[subtle portal]

Even after i kill || the hollow knight||

[thick wing]

How much practicing did it take everyone here until they got the hang of ||absrad||

[acoustic sigil]

Yes

[glad quail]

yeah but i suck at the game lmao

[polar flicker]

But idw spoil if u wanna find it urself

[acoustic sigil]

||Don't tell them stuff they don't ask for (ie mentioning alternate endings at all)||

[polar flicker]

Deleted

[subtle portal]

How do i get to the ||colluseum?||

[sleek flax]

||Also how do I defete these dumb jellyfish||

[acoustic sigil]

You don't, just run past them

[polar flicker]

I will just say there is more stuff

[subtle portal]

?

[steel urchin]

Hey guys does anyone have any tips for ||radiant oblobble||, The ||Lovers of devotion and faith are giving me a hard time||

Beyond this, I have no fucking clue

[polar flicker]

This isn't a boss either

[bright lichen]

so this is why I dislike theese types of games. I recently got a few mobility items and now the whole fucking map has opened to me but that means that I gotta explore the whole fucking map and its very annoying. Like give me 2-3 options to do at a time. and the annoying part is that theyre very far away from eachother like at least make ||stagways inbetween EVERY bench||

[sleek flax]

||Okay what about this black barrier on fog canon?||

Do I need another item?

[steel urchin]

Isn't that || their godhome description||

[coarse nest]

Wdym

[acoustic sigil]

Yes. You'll know when you get it

[polar flicker]

Lover god's ?

Ohh idk their description tbh

[polar flicker]

Yes

[coarse nest]

Yes

[acoustic sigil]

You can systematically check the map. Like you rarely have to go from one side of the map to the other over and over

[limpid python]

do ||sharp shadow, thorns of agony, and the nail arts become more powerful with the effect of fury of the fallen and unbreakable strength? Since the ladder things affect nail damage and the former thing's do damage based off of it, supposedly.||
But I don't know.

[polar flicker]

||U don't need to explore everything plus there's alot of stagstations and shortcuts||

[acoustic sigil]

||Nail arts are affected by fury. Other than that, all no||

[polar flicker]

|| plus there's other travelling methods too ||

[fossil flicker]

I actually dont have a problem with the exploration at all || its the bosses that are kicking my ass ||

[bright lichen]

😭

damn

[limpid python]

Does anybody even know what I'm talking about?

[polar flicker]

Thommie answered

[polar flicker]

.

[sleek flax]

Oh gosh okay I got to another area and I died this game is peak

[subtle portal]

how do i get to ||kingdoms edge||

[polar flicker]

||Have u been to kings station||

[subtle portal]

Indeed

[polar flicker]

||Go there under the stag station you'll find a broken bench ||

[bright lichen]

is there a way to disable the screen shake in this game?

[subtle portal]

Ok

[bright lichen]

I kinda have issues with this and its making it unplayable

[polar flicker]

I've never had tht issue tbh

Are u on pc?

[bright lichen]

laptop

[polar flicker]

Maybe modify some settings

[fossil flicker]

Like during fights the screen is shaking?

[bright lichen]

nah but I have a lil issues with epilepsy and both the ||enraged guardian|| and the area with those ||dreamers|| are kinda :/

and a few other examples but those were a bit okayer-ish

[hollow bramble]

Perhaps turn brightness down

[fossil flicker]

Might be some mods idk, I play on switch, brightness might help 2

[bright lichen]

oh yeah mods

should I try hk mods?

what are they about

[fossil flicker]

I dont see why not

[bright lichen]

thunderstore mod manager? or trough steam?

[polar flicker]

Ehh i wouldn't if u haven't played the game fully normally but upto u

[polar flicker]

Lumafly is where most of the hk mods are

[bright lichen]

aight thx

[jade sedge]

You should avoid all mods other than accessibility ones like the one you are looking for

[clear solar]

||103% completion and i still haven’t found godhome am i cooked? a tiny hint would be cool just a little one||

[golden epoch]

is there anyway i can get past here

[bright lichen]

:))

yeah, later on

[shut sparrow]

||godhome is usually what you find last||

[golden epoch]

like when

bc im already further in the game

i just went back

[clear solar]

ok noted

[bright lichen]

send your inventory for a sec

[sleek flax]

||Okay I just got the howlingwraiths and now I’m lost again ||

[shut sparrow]

||since you probably won't find it on your own even when having done everything else I'll tell you it's in waterways. I'd only look for it once you have like 105%-107% though||

[jade sedge]

Please delete the image and resend with spoiler tags

[bright lichen]

dude... what the fuck man wdym you cant go further

[sleek flax]

Oh wait nevermind

[golden epoch]

how do you do that again

[golden epoch]

the wall is blocked off

[jade sedge]

You open that from the other side

[golden epoch]

ooo okay

nvm then thanks

[jade sedge]

If you still want to know, the image in pins tells how to

[golden epoch]

okay ty

[jade sedge]

It appears you can edit it in some file called config.ini but mods can do it too

[vernal mist]

I saw in a vid that there is a ||pin for the location of the grubs|| is that modded? If not how do I find it

[polar flicker]

U need to beat a boss

[vernal mist]

Which?

[polar flicker]

And get an item for it

[polar flicker]

|| the collector ||

[vernal mist]

Ahh okay

[sleek flax]

||Are the hallowcrest things only used for selling?||

[polar flicker]

Yea

[sleek flax]

Oh sweet ok

[ruby thicket]

This u?

[fossil flicker]

|| my only issue with the game itself being a totally new player is difficulty cause I went in super blind. I just knew this game was popular so I wanted to try it. What I didnt know is that it has a reputation for being a souls like lol so I got eaten alive by the game but overall I like it alot ||

[ruby thicket]

Personally I loved going into it blind, it was really fun to figure things out myself

[polar flicker]

Keep practicing I struggled alot too

[rugged veldt]

As weird as it may sound, the difficulty is part of the fun

[polar flicker]

I died 4 times to || false knight ||

[ruby thicket]

💔

[tiny shard]

Can I get help with ||nkg||

[rugged veldt]

It took me over an hour to get through the platforming in ||king's pass||

[fossil flicker]

|| my problems is a personal problem I tilt easy so I need to be careful ||

[polar flicker]

|| But now I've beaten 112% so w practice u can def do it ||

And if ur rlly struggling u can use mods on pc
But I wouldn't recommend it

[tiny shard]

I'm on Nintendo

[fossil flicker]

No im on switch as well

[polar flicker]

Oh I was talking to stealyokill

[tiny shard]

Oh sorry

[sleek flax]

Ye

[jade sedge]

Is there specific attacks giving you most trouble? Send a screenshot of your charms if you want suggestions

[rain hatch]

||i only need 1800 ess for TE right? ||

[tiny shard]

Ehh I'm really bad are healing charms good?

