what with the gray thing
You have to spoil stuff
||1st phase is easy peasy, it’s just 2nd||
they're spoiler tags
you need to use them on all your messages
That’s not true
Uhh so. I beat ||p4|| first try but nothing is happening when I go to ||p5|| it just sits like that
Go up
better to be overkill with the tags than to have to explain why so many things have to be tagged
how did you beat ||p4|| first try though that's insane
||wall climb the wall left||
||pure vessel first try?||
||p4 easy||
||Any tips for finding mask shard after soul Master (Steel Soul)||
||nuh uh||
||go to the right and walk climb the wall right of the bench||
did you practice ||pure vessel|| beforehand somehow
i wouldn't be surprised if you got through the rest first try but that part's shocking
you can ||climb up on wall||
No. First tey
It was kinda easy
Yeah I sgree
Had more trouble with ||sly||
It is very easy
literally never seen anyone do that before
Yeah same
tags
Oh yeah mb
how do you only have 110 then
What?
if you found ||p4|| so easy how come you only have 110 still
Found it thanks
||Bc I still need the mask and see the seer die?||
Have you even played the game?
you did it without the ||9th mask||?
where is that coming from
I have 112%
most people save ||p4|| for the last percent because it's by far the hardest
just surprising that's all
I wanna get ||all 5 endings||
||you can still get all 5 after doing flower quest?||
wdym
But I haven’t beaten ||p5|| bc I haven’t been playing in a while
You can?
yeah
My friend said you had to wait or else you couldn’t get ||all 5 endings||
probably confused about one of these two points
||1. the flower ending is triggered by giving the godseeker a flower, not finishing the quest
2. you can get a flower from the traitor's grave after finishing the quest||
nope
So he said I had to ||beat p5 first||
Oh just a regular one?
Does that mean ||it doesn’t break?||
a ||delicate one||
later
well done 👍
You sure abt this @robust ridge
If you’re wrong and I can’t ||get all 5 endings|| I’m gonna sue
yes
your friend is completely misinformed about it
where did he even get that info from
Ok I just found out
never seen that misconception before
||city of tears, here we done||
Yeah
He also said that ||if I save zote I’d have to fight him anyway so I should just beat him in Brettas dream||
why not do ||seer ascension though? did he also tell you you couldn't do that?||
Luckily I didn’t and I found out what rlly happens
No I just didn’t know what I had left till yesterday
oh
And I can’t play till like tmrw
||zote makes the pantheons so much harder||
it's actually such a big difference
yeah that's what i meant by the ||traitor's grave||
it's actually even easier than doing it normally because ||it doesn't set a hardsave point when you get it so you can just quit out to a closer bench||
||i think all I have to clear is the soul master?||
||Should I upgrade my nail?||
||upgraded the nail onc||
||sure||
||Because it buffs enemies||
||It buffs the health of bosses slightly but your general damage will still kill the bosses way quicker||
Ok
||For example, hornet has 700 health, but the third nail upgrade, which upgrades damage by 4 per hit, up from 13 damage per hit, only puts her health up by 50.||
So the upgrades scale well
Is upgrading my nail worth it? I heard it makes some bosses harder.
It increases their health but only slightly so you’ll still kill them way quicker than without the upgrade
It doesn’t make any bosses harder, just slightly scales up their health
Oh? So I should just do it?
Definitely
you forgot spoiler tags
Oh yeah
Why do we need spoiler tags though?
Fake wall on the left
I guess that makes sense
yeah there are new players
also spoiler tag ||nail upgrade||
great i messed up the spoiler tag with a typo but can't edit it because my wifi sucks
what left 😭
Hey I just got hollow knight and was wondering if anyone who is on ps would like to watch a screen share and help me throughout rhe game since I have never played a game like hollow knight before
it'll be tagged in like 2 mins just hang on
Awesome
Just hop in a vc and people will join
Okay
i dont think users with the new knight role can join the vcs on this server
Oh
what do I do now then
just wait for the new knight role to go away
Any tips for ||gpz||?
||which attacks are the hardest for you to dodge?||
The || shockwaves and falling one, often the one where he waves his nail around can catch me off guard||
yk how long?
