge]

okay I'll try with that next time

[bronze stirrup]

||im trying to beat pantheon 4 and my build is quickslash, mop, strength, sb and spore shroom. Any recomendations?||

[robust ridge]

||mop -> shaman stone and spore shroom -> nailmaster's glory||

[bronze stirrup]

||my brain cant handle spells and nail at the same time. Its either one or the other for me||

[robust ridge]

||then my advice would be to learn spells

it's going to make the game 10x easier||

just remember like:
||want lots of damage? abyss shriek
enemy far away? shade soul
dangerous attack/situation incoming? ddark||

use spoiler tags

[vagrant bough]

wait wrong channel

[robust ridge]

oh

[vagrant bough]

||can you like destroy the projectiles soul warrior/master/that one flying, teleporting and annoying enemy in soul sanctum?||

||to make my life easier in any way||

[coarse nest]

Idts, gotta dodge em afail6

Afaik*

[vagrant bough]

well ||spells|| dotn work

[sour yoke]

no

if you want to dodge the ||soul warrior orbs, just jump over it and it'll crash against the wall or loop around and crash onto the floor, the soul twisters are kind of annoying, soul master orbs can mostly be dodged by a timely dash, the rotating ones can be jumpdashed through, after which you stand in the center of the arena||

[sour yoke]

pings you

[robust ridge]

this is a bad way to do it

if you ||dash under them|| they immediately crash into the ground and break

[vagrant bough]

i have done ||master and im only gonna visit sanctum once to get tyrant||

[robust ridge]

they very often loop around if you jump over

[vagrant bough]

my problem is on ||radiant warrior|| those ||flying mistakes|| block my escape option

[sour yoke]

well he doesn't have ||shade cloak yet as far as I know||

oh he does

[vagrant bough]

im in ||hog||

[robust ridge]

you don't need it to do it?

[robust ridge]

||all dream versions are unlocked once you beat the original||

no need to

[sour yoke]

those should be one hit

[vagrant bough]

thing is im cornered, ||flying thing coming at me from above and warrior is too close to dash thes oul thing. leading to death||

[sour yoke]

if you ||shade dash through them they get destroyed iirc||

[vagrant bough]

ik but in corner i cant hit them and jump in time

[vagrant bough]

||shade dash upwards??||

[robust ridge]

try killing the ||follies|| as they spawn

also you can ||dive|| if you anticipate that happening

like if you think you might get cornered soon

[vagrant bough]

how? i beat ||soul master in radiant, but i dont have an option for tyrant||

[robust ridge]

||dream nail the statue||

[vagrant bough]

does nothing

[robust ridge]

interesting

[vagrant bough]

||i have it ascended or whatever, 2400+ essence||

[robust ridge]

that's weird

[vagrant bough]

||the hog statue?||

[robust ridge]

don't need ||awoken|| for basically anything

[robust ridge]

yeah

of ||soul master||

maybe it doesn't work i forgot

[vagrant bough]

yep

does nothing

[robust ridge]

ok go do that then

thought it worked

guess not

[pliant mural]

quick question, || im gonna try to do the speed run under 5 hours + steel soul + 100% and i was wondering if the game timer pauses when i pause the game ||

[vagrant bough]

later prob, i wanna finish ||radiant soul warrior first||

[robust ridge]

don't think so

[pliant mural]

i saw people say it does online

i guess i could just test it real quick

[robust ridge]

i had a run where my livesplit kept messing up so i had to keep going to the pause menu

my livesplit time was like 52:38 but my in game time was like 1:02 at the end

so i doubt it

[pliant mural]

damn

ok so if im following a guide

the strat is to just get to the bench they save at and take a break there by going to the menu

got it

[robust ridge]

yeah

do that

[pliant mural]

alrighty ty

[vagrant bough]

||how is soul warrior taking me more attempts than soul master.....||

[stoic cedar]

pausing the game does pause the in game timer. The difference u r seeing beteeen livesplit time (load removed time) and in game time is due to the load times being removed. If u look at the ||TE|| speedrun leaderboard for instance, where the top runs are about an hour long, u will see a 10+ min difference between LRT and RTA. And while there is a difference between RTA and in game time, that difference is not that large, at least not large enough to account for the large difference between LRT and RTA

[formal dust]

just so you know if you aren't a speedrunner it might be a little hard

like I get you want to multitask but I think doing the ||5 hour|| one separately will be easier

unless you like

||complete the game|| twice ||once fast and once on 100%||

ig that would work

[gray portal]

||how do i get in there? tried for some minutes now||

[solid heart]

From the other side

[robust ridge]

my LRT vs RTA time isn't that big though

for ~55 minute runs it's usually like 4 min

[stoic cedar]

I mean that could be explained in a multitude of ways, maybe u had particularly bad loads that day, or u misremembered the timer, for example. But pausing the game does pause the in game timer so that is not what caused the difference

[tranquil oriole]

the difference is usually machine related

you have a slower computer, your RTA will be longer

[robust ridge]

yeah but those were both my pc

could also have been an issue on livesplit's side considering how buggy it was that run

[tranquil oriole]

i’ve never known livesplit to be buggy

what sort of bugs?

[crystal ore]

how do i access ||land of storms in godhome? I have p1-5 with all the bindings done||

|| was told that it didnt have to be done all at the same time, did the bindings one at a time||

[robust ridge]

my splits were totally messed up

for some reason it thought i was like 5 splits ahead

[stoic cedar]

||drop down the left side of p5 and search around there. There should be a crack in the wall nearby||

[robust ridge]

autosplit stopped working but when i tried to skip one split manually it skipped like 5 ahead

and then it got worse to like 7 splits

[tranquil oriole]

are these new splits or ones that have worked before?

[robust ridge]

ones that worked before

and after...

[tranquil oriole]

wild

[robust ridge]

plus i had speedrun server people check the autosplit stuff and they said it was all normal

[tranquil oriole]

i guessss the manual split thing could be an socd issue if you’re a kb player but otherwise idk

[acoustic sigil]

Please delete the image as it isn't spoiler tagged

[shut sparrow]

yes, it should be there

||are you sure you did all of the bindings on this save?||

[crystal ore]

yes, i triple checked

[shut sparrow]

have you ever installed any mods?

