no no i found the servant
i forgot where he told me to find ||grimm||
oh no i remember he told me to collect the flame right
Lol
thats what i dont want to do
||he tells you to meet him at the place you summoned the troupe||
that place is the
||howling cliffs||
i forgor
why cant i acess it?
You need ||voidheart||
any tips for|| pure vessel radiant||
uhh personally i just used ||sharp shadow and descending dark for iframes to win the fight||
when do you use ||descending dark||
just keep practicing

it should only really take you like 2-3 hours
i use it when i feel like im gonna get hit-
usually during the || focus circles attack tbh||
||ig the big circle?||
Is it possible to get both ||grimmchild|| and ||carefree melody|| in the same save file (or with bugs?)
Pray to pale king you don't get hit
its impossible to get both ||grimmchild|| and ||carefree melody|| without glitches
||2-3 hours for radiant pv is kinda crazy||
wdym?
||they're one of the easier radiants||
||assuming you've gotten enough practice to consistently win beforehand||
||use pogo and not shade dash for the lunge and triple slash if you haven't already||
||you can get close during the spikes and shriek it||
I counted from starting to fight ||pv attuned||
oh that's normal then yeah
no idea
totally depends on the player
||I did him on my first try on radiant but I'd done a lot of practice against him in the past||
im desperate, how do you ||beat the white palace this pale mf loves sawblade more than his wife||
You can use ||hiveblood so you have pretty much inf tries||
i am using it
but god
dammit
this mf loves ||putting blades on everything||
feel like trying to verify a extreme demon gd level
trial and error and some hope then 🙏
they were not even hard to no hit but they were so annoying to cuz for some reason they sometimes bounce off the walls or stop early
how
oh yeah oops
||Dash||
wait untill he founds out about ||path of pain||
i know
dem
i dont think i want to pop
||why does
papa love sawblades||
they look cool 
this all i got...
you are using a good build
then the fault lies with me
why has the fork forsaken me
is that your first playhtrough?
||this supid fork papa||
playthrough*
gyes-
nice

i forgor how to git gud
||does dream weilder only increase soul from striking enemys with dream nail but also increase soul from reg nail?||
why the fuck is vro there
he hit me into the ||saw||
it gives you|| soul after striking enemies with dream nail||
tip||: if when you attack them once if you touch them you wont get damaged by them for like 4 seconds||
when they bitch and go shadow?
wha?
they open...
yeah
o
there are tons of skips
like ways to get around the hard sections
do they need to be frame perfect
if yes, hell nah
nvm you got past the sections with them
no
like
||"break this wall and you skip the hardest section" type skips||
or ||dive through this floor and skip this long fall||
oh yeah there's a big one coming up
this
pissing me off
||when you get to a tunnel filled with tons of the extending spears you can break a secret wall under it to walk underneath||
?
uhhhh aight
||it's a hallway with tons of the extending spears coming out of the floor and ceiling||
||right under the hallway there's a secret tunnel which you enter by breaking a breakable wall with your nail||
lemme guess, ||path of pain||
no??
read this
o
oh
||it's in a room where you have to get out by going all the way around to open a door with a lever btw||
the bypass
saw too quick
When it goes up u go up there’s a checkpoint close upwards
what does ||defender crest do with summoner build||
||glowing womb, turns your knightling into poo poo knightlings||
Makes your stuff do less damage
(Spoiler tags !!)
