[junior crow]

???

Oh right

[viscid belfry]

not on my PIRATED hk version

[zenith elm]

But I am on phone. It makes the game harder. So basically 128 hours for 111% is not that bad, is it?

[junior crow]

I have over 250 hours on one of the hardest platformers out there you tell me

[inland lion]

[junior crow]

Smile

Never denied it

[viscid belfry]

ifdk

[viscid belfry]

|| quick slash||

[mint wadi]

It's just getting really good at turning around

[junior crow]

||I did path of pain in 45 minutes half squatting because my chair was being washed and also with a broken a key ||

It was an

[inland lion]

no like the tech where you reset your slash's cooldown or shorten it by moving left and right between slashes

[junior crow]

[fervent violet]

||grave||

[primal ibex]

Area left of ||fog canyon||

[junior crow]

Grave in ||gardens||

[mint wadi]

Yeah it's called ||turn around nail cancelling or something. You just kinda have to practice turning around really quick||

[junior crow]

Im actually bad at gd

[mint wadi]

There's not many tips for it other than practice

[junior crow]

Its not my kind of platformer

[junior crow]

Cause gd is very timing based

[zinc thistle]

im going crazy

[junior crow]

I prefer the

Precision platformer tech spam LMAO

[zenith elm]

Wdym?

[junior crow]

Aware

Im also going for a deathless clear of every base game level

Im mildly insane

[zenith elm]

||pantheon 5 yk||

[junior crow]

Theres like a thousand people who've done it

Yeah so ||path of pain|| was kinda nothing for me

||Abs rad tho...||

Screw that lamp

[zenith elm]

And it is mobile bro. ||path of pain|| took me 4 days

[junior crow]

Just practice in hall like your life depends on it

Thats what i did

Took me weeks to get consistent enough to try

[zenith elm]

I am f stuck on ||no eyes||

[junior crow]

VALID

HATE THAT PERSON

[torpid wadi]

😔

[sonic moss]

you only get stuck on ||no eyes|| if you don't have patience
it sucks but it's easy

[junior crow]

My strat was always just to go in with as much ||soul|| as possible then ||spell|| spam the hell out of her

[sonic moss]

my strat for ||markoth|| be like

[junior crow]

She doesnt have much health so if you can get in a ||shriek|| or 2 she'll go down very fast

[zenith elm]

Like I stand on the platform

But still can't dodge

[junior crow]

||Markoth||.

[zenith elm]

Bc it is hard like hell

[junior crow]

Ive made it past him only 3 times

[torpid wadi]

wont she have a chance to ||tp in middle of shriek tho||

[junior crow]

||You can shade cloak through the ghosts||

[sonic moss]

you just jump up and down a bit you have ||double jump|| to fix it if you jumped too short

[junior crow]

Yeah but its a 1/3 so you'd at least get in 40 dmg

[sonic moss]

I can make it past him but he ragebaits me so hard

[junior crow]

I HATE HATE HATE HIM

im so glad ||failed champ|| is right after because that boss is free heals

[zinc thistle]

finally...

[junior crow]

I always make it out of ||markoth|| with like 1 mask LMAO

[sonic moss]

true

all my homies hate ||markoth||

[torpid wadi]

not a real ||p5 if u didnt save gpz||

[junior crow]

That guy killed so many of my runs

[junior crow]

I didnt know 😭😭

And i was not about to start a new save

[sonic moss]

easy fight compared to ||markoth|| but I'd say it counts anyway

||gpz|| isn't as hard as people make it out to be

[mint wadi]

There's just a lot going on in the fight

[junior crow]

I'll do ||p5|| with ||gpz|| after i finish ||steel soul||

[torpid wadi]

no it just consistently gets damage

like ||if u go into failed champion with 3 hp thats doable but on gpz its pretty tough||

[junior crow]

Lowkey ||abs rad|| is still the most annoying boss to me

Yeah see I thought it would be funny

[balmy citrus]

Arent charms too?

[junior crow]

特别搞笑

[sonic moss]

it is to me :3 I can laugh a lil at your pain

[junior crow]

Mean

[sonic moss]

true sorry :>

[balmy citrus]

Why tho? Im not that good at the game and like there is no soul left for ||spells||

[primal ibex]

Extremely early, you can get one in the first minute if you know what you’re doing

[balmy citrus]

Hmm ok

[near vortex]

Any tips for ||pure vessel||

[sonic moss]

well yea but the name of that is still spoiler

[sonic moss]

jump. high.

