||Void heart seald brothers||

[native tinsel]

Guys I died on ||absrad|| climb 😭✌️

[jaunty forum]

Can you get ||claw|| without ||cloak||?

[native tinsel]

No

[void marsh]

||he isnt rlly that hard, dw. use longnail or mark of pride btw, (keep unbreakable strength and quickslash) and switch up to get one of the range charms. just dodge the attacks and attack quick its not hard||

[rain shard]

what?

[eternal mirage]

Poor thing

[void marsh]

🙏

[void marsh]

no

[void marsh]

u will suffer later on

dont worry abt it now

[copper quest]

||you dont know the endings||

[rain shard]

i know the ||endings|| but like what

[copper quest]

||dont dream nail the hollow knigh only attack him||

[jaunty forum]

Is ||path of pain|| that hard?

[eternal mirage]

Yh

[void marsh]

@native tinsel ||its only time consuming because of the bosses before it, absrad himself isnt rlly much harder than normal rad its js the last phase after the climb||

u can do ittt

[rain shard]

oh alright so just ||sealed sliblings ending||

[sly osprey]

What's a good charm build for ||trial of fools||?

[rain shard]

no

[void marsh]

depends, u like ||nails or spells?||

[void marsh]

yeah

[sly osprey]

I use whichever is easiest tbh, I'm fine with either

[copper quest]

||Yup with voied heart and mr mashroum all location||

[sly osprey]

I feel like ||nail would be better cause of all the air battles||

[rain shard]

alr, do i need new save?

[eternal mirage]

I gtg bye y'all

[void marsh]

its rlly important tho, do u forget to use ||spells||? like what do u use more

[rain shard]

bye

[void marsh]

then ill tell u

[sly osprey]

Nah, I use both

[void marsh]

can u send me ss of ur charms?

[sly osprey]

Like, pretty evenly

I usually just do builds depending on what I think would be best for the boss, you know. Some you can just hack them down, some you need a bit of magic

[void marsh]

yeah

[void marsh]

rq

[sly osprey]

Can't SS

[void marsh]

i got one in mind js makin sure u got them

[copper quest]

I need to go

[rain shard]

bye

[copper quest]

Bye

[sly osprey]

Bye bye

[sly osprey]

Bye bye

[rain shard]

bro what are the charms you have equiped 😭

[void marsh]

||quickslash and mark of pride and shaman are pretty solid, since u dont got unbreakable strength and u got only 9 notches||

[tardy niche]

||paintmaster.||

[sly osprey]

You can see em right there, boss. Don't know what you want me to say to this

[void marsh]

i recommend getting the ||last 2 notches tho||

that was the balanced build

[sly osprey]

Merci beaucoup. What would the ||spell build|| be?

[sly osprey]

Eh, I'll find em when I find em. It's all about the journey

[void marsh]

||spell build would be shaman, spell twister, soul catcher, grubsong and dream wielder||

[rain shard]

||for battle i will say unequiping the compass will help alot||

[void marsh]

thank god i got used to the map

[sly osprey]

Didn't have it equipped

[void marsh]

and didnt need ||compass|| anymore

[rain shard]

oh mb

[void marsh]

it was a blessing

[patent fern]

best build for ||abs rad||

[void marsh]

||mop, unbreakable strength, shaman and spell twister|| is pretty solid

[rain shard]

yeah i dont even need it till like ||rad|| for complete charms

[void marsh]

very balanced and efficient

the one above is my main build if im going balanced, my nail build would be ||unbreakable strength, mop, quickslash, steady body and nailmaster||

anyway gtg

cyall

[patent fern]

why ||steady body||

[fading pollen]

||after being pantheon 4 how do i get to pantheon 5?||

[late heath]

Above it a thingi spawned or sum hit it then go to where it shows in the cutscene

[tardy niche]

tips on ||paintmaster||? i keep dying on him

[jaunty forum]

Is ||kingsoul|| better or is ||void heart|| better?

[compact sparrow]

||P4 charms? I use deep focus and quick focus and strength and steady body but i die at the pur vessel||

[compact sparrow]

Second option

[jaunty forum]

ok

ty

[compact sparrow]

||Memorize the colors and use quickslash ig||

[tardy niche]

i really do memorize the colors, just taking too much damage to him

[compact sparrow]

Both the focus charms?

[near vector]

technically ||voidheart|| does nothing but ||kingsoul|| isnt really useful either due to its cost

[jaunty forum]

Is ||void heart|| free?

