[gusty cove]

yeah ||shriek|| deals more damage

[spare ocean]

I’m pretty sure.
Upgraded it hits four times where ||ddark|| hits two

[vivid lantern]

wait really?

[unborn bolt]

||how do you find the spell that shoots upward||

[vivid lantern]

i always though ||ddark|| was the highest in the game

[humble gulch]

Its in left area of || fog canyon||

[gusty cove]

nope

[humble gulch]

You need to swim

To get there i think

[spare ocean]

it’s generally more practical but it does in fact do less damage

[spare pawn]

where do you find the upgrades for allthe spells

[jade sluice]

no

[vivid lantern]

||ddark|| is three right?

[gusty cove]

although id say all of them are equally and uniquely useful.

[jade sluice]

you just need ||mantis claw for it im pretty sure||

[stoic gorge]

Hey yall im planning on doing a hollow knight plush haul on fangamer (as the game is super kewl) but i have no previous experience in shopping with fangamer so idk if i should watch out for any deals or plush combos to save a buck! Any tips?

[spare ocean]

||Shade Soul|| is in ||Soul Sanctum.|| ||Abyss Shriek|| is in the ||Abyss||

[vivid lantern]

knight hitbox, landing hitbox and the schockwave thingy

[spare ocean]

and i forgot where to find ||Ddark||

[jade sluice]

||crystal mound||

[gusty cove]

||ddark|| is in ||crystal peak||

[spare ocean]

I thought it was two but it MAY be three

[vivid lantern]

i heard it was three

[spare ocean]

maybe the impact, shockwave, and then the blast that goes upwards?

[gusty cove]

yes

thats it

i was gonna say that

[vivid lantern]

and combined with all three hits it’s like 90

with ||shaman ||ofc

[spare ocean]

I know ||shaman|| makes ||Shriek|| do 120 on all hits

[gusty cove]

yup

[spare ocean]

when combined

[vivid lantern]

Damn thats insane

[gusty cove]

when it comes to damage, ||shriek|| is best, but when it comes to versatility id say that goes to ||shade soul|| 100%.

although its easiest to hit the target with ||ddark||

so yeah theyre all good and you should use all of them

[vivid lantern]

(i just spam ||nail||)

[gusty cove]

USE ||SPELLS||!!!!!!

[vivid lantern]

deadass like right after i switched from ||shaman to mop|| i was soaring through ||p5||

still havent beat it but i’m WAY closer

[gusty cove]

yeah ||nail build|| > ||spell build|| for ||p5|| anyday

[vivid lantern]

i remember my first ||p5|| attempt i got all the way to ||markoth||

and then i kinda just forgot about the game for lile 3 months

[gusty cove]

for me i hadnt played in a while before my first attempt so i died at ||oro and mato|| lollll

[vivid lantern]

oops

and i came back after watching a fireb0rn video and started trying again but this time with ||shaman||

and i kept dying at the ||p1|| bosses

[gusty cove]

damn

[gentle lion]

Is there any way to kill the ||Crystal Crawlids|| without having to use ||Vengeful Spirit|| ?

They are just so annoying

[vivid lantern]

||nailbrothers|| my beloved

such a fun fight

[gusty cove]

have better timing honestly. just try to strike them whenever they dont have defenses up and youll get it soon enough

[gusty cove]

REALL

[vivid lantern]

the lazer crawling guys?

[gentle lion]

Yes

[vivid lantern]

or wait am i wrong

ohh

[gusty cove]

ok but ||sly|| 🤤🤤 one of my fave fights fr

[gusty cove]

OHH

THOSE GUYS

yeah theres no other way

[vivid lantern]

idk i just try to get past them as fast as possible

[gusty cove]

they always have defenses up

[vivid lantern]

idk why but i don’t like him

[gusty cove]

i can see why you dont

[vivid lantern]

small hitbox, huge sword, very unreactable moves

[gusty cove]

i just practiced him enough to the point of where i liked him

[vivid lantern]

that’s fair

[gentle lion]

So they only die by ||Vengeful Spirit|| ?

Fuck

[gusty cove]

and other ||spells|| but yeah thats it

[vivid lantern]

yeah by ||spells||

[primal stirrup]

Question- why is everyone doing ||this||

[vivid lantern]

but you’ll get used to avoiding them eventually

[gusty cove]

cause look what happens if i dont

im gonna try to say ||hornet||

look

[vivid lantern]

spoilers for newer players

[gusty cove]

[zinc thistle]

[vivid lantern]

[near vortex]

[zinc thistle]

[urban oyster]

||tram|| or some other that i can't remember

[zinc thistle]

[primal stirrup]

Sorry that it's blurry

[gusty cove]

ooh this ones tricky

hmm

how much would you say youre using ||spells||?

[primal stirrup]

A lot when it comes to him

[gusty cove]

which ||spells|| do you havr

[vivid lantern]

hmm i’d switch ||sprint master and grubsong|| for something like spell ||twister or longnail|| that way you can collect ||
soul|| more effectively

[twin thistle]

I would go for ||Shaman and Longnail||

[vivid lantern]

Do you have ||descending dark||

[zinc thistle]

FUCK THIS PLACE

[vivid lantern]

or the other version

[gentle lion]

So I got access to both ||Crystal Peak|| and ||Royal Waterways||

Decided to go to ||Crystal Peak|| first

And......uh. I got ||Super Dash|| ability

But......where should I get the ||Dream Nail|| then ? I heard you can get it by going to a place through ||Crystal Peak||

But I think I've almost seen everything that needs to be seen from that place

Also does this place even have a boss ? And why can't I find it ?