[thick wing]

Hi

[crystal ore]

yes, i have || custom knight, debugmod, additionalmaps ||

[shut sparrow]

||then that's probably the reason if I had to guess. Do you have a journal? If yes, do you have all of the entries in it?||

[crystal ore]

|| 162 / 162 ||

[shut sparrow]

you have the ||weathered mask|| already

[crystal ore]

|| can you not go back after you go? I was gonna show it to my friend ||

[shut sparrow]

no

it's only accessible once per save

[crystal ore]

ahh okay ty

that was my bad then lol

[shut sparrow]

there might be a mod for it tho

probably not

you could ask in #modding-discussion if there's any way to re-enter it

[acoustic sigil]

Sounds like a QoL thing idk

[crystal ore]

maybe, thank you for all the help though

[robust ridge]

how exactly does ||mawlek claw sweep|| work

like how does the cooldown work and when can it do it after the ||wave of infection|| attack

[stoic cedar]

||claw sweep? Are you referring to its slash attack?||

[robust ridge]

yeah that one

my friend is struggling with it and i realized i don't understand it enough to explain it

[stoic cedar]

||I mean mawlek just does it at a set interval whenever u r within its slashing range. And he stops doing it during one of his other attacks, either the leap or the huge infection attack||

[vast willow]

it shows on the map too

[gray portal]

oh that easy or what

[solid heart]

Yeah

[stoic cedar]

Hello, all images of in game content need to be spoilered as per channel rules. U will need to delete this image and resend it spoilered

[vast willow]

Yo guys what is that and how can i interact with it

[stoic cedar]

||that is a dreamgate. You can hold up + dreamnail to teleport to it at the cost of one essence. You can also hold down + dreamnail to set it at your current location||

[vast willow]

okay thank you

[robust ridge]

||nvm the way he was describing it just made it sound like it was doing it during the other attacks||

||so i was confused cause i vaguely remembered that happening||

[coarse nest]

I need to learn ||malwek more
Lost another P1 run||

[fringe lark]

Best strat: kill fast

Crazy I know for a combat related speed run

But I think it might be helpful

[lime sinew]

How much life ||does the radiance phase 2 has?||

[forest nest]

A lot

[lime sinew]

“A lot”

[lusty yarrow]

Tips on how to beat ||Soul tyrant dream||

[formal dust]

uh

[south cobalt]

Yo I'm on ||p4|| and I'm practicing on ||attuned gpz in hog|| and I want to know if he has the same HP as the one in ||p4||?

[formal dust]

i don't have any tips it just isnt very hard (for me at least)

[stoic cedar]

||gpz isnt in p4 but yes he does have the same hp in pantheons compared to hog||

[south cobalt]

For ||soul tyrant the key is just patience|| don't rush u will prob get hit if u do

[formal dust]

maybe ||dash towards it every time it shoots at you||

||get the bullets to hit the ground||

[formal dust]

||i'm pretty sure gpz is in p4 what||

[south cobalt]

What wdym ||gpz is in p4 he's after gailen I think||

[stoic cedar]

||gpz is in p3 and p5||

[formal dust]

oh it's ||p3||

[south cobalt]

Oh wait right

I'm stupid

But ok

Btw is ||songstress maria required for 112||?

[stoic cedar]

||marissa? thats just some random spirit, not related to 112%||

[stoic heath]

lol

[south cobalt]

Good

Who's the boss on ||p4?||

[robust ridge]

the final one?

[south cobalt]

||pv or hk||

[robust ridge]

||pv||

[south cobalt]

So ||abso is 5||

?

[robust ridge]

yeah

[south cobalt]

Ok

Well I feel like ||sob will be the most fun..||

[lime sinew]

Finally

[west minnow]

🔥

[pliant mural]

ive done a lot of speed running challenges before so im not too worried about it

[pulsar tundra]

||build||?

I can’t ||beat her||

[simple island]

for a late game charm build I would say that ||shaman/quick slash/strength is a base line then you can add stuff like heart/spell twister/any combination of grubsong, nmg, dream wielder, sbody to finish||
That is assuming you have all charms/upgrades
if you don’t and are struggling you can always get more stuff

[zealous bear]

Ah

Azerod come to gamescom

[hoary anvil]

you can also take away from the base line to tech in other things
-# this is coming as a hybrid nail/heal user that skipped ||shaman stone +2|| for ||quick focus + shape of unn||

[viscid umbra]

||Can someone help me find the dreamer in city of tears i cant find a way to get there||

[timber silo]

you should probably delete this message and actually properly spoiler it @viscid umbra

theres rules against unspoilered spoilers here

image needs to be spoilered too

[viscid umbra]

is that better?

[timber silo]

all you have to spoiler out is ||the dreamer in city of tears|| (and the image ofc which means you have to delete and resend the message)

[stoic cedar]

it is bugging out on your end. both the text and the image are fully spoilered

[hoary anvil]

text used to not be i think

[timber silo]

oh lol

refreshing fixed that

[hoary anvil]

||so if you look directly below it, there's a small room transition in the room next to the fountain room, you need to go up there.||

[viscid umbra]

||i see a room|||| there do i need double jump||

i cant spol;ier well

[hoary anvil]

if you don't want to do a (relatively easy) speedrun skip, yes

[viscid umbra]

is it hard to get ||double jump||

[hoary anvil]

(for reference the speedrun skip is to ||pogo one of 2 (iirc) background object, if you fail it you can leave the room and come back to respawn the background object||)

[hoary anvil]

depends on what you have.

[austere viper]

||Not really hard, do you wanna know around where to look for it?||

Or wanna figure out by yourself?