[rain hatch]

no

[jade sedge]

Do you have all charms

[tiny shard]

I sleep now sorry

[polar flicker]

Yes

But more if ur going for ||112%||

[fossil flicker]

Most of my charms i use is || grub song, shamen stone and the one that gives u extra heath for sitting at bench ||

[polar flicker]

|| lifeblood heart isn't great tbh||

|| Id use longnail if u have 2 notches to spare ||

[desert turret]

How do I download the little grimm skin? (I can't find the download)

[polar flicker]

Prob ask in #modding-discussion / #1057825333841240104

[desert turret]

Thank you

[fossil flicker]

Thought it would be good for ||bosses||

[limpid python]

any tips for ||fourth pantheon|| when it comes to charm loadout

[fossil flicker]

Also had to remap my buttons cause Nintendo layout is shit

[polar flicker]

|| I used shaman stone strength mop and soul catcher ||

[jade sedge]

||Generally the base line is shamans qs strength, and then twister or some combination of gsong nmg sbody or maybe dwielder||

[polar flicker]

But depends on ur playstyle tbh

[fossil flicker]

As of right now I play super reckless which is biting me in the butt I get inpatient

[shut sparrow]

||catcher|| shouldn't be forgotten

it's often just as good if not better than ||twister||

[ruby thicket]

||Do twister and catcher give the same effect?||

[polar flicker]

||Ye just take it slow and chill||

[jade sedge]

Please spoiler tag this

[shut sparrow]

||twister reduces the amount of soul spells cost while catcher increases the soul you gain with each strike. They both increase soul efficiency but work slightly differently||

[jade sedge]

||Twister is more efficient but only reduces spell cost, so catcher becomes better when you heal a lot||

[ruby thicket]

Ahh okay thanks

[royal crow]

One thing left to do

[fossil flicker]

|| played this morning against hornet. The 2nd time you face her when she puts the strings to damage you. So I rushed her and it did not go well ||

[bright lichen]

aint there a ||stagway in crystal peaks|| ????

[jade sedge]

No

[polar flicker]

No

[bright lichen]

at all?

damn

[polar flicker]

There is a shortcut tho

[bright lichen]

ye to ||dirtmouth|| or what do you mean

||the lift?||

[polar flicker]

Yea

[bright lichen]

alr

[last vapor]

idk what to do here?

[jade sedge]

||What can you remember about those masks||

[stable umbra]

Does anyone have the game in steam?

[polar flicker]

Yes

[last vapor]

bro im not in touch with the lore man

[shut sparrow]

||twister by itself actually isn't more efficient. Only on the small orbs||

[fossil flicker]

Anyone got any tips for ||watcher knights also are they super important to defeat? ||

[last vapor]

have u seen ma dm?

[polar flicker]

Yes

[jade sedge]

||So you have no idea how the three masks appeared on your map?||

[polar flicker]

|| go above them and break the chandelier||

[stable umbra]

Can you DM me?

[stable umbra]

Do you DM me?

[polar flicker]

Y?

[last vapor]

yes , but u aint answerin

[polar flicker]

Just curious cuz scams and stuff

[stable umbra]

I did not receive anything from you

[last vapor]

i have no fricking clue man

[jade sedge]

||Dream nail||

[stable umbra]

DM again maybe it was a bug

[last vapor]

i did , maybe u got dm from strangers off

[royal crow]

|| do you get anything from godhome challenges||

[acoustic sigil]

Satisfaction

Maybe

[polar flicker]

Completion percentage

[fossil flicker]

|| when I get home from work I'll remember that and try it. And hopefully take care of hornet as well. I really need to learn how to not get inpatient lol ||

[jade sedge]

||Unless my math is very wrong, it takes 2,18 hits with twister and 2,36 hits with catcher for one cast, which tbh isnt that big of a difference||

[acoustic sigil]

Those numbers check out to me

||I think the conclusion is that if you use primarily spells, use twister. If you also use a lot of soul for healing, use catcher||

[warm meteor]

does beating the game give a %

[bright lichen]

are there massive spoilers on the lore channel?
I just got like random questions halfway trough progression

[last vapor]

||so what was the lore , i received her knowledge or why she sacrifice?||

[polar flicker]

Surprisingly no

If by beating the game u mean the final bosses

[jade sedge]

||Remember the three ghosts that appeared after hornet and then again when you got dream nail? That was one of them, and you killed her. Then you saw a cutscene which you might remember now, or understand eventually||

[last vapor]

||ye but why should i kill them tree are they like the dudes that made this curse rampage thing||

[bright lichen]

guess who's lucky :)))

[polar flicker]

No

[bright lichen]

||grubby grubby, yes grubfather.||
||Eatin grubs? no, no,||
||Open your mouth. ||

[polar flicker]

Does bro know

[bright lichen]

he does indeed

[shut sparrow]

||I forgot catcher was +3 not +4. Yeah you're right. Twister is a little more efficient. If my math is correct that would mean catcher is more efficient if you use your soul at least ~58% for healing. This tbh is more than I expected but I think might still be fitting for many players. Of course this is still disregarding the advantage twister has on small vessels and the general lower spell cost for more flexibility and quadruple casts||

[bright lichen]

wiki is my main enemy

i swear never to look a gain

my eyes slipped for a sec cuz I was tryna find how much geo it gives you in total

[fossil flicker]

Could've told u that lol

[bright lichen]

and i saw what happens

[jade sedge]

||I counted that the point where they are equally good is using somewhere between 3-4 spells for each heal, but this doesnt take the small orbs into account and im not doing that now||

[polar flicker]

F

[fossil flicker]

I haven't even touched wiki cause I want to be blind lol other than ask for boss tips

[shut sparrow]

that's vastly different from my result
How did you calculate it?

[jade sedge]

||Amount of soul required for the casts and the heal divided by soul per hit|| idk im too tired and i gtg for a few minutes

[fossil flicker]

|| you guys dont have to answer of its spoilery but I tossed all my money down a well um like 2000 will i get that back? ||

[polar flicker]

No

[fossil flicker]

Rip

[polar flicker]

It is an investment for something useful

[bright lichen]

try tossing some more

see how that ends out

:)

[rich vine]

Just be sure to ||have 3k next time||

[bright lichen]

://

[polar flicker]

||Only 1k||

[bright lichen]

yeah it adds it up

oh well

[polar flicker]

It saves how much u throw

[rich vine]

Oh does it? Good to know

[fossil flicker]

Hmm nice

|| I sat on that shit thinking for like 10 min on whether or not to do it so ||

[shut sparrow]

Yeah then I'm getting the same results. ||for 1-3 casts per heal catcher us superior. From that point on twister is.
I might do vessels at some point but I'm also tired. Sorry if I was bothering you btw||

[jade sedge]

Not at all lmao this was a fun convo

[warm meteor]

What do y'all think I should do for my last % for 100% on ||steel soul||

[acoustic sigil]

One of the charms

[warm meteor]

i am not getting the ||charms||

i'd rather do ||colo 3||

[acoustic sigil]

Why

[warm meteor]

i dont wanna bother

[jade sedge]

Remember spoiler tags

Also thats the single most risky thing you could do

[acoustic sigil]

Hm what is more a bother, a challenge that could very well end your run and if not, still takes at least 10 minutes, or getting a charm

[warm meteor]

challenge

[tiny spear]

||Trial of the fool||
Or ||find every grub for the charm ||/jk

[warm meteor]

but i wanna

[jade sedge]

Please spoiler tag your message

[warm meteor]

||i might get 31 grubs for the pale ore||

[acoustic sigil]

Do what you want

But you asked for advice and you got it

[tiny spear]

Sorry didn't see where I was

[warm meteor]

did you want me to get one of the charms?

yea you did

imma go get ||king soul||

[acoustic sigil]

That's what I would say is the safest and potentially the quickest yes

Homie

||Beating traitor lord is already a %||

And

Spoiler tags

[bright lichen]

||our stag said something about the stag home or something like that and that he'd take me to it but idk where it is||

[warm meteor]

gawd i hate spoiler tags

i wanna speak

[bright lichen]

should it be in the stations list?

