[upper lion]

800 GEO?

WTF

best way to grind geo?

[frail shard]

||sell your relics||

[simple island]

They are definitely a hard one
There is no going around it, ||the fight will require some like 50 attempts in the hall of gods||

[upper lion]

who is there

[frail shard]

go in and find out

[upper lion]

i dont want to waste a key

[grizzled hatch]

|| it’s worth it ||

[upper lion]

there is no one here

[grizzled hatch]

Keep going up

[upper lion]

nvm

yo who tf is she

she gives nothing

[gentle frost]

D:

[grand ruin]

where to now ? i have the soul release and defeated 2 bosses ?

[gentle frost]

wait ||do i not have to defeat it in order to unlock it in the hall thing? just have to fight it?||

[grizzled hatch]

|| keep exploring the tall area above you ||

[frail shard]

Go where you havent been yet

[buoyant vale]

so i got this thing and in the 2nd pic i got it marked an area ||where there is a grub after the pounding things,|| can the thing from the first pic help getting that ||grub||?

[grand ruin]

tall

[grizzled hatch]

Yes

[gentle frost]

oh thank god

[grizzled hatch]

You just need to encounter it and then || it’ll be in the hall of gods ||

[grizzled hatch]

|| it can’t, it’s a dashing puzzle||

[grizzled hatch]

|| yes, the room above you with the platforms ||

[buoyant vale]

can the ||black dash help with it? i hate that puzzle so much||

[grand ruin]

Ok then

[grizzled hatch]

|| don’t think it does||

[buoyant vale]

dang

[grizzled hatch]

|| that puzzle is very annoying, unironically harder than some of the hardest platforming areas lol ||

|| just be patient with it, there’s some charms that can help but idk what you have yet ||

[buoyant vale]

can that thing help with ||mantis lords and the mini boss in the elegant room?||

[modest kestrel]

Any suggestions to buy item which are really good , I am at || city of tears || and have some money .

[grizzled hatch]

|| you have the shadow dash?||

[buoyant vale]

no

[grizzled hatch]

|| have you found the nailsmith?||

[grizzled hatch]

|| oh you meant dream shield ||

[modest kestrel]

Yeah did that

[buoyant vale]

these are my charms

[grizzled hatch]

|| dreamshield is an ok charm, there’s better for those bosses||

[modest kestrel]

Btw I have 500 right now

[grizzled hatch]

|| you’re pretty early in the game. There’s some charms and abilities you’ll get later that’ll help with the dash puzzle||

[modest kestrel]

And most of the chamss are 200 to 300

[buoyant vale]

okkk

[modest kestrel]

So any good early on ?

[grizzled hatch]

|| I don’t think there’s anything else to buy in city of tears other than the nailsmith and stag stations ||

[modest kestrel]

There are many shops in ||forgotten crossroads and in dairmonuth is there any good cham ||

[grizzled hatch]

|| btw you should be more than ready for mantis lords by this point ||

[buoyant vale]

you can keep fighting this guy repeatedly for 45 coins, that's what i do if i am short on cash

[buoyant vale]

they scare me

[grizzled hatch]

|| shaman stone is good, I believe longnail is sold up there. That’s good ||

[modest kestrel]

He respawn again ?

[grizzled hatch]

|| no ||

[buoyant vale]

ye, just ||sit on the bench near the station and climb up and fight again||

[grizzled hatch]

|| you can do it, soul master is a harder boss||

[quiet oasis]

whats the best strat for ||markoth in p5?||

[grizzled hatch]

|| nuke with spells ||

[modest kestrel]

Ohh nixe thanks

[frail shard]

||save your spells until he has his second shield and then nuke||

[quiet oasis]

im not using a ||spell build||

[grizzled hatch]

|| don’t need to||

[quiet oasis]

i have too little hp for ||grey prince zote||

[limpid ibex]

I'm aware I'm going to be told this is a skill issue, but how can I cheese / trivialize ||the collector||... they're so annoying and I just want the grub map.

[grizzled hatch]

|| go for his jars the second you see them fall||

[frail shard]

||make sure to have a strong enough nail to 1 shot every enemy. Then stay close to him so he jumps over you and spam your nail||

[limpid ibex]

||I try but the aspids get me||

[sharp hemlock]

||hey guys I’m trying to get the hunters mark for the achievement, I also have the pale court mod installed, I’m missing one entry but I have completed everything, checked the wiki too||

What do I do ;-;

[grizzled hatch]

|| you need to kill the enemies immediately before focusing the collector||

[grizzled hatch]

|| have you tried going back to the hunter?||

[sharp hemlock]

yes

||he says I’m close or smth||

[modest kestrel]

Bro , he is just dead

[frail shard]

He means the ||husk guard|| in front of him i believe

[grizzled hatch]

|| that’s weird||

[sharp hemlock]

it is

[modest kestrel]

Oh yeah he respawned

[upper lion]

where tio get the ||tram pass||

[buoyant vale]

i made a mistake, i meant this one

[grizzled hatch]

|| deepnest||

[upper lion]

em so i guess its time to finally go there

[grizzled hatch]

|| have fun ||

[upper lion]

trauma time

[grizzled hatch]

|| make sure you grab the lantern from sly before heading there again ||

[upper lion]

i do have that ty

[grizzled hatch]

👍

[sharp hemlock]

well uh

is there any

||entrance from pale court||

I’m missing?

[grizzled hatch]

|| pale court is a mod, you shouldn’t need those ||

[vapid pilot]

am i missing smth ,ive cleared almost all possible paths and killed like 2 main bosses?

what happens if i hit npcs

[grizzled hatch]

Nothing

[vapid pilot]

how does one differentiate npcs from mobs?

[grizzled hatch]

|| go to where the creature with the shell is blocking your path ||

[vapid pilot]

also how much damage does my B do compared to my nail? like 4 times?

[grizzled hatch]

Npcs don’t attack you

[vapid pilot]

where was it

[azure blade]

so ||lifeblood heart|| is just an objectively worse version of ||unbreakable heart||?

[vapid pilot]

do the mobs have red eyes ,so that i dont get too close to them before realizing?

[grizzled hatch]

|| the tall area with the platforms on the very left side of the crossroads||

[sudden prairie]

guys

[vapid pilot]

can you mark it on my map

[grizzled hatch]

|| I mean you’ll know because they’ll attack you or you can attack them ||

[sudden prairie]

plz gimme some tips for ||absrad phase 6||

[azure blade]

||you can interact to talk to npcs and they won't move||

[vapid pilot]

is it easier to play on keyboard and mouse?

than controller?

[azure blade]

yeah probably

[vapid pilot]

wtf

[azure blade]

well you can be much more precise with inputs

[vapid pilot]

can i even complete with controller

[vapid pilot]

yea

[azure blade]

yeah obviously

[vapid pilot]

i keep attacking up sometimes

[azure blade]

||yeah if you look up and then attack it attacks upwards||

[vapid pilot]

but itll be 1000 times harder

[grizzled hatch]

|| one of these 2 areas ||

[vapid pilot]

is this game meant for knm?

[azure blade]

not really, computer is just better for harder bosses I assume

[vapid pilot]

thank you so much ,youre a god

[sudden prairie]

i am on ascended so ||one hit deals 4 damage||

[azure blade]

you can definitely complete on controller, computer is just always going to make most games easier

[grizzled hatch]

|| just a future tip, if you see an area on your map that’s unexplored then you should go there. It’ll help you a lot when you get lost||

[azure blade]

dodge

[azure blade]

try beating ||attuned gruzmother|| first

[celest shadow]

I feel bad complaining about how hard ||Failed Guardian|| is after seeing ||Path of Pain|| accidentally on a reel!