[primal stirrup]

||Vengeful Spirit [not upgraded] Desolate Dive, Howling Wraiths||

[urban oyster]

if you have the ||lantern|| then keep exploring

[gusty cove]

it does have a boss but its very easy. i dont remember the location for the item youre asking about tho

[vivid lantern]

yeah i’d use ||dive a bunch||

[primal stirrup]

I do use it a lot T vT

[vivid lantern]

wait does ||dive have i frames||?

[gusty cove]

ok

when they do the ||dive|| thing, ||dive|| on top of them. when they ||dash,|| ||do a fireball in the direction theyre dashing in.||

[vivid lantern]

yeah ok

[gentle lion]

Isn't ||Lantern|| the one that you buy from ||Sly|| for ||1800 Geos|| ?

[vivid lantern]

so that’s gonna be nice for clearing out the ||ghosts||

[spare pawn]

[gusty cove]

Personally I like using ||quickslash, mark of pride, long nail OR grub song + the no knock back charm||

[slate estuary]

Thx

[primal stirrup]

[vivid lantern]

Yk the place where you enter the place you get ||dream nail||?

[elder heron]

||nah nah hk started stabbing himself and i thought it was over then I died||

[slate estuary]

||I literally beat hk and radiance like 20 minutes ago😭||

[gentle lion]

If I buy the ||Lantern|| from ||Sly||

Can I finally explore dark areas ?

[slate estuary]

Yes

[elder heron]

[slate estuary]

8:45 for me

[loud mural]

nope, 3 more massive sawblades

[vivid lantern]

alr goodnight yall

[slate estuary]

If it's your first I recommend to stop fighting ||hk|| and try for ||true ending||

[near vortex]

Any tips for ||lost kin||

[valid seal]

Rest well

[valid seal]

Don't be in the line of his ||dashes||

And kill the ||little orange things he spawns|| asap

I don't think I'm gonna be in like any other channels other than helping people throughout the day

I might end up doing silksong help once I 100% it

But that's a while away

[ripe orbit]

These 2 underrated charms can be rly useful

[primal stirrup]

||Is there a boss battle....||

[novel kite]

guys how do i 2 cycle ||uumuu||

[valid seal]

||steady body sucks||

||spore shrooms alr||

[dusty owl]

What is a good charm build for ||Pantheon 1? I’m struggling with the nail masters to be specific||

[valid seal]

||fireball and desolate dive||

[ripe orbit]

I personally like using ||steady body||, it helps a LOT against ||hornet sentinel, lost kin, hive knight, ect||, together with ||quickslash|| it deals x2 dmg

[valid seal]

My charm build for all the ||pantheons was unbreakable heart, unbreakable strength, quicklslash, and mark of pride||

[coarse remnant]

||howlinf wraithes will be your best friend||

[valid seal]

It okay but its definitely a learning curve

[valid seal]

Surprised that didn't get flagged

[coarse remnant]

It’s bc I misspelled I think

[regal crest]

Guys what's ||the best charm build for kingdoms edge hornet? I got her to her last stagger but I always die before I can beat her||

[ripe orbit]

She requires some practice, but ||strength, quickslash, mark of pride|| def helps

[regal crest]

Where do you find mark?

[livid timber]

I cannot progress ANYWHERE in ||crystal peaks|| without dying
any tips? (||I have desolate dive||)

[regal crest]

Avoid enemies and run through, if you can defeat ||crystal guardian to get a bench||

He's an easy boss

Not much health

[livid timber]

okay
I'll try that boss
hopefully I have five masks when I get there lol

[regal crest]

Cool

[primal stirrup]

WHAT IS THAT!!!!

[ripe orbit]

My personal tip is using ||steady body|| really controversial charm, but I like using it against some bosses like ||hornet sentinel||

[tall geyser]

Where have you been so far? It would be good to explore other areas if you haven’t yet

[tall geyser]

Friend :)

[regal crest]

You can't really explore important areas without ||crystal dash||

[primal stirrup]

if I die....in blaming y'all for lying to me....

[livid timber]

seen ||my goat cornifer||, seen the ||boss bench guy|| and have been to some dark rooms (||no lumafly||)

[tall geyser]

Go get the lumafly goofy

Also upgrade your nail

[ripe orbit]

She’s the ||shaman|| who gave you ||fireball|| at the start of the game, this time interacting you’ll receive the ||best spell in the game||

[valid seal]

Its a different one but same species

[regal crest]

Where do I find?

[valid seal]

Same familial attachment

[livid timber]

got ||lv 1|| and I'll look up how to get outta here 😭 😭

[valid seal]

A parkour cave

[regal crest]

Where?

