YESSS CONGRATS!!

[abstract smelt]

[abstract smelt]

FINNALY GOT THE ||cdash||

[serene flare]

How am I supposed to help you if you dont elaborate

[bleak badger]

nice

[velvet crypt]

Guys, is the nekomata skin bugged? In the game, it just dont work

[abstract smelt]

which button to use for it?

[native tinsel]

Go back and then up

[short kettle]

||You can beat the game and get one ending by getting the last dreamer and fighting the final boss. But the game will put you back on your last bench after. Then you can explore the rest of the game and aim for true ending + max completion if you want to. That will need you to explore all areas.

As for charms, I would suggest exploring Kingdom's edge and picking up Quick Slash. One of the strongest if not the strongest charm in the game, it will drastically increase your damage output.||

[bleak badger]

what are you playing on?

[serene flare]

how is that trapped? you can still go left and up a building

[echo magnet]

take a picture of the map?

[velvet crypt]

[bleak badger]

did you find it?

[lyric shadow]

i got a bug, when i called the elevator thingie the game went black and then i was on top, am i supposed to be here??

i fell

[echo magnet]

.

[upbeat river]

I THINK ||I have quick slash, could you name some I should be getting and I’ll see if I already have those or not?||

||also when you say it puts me at my last bench, if I saved at a bench before the final fight, it won’t reset me? I’m just scared I can’t fully complete the game since I wanna complete and do everything but the path of pain LMAOAOA||

[serene flare]

try restarting the game

[lyric shadow]

alr

so that isnt supposed to happend

[serene flare]

Well ofcourse not

[stuck geyser]

||i’m super confused i’m doing my first play through of hollow knight and im at the place where the pale king is like through all the parkour and when i hit him with my dream nail nothing happens||

[serene flare]

hit it multiple times

[bleak badger]

have you gotten to ||kingdoms edge|| yet?

[stuck geyser]

yea nvm

[lyric shadow]

i cant take damadge xD

[bright sleet]

Guys these thing are just for sale or there is another purpose for them?

[bleak badger]

you have to hit him normally

[stuck geyser]

yeah literally just did it 😭 dk why i didn’t think of that

[native tinsel]

What charm is that

[bleak badger]

regular nail hit

[lyric shadow]

just for sale

[bright sleet]

Ok thanks

[stuck geyser]

what does this other half of the item do for me

[lyric shadow]

just a bug

literally

[native tinsel]

Howwww

I wanna have it too

[serene flare]

charm of 404 not found

[lyric shadow]

lol

[upbeat river]

||I’ve got every area besides the hive the queens garden! But I don’t have maps for those 2 areas||

[bleak badger]

sidequest for you: get ||unbreakable strength|| and do ||Grimm troupe||

[stuck geyser]

for the true ending do i need to fight ||hollow knight with the dark king soul thing equipped?||

[bleak badger]

yes

[upbeat river]

||AH I’ve already started the Grimm troupe! I just have to fight Grimm! But I haven’t gotten unbreakable strength yet..||

[serene flare]

there are no true ending. Team cherry said so themself. All endings are true endings

[stuck geyser]

how do i get the dark version

[stuck geyser]

oh idk i saw someone call it true ending

[bleak badger]

||hornet will come hold him down then you can hit kill him or dream nail him to fight radiance||

[stuck geyser]

||dream nail prolly||

[upbeat river]

||wait could you explain this? Considering I’m close to having to fight hk, with only one dreamer left||

[bleak badger]

equip ||kingsoul|| then go to ||the abyss|| and then somewhere on the floor in the first room there's a breakable floor for you to fall down then js follow the path

ask wiki for exact place for the entrance

its called ||birthplace||

[clever forge]

how much doest it costs to ||upgrade my sword|| for the second time?

[lyric shadow]

first time?

[bleak badger]

depends on how many times you've upgraded

[short kettle]

||The game doesn't end when you defeat the final boss. It gives you the achievement and whatever, and puts you back on your last save as if you never defeated the final boss so you can resume your adventure right away. The game is never over, you can get all endings on just one save. Don't have to worry about completing the game and missing out on things here.

As for charms, Quick slash, spell twister, shaman stone, unbreakable strength, mark of pride, dream wielder, nail master's glory, Grubsong, soul eater. I would say the best builds in the game just use these charms so priotising them will help you out a lot. If you want a foolproof platforming setup too for unlimited soul during platforming, add Grubberfly's Elegy and Deep Focus to the list.||

[clever forge]

second

[stuck geyser]

||well for one of the endings you need to get this this called king soul one half in queens garden and the other half in pale king palace, you need max dream nail and once you get kingsoul you can turn it dark i don’t know how yet then that does an ending pretty sure||

[opaque folio]

I think I might have softlocked myself ||I got to nailmaster sheo and I can’t get out 😭||

[lyric shadow]

1k

[stuck geyser]

how

[neon pilot]

do you need to have ||kingsoul equiped to get voidheart||?

[lyric shadow]

2k mb @clever forge

[opaque folio]

It’s like partially skill issue but also ||my shade|| is camping the spot I need to get to so the jump basically not possible

[short kettle]

There is a shortcut for the way out, don't do the platforming challenge again.

[serene flare]

yes

[stuck geyser]

kill it

[upbeat river]

||perfect, I already have quick slash, spell twister, shaman stone, mark of pride, nail masters glory, grubsong! I can’t tell if I have soul eater and stuff, I’ll have to check! I also have deep focus as well||

||ALSO REALLY.. so what’s the point of defeating the hollow knight actually? What does it do?||

[opaque folio]

I’m using the ||shortcut||

[bleak badger]

yes, when you go into the place where it changes ||kingsoul to voidheart|| you need to have ||kingsoul|| equipped

[unreal cove]

||so i've beaten the final boss, or at least i think it was, is there an act 3? and are there multiple endings? i just want yes or no||

[bleak badger]

#sk-help

[unreal cove]

o

[serene flare]

If you defeat it you can still play the game. You just got yourself the ending for the first scenario

[unreal cove]

i keep fucking mistaking the channels

[bleak badger]

lol

[serene flare]

use the channel and roles to disable hk

[unreal cove]

good idea

[upbeat river]

I see.. what else should I be doing before that battle?