[junior crow]

no

[sonic moss]

half or more of ||pv|| attacks are dodgeable by max height jump into ||pogo||

[primal ibex]

Healing isn’t always as important as ||spells||, but if you never have enough soul to use them then don’t take it

[fervent violet]

||getting pure nail is easier than flower quest 😭||

[junior crow]

everytime i do that bro slams me into the ground

[balmy citrus]

||notch|| is a spoiler too huh... HOW IS IT A SPOILER

[fervent violet]

||Ignore his attacks and jump when he pulls back||

[balmy citrus]

YOU LITERALLY HAVE IT ON THE FIRST MINUTE OF YOUR PLAYTHROUGH

[fervent violet]

wut

[primal ibex]

Kill all the enemies on the path, then go back to get it without benching

[inland lion]

||Fullproof strategy for pure vessel: Whenever he teleports on one of the sides of the screen, ALWAYS jump at max height. If you see him charge up the dash attack or the one where he slashes three times, slash under you. If you see him use the attack where he throws out the daggers, wait a bit then use Shade Cloak once you're at around 2/3 of your jump height while falling. The attack where he spawns spikes across half the arena is pretty easy just get super close to him while he jumps down and attack him. If you have steady body then you are safe and can still dish out hits. The void tendrils attack that he does while at 1/3 hp can be dodged by jumping when he teleports, dashing towards him and slashing him from above to pogo up and avoid it. The attack where he creates an explosion of soul then some other explosions is easy as he can't do other attacks until the 4 other explosions are about to detonate, in which you should position yourself to not get cornered (such as putting yourself under one so that you can use descending dark if you need to) and finally, just use shade cloak if he accidentally parries. I got radiant pure vessel 10 times in a row using this strategy||

[junior crow]

||as a radiant pv enjoyer just pogo all their attacks, shade cloak through the daggers, run away and spam shade soul when they do the circles attack||

[fervent violet]

[junior crow]

||oh and ddark the void tendrils||

||if you're daring you can ddark during the soul explosion while they're charging it up but everytime i try that i just get parried then destroyed||

[inland lion]

that is what i do as well 👍

[primal ibex]

You don’t know what it’s called until you unlock one, and it’s a lot later into the game

[junior crow]

but actually dont stay in the air too much for ||pv||

because then its almost impossible to get out of the way in time for the spikes

man i love ||pv|| fight

[near vortex]

I will try and keep this in mind when I go back to fighting him might do some regular runs just to get used to his attacks

[junior crow]

practice in hall until you're confident

its not an easy fight so you gotta learn it

[balmy citrus]

Dude i hate ||deepnest|| can you give me some tips to make that place easier?

[primal ibex]

All of us hate it

Uhh

[near vortex]

Yea I had to do the same with|| sly || i gotta leave soon so I hope i can get it done when I get back then its just|| nkg|| left for 112%

[fervent violet]

[near vortex]

||Spells||

[junior crow]

[primal ibex]

Spam ||spells||, then wait for it to open, then hit and run

[junior crow]

slash once then RUN

[balmy citrus]

Ok im gonna try it

[junior crow]

||if you have shade soul you can destroy it with like 2-3 spells||

[balmy citrus]

Thank you all for this tips

[sonic moss]

attack once -> ||dash away real fkn fast||

[near vortex]

I think you can ||dash|| above it if you jump to the top of the hallway

[junior crow]

nope

[umbral galleon]

||you can wait for it to open its face, get up to 2 hits in, then dash the other way, repeat||

[junior crow]

only works in a few places

[sonic moss]

they're in places with low ceilings

[junior crow]

oh

[near vortex]

Yea regular ||dash ||may not do it

[junior crow]

the thing has a triangular hitbox specifically to stop people from ||dashing|| through it

[junior crow]

[near vortex]

[junior crow]

blurry ahh pic tho

[junior crow]

yeah but you need alot of a health for that

[umbral galleon]

What i usually do is I ||go towards them, wait for them to open their face, attack once or twice, then dash + run the other way, then repeat||

[ember pond]

[wooden goblet]

||if i did an ending on a save can i still do the others on the same save? because i jsut beat the broken vessel||

No you can keep playing on the same one

[glad swan]

Is it because of the platforms

[primal ibex]

You overshoot a lot of platforms with it

[thorn hare]

WHY DOES FOR MY THE VID ITS BUGED AND HAS 0 SECS

[hybrid gazelle]

do you? i never overshot anything with it

[primal ibex]

Prob bc you use it a lot anyway so you’re already used to the extra distance

[hybrid gazelle]

most likely

still quite useful for the boss in ||queens gardens||

🔹 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.

