[polar flicker]

Crazy take

[polar flicker]

Did u watch the credits

[thorn pond]

after ||thk||?

[pseudo zephyr]

Got him under 5 attempts using a controller and ||radiant|| after like 15

[polar flicker]

Rlly ?

[silent fern]

mmm i need to find another one

[primal harbor]

The one in ||Edge|| gives 51

[polar flicker]

Damn that's cool

[primal harbor]

Have you collected the ||Whispering Roots in Kingdom's Edge||?

[primal ibex]

Most of them give abt 20 though

[silent fern]

no but im going to the one in || the lift in ancient basin||

[pseudo zephyr]

Let me guess ||awakened dream nail||?

[silent fern]

[pseudo zephyr]

[leaden gust]

[primal harbor]

That one gives 35

[leaden gust]

total

[silent fern]

😭 5 more

[leaden gust]

rip

[silent fern]

oh nvm

thats barely enough

[pseudo zephyr]

After ||cdash|| it's ||double jump|| right?

[primal harbor]

You can do the one in ||Greenpath|| for 44 or ||Howling Cliffs|| for 46

[silent fern]

im one over 900 😭

[silent fern]

nah after doing that one, ill get one over 900 lol

[primal harbor]

okay

[pseudo zephyr]

Then ||hornet sentinel (I HATE her)|| ||then shade cloak|| right?

[primal harbor]

yes

[pseudo zephyr]

I can do a little speedrun I think

[leaden gust]

why u hate ||sentinel||

[silent fern]

shes fun

i js hate her damn spikes

[leaden gust]

same

[primal harbor]

W

[leaden gust]

||you have 900 essence but pure nail and all abilities but only dash slash, i have like nothing with 900 and all that with 2000||

[silent fern]

what

ooh ya

||i need more nail arts||

[leaden gust]

did u like skip every ||dream boss or what||

[silent fern]

wdym lol

they r optional in the first place

[leaden gust]

imo ||nail arts|| are only useful for Collo of fools

[silent fern]

i js didnt do all of them yet

[leaden gust]

and maybe bosses

bro

900 ||essence||

[silent fern]

yes

[leaden gust]

but all ||spells||

[silent fern]

i killed ||lost kin and soul tyrant||

[leaden gust]

imo do ||failed champion|| its ez if u have a brain

[silent fern]

yes i killed ||hornet, essence does not correlate w spells???||

[leaden gust]

then do ||xero,markoth,no eyes,marmu and galien||

[silent fern]

ok

[leaden gust]

yes i agree it doesn't, but you haven't done any ||dream bosses since u got the dream nail||?

[silent fern]

i've done 2

i got ||dnail pretty late||

[leaden gust]

except these 2

[leaden gust]

oh

[silent fern]

i got ||dreamgate|| how do i use

can ||Dreamgate|| be used to shorten boss runbacks

[untold matrix]

On controller it is holding triangle up looking either up or down to set the place and then then holding triangle and looking either up or down to use it

[leaden gust]

hold ||dream nail button and look down to place, up to teleport, teleporting uses 1 essence, put the dreamgate outside the arena||

[silent fern]

oh ty

ty

but can it be used to prevent boss runbacks

like will it still work after u die

[leaden gust]

yes

even if u quit and restart

did u do ||traitor lord yet||

if not, do place it like right under the entrance

the runback hurts my soul

better if u do it

[silent fern]

no

[leaden gust]

k

i'll give u tips

[silent fern]

does it take ||essence|| to set down a ||dreamgate||

[leaden gust]

no

only to tp

[silent fern]

i gtg i have school in half n hour

[leaden gust]

oh dang

[silent fern]

ok good

alr cya

[leaden gust]

cya

[tight orchid]

||traitor lord :(||

[leaden gust]

what about it

||runback or need tips||

[fringe mortar]

Worst boss ever lol

[tight orchid]

Tips

[tight orchid]

I agree

[leaden gust]

||shade cloak through his everything and if ur good enough, shade dash through his dash, immediatly look back and shade soul, i recommend dreamgating and having quick slash or ub strngth(if u dont have any of those i can show u my build||

[fringe mortar]

Good luck! It took me too long and then I asked for help here and finally beat her

[tight orchid]

Thank you!

[leaden gust]

||it took me about 10 attempts after getting dreamgate, the runback is worse than the boss, i'd rather do radiant bosses than the runback||

[tight orchid]

I knowww

[tight orchid]

Do you know when to heal?

[fringe mortar]

Frr. ||i did it a few times before getting dreamgate and nopped myself out||

[fringe mortar]

Dont heal. Shes very fast

[tight orchid]

Does ||dreamgate|| still work even if you die?

[leaden gust]

yes

otherwise there would be no point

[leaden gust]

||either (my way) deep focus before the boss or quick focus and pray||

maybe ||baldur or stalwart shell, or something, never tried them||

[tight orchid]

Ill try

[leaden gust]

||the quick focus one was a joke, dash through his dash if u have shade cloak and spam shade soul after dashing through his dash(shade soul at him btw)||

[crystal juniper]

how do you write those gray things

[leaden gust]

what

[tight orchid]

Oh ok :D

[leaden gust]

there are like 20 gray things in hollow knight

[tight orchid]

The censor thingy?

