P3 is too hard

[robust ridge]

[sinful vortex]

||honestly when I was attempting radiance I kinda just like facetanked THK I didn’t even bother dodging I just focused on hitting it until it fell over and died so that I could go back to the 80th radiance attempt||

[hard hedge]

[robust ridge]

||What happens in pantheon if u destroy the ritual of the Grimm troupe?||

||do u still fight nightmare Grimm?||

[worthy whale]

[sinful vortex]

Ah

[coarse nest]

Okay I'm worsening I just died to fuckin ||gorb|| I should take a break

[robust ridge]

[lavish igloo]

Thanks

I DID IT

[scenic egret]

gg

[vapid steppe]

||There's three final bosses. Thk, Radiance, and AbsRad all count||

[robust ridge]

bruh use spoilers

read the channel pins

nah

I'll let someone else deal with you

[rose rivet]

Is there any specific place where I can look up all the boss-speedrun strats? Like, for example I heard that ||dung defender|| is perfectly determenistic if you do it the right way, but I'd like to actually see how to do it.

[robust ridge]

y'know what sure you can have what you want actually

have fun

<@&283547423706447872>

[livid shoal]

Hai FTHAW

[robust ridge]

some guy's ban baiting

slow modding day

[rough ice]

does any one have a ||good charm build for pantheon 5?||

[vapid steppe]

||I use Quick Slash, Shaman Stone, Strength, and Spell twister||

[rough ice]

ty,i'll try that ||charm build||

[robust ridge]

The build they recommended is basically the best, though you can switch out ||spell twister for steady body + one of grubsong/dream wielder/nailmaster's glory|| if you want

[hoary anvil]

i personally use a hybrid nail/heal build for survival, ||quick slash/strength + quick focus/shape of unn. of note, strength helps a ton vs collector by allowing you to ohko the ascended arena adds||

[quartz snow]

||I just tried to make a backup to do the achievement to banish the Grimm Troupe, I saved all the Hollow Knight files, did the achievement, replaced them, but I'm still on the save where I banned the Grimm Troupe, does anyone know if there's a way to recover it?|| 😭

[robust ridge]

You could try renaming all the backed up files to save 2 so that it makes a copy in your second save slot, I think

also I'm pretty sure you need to spoiler the ||Grimm troupe|| stuff

[quartz snow]

ok, sorry 😭

[robust ridge]

nah you're good

[quartz snow]

I copied like all the hollow knight files, I think I'm cooked,,,,,,,,,

[robust ridge]

not too sure how to help then sorry

well can't you restore the files to where they were before you tried to replace your current one?

you also do need to get at least a second 100% playthrough for all achievements anyways, you could just do it there

[quartz snow]

okk, thanks for the help :D

[tribal blade]

|| How can i beat The boss of queen gardens||

[robust ridge]

which one?

if you mean the ||big one just stand next to it all the time- if it prepares a dash, dash into it, and if it jumps, stay still so it jumps over you||

[drowsy yarrow]

idk if there's a guide, although you can look up the ||p5|| world record. For hitless, you can pick one of the faster times from the ||r5|| victors list to watch. ||Dung defender|| isn't actually perfectly deterministic, just his starting moves are.

[south cobalt]

What does the ||god tuner do?||

[robust ridge]

||it shows a little icon every time you beat what the game considers a boss for the first time

that's it ||

||if you down slash them you get bounced super high||

[modest quest]

wow. how did I not think of that

thx

[jade sedge]

Please delete the images since they arent spoiler tagged

[robust ridge]

dw this happens to new players all the time lol

[robust ridge]

they are though?

oh wait are they just not loading

[modest quest]

-# the images in question

[opaque coral]

||can i go to the godhome 2% chance place more than 1 time?||

[robust ridge]

nope

[opaque coral]

FUCK

i got out to early bru

[robust ridge]

||actually if you didn't talk to the godseeker idk||

[opaque coral]

wdym

[robust ridge]

||you normally get out by talking to the godseeker in the wall||

[opaque coral]

nono not that one

oh wait it is

that one

dont you get out by ||interacting with the tunning device?||

[keen wren]

do u get the ||first ending by defecting thk?||

[opaque coral]

yes

[keen wren]

then how do i get the other ones?

[opaque coral]

||you need a charm called kingsoul||

[robust ridge]

oh maybe

i've never been there

not sure then

[keen wren]

ohh

[opaque coral]

||and then you need to turn it into another charm||

that i wont say the name of it

[keen wren]

ik what ur talking abt but thats ||3 currently out of 5||

[robust ridge]

||a secret area in waterways||

[opaque coral]

||then you beat the 5th patheon||

youll figure out what that is eventually

[keen wren]

ik what it is lol when i was new i saw a video that spoiled that part for me

[opaque coral]

then to get the last one

you need to give ||a delicate flower to the patheon guy||

[keen wren]

oh

[opaque coral]

my bad

||then finish p5||

[keen wren]

whats ||p5?||

[opaque coral]

||patheon 5||

[keen wren]

oh

[opaque coral]

but thats some late game stuff

[keen wren]

yeah okay ty gotta work on that then also does it give u like a cutscreen like ||how thk did||

[opaque coral]

yes

||different one for each ending||

[keen wren]

okay ty again

[opaque coral]

np

[dawn belfry]

||ye I did today||

First time ever

I did it in a total of 18 hours

[keen wren]

Dang 13hrs nice I completed it in like 28-33hrs

That’s for only the ||first ending||

The rest I gotta do

[dawn belfry]

Lol

[robust umbra]

[robust umbra]

Oh ty

[opaque coral]

np

[robust umbra]

Anyways i wanted to ask for tips on how to beat ||absolute radiance||

[robust ridge]

which parts?

[robust umbra]

The 2nd part

[robust ridge]

||platforms phase? stay in the middle and don't chase her, but rather wait for her to come to you

If it looks like you're going to end up in a bad situation use dive||

[frail musk]

About how far in percentage-wise to the end of the ||Trial of the Fool|| am I if anyone knows? I just wiped to the monsters after the ||Garpede swarm.||

I feel like that was probably like twenty percent in 💀

[robust ridge]

||the first garpede swarm?||

[frail musk]

Apparently yes lol

[robust ridge]

you were exactly right lol

[frail musk]

https://tenor.com/view/riverdale-more-what-theres-more-gif-12209010

[frail musk]

Lmao, I guess I am learning this game

[robust umbra]

Ight thank you ill see how it goes

[robust ridge]

||if you're not fully geared up you might want to come back later- trial of the fool is the hardest challenge the game has to offer excluding some dlc stuff||

[wispy escarp]

please, tell me ||methods to get to sly/salubra without killing gruz mother. im using mod rn and this mod have super strong, empowered gruzz mother. you can get to them via blue lake. But if you want to get to blue lake, i found only 3 ways, red one need to complete spider location without lantern (cant get to sly!!!), Green one is literally one or 2 blind rooms but with alot of THESE FLYING BRATS, Orange one is just wtf how long to go and how much to do.||

||please, help me, idk, how to get to sly and salubra, giveme lantern and shaman stone, PLEASE||

[robust ridge]

||do you already have dive? you'd need that for peaks||

[wispy escarp]

*This problem is on the save where i ||have only lvl1 dive, lvl1 vengeful spirit, single nail upgrade without pale ores, and im also steel soul||

[robust ridge]

||iirc the peaks long dark room to dnail isn't too bad if you get cdash, there's a nice setup using 2-3 cdashes to get across (you'll hit walls to stop)||

[robust ridge]

oh ||steel soul|| changes things

[oblique ridge]

Is ||Grubberfly's Elogy|| worth grinding for?