Not that you would want to use ||glowing womb in the first place, that thing uses way to much soul|| for the damage it does
true
how to beat|| radiance||
ionget this
You have to ||dash through, and you need to space your dashes to perfection
What I recommend is that you don’t hold a direction while dashing||, to make the spacing more consistent
It’s a big spike in difficulty compared to most bosses, if you really can’t beat her, you may want to try to get more upgrades (if you send a screenshot of your inventory and charm inventory we could nudge you towards good upgrades)
You should also expect to die to her a lot, so it may be worth to give her a few attempts in which you only try to dodge, just to understand how she works
this is the part I was talking about before
You see that for a question as vague as how to beat ||radiance|| one could actually give helpful advice instead of saying gitgud and laughing at the expense of some random chill person
i got past it
-# shhh that’s a secret…
but now this too fast
I’ve done it like once on my first playthrough then never again
I avoided it in my first playthrough too
You can’t ask for help every time you find something hard tsk tsk tsk
Give it more attempt
if you ||jump so you're right next to it without getting hit you can pogo off using the side of your nail||
ive been stuck at this for a while
it keep breaking my
like a kitakt
Also you goal is to go to the ||wall on the right and cdash||
i did that, only to got gud by the slope
at the top
so i fell
whats a ||good charm build for p4||
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; you can also replace one of the first 3 charm with MoP||
||why heart||
can it be ||long nail||
oh nvm

is this a good build
for what
oh shit fr?
||p4||
yes but replace ||gathering swarm with something for pantheons (though I'm sure this is obvious/you already know)||
so ||grubsong||?
||you can use kingsoul for path of pain (if you already didn't do it)||
||or nailmaster's glory, up to you||
that's excruciatingly slow though
idk how to use that
since i dont use ||nail arts||
also i need to relearn ||pv|| 
just ||charge them up when the boss isn't near you||
works great for ||markoth and no eyes||
fr
now that im ready to finally get ||true ending||

its 2:40 am
so ill kill that ||moth|| tomorrow
any tips for ||white defender||
can i have a ss of inventory?
i have everything
ok
also, how's your progress on the fight so far? any particular attacks that you have trouble dodging?
||the one where he dives into the ground and a big shockwave goes across the ground||
||and the smaller shockwave attack||
||use shade cloak. he will always do the big shockwave after throwing three dung balls in a row, so try to save your dash in the moments leading up to the dive. if you're in a pinch, you can normal dash away until shade cloak is back, then shade dash through. if you're really in a pinch, you can ddark to dodge it instead.
for small shockwave, dash away||
okay thanks
i beat him
3rd try
-#
you asked for help before trying 3 times ?
this is great
oh oopsies mb
yes
i did
||How do I get to this grub?||
||from deepnest||
||breakable wall in deepnest||
Please spoiler tag the text too
||this grub?, I'm trying to find the last four grubs!||
||there's a dive floor in the room above it||
||this one?||
||Theres a quite big place you havent found, look for secret passageways above the grub||
Say if you want the exact location
||do I just smack this endlessly? cause I looked everywhere else-||
||breakable floor to the right||
thank you so much!!
Yo I need some tips on ||pv😭||
finally
The loorrere
is there an attack you have trouble with
the rook
Uhh the ||triple swing combo rlly fast goes rlly far
||does nothing happen after you rescue all the grubs? do I just get a charm or is there more?||
U need to go back to a certain someone
charm
also reenter the room
||what do i not do to get my save locked? I want 112% and im not sure what endings lock my save||
None
Really?
||no matter what ending u do, u can always enter ur save afterwards||
Anyways I also struggle with the ||dive thingy||
||i saw someone say that if you get the first ending (where you become the seal) it locks||
Damn thanks, i also asked chatgpt and it was so incorrect 😭
F
Never ask ai
Just come to hk help
We know
Uw
Are u confused on what u need to do to get ||112||?
Cause I can save u some time
One more question... I already got ||void heart|| and never defeated any end boss
Yeah u don't have to
So i can still get the 112% without the first ending
No end boss actually counts towards ||112||
Thanks
Thanks but i dont need it yet im at only 86%
||black egg temple||
Thanks
Np
See you later i guess

||100% steel soul under 5 or 20 hours||
Uhm
I haven’t downloaded it since like 2023 and I haven’t gotten around to downloading it again
Idk
xD
modding and i think lumafly is the new scarab
u shud look towards #modding-discussion or something liek that but yeah thats what i used
anyways how to consistently beat ||abs rad|| also health bar mod lied
but I already installed luflamy xd
open it, its pretty straightforward
Any parts specifically that u feel u r inconsistent at? Also yea ||internally, absrad doesn’t die at 0 hp so that’s why there is some inconsistency with the hp bar.||
||i feel like first phase is ok but probably cuz i have the most practice with and is the most comfortable with, platforms is kinda awkward like when hes offscreen, climb is ok, and the final phase i have no idea how to do||
|| for final phase you just pogo and when she spawns a fireball jump offscreen cause they despawn if they go offscreen for that phase||
now i just have to get there consistently enough to try it out 😔
||u can beat the dream versions of: false knight, soul master, dung defender, that guy guarding wings, maybe more i forgot||
anyhoos dont forget to spoiler
ty
please use spoiler tags in this channel ||like this||
what exactly is it that you need help with?
