[quaint moth]

[torpid wadi]

perhaps we are at different skill levels

oh man 😭

[quaint moth]

im sure its not that different

[primal zodiac]

did you do ||p5 already||

[torpid wadi]

if youre using ||ssahdow on pv or watcher knights i just feel bad for you||

[torpid wadi]

probably not i suppose, i am pretty bad

[torpid wadi]

no

i havent played in a few months

[primal zodiac]

did you 112%

[torpid wadi]

yes

[quaint moth]

im bad at spotting sarcasm is this sarcasm

[torpid wadi]

nah im pretty shit

[primal zodiac]

i see that yes

[torpid wadi]

if lune was here smh

[quaint moth]

no one who does 112% is shit

[torpid wadi]

||sshadow glazer thinking im shit makes me feel better lowkey||

[golden flower]

thats just relative

[primal zodiac]

||fym shadow glazer 😭||

[quaint moth]

i have ||109% because of fucking zote ruining my pantheons||

[quaint moth]

should've let bro die

[torpid wadi]

||sshadow, shit shadow||

[primal zodiac]

well try ||sharpshadow 🤣 ||

[quaint moth]

ah yes ||zote the optimal sharp shadow boss||

[primal zodiac]

im kidding lol

[quaint moth]

ik

dw

[primal zodiac]

almost ||nkg||

[desert salmon]

What charms against him

[next siren]

||What charm combo should I use for Nailsage Sly||

[primal zodiac]

personally ||mark of pride quickslash nailmasters glory||

[quaint moth]

i used ||grimmchild, mark of pride, quick slash, unbreakable strength|| or smth

[desert salmon]

Wait it’s in ||dream realm|| right?

So ||fragile charms don’t break||

[golden flower]

||it wont break||

[quaint moth]

yup

[primal zodiac]

||dmg tank with carefree melody and quickslash and mark of pride and try to parry||

[desert salmon]

Bettt

[torpid wadi]

just your ||normal p3 charms
shaman, strength, qslash, spell twister||

[quaint moth]

use ||sharp shadow|| /j

[primal zodiac]

real 🔥

[golden flower]

||grimmchild is required to fight nkg, also tanking with melody will absolutely not work from the double damage||

[desert salmon]

Guys

So Thai?

[stone tree]

||compass||

[desert salmon]

*tjis?

*this

[primal zodiac]

its not for ||nkg dumbahh its for sly||

[quaint moth]

||he was talking abt sly||

[golden flower]

i can read

[stone tree]

that could work

[quaint moth]

youre required to use ||grimmchild|| to fight him

you should get ||full notches|| before fighting ||nkg||

[primal zodiac]

||remove quickslash and add somethin like nailmasters glory||

[stone tree]

or, y'know, ||overcharmed risk||

[quaint moth]

oops

[primal zodiac]

lol

[quaint moth]

||overcharmed on nkg|| 😭😭

[primal zodiac]

i mean if you doing him on ||radient then okay but normal ru for real 😭||

[quaint moth]

ill do ||p5 overcharmed|| trust

[primal zodiac]

good luck with that ||werent you stuck on p3 😭||

[coarse nest]

That's the spirit

[stone tree]

being unemployed helps me have these weird strats

[primal zodiac]

i see

[coarse nest]

There's no downside if you're doing ||r5|| technically

[quaint moth]

||ONLY BECAUSE OF GREY FUCKER ZOTE||

[coarse nest]

||overcharming is just free extra slots|| in that case

[primal zodiac]

inside of ||p5|| hes even harder 😭

[stone tree]

cheese it by play a new file and not saving him

[primal zodiac]

good luck with that

[coarse nest]

Make a new save and let ||him die, you won't get him in the pantheons I think||

[frozen vigil]

What's happening behind that door?