[harsh surge]

Hi, I have a question about a boss. ||if I haven't fought Grimm Nightmare because I chose the ending to finish off the company and not collect the flames, can I fight him in Home of the Gods?||

[robust ridge]

the easiest route is probably yellow
the quickest route might be red but yellow is way faster than you think

[wispy escarp]

||Yes,|| you find him in the ||5th pantheon||

[shut sparrow]

the yellow path doesn't work

[jade sedge]

||You can just go to the broken elevator after dung defender and climb up||

[harsh surge]

Okay, ty

[shut sparrow]

please tag that

[robust ridge]

your yellow route is kinda scuffed btw, it goes through multiple ||one-way breakable walls||

[jade sedge]

||Also theres no dark rooms in deepnest before tram pass iirc||

[robust ridge]

the eaiest way to accomplish yellow is ||waterways -> dung defender -> break the wall afterwards -> up the pit to city -> king's station -> elevator||

[shut sparrow]

it's pretty bad. If you don't wanna 100% the game you probably don't wanna go for it

[robust ridge]

oh

[wispy escarp]

Almost whole freaking location

[robust ridge]

i might be a professional snail

[oblique ridge]

Alright, thanks

[robust ridge]

yeah (i just realized how cursed all these routes are)

[wispy escarp]

||You are right. Please tell me, whats better, yellow path or try to do green path? im still have pause menu if i get 1hp. wich pieces of ground let you fly w crystal heart to bridge across this room? alr got crystal heart.||

[jade sedge]

If you dont mind skips, ||you can also stallball from city fountain to right city||

[robust ridge]

||yellow||

[wispy escarp]

how

[jade sedge]

How to ||stallball|| in general? Ask in #speedrunning. Though you should probably just do ||yellow through broken elevator||, its a lot easier

[simple island]

that is insanely hard btw

like that stallball is probably one of the hardest of all

[jade sedge]

Oh damn

[simple island]

but yeah ||dung or tram pass|| if you are afraid of dung is the easiest way through

[coral shuttle]

HUGE Spoilers!
||I'm aiming for 112% completion before I beat the game, I'm at 109%.||
||But I don't know what I'm missing, I have the inventory done (Expept for the God tuner for the pantheons) masks, soul pieces, abilities, spells and their shadow respectives, and nail.
Even the hunters mark.||
Does ||Competing the Godmaster pantheons count towards 112% in any way?||

[wispy escarp]

||DUNG defender is like 1 try to kill boss, hes easy, but im afraid of spiders (these ones w shield) much more than most bosses in the game bruh||

[wispy escarp]

yes, first ||4 pantheons give 1% each||

[coral shuttle]

Can I finish the game and then do the rest of ||Godmaster?||

[wispy escarp]

||i mean spiders from spider loc||

[wispy escarp]

||you can go to last save each time you finish game, its absolutely normal||

[simple island]

each ||pantheon gives 1% and the godtuner itself is 1%
if you are at 109 you have already done some, you need 4||

those are probably the last few % you wanna do

[coral shuttle]

Alr great thank you!

[wispy escarp]

||5th does not give you %||

[coral shuttle]

Ohh that's why

[simple island]

they don't know it exists but yes

[coral shuttle]

What about the ||hogs?||

[simple island]

that is just for practice

no %

[coral shuttle]

I knew

[simple island]

if you are at 109, the last 3 % are ||p2, p3 and p4||

(assuming you haven't done those, which seems to be the case)

[coral shuttle]

||Ohh ok, but what does beating the radiant versions of everything do then?||

[simple island]

a journal entry

[wispy escarp]

https://reznormichael.github.io/hollow-knight-completion-check

[coral shuttle]

Yeah that's all I'm missing

[wispy escarp]

just a small journal entry and somth like a small statue of yourself. its mostly for practice

[simple island]

and bragging rights

[wispy escarp]

thanks you alot. i hope it will help me

[wispy escarp]

is this ok, that i just placed link here? im using that and its cool

[robust ridge]

yeah

[wispy escarp]

cool

[wispy escarp]

can you tell me some skips? i want to know, if i dont know somth abt skips in hollow knight

[robust ridge]

uhh I have class like rn for the next 2 hours so can you ask someone else

[simple island]

usually people tag the link, cuz... ||greenpath bench|| but

[robust ridge]

I forgor

[wispy escarp]

||btw i got crystal peak pale ore without monarch wings before got into city of tears first time, when i was doing my first playthrough||

[wispy escarp]

how strange i am?

[robust ridge]

uh that's not that weird

[wispy escarp]

|| literally no dive and just farm guy near forgotten crossroads wich give 45 geo until get the lantern, then get cdash, then do all that skips||

[keen wren]

question ||if i beat thk already can i go back and defect radience||

[wispy escarp]

||who is thk? i forgot||

[robust ridge]

||yes you will respawn at your last bench as if the ending never happened||

[keen wren]

||the hollow knight||

[keen wren]

||okay but will i have to kill thk again?||

[wispy escarp]

||anyway you get to your save like you was not completed game each time when you complete game||

[robust ridge]

in fact you probably should do so so you don't lock yourself out of ||the hollow knight ending||

[robust ridge]

yes

[wispy escarp]

||most hes hp, but dont have to do last part||

[keen wren]

||is that the true ending?||

[wispy escarp]

https://tenor.com/view/writing-book-true-taking-notes-hollow-knight-gif-7458992073295115957

[hoary anvil]

does the person behind this still exist?
-# it'd be great if the fact that ||fog canyon map glow|| is missing could be fixed

[robust ridge]

no, the normal one

[wispy escarp]

||Beat the radience is true ending.||

[keen wren]

oh well i been done with ||thk just not the radience||

[keen wren]

oh ok

[wispy escarp]

||btw can someone tell me why is this true? why not like pantheons ending?||

[robust ridge]

misnomer from before those ones were added

[wispy escarp]

||why is it true on lore?||

[robust ridge]

it isn't

people just decided to call it that

[wispy escarp]

oh, wth

thanks you alot

[frail musk]

||Oh really 🤡. I don’t have all the charms, but I think I was using Soul Catcher, Grubsong, Unbreakable Strength, and Quick Heal.||

[hollow bramble]

I think come back later

[frail musk]

