[fallow raptor]

it's a difficult skip and i absolutely hate ||the ai for the shades||

[fallow raptor]

||also maybe try to parry their swings if possible||

[jade sluice]

||use shaman, quickslash, nailmaster glory, grubsong and steady body (or replace grub and steady with spell twister)

you can use nail arts to insta kill the annoying flying enemies like primal aspids and other enemies with not a lot of hp||

[fallow raptor]

||really helps with the skip, especially if you don't have any movement upgrades||

guys did you explore this?||

[wicked forge]

yes

[icy apex]

any tips foir ||uumu||

[wicked forge]

keep moving around and just attack when ||quirrel deflates it||

[jade sluice]

well not really

just dodge

[icy apex]

thanks guys

[jade sluice]

that's all you can do

in that fight

[minor dune]

the bottom left and right platforms are always free whenever he does the all surrounding electric attack. after that just keep running, and attack once quirell attacks

[jade sluice]

spoiler tag it..,.,.

[stone wraith]

Hey guys, I'm new to this server. I have a friend who is currently fighting ||Nightmare King Grimm||. I just want your honest opinions on how good this Charm Loadout is?

[jade sluice]

is this serious?

it can't be

[stone wraith]

Is|| Glowing Womb|| good for this?

Since we can't really Heal

[jade sluice]

all of those charms ||except grubsong|| suck

and you're ||overcharmed||

i can't take this seriousltly

[stone wraith]

My bad, I thought we were cooking

[minor dune]

ok this is obv a troll

how do u not recognize that

[jade sluice]

shincerely

it looks real

him failing to use spoiler tags 2 times made me think its real

[minor dune]

...

i hate this stupid bot

[stone wraith]

What ||Charms|| do you guys suggest for ||Nightmare King Grimm||?

[wicked forge]

ill still be able to give the ||flower to grey mourners lover even after giving it to elderbug and quirrel right?|| 🤔

[livid timber]

is there a way to continue the ||crystal dash|| in ||ancient basin||?

[paper glen]

how do i get to this mf

[livid timber]

is there a ||bench|| around? if so, rest there.

I think there are some ||bugs|| around who will encourage you to sit there

[safe hedge]

Inside the big room, and sit on the bench

[minor dune]

find a ||bench||

[fervent hamlet]

Literally standing at the entrance

[thick wing]

how many || spells || are there?

[fervent hamlet]

3 but all can be upgraded

[thick wing]

so || cast, dive and wraiths? ||

[fervent hamlet]

Yup

[thick wing]

oh

i thought there would be 4

ty

[fervent hamlet]

Np

[robust rampart]

Thanks anyone who helped me before, I beat the game

Yippie.

[thick wing]

gg!

[robust rampart]

I shall now go for the ||trye ending||

And I will not touch the ||path of pain|| with a 20-foot pole

[tardy quest]

Finally beat her after 50 tries

I was surprised, I was expecting it to be more like the first fight with her

Also, swear to god that’s the only time I managed to hit her with one of those

My strategy did have one thing in common with first time: I waited to see what she did after each attack before moving. She telegraphs like crazy

[paper glen]

||what is the best charm build for nail damage?||

[rapid canopy]

ok I really do apologize but this is absolutely insane I have never seen anything like this before. ||I absolutely positively need help on pure knight. Please do not give me advice on charms, because it makes no difference. How do you get good at this fight. Please help||

[tardy quest]

||Unbreakable strength||

[paper glen]

and

[tardy quest]

||Longnail, unbreakable strength, the one charm that extends invincibility after getting hit||

[shrewd sentinel]

|| im having a hard time beating the trial of the fool, any charm combos and tips you guys can suggest? ||

[rough scaffold]

||use nail arts||

[rapid canopy]

any advice?

[tardy quest]

Oh, and ||grubsong||

[paper glen]

im using ||Unbreakable strength, quickslash, mark of pride rn. Idk what to do with the last 2 nothces||

[tardy quest]

||Longnail or grubsong. Longnail doubles the reach of ur basic quick attacks and grubsong gives souls every time you get hit||

I’ve found both make a surprisingly big difference for me

[paper glen]

okay ty

[rapid canopy]

Any help on ||PV?||

[sly surge]

||Guys what should I do to prepare for p5? (PLEASE dont say hall of gods radiant i dont wanna do that)||

[fervent hamlet]

I beat her second try

Harder then the final boss fr

||(The first ending one)||

[fervent hamlet]

||hall of gods radiant||

[sly surge]

Not funny gng

Did you even get to ||godhome|| yet

[icy apex]

i ||defeated the hollow knight and now the game ended?? what did i do wrong||

[rough scaffold]

#sk-discussion

or #sk-help

@mortal heath Delete from here

[icy apex]

can someone help me

[rough scaffold]

it doesnt end just that the credits show up and then you can continue

[icy apex]

but what do i have to do now? i want to ||challenge grimm, radiance etc||

[modest skiff]

For the love of ||PALE KING|| i need help with the ||trial of conquers||

I dont know what ||charm combo|| to use

[harsh briar]

I'm having trouble with ||Pure Vessel's "Void Tendrils"|| attack. I can't seem to jump and react in time and I keep mistaking it for the ||sword shoot|| attack that he uses.

[harsh briar]

Anybody got any tips that could help me with this?

[rough scaffold]

you can play the same file after credits end

[icy apex]

but what do i have to do for challenge them and get ||a different ending?|| just explore?

[rough scaffold]

I am sitting in class sry.

[harsh briar]

If your looking for the next ending, your gonna have to upgrade ||Kingsoul|| into ||Voidheart||, this is an area in the ||abyss|| that opens up after obtaining both halves of ||Kingsoul||.

Once you make it to this weird glass ||black egg, Dream Nail|| it and make it to the top of the ||abyss||. After a short cut scene shortly after, you can get the charm.

This allows for 3 more ||endings!||

[icy apex]

thank you

[thick wing]

compared to the ||soul master||, how much harder is the ||broken vessel||

[harsh briar]

||I would say the constant enemy spawns could pose some difficulty, but besides that they're basically kinda the same on difficulty levels.

I would still play it safe and use Defenders Crest and have at least a Channeled Nail though.||

[thick wing]

|| Sorry I don't have the defenders crest; i am using the nailmaster's glory, soul catcher and crystal focus ||

[shut sparrow]

quite a bit

[shut sparrow]

please make sure they are already familiar with the stuff you mention. For example by asking to see their inventory

[harsh briar]

Hmm, let me see your inventory, just need to see how far you've made it in the game and what I can do to help

Yo... Is he still there?

[thick wing]

uh

[shut sparrow]

same here. Try to help leaving out as many spoilers as possible. Unless specifically asked for spoilers, it's best to just give hints. If someone actually doesn't care about spoilers and wants them they can just ask again

not trying to attack you btw. Just explaining the rules to prevent potential spoilers in the future

[thick wing]

let me try and figure out how to take a picture from a switch

[harsh briar]

Ah... I'm sorry.

