jus kiding
How can u tell😭
not the ||true ending||
That's all the maps
let's just say i have memorised EVERY DUCKING CORNER in 200 hours
is ||grimm child|| or ||harmless meldady|| better
ok
besides we don't want to pay child support
2nd, but they're both pretty bad
what about ||grimm||
worst charm
dam
They're both bad
Jesus christ I'm on ||the third white defender|| and im not gonna lie, three ||masks of damage PER HIT hit|| is outrageous
That does very low damage and breaks bosses out of stagger
it does give a chance of blocking ALL damage so nah not bad
correct.
I despise ||watcher knights||
I can’t even take one at a time let alone TWO
How tf do I beat them
it gets worse my friend.
GIT GUD-
show me your charm build @hexed lantern
it's already at the stage where i can't get hit really, it's just so much damage lol
There's a secret near the arena that lets you practice one at a time
From there just keep going
they have like 10 stages
uhhh is does this do anything?
where?
so basically it's eventually you have to do it hitless
flashbang 😭
yes
I FUCKING HATE ||WATCHER KNIGHTS||
i think ||steady body|| uses 2 slots right?
have u destroyed the ||chandelier||?
||you can break the roof before you enter and drop a chandelier on one, and then there's only one knight until you kill the first one||
he can't be knocked ||out of the ground or staggered either||
One
WHAT
YOU CAN DO THAT
oh that, ahh i rememeber discovered it on my own,
HOWWWW
yes and it kills one of them before the battle
remove that, and replace it with ||baldur's shell||
like theres an elevator right before the room
yeah
WHY ARE YOU HERE
||break the ceiling before you go in the arena||
oh
and theres a rope
ok thx
you cut it
||be careful, nail pogo, WAIT to see what they are doing first and spam spells at them, they don't actually have much HP|| not gonna lie NONE of that is spoilers.
What charms are recommended for the ||Grimm bossfight? ||
hope this bot gets computer virus
||Should I get overcharmed?||
yeah the ||2nd knight actually pmo so hard||
Just hope you land a hit.
||spells|| is
fuck off
Chat once I get all ||charms, which boss should I go after first?: Traitor lord, nkg, the collector, watcher knight, Uumuu, or brooding mawlek?|| ||those that I didn't mention I've already beaten or they don't count towards completion||
oh mb i forgot it takes two slots, i think equp ||dash master||
Still two
6, 5, 4, 1, 3, 2
just get ||overcharmed|| at this point using ||baldur shell||
the runback for ||Traitor Lord|| is quite frustrating, I'd get him out of the way, the fight is quite easy tho
...no
aura farming
this is why i used the ||teleporter||
I didnt have it, would have been so much better
Who up
||I got Mark of pride and quick dash is this good I only have 6 notches I also have shaman charm||
ugh, i cant be bothered to fight this ||poop man|| any more, we've killed ||two of him|| I'll come back later
There isn't really a reason to do any beyond the first
should i use ||lifeblood heart||? i only have ||7 masks||
no achievement or completion %
He has some dialogue if you get to 5, but that's it
Is this boss hard?
Are they gonna add hollow knight native version 5
It's hard for early game
nah its gash, your best friend in those fights is ||spell damage|| learn to be patient, then spam them and you'll hit multiple, giving you time to heal between ||each watcher||
i missed it so i destoyed him
okok
Are they gonna add hollow knight native version ps5
so do I use ||spell charms||
I don't have enough ||essence|| for it, I'll just cope because I already had to recently deal with the ||Hive knight|| and the journey there and back was quite annoying each time I died because getting past all those obeese ||bees||
how do i get out of ||deepnest|| without a ||lantern||
The way you came in
do you have the quick cast button rebound to B? I like to do that and put my heal on the bumper so i can easily differentiate
im lost and i cant see anything
too used to base controls, it’d slip me up a lot
Don't go the way you need|| lantern|| for
That's wrong
||use shaman stone and soul twister, grubsong and soul catcher|| you'll have plenty of soul for both ||spells and healing||
Constantly ||slash|| as you walk or try dying so you'll go back to your last saved ||bench||
well, the quick cast makes your ||spell|| go off instantly, instead of when you release B , it's worth switching, trust me it doesnt take long, i was playing the entire game with default controls and it took me 5 mins its very natural
You can just save & quit assuming you have't set a save point anywhere inside the area
Some number of ||grubs||, 15 feels right but I don't really know
||collect 10 grubs and give them to grubdaddy||
oh
Are they gonna add hollow knight native version ps5
it's an S tier ||charm||
grind time
It's A
which
It's good a lot of the time but not an auto include in any build
||grubsong||
B at best
i rarely unequip it
it goes down the less you get hit
i've bruteforced a lot of bosses using it and a strong healing setup, being patient and it gives me more time in the boss arena to learn the moveset
THE REAL S tier charm is ||unbreakable strength||
Or ||shamans stone||
tbh it depends on the player's skills
so yeah
Depending on your build
i didnt read ||wayward compass|| there buddy
If you're a spell type then yeah S tier
it's also really good, but i honestly rarely use it, it costs too many ||notches|| and i do a lot of damage with everything other than the nail
there is no tier to classify something as legendary as the compass
i use ||strenght and shaman stone||
but yeah only one ||notch|| for something that gives you free soul when you get hit, and a disgusting amount, im sorry but that's S tier to me
Hi🙂
Helloo
I got ||unbreakable sthrenght, quick slash, quick focus, unbreakable heart.|| Are they gud
all very good, i'd drop the last one tho
its solid but falls off later on a bit
Why
thats a pretty good build but it could get better
W build
who needs more than 8 masks with |||quick focus|| lamo
Imo
Recomend me then
burps
i would put in ||shaman and spell twister for heart and qf cause i like spells||
I like this
Recommend me you too or il burp
When you fight Rad ||markoth|| no hearts matter.
DO DA BURP
burps and twerks on the knight
gud
my brute force setup is || grubsong, quickfocus, quick slash, deepfocus || you can literally tank everything and you hit so fast you gain soul constantly
do i need to pass that ||saws|| to get the other part of the ||king charm||?
W setup
i forgot ngl

