🔹 An unnecessary spoiler is a spoiler (even a tagged one!) that was not directly requested by the user being helped, such as help referencing in-game content that the player has not necessarily reached - Charms build containing Charms they haven’t found, for example.

[high heron]

okay well i’ll try that then but first i need to find my way out of the ||waterways||

[wheat star]

I've beat ||The Hollow Knight|| and ||Pantheon 1||, I'll be fine

I'm in ||howling cliffs, stagnest exit||, where do I go to ||summon the Grimm Troupe||

[golden flower]

if you got the ||map|| for the area its near ||where cornifer was||

[obsidian coyote]

how to overcome || pantheon ab || nerves

[orchid flower]

Don't think about the fact that you're doing it

[prisma yacht]

Ive just started and I'm lost in ||fungal waste||

[chrome drift]

which ||randomizers you use guys||

[obsidian coyote]

ddam

[golden flower]

granted ive only done up to ||p4 ab but probably the same as regular pantheons, mostly getting super consistent||

[obsidian coyote]

4

[orchid flower]

Each fight is no more difficult than if they were practiced in the ||Hall of Gods||

[chrome drift]

anything else with it?

[obsidian coyote]

no

tahts wrong

[obsidian coyote]

theres other randomizers u can add

but just configure rando 4 settings

[obsidian coyote]

nerves

[orchid flower]

Yea im trying to help you ignore those

The fight is exactly the same

[high heron]

yeah so i can’t find any way to get above the ||nail guy||

[chrome drift]

anyways will rando 4 affect my main save files

[golden flower]

no

[chrome drift]

yay

[obsidian coyote]

no unless u do something

that idk how

[wheat star]

I ||lit a big torch in howling cliffs||, have I just summoned ||the Grimm Troupe||

[golden flower]

[orchid flower]

yes

[obsidian coyote]

yes

[wheat star]

Yayyyy

[high heron]

how do i get the ||key||

i can’t find a way to get above his place

[orchid flower]

its just north, theres not actually a room directly above him

[wheat star]

Have you unlocked ||Sly's shop|| yet?

[orchid flower]

Its above him in the sense that the ||Crossroads|| is above him

[icy blade]

||can your steel soul save be deleted if you die in god home?||

[high heron]

in ||dirtmouth?||

[golden flower]

no

[orchid flower]

Just go to part of the area that's north of his location

[wheat star]

No I think

[icy blade]

Thanks

[wheat star]

Yeah

[high heron]

it’s the top of the area though?? there’s nowhere to go

[orchid flower]

Show me your map

[high heron]

i do but he closed the ||shop|| and won’t sell things

[wheat star]

Oh did you buy everything

[desert salmon]

I JUST LOST 1800 GEO

[orchid flower]

[high heron]

no i still think i had the ||charms||

[desert salmon]

TO ||PRIMAL ASPIDS||

[wheat star]

Dam

[high heron]

it leads to ||fungal|| though??

[wheat star]

Worst enemy in the game

[orchid flower]

Just take a deep breath for a second

I am not telling you to go perfectly above him. I am telling you to go to the part of the area that is located north of him

[high heron]

i’m lowkey confused

[orchid flower]

Including everything around the ||stag||

[high heron]

oh so it’s just near the top of the area?

[solar lily]

Aierobe

[high heron]

like ||city of tears??||

[orchid flower]

Yes

That's what north tends to mean

[high heron]

so the top section?

[orchid flower]

Yes

[high heron]

okay that’s helpful but i guess i don’t know the exact location???

unless it’s right above his place just in the top area

wait no it can’t be

[orchid flower]

Look around for a bit

Youll find it

[orchid flower]

Gave u a hint here

[wheat star]

[orchid flower]

||Carefree Melody. It gives you a percent chance to not take damage when hit that increases with each hit you take||

I would argue it's better

Ayyyyyyyyy` found.

Ayyyyyy

Got ||my first flame|| 🎉

[primal ibex]

nice

[strong anchor]

Anyone got game breaking tips for ||abs rad||?

[delicate falcon]

Are you just trying to clear it for the first time? Anything specific thats hard for you

[solar lily]

I cant beat the aierobe boss

He has so many aierobed

[next sparrow]

can i download item randomizer from lumafly?

