I'm saying ||3 vengeful spirits and 1 nail hit|| kills the boss
new knight role
||how many masks and soul vessels?||
|| 6 masks and one extra soul thing||
I’ve only been trying for like a hour
And I be gotten her to start || spawning the spike balls ||
Yeah you're really undergeared
What should I get???
I think that means you're 1/3 of the way through
In general just go elsewhere
Yea I’m able to hit her a bunch after that
|| should I explore more of fog canyon? I haven’t gone there much||
||but it keeps flying like crazy and its almost impossible to hit with the spirit ability||
its so fast as well
Jump over and hit it as it's passing you
Like where can I get more ||masks||
Head back to old areas
Alright I guess
||your nail is good enough but you should at least have 7-8 masks and many more charm notches and charms||
Is there anything here in || greenpath?||
Boi I’m cooked
Yep
Did I tag the photo?
Uh I can't tell mobile is a bit buggy
Like what something worth going for?
You did
Yeah
Can you tell me what it is
||another nail art, not the greatest for this fight but it's nice to have||
How much for it
yeah no i already had gotten it, it was a big ||breakable ground|| not a small one
stop by ||sly|| and buy some other upgrades after
Free
Should I buy all his || charms||
||I just beat p3 all bindings but don't see anything new in the life blood room. I remember I needed to break smth to get the first thing of life blood, is there smth I need to do or?||
They aren't great for combat
If you want a good one get ||shaman stone from salubra||
Arguably the best charm in the game
||where is salubra again?||
Why can't I get the ||void heart||??
It's automatically activated
Also you don't need to do them all at once, individually is fine
You forgot to spoiler tag one of them btw
Nvm you didn't
Discord just sucks
Alr, ty
||search within your own mind and you'll find it||
Oh
||Same dialog that the king had in the White Palace||
Bottom right of ||crossroads, where you bought quick focus||
Do you want some purchase recommendations
I might die here 🫡
ya i did lol, they said they already got that one
ok i give up atp
i’m not about to guess every goddamn ||dive floor|| in the game 😭
this what they said 🤷♂️
YESS
WELL ITS OKAY!!!!! BECAUSE I FINALLY FOUND IT OH MY GOD I FORGOT ABOUT THIS PLACES EXISTANCE!!!
before i go to sleep, i found this ||simple key|| from ||the little bastard who kept running away from me and tried killing me|| in here
where do i use this one specificly?
||every simple key can be used on any simple lock in the game||
||oh i thought they had a specified need but alright||
Hi all, I'm on my first playthrough, and I think I've gotten most stuff done, but my friend told me that I should do a lot more before I go on to late game, but idk what to do/where to go, so can I get some direction here?
guys where can i go from here? (i dont have dash) seems like my only way is up here but cant get to it
Hey guys, I just got into the ||City of Tears|| through the ||Fungal Wastes||, but now I can’t get back out. Any idea?
Maybe I haven’t explored everything, but it feels like all my exits/way forward are blocked
If this is the right entrance that I’m thinking of ||There are metal rafters that you can climb on to progress by the elevator to the ground floor||
||You can’t yet||
I’ll check when I launch my game again, I’ll let you know :))
Why not? and if so what do i do
Ok cool:)
||it will kill you, later on you can swim in it without getting hurt||
Same reason as ||Cornifer|| in fog canyon i guess ?
yeah just like nope you aren’t supposed to be here yet
That one doesn’t need to be censored lol
True
With metroidvanias you need to unlock things to help you get through areas previously unreachable
It’s just how the genre is
Yeah! Honestly it feels like the game completely opened up, like I’ve done so much in just 2 hours lol
why do I hear one of ||these guys ->
here. I can't find it anywhere in the area||
||its behind a breakable wall. just try slashing at walls or smth||
Yeah lol. You can even beat the game in that time on your second or third play through but there’s just so much to do that it takes so much longer to 100% lol
Yeah it’s ||behind a breakable wall||
ahh ty
||Ahh yes, then what I said still stands. It’s pretty hidden though so when you get to that elevator where the open air is on one side just jump off on the way down and dash and climb until you reach the far right||
Ohhhhh, I suspected I could jump on it but I totally forgot, thanks!!
Fair enough, happy to help!
What are ||rancid eggs|| used for?
