thx
||what charms would you recommend: I mostly go for unbreakable strength and heart,shaman stone ,grab song and spell twister and sometimes for a few bosses (pure vessel so far) ,I swapped spell twister for fury of fallen||
||qs shaman unb str and spell twister||
so "right NOW!!!" or "after ||grimchild 3 and void heart?||"
||i personally switch shaman to mop after grimm bc of sly and then put back shaman after I beat hornet 2||
||wouldnt recommend fury unless you know exactly what youre doing; while heart is nice to have (esp for shell binding) its something that you should probably get used to not having imo to get better||
rn
u dont needa do allat
||what's qs,unb,str||
The spoiler thing is kinda annoying
||quick slash, (unb)reakable (str)ength||
||quick slash = qs and unb str = unbreakable strength||
It's really hard
||I feel like I kinda suck a lot ,so I use it ,even tho I know that I shouldn't be using unbreakable heart||
;-;
here is a noob build
?
||carefree melody bulder shell unb heart shape of unn grub song and quick focus||
is this not 13 ||notches||
its 11 I think
||I completed the ritual||
okay
||What charms are good against Defender?||
Try not to use it, die some/many times and that way get used to it and safe yourself space in your build
||melody (3), bs (2), heart (2), slug (2), grubsong (1), qf (3) == 13||
Mb xD
Im dumb
I should go to sleep
||what would you recommend over unbreakable heart (I also have grub song ,so If you feel like this isn't needed )||
||unb str||
obv
I have that one
For what purpose are we making a build?
||shaman quick slash or mark of pride||
||p5||
||What charms are good against Dung Defender?||
||voidheart and kingsoul||
||I have unbreakable strength and heart,shaman stone ,spell twister ,grub song ,I don't know what I should replace heart with and grub song if recommended||
I use ||shaman, qs, unb str and spell twister for pantheons|| but havent gotten to ||p5||
💔
?tag uncspoilers what is this 😭
🔹 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.
||quick slash?||
Back for the first 2 I still used ||sharpshadow instead of spell twister||
||and remove grub song||
Alright ,thanks I will give it a try
Much appreciated guys
||abs rad is easy||
And I used ||grubsong and steady instead of spell twister for p3||
Mostly for its final boss
that works too
||really?||
What should I use then?
||yes||
as long as you dont sell your soul to the reaper ofc
( i did)
those 2 are endgame charms that have literally nothing to do with that boss
from what i can remember you dont have that many so just pick ones that work nice
The stakes for losing to it alone makes it sound the hardest even if it didnt even attack
||pure vessel?||
Can you tell me some I don't have?
Oh that
i told him ill give him my soul if he'll let me beat ||abs rad|| once
||I do need to practice pure vessel too||
You litelary can't havve both at the same time. 😭
the floor is lava
pro tip
also
||ddark||
ifs ez after practice
I have reached him so I can practice
I almost beat it on || radiant ||
Cool
try to js dodge for a while
instead of trying to get dmg in
and find his week spots
I did 24 ||radiant|| so far
that isnt 100% safe so i wouldnt recommend its use
usually works
w
usually isnt good enough imo
btw what attacks r u struggling w
Is this good'?
This includes hardest of all ||obblobles||
on || pure vessel ||
I honestly dodge ,then I attack on openings,I usually lose to stupid stuff
Lol
||like sometimes I fail to pogo||
I fluked from || failed champion to abs rad ||
there is someone in right ||crossroads|| that has quite a few nice ones
I qas so nervous lol
That's so annoying
those are overblown imo, their patterns are decently consistent
I know, but It'd just take so long to get back there.
They didnt feel too hard
no ||wayward compass||...
I play on a laptop keyboard since I don't have my controller and sometimes it just unpress
Okay mr pro
3 hours????