[acoustic sigil]

He'll take you to it when the time is there

[bright lichen]

oh

:/

ok

[acoustic sigil]

||It will be in the stations list eventually||

[bright lichen]

YOOO THIS SEEMS VERYYY SIMMILAR TO ||broken vessel||

[warm meteor]

||i was going to check how many grubbys i had so i can get more for the pale ore||

but i got 31 already

somehow

imma go make the ||nail upgrade|| for the last percent

[fossil flicker]

They are good tho with silk song right around the corner alot of new players like me are playing HK for the first time.

[faint cypress]

[polar flicker]

I have heard this yes

[polar flicker]

Ye u can ping me tmrw if u still didn't get it but pretty sure someone else will help u by then

[faint cypress]

no one other than u is answering i doubt it

[fossil flicker]

There is one thing about this game I picked up on and its exploration dont be afraid to go anywhere. The point is to get ||Lost||

[cosmic sail]

ugh guys i think im stuck

[jade sedge]

Climb up the same way you entered

[warm meteor]

how come & use spoilers

show us the situation ur in

[jade sedge]

Its tagged

[warm meteor]

i bet he is stuck on the ||spike parkour||

[jade sedge]

Spoilered images have been working really badly lately for me

[acoustic sigil]

Same

Discord moment

[warm meteor]

tho that map seems not so familiar

||waterways to basin?||

no way

i dont know my map knowledge

shit

[fossil flicker]

Spoiler images have been working for me haven't seen nothin 😃

[shut sparrow]

my phone completely gave up on them

haven't seen a tagged one in months

I think it has to do with pc idk

[bright lichen]

||I went to this old bug without eyes that was pleading for mercy in the stone sanctuary and its asking me to fight it. Should I?||

[cosmic sail]

||alr i need to beat the boss at the Soul Sanctum that’s why i couldn’t break the ground||

[faint cypress]

im about to kms

[jade sedge]

Yeah go on

[jade sedge]

Please spoiler tag that

[shut sparrow]

don't say that

[fossil flicker]

Why just explore you will find it eventually like I did

[warm meteor]

should I go full ||nail build for hk||

i got the max

[faint cypress]

ur cool im not

[rapid basin]

||charm build for ngk||

[devout walrus]

Depends on your play style

[fossil flicker]

Ask @shut sparrow mf for help

[jade sedge]

Do you have all charms? If not, send what you have

[warm meteor]

rocking ||spell twister + shaman + strength + grubby rn||

[faint cypress]

who tf is this

[fossil flicker]

Someone that has more playtime than me lol

[acoustic sigil]

||Do you have the map of city||

[devout walrus]

Good loadout

[rapid basin]

||charm build for nkg||

[acoustic sigil]

@rapid basin

[tiny spear]

I prefer ||nail builds with strength, quick slash, mark of pride, steady body (to make it easier to attack when the tendrils come up), and nail master's glory (dash slash is not too bad this fight)||

[devout walrus]

Maybe pick something to replace ||grubsong, like longnail, or soul catcher||

[bright lichen]

I KNEW IT
||SO THE DREAMERS AND THE LIGHT WERE BAD AFTER ALL||

[tiny spear]

||dreamers are not bad. The light is bad tho||

[livid shoal]

Not really

[rapid basin]

Ok thx

[bright lichen]

noted

[coarse nest]

Just had my 1st death to ||rad lesgoo||
Late game spoilers
Any tips for build?
Should I get ||tmg 1st for the charm notch?||

[jade sedge]

You should fight it a few more tries and ask help after you are really stuck

[bright lichen]

||but why do you fight the dreamers tho if theyre good?||

[livid shoal]

You don't fight them

[jade sedge]

It'd be better for you to try to find out yourself eventually imo

[bright lichen]

WUT DUH HELL

aight

[hollow seal]

||just beat radiance, so now i have 3/5 endings. anyone know the first step to go about reaching the others? no spoilers||

[acoustic sigil]

Can you send a screenshot of your map and inventory

[shut sparrow]

before you do 4 and 5 I recommend you get pretty much everything else in the game

[acoustic sigil]

That as well

[warm meteor]

||9.26 hours and i finally got 100% steel soul, 100% in 20 hours & beat steel soul AT ONCE||

https://tenor.com/view/speed-ishowspeed-ishowspeed-jump-jump-at-camera-gif-13692130268687196891

i am so done with ts but there is more

achievements

ESPECIALLY ||P5||

[hollow seal]

||so charms? anything else i should look out for? thank you||

[warm meteor]

i didn't even get ||hunter's mark|| on my 112 save

🙏

the one thing i need

[shut sparrow]

||mask shards, vessel fragments, nail upgrades. The last 2 endings have to do with the final one of the major "dlc" updates. It's kinda supposed to be done after everything else since it's by far the hardest||

[hollow seal]

thanks a lot

[vague grail]

does every boss have a pattern to be exploited? I'm new to HK and I'm having a hard time trying to learn movement and combat

I've only taken down 2 bosses and stuck on a third

[fossil flicker]

Becareful since your new if you say anything spoilery use || at the beggining of a sentence and end to spoil censor it.

[vague grail]

i am being cautious 🙂

[robust ridge]

yes

[fossil flicker]

Im new as well and yeah it seems like || every boss has some sort of exploit. People have been telling me dont forget to use spells||

[acoustic sigil]

Exploited is a big word

You dodge and attack

[robust ridge]

in general you should try and focus on dodging and get hits in when you can

[fossil flicker]

Yeah im super trash so I need healing constantly so I never get to use spells

[minor anchor]

Youll get better

[limpid python]

||is twister still more efficient than catcher even if you have quick slash?||

[shrewd wren]

whats the problem?

[limpid python]

||you're missing one||

[vague grail]

i think my coming from Soulsborne games helps and hinders me because I understand that I can spend time learning patterns but I also overextend when attacking, end up taking too many hits and panic lol

[fossil flicker]

Hope so 🙂

[minor anchor]

14

[shrewd wren]

oh is it because I don't have ||all face masks||?

[robust ridge]

what charms are you using right now?