Yeah that’s the way to go
||You can give them to someone to bring your shade (that thing that spawns where you die) to a that spot so that you don’t have to risk losing all of your geo||
Wahoo
Thank you
No problem:)
Ts bother me
Are hollow knight skins a mod?
does time progress on my slot if i have the game paused?
|| who are you struggling with the most?||
Pretty sure no
my friend just got hollow knight on steam and he's playing using the PS5 controller yet it's giving him XBOX controller prompts, anyone know how to like have it show playstation controls?
||Hey so I have beaten the game and been given the option to choose steel soul multiple times. I was about to do it but It doesn't give me the option to select a mode it just makes me start a new classic game.
Do I have to go beat Radiance again? I haven't beaten her on this laptop so that might be why||
I don't think you can sadly it just shows the Xbox prompts like X to attack
awe shucks
I'm guessing I have to go kill radiance again. Which sucks a little but I can totally do it
can someone give me a hint as to where i can find this final charm im missing?
Hello please spoiler your message as per channel rules.
I forgot that's a spoiler thanks for telling me
And to answer ur question: ||some aspects of the game, such as file modes, are stored on the pc. So specifically if u switched pc u will not have access to any of the other modes and will have to beat the game again to unlock steel soul||
Alright thanks ||guess I'm killing god again||
||u can also just kill thk, that’s faster||
||Nah, I like killing god||
Check ||Crystal Peaks||
with attention to ||breakable walls||
more specifically located on the ||left side of peaks||
been searching, is it in the upper or lower half of ||crystal?||
||uhhhhh it’s somewhere in peaks||
||Bottom half ish?||
||also are you using heavy blow and wayward compass together,……. You’re too powerful!||
nope
||Somewhere below the bench||
||check ur map for gaps where u think should lead somewhere else||
I just looked at the map lol
O?
I'm not the guy who's missing the ||charm||
lol
Send a picture of your map
Spoiler tag it
it is
It's behind a ||breakable wall|| you might've missed it
|| I found it on accident because I was just smacking everything lol||
Is this fast btw?
make sure to cenor your posts dude
There’s a lot of new players always in here so we try our best to keep things spoiler free
You gotta use spoiler tags on text as well
this is the help chennel. try #hk-art-gallery
Buddy
breh
Don’t worry about it man
||do i need lantern for deepnest's stag||
Pretty sure yes
guess i'll have to come back then >.<
Unless you wanna ||dark room navigate|| (don’t)
my shade died near a ||dream gate|| and lwk dipped where it at
Should be on your map
nawh
Did you or your ||shade die?||
yeah lwk pulled up a ||rancid egg|| map
Do you not have any?
This not your first play through?
Sick
i just dont play enough to remember everythin on the map
I mean I don’t remember where most of the ||rancid eggs are || 
Staple charm
||should i get lantern if it is literally all my geo||
Does it look useful
||more useful than an extra mask though??||
very useful in later areas
just kill em faster then they kill u
Haven't played enough rando smh
Tried it for maybe 2 hours
||Trying to get zote to die. I left the room and didn't get the achievement?||
||if you don't save him and then get the mantis claw he dies||
||you have to come back to the room zote was in also||
i forgot to mention
toughest pose oat
Is this worth it?
yes
if I die does he die as well?
I dont wanna spend 1800 on a one life thing
noper
quick tip ||buy the swarm charm early on so you dont miss geo when killing enimes or getting nodes||
keeps ya rich over time fr
ok i ended up getting one anyway just by exploring :P
Nah
yes save my magnificant zote
You get 68 bucks and an annoying NPC
trust itll be more fun later
i believe in you
||Vengefly King||
ts not even a boss
Everything in ||HoG is a boss||
it's a miniboss
Boss
agree to disagree
do i just go now
Yeah
Yeah, go talk to him
Ay you did it
||isnt the dlcs free?||
Dub
Yes
i cant find it on steam
yoo this girl
Aren't the DLCs just updates 
Gl
Basically
||what is gods and nightmare its not free and 3 euros||
Isn't that a fucking soundtrack
Lmao
||theres only these for dlcs||
I feel like it’s weird they called the dlc dlcs since they’re in the game on download
Those
Are soundtracks
My dude
It's music
where are the dlcs then cuhh
THEY ARE UPDATES
I usually think of dlcs as separately downloadable
you have dlc
it came preinstalled on your hollow knight
You find him, he's not just there
You'll have to do certain stuff for him to spawn
It’s actually kinda obscure
Woah Hi Azerod
So if you’re hav8ng too much trouble i can tell if you want to
ah i see thanks!
mf
the certain thing is obscure yeah, ||you want to find a breakable wall in the leftmost room of the howling cliffs ||(hoping youve found that area already)
||rightmost I think||
||Imagine not finding Howling Cliffs that late in game,,,||
How the fuck do I kill him?