||im in early game, i dont have the wings of monarch of any of this things but i finished in lands of rest||
keep exploring the area ur in
that's not very weird
||for platform phase if u stay near the middle u should always be able to discern where absrad teleports to even when she teleports offscreen, so just pay attention to what kind of attack comes out from that direction and u should be far enough to be able to easily react and dodge whatever attack it is.||
Lemme look at this!! Once more
it's a peak youtuber I think
Is there some tek to beat || no eyes in p4 || that i don't understand because they're so hard
||it really just comes down to patience, dont be overly aggressive and chase her everywhere. just go for hits if she is relatively nearby||
Got it || i have noticed her attacks have odd hitboxes tho like I'll shade dash and they'll still hit me ||
||not really, u probably just mistiming ur shade dashes or smth like that. if anything, the actual hitboxes of the spirits she spawns are a bit smaller than what is shown visually||
i hate them lmao
particularly because the optimal strat to not get hit is to do nothing most of the time
|| They put so many annoying bosses in p4 like no eyes watcher knights i hate them so much ||
||watchers|| i can at least play aggressive on
speaking of i assume you know the ||no eyes safe spot in the bottom center of the (attuned) arena||, right? that's the heal spot.
you'll have to leave it to do damage but
I'd assume but thats gonna be a life saver
From what i heard the strat is || PRAY ||
||nah, the real strat is patience||
unfortunately for me i hate doing that
||ascended||?
me when half my health is gone in an instant:
Me when i go in and die 0.00005 secs in
No specific attacks,|| I just need to know when to heal and when to strike.||
As for inventory
And ||charms||
Try ||longnail or soul catcher -> steady body + defender's crest||
||defender's crest takes care of the ghosts||
That also ||doesn't take care of all spell slots, should I put in shaman stone?||
Also, ||soul catcher means I heal a lot. Shouldn't I use soul twister instead?||
||I mean replacing one of them, probably longnail, not both||
||more hits = more soul = more spells||
||especially with a boss like lost kin steady body just lets you push it around||
||only heal during the staggers||
Yeah but I could use || nail master instead||
doesn't seem to helpful for this fight tbh
i've never used them against ||lost kin|| myself
||nah nail master is nice cause lost kin moves fast so you gotta be able to do decent dmg everytime||
you can usually just chase it down though
you can easily keep chaining hits on it
Yeah but if you're struggling then its nice
eh i would suggest just using ||normal attacks||
||then use a nail build||
you can kinda ||stagger lock|| it
have you been getting ||shade soul double hits|| btw
What are those
||if you cast a shade soul at the right distance, the knockback causes it to get hit twice||
||it's easy to do against lost kin, you mostly just need to stay away from it to get double hits cause it takes a ton of knockback||
||Should I focus on dps more or dodging||
if I'm correct if you hit ||lost kin with a perfect abyss shriek 10 times you win||
you can't really do that
I was standing still with ||defenders crest on and got killed by a ghost ._.||
I mean you can but you need ||extra soul||
||it's not perfect, the attacks come out at intervals||
no like ||you can't really land a full shriek on lost kin||
Can you not when it ||goes slightly into the air and dashes||
no, it just ||dashes out of the hitbox||
Also does that mean || I should use descending dark more ||
it's not worth it, just go for ||shade soul doubles||
yes
it's great for this fight
and in general
Just learnt that if you ||dash attack you can get a hit before the fight starts||
spoil tag that pls

mb
What charms should I be using to fight ||nosk in deepnest||
how does one set up the skip ||to palace grounds using slope/stall ball (or whatever it's called)||?