[leaden gust]

||also stay calm cuz u have dreamgate and just focus on the fight and what attack he does||

[crystal juniper]

yeah

[leaden gust]

do || then ur thing then do that again at the end like |l

[tight orchid]

Just use || in before after words

[leaden gust]

|l hi |l

[tight orchid]

Okie dokie

[leaden gust]

' l ' is placeholder

[cosmic gull]

||after he jumps start healing while he's in the air|| or when he does either ||special depending on position but usually relying on you being far away||

[tight orchid]

Hmm

[crystal juniper]

im new to hk how do i defeat || husk guard || ?

[fringe mortar]

I personally found it harder to heal in between. Keep dodging even if you cant hit her.

[leaden gust]

||u usually hit him, retreat his attack, hit him in the end lag retreat till he dies||

[cosmic gull]

||Whack walk away wait for attack walk in|| repeat

[crystal juniper]

thanks

to both

[leaden gust]

yw

are u planning to s tay long term or rage quit

[fringe mortar]

Dont jinx him😭

[leaden gust]

nah im jk

[opaque junco]

Need help with ||sly||

[leaden gust]

||p3 boss one? same||

[silent fern]

guys is there a way to fight ||watcher knights|| again it was rlly fun

[opaque junco]

How far in are you?

[silent fern]

mid-game ig

i havent unlocked the ||hall of gods|| or whhatever its called

[opaque junco]

Thats the only way

I can direct you if you want

[silent fern]

which area is it in

[opaque junco]

||Waterways||

[silent fern]

oh

i gtg tho

so not rn

[opaque junco]

Sounds good

[rigid wren]

Does anyone have tips on how to beat the ||Watcher Knights?||

[real condor]

||when the two watcher knights are close together, use ddive/ddark to damage both at once. You can get two hits in guaranteed between attacks. When they do the jump, the first one almost never hits you, so wait for the second jump and dash underneath||

Hope that helps🫶

[rigid wren]

THANK YOU 💗💗

[bold dragon]

try ||going for a spell build. all spells hit multiple as apose to the nail||

[real condor]

You’re welcome🫶 🫶

[rigid wren]

[rigid wren]

[naive swan]

F that || flower quest || 🤬🤬🤬

[marsh gyro]

Just bench warp id say

[gray tulip]

True

[naive swan]

Fighting || pure vessel is easier then this ||

[gray tulip]

Tip just kill everything before

[marsh gyro]

Bench warp

[naive swan]

I tried to do it for more then 30 times I wasted like 1 hour

[naive swan]

What ?

If sit on a bench the || flower will be destroyed cuz it is too fragile ||

[marsh gyro]

No it wont

[naive swan]

Really

[marsh gyro]

Iya

[rich vine]

It's mods and the game isn't prepared for it

Benchwarp just lets you teleport to any bench

[naive swan]

How ?

Do I do that

[marsh gyro]

||sit the the queens garden stags bench go get the flower save out and go back in||

[rich vine]

Oh that works too actually

[naive swan]

To where

[marsh gyro]

The || queens garden stag||

[naive swan]

It won’t be destroyed?

U sure

[marsh gyro]

Nope

Yep

[naive swan]

K

I’ll try

[hollow sluice]

it will be destroyed

are we dum?

[marsh gyro]

No it wont

I've done it

[hollow sluice]

it even says in the quest

that they destroy

||stag and bench||

[marsh gyro]

||You don't go through the stag||

Bench warp

[hollow sluice]

would it destroy?

[marsh gyro]

No it wont

[hollow sluice]

since ur sitting on a bench

[marsh gyro]

No

[hollow sluice]

hm

fair

also mb but i i understood in like u meant to use a ||stag||

[naive swan]

Even the || last stag says it will be destroyed ||

[naive swan]

Wait what ?

[hollow sluice]

||set ur spawn point next to gueens garden stag||

and then reload ur game

[marsh gyro]

Yep

[hollow sluice]

||with flower||

[naive swan]

Um ok

[whole sluice]

After getting the ||flower

[marsh gyro]

Yep

[rigid wren]

Hi! I'm sorry, i was bussy 💔

[naive swan]

Even if it is destroyed

[hollow sluice]

its called bench warrping it isnt a bug its just a feature

[primal harbor]

it's alright

[hollow sluice]

no

[marsh gyro]

It won't be destroyed if you do tht

[hollow sluice]

u have to have it fixed

[rigid wren]

[naive swan]

So u mean if I go through a || stag || it will be destroyed then I go to a bench and reload the game

…

[marsh gyro]

Correct

[naive swan]

Alr I’ll try

What is || queens garden again ||

In the|| stag||

Nvm

[real condor]

Have you tried ||watcher knights|| yet then?

[naive swan]

Stupid me

[rigid wren]

Yeah, of course. But I don’t have many upgrades I’m actually really bad at the game

[naive swan]

It is destroyed?

[marsh gyro]

What?