[primal zodiac]

your doom

[quaint moth]

||ive watched multiple tutorials on this guy and got help by my friend who has done 112% six times and still only got past zote twice and both times on 1hp||

[stone tree]

[uncut iris]

yeah but there's better ways of doing that

[quaint moth]

Oops

[primal zodiac]

lol

[stone tree]

maybe he thought you needed ||u-charms|| in ||steel soul||

[uncut iris]

would be safer to do that during his ||focus attack||

[quaint moth]

im not doing 112% on ||steel soul|| im only going to 100

[primal zodiac]

good luck with even that

[onyx plume]

idk why ||PV|| is giving me so much trouble ||NKG|| is easier for me than this dude

[karmic storm]

Oh

I just didn't understand the game

[uncut iris]

if you've played metroidvanias before you just gotta explore the place

if you're lost, buy a map

it'll help

signs, cracked walls

[karmic storm]

I did bought a map but idk i csnt find anything more than this

There's a dude hiding his face whenever I come closer to him

Idk how to hit him

[uncut iris]

[primal harbor]

Okay, so what you're gonna want to do is, ||go past the boss area to the left and go up, there you will find a purple area. Go in there, and you'll get your first spell||.

[stuck pulsar]

I need help with ||Pantheon 4||

[twin cypress]

i went there and ive done a quest

[primal harbor]

Did you get ||Vengeful Spirit||?

[twin cypress]

yes

[primal harbor]

Okay, then ||go to the left, that big platform area where you meet the map guy (his name is Cornifer). Go up, and you'll see a green door on the left. Go in there, fight the Baldur at the gate, and you'll unlock the new area||.

[stone tree]

[twin cypress]

[stuck pulsar]

Mostly the least 2 bosses

[torpid wadi]

||spells|| are op

[stuck pulsar]

But which one do I remove

[torpid wadi]

||MoP||

[frozen vigil]

Which should I get? (2.8k ||Geo||)

[hidden nova]

why did they added sans to holllow knight 😭

[stuck pulsar]

Idk ||mop|| is really useful

[torpid wadi]

||shaman stone is the best by far
longnail is alright, steady hody and qfocus are alright
always get notches if possible||

[frozen vigil]

Okay

[torpid wadi]

||shaman stone is considerably better||

[stuck pulsar]

I have every ||notch||

[primal harbor]

@twin cypress you there?

[twin cypress]

here

[twin cypress]

wait its sending my wifi is not existing

[frozen vigil]

Should I replace ||Shaman stone|| with ||Spell twister or Soul catcher||?

[torpid wadi]

wdym? put it in or take it out?

[primal harbor]

Yeah, that's the ||Ancestral Mound||. I believe you've completed that, right?

[torpid wadi]

its better than both of though yeah

[twin cypress]

yes

[frozen vigil]

I have to replace one because not enouch ||notches||

[zenith bison]

no ||shaman stone|| is goated

[stone tree]

why choose when you can be ||overcharmed||

[frozen vigil]

I know

[frozen vigil]

That's ass

[snow hearth]

how do i tell if im almost done with ||the mantis lords phase 2||?

[torpid wadi]

because ||being overcharmed is bad lmao||

[stuck pulsar]

So use ||spells|| while fighting

[primal zodiac]

||sharp shadow best charm in tha game ||

[torpid wadi]

unless you are doing a hitless challenge

[primal harbor]

Okay, ||you're gonna wanna go up like this to the big platforming area until you see a green pathway to the left||

[coarse nest]

Idt there's any indication for that, they just give up at one point

[torpid wadi]

you dont

[twin cypress]

okaay

[primal harbor]

did you find it?

?tag spoilers

[languid radish]

🔹 Ensure Discord’s spoiler tagging is used around spoilers (please see the pins for what is allowed, this changes between both games).
We do this to be considerate of multiple conversations taking place. Two vertical bars on each side of text will tag it as a spoiler - ||This is a spoiler.|| > ||This is a spoiler.|| Alternatively, adding /spoiler at the start of a message will tag it.

🔹 If you have sent an untagged message, you must either edit it to include spoiler tags or delete it.