Timing
I put like 8 hits onto him though
Keep hitting him then 
you wait t'ill they open, get a hit, then ||dash ||away, repeat like a billion time
||spells ||also work wonders against them, as they go through their ||front shield thingy||
Hi guys I have a question. So I watched a video saying that upgrading ur nail increases the HP of the bosses as well as ur nail dmg but not ur spells dmg. I'm kind of running a soul build rn where I just spam the slam/dive. So will it hinder my damage if I upgrade my nail or nah?
||is there anything else in the howling cliff station besides a spirit shard?||
Mb I meant like would it be harder to kill the bosses
This is only true for ||dream warriors|| but it’s not that much of a difference so I recommend just ||upgrading your nail||
There are
Ok thank you 🙏
||theres an egg there or some?||
Upgrading your nail would be better
Arcane egg? Nope
Someone PLEASE tell me I dont need to go back to this shit area again
what to do other than getting a ||spirit shard|| here?
Did you unlock the stag station on the far left?
It’s just lore, nothing else
||and gorb is here too it seems||
||gorb is here too?||
Yes
Not in the station
think ur right
True but I think the guy was only asking about the station, not the entire area
Hmm alr
need 9 more charms for completion
what || area's should i avoid first in steel soul mode?? || I do have || C dash, D dark, fireball (basic), wings, isma's tear and 7 masks, || im currently in || kingdoms edge ||
Avoid ||hornet 2 and the dreamers bosses|| for now. I recommend getting ||shade soul and howling wraiths and upgrading your nail first||
my || nail already had 3 upgrades, and i have strenght so nail build ||
Well if you are planning for 100% ||steel soul, there isn’t much to avoid besides like colo 3
Just go get every single upgrade you don’t have, then do every boss||
what does || colo 3 || stand for??
ooooo alright yeah
|| should I do colo 2 if i get all upgrades? ||
since you get the || pale ore ||
only if you’re going for ||100%|| i think
yeah i am
Then yes
do i need to beat the || radiance for 100%?? ||
No
||you only need 100, not 112 so you can skip quite a lot||
Dude don’t spoiler too much
just asking
This guy probably just got ||dash||
This is what I have
just dash infront of the black wall, you'll go right through
you have the item needed to dash
I did but it didnt work
He doesn’t
You’ll know how to pass it when you have the correct item
eh i see he doesn't have the brand yet
But it’s pretty late in the game
Where is it? cuz I went all around the map and I dont feel like doing it again
hey guys i have a theory, about hornet, so those intrested come in #sk-discussion
Where is that?
||bottom right||
Ah I see
you have a lot to explore brother... just keep exploring to the right of the map
Im guessing I have to take the train right
Tag ||dash||
Tag ||p5||
wdym and why do you hate me
It's in pinned messages
These are pretty heavy spoilers they need to be spoiler tagged
well this is the help channel so i thought there won't be a problem
Sadly it is
So would you mind?
<@&283547423706447872> would you mind deleting those 2 messages pwease?
This one too
bruh
Should I accept
what are you trying to achive in that save file
are you trying to get evrything
Not really
But im just asking if this is important or not
if it makes me stronger
its not needed, but can be usfull some times
What is it
its a ||nail art, where you dash and realise your nail bind and create a big slash||
you have to hold your ||nail|| button
|| stuck on the last part of the path of pain for 3-4 hours, I just cannot do it, thinking about giving up, any help? ||
probably take some time off, dont quit the game, and thene later try again. But is there any specific obsticel you have problem with
accept
do not give up, you can do it. take a break
|| I have taken many several hours long breaks, I just cannot go through that part in which you pogo off the blade then go down another, it's hell ||
i cannot mighty zote, it's too hard
Man Idk, a game like Hollow Knight and ask every single thing?