Yes
yall if i die in ||path of pain|| on ||steel soul mode||, will i lose my save
tf
yes
It took me like 15 hrs to get to that point
What's wrong with that?
wtf
that's crazy fast
thtas so dumb
tbf that section is safer than the rest of the area because of infinite soul at every safe spot
Js use || hiveblood and grubsong || and u wont die
gl
||white palace and radiance are the only place that if you die in the dream world ,you lose||
both r easy
ya im gonna
just wanted to know incase
why do it on || steel soul || tho
i was planning to die at the end so i can keep practicing ||path of pain||
but now i shouldnt lol
even ||p5 radiance?||
You can just safe and quit
No
Last bench is before it all
qol mod (or saving and quitting) both allow infinite ||pop||
dont try it even
its gonna be my ||p5|| run too
itll be a waste of time and its too risky
how is it risky
||pop on steel soul 112 run is risky||
just at the end
I plan to do that too
Sub 5 ||ending|| and sub 20 100% and ||steel soul|| combine well
i'll probably die to the end guards if i get too shaky
If I dont die
could just use ||ddark|| tho
Thats what I did
I only took damage once because I was shaking and just forgot how to fight
But ||ddark|| spam wont fail you
With ||shaman|| they die well before you run out of soul
||pop core:||
||pop my beloved (i hate it)||
||Dung defender first try, so free lol.||
lol
fr
the other routes give me straight cancer
||qgls:||


How do I get to ||Isma's grove|| again?
check map online
Wh
I don't have Cheart
Go to ||Crystal Peak||
I know
how do u not have that by now 😭
Also ||isma's tear|| is good for ||shortcuts with acid water||
||greenparh becomes so much easier w it||
Help I'm bad I skipped ||false knight|| and stuck on ||Hornet|| 
||did u use the speedrunner strat||
by breaking the wall
to skip him
Mi bombo
On ||false knight|| yes
oh ald
alr
For ||shaw|| id js recommend to play passive and punish after she attacks
she has pretty slow cooldowns
for each attack
Ok thank
np
I will send message when I beat her
alr gl
Trying it right now on my switch to

Any tips on the second ||hornet|| fight
This is how bad I am
can some1 give me a ||traitor lord|| build plz
i have every charm
2nd to last nail
8 masks and 2 ||soul vessels||
Heelpp
It's alright we all were bad at some point
You will get better
Did you see the video I beond bad
i wasnt that much worse at first and now id say im pretty decent
You have all ||notches?||
I was like this at some point but now i defeated the second hardest boss if i can i am sure you can as well don't open if you don't want spoiler for a certain boss you will encounter few areas ahead
What's ||Shopkeepers key|| for?
give it to ||sly||
You need ||quill and then sit on a bench||
Okay
I did that
He ain't that hard i think you should do it but otherwise i think ||quick slash, mark of pride, unbreakable strength, steady body or grubsong can work||
i'll try it
ty
You should then have the map updated
Tips on fighting ||hornet|| please
gonna ||dream gate|| to him rn
here i go
._.??
Do I need to equip the ||quill|| or does it automatically work
its automatic (at benches)
It automatically works
Then why isn't it working
Does ||greenpath|| not have a ||map||
every major area has its own map that needs to be bought seperately
||i think When she does the attack where she makes silk around her wait a bit to attack her twice, when she dash at you just jump, when she jump and dash downwards walk to the opposite side||
Then why isn't it working
||cloth|| doesn't do shit
Thanks
If you are struggling to dodge with ||shadow dash i guess you can use sharp shadow||
Np
No seriously why isn't my map getting updated
Did you buy the item?
From the map guy's wife
Yes
Well you got a problem then I say restart the game
I literally did
Not the ||wayward compass but the other one||
Heres the vid if that helps
FUCK YEAH
Yes the ||quill||
How do I get to ||Monomon?||
Strange idk why then
So I saw your other messages and you sat on a bench I didn't work are you 100% sure you bought it or did you check the did you check the map for places when you were walking did you go off the map cuz that's when the ||quill|| would work
Niceeeeeeeee
You don't have map
'Do not have a map for this area'
each area has a different map that needs to be bought from the guy
Is there anything missing
Ohhhhh
i can finally get all of ||kingsoul||
How much does each cost
tysm for the build
How do I get to ||Archives?||
Different
Np
That's what you were stuck on
Omg did you think it would make you get a free map
Not to be harsh but that's not how that works
Welp at least now you know how to solve it 👍
True dat
Can anyone give me challenge idea
Playing hollow Knight but they have a randomizer and I'm at one heart
||p5 all binding||
randos are always a good idea
That's why I said that
No mods please
Playing hollow Knight but always on one heart lifebloob does not count as harts
This is better but not that I want i already beat no heal and 1 heart is just take more time
No charms?
