[narrow anchor]

💔

[unborn wigeon]

I guess it’s better late than never

[minor gull]

|| crystal dash is so good || get it

[unborn wigeon]

This game has to hate me

[hallow idol]

it's okay he's a bit of a pushover... unless you're at 2 masks

[dense torrent]

dw its a pretty easy boss

[unborn wigeon]

I also feel like I should have more hp by now

Then again I did miss this area

[dense torrent]

if youre just going for progression chances are you wont get it naturally

it takes exploration to get ||mask shards|| naturally

[unborn wigeon]

I haven’t been trying to go for progression

It appears I’m just really bad at exploring

I do have 3 so far

Wow it was easy

Im now lost again as it looks like I need a ||double jump|| to progress

[dense torrent]

send a pic

[pliant furnace]

do you have ||crystal heart|| yet

[unborn wigeon]

Exactly what I’m looking for

[pliant furnace]

your at the becnh right

[unborn wigeon]

After the boss yes

[pliant furnace]

k

go left from it, then go down, then go to the right

you'll have to do some platforming

[unborn wigeon]

Where the map guy is?

[dense torrent]

kinda near the start

[unborn wigeon]

I remember finding a place I needed to jump for but fell into the ||resting grounds|| ya mean there?

[pliant furnace]

no

go left from bench

then go down

oops

not left

from bench

mb

i mean right

[golden cedar]

Guys I need help I think I just soft locked

[pliant furnace]

[solemn zealot]

You can't get softlocked I'm pretty sure.

[bright hamlet]

||there is breakable floor somewhere, find it||

[golden cedar]

I beat ||soul master|| and I did the ||doslete dive|| things and got stuck here

[pliant furnace]

ur not

softlocked

just try exploring

the area

[golden cedar]

There no other way out

[bright hamlet]

Left, climb wall

[golden cedar]

Well Ik I came from up there

Cuz I beat the boss and ||dived|| down here

[bright hamlet]

There us ||breajabke floor, use ur new spell to break it||

[pliant furnace]

is there a breakable wall?

[golden cedar]

Oh ok

[bright hamlet]

Floor, I remember cause I spent 2 hours tryna find it

[golden cedar]

Yeah I found it thks

[unborn wigeon]

I’ve found the ||crystal heart|| that took way to long

[sand pier]

when should I go to the ||queen's garden||

[dense torrent]

you probably cant get there yet

send a pic of ur inv

||queens garden|| isnt really important until later

[simple island]

you should not worry about when you go in places
the game is really good at only letting go places when it is appropriate

[simple island]

if you can go there, go there
if you can't go there, than whatever

[dense torrent]

i mean you could if you wanted to

[sand pier]

ill just get all the ability jawns first

[fallen grove]

what might be a reason me and my friend can't sync or hollow knight randomizer

[desert salmon]

Who can help with charm picking

[dense torrent]

you should go to #1057825333841240104

[desert salmon]

Check DMs

[opal forum]

I need help with ||absolute radiance on radiant||

[simple island]

pro tip : don't

[opal forum]

Why

[simple island]

(i mean yeah nah but like... its really bloody hard)

its by far the hardest ||rad ||fight

[opal forum]

That’s why I am asking help

[simple island]

i may have a wall somewhere...

[fallen grove]

what should I put for the room in the randomizer sync (got it to work)

[dense torrent]

putting yourself through hell for what 😭

[opal forum]

To be proud of myself💔

[simple island]

yeah I have
#hk-help message
thats mostly all I got for her

[bright hamlet]

What bosses am I missing

[simple island]

mostly stuff in ||pantheons||
end of ||grimm troupe||

[simple island]

one boss in ||kingdom edge||

[bright hamlet]

Leave those, anything in the main game? Like an optional boss maybe?

[bright hamlet]

Oh the shield guy, forgot about him, thanks

[scenic zealot]

||marcoth I think I probably spelt it wrong||

[bright hamlet]

Yeah I remember him now, thanks

[opal forum]

||marcoth on radiant is pure hell||

[simple island]

there isn't much specific for ||radabsrad|| btw
its just ||absrad ||but you can't do mistakes
I dunno if you were expecting some revolutionary tip but sadly there isn't really

its just bloody hard

if you want to see how I play I have a few recorded fights
||https://youtu.be/BuW2_xxemXI?si=_aAy2h_n5xfC7TVO||

[bright hamlet]

Also what at end of ||troupe? Nkg?||

[scenic zealot]

Well good thing I have no life

[simple island]

(there is a skin mod, but the function is the same)

[scenic zealot]

I'ma fight him

[simple island]

finishing the questline, whichever way

[bright hamlet]

Uhhh idk what to do after ||collecting the flames and beating and collecting the final flames...||

[opal forum]

He is pure hell

It took me 2 whole days

[opal forum]

Fight ||nkg||

[bright hamlet]

[gritty idol]

[bright hamlet]

[opal forum]

