[robust ridge]

it takes a few tries to get used to though

[frail sundial]

alright

can i explain what i do now

and you tell me what to do better?

[robust ridge]

what's hitting you the most?

it might also just be an issue of getting more practice though

[frail sundial]

||I just pogo of him with his triple slash and lunge, but sometimes he jumps up so he hits me \ during the bubble attack i mostly just go to him and dive - when he is staggered i heal once for no risk||

[frail sundial]

could be, but i could beat them easily with what i have now

[south cobalt]

I need help with ||p5 markoth||

[robust ridge]

you can ||dash out of the big explosion and then heal (just be ready to cancel it in case a small one starts spawning on you, or wait until they start spawning)||

[robust ridge]

||great slash and dash slash for phase 1, save your soul for shade souls and "skip" phase 2||

[south cobalt]

Ok

[frail sundial]

is that safe enough?

[robust ridge]

||why are you getting hit by the jumps? do you mean you're jumping before it starts doing the attacks and get hit because of that?||

[robust ridge]

i haven't done it in a while but i'm 90% sure it is

[south cobalt]

What charms?

[robust ridge]

what do you use rn

[south cobalt]

||strength qs shaman steady bod nail glory||

[robust ridge]

perfect

wouldn't change a thing for that segment of ||p5||

[south cobalt]

Ok

[stiff hedge]

how can i proceed from this dead end?

[robust ridge]

you can't

||some things are one way||

[frail sundial]

sometimes after the || sharp stab (can i call it that) dash attack he jumps, or after the triple slash attack- sometimes he just jumps and sometimes he goes for a dive attack ||

[robust ridge]

just ||pogo once and then land||

[stiff hedge]

where should i head to pls?

[robust ridge]

||don't for a pogo when it's not attacking||

[frail sundial]

alright thanks, also sometimes i dont see the || sharp dash stab attack coming cuz he is out of my screen, how should i do that? just stay close? ||

[robust ridge]

||look for unchecked transitions on your map||

[robust ridge]

always stay on screen yeah

[frail sundial]

alright alright

[stiff hedge]

aye good tip ty

[frail sundial]

okayyy

gonna try it tomorrow again

|| the other bosses are going good, sometimes even hitless so i dont have to worry abt that ||

[stiff hedge]

what do we do here?

[robust ridge]

you can't always do something the first time you encounter it

come back later if you can't do something

[stiff hedge]

alrighty lets see then ..

[obtuse mist]

That would certainly make it better

[barren yarrow]

What is the easiest way to do this

I always hit the thorn

[obtuse mist]

omg failed spoiler 😱

[queen viper]

whats a good build for ||failed champion||

[stoic cedar]

Depends on what charms u have

[queen viper]

i got all of them

i lowkey forgot how to do him and now im on p4 and im struggling

[olive mirage]

Anika 👋

(Nadia)

[obtuse mist]

I’d say strong ones mainly like ||mark of pride and shaman stone. You want the range because you don’t want to be close to him, and you want to send spells because even though you can’t use them first phase, you can infinitely stall him when he’s down and dreamnail him, making the last phases much easier||

[hollow rover]

||guys how do i get awk dreamnail after i got all of them dream warriors beaten? I LITERALLY CANNOT BEAT DREAM BOSSES BTW||

[tired patio]

do you have ||1600 esscenec||

[hollow rover]

||1296 rn (i left out some roots i think)||

[tired patio]

if i remeber corectly you will need ||1 dream boss||

[hollow rover]

[tired patio]

try and get someone that the easiest for you

[chrome temple]

|| if u fight every Warrior Dream (1100 total) , and every Dream Boss (1600 total) so 2700 ||

[hollow rover]

||false knight is hard as fuck bc he does double dmg ||

[hollow rover]

||lost kin spams me with dashes and ghosts so that shit is hard aswell||

idk man

[chrome temple]

u can do it

[tired patio]

tbh the easiest (whene you learn the patterns) is probably || failed champion or lost kin||

[hollow rover]

sure but I AINT doing those 2

[tired patio]

there is only to more

[hollow rover]

😭

[tired patio]

you got this man

[hollow rover]

||yeah its proper radiance preparation ||

[modest quest]

Hello people, ||I killed Herrah the Beast (thought there would be an entire boss fight for it) and the black egg appeared to release some sort of orange mist I saw in volatile enemies. When I came to crossroad to collect rewards for grubs, there were a lot of orange eggs that also appeared in enemies and made them volatile. Does anyone know if this is bad?||

[stoic cedar]

||nope that’s normal, that just means u r progressing through the game||

[simple maple]

||that's a normal thing that happens once you progress through the game, it's spreading more and more ||

[modest quest]

||So the orange volatile eggs are like an invasive species of some sort and there's a hivemind inside of egg?||

[urban silo]

Wait you got the ||watcher knights?|| any tips..?

[modest quest]

the what

[urban silo]

the big round guys in the ||watchers tower or wtv its called theirs 6 of them||

[simple maple]

||have you finished the game yet? im afraid it's a spoiler if i explain to you rn||

[modest quest]

||not yet||

[modest quest]

don't know what they are

[urban silo]

ohhhh sorry then you dont have all the ||dreamers|| i think

sorry i thought you did

[simple maple]

||outside the battle area, theres a secret wall that you can break something thats hanging above them (sorry for bad english) that will kill like 1 of them iirc, but the fight consists of using a lot of spells and dodging||

[urban silo]

yeah I hate them they suck thanks for the tip!!