[viscid umbra]

I would like hints but not like a full walkthrough

[hoary anvil]

as for where it is, ||ancient basin|| (i know you've at least passed by the general area ||in the tram|| due to having areas only accessible by doing that on the map screenshot)

[austere viper]

||Try exploring around the area connecting Waterways and second half of City||

[hoary anvil]

-# this here just gives the area name btw

[viscid umbra]

||is it near the Palace grounds ||

[hoary anvil]

||palace grounds is inside ancient basin||, yes

[austere viper]

||Isn't Palace Grounds only accessible with Double jump?||

[hoary anvil]

also correct assuming you aren't doing some cursed skips

[viscid umbra]

||yea i could get up there but i see it on my map i thoguht there would be a different way||

[austere viper]

||Oh then sorry for kind of a spoiler I guess||

||Then just explore more there, you know where you gotta look, you will find it probably||

[viscid umbra]

lol not that much of a spoiler

[hoary anvil]

-# cursed skips being ||stall/slope ball (i've never succeeded) or a shade skip requiring the shade to shoot a fireball at you that you pogo (takes me a ton of attempts)||

[austere viper]

||Wouldn't a shrogo also potentially work? Or did it restore only the double jump and give no height?||

[hoary anvil]

iirc that requires ||double jump|| to execute anyways, although i haven't done that one either

[austere viper]

||Yeah I have no clue about skips and that kind of tech, so you're probably right||

[viscid umbra]

Thank u for the help

[hoary anvil]

by chance can we see your inventory btw?

[viscid umbra]

sure

one sec

Inventory

[austere viper]

||I think you might have to go back and explore crossroads some more, but not sure||

[hoary anvil]

ok you're missing something important in ||crystal peaks ((i see you've been there because shopkeepers key))|| that you'll need before you can get what you're after

[austere viper]

||Oh yeah he's been to peaks, right, I thought he didn't find them||

Then my earlier statement is wrong

[hoary anvil]

knowing what things require what helps a lot on inferring things

[viscid umbra]

||is it like a long dash ive seen many long hallways before ||

[echo beacon]

兄弟你需要升级下你的骨钉

[hoary anvil]

||yes||

[viscid umbra]

i always felt like missed something

[viscid umbra]

funny

[hoary anvil]

after sticking this in google translate, you can make things easier by doing that

[viscid umbra]

ive gotten a ||nail upgrade in city of tears|| i dont know if there is one before

[hoary anvil]

yeah they're all in the same spot ((||bottom left of city||)), you have all the prerequisites for one ((||a pale ore||))

[wind sorrel]

||Path of pain struggles...||

[hoary anvil]

yeah it took me forever initially, had to leave my computer on overnight part way through it a couple times

[wind sorrel]

i been at ||at the last room|| for like 2 hours now

[hoary anvil]

-# i later discovered a keyboard issue i had where pressing space (where i rebound jump) + down + right would drop the 3rd input and prevent all other inputs causing pogos to be ... harder when moving right

[hoary anvil]

REAL, that was the main wall for my first try

[wind sorrel]

i started 3 hrs ago only took me about an houir to get to ||last room||

which i think is okayy

considering its my first time

[hoary anvil]

if you need to close the game, at least you've ||opened a shortcut to skip some parts||

[wind sorrel]

i am NOT goigng to sleep until i get it

[hoary anvil]

my first try i had to leave my computer on overnight a couple times so yeah you're doing fine

[hoary anvil]

that might ... well it depends on your situation as to whether or not that's a bad idea to hard commit but...

[wind sorrel]

feeling pretty chill rn so

ill keep goin

i keep dying at ||the part where the spears come out the ground or where you gotta go like under the saw and then up||

[hoary anvil]

🫡 good luck

ah yeah, there ... i assume you know what to do, it's just executing it right?

[austere viper]

||Ehh PoP isn't that bad as long as you're just patient||

[hoary anvil]

-# also i assume you know to keep healed up on every attempt there

[austere viper]

||Stay calm and you'll do it||

[viscid umbra]

Is there a ||stag station|| in|| crystal peak?||

[wind sorrel]

Yeah

[austere viper]

||Nope||

[hoary anvil]

no, closest is ||crossroads||

[wind sorrel]

yeah i first got mad but then over time alot more patient

i shouldve equipped ||mark of pride||

[austere viper]

||Ehh it can often kill you in there so I don't like it||

||Cause you can sometimes get pogo'd to a damaging area because of the longer nail||

[wind sorrel]

this keeps happening and its so annoying

[stoic cedar]

||then just pogo lower. the range is there if u need it, u dont have to pogo at max range every single time. and also consider the scenario where u have mark of pride equipped and pogo at max range and hit the ceiling. if u didnt have mark of pride in that exact same spot then u would miss ur pogo instead and most likely get hit anyways. so really there is no downside of mark of pride in platforming at all||

[olive mirage]

Chat what’s the strat for ||absrad platforms. Do you chase her or wait for a good chance to deal high dps||

[austere viper]

||That's true if you're good, but I'd get used to pogo'ing everything at max range and hit the ceiling once I try bouncing off some of the things||

[hoary anvil]

now i wonder how ||missing a pogo initially and then falling into pogo range with the hitbox still active|| works

[wind sorrel]

OMG NOOOO

[stoic cedar]

||stay in the middle and wait for a nearby teleport to go for big damage||

[wind sorrel]

BROOOOOOO ||i got hit löast jump||

[olive mirage]

L

[hoary anvil]

i usually ||wait somewhat - top center is most commanding, drop down to bottom center for a more defensive position||

fun fact: ||you can shape of unn under sword wall when on the bottom center platform||

[wind sorrel]

||PoP is js all timing fr||

||deep focus|| is so clutch

[lucid anchor]

I need help with the -|radiance |-I’ve gotten every single thing but still can’t beat that please give me some tips.