Yep

[frozen jungle]

IM DYING

IT DELT 2MASKS TO ME

I ALMOST DIED LMAOOOOO

[reef stream]

my controller isn't working for hollow knight :'3
weird thing being that it does work for silk song :'3

[reef stream]

oop-

das a close one

[frozen jungle]

(Talking about the floating white stick)

it ain’t meant to be in that arena

[reef stream]

i know :3

[scenic zealot]

Wait a damn second

[reef stream]

I already 112% something the game, getting into modded now tho :3

[scenic zealot]

That's not supposed to be there

[azure swift]

Yeah that just happens sometimes lol

[frozen jungle]

I jumped into it, took 2dmg, landed on boss and took another one

[azure swift]

Lmao why would you jump into it

[frozen jungle]

And yeah that ruined my rhythm but ||elder hu|| is free

[frozen jungle]

Because when I fought ||RAD|| same glitch happened and I could just phase through it

[azure swift]

Ive never seen that happen before, interesting

They pretty much always have hitboxes

[deep mulch]

Can anyone help me get in here please what am i missing

[ruby dirge]

Can someone help me with a boss

[frozen jungle]

Pretty sure you go to the right and have to go through that area that specific thing is just a short cut for later on

[frozen jungle]

Sure which one

[ruby dirge]

Why when ever I say his name I get a spoiler bot warning

[azure swift]

You dont go that way, it's a shortcut from somewhere else

[frozen jungle]

:| ||sly|| i my least fav outta the 3 but basically my strat for him is to just wait for him to do his 3 hit combo, attack when he lands then just run away until he does it again

[ruby dirge]

K

[frozen jungle]

And for the annoying phase I just dmg tank spamming dd

[ruby dirge]

Thanks I have been struggling with him in panteon 3

[unborn wigeon]

You gotta spoiler tag it

[ruby dirge]

@unborn wigeon how

[unborn wigeon]

||

Put that before and after the message

[ruby dirge]

||sly||

Ok thanks

I hate ||sly|| in the boss fight

[deep mulch]

im over here, I just came from the right already theres no way to get there by going right

[unborn wigeon]

There’s a good way to farm geo right

I’m trying to get 800 so I can upgrade my nail

[deep mulch]

If you have infected ||crossroads|| then just running around there for 20 minutes should get you enough geo

If not then kill that enemy in the room above the ||stag station|| I think he gets you 45 geo

[unborn wigeon]

I’m just gonna pretend that I didn’t read that

[tired hazel]

i’ve progressed sm in one day in hk and now im stuck and idk what to do, im kinda new so

[hollow bramble]

[tired hazel]

[patent ocean]

[dense torrent]

#1057825333841240104

[patent ocean]

thx

[tired hazel]

yeah i already got there and almost defeated ||broken vessel || the first time and now i cant even hit him

[zinc edge]

Depends, send an ss of your inventory/map and I can suggest places

[sand pier]

Actually now that I have all the mobility stuff should I just go back and get all the ||grubs||

[lucid inlet]

wait till you get the item that tells you where they are

[sand pier]

What item yo

[dense torrent]

theres something really useful for them that you prolly dont have yet

[sand pier]

When does that jawn come in

[dense torrent]

its in the ||tower of love||\

[old condor]

Basically like a map , it just pin points where the ||grubs ||are

[sand pier]

Ooh okok

Thank you gangy wangys

[lucid inlet]

you have to defeat a boss, but theyre pretty easy

you need a certian key to unlock the area they are in tho

[sand pier]

No

I dont know what those are

[zinc edge]

Huh

Alright

[dense torrent]

try to avoid unnecessary spoilers

[zinc edge]

My bad for that I assumed he was endgame based on his tone

[dense torrent]

its alright

its js better not to assume in this channel

[dense torrent]

do u wanna beat the game soon

[old condor]

I'm not sure where to ask this so I'ma just ask it here , ||at what point is the silksong game on , like before the HK events or after?||

[dense torrent]

i would try going to #hk-lore or #sk-lore maybe

[old condor]

Ight

[dense torrent]

and its most likely after

[old condor]

Yea she was kinda ahh in hk

[zinc edge]

Confirmed after

[fallen grove]

CAN SOMEONE HELP

[old condor]

Ight

[dense torrent]

#1057825333841240104

[lucid inlet]

idk what that is

[old condor]

Pretty sure it's a coop mod or something

[dense torrent]

@fallen grove youre unlikely to find an answer here, youre better to go to a modding channel

[old condor]

Or just try looking up guides on wiki or yt

[desert salmon]

Guys

Hi guys, I just beat ||soul master|| and I got the ||dream nail||. What do I do now. (I just beat ||brooding molek|| for fun)

[dense torrent]

send a pic of ur inv

[zinc edge]

Explore, there isn’t one set direction

[desert salmon]

But chronologically.