[tall geyser]

You can get level 2 technically but you gotta find a ||pale ore||

[rain cloud]

Whats this || room in colleseum of fools for? ||

[regal crest]

||that's where your shade goes when you die in the Colosseum||

Theyre nice enough to move it out of the arena

[rain cloud]

Oh okay thx

[tall geyser]

Holding your ||shade||

Nothing special there

[warm mirage]

Charms for ||base level Grimm||?

[tall geyser]

Aw man he’s easy
Maybe ||sharp shadow and longnail|| though

[shut sparrow]

can you show what you have?

ideally your inventory as well

[warm mirage]

All of them

[shut sparrow]

||are you fine with using nailarts?||

[warm mirage]

yeah

[valid seal]

||my tips are shade dash and charm build is unbreakable heart and strength, quickslash, and mark of pride||

||I use nail arts like never||

[shut sparrow]

||Then I'd use grimmchild, shaman, nailmaster's glory, catcher, twister + grubsong or quick focus||

[shut sparrow]

they need to use ||grimmchild||

[valid seal]

Oh yeah thats right

I took off ||unbreakable heart|| for them

[warm mirage]

Ok thanks

[primal stirrup]

I DID IT!!! I BEAT ||THE BROKEN VESSEL!!!||

[warm mirage]

I actually haven't upgraded ||greed and heart|| will ||still be there after I beat Grimm||

[orchid marten]

About to attempt ||gruz mother|| ,tips ???

[valid seal]

||shade dash||

[valid seal]

Yes

[orchid marten]

I dont have it

[valid seal]

They won't leave until you beat ||nkg and have all unbreakables otherwise she stays forever||

[valid seal]

I mean just don't get hit

Should be easy

[orchid marten]

Oh ok

When do I attack tho

[valid seal]

When in range

[orchid marten]

Alr

[sturdy chasm]

guys i just started playing the game

i have no idea what im doing

[shut sparrow]

explore

[tall geyser]

Explore!

That’s most of the game

[sturdy chasm]

I'm just Freeing the caterpillar things

[valid seal]

Do that yes

[shut sparrow]

do you have a map yet?

[sturdy chasm]

yeah

[valid seal]

Enter every room

[sturdy chasm]

im trying

[shut sparrow]

then look at that and see what you can find in the unexplored parts

[valid seal]

Also the holes in the wall of the map show rooms you haven't been in yet

Plus the grey areas are rooms ||cornifer|| explored that you haven't been yet

[foggy knot]

pls tell me how to do this section im so lost and confused

[valid seal]

There's not much to say beyond don't get hit

[foggy knot]

idk how to get to the 2nd part tho i always get hit??

i neevr can find a opening

[shut sparrow]

||jump when the saw is at the bottom. Don't dash. If it doesn't work then you can also try pogoing the saw in the middle for the right timing||

[clever forge]

hello guys im here to help yall

[valid seal]

Yeah do that

[valid seal]

Hello

[foggy knot]

which one??

[shut sparrow]

the first

[valid seal]

That middle area I think

[sturdy chasm]

i also saw ||hornet|| in the place with the ||green water||

[shut sparrow]

then explore there

[valid seal]

Yeah chase her

Overall just explore

[sturdy chasm]

She dipped-

[foggy knot]

can you circle which one pls- idk which ones which

[valid seal]

Don't mind the main story currently

[sturdy chasm]

i couldn't get up there too

[valid seal]

I can't remix the image sry

[valid seal]

Yeah you go around

[shut sparrow]

then explore at the bottom

[valid seal]

Just explore the area

[foggy knot]

so do i ||dash|| or just jump normally

[valid seal]

Search everything and unlock the full map possible

[shut sparrow]

#hk-help message

[lime owl]

Are the ||dreamers in deepnest, city of tears and jellyfish place optional?||

[shut sparrow]

no

[valid seal]

||Not if you trying to finish the game||

[shut sparrow]

it's the main story

[foggy knot]

now what o.o

[lime owl]

Ok ty

[valid seal]

Keep progressing

[sturdy chasm]

i jumped and didn't make it

[shut sparrow]

you can stand in between the next one and the one after that

[spare pawn]

yall have tips for ||grimm?? normal grimm, not nkg||

[sturdy chasm]

also i don't know how to ||dash||

[valid seal]

Its hard to help with that area cause it's pretty much just don't get hit the whole time

[valid seal]

You don't unlock it till later

Overall don't worry about the future stuff

[clever forge]

can u show me ur charms?

[valid seal]

Just explore and fight everything in this stage

[shut sparrow]

what do you struggle with?

[spare pawn]

yeah one sec

him in general lol

[candid sequoia]

I'm trying to beat ||steel soul|| ||100%||

[spare pawn]

hes really hard to beat for some reason? i think its just cuz idk his patterns yet

[candid sequoia]

can I do it?