[hoary anvil]

|| not | for spoilers

[austere viper]

Umm, be patient I'd say

[wind sorrel]

basically everything is abt patience

[lucid anchor]

Thanks, everyone

[hoary anvil]

itemless heal opportunity after the ||3rd beam burst telegraph||

[austere viper]

Yup, every difficult thing in this game is about patience

Honestly

[viscid umbra]

Im so stuck i dont know where else to go here

[austere viper]

Though there are only like 3 difficult things once you actually get the hang of the game, but still are difficult imo

[hoary anvil]

more precise location for what you missed is ||right side about halfway down||

[wind sorrel]

frame skipps are so ahhhh

[viscid umbra]

im actually delusional how did i not see it

[wind sorrel]

these ||pop hitboxes are so weird||

[viscid umbra]

Thank you so much for the help

[wind sorrel]

starting to loose my patience sigh

[wind sorrel]

yo bro do you think controller is easier

for this

what do i even get for completing ||path of pain||

[austere viper]

||Satisfaction||

[wind sorrel]

bruh

[hoary anvil]

🤷 never used controller

[wind sorrel]

niehter

[hoary anvil]

||hunter's journal entry and glory basically||

[wind sorrel]

i js finally wanna kill ||radiance||

[wind sorrel]

doesit count to the ||112%?||

[austere viper]

Non

[wind sorrel]

bruhh

[pliant mural]

hey so i talked with someone and they told me the ingame timer does not pause when you pause the game. but i just paused the game for 5 minutes and my game is still at 0 minutes

sooooo does the game time in the menu not track your true game time or was the other guy just wrong?

[hoary anvil]

i was pretty sure the in game timer did pause when you paused the game

from what i've heard anyways

[viscid umbra]

||double jump aquired||

[wind sorrel]

bro these hitboxes are pissing me offf

[hoary anvil]

🦀

[pliant mural]

im so scared man

|| i dont wanna tryhard and 100% steel soul under 5 hours and the ingame timer be glitched ||

that would fucking suck

but im getting

various different respones

maybe in an older patch the game timer didnt pause on the pause menu???

[hoary anvil]

i mean you tested it and it matched my response so

[pliant mural]

yea true

its really funny

[hoary anvil]

and looking it up on search engine said it does too (notably, inventory/etc don't count as paused)

[pliant mural]

|| i thought steel soul was gonna be bad, but after 112%ing plus doing p5, i dont think im gonna have much of an issue ||

[wind sorrel]

OH MY GOID

THIS DI NOT JUST HAPPEN

[pliant mural]

really?

thats really nice

but just to be safe ill be fast in there too

anyhow ima go ahead and give this a shot

thanks for the help

cya

[hoary anvil]

((you can also get hit by random things when in the inventory, and older patches had "inventory drops" for uncapped fall speed so it makes sense that time wouldn't be paused there))

[wind sorrel]

bro no im never doing || pop again||

[lime sinew]

How can I get there?

[lusty yarrow]

HOLY SHIT I FINALLY BEAT ||SOUL TYRANT DREAM|| anyway i need to grind ||essence, where do I get some?||

[lime sinew]

Now beat ||radiance||

[simple island]

You explore ||the rest area below the colo||

[lusty yarrow]

dude

uncool

[lime sinew]

Sure

[lime sinew]

Shhhhh

Just beat it

[lusty yarrow]

dude i dont even have ||better dream nail||

[lime sinew]

How much do you have?

[simple island]

You found a ||dream boss with soul tyrant, you can try to find other bosses which you have already beaten, and left a body for you to dreamnail||

[lusty yarrow]

||1279||

[lime sinew]

You just beated ||lost kin and failed champion?||

[simple island]

No but like for real, telling people to go fight something while they haven’t asked for it, may not know about it’s existence and cannot even find it is not only dumb and unhelpful, but also against the etiquette of the channel

[lusty yarrow]

no, I don't believe i have.

[frozen owl]

||going to kingdom of tears, what should be my set?||

[lusty yarrow]

||Wayward compass, (No gathering swarm? Useful for geo grinding), longnail, soul catcher, grubsong||

[simple island]

||Shaman stone and… well it doesn’t really matter
Probably grubsong soul catcher ?||
If you want ||compass|| that is also fine

You shouldn’t worry too much about that

[frozen owl]

||should i not do flukenest?||

[neat karma]

Theres really no needed charm set for the game just use whatever helps you when its needed

[simple island]

It’s not good
There is a glitch that makes it useable but it’s only for certain bosses if you use it in a certain way

[frozen owl]

i thought it was peak lol

[neat karma]

Some useful ||charms can be dashmaster for faster traveling, quickfocus to make healing safer, greed incase you need money, grubsong and soul catcher for general soul recovery, and shaman and mark of pride for combat||

Outside of these all the others you have are pretty much not good

[simple island]

If you like using ||spells|| ||shaman stone|| is better 99% of the time
A buffed ||vengeful spirit does lots of damage, can hit twice for enemies that take knockback or are large and has infinite range
While the shotgun feels good (and feel free to use it if you find it fun, who am I to stop you)
Optimally, you shouldn’t really be using it, but this is a single player game so like||

[lusty yarrow]

random ass question ||What happens if I dreamgate during a dreamboss?||

[neat karma]

You ||leave the dream realm iirc||

[simple island]

You can try (not much happens)

[frozen owl]

||what abt shaman stone or lifeblood heart?||

[neat karma]

||lifebloods not that good since after you get hit twice, or once if an enemy deals double damage, the charm becomes fully useless until you bench||

[lusty yarrow]

Can i have a hint as to what boss to ||dreamnail???||

[simple island]

Bosses which are ||dead and left a body (and like, important bosses, which gave achievements)||

[lusty yarrow]

||Flase knight left a body, yet I can't dreamnail them.||

[simple island]

Are you sure ?

[lusty yarrow]

pretty sure

[simple island]

Are you really in front of the ||body ? The real body ?||

[lusty yarrow]

||WHERE IS THE BODY THEN??? ITS JUST ARMOR?||

[simple island]

It’s not far

Turn up the volume

[lusty yarrow]

same room?

ahh, I found it

[simple island]

Because this is scaled up to be a hard fight

It’s quite a hard fight
Maybe really hard depending on how much stuff you have

Good luck

[lusty yarrow]

i have || decending dark and shade cloak will this be ok||

[simple island]

Probably

You can use the ||dreamnail during staggers to regain soul (make sure you don’t use too many dreamnail and let them get up on their own)||

[south cobalt]

Hey y'all I need some tips on ||sly|| I've beat him once but I can't consistently do it

@prime girder yo use tags pls

[keen wren]

hey guys is ||the second trial in the collo supoose to be hard??||

i feel like i get around half or more then die

[simple island]

What are you expecting us to say ?
Yeah it’s… hard, but also manageable given enough attempt and given that you have enough upgrades

[keen wren]

i mean yeah ig

[south cobalt]

Yall got any tips?