Alright lol

[keen wren]

guys im trying to beat ||3nd trial in collo what charms should i switch to beat it i have on quick slash, shamon, soul cacher, and grubsong||

[shut sparrow]

||shaman, catcher and grubsong are really good. Quick focus not so much for colo. Can you send a spoiler tagged image of the charms you have?||

[keen wren]

i dont have ||quick focus on i have quick slash||

but heres a photo

[shut sparrow]

I meant ||quickslash||

[keen wren]

oh ok

[shut sparrow]

||I'd use twister or shape of unn and naimaster's glory instead of quick slash||

make sure you remember to use ||a lot of nailarts and even more spells||

[keen wren]

tbh i suck with using || nailart bc idk how to like jump and dodge when having it charge up||

[shut sparrow]

||you get used to it. When people get nailarts usually their reaction is "I find that hard to use" and they end up not using it. Similar to spells this is just a matter of practice though. Of course a new ability will need some time to get used to and master.||

[keen wren]

true

[hoary anvil]

sounds like controller to me, correct?
(as a keyboard player looking at them in a vacuum, i think the keybinds for attack could get swapped with quick map or something)

[shut sparrow]

idk if ur asking for help but this channel is generally not for modded content

[ripe merlin]

mairo

[spark pivot]

Guys im actually crashing out

||Path of pain last room 💀💀💀💀 ||

[ripe merlin]

you can pogo by holding down and pressing your nail button

[spark pivot]

My first playthough of hollow knight

Its just so annoying

Not the game just this room 😭

[shut sparrow]

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

[spark pivot]

Oh sorry

||its just that last part where you have to pogo then dash, turn around and double jump||

[robust ridge]

how do you do the ||infinite radiance hits thing||

like with the ||pogos||

I can only chain 5-6 before falling

[hard hedge]

good luck

[shut sparrow]

you mean ||facedancing?|| There was a convo about this in hkt

[robust ridge]

yeah that

I'll check it out

[spark pivot]

Thanks so much!! I beat it finally !! 😊

[shut sparrow]

congrats!!

[robust ridge]

you just have to use your ||spells|| to kill them, can't run

also you need || on both sides

||like this||

you gotta delete the image because it isn't tagged btw

[sour vigil]

Does anyone have any tips for ||failed champion|| cause I suck

[gloomy oxide]

alright thx

[robust ridge]

these enemies kinda suck there's no easy way to do them

[gloomy oxide]

|| no wonder it's called city of tears||

[robust ridge]

these are the worst enemies in the game imo

[gloomy oxide]

This isn't a boss yet but I'm already struggling

[boreal idol]

I have a question If i die in path of Pain Where will i loose my shade?

[west ice]

||yo guys i have played dis game for 18 hours so far i got madelien dive dunno whats it called and got the dash and mantis claw as well as like the super dash in the crystal place and i also got a combat ability that makes u like explode||

[robust ridge]

na i ask if like am i progressing slowly or fast or average

[stoic cedar]

why does that matter? just play the game and have fun

[west ice]

i guess your right tbh right now am trying to find ||shrines to get more essences cuz that weird ant guy saying he giving me smth good||

[celest shadow]

||Could someone give me a hint of what area I should go to once I have the King's brand?||

[radiant raft]

Go poke around the ||Ancient Basin’s main room||

Particularly the bottom area.

[celest shadow]

@radiant raft thank you so much.

This game truly is one of the most beautiful games I have ever played. It's challenging but rewarding. I know I'm preaching to the choir.

[tall yoke]

||best charms for hive fight?||

[ornate bison]

I use ||sharp shadow||

[keen wren]

for me i used ||quick slash, shamon, soul catcher and if u have another slot then grubsong||

[tall yoke]

thanks I'll try it out

[keen wren]

yw i tryed just getting as much hits as i can but dodging at the same time

make sure to use ur ||spells||

[hard hedge]

||use quick slash, mask, etc so u can use nail a lot, or using tanky build||

[hollow bramble]

Gah spoilers

[tall yoke]

spoilerrr

[hollow bramble]

Anyways the strat to best any boss is to run it down until you’ve learned how to respond to every move

[tall yoke]

and yess i tried and gave up

[tall yoke]

||hive fight is such a pain in mu ass cuz the bench so far away||

so i try and try but omg 🥲

[hard hedge]

aight

[hollow bramble]

What r the main reasons for taking dmg

[tall yoke]

||his teleport attacks, and the spike balls||

[hollow bramble]

||teleport just jump and pogo him for spikes it’s kinda hard but u can always ddark to dodge||

[tall yoke]

thanks! im so terrible at the combat i should get a award or something😓 took me 55 hours to just beat the game

[hollow bramble]

Man who said hollow knight was easy

[tall yoke]

my s/o did 💔🥀

he was like "oh the games to easy and relaxing" buddy you play seige and cod to calm down 💔

[topaz reef]

i uh spent like 90

although tbf i did get busy just exploring not treally doing anything lol

[tall yoke]

omg😭😭

[topaz reef]

i got lost and just ran around for a good portion of the game

although i am at 109% sooo it payed off

and i did ||path of pain||

[green tulip]

I know that ||flukenest|| is broken, but is there a specific way to use it that makes it broken? If so, is there a guide or tutorial on how to abuse it?

[stoic cedar]

hello, please spoiler your message as per channel rules

[green tulip]

Sorry, new here

There we go

[hollow bramble]

||flukenest is like a shotgun but the bullets still do dmg on the floor||

[green tulip]

I know how it works, I am just looking for a guide on how to use it like speedrunners do

[hollow bramble]

get close and use it, or use it in a place where you know an enemy will be

[frail musk]

Crap

Can anyone point me in the direction of my last three ||Charms|| without too many spoilers :)?

[coarse nest]

Have you explored all areas?

I mean I'm assuming you have, that's a dumb question mb

For the ||one between the two blue charms, look for a similar motif somewhere in the lower parts of the map||

The one before the ||blue ones is at the end of a route that you most likely haven't gone through, but it's an earlier area so look at your map for any unexplored routes||

[hollow bramble]

||the one beside shaman stone is in resting grounds||

[hoary anvil]

also there's one in ||crystal peaks||

for both ||resting grounds and peaks||, keep an eye out for ||breakable walls||

[shut sparrow]

||I recommend asking in #speedrunning
Flukenest changed over the different versions so I'm not sure how it works currently. It's definitely just good if you use it for its cheese mechanics. Otherwise for a basic playthrough I wouldn't recommend it||

[coarse nest]

Afaik current patch it leaves ||lingering hitboxes when cast, so an enemy leaving and entering the hitboxes causes multiple hits||

Not the most broken it's ever been, but still pretty broken

[hollow wigeon]

How long should it take to defeat ||NKG||

[tranquil oriole]

like the length of a successful fight, or how many attempts?

[hollow wigeon]

attempts

[tranquil oriole]

i remember my first time being around 20?

idk

it can take some time

[hollow wigeon]

what did you use for your charm build?

