do u have everything in the game?
almost
nice
yo is || failed champion ranked one of the tough bosses he is geuinly so so hard for me ||
||there is no official ranking. He is definitely one of the top 10 hardest bosses though for sure imo||
||i need help with radiant markoth bro ||
are you using ||nailarts?||
no
there you go
||try to collect a lotta soul on his first phase, obliterate him with spells on the second one||
||guys ive been fighting nkg for the last 3 days i got to the phase where the heart gets holes in it today but i died quickly do the attacks get any different or is it the same? also is this the last phase?||
||attacks are the same, you can check NKG's health whenever he does the balloon attack, 75% 50% and 25% health respectively||
||you want to great slash him when he gets close. If he's far away you can also use dash slash. Since they take a bit to actually hit after releasing the button you probably need to do it a tiny bit earlier than you'd think. You don't need to worry about his shield since great slash and dash slash both have a big enough range to simply hit through it.
Don't chase markoth around the whole time. It can be good to go for a hit if you see a nice opportunity but generally you don't want to be too aggressive. Mostly wait for him to approach you and then great slash to deal damage. If he moves away or you can keep him at a distance you can stay on the platform, if he gets too close you should move to a different one.
As mentioned by cinnbunzia you want to save your soul in the first phase and then use all of it as shade soul in the second phase. To do that wait for a good opportunity where you're safe (usually on his shield attack) and use all of it for shade soul. Since you want to get as many double hits as possible try only to use shade soul if he isn't right up against a wall or a platform since he won't take double hits in that case.
As charms I'd recommend shaman, nailmaster's glory, twister, catcher, heavy blow, eater.
Since you asked why nailarts: They deal 2.5x damage while strength only does 1.5x. This isn't a crazy amount considering they need to be charged but you have nailmaster's glory which makes this easier. The main reason they are so good for this fight is for their ability to hit through his shield and the knockback. It makes it a lot easier to keep him away from you.
In case you struggle with this strat, know that it is not a cheese strat that will suddenly make it easy. You will still struggle but trust me, this is the best strat.||
||ah thanks, helps a lot||
thank you bro || so no mark of pride, none of the nail charms just full mage build? ||
||all of the nail charms don't affect nailarts. Since you should ideally really be doing pretty much 100% nailarts charms that affect your nail are useless||
||and then the mage charms? ||
thank you bro
||as mentioned you can pretty much skip the entire second phase if you have enough soul. That's what they're for||
||if you dont kill him but have wasted all of your soul, don't get nervous, try to hit him a few times and then keep spamming shade souls. i've already died a bunch of times because of how impatient i got trying to kill him quickly
||
|| can I fight zote in the colosseum even after beating all the trials? I haven’t rescued from deepnest yet but I’ve done all the trials. ||
Yes
||Does anyone have any tips for someone just starting out?||
||the main thing I'd say is learning to read the map well. Whenever you see a small opening on the side of a room or a wall in a room on your map it means there's some form of transition or unexplored part there. You really need to get good at noticing that and pay close attention to your map to progress well. Other than that just don't give up||
this ^
thanks
||oh and also: idk how much you have progressed but this is a metroidvania and you'll obviously get more abilities and upgrades the more you play. When you get an upgrade that serves a purpose in combat, it's almost certainly gonna be strong and useful. If you get something new really try to implement it and step out of your comfort zone instead of just your nail||
Ok man
Thanks too
What could I forget or is it normal?
||seer ascension for 2400 essence|| is a common forget
I've been ||through the whole pantheon||, what are you talking about?
||if you get 2400 essence and then return to talk to the seer a cutscene plays, you get a completion %, and you get the "Ascension" achievement||
it's one that's more commonly forgotten. (i assume you also have beaten ||trial of the fool at the colosseum||)
I know bro, I play for 100% of my achievements.