||when he jumps around, you want to wait as long as possible before dashing so that he locks onto a position before falling instead of chasing you during the dash. that gives you more time to jump out of the shockwave. ddark is great to become invincible for any attack, and also deal damage to him during the flail.||
24 hrs
thats awhile to wait ok
⬆️
||when he disappears into the ceiling, down spell with him, and when he starts using his nail do a max jump or fast double jump then pogo||
im struggling on || watcher knights on p4 idk why but their attacks are so spammy and they have way too much health ||
whats ur charm build
|| strength quick slash mark of pride grubsong and thorns (the last 2 i had two extra slots and idk what to do with them||
ask #speedrunning and also spoilers ahhhhh
o
||definitely take out thorns, and replace with probably dream wielder cuz uumuu is also in p4 and also based on ur build, do u use spells often?||
||uumuu is not in p4||
|| i dont use spells much and uumuu isnt in p4 ||
wait what
wait have i been ||doing p5 so much cuz i swear theyre right next to each other||
anyways ||replace thorns with anything, dream wielder is still good||
||spells are very good for watcher knights cuz u can hit both at the same time, ddark is especially good for getting out of tricky situations like when they double team u and ur stuck or whatever, as well as shade cloak to get out||
anyways i can stream or send a vid if u really want
ok thx
ill practice them in ||hall of gods||
||they are, but the order of p5 bosses does not strictly follow the order of the prior pantheons. it follows it for the most part but some bosses have been moved around||
||just killed soul master, would it be best to open up mines or go back to deepnest?||
||i would go mines||
its really up to you, explore whatever place looks more appealing to you
appealing heh
interesting, important, whatever
tips for ||v2 hornet?||
charms?
||okay yeah u need to explore more, probably previous areas - ur missing a lot of charms and charm notches, proabbly masks and other equipment as well||
good build though
alrightyy ty
||any tips for Mawilek?||
||3 attacks: jump should be simple enough - he jumps towards where you are and jumps back, at least thats whaat i assume it does, walking around and slashing which it gives a very obvious tell before he slashes, and the blob spray which u can simply jump over the mawlek while pogoing it, or dive and use iframes to not take damage||
well what do u have
thats good
Does he have safe heal spots?
kinda a gamble of whether his projectiles hit you
maybe if the jump misses you you have enough or at least more time
yup
His claws are hell
just assume he will slash after a nail hit or two

Oh alright, really sorry bout that.
||Currently stuck here, don't know how to progress cuz I can't get out of the crystal peak location so it's kinda hard...||
you also need to tag the text please
||I mean you can get through there but Id suggest go get geo for the Lumafly Lantern in Dirtmouth||
If you can get out that is
||the exit should be just walking left from there||
Cool
||Yeah but you have to activate the stegway, which I just can't for some reason, bug?||
you cannot ||use the toll becase the room is dark||
well how am I supposed to ||light the room?||
||not getting the lantern|| was a mistake
which is?
LOL but im kinda stuck now so ||can't get the lantern unless i get to dirtmouth...||
||if youre on the right side of the room really all you can do is just keep exploring the place and that should get you out of there||
||currently using a map and 0 exits as I see it||
||im still struggling with this Mawilek||
you can always come back and do it later
||getting the lantern requires dirtmouth, going to dirthmouth requires getting out, getting out requires the lantern. Kinda endless loop...||
or as i literally said various times
keep progressing in the area youre in and youll find a way out
Isnt he like early game?
not necessarily, it depends both on what youve found and your skill level
eitherway its not required for inmediate progression so
yeah you could definitely do better, though if youre really set on doing this right now then i suggest ||replacing either mark of pride or steady body and soul catcher for shaman, and use desolate dive as it does a great amount of damage, while also giving you iframes||
prob ||shamans|| over ||mop|| also spoiler second image
i hate discord their spoiler feature sucks so much i geniunely cannot tell when somethings tagged or not
is ||sprintmaster/dashmaster|| any good against ||gpz? dude is just so big and so fast i feel like it wouldnt be a waste||
||also is there any method to the madness of his spawns? like whether they are flying or grounded or do i just have to never stand beneath them? and his slam attacks whether they are real or the fall from the sky one||
||and his nail swing whether it will be real or one of those instant trips||
yeah hes one of the most random bosses
how pleasant

I literally cant get out i went everywhere on the right unless im tripping
||i assume you get to the bottom and theres a locked door and nowhere else to go right||
my left is locked,
i go to the right and i can go up, but its also locked
i can also go down after going right some more, which doesnt lead anywhere but the ||statue with the girl talking to me, but i cant go after her (top right)||
||apparently your meant to do Mawilek for mask fragment||
yeah what i thought
me?
||once youre in the the bottom of the city (aka the level the statue is at, youll find an elevator like two rooms left of the statue||
||halfway up, or down seeing as youll be coming from above, theres a platform you can jump onto||
thats the reward yes
U sure I’m meant to do this later?
i never said you were meant to do it later, or earlier, theres no given order to stuff in this game, you do it whenever you want and whenever you are able to
keep going right
||elevator to the left, deeper into city to the right||
wait, this isnt it? i dont remember seeing this actually
thats the way
ah kk ty yall
somebody explain the lore behind this tree to me
lool
i wish there was a main quest line i could follow instead of this dark souls stuff, i get its cool for others but its just not for me, i want difficult platforming and bossfights, but im enjoying myself so far
but.. im just lost as hell now, where should I go (in terms of objectives before final boss), so far I unlocked ||wall cling and dash, killed the 3 mantises, and explored a bit||
this is my map rn
Ahhh alright so you don’t have the ||dreamers|| on your map
Uhhh you need to get to ||resting grounds||
hello, please spoiler your message as per channel rules, thank you.