[tardy quest]

What do I give them or equip? They’re not being very clear

Also, is this the merchant that sells ||unbreakable charms?||

[harsh briar]

Which merchant is this...?

[tardy quest]

What do I give them or equip? They’re not being very clear

Also, is this the merchant that sells ||unbreakable charms?||

[shut sparrow]

it's alright
As a general rule of thumb, if you are mentioning anything directly that the person asking for help hasn't done (like the name of an item/ability/location/boss) or describing exactly what to do, it's likely too specific and can be said without spoilers.

where to go after || Fungal wastes i did possibly everything in that area and all the area before||

[tardy quest]

Wtf

[shut sparrow]

can you show your map and inventory?

[round geode]

ok

[thick wing]

|| Try deepnest or crystal peak ||

[harsh briar]

Depending on which ||charm||.

[thick wing]

|| and city of tears||

[round geode]

|| dont i need some things for those areas ||

[shut sparrow]

||they aren't really worth it. You could argue strength is, but for almost all of the difficult boss fights the fragile one doesn't even break so even that isn't worth the price||

[tardy quest]

That’s grade A bullshit, srsly

[shut sparrow]

please don't mention things they might not know

[harsh briar]

I know!

[thick wing]

they asked where to go, what do i respond with? sorry

[tardy quest]

Whatcha mean? They break after 1 death

I already bought everything from merchants, so I’ll consider investing

[thick wing]

what device r u on

[round geode]

pc

[shut sparrow]

||try not to mention anything they haven't discovered, like ever. Rather hint at where to go next. (For example saying which area to explore that would lead to the new one without mentioning the name of it) If you don't know at what point exactly they are and whether they have discovered an area yet or not, just ask to see their map and/or inventory or anything else that's necessary. Just never mention anything the person hasn't found yet, even if it would answer their question. The only exception to this is when they specifically say they do not care about getting spoiled||

[thick wing]

click on the little eye thing

[round geode]

got it

[shut sparrow]

||there are multiple fights where they don't break||

[tardy quest]

Does killing ||troupe members get me normal essence too or just troupe essence||?

[round geode]

here

[shut sparrow]

just ||the flames||

[zinc berry]

||is the ending in godhome with flower an achievment? i need to know if i can do the flower quest now or if i have to wait till p5 so i can get the achievement||

[shut sparrow]

||explore some more fungal wastes for progression. Specifically the right side||

[shut sparrow]

no

[round geode]

ok

[shut sparrow]

||you can get the flower from the grave after delivering it still. So either way it wouldn't matter||

[lime iron]

Morning

[harsh briar]

||I would say it's a pretty solid build also far, but if your looking for more damage then I would say spell twister.

There are some charms that you missed in the Fungal Wastes (which you probably have went to before), you might want some of them before continuing.||

[harsh briar]

So NO tips???

[lime iron]

Not yet at least

[tardy quest]

Anything I should know going into the ||abyss|| for the first time? I’m not gonna get stuck down there, am I?

[thick wing]

ty, but i feel all of the || charms || are important, do I grind for || notches ||

[lime iron]

Still need to get out of the rain place

[thick wing]

try posting it again

[harsh briar]

You might need some more ||notches||, so yes I would say grind for them. The locations are on the wiki if you need em.

[shut sparrow]

||mistaking it for the dagger attack is very common. The only real difference in the telegraph that you can easily spot is the white glow on pv's hand on daggers, which isn't there on void tendrils.
Generally you should just jump whenever he does an attack. Not very high but at least jump a bit. For daggers you can then follow up immediately with a shade dash, for void tendrils it's tricky but ideally you react in time and hold the jump for longer, or you try to double jump and dash. Jumping immediately either way should help with the reaction time a bit tho.

Regardless this will get easier over time on its own as well. It's a slow process and you might not really notice it but you automatically get better even at noticing things like the different between tendrils and daggers||

[opaque bough]

Can someone tell me if there’s any source of geo in ||fog canyon||? I found myself there soon after dying and with no geo to buy a map :c

[primal ibex]

There’s no big sources

[shut sparrow]

you can't get stuck in this game without skips or glitches

[primal ibex]

Only the ||exploding jellyfish||

[thick wing]

alr tyall gn

[opaque bough]

Blegh alr

I’ll go elsewhere for geo then

[shut sparrow]

it's probably worth to leave rq and get the geo

[tardy quest]

Not what I meant

Silksong spoilers. ||when you go into the abyss in Silksong, you get stuck there until you get silk soar, unable to leave||

[harsh briar]

||Thank you for the tips!

So, I just need to read his telegraph of each attack and react in time for each attack by jumping and dashing depending on the attack?||

[shut sparrow]

that isn't the case in hk

[round geode]

|| found a mask shard in queen station after intense platform was this the thing you were telling me about? ||

[shut sparrow]

||you should always jump for an attack. So you can kind of already do that as soon as you see him do an attack, no matter what (this does not mean doing it even earlier, trying to "predict", just that you don't really need to know the attack yet). Whether you follow up with a pogo or a dash depends on the attack.

For pv you really only dash on the daggers. For every single other attack ideally you just pogo.
The exceptions to this are:

• when you get parried and need to dodge the counter by dashing through him
• potentially to dodge the focus soul orb attack, tho you can also use dive here
• to move towards pv on void tendrils if you want to deal damage or mess up in any way.

usually you always want to have the dodge for the daggers.||

[shut sparrow]

I mentioned the right side

[harsh briar]

Hmm, this makes sense. Thanks for the advice, i'll try again!

[shut sparrow]

||good luck! Make sure you practice the fight in the hall of gods instead of just doing pantheon attempts||

[round geode]

|| i thought i alrdy did everything on the right side tho? i rescued bretta mantis lord mask of pride dashmaster and all but if you are telling there is another area on the right side ill see then. Thanks||

[shut sparrow]

yes

you can even see it on the map pretty clearly

[primal ibex]

Do you mean the way to ||spore||

[round geode]

oh right i see it now..

[shut sparrow]

I mean the way to ||city||

[round geode]

i am half blind

[primal ibex]

Oh ok

[round geode]

found the area..

[robust cape]

Hello, what's the point of ||binding in Godhome?||

[shut sparrow]

it's a common question
For the future: Such a "gap" on the map like you can see on the right there always means there's an unexplored exit right there. It doesn't necessarily mean you can reach it yet but if you're looking for them you'll find these spots all over every map. If you check those whenever you're stuck you'll pretty much always be able to progress

[shut sparrow]

makes it harder

[robust cape]

Is it necessary for story progression?

[shut sparrow]

||also if you do enough you'll unlock something that makes pantheons a little bit easier||

[shut sparrow]

no

[round geode]

ohhh i see..