Nty I wanna live
Fair
Or maybe you can try hollow knight on phone
I've tried hollow Knight on phone it's hard
Yeah i am playing it on it and it's infuriating when fighting small enemies
I'm not go play this on phone ever
Cuz all the small buttons
Fine
Why ._.
Wait wouldn't that be mod
I just hate it for no reason
I mean it's in your name
- piracy
- doesnt sound fun at all (||p5ab|| is at least a little fun sometimes, though i just started working on it)
I forgot.-.
Idk how 😭
When it's Infront of my face
It's fun...
I beat ||all radiant || a while ago I want something non ||pantheon||
I'm bad I'm stuck on ||Hornet||
Hey guys, I’m new, and dw iMm even worse
It's alright you will
eventually
That's why I said no charms
This can't be ._.
The map was 60 geo
What's a good ||charm setup for UumuU?||
I made my own discord and that's an emoji in it nice
Wow it doesn't delete hollow knight message
I had 500 geo but died before I killed the ||shade|| that had it
Also nice pfp, Vegeta is my favourite Dbz character
Very nice
First or second?
First
First
Okay
Finally Someone who's favourite character is Vegeta
He’s the best written
Fr
What's a good ||charm setup for UumuU?||
Bro is spitting facts ✅
Can you send your inventory?
Bye
Bye
Bye👋
What the fu## is this
I am honestly surprised how you reach him with only having thes charms
Like this
Is this your first play
How
I dunno
Ok now that make little more sense but anyways
Does anyone know the ||casting time of abyss shriek? I did the math and it seems that nail is better in almost all senarios, so i'm wondering if shriek is even worth casting.||
I didn't feel like it
But otherwise i think the best you can go with is ||fragile strength, soul catcher if you think you can do it first try, if not soul catcher, Mark of pride, not sure tho||
Why all new players have like nothing || notches ||
Ok ||notches why didn't you collect furry||
._.?
those two serve different purposes (theres also ||shaman stone raising damage to 120, considering that youre probably factoring in quickslash for the nail||)
||shriek is a blanket aoe, nail is not (its also more spammable for stationary or large enemies, though it somewhat falls off when the target doesnt have a hurtbox eg. true ending final boss)||
Please just buy good ||charms from salubra||
||im in white palace trying to find the pale kings body for frag. I am on the bench near the exit sign that had like a yellow light. I went to the left and it’s all blocked off now after I died. Am I soft locked because I don’t want to do path of pain||
i don’t think so, send an image or a vid of everything
||POP|| is optional
||i dream nailed the dreamer in city of tears but nothing happened what do i do||
Wdym nothing happened?
t||he dreamer disappered and its gone from the map||
The ones that aren’t warriors just die when you do that
Oh those
||so i have its mask?||
Yeah the main ||dreamers|| don’t fight you
Here is 3 || dreamers in the game when you beat all 3 something happened ||
What in the ||infinite void||
||so i have to find the other dreamers then ill get their masks?||
Not the ||mask|| you will see what happened when you find it
Yes
I don't want spoiler
||i dont have the mask from city of tears in confused||
idc for spoilers
How do I get to the ||failed champion|| from here? Both entrances are blocked off from ||infected crossroads||
help on ||brooding mawlek radiant||
I know
yo help me
||this mask disappears from black egg temple||
send smt
s||o its at the temple rn?||
can I dm
send a pic or vid
?
sure why not
it’s quicker
|| dreamer is dead when you kill other 2 temple will open||
Guys….
ok can i dm you if i need more help?
How Can i beat the second panteón😭
Ok np
ok thx
Just don't get a hit
read the color of his brush as an indicator of the next attack
||In my opinion it's easier than 2 in first pantheon ||
It’s easy but the paint man it’s the dificult thing for me 😭
Just train it a little then go beat it
Bro I tried it like 1 hour
|| don't go to pantheon train in the hall of goods||
Ok
Haha
||most craziest thing it’s that I beat radiance like 45m and I got 1 hour whit this paint man and I did not even make damage 😭||
You lose like 10min to get to it
Idk why a bot it’s telling me to do”||”
Spoilers
The last time it says because ||radiance||
Ok
||don't go to pantheon before you have chance to beat the final boss from pantheon ||
Ok
Just put this thing when you say anything from hk || like charms bosses nps names ...||
K
The hardest thing about ||path of pain|| are the stupid pogo hitboxes
currently stuck on that part
Is it me or do enemies damage you by fucking touching them
Yes
i think thats intended tho
The hardest... it's not hard
When I first time completing it I was disappointed how easy it is
Ok maybe it's because 100h in celeste before it
maybe not having played celeste is the problem then
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
?