[tranquil oriole]

i think it was probably something like ||strength, mark of pride, shaman stone||

i don’t remember exactly

[hollow wigeon]

ok thank you

[shut sparrow]

it can vary between less than an hour to multiple days or even weeks. Don't compare yourself to others imo

[hollow wigeon]

I got so much further thank you 😭

[hollow wigeon]

oh ok

[hollow bramble]

SPOILERS GAHHHHH

[jade sedge]

Please add spoiler tags to your messages or delete them

[hollow wigeon]

ok

How do i remove hollow knight achievements?? I opened a save file and i got a ton of achievements. I mostly concerened about steam achievements tho.
If i removed the steam achievement can i get it again?

*save file for || path of pain because i wanted to see it. I got this off the internet ||

[jade sedge]

https://youtu.be/NcCjGLfajFw?si=qClMGKejvlzb-nob here I found that

[vital rover]

||does anyone know when to heal in broken vessel boss fight?||

[hoary anvil]

||staggers if no balloons are near, also right after dodging flail||

specific charms make it a lot easier, so if i could see what you have that'd be useful

-# or if you don't care about spoiling yourself, ||defender's crest one shots the balloons allowing you to ignore them while healing||, and the less likely to be obtained ||shape of unn allows you to move away from them, and grants extra move speed for that with quick focus||

[vital rover]

thank youu

[wide stream]

||I am really struggling with NKG can anyone help? I have every single thing in game.||

[stoic cedar]

any specific attacks u r struggling with?

[wide stream]

||Struggling with uppercut because everytime I try and dash through him when I think he is ready to do it he just scuttles back and does it when my shade dash is on cool down||

||I'm also having trouble timing his flame bats||

[livid shoal]

||Dash through first one jump over second||

[stoic cedar]

||for the dash uppercut u can try dashing away from him instead (so in the same direction as his dash). then stay right next to where he went up for the uppercut to avoid the falling flames. for the bats attack there are a few ways to deal with it but one good way would be to jump over the first bat and dash towards nkg||

[sacred wren]

Try ||dashing away instead of towards||

If you do ||dash towards, start casting a DDark immediately||

[livid shoal]

Me when I have a jump button:

[wide stream]

Wait that's in a way. Actually helps. Thanks!

||Should I try and use any health charms like lifeblood charms or unbreakable heart?||

Because at this rate I can only take 5 hits

[sacred wren]

Not really worth it

[sacred wren]

You can't jump over ||uppercut's flames; they literally fall from above||

The ||DDark is to be safe from a flame regardless of position||

[livid shoal]

||I thought we were talking about flame bats,.,.,..,||

[sacred wren]

Ah, I ||replied to the message talking about uppercut||

[vital rover]

||is simple key one time use?||

[livid shoal]

||Yeah but there are multiple||

[vital rover]

okay thanks

[west ice]

yo i need help || there is a weird satutue in ancient basin in a foutain and it says if i want to drop my money or not what does it do?||

[safe gust]

what are you struggling with

exactly

[limpid ibex]

Dodging, but mostly after he finishes a love I struggle to get to him to punish him. And his fake outs mess with me

[west ice]

i got 6k geo vro

[limpid ibex]

No, I was told by a friend I get that way later.

[safe gust]

tbh not worth it unless ur doing 112%

[limpid ibex]

Takes too long

[safe gust]

like to dodge

[limpid ibex]

I see

[neat karma]

[safe gust]

sorry i didnt know

[limpid ibex]

My bad, I wont do it again

[safe gust]

how do i make a spoiler i forgor

[neat karma]

Read this message

[safe gust]

oh rigt

bruh

[neat karma]

If you need to know anything else about the rules then the pinned messages should tell you all you need

Whats the need to mention that when (from the message that i saw) theyre not even close to discovering it

[safe gust]

idk

so i dont have to do it later

[neat karma]

Lets just be safe and not mention stuff they may not know about because if they care about spoilers youd be spoiling that

[safe gust]

||am i the only one who gets monarch wings before city .-.||

[neat karma]

No but its not too common either

[safe gust]

alr at least im not a complete freak

[sacred wren]

This was patched

[tiny harness]

doesn't work anymore?

[sacred wren]

||Being near the entrance to the Grey Mansion automatically sets the Knight's save point to the Bench just outside.||

[tiny harness]

oh

[sacred wren]

It's still there on the console versions, I think

But not on current PC

[tiny harness]

dang it

i tough it worked

sorry about that

[west ice]

yo guys what doesn || elegent key do||

[sacred wren]

It opens up ||a door somewhere in the City of Tears||

[west ice]

alr thanks

[thick wing]

||I’ve been thinking about doing the pantheons with bindings, is it worth doing it one binding at a time if I’m considering doing them all at the same time? Or should I just go straight to all bindings||

[west ice]

did inflation happen why is the ||mask shard 1500 now 😔||

[thick wing]

Hallownest economy is in shambles sadly

[west ice]

wait when i buy one from him does he get another one and raise the price

i already got like 6 of them lol

[sacred wren]

||All bindings are significantly harder than one binding at a time||

[thick wing]

I was just making a joke but you can get them elsewhere

[sacred wren]

Give them a try once, but most people will do ||individual bindings and then do all bindings together with the lifeblood buffs||

[thick wing]

Thanks, thought it was probably better to practice first

[west ice]

|| i feel like the dream sheild is so unfair like it geuinly made me beat 2 bosses with ease ||

[sacred wren]

||With individual bindings you can mix/match your build accordingly (except Charms) so there's a lot of freedom in dealing with the constraints||

[sacred wren]

...this is probably the first time I've heard this take, dang

Which ones?

[neat karma]

Uh bestie im sorry to inform you but this is what we call placebo

[zealous bear]

TRUE

[thick wing]

||Yeah it’s always out of the way when I need it to block a hit lol honestly only really helpful for oblobbles||

[west ice]

what is placebo vro

[neat karma]

Google:

Basically something (usually a medical term) that is meant to make you think its actually doing something but its literally useless

[west ice]

why is the sheild thing useless 😔

[neat karma]

||the damage it deals might aswell be 0, whenever it needs to block something its usually out of the way, and when its not out of the way most of the stuff that you want to block disable the shield and still go through instead of getting blocked, that plus tree notches cost yeah its worthless||

[west ice]

how does it deal 0 dmg tho i thought it does as much damage as my nail

[sacred wren]

It does, but at a much much slower rate

You can get off like ||20 nail hits in the time for one Dreamshield hit||

[neat karma]

Which for the total fight it might aswell have done no damage in comparison to literally every other damage source

A droplet of water does not beat the water tank

[west ice]

i guess i might look for a diff charm then it cost me 3 notches to put the sheild on xd

[sacred wren]

||Mark of Pride, Unbreakable Strength, Shaman Stone, Quick Slash are all really good 3-notch charms||

[west ice]

one question why does ||joni bellesing use 4 notches like isnt it uselesss?||

[shut sparrow]

yes it's very bad

[robust ridge]

read the description

it's actually quite cool, points you in the right direction

[neat karma]

Just a tip over half the charms in this game are either bafflingly bad/useless or just plain bad

[west ice]

|| well one more question is the king idol and hallowenst seal only for selling ||

[sweet oak]

yes

[left thicket]

Yes.