-# that ||shade skip|| is really annoying
well the first step is to cap ur frame rate to 50 fps or so in case u havent done so already
how is that best done? i assume the listed 60 here means invalid? i've gotten it to go diagonal though just not straight down enough
-# also i could have sworn i lowered the resolution a while back but it seems to be at max 🧐
50 fps is just the lowest fps cap that is still in accordance to the src ruleset, since lowering ur fps too much can cause some really jank stuff to happen to the physics since the physics is ran at 50 fps.
just got the ||shade skip|| variant again but i'd like to figure out the other variant
wdym src ruleset?
and theres just like overall input lag and stuff like that at lower fps
|| under 5 ||
||is there a method to killing the p5 vengeflies really fast||
Yes
Check the speedrun
Is there a ||second phase to lost kin||
No
Idk but a lot from what I remember
||it is completely dependent on ur gear and what u do in the fight since staggers are based on hits, not amount of damage. so u could have low gear and need a ton of staggers to beat lost kin, or u could have max gear and not need that many staggers||
||and for most bosses, staggers are based on amount of hits||
Well currently, ||I'm spamming the fuck out of shadesoul with shaman stone.||
||Yeah, this, theoretically he can even have 0 staggers||
help ||I don't want to do the path of pain but I want to progress, what do I do in the white palace?||
Also can ||charms break in the white palace?||
||Path of Pain isn't needed for progression||
I know, I think I'm ||accidentally doing it||
||That would be hard to 'accidentally' do as a huge title card that says: Path of Pain appears||
Ahh.
Great, this || parkour I'm doing isnt even the path of pain||
I'm on ||one mask to charms break in the white palace||
ok they dont
||three I think||
nvm then
uhh guys imma ask this question again
||going to city of tears, what should be my set||
??
||hey what's the best charm load out for path of pain?||
||hive blood||
Imo you dont need anything else
Thank you
||The two fucks at the end:||
Oh yh forgot zbt them
||use your usual build to fight and just take sum off to replace it with hiveblood youll need to fight at some point ||
||compass, mark of pride, soul catcher or put shaman stone in there if u like spells. anyways u already have flukenest so ou've already been in city before||
uhh help me please 😭😭🙏🙏
ohh thanks!
||will using Mark of pride and long nail mess up my parkour?||
only use one of them
Imo yes
Yeah just one of em is fine
||I'll just use Mark of pride and hive blood thank you||
Good luck! Nyeheheh You're gonna need it.
||you should add something like shaman stone|| it doesn't cost anything to be prudent
||I wish I still had king soul||
||someone recommended hiveblood. if you still have the chance, replace hiveblood with grubsong + deep focus. it gives you the same result but doesn't require you to wait 15 years for the hive mask to regen||
Isn't it ||G Song, Elegy, and Deep Focus?||
||that's my biggest problem with hive blood I have to wait for so long thank you for the suggestion||
||elegy??||
||you need elegy to be fully infinite. without elegy it's so close to infinite that it may as well be||
||elegy increases the soul gain from grubsong by 10||
||I've been using Elegy for no reason?|| 
||yeah, as long as you aren't getting hit over 200 times before reaching a source of soul
||
Oh so I have been using it for a reason
Cool
real
||I just got unbreakable strength and my nail is already pure pretty sure that would shred through the traitor boss right?||
sure
||what does the salubra thing does?||
||when you sit on a bench for a little bit you start to gain Souls Slowly||
That’s good
But the down side however
You're gonna slowly become insane
No. It's not.
|| where do you get thorns of agony? ||
||in Green Path||
This better be for percentage and not usage
Hopefully it is
??????? i used toa for my whole playthoruhgh??? its the best charm
Oh my
i mena theres like no better alt
There's no saving you
tips for ||radiance||
dont listen to the ||thorns|| propaganda use whatever charms u like USE YOUR FREE WILL
BUT IT'S AN ACTIVE DEBUFGFFFF
Sigh
how far have u gotten
One sec ||checking after sealed siblings credits||
honestly just practice, u might wanna just learn the attacks first
||80%||
Go get more shit
You will see
i keep dying to stupid shit on my ss run
Yo I rlly need some help with ||pv||
||Thorns|| gives you -100 luck btw
Bro y'all have to start using tags
Dude I've been here longer than you
nuh uh
In that case u should be forgetting to use tags a lot less than me
And don't give me that but June is before July, I've left and rejoined the server, which is why it says July 16th
it lets u run in and kill everything without pressing m1 once
After taking DMG..