[shut sparrow]

it also doesn't give any %, tho as I said the reward can make them a little easier

[robust cape]

Ah sweet ty

[radiant sedge]

Hey guys, so i need some direction. This is my current FC Map. I don't know where to head next.

[shut sparrow]

did you get anything in ||crystal peak?||

[radiant sedge]

Think so, can't exactly remember what.

[shut sparrow]

can you show your inventory?

[fallow raptor]

this is very important trust me

[fallow raptor]

||good. you have it.||

[shut sparrow]

can you send your full map?

[radiant sedge]

ok

[shut sparrow]

||you have multiple options rn. firstly, for story progression, there's a way to get below crystal peak from the area. Can you spot a place to get there?
Otherwise you can also explore the area to the bottom left of fungal wastes or below city of tears.
I also highly recommend checking out and exploring older areas again||

[radiant sedge]

Ah i see, would you like a zoomed in part of an area that you are curious about?

[shut sparrow]

not really. I gave you all the information you'd really need methinks. If you have a more precise question about something you can ask

[bronze crest]

help!

how to get to this

[radiant sedge]

Heard. Thanks alot

[bronze crest]

how to get through locked gate?

[shut sparrow]

from the other side

[fallow raptor]

||the sewers.||

[bronze crest]

||do you go into sewers then right||

[shut sparrow]

online maps like these spoil a lot and generally transform the exploration into just following what you are seeing online. I highly recommend exploring the game by yourself

[bronze crest]

k

[shut sparrow]

you have like 10 options on where to go. Just explore

[bronze crest]

k thanks

[shut sparrow]

also make sure you explore older areas again
this game is a lot about revisiting old places to explore there again

[tardy quest]

Go left from ||king’s station. The lever is directly above the door on that side||

[bronze crest]

?

||the city of tears king station?||

[bronze crest]

k thanks

[shut sparrow]

I assume they have not been to ||right side city|| yet

[tardy quest]

It’s on their map

[shut sparrow]

that is an online map

[tardy quest]

Oh

Mb

[shrewd sentinel]

|| can i have tips on radiance 😭 ||

[shut sparrow]

what do you struggle with?

[shrewd sentinel]

like everything in general

[shut sparrow]

I think the simplest tip is to ||remove the spike floor with a dive above it as soon as one spawns||

[tardy quest]

Have you entered the ||right half of city of tears|| yet?

Varies from enemy to enemy

I wouldn’t bother with it then if you can’t nail the timing. Use basic attacks

[livid timber]

||hornet 2||. help me

[tardy quest]

||If you haven’t been to that side of the city yet, go through the royal waterways. it’s a bit of a hike, despite how close it looks, but it’s the most direct path to king’s station I know of||

[shut sparrow]

||As some very general advice:

• use a lot of spells.
• you can always safely heal after the beam burst (the beams from her face) and the sword rain. You'll need to start healing pretty early for both tho.
• don't try to attack while dodging unless it's an attack that's easy for you to dodge and ur confident in it.
• for orbs specifically: Never jump over them unless they are directly above the ground. Always dash underneath instead.

For the platform phase:

• don't chase radiance around. Stay near the center and wait for her to come to you.
• when she teleports to your platform and you see her do an attack (face lights up for burst attack or wings rise for orbs or a wall) use dive to dodge it.
• for orbs specifically again: Don't run around the whole arena desperately trying to dodge them. Instead make fairly small jumps and movements trying to make them touch a platform.||

[livid timber]

would ||stal shell, soul catcher and grubsog|| should also cut it?

[shut sparrow]

what are you trying to do?

[shrewd sentinel]

|| this okay for charms? ||

[shut sparrow]

||qslash and heavy blow 😭||

[shut sparrow]

||this is awesome! I am a huge fan of steady body so you can also try steady body and grubsong instead of twister but this is great as well||

the charms work against eachother

[livid timber]

maybe ||shaman instead of grub and soul||?
I don't have many ||notches||

[shrewd sentinel]

i'll try that out, thank you!

[shut sparrow]

good luck!

[livid timber]

I'll try both methods
I think ||ddark spam|| should also suffice

[bronze crest]

no

what are|| cyclone slashes?||

[tardy quest]

Then go through ||royal waterways to get there. It’s not the only route, but it’s the fastest starting from city of tears||

[shut sparrow]

do you not enjoy playing games blind?

[bronze crest]

eh idk

[shut sparrow]

I really recommend it

[bronze crest]

nvr mind then

oh

cool

im stuck at the|| mini boss at the start of soul sancton||

th one with the ||sword||

[lime iron]

It easy

[bronze crest]

🙁

[safe hedge]

Keep trying, once you figure out the tells to dodge it it should be quick

[lime iron]

Memorys his moves

[safe hedge]

And it’s telegraphs are long and obvious

[shut sparrow]

||he doesn't have a lot of health. Make sure you don't jump of dash around unnecessarily and use a lot of spells||

[bronze crest]

the little floating orbs are annoyin

[shut sparrow]

please don't tell people what they struggle with is easy

[lime iron]

Mb

[bronze crest]

im soo bad at parries

[lime iron]

Im sorry

[shut sparrow]

they really aren't necessary for anything

[bronze crest]

algood

ye

[safe hedge]

You just need to stay out of their way, if they hit walls or the floor they’ll break. Back up when he’s about to shoot them and they aren’t too hard to dodge

[bronze crest]

k

what happens after you beat him

[lime iron]

Harder boss 😭

[bronze crest]

oh yay!

soooo wonderful!!!

[shut sparrow]

||for those try to jump as little as possible and stay on the ground unless you're actively dodging one of the knight's attacks. Remove the enemies as soon as they spawn||

[lime iron]

Oh and charm later on

Can anyone send me the things so i can spoiler warning it

Im on mobile

[shut sparrow]

you should be able to find them on mobile as well

He gets easy once you learn his attack cues. He’s super readable, so for me it was easy. Also Dont try using ||shade closk|| for me it’s worse than just jumping

[marsh hearth]

Thx

[slate fable]

||you dont need wayward or gathering swarm||

[crystal pulsar]

Don’t use ||shade cloak|| for when he dashes at you from up top or below specifically

[tardy quest]

Screenshot ur loadout?

[lime iron]

no

[slate fable]

one sec

[lime iron]

I DONT WANNA DO IT

[crystal pulsar]

Get rid of the ||Stewdy Body||

[jovial sky]

[crystal pulsar]

Dont. You don’t have to.

[shut sparrow]

||focus on spells mainly. They are awesome for the whole colosseum. Sadly you don't have very good nailarts yet. They are also great.