[near vector]

Yes.

[lyric zealot]

how many obtainable nothces are available in game?

[haughty grail]

||8||

||11 total cuz you start with 3||

[lyric zealot]

ah alr

[jaunty forum]

[jaunty forum]

9 I think

[haughty grail]

Total is 9 yah

[lyric zealot]

thanks

[hardy stump]

do you really have to beat ||trial 3 for the simple key?||

[wise frost]

[fallow oracle]

Fair

[late heath]

Nah bro the ||sibling shade pieces of shit killed me like 5 times when I was trying to light the beacon thing or whatever it is||

[wise frost]

[late heath]

Ye thats true

[lilac glen]

i have a question
When in ||Steel soul|| what happens if you die in a ||dream battle? do you still live or is it game over?||

[rain shard]

freak

[rain shard]

let me speed run ||dream nail|| then ill answer

[wise frost]

||you live with the sole exception of radiance and white palace, those count as actual deaths. other dream bosses don't end the run tho||

[bitter anvil]

What about ||pantheons||

[lilac glen]

||so if i fight Nightmare grimm and die; i'll respawn?||

[grim acorn]

Yes

[wise frost]

they don't count either

[lilac glen]

thank you all

[bitter anvil]

Do you die at ||P5 AbsRad||?

[wise frost]

I don't think so

[grim acorn]

I hope not

[rain shard]

[languid radish]

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/

[torpid wadi]

Idk if that helps

I know nothing about thsi

This

[frozen compass]

thx chuck and if u dont remember im the "star shelly" guy

[orchid flower]

||Your build looks rly good! I’d say practice GPZ and Uumuu outside of the pantheon first since they’re the common killers||

[odd hemlock]

Can anyone help me on the 2 ||bosses in the trial do conqueror||

[next nimbus]

tips for ||mantis lords||?

[orchid flower]

||You can use your spells to kill them pretty quickly||

[rain shard]

learn attacks they only have three

4 i guess

[next nimbus]

yeah that ive alrd done, but i still cant get past ||the first stage||

[orchid flower]

||Don’t take unnecessary risks, you can pogo on them when they dash across and hit them from the side when they fall down||

[short meadow]

there is a ||lifeblood cocoon in the top left of the room||

[rain shard]

i dont have a tip for ||the first phase||

[next nimbus]

oh alr

[next nimbus]

||isnt pogoing an unnecessary risk tho||

[orchid flower]

If you’re not comfortable with it I suppose

Just know the fight will be decently long if you don’t attack them as much

[next nimbus]

alr

[short meadow]

behind a ||breakable wall||

[sand pike]

[short meadow]

[next nimbus]

[short meadow]

[odd hemlock]

[next nimbus]

is it really worth allat for two hearts?

[short meadow]

yeah id say so

[orchid flower]

What seems to be the problem?

[next nimbus]

its fine vro 🙏

[short meadow]

aight gl

[next nimbus]

ty

[sand pike]

I WON

how do you compete his final quest

more falmes

bruh

i dont wanna

[next nimbus]

also gng what should my charm setup be (i own ||soul catcher, gathering swarm, thorns of agony, stalwart shell, dashmaster and fury of the fallen||) and ||5 notches||

[orchid flower]

||Honestly you don’t have much that’d make a significant difference, stalwart shell and soul catcher are the only ones I think would change anything||

[next nimbus]

alr

[scenic zealot]

Can someone give me tips for||pantheon 1|| because I keep dying to the last boss on it

[next nimbus]

||1 notch left should i do thorns of agony or nah||

[orchid flower]

I don’t see why not

[next nimbus]

alr

thanks

[hardy stump]

how do i get to the ||junk pit?||

[orchid flower]

||Try to always stay on one side of them||

||If you’re in the middle they’ll both attack simultaneously, but if they’re both on one side they’ll take turns||

[orchid flower]

It’s a breakable wall in ||Royal Waterways|| on the western side

[hardy stump]

can you mark?

found it

[torpid wadi]

||as soon as you get literally any other one notch charm use that. thorns nerfs you a little bit in adddition to its already bad effect||

[orchid flower]

Show ur map pls!

[next nimbus]

oh okay

[orchid flower]

I didn’t realize it had any associated nerfs

[torpid wadi]

the animation locks you in place meaning it takes longer to start moving again which also wastes some iframes

[next nimbus]

is that the only nerf?