[simple maple]

np!! make sure to keep distance and use spells, and heal

you got this

[urban silo]

thank you!!!

[stoic cedar]

Nope just 1

[simple maple]

my bad then!!

[abstract void]

Question of the day: What is the worst piece of advice to give a new Hollow Knight player

[viscid umbra]

You will need the wiki

[hollow bramble]

||true ending||

[hollow bramble]

click on other peoples spoilers

[errant otter]

Guys

Help

Ive barely started and im kinda lost on what to do

[stoic cedar]

have you bought the map yet? ||and the quill and wayward compass from iseldas shop?|| those will help out a ton for exploration purposes

[errant otter]

Also dw about spoiling me

[errant otter]

||Got wayward compass, just waiting for the quill (I keep dying lol)||

[stoic cedar]

||yea try to get the quill, itll help u pinpoint which parts of the map u havent explored yet||

[errant otter]

Kk

Any like general pointers?

I found ||False Knight|| but I keep dying to them

Any tips for fighting them @stoic cedar

Also beat|| Gruz Mother|| i think it’s called, barely but I did it

[robust ridge]

this goes for really any boss in the game:

||1. focus on dodging, getting attacks in when you can between the boss' attacks
2. heal only when you are 90% sure that you won't get hit out of it, as getting hit out of a heal is literally worse than running straight into a boss on purpose||

[hollow bramble]

take note on how u lose health and try not to make the same mistake

[errant otter]

||Does the Stalwart charm thingy help||

[stoic cedar]

||for false knight, u really just want to keep up the offense and keep nail slashing him whenever possible. for his regular attacks, he really only has a jump attack and a shockwave attack. u want to try and follow where he jumps for his jump attack, and be prepared to jump over a shockwave when he slams his mace downwards. as for his tantrum attack where he goes to the middle and continually slams his mace, just stick to the sides and dodge the falling barrels by going left and right||

[errant otter]

Mostly by jumping at the wrong moment

[tawny sapphire]

Yes it’s really good early game actually

[robust ridge]

oh, don't jump if you don't have to

[errant otter]

How does it work

[robust ridge]

it's very easy to get punished for randomly jumping

[errant otter]

I jump a lot

Wanna know why?

[tawny sapphire]

||Gives more iframes when you get hit||

[robust ridge]

?

[errant otter]

Been playing the Ninjago movie game and I use Floating Butterfly and the other jump attacks A LOT

So I jump mindlessly while fighting now

[errant otter]

So Ive learnt

[tawny sapphire]

Don’t do that 😭

[errant otter]

Can’t wait to get double jump stuff

[errant otter]

Yeah, it killed me a lot

[tawny sapphire]

Not managing your movement is 1 of the easiest ways to die

[errant otter]

Also I play Minecraft so if I’m in a two block high area i jump to run faster so that probably doesn’t help

Also btw Im on Nintendo Switch it that helps any

[tawny sapphire]

Noooo you can’t mod the game for extra stuff to do after you beat it

[errant otter]

Wasn’t going to anyway

[tawny sapphire]

Oh ok

[errant otter]

The only game I would ever mod would be Minecraft

Maybe ARK if I played it

I have the dlcs anyways

Plus

If I enjoy it enough it might be a full replay one

Anyway

What’s some of the best charms to get early game

||From Sly mainly||

And a good way to get Geo

[tawny sapphire]

You already got ||Stalwart Shell|| other than that from ||sly|| this early on you can’t get anything good iirc

[stoic cedar]

||gathering swarm is convenient for geo collection purposes but its not strictly required||

[errant otter]

How much is it again

[hollow bramble]

yeah idk what to tell u man u gotta beat the first boss to progress

[errant otter]

Which one is that

[stoic cedar]

||300 geo||

[errant otter]

I’ve found two and beat ine

[hollow bramble]

||false knight||

[errant otter]

Dang okay, that’s a lotta clubies to fight then

[errant otter]

Oh fun

[stoic cedar]

u can always try to progress instead of grinding geo. in fact i wouldnt really suggest grinding geo a ton early game since there are better geo sources later on in the game.

[errant otter]

Btw what’s a good Hollow Knight song to listen (or a playlist if you got it)

[tawny sapphire]

All of it

[errant otter]

My sister said to get a bunch of geo to buy ||Sly’s stuff||

[errant otter]

Got a playlist i can use?

(On YT)

[tawny sapphire]

Uh no lmao

[errant otter]

Kk dw

[tawny sapphire]

I know there is one on Spotify

[errant otter]

I’ll go find one myself

[stoic cedar]

would not suggest this early game, especially since one of the items literally costs ||1800 geo||

[errant otter]

Which one is that

[tawny sapphire]

The ||lantern||

[errant otter]

Ohhhh

Btw

What’s the first ability i get

[tawny sapphire]

Outside of like 3 very specific items farming isn’t required at all in this game

[errant otter]

||(Like double jump)||

[tawny sapphire]

Beat the boss and figure it out

[errant otter]

Oh?