[strong anchor]

Yea it’s my first time. The orbs on the second phase are annoying

Other than that,

Im having a hard time on the final phase

[golden flower]

why not

[next sparrow]

i cant find it whats the exact name of the mod?

[golden flower]

randomizer 4

[next sparrow]

thanks

[next sparrow]

top result was bench rando do i need to change something in my settings?

[orchid flower]

||The orbs despawn when they hit the ceiling. If you stay above Abs Rad they’ll practically never hit you||

[orchid flower]

It’s easiest to bait them into platforms from the bottom one

[delicate falcon]

For the ||orbs on plats you should try to get them to hit a platform to explode, one strat is staying on the bottom middle platform and if an orb is about to hit you dash off and double jump in the air back onto the platform so the orb hits the platform. The bottom middle is also nice because some orb spawns will just hit some side platforms, if you’re ever in a bad position you should try to have soul to use the down spell since it makes you invulnerable for a good while. If absrad is close it’s nice to pogo (down slash) on her for a while until most of the orbs spawn and then dive. In the final phase it’s useful to note that the orbs will despawn usually when they fly off the screen, you can bounce off absrad etc. and lead them away like lily said||

[strong anchor]

Ty

[next sparrow]

guys i cant find randomizer 4 on lumafly the top result is always benchrando

help me

[orchid flower]

There’s a modding help chat for that

[acoustic sigil]

Scroll a little bit

[deft spire]

|| how do i open this ?||

[orchid flower]

Get a big one to break it

[sinful thicket]

|| Get a big bee to ramp into it ||

[next sparrow]

omg thanks i found it but why was it not the top result when i typed in the excact name?

[fallow tide]

what ||charms ||for ||thk||?

[orchid flower]

||Quickslash, unbreakable strength, mark of pride|| completely shreds them

[sinful thicket]

|| I used MoP, quickslash || you can use anything else you want that fight is really easy

[orchid flower]

Depending on how much health you have you practically don’t even have to dodge

[fallow tide]

i have 2 left

spots

[sinful thicket]

Idk bring something fun ig you don’t really need more than that

[hollow sluice]

am i cooked? ( i know what the next roomis and how to do it) the thing is i have both ||long nail and mop and no quick slash||

[hollow sluice]

also hi lily

[hollow sluice]

in like 1.5 hours i got here

[orchid flower]

Hi!

[hollow sluice]

am i really cooked or

[orchid flower]

You don’t need ||quickslash||, you’ll be fine

[next sparrow]

|| what do i do here? im trying to get the rando mod to work||

[orchid flower]

There’s a modding chat

[next sparrow]

oh didnt see that

[hollow sluice]

good thing i tought i was so cooked since i have both ||mop and long nail lol||

anyway i think this is the 3rd hardest thing to do (till next checkpoint)

second hardest was the first chechkpoint

[tight schooner]

I need some help with the ||broken vessel|| what I have is ||6 masks || and ||desolate dive|| and ||c dash|| I also have ||sharpened nail|| and ||mantis claw
||and the charms I have equipped are ||fury of the fallen|| || soul collector|| and ||wayward compass|| so can you help me

[golden flower]

it depends on RandomizerCore, which is not installed

[hollow sluice]

and the final hardest is the saw pogo on the last checkpoint

[next sparrow]

is that also on lumafly?

[sinful thicket]

I suggest you find a certain || key to open a certain door in soul sanctum to get a better combat ability than vengeful spirit || for this guy

[orchid flower]

If they wind up, jump over them. If they wind up in the air, hit them as they pass over you. When they jump, wait to see where they’re landing and dodge out of the way if needed. Focus on the summons when they appear. When the bullet hell attack starts, just dodge carefully. It’ll take practice

[hollow sluice]

or just cheese him with ||a ceratin fragile charm + a certain nail upgrade another ceratin fragile charm and mark of pride||

[fallow tide]

ok ||thk ||fight is surprisingly easy

[sinful thicket]

I like spamming || spells for broken vessel ||

[orchid flower]

It’s supposed to be, yeah

[golden flower]

pardon the quality

[sinful thicket]

It’s lore accurate

[hollow sluice]

modding chat sirs

[next sparrow]

but i have randomizer core installed and turned on

[hollow sluice]

sir modding chat if u can please

this is hk help

[fallow tide]

if u have ||stalwart shell|| u can just spam nail and be finished rlly quick

[hollow sluice]

not modding help

[orchid flower]

Yeah dodging is optional

[fallow tide]

ok time for ||colosseum 3|| and then ||voidheart||

[hollow sluice]

also lily what is harder in ur opinion

first question is (out of 2)

||path of pain or p4||

[orchid flower]

||Fourth Pantheon|| is harder

[sinful thicket]

I need to grind || colosseum 3 || but it lwk looks hard..