||If you switched quickfocus & deep focus for shamans & strength then stuff would be dead before you need to heal that's my thought process anyways||
my cheese setup is ||weaversong, grimmchild, grubsong, sprintmaster, glowing womb|| you just run around, u dont have to do anything, you gain soul for nothing and produce new minions that do everything for you
not in late game, the bosses tank ||15-20 full hits from spells with shaman stone equipped||
yes
||shaman is still a top 3 chamr late game and depp focus is pretty bad||
but i dont need to pass trough ||path of pain || right?
i die more with full damage builds than with tank builds, whatever gets me through the boss, i killed ||LK, Failed Champ and Soul Tyrant in less than 3 tries||
Does anyone know ||how to get past the hornet on the edge of the kingdom?|| I'm stuck.
||Shaman abyss shriek does 120 damage, very few bosses will hold up very long against that. Let alone a max nail build doing 31 damage per hit / 124dps without fury||
||run to the other side of the arena, that will bait her to jump up and dive bomb you from the other side, as soon as she does that, dash to center, heal, you'll have time. You basically need to wait for her to attack, then respond. You can NOT just go swinging the nail at her, she will decimate you.||
IDK what triggers the spoiler bot so there we go
Yeah, that's completely optional
very few bosses can be ||shrieked|| without taking damage, and tanking all three parts
but yeah its disgusting dmg with the right setup
Idk man ||I've found shriek windows for well over half of 'em||
Thanks, I'll try
i can barely find heal windows let alone anything else lmao, fair play lad
||is this gate suposed to be here still? how do i come back i wanna explore more||
shit wait
What is a good charm setup for ||Nightmare King Grimm|| that doesn’t use overcharming? I’m getting beat on this fight
yeah its annoying but you will find a way around
ok thanks
Fair
I've got almost 300h so my perspective might be a bit skewed
the best setup is dodge everything, attack ONLY on ||the bat attack|| and you'll kill him, if you try to get greedy or impatient he will slap you
40h here lol
i play fair slow like, i've got to do a few more ||endings|| spent a few times on ||white poop man|| today
use a ||nail range|| charm, ||mark of pride|| will give you a lot of range so you can hit her without getting too close, gives you breathing room
||are hollowneast seals for selling only||
Ok
in hollow knight new game + all my charms and items move on to the next game?
what?
hm?
i dont understand what you are asking
like if u change devices, into silksong, new save file
i mean charms sry
||what does binding in the pantheons do||
like... into a new save file? no
No
no no i mean new game + if thats possible
||nail makes nail dmg from 21-13, soul makes capacity 33 or one heal, shell gives u 4 masks and charms removes charms||
a new game? as in what?
silksong? save file?
be specific please
Oh
Ok
i said new game + in one save file. Idk if holloiw knight have that option
but i assume not
u can have 4 save files per account
as in when the game restarts
but stuff doesnt carry over
its new
i see so i cant repeat new game again in same file
It is but it's useless
What ||game modes ||do you have unlocked?
should i pogo those ||small saws||?
ngl i just found this area and i'm like daaaamn
i need someones help who knows about mods/charm mods really badly please
yeah and like, it is not optional
||White Palace|| was made easier by me having played Celeste 100% at some point
still brutal though
Finallyyyyyy
is there a way to skip the credits
||watcher knights|| feels a lot easier with the ||SOUL charm combo||
is there a way to skip the credits at the end of the game
How do u mark my text as spoiler to ask for help?
I can't spend geos? Even if I press yes it doesn't work. I heard you need default keys for it to work but those use the arrow keys and I have none T-T
pretty sure the default key is z but i dont play on pc
?tag spoilers
🔹 Ensure Discord’s spoiler tagging is used around spoilers (please see the pins for what is allowed, this changes between both games).
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.
Okay thanks
nah, maybe just quitting out of the game but that probably will skip the win as well
Guys i'm missing 6 ||entries|| any guesses?
Go to the wiki or chat gpt
||i don't know what happened but my game bugged and i got a 4th vessel thing like for soul even though 3 is the max and then lost 3% completion from the game and now my save file is at 108% instead of 111%||