beyond that could check either the wiki list at ||https://hollowknight.wiki/w/Completion_(Hollow_Knight)||, or if on a platform that allows access to the save files (like computer) then use a save file checker like ||https://reznormichael.github.io/hollow-knight-completion-check/||
Yeah, I can advise an ||super build for him. ||
||Is this considered interest? ||
all that's there is a ||geo rock||
||If I didn't save Zota, it doesn't affect 112%, does it? ||
correct
||So before a boss is killed, should there be 112% or maybe the last boss and there's that 1%? ||
||final boss is not the 112th %, you go into the fight with all 112 to get the achievement||
||just wiki isn't available in my region unless i try it through the vpn||
i could copy the complete list into here
i found an alternative in Steam
noted
||What if I have one amulet that's fragile, you have to remake it? ||
oh, ||either fragile or unbreakable will count, but you have to have it - if divine currently has it then it's not counting to the total.
also on grimm troupe, you have to get either banishment -> carefree melody or defeat nkg -> grimmchild 4, but if you were going for all the achievements that should be done already...||
||Eat my mouth, there's a 300-page guide. ||
||Yeah, I've already got 47 achievements on one save, and I'll get another +3 when I finish the game. ||
||do u know why after complete the path of pain the 1st time i cant go again in ? ||
||wdym, is the wall not breakable?||
yeah
its higher up
u shudnt
ah
the more you know
but my lumafly crash instant when i launch it
?tag error
How to fix Installer Errors
- Make sure Hollow Knight is CLOSED.
- Make sure that the Installer isn't in your Downloads folder (Desktop or a folder on the same drive as your game install is best).
- If the installer is in a
.zip, then you must Extract it - Right-click the installer file, and select "Run as Administrator"
- If Lumafly is automatically closing, you may be missing a system file to open it. This is currently easily fixed by running the older installer, Scarab once.
- -# Note: it's recommended to use Lumafly overall, as Scarab has some long term issues that are fixed by Lumafly.
||Where do I go from here?||
dash and jump
thx
tips use charm which give u
mana when u are hit
and ||double regeneration ||
with ||long nail||
do i need to link the game to scarab ?
try without, and if it still doesn't work then do it
||if i just wait until my hiveblood regens before trying again it works fine||
anyone have tips on this? here is my build
What the fuck
Good morning gng
Yoo what should I do I got 1.8 k geos should I buy ||lantern|| so I can explore ||Royal waterways|| or should I buy charms?
||lantern prob||
||Maybe hang out at the side and try to push them back with shade soul? Hard to recommend charms without knowing your charm costs. Stalwart could be good for tanking.||
Alright ty
||its all the same notches exept for shaman that cost.. 5||
|| lantern will be needed to travel through deepnest and is helpful in royal waterways||
Ty bro
Btw I thought the one on ur profile was Spiderman until I looked closely
lol
||In that case, Joni's is strictly inferior to lifeblood core which also gives 4 masks but for 3 notches. Fury really isn't doing much imo, I'd replace it with twister or stalwart. Maybe add grubsong with the extra notch.||
||Uh so fury is free and i cant remove it- and im using joni's since i cant use focus||
||Joni's gives the same number of masks as lifeblood core. The only difference is that Joni's costs one more notch and removes your ability to heal.||
||whats the timing on these?||
|| as soon as it hits that ledge then make your move ||
||not that. I mean the spears. I was facing the wrong way||
|| use your gut. Time them with a 1-2 cycle ||
||a what cycle||
imo probably the hardest part of ||white palace||, after the second one there is more time
|| you can dash through all but the last ||
shing, shing, go
|| time the spikes to 1 and 2. For example 1 is when it comes down. 2 is when it goes up ||
|| that’s helped a me lot with the various platforming puzzles in HK ||
can || breakable strenght charm break during the first time you challenge nkg? ||
||nkg being?||
|| Nightmare king grimm || dont open if u didnt play || grimm ||
|| since he is a dream boss your charm shouldn’t break ||
||no clue lol haven't beat grimm yet||
|| you will eventually. Fun fight ||
Oh alright thanks
i almost made it through T^T
hi which mods are with i can teleport when i want and too unlock all ||pantheon boss ||?
|| let your hiveblood regenerate lol ||
I have hk on steam. If I want to play hk on a new machine, do my save files sync between them?
or do I have to copy save files manually?
steam backs up save files so as long as you're using the same account it should be fine
no i mean i almost made it though the annoying section i needed help with
YES
||what is this next section dude T^T||
||
||
||I made it to the lever, hit it, and then fell off||
go to #1057825333841240104
godseeker+ dont unlock ||pantheon or radiance || for me do u have solution
there not supposed to
ah
if you want ||p5 + radiance im afraid you have to follow horntes advice and
||
there isnt mod to unlock ||radiance and pantheon ?||
possibly, if thats what your looking for do this
lmao
a mod
who dont unlock p ?
did you reload to apply change?
yeah
just to confirm what is your current problem?
you seem to have ||radiance unlocked||
does ||voidsoul|| not recover soul??