[mortal ivy]

||guys should i grind trial of the warrior for charm notch or get nail upgrade, prepping for broken vessel (first playthrough)... if nail upgrade where do i get pale ore||

[coarse nest]

Show charms and inventory

[mortal ivy]

ok i understand spoiler tags

[torpid wadi]

||colo 1 is harder than bv im pretty sure||

[coarse nest]

Early to mid game it's almost never worth grinding

?tag uncspoilers

🔹 An unnecessary spoiler is a spoiler (even a tagged one!) that was not directly requested by the user being helped, such as help referencing in-game content that the player has not necessarily reached - Charms build containing Charms they haven’t found, for example. These spoilers, though generally good-intentioned, can harm a player’s experience as any other spoiler would. Remember the game is non-linear; Always make sure to know what a player has and where they’ve reached. A simple screenshot of their map and inventory would tell you all you need to know.

[mortal ivy]

||i dont know where to get pale ores from. My friend advised me not to do nosk, and i dont wanna cheese him because thats just boring||

[coarse nest]

Pls delete this

[stone tree]

alr, my bad, sorry

[coarse nest]

Keep exploring, you'll find it when you need it

For now you should explore more if you're stuck on bosses as there are other upgrades you can get which make fights easier

[mortal ivy]

|| also, my charms are quick slash, soul catcher, shaman stone, dreamshield, defenders crest, fury of the fallen, spell twister, wayward compass, gathering swarm, and i think thats it||

[coarse nest]

How many ||notches||

[primal harbor]

@twin cypress you there?

[mortal ivy]

Yeah good advice but i have all ||base spells and one upgrade descending dark. Also i have 4 notches||

[coarse nest]

You should go to ||salubra and buy a few more notches if you can||

Explore some older areas like ||fog canyon, fungal wastes||

[mortal ivy]

||yeah but im hoarding geo to save for stuff like stags...||

[twilit veldt]

||do nail first then notch will be easier||

[coarse nest]

uhhh those shouldn't be that expensive

And you get money for doing|| colo||

So you can earn money later

[mortal ivy]

what should i be doing for ||pale ore||

[coarse nest]

Don't hoard

[coarse nest]

Explore

You'll find some soon
First I'd say get more ||notches||

[primal harbor]

Chat, I just made it to ||Soul Sanctum||. Any tips on how to fight the ||teleporting magic dudes||?

[coarse nest]

Then you can use ||shaman+quick slash on bv||

Explore around that area and you'll find something useful :)

[mortal ivy]

Aight, good advice to explore! i think im an idiot for this, but i kinda wanna ||run true ending on my first run||

[hidden nova]

should i do something?

[coarse nest]

It's just lore

[mortal ivy]

Yeah, i run them into a corner and jump over their ||fireballs|| and ||vengeful spirit|| them midair

thanks for everybody's help, im not used to such non-linear video games...

[hidden nova]

someone got any tips for ||radiance?||

[mortal ivy]

and also, ||when should i keep playing silksong? i just beat bell beast|| i dint know if im good enough

[coarse nest]

How comfortable are you with ||spells||

[torpid wadi]

no silksong spoiler please

you play whenever you want to play

[hidden nova]

i just use them a lot i was on 2'rd stage u use a lot ⬆️ +🅰️

[native tinsel]

||Spells are the key. Safety first so always first dodge and when it’s save to attack spam spells and nail. S cloak to remove spikes on the ground. Don’t jump or dash when you don’t have to||

[primal harbor]

oh okay, thanks
so i'm guessing you ||pogo and down slash from above to get soul?||

[mortal ivy]

sorry man... i thought if people were talking abt hard bosses theyd at least played silksong. my bad

[torpid wadi]

||shade cloak works too? i thought it was only ddark||

[torpid wadi]

maybe they have, maybe they havent, its impossible to tell which is why there are no spoilers here

[primal harbor]

there's another channel for silksong 😭

[native tinsel]

||nonsenf told me and it worked||

[torpid wadi]

huh

what about for ||absrad||

[native tinsel]

Idk anymore, it probably also works

[hidden nova]

is this build good for the ||radiance||?