[torpid wadi]

yeah. its not a big nerf, but by itself the charm isnt good, so overall its the worst ||one notch||

[next nimbus]

alr

[hardy stump]

now i can kill the uhh ||radiance?||

[orchid flower]

I hope u enjoy this lil quest

[hardy stump]

what is it`?

wait

are those the ||pantheons||

[civic badger]

Yes

[hardy stump]

oh nahh

i wanna first beat t||he radiance|| tho

[civic badger]

It logs every boss you kill so then you can take on the ||pantheons||

[civic badger]

You need a different item

[hardy stump]

which?

[near vector]

||Secrets lie within the dream nail, and once it is awoken it may peer into the minds of all.||

[civic badger]

||void heart||

[hardy stump]

alr got

[near vector]

||Nvm then just fight the hollow knight||

[hardy stump]

alr

[civic badger]

Then just go beat ||thk|| and ||dream nail|| him and you can fight her

[hardy stump]

yays

[sand pike]

[hardy stump]

[sand pike]

[civic badger]

Iirc there is a spot to ||dive||

[sand pike]

wat is lirc

[civic badger]

Oh ok i might be wrong

If I remember correctly

Its cap i

[hardy stump]

ok first ||radiance|| then ||pantheons||

[civic badger]

Base game ||radiance|| isn't that bad imo

[odd hemlock]

Get corned by both sides always

[orchid flower]

I’m not sure what to say other than do your best to avoid that happening, sorry Ik that’s not helpful

But if you can tell the same terrible situation keeps occurring try something to prevent it

[hardy stump]

my first 1% after 100% ☺️

[torpid wadi]

better late than never 💔

[acoustic sigil]

Shh I was too busy for this 3 second action

[proper summit]

||what are general tips on getting the "steel heart" achievment||

[near vector]

||dont die||

[proper summit]

but like tips for not dying

[frosty valve]

If I die what happens to my charms?

[ashen trail]

|| hive knight|| is cooking me

[hardy stump]

||the fragile ones?||

[ashen trail]

[proper summit]

||nothing unless they are fragile||

[near vector]

Nothing unless its ||fragile|| then it ||breaks||

[torpid wadi]

||play it safe and get power-ups early. for example, you can get a whole 6th mask before leaving crossroads. if you just want the achivement and not the 'feeling' you can save and quit close to death||

[frosty valve]

How do I know if it is ||fragile||

[proper summit]

ok

[proper summit]

there are only 3

and its in the name

[near vector]

It says ||fragile|| then charm name

||There are also unbreakable versions of them but thats kinda late game||

[proper summit]

for example ||fragile strength ||

[frosty valve]

Oh I see thanks

[proper summit]

and expensive

[proper summit]

||oh and if it is fragile then it gets destroyed when you die and you need to repair it if its not then nothing happens||

[sand pike]

i found this super secret door gng

[rapid wagon]

For the strength one it's 1000% worth it tho

[sand pike]

can it do smt here or

[rapid wagon]

Most of the time u find secret doors but it's just for the lore

[sand pike]

whats the lore

[rapid wagon]

I beat ||rad nkg||

Still need a decent charm build

[pliant gulch]

Don't you need || monarch wings|| though?

[hardy stump]

[torpid wadi]

[rapid wagon]

Every boss is sooo easy when you have them all

[orchid flower]

||Personally I’d trade out strength for shaman stone||

[sand pike]

ima shower rw

[rapid wagon]

The hollow knight in 2 mins

[sand pike]

cause i touch grass

[sand pike]

hollow knight was easy bor

final boss btw in the game

[rapid wagon]

Idk but look at a guide and the ones u didnt do

They are really not hard to get

[hardy stump]

i accidently unlocked another end

[rapid wagon]

It is

[sand pike]

aight see ya

[rapid wagon]

It's not

[exotic wharf]

@rapid wagon bro got tired of people asking him

[rapid wagon]

Nah its fine

Im stuck against the ||pv||

So i chat with people

[exotic wharf]

it's funny bc I'd asked if you didn't put that

[exotic wharf]

what I did was practice him on the ||hog||

[rapid wagon]

Yeah I do

[exotic wharf]

so I'd recommend it

[rapid wagon]

But I unlocked him today so I wont beat him fast without trying enough

Rip

[exotic wharf]

if you really want to get better results on the|| p4 beat him on ascended||

[exotic wharf]

fair enough

good luck

[rapid wagon]