Congrats
thanks
You will die because how hard it is but then hk platforming will be easy
||Where is Nosk?||
In the ||deepnest||
@supple mountain
!
I have been sunmoned
Congrats!
Thank you!
What for
I figured out why it wasn’t 112%
What was it
Go play celeste
The game for some reason reason bugged,the first ascension didn’t bug and then when I talked to it,I got no award
It wasn’t your fault
The game just bugged me😭
I am a bug
In hk is a lot of buggs
Ascension is the most missed achievement
AND THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
People just forget to go back to him
God I hate the furry ones with a shield
Sadly I never missed it broke😭
Now
ya'll got any methods of beating ||gray prince zote|| in ||pantheon 3||? I've tried my best but my methods aren't working and I'm not making any progress past him
||Do you guys have any advice? Fighting winged Nosk on ascended?||
Now to beat t
P.A.N.T.H.E.O.N. 5
way to spoil it :\
No it's shit just play
that's not helpful at all???
Don't get a hit
But it's real I beat 100% achievements and all ||radiant || and I don't have tactic for him
okay that's great but i'm specifically asking for methods to beat him? telling me to just play the game when i want to beat him isn't helping in the slightest
i already know i have to play the game
genuinely why do people respond like this it's so weird
Because why not
alri bro 😐
beat who
?
||his simplest move is falling through the floor, which is countered with a dive (guessing youre already using this)
when he goes in the air to do a down hit with the nail, save the dash until hes chosen a direction to go in, using it early will probably result in getting predicted
i use great/cyclone slash as often as possible (though this is probably because im used to bindings, spells should work fine) on the jumps/zoteling summons
when he spawns volatile zotelings (the ones that explode), id use a dive if theyre too close||
Il help
why does my hk just feel like not pogoing sometimes
dream?
||gpz p3||
tyrant?
||gray prince zote||
he's annoyingly hard
Yep
||elegy||??
It's the most annoying boss imo
||quick And elergy and heart and quick focus||
that’s the combo I beat with
FR
||elergy?||
shouldn’t have saved him
what is ||elegy|| doing it will not be helpful there
yes more range
WHY DE HELL DO YOU USE ||ELEGY||
I’m joking
IM JOKING
thanks for the help
u can put whatever u want there
:D
Thanks
I DID IT
long and mark
Did what
i use ||unbreakable strength, unbreakable heart, spell twister, and steady body||
NO
LAST CHARM
i made it to the fitgh at the end of ||path of pain||
NO NO NO
Yes
only 8 ||notches||?
what?
CONGRATS
YO
dude please
||steadybody and spell twister|| are fine
bro
it is done
8
i have pathed my pain
what's wrong with ||steady body and spell twister||?
yeah my bad
nothing
bouncing back in place is lowkey annoying and i save soul by using st
does anyone have tips for ||ascended xero||
the spikes are so annoying
||especially in p5||
i suggest ||dreamshield||
Spell spell and again spell
||ascended xero|| does not have spikes
sure its the right name?
if it is: ||shadesoul|| will pretty much always doublehit because of his low kb resistance so just use that, maybe a ||greatslash|| if hes too close
+||shaman||
yes
||radiant though||
the stage changes
is what i meant
What bosses you already beat?
Obviously, but where?
very close to the ||hotspring|| in the bottom right, through a bunch of breakable walls
Good question idk
Next to ||sharp shadow?||
somewhat yeah, but to the left instead of the right
What’s the closest bench to ||Nosk?||
the ||hotspring||
theres a shortcut that can be opened from most of the way towards the arena that makes the runback pretty short
cant tell because its small but i think thats a spot to return to
Yeah it's impossible
Teqnok do you have any tips for ||p3ab||?