[sudden prairie]

||u do realise that i am talking bout ascended absrad ryt?||

[sudden prairie]

wtf?

[vapid pilot]

which button do most people use for dash and focus

[short quarry]

|| ||

any one know how to spoiler a picture?

anyway how can i get past this i hear the map guy humming

[upper lion]

this

thingy

[short quarry]

where is it

[upper lion]

above the photo

like when u send it

above it

[short quarry]

oh

[short quarry]

well do you know what to do?

[upper lion]

em send the ss again

but i just got back so

[blazing pike]

Is this boss beatable?

[azure blade]

yeah I know

[azure blade]

||I use shift for dash and q to focus but it's up to you honestly||

[jagged wing]

yes but its not worth it

[vapid pilot]

what do u use for right click ,is it stupid to use right click for dash

[azure blade]

nah it's not stupid, I don't use right click at all though

[merry totem]

||IS THIS DEEPNEST SKINWALKER BOSS SUPPOSED TO BE THIS HARD||

[sudden prairie]

||absrad last phase guide anyone?||

[merry totem]

tf

[azure blade]

I mean no controls are wrong as long as they work for you

[short quarry]

yo anyone know im stuck andi want a map

[azure blade]

don't die

[vapid pilot]

oh thank you

[jagged wing]

the map for the area you are in now you cant acces yet. you should probably go back to the previous room and keep going down

[short quarry]

bruhh, but i came from down and i checked everything pretty sure

[jagged wing]

could you send a screen of your map

[upper lion]

ohhh u need some upgrade

[short quarry]

why u think im tryna get the map for this area lol i dont have a map

[ionic bluff]

||am i supposed to be doing the colloseum trial to be able to get up to dirtmouth or am i currently fighting for no reason right now||

[sullen trail]

Im trying to go for speedrun 2 right now (||steel soul||), and I just got ||dash||. Does ||greenpath|| have any other POIS or can I save reload back to ||ancestral mound bench||?

[short quarry]

or do you mean map in general?

[south cobalt]

WHO TOLD TEAM CHERRY TO ||BUFF DREAM SHIELD TO MAKE THE MOST OP BOSS EVER||

[karmic glade]

you technically can get there without the required upgrade, but its really techy

[south cobalt]

||MARKOTH IS SO ANNOYING||

[hushed folio]

You don't need to

[jagged wing]

In general

[alpine comet]

reload back tho ||steel soul speedrun was not a good idea||

[sullen trail]

Trying to get all the ||steel soul|| and speedrun achievements in 1 run

[karmic glade]

first time i got the map i did it the techy way

[dim stratus]

do y'all think is it worth it to sacrifice ||quickslash|| for ||quick focus because I get hit a bunch sometimes|| and I mostly use spells so yea

[ionic bluff]

m

[short quarry]

well its literally just this i went to the ||fungal place|| and have the || claw thing from the mantis place|| but didnt find a map for that either. where the fuck are the maps lol

[ionic bluff]

yeah alright

thanks

[south cobalt]

Heck naw

[sullen trail]

no, ||quickslash|| is one of the best charms in the game. and if you're using spells then you shouldnt be using soul for healing

[south cobalt]

Much better to just learn boss attacks till it's just second nature than sacrifice ||qs||

[jagged wing]

then youll want to explore the south of ||forgotten crossroads||

[azure blade]

|| 1. not a boss 2. yes you can technically kill them ||

[short quarry]

for what

[jagged wing]

the next area

[short quarry]

did you see this mesage

[azure blade]

you can get past it MUCH, much later

[jagged wing]

assuming youve beat a boss in ||greenpath||

[sullen trail]

Does time spent paused count toward ingame time for speedrun?

[hushed folio]

You can continue on the same path, it leads to the same area

[south cobalt]

Tags pls

[alpine comet]

no

[south cobalt]

Ty

[dim stratus]

or is it better to use the uh ||shape of unn|| instead of ||quick focus|| because even with the pure damage combo (|| perm strength quickslash and shamen stone||)still have 2 slots left

[azure blade]

unless that boss is || massive moss charger||

[hushed folio]

Did you find the ||stag|| in ||queen's station||

[short quarry]

||u mean the fast travel thing yeah i did ||

[alpine comet]

||shape of unn is cool but you cant dodge all attacks while using it, depends on the boss you are fighting||

[hushed folio]

The map guy is near the station, head ||right one screen and then down||

[modest kestrel]

Ok I am stuck here , I just want to get out of here and I can't go from up also and I don't have the light charm

[dim stratus]

I mean I can sometimes ||slither under the radiances' horizontal nail attack|| so it is kinda useful if I don't have the ||shade dash or descending dark|| ready

[short quarry]

map guy for what area ? also, do you have|| to buy a toll every time you want travel? i already paid the toll earlier but relaunched the game and i have to pay it again||

[thick wing]

where can I find path of pain?

[vapid pilot]

does the game punish you ,if you heal half and let go then start healing again?

[alpine comet]

||oh you are fighting radiance , then use it imo||

[hushed folio]

For the ||fungal area||
You can't buy a map for the ||jellyfish area|| yet

Also yes to the toll
||You'll have to pay for every station||

[modest kestrel]

??

[hushed folio]

Head to where your shade is
Go up
And to the right

[alpine comet]

yeah you lose the soul spent during heal

[short quarry]

||ohh i went there, ive been tehre before, i had to go back up to dirtmouth, and buy one from the lady, but its not on my map yet. not sure why because i explored the whole place ||

[modest kestrel]

Is there a || stag station || ?

[hushed folio]

Not there

[modest kestrel]

Then how can I get of out of this place

[hushed folio]

Explore more, you get an ability that helps you with that

[modest kestrel]

Ok

[short quarry]

||its literally saying that i Do not have a map for this area. but this doesnt make sense i swear to god i went up and bought it ||

[hushed folio]

Maybe you bought a different map?

[mellow depot]

I've turned off native control input, but made it so that my controller maps to keyboard inputs, but hollow knight doesn't recognize keyboard inputs from my controller

[short quarry]

no definitely the right map it was the only one except pins in the shop

[modest kestrel]

You mean this path

[hushed folio]

You can only buy a map from the lady if you've beaten the area's boss
Maybe you bought the ||quill|| perhaps?

[short quarry]

whats the boss of the area? i dont remember finding a boss

[hushed folio]

Back to the left, then up iirc

[hushed folio]

It's a boss in the area where you got ||mantis claw||

[short quarry]

oh really? i thought that place was really small just a building or something. ill go back and have a look i dont remember missing anything tho

acc how do i even get back there

[hushed folio]

You'll need to smack a switch but yes 👀
But also, do check the area near the ||stag station|| as your previous screenshot shows you haven't actually got the map for that area yet

It's a bit of a trek
Where are you right now?

[short quarry]

broo whatt? am i just doghsit at exploring i cant find anything man . where abouts in the thingy

[rocky fiber]

any tip against the crystal shooting bugs in a room with little footing? They are driving me insane

Any charms or strats i should have?