[errant otter]

Your more helpful than the Outer Wilds discord

(I mean this positively)

[tawny sapphire]

I forgot I still need to play that

[errant otter]

lol have fun’s

But seriously

What ability do I get

or will I like it

[stoic cedar]

it is an ability that i would highly suggest trying to incorporate into ur playstyle

[errant otter]

Can I guess what it is

[stoic cedar]

i mean u r gonna get it pretty much right after beating ||false knight|| anyways so just hang tight and grind out the boss

[errant otter]

||Grind him? how don’t they die permanently after I beat them||

[stoic cedar]

by grind i meant keep attempting the boss

[errant otter]

OH LOL

how much geo (if any) do I get from it

[stoic cedar]

bro u r gonna find this all out right after beating the boss

[errant otter]

I’ve watched someone play it a while back plus I don’T care about spoilers so I’m fine with you telling me

Also I’ll forget by tomorrow so dw

[hollow bramble]

idk man u just gotta run it down

[radiant mortar]

It’s not rlly a spoiler

I don’t even know how much off the top of my head

It’s not too important

[errant otter]

Is it dash

[radiant mortar]

What?

You mean the ability?

Wait what boss are you on again?

@errant otter

https://tenor.com/view/cp-gif-23253369

[tranquil elm]

||how do I beat pure vessel before I did every pantheon by cheesing but I couldn’t cheese pure vessel using a cheesy build I found||

[errant otter]

||False Knight||

[tranquil elm]

I recommend you to beat that first, it’s required for you to proceed and get other abilities

[radiant mortar]

I beat him by pogoing

A lot

When he does his salaries dance move just dash through

When he does his downsmssh get in the middle of two of the spikes

[tranquil elm]

Cool thanks, I’ll try it next time

[radiant mortar]

When he dashes pogo

K

[tranquil elm]

I’m having the most trouble avoiding the|| slash|| move, do you also pogo that one

[radiant mortar]

I had trouble on that one

I suggest every time you see a move incoming, double jump

If you’re too close

And he does the slash

[hollow bramble]

pogo too much and he jumps so care

[radiant mortar]

Dash through

Yeah this boss you gotta be patient

I suggest every attack do two to three attacks

At max

[tranquil elm]

My current build is a ||shape of unn deep focus quick focus||

That I saw recommended for cheesing

But in phase 1 I still couldn’t find windows for healing

[radiant mortar]

When I fight him I have on shaman stone, quick slash, unbreakable strength, and soul catcher

[tranquil elm]

I think you can only heal in the|| stab ground|| attack?

[radiant mortar]

Nah

[tranquil elm]

I also tried healing by moving to edge of screen to ||unn ||between the ||knife attack||

[radiant mortar]

And when he staggers

[tranquil elm]

But then when||they|| use any other attack I die

[radiant mortar]

I’ve never tried healing during the stab ground attack

[ebon trail]

just jump for most attacks, practice not healing or else you enter a different p5 fight with no soul

[tranquil elm]

||Unn ||between the ||spikes||

[tranquil elm]

I saw someone cheese ||p5||with ||unn ||too but I don’t think I’ll ever do that not if I’m currently still dying to ||p4||

[ebon trail]

did they cheese the final boss of p5 after though with the same build?

[tranquil elm]

Yes but not the final phase

That one they just did normally which is very scary

||Actually unning first and second phases doesn’t look too scary||

Although I feel like it’s going to be extremely hard for me whenever I actually reach it

[stoic cedar]

bruh yall gotta spoiler ur messages, this is hk help

[ebon trail]

i think i've been avoiding the spoiler words

[radiant mortar]

Yeah

[ebon trail]

cheese it if you just wanna get p5, not if you wanna do hitless one day

[tranquil elm]

I just wanna get all achievements someday

[hollow bramble]

right

[tranquil elm]

But I’m having giant trouble even doing that

[stoic cedar]

at first glance i see unspoilered ||p5||

[tranquil elm]

||persona 5||

[stoic cedar]

u literally gave a whole charm build suggestion unspoilered

[ebon trail]

I don't really think people who don't know it will understand, but I will tag that next time 👍

[stoic cedar]

i mean i dont make the rules but acroynyms of in game content need to be spoilered

[grizzled hatch]

|| what boss are you fighting?||

[tranquil elm]

||pure vessel ||

[grizzled hatch]

|| ah, that bitch ||

|| I ran quick focus for him to heal between focus attacks and staggers. Mostly because I just wanted to complete p4 and be done with it||

[tranquil elm]

||because how much I get hit I’m running quick focus deep focus shape of unn but I’m still getting hit too much ||

[grizzled hatch]

|| don’t run deep focus or unn||

|| you’re just hurting yourself at that point ||

[radiant mortar]

||yeah i agree||

||like I said I use shaman stone quick slash unbreakable strength and soul catcher||

[tranquil elm]

||if I can learn to dodge the attacks consistently with this build I can get health back as demonstrated in a few videos I watched, it’s just I can’t do that right now because I’m bad at it ||

[radiant mortar]

Anyways Gn guys

[grizzled hatch]

|| sharp shadow carries the fight also||

[tranquil elm]

||thanks but when I’m practicing the fight often I dash through and then the next attack happens before the shade cloak recharges||

[still copper]

I'm on a ||Steel Soul run||, is there any benefit to what happens to ||Zote|| either way?

Like does either option make the run easier?

[robust ridge]

not really, unless you're scared of dying to ||vengefly king|| for some reason

[still copper]

No, but I am scared of dying to ||Zote in trial of the fool|| lol

[robust ridge]

||it would've been so funny if zote was actually at the end of colo 3 and not colo 1||

[still copper]

Wait, is he not?