Oh fish thank you for reminding me
i think my game is glitched or im missing something
explain
when am i supposed to have an actual hard boss fight?
||ive unlocked the grimm stuff and the tent, spoke to the leader to initiate the quest and i was told there was meant to be 3 flames on my map, i havent got amy||
@full hedge could u DM me like some main goals i should do before doing final boss, or would that be too long of a message? im just so lost lmao
i can google how to get to those areas, u can make it short and simple
||the first hard fight that i had was the broken vessel||
||you need to equip grim child to be able to see the flames and collect them||
kk ill keep an eye out
you have to have the ||charm|| equipped
idk why i didnt think of that smh
good luck!
i heard the boss fight is meant to be one of the hardest so ill probably need it
Yeah of course I can
tyty
Spoiler please
Put a spoiler on the photo
Edit the message there should be a way to put spoilers on photos
Also, in order to beat that guy, you need to visit the ||Ancestral Mound||
Talk to the NPC there
ok
no
Can I progress elsewhere?

My recollection is that this area is supposed to be pitch black until ||you get a lantern from some shop|| but I can see without that. My only mod is an ultrawide fix, maybe that's causing it for some reason? Or am I just forgetting, I haven't played for many years.
Okay so it is bugged/from the ultrawide mod, thanks. That's unfortunate.
I believe its just further ||in the room where you access a dark area, not there||
Where the ||miniboss arena|| is? That would be great, I'll go further in and test it, thanks :)
you're still quite far away from being able to get it
||also opened up sewers for later||
||and I’m trying to do Mawilek with spell twister,shaman and steady body||
to get 112%, do I need to get ||the hunter's mark|| or something?
thank god
I DID NOT wanna kill every single creature just to get those bragging rights
||hunters mark is required for an achievement tho, if u care about getting all the achievements||
hello, please spoiler ur message as per channel rules, thank you.
How do I spoiler my message
||any tips for Mawilek?||

Are the ||Trials at the Colosseum|| required for 100% the game? I'm going for the ||Steel Soul|| achievement and don't want to do anything I don't have to
They ||do give percentage, but since the max is 112 if you dont want to do trials you can do something else and it will still add up||
⬆️?
||godhome doesnt sound like the best idea but its actually one of the safest since you cannot die in the dream realm,, mostly||
Do the ||pantheons instead||
Where can I see what all gives percentage? Is it on the wiki?
Dont rush it, take your time and try to learn how to evade attacks, you can ||pogo and dash over mawlek to avoid some attacks, and make use of dive a lot, if not for direct damage, to avoid attacks as youre invincible when going down||
||do get greed. Hit him once or twice and back off. If he jumps move from you position. If he shoots a lot of infection jump over him to the other side, if you don’t have many upgrades right now it’s worth waiting till you get them to make the fight easier||
Probably, ||really most stuff gives percent, charms, abilities, trials, pantheons, the grimm troupe update quests, sutprisingly not notches but those are still good to get, getting 2400 essence and talking to seer||
Take off ||compass and steady body||
Bestie they dont ||have compass on||
Eitherway i propose the option again to come back later, even if you ||do kill it, nothing really will happen as you still would need another shard for it to do anything||
So its just going at the same thing over and over again for a reward that wont really do much at the time
where the FUCK do i go after ||beating hornets ass in kingdoms edge||
||so go mines?||

If you want to yeah
||I also have sewers||
Well which one do you want to go to
||i got the kings brand thing but i genuinely dont know where the fuck to use it or even how to use it||
||no tooltip||
Theres quite a few places you can go depending on what youve done, but if you really just want to go straight for progression and discover what to do with that, then : ||the bottom of the map||
||should I buy the lantern from Sly?||
||ive been basically everywhere, my plan is to figure out how to get through the black spaghetti blocking the way to monomon, then figure out how to get to the other dreamer. i already killed herrah, and afaik i have all the nail arts? the only place i havent been is queens gardens because im a pussy and cant swim in acid||
Cool
@robust ridge it turns out someone did in fact build a computer in Terraria. It's officially Turing complete!
||look for king’s brand logo on bottom of ancient basin it will open to king’s brand||
oops this is help
||am I missing something I have the kings mark and half of the white charm and still don’t know how to open those black void pillars||
Can I see your map?
Did you get something from|| Hornet?||
yes ||kings mark||
Yep
Ok but that doesn’t ||open the void things directly unless your talking about the white palace which I already did||
Not quite, but it ||does open a door to get that somewhere old....||
||I BEAT STEEL SOUL IN UNDER 8 HOURS||
GG
UNDER 7 HOURS
Wait...