Yes
It is recommended to not use mods on your main file and to back it up, but you can always edit it
?tag savefaq
Save Files
What do save files looks like?
- Each Hollow Knight save file is a
user#.datwhere#is the save slot for the file - You can rename
user3.dattouser1.datto set it to your first save slot - You can keep a copy of all of your save files by copy and pasting them into a different folder on your computer
Reverting Backups
- Automatic backups are called
user#.dat.bak#, where the first#is the save slot, and the second#is the backup number. You will usually have your last three backups - You restore a backup by deleting the main file, and then removing the
.bak#part of the backup version
Modded Saves
- A modded save may also have a
user#.modded.json(and similarly named backup). This file and theuser#.datare part of the save
Where are the files?
- On windows, the default path for Save Files is:
%appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\- You should just copy and paste that path directly into the File Explorer path bar at the top.
- For other operating systems (and Xbox Games), type
?tag savesinto chat
I need a specific type of save file
- Various save files can be found in the "Saves" section of this page: https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/resources
- If the file you download is a
.raror other archived format, then you will need to extract it with something like 7zip
- If the file you download is a
Editing save files
- MoreSaves: With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the Menu, by going to Options > Mods > MoreSaves
- QoL: Opening a save with QOL installed will create an extra save file called
user#.json, which can be edited using Notepad or a similar text editor - DebugMod: While not an intended purpose, you can edit some parts of your save file using Debug, such as Nail Damage, and those changes will remain even after uninstalling the mod

idk why but i didn't get an entry for ||goam and garpede|| i remember getting them on the way after ||wastes|| and getting ||sharp shadow||
Then go back ||to the places where you get them and try to inspect the corpses again||
mmmh it didn't give me an ||entry||
i think i skipped past ||its entry||
the only 2 that i know i'm missing are ||the crawlers and vagabond||
one was ||moss charger||
TY
What charms do I use for ||hornet v2||
Depends if you like offense or defense
Do I have to pick one of the two or can it be both
||does anyone play on playstation that has beaten radiance?||
Also, there's some really good charms you don't have right now, I would recommend checking some of the shops
Does anyone play on playstation and has platinum hollow knight?
Honestly its often best to go with what you're comfortable
||do i keep my money in the bank or does she run off with it||
||She runs off but you can get it back later||
||is it in an area where i need like wings or something to get to||
Nah