||It gets rid of I-Frames|| 
Sure
i can screen share
/s just new to the game I already got mothwing cloak from hornet, should i move on to fungal waste /s
Then why use it if you know what it does 
yes vc
Spoiler tag this
|| On both sides
go for it, also use a spoiler next time
it’s /s
Gino in this channel we have to tag spoilers using || on both sides
What you is saying about bro?
.. u forgot to say that it's /spoiler the. Click spoiler message
ah alright
Gino it's much easier to just do this ||
no i was asking cuz thats not what it does
Also the spoiler command doesn't work if you edit it in
||It does take away I-Frames though||
Also that's the good thing about hk it doesn't restrict u there's a bunch of different ways and routes that all lead u to the same goal at the end of the game of u want to move on to ||fw|| that's fine and normal but there's also many other ways u can progress
You can get to ||Crystal Peaks before Greenpath||
Yeah ik u can go at any time
but how
no you need that one thing
But don't just blatantly say
let them explore
I wasn't talking to them though 
But they could look
People shouldn't just tap spoilers that don't relate to them
||The activation||
We are still talking about it he could still feel included in the conversation
do u still need help with ||pv|| 😔
||You can get there two ways Lantern or Dive. You can get to Crystal Peaks before Greenpath by saving 1800 geo and buying lantern||
oh fr
Mhm
Yes but
||Going to Crystal Peak Before Greenpath is basically useless unless you're a challenge runner and know some Glitches like Slope ball||
Shrue
If I even said the name of the thing correctly-
Though if you get ||Dash and then go to peaks I think you can get C Dash||
Wait no
You need ||claw|| too
Yeah
It's possible to do it without ||dash|| but it needs some ||Stall Ball||
is it necessary to get all mask shards
not always :D
Nope
But it makes the game easier
@south cobalt u there
If you want 112%
...wait
We can do ||CDash Parkour without any Stall Ball||?
I heard about… steel ball?
No
Oh yeah spoiler this
Delete this iirc
bro theres no reason to post this
catbrown is disappointed in you
||it's Stall Ball
Basically using Vengeful Spirit to Stay in the Air a little bit longer and push yourself a little bit backwards
It's a Speedrun Trick||
Ik ik
Nooooo
||that is not what a stall ball (also known as slope ball nowadays) is. A stall ball is where u casts fireball at specific sloped geometries in order to slope the fireball downwards and pogo ur own fireball to gain height. What u have described here is simply referred to as a fireball skip or a fireball stall||
basically ||you can get to claw from greenpath with queen’s station fireball skip||
it’s not ||stallball but it’s still a little tricky, the rest of the low% route doesn’t really require stallball, just a lot of precise walljumps and dboosts and pogos and stuff||
oh i see, we didn’t know what ||stallball/slopeball|| was
fair enough
Huh
Thought it was called ||slope ball|| and ||stall ball is the one where you Stall in Air||
In my defense
||I saw the word Stall and I thought of Stalling in the Air||
yeah that’s understandable
||I am stuck on failed champion fight😓 I know your gonna say "oh but it's the easiest dream boss" but I just need a charm builds and a strategy please||
||It's arguably the hardest dream boss tbh||
Well can I get help?
||What charms do you have and how many notches, also what's your Playstyle?||
||I have 10 notches||
Good build 
Wait so my build is good already?
Yeah
||Though I'd say get rid of G Song for NMG||
||Great Slash big damage||
Yeah
Idk I haven't fought him in ages 
||Ok nevermind. I'ma just get void heart in meantime||
How can i ||put the delicate flower that woman fast I can?||
What?