I just want to unlock all the ||pantheons and radiance||
||voidheart|| doesn’t recover soul, no
no
maaan i got to enjoy that for like 5 seconds
@urban forge
|| kingsoul is a pretty bad charm anyways ||
is there an easy way to beat ||watchre knights ||with ||nail 2 and ddark||?
|| abusing ddark helps a lot ||
|| abusing ddark helps with pretty much everything if you use it right ||
equipping ||shaman stone||
||Correct me if I'm wrong but the mod seems to have already unlocked radiance, you've also selected to unlock p5 so If you go there it should work||
If you want to do it normally I can just tell you where those bosses are
i think ||godseeker+|| is meant to be used on a ||godseeker|| file
Like I said go the modding help they'll probably be more helpful
OMG IT'S SO LOGICAL I DIDN'T THINK OF IT THANKS IT WORKS
THXXXXX
Thx too for help
i love hollow knight community
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful
In an alternative universe
ahahah
is there any way to figure out what grubs you haven't found other than just checking?

Alredy i Just do that
U mean the team chery file
Inside we got hollow knight
R
remove the extension and delete ur corrupted save
read the bot message here to locate the save file
the corrupted file is in slot 1 so it will be named user1
no
Only user 1 r
yes just user1
it should be smth like user1.dat.bak(numbers)
Yea
Like this
so what u need to do is move the user1.dat file out of the way or delete it
then remove the bak extension
is there a way to make these permanent?
Ye
how
Late game
Where il gonna find the bak extension
Find the troup of grim
||if u summon the Grimm troupe, give one of these charms to an npc called divine snd pay like 15k geo||
already ||banished it||
Help meee
so first did u move the user1.dat file out of the folder? if so, u want to locate the user1.dat.bak file and rename it so that the bak extension is removed. afterwards just open the game and see if its fixed. if not, then try to load any other backups u have. if none of them work then u r out of luck
sorry coulkd you re word?
||theres still an npc called divine, if you go to the left of where the Grimm troupe used to be||
|| divine should still be in dirtmouth in the circus tent ||
^
Which mean il fucked
R
did u try loading the backup yet?
Il triying rn
Im
|| what could help me beat panthteon 4? || also what || bosses are in p4?||
||if u have banished the grimm troupe then u will not be able to upgrade any fragile charms u may have||
aughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Have you done ||Grimm troupe||
You can see which ones are there
Nvm I just everything else
||if you’ve beaten pantheon 3 u can see which bosses are there||
Not on the game rn, and will not be for long
so like no way to upgrade them?
Oh yeah I did beat
oop
Well once ur in
U can check that!
Alright
No but if your in ||godhome they don't break||
So you shouldn't need to
Ya
i see
how?
So basically im at || 111% || right now, do i only need to beat || pantheon 4 || to beat the gane?
They ||bannishef||
weird
|| enraged guardian, lost kin, soul tyrant, no eyes, white defender, watcher knights, markoth, false champion, traitor lord. Plus a surprise||
|| as for tips take it slow. These are harder bosses and several have heavy attacks. Use the hall to practice ||
Who are || enraged guardian and markoth again? ||
|| enraged guardian is the harder version of crystal guardian. Markoth is the moth dream boss who summons swords and has a shield ||
Also known as satan

Oh alright, basically im cooked 👍

|| it’s by far the hardest pantheon other than p5 lol ||
Why does the || Failed Champion fight go on for so long. I use the stunlock and stagger resetting technique, and it would take forever to defeat the boss. I do hit the maggot directly aswell. ||
|| do you have fully upgraded nail? ||
||is it normal to get frustrated on soul master, go to crystal peaks, and then get the dream nail after falling into resting grounds and get pale ore from seer to upgrade nail.||
Yes
|| that’s an interesting route lol ||
like in that order specifically bc you got frustrated?