[short kettle]

||Its an ending, conclusion to the story. It just puts you back so you can see all possible conclusions to the story without having to replay the game each time.||

[upbeat river]

THANK GOD TBH it’s better that way honestly so that you can get ||multiple endings in the same save,|| I love that detail :3

[serene flare]

nothing really, if you want to defeat it. You can at anytime. After that you can continue explore

[opaque folio]

Is this even possible?? ||I have the slam attacks, the fly and the dash||

[bleak badger]

patience, my friend, patience

[opaque folio]

I am lacking, I’ve died 10 times already 😭

[drifting tulip]

Pogo

[serene flare]

use the downward strike or pogo as some people said to the back of the flying things

[opaque folio]

I am, that’s how I got there 😭

[bleak badger]

ajajaj

[short kettle]

You don't get out that way, buddy. Just ||climb the wall|| from where you enter this room.

[drifting tulip]

Pogo better

[bleak badger]

git gud

[opaque folio]

Oh my god

I’m blind

[short kettle]

They already did the sequence, they are trying to get out.

[unkempt gyro]

Best set up for ||second hornet||?

[fluid mulch]

||shaman, quickslash, grubsong might work||

[serene flare]

be like water my friend ~ bruce lee

[bleak badger]

Definitely not my first choice

[unkempt gyro]

I mean i want new one

[abstract smelt]

after getting ||CdaSH||what do I do?

[upbeat river]

what is a good build for ||second hornet? I totally forgot about them so I gotta go fight them||

[bleak badger]

ah ok

I can help

[abstract smelt]

new place or smth to be done there?

[short kettle]

||Shaman, QSlash, Grubsong.||

[unkempt gyro]

Thats is nice set up but its mainly for traveling lol

[bleak badger]

well theres your answer ig

[serene flare]

just look at the map where there is long coridor with traps

[unkempt gyro]

I did some boss fights with it tho

[abstract smelt]

k

[serene flare]

mkay

[unkempt gyro]

Alr

[lyric shadow]

yoooooo, the last one

[desert heart]

|| so i unlocked all white aliens or whatever should i instantly go to black egg or do i delay that? ||

[unkempt gyro]

Spoiler tag bro,Spoiler tag

[bleak badger]

do you like exploring?

[lyric shadow]

i did wdym

[unkempt gyro]

I didn't click it

[desert heart]

ofc, pretty sure i got all area's so far || except killing dream bosses, trial of fools colloseum 3, and some minor stuff ||

[upbeat river]

it glitches, a lot of people tell me to spoil my images too even if it’s already spoiled

[unkempt gyro]

Oh well

Sorry then

[serene flare]

it was a bug on discord mobile he did the spoiler tag

[lyric shadow]

look

[desert heart]

planning to do these too but i was wondering if i should go to ||black egg first or what ||

[unkempt gyro]

Didn't know discord glitches like dat

[bleak badger]

I would say do the last ||colo|| if you want to and then do then fo the ||normal ending|| the its time for ||path of pain >:)||

[lyric shadow]

after i finish the game can i continue playing like minecraft 😭

[desert heart]

||so if i do normal ending i can just keep playing and Unlocking the other endings will happen naturally as I play or? ||

|| also no path of pain please :) ||

[quick onyx]

||do i have to walk back to the broken vessen every time i die or is there some sort of shortcut||

[serene flare]

I mean, there are ||multiple endings|| so you cant never finish it

[thick wing]

Walk

[bleak badger]

yep!

[desert heart]

sounds good ty

[lyric shadow]

tf does that mean

[tight timber]

alr fam I'm back at it again todat. I wonder how much longer this game could be?

[bleak badger]

||you need path of pain for the other endings ;)||

[upbeat river]

I still need to do both ||colos (2 and 3)|| defeat ||dream bosses (unless I can do that after the hk fight)|| and I’m not sure what other minor stuff I gotta do besides exploring the ||abyss, hive and queens garden ||

[thick wing]

Where you up to

[serene flare]

I mean it took a very long time LOL

[dusk kraken]

I'm stuck in ||City of Tears||. All the doors are locked. 2 elevators and the door at the end of the road are locked. What can I do? I can't go back.

[lyric shadow]

tf does that mean too, what took a long time??

[hoary holly]

bruh
i got to ||NKG|| first try on ||p5||
literally right next to the last rest stop

[serene flare]

nevermind that LOL

[timid peak]

can anyone help me through the ||deepnest|| of ||failed tramway|| i can stream it for you

[upbeat river]

||WAIT WHAT really?? wait what ending is it? I don’t wanna do that shit I rather look up the ending for that specific part I SUCK at parkour||

[lyric shadow]

can u answer as stupidly as you can cause im pretty stupid

[tight timber]

||I just finished absorbing the 3 Dreamers. I also mayyy have accidentally unleashed the plague on Forgotten Crossroads, hoping that doesnt affect any of the endings... I've also defeated a few of the Dream bosses.||

[bleak badger]

from what I can tell ur kinda a completionist, so maybe do ||the colos, regular ending and then finish exploring and true ending||

[timid peak]

can someone help me through the ||deepnest|| in ||failed tramway||?

[thick wing]

||It doesnt dw its a canonical event activated by simply exploring and is mandatory to the plot! all endings have the infection spreading occuring|| ||and nice 3 dreamers means youre in late game||

[dusk kraken]

I'm stuck in ||City of Tears||. All the doors are locked. 2 elevators and the door at the end of the road are locked. What can I do? I can't go back.

[upbeat river]

HELP YEAH im trying to do as much as i can before silksong but. ||I really don’t wanna do path of pain…. I don’t think I’m strong enough even with a controller now..||

OH RIGHT ||what is the pantheon and how do I get to it?||

[serene flare]

||there are multiple endings to the game based on what you have in your inventory, what you do and what you reveal in the story as you explore||

[bleak badger]

honestly fair enough lmao, if you don't want to you don't have to. ||im sure there's a mod to make path of pain easier tho if you still wanna do radiance||

[upbeat river]

||what does defeating dream bosses even do? I’ve yet to beat any yet||

[thick wing]

||pantheon is the dlc and they're mega hard boss fights. dont recommend till you 100% the game or close||

[bleak badger]

no fucking clue I'm gonna be so fr

[bleak badger]

they give you ||essence which is needed for true ending||

[tight timber]

Oh, awesome! I definitely thought ||it was my fault, since the large beetle knight knocked open a wall that led to a heavily plague infested area, and then right after that the crossroads became infected.||

[upbeat river]

||what’s radiance actually? I don’t think I’ve heard of it||

[tight timber]

||They unlock the door to the Black Egg||

[thick wing]

Yeah dw! ||It happens in all ending routes no matter what. I was also confused when it happened to me first time xD||

[magic gazelle]

how can i unlock maps for new areas? i only have the first map and i just got to the second area

[serene flare]

||pantheon is only all the boss you have defeated but now you fight them back to back with the same hp, you can found the entrance in the royal waterways to the left called the junkpit||

[bleak badger]

its the final boss

[short kettle]

||You won't be missing out on anything except a lot of skill development for the platforming in Silksong. Path Of Pain is painful but it will make platforming trivial because your understanding of movement will become so good.||

[dusk kraken]

I'm stuck in ||City of Tears||. All the doors are locked. 2 elevators and the door at the end of the road are locked. What can I do? I can't go back.