I got no Achievements
||yeah theres only beat the game and 100% and then beat the game steel soul||
There isn't)
There should be 2 achievements, ||steel soul and 100% steel soul||
I got none 🙁
u might already have it
Maybe somehow
Plus I did it in 6 Hours 42 Minutes
And also got no speedrun achievement
What charms should I use for ||nosk||
||Did you watch to the end of the credits||
Nvm I beat him
Yes
Do I have to beat || Radiance? ||
||for a different ending||
Ok I got it on a different save
What are the best essence sources to get to 1800 to unlock ||white palace||? I tried to beat ||soul tyrant|| and keep failing forever....
||lost kin, the harder version of broken vessel|| is a big chunk
400
Thanks! I need like 480.... so another suggestion or two (in case I already did some) would be nice
||lost kin, white defender, grey prince zote, soul tyrant, failed champion|| all give 300 or more
THERE'S NO ACHIEVEMENTS FOR PLAYSTATION
yes there are
And sorry for the kinda noob question there - I played HK most of the way through a couple years ago but didn't do a lot of the late game stuff.... and now that Silksong is coming out I feel a time pressure to complete more 😅
I kinda relaxed when I got credits the first time... now I have to pick it up and it actually feels hard again
I mean the || Speedruns and Steel Souls ||
That means I'm 1 away from platinum
I just got the game. Any tips or important stuff I should know before diving in?
go into it blind, do not watch any spoilers, the only thing i will tell you is that you can hold down and attack since it isnt intuitive
use the map, it’s very good for blind exploration
Will do! Thanks 😄
I finally did it
||oro and mato attuned||
In ||hog||
Time to get ||P1||
||spell spammer learns to use full nail build. Qs, mop, strength, sbody||
holy
+1 nail user
I'm missing a ||notch so can't use it with qs mop strength||
yeah ima be honest ||its just cuz i need mark of pride as a crutch so now i cant take it off, and qslash and strength is too strong so i never got around to replacing mop with shaman||
i would wean yourself off of ||mop and on to longnail||
the hitbox reduction isn’t as big as the sprite reduction, and it gives you enough room for another ||3 notcher||
but then no ||steady body|| 😔
This is ||my first time using mop lol||
Never got around to ||mantis lords until I beat thk, now I'm going for 100%||
anyways, ||i beat p5 so theres no excuse for me to switch to shaman again||
It's hurt me as well as helped me cuz I was used to not having it on, I realised I'm ||not really using narts as much so I replaced nmg with sbody for a bit, turns out it was helpful||
The only sad part is ||how small shade soul is without shaman, it looks so tiny||
Eh
Style more imp
fair ig
||I'm trying to get pantheon clears to hit 100%, I'm on 99 rn||
Definitely easier ways to ||hit 100%, but I wanna do it in style||
||am I supposed to get D Dash at this point in the game?||
At what point?
what is ||ddash||
i know about ||ddive and ddark, and downdashing with dashmaster||
are you talking about one of those?
||like I have c dash and that||
||ddive||
hey I'm doing ||p3 full bindings|| and either get stuck at ||collector or zote||, any tips?
hello, please spoiler ur message as per channel rules, thank you.
oh sorry
||so I am supposed to get ddive?||
idk if supposed to is the word i would use
it’s one of the ways to get another one of the ways to do something required
it’s a game that gives a lot of freedom to the player, so there’s no right way to progress really
outside of a few required things, but those are more explicit
||but im struggling to get ddive||
i thought you had it
can you not fight ||radiance|| in the ||hall of gods until you fight him in p5?||
||i dont||
yeah, kinda sucks but feels great when u get it
it’s a good thing
will ||hog radiance always be absrad or will attuned be normal radiance||
||then what am I supposed to do?||
Its always ||p5 radience|| but there are mods to fix that if u do mods
also god thats miserable that to get any good practice you need to either ||fight thk every time for less meaningful practice or slog through p5 every time for a chance of practice||
||just killed soul master = you have dive||
whats the name?
||im talking about its upgrad||
if you can’t get it yet don’t get it yet
I forget, lol, haven't looked at mods in a while
remember where it is and come back later
ill look into it i guess, if you remember lmk
alr
So where to?
||hello, i was in the path of pain and i got the kings soul mask and it teleported me outside again, but i didnt get to the famous path of pain part what do i do now?||
where tho, i saw a walkthrough video and he doesnt go back in, also when i go back in some areas have white barriers
after you go up the ||elevator in the main atrium and take the first transition upward, there’s a breakable wall immediately to the left||
good luck!
do you mean here?