I mean we gotta figure things out, all we gotta lose, if any is just a save file, no offense tho, and yes Ik this is a HK help server.
its that the last part
yes
|| you don't lose a save file, you loss the entire progress and have to start over again ||
steel soul?
try and lear the || ryith of the spikes and saw in the last part, so you can pogo the spike how long you want ( and it usualy takes about 2 spikes for the saw to come back)||
|| if you quit the path of pain you have to start over again, you can't leave the game ||
i just can't get the rhythm right, I also broke my controller
on what are you plaing
i can leave the game...
but it restarts ||pop||
pc
||I struggle on the climb phase of absrad, can someone help me ?||
i threw it in rage last night and broke it
spoiler late-game
💔💔💔
that itself is a spoiler, cover it up bro
crap, sorry. I replaced by "spoiler late-game", is it better ?
yepp
stuck on ||trail of the fool got any good tips or charm builds?||
the YouTuber relyea might be of help
(incase you don't find help here)
i menat key board and mouse or a difrent controler
a different controller
||the dreamweilder help to regen soul, mantis pride & longnail to hit more likely, grubsong to regain soul after a hit. the flying enemies are easily killable with nail art and spells. if you have health missing and there is only 1 slow enemy left (the errors for an exemple) , dreamnail it to regain soul, then heal.||
||the most consistent way to deal with absrad climb phase is to jump in rhythm with the beams in order to be able to react to each beam spawn properly. here is a video demonstration of this strategy by grubsenf: https://youtu.be/OuGLx5B08E4||
Thx
I'll try, thx
Valid if it's steel soul, but on a normal playthrough, no
|| I'm guessing you don't know what the path of pain is, you can't quit the game while doing it ||
||Where should I go from here? I beaten the Mantis Lords||
What does the path of pain have to do with this?
I'm just saying that not everything has to be asked instead of figuring things out
You should now be able to traverse the place above the ||Fungal Wastes sign in the map||
alright
are you acoustic
You can save and exit in ||PoP|| though..? 
If you're still looking for help I might have an image that might be useful
You might be, not me. Anyway, first of all, the message I sent was not regarding the ||path of pain|| , but instead the people who ask every single thing instead of playing on their own. I get it if they're stuck for too long.
Hello! Can you please use spoiler tags in this channel

||how i can i remove a gate once placed anywhere||
I cant get the map to the ||fog canyon cuz idk where the hell hes hiding after that black wall||
I cleared all of ||greenpath|| and its all blocked by something
you can go to two different areas by exploring the ||fungal wastes||
how to beat the || Watcher knights|| ?
||fog canion you can't get the map but there is one relatively important item, and yeah for the most part greenpath ||doesn't have interesting stuff at this point
||seems like i cant place a dream gate at dirtmouth||
oh i can..

Yeah some places you can’t
It’s mostly just for bug protection though some exceptions are really random

||Guys pls help me how can i fight grey prince zote if i killed the princess||
What do you mean?
How did you ||kill the princess||?
||nightmare king grim..||
where do i get ||simple keys||
Before i acquired the dream nail , i found her and i killed her without even knowing what to do
||what should i do now i have discovered all regions it seems||
||the princess being? Where did you kill her?||
Also please spoiler tag ||dream nail|| as per the channel rules
streaming ||absrad|| in general 2 loooking for help
yes please that would be awesome 😊
||nah she was dreaming||
so
||grey prince zote is a boss you get by following the questline of zote
zote can die if you don't kill the vengefly king in greenpath
if zote is not dead in greenpath, then you are not locked out of GPZ
idk who the princess is, since zote is... a prince by the name, but she can't die, ||whoever she may be
Thank you imma search for her later
||now zote is in colosseum of fools trapped is that right in the questline||
yup
you need to beat ||colo 1 ||for the quest to continue (you have to redo it, if youve already done it)
thank you so much 🙏🏽
Look for upgrades, max your stats, fill up the charms, etc.
Fight the final boss
||how do i beat nightmare grim king||
||theres this annoying ass area under queens station, with a lot of parkour and spikes, is it worth it ? i alr retried like 4 times and died each time||
Hit him and don't get hit
And pray to the higher beings
What charms you got? Send a screenshot of your inventory
Why'd you need Wayward Compass for rn?