[naive swan]

Wait lemme try again

[primal harbor]

You'll get it eventually

[marsh gyro]

You set your spawn ||at the stag in queens garden not station then used the stag to go to resting grounds got the flower and saved and quit||

[hollow sluice]

alr let me explain ||set ur bench at gueens garden THEN go get flower quest once u get in reload ur game and just go and hand in the flower at the grave of the traitor lord||

[naive swan]

Alr

[real condor]

Wait you can do that??

I did it normally lol

[marsh gyro]

||traitor lord?||

[hollow sluice]

same

[hollow sluice]

yes its the grave of ||Traitor lords son||

[primal harbor]

||Not that it matters in how you complete the quest, but it's the Traitor Lord's daughter||

[hollow sluice]

if u explore the area there u will fidn out

[primal harbor]

daughter, actually

[hollow sluice]

I MAY BE WRONG but i remember vagely that i read it somewhere

[hollow sluice]

ah there we go

well if u search around u can find out that

[naive swan]

K I’m reloading the game

[hollow sluice]

alr

[marsh gyro]

It's the ||traitor's child||

[naive swan]

It is destroyed

[primal harbor]

So... when are you gonna send it?

[marsh gyro]

Just take the e normal route then

[naive swan]

K

[rigid wren]

@primal harbor

[primal harbor]

You're missing quite a lot of stuff
This fight is gonna be very hard

[rigid wren]

I told you I was bad at the game

[primal harbor]

You're not bad, per se, just that you missed it

[rapid yacht]

it's a tough fight. any range upgrades help, but maybe you could go elsewhere first

[whole sluice]

He hasn’t gotten it ingrated in him that he should attack every wall in the world

[naive swan]

[real condor]

If you wanna use what you have, I recommend ||steady body and longnail||

[rigid wren]

What would you recommend? Should I get more charms and upgrades before fighting them?

[whole sluice]

Under what circumstances are we recommending ||steady body||

[rapid yacht]

really almost any other fight you're likely to encounter is easier

[whole sluice]

What fight is bro on?

[gloomy stirrup]

New player?

[real condor]

||it’s better than you think. Makes nail combos easier and stops you having to inch forwards every two seconds||

[rigid wren]

Thank you

[rigid wren]

Yess

[gloomy stirrup]

Nice me too

[whole sluice]

What fight is bro on?

[real condor]

Ofc🫶 do that alongside my tips from earlier, and I hope you win!!!’

[real condor]

||watcher knights||

[whole sluice]

💀

Bro should not be fighting those guy rn.

[rigid wren]

Omg haha

[rigid wren]

[gloomy stirrup]

Yeah 1 and a half week player

[rapid yacht]

if there is literally any other place you can go first, you should do that probably

[rigid wren]

really? I've been playing for about two months, and I always lose the fights

[whole sluice]

Truly the best advice I can give is just turn around and come back later

[primal harbor]

I'd recommend ||upgrading your nail a couple times at least and exploring the world for more stuff like charms and spells||

[whole sluice]

Some bosses are just harder than others and you have to have areas to haven’t explored yet.

[rigid wren]

Okay, thank you 🐟

[gloomy stirrup]

Damn

[primal harbor]

It'd be a gruelling fight, not worth it. I fought them WAY later and it took me a good hour.

[gloomy stirrup]

I have this things

[primal harbor]

Hey, spoilers

[gloomy stirrup]

I putted the spoiler

Bruh

[primal harbor]

Doesn't matter, it's still a spoiler

[rigid wren]

You have a lot more things than me HAHA

[primal harbor]

?tag uncspoilers

[languid radish]

🔹 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.

[gloomy stirrup]

Bruh

[gloomy stirrup]

Yeah

[primal harbor]

You shouldn't show or tell people things they didn't explicitly ask for

[naive swan]

FUUUU

CCKKKK

[rigid wren]

[naive swan]

[primal harbor]

[primal harbor]

@rigid wren, did you read this?

[rigid wren]

Yes! Thank you again, i love you

[primal harbor]

[rigid wren]

[native tinsel]

I FINALLY BEAT ||RADSLY|| OMG

[rigid wren]

OMG CONGRATULATIONS

[naive swan]

Ok I tried this like 38 times

If I lose I’m going to die

|| https://tenor.com/view/jake-gyllenhaal-angry-shake-mirror-scream-gif-16244849 ||

[native tinsel]

What r u struggling with?

[whole sluice]

||flower quest||

My only advice is that you can kill a lot of enemies on the way to the quest so you don’t have to deal with them on the way there.