[simple island]

For me the consistency comes from ||nail arts, they gave you extra range for safety
The main thing is that you want to do is force the boss to finish all their attacks by staying relatively close to them||

[south cobalt]

Ok thx I've tried to memorize the attacks but on the ||downslam how do I know if he is going to swing back or only the down slam?||

[simple island]

If you want an example of how I play
||https://youtu.be/doM3Q6l15os?si=G3JP1OAL5fW13jhb||

[coarse nest]

||soul and heart management||

Look for places ||where you can just chill and heal for a bit, and also kill all primal aspids as they spawn||

What's your loadout?

[simple island]

Its distance
If you are far away they won’t

[south cobalt]

Ok

Also about charms I've been running a basic build for now ||strength qs shaman spell twister|| but should I switch some out??

And if yes which

[keen wren]

I loaded out so I forgot but I’m pretty sure ||quick slash, shaman Stone, wayward, and soul smt I think||

[south cobalt]

Oop edit

||soul eater?||

[simple island]

I would put in ||nail master glory (and then grubsong)||

[south cobalt]

Ok what about the final few slots

||shaman?||

[keen wren]

I think but it’s ||it requires 2 notches||

[south cobalt]

Oh ||soul catcher is what ur thinking of||

[simple island]

||Nmg, Grubsong, shaman strength quick slash||

[coarse nest]

How comfortable with ||spells are you||

A lot of annoying pieces of shit(||aspids, squits, etc||) die to a spell

[keen wren]

Yeah that

[south cobalt]

What does uhh ||aspids and squits have to do with sly???||

[keen wren]

I’m sorta ||good with spells but with the flying stuff i suck with besides the up spell||

[south cobalt]

Oh wait I forgot about those ||shade souls bru that could help so much with collector ||

[coarse nest]

Frosty be stuck on ||colo 2||
Idk bout ||sly myself I'm at P1 lol
Dying to malwek of all things||

[south cobalt]

F

Bro can be kinda annoying in ||hog|| tbh

[coarse nest]

Oh yeah the ||airborne sections|| are something I had to learn by practice

[keen wren]

okay im not dying to that but later on in the fight i just get stuck with 1 health or mask left

[south cobalt]

Uhh have u unlocked all of the ||map||??

If so ||hive blood??? If u feel like it||

Yo azerod u still there

[simple island]

sleeps no one takes shifts, someone else will answer

[tranquil oriole]

the hkhelp night shift

[merry sedge]

Can't get past Mawlek?

[lusty yarrow]

any tips for ||failed champion?||

and also, ||why cant i get any soul||

[robust ridge]

||hitting his armor doesn't give soul||

||did you kill the maggots near him? you can dream nail them for full soul before each fight||

[robust ridge]

can you send your charms and equipment btw

[lusty yarrow]

I did

[robust ridge]

try ||shaman, twister, dream wielder, and strength||

[robust ridge]

Interesting, there are some things you missed in areas you've already been through which can make the fight basically free

[lusty yarrow]

Will i not lose ||strength|| when I lose?

[lusty yarrow]

Oh? Can I have a hint

[robust ridge]

Doesn't break during ||dream fights|| except for two cases which I don't want to spoil

[robust ridge]

||find a place to use the elegant key- do you remember any areas with a strong connection to soul?

look at the color scheme/name of descending dark- what place does that remind you of?||

[lusty yarrow]

got it im checking the ||void||

[robust ridge]

those are 2 different hints btw

to clarify

[lusty yarrow]

oh

[robust ridge]

honestly you'll be fine if you just go there first

you can do the other thing some other time

ping me when you think you've found it

[lusty yarrow]

Is it anything to do with the ||blue stone||?

[robust ridge]

no, that's not as important

if you're curious what it does though ||what do those blue shapes on the door remind you of?||

[lusty yarrow]

||fungal wastes and fog canyon||

[robust ridge]

not quite, does the color blue make you think of anything specifically?

[lusty yarrow]

||lifeblood||

[robust ridge]

maybe try checking it out with some of that

it's not that important though

[lusty yarrow]

ahh

[robust ridge]

also, there's an ||arcane egg|| inside it you can miss forever after you open my

||so try to find it before getting the main thing there||

[lusty yarrow]

Can i have a hint for the thing in ||the abyss||

[robust ridge]

||It's not a huge area tbh, just go the direction you didn't before||

[lusty yarrow]

I found nothing when I went left tho

[robust ridge]

oh there's something there alright

||dream nail the weird background statues for a pointer||

[lusty yarrow]

Oh

I see!

OH HELL YEAH

@robust ridge Found it

[robust ridge]

Nice

So basically the idea is:

[lusty yarrow]

It mentioned the ||soul sanctum|| in its description. Something there?

[robust ridge]

||gather some soul before the fight

when he jumps, dash under him and abyss shriek

once he goes down, hit his armor (not his) face repeatedly to keep extending the stagger, allowing you to dream nail him for infinite soul to heal and recover soul

when you're maxed out, hit him back up, standing right between him and the middle and use 3 abyss shrieks

he'll get knocked back down instantly and just repeat this 3 times, then let him finish his rampage attack once so he breaks the floor and you can win||

[robust ridge]

It does? Interesting

Trust the description

[lusty yarrow]

I meant the description of ||the elegant key||

[robust ridge]

yeah I figured

never knew it though

[acoustic sigil]

Doesnt it just say ||'An elegant key for an elegant lock'||

(It does not)

I just checked

[robust ridge]

I think you're thinking of ||simple keys||

I also thought it never mentioned anything about its use

That's pretty cool though

[lusty yarrow]

Found the thing!