And what ||nail level|| you have
It is spoiler tagged
wdym i did
Equip ||unbreakable heart or strength||

reported

The image ain't spoiler tagged for me bruh
reporting for lying
nvm it is
Maybe your setting is set to always show spoiler
maybe its just a bit bugged on pc. just checked my phone it is spoiled
Anyway
maximum
guys where should I go explore in the ||fungal wastes after i just got the mantis claw?||
Tips for ||NKG||
||Uppercut: Dash away or through him, and beware of the falling flame
Fire bats: jump over the first, dash and hit
Or jump over the first and heal if you need to. You can sneak in 2 heals if you have QFocus equipped
Flame dash: jump and shade dash through the trailing flame. You can try pogoing him if you're fast, but beware of the final part as his hitbox gets taller when he stands
Flame pillars: inch slowly and smack him after the fourth pillar. Abyss Shriek or Great Slash works too. Also you can heal after the fourth pillar if you do it quick enough
Spike: space yourself between the spikes
Pufferfish: small hops and big hops depending on the fireball pattern
Or pogo on him if you're feeling brave
Recommended charms: MoP, Strength, QSlash/QFocus/Shaman, Grimmchild
Pray and good luck||
i just ||maxed out my nail at the nailsmith and when he stepped outside, i followed and accidentally pressed the spell button, instantly killing him. Can i get him back? Did i miss out on anything? and What the fuck?||
Oops
- No
- Yes kinda?
||Whether or not you kill him gives you an achievement so|| - It do be like that
:/
thanks foe da tips
im cooked
When (if) you play another playthrough you can ||leave him be|| and he gets another scene somewhere
actually evil that ||the one npc you can kill is the probably the nicest in the game||
He do be hard, just keep trying. Took me forever just to get his rhythm
It doesn't matter, just an achievement Ig
guys I keep getting this weird symbol that ||resembles something like a bug or a turtle or something whenever i kill enemies in the fog wastes||
Do you remember ||seeing hornet before you got the mantis claw||
might want to check that area
Specifically if you have the area's map, look for ||a place that looks like it has a statue||
That's probably your ||hunter's journal being updated||
Np
||this guy looks scary, is he another boss fight?||
Does it not look like anything youve seen before
Kinda but not really
looks simmilar to ||false knight||
but not really
imma go inside I inserted the ||city's crest||
so if i want to get a full % save file am i cooked?
Thats because it might be a statue of him
HOLYY FUCK HEAT SEEKING MISSILES
||why does divine not having any options to upgrade fragile charms atm?||
or does that not matter
I see someone met a ||belfly||
Achievements are unrelated to %
You can always get full % completion
how do I deal with the ||"beflies"||
Bait them
Oh ok. Still feel bad. Worst part of the game so far.
holyy fuck that is op
||get near and once they flie at you dash back||
well if you ||didnt want to kill him after he told you he wanted a slash you shouldve been more careful
||
this looks inspiring, artistic even.
How do we spoil tag?
||you need to have the charm of choice equipped and not have her be selling anothee unb charm||

Alright lets count the playerbase, no yeah its in the millions, the answers no
how do i find the ||elegant key?||
||the city of tears|| is so big and I got no ideea where im actually supposed to go and I dont like going over and over 5 times to figure it out
Do you want a hit or the direct answer?
either of them idm
Don't hit him 😭
whatever u think is best
||how can i get these last 3 charms when my charm slots are capped||?
HELL YEAH I FOUND ||MY SISTER AGAIN IN THE CITY OF TEARS|| ultra cool cinematic
||carefree replaces grimmchild, its one or the other, same with voidheart on kingsoul||
It's ||bought from sly after getting an item from peaks||
Ill wait, lets see if you can see the way or if youll ask here
whos ||sly|| 😭
i see gotcha!
i dont remember names
ohhh them
||think ima go to abyss before killing nightmare king grim||
what u guys think
So if you dont ||have voidheart and havent finished the game once yet, go do that actually||
nvm im dumb
so I know that i gotta get the ||simple key|| since I found something of interest here, ill keep looking rn but this is a fucking maze
ai bet
I feel like there has to be something in the ||waters|| cuz its weird that I can ||swim without dying||
You took swimming lessons as a baby i guess
:))
holy shit
why do theese things make cute lil kitty sounds
and then intercontinental ballistic missile sounds
WHAT THE HELL
NO ONE TOLD ME THERE WAS GONNA BE A ||BOSS FIGHT|| HERE
gg
what the fuck dude
Send the screenshot of your bench
I can guide you back in decent ish time
Hi bestie
Okay
If I'm not mistaken, firstly you have to go ||all the way down your tower||
"we need to go deeper"
||so I went down and straight right and I found a door||
I went thru and here I am
I feel like I went backwards
is this a boss?