[spare pawn]

and im very very bad at learning from my mistakesxD

[valid seal]

I used ||unbreakable heart and strength, quickslash, and mark of pride for them|| it's my in general build

For like all bosses and even general gameplay

[shut sparrow]

You're playing a metroidvania. This is about exploration. If you are expecting a linear game then you're playing the wrong one. This game is about getting lost, often not knowing what to do and learning to read the map

[spare pawn]

i dont have the ||unbreakable charms||

[valid seal]

Then I suggest farming geo for it

[spare pawn]

blegh.

geo farming

[valid seal]

Cause it helps a lot

[shut sparrow]

imo you don't need them

at all

[valid seal]

I farm the ||husk guards|| in ||kings station||

[clever forge]

you may have sufficient arctifacts to sell and get 15k

[spare pawn]

||i gave the absolute worst one to divine xD i gave her greed first||

[valid seal]

Yeah that's true

[spare pawn]

mayhap

[valid seal]

They just help in gameplay a lot

[spare pawn]

ill look

one second im tryna launch

[sturdy chasm]

dang

[valid seal]

This early in the game don't really ask for help

Just figure your way around until you find the next thing

[shut sparrow]

imo never do

[spare pawn]

my current ||charms||, plus other inventory

[valid seal]

Around mid game you can probably ask for tips on bosses but just exploration do it yourself

[shut sparrow]

are you fine with using ||nailarts?||

[spare pawn]

i only have like 1.5k geo rn cuz i spent it all on ||sly||

[spare pawn]

i guess? they take a while to charge even with ||nailmasters glory||

[valid seal]

I already said my charm build

And otherwise I don't have much to say

[foggy knot]

what do i do on the ||3 chainsaws at once||?

[valid seal]

Just keep trying

[shut sparrow]

you have enough time after every one of ||Grimm's attacks||

[valid seal]

||Dash||? I haven't done ||white palace|| in so long

[candid sequoia]

if I die ||in steel soul in the white palace, does it kill me like normal steel soul would||

[foggy knot]

this i have 0 idea what to do here ||I have shade cloak but idk if thats good enough to get this||

[spare pawn]

should i ditch ||thorns+sharp shadow and put on quickslash||

[valid seal]

I suggest it

[spare pawn]

alr

[candid sequoia]

yes

[valid seal]

But it depends on the playstile

Style*

[shut sparrow]

||then use nailmaster's glory, shaman/quickfocus, catcher, grimmchild, grubsong.||

[valid seal]

I played very aggressive with almost only ||nail attacks|| with like no ||spells or nail arts||

[foggy knot]

does one know when to go

[valid seal]

I maximized nail damage and just tried not to get hit

[valid seal]

Just ||dash|| over them

[vocal scaffold]

I believe you can pogo off of them

[foggy knot]

no, they move up and down

[valid seal]

Yeah I think that's also possible

[shut sparrow]

||thorns and sharp shadow are both horrible charms. Though if ur using nailarts (which you should) qslash isn't great either||

[valid seal]

Oh they do?

[foggy knot]

ye

[valid seal]

||dash that's all I have to say||

[candid sequoia]

can ||lost kin|| first try ||soul master||?

[shut sparrow]

||you can crystal dash||

[valid seal]

Yes

[foggy knot]

;-; when do i time thatr

[valid seal]

||Um yeah whenever they go down just dash across really fast||

[spare pawn]

personally i despise ||catcher|| lol

[shut sparrow]

what do you mean by that?

[shut sparrow]

why

it's incredibly good

[spare pawn]

||i dash a LOT so i like sharpshadow, plus i just like thorns generally even though most dont. im just talking in general for this fight should i drop them||

[valid seal]

What's ||catcher||?

[spare pawn]

i just never see a difference imo

[vocal scaffold]

go as soon as you have clearance, like before they even start going down?

[spare pawn]

why bother for something i dont see

[shut sparrow]

||both are generally horrible. No matter your playstyle. If you're asking for advice that's part of my advice. Use whatever you want of course, but you were asking||

[shut sparrow]

because it's good

[spare pawn]

also for those ||saws, try a well timed cdash maybe||

[hidden osprey]

can anybody send me 1 dollar bc i forgot about tax when buying hk and i dont have enough

[valid seal]

Go fund me time

[spare pawn]

its not really though if you dont tend to see it-- I get enough soul as is so idk man most pros dont even use it

[shut sparrow]

||soul catcher. It increases your soul gain from slashes by ~27%||

[valid seal]

|| inever used the soul gaining charms||

[shut sparrow]

I'm good enough to tell you that it is good. And what you see doesn't really mean anything

[shut sparrow]

they are mostly pretty strong

[valid seal]

I pretty much brute forced everything through sheer perserverence

I didn't optimize beyond nail damage

[candid sequoia]

why does ||leg eater|| make me pay 86 geo, ON THE DOT, to "||see something nice||"

[shut sparrow]

||"most pros" use spell twister instead in most cases because they use a lot of spells usually. Since you likely don't use that many spells catcher is probably better||

[shut sparrow]

likely to make it feel more off

[fading trellis]

worth

[valid seal]

||Cause leg eater is a scam artist||

||the fragile charms kinda suck before the Grimm troupe anyways||

[candid sequoia]

but they're really good ||on steel soul||

[valid seal]

Yeah that's true

[candid sequoia]

and guess what

I'm playing it

I'm on ||soul master||

[spare pawn]

||i just dont personally like catcher, and i tend to use a lot of spells but from what ive seen of grimm, he doenst stay still nearly enough for those lol so im just gonna wail on him with a nail build prob.||

||catcher is mostly for healing, not for spells. And ideally you heal a lot because he gives you a lot of healing options. You can pretty much always use at least a vengeful spirit if you like so spells work well too.||