Have u tried the cheese yet
||use the tram from resting grounds to crossroads then use the entrance to fog canyon which needs isma's tear, then go past teacher's archives and enter queen's garden using the path close to mileebee banker lady, go to queen's gardens and put the flower near a grave close above the stag of queen gardens||
||a general tip for pv is that u can prejump all of his attacks||. but anything specific about ||pv|| u r struggling with?
i actuly just beat ||pv|| 3 times in a row (im prepairing for|| p4|| ) and i think im fine now thankyou for the help tho
any tips for ||sly||? i even dont know what to do
for phase 1, ||just walk away from him and dash under and punish his rising spinny thing, you can shade soul the slam if you feel like it||
phase 2 is kinda something you need to get a feel for firsthand imo
oh okay, he is hard
takes a bit of getting used to, yes
i haven't played hk in a while, should i restart a new file or continue where i left off?
cause i feel like there's going to be a massive skill gap
im at the ||white palace|| section of the game
all the ||spells and upgrades i've collected, barring from the pure nail||
||all im missing is monomom rn ||
personally whenever i come back to a game after a while, i like to restart regardless of progress
i have collected all the avaiblible ||charms i could geta||
yea i thought so too
i last played like a few months ago
more fun that way imo
and i really struggled against ||mantis lords with all the spell upgraded||
||i had the second to last nail upgrade too qwq||
||i only did mantis lords for the charm collecting||
was debating on getting mods too
specifically 2
one for a different knight skin cause i saw one at fireborn's that looked really cute
and a voice over mod
Dont do that
Id get 112 vanilla first before doing mods
i do know lots of people who play through with custom knight tho
but yeah mods are for the most part a postgame thing
Custom knight is the most okay (although some change some serious stuff (||little rad and such||)) but I still wouldn't recommend it
i mean it doesn't change the game much though, just gives em some vocalisation
Thats what you think
I think you'll come back in 20 hours asking the same question everyone does that hasn't played the game before
i was planning on getting the ||true ending with the white palace charm, then soaking it in void||
fair ig qwq
i spent way too long going over the wiki so im not completely clueless
but anything past the ||white palace|| and some item locations i'll forget
oh yea are we supposed to get ||fury of the fallen at the start?||
||i've sorta just nail pogo'd||
mildy confused on what the fuck to do once again qwq
i got the map, failed a buncha pogos trying to get ||grub and a mask shard||
and also ||i got dirtmouth stag||
could someone help me with ||hornet 2||
||question about the charm weaversongs, how close do you need to be to the enemy for them to attack||
Any specific attacks you are struggling with
Did you go to the center of the map
haven't done ||false knight yet, that ik but i intend to do later||
Why
||@polar flicker what cheese?||
what do you have
equipment and charms
I have 25 charms
||Grimm, weaversong, grubsong, quick focus, and that one the reduces cost of spells||
Use spoiler tags
uhh, basically all of those suck in this fight except for the last one
what do you have
in terms of charms
In a bit, lemme try to get this bih
||for the platforms phase just stay in the middle and don't chase her down||
||let her teleport to you and be patient||
thanks
ill get the ||3 prong fork bitch now||
ah
it would occur to me that i suck at platforming
spoiler tag the image
me did
heh?
prob discord bugging out
im broke
also it looks like you're chasing too hard
aw man
try something like ||grimmchild + quick focus -> shaman + soul catcher|| maybe
you seem to be really undergeared
What is the black charm you have in the first
I wouldn't click on images not directed towards you
then howd i get my passive soul? my little bird brain cant handle both attacking and dodging
Will just spoiler you
You dont have to attack while dodging
I want that charm how to get it
youll get it when you get it
||you still get it?||
shhhhhh
Can you send a screenshot of your inventory
||weaversong + grubsong is soul||
ye ye that
do it like this?
yeah
time to ball?
sure
hell yeah
the build is kinda sketchy but you're missing a lot of really good charms
||infinite spells though||
which ones? so that i can get them if im getting sick of it
want me to drop names
hell yeah
||unbreakable strength (looks like divine might already have your charm though) and quickslash||
oh
||Guys what do I do with the Grimm child I fought the big Grimm dude and now I got the other 3 flames after that||
||collect vro's flames||
||If you got the flames, go back to the tent||
I just have the ||flames ||
wait ||normal grimm or NKG||
I did
Normal
So what's the issue
Shouldn’t the ||child|| grow more
Look at the particles
exit and reenter?