Thanks

[exotic wharf]

and have fun

[rapid wagon]

I can go to the black tentacules

[exotic wharf]

he's my personal fav 😗

[rapid wagon]

Of course

[rapid wagon]

I prefer ||nkg and radiance 🙄||

But im sure that when ill get used to it I'll love the fight

[exotic wharf]

||I've beaten nkg on rad and meh||

[rapid wagon]

Because I beat ||rad nkg|| even if I dont need to

[exotic wharf]

you will

[rapid wagon]

Yeah

||Radiance|| is honestly the best boss in the game

Nothing compares

The fight is just 🤌

[exotic wharf]

I'd say it was easier than I remember?

[rapid wagon]

Yeah its kinda easy

Can't wait to try ||abs rad||

[exotic wharf]

||idk why but I left hollow knight to play silksong and wanted to warm up with him but it wasn't even a warm up ||

[exotic wharf]

same

[rapid wagon]

Silksong is that hard ??

[pine zinc]

No it aint

[rapid wagon]

I bought hollow knight a week ago

Im gonna get all achievements and hop on silksong

[exotic wharf]

not really 😔💔

[exotic wharf]

good luck on that 😋

[rapid wagon]

Thanks

[exotic wharf]

||steel soul was fun ||

[rapid wagon]

Yeahh

[torpid wadi]

subjective

[exotic wharf]

like hella but kinda disappointing

[rapid wagon]

Im a bit lazy to start the steal soul now cuz ik I won't sleep for days

[rapid wagon]

Ah

Don't say anything

[exotic wharf]

I've beaten it in a day

[rapid wagon]

I'll look at it myself

[exotic wharf]

||and got the compilation speed run with it ||

[rapid wagon]

Well yeah if I try now its easy but like It's the first time I play hollow knight and anything close to it

Im kinda proud of my progression

It took me 19 tries for ||nkg||

[exotic wharf]

yea you should it's really good progress for a week

[rapid wagon]

And 24 for ||radiance||

[exotic wharf]

but either ways you should be proud you're having fun not what achievements you got

[rapid wagon]

Yeah

It's a flex to be good at this game

[exotic wharf]

either ways that's my opinion on the matter of the game

[exotic wharf]

yea

[rapid wagon]

But it's also good to have all achievements

It took me a whole week to get 111%

||But doing p5 and the speedrun + steal soul 100% will probably take more than that||

What ?

Wdym

[torpid wadi]

spoiler tags please

[hardy stump]

yes

beat the ||radiance||

[rapid wagon]

I already killed it

[acoustic sigil]

He's saying he did

[rapid wagon]

Yes ?

[acoustic sigil]

Either spoiler tag it or delete it

Yes idk either it's not for this channel

[rapid wagon]

But rn I cant get past ||pv||

😓✌️

[acoustic sigil]

Any specific attacks you are struggling with

[rapid wagon]

Nope

I can dodge everything

But

Its hard to keep up

||Like I hate it when im forced to use the shadow dash for an attack and then he attack as soon as I do||

[acoustic sigil]

Preventive jumping away does wonders

It does decrease your damage output a bit

But if it increases your survivability, why not

[rapid wagon]

||But he end up on top of me with those spikes 😭||

Just need pure reflexes

Or absolute patience

WHICH I DONT HAVE

[torpid wadi]

he goes where you were, so just dont change directions midair

and run back into him

ofc you have to figure out the optimal distance away so you arent hit by the spike

[rapid wagon]

I feel like when I try him a lot without a break I keep dying over dumb stuff

But like when I slept

For 17 hours

I tried it

And got to the black tentacules first try

[torpid wadi]

huh, i wonder why that could be...

[rapid wagon]

Probably cuz im playing all day and night 😭✌️

And im tired mentally

This game is the best at this 😓

Killing the players from the inside

[torn kettle]

hey whats the difficulty of the bosses in ||p5||

[rapid wagon]

||Radiant i think||

[torn kettle]

is it ||attuned|| or ||ascended||

[rapid wagon]

Idk tbh never tried it

[orchid flower]

All but a good 5 of them are decently easy for that point of the game

[torn kettle]

||radiant|| is no hit

[rapid wagon]

Yeah

[orchid flower]

||Oh, they’re in their ascended arenas but not the same health||

[rapid wagon]

Ah okay

[orchid flower]

||Ascended generally has more health than P5||

There may be a few exceptions

[torn kettle]

so ||ascended|| difficulty but no double damage?