[west ice]

ig i will hold onto them so if i die i dont lose all my money lol

[sweet oak]

there is a bank in|| fog canyon|| that is very reliable

[west ice]

|| like i actually sold all of them and wanted to give them to the bank guy but tbh he seemed suspicious ||

[west ice]

idk vro this guy seemed shady

[sweet oak]

hmmm

i never deposited my money so i dont know
do as your instinct says

that actually applies to almost everything in this game

[west ice]

like while in the dialogue he like stuttered so it was a little weird lol

[misty vessel]

yes very true

[west ice]

is it me or the ||faild champion is lowkey VERY VERY hard||

[misty vessel]

I thought it would be easier

[austere viper]

||It isn't that bad, it's just that some bosses teach you to only dash when you really need to, but on him dashing whenever you feel like it is probably the best choice (atleast for me)||

[sacred wren]

...||I've been suffering on him with Nail0||

(||In P5||)

Did him ||Radiant with Weaverlings||

[gritty path]

Just learn his patterns like when he jumps back he will 100% do the shockwave and can do another one right after, when he jumps at you but is far dash away and when he is close and jumps towards you dash towards him

[delicate night]

guys

how can i spawn tjhe

[robust ridge]

can you consistently ||triple hit zote with ddark after he falls through the floor||

like mid-fall

[delicate night]

do i need to do with ||

a boss name

?

[sacred wren]

Ye

When in doubt, spoiler it

Doesn't hurt

[delicate night]

|| grimm troup ||

[solid heart]

It's just timing, but it's not that easy tho.
I don't think you should learn it since it's just a risky manouver for like, an extra nail

[sacred wren]

There's a pair of ||breakable walls in the Howling Cliffs, below where you find Cornifer||

[delicate night]

i know i went there

but there was nothing

[sacred wren]

||If you get through both, you'll run into a large dead red bug; Dream Nail it||

[delicate night]

i know but there wasnt

[thick wing]

Go further gng

[sacred wren]

@delicate night

[delicate night]

[robust ridge]

[sacred wren]

Ah

[thick wing]

yeahhhhhh

[robust ridge]

also i just checked and wow ||the dive hit of ddark|| does way less than I thought

[delicate night]

there is no

[solid heart]

You mean from other bosses? Yes
But again, very rarely worth it

[sacred wren]

||Keep going right||

[thick wing]

the shockwave is what matters twin

[robust ridge]

that's as far as it goes, the ||grimm bug|| is missing

[sacred wren]

||Also could you screenshot the map if possible?||

[robust ridge]

obviously yeah but I thought there was more of an imbalance between ||the dive hit and shockwave 2||

[delicate night]

btw

[thick wing]

tf is a shockwave 2

[sacred wren]

Huh

Do you have ||Dream Nail?||

[delicate night]

i dont have the || grimm room in dirtmouth||

[delicate night]

ofc

||awoken||

[robust ridge]

||it spawns two shockwaves, one wide and short one when landing (shockwave 1) and one tall one afterwards (shockwave 2)||

they do 50 and 15 respectively with ||shaman||

[delicate night]

how can i spawnn ||grimm||??

[thick wing]

aight gng but what's all that mumbo jumbo

[delicate night]

or ||spawn the room||

[solid heart]

||The dive does 23 with shaman.
It's not even a strength nail.||

[robust ridge]

yeah i checked

so not worth

[delicate night]

?

nvm got it

[robust ridge]

||did you already get the large red bug before||

[delicate night]

no

but

i got ||all the charms with debug|| by mistake

and i fulled it

thats why ||the bug wasnt here||

[robust ridge]

oh

[delicate night]

it gave me the ||grimmchild||that i already got

[abstract void]

Grimmchild the second

[delicate night]

now to kill it what should i do

fight *

[abstract void]

...Good question

[delicate night]

cant ||dreamnail the bug or the lantern||

uhm

what shouldi do

[abstract void]

Maybe try to reload? That's the best advice I have

[delicate night]

wdym reload

oh

[abstract void]

Like reload the game

[delicate night]

yo

[abstract void]

Ayeee

[delicate night]

no work btw

didnt work

oh

i gotta claim the ||flames?||

[robust ridge]

yes

[delicate night]

where are them?

it doesnt show

[robust ridge]

they only spawn when you have ||grimmchild|| on

[delicate night]

maybe its bcuz...

[robust ridge]

they're not on your map?

[delicate night]

nah

wait

[cloud edge]

Thanks for the help

[keen wren]

i didnt help u

i just said u just need spoiler tags

[forest remnant]

Narrator: "He did not put spoiler tags"

[south cobalt]

Ok but idk how to get rid of them a can we report the message? Or will that ban someone

[forest remnant]

Ask a mod if it's possible to delete it

[south cobalt]

How

[keen wren]

<@&283547423706447872> can u delete these messages

[south cobalt]

I mean Ive almost ||112|| the game but I don't want other ppl to be spoiled

[forest remnant]

Just @ mods ig

[south cobalt]

Frosty did

[forest remnant]

Alright

[keen wren]

<@&283547423706447872> this one 2

[forest remnant]

Mods came in like assassin's and took the messages out like the furys

Except for that one message ig

[past bloom]

I need help with

||PV||

Not sure whether it needed to be put as a spoiler but I done it anyways

Also it's in

||hall of gods||

[robust ridge]

abbreviations do count yeah

[past bloom]

Ok

So I done it correctly?

[keen wren]

guys if im trying to do the steam speedrun achievement ||after beating thk will i get the achievement like i beat the game||

[past bloom]

I think so

[keen wren]

ok ty

[past bloom]

||I'm on ps and the achievement says : defeat the hollow knight and complete the game||

||the important part is beat THK||

[robust ridge]

||by attack:

lunge - pogo it
triple slash - either time a jump well and pogo its head or pogo the nail and then pogo its head
daggers - save your shade cloak for this, just dash through
spikes - you can get close to it for huge damage, keep in mind the spike spawn relative to pv's position
parry - just dash through if you get parried
focus - dash away, you can heal, just be wary of the smaller explosions and keep in mind that pv can start a new move while they're still on screen (so ddark for safety maybe)
void tendrils - either time a double jump well or double jump, dash towards, and then ddark||

[keen wren]

thats not the speedrun tho

[robust ridge]

yes

[keen wren]

okay thx

[past bloom]

Oh I missread

Sry

Anyways yes

[keen wren]

ur good

[past bloom]

Thansk

Thanks*

[keen wren]

now i gotta train like crazy to do it under 5hrs 😭

[robust ridge]

learn the ||blue lake shade skip||

it saves so much time

and learn the any% route early game up until you get ||dream nail|| at least

(you don't need epogo)

[keen wren]

yeah i saw a video of someone doing it but my ||shade just go's away after it where i need it||

[keen wren]

whats epogo?