well i thouht so
|| then just struggle through it ||
im on my first playthru
don’t worry about what’s normal then
|| most people beat soul master and then go to crystal peaks. I first found the dream nail via the tram system ||
Yeah play how you want. There’s a billion ways to do things
|| Should the fight go on for 7 minutes though ;-; ||
||ok i guess i explore peaks i get distracted from dream nail||
|| you can speed it up with spells. It’s just a long and tough fight without strength ||
Getting distracted and off path is the best way to play this game
|| call it from the bottom iirc ||
|| it’s not. There’s other ways||
|| a lot of other ways ||
|| Failed champion stun locking is using dream nail to fully regen soul, (and striking the armour during stagger to reset timer) and then attacking the maggot. I use abyss shriek 4 times to make him stagger again and repeat. ||
ok, but why are you using that type of text?
Spoiler tags
ah
|| yeah, just a slog of a fight ||
got it
|| on both sides
Oh thanks
Use on this
which one
|| you’re doing everything right btw. He’s just annoying ||
||I can already feel p5ab going to be pain when I encounter him ||
Spoiler ||kingdom's Edge||
oh
|| when you do pantheons you can use fragile strength because it doesn’t break there ||
|| it drops him and most bosses way quicker ||
already
||dw there are parts of P5AB which are far far worse||
|| Can you die in pantheons in steel soul?||
|| no ||
Thanks
|| you can die in white palace and base radiance fight though. Any other dream fight/realm you’ll be fine in||
|| I think I should worry 😭 ||
|| Thanks, I'm trying to get all the achv in hk :>||
|| nice, I don’t envy steel soul players lol ||
|| I’m ok with not getting those achievements ||
||Steel soul||isn't that bad
|| I don’t like the pressure ||
I beat the game in 3 hours, feels good. Now I just need to ||finish it on Steel Soul with 100%|| and I’ll have all the achievements.
why does these thing not boost me high enough to jump over the edge?
||any tips for radiance? current problem is hes such a pain to hit i cant focus on dodging||
hit down
||current charms are mop quick slash soul catcher spell twister||
same height
learn to hit down with a nail
shouldnt be
lmao why didnt u say so thanks...
||Sharp Shadow is the best amulet for all bosses.||
|| nuke them with abyss shriek and shaman stone ||
|| you can effectively skip the first 2 phases if you have a full soul meter plus 3 vessels and shaman stone ||
What do you mean?
||Or I can show Build 90 damages with just a nail. ||
||bruh this mushroom area doesnt have a single bench to update the map||
So the point of the map is? I've never used it.
so i can trace my death spirit
Are you dead?
yes..
Do you want to know where the bench is?
||You have 2 options. Queen's station, or at the very bottom of the entire location. ||
nice im alr heading that direction thanks
||Yes, it will be difficult for a beginner to get there. Well, even if you get there, it'll be hard to get out. ||
Good luck my boy.
i need fast travel
Are you talking about ||Stations? ||
i see those are the fast travel points
Well, if you ||want to see where they are, check out a store in Dirtsmouth sometime.||
i bought all the thingys in that shop beside the last one
this probably not the station i guess
Good.
i have beat the || traitor boss || but at whatcost
why ||uumuu in god home|| doesn't have a vulnerable phase?
At the cost of everything.
||you need to hit him with the exploding balls from the other jellyfish||
||Hit the jellyfish to explode and fly at its side. ||
that's very difficult
yeah...
||man the nearest bench of the mantis boss is so far from each||
is there some sort of flash item needed before heading to ||deep nest||?
||yes||
||you can buy one from sly for 1800||
||it’s permanent and doesnt break if u die||
It also activates on its own
Naisu
uh whar
Sugoi
"Galaxy S24 Ultra"
||why it says able to dash downwards but dont works?||
what says that
||dashmaster charm||
||when youre falling down aand hold s you can dash downwards||
||or just generally un the air hold s and dash||
im on controller
i see now i havent got it equipped yet xD
||need more notches also, do u know wher ei can get mores?||
spoiler..
||Hey guys ! Can't find him could you help me plz?||
Go to the highest room
||where? in the hive?||
Yes
If you walk the highest path possible
Send Screen if u think ur on the right spot
Yes, my boy.