[valid seal]

||thats unlocked after beating the hollow knight|| if you don't know what it is probably don't keep looking

[shut sparrow]

that's a spoiler

[candid sequoia]

gng, tbh, ||soul master is harder than nosk||

aruge if you disagree

[shut sparrow]

||nosk has almost double the health||

[valid seal]

||nosk is much simpler though||

||they are around equal to me||

[candid sequoia]

he gets it

[spare pawn]

i know what it is lmao i was saying that cause i figured its what they were talking about

[shut sparrow]

imo its attacks are harder to dodge

[spare pawn]

cuz ||soul master is not a thing i dont believe, not as a mode at the very least||

[fading trellis]

wait till

[valid seal]

[candid sequoia]

[fading trellis]

[candid sequoia]

guys, why is the ||mode where you're more fragile, called steel soul? It's more of glass soul mode||

[valid seal]

||my charm build was unbreakable heart and strength, quickslash, mark of pride. Its exclusively nail optimized though since I don't use nail arts or spells often||

[valid seal]

||cause your soul is trapped in steel and can't escape to be a shade||

[candid sequoia]

||what is wrong with your soul cantainer?||

[foggy knot]

||one comes out the floor in the middle|| is this even possible what do i do here i tried ||shade dashing|| didnt work.

[shut sparrow]

can you show your charm inventory and normal inventory?

[foggy knot]

can someone tell me the timing of this

[shut sparrow]

you can stand in between them

[foggy knot]

for a split second.

[shut sparrow]

||you can just dash when both are gone||

[foggy knot]

it did not work at all last time ive been here for 10 minutes tryna find the timing

[shut sparrow]

maybe it'll work next time

[pine axle]

Where do I go after this

[foggy knot]

yeah i died. nothing works is it actually impossible.

[shut sparrow]

explore with your new ability

in older areas

[pine axle]

How

I can't leave the big freaking ||boss room||

Even when I go left, I just go down floors and there's a wall I can't break

[shut sparrow]

it isn't

[foggy knot]

nothings working.

[shut sparrow]

||there's a breakable floor next to the soul totem in the top left||

[pine axle]

K

[shut sparrow]

I told you how to do it. You'll get it eventually. Also idk how exactly the part to the right of it looks but if there are no more obstacles you can also ||crystal dash||

[pine axle]

||I'm near the grub, but here's just more walls||

[foggy knot]

theres no way i can ||c-dash its impossible with such lil time.||

[humble gulch]

Are all of them required || to get true ending||

[wet spire]

[pine axle]

Oh I figured it out

[shut sparrow]

||cdash from the safe spot in between them||

[foggy knot]

Where is this "safe spot"

[shut sparrow]

where you're standing here

[foggy knot]

theres a middle spike to that doesnt sync with the others

this one

[livid pollen]

is this good for the ||path of pain||

[shut sparrow]

how is that important

[shut sparrow]

I wouldn't recommend ||dash and sprintmaster||

[livid pollen]

why?

[torpid wadi]

Useless

[livid pollen]

oh ok

[torpid wadi]

You can ||only dash once in the air anyway so it changes nothing||

[shut sparrow]

||dashmaster: you accidentally dash down a lot
sprintmaster: there's no time you're actually on the ground||

[livid pollen]

this better?

[shut sparrow]

||you can use that, yes. Though imo use deep focus instead of hiveblood||

[livid pollen]

ok

[torpid wadi]

||hiveblood is safer deep focus is quicker||

[rich vine]

||Infinite soul totems at every point||

[shut sparrow]

also some people dislike having ||mark of pride. While I don't get the argument, you might wanna use like heart or something instead||

wtf teo

[torpid wadi]

I thought some don't have any

[rich vine]

So ||soul|| isn't an issue

[rich vine]

Uh....One point actually

[torpid wadi]

I haven't done ||white palace|| in a while i forgot

[rich vine]

Me either lol

[shut sparrow]

1 or 2 spots. And you'd have to get hit 60 times or something until you actually run out. Which, even though seems reasonable, is a lot so it doesn't really happen

[torpid wadi]

Ok

[torpid wadi]

No||n||senf u should sleep

[shut sparrow]

I'm tired tho

[torpid wadi]

I can't think of which one that is off the top of my head. What region?

[neat karma]

||shaman stone||

[wet spire]

|| the one to the right of crossroads? ||

[pine axle]

Yes

[neat karma]

||longnail is mid at best, lifeblood is ass, shaman stone is op and quickfocus is quite good||

[pine axle]

Got em both

[torpid wadi]

||longnail is alright early game||

but ||shaman plus soul cathcer|| is generally bbetter

just get ||shaman|| for now

[neat karma]

Imo its not better than ||soul catcher|| so its just a waste of money

[foggy knot]

||i have the void heart do i HAVE to have it equipped for radiance ending? or no||

[valid seal]

||you can't exactly unequip it||

[slate estuary]

||void heart is 0 charm notches and you can't unequip it??||

[foggy knot]

||oop is it giving me any benefits?||

[haughty oriole]

Isn't (actual spoiler for later on) ||spell twister|| just better though

[slate estuary]

||Makes your shade 1 tap and it no longer attacks you||

[valid seal]

||technically it's the shade dash but some trickery can get it off and shade dash stays||

[torpid wadi]

than ||soul catcher? for spell builds yes||

and in general yes

[loud mural]

can 2 hits with ||grubsong|| heal one mask?