[mortal ivy]

i run past them in the big halls, but in close quarters i just reg pogo them, preferably ||nail arts|| if they arent charging attack

[torpid wadi]

use ||shaman stone over sprint and dashmaster||

[native tinsel]

Meh, ||replace sprint master and dash master with shaman||

Lol

[torpid wadi]

:snail-peek:

hmm wrong server

[primal harbor]

But I don't have the ||nail arts|| yet. Only the upgrade from the ||Nailsmith in City of Tears||.

[primal zodiac]

id recomend ||mark of pride instead of sprintmaster and dashmaster||

[fervent violet]

I have almost completed sk

but I remembered I have 2 things pending in hk

1/2 complete

||last remaining thing is p5ab||

[burnt prism]

I’d trade out ||sprint and dash master for mark of pride.||

[burnt prism]

Wait a minute.. that person looks.. familiar

[final thicket]

hmm

[fervent violet]

[hoary summit]

Best nail set for ||p3||? Btw tips on ||the guy with scythe that is an dream boss which name idk||

[snow hearth]

which ||charms|| would be helpful for ||dung defender||?

[golden flower]

||galien? free shriek at the start then quick slash, move with him, spam up (at least thats what i do)||

[hoary summit]

Get ||fast nail|| and just the rest whatever u feel good with ngl

[snow hearth]

k

[twilit veldt]

||shaman, mark of pride||

[coarse nest]

||shaman stone, mark of pride||

[coarse nest]

He doesn't have that

[coarse nest]

Don't give spoilers pls

[hoary summit]

Yeah that guy ||should i change +2 masks and speed for mark of pride to make it easier?||

[coarse nest]

Only 6 ||notches||

[hoary summit]

Literally spoiler sign

[vale osprey]

[frozen vigil]

Really?

[hoary summit]

Btw, any1 got an video guide for ||worms|| kinda lazy to get all of them, ||i only got the hidden one on the bee colony||

[frozen vigil]

You mean ||grubs?||

[hoary summit]

Yeah

[vale osprey]

once youve played through once or twice it comes naturally

[hoary summit]

I always forget the name lmao

[frozen vigil]

Link if you need: ||https://www.ign.com/wikis/hollow-knight/All_46_Grub_Locations||

[hoary summit]

Yeah i got ||collectors map||

I mean like video guide, ||since theres some hidden ones on zones i didnt explore||

Man i feel like spamton by ussing these || all the time

[vale osprey]

[hoary summit]

Welp alr

[uncut iris]

okay im struggling with ||p5||

for reference i already have ||the lifeblood unlocked, only 3 seeds though||

[torpid wadi]

is there a specific part?

[uncut iris]

||god tamer||

my current build is ||quickslash, strength, shaman stone, steady body and nailmaster's glory||

last time i got to ||sly|| but his fucked up ||great slash|| hitbox got me

[torpid wadi]

thats a good build
||you should always focus the beast, which im sure you know
ddark + pogoing triviliazes all its attacks and just dash away when the tamer jumps||

theres always ||HoG|| as well

[frozen vigil]

How do I get ||Waterways|| map?

[uncut iris]

yeah i know

[uncut iris]

he is found in the west

[twin cypress]

im back i had a side quest hahaha

[torpid wadi]

keep going to the left

[uncut iris]

he's blocked off initially but you have to do the arena

[uncut iris]

Yeah ok sure thanks

i will keep that in mind

[twin cypress]

||so i got there but i think i need wall jump or smtg||

@primal harbor

[uncut iris]

what

could you screenshot the palce

[twin cypress]

wait pls

[frozen vigil]

WHAT ARENA?

[twin cypress]

here

[uncut iris]

nah it isnt anything too hard

[frozen vigil]

I still can't find it. 😭

[uncut iris]

yeah you can save that for later (recommended)
OR you can perform a trick called pogos

if you down-slash on spikes you will bounce on them

not all spikes can be bounced on though

[frozen vigil]

Where is it??