[scenic egret]

they cannot be compared imo, too different

[hollow sluice]

THAT IS RIGHT

100% AGREE

[next sparrow]

i have all of those on

[orchid flower]

If you just want money the second one gives you more

[hollow sluice]

that's why im stuck on ||111% im doing path of pain and not doing p4||

[sinful thicket]

From how much trouble I have just doing || normal white palace I feel like PoP is gonna kill my sanity more than P4 ||

[hollow sluice]

no

[sinful thicket]

What does the third one give

[desert salmon]

I just completed ||trial of the warrior||

[hollow sluice]

3k geo

[orchid flower]

If you’ve already played platformers the ||path of pain|| isn’t too bad

[orchid flower]

It’s just money

[desert salmon]

I’m going to do ||trial of the conquerer||

[hollow sluice]

(3 sections are pain)

[orchid flower]

But it’s so long that doing the second one over and over ends up giving you more money faster

[sinful thicket]

No first time rewards?

[orchid flower]

No

[sinful thicket]

Wow.

[hollow sluice]

no

just an achivment

[orchid flower]

The “||glory of being a fool||” is the reward

[sinful thicket]

Ok nvm I’m gonna grind 2 then

[next sparrow]

its hard esspecially the last part but its so fun i didnt have problems with raging and ragequitting

[hollow sluice]

lowk ||path of pain IS VERY FUN||

[next sparrow]

thats what i just said

[fallow tide]

any tips for ||colosseum 3||?

[sinful thicket]

|| I was stuck in 1 section of white palace for an hour || it was rage inducing

That place is my first experience with platformer ever and it sucked very badly

[hollow sluice]

this part isnt tho

[scenic egret]

spam your ||nail arts VERY VERY hard||

[hollow sluice]

yo i did it in like 20-30 mins lol

[sinful thicket]

So
How should I practice for || path of pain ||

[hollow sluice]

nothing

[golden flower]

doing it is the practice

[hollow sluice]

go in not ready

[desert salmon]

Any tips to for ||colosseum 2?||

[hollow sluice]

lowk what i suggest

[tight schooner]

Also quick question is there a way to get out of the || ancient basin|| with out || monarch wings||

[sinful thicket]

At this rate I won’t even be able to get past the first section..

[hollow sluice]

is watching a youtube tutorial first

[next sparrow]

i love pogoing so found this fun

[scenic egret]

dont rely on ||pogoing at max range, pogo the saws when youre really low or dash through||

[hollow sluice]

dw its really easy

[desert salmon]

I’m not strong enough for ||colosseum 2|| what should I do?

Like which area do I go to now?

[sinful thicket]

Ofc you’d say that, but I’ve seen what it’s like

[hollow sluice]

sir i have ||long nail + mark of pride||

[hollow sluice]

i started 2 hours ago

[desert salmon]

Don’t use that combo

[hollow sluice]

the ONLY THING i struggled on so far is first section for one hour

[hollow sluice]

too late 💀

[desert salmon]

It’s too much range, so you’ll go into saws

[sinful thicket]

|| Finishing white palace in 30 minutes when it took me 2 hours ||

[hollow sluice]

that's why im cooked

[scenic egret]

those dont do anything besides save you if you pogo 12 years early

[desert salmon]

I’m not a genius and I’m no where near that area but I know that

Can someone help me?

[scenic egret]

they dont actually make you go higher, just fight the urge to pogo at max range

[hollow sluice]

so im able to do it but it will be a lil harder?

[scenic egret]

the channel name:

[fallow tide]

this for ||c3||?