|| i finally unlocked the tram lol||
I avoid it if I can via ||stagways and trams||
ok. i just got the||trams||
||I hate Grimm >:||
I just jump and ||dash|| over the ||infected bugs that run at you and explode|| the ||furious vengeflies used to be annoying, but now they go down in a couple of hits for me||
yh its 4 or 5 hits for me
i got the ||channeled nail now||
For the 100% achievement, does the 100% have to come from the base game and not dlc, or can I basically choose what percentages I leave out?
well, just finished the ||white palace|| if i never see another saw blade it will be too soon
you can get whatever % it doesn't matter from where you got it
Cool
||when does the banker run away? bc i just killed the soul master and i want to go bank my money but dont want to waste time running back to her just to find her gone||
after she gets like 2550 geo and you bench
ok thanks
after she runs off how do i keep my money safe?
How can I get ||my money back from the banker after she runs away?||
that's the neat part there isn't one
I saw her in || the tower of love but noothing happened||
How do I get to my ||grub|| friend here?
hit her
yep
kill her?
what if i just suck....
i killed ||white denfener|| yipee
You have to go in the crystal path
Does anyone play hk on playstation?
Ohh Ty I didn’t realize there was something I missed there
I || just beat hornet in greenpath, and I tried looking around but i have no idea where im supposed to go, any help? ||
You're all good ahah, I was so confused when I saw it as well. I thought I had to somehow climb up from the ||Hollow knight boss area||
||do i have to kill a boss or something so i can get to the banker after she runs off or can i just run all the way to her?||
Any areas you unlocked starting with queen?
i dont know what that is
ugh climbing out of the ||abyss|| to that music was pretty dope
wdym by "that"?
tbh i didn't understand what you said lol
Has anyone beaten hk on playstation 112%
all you will need is a ||simple key||
ok good enough
you need to go to the right side of the city
which areas have you unlocked yet?
thanks
i sent the map
Oh no I just killed my ||grub|| friend 😭
thats only for one area i.e ||city of tears||
just leave it
What have I done 
that was a fake. there should be one nearby
Oh, yeah there was one lol
there are a couple of other fakes too, so be cautious IG.
Also I was wondering if anyone knows a completionist checklist that goes beyond 112%? I'm wanting to do everything possible like the ||dream fights of dung defender and the real zote boss fight|| but those don't add to the compeltion mark
Care spoilers? bot should be working fine, it blocked out a spoiling message I sent a lil minute ago
u right
are u 112 already? try going for all achievements
Nono I'm only at 105% but I'm slowly going through the motions. It's mostly ||pantheon, path of pain, Endings 2-5 (gonna give those a break for a bit so I can fully complete the game by doing the last endings c: ) and then Nightmare King Grimm to finish the main things.|| Though I would like to truly do everything
yeah just keep working on that stuff
|| Path of pain || is not needed
he wants to do everything outside of 112% as well
105% in 2025 bro ? I think everyone should've 112 Ed before silksong
how do i get in here?
||u gotta beat the boss||
what boss
||keep exploring mantis village||
Holy shit this is an actually goated site, being able to just add my save to it is so nice
Does anyone play on playstation and has completed hk fully?
is it the 3 dudes at the bottom
yurp
😭
why playstation specifically
It's what I have, and I don't have the p c
Why are you caring so much about spoilers is it a rule or something
yes actually lol
I have beat it fully on playstation
I just started like a week or two ago, don't bully
Do you think you could do a parkour?Area for me, cuz.I have been trying it for the past three days
It's fine bro take ur time cuz silksong already came out
what area
Ah righto I forgot about that, I mostly added that cause it feels like one of the "main" things that you should do before you put down hollow Knight but yeah, not needed for the 112
guys one ||entry|| left what do you think it is?
how to get your save file?
||u finished p5 before hunters journal?||
How to beat ||second hornet||
||gum it's white palace||
Do you have ||Shade soul||?
ye
Since idk what that is no
thats crazy, i think check wiki since ur already done eveyrthing else so no spoilers
you have ||sly|| right?
it's a 170 list 😭
||The first shopkeeper?||
crazy that ||journal|| is a spoiler
If you're on pc honestly I'd suggest using the link he sent earlier to see the completionist guide. There's a section on the ||journal|| and it shows if some are not found or if some are found but not completed
Isnt that ||iselda||?
||Did you mean sly like the shopkeeper or is there anything else named sly||
If I have to guess, I'd assume the ones you could be missing is the ||goam|| entry or ||garpede||. They are ones that you can't get by killing but rather finding their corpse or some other stuff like that
oh forgot, @jagged widget
^
||husk warrior||
oh thats insane but sorta makes sense, by the point they show up you usually have done everything in the original area or they are so insignificant that you just jump past them prob
somehow i never bought the key from ||sly||
||they meant sly the shopkeeper I'm sure. If you buy the elegant key from sly and open a door in city of tears you can upgrade your vengeful spirit||
How much is it
800
me after dying for the 343th time after i got 2000 geo at ||crystal peaks||
(activate windows)
||I died to my shade with 1500 geo on it 💔 💔 💔 ||
Felicidade
that's not mega charizard x
idk if i should update my name when i get the achievement i'm missing or when i get all of them back
I forgor to change it
how do i fight ||lost kin|| bruh, i'm already on 13 death
||for pantheon 4 whats a good strategy for the guy with the shield, he very annoying fr||
||Narts||
?
||Nail arts||
how to use those
Don’t be overly aggressive
||honestly just learn his attack pattern. he has 2 dashes that you can pogo over, a jump attack you can dash out of, a slash attack that has no range, and a fire spewing attack that you can stay close to and do a ton of damage||
||ghosts have 1 hp so if you're struggling with that just equip the stinky charm||