oh nvm i found it thank you very much!! ^^

||how is nail sage slys last phase supposed to work? i get the rest but im struggling to not get hit let alone get hits in without getting hit||
||what I normally do is when he dashes toward me and stop, signalling he is about to do his spin attack, I dash away and wait just out side of it so the moment he goes out of it, I can get a hit on him. Another tip is to stay away from corners during that phase and try to use as many spells as you can||
like i usually have enough health to just tank it and burst him down but doesnt feel good
Thats just me tho
||is doin the path of pain necessary 🥀 i am stuck on the first part 😭 ||
||am I supposed to do sewers after mines?||
No it is not, its just a ||parkour course thats meant to challenge you. nearly broke my keyboard beating it lol||
||i got the mask so what do i do now||
||hang on, what mask?||
||kings soul||
is not in ||Path of Pain||
||Oh. Do you have the other half?||
yep i know im just askin as in ||i think i have unlocked one ending where i just beat the vessel, and now i got the mask so what do i do now to get the other engings/ending||
yep
i diddd
||ok. Now you go to the abyss. Go to the bottom in the floor should open up||
it should have been at the end
||im sorry if i sound rude i am tryin to beat the path of pain while typin 🥀 ||
||what i wanted to ask is does beating this challenge give some other ending? or does it not matter whether i beat it or not?||
no it doesn't it's there to challenge yourself when you 100% the game
so are there only 2 endings?
||No, 6||
5 iirc
that's 10
cause that applies to ||every ending||
||no as like his own separate thing||
eh sure
Mb for making it complicated, lets just keep it at ||5 endings|| lol
sure
oh wow
||but yeah, basically, there are 3 endings in the main hk arena and 2 with the pantheons, specifically pantheon 5 or pantheon of hollownest||
||so can anyone tell me in breif what these are||
arena?
Sure
||like the boss room for thk||
understandable
||so the 1st ending is when i beat the vessel without kings soul and take his place
than 2nd and 3rd?||
||2nd ending: you kill the thing behind the orange goop that has corrupted the kingdom.
Ending 3: hornet lets you get in to the area to kill the thing causing the infection but if you just wait she’ll go in a coma/die. You finish the fight with thk and become the vessel but with hornet in the arean, she becomes a dreamer, sealing you both away|| lemme know if you want ||ending 4 and 5||
oh understandable thank you very much! ^^
Np ✌️
(Because I don’t have a clue)
firstly, spoilers, secondly, whenever u dont know what to do fill out ur map
||collector on full bings p3 is actually stumping me, any tips?||
||how do i get through the dark parts of deepnest?, ive been dying back and forth for an hour in here||
||do i just have to rail through it?||
||did you buy the lumfly lantern from sly? If not then definitely do that||
||I also had no idea it existed for a good while when I first played it lol||
do i respond in spoilers
Oh yeah, you gotta put spoilers for anything game related cuz some people might not wanna get spoiled
||where is this||
||If you save sly back in forgotten crossroads (you can save him whenever) then he will return to dirtmouth and re-open his shop, where you can find the lantern||
||thats kinda far||
||do u have any stags that might make it easier?||
Np :)
Please tho, ||collector|| starting to pmo 😭😭
I haven't done ||AB|| so no 😭
Damn 😭 thanks tho
||cyclone slash spam. All of p3ab collectors adds die to one cyclone hit. U can easily clear 2 or even all 3 of the adds per wave with one cyclone slash||
Ah kk thanks
||also a couple other tips for ab collector. U should always go for a shriek when collector jumps over u if u have the soul. U should also dream nail collector during its stagger to get free soul, after which u can heal or shriek as mentioned before||
Greatly apriciate this, u have no idea
||is there a stag around here?||
far left of the area yes
||i assume its gonna be hard to reach without a lantern?||
yes
yeah
so much so that i would say don’t do that
there’s a very nice way to get out without doing all that
keep checking doorways you haven’t explored
||I need help with crystal Guardian||
||good strat for him is to just pogo him when he goes to beam you and then hit him when he isn’t beaming. Ignore hitting him if he triggers the lazers all over the arena||
^ another tip i would give is that ||dashing and using vengeful spirit both stall you in the air, so if you he shoots a laser along the ground you can hop up and wait it out productively that way||
slashing sideways also does damage then, but it’s a little tighter
are these all the ||smaller bubble|| I can get ie the ones you get through getting ||soul vessel fragments||? or is there one more to get?
there is one more
and that counts towarsds ||112|| right
yes
ah shii
good luck!
I found a super dark area that it looks like I could explore. Should I go ahead or will I need the light later?
with silksong coming up, I need to complete the game
you will definitely need light
not definitely, but yes
get light
i have a friend who told me they almost quit the game entirely bc they thought ||the dark area was required without a light||
they did the entire area
i still don’t know how
that's like crazy gamer mode
Fr
ok that's psychopathic to say the least

btw, I remember someone talking about some ||journal|| which you can use to know how many ||bossess and other stuff you have killed in game||. what's the name of that thingy?
||some journal of smth||
||the hunter’s journal||
alr, ima get that rn
yay
could someone give me a link of a video showing where the ||hunter|| is located?