[past bloom]

||enemy pogo||

[keen wren]

oh

[past bloom]

||you pogo off an enemy for additional height||

[keen wren]

makes sense

[robust ridge]

||you guide one of the explosive balls the mushrooms in fungal wastes shoot and pogo it and/or the explosion it creates (this only works on an older patch) to avoid the big mantis room on the way to claw, but it only saves like a minute at most||

[robust ridge]

no, ||explosion pogo||

[past bloom]

||that's the specific one but it's also used for what I said aswell @robust ridge right?||

[robust ridge]

nope, I don't think ||enemy pogo|| has an abbreviation

also i'm sending you a video of ||pv|| but my wifi sucks

[past bloom]

Ok thx I swear it did

[robust ridge]

here's a vid of what I described (except the ||shade soul spam during the focus attack, that's just cause I didn't get hit||)

||you can also heal once during the staggers||

[robust ridge]

it's pretty hard to learn, this is a very consistent variation using qol mod but it still took me like half an hour to learn

[keen wren]

oh wow i see

[raw pebble]

can you combine jonis heart with fury of the fallen for an infinite buff?

[past bloom]

How do you not take damage when

||PV does the spikes||

[robust ridge]

no, also use spoiler tags on the charm names

it actually used to work but was patched out i believe

[robust ridge]

you just gotta react basically

be ready for the ||dive move since that can catch you off guard||

[past bloom]

I mean I always go close like I do

||but it covers it's hitbox||

[robust ridge]

it doesn't, it's just precise

[past bloom]

Ok

[robust ridge]

also don't ||double jump out of the focus move, it's because i don't ddark to spam shade souls but it's a bad habit||

you can see i almost got screwed over by the ||daggers|| because i did it

[past bloom]

||when PV staggers can you heal twice using quick focus||

[robust ridge]

you can heal twice normally if you react really fast

[past bloom]

Ok

[robust ridge]

i wouldn't switch your loadout for it though

[past bloom]

Also what charms should I use

[robust ridge]

you'll want to learn ||pv|| with your normal charms mostly

[past bloom]

I've got

Js

[robust ridge]

i'm just using my normal charm build which is ||shaman, qs, strength, sbody, and then dream wielder which is useless in this fight but i didn't feel like taking it off fore the video||

[robust ridge]

just use || on both sides

but if so then sure yeah

[past bloom]

|test|

?

[robust ridge]

no you need two

[past bloom]

||test||

[robust ridge]

||like this||

yeah

[past bloom]

Ok thanks I didn't know that

[robust ridge]

that's how i tag parts of messages

[past bloom]

||Qs?||

Oh

||quick slash?||

[robust ridge]

yeah

[past bloom]

Ok

Should I put ||steady body|| on

[robust ridge]

probably

it'll take time to get used to though

[past bloom]

Ye

[weak zinc]

how do i escape this place!? Its driving me mad

[past bloom]

||go left until the lift||

||halfway up jump to the right and there are floating platforms. Follow them to the right and enter the building||

||just explore then||

[weak zinc]

thanks

[past bloom]

||the map would be nearby then||

[weak zinc]

[celest shadow]

||Where does the % completion appear in your inventory when you unlock it prior to fighting the hollow knight?||

[unreal basin]

guys what am i supposed to do now

[neat karma]

Explore every empty spot in your map as usual, going for ||the last dreamer isnt a bad idea either||

[neat karma]

Bottom right

[eternal shadow]

||Guys I'm currently doing the path of pain and I'm struggling with the last thing, is there someone who plays play and I share games with him so that he just does the last one for me? I I'm struggling and I've been on the path of pain for 6 hours.||

[unreal basin]

i've already done that, at least to the point excluding direct instructions to go somethere. ||also what even is the last dreamer||

[eternal shadow]

I starte to have a joystick drift

@neat karma Thank you for your help. My damn fan was blocking it! I swear I looked!

[livid shoal]

Oh Ismo, you know New players hate reading

[west ice]

Are my eyes deceiving me || or did the caterpillar js get freaking infected ||

[neat karma]

I know 😔

[robust ridge]

||what giant caterpillar||

[austere viper]

||It's a Mimic||

I think

[robust ridge]

oh yeah those things

[unreal basin]

||i have two left, one somewhere in the foggy canyon (it says i'm on top of it for some reason) and another i can't access yet unless i can??? i'm sending my maps for these regions||

[robust ridge]

||those aren't grubs, there are enemies called grub mimics which look like grubs but attack you once you free them||

[unreal basin]

||wait, is that floor in the resting grounds slammable?||

[robust ridge]

yep

[unreal basin]

oh

[robust ridge]

you mean the ||coffin||?

[unreal basin]

||this||

[robust ridge]

oh no

not that

[unreal basin]

oh

[robust ridge]

but something else can be...

sorry i spoilered it by accident

[robust ridge]

(almost) all ||breakable floors will make a noise and create particles when you walk on them||

I think there are only 2 exceptions

[unreal basin]

cool, so how do i ||open that||

or where do i go, in general

[keen wren]

can u show a pic of ur inv

like where ur ||spells r at||

[keen wren]

spoil

[livid shoal]

It is

Reload discord

[keen wren]

oh sorry i just clicked fast

[keen wren]

use ||desolate dive||

[robust ridge]

||it's opened from the other side

maybe look for another breakable floor nearby?||

[robust ridge]

oh yeah, ||if you see a soul totem somewhere that usually means there's a dive floor nearby btw||

[unreal basin]

||idk where to use it||

[unreal basin]

ok

[robust ridge]

do you remember any of those nearby?

if not go look for one

[keen wren]

U gotta look around the map in ||resting grounds||

[unreal basin]

OH I FOUND IT

thanks

[keen wren]

Yw

[unreal basin]

oh i do NOT like this ambience

whatever

[robust ridge]

it's a short segment

if you made it through ||deepnest for tram pass|| nothing is more unsettling

well

actually idk

[south cobalt]

I need help with ||p4||;-;

[robust ridge]

||if you ever die to a boss, practice them in the hall of gods until you think you'll never die to them again||

otherwise the best charm setup is ||shaman + quick slash + strength + steady body + nailmaster's glory||

[west ice]

|| I thought i commit murder vro ||

[robust ridge]

nah they're not real lol

[warped kite]

Don't worry
I also got a heart attack in my first Playthrough when I encountered them

[keen wren]

@robust ridge what ||ending should i do i got none of them besides beating thk also should i beat 3nd trial in collo before doing the endings||

[warped kite]

||yes and I suggest going for Dream no more ending||

[robust ridge]

||as long as you got the beating thk one you can't really lock yourself out of any of the others by accident||

[warped kite]

True.