I haven't been up there in forever

[robust ridge]

fair

[obtuse mist]

How dare you call him that

[grizzled hatch]

|| it’s what he deserves for taking 10 hours to beat ||

[obtuse mist]

||No it’s what abs rad deserves for taking 20||

One is perfect and amazing one is aggravating and not fun there’s a difference

One is equivalent to getting a concussion from roller skating but remembering how much fun you had
The other is a giant 7ft tall bitch that beats you over the head with a roller skate

Alright those are friendly enough words to leave on gn

[tawny sapphire]

Both are fun idk what y’all are on

I still prefer ||AbsRad|| purely for the satisfaction of ||face dancing on her||

[solid heart]

Nah, don't say that about the best boss of the game

[west ice]

how do i open this door

[stoic cedar]

hello, all images of in-game content need to be spoilered as per channel rules, thank you

[west ice]

here

[stoic cedar]

||does the blue coloring around the door remind u of anything in the game?||

[tranquil oriole]

i already told you smh

when you asked in hkdisc

[west ice]

|| ye blue stuff that things from cocun ||

wait

ima try smth

wait that actually worked

i thought i was stupid for thinking that

[tranquil oriole]

yay

[west ice]

is that enough ?

[tranquil oriole]

i think so

if you don’t get hit on your way

well you can probably get hit once

[west ice]

i got hit once and it doesnt work

AW MAN I HAVE TO GO BACKKK

[tranquil oriole]

ah yeah, it’s 14 for normal ||lifeblood masks, but it goes up to 15 if you’re using joni’s blessing||

weird design

[west ice]

am really happy ||jonis curse|| is good for osmething

[copper vector]

||Hey so im trying to beat the Mantis lords, and i keep getting stuck on the second phase. Anyone got tips?||

[tranquil oriole]

||Be careful near the edges of the arena, the center is safer. Be content with whatever number of attacks you can get off without getting hit. Greed and damage tanking is one of the more common problems early on.||

[tired patio]

you can get || life blood (blue masks) before the fight (2), try and do the firdst on hitless so you save health||

[copper vector]

||Oh no im like midgame first playthrough, its just i dont like the mantis'||

||But thanks for the advise!||

[tranquil oriole]

how do you know you’re midgame

[modern bridge]

PLEASE give me tips for the ||third pantheon|| especially with ||sly|| I want to get ||secret ending|| before silk song

[copper vector]

||I usually stream my gameplay in my friendgroup and the HK expert says im in midgame so||

[tranquil oriole]

weird

[copper vector]

||For context i just beat the uhm- Broken vessel guy in Ancient basin||

[modern bridge]

🥹✌️

[tired patio]

do you have a problem with any stage on sly or just 1 or 2

[copper vector]

sorry for anyone i gave spoilers

[modern bridge]

||just sly i never made it to phase 2||

[stoic cedar]

||some general tips for sly is to pretty much only go for attacks after he attacks, and to stay relatively close to him to prevent him from initiating his run too much|| but any specific attacks u r struggling with?

[tired patio]

do you get to the 2 phase or sstrugle on the 1

[modern bridge]

|| the great slash ||

[modern bridge]

No i always die on phase one

[stoic cedar]

||u can either dash or jump out of the way of the great slash. u will see him charging up the nart so u have ample time to react||

[snow steppe]

keep distance from ||sly|| and when he attacks hit him once or twice

or use ||spells||

[copper vector]

But anyone got tips for ||mantis lords||?

[modern bridge]

Stay on middle and jump over when they're on the lower part of walls and wait to jump when he's on the upper part and for phase two stay on middle and when the little rings stay on the middle go to the side and jump when it gets to you and when its moving around stay on middle and jump

[copper vector]

Alrighttt

[spiral gate]

||When they use the spinning blade attack its most of the time safe too heal||

[copper vector]

Now that. Thats useful to know

Thanks

[still copper]

What does this actually do?

[tranquil oriole]

||lowers acid in one of the entrances to isma’s grove||

[spiral gate]

||It drains som acid so you can get too new ||areas||||

[copper vector]

Ohh so thats what that does

[still copper]

Oh I had no idea

[copper vector]

Me neither lowk

[tranquil oriole]

not required to get there, but the game pretty heavily encourages it

[modern bridge]

Princ

[tranquil oriole]

princ ali?

[simple island]

"Heavily encouraged it"

[tranquil oriole]

:D

[copper vector]

HEHEHEHH

||I beat the mantis lords in 6 attempts on 1 mask||

[stoic cedar]

cant help u with anything related with mobile hk since its a pirated version

[wheat gulch]

ohhh I don't know anything about that

[simple island]

Besides what is written above (which isn’t super related to what is asked)
You are not gonna get help for pirating a game on a partnered discord server

It’s against TOS

If you want to play the game on a mobile device legal ways include emulating windows or using a cloud streaming service like stadia (oops that’s not a thing)
So like… geoforce now ?

[wheat gulch]

hmmm okay

I'm going to keep playing it, I'm poor anyway.

[mental rampart]

best ||pantheon|| charm setup?

currently thinking ||strength mop quickslash longnail||

or maybe ||sharpshadow|| over ||longnail||

[stoic cedar]

depends on ur playstyle and what charms u have

[topaz nacelle]

any tips/strats for ||soul tyrant?||

[sharp hemlock]

||use breakable strength/upgrade ur nail (breakable charms don’t break in dreams bosses)||

[topaz nacelle]

i gave it to || divine and i have like 1.5k geo left 😭 || do i skip?