Can anyone help on some achievements that are hidden
||shade soul launches them with a lot of velocity||
Ohhh
theres no bench at all over there
You didn't get the closer bench
shit nuts
||There is two closer so far||
shouldnt they apear on the map since ive bought the item
Only if you've got them I think
ight cool
||the load screen after beating the hollow knight is scary! :D||
spoiler
@frail sundial am i at the right spot?
its in the room left of the ||grub ||get to the top of the wall there and ||crystal dash then double jump|| to enter a secret room
Can you send a screenshot of the location, not the map?
I think you are at the right spot
Like there?
Yeah, now || inspect the roof ||
Anytime brother 🙏
Is there a special ability to get past spots like this?
This was by far the hardest || grub || in my opinion
Lol
I hope that isn't a spoiler I couldn't figure out how to put the things on.
Crazy
Yes, u will get there if u keep playing
Thanks.
I couldn't figure out the ||love tower grubs because I was stupid||
Can someone help me with hidden achievements?
k
the hidden ones are mostly bout endings
or alternate choices
I've been struggling on ||NKG|| for so long any tips
||get in the flow, only go in for nail hits when ur 95% sure u wont get punished||
||sharp shadow is very helpful to dodge his attacks and get some free damage||
Search vid on yt, explains very good
But you could just || stay calm, dont panic jump and dont be too greedy with nails hits ||
how can i solve this?
you need a pretty late game item to get through it
dang gotcha
||is there a new boss to fight in forgotten crossroads after it has been corrupted? (Just say yes or no)||
no
||and its infection not corruption||
potato potato (sorry 🥺 )
was jst abt to say'
yes
ofc it is
||the damn yellow stuff caused inflation in the underground goddammit||
you should probably spoiler some of those things 
which one
sure
just put || between the words u wanna spoiler
you put only one | XD
there we go
it was VERY clear
around would probably have been a better word
okay moving on to discussion XD
Yo, idk what i'm missing but i've done everything in the wiki ("fandom" if you're asking) to get really 100% the game
ps: i only need 1% more
Nvm
I know what i need
Thanks anyway
What am I supposed to do here? The ground is shaking but nothing happens, and I got nowhere else to go
U need an ability to do so
So come back later
||how much have you explored yet||
Yes
And I guess nothing I can do here as well?
Started the game 10 mins ago
Ah i can tell you thst but it will become a spoiler. And idt you want those...
Oh alr then keep exploring
If I’m already here… already I spend most of my time back tracking, and before going in some place I took a long drop down so idk I can can go back up
Also you got nothing to do with this for now, neither can you do anything about it.
The place where you can see a long chain coming down?
I don’t remember I’ll check
It said something before about an old kingdom and I should obey the rules and leave
Yeah I’m basically stuck here
Oh wait r talkin about ||dirt mouth||
Great start hk
||you fell off the cliff and then met an old bug next to the bench||
|| did you sit there?||
Yes
Who?
Yes
Is that thing harmless
Then you || came down from that well kinda thingy and now youre here||
Guess that thing is a boss
Good
Yes. Explored it, had the shaking floor in 1 area and I beat some big dude and broke a jar with a worm on the other
I never tried tho cuz i lost my way to reach it. Ive seen how it fights tho. || It releases those jumping crab thingys and those flying worms that run to bite you||
U new?
Alright thank you
Yeah started about 15-20 mins ago, 10 of them I’m stuck here
Does ||absrad and the all ascended hog entries count towards hunters full journal?||
The ||hog shade thing on the bottom locked||
Hmm ||once you come down from the well, u shd go left and you will see those plates and lots of bugs flying. Come all the way down but do check the sides of that hall thingy while coming down as it has some more ways in there! (Jus dont go into them alr) Well now when you come down you will see a bug sellign maps. Buy one from him and it will help you||
All I can say is
Just explore
And look for ||cornifer||
He's a bug who is selling ||maps||
Then keep exploring new areas

Cuz i think i shd tell him that much
I got to some place but it said map services will open later something like that
The rest he can do by havin ||map||

GO THEREEE
Yes thats him!
