This is normal
Guys im struggling with ||enraged guardian||, does that mean im not ready for ||radiance||?
you're very underprepared
||Radiance|| is much more difficult
||where is deep focus||
They’re meant to be one of the last battles of the game, so I’d power up more
||Spells||
they what 😭
How do i know im ready for him
||spam ddark when u get enough soul||
her*
brekable wall going towards left, look below where you ae
It’s a breakable wall in one of these spots
i’m assuming it’s cause there’s a ||dreamer|| up ahead
I can’t recall which one
its the left one
but idk how to progress if i don’t beat that ||dreamer||
Just explore
Don’t focus on progression for a while
You’ve been neglecting your side stuff, that’s why you have so few tools
i’ve largely explored every area i have
||look on your map for places where it's cut off, fades out or looks sketched||
ik there’s ||deepnest|| but idk how to get therr
It took me 30 tries for that dw
send some pics
How do i know im ready for ||radiance||?
You won’t until you try
Just test it out and see if you can do it
But im struggling with ||enraged guardian|| rn, should i give up that and go beat the game
Do whatever you’d prefer
I mean the ||mask shard|| wont be useful cause im not doing ||flower quest|| for the last one
I GOT MORE || NOTCH||
Ok
What help do you need
Do i need to refight ||hk|| if i die to ||radiance||
Would this tech still work || https://youtu.be/Pnp57WeuDZc?si=-vItCvOTDOhSJvRq||
Yes
Wtf thats going to be so hard and stressful
Welp
would this work yall ?
||are you expected to use different charm builds for different bosses? like in some bosses theres a lot of chances to use spells but some others are really nail heavy||
Yes
oh
Which one you on?
im just thinking about ||hall of gods and the pantheons||
||In hall of gods for sure, but pantheons you gotta pick a good charm build for alot of different bosses||
||im thinking about switching between shaman and mark of pride between pantheon benches||
is ||wayward compass|| even worth ot
yes
or better question is ||dream shield|| good
s tier charm
no
For first playthrough yes
Def
okay this is conflicting
How do you get ||dash||
hey so I just unlocked|| my dash and found this knight when I went up the well again||. What is this supposed to mean😭 🙏
cause i need another ||charm notch||
?
hard to explain I started a few days ago
||tiso||
you should talk to him
Ohh
I did but where do I go?
which areas have you unlocked
mb yall Im new still😞
its not smth u should worry about at this stage
You need to defeat ||Hornet||
oh alr
oh wait ||zote or tiso||
idk...
cause both can spawn up there
doesnt really matter
both have cool stories
It just said t||here was an arena down below and "follow if you dare"||
I didnt pay attention to the name
Which I realized is a good thing to do in this game
yeah so how do i make it up there
Other side
||I believe the entrance is in another area||
hi guys is there any tips on how to || beat the boss in stone sanctuary? ||
||Spells||
||play safe, if u stay at the bottom, u cant get hit so if u want to you can play really safe and only hit her when she spawns close||
thank you so much omg :))
Guys, what should i do if hk gets boring😭
Sk
||react, don’t predict the projectiles, atleast that’s what I tried to follow until I realized that I suck at the game||
||bot told me to spoiler mark this for whatever reason, but do Obobbles on Radiant. Sorry if I spelt it wrong||
I'll try
||I beat absolute radiance on radiant diff but can’t do this boss on radiant, gl||
||absolute radiance on radiant?||
||yea||
How do I spoiler an image?
Click on it before sending
On mobile press the image

Yes I play on switch, shush
||why no attuned||
||i got lazy 😭||
||I only don't have radiant 😔 ||
||I only beat abs radiance on attuned ✌️||

Ye
||To the left of fog entrance||
I forgor to spoiler 👍
Does he know?

whats in here
if they scam you
||lifeblood for pantheon 5||
||You beat them up at City for more money||
||When you do bindings you unlock those lil dots and when you reach big dot you will have lifeblood at pantheon benches||
o ok
||More big dots more lifeblood||
||it goes from 3-5 life blood masks||
||I have 3 lifeblood masks in pantheon 5 and i need more, but it's hard to get😭||
I have my own statue now

Easy
And i cant even get past the first room 😭
the fact you did it with a mobile joystick makes it even more of a flex
Yeah I can’t imagine how difficult mobile would be
||does the game end after beating the hollow knight or can I go back and collect all I'm missing afterwards||
I think I'm missing that ||worm, is there any way for me to know where it is?||
There’s a map that shows all of them
||theres a way to locate every grub, you gotta find the love key bottom right of queen garden and go to tower of love in kings pass||
Umm, ye
bros even on mobile
that’s crazy
ever heard of this thing called steam link
it’s an app that lets you play select steam games on your phone or ipad. completely legal.
oh cool
i dont know about the legal part...
it’s owned by steam
steel mode?