[hushed folio]

Pray and slash wildly
Also

1. You can ||slash at the crystal they shoot to deflect it||
2. You can also ||pogo the turning platform to reset it||

[short quarry]

||nahh station is empty i stg wdym??||

[hushed folio]

Wha

[modest kestrel]

do I need the light charm to progress in that area

[rocky fiber]

i do try to slash at the crystal but their hitboxes somehoe feel so off compared to other projectiles

[hushed folio]

In certain parts you do, but for where you care currently, no

[rocky fiber]

i have no problem with deflecting other projectiles but the crystals? they evade me every time

[short quarry]

u said to check but ive checked everywher

[modest kestrel]

Ok

[rocky fiber]

also their shooting speed is always a bit faster than i expect it to be

[acoustic sigil]

Something like this

[hushed folio]

Can you (spoiler tag) and send a screenshot of your game or where you are

[rocky fiber]

if i could get rid of one enemy in this game it would be the crystal shooting bug

[gentle frost]

where do i sell stuff

[hushed folio]

Oh you sweet summer child

[hushed folio]

In ||city of tears||

[short quarry]

||legit just in the station you said to check the stag area||. but theres noooothing

[gentle frost]

WHERE in there

[hushed folio]

Alright so go up, right to the next screen, and then down

[short quarry]

this area??

[hushed folio]

At ||Lemm's place||
Have you unlocked the area? It's in the building to the left of the ||knight statue||

[hushed folio]

No, that's the same screen
Go up then right to the next screen

[rocky fiber]

i am in my third playthrough and i wont change my mind

it's mainly because of the ||desolate dive upgrade|| room

[short quarry]

what back in ||fungal????||

[rocky fiber]

if that section was removed id be fine with them

[hushed folio]

Yup, now go right and down

[short quarry]

what am i looking for again?

[hushed folio]

Okay you know what i agree

[craggy bloom]

chat i can't beat|| Hornet 2nd fight|| what do i do?

[hushed folio]

I thought you want a map of that area?

[craggy bloom]

i have the first nail upgrade 5 masks

[short quarry]

right yeah? the guys not there tho

[hushed folio]

[craggy bloom]

one soul vessel

[hushed folio]

You'll need more

[celest shadow]

@aureum did you 100% the game?

[craggy bloom]

more what?

[hushed folio]

He should be

[rocky fiber]

i didn't check the percentage but i did get the "true" ending

[hushed folio]

More upgrades, you could get the ||second, even third nail upgrades and definitely more masks||

[celest shadow]

@Aureum that's my goal but I don't think I'm going to get there. I'm getting too frustrated with the ||dream warriors||

[craggy bloom]

i don't have much geo

[short quarry]

why im corny 😭

[rocky fiber]

oh yeah i struggled with them too much😔

[hushed folio]

Oh huh
But you didn't have the map?
Also that means you beat the ||mantis lords?||

[hushed folio]

Sell some ||relics|| or farm i guess?

[short quarry]

||i said i bought it from the shop , but its not coming up on the map yet ||

[celest shadow]

I'm getting two hits before I die. I don't know what is fun about this difficulty level.

[acoustic sigil]

Have you set on a bench since then

[short quarry]

man im ngl this game is SOOOOOO confusingggg

[short quarry]

yes

[hushed folio]

It should come up right after you bought it, idk what went wrong then
You got the ||quill|| yeah?

[acoustic sigil]

That doesn't matter

[short quarry]

idk whats going on im ngl

[hushed folio]

Maybe try restarting idk

[acoustic sigil]

||Can you go to iselda and show her stock||

[short quarry]

gonna take me a sec but ill try

wait

does the game not auto save????

i swear it said it saves auto matically

[celest shadow]

It does

you just rez at the last bench you saved at

[short quarry]

|| but i bought the thing at the shop,, but its now there agian now im just confused ||

[buoyant vale]

so i am in this room and its full of ||aspids||

[acoustic sigil]

That is how that room is supposed to look yes

[acoustic sigil]

Are you sure you pressed confirm and not back

[short quarry]

nah definitely

[acoustic sigil]

Well might have glitched then

Problem solved

[buoyant vale]

How many do I have to fight and what's the reward

[short quarry]

btw, the autosave, is it a fake auto save or a real one

as in, does it "save every 5 minutes" or does it save everything you do

like will it save if i alt f4

[acoustic sigil]

||There are 4 rounds with each like 3 aspids||

[acoustic sigil]

It saves when you exit with save and quit

It does not save when you alt f4

[short quarry]

oh god

[acoustic sigil]

Force closing a game is generally never a good idea

[short quarry]

this is like the 2nd single player game ive ever played in my life, its habit from multiplayer games . OK ill save and quit from now on problem solved thanks

[celest shadow]

Yeah I'm done with this game I think lol

[acoustic sigil]

What are you stuck on

[ionic bluff]

||whats the closest spot from dirthmouth to farm geo||

[celest shadow]

I'm getting facerolled by ||failed guardian|| I don't think I will be progressing much further.

[acoustic sigil]

||Above the crossroads stag there is that big enemy that drops 45 geo||

[jade sedge]

Do you want help with it or?

[ionic bluff]

i remember that

thanks

[acoustic sigil]

You can also leave it for later, you probably don't have to do it rn

[rapid peak]

Is your goal to ||beat every boss or to just reach the "true" ending||?

[celest shadow]

@rapid peak Prior to realizing how difficult this was going to be I was hoping to 100

[rapid peak]

Gotcha.
If it helps, I slammed my head against that guy last night for an hour before calling it quits

[celest shadow]

It definitely helps to know i'm not alone. I'm sure I will try it again later but right now I am too mad. Rage quit lol

[rapid peak]

But I think ||most of the boss refights are close to impossible for mere mortals without grabbing all upgrades first||

[acoustic sigil]

You definitly shouldn't do it undergeared no. But ||failed champion|| imo is the hardest of all the refights

[rapid peak]

And according to the wiki the ||boss refights do not count towards percentage||, that right?

[azure blade]

|| I left during the thing where you banish grimm, and the guy disappeared. Can I get him to come back or no?||

[acoustic sigil]

They don't give a direct %, you do need them for a % later down the road

[celest shadow]

I don't see anything else I can do until I have ||1800 Essence||

[acoustic sigil]

You are out of luck then

[rapid peak]

You mean the ||Godmaster stuff||?

[acoustic sigil]

Can you send a screenshot of your inventory

[azure blade]

oh ok so should I just || complete the ritual ||

[acoustic sigil]

No

[ionic bluff]

farm

[rapid peak]

Okay hit me, what am I missing

[celest shadow]

No way i'm farming

[acoustic sigil]

||1800 and 2400 essence both are a %, 1800 essence also is needed for another %||

[rapid peak]

||You do not need to fight all bosses again to reach 1800.||

[rapid peak]

Yes, but a) ||to reach 100% you can leave 16% on the ground|| and b) ||the 1800 can be reached easily enough with skipping a few refights||

[acoustic sigil]

12% and I'm aware

You just asked about if they give a %

[simple island]

You never have to navigate ||dark rooms|| dw
I mean feel free to try but…

[rapid peak]

Spoiler tags, mate (unless my Discord bugged out again)

[acoustic sigil]

Please delete your message as it's not spoiler tagged

[tacit oracle]

Okay sorry

[tacit oracle]

Sorry I forgot mb

[acoustic sigil]

All good

[tacit oracle]

I'm kinda new here. I'll make sure for next time th9

[rapid peak]

Fair enough, I didn't phrase it that precisely. I stand by that they are technically ||not all required||, but I see your point

[acoustic sigil]

||Very technically you can just farm enemies for 45 hours but yeah||

[azure blade]

if you ||banish the troupe|| you can't get the ||unbreakable charms || anyway so I guess it's not too bad

[rapid peak]

I mean únless I'm miscounting there is ||3200 Essence floating around and you only need 2400||

So you need to ||fight some refights, but still not all||

[acoustic sigil]

Yes

||If you haven't saved zote, all but 1||

[rocky fiber]

what's the earliest ||pale ore|| i can get

[jagged wing]

both please spoiler your messages

[rocky fiber]

i have to spoiler ||pale ore||?