YES ITS HIM
Hes humming
Go
Omg what a moment 😭
Go
But u have to pay for it
Is it ok to come hear first thing after starting the game?
Ig they might have found about geo
Ohhh I got a map hell yeah
you need to have a PC version (steam, GoG, gamepass) that is legit (not cracked/pirated), and to download the ||lumafly|| mod launcher, it is very easy to set up and intuitive
Alright thanks
ask in #modding-discussion for further info
GO TO ||DIRTMOUTH||
CHECK YOUR MAP
Sorry I didn’t know there was a chat for that
no problem
How to I go back there? Can I fast travel to the bench
Ig they need ||pen and what else was it, for the map||
For now u can't
Guys do fragile charms break if you die in the path of pain?
He said something about a compass
Compass tells you your location on the map
Wym the map don’t show me where I am
I need that
U need compass
You will get it from || dirt mouth, the shop you went into last time||
How to I go back?

Get up to that place again, ||climb those plates and go to the right. You will see the chain from well. Ascend it and there you are.||
I’m a boss rush addict and friends said this game is what I need to work on that

I have been playibg for 35 hrs so far
Haha i jus ||followed a game play||
But this time i did almost half of what i had done last time in 7 hrs
I mean thats sm improvement
Is it's good
18 hours and ||royal waterways||
Or am I too slow
|| last time it took me 15 hrs to take down hornet in kingdoms edge||
Listen some people progress in not so simmilar ways
Ive no idea, all i know is jts a small place, damp and dark
15 hours??? That’s dedication ig it took me 1 hour
Man I’m getting lost here tryna farm 40 geo
Dude ydk my build was so lame and i kept trying omy god 😭
I know bro
While some people enjoy exploring others focus on main story
I honestly kept ugrading everything i had and now i can fight most boss
There is lowkey no main path
Didn't it reach 100?
You kinda now know that this is a big and long hall right? Jus jump on the plates you will find the way to the top
Well, Let's say Important things
My || nail was upgraded 2 times and i had been trying various combos of the charms i had.||
Why ?
And how
Yes I took a right turn on my way up and there a whole new area
Those flies gave me 1 I had to find stronger ones that gave me 3-4
I think only thing || upgradable is the nail. What else is there... Gettign shards might be considered one as well as the vessels for soul||
||Its green right?||
Theres also another one at the very top.
Go see that too
Hm what did u unlock in || royal water ||
Wait he can't go there that fast
They give 2 and rn you need to like yk... Uh how do i say.. jus cope w this much? (Im not being rude sorry)
Once I got 100 I went back and up to get the compass
I’ll get down here after if will be easier to navigate I guess
I'm guessing nothing
Its 220 geo
That || worms home is what im talkin about. Cuz even i got there in the start||
Ohh
Is compass of 100?
There is a useful area there try to find it
I thought u were talking about the ||greenpath||

Yes yes
How can those stuff be spoilers I’m not even an hour into the game
Is there a bench there? I gotta close the game soon
|| when we defeat hk we automatically have to defeat radiance... Doesnt this make it the same thing? Whats the embrace the void and what happens in sealed siblings||
Hmm nope
Ohhh u don't have ||void heart do u?||
Do u have full ||dnail?||
Jus had to turn it void kne
Nope
Ohh yeah go to ur birhplace
Jus got it upgraded 1nce
Ohhh is it not full?
Nah
Full charm?
It needs those ||pale orbs or smth to be upgraded||
O I'm tawking bout ||void heart||
No i have nothing of it rn
Oh u need help?