I'd definitely use shaman stone. Then you can decide if you want quick focus or go full spell build.
For quick focus it'd be something like shaman, qf, catcher/twister, grubsong/dream wielder.
For purely spells it would be shaman, catcher, twister, grubsong, wielder.||

[tardy quest]

Yeah, I was gonna go find the other 2 ||nailarts|| next time I’m on

[slate fable]

nvm most of the ones i used you dont have yet

[lime iron]

She hasnt left us yet

[marsh hearth]

Pls explain

[lime iron]

I really dont wanna

😭 😭 😢

[slate fable]

||but i agree make use of quick focus for sure, it saved me my first time through|| @tardy quest

[marsh hearth]

How tho

[south plaza]

tbh practice is key for most bosses

[marsh hearth]

Ok

[lime iron]

I would rather die

Then take everyone down with me

[livid timber]

it feels like tegre are no I-frames when getting the ||quick slash charm under the nailmaster's house. when I get hit but a great hopper, it's keeps jumping in top of me and killing me immediately||. are there any tips for this segment?

[shut sparrow]

then definitely use those when you get them. They are super important for the ||Colo||

[jovial sky]

-# ~~how about || heavy blow || ~~

[tardy quest]

||Are 2 and 3 a lot harder? I did 1 without much trouble||

[polar flicker]

2 is fine

3 is hard

[jovial sky]

No only 3 is hard imo

[crystal pulsar]

||Dash|| in the direction of it when it jumps close enough to crush you

[shut sparrow]

no

[slate fable]

||each colo is a pretty big step up from the previous for a first time player imo||

[jovial sky]

[lime iron]

NO

IM NOT ENDING ANY MINERS

[marsh hearth]

End her

[lime iron]

I WONT

[livid timber]

the thing is that that launches me straight into hazards causing me to die even faster and then immediately on respawn get hit again and keeps me in a loop of hazard, enemy until I die

[jovial sky]

It really was not, if you have ||shaman||

[marsh hearth]

Just one button press

[safe hedge]

You can beat the game without doing it if you use skips

[marsh hearth]

Or a key

[shut sparrow]

yeah that's a common bug

[slate fable]

first time player

[lime iron]

Teach me.

[slate fable]

but true can be the saving grace

[lime iron]

I will not murder the miner

[livid timber]

oh my god ☹️

[crystal pulsar]

Have you simply tried pogoing?

[marsh hearth]

Thou must murdere yon miner

[slate fable]

||shaman and quick focus, saved my ass my first time through||

[lime iron]

Im not killing the miners at all

[safe hedge]

I can’t, don’t know how to do them. Iirc it’s really hard though

[livid timber]

no actually lmao
that seems really useful now that I think abt it

[marsh hearth]

Fine.

[shut sparrow]

||try to use spells, and just avoid the one in the dumb spike room and try and get out of there are quickly as possible. that's really my best advice for the hazard stuff||

[jovial sky]

That's why I said was, I had no problem with 1 and 2 when I was new

[safe hedge]

||You need to shade skip to get wings and then there’s some extremely precise platforming to get tear||

[lime iron]

I will not end em

[safe hedge]

I struggled so much with 2

[safe hedge]

Spent hours on it

[lime iron]

I must end all of them.

every single one.

[marsh hearth]

I found 2 easy

[safe hedge]

The combat is not my strong suit lol

[shut sparrow]

||without myla getting infected? I believe you would need some very crazy skips for that. Idek if it actually is possible. But probably||

[lime iron]

Istg

[safe hedge]

It is, saw a YouTube video on it. You can do some extremely precise jumps to get ||tear|| without it

[marsh hearth]

have you done ||POP||

[lime iron]

These new guys are annoying

The crystal bird

[marsh hearth]

Yeah they suck

[shut sparrow]

this needs tags

[marsh hearth]

Whoops

[opaque bough]

NOOO ||MYLA||

😭 I had this convo like two days ago i havent recovered

[safe hedge]

No, didn’t want to grind the ||essence|| for it. I’m absolutely going to do it at some point though.

[opaque bough]

Can i have some help on parkouring in ||fog canyons|| the stupid explodey things are so annoying

[shut sparrow]

||the jellyfish or what are you talking about?||

[opaque bough]

Yeah this sounds about right

The orange ground bubbles

[shut sparrow]

I assume so as well but I wanna make sure

[shut sparrow]

yeah use ||Spells||

[opaque bough]

Oof

Every issue in my life is clearable with ||just spell|| it seems

[shut sparrow]

indeed

[lime iron]

Can u not kill laser guy

[inland coral]

guys where do i go

[opaque bough]

Go have fun in a new region!

[inland coral]

ehh??

[opaque bough]

You see those arrows going to different names

[inland coral]

yeah

[opaque bough]

Yeah just go explore those regions

[inland coral]

but i wanna get upgrades

[opaque bough]

||Greenpath|| is a good place to start

[inland coral]

to make me stronger

[opaque bough]

You’ll find upgrades as you explore

[inland coral]

but i killed ||hornet|| already

[opaque bough]

OH okay hm what did you want to upgrade

[inland coral]

i don't know i just want more charms

or make my nail stronger

[opaque bough]

Hm send inventory + charms + full map

[lime iron]

NO

[inland coral]

okay

[lime iron]

NOOO

[inland coral]

what

[opaque bough]

Oh nooo what happened

R u trying to get the bench that’s being guarded

[lime iron]

I DIED AND DONT KNOW WHERE I DIED

I DONT HAVE A MAP YET

AND I HAD 1200 GEOD

[opaque bough]

Oh nooooooo that happened to me in there too it’s ||crystal peaks|| right

I ended up there on accident my first time and then lost like 2k geo LMAO

[inland coral]

@opaque bough

[celest linden]

||I'm stuck here in white palace for a while and dont know where to go, every leads me to a loop. Can someone help me please?||

[vital sundial]

Hmmmm
You need to finish the next area first to get weapon upgrades.
You can’t really get any good charms other than these for now

[celest linden]

how do you spoiler messages?

I mean images

[opaque bough]

Finish exploring ||greenpath||, you’ll find more regions to get upgrades

[inland coral]

what is the next area

[inland coral]

such as (regions)

[opaque bough]

Your map earlier showed ||fungal wastes|| as a region for example

[inland coral]

yeah but that was from ||forgotten crossroads||

[opaque bough]

Look for doorways on the map that aren’t filled in yet

[rough scaffold]

[vital sundial]

Oh that counts?

[lime iron]

I am not this stupid

[opaque bough]

You’ll find an entrance if u keep exploring in ||greenpath||

[vital sundial]

Trust me bro it’s worth it

[opaque bough]

Make sure u saved at a bench first and go for it

[vital sundial]

Isn’t the usual entrance from ||Crossroads||?

[inland coral]

but is it worse to go in ||fungal from crossroads?||

[vital sundial]

The ||Greenpath/Fog Canyon one is less convenient||

[opaque bough]

Nah it’s the intended route pretty sure

[opaque bough]

Yeah iirc

[inland coral]

but what do i do in fw

[opaque bough]

That’s the way i entered on my run but both are fine tbh

[vital sundial]

You can reach ||Leg Eater|| earlier if you go from there, that’s my usual route anyways

[inland coral]

through ||crossroads?||

[opaque bough]

Just Go Down

[inland coral]

when will i get ||nail upgrades||

[vital sundial]

Finish exploring it
You can find a ||map|| somewhere in there

[azure prism]

Am not exited for ||white palace||

[vital sundial]

After fw

[opaque bough]

Yeah that’s valid I didn’t make a ton of use of ||Leg Eater|| so i never preferred that route but i can see that

[inland coral]

okay so should i just explore it

[opaque bough]

Just explore!!