[primal harbor]

Nightcrawler 🔥

[native tinsel]

If you are struggling with ||flower quest||, here’s a quick tutorial:

1. ||Get the dreamgate ability which requires 900 essence. Congrats, you can teleport now.||
2. ||Set a dream gate at the flower npc and bench at the bench over there.||
3. ||Clear every enemy on the route.||
4. ||Teleport to the npc, get the flower and do the route.||

Congrats, you did the ||flower quest|| :D

@naive swan

Here the right route imo

[naive swan]

LEETTSSS GOOOOOO

Oh

[naive swan]

|| I literally did all of that without seeing it but I went to blue lake ||

Tho thx for the advice

[naive swan]

Ez

Even when I had the quest they were still ez

Ok now to beat

|| the radiance ||

[real condor]

Actually really easy, js learn the attacks

[naive swan]

FINALLY

[naive swan]

I know how to beat him

He is ez

Beated him under 2 min

But || absrad ||

This one ain’t ez

[real condor]

Nope

[hollow sluice]

accualy he is

im having more trouble with ||pure vessel than abs rad||

[naive swan]

Bro

Wdym ur having trouble with an ez boss

And u can beat a harder boss

[tired root]

fym...WE FIGHT. THE ||SUN????||

[hollow sluice]

for me its the vice versa

[naive swan]

Yeah unfortunately

Ur cooked

[tired root]

I HAVE 8 MASKS

[naive swan]

But after a month you’ll be a master of the game

[hollow sluice]

i mean the only reason im doing ||abs rad on radiance mode is beacuse i died twice on pure vessel in p5 :(||

[naive swan]

Wow good start

[naive swan]

Broooooo wdym it is too ez

[hoary anvil]

i only have more trouble with ||pure vessel|| now because i grinded ||absrad|| a ton after i could beat them because it's fun to play very aggressive on

[tired root]

AND 2 ||VESSEL|| SOUL CONTAINER THINGS

[naive swan]

Except for the last one

[naive swan]

Wow

[hollow sluice]

YES

[tired root]

IM COOKED

[hollow sluice]

I AGREE 100%

[naive swan]

Actually u might win this

[tired root]

I MIGHT NOT

[hollow sluice]

HOLY FINALLY SOMONE THAT UNDERSTAND ME

[naive swan]

Just try to learn his attacks

You might beat him after like 4 tries

[naive swan]

He is fighting || normal radiance ||

[hollow sluice]

lowk i feel powered up to do more ||radiant abs radiance now||

[hollow sluice]

eh what does he do 1 damage?

[hoary anvil]

i still think ||absrad|| is objectively harder, particularly when you're learning them, it's just that i also do better at it with the practice diff

[hollow sluice]

• slow attacks + not stacking attacks

[hollow sluice]

it took me less to learn ||abs rad than pure vessel||

[hoary anvil]

huh ... it took me actually ||beating absrad in p5|| for them to click for me

[tired root]

The ||Radience||... HAS 1700 HEALTH?!😭

[hollow sluice]

oh i havent done ||p5 yet||

[hoary anvil]

((i was at like a <5% win rate before the ||p5 clear||))

[hollow sluice]

i think ima do ||abs rad on radiant first then maybe pv on radiant||

[hollow sluice]

yeah it aint that bad

[hoary anvil]

||godseeker+|| mod?

[hollow sluice]

nope

[tired root]

I HAVE. A AHH ||CHARM|| SET AND A ||COILED NAIL||

[hoary anvil]

the fact that they aren't unlocked by default in ||godseeker mode|| is irritating

[hollow sluice]

then maybe invest in upgrading ur sword and get better stuff duhhh

[hoary anvil]

🤔 then how'd you unlock ||their statue||?

[hollow sluice]

||by getting to abs rad once||

[tired root]

I do not have the time to save 31 ||grubs||

[hoary anvil]

oh, by done you meant beat, i thought you meant attempted

[hollow sluice]

its like 20 mins of work max

MAYBE 30

[tired root]

I. Am. On. My. First. Blind. Playthrough. I am NOT skilled in finding ||grubs||

[hollow sluice]

then i shall not tell u what is an easy way

UNLESS u want me to tell u

[tired root]

maybe later

[hollow sluice]

WITH explaining each step carefully thy to not reveal the whole mystery

[hollow sluice]

i mean it is worth it

i have 200h on hollow knight am i cooked ?

||i have done steel soul 100%||

[crystal juniper]

|| guys how do i get dashing ||

[hollow sluice]

explore the map

I SHALL NOT TELL U

[crystal juniper]

ok

[hollow sluice]

until u explore the map

[crystal juniper]

ok

[solid heart]

what?

[hearty tulip]

no

[hollow sluice]

OH

DAMN

u have alot

[thorn pond]

can i use ||dream gate|| while having ||delicate flower||

thanks i saw it

[cinder current]

you cannot use the ||Dreamgat|| while carrying the ||Delicate Flower||

[naive swan]

Nope still 2

[stray hawk]

is doing bosses on ||radiant|| worth it?

[junior karma]

Yea

[stray hawk]

ok

[junior karma]

Yup

[stray hawk]

5 more days of pain for me

[thorn pond]

can i bench warp while having ||delicate flower||?

[stray hawk]

is that a mod?

[thorn pond]

no its a trick where you sit on a bench and then leave and rejoin your save

[hearty tulip]

if you’re doing the original quest, no

[thorn pond]

wdym

[hearty tulip]

(it sets your bench)

so you’ll respawn at the start

[thorn pond]

oh thanks

yeah that makes sense

they would never let it slide

[native wren]

Where do I find the part for glitches?

[stray hawk]

are ||stag stations|| usable for that quest?

[thorn pond]

no

[stray hawk]

well then what can you do?