[upbeat river]

||OH SORRY not the dreamers, the dream bosses! Like the ones that need the dream nail, but someone explained!||

[clever forge]

how much hits does the ||soul master|| have?

[bleak badger]

||basically, its what's infecting everything and what you and the hollow knight were made to seal||

[tight timber]

||Is THAT how this works?? I have to keep showing my Dream Nail to that person?||

[clever forge]

like how much it takes to die

[primal wolf]

||I just got the mantis claw and left the village what should I do now||

[tight timber]

Most bosses take like 20+ hits in my experience

[bleak badger]

after you get ||1800 essence you can get into the pale palace||

[thick wing]

Yes ||usually enemies that give you lots of essence require a boss fight||

[upbeat river]

I see… ||I’ve seen some of the shit in ss and im dreading it||

[serene flare]

again…. there are no true ending

[dusk kraken]

||I'm stuck in City of Tears. All the doors are locked. 2 elevators and the door at the end of the road are locked. What can I do? I can't go back.||

[upbeat river]

so I have to do ||path of pain|| for it correct?

[tight timber]

Oh! I already ||have 1905 Essence.||

[thick wing]

No

[serene flare]

no

[serene flare]

go up a building to the left

[upbeat river]

OH awesome thank god

[thick wing]

xD

[bleak badger]

yerp

[thick wing]

you still have to do ||some very very hard parkour for it though. it isn't PoP but super longwinded||

[bleak badger]

if you want ill give you a full rundown in dms

[thick wing]

No you dont

[lyric shadow]

now i have ||the black eggs or white eggs|| and after a beat the game can i still play or will i have to start a new save file, thats what im asking

[minor anchor]

No u don’t have to

[bleak badger]

what are you talking about

[magic gazelle]

how can i unlock maps for new areas? i only have the first map and i just got to the second area. I have the quill, and sat on a bench, but map didnt update

[bleak badger]

||if you want to kill the radiance then you need vovidheart||

[serene flare]

you will always able to continue with the same save file

[thick wing]

you dont need to ||do PoP to fight radiance||

[bleak badger]

don't say something when you don't know the context.

[short kettle]

I would go for this checklist to do things in order->

||Kill dreamers and beat final boss.||

||Aim for true ending by defeating dream warriors and bosses. Get 1800 essence to access white palace and compete it (excluding path of pain), complete Queen's Gardens and get the item for true ending.||

||Get ending 2 and 3 (3rd is the "true" ending)||

||complete the grimm troupe dlc||

||Go to godhome and do Pantheons, Pantheon 5 has two more ending but is incredibly hard. Arguably harder than PoP, so its up to you whether you wanna do it or not. I'd say upto Pantheon 4 is already nearly complete hollow knight experience.||

[upbeat river]

YES PLEASE!

[lyric shadow]

shiiii lets goo

[thick wing]

?? ||you dont do PoP for voidheart||

[dusk kraken]

|| ı don't have city crest||

[bleak badger]

to unlock ||voidheart|| you need ||kingsoul|| which you need to gog to then pale palace for

[upbeat river]

oh ur an angel.. checklists are what keep me going HELP THATS why im always here because games that dont give me a specific idea of what i should be doing i wont do it (Elden ring was difficult….)

[bleak badger]

??? am I tweaking

[minor anchor]

You don’t have to do it to get it

You are

[bleak badger]

I think im tweaking

[thick wing]

No. that is a different ||parkour . it isn't PoP. I understand the confusion because its also super hard. PoP is opțional entirely no endings locked behind it||

I wish it was because I dont wanna do ||PoP|| xD

[bleak badger]

||ahhh, okay. I thought path of pain was the parkour for kingsoul sob||

[serene flare]

bruh, ||PoP|| Isnt even revealed on the path unless you open it yourself

[lyric shadow]

can u upgrade ur nail after ||pure nail??||

[thick wing]

When i completed it i also thought it was. but sadly not. its ANOTHER thing

[short kettle]

Totally get you. You can always ask for stuff in DMs too if you want more specific guidance, happy to provide checklists.

[void wind]

what the fuck do u mean, why would i spoiler in a lore channel

[upbeat river]

thank you so much!! :3 I really appreciate it, I wanna complete hollow knight as much as I can before finally moving onto silksong

[short kettle]

This is not a lore channel

[void wind]

oh shit

[bleak badger]

so sorry about that

[void wind]

sorry

[jovial thunder]

very smurt

[serene flare]

the ||city crest|| were only used at the gate. I forgot how but there is an entry to the building. Just explore from the left

[jovial thunder]

Follow up question to one i asked a while ago, where the f did she go? ||She took 4k D:||

[upbeat river]

oh my god

[minor anchor]

Get scammed

[timid peak]

hit the cardboard a bit of times

[gritty igloo]

Lol that's sad

[lost phoenix]

Wait does that actually happen

[upbeat river]

JESUS how do you have so much geo?

[thick wing]

||City of tears pleasure house. u can get ur money back 1.5x dw||

[serene flare]

||city of tears||

[timid peak]

i think he had more

[lost phoenix]

This is a bug right

[upbeat river]

YEAH in total ohhh i feel so guilty for him LMFAOAO

[jovial thunder]

By being a completionist.

[short kettle]

Its totally normal to have a lot by the end really. I have 35K on my final save file.

[timid peak]

btw can someone help me to resting groundz

[gritty igloo]

Every npc is a bug

[serene flare]

no

[upbeat river]

MY GOD???

[thick wing]

No

[lost phoenix]

Wha

[quiet rivet]

so i just ended up looking up how to access ||godhome|| after looking for it for a while, was there any ingame clue as to where it is that i missed? anything that points to it just being in some ||random area in the waterways||

[upbeat river]

how do you guys not. lose it all…. I always get scared carrying a lot of geo because I always die LMFAOAO

[lost phoenix]

So she up and takes your geo at some point

[thick wing]

||junkyard||

ye

[timid peak]

oh also guys

[tender jackal]

me too

[quiet rivet]

||i know where it is now obviously, but was there any clue elsewhere in the game to godhomes location that i didnt notice||

[tender jackal]

||there is a bank tho ||

[timid peak]

to the guy that got scammed

[short kettle]

It was a dlc addition so not really, it was meant to be looked up.