[vital sundial]

Yup

You need the next movement item

[inland coral]

okay

[inland coral]

is it found in ||fungal||?

[opaque bough]

Yeah

[vital sundial]

Yes

[inland coral]

okay thank you all

you very helpful

[opaque bough]

Yeah no probs gl and enjoy

[vital sundial]

See if you can find ||Cornifer||, he’s close to ||Queen’s station||

[inland coral]

[vital sundial]

Having a ||map|| makes it much easier to find new places!

[inland coral]

but where is ||station||

[opaque bough]

It’s in ||fungal||

[vital sundial]

Oh, you can actually enter it through ||Fog Canyon||, the entrance through ||Greenpath||

[azure prism]

I am not excited about ||white palace||

[vital sundial]

Why noooooot :D

[inland coral]

but you said enter through ||crossroads||

[opaque bough]

There are tons of routes, whichever one will take you to it eventually

[azure prism]

Im not good at platforming

[lime iron]

I keep dying

[stuck maple]

Same here

[opaque bough]

There’s no super wrong way to do things

[vital sundial]

Okay yeah I did true

But you’ll still get there eventually

[inland coral]

okay thanks

[vital sundial]

That’s the beauty of a linear game!

There is no wrong route!

[opaque bough]

Name of the game my friend

[azure prism]

That happens

[opaque bough]

*nonlinear (sorry dont mean to nitpick)

[vital sundial]

Personal spoilers, don’t click if you haven’t finished fw: ||My first playthrough I entered deepnest and explored most of it, took the tram to ancient basin and kingdom’s edge and got my butt handed to me because of how many hits it took to kill each enemy with nail 0||

Then I was wondering “man when can I get weapon upgrades” and I checked the wiki

…
Yeah this may be a non-linear game but I definitely went the wrong route 😭

[opaque bough]

Oof real…

[vital sundial]

Things were smooth sailing after I got to ||city|| though!

[opaque bough]

I came from Rainworld 😭 and that game is the definition of nonlinear + die a thousand times (it’s part of the experience)

[vital sundial]

Unfortunately because I was a newbie, I missed the ||Mawlek pale ore|| by a tiny bit because I got too scared of the ||Mawleks|| to continue a little bit further

[opaque bough]

Awww rip that’s real

[vital sundial]

That sounds fun lol

[opaque bough]

It’s a good game! It also has a very helpful community when you get stuck (which is often)

[vital sundial]

Thanks for letting me know! I’ll keep that in mind

[opaque bough]

I’m an artist + a huge lore and worldbuilding fanatic so it was really fun for me because I took notes of like different regions I was in, observed creature behavior, etc LMAO I was a little too into it

[vital sundial]

Do you need help with this boss?

[lime iron]

||I GOT CRYSTAL HEART ON Accident||

NO way

[vital sundial]

NAH THATS SO REAL LOL

[lime iron]

Tbh i thought it was a boss fight

[opaque bough]

Me too actually I’m backtracking through ||fog canyon|| cause somehow I didn’t even realize ||upspell|| existed until I was in ||abyss|| and they were like… yeah no go back-

[opaque bough]

I got it on accident too loll

[vital sundial]

In my playthroughs (endgame spoiler) I was just exploring the game, but I ||Accidentally got Herrah and Lurien|| while trying to do everything BUT progressing 😭

[lime iron]

DOESNT IT LOOK LIKE A BOSSFIGHT THO

[versed latch]

Hi

[opaque bough]

IT DO UR RITE

[round geode]

HOW I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND IT SINCE THE PAST 1hr

[vital sundial]

I gave up on exploring ||Fog Canyon|| after I couldn’t get past that ||shadow gate||

I completely missed ||Howling wraiths|| for almost the entirety of the game

[opaque bough]

Gonna wait on the spoiler for a bit more but I’m sure it’s very relatable

[opaque bough]

SAME

[vital sundial]

Oooh wait where are you in the game rn?

[opaque bough]

Well. I have no clue actually bcs idk how the game ends but I’ve gotten an achievement for getting a map of every region and I’m procrastinating on ||watcher knights|| if that gives context

[lime iron]

Thered like parkour before it

And a house thats door starts banging

[vital sundial]

Ah okay okay yeah don’t click that spoiler open juuuust yet! Get an ending first then it’s safe

[opaque bough]

Big map saves my life daily if ever you’re looking for something and you don’t see it it’s probably good to check if there are any unexplored doorways on the map

[vital sundial]

That ain’t no door mate

That ain’t no door

[opaque bough]

Oh boy I’m in the ||teacher’s archive|| I’m sure this will be a happy journey where I don’t die and I don’t kill

[vital sundial]

;D

[opaque bough]

23:05: I’m sure I won’t die
23:07: died

[vital sundial]

What dealt the unlucky blow?

[opaque bough]

Big jelly

[vital sundial]

Ah yeah that does it.

You got this!
-# if you need tips just lmk, but you’ll be fiiine!

[opaque bough]

Does ||longnail and mark of pride stack?|| I’m assuming it doesnt but yk

[vital sundial]

It does

||Mark of pride is 25% increase, longnail is 15%. Together they make 40%||

[robust rampart]

Ive gotten all of the bosses except ||grimm|| and some other weird flat headed looking boss, so I cant open the 3rd ||pantheon|| what is the flat headed guy?

[opaque bough]

Oh huh

Mega range

[vital sundial]

Flat headed looking… lemme check the ||Pantheon 3 bosses||

[vital sundial]

Yup. Mega range

[robust rampart]

K

[versed radish]

||white defender,I need help immediately||

[robust rampart]

Idk bro

[vital sundial]

Did you beat ||The collector?||

[robust rampart]

Yes

Took me a bit but yeah

[vital sundial]

||Galien?||

[robust rampart]

Yeah

Just did yesterday

[vital sundial]

||Did you forget the elder?||

[robust rampart]

What

What is that

A ||warrior dream?||

Ohhh let me look it up

Yeah thats the one

[vital sundial]

Uhh uhhhhhh lemme think

||When he burrows underground, stay close to him. When he unearths, use Abyss Shriek or slash him
If you can’t react to him hitting the ground, then keep a good distance away from him. Attacking him with a range increase when he’s throwing dung balls||

[robust rampart]

Where can I find it

[vital sundial]

||Fungal Wastes||

||Look for it, it’s in a dead end||

[robust rampart]

Alr

[opaque bough]

The bosses always have wayyy less hp than i expect them to

[robust rampart]

Do I just take the ||essence|| or do I need to fight it

[vital sundial]

||If he throws three dung balls, he will follow up with becoming a ball himself, you can knock him back up like a bouncy ball

After the third bounce, he will enter the ground and create a massive shockwave, shade cloak through it||

[vital sundial]

||”Take the essence” :D||

[robust rampart]

K

[vital sundial]

They def have a lot of hp you’re just dealing a lot of damage lol

[robust rampart]

I need to go to bed because im tired as hell but ill find it tomorrow

[vital sundial]

Everything has less hp when you’re a powerhouse 🔥

[vital sundial]

Goodnight!