What do they make you think of
So use the thing r||elated to dreams in your inventoru||
|| failed champion, lost kin, soul tyrant, white defender and nightmare king grimm|| are still locked in || hall of gods and i have finished p5|| and also discord doesnt let me send images so dont ask for || hall of gods tablet||. what should i do?
||any tips for radiant watcher knights? Every single time. Without fail. My run is ended by their ground rolling attack. Istg every single time one of them will come rolling at me off screen ridiculously fast and every time a jump I will just barely clip their hit box. Getting in a full jump over them is infuriating. I swear they start at max speed sometimes. Other times it’ll be a coordinated roll where they impeccably time it so they’ve just created an 8ft hit box hell wall that is impossible to do anything about||
|| try using disolate dive when their bouncing or rollin||
|| it will actually makes you invincible for like 1 sec||
||they always roll when offscreen||
does any one know what should i do?
||when they they're rolling in sync just ddark||
||Guys how do I get voidseeker? I think I have one half of it but I don't know how to get the other half. Is it easy to get or not worth it?||
Try to when I can but by the time I’ve activated the I frames aren’t active or the two of them are bunched together with a massive hit box I can’t dash out of
you have to do it in anticipation
not as a reaction
it sounds like your game is just bugged
So when I think they could be coming towards me?
|| you can dash after disolate dive|| just spam the || dash|| button
yes
ask in the modding help or discussion channels
ok thanks
any ideas???
Jumping is hard because I don’t want to be jumping around that much when the other one is smashing all over the place, what should I do if I see one rolling towards me?
|| if you saw their rollin jump. if their bouncing dash. and if one is rolling and one bouncing jump and dash mid air||
or ||ddark||
if they start doing this then just ||ddark in anticipation||
you have to anticipate their attacks
be ready
you can't just react once they start doing them
Thanks for the advice, I tried to react as I saw them, not anticipate the attacks, definitely try that here and in other fights
can any body tell me what should i do ??
You need to hit the|| normal variant with dream nail ||
||you did fight them outside of godhome at some point right?||
yes i did and i even defeated || white defender 3 times||
but in || god home its locked even though i finished p5||
yes. ||their name is there. but its locked. its a circle just where a stick must be for me to hit||
||dream nail the statue||
it was me. i just didnt hit it correctly😅
Any help for ||malwek||
I'm still struggling
Somehow I just keep.jumping perfectly into its attacks
There's basically no need to jump
I had a lot of issues when I first tried to fight him. It was worse than ||Nosk|| for me.
Fr
Just lost another run
might want to work on ||mawlek specifically instead of pantheon attempts||
Yeah
Switched from ||strength to mop, seem to be doing better in hog now||
||are you backing off after getting a hit||
like which attacks are mostly hitting you
||I'm backing off from the slash, and then getting hit by the blobs
Either that or I'm barely getting a hit in and slashed before I can dash away||
||for the blobs try kind of looking up most of the time||
||i can show you a vid of how I deal damage with the slashes||
||cyclone slash also works but it's a tad unorthodox||
||steady bod??||
yeah?
||pogo over the triple slash and lunge, shade dash through the knives||
Dude how do ||pogo over the triple slash the hitbox too big I've died when he was staggered just trying to ddark on him||
here's one where i use ||cyclone to space out the slashes||
you can ||pogo the nail itself||
Oh what about ||dive|| and the ||dark tendrils||
Alr imma try this thanks
||for the dive just keep in mind that the spike positions are relative to pv, not the arena
just double jump for the dark tendrils, or jump -> dash to pv -> pogo/ddark||
K thx
you can also ||shriek him during the dive attack||
it's kind of hard to explain
Yeah ik how but it's a tight space
How do i fix me not being able to click inventory with my controller? Nothings happening when i click the inventory button?