[jagged wing]

yes you do

[rocky fiber]

oh mb

[jagged wing]

and could you send a screen of your map and inventory?

[rocky fiber]

sorry i dont have access to my switch rn

but i do have ||dash and mantis claw and crystal surge||

[acoustic sigil]

That also needs to be spoiler tagged

Any in game item/name needs to be (practically)

[rocky fiber]

oh dang it

sorry

[acoustic sigil]

You can't really access one yet, they generally are at the edge of the map

[pallid sundial]

Can someone help me with a boss? It's a spoiler. It'll be on PlayStation SharePlay.

||Lost Kid||

[rocky fiber]

mm maybe i should go for the ||one at nosk bossfight||

i assume one at ||crystal peaks|| is only accessible with ||monarch wing||

[jagged wing]

you could ||nosk isnt that hard of a boss||

[jagged wing]

sorta, you can do it with some fancy tricks but its not that worth it

[rocky fiber]

aight into ||deepnest|| i go

[jagged wing]

gl

[rocky fiber]

thank you i'll need it

[royal rapids]

any game related noun

we’re not subtle here

[modest kestrel]

|| i saw a YouTube short and some one did up dash so when will I get is it a mid game or end game?? ||

[acoustic sigil]

That would've been a mod

Or 90 degree rotated footage

[modest kestrel]

Like he had wings type

Not full up

||But he went up with wings||

[jagged wing]

you mean the ||monarch wings||?

[modest kestrel]

I guess

[royal rapids]

that is a later game upgrade yes

[jagged wing]

i mean its probably like late game

[modest kestrel]

Ohh ok

[azure blade]

|| You can fully beat the game without ever finding them||

I did that

so you might just never get them

[modest kestrel]

Ohh , i guess they are some corner of the map

In *

[azure blade]

but yeah late game I'd say

[stark fiber]

Ok so do I outright fight ||Lost Kin|| or go to ||get the Ore and upgrade my nail a third time||?

[jagged wing]

if you think you can beat the ||lost kin|| do that if your not that confident ||go upgrade your nail first||

[acoustic sigil]

If you find it too hard currently there is no shame in going to get more upgrades

[stark fiber]

||getting my ass beaten because I can't heal in time||

[jagged wing]

then just go ||upgrade your nail first||

[stark fiber]

Oki

[viral finch]

It’s more mid game

[viral finch]

||Broken vessel ||

[modest kestrel]

Is it after || city of tears||

[viral finch]

Its after ||city 2||

[rapid peak]

You say that, but ||I have seen a let's play where the guys somehow reached Lost Kin before ever triggering the cutscene in the city because they stumbled through deepnest and right into the tram||

[azure blade]

I mean it's late game compared to when you fight the final boss

[viral finch]

Yeah you ||could also go through mantis lords ||

[viral finch]

Are you talking ||radiance||

[azure blade]

nah I mean || thk||

[viral finch]

That’s not the final boss

[azure blade]

ohhhhh

[viral finch]

It’s a cover up

[azure blade]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'

[viral finch]

Should have spoilers that

[azure blade]

it's usually gonna be the second last ability you get

[azure blade]

it's going to be a while before you get it

[tame heart]

it's the final boss ||of the normal ending||

[modest kestrel]

Ok

[fading pewter]

is the ||wayward compass charm|| useful

[steel cliff]

Yes. ||You can see where you are on the map. Never take it off while you’re exploring or you will get lost. ||

[fading pewter]

ok

im using|| longnail waywords compass and dashmaster|| are they good ones or should i try get different ones

[shy reef]

i swear beating ||thk|| in the 5 hour speedrun thing is impossible bro

[knotty cypress]

who should i fight after the soul master

[fringe lark]

Fireborn has a really good guide on a steam community page somewhere

[shy reef]

ik the problem is the ||final boss||

[fading pewter]

guys what do i do here

[icy frigate]

What do you want to do?

[fading pewter]

idk

the floor rumbles when i walk over it

i was assuming there is something below it

[icy frigate]

did you try everything?

[fading pewter]

wdym

[icy frigate]

nailing it or jumping on it idk

[fading pewter]

yes

[icy frigate]

then I think you should leave this room for later and discover new places

[fading pewter]

ok

[icy frigate]

||Any tips to beat easily theses 2 bosses in p5?? I can no hit NKG & pure vessel but Markoth is so annoying 💀 and I die to Zote bc I start with 3/4 masks… ||

[tranquil elm]

||for markoth I recommend just stabbing him a lot and bump into him and then heal when he does spinny thing, however this works best with the build I’m using of shape of unn, quick focus, deep focus, grubsong and thorns of agony, so I’m not sure how well it would work for the other ones. Shape of unn also allows for healing during when he throws nails at you so I highly recommend my current build. For zote I mostly also just punch him a lot until staggered and then heal. You can also heal when he summons zotelings and also right after he attacks||

[shy reef]

FINALLY GOT THE ACHIEVEMENTS

[fringe lark]

||I recommend nail arts during first phase and then spam abyss shriek during second||

[knotty cypress]

did you kill ||soul master||

[acoustic sigil]

Please edit your message with spoiler tags

[knotty cypress]

[azure blade]

you'll find out what to do later because you need an ability

[azure blade]

[fading pewter]

i dont think so

[azure blade]

which bosses have you even beaten yet

[knotty cypress]

what was the last boss you killed

[azure blade]

also spoiler the name

[fading pewter]

i dont really remember

[knotty cypress]

btw what should i do after getting ||crystal heart||

[fading pewter]

i killed a ||bug boss that released many of the little baby bugs|| but the last like normal boss i killed was ||mantis lord||

[azure blade]

so you have ||claw||?

[acoustic sigil]

Go to places you previously couldn't reach

Look at your map

[fading pewter]

yes

[acoustic sigil]

Go to unexplored exits

[knotty cypress]

what place

[fading pewter]

thats my map right now if it helps

[acoustic sigil]

There is not one specific place

[azure blade]

just expore ||fungal|| and you'll find where to go

[acoustic sigil]

You can go literally anywhere you want

[fading pewter]

ok

[knotty cypress]

okay who is the boss i am looking for

[acoustic sigil]

Again, not one specific thing

[knotty cypress]

||hornet 2?||

[acoustic sigil]

No that's for later

[azure blade]

yeah but it's probably the best place you can go at that point

[knotty cypress]

||double jump||

[acoustic sigil]

I was not talking about the dude needing to explore ||fungal||

[zinc rover]

||there are a lot of places in greenpath you can now reach||

[balmy lagoon]

Yo what the hell, who was that

[acoustic sigil]

Sure

[acoustic sigil]

Continue playing to find out

[azure blade]

oh mb

[azure blade]

you should have already found places that need ||crystal dash||

[balmy lagoon]

I’m trying but I can’t get a nap to the green area to save my life

[acoustic sigil]

It's further in the area so just keep going

[acoustic chasm]

How do I get to the ||dreamer||

[knotty cypress]

yea but i forgot

[acoustic chasm]

There’s a metal door blocking my path that way

[acoustic sigil]

Where

[azure blade]

spoiler

[acoustic sigil]

Then you didn't look around in the room properly

There is a lever in that

[acoustic chasm]

Ok

[azure blade]

they're pretty recogniseable on the map

[knotty cypress]

can you send one?