Ye
didnt know that
when you click play on a game there might be an option on the right of the play button to do it on a mobile device
hollow knight has it

not silksong tho
oh shoot this is the wrong channel
i thought this was #hk-discussion sorry
Kind of a niche question but does anyone have any experience with controller modifications? I'm primarily a keyboard and mouse gamer and I hate the feel of my dpad on the steamdeck. Feels like I am constantly missing pogos or upflings if I don't press it at the right angle. Thinking about getting a clicky dpad but I'm just curious what people here prefer and if there are any downsides
i dunno i have it on switch maybe try using the joycon if thats possible
sorry i dont have a steam deck so
Beautiful
did you save them all
Yessir
What happens after you beat ||NKG||?
The ||Troupe leaves Dirtmouth permanently.||
Ooooooo
You can keep playing after you beat it
||Already got most of these and the upgrades to the spells, should I go for HK or should I get something else before?||
||Oh I'm missing 2 pieces of mask||
bench then go back
He’s helping them 😂
I hope so, dayum
lmao
||Dream nail|| him lol
it's pretty crammed in there, not helping
my buds are metamorphasizing, that seems fun tho
pls help im stuck on ||p3|| and cant beat ||gray prince|| please help
any tips work
||Practice him in Hall of Gods is all I can say. Descending Dark will help with i-frames. Hit him once or twice, and don’t get greedy. Stay a little bit away from him...||
ill try it
I was like you, and ||GPZ took the fun out of the game for me lol. I practiced him in Hall of Gods|| over and over until I could beat him with mostly full health.
oh ok, my plan before was to just ||create anothre save that doesnt rescue zote so i just skip gpz in godhome AND keep bretta to myself|| but i do want my first save to be the one i 112%
more roundabout than a perfect circle gahhdamn
This was my exact plan too lol, and then I beat ||P3. Ngl I’ll probably still do the new save just so I don’t have to deal with Zote anymore.||
||wheres the mask shard in the false knight room located||
Pretty sure there is none
ye i read the map wrong
what are the ||giant hopper things|| in ||kingdoms edge|| and how do i kill them
Wdym what are , they are mobs , you can just ||hit dash dash back hit and goes on , shouldn't be too complicated to learn ||
well i know they are mobs but what ate they called
||Pretty sure it's great hoppers||
k thankz
What to do next?
Thank you
||how do you kill the big bug guys in hollow nest, the one with the masks. They seem impossible||
You mostly just bait them and take it slow , if there is an edge you can climb on it bait them and then jump hit , untill you get enough soul for ||spell|| and then just spam that
Or just pogo if you have space
||I wish, I'm in the distant village where I get trapped by the dreamer i think||
Some of them there has space but most of them doesn't so yea
Just bait
||Hit them right when they open their mask, then dash away quickly so you don't get hit. Keep doing that multiple times, you can also use spells :)||
it's a very brief moment when it's safe to hit them
i just made it to ||deepnest||, am i really stuck here until i explore everything?
i can’t make it back to ||fungal wastes||
Where are you currently, if you have a map at all? Which way did you enter?
you can definitely get out through many ways even though it is quite tricky
i entered through ||fungal||
but there’s probably multiple ways
for that
||Did you drop down through a huge hole or go past Mantis Lords?||
those are the main ones I don't think there were others
okay wait i actually have a bit of a dilemma
the part where i need to go is dark but i don’t have the ||lantern||
i have enough money for it but like no way to get there
oooooh I've been there yeah
wait mayb i could use the ||tram|| to get to ||ancient basin|| and go back up
i ended up grabbing the ||pass||
oh yeah if you have that u can def go that way
||theres 2 more ways out to Fungal Wastes, if you go towards the up-right corner of the area, but many of the rooms are really hard to navigate. If you're already familiar with ancient basin you can definitely take the tram||
what should i use for ||p3||? i have all charms and i have to fight ||gpz||
||mark of pride-Quickslash-strength combo is the best to deal with Zote||
He’s a very nail centric battle for consistent damage
ive tried but for some reason i keep dying.
should i try running ||unbreakable heart|| over ||longnail||?