[jovial thunder]

Wait what? ||Hornet|| warrants a spoiler tag?

[tender jackal]

there is a limit till that

[lyric shadow]

||im stuck on the fucking tent in deepnest, help :(||

[minor anchor]

Yes

[timid peak]

the bug is ||somewhere..||

[lost phoenix]

I don’t know what that is so yes

[timid peak]

there is?

[tender jackal]

.

[serene flare]

||there is breakable walls on the left mid of the royal waterways, its very small you should smack every wall on the most mid left on there||

[quiet rivet]

thats a shame i guess, the same is true for the ||grimm troupe, i just managed to find them by pure chance||

[timid peak]

||hornet|| is a boss

[tender jackal]

||she scams at 3000 i guess but you can get all money back||

[jovial thunder]

My response was: I follow the wise words of ||hornet||

[lyric shadow]

ur name XDD

[tender jackal]

.

[jovial thunder]

Is it also a spoiler that silksong exists?

[quiet rivet]

@serene flare

[lost phoenix]

Yes

[pallid crane]

any tips on ||6+ gray prince zot?|| build tips will do too

[short kettle]

That's a good build, doesn't get much better. Especially not with the charms you have rn.

[magic gazelle]

how can i unlock maps for new areas? i only have the first map and i just got to the second area. I have the quill, and sat on a bench, but map didnt update

[timid peak]

oh

[tender jackal]

||are ml worth it ? maybe i should get the twister||

[timid peak]

i think you gotta equip it as a charm idk i never had it

[torpid wadi]

Find the NPC again

[quiet rivet]

also i noticed an ||odd saving icon|| when i entered ||trial of the fool||, it was ||yellow in a rectangle shape||, it only appeared once and never again

[tender jackal]

||i also have to farm 1800 for a lantern and go to dn||

[short kettle]

You'll need to find the map guy in each area. ||Watch for scattered maps on the ground, they lead to him. Also listen for his humming.||

[serene flare]

you need to buy the map from the map guy. In each map he sits at different location

[timid peak]

can someone help me find ||resting grounds||

[magic gazelle]

thank you guys

[serene flare]

you can tell by the sounds that he makes

[short kettle]

ML?

[tender jackal]

||lords||

||mantis||

[quick onyx]

||do you need to beat the lost kin or is it optional||

[thick wing]

No

[short kettle]

Ah. ||Twister is an amazing charm, and arguably a better alternative to Souk Catcher, so yes. I would recommend it.||

[tight timber]

I have asked this before and gotten an answer, but since the question may be somewhat subjective I am asking again: ||I really want to try for the True Ending, despite this being my first playthrough. Is it very obvious what I have to do for this? And also is it super difficult? I have found that I am kind of not so good at the combat in this game...||

[serene flare]

yes you get a charm and a few geo. Also a gate open to the ||deepnest|| from the ml

[thick wing]

Explore EVERYTHING is the most non spoiler advice I can give

[timid peak]

i found an elevator that was closed before

[tender jackal]

they feel very fast, i get hit until i jump enough

[short kettle]

Its not super difficult, no. Its very challenging but won't be unfairly hard.

And no, its not very obvious.

[quiet rivet]

||my recommendation is to go for the normal ending first, and then true after, but in my opinion getting the true ending without help, going in blind is quite possible, i did it myself, you do really have to pay attention to clues and make your own inferences to advance, and as the other person said, explore as much as possible||

[timid peak]

oh

[thick wing]

spoiler tag

[serene flare]

there are two kind of jump, short jump and long jump by pressing the jump button longer. Try use the pogo to help your player up a notch

[dusk kraken]

||There is nothing on the left side except the blacksmith||

[thick wing]

spoiler tag

[lyric shadow]

me is scared

[thick wing]

spoiler tag

bro tag everything

[tender jackal]

good luck

[upbeat river]

where is this? I’m curious

[serene flare]

Search one by one room from the left is what I meant

[thick wing]

spoiler tag everything please

[tight timber]

OK because ||the answer I got from someone else on here was "I think it's pretty obvious" which tells me that was just their opinion. Also, again I have really REALLY struggled with the combat in this game sometimes, so I'm kind of scared of this.||

[fluid mulch]

||crossroads||

[upbeat river]

YEAH but where what is that place you can enter into? I don’t remember seeing it

[dusk kraken]

all are locked

[fluid mulch]

||true ending fight is hard||

[lyric shadow]

the black balls place 😭 idk what its caled excuse my language

[dusk kraken]

all are locked

[thick wing]

<@&283547423706447872> would you mind deleting a whole bunch of unspoilered stuff?

[fluid mulch]

||down the well, one room right, black egg temple. might unlock later for you||

[tight timber]

😭

[serene flare]

[thick wing]

[plain kettle]

[lyric shadow]

any hidden rooms in ||The Teacher's Archives||?

[thick wing]

nah

[short kettle]

||To get the true ending, there are only two additional boss fights besides your usual. One of them is challenging but not as hard as the other one. The latter will take a good few hours of practice, but you'll do good. It's a very fun and grand fight.||

[plain kettle]

@drifting tulip if you are in the help channels please use spoiler tags!!!

[ruby hull]

bruh

[short kettle]

No

[drifting tulip]

Oki sorry I forget

[lyric shadow]

bruh

he said fucking spoil

[serene flare]

there is hidden room but outside ||teachers archives||

[ruby hull]

I know that one

ty tho

[serene flare]

mkay

[upbeat river]

I’m curious ||not that I’m trying to side with anyone but how come we have to spoil the crossroads even if it’s the first area? I obviously don’t mind spoiling stuff but I’m curious why it has to be censored||

[ruby hull]

where was that guy from

your pfp

[serene flare]

its the rule, someone can just start the game and enter the chat

[plain kettle]

it's not the first area ackshually

[upbeat river]

understood :3 no yeah, I appreciate all of you guys spoiling the stuff so we new players don’t get spoiled

[short kettle]

Metroidvania is all about discovering things so someone inquiring about something even before reaching said area might not want to know the name of it beforehand.

[tight timber]

omgggg

this is what im talking about bro 😭

[ruby hull]

maybe ask in #hk-lore , I think I even did some time ago but forgor

[ruby hull]

Metroidvania or Hollow Knight

[flat crescent]

Where do i get ||crystal dash||

[short kettle]

Metroidvania is a genre.

[serene flare]

metroidvania is a genre

[fluid mulch]

||crystal peaks||

[ruby hull]

I feel like some metroidvanias aren't that big of a hype

idk

[short kettle]

Hollow Knight is a metroidvania.