[still plinth]

Are ||pantheons real death|| in ||steel soul||

[acoustic sigil]

No

[azure blade]

you need an ability or there's a skip

[knotty cypress]

last time i played this game was last year i dont rmmbr anything past mid game

[acoustic sigil]

In metroidvanias such as Hollow Knight, you collect upgrades as you play, allowing you to reach new areas. If you don't think you can reach somewhere, you probably can't. Come back later when you have an upgrade that allows you to reach it.

Also delete your image as it isn't spoiler tagged

[azure blade]

now that I checked they're not actually that easy to tell

[glacial mango]

Later you will be able to cross it

[azure blade]

for me I just marked certain areas I couldn't get to

[shut kernel]

||Which charms are best to fight soul master? I want to beat him asap because I hate soul sanctum so much 🥀 ||

[balmy lagoon]

Man I love the feeling of exploring and starting to hear singing from a distance

[acoustic sigil]

What you have atm is fine

[azure blade]

||It's usually long tunnels that you haven't explored the end of||

you can't yet

[shut kernel]

Ooo okay thanksss, I just acquired ||spell twister|| so wanted to try it out !!

[acoustic chasm]

It’s blocked off aswell

[acoustic sigil]

Did you find the bench

[acoustic chasm]

Yea

[normal magnet]

||guys i started playing again after 2 year and im at the city of tears, but i dont remember where i have to go, im next to the guy selling the map, can someone help?||

[still plinth]

[acoustic sigil]

Can you send a pic of your inventory

[azure blade]

can I see your inventory?

[fading pewter]

i found the || nailsmith|| but im too poor to do anything

[azure blade]

you might be missing something

[acoustic sigil]

No he's not, that's an obstacle passed below that

[acoustic sigil]

Go there

[azure blade]

oh you have ||wings||

[acoustic chasm]

I’m trying to kill the big guy down there

[acoustic chasm]

Yes

[acoustic sigil]

Yes you need to do that to progress

[azure blade]

you can totally get that || dreamer|| then

[acoustic sigil]

||You were probably trying to beat the boss in the soul sanctum (check your map)||

[acoustic chasm]

Dude idk how I’m supposed to kill this thing

It does double damage and blocks like everything

[hushed folio]

||ddive|| is the answer to every problem you have in hollow knight

But also, pogo helps a bit

[fading pewter]

after i speak to the ||girl in the city of tears do i go back to the black egg temple||

[tame saddle]

Why Hollow knight crash on my PC on Ubuntu 24.04 ?

[winter helm]

How Can I add visible keystrokes on hollow knight guys

[hushed folio]

No need

[acoustic sigil]

Could be loads of reason, but I'd make a post in #1057825333841240104 with the vanilla flair

[acoustic chasm]

Dude I hate this stupid enemy

[acoustic sigil]

And provide more info

[fading pewter]

then what should i do

[acoustic chasm]

Bosses don’t even do 2x damage

[winter helm]

How Can I add visible keystrokes on hollow knight guys

[tame saddle]

Okay thanks

[acoustic sigil]

What do you mean

[azure blade]

||speaking to her doesnt' really change anything I don't think||

[winter helm]

Like reald time when I press arrows and other keys to see them on screen like some speedrunners

[acoustic sigil]

That's an obs overlay iirc

[fading pewter]

then what do i need to be here for?

[pine pecan]

||I just beat Hornet where do I go now?||

[fading pewter]

i dont have a map for this area so i cant really see if ive explored it all but it feels like it

[acoustic sigil]

||There is more to do in city. Look around when you are riding the elevator outside||

[acoustic sigil]

There are multiple ways to go. Generally go south

This fat peice of shit won’t die

||If you do a full dive where everything hits (dive and shockwave (so get above him before diving)), he's dead in 5 dives||

It opened something else

Where should I go? Seems like I can't do anything else in ||crystal peak bc I need double jump||

[acoustic sigil]

Also spoiler tag the text

[blazing pike]

alright, thx!

[gusty mural]

how do u defeat the ||Oblobbles|| without taking too much damage?

In ||Godhome||

[rapid yacht]

||nail art||

[hushed folio]

parry and attach the talisman when they fly near you
Honestly? Mostly just luck

[tawdry estuary]

I spam || Abyss Shrieks ||

[rapid yacht]

and the ||charm that increases enemy knockback||

[hushed folio]

Although their shots have a pattern you can kind of watch

[gusty mural]

Ok thanks

[azure blade]

if you play in ||radiant|| they do much less damage :D

[gusty mural]

||Yes, in fact, it does so much damage it underflows to like a bajillion||

[clever compass]

||is hornet laughing after defeating vessel or im just paranoid||

||in second fight||

[tawdry estuary]

What?

[clever compass]

I'm kinda hearing hehe

[tawdry estuary]

In || Hornet's second || fight?

[clever compass]

ye

[tawdry estuary]

Idk

[clever compass]

||I'm was playing radiant difficulty maybe it's matter||

[tawdry estuary]

Did you die?

[clever compass]

yes and then I Heard hehe

[tawdry estuary]

Idk why then

[hushed folio]

It's one of her fight sounds, so maybe it just sounded at that time

[tawny sapphire]

Paranoid

I don’t think she has a laughing voice line

I may be wrong though

[hushed folio]

She does have one that sounds near enough to a laugh

Like ha-hah

[tawny sapphire]

Oh that one, I never thought that was her laughing

[hushed folio]

The beauty of hallowspeak

[stuck mantle]

should I ||banish the grimm troupe or finish the ritual?||

[hushed folio]

Both options are valid
You get different ||charms|| and ||achievement|| depending on which you pick
That's about it honestly

[sweet oak]

depends

[hushed folio]

Behind one of the choices is a hard but satisfying ||boss fight||

[sweet oak]

do you want to fight a hard but very fun boss?

[stuck mantle]

sure

[sweet oak]

then dont ||banish||

[stuck mantle]

ok

[upper lion]

||should i explore deepnest or go for the dreamer (i alredy deafeted watcher knights)||

[hushed folio]

You will need to do the first to do the second
So... Yes

You could try other places first too

[sweet oak]

||going for the dreamer and exploring are practically the same thing, the dreamer is at the end of deepnest||
you can pick up some extra content on the way like ||nosk or galien and tram pass||

[hushed folio]

Mid to end game the path is pretty nonlinear

[upper lion]

||i need to explore deepnest to get the watcher dreamer?||

[hushed folio]

Oh.. no

[hushed folio]

In that case finish the area first

[sweet oak]

no the ||watcher dreamer is right after watchers||

[versed swift]

how do I defeat this guy

[obtuse vortex]

guys

[hushed folio]

You don't need to

Just.. leave the place alone

[versed swift]

don't I get dream essence by defeating him?