[old condor]

You can keep on exploring or just go towards the ending

[dense torrent]

having ||dream nail|| isnt a lot to go off of, if u send a pic of ur inv i can help

[zinc edge]

If you want I would suggest exploring the weird ||crystal area on the right of the crossroads||

[desert salmon]

How do I spoil attachments

[dense torrent]

click the eye icon

[dense torrent]

what the

[old condor]

Kinda homeless

[dense torrent]

first go back to the ||crystal peak||

youve missed something important

[desert salmon]

||crystal dash?||

[dense torrent]

yes, ur missing the ||crystal heart||

[desert salmon]

hm

I pogoed of my ||shade||

To get to the ||blue lake|| and then to ||resting grounds||

[dense torrent]

why did u do that lol instead of getting ||crystal heart|| first

[desert salmon]

My friend said so

He’s 112%

[zinc edge]

ggs

[desert salmon]

So I just

Listened

[zinc edge]

Don’t listen to your friends lol just play the game

[desert salmon]

Right

[dense torrent]

dont listen to anyone with 112 😭 🙏

[next falcon]

Hey in silksong I want to ||to upgrade my nail|| how do I do it? ||there's many options to buy||

[dense torrent]

112 just means they know ball bro

it doesnt mean they know everything

[hollow bramble]

go to ss help channel

[dense torrent]

#sk-help

[next falcon]

Ty!

[desert salmon]

So uh

[zinc edge]

Depends on your progression but wrong channel

[desert salmon]

How do I get to the metal below diamond and at the top of a mountain

[simple island]

-# what ?

[unborn wigeon]

I don’t wanna play this game anymore

[simple island]

yeah that can happen
this game is super stressful

i assume you lost all your geo ?
its usually loosing a, in the long term, rather insignificant amount of geo
that people start rage quitting

[unborn wigeon]

No just ||deepnest||

[sand pier]

should I head to ||deepnest for the dream nail|| after getting all the movement abilities

[dense torrent]

oh no

another ||deepnest || victim

what happened?

[unborn wigeon]

One of the bugs I hate the most

Fucking spiders

[simple island]

there is no right or wrong order, go where you can whenever you feel like it

[dense torrent]

thats not where it is

[sand pier]

where should i go then

whats next after the movement abilities

[dense torrent]

send me a pic of ur inv

[dense torrent]

true but some people want progression fast

not mindlessly walking around

[zinc edge]

||You still have your city crest right?||

[sand pier]

Where to big glawg

[simple island]

-# well those people are playing the wrong game for them then..

[dense torrent]

true

[zinc edge]

||Explore the right of the fungal wastes||

[dense torrent]

but however they wanna play ig

[sand pier]

Alr

[dense torrent]

||resting grounds|| for the ||dream nail||

its south of ||crystal peak||

[sand pier]

Are the ||resting grounds|| on the right of the ||fungal wastes||

[zinc edge]

Nope, that’s just where you should explore next

[sand pier]

Giggy goo!

[dense torrent]

for?

[zinc edge]

Opening all of the ||city of tears||, he still has the ||city crest||

He’s been there

[dense torrent]

how the hell did he get ||c heart|| before ||cot||?

[zinc edge]

Probably ||blue lake skip||

[dense torrent]

ohh yeah

[frozen jungle]

FCKK ||P5 UMMU|| I GOT COMBOED 3 TIMES, LIGHTNING, JELLYFISH INTO ||ACID||

[dense torrent]

||the p5 experience||

how do i enter ||PoP||? also what charms should i use for it

[sand portal]

Yo anyone know how to farm money? I nees 1800 ||geo||

[dense torrent]

youre probably too early game

[sand portal]

Wym?

[dense torrent]

send a pic of ur map

like ur areas

[sand portal]

Sure

Here man

[dense torrent]

go left of the ||kings station||

the big red guys

sit at a bench for them to respawn

are u trying to get the ||lumafly lantern||?

[sand portal]

Yes

[dense torrent]

ohh

what for?

[sand portal]

Idk just general

Hold on

For like ||crystal peak, deepnest|| and so on

[dense torrent]

oh alr

[sand portal]

I evem got the ||double jump and dream nail||

[mild oyster]

Can someone help me with ||hornet not holding back|| I desperately need tips

[sand portal]

Srry only fought her once I don't have tips

[sand portal]

So uhh how do I farm

[dense torrent]

i told u

kill the red guys outside of ||kings station||

go east in ||city of tears||

[sand portal]

But where is ||king station||

[dense torrent]

youll find it

[sand portal]

Sur

[mild oyster]

Yo do you have any tips for ||hornet not holding back||

[dense torrent]

wdym

like the ||hornet|| fight?

[mild oyster]

Yes the ||second encounter in kingdoms edge||

[dense torrent]

play really defensive

only when youre guarenteed to not get hit should you attack

and break the spike things as soon as they spawn

[sand portal]

Is this ||king station||?

[mild oyster]

Where are those?