[hollow sluice]

no

[desert salmon]

I’ve said the same thing 3 times:

[fallow tide]

why

[hollow sluice]

||use mark of pride instead of the dung defenders something||

[scenic egret]

its just that you dont have a great visual cue now, but everythings the same mechanically

[sinful thicket]

Hmmm have you been to || the hive ||

[fallow tide]

thats ||nailmasters glory||

[scenic egret]

||remove quick slash and strength for spell based charms like twister and shaman, nmg overrides nail charms||

[hollow sluice]

take out ||long nail put in mark of pride ALSO i would'nt use steady body and would change it for the vines cahrm or grub song for vine charm||

[desert salmon]

Not yet

[hollow sluice]

oh

[sinful thicket]

Explore it then

[scenic egret]

oh yeah also ||longnail also goes out, that also doesnt do anything with nmg||

[hollow sluice]

i didnt use any ||nail arts in there lol idk about u||

[scenic egret]

||nail arts|| are incredibly overpowered, they oneshot all of the main enemies

[hollow sluice]

oh btw if i hit a lever

will it stay after i leave?

[scenic egret]

yeah

[hollow sluice]

PERFECT

[sinful thicket]

Huh wait
|| what is NMG ||

[hollow sluice]

im playing till i hit the lever

then go to sleep

[scenic egret]

||nailmasters glory||

[hollow sluice]

also uhm new years is in 13 mins

[scenic egret]

||nail arts dont work with any nail charms||

[sinful thicket]

Oh

[hollow sluice]

i got no one to celebrate with

so lowk ill just go outisde

[cold rock]

||p4 no eyes is actually ragebait||

[scenic egret]

😁

[cold rock]

||it keeps running away||

[hollow sluice]

oh yeah guys happy new years lowk

[cold rock]

happy new year

[orchid flower]

This is a big ||Great Slash|| fight

Since she’s most likely gonna teleport after one or two hits

Might as well make em big ones

[scenic egret]

||cyclone|| can also work if you get good rng

[hollow bramble]

might as well hit normally then

[deft spire]

|| how can i skip end credits ||

[high heron]

like my ||charms||

[dense torrent]

i dont think you can

dont owrry though since they arent super long ones

like 5 mins long max

[scenic egret]

your inventory is a different tab

[dense torrent]

no

your inventory

[scenic egret]

its in the same menu though

[high heron]

oops right

[dense torrent]

you can get to ||queens garden|| from ||greenpath||

you have the ability thats needed

[high heron]

which is?

[scenic egret]

theres a few other entrances if you want

[dense torrent]

||ismas tear||

[high heron]

ohh

makes sense

where exactly in ||greenpath|| though

[scenic egret]

dont click cinnabox ||isnt that one shade cloak and fog canyon/crossroads is ismas?||

[dense torrent]

wdym?

[scenic egret]

one of the entrances requires ||shade cloak||

[dense torrent]

isnt that to the ||mantis traitor||?

[scenic egret]

no there was a room im 99% sure

ill boot up hk to check

[dense torrent]

||ismas tear|| is typically obtained before ||shade cloak|| anyway

since you need to go ||royal waterways (ismas tear location) > kings station > kingdoms edge|| for ||shade cloak||

[high heron]

i actually got ||shade cloak|| before ||isma’s tear|| but i have both

[scenic egret]

ok that solves everything

[bright hamlet]

there are 2 entrances, ||over gropwn mound one requires shade cloak and the uumuu one requires ismas tear||

[scenic egret]

i wasnt sure if you had it ||because your picture's offcolor and shade cloak's icon is darker than normal cloak||😭

[bright hamlet]

there is also the ||deepnest entrance btw||

[dense torrent]

||deepnest|| is surely way more annoying tho

unless ur conveniently enough on the left side of ||deepnest||

[bright hamlet]

thats why didnt mention it in the first message, and not worth taking anyways ur a lil far from the key areas

also does ||longnail and mop|| outrange ||sly?||

[dense torrent]

prolly not

he has a scuffed hitbox

wait which attack?

[bright hamlet]

idek at this point, cant beat ||sly on attuned after beating like 10 on radiant...||

[dense torrent]

||sly|| is such an annoying boss

the ||dash slash|| has a horrible hitbox

||great slash|| is bad but not as bad

[bright hamlet]

i keep wondering why it hit me i was clearly our out of range 😭

[scenic egret]

its so funny to look at with hitboxes on

its like 2x taller than visuals

[cold rock]

dont try to outrange him, ||punish when you can attack him safely||

[bright hamlet]

yeah the problem is, when to attack him safely 😭

[scenic egret]

after he attacks, you can sneak in 1-2 hits and ||dash away||

[bright hamlet]

and how to dodge ||cyclone slash?||

[dense torrent]

the game should get an update 8 years after release just to fix it

[high heron]

i made it to ||queen’s gardens|| that was easier than i thought

[desert salmon]