[hushed folio]

I mean you do get 1

[modest quest]

what do I get for||having all martial arts||

[versed swift]

only 1?

[obtuse vortex]

can someone please give me a good markoth guide, everything i see is absolute bollocks. Im trying to do ascended practice for p5 and im losing my mind

[hushed folio]

Yup
He's not a boss or anything

[modest quest]

normal dream npc

[versed swift]

oh alright

thank you

[hushed folio]

The place is mostly backer content
Though if you explore it a bit you get some rewards

[obtuse vortex]

.

[hushed folio]

Go see ||Sly||

[hushed folio]

Don't know of any guide, some general advice is ||use nail arts on the first phase and spam spells on the second||

[tender patio]

spoiler

[obtuse vortex]

im sorry im just incredibly annoyed rn ive been fighting him for 2 hrs

[obtuse vortex]

he just keeps running away it's so impossible at times

[rugged veldt]

As has been stated above, the general strategy is to ||charge up nail arts and hit him when he goes near for ph1, and spam spells for ph2||

It is still *painful*. But not as much.

[sullen trail]

Im trying to do a run of ||steel soul|| Speedrun 2 and speedrun completion. Right now I just beat ancestral mound at 15min igt. (I did ||false knight, mawlek and goam shards, got a grub and got stag in crossroads||, as well as getting geo deposits.) Is this decent pace so far?

[obtuse vortex]

||how do i position myself tho, the platforming is so unintuitive||

[rugged veldt]

I mean, I guess? There are a few speedrun guides if you're interested in those

[rugged veldt]

Literally just charge up a ||nart|| and jump around, waiting for him to get close. He's chunky enough for hit trading being unviable, so the best strategy is to maintain high hp and hit him during ||shield spin||

[sullen trail]

in a normal speedrun 2 completion how long does crossroads take?

normal meaning not too slow but not WR

[obtuse vortex]

thanks, i'll try this

[rugged veldt]

Speedrun 2 being...? Sub 5 hrs?

[sullen trail]

yes

[rugged veldt]

Good luck! You got this! Don't burn yourself out on that dorky boss though

[sullen trail]

Im also going for speedrun completion too tho so im trying to clear up extra percents as I go so that I can get the 100% in under 20 hours.

[gentle frost]

how do i dodge ||pure vessel's tentacle attack and bubble focus attack?||

[sullen trail]

(||steel soul/heart too so no shade skips/tech or deaths allowed||)

[hushed folio]

Not sure on time, but 5 hours is pretty generous. There's a guide on steam you could use for optimized route. It just needs a bit of planning tbh

[rugged veldt]

Uhhh I mean it's an okay time

[hollow bramble]

||double jump + dash and or pogo for tentacles, and jusst get out of the circle||

[sullen trail]

||bubble focus is just dash away from him and just avoid the smaller ones. I have trouble with tentacle but youre supposed to just jump over tentacles||

[gentle frost]

||1: i didn't know you could pogo on the tentacle wtf||
||2: the circle part isn't the problem. is when he creates the smaller bubbles. i never know where they spawn and i always try to heal during that attack so i have no time to dodge||

[rugged veldt]

Yeah ||double jump or jump-dash-pogo|| works out okay for the former usually

[hollow bramble]

||u dont pogo the tentacle, u double jump dash over tentacles on top of pv and then pogo his head||

[gentle frost]

oh

[rugged veldt]

||not *on* the tentacle. You can't do that. Pogo on him||

[hollow bramble]

||healing after that attack is always a gamble, although u probably want to heal right outside the range of the big circle||

[thick wing]

Cant you make it so your friend also sees your enemies in mp?

[hollow bramble]

ghost hunter, but i have yet to test it out

[rugged veldt]

Probably #modding-discussion is a better place for such questions

[thick wing]

Alright

[upper lion]

||should i go to fog or deepnest||

[tawny sapphire]

Why not both

[upper lion]

what first

[tawny sapphire]

Pick whatever appeals to you more, probably ||fog||

[upper lion]

kk and what does ||elegant key|| do

[mellow void]

which charms am i missing? (except ||heart, im trying to get its unbreakable version||)

[tawny sapphire]

Show your map

[tawny sapphire]

||spore shroom, located in Fungal Wastes||

[mellow void]

oh

[sudden laurel]

why is he sayign not interested when i choose yes ?

[acoustic sigil]

Make sure you are using the button you jump with to press yes

[hushed folio]

You probably pressed the wrong button

[sudden laurel]

got it thanks

[devout walrus]

Or maybe you don't have enough ||geo||

[hushed folio]

or he's just not into you

[queen viper]

for the ||tenctacle attack just jump above it using monarch wings (double jump) for the focus one just stay out of the little circles that appear on ur screen||

u can also use ||dash to stay in the air longer when dodging the tenctacle attack||

[rapid lotus]

any charms or tips for first time ||P1 run ||

[queen viper]

what boss are u struggling on

specifically

[rapid lotus]

im gonna say it gonna be at the end with ||brooding and mato n oro||

[queen viper]

i struggled on those so much too on my first p1 run 😭

[rapid lotus]

first tried then got enhilated near the end was so confident till I saw

[queen viper]

general advice is js to practice them in ||hall of gods||

|| make sure to use spells like descending dark if ur ever in a dangerous spot for iframes||

[hushed folio]

||ddark is the answer to all your life problems||

[modest kestrel]

This || deepness || is so annoying I don't even know where I am going and stuff any tips for this

[queen viper]

||for brooding when he does his vomit attack with all those orbs of infection js jump over him before he does it||

[queen viper]

|| u mean deepnest?||

[modest kestrel]

Yeah

[queen viper]

basically just keep exploring the places you havent explored

[simple island]

well, leaving is a genuine option

[modest kestrel]

I mistyped it 😅

[queen viper]

there is a hot spring

[modest kestrel]

Ok

[simple island]

like you don't have to do ||deepnest
you can make a lot of progress in the game without going there||

[queen viper]

you might run into some weird stuff in that area but that will be normal

[modest kestrel]

Ok

[queen viper]

|| tbf there is a dreamer at deepnest||

[simple island]

if an area is really being tough, coming back with more stuff is always an option

[queen viper]

so one will have to go there eventually

but yeah

[simple island]

which is my point
of course you have to go, but if it is painful, maybe go later

[queen viper]

ye

[modest kestrel]

I will just finsh it . And then move on to || city of tears ||

[queen viper]

maybe ||upgrade ur nail|| or get some more ||health|| if ur struggling

[modest kestrel]

I did upgrade || the nail ||

[simple island]

you may not be able to reach every place there
but hum, good luck I suppose

[modest kestrel]

And have 1 extra also

Ok thanks 😊

Byee

[queen viper]

ok gl

[rapid lotus]

gotcha ill have to use it more i forgot how to play now im coming back after month to 112% hopefully

[upper lion]

what should i be looking for in ||fog||

[neat karma]

Look at the empty spaces you have in your map there and go to them

[coarse nest]

How do I get good at ||failed champion?||

Do I need to do that for ||seer last achievement?||

I have ||rad clear on false knight, but died like half a dozen times already to failed champ||

[obtuse dock]

||how do i beat the first hornet fight i've had one good attempt and all the other ones have been horrible and i keep accidently touching her and taking contact damage||

[pastel dagger]

How do i kill that thing? its spaming so much

[acoustic sigil]

||If you can't 1 shot the spawns, I'd suggest leaving the boss for later||

[acoustic sigil]

Do a few attempts where you just focus on dodging, surviving as long as possible. This will allow you to better learn the patterns and give better control

[dawn belfry]

||is there a way to skip nkgs opening every time you fight him?||

[acoustic sigil]

Not without mods

[dawn belfry]

🙁

[glad junco]

[dawn belfry]

||do colo first for money||

[onyx monolith]

||i was fighting failed champion and idk if im doing something wrong but ive staggered the boss more than the 4 times the wiki claims you need my strategy after stagering is dreamnailing until full soul, attacking the body 3 times and then spamming 4 abyssal shrieks to stagger him again before he can hit me||

[acoustic sigil]

||After staggering him 3 times, stop fighting||

You can keep the fight going forever

[eager shore]

I just hit him with nail. Always.