[gentle frost]

this is a genuine question that i'm asking which is probably a stupid one but. ||does markoth's shield have aimbot?|| i always get hit ||his shield spinning attack. even when it feels or looks like it shouldn't have hit me||

[robust ridge]

you don't need them all to be able to open it

[robust ridge]

try using ||fragile heart|| too

also wow i just got an error for replying to you as you deleted it

never seen that before

[limpid python]

||is twister still more efficient than catcher even if you have quick slash?||

[vague grail]

are there || more charms I can get before fighting Hornet? I fought false knight and gruz but I feel like I'm bumbling around compared to Hornet's zipping around me ||

[shrewd wren]

ty

[robust ridge]

hm? how does that change anything?

it benefits them both equally

[robust ridge]

||not really, hornet's just a skill check- basically everyone struggles with her

focus on dodging and get hits in where you can

only heal when she falls over, during her needle throw if you're out of range, or during her aoe attack

a vengeful spirit does 3 nail hits of damage so it's super useful in combat, learning to use spells early will help a lot||

[coarse nest]

I just cheesed ||troupe master grim lol||

Gotta make a new ||charm loadout now yay||

[robust ridge]

||shriek spam?||

[coarse nest]

Yup
||Twister, shaman, grubsong, stalwart||
||I'm on 1 hp.but crucially he is on 0||

[robust ridge]

seems like you took the advice "reduce the boss' hp to zero while maintaining a positive hp yourself" literally

[wild current]

Before I say something. I’d like to ask how to I spoiler my message

[robust ridge]

?tag spoilers

[languid radish]

🔹 Ensure Discord’s spoiler tagging is used around spoilers (People, Places, and Things should be spoiler tagged!! if you are confused, please see the pins for what is allowed ).
We do this to be considerate of multiple conversations taking place. Two vertical bars on either side of text will tag it as a spoiler - ||This is a spoiler.|| > ||This is a spoiler.|| Alternatively, adding /spoiler at the start of a message will tag it.

🔹 If you have sent an untagged message, you must either edit it to include spoiler tags or delete it.

[shrewd wren]

is it normal that I can't find anything in here-

[robust ridge]

||there are 2 things in here- however, once you pick up the more important one, you'll be locked out forever

if you get to a large room with an item on a pedastal, try finding the other item first||

[robust ridge]

do you have every charm?

i can recommend one for ||radiance||

[vague grail]

do you have any tips for || movement in combat? are there any tricks to dodging other than spacing and jumping? I feel like the dodging is most of my struggles with her fight||

[coarse nest]

Yup

[coarse nest]

Sure go for it

[random vale]

Can someone tell me what to do after crystals peak?

[robust ridge]

it's just something you get used to honestly, the only thing i can really say is to try and keep your movements simple

[wild current]

Ok, I don’t know how to progress in || the city of tears|| idk what exactly I need to unlock (the hidden map thing shows all the areas Ive managed to unlock)

[robust ridge]

every attack in this game can be dodged with a simple-ish set of movements

try and find the simplest, most reliable ways to dodge

[robust ridge]

oh also try not to jump too much

[fossil flicker]

Like jumping and moving away and slash em that's what I've been doing be dodgy yourself lol

[robust ridge]

it can put you in bad situations

only jump when you need to

[vague grail]

i've seen some people use a technique where they jump on an enemy while slashing down to hit/bounce off of them. is that something I should be doing now or does that become important later on?

[robust ridge]

||shaman, quickslash, strength, twister||

||if you bring in full soul from thk, 8 shrieks is enough to delete over half her hp||

[mighty canyon]

does anyone know if you can actually get to this spot ||with just the cloak jump? ||

[robust ridge]

it gets more important later on but it doesn't hurt to get used to early

not only is it a good tool for combat but it can actually help with exploration too

[coarse nest]

Alr thanks
||I was running soul catcher||

[robust ridge]

you're not supposed to get there yet, but you can ||dash, stall in the air by firing a vengeful spirit, and then dash again||

[coarse nest]

You can't, not yet

[robust ridge]

you just have to tank some damage to get back out after

[bright garden]

guys im trying to 100% in ||steel soul|| mode is there any certain guide i can follow to see what i should do in a order to not have such a high risk of dying

[vague grail]

ok cool! I'll keep the simple dodging in mind when attempting later on tonight. my saving grace right now is the ||bench being available right outside her fight lol||

[robust ridge]

@shrewd wren yeah go find the other thing

[robust ridge]

that's the one that'll ||lock you out permanently||

[bright garden]

guys im trying to 100% in|| steel soul ||mode is there any certain guide i can follow to see what i should do in a order to not have such a high risk of dying

[fossil flicker]

|| who are you fighting if I may ask?||

[mighty canyon]

doesnt work || i tapped F but it didnt let me dash again ||

[robust ridge]

you have to ||dash off the platform||

otherwise you won't get a second one

[mighty canyon]

oh so || dash while im grounded in the platform?||

[bright garden]

guys im trying to 100% in ||steel soul mode|| is there any certain guide i can follow to see what i should do in a order to not have such a high risk of dying

[robust ridge]

yeah, do that, ||stall with a fireball, and then just spam the dash button and you should make it across||

[vague grail]

||Hornet. she's wiping the floor with my bloody face 😭 ||

[tough coral]

||you can exit to menu when you're on one mask or at the risk of dying and you don't lose any progress||

[robust ridge]

i'm not aware of a specific guide but generally ||try to get shade soul as early as possible and it will carry you in combat||

also, note that ||you don't die in all dreams except two special ones||

[shrewd wren]

tysm ❤️

[fossil flicker]

||bro same I keep dying so much 😭||

[hollow bramble]

Just progress normally u shud already know where’s dangerous if uve already done a play through. If you are prone to dying at bosses well get better

[mighty canyon]

ty

cool mechanic, would have never knew this was a thing :D

[bright garden]

||also, i saw a clip of someone leaving the game and counting as death, is there any situation that i cant leave to the menu||

[mighty canyon]

wat does this do?

[robust ridge]

you'll figure it out later (can't do anything with it yet)

[robust ridge]

no, that shouldn't ever happen

[vague grail]

i really got humbled when ||I was exploring Greenpath and got to the area kind of just before her where the knight appears from the pile of leaves on the ground. I thought he was a boss and kept dying to him only to find out he is a normal enemy and there was another 3 of them between me and Hornet 💀||

[robust ridge]

oh that's a pretty normal experience

[bright garden]

then if im like 1hp and am about to die, i can just leave the game

is that it

[robust ridge]

hey just be glad you're not the guy who spent 22 hours on ||hornet||

[robust ridge]

yeah

[bright garden]

even on bosses

[robust ridge]

yep

[bright garden]

u fr?

[robust ridge]

the game never punishes you for quitting out

[robust ridge]

yeah it's a well known "cheese"

[bright garden]

i see

[robust ridge]

a good number of people actually avoid it because it makes it a bit too easy

but it's totally up to you if you want to use it or not

[fossil flicker]

||yeah same this game is brutal my problem is a tilt too fast ||

[mighty canyon]

How do i turn this on?

[shrewd basin]

||It's just automatically turned on in dark places||

[sick grotto]

||first three pantheons all bindings (not all bindings in one go)||

[robust ridge]

||it only light up in dark rooms but it's automatic||

[mighty canyon]

aahh

[shrewd basin]

Nice

[robust ridge]

congrats! fyi people usually say ||all bindings|| to mean ||all 4 at once|| though so this might confuse some people

[sick grotto]

im trying to beat ||p5|| before silksong so the grind is on 😭

[sick grotto]

ohh sorry 😭

[zealous bear]

Good luck

[vague grail]

as I'm a beginner, is it a realistic goal to beat the game (not 100% or more) before SS release?