[torpid wadi]

no

||grubsong gives 15 soul it requires 33 to heal||

[valid seal]

Minor spoilers but || the way to get it off is with the charm binding in pantheons you have to sit on a bench and check your charms and when you return it's off||

[humble gulch]

Theres 11 slots max right? So that ||+ quick focus, compass for generally and long nail would be good endgame right||

[haughty oriole]

Alright, here's why I'm actually here. ||I just finished p5 with the nail binding earlier today and I'm planning on doing soul next, I usually run with strength, quick slash, shaman stone, and spell twister. Spell twister wouldn't really do much though, it'd still need 3 hits to get another spell even after casting with less. What I should I use instead? Right now I'm leaning towards unbreakable heart or whatever it's called||

[torpid wadi]

the best endgame (combat) loadout is ||shaman spell twister strength and quick slash||

[valid seal]

This is like a really late game charm build so if your still early game don't look but ||unbreakable heart and strength, quickslash, and mark of pride where my main charms||

[torpid wadi]

solid but dont forget about ||spells||

[loud mural]

but in ||white palace I've been getting hit a lot going through the spikes and sawblades and stuff, i used deep focus and grubsong, it's practically infinite? i can get hit 2 times but grubsong can collect soul, and the same soul can be used to heal 2 masks with deep focus||

[topaz reef]

||how do I get into queens garden. The path from green path is blocked, the path from fog canyon is blocked.||

[valid seal]

Yeah I brute forced without ||spells or nail arts|| the whole game

[torpid wadi]

it shouldnt be. ||grubsong gives 15 and healing takes 33||

[valid seal]

I used them sometimes but not often

[neat karma]

||Longnail is borderline useless past early||

[loud mural]

well i did have more than half soul before getting hit so ig it's more like just consuming 3 soul for each heal

[valid seal]

You get 11 soul per hit so yeah probably

[humble gulch]

Im not really earlygame so using || ,compass,shaman,soul catcher and long nail once i get one more slot||

[torpid wadi]

||grubsong gives 15||

[haughty oriole]

Damn, this got buried insanely fast. I probably should've waited until the current conversation had calmed down

[valid seal]

Sorry I wanted to read it but I got caught up

[fading trellis]

||i think you can get it from deepnest, or you need shade cloak to get in from greenpath, or you need cdash for fog canyon/ismas tear because it might be too hard to perform qga for you||

[haughty oriole]

No worries. Like I said, I should've waited

[torpid wadi]

or cause nobody here has experience with it lmao

Thx chuck, all aboard the pain train

Where do i find the clown of this game

[valid seal]

Im not sure probably had the same limitations as modding on an Xbox or other console of there isn't really access to files or an internet to download altered files and stuff

[haughty oriole]

Idk, but if you need a guide for modding the switch itself I can give that. One of the small communities I'm staff in is a zelda modding server

[haughty oriole]

Switch is broken wide open

[valid seal]

||howling cliffs in a breakable wall there's a torch that unlocks the circus in dirtmouth||

[valid seal]

||I think so I'm not sure||

[haughty oriole]

You can access files on the sd card of the switch on your computer by plugging it in and running a program in hekate, and that's how you'd primarily add mods to it

[wary geyser]

does ||GPZ|| deal 2 masks dmg in ||P5|| (i forgor)

[eternal mirage]

Aight

[haughty oriole]

Nope

[valid seal]

||talking gives base Grimm child but as you upgrade via flames you have to fight Grimm||

[hearty void]

can some give me a good build for ||watcher knights||

[wary geyser]

oh wow then i dont get why ppl find him so hard i can clear him pretty consistently on ||HoG||

[valid seal]

||quickslash and mark of pride and then you can put pretty much whatever in the other slots||

[hearty void]

ty

[valid seal]

||depends on the build but you could do like shaman stone, soul catcher, or more lail damage||

[haughty oriole]

||Because he's kinda RNG and it's difficult to adapt to it and optimize, so taking less damage for whatever's next is hard and it's even worse with bindings||

It's not just about clearing him, but clearing him and being prepared

[wary geyser]

i agree with him being rng but i have found facetanking him literally js works if u have the right build. i gotta agree he does leave u pretty low tho

[haughty oriole]

||Plus you might start with less health because no floor markoth is also difficult to learn and he's right before||

[humble gulch]

|| quick focus mark of pride and smth other is what i used,did it 2nd try||

[valid seal]

||it's cause of the couple bosses right before them, you clear gpz relatively easy at high health but I always got to really low health from the other bosses||

||like uumuu I always went to like 5 masks from uumuu||

[wary geyser]

does ||markoth|| do 2 dmg in ||p5||? (my last run was ages ago since i focused on ||steel soul 100%|| instead sorry for the dumb questions)

[haughty oriole]

||And that's a perfect example of what you don't want to do in a pantheon. You've gotta learn to fight him normally, or you're gonna lose a lot of runs 20-30 minutes in||

[valid seal]

||I don't think so but there not being a floor made them suck for me||

[haughty oriole]

||All bosses are the attuned version in the ascended arena, so it'd still be 1||

[warm mirage]

Help with ||Grimmkin nightmare for some reason it's harder than most bosses to me||

[wary geyser]

||so basically the only 2 heart bosses are enraged guardian, traitor lord, sly last phase, failed champion, nkg, pv and absrad|| right?