Akari good news

I got more ||charm nothxes||

I went from 6 to 8

[high heron]

now i need more ||mask shards|| so i could actually be in good enough condition to fight the ||watcher knights||

also what do ||rancid eggs|| even do

[desert salmon]

@dense torrent

[dense torrent]

you can give them to an npc

[dense torrent]

nicee

[bright hamlet]

||say u die in a bad place with geo, they can help u summon ur soul back to dirtmouth||

[bright hamlet]

those beyblades are pure ptsd

[high heron]

ohh that’s useful actually

[desert salmon]

I also beat ||colosseum 1||

So I got tons of geo

[bright hamlet]

and u die far far away

so use it

[desert salmon]

Where do i go next everyone?

[cold rock]

||ok his main attack is a 1 - 2 - 3, he does a slash forwards, an upwards slash whilst moving towards you, then a spinning slash which goes into the air (he only does the spin attack when you're close enough to him). you can dodge this literally by running or dashing away, and dodging the spin attack is easy. after that you can land 2 - 3 hits on him.

he has another attack where he jumps into the air and does a downslash, which you can dodge by dashing out the way, and a second slash (if you're close to him) which is upwards. you can go in and land a couple hits after his second slash if he actually does it.

for his great slash and dash slash, just double jump, you can tell where he will end up, which will leave you room for a few hits.

for his cyclone slash, he will go up in the air. you can either be really safe and pogo twice on him, then dash away, or you can keep pogoing on him to try and deal more damage.

you can heal 3x whe hes staggered with quick focus||

this applies to the first 2 phases

the last phase he only has one attack

[fallow tide]

any tips for this ||wave in c3||? having problems with it.

[desert salmon]

Anyone?

Pls someone

[scenic egret]

||climb up on a wall, then jump+dash if he gets near you||

[dense torrent]

try to avoid unnecessary spoilers

he might not own it

[scenic egret]

you go where you have not gone before on the map!

[desert salmon]

Are you deadass

[dense torrent]

well thats what u have to do in order to progress

hes kinda right

[bright hamlet]

alr thanks

[desert salmon]

Right but anything I need to do?

Or any important bosses?

[fallow tide]

hlep pleas

[cold rock]

his first phase is ||800hp, so if you have pure nail and strength then you can deal with this in 26 hits, which isn't too bad. his last phase is only 250 hp, meaning you only need to land 8 hits on him with pure nail and strength.

for his last phase, he will jump around off the wall, then come towards you and do a spinning attack in the air, moving slightly towards you, after which he will remain there for a short time. to dodge this, allow him to come close to you before he does his spinning slash. if he jumps from the left wall, dash right and vice versa. you can land 1 - 2 hits each time he does this, but don't go chasing him||

[dense torrent]

i took more damage to ||2 primal aspids|| in ||kingdoms edge|| than i did to ||abs rad|| in ||p5||

[wooden wharf]

[old apex]

[dense torrent]

[old apex]

Fr

Its as if they snipe u or smth

[fallow tide]

[old apex]

Glhf

Use ||nail arts||

[fallow tide]

my biggest weakness is ||nail arts|| while on wall thats a pain i nthe butt

[old apex]

Je use the ||nailmasters glopry||

My spelling is strash

[fallow tide]

still a pain in the butt

[old apex]

Js hold

Ur atti

Attack

[fallow tide]

im playing on controller so its like(xbox) i have to hold x while jumping o nthe wall with a and a is below x so i like have to keep pressing jump with the middle of my thumb and its so hard

[golden flower]

i swapped swing and quick map, imo makes it a lot easier to do stuff like that

[gloomy veldt]

Oop

|| how do i get hornet to show up at the black egg temple? Do i need to do something specific? ||

[cold rock]

||show your charms||

[gloomy veldt]

Is there a specific one i need?

[cold rock]

yes

||tips for pv?||

im stuck in ||p4||

[tight schooner]

I have almost 600 ||geo|| how do I get out of the freaking || ancient basin|| with out || monarch wings|| plz.

[gloomy veldt]

Which one?