[acoustic sigil]

Yeah I thought they had a similar joke

[south cobalt]

What y'all tawkin in bout

[robust ridge]

Well now you're more than ready for ||failed champion lol||

Check out the charm setup and strategy I gave you

Should be pretty light work now

[lusty yarrow]

mandela effect

[south cobalt]

Ooohhh

Him

[robust ridge]

||generally, just dash under him any time he jumps

if he jumps backwards he'll do a shockwave||

once you pass the first portion it's really easy with the setup I recommended

[lusty yarrow]

||soul warrior after being harder than soul master||

[south cobalt]

Hey umm I made a guide on ||fk||if that can help with ||failed||

[lusty yarrow]

why does ||soul warrior|| take like 7 ||decending darks|| to kill

[south cobalt]

It's 3 pages on a Google doc💀

[lusty yarrow]

im not on ||fk|| im on ||upgrade FK||

[south cobalt]

Ik

But it can help with moves and stuff..

[lusty yarrow]

im actually ok at the moves i just suck at not being reckless

[robust ridge]

the one you just fought is buffed

Also spoiler tag ||soul warrior||

[lusty yarrow]

ahh

[south cobalt]

Ooohhh yeah being reckless will most certainly ruin ur day later on in the game

Especially on ||failed||

[lusty yarrow]

whoops, thought it would flag

[acoustic sigil]

There is no bot to flag anything atm

[stoic cedar]

||oh bruh i remember this, u were the one who was abbreviating false knight to tfk, u should change that in ur document||

[acoustic sigil]

||The Follow Knight||

[south cobalt]

Okay maybee when it's not 1:30am

[lusty yarrow]

||THE FUCKING KNIGHT||

[south cobalt]

Hungry knight

[lusty yarrow]

prequel to hollow kngiht

how i feel after getting banned for saying ||hollow knight (its the name of the fucking game and a boss||

[south cobalt]

Hungry knight was the original game that hollow knight was based off of

[lusty yarrow]

ik

[south cobalt]

But both were made by David larken

👍

[lusty yarrow]

i don remember a david in team cherry

[south cobalt]

Whatever his name is

I can't remember

Repo

[stoic cedar]

you are probably thinking of christopher larkin, who was the composer for team cherry

[south cobalt]

Yeah or smth

I'm kinda stupid

[lusty yarrow]

whats stronger || decending dark or abyss shriek ||

[south cobalt]

Screams from the pits of hell

If that answers ur question

[lusty yarrow]

thanks

[south cobalt]

But it depends on the situation and boss

Most of the time but DMG wise yeah

[lusty yarrow]

why doesnt ||abyssal shriek|| provide ||immunity like decending dark||

[dapper hornet]

I think ||DD|| is more powerful

If we power scale
||DD|| does better

And with ||immunity too||

But in the game, ||abyss shriek|| feels more mechanically perfect

[short kettle]

In terms of damage output, ||Shriek||. In terms of practical use, ||Descending Dark.||

||Abyss Shriek|| is in no way bad in practical use either but ||Descending Dark's invincibility frames are priceless.||

[robust ridge]

I don't find myself using ||ddark for damage as much as dodging||

[lusty yarrow]

dude how do I ||hit the Failed champion with shriek without taking damage? I miss once and it hits me before i can kill it with it||

[short kettle]

Where are you fighting him?

[robust ridge]

Are you ||dashing under it||

[robust ridge]

Normal

[lusty yarrow]

can you ||dash and use it||

[robust ridge]

Wdym

[short kettle]

You can just damage tank against it, no?

[robust ridge]

Not while ||dashing|| but right after

[lusty yarrow]

only ||7 masks||

[robust ridge]

Not really

[short kettle]

Hm, makes sense.

I'm guessing you're avoiding the stagger exploit.

[robust ridge]

Try playing normally until the ||first stagger||

then just cycle with ||shriek||

[lusty yarrow]

actually can i have help ||getting one more mask shard|| thats all i need

[robust ridge]

you can consistently get 3 in as he || gets back up, jumps to the middle, and prepares his attack||

||which is enough to knock him down I think||

might need one more hit

[short kettle]

Max number of ||masks is 9 so you're missing 5 actually. We can't say which ones you're missing, but I'm guessing flower quest is one of them.||

[lusty yarrow]

whats ||flower quest and how do i start it||

[robust ridge]

Not worth it rn

It's really annoying

[short kettle]

Save it for last.

[robust ridge]

You have to ||get across the map without getting hit or using stags||

[short kettle]

It's the hardest one.

[lusty yarrow]

Oh.

From where to where?

[hoary anvil]

as a curiosity, any tips for them without ||dash||? asking for a challenge run

[short kettle]

||A room in Resting Grounds to a room in Queen's Gardens.||

[lusty yarrow]

why would you do this to yourself

[hoary anvil]

itemless challenge go

-# well, nail + focus but

[robust ridge]

||look for a place to double jump either near mantis village or near crystal guardian||

[robust ridge]

Funny you mention this because I actually did ||itemless failed champ||

[hoary anvil]

👀

[robust ridge]

That's the only one I've done

Do you mind if I help you in like 10 hours though

[hoary anvil]

i've done ||lost kin|| once

sure

[robust ridge]

I should really go sleep

[hoary anvil]

-# the random jumps when targeted at you ... idk how to dodge them reliably. then i get heal scammed and attritioned until i die

[lusty yarrow]

is it possible to 100% the game without doing a ||soul boss?||

[hoary anvil]

also ||tyrant phase 2|| is garbage
-# according to a thing i watched, they had to have a mod made to make it not rng on whether you get hit

[robust ridge]

100% yeah, 112% yes but incredibly painful

[lusty yarrow]

what

[robust ridge]

fyi a lot of it comes down to just practice and reactions in the end

[hoary anvil]

oh yeah the ||birds/bees strats...||| i was thinking that it might not be possible but i forgot about it