||longnail|| is pretty worthless
Its increase is so minimal that it’s not worth the 2 ||notch|| cost
I believe it’s only like 15%
||Unbreakable heart|| is good if you wanna be a little tankier, ||Dashmaster|| is something I’ve never actually used for the battle but I do think it could be a potential sleeper pick simply because it could give you more leeway with accidentally ||dashing|| into his predictive moves
But it’s not really good for anything else in it
Always stuff like ||spell twister|| though
||dont forget about the goat grimmchild||
anything useful in the ||teachers archives|| other than ||dreamer/uumuu||
no
There’s a ||journal entry||
wtf how did I miss this before. Good job!! 
||are you on p5ab already?||
||I thought you were like on p2ab||
I had already beaten it on my switch but I wanted to redo them all on steam. I switched to steam so I could have the ||toggleable bindings|| mod
beaten ||p2ab or p5ab?||
Up to ||P4AB||
I’ve never gotten past ||Collector|| on ||P5AB||
But now that I have a mod I can just practice him until I can do him every time
oh yea thats so cooked
how do people even do that
with enough practice it gets much better
My research has told me ||great slash the first jar, then use intuition to kill everything else||
intuition ;-;
nuhuh
Some runs use ||cyclones|| but I’ve watched hitless runs only use ||great slash and occasional dash slashes||
I think it just depends on the person
||I used a lot of cyclone in my hitless run. If you aren't using cyclone you're just playing worse imo||
||cyclone gives more soul which is simply better. Great slash is just easier to use||
you did ||r5ab??||
||I didn’t know you’d done R5AB, that’s rly impressive dude||
no. ||I just did radiant collector ab||
oh
I haven't
still pretty insane
I did finally find a ||P5AB|| run that wasn’t made by a super insane speedrunner/hitless player to study, which is great
Strategies feel a lot more attainable
||imo a radiant clear is much better than a p5ab clear. Someone that beats p5ab isn't close to perfect and likely doesn't have very good strats for most bosses||
||To be fair to them they did only take one hit on Markoth and Pure Vessel, no hit Abs Rad, but like 4-5 hits on Zote||
||so if you are looking to copy strats, I recommend watching radiant ab clears. Either of individual bosses or of the whole pantheon. It doesn't really matter||
||Zote is my main worry because it doesn’t feel like there’s much strategy to him besides just feeling the fight out, which sucks because he can kill you so fast and he’s right at the end||
||zote is definitely tricky. Key is to know when to use your ddark, and how to get rid of the summons as quickly as possible. The rest is mostly practice and intuition.
If you need advice for him feel free to ask||
How do u deal with ||hopping Zotelings|| if you can’t kill them right away and he spawns like 3 of em
That’s usually where my hits come from
||if you do it right, you should always be able to remove all summons immediately. Wait until they are fully spawned, then shriek. If you don't have the soul when he starts the attack, hit him while he is spitting. (It's very important you don't shriek too early or they won't die. You'll learn the timing. There's no rng involved so if you do it right, you'll always get it).
If for some reason you still end up in a scenario where a hopper survives, I recommend trying to get rid of it as quickly as possible. You can use spells for that but you need to watch out for gpz. Or you hit twice with your nail. As you can see there's not a super great strat in this case. Focus more on not letting it happen. The more you practice and get better at the game, the easier it will get for you to deal with scenarios like these automatically||
I’ve probably been playing too passively with them
Thanks for the advice, I’ll practice that more next time I have an hour to dedicate to him
gl!
any tips for beating ||hornet|| in ||kingdoms edge||
||Hit the spiky things so that they don't accumulate and become too many on the screen.||
||Also try to pogo her||
|| beat the spike ball things away when you can, practice avoiding the trajectory of each of the spikes while being aware of her moves (by avoiding the spikes i mean minimal adjustments so you can focus on hornet as well), utilize shade cloak||
Could anybody help me find ||fog canyon's charm notch?||
Help with ||radiant marmu|| pls
.