||mop work better if you’re good at the game imo||
what are some good ||charms|| I should get?
||or just kill the ghosts in one hit and spam spells||
im a geometry ||dash|| player i have that one equipped irl
||markoth i usually just brute force||
had to spoiler ||dash|| lmao
geometry ||dash||
||that what i mean mop is mark of pride also spell is good liek d dark but i honestly don’t use them for kin||
thanks burr
There is NO way you explore that much with that little charms to your name
But charms to get
oh also how do i do the ||mushroom thing? i found him in the fungal place but then not in any other place he is supposed to be at||
I've been using the same ones for like 3 ||bosses||
maybe i did it in the wrong order?
did not need to spoiler bosses lil bro
I haven't found any new ||charms||
||mark of pride, long nails, shaman stone, quick slash, spell twister, grub song, fragile strength and heart (can be upgraded to unbreakable later on)||
bro 😭
what is this?
||black egg||
what
oh
stop spoilering ||literally fucking everything||
The ||hollow knight||
||you|| ||dont|| ||need|| ||to|| ||spoiler|| ||every|| ||word|| ||from|| ||this|| ||game||

it took me painfully long to spoiler all of those words individually
yeah you can say my boy elder bug is very old
hes over 9000!!!!!
Are the charms i'm using okay for ||black egg temple||
which?
this
holy fuck
||compass does nothjing dashmaster isnt good for bosses and thorns sucks to such another level you shouldnt use it even if you have nothing better||
I've been exploring
the only ||salvageable charm you have is soul catcher which is good||
LMAO
how did he find ||baldur's before grubsong|| 😭
you should go explore previous areas and look through every nook and cranny
||dashmaster is good for exploring, no?||
Idk, I've been using those charms for like 4 bosses I think
I wonder, how many ||notches|| do you have? ie slots to for the charms
he's doing low% 😭
4 iirc
No shit
giving this statue is affecting smth?
Lowest percent you can complete the game at
Yes
put 3.5k geo in
3k
mb
aw hell nah, what does it do?
gives you a ||vessel fragment||
Giving you smth
|| I DON"T GET NKG'S UPPERCUT. THE FIREBALLS JUST FLY ANYWHERE IT DONT MAKE SENSE ||
btw where's the bug in the castle where you first spawn, I see the icon but there's nothing?
they fly in the same 5 places giving 3 gaps
huh
||how many bindings do i need to get the % for 112% in pantheons||
Zero
You get ||percent from beating the pantheons (4%) ||
after 8 ||bindings|| they give lifeblood tho
why my message got nuked 😭
You also get another % when you get the ||thing that the godseeker drops, but you likely already got that as its given when you unlock godhome||