I can't find anything on azalea's yt
oh come on, u dont need a guide for that
i dunno where he at though
||It’s in green path near where u first see hornet, I think||
that was a long time ago
||definitely in greenpath tho||
could you just red mark it on the map or smth
K hang on
thx a ton
Np :)
Hey i have a question. I played hollow knight on PC and keyboard. Do you think it is a good idea to buy a controller for silksong?
do you want to speedrun the game?
Up to u, Ima stick with playing keyboard
Chat, I used keyboard and speedran the game in 2 hours on the dot while also fooling around a bit in said speedrun
keyboard is more precise for that sort of thing, but hk was designed with controller in mind so i wouldn’t be surprised if silksong followed suit
There are little metal statue things around the map that give strike energy. Do those give map complete or anything? I don't necessarily want to hit them if i am full on soul
if you care about that sort of thing
Not competitively but yeah. I had a lot of fun doing speedruns of hollow knight for achievements
No
i guess the only reason to play on controller would be if you have muscle memory with controller
i’ll be playing on controller but i kinda wish i wasn’t
Thanks
oh well
I normally play on controller with other games but for some reason when it came to hollow knight, I found it very uncomfortable to use controller and just wouldn’t perform as well as I would on a keyboard
Donno why
That is the main reason i want to get a controller. I think it will be better with hornet's more acrobatic style of Gameplay
now i’m pretty good at hk with a controller but there’s a lot of limitations compared to what keyboard can do
controller has like 2 advantages and keyboard has a workaround for one of them
I know you guys are a lil crazy , so how many times do I have to hit the ||Crystal Guardian|| with the ||vengeful spirit|| for it to die?
oh shit
do you have the ||charm called “shaman stone”|| equipped
also i love prefacing that question with “i know you guys are a lil crazy”
that’s hilarious
omg lmao uhhhh not really sure
Sorry
i can answer the question, i just need this ^ information
19 without ||Shaman||
10 with ||Shaman||
this is not accounting for ||nail swings||
Yes I do, sorry for the delay, my cat broke a vase
280/30=9.6 i.e 10 hits how'd you get 14
unless I have my damage numbers wrong
I got ||6 notches|| , I have ||grub song, shaman stone,and soul catcher||
||vs shaman|| does 20
||POP PMO||
Yeah I had my damage numbers wrong
I'm scared of this dude, more scared of him than any other enemy
of who
You don’t have to beat it if u don’t wanna
You can leave
||Ok then ur gonna get pissed off. The starting area is light compared to other areas of it||
Not to sound rude
?????????????????
||crystal Guardian||. Ik he ain't necessary,but I want to
||you just gotta grind through it and remember his attack patterns 👍 ||
Stupid question,but I got ||shop keepers key|| who do I give it to
it’s a grind, but you can do it
it’s just a matter of determination
do you know anyone who ||keeps a shop?|| 
maybe someone who looks like the ||key||
Got it
Am i ment to fight ||soul master||
Yes, sooner or later.
Totally normal experience.
Ok
No??? ||The first section is pretty universally considered the second hardest||
||Really? I found it second easiest. Guess it’s just more of your opinion. Last 3 rooms were actual torture for me compared to the first 2||
I beat him but now im lost gang
of ||pop||???
if so, that’s just wrong
the community loves to talk about room 4, and lots of them have a substantial issue with room 3 too
Ok so I’m not crazy
you are definitely not crazy
Ok I have ||7 notches|| , I am using ||shaman, grub song, soul catcher, and sprint master||
Is that good for||crystal Guardian||
No I'd say generally people find the first and last room the hardest
Or I should say checkpoint
As the 2nd part of the first room is literally free
i’ve never heard room 1 before

Should be fine, idk what other charms you have to know what would be better
☹️
Choom
Cyberpunk reference?