[hoary anvil]

well yes

[robust ridge]

||failed champ isn't a very complicated boss||

I'll have to run an attempt or two to get a feel for it again though

and it's too late for that rn

it's been a couple years

[hoary anvil]

i was thinking like an ai manip might be mandatory to prevent certain attacks from coming out that require ||dash|| ... idk though

[lusty yarrow]

how i feel after getting a fuck tonne of ||essense instead of doing secret bosses||

[robust ridge]

I don't remember anything requiring it as long as you're playing in a specific way

but again I'll have to get a feel for it again

I kinda forget

[robust ridge]

||you can spend literally dozens of hours grinding basic enemies lol||

[robust ridge]

||birds and bees actually aren't optimal||

[torn vector]

||Traitor lord requires it for the orange slashes ||

[hoary anvil]

oh, a new optimal one was found? 👀

[robust ridge]

it's the ||flukes before flukemarm||

[hoary anvil]

i know that ||bees > birds||

[robust ridge]

I mean for ||failed champ||

||traitor lord and radiance do require it yeah||

[lusty yarrow]

you dont need ||failed champ to beat the game||

[hoary anvil]

🤔 really ... i wonder if the ||bees|| were picked because you could afk with an autoclicker of some sort

[robust ridge]

Those 2 were never optimal in the first place

[robust ridge]

It's because you can't reach them during ||low% te||

You need ||dive||

[hoary anvil]

oh right ||dive||

[robust ridge]

It's a LOT faster

[hoary anvil]

particularly with ||cdash|| i assume

[robust ridge]

Only 10 hours of grinding instead of 50!

[lusty yarrow]

hello ||suspiciously shaped arena below the main boss arena||

[robust ridge]

yeah

[robust ridge]

It's like ||false knight where he eventually has to break the floor to let you kill him||

[lusty yarrow]

yeah, i know

[robust ridge]

nice instincts though lol

btw you can get to the arena faster by just ||crystal dashing from the platform you spawn on||

[hoary anvil]

speaking of ... i wonder what happens ||to the floor if you just leave after they fall through the floor through the breakable wall that you may or may not have already opened|| ... i assume ||the entire fight just restarts|| but

[lusty yarrow]

NO DAMMIT
I JUST ||broke charm||

[robust ridge]

||Entire fight restart I think yeah||

Might be misremembering though

I did that intentionally a couple of times I think?

[robust ridge]

How

[hoary anvil]

i assume they're at a different thing than we were discussing?

[lusty yarrow]

grinding ||soul before the fight||

[robust ridge]

||they're at the normal failed champ||

[robust ridge]

uh oh

you can go ||repair it at leg eater||

[lusty yarrow]

can i not || buy a new one||

[robust ridge]

that's basically what ||repair is|| but it's just like half the original price

[lusty yarrow]

also whats ||leg eater i forgot||

[robust ridge]

the guy who sold you it

[hoary anvil]

oh ... i usually don't bother doing that before them because i can just fire off attempt 2 immediately and be practicing -> improving rather than wandering around trying to refill all the resources to the absolute top...
-# me when ||going around the entire map hitless collecting lifeblood cocoons to attempt the boss one more time||

[lusty yarrow]

ahh

[hoary anvil]

i thought it was less than that, but i don't actually know

[robust ridge]

it's either a bit less or a bit more

I've never actually done it so idk

[hoary anvil]

i've done it like twice, i barely use them before ||unbreakable||

[robust ridge]

||you can equip defender's crest for a small discount||

[lusty yarrow]

why is the ||person at the bank gone||

[hoary anvil]

||you put in >2500||

[robust ridge]

||you got scammed!||

[lusty yarrow]

and?

[lusty yarrow]

FUCK

[robust ridge]

dw it's actually an investment lol

[lusty yarrow]

what

[robust ridge]

you can ||find her later and beat her up for 1.5x the amount she stole||

[hoary anvil]

me putting in 0-2500 or 4500 (anything else is suboptimal)

[grim arch]

||i go there everyday to beat her up daily.||

[lusty yarrow]

lmao

am i a psychopath i like killing fungus children

[grim arch]

I like killing fungus children too

[lusty yarrow]

😄

boo i wanted to emoticon

[hoary anvil]

me: "||oh the maggots are neat i might let them- oh wait they have a journal entry? sacrifices must be made||"

[hoary anvil]

i disabled the automatic emojis somewhere in settings

((it was years ago so i don't know where))

:)

[lusty yarrow]

:D

YAY

:D

[hoary anvil]

i wonder is \:) would also work

probably not

[lusty yarrow]

why do people use || steady body i like having recoil||

[lusty yarrow]

just ||repaired my charm on my way back now||

[hoary anvil]

-# assuming full charm knowledge
combos well with ||quick slash|| for standard offense, as well as in my opinion a tech option for ||nailmaster's glory to prevent accidentally knocking yourself away from a wall you meant to go to when going to use it||.

[hearty pecan]

hi guys any tips for ||p5||

[hoary anvil]

||- practice any problematic ones in hall of gods

• unlock the lifeblood cocoons
• focus on survival builds imo||

[grim arch]

I killed them on sight ngl

[hoary anvil]

my personal build is (nonstandard but) ||strength/quick slash (dps) + quick focus/shape of unn (survival)

• strength allows ohkoing the summons from the collector
• quick focus/shape of unn allow healing in a lot more spots to stay alive||

[hearty pecan]

but how do i practice ||markoth in hall of gods if his arena is the ascended one but deals 1x dmg, but if i practice the ascended one, i take 2x dmg||

[burnt siren]

practice on ||ascended||. the higher damage will help, if anything

[hearty pecan]

oh yeahh

thx

[burnt siren]

in general its good to have at least most bosses done on ||ascended|| before seriously going for ||p5|| anyways

[coarse nest]

Yeah I'm practicing ||hog
Not consistent, I'm just getting lucky||

[burnt siren]

cool build i respect the variety

[brave heron]

ive been told to get the || child full of flame || where/how

[jagged wing]

Equip the ||grimchild charm|| and the locations will be marked on your map after return to ||grimm||

[lusty yarrow]

alright screw it playing the game normally my ass im ||cheesing failed protector||

alright so ||the cheese did nothing||

[polar flicker]

Who's failed protector ?