unc spoilers
relative to him
like one always goes below him and if you go a little to the right you can avoid it
where's the bug at?? ||King's Pass||
||what bug, the lifeblood? It shows pretty clear where it is||
by the path you follow at the start to the left
why did you spoiler it?? 😭
spoiler what?
I tried to find it but there was no openings
The spoiler bot said to them to spoil tag it I think
||theres a breakable wall there||
How you do the spoiler thing
double | between the thing you want to spoil
you can also select and right click and select the eye
why cant i get through here? i already killed both the ||angels|| and i need 1 more. this seems like the area where the last one is
||shade cloak thru it||
oh.... i dont have that
The angels?
Oh, ||dreamers||
other path maybe
what other path?
||So im new to hollow knight like really new started 2 days ago, i just obtained the mantis claw and now don't know what to do, and because of my obsession with spending i only have 200 geo what should i do||
||in fungal wastes there's a parlour section leading to a new area ||
||right side of fungal wastes||
Whats this one
go to this area in ||greenpath ||and farm some ||geo ||from those ||2 grass knights||. they drop|| 50 geo each||. once you kill them go back|| to stag station bench, sit on it ||and repeat the cycle
||deepnest boss||
u shudnt be farming geo, explore and u get geo along the way
||dream boss, not a dreamer||
find out
Mb
yeah... but sometimes you do really need it
How do I get out of ||Crystal Peak||, I'm lost
I got the ||Crystal Heart||, if that helps
do u have the map
yeah show map
||I need to get a pale ore, but dont know how to get any of them, what is the easiest one? I am sitting at 7 masks, one soul vessel upgrade, 7 notches, 20 charms, dream nail, crystal heart, monarch wings desolate dive, cyclone dash||
@solid heart @frail wedge
(sorry for ping)
I'm doing my first Hollow Knight playthrough,
The game was fine and easily understandable, but I got lost in ||City of Tears||, I cannot for the life of me find a way out, I've looked for what felt like forever, I have both ||Mothwing Cloak|| and ||Mantis Claw||.
I feel like i'm softlocked, but I read that once you get the ||Mantis Claw|| you can't get softlocked unless you pull some extremely difficult speedrun techs, which I don't think I did.
If anyone can help me it'd be really nice, I can screenshare if needed (I don't have a mic though).
There's a station in ||City of Tears||
Where?
||do u have map for city||
nope
||jump off one of the elevators half way and there are some floating platforms outside u can land on||
Always check your hanging transitions. I marked you here in red one I know you can't reach, and in green 3 others you can check. Also in yellow the entrances the map straight up tells you. So just pick one and explore!
The yellow entrances are too high / blocked by a door
Did you check back with your new ability?
Any tips for the hollow knight boss? I have 50 minutes to beat it for my sub 5 hour on my second playthrough
does anyone know if both the projectile of grubfly nail charm and the nail can hit the enemy? (like increasing the overall damage when youre melee) and does it affect staggers?
||went there, all the doors are closed, there was a lever but I already pulled it.||
what skills did you pick up?
Any ||charm builds|| I can try? That hopefully has a notch to accomodate ||Wayward||
nope, ||nail will take priority over beam, they can't hit both at once
This can create situations in which the beam hits first because you were out of range, and then approach with the lingering hitbox of the nail, robbing you of damage, soul, and most importantly, recoil. That's why sometimes pogos just fail with elegy equipped.||
I have ||desolate dive and vengeful spirit||
try to use the most you can out of ||desolate dive, as it gives iframes||
How much time do you have left? You could go get ||an upgraded version of either, they will make the fight 100 times easier||
51 minutes
||baldur and gathering swarm are kind of useless, gathering swarm is pretty much only good for if you’re grinding geo, soul catcher if you’re grinding for more soul after you die, but not super helpful in more advanced boss fights since it takes up 2 notches, but thorns of agony can be good in the closer combat situations and spell twister is good for reducing the soul notch cost||
What’s that
get ||wraiths|| from ||fog canyon||, not ||boss ||specific, but useful in general
||Descending dark||
not for ||thk||
Oh
I mean you can
Found an elevator to the town, thx
but it's not that efficient
in ||crystal peaks||
Any tips on how to beat || abs rad ||
I think ima upgrade to ||shade soul|| cuz I have the ||charm that makes it do more damage||
should i use ||simple key|| on it?
Nah
it's helpful in general, but not for ||thk || specifically is what I meant, it is easy to get though, so you can get it quickly
||Shaman buffs it 33% while ddark 50% actually||
doesn't ||shaman stone buff all spells 50%||
Yeah, and I'd advice anyone doing the speedrun achievemnt to get it early since it's a small detour, but he's already at ||thk|| so it's not helpful
If you mean ||shaman stone||, That affects all ||spells||
No, each ||spell|| gets buffed a different amount
||so u went on the floating platforms?||
||Shade soul and vs 33%
Desolate dive 49%
The rest 50%||
This is average damage tho because for ||dive and ddark|| each hitbox is buffed differently
I thought it was only for the ||spirit and shade soul spell tbh||
u shud be able to enter from a higher platform
so he should get ||ddark||
yeah I'd advice that
the ||iframes with ddark|| are also really helpful with most bosses
||just found it and beat soul master, thank you that was a massive headache for me 🙏||
I thought i would have trouble beating ||soul master|| but i 1st tried him was he always this ez? is he supossed to have 3 lives or 5 lives
glad u figured it out
wdym 3 lives or 5 lives?
👍
uh
wait
3 or 5 lives 🤔
like he thinned up 3 times for me i thought he would be as hard as dung or dunk
how do I unlock ||godhome||
||dung ||got stunned like 5 times for me
I just finished hollowed night not at 100% though wonder if i should explore or play silksong now
keep playing.
Yeah ? Worried i might be burn out by the time i start it i heard its really hard
Ye
i require assistance as im stuck
Whatchu need
What percentage do you have?
i hate and love that nothing can be spoiled
I only love
What's weird is even ||dirtmouth|| is on the filter
wuty
I need a good ||P3 charm build||
i have no clue how to get to any of the greater beings and im stuck in ||ancient basin||
What's your playstyle? Also send your charms