[thorn pond]

just do it

no tricks

first time it took me like 6 tries

[stray hawk]

it is near ||kings station|| right?

[opaque junco]

I can direct you if you'd like

[cold rock]

||resting grounds, i have an image from yesterday of the location of youd like ||

[stray hawk]

ok

[thorn pond]

the flower or the destination?

[stray hawk]

flower

[cold rock]

here

go up there

[stray hawk]

i got an idea for that now

[stiff sentinel]

Guys

I still can’t beat ||hornet 2||

[stray hawk]

leave do the ||dreamers|| then come back

[cold rock]

||the easiest way to do it is:

1. Set deamgate at grey mourner
2. Plan your route to the grave, and mark it with pins on your map
3. Follow that route without the flower and kill everything on the way
4. Dreamgate back and get flower
5. Go through the same route and deliver the flower

Make sure to not sit on a bench after setting your dreamgate as that will respawn enemies along the way which you don't want. Soul can help to kill enemies from afar if you really need but you shouldn't really, since you'll have killed them all already

Do you know where to go? I also have an image of that if you need from yesterday lol||

[stray hawk]

is that an uncspoiler?

[opaque junco]

Possibly

You can get there without them

So

[thorn pond]

just learn her moveset

[cold rock]

If you can't figure out a good route, there's a pretty good one the hk wiki

[stiff sentinel]

Me?

[stray hawk]

no me

[stiff sentinel]

I have

I still can’t get it

[opaque junco]

||Play as if its normal hornet, and then destroy the things she spawns||

[stray hawk]

easiest way is pain

just keep on trying

[thorn pond]

destroy spikes immediately
pogo a lot try not to get damaged a lot
get good charms
get gud

[thorn pond]

in this quest you always lose for something dumb

like a dumb spike

[stray hawk]

how did charms not sensor?

[opaque junco]

I believe it gives a %

[hollow sluice]

np

no

[thorn pond]

it gives a ||mask shard||

[opaque junco]

So inderectly a %

[thorn pond]

yes

[cold rock]

||Don't try to force heal. This fight is very punishing if you do
You need to learn when it's safe to attack, and when you should focus on dodging. For example when the spikes are in the arena your top priority is to clear them, spells help a lot since one shade soul with shaman on can clear all 3 a lot of the time.

Only heal during stagger, you should be able to get 2 masks in without quick focus

If there's a specific attack you're struggling with or certain situations then there's strategies but most people figure out basegame hornet 2 after a while either way||

[opaque junco]

I wouldn;t mention ||qs|| because they might not have iot

[cold rock]

Taken it out

[cold rock]

Also, if you want build help then just send ss of your charms

[thorn pond]

bro i have finished the game im just doing it on ||steel soul||

[cold rock]

oh nevermind

Are you doing no quitouts

[thorn pond]

what do you mean

you mean without clearing the route?

[cold rock]

as in if you quit out of the game you can go back to your last bench to get full health and escape a tough situation especially if close to death or in a boss fight

[cold rock]

I see you around here idk why I didn't recognise your name mb haha

[hollow sluice]

i have GREAT advice for anyone struggling with any boss

[thorn pond]

really im recognisable? wow

[cold rock]

Your pfp largely

[cold rock]

What

[thorn pond]

well it is unique

[cold rock]

Knew it

[hollow sluice]

the gif says git gud by silksong

:(

[thorn pond]

everything is getting deleted atp

[cold rock]

You should do || radhog ||

[thorn pond]

from fallout?

[cold rock]

Well you'd think that enemies you find within the first minute of playthrough aren't filtered

But then

[thorn pond]

i searched it idk it

[cold rock]

||radiant hall of gods, every boss on radiant||

if you can do that then ||steel soul|| will be much more of a breeze for you

[thorn pond]

im aiming for it
but rn im trying to get all achievements in both games

[cold rock]

Oh ok

how's it going

||u need to spoiler mark your message like this||

[opaque junco]

||sealed siblings?||

[cold rock]

Or do /spoiler at the start of it

[opaque junco]

Is that an ||ending||

[thorn pond]

yes

[tired root]

I just got ||sealed siblings||. I mean. an ||ending is a ending||

[opaque junco]

Which one?

[cold rock]

Did you get the base one

[tired root]

the normal one with just replacing the hollow knight alone? no

[cold rock]

oh ok

[tired root]

I forgot ngl

[thorn pond]

||when hornet opens thk's dream for you to fight the radiant
dont dream nail him
keep killing him||

[tired root]

||sealed siblings||

[thorn pond]

yes

[opaque junco]

No achievment?

[thorn pond]

yes achievement

[opaque junco]

What achievement?

[thorn pond]

||sealed siblings||

[opaque junco]

Ah nevermind I see it

[thorn pond]

is there no achievement for ||steel soul 112%||?

[thorn citrus]

How do you save || zote in deep nest||

[sly rune]

No.

[sly rune]

That area in the room can only be entered from the room above.