[dense torrent]

wdym

[dense torrent]

thats the area with the red guys i believe

[sand portal]

Thnks

[dense torrent]

||kings station|| is js a bit more to the east

[mild oyster]

What spikes

[dense torrent]

she spawns them later in the fight

[mild oyster]

Ah

Also is pogoing a good strategy for her boss

[dense torrent]

in really specific cases yes

but sometimes no since she can parry

[tired hazel]

nope but you’re close, just to the right

[mild oyster]

Do you recommend I get more masks (I currently have 6 masks)

[scenic egret]

yes, also that is considered a spoiler in this channel because were strict about it

[mild oyster]

Mb I’ll try to censor more often

[dense torrent]

i mean its not really worth it

its a fairly easy fight

only if ur really struggling

[vast steppe]

is ||stalwart shell|| any good?

[scenic egret]

it is not unless youre facetanking something

[unborn wigeon]

My ass is too arachnophobic to be in ||deepnest||

[mild oyster]

Kk

[haughty grail]

no, she jumps a lot

Very common mistake

Some bosses you should almost never pogo and she is one of them

[mild oyster]

I mean during her ||attack where she launches her nail||

[dense torrent]

youre better off just to hit normally

[haughty grail]

id say hit from the side or heal

[dense torrent]

pogoing takes longer per hit than hitting normally does

[haughty grail]

Yeah

[mild oyster]

Oh and do I ||upgrade my nail again||

[dense torrent]

if you want to

[haughty grail]

How many do you have

[dense torrent]

but you really dont need to upgrade or get more masks

[mild oyster]

I only have the first upgrade

[mild oyster]

Kk

[haughty grail]

do it if you want ig

its very possible without

[mild oyster]

Kk

[dense torrent]

like i said, you should play pretty defensively during this fight

pogoing isnt very defensive or worth it during this fight

you can when she ||dashes|| if she just does a normal ||dash||

[mild oyster]

K I’ll try that

[dense torrent]

dont do it if she starts mid air

and finishes on the ground

[mild oyster]

Alr

[sand portal]

Bro the money farm actually works

I already got 900

[dense torrent]

niceee

youll unlock something later on thats even better

[sand portal]

Whar

What

I need to know

[dense torrent]

the ||colosseum||

[sand portal]

Isnt that like the highest point of map?

[dense torrent]

no

[sand portal]

Then why is it better?

[dense torrent]

each time you complete a ||trial|| you get 1k - 3k

depending on which one

[sand portal]

Dayum

That's crazy amount

How do I unlock it?

[dense torrent]

you dont necessarily unlock it

you find it

[sand portal]

Hmm okay

[dense torrent]

i can show u if u show me ur ||cot|| map

||city of tears||

[sand portal]

Ok

Hold on

Here

[dense torrent]

the elevator by ||kings station||

instead of going in it climb up it

youll see something on the right

an entrance

[sand portal]

Sure

Ok

[vast steppe]

i can't find my ||shade|| in this room and i had like 800 geo, what do i do

[dense torrent]

just keep listening, and the music will get louder as you get closer

[vast steppe]

i just turned my sound on and i don't hear the music...

[dense torrent]

you must have went into something then

[vast steppe]

oh i found it

[dense torrent]

if youre really close

[vast steppe]

i was scared for a second

[sand portal]

Im here but there is nothin

[dense torrent]

keep going to the right

[sand portal]

Wall

[dense torrent]

send a pic

cuz once u go far up enough there is an entrance

[sand portal]

This is the room I found

But there is just some expolise guys and that's it

[unborn wigeon]

That things more annoying than I thought it would be

[sand portal]

I know right

[dense torrent]

ohh

you might need to enter from somewhere else first

[sand portal]

It took me ages to beat this!

[sand portal]

Where

[dense torrent]

go to the right of the ||kings station||

[sand portal]

Ok

I got to ||kingdoms edge||

Is that good?

[dense torrent]

yes

[sand portal]

Ok

Nah I just died 2 times so I lost my money. Its too hard to get there, il stick right here. Frick colloseum

I might just gonna go to sleep

Yeah good night

[teal rivet]

do you guys know how to get ||into this door in godhome||

[humble garden]

Chat anyone give me tips to beat ||radiance||?
Im also kinda struggling with ||THK||
I havnt played the game for almost 2 months, so my movement and skills are kinda rusty

[lyric rapids]

For that idk

[lyric rapids]

The point is so funny for NO reason😭 anyways ||you have to beat 8 bindings to open it, theres 4 bindings in each pantheon, when u get one binding a circle will lit up there, once u get 8 itll open, the big circles ||are||upgradeded version of whats inside||

[dense torrent]

how do u get to ||p5||

ive done ||p4|| already

[humble garden]

Beat all existing boss in game ig

[unborn wigeon]

Wow the ||broken vessel|| was really easy

Nope

That’s not even close to the name

[dense torrent]

it is the name

ohh

[unborn wigeon]

THATS better

[dense torrent]

the first one

[unborn wigeon]

I have NO clue where I got that name from

[dense torrent]

i mean it technically is the same boss

[unborn wigeon]

There’s another one?