mkay
||sbody|| could also be useful since standing in the corner is a pretty decent strat
yea using that
just gotta get lucky with the spawns
just beat her nice
nicee
Guys i have a question
||Where does cloth go after i find her for the first time (i dont want traitor lord to kill her)||
||it's near the connection to crossroads||
||you can find her again in deepnest, then in ancient basin. If you don't want her to get killed, make sure not to save her in basin before encountering traitor lord||
||that means don't kill all the enemies around where cloth hides or she will jump out and be saved||
||I js found her in queen's garden but i didnt ever see her in deepnest am i fucked||
yes
God damn it
I assume you did help her in ||ancient basin?||
||yeah but I didn't even know she was there tbh, i was just going for the money||
||yeah then she will die||
Damn it
||she is much happier with this outcome anyway, if that makes you feel any better||
||Oh well, i was going for the godhome flower ending so i guess atleast she'll be happy||
||what does the gpdhome flower ending have to do with it?||
||I need to kill traitor lord for it||
||that's true. You need to kill him for every ending except the normal one||
||Does something happen if I overcharmed?||
Any tips for ||the mantis lords || When ||two of them are fighting me||
Js keep moving ig
||just keep moving and stay focused||
Heal when they are doing their throwing thingy I guess and when it closes in ||dash|| away or pogo other than that keep moving
You take extra damage
||try and jump over the spinny things when they both throw them.you will be able to tell if its going to be high or low based off of where they are on the wall. try to use vengeful spirit, especially if you have shaman stone. when they dash together in opposite directions, jump over and attack. when they go in the same direction, jump over and attack (again). that pretty much it, have fun!!||
Guys how do i do ||shade skip without mantis claw||
in ||Crossroads||?
To ||city||
i think you need ||claw||
#speedrunning would probably be a better place to ask
Aw :(
|| guys im in my first playthrought how can i get true ending without dying or becoming a vessel||
what
whatever ending u get will always have the same cutscene
and you dont die in that ending
Bruh
im pretty sure ||hornet|| becomes the ||vessel|| in ||sealed siblings||
||i did pop yet i didn't get the seal of binding||
in ||dream no more|| also known as the ||true ending|| the knight either dies or returns to the ||void|| according to the wiki
what is everything that i have to obtain in ||the hive||
||hiveblood charm||
||2 grubs and a mask shard|| as well
i think thats it
I forgot abt em lol
do i gotta beat the boss fori t
Yep, he's ez tho
runback is horrid tho
Place a ||dream gate|| first
no, she || is sealed with him || kinda locking the car keys in the car.
Just got my ||wings.|| What's my progression in %? Just eyeballing it is fine
not how it works bro , you can either just wait untill you get the ability to see your % or just math it manually yourself
I don't get what you mean, i already have it. But idk how far in the game I am cus this is my first play through
10% || im kidding||
wade gets it
theres still alot to do depending on the ending u want.
% is kinda irrelevant to a point on where you are in the game , if you can actually see the % then you already beat the final boss (ish)
How can I see my % without finishing the game??
theres multiple || endings||
|| which dreamer is eaisest to kill ?||
well, try ||finishing the game||
|| they dont fight back lmao||
you can check if there is a mod for it , or just calculate it
"Game percentage" refers to how much of EVERYTHING in the game you've done, not how close you are to any ending, which is why your wording is a bit confusing
stop lurking
Me?
oh fr? ||can I play through them all in one save?||
understandable, Have a good day.
Yes, but be sure not to lock yourself out of any
yep be extra careful for that one.
my bad, i didn't know ||about the multiple endings||
How am I supposed to know though
Just do the easiest first and then you're safe
Aight then
||Just kill the dreamers and then the final boss and that's it||
can you ||resomon the Grim Group thing after banishing them?||
I dont think so
Im keeping the truope so i get the child :D
The child sucks though
i like the child :(
But ||nkg is fun||
i wanted the ||indestructible strength charm :<||
Should've gotten that before ||banishing||
any tips for fighting this || dreamer ?||
cant u get || unbreakable strength || before || banishing grim troupe||
W New Year’s Eve
patience
Be patient, stick to the walls
i didn't know thats what happed when you ||banish them||
In this New Year’s Eve I beat ||path of pain ||
chonk
And got nothing but journal entry for beating ||PoP||
sed
Lore
A boatload of lore
bore
how the hell do i beat ts gng
And 2 sec cutsence
Did you try our advice yet?
Exactly
any tips for the ||flower quest|| and ||how to get the rest of the 12% for the full 112%||
get helped
Exactly
It’s ez
ts aint || dreamer||
Dont be unhelpful
For the ||delivery,|| clear every enemy on the path first (DON'T BENCH) and then run through it again. Most enemies won't respawn
And || dreamgate || at start
just run and hit it when you can untill it dies lol
when i hit it i bounce
start from || traitors child and go back to grey mourner || and head back the same way || without all the annoying enemies|| (||DO NOT BENCH IN FOR THE ENTIRE PROCESS||)
yea just get as many hits as you can and then something will happen and you can damage it then , like ||false knight ||situation
You don't need to get hits for it to become vulnerable
Just wait
didnt know that , well then just run
do you know if the ||green flying guys in Gardens respond||
use || nail arts if u have any ||
they hurt.
they ruin the run
||Mossflies?|| Yes, they respawn when you leave the room
what part.