Wasn't I supposed to uh, fight ||hornet|| before getting to ||fog canyon||
You are if no skips
i spent the entirety of yesterday grinding it out, probably 5 hours straight of ||zote|| practice
-# instead of writing a paper 
||zote and collector are the 2 big walls in p3ab, oomas/uumuu can be dnailed for free soul and hornet sentinel has a pretty low hit counter per stagger so its not hard to heal (sly is also just free, along with hive knight and elderhu)||
for ||collector, i use a very tight cyclone slash on every group of spawns to take out as many as possible, and a shade soul (only if absolutely necessary) if it gets too crowded to clear the arena, along with not getting too ambitious with hits on collector himself (fight probably took like 7 minutes)||
||zote|| just needs a ton of practice idk what to really say for him
No all the lock is locked for you
Ok ty
||tips for ascended markoth||
Pray
||use phase 1 to build soul from nail/great slashes and spam shade soul on a shield spin in phase 2 (should get very close to a kill if not outright kill)||
Yo i just said pray since when is that a spoiler
wdym
will try. my main issue is that he just moves randomly which is really annoying
||especially during phase 2 with his shields||
All locations where are something you need is locked for you rn
It's second hardest boss in ||radiant || imo
||is unbreakable heart fine in palace!||
mark?
HELLPP
yup
Man.
If it's|| unbreakable it will not break, if it's fragile ||it will
Hello
Any tips for ||hornet||
pogo
||I hate the oníric versión of the boss 4 the monarch wings||
I can't pogo if my life depends on it
take your time and dont worry
||markoth literally just chased me around the field and hit me into the spikes twice in a row, amazing. he was two shot||
What I need for 112%
How am I supposed to heal mid battle, or can I not(||hornet1||
What’s the best place to geo farm?
you can do it while shes down or when she throws the spear at you just stay far away
Any tips on the second ||hornet|| fight
any ||charms|| to help with ||colosseum of fools||?
Make sure to get rid of the ||traps she sets later in the fight|| fast, as those can be a pain if kept unchecked
Use staggers to heal.
When she does her air slashes
Ok ty
the main thing that I needed to learn was that ||the traps can be destroyed||
fight wasn't too bad after
i need this too
im tryna do this on ||radiant|| aswell
||how do u know when she is gonna dash or throw her needle?||
||Probably quick focus and soul catcher but you might want to get some more charms and notches which will help a lot||
im.. not sure actually, but theyre both dodged the same way so it doesnt matter
I’m stuck on ||failed champion||
What charms should I use for the second ||hornet|| fight
mm okay
4 ||notches is way below whats possible at that point, and thorns usually does more harm than good (due to the iframe time spent locked in the animation); with that inventory id probably do soulcatcher spelltwister||
some things to keep in mind
||if he jumps forward, he is doing a normal hammer attack, staying still or jumping backwards is likely a slam attack||
||staying in his face and dashing under him to dodge the normal jump attacks then retreating when a slam attack is coming is a strategy that works for me, rarely if ever have to worry about rocks due to him soaking it all up with his big hitbox if you are at his face||
thanks!
bit of a learning curve at first, but not too hard to consistently beat once you get this down
||you can also leave each stagger with full health and soul||
||I’ve been dream nailing him each stagger||
how many times?
and another thing to note:
||Falling rocks can be useful to do some damage during his repeated slam attack after a stagger, since hitting them towards him will do some damage||
also @golden flower ty for advice, finally beat ||ascended markoth. Did it two hit which gives me hope for radiant in the future||
To get as much soul to heal ~3 times with ||quick focus||
||there's a way to get full health and soul. Essentially how failed champion and false knight work is that when they are staggered, they stay staggered on a timer. when this timer ends, the health of their armour resets. This timer also automatically ends when you deal enough damage to the maggot
But, there's a way to reset this timer. Hitting the maggot will do that, however only allows you to do it once since 2 hits is all it takes to end the stagger. The other way is just to hit the armour. This will reset the timer, allowing you heal and dream nail him in intervals of generally around 2 regular dream nails worth of time.||
thanks!
|| what’s the optimal charm build to beat gray prince zote? ||
|| it’s in the ancient basin, you’ll have to go down and you’ll find a huge door to open ||
can u mark it on the map?
here
ty
yo where the fragment?