[onyx monolith]

[languid radish]

🔹 An unnecessary spoiler is a spoiler (even a tagged one!) that was not directly requested by the user being helped, such as help referencing in-game content that the player has not necessarily reached - Charms build containing Charms they haven’t found, for example. These spoilers, though generally good-intentioned, can harm a player’s experience as any other spoiler would. Remember the game is non-linear; Always make sure to know what a player has and where they’ve reached. A simple screenshot of their map and inventory would tell you all you need to know.

[modest kestrel]

Ok then I am going to smash my head in this until I clear it, byee guys

[opal hatch]

Have fun

[flat spade]

|| how do I get more %? I just beat the game and it said I only had 62%. I just wanna know what counts as more completion % ||

[neat karma]

Pretty much every major thing does

[south cobalt]

Dlc's and extra optional main game stuff

[neat karma]

Right now dont worry about specifics as you still have a long wy to go, just ||explore all the empty spaces on your map and got to places you couldnt acess or enemies you couldnt beat||

[opal hatch]

||beat every boss, get every collectable||

||and every charm and all abilities/nail upgrades||

[flat spade]

||alright, thx||

[opal hatch]

Maybe place markers where you cant get further to come back later

[south cobalt]

Btw some dlc stuff doesn't count towards %

[modest kestrel]

Ok I did it , I DID IT omg

[south cobalt]

Oh , yeah pogo my bad I was writing poco

Ok I have a doubt normal I am getting 200 fps but then suddenly the game freezes for 1 sec , should i cap my fps to fix it ??

[opal hatch]

Maybe cap to 120

You dont really need much more

[modest kestrel]

I mean there is only frame rate cap setting no option to put how much cap

Should I trun of v sycn?

[opal hatch]

Idk

[modest kestrel]

Ok I will turn it on and play and see if it freezes again

is there any way to make ||shadow dash's cd decrease?|| i'm trying to fight|| pure vessel but i can't dodge any of his comboes due to how fast they are and shadow dash being on cd||

[neat karma]

nope

[opal hatch]

||maybe take sharp shadow, it melts him really good by just doging||

Sry didnt read your question carefully

[neat karma]

||for this fight you should try to save your shadow dash, as it wont be recharged when you need it, instead try jumping, pogoing, or double jumping over all their attacks, most of them can be avoided that way while saving your dash for when you really need it||

[vague tartan]

||i finally beat the 2nd hornet fight but now i dont know how to get out of kingdoms edge||

[neat karma]

||the damage on this thing is just not at all good and, its going to mess up your dashes and takes away two notches that can be way more useful on other parts, without mention that pantheons will become more difficult due to this and most bosses dont benefit from the charm||

so yeah i dont reccommend that

[gentle frost]

oh alright

[gentle frost]

how much damage does it do?

[worthy nexus]

||have you gotten buried by rocks yet||

||city of tears is to the left||

[opal hatch]

Like one nail slash

[opal hatch]

Just backtrack

[gentle frost]

o.

[neat karma]

see most of their attacks are ||either slashing from one side of the screen to the other, or dashing from one side to the other, so those are easily avoidable by a double jump, but not only those, the swords in the ground attack can be avoided easier if youre on air, because you have more time to react before the spikes come out and theyre thinner the further up you go, the dagger throw is only really consistent to avoid with a dash, but if youre jumping youll only have about two daggers in front of you, unlike on the floor where you could have more and have some hit you before or after you dash, etc etc||

[vague tartan]

||but i dont buy maps||

[worthy nexus]

bruh

[neat karma]

|| a singular nail hit of damage, it throws you to the other side of the arena so its harder to reposition and it makes you use your shade dash||

[opal hatch]

Yeah ok try going up and left

[worthy nexus]

yeah

[vague tartan]

||i think im too far down for that||

[neat karma]

also for the ||swords attack if you have soul and cant get the positioning right or feel you will get hit using dive is the safest strategy, while also damaging pv||

[worthy nexus]

what path did you take to get in

[neat karma]

all the exits are left, so just try to find a way to keep going on that direction

🔹 An unnecessary spoiler is a spoiler (even a tagged one!) that was not directly requested by the user being helped, such as help referencing in-game content that the player has not necessarily reached - Charms build containing Charms they haven’t found, for example. These spoilers, though generally good-intentioned, can harm a player’s experience as any other spoiler would. Remember the game is non-linear; Always make sure to know what a player has and where they’ve reached. A simple screenshot of their map and inventory would tell you all you need to know.

[worthy nexus]

👍

[vague tartan]

||i found my way out||

[gentle frost]

tbh even if ||sharp shadow|| ain't that good. i don't think i got any better two notches charms rn

[neat karma]

||spell twister, soul catcher, heart, a combo of one notchers like grubsong, steady body, or dreamwielder||

theres always a better option

youre ||messing yourself up by using that as the inconsistency that sharp shadow gives is too big to really ignore||

[vague tartan]

||new problem, i think im stuck||

[neat karma]

just

go down

[lost terrace]

am i supposed to be here now?

||(my shade is in here am i fucked?)||

[neat karma]

you can if you want to, but its going to be hard to see

[lost terrace]

so cant even get my money back

😭

[neat karma]

just learn echolocation

[lost terrace]

...

||THERES CRYSTAL BUG THINGS||

[neat karma]

yeah

[lost terrace]

||im dead :)||

[stiff hedge]

||is defenders crest op?||

[neat karma]

no

||little damage, small area of effect, most enemies wont even stay inside it long enough for it to be worth it, if you dont have literally anything else though then its fine i guess||

[untold solstice]

Dammit I fucked up the spoiler tags

[stiff hedge]

aye

[neat karma]

Just put two bars at the start and two at then really

[untold solstice]

Does anyone have any useful tips for ||Zote on all bindings?|| I've been trying to beat ||P3AB|| for over a year now and now and I really want to beat it before Silksong comes out. I've gotten pretty consistent at getting past the first half but as soon as I get to the second half the run is almost guaranteed over. ||Galien|| has also been a massive pain and its very difficult to get past him while having enough lifeblood masks for ||Zote||, but I at least know what to do there, and even with a good ||Galien||, ||Zote|| will almost always get me anyways. Its mainly the ||Zotelings|| that give me the most trouble, if he didn't spawn those I think the fight would be 1 million times easier. It really feels like its left up to luck whether he spawns them or not because once he does it feels damn near impossible to kill them all while also dodging ||Zote|| himself without taking massive amounts of damage. Its been really discouraging getting through the first half every time just to die because it feels like at any given moment ||Zote|| can just decide for me to lose the fight. I'm pretty desperate at this point so if anyone has any tips that could help I'd greatly appreciate it