[sharp hemlock]

oh..

Well Idrk then-

[mental rampart]

i have all charms ||grimmchild over carefree melody|| and im more of a nail user rather than spell user

[stoic cedar]

||given that u prefer nail, i would suggest smth like quick slash, strength, mark of pride, steady body, then for the last notch u can use grubsong, nailmasters glory, or dream wielder depending on the situation. if u r uncomfortable with using steady body then u can just use two of the three other one notch charms i just listed. and if u ever do consider incorporating spells into ur playstyle in the future (which i highly suggest, not only does it boost dps, it is also fun to weave in spell usage with nail usage), i would recommend replacing mark of pride with shaman stone, and also replacing the two one notch charms with spell twister if needed||

[sterile spear]

Guys i have one charm only to complete all charms but the charm they said is unavailable for me cuz i did smn wrong i can't get the charm carfree

Melody

[austere viper]

||I think that's just the equivalent of Grimmchild, so it shouldn't matter?||

[urban forge]

||that shouldnt be a problem, carefree melody replaces grimmchild so isnt an extra charm||

[sterile spear]

Thanks guys so much

[urban forge]

di you find the charm you were missing?

[west ice]

I am 92 % so far i dont know what to do at all i geuinly need some help

[mental rampart]

is the strategy for ||godtamer really just to pogo on top of it?||

[stoic cedar]

yep that is pretty much the strat. ||u just need to react accordingly for the tamers jumps and the mounts roll||

[tight bone]

|| im going for true+ keen Hunter trophies and i have 154/155 encountered entries. But i still havent got the hunters mark from the Hunter. Do i only need to get the last one to get both trophies or do i actually need to complete all entries and get the hunters notes for it?||

[stoic cedar]

yes. ||in order to obtain the hunters mark u need to get 100% in both the encountered and completed ratio||

[mental rampart]

what opens this door

[tight bone]

Ughh, || i had many troubles just getting the encounters.||

[stoic cedar]

||pantheon bindings||

||each circle represents one binding||

[mental rampart]

||what do the big circles mean||

[stoic cedar]

||also bindings. but they are related to the reward that is behind the door||

[mental rampart]

||what is behind the door? lifeblood?||

[stoic cedar]

||the reward is related to lifeblood, yes||

[hollow rover]

||guys is this parkour easy? should i do it? ||

[robust ridge]

If you're not joking, it's an optional challenge which gives you ||almost nothing||. Go back to the main path.

[jagged wing]

||3000 total||

[still copper]

Thanks

[rigid cedar]

how do i reach the path of storms or whatever its called

[jagged wing]

||path of pain||?

[rigid cedar]

no

[tawny sapphire]

||Land of Storms||?

[rigid cedar]

||the place with alot of thunder in godhome||

[nimble monolith]

You need to beat ||p5 ||first

[tawny sapphire]

god luck, cheats, or all ||pantheons all bindings||

[rigid cedar]

when you say god luck you mean ||exiting and entering godhome until i reach it?||

[tawny sapphire]

yes iirc that has a really really low % chance to get you in

[rigid cedar]

alr bet thanks

[zealous crow]

||if i kill this guy, do i finish the game ? like, can i still play after this ||

[jagged wing]

you can

you can get all endings in 1 file

[rigid cedar]

but if i entered once before can i enter the same way again or can i only enter once?

[zealous crow]

ok but will something change ?

[jagged wing]

nope

[tawny sapphire]

wait actually nvm

[zealous crow]

okok thx

[tawny sapphire]

@rigid cedar ||the room you enter through random chance on constantly re-entering GodHome is not the Land of Storms||

[rigid cedar]

ok

[tawny sapphire]

the only way to get to ||Land of Storms is All Pantheons All Bindings||

[rigid cedar]

.

alr thanks

[nimble monolith]

like i said

[tawny sapphire]

not worth it 😭

[urban forge]

||there is also another room which depicts the godseeker crossing the wastes to hallownest that you have a chance to get by renentering godhome||

if thats what your talking about

[tawny sapphire]

||tuner workshop||

[shut kernel]

||Erm guys, I somehow ended up in the ancient basin from the royal waterways, and got the map. I can’t travel much since the only abilities I have are the dash and mantis claw…. Do I keep exploring or go back to where I came from? (There were two paths, one leading to the ancient basin and the other to an unexplored city of tears area)||

[shut kernel]

Helpp

[jagged wing]

if those are all the abilities you have probably go back

[shut kernel]

Idek if I can manage to go back TT. The way I came in was full of spikes and all mightve screwed myself over

[jagged wing]

its a bit hard but doable and if you havent sat on a bench you can always leave and rejoin

[shut kernel]

Yeah I gave all my geo to the fountain so I guess theres no harm in dying

[heavy remnant]

guys is there a mod that can summon a platform?