[thorn citrus]

Thank you

[cunning thistle]

how do i leave this place? ||just got the gound pound thigy||

[sly rune]

||Wall climb up a little bit and then go left, there will be another floor you can dive through. ||

[cunning thistle]

yoootysm

gopt it

[rocky cosmos]

what are the requirements to go to the|| junk pit||

[acoustic sigil]

I don't think there are many

||Have dive, have wall jump||

[frail crane]

yea, that's pretty much it

[thorn citrus]

How do I get the || sealed siblings ending||

[crude cliff]

What charms do you have?

And which ||endings|| have you already gotten, if any?

[thorn citrus]

||Become the vessel||

[crude cliff]

Good
Its also missable if you get the ||sealed siblings|| one first

Which charms do you have?

[thorn citrus]

A lot of them

Which ones do I need

[crude cliff]

Bottom right?

Likely not

[thorn citrus]

||Grimm child?||

[crude cliff]

No

Right of it

[thorn citrus]

Then no

[crude cliff]

Ok
You need to find that
And its hidden in lategame areas

I want to give more clues but I dont really know where to start

[thorn citrus]

I have every map

[crude cliff]

I dont want to spoil too much besides that you have fun to go

[crude cliff]

You can start in ||queens gardens||

[thorn citrus]

Oh no

[crude cliff]

Also, what late-abilities do you have?

You need 1 specifically

[thorn citrus]

I have || shade cloak||

[crude cliff]

Yes

Thats the one

Well thats a pretty big hint aswell

Shouldnt be too far from the ||stag||

[thorn citrus]

||Stag?||

[crude cliff]

||fast travel||

The station

In ||queens gardens||

I assumed you had it which I do realise might be a misplaced assumption

[worn kernel]

||are the flowers from traitor grave limited||

[crude cliff]

No

[median seal]

Who wanna see something scary

[sonic arch]

is the ||blind guy in fungal wastes a scammer||

[red cairn]

no

[sick kelp]

not exactly a scammer but kinda overpriced

[royal hull]

Oh hello!
Also nah

[sick kelp]

show

guess we'll never se

e

[crude cliff]

e

[thorn citrus]

Do I need to kill ||traitor lord for void heart||

[crude cliff]

yes

[sick kelp]

good luck bro

[thorn citrus]

Fr

[desert stream]

thats the easy part in my opinion… best of luck

[sick kelp]

is it? whats the hard part
i have bad memoru

[desert stream]

||white palace||

[sick kelp]

tbh ||traitor lord|| was harder for me lowke

[desert stream]

imo ||traitor lord|| was easier

[sick kelp]

||white palace|| didnt annoy me as much as ||traitor lord|| i had to leave and come back later

[desert stream]

it only has like 3 moves and is basically a big punching bag with ||quick slash||

[crude cliff]

also
that boss is gatekept by that ability for a reason

dont worry to overuse it

[sick kelp]

dont you need to use it ayway during the fight

how can you overuse it

[crude cliff]

yes but that might not be obvious when you are just starting

[sick kelp]

ah true

[crude cliff]

not, thats what I meant to convey

the boss is tailored too the cooldown

[thorn citrus]

Is there ||a grub locked behind traitor lord ||

[sick kelp]

have you got ||love key||

[crude cliff]

very annoying grubsounds
you could reach it prior

[thorn citrus]

Yes

[sick kelp]

try find out where it belongs and it'll help you with ||grubs||

also did you play ss before hk?

woah

[thorn citrus]

Yes

[thorn citrus]

I already did that

[sick kelp]

oh have you not beaten the ||collecter|| then

[thorn citrus]

I have

[sick kelp]

wait then why didnt you know where that ||grub|| was 😭

[thorn citrus]

Cause it looks like it is behind||traitor lord||

[simple zephyr]

Anyway to get ||dream nail not though crystal place im not botherd to get the lantern ||

[thorn citrus]

Rip

Idk though

[simple zephyr]

Is there a way in ||kindoms edge ||

[royal hull]

[sick kelp]

[rustic light]

Just ruined ma whole career

[balmy path]

help

Im abot to piss myself if I stand up

[fringe mortar]

Why💀

[royal hull]

This is hk-help

[balmy path]

yea

the help channel

I need help

[royal hull]

For hollow knight

[balmy path]

I play hollow knight

maybe I should go to the sk one tho

[royal hull]

It's help exclusively about hollow knight

Make sure you spoiler, 72

[scenic stump]

anyone know the best charm build for someone who is fairly new and sucks really badly at hollow knight? my charms are ||Wayward compass
Stalwart shell
Longnail
Fury of the fallen
Steady body
Dreamshield
Shaman stone
Soul catcher
Baldur shell
Quick focus
Lifeblood heart
Fragile heart||

[royal hull]

What's your ||notches?||

[scenic stump]

6

[royal hull]

||and how much geo are you willing to sac||

[scenic stump]

I have like none rn, but idc how much ||geo it is||

[royal hull]

||shaman, fragile heart/long nail, steady body||
Or what Li said - v

[stoic fulcrum]

I'd say || shamman stone || and || Quick focus ||

[stoic fulcrum]

This too

[balmy path]

||Dreamshield, longnail, soul catcher, quick focus, fragile heart|| pick between them based on what your doing

[stoic fulcrum]