Now go up
A ||journal entry||
Go up here, hopefully you unlocked the shortcut
oh i see think i mightve passed it
He goated
And then go further up
is it something i can pick up?
i didnt know about the ||merchant|| or the ||elder bug|| until today and got ||over 10000 geos from them||
alr thx imma brb
Is it better to use ||hiveblood|| or ||kingsoul|| purely from a healing aspect
||kingsoul|| is generally a pretty weak charm for its cost
I'd generally advise against using either
Just convenient for me as I go through, you’d probably hate my charm setup lmao
The only one I’m using that’ll probably actually benefit me is ||quick slash||
Tbf tho as well ||hiveblood|| is the only reason I was able to make it through ||white palace|| and get ||kingsoul||
Will probably help big time on ||path of pain|| too when I get around to doing it
||kingsoul gives you 4 soul every 2 seconds, so you get a heal every 9 seconds+waste 1.14s focusing||
||Hiveblood regens 1 hp every 10-12 seconds (sources vary?) but if you get hit the process is reset||
||So in theory kingsoul is better but that’s only if I can actually get the heal off||
||Whereas hiveblood is automatic||
||anything to gain here?||
That's the ||journal entry|| iirc
what does it do?
I’ll probably stick to ||hiveblood|| purely bc of cost tbh
Allows me to throw ||grubsong|| on as well
||gives you a Hunter's journal entry?||
oh i see guess nothing much, thanks!

What charms do yall use for ||pantheons||?
I like spamming the nail so I go with this
im in my first hollow knight playthrough
||why arent u using ur last charm notch, u can fit nailmasters glory or grubsong or even dreamwielder in there||
Wait you're right I didn't even notice lmao
||it says that it break if i die, but forever ?||
Also why ||dreamwielder||?
It can be repaired. For a cost.
||its situational, it can be useful for getting quick soul on staggers for example. also really good on a select few bosses like uumuu||
okok thx
Is this an okay build for || the trial of the fools in the colloseum?||
||I'd swap out longnail for something else|| but yeah looks good
What for?
i could also take out the ||soul catcher for a soul eater if i take out both||?
Maybe I'd even go ||MoP+grubsong|| instead of ||catcher/longnail||
That could work too
Is ||longnail not good?||
||15% increase in range for 2 notches Vs MoP's 25% for 3||
I don't really like it
But if it works for you keep it
Okay
Tbh its mostly placebo
||for two notches it basically does nothing in comparison to some other two notchers||
For me it feels like in action, the difference between them is negligble
But the difference between either one and having neither is noticable
Could be
It just is most of the time
Spoiler tags
If you're used to playing with it it's a must
||the concistency of not having to walk back to enemies makes it really useful, but also makes you dependant on it, due to it being one notch however that mostly doesnt matter||
Basically are you willing to miss out on a ||charm notch|| for minor QoL that builds habit
ive been using it the whole game so ig it would be bad to switch now
Imo it promotes tanking so I'm a little against it
It could depending on how you look at it, but it simply promotes aggressivity, which isnt necessarily tanking
Its annoying not having it when you are using the ||charm that makes you swing faster i forgot its name||
It could be but thats per person
Yeah it ||makes quickslash stronger just by letting you slash more consistently||
Hence the agressivity
||Upslashing doesn't have knock back|| so you could also just do that
Yeah but its also ||harder to do for regular players and it forces you to look up which makes it harder to move side to side||
oh i also just found out that ||nail arts arent affected by longnail, and im using them a lot in the colleseum.|| so i will take that off
Only ||nmg affects nail arts||
It's so W
Thank you bestie its the original bisexual
When I began helping out in this channel I thought ||nmg% stood for nail masters glory||
Aka john sun and music
Real question tho ||Soul catcher + Spell twister or just soul eater?||
what is that
im back
They do have it though
Hm, i dont know the direct numbers, but id probably say ||eater? The soul increase feels big enough to support spells and healing||
its weird how like each enemy gives you 2-5-10 geo but it adds up really quickly
Oh i wasnt here then
||nailmasters glory||
|| hmmm, who am I fighting. The sun?||
yes indeed
How do I open this? I have the kings braid
Noway ||helios fight confirmed||
You cant just yet, but youre close story wise!
fffinaally i found the map for the ||city of tears||
YOU GOTTA PAY FOR A FUCKING BENCH HERE???
what the actual fuck
well you will have to find something to open with ||king brand||
inflation ahh
next they are gonna charge you for every use of ||stags||
😔
i am
the goat
but I really wanna know lore-wise
||where are all the people???||
||like everyone I meet is hostile and the non hostile characters are very rare and most DO something, there arent many characters that dont attack you and dont do anything either||
mb
Who do I need to kill?