If you're talking about ||the flying mantis traitors||, then no
no i think their chill with me
You may be getting these enemies mixed around
||The Mantis|| throw the projectile
r u talking about the extra foot long flies that fly in a very horizontal direction.
im talking about the ones on the ||bottom path to get to the room for the flower quest||
the curler ones
What's their moveset
Yeah that's ||Mantis||
nah im confused.
I think?
send pic
What is a "curler"
the green fluff balls
i run into them
To each their own
Look where you're going
Be careful
You might wanna try exploring more before doing that quest
It's not the easiest on your first playthrough
js k i l l em
i have like everything done besides ||godhome||
Wow okay that's pretty good
what || nail do u have||
Well, keep trying, you'll get it
||the best one||
ive been at it for like an hour so far today 😢
Most important rule of gaming and best tactic for everything:
Take breaks.
yah i know but i could also pull a souls game and not stop trying till i get it
Lol
im so happy you got that reference
btw ||after you give the flower to the one guy do you haft to come back to the Grey Mouner for the mask shard?||
Yes
guys || i just broke one of the dreamers so if i go to the egg now what will happen ?||
You'll see the landscape has changed
But the door isn't open yet
ok thanks!
i alr saw when i got || monarch wings||
Ah
Get the other ||dreamers|| go go go
which onedo i go for ?
Whichever you want
1 has a boss guarding him, 1 doesn't
and 3rd ?
They don't fight themselves
||the enemies will be harder to fight at crossroads like more health or more aggressive||
i alr saw that when i got, || monarch wings||
ah ok
how can i defeat the || watchers knight ?||
the first one i can kill him easliy
bu the 4 others nah
i killed one through the chandelier
||you have the better dive sorry cant rember name||
but just ues that for the eye frames when they ||jump on you or doge||
i got it
||Guys, I just beat NKG in pantheon 5...||
2 bosses left
Nvm, i died at ||pure vessel||
where r
u going
||u forgot to break it from the other side||

||Fog Canyon: What is the spell/charm that protects me? From which area do I get it? And where do I get the map?||
You won’t be getting a map for there for a long time
And wdym by that first question
do yall know how to delete the data
Like all of your data in the game?
I’m dead
ye
You’re on pc?
ye
someone told me about that i didn't understand him so i'm asking
Idk what exactly you’re talking about sry
I’m not that sure
Don’t mind me, I’ll keep messing around.
happy new year guys?
am i the only one who finds ||pv|| to be harder than ||abs rad||
im struggling so much with ||pv|| but consistent with ||abs rad||
i might just have a skill issue
I think that’s the opposite of an skill issue
But yeah I think you are the only one haha
Best charm combo? i mostly use nail
Do ||q slash, mop, and catcher||
And if you need ||compass replace catcher with compass and steady body||
i think ||pv|| is just more rng based idk
cuz if u get a bad attack combination with ||abs rad|| the solution is usually just ||ddark||
Nah ||pv is very predictable imo and I really hate those orange balls from absrad||
same
the only time they arent annoying is in the platform part
most of the time they spawn close to the ground in phase 1 and 2
so you cant even ||dash|| under them
Theyre alot easier on grounded
Do a little hop away from them to bait them up, then you can just go underneath
I got to ||phase 3 soul master|| how many ||phases|| are there?
theres 2 phases
what, I finshed 2 phases and they aren't even dead yet
wait wdym
they rested 2 times
It needs fast reaction time
bro the stagger is not a stage complete, you'll know
||steady body quicknail spell twister shape of unn ig||
Stagger is a stun
stagger is more of a break midfight, it counts number of hits, not the damage

bruv, who is stagger, are y'all talking about ms. silksong
it depends
what u said
thats not a phase
its a stagger
how many there are depends
oh
youll know once you enter phase 2
what
rate the charms (I need geo)
there was no spoiler that was a gif homeboy
and it wont even embed
cant have crap in hollow knight discord

The bot doesnt know its not a spoiler 
im the goat ik
it tells me it is and deleted the msg
||Stagger is the rest bosses do after certain amount of hits it stuns them giving u chance to heal to hit more||
ty
So you have to spoiler them
1984
wait so how many ||staggers|| until ||phase 2 in soul master||?