FINALLY

I CAN ||double jump||

[viscid socket]

Congrats

[unborn wigeon]

Wait what

[dense torrent]

its the harder version

hes faster

[unborn wigeon]

All risk no reward ass

[dense torrent]

there is a reward

its very big

but its important later

[unborn wigeon]

All I needed to hear

[dense torrent]

not now

[unborn wigeon]

I’m NOT ready for that thing but I ain’t leaving this area until I do

Better than going back to ||deepnest||

[dense torrent]

theres nothing else in this area

the area is split pretty much

[unborn wigeon]

I meant like the boss arena

[dense torrent]

ohh

its pretty hard

might be better to come back later

[unborn wigeon]

Nah I got 5 masks and a dream

[dense torrent]

still not very prepared at all

gl

[unborn wigeon]

Ty I’ll probably need it

[humble garden]

Chat anyone give me tips to beat ||radiance||?
Im also kinda struggling with ||THK||
I havnt played the game for almost 2 months, so my movement and skills are kinda rusty

[high wyvern]

Should I use the ||kings station|| bench or the ||kingdom’s edge|| bench?

[dense torrent]

depends on what ur trying to do

[high wyvern]

When fighting ||hornet||

[dense torrent]

||kingdoms edge|| lol

it would suck respawning in ||cot|| every time

[pliant furnace]

theres a hidden one

if youve found it

very close to ||hornet sentinel||

not sure if thats the one u were talking abt

[dense torrent]

its not really hidden

its just a breakable thing to get to it

cuz theres a sign right by the fight

[pliant furnace]

hidden enouhg

i guess

[dense torrent]

i mean ig

[high wyvern]

Oh thanks

[humble marsh]

which attacks are you struggling with?

[mellow peak]

Quick question before I ask my next question
How do I check my completion percentage? (I’m on switch if that matters)

[dense torrent]

once youre really close to beating the game

theres something youll collect

by really close i mean like 2 mins away

[pliant furnace]

wait i beat the game but what do you collect to view it

[dense torrent]

im not sure what its called but its an item in the ||temple of the black egg||

by the bench

[humble marsh]

|| world sense, you can get it by inspecting a tablet in temple of black egg ||

[humble garden]

Bru

[pliant furnace]

k thanks

[mellow peak]

Question about something
||Is it worth investing into an unbreakable charm? I’m currently at the traitor lord fight, all 3 dreamers have been defeated, I haven’t gotten any endings yet||

[dense torrent]

no not really

unless youre really struggling

they cost over 10k each

[humble garden]

||im kinda fighting THK recklessly even if i dont want to since i havnt played the game for quite a while. That makes it hard for me to make it to radiance.
Secondly, when i make it till radiance i spam it with 4 abyss shrieks and then i cant even last for 1 min straight cuz everything feels so fast paced. My movements are not on point, i kinda dash at wrong timings, etc||

[dense torrent]

play more defensively

especially for ||radiance||

[humble garden]

I see, im trying to not attack but again my hands are going off from what im thinking

[dense torrent]

thats probably not something that people can help with here

if you dont play defensively during ||radiance|| its going to be extremely hard

[humble garden]

Yeah, the main problem is my movements have gotten rusty. And i am unsure how do i get my movements like before again

Since im in endgame, there are no bosses to which i can practice

[dense torrent]

there is a way to practice bosses

but you probably dont have it yet

[humble garden]

||pantheons?||

[dense torrent]

no

||godhome||

[humble garden]

Oh

Yeah i dh it

[prisma aspen]

..

||wheres my geo||

[humble garden]

LMFAO

[dense torrent]

lmao

[prisma aspen]

Where is it?!? I put 4500 in it!!!!

[dense torrent]

thats so unfortunate

[prisma aspen]

I am so mad right now!

[dense torrent]

i put 12000 in it too

wheres my geo

[humble garden]

Sadly i had gotten spoiler for it that they scam

So i was aware

[prisma aspen]

I had no idea!

[frosty wraith]

||pleasure house in city of tears||

[humble marsh]

|| just be patient. it's ok if you play recklessly against thk as you get full health before fighting radiance and try to have as much soul as you can. against radiance, play passive and prioritise dodging before attacking. dash through the orbs, lightwall and horizontal swords. jump only when absolutely necessary. you can ddark the spikes to remove them and you can also use ddark for invincibility frames if you're in a risky situation. for phase 1.3, try to chip away her health while dodging the swords. do not use shriek here to build up soul for the next phase. in phase 2, radiance will spawn in the middle platform so you can shriek or spam upslash. in this phase, do not chase her. be patient and dodge the attacks and wait for her to come near you. the last phase is really easy. just don't panic and take your time ||