[patent plover]

ooo

[patent plover]

erm mb, i thought he was just exploring and couldnt find what ot do

[silent wigeon]

|| explore crystals more. ||

[patent plover]

[primal ibex]

[deft mortar]

||what charms are the best for white palace?||

[primal ibex]

[native tinsel]

||Fugal wastes, close to the leg eater iirc||

[deft mortar]

Yea but it'll be easier for me to restart

[primal ibex]

Not that close but yes

[deft mortar]

I wanna have a diff save file for each ending

[primal ibex]

Why

[near vortex]

A diffrent save for each of the || 5 endings||

[deft mortar]

[deft mortar]

[primal ibex]

…

[cursive helm]

||Already found all the ones in Crossroads and greenpath i think||

[primal ibex]

Don’t

[cursive helm]

Why, tbh even if i can’t get all the ones i need it’s good geo

[wanton aspen]

at which exact number do u complete ||hunter's journal||

[primal ibex]

I meant don’t follow guides

[wanton aspen]

of encounters and completions

[acoustic sigil]

There are 146 ones, but its 146 specific ones

[primal ibex]

You need to get all of them

[fringe wigeon]

|| waterways map?||

[wanton aspen]

what is the number of the total

[acoustic sigil]

So you can have 150/150 but not the necessary ones

[acoustic sigil]

No there are optional ones

[wanton aspen]

?

[cursive helm]

I meant more the wiki to figure out which ones i can get now

But fair point

[primal ibex]

Oh ok yeah I forgot abt the optional ones

[wanton aspen]

nvm i checked wiki

[primal ibex]

Also hello thommie

[wanton aspen]

168 total

[acoustic sigil]

The max you can get is 164/164, and 4 dont increase the number

But you dont need that many

[torpid wadi]

||not all of them show on the counter and less are needed for the mark||

[primal ibex]

Uhh thommie

Thanks

I’ve seen 2 today already

[torpid wadi]

Thommie is there any way to just delete that set of images spoiler tagged or not

[primal ibex]

Chuck is back

[torpid wadi]

Also wait were they spoiler tagged

[acoustic sigil]

There are many more

[torpid wadi]

I assume so but it didn't show up

[acoustic sigil]

No

[torpid wadi]

How do they get through

[acoustic sigil]

Its not an image what they send

[primal ibex]

Explore here first

[fringe wigeon]

k

[acoustic sigil]

They send a link that embeds as an image

[acoustic sigil]

Hello ZL

[primal ibex]

Why are so many people involved in that scam

[torpid wadi]

isnt that a part of the domain stuff and u can ban it?

[primal ibex]

How*

[torpid wadi]

sorry if its a stupid question idk much about this

[vague fern]

they fall for similar scams if not just that one

and then get their discrod account hacked

[acoustic sigil]

Maybe but it doesnt matter as they'll be banned soon enough cause its still in the other channels

[torpid wadi]

but then more ppl will just come

[rapid arch]

how can i go to ||the queens station with using stag from city of tears||

[toxic canyon]

guys im doing ||colo 2 and there are 2 big blue blobs that look scary what do i do||

[near vortex]

Yell

[primal ibex]

What

[toxic canyon]

how does that help

[primal ibex]

Can you screenshot or sth

[acoustic sigil]

I think it will make a negligible difference, and beyond that, then the deletion message will have links to the images for longer than they would be up if we would wait till they are banned

[toxic canyon]

these dudes

[torpid wadi]

okay

[primal ibex]

Oh those, gl

[toxic canyon]

uhh

[near vortex]

Save Files

What do save files looks like?

• Each Hollow Knight save file is a user#.dat where # is the save slot for the file
• You can rename user3.dat to user1.dat to set it to your first save slot
• You can keep a copy of all of your save files by copy and pasting them into a different folder on your computer

Reverting Backups

• Automatic backups are called user#.dat.bak#, where the first # is the save slot, and the second # is the backup number. You will usually have your last three backups
• You restore a backup by deleting the main file, and then removing the .bak# part of the backup version

Modded Saves

• A modded save may also have a user#.modded.json (and similarly named backup). This file and the user#.dat are part of the save

Where are the files?

• On windows, the default path for Save Files is:
  • %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight\
  • You should just copy and paste that path directly into the File Explorer path bar at the top.
• For other operating systems (and Xbox Games), type ?tag saves into chat

I need a specific type of save file

• Various save files can be found in the "Saves" section of this page: https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/resources
  • If the file you download is a .rar or other archived format, then you will need to extract it with something like 7zip

Editing save files

• MoreSaves: With the MoreSaves mod installed, you can edit save files from the Menu, by going to Options > Mods > MoreSaves
• QoL: Opening a save with QOL installed will create an extra save file called user#.json, which can be edited using Notepad or a similar text editor
• DebugMod: While not an intended purpose, you can edit some parts of your save file using Debug, such as Nail Damage, and those changes will remain even after uninstalling the mod
• Website: https://bloodorca.github.io/hollow/

[knotty karma]