Capitalism
fr
This question will be answered later in game indirectly
But basically a big disaster happened
ah
What do you want, a name? Area? General direction?
Assuming you have reached this point in the game, maybe try || going to kingdom's edge via the tram station||
It's alright I found out who it is
So I got the ||shade soul|| and I am finally confident enough to fight the ||mantis Lords||
What charms do I equip
Which do you have?
whats with these ||big jars of fireflies or smn... soul?||
||I want this dude's dash, he can teleport instantly. This feels op and really nice||
Oh yea do you guys use ||howling wraiths? I had no idea there was a third spell, because it feels very unneccessary and almost like they just included it to have three spells. Idk if its good cause i just got it||
||When I unlock a door with the simple key does it use it?||
|| in the mantis village, there was some guy, who randomly said my weapon wasnt good enough or something and theres a city nearby, but i kinda skipped what he said, did he say where it was??? i cant really find it ?? || thanks for help
this is my stuff
I feel like enemies should only damage you if you enter their attack not every touch against an enemy. Idk it would make it a little easier but make the skill ceilling a bit higher too I think since you can focus on parryings and stuff dashes whatever
|| the spell is great when there are enemies above you and are just out of reach, there are some bosses that I beat only with my nail and howling wraith||
i dont have ||fragile strength|| because i have it to ||divine|| and i want the charm from the ||mantis lord to get geo from the colleseum||
cn someone help
Wtf how are you actually meant to ||find out how to upgrade the howling wraiths spell|| without the wiki...
||Shaman spell twister and stesdy body grubsong, use a lot of spells, specislly dive||
hard to tell you without spoilers.. Where is the furthest point u have made it?
||dreamnail, looking at the background and correlating it to the spell||
also do spoilers matter anyway?? is there a story?
Yea just wait you havent made it there yet. And yea there is a story.
Yeah. But also gameplay spoilers kinda suck too
Yeah dont u like finding it out for yourself?
but the guy told me its nearbyyyy
Youll see quite soon
i wanna fight the ||mantis lords because all the other bosses are easy as fuck and this one seems interesting cuz he said my weapon is bad or something ||
spoilers? ||im also pretty curious are yall talking about the mantis claw or can you really upgrade your sword?||
Fight them then
even tho the guy said not to?
He did not say that
Misunderstood it then
hey everyone im playing hollow knight!!!!
now look i played this game before and im thinking (hey i think i got to mostly everywhere on the ||forgotten crossroads|| and like whats the next thing to do to progress the plot? whats the next important item i need since i dont have many charms?) thanks
is there something to do with that ?
i dont really read dialogue he said something to this effect like, its not recomemended
||could anyone tell me how many notches was the fragile strength||
No
dude am i getting gaslit?????
Its more like
||if youre too weak you can come bsck later when youre better kinda thing||
||oh okay well im weak as fuck but ill go fight it anyway probably beat it cuz all the bosses so far were easy||
wait you can fight the ||mantis lords||???
Yeah
holyy fuck I should stop clicking on random spoilers
should I buy ||all fragile charms from leg eater|| in ||steel soul||
||well greed wont do too much but yeah||
Ig
||it IS 50% damage increase||
oh
he is NOT scamming us
then
imma only buy the yk what one tho
cant bother putting spoilers
imma go broke if i buy the rest
||U can use the defenders crest to reduce cost if u have that||
Not by much tho tbh
why do all the enemies in ||soul sanctum look like ghosts||
||so strength would be 480||
self explanatory kinda?