[keen wren]

should i do ||radience tho is it like a must for the endings||

[robust ridge]

no

well

sorry

you should

but it's not required for them all

[keen wren]

okay then

what i need is to finish ||collo but its taking forever||

[robust ridge]

you get nothing from doing ||colo 3|| except geo

[frail musk]

Bro what?! I gotta fight ||fanfiction Zote|| 😭

[robust ridge]

he's probably one of the ||top 3 hardest bosses|| too..

[frail musk]

I was just about to write this lol

I can’t beat him lmao

||I have staggered him once, and haven’t gotten past that phase yet it seems||

[robust ridge]

||iirc you usually stagger him at least 2-3 times even with maximum nail damage (excluding fury)||

[marsh saddle]

|| problem is when you pogo him and then gets staggered... he kinda jumps.. so if you got 1 mask left u die lol||

happened 2 times during || p5 || for me...

[robust ridge]

i got tired of that while doing ||hitless|| so i just ||camped the wall during nail flail||

[bitter mountain]

||I'm trying to pick a good charm build for the final stretch of p5 (soul tyrant onwards) and I only have room for 2 of strength, shaman and quick slash, which 2 are the best to go for?||

[robust ridge]

what else are you using

[bitter mountain]

||Quick focus and either unn or heart for survivability||

[robust ridge]

honestly ||get rid of quick focus, use heart, then use all 3 of the ones you mentioned before||

||quick focus|| doesn't do much during that segment

tough call actually

[tough saffron]

i see so many people talking abous some ||path of pain|| where do i find it? i thought i completed everyting at the ||pale kingdom|| when i got the second part of the ||charm||

[robust ridge]

||when you get to the bench in the main lobby, take the elevator up, and go to a room where there's a narrow path up with a bunch of kingsmoulds and spikes in it

you can break the left wall in that room but it won't show||

[tough saffron]

ooooh

so its a secret, i seee

[robust ridge]

yeah

[hoary anvil]

that's ... almost my build. i personally use ||strength, quick slash, quick focus, shape of unn||
-# obviously not for hitless challenge

some notes:
||- strength is good general dps and allows ohkoing collector adds (i don't usually change my build mid pantheon)

• quick focus/shape of unn obviously allow heals in more places
• quick slash results in more hits in a given time -> more soul to fuel heals/spells.
• shaman stone is good, but if you're needing the soul for heals then it's going unused. gets more effective if you're not getting hit -> needing less soul for heals -> needing heal charms less. (although i like playing aggressive with the nail so...)||

[frail musk]

I don’t get how to use ||Shape of Unn||. How am I supposed to use it??

Or like when?

[simple island]

For the last stretches (and most notably not for ||pure vessel and radiance) I know I used shaman strength and mark of pride
The hardest bosses in those sections aren’t super weak to quick slash (like markoth, nkg, no eyes…)||

[frail musk]

||I’ve got 1 charm left to find||

[hoary anvil]

often enough you can use it to ||walk away from something while healing, resulting in not getting hit as they would have struck next to them||. in some cases it allows you to ||trivially heal on specific attacks||, although examples could be spoilery still.

[hoary anvil]

neat ... if you need where to look, it's ||look for suspicious areas in the abyss||

-# of note, you can permanently lock yourself out of an ||arcane egg|| by getting it, depending on the order you pick things up. if getting that matters to you, go ||left and then across the very bottom of the room|| when there's a branch point

My first time ||getting past pure vessel in p5, any tips for absolute radiance||

[marsh saddle]

you'll most likely die, ngl... unless you already know her attacks.. but be careful and don't rush her, i guess

|| abs rad is fast so don't chase her across the arena and keep a good amount of soul either to heal at the right time during phase 2 or spam abbyss shriek when u can to deal the most damage ||

[surreal fiber]

thanks

[marsh saddle]

|| no heal during phase 1... you'll just get hit ||

[marsh saddle]

np

[azure swift]

You can definitely heal there, you just have to be careful about it and not force it

[marsh saddle]

true but i'd rather not unless i got || quick focus and find the right time.. i'd rather keep a good amount of soul and spam spells a little then heal when she's staggered before entering phase 2 and heal some more in phase 2... kinda safer that way ||

[hollow bramble]

||practice in hall of gods ofc, and learn all her moves save shade dash for her laserbeam across the screen, dont get greedy with heals, her attacks that go in all directions always alternate, so u shud be safe if u go to the last spot that the attack hits. u can heal if you know where the last laser will hit for her 3 lasers attack, u can heal 6 times after phase 1 or sword rain whatever u wanna call it, u can ddark the spikes on the ground, for final stage continually pogo her as she tps around and the flying balls will despawn once theyre at the top of ur screen||

[surreal fiber]

Thanks for the advice though ||as I expected, I ended up dead on my first attempt||

[marsh saddle]

train a lot until you can win 2 to 3 times in a row

[marsh saddle]

and lots of i-frames too || during yellow suns attack or swords during 2nd phase or lasers ||

[robust ridge]

unfortunately you will die this time around, you'll have to work on her in the ||hall of gods|| afterwards

[hoary anvil]

-# actually there's an itemless heal opportunity right after ||the 3rd beam burst telegraph appears, and also if the final sword wall provided the floor is a gap||

[robust ridge]

healing during the ||beam burst|| is super safe

[fathom creek]

its not super safe but its the safest you can get

[robust ridge]

i've never had any issue with it

[hoary anvil]

-# at least i think ||sword wall is possible||

[fathom creek]

sometimes the beam hits the same or almost the same spot and u can get hit even if u go where the beam was

[robust ridge]

never twice in a row, but 1 and 3 can

[fathom creek]

nah it can happen twice in a row sometimes tbh

[robust ridge]

i've never seen it at least

[fathom creek]

how much have u played ||absrad||?

[robust ridge]

if you walk to where 2 happened it should be fine

[hoary anvil]

i mean if you count standing directly on their face then yeah

[marsh saddle]

|| never tried.. only healed during phase 2 since every heal during phase 1 even in training i'd manage but get hit right after.. or not.. was too big a risk so now i only heal in phase 2 ||

[robust ridge]

||got radiant, did her with ab, worked on a funny radiant challenge for her, and played a few mods where it should be even less safe||

no ||radiant ab|| though

[fathom creek]

ive done ||radiant ab|| but maybe its just a skill issue for me and I just dont know how to properly heal lol

[robust ridge]

did you do ||radiant ab hog before p5ab?||

[fathom creek]

after

[robust ridge]

ah ok

i started having way too much fun with a ||radiance mod and stopped working towards p5ab|| lol

[fathom creek]

lol I did ||p5ab|| but then realised I was on a save file without ||zote|| and felt incomplete so I did it again, it wasn't worth it 😭

[robust ridge]

||i mean if you watch anyrad 1.0 the beams never hit the same place twice in a row||

plus that's very common advice for the fight

[fathom creek]

ye i tried ||anyrad|| but got tired or grinding it I got to climb once if I remember correctly

[robust ridge]

try ||sunset rad|| it's so much more fun

[fathom creek]

maybe I will

[robust ridge]

it's much less ||repetitive ddark spam|| but there also aren't any super super difficult attacks like ||anyrad sword walls||

ask in the modding channel, this channel is mostly for vanilla

it's a very long and tedious process though, unless you mean you just want to download a skin

[hidden tinsel]

|| How do i get past here ||

[stoic cedar]

if you cant seem to get past it then u very likely do not have the necessary item needed to get past it

[hidden tinsel]

do you know which that it might be

[robust ridge]

mark this on your map

you'll know when you can come back here for sure

[elder bramble]

I have problem in game

I can't join game

[shut sparrow]

this server doesn't support or help with pirated versions

[elder bramble]

I play 2h

[shut sparrow]

idk what that means

you mean you have played the game for 2 hours?