[robust ridge]

beat the game once? absolutely

[shrewd basin]

Yes

[zealous bear]

Depends

[sick grotto]

thanks

[fossil flicker]

Im 14 hrs in with the same goal.

[robust ridge]

i think the term is just ||every binding||

no need to write out all that

[fossil flicker]

But i have a full time job so we will see

[zealous bear]

Im about 800 hours in with the same goal

[robust ridge]

if you can beat ||p3 with the bindings you can definitely get p5 before silksong||

[sick grotto]

ahh okay

[zealous bear]

I'm unemployed 🔥

[river stone]

whats the best hk wiki?

[robust ridge]

it's just called hollow knight wiki, nothing special

fandom is quite bad and fextralife somehow manages to be even worse

[tough coral]

crazy work

[raw pebble]

i dont understand the timing behind ||pure vessels|| triple slash attack

its so inconsistent

[river stone]

so hollowknight.wiki?

[robust ridge]

something like that yeah

[sick grotto]

oh yeah I’ve done ||all radiant bosses too except gpz (havent fought him in brettas basement yet bc hes too hard and I don’t want him ruining my pantheon runs) and absrad (haven’t gotten to the end of p5 before)||

[river stone]

aight ty :3

[robust ridge]

oh wait if you've done ||all radiant bosses p5 will be lightwork||

that's generally considered much much harder

[shrewd basin]

I've done ||p1-5AB and RadHoG||

[wild current]

Does anyone have any good walkthroughs for || city of tears ||

[shrewd basin]

I started the game last year

[mighty canyon]

just discovered this place.. kinda stump should i venture forward here or go back to || greenpath and go explore fog canyon first?||

[robust ridge]

how many hours?

[wraith sail]

Ye

[vague grail]

I have just a few hours each night to play so I'm doing what I can. Is there a clear indicator as to progress in the game? I know Dark Souls for instance you've got your two bells and then the lord souls before final boss, but not sure if there is anything equivalent for HK

[robust ridge]

im working on ||p5ab|| right now but i don't think ill make it before silksong releases

[shrewd basin]

675 hours including challenge runs

[sick grotto]

it’s ||markoth i always die on but I did radiant markoth in 3 tries today (my first time ever attempting his radiant difficulty) 😭 in other words now i should be good - ill do another run tomorrow and see what happens||

[robust ridge]

||the main objective of the game isn't revealed until later||

[sick grotto]

I kind of cooked

[robust ridge]

||he's considered the hardest radiant besides absrad||

so that's pretty normal

if it helps ||using nail arts for phase 1 and saving all your soul for phase 2 to spam shade souls|| works really well

[robust ridge]

oh wow

[shrewd basin]

||I did absrad first try on radiant after dying hundreds of times on ascended the hardest for me was oblobbles on radiant||

[sick grotto]

yeah that’s exactly what I did lol it worked very well

[shrewd basin]

How many hours you got

[robust ridge]

a bit under 250 rn

[shrewd basin]

Have you completed everything

[sick grotto]

yeah same for me ||markoth on ascended was hell but I did him 3rd try on radiant||

[fossil flicker]

|| I am at the second Hornet fight getting schooled by her so that's how far I am with 14 hr in||

[robust ridge]

i mean i got all achievements if that's what you mean

[shrewd basin]

Nice

[robust ridge]

i also tried a little speedrunning but my pb is like 51 something

[shrewd basin]

Any ||bindings||

[robust ridge]

||it's quite possible you're just undergeared

she's a very hard boss||

[thick wing]

is there any french who wanna play with me (hk online)

[robust ridge]

||p1-p4ab||

[shrewd basin]

||radiants||

[robust ridge]

all

[sick grotto]

oh quick question will I need to do ||gpz and absrad on radiant to get the all radiants reward or just gpz?||

[shrewd basin]

Spoiler tags

[robust ridge]

||if you didn't let zote die i think you have to do him for the reward, even though he doesn't show up in p5

try doing absrad first though, not sure if that's true or not||

[fossil flicker]

|| I think i just suck i have 2 nail upgrades so channeled nail is what I have, im running grubsong, and shamen stone and the one that gives u extra life for sitting at bench and she is still bloodying the floor with my face also I have 7 masks. ||

[shrewd basin]

||You need all defeated||

[vague grail]

Wanting to explore everything but also beat HK so I can be part of the Silksong hype zeitgeist has me struggling lol 🥲

[sick grotto]

oh man 😭

[mighty canyon]

i feel like ill burnt myself out by the time silksong releases doing that lol

[robust ridge]

||i think usually it's done with 3 upgrades, you're a bit lacking in charms (6 notches is quite low, though shaman stone is op and grubsong is quite good), and that's a normal amount of hp||

[shrewd basin]

||Maybe get some more upgrades first||

[sick grotto]

I remember struggling à lot on that boss on my first playthrough so good luck in the future

[robust ridge]

the message is spoilered btw, discord mobile is just buggy and doesn't always show image spoilers

[sick grotto]

does the word boss need spoiler tags i can’t remember 😭

[shrewd basin]

Ah right

[sick grotto]

yeah I was wondering if that was aimes towards me lol

[shrewd basin]

I doubt it

[zealous bear]

Nah

[sick grotto]

I mean it’s pretty obvious theres bosses in the game anyway

[sick grotto]

okay nice

[robust ridge]

there's a whitelist of terms that don't need spoilers in the pins

[fossil flicker]

|| I just need 1 more ore, I found one at the top of the crystal caverns like way up top but haven't been able to find another ||

[zealous bear]

Ok

[robust ridge]

||you need 2 ores for the 3rd upgrade||

[zealous bear]

You're not sigma. Just put the fries in the bag

[fossil flicker]

|| ik I said I have 1 and I need another one lol ||

[robust ridge]

oh i thought you meant you had one you already used

[robust ridge]

no way this worked

[fossil flicker]

Nah I have one in stock just need 1 more

[zealous bear]

You gotta talk to them in a way they understand

[shrewd basin]

That's smart

[robust ridge]

i figured it was a troll and not an actual kid

[fossil flicker]

Ill figure it out just need to not get tilted so quick

[small laurel]

This is very op dayum
I remembered about ||dream warriors|| and fought 3 so far to get ||900 essence|| for this thing

[tough coral]

does anyone have any tips for ||absrad|| i dont really struggle with anyone in ||p5|| but cant consistently beat || absrad ||

[small laurel]

Have not retried || dream lost kin or failed champ || yet but tomorrow 🙏

[robust ridge]

one great use for it is to ||place a tp point when you think a boss is coming up so you don't have to walk all the way back from your bench if you die||

[small laurel]

Indeed
I ||placed one at the seer's entrance to try it out|| was fun

[jolly bobcat]

||What charms should I use till I can get another charm notch?||

[robust ridge]

here's a good collection of tips #hk-help message

[small laurel]

Long delay though
Which makes sense

[tough coral]

oh dang ill check that out thanks

[snow steppe]

||soul catcher/long nail||

[robust ridge]

for what? exploration?