Is it the || one that you find in weaver’s den? ||

[cold rock]

||what is the charm that you currently have in the bottom right hand corner of your charms page?||

[cold rock]

no

[gloomy veldt]

none

Oh wrong reply

I don’t have a charm there 🥹

[cold rock]

thats why

[opal forum]

My 2026 goal is to beat ||abs rad on radiant||

[cold rock]

you need that charm, both parts, fully upgraded

[cold rock]

gl

my 2026 goal is ||to beat pv consistently, struggling in HoG atm, then after that p5||

[gloomy veldt]

You can upgrade charms?

[golden flower]

just that one (ig theres the ||fragiles|| but that's not quite the same)

[gloomy veldt]

Oh okay

Where do i find it?

[cold rock]

well not exactly

||the "upgrade" is something which changes the form of the charm and is a condition for the 2 base endings with hornet||

[gloomy veldt]

Okay, but where can i find it?

[cold rock]

one part is in ||queens gardens||

[gloomy veldt]

Ough

[cold rock]

the other part, you need the ||fully awoken dream nail|| to acquire

[gloomy veldt]

I still need to beat || traitor lord ||

[stray plover]

ok I have a more of a file problem but ill copy it here cuz modding chat ded
||ok so I take that my problem is more modding related

so basically theres that gramaphone in Queen's Gardens that I like but I accidentally hit it w my nail....cuz im a f##king dumb#ss
and i then learned its not something that regenerates
so atm I am trying to bring it back by editing my savefile with bloodorca's file editor but idk which of the 5 values for the gramaphone to change

so basically I have 5 gramaphones in this file that I found
2 are a random tram
2 are the RG (probably resting grounds) tram
1 is for the scene "fungus3_50"

my question is
is the fungus3_50 scene the queen's gardens scene?
or is there another spelling or idk
cuz here it says its activated but its...VERY MUCH NOT 😭||

[cold rock]

yeah you gotta do that

[gloomy veldt]

Oh

[cold rock]

||you're quite far off those endings from the looks of it||

[gloomy veldt]

Yes

|| How do i get the fully awoken dream nail? How many upgrades and essence? ||

[broken stirrup]

Anyone know how to deal with ||winged and lanced sentry in the city of tears||

[chrome drift]

where should i head now

[orchid flower]

Why not just try em all?

[cold rock]

||1.8k essence||

[gloomy veldt]

In total?

[cold rock]

yep

[stray plover]

loll
foin ill try it
its 1:44 am i cant deal w this sh anymo 😭

[chrome drift]

||i might be stupid but if its named fungus then its clearly not related to queens garden||

[golden flower]

one thing youll learn from looking at the save schema is that tc cant name anything internally

[stray plover]

||I mean queens gardens is connected tot he fungal wastes....plus there is NO other thing that it could be so whatevs
plus theres no gramaphone that ik of in the fungal wastes...and if there is stfu lemme find it

plus if I break them accidentally I dont wanna lose em so im changing it u-u
doesnt affect my game anyways so no cheating so f this lemme have nice music u-u||

[stray plover]

oh yeah
the naming here is all over the place

[primal ibex]

the entirety of ||wastes, greenpath, fog canyon and qg|| are called ||fungus in the game files|| iirc

[stray plover]

💀💀theres no f##king way

HOW DO 3 GUYS KEEP TRACK OF 4 AREAS THAT ARE ALL CALLED THE SAME-

[stray plover]

anyways
didnt work u-u

NVM I think I edited the wrong file

cuz I entered the game
and left
and theres TWO user1.dat files that got updated at the same time

imma change this one too

....nvm i just realized im an idiot and that I prob drank too much wine

the whole point of being semiPersistent is that they regen when you die or exit/enter the area
or save at a bench
not sure abt the bench tho

I didn't even leave the room

💀

brb

[primal ibex]

how did you get 2

[stray plover]

theres one just plain user1.dat
and thers one user1 and the game version

.dat

[primal ibex]

and how would selecting saves work

oh yeah that happens when you downpatch or use a beta sometimes

[bright hamlet]

btw where is ||bretta|| and how to get both the ||mask piece and vessel frag from her house||

[summer echo]

she's somewhere near the ||mantis tribe||

[bright hamlet]

not inside right? thanks btw

[summer echo]

i'd say a little under it but not outside of ||fungal wastes||

[bright hamlet]

||is it above elder hu?||

||there is a locked room||

[summer echo]

no

[bright hamlet]

aight, ill just explore, thanks again

[primal ibex]

you know the bench just outside ||village||?