pretty sure it depends
depends on dps, just play the boss until you get to the phase 2, you'll know when u reach it
depends on your damage, again it counts the number of hits and not the damage itself. but most bosses only have 2-3 staggers per phase unless severely under or overpowered
damn, I'm greedy, so basically my soul was in the boss arena and I wanted more geo so I went to fight 2 ||soul twisters|| then I died and lost all my geo
by ||soul|| you mean ||shade||?
yeah
||Is there any way to deposit your geo after beating up the scammer||?
idk bru
||beating up is the scammer is how you deposit the geo||
nope
If you need a lot of Geo, the artifacts help a lot
||by beating up the scammer you get your money back||
Its a one time investment 
Guys any tips for ||p5||
yes
do ||hog asc||
if u want to do it easily
xbox better
or
Practise, especially 
do every boss
||Yeah I know, but I'm just wondering if I can deposit my money somewhere so I don't have to walk around with a ton of it and accidentally die twice somehow and lose it all||
Embed fail
Nah 
Sorry man
I’m a loser 
get full gear, get a good build, get || lifeblood from bindings || if you need. But just practise in || hog ||
Marko my 
Tell us how 
Use ||Confessor Jiji to get your Shade|| back in risky situations
||should I buy a mask shard or a vessel fragment?||
Which ever is closer to completion ig
im just too pro
Which one is closer to being full?
Neither I say save up for ||lantern|| unless u already have it then buy ||mask shard||
both are one piece away from being full, btw this is my first of both of them
what does || lantern|| even do?
Get the ||Lantern|| first for sure
Light up dark areas
||Geo|| will start to come in droves soon
I have perfectly good eyes
Some later game areas lack light
Even on max brighness you can see much
You won't be able to access specific areas without it. It's a game check i think
||pure memory deepnest
||
Like not even just ||Crystal Peak, I wouldn’t want to go into Deepnest without the Lumafly Lantern||
Hollow knight no geo% go brr
do I need it at ||crystal peak||?
Yeah
There are 2 ways to access ||crystal peak||
One including ||lantern||
And a secret nice ability upgrade
its useful though in there other than for access
theres a few dark areas
||up dash?||
Me when i ground stomp
Thats unfortunately not a thing unless you count || double jump/ monarch wings ||
you get it ||after beating soul master|| though
wrong
Nope
U get an ability that || soul master|| uses to attack
Ground
There is a mod that adds ascending soar or smt 
oh, I thought you get the ||up dash|| when you beat them, how is ||ground pound|| even helpful
Some secret areas, and also in combat
it lets you break certain things
Unlocks new areas and it's really op. Do not underestimate it
If only you knew…
It gives to immunity for a second as well, and it also has like an aoe shockwave
||DDark|| saves lives man
That it does
beat || soul master || ?
If so nice! Gl with the rest of your run ^^
I love this ability
Bro went from this is useless to I love it in like a minute
hi I'm playing through hk for the first time and am stuck on ||soul master.|| any tips would be much appreciated I suck at this game so bad 😭
when the ||fireballs|| come at you stand by the edge of the arena and jump straight over them
or walk slightly forward
and when the ||fireballs|| are surrounding him then go back to the other side you can heal
for phase 2 do this strat but stay near the boss
|| any tips on mantis lords||
Most bosses in hk just require you to learn the rhythm
my main problem is actually getting to hit him at all ||cos he keeps teleporting.||
you have to play pretty defensive
||Oblobbles my favorite rhythm
||
only when he comes to you should you hit him
More of a patience fight
unless youre really confident
he'll run towards u
which is a good chance to get 2 hits
I said most.
I will DESTROY ||OBLOBBES RAHHH||
other than that you dont wanna go towards him
unless hes pretty close
Tbh watching a hitless run helped me
heal between phase 1 and phase 2 as well
when he starts teleporting everywhere
Adding onto this ^
After phase 1 when he breaks the floor, if you stay close to the left wall you can sit up there for a sec to recover before phase 2
I have 670 geo, what should I do with it (I'm going to ||crystal peak||)
depends on what u have
send a pic of ur inv and charms
Do u have ||lantern||
ok ok ty. before now i was trying to just go to other areas for better stuff to help because that worked with ||soul warrior|| (only beat him after getting ||shaman stone|| and the ||lifeblood charm|| lol) but ill p try a few more times now
||spells|| are actually really useful for this fight so ||shaman|| wouldnt be a bad idea
just save your geo for now
I can't do that, I'm bad
||My pookie Sly||, ||Iselda||, and that snail
buy whatever is in ||slys shop|| other than ||rancid eggs||
his shop is peak
||mask shard or vessel?|| hmmm
speaking of || lantern || , is it necessary for anywhere else in ||peak || you need it for if you have || dive || ?