[rapid wagon]

||So where do u fight their radiant form except in the training place||

[orchid flower]

Yes

[orchid flower]

Only there

[torpid wadi]

||attuned|| hp as well

[rapid wagon]

Ahh okay

[torn kettle]

alright

thanks

want topractice ||pv||

just died on him ||p5|| run

[rapid wagon]

Yeah he's annoying

But the fight is entertaining

Blink and u get hit

[orchid flower]

The ||attuned PV|| is the same as ||P5||

[torn kettle]

i swear it parries more

[orchid flower]

I didn’t think there was an AI difference

[torpid wadi]

thats just random chance

[fallow oracle]

Luck

That's why I don't recommend||shade cloak spam||

[torn kettle]

how do you dodge

then

[torpid wadi]

which attack

[torn kettle]

all of them

like to be more

cautious with the parries

[fallow oracle]

Pogo

[torpid wadi]

||for dash, jump
for triple slash, double jump and pogo
for pillars, just mot to one side
for daggers, find a safe spot
focus, easy
tendrils, double jump and dash to him then pogo||

[torn kettle]

if i accidentaly hit a parry can i just pogo?

[fallow oracle]

I usually ||ddark|| on his ||tendrils||

[torpid wadi]

sure that works too

[fallow oracle]

You can, but you need good reaction

[rapid wagon]

Yeah the tricks are easy but u can do none without training and actually getting used to it

||My fight against radiance (also the first time I beat it ) i was so locked in i realized it hit me once only when i rewatched the clip||

[fallow oracle]

||ssoul|| is pretty useful against some of his attacks

[unreal frost]

how do i do the gray bar over text

[rapid wagon]

All ur text between ||

[wise frost]

add two pipes (||) on both sides of the text you want marked

[rapid wagon]

Like 2 from each side

[torpid wadi]

[torpid wadi]

[torpid wadi]

lure over the ||vengefly||

[pliant gulch]

Ok I'll try

Actually I'm already in ||greenpath|| I'll just do it normally

[rapid wagon]

Guys btw i have a question

||I saved zote but i didnt see him in the coloseum||

[fallow oracle]

You have to do it again

[wise frost]

||he appears in deepnest after the first time saving him and then he'll be in colo||

[rapid wagon]

He's still stuck

[unreal frost]

does the door to ||P4|| open after ||beating every boss in P4,|| or from ||beating all pantheons before it||?

[rapid wagon]

||I saw him in deepnest too but i didnt save him this time||

Every boss

[wise frost]

do that

[torn kettle]

all ||pantheons|| before

[rapid wagon]

Okay

[wise frost]

free my boy

[unreal frost]

thenks

[rapid wagon]

But wait

[acoustic sigil]

Spoiler tags

[rapid wagon]

I need him for ||pantheons|| right

[wise frost]

no

[rapid wagon]

Ah

[wise frost]

you can totally skip without losing anything if you really want

[rapid wagon]

Than ill skip it

[fallow oracle]

You get an achievement from steam but that's it

2 of them

[rapid wagon]

Cuz if i see him i might spam ||abyss shriek|| on him

He pisses me off

[rapid wagon]

Achievement ??

Then imma kill him

[wise frost]

I love him lmao

[fallow oracle]

At least he isn't permantly on ||dirtmouth||

[rapid wagon]

Yes

Getting all achievements is a pain in the ass 🥀

[dire locust]

It is

[rapid wagon]

Especially that speedrun 2

Idm abt steal soul mode

[torn kettle]

You get the achievement for not saving him in ||crossroads||

[fallow oracle]

?

[rapid wagon]

Yeah i need to do another save file

[fallow oracle]

||crossroads||?

[rapid wagon]

Yeah ?

[rapid wagon]

From that big mosquitoe

[rapid wagon]

Yeah its not hard to get

[torn kettle]

yeah from the ||vengefly||

[rapid wagon]

But its annoying

[fallow oracle]

Isn't it on ||greenpath||?

[rapid wagon]

Nope

[fallow oracle]

Bc I'm pretty sure it's right next to ||baldur shell||

[dire locust]

||Zote is on the path leading to Greenpath, from Crossroads||

Oh no

[rapid wagon]

This is ||crossroads|| right

[dire locust]

He's in ||Greenpath||

[gaunt breach]

How do I ||get the geo cache in the kings station||?