||Guys I'm new to this game, is the summoner class viable at all in this game? I heard it's kinda bad||
It's not that great no, but you can make anything in this game work if you want
Wdym by ||summoner class?||
No, I have a cat, and I like keeping flowers in my house
lol, that was a separate observation to the user called choom haha
||weaverlings, grimmchild snd glowing womb probsbly||
Ohh mk
my username has been choombert for a while, friends shortened it to choom, and now lots of people talk to me about cyberpunk 
makes a great conversation topic
||is collector more aggressive in the pantheon because istg he never tried to actually hit you this much||
||my first try on the less than 5 hour achievement and i feel like im not gonna be able to beat thk in time I NEED SOME TIPS PLEASE||
shouldn’t be
||descending dive/d-dark spam||
||don’t get hit by the beams that deal 2 hp, thats a run killer.||
||COLLECTER LITERALLY HIT TRIED HITTING ME 4 TIMES BEFORE JUMPING BACK IN THE CEILING WHILE I WAS TRYING TO DEAL WITH 2 SPREAD APART ADDS AND TRY TO HEAL, WTF||
Make sure u spoiler, but you are at ||the howling peaks, which is the edge of the map on the left side||
i can barely reach that part of the fight lol
I did tho? o3o
The photo isn’t showing up as a spoiler for me :|
that is tagged indeed
Maybe its an ishme then lol
How did I end up there? I was|| going to godhome||
its like a 2% chance
can someone pls help with one issue with hollow knight? pls
I'm trying to ejecute the game from steam, but doesn't work. Like I ejecute but the system says that cannot be ejecuted. I have played the game before, like 3 years ago, and I would like to play again, but I cannot. Anyone knows how to solve this issue?
random secret
can you post like the specific error you are getting ?
I have a feeling as to what the issue would be but seeing the error would probably confirm that suspision
give me a minute
im not sure i want silksong to come out after fighting the character for the first time
Best build for elder hu?
it says: hollow_knight.exe doesn`t respond
thats it ? darn
yeah
i verify and they are all right
downpatching may help if your computer is a 32 bit system, and not 64
is a 64 one
hmm
is very strange dude
youve tried like restarting your pc and doing a full reinstall ?
i uninstalled the game like 3 times and then reinstall it and doesn`t work
downpatching may still help in case your system is actually not 64 bit, and it is very easy to do so like, might as well
?tag steambeta
No tag steambeta found.
and how can i do it?
?tag steambetas
Verify that you are using the correct installer and patch!
- For normal modding you should use a current patch installer (such as Lumafly or Scarab) and you must have Steam Betas set to "None"
- Pirated
copies / Unofficial ports are not supported
- Pirated
- Modding on 1.4.3.2 using "Mod Installer" / "Mod Installer 2" is no longer supported.
- 1.2.2.1 Modding does not have an installer.
- You can type
?tag 1221for info on it.
- You can type
How to check your Steam Beta options:
||whats the strat to kill this guy, or am i not meant to?||
you do that and select 1.4
you go near them, wait t'il they open, get a hit, and dash away
||spells also hit through their shield||
||you can, takes awhile early game tho||
FUCK I DIDNT MAKE IT
gng where do u get the randomizer download?
:(
W pfp tho

If i die at ||nkg|| do i lose ||steal soul||i forgot
?tag lumafly
Lumafly
Lumafly (formerly known as Scarab+) is a mod installer for 1.5 based on Scarab, but updated based on community feedback to fix problems that commonly occur in Scarab, as well as adding additional features.
it’s called Randomizer4
been there
is it?
it says less than 5 hours
it’s sub 5 for the achievement
Lol mb
always has been
i couldve sworn it was 20 and 6-
hello, i have questions about 2 choices (and possibly more i can't think of right now). does letting ||zote|| die and banishing the ||grimm troupe|| lead to less %? or is it the same? and do i have to fight them in the pantheon anyway?
should i?
You only drop a ||maximum of 3000 geo and you get a soul vessel fragment in return||
then not rn
Probably not
ight
||Zotes questlime does not give percent||
And if ||he dies, he won't be in the pantheons||
How many times should I try to beat ||pv in hall of gods ||before I attempt ||p4? I only beat them for the first time just now||
Either a few times in a row or on ||ascended probably||
||Alternatively you can just attempt the pantheon until you get it but that might take longer||
wow that's actually crazy. thank you. what about nkg?
||still no percent but nkg is in the pantheons regardless||
thx
||You can also save Zote and still not have to fight him in the pantheons if you just never unlock the gpz fight||
ah ok
with unlock you mean never using the ||dream nail on the statue33, right? or is having the option to ||dream nail|| it already considered "unlocking"?
I'm not actually sure, gimme a sec I'll Google it
Thank you very much! Then I’ll try to beat them 3-4 times in a row first, and then maybe try || ascended|| after to improve my consistency
||Defeating him is what causes him to be in godhome||
yeah thx. just read it as well. sorry for asking questions that were already in the wiki, i forget how dedicated the fandom is
Please edit your message with spoiler tags
Wait || I just searched and ascended does double damage maybe I won’t try that before I beat p4 then||
Don't worry, it can be hard to find certain pieces of info on the wiki
yeah i looked on the ||gpz|| page instead of ||pantheon of the sage|| and didn't find it there
Tbh by the point that you can do it 4 times in a row, that shouldn't be too difficult
It's one of the fights that's very difficult until you learn it's patterns and then you can very consistently avoid getting hit
||it’s just I’m using a cheesy healing build so I won’t be able to heal back on ascended if I get hit as frequently as I do now, I currently just beat it 3 times in a row so I think I’ll just try more times on attuned only||
If you can do 3, you should be good for the|| pantheon||
Guys, this may be random, but can someone advise me good build for beating ||P5||? I still have no idea how to beat ||Markoth with platforms|| 
||for markoth use grubberfly elegy||
||quickslash, shaman, strength and any two notch combo||
||where is the skill in crystal peak located?||
I use ||spell twister but sbody, grubsong and nmg are also good||
Up, up left, down left
Basically||go right to the top, across a bit and then down||
I think I understand, thanks!