[uncut iris]

just go left you'll be there eventually

[twin cypress]

so what should i do to progress

[torpid wadi]

what have you done so far

[uncut iris]

go to the long vertical hallway with lots of platforms and enter the place with greenery

that's the next stop

[twin cypress]

which one

[frozen vigil]

Is this too far left?

[uncut iris]

he should be above

go right, up and then left

[twin cypress]

found it

[harsh spoke]

guys, im tryna fight ||lost kin||. should i make a detour to ||dung defender|| to get ||defenders crest||?

||lost kin btw||

[uncut iris]

what other charms you got

[austere temple]

||i like to see some speedruns in hk, and i see that most of them have a same feature, the players opens the menu while falling to do it faster, but i already tried it sometimes and i cant open while falling, how can i do that?||

[desert salmon]

I think there’s one more at ||salubra|| but for now, what should I use

[golden flower]

that got patched, either use qol or downpatch

[harsh spoke]

||fragile strenght and heart, shaman, spell twister, m.o.p those are my most op, i have like 5 notches tho||

[austere temple]

any specific version?

[uncut iris]

have you learned any ||nail arts||

[harsh spoke]

nope

[desert salmon]

Yes 2

||cyclone and dash slash||

[austere temple]

how can i download it from my steam? or how can i know what is the correct version?

[golden rampart]

||is the lantern worth it after beating soulmaster?||

[harsh spoke]

i am in ||steel soul|| bte

[uncut iris]

btw you're forced to use ||grimmchild so you effectively have -2 charm notches||

[harsh spoke]

dont have

wait

[uncut iris]

i insist you find the last 2 ||charm notches|| so you can use that build you have in that screenshot

[harsh spoke]

lemme send a pic

[uncut iris]

||quickslash, mark of pride, strength||

[harsh spoke]

this is my stats

[uncut iris]

in my ||steel soul|| run i had ||quickslash, steady body, shaman stone and twister||
the key charms were mainly ||quickslash and shaman stone||

and i had ||NAIL 1||.

yep, only ||one upgrade on the nail||

[harsh spoke]

so i should make a detour to ||kingdoms edge?||

[uncut iris]

the idea is that you abuse ||shade soul double hits and ddark|| to stunlock the poor guy

[harsh spoke]

so i detour to ||crystal peak??||

[uncut iris]

would recommend so, try to avoid the |||| as much as possible

[harsh spoke]

kk

ty twin

[uncut iris]

yeah stay safe

||kingdom's edge|| is a hostile place so i'd recommend grabbing a good amount of gear beforehand

[harsh spoke]

atp ill detour to ||crystal peaks||

should be easy condidering i have 105 hours on my main save file

[uncut iris]

oh yeah for sure

[plucky tinsel]

How do I beat ||Vengefly king on radiant?|| No, I'm not joking, I've seriously been trying for hours now

[uncut iris]

have you tried using ||descending dark|| when they swoop towards you

[plucky tinsel]

Nah but I will

[uncut iris]

try not to be overly aggressive, they try to keep their distance from you

and focus on one before you kill the other

[plucky tinsel]

It's not working

[fallow trellis]

Be very patient and save up your soul to try and hit both of them

[plucky tinsel]

The screen shake makes it unplayable

I am not even joking I beat ||nightmare king grimm|| in less attempts then this

[dapper bloom]

||in p5 when u beat nkg do you get full hp for the radiance?||

[plucky tinsel]

I DID IT

[opaque rivet]

If I uninstall and reinstall the game, does it delete my save data? (On steam)

[uncut iris]

||there is resting time after grimm, and you fight pure vessel after that||

[uncut iris]

steam has cloud saves so idk prob not

best you keep your saves in a backup first

[opaque rivet]

just saying the game is giving me an empty screen every time I boot up the game

[autumn cargo]

Wdym by "empty screen"?