[dense torrent]

go beat up the ||banker ||to get it back

[prisma aspen]

||wheres the banker||

[humble marsh]

[prisma aspen]

I found her and I'm going to kill her

She will know pain

[wild magnet]

fuck i haven't beaten || hornet || yet

[dense torrent]

thats a lot of spoilers

[wild magnet]

forgot to put ||-

whats the best charms to beat ||hornet? (second fight) || (i have || stalwart shell soul catcher shaman stone dashmaster sprint master grubsong weaversong heavy blow long nal fury of rage thornes of agony flukenest defender's crest gloqing womb quick and deep focus life blood heart spore shroom shape of unn dreamshield fragile greed & strength and broken fragile heart ||)

[dense torrent]

if you want to relentlessly beat the shit out of ||hornet|| use ||stalwart shell||

to just fight it normally go with ||shaman||

im not sure what else

[unborn wigeon]

That boss is easy maybe I just ain’t built for it

[fallow vine]

In ||city of tears||

[slate marsh]

||Any tips with speedrun 1?||

[hollow bramble]

search for guide, i used firebron it works for the harder achievement too

[sand pier]

yo what is there to find here

I found a new ||mask shard|| next to ||deepnest|| but thats all

there isn't jack flip in ||fungal wastes||

theres a weird door here but thats all

Someone tell me if theres anything left to do

[dense torrent]

most likely not

not anything important anyway

he meant ||city||

[sand pier]

alright so off to ||deepnest|| then?

what is there in the ||city||

hold on ill send a picture of my map from there

[dense torrent]

i mean the message is probably outdated now

do u have access to ||cot||

[sand pier]

Im a little far in I got all the movement abilities

Should I check out those loose ends

[dense torrent]

send a pic of ur inv

[sand pier]

@dense torrent

[dense torrent]

go for ||ddark|| upgrade

and ||howling wraiths||

as well as nail

and ||mask shards, vessel fragments||

[tepid stone]

what charm build should i use for ||absolute radiance||

[sand pier]

Alright sounds good

You mean the ||spell|| upgrade stuff right

[dense torrent]

yes

[mighty shale]

Uhhm yey, any tips?

[dense torrent]

pogo when he ||dashes||

when he dives down hes gonna do the pillar attack thing

just stay near him when he does it

you can also pogo him from the side when he does that

[mighty shale]

hm

[tepid stone]

use ||steady body|| and|| quick slash|| so that when he does the spikes you can get close and get free hits

[dense torrent]

if ur in||p4|| i recommend that u practice it in the hall of bosses first

since you can js pogo instead

[dense torrent]

||sbody|| isnt really useful

[mighty shale]

Yeah I use All ||3 DPS buffs, steady body, and nmg.|| as my charms

[dense torrent]

not during that attack

[dense torrent]

||sbody and nmg|| arent very useful during that fight

[tepid stone]

i get really close to him so i can get a bunch of free his in

[mighty shale]

When do I use ||nailarts||?

[dense torrent]

still possible without ||sbody||

[dense torrent]

you dont need them in the fight

[mighty shale]

||sbody is too good||

[tepid stone]

its easier with ||sbody|| tho

[dense torrent]

not worth it

waste of a ||notch|| imo

[tepid stone]

its a rlly good charm for its price

[dense torrent]

not in this fight

it js blocks u from using better charms

but use whatever u want ig

[tepid stone]

i go right beside ||pure vessel|| when he uses the spikes and with ||steady body|| i can get a solid 150 damage in

[dense torrent]

still a waste considering thats not his only attack

other charms get more damage in over time

[tepid stone]

still makes a lot of bosses in ||pantheons|| easier

so i think its worth it

[dense torrent]

yes but hes most likely in ||p4||

not worth it for that ||pantheon||

[mighty shale]

Yeah and you expect me to use what? ||grubsong||? No ||sbody|| is really good, i'm still learning how to use ||nmg|| a little bit.

[dense torrent]

no

[vague fern]

you can also upslash

[dense torrent]

im not saying use another charm thats 1

its blocking u from using a certain higher cost charm

that helps way more

[tepid stone]

yea but im lazy so nah

[vague fern]

4th best charm in the game

or so

[dense torrent]

doesnt mean its the 4th best or best for that fight?

[vague fern]

for ||pv||?

[dense torrent]

yes

[vague fern]

yeah youre right... its probably 3rd best

[mighty shale]

The best charms are the ||3 dps buff charms|| and ||steadybody|| and ||nmg|| also this is a bit ehhh but I think that ||sprintmaster|| is a great charm.

[tepid stone]

also what charm build should i use for ||absolute radiance||

[vague fern]

normal or || radiant||

[dense torrent]

its horrid compared to others in ||p4||

[mighty shale]

best dps build duh.

[vague fern]

[tepid stone]

just regular

[dense torrent]

its a waste of a ||notch||

[tepid stone]

makes the game generally easier

[mighty shale]

"waste" try fighting a boss that takes kb.