Mini Tenna?

[robust rampart]

What 😭

[vital sundial]

Mini Tenna was typing

[robust rampart]

Oh

[opaque bough]

WHY DO I HAVE TO ||KILL THEM||

[vital sundial]

Wdym?

Ah.
||Dreamer?||

[opaque bough]

Yeah :(

[fallow raptor]

||dude i did the same thing, except i never found the shadow gate, i just went to queen's station and assumed i wasn't missing anything until i had one dreamer left.||

[opaque bough]

I think that was actually one of the first few times I requested help here cause I just Could Not Figure It Out lol

[fallow raptor]

hm?

[safe hedge]

||They’re sealing the hollow knight in black egg temple, but the seal is imperfect and the infection is leaking out. Monomon actually wants you to kill her so you can deal with the infection|| (lore)

[flint sparrow]

-# i think it was a rhetorical question

[opaque bough]

It was a rhetorical question expressing my displeasure about needing to be not-pacifist

[fallow raptor]

||you're not really... killing them. ( to me. ) more like absorbing their soul and body.||

[opaque bough]

Bro where is this ||grub|| my god

[long glade]

hello i am a complete newbie and this is my first playthrough i just defeated the gruz queen and saw that there was a bench ahead of it but i just cant jump high enough to get to it so is there a secret way or a game mechanic please do tell me

[opaque bough]

You’ll find more upgrades and movement abilities as you go through the game! For now you can mark it and come back to it later if you can’t get up there

[fallow raptor]

||dash / wall climbing. you'll find em early.||

[flint sparrow]

the secret game mechanic is exploration

[fallow raptor]

||also, not the gruz queen. gruz MOTHER. you'll meet some royalty in greenpath.||

[flint sparrow]

🔹 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.

[flint sparrow]

no need to tell people what they will find in the future, especially unprompted

[opaque bough]

Yo can someone tell me how to get to the ||grub right next to the teacher’s archives|| it’s been crying in my ear but i cant find it

[long glade]

also i found this elevator thing going down and i think its the next path to follow but i just cant get to it? there is almost no path that leads to it and the one that does poses the sam eproblem as before

[fallow raptor]

||wasn't really that... obvious. plus, the area isn't really spoilers.||
||nor is what i said relating to "royalty" (referring to something you 100% misinterpreted)||

[long glade]

oh yeah my bad

[flint sparrow]

if there's a path you can't go down, chances are you need to go exploring elsewhere and come back later

[opaque bough]

In general if you’ve found one path, there’s probably 3 more other paths (or something like that idk), if you can’t get to it then you probably dont need to worry about it yet

[safe hedge]

i have found 2 and both are inaccesible and ive almost explored the whole ||crossroads||(the starting area atleast i think )

Ah thanks got it

[flint sparrow]

telling people about stuff they haven't encountered is unnecessary spoilers, regardless of how you phrase it. when you're told something is spoilers, the response should never be "uhm actually 🤓"

[fallow raptor]

||have you beaten up anything strong? ( excluding gruz mother. [ this is NOT a spoiler. ] )||

[opaque bough]

What does ur map look like rn?

[wary geyser]

||any replacements for nmg or am i really gonna be forced to use the stupid ass nailarts?? thanks btw the rest sound really good||

[long glade]

how should i answer that lol?

[opaque bough]

Screenshot was what i was expecting

[safe hedge]

Then you have a new area you can go to, have you seen that big guy you had to kill with ||fireball(at the exit of ancestral mound)|| anywhere before?

[long glade]

oh yeah sure just a min

[hollow bramble]

||nail arts are pretty much needed for ascended / radiant markoth, but if u dont use nail arts, use grubsong or smth||

[fallow raptor]

||wasn't doing an "uhm actually 🤓" moment there.||
||and i mean, we're doing that, right? telling people what to do relating to the game, including spoilers or not.||

[safe hedge]

You have missed exactly two doors

One of those is the one you need to progress

[opaque bough]

Yeah when in doubt look at the gaps in your map

[long glade]

also for the ||train|| i think i might have the thing i need the one that fits in a slot something

[safe hedge]

You don’t yet, you find that in a later area

[opaque bough]

You very unfortunately don’t have the thing… it tricked me for a good long while too

[vital sundial]

Quite a bit later

[flint sparrow]

another exploration tip is ||when you come across a blocked path, take a screenshot of it and its location on the map so you can remember it for later||

[safe hedge]

Not necessarily

[opaque bough]

You’ll understand later when you Find the Thing

[long glade]

||which one? the ones near myla i have already explored and the bottom left is the one i cant get to||

[safe hedge]

Middle left

[fallow raptor]

..nope.

[opaque bough]

Map shop also sells markers if you’d like to track things in game!

Right under ||Grubs||

[long glade]

yeah that ||elevator|| is locked

🔹 Ensure Discord’s spoiler tagging is used around spoilers (please see the pins for what is allowed, this changes between both games).

[long glade]

thank you

[long glade]

also i cant access the ||bench|| in the bottom right now is that intentional or am i just dumb

[opaque bough]

Intentional

[craggy swift]

do i need to fight all the bosses that appear in a ||pantheon|| before i can access it?

[opaque bough]

Just keep going you’ll get something soonish/later

[primal ibex]

Yes

[vital sundial]

Yes, well, most of them at least

[fallow raptor]

||depends.||

[vital sundial]

There are special cases for ||Pantheons 3 and 4||, but most of them you need to do it

[long glade]

thank you guys for the much needed help (judging myself ill most likely be back pretty soon)

[vital sundial]

Don’t be afraid to ask for help!

[fallow raptor]

..from anyone BUT me.

[craggy swift]

[vital sundial]

You gotta ASCEND

[craggy swift]

[primal ibex]

You’ll know

[vital sundial]

Fight ||gorb|| you’ll know.

[primal ibex]

Look for him

[craggy swift]

You don’t need ||pantheons|| for te

And you don’t need to replay

[primal ibex]

Just continue on the same save

[craggy swift]

There’s a chance that ||She returns to normal||

[lime iron]

what.

[vital sundial]

Next playthrough!