[elder bramble]

Yeah

[robust ridge]

he played old site heart side in celeste clearly

[forest nest]

🤯

[shut sparrow]

it deosn't matter. The hk version for phone is pirated and illegal. You can play it but this server doesn't help with it or discuss how to get it. It's against discord's terms of service

[elder bramble]

Ok ty

[shut sparrow]

I'm sure that's what he meant right

[robust ridge]

ofc, it's a very challenging stage

[shut sparrow]

idk what heart side is

[tribal blade]

People is it normal that it is a few days being the first game of the game already go by the last head of the story mode?

[forest nest]

Please rephrase whatever that was

[tribal blade]

What if it's normal that being my first game in Holow Knight and in a matter of 4 days I'm already going for the last boss of the game?

[forest nest]

Oh ok well even after the last boss the game still has a lot of content

And ||multiple endings||

[snow crow]

HK's great about giving you fun things to do after you've "beaten the game"

[tranquil oriole]

true!!

[tribal blade]

Like what? || For example I activate the Grimm company DLC ||

[forest nest]

||There's no Grimm troup ending but you def have a lot to do with Grimm troup||

[tribal blade]

like what? || What I like is the amulet that gives you of the child Grimm ||

[forest nest]

There's the ||Grimm boss fight and that amulet can be upgraded||

[tribal blade]

Yes I know, but what things can I do? or || The DLC is only to beat Grimm or as||

[forest nest]

||go speak to Grimm||

[tribal blade]

|| I only know to have only beaten the bugs to level up the amulet ||

[forest nest]

||the go back to Grimm and you'll have to fight him||

[tribal blade]

||Is that the DLC? to kill Grimm||

[marsh saddle]

find out <_<

[forest nest]

Yes its part of it

[tribal blade]

that is, what does it consist of not yet

[forest nest]

What

[tribal blade]

I don't know what to do in the DLC

What is the purpose, what things are done

[forest nest]

Just go talk to ||grimm||

[tribal blade]

well it's fine

[outer hare]

how do i setup a speedrun timer for hollow knight pantheons?

[tribal blade]

And hey how can I beat the || Holow Knight and A Radiance ||

[forest nest]

Doesn't it say how much time you took at the end of ||pantheons||

[outer hare]

yeah but its way more because it counts loading screens

adds like 30 seconds to the time

[tranquil oriole]

did you check hksplitmaker.com

[outer hare]

yeah its so confusing i dont understand anything

[tranquil oriole]

where it says “premade category” you look for ||pantheon of the 🤷‍♂️|| and then click generate and then click import splits

it should download a file with the .lss extension

[outer hare]

thank you so much

[tranquil oriole]

i’m pretty sure load removed time and end triggering autosplit are enabled by default but if the timer isn’t pausing between rooms or ending when you beat the last boss in the ||pantheon|| that’s going to be the issue

[heavy remnant]

someone help

[raw pebble]

🙋

[heavy remnant]

i am one mask left and i just got to ||grey prince zote|| in ||pantheon 5||

[raw pebble]

thoughts and prayers 🙏🙏

[heavy remnant]

not the big ||zote|| at least

[raw pebble]

explore the bottom east of the map more. also how much ||essence|| do u have?

[heavy remnant]

i cant no i dont wanna do this

[frail musk]

||I found where the Path of Pain is, but I think I’ll just leave it there lol. The name and the things I’ve heard of it — some place are best left alone lol.||

[heavy remnant]

i died

[frail musk]

Is this the area you meant?

[hoary anvil]

yes

[narrow delta]

||so in godhome i entered lifeblood room, dreamnailed thing inside, now im in p4 and the lifeblood room at bench isnt there 😔 am i doing something wrong||

[frail musk]

I’ve been here before, but I didn’t know to get in there lol

[heavy remnant]

no cuz its in ||p5||

[hoary anvil]

would you like to be told how or try and experiment and figure it out on your own?

[narrow delta]

oh :,)

[frail musk]

What about a mix of both 😭? Point me in the right direction because I’m dumb 🤡.

[hoary anvil]

hmm...

alright, so ||does the area remind you of anything||? ||anything that you could try bringing to the door||?

[tiny oxide]

Uh i have a problem... Ive pretty much beaten the game (everything expect ||p5||) and i wanna play more hollow knight...

[hoary anvil]

mods

[robust ridge]

spoiler tag ||p5||

also you could just do that

or complete achievements

or mods yeah

[hoary anvil]

wait for silksong

[robust ridge]

not much longer

[hoary anvil]

or play other similar games i suppose if you can afford it

[tiny oxide]

Yea i could try mods

Any reccomrndations for content

[hoary anvil]

of note: mods require a computer copy, not like xbox or something

🤷 haven't actually played mods myself

[tiny oxide]

Im pc

[hoary anvil]

i remember hearing that ||pale court|| is a good one

[heavy remnant]

its not a glitch that when i spam the inventory button i can move freely in the fights of ||godhome|| while the boss screams like ||oro and mato||

[robust ridge]

ask in the modding channel

[hoary anvil]

there's also randomizers of different types where item pickups/room transitions/etc are random

[robust ridge]

they'll know better

[hoary anvil]

-# me when i bump caps lock

[tribal blade]

You mean soul?

[inner hound]

it's known about, but considered a major glitch

[heavy remnant]

so why do i never see speedrunners use it

[stoic cedar]

He just said, it’s a major glitch

[tranquil oriole]

no one runs glitched ||pantheons||

the kind of people to enjoy glitching the game are based

the kind of people to enjoy ||godhome||…

[heavy remnant]

it can be used in different places

[inner hound]

so i'm both based and not based, got it

[tranquil oriole]

yeah, there’s a better way called ||quickmap screamskip||

[heavy remnant]

what does it means

[stoic cedar]

The most popular ruleset is no major glitches which bans these sort of major glitches

[heavy remnant]

so team cherry dosent know ???

[tranquil oriole]

i’m sure they know

or know about some variation of it

[heavy remnant]

they wont fix it now tho

[inner hound]

i guess they don't know every variation of each glich, but they have patched some

[south cobalt]

Wait does major skips include skips including skipping the ||wings segment of watchers||?

[tranquil oriole]

no, that’s nmg legal

[south cobalt]

I think that was intentional tho

[inner hound]

major gliches, not skips

[south cobalt]

Oh