Cool

What did you get from there so far
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh adhd? i forgor ik i opened the gate to the statue of the king
then i got side tracked and explored again like usual
Spoil that last part
||spells|| and nail to gain ||soul||
If I die and the dies again before getting my geo, do my geo go away
||There's an ability there that's required||
||double ||||jump|| but how tf you get it?
What ||charms|| I'm I missing
Beat ||broken vessel||
||I am at the part where I killed the first boss, failed knight.
Should I buy mask fragments from vendor or the lamp that is 1800||

Just look up a video
Mask frags

Spoil that message
Get ||lamp|| later when you need it
imma head back to city like you said rq
🧐

So we don't spoil the game for others
||shaman, spell twister, soul catcher, mark of pride, and for the last slot pick grubsong, nail master's glory, or steady body||
Ok
Because it ruins the experience
I have a friend who is the opposite.
He spoils while breathing
Still can’t beat it smh, idk how I beat it first try on my first playthrough lol
Open
It requires a ||simple key?||
Delete please
thanks, sorry
ye i bought it and used it elsewhere
so how do i get a second and the place that i got it says i bougth it all
what am i supposed to do with the damn|| rancid eggs?||
||dirtmouth and go right until you reach a door||
There will be an npc that retrieves your ||shade for a rancid egg||
Try just spamming ||ddark whenever possible||
It just leads to the ||sewers||
ohhhhh
thank you
Did you beat the boss in ||city of tears?||
I an tbh, I’m even using it to dodge attacks
i dont think so? if its the greater being or big bug man then no
Spoil that man

Also spoil that
What?
I'm so lost rn
||there was a shost you can challenge that uses 2 nails then 4 nails he was like excuted||
Yeah. What about him
Also spoil that bro

There’s a really important thing
Yeah keep playing. You don't need 100% but at least finish all the maps and get all the items
2 actually
||Tear and dreamer||

is it possible to go up there?
It’s from a later area
There's no ||dreamer there...||
im not sure myself, i tried everything but i couldnt get there
ohh
I was sooo closeee
oh
When I open the game settings, time keeps ticking? I'm trying to do 5 hour achievement
Where do I find a ||Pale Ore||, I've been exploring and I haven't found one
It gives access to the second part of COT
So basically
It’s not directly there ig
Hidden ish areas
What I’m doing dow pogoing once on his charging attack and then ddarking
I mean not really xd
what important thing?
You should be able to follow her if you parkour a bit but down into ||waterways|| is good asw I went there yesterday but you might need to backtrack later to finish up the region
An upgrade and access to an area
Multiple
okay
Hidden-ish?
Well. Show your full map
nothing seems to be here
||very top of peaks||
Bro you already looted everything lmao
How??
Wtv
Go to areas now
i.... good question actually
||The upgrades called ismas tear you need to kill a boss to assess it. It also gives access to the 2nd part of city of tears from an elevator||
|| do in need the unbreakable charms for 112%?||
No
If you need really exact locations just google
I'm not able to climb any higher than this
is it ||dung defender|| or that huge ahh ||jellyfish||?
||Double jump||
Pogo the background objects to go higher. Or just wait to ||get an ability||
Poop boi yeah
His death unlocks smthing
didnt needa heal
Well not death more like constipation
Btw what did you need originally?
An ||ability||? I got ||Dash, Super Dash, Crystal Heart, Mantis Claw||
Your missing one
uh, i didnt rlly need anything, i just figured i would explore ||royal waterway||s since i hadnt yet
i didnt know where else to go anyways
so i figured i needed to go there to get a new move or smth
None of those make it up there
||Search up ismas tear and city of tears part 2||
Also ||super dash is the same as crystal heart||
I'm guessing I have to enter ||Black Egg Temple|| to get it?
Oh yeah
Guys I finished killing ||hornet|| the First time… What Do I have to do now?(dm me)
oki
Nobody dms 😭
Ok srry im new
Okay, must be an area I haven't explored then