[zealous crow]

||i kill him twice, why is he still here ?||

[heavy remnant]

doesnt die at all

its for ||other endings||

[peak coyote]

||I need some guidance on Pantheon 5 as I'm currently doing it on my 112% steel soul run that i just finished yesterday and I'm having difficulties. It's mainly Pure vessel that's an issue so I've been practicing them. The charms I'm using is: Fragile Strength, Carefree Melody, Longnail, and Mark of Pride.||
||After I finish this I'm going to have to start on the speed running achievements cause I'm only missing the 2 for under 10 and 5 hours and the 5th pantheon.||

[zealous crow]

ho ok

[heavy remnant]

get ||some special items for them||

[zealous crow]

||for the other ending ?||

[heavy remnant]

||there are three with that guy and other wihout|| if u wanna know

[south cobalt]

Get rid of ||long nail or mop don't have both also make room for qs and carefree isn't very good since he does DMG and it's a gamble||

||he does 2 DMG||

[urban forge]

use ||shaman||

and ||quickslash||

[peak coyote]

I'll try that and practice on ||Radient Pure Vessel thx||

[heavy remnant]

yes

[jaunty moon]

How do I beat the ||final section of path of pain||

[south cobalt]

||steady body could also help if ur trying to hit him during the spikes attack so u don't get pushed back into them||

[south cobalt]

I've beat but I couldn't help u I forgot how to

;-;

[heavy remnant]

||c dash and time your pogos||

[tropic grotto]

||If I die in the world of Dreams in the Steel Soul, will I finally die? ||

[supple prairie]

no

[peak coyote]

||my current main way of fighting him is purely nail with me pogoing above him and my issue is that it's only really passible with both long nail and mop, I can easily beat him it's just I wanna make sure I'm not doing 20 minute P5 runs just for him to end them. I can do a lot of damage to it's just I'm mainly working on muscle memories while memorizing his attacks and his jump messes me up.||

[heavy remnant]

no and ||fragilecharms dont break||

[robust ridge]

no, excluding ||white palace and the radiance, where you will die||

[tropic grotto]

Thank you, well, that's good then. A ||heavy fellow|| wait for me, heheh.

[heavy remnant]

what about ||godhome|| tho

[robust ridge]

nope

that's fine

[tropic grotto]

I'm still|| through Magic. Since 88 damages are stable. ||

[peak coyote]

||I know spells are strong and all but it makes me lose focus when I use them so shaman stone won't be useful to me||

[heavy remnant]

AYOO

[heavy remnant]

witch boss are you fighting in ||dream||

[tropic grotto]

||Broken Vessel||

[south cobalt]

That's not a ||dream boss||

[peak coyote]

||You do not lose a steel soul run in godhome I would know cause I'm currently playing steel soul on P5||

[south cobalt]

I'm struggling with ||p5 too||

[heavy remnant]

good luck

[peak coyote]

Thanks ||I beat steel soul 112% yesterday and thought I'd be done and then I dreamt about Pantheon 5 and realized I wasn't done yet||

[tropic grotto]

It's just that his name isn't in English. I thought you'd understand what I was talking about.

[south cobalt]

Lol I feel u I feel like I have to get every achievement

Oh

[peak coyote]

Yeahh I gotta do this and then the 2 speed run achievements ugh

[tropic grotto]

They are very light.

[south cobalt]

Well skips exist

[peak coyote]

cause apparently || the 2 steel soul achievements are the rarest when it wasn't even that hard for me just took 2 days and I got the 100% under 20 hours too when I thought I had to do 112% for that||

[south cobalt]

And ||tfk|| isn't that hard when u beat him 50 times

[south cobalt]

Yeah I feel like people are just scared that they are going to die to the stupidest things

[peak coyote]

oh yeah I've completely memorized him and his movements

[tawny sapphire]

||steel soul|| is free, people just don't do it for some reason

[peak coyote]

the way I played was if i got low enough to die, no I didn't because I'd quit out to a bench lmao

[tawny sapphire]

||tfk?||

[tawny sapphire]

so true smh

[peak coyote]

and also for that run I ||banished the grim troup and the charm you get from that has been carrying me through bosses i don't want to learn and can just get through anyways aka the nail masters and gray prince zote||

[south cobalt]

||the hollow knight||

Wait I'm dumb

I meant ||thk||

[simple island]

||Carefree|| eww
I mean sure it’s not the worst thing out there, but relying on RNG is bees

[nimble monolith]

Wait you can do that

I might try|| steel soul ||after all then

[peak coyote]

It's either that or I suffer for a few days trying this when my friends want me to play something else

[simple island]

That’s a super lame way to play it

But for sure it makes the gamemode much easier

[peak coyote]

man I'm not going for prestige just achievements

[simple island]

As it basically side steps the whole difficulty as long as you don’t get caught off guard by double damage or hazards

[peak coyote]

I just want this out of the back of my head cause I know if I don't do it now I'll be thinking about it

[simple island]

Then use steam achievement manager
Or there is a mod to just give them to you

[peak coyote]

nah that doesn't feel right

[simple island]

Might as well if you don’t care about doing the thing but only getting the achievement right ?

[peak coyote]

I still wanna do it properly cause I wanna get good enough to beat ||P5|| myself even if I have a handicap

I don't care for the prestige I just want the personal achievement of doing it on a ||steel soul|| playthrough cause that's the one with the most effort put into it

and do keep in mind I only have 131 hours in hk

[south cobalt]

I have like 140 in it idk I play on switch

[peak coyote]

I play on pc with keyboard

[south cobalt]

Hold on I think I can check in settings

Nvm

[peak coyote]

Pretty sure you can see how many hours you have on your switch profile

[south cobalt]

O

[simple island]

Wdym a handicap ? (Unless you mean it in the very biological sense in which case don’t feel obligated to explain)

[south cobalt]

It says played for 130 hours or more :p

[weak zinc]

||which ones more worth it? Soul catcher or spell twister?||

[south cobalt]

Umm their both kinda equal

[peak coyote]

I haven't played hollow knight in actual years and this ||steel soul|| run it my most recent within a few day since I started, I did no research and so I've been finding my own path as best as I can and by the end I only needed to look up 2 charm locations. I just wanted the fun of having it done so I can be happy about it. Last I played I completed the entire ||hunters journal|| and so I just want it done.