[dire locust]

||It's the top bit of Greenpath that looks like Crossroads||

[gritty idol]

break a hidden thing

[rapid wagon]

Ahh okay mb

[gaunt breach]

Ty

[fallow oracle]

Below ||howling cliffs and above greenpath||

[dire locust]

||If you're in that area, the Greenpath map shows up when you open quickmap||

[fallow oracle]

It's a hidden path

I didn't find it until my third playthrough

You need ||mantis claw||

[dire locust]

Damn

[west quarry]

What charms should i run for the 2nd half of ||pantheon 2||

[dire locust]

||I'd recommend whatever you're comfortable with for p2 in general, it's the easiest pantheon imo. Stuff like quickslash and strength work fine||

[torn kettle]

||quickslash strength mark of pride||

[west quarry]

Alright, the one biting my ass is ||nosk|| but i think i just need to git gud

[torn kettle]

When he runs to the left

sit on the right part of the lowest platform touching the middle one

he wont hit you

free soul

whe he runs right go back up

[dire locust]

You can cheese

[west quarry]

holy shit alright

[torn kettle]

reread

[west quarry]

Knowing this ||Nosk|| has become lightwork thanks

[torn kettle]

nice

[lyric zealot]

to make the ||unbreakable charms|| do you need dlc?

[rapid wagon]

Nope

[torn kettle]

yes

[rapid wagon]

Huh

[west quarry]

dlc is free

[dire locust]

You do

[lyric zealot]

summoning ||grim troupe|| requires dlc?

[rapid wagon]

No need to beat him yo talk

[torn kettle]

||grimm|| dlc

[torn kettle]

yes

[dire locust]

||But dlc content is free and already available when you buy the game||

[torn kettle]

yeah but its still part from the dlc

[west quarry]

its not really dlc its more an update ima be honest

[torn kettle]

how much progress you got into the game

[dire locust]

||You just have to find where to unlock Grimm troupe in the game||

[rapid wagon]

I think i got ||strenght|| before beating ||nkg||

[rapid wagon]

Ahhhh

Well yeah obviously u need to unlock it

I thought he meant beating ||grimm||

[west quarry]

i think im at like 100 percent ||im doing all the pantheons||

[dire locust]

||True, but everyone calls them dlcs so that's what we're going with ig. They are dlcs tbf, it's just that pretty much no other game has given free dlcs||

[torn kettle]

you're gonna be really upset when you get to ||p5||

[west quarry]

Oh ive heard all the horror stories

[gaunt breach]

What charms are good for ||watcher knights ||?

[rapid wagon]

||Quick slash strenght mark of pride||

[gaunt breach]

I don’t have ||strength||

[west quarry]

||shaman stone||

[rapid wagon]

Uhh

[rapid wagon]

Get it tbh its soo op

[gaunt breach]

It’s sooo expensive tho

[rapid wagon]

15k is cheap for how op it is

Look up ways to get geo fast i promise u can get 15k in less than 1 hour

[dire locust]

||15k is a tough grind if they're just doing watcher knights||

[rapid wagon]

Still gonna help him with every boss

Its a must have

[dire locust]

||Shaman stone and spam descending dark||

[rapid wagon]

Meh

Nail build is better as they are a lot

[gaunt breach]

I only have ||ddive|| is that a problem?

[dire locust]

That'll do the job

[west quarry]

I was expecting ||paint master sheo to be a hard fight but i only took 2 masks||

i need to have more faith in myself

[gaunt breach]

I have all the ||level one spells not the shade variants yet||

[dire locust]

No worries

[rapid wagon]

Tbh if you're doing a normal progression

I prefer getting everything then doing all the bosses

As everything become WAAAAY easier

||shaman stone spell twister and soul catcher|| actually so much better ty

[quick gull]

||Anyone have any tips for the spike section in Trial of the Fool? I run a nail based build using quick slash, unbreakable strength, mark of pride, unbreakable heart I'm thinking about using sharp shadow instead of unbreakable heart. The armored squits are the hardest part for me so if there are any specific tips for those I'll take them.||

[dire locust]

👍

[dire locust]

||Do you mean the bit where the floor is all spikes?||

[dawn meteor]

What build should I use for p5?