My wifi is terrible, sorry it sent after lol
|| white fragment? ||
||how much essence do you have||
no um sorry|| vessel fragmant near cornifer||
Oh just put geo into the fountain
oh ok
ik i need ||awoken dreamnail||
okok
Sure
3000 geo
||Js dream nail some bosses and the elder guys||
Itll awaken insanely fast
what’s the cheese method for ||nosk||?
|| sit against the platform in the middle just hugging the left side ||
thanks!
definitely not ||thorns||
oh why did discord show that as the first thing lol
||how much of the game do i got left after the hollow knight boss||
||im fighting radience before i attempt to get to absolute radiance does anyone got any tips for him? ||
|| abuse shriek at the start of the fight and after attacks, and ddark can also break the floor spikes ||
alot
Alr
@topaz sparrow ||i got pure nail!||
what do i do after i got my ||dream nail|| to max lvl
What would be good for the second ||hornet|| fight
|| shaman stone
Steady body and soul catcher||
Ok
is there a concrete way to fight this or
||if i try to dream nail any of them she starts attacking in a way i can’t hit ||
Kill all the other guys there first
Then you can
but its also like no reward besides a little || essence || (1 per)
Not worth it
||like this||
||i can’t fight them btw bc as soon as i dream nail any of them she appears ||
Got chu
it doesn’t give %?
it doesn't
But they dont respawn after you || dnail || them
But like i said its basically pointless
it gives you like 20 or 30 ||essence|| total, I forgot
|| how do I beat radiance ts my charm set too btw ||
okay yea not worth it
|| equip shaman and start the fight with multiple shrieks, with more after certain attacks. Dive also breaks floor spikes.
Overall, carefree melody and stalwart shell arent gonna do much for you, cfm -> shaman and stalwart -> catcher is good ||
||DIVE BREAKS SPIKES???||
oml I didn't know this
|| The thing is my build is like health related I wanna be bulky yk ||
I didn’t even see that Lwk
|| carefree melody || is still not the charm to use for that anyways
How do I unlock this area?
Any form of || iframes || does. If you're comfortable doing it then || shade dash || does with proper timing
|| But like it has a chance to not do dmg to me it’s actually rlly useful because I just be swinging at vessel and it be working ||
Beat || 8 pantheon binding ||
Use what you wanna use, starting with || shrieks || is still good
Neither that or ||nkg||
Got chu lmao Lune the goat
Like beat one of them with all bindings?
Oops
Any attack in particular? If you're getting hit to everything then just practise more in || HoG||
Oh mb goat
The 3 sword
You gotta beat || P5 full bindings ||
Doesnt have to be, just 8 total across all || pantheons||. Whether thats 1 at a time or 4 at once doesnt matter
Oh nvm
Oh alr thx
Where he does his triple slash? Jump away and pogo it or just || shade dash || through
I do it but it hits me
Then you're most likely attacking too much (attacking when he is also able to)
0k
you just have to practise the timing more, its the 2nd hardest boss ykwim
@vague fern this is the only reason I’m using that charm build rn
What does ykwim mean
You know what I mean
You know what i mean
Yes
basically
Just depends on the player imo
Yes by far
And the ||nkg||
guys
pls suggest a gud charm build fr ||radiance||
i hv all charms
|| absrad >> pv >= nkg || is the general consensus
Wait what’s || nkg ||
||Nightmare king Grimm||
Ohhh yeah never doing that boss
All of them have different things they demand out of you
But yeah
grr
Oh dayum
|| shaman and strength are a must, then id reccomend quick slash, quick focus, or mop as well. For the last two notches id run soul catcher or twister so you can spam shrieks during the fight ||
Ok
how do i reach these two areas
tysm
guys when i installed the ||benchwarp mod|| i cant teleport to benches i have to sit on them first is that normal or not?
|| left one is from above (in kedge), right one is from inside the hive and you gotta cdash -> wings into a gap in the roof ||
Theres a setting that unlocks all beches
theres a breakable floor nearby
ok oh ty
||I can somewhat consistently no-hit nkg, but I can't really with pure vessel as often and I rarely beat absolute radiance, so yeah||
thanks
||NKG is my personal favorite however||
||How do I program the game to have artificial intelligence and give Grimm the ability to feel emotion, and how ill I be able to make him feel sharp pains? Is this too much to ask for?||
guh

i don’t know what to do after ||beating the hollow knight, getting all the essences (currently 2000+)||
i’m sure there’s more i can unlock
|| u can go to some secret areas ||
Go to the water and explore for trials
u mean ||royal waterways||?
i’ve also got the max lvl of ||dream nail||
What % are you at, there is an area where you're really never meant to leave, so I would go there once you get 108 percent completion.