[south cobalt]

But the ||soul catcher because it works for spells and healing||

[simple island]

It depends on what you use your soul for
||Spell twister is overall better if you use spells, but if you mostly heal, soul catcher would be better||

[south cobalt]

Bro I wish I could've went to gamecom frfr

[weak zinc]

there will probably be no news of silksong and the devs will clickbait us

trust

[south cobalt]

.. there was a ss demo at gamecom bru

[weak zinc]

shhh

shhhhh

[peak coyote]

nah the demo was fake definitely

[weak zinc]

exactly just a mock-up

silk song was never real

[peak coyote]

someone just made a fake menu screen to troll

[weak zinc]

that screenshot of whatever demo you saw was photoshopped

it was acc a ticket keosk machine

[south cobalt]

It was literally in the announcements channel the video

[weak zinc]

shhhhhshhh

merly an illusion by your mind,

[south cobalt]

Nah

[weak zinc]

silksong is not coming tmr

nor is it real!

you gotta believe

[shut kernel]

I feel like I’ve missed a lot of charms and skills…. My only abilities are mantis claw and dash. I upgraded my nail once and yeah thats about all my progress :’)

[south cobalt]

Starbaryy that's the thing about hk there's a bunch u can do

[weak zinc]

dw bro you progress at ur own rate, theres no set time in which you need to go find and beat a boss in

[south cobalt]

Yes u may have missed some charms but I can always go figure out where u get them

[weak zinc]

you didnt "miss" anything, you can always go back and get whatever

[south cobalt]

U*

[shut kernel]

Grrr I know thatt but it would be nice to know if there are some charms I could get but havent gotten yet

[weak zinc]

I STILL DONT HAVE SOME OF THE CHARMS U HAVE ON THE SLOT IM PLAYING

ITS OKAY

[south cobalt]

Don't worry just continue playing and exploring and if u get really really frustrated come back and we can help

[shut kernel]

Havent gotten to explore those areas because I keep dying

[south cobalt]

Tags pls

[jade sedge]

Please spoiler tag that

[shut kernel]

Oh crap sorryy

[weak zinc]

the key to finding success is to keep exploring, find new items that can help you, and gaining more skill

maybe those places might require you to find more stuff or at least have more skill

[shut kernel]

So basically I just need to git gud

[weak zinc]

basically, but you arnt on a timer XD Do whatever!

[south cobalt]

Also hollow knight is structured in such a way where you can basically never get stuck theres a bunch of different areas you can go to that all lead to the same goal so just keep exploring

[radiant mortar]

@shut kernel what was the last boss you fought?

[shut kernel]

||The dung defender||

[weak zinc]

was it hard for you?

[radiant mortar]

How many bosses have you fought?

[shut kernel]

Funny story ||when I heard his voice, i thought it was an npc so I happily went over there, spam casted spells and we both died at the same time. So i have no idea how but i did it first try|| it mightve been a glitch though not sure

[weak zinc]

XD Well you won tho

good enough!

u already have good skill!

[shut kernel]

Ummm very very few. ||The gruz mother, hornet, the dung defender, and the false night?|| I think thats about it? ||I got scared in the mantis village so avoided the mantis lords though :(||

[weak zinc]

||ah the mantis lords are a piece of cake, strange progression tho for you XD||

[simple island]

Well you can go back in there if you want

[radiant mortar]

Did you get ||mantis claw?||

[shut kernel]

||The amount of times I died trying to get the map in royal waterways proves otherwise HAHA||

[simple island]

Yes they did

[ebon trail]

|| mantis lords || are one of the most fun bosses once you get their rhythm down!

[shut kernel]

Yeppp. I got out of the area the moment i got it though

[simple island]

If you haven’t gotten something ||major from the peaks||, I would recommend you go back in there by the way

[shut kernel]

Shhhhh work smart not hard. I just dont do bosses until I absolutely have to. ||Except for hornet though, i was really excited to fight her||

[simple island]

They are the next step in progression, though many other areas can provide stuff

[civic rose]

is ||steel soul true ending|| an achievement?

[shut kernel]

Ooo niceee. I just despise that area though, many many traumatic experiences

[ebon trail]

they can probably get one more thing in || city of tears || before they do || peaks ||

[weak zinc]

||you get a pretty good prizes and benifits for beating em, and it makes your way back to the fungal place way easier than ever!||

[simple island]

Nope, just beating and beating with 100%

[simple island]

I assume they did but yeah no they haven’t probs

[weak zinc]

||and mantis lords only get beat with i think 3 spells and 3 hits, with the other 2, being 2 spells and 3 hits i think||

[simple island]

what does that sentence mean

[shut kernel]

Oooo thats excellent newsss. I guess thatll be my next order of business thenn

[ebon trail]

it is NOT that short

[radiant mortar]

Fr

[weak zinc]

||the first one takes 3 spells and 3 hits to down, last 2 each 2 spells and 3 hits i think?||

[ebon trail]

with max equipment??