[lime iron]

Shes dead tho

[flint sparrow]

me when i spread misinformation online

[fallow raptor]

||do i lack a soul for going out of my way to make cloth die in the traitor lord fight, then going back to steal their essence?||

[vital sundial]

Uh, yeah she 100% is now LOL

[lime iron]

naooo

[vital sundial]

YEAH??

[lime iron]

Im depressed now

[flint sparrow]

||she welcomes a glorious end in combat but taking her essence certainly is evil 😭||

[vital sundial]

||Cloth dying is a happy ending for her, since she wants a warrior’s death||

[opaque bough]

who dis and how i murder it

[lime iron]

.

[fallow raptor]

||nail||

[lime iron]

Is that in greenland

[vital sundial]

Ah. ||Mantis traitor.||

[opaque bough]

He just ||dashslashes me|| over and over i cant figure out how get in

[ashen tiger]

guys i js started playing hk i played for 9 hrs and defeated || hornet || now i cant go to new areas where do i go

[vital sundial]

It’s in a different green land

[craggy swift]

dude thats not even the boss fight

[opaque bough]

I thought they were supposed to be nice to me!!! What is up with these ||new gen mantises smh||

[vital sundial]

You can jump and pogo over it when it slashes at you

[vital sundial]

Look at their eyes

[jagged wing]

explore the bottom of ||greenpath or crossroads||

[flint sparrow]

lore-wise ||she was already dead, her corpse was being animated by the infection||

[lime iron]

Im talking to someone

[opaque bough]

Oh.

[vital sundial]

Yup

[ashen tiger]

yea i went to ||fungal area|| but cant find any new areas after hours of searching

[jagged wing]

have you found the map there yet?

[lime iron]

i thought hed bring her back

[ashen tiger]

yeah

[opaque bough]

Well uh the pogoing worked

[lime iron]

But he gave me geo.

[vital sundial]

||She wasn’t dead yet though?
Sure she’s a “husk miner” but the infection doesn’t kill you immediately. As long as you don’t die you can be but infected||

[jagged wing]

could you send a ss of it

[ashen tiger]

alr wait

[craggy swift]

there are only 3 benches in ||deepnest||

[vital sundial]

||Once you attack her and she dies, she doesn’t come back. That’s a real death||

[craggy swift]

am i cooked?

[vital sundial]

Mayhaps

[opaque bough]

Ooh ||love key|| why would they even have that time to become a conspiracy theorist abt random ||mantis|| backstory

[lime iron]

Im sad

[craggy swift]

whats yore favorite area

your

[fallow raptor]

||i also gave lila the worst possible death ( desolate dive right into her cranium, no visits until she was completely infected ) and said no to giving the flower to elderbug ( i did give it to him in the end because i actually quite like the sprite. ) so yeah you may be right.||

[opaque bough]

Honestly i thought ||deepnest|| was really cool tbh

[fallow raptor]

||fr. no idea how people get scared from it.||

[vital sundial]

You just wanted to be pure evil and I can’t help but respect it 🙏

[fallow raptor]

:)

[harsh briar]

Who needs help on any bosses?

[craggy swift]

it is

[harsh briar]

I can give some tips.

[vital sundial]

Ooosues

[fallow raptor]

||radiance. not the absolute one.||

[vital sundial]

Same

[jagged wing]

well it is a lot different when you find it right after ||mantis lords with no nail upgrades, lamp etc.||

[craggy swift]

compressed air is so cool

[harsh briar]

Okay... Tell me exactly what's been troubling you.

[jagged wing]

look in that different colored area in the bottom right of it

[craggy swift]

how much time do you have?

[vital sundial]

Use ||Quick Slash and Strength. Range increases don’t help as much unfortunately.
Shaman stone is really good for Abyss Shrieks.
if you have remaining notches, spend them on whatever u want, spell twister can be great||

[harsh briar]

Uh, 112hrs... Is that bad?

[vital sundial]

Hehe I got more than that

[opaque bough]

Ooh okay so keep going down + left

[vital sundial]

I’ve beaten every boss no-hit, I be the expert

[silver scaffold]

||Is it worth upgrading Fragile Charms to Unbreakable Charms?||

[vital sundial]

Yes, but that’s a VERY endgame thing

[fallow raptor]

||the spikes in phase 1, the wall / ceiling of blades, basically everything. i can get to phase 2 SOMETIMES, but i can never find time to heal, which i seem to (try to) do naturally when i'm low.||

[jagged wing]

only ||strenth is really worth it||

[craggy swift]

i meant like how much time do you have to listen about his problems

[ocean estuary]

practice dodging, after that she'll go to you for some free easy hits

[vital sundial]

Also yeah

[ocean estuary]

source: trust me twin

[vital sundial]

You can use ||Descending dark|| on the spikes to get rid of them

[vital sundial]

That spell gives I-frames, very useful

[obsidian coyote]

im in || deep nest || and i cant kill the thingy with the || dreamer mask || ik i have to attack when it does but any other tips?

[vital sundial]

There’s a saying:
“When in doubt, ||Descending Dark||”

[jagged wing]

use your ||dream nail||

[vital sundial]

Don’t attack it until it shows itself. Provoking it causes it to strike instantly

[obsidian coyote]

really?

[jagged wing]

nope thought you were talking bout something else

[obsidian coyote]

ok thats what i ben trying to do

[vital sundial]

Try using ||Nail arts||

[obsidian coyote]

wat dat?

[ashen tiger]

Oh ok thanks

[vital sundial]

You can also use ||Desolate Dive|| on it

[vital sundial]

😧

[jagged wing]

?uncspoilers

[ocean estuary]

it's like an || ability for your nail ||

[ashen tiger]

Left or right

[obsidian coyote]

wat dat

[vital sundial]

Okay so there uhhh skills you can get

[obsidian coyote]

i have 3 of those

[fallow raptor]

||also, what charms would be good for radiance? currently what i use is:||
||longnail, spell twister, sharp shadow|| ||( mainly for the hollow knight ),|| ||spore shroom + defender's crest || ||( great when successfully healing )|| ||and grubsong. i have 9 charm notches.||

[vital sundial]

That help a lot in combat

[ocean estuary]

do you have || cyclone slash? || pretty helpful if you ask me

[vital sundial]

Cool thing you can get

[obsidian coyote]

nope

[vital sundial]

Oh you have all of them?

[fallow raptor]

||oh and voidheart ofc.||

[wet spire]

Unnecessary spoiler gng

[plucky marsh]

||shade stuck, cant access jiji, help||

[jagged wing]

?tag uncspoilers

[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.

[ocean estuary]

you said you had all of them tho

[harsh briar]

||• For the spikes in the arena, I would wait on the opposite side and focus on dodging until she comes to you to avoid any damage. When the spikes go away, then you can damage freely. You can also use a desolate dive / descending dark on the spikes to immediately remove them if you have the soul.
• For the walls and ceilings of swords, simply go inbetween the gaps of the swords. I would recommend going inside the more open gaps, but if you have to and have no other choice, you can try and squeeze in between the swords. For the cellings, it's just a matter of getting in between the gaps. In Phase 2 however, they come at a much higher frequency, so you need to be ready to dodge it again and again and again at all times.
• For healing during the fight, some places where you could possibly heal is right after a sword fall, or after she summons swords from her face. You could also equip some healing charms lime Shape Of Unn to make healing easier if it's that big of a problem.