Any tips for ||abs absrad? Im currently running strength, qs, shaman, and fury||
Lots of spoilers ahead
||Here’s some tips for the radiance just in case some of y’all are struggling:
The radiance has audio cues for their attacks so if you want to dodge better, it’s best to turn down the music
If you were recently died after you start the fight again spam abyss shriek this should at least get you close to phase 2
Once there’s a little spikes on the ground, use descending dark to temporarily remove them
This isn’t really a tip, but more of a recommendation I recommend taking breaks in between phases if you’re starting to get nervous, it helped me a lot
I hope at least one of these helps||
my current % is 88
Charms are most percents
||im using fury cuz it does 4 masks so ill be at 1 health for a bit||
i’ve got like 10 left

tips on ||grimm?|| i have all of the ||charms|| except for ||kingsoul/voidheart and grubberfly (i have grimmchild not carefree melody)||
Do u have a particular move u always mess up on
All his moves have a pattern u can use to consistently dodge them
Or moveset
hi
multiple, the ||horizontal-upward diagonal, and the spikes attack||
i’m terrible at dodging
The ||spikes at the bottom?|| those u can try jumping if u don’t have too fast reflexes but that isn’t safe cuz they can go slightly diagonal
also, is it dumb to hit him during the bow?
yes and no
If u can time it then no
you can get a hit at the very end of it without him going into pufferfish
the ||pufferfish|| is easy to dodge
which is just free damage
But just a waste of time unless u have soul
With the ||uppercut? Horizontal->up move just jump and pogo and dong walk back||
||What badges should i use for hollow knight boss||
Don’t
ngl when i fight ||grimm||, i turn sound effects down a little bit to abt 8 and keep music all the way up, is that dumb?
||grimm||’s theme slaps
Idt it makes a difference
Idk
I don’t think audio cues are different to visual cues
In terms of timing
Aight
im so pissed rn
@sudden bronze I have 150 messages but I dont have vc perms
you have to dm modmail, not @ it
Oh ok
Please wait a bit as the change has just been implemented, and for modmail to work you need to actually dm it
Also this channel is for ingame hollow knight help
I LOST MY DAMN ||STEEL SOUL|| TO ||UUMUU||
Wrong channel
Best charms for ||the collector?||
anything
What do you have
he is easy
Just say
||strength|| is basically a must
i came here to ask for tips on how not to die
Nail focused build and the ||charm that help you swing dream nail faster||
Well then what are you stuck with
Ok
im too risky and want tips on how to be safer
In general or for that boss
general
||traitor lord|| 4 attempts
Wait…
She never interrvened
What does that mean?
U didn’t interact with her story enough
||you need to see her at fungal and queens for her to fight with you i think||
||cloth|| da goat
I mean
Try not to panic?
Here's an easy tips but you can quit out right before you die to save your file
Try beating the game woth low hit taken but it's really just taking it slow and dont give in to frustration
||practice radiant or attuned difficulty in pantheon also||
ok
thanks
Thats good!
That means shes alive right?
But she never intervened
Alive but sad
Why
oh she is alive?
if she fights ||traitor lord|| with you then she dies
but dont you have to save her at one point
so wouldnt she be dead?
She will be alive unless you interact with her a lot up until ||traitor lord fight||
this spoilerbot is pissing me off
||Js spoiler mark the whole thing||
You gotta do separated spoiler if ya wannt give hints or like, do gradual help
Any is every
Bru
|| can ANYONE help me with a charm build to beat radiance? These are the charms I have ||
Full survival build doesnt seem like a good move
If you dont kill it it wont die
|| do you prefer nail or spells? ||
I mean as long as I can get that sweet juicy dmg idc
Tbh explore more and get more equipment
|| The best strategy to open the radiance fight is that on hk's final phase, dont heal and try to get max soul. Once the radiance fight starts, you can BLAST her face off with abyss shreieks and basically skip the first phase, so defo have shaman stone||
Whoever typed that huge paragraph rememeber to fetch ghemedsage before it's gone
|| ok well either way i would recommend getting more charms and items before you attempt her ||
I just wrote the best advice ever and it got autodeleted because i forgot to spoiler || a spell ||
Okay
But like
what charms are best like Lwk
|| Quickslash||
Got it, I need to search that up
too lazy to look rn
especially cuz that cold front is coming
I got no time
|| shaman stone, mark of pride, soul twister, unbreakable strength ||