no idea
maybe cuz they all try to do soul stuff
yeye
so far i can manage the ||first phase of the mantis lords fine, the second phase creates issues||
Makes sense
its easier on mute because the music over stimulates my ears
||if you feel like youre gonna get hit, do a very small hop then inmediatelly dive to negate all damage||
do yall also get scared when the game gives you an autosave? (a bench... or a lot of ||soul jars all of a sudden||
You can ||heal on the double disk attack, if its going down stay at the veryy center of the srena and start hesling. Shluld go over you||
||if its going up just wsit till it passes through the middle then heal||
and a big place that looks like a arena
Who the fuck is that... do I fight him? im scared to unpause
Do you have a choice at this point?
not really
idk
holy fuck i died again
what the hell dude
:(
I wish enemies had a health bar
||why does my own soul wanna kill me?||
how can i go in the other room ?
is there anything to gain here besides the dialogue?
im cooked didnt follow anything she said..
does this guy have multiple phases?
ok thx
||she gives u a white fragment||
what is that?
look in ur charm menu, u should have it if u already spoke to her
can someone help me a little
ah ye its a charm, gotcha thanks!
its cool but it has a huge downside
should I equip ||fury or lifeblood heart|| ?
im using ||longnail rn, should I buy the charm that gives you more iFrames after getting hit? is that good?||
Im doing a ||Steel soul run|| and I forgot a lot of the game because I havent played in almost a year, what should I get and which bosses should I do first?
||its okay but for soul master specifically its not gonna help out too much since he teleports around a lot anyways so u wont really be able to use the extra iframes||
Not a single one of these are good
thanks
I figured it out
but i havent had the opportunity to get better ones tho
just those ||fragile ones but I'd die a lot so I dont want them||
and theyre expensive
You can ||do false knight, then get soul spell and go to greenpath to defeat hronet, etc. ||
|| WOW the mantis lords are SO FUN im having a blast, finally , a real difficulty boss. just wondering cuz its kinda long to test, on the second phase of the fight when there are two of them, and they throw the double boomerang, you have to sit under it right?? you cant jump over? at least for one of the two ways of throwing?||
Oww in endgame you will REALLY want to get em...
Try jumping over or pogo-ing them)
||are there any bosses in the abyss||?
Attacks I mean
whats pogo?
Im halfway there, do you have any tips for powerful early game ||charms or mask/vessel fragments||, and ty for answering
||no||
||i got the shadow shriek and dash, is there anything else to get||?
I need help finding the last ||mask shard||
i lost 8k geo twice or some
and the ass banker is hidden in his weird ass spot and I cant get to him easily
wdym by pogo in it? is it a ability i didnt unlock yet
lol im after that mission too lol..
Like I know where they are
But I can’t find them
||soul catcher in ancestral mound is a good early game charm, then shaman stone is amazing, accessible at salubra after u obtain dash. as for mask shards and vessel fragments, u can buy some at sly, and there is also an easily accessible mask shard in crossroads near some goams after u get claw. and u can also rescue some grubs for money and mask shard as well||
Where
Ty
Downstrike using nail, bouncing of sharp things...
how can i get to these 2 objectives?
Read my message up)
Don't worry, if you won't try you won't know)
lol kk
Just time your strike
Story and ||having 15 lifeblood hearts at the same time||
For the first one, you need to have (iirc) ||15 lifeblood hearts||
For the second one, you need ||both fragments of white charm||. Might want to put a hold on it if you haven't ||finished the game once at least||
||bruh theres also a abysal bloom there which is impossible to get|| @eager shore @hushed folio
A what
||abyssal bloom is a modded charm. it is not present in the base game||
guys, the hitboxes are finicky, I promise Im good at the game, I would never cheat, subscribe I guess
PALE COURT MOD
guys its a mod.
Bro, this is MODS
oh lmao
kekw
deadass
💀
im clueless rn dont know where to head
What did you do last? Regarding story I mean
AWE HELL NAW I DIDNT KNOW THIS GUY ||SOUL MASTER|| HAD MORE THAN ONE PHASe
||talk to hornet after getting the two items in abyss||
||then defeated the warrior dream in kingdoms edge||
Pay a visit to the ||black egg temple||
You will see something interesting
aye sound good, thanks for the tip!
No problem!)
||I'm pretty sure they don't have that item||
Just ||shade cloak and an egg||
what's the thing under my health bar ?
Thanks for the reminder
||that is the godtuner icon. it indicates that u have unlocked that boss in godhome (in this case hive knight)||
Tell me please, what did you get in the ||abyss||?