[ruby hull]

I know that

[flat crescent]

Do i have to backtrack since im in ||ancient basin||

[short kettle]

That doesn't change the fact that metroidvania is all about exploration.

[serene flare]

backforwardtrack

[fluid mulch]

yeah

[ruby hull]

maybe you're right

[flat crescent]

Dang 😭 how am i gonna do that

[tired grove]

in which area do you get the ||double jump||

[lyric shadow]

such a cute fella

[fluid mulch]

you got ||wings?||

[lyric shadow]

wait im trapped

[fluid mulch]

||basin||

[lyric shadow]

i dont have any ||charms || on

[mild estuary]

||You have to go through Crystal Peaks and get through a platforming section in the top far right (if I remember correctly)||

[flat crescent]

Nope someone said i need the ||crystal dash|| to get wings

[serene flare]

just exit to main menu and start again in the last bench you sit

[lyric shadow]

true

[ruby hull]

it's your moment to shine.

[fluid mulch]

||yeah, ig you gotta backtrack||

[lyric shadow]

shine in orange 💀

[flat crescent]

Imma lowk just restart

[fluid mulch]

your whole save file?

[tulip quarry]

What are the best ||charms for radiant Soul Tyrant?||

[serene flare]

Yo that bug full of infection, get some antibiotics

[flat crescent]

Yh i mean im good enough at the game to where its gonna take like 3 hrs to get my progress back

[tight timber]

I dont know if this is the right place for this really but is it OK if I upload a boss fight and y'all can tell me why I suck so bad? I really dont know what my problem is.

[stuck geyser]

how do i turn ||kingsoul into void heart||

[fluid mulch]

yeah but backtracking isnt gonna take that long

[fluid mulch]

||go to abyss||

[lyric shadow]

what ||charms|| should i use against bro

[ruby hull]

am I tripping or this ||skip|| is impossible when you have ||Isma's tear||

[tulip quarry]

Go to a specific area at the bottom of ||The Abyss||

[ruby hull]

bruh

[fluid mulch]

||shaman, mark of pride, soul eater||

[fluid mulch]

p sure ||gqa isnt possible with isma yeah||

[ruby hull]

LMAOO

[lyric shadow]

one slot left

[serene flare]

when you acquire ||ismas tear|| it actually pull you to the acid

[flat crescent]

I lowk forgot to get a lamp so imma js do that 😭

[fluid mulch]

||grubsong/steady body probably||

[ruby hull]

yup, like, when you don't have it, you have a little more space

[lyric shadow]

||steady body !?!??!!||

[unkempt gyro]

What do I do with ||those stars hornet is spawning in like half of fight||?

[fluid mulch]

||can be useful for some people||

[fluid mulch]

|| use fireball on them||

[unkempt gyro]

Oh

[tulip quarry]

You can use your ||nail|| to get rid of them

[upbeat river]

I’m bias I like using ||grubsong :3||

[unkempt gyro]

Didn't thought of that

[ruby hull]

you can ||push them away||

[serene flare]

stars? you means ||spikes||?

[pallid crane]

do i need to full entry all entries to get hunters mark?

[unkempt gyro]

Ye i think so

[serene flare]

just hit them with your nail

[fluid mulch]

||yes, but some dont need to be completed||

[unkempt gyro]

||she keeps spawning more tho if I do that and in seconds whole map is flooded||

[ruby hull]

yeah, that ||bossfight|| is annoying

[serene flare]

you can use them to pogo and dodge things

[pallid crane]

like who?

[bleak delta]

Yooo so who wants help??? I'm here

[fluid mulch]

uhh, ||most dlc enemies||

[mild estuary]

||Yeah but it's the only way to get rid of them. And you need to or else movement gets really difficult.||

[tight timber]

Like I know the answer is just "stop sucking" probably but there is no way I am 50 hours into this game and this shit at it

[zealous gust]

How do i find other nail?

[serene flare]

remember that you can long jump by holding the jump button longer than usual

[bleak delta]

here's a tip. When he jump into the air, do a rotating attack and then go back to safety

[polar geyser]

guys im new to hk, is there an order of place i should go in hk?

[serene flare]

short jump if you press it quickly

[tulip quarry]

When ||Failed Champion|| charges at you dash away, if he jumps away he'll send a ||shockwave|| you need to jump over

[mild estuary]

||You have to go to resting grounds and find the memorial for the dreamers (if you're talking about dream nail)||

||If you mean nail upgrades you go to the far left in CoT||

[tight timber]

I dont really know what this means

[bleak delta]

or use the ||holding nail attack to entirely stop yoursef in the air||

[opaque peak]

||it helps a lot to dash under him when he dashes towards you, he’ll miss you completely||

[bleak delta]

i mean, ||hold your nail (while holding down) And attack||

[tight timber]

I have struggled with every single boss in this game

[bleak delta]

i have 200 hours and istill suck, it's okay

[tight timber]

I just really wish that healing existed in this game but it doesnt

[bleak delta]

i have like 30 hours in silksong rn and i LOVE IT

[tight timber]

(I know it does)

[serene flare]

I have finished the game 5 times with 112% way back years ago. If today I do it again I might still die multiple times

[bleak delta]

bro you can heal in thisgame wdym-

[unkempt gyro]

||How much hp does she have left when starting to spawn them||?

[bleak delta]

out of practice huh?

[tight timber]

It does but you cant really do it in boss fights like this. The game is designed to give you one single maybe possibly healing window to maybe possibly get off 1HP of healing if you are frame perfect before the boss jumps his fat ass on top of you

and thats every boss

this game does not want you to heal in bosses it just doesnt

[serene flare]

well I tried beating silksong boss and need around 20 attempt max

[bleak delta]

that's the case with ||dream bosses|| cuz they're designed to be harder

[bleak delta]

yeah i am in ||act 2 rn|| and silksong is actually pretty hard

[tight timber]

I honestly love this game but also like

fuck this game

[bleak delta]

same reaction when i first played hollow knight

also wwhat device do you play on

[serene flare]

My suggestion is to take breaks. A tired finger never do you any good

[bleak delta]

best advice

[ripe bay]

Should i do the ||boss fight at the black egg temple or palace grounds first?||

[bleak delta]

there's no boss fight in ||palace grounds||

if my memory serves me well

[tight timber]

My finger is not tired I just

Like I am mainly someone who plays RPGs and sometimes fighting games casually so this sort of twitchy platformer stuff just is not in my brain. So I just honestly suck ass

[ripe bay]

this?