Hm lemme do the ||ancient basin and what else was there.. i need to do those places first then ill get on this heart thingy||
Then ill ask you
Ok
||how do i get through the locked door to kingdoms edge, is it with the key bought in dirtmouth?||
hey guys question ||what r the bindings for patheons like what if i click it what does it do like for nail is it saying i cant use my nail?||
||Nail makes your nail damage worse||
13 dmg
what abt the rest?
||If you have max nail,,||
||Soul binding takes your soul meter down to one cast/heal||
||health binding makes it 4 masks||
||charm binding or whatever it's called makes it so all of your charms are disabled||
yep
okay ty another question ||how do i enable/disable those||
they are disabled by default
so when i click 1 and it shows|| like a x with chains means its enable?||
when theres a chain on it it means its enabled
okay ty
What's the best place to ||get durandoos I need their entry for hunters journal also does absrad and the bottom locked door in hog count?||
No dlc stuff counts except ||pale lurker and flukemunga||
||Durandoos are the walking ones right? Greenpath gardens entrance||
Which entrance?
||the one at the soul vessel in greenpath with the vines you cut||
Ok also what am I missing from it I am have everything I think I need for the non full ||entries||
What does the number say
||Like the found/total||
Is that a ||shop item||??
Great news i beat him! Tried him again today early morning and it took me about 10 tries, ||i was kinda panicking in the last 2 phases lol my heart was racing|| i used your advice of ||checking with the balloon attack and it worked. It made me see where i was at||
I haven't fought a boss this hard for a while, glad i could complete it 
GG, glad you could beat him!!
Not sure if somebody else already answered but heres mine:
||If you defeat the hk you do not defeat the Radiance you just become the new vessel for the infection (the radiance).|| ||In embrace the void you defeat the absolute Radiance (a more powerful version) and that also gets wrid of the infection but releases a void creature thing on the world.|| ||And in sealed siblings Hornet gets sealed in the black egg with you and becomes a seal like the dreamers||
What's ||world sense...||
||Shows your completion on your file and inventory, you get it by reading the tablet is the black egg||
It's not required for ||112 so idek||
Just go read it it'll help a lot
It's ||black egg?||
||world sense|| is so nice
Yes
Ok I usually just beat ||radiance again💀 ||
Yeah this’ll save you a bunch of time
Especially once you’re in the later stages of 112% where you’re gonna want to check more because of anticipation… at least that’s what happened with me
You should see your % in inventory
Uhh ||158 outa 163||
Show me a pic
just go compare with the wiki page at this point honestly
My % never really mattered tho 😐
there's a ton of easily missed ones
Yeah ones that u didn't know u could kill💀
||there's also ones you can't kill||
I think ik one I'm missing tho idk if it's an entry tho
Well yeah ||seal of binding||
You don't need that
U don't???
But no, I mean ||there are entries for unkillable enemies||
There are almost zero required dlc ones
||pop isn't dlc right?||
||PoP is DLC??||
Ig
yes
Didn’t know that and I’ve done literally everything but speedrunning and challenge runs
there's also stuff like ||weaversong and sprintmaster||
..
Ain't no way
Lemme guess he was only added so ||hive blood exists to make pop easier💀 ||
It always existed
||it was just unguarded||
No I can't believe that ||weaver song exists because of deepnest||
||hive blood always existed||
O
I know, you wouldn’t expect that
Tips for fighting the ||Grimm Troupe|| dude. I just finished ||collecting all the flames, and when I return the child to him, I have to fight him.||
Where's my cutscene of ||mushy boy I talked to him with spore shroom equiped..||
Uhh get ||u strength it's 15k tho||
you need to find him like 7 times and beat the game
I was thinking nail is better for fighting. He moves too fast for me to use spells against him 😅.
Yeah that's what it is
But if u think he's fast RN just wait
Wait till later
But yeah ||u strength is nail strength||
||u just means unbreakable||
||simple key works on all locked oors?||
it works on most of them but some need a special one
on all ||simple doors||
||will it open the locked door to kingdom edge||?
Not sure what you mean
||you mean the padded one?||
i think so
That's not the way to ||kingdom's edge|| and no
||simple locks say something about a simple keyhole when you inspect them||
How did you even get to the door without going through ||kingdom's edge|| anyways
||the way to kingdom edge must be through that underpass in tear kingdom right?||
||That's one way yes||
ah ye i see alr a quicker path
was told to grab some ||nail skill/upgrade|| there
||sucks that im missing one shell shard (whatever it's called) to getting more %||
does it exist live split for || path of pain ||speedrun ?
pretty sure
just search livesplit hk and theres a website that makes it really easy with templates
and you should ask speedrunning questions in #speedrunning next time
question ||did i get the true ending by defeating thk again with void heart and hornet by my side or is this the 5th ending?||
that is the 2nd one
you have everything you need to get ||true ending, but you have to do something in the fight differently||
||Watcher Knights|| is kicking my ass what’s the best ||charm build|| for them?