Note: this is only for phases 1 & 2, I can cover the other ones if you need me to.||

Holy yappington

[obsidian coyote]

i have 3 diff || spells yes ||

[vital sundial]

Oops sorry

[obsidian coyote]

maybe they got the wrong names cause

[opaque bough]

AA I’m at ||mantis traitor 2.0 electric boogaloo, in which he is actually a mini boss now|| and i dont have enough geo for the stupid bench and I’ve killed all the mobs around

[vital sundial]

Oooh which ones?

[ashen tiger]

Does this game actually have a good lore cuz y'all marking so many spoilers 😭

[obsidian coyote]

the are called || holwing wraiths , vengeful spirits and desolate drive ||

[wet spire]

Gameplay spoilers

[jagged wing]

yuh its amazing lore

[fallow raptor]

10/10 lore

[ashen tiger]

Wow

[vital sundial]

Ah yes you have them
So for the enemy you were talking about, you can lure it out, then jump above it and use ||desolate dive|| to deal big damage

[obsidian coyote]

ok

[harsh briar]

||... So, why spore shroom and defenders crest? I know they do some dps but it's kinda minor compared to everything else in your arsenal...||

[plucky marsh]

||shade stuck, cant access jiji, pls help <//3||

[jagged wing]

||farm some soul in the room to the right and use your spells to kill it||

[vital sundial]

O.O
Oh no

[fallow raptor]

||sorta comfortable with them. apart from dashmaster and sprintmaster ( equipped when travelling ) i always keep them equipped unless i'm using another build.||

[plucky marsh]

would it even reach??

[jagged wing]

it can be done but im not exactly sure how close you have to be

[harsh briar]

Hmm, that makes sense.

[ashen tiger]

||yo||

[harsh briar]

||yo||

[vital sundial]

[spoilers for the same boss] ||You can also heal during the beams of light attack if you can read the general direction that they’ll shoot in next||

[harsh briar]

Hmm, yes, that's true.

Should've put that... Hold on...

[ashen tiger]

Also I found an easy way to || grind geo at crossroads station by killing husk guard which gives me 50 geo per minute || is this supposed to be this easy??

[wet spire]

Theres better

[harsh briar]

I mean, it is a easy way to get money, but there are better ways to get money depending on where you are in the game.

[jagged wing]

||50 geo a minute isn't that much youll find much better ways later in the game||

[vital sundial]

It’s not very efficient, I’d recommend not doing that too much!

[fallow raptor]

||by the way, quick question. how do i open the big door found in city of tears and fungal wastes?||

[wet spire]

Cant

[jagged wing]

you cant

[ashen tiger]

Woww so there are better ways

[vital sundial]

I wish it could be

[wet spire]

Many and much

[plucky marsh]

i got my ||shade|| back omg thank you

[vital sundial]

Wait what how?

[ashen tiger]

I lost 1000 geo once and got depressed lol

[vital sundial]

OOOOH that’s smart

Nice

[plucky marsh]

||wallbounce on the top edge -> dash -> VS with shaman stone||

[opaque bough]

I can’t even count the amount of geo I’ve lost…

[vital sundial]

I lost 700 geo in the early game and felt like ending it

[harsh briar]

Wdym, the door blocking the two? When entering, you can't open it back...

The only possible way to get back is through a ||Stag Station|| to somewhere else.

[lime iron]

Fr

[vital sundial]

I also lost like
1.5k worth of currency in Silksong too

D:

[lime iron]

The door with a statue?

[fallow raptor]

||nope. they're just... there. chains all over them ( i think )||

[harsh briar]

I've lost hundreds due to that STUPID ||Hornet Protector|| in early game...

[fallow raptor]

||one's beside the crossroads elevator.||

[flint sparrow]

||i don't think that one can be opened||

[flint sparrow]

||actually there is a breakable floor you can open up above that gate||

[harsh briar]

wut

where what

[flint sparrow]

||walljump up from the right side of the gate||

[vital sundial]

Oh yeah

[harsh briar]

Didn't know that until know... Dang, I must be blind... Thanks dude!

[vital sundial]

I took that path for (endgame quest) ||Delicate flower||

[vital sundial]

Not easy to spot!

There’s a lovely ||Geo rock|| up there too

[vital sundial]

Yeah that one cannot be opened

It’s probably for world-building purposes

[robust rampart]

I went back to the place where I fought the ||false knight||, where can I find the dude making those stupid ass sounds

[livid timber]

currently trying to cheese ||hornet 2||. any tips for keeping her in the corner while predicting the moves to dodge (via the telegraphing)?

[flint sparrow]

can you show your inventory?

[robust rampart]

Im playing on the Nintendo switch 💔

[flint sparrow]

the switch has a feature where you can transfer screenshots to your mobile device but it's kinda tedious so you also could just take a photo of the screen lol

[livid timber]

couldnt you take a photo with another device? if you cant thats okay

[robust rampart]

WHT DIDNT IT SPOILER

[flint sparrow]

mobile discord sometimes just forgets to hide spoilered images

[flint sparrow]

oh okay you definitely have what you need lol. ||check for breakable walls||

[robust rampart]

K

[vital sundial]

Good lord you are stacked!

[livid timber]

anyone have tips for ||hornet 2|| telegraphing? i cant read her well.

[robust rampart]

(Insert picture of the knight flexing its geo)

[vital sundial]

Ooh that’s a tough one!
||Try not to stay in the air, as she jumps around a lot
Whenever she makes a weird sound on the ground, jumping works 95% of the time. (SHAW!) For her spikes attack, relatively harmless, disarm the one close to you if needed, and use a spell to get rid of the rest if they’re really bothering you.
She will jump around a lot, and when she’s in the air, if you dash or keep moving, you can dodge her little air dash if she does it, and also avoid the storm||

[glad socket]

you have not seen motion

[vital sundial]

What
What does that mean
I’m scared

[glad socket]

im 25k geo 😭

i have*

[jovial sky]

What does he mean by telegraphing?

[glad socket]

like almost how to read it

for example a motion they do before a specific attack

[jovial sky]

Oh that's what telegraphing means thanks

[glad socket]

yw

[vital sundial]

It’s kinda hard to read ||Hornet 2|| so I just do preemptive dodging

[jovial sky]

I just tank her, it's much easier for me

Unless it's || radiant||

[frosty marsh]

Guys help idk how did i got seal away from the area and i cant go to the next one

[acoustic sigil]

You already did that one, go to the bottom left

[frosty marsh]

It lock too

[acoustic sigil]

Then go up the elevator