[tepid stone]

kb?

[vague fern]

use the build you'll run in || p5 ||

[mighty shale]

without it.

[dense torrent]

i literally have?

[mighty shale]

knockback

[vague fern]

mental take.

[dense torrent]

ive done ||pv|| rad with no charms

not a flex but im saying its not worth it in the fight

[vague fern]

i do -1norab ||Pv||, its worth

[eternal mirage]

||S body sucks you can remove the recoil just by moving forward||

[vague fern]

oh boy

[dense torrent]

its really good

[mighty shale]

Why is ||sprintmaster|| in f tier? I mean I get that it's not that useful but I'd put it on C+ at least!

[dense torrent]

but not for every fight

[tepid stone]

but what if there is no room to move? like in|| pure vessels|| spike attack?

[dense torrent]

its worse than the others

[tepid stone]

its fun to play with

[dense torrent]

||sprintmaster|| doesnt deserve to be above ||hiveblood||

[vague fern]

thats because you're used to it, but the f tier is just charms that can be inhibiting even if they were free. in || sprintmasters ||case the extra speed can mess you up when you arent super accustomed it it, like || sshadow||
putting it in c tier is valid though

[mighty shale]

How is it worse than ||dreamshield|| or somethin?

[dense torrent]

cuz its useless in fights

[vague fern]

i couldve put it in c tier for sure

[tepid stone]

||hiveblood|| sucks ngl

[dense torrent]

have u done ||PoP||

[mighty shale]

Oh, that makes sense, I'm a big ||sprintmaster|| fan but yeah.

[vague fern]

but there is no downside to it at all besides || notches||, thats what f tier is for

[tepid stone]

soul totems exist

[tepid stone]

And the fact that it only regens 1 hp

[mighty shale]

||Hiveblood|| sucks most of the time, but it shines in the ||white palace||!

[dense torrent]

its still good?

[vague fern]

its terrible dont get me wrong, but there would be no downside if it was free

whereas some charms wouldnt be good even if they were free or gave you an extra || notch||

[eternal mirage]

There are no ||soul totems in white palace||

[dense torrent]

wdym

there are

[mighty shale]

`:|

[eternal mirage]

Normal palace

One comes after an hour

[mighty shale]

:/\

[tepid stone]

just equip ||grubsong|| and git gud

[eternal mirage]

Buddy I'm far better then you

[tepid stone]

and?

[mighty shale]

||grubsong + hiveblood|| = very good ||for white palace||

[dense torrent]

chances are if he had more to say he wouldve said it

[mighty shale]

Some guy told me that ||PoP|| is harder with ||nail extending charms|| somehow?

|||||

[vague fern]

it can be

[tepid stone]

maybe you could hit too early

[vague fern]

the reasoning is that it makes you tend to hit earlier because you're used to the range

[hollow bramble]

||sometimes u touch the spikes on the ceiling||

[vague fern]

but thats a user issue

[mighty shale]

I guess that makes sense, also the base nail length already pretty good.

[tepid stone]

true

[eternal mirage]

Can be

[vague fern]

theyre generally worth using for ||pop||

well || mop|| is

[eternal mirage]

I prefer ||L nail||

[mighty shale]

I prefer ||Dashmaster||

[tepid stone]

i can never even feel the difference with ||L nail||

[mighty shale]

Aight I need to practice ||Pure Vessel Boss|| adios.

[tepid stone]

||mop|| makes me feel like i have so much more range

[vague fern]

for platforming its just preference but for bosses its definitely worse

[eternal mirage]

||worse then mop but better than nothing||

[fervent violet]

hi

[lean pilot]

Funny that sometimes the extra range launches me into ceiling spikes

[versed sinew]

happy family

[native current]

adorable

[versed sinew]

all eepy

[native current]

😴

[fervent violet]

[versed sinew]

||longnail, shaman, twister, eater||

||not necessary to tank it, can use spells and play defensive as he has lot of hp||

[languid ravine]

@dense torrent yo hows good man

[mellow peak]

Question about something
||I wish to get the true ending or whatever ending, just the ending where you fight the radiance, but I know in the white palace there’s something called the path of pain. Is the path of pain necessary and if it isn’t, does it give me anything.||

[dense torrent]

no

it doesnt count to 112 either

however there is something in the ||white palace|| that you need

you need to do some platforming in there to access it

[mellow peak]

Alright
Thanks!

[fervent violet]

[prisma aspen]

[vagrant path]

[dense torrent]

[fervent violet]

👋

[dense torrent]

its like to the right of ||soul sanctum||

its the area to the right of the statue

in ||city of tears||

[fervent violet]

||u need a traversal ability||

[solid stag]

I'm new to hollow knight. I've been struggling. Any tips on how to beat this guy?