[tight timber]

Like I find Elden Ring way easier than this genuinely

[polar geyser]

||guys why is this place infected now?||

[serene flare]

Im just saying from my experience. Generally if I keep losing taking 15 mins break will make me able to defeat the boss next time

[bleak delta]

that's not a boss fight

[ripe bay]

||happens after u get double jump, cant undo it, some pathways are blocked, enemies are more difficult||

[serene flare]

because you have weakened the ||seal||

[bleak delta]

by unsealign the ||dreamers|| or something like that

[polar geyser]

||I think i fight the boss in wrong order, i killed the beast first, is that fine?||

[lyric shadow]

i just beat the fucking game

[bleak delta]

it's been months since i played hk so i forgot

[bleak delta]

good job

NOW DO IT ON STEELSOUL- (jk)

[lyric shadow]

sad ending i dont want this

[lyric shadow]

inshallah

[bleak delta]

you're gonna have to do a lot fo things for happy ending

[bleak delta]

FOCUS

[tight timber]

Also there is actually no healing in this particular fight LOL hitting him does not give you SOUL

[bleak delta]

true

[ripe bay]

||yea its fine, just most people do the other first its up to u the player||

[bleak delta]

cuz we are technically hitting his armour and not him

[lyric shadow]

i did this was like 1 min ago

[lost phoenix]

People heal during fights? I always get hit doing it so I just don’t bother

[bleak delta]

noice

[open quiver]

||is this a skill issue or is the radiance just insanely fucking hard cuz i have not had a single issue with any boss in the game so far but this boss has been taking me almost 3 hours now||

[bleak delta]

radiance is just hard, no skill issue

[lyric shadow]

what do i have to do to get happy ending 😭

[tight timber]

This is what I'm saying. Like this game is made specifically to stop you from healing. You're actually just not supposed to do it because it's pointless

[open quiver]

🥲

[serene flare]

||you can dream nail the boss to get soul once he is down, one dream nail and pogo him to keep him down|| idk if this works in the ||dream version|| but it works in the non||dream||

[open quiver]

the ending isnt so happy after you suffer through the dumbest stupidest poopiest boss ever

[lyric shadow]

this is sad

[bleak delta]

||To achieve the happiest ending, "Dream No More" (the "happy ending" for the base game), you must first defeat the three Dreamers to enter the Black Egg Temple and then defeat the Hollow Knight boss, but instead of defeating it, use the Awoken Dream Nail on the Hollow Knight's consciousness during the fight to enter a dream state. You then must fight and defeat the Radiance, the source of the infection.||

[bleak delta]

silksong awaits you.

[tight timber]

I havent beaten the game yet but I assume all endings are different flavors of sad

[open quiver]

dont you need ||kingsoul|| then ||voidheart||

[lyric shadow]

the fucking sun thing???

im not doing that

[open quiver]

good call

dont do it

[bleak delta]

just givign a summary

[open quiver]

fuck the sun

[lyric shadow]

real

[bleak delta]

OH IN THAT CASE I HAVE A SUMAMRY OF ALL OF HOLLOWKNIGHT IN MY WORDS

it's in #hk-lore

[lyric shadow]

i wanna play ||path of pain bru||

its the reason i got hollow knight

[open quiver]

well path of pain is in the same area you need to get to for the sun anyways, so might as well get the sun

[polar geyser]

||Also want to ask how many geo do i need? I think I lost thousands during the run||

[tight timber]

This is assuming I can last longer than 10 seconds in the fight

[serene flare]

dont do it, its just boss after boss after boss. Never ending torment

[lyric shadow]

you need to fight the sun and then play after, thats too much

[open quiver]

nothijgs too much

imagien the flex you’ll have when you beat the sun

[tight timber]

I hate this so much

[lyric shadow]

i can still load in the save file

[serene flare]

yes you can

[bleak delta]

i beat it hitless ;3

[lyric shadow]

im gonna do it for ||path of pain || idc

[lyric shadow]

WWW

[stuck geyser]

i have ||voidheart|| can i fight thk?

[lyric shadow]

||the hollow knight was too easy||

[open quiver]

thats why he was easy 😭 ||absolute hell after him if you wanna get the “happy” ending||

[tight timber]

...

I'm not going to enjoy Silksong am I

[serene flare]

its harder. Normal enemies deal double damage. Almost all the traps deal double damage.

[undone ivy]

||where to use elegant key in the royal waters||

[tight timber]

Yeah I've heard

and I am already like

not having fun

Like this is not fun

I really like this game's art and exploration and I enjoy the platforming

I just

hate

the

[lyric shadow]

so if i knock down the ||hollow knight at the final moments when they tell me to focus, i dream nail and then caboom i can fight the radiance??||

[tight timber]

bosses

i

hate them

[lyric shadow]

you buy it

[tight timber]

they are all designed to hit you from above, across, below, be on top of you, never let up for a second

[serene flare]

I think you will enjoy ori and the blind forest or ori and the will of the wisp more. They focus on platforming and less fighting boss

[tight timber]

i dont like it

[polar geyser]

i hate parkour instead, my fat fingers just cant do it

[lyric shadow]

W game fr

[tight timber]

this just feels mean

like im already trying to fight the boss, why do they all need to spawn ads, spawn projectiles, jump on my head, have long range

like it just feels fuckin mean dude

[serene flare]

hollow knight is more on the fighting aspect while ori on the platforming

I like both

[open quiver]

no

[tight timber]

I really love everything this game is doing but I just feel like the bosses are all

"fuck it just put more shit on the screen"

[lyric shadow]

like 400 lol

[open quiver]

you need 1800

[lyric shadow]

ffs man

how can i get it, its so hard

[serene flare]

defeat fallen bosses

[upbeat river]

does anyone have the maps to where I can max out my ||soul capacity and masks? I’ve only got 1 of the soul and I think 1 mask, I’m missing one last piece to get another and I already bought everything from sly||

[lyric shadow]

they dont give much

like 100

[open quiver]

those are warriors

[tight timber]

100 is alot more than 1 isnt it

[open quiver]

go back to the bosses you fought previously

[lyric shadow]

ye true

[lyric shadow]

||like lost kin??||

u reminded me of him

[serene flare]

Every boss you encounter have ||dream version|| so you can get more

[lyric shadow]

i wanted to kill his bitch ass

[empty loom]

Not every boss

[ruby hull]

might be a weird question but - any secret rooms in the ||White Lady's house||?