[weak zinc]

||Not sure, lemme check acc XD||

[shut kernel]

NOOO TELL ME IT IS THAT SHOORTT

[ebon trail]

it's not... but the || mantis lords || are realy easy to learn to dodge

[simple island]

That doesn’t really make sense considering ||spell and nail can vary in damage widely||

[radiant mortar]

||mantis lords are one of my favorite bosses to fight||

[weak zinc]

||Ah my bad, i probably meant after geting shade soul||

||but you only need a lot of geo to get shade soul pretty sure, no abilities required!||

[shut kernel]

Okay these are all very encouraging news. Mightve avoided it so long for nothing

[weak zinc]

||(and some skill)||

[weak zinc]

i think you might have, it might be really hard at the start without any practice but once you've learnt all the attack patterns its like a cakewalk, probably can do it no-hit XD

(like most of the other bosses)

[shut kernel]

Okk gonna do it now and might update laterrr

[rapid lotus]

anyone got a set up for ||GRIMM||

[simple island]

What do you have ? Could you send a screenshot of your inventory and charm inventory

Though to be honest charms don’t really matter much for ||Grimm, he is really really just about learning how their attacks works

His attacks go off one by one, so if you know them, it’s just a matter of time before they die, and you can heal rather consistently when they go for a spike floor or when they stagger||

[rapid lotus]

only have ||10 notches|| still bc I havent beaten it or the ||trial of fool|| yet

[hollow prawn]

There we go

[sand flax]

||can someone help me figure out these last 2 bosses for the hall of gods? I'm lost||

is that better?

[austere viper]

||I think you just need to do the Pantheons?||

[sand flax]

||do I have to do the hollownest phantheon to unlock the last 2? deadass? 😭 ||

[hollow prawn]

Yup

[austere viper]

||I think so?||

[sand flax]

im cooked

💔

alr time to suffer

||is this build good for hollownest phanteon?||

[austere viper]

||I think sharp shadow is kinda mid, but you can use it if you want||

[sand flax]

||why tho? I find sharp shadow to be pretty good not only for distance but little dmg?||

[austere viper]

||If you like it then it's probs fine, but I'd probably swap it out for something like Steady Body and Nailmaster or something ||

[ebon trail]

do I need to kill || crystal guardian || for || c-dash and d-dark? ||

[austere viper]

||I mean, for 2 charms I think the buffs it gives aren't too meaningful, but if it helps you then you can probably utilize it||

[polar flicker]

Yes

[austere viper]

How?

[sand flax]

||alr thank you, I'll swap out for now and see how I do||

[polar flicker]

Oh nvm I misread

[ebon trail]

so no need?

[polar flicker]

Nah

[austere lance]

||you dont need to beat them, you can just reach them, and if you die (or win), they will be aviable in the Hall of Gods||

[errant otter]

I’m at ||Green path hellppp||

[sharp hemlock]

||what bosses have u killed from there?||

[errant otter]

None

||Only False Knight and Mother Gruz in Crossroads||

[sharp hemlock]

You should go around exploring, YOULL eventually run into smth

[errant otter]

||I have Vengeful Spirit if that helps||

[sharp hemlock]

yah u need it to enter this place

[errant otter]

||I’ve met Hornet already, just struggling to find her battle spot||

[sharp hemlock]

ohh I see

[errant otter]

||Is the city of tears stuff in Green path or Crossroads||

[sharp hemlock]

||she pops around greenpath||

[sharp hemlock]

It’s an entire new place, u should focus on finding her tho

[errant otter]

||Ik Cornifer (my fav character) told me||

[sharp hemlock]

||if u follow her u can find her pretty easily, exploring around will also do||

[errant otter]

||I have the thing to get in to it, I just wanna know how to get to it because I want the better Nail||

[sharp hemlock]

oop

[errant otter]

It was easy, until it wasnt lol

[sharp hemlock]

||the entrance is located in a place after greenpath, focus on finding hornet and some other ppl first||

[sharp hemlock]

Oop

Fair

[errant otter]

Okay, ||I’ll head back to where I found Hornet last||

(Im on switch btw)

[sharp hemlock]

Yah do that

OOP that must be hard

[errant otter]

If I was on pc I’d offer to stream it on here so you could help

[errant otter]

Especially after playing the Ninjago movie VideoGame

[sharp hemlock]

well we can talk in DMs and I can help u if u like

[errant otter]

I used floating butterfly and other attacks SO much in that

[errant otter]

I prefer not to use DMs due to the calling feature

[sharp hemlock]

O

Bubbafly!

[sharp hemlock]

Ahh ic

[errant otter]

I have a hollow knight section in my server (only mentioning it because I’ll be able to keep track better)

[sharp hemlock]

Also to warn u, the person who ur trying to find is VERY difficult compared to what you’ve fought so far

oop

[acoustic sigil]

[sharp hemlock]

||the one in greenpath right ?||

[copper vector]

No, the one in ||kingdom's edge||

[sharp hemlock]

Oh.

[snow steppe]

[sharp hemlock]

||use shaman stone and vengeful spirit to blast away the spike trap if they trouble you||

Uhhh

[copper vector]

[sharp hemlock]

||also listens to her sound cues because she usually does them before she attacks||

[wintry laurel]