[sharp torrent]

do you have the ability to mod the game? ||it really helps to practice the bosses in the hall with all bindings.|| if not, then there is an alternate way to practice it in vanilla, but the setup time is pretty long
if you don't want to deal with any of that, i can just give general tips

[untold solstice]

I'm playing on Switch so no

[sharp torrent]

alright, the alternate setup approach would be: ||complete a new save file with exactly 2 nail upgrades, +3 masks, +1 notch, quick focus, and overcharm deep focus. obviously there is the drawback of having to assemble this whole new save file and do everything in overworld with this gear||

[stiff hedge]

||is it only possible to reveal the area from finding the note thingy on the ground?||

[sharp torrent]

||if you are staying close to zote in between attacks, you can often have him spawn minions right next to you. in this situation, you can shriek to kill some of the minions that are being spawned. note that the spawns are invincible for a short time, so you will want to shriek on the later side.||

[paper atlas]

Bro how tf am i supposed to defeat || soul tyrant ||

[sharp torrent]

||what spells do you have?||

[sharp torrent]

not sure what you're referring to but most likely no

[paper atlas]

|| vengeful spirit and desolate dive ||

[stiff hedge]

||the note that ud find on the ground that tells u to goto dirthmouth and buy the map of the area||

[sharp torrent]

||this is meant to be a later game fight when you have more damage, so it would be in your best interest to come back later||

[sharp torrent]

then no you do not have to interact with that

[stiff hedge]

but u need to find it? (seeing it)

[paper atlas]

Oh okay I || have upgraded my nail only once and just defeated soul master so I am supposed to come here when? Also why tf is he so fast ||

[stiff hedge]

||cause i need to freak reveal this royal sewers area||

[sharp torrent]

||to find the map for a certain area, you need to find cornifer in that area. (unless you've triggered some way for cornifer to go home, which has likely not happened)||

[untold solstice]

||I've been trying to do that but the issues I run into there are 1. Like you said the invincibility so if I do it too early I'm fucked 2. The hopping ones and the flying ones seem to fall at different speeds so often times it'll hit one and not the other and 3. He'll often just spawn more even if I do manage to get the first 2||

[paper atlas]

Also || what am I supposed do with hallownest seals? ||

[sharp torrent]

||there is an NPC in city who takes interest in them||

[stiff hedge]

yeah think ur right, google time.

[patent ibex]

||does dying to absrad cause a steel soul death? i know normal true ending does (because the wiki says so) but it doesnt say anything about p5||

[paper atlas]

|| where can I find him? ||

[tawdry estuary]

Near the centre of the area

[sharp torrent]

||a couple rooms away from the nailsmith. you have most likely already seen him||

[tawdry estuary]

Near the || Statue ||

[paper atlas]

|| centre of what area 😅 ||

[sharp torrent]

no

[patent ibex]

cool

[paper atlas]

|| idk man whats their name? ||

[tawdry estuary]

|| He's brown ||

[sharp torrent]

@paper atlas did you miss this message?

[paper atlas]

|| oh okay thanks lemme find him and what about kings idol? ||

[vernal mist]

chat why the hell am i fighting ||hornet|| again

[sharp torrent]

that doesn't have the name what am i

never mind

does have the area anyways

[paper atlas]

Oh no I didn't

[sharp torrent]

same thing

[paper atlas]

Same npc or other

[tawdry estuary]

Ame

Same

[paper atlas]

Oh alright thanks

[paper atlas]

@sharp torrent what about this

[sharp torrent]

||do note that the hopping ones don't actively chase you while the winged ones do. you could approach this in two ways: one, only kill the flying ones with spells and ignore the hopping ones, since they have a low chance of hitting you. or two, only kill the hopping ones with spells because they have the most variance, and then let the winged ones come to you so you can kill them more easily.||

[tawdry estuary]

On mobile idk I've never seen anyone playing on mobile

[sharp torrent]

later. you have plenty left to do

come back if you ever feel strong enough to try the fight again

[paper atlas]

I will probably forget him till end game XD

[sharp torrent]

which is fine

[untold solstice]

||Can you overload the fight if too many spawn? That's how I beat Collector, if there are 4 or more enemies spawned in at once then he doesn't spawn more so I just let him spawn 4 Vengeflys which are easy enough to avoid and just focus on him. Is this possible for Zote too?||

[lost terrace]

||why is there a bug throwing litteral shit at me lmfao||

[sharp torrent]

||yes, he stops spawning at 3||

[untold solstice]

||Oh shit fr? That's even more manageable, if I can just get 3 hoppers on screen and avoid them for the whole fight that could work||

[paper atlas]

@sharp torrent || bro i am stuck near the arena of where i get option to fight soul tyrant ||

[sharp torrent]

you are not stuck. keep your new ability in mind

[paper atlas]

|| like i dont see anywhere i can go , yeah i am using it and i cant really go anywhere ||

[stiff hedge]

||how can i get through here cause there seems to be only solid walls||

[sharp torrent]

||did you notice that whenever you stand on a floor that can be broken by dive, the ground shakes under you?||

[paper atlas]

|| yeah i broke all of them which i can break ||

[paper atlas]

|| oh wait ||

[sharp torrent]

||there is one other such floor, and it is not as obvious. keep your eyes and ears peeled||

[tawdry estuary]

I think it's a || Breakable Wall ||

[rugged veldt]

It is easily missed, but there is one you didn't

[paper atlas]

|| i finally found it lmao tysm man ||

[stiff hedge]

no weak cracks anywhere

[robust ridge]

||it kind of looks like a wall but there's a secret gap underneath you can just walk into||

[sharp torrent]

you just walk through. there's no wall there

[stiff hedge]

here bro?

[sharp torrent]

down

[stiff hedge]

insane ty!

[sullen trail]

can you get to ||blue lake|| from ||crossroads without shade||? ||(Only mothwing and claw)||

[jade sedge]

Please spoiler tag ||shade and crossroads too||

[sullen trail]

ok mb

[jade sedge]

No, you cant

[tough saffron]

how do i unnlock the ||blue hearth room in pantheon's resting area||

to the left

[sullen trail]

I think ||bindings||

idk tho

[jade sedge]

||8 bindings||

[tough saffron]

ew

fuck no

wrong gif

[stoic cedar]

||if u have infected crossroads and low enough nail upgrade u can do a furious vengefly pogo as an alternative to the shade skip, but otherwise no (tho this is mainly a randomizer skip since u probably won’t have infected crossroads while doing this skip in a normal speedrun route, which I assume u r doing)||

[sullen trail]

Im doing a normal speedrun 2 + speedrun Completion + ||steel soul|| run

[stoic cedar]

||for steel soul the usual speedrun route is to get tram pass in order to tram to resting grounds instead of doing the blue lake shade skip||

[sullen trail]

Oh so I should go to ||deepnest|| then?

also if I get the ||mask shard by cornifer|| Does the ground below you break or do you have to go backtrack to get back?

[fair solstice]

Tips on healing for ||lost kin?|| Without the ||stink charm||

[stoic cedar]

||u dont have to, since speedrun 2 gives a lot of leeway of what u can do, even in steel soul. for example u can enter city left side, sell relics, buy lantern and maybe get dive, then enter peaks, get crystal heart, and enter resting grounds from the cpeaks drop||

[thick wing]

GUYS I NEED HELP WITH P5

some tips?