[empty loom]

Its like 5 or 6 of them

[ruby hull]

not every bruh

[lyric shadow]

6 7

[open quiver]

||lost kin is insanely easy i got him first try

i beat soul tyrant first try hes simple enlugh

dung defender is kinda tricky but you can get him he took me some tries

dont even TRY to kill false knight he is too hard

i didnt try grey prince zote||

[open quiver]

they each give like 300-400 ||essence||

[ruby hull]

🤯

[empty loom]

You can cheese ||false knight||

[lyric shadow]

i didnt save him ||zote|| , hes a dick head for no reason

[ruby hull]

||False Champion|| isn't that hard tbh

like

harder ofc

[open quiver]

why i love him

[lyric shadow]

and how is ||flase knight the hardest one 😭||

[ruby hull]

it's ||basically the same boss but faster with 1 new attack||

[open quiver]

thats rhe thing, you’d expect it to be the easiest

it is NOT the easiest

[empty loom]

He also deals double damage

[open quiver]

yup

[empty loom]

But im used to it now

[ruby hull]

is this your first time playiing

[empty loom]

Silksong

[lyric shadow]

he talks shit for no reason after i saved him on my very first time playing

[open quiver]

he funny

[lyric shadow]

not my first save file but my first time beating the game so yeah

[empty loom]

I quit on hk after ||hornet greenpath|| to play silksong

[lyric shadow]

dumb ass

[ruby hull]

maybe my ||all (almost) radiant bosses|| self started talking

[empty loom]

2nd playthrough tho

[ruby hull]

and you didn't ||save Zote||

[empty loom]

On my first i only did the 1st and 2nd ||pantheon||

Because then silksong came

[ruby hull]

lmaoo

[empty loom]

I did ||pop|| tho

[ruby hull]

I played the game the whole June and almost the entire July of last year

so yeah

came after a year and 2 months break

[lyric shadow]

yes cause i hated him so much i wanted him to burn in hell so i left him suffer

[ruby hull]

HAHAHHAA

but you don't know any of his interactions?

[lyric shadow]

wdym

[ruby hull]

like

when you interact with him

literally

[tight timber]

Bro

you didnt save ||Zote|| every time??

[lyric shadow]

i talked to him when i save him and one time i found him at ||dirtmouthh|| so only 2 times

[serene flare]

I save ||zote|| every time only for the geo

[lyric shadow]

why would i

[ruby hull]

oh

[knotty summit]

can someone mark where the closest bench to ||brooding mawlek|| is?

[ruby hull]

what, he gives you geo?

forgor that

I gotta start a new save just to ||leave him die, as I don't have the achievement|| lmaoo

[serene flare]

no, the defeated enemy drop geo

[ruby hull]

oh yeah mb

[upbeat river]

bump!

[rugged veldt]

||ancestral mound or Dirtmouth are your best bets||

[rugged veldt]

Can you send your current map, as well as inventory? To see where you can and cannot access

[robust ridge]

[lyric shadow]

[rugged veldt]

[tight timber]

[zealous crow]

[hexed lantern]

What even happened

[lyric shadow]

[knotty summit]

[tidal yew]

[night ice]

[rapid frigate]

Am I ready for ||dreamers||?

[lyric shadow]

yeah

they arent hard

[brazen pumice]

Ye

[rapid frigate]

Thanks

Which one to start with

[lyric shadow]

||i cant dream nail false knight, nothing shows up not even text||

[brazen pumice]

You can do like any of them

[lyric shadow]

whatever honestly

[vernal belfry]

Guys pls

[brazen pumice]

||search for something in the surroundings||

[minor nebula]

I got stuck in the elevator cutscene in the ||city of tears|| and the only thing I can do is open open inventory/map by pressing "i" and i can't even open the pause menu

[ivory token]

so I noticed that the ||Soul Tyrant's dives in phase 2|| can slightly start more to the left/right at times, and that if you dash within the direction he's at it will hit you, is there a consistent way to dodge those?

[lyric shadow]

oh shit, ty i found it

[night ice]

what boss should i fight next im have 6 masks missing one frag for 7 ||1st nail upgrade and have beat false knight, hornet, gruz mother, veneking fly, soul master, moss charger, mantis lords, brroding mawlek, crystal guardian, dung defender and broken vessel also at what point should i go fight dream bosses?||

[brazen pumice]

||Get more nail upgrades and start going for dreamers, actually you can do dreams if you want||

[last forum]

||Best charms for this?||

[night ice]

||not like flukemarm or collector and watcher knights i defiently will get a nail upgrade before next boss but dreamers really?||

[brazen pumice]

||uh i can’t explain it without spoiling it but you can do dreamers, tho you could do dream warriors before upgrading nail cause their hp scale with nail upgrade||

[night ice]

i know the whole game i already spoiled it its ok

[neat karma]

Their ||hp does indeed scale up when you upgrade your nail. However what people never mention about this fact is that your nail scales faster and it still ends up being easier to kill||

So yes do indeed ||upgrade your nail||

[brazen pumice]

||then why are u asking if you can do dreamers the like only hard fight required for them is watcher nights||

[last forum]

Help with this please 😭

[brazen pumice]

||would spell build melt them if they have low hp?||

[neat karma]

Not one a non speedrunner would ever do

[dusky tartan]

||what i did? https://i.imgur.com/PUkmHL9.jpeg||

[brazen pumice]

Yeah true

[neat karma]

Even then its harder and saves seconds, theyre not speedrunning it so why not make it simpler

[night ice]

i know all the bosses not details like location and everything

[brazen pumice]

Well what do you need about them cause you can just search for them

[tight timber]

honestly i gotta learn to stop bitching bc every time a boss fight feels impossible, and bs i slowly just start getting it

and then it feels doable

[last forum]

Please anybody who have done this

[full elk]

|| Im stuck at the very bottom of fungal wastes next to mantis village and i cant leave theres no way out and i used the bench there so if i die i just respawn in the same place||

[opaque folio]

Trying to ||fight the broken vessel|| which ||charms|| should I use

[dusky tartan]

i confused

[full elk]

?

[jade sedge]

||Dcrest stalwart longnail probably. Or sshroom and i guess thorns instead of one of the 2 notches. Thorns is kind of bad but longnail and stalwart arent too good either||

[jade sedge]

Did you go to ||mantis village ||yet

[full elk]

Yes

||but i cant do anything there like get the mantis claw its locked behind a wall||

[solar silo]

||Go and check out dirtmouth||

[opaque folio]

||alr im doing dcrest stalwart and long nail, it seems my main issue is i cant find any bosses, sometimes i find entire new areas before i find a single boss 😭||

[wide silo]

you might need to go ||charm|| hunting ngl

[opaque folio]

Yea for sure ||no idea how to tho, I’ve been running around looking for literally anything at all for 2hrs and found nothing||

[wide silo]

I'll check the map rq and I'll point you to a few areas

[solar silo]

||Look in hidden breakable walls in small corners, as well as shopkeepers :3||

imo ||The lifeblood charms|| Carried my playthrough

[full elk]

This is where im at btw

[wide silo]

do you use ||spells|| or nails more?