[valid seal]

||lot more than 2 but that's up to the person playing the game||

[haughty oriole]

||Sly is 1 for all, everything else is right though. Do you know the trick for cheesing failed champion after a stagger?||

[valid seal]

||nkg, sly and traitor lord are pretty easy to me||

[wary geyser]

huh

[wary geyser]

||i do not. i normally find him easy peasy given hes literally js fast false knight. but sure tell me id appreciate it||

[valid seal]

||I actually don't know this I just kill them||

[wary geyser]

||nkg is js practice, sly is easy enough when u get him down and traitor lord is particularly easy so i agree yea||

[urban oyster]

||don't focus on healing much unless you are in stagger makes you more vulnerable to attacks and makes you lose more than gain||

[wary geyser]

im gonna try ||P5|| again today since i forced myself to practice ||NKG|| for like 3 hours and now he is decently easy to me. im kinda scared i might have gotten rusty at ||PV|| though...

[wet spire]

best of luck gng

[wary geyser]

thank you

[valid seal]

||pv is like getting 3 heads in a row in 3 coin flips for me||

[warm mirage]

Ok

[valid seal]

To lose*

[haughty oriole]

||You will never go into NKG without full health and soul again. Any time failed champion is staggered, there's obviously a timer before he gets back up. It resets if you hit him, even if you hit the body and don't damage him. So, you can do dream nail > pogo > heal > pogo > dream nail etc. and get fully healed and fill up your soul. With the extra soul, you can dump some spells into him and stagger him easily and do it all again||

||Stagger 3 is infinite, so you don't need to pogo then||

[valid seal]

Anyways I will be taking my leave for a little bit, if you want my opinion on something you can ping me I'm fine with pings

Otherwise everybody else can help

Before I start hollow knight , y’all got any guides to 112% , i made a mistake with silksong not doing almost everything before going to new areas and i want a full guide in 1 video with decent commentary

[urban oyster]

||strength quick slash long nail||

[haughty oriole]

||You can keep dream nailing him until you're at full soul though. I don't get what you mean||

[wary geyser]

use a save analyzer

[uneven raptor]

alright will do

[errant pulsar]

What’s that

[wary geyser]

||no yea ik what ure sayin dont worry i might have js not expressed myself right||

[urban oyster]

||can swap long nail for steady body and grub song||

[wary geyser]

https://reznormichael.github.io/hollow-knight-completion-check/

[errant pulsar]

Yeah I’m playing on a switch 2 and that will brick me

[uneven raptor]

why is it called Reznor Michael? Like Michael (Trent) Reznor??? Nine Inch Nails reference???

[modest skiff]

Guys, help, where do i find ||grimm troupe|| i need help, please :c

[uneven raptor]

||southern howling cliffs||, hit a right wall.

[modest skiff]

And where is that

Im so lost

[uneven raptor]

gng i dont know the exact coordinates

[wet spire]

|| left of dirtmouth. if you have stag nest its there ||

[modest skiff]

I just left ||kingdoms edge||

[haughty oriole]

This isn't exactly helpful with that, but once you've gotten better at dodging the ||puffer fish attack thingy||, one small thing I like to do is ||at the start, dream nail during his bow for some extra soul, and then stab him. He'll shriek, and you can stab him one more time after he shrieks. Then, he'll go straight to a pufferfish attack and you can use abyss shriek immediatley and then dash out of the way and start dodging. You get a nice chunk of damage right at the start.||

[modest skiff]

Ty gng, is it at the very top?

[loud mural]

so where to now? to the right is just the ||glowing egg, to the left is back down where i came from||

[haughty oriole]

||do a violence||

[wet spire]

you go to the top to get to the other side. i can show an image if u want

[wet spire]

tickle him

[modest skiff]

Please yes

[uneven raptor]

how do i get better at dodging it?

[loud mural]

ah ok nvm lmao thanks

[uneven raptor]

||grimm keeps visciously touching me||

[haughty oriole]

Are you jumping straight up and down or moving side to side as well?

Because side to side helps a lot if you're not already

[uneven raptor]

oh nice

[urban oyster]

what are the hard parts

[uneven raptor]

wait can i ||mantis claw|| the walls?

[wet spire]

if you're in a cooked position (say you || double jump|| and you're falling to an orb, just remember you can ||downspell|| for iframes)

[modest skiff]

Oh good, i just entered ||kings pass||

[uneven raptor]

OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THAT THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME

[haughty oriole]

Maybe, idk. I usually stay on the ground and just look at the 3 lowest rows and that works for me

[uneven raptor]

you're my hero

[coarse remnant]

Use ||fire ball and abyss shriek||

[exotic sedge]

ok, so i'm finally at ||108% completion, which means i just have the pantheons left. Before i start though, i want to be sure of my charm loadout. this is what I have so far. what do you guys think?||

[uneven raptor]

I LASTED A MINUTE THAT'S MY NEW RECORD

[loud mural]

so i got the ||white fragment,|| is the other half also in the ||white palace so i have to explore more|| or nah

[eternal mirage]

No

[charred badge]

if I were to use a ||Dream Gate|| after clearing all the enemies along my ||Delicate Flower route||, would they respawn?