[summer echo]

its around on the same level as the ||mantis lords||

[bright hamlet]

yes cause i remember the runback 😭

[bright hamlet]

alr alr

[primal ibex]

ok there then left

[bright hamlet]

!?

[primal ibex]

from the bench, go straight left

[bright hamlet]

mhm

[primal ibex]

[lone bough]

||flick the lever||

[lone bough]

[jade sluice]

[bright hamlet]

you are there earlier than intended

[jade sluice]

and even though u can fight it early its difficult early in the game

just skip it

fight him later

[lone bough]

theres all the bosses LOL

[sly gorge]

Okay well thanks ill just keep going down green way

[heady carbon]

If I'm trying to run hollow Knight on a very weak computer (school Chromebook) what settings should I turn on. It's crashing like when I try to absorb the ||dreamers||

[primal ibex]

whoever is trying to say something spoiler tag your message by doing ||this||

[desert salmon]

Oh, ||shade cloak.||

[lone bough]

nope

[sly gorge]

Oh okay

[desert salmon]

Really…

[lone bough]

||u fight raidance and pure vessel first||

[desert salmon]

WHAT

ARE YOU FR

[lone bough]

no

[desert salmon]

Oh

[primal ibex]

don't troll here

[lone bough]

i was kidding bro

[bright hamlet]

@sly gorge || not [[

[desert salmon]

Ik it was a joke

[bright hamlet]

and yes

[desert salmon]

I’m just being a cornball

[lone bough]

lol

ofc u dont

why would u

[bright hamlet]

it is ||hornet||

[sly gorge]

Is the next boss ||hornet|| I've seen her like 2 or 3 times on ||green path||

[lone bough]

ye

[heady carbon]

I'm trying to run hollow Knight on a very weak computer (school Chromebook) what settings should I turn on. It's crashing like when I try to absorb the ||dreamers||

[sly gorge]

Oh nice

[lone bough]

shes lwk ez

i did her first try

[primal ibex]

i dont think there are any

[sly gorge]

I found this like building or whatever snd its very dark in there what is that?

[golden flower]

dont think any graphics settings would help with that unless its like a vram issue

[bright hamlet]

there are no settings,

[lone bough]

building?

[lone bough]

only like changing keybinds

[sly gorge]

Idk not building but entrance

[primal ibex]

you'll get something that allows you to see in there later

[lone bough]

||in greenpath or...||

[sly gorge]

Yes

[lone bough]

||is it the lantern||

[sly gorge]

Oh okay i just keep trying to do all this rando stuff before im supposed to lol

[lone bough]

||is Pop meant to be hard tho||

[bright hamlet]

||one thing you need to know, hollow knight is a game where some places, you need to come back for, if you think u cant complete an area or a place now, come back later||

[heady carbon]

Are there anyways to like avoid the cutscenes cause that's when it's crashing. I think it's just a visual bug cause after the cutscene I'm still able to interact with the world

[lone bough]

i did it in 13min first try

[lone bough]

thats just

not possible bru

[heady carbon]

Might it be possible to like navigate out of the room so it does like a visual reset

[primal ibex]

after ||absorbing||, are you able to open the pause menu

[heady carbon]

No I can't see anything

[sly gorge]

What i do is probably not the best way but I like to explore an area and its pathways throughly then go to the next area. Instead should I scan over places without trying to get through them completely to prevent me from doing stuff like I have

[lone bough]

eh

depends

u prob wont do the same thing tho

[primal ibex]

i would say explore thoroughly

[bright hamlet]

depends, just play the game, you will learn in a few more hours into ur save

[lone bough]

ye i agree

[sly gorge]

Alr thanks

[lone bough]

||also kill hornet it will help al ot||

[bright hamlet]

no area gets locked, you can always come back later, good luck

[bright hamlet]

she does not die tho

[sly gorge]

I will try to find her

[lone bough]

oh i meant

||defeat her LOL||

oops

[primal ibex]

unless you do some crazy skips, glitches or sequence breaks

[lone bough]

or in kingedge

[bright hamlet]

which i doubt someone on their first playthrough will do but yeah

[lone bough]

ye

[bright hamlet]

oh yeah ||cast off shell||

[lone bough]