1/4 is good

[zinc thistle]

wdym 1/4

[primal ibex]

||Spell: Shamans, soul catcher, spell twister, soul eater, grubsong
Nail: quickslash, strength, mop, longnail or fury
Mix: Shamans, quickslash, strength, spell twister||

[torpid wadi]

||shaman strength quick slash spell twister||

[unreal jacinth]

done

[zinc thistle]

tysm

[knotty karma]

it really depends, if we talking dynamic then ||unb strength, spell twister, sharp shadow, quick slash||

[unreal jacinth]

whats next

[tacit bay]

Thats 10 charm slots though

[primal ibex]

#hk-help message

[torpid wadi]

||sharp shadow is mediocre at best||

[knotty karma]

yea

[zinc thistle]

what about this

[knotty karma]

perfect

[zinc thistle]

ight

[knotty karma]

how did i forget abt ||grubsong|| my beloved

[tacit bay]

And i would argue that ||spell twister|| doesn’t really add anything here

[primal ibex]

Where ||shaman||

[knotty karma]

how so

[knotty karma]

mid

[torpid wadi]

||shaman over sharp shadow and grubsong any day of the week||

[zinc thistle]

[unreal jacinth]

ZL i explored the area

[zinc thistle]

im rn js testing charm combos

[knotty karma]

[torpid wadi]

[zinc thistle]

nahh ||spells are my 1||

[primal ibex]

Breakable top left corner

[knotty karma]

no💔

just no

[primal ibex]

Next to a ||exploding bird||

[torpid wadi]

genuinely ||why would u use spells without shaman unless ur super early game||

the damage increase is insane on all of them

i guess maybe ||ddark for the iframes||

[knotty karma]

||shaman is for early/mid, twister and unb strength do the trick||

[knotty karma]

not

[torpid wadi]

😭

[fringe wigeon]

found it

[torpid wadi]

ok its hurting my brain to talk to u so i wont

[knotty karma]

i bet yall like ||MoP|| too💔

[primal ibex]

x1.5 is a lot for ||spells|| bc they already deal a lot of damage

[primal ibex]

A tier

[knotty karma]

not necessary

not worth it

[tacit bay]

why though
with ||unbreakable strength|| id rather just attack with my nail than put a charm on ||to reduce their cost|| and use them without ||shaman||

[primal ibex]

[knotty karma]

exactly

[knotty karma]

use them more>>>>>>>deal more damage

unless your aim sucks

also more soul is more useful in wayyy other situations

[primal ibex]

Do you know damage numbers?

[knotty karma]

yes?

[unreal jacinth]

k found him thx

[zinc thistle]

should i use an ||spell combo or attack combo or mix to fight against pure vessel||

[unreal jacinth]

i found like a caccon

[knotty karma]

attack

[primal ibex]

Have you seen how high ||spells|| are

[zinc thistle]

ightt

this should be alright then?

[unreal jacinth]

found a cocoon

[knotty karma]

not worth it

you can choose between faster heal and more ||spells|| or just higher dmage

[zinc thistle]

hmm i see

[knotty karma]

take off ||long nail and mop||

[primal ibex]

Have you wondered why almost every speedrun uses ||shaman||

[unreal jacinth]

ZL

[zinc thistle]

alright

[primal ibex]

Damage better

[zinc thistle]

should i add ||grubsong||

[unreal jacinth]

i found a cocoon

[primal ibex]

Interact with it

[unreal jacinth]

k

[knotty karma]

not

[twilit garnet]

u should use what is best for ur playstyle

[knotty karma]

speedrunners dont even get the charm

[vapid trellis]

How do I beat the ||watcher knights||

[twilit garnet]

if you use a lot of ||spells use shaman||

[zinc thistle]

how does this look

[primal ibex]

Only the ||ibaldur route|| doesn’t use it

[knotty karma]

ùno ||greed||

[fringe wigeon]

bruh

[primal ibex]

Every other route does

[knotty karma]

waste of time to get it

[zinc thistle]

wdym

[knotty karma]

heart*

[primal ibex]

||crossroads, under greenpath entrance||

[zinc thistle]

[fringe wigeon]

ik

[primal ibex]

Then why doesn’t every other route skip it

[knotty karma]

i use them a lot and still

[knotty karma]

you tell me, wr didnt get done by following routes other guys made

[twilit garnet]

||spells on top, so shaman on top||

they use these routes bc theire the fastest

[hardy stump]

are the any easy ways to defeat the || mantis lord ||

[primal ibex]

Exactly

[knotty karma]

not always, otherwise it would be only one route

[primal ibex]

Let’s go to #hk-discussion

[twilit garnet]

it is one route

aight

[knotty karma]

[primal ibex]