[wet spire]

just bench

[eternal mirage]

||the white lady has the other half||

[exotic sedge]

||dreamgate|| kills the flower i think

[eternal mirage]

It does

[haughty oriole]

Oop

[wet spire]

would not recommend that

[charred badge]

I meant to get back to pick it up.

[haughty oriole]

||You definitely want strength in there. Maybe put it instead of quick focus||

[exotic sedge]

ive gotten way too used to it, ||it's been on for most of the run. I used to have strength instead of quick slash||

[exotic sedge]

what would you recommend?

i could swap health with strength i suppose

[modest skiff]

How much is ||unbreakable strength||?

[haughty oriole]

It's not actually that hard to shift away from, focus on healing during staggers only to begin with and mix in other times when you get even more accustomed to all the bosses

[loud mural]

did the game expect us to discover ||overcharmed just by spamming and overloading the charm notches? 😭 because i just found out. also what does it even do actually||

[eternal mirage]

15-16k

[wet spire]

15k

[eternal mirage]

You take double damage

[exotic sedge]

i guess

[haughty oriole]

||You take double damage but can go over slightly||

[sick pebble]

what am i supposed to do with this statue or the guy sleeping upstairs

[haughty oriole]

||People who do damageless runs use it because, well, it's just free real estate then||

[exotic sedge]

i wonder if anyone's done the ||pantheon while overcharmed lol||

[coarse remnant]

How do you guys know your exact percentage of the game?

[haughty oriole]

Look at the speedruns man

[wet spire]

|| strength and shaman are a must have, and i think sharpshadow is worse than no crest. the general loadout is usually qslash + strength + shaman, then for last 2 a combination of longnail / grubsong and/or sbody and/or nailmasters glory ||

[haughty oriole]

Shit gets crazy

[eternal mirage]

||worldsense||

[wet spire]

theyve done them no hit which is harder than that

[haughty oriole]

||After you beat the game, you can see it||

[wet spire]

isnt it just before? at the bench

[exotic sedge]

i wont get value out of ||shaman, since i don't use spells ||

[eternal mirage]

It is

[eternal mirage]

Bro use them

[sick pebble]

what am i supposed to do

[wet spire]

alr but still || strength|| is an absolute musthave and i would never recommend || sharpshadow||
i personally despise it but i still think its bad regardless

[coarse remnant]

||dream nail||

[wet spire]

|| dnail, thats what those essence bubbles mean ||

[eternal mirage]

||dreamnail||

[exotic sedge]

as for ||SS, its become part of my playstyle to dash through charge attacks to deal damage and get outta the way||

[fervent hamlet]

Any tips for ||traitor lord? I have sword level 3, all slash forms and all spells plus upgraded soul shot or whatever and most charms||

[haughty oriole]

Ye, realized as I hit send

[fervent hamlet]

Btw this might as well be 4 cus I’m bouta upgrade

[sick pebble]

huh. alright

[wet spire]

and you can do that without the charm for all but like 2 bosses. its not mandatory to remove it but i think the muscle memory and 2 slot usage of it is worse than none at all

preference at the end of the day

[eternal mirage]

It works great against ||pv||

[wet spire]

disagree but ik some people do like it against him

[haughty oriole]

||pogo twice, get a little in front of him and above him for when he dashes/dives forward, pogo twice, repeat||

[exotic sedge]

i've tried to switch out ||Sharp shadow before, i always feel like theres something missing. you would be surprised how often it comes in handy||

[fervent hamlet]

Thx

[haughty oriole]

I think I might have a clip I can share if ya want

[wet spire]

which isnt worth restraining yourself for the rest of the ||pantheon||

[haughty oriole]

Or I might not

[exotic sedge]

so you're saying that having it is worse than just wasting two slots?

[wet spire]

ive used it before and i know for a fact its bad, thats just your muscle memory. but like i said its preference and i mostly just reccomend || strength ||

[wet spire]

yes

but if its engrained into your playstyle dont swap it out

[exotic sedge]

"know" is a strong word, the whole point is that it's customizable

[wet spire]

well i know || strength|| is better than ||defenders crest||, its a strong word but the right one

[slate estuary]

||Do i have to do pantheon 1-5 for 112%||

[wet spire]

regardless i gave you my advice, just chuck in || strength|| as its super important

[wet spire]

1-4

[slate estuary]

💔

[eternal mirage]

5 is unnecessary

[wet spire]

best of luck gng

[haughty oriole]

It’s actually not too bad and really satisfying once you get it

And then you’ll be hooked and do 5 anyways

That’s just how it goes

[slate estuary]

It is bad cause I'm buns at this game💔

[crimson furnace]

True

But ehhhhhh

But im not rlly in the mood to do 5

[wet spire]

nah you got it

[crimson furnace]

I could do it

[wet spire]

just gotta practise in ||hog||