||mask shard|| fs
i recommend saving your geo tho
unless u really wanna spend it
its not "necessary" since it just provides light
but there are some dark places
where it will be useful
Oh rightttt. Isnt it necessary for ||DDark || ? Unless you do dark rooms like a speedrunner
yeah one of the rooms to get to there is dark
past the ||bench|| which is also in a dark room
||LANTERN|| IS NEEDED!?
no
however its useful for something later
not what you need to go to ||crystal peak|| for though
The beginning for the toll iirc
There's two entrances to it and one requires it
he has ||desolate dive|| tho
so hes good
6 MASKS LET'S GO
gn

gn!
chat i just got past ||pv|| in ||p5||
wish me luck
im starting ||abs rad|| on 5 masks 🥀
Good luck
||GRUB FATHER GAVE ME A FRAGMENT||
you got this gl
U can do this
I forgot where ||myla|| is
gg
huh
Friend
damn i guess i will fight myself
step a bit closer for a surprise
Def not ||nosk||
I hate not having maps
Mimic 
what do i do here
Right side of the center wall
ok ty
how do i do that?
||dash + monarch wings||
||dash|| and then ||double jump?||
wait which room is that
cuz i think i might know that one
how much time does ||pop|| take?
the first in the 2nd part of ||path of pain||
watching a guide first will reduce the amount of time it takes by a lot so that you understand the rooms
say first timer
depends on platforming experience still
id say 45 mins to 1 hour 15 mins
alr thanks
also charms are a huge factor
does ||cyclone slash|| have any good usages
alr one sec
||just hiveblood and grubsong and deepfocus?||
focus charms arent needed
theres infinite soul totems everywhere
|||hiveblood, longnail/mark of pride (better but easier to hit your head)||
you can add more but thats pretty much it
this?
||When do I fight Radiance bruh I completed all 40 charms||
aight, thanks 
how much hits with || the coiled nail and unbreakable strength does sentinel hornet take to kill ||
@warm wyvern
i will get the calculator
||shaw 2 is 720 health right?||
700
27
27 times
man i was so close
what do i do after that
ok
Can someone help me? I was exploring the Land of Rest, but the map npc wasn't there because I had already explored other areas, but the map wasn't available in Dirthmouth.
interact with the note left by ||cornifer|| in the ||resting grounds|| and then try
also you need to spoiler mark ||dirtmouth||
ok ,thks
This isn't working, could my game be bugged?
Is the map still not available in ||dirtmounth||?
yeah
Strange
Idk what could help, maybe explore the area and interact with the dialogue you can find
Alright, I'll try that.
restart your game maybe
if it is bugged its not a big deal
||Yo how Do I dodge Grimm's atk when hes doin the ball thing||
since ||resting grounds|| is only useful for like 2 things
which are both like 30 seconds away from eachother
The maps are needed for 112 right?
no
Alr
Ok, I'll just restart the game and see if it works
if it doesnt you dont need to worry
its a very small place with few important items
alright.
||What build should I use for Nightmare King Grimm ?||
send a pic of ur charms
I have all of them
do u have all ||notches||
yes
||strength, quickslash, shaman, grubsong, sbody/longnail||
when he does the flame pillars use ||abyss shriek||
thats 120 free damage
normally youd only land 2 hits there
which totals to barely over half of an ||abyss shriek||
also if you mess up an attack with nail u can still get damage with ||spells||
gl
thanks
|| what can i do with rancid egg ?||
U can give them to ||confessor jiji|| who you need a ||simple key|| to acess
theres an npc in ||dirtmouth|| you can give them to
how does he look like
far right side of ||dirtmouth||
what does he give back ?
it summons ur ||shade||
|| past shade ?||
pretty sure it has to currently be on the map
ima try rn
YES I DID THE ||FLOWER QUEST||
tbh it was harder than ||colosseum 2||
ty i dont remember wh oti was
who gave me the ||dream gate|| tip and like killing everything in the route
@elfin ferry
lucky
i need 20 more
which achievement?
gl
you’re welcome :)
how do i unlock the room u can do ||white defender|| in btw
break a breakable floor
nice
what ||charms ||for ||white defender||?
||mop, longnail, shaman, spell twister||
any tips for him?
me and my friend have hollow knight mobile version but we have a weird bug when he gave me his save file to beat a boss for him both his previous and current save file stopped saving literally do y'all have any solution for this?
can someone help me how to defeat || Mantis Lords|| been stuck on them for over 1h now
1h? not that long lmao read and react to their attacks.
well stay in the middle during the 2nd phase heal during the ||double ring attack|| and uhh during the ||double dash attack|| the you ||pogo||
i mosty get hit when they both jump on me
||dashing can help you get out of that uhh I guess you can get on a wall if you run out of space||
What charms should I use for ||hornet sentinel||
what do you have
How's your playstyle?