[snow steppe]

added to the ones you have on

[robust ridge]

i'd say just ||compass + gathering swarm + shaman stone + grubsong/steady body for exploration, and shaman stone + either quick focus or steady body/grubsong and spell twister for combat||

||soul catcher substitutes for spell twister||

in fact it would probably be better for you at the moment

[snow steppe]

||gathering swarm||? 😭

[robust ridge]

yeah for exploration

[zealous bear]

No way

[robust ridge]

convenient

plus you only really need ||shaman stone|| to deal with all the enemies while exploring anyways

[shrewd basin]

I never put it on

It just seems a waste of a ||notch|| it just does something I can easily do myself and more efficiently

[robust ridge]

thought you were talking about ||shaman|| for a second and got real confused

but actually you're pretty right

i'm just used to using it on replays to go faster

[shrewd basin]

No I love ||shaman||

[summer sedge]

Hi guys, I never played hk and was thinking of giving it a shot. However I was wondering if the game is A worth playing and B is it playable with keyboard / mouse? Thanks in advance!

[robust ridge]

B: yeah

A: I don't really know what you're expecting from asking in a hollow knight server, but yes. It's quite a good game and honestly the only issue I really have is that the early game can be a bit boring. Maybe you should get some more input though.

i think it's 50% off rn

[summer sedge]

okay thanks! Cause I was a bit confused cause most people said that playing with a controller is way better

[shrewd basin]

50% off on steam rn so it's very cheap

[summer sedge]

Yeah exactly that's why I was wondering

[deft glade]

Only $15, so not a big loss if you don't like it 🤷

[shrewd basin]

And it has so much content definitely worth the purchase

[zealous bear]

7.5

[summer sedge]

eh sure why not ill give it a shot

[shrewd basin]

Silksongs coming out next week and I've been seeing so many people get on the hollow knight train to get ready for the sequel

[robust ridge]

I'd actually argue that keyboard/mouse is better because it offers a bit more precision

Also, controller has some weird default controls which make it hard to use some abilities you get

[fervent osprey]

What do I need to do to finish ||White Palace||? I still feel doubt cloud my mind when I'm here

Yeah, I'm stuck in the same spot I was in a couple years ago, shut it

[summer sedge]

Should I just not go for silksong then? I mean second games are mostly better right?

[sleek flax]

omg this game sucks

[warm meteor]

||which 2 enemies am i missing?||

[deft glade]

Even better of a reason to play

[robust ridge]

just get an ||infinite healing build|| and keep trying until you win, not much to it

[shrewd basin]

Id say hollow knight is definitely worth playing I've sunk over 600 hours into it and it's very cheap especially with it being on sale so I'd say if you can get both

[summer sedge]

eh fair enough

I mean 7 dollars ain't gonna make me broke

[zealous bear]

I've bought hk twice

[summer sedge]

Is the price for silksong already out?

[robust ridge]

||garpede and void tendrils (funny enough my first guess was that it would be these 2 and it ended up being true)||

[shrewd basin]

Nope

We don't know yet

[summer sedge]

bet

[warm meteor]

ty 🙏

it's going to be HELL

trying to get like 20 kills on every enemy

uh

[deft glade]

Nope, but expecting it to be $30

[shut sparrow]

read the message. First sentence

[desert heart]

Hmm I havent reached that area yet

[warm meteor]

oh

[shut sparrow]

you can still ping Mods but since they stopped it's unnecessary

[coarse nest]

Broski my friend get more charms

You can explore from ||crystal peaks, look around in crossroads for things to do, do some shopping, etc||

If he does it again we should

[shut sparrow]

they stopped already

[zealous bear]

It was my aura

[warm meteor]

||i think we need to see ur WHOLE bestiery not just 1 ss||

[coarse nest]

Check using the save analyser website, it's easiest way

Although it's probably ||goam or garpede or charged lumafly or something||

[robust ridge]

they've done it twice already

[shut sparrow]

One of these:
Commonly missed enemies by zenonira
||• Goam
• Mossy Vagabond
• Aluba
• Charged Lumafly
• Gorgeous Husk
• Crystal Crawler
• Garpede
• Pale Lurker
• Flukemunga

[shut sparrow]

you said you've just reached it. If you don't know at all which parts give you trouble in particular it means you haven't been trying for long enough to figure it out. Don't expect people helping you to put in more effort that you are

[thick wing]

Nah like

I reached her 20 mins ago

I js get caught off guard and spammed to death

[warm meteor]

oh i hate these ||hunter|| achievements they are driving me crazy

[thick wing]

I js needed help figuring out how to dodge the attacks

[shut sparrow]

try paying attention and analyzing your gameplay. Look at a hit you took and try to figure out what went wrong. If you want you can also send a video of an attempt

[thick wing]

On switch, maybe I can try filming it from my phone

But I'd guess it's js me sucking ass at the game

[shut sparrow]

you can record 30 second snippets 🦖

[thick wing]

Nope

[fossil flicker]

|| about to get home from work wish me luck with Hornet part 2 😭 ready for my face to get smashed in ||

[sleek flax]

? you can?

[thick wing]

Apparently developers need to add that into the game, it's not a switch thing

[shut sparrow]

no it's normal to not be good at such a difficult boss after 20 minutes

[shut sparrow]

oh yeah i forgot hk was like that

[sleek flax]

oh you cant

crazy

[thick wing]

I did first phase hitless and got my ass handed to me first phase every other attempt lmao

[thick wing]

Frfr

[shut sparrow]

I have played on switch for a while as well

[zealous bear]

Same

[shut sparrow]

sometimes you get lucky

[shut sparrow]

horrible experience. Can't recommend

tho my switch is broken so eh

[thick wing]

I mean it looks nice on switch

Only thing is sometimes you get some insanely bad input lag

[sleek flax]

i play it on switch

Anyone have some tips for ||Grey prince zote?||

[thick wing]

Oh boy

[raven oar]

Mostly the ||final few times you fight him||

[raven oar]

Oh bou

Boy

[zealous bear]

Why

I have like 600h on hollow knight on switch

I bought the game twice infact like a real sigma

[raven oar]

||charms for the most part||

[shut sparrow]

same

[paper atlas]

Bro how tf am i supposed to beat || traiter lord ||

[raven oar]

Wdym?