Finish exploring ||crossroads||

Have you seen the place in ||city of tears where you need to use a simple key?||
Yeah?
Open that

I already used a ||Simple Key|| to open the ||house where a woman talks about regrets or smth|| 😐
Later

||shaman and soul catcher||

||soul master||i cant beat him ive tried to win 10 other times
Practice

I beat him after like 5 tries with ||Compass, Thorns, and Dashmaster|| lmao
Amazing fighting build
?tag uncspoiler
No tag uncspoiler found.
S
Unnecessary spoiler bro
I literally just figured out how to get more charms
I only had 6 charms
How do I get more lives?
Imo the only charms I ever truly need are ||lengthening charms||
The reach one?
||Fragments spread across all the maps||
Theres ||2||
Oh
or buy them
Btw sorry ||Sly||, I didn't save him until 8 hours in because I was blind and didn't know I can go left from the charms shop
And how Can I collect more than 3charms (so some Charms needs 2 of These Buttons…) How Can I get more of These Buttons?
||notches. Find them or buy them from a certain shopkeep||
Any advice on ||NMK||
Ok
And they're called || notches||
Pray
Brother
Ok ty guys
just ||killed the last dreamer, now im going back into the temple of the black egg|| wish me luck gng ion know whats there but we'll see
Alr
Gl
im praying for you
i got the map for ||city of tears|| dont have ||double jump|| but the guy who hopped in the vc showed me how to ||pogo jump|| to skip it and get to the map

Yeah
All
|| u don't have need double jump for the map tho||
What charms u using
i got le tear
||Am i required to have grimmchild|| equiped?
Yes
welp he showed me a faster path?
True ig
||grimmchild, unbreakable strenght, quick nail, unbreakable health, grubsong||
and then i look at the map and see where i couldve gotten it like 4 hrs ago if i just went down a diff path in ||fungal||

|| u not using any spells ?||
Ok anyway
I prefer using nail
what location is ||crystal dash|| in? so i can head there after i beat the boss where i am
i almost beat ||soul master||
|| for the bats attack walk and jump over the first one
Then shade dash through the upper one
You'll land pretty close and get a few hits in
For the uppercut dash away from him and stand little bit under him but not directly under this will dodge the flames
Do note to time this will require a bunch of practice
For the fire pillars just walk in the direction to him if they're coming in the opposite side
U can either jump and get a hit in or abyss shriek but that is harder
At the last flame jump and dash through it
For the dive attack double jump/or long single jump and dash in the opposite direction
U can heal during his staggers
Or heal one mask fast during the floor spikes attack just move a little to the left or right ||
||Pufferfish attack same as before go the side and keep jumping ||
🧐
Generally this boss takes lot of patience and practice too so expect to spend some good time on it
On my first go it took me 5hrs
What
5?
~~ still do~~
nah it took me|| 30 mins from when I unlocked it, it's quite easy if you just pay attention and a really fun boss||
pretty much what herb said for the tips tho that "strat" is what i used too
finnaly i beat ||soul master||
nicee
|| on nkg impressive like I said I was rlly bad at my first playthrough||
🧐
fair enough xd
How do I get to here
|| it was harder than normal radiance for me||
i feel like hes really similar to ||normal grimm tho, no? he was just faster||
|| only p4 pure vessel is was harder ||
didn't have any issues adapting to the faster moveset
I just beat ||The Hollow Knight||... that was the best boss fight I have ever done
maybe i have a chance at ||p5 then 🙏||
|| ye I just took along time to adapt to the uppercut attack ||
Im crying rn
how much health he got?
1500 i think
thats the worst ngl
how much per hit do i do (with charms)
How do I go there
only attack i took dmg from
Ye felt a bit too much rng on where the flames wud land
I thought this place was for help
Maybe it was 4 hrs
i have no clue
Dang
it is
where specifically 🧐
can you like
take a screenshot and circle the area
that you
specifically would like to go to
Ok
my reaction time is actually horrrible so this might take a while
heh dw
after u get it down imo one of if not the best boss in the game
Ye like I said this attack takes practice
This is what fumbled most of my attempts
there was also this one, though i personally didn't really find a use for this