[lyric shadow]

||use mantis claw||

[full elk]

Cant get it

[lyric shadow]

why

why didnt u get it in the first place

[full elk]

Locked behind a wall

I was exploring i didn’t know what to do

[lyric shadow]

no its not, u just have to do a puzzle and some parkour

[full elk]

Where was i supposed to go???

[opaque folio]

Nail almost 100% tbh
Btw I did manage to kill the ||broken vessel||

[full elk]

I tried bouncing off of an enemy but that didn’t work

Or its just too hard

[brazen pumice]

You gotta go to ||mantis village|| all the way to the left and you can reach village from that bench

[full elk]

Okay i’ll see

[heavy prism]

anything to do here

[torpid wadi]

Use ||up spell||

[heavy prism]

i cant

[torpid wadi]

Why

Don't have it?

Then come back when you do

[heavy prism]

yeah i didnt even know that was an ability

[full elk]

||bruh i just saw the switch||

[clever forge]

BRO

[wide silo]

op ok lol
Some ||charm || options anyways

• || Soul Catcher: Head to the place you got vengeful spirit and go to the left of the place you fought the boss, there'll be an item there||.
• ||Quick Slash: Head to the bottom right of Kingdom's Edge and break the floor. go from there||.
• ||Fragile Charms: Climb down from the Forgotton crossroads entrance into Fungal Wastes, look for a guy called 'Leg Eater'. Can be made Unbreakable from the Grimm Troupe||.
• ||Shaman Stone: Buy from Salabura (bottom right of Forgotton crossroads, you'll hear someone going "Oho! Hoo!"||.

[clever forge]

do i need the 2nd one?

[obtuse grove]

Is this a glitch on my screen? Whenever I attack since I arrived in this area it's been glitching like this.. (Playing on Switch 2)

[split saffron]

That's the particles of an enemy dying, no?

[gritty igloo]

I mean not really but if you have a ||pale ore|| it costs 800 and it's very useful

[dusky yacht]

should i attack her

[split saffron]

No

[dusky yacht]

okay

[lyric shadow]

what do u get

[split saffron]

Unless your into constant ||parrying||

[obtuse grove]

first pick bottom left, second pick right below and to the left of the knight, looks like a pause button shape

[split saffron]

Upgrade

[dusky yacht]

i never parried before but is it worth killing her

[lyric shadow]

oh u get the black thing

[split saffron]

You can't ||kill her||

[split saffron]

||Abyss Shriek, yes||

[dusky yacht]

why im strong

[split saffron]

what

[clever forge]

idk what are these

[heavy prism]

completely coincidental but i think i just got it

[split saffron]

You just can't.

[lyric shadow]

😭

[dusky yacht]

(im not) i started 2 days ago only lol

[split saffron]

You need to ||murder|| all of the ||ghoss in spirit's glade||

[split saffron]

yes

you did

[dusky yacht]

is it worth doing so

[lyric shadow]

no like u cant kill her

[split saffron]

no

[dusky yacht]

oh

[split saffron]

no

[obtuse grove]

This

[lyric shadow]

there is another way to defeat her

[dusky yacht]

okay

[primal ibex]

Ethically no

[spice abyss]

||How do I leave the city of tears someone help pls, I havent even killed or seen the mantis lords||

[split saffron]

huh cool

[dusky yacht]

ok i wont ig

[neat karma]

Left and up from here iirc

[primal ibex]

Go right

[split saffron]

Im stupid

I forgor the ||stag station||

[fathom sparrow]

||Is this a good build 8 charm slots, quick slash, mark of pride and long nail||

[spice abyss]

but the gate there is closed

[fathom sparrow]

Why do we have to censor charm names lol

[neat karma]

||mark of pride + longnail is unnecessary, what else do you have for 2||

[primal ibex]

Maybe ||shaman stone instead of mark of pride||

[neat karma]

Then find a way around the gate

[fathom sparrow]

||Maybe could run soul catcher?||

[primal ibex]

Basically all in game content need to be spoiler tagged

[fathom sparrow]

Dam

[neat karma]

Yeah thats miles better than ||longnail||

[dusky yacht]

should i attack the ||ghosts in spirits glade||?

[lyric shadow]

fuck ||lost kin||

[spice abyss]

if I could I wouldnt type it here...

[neat karma]

Spoiler tags, no use doing so

[neat karma]

Can you send your map

[spice abyss]

dont have it...

[dusky yacht]

okay

[primal ibex]

Again, ethically not good and overall not worth it

[dusky yacht]

okay

[neat karma]

Youre right next to the guy, maybe it could show you how to go around

Anyway gimme a second

[spice abyss]

I literally have 0 geo

[primal ibex]

Grind in the room under you

[neat karma]

Literally going left then up from your image gets you out

[gritty igloo]

Don't need ||long nail really mop does enough use something like soul catcher if you want to be able to heal rather quickly or spell twister to maximize spell spamming||

[undone ivy]

how to get up

[neat karma]

?tag uncspoilers

[lyric shadow]

we love a bug sleepover

[neat karma]

Oh is dyno dead

[normal raft]

does this place do anything?

[opaque folio]

I can’t get to the ||ancestral mound|| bc the ||crossroads are infested and stuff is blocking it||

[neat karma]

Anyway please dont mention stuff you dont know if they have it

[split saffron]

no, just ||charm||

[spice abyss]

im here, where now

[normal raft]

o ty

[gritty igloo]

? Did i tag something wrong

[split saffron]

follow the ||stag sign||

[neat karma]

||there a sign saying exactl where the exits at||

[neat karma]

#hk-help message

[spice abyss]

but I need 200 geo right?

[gritty igloo]

Ah broke, just farm some guards around ig?

[neat karma]

I dont remember but just killing enemies around should get you there

[primal ibex]

Up a bit more and right

[dusky yacht]

||what are that if i i progress too far in ill lock myself out of an ending it was mentioned in the guide||

[split saffron]

If you get a certain item, you lock yourself out of the ||basic ending||, yes.

[neat karma]

Youll know what it is when youre there

[lyric shadow]

any tips for ||lost kin||

[primal ibex]

Just don’t do anything with the last ||charm|| and you’re safe

[neat karma]

Eitherway youre able to ||end the game before that happens, so just doing that as soon as its possible will save you the worrying||

[languid radish]

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

[open quiver]

||I FINALLY BEAT THE SUN||

[opaque folio]