[paper atlas]

|| he doesn't even let me heal man with quick focus ||

[raven oar]

What ||charms are you using?||

[sleek flax]

|| is there a point to keeping wanderers journals or are they only for money ||

[paper atlas]

These

[raven oar]

Just that

[robust ridge]

giving up on healing is probably the easiest way

[shut sparrow]

||use dark to dodge his explosive zotes. Whenever he falls through the ground and then comes from above just stand still and ddark to dodge it. You even have time to get the soul back right after.
Don't jump or dash around unnecessarily. He'll usually come to you anyway. Get rid of the zotelings as quickly as possible||

[sleek flax]

only money? cool

[raven oar]

Im gonna hold ur hand

[raven oar]

Pretty bad tbh

[paper atlas]

|| so I gotta no hit him? ||

[robust ridge]

||no? you have more than 2 hp||

||healing in the fight is almost certainly going to be too risky for the reward||

[paper atlas]

|| the problem is I take a hit.... I try to heal .... I take a hit again..... I panic.... I try to heal... I take a hit and die ||

[robust ridge]

yes, that's why you should ditch healing on this fight

it causes things like that

[raven oar]

Do not worry about healing tbh

Just focus on damage

[robust ridge]

||the boss does 2 damage, so healing once and getting hit is a net loss of hp||

[shut sparrow]

||I'd use shaman, sbody, catcher, stalwart/longnail, sprintmaster. But you might wanna get some better ones first||

[raven oar]

If you have it, ||DDark to dodge||

||or shade cloak||

you need that to reach the fight

Oh yeah-

read the text

[paper atlas]

Yeah someone earlier also told me to get some good relics charms i mean

[raven oar]

Ohh my bad

[paper atlas]

Idk about former one

[shut sparrow]

||you can suggest something like ddark but you need to first make sure they have it without spoiling them for example by asking to see their inventory||

[raven oar]

Ohhh

[robust ridge]

||focus on staying close to the boss

when he backs up and leans over, he's going to do a lunge forwards, dash through him when he does

if he jumps and you're close to him, he'll just go over your head

dash through the giant shockwaves||

[raven oar]

Alright sorry

[paper atlas]

I really don't mind being spoiled about items. Story maybe but items are fine

[raven oar]

Anyone got some ||charms for GPZ by the way?||

[robust ridge]

(sending the charms screen is probably the easiest way_

oh alr

[paper atlas]

I get the first phase easily when he starts to || stomp ground and unleash waves is where I stuck. I think he is about to strike me with leak so I dodge early then my shadow cloak gets cd and I cant dodge the wave ||

[raven oar]

||all notches too?||

Yep

[robust ridge]

try to stay calm and be patient with the ||shadow dash||

[robust ridge]

||shaman, quick slash, strength, steady body, and uhh... grubsong I guess? maybe dream wielder? nail arts don't do much against zote||

|| how do I know he is about unleash wave or strike me with dash ||

[raven oar]

Alright cool, ty ^^

[shut sparrow]

remember to use many|| spells||

[robust ridge]

||he leans over and holds his claws behind him when he's going to dash||

[raven oar]

I use ||DDark a lot to dodge||

[paper atlas]

|| iirc there are two dashes. One takes a bit charge type animation and other one is pretty fast am I right? ||

[shut sparrow]

||that's good. If you have the soul also throw in an occasional shade soul or aggressive ddark||

[raven oar]

Yur

[west coral]

||Any tips for soul warrior?||

[robust ridge]

||shade soul is great for taking out zotelings||

|| Oh idk but I cant differentiate between his two dash so I just panic dodge when I get my cloak ready and weirdly it works XD ||

[paper atlas]

Ig I will try the unhealthy way when I will get really really frustrated . Which isnt pretty far tbh || man I miss boss like hornet they are soo good ||

[coarse nest]

Try to remain calm, panic will lead to your demise

--Person who panicked a lot in that fight XD

[paper atlas]

And tim I will check out that charm u were talking abt soon . I just forgot about it 🥲

[desert heart]

Do i really need to go all the way around?

[robust ridge]

yep

[desert heart]

bruh

[manic mulch]

Thanks

[thick wing]

|| why is first pantheon not starting for me ||

||im in god home||

door is just locked

[shut sparrow]

please use spoiler tags in this channel || like this ||

[shut sparrow]

what exactly do you see when you walk up to a door?

[empty shard]

rip it wont hide the image

[desert heart]

|| How do i even use wanderers journal?||

[shut sparrow]

||do you remember ever seeing any of these faces?||

[thick wing]

yes

[shut sparrow]

one of them seems to be greyed out right?

Seems like that one is still missing then

[thick wing]

which one

and wdym missing

[empty shard]

||Not my footage but is there a trick to getting this jump in the path of pain? I've been trying for like an hour.||

[shut sparrow]

||each one of these faces represents a boss you have fought. The one in the bottom left is darker though. That means you haven't fought that one yet. It's in greenpath||

[thick wing]

||but she ded||

[shut sparrow]

who is "she"?

[thick wing]

||the one that helps u kill the boss in queen garrden but dies idk her name||

[shut sparrow]

||not really a trick, no. While pogoing that saw, drop down, dash left and use wings as quickly as possible. In order for wings to work you can't dash too low.
I don't think there is any particular "strat" for it||

[shut sparrow]

||what about them? The boss at the pantheon's door has nothing to do with them||

[desert heart]

?

[empty shard]

That sucks, thank you though

[thick wing]

you mean that one right?

[minor anchor]

||Drop down and then dash left and use your wings||

[shut sparrow]

yes

[desert heart]

|| How do i get double jump bruh||

[thick wing]

oh do yk the boss name so i can search him up

[minor anchor]

Keep exploring

[shut sparrow]

||you'll find a something to do with it later. It's not really "useful" like other items are. But it's helpful. You'll see once you find out what you can do with it||

[desert heart]

ok

thanks

just running around in circles atp 💀

[shut sparrow]

why look stuff up
try exploring on your own!
||his name is massive moss charger||

[shut sparrow]

do you wanna know a direction to head in?

[desert heart]

that would be great yes

[shut sparrow]

can you send an image of your inventory and map?

[desert heart]

I just made a whole circle around ||fungal waste just to open a lever ||

i was looking for charms, found 1 ig

[shut sparrow]

||for charms check out bottom right of crossroads||

[livid canopy]

how do i do the ||third pantheon||? i always die on ||zote|| and i dont know how to dodge any of his attacks

[shut sparrow]

practice the fight in ||the hall of gods||

[desert heart]

okok

[robust ridge]

btw grubsenf this is random but do you know if it's possible to ||heal on marmu||

[shut sparrow]

it is

it's possible charmless for any boss

[desert heart]

and what direction to go just for gameplay wise?

[robust ridge]

i figured out every other boss just not ||marmu||, is it just ||when she pauses for a bit?||

[livid canopy]

my problem is that i cant find a time to heal

[shut sparrow]

||I told you before iirc but I think you misunderstood me. In the waterways you can see the small purple part on the right. That's a broken elevator shaft. If you go in there (either from city or by cancelling the crystal dash when coming from waterways through) you'll be able to go down and left to enter a new area||

[shut sparrow]

yeah but it's tricky. I haven't looked into it myself but I know it's possible.