Idk
i will try thanks
I don't remember all
can you send a screenshot?
I can't. I'm not playing right now
Try to use DPS increase charms that feel comfortable, ||quick slash|| is nearby so you can grab it
I have ||7 notches||
Can you take screenshot from map and mark the area
||Shaman Stone, quick slash, steady body, fragile strength are rlly good charms u can grab||
Lemme try
I dislike ||fragile charms||
Yh understandable, I never used them till upgrade
Is there difficult parkour
No, its rlly simple, its hidden behind like a breakable wall next to an anvil
It's hard to explain, u can check the wiki ||https://hollowknight.wiki/w/Quick_Slash
||
Or u can look for a vid
||Shaman Stone is also rlly helpful, its in forgotten crossroad for rlly cheap||
I like ||quick focus|| and it takes ||3 notches|| so I don't really have space for it
Yh its a nice charm, personally I never used it much but I heard its great
its good but there are better charms for ||hornet sentinel||
I also like saving ||soul|| for ||focusing||
||Hornet already gives giant healing windows so quick focus is pretty redundant||
what do the other ||dreamfights ||give? after u do the first one and get ||essence||(||white defender||)
I think ||Quick Focus|| gives you better chances at lower skill.
||U can just heal between staggers or when she does the tentaccle attack||
same thing ||white defender|| gave
still not very useful for ||hornet sentinel||
All just give ||essence||
since theres good chances to heal
no like.the next ||dreamfights ||of ||white defender|| like the 2dn 3rd idk how many there are
they also give ||essence||
Yh you can pretty much rush her and heal between staggers/tentacle attack
I do have lower skill.
Use ||dream nail|| to refill soul when needed in staggers too
You can literally say that for everything. It's the matter of getting heals off easier.
U already have enough time to heal 2 masks every stagger and 1 mask in tentacle attack generously even if ur a bit slow
Having higher dps lets u get the fight over quicker and essentialy prevents u getting hit
Tentacle? It's ||Hornet 2||
How to deal with the ||spiky balls||
||Idk the name of the attack, her shaw attack where she attacks in a circle||
But you can deal more damage if you can live longer.
Hit them as soon as they spawn
Focus on the spikes before pogoing ||Hornet|| to prevent getting hit
How many staggers do I likely get in the fight
Living longer increases chances of making mistakes or getting hit, its better to try to get the fight finished quickly
depends on damage
Depends on dmg
usually 2-7
Trying to dish out damage often lead to situations that demand more skill that first time players do not have.
True, ig run a summoner build trust
||Glowing Womb|| finally useful?
Yh but goofy little guys that explode, its funny, I used it on ||P5 for Abs Rad nail binding||
what ||charms ||for ||white palace||?
||hiveblood, longnail||
everything else doesnt matter too much
if you dont wanna be patient with ||hiveblood|| add soul charms
||quick slash imo is better than longnail||
just both lol
||it helps if you mistime pogos, longnail often causes u to hit ceiling||
for ||wp|| its not that useful but he could use both
yh true
I don't remember wp much, so I may be getting the ceiling spike part confused with ||PoP||
?
||quick focus|| is useless there
||quick focus|| doesn't help and the wp is built without speed bosting charms in mind so ||sprint master|| might make it harder
||The delicate flower wont be destroyed if I take damage within the "dream world" right? Like the bosses you can fight when using the dream nail||
Btw congrats on ||P5||!
ty
Pretty sure it would but I never tested
Why would you do that anyway?
Why would u fight a boss inside of dream when doing it?
I recently finished it myself like a week ago it's a crazy achievement!
Because I thought I was being realistic with my theory
this part of the ||path of pain|| is so annoying bro
you can just lb heart or core for the extra lifes instead
||PoP|| is rlly annoying at the last section cuz of timing, like unless ur used to the timing after like an hour u will mess up
Wp? It's better to have ||hive|| so u have inf hp basically
i meant instead of qf and sm
just as extras above