[fervent violet]

hit and run

[dense torrent]

you can completely skip him if you want

[dense torrent]

or this

[solid stag]

hi smashes the moment i've about to jump it's so annoying

[fervent violet]

dont jump

[dense torrent]

charms for ||PoP||? and how do i get to it

[mellow peak]

Do I lose out on anything depending on if I ||banish or keep the grim troupe||
I just want to know if there’s any pros/cons for my decision

[fervent violet]

above the bench secret wall

[native tinsel]

||Dont jump. Hit the guy and run away. Run back and repeat||

[dense torrent]

you dont fully upgrade the ||grimm child||

and you dont fight the ||nkg|| obviously

[fervent violet]

charm gone and charm gained

[solid stag]

thanks i did it.

[mellow peak]

I see

[native tinsel]

||If you banish, you get a better charm, if you dont youll get a better grimmchild||

[dense torrent]

i believe fighting him isnt needed as long as you ||banish||

[fervent violet]

||hiveblood, shaman/strength, sprintmaster, longnail||

[vapid forge]

Hey guys

[dense torrent]

wdym

[native tinsel]

Why ||sprintmaster||?

[vapid forge]

?

[fervent violet]

empty slot so...

[dense torrent]

above the bench in the ||palace|| is just an elevator

[native tinsel]

||Longnail does almost nothing, he is better off using mop :)||

[fervent violet]

and bonk his head by going too high

[vapid forge]

Can anyone send me a build for ||the radience||

?

[light vigil]

Guys tips to beat ||traitor lord||?

[spare pebble]

guys i'm wondering if this jump is possible? I've been stuck for half an hour after jumping down and there's no other path forward for me... if this is just a skill issue on my part I'll keep trying

[dense torrent]

also if i stop mid way through ||path of pain|| do i lose my progress

[fervent violet]

||qslash, strength, longnail, quickfocus||

[dense torrent]

youre missing something

you can get it by going to the left

or down i believe

[native tinsel]

||No, not with your current loadout|||

[vapid forge]

rutu_15 thanks!

[light vigil]

||try getting mantis claw to go on the walls||

[fervent violet]

a traversal ability

[native tinsel]

||You can find a mantis and pogo off it||

[native tinsel]

When will that happen

[light vigil]

Guys how do I beat ||traitord lord||

[spare pebble]

alright thanks i'll try that

[fervent violet]

||that long room with 1 sawblade and spikes close to ceiling||

[dense torrent]

anyone able to help me with this

[native tinsel]

||Dont jump. Shade dash trough him when he comes and stay close to him so he does less range attacks||

[fervent violet]

yes, u can't quit

[dense torrent]

so should i start on it when i have a lot of time to play

like how long should it take

[native tinsel]

||Thats one room in an entire parkour||

[fervent violet]

depends on ur skill

[fervent violet]

yes, but u don't want to be stuck there after all that progress

[dense torrent]

roughly tho

[native tinsel]

You can be stuck in the other rooms because you dont have it equipped

[light vigil]

Charms?

[dense torrent]

like 5 hours?

[fervent violet]

took me around 1hr 15 mins on my first time

[dense torrent]

[smoky sundial]

Is ||failed champion|| very hard

[fervent violet]

[smoky sundial]

||lost kin|| feels wayy easier

i defeated it in 4 tries

[fervent violet]

because its the easiest

[fervent violet]

he does double damage

[smoky sundial]

Even the cheese isn't working

The pets cheese

I know that but

I can't stagger

the boss even

[fervent violet]

It works tho

||hit is six times first, then dreamnail-hit alternate to refill soul bar, use shaman and spam spells||

[smoky sundial]

@fervent violet no i don't mean the

stagger one

I mean the ||weaversong|| one

[worn prism]

is there Instant transition in the game ?

[fervent violet]

I didn't know abt that

[fervent violet]

yes but later game

[smoky sundial]

it got patched I guess

Its like a bug cheese
(No pun intended)

[fervent violet]

i gtg eat bye

[smoky sundial]

Oh bye

[vagrant path]

[exotic wharf]

yea true

[wraith warren]

There is

[solid stag]

how many hits in total does the first boss take?

[languid ravine]

guys uhh why is || soul master so hard he is my 4th boss and the hardest yet ||

[smoky sundial]

You can skip him

[wraith warren]

Not very many

[smoky sundial]

I skipped him too

then do it when ur stronger @languid ravine

[languid ravine]

but will he be useful later on?

should i try like once more

[smoky sundial]

Yea

The item obtained after it is useful

[languid ravine]

his projectiles are the ones pissing me off

[smoky sundial]

You can but then it will be painful

[weak crown]

bro || p4 || is so hard (( || M_rkoth || ))

[smoky sundial]

Stay near the walls

and be patient

It takes time to kill him

[languid ravine]

yea hell no

i cant

[smoky sundial]

You can do it when u have a stronger nail

Or get ||shade soul||

@languid ravine first

then use it with ||shaman stone||

[languid ravine]

[smoky sundial]

that's another way to kill ||soul master fast||