Just try out both builds and see what works for you

[royal hull]

||dreanshielder over shaman is something||

[scenic stump]

Okay thanks

[stoic fulcrum]

|| dreamshield || is not good at all tbh so we can drop that for || shamman ||

[royal hull]

||though know dreamshield is incredibly bad||

[balmy path]

WDYM ITS NOT GOOD

[royal hull]

It's one of the worst charms in game

[balmy path]

THAT THING CARRIED ME THROUGH MOST BOSSES

[royal hull]

So did ||spores|| for Ship and it's still not good

[balmy path]

IT BLOCKS ATTACKS, AND DAMAGES

[royal hull]

It may

[scenic stump]

yeah ship and Li are right, I tried ||dreamshield, but it does kinda suck||

[sly rune]

It gets deactivated if it damages.

[stoic fulcrum]

That wasn't || dreamshield ||. That was all you.

[balmy path]

It DOES

[sly rune]

And with how slow it moves, you have to go out of your way for it to block an attack most of the time.

[balmy path]

NAH

[stoic fulcrum]

Does same damage as your nail
slow as fuck
Doesn't block half the attacks in the game
Annoying ass noise
|| 3 Notches ||

[royal hull]

||pitiful damage output, slow moving, rarely actually blocks, most enemies early on are not ranged, cab brek||

[balmy path]

Not great for early enemies

[stoic fulcrum]

Don't forget that half the time it doesn't even block certain attacks

[royal hull]

They are early on btw

[stoic fulcrum]

literally the only boss where it's the slightest bit decent is || oblobbles ||

[royal hull]

||also shaman||

[sly rune]

Most enemies aren't ranged, period.

[scenic stump]

no shit

[balmy path]

BUT THATS ALL

[balmy path]

OHHH

[royal hull]

||it doesn't even block a majority of attacks that's actually worth noting effectively||

[stoic fulcrum]

as for this one

• Good across the entire game especially Early-mid game
• Cheap
• one shots most early game enemies
• Variety

[balmy path]

FOR THOSE THINGS ITS TRASH

[scenic stump]

brudda read the message before you think about responding

[hoary anvil]

the only time i've seen it (||dreamshield||) considered was like ||oblobbles||, but then when it drifts out of where it helps i might be slightly out of position because i couldn't use the blocked shots as reference

[stoic fulcrum]

which tells you just how bad it is

[balmy path]

It does alot

[stoic fulcrum]

prove it

[balmy path]

I readd it i didnt see the early sorrry im astigmatic

[balmy path]

its trash for some bosses

[royal hull]

It does not in practice
Especially compared to the other three ||notchers||

[stoic fulcrum]

Beat all bosses || on radiant || while having || dreamshield || equipped

[scenic stump]

alrighty so ima get on my way and klet you guys beef it out. Thanks for the help btw

[royal hull]

||it's trash for all bossses||

[stoic fulcrum]

And tell us just how much it does for each fight

[balmy path]

no pic perms

[stoic fulcrum]

Np gng good luck and have fun :)

[balmy path]

NAH

[stoic fulcrum]

You have them here

[royal hull]

Ship can actually type rn why for each boss

[scenic stump]

thanks!

[balmy path]

Wdym practice

[royal hull]

When actually used in battle

[balmy path]

aren't you ship

[royal hull]

Yeah

[stoic fulcrum]

3rd person

[balmy path]

its great

[royal hull]

Okay type to time

[stoic fulcrum]

Isn't it time to type-

Continue

[royal hull]

||false knight, mainly range, doesn't block the Shockwave isrc, the falling chunks are flingable||

[balmy path]

Maybe its abt knowing how to use it cus its an 8/10 charm for me

[balmy path]

[royal hull]

||gruzmother, a bit too agile actually use effectively because she moves too much||

[balmy path]

okk i get it

[balmy path]

I swear tho

[royal hull]

Ship is gonna contuine

[stoic fulcrum]

If you apparently know how to use it to the point where it's an 8/10 || charm || for you i think it's about time you use other || charms || and win straight up

this is like || sharp shadow || where if you already learnt positioning and timing to use it well you don't need it anymore

And should instead use things which are alot better

[royal hull]

||Hornet 1, no ranged attacks to get rid off, too fast for dream shield attack||

[balmy path]

but

[balmy path]

its a top tier charm for some bosses

[royal hull]

||big Mossy headcharger, the rotation is too slow to actually get hits if you do the strat, if not it's too fast for the shield to hit||

[royal hull]

||compared to Mark of pride, quick slash, strength and shaman, nah||

[balmy path]

i GET IT

Yall hate my baby

[fringe mortar]

The only thing I found to be useful with ||dreamsheild|| was fighting those spiders back in ||deepnest||

[royal hull]

Don't think we can use the stickers here

[stoic fulcrum]

I agree with you on that one
But when you already learn timings even when using it, it becomes kinda pointless.
Better than || dreamshield || tho. In the sense you can actually make good use of it

[stoic fulcrum]

There's no pins rule about that tho

[balmy path]

wdym better than ||dreamshield||

[royal hull]

Nvm remembered someone spammed it, not spoilers

[balmy path]

we cantt???