My current build is ||Grubsong, Spell Twister, Shaman Stone, and Spore Shroom||
||That looks already mostly very good but send a screenshot of your charms if you want suggestions||
||Spore shroom|| won't help you much here (or anywhere really), but for the most part, you have the best build you can make out of these.
Alright, thank you!
That said, going back and exploring more until you have a stronger lineup is also an option.
true
||Thats very good if you like it. If you want to change it in some way, you could swap the one notch charms to like catcher or maybe SoU but this is probably better for you if you are used to these charms||
Alright, wish me luck
Wow but in the game plays, ive only seen it this way|| defeat hk hornet hells you and then you get into the dream and defeat radience, the end. Hows it gonna be like uh... You jus have to defeat hk and become the next seal. Also the source of infection still stays if we remove hk and put our vessel in its stead. Right? The infection will still spread that way. And in the other ending you said hornet gets stuck with us i mean my small knight and hk. So she becomes part of the seal... That doesnt end the infection asw. So ... Destroying radience only brings the true ending?||
Also tysmmm for the answer this helped alot.
All the endings arent good tbh... || Each has a flaw or what you say... Smth isnt right in each ending||
||the shade lord probably just returns to the abyss afterwards||
Nothing's wrong in ||dream no more||
hello people, ||there is a statue named hollow knight in the city of tears, are there supposed to be two hollow knights?||
Use spoiler tags
Whats in this one.
Idt they mentioned this one
Also ||that happens in every ending...||
||normal radiance||
||well the infection most likely stops spreading because the old HK was an imperfect vessel which let the infection escape. In his fight he also starts killing himself to help you.||
Thats || ur elder brother. He was assigned to be vessel and hes in that egg||
the ||black egg|| in ||crossroads||?
||thk isnt older im p sure ||
||that character is the hollow knight, not the player||
Oh yea i see him ||stabbing||
Yepp
oh ok
In ||void lord you become basically god og ending you become the vessel but in dream no more you just... die to destroy the infection it's very sad||
||your shade returns to the abyss||
||But i call him older cuz size 😭||
fair enough
Is ||hornet their sister?||
||hornet is the child of Herrah the beast||
||yes hornet is the vessels' sister||
||Still everyone thinks you die plus is that really good? It just becomes the same ending as the time before the infection||
So the ||one in which we kill radience, its called dream no more||
||everyone thinks TK dies in every ending
that's good because hallownest was in a worse state||
Now you say ||vessel's sister... That is supposed to specify one? Or all the uh vessels we see trhu out the game?||
||all vessels||
I mean ||all the vessels are siblings||
but also you should probably take this to the lore channel or something
||but it just returns to its original state exept no radiance||
||So these are all siblings, ain this adorable
||
||all vessles are from pale king and white lady, and hornet is from pale king and herrah, so half-sister||
this just feels like making a spoiler minefield
||yes but that's a huge improvement from the state it was in||
||Um i was talkin about endings.. isnt this related to game?||
||like how you get them or what?||
if so it got very sidetracked
also ||the existence of multiple endings is a spoiler||
||Yea i do wanna know how to get them. And which one is easier.||
||Ehh... still it's just the original state plus you are dead plus so is everyone you love as the white lady said everything will succumb to the infection... nah you win I see your point||
the 1st one is the easiest from here
Idk the ||herrah|| will see her later ig
||1. beat the hollow knight
2. beat thk with voidheart
3. Beat radiance
4. beat p5
5. beat p5 but give flower to godseeker||
||the radiance is causing the infection so presumably every infected living creature goes back to normal||
Whats || p5 and tkh||
Aight
||tkh = the hollow knight, p5 = pantheon 5||
||realised that so I said you win||