||Elegy|| is only really good for ||radiant|| and not worth it to slightly help with only one fight in the entire||pantheon||
My lappy overheats when I play hk
||I mean you can change your build at the benches so I think it is worth it||
Even tho I can play other games pretty easily it overheat at hk
I cant even change the resolution settings
True but that's the same section as ||nkg|| who is much harder
Yeah you are right
I do so yet rarily
Anyone got Any solution?
If it has vents on the bottom, elevating it helps
Hk specific though idk
Maybe do a big cleaning, removing the dust
Yeah i just did . And weirdly i can run spider man remastered at 2k res at 88 90 temps
But hk idk how heats cpu to 92-93
What are you trying to run it on?
im trying to run hollow knight trough steam
Is it a system problem?
i dont know
What happens when you try?
it says: hollow_knight.exe doesn`t respond
How well can you run other games?
the thing is that i already pplayed hollow knight in this pc like 3 years ago
but now doesn`t work
Tbh my knowledge on this subject is very limited, other than maybe restart your computer, I don't have any ideas

||Best charms for p5? Specifically the last stretch||
I finally found ||Fungal Wastes||, but I don't know how to get up here..
remapped layout, any suggestions or any issue I might face in future?

||is it better to focus on a more heal heavy build for the last stretch?||
found it, thanks
Guys , we're should I go , I can't find the next place

can i plz get help with 4 th phase of ||absrad||
in ascended mode
thats why i lose ||4|| at once
||Absrad or just P5 in general I haven’t played in 6 months and I never beat P5||
u didnt need to reply 😭
Pogo
||You can use dive for safe damage and try to stay pogoing by using wings before the teleport and dashing to where she appears||
well i dont see any other way out of there
4th phase is the phase on the platforms
ye
||Stay to the bottom three and wait for her to come to you, when she does, if it's nails dodge then shriek as much as you can or spam up nail, same for lasers, use dive for orbs and for the wall like attacks, attack her and then dodge when they reach you before continuing to attack||
You can also use ||d-dark for the nails if you don't have time to react||
Does that help?
can someone help with this?
Hi yall, I'm trying to calculate the geo earnings I'm getting from a farm I found, but I cant figure out the formula - i get 112 geo a run, and each run is 45 seconds
I think getting ||Hera|| is the only way to leave
||hera?|| whats that
112/45 for geo/second
can anyone help me progress hollow knight im kind of early game and lost like i have NO idea what to do
is there anyway to manipulate the RNG???... ur tips r good but i already know them
Dang thanks 😭 its midnight where I am and I'm exhausted. To be clear, once I get that answer I multiply it for 60 for minutes, then that by 60 for hours?
Yes
I might be able to help, I'm mid game
Cheers
alright im trying to find gruz mother i can screenshare in vc
Right, dm me
Not without exact frame perfect inputs
im not sure if i have the requirements
Yes you can and I think have to kill it, keep going and you'll figure out what I meant
i cant kill it tho, or its just really hard
Wait for it's mask to open, hit it then ||dash away||
Nice
how do i lead the orbs to strike the platforms
||Stand on a platform either with a platform between you and absrad or dodge just before it hits ulyou so it hits the platform instead||
Are you guys talking about ||absrad||
||Also be warned that the orbs are invincible for a few seconds after spawning so can go through platforms if they live only just spawned||
@sudden prairie this might help #hk-help message
||there's a section for each phase||
what do i do after finding this
||dream nail||
dont think i have that
how do i get out?
Go left and down
||what do i do here?||
Go back up
||Look for a crumbly floor to use dive on||
got it ty yall
damn
This should be in art gallery
well its a bautiful draawing king
the room where i respawn?
No more left
||From where the thing you can inspect is||
ohh i found it somehow
also do the ||guys that kidnap you say anything important? because i rushed to sit on the bench before talking to them||
heh
guys
Yes?
||i am usinhg unb. strgth, quick and shaman and grubsong and SB... should i make any changes for ASCENDED||
probably not
Those are good I think
where do i go now?
i found some like dark place in deepnest i was wondering whether i need some sort of item to be able to see?
i see.
||From there you can go anywhere again, use dive to go to new places (or claw) you previously couldn't reach||
||IE do you remember seeing crumbly floors anywhere||
tysm