[rapid wagon]

How do I dodge the black tentacules of ||pv||

[dire locust]

||Jump and double jump||

||And then dash towards him and pogo||

[dire locust]

Prayers 🙏

[quick gull]

||where you have to exclusively wall jump, I make it to where the ceiling comes down and then typically am at super low life so I run out there||

[dawn meteor]

Real

[rapid wagon]

Alright

[dawn meteor]

||marktoh is too hard||

[rapid wagon]

Didnt think it had a big range

[dire locust]

I'm honestly not sure of a good strategy for this. For me, I kept brute forcing it until I got it. Your build is fine, just work on pogoing on the enemies

[dire locust]

||Just abyssal shriek him||

[quick gull]

RIP, I've been working on it for almost 10 hours lol

[dawn meteor]

Ok

[dire locust]

Ten hours?? Oof

[torn kettle]

||quick slash mark of pride unbreakable strength, and personally i use fragile heart but you can use grubsong or steady body for true dps nail build||

[dawn meteor]

Ty

[sand pike]

im back

where my goat at

@rapid wagon

[quick gull]

I am not good, but I will brute force anything lol. I didn't look at my start time for ||white palace|| but it was over 20 hours.

[primal horizon]

Guys || i have super .dash .dash shadow. dash. double jump .swim in acid || where should i go ?

[sand pike]

try exploring ||green path ||

[primal horizon]

ok i'll

[dire locust]

Well, if you're having fun, I won't judge 😭

[vestal estuary]

you can also swap ||mark of pride for shaman stone|| depending on personal preference

yeah give that a shot

you need it for the ending

[primal horizon]

should i beat ||uumuu ?||

[torn kettle]

yes

[versed reef]

required

[primal horizon]

what ||charms|| i need to use ?

thats my ||charms||

[versed reef]

||honestly longnail helps here||

[vestal estuary]

||quickslash|| 100%

[surreal steeple]

I FINALLY BEAT ||p3||

so

how hard is ||p4||

[vestal estuary]

harder but not super hard

[surreal steeple]

ic ;-;

[versed reef]

||same level imo||

[surreal steeple]

would my nail build work in ||p4||

[torn kettle]

i almsot killed ||pv || in ||p5|| bro i dont want to do it aall aagian

should i try again now or try later

[vestal estuary]

||quickslash|| is absolutely it for ||umuu||
that and ||steady body|| maxes dps per ||vulnverable phase||

[surreal steeple]

this is what i have rn (used in ||p3||)

[versed reef]

what is it (answer is probably yes)

i see

that's pretty good

[primal horizon]

||But the mark of pride is better||

[surreal steeple]

ok I'll just use that then

[versed reef]

meant to combine it

||uumuu always ends up getting stunned too far for me so i found using mop/longnail/quick slash helps||

[vestal estuary]

a fellow ||nmg|| appreciator i see
truly one of my favorite combat mechanics in the game

only issue is that ||strength|| doesn't apply to ||nail arts||

[surreal steeple]

wait

what

[versed reef]

but if you have only ||7 notches|| just drop ||longnail||

[surreal steeple]

NOOOOOOO

[sand pike]

||yo how many notches are there||

[surreal steeple]

does it atleast apply to normal nail

[versed reef]

||11||

[vestal estuary]

there's ||11 notches||

[vestal estuary]

yes
i fixed it with a mod tbh

[torn kettle]

yeah bro

[surreal steeple]

welp

ig I'll be switching to spamming nail

and ||spells||

[vestal estuary]

||nail arts|| are still good tho

and if you get that mod (||charm fixes||) they become really good

[surreal steeple]

I wanna stay vanilla atleast for my first 112% (if I even get there)

ty tho

help I'm dying to freaking ||lost kin|| of all bosses

;-;

[vestal estuary]

yk technically ||p5|| ain't part of 112%

[surreal steeple]

it's the ghosts bru

[surreal steeple]

ik

but ||p4|| is

so

;-;

[vestal estuary]

yeah

[lyric zealot]

wait wait defeating ||hollow knight|| finishes game?!

[vestal estuary]

you can load the save again

[lyric zealot]

WHATTTT

[vestal estuary]

you'll be at the last bench you sat on before killing him

[lyric zealot]

he was easy tho...

thought last boss would be harder

[surreal steeple]

yeah he's kinda easy

[lyric zealot]

if I go to fight ||radiance|| then wont he be in place of ||hollow knight??||

[surreal steeple]

but yk

[lyric zealot]