[opaque rivet]

the mod launchers also gaslight themselves that my hollow knight launcher is not there

[opaque rivet]

an empty black screen with nothing on it, no music, nothing

the cursor does show up tho (the special one)

[autumn cargo]

That's most likely not a good thing

[uncut iris]

have you tried verifying game files

[acoustic sigil]

#sk-help for the person who asked about acts

[gray tulip]

Kk

It's only a sk thing i didn't know

[acoustic sigil]

Well uh hk doesn't open with ACT 1

[opaque rivet]

I am doing it right now, and it's moving around 1% every 3 seconds

[acoustic sigil]

So I feel like it is obvious enough there are no acts in hk

[uncut iris]

that's normal

[gray tulip]

I mean i thought there was some kind of secret implication

Kk then

[opaque rivet]

I really do hope it does not delete my 100 hours ||pantheon 5|| file

why I had to spoiler it? I have no clue

[uncut iris]

backup your files beforehand

[autumn cargo]

Shouldn't

[uncut iris]

just be safe

[gray tulip]

Some times spoilers work weird but it's for the better

[keen moon]

does the ||dream nail|| actually do damadge?

[acoustic sigil]

No

[opaque rivet]

I think I backed them up

[uncut iris]

It only gives soul

[gray tulip]

Like it's my first play though and I don't want to know how the game ||ends|| even though I do 🙁

[acoustic sigil]

You need the userX.dat file

That's all

[gray tulip]

Is there any way I can erase my ||memories|| of the||ending|| ?

[cobalt hull]

unfortunately no

[gray tulip]

🙁

Oof luckily I am far away from it just unlocked||deepnest|| aka hell

Also how to find|| ore|| for better||nail?||

[cobalt hull]

search

youll find it eventually

[gray tulip]

Kk

Solid advice don't mind if i do

I need to find stuff myself

[shut beacon]

@uncut iris got the tear from the spot

[desert salmon]

Can u js tell me what charms i should use rn

[drifting trout]

[acoustic sigil]

Spoiler tags

[shut beacon]

|| ancient basin or right side of city of tears|| now

[cobalt hull]

ignore them and focus on moving through the room

[uncut iris]

You should find the final ||nail art|| first i suggest

If you do you may also get a new charm

I am about to sleep so i cant talk for long sorry

[shut beacon]

how to get the bench on the lower right side of ||city of tears||

[dapper bloom]

||where can i practice absolute radiance in godhome?||

[smoky frigate]

||i use shaman stone and soul catcher||

[viscid perch]

Im assuming you’re in the early game, but that’s a good soul build for the start

[smoky frigate]

||thank you||

[viscid perch]

Yww

Goodluck

[smoky frigate]

good luck

[desert salmon]

Guys

What charms against ||nkg||

[drowsy sleet]

Dude you keep asking this

You’ve gotten a hundred answers already

[golden rampart]

||Should royal water way be my next area?||

[ornate mantle]

quick question- would there be a way to download a full save file wit everything unlocked etc for Hollow Knight
I switched consoles & don't really wanna grind it all out again

[bleak gale]

Yeah probably

[desert salmon]

Oh I didn’t see

My internet is bugging a lot

So I can see anything

*cant

[shut beacon]

lots and i mean lots of progress

how do i upgrade my nail

[viscid perch]

|| bottom left of city of tears there’s a house and inside there’s a blacksmith that upgrades your weapon||

[shut beacon]

i already did it once but i cant do it any more times

and its too weak

[viscid perch]

|| you need pale ore ||

[shut beacon]

how do i achieve this

[viscid perch]

|| via exploring ||

[shut beacon]

ive explored quite a bit lol and dont have any

[tall kraken]

I know where one is

[shut beacon]

i need more than 1??