[clear grove]

there's ||167 total entries right||

[desert heart]

|| steady body worth buying ? ||

[shut sparrow]

I think you can technically heal on ||both his zoteling attacks but I wouldn't risk it. Just heal twice on staggers||

[shut sparrow]

168

[desert heart]

yeah u told me but i was lowk confused lol, ill look again thanks

[robust ridge]

i figured it'd be possible but you'd just need absurdly fast reactions/luck

[clear grove]

bro what is the extra one

[shut sparrow]

yes. Especially late game paired with other charms it's great

[desert heart]

or do i just buy an extra notch

okay ty

[clear grove]

||ik abt shade idol rhe mask and the path of pain one||

||menderbug too||

[shut sparrow]

||hunters mark potentially||

[clear grove]

I can't find the definitive 168th one tho

that too

[shut sparrow]

||nkg||

[robust ridge]

also you forgot spoilers btw

[shut sparrow]

you can't get that when ||banishing|| him

[clear grove]

I did the fight

[shut sparrow]

well if it's luck based it wouldn't be consistent. Depending on what you mean by luck at least

[desert heart]

isnt ||defenders crest|| pretty much useless

[shut sparrow]

||in godhome or in Dirtmouth?||

[desert heart]

same for || spore mushroom ||

[shut sparrow]

mostly

[desert heart]

alr

[clear grove]

the legit one

[shut sparrow]

||it's pretty broken in speedruns but other than that mostly yes||

[shut sparrow]

||hm well idk you can look at the wiki||

[clear grove]

wiki doesn't give the full journal tho or does it?

[shut sparrow]

it should

[desert heart]

does this one have a name? just gonna go on yt to find it instantly tbh

[robust ridge]

it does

[clear grove]

can one of u guys send the link pls

[shut sparrow]

don't do that

[clear grove]

I swear I looked and couldn't get the full list

[shut sparrow]

what are you trying to achieve this way? I told you exactly how to get there already. It's not very complicated

[minor anchor]

Playing this game pretty much blind is the best way to enjoy it . Later on towards endgame is when I would say look up certain stuff

[shut sparrow]

||https://hollowknight.wiki/w/Hunter's_Journal||

[clear grove]

I think i was mad blind

appreciate it bruzzington

[shut sparrow]

maybe you were on the fandom wiki

the evil one

[robust ridge]

or worse, fextralife

[desert heart]

|| Worth selling the bottom ones? ||

need all the money i can get

[vague tartan]

||watchu tryna buy||

[clear grove]

||Nah those r the most important things in the entire game||

[desert heart]

anything useful icl

[desert heart]

[minor anchor]

Save them until u really need the geo

[vague tartan]

||try and buy a mask shard from sly, maybe all of them for that extra hp||

[desert heart]

alr

[vague tartan]

||or save em until you need it||

[desert heart]

sounds good

[vague tartan]

||both good||

[supple forum]

are ||nail arts worth incorporating into your combat with like bosses?||

[desert heart]

|| This is the second time i see something like this, what can i do with it or is that later on ? ||

|| Does anyone know where the restplace is for the area full of spikes? I'd go and explore but Im 1 hp ||

[dense mica]

How do you do the spoiler thing rq?

[minor anchor]

Yes

[supple forum]

how so? like i would assume ||the cyclone one would be good when a boss is staggered, maybe the big slash/dash slash after dodging some of its attacks? are there any other major use cases other than those?||

[dense mica]

Guys I wanna help people

How do you use the spoiler tag

[supple forum]

use these || around your message you can copy it from this message

[dense mica]

Ty bro

[modest quest]

Example: || this ||

[minor anchor]

Yeah they’re all viable and situational for some bosses. You might use different ones in different situations depending on who you’re fighting. Definitely incorporate them when you feel it might be useful

[errant otter]

||Do all||

[dense mica]

||Kato you can do something with them ltr on I was confused too dw lol ||

[livid canopy]

how do i do this?

[dense mica]

Yay I did it

[shy reef]

is the default keyboard keybinds good

[dense mica]

This going up or down?

[desert heart]

Sounds good

[livid canopy]

down

[stoic cedar]

||cdash||

[livid canopy]

oh yeah i forgot i have that

[dense mica]

Yeah

[frail wedge]

|| i found deepnest and i died there and want my soul meter fixed, but i REALLY dont want to deal with the enemies there. what do i do? ||

[dense mica]

Lol

[supple forum]

depends on how comfortable you are with them i personally dont use them but you might find them comfortable

[livid canopy]

if you dont care about the geo you had you can die somewhere else and kill the new shade

[warm meteor]

||all enemy entries i have left are colo ones, right? (except the void tendrals & deepnest worm thingy)||

[supple forum]

||you can buy a simple key from sly and go to the right of dirtmouth||

[shy reef]

which ones do u use

[desert heart]

|| Where's the resting thing, I wont survive atp ||

[frail wedge]

ohhh

[livid canopy]

iirc you can get the ||worm entry||

[shut sparrow]

the closest bench is quite far away. You can find one by going all the way and left. Or you try making the jump up

[warm meteor]

||if you go left down & left again you can purchase a bench for geo||

but you will prob die on the way

[warm meteor]

quit & log back in so you get full hp

[desert heart]

its fine i died already ig

[dense mica]

He'll get sent back tho won't he?

[dense mica]

Aww unlucky

[warm meteor]

i think he's trying to get out of there anyway

if he dies without having any ||benches there||

or quits he spawns on the the last one he ||benched on||

[brazen surge]

When ||Pure Vessel|| does his ||void tendrils|| does that mean he's on the last phase of the fight?

[stoic cedar]

||void tendrils appear when pv is at 33% hp||

[night sinew]

||should I use quickslash for path of pain||

[crisp geode]

how do i get to the left side of where i am? my shade is stuck there because when i climb a little bit i can start hearing the music

[dense mica]

Yeah I guess

[supple forum]

||i dont see the need for it tbh hive blood and mark of pride were good enough for me i also used grubsong and prob smth else i forgot||

[night sinew]

thx

[warm meteor]

oops

forgot the spoiler

||which colo do i need to do for these enemies(the ones i didnt unlock yet)||

[fossil flicker]

Welp got home already died 5 times good start lol I did change my charms up ||using grub song, shamen stone, and quick focus. Hornet is just very hard to dodge for me I'll keep trying on a break rn so I dont get too angry with it ||

[shut sparrow]

3

[supple forum]

||im pretty sure the first 2 are in the 2nd and 3rd trials and the volt guy is from the third||

[violet hamlet]

||i've 112%'d the game, started the mr mushroom quest by reading the tablet with spore shroom equipped, went to his first 2 locations, then went to mato's house only to find that he's not there, i went back to the tablet assuming that going to the main menu might restart the quest but i havent been able to find him in his 2 previous locations and i cant find him, whats going on?||

[desert heart]

|| I couldnt get the bench because not enough geo so my map isnt updated, dont tell me i gotta do a whole detour again ||

[stoic cedar]

||the 3rd location is not at matos hut||

[hushed folio]

Do you not have an ability that allows you to further explore the left side? If no, then yeah it's a detour unfortunately

But if you haven't sat on a bench in that area, you can just quit to the menu and the game will reload you back to the last bench you sat on

[desert heart]

|| Don't think so, pretty much only got cdash wall climb and normal dash atp and the one that lets u go through poisonous water ig ||

[hushed folio]

||cdash through the spikes in the left||

[desert heart]

alr

[sly ridge]

hello ppl

[stoic cedar]

i think u misunderstood where they were. ||they already cdashed through the long cavern to the left side||

[hushed folio]

Oh

Yea i think you're right

[shut sparrow]

hello