On keybored it works fine but on controller nothing is happening
here's a vid of all the dodges i use if that helps
|| can i do the pantheon ending and go for hollow knight/radiance next on the same save? ||
Yeah
||yes, you reset to your last bench after beating the game||
When a good time to heal
||the double jump out of his focus attack is a bad habit btw, it's probably safer to just ddark||
||during the staggers or the focus attack||
never any other time
Ok
Works fine now after enabling steam input
just use the soul i use for ||shade souls|| to heal
you should have plenty enough soul for this fight
Any specific charms?
i'm using ||quick slash + strength + shaman + steady body||
last slot is ||dream wielder|| but it's not doing anything there
maybe ||grubsong||
I've been using ||strength qs shaman soul catch||
||Tips for the last phase of soul tyrant? I get through his fist phase fine but I can’t consistently doge his slam attack||
||Get in a rythem of jumping and then dashing midair||
||Thanks, managed to get him on radiant after getting into the rhythm||
||does hes shoot shockwaves form his dive in the second phase||
no
||if not u can just dash away from him and wait till he shoots the balls||
great then^_^
Why doesn't ||spore shroom hit pv..||
Gas mask
why are you using ||spore shroom|| in ||pv||
WHERE is ||elegant key|| 
||sly||

What files do I need to copy to backup my save
Is it the ones that are in the resources folder?
?tag savefaq
Save Files
What do save files looks like?
- Each Hollow Knight save file is a
user#.datwhere#is the save slot for the file - You can rename
user3.dattouser1.datto set it to your first save slot - You can keep a copy of all of your save files by copy and pasting them into a different folder on your computer
Reverting Backups
- Automatic backups are called
user#.dat.bak#, where the first#is the save slot, and the second#is the backup number. You will usually have your last three backups - You restore a backup by deleting the main file, and then removing the
.bak#part of the backup version
Modded Saves
- A modded save may also have a
user#.modded.json(and similarly named backup). This file and theuser#.datare part of the save
Where are the files?
- On windows, the default path for Save Files is:
%appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\- You should just copy and paste that path directly into the File Explorer path bar at the top.
- For other operating systems (and Xbox Games), type
?tag savesinto chat
I need a specific type of save file
- Various save files can be found in the "Saves" section of this page: https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/resources
- If the file you download is a
.raror other archived format, then you will need to extract it with something like 7zip
- If the file you download is a
Editing save files
- MoreSaves: With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the Menu, by going to Options > Mods > MoreSaves
- QoL: Opening a save with QOL installed will create an extra save file called
user#.json, which can be edited using Notepad or a similar text editor - DebugMod: While not an intended purpose, you can edit some parts of your save file using Debug, such as Nail Damage, and those changes will remain even after uninstalling the mod

Any particular aspects?
YES ||NKG||
Please add spoiler tags to your message
how
Put || to both sides of it
okay
Whats the ||highest difficulty|| have you beaten him on in ||hog||
||Ascended||
||Do Radiant or no balls||
okay i couldn't do ||Radiant|| and whats the other one means
If you're still unable to do him consistently in the ||pantheon|| it might be worth it to learn ||radiant||, beat them a few more times on ||ascended|| or beat him around 3 times in a row on ||attuned||
ill try that if this attempt is a failure
Good luck
||Just abuse nail arts on NKG or something like that, and stay calm, that is what you usually should do||
thx
3 masks is not ideal to go with
||Well you could also consider using Shape of Unn cause he allows you to heal with it during some attacks (mainly the one with flame pillars spawning bel0w you), so you could heal up?||
i will try that but my current build isnt that bad at all
gg
tis my first time seeing someone recommend ||shape of unn|| 
Ikr
The only other time someone could recommend is ||pop and pale it allows some skips||
||shape of unn|| didnt really help
dw bro just do it normally
EXACTLY HOW WITH 3 MASKS
why do u have 3 health
BECAUSE team cherry added ||failed champion|| before ||NKG||
||I imagine that's because failed champion is one you can farm heals off of, with ot without exploits.||
technically yes