[viscid perch]

You can find one each in || Forgotten Crossroads, Crystal peak and ancient basin||

Only mentioned the areas you have unlocked

Don’t wanna spoiler too much

[shut beacon]

||well ive went into the ancient basin place and got the dream nail but i just dont know if theres a map for those ||

[viscid perch]

|| there isn’t a map for the pale ore ||

[shut beacon]

||and defeated that red boss that u challenge||

[shut beacon]

i mean for the areas

[viscid perch]

There is

[shut beacon]

must be well hidden

[viscid perch]

Bro wrote all of that just for this to happen

[shut beacon]

currently im at the ||bench /stagstation in the resting grounds ||

ohhhh u have to buy the maps

[viscid perch]

|| Go left till you hear cornifers voice, if you don’t hear him then try going up when you can. If he disappeared then you can buy a map at the store in dirtmouth||

[shut beacon]

same for ||deepnest||

[thorn sparrow]

I’m stuck on that boss you fight after you get ||dream|| ||nail|| do you have any tips or charms I should equip

[shut beacon]

yeah he had a note lying there so i went up and bought the map

[shut beacon]

the red boss u challenge?

[viscid perch]

Means you missed him

[thorn sparrow]

Yes

[shut beacon]

||i did it with the mandatory nail upgrade just||

literally 5 mins ago

||just keep going into that area below and heal there||

[thorn sparrow]

Oh

Ok

[thorn sparrow]

Any spicifec charms I should equip

[outer apex]

hey does anyone have any tips for beating|| hornet's second boss fight?||

[lone bough]

a

[outer apex]

yes ?

[crude cliff]

you dont need to fight it, might be useful to know, still useful to fight it

[shut beacon]

only notable one i was using was ||shaman stone||

even then i didnt use it much

[tall kraken]

Id recommend using ||quick slash|| and maybe ||quick focus|| if you get hit a lot

Btw does saving ||bretta|| do anything

[old apex]

it gives yiu ||mask shard|| so yeah

[fallow tide]

and

||she lives in dirtmouth now||

||unless you beat up her second hero a lot||

[crude cliff]

which I would believe you also cant do if you never save her

[fallow tide]

||yea as in she leaves dirtmouth after u save her||

[shut beacon]

can someone tell my why my ||desolate dive isnt working ||

[crude cliff]

I know but, can you fight ||grey prince zote, if you never safe bretta at all||?

[crude cliff]

wym

[shut beacon]

in ||crystalised mound||

even on kbm it dont work

[crude cliff]

I didnt try it their myself, didnt know about this, but you will soon learn it to make somewhat sense

unless you cant enter it

[shut beacon]

the ground rumbles

unless i need soul for it

[crude cliff]

havent heared about that bug before

[crude cliff]

yes

always

[shut beacon]

oh

[crude cliff]

since its quite an OP combat skill

thats why ||soul sanctum|| gives soo much of it, makes sense in gameplay and gamedesign

[shut beacon]

ive never used it in combat

[crude cliff]

do

it also has another really nice feature

[drowsy sleet]

Coming from the guy who loves the game enough to mod it

Ik im joking too

[shut beacon]

[golden rampart]

|| i defeated dung defender and got isma tear where should i go next||

Press the @ON button while replying to turj it off

[orchid flower]

||You can get one at the top of crystal peak provided you have double jump. There’s one in the ancient basin, the grubfather gives you on after you get enough grubs. The seer also gives you one as an early essence reward. There’s also a boss in Deepnest that guards one||

[royal hull]

||does Kingdom's crown do anything except for the pale ore?||

[golden flower]

[rose plover]

yo i just got hk for the pc(i have it for console) and i wanted to do ||soul master|| before ||mantis lords|| is it a good idea?

[desert salmon]

No

||Mantis lords|| are a fundamental boss that teaches you

[rose plover]

ik

[rose plover]

im not new to the game

[acoustic sigil]

I mean, not really

[rose plover]

i have a 98% save file on console

[desert salmon]

I’m talking abt switching to a new system completely

[desert salmon]

They are a great help

When going new

[rose plover]

if u say so

[desert salmon]

??

[acoustic sigil]

And if you aren't new, there is no reason to feel obligated to do this completely optional bods

[rose plover]

but i think ||ddive|| would help bc of the iframes

[desert salmon]

Yes but it’s the best boss

[desert salmon]

What percent

On new save

[solid cliff]

How would he know