[stoic fulcrum]

Doesn't have an annoying ass sound

[stoic fulcrum]

You can

[royal hull]

||actually consistent damage output, already adds what shade dash nornally does and just makes it better||

[balmy path]

ohh ok

[balmy path]

yea

[balmy path]

[stoic fulcrum]

anyway purr now iam scared of you using the gud charms

[balmy path]

THE SOUND IS MUSIC TO ME EARHOLES

[balmy path]

Whyy

[stoic fulcrum]

Then you need to get them checked

[royal hull]

Ship is gonna go contuije with the bosses

[balmy path]

[stoic fulcrum]

If you are claiming to be good with that just imagine other || charms || 💀

[balmy path]

you speak in 3rd person

[stoic fulcrum]

Write them in a copypasta so that whenever anyone thinks it's good you hit them with the "nuh uh"

[balmy path]

I hate ||shaman stone|| btw

[stoic fulcrum]

why

[balmy path]

it's never been useful to me ig

[royal hull]

||Mantis lords, too agile, the projectiles are incredibly easy to dodge and most are physical||

[royal hull]

Doesn't mean you have to not recommend others

[stoic fulcrum]

Buy it right after || hornet 1|| and use it all the way to the end
trust me. It's so nice

And it's genuienly so broken when you get || shade soul || early

[balmy path]

they're easy to dodge when you're use to them

[royal hull]

Ship doesn't like ||steady body|| yet it's still an incredibly good charm

[royal hull]

The power of jumping

[balmy path]

yea I just dont know aht it does so I didnt recomend it

[balmy path]

and timing

its muscle memory

[royal hull]

||the projectiles are predictable and pogoable||

||Mantis lords are incredibly telegraphed||

[balmy path]

Ill consider

[balmy path]

Not predictable for me

struggled so hard until i upgraded my nail

[stoic fulcrum]

Boosts || spell damage || by numbers which at first may not sound like alot
Until you realise || fireball || can double hit
|| Dive/ddark gets even more damage ||
|| Howling wraiths/abyss shriek existing ||

[royal hull]

||increases the already high damage output of spells to even more, makes soul blasts bigger so more likely to double hit||

[balmy path]

and me friends

[stoic fulcrum]

Fair

[balmy path]

i did not know that

[balmy path]

oh wow

[stoic fulcrum]

220 || geo || btw

[balmy path]

yea

[stoic fulcrum]

Here's a funny thing too
|| 3 howling wraiths|| with || shamman || are enough to defeat one of the || 2 mantis lords ||

Do not sleep on early game || shamman ||

[balmy path]

Just 3??

dang

[stoic fulcrum]

|| 180 damage total. Hits 9 times ||

[balmy path]

ooh wow

[stoic fulcrum]

Anyway hk disc spoilers tags are so ew

[balmy path]

[royal hull]

||what do you have unlocked||

[royal hull]

||dreamers||

[scenic stump]

[ocean gazelle]

They’re ||dreamers, you have to “kill” them to beat the final boss, they’re in different places, they aren’t boss fights tho, although two of them are locked behind one ||

[scenic stump]

ok

[covert basin]

Give me the dummest ||hollow knight charm build|| it can be anything

[viscid skiff]

And one of them is locked behind ||the spooky scary spider area and the Mantis Lords||

[glad quartz]

[junior karma]

||Kingsoul glowing womb heavy blow deep focus||

||I recommend you to upgrade your spells first, desolate dive and vengeful spirit in special

I recommend you to buy shaman stone and search for soul eater, you can also try to use shaman stone + quick slash + grubsong, if don't like soul eater||

[untold schooner]

||i dashed into thorn bal again||

chat

should i use ||joni blessing||

for ||hornet 2||

[alpine comet]

it can be good for just praticing the boss

[untold steeple]

Where to get that?

[alpine comet]

how far you ?

[primal ibex]

As the others said, replace ||heavy blow and compass with quickslash||, and use a lot of ||desolate dives||

[untold steeple]

The bench by ||Hornet 2||

[wide canyon]

Yes

[alpine comet]

alr its in a hidden zone in ||Howling cliffs ||

like bottom right side

[untold steeple]

Ew, I hate that area

Who is that guy dropping bodies from the area before the ||Hornet|| Bench? Just a bunch of falling bodies.

[wide canyon]

||its from the colloseum of fools||

[untold steeple]

Gulp.

[hidden terrace]

hey guys im new do i go for||dreamnail|| after ||mantis claw||?

[wide canyon]

||if you keep climbing and go a bit left , u will find it||

[untold steeple]

I'm scared

[wide canyon]

||do it at last, u will be skilled by then and ur nail would be max||

[untold steeple]

You need ||Mantis Claw|| For literally 80% of the game. So ||Mantis Claw||

[wide canyon]

I think he got it already

[untold steeple]

Oh yea

Mb

[untold steeple]

No, get ||Crystal Heart||

Well, after ||Desolate Dive||

[wide canyon]

Dont look for things, just explore , you will find them naturally

[uncut iris]

Go at your own pace

You have two ways to go