[lusty yarrow]

you probably shouldnt of clicked the spoiler then

[tranquil oriole]

||failed champ i think||

might be language barrier or smth

translation is weird

[lusty yarrow]

oh yeah shit

[polar flicker]

Oh champion nvm

[tranquil oriole]

trying to think of someone who failed and who can be cheesed

that’s probably ||champ||

[lusty yarrow]

my dumbass just looked it up as ||fp|| instead of ||fc|| too

[polar flicker]

Ye the cheese strat is op

[lusty yarrow]

i have no fucking clue how to do cheese strat apparantly

[tranquil oriole]

you need the right gear

[lusty yarrow]

||glowing womb is enough is it not?||

[tranquil oriole]

huh???

[polar flicker]

[tranquil oriole]

that is NOT the cheese

[lusty yarrow]

is it not just ||cdashing in the corner and using spawns?||

[polar flicker]

No

[tranquil oriole]

definitely not

[polar flicker]

|| the cheese is when he's down keep dreamnailing him for soul ||

[tranquil oriole]

show us your inventory and ||charm|| menu

[lusty yarrow]

oh yeah im doing that now bcuz ||cheese not working||

[tranquil oriole]

there’s a better cheese…

[polar flicker]

What ur doing now is the main cheese ik

[tranquil oriole]

that strat is part of it

after waking him up there’s another element to it

[tranquil oriole]

ok unfortunate

you have access to the thing you’d need, but you don’t have it

you even have access to the thing you’d need for the harder backup strat, but you don’t have that either

but that’s ok, first playthrough cheesing is probably not meant to be

[lusty yarrow]

can i have advice for what I have?

[tranquil oriole]

sure

[lusty yarrow]

also if only id ||KEPT THE FUCKING MAGGOTS ALIVE||

[tranquil oriole]

it might be worth going back to ||bench|| if you expect it to take a handful of attempts

[lusty yarrow]

The strat im currently doing is ||abyssal shreak as often as possible, soul grind and heal when hes down.||

[tranquil oriole]

your biggest sources of damage is your ||downwards spell||, so i would recommend using that
if i were to do this fight with this gear, i think id use ||dream wielder|| but if you don’t that’s fine
he has two main attacks ||jump towards you and smack, or jump back, charge shockwave, and slam. If you dash under him when he comes toward you, wielder gives you plenty of time to dream nail him and get two casts of ddark||

[lusty yarrow]

isnt ||abyss shreak stronger||

[tranquil oriole]

in this scenario, for the attack where ||he backs up, it’s probably best to dash in for just a single hit and get out||

[acoustic sigil]

Your image is outdated, not showing you have that

[tranquil oriole]

you don’t have it

[lusty yarrow]

oh whoops

[lusty yarrow]

i do i used an outdated image lol

[tranquil oriole]

ok in THAT case

• put ||shaman stone|| on
• three ||shrieks|| should stagger
• ||dnail to full soul||
• repeat

[urban pasture]

||can you get every ending in a single save file?||

[lusty yarrow]

||i just got fucking barrel spammed||

[tranquil oriole]

:D

[polar flicker]

Yes

||But u can get locked out of an ending ||

After a certain event

[urban pasture]

||ig i gotta fight him one without void heart and one with it
But after beating him with void heart will i get another chance to dream nail him?||

[polar flicker]

Yes

Problem is if u already have || voidheart|| u can't remove it

[lusty yarrow]

is there any way to ||get the maggots back||

[polar flicker]

No

[lusty yarrow]

damn

[polar flicker]

Unless u didn't bench

Why do u want the maggots back btw

[lusty yarrow]

to ||dreamnail them for soul||

[polar flicker]

U can use the hot spring

[lusty yarrow]

||Infected Crossroads||

[polar flicker]

||There's also an item that gives soul when ur sitting on a bench but that's far off to get ||

[polar flicker]

Shd be available even there

[lusty yarrow]

yeah it exists but its a pain to get ther

LETS GOOO
I BEAT IT

||1.5k essence now||

[tranquil oriole]

nice

[lusty yarrow]

hell yeah ||8 masks||

[tranquil oriole]

that’s a ||mask shard||

yep

[lusty yarrow]

[tranquil oriole]

I'm trying to useddark to avoid the full side covering splash, but I'm not able to do much damage if I keep trying to avoid the slash||

[hollow bramble]

[coarse nest]

Nah I'm in a library-ish place

Thanks for the offer tho

I'll prolly just attempt more ||hog||

[tranquil oriole]

just go up and over when he does the big sploof imo

you have a chunk of time, try it out and see if it’s comfortable for you

iframing it works but definitely not necessary

[hollow bramble]

||yeah remember its a boss u can access at the start of the game||

[wind sorrel]

||how do i unlock the percentage of game completion in the main menu?||

[robust ridge]

It's quite late game but if you really want to know -> ||reading a lore tablet in the final boss area||

[wind sorrel]

i got ||101%|| but still dont have it..

[robust ridge]

you never read the ||lore tablet in the black egg?||

[wind sorrel]

dont think so

[robust ridge]

that's how you get it

[wind sorrel]

[golden lagoon]

its saying failed to send messege.

[robust ridge]

that's weird

you could try sending it without the spoiler and I'll read it quickly and you can delete it after?

not sure if that's allowed

probably not

[robust ridge]

how many are missing

[hollow bramble]

so im thinking after he did the thningy, he didnt ||dream nail / hit the lever|| for some of the bosses

[robust ridge]

maybe but the way he said it sounds like he's actually missing them

could be a bug

[golden lagoon]

look
i know how to switch beetwen them
like the regular || nosk and the hornet nosk || or whatever that thing was. i must hit the switch button right? and the || statue goes down and the other one comes|| right?
for some bosses like || failed champion or lost kin|| i cant switch it. the button is not there.

[acoustic sigil]

||Dream nail it||

[golden lagoon]
